Футбол. Лига Чемпионов

Спартак – Селтик. Лига Чемпионов возвращается в Москву! В гости к «Спартаку» пожалует один из двухMcGeady downed 1 300x234 Ставки на матч Спартак Селтик! старейших клубов Шотландии, к сожалению его старинный  «заклятый враг» «Рейнджерс» сейчас «обитает» в четвертом шотландском дивизионе, и «Кельты» явно скучают по своим соседям.

В сегодняшнем матче не сможет принять участие Андрей Дикань, голкипер «красно-белых» получил травму плечевого сустава в прошедшем матче с «Амкаром». По предварительным данным он не сможет помочь своей команде в течение ближайшего месяца. Я бы назвал такую потерю на старте Лиги Чемпионов, как «нож в спину», а за этот месяц может случиться очень многое.

Место на последнем рубеже займет молодой голкипер «красно-белых» Сергей Письяков, от того, как он справится с волнением зависит судьба этого матча. Хотя если подумать, то 23 года – это не так и мало, пускай и для вратаря. Тем более если вспомнить, что Игорь Акинфеев в свое время дебютировал в возрасте 17 лет за ЦСКА, то дебют пускай в Лиге Чемпионов в 23 не выглядит чем-то сверхъестественным.

Я практически уверен, что в этой группе все будет решаться в последних турах, да даже думаю в самом последнем, так как «Барселона» наверняка одержит 4 победы на старте, а вот дальше может выставить и резервный состав. Если это будет так, то у «Спартака» 1.55 появятся шансы, тем более играя с «Барсой» на собственном поле.

«Селтик» 6.25 в свою очередь, сыграл вничью с «Бенфикой» – этот результат очень устроил «спартаковцев». Положительным фактором является и то, что в матче сможет принять участие Велиттон, который получил травму еще в матче с «Тереком».

С учетом проблем «Спартака» в обороне он наверняка пропустит мяч, но мы хорошо знаем о не самом хорошем умении шотландцев играть на выезде. Таким образом, очень вероятна результативная победа «Спартака» на своем поле. Если бы в воротах был Дикань, то в этом можно было почти не сомневаться в победе «красно-белых», а так… есть небольшие сомнения.

Чем бы не закончился матч, все самое интересное в этой группе будет впереди.

Mixed fortunes for Brits

Posted on by
Reply

The Champions League resumes on Tuesday with three British clubs in action, as Manchester United (9/1 – Champions League outright) face CFR Cluj, Chelsea meet FC Nordsjaelland and Celtic travel to Russia to take on Spartak Moscow.

After last season’s European disappointment, United struggled through their opening group match against Galatasary and cannot afford to be complacent when they head to Romania to meet Cluj (9/2, draw 11/4, United 4/6).

Ione Andone’s men also won their first match of the tournament away at Braga and have now become regulars in Europe after making their debut in 2008.

United themselves have something to prove going into the game, having lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham on Saturday, a result that has prompted Sir Alex Ferguson to drop a number of his more established figures for the trip to Transylvania.

The exclusions could see the veteran coach experiment with some of the talented youngsters that impressed in the League Cup against Newcastle, so don’t be surprised to see a few unfamiliar names on the United teamsheet.

This has all the hallmarks of a banana skin but United should have enough experience to see them through, but they won’t have it all their own way.

In the second game which sees a British team in action, champions Chelsea travel to Denmark to face one of the unknown quantities of the tournament in FC Nordsjaelland (10/1, draw 7/2, Chelsea 4/11).

The Blues almost got off to the perfect start as they took an early lead in their first game against Juventus before being pegged back by the Italian giants as the tie finished 2-2.

This has put them under some early pressure, with Shakhtar Donetsk also in the group, but they’ll look at their trip to Scandinavia as the chance to claim an easy three points.

However, facing the champions of Europe is a massive opportunity for any side and having won their domestic league last season, Kasper Hjulmand’s men will be looking to cause what would be a massive upset.

