Thomas Tuchel will lead his troops to Lille on Tuesday. AOP
The most interesting game of the day
Chelsea, the reigning champion of the Champions League, is today embarking on a playoff move towards a possible historic state of succession in European football.
So far, only Real Madrid has been able to renew its Champions League victory, which began in 1992-1993, in the following season. Real Madrid won as many as three consecutive years in the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons.
Chelsea’s lottery for the opening round of the playoffs was almost the best it could be, as Lille, who won, is not one of the strongest teams still involved – on the contrary, it is ranked the third most unlikely winner of the championship in the betting market.
Chelsea is a much tougher team than Lille, the home team has a big role to play today and I also appreciate at least Chelsea Thomas Tuchelia higher than Lille Jocelyn Gourvennecia.
In terms of line-ups, Chelsea will have to give Lille some leveling off in midfield and defense Reece Jamesin, Ben Chilwellin, César Azpilicuetan, Mason Mountin and Callum Hudson-Odoin probably in the absence of a playing crew.
At the head Romelu Lukaku in the previous Chelsea Premier League match against Crystal Palace took a bit of a breath by touching the ball only seven times. Prior to that, the Belgian was the team’s decider in the World Championships for club teams. Chelsea’s attacking head is healthy, so if Lukaku is still tired, the necessary substitutes will be found.
Lille has no significant assembly concerns.
I already consider Chelsea to be a really big giant favorite in this opening match of the pair, about three times out of four. With the new rules of the competition, Chelsea doesn’t have to worry about Lille’s foreign goal today. I think this is seen as Tuchel approaching the match boldly and offensively.
The best payout for Chelsea’s success in the Long Draw comes from the -1.25 goal line at the Asian Handicap side with a odds of 1.69.
Chelsea – Lille starts at 10pm.
The best bet of the day
Tuesday’s best long-haul search can be found at snooker’s European Masters.
A 27-year-old Iranian Hossein Vafaei is of a strong rise of its kind. The highly skilled Pussittaja has risen to the highest ranking of his career on the world list in February (21st). In his 31 games of the season, Vafaei has lost just 9, with a win of 64.5%.
Vafaei’s absolute strength is the ability to hit the ball, but correspondingly a certain amount of patience is still in development. The level of the Iranian within the game may fluctuate a lot. This combination of features should be used to advantage against a suitable opponent in betting by fetching “overtime” in Vafae’s games, ie playing a lot of frames in the game.
Today, Vafaei’s opponent is the 15th Scot on the world list Anthony McGill. McGill is an almost ideal macth-up for Vafae in terms of frame number over; a steady high-end player who can confidently take advantage of Iranian slips.
The game is played in the best of nine systems, meaning winning five frames is required to win. At Veikkaus, the game’s goal line is 7.5 in the frame, which means that an over will be reached if either snooker wins 5–3 or 5–4.
Personally, I see the game in such a way that Vafaei will almost certainly get those three frames with his skills in the match and, correspondingly, will also lose the frames to his careless mistakes. When Veikkaus offers the highest odds of 1.81 on the market for more than 7.5 frames, it is a great hint.
The game by Hossein Vafaei and Anthony McGill is scheduled to start at 9 p.m.
Mestis’ most tasty targets are the 1.92 odds offered for more than 5.0 goals in the SapKo – TUTO Hockey match and the 1.78 odds offered for more than 5.0 goals in the Peliitat – Hermes match.
In the Peliitat – Hermes match, the home team’s direct 60-minute win of 2.60 is also a slight overplay. The 1.84 coefficient of more than 5.5 goals in a Hokki – JoKP match is also a borderline case.
Mestis matches will start at 6.30 pm.
Games of the day: Peliitat – Hermes, more than 5.0 goals (odds 1.78) and Peliitat – Hermes 1 (odds 2.60).
The total balance of the year’s games for the year: 17/25/120%
