CHAMPIONS LEAGUE -- GROUPS G & H
2021-11-01
In group G, there is a clash of the Titans again: Group leaders Real Madrid (9 points, +115) will go to Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milano to battle AC Milan (4 points, +215), in their first game with former FIFA Player of the Year and World Champion Zinedine Zidane as Mourinho's assistant. With such a fantastic addition to their technical staff, one can only imagine the motivation of the players to do their best in Italy. Zidane is in a way coming back to the game that gave him so much, and to which he gave pearls of craftsmanship that have stayed carved in the memory of millions of soccer fans around the world. I would even dare to say that Zizou is looking for a little redemption, to help erase the last dramatic image of his aggression to Marco Materazzi in 2006 World Cup Final. It looks like a very even match though, and I say that both teams will bring a hell of a show in a tied and hardly fought game. The odds for that to happen are +235, by the way…
In the other game of this group, Ajax (4 points, +150) travels to France to play against Auxerre (0 points, +165). Even though the odds are quite even in this line, I can not avoid thinking about the terrible season Auxerre is having in their home league, playing against many teams that do not even have half the strength Ajax has. I think it will be a clear and undisputed win for the Dutch team. Period.
In group H, there are a couple of very entertaining games. First, Ukraine’s Shakthar (6 points) will receive the visit of leader Arsenal (9 points +130), having the painful remembrance of their 0-5 defeat in London in the last matchday. Despite that amazing difference, I think the Ukranians will have a very different attitude in this game, and supported by their noisy and loyal fans, they have great chances of a tie (+225) or even a win (+195). Let’s see…
Also in group H, Partizan Belgrade (0 points, +130) will play home against Portuguese Sporting Braga (3 points, +195). Eager for their first win in the competition, the Serbians might very well get it against a Braga that is not as surprising as it was in the qualifying stage, where they knocked Celtic Glasgow and Sevilla from Spain out of this competition. It seems that Partizan will have their sweet revenge, turning this group into a very interesting one towards the last 2 games…
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE -- GROUPS C & D
2021-11-01
This coming Tuesday we will also see some action in group C, where Manchester United is in the lead with 7 points, closely followed by Scottish champs Rangers with 5, and Valencia with 4. Turkish champ Bursaspor has had a rough time, since the have 0 points, but that doe not necessarily mean that they can not ruin one of the other team's aspirations with a tie and why not?, maybe even a victory. You know what they say about teams that have nothing to lose being the most dangerous ones...
Manchester United will receive Bursaspor in Old Trafford. The Turkish are +425, and Manchester is -166. Easy money in this one. When I said Bursaspor is a team to be careful with, I meant Valencia or Rangers, but not Manchester!
Spanish Valencia (-285) will receive a devalued Rangers (+725), who will not be able to play with their starter forward James Beattie because of an injury that is been troubling hin since last September 11. He was able to play in their 3-1 win against Celtic last week, but he injured again, so there is one more negative mark to add to the fact that they will be playing Valencia as visitors...
In Group D, Barcelona is the leader with 7 points, followed by Danish Kopenhagen with 6, then Rubin Kazan with 2 and Panathinaikos with 1 point. Barcelona just comes from crushing Sevilla 5-0 last Saturday, with 2 goals of Argentinean star Lionel Messi. who seems back on track after the brutal injury he suffered by Atletico Madrid`s defender Ujfalusi for the Spanish league. They will be receiving Kopenhagen in a new opportunity to show their power in front of their people. Barca is -222, and the Danish +550. Pretty convincing numbers, don't you think?
The other game has Greek Panathinaikos (+485) travelling to hostile Russia to face Rubin Kazan (-181), a match with very uneven odds as well. As uneven as they might seem, there is still a very small chance that we see a tie in this one, but like I said, very small one. Why? Because Panathinaikos is a very hard fighting team, and not everything is lost for them yet. This is just a crazy hunch, even though the Russian victory seems obviuos to many, something tells me that the Greek might take something more than a nice trip to Russia out of this one...
