Palace 10/1 For Carling Cup Glory On Bad British Night In Europe

Manchester United were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by 7/1 (price to qualify) Crystal Palace and The Eagles are 10/1 to win the Cup with William Hill and 5/4 to qualify from their Semi Final against Cardiff (who are 4/7 to reach Wembley). Manchester City are clear favourites to win the tournament at 5/6 ahead of their Semi Final opponents Liverpool at 6/4.

“With one Championship side guaranteed to be in the Final at Wembley, the two legged Semi between Palace and Cardiff will be an undoubtedly dogged encounter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We do think, however, that whoever wins the other Semi will be in with a fantastic chance of lifting the first Silverware of the year.”

A Tottenham defeat was the culmination for a poor night of British football in the Europa League and their odds of winning the competition have drifted from 9/1 to 20/1 to win the competition. Birmingham and Celtic have also drifted from 50/1 to 100/1 (Birmingham) and 100/1 to 125/1(Celtic). All eyes now turn to the two sides who are playing on Thursday to carry the torch for British football with Stoke the Even money favourites to progress furthest of all the Home Nations sides with Fulham the 15/8 second favourites. Spurs are 7/2 with Birmingham 16/1 and Celtic 20/1.

British Side to progress furthest: 1/1 Stoke; 15/8 Fulham; 7/2 Tottenham; 16/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Celtic

Europa League Specials…rooney Vs. Aguero

Tottenham are the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in this year’s Europa League. Stoke have been impressive in this year’s competition and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites while Fulham are 11/4.

Two British sides (Birmingham and Celtic) are odds on (at 4/11 and 1/8) to fail to make it out of the Group Stage. Spurs appear most likely to be knocked out of the competition at the round of 16 (11/4) along with Stoke (14/5), while Fulham are 11/8 to go out at the round of 32 stage.

Rooney vs. Aguero

Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero both got on the Champions League scoresheet ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday and William Hill make the England striker the 2/1 slight favourite to outscore his Argentinean compatriot. United are 10/11 favourites to win the match at Old Trafford with City 5/2 and the draw 23/10.

“It is likely to be a close match on Sunday and neither team will be wanting to lose their unbeaten record, let alone to their bitterest rivals and it may well take a moment of magic from the two sides’ leading scorers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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.

Hills make Manchester City the 8/11 favourites to be the British side to progress the furthest in the competition, followed by Liverpool at 6/5 and Rangers 10/1. City are the 4/1 favourites to lift the trophy, while Liverpool are the 6/1 second favourites. Rangers are offered at 66/1.

“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.

Champions League: 14/1 British Bonanza

Bookmakers William Hill are offering a Wednesday British Bonanza bet. 14/1 is offered for all three British teams to win with a British scorer in each game. Hills are also offering a market on which game will see the fastest British goal. Tottenham are the 11/8 favourites to score fastest with Rangers 7/4 and Man Utd 15/8.

“With three British sides in action, it is going to be an evening for our patriotic punters to savour. Should all three win with British scorers it will be even sweeter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The game between Tottenham and FC Twente is the 4/1 joint favourite to be the highest scoring game along with the Internazionale vs Werder Bremen game.

On a night that features Tottenham, Rangers and Manchester United, it is surprisingly the Red Devils that are the only team who are not odds-on to win their game. Tottenham are priced at 8/11, with Rangers 19/20. United on the other hand are offered at 7/4 away to Valencia.

“United are struggling at the moment and our punters are preferring to back Rangers and Spurs than put faith in the brittle United defence,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champion’s League Odds:

19/20 Rangers; 16/5 Bursaspor; 11/5 Draw
8/11 Tottenham; 19/5 FC Twente; 13/5 Draw
17/10 Valencia; 7/4 Man Utd; 2/1 Draw

Which British Team Will Score The Fastest Goal: 11/8 Tottenham; 7/4 Rangers; 15/8 Man Utd
