Swansea vs St Gallen betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Neuro

Swansea vs St Gallen betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Swansea started their Europa League campaign with a surprising victory in Valencia as they won with the score of 3:0, although most of the people didn’t give them much chances of staying undefeated in the Europa League opener. However, exclusion of Valencia’s player Ramy in tenth minute determined the rest of the match as Wilfried scored the winning goal in fifteenth minute, while de Guzman and Michu added two more goals in the second half-time."

It was a unexpected victory for them and surely have boosted their morale in front of next tough matches, as the team continued later on with a 2:0 victory away to Crystal Palace. However, they were defeated in a Capital One Cup match against Birmingham on the road later on with the score of 3:1, as coach Laudrup rotated his squad a little. Finally, they are coming from a 1:2 defeat at home against in-form Arsenal last weekend, while their target remains winning this game and making a decisive step towards the qualification to the next phase. Defender Williams continued to be out as he picked up an injury in a match against Liverpool and played only once since then (against Crystal Palace). Hernandez and Monk continues to be out too, while Angel Rangel is doubtful for tonight’s game.

St Gallen, on the other side, is also coming from a surprising victory in the first round of Europa League as they managed to win over Kuban 2:0 at home in the competition opener in a much easier manner than anyone could have predicted. No doubt that their good start increased their target as the team would like to progress to the next stage and will look to stay undefeated while visiting Swansea.

It has to be said that they are in a very good form at the moment, being without defeat in last twelve official matches as the team currently stands at fourth position in the domestic league with a 4-3-2 record and are four points below first placed Basel. They are coming from a 1:0 narrow victory on the road against Grasshoppers in one of the most interesting matches of the round, as they were also a bit lucky not to concede during the game. Visitors are coming without couple of players who didn’t even perform this season, while they will be also without attackers Cavusevic and Lehmann who are also already longer term injured.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Swansea’s last three games in UEFA Europa League.
Even if coach Laudrup chooses to rest a few players, Swansea still has great quality in comparison to their visitors and it will be really big surprise if the Swiss side manages to stay undefeated once again. English side should prevail in a similar fashion to their first round game.

Bet: Swansea -1 Asian handicap

Elfsborg vs Standard betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Neuro

Elfsborg vs Standard betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Elfsborg was quite tragic in their Europa League opening game away from home against Salzburg, as the Austrians got easy 4:0 victory. From the beginning of the game it was obvious that the hosts were far above their opponents and with two goals scored in each half-time they got the precious victory early in the competitions."

With this match, Austrian side showed that they are able to claim the qualification for the next phase, while Elfsborg will have to search for their better luck in remaining five matches. However, it’s obvious the team lacks quality to be very competitive in this competition and it won’t be so much of a surprise in case they end the competition with very few points. They have no real target in the domestic league, as the team is already far away from the European tickets and can use the rest of the matches to filter out their squad for the next season. They are coming from a 1:1 home draw against Helsingborg, match that completed their run to three games without a victory.

Defender Soderberg (18/3 in the domestic league) is out for this game, being very important absentee, while left midfielder Hult (15/1) is also sidelined with a injury. Finally, absent is also striker Keene (22/5).

Standard is coming into this game after a 5:0 morale boosting victory over Cercle Brugge away from home last weekend. It was their ninth consecutive victory, as the team continued to be first at the table with great seven points difference to second placed Club Brugge. However, great start in the season was spoiled with a first round of Europa League and the team will have to improve their performance in Europa in case they want to progress to the next stage.

They have suffered a 1:2 defeat in the first round against Danish side Esbjerg at home, but it must be said that they were better in that game, failing to convert chances into goals, while the visitors scored the second goal in fifth minute of injury time. Everyone in the club is completely straight saying that they have to get the victory over Elfsborg after the defeat against Esbjerg, adding that in case they fight like they did against Cercle, their victory will come along. Experienced striker de Camargo will stay out of this game, same as substitute central defender Ben Haim. This time Standard isn’t expected to experienced any change in the starting eleven as everyone takes the game very seriously.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Standard Liege’s last nine games in Europa League.
With the form behind their back, Standard seems like completely other world for Elfsborg at this moment. Visitors are doing very well, will not try to rotate their squad a lot this time and look like strong favorites against out of form Elfsborg that already showed to less quality for this competition.

