Singapore - League Cup: group B
14/06/2016 14:30 EET
Today I have decided to offer match of Singapore. This is the first match of Group B for the League Cup.
In yesterday's matches Group A of this tournament were 10 matches and 4 goals. I expect this match to have a lot of goals.
Traditionally in Singapore marked a lot of goals and tournaments to buy no different than that.
Teams in this match have ended with 3 or more goals in 5 of the last 6 games between them.
In 11 of the last 12 matches Balestier have received 3 or more goals per game. These statistics team at Geylang is slightly worse in 7 of their last 10 matches have received 3 or more goals per game.
Both teams are not among the top in the league, which I think will not want to make an effective match and keep the tradition of previous games in the tournament.

Maribor - Levski Sofia
Europa League - Qualification
14/06/2016 21:00 EET
In a match of the second round of the Europa League Maribor faces Levski.
Maribor failed to become champion of Slovenia and remained in second place. However, they won the Cup of the country and thus qualified for the Europa League.
In the summer to prepare for Europa League held 7 matches, which won only two. Their last fights were against Celtic and Astra, which ended in a draw.
Levski won the 3 to controls, but they were against much weaker teams than those of Maribor.
Levski have serious problems in defense where purchases were made at the last moment. The lack of game preparation and tripping of each newly purchased players will be one of the reasons that will lead to the loss of this match.
Levski failed to make the desired selection!
Levski not conceded defeat in its 4 pre-season controls, but they were against modest rivals. The team won with 3: 1 second division September 3: 2 in the League rookie Dunav Ruse and 1: 0 Black Sea. Record and a zero draw away to 8th Radnik Surdulica in Serbia.
In the last two games against Radnik and the Black Sea that were entirely oriented around play by tactics Maribor, it was obvious that the new Levski will be completely devoid of glamor. Everything will be subject to collective game and the most important thing is to minimize the dangers to their door. The creation of such a rival remain in the background.
Levski coach Lyupko Petrovic told the Slovenian newspaper "Evening": "For the third time back in Levski. But now it is much different than in the previous two times. The team has not found success not only in Europe but also in Bulgaria. The club had entered into a major crisis that has stretched long time. The reason was lack of money. Than a month since the team lead, trying to change things on the pitch. But I realized that you can not take players that I want. I wanted to bring 4-player specific players who I singled out, but I could not do it. So we do not have further strengthened the way I wanted. "
Petrovic praised Slovenian football and said it monitored very tightly: "After the collapse of Yugoslavia in its former republics football has progressed the most in Slovenia, and at least in Serbia. Slovenia has a good championship. Last season the championship was very interesting. Maribor not become a champion, because he made a lot of mistakes at home - which is not permitted in previous years. "
The biggest concern for Petrovich before the game comes from the fact that Srdjan Lukin was injured in the last inspection. Namely Romanian had to partner with Dimitar Pirgov in central defense as Deyan Ivanov did was permanently injured. Now novice will be alongside Alexander Alexandrov, who, however, has only 77 minutes played and is not known well enough with his new teammate.
Worryingly for Lyupko it is that out of clashes with Slovenians are still new popalenie Hean Desa and Mehdi Burabiya. This makes his choice of starting XI very limited.
Maribor is looking forward to the match for the Europa League!
Maribor ended 0: 0 against Celtic in their last inspection. So the team completed its preparations for this season and started - with zero draw. In the first control do so against Mattersburg. The winner of the Cup of Slovenia recorded four draws, two wins over Sturm Graz and Vardar Skopje with 2: 1, and a defeat 2: 3 to Poles Yagelyonya in Bialystok controls.
In Maribor, after cede title last season, changes in the summer and were fairly basic in defense. In Mendi attack was quickly replaced by Nigerian Sunny Omoredzhi and save him from Celje came and captain Blaz Varhovets (defensive midfielder). Brazilian Marcos Tavares begins 10th season of "Shake Lyudski" but his usual partner in midfield Agim Ibraimi left with a scandal in the direction Astana. Now 37 years old Milivoye Novakovic starts last season in his career - in the spring scored 5 goals in 11 games, but perhaps more will often sticks around on the bench.
