Benfica - Olympique Marseille

  

I expect a very intriguing clash between both sides today as teams are in good form, the spirits are lifted and beside some minor injuries both managers will be glad to be able to line up their best starting elevens. Read more

Rubin Kazan - Wolfsburg

  

It is a tricky game to navigate, but still I’m going to write down what I have in mind. I’ll start with the bad pitch condition in Kazan, where it will be very hard for the visitors as they aren’t used to play on such hard and bumpy ground. Read more

Real Madrid - Lyon

It will be an intriguing clash today as Real is obliged to win in order to progress in the next stage of the tournament. Real plays difficult again Lyon and not only stats shows it, but the display in the previous game.

However I expect a game in which Real will dominate all over the pitch, while Lyon will try to hit the Whites by fast counter attacks. Hosts have some injury worries as Pepe is with long-term injury, while Drenthe and Benzema are both doubtful for the upcoming clash. In addition Marcelo and Alonso are suspended. Still Real is looking more dangerous than their opponents in attack where Ronaldo and Higuain are in hot form. Guti, Diarra, Granero and Kaka will be operating in the midfield, while Ramos, Albiol, Garay, Arbeloa will form the defensive line.

Lyon has no injury concerns ahead of the game and will line up their best starting eleven.  Guests are not convincing away from home this year and will have a hard time today at Bernabeu. They posses quality players, but I doubt they will be able to neutralize Real offense although this season the defense of Lyon has been impressive so far.

An early goal for Real or Lyon could turn the game into a goal parade for sure and that is what I’m hoping for. Real needs to attack, while Lyon will have to defend and try to exploit mistakes in Real defensive line by using their powerful weapon of fast counters. I expect Real to edge the victory, but as odds for home win are joke I’m counting on goals here.

Good Luck!

Roma - Milan

 

  

A great derby at Olympico that could end on of these two sides hopes of getting closer to Inter or could switch their places at the table. Both teams will be without some of their best players, so it will be interesting to see how they’ll cope with the absenties.

Arsenal - Standart Liege

 

 

Arsenal need only one point to secure their place in the next stage of the tournament. The Gunners are in good state of mind, although they feel that team was treated unfair in the game against Sunderland. I expect Arsenal to be highly motivated to win today and I see a really tough night for Standart. Liege side is far from their best and the form in Jupiler league shows team is suffering lately. Arsenal will go into this game with only one thought - to win with style and I see the sealing the 3 points with a big margin win.

Good Luck!

Pick: Arsenal - 1.5

Oman - Australia

  

I expect a low scoring game as both teams currently cannot offer good attacking powers and it seems to me that it will be a tough game with not many good opportunitites for the strikers.
