UEFA Cup Semis 2nd leg (3/5)

[burningham]

I have to go against the crowd and suggest a Espanyol +1 AH here.
A thing called morale plays a big part in football games, and in this situation, it looks like it's bremen who lack the morale. They are coming off a 3:2 defeat, missed the chance to take the top of bundesliga table. The thing is Bremen HAVE to score at least 3 goals, and that's pressure. Espanyol have nothing to play for in the league anymore, they will be putting 100% into this game, they want this one.

Good point mate. I am with you on this one. The stakes are too low on Werder. I don't think this is real.

I made the point b4 that Werder fielded a 2nd team for this game... hardly low morale if u loose with a 2nd team away from home... they have conceeded the league with the aim 2 take this game... either that or they believe they can conquer the league w/o that win... either way supports Werders cause and hi hopes for this game and with a higher level of class @ home in germany... and w/o Pandiani... just got reinforce looks good 4 Werder... But hey gl I hope we both win... Not sure its possible but I'm gona 4 it...

hmm I don't see why they should conceed the league... they're just 2 points off the top, with 3 games to go!! even Chelsea haven't given up

And I don't see how a team with Klose, Diego, Frings etc starting can be considered a 2nd team..

I agree though when bremen are playing their best game, they are a class above Espanyol. We'll have to see, which bremen turns up, i guess.

GL for your one though

Espanyol, @7.10
5/10 stake
its simple, its a big value here!
bremen needs 4 goals with clean sheet, if they concede one, they have to score 5.
i am not sure they will have motivation for it as there are left only 3 games in bundesliga, they are 2 points back of the leader and they will face Hertha this sunday. I dont say Werder cant win or even cant qualify but under these conditions, conceding one goal will ruin everything and Espanol is very capable of that against shaky Werder defence.

Sport	Football (Euro Cups)
Event	Seville - Osasuna
Selection	1 AH(-1) (Asian Handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	03/05/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Ladbrokes @ 1.88 (Back)
Reasoning	Defending UEFA cup champions and Spanish Liga leaders Sevilla have to make up a one goal deficit against the other spanish side Osasuna. With a powerful attacking line including the likes of Kanoute, Luis Fabiano and Chevanton, Sevilla have all the power to overcome the goal disadvantage and win by two goals or more.

Event	Sevilla-Osasuna
Selection	Sevilla -1 HC

Bookmaker/Price	SportingBet @ 2.25 (Back)
Reasoning	Sevilla must score two or more goals to continue their crusade for winning again the UEFA cup.Hard or not Huan De Ramos will put in the titular team all the players which leaded the team to this phase.Alves, Navaro and Kanoute will be the leading ones.Osasuna beat Sevilla with the minimal 1-0, and this maybe will cost them the chance to get to the final of UEFA cup.Sevilla are one of the best team at home from Spain, and they've beat Osasuna already at home with 2-0 as result.I think the match will be decided at the main time and the result will be in Sevilla's advantage with many goals.

Event	Werder-Espanyol
Selection	Werder -1 HC
Strength	10/10
Date	03/05/2007
Bookmaker/Price	SportingBet @ 2.20 (Back)
Reasoning	Werder must get back in the match and score 3 or more clean goals to continue their crusade in UEFA cup.They didn't play very well at the visit in Barcelona but i don't think they'll leave the things just like that.Diego, Klose, Borowski, Bauman and Frings will be the main persons which may lead Werder to the win.Espanyol are not a bad team, especially with players like Walter Pandiani and Raul Tamudo, but i don't think that this is the time which they will celebrate a win again.I predict a crushing win for Werder and maybe continuing in the tournament.

Reinke (4) - C. Fritz (4,5), Pasanen (3,5), Naldo (3,5), Owomoyela (5) - Baumann (4) - Frings (2,5), Vranjes (4) - Diego (2) - Klose (2,5), Rosenberg (3,5)

Thats the Werder team away to Armenia. Would you like to tell me how it's a second string eleven?

The league is their number one priority and the idea that they have conceded it is just garbage. Rubbish like this could lead people to bet on something they otherwise wouldn't.

As for tonight, the German league isn't as strong as it was and I'd lean towards a narrow Werder win, but Espanyol (who impressed me no end away at Benfica) to progress.

pick: Espanyol to win
odds: @7.10
bookie: pinnacle

its a big value here!

They did it against nearly in all away games in this cup, they beat Sparta Prag, Livorno, Ajax... of course you can say Werder is not a team at these teams level, but if they concede one, they can easily be at that level

Tough game once again expected. Osasuna will have defensive formation and defend 1:0 lead they have.
Till now all 3 games between these 2 teams ended with 2 goals most. 2:0, 0:0 and 1:0. Two in Primera and one in Uefa cup last week.
I fancy Sevilla to have the edge and clinch a qualification with a 2:0 win. Their class should prevail tonight but it won't be easy.
LAY Over 3.5 goals, betfair @4, looks like sure thing.

[MakavelliD]

Watched sevilla's last game in league. They attacked, attacked, attacked & didn't stop till goals start coming.

If they can get an early goal, i expect them to get 1 or 2 more as Osasuna may be less defensive.

Osasuna seem too work very hand & can get results, but an early goal is all seville need to upset this.

At home seville have been excellent. Away Osasuna have been poor enough. Osasuna are from north spain & should find it a lot more difficult to contain sevilla in sevilla's fortress which is in the far southern side of spain.

Im goin to take sevilla to qaulify at 1.98

... I stand corrected... thankyou for keeping me honest and I assure you that it was unitentional...

... Werder got the goal 1-0 (3:47)... this gona b a fun 1

[Punto Banco]

.... Klose sent off.... this game.... crazy....

[deeloughran]

How does Klose manage to get 2 yellows in 19mins
Anyone watching the game? Hows it going? is the sending off affecting Werder?

that's what im wondering

[deeloughran]

Get in Seville!!!...Luis Fabiano!

[fat]

Both Bremen and Sevilla managed to go ahead in the first half. The 2nd will be much more exciting. Come on!!!!!

[fat]

Now just pray for Bremen. Hope they can hold on at home. The Germans are well known for their ability to deliver despite personnel disadvantage. C'mon bhoys!!!!

[fat]

Sure Sevilla will find the 2nd goal they need soon. Their fans are screaming hard.
