[Ed]

Good grief, those bookies surely haven't watched one bit of the matches AZ played. Or should I say: of all the struggles AZ had against the first class opposition in the group

Early kickoffs for Hearts' group.

Nice and Koln are not qualified yet and are facing each other. One will probably be eliminated, so the 21 and 23 are taking that into account.
Basel isn't qualified yet and needs a result, away.

So a team already qualified and who will probably win the group having a lower odd isn't far fetched.

[Ed]

I understand how odds are determined but my remark was purely aimed at the current bad form of AZ. Having seen their group matches and latest domestic matches I wouldn't give a dime for their chances in the knock-outs against much better opposition.

[ultra2013]

If Köln win vs Nice, EIGHT Bundesliga teams would play in Spring for the first time ever. The probability was less than 5%. I gladly would swap two Freiburg and Union defeats for a Köln's victory.

[Lorric]

Those outright odds are going to be completely changed with the EL dropouts.

Didn't take long. Istanbul head in a corner 4mins in.

[Lorric]

Fiorentina into the lead as well. Not much hope for them as Hearts' team is prioritising the league now that they're eliminated. Can't really blame them when their team is ravaged by injury, they don't need to be burning out the players they have left in a dead rubber.

[Lorric]

2-0 Istanbul. Keeper lost a race, and the finish was a precise pass between the two defenders that got back.

[THEPOSH]

It's 2-0 Fiorentina as well.

[THEPOSH]

And 3-0 with a beauty of a shot.

[Lorric]

2-0 HT. Istanbul are very comfortable here.

[Jua Ferreira]

Bad refereeing at Başakşehir-Hearts match, in favour of Başakşehir to be honest.

Hearts implement heavy rotations, so very low chance for a suprise result.

[Lorric]

Istanbul bang in another one. The scorer it was his first touch off the bench. The ball was taken from a bad throw out by the keeper and passed off to the scorer.
