The Westfalenstadion is not a mystery to Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp. In fact the German was at the helm of Dortmund for seven years and took the team out of bankruptcy, to the top of the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2012. They are now under a new coach and they are second place in the German league, but Klopp is confident that his Liverpool squad will give Dortmund a run for their money. For Liverpool, this will be a very tough first and second leg. Probably tougher than any other team faces in the Europa League quarter-finals, but if they can succeed tonight, they will be in a better place for the next match at Anfield next week. The Reds are unbeaten in the Europa League so far this season, having knocked out Manchester United in the previous round. Beating United was a great achievement, and proved to the fans and players that Liverpool can win in the clutch. Klopp is looking for a victory tonight, but so is Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel has already warned his players that Klopp's crew will come out firing whenever and wherever they can. Both teams are healthy and looks like they will have all player's available. Mats Hummels, IIkay Gundogan and Sokratis Papastathopoulos all took part at practice earlier this week and look like they are ready to play tonight. For Liverpool, good news is that Roberto Firmino has travelled to Germany and will be on the bench if he is needed. Europa League Betting Making a wager on the Europa League is as easy as registering at bet365 Sports and finding tonight's match. Bet365 Sports is offering odds that are pretty much a punters' dream with Liverpool at 6.00 and Dortmund at 1.66. Liverpool could easily win this match and could also just as easily play for the draw, for which bet365 will pay out at 4.33.

Endorphina has attended most of the important European conferences in 2015 and the Czech company is ready to set another important milestone. By teaming up with i-Gaming Forum, it will attend the two sessions of roundtable discussions scheduled for the second week of April 2016. Its presence is expected to enhance the prominence of the event, while providing prospective participants with another reason to attend. Seven Years of Success for the i-Gaming Forum Industry experts and gambling companies ranging from established ones to startups have attended the i-Gaming Forum over the last seven years. The event provides them with great opportunities for networking and when so many brilliant minds come together, lucrative ideas are guaranteed to emerge. It was only natural for this event to appear on Endorphina’s radar, as these guys have attended similar exhibitions all over the world. They participated in the immensely successful ICE Totally Gaming earlier this year and will host two sessions of discussions at the i-Gaming Forum 2016. With so many events on their calendar, it is increasingly difficult for Endorphina to choose one or the other. The fact that the April event is on their list of priorities, speaks volumes about the potential of this forum. A Convenient Way to Pick up New Skills Industry leaders get together at the i-Gaming Forum 2016 to share their insights on sensitive topics and for networking purposes. The event is also a godsend for those who want to sign lucrative partnerships and meet the ones who recently entered the industry.

As a leading B2B software provider, it powers some of the most successful operators in the gaming industry with reliable and diverse software.
Granada are still tied with two other teams in the relegation area, but they have the advantage of these squads playing against each other. Meanwhile, they take on Malaga which is in theory a superior opponent, but the visitors have ran out of reasons to defend their chances. No European Cups for Malaga The visitors were mired in a winless streak for so long that by the time they recovered, they were already trailing the leading pack by many points. Much to their credit, they managed to keep clean sheets both at home and on the road and even when they lost, they did so by the odd goal. Insufficient funding took its toll and players are no longer motivated to chase elusive goals, with the results speaking for themselves. Against Granada, Malaga will simply play defensive football and wait for home games to pick up more points. They’ve got a comfortable cushion from the relegation area and are happy even if they draw against the teams struggling in this part of the standings. Little Room for Error for Granada The hosts find themselves between a rock and a hard place ahead of this fixture, because they need to make a difficult decision. On one hand, they need to push the envelope and try to collect all three points, to take advantage of the fact that Getafe and Rayo Vallecano squared off. The schedule ahead is not particularly light and most of their opponents will be heavily motivated. Playing offensive football against Malaga on the other hand is a surefire way of allowing goals on counterattack, so the backline needs to be bolstered. Risk-averse punters who are reluctant to pick winners should bet on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored with bet365 Sports. Regardless of who wins, assuming the match doesn’t end undecided, a lopsided victory is unlikely.
