18:30h (CET)   Zenit Petersburg v Juventus         

                            1          X           2                          Under2.5    /    Over2.5                Gamebookers

                         1.85     3.75      3.75                             1.80     /     1.95

                        Zenit has finished very bad their season in the Russian Championship. The team was much more

                        concentrated on the competition in the Champion League and therefore they are not able to defend

                        the title of Russian Champion. In the Russian Championship they finished season on 5th place on the

                        table. In this game they come with the intention to win in order to justify participation in this competition.

                        For now, they succeeded to remaining whole team and they hope to be able to victory in this game.

                        On the table of CL they are located on the 3th position with 4 points.

                        The results of the last five games at home: won Energiya V. with 8:1, played 1:1 with Bate (CL) and 2:2 with

                        Saturn, won Khimki 1:0 and with Dynamo Moscow played 1:1.

                        Juventus against Real M. was showed that knows how to play the game in the Champions League. However,

                        their skill did not show in the last game against Inter, when they defeated with 0:1. In that game were not

                        like Juventus that we already know and they played as a team from a lower rank. This team still doesn't have

                        the possibility to be a threat for every opponent as it was before a last seasons. They take first place in the

                        group with 10 points, and if they don't lose this game, they will be certainly in the next round of CL.

                        The results of the last five away games: lost with 1:2 from Napoli, won Bologna with 2:1, Real with 2:0 (CL),

                        Kievo Verona 2:0 and lost with 0:1 from Inter.

                        For host this is the only chance to save the season and will do all that they can to take victory. They have

                        a really good team that, last season when they won the UEFA Cup, proved that they play and with the largest

                        European teams. On the other hand, Juventus don't plays on his level, but it is still a very dangerous opponent

                        and that showed against Real M.

                        My bet: 1, over2.5                                                                                                                      Result: (0:0) 0:0

20:45h (CET)   BATE Borisov v Real Madrid         

                            1          X           2                          Under2.5    /    Over2.5                Gamebookers

                         6.00     3.75     1.60                           2.15     /     1.65

                        BATE is, ten days ago, won one more champion title and this match with Real will start in excellent mood.

                        They had enough time to make some new tactics for this match and coach Victor Gancharenko was watch

                        Real's style of play, and looking for a weak point that they could use. BATE has surprised Juventus and

                        Zenit and if they took a point from Real it would be a great success. The field in Belarus will be probably

                        difficult to play as well as cold time. BATE has played more than 50 games this season and this can be

                        a problem. They have a lot to run to stop guests from Madrid and the players will probably get tired in

                        second half, which can be converted into advantage for Real. Beside Rzhevsky, coach Gancharenko

                        have all players available.

                        The results of the last five games at home: lost from Minsk with 1:4  (Belarus, Cup), won Dynamo B.

                        1:0, Torpedo Zhodino 2:1, lost from Zenit 0:2 (CL)and played 1:1 with Vitebsk.

                        Real is after two consecutive defeats by Juventus in the situation that they must fight with Zenit for next

                        round. Now they need a victory. They failed to recover from two mentioned defeats that influenced on

                        their games in Primera, while Real Union eliminated them from Cup. Coach Bernd Schuster is under pressure

                        although the administration supports him. Real managed to recover from last week defeat from Valladolid

                        and beat Rekreativo at home in the previous round. Schuster's team showed progress in that game and will

                        try to do same against BATE. However, the German will have a lot of problems with the team because,

                        Nilsterooy, Robben, Higuain, Cannavaro, De la Red and Diarra are out of the team due injury. So,

                        Saviola could take place in attack next to Raul coz, two of them are only available attackers in the team,

                        while Van der Vaart and Sneijder will be responsible for the creation of opportunities.

                        The results of the last five away games: won Atlético Madrid 2:1, lost with 1:2 from Juventus (CL), Real

                        Union 2:3 (SPAIN, Cup), played 1:1 with Almeria and lost 0:1 from Valladolid.

                        Although Real is not in good shape and will have a lot of players who will not be able to play on this meeting,

                        they have enough quality to achieve victory. Players who will play as a substitute are much better than

                        domestic players. Teams such as Real knows how to play this kind of game. Host will try everything to be

                        worthy opposed to one of the world's largest clubs. However, the quality is not on their side.

