Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Manchester United is performing quite sparingly in the Champions League after defeating Galatasaray with a minimum score at "Old Trafford" and won 2-1 Cluj in Romania.In their last match Utd beat Stoke 4-2 with two goals from Wayne Rooney and one of Danny Welbeck and Van Persie. In their last five games on the pitch "Red Devils" have four wins and one defeat came from Tottenham three weeks ago ..Braga started very little participation in the group stage conceding twice at home from Cluj. In his visit to Turkey in the second round, however, the Portuguese kept their chances of continuing forward, beating Galatasaray 2-0. Sporting Braga warmed to visit the "Old Trafford" with 3-0 success against second division Leysoesh and continued their Cup run. Braga play strong as a guest with two wins, two draws and one loss.Manchester United are keen favorite in the game and will look to take an early advance before the break and to keep it till the end of the match. Six days after this match Man Utd. will face Chelsea twice, so the "Red Devils" need no tense moments at the end of the game against Braga. Tight Home win 1:0 or 2:0

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Man.United - Braga Man.United are doing not bad at the moment, but they still have some problems in defense and they haven't kept many clean sheets so far. In my opinion this is unlikely to change until Vidic is back. According to uefa.com "United have never lost at home to Portuguese opponents but José Peseiro's Braga are on a seven-match unbeaten sequence on their travels in Europe". Moreover, since the Red Devils have an important game against Chelsea I won't be surprised if Sir Alex decides to rest some players. Man.United are top of the group and even a draw wouldn't change that. Braga in my opinion did well to beat Galatasaray away and I would consider them the main contenders for the second spot here. I really can't see them losing by more than 1 goal here, and a draw would not surprise me at all. Braga +2 @ 1.67 William Hill (this is a good pick for an accumulator)

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) I dont think Fergusson will rest anyone here after what happened last year. They are not good enough to do that.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd)

I dont think Fergusson will rest anyone here after what happened last year. They are not good enough to do that.

Probably doing some changes here but he won't take them not serious. He will go for the 3 points that's for sure. SAF wants United to qualify as soon as possible. A win here would do them a great part in achieving the next round. He is absolutely aware of the Galatasray rematch knowing this will be hell. So no experiments here. Probably 2-3 changes as he always rotates as United have a big squad. I can see Hernandez, Kagawa and Cleverley comming in. Also Anderson could start as he was good against Stoke when he came on for Scholes. Young and Smalling could come back too after being out a couple of months (each of them, Young was out for 2 months and Smalling since may). A couple of possibilities for Ferguson here. Either he sticks to his old formation with 2 wingers or opt to use the "diamond formation". I see both Cleverley and Anderson starting here, Kagawa as well. I expect a strong team, with Ferguson having the Chelsea game in mind, he might want to finish this rather sooner than later. He cold opt to start with Hernandez and Welbeck up front placing van Persie and Rooney on the bench with Young, Cleverley and Kagawa all possible to play as an offensive midfielder. My bet would be United to win the first half. Or wait to see the line-up.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) With Rooney, RVP and Wellbeck in such top form I think there is no chance of Man Utd slipping up here. Ok they might concede here like they did at stoke on the weekend but even if Braga score 3, Man Utd can easilly score 4. So definitely thinking over 2.5 here but otherwise 10 pts on Man Utd Win @ 1.36

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) I think it is the final, final, final time for Galatasaray to win. Surely they are better in terms of quality, since Cluj is the level of an average team from the Turkish Superlig. They are a solid team, they have made some very good results recently, but you have to possess a greater quality and depth in the team to achieve continuous results. Galatasaray has underperformed recently, but now they have to raise to the occasion. Bulut, Eboue, Inan, Amrabat, Altintop, Muslera... They have to deliver at some point and I think this is the ideal time. Galatasaray HW @1,8 and Galata Team Over 1,5 goals @1,9 (at local)

[Deniz]

