Lille vs. Liverpool

By Joe, www.Bettingexpert.com

Lille will be hosting Liverpool in their UEFA Europa League round of 16 opener in France for the 1st leg. It will certainly be one of the tightest games in the last 16. Liverpool are one of the surviving teams that made it to the last 16 via. the champions League while Lille have got to this stage through their own merits. Both teams will be looking for a safe passage to the next round.

The French team are looking forward to challenge themselves after they eases past the Danish champion, FC Copenhagen, 6-2 on aggregate over the two legs of the last 32 in the Europa League. Lille hardly broke a sweat and looked convincing in the last round. On Thursday, they might have to put up their guard as they host the famous red shirts five times European Cup winners from Merseyside on Thursday. Lille managed to draw 1-1 away against Saint-Etienne and that will keep them 5th in the Ligue 1. The French side will hope that Ben Arfa will come well on Thursday as he does well in the European scenes.

FC Liverpool will cross the channel to meet Lille for a place in the semifinals in the Europa League. The Reds are no strangers in the latter stages of European competitions and last time they got this far in this competition, it was back in the 2001/02 season where they were crowned winners. This is the last call for Liverpool if they want some silverware this season, they have lost pace in the premiership, losing to Wigan 1-0 on Monday, out of the of FA Cup and League Cup so the Europa League could redeem much of a lost season for Liverpool. Manager Rafa Benitez will be see to that both Gerrard and Torres will be fit for action and hopefully take a good result back to Anfield for next week’s encounter. Liverpool are slowly picking up pace as their most of their key members are fit to fight for the rest of the campaign.

Lille will meet Liverpool for the first time ever in their history and what an important one it is. Liverpool might be favorites to go through to the next round but it will be a tricky first leg encounter. Lille are a good home team and certainly many teams found it hard to break the Frenchmen down on foreign soil. Liverpool will be cautious and they do have some defensive selection problem at the back so expect a draw at least from Liverpool

NBA Betting – Bulls aim to stop slide against Jazz

NBA bettingSportsbook players have no idea what to think of Chicago, a young team in the NBA’s Eastern Conference who is as streaky as it gets. The Bulls have lost four in a row, including three straight at home, ahead of their visit from Utah on Tuesday, and the Jazz will be going for their third consecutive win, but they’ve had troubles in the Windy City lately.

Jazz vs Bulls odds – Tuesday, March 9, 8:00 PM ET

The Jazz (40-22) followed up a big road win in Phoenix by thrashing the Clippers 107-85 at home on Saturday night, and they pulled away in the second half with a 21-point advantage after a slow start. Mehmet Okur dropped 24 against the Suns, and then poured in 27 points on the Clippers and if Okur is going, the Jazz are much tougher to defend as he can drag the opposing center out of the lane with his long-range shooting. Carlos Boozer had 17 points and 17 boards for the Jazz, who had six players in double figures, and they had just six turnovers to 19 for the Clippers.

The Bulls (31-31) came up short in a 122-116 loss at home to Dallas on Saturday, and even though they lost, Chicago can be encouraged that their offense scored 100 points or more in seven of the last 11 games. Derrick Rose has averaged 27.6 points over his last five games, and his 34 points against the Mavericks was his seventh straight game with 20 points or more. Brad Miller had 17 points, while Taj Gibson added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls, who shot 52.2% from the field, but the Mavericks shot 56.3%. If the Bulls could get their offense and defense going at the same time, Chicago would be in the top four of the Eastern Conference: the Bulls are 17-4 when they score 100 points or more, but 7-21 when their opponents do the same.

US sportsbook odds (US sportsbook review) should have the Bulls should be the favorites at home, but you may have better luck in an internet super casino than betting on Chicago. These two have met just once this year, with the Jazz routing the Bulls 105-86 at home on November 26th. Boozer had 28 points in that contest, while Deron Williams had 21 for the Jazz, who shot 60.8% from the floor. Luol Deng dropped 26 points for the Bulls, who can’t let the Jazz shot that well again. Even though the Bulls’ offense is coming around, their defense has failed them as of late, and the Jazz have enough discipline to get the stops when they have to get them.
