Celtic v KR Reykjavik Champions League
Celtic v KR Reykjavik Champions League

Celtic welcome the Icelandic champions to Murrayfield for the second leg of their second qualifying round of
the Champions League tie. The hosts lead the Celtic v KR Reykjavik tie 1-0, but can they progress with a win
tonight?
Although the Scottish champions were
dominant in the first leg of their Celtic v
KR Reykjavik tie in Iceland last week as
they struck the bar twice, once in each
half of the game, had 75% of possession
and had 25 more shots than their hosts
they managed only to secure victory in
the match in the last six minutes of the
match as 21 year old midfielder Callum
McGregor netted his first goal for the
club. Celtic bring an advantage to
Murrayfield this evening with them at
the home of Scottish rugby due to Celtic
Park being used for the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games and they will be confident of a
repeat of last weeks performance to see them cruise through to the third qualifying round of the Champions
League. Can they perform better in front of goal though?
GR88.com believe so as they make the hosts in this Celtic v KR Reykjavik match tonight the big favourites to
secure victory and eliminate the Icelandic champions. The GR88.com Celtic v KR Reykjavik betting odds are as
follows.
Celtic v KR Reykjavik Betting Odds:
Celtic to win 1.12
Draw 7.60
KR Reykjavik to win 20.00
While tonights Celtic v KR Reykjavik match may be only the second competitive match of the season for the
Scottish champions they certainly showed their abilities all around the park last week in Iceland as they
dominated all of the attacking statistics. They had three times as much of the ball as KR as well as taking 28
strikes at goal and claiming 11 corners. They were only let down by their finishing, but with one competitive
game under their belts and a friendly match against Dynamo Dresden to their name in the last week they will
sure that they can bag more goals this evening to see them progress comfortably.
KR are 12 games into their domestic season coming into this match and they sit third in the table, yet despite
having played many more competitive games in recent times they showed none of the form that saw them
top of the Icelandic rvalsdeild last season in the first leg of this Celtic v KR Reykjavik tie. They managed just
three shots in the 90 minutes on home soil and just a single shot landed on target. They have managed just
three wins in their last six games in domestic competition, so now will they fare at Murrayfield this evening
against a far superior side?
As the GR88.com Celtic v KR Reykjavik betting odds suggest this match is for Celtic to lose and if they can
perform as well as last week and bring some scoring ability today then there is a great chance of a landslide
win for the home team tonight. Our football expert cannot see anything but an easy win for Celtic and his
money is on a big win for the Scottish champions this evening.
Our GR88est Celtic v KR Reykjavik bet is back Celtic to win by at least three goals (Celtic -2.25)

Whitecaps v Dallas Major League Soccer
Whitecaps v Dallas Major League Soccer

The final match from the trio of MLS games playing this evening sees the clash of the Vancouver Whitecaps v
Dallas at BC Place Stadium. The Whitecaps can move into the playoffs with victory, but can they win this
match tonight?
This Western Conference clash pits the
sides sitting sixth and fourth together at
the BC Place Stadium tonight as they
both to take all three points to bolster
their chances of making the end of
season playoffs. Vancouver sit sixth
before kickoff knowing that a win will
see them leap LA Galaxy and Dallas to
move fourth and level with Colorado,
while an away win in this Whitecaps v
Dallas game could see them ahead of
Real Salt Lake and second in the table.
Its all to play for in the Western
Conference, so wholl maximise their chances with victory tonight?
GR88.com believe that this Whitecaps v Dallas match is heading for a home win as they make Vancouver the
odds on favourites for victory, but can they live up to this pre-match billing? The GR88.com Whitecaps v
Dallas betting odds are as follows.
Vancouver Whitecaps v Dallas Betting Odds:
Vancouver Whitecaps to win 1.92
Draw 3.15
FC Dallas to win 3.40
Vancouver do not bring the best of form into this Whitecaps v Dallas match having managed to win just one
of their last seven MLS games. They may have lost just two of these seven games and these two losses are
their only defeats since April, a run of 13 matches but their biggest problem has been that they have drawn
too many games lately. They have four draws in these seven matches, including 1-1s with Toronto and Real
Salt Lake in their last two clashes, but will they be able to find a winner tonight? Their home form does not
provide any concrete answers as they have won two, lost two and drawn three of their last seven in front of
their own fans as they scored ten and conceded 11. The hosts of this Whitecaps v Dallas game will feel it is a
must win, but can they close out the match tonight?
Dallas are riding the crest of a wave at the moment as they have emerged from an eight game winless streak
that saw them lose six and draw two matches between the end of April and start of June to win three and
draw two of their last five. The 11 points collected during this time have seen them into the top four in the
league and within striking distance of second place. They have scored 11 goals in these five games as only
Columbus Crew shut them out in a 0-0 draw while conceding just five goals so they will hope that this fine
form continues North of the border this evening. However, their away form in the league does not make for
comforting reading for Dallas fans as they have lost four and drawn three of their last seven away games as a
4-1 win at Houston at the start of April is their only road victory all season. Can they use their fine form in
recent times to make this Whitecaps v Dallas just their second away win of the year?
The recent head to head record between these two sides would suggest that the away side have a great
chance at winning this Whitecaps v Dallas match as they have won four and drawn one of their last five
meetings, including beating Vancouver 3-1 in their last clash on home soil at the end of last season. The
games at BC Place Stadium over the years have two Dallas wins, one Whitecaps victory and the last match
saw a 2-2 draw with the Whitecaps needing two late goals to secure a point. Our man in the know feels that
this will be a close game as, despite their fine recent form, Dallas are not so good on the road, but he does
see goals between the sides and is backing there to be multiple goals scored by both teams in this Whitecaps
v Dallas game.
Our GR88est Vancouver Whitecaps v Dallas bet is back four or more goals on the Three Goals No
Bet market @ 2.22 with GR88.com.