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Another match for Galatasaray matter of survive in Group. We may think and also comments will declare that Galatasaray wants to qualify to next step in CL. But the truth, I suppose, is only to revive the more probable target holding the 3rd place and continue in Europa League among Galatasaray's players. A lot of people will criticize my opinion but I am gonna tell it anyway. What you have seen about Galatasaray is all you can see. Nothing more nothing less. They wont play different than last two matches against M.United and Braga. Zero goals zero points and I can still see too much optimistic opinions about Galatasaray. I amnot enemy of Galatasaray nor have prejudices about them. That Galatasaray 2nd most conceeded team in Turkey even they hold 1st place in league. !! Average 1,5 goals they have conceeded in CL and 0 scored. Same average 1,5 in 8 games in Superleague but they have scored 2 in 8 games in Superleague. 7 of 8 matches finished Over 2,5 in Super league. One game which they lost was Under. 2-0 lost against Ordu. It is ineteresting. When they get point or points match goes Over, when they lose it stays Under 2,5. In Champions League too. But this match is so important that we cant totally pick prediction from those stats. On the other side CFR Cluj has scored and conceeded total 37 goals in 12 games. Average 3 goals!! They maynot be in good position in their league but also Galatasaray isnot living summer in our league. Mediocre teams even has been able to score against Galatasaray. And also Galatasaray havent won the matches they were supposed to in last 4 games! 1 point wont be enough for Galatasaray coz probably Cluj and Galatasaray are expecting M.United win against Braga. If that happens and this match comes draw then group M.United 9 points-Cluj 4 points Braga 3 points Galatasaray 1 points. This may seem Galatasaray will let their hopes survive further for Europa League. But what about morale? And also then they will still not be able to get rid of must-win matches. Math may tell different but human factor emotions will change everything. Galatasaray only will be able to win if they not conceed or lead the score by margin of 2. I dont know alot about CFR Cluj. But I am expecting Over 2,5 goals with the help of Cluj on scoreboard. If Cluj puts not to conceed and make defense 90 mins in their plans as first target then Draw will be another choice of mine. From my reasoning ( I know it is too long sorry for that) Both Teams To Score is easily educed. Galatasaray can win? Why not. Nothing impossible. But I cant draw that picture or game plan for that. Selcuk Inan will be able to play in this match. Possible Line-up: Muslera-Eboue-Semih-Dany-Hakan-Hamit-Melo-Selcuk-Amrabat-Elmander-Umut. In forward line I dont think Fatih Terim will start with Burak.If he plays,It will be advantage for Cluj. There are no noticeable bench player to change the game route or diversify the game plan. If you arent agree with me I will be glad to hear what Galatasaray can do with this team players other then they have been doing in this season in terms of game tactic. Donot forget If one teams MUST win a match that willnot mean they will!!! My Predictions: 1- Over 2,5 Goals 2- Both Teams To Score 3- Draw Full Time Good luck all.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Rio and evra being rested for tomorrows game and looks like giggs is coming into centre midfield which will weaken the team tremendously!

Evra has become a liability, Buttner will come in. As for Rio, Wootten to come in? Perhaps Carrick will drop back from central midfield if Giggs is coming in, Kagawa is definitely going to start too. I'm not going to be betting on this but if I was I would be going with both teams to score, United are just poor at the back and while you would expect Braga to lose they are decent on the counter and I doubt if it will be a 'to nil' victory.

[kevshat]

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) 4pts Man Utd vs Braga - Both teams to score 19/20 Coral Manchester United are expected to win this match and I think they probably will but I wouldn’t say they will win it by a landslide and with Fergie having decided to rest Ferdinand and Evra you fancy there will be chances for a Braga side who seem to create a lot of chances. Therefore the bet which catches my eye the most is the both teams to score bet which is just a shade under evens. United’s attack is potent and their defence is more open these days so I’ll take both to score here.

