well, Mr Armpits (Michael) didnt get assigned for any of the european matches this week. Covid quarantine? or maybe perhaps it was due to the fact he handed out 5 yellows BEFORE the half up in Munich last week. which im fairly certain didnt help out his grade. ehhh? there goes my 'safety net' wager this week.
UEL: sticking to the Serie A clubs for now. (Milan/Roma/Napoli)sounding like a broken record but cannot keep emphasizing this: this seasons scheduling is ridiculous.
Milan/Sparta - Piolis side just played a tough one late Monday night which got pretty chippy towards the end of that 3-3 draw. and they get the earlier start here? 
Pioli will rotate, and possibly heavily too. keeping in mind the dropoff isnt that big, theyve been winning without a regular lineup since beginning of season and Tonali expected to start. and as long as Milan sitting on the perch of Serie A, that is going to take priority; so after winning in Scotland last week this could be a 'throw-away' type. Sparta too are sitting in 1st place in Czech, and their league has been suspended to Covid (im suprised theyre even allowed to travel); they were thumped at home last week by Lille but was advised plenty of distractions surrounding Prague with the Covid so it might have contributed to the loss. not saying Milan will lose this one but 800s on the outrights for the visitors seems too much, worth a shot given the situation. Sparta +1.5 @-105
Roma/CSKA - Smalling finally back, Dzeko getting rested & Fonseca looks like he'll be rotating about 4-5 regulars. CSKA just sacked their coach & outside of Ludgorets + Plovdiv, the dropoff in talent is pretty steep here. was initially planning to take them on HC cause as mentioned above, Roma just played monday night an have a toughie with Fior on the wknd but still hae a bit more quality for this opponent, and Fonsecas style/approach makes this worth a shot: Roma to score in both halves @evens
Sociedad/Napoli - again, Napoli likewise are rotating here. and of the 3 coaches, I feel most confident in saying this in that Gattuso is "old school"; the Scudetto race is far more important than UEL. and they have a showdown with 3rd place Sass on the wknd (which, by the way, is going to be a barnburner). Mertens/Oshimen getting rested along with about 4 others.
just wanted to give mention, Napoli was @home last week with pretty much a full strength side (to begin with), and LOST to a Dutch side whom were hit by Covid and had 13 players stay home. and now they go to Liga-land.... fyi, ALL of the Spanish sides take this thing seriously because cracking the Top 4 over there has been next to impossible the past decade or so but with Sociedad sitting on top im having second thoughts. a little juiced but sticking with the btts @-133
might have a few others later but god forbid if can figure out motivation.