Debrecen v Cliftonville Champions League
Debrecen v Cliftonville Champions League

Tonight sees the start of the second leg matches from the second qualifying round for the 2014/15 Champions
League and our football expert previews the finely poised Debrecen v Cliftonville match at the Nagyerdei
Stadion.
The second leg of this Debrecen v
Cliftonville clash in the second
qualifying round of the Champions
League is finely poised following a
heroic performance from the
Northern Irish side on home soil at
the Solitude Stadium last week to
deny victory for the Hungarian
champions. The visitors were
expected to cruise to victory in
Northern Ireland last Tuesday
night but a supreme defensive
display saw the hosts emerge with
something to play for in this
second leg tonight. Can Cliftonville
snatch a goal to see Debrecen
needing two to win this evening?
GR88.com do not believe so as they make the home side in this Debrecen v Cliftonville match tonight the
overwhelming favourites to secure victory in the first Champions League match to be played at the newly
refurbished Nagyerdei Stadion. The GR88.com Debrecen v Cliftonville betting odds are as follows.
Debrecen v Cliftonville Betting Odds:
Debrecen to win 1.25
Draw 5.50
Cliftonville to win 11.50
Despite being the massive favourites to progress to the third qualifying round of the Champions League by
winning the second leg of this Debrecen v Cliftonville tie tonight, the home team in Hungary this evening have
not had the easiest starts to the season so far. The first leg of this tie last week was their second match of the
season and they have now failed to find the net in both of these. The first match was the Hungarian Super
Cup against jpest and after a scoreless 120 minutes Debrecen were beaten on penalties. Should tonight fail
to see any goals after the 90 minutes of normal time and then extra time we will see penalties and you can be
sure that Debrecen will be looking to avoid this at all costs.
The Debrecen manager Elemer Kondas has already stated that Debrecen will be fast out of the blocks tonight
to find some early goals to kill off the spirited Northern Irish side following an impressive 90 minutes last
week. Cliftonville will be aware of this and will have worked on continuing their defensive form from last week
in Hungary this evening. Their aim will be to keep tight, sit deep and then hit the home team on the break in
an attempt to secure a precious away goal. Their last away game in Europe saw them beaten 2-0 at Celtic
following a 3-0 home loss, but there is much more to play for in this Debrecen v Cliftonville tie this evening so
will we see a shock result?
After their fine showing at home last week the Northern Irish side will be sure to play to these strengths again
tonight in the second leg of this Debrecen v Cliftonville tie. As such, our football expert feels that Debrecen do
not offer much value in this match, especially to win by at least two goals @ 1.81, and he feels the value is to
be found on a lack of goals as the away team shut up shop.
Our GR88est Debrecen v Cliftonville bet is back -2.5 goals @ 2.10 with GR88.com.

2014 Gstaad Open Quarter Finals
2014 Gstaad Open Quarter Finals

Were down to the final eight players in Switzerland and todays tennis action comes from the 2014 Gstaad
Open quarter finals. Our tennis expert previews the Monaco v Bellucci and Youzhny v Haase matches on court
today.
Juan Monaco v Thomaz Bellucci: 1.66
2.14
The first of the two 2014 Gstaad Open
quarter finals that our tennis expert is
previewing today sees the fourth ever clash
of the players ranked 105th and 93rd in the
world as they battle each other for a place
in the semi finals here in Switzerland. Of the
two players it is Bellucci that leads their
personal scorecard having won two of the
previous three matches, including winning
their only clash since 2010 as he won on
home soil in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year.
The Brazilian recorded a fine 4-6, 6-3, 6-3
victory in his homeland, now can he repeat
that feat in this 2014 Gstaad Open quarter finals clash today?
Bellucci has been in fine form so far to reach the 2014 Gstaad Open quarter finals as he defeated qualifier
Gerald Melzer 6-3, 6-4 and fifth seed Federico Delbonis 6-4, 6-4 to book his place in the last eight stage of this
competition. Monaco has found it tougher going with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Romanian Victor Hanescu before
upsetting the odds to see off third seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 while dropping his first set of the
tournament. Our man in the know believes that the odds with GR88.com for this 2014 Gstaad Open quarter
finals match are correct in that this clash will be a close one, but he feels that Bellucci is the more likely to
take the victory today.
Our GR88est Monaco v Bellucci bet is back Bellucci +2 games @ 1.85 with GR88.com.
Mikhail Youzhny v Robin Haase: 1.38 2.98
The first and seventh seeds in this weeks Swiss tennis tournament clash for the seventh time in their careers
in this 2014 Gstaad Open quarter finals match today with both Youzhny and Haase looking to book their
places in the semi finals tomorrow. Of the two players it will be Youzhny who is the more confident as he has
won five of the previous six meetings between the two, including winning the final of this tournament last
year. However, Haase did claim his maiden victory against the Russian earlier this year in Bucharest and he
will be hopeful of back to back victories in this match. Can he defeat the top seed today?
Haase has not had it easy reaching this 2014 Gstaad Open quarter finals clash as he has dropped sets against
both Aleksandr Nedovyesov and Henri Laaksonen in the first and second rounds. He will need to prevent
dropping a set in this match as Youzhny, who has won his only match of the tournament against Kenny De
Schepper 6-3, 6-4 following a first round bye, will seize upon any mistakes. Our tennis expert feels that
Youzhny is the man to beat in this 2014 Gstaad Open quarter finals match and he is backing the Russian to
see off the Dutchman in a comfortable fashion.
Our GR88est Youzhny v Haase bet is back Youzhny -3.5 games @ 1.81 in the GR88 Sportsbook!
Toronto v Sporting KC MLS
Toronto v Sporting KC MLS

