Europa League Picks: Quarterfinals 1st Leg | Odds, Predictions & Free Tips

Alex:

It wasn’t me.

Flash:

… it… Well exactly, it wasn’t. It wasn’t. That must mean that one of the two might have been his, because I’ve got… They’ve swapped round on the Bundesliga, the other way round so they’re keeping me on my toes. When the music stops, please grab a chair because we’ve got @AlexClassicTips who’s a Bundesliga and European expert, who by the way, Alex Classic is both team to score and over. See a lot of them in the Europa League and on the other side, normally in Alex’s chair because Stinch… Alex is in Stinch’s, Stinch is in Alex’s. Mark Stinchcombe, who’s a European and world odds compiler who sniffs out value, and there is always value to be found Stinch in the Europa League.

Stinch:

Yeah, I think the beauty of the Europa League is it’s not all teams’ first priority, so they don’t always play their first strength team. And sometimes the market doesn’t factor in the motivation. I think we were — we’ve regularly spoke in the previous shows how we thought Arsenal weren’t going to take it seriously. Out. One of the favorites. Barcelona, one of the favorites. Out. Yet both of them are top of their respective leagues. So I think the beauty of the Europa League is if you have an opinion, it might not be factored in by the market and I think there’s a way to take advantage. I was particularly pleased with the last round because we were backing teams that didn’t need to win but we basically said that their odds were too big regardless, and we made money. So that was the pleasing aspect.

Flash:

Yeah. And obviously going nine and two is one of those. But for me, you take the rough with the smooth and the smooth with the rough. Talking of rough, here’s Alex.

Alex:

I’m talking about [inaudible 00:03:01], it’s like I watched the [inaudible 00:03:04] podcast earlier, right?

Flash:

There you go.

Alex:

Rough. Yeah, I love the fact that in this Europa League, you can see also other names from the European football that they don’t have the necessary quality for the Champions League spots at this stage. But teams like Eintracht Frankfurt that won the league, right now they are out but we see that Leverkusen is still there. We see teams like Royal Union Sain-Gilloise, the surprise of the season in Europa League. And I think that they will give it a go here, even though I think that they don’t have a chance in Germany in the first leg. I think that the second leg will be tougher than the odds will suggest that time. But in my opinion, I think that Leverkusen will qualify from the first leg. We don’t know what Roma we will see, but Feyenoord are really good at home. Some interesting match ups, to be honest. And a Sevilla team that is somehow reborn, right?

Flash:

Oh, I wouldn’t trust them. I wouldn’t trust them as far as I can throw them. They were two-nil up the other day against Celta Vigo with no minutes left on the clock and they drew two-two. But yes, the week before they kept a clean sheet and they scored twice again. And now they go to a Man United side without Rashford… We’re going to cover this. Let’s go on and cover all four games, please get yourselves in the chat. Sean’s saying, “No, no fans for Feyenoord versus Roma game.” Some would say that that’s fine. I mean, Roma will absolutely love that.

Alex:

That is great for Mourinho. That is great for Mourinho. [inaudible 00:04:47].

Flash:

Exactly. He loves silencing crowds and now there’s no crowd to silence, I don’t know what he’s going to do. Let’s kick off with the first game though, please. First game, look at them badges, they’re great. Graphics team are on fire. Feyenoord at plus 125, host Roma at plus 240. A few people think that Roma can go all the way. One, because of their manager and two, because of their style of play. Draw definitely on the cards here at plus 215. If it is a draw, then you’re going to be looking under two at plus 110.

I think the over is where you want to be looking and that’s why it’s minus 140 but Feyenoord at plus 125 at home. Alex, you can go first. I don’t think there’s any clean sheets here, so I think you’re getting big value when the number’s only set at two.

Alex:

Yeah, let’s not forget what a season Feyenoord had so far. Just one defeat in their domestic league. Okay, you will say that their domestic league is not that… It’s not that superior, like other leagues in Europe. But still, you have an Ajax team, you have some others that move their head left and right there, so Feyenoord is enjoying a great season. And let’s not forget that they won the group stage with Lazio inside. That Lazio failed to qualify in the playoffs for Europa League and they did it only in the Conference League.

