[PTDSEI]

Vaduz v Longford, anyone got any info on this team? Having seen Longford lose to Bottom side Dublin city this weekend and having seen how p!ss awful they were Vaduz seem to be worth a bet.

Cheers

Yeah PTDSEI, was thinking of betting on Vaduz myself.
They've got 8 Liechtenstein internationals and are one of the best teams in the Swiss second division.
And unlike Longford, I'd say they score more than a goal every two games.

[Snowman]

And bear in mind that Vaduz are stronger than Liechtestein national squad, for the three other players that are not LIE internationals are Swiss. Mostly

And if Liechtenstein can hold England scoreless for 45 minutes imagine what a team better than them can do to Longford!

FC Haka v Etzella Ettelbruck
1 @ 1.15 Bets4all.com

Haka is on the first place in the Finnish league. They have a 8-4-2 record and scored 26 goals and got only 8 goals. Haka have in the league currently a good run – 11:1 goals and 3-1-0 record in the last 4 games. Etzella Ettelbruck plays in the lux. League – they ended the last season on the 3rd (only 12 teams). I think Haka will win this game against Ettelbruck and the Team from Luxembourg should have no chance against the Finnish team. It should be a banker. Good Luck!

Illichivets v Banants
Illichivets will start as a first "Euro" team from the Ukrainian side this season. I just want to remind that this team has qualified for UEFA cup due to their "fair play" status and some luck of draw for Ukraine in general. However they finished 6-th and have unbeaten in their last 8 matches with nice solid game performance. This fact makes them obvious favorite in this clash taking in account rather average results of Banants in their much lower Armenian league.

Illichivets has boosted by a large number of very class and technical players! All newcomers are ex-Shakhtar and ex-Metallurg D. (two very powerful teams in Ukrainian ranking) players: Shishchenko, Zubov, Zakarluka, Gleveckas, Cyhmeystruk, Gai, Yaksmanitsky. All above mentioned players have a solid experience in UEFA cups and you should believe me all of them are very good ones. I'm sure they'll make some noise this season in Europe having such type of players.

Haverfordwest v FH Hafnarfjordur Away 2.75

Please correct me if i am wrong, but the Welsh site Haverfordwest is said to be an amatuer team, and also the Welsh season have not startet yet, so they have no competetive matches in their legs. The Islandic team is a full time pro. team in the middle of their season. They are currently number 2. in the league. I think there is value in the 2.75.

Any opinions are most welcome

[runtcrab]

I live not far from Haverfordwest - and they are an amatuer club - the Welsh leaue is not the best as seen yesterday, where Rhyl were hammered 4-0.

Welsh league not started yet and so FH Hafnarfjordur may well be worth a punt on the 2.75.

BTW, its been raining here all morning so the pitch should be in a terrible state for football.

B68 Toftir - VK Ventspils
2 @ 1.50 Bets4all.com

B 68 Toftir is currently one of the worst teams in the Faroe Islands 1. Division. They have a record of only 1 win, 1 draw and 8 defeats. They lost against the first place HB Torshavn with 0-7. Ventspils is in on the third place in Lettland and I think they are clearly the better team and should win this game in Faroe Islands against such a poor-performing team like Toftir. Nice odd for Ventspils and I think they will win this game.

[Rumlesen]

Thanks Runtcrab, i am not concerned about the weather, i belive the islanders are used to that themselves

[PompeyPunt]

Just here to back up Zuzu's pick of VK Ventspils really

The team from the Faroe's are having real problems at the moment, bottom of the league infact. We saw at euro 2004 that the Latvians are more of a footballing nation than we thought, and they can only go on to improve as a nation as a whole.

The odds on this one are falling, and i'm taking max stakes before it is to late. Currently 1.44 at betfair.

Good luck all

Nice work chap Vaduz and Ventspils botrh win and my bets almost home!

Haverfordwest v FH Hafnarfjordur Away 2.75

FT 0-1

Happy to see my old team mate Allan Borgvart nick the winner.

Nice odds rumlesen...why did i not include.....

Akranes are now only 3-2 up so i still have more time to hold my breath..

You couldn't get Hafnarfjordur at 2.75 yesterday anywhere. That price was from earlier in the week. Well done to anyone who was on them at that price though...I had to settle for less.