Like the first game, things certainly won’t be easy for the Blues but their greater experience should see them though and so expect them to claim a comfortable win.

The final game involving a British team sees possibly the toughest test as Celtic travel to Russia to face Spartak Moscow (4/7, draw 3/1, Celtic 11/2).

The Bhoys made a solid start to their European campaign with a goalless draw against Benfica a fortnight ago, but a trip to Russia is always a tough test and you never quite know what threat the opposition will pose.

Neil Lennon’s men will meet a familiar face at the Luzhniki in winger Aiden McGeady, who ironically was the man who scored the winner the last time Celtic won a game in the Champions League.

After dominating Russian football during the 1990s, Spartak have had a difficult few years both on and off the field but Unai Emery’s appointment in the summer has brought freshness to the club and they could be the surprise package of this group.

This is likely to be a cagey affair but despite Celtic’s confidence in the build-up to the match Spartak’s extra class should see them to an easy win.

Battle of the Whites

Tuesday night will see another exciting round of action in the Championship and Bolton Wanderers will be hoping they can come on top in the ‘Roses’ clash when they face Leeds United at the Reebok Stadium (Bolton Evs draw 12/5 Leeds 11/4 – Match Betting).

It has not been an easy start to life in the Championship for under-pressure manager Owen Coyle and his players have found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreline in a number of tight encounters.

Bolton – 18th place in the table – suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend and will be desperate to bag the three points against a Leeds side who will head to the Reebok Stadium full of confidence.

The West Yorkshire outfit beat Nottingham Forest and Bristol City in the Championship and saw off Everton in the Capital One Cup, in what was a successful week for manager Neil Warnock and his men.

Striker El-Hadji Diouf has been a revelation since making the move to Elland Road and he will certainly be a threat once again.

Bolton have plenty of talent in their ranks and between two pretty evenly matched sides this Lancashire-Yorkshire derby might well finish with the points shared.

Cardiff City have started to emerge as a strong force in the push for promotion and they will be looking to keep up their winning momentum when they face Birmingham City (Cardiff 10/11 draw 5/2 Birmingham 3/1 – Match Betting).

With four wins in their last five game in the Championship, the Bluebirds are looking strong under manager Malky Mackay.

Cardiff have won all four of their home games this season and will once again be formidable opposition against a Blues outfit struggling to live up to expectations this season.

Injuries have plagued manager Lee Clark and his squad at St Andrew’s but they managed to battle for a 1-0 draw against Brighton on the South Coast.

They will need a similarly gritty performance to get a result in the Welsh capital but the Bluebirds should have enough quality to get the three points.

In another standout game on Tuesday, Hull City will be looking to bounce back from their surprising defeat to Peterborough United when they face Blackpool at the KC Stadium (Hull 11/8 draw 12/5 Blackpool 15/8 – Match Betting).

The Tigers looked in fine form but have come unstuck in their last two outings, with Leicester City and strugglers Peterborough getting the better of manager Steve Bruce and his men.

Blackpool have also gone off the boil in their last two outings with heavy defeats at the hands of Huddersfield Town and Cardiff.

This game will really be about which side can put their recent disappointments behind them when they line-up on Tuesday night.

Both teams have match winners but the Tangerines, with the likes of Tom Ince and Gary Taylor-Fletcher, could edge this one over the Tigers.

BATE bid to pinch Bayern

Posted on by

BATE Borisov are available at a huge price of 8/1 to build on their impressive away victory over Lille in the opening round of fixtures and beat Bayern Munich, priced up 4/11 to win, when the two sides clash in the Champions League in Belarus on Tuesday (totesport – match prices).

The Belarussian champions stunned their French hosts on Match-day 1 with an accomplished performance to get their European Group F campaign off to the perfect start.

Bayern, meanwhile, were far from convincing in victory over Valencia in their opening game, and they could find it tough in Eastern Europe.

