Agree though it should be a walkover for RS BUT Kairat Almaty have been punching heavily and RS Belgrade the opposite, declining pretty badly past two seasons.

As well as Serbian SuperLiga champions for the past four seasons, i wish that every team from a not a top league was regressing like Red Star Belgrade. lol

i got btts ^ thank you very much, looking at Malmo and HJK, the Fins are not a bad team, i will probably go again with btts. ✓

Yesterday seemed like a no brainer -- every match except the last (Celtic) ended as expected for the favourites, so of course, I had to make accas with every favourite, therefore busting because of Celtic's stupid draw.

toma: Agree though it should be a walkover for RS BUT Kairat Almaty have been punching heavily and RS Belgrade the opposite, declining pretty badly past two seasons. HT is already with the Kazakhs but maybe a draw might even be on the cards.

I have also decided to go for Flora Talinn. Team Estonia! Almost 17/1.

some good odds in the qualifying round today. Couple of picks https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/6e9f1983-a601-4f42-a5c6-2b2bc9fb533d

FC Kairat - Red Star. Taking the serbain team moneyline sounds like a no brainer here, especially at 2.4 odds which are quite high odds ngl, maybe they're having a rough start of the season or they're missing some key players for today's fixture? but, in all honesty, they should have the edge against a team from the kazakh league

Ludogorets playing away vs. Mura. The latter seems to be the hottest team in the slovenian league rn since they're the defending champions this season (what happened to you, Maribor?), but Ludogorets have the experience and squad quality on their side. ML boosted odds at 2.01, good enough. If you wanna be extra greedy, -1 ahc each pick Grin

gl!

Neither of the bets seem like a no brainer to me, I bet they odds are really worth a punt.

I'll be taking both as parlay (small bet).

I lost quite a fortune yesterday simply because I felt curious about while some of the teams odds seem way too much, although most of the teams wins didn't come easily.

What do you think for a pair of PSV - Galatasaray? The draw for the second day in a row brings together two very strong teams. Yesterday Celtic drew with Midtjuland, and today PVS will play with Galatasaray. If you look at the face-to-face meetings of these clubs, then a clear advantage is on the side of PSV, I think they should win today if they count on a further passage in the Champions League qualification.

hopefully it will come, but Serbian teams have a bad tradition with matches in Kazakh or Azeri teams in preliminary rounds, especially on away matches, so I will skip it
more or less, I expect to see one goal, if any, on that match, usually it is like that, and they will say - it was a long trip to Kazakhstan, we were tired

Ludogorets is better pick, but I would risk with goals there, since Slovenians are not that bad, although lost first round match in their league 0:3 at home (Dinamo lost first match in Croatia at Friday as well, and won over Omonia yesterday)

Dinamo Zagreb is one of the favorites to qualify for the Champions League group stage.They got 2 easy picks with Valur in first round(defeating them) and now Omonia and already having a nice lead against them for the rematch.Livakovic for me is the future of Dinamo and will probobly be sold for a fat fee

Since I am not used with teams playing qualifications rounds, I just take a look at the result, yesterday I saw Dinamo still 0-0 in the first half and I was wondering what's going on, turned out they scored 2 goals in the second half. Not sure if Dinamo is stronger or Omonia players got tired.. Otherwise Cluj and Wien managed to flip the result to their favor after being behind with 1 goal.
For today's games, I think PSV - Galatasaray might be interesting. Bratislava - YB too tho.

Dinamo Zagreb with another solid performance yesterday, winning 2-0 against Omonia at home. They have a few interesting players again, a few of them played for Croatia in the Euros.

For those that do not know - Dinamo is Croatia's biggest club and was a springboard to 80% (probably more) of good croatian players in the last 10 years or so. To name just a few - Modrić, Kovačić, Ćorluka, Vrsaljko, Mandžukić, Brozović, Lovren.. Players to watch now are Oršić, Petković, Majer and Ivanušec.

Sure. By the way, yesterday Spartak won a small domestic tournament, and showed an excellent game, I think now it is becoming the favorite in this pair. Spartak is famous for its instability, but now it seems that there are no prerequisites for this, and depending on what the bookmakers offer, I will most likely place a bet in this confrontation.

Honestly, it has nothing to say. Winning a domestic tournament as the top team of Russia doesn't really show how strong the team is and what we can expect from the team this season. That would be like emphasizing that FC Barcelona is in a top condition because they won a small pre-season tournament of teams in Catalonia.