After that they destroyed Shakhtar at home. They’re amazing at home, the only defeat since I don’t remember when was against the Ajax in the cup semifinals. But that was a cup and I think that they’re prioritizing the Europa League because in their domestic league, they don’t have a problem winning it. I think that it’ll be very tough for Roma to win here. It’s risky to play the money line here, even though Mourinho and his side have a lot of experience at this level and like our friends in the chat said, Feyenoord will have no crowd. But I still fancy Feyenoord finding the back of the net and also Roma, so I think that the both teams to score, the bet is a valuable bet, given that it is also priced at plus money, plus 110.

Flash:

Yeah, it’s amazing. I mean again, just on principle and we go by principles sometimes, especially when it suits us Stinch, that both teams to score is plus money. But Feyenoord to take… Maybe [inaudible 00:07:16] down, it could be two-one either way, or even two-two. And so just go with both teams to score and over, surely?

Stinch:

I think this is really trappy. Because I’ll play devil’s advocate here. First leg, European quarter final, we’ve seen Roma in the previous round. Very cagey games against Sociedad, two-nil Sociedad, then nil-nil away game. These two obviously played each other in the final of the Europa Conference League last year, which Roma won one-nil, another low scoring game. So, that would be my concern but I think you know me, Flash, that when you have goal lines of two, you always try and find a way to attack them. I do think that is being proactive as a better. But yeah, as I say, the thing that does put me off is this is Mourinho. This is classic Mourinho, isn’t it? Especially with no crowd. It’ll just-

Alex:

It’ll be no crowd now, Sean gave a new message. He basically… He lied to us at the beginning, it’ll be no fans for us, Roma, not for Feyenoord.

Stinch:

Mm-hmm. Yeah, no away fans.

Alex:

No away fans.

Stinch:

Having said that, you look at the odds here, Feyenoord at plus 125 basically says that both teams are rated fairly evenly by the market. Yet there’s a bit of a disparity in terms of the to qualify prices with final chalked up at plus 120. So if you fancied Feyenoord but didn’t want to maybe take the plunge on them winning or having to take a short price on them, draw no bet, then perhaps backing Feyenoord to qualify is the way to go. But yeah, I think this is-

Flash:

If they qualify… Stinch, if they qualify they’ve got to win at home. They’re not going to go to Roma and win.

Stinch:

Not necessarily.

Flash:

Do you fancy they’ll go to Roma and win?

Stinch:

No, I’m not saying, you know? This is football. This is why we love it, because it’s volatile. You don’t always get the results that you expect. I just think that, as I say, the market is a good indicator of a team’s true ability and at these prices, they’re saying they’re fairly level yet the to qualify prices seem a bit off to me. So I think if you want to get with Feyenoord, I think backing them to qualify if you don’t want to back them just to win the game. And obviously, if they don’t win, they draw. Your bet loses but if you’re on them to qualify, the bet’s still live for the second leg. But yeah, this is all depends about what time the first goal goes in. If it goes in early, it could turn into a bit of a basketball end to end. But it’s very… What was I going to say? Poetic. But you know, obvious, the longer the game stays nil-nil, I think the more likely both teams may settle for nil-nil.

But look, Alex is right. Feyenoord are having a fantastic season, deserve a lot of credit. Yes, they got knocked out by Ajax in the cup but I think he’s right, the priority is the league and maybe even the Europa League. They went to Ajax recently and won, scored three goals. So yeah, if they go to Ajax and score three, I think they’re more than capable of going to Roma and scoring at least one or two. But yeah, this is a massive tie state factor for me. Because it’s the first leg, it just stops me from pulling the trigger and backing a goal heavy game.

Flash:

I think Feyenoord have just got to come out and just go all guns blazing. Because-

Alex:

This is what I would do.

