My picks

[Les_Nuts]

Tony, nice job on the picks today, bad luck on Inter, I had a similar beat with Real the night before

What do you think of Valencia tomorrow? I think the -1.5 handicap looks a good play with Stoke fielding a weakened side - no Crouch, Shawcross, Walters etc

I also like Man Utd -1.5 vs Ajax and PSV as well

I look forward to reading your picks tomorrow, GL

Bonus parlay (nba/nhl), 3-0 since started posting: Mavericks ML/Ottawa +0.5 @ 2.21

loooooooooser, 3-1

I want to risk a bit tonight.
#1/Ath. Bilbao - Lokomotiv Moscow/TO2.5 @ 1.80/2U
#2/Ath. Bilbao - Lokomotiv Moscow/TO3.5 @ 2.95/1.25U
Knowing both teams pretty well, I can't imagine the 'under'. Both teams suck at defence, both teams will try to score as much as they can. Athletic's head coach Bielsa promised to 'destroy Lokomotiv', but Couceiro said yesterday, that Athletic will be surprised by Loko's offence. And I believe them both. Because that's how they play football. I won't be surprised to see even more than 5 or 6 goals, something like 4-2. With all that said, I can't guarantee anything

#3/Anderlecht - AZ/Both to score @ 1.79/1.5U
Anderlecht at home is a much better team. I remember them playing against Loko, when they used the same strategy - boring away game, but 5-3 win at home after that. Well, at least I hope it's their strategy.

#4/Olympiakos - Rubin/Rubin to score @ 1.72/1.5U
#5/PAOK - Udinese/PAOK to advance @ 2.20/1U

[TonyDimy]

also, do you think udinese win in toumba?

Nope, not without Di Natale

I'm not sure they even need Europa League. But if they do, PAOK should be able to beat them anyway in their current form.

[COLOR=#000000 !important] Where did you find Bilbao-Loko TO2.5 @1.80?[/color]

Marathonbet, 10bet, betfair...a few days ago this line was at 1.97, not it's at 1.78, I had it at 1.80 before I posted my picks

I'm tailing ur pick today, if you disappoint me again

again?

[karajohn13]

Thanks man. BTW I like your picks today(as almost always). Could you please spend some time and predict how Rubin's tactic will be tonight regarding the result of the first match? I know Russians are excellent in strategy, but without knowing Rubin's style I'm not sure if they will attack from the first minutes. And allow me, why do you prefer for this match Rubin to score and not BTS?

[TonyDimy]

And allow me, why do you prefer for this match Rubin to score and not BTS?

I'm well aware of Rubin's ability to keep their sheet clean. The thing about russians is that they are performing better when all the bridges are burned. Plus, they had an extra week to work on their physical conditions. I'm afraid of 0-1 and ET.

Actually, I think that Rubin of all russian teams has the best chances to advance to the next round. Even with home loss a week ago.

hey tony the zenith players are 10 meters away from me..want some autographs?

[TonyDimy]

find Roman Shirokov and kick him in the balls that would be great! Even though I like him as a football player...

Could you take a photo?

[Gndias]

i have to check google to find his face lool i am trying to get a jersey to get it signed eheh its not easy lots of security...they didn't let me watch the game they had here

[allin1]

Hey guys this is starting to look like a small soccer community nice

[Gndias]

[Gndias]

My picks are in place, but if you mean which favorite will get at easy win tonight, I'd say Schalke and Valencia. Not sure if Sporting's win is a safe bet, but they should advance in the next round. Sadly, but Bilbao will probably get an easy win too, I really like their football at the moment. Can't say the same about my Lokomotiv. But I'm sure Couceiro will think of something, he promised to surprise us.

It's really interesting, actually. The good thing about Loko's squad is that we have about 20+ players of the same quality. I'm sure Victor Obinna will play from the beginning because of Maicon's yellow cards. Caicedo is our only striker at the moment, so there's no question about him either. But other than that - it's almost impossible to say who is going to play tonight against Athletic. I hope Vladislav Ignatiev will be able to play, I really like this guy. He reminds me of Marat Izmailov, they have a lot in common (except injuries).

[ticklemepink]

Valencia and United for sure, I'm pounding this parlay

[Gndias]

already placed my bet on Sporting (God bless me today)

[allin1]

Schalke and Valencia it is then.

[TonyDimy]

Athletic is playing 2-5-3 scheme With Muniain and Susaeta in midfield it's like 2-3-5! And Loko's scheme isn't surprising at all, except Ozdoev will be playing with Tarasov in midfield as extra help for our defenders and Zapater with Denis Glushakov and Dmitriy Torbinskiy will be a little more agressive on the offense, helping our only striker Caicedo.

Go LOKO!

[Gndias]

good luck with Loko

[latinrus]

Bad way to start for PAOK.

[latinrus]

Well PAOK bet is dead IMO, they conceded 2 goals so they need 3 to advance!

[allin1]

Tony look at the bright side: Loko can get a draw an qualify

[latinrus]

Loko so far playing good defense.

[Gndias]

so far so good

[latinrus]

Not good for Loko, now they have to go forward and look for a goal!

Athletic has a red card and they score, I will never understand how those things happen, when a team is against the ropes, they go forward and score!

[allin1]

Bilbao left with 10men...

[Gndias]

damn man 2 goals with 10 men..

[latinrus]

damn man 2 goals with 10 men..

2 goals?

[Gndias]

man bet365 put on 2-0 and now its back to 1 sorry guys....not my fault

[Gndias]
