Europa League betting begins with high hopes for English sides

September 17, 2009

Its been a busy week for European football for English sides with action in the Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday and tonight its the turn of the new Europa Cup, it may have a new name but the competition is old as it replaces the UEFA Cup (Shakhtar Donetsk are the current champions) which has had its detractors over the years.

There are three English teams are in tonight’s fixture list, for them its a chance of European exposure and if they progress pass the group stages there may even be a glimmer of some silverware in the trophy cabinet this season and for Fulham and Everton it could be their only chance unless they get some wealthy backers so they can step up and take on the big boys of Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League.
