CSKA - Bayern thoughts?

[AleksejJ]

any input on this game, and whether it would be a good option to parlay with 1,2 other games or to stay away from it?

[zizoudane10]

Stay away until you see what the weather is before game start. It was heavy snow all day long today.

[BHS]

Pitch was covered with snow today. I hope it stays like that so we can bet on under

[edabramov]

Handicap to CSKA.

[vasilli07]

Once again, do you trust the Russian teams? Look at Zenit last night.

[easyliving]

draw

[onemoregoal]

0-2?

[odog11]

Under or Moscow, juicy, but thinking under 3 safe. Bayern hodgepodge lineup most likely, don't need a big win or even a win really. Tough weather, tough travel and playing again in 3 days.

[sweepem]

looks like it will be fun. under is the best bet.

[hotelis]

is it really the weather? i mean, do Unders hit more often when the weather could be a factor in soccer?

[andy888888]

Yeah it affects the pitch and the players

[hotelis]

went outside for 20mins... pretty slippery

No such thing as "team doesn't give a sh about the game" or "team doesn't need a win" in the CL. Every point made brings tons of $$$ and a team with a management board from hell like Bayern, will play 100% for the points. And so will CSKA.

[gcd8]

only good bet i see on this game is the DRAW bayern resting some players with injuries but also cska is likely to be missing it's top scorer as well with injury will have to check the lineups before hand to make sure but can see this being a 1-1 kind of game tough to lay the juice with munich in a game they clearly don't need and hard to take cska to win outright because well let's face it bayern doesn't lose often DRAW for me

[NavsPicks]

0-0 correct score for me

[Tenver]

Strange game. Can go any way lol. Doubt Bayern can pull of a 2 goal win so +1,5 CSKA seems safest choice. But the odds are down now a bit. One thing I know is that it will be COLD! 1-2 goals both teams lol. Will be interesting game to watch though. CSKA apparently in much better shape now than first rendezvous.

[andy888888]

Gone with the under on this.

[harryseid]

It is cold and snowing in Moscow today and as usual I don't expect that the pitch will be that good. So, I doubt that the Germans will risk too much here and will settle for a narrow win. Moreover, Moscow is a hard place to get a result, especially in winter, so I also don't expect to see many goals here.


UNDER 2.5 goals


Good luck!!

Disagree. Tactical games and planning are always a factor. Look at Barca and Chelsea yesterday.

[NavsPicks]

With everyone going under ima hit the over . No lean just hate being on public side

Teams definitely approach games in terms of lineup and tactics based on the "need to win", especially during a busy schedule. I have never seen that teams make more on points, thought it was just based on advancing to the next stage or winning the group. How much money is at stake for that? I can't believe it is a huge amount.

Tht kinda pitch can go either way. Flukey goals .. Only way bayern doesn't put up goals is if CSKA plays perfect D and on a pitch like that... It's hard

[rb3b3]

Stay away from games in which a powerhouse has nothing to play for!!

[Marshall Tito]

Tough game to cap here. On first thought I would go with Bayern. On the other hand, I see a lot of under love so why not hit the o2.5. CSKA should be able to get a fluke goal at home and Bayern is usually good for 2.

Looking at their starting 11 they aren't resting ANYONE at all, the players not in the squad are the ones unavaliable because of injuries

Agree with this. Too often people associate any sort of weather conditions (rain/snow) and think low totals. Difficult footing as you said can play out different ways. Defensive mistakes can lead to easy goals, etc. I'd never make a bet solely on this sort of thing. Talent is still talent. I actually always thought sloppier conditions favored offensive players. They know where they are going, defense doesn't.

[ZorroToy]

Didnt take under , just went with bayern Straight win.
Good luck to bayern and whos on them!
lets cash it.

Oh is that why 7 of their starters are staying home? Because they have something to play for? This game is a crap shoot at best.

7 of their starters? WHO is not in that squad right now because he's 'resting' and NOT injured exactly?

[NavsPicks]

1-nil

[rb3b3]

If it was a game that mattered, u can bet anything you want that they would not be without 7 starters. Im not arguing with you, my original post was just to say its a suckers play when your betting a game in which a powerhouse has already advanced.

[plekz]

MY QUESTION (let's try in caps) was WHO is not in that squad currently because they are RESTING and NOT because they are injured, next post will be posting the lineup they had against Dortmund on Saturday because the one on TV right now is a MIRROR IMAGE except for Manducic who stayed home because he had problems with one of his ankles, the REST not there are already on the injury list since before the Dortmund game on saturday.

I shouldve said 7 players not starters i apologize only 3 starters out of the 7 who are not playing and all of which are injured. I just dont like betting a powerhouse when they have already advanced.Especially when one of my favorite players in the world has an injury and is not playing
