Betting prediction was written by Dan Adair

Champions League time and again it’s a long way away from the Barce’s and the Bayerns. We have round 1 official and after “great success” last round we look for some nuggets here. Game 1 sees Ventspils (Latvia) host HJK (Finland) – A slight mismatch of prices here and some value on the home front. The Latvians are 11 games in and have yet to taste defeat! 5 wins and 6 draws puts them in 2^nd with a game in hand. In Europe they are showing 64 games with 18 wins, 16 draws and 30 defeats. Recent years have seen 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats with qualifications over Juenesse (Lux) and Airbus (Wales) HJK of Helsinki are 20 games into their own league (they lead by 1 point but have played 2 more than all other teams) They are very experienced in Europe with 124 matches. They have won 41 with 16 draws and 67 losses. Recent years saw a Group Stage qualification where they beat Torino and Copenhagen but lost the other 4 matches. They did lose to Estonians Nomme Kalju the year before at this stage though.

 

HJK have more experience and a greater UEFA ranking (154 v 247) but for me Ventspils have more to offer on the field. Latvia v Finland is not a one sided as the odds suggest. I think with a small start Ventspils rate a great bet at 1.83 or 5-6 with StanJames. If game is drawn we get a half win and half stakes returned.

 

Bet Ventspils +0.25 at 5-6 or  1.83 StanJames.
