Tre Penne is at 50/1 haha, was even 60 at one point but I don't mind taking them even against my own favourite. Go San Marino =D

Tre Penne lost with 3:0, so that could be counted as good game for them
Sarajevo is out, they had easy home match with Moldavians, and after conceiving fast goal they did not had courage to come back

nevertheless, first round is finished, and there will more interesting matches from this point, with higher level clubs joining

I think this is very reasonable, because the competition is still very new and of course there will be very few football fans who know the format and also the teams competing in the competition now, maybe if the competition goes well enough in the first season, I am very sure if the conference league in the future will be able to become one of the competitions that is quite prestigious in my opinion, as is the case with the champions and european leagues which have become a competition that has indeed become very global and has also become the target of clubs and football players to be able to play in these competitions.

Yeap, I also see it as a competition that has a lot of potentials to become famous.
I'm still trying to get to know the teams better and make some bets "here and there" without the intention of winning anything right now, just forcing myself to get to know the teams better and be able to make more accurate bets.
It's been fun despite stealing me more time than anticipated.

I just hope that soon we will have more sites accepting bets in this competition.

@alegotardo at this stage I’m only keeping a watch from distance, because I don’t know many of these teams hence I won’t be wagering now. Furthermore the only way this league can gain traction is if some popular teams end up in the semis or the finals, because if some unknown team ends up in finals then the league won’t gain much traction amongst the fans.

Indeed! Markets weren't available or I'd have taken a HT handicap, which was 10/1, and they did actually end the HT "only" 0-1 down! Really have to find more of these markets during the early rounds. Polish teams have done well so far, as did 2 of 3 Irish teams. Armenia not so much, except that famous Ararat win. Not a bad league after all eh?

[buwaytress]

Need some love for our farmers' league is playing right now and the British are having mixed fortunes, The New Saints already 4-0 up so should progress quite easily to meet Viktoria Plzeň/Dynamo Brest, but Connah's Quay are fighting two goals down with not much left to play. Hibs to win the late game you think?

There is 49 2nd round qualifiers games today. I'm going to make some small bets today:
Molde vs Servette - home win @1.72
Qarabaq vs Ashdod - home win @1.67
Soshi vs Keshla - over 2.5 @1.70
Olimpija vs Birkirkara - over 2.5 @1.75
Petrocub vs Sivasspor - away win @1.72
AEL - Vilaznia - home win @1.67
Shkupi vs Santa Clara - away win @1.82
Ujpest vs Vadzu - home win @1.82
This round with many not familiar team is still to risky to play with big money.

agree, while I do not play big money on bookies for some time now, days like this are great to put some small money to have whole day to watch some smaller teams

Slask and Astana are in the lead, in first matches, and I have few on my list as well, Plzen over2.5, Copenhagen over2.5, Partizan home win
regarding Ujpest, the odds on home win is rising, not sure about that match, Vaduz is playing Swiss league, and their only match in Budapest finished 0:4 in UEFA qualification

[buwaytress]

Stayed away from this one myself, got bitten by UCL qualifications and Olympics, so going to save myself some money for the weekend instead. If I WERE betting though, I'd eye these upsets:

Ashdod (vs Qarabag) @7/1
Maribor (vs Hammarby) @7/1
Laci (vs Universitatea Craiova) @5/1

And if adventurous a complete unknown to me Drita (20/1) vs Feyenoord because... Dutch teams have been struggling haha.

[ingiltere]

I watched Turkish side Demir Grup Sivasspor match, they won 1-0 in away game. They also missed a penalty at extra time. Yatabare should've shot better in that penalty kick. Still one goal advantage is good in away game, I'm sure at home they will play with full concentration and win again. Honestly I haven't even heard Petrocub before this game, Moldova is a small country and this is an average team. I'm glad Sivas won the game because we desperately need country coefficient points.

[Joca97]

A lot of wierd results today in this new tournament was expecting a lot more winners from favorites. For me the main favorite for today was Partizan but they only won 1-0 was expecting a much bigger win. Also Feyenord wasnt able to win today thats a big shock in todays matches

[LTU_btc]

Won 6 of 8 my bets tonight, I think it's not bad result. But there was some really surprising results.
Feyenoord didn't managed to beat small team from Kosovo, game ended 0:0.
Fola from Luxembourg beat Shakhtyor Soligorsk 2:1
Torshavn from Faroe Islands demokished Buducnost from Montengro 4:0.
Inter (from Andorra, not Milan) won 2:0 against Teuta.
Teams from completely amateur leagues having really good time so far.