Maribor coach Darko Milanich said: "The team is in good shape and looking forward to the match of the Europa League. It is important to start the season with success. With his behavior on the pitch should also send signals to the faithful fans to be able to earn their support. We will work hard to make them happy. No problems with new injured players. With injuries are Cotman, Raicevic, Defendi, Ahmed Palchevich. We did a lot of in-depth analyzes of the enemy and we were able to find some of its weaknesses. I expect to play cautiously here. The important thing is to keep the network dry. In tournaments must be effective, we hope to have them. "
Director of Maribor Bojan Ban said: "Maribor always aims high - 13 titles and 9 buy enough talk. Last season was different from what we expected, but left empty-handed (br won the Cup). Now we are waiting for heavy battles in Europe, but the league is in the first place. "
Few goals in the first match between Maribor and Levski
Chief referee of the match will be Cristian Balaj from Romania.
Maribor played just a few days before his last control match with Levski. Winner of the Cup of Slovenia presented his team of their stadium before 3,000 spectators and drew 0: 0 with Scottish champions Celtic. The meeting with Celtic, coach of Maribor - Darko Milanich bet of 11 intends to go against Levski on Thursday. The winner of the Cup of Slovenia managed to record two victories in controls - against Sturm Graz and Vardar Skopje, 3 draws against Magdeburg, Astra and Celtic and 1 defeat of the Polish Jagiellonian dynasty. So the winner of the Cup of Slovenia seems fully prepared for the matches against Levski in view of the serious challengers who met controls. For the first match of Ludski rotates unlikely to see major changes in Maribor. It is expected that the former striker Litex - Milivoje Novakovic remain reserve to be used in a negative outcome after the break.
Levski did not impress in control, recording victories over Dunav Ruse - 3: 2 over September - 3: 1 and over Cherno More - 1: 0. In his only more serious examination Blues failed to defeat Serbian Radnik Surdulica, as a draw - 0: 0. Before the games with Maribor is noticeable tension especially in coach of Levski - Lyupko Petrovic. On several occasions Serb announced the selection is slow and does not have the number of players to start the season. In the camp of blue amongst others there are quite injuries. Since the beginning of the preparations out is midfielder Mehdi Burabiya who has a broken arm. In the last week did injuries received new signing Hean Desa and defender Srdjan Lukin. They almost certainly dropped both meetings with Maribor. Until recently was injured and national Alexander Alexandrov, who, however, was lifted to his feet and started with borrowed Slavia - Dimitar Pirgov in central defense.
Although Maribor is considered a great favorite in the game believe that we can expect equal match on Thursday night. Levski will be supported by many of his fans Ludski spin and is unlikely to be very worried by the fact that a guest. The Blues have a huge trump card in the face of his coach Lyupko Petrovic. Serbian specialist has proven itself in tournament matches and knows how to approach this visit. Petrovic trained many tactical maneuvers during the week and is expected to pick his team to defend and neutralize the strengths of Maribor. In view of this we believe spectacle of Ludski rotates on Thursday evening will hardly have which leads to bet on few goals in the game.
Players in Lyupko Petrovic visit to Maribor in the first clash of the second qualifying round of the Europa League at the stadium "Lyudski Shake."
Serb often complained about the lack of good breeding, his team this time is not a favorite, as usually happened at this stage of the tournament, but nevertheless highly motivated arrived in Slovenia to surprise the hosts. In recent weeks, the old fox Petrovic worked mainly in phase protection as it is aware that a good result, especially without defeat in Maribor, players will be more motivated and more confident in the second leg of the "Georgi Asparuhov" after week and there and walls help.
Three attempts - three losses so far for the "blue" in Slovenia, but in the camp of Sofia citizens believe that it is time these statistics change. Levski has two lesions 2: 3 in 1994 and 1: 0 in 1996 by Olympia (Ljubljana), as well as a 0: 1 by Publikum in 2005. It is this match launched a "blue fairy" which reached the quarterfinals in the UEFA Cup and entry into the Champions League months later.