Flash:

…they cannot allow Roma to set the tempo, kill any sort of overenthusiasm. The first 25 minutes, half an hour of this game, Feyenoord have got to be right at them. And I certainly wouldn’t be no goal in the first half hour because Roma could hit them on the break. Yeah, I’m more than happy with going with Roma getting a goal. And I’m more than happy with going with Feyenoord and getting a couple, if not Roma getting a couple.

Let’s have a little look at the official Soccer picks because this is one of those where… Listen, no quarter will be asked or given and you’ve got to get on the front foot. No Roma fans? You’ve got to go and make sure that you get something out of this. So it’s both teams score, massive plus 110, so that just brings in the one-one, as well. Both teams score and over two and half is massive, plus 160. I just think that on the numbers, you’ve got to go with the over two as well. But when it’s priced at minus 140 then go with… I don’t see any clean sheets.

Let’s move on to game number two because this looks like the most predictable of this… The first legs, and it’s Leverkusen versus Saint-Gilloise. And it’s Leverkusen, minus 170. Yeah, you can understand why. Saint-Gilloise, they’re from the Belgium league, at plus 440. Draw is at plus 330. Now, Leverkusen like to score goals but they’re only getting minus 155 for them to score twice. But the under or over is set only at two and a half, and it’s minus 135 on the over, and that’s maybe because Saint-Gilloise are not expected to score, and that’s why they’re at plus 140, Stinch?

Stinch:

Yeah, you say they’re not expected to score. Minus 170 that they do contribute and obviously, Leverkusen, minus 155 that they score over 1.5 goals. So you’d much rather take the minus 135 and over two and a half, right? Leverkusen in fantastic form right now. Six straight wins, scored two or more goals in all of those matches. Xabi Alonso really seems to have got them in a great spot right now. I think what I quite like about them is the… He’s managing the schedule well. You know, playing Thursday, Sunday regularly can be tough.

But Saint-Gilloise, they deserve a lot of credit don’t they, for getting to this stage? They haven’t had to beat anyone fantastic. I know they’ve knocked out Union but we all know that Union are punching above their weight in the Bundesliga. And the games against Union, I think both legs were sort of 50/50 over or unders, and both of them were… That cleared the over line. So yeah, I think definitely, we’ll be looking at another goal heavy game. And yeah, if you don’t like that minus 135 and over two and a half, then I would go for the over 2.75. Should be about minus 110. So as long as you see three goals, you’ll get at least half a win. I think this is probably the most one-sided tie that we’ve got in this round.

Flash:

On paper.

Stinch:

I know the odds will say Man United are heavier favorites but without Rashford, I think that changes the tie drastically. So I think this is Leverkusen’s to lose. Classic Leverkusen would be to go and lose now. I think they’re always susceptible as a short price favorite, so yeah, I’d rather back goals here.

Flash:

Yeah. I mean, it’s one of those then. Just check out the attitude of Saint-Gilloise because they weren’t expected to get here, so now anything they do is a massive bonus. And if there’s one team that you can actually go and get a goal against… I know I just said it about the plus 140 because they’re not expected to score, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did just because I’ve got this Leverkusen three, Saint-Gilloise one, so minus one at minus 105, I’m happy with that as a free hit, Alex?

Alex:

Not many clubs in Europe will score three goals in two different occasions against Union Berlin. And Union Saint-Gilloise did exactly that. Three on the road against Union Berlin and three at home without conceding. And we’re talking another Bundesliga team like Leverkusen. Yes, Leverkusen have the pace, they have the quality, they have everything. They are fast, they are superior one-on-one. I watched some matches from Union Saint-Gilloise, and I really like their fighting spirit. And they will never stay back to defend because they always play all-in, in every single match.

And again, they’re fighting for the title in their domestic league. But Leverkusen, seven matches, winning seven, two of them in Europa League against Ferencvarosi, they score twice in every match. They kept two clean sheets. And other than that, they scored three each in their last five Bundesliga wins-

Flash:

You okay, mate?

Alex:

… so… Yes. So we understand the power in the attacking front that Leverkusen has right now. And I think that this is Leverkusen to win all the way. But you wouldn’t play them at minus 170, so if you are expecting goals and we are expecting at least three goals here, we’ll combine the Leverkusen win with over 2.5 goals. And again, that is again at plus money, at plus 120.

