Decided not to put any money down on lines tonight, but if I were going to, I'd probably put a lot of money down on Villareal, who lost their boss to Villa -- maybe going as far as they can in Conference will be their welcoming gift to impress new gaffer Setien, who'll also want to do his best to remind Barca about his qualities (haha).

I won't forget how good Mourinho in his prime was at parking a bus. I think nobody can't beat him there, Simeone isn't even near to him.

yeah, especially with Porto, he won Champions league with them, and it was mere a miracle to see them winning CL
and it was based on parked bus mostly
but nevertheless, Conference league is lower quality competition, and parking bus against Slavia is much easier task, than parking bus in front of United attack
I was just saying the other day how much I kind of miss old, battling, combative, sour Mou. He seems to be a happy guy these days (not withstanding Roma's poor season so far) but I'd love to see him and Tammy go through group stages so it's a must-win tonight at Helsinki... he will be hoping Betis win big so the final showdown with Ludogorets is in his hands.
Will be sharing a bet later this week, not sure if anything is tempting enough for me but remember this is the league for goals!

Partizan won against Koln again. Congrats to fellow Bitcointalkers who support this team 
After this win they have good chances not just to reach next round, but take 1st place in group. Esepcially after unexpected Nice loss against Slovacko.
Happy for first Zalgiris win which keep their chances to reach next round. Game against Pyunik ended 2:1, but Zalgiris wasted so many chances that it could ended 5:1 or 6:1. In other group game Slovan and Basel echanged goals - 3:3. Now situation in this group is very interesting - between 1st and 4th places there is just 3 points gap.
For me biggest upset today is Cluj win against Slavia. They were big underdogs, but managed to score 2 goals, Slavia failed to score, despite making 24 shots, 4 on target.

Thanks,now with Nice losing to Slovacko o most an insane scenario must happen so that we dont qualify,we just need also a draw against Nice to be first in the group so this is a huge achievement for us and if we continue to play like this we might even see quarters or the semi finals. Slavia Prague is really disapointing this season. They were much better before and now they are losing some serious amount of points and they were considered as one of the favorites to win the group.
Congratulations for the great results of Partizan this season in the conference league.
It's really not easy to beat the respected German premier league team, Koln twice in a few weeks.
I actually expected a lot more from another Serbian club, Crvena Zvezda, but they didn't even manage to qualify for the Champions League and it seems that they will be relegated from the Europa League as well.
With a little luck, Partizan could make a big European result this season. From what I've seen, they play very well.
I also expected much more from Slavia and for me they are a big disappointment.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that this pattern (when the favorite seems to be trying and delivering an incredible number of shots on goal but cannot score) for some reason is often found in such "weak" tournaments. For example, yesterday the same thing happened in the game Manchester United - Omonia. I can't explain it by a lack of motivation - after all, the team is doing useful things and even more than usual (against equal opponents), but at the same time, the performance is very low. I wonder why.
It's difficult to comment something without watching that game. Though, probably difference of level between Slavia and Cluj is smaller than MU and Omonia. From stats it looks that Cluj scored early goal and then only needed to save score and try to punish opponents on counter attacks. And it's not easy to score against properly parked bus. I won't forget how good Mourinho in his prime was at parking a bus. I think nobody can't beat him there, Simeone isn't even near to him.

Great pick with Cluj hehe. They rarely concede goals even in our internal tournament Liga 1 and every team think that they can score against them and yet , so few of them are doing so.
Heh, heh, yeah, can't believe they got such strange way to win and to not concede, but can't really take credit for picking them for superiority, I'm a victim of seeing them "recently" in UCL, but also I honestly think these teams are not recognised enough for their quality, I hope to squeeze that value for many more years.
we did it another time, 2:0 home win against Koeln, and 6 points from these two matches, must say that I did not looked forward to more than 3 points
with these points, we need just to beat Slovacko at home to qualify no matter other results, and away match with Nice, great position, bearing in mind Nice and Koeln in the group
it was a firework before the match, and that usually end-up with losing points, but this time was different
keeping fingers crossed for Slovacko to take at least point in France, Nice is playing under1.5

Absolute blast man, and Nice, big laughs. Glad I avoided them and Koln (whom I used to back a lot last season actually!). Nice lost and got a key guy sent off (Todibo) so it's nicely primed for you guys. Good luck!

