I don't think there were many surprises in the conference league games, more or less always the favorites won. I don't think I could have predicted that only Braga would concede so many goals. There weren't many goals in the other games anyway. Except for 2 games, all the other games ended with 1-0 wins. Lazio managed to win the match despite being down to 10 men early. This was important for them.

what was the game looked out, saw just a score, being on a small vacation wasn't able to watch it, but will be at home to hear stadium crowd in a re-match

after losing 0:4 in Serbian league, I didn't expect us to shine there, but obviously we sacrified domestic league, where are chances for a title are low, for European competition

interesting enough, this was third match in a row against Sheriff where we won 1:0

Nice win, but even nicer to see that coreo from the Turkish fans. I recognize quite a few countries there, it is a tragedy actually what happened and a wake up call for the country, just like in our countries whenever disaster happens to think about long term safety and construction quality. Amazing thank you for sharing

Back to Partizan, was the result correct or did Sheriff deserved a point? Seems not so long ago when they were terrorizing Real Madrid!

Look at choreo that Trabzonspor fans made. It's beautiful and very emotional. On helmet there is flags of countries which helped Turkey. Also, in the stands there was many flags of other Turkish clubs. Country got united after this huge tragedy and it's nice that Trabzonspor won this game.
I have no idea what happened to Braga, I saw them as favorites, but they're already eliminated after 1st leg - 0:4 at home. Seems that red card heavily affected game.
Won my bet on Partizan, but Sheriff were much better than I expected. Bodo/Glimt dominated game, but didn't managed to score, 0:0 is great result for Lech considering all factors.

For fuck's sake Braga...had them in multiple selections, DNB, DC parlayed with AEK and of course to qualify for the next round which is looking close to impossible after 0-4.  



I decided to put a few bucks on Sheriff and Partizan's Over after finding out that the game would be played without spectators, thought the Moldavians had UEFA ban or something....it turns out:

Thanks for the insight, I couldn't possibly have remembered these ties from last year, something tells me Dnipro is the hidden dark horse, although I usually never bet on teams that don't have match fitness.

I actually did well on some betting last night, so if I'm bored at HT, and depending on early Europa game outcomes, I might check back here for live betting and pick favs who are down a goal, since you brought up the HT goal tallies! I do recall before the break that there were plenty of goals in this league. That's always great value and I still have a boost to use up. If Cluj is somehow ahead also at HT, then I know where my hedge goes!

Trabzonspor are going to host Basel today. It is going to be the first sports event to be played in Turkey after the earthquake disaster happened on February 6. The arch rivals of Trabzonspor made a statement about their support to Trabzonspor today. It was valuable because of its not being seen much in Turkey. Besides Trabzonspor has stated that they will donate the total revenue they get from this match to earthquake victims.

So, does anyone is going to watch Conference league today when there is some big games in Europa league. Braga - Fiorentina might be interesting, but La Viola is struggling a lot this season, while Braga is very solid. 2.50 for Braga ML is bargain IMO.
Also, I see value in betting on Partizan. Sheriff will play at empty stadium, they didn't had official games since November, had just 2 friendly games and haven't achieved win there.
Trabzonspor - Basel. It will be first game for Trabzonspor after terrible earthquake in Turkey, it might not easy for them emotionally to play.

Looking ahead to tomorrow's matches, i think there are two standout outrights to be had, AEK Larnaca and Braga qualifying for the next round. AEK and Dnipro met last summer, and AEK won both games to make the Europa League group stages. Dnipro has not played a competitive match since November and are forced to play their home fixtures at a neutral site. As for Braga and Fiorentina, the Portuguese are having a solid season and are only two points behind second-place Porto, whereas Fiorentina is in such poor form heading into this match. La Viola has the easiest Coppa Italia semi-finals matchup with Cremonese one could ask for, so that should be their focus rest of the season...i really don't expect them to do much against Braga. I will most likely end up with both AEK and Braga DC parlay on top of the outrights that i will also have.

