Im sure there is some nice money to make like every year.
Inside info most welcome .

Esbjerg v NSI Runavik 1 1.12
Danish side vs Faroe Island side

This should be like money in the bank here..I have just seen Esbjergs squad for this one and they will not take this lightly, if they win here over 2 legs they look forward to meeting french side Nice. Before the return on the Faroe Island Esbjerg want to have a solid advantage, 1.12 on the 1 is okay!

Esbjerg has 3 doubtfuls in their squad for this game, but it very difficult to see past an Esbjerg in this clash even with 3 reserves in the starting 11.:b

Esbjerg has 3 doubtfuls in their squad for this game,

Jedd, where's the value in this bet @1.12...?

Very very simple Marek76 , there's a huge gap between Danish and Faroe Island clubfootball and Esbjerg has prooved very hard to beat at their at their homesoil, leaving this to be a VERY safe bet, IMO.:b

How this could be anything but a 1 is beyond me..

I admit that the price is somewhat poor but simply reflects quite well the gap in class..!!!:b

If you don't like such a short price ( even in an acc.??) then just leave it be it is that simple!

Grevenmacher v Tampere Utd 7.00 3.75 1.40

Tampere could be a VERY good bet here by the look of it.. Tampere has done very well especially with great defensive efforts, the finnish league is running at it's (highest) I don't think that's the case in Luxembourg?? Anyone know this?

I hope the Bet Pope will make a comment on this one...?

20 Jun-17:00 Odra Wodzislaw v Dinamo Minsk 2.00 3.40 3.00

there's good value in backing guests in this game. bookies set Odra as favourites basing only on the fact that they host the game. the most important news is that Odra's head coach together with the board have transferlisted 8 players from the first squad. additionaly their two best midfielders, Aleksander Kwiek and Marcin Radzewicz who have not been listed, have been granted permission to change clubs if fees will be agreed with potential buyers.
season has just finished recently in Poland and they finished it on a low, losing last 6 games of the season ,3 of them at home! (partly because there was no danger of relegation).

contrary to Odra, Dynamo Minsk play in the spring-autumn system. having played only 10 rounds they look very good.

home:
9. Dinamo_Mn 4 ( 2 1 1) 4- 3 7pts
away :
1. Dinamo_Mn 6 (5 0 1 ) 13-5 15pts , best away record in the league,

top of the league:
1. Torpedo_Zh 10 7 1 2 20 - 9 22
2. Dinamo_Mn 10 7 1 2 17 - 8 22
3. Torpedo-SKA 10 7 1 2 17 - 10 22
4. BATE 10 6 2 2 19 - 14 20

Intertoto:a blessing or a curse. participation in the Intertoto Cup involves lots of travelling/spending, and for clubs with tight budget like Odra it might be killing. fair enough if you want to reach as far as possible , but if you want to drop out -you do it in the first round. Odra's last year's results showed their attitude towards Intertoto(odds in the brackets):
Shamrock Rovers Odra Wodzislaw 1:0 (2.31 3.21 2.60) Sun 29-06-2003
Odra Wodzislaw Shamrock Rovers 1:2 (1.33 4.19 7.12) Sat 21-06-2003

on one side we have totally unmotivated Odra players who atm think of their holidays and future contracts at other clubs.
on the other fresh legs with solid away record. the choice is simple.

take Dinamo Minsk@3 or more

Cork available at around 4/1 for this one.

Malmö announce line-up for City game
Malmö FF, who arrived at Cork Airport this morning without captain Patrik Andersson, Mattias Asper, Olof Persson and Jon-Inge Höiland among others, last night announced their starting eleven to face Cork City on Saturday (see below).
The Swedes arrive on the back of a 6-1 win over Örebro SK last night, with striker Niklas Skoog scoring a hat-trick. 300,000 Swiss Francs (€198,477) of UEFA prize money awaits the winner of Saturday’s game at Turner’s Cross, for which tickets are still available.
Malmö:
Goalkeeper: Joel Ringström
Defenders: Daniel Majstorovic, Olof Persson, Glenn Holgersson
Midfielders: Hasse Mattisson, Afonso Alves, Thomas Olsson, Tobias Grahn, Joseph Elanga
Forwards: Niklas Skoog, Behrang Safari.

Subs: Joakim Moberg (GK), Johan Guiomar Nilsson, Thommie Persson, Tobias Nilsson, Louay Chanko, Marcus Pode, Darko Lukanovic.

-----------------------

Still havent decided if I'll have a bet on the game but there's opinions to be had HERE

Having had a read on the forum I linked to I feel Malmo are worth a bet. The Cork fans don't think they can do it and apparently Malmo are playing a strong eleven. 1.77 available on betfair.

Hi
Odense take on part timers from N Ireland Ballymena Utd.
Ballymena face a tough task their season has not started yet and they travel with a new manager and less a number of first team players who are on holiday:b
Odense have recently ended their league and in the words of the Ballymena manager, "The team we are playing are no mugs. You find that a lot of these sides are tall and athletic and super fit and their season has just come to an end, so they will be at the peak of their fitness so it will be tough for us"
Odense have to be bankers here currently 1.20 Betfair
Good Luck

Esbjerg 3 - 1 Runavik :b


Yes the price wasn't that great on this one but at odds of 1.16 @Betfair, it was still a fair price in my view..:b

I saw 3-0 also on bbc vidiprinter but livescore says 3-1.

FT Esbjerg [3 - 1] NSI Runavik
47' [1 - 0] J. Thorup
50' [1 - 1] I. Højgaard
53' [2 - 1] S. Barslund
70' [3 - 1] J. Lucena

yep indeed you're right Irish TW, I have changed it in my post aswell..the score I posted came from a Danish site so I thought it was correct:b

About finnish teams Tampere Utd and MyPa, which have an Intertoto match today: to be honest I have no idea :P Because I cannot do any comparsion to a team that is from Luxembourg, there could be players from Holland or France or Germany and it's just impossible to say. Same thing with MyPa. I know their strength in Veikkausliiga but the opponents are so unknown that it's impossible to predict anything.

If I'd have to guess I'd say Tampere Utd will play and under game again, something like 0-0, 0-1, 1-1 and MyPa will be in troubles against Zlin.

Cork 3-1 Malmo.
Great result for Cork and for Irish soccer but unfortunately doesn't say much for my tipping ability.
Apologies to anyone who backed them. Maybe Malmo are not taking this comp. very seriously.

[Marek76]

FT Odra-Dinamo 1-0 ...
very surprising result to be honest. one thing that determined the game was constantly pouring rain hence a very heavy ground which did not help better skilled guests. they had a lot of chances in the first half including hitting a post... right after Odra scored from the free kick against the flow of the game... Odra's goalie was the MOTM...
feel sorry for everyone who backed Dinamo. if it makes you feel better, their defeat hit my pocket hard, really hard...

When was the last time that teams from Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales were unbeaten in Europe on the same day? I'm not looking for an answer but just showing how unpredictable these games are at this time of year.