Bet: Standard -0.25 Asian handicap

Wigan vs Maribor betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League Neuro

Wigan vs Maribor betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Wigan will play their second European match in the history of the club, first one at home, welcoming Slovenian side Maribor in the second round of the fourth group of Europa League. They got a goalless draw in the first round, playing away to Zulte Waregem in Belgium two weeks ago."

Last Saturday, Wigan lost away from home against Watford, with a goal eight minutes before the full time whistle. They have actually played well, having some chances to score, especially in the second half, while they had no much time to react once they have conceded a goal. With this defeat, they completed a run of five consecutive away matches without a victory, but what’s worse is that the run is also without a goal scored, while they suffered four defeats. However, much better performances are presented at their own ground, while the team still can’t be satisfied with their entrance in the new season, at least when speaking about the Championship.

Hosts continue playing with couple of players out the ones that didn’t play from the beginning of the season, but also without midfielder Maloney (5/3 in Championship) and striker Grant Holt (5/2). Doubtful is left back Crainey (7/0) with a neck problem.

Maribor suffered a heavy home defeat in their Europa League opener as the Russian side Rubin Kazan showed to be way more superior to them earning a 5:2 victory in Slovenia two weeks ago. The difference between two sides was evident as the visitors had the upper hand throughout the whole ninety minutes and got a fair victory.

Since that defeat, Maribor started showing weaknesses in the domestic league too, as they firstly lost to newly promoted Zavrc 1:0, but then only drew at home to Velenje 1:1 and finally, suffered another defeat last weekend going down to Koper 2:1 away from home. Still, the team managed to hold on the first position in the league with a 7-2-2 record, being tied with already mentioned Zavrc. The team isn’t playing the same football they did at the start of the season, as coach Ante Cacic got replaced by Ante Simundza few days ago. Visitors have no fresh injury worries or problems for this trip, as some of their players are back to the team in comparison to the Europa League premiere against Rubin.

Maribor have lost their last four matches in Europa League.
Maribor is nowhere near their old form from Summer and even if they were, it’s hard to see them walking away with something here. Their real quality was seen in a game against Rubin and hardly the new coach will be able to change anything so quickly.

Bet: Wigan -1 Asian handicap

Kuban vs Valencia betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By DamirJ

Kuban vs Valencia betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Kuban was defeated in the first round of Europa League from St Gallen away from home in a clear and fair manner. They were limited to a passive role, couldn’t threaten the opponent and stood without a reply once they conceded goals leaving the stadium with bowed heads."

Not only their start in the Europa League was poor, but Kuban is in complete downtrend in recent weeks. They are currently at eleventh position with just one victory in last five matches, while they aren’t playing charming football, although the club has a quality roster while the coach Munteanu doesn’t feel that safe at the bench anymore. Management of Kuban supports him, but is also waiting positive results from the roster. They will be weakened as one of the most important players, ex midfielder of Marseille, Charles Kabore is suspended following his red card in the first round of Europa League against St Gallen. Winger Rabiu is still injured, while their lineup is expected to be changes comparing to previous matches.

Valencia, on the other side, didn’t show a great performance in the previous match they played, showed little and threatened also little, however still managed to overpower Rayo Vallecano at home with the narrow 1:0 victory. Only goal was scored by Jonas in 37th minute, while they could feel lucky to have played the game against one of the poorest sides in Primera.

With this result, team of Miroslav Djukic, completed the run of three consecutive victories in Spanish league and have climbed up to the top six in the standings. After a poor start, it seems that the team is on a right path now and getting victories even when not playing completely satisfying. They have started the Europa League with a 0:3 defeat at home against Swansea, in a game they were left with a ten men from tenth minute. In case the Spanish side wants progress to the next stage, they have to get the victory here and that’s what their target will be. Defender Rami is suspended for this game being sent-off in the previous match, while the visitors will also be without goalkeeper Diego Alves who got injured in the previous game against Rayo. Helder Postiga is doubtful and will probably no recover in time to play in Russia.

Valencia have lost their last 3 matches in Europa League.
It seems that Valencia has finally started getting victories and are back on the right path and surely should be set at least a slight favorite here. Draw can’t be excluded, but the Spanish side should be much closer to get the victory during the game.

