The Champions of Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland get their European campaigns underway this evening. And the good news is they're only 20 matches away from the final in Istanbul in May!
At least one British side will be present in the next qualifying round though, as Welsh side, The New Saints, who actually play in Shropshire, face the semi-pros of Linfield from Belfast.
TNS were desperatly unlucky not make it to the Play-off round of the Europa Conference League last season. After disposing of Northen Irish side Glentoran, they then hammered Lithunians, Kauno Žalgiris, 10-1 on aggregate to set-up up a clash with Viktoria Plzeň. The Czech's had been a Champions League group side just two seasons earlier and left the Cardiff City stadium with 4-2 defeat courtesy of two very late goals. A 3-1 home win for the Czech side took it to penalties and it was TNS who's hearts were broken.
They cruised to the Cymru Premier League title though, 21 points ahead of Bala Town, suffering just one defeat at home. Former Dunfermline striker, Declan McManus top scored with 24 goals.
Linfield lost out to opposition from Luxembourg at the same stage as TNS and they've struggle to make an impact in European football for many season. David Healy's side did win their fourth consecutive title however, by a single point, just edging rivals Cliftonville at the top of the table.
If The New Saints' performances in Europe last season are anything to go by they should be worthy favourites at 20/21 tonight to take a first leg lead over to Belfast.
Irish Champions, and current league leaders, Shamrock Rovers should enjoy a comfortable win over Hibernians of Malta in Tallaght. The visitors' European record is abysmal, they've won just 14 of 76 European ties, although they have bettered teams from San Marino, Liechtenstein and Estonia in recent years. Rovers should be a cut above and although 3/10 to win look to add them to score a couple of goals in the process to boost the odds.
Elsewhere a Treble of Cluj, Malmo and Ludogorets pays 6/5

** Burundi played 9 games since last October and scored in all 9 **
I don’t know the standard of the opposition but I don’t believe Botswana are world beaters so can’t be much better.
Botswana played 9 in that period keeping just one clean sheet.
Togo women were less fancied to score against Tunisia yesterday but netted in a 4-1 loss.
Worth pointing out these have not had a 0-0 in their last 14 games.
That’s the kiss of death isn’t it
No point predicting this as I know nowt about afcon women but I think goals are over priced here considering the lack of collateral form to go on.

Full house on this 🇧🇮👍🇧🇼
Would be careful with the TNS tip. Linfield are not actually a semi-pro side and went professional at the beginning of last season. Linfield have already made four very good signings in recent weeks and with these games generally tight in the first leg this one won’t be easy for either team. Under 2.5 goals at 17/20 seems like a safer option to me.
Linfield are pros bit of misinformation there.
Usually the Irish league is much stronger than the Welsh bar TNS who are solid enough but I’d say a draw is a more likely outcome tonight.

Seychelles to score 7-4 SKYBET.
This is in neutral South Africa and Botswana despite being limp in front of goal are 1-5 to win. They probably will and a repeat of their last encounter which Botswana won 3-1 would be nice.
Statistically I can’t make a good case for this and this more in hope than anything else 🤷♂️

LECH POZNAN – QARABAG FK
Hosts of this game have recently appointed a new manager. There was no official game played by Lech since then, only few training sessions were available for the team to understand new coach’s phylosophy. Adding to that, few key players have left the club in this transfer window.
Qarabag on the other hand have not lost a single game since February 2022. It was in Europa League against Marseille at home.
The value here for visitors is great IMO.

Vikingur are mid season against a team just starting back who have a fair trip over to the faroes to make. On top of that Vikingur are having a good season and hitting goals for fun. As much as Faroese football is a pretty low standard, having watched both I rate it higher than football in Gibraltar. While I don’t expect any of the Faroese teams to qualify, against teams of this level they can more than hold their own on home soil.
Good luck 🤞

Uganda (Women) v Morocco (Women)
05 Jul 21:00.
UGANDA to score 10-11 NAP/NB 🇺🇬 at HILLS….
** double stake as BTTS is only 11-10 and not enough difference in price **
Hosts Morocco will have 40.000 cheering them on but they are not as dominant in Africa as the men’s team are.
They have home advantage and a win will see them through with Senegal.
UGANDA Need a point to stay in the race for 2nd or it’s only a big win in their last game v burkino Faso to try and get a best 3rd place spot.
UGANDA lost 2-0 to Senegal 1st up but by all accounts poor finishing cost them as they were more than a match for Senegal in open play despite Senegal being 2-7 to win.
** Before this game Uganda had won 7 consecutive games **
Been on Flashscores and Livescores. Both saying Thor v KV ended 3-1…Had it in an acca >2.5 match goals and Hills have settled it as a loser?…Did it finish 3-1, does anyone know for sure….Cheers
For some reason, Hills didn’t have the match in their inplays – best guess is they may have lost their feed .
Sofascores have it 3:1 too.
Cheers Chris, they’ve now settled as a winner
Anyone backing the Alloa vs Queens Park friendly, the game should be voided:
“The game is ended after 80 minutes after a horrible collision between Fox and trialist keeper for Alloa (who ex-Spider Willie Muir) who requires medical treatment. It ended Alloa 0-0 Queen’s Park”
Yeah thanks Chris, was just going to post.. hopefully stakes are returned