Flash:

Yeah, I just look at it and go, “I’ve got Leverkusen at minus 170, or I get a free hit, minus one, minus 105.” You know what I’m like. If I think that that’s going to happen, then I’m happy to go with the minus 105 and maybe if it’s a push, I don’t see this game being two-one.

Are we wrong? Let’s have a little look at a look in the chat. Are we wrong here to put a line through Saint-Gilloise? Because at plus 440, they’ve surprised Union, right? What price would Union be, Stinch, if they were in this game? Because they’ve beaten them twice, knocked them out, and now they go to Leverkusen who… Yes, they are on a great run. Yes, they are scoring great goal… Many goals. But they’re also a bit suspect at the back, still.

Stinch:

Yeah I think Leverkusen probably be around the plus money mark.

Flash:

Yeah.

Stinch:

It wouldn’t be too much separating them and Saint-Gilloise. But it’s all about, obviously, long term ability-

Alex:

I can tell you the price that Leverkusen was at home, when they played the earlier this season against Union Berlin, when they beat them five-zero they were at plus 140 to beat Union at home.

Flash:

Yeah. I know, I bet them that day at plus 140. But also, you got to remember that… I mean, it’s difficult. It’s difficult. I can see, obviously, some people thinking that Saint-Gilloise, at plus one, at plus 125 might be the way to go. Because Leverkusen has got to make sure that they go and win the game. Saint-Gilloise have got to make sure that they stay in the game because after 95 minutes, it is only halftime. Alex, if I pushed you for a score, could I be so bold as to edge you towards three-nil, three-one?

Alex:

I think that three-one… Two-one, three-one is decent. I think that… Yeah, around there with Saint-Gilloise also scoring.

Flash:

Okay. Stinch, Saint-Gilloise. Do they score?

Stinch:

I think they’ve got a better chance of scoring than the odds suggest.

Flash:

Okay, you sit on the fence and not give me a straight answer.

Alex:

No, no. But no, he’s right. [inaudible 00:17:52] minus 170… Minus 170? This is not playable. But this is all about the combo bets. Or if you’re brave enough like Flash, go for the minus one.

Flash:

Yeah.

Alex:

Which is probably a free hit at minus 105.

Flash:

Yeah, that’s the only way I’m going for it anyway, it’s a free hit. Let’s have a little look at the official picks. I don’t like that Leverkusen to score twice at minus 155, that is for sure. Leverkusen and over two and half at plus 120. Leverkusen minus one, at minus 105, Stinch thinks there’s probably more chance that Saint-Gilloise are score than not score, according to the numbers. Let’s move on to game number three. A massive game if you’re a follower of this show, because obviously, Stinch put up Juve at plus 800 two rounds ago. They’re now at home to Sporting in the first leg of the quarterfinals and they are minus 120. Sporting, plus 370. The draw is at plus 235 but the under over, again, is set at a stingy two. Minus 130 on the over. Alex, Juve here are plus 120 to score twice, I’d like to start there. I think Juve do score twice. And at plus 120, I think that’s good enough for some. Do they win if they score twice?

Alex:

This is the question here. Do they win if they score twice? I really don’t understand why Sporting are so overpriced at plus 370. Yeah, you would say to me that Juve, before the game with Lazio, they were on fire. That they were playing great, they were scoring goals, they were keeping clean sheets, and so on. But Sporting is a different animal what they played so far. They played Verona, they played the Freiburg. I think that all day long, Sporting beats Freiburg and plays better than them. They played Sampdoria in the league.

So really, this Sporting side, I think that they are still valuable to… I will put some beer money on them to advance here. I will take them at plus half a goal at plus 110. They’re great with the ball, they are electric one-on-one, they can do a lot of damage in the opposition box. They shoot great from outside the box. They have all the necessary weapons to score against Juve, and why not to produce the upset here, and to qualify further?

I don’t know if this will happen or not, but I fancy them to find the back of the net against this Juve side. So, both teams to score, for me again, at plus money.