A draw price of 4/1 offers value for this encounter, but, at 8/1, and with wind behind their sails, BATE Borisov are worth consideration.

Elsewhere, Benfica will be looking to cause an upset against their Iberian rivals when Barcelona visit the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday.

The Portuguese side earned a draw at Celtic Park on Match-day 1 and will fancy their chances of recording a first victory in Group G in their first match of the campaign on home soil.

Benfica are priced at 5/1 to win this one, with the draw quoted at 16/5, and Barca the overwhelming favourites to make it two wins from two, at 4/7.

It’s difficult to see past a win for the Catalan giants in this one, but if Benfica can get off to a quick start then Tito Vilanova’s men may be happy to settle for the draw.

Elsewhere, there’s an intriguing tie in Turkey as Benfica’s Portuguese rivals Braga travel to face Galatasaray.

An intimidating trip at the best of times, the hosts are the 10/11 favourites to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford and earn the win they need to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

Braga head into the game following an embarrassing home defeat to Cluj, but despite odds of 10/3, it is difficult to imagine the visitors coming away from the Turk Telekom cauldron with three points.

The draw, available at 5/2, may appeal, but 10/11 on Galatasaray to win is where the value lies for this encounter.

Two giants of European football go head to head in Holland on Wednesday, meanwhile, as Ajax welcome Real Madrid to the Amsterdam Arena.

Though Ajax are not the force they once were, this tie carries plenty of significance for the Dutch outfit and, at a price of 7/1 to win the game, they are pretty backable.

A narrow defeat to Dortmund ensured a pointless start to Ajax’s European campaign, and three points against Real would be greeted with euphoria by the home supporters.

At 4/9, Real are the overwhelming favourites for this one, but it could be a lot closer than many experts reckon, and, with the draw available at 7/2, this is another clash that offers plenty of value for money for punters.

We round things off with Porto’s game against PSG in Group A, where Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to make another strong statement following their 4-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev in their opening fixture.

And, at a price of 9/4 to make it two from two, a victory for the team from the French capital could prove lucrative for punters prepared to put their faith in Europe’s definitive ‘pretenders to the throne’.

Hoops to claim vital win

Posted on by

The weekend’s Premier League action climaxes on Monday with a London derby between Queens Park Rangers and West Ham (Match Betting – QPR 11/10, draw 12/5, West Ham 11/4).

After previously being stalwarts of the top flight in years gone by, the two sides haven’t met since 2004 and you can be certain that both teams will be desperate to get one over on their local rivals.

After making eleven new signings in the summer QPR have struggled to gel, taking just two points from their opening five league games, and are now bottom of the table following Reading’s draw on Saturday.

Furthermore they’re currently in the midst of somewhat of an injury crisis, most notably in defence, where three of their first-choice back four are currently out of action.

However, they do have plenty of talent in both midfield and attack and the return of Alejandro Faurlin has undoubtedly made a massive difference to the side.

However, it’s former Hammer Bobby Zamora (11/8 to score at anytime) who is most likely to be their key man on Monday and he’ll be desperate to prove he can still mix it in the Premier League, after a largely disappointing time since moving to Loftus Road in January.

With West Ham struggling to defend crosses this season, Zamora will fancy himself to get on the scoresheet for what would be his fifth goal of the season.

In contrast to their rivals, Sam Allardyce’s men have made a solid start to their return to the top flight, taking eight points from their first five matches to leave them tenth.

However, after a fairly straightforward start to the campaign this is one of their last easy games before they meet some of the big boys and they will be targeting three points on Monday.

One of their problems this season has been scoring goals, an issue that has been magnified by the injury to Andy Carroll and, with Carlton Cole looking out of form so far this term, even more responsibility has fallen on captain Kevin Nolan (5/2 to score at anytime).

Despite not being a favourite amongst the fans, the veteran is always reliable when the Hammers need a goal – a quality that more than makes up for his lack of mobility. His ability to drift into the box can often prove priceless and he’ll be looking to catch the makeshift Hoops backline napping.