Casino software giant Bally Technologies has at last released an online version of its land-based Titanic slot game. And this is far from a standard historical game, given that the Titanic slot has been created under official licence of the 1997 film. Directed by James Cameron, the blockbuster epic won 11 Oscars for its portrayal of the 1912 disaster. The Titanic Experience Fans of the film will appreciate the lots use of genuine imagery, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet both making appearances as their characters. An occasional issue with licensed slots is that some of the higher profile actors remove their likeness – for example, Russell Crowe in the Gladiator slot – but that is not the case for Titanic. Also adding to the experience is inclusion of the Celine Dion song. In further building out the experience, the slot contains an array of items that would be found on the Titanic, including luggage, barrels, crates, gloves, jewellery, and the boat itself. These are all used as symbols to populate the five-reel interface, which can display 15 at once. Players can generate wins in the core games by matching symbols on the 25 paylines. Titanic Special Features Titanic recreates the experience of the film by defining the player’s class depending on the value of their bet, going from third to first. Bonus features will be open to all classes, but second will play for mini and maxi jackpots, while first will also be eligible for an even larger jackpot. The slot has multiple special features, including mystery wild reels and a bonus side-game that depicts the romantic drawing scene between Jack (Leo) and Rose (Kate). And there is a final feature that allows for players to spin a wheel to unlock winnings. Titanic fans can go play this new slot right now if they visit Bally-powered casinos. Three possible destinations include Shanghai Spins, Slots Angel, and Video Slots Casino.
The Grand National is one of the world’s most esteemed horse races, having first been run back in 1839. Now hosted at Aintree Racecourse, the handicap steeplechase sees more than 40 horses compete over two laps and 30 hurdles, covering a total distance of four miles and three-and-a-half furlongs. The international scope of the race is vast, with more than 500 million people watching from over 140 countries. And after paying out a £1 million prize fund in 2015, the Grand National retained its status as the most lucrative horse race in Europe. Come Saturday at 5:15pm, the participating owners, trainers, and jockeys will be eager to replicate the success of 2015 Grand National-winner Many Clouds, an eight-year-old that won at a starting price of 25/1. For the next race, bet365 has a comprehensive list of competitive odds. Check out OCR’s preview of the high-profile prospects below. Many Clouds Now a nine-year-old, some are tipping Many Clouds to be the first horse to win successive Grand National titles for the first time since the legendary Red Rum, which won in 1973 and 1974. This time around, Many Clouds’ odds have fallen from 25/1 to 8/1, having won its March outing at Kelso Racecourse. The Last Samurai This eponymously named eight-year-old has been in good form lately, following consecutive wins at Doncaster and Kempton. For hurdles, the Last Samurai has show solid pedigree in winning three and placing in one of its five outings. bet365 considers the Last Samurai to be the second-best prospect at 10/1. Silviniaco Conte Jockey Noel Fehily is eyeing his first Grand National win on Silviniaco Conte. After winning five and placing twice in eight career hurdles, the 10-year-old is viewed as another top prospect at 11/1.

Atletico Madrid is fighting a war on two fronts and this can take its toll, so a decision needs to be made. Winning the Champions League remains the top priority for the former Spanish champions and this is where all the resources will be channel. Barcelona has a too big of a lead to be overtaken in the remaining rounds, so the Primera Division trophy is untenable. Espanyol Fancies a Point at Home Atletico Madrid will be spending more time in Barcelona then players would’ve hope for, but the game against Espanyol should be the easiest. On one hand, the home side is far less dangerous than the best team in town and on the other they have lower expectations. The hosts would gladly settle for one point, against the better team and by doing so they will ward off the specter of relegation. Galca is still under a lot of pressure after taking over as manager, but his strategy is finally paying off. He took his chances and was terribly unlucky to drop points and lose games that should’ve been won but at the end of the day he will probably save his team from relegation. Atletico Madrid Expected to Rest Players Even if the visitors have the best starting formation, they are still underdogs against Barcelona, so they can take no chances with injuries. Atletico Madrid has a minimum advantage over Real Madrid and if it can consolidate the second-place, this will be good enough for the team. bet365 Sports heavily favors the visitors, but odds of 4/5 are not exactly stellar under these circumstances. Atletico Madrid can definitely win on the road, but the players are already thinking about the Champions League and won’t risk injuries. Betting on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored is a more reasonable alternative and the odds are not much lower.
