Champions League Qualifying Games
The second leg of Champions League second round qualifying matches take place tonight and there are some decent betting opportunities available.
Irish Champions Bohemians cause a bit of an upset last week when they secured a 1-1 draw in Austria against Red Bull Salzburg. Bohemians played well and just about deserved the draw. We are rather surprised after that display to find Bohemians available at odds of 7/2 (Bet365). Maybe the bookmakers think Salzburg had a bad night and are far better than their display at home showed , but we think 7/10 (Paddypower) is poor value.
We would advise laying Salzburg as a draw 13/5 (Skybet) is the very best we think they will achieve. We are tipping Bohemians to get a win and think a bet on a 2-1 correct score at 14/1 (Coral). A bet on the over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (Paddypower) also looks as if it could provide us with a winner.
Northern Ireland Champions Glentoran had a torrid time in Israel last week going down 6-0 to Maccabi Haifa. With the tie all but over Haifa may take their foot off the gas and with Glentoran always putting up a fight at home we’re tipping the draw 5/2 (Ladbrokes) in this match. The correct score of 1-1 6/1 (Coral) is a bet we can see coming up.
Despite being hot favourites to win in Poland last week it was a last gasp goal that gave Wisla Krakow a 1-1 draw against Estonian champions Levadia. As Krakow need to score to go through this could be an open game and for that reason we are tipping them to win by 2-1 7/1 (Bet365). Krakow are 8/11 (Coral) to win the match.
We thought Kalmar would win in Hungary against Debrecen last week, but two late goals have given the Hungarian champions something to hold on to. It will be a tough ask to overcome a two goals deficit, but we think Kalmar are capable of scoring a few goals and so we’re tipping a home win 4/7 (Skybet) with a 4-0 scoreline 33/1 (Ladbrokes).
The FC WIT and Maribor game is still finely poised after a 0-0 draw in the first leg. We’re siding with the well organised Georgian champions WIT to get a narrow away win 10/3 (Paddypower) with a 1-0 scoreline 9/1 (Coral).
Ventspils lead 3-0 from their first match and they can get a few more goals again in Luxembourg against F91 Dudelange. The half time/full time result of Draw/Ventspils is worth a bet and we think a 3-0 correct score bet 10/1 (Bet365) should give us a
Winner.
