    Uefa Champions League Qualifiers 4/5 August 2009

    in Champions League Predictions

    Posted

    Re: Uefa Champions League Qualifiers 4/5 August 2009 I also like the look of Twente to beat Sporting tonight. They did ride their luck in the first leg but to defender for over an hour with 10 men at a ground like Sporting`s in my opinion takes some doing. Also as a fellow member has already said they got their league programme of to a good start at the weekend with a 2-0 win at Sparta. With not too many "value" prices about i am happy to have a punt on Twente to win at best price 11/8 at time of writing. Good luck with whatever you all decide. :)

    UEFA Cup Matches (Nov 8)

    in Europa League Predictions

    Re: UEFA Cup Matches (Nov 8) Spartak Moscow to bt Bayer Lverkusen These two are in one of the more competitive groups along with FC Zurich (Swiss), Sparta Prague (Czech Rep) and Toulouse (France) and with 3 teams progressing from each group every point in vital. This is Spartak`s first game in the group phase and they reached this stage of the competition by beating Hacken of Sweden 5-0 at home and 3-1 away, Prior to that they were unlucky to go out to Celtic on penalties in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League so they are a team not to be underestimated. They are currently 2nd in the Russian League 2 points behind leaders Zenit St Petersburg after 29 games and they have a home record of won 10 drawn 3 lost 1 scored 29 and conceded 11 their only league defeat to date was back in May against Lokomotiv Moscow. They are on a good run of form at present with 4 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 6 games which includes 3 straight home wins with 8 goals scored and only 1 conceded. Spartak`s top scorer is Pavlyuchenko with 13 goals which makes him also joint top league goalscorer with CSKA`s Wagner Love and England supporters will not need reminding of the goal threat he represents after his 2 goals against England in Russia back in October. Bayer Leverkusen have already played in group match when they beat Toulouse 1-0 at home. They reached this stage of the competition with a 5-4 aggregate win over Uniao Leiria of Portugal winning the home leg 3-1 before losing 3-2 away. In the league this season they sit 6th and are already 10 points behind leaders Bayern Munich after 12 games. Their away record is average with 2 wins 1 draw and 3 losses so far scoring 7 and conceding 6. Their last 6 league games have brought 2 wins 1 draw and 3 defeats whilst scoring 9 and conceding 7 with 1 win and 2 defeats on the road during that period. The two teams have met twice before in European competition during the 2000/01 Champions League campaign group stages and honours were shared with Spartak winning their home game 2-0 and Leverkusen winning their home match 1-0. Another interesting stat is that Spartak are unbeaten in their last four European home games, although they won only one of those matches however Leverkusen have lost in their last three European away games, and have not earned a win on their travels in 17 games - a run stretching back to a 2-0 Champions League win at Maccabi Haifa FC in the 2002/03 season. Good luck all. :D

    Uefa Cup Thur 25th October

    in Europa League Predictions

    Re: Uefa Cup Thur 25th October Zenit St Petersburg to beat AZ Alkmaar UEFA Cup Group A These two teams are in the same group as Nurnburg of Germany, Larissa of Greece and Everton so will be hoping to get off to a good start with 3 teams progressing from the group stages. To get to this point in the competition Zenit beat Standard Liege of Belgium 4-1 on aggregate with a 3-0 home win doing the damage. AZ overcame Pacos Ferreira of Portugal 1-0 over two legs with the solitary goal coming in the away leg. Zenit are top of the Russian league on goal difference from Spartak Moscow after 27 games and so are well into their season and their home record reads won 9 drawn 4 lost 1 scored 27 conceded 14. The only defeat was a 3-1 reverse to Spartak back in April and since that time Zenit have gone from strength to strength. In their last 6 games in the league they have won 5 and lost won winning the 3 games in that time by scoring 7 and conceding only 2. Their opponents tonight AZ have made a poor start to their league campaign and after 8 games have won2 drawn 2 and lost 4 scoring 14 and conceding 11 and they currently sit 12th in the table. On their travels in the league they have 1 draw and 2 defeats to show for their efforts scoring 3 and conceding 5. Their form over the last 6 games does not offer much encouragement either with only 2 points being picked up from a possible 18, and I feel that they will struggle to get anything from today’s encounter. The other bet I will have today is a more speculative one in the first goalscorer market. Pavel Pogreniak has scored 11 times in the league for Zenit this season and no fewer then 8 of them have been first goals! Now at 8/1 in the first goal market I feel a few pounds/Euro can be risked for a good potential return. The fact that Pogreniak with 11 goals is supported so well in the goal scoring department by Arshavin (9 goals) and Zhirinovsky (9 goals) is the main reason I feel Zenit will come out on top and I would not put anyone off having a look at the anytime goalscorer market to see what price the other 2 are. Good Luck all :)

