Had a decent day yesterday picking up 6 units, hope to continue today. I may add others, but here are my picks so far:
Liverpool -1
Porto
It's really simple for Liverpool here. Win, win, and WIN. This is a must win game for them if they want any chance of moving on to the group of 16. Expect Liverpool to attack all day long and not let up on the gas. Lots of controversy between Benitez and the owners right now and it's obvious Benitez is on a mission. They played a flawless game against Newcastle, which could have been a bigger win than 3-0. They absolutely destroyed Besiktas 8-0 in their last CL match and have looked great domestically ever since. Porto have done well but I also believe they overachieved. I like Liverpool up at Anfield in front of their loud and crazy fans to win by at least a couple of goals.
PICK: Liverpool -1 (5 units)
Predicted score: 2-0 Liverpool
Celtic -0.5
Shaktar Donetsk
Celtic has been impressive lately in the CL, beating AC Milan 2-1 and Benfica 1-0 in their last 2 CL matches. They have also played well domestically, leading the Scottish Premier league. This game is extremely important as the winner could very well determine who goes through to the round of 16. They face Shaktar Donetsk who they lost to on Matchday 3. However, they are playing at home in this one against a struggling Shaktar team. Shaktar have lost their last 2 CL games by a combined score of 7-1, losing to AC Milan both times. They overachieved early on, got some breaks, but lately have shown they don't have the skill to compete with the top clubs of Europe. There are also a few problems in the locker room between midfielder Nery Castillo and team coach Lucescu, and this sort of turmoil is never any good. I like a nice Celtic win here in front of their fans.
PICK: Celtic -0.5 (4 units)
Predicted score: Celtic 3-1
Benfica
AC Milan pk and -0.5
AC Milan comes into this game needing at least a draw to secure a spot in the final 16. However, I feel they will go for a win as this will secure top seed in the group without having to play Celtic for it. And Benfica is an easier opponent to beat than Celtic. They will be playing without Pippo Inzaghi and Ambrosini, but Seedorf is probably going to start tomorrow, as well as Ronaldo. I feel that's enough firepower to get the win, and I feel they are motivated enough to go for it.
PICK: AC Milan pk and -0.5 (2 units)
Predicted score: 2-0 Milan
If I like any more, I'll post em.
