Anderlecht survived the hell in Belgrade and left with 2 away goals and look quite certain to make a group stage appearance in CL after seasn 2006/2007. I can't say that the Belgians are class above Partizan,but it did felt that they have just a little something more that will probabl carry them through. Not to mention the radicuolus own goal Anderlecht made for 2-1 in favour of Partizan,the result could hae been a clear away win i think if i wasn't that. But they showed great psychological condition and on the very next attack they drew. The weakest link in the Serbs is their defence and also their phisical condition in the latter stages of the match.
Lucas Biglia and Jonathan Legear for the hosts may play if they recover in time after som injury problems and is worth to say that despite they were resting players for their last league match against Lokeren they won easily with 0-3. I think the triple trouble up front Lukaku, Boussoufa and Suarez will win thematch for the home side.
Basel lost the chance to make the win in the 1st leg bigger with not converting a late penalty. This makes a very interesting 2nd one with only 1-0. The match was quite even but for this one Sheriff will lose some power with Sheriff missing Aleksandr Erokhin, Vladimir Brankovic and Miral Samardzic through suspension. Basel have showed that counter attacks are teh teams leathal weapon an with the home side looking for the win to at least get to extra time they may offer the Swiss side a game that its in their liking. I believe Basel won't lose in Tiraspol.
Sporting Braga have played good football and they deserve to be in that position as they are right now. The 1st leg was quite even with Sevilla being the team that missed more and payed in the end in an 1-0 loss. In a pure gut play i think the spaniards will win this match 2-0 and advance despite some injury concerns over goalkeeper Andres Palop and striker Luis Fabiano.
I think this is a must take over here between these two clubs. Västra Frölunda is a team with 2 faces when it comes to offencive/defencive game when playing at home or away. They tend to go over at home and under on the road while their opponents from Norrby go over whenever they play as they have gone over 2.5 in 12 of their 16 matches from the start of the League this year. Both teams have made 5 overs of their last 6 overall games played. In the h2h statistic they played 9 times - 6 overs and 3 unders and in th recent meetings 3 games 3 overs,on the ground of Västra 4 matches in whitch only 1 went under. At these odds and thse stats it simply has to be tried.
In short - The guests will be esting players as they hva much importnat match after this one,the odds have been slashed a lot and i am jumping on Cartagena.
Litex will meet tonight from 20.30 hours local time on the City stadium in Lovech Hungarian team from Debrecen in game rematch of the playoffs for the classification of groups of European League. "Orange" have a difficult task to eliminate his opponent after losing 0:2 in the first meeting. In Hungary, however, they created several goals situations and even thugh they didn’t realized them, this should give confidence to players on the Bulgarian champion. Surely in Litex attackers hope to have a day and even to unleash, because only victory with three goals difference will send "orange" to the groups. 2:0 win will also keep the chances of the Bulgarian leader since in such cases recently, and possibly penalties.
Litex are still unbeaten in the championship at home, as in the 4-th round of group "A" ended with 2:2 Lokomotiv Plovdiv and take 5-th place in the standings with 8 points - only two fewer than leader Chernomorets. At the same time, Debrecen, who last year eliminated Levski in the Champions League last weekend conceded the first defeat of the season in the Hungarian championship. Debrecen lost with 0:1 to Honved, and is second in the standings with 7 points just 1 short than leader Videoton.
Orange will be without French defender Alexandre Barthe and questionable because of injurie is midfielder Nebojša Jelenković. They will have to deal without their star attacking Ivelin Popov, who is reportedly not part of English side Blackburn yet,but he still waits for a transfer there. Bulgarian champion would probably go with two strikers in the face of Svetoslav Todorov and Wilfried Niflore. They will be supported actively by Tom and Hristo Yanev in the wings.
Debrecen coach Andrew Herceg has no problems with injured players or suspended ones.
The Hungarians are a class better than the Bulgarians and I expect them to not lose in Bulgaria.
