Torpedo Moscow coming home after 8-1 thrashing by Zenit over the weekend.
They are playing Amkar Perm. Amkar was a mid-table Premier League team last year and Torpedo was just newly promoted.
Amkar yet to score so far this year in the premier league, but for my money have a more established side and should see this as a good opportunity to get some points. I played them +0.25 (+125)
Also played ManU-1 (-135) today. This is a total homer bet for sure, but, this is the last tuneup before premier league starts. LvG already has thrown down the hammer and let it be known that some prominent players no longer have a future at OT. I like that. Not that it puts them in a strong bargaining position for transfer fees, cause it doesn't, but it lets the rest of the squad know he's not fucking around right off the get go and all players should be on notice. Few key guys not fit, but they haven't played since the WC anyway. First game at OT for Shaw and Herrera, and this against Mata's old team, so I expect that United at least put on a strong performance. I liked over, but not playing o3 in this one, so I'll instead lay the handicap on a team that's been playing well of late.
SuperCup final in Cardiff today too. RM/Sevilla. I think RM will put an actual lineup out there today as it is a trophy game of sorts. Sevilla may be up for the match, but fucking Real just has an embarrassment of riches over there. This has the makings of a drubbing, as let's face it, Sevilla will be fighting for a Europa League spot this year, Real will be battling for titles. Sevilla nowhere near as deep and probably be happy to get out of this one with a respectable showing and full fitness when said and done.
