Europa league

[Euler]

That's impressive, fairly quiet evening for me on the Europa league.

I didn't trade Benfica's game, just enjoyed it but we have some impressive stats. Since Sept 2009 there was only one home match were we didn't score and yes we are the perfect ltd team

How often do you get 50% of the attendence on a UEFA match from the away team, given the fact that the teams aren't from the same country and how do you account that into the market?

Some pretty interesting matches this evening I thought. Dabbled so far but not got anything special out of it. No real big shocks so far.

43% of Liverpool goals are scored between 80-90 minutes.

All british teams out! All playing at home this evening, not a good show. Not great trading matches really. Not a very lively week on the football markets.

I did ok on the PSG - Benfica match but nothing impressive.

I didn't trade Liverpool - Braga as I had a appointment I couln't miss but it was a shocker! I have to bite my tongue! Braga is an european overperformer so far this season!

3 portuguese teams in this stage is a record so far. It gives me plenty of opportunities

We will be looking for your wisdom in the final stages of the tournament!

Given my previous performance it's a no brainer - simply oppose my opinion.

[CaerMyrddin]

Well, it's to oppose mt opinion

I can't have a fairly based opinion on the foreign teams, I'll just share some raw thoughts.

Benfica had a rough time last game but there were a few problems that should be solved now like Maxi Pereira's injury. I don't fancy Benfica's moment, the team has lost some confidence, but PSV isn't in great shape too.

I'll be expecting goals on this match, simply because dutch teams play a straight forward football and so do we and our defense is somewhat inconsistent.

My main focus will be on an upset, should this happen I'll be backing Benfica for a comeback, it's been common this season.

Porto rarely fails to deliver. I would notice that sometimes they take a long time to score but they are really hard to beat at home. They won the championship this weekend so the confidence levels must be soaring. I was surprised that this game is priced to have more goals then the previous match, I guess the market is taking into account the fact that the russian side usually comes up with good away results.

Braga's recent form is picking up and I really liked the way they are looking forward to this game, but I think they will be wanting to leave all the decisions to the home match. I won't be taking any participation on this match, but if I had, I'd be on the few goals scenario.

Good luck to you all.
