NETHERLANDS .... UEFA CUP PLAY-OFFS


I will side with Groningen to win their home game with Feyenoord.

The visitors look very sorry for theirselves just now and blew their season big time, after looking booked for a place in the Champions League play-offs. Not sure how motivated they will be for today's match, they may feel they need a season free of european distraction to find some domestic form, coach Erwin Koeman has resigned and Leo Beenhakker, has taken temporary charge.

The hosts did the double over the side from Rotterdam during the league season, with a 7-0 goal difference, including 4-0 in the away game, just 4 weeks ago.

Feyenoord are a shadow of their former selves and have some major rebuilding to do, when they concede, the floodgates tend to open, as testified by the 42 away goals they have conceded this season. With just one win in 9 starts, they have conceded 3 or more goals, 7 times in 2007 and still have a handful of long term injuries.

4.5 points Groningen -1/2 ball 2.25 William Hill// Blue Square.... 2.15 + is acceptable.
won + 5.625 pts



Back later.