Fifteen very strong, very fit, professional heavyweight boxers have felt what it is like to be on the receiving end of an Anthony Joshua power shot. To put the power of his punches into proportion, one of those men had to stop his boxing career after the UK boxing star caught him with an uppercut that left an eye-socket broken. Some say his power resembles that of Iron Mike from his heyday, but that is arguable. The only thing that is for sure is that Charles Martin had better bring his A-game or else he will be unlucky number 16. Now, if Joshua was just a power puncher then other boxers wouldn't be as worried, but he is as accurate as they come. Matt Skelton, Joshua's seventh victim explained, “He hits hard, don’t get me wrong, but when it’s combined with accuracy that’s hard to go against.” Tale of the Tape Joshua is 15-0, no one has been able to beat the Olympian, but Charles Martin is no pushover himself and poses a real threat to his perfect record. Martin is the current IBF Heavyweight Champion and he too is unbeaten. Charles "Prince" Martin is 23-0-1, with 21 KO's, but this will be his first main event off US soil, without the mass of fans behind him. O2 arena could be the first time that Martin tastes the canvas, but the American is ready to go and tonight should be an incredible match. Now, many people think that this fight will be completely one-sided, mainly because Martin didn't really need to do much to win the belt. He actually won by default after Tyson Fury declined to fight Vyacheslav Glazkov. Martin fought Glazkov but the Ukrainian suffered a knee injury giving the title to Martin. True, Martin does have a perfect record, but will he be able to beat the British monster? I don't think so. Prediction As far as this fight is concerned, I would put my money on Joshua. I do believe that this fight will go at least 7 rounds, but I think that Martin will fall to a KO early in the eighth. Online Betting Odds The top sportsbooks in the world are making this match one of the biggest of all time. Bet365 has odds in favor of Joshua at 1.16, while Martin is well behind at 5.00. This is also the story at RealDeal Bet with the Brit at 1.17 and the American at 4.45. 888 Sport is also focusing on this match with Joshua the favorite at 1.18 and Martin at 4.75.
The odds of Sevilla not winning a single match on the road throughout the entire regular season are still low. When La Liga resumed back in August, nobody expected them to be still winless after playing 15 games away from home. It has come to this and now they will try to claim the first victory on one of the most difficult stadiums in the entire country: Mestalla. Sevilla Is Deadly on Counterattacks One of the reasons for why Sevilla was so unsuccessful on the road is that most of its opponents defended with all lines. They chose not to take advantage of the fact that they were playing at home and instead accepted the possibility of splitting points. Sevilla was also unable to defend narrow margin leads and allowed opponents to claw their way back in the game in the final minutes and sometimes in overtime. Against Valencia, they shouldn’t worry about facing a wall, because the hosts will not barricade themselves in their own half and wait for the 90 minutes to pass. They don’t have much to lose and the chances to relegate are extremely low so prudence is unwarranted. A Decisive Match for Neville When the former Manchester United player was brought to Valencia as a manager, nobody expected him to fail miserably. Unfortunately for him, the resources available were far from impressive and he found it impossible to motivate the players. Back-to-back defeats and an overall poor performance soon followed and now his job is on the line. This match against Sevilla is the one that could make or break him, but the English manager is willing to take his chances. If Valencia plays offensive football as we predict, they expose themselves to vicious counterattacks and this is exactly what the visitors need. Punters can minimize the risks by taking the cover of a 0:0 Asian Handicap which returns the stakes if the match ends undecided.
