Likely to come with something else later on but now I'd like to take this combo as long as we can still get decent odds.

Firstly I'll take Hertha Berlin to beat Nistru Otaci. That's more than a banker in my eyes, the Moldavians get hammered every time they play on German soil (even national team) and see no reason why now could be different. Usually it's not very wise to back teams who haven't started their domestic championhip yet, could be lack of form and fitness, yet the class difference is huge and Nistru have a special tradition to lose their way on the road. Remember last summer Daccia who'd managed to held in a draw Hamburg at home and then lost 4-0 (or smth, similar) in Germany. Nistru are not a bad Moldavian team, actually they play quite well, have some team chemistry that does the job for them, but NOT against Hertha. Moldavian championship just started but it's not big deal, Nistru have financial problems and you wouldn't want to know the way they trained in pre-season.

My second choice is Red Bull Salzburg to beat Banants Yerevan. Low odds, I know, but can't see anything but a clear home win. The Red Bulls are known as one of the best home teams in Austria, their artificial turf could be a good reason why. They have a new coach who looks good so far and who's got 2 league matches under his belt. The Armenians have the "away" ex-USSR syndrom which mainly means you get thrashed when you play on the road. It's home win all over written!!

The last one is Dacia Chisinau not to lose when they play Serbian Borak Cacak. The Moldavians have some problems at the back (missings) but that's never going to be a problem for a team like Dacia who rather rely upon their overall perfomance as a team and not certain individuals. FK Baku and St.Gallen have both been eliminated in Intertoto last summer and Dacia still have the same coach who does a great job. It's not even a rich club, have a lot of financial problems but their team chemistry is what makes me believe they can get a result today. I'd never trust them on the road, like any other Moldavian team, but when it comes to home soil I think it's different. Played basically on the same foot against Hamburg last summer (1-1, at home of course) so I'm wondering whether Serbian Borak can cause more troubles. The Serbians were 4th in the standings last season and from what I've heard the difference between their best 2 clubs and other clubs is huge, which can't be said about Dacia who can play decent football against any other Moldavian side. Serbian championhip is stronger, but there's lack of expetrience for Borak who'll play for the first time in Europe and travlled by bus to Chisinau, which doesn't sound good really. The stadium's expected to be full, a very important factor for Moldavian teams by the way. I like this bet so much that I'll take the AH line as well when the lines are released.

Hertha (1.15) + Red Bull (1.15) + Dacia 1X (1.40) = 1.85, with Expekt, stake 8

Since the Asians are "shy" to come up with their offer I'll take Dacia to win straight, but stake 6 units only. For more information please see the comment above.
