City in line for UEFA Cup spot

Soccer Betting Lines

05/09/2008 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City could secure a surprise route into European football next season after UEFA revealed England have finished top of the fair play standings.

One Premier League club will now be handed entry into the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup - taking the number of English sides in the competition to four.

Sven-Goran Eriksson's side appear to be the front-runners for the prize as they are fifth in the domestic fair play league - but behind four teams who have already secured places in Europe via alternative routes.

The Citizens, who face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, also qualified for Europe via the same route in 2004.

However, should they qualify for Europe, then owner Thaksin Shinawatra faces the unusual scenario of parting company with a manager who has exceeded his own preseason expectations.

The former Thai prime minister indicated he would be happy with a top half of the table finish in his first season when he took over at Eastlands last summer.

Shinawatra has since suggested that Eriksson's services will be dispensed with in the summer after a disappointing second half of the season.

The former England coach, who himself was only appointed last summer, has been linked with a return to Portuguese club Benfica should he be shown the door later this month.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