There are three matches playing in the MLS this evening and the first of this trio happens at BMO Field with
Toronto v Sporting KC. The teams sit third and first in the Eastern Conference, but wholl win this top of table
clash?
Although the two sides involved in this
Toronto v Sporting KC clash at BMO
Stadium tonight are separated by two
places and nine points this match could be
vital in deciding who will top the Eastern
Conference. Toronto have played three
fewer matches than Sporting KC before
this evenings game and should they
manage to take all three points they will be
just six points behind the league leaders
with a possible nine points available in
their games in hand. Can they win this
match and end a three game winless
streak against Sporting KC?
GR88.com do not believe so as they favourite an away win at the BMO Stadium this evening in what promises
to a tight and closely contested match in Canada. The GR88.com Toronto v Sporting KC betting odds are as
follows.
Toronto v Sporting KC Betting Odds:
Toronto to win 2.68
Draw 3.00
Sporting KC to win 2.30
The home team in this evenings Toronto v Sporting KC match bring a fine recent record of form into the
game as they have suffered just a single defeat in their last ten games, and bring a three match unbeaten run
into tonights game. They have collected 17 points from these ten matches having won four, drawn five and
lost only to DC United having been beaten 2-1 on home soil at the start of July. However, they do have a 4-2
home win over Houston as well as a 1-1 draw at home with the Vancouver Whitecaps and a 2-2 away draw in
Houston to their name in this time too. Their home record has seen win four and draw one of their last six
home games as they scored 12 goals and conceded seven. Can they keep up their goalscoring record in this
evenings Toronto v Sporting KC game and take all three points to close on the top of the table?
Although Toronto are in great form before tonights top of the table clash in the Eastern Conference, their
guests at the BMO Stadium are even better right now as they have won five of their last six MLS matches and
have 16 points from these six games as they moved past DC United to the top of the conference. While they
have not lost a match since the start of June only one of their six games on this unbeaten run has seen them
win by more than one goal and all of the last five have either been a draw or a single goal win. Their away
form has seen four straight wins after back to back defeats at the end of May and start of June and they have
scored seven goals and conceded just two in this run. Will tonights Toronto v Sporting KC match see the
Kansas City side continue this exemplary form?
In general matches between these two teams tend to be closer fought contests and five of the last six
meetings, including all of the last three, have seen the teams be separated by no more than a single goal. At
the BMO Stadium in Toronto v Sporting KC clashes it has been six years and seven matches since a side won
by more than one goal and with the teams serving up a 2-2 draw earlier this season our man in the know
feels that this game will once again be tight. However, he does see both sides getting on the scoresheet and
he feels that the value on this Toronto v Sporting KC match comes on the goals market, so he is betting
accordingly.
Our GR88est Toronto v Sporting KC bet is back +2.5 goals @ 1.96 in the GR88 Sportsbook!

This evenings only match in the MLS sees the clash of the sides sitting third in the Western Conference and
bottom of the Eastern Conference in this Real Salt Lake v Montreal Impact match. Wholl emerge victorious
tonight?
With this Real Salt Lake v
Montreal Impact match at the
Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy,
Utah seeing the clash of two
sides who are having very
different seasons in 2014 the
home team supporters and
players will be confident of
victory tonight. Real Salt Lake

Montreal are five points adrift
at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and desperately need to win this match if they are to avoid finishing

Montreal Impact match?
The odds makers do not see this happening as their Real Salt Lake v Montreal Impact match odds suggest
that this game tonight will end in a reasonably comfortable home victory. The GR88.com Real Salt Lake v
Montreal Impact betting odds are as follows.
Real Salt Lake v Montreal Impact Betting Odds:
Real Salt Lake to win 1.61
Draw 3.45
Montreal Impact to win 4.60
Despite the fact that tonights home team come into this match having collected 29 points from their 19 MLS
matches this season and sit third in the Western Conference they do not bring the best of forms into tonights
Real Salt Lake v Montreal Impact clash. They have won just one of their last eight matches in the league and
they have lost four of the other seven games in this run as they are averaging less than a point a game. They
are struggling for goals right now as these eight games have seen them score just six goals while they have
conceded double that amount in the same matches. They have been much better at home this season with
just one loss in nine matches at the Rio Tinto Stadium and they have beaten New England Revolution 2-1 and
drawn 1-1 with the Vancouver Whitecaps in their last two games. Will their lack of goals cost them in this Real
Salt Lake v Montreal Impact match or can they bring their fine home form out once again this evening?
Montreal know that they need to start winning games as they have collected just 14 points in 18 games this
season and their record before tonight sees them having lost all of their last three. Following a 1-0 loss to
Chivas USA at the start of July they have lost 2-1 to Sporting KC and Columbus Crew as they have failed to
collect a point all month long and with them having lost six and drawn three of nine away games this season
our man in the know feels that they are unlikely to change this form around in tonights Real Salt Lake v
Montreal Impact game.
The clash of these two sides will be just the third time that the teams have ever met following a 1-0 home win
for Real Salt Lake in 2012 and a 3-2 victory for Montreal Impact on home soil last year as they came from 2-1
down with ten minutes to go to take all three points. Our man in the know feels that the GR88.com Real Salt
Lake v Montreal Impact betting odds for this game are correct and that the hosts will take win this evening.
Although Montreal have not won on the road this season they will still push Real Salt Lake all the way and our
man in expecting a narrow win for the home side tonight.

