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

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

That said, Liverpool are 2/7 hot favourites to beat Steaua Bucharest on Thursday night, with Torres 9/4 favourite to score first.

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.

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

Fulham 2/1 For Top Half Finish

Fulham 2/1 for top half finish:

‘SPARKY’ SPECIALS:

WILLIAM HILL make Mark Hughes a 2/1 chance to achieve a top half finish with Fulham – and 25/1 to bring in three or more Man City players to the club before the close of the first transfer window. ‘Hodgson is a tough act to follow, but ‘Sparky’ Hughes is already eyeing a top ten finish – and he won’t have the distraction of the Europa League as Hodgson did. However, we make them odds-on to finish lower than the 12th place Hodgson achieved last campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make Fulham 5/1 to finish 12th again this season, 7/4 to finish 11th or higher; 8/13 13th or lower.

Man City: Out With The Old In With The New?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

William Hill are taking bets on how many of Manchester City’s starting XI from the final game of last season will start the first game of this one. With the spending spree set to continue, Hills offer just 13/8 that only 3 or 4 make the line up against Spurs on the 14th of August. With two of the players from City’s 1-1 draw with West Ham having left the club already and a somewhat depleted XI starting the game, Hill’s are offering 8/1 that 8 or 9 start.

“City have made no secret of their desire to bringin players of the highest quality in an attempt to improve on their 5th place last season and they could probably make 3 or 4 starting XIs out of the squad that they have amassed. The odds suggest that Mancini will be keen to blood his new signings against Tottenham,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Of Man City’s Starting XI In The Final Game Of Last Season Will Start The First Game Of This Season?

2 or less 11/2
3 or 4 13/8
5 or 6 11/8
7 or more 11/4

Starting XI in the final game of last season: Fulop; K. Toure; Sylvinho; Zabaleta; Wright-Phillips; De Jong; Vieira; Kompany; A Johnson; Adebayor; Santa Cruz

Torres Odds On To Stay But 7/2 For City Move!

With a number of clubs itching to get their hands on Fernando Torres’s signiture, Hills have opened a book on which club he will represent on the first day of the season and perhaps surprisingly he is 1/2 to still be a Liverpool player. Moneybags Man City are 7/2 and Chelsea 8/1.

“There are very few teams who can afford Torres price tag, as a result we feel that he will remain a Liverpool player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres’ Club On First Day Of 2010/11 Season: 1/2 Liverpool, 7/2 Man City, 5/1 Chelsea, 8/1 Barcelona, 12/1 Inter, 16/1 Real Madrid…..Others On Request….Loan Deals Count

Start First Game: Yes – 1/4; No – 11/4
