UEFA Cup and Conference

Firstly, the UEFA Cup.

Bolton travel to Red Star Belgrade tonight minus Nicolas Anelka, Kevin Davies, Kevin Nolan, Andy O'Brien, Ricardo Gardner and Jussi Jaaskelainen all of whom have been left at home and rested and Ivan Campo who is not registered. They were thrashed 4-0 at the weekend while Red Star, who sit 2nd in the Serbian league, had the weekend off. Red Star must win to have any chance of qualifying and according to their coach will be going straight for the jugular tonight. Bolton will struggle for sure tonight, and although they have drawn all three matches so far they could well be facing their first loss, and possibly a heavy one... The odds seem way out to me...
Spurs travel tonight too and face Anderlecht in a battle of 1st vs 2nd knowing a win will see them through. Anderlecht know the same but have one match left after tonight while Spurs are done. Both sides will be going for the win, and this means one thing in a Spurs match... goals.
Finally Bordeaux host Helsingborgs in another game where surely goals are on the menu. In their last 12 games Bordeaux have scored 21 and conceded 19 while Helsingborgs have scored 31 and conceded 19. I'm going to cover some high scores...
4pts Red Star Belgrade to beat Bolton @ 2.34

1pt Bordeaux v Helsingborgs Unquoted @ 7.6

On to the Conference and on form Cambridge travel to out of form Kidderminster looking to extend their good run of 27 points out of the last possible 36... not much time for detail but they should carry on tonight
2pts Cambridge to beat Kidderminster @ 2.4


Oh dear... also backed Anderlecht in running for a point and everything has lost! Back to where I started the month!