2014 Atlanta Open Semi Finals
2014 Atlanta Open Semi Finals

Were down to the final four players at the BB&T Open in Georgia today as the 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals
as the John Isner v Jack Sock and Dudi Sela v Benjamin Becker matches play on the hard courts. Wholl make
the final?
John Isner v Jack Sock: 1.51 2.50
The first of the two 2014 Atlanta Open
semi finals matches playing this evening
sees the fifth ever meeting of the two
home favourites in the world numbers
12 and 72 who are North Carolina and
Nebraska natives. The two Americans go
head to head for the third time in 2014
following Isners 6-4, 6-3 victory on the
clay in Nice, France prior to the French
Open before Sock upset the odds on the
grass of The Hall of Fame Championship
at Newport earlier this month for his first
win against Isner with a 6-4, 7-6 win.
The scoreline between the two players
stands at 3-1 in total, but can Isner
make it 4-1 or will Sock claim back to
back wins to make it 3-2 in this 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals clash?
As the top seed here in Atlanta, Isner has needed to play just two matches to make it to the 2014 Atlanta
Open semi finals having received a first round bye. He struggled to defeat Robby Ginepri in round two as the
match ended 4-6, 7-6, 7-5, but the world number 12 found his rhythm in the quarter finals as he saw off
Marinko Matosevic 7-6, 6-4 to progress in another close game. Sock has played an extra game than the top
seed to reach these 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals yet he, unlike Isner, has not dropped a set on his run to
the final four. He defeated Alejandro Gonzalez, Michael Venus and Lukas Lacko and after his win in Newport
he will fancy his chances at victory today.
Our man in the know believes that these 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals betting odds are correct in that Isner
will progress to the final to defend the 2013 title, but he feels that Sock will push him all the way and he is
backing this match to go the distance.
Our GR88est Isner v Sock bet is back three sets in the match @ 2.24 with GR88.com.
Dudi Sela v Benjamin Becker: 2.00 1.76
Dudi Sela, the world number 94, and Benjamin Becker, who sits 66th in the ATP rankings, clash for the third
time in this 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals clash as they both look to take another step towards taking their
first title of the year. Becker did reach the final of the tournament in s-Hertogenbosch last month and he has
won both of their previous meetings on the ATP Tour as well as two matches on the Challenger Tour so
will he be able to continue his impressive form against the Israeli today?
Becker has been the more impressive of these two players in the tournament so far with three straight sets
wins over Matthew Ebdon, seventh seed Yen-Hsun Lu and Thiemo de Bakker, who defeated the second seed
Kevin Anderson. Sela has found it tougher going to reach this 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals with him
dropping a set to Vasek Pospisil, the fourth seed, after straight sets victories over Donald Young and ninth
seed Sam Querrey. Our tennis expert feels that this match will not be as close as the odds suggest and he is
backing cannot see anything but a comfortable victory for the German in this 2014 Atlanta Open semi finals
clash.

2014 Baku Cup Second Round July 24th
2014 Baku Cup Second Round July 24th

Todays action in Azerbaijan sees a continuation of the 2014 Baku Cup second round as the final quarter final
spots are filled. Our tennis expert previews the two biggest games in Cirstea v Voegele and Soler-Espinosa v
Svitolina.
Sorana Cirstea v Stefanie
Voegele: 1.55 2.38
The fifth ever meeting of the
Romanian and Swiss players ranked
29th and 72nd in the world sees the
victor in all four previous clashes the
favourite to continue her exceptional
form in this 2014 Baku Cup second
round match and book a place in the
quarter finals against Shahar Peer.
Can Sorana Cirstea live up to her pre-
match favourites billing and go 5-0
up against Voegele? This is the first
hard court meeting between these
two players since 2012 following 7-5,
6-3 and 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 wins for the
Romanian in Limoges and Monterrey
in 2011 and the following year. Their last clash came at Wimbledon in 2013 as the world 29 claimed a tightly
fought 7-5, 7-6 win, and Voegele is certainly starting to push her all the way but will this 2014 Baku Cup
second round match be the time that she claims her first victory against this familiar foe?
The Swiss player sitting 72nd in the WTA rankings has already seen off one Romanian in Azerbaijan as she
defeated Alexandra Cadantu 6-1, 6-4 in round one, but the top seed here is likely to be more difficult of a
challenge. Cirstea saw off Tunisian Ons Jabeur 6-3, 6-3 to reach this 2014 Baku Cup second round match
today and with her record against Voegele in the past our man in the know can see her progressing to the last
eight stage. He does see the Swiss player pushing her all the way, but he believes the top seed has enough to
edge this match reasonably comfortably.
Our GR88est Cirstea v Voegele bet is back Cirstea -2.5 games @ 1.77 in the GR88 Sportsbook!
Silvia Soler-Espinosa v Elina Svitolina: 2.90 1.40
Its Spain v Ukraine in this second of the two 2014 Baku Cup second round clashes that our tennis expert is
previewing today as the world numbers 73 and 37 meet for the first time in their careers. It is Svitolina who is
favoured to progress to a quarter final match with Pauline Parmentier as she is the second seed at the
tournament and defeated Shahar Peer in last years final to lift the 2013 Baku Cup. Can she continue her
defence with victory today?
The Ukrainian started her defence well with a comfortable 6-2, 6-4 win over Uzbekistani Nigina Abduraimova
and following her winning run here last year she will be supremely confident for this 2014 Baku Cup second
round match. Soler-Espinosa saw off Danka Kovinic of Montenegro 6-2, 6-4 in round one also and she will
fancy her chances, but our man in the know believes that with her being the defending champion it will be
Svitolina that progresses to the final eight stage today. He also sees the world number 37 winning the match
in a reasonably quick timeframe too and is betting accordingly.
Our GR88est Soler-Espinosa v Svitolina bet is back -20.5 games @ 1.91 with GR88.com.

