DRT Daily Research Bulletin, August 16, 2023

Day off today I think! No Telegramming.Very unappetising coupon. I have done a review/preview video. We have a run of 3 days of not-so-welcoming football, English Leagues One and Two yesterday, Europa/Conference leagues tomorrow and the small handful of matches today. Fear not, the weekend will see us blossom!
Women's World Cup 2023
11:00 - Australia Women v England Women - 2.25 England Women
- This late in a World Cup. Back 0-0 pre-match perhaps? I wouldn't trade these kinds of matches.
UEFA Europa Conference League
17:00 - Flora v Farul Constanta - 2.20 Farul Constanta
- 3-0 Farul lead from the first leg. They don't need to win and can afford to lose 2-0. Tricky to unpack as clearly they are the better side.
- Romania v Estonia.
English League Cup
19:45 - QPR v Norwich - 2.05 Norwich
- The league cup has already shown us some teams who quite simply cannot be bothered with it (Southampton and Millwall). In-play stats all the way here but as I write in the German Cup an utterly dominant Darmstadt are 2-0 down to a lower-tier side. Trust is the issue with the cup.
UEFA Super Cup
20:00 - Man City v Sevilla - 1.33 Man City
- The last thing Pep needs at the start of a Premier League season is a Mickey Mouse kick-about. Sevilla were very poor last season and seem to be tightening the purse strings. Do watch for City team news. Again, best approached via in-play stats, or leave this day alone.
