Feyenoord tipped for UEFA Cup

Ruud Gullit's Feyenoord are being tipped to make inroads into this season's Uefa Cup following Tuesday's draw in Switzerland.The Dutch side have been pitched into Group A alongside Schalke 04, Basle, Hearts and Ferencvaros and that's a section Gullit's team are well capable of winning according to Chandler's football expert Nick Blezard."I've watched them closely twice this season and they score a lot of goals from all areas of the field which will stand them in good stead in this weakish looking group," he said."Punting at this stage of the tournament before the Champions League sides enter can be hazardous but Feyenoord are one of the teams I can see shortening."Chandler currently quote Feyenoord at 20/1 for Uefa glory.Blezard added: "The less demanding nature of the Dutch league will mean that Gullit will be able to rest key players between the big Uefa games and that won't be an option for the likes Newcastle, Lazio and Stuttgart."Newcastle will be chasing fourth spot in the Premiership for their lives and it will be a similar story for the other big guns who join the competition in the later stages."With the Uefa final scheduled for Lisbon's Jose Alvalade Stadium on May 18 it is no surprise to see Benfica and Sporting Lisbon attracting early support."There is no doubt that those two sides will give this tournament the utmost priority and they must be respected on that basis."Blezard added that all of the British sides with the exception of Glasgow Rangers have been well supported for the tournament."Wrap up well, don't talk to strangers and never back Rangers in Europe was my father's advice as a little boy."Uefa Cup outrights:Lazio 10/1, Newcastle 10/1, Stuttgart 10/1, Middlesbrough 12/1, Athletic Bilbao 12/1, Schalke 14/1, Parma 14/1, Villarreal 16/1 Sevilla 16/1, Feyenoord 20/1, Club Brugges 25/1, AJ Auxerre 25/1, Real Zaragoza 25/1, Benfica 25/1, Sporting Lisbon 25/1, Besiktas 33/1, Rangers 25/1, Lille 33/1, Sochaux 33/1, AEK Athens 50/1, Zenit St Petersburg 66/1, Basel 66/1, Maritimo 66/1, Slavia Prague 80/1Others on request.
