Europa league 13.07

Indeed, Levski could have easily lost 3:0 in Montenegro. Their defense looks abysmal. Sutijeska seemed like a very poor and limited team, but they were tearing Levski's defense apart. I doubt they can fix their defense within one week.

Anybody to provide more info about Hajduk. If this was Rijeka or Dinamo, I'd have bet big on them to win vs Levski.

Avoid betting on Hajduk.These new guys who arrived are just average players and they lost key defender Jefferson.2 new central defenders Lopez from Barcelona B and Carbonieri from Brazil Paulista league are just 10 days together in Hajduk.In friendly games Hajduk looked pretty bad especially defense is quite new and not yet in form..Levski is nothing special as well but they can handle this Hajduk.Instead of Hajduk I would propose you win of Rijeka with at least 3 goals difference,that looks safer to me.

Also avoid Osijek because it is quite big gap between Swiss and Croatian first league.
Osijek without big international experience.Luzern is not St.Coloma.

Not true, Levski has new team, Hajduk retained key players and strengthened the team.

Each odds above 1.65 to 1.70 has good value. Now odds on Hajduk is 1.50.

I play and send tip on 1.80.

Osijek without big international experience.Luzern is not St.Coloma.

Inaccurately, Osjek has quality players roster and in this match home ground is very important.
Luzern is not better team.


I send and play Osijek ah -0.25 on 1.97, now odds is 1.81.

Evry odds above 1.80 on line AH-0.25 has value.

I don't know if Luzern is really much worse than Osijek in general.
But FCL got some problems right now for this first competitive game of 17/18:
- 2 offensive keyplayers left the club
- new signings look promising on paper but may need time to settle (some arrived late or injured)
- several injured players are missing and others are doubtful (especially cdf and fw);
- short preseason with only 4 tests (and coach unable to field best possible starting lineup in those tests)

Besides, Luzern has a looooong history of failing miserably in qualifying rounds for international competitions

The Levski Bulgarians are a bad opponent for the young team of Hajduk, +1 played with closed eyes

Your proposal seems even more valuable now as it pays around 2,40. Can you extend your speach? Can you back up your bet with some other arguments? I am far from being as enthusiastic as you .

Yes, I knew Hajduk are a young and inexperienced team, so not worth backing them at these odds...

Overs might sound promising. Levski's strength is in their attack, their biggest weakness is their defense. But I cannot recommend such bet pre-game, especially in 1st leg (nobody knows how the game will start, there might be slow tempo in the beginning etc.). But u might follow it live and see if the pace is good and Hajduk offers attacking play, then there should be at least 2 goals.

Partizan very probably without Leonardo top scorer..very possible draw here or 1-0 for locals.

»Europe» Europa League »Hajduk Split (Cro) - Levski (Bul)

The 1,80 on Home Win (a fair price IMHO) is long gone and with current prices as low as 1,50 I'd rather look for other options.

I try to go at least one match at Poljud each year (I spend my summer holidays in the region of Split) and follow Hajduk in general. My impression is that this year's squad is a bit inferior to last year's. Ante Erceg cannot fill in the shoes of Tino Susic and the same goes for GK Stipica (filling in for Kalinic). On the other hand, the addition of striker Futacs seemed to work well in the domestic league and he could pose a serious threat to Levski's defense.

As for Levski, the club and coach are still in the process of working out how to turn the bunch of newcomers (10 of them) and the remaining players from last season into a coherent squad. That was seen in the two matches vs Sutjeska when good display was followed by foolish mistakes and inability to convert chances (the first game in Sofia should've ended in the region of 5-0, 5-1 instead of 3-1).

Two to three changes in comparison with the return leg at Sutjeska are expected. A. Vutov, who missed the game due to an accident (broken bath-tube in the hotel), is returning. Newcomer Jordi Gomez (https://www.transfermarkt.com/jordi-.../spieler/39010) is also expected to make his debut for the club. RB Cvetkovic, who performed terribly in Niksic, will be replaced by midfielder Prochazka who has experience as defender as well.

