    Default WCQ - Ukraine vs Greece: Discussion

    Pavy what's the word on Greece? I thought the +500 was underestimating them, Ukraine arn't great they lack the creativity to crack the defense and will resort to taking long shots. Greece will try to grab a goal on a set piece and sit on it, +0.5 at +120 looks tempting.

    The Under 2.5 is likely but its been priced so short the odds arn't worth taking.

    The match will be played at the new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donbass_Arena stadium, the weather is going to be around 0 C and it could be raining.

    I don't think the weather will affect Greece. It will actually help them because it will slow down Ukraine. I think no team will risk exposing the back and I like the draw and the under 2 goals. Greece will be playing with 3 central defenders which makes it hard to score goals at either end. Greece played before at hostile crowds and they can cope with the pressure.

    I just took Ukraine pk to qualify for 10 units. I believe Ukraine will wait until Greece make a mistake and pounce. It will be a very tight game. I know Otto has his boys ready to go but Ukraine are the better side very slightly. Oh wait sorry I'm not Pavy.

    I'm on Greece here. This match will be similar to the first leg. Greece THRIVES on set pieces and it makes them very dangerous. I'm on Greece +0.5 and under 2.

    I'm on Greece as well, large. So much public action on Ukraine its disgusting, and Greece is getting that late sharp action right now

    This proves it:

    This morning Greece was PK +150, then about 30 mins ago line changed to Greece +0.5/+1. THEN, 5dimes removed the lines from the board altogether, and just 5 minutes ago they put it back.

    Greece is now +0.5 (-113)

    Do yourself a favor, and take Greece.

    201 Greece (WorldCup-Q) +½ -113 vs Ukraine (WorldCup-Q)

    I'm IN, wish I had done this earlier with the super high odds.

    Greece is a late steamer, on some books they dropped from +500 to +400 since this post was written

    This tells you the power of the SBR posters. They move lines.

    I hedged my Greece ML on Betfair which covered the +0.5 line with a little profit on top before the game started.

    Nothing better than getting the early line.

    good start, and I doubt Ukraine even get one here.

    1st half finished much better than I had planned, Greece will defend this lead with their life, even if Ukraine get a goal Greece would still go through, Otto Rehhagel will get the team to do what he's spent years perfecting, the art of defense.

    Common Greece

    Greece is thin on defenders. The best defender had to be substituted in the middle of first half. This is not a done deal yet.

    I was contemplating taking Greece to qualify @ +150, dammit!

    You're right it is not over yet, but will be very tough in the 2nd half for Ukraine.

    We've seen the end of the game. Greece will defend that goal and win!
