Soccer Betting Analysis: This should be one of the most interesting matchups in UEFA Cup action tomorrow as this is the first time these two sides meet.

Spartak Moscow +125: has the home edge in their UEFA Cup debut match this season. After receiving the break on match day 1, Moscow will want to get off to a good start. Two wins is all that is needed to advance into the next stage. Spartak Moscow is an illustrious Russian soccer club. They narrowly missed Champions League action this year when they were ousted by rivals Dynamo Kyiv. UEFA Cup is their consolation. Spartak Moscow also debut a new coach in Laudrop. They beat their domestic rivals CSKA so they are coming in to this match in good spirits.

Udinese +185 Udinese have been impressive in domestic action but a weekend loss against Genoa saw them fall from the top of the table. Nevertheless, Udinese got the all-important win in their UEFA Cup opener – another win will ensure them advancement. However, they are making a long trip to Moscow to play a side they are not familiar with. Conditions and the long journey could conspire against what is a quality side.

Soccer Betting Verdict: Though Udinese is a quality side, I think the odds makers got this one right. The outcome is a little bit uncertain, as the trip to Moscow is arduous. The Italians will not be used to the extreme weather conditions Russia is known for nor are they all familiar too familiar with the style of play. The safe bet is a home win.

Soccer Betting Analysis:

Tottenham Hotspur -250 Tottenham hotspurs succumbed easily in their opening UEFA Cup bid. Now as they prepare to host Dinamo Zagreb they have a chance to get back on track. Over the weekend, the English side nicked an important victory in Premiership action when they beat Liverpool FC 2:1. If that is not a huge confidence booster than I do not know what is.

Dinamo Zagreb +525 Dinamo Zagreb does not have an outside chance even in this match. Recent form in Europe has been inconsistent. They did win their first match against NEC by a close 3:2 score. Problems with Zagreb is their seems to be a disconnect between coach and players. They do not play as a team more individually. They won their first match but this could be a problem against the English side.