Flash:

What about the defending of the Portuguese side, Stinch, because I’ve got-

Alex:

Not good.

Flash:

Well, exactly. I’ve got Juve to score twice on two of my predictions. I went with two-nil, two-one, and both of them equal plus 120 for Juve to score twice.

Stinch:

Well, they were very good defensively against Arsenal to qualify in the last round. I mean, the goalkeeper did have to put on a man of the match display. But it wasn’t as if Sporting didn’t have the chances themselves. And it wasn’t just 90 minutes, it was 120 minutes that they kept them at bay. And in that match, Sporting were plus 800. So I think we talked about it at the time, we felt that they were a little bit underrated by the market. So I think their price now is obviously a lot more fairer. Yeah, again with a goal line set at two, definitely think it’s attackable. Just not sure whether… It being, again, I don’t sound too boring but again with it being a first leg, whether the sort of caginess will come to the fore to begin with. So, I ideally want to side with who I think are the better team and possess the best players, which I don’t think is… Will be-

Alex:

Stinch? Stinch, question for you. You would think that this will be a cagey match. But if you are Juventus, would you go with a draw result in Portugal to play Sporting in the reverse fixture in the second leg?

Stinch:

Would I go with what, sorry?

Alex:

With a draw match? I mean, okay. Let’s-

Flash:

Oh no, the minus 120 jumps off the screen, of Juve taking a lead to Portugal.

Stinch:

Yeah. I mean, the-

Alex:

Yeah?

Stinch:

… the minus 120 in my opinion, is higher than one would expect. Because the game expects it to be low scoring. So whenever you have a low scoring game, it brings the draw price lower and pushes the other teams out higher. And yeah, I think the market’s telling us Juventus are better and they do, I think, possess the better players. I don’t think that’s anything untoward.

But yeah, I don’t think they are… It’s Allegri. It’s not free-flowing Pep Guardiola football. So I think if Juventus do win, I think it will be a low scoring game and so… You know? They’ve won 11 of the last 15, Juve, and only conceded five goals in those 11 wins. So if they do win, I think it will be low scoring but they have had trouble recently against some of the better sides in Serie A. They’ve obviously lost against Lazio, they lost against-

Flash:

Well, they were robbed. They were robbed against Lazio. Although Lazio were the better side, they were robbed. Shouldn’t have been a first goal.

Stinch:

Some questionable VAR.

Flash:

Oh.

Stinch:

They lost to Roma in the capital, as well. Failed to beat Inter, albeit a last minute penalty. So as Alex mentioned, they’re not playing the lesser lights of Serie A, your Sampdorias, your Veronas, et cetera. This is a step up, so basically I think I’m going to be a bit clever or greedy, and rather than take the minus 120 on Juve, I’m going to take the plus 130 that Juve win and under 3.5 goals. So I’m going to get on side one-nil, two-nil, two-one. Because-

Flash:

Three-nil?

Stinch:

… like I say, I don’t… Yeah, I don’t envisage a high scoring game. And I think the leap from minus 120 to plus 130, when the goal line’s already set at two, I think is… It might bite me in the back when Juve score a fourth to make it four-nil. Vlahovic comes off the bench and shuts all his critics up. But I’m prepared to take the risk-

Alex:

Or Goncalves does three-one and everyone is happy.

Flash:

Oh, don’t start all that. I’ve gone the same way, I thought I was clever, but I’m also happy with Juve, minus 120.

Alex:

Yeah. But I am with both teams to score. If you’re going three-zero, I’m going three-one.

Flash:

Well, no. Well, I actually wrote two-nil, two-one so you’d like the two-one a little bit better because all three of us are happy that way. Just the one for Mitch, Mitch has gone with corners, minus one and a half on Juve. Just be careful with Juve and corners because I’ve been bitten so many times with them. They don’t put that ball into the box as much as they should. And also when they go one-nil up, they start to mess about with the ball and then just try and pick the perfect… Almost like Arsenal were 10 years ago. Yeah, got to be Juve, game number three. Let’s have a little look at the official picks.