With today this dream is very distant for the club because thousands of reasons, but "blues" are not doomed. The last European Championships proved it. Therefore experienced Veselin Minev, Bojan Jorgačević and Roman Procházka, who have played such games should help his teammates in difficult moments. The team and complete devotion in every moment will probably be decisive in the battle with Slovenians who feel favorites and are highly motivated because of the lost title after five years of triumph at home and dropping out of the Astana year ago still start in evrokampaniyata.
The success of Levski missing for years, disappointments followed one after another, the selection does not impress this summer, but the desire of the "blue" supporters to support the team in matches from European competition is always great. Over 1,200 Levski supporters will rip throats in Maribor today. For the first time in years, the streets of a city in Europe were inundated by Levski 24 hours before a match. More than 500 fans of 26x more champions on Wednesday arrived in the town, located around the river Drava.
Enthusiasm is among fans and players want to win too. All are aware that Levski is far from what it was years ago in Europe, and is the favorite, but it may prove profitable trump card. With strong support from the stands and full devotion of green terrain, execution of tactical tasks Petrovic, who "surprisingly" are mostly defensive and a little luck, Levski can return with confidence in Bulgaria before the second meeting.
But all this depends on the chosen on Petrovic, who can not wait to step on the field. Many of them are debutants, but their boss Niki Iliev recalled: "In 1983, eight youths removed the pale Stuttgart. Levski have the strength to surprise Maribor and we are not doomed. From this match we can learn a lot."
Notify Red Star to European Cup specialist to last will think about team, considering bet and rookie Simon Sandberg, who is in shape. The problem is that the Swede still do not know his new teammates and the defense is the most important unit in the scheme of Petrovic. Antonio Agnelli's most creative player and rely on him to come up with something against slow defense of the hosts.
Maribor powerful weapon is the attack that bothers coach leadership as Slovenians are dangerous and on the wings and in the middle, and have many alternatives on the bench.
Levski has not started its involvement in Europe with visits from 2007, when departing from Tampere and began the downfall of the big team. In the camp of the local residents hope this time things will turn around and leave the team for the first time with a positive result of Slovenia, which could be very decisive for the near future of the "blue".

KR Reykjavik - Grasshopper
Europa League - Qualification
14/06/2016 22:15 EET
In the preliminary round of the Europa League will be played many games. I stopped the fight CP Reykjavik against Grasshoppers.
The two teams have not met before in an official match.
Home team from Iceland is not in his best form in the domestic league and occupy 10th position with 10 points and goal difference 8:11. They have 4 games ended with over 2.5 goals in their last 6 matches.
Championship Switzerland has begun and it's probably one of the few advantages of the home of Reykjavik. But nevertheless, I think are favorites Grasshoppers.
So far they played three friendly matches and one of them ended with over 2.5 goals. But this is a team that puts a lot.
I thought it would be an interesting match with goals. My prediction is this game is over 2.5 goals.

Beroe (Stara Zagora) - HJK Helsinki
Europa League - Qualification
14/06/2016 20:30 EET
"Green-white" not reached success against Radnik easy. In the debut of Alexander Dimitrov Beroe made 0: 0 at home in the first game but in the second leg forge success with 2: 0 after late goals from Eric Pochanski. Attracted by Lokomotiv (Gorna Oryahovitsa) former youth international inspired Beroe and sent it for a second year in the second qualifying round second strongest European club tournament.
Beroe can cope with HJK Helsinki
Last season at this stage of the tournament Stara Zagora confronted another Scandinavian team - Brondby. Then Beroe Peter Hubchev approaches very cowardly in the first clash again hosted and lost 0: 1, and despite his good game in the second leg in Denmark was eliminated after draw 0: 0. Now Alexander Dimitrov has no right to repeat the mistake of his predecessor. He promised offensive football when coming in Stara Zagora and if his team show it has a chance of success. Beroe will be reinforced by two new players - Radoslav Kirilov and Kohei As that were not included for matches with Radnik.
HIK Helsinki has undergone a real disappointment last season in Finland, having failed to become champion for the first time in 2008 and finished third. The team has 27 titles and is the most successful team in the country. In the current squad can see the names of Taye Taiwo and Mikael Forssell, but they are now quite serious football age and can not show the form from years ago.