But, with so much quality going forward its surely only a matter of time before the QPR find their feet and they could just sneak this one (QPR 8/1 to win 2-1).

Mallorca aim to hit new heights

Posted on by

Real Mallorca will attempt to make history with a fourth win of their Primera Division campaign when they travel to lowly Getafe on Monday evening.

Joaquin Caparros’ side have already equalled their highest-ever points total after five top-flight games with three wins and two draws and will look to make it their best start with three points at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Despite their strong start they are not considered favourites to win the match at 21/10 in the 90 Minutes market, while Getafe can be backed at 6/5 to secure only their second La Liga win of the campaign.

It is clear that Mallorca’s success so far this season has been based around their strong defensive play, emphasised by the fact they have only managed to score seven goals to date, two of which came in their 2-0 win against Valencia last time out, while conceding just three.

Caparros, who is again set to be without Giovani dos Santos, Javi Marquez and Alvaro, will hope his back-line again come up trumps on Monday.

Getafe are languishing down in 17th position, although they have had a difficult start to the campaign with games against the likes of Sevilla and Barcelona, while their only win came against local rivals and reigning champions Real Madrid.

Therefore, Luis Garcia’s side are capable of producing the goods, but the coach has warned against conceding more sloppy goals with ten already shipped in their opening five matches.

Getafe will also be without Alexis Ruano, who begins a two-game ban after his dismissal in the defeat to Celta Vigo last time out.

History is just siding with Mallorca as the Islanders have won ten out of their 20 fixtures, compared to Getafe who have won seven, which again points to a tight game in store.

With Mallorca stingy at the back this game could well be decided by a momentary lapse in the Getafe defence as they are a side which are noted for the scoring abilities with just six on the board to date, so a 1-0 win for the visitors could be worth noting at 15/2 in the Correct Score market.

But we feel a tight game will be reflected in the outcome and both sides should have enough in the tank to collect a hard-earned point from this head-to-head.

Prediction: Draw 90 Minutes @ 12/5

Value Bet: 0-0 Correct Score @ 15/2

Ставки на матч «Реал Мадрид» – «Депортиво»!

Футбол. Чемпионат Испании. Примера

Реал Мадрид – Депортиво. Вы знаете после вчерашнего матча «Барселоны» у многих команды, которые преследуютBenzema Ronaldo diMaria 1 226x300 Ставки на матч Реал Мадрид Депортиво! «гранатово-синих» явно «опустятся руки»… ну казалось бы, проигрывать на чужом поле со счетом 2:0 к 48-й минуте, что может быть хуже? Но нет, если у вас в составе есть Сеск Фабрегас, Давид Вилья и Лионель Месси, то вам как говорится «И невозможно возможно!», «Барса» одержала 6-ю победу из шести возможных на старте этого чемпионата, так что «Реал» теперь обязан побеждать в своей встрече. Тем более, что уже в следующем туре «мадридисты» будут играть со все той же «Барселоной»!

Да-да нас будет ждать «Эль Классико»! С весьма занятной магией чисел, матч пройдет 7-ого числа в 7-м туре и «Барса» сможет одержать 7-ю победу в 7-ми матчах. Но пока не будем забегать вперед. Хотя, если честно, то сегодняшний матч не должен вызвать много проблем у подопечных Моуринью. Ну, посудите сами, «Депор» только что вернулся из Сегунды, что уже не добавляет оптимизма. Лично у меня в памяти всплывает матч двухлетней давности, который закончился со счетом 6:1 в пользу мадридского «Реала» 1.15, и я не буду сильно удивлен, если в этом матче случиться нечто подобное. За исход этой игры можно почти не сомневаться, вопрос только в том, сколько голов влетит в ворота «Депортиво» 15.00.

