Hosts to strike first blow

Shakhtar Donetsk v Sevilla
Thursday April 28, 20:05
Sevilla coach Unai Emery is a master of the two-legged tie, and he has a glut of quality players, but this is a huge test for a team that just isn't performing as well as it can on the road. In all competitions Sevilla have played 27 away games, and they have won a grand total of four matches. 12 of those matches have been lost, including three of the last four.
The Match Odds market is split down the middle, but I fancy Shakhtar to get a result against a Sevilla side that is coming up short on the road time and time again. We can back the hosts Draw No Bet at 1.97, which sees our stake returned if the match ends in stalemate.

Back Shakhtar Donetsk Draw No Bet at 1.97

"He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...

Biggest ever UEFA international qualifying scorelines in history

In light of UEFA footballing minnows Andorra, Gibraltar, Malta and San Marino all taking on much higher-ranked opponents Portugal, Belgium, England and Northern Ireland respectively this international break, that got Coral writers thinking. Goals galore are expected in each of those fixtures, so we find out some of the biggest scorelines in the history of World Cup and Euro qualifying from European nations. England 8-0 Turkey (1987) We start off with England and, although their 8-0 win is not the biggest scoreline on the list, it was against one of the most high profile – Turkey.

Spain 8-0 Liechtenstein (2016) Most recently, Spain hammered tiny territory Liechtenstein 8-0 too this current World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign, thanks to braces from Diego Costa, David S...