In the first qualifying round HJK eliminted Atlantas (Lithuania) with a total score 3: 1. Reference Beroe deal with this opponent last season at the start of the Europa League far more convincingly, eliminating them after wins by 2: 0 and 3: 1. This shows that HIK is not currently terror and will not be easy in Stara Zagora.
Beroe will hardly ventured to act very offensive in the first game and as befits a tournament clash will play more cautiously. Although the protection of HIK was not level against Atlantas and Lithuanians made quite striking gaps hardly Stara Zagora will score many goals as still fit the style of play of their new senior coach. However Beroe played strong defensively and did not leave many chances to Radnik in both matches so predict match with some goals in Stara Zagora.
Green made a strong season last year under the leadership of Peter Hubchev and finished third in the final standings after Ludogorets and Levski, conceding only two losses in 16 households. Lost semi-final of the Cup of Bulgaria CSKA has led to a change of coach at the end of the season and preparing for the new championship was taken by the young tandem Alexander Dimitrov and our hero US 94 Ivaylo Yordanov, who in today's meeting can not rely solely injured Atanas Zehirov and their main concerns are the hot weather and lack of match practice team that has only two competitive games so far this season - in the first qualifying round against Radnik Bijeljina - zero draw in Stara Zagora and convincing success 2-0 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Guests are fairly stable and classy team that in multiple Champion of Finland, and also have players who have played in major European grandees. HIK last season failed to win the title, remaining third, 2 points behind champion Seynyayoen YAK, but this year's race in the Finnish Veikkausliiga is in full swing, and after 16 rounds HIK and IFK Mariehamn are leaders with 34 points with 10 wins, 4 draws and only two losses, but it should be noted that in a foreign land Blue and white have only 3 wins in eight league games, cashed out and the 2 defeats so far. In the previous qualifying round in the Europa League but HIK like Beroe solve everything in his match with Atlantas Klaipeda after a 2-0 success as a guest, then be content with a draw 1-1 in Helsinki today will most likely try to repeat this successful scenario.
Visiting team are in much better condition and sport form, in view of the many matches in Finland this season, while Beroe build a young team with a new coach and is still far from peak form. However, because of its numerous supporters of Beroe promise given to the maximum for a new Euro success, possibly without conceding a goal and I hope again to delight us with their game tonight in the city of lime trees - Forecast 1X (Double Chance).
HJK (Helsinki) could not be terror in Europe, but it is a team with a lot of experience and a few famous names who have touched the football at the highest level. An interesting fact is that the Finns eliminated in the previous round Atlantas (Klaipeda), which was defeated twice by Beroe last year. HJK met more difficulties with Lithuanians and this is another reason for optimism for fans of Beroe.
Alexander Dimitrov will most likely bet up front instead of Radoslav Kirilov another new addition - Alex Kolev. Second position will act powerful Georgi Bozhilov, and wings will attack Nemanja Milisavljević and hero of the visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina Eric Pochanski. In the middle of the pitch as a starter will start the Japanese Kohei By and by he is expected to play Tom. For Beroe it is very important not to concede at home. This will be the main task for the team today. Against Radnik Stara Zagora made a goalless draw at home but then imposed its will as a guest.
HJK has in its ranks veteran Mikael Forssell, who previously wore the team of Chelsea but is now 35 years and is the reserve of the Colombian goalscorers Alfredo Morelos. Another star in the team is Taye Taiwo. Nigerian left-back with the bomb attack caused a sensation with his performances in Marseille and even to Milan, but then his career went down sharply. It Taiwo scored a goal for 1: 1 in the second leg against Atlantas.

Partizan Beograd - Zaglebie Lubin
Europa League - Qualification
14/07/2016 21:15 EET
The Best Years of Serbian giants, is over, but, nevertheless, every year we see the Belgrade club in the Champions League, the Europa League. Last season, Partizan players one wicket conceded the championship to his age-old enemy Red Star. The difference at the finish line was about 15 points, which clearly indicates the strength of the other Balkan Club, which is very likely to continue this year. For two consecutive years, the Serbs play in the group stage of the Europa League, but to do more than just access to the group stage, they can not, is unlikely in this case, especially when you consider not the strongest part of balkantsev.
