Hannover Helps Friday Into Vitesse

Soccer Betting Lines

Rangers are coming off of a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen that saw American midfielder Maurice Edu rescue a point at Ibrox just four minutes after Kari Arnason put the visitors in front.

 

Hibernian, meanwhile, fell to St. Johnstone, 3-2, in its last outing, leaving the club second from bottom with just 18 points on the season.

 

Elsewhere in Scottish Premier League play Saturday, Aberdeen, buoyed by the addition of midfielder Stephen Hughes, hopes to extend its unbeaten run to five games when it hosts last-place Dunfermline.

 

Eindhoven, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dries Mertens scored his 14th goal as PSV Eindhoven defeated Vitesse, 3-1, on Friday to move into first place in the Dutch Eredivisie. Tim Matavz and Stanislav Manolev also scored for PSV, which could have climbed to the top of the standings last week but settled for a 1-1 draw with Utrecht. AZ Alkmaar can reclaim the lead Saturday with a win at Roda.

 

Matavz fired PSV into the lead just after the half-hour mark and Mertens added to the lead in the 76th. Mike Havenaar pulled a goal back after 84 minutes for Vitesse, but Manolev sealed PSV's win 3 minutes into stoppage time.

 

Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AC Milan announced Friday that it has signed striker Maxi Lopez from Catania, possibly signaling the end of the Rossoneri's pursuit of Carlos Tevez. Milan appeared to be in the mix to land the want-away Manchester City striker, but the signing of Lopez appears to have quelled that deal.

 

Lopez joins Milan after two years at Catania. The Argentine striker helped the club avoid relegation in 2010, notching 11 goals in 17 games.

 

Bayern turned its season-opening 1-0 loss to Gladbach into the spark for a big streak of 12 successive shutouts in all competitions, including a 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Champions League.

 

At the time, Bayern entered the conversation with Barcelona as one of the best club's in Europe. But since the unbeaten streak was snapped, Bayern has proven it is still mortal.
