good luck, Flyers!

How about Academica Coimbra, Rio Ave and Nacional Madeira? My Portuguese capper-mate at my bookies store advised me to pick  those, especially Coimbra.

Thanks guys !

Lutz, those are all favorites for tomorrow's games.
They are SuperLiga teams and play at home...still, they should all rest a few 1st team regulars and we always see upsets in Cup games.
They will face 2nd division decent teams trying to make an impression...

...I'd rather stay away from these games but if you feel the price is right, go for it.

Thanks lutz !
It was nice indeed...

...adding Benfica to my Sunday card (I was waiting to see if there were any line moves but no luck...):

Benfica-Guimarães
Benfica the hottest team in Portugal at the moment and surely one of the hottest in Europe (team with more goals scored in official games so far this season in Europe in major leagues...and playing attacking football all the time...) but they will face a very good Guimarães team who recently sacked their coach and has a better one now.
Benfica will miss Brazil International Centre Back Luisão (had appendicitis surgery 2 weeks ago) and in form goal scorer Paraguay International (suspended)...that's the reason why IMO the price is too low.
Still:
- As always the Stadium should be packed with Benfica fans.
- Unlike yesterday, the weather is nice today in Portugal which goes in Benfica's favour.
- Guimarães will use what has been proved to be the only way/tactics to stop Benfica in their stadium this season: to park the bus in front of the net, look for nothing else but an inspired keeper, a goal from a set piece and a lucky day. 
- Benfica still has Pablo Aimar, Saviola, Nuno Gomes, Keirisson, Ramires and wonder kids Angel Di Maria and Fabio Coentrao.

Very low odds at 1.28 (and I usually don't take them this low) but I'll take Benfica to win (with Cardoxzo in the team I would take the AH bet).

Benfica game is about to start and the club and the fans are now honouring Robert Enke .

RIP Enke!

My game prediction is confirmed as Guimarães as both strikers on the bench and no fowards in the lineup (they will play with 2 attacking miedfielders and the rest are all defenders and defensive midfield players), they will play with a 8-2-0 tactic ...

Flyers says:
11/22/09 02:50PM

Jesus...the tribute to Enke was an incredible one!!!

Videos of his performances as a Benfica keeper were diplayed on the Stadium's screens while the fans were calling his name and Benfica players were embrancing each other.
A cold feeling down my spine...

My bets for the Portuguese Cup this weekend:

Oliveirense-Porto - Oliveirense +1.75AH (Asian Handicap); Posponed
Valenciano-Belenenses - Valenciano +1.5AH;
Naval-Gil Vicente - Gil Vicente +0.5AH; (amazing!!! Gil Vicente was up 0-2 in the 90th minute, Naval ties the game with two goals in injury time and ends up winning it in Extra Time ...)
A. Lordelo-Leixões - A. Lordelo +1.25AH;
Braga-Setúbal-Setúbal +1.25AH;
Tirsense-P. Ferreira - Tirsense +1AH;
Pescadores C. Caparica-Sporting - Sporting -2AH;
Very low odds at 1.28 (and I usually don't take them this low) but I'll take Benfica to win (with Cardoxzo in the team I would take the AH bet).  (Guimaraes scores from a corner kick and benfica could be there all day that the ball wouldn't go in for them...)


EPL:

Hull-W. Ham - draw

Spain:
Xerez-Gijon - draw;

France:
Montepellier-Lille - draw

Very, very good weekend !!!