San Jose v Chicago Major League Soccer
San Jose v Chicago Major League Soccer

There is just a single match being played in the MLS tonight with the San Jose v Chicago clash at the Buck
Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara. The hosts are in poor form at the moment, but can they turn that around
tonight on home soil?
Tonights San Jose v Chicago match at the
Buck Shaw Stadium sees a clash of the
sides sitting bottom of the Western
Conference and eighth of ten teams in the
Eastern Conference respectively. Despite
this poor conference positions things are
salvageable for both teams as the San
Jose Earthquakes are just six points behind
Chivas USA with two games in hand so
victory in both these games would leave
them just four points off the playoffs, while
the Chicago Fire are just three points away
from the top five spot and a place in the
end of season championships. Both teams
will be desperate to win this San Jose v
Chicago match tonight, but wholl take the
points?
GR88.com see this match ending as a home win for the Earthquakes as they look to go three home matches
against the Fire unbeaten. The GR88.com San Jose v Chicago betting odds are as follows.
San Jose v Chicago Betting Odds:
San Jose Earthquakes to win 2.08
Draw 2.98
Chicago Fire to win 3.05
The Earthquakes do not come into this match in good form having suffered four losses and one draw in their
last five MLS matches to leave them propping up the Western Conference. This set of results has seen them
fail to win since June 1st and they have just two goals to their name in this time, although both of these have
come in their last two matches as they were beaten by DC United and draw with New York Red Bulls. They
may not be scoring goals, but they have the ability to change this run around as they have conceded just six
times in these five games and have conceded just 19 in 17 matches, which is the third lowest in the entire
MLS. However, their average of one goal per game is causing them problems and they need to return to the
form that saw them score five in two matches at home in May. They have since scored just one goal in three
home defeats, but with this San Jose v Chicago match be a turning point for the Earthquakes?
The Fire bring a four match unbeaten run in the league into tonights San Jose v Chicago clash since suffering
a 3-2 home loss to the Seattle Sounders at the start of June and they will be buoyed by these results. They
may have drawn three of these four matches in which they are unbeaten, but they are collecting points and
have games in hand on the other sides battling for a place in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Victory
this evening will see them into the top five and with them having lost just once in their last eight away league
games our football expert feels they are deserving of being closer to their hosts in the GR88.com San Jose v
Chicago betting odds.
Head to head at the Buck Shaw Stadium these two sides are inseparable as the six San Jose v Chicago
meetings at this Santa Clara based arena has seen two home wins, two away wins and two draws since 2005.
The last time these sides played a San Jose v Chicago match was 2012 and we saw a 1-1 draw and with both
sides scoring and conceding, albeit in very small amounts, our man in the know would not be surprised to see
a repeat of this result. However, he could also see one of the teams snatching a winner and, as such, he is
covering all the bases on the goals market as his top San Jose v Chicago pick.
Our GR88est San Jose v Chicago bet is back 2/3 goals in the match @ 1.95 with GR88.com.

San Lorenzo v Bolivar Copa Libertadores
San Lorenzo v Bolivar Copa Libertadores

While European football is still emerging from its summer slumber were at the closing stages in South
America. Wholl take the advantage in the first leg of the San Lorenzo v Bolivar Copa Libertadores semi finals
tie tonight?
Last night saw Paraguayan
club Nacional Asuncon
take a step towards the
Copa Libertadores final
with a 2-0 victory over
Uruguayan side Defensor
Sporting, and now tonight
we have a clash of
Argentina v Bolivia in this
San Lorenzo v Bolivar
meeting in Buenos Aires.
Both of these teams have
not played a competitive
match since the end of
May, but with the
possibility of reaching the
final of the South American equivalent of the Champions League available for both sides, you can be sure that
the teams involved in this San Lorenzo v Bolivar match tonight will be desperate to bring an advantage to La
Paz next week.
GR88.com believe that it will be the Argentine side that secures victory this evening and travels to the Bolivian
capital with something to hold onto as they look to secure their first ever Copa Libertadores final berth. The
GR88.com San Lorenzo v Bolivar betting odds are as follows.
San Lorenzo v Bolivar Betting Odds:
San Lorenzo to win 1.42
Draw 3.60
Bolivar to win 7.80
San Lorenzo qualified for the Copa Libertadores having claimed victory in the league tournament in the first
half of 2013 in Argentina and they have looked impressive in this South America wide competition since. They
were involved in a tough group with Unin Espaola, Independiente del Valle and Botafogo that saw them
reach the knockout stages with better goal difference of a single goal ahead of Independiente. The last 16
stage saw them defeat Brazilian side Grmio on penalties before seeing off another Brazilian team in Cruzeiro
2-1 on aggregate in the quarter finals to book their place in this San Lorenzo v Bolivar semi final clash. They
have not scored well with just nine goals scored in ten matches, but they will be hoping to use their excellent
defensive base, which has seen them concede just seven in ten, to secure an advantage for the second leg of
this tie next week.
As the 2013 Bolivian Clausura champions Bolivar secured their place in this 2014 Copa Libertadores by
defeating Oriente Petrolero in a penalty shootout in December 2012 and despite it being more than 18 months
later they are still in with an excellent chance of booking their place in the final at the start of August. They
topped their group as they won three and drew two of six matches against Len, Flamengo and Emelec
before being drawn with Len in the last 16 stage. The Bolivians edged their way past the Mexicans on away
goals to make the quarter finals, where they secured a 2-1 win over Argentine side Lans and now they will
be confident of seeing off another team from Argentina to make the final in this San Lorenzo v Bolivar game,
but can they start with victory in the first leg?
The two sides have never faced each other before but with Bolivar having the better goalscoring record, at 13
in ten games, while the home team in tonights San Lorenzo v Bolivar match having the better defensive
record our South American football expert believes that we could see a very close match tonight. San Lorenzo
have won four of five home Copa Libertadores matches this season and their only draw was the only time that
they failed to keep a clean sheet. Bolivar have won just one of their five away games, although they did draw
three of the other four, and with the hosts excellent defensive record our man in the know feels that the
Bolivians will struggle tonight. However, he does not see them being defeated by many goals so they will have
plenty to play for next week in the second leg of this San Lorenzo v Bolivar tie.
Our GR88est San Lorenzo v Bolivar bet is back San Lorenzo to win by at least two goals (San
Lorenzo -1) @ 1.73 in the GR88 Sportsbook!

