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.
 @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.

The most surprising result of the night so far is in the Sivasspor - FC Ballkani.

Something is really wrong with the Turkish team as far as I understand from their performance tonight. They had serious issues in defense while they were great offensively. Losing this comfortable match by an absurd score like 4-3 must be a good lesson for them. They were much better against tougher opponents like Cluj and Slavia Prague. Sivasspor were even 1-3 behind but managed to equalize it anyway. However they couldn't resist their opponent until the end and FC Ballkani scored their winning goal in the stoppage time.

Now all the teams in the group have 4 points which is pretty interesting.  Grin

my team just started match against Koln, it does seem that the match could be interesting (home odds @1.5 were too low even to jinx on the match)

there is also few interesting matches tonight, Nice already won in our group, winning 0:1 against Slovacko, Fiorentina has an early lead in Scotland after miserable start in ECL, and Gent is playing Djurgarden, with Vasytin on the bench

Our Partizan is currently leading 0-1 and the match is quite intresting with both teams having a lot of chances. Too bad Partizan didnt lead at halftime more but this is good as well. If we win today i think we will have a good chance of passing the group. Nice won somehow against Slovacko and i think Slovacko wont pass the group.

Well....FCSB has 5 odds to win the game with Silkeborg and to be honest , they can make it because even if they are not having the strong players with them in this game , they still have a strong bench with skilled players ready to step up anytime so eyes on this game boys because odds are not fair.

Also Slavia vs CFR could be a both teams to score but don't expect a lot of goals as CFR is well known for having a strong defense.  Grin


EDIT : FCSB did so awful that I couldn't watch the game after 2-0 ....and they ended up losing by 5...

Hey Farmer league fans! Everything comes back to Conference for midtable teams and exotic teams playing for the first time.

Yet to make any real assessments for the upcoming matches, but I can almost expect plenty of goals, so either BTTS or Overs could be something I go for in a long acca.

My picks of games (won't be watching though as Europa has nicer setups):
a. Villareal v Austria Wien
b. Slavia Prague v Cluj

Not the best start of tournament for Viola, jst 1 point after 2 games..

it is bad start, but they will probably make it to next round
and that is the fact in these competition, big teams that are here do not pay much attention on this competition until kick-out rounds, if they come through grouo stage

Fiorentina is strong enough to win against any team in group, home and away, if they need that for coming through

16 goals in the first half from 8 games, this is the league to watch hahaha.

A lot of goals in first round of games but second round is up there too with a lot of goals so far and still 20 minutes to go so yea....it seems all the goals from all the other competitions are happening in Conference  Cheesy. Too bad FCSB is still 0-0 with Anderlercht but still have a pretty good chance to score as they are playing much better and a goal should be well deserved for FCSB Smiley

Yeah, who says farmer league's not entertaining eh? Only problem is actually finding the streams to watch, and of course ignoring Europa league ties, but I can imagine a lot of people finding something extra to watch and support, no one's complaining anymore (or at least not as loud).

This is the goal I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/WKySZt4j0sY?t=280

This is the night for Turkish teams really as Sivasspor also defeated Cluj 1-0. Actually Cluj found so many opportunities to score but had an unlucky day.

Good watch for you then, and yeah, I think there's a lot of entertainment value now -- problem for me is I still think of teams like Cluj and RS Belgrade as seeded favourites, and then seeing them lose the way they do, bad for my betting. Also, me picking Israeli teams not a good strat...

I'm surprised West Ham had such a hard time beating Denmark's Silkeborg. After a quick goal, the game seemed to set up, but after another goal in the 75th minute, West Ham fans were noticeably more nervous. Another game that shocked me was Istanbul and Fiorentina. I don't think anyone was expecting that 3-0 scoreline.

Başakşehir is doing very well in group A, I didn't expect such a different score. Fiorentina are not a weak team but they were very weak last night.
Başakşehir will come out of the group as a leader if they continues to play like this.

Sivasspor won the match with the only difference. They made good use of the penalty.

