How's their offensive game?

I mean, if they are good at attacking, they should be able to score.

I think I'm gonna go for OVER.

BigBurk · 08-28-12, 12:59 AM

Twente will always score, especially in home games. And now, with the 3-1 loss at Bursa, they will have no option but to attack.

With Tadic, Bulykin, Castaignos, Fer it should be no problem to net at least 2 against Bursasport this Thursday.

Dinamo Moscow (UEFA-Europa) pk,+½ -128* vs VfB Stuttgart (UEFA-Europa) (1x)

I'm going to play Over 2.5 goals this match.

Seems solid!

Pretty satisfied with the half stakes win since Dinamo really didn't once seem to be heading to a good result. After the 0-1 I was sure it was over, but the gambling gods didn't want to **** me again. They save the ******* for the bigger plays!

I will be on Cluj pk tomorrow!

BigBurk · 08-28-12, 02:32 PM

Anderlecht totally controls this game and created lots of chances but it would not be a surprise to me if they don't manage to net one.

BigBurk · 08-28-12, 03:25 PM

Fully deserved A'lecht goal.

BHS · 08-28-12, 07:08 PM

PSV won first match 5-0

Are they going to put all the players for 2nd match? Because my bookie has under 3.5

BigBurk · 08-29-12, 12:19 AM

I have no idea! Have not read a thing about the PSV match yet (although I guess not since they face AZ the upcoming weekend).. Will keep you updated when I do!

Wednesday:

FC Cluj (UCL) pk -112* vs Basel (UCL) (2x)

Vaughany · 08-29-12, 04:46 AM

Interesting play...Basel aren't looking to good this season so is worth a pop

thelovefool · 08-29-12, 04:57 AM

That is a nice play considering Basel is not the same team they were last year. However, cluj have not played well this season either. GL though! I think you will cash it.

PSV is starting with a full squad of reserves!! Only one or two from their original line up from a week ago (Willems and Narsingh).

BigBurk · 08-29-12, 09:45 AM

Anybody knows why Cluj moved to pk +107(!!) with Basel at -122?! What happened?

in:extremis · 08-29-12, 10:59 AM

Not sure. Cluj and Basel are paying the same (2.50) on my book. Agree though with others that Basel not looking anywhere near as strong as last season.

Sporting Lisbon are a team to lay off for some time. I have a feeling Atletico Madrid as long as Falcao and Turan are playing are going to score plenty of goals and win plenty of games at home.

Good luck with Cluj. I am not on anything but would lean towards Fenerbache ml and the Dynamo Kiev Monchengladbach game over 2.5.

I mean, there has to be 4 goals in order for me to lose.

Are PSV deserves that good to score 4 against them?

BigBurk · 08-29-12, 11:43 AM

Doubtful! But never underestimate the will to prove themselfes to the public and coach.

But, with the 0-5 away victory and the players that will play, I really don't see 4-0 or more happen.. 2 or 3 to nil sounds about right.

Are you sure about full of reserves?

Now, they have Under 4

BigBurk · 08-30-12, 12:41 AM

Confirmed starters (quote Dick Advocaat):

Goal: Waterman (sub)
Defense: Manolev (sub), Derijck (sub), Jorgensen (sub), Willems (starter last week)
Midfield: Engelaar (sub), van Ooijen (sub), Wijnaldum (sub)
Attack: Narsingh (starter last week, but out of shape), Matavz (sub), Depay (sub)

Have not seen a single moment from the match, but that missed penalty certainly came in handy. Nice 2 unit win.

BigBurk · 08-30-12, 12:57 AM

5dimes is down for maintenance right now so have to wait a bit for the tonights EL games...

Thank you so much. I also played OVER for Twente - Bursa.

Bursa is full squad except Serdar Aziz which is the best defender in their squad. Bursa will score at least one in my opinion.

BigBurk · 08-30-12, 02:42 AM

No problem! Good luck on your plays tonight!

As I already said I have not been able to look at the lines yet due to 5dimes being down at the moment. But (if the lines allow me) I am eyeing AZ pk, Twente ML and maybe a play on Sparta Prague (depening on the line).

Wow, Twente ML is at -206. Juice is dripping out of my screen. Don't like the AZ pk, -½ play also.

Mheh. Need to do some research.

Edit.

Vaughany · 08-30-12, 04:29 AM

Twente/BursaOver 2.5 or Bursaspor to qualify are the plays with best value IMO

Vaughany · 08-30-12, 04:39 AM

Bursaspor have said they dont want to just sit back and defend...they also want to score...

"We are three years champion and subsequently built from there. Now we play and we want European Turkey Bursaspor and worthily represent "he told coach Saglam. Then he went into the tactics he has in mind for tomorrow. "FC Twente will be a goal not enough, but must be at least twice scoring. This need makes also our opportunities will arise. We want to hide tomorrow, when we go ninety minutes defending the chances are that we will not save. We will therefore continue to play our own game, in the same way as we have done in the home. It would be nice if we manage to score himself. "Asked about the surroundings and how his team will deal with it, Saglam is clear:" We must ensure that the atmosphere in the stadium will not affect us. When the fans of FC Twente there are succeed, it is clear that in our field something's not right. We must absolutely not let that happen. "

Thursday:

Heerenveen (UEFA-Europa) -110* vs Molde (UEFA-Europa) (1x)

Heerenveen takes on Molde tonight and I locked this play in earlier today and even posted it here (see the Edit. above), but somehow I changed my mind and wanted to hedge out, only to find out the game was taken of the board. When it re-entered the board just now the line changed to -½,-1 -113... On basis of the line movement I decided to play this one afterall...

Partizan Belgrade (UEFA-Europa) -129* vs Tromso IL (UEFA-Europa) (1x)

Genk (UEFA-Europa) -124* vs Luzern (UEFA-Europa) (1x)

Good luck tonight guys on which you may decide to play! Input on other matches is appreciated, as always!

onacloud · 08-30-12, 08:27 AM

You got Heerenveen at a amazing price! I also like the O2.5 in this game with ease

tttl · 08-30-12, 08:36 AM

hm, 1.9 for Heerenveen is really a nice pick, and now it is 1.7

Watch out with playing overs on Heerenveen. They went under three times in the Eredivisie (0-2 at home vs NEC, 1-1 at Feyenoord and 0-0 at AZ) and under 2 out of their three EL games (2-0 at Molde and 1-0 at Bucarest).

Thats exactly what he said. Turkish teams can't hold the score at all, they just dont know how to do defense. He knows it and he said we are going to attack when we get a chance. Plus, their best defense player is currently injured.

Over looks good to me.

Twente - Venlo

Its on Sunday. My booker has Twente for -233. But I looked at other bookers, it's more like -640.

My booker has the wrong odds? Is Twente def winning that match?
