Can Arsenal come from behind to beat Porto tonight in the Champions League match
March 9, 2010
Arsenal will be going into tonight’s Champions League home fixture against Porto without their captain Cesc Fabregas after he suffered a hamstring injury during the Barclays Premiership 3-1 win against Burnley and it is currently unknown how long he will be out of action, hopefully not as long as last year when the same injury kept him sidelined for three weeks in December.
This is bound to be a blow for Arsene Wenger’s side who still need to overcome a 2-1 first-leg defeat to carry on in the competition, there is good news that Sol Campbell is due to come back into the squad and the captains band will be handed to goalkeeper Manuel Almunia. The Gunners have welcomed Porto to the Emirateson two previous occasions, scoring six goals in the process and keeping two clean sheets, so the odds for winning are clearly in Arsenal’s favour.

Liverpool still in with a fighting chance of Champions League football next season
January 6, 2010
Should the snow not bring the whole country to a complete stand still and nature allows us to continue with the football calendar unlike the games that were cancelled midweek. This weekend Tottenham Hotspur should be travelling up to Anfield on Sunday to take on Liverpool in this Barclays Premier League fixture.
A win for Rafa’s side this weekend could see them back in contention for a Champions League spot (dependent on other results of course) following their unbeaten run over the Christmas period which could help keep the troubled Spaniard out of the manager sack race, well for a while anyway!

Boxing day cash back bet available on Liverpool v Wolves
December 24, 2009
On Boxing day Wolves travel up the M6 (hopefully not sliding all the way up) to play Liverpool at Anfield for a 17.30 kickoff. Liverpool need to shake things around if they don’t want to slide further down the Premier League table, the once top four side find themselves lingering in 8th place following their 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday. Losing against Wolves could see them slip to 9th, a win on the other hand could see them go 6th (depending on results).
Liverpool find themselves out of this years Champions League and at their current quality levels they will not qualify for next season’s tournament, the Reds have managed to win just three times out of the last 12 games. Whisperings of manager Rafa Benitez imminent sacking have been circulating in the press for weeks to the extent that Torres mentioned in an interview that sacking the manager would be the wrong thing to do.

If Liverpool’s super striker Fernando Torres scores the last goal in this game then Paddy Power will refund all losing first and last goal scorer bets, correct scores and scorecast singles that have been made on the match.

Bookies giving Liverpool the benefit of the doubt for tonight’s Birmingham game
November 9, 2009
It’s another fixture tonight that Liverpool fans will not be looking forward to as they welcome Birmingham City to Anfield as the Reds are losing to teams that they should have been beating comfortably. Birmingham have gone two games unbeaten and will be looking to notch up a third in tonight’s Premier League clash. Liverpool have had a disappointing run of matches lately being defeated by Fulham and Arsenal in the league not to mention their Champions League disasters against Lyon.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will have Martin Skrtel back in the squad and will be also hoping that Fernando Torres will be fit after the striker was cleared to return training following a groin injury, less likely to feature in the squad is Steven Gerrard. Birmingham will be without Garry O’Connor and Keith Fahey and Barry Ferguson is banned.
William Hill are running a cash back offer on the game, they know how hard it is to predict Liverpool’s results of late so if you place a £20 bet on the 90 minutes markey they will give you a free £5 bet to use on the live score market.

Favourite to score at anytime during the match is Liverpool striker Fernando Torres at odds of 5/2, then its Gerrard at 4/1, failing that if those two fail to play tonight its Dirk Kuyt at 5/1, first to score for Birmingham according to the odds is Cristian Benitez (no relation!) at long odds of 10/1.

Odds are that Benitez could be on his way out of Liverpool
October 22, 2009
This weekend could see one of the biggest games of Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez’s Anfield career, he has received the deadly public backing that his position is safe from Liverpool co-owner George Gillett, in footballing terms this usually only means one thing, time to start reading the situations vacant and wondering what Grimsby is like this time of year, he is currently at odds of just 3/1 to be the next manager to lose his job but with him having just recently signed a 5 year contract it would be a costly affair for Liverpool.
Liverpool have suffered an unfortunate time in recent games, losing in the Champions League at home against Lyon mid week and last weekends beach ball goal that cost them the game sees them languishing in 8th place in the Barclays Premier League. This weekend they take on the league leaders Manchester United, a win for Liverpool would lift team spirits, save Rafa (for now) and dependant on results put them back in the top four.

English Sides Appeal in Champions League Accumulator
September 28, 2009
With the English ‘Big Four’ all getting off to a winning start in the first round of Champions League matches in the Group stage of the 2009/10 competition, punters looking to bet on this week’s matches could do worse than back the same four teams again this week to maintain their 100% recrods. All four look to have winnable games and at combined odds of around 10/3 makes plenty of appeal.
Arsenal look to have the easiest task of the four as they welcome Greek champions, Olympiakos to The Emirates and at odds of 1/4 should not have any repeat of the opening game scare when falling 2-0 behind away at Standard Liege.
On Wednesday night, both Chelsea and man Utd shoudl also have no problems in justifying their short odds in order to make it two wins out of two on the road to Madrid next May. Chelsea play Cypriot Champions, Apoel Nicosia and Carlo Ancelotti’s men should have no problem securing three points on the Mediterranean Island. Whilst Man United open up their account at Old Trafford with the visit of Wolfsburg. The Germans are sure to prove a challenge to last season’s Champions League finalists but it would be a major shock if United did get anything other than three points from this fixture.
Liverpool face the toughest game of the English sides this week when they travel to Florence in Italy to take on Fiorentina. Liverpool are even money with Victor Chandler to get the win but the Italians are sure to prove no push over. However, Liverpool’s Champions League pedigree under Rafa Benitez cannot be questioned and with the Reds hitting form in the League this game looks likely to go the way of the visitors.
A £20 accumulator on Man Utd, Arsena, Liverpool and Chelsea all to win in the Champions League this week returns £85.71 with Victor Chandler.

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.