2014 Gstaad Open Second Round July 24th
2014 Gstaad Open Second Round July 24th

Day four in Switzerland sees action from the 2014 Gstaad Open second round matches and our tennis expert
previews the biggest pair of games in Troicki v Golubev and Struff v Verdasco. Where is he betting on todays
meetings?
Viktor Troicki v Andrey Golubev:
1.57 2.32
After seeing off Dominic Thiem in the
first round to book his place in this
2014 Gstaad Open second round
Viktor Troicki continues his
comeback from a year long ban for
missing a mandatory drugs test with
a first ever match against Andrey
Golubev. The two players come into
this match ranked 847th and 59th in
the world, but with the Serbian
Troicki having once sat 12th in the
ATP rankings these rankings offer
very little to go on. However, as this is just his second match back on the ATP Tour how will cope with playing
at a competitive level again after so long off?
Golubev had a more difficult time of the two players to book his 2014 Gstaad Open second round berth as he
needed three sets to overcome Spaniard Inigo Cervantes as he came from a set down to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 in a
nail biting finish the clash. Both players are likely to be rested for this match today having had yesterday off
and, as a result of this, our tennis expert feels that Troicki, who is the more naturally talented tennis player, is
deserving of being the favourite for this first ever meeting of these two players. As such, our man in the know
is backing Troicki to edge this 2014 Gstaad Open second round clash today.
Our GR88est Troicki v Golubev bet is back Troicki -2.5 games @ 1.87 with GR88.com.
Jan-Lennard Struff v Fernando Verdasco: 3.30 1.32
The second of the 2014 Gstaad Open second round matches that our man in the know is casting his expert
eye over sees the second ever meeting of Jan-Lennard Struff and Fernando Verdasco the players sitting
78th and 38th in the ATP rankings. Their only previous meeting came a year ago on the clay of Bastad in 2013
and it was the Spaniard in Verdasco who eased to victory in the last 16 stage with a 6-1, 7-5 scoreline. He will
fancy his chances of beating the German again after a first round bye as the fourth seed, but will Struffs first
round experience at this tournament see him progress?
Struff progressed to this 2014 Gstaad Open second round match following the retirement of Austrian Andreas
Haider-Maurer with Struff holding a 6-2, 1-0 advantage and he will be confident that his curtailed first round
game will see him bring the fight to the fourth seed here in Switzerland. He will also be boosted by the fact
that this win was his first win on clay in three attempts since Wimbledon, but with Verdasco reaching the semi
finals at Bastad this year and the second round in Hamburg our tennis expert is confident of a comfortable win
for the Spaniard today.
Our GR88est Struff v Verdasco bet is back Verdasco to win in straight sets @ 1.84 in the GR88

2014 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Winner
2014 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Winner

This weekend sees the second successive race of the Formula One season as the Hungaroring hosts the 2014
Hungarian Grand Prix. The Mercedes are expected to dominate proceedings again, but will it be Hamilton or
Rosberg to win?
Last weekend saw Nico Rosberg bounce
back from the disappointment of his first
retirement of the season at Silverstone and
the British Grand Prix with a victory on
home soil as he put in a dominant display
at the 2014 German Grand Prix at the
Hockenheimring. The result was never
really in doubt following a brake disk
explosion for Lewis Hamilton in qualifying
seeing him crash out and damage his
gearbox to the extent he needed to
change it, meaning he started 20th on the
grid. A fine performance followed from the
2008 world champion as he finished third,
but it was Rosberg who drove away at the
front early on and was never seen again as he took the chequered flag and extended his world championship
lead to 14 points over his team-mate. Will he be able to do the same at the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix this
weekend?
GR88.com do not believe so as they favour Hamilton to be the driver doing the bouncing back this weekend
and they foresee the Briton being the first across the finishing line at the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix and
taking the 25 points for victory. The GR88.com 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix betting odds are as follows.
2014 Hungarian Grand Prix Betting Odds:
Historically this race has been one of the strongest circuits on the F1 calendar for Lewis Hamilton as he has
taken the chequered flag on four occasions since 2007. He has won both of the last two races around the
Hungaroring and he will once again fancy his chances at victory for this years 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix too.
The Mercedes car is sure to suit the Hungaroring as they have the best aerodynamic package of all the cars
on the grid and while there are very few straights on this tight and twisty circuit the power and torque of their
engine will see them fastest down the start/finish straight and have the ability to pick up the pace quickest out
of the slow corners.
Our F1 expert cannot see anyone but a Mercedes winning this 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix, but will it be
Hamilton or Rosberg that takes the chequered flag? This track is certainly one of Hamiltons best tracks
following four victories in seven appearances here and while Rosberg is usually the one who performs better
on the slower, tighter and more corner filled circuits, such as Monaco where he won earlier this year, our F1
expert believes that Hamilton is the deserving favourite for victory in the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix this
weekend.
However, should there be an issue with one or both of the Mercedes cars or drivers on Sunday afternoon who
will be in the prime position to take the race win? After a horrible start to the season the Red Bull cars, driven
by Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, have edged their way to the front of the grid in recent times. They
are down on straight line speed but are still excellent in the corners making them almost perfect for this 2014
Hungarian Grand Prix. Either of these drivers could take advantage of any issues for Rosberg and Hamilton,
although our F1 expert believes that it would most likely be Ricciardo who is best placed having had the better
luck of the two drivers this season in the Red Bull garage.
If not Red Bull then the mightily impressive Williams team could be there to pick up the pieces too and our
man in the know could see Valtteri Bottas collecting his first win after a third and two second places in his last
three races should the Mercedes run into issues. Felipe Massa could also capitalise, but he, like Vettel, has
been on the end of some rotten luck in 2014 so our F1 expert would pick the young Finn of the two Williams
drivers.
If there were to be an issue for the Silver Arrows at the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix it would be close between
Ricciardo and Bottas for the win and could go either way with the Australian favoured by our expert after his
win in Canada earlier this season but our F1 expert cannot see past Lewis Hamilton taking the chequered
flag this Sunday afternoon.
Our GR88est 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix bet is back Lewis Hamilton to win @ 1.77 with
GR88.com.