There is such a great dominance by Basaksehir in Group A now.

Today they had a home match against Fiorentina and to be honest I was expecting it to be very competitive. It was very likely to end up with a draw I mean and the odds were even favouring Fiorentina by a slight difference. However Basaksehir had an amazing match by winning 3-0. Fiorentina didn't even have many serious goal chances. After it became 2-0 and they got a red card they found two chances but wasted both of them generously. Basaksehir had really great organizations for the goals. Serdar Gurler's second goal was really funny by the way.  Grin I don't know what Gollini was aiming to do there instead of kicking the ball quickly.

There is not many surprising result in this round, unlike in Europa league. Biggest surprise for me is Pyunik win 2:0 against Slovan. I considered Pyunik as weakest team in group, so, this result may mix lot of things in this group. Basaksehir unexpected easy beat Fiorentina 3:0. Didn't watched game, but from stats it looks like not most exciting match without many dangerous moments. Not the best start of tournament for Viola, jst 1 point after 2 games.
I expected that Slavia will beat Ballkani much easier than they did. Ballkani were leading twice, but Slavia managed to respond fast. All 5 goals were scored in 1st half. while 2nd half belongs to Slavia completely.
Disappointed about Zalgiris loss. They were not that far away from reaching draw with group favorites Basel.

lot of matches, but I am looking at group where my Partizan is, and we are losing home against Nice, conceived in 2nd minute, and it will probably stay that way until the end
Slovacko on the other hand scored two in second half, to equalize against Koeln, and it is 2:2 there (interesting team Slovacko, first round played 3:3 with us in a very dramatic match)

and while writing, two goals, Koeln is up 3:2, and Partizan scored for 1:1, total game changer
Cologne was playing very good till to the halftime with 2 scored goals , but the missed the the first minutes in the second half and got the draw.
The game changer was a 3 Players change from Cologne and that i think has done the difference and they scored 2 more Goals .
I watched it live and it was an nice interesting game with a german win.

Nice has made a mega transfers this season but seems like they dont work so good, they have a stars team for the league they play but dont seems good at all.

The games pass and they dont seem to be in good shape, their strugle so much to reach the group stages of this tournament, and now their keep struggling with teams of lower tier.

Yeah our Partizan ended in a draw and im pretty sad about it we were much better then Nice and had amazing chances to score. Ricardo Gomes missed big chance in the end of the match and could have got us those three points. But Diabate is one of the best wingers in this tournament and im surprised how well he is playing for Partizan.

^ Well, betting away on teams above 25/10 odds would work for anyone so far with the first round of games, most notably Dnipro who were at least 4/1 to win, as well as Basel and Sivasspor also 4/1 min, even handicaps on Molde above 2/1 would have gotten great value.

16 goals in the first half from 8 games, this is the league to watch hahaha.

3 days away to the next round of games, I don't think any were affected unlike their bigger brothers.

It's almost impossible to choose a sure bet here. We've got teams like Villareal and West Ham who are doing terrible in their last games, so playing away too makes them seem like good value from odds?

Always have to account for teams doing badly in the league to make up for it in Europe.

Fiorentina though hahaha.

Well , West Ham had a non penalty and from there they snowball over FCSB and won by 3-1 but without that penalty I would say that FCSB would have scored another one and end it up with 2-0 from them but what can I say ? FCSB is a small team so they shouldn't win...it's a big scandal here in Romania regarding that referee.

Fiorentina ...what a disappointment they are this season in both Serie A but also conference league when they couldn't beat HJK...

See, this is why I think Conference and Europa is so fun, especially as it's the only time I'll get to hear shit like this.

Where I come from we do have Asian champs league and a smaller cup competition (you could call it a Conference minus all the cash prizes) and I swear sometimes it's much more passionate than the actual FIFA/AFC grand competitions Wink

Anyway, I'll have to dig in properly for next round of matches, get some joy from HT scores maybe seems like big teams leave it late or leave it early!
