You Bet It’s All Rover For Shamrock Already

Tottenham are 1/10 red-hot favourites to beat Shamrock Rovers in Thursday night’s Europa League and William Hill offer 5/1 that Spurs score five or more goals. Rovers are 6/4 to score at any point during the match and 9/2 to lead during the game.

Tottenham are the 7/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in the competition while Stoke are 15/8.

“Tottenham look most likely to secure a spot in the Europa League next season through league position, but a whole host of permutations have blown the race for the final spot wide open,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With three Portuguese sides still in the Europa League (and two of them holding very comfortable leads), William Hill are offering 2/7 that a team from Portugal end up as the winner of the tournament with any other nation offered at 5/2.

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/11 Dynamo Kiev; 2/1 Manchester City

Liverpool/Braga:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Liverpool; 7/1 Braga; 3/1 Draw

16/1 Liverpool to score six or more
2/1 Andy Carroll to score a header
20/1 City to win FA Cup and Europa League

Manchester City Favourites For Europa League Glory But Rangers Face Difficult Portuguese Test

The Europe League has thrown up three very interesting ties involving British sides. Arguably, the most exciting tie sees Rangers take on Portuguese Giants, Sporting Lisbon. The Scottish side are 5/4 to progress, while Lisbon are the 4/7 favourites to make it through to the next round. Liverpool and Manchester City are both 1/12 to qualify against their opponents, Sparta Prague and Aris Salonika.

“Manchester City have spent big in recent seasons and now is the time to repay Sheikh Mansour’s faith with some silverware. The Europa League gives City the perfect platform to announce themselves on the European stage,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With only three representatives left in the competition, Hills are offering 10/1 that two of the sides meet in the final and a double of 66/1 that the Champions League final and the Europa League final are both contested British sides.

Rocky Reds Should Kick-start Season, Red Bull To Give Man City European Wings

Misfiring striker Fernando Torres is looking increasingly disillusioned with life at Liverpool and William Hill are odds on at 8/13 that he will NOT be at the club come the first day of the 2011/12 Premier League season.

That said, Liverpool are 2/7 hot favourites to beat Steaua Bucharest on Thursday night, with Torres 9/4 favourite to score first. Big spending Manchester City are priced at 6/10 to emerge victorious against Red Bull Salzburg, and they are the current 5/1 favourites to win the trophy with Liverpool the 9/1 second favourites, however, Hills offer 11/4 that any team who qualify through the Champions League win the competition. An all English final is priced at 16/1.

Man City are 4/6 to progress further in the competition than Liverpool who are priced at 11/10 to go further than City.

“Torres almost left Liverpool in the summer following a disastrous campaign last season. He looks almost certain to go before the start of next season unless there is a marked turnaround in fortunes. The odds suggest that Liverpool should kick-start their season with a victory tonight,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Europa League Outright: 11/4 Any Team From The Champions League; 5/1 Man City; 9/1 Liverpool; 11/1 Juventus; 12/1 Sevilla; 14/1 Atletico Madrid; 16/1 Porto; 16/1 Villarreal; 20/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 20/1 Borussia Dortmund; 20/1 Zenit St Petersburg; 25/1 Stuttgart; 25/1 CSKA Moscow; 25/1 Napoli; 25/1 Sampdoria; 33/1 Palermo; 33/1 PPSG; 33/1 PSV Eindhoven; 33/1 Dynamo Kiev; 40/1 BAR

Benitez 9/4 For Chop As Liverpool 4/7 To Crash Out Of Champions League

BENITEZ 9/4 FOR CHOP AS LIVERPOOL 4/7 TO CRASH OUT OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

WILLIAM HILL offer 9/4 that Rafa Benitez will leave his job as Liverpool manager before the end of the current season – with Liverpool 4/7 to fail to make the next stage of the Champions League – and 5/4 to get through. ‘With most managers in Rafa’s situation you’d think that elimination from the Champions League at this stage would automatically mean the sack, but until he loses the fans he seems to be safe and although there are murmurings of discontent there is not yet open hostility towards him, which is why he is 1/3 to see the season out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 11/2 THAT RAFA WILL LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE PHIL BROWN LEAVES HULL, AND 1/10 VICE VERSA. ‘Brown seems to have only a game or two to save his job, but if Rafa loses to Lyon and then fails to beat Birmingham in the League who knows what will happen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
