UEFA Cup Winner - 2007/8

[meatman]

thing is though, is UEFA cup- really a proiroty for Bayern also, I'm not so sure???

[jamieludlow]

I reckon Everton have a chance and have great odds at 29/1

They have some good players like Yakubu, Johnson, Lescott, Yobo and they play well together. Got to be worth a small punt. Maybe a fiver or something.

[jamieludlow]

Villareal at 17/1 looks good too

[rossoneri83]

Only Bayern Munich!!!

[Djslutmonkey]

Bayern are prohibitively short imo at 4/1, despite being worthy favourites. But Leverkusen; they are available at 33/1, yet are merely 6 points behind behind Bayern in the Bundesliga. Is there a good reason for the huge discrepancy in odds, or is it simply because of Bayern being the big draw for punters, and therefore bookies are covering their asses?

[Anglophile]

I struggle to see the value in Bayern Munich that a lot of my fellow punters see, they are a cracking side but they are by no means invincible(they have won 10/17 matches in the Bundesliga this year)

Werder Bremen on the other hand is seriously undervalued by the odds compilers.
Although recent results don't speak well they can be amazing on their day, they got plenty of players that have stepped up to the challenge after losing the influential Klose.

1 point ew on Werder Bremen @ 16/1 Stan James

Although Helsingborg didn't impress in the Swedish league they did manage to make an impression in the UEFA cup winning 3-2 at Galatasaray and beating Herenveen 5-1 at home.
Top scorer Omotoyossi looks likely to leave the club but they are in negotiations to buy the best striker in Sweden at the moment Johan Oremo.
It also looks like Henrik Larsson might play one last season for them(i think he will do it as the promise of UEFA cup football is enticing to him)

0.25 point on Helsingborg @ 339/1 Betfair

Marseille is also seriously under estimated by the market as they got a cracking team, they've had alot of bad results this year but they can play good football and i think they'll be able to beat Spartak.
If they manage to get their act together they might even be able to go as far as winning the competition.

1 point on Marseille @ 54/1 Betfair

I've also got 0.25 point on Galatasaray on Betfair at 129/1, the odds are simply too big for Gala in Europe.


All bets on betfair will be traded at some stage, if and when i do i will advise here.

Also if id had to choose between the English teams id back Everton at 12/1, can't see any value in Spurs at 9/1.

Tottenham will do for me, as they're now getting their defense sorted out, and have done well so far considering! Getting stronger all the time and with class players in each department, I can see them getting to the semi finals at least, then maybe we can lay off a bit, as if all goes well they should be very short in price. The 11/1 currently looks value to me.

After seeing some recent Spurs performances i agree.

Also looking at Fiorentina at 19/1, will have a good look and decide if there's value.

[Cyathere]

Arsenal is #1 for me!

[DJ]

PSV next for Spurs which will definitely not be easy! Especially seeing as likely King and Hutton will be missing from the back 4. I think it is safest to rule King out of most team selections, that way happier when he does play and gives any backing Spurs bets that much more chance!

I think Spurs can win the Uefa Cup and the team have showed the character and spirit is there, however, I feel the price is about right. There are a lot of strong teams left and any team who wins the whole competition will have a task on their hands just to get to the final.

[Wanderer89]

Boltons name is on the cup. We will steam sporting lisbon, crush rangers in quaters, easily beat munich in semis then a dramatic win vs everton in final. These are our glory days!

[geezagoal]

Sorry wanderer but its a bayern v rangers final cant see rangers losing in any legs to sporting as they were pretty poor at home to a second string bolton. bring on psv.

[MartyMcG_1967]

I placed a small bet on Zenit to win the UEFA Cup just before the second legs. I really thought Getafe would put Bayern out as they had been playing well and the Bavarians looked there for the taking and also if Bayern went out as I expected Zenit's odds would drop considerably. Unfortunately the 6.6 I took has now drifted to 7.2, still think this is too big with four teams left and I think they are better placed to beat Bayern over 2 legs rather than a one off game as they have pace on the counter away from home and no-one likes travelling to Russia.

They have put out some impressive sides notably Villarreal so feel they are being a bit underestimated.

[WHUPUNTER]

I backed Bayern way back in the summer and after the other night, their name is on the cup for sure.

Hope this helps

I cant believe that zenit are the outsiders for the cup, they've been playing really good football recently. Is this just an effect of the rangers odds being shortened on uk bookies because of the larger sums being staked on them by fans?

Zenit are now down to 1.7 on Betfair and have a great chance IMO

[SeanMac]

im going with Zenit to win the Uefa and combining it with Man utd to win the Champions league , £10 pays £28

[Oasis]

Zenit to win in 90 minutes 6/5,Rangers luck cannot continue!! Otherwise they will have been the luckiest team in european history!!
