17th June 2008, by
Centrebet, Australia's online sports bookmaker, offered UEFA Cup soccer betting odds throughout UEFA's secondary club competition. Centrebet offered a full range of UEFA Cup 2003-2004 season betting options on the 100-plus European teams that competed. As with UEFA's other club competitions, the Switzerland-based governing body's ranking list determined the number of football sides that represented each European country.
Centrebet's 2004 Season Uefa Cup Betting Options Included:
Centrebet offered a number of UEFA Cup soccer betting options including bet choices like pick the score, halftime/fulltime doubles, head-to-head, total goal score, half time result, halftime/fulltime result, pick the score, first goal scorer, player will/will not score, number of cards, red card in the match, and quickest goal.
Sides That Were Worth Watching In The 2003-2004 Season:
Porto were the title holders after defeating Celtic with a silver goal in 2003 UEFA Cup final at Seville's Stadio Olimpico but they did not compete in the 2003-2004 competition following their Portuguese championship success. With Porto among the seeds for the 2003-2004 Champions League tournament, Leiria and Sporting represented Portugal in the competition. Unlike its sister tournament, English, German, Italian and Spanish teams do not dominate the UEFA Cup in the manner that they monopolise the Champions League, with Feyenoord (Netherlands), Galatasaray (Turkey) and Porto (Portugal) striking blows for Europe's lesser leagues recently. Gteborg (Sweden) won the event twice in the 1980s and so did Anderlecht (Belgium).
Quality sides that took part in the 2003-2004 UEFA Cup included the English Premier League quartet of Blackburn, Manchester City, Liverpool and Southampton. Hamburg, Hertha and Kaiserslautern flew the German Bundesliga's flag in the competition. Barcelona, Mallorca and Valencia defended the Spanish Primera Divisin's honour in the tournament, while Parma, Roma and Udinese represented Italy's Serie A. Valencia triumphed, beating Marseille 2-0 in the final.
UEFA Cup betting 2003-2004 kicked off with the first qualifying round on August 14, 2003 and concluded at Gothenburg's Gamla Ullevi on May 19, 2004. A full draw and match calendar was available from the official UEFA website. Centrebet quoted thousands of bet options throughout the tournament, allowing punters to wager on the outcome of every match and the destination of the famous trophy.
