The whole world is on this UEFA Cup match

This spot reminds me of the Shaktar Donetsk game that got shoved up my a** last month. Wisla Krakow visits Valeranga in Norway in the first leg of their UEFA Cup match up. I'm pretty sure most of Europe has a bet on this game and they're all on Wisla Krakow. Wisla Krakow opened up around a +175 to win and it's down to +110 and going lower.

It appears that this game has been played already. At least the one way betting action makes it appear that way. I didn't know much about either team except that Wisla Krakow had a nice run in last year's UEFA Cup knocking out Parma and Schalke and giving Lazio all they wanted. Wisla Krakow has scored 29 goals in 11 games. They are 6-0 at home but an average team in their 5 road games.

The one way action in this game appears mostly due to the fact that Valeranga starts a two leg relegation playoff on the road on Monday. Some of the game notes that I have read paint this team as pretty bad and all their focus is on the Monday match. Wisla Krakow looks to be the play here but it looks too easy.

soccerbob,

I knew what match you're talking about before looking inside the thread. Would you take Wisla with the current odds available ? I won't, it's funny how transparent and predictable the moves are on Uefa Cup at this stage, and how unpredictable the results are.

Matahari- I wouldn't play Wisla Krakow at +110 but can I still get them at +175? I guess not. What really surprises me is that money is still pouring in on Wisla Krakow and you can still get them at plus money. I find that surprising . You would think such a one way wave of betting would have Wisla onto the minus side but that nice little plus is there for the taking. Hmmm.

I do like one total a little bit. I can see this Greclin at Manchester City game going over 2 1/2.
