UEFA Cup Final Betting - City of Manchester Stadium (May 14)
The UEFA Cup begun last July and has seen 123 European football clubs contest 220 matches, scoring 561 goals. It now comes down to just two teams, Glasgow Ranger and Zenit St.Petersburg, one of which will replace the name of Sevilla, that has won the trophy for the previous two years. The final is being played at the City of Manchester Stadium on Wednesday night, and PinnacleSports.com will have a host markets, offering up to 60% better UEFA Cup betting odds.
Fresh Russian Legs Take On Tired Scots
Glasgow Rangers have become victims of their own success. Their long season has seen them play a record number of games, following success in the Scottish League Cup the Gers play the final of Scottish FA Cup ten days after this showdown, with another three league fixtures sandwiched between, which will determine whether they pip Celtic to the Scottish Premier League title. To add further fatigue the Scots’ semi-final second against Fiorentina went to penalties. The fatigue factor will have been factored into the odds at PinnacleSports.com who make Zenit favourites to lift the trophy 1.617 (0/scratch)* with Rangers 2.520 (0/scratch)* – a market priced to less than 102%.
Coach, Walter Smith, will need all his experience to maintain the mental freshness of his players, in the face of such an arduous season, which has included two recent Old Firm defeats to domestic rivals, Celtic. Smith has had some good news on the injury front with Lee McCulloch and DaMarcus Beasley recently recovered. Bettors will have to balance the importance of continuity through the season against the drain that their fixture schedule has produced; Rangers played a league game five days before the final whereas their opponents have been free since defeating Bayern Munich 4-1 on May 7th.
The contrast in the teams’ conditions couldn’t be greater as Zenit’s season is only a matter of weeks old, having started in mid-March. They have also received a postponement of their Russian Premier League fixture, prior to this final, allowing them maximum preparation time. Their coach, Dick Advocaat, should know all about Rangers, having coached them for four years from 1998-2002. The biggest problem he faces is filling the gap left by the suspended striker, Pavel Pogrebnyak, the joint top-scorer in the competition.
Advocaat will appreciate that this is a significant game not just for Zenit St.Petersburg, but all Russian football. The country has suffered a lack of confidence on the big stage since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, so victory here could be a pivotal moment in the renaissance of Russian football. PinnacleSports.com have Zenit as favourites in 90 minutes 1.926 (0/scratch & -0.5)* with Rangers 2.000 (0/scratch & +0.5)*.