That would however limit options up-front as Prochazka is among the usual goalscorers with kicks from distance (see his goal vs Sutjeska - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgpa2giOZ6Y). Coach Mitov does not seem to mind that and the overall setup of the squad could be quite defensive. Of the offensive players only striker Mapuku seems to be capable of posing a threat, while wingers Narh and Adeniji (who is not even supposed to play at this position) clearly struggle to find their form. Mapuku himself lacks stamina and was visibly tired in the second halves of the two matches with Sutjeska.

Having all this in mind, I find the odds on Under (1.75@bet365) quite acceptable. First game for the season for Hajduk, who are not even on their home field, defensively minded Levski, why not? Will be waiting to see odds on 'No goal before 30th minute' as well. GL!

Ruzomberok-Brann 1 2,6 Slovakians are quite good at home.I don't rate Brann stronger than Vojvodina.

Ruzomberok-Brann 1 2,6 Slovakians are quite good at home.I don't rate Brann stronger than Vojvodina.

I think (source YT) Ruzomberok payed cautiously and converted all they had against Vojvodina. How good is Brann? They are parking at second spot in the league when 16/30 rounds are played. I know this information will not matter here, just little facts.

Ruzomberok wont feel wind in their hair (because of Brann´s play) but the burden av home stadium might tie their legs together as they are supposed to get some advantage from here. Brann wont help as they will first and foremost shrink the free spaces on their own half I think...I am not pointing out any team to go through here .

My feeling is 0-0 or at least not so many goals.

I went for a couple of bets, there among: Astra home win. How is the situation in Romanian clubs? What do you think about those who are competing in Europe? I watched Romanian league from time to time a couple of years ago. It's time to refresh it. I always admired your club logos, they are fancy.

I wouldnt trust Astra. They are no longer the team from last year, key players left the team, loads of them, coach also left in Turkey and they are in rebuilding process with new coach Edy Iordanescu and lots of new faces. Even their coach said that would love to say they are favorites but they arent considering the changes, but hard to tell the difference between this two since i really know nothing about the opponent. But Astra really downgraded a lot, from coach point of view and players as well. In general, romanian footy is in colapse and i wouldnt expect achievements, i would rather expect failures, as the level dropped significantly last couple of years. Still they might be better than this new comers from far East.

Astra - Zira

The Romanian Astra lost all of last year's composition in the summer. Left goalkeeper Lung (27/0), defenders Alves (19/1), Fabricio (23/1), Junior (29/0), Sapunaru (32/8), Orosh (19/0), midfielders Budescu (15 / 4), Lovin (26/0), Mansali (19/0), Nichoara (15/1), Teixeira (28/4), attacking Alibek (13/3), Florya (27/3), Niculae (22 / 6), Bus (9/2).

Got a bunch of new players, but they are clearly lower level plus time to create a set of people team. The results of the friendly matches are alarming 2-4 with the Kosovo Tembey, 1-2 Anji, 1-3 Rijeka, only Triglav 3-0 won, but this team only went to the Slovenian major league from the second division.

Zira in the first round of qualification confidently passed Differdange (2-0, 2-1). As part of the goalkeeper sb. Azerbayjan Nazirov plus a bunch of foreign players. In the attack 4 Negroes, some even for the national teams of their countries are running, in defense experienced Serbs and Romanians plus another Cameroonian with experience playing in the Turkish Super League.

I think Zira can very well take advantage of large-scale changes in the Astra's folk

IMO there's a good value on Hajduk-Levski - BTS. If local media reports are correct Hajduk will most likely start with a newly formed defensive line and I'm pretty sure Levski should try scoring. Otherwise they won't stand a good chance in the second leg and I highly doubt they'll keep a clean sheet, not with that shaky line. First impressions were that new signing (Cvetkovic - RB) will be replaced by Prochazka but latest suggestions are that Cvetkovic will start and to be honest, he was far from convincing, although he's new to the club.
