Bremen Favourites for UEFA Cup Glory

Either Sevilla or Spurs will exit the UEFA Cup on Thursday and it is for this reason that bookmakers make Werder Bremen (5/2 Stan James) favourites to win the competition. Sevilla (10/3 VC Bet) take a slender 2-1 advantage to White Hart Lane for their second leg clash with Spurs, who are now as big as 5/1 (William Hill) for European glory, despite only needing a 1-0 victory to progress to the semi-final stages. Osasuna, another Spanish club, have been the big market movers after the first leg matches and they're now 7/1 (Ladbrokes) to win the competition. This is due to their astonishing 3-0 win at Leverkusen, a result that all but assures them of a last 4 berth. Thursday's match between Benfica and Espanyol looks nicely poised after a 3-2 victory for the latter in the first leg. However, one would expect the Portuguese team to triumph at the Stadium of Light and they're 9/1 (bet direct) to go all the way in this competition.