Okay, we’ve got both teams to score at plus 110. Valuemeister there for Alex. Juve and under three and a half for myself and for Stinch at plus 130. Just be careful if you do go with the corners like Mitch is saying because Juve aren’t the best when it comes to delivering the amount of corners you need. And the good thing about Sporting is they do like to play an open game, so just be careful there. Mr. Nice guy said… What did Mr. Nice Guy say? Because I actually wrote that down thinking I would come back to that. Mr Nice Guy, “Juve will take the Champions League serious because that’ll be their way into…” Yes, they will take this seriously. But also next week, I think it’s next week or the week after, we find out that they do and they will get their 15 points back. But they will be hammered in the summer after the season, so we’ll start next season. So I think either way, they will be in the Champions League next year. Remember, we’re hoping that they win this because there are… A lot of you are on plus 800.

Move on to the final game. Great batches. Man United at minus 250 against a Sevilla side at plus 650 who… I don’t think there’s another European side who has had paralleled success in this competition as they have over the last five or six years. Draw, plus 380. Sevilla are plus 100 not to score, so near enough a coin flip on whether Man United keep a clean sheet, meaning that I was expecting this goal line to be heavily on the under but it’s not. Under two and a half is at plus 110. Stinch, Man United minus one and half at plus 110. I’m not so sure I see Man United score… leading this game by two clear goals. No Rashford, massive weapon gone. Massive plus is Casemiro will be back.

Stinch:

Yeah, I agree. I think unders is the bet here. We seen in the other games, you saw the goal line set at two in Feyenoord and Juventus, and I don’t see a reason… I would still keep this at two and a half because I do agree United are, at this… Yeah, based on the whole season, are probably half a goal, 0.75 of a goal better than Sevilla. But yeah, I would maybe make the over under two and a half, much more 50/50, maybe even have unders as favorite. But just with that Rashford absence. Then we throw into the fact that Sevilla under new management, Mendilibar who’s an old school Spanish coach, very organized, very pragmatic.

We’ve seen in La Liga this season, or over the course of the last few seasons, the goals per game average has dropped and Spanish football is arguably going backwards. We see the Spanish national team underperforming, not containing what we would consider the star players of Barcelona and Real Madrid of yester-year. And yeah, I think the reason for that is that they haven’t got the quality to play on the front foot, so they’re playing on the back front. And yeah, you look at his first two games in charge of Sevilla, the first game he won two-nil at Cadiz. But they were out-shot, they gave up half the ball, so they had less than 50% possession. And Cadiz have got the second-worst possession in the league coming into that match. And then in his last game against Celta Vigo, it’s difficult to read too much into it because they had the man sent off after 15 minutes and then another man in the last few minutes. But they only averaged 30% possession in that match, as well.

So they will absolutely give up possession. It will be 11 men behind the ball and literally be the question of can Man United break us down? I think they could. Well I mean, I’m not reinventing the wheel am I? I mean, the minus 190 to score over 1.5 goals. But I think you need to be cautious with the Rashford news. So I like under 2.75 goals at minus 115. So essentially there, if are three goals, I lose half my stake but I get half of it back. So the only way I lose all of it is if there’s four goals.

And if you don’t want to go on that side then I would look at… Again, similar to our Juve bet, go for Man United to win and under 3.5 goals. I definitely see Sevilla not scoring as a runner, but I don’t want to back it at plus 100. I think it would be a nervous watch if they… On the counter attack. Because they do have good players, I just think they’re absolutely bereft of confidence throughout this whole season. And their priority, actually, might be staying up in La Liga rather than this game, so I don’t see… I’m not sure how often they’re even going to enter Man United’s half. But yeah, without Rashford I think unders makes lots of sense and I’m surprised the odds haven’t moved as a result of it.

Flash:

Sevilla have been really, really good last four or five games in La Liga. Two-nil up at the weekend going into the dying minutes and end up drawing two-two. For me, I’ve gone with Man United to come out the traps here and be leading at halftime. But that’s where the story could well end, because I think that Man United win halftime full-time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s one-nil halftime and still one-nil full-time. So I wouldn’t be getting involved in the… Because Sevilla, one-nil? They’d be happy with that. They’ll fancy their chances taking them back to the second leg, Alex?

