Shakhtar V Benfica [Dec 4 - 19:45]

[vegyjones]

This is almost a penalty kick of a game.
Shakhtar need a win to qualify - anything less and they are out
regardless of how Celtic get on in Italy aginst AC Milan.
It's impossible to make a case for Benfica. They are very much out
of their depth in this group.

SO with almost a free bet on Shakhtar, we may as well have a punt on first
scorer for Donetsk. The two that appeal most are leading scorer
Christiano Lucarelli and Evaeyerson Brandao who has scored two
opening goals for Shakhtar in the last 5 group games.

BETTING ADVICE
10 POINTS Shakhtar to win @ 4/5 [Bet365 / Bluesq / Betdirect / Skybet]
1 POINT Lucarelli First Scorer @ 11/2 [Stan James]
1 POINT Brandao First Scorer @ 11/2 [Bet365 / Betfred / PaddyPower / Skybet / Stan James]

I wouldn't trust them Ukrainians too much.....Benfica could get something from this...

[Win2Win]

...and after your last super duper tip....everyone lump on BENFICA :laugh

[vegyjones]

Merlin was right... I did overestimate the Ukranians.
They'll be kicking themselves anyhow. A win and they would have gone through!

Hoever, they aren't the only ones kicking themselves, I wageres a massive 12 points on them :yikes: :splapme

TOTAL LOSS
- 12 pts

If there's anything in football that is predictable it's that it is unpredictable :laugh

Yeah didnt see that one coming! There is no logic to football at times is there...though Benfica still had the UEFA cup to play for I guess.

[Merlin]

Come on the Swans
