lets start off with my lot cos u want to know my opinion apparently.
the last time I bet on blackpool at home I said it was almost a lock on it being an over, and u know the betting gods dont like that, there were 2 goals on a muddy pitch and Holloway admitted that for the first time this season they played for the point and not to chase the win.
He may employ similar tactics today, blackpool cant play as carefree with their precarious position in the EPL so the under could be a value play here especially if the pitch there is still muddy. I cant see tottenham losing on paper but these midweek matches up north are sometimes banana skins so i wouldnt advise anyone to put the mortgage on.
onto the CL and i'm not a fan of backing teams like copenhagen, they play in a part time mickey mouse league that shuts down for the winter in december. But you have to take on chelsea at the moment who are really wobbling, Ancelotti said he only had 3 players playing to their form yesterday which doesnt inspire confidence, chelsea have only won 2 out of 12 on the road in europe and the danes held barca to a draw in the group stages and will be noisy at home.
5-1 on them has gone but 9/2 is still very big, copenhagen +.5 and +1 are still at attractive odds.
In the other game, Madrid are looking to get past their bogey team in Lyon and get past this round for the first time in 9 years. There's no better tactician than mourinho and I can see him shutting up shop in frogland and then taking the escargots apart in espana, Under here and a small play on the draw, maybe even a small bet on 0-0.
more action weds! |