Alex:

Yeah, it’s all about betting on Man United and unders here. But I think that the most value bet that Stinch doesn’t want to risk is exactly what he said, Sevilla not to score is at plus 100, and even Manchester United to win to nil for better odds here, if you combine the two markets somehow. I was looking also at both teams to score no, but it’s priced low. It’s priced at minus 130 here but that is a good take, also.

I think that Manchester United will have problems opening Sevilla but… Without Rashford. But with Casemiro back I think that they will be more… Much more organized at the back. You know? Sevilla have some quality players but Manchester United, let’s not forget that they love keeping clean sheets at home lately. And with Casemiro back, I fancy that. Mostly when Rashford is not there. Also, Garnacho is not there which is another minus. I really like this kid and he will do very good in the next seasons. And as you said, Flash, one-zero for Manchester United? Sevilla will party.

Flash:

Yes.

Alex:

At that [inaudible 00:31:29] Sevilla will party. You know? So I think that you put up some beer money on a correct score, one-zero there, and everything will be good.

Flash:

Yeah, I wrote down one-nil, two-nil. I see Man United keeping hold of the ball. Again in the chat, we’ve got McTominay anytime booking. But with Casemiro coming back in, I wonder if he goes Casemiro, Fred and Fernandes. Obviously, they have the big lump up front, and then maybe have a little bit of pace on the wings. But Man United will [inaudible 00:31:59]-

Alex:

Who qualifies? Who qualifies from all four matches, guys?

Flash:

I think it depends on who’s available and fit in Sevilla. Because again, I only see Man United taking a slender lead there. If Sevilla take a backward step Old Trafford, then the game could be over. Man United [inaudible 00:32:17] favorites-

Alex:

But they are used to playing Seville. They just beat Betis, you know? So, no worries about that.

Flash:

No. Again, and Betis are a different animal because they like to score goals. But again, Sevilla have been one of the form sides through desperation. But they’ve also been very unlike Sevilla at the weekend by giving up a two goal lead against Celta Vigo side who are also on a really, really good run. I think it’s all about the atmosphere. Man United get after them early, get that lead, and that’s why when we look at the official picks, I’ve gone with Man United to win halftime, full-time at plus 110. And under 2.75 goals in the game at minus 115, meaning if there’s three goals in the game he loses only half. But if there’s two, then he’s getting a much better price.

Sevilla, the kings of Europe. Yeah, I must agree and they’ve probably got the best resume over the last five or six years. But this is not the Sevilla that we were liking in Champions League and Europa League. But who knows? In a one-off game, like in Sevilla in the return leg, they could produce again.

So let’s have a little look at these best bets, please?

Stinch:

Might as well rename it Brighton Thursdays, Flash.

Flash:

Yeah, exactly. I think we’ll be on them again this week. So Alex has gone Feyenoord-Roma both teams to score, massive plus 110. Just got a little bit more and I’ve gone with the Alex classic of both teams to score and over in that game at plus 160. Stinch has gone Juve and under three and a half at plus 130. Copy and paste for myself.

Man United-Sevilla under 2.75 at minus 115. I’ve gone Man United halftime full-time at plus 110. Leverkusen minus one at minus 105 is a free hit. And Alex has gone Leverkusen and over two and a half at plus 120. Listen, Leverkusen could score three on their own, but we do think that Saint-Gilloise could contribute on the score sheet. And Juve-Sporting, both teams to score, plus 110. So for us all to cop, it’s Juve two, Sporting one. Murat saying Feyenoord will qualify. Thanks Ash, thanks Mitch, everyone in a chat. Purple two, I’m loving that fact you’re getting involved and typing so much as I am. Please, thumbs up on the way out. Alex, I’ll see you at Bundesliga. Stinch, I’ll see you at Premier League. But from everyone at BetUS, don’t forget the NBA starts tomorrow. And when I say starts, it’s the playoffs. Win, you carry on. Lose, see you next year. You take care.
