Soccer Betting Analysis:

Standard De Liege (+195) Standard De Liege opens its UEFA bid against top of the table in Group C Sevilla FC. Standard De Liege had an encouraging bid in Champions League qualification and were very close to advancing. However, a slight dip in form, and the Belgian side was out of contention. In domestic action, their woes continued and recent disappointments sees them drop to fourth place on the domestic table. In their last four games, they won only once.

Sevilla FC (+120) The Spaniards are very good and they began their campaign with a 2:0 win over Stuttgart. Recent troubles have hit the team with regulars being injured. Their great run of results ended against Malaga, where they lost 0:1. In Spanish Cup action, they also suffered a loss and over the weekend, they followed up with a third consecutive loss.

Soccer Betting Verdict: Sevilla FC is mired in some mid season doldrums – a good result here would go a long way to turning things around for them. However, they are travelling to Belgium so right off the bat they are at a disadvantage. This should be a hotly contested match. Sevilla FC has the lead and strengthening their position atop the table will be a huge incentive for a win. However, Standard De Liege could prove to be tougher to overcome than the line would suggest.

Soccer Betting Analysis:

VfB Stuttgart (-250) Though Stuttgart lost their opening UEFA Cup match to FC Sevilla they have a great opportunity to get their bid on track before a partisan crowd in Stuttgart as they prepare to host the Serbian side. Poor form of late will need to be improved but with the return of key players from national duty, they might be well on their way.

Partizan Belgrade (+600) The odds makers do not give Partizan Belgrade much of a chance in this match. Indeed, a dip in form lately would suggest their bid is in trouble. They lost their opening UEFA Cup bid so this is a chance to get back on track but as they are travelling to Germany, the odds are even more against them on the away.
