 @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 Wink


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 Smiley

keeping fingers crossed for Slovacko to take at least point in France, Nice is playing under1.5

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...

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. 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 Cool

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.

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.

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

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.
