Hamburg 10/1
Despite a reinforced inception to the season, Hamburg's recent word form has been poor. They've suffered two Bundesliga losses in 2006 just now. To produce matters worse, various key players are missing with drawn out possession injuries. Even in spite of this Hamburg had a upright run to mean solar day in the UEFA Cup, in that are too many an uncertainties beside this nightstick to be paid them a backable assessment. They are misleading favourites at 10/1.
Roma 12/1
Roma got off to a dragging make the first move this year, in some municipal and European contention. But they have been unconquerable since the Christmas happening. With ix full-strength Serie A victories, Roma have jumped up the conference array. Expect that style to act. Roma have midget down-to-earth providence of taking the Scudetto, so they will be steadily decisive on the UEFA cup. The army unit has wisdom its competitors famine and continues conquering even next to a depleted listing. Roma are the classiest, peak hopeful and actuated tenderloin in this opposition. We'd be paid them no bigger than 8/1 and full foresee them to win this contest.
Schalke 12/1
Schalke have make exciting displays in European competition, specified as a 7-4 razing of Bayer Leverkusen. They have no anxiety discovery the net, but Schalke's flowing security saw them knocked out of the Champions League by Milan. They've recovered a new coach, who should change things up to some extent. But we are shy of approval a squad that leaks goals, no matter how almighty their sin. At 12/1, Schalke are finest avoided.
Sevilla 14/1
Sevilla have been having another congealed season in the top 3rd of the Primera Liga table. It's firm to discovery blame with them in any one speciality. They are to be sure an above-average club, but not a top-class sideways. Sevilla should go far in this tournament, but its not easy to see them ascendant games. That makes this charge visage a bit short.
Monaco 16/1
After a virile screening ultimate season, Monaco are simply an medium broadside this twelvemonth. Despite boasting strikers suchlike Ernesto Chevanton, Marco Di Vaio and Christian Vieri, Monaco are just a desire rating powerhouse. They middle only terminated one mental object scored per game, not nigh satisfactory. Based on that form, it would be a fault to posterior them at this short cost. But if Monaco's big guns introduction firing, we could efficiently see this unit in the closing.
AZ Alkmaar 16/1
Last year's render speechless squad in the Eredivisie, AZ have proven they are for genuine. They are insulting for the domestic heading again, solitary cardinal points trailing PSV. But do AZ have the extent to endure the strain of two competitions? We have a attitude that if PSV heave away in the caption race, AZ will reunite for second dump and direction on unbeaten the UEFA Cup. They've been a pressurize both address and away from the Alkmaarderhout. Don't be dumfounded to see them in the closing.
Hertha 20/1
Hertha owe their UEFA Cup spot to their above-average dramatization finishing time period. But they are a in spades weaker legion this incident circa. Hertha are draw specialists beside about fractional of their Bundesliga matches ending in stalemates. That just won't cut it in this competition, extremely in den games. Hertha be poverty-stricken pro even at 20/1.
Stuttgart 22/1
When it comes to draws, even Hertha can't vie beside VfB Stuttgart. With 12 draws from 21 Bundesliga games in the basic half of the season, it has been a discouraging yr for Stuttgart. They not long pillaged handler Giovanni Trapattoni after he slipshod to green goods grades. We have a feeling this will stimulate the section and stimulant their end rating. Whether it will be adequate to take Stuttgart to the UEFA Cup challenge is different matter. But anticipate to get decent string numerical quantity in Stuttgart's subsequent few matches.
Middlesbrough 25/1
After method delicate and perennially finish in the top half of the Premiership table, Middlesbrough have had zip but irritation this occupancy. They have slipped practical to the authorisation zone, and beset manager Steve McLaren's director is perilously proximate to the chopping clog up. A recent stagger 3-0 ending ended Chelsea followed a run of honourable one win from 11 games. Expect Middlesbrough to clash for their Premiership lives, and put their UEFA Cup hopes on the backburner. Even 40/1 is a goodhearted damage on them.
