We’ve now have the opportunity to review the fixtures for the European Cup matches on Wednesday evening.
We start with group G in which Seville host Rangers. Seville have already qualified but need to win to ensure top spot. The match means nothing to Rangers — they don’t even have a sniff of Europa cup qualification as an incentive! Seville are very short priced and although we anticipate that they will win we leave them out of our selections. Unirea Urziceni are away to VfB Stuttgart. With Unirea on 8 points and Stuttgart on 6 this one could be a “battle to the death”. We anticipate that Stuttgart will have too much for Unirea and win to take the second qualifying place in the group, consigning Unirea to the Europa cup. We put them (Stuttgart) in our bet.
In group F Dynamo Kiev take on Barcelona. A point for Barcelona will guarantee qualification. All three points mean they would top the group. As far as Dynamo Kiev is concerned, a win could see them qualify, or achieve a Europa cup place, depending upon the result in the match between Inter Milan and Rubin Kazan. Inter and Rubin are tied on six points each. A draw may not be sufficient for either of them so both sides need to go for the win. We strongly support Inter to overcome Rubin and have no hesitation putting them in our bet. We’ll be leaving out the Barcelona/Dynamo Kiev fixture.
We then come to what we consider to be the most difficult fixture. Although Liverpool cannot qualify we anticipate that they will put up a solid at home to Fiorentina. We cannot call this one and leave them out. In the same group Lyon are at home to Debrecen. We can see absolutely no way that Lyon will lose this one. However, we anticipate that the odds will be very tight indeed. We will keep our eye on this but will probably leave them out as representing poor value.
This leaves us with group H where Olympiacos host Arsenal and Standard Liege are at home to AZ Alkmaar. Arsenal have qualified and are certain to take top spot in this group. Olympiacos require a draw to ensure second place on points. There’s no doubt that they will be playing for the win but may find Arsenal just too good. We have to leave them out. Standard Liege have a remote chance of qualification if they win and take a place in the last 32 of the Europa league if they draw. We are of the view that they will go for the win and put them in our bet.
We therefore have three selections for Wednesday’s round of matches — Stuttgart, Inter Milan and Standard Liège. We’ll be backing them in a trixie and look forward to raking in the cash! we aticipate that a £25 trixie will return around about £330 giving a profit of £230 for our £100 outlay.