Qarabag and Gent is one other match that caught my attention, Gent conceded 3 goals in each of their last three games in Belgium, Qarabag tends to play offensive footbal, so yeah, by simply putting two and two together...there could be goals here, btts and O2.5 quite tempting!

For those who want to get a little more creative with their bets, at this stage of the tournament last year, there were first-half goals scored in 7 of the 8 matches played, and 7 of the 8 away teams conceded a goal.

Wake up, boys and girl. Europa Conference starts again. I might actually get to see a couple of games just to re-familiarise myself with teams again. My eye is on Cluj, who are 10/1 to beat Roma at home. Probably not the best bet to take on paper, but Mou's team has had a stuttering 2023, winning only once in the last four games, while Cluj themselves have been losing the last two games.

Something has to give and I think it's a Romanian upset.

For me Braga - Fiorentina is most interesting pair. It's like Europa league level, remaining pairs is Conference League. Lazio got Cluj, it's got draw for them. Partizan probably should be happy after getting Sheriff.
But if you're not fan any of these teams, I doubt that someone will tune in Conference league when we have such games like Barcelona - MU in Europa league.

also the eighth finals in the conference league were drawn today. in the graphic below you can see the pairings
the first legs will take place on 16.02. and the second legs on 23.02.

actually, with a draw we could not end up eliminated, if Koeln won, Nice would be out

nevertheless, Partizan was playing really bad, and this go through is just because we won over Koeln two times

@buwaytress, as i mentioned, it was no value bet @1.5, too important match for us, and we were mostly defending draw, not attacking

@Joca97 @casperBGD @Pulsar77

I went on a 15-leg acca for this, and was actually only let down by 2 teams. Partizan (I went ML instead of goals, when I should have) and Slavia Prague.

Of course I wasn't expecting to win the ticket so will only half blame the team so many of us fell for.

Shamefull play in the end from our Partizan,they leaded the entire match and ended in a draw 1-1. We played like cowards and we dont deserve honestly to go through but we went as second. We had a huge chance to be first and we didnt take it. Things need to change really fast if we want to beat someone in the playoffs

I only made 3 bets on today's match, I won 2 and lost 1

West ham vs FCSB = I win (according to predictions, west ham won well, fornals made 2 goals in this match and 1 goal was created from an own gold FCSB player).

Fiorentina vs RFS = I win (it's not difficult for Fiorentina to win this match even the first goal was created in a short time and all of Fiorentina's goals were scored in the first half).

Villarreal vs Lech Poznan = I lost (the result of this match was beyond prediction, at first I was very sure that Villareal would be able to win but in fact, it was reversed, Villareal was unable to beat the home team).

Lech destroyed Villarreall 3:0. And probably such result isn't very surprising. Villarreal already had 1st place, while for Lech it was do or die game and after this win they go the next round.
Partizan managed stay 2nd after draw with Slovacko. Fortunately for them Koln - Nice game ended 2:2 and it means to Koln got eliminated.
Club from my country Zalgiris got eliminated by Slovan after loss at home 1:2. Sad, but in general, they had decent performance, considering that was their debut in group stage.
Slavia eliminated after group stage, that's big disappontment.

Our representatives came out as leaders from the Başakşehir and Sivasspor groups. Trabzonspor will continue in this league. I look forward to the continuation of the success of our teams.

will be a tough one, and we are in next stage, if we do not lose tonight
even in case we lose, we are in next round, if Koeln does not win

hopefully, we are going to win against Slovacko, since they do not have much to play for, but I would not count on a easy win, and @1.5 is no value bet, IMO (have to say that I do not put money on my teams, so maybe this is also a fact)

Another chance for CFR Cluj to snatch some points today and move further in the competition but it will be tight and a hard battle with Balkani. However, 1 point from this clash won't be enough for them because Slavia will go full attack mode against Sivasspor and most likely will get those essential 3 points but I still believe in CFR to take 3 points. This is our last chance as Romanians to have a team further in Europa competition as we are no contenders for Europa League or UCL so Conference is all we left:(.
