All Eyes on Mo Salah as Flying Liverpool Host Atletico Madrid

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

All eyes will be on red-hot forward Mo Salah when Liverpool host Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this season.

The Egyptian wizard has cemented his place as one of the greatest players in Europe, having scored already scored 15 goals in as many games this season.

He will be looking to add to his five in the Champions when Spanish side Atletico visits Anfield.

Salah needs to grab headlines quickly especially after the heroics of rivals Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski.

Ronaldo scored a brace to salvage a draw for Manchester United against Atalanta while Lewandowki grabbed headlines with a hat-trick in a 5-2 victory against Benfica.

Punters looking to invest their money should seriously consider staking on Salah to score first in the match.

Triple5bet have this outcome at 4.78 odds which is really lucrative considering the fact that he opened the scoring within eight minutes in this reverse fixture.

Salah’s goalscoring form and considering the fact that he is also on penalty duties makes this outcome very possible.

Liverpool are the only team in Europe’s top 5 leagues who have not lost a match so far. Bookmakers expect the reds to extend their stellar form with a win against Diego Simeone’s men.

Therefore, a home win in this fixture should be straight and at 1.72 odds on Triple5bet, a really good option for punters.

Other Champions League Fixtures on Wednesday are:
Sporting CP VS Besiktas – Kick Off 2045
Sherrif Tiraspol vs Inter Milan – Kick Off 2045
Dortmund vs Ajax – Kick off 23000
Manchester City vs Club Brugge – Kick Off 2300
RB Leipzig Vs PSG – Kick Off 2300

Triple5bet Brings Western to a Standstill After Launching Mega Ngarisha Team in Bungoma

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Football fans in Bungoma had a reason to celebrate over the weekend after a team from local betting firm Triple5bet pitched camp in the town, located in Western Kenya.

Triple5bet awarded full kits to two football teams in Bungoma, one of the hotspots for local football talent in Kenya.

Ask any upcoming footballer about the challenges they face in their careers, and the answer is almost unanimous – lack of kits.

Triple5bet understands these challenges and that is why they came up with their Ng’arisha Team, a mega project which will see the firm award kits to hundreds of grassroot football clubs.

The Ng’arisha Team Project has already seen the firm award teams from underprivileged areas in Nairobi like Kibera, Githurai and Eastlands.

Teams from Kisumu, Kakamega, Eldoret, Machakos, Nakuru and Thika have also benefited from the Ng’arisha Team Project. The Triple5bet management says they intend to traverse the whole country and reach the remotest of teams with these projects.

“This is just the beginning; we have so much more in store for our local teams” a senior manager at the firm said, adding that the initial plan is to kit two teams from every area before they expand.

Though a new entrant in the Kenyan betting industry, Triple5bet have set themselves apart from their peers with very ambitious society building projects.

The firm also has mouthwatering bonuses for both new and existing customers. New customers get 100% bonus on their first deposit.

All you have to do is to open a new account at triple5bet.com, deposit and stake any amount from Ksh 50 to Ksh 5000 and claim your 100%.

Champions League Predictions & Best Odds As Man United, Barcelona Face Tough Away Games

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The penultimate Champions League match day is here starting with some scintillating games on Tuesday.

Former European powerhouses Manchester United and Barcelona face tricky away games tonight, and any misstep could see Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won five Champions League titles, play in the Europa League for the first time in his career.

Ronaldo scored a late winner when the Red Devils beat Atalanta 3-2 at Old Trafford. However, the game could have been beyond reach for Reds were it not for David De Gea’s heroics and Atalanta’s wastefulness in front of goal.

It will be a totally different story when Atalanta host Ole Gunnar’s men on Tuesday evening. Atalanta have quite a remarkable record this season, having only lost twice in front of their own fans. They need points if they are to qualify for the next round.

That coupled with the fact that United have lost seven of their last 12 Champions League matches makes this a very tricky tie.

Our pundits are predicting a home win in this fixture. Triple5bet have placed an Atalanta win at 3.04 odds, which I must say is very high considering Manchester United’s recent woes.

