The Champions league final will be an interesting clash between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich but in this
weekly football betting tips article we are going to focus on their domestic league matches in their respective
countries and pick out the best bets from the European football fixtures. Each football bet uses the odds

Each week I search through the stats and the weekly news to find the best match from the Bundesliga in
Germany, Serie A in Italy and La Liga in Spain and put together a continental football bet for the weekend.

Bundesliga – Hamburger SV 4/5 Draw 53/20 FC Nurnberg 3/1

European Football Match Betting Tips April 24^th 2010

Many of the big clubs from Europe have the champions league on their minds and we must consider this
when we select which of the league fixtures to bet on this weekend.

Here is my weekly column on which are the best matches to bet on from the league fixtures across Europe.
I focus on decent returning odds and use the sports betting odds from bwin.com each week for my selections
and I give you an option on a specific bet you might like to place. Bwin offer many different special bets and
leagues and you should check out what they offer before placing any bets.

La Liga - Athletico Madrid 7/10 Draw 27/10 CD Tenerife 7/2

Madrid are mid-table with 40 points whilst Tenerife are in the relegation places third from bottom after a
tough season. Tenerife won their last match away from home against Sporting Gijon but had a scoreless
draw against Valladolid before that so there are signs of life for them and all is not lost as they fight
relegation but they need to make something happen quickly if they are to survive in La Liga. Madrid lost
3-0 away to Espanyol and lost at home to Xerez in a surprise loss last week. I am going to back the draw
here as Madrid let us down last week and to back them again seems unwise, even though this is a match
they are rightly favourites for. Tenerife have everything to play for and I fancy them to draw against a
Madrid team struggling for form. Back the draw at 27/10 for this match.

Serie A – Livorno 49/20 Draw 23/10 Catania 21/20

I am backing the away team in this Italian football fixture. Catania have won once and drawn twice in their
last three fixtures and they should do well against a team at the foot of the table, a certainty for relegation
and with three losses and two drawn matches in their last five games. Livorno players will be struggling to
come to terms with their bad season and their squad has been proven to be lacking the ability to defeat the
opposition found in Serie A. I would back Catania at 21/20 in what may well by 1/1 at the match kick-off.
Catania have been fairly solid and their only defeat in their last five games was a narrow 1-0 defeat away
to Napoli, so they can be relied upon I think to give a good account of themselves against what is
statistically the worst side in the league.

Bundesliga – Borussia Monchengladbach 5/1 Draw 3/1 Bayern Munich 1/2

Bayern are top of the league two points ahead of FC Schalke 04 who are away to Hertha Berlin this weekend.
Will the bad press regarding Franck Ribery in a lap dancing club facing serious allegations affect his
performance? Bayern need a result here and against Monchen they have a good chance of victory I think,
regardless of off-field considerations. Coming off a 7-0 victory over Hannover I think you must back them to
win this match. Top sides tend to play their best towards the end of each season and you can see signs of
his happening with Bayern Munich. I will take 1/2 to back the away win here.

Placing a €10 bet on the draw between Athletico Madrid and Tenerife at 27/10 will return €37 including your
stake if successful. Backing a €10 double between Catania at 21/20 and Bayern Munich at 1/2 would return a
total of €30.75. So for a €20 stake this weekend you could win a total return of €67.75 across our two bets.

Enjoy your football betting in the European leagues this weekend. Visit bwin.com to see their current
Champions League betting odds as that competition is also reaching an exciting climax.

European Football Match Betting Tips April 17^th 2010

Each week there is more information in each of the European football leagues to help us select the best
bets for our football betting selections. Looking at the German, Spanish and Italian leagues here are my
top selection from each of those leagues for this weekend. Most of the leagues are closely fought and with
the World Cup approaching fast, many of the players are keen to show why they deserve a place in their International squads.

Here are my betting tips for this weekends matches, you can only find them right here on this website.

Bundesliga – VfB Stuttgart 23/20 Draw 9/4 Bayer Leverkusen 9/4

Stuttgart is seventh in the Bundesliga, seven points behind Leverkusen who lie in third place.
Leverkusen showed improvement after a 3-2 loss to Eintracht recently by drawing 1-1 at home to
Bayern Munich. Stuttgart has done well this season and recently beat Hertha Berlin 2-1 away from home
and they are on a four match winning run. Leverkusen has, however, scored fifteen more goals this season
than Stuttgart. A bet on either the home win or draw would be my selections here and my tip is for the
draw at 9/4. Stuttgart has had a great run here but they are playing a side firmly planted at the top of
the league that has shown good form away from home this season.

La Liga – Athletico Madrid 33/100 Draw 15/4 Xerez 15/2

Bottom side Xerez travel to Athletico Madrid who league position is a more healthy tenth position, three
points clear of Osasuna in eleventh position. Xerez have shown signs of life albeit at the foot of the table
but Athletico won their last match against rivals Bilbao and narrowly lost 3-2 to Real Madrid before that.
This suggests to me that they should definitely have a great chance to win this match if they play anywhere
near their best. Xerez look certain for relegation and their will to fight may be diminishing as the reality of
their situation hits home. 33/100 seems reasonable odds for the home win and therefore that is my tip for
this match.