But for the current opponent - this is a great experience. Polish club finished third in their league, losing to the champion of the read points. Championship in Poland, has been notably added, suffice it to say that the national team of the country in the last European Cup, reached the quarterfinals, where only in a penalty shootout to give way to the future victor of the tournament. Given this, I think, will Zaglebie worthy Serb resistance and try to at least score a field goal so important.
Football betting tip: Home win

Genk - Buducnost Podgorica
Europa League - Qualification
14/07/2016 21:00 EET
In Belgium, as a complex system of conquest of prizes and vouchers in the European Cup, and that sometimes the players themselves do not know whether to take a position. Genk finished last season in fourth place in the tournament champions and made his way to qualify for the Europa League. As shown evrkubkovy last year, the Belgian championship, quite tough and strong competition, so even fourth place in it, makes Genk, the undisputed favorite. In addition to this, I would like to mention another characteristic detail for the championship - a great desire of players to show themselves, and how to more profitable to sell yourself. One last thing worth mentioning about Genk - is that in Belgium, the season has not yet started, but he also did not start and in Montenegro.
But balkantsy have already played in the previous round, where they became a victim of the Macedonian club Rabotnicki (2: 1 on aggregate). Not to say that Buducnost football players looked much stronger, but at this stage, is more important to pass on. For example, could not do last season, they took off from the Latvian Jurmalas, already in the first round, so this is a step forward. Of course, comparing the levels and the possibility of teams, a little incorrect, the Belgians are much stronger and will try our best to solve all the first leg, as in the Balkans, can take anything. But I think the Montenegrins the strength to hold at least the first half.
Football betting tip: 1st half under 1.5 goals

After the championship in 2013, the Viennese club can not return to their former positions, but they regularly play in European competition, so they can be called experienced fighter. Austrians are good to strengthen the defense before the start of the season and plans to wipe the more in this than last year's third place.Albanian club is not as weak as it is painted bookmakers and Austria is not so strong to smash such a hard-nosed opponent who has established himself perfectly in the recent past.

The meeting with Celtic, coach of Maribor - Darko Milanich bet of 11 intends to go against Levski on Thursday. The winner of the Cup of Slovenia managed to record two victories in controls - against Sturm Graz and Vardar Skopje, 3 draws against Magdeburg, Astra and Celtic and 1 defeat of the Polish Jagiellonian dynasty. So the winner of the Cup of Slovenia seems fully prepared for the matches against Levski in view of the serious challengers who met controls. For the first match of Ludski rotates unlikely to see major changes in Maribor. It is expected that the former striker Litex - Milivoje Novakovic remain reserve to be used in a negative outcome after the break.
Levski did not impress in control, recording victories over Dunav Ruse - 3: 2 over September - 3: 1 and over Cherno More - 1: 0. In his only more serious examination Blues failed to defeat Serbian Radnik Surdulica, as a draw - 0: 0. Before the games with Maribor is noticeable tension especially in coach of Levski - Lyupko Petrovic. On several occasions Serb announced the selection is slow and does not have the number of players to start the season. In the camp of blue amongst others there are quite injuries. Since the beginning of the preparations out is midfielder Mehdi Burabiya who has a broken arm. In the last week did injuries received new signing Hean Desa and defender Srdjan Lukin. They almost certainly dropped both meetings with Maribor. Until recently was injured and national Alexander Alexandrov, who, however, was lifted to his feet and started with borrowed Slavia - Dimitar Pirgov in central defense.
Although Maribor is considered a great favorite in the game believe that we can expect equal match on Thursday night. Levski will be supported by many of his fans Ludski spin and is unlikely to be very worried by the fact that a guest. The Blues have a huge trump card in the face of his coach Lyupko Petrovic. Serbian specialist has proven itself in tournament matches and knows how to approach this visit. Petrovic trained many tactical maneuvers during the week and is expected to pick his team to defend and neutralize the strengths of Maribor. In view of this we believe spectacle of Ludski rotates on Thursday evening will hardly have which leads to bet on few goals in the game.