Spanish giants Barcelona are even in a worst possible shape ahead of a trip to Ukranian side Dynamo Kiev. Barca are currently third on the log and out of the qualifying spots for the next round. They need to beat Kiev and hope that Bayern beats Benfica.

However, that is easier said than done as Barcelona have not won any of their away matches this season. To make matters worse, they have only scored one goal away from home since August.

The club was forced to fire Dutchman Ronald Koeman last week but even that did not inspire immediate change of form as they were held to a draw by minnows Alaves.

Barcelona are the favorites in this fixture but something tells me Dynamo Kiev may surprise us. That is why I am predicting a home win at 5.06 odds on Triple5bet.

If you are crazy enough to go with an Atalanta win and Barcelona loss, you have a whopping 15 odds on Triple5bet. A Ksh 100 stake gives you some Ksh 1183after tax. It is a risky bet but also highly rewarding at the same time.

Other Champions League Matches on Tuesday are:

Malmo vs Chelsea – Kick Off 2045

Wolfsburg vs RB Salzburg – Kick off 2045

Bayern vs Benfica – Kick off 2300

Juventus vs Zenit St. Petersburg – Kick Off 2300

Sevilla vs Lille – Kick Off 2300

Villareal vs Young Boys – Kick Off 2300

All these matches are available for betting on Triple5bet, the home of boosted odds in Kenya.

Triple5bet has mouthwatering bonuses for both new and existing customers. New customers get 100% bonus on their first deposit.

All you have to do is to open a new account at triple5bet.com, deposit and stake any amount from Ksh 50 to Ksh 5000 and claim your 100%.

Everyone Wants Man United to Beat Tottenham, Except United Fans

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Manchester United Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær heads into Saturday’s crunch tie against Tottenham Hotspurs with his head on the chopping board.

Ole has allegedly been given a last chance to save himself after last week’s humiliating 0-5 defeat at home to bitter rivals Liverpool.

It is on the background of this pressure, that most pundits are tipping the Red Devils to beat Spurs at London Stadium. In fact, everyone but United fans (for obvious reasons) want Ole’s team to win this match.

Of course the tipsters are backed by the fact that United have had quite a good record away from home since the beginning of last season, losing only one match in more than 30 on the road (that came in this month’s defeat to Leicester).

United have not lost away to Tottenham since 2018, a period in which they have only drawn one match and winning the rest. On paper, this looks like an easy fixture for the away win and with Triple5bet tipping a United win at 2.48 odds, we say it is something punters should really consider.

However, it is not going to be an easy fixture with Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo also hanging on the thread after a mixed start to the season.

Punters looking for safer options can put their money on both teams to score. The odds for this outcome is 1.59 which is very lucrative considering the fact that United have conceded six goals in four away games.

At 1.73 odds, an over 2.5 scoreline is also very possible. This fixture has always produced goals. Tottenham pumped 6 past United in October last year and the last match between these two ended 1-3 in favor of Ole’s boys.

Other EPL fixtures on Saturday are:

Leicester vs Arsenal – Kick Off 1430

Burnley vs Brentford – Kick Off 1700

Liverpool vs Brighton – Kick Off 1700

Manchester City Vs Crystal Palace – Kick Off 1700

Newcastle Vs Chelsea – Kick Off 1700

Watford Vs Southampton – Kick Off 1700

All these matches are available for betting on Triple5bet, home to the best odds in the Kenyan market. The bookmaker is giving out a 100% bonus for new customers on their first deposit and stake.

If you are an existing client, you know, the company offers a 50% bonus on their first stake of the day. This is a punter’s haven.

Friday’s 5 Sure Odds With Triple5bet – The Home of Boosted Odds in Kenya

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The football season is underway across the world and no day goes without a match. This is good news for punters as every football match gives us a chance to make some money.

Our team of seasoned pundits scour the internet for some of the matches which will guarantee you some money at the end of the day.

With our friends at Triple5bet.com, we have analyzed today’s matches and here are our five odds of the day.

  1. PSG vs Lille – PSG to win at 1.36

This match brings together the last two winners of the French League 1. PSG will be hoping to bounce back after being held to a draw by Marseille last time out. Coming up against one of the worst defenses in the name of Lille, we believe all the three points will remain in the French Capital.