@LTU_btc winning 6 out 8 bets is very good especially considering this is a new league, so which two matches did you lose on?. Also how are you wagering on these matches, as most of the teams are unknown to me, do you actually dig up their history or it’s more gut based wagering if you should share some insights.

yeah, expected more from Partizan as well, although Slovakian team is better than expected, 1:0 could be tricky in re-match
Feyenoord did not won in the end, and Buducnost and Borac Banja Luka losing by high margin are also somewhat unexpected results

Ujpest came in the end, 2:1, and Hajduk beat Tobol from Kazakhstan at home, there were material to put a good bet, but I have put live bet on Feyenoord in the second half, that they will eventually score a goal in Pristina, did not happen unfortunatelly

I lost bet on Olimpija - Birkirkara game where I had over 2.5 goals and also I backed Qarabaq to win, but their game ended 0:0.
I bet on teams which are at least a bit faniliar for me or I saw them playing. Also, I consider strength of league from which team come from. Finally, I follow UEFA tournaments qualfication for maybe 10 years already, so it helps to know who is who. Still, wouldn't call myself as expert there.

Conference League returns tonight and while I avoided bets on UCL qualification last night, I might dip into the underdogs here.

Qarabag seem best value at around 2/1 but Hibernian actually looks like a good bet only 15/10 but they dominated the last match.

Anyone here supporter of a team they want to get through tonight?

I'm still wondering if I make any bets on these games, the biggest obstacle for me to avoid placing bets on these games is because I don't know these clubs, it's difficult for me to do pre-game analysis, I can't get much information on the TV channels either. , I even thought about making at least 3 bets betting on luck, for example: if team X has 1.50@ odds against team Z that has @2.0 odds I thought about using luck and betting on three games where the teams have @ 1.50 odds, but then I thought that this too is risky and I came back in indecision. I'm amazed when I see people placing bets on these games and winning them, and it's something amazing

Anyone here supporter of a team they want to get through tonight?

 

I don't have a favorite team, to be honest if I make a bet it will be just to test my luck

[Joca97]

UEC today with over 50 games that is just large !! What will happen when group stages come how many games will be every week. Also i think all 3 Serbian teams are good odds and should win easily and go into the next round. All juicy odds

[morvillz7z]

Area 51   ...we've got 51 matches from Conference League qualifiers today, not so many takers in this thread though, some of those teams do have alien-like names indeed. lol

Les's give it a shot:

Puskas Academy - RFS Over 2.5 @1.58

The first leg outcome was very surprising, at least to me. RFS scoring three goals on 5 goal attempts and Puskas Academy getting empty-handed dominating throughout the entire match. I think the Hungarians are the better team and playing at home in front of their fans they still have a shot at advancing to the next round. If you don't like the low odds, another alternative would be the -1.5 at around 2.00

Rijeka 1X + O. Ljubljana X2 + Dundalk clean sheet NO @1.77

Going up against two not-so-good Maltese teams, Birkirkara and Gzira, who both lost in the first leg and i just don't see them pulling an upset against much stronger opponents. As for Levadia, the Estonians have not scored less than two goals in their last four home matches, they did score twice in the first leg, and i am confident they will net at least one tonight.

#bigbrainanalysis  

[LTU_btc]

Won't make many bets today, I just will make some higher odds picks:
Vorskla - KuPS - home win @1.85
Birkirkara - Olimpija - away win @1.93
Borac - Linfield - home win @1.63
Partizani Tirana - Basel - away win @1.65

Anyone here supporter of a team they want to get through tonight?

Not a fan of these teams, but I just want that teams from my country - Suduva and Panevezys would get through. They aren't favorites and it will be tough. Actually, there is another team from my country, but they lost to Welsh team 0:5 at home, what is disgraceful.

What will happen when group stages come how many games will be every week.

There will be 32 teams in group stage, so, 16 games each week. Same like in Europa league.

[casperBGD]

Feyenoord is down at home, against Drita


regarding other matches, Partizan is holding good against Dunajska Streda, and Hajduk Split is out, after losing match from Tobol, in extratime, 4:1, last year that would be an easy away goal pass, and without that rule, they are out

edit: while typing, Feyenoord scored goal, it 2:2 at the moment

[LTU_btc]

Thanks to removing away goal rule, now so many games went to extra time and penalties. But there weren't many surprises.
As surprises, I would mention Split Hajduk eliminated by Tobol, Shakhtyor Soligorsk again lost to Fola from Luxembourg. And offcourse, Feyenoord having hard time with Drita.
There were some more unexpected results, but not something sensational.