Players in Lyupko Petrovic visit to Maribor in the first clash of the second qualifying round of the Europa League at the stadium "Lyudski Shake."
Serb often complained about the lack of good breeding, his team this time is not a favorite, as usually happened at this stage of the tournament, but nevertheless highly motivated arrived in Slovenia to surprise the hosts. In recent weeks, the old fox Petrovic worked mainly in phase protection as it is aware that a good result, especially without defeat in Maribor, players will be more motivated and more confident in the second leg of the "Georgi Asparuhov" after week and there and walls help.
Three attempts - three losses so far for the "blue" in Slovenia, but in the camp of Sofia citizens believe that it is time these statistics change. Levski has two lesions 2: 3 in 1994 and 1: 0 in 1996 by Olympia (Ljubljana), as well as a 0: 1 by Publikum in 2005. It is this match launched a "blue fairy" which reached the quarterfinals in the UEFA Cup and entry into the Champions League months later.
With today this dream is very distant for the club because thousands of reasons, but "blues" are not doomed. The last European Championships proved it. Therefore experienced Veselin Minev, Bojan Jorgačević and Roman Procházka, who have played such games should help his teammates in difficult moments. The team and complete devotion in every moment will probably be decisive in the battle with Slovenians who feel favorites and are highly motivated because of the lost title after five years of triumph at home and dropping out of the Astana year ago still start in evrokampaniyata.
The success of Levski missing for years, disappointments followed one after another, the selection does not impress this summer, but the desire of the "blue" supporters to support the team in matches from European competition is always great. Over 1,200 Levski supporters will rip throats in Maribor today. For the first time in years, the streets of a city in Europe were inundated by Levski 24 hours before a match. More than 500 fans of 26x more champions on Wednesday arrived in the town, located around the river Drava.
Enthusiasm is among fans and players want to win too. All are aware that Levski is far from what it was years ago in Europe, and is the favorite, but it may prove profitable trump card. With strong support from the stands and full devotion of green terrain, execution of tactical tasks Petrovic, who "surprisingly" are mostly defensive and a little luck, Levski can return with confidence in Bulgaria before the second meeting.
But all this depends on the chosen on Petrovic, who can not wait to step on the field. Many of them are debutants, but their boss Niki Iliev recalled: "In 1983, eight youths removed the pale Stuttgart. Levski have the strength to surprise Maribor and we are not doomed. From this match we can learn a lot."
Notify Red Star to European Cup specialist to last will think about team, considering bet and rookie Simon Sandberg, who is in shape. The problem is that the Swede still do not know his new teammates and the defense is the most important unit in the scheme of Petrovic. Antonio Agnelli's most creative player and rely on him to come up with something against slow defense of the hosts.
Maribor powerful weapon is the attack that bothers coach leadership as Slovenians are dangerous and on the wings and in the middle, and have many alternatives on the bench.
Levski has not started its involvement in Europe with visits from 2007, when departing from Tampere and began the downfall of the big team. In the camp of the local residents hope this time things will turn around and leave the team for the first time with a positive result of Slovenia, which could be very decisive for the near future of the "blue".

KR Reykjavik - Grasshopper
Europa League - Qualification
14/06/2016 22:15 EET
In the preliminary round of the Europa League will be played many games. I stopped the fight CP Reykjavik against Grasshoppers.
The two teams have not met before in an official match.
Home team from Iceland is not in his best form in the domestic league and occupy 10th position with 10 points and goal difference 8:11. They have 4 games ended with over 2.5 goals in their last 6 matches.
Championship Switzerland has begun and it's probably one of the few advantages of the home of Reykjavik. But nevertheless, I think are favorites Grasshoppers.
So far they played three friendly matches and one of them ended with over 2.5 goals. But this is a team that puts a lot.
I thought it would be an interesting match with goals. My prediction is this game is over 2.5 goals.