  • Arouca vs Tondela – Both Teams to Score at 1.88

Given that Arouca shipped at least two goals in five of the last six league games, we would not be surprised to see the visitors bagging two or more goals. Our experts believe the home team will also bag at least a goal in the match. We are thefore predicting a Goal-Goal outcome.

  • Trabzonspor vs Rizespor – Home win 1.33

Expect an easy win for high flying Trabzonspor when they host bottom of the table Rizespor in a Turkish Superleague match this evening.

  • FC Heidemen Vs Schalke 04 – Over 2.5

Our tipsters are predicting a goals galore in this 2nd Bundesliga match and that is why we are going we think an over 2.5 scoreline is a safe bet.

A multibet of these 4 games gives you 6.43 odds on triple5bet.com. A stake of Ksh 150 will return more than Ksh 700. This is a good amount to start the weekend with.

You are also guaranteed a 50% bonus if this is your first bet of the day. For new customers, Triple5bet is the only bookmarker offering a 100% bonus on your first deposit and stake.

The law firm’s Principal Counsel Sarah Ochwanda revealed that it was important to clarity the role they played for Omanyala. She said that her firm provided Omanyala with legal, reputation management, Intellectual property management, PR and Communications services up until September 7th when they made a decision to stop representing him.

Ochwanda said they are proud of their efforts in saving the athletes name by correcting false information and defamatory narratives in the media about his past Anti-doping Rule Violation. The terms said its now their time to leave to allow the athlete to grow and take charge of his destiny. She added that they will continue to be proud and celebrate Omanayala’s achievements.

Omanyala was banned for 14 months by Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya in September 17 2018 after testing positive for a banned substance.

Why Sponsor ‘Dumped’ Omanyala

by Yahil Felix
written by Yahil Felix

Recently, Ferdinand Omanyala became Kenya’s sensation after breaking record with his breath-taking speed. He was crowned the fastest man in Africa after clocking 9.77 seconds during the Kip Keino Classics at Kasarani stadium.

However few days later, his sponsor DBA Africa announced that it had cut ties with the athlete. While responding to the press, the company’s Director Storm Trentham alleged that Omanyala violated the agreements between the two sides.

She said the company’s core values are vital and all that are involved with the company must stick to them. “Unfortunately if athletes fail to maintain the company’s values, we cannot successfully work together,” said Trentham.

She stated that terminating a contract when an athlete is in their prime speaks a lot about how important they feel to protect their brand and the professional image they share with the sporting world.

She said that they worked with Omanyala unofficially since December 2020 but he signed a two-year contract in February 2021 with DBA Africa. She disclosed that they facilitated his expenses to travel around Africa for Olympic qualifying games and other areas of his career.

However, Omanyala responded that he has not been working with DBA Africa since May because the company is not registered by World Athletics. While performing, he donned the company’s kits when he broke the national record by clocking 10.01 seconds in Nigeria in March and also clocked 10.06 seconds in South Africa in May.

Tottenham’s Bad Record Against Liverpool Continues

by Ian Gitau
written by Ian Gitau

The 2017/18 season was the last time Tottenham beat Liverpool in the premier league, a game which featured Harry Kane bagging a brace.

Since then, the Lilywhites have been held hostage to Liverpool’s house of pain. Having been beaten at home to Burnley, this was the first time in fifty five premier league games Liverpool lost at Anfield.

This stirred up Liverpool’s hunger of taking three points from Tottenham once again, when they travelled to Tottenham Hotspur ground.  

The game commenced in great style as both teams looked to fire goals at both ends of the field. Sadio Mane blew the first big chance of the evening at the second minute, and it was apparent that Jurgen Klopp was furious about this.

Due to their drop back formation, Son Heung Min got in behind the Liverpool backline at the counter to guide the ball past the net, but the goal was ruled for offside after a lengthy VAR check.

The game continued intensely with Tottenham preferring to play in open spaces as opposed to the park -the-bus system they adopted under Mourinho.  

