As I will be up burning the midnight oil i am going to have a dabble.I know very little but I saw Banfield on telly a few weeks back and they looked well drilled and quite a slick outfit.
Somewhat blindly I am going to have a modest punt on them to overcome Olimpo. 4/5 at Bet 365.
If anyone has any useful insights into tonights games that might encourage further dabblings. Good luck anyway folks.

Early Sat. AM games:

Arsenal (Arg) v Colon (X) @3.10

10/26/2003 Colon-Arsenal de Sarandi 1-0
03/16/2003 Colon-Arsenal de Sarandi 0-0
08/25/2002 Arsenal de Sarandi-Colon 2-3

H2H's don't back me up much, but this game is screaming 'draw' at me. Colon aren't much cop away - w1 d1 l3 and Arsenal @ home w1 d3 l0.

Banfield v Olimpo (2) @4.00

Olimp. nothing to write home about but have performed better away than at home so far with 2 wins and 3 losses. Banf. @ home w1 d2 l2.

Even saying that, if it was just a straight 'tip the winner' I'd go for Banf. (So I think you *should* have a winner, gurdjieff.)
However, 1.80 for the (1) has little appeal. 4.00 for the (2) is better but this isn't one to get carried away over.

Quilmes v San Lorenzo (2) @2.62

Quil. have only lost once @ home but I quite like San L. away. w2 d3 l0 in the Clausura. In the Apertura, their away form was 2nd only to Boca with w6 d1 l2. GF13 GA5.

Apologies for lack of reasoning tonight .... better games tomorrow imo.

Hey Chaps

Banfield v Olimpo (1.00 AM)

The match you probaly seen Gurd was River v Banfield on C4,Banfield were fcuking amazing that game i thought aswell,won 3-2 in the end @ River !.Omar Perez had a great game scoring a cracker from 25 yards.Perez returns to the starting line up for this game.

1.80 @ BET365 looks fair to me for a home win tonight.

Quilmes v San Lorenzo (1.10 AM)

Like San Lo here to beat a weakend Quilmes who will miss 5 players tonight - Alayes, Herbella, Pagés, Meléndez and Lopez.San Lo form of late has not been great (1 win in last 8 ) but they should grab 3 points tonight against Quilmes who are nothing special.

2.62 @ BET365 for the Away win for me is a nice bet with quilmes having 5 players out.

Arsenal v Colon (1.00 AM GMT)

Arse a tough nut to crack at home but Colon a better quality team IMO and also Arsenal have two defenders out.
Most bookies go around 2.60 for the away win but Betfair go 3.35 and are probaly worth a punt at that price.

Will probaly not put my bet on that till closer to kick off though.

Arsenal F C V Colon - Colon to win @ 3.35
Banfield v Olimpo - Banfield to win @ 1.80
Quilmes v San Lorenzo - San Lorenzo to win @ 2.62

Good luck.

FT Arsenal S. 1 - 0 Colon :|
FT Banfield 2 - 0 Olimpo :|
FT Quilmes 1 - 1 San Lorenzo :|

(Good call on Banf. last night by gurdjieff and Tosh.)

took Banfield @1.66 first of a five fold - nice one Gurdjieff and Tosh

five fold with...

Hammaby
PSV
Catania
Trelleborgs (sunday)

certainly a very rare bad day for Raven!??! Any thoughts on Racing Club @2.25 away against At Rafaela?

galea

A very quick post before I go out and start drinking heavily ..........

Atletico PR v Racing Club (2) @2.25.

10/25/2003 Racing-Atletico Rafaela 4-1

Rac. 5th in Clausura w6 d1 l3.
Atl. 12th w3 d2 l5.

Atl. @ home w1 d2 l2. 17th best.
Rac. away w2 d0 l3. 9th best.

Rac. 3 losses away but, at home, Atl. low scorers with only GF3 GA4. Racing GF9 GA11.


Newell's v Velez Sarsfield (X)
Vel. away @ Newells strongly point to the X - 3 of last 4 were draws.

Independiente v Rosario Central (2) @ 4.70 (Hills) - Taken purely on price as I think 4.70 is too large. (BF go 4.80.)

River Plate v Gimnasia (1)
Estudiantes LP v Boca Juniors (2)
[The usual Double here.]

[gurdjieff]

Having been out and drunk moderately heavily I shall consciously perform a cardinal sin,namely placing a wad of hard earned cash on something basically I know pretty well naff all about whilst pi$$ed. A classic "seemed like a good idea at the time scenario" no less.
Anyway enough of this preambulative wiseacring and sub moronic gibbertudinal eccentricity I am putting todays not inconsequential winnings on independiente at 8/11.
Ehk twas brillig and the slithy toths did gimble and mire in the wabe zzzzzz

[gurdjieff]

Well the independiente game was a mini rollercoaster:
33' [0 - 1] Olarra

51' [1 - 1] Zurita

66' [1 - 2] Ferrari (pen.)

70' [2 - 2] Losada

87' [3 - 2] J. Castillo

hic

Atletico PR v Racing Club (2) @2.25. FT1-2.
Newell's v Velez Sarsfield (X) @3.10 FT2-2.
Independiente v Rosario Central (2) @4.70 (Hills) FT3-2. :|


River and Boca to win (double) also a :| as both drew. 1-1 and 2-2.

Overall - loss of 1.65 points to level stakes.
