Bukomir's Predictions

Stadion Pasienky

Slovan v Apoel

ko 19:45 GMT

I had a wining shot at UEFA Champions League qualifications yesterday and it tastes good. Another betting pick loaded today with a huge possible return for your stake. Ready? Go.

Last game

Slovan held Apoel in the first leg for a goalless draw, which gives the team a clear advantage at home. As both domestic championships are in a very early phase or even not started yet, I won't take the local results in consideration.

My thoughts

I know 0:0 can be a tricky first leg result but in that case it means to me Slovan had the job almost done and now just need to perform at their usual best in front of the fans. Apoel have lost their chance at home and it will be a mountain to climb to produce any shocking result here - Slovan have the experience and the home ground on their side. I am a bit concerned about the odds that all of the bookies put on the game today - not a clear favorite on paper, but that only makes the price unusually tasty.

I expect a solid performance by Slovan Bratislava here and they must use the momentum and progress in the competition. However, I will back up my bet a bit and instead of going with a straight bet on winner, I will use the "To Qualify" option in bet365, which will double my money.

Bet selection:
My betting instincts are shouting Slovan to qualify here and the price of 2.00, offered by bet365, is a reward, indeed.

LOST, 0:2

Bookmakers of choice:
This season I will use mainly the following bookies to bet on UEFA Champions League as I find them secure, trusted and user friendly:

bet365 or Bet-at-home.
