Borussia Dortmund - Club Brugge First i wanted to stay away, from this... cause of the fact, that one point will be enough for Dortmund, to go through the Group Stage.... but yeah...I am sure, they want to get the first place from Atletico Madrid and that would only be possible, with a win...Currently Dortmund is in heaven really... it looks good in the Bundes league and Champions League.... no injuries also... and last but not least... they play at home here...Indeed, nothing speaks against another win.... for Dortmund...For sure, not the form of their opponents either, they have lost their last two league games which you dont see often usually.... so it seems, they have some kind of problems...They were able, to beat Monaco, with 0:4, which was a big success... even considering the current form, of Monaco...Another problem for Brugge here, is the current fact, that they have alot of players, who are very doubtful... for this game... 7 or 8 players.... are not really ready here, due small injuriesAnyway.... conclusion.... Dortmund to win & over 2.5 goals @ 1.74 (local) Anytime scorer Paco Alcacer @ 1.90 (local) Atletico Madrid - Monaco Diego Simeone's men are clear favourites against the bottom side in Group A yet we should not expect them to run riot at the Wanda Metropolitano. One of the biggest surprises in last season's Champions League saw Atletico Madrid fail to get out of the group stages.This year, though, Diego Simeone's men are in a strong position to make sure they qualify for the last 16 and Los Rojiblancos will book their place in the knockout stages with a win over Monaco. The Ligue 1 side have been in disastrous form this term and head to the Spanish capital second bottom of the French top flight, whilst they are also bottom of Group A after picking up just one point from a possible 12. Diego Costa is a doubt for the hosts after coming off at the weekend against Barcelona with a knock. Uruguayan centre-back pairing Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez both missed the draw with the Catalans, although the latter has a chance of returning on Wednesday. Monaco have endured a whole host of injury problems this season, although they were boosted by the return of Radamel Falcao at the weekend and the Colombian should be fit to face his former club. There is little to make us oppose a home win, with Atletico clearly a superior outfit to a struggling Monaco. The hosts won 2-1 in France back on matchday one and in the 13 matches they have played since then, they have suffered just one defeat. Atleti should win on Wednesday yet, most of their victories come in relatively low scoring games.In 23 of the 26 matches they have won in their new stadium, fewer than four goals have been scored, with Atleti failing to score more than three goals in any of their last 18 matches in all competitions. Atletico Madrid to win & under 3.5 goals @1.92 (local) Anytime scorer A.Griezmann @1.65 (local)

Serbia - Montenegro Local derby. Serbia is at the top of the table with 8 points. Montenegro has 7, Romania 6. There are still two rounds left and with both victories Serbia will definitely win the group. The Serbian team has several absences, but there are players who will replace them. Montenegro also has a lot of injured players, but it will be much harder for them to replace them since they don`t have that much wide in their team.. This will be a big problem for the visitors. I usually do not bet on Serbia but in such circumstances I will. It's true that you never know with Serbia , but I think we are a better team, we play before the home fans and I expect a positive outcome. The first match in Podgorica ended 2-0 (Mitrovic scored a double) and I expect something similar today. Serbia to score in both half @2.35 (local) Anytime scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic @1.90 (local)

@StevieDay1983 Unfortunately I did not have time to write a post because I traveled to Belgrade for a match. But i had the same pick as you - Crvena zvezda AH1(+2) Ohh men...what a match and what a night.. The European giant definitely woke up. As for me, from now on i will consider you as a Crvena zvezda fan. Cheers Here is one photo that i made from our Marakana stadium.

@CzechPunter what do you think about Federer - Raonic match?

Liverpool - Crvena zvezda I do not have time for a longer preview. Although I do not think we will lose that much like we did in Paris, we will again suffer a huge defeat. We`ll play without Rodic and Marin, so these absences will make the game even more difficult for us. Liverpool AH(-2) @1.70 (local)

All three winning picks

Red Star travels to Paris where they will face the super-strong PSG side. The team and individual quality gap is just huge and I`m afraid of a big defeat. But the odds on handicap and goals Market are very low,so there is nothing interesting to me. I really like Dortmund tonight. After a disappointing campaign in Champions League last season they`ve made some changes in team,brought new players and made interesting mixture of young and experienced players. Under new coach Lucien Favre they look very solid at the beginning of the season. Monaco is going through some kind of transition. It's obvious that they are making a new, young team. There are still some familiar faces at Monaco like Falcao,Glik and Sidibe,but it`s not the same,strong team that reached the UCL semi-final couple years ago. Also, some important players missing for away team - Subasic, Rony Lopes and Jovetic. Dortmund looks really impressive upfront and in the final third of the pitch. With likes of Reus,Paco,Pulisic and Sancho they are sharp and clinical. I agree with @newjack - we could see some goals here as well in this match. For me Dortmund&over 2.5 goals @1,80 (local) Anytime Scorer Paco Alcacer @1.90 (local) Double parlay Atletico Madrid & Dortmund @1,83 (local)

Ramos...what a joke of a player he became.

I should have stick to AH pick. Sorry guys.

Alright then.. Crvena zvezda - Napoli So Red Star Belgrade,Rotern Stern or Stella Rossa di Belgrado is back where it`s belong - in top European competition. It's little strange that journey took so long,but there you go. Better late than ever i guess. In the first match of the group stage we will face Napoli, runners-up of the two consecutive seasons in Serie A. A very strong team that you know quite a lot about so I will not waste my time writing too much about them. Match will be played in amazing atmosphere. Tickets are sold out for all three home matches so the Rajko Mitic Stadium will be packed with fans. The match will be attended by members of the Zvezda`s golden generation who won the Champions Cup in 1991 such as Dejan Savicevic,Robert Prosinecki, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Vladimir Jugovic,Darko Pancev etc. So it`s going to be quite a spectacle. The team is looking good,still without a defeat in season. In play-off round of qualifications we knocked-out Salzburg with 2-2 aggregate result on aways goals with both of my picks (Crvena zvezda AH2 +1 and CZ to qualify) winners. It is very important to mention that we finally have all players available. Lorenzo Ebicillio is back from injury,so is Jonathan Cafu who we signed from Bordeaux. On the last day of transfer window we lost Nemanja Radonjic who went to Olimpique Marseille, but we bought three very good players - Causic, Boakye and Marin (former German internarional and former Chelsea player). All three of them are expected to start tomorrow. In particular, the return of Boakye is a significant reinforcement because Zvezda has stuggled a bit upfront. I saw Napoli in couple of occasions in this season. Even though they didn't change their squad at all i feel that they are in some kind of transition under new coach,legendary Carlo Ancelotti,trying to adopt to his ideas and football philosophy. Their backline look a little bit shaky and in this i see some chance for us to keep a tie tight and maybe even avoid a defeat,altough Napoli is stronger side with more quality. Initially i was going for AH1 (+2/+1,5) because i think this will be much closer than odds suggest,but odds has dropped significantly so i`ll try with more risky pick. Crvena zvezda to score over 0,5 team goals @1,85 With Boakye,Marin,Ben&co. i think we have enough firepower to score at least one goal. GL!

Just came here to write exact same thing.

Czech, do I miss something or do you have no picks for today's matches?

I still don't know how we pulled this out but frankly i don't care much. I was so wasted last night. We are back where we belong.

Vika runs riot against Gavrilova

I thought so
