Wednesday’s Live UEFA Cup Football

SK Brann v Everton – Live on Five, k/o 7:00pm

The big match on Wednesday night sees Norwegian champions SK Brann host Premiership highfliers Everton at the Brann Stadion. These two sides have never met in the UEFA Cup, with Everton making their first competitive trip to Norway. Everton have been in terrific form in all competitions this season, particularly in the UEFA Cup, where they have won all of their away games so far and finished top of Group A. Brann’s form against English opposition isn’t as impressive, having drawn one and lost three; two of those defeats came against Liverpool in the 96/97 Cup Winner’s Cup. SK Brann, the 2007 Norwegian champions, have won only one of their three home games in the UEFA Cup this season, losing the other two. Considering Everton’s consistency this season, bookies have priced them as favourites for this match, with VC Bet offering 8/11 on a fourth consecutive away win in the UEFA Cup, while SK Brann have been priced at 10/3 (Better) to upset the rulebook and take advantage of the two leg tie.

Thursday’s Live UEFA Cup Football

Slavia Prague v Tottenham – Live on Five, k/o 8:00pm

Thursday’s big match sees Champions League dropouts Slavia Prague host Tottenham at the Stadion Ev˛ena Rošického. Slavia Prague will be desperate to rectify their reputation against Premiership opposition having been humiliated 7-0 by Arsenal in the Champions League earlier this season. Winners in 71/72 and 83/84, Tottenham are looking to become the fourth three-time champions after Liverpool, Inter Milan and Juventus. Manager Jaunde Ramos, who has already faced Slavia Prague this season in the Champions League while he was coach of Sevilla, will be looking to win an unprecedented third successive UEFA Cup, having taken the trophy with Sevilla in both Eindhoven and Glasgow in 2006 and 2007. With Tottenham in good form, the bookies have priced them as firm favourites at 3/4 (VC Bet), meanwhile Slavia Prague have been priced at 3/1 by Centrebet to get a priceless first leg victory.
