Update! Rosenberg have dropped their top striker, but aside from that field a strong side. 11/2 is worth a punt…
Porkers Picks wont stray far away from their home in Scotland… but we have some knowledge now on the Rangers and Celtic groups and I smell some value…
Celtic… too short. They should go and win in Rosenborg who will play a weakened team to save for their weekend cup final but 4/6 is too expensive for me. I may even be tempted into a small flutter on Rosenborg once we see the teams…
Rangers on the other hand we get at 5/2 on their home patch. To be fair to the huns, they have been in top form in Europe, and could have potentially won every game they have played so far. Villareal have struggled in the Spanish league and in Europe, with no away wins thus far. 5/2 seems generous.
I also like Salzburg in the battle of the Red Bulls. They are a top side. In their last 32 games, they have drawn only 4 – and won the rest. Unlucky not be in Champs League after being knocked out on away goals after dominating both legs. OK – Austrian league is not the Bundesliga, but they have already won all 4 Euro ties including beating Leipzig in Germany, so not sure why they are 2/1. Only concern is if they field a weakened team, but potentially the could still not qualify so I’d expect they want to finish the job here.
2 points – Rangers @ 5/2
2 points – Salzburg @ 2/1
1 point – Rosenberg @ 11/2