But you can draw certain conclusions about the preparation of Barcelona, even for such matches. winning 1-0 and winning 5-0 are very different results, right? Spartak played 5 matches in July - one draw 2-2 and 4 wins with a total score of 21-1. In every game where Spartak won, it scored at least 4 goals. I think this indicates a good form of the team and will contribute to an excellent mood and confidence before important matches.

I'm sure that Shakhtar will win. As for the second match, it will be at least the level of the group stage - these two teams are really strong. As far as I know, things are not going very well in Spartak, but most likely in this confrontation it will be stronger. At least any other result other than victory will be considered a failure and the club's management will most likely take action against the head coach.

An interesting point is that the current Spartak coach has already coached Benfica.
In fact, it was the coach who replaced the current coach when he left Benfica for a rival club.
So both coaches know each other very well. It could be two very interesting matches.

Slava Ukraini!

My picks for today's qualifiers games:
Kairat - Crvena Zvezda - here I'm risking with away win @2.20
Mura - Ludogorets - away win @1.97, good value bet, because I think that Ludogorets is better team and I' a bit surprised about quite big odds for their win.
Legia - Flora - over 2.5 @1.67
PSV - Galatasaray - home win @1.53. Though, Gala looks a bit underrated for me.

Celtic - Midtjylland BTTS @1.85
Lincoln Red Imps - CFR Cluj - over 2.5 @1.62
Rapid - Sparta - over 2.5 @1.77

So, won all 3 bets ✓. Not big profit, but still, not bad. 7 more games tomorrow, will post some picks before it. PSV - Galatasaray looks most interesting.
Celtic - Midtjylland both teams ended with 10 players on pitch after red card. Goal that Celtic conceded was goalkeeper fault - I think he had to take that ball. But this goal don't hurt Celtic that much without away goal rule.

good one, you were lucky with Celtic, congrats
I had my bet on Zagreb in the second half, when the odds seemed better than on the beginning, will be interesting in re-match between Rapid and Sparta, both team have ambition to pass into next round

regarding today, Red Star is playing with Kairat, and I do not see goals there, under1.5 seem as a good option
what about Mura and Ludogorets, there should be goals there, over2.5 seems good

Congrats for your win. By the way, if I was betting on Celtic - Midtjylland I would probably bet over 2.5, somehow I see Celtic as a team that is hungry for goals in the local league. Although indeed, in their last season Celtic failed to defend the Premiership title but that was not a problem and also, this draw still made it possible for both teams to have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals.

@LTU_btc it seems to me your experience came handy and helped you win your bets so congratulations for those winnings, and big or small amount doesn’t matter cause it’s yet a win so I would enjoy it. Furthermore I believe that Celtic shall proceed ahead, and hence I hope that you’ll leave your predictions before their fixture begins.

To be honest, I would be very happy if the Super League would somehow still come about. Not because it's good for football, because let's be honest, the Super League was only initiated because the top clubs want to earn even more money, but because it would be a slap in the face for UEFA. As you said, UEFA is also for me an institution that is rotten to the core, where it is no longer about doing the best for European football, but about making as much money as possible with football by whatever means. This became obvious again recently when UEFA insisted on making the stadiums as full as possible during EURO 2020, despite the spread of the delta variant.
I just can't see a Super League Happening in the near future. This decision of the court means nothing now that almost every team has said that they don't want be a part of a super league anymore.

I would rather see UEFA giving the teams a bit more control instead of a whole new another league. You think the new super league will be fair?

It will be basically "these big clubs will get everything and the small ones will get nothing" type of deal and nothing more, now at least it is a bit more fair towards smaller clubs who get eliminated even before group stage, they could still make a bit more money, and even a team that makes it to group stage and end with zero points could still end up with some money just for being in.

Super league and Champions league could get together and build something better, a champions league that is fair and have team presidents/owners getting to a common agreement, they could have power according to how many times they were in champions league in the past 10 years and how further they have gone, so a team that won it many times like Real would have a big power and a team that made it into champions league just once in the last 10 years would have low power but they would all get together to decide on things, makes more sense.

We are going to have the qualification quarter final games starting tomorrow. And I think the most attracting game of the night is going to be PSV - Galatasaray in Eindhoven. These two teams are actually quite close to each other in terms of strength. But as PSV have the advantage of playing home, it's going to be tougher for Galatasaray. I think that we will see both teams scoring in the first leg and it will end in a draw.
