Farfan could make season debut vs. Vitesse

Soccer Betting Lines

09/14/2007 - Eindhoven, Holland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time defending Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven could get a extra boost of energy on Saturday when it plays Vitesse at Philips Stadium.

Jefferson Farfan, who has missed all season due to injury, is expected to be named as a substitute.

Without Farfan, PSV is undefeated through three outings, but sits in fourth place behind Feyenoord, Vitesse and Ajax.

Vitesse enters the match perfect through three matches, but has only scored four goals and trails Feyenoord on the tiebreaker for the top spot.

The Vitesse offense will have to be at the top of its game on Saturday as PSV is one of two clubs which haven't yielded a goal this season.

Another player who is expected to make his 2007-08 debut for PSV is newcomer Danny Koevermans, who recently signed from AZ Alkmaar. Koevermans tallied 31 goals in 52 appearances for AZ Alkmaar before signing with PSV over the summer.

Vitesse will be short for the match. Besides for Sebastien Sansoni serving the final game of his suspension, Rihario Meulens, Cees Keizer and Jasar Takak are all expected to be out of action via injury.

Eredivisie play got underway on Friday as Groningen fell to Utrecht, 2-0.

In the other matches this weekend: Excelsior seeks its first victory of the season when it welcomes Heerenveen to town. Even worse, Excelsior has not found the back of the net in the early going either; Kennedy Bakircioglu will miss the match with a groin injury for Ajax as it takes on Heracles at Polman Stadium; Venlo will move to .500 with a win over Graafschap; AZ travels to Sparta; Twente tries to remain undefeated at Willem II; NEC and NAC collide at De Goffert; Feyenoord will attempt to keep its shutout streak alive when it battles Roda. Feyenoord has outscored it opponents, 10-0, this season and is the only other team besides PSV not to yield a goal yet this season.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
