Re: FC Bayern München v FC Porto > Tuesday April 21st

The first leg was pretty bizarre, Dante showed again that he can be very error-prone hardly a top level centre back but with the current injury list they have few options I don't think he will play tonight though after his recent gaffes. Not sure how much of an impact the missing full backs will have with Bayern missing their two natural wingers in Ribery and Robben and Shaqiri moved on to pastures new, it will rely a lot on Bernat and Rafinha to provide width down the flanks - relying on your full backs in this way will give Porto opportunity to hit them on the break. I don't think Porto are anything special but if they stick to a solid game plan they could go through, you would imagine they will need to score though, they also had the advantage of resting virtually the entire starting XI at the weekend. Bild have predicted the following line-up: Neuer; Refinha, Boateng, Badstuber, Bernat; Alonso, Lahm, Thiago; Muller, Gotze; Lewandowski. Robben completed 45mins individual training yesterday and has prompted rumours in the German press but is unlikely to be involved with no first team training behind him, Ribery more likely to be on bench of the two. I've had a small bet on Bayern qualifying, think they will find a way but looks 50/50 really. Bayern to Qualify - 2.0 - spreadex - 1 Point WON
Don't think anyone expected the game to be as straightforward as it was. Porto didn't turn up, their gameplan - if indeed they had one - was totally wrong and they simply sat back and let Bayern run over them.
