Hungarian Grand Prix Betting

With no time to rest after last weekend’s controversial Ferrari 1-2 victory in Germany, Formula One moves onto Hungary. Who will take the chequered flag this weekend? BetRepublic.com previews the outright markets here.
Top Outright Race Winner Odds at Motor Sports Bet
Fernando Alonso – 15/8
Sebastian Vettel – 2/1
Mark Webber – 9/2
Lewis Hamilton - 6/1
Felipe Massa – 8/1
This weekend’s race at the Hungaroring, near Budapest, is the twelfth race of the 2010 Formula One season and after the events at Hockenheim last weekend Formula One will be looking for a clean and exciting race. However, the Hungaroring closely resembles the track at Monaco with its short straights, lots of turns and usually a massive lack of overtaking action. Will things be different this year?
As always, first up for the race weekend comes qualifying. Of the eleven races so far this season a Red Bull has started on pole position on ten occasions, with Sebastian Vettel claiming six poles, including the last three straight top grid slots, and Mark Webber claiming the other four. Lewis Hamilton claimed pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix, which he went on to win, to prevent Red Bull having 100% domination. Will we see an eleventh Red Bull pole position this season this weekend?
I feel that we will, as the Red Bull car is still the fastest car over one lap. Alt... [More]

Since replacing Rafael Benitez as manager of Liverpool on July 1st Hodgson has signalled his intent to make the fans forget last season’s poor campaign that saw the 2005 Champions League winners finish in seventh place in the Premier League.

Debreceni VSC v FC Basel @ Soccer Betting Tips :
This match sees the Hungarian champions take on the Swiss champions for a place in the playoff stage of the qualification section of the Champions League. Online sports BetRepublic.com make Basel the favourites to win this first leg tie at evens ahead of Debrecen and the draw at odds of 11/5. Will the Swiss champions live up to their pre-match billing as favourites?

Basel had a reasonable season in Europe last season. They finished third in the same Europa League group as Roma and Fulham, only failing to progress on the final matchday as they lost 3-2 to eventual finalists Fulham.
However, they did secure an impressive 2-0 win over Roma before losing out to the more illustrious sides from Italy and England. They did secure the domestic double of league and cup in the 09/10 season in Switzerland as well and will be a major threat for Debrecen.
Last season Debrecen got a tough Champions League ... [More]

Tuesday’s Champions League Betting : The New Saints vs Anderlecht  
We’ve reached the final qualifying round of the Champions League and some big names enter the fray this week. Will we see some of Europe’s smaller clubs cause some upsets? BetRepublic.com previews a selection of games here.
The New Saints vs Anderlecht Soccer Betting Tips :
This match sees the Welsh champions face the Belgian champions for a place in the Champions League Playoff for a place in the group stages of the competition. Books make Anderlecht the 1/4 favourites to win this first leg tie, with TNS available at 15/2 and the draw can be backed at 19/5.Will this match go according to the odds?
TNS booked their place in this match by beating Bohemians from the Republic of Ireland 4-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round last week. There defeat of the Irish champions was the first ever occasion that they had won a Champions League qualifying tie, and they did so in impressive style by beating Bohemians 4-0 at home in the second leg after losing the first leg 1-0 in Dublin. Can TNS cause a bigger shock by beating the Belgian champions?
Although The New Saints will be in a highly confident mood after beating Bohemians, Anderlecht will be equally confident after kicking off their season last weekend with a 1-0 win in the Belgian Super Cup. They... [More]

Thursday’s Europa League Betting - FC MIKA Ashtarak vs FK Rabotnicki

This evening sees the second leg ties of the Second Qualifying Round for the 2010/2011 Europa League tournament. Who will progress to the third, and final, qualifying round? Soccer Betting Tip searches for some value bets here.
Breidablik v Motherwell:
At the halfway stage of the tie Motherwell hold the advantage after winning 1-0 last week in Scotland. Can they hold that advantage and progress as they travel to Iceland this Thursday evening? The 23/20 favourites to win the match in normal time, with Breidablik available at odds of 17/10 and the draw can be backed at 12/5.
The first game at Fir Park saw a competitive game with plenty of chances for both sides, however it was the more clinical professional side from the SPL that took the win through a 63rd minute goal. However, the Icelandic side had their share of chances and on another night they could come away with an away goal or two. Can they overturn the deficit and progress to their final qualifying round to face Aalesunds FK of Norway in their first appearance in European football?

