Maribor takes on Celtic in a massive Champions League playoff clash, but the fact is the only deserving team here is Maribor – Celtic was blown out by Legia Warszaw in the previous round, getting here only due to huge luck, winning the reverse leg by default.
I have to say I don’t like this Maribor team at all. I had a couple of losses on them last season and they had A LOT of luck for a whole lot of times, winning despite being dominated or scoring in injury time. However, you have to give the Slovenians credit – they got trough the Europa League group stages last year and even gave Sevilla a fight in the knockout stage. Maribor won the league easily and seems in a very good spot right now, backing up last seasons` success with an elimination of a solid Maccabi Tel Aviv side. Maribor is a team that generally likes to sit back and defend, very patient, they are hard to break down, especially at home.

How much luckier can Celtic get? It`s the second time in 4 years when they advance in Europe by default after losing on the pitch. This time however, the luck was unbelievable. Celtic was simply demolished by Legia Warszaw in the previous round, losing 4-1 away (with Legia missing 2 penalties) and 2-0 at home. Unfortunately Legia used an ineligible player for 4 minutes in the second leg and lost the game 3-0 by default, so Celtic qualified due to away goals – laughable scenario really. Nevertheless, the Scots remain a decent team and they will surely be eager to recover and redeem themselves. They started the domestic league with 2 blowout wins and they will hope to improve after getting some more matches under the new manager.
Team news: Maribor is relatively healthy, Celtic will miss Brown, Matthews and Forrest, while star GK Forster has been sold to Southampton.
This has the makings of a low scoring encounter and I reckon the first half especially will see a very cautious approach by both sides. A draw at half time seems like a good bet. Maribor is an organized, disciplined side, they will look to close down the Scots and keep a clean sheet, while Celtic after the Legia humiliation will surely be more focused and careful at the back. My tip here will be not the draw, but 0-0 at half time. Prediction: Maribor – Celtic 1-1 (0-0 half time).

intresting pick.i noticed that to every game you posted a possible corect score.can you tell me how many was right from the last 30 soccer matches you posted just to make a ideea. thanks mate and good luck
interesting question 3 from 30 … chiajna – dinamo 1-3, france germany 0-1, france – nigeria 2-0. However I`m ZERO from the last 22 … with my form, it`s no surprise.
make that 4 out of 31, but with a lost bet, cause I took the 0-0 like a rookie instead of my initial half time draw. Man, when you`re out of form everything seems to work against you.
my friend,you said that maybe you have minus on one month,but at one year you are sure in profit.well i look to the editors balance and i see a big minus 236.how can you explain that.
no point in looking for excuses. I have none, Ocean has none. What can I say … nothing I say will do any good, fact is right now I am looking like a very poor tipster.
I`m taking all steps to get out of the slump.Do I have confidence in my abilities? Yes – I can`t become such a bad tipster overnight. I have proof of my winnings on my ex-Romanian website, so it`s documented that I can make profit, I`m not lying. I will keep striving to provide good information and we`ll see how it goes. I have NO excuse.