Football betting tip: Over 2.5 goals

Beroe (Stara Zagora) - HJK Helsinki
Europa League - Qualification
14/06/2016 20:30 EET
"Green-white" not reached success against Radnik easy. In the debut of Alexander Dimitrov Beroe made 0: 0 at home in the first game but in the second leg forge success with 2: 0 after late goals from Eric Pochanski. Attracted by Lokomotiv (Gorna Oryahovitsa) former youth international inspired Beroe and sent it for a second year in the second qualifying round second strongest European club tournament.
Beroe can cope with HJK Helsinki
Last season at this stage of the tournament Stara Zagora confronted another Scandinavian team - Brondby. Then Beroe Peter Hubchev approaches very cowardly in the first clash again hosted and lost 0: 1, and despite his good game in the second leg in Denmark was eliminated after draw 0: 0. Now Alexander Dimitrov has no right to repeat the mistake of his predecessor. He promised offensive football when coming in Stara Zagora and if his team show it has a chance of success. Beroe will be reinforced by two new players - Radoslav Kirilov and Kohei As that were not included for matches with Radnik.
HIK Helsinki has undergone a real disappointment last season in Finland, having failed to become champion for the first time in 2008 and finished third. The team has 27 titles and is the most successful team in the country. In the current squad can see the names of Taye Taiwo and Mikael Forssell, but they are now quite serious football age and can not show the form from years ago.
In the first qualifying round HJK eliminted Atlantas (Lithuania) with a total score 3: 1. Reference Beroe deal with this opponent last season at the start of the Europa League far more convincingly, eliminating them after wins by 2: 0 and 3: 1. This shows that HIK is not currently terror and will not be easy in Stara Zagora.
Beroe will hardly ventured to act very offensive in the first game and as befits a tournament clash will play more cautiously. Although the protection of HIK was not level against Atlantas and Lithuanians made quite striking gaps hardly Stara Zagora will score many goals as still fit the style of play of their new senior coach. However Beroe played strong defensively and did not leave many chances to Radnik in both matches so predict match with some goals in Stara Zagora.
Green made a strong season last year under the leadership of Peter Hubchev and finished third in the final standings after Ludogorets and Levski, conceding only two losses in 16 households. Lost semi-final of the Cup of Bulgaria CSKA has led to a change of coach at the end of the season and preparing for the new championship was taken by the young tandem Alexander Dimitrov and our hero US 94 Ivaylo Yordanov, who in today's meeting can not rely solely injured Atanas Zehirov and their main concerns are the hot weather and lack of match practice team that has only two competitive games so far this season - in the first qualifying round against Radnik Bijeljina - zero draw in Stara Zagora and convincing success 2-0 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Guests are fairly stable and classy team that in multiple Champion of Finland, and also have players who have played in major European grandees. HIK last season failed to win the title, remaining third, 2 points behind champion Seynyayoen YAK, but this year's race in the Finnish Veikkausliiga is in full swing, and after 16 rounds HIK and IFK Mariehamn are leaders with 34 points with 10 wins, 4 draws and only two losses, but it should be noted that in a foreign land Blue and white have only 3 wins in eight league games, cashed out and the 2 defeats so far. In the previous qualifying round in the Europa League but HIK like Beroe solve everything in his match with Atlantas Klaipeda after a 2-0 success as a guest, then be content with a draw 1-1 in Helsinki today will most likely try to repeat this successful scenario.
Visiting team are in much better condition and sport form, in view of the many matches in Finland this season, while Beroe build a young team with a new coach and is still far from peak form. However, because of its numerous supporters of Beroe promise given to the maximum for a new Euro success, possibly without conceding a goal and I hope again to delight us with their game tonight in the city of lime trees - Forecast 1X (Double Chance).
HJK (Helsinki) could not be terror in Europe, but it is a team with a lot of experience and a few famous names who have touched the football at the highest level. An interesting fact is that the Finns eliminated in the previous round Atlantas (Klaipeda), which was defeated twice by Beroe last year. HJK met more difficulties with Lithuanians and this is another reason for optimism for fans of Beroe.