                        My bet: 2, over2.5                                                                                                               Result: (0:1) 0:1

20:45h (CET)   Aalborg BK v Celtic         

                               Under2.5    /    Over2.5                Gamebookers

                                     1.80     /     1.95

                        Aalborg is on the last place on the table but, still have a chance to take third place in the group, and to

                        take place in the UEFA Cup. In the domestic championship, they improve their game after three consecutive

                        draws with three consecutive victories. Showed that they can achieve goals even against the best teams

                        in the group but, at the same time, and to receive too many goals. Aalborg plays offensive football at home

                        and so will be against Celtic. In addition to the injured Thomas Envoldsen, coach Allan Kuhn have no new

                        problems with injuries.

                        The results of the last five games at home: played 1:1 with Horsens, lost from Nordsjaelland 1:2, played

                        2:2 with Villarreal (CL), 0:0 with BRONDBY and lost with 2:1 from Esbjerg.

                        Celtic has not achieve victory away when it comes to games in the CL. They have a really good team but,

                        all their successes can be observed only in the competition in Scotland, where they are the strongest team.

                        The situation with violations is much better and Gordon Strachan will be able to count on some key players

                        who have recovered from injuries. Forward Vennegoor of Hesselink and Aiden McGeady are return to the

                        team and Celtic's attack will be much stronger in this game. Paul Hartley and Barry Robson should take

                        their place in the middle of the field, which means that Gary Caldwell is back in the middle of defense.

                        Massimo Donati is the only injured player but he is already not a standard player. Celtic have no choice but

                        to apply offensive approach and try to make a very important victory.

                        Results of the last five away games: lost from Manchester United with 0:3 (CL), won Kilmarnock with  3:1

                        (Scotland, League Cup), Hearts 2:0, Hamilton Academical 2:1 and Saint Mirren 3:1.

                        This is a fight between two teams that will decide who will go in the UEFA Cup. Nobody want to finish this

                        match with draw, so both teams will go to win and they can expect that from the current form.

                        My bet: over2.5                                                                                                               Result: (0:0) 2:1

20:45h (CET)   Villarreal v Manchester Utd         

                            1          X           2                          Under2.5    /    Over2.5                Gamebookers

                         3.20     2.70      2.70                              1.55     /     2.35

                         Villarreal is in a small crisis of results because, in last ten games they made just three victories, five draws

                         and two defeats. In the last round in Primera they have lost at home from Valladolid with 0:3 while they

                         played with strongest team . Possible that this game was in thoughts of Villarreal players. In this game

                         they need only one point so that together with Manchester ensure passage in the next round. Pellegrini was

                         replaced Senna, Cazorla and Rossi against Valladolid to rest them for this match, while Nihat is still uncertain.

                         The results of last five games at home: won Aalborg 6:3 (CL), played 4:4 with Atlético Madrid, won Almeria

                         2:1, played  1:1 with Polideportivo Ejido (SPAIN, Cup) and lost from Valladolid 0:3.

                         Manchester has a lot of problems in the game when it comes away. At home, they don't have grace for

                         opponents but that play they don't showing and in guests area. Manchester has a great defense. Dimitar

                         Berbatov is injured, which means that Ferguson will have to bring Tevez and Rooney. Those two will likely

                         have some defensive tasks, which could further jeopardize the chances to give a goal in this game. Wes

                         Brown and Gary Neville are injured. Goalkeeper Van der Sasar and young attacker Wellbeck will not travel to

                         Spain because of injuries.

                         The results of the last five away games: won Blackburn rovers 2:0, played 1:1 with Everton, Celtic 1:1 (CL),

                         lost from Arsenal with 1:2 and played 0:0 with Aston Villa.

                         Draw is the result with which would be satisfied both teams. Probably will not be too much trouble on both

                         sides, however, if someone achieve a goal that would mean an open game in which the other team have to

                         chase result. It is interesting that their last three meetings finished with the identical result 0:0. Both teams

                         will go to the same result but the question remains what will happen if someone achieve a goal.

                         Villarreal must not allow themselves to lose this game because they must play away with Celtic.

                         My bet: X, over2.5                                                                                                             Result: (0:0) 0:0