Fergie has declared that he will be resting Evra and Ferdinand.Alex Buttner is likely to replace Evra while Scott Wooton is to replace Ferdinand. Also,Ashley Young returns to the team and Kagawa will be involved in tonights match up.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Well, Imma give a little preview on CFR before this game. Don't know much about the turkish side since I don't follow at all that league but I'll help with info from my side of country for this encounter. There is lot of pressure at CFR Cluj after they lost to a newly promoted team last round on their home ground, and the coach knows if no positive result will come from the game to Galatasay he will most probably get fired. CFR's owners already started talks with other coaches from Portugal and Italy. Arpad Paszkany said in a press conference that if the coach is not taking his job seriously, there will be consequences and that with current attitude, CFR could be beaten by 7 goals in Turkey. He didn't talk to Andone yet but he awaits for this game to take final decision this week. Pressure is felt on Andone also as he already made some calls in the UAE to ask if he is needed to coach there. Losing to rivals Steaua two rounds ago, and losing last round to a weaker opposition has highly killed their chances to fight for the title this year and all what's left for them to save their image is the European competitions. Sougou, one of the players who score during qualification for CFR will most probably miss this game, going off the pitch in last game after only 10 minutes with some muscle pains. Tho' CFR still has dangerous players upfront who could score if they get the chance today. Probably Galatasaray will drop all cards into this game, failure being fatal for them. I could think of a game which will see goals. If Galata' will play up on the pitch to create their chances to score, I could possibly see CFR also getting some chances and converting them. Only thing which annoys me at the moment at CFR and which could turn the game into a colapse, is the pressure at the club. Would be nice if someone could give us some info from Turkey about today's game.

Check earlier posts in this title. Being champion in Turkey doesnt make sense alot nowadays. Coz not like few years ago, now a team may become champion by not being a strong team but by having weaker rivals. Last year Galatasaray competed with Fenerbahce which had a lot of troubles about match fixing sues. Eventhough ,with the help of un reasonable playoff rules, Fenerbahce missed the title by 1 point if I amnot wrong. Trabzonspor and Beşiktas were worse than being imagined. This year same movie is in theathers. Galatasaray seems to be stronger and rivals have different struggle stories. Fenerbahce has few issues with players and head coach, Besiktas has few issues with financial deficit, Quaresma and young inexperienced players, Trabzonspor has few issues with not having a strong striker etc. So Local League shouldnt give you a lot for this match. Whoeever thinks different ,this team doesnt have a good decent player in bench. Check my first post to find few ideas about this match.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Last game Galata played at home but that didn't help them much, same goes for CFR as they look like they play better on away games, both teams have problems in defense in my opinion but I think both have the right players to be able to score (even if Sougu will miss the game). BTTS is somewhere between 1.8 and 1.99 so this looks like a much safer option to pick for me.

[Deniz]

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) I may offer your a different point of view to help you clearing your mind about your bet Zacharael. Did you watch Turkey-Romania match in World Cup Elimination group? Turkey played almost like Galatasaray does. Ofcourse with different players. :). But general view is thesame. You check that via videos of Turkey's and Galatasaray's matches. You havent seen Selcuk Inan in National team but he isnot so called hard weapon as he is used to be in Trabzonspor. Coz last year Trabzonspor played counterattack mostly and his long passes and thoughtful mid passes created alot of chances and result of alot goals and assists. Last year 2 goals and 14 assists in 38 games! Not very good at all for a player who is expected to make a lotof differences when he plays on behalf of his team. This year he has scored once. A penalty kick I suppose. In my opinion he is a good player but overrated. And team's tactic is cruticial for him to show his talents. He is a great punisher in a counter attack minded teams. But ıf their rival closes its defense then only his free kicks become dangerous. Anyway ball is in your field now Zacharael :) If you think Cluj can play as Romania did against Turkey then Cluj will carry this match to Over 2,5 goals easier than I guess. And one anectode from Selcuk Inan's press release: " When I get the ball Burak Yilmaz begins shouting " Selcuk Selcuk ..." then I am getting confused and looking for him right away and some times I make mistakes coz of this" :)

[Zacharael]

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Problem is CFR Cluj has more players from other countries than romanians in the team. Last year CFR had a good defense, conceding only 11 goals on away ground whole season while this season, they let in 9 goals already in 6 games. Kapetanos and Bastos are dangerous players for CFR and they can score if they get the chance, tho' I dunno how will they approach the game. I understood from some press conferences that they will try to get the draw there and win here in Romania which is not such a good attitude IMO. I'll probably wait more to get more info and news before placing a bet.