2014 Baku Cup Quarter Finals
2014 Baku Cup Quarter Finals

Todays WTA tennis action in Azerbaijan sees the four matches from the 2014 Baku Cup quarter finals being
played. Our tennis expert previews the biggest two games in Mladenovic v Schiavone and Voegele v Peer.
Wheres he betting?
Kristina Mladenovic v
Francesca Schiavone: 1.87
1.88
The world numbers 81 and 75
meet for the second time in their
careers in this 2014 Baku Cup
quarter finals match today as they
both look to secure a place in the
semi finals of the tournament
tomorrow against the winner of the
Pauline Parmentier v Elina Svitolina
match. Their only previous meeting
on the WTA Tour came last week
when 21 year old Mladenovic saw
off the challenge of the 2010
French Open champion 13 years
her senior in Istanbul also at the quarter final stage. That match ended 3-6, 6-3 7-5 to the young French
player, now can she repeat that performance and progress from this 2014 Baku Cup quarter finals match?
She has not had the easiest run to the final eight stage having gone to a decider in both clashes played so far
as Heather Watson and Donna Vekic were beaten 6-2, 3-6, 6-0 and 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 in the first and second
rounds. Schiavone has seen things be a lot more comfortable for her as she defeated fourth seed Kurumi Nara
6-2, 6-2 before eliminating Julia Glushko 6-2, 7-6 to move into this 2014 Baku Cup quarter finals clash with
Mladenovic where she will be looking for some quick revenge after last week in Turkey. She may get it too as
our tennis expert feels that this match will be as close as the GR88.com match odds suggest and with it
promising to be a close match out man in the know is backing this game to go the distance.
Our GR88est Mladenovic v Schiavone bet is back +21.5 games @ 1.79 in the GR88 Sportsbook!
Stefanie Voegele v Shahar Peer: 1.49 2.56
The player that eliminated the top seed in the last round and the beaten finalist from last year here in
Azerbaijan meet for the first time in their careers in this Stefanie Voegele v Shahar Peer match in the 2014
Baku Cup quarter finals today. Both players will feel that they can secure victory today as they face each other
for the first time following some impressive performances here at the Baku Cup, but who will be celebrating
with a place in the final four stage?
Voegele upset the odds yesterday to book her place in the 2014 Baku Cup quarter finals with an astonishing
6-1, 6-1 defeat of the top seed Sorana Cirstea following a 6-1, 6-4 victory over another Romanian Alexandra
Cadantu in the first round. She has had things easier than Peer who dropped a set in a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over
Vesna Dolonc in the second round. Prior to that the Israeli had defeated sixth seed Yvonne Meusburger 6-2,
6-4 to see the Austrian defeated the first round.
Peer has the experience of reaching the final here in Azerbaijan following a match against Elina Svitolina last
year and this will surely help her today, but our tennis expert feels that the world number 90 will struggle
against the Swiss player sitting 72nd in the WTA rankings as she is showing some exceptional form so far this
week to reach these 2014 Baku Cup quarter finals. As a result of this, he is backing Voegele to just edge this
match and book her place in tomorrows semi finals.
Our GR88est Voegele v Peer bet is back Voegele to win in straight sets @ 2.14 with GR88.com.

St Pats v Legia Warszawa Champions League
St Pats v Legia Warszawa Champions League

This evening sees the second leg of the St Pats v Legia Warszawa tie in the Champions League second
qualifying round. The Irish side did well in Poland last week, but can they finish off the job at the Tallaght
Stadium tonight?
The second leg of this St Pats v Legia
Warszawa tie is finely poised as the sides
move from last weeks location of the Pepsi
Arena in the Polish capital to the capital of
Ireland as we will find out who makes the
third qualifying round of the Champions
League at Dublins Tallaght Arena. The
Irish side came within moments of a
memorable victory last week as they took
a 38th minute lead as Christy Fagan
opened the scoring, but after a heroic
performance by goalkeeper Brendan Clarke
in the second half the home team in the
first leg secured an injury time leveller to
ensure they are still in this St Pats v Legia
Warszawa tie. Which side will build on last
week and eliminate the other side tonight?
GR88.com believe that itll be the Polish side that have travelled to Dublin for tonights second leg that will use
their experience to see off St Pats tonight as they make Legia Warszawa the favourites to win this evening.
The GR88.com St Pats v Legia Warszawa betting odds are as follows.
St Pats v Legia Warszawa Betting Odds:
St. Patricks Athletic to win 4.50
Draw 3.45
Legia Warszawa to win 1.75
St Pats will be massively boosted by their performance in Poland last week that saw them come so close to
beating the vastly more experienced side in European competition and they will be looking to take the
positives from that match for tonights game. They will be gutted by the concession of that late goal, but
having had 100% accuracy at the Pepsi Arena as each of their seven attempts on goal hit the target they will
fancy their chances at finding the net again tonight to put it up to the Polish champions. As well as this
accuracy in front of goal St Pats will be boosted by the fact that they have won all of their last seven home
matches in all competition before tonights St Pats v Legia Warszawa game and they have scored 25 goals in
this time. Although they are playing away from their usual home stadium of Richmond Park as they travel a
short distance across Dublin to the Tallaght Stadium, they will be confident of keeping up the performance
level as the home side this evening after last week.
Legia Warszawa will be hurting that they did not claim the win in front of their home fans last week as they
controlled much of the match as they had 64% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal. However, they
were nowhere near as effective as their Irish opposition at challenging the goalkeeper as there were just three
attempts on target. The side that are managed by former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers defender
Henning Berg will aim to use their vast experience in Europe and clear ability, having claimed the last two
Polish league titles, to improve their shooting statistics tonight and book their place in the third qualifying
round of the Champions League for the second season running.
Our Champions League expert feels that the GR88.com St Pats v Legia Warszawa betting odds are correct as
the Polish champions have the better team of these two sides. However, with St Pats 20 matches into their
domestic season already they are the more match fit and are sharper in the field of play. The shots on target
stats from the first leg show this and our man in the know can certainly see the home side building from last
week and getting amongst the goals at the Tallaght Stadium tonight. Legia Warszawa will be the same and
will be desperate to progress so our football expert sees the value on this St Pats v Legia Warszawa game
being on goals being scored tonight.
Our GR88est St Pats v Legia Warszawa bet is back both sides to score @ 1.91 in the GR88
Sportsbook!