    Champions League 23rd/24th October

    Re: Champions League 23rd/24th October Werder Bremen to beat Lazio in Group C. This is a must win game for Bremen tonight as they have lost both their previous games in the competition 2-1 at Real Madrid and more surprisingly 3-1 at home to Olympiakos. Lazio have started with two draws a 1-1 at Olympiakos and a 2-2 at home to Real Madrid. Bremen are currently 2nd in the Bundesliga 6 points behind leaders Bayern Munich after 10 games and they have a home record of won 4 and lost 1 of their 5 matches scoring 17 but conceding 9. The only blot on their home record other then the Olympiakos game was when Bayern beat them 4-0 back in August. In their last 3 home games however they have found their form and scoring boots with a 4-1 win against Stuttgart followed by an 8-1 win against Armenia Bielefeld and in their last home game a 3-2 win against Hertha Berlin. Lazio are 13th in Serie A and have started the season slowly, already finding themselves 10 points behind leaders Inter after only 8 games. The form on the road has been steady if uninspiring with a win at bottom club Livorno 1-0 in their last away game the only success to go with draws at 19th placed Reggina (1-1),9th placed Sampdoria (0-0) and a defeat at 10th placed Atalanta (2-1). Lazio will no doubt keep it tight again tonight and this game brings together the classic case of the free scoring home side against the tight defensive visitor. I believe Bremen will win tonight’s encounter as anything less then a win as I have previously said will all but eliminate them from the competition. They are currently best price 5/6 with Ladbrokes for the win which for me is a reasonable price. Also for those of you who like historical trends Bremen have faced Italian opposition 9 times at home and have yet to lose. I personally feel you can read that stat either way and my reason for picking Bremen tonight is more to do with the goal threat from Sonogo and Almeira who between them have already hit 11 this season. Bremen look set to be able to pick from a fully fit squad tonight whilst Lazio have a few injury problems. Midfielder Stefano Mauri and defender Sebastiano Siviglia sustained injuries in Sunday's 1-0 win at AS Livorno, joining Cribari and Ledesma on the sidelines, also Behrami, Mutarelli and Goran Pandev, picked up knocks in the Livorno game but should be fit to play.

    Champions League 23rd/24th October

    Re: Champions League 23rd/24th October Great post Niko and welcome to the forum,:) Tonight my tip is from the Champions League: PSV Eindhoven to beat Fenerbache in Group G These 2 teams are in the same group as CSKA Moscow and Inter Milan and is one of the tougher groups in this season’s competition. Fenerbache lead the group at the moment with for points after beating Inter 1-0 at home and drawing 2-2 in Moscow. PSV have 3 points from their 2 games after losing 2-0 at Inter and BEATING CSKA 2-1 at home so this is a key game that can shape the group. In the Dutch league PSV have made a good start with 6 wins and 2 draws in their 8 matches so far and are 1 point behind leaders Feyenoord at this early stage of the season, during this time they have won 5 out of 5 home games scoring 16 and conceding only 1. Fenerbache are 4th in the Turkish league after an indifferent start to the season and have a record so far of W4 D4 L1 F13 A8 but the telling stat for me is that on the road they have yet to win in 4 games with 3 draws against Manisaspor (14th) 1-1, Bursas or (15th) 1-0, Glenclerbirligi (13th) 1-1 and a 2-0 defeat at Istanbul BB. The fact that they have failed to beat 3 mid table sides away from home must be a concern. These 2 sides meet in the group stages of the 2005-06 Champions league competition with Fenerbache winning 3-0 at home and PSV winning 2-1 at their ground. In all PSV have played 6 Turkish sides at the Philips Stadium and have yet to lose and I feel that the record will be maintained tonight. Early team news is that PSV coach Ronald Koeman will be without Ibrahim Afellay, who has not yet recovered from a broken toe, as well as fellow defender Manuel da Costa due to an ankle injury and forward Jason Culina who recently underwent knee surgery. Fenerbache will have to do without ex PSV forward Mateja Kežman, because of a groin problem, but Fenerbache coach Zico may call on midfielder Stephen Appiah, playing again after six months out with a knee injury. Good Luck all :cheers

    Czech Gambrinus Liga (Oct 19 - 22)

    in Other European Leagues Football Predictions

    Posted

    Re: Czech Gambrinus Liga (Oct 19 - 22) Mlada 6th take on Liberec 16th in todays game and i am going for a home win. Mlada are the form team over the last 6 games with 4 wins and 2 draws scoring 11 and conceding 4 and a win tonight would move them up to 4th in the league. At home in the league they han won 2 drawn 1 and lost 1 scoring 5 and conceding 3. They take on a Liberec side today who are bottom of the league which is a suprise for a team that finsihed 4th in the league last season with the same number of points as 2nd placed Slavia Prague but with an inferior goal differance. Their away form so far has seen them draw i and lose 4 of their matches and with only 1 win in their last 6, and 1 goal in their last 3 away games have i believe an uphill challenge to get anything out of the game today.

    Euro 2008 Qualifiers (Oct 13)

    in Other International Predictions

    Posted

    Re: Euro 2008 Qualifiers (Oct 13) I will be on Scotland at about 6/5 to beat Ukraine this afternnon. After the great win in France the Scot`s know a win today and then the same in Georgia will almost certainly ensure qualification before the final match at home to Italy. The Ukraine have been poor in qualifying and in the game in Kiev against Italy feel to pieces after the Italians got the second goal, Shevchenko has had a nightmare at Chelsea and with his confidence down i feel it will have a big effect on the Ukraine squad. I do not completely write off the Ukraine as with players like Voronin and Vorobei they have some class acts but the Scot`s have not lost at home in over 18 months and will surely be up for this game.
