[Champions League Qualis] Ventspils +1 [-130]
Ventspils is @ home and in a big hole against Molde, 0-3. I don't think anyone expects them to overturn this, but I do expect that Molde is going to be quite content to play some fairly safe futbol today with the big lead. Both teams are balancing this competition with their domestic campaign & while Ventspils is fielding an identical side to the 1st leg - Molde has taken the opportunity to rotate their squad a bit. Ventspils did battle Molde well in the 1st leg on the road, holding them off until the 2nd half when Molde netted in the 53rd minute. They would add a PK goal and a goal in the last ten minutes. Molde looked a bit fatigued in their league match over the weekend which is why I would expect them to be content to work a draw or even a narrow loss that wouldn't douse their advancement to the next round. Even if Ventspils does drop this match, I think @ home they give a solid effort and don't lose by more than a goal.