Alexander Dimitrov will most likely bet up front instead of Radoslav Kirilov another new addition - Alex Kolev. Second position will act powerful Georgi Bozhilov, and wings will attack Nemanja Milisavljević and hero of the visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina Eric Pochanski. In the middle of the pitch as a starter will start the Japanese Kohei By and by he is expected to play Tom. For Beroe it is very important not to concede at home. This will be the main task for the team today. Against Radnik Stara Zagora made a goalless draw at home but then imposed its will as a guest.
HJK has in its ranks veteran Mikael Forssell, who previously wore the team of Chelsea but is now 35 years and is the reserve of the Colombian goalscorers Alfredo Morelos. Another star in the team is Taye Taiwo. Nigerian left-back with the bomb attack caused a sensation with his performances in Marseille and even to Milan, but then his career went down sharply. It Taiwo scored a goal for 1: 1 in the second leg against Atlantas.
Football betting tip: Under 2.5 goals

Partizan Beograd - Zaglebie Lubin
Europa League - Qualification
14/07/2016 21:15 EET
The Best Years of Serbian giants, is over, but, nevertheless, every year we see the Belgrade club in the Champions League, the Europa League. Last season, Partizan players one wicket conceded the championship to his age-old enemy Red Star. The difference at the finish line was about 15 points, which clearly indicates the strength of the other Balkan Club, which is very likely to continue this year. For two consecutive years, the Serbs play in the group stage of the Europa League, but to do more than just access to the group stage, they can not, is unlikely in this case, especially when you consider not the strongest part of balkantsev.
But for the current opponent - this is a great experience. Polish club finished third in their league, losing to the champion of the read points. Championship in Poland, has been notably added, suffice it to say that the national team of the country in the last European Cup, reached the quarterfinals, where only in a penalty shootout to give way to the future victor of the tournament. Given this, I think, will Zaglebie worthy Serb resistance and try to at least score a field goal so important.
Football betting tip: Home win
Zaglebie to score
Genk - Buducnost Podgorica
Europa League - Qualification
14/07/2016 21:00 EET
In Belgium, as a complex system of conquest of prizes and vouchers in the European Cup, and that sometimes the players themselves do not know whether to take a position. Genk finished last season in fourth place in the tournament champions and made his way to qualify for the Europa League. As shown evrkubkovy last year, the Belgian championship, quite tough and strong competition, so even fourth place in it, makes Genk, the undisputed favorite. In addition to this, I would like to mention another characteristic detail for the championship - a great desire of players to show themselves, and how to more profitable to sell yourself. One last thing worth mentioning about Genk - is that in Belgium, the season has not yet started, but he also did not start and in Montenegro.
But balkantsy have already played in the previous round, where they became a victim of the Macedonian club Rabotnicki (2: 1 on aggregate). Not to say that Buducnost football players looked much stronger, but at this stage, is more important to pass on. For example, could not do last season, they took off from the Latvian Jurmalas, already in the first round, so this is a step forward. Of course, comparing the levels and the possibility of teams, a little incorrect, the Belgians are much stronger and will try our best to solve all the first leg, as in the Balkans, can take anything. But I think the Montenegrins the strength to hold at least the first half.
Football betting tip: 1st half under 1.5 goals
Austria Wien - Kukesi
Europa League - Qualification
14/07/2016 22:05 EET
Albanians
ponadelali noise last season, reaching the third round of qualifying
and conceded only because of the technical defeat, the current champion
of the Polish championship - Legia. In
last season managed to get Kukes Belarus Torpedo and Montenegro Mladost
Podgorica, which is similar to the Poles, became champions of the
country this year. Already this suggests that balkantsy pretty difficult opponent, which,
coupled with the rise of football in this country, makes to respect
him.After the championship in 2013, the Viennese club can not return to their former positions, but they regularly play in European competition, so they can be called experienced fighter. Austrians are good to strengthen the defense before the start of the season and plans to wipe the more in this than last year's third place.Albanian club is not as weak as it is painted bookmakers and Austria is not so strong to smash such a hard-nosed opponent who has established himself perfectly in the recent past.
Football betting tip: Away win (+2 asian handicap)
