The draw for Europa League knock out phase has now taken place, so let’s have a look if we can find anything else to add to our Anzhi selection.

Speaking of Anzhi, they have been drawn against Hannover, who are currently sitting in mid table in the Bundesliga. They should navigate those German waters and that would leave them with a last 16 fixture against either Newcastle or Metalist. I have no qualms about them facing either of those two.

So, the draw. I was sweet on Lyon’s chances coming into this but they have been drawn against Spurs and if they get through that, it’s either Inter or Cluj. That’s four tough matches to get through, so one has to pass. 

What you want is a team who have an easyish draw to begin with, a relatively straight forward Round 16 match and I think we have found us exactly that, step forward Napoli. They face Czech side Plzeň who shouldn’t be too much of a problem and then it’s either BATE or Fenerbache, two teams are not a patch on Napoli. Given the ease of their draw, it’s somewhat surprising that their odds haven’t been slashed more than 18/1 that’s offer (with BlueSq) to lift the Europa League Trophy in Amsterdam.

They are more than double the price of Atlético Madrid and that doesn’t seem right to me. Granted Atlético have Falcao in their ranks but Napoli have Cavani upfront who is equally as deadly in front of goal. In fact, at the time of writing this piece, Cavani has scored more goals so far this season than the Colombian. With ½ odds being given for just getting to the final, I’m siding with the Partenopei.

Napoli @ 18/1 BlueSq. 



On a slightly different note, if you're into Golf betting have you heard about www.golfbettingsystem.co.uk ? if not, pull up a chair, grab a brew and let me talk to your ears about them.

These kind gentlefolk give you all the information for the upcoming events such as, past form at the course over the years, current form, predictor models and first round leader stats. Basically, all the information you need to make an informed decision when picking a golf swinger to take less hits of his bat than everyone else, in order to win some dodgy looking trophy and a novelty oversized cheque. Oh and its freemans. Zilch. Nada. Nishmans. And they don’t do too shabby on their tips as well…

Paul Williams deals with the European Tour and was a tidy up a tidy + 41.2 Points for last season. Whilst over on the PGA TOUR ‘bash the bookies Bamford’ as nobody else calls him apart from me, was a whopping +245.6 Points in front for the year.

Not only do they do all that but they also run a ‘punters league’ weekly tournament as well. Each week you pick 3 golf swingers and depending on how they do, you can win a weekly prize of £25 and there’s a £250 overall prize up for grabs. To enter you just need to post your selections on their Facebook page, where you will meet a variety of internet oddballs but don’t worry they don’t all bite (just don’t say you like Lee Westwood – awkward). Sign up, join in and meet the gang…
