Hey, I'm from the Uk, and am a regular soccer gambler. I've had a few articles and tips published by sports betting sites and magazines over the last few years.
I've noticed that there isn't very much devoted to european soccer here, so I thought I'd post up a thread with a few picks.
So, kicking off with the Uefa Cup
Rangers vs Osasuna @1.90
Rangers have an imperious home record, and Osasuna are indifferent away from hiome in their respective domestic leagues. Rangers have also managed to excell themselves in the Uefa Cup this campaign, and last time out beat Hapoel Tel Aviv 4-0 at Ibrox. Osasuna meanwhile needed an injury time goal to beat a horrific Bordeaux side. Add to this, the fact that Osasuna are missing 8 first team regualrs, including both first choice strikers, and it all points to a home win.
Newcastle vs AZ Alkmaar @2.10
Alkmaar qaulified for this stage with an up and down tie against Fenerbahce of Turkey. The Turks were 3-1 up at home before Alkmaar scored twice late on to tie the game at 3-3. They then went 2-0 up at home, only to be pegged back to 2-2, and qualify on away goals. Newcastle meanwhile blitzed past mediocre Belgian opposition Zulke Wagerem, and are unbeaten in the competion so far (including a 1-0 victory over Fenerbahce) The English sides home record in the Premierhsip is outstanding, and they'll be looking for their 50,000 strong support to help them to gain an early advantage in the tie.
In the first leg of the Champions League matches 5/8 games ended in draws. I expect other games tonight to be very tight, especially
Paris vs Benfica @3.00
Celta Vigo vs Werder Bremen @3.25
