Tuesday Night Picks
by Wakuba on Nov.24, 2009, under Selections
There are Coca-Cola and Champions League games this midweek, and here are our best selections from them…
Bournemouth v Dagenham and Redbridge
We opposed Bournemouth against Torquay last time out, only for them to get a breakaway clincher with Torquay dominating. Dagenham have been going great guns this season and their recent defeat to Rochdale seems to have inflated their price somewhat – 11/4 seems a little big.
Dagenham @ 11/4 (widely available) – 2 points
Fiorentina v Lyon
A draw suits both of these teams, and in that situation usually represents good value. This is no exception.
Fiorentina v Lyon Draw @ 23/20 (Totesport) – 2 points
Debrecen v Liverpool
In one sense the pressure is off Liverpool here, as they are reliant on a favourable result in the Fiorentina game. However, the number of goals they score in this game directly impacts how many they need in their next game to ensure qualification should it go their way. They will undoubtedly go for it, and if they do, there is a strong possibility they could destroy Debrecen. The prices reflect that unfortunately, the best bet is arguably:
Liverpool -1.5 @ 1.8 (Betfair) – 2 points
Arsenal v Standard Liege
Arsenal’s home record is outstanding, scoring 33 goals in 10 matches so far this season while conceding only seven. Liege are poor away from home, and have only scored three in their last five. This is likely to be a goalfest; we’ll take the same bet as above.
Arsenal – 1.5 @ 1.83 (Betfair) – 2 points