Both sides continued to create chances but it was Liverpool who worked a beautiful team goal courtesy of a perfectly timed run by Sadio Mane who placed it in the path of Firmino for an easy tap in. The score was one nil to Liverpool at half time.

Two minutes into the second half, Mane curled a shot at goal, forcing a save from Hugo Lloris, but Trent Alexander Arnold was at the right place at the right time to strike the rebound, making it two nil.

Tottenham were however back into the game just almost immediately. Harry Winks set up Pierre Emille Hojberg for a stunning Shot outside the 18 yard box. Surely, Karl-Heinze Rummenigge would be proud.

Deep into second half, Liverpool launched a counter attack and Salah hit it near post but again the goal was ruled out for off side for an earlier handball by the brazillian number nine.

This was however not the end of Liverpool’s threat. Alexander Arnold swung a marvelous cross from far out wide to find the Senegalese international who put it past the excellent Hugo Lloris.

Liverpool went on to hold on to the three points, but retained their fourth place at the table. Frustration for Mourinho and Tottenham fans as the onslaught under Jurgen Klopp continues.

The Red Devils Suffer A Home Defeat To Struggling Sheffield United

by Ian Gitau
written by Ian Gitau

Man united went into the game in red hot form as they conquered bitter rivals Liverpool in a five goal thriller at the FA Cup fourth round tie just days before.

It was looking like man united had just regained their dominance once again, as in the days of Sir Alex Fergusson. Ole Gunner Solsjkaer made five changes to the side that beat Liverpool, with Martial being preferred upfront to Edinson Cavani.

Chris Wilder also made four changes to his side as he was set to stage a fight at the legendary Old Trafford.

The game started with high level energy as both sides looked to keep constant pressure on each other, but this led to a worry on the man united team early in the game as Martial suffered a slight shoulder injury.

However, the medical team did its job and fortunately the French skipper was back on the pitch just minutes later.

Ten minutes into the game, Aaron Wan Bissaka got behind Mousset to deliver a beautiful cutback to Marcus Rashford, but the English International steered it wide off the post.

This was the closest man united came to open the scoring in the first minutes of the first half.

Thirteen minutes later, a well swung cross from a corner kick was headed goal wards by Kean Bryan and Sheffield was in front.

It was all shambles at the back as man united again conceded from a set piece in the Premier league. To cement their status at the top, they now had to do it the hard way, by coming from behind.

It was looking like a goal for man united in the 29th minute when Martial hit the ball past the net from point blank range, but the goal was quickly ruled out for a foul on the Sheffield goalie. 

Man united edged closer to leveling the score with a couple of minutes to the end of the first half but were denied by superb defending from the veteran Phil Jagielka who returned to the club after a long spell with the toffees with the aim of helping them survive in the Premier league. 

On the other end,, things were also getting fired up as Tuanzebe tracked back and produced a crucial stop to McGoldrick’s  easy tap in , and at half time, Sheffield united lead.

Coming back into the second half, Man united looked to bounce back, but Mason Greenwood missed his chance early on to even the score.

The hosts kept pushing and pushing, and at the 64th minute they were awarded a corner kick from which they took clinically, with Harry Maguire, the one-time Sheffield boy, at the end of it.

Disappointment for Chris Wilder as his team really defended well. The reds again missed their chance to add to the score sheet as Cavani, who entered as a substitute, drove his chance wide of goal.

The blades’ disappointment however did not last long, as horrible marking in the final third of man united saw Ollie Burke have a shot at goal, which went past De Gea with the help of a deflection.

Horrible horrible marking, but this was joy for the active travelling side.

Sheffield maintain their drop back tactic and maintained decent shape which saw them cling to three vital points which were fully deserved keeping in mind the load of defending they had to do.

Man united on the other hand were poor going forward, but all in all, they look to get back to winning ways when they travel to North London to face old time rivals Arsenal.

This result could have long – term ramifications at both ends of the table, as Sheffield earn three very important points to get them out of the relegation zone, and Man united lose three , increasing the gap between them and  league leaders Manchester city.

What a night for Sheffield united, as they become only the third side from Yorkshire to win at Old Trafford in the premier league era since 1974.
