Chelsea had extremely tight schedule with 6 games in only 15 days and that's not something we should forget. Benitez wull have to pick those who are fit not best and that could make a big difference. They also miss two players for Demba Ba is ineligible for EL and young Romeu is injured. They are criticized on every corner, and that is because they play way under their capacity. First leg with Steaua and FA cup match with ManUtd prove that.
On the other hand Steaua is very inspired after last game and they come to Stanford Bridge without any issues. All key players are ready for this match and we can say that they already won domestic league title so this game is all they must think about.
If i had to i'd go for Steaua to qualify to next round at @2.50 ;)

On one hand we have
playmaker of Anderlecht, captain of Gent, and two excellent goalscorers from
Brugge and Standard Liege, on the other hand (in Cyprus team) we have „so called
stars“ from cyprus junior league. I think that there is no need to explain
things more detailed than this – Belgium has senior true stars in their team,
key players from big clubs and visitors have junior players who simply
shouldn't be any problem for strong Belgium side.

Norrkoping starded this year far better than Djurgardens.
In 4 games played so far (3 in Cup and 1 in championship) they've conceded only
one goal, and scored 8 in the process. Their great striker Thorvaldsson is in
good form and i expect him to cause many problems for the visiting side. Djurgardens
on the other hand is still in search for his best tactics, even line-up. A lots
of standard players left during winter and now they have to rebuild whole
game-plan over which will take some time. Their curent form is best shown last weekend
when they lost to Helsingborgs with 3:0.
After all Norrkoping is playing on artificial grass which
allways goes in favour of attacking and more agressive team – in my opinion
Norrkoping. Plus we shouldn't forget that these two played a friendly match a
month ago in which Norrkoping won 2:0. When i look all these factors seems like
this bet has very good value.

Lahti - Jaro Lahti team has been struck with some kind of virus and some of standard players won't be ready for this match but whats more important is that even if they were to be complete (as they will not) they are not in form lately. In last three matches they even didn't manage to score. Jaro was on the other hand one of main candidates for relegation this season but according to their play that is hard to believe. They had really tough schedule but they outplayed Helsinki like no one was able to in last couple of years, Inter also and they managed to be equal in game with Mariehamn. In most cases they are dominant team on the pitch but lack efficiency. In this particular game against Lahti I believe their fighting spirit will be enough because Lahti will be without some of standard players and the question is in what condition are those who can play after suffering from a virus. Bet: Handicap -0,5 Tip: 2 Odds: @1.86 (Pinnacle) BOL ;)

I simply don't know why
were the odds made like this, probably according to average of unders and overs
in this season, but things are here significantly different. Kuopio's defense
is extremely unstable, already twice this season they received a goal in 2nd
minute of the game and in the game like this those mistakes will repeat for
sure.
Inter knows that
defense is the weakest part of Kuopio (last game they won 6:0) and i believe
they will start here offensively which could lead to goals on both sides. Last
5 matches between these two brought 25 goal, 5 on each game. Best of all is
that both team have problems with injuries of key defensive players- Nissinen
and Hakanpaa are missing in Kuopio team (which is why their defense line is so
weak) while Inter cant rely on Turunen and Diallo.
Odds for over 2,5 goals
should not be more than 1.70-180 in this game so this bet has a value.

Spanish team likes to try and outplay their opponents, they prefer
attacking style but their defensive line with captain De Gea is also excellent.
In last nine qualification games they recieved only one goal and that gives
good picture on how hard it is to score against them.
Russians will have hard time in offensive part because their best
forward Kokorin is injured as well as key ofenssive players Dzagoev and Smolov.
This is the first match in group, Spain won't take too much risk and I expect
that Russians will have a lot of problems against spanish powerful midfield and
solid defense. Russians also had problems in the qualifiers – with almost all
key players on disposition they were unable to score against Albania and
Portugal.

Syrianska goes into this match with a lot of problems. Their form is far from ideal and they could not take advantage of the break for some sort of form improvement because most trainings were mostly done with half team because the rest of the players suffered from virus and had to replace pitch with bed due to fever. Although in principle they all now "ready" for the game, the question is how they are able to provide on the ground after being absent for so long and exhausted from illness. Also, the performance of their by far best player and game organizer Sharbel Touma are in doubt due to injury which is another serious blow to their ineffective offensive part of the game. Only a modest 8 goals in total scored so far, and against Malmo theyve never scored in five matches.
Malmo on the other hand needs to catch the leading Helsingborgs and can not afford a losing points here. Given that they are most effective visiting team with as many as 12 goals in six meetings with realization and scoring they obviously have no problem, especially not when standing in front of poorly organized defense like Syrianskas that is among the worst in the Allsvenskan. And yet the away coach said himself that Syrianska can sometimes provide resistance when playing at their best, but according to all the problems in this situation it will not be able to do so.
TIP: away team wins