Serie A – Lazio 53/20 Draw 9/4 Roma 1/1

This is my best bet of the weekend. Roma have blasted the Serie A league race wide open winning their
last five matches in a row and now stand in first place. They travel to sixteenth place Lazio who have
only scored 37 goals in 33 games this season. Lazio, to their credit, have won three of their last five games
to somewhat ease relegation fears but they still remain in big trouble. Facing Roma, even when playing
at home, is a tall order for them. Roma’s away form is a slight concern having won six and drawn seven
but in current form I think they will enter this match expecting to take three points. At a 1/1 return, I think
we should back them too. They are currently 19/20 to win Serie A, second favourites behind Inter Milan
who bwin.com still expect to win at 23/25, but it is very close.

If you were to have a €10 bet on the treble selecting Roma at 1/1, Athletico Madrid at 33/100 and the
draw between Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen at 9/4 your total returns, including your stake, would
be €86.45.

Good luck on whatever football bets you decide to place this weekend and enjoy all of the action.
There are plenty of more bets you can place by visiting bwin.com and viewing their European football
betting markets.

Using the football betting oddsfrom bwin.com this is our weekly look at the various fixtures from across the
leagues of Europe. With top of the league clashes having a massive effect on the respective teams challenge
for the league titles and every point counting in the relegation struggles it is a great time to bet on football
in Europe where every point matters and every match has far reaching consequences.

La Liga – Real Madrid 27/20 Draw 13/5 Barcelona 33/20

What a match and one that the whole of Europe will be watching and betting on! Lionel Messi dominated the
sport news this week with a four goal haul in the destruction of Arsenal in the Champion’s League and he will
be relishing the challenge of facing Real when he is in such good form. Real Madrid won against Racing Club
and Barcelona routed Athletico so their form in recent matches could not be better coming into this match
for both teams.

With both sides locked on 77 points this is a match for more than pride, it could decide the destination of
the league title for this season. Messi is 23/20 to score during the match, joint favourite with Cristiano
Ronaldo at the same odds. Both players are 4/1 to score first. I am going to tip the draw at 13/5, in what is
a must see match as I cannot separate them. I might give a slight edge to Barcelona in terms of form but
that is cancelled out by them playing this match away from home. Both clubs are 22 points ahead of their
third placed league rival, Valencia.

Bundesliga – Bayer Leverkusen 21/10 Draw 23/10 Bayern Munich 6/5

Will Bayern be distracted after their Champions league match against Manchester Utd? They need to
refocus quickly as the Bundesliga also have a league match between two of the three top teams. Leverkusen
are off the pace now, losing 3-2 to Frankfurt all but ended their title dreams. For this reason I fancy Bayern,
who are in the thick of the action on their domestic and European competitions, to be hungrier for this match.
Arjen Robben and Van Buyten should be back in the side for Bayern and this is enough for me to tip them
to win at 6/5. This is another match you should definitely tune in and watch if you can. We are spoilt for
choice for top of the league clashes this weekend right across Europe.

Serie A – AC Milan 7/20 Draw 73/20 Catania 27/4

To pad out our treble I have selected a match from Serie A that offers a bit more reassurance about the
end result. Milan are still in the title race with plenty of play for. They are third in the league, three points
behind rivals Inter Milan. Catania are mid-table with nothing really to play for, which I believe is significant
after a long tiring season. Given that AC Milan won their last match after a somewhat barren spell of form
they are on a momentum building run which is good for their chances. Milan beat Cagliari away from home
3-2 in their last match and will expect to win this match when playing at home. I would happily back them
in our treble at 7/20 to win this match. You may be interested in over 2.5 goals in the match at odds of 11/2.

If you were to back all of my selections in a €10 treble bet by betting on AC Milan at 7/20, Bayern Munich
at 6/5 and the draw between Real Madrid and Barcelona at 13/5 your total returns, including your stake,
would be a handsome €106.92. I would be happy to back these bets in singles bets also, or even doubles.
Whatever you choose I think these matches offer us a bit of value at this critical point in the season.

As an England fan I am watching our World Cup betting chances diminish as one by one our best players
suffer injuries, so this article is a welcome distraction of the worries of being an England football fan! It is
with great pleasure I give my tips for the European football matches available to bet on at bwin.com using
their football betting odds. My selections come from the best European football leagues from the La Liga
in Spain, the Bundesliga in Germany, Serie A in Italy and Ligue 1 in France.

Using the odds from https://www.bwin.com we take a weekly look through the Football betting opportunities
in the European football betting market to identify the best bets from the German, Spanish and Italian
leagues. For continental football betting, you can get no better than bwin.com; they offer a wide variety
of special bets for each match including first goalscorer and half time/full time scores.

Enjoy all of the action this weekend and look out for the European football betting tips next week.

Here are my recommended bets from across Europe for the match betting this weekend from the major
leagues we follow using the sports betting odds from bwin.com, our favourite bookmaker.

Bundesliga – 1. FC Nurnberg 7/5 Draw 9/4 1899 Hoffenheim 9/5
Nurnberg are 15^th in the Bundesliga, one point away from the relegation play-off position whilst Hoffenheim
are further up the league in eleventh position. 13% of fans believe on Bundesliga.de that Nurnberg will survive
the drop which helps us give them some credit for playing at home. Hoffenheim lost at home to Werder Bremen
in their last match and unfortunately despite their higher league position I am unsure they can beat Nurnberg
playing away. I am also unconvinced Nurnberg will beat them given their lowly league position. I therefore
think the draw is a decent bet at 9/4 in this lower table clash.

La Liga – RCD Mallorca 11/10 Draw 12/5 Athletico Madrid 11/5

Serie A – AC Milan 3/5 Draw 53/20 Napoli 9/2
