    (UEFA) Does any underdogs have a shot of qualifying

    Pinny


    Tottenham Hotspur 3.830 (+283)
    Schalke 04 3.640 (+264)
    Shakhtar Donetsk 7.050 (+605)



    I dont think Shakhtar hold any value at 605.
    Though I'd like to see Tottenham advance, whether or not they do is another story.
    I also don't think they have enough to match Real.

    Schalke is the one I'm looking closely at..

    what do you guys think?

    Spurs are going to take care of Real Madrid.

    Spurs are f'ed since Mourinho's main objective this year is the CL. Shaktar will be honored to be knocked out by Barca. Schalke has the best chance, they are a more solid club than Bayern meaning they know how to park the bus. If they get a win at home I think they can pull it off defensively at San Siro.

    None of them have a chance imo, Spurs have the best shot but would require a 2 goal win at home easily t even have a shot at the bernabeu

    Madrid has been deadly away home from in the CL, I think Spurs are the ones in danger of losing 2-0 in London.

    Schalke has the most chance and Tott/Shakhtar will not lose at home, especially Shakhtar.

    i know shakhtar are unbeaten at donbass stadium but it won't be a difficult task for barca if they are determined to end the streak. If the first leg ends up as a score draw at nou camp, I am confident that barcelona will go to ukraine and win shaktar

    there are other factors to consider as well.

    If anyone so Schalke maybe! But if Snajder and Etoo are on a good night so bye bye Schalke.

    Schakthar less chances that all the rest IMO.

    Spurs only if they get a decent result on Madrid. A draw or a 1-0 loss. If Madrid takes the lead by 2 or more goals so game over for Spurs.

    Don't think any of them will advance tbh, but I think Schalke has the best chance of them to keep it close in the away game. If they do you could always hedge with Inter to advance for the return.

    Spurs have no chance, Jose is too good for them... Schalke on the other hand could upset inter.

    Betting man utd vs Chelsea isn't smart, at all, because it's the most 50/50 I've seen in a while...

    I personally think Chelsea team is built more for this tournament (2-legs round) than the League. Therefore, they advance in a tight one. (1-1 at old trafford and, 0-0 at home)

    Guys keep in mind there is a reason why prestigious teams usually get the job done against underdogs. The billionaires who invest their money into clubs like City, Chelsea, Madrid etc... do it because they primarily want the CL trophy. Why do you think Liverpool and Man City played so crap in the Europa? They are more concerned with securing a CL spot in the EPL.

    Just come back when the round is over, thats all im saying.

    And please stop overestimating the affect a coach has on the result of a match like this. I have worked for 3 premiership clubs, 2 of top ones, observed the coaching and management staff on a day to day basis and i can tell you they are not the ones who will be the main influence/deciding factor in any match. In fact the MA staff are far more valuable, spurs have great people in that department.

    Jose is not a typical coach.
