Thoughts

Fulham and Liverpool to not lose.

[Wilforth]

Fulham and Liverpool to not lose.

TBH, I like these:

Fulham +420
Atletico/Liverpool draw 230

[theplagy]

under 2.5 pool game

[minet123]

Cottagers +420
I been on them this far why get off

[nulldah]

well, anyone can say this coach journey have nothing to do with players. but we already saw what happened to mighty barca n lyon at champions league. now, liverpool n fulham are exactly at same spot. I havent search how long their travel took, but regardless, they will likely to feel affected later.

[Giuvara]

Spot on! I also like the looks of the away teams today, or better said I don't like how the home teams have played lately. I am looking into Fulham and Liverpool not to lose.

[camel]

There's something about Fulham. They've done so well so far in the Europa League, i think i have to back them again.

Still thinking between +0.5 or Draw No Bet.

[tailmypicks]

fulham have dodged it too many times, hamburg will beat them now and an away draw for pool

[Wilforth]

TBH, I like these:

Fulham +420
Atletico/Liverpool draw 230

May not work. Travel fatigue!!!

[nulldah]

here is the news:
fulham has better travel route than liverpool, at least.
they took 17 hours coach journey + 3 hour of traffic jam accident n arrived wednesday.
liverpool took 1200 miles from runcorn-london-paris-bordeaux on tuesday n arrived wednesday. the rafa pre-match conference even took place on the train. talking bout bad luck that has been on this club from the start of the season

unless hamburg n atletico show below par performance as they often showed in the league, it will be really difficult for english teams not to lose.

Wednesday - which time zone?

As in yesterday or today?

Wednesday - which time zone? As in yesterday or today?

[rfr3sh]

Still liking Fulham though.

[pouroupoupou]

home wins

[ararat2010]

Hamburg win, Pool is difficult, the only I can say - Pool will qualify ))

[zlate22]

atletico wins

[mygooglik]

Fulham will score

[napalmrain]

Fulham wins.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Tough matches, i say Liverpool over and Fulham under.

[Ace_of_Spades]

atletico wins

Aguero will not be playing, Atletico are screwed. Liverpool are without Torres, but they still have the players to do the job and Rafa is a master against Spanish teams. Plus Atletico are just woeful, not to mention their defense

[Czu81]

atletico wins

This. Almost everyone says Liverpool, Atl Madrid will win tonight!

[Czu81]

Atletico can score more goals at home 2-1...

[Smogs]

I strongly believe both home teams win tonight

Liverpool are going to have no goal threat except set pieces, N'gog is shite, Kuyt is out of position, i just think they'll lose 2-1

Fulham have been an obvious money train, but Hamburg at home....in the host stadium, come on. This has a 2-0 written all over it. And i know how bad Hamburg have been domestically, all the more reason to win this

And Nistelrooy loves scoring against Fulham

[Ace_of_Spades]

Atletico can score more goals at home 2-1...

Who will score? Forlan, he is crap.

[Czu81]

Who will score? Forlan, he is crap.

Reyes, Jurado and Simao can score if he is not.

[menang8]

Aletico! Yes!

[fixxer]

Hamburg will win

The tired, and relatively old squad of Fulham had to travel a lot via bus, as they cannot fly cause of the flying ban in Europe...the same will happen with them what happened to Barca....had to travel a lot by bus, and this is a big advantage for the home team....not to mention, Hamburg haven't lost a single game in the EL this year

[infamousbacardi]

Perhaps the best value of the day in general in Atl Madrid v Liverpool OVER. 7 of pool's last 9 in all comps have been over 2.5, and Atletico i similar in that number...odds favor the under, but great value on the OVER in this one...I pulled the trigger and put a unit on it.

[blackf1re]

Atletico -0.25 @ 2.10


Staying away from the other match.

[phenomenon]

I ll bet on halftime X for both matches...
They will be controlled, 2 english teams are away and they will try to take their chances to their home,and make more defence also it is hard to score premier league teams when they are away.

I'm trying to find out what coaches the teams traveled on, there are coaches that are so spacious and comfortable than the length or distance wouldn't matter but there are some that are so crap that even after a journey of a few hours you would feel like you just went through the wars. Trust me, I've experienced both and been across a much longer distance
