Tonights Champions League Betting
Last night was a mixed bag BMG drew with Cologne 2-2 but the over 2.5 goal
bet served its purpose by coming to the rescue.
Tonight my tip is from the Champions League: PSV Eindhoven to beat
Fenerbache in Group G
These 2 teams are in the same group as CSKA Moscow and Inter Milan and is
one of the tougher groups in this season's competition.
Fenerbache lead the group at the moment with for points after beating
Inter 1-0 at home and drawing 2-2 in Moscow.
PSV have 3 points from their 2 games after losing 2-0 at Inter and BEATING
CSKA 2-1 at home so this is a key game that can shape the group.
In the Dutch league PSV have made a good start with 6 wins and 2 draws in
their 8 matches so far and are 1 point behind leaders Feyenoord at this
early stage of the season, during this time they have won 5 out of 5 home
games scoring 16 and conceding only 1.
Fenerbache are 4th in the Turkish league after an indifferent start to the
season and have a record so far of W4 D4 L1 F13 A8 but the telling stat
for me is that on the road they have yet to win in 4 games with 3 draws
against Manisaspor (14th) 1-1, Bursas or (15th) 1-0, Glenclerbirligi
(13th) 1-1 and a 2-0 defeat at Istanbul BB. The fact that they have failed
to beat 3 mid table sides away from home must be a concern.
These 2 sides meet in the group stages of the 2005-06 Champions league
competition with Fenerbache winning 3-0 at home and PSV winning 2-1 at
their ground.
In all PSV have played 6 Turkish sides at the Philips Stadium and have yet
to lose and I feel that the record will be maintained tonight.
Early team news is that PSV coach Ronald Koeman will be without Ibrahim
Afellay, who has not yet recovered from a broken toe, as well as fellow
defender Manuel da Costa due to an ankle injury and forward Jason Culina
who recently underwent knee surgery.
Fenerbache will have to do without ex PSV forward Mateja Kezman, because
of a groin problem, but Fenerbache coach Zico may call on midfielder
Stephen Appiah, playing again after six months out with a knee injury
So for me PSV to keep up their fine home form with a win at best price 5/6
generally.
Good Luck,
Silverfox.