Жозе Моуринью заявил, что «Реалу» необходима не просто победа в ближайшем матче, а целая серия побед. По словам португальского наставника, ситуация, в которой «Мадриду» нечего терять может раскрепостить его подопечных, и они добьются чего хотят.

По большому счету расчет Жозе вполне понятен – надо выиграть сегодня и победить в «Эль Классико». При таком раскладе событий отрыв от «гранатово-синих» станет совершенно «не смертельным». В случае ближайших двух побед подряд ( и соответственно поражении «Барсы») после седьмого тура отрыв от первого места будет равняться 5 очкам, а это уже вполне отыгрываемая разница.

Но пока все это теория, для начала «Реал» должен переиграть сегодня некогда сильный «Депортиво»!

Forest out to put down Rams

Posted on by
Reply

The Championship action continues on Sunday with the East Midlands grudge match between Nottingham Forest and Derby at the City Ground (Forest 10/11, draw 5/2, Derby 3/1).

Recent clashes between these two have always produced fireworks and with so much local pride at stake, it’s sure to be an absolute cracker.

After an uncertain summer following their takeover by the Al-Hasawi family, Forest have struggled to gel due to the influx of new players and go into the game on a run of seven matches without a win.

This has been partly down to the appointment of boss Sean O’Driscoll, who has tried to introduce a new footballing philosophy at the club, following years of long-ball tactics under the likes of Billy Davies and Steve Cotterill.

However, it’s surely only a matter of time before they start putting some points on the board and one look at their squad shows you that they have plenty of quality within their ranks.

Most notable of these is attacking midfielder Lewis McGugan (9/4 to score at anytime), who has long been seen as a potential Premier League star without anyone ever taking a chance on him.

The 23-year-old is now a major part of the Forest line-up and has been one of the rare bright spots in an otherwise disappointing campaign.

He is also one of few local boys involved in the game and will be desperate to show his ability on Sunday.

After once again starting the season with high hopes, Derby have struggled this term as the lack of finances at the club have once again hampered Nigel Clough from adding true quality to his squad.

The lack of strength in depth has forced the Rams’ boss to utilise the club’s excellent youth players in a number of games and he’ll be looking to tap into his youngsters’ passion for the game at the City Ground.

He can also try to inspire his side with the memory of their miraculous win at Forest last year, where they upset the odds to win 2-1, despite being reduced to ten men after just two minutes.

One of the heroes of that match was Jamie Ward (5/2 to score at anytime) who after years of showing signs of potential, appears to have come of age this year and has even become a regular in the Northern Ireland team.

Ward thrives on pressure and will be looking to use his pace to try and get in behind the Forest rear guard.

This one is sure to be a classic local derby with two teams who will do anything to beat each other.

However, home advantage often plays a massive role in the outcome of these games and the extra class in the Forest side should see them through (Forest 7/1 to win 2-1).

Севилья – Барселона. Онлайн-трансляцию этого матча вы можете наблюдать на нашем сайте, для этого вамMessi scored 1 300x222 Онлайн трансляция матча Севилья Барселона! достаточно просто зарегистрироваться!

Стартовый этап у футболистов «Севильи» 5.00 выдается не из легких, еще несколько туров назад к ним приезжал мадридский «Реал», а сейчас им предстоит встретиться с «Барселоной». Я думаю, что любителям испанского футбола не нужно напоминать, что во встрече со «сливочными» андалусийсцы праздновали победу. Я уверен, что и в этом матче они не откажутся огорчить лидера чемпионата.

«Барселона» подходит к этому матчу, имея 100% показатель в графе набранных очков! Я конечно понимаю, что болельщики «гранатово-синих» не отказались бы, чтобы и к концу чемпионата их любимцы обладали бы такой статистикой, но такое практически невозможно. Я бы даже не исключил, что первые очковые потери могут произойти уже сегодня, но не будем забегать вперед.

