Well this odds are just too good to be missed IMO. Yes CSKA are a huge favorites here for sure but Botev Plovdiv is lately showing some very good performances. They have 3 losses at the last 7 games but all of them were a close ones. From Slavia Sofia 2-1, Botev Vratsa 1-0 and from Ludogorets 2-1 this shows that their performances are not that bad. At the first leg which finished 0-0 they also showed solid performance especially at the back (defense) . Give all of the circumstances there is good value at this one. Botev should focus more on defending this one too and I don't think they will give up that easily.
Away from home, Huddersfield have won just one of their last five, losing three of the other four.

Saint-Maximin: It's really important for me [to volunteer at a food bank] because I know where I come from. I wasn't born with money or a big car, I was born with nothing. Even if my parents were in a good situation they would always say 'you have to go and get everything, even if I could give you money and nice things I won't because you have to understand that life is difficult'. I know I have to take care of people sometimes.
SC Kriens are in a better form than Stade Lausanne Ouchy at this time of the season. Specifically, SC Kriens won the last 5/6 matches at home, won the last 5/8 matches, won the last 4/5 matches, won the last 3/5 matches at home. And Stade Lausanne Ouchy has lost the last 3/5 matches, the last 5/10 matches away, did not win the last 3/5 matches and did not win the last 6/10 matches away. Therefore, SC Kriens will probably enjoy the full joy against Stade Lausanne Ouchy in this confrontation.
The amount of people that get us mixed up, it's strange, but we just do what we have to do and make sure people know we're the most successful team in Southampton," vice-captain Kellie Warren told BBC Sport. In the back of our minds, we're so proud to say we're a team that have won it eight times. Hopefully the future holds good things for us as well as the other clubs. But it doesn't really get spoken about that much in the dressing room because, this season, in terms of our cup run, we see it as this is the furthest we've been in the competition in our recent years as Southampton Women's FC.
This is a match from Egypt elite league where I hope that we can see at least two goals and with a little luck and more than that. In last two matches in league, Santa is not played too good and they are won in those duels, just one point, 2-2 and 0-2. On the other side, ENPPI is in much better form than rival and this is a team who is without defeat in more than ten matches in a row. In last two, this team is won 2-1 and 2-1. As I said before, at least two goals are very real.

Paper Round’s view: If Traore continues to improve then it is not inconceivable that he might squeeze into Spain’s squad for Euro 2020. If that happened then bigger clubs might decide to take a look at him and see if he could be prised away from Wolves, especially if they could offer him Champions League football.
Trailing by a goal from the first leg, Spurs have a tough task on their hands to overturn the deficit at the Red Bull Arena. Jose Mourinho started off his reign as Spurs boss cheerfully but that has quickly given way to his trademark politicised pessimism. Speaking ahead of their Premier League and Champions League commitments, Mourinho said that he would only be focusing on one game.
With his header against Southampton, the English midfielder has scored in each of his past three Premier League games for Newcastle to make it six goals in 12 appearances.

Although Wolves and Leicester are not 'Big Six' teams, but Wolves and Leicester are two of the most interesting names in the Premier League. At the moment, the "Wolves" Wolves are ranked 9th on the English Premier League, while the position of the "Foxes" Leicester is 3rd - after Liverpool and Man City. Wolverhampton only won 1 of the last 5 matches. They have also been eliminated from the FA Cup and Manchester United Cup by Manchester Utd. This enabled the "Wolves" to completely focus on the Premier League. Leicester also have only 1 victory in the last 5 matches. An interesting similarity of these 2 teams.

Kane has scored 181 goals for Spurs in all competitions -- averaging 30 goals a season since his breakthrough into the starting lineup in 2014 -- but he is yet to win a trophy with the London club.

I think it shows how strong the squad is that we had to rotate the squad through the week and still put in a performance like that. I always say to them don't ever think it's an easy decision for me to pick who's starting because they put pressure on. Ella] Toone gets five goals, plays well and she gets left out.
The hosts should prove way too strong for the guests who I would give them 50-50 chances to score a goal here because I do not really see them having too much of the ball or attacking at the same time if they do like last season and merely try to do damage limitation they should still be conceding quite a couple of goals as Ajax is scoring a lot of goals in recent home games at this reserve level so I trust that the hosts can cover this asian handicap bet here and odds are not that bad to be taken.
Given four Liverpool players are in the top six, we're not convinced. Also, where's Raheem Sterling?! Disgusting if true.
