I opened this thread to discuss Champions League games here under one roof, we can work together to find value plays.
So far.
Maccabi Haifa v Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich have had an offensive explosion with the addition of Robben to their squad, Ribery on one side Robben on the other, this is one of the most frightening partnerships any defense can face in Europe. They will take this game seriously as their embarrasing exit last year is still in their minds. However, Maccabi Haifa have quite a good home record and the weather conditions may be difficult for Bayern players, this is a potential problem.
Leans: Bayern -1 , Over 2.5 goals
Juventus vs Bordeaux
Juventus don't just have Diego missing, Sissoko, Del Piero, Hasan Salihamidzic and Zdenek Grygera are all injured but still Juve are have a very strong squad and this just shows the depth they have now. Bordeax shouldn't be underestimated, they have a strong squad but lack experience at this level and have a poor record in Italy loosing twice to Roma last season. I don't like the short odds for Juventus who are missing so many key first team players and Bordeaux will remember their past disasters in Italy and would be happy with a point here.
Leans: Under 2.5 goals
Wolfsburg vs CSKA
I don't like this game, Wolfsburg are in awful form, lost their past 3 games in a row, their new manager hasn't got the team performing anything like they were past season. CSKA have lost Love, their manager and are in dissaray right now. Two teams in a crisis here, I'd still say Wolfsburg had the edge at home but this is a hard game to read, it could swing anyway.
Leans: No bet so far
Marseille vs Milan
Marseille have started the season well, they are a strong, pyhsical, fast side who are dangerous at home infront of their fanatic home crowd. Ac Milan have been in poor form just like last season however, you can't write off these guys in Europe so easily. Considering their form they won't be comming to play an open game and go outright for the win. A typical Italian take to this game considering Ac Milans form would be to settle for a point and if they do snatch a goal the aim will be to kill off the game.
Leans: Under 2.5
Zurich vs Real Madrid
There is a huge quality difference between these two sides, Real haven't been playing great but have still been scoring goals which is bad news for Zurich. Zurich play in a league that is not so focused on defense, if you look at their games there are alot of high scoring matches. If they struggle to keep clean sheets in their domestic league they could have serious problems tonight. Real want to give a message to Europe that they mean business and would love a convincing win tonight.
Leans: Over 2.5 / 3.5 , Real -1.5