Андрес Иньеста только недавно приступил к тренировкам в общей группе, так что о его выходе на поле не может быть и речи, а это безусловно не дает Тито Виланове использовать всю барселонскую мощь. На мой взгляд, пара Иньеста – Хави имеет даже большее значение для команды, чем «великий и ужасный» Месси.  Ну а то, что в матче не примут участие Пике и Пуйоль, было известно уже давно.

Тренер «Севильи» Мичел Гонсалес думает, что для победы над «Барселоной» его команде потребуется больше усилий чем в в матче с «Реалом». Его подопечный Иван Ракитич уверен в своих силах и заявил, что ему и его партнерам по силам переиграть «Барсу» 1.62! Хорват очень надеется на поддержку своих трибун и желает, чтобы они заполнились полностью.

Я в свою очередь хочу заметить, что после длительной победной серии всегда следует спад. «Барселона» прекрасно провела последний месяц, но уже во встрече со «Спартаком» у каталонцев были определенные проблемы. В матче с «Гранадой» «сине-гранатовые» только на последних минутах смогли вырвать победу. В сегодняшнем матче «Севилья» точно даст бой, и как я думаю, сможет «разжиться» как минимум одним очком!

Villa can take bragging rights

Posted on by
Reply

There is just one Premier League fixture on Sunday but there is plenty at stake in a West Midlands derby as Aston Villa host a West Bromwich Albion side riding high in the Premier League.

There are of course bigger rivals for the clubs in Birmingham City and Wolves but there will be no lack of intensity and commitment on Sunday afternoon as the players look to give the fans the bragging rights.

Both sides of course began the campaign with new managers, with Villa turning to Paul Lambert to turn things around after the dire reign of Alex McLeish, while the Baggies have turned to Steve Clarke after Roy Hodgson was appointed as the new England boss.

There is no doubt that Clarke has enjoyed the better of the starts with three wins already under his belt as the Baggies sit pretty in fourth place in the table, while Villa have won just once in the league this term and find themselves in 14th place on four points.

However, Villa can only have been boosted by a fantastic win at Manchester City in the Capital One Cup in midweek and they have been installed as 6/4 favourites in the match betting, with Albion priced at 2/1 while the draw is on offer at 9/4.

True, West Brom have won three times this season but all three victories have come at the Hawthorns and Clarke’s men were soundly beaten 3-0 by Fulham the last time on their travels.

Villa have looked far from convincing this season, beating Swansea well in their only win in the league but crumbling to a 4-1 defeat at Southampton the week after despite taking the lead.

However, that victory over City could be the catalyst that Lambert was looking for and Gabriel Agbonlahor showed he is fully recovered from the knee injury sustained in pre-season.

The 25-year-old bagged two goals in an impressive performance at the Etihad and is available at 13/2 as First/Last Goalscorer, although whether he has done enough to earn a start remains to be seen, with 7/4 on offer as an Anytime Scorer.

Darren Bent (5/1 First/Last and 11/8 Anytime) and Christian Benteke (6/1 and 13/8) have been the preferred strikers so far but may now be anxiously looking over their shoulders.

Competition for places has got to be a good thing though and could well work in Lambert’s favour whichever way he goes, although the Villa boss will be without Stephen Ireland and Joe Bennett, offset by the news Brett Holman has recovered from a knee problem.

West Brom are not without their own injury problems though as Liam Ridgewell, James Morrison, Steven Reid, Jermaine Thomas and Goran Popov are all doubtful, while Peter Odemwingie is definitely out as he completes his ban following his sending off against Fulham.

Villa are not the sort of side, not yet anyway, that seem ready to batter an opponent out of sight, regardless of the venue but, although West Brom can certainly give them a game, they should have the momentum going into this fixture to take the three points.

The Baggies go into this one on the back of being  beaten 2-1 by Liverpool at the Hawthorns in the Capital One Cup, while their away form leaves a little to be desired.

However, they can at least get on the scoreboard and 2-1 has been a popular scoreline of late with five of the last six results ending that way – three times to Villa – and that is priced at a tempting 17/2.