[hovi]

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) Hi I was reading the thread, thought I might be able to help a bit regarding the Galatasaray - CFR Cluj. Zacharael already mentioned about CFR Cluj that they have problems internally, the coach will most likely be sacked after this game, newspapers in Romania claimed he is already seeking an Arab club to coach. CFR Cluj scored in all games played this season... till the last 2, two consecutive 1-0 defeats at Steaua, and home with Viitorul, they are looking like a team lacking in confidence, their players up-front Bastos, Kapetanos, Sougou were in very good form early this season, playing way above their usual performances. The game with Manchester cut their wings, since than they are really struggling with scoring. My personal belief here is that if Galatasaray will score the first goal, they will be able to score the 2nd as well. CFR Cluj only has a chance in this game as long as they are not behind. If that happens, they will open up, and Galatasaray winning on the handicap is very possible. Also, keep in mind this... CFR Cluj in all 3 participations in the Champions League group stage won their opening game. 2-1(A) As Roma, 2-1(H) Basel and 2-0(A) Braga. But everytime, they failed to win any of the remaining games, and everytime finished 4th. Psychologically speaking, they no longer consider themselves heavy under-dogs here, like they did with Braga. They played above their potential both against Braga and Man UTD, and getting complacent won't help their cause. Their defence is bad, they are not scoring goals lately, they will try the same counter-attacking game and hope Galatasaray will miss its scoring chances. But their luck has run out, In a good day for them, they could have made the surprise, but not today. This is an extremelly important game for Galata, they are still top of the league, they are still scoring goals, their players do not have mood swings which make them good for couple of games and poor for rest of the season, they remain quality players. Odds are great, I suggest Galatasaray over 1.5 goals @1.90 - have them local. Let's say 20 euros on that - +18 euros possible profit. Now, taking Galatasaray over 2.5 goals @4.75 - 10 euros, that would make it +37.5 euros profit. Hit both, get 55.5 euros profit, 30 euros invested, hit the first, +8 euros, lose both -30 euros, only way I see that can happen is Galatasaray scoring late in the game and winning it 1-0 however, but I believe Galatasaray will score till the 60th minute at the latest, giving time for CFR Cluj to hit the auto-destruct button. I preffer this instead of the over, as I simply do not trust CFR's scoring chances here, no matter how poor Galatasaray is defensively. Braga - CFR Cluj 0-2 was the result of fantastic counter-attacking skills from Sougou and Bastos, now Sougou is injured, even if he plays he won't last long, Bastos is out of form, complacent fellow, while Kapetanos without receiving decent balls can not score. Also expect Sepsi and Camora in the team. Both are left defenders, but Camora will play as left midfielder. That will prove useless in offence, and defending extra won't help, CFR is poor in the center of defence, Braga had 33 shots on target, But Galata has players capable of scoring in every position, powerfull players in the air, where CFR suffers. Bookies give a gift here really, 1.75 on CFR... imagine CFR taking a draw at most at Braga, Galata winning with Braga, this game would have had at most 1.50 for Galata, and over 1.5 goals Galata 1.60. Writting too much... just feel there is good money to be made here.

Re: Group H > Oct 23 (CFR Cluj, Galatasaray, Braga, Man Utd) KEY STATS [TABLE]

[TR] [TD]MAN UTD [/TD] [TD]BRAGA [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Have scored in their last 18 consecutive European matches [/TD] [TD]Unbeaten in their last 7 away games in Europe [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] INJURIES/SUSPENSIONS Man Utd: Rio Fedinand and Patrice Evra to be rested. Vidic, Jones & Smalling remain the longer term absentees. Braga: Douglão, Djamal and Paulo César have all stayed in Portugal due to injury. Ismaily and Ruben Amorim faced fitness tests in Monday's training session. Alan is a doubt after only recently returning from injury. VERDICT Manchester United learnt an important lesson last season about resting players in Champions League Football, but Sir Alex Ferguson has already announced could there be a weakened back line this evening with Buttner and Wootton coming in for the more experienced Evra and Ferdinand. The United defence has looked susceptible at its strongest this season, and could be tested yet again by a Braga side who have an outstanding away record in European football. Braga do have a number of fitness concerns, but are heading to Old Trafford without fear and confident of a positive result. Despite a huge number of chances, the Portuguese outfit failed to score at home to Cluj and were punished on the break twice to go down 2-0. The win against Galatasaray put them back on track, but they need to go for it tonight. Little value in backing the United victory so I can only agree with Kevshat in looking at both sides to hit the back of the net… VALUE BET Both teams to score @1.91 (Various)