FCSB should be ashamed of themselves and they are as I just saw the conference speech after the game from some players and even the coach...and also media are all over them calling this the most ashamed game of football in Europe competitions for a team from Romania...pretty sad night but also great job for CFR Cluj.
United lucky with McTominay but they should have scored earlier in my opinion.

I don't understand why Koln are playing this much badly. Maybe they just want to focus on being more successful in the Bundesliga this year. But they don't join this kind of tournaments ofter also. Therefore I would have expected them to be more ambitious than this.
Manchester United team could not score any goal in 60 minutes against Omonia. They are doing a lot of monogamy. They may have had 23 shots, but were still unable to break down Omonia's defence. Omonia's players are only repelling attacks from United's players. But the important thing is that we are not seeing good performances from Ronaldo. I expected a good performance from Ronaldo in today's match because he played quite well in the last two matches.

Big congrats to Partizan really. They are one of the surprising teams in this stage. I was expecting Nice and Koln to be number one and two but it looks like Koln are almost out of the tournament already now. Partizan fought really bravely against them despite not being the favourite side. Defeating Koln in Germany was a bigger success but this one was also a huge success. Because it was a crucial match for both sides. Partizan were going to relieve or Koln were going to be in the competition again.

@casperBGD, @Joca97, congrats with your Partizan win. Very important step for spot in next round. But damn, this group is very complicated. I even wouldn't write-off Slovacko yet.
Partizan, well done guys, didn't know there was so much support on the forum

Games already underway and I was really hoping to see Cluj odds above 5/1 as they were the sole bet I took last round and was the highest odds of picks (9/1), but they're rightly given less than half of those odds this time, at home.
Can't see value in the clear favs (West Ham, Nice, Fiorentina) so am sitting out tonight's editions. Austria Wien above 7/1 are the most tempting, but you never know with Villareal...

Also , eyes on FCSB with that revenge against Silkeborg because last game they played without important players so that's why they got 5-0 but it won't happen that again tonight

41 goals in 16 matches last night. Farmers league again the ones for goals, though the distribution this time was lopsided on a third of the games, and this round didn't do as well as the bigger brothers...
Europa: 48
UCL: 49

I don't know what UEFA should do to make sure that goals in such competitions are valuable and the players are happy to "farm" them. In general, the tournament shows good performance, which is not surprising given the very diverse composition of the participants. But still, this tournament for me will begin at least with play-offs between the second places of the groups and the losers from the Europa League.
I agree, without watching more than highlights, it's really not as bad as people think it is, and I always felt that. You've got a handful of actually good teams and a hell lot of really hungry teams (Roma being both as the first edition's winner). Perfect recipe for entertainment if you ask me.
I actually get Conference matches form Bulgarian streaming services... not sure why it's not as easily locatable as even Europa.

Not bad day for away underdogs. Two big upsets in Group G where Slavia lost to Cluj @9.00 and Sivasspor defeated 3:4 by Ballkani @7.50 in amazing game with late drama. Now all teams in this group have 4 points.
Partizan win is also worth to mention.

And that was the only bet I took in Conference too, Cluj away, I actually got it less than 9/1 but it practically turned a horrendous night into a good one as it recovered all the money I lost in Europe on Man Utd haha and then a few satoshis profit.

Thanks,was really intense we could have scored a few more goals,but happy with the win we are now at the top of the group and if we win again next week against them we will pass the group stage. Also Balkanii to win is probobly the biggest shock in todays matches. Sivasspor to lose against such a bad opponent is just shocking.
