tipstonga

The Football World Cup 2006 turned me interested in sports betting and soon understood it was not so easy. Fortunately I found OLBG then. So I have been learning and enjoying this site for 18 years now. Progressively I began to improve and I felt very happy when I started to get top position in 6-month profit in some football categories, horse racing and tennis. Also I realised I have grown in objectivity through these blogs when I got the first position in Argentine football blogs. Finally blogger prizes and pro status in tennis completed what I think as my basic learning. I am proud of having beat the Bookies in the site competitions and also, in real life overall balance since those 2006 days.

Francisco (ranked 22nd) is in a very good moment. He has cruised through this tournament without losing a set. Ben Shelton is younger and 15th in the ranking. Ben has done well in this tournament, but he is not properly a clay player. He arrived in Munich with only 1 match played and lost this season. His W/L rate is only 10/7 against 17/8 of his opponent.

I find chances are higher for Cerundolo due to his performance this year, especially on clay, superior to Shelton's. The latter won their only head-to-head last year at Indian Wells (hard) in a highly disputed match: 7-6, 3-6, 7-6. So I expect the result inverted but with 3 close sets.

As their only H2H - Indian Wells 2024 (hard) - was highly disputed: 7-6, 3-6, 7-6, I expect that this one will be alike with the only difference that the result will be inverted due to the larger experience of Francisco on clay and his better performance this season.

The selection has been in an improving sequence, winning in C&D last time. In the penultimate race, today's major threat, Glen Buck, won with the pick being less than a length behind. Both were then on the same mark, and today Old Harrovian is only 1lb higher. It comes from a successful yard, and Oisin Murphy on the saddle will largely help a new win.

Chelsea

Chelsea have already defeated Legia Warsaw in the reverse leg by 3 to nil. There is no surprise to expect here, despite Chelsea not being at the highest level in its history.
20:00 Eintracht Frankfurt v Tottenham

Eintracht Frankfurt

Spurs is in a forgettable season. Of the last 5 games, they lost 3, got a draw against Frankfurt at home, and could only defeat the team placed at the bottom of the PRL table. Frankfurt has been solid in the Bundesliga and has the best chances to win this match. Value.

It seems that Man Utd grows against strong opponents despite being bad in the Premier League this season. Today, the host went to Lyon, equalized since the first half to the last two minutes when it got the score advantage to lose it soon. Previous to this game, Man Utd drew at home in the Manchester Derby. This match will go to extended time and... who knows.

Sesvete is 3rd in this table of 12. Its home performance is 7W 2D 4L. Cibalia is in the middle of the table with a 3W 3D 6L record away. It looks interesting to take Sesvete's side even if you do not know much about Croatian football.

20:00 Inter Milan v Bayern Munich

Draw

The leader of Serie A and Bundesliga clash today again after the victory of Inter by 2-1 in the reverse leg in Germany. That game was the only one of the quarter-finals to be an away victory. So, I think that Bayern Munich will not be able to win, and in the defensive philosophy of Italian football, Inter will not risk anything to win. The guest has many men injured.

I expect Arsenal to qualify, but Real Madrid at home seems a hard challenge. Tuesday's matches showed that hard defeats were close to being overcome but were not. The best performance of Arsenal along the last 5 weeks has been defeating Real Madrid, but that game was surrounded by many Gunners' draws, too many.

Lady Of The Isles failed in its debut this December in a mile at Kempton. But connections make us think that it would be much better today. The shorter distance, with Rossa Ryan on the saddle this time, will help its cause.

None of them is fond of clay. Both played and lost one match on this surface. On hard, both players lost 6 games. Botic won 3, Ben won 10. In 2021, they played head-to-head on hard, and Ben, who was then starting, lost in 3 sets. Nowadays, Shelton has climbed to place 22nd in the ranking. Botic is currently in step 89th. Value.

Sebastián, ranked 35th, is likely to upset the market by beating Holger, currently 13th. Baez is more efficient on clay: the score H2H on clay is 2-1 for him, having won their last match weeks ago at Rome.

A victory of Baez, although the most probable outcome, will not be easy. The last head-to-head at Rome 2024 (clay) took Sebastián 3 sets to complete.

These players, currently in the middle of the Top 100, have very similar figures. But the point is that Luciano is clearly oriented to clay, having won at Marrakesh this year and at Córdoba, Argentina in 2024. His W/L on clay is 6/3. Kecmanovic has lost the only match on clay played this year. No doubts.