Hey guys, been away for a while..now we'll keep these picks going on daily basis ;)
DUISBURG – HEIDENHEIM
10 days ago Duisburg didn’t know whether they will play this season in
the 3rd or 5th league. Altogether they have only 18
players on disposal and five of those never played a professional game in their
career. They had less than two weeks to prepare for new season which is
certainly not enough.
On the other hand Heidenheim is one of the favorites in this league.Their
squad is strengthened and motivated, and extra motivation comes from their
rival’s (Leipzig) victory over Halle because they don’t want to stay behind on
the very start of the league. Simply poor
condition and lower quality of Duisburg’s player wont be enough here for them
to take a point.
Bet: Heidenheim Wins
Tip: 2
Odds: @1.90

In just a
couple of months Sion went from one of the strongest to one of the weakest
teams in Superleague. Club owner is constantly interfering with squad setup,
and this season he changed almost the whole team. There are now only few
players in rooster who played for Sion last season. The biggest problem is that
new players never played together (before last week), they had less time to
prepare for new championship and communication between them on the pitch is
awful. Probably in couple of months they will be better but situation now is
complicated.
Last
weekend they were crushed by Young Boys and Sion’s performance in that match
was very low. One would assume that they will have strong backup from
supporters in this first home game but most of them are fed up with owner’s behavior
and it won’t be the same as last year.
Zurich on
the other hand won in first round of Supeleague against Thun. They’ve been a
little nervous in front of home audience at the beginning but later on they
took the initiative. As for transfers Zurich bought some quality players. Their
best striker Drmic moved to another club this summer but Gavranovic showed
against Thun that he is capable of replacing him.
One more
thing is that Zurich always goes for goals, their style is attacking and last
year they were one of the best teams on away turf.
There’s
only one logical bet to place here, and that is Zurich wins. As an instrument of
insurance I took +0 handicap to return the stake in case of draw.

Lechia
fans are certainly not satisfied with last season which offered little to
remember. They were unlucky but that’s hole other story. Now they have a new
coach who changed a lot of things in squad, primarily their playstyle which is
not as (over)attacking as it used to be. During preseason they lost only one
match and I expect them to continue the same here. Last winter they lost Traore
who was one of their best players but now they bought Matsui who already showed
he can replace Traore quite effectively.
Podbeskidzie
on the other hand are not so good team this season. Their top goalscorer Demjan
has left the team during this summer and without him they are at least 30
percent weaker. Moreover, visitors go in this match without their first
goalkeeper Zajc, captain Skolowski and midfielder Chimel who is their key
playmaker. If they were complete they could stand a chance for a point or
surprise but with this many key players out of action I don’t see them as a
threat to Lechia who is eager to get first victory on home turf.

No luck with poland league..now we switch to womens football..
SWEDEN - GERMANY Womens Euro semifinals Sweden has already proven that they are planning to take advantage of this opportunity as hosts of womens Euro. Although it seems that today they’ll have harder match than in possible finals I give them more chances than bookies. Their team is in excellent form – defense is quite solid, there are nice aggression and creativity in midfield, and the offensive part has said it all with 13 goals in 4 games. Germany on the other hand scored only 4 goals so far and their top goalscorer Mbabi probably won’t be able to play today because of injury. That’s a real problem for their coach who also came to Sweden without six important player and at least 4-5 would be in first lineup today if they were here – defender Petter (24 years and 72 caps), midfielder Faisst, Oderbrecht (both players of Wolfsburg who is club Champion of Europe), Bresonik (legend of german women football) and Kim Kulig (young star who was supposed to shine on this Euro). Also Alexandre Popp, young striker is also unavailable. They have quality youngsters but they are after all not the quality needed to take go for the gold here. They already lost against Norway, played draw with Holland and showed pretty low play against Italy. If Germany was complete this odds would be realistic, but with this kind of problems I have to go for Sweden. Only in respect for German discipline I’ll take insurance in case of a draw. Bet: +0 handicap Tip: 1 (Sweden) Odds: @ 1.65 Best of luck ;)

Only one match
is not very good reference but anyone who has seen their last round could see
that they were both struggling in the attacking part of the game. They’ve both
won but only with minimal result and the goals were scored in 80th
minute and all that suggest we won’t be seeing here any kind of spectacle. Also
weather conditions with temperature bursting over 35 Celsius wont make it
easier for them to push for the best.

Shakhtar is perhaps a better team than Skenderbeu which could be seen in
the first match, but odds on tonight’s victory of Albanians seem way
unrealistic. Shakhtar has 3 goals advantage and there are wide specters of
defeats which will still take them to the next round (1:0, 2:0, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1…).
Away team does’t have to push even if they get a goal behind. Including the
weather conditions which will surely suit the home team I think this is a good
value bet for a small stake.

DOMZALE – ZAVRC (Slovenian league)
Zavrc is a solid team and now they’ve gained more quality by signing Kresinger, a striker who is even too good for Slovenian league. They’ve recently managed to give a hard time to Maribor who is no1 in this league and they won against Celje and Triglav. Domzale on the other hand didn’t perform quite good this season, moreover, in the last round they suffered a heavy defeat (3:0) from Krka which is a new team in this league and now again they have lots of problems with injuries (Skubic, S. Vuk, Ljubovic, Majer, Jelar, Rems, Mulalic – all out for this match). Also they are playing at home but that’s not a real advantage for them. They’ve won only 5 out of last 26 home games. I think Zavrc can give them a real hard time in this match and go home with at least one point.