2014 Gstaad Open Round One July 22nd
2014 Gstaad Open Round One July 22nd

The second day of action in Switzerland sees a continuation of the 2014 Gstaad Open round one schedule and
our tennis expert previews the biggest matches, with Robin Haase and Gilles Simon on court. Will they both
progress?
Aleksandr Nedovyesov v Robin
Haase: 2.80 1.43
The first of the 2014 Gstaad Open round
one matches that our tennis expert is
casting his trained eye over is the
second ever meeting of the players
ranked 99th and 51st in the world. Their
only previous meeting came earlier this
year and it was the more lowly ranked
Nedovyesov from Kazakhstan that
claimed the victory on the clay courts in
Casablanca with a 7-6, 6-4, now can he
repeat that feat on the Swiss clay of this
2014 Gstaad Open round one clash
today?
Nedovyesov warmed up for this
tournament following a first round elimination at Wimbledon in the Netherlands with a lower tier event and he
reached the quarter finals of that tournament before falling to David Goffin. This is his best performance on
this surface this year having only progressed past the first round on clay three further times in this year, with
two of those being the win over Haase and a triumph in round one of the French Open. He did not pass the
second round, but can he manage to at least equal that today in this 2014 Gstaad Open round one match?
Haase has been hit and miss on clay this year as he has at times put in some great runs, with the quarter
finals in Buenos Aires and the semi finals in Bucharest the highlights, while he has exited a number of other
tournaments at the first round. He has progressed to round two on numerous occasions also and appears to
be more consistent than his Kazakhstani opponent today and is deserving of being the favourite to progress.
However, our tennis expert does not see this being an easy win for the Dutch world number 51 and he can
see this match stretching on.
Our GR88est Nedovyesov v Haase bet is back +21.5 games in this 2014 Gstaad Open round one
match @ 1.72 with GR88.com.
Gilles Simon v Pablo Andujar: 1.55 2.38
This 2014 Gstaad Open round one match sees a clash of France v Spain as the world numbers 36 and 71
meet for the third time on the ATP Tour. Their record stands at one win each from the previous two meetings
as Simon claimed a straight sets win on the hard court of the 2009 Australian Open before Andujar hit back on
the clay of Nice last year with a 6-4, 7-5 win. Will the Spaniard who trails Simon by 35 ranking places be able
to upset the odds once again and progress to the second round?
Simon brings a fine record into this 2014 Gstaad Open round one match having avoided a first round defeat at
any competition since the Monte Carlo Masters in April. He has since reached at least the second round of all
the clay court tournaments he has entered and reached the last eight in Bucharest and the semi finals at Nice.
He reached round three at Hamburg last week and will fancy his chances today.
Andujar was also at Hamburg last week looking to atone for a first round loss in Bastad in Sweden and he did
so by moving all the way to the quarter final stages, where he was beaten by world number seven David
Ferrer. However, he showed that he has plenty of clay court form and hell want to build on that this week. He
is the outsider to win and our tennis expert feels that this is another 2014 Gstaad Open round one match that
will be close and could go all the way as Andujar pushes the world number 36 to his limits.
Our GR88est Simon v Andujar bet is back +22 games @ 2.00 in the GR88 Sportsbook!

2014 Nanchang Open Second Round July 23rd
2014 Nanchang Open Second Round July 23rd

The WTA tennis action continues unabated in China today as the 2014 Nanchang Open second round of
matches begins today. Our tennis expert previews the biggest clashes of the day on the Far Eastern hard
courts. Where is he betting?
Shuai Peng v Ilona Kremen:
1.11 7.60
The first of the pair of 2014
Nanchang Open second round
matches that our tennis expert is
previewing from todays day three
schedule in China sees the first
ever meeting of the players ranked
50th and 252nd in the WTA
rankings. It is the more highly
ranked Shuai Peng that is favoured
to see off the Belarusian and reach
the quarter finals of her home
tournament as she looks to
improve her hard court game
before the start of the US Open in
just over one months time. She moved from the first round into this 2014 Nanchang Open second round with
ease as she defeated fellow Chinese player Xinyun Han 6-1, 6-3 now can she progress further into this event?
Kremen had a fantastic start to her tournament here in China as she saw off Japanese world number 307 Mari
Tanaka 6-1, 6-1 to move into round two and although this win will have given her a massive confidence boost
can she upset the odds to see off Peng? She has won just one match all year against a player inside the top
100 in the world and with Peng having reached the final of her last tournament in China on a hard court at
Shenzhen earlier this year our tennis expert can see this 2014 Nanchang Open second round match easily
going the way of the world number 50.
Our GR88est Peng v Kremen bet is back Peng -6.5 games @ 1.82 with GR88.com.
Noppawan Lertcheewakarn v Qiang Wang: 3.25 1.33
This 2014 Nanchang Open second round clash sees a meeting of Thailand and China as the players ranked
213th and 181st in the world meet for the first time in their careers having successfully navigated the first
round of this tournament. Lertcheewakarn defeated home favourite Hao Chen Tang 6-2, 6-4 in round one,
while Wang saw off seventh seed Ying-Ying Duan 6-4, 7-6 to book her place in the second round of this
competition, but which of these two players will make the final eight stage to face the winner of the Peng v
Kremen match?
Wang has had some fine results on the ITF Tour this year so far with tournament victories in New Delhi,
Kurume and Tianjin already secured. New Delhi and Tianjin saw Wang take victories on the same surface as
this 2014 Nanchang Open second round match will be played and after upsetting the odds against the world
number 169 in the opening match she will be confident today. Lertcheewakarn has just one final appearance
in the ITF to her name this season as she was beaten by Zarina Diyas in Quanzhou in March and despite her
fine win in the first round here in Nanchang our tennis expert cannot see anything but a comfortable victory in
this match for Qiang Wang.
Our GR88est Lertcheewakarn v Wang bet is back Wang 4.5 games @ 1.81 in the GR88
Sportsbook!
