Weekend Football Betting
Sampdoria to beat Cherno More: The Italians did most of the hard the hard work in winning the away leg and should finish the job in the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Utrecht to beat Hammarby: Swedish side Hammarby have reached this stage without ever looking too impressive. This will be their toughest test yet and may just find them wanting.
Blackburn v FK Vetra. Mark Hughes' side effectively ensured their passage to the UEFA cup qualifying stages with a comfortable first leg victory. I can only see more of the same in this second leg at Ewood Park.
Trabzonspor v Otelul. The Romanian side Otelul managed a surprise win in the first leg but will be up against it in Turkey . Trabzonspor managed six goals in their last home match and their fanatical supporters will demand nothing less than a convincing victory, I don't expect them to go home disappointed.
Bet £20 win double on Blackburn and Trabzonspor.
Atletico Madrid v Gloria Bistrita (Intertoto Cup)
Atletico will be smarting from a shock first leg defeat in Romania and will certainly be up for this match. A club of Atletico Madrid 's stature needs to be playing European football and a run in the UEFA cup is important to them. Now that the pressure is on, Gloria might find them a completely different proposition.
Bet £10 on Atletico Madrid to lead at half time and full time....
Lens v Chornomorets (Intertoto Cup)
After a goalless first leg, this tie is still up for grabs. Lens will be favourites on home soil but don't have the luxury of an away goal. Whilst they didn't lose many at the Felix-Bollaert Stadium last season, they did end up with eight draws. I can certainly see the Ukrainians scoring, which would be enough to see them through if they can avoid defeat.
Bet £5 on a score draw.