I see this as another exciting game and I feel that Motherwell will take the win and progress to the next round. However Breidablik will not make it easy and I see both sides scoring in this game. Back Motherwell to win @ 23/20.

This evening sees the final eleven games from the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Who will progress to the final qualifying round? BetRepublic previews a selection of games here.
Rosenborg v Linfield Soccer Betting Tip :
After claiming a shock 0-0 draw last week, the Northern Irish champions are still in this tie and they travel to Norway with a chance of eliminating their more illustrious opponents. Can they do so though? Books don’t think so, making Rosenborg 1/12 favourites to win this match in normal time, with Linfield available at 16/1 and the draw at 13/2.
With odds that short the bookmakers clearly believe that this game is going to be a walk in the park for the 2009 Norwegian league champions. However, Rosenborg had won eight straight matches prior to the draw with Linfield last week and ended up drawing their second game in a row following last week’s fixture in Belfast.
At home Rosenborg are a tough proposition having won eight and drawn three of their last eleven games in a run that stretches back to April. They have also kept seven clean sheets in their last nine home matches, and with Linfield likely to play 4-5-1 again I feel that Rosenborg will win this game to nil as well, but they will have to work hard for it.
My money is on the game to be level at half time with R... [More]

Germany vs Uruguay 2010 World Cup: Soccer Betting Tips and Picks

Germany vs Uruguay 2010 World Cup Live Soccer Betting Tips : 

 This Saturday sees the penultimate match at the 2010 World Cup as Uruguay and Germany battle it out in the third and fourth place playoff after losing their Semi Final games. Who will finish third? BetRepublic.com previews the action here.
Uruguay v Germany:
This is the game that no side wants to ever play in as they’ve lost their Semi Final and missed the chance to play in a World Cup final. Germany played in the 2006 3rd/4th place playoff, while Uruguay last reached the last four stage in 1970 – where they were beaten by West Germany 1-0 to finish fourth

Who will claim third place? Online sportsbooks make Germany the 4/5 favourites to win the match within ninety minutes, with Uruguay available at 7/2 and the draw can be backed at 5/2. Will the game go according to the odds though?
Both sides will be completely demoralised after losing their Semi Final matches, with Uruguay falling 3-2 to the Netherlands and Germany losing 1-0 to Spain. Both matches were gripping and ‘edge of your seat’ viewing with neither match settled until the full time whistle had blown. Uruguay put in a great performance against the Netherlands, but in the end it was th... [More]

WORLD CUP BETTING – Uruguay vs Netherlands
It’s make or break time this Tuesday evening as Uruguay take on the Netherlands for a place in the World Cup final. Who will be the first finalists? Betrepubluc previews the match here.
Uruguay v Netherlands Soccer Betting Tip :
What a matchup we have for the first Semi Final at the 2010 World Cup. Available at odds of 80/1 and 14/1 respectively both of these sides, Uruguay especially, have performed better than most people could have predicted.


Who will reach the final though? The silky smooth Dutch? Or the tenacious Uruguayans with their never-say-die attitude?Netherlands the favourites to progress to the final within ninety minutes at odds of 4/6, with Uruguay available at 5/1 and the draw can be backed at 5/2. However, I feel that this game will be a lot tighter than the odds suggest.
In their Quarter Final match Uruguay upset the whole of Africa and the majority of the world as Luis Suarez saved his country from elimination by punching the ball off the line as Ghana were about to score the winner in injury time at the end of the second period of extra ti... [More]

World Cup Betting: Germany vs. Spain
The second World Cup Semi Final sees the dark horses of the tournament take on the pre-tournament favourites for the second spot in Sunday’s final. Who will progress? Germany or Spain? BetRepublic previews the game here.
Germany v Spain Soccer Betting Tip :
Spain came into the tournament as the favourites, but the 2008 European Champions haven’t really lived up to that billing, while no-one was expecting much from Germany in South Africa but they have breezed past England and Argentina in the knockout stages scoring eight goals make Spain the 8/5 favourites to win in normal time ahead of Germany at 9/5 and the draw at 11/5.The odds are close, but who will progress?
Both sides have lost one game in the 2010 finals, with Germany’s loss coming at the hands of Serbia in their second group game. That loss came after join top scorer, with four goals, Miroslav Klose was red carded in the first half and they conceded a goal just seconds later. They should have got back into the game but missed a succession of chances, including a penalty.
That goal was half of the goals that Germany have conceded in the tournament, with the only other goal coming in the game against England in the last sixteen sta... [More]