Bet: Valencia (0) Asian handicap

Genk vs Thun betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Gustav

Genk vs Thun betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Genk is coming from a moderate performance last weekend as they defeated Mechelen with the score of 1:0 at home. Only goal was scored in 50th minute with a ex player of Mechelen, midfielder Gorius. Despite the fact that they have won, coach wasn’t satisfied with the performance, saying that they have encountered several problems in offensive part of the game."

Still, that victory saw them extending the run of undefeated matches to nine, as they have experienced only two draws, playing equally good on the road too. In the first round of Europa League, they made a surprise winning over Dynamo Kiev 1:0 in Ukraine. Once again midfielder Gorius scored the winning goal, as the Belgium side made one of the biggest surprise in the first round. Now, after a victory in Kiev, their target’s got bigger as the team understands that they can get the qualification to the next phase in case they don’t underestimate Thun tonight. In case of a victory, they will be much closer to the progress in a next phase.

Striker Mboyo (7/4) and defensive midfielder Hyland (9/0) are unavailable due to injuries, while the team continues with a 4-4-2 formation and attack being logically lead by Vossen, Ojo and De Cuelaer.

Thun also managed to get the victory in the first round over Rapid from Austria with the result of 1:0 at home, in the first mutual match in history of the two clubs. The game itself wasn’t very interesting, but Thun still managed to make better opportunities and most important, scored the goal as they looked like being closer to get the victory through the ninety minutes.

However, the team has no victory since then, as they lost to Grasshoppers and Basel in next two matches in domestic league, while they got the draw in the last weekend’s game against Luzern 1:1 on the road. Even in the previous match played, they were lucky to equalize against Luzern, as it was individual action of their striker Martinez. Major problem for their coach Fischer is that the team lacks of credible substitutions and that the team will have to being with the same starting lineup like in previous matches, getting already enough fatigue. Central defenders Schindelholz and Schenkel are out, same as left back Schirinzi and defensive midfielder Battig.

Genk is undefeated in last nine official matches.
Thun have won six of their last seven matches in Europa League.
Genk have won their last three matches in Europa League.
Genk is much more of a team that Thun will be this season and in front of their own fans, they should get a easy victory over a Swiss team. Visitors don’t have such a rich roster to compete in Europe and will hardly stay competitive in a game against offensive Genk.

Bet: Genk Wins

AZ Alkmaar vs PAOK betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Isaiah

AZ Alkmaar vs PAOK betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "AZ Alkmaar didn’t give a good performance in the first round of Europa League, as they visited Maccabi Haifa, but still managed to overpower Israeli side with a 1:0 result. Only goal came in 71st minute by Gudmundsson as neither of two sides trying too much and didn’t show much of  a creativity during whole ninety minutes."

Right after that victory, they lost in the domestic league to NAC Breda 3:0 away from home, however improved their morale with a 4:1 victory in a Cup game over Sparta Rotterdam in a Cup game seven days ago, however they needed extra-time to overpower the opponent and net three more goals. Finally, real, great face from the team was shown in last weekend’s victory over PSV at home in one of the most interesting games of the round. They celebrated 2:1 victory with goals from Viergever and Johnasson making a huge surprise, while the team currently stands eight at the table with thirteen points earned, only two less than leading trio Twente, Heerenveen and PSV. However, only one day after winning over PSV, coach Verbeek got sacked and Dennis Haar was installed for a new technician.

Hosts continued without central defender Wuytens (7/0) and left back Gorter (1/0), while recent acquisition striker Babalj is also out injured.

PAOK, on the other side, needed last minutes of the game in order to overpower the group outsider from Khazakhstan, Shakhtar Karagandy with the 2:1 score at home. Visitors took the lead from a non-existent penalty early in the second half, but the Greek side still managed to pull out a victory without playing much more fluently in attack.

Athanasiadis brought back them into the match with a equalizer fifteen minutes before the full time whistle, while the Greeks took full advantage of visitors staying with a man down. Seven minutes after getting into the game, substitute attacking midfielder Vukic made 2:1, two minutes into the injury time. After the victory in the first round, they are already much closer to the next phase of Europa League which remains the target for the Greek side. PAOK is coming from a 1:1 setback away to OFI, as the team currently has three points less than first placed Olympiakos. No important and fresh injury worries for visitors.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in PAOK Thessaloniki last four games in Europa League.
Open game is expected from both sides, as AZ prefers attacking style at home, while PAOK should surely be very dangerous on the counter attacks and both teams to score at least a goal should be the safest choice in this match.

Bet: Both teams to score
