Trabzon-Gaziantep
Handicap 0:1 @ 2.15 bwin
4-1 FT
The Trabzon team lost the coveted fourth place on the table after being beaten by Medical Park Antalyaspor 2-1 last week. On the other hand, Gaziantepspor is pursuing another goal: to distance itself from the relegation zone. Despite the Gaziantep team's current standing, Trabzonspor coach Şenol Güneş has asked his players to take their opponent seriously. Stating that Gaziantepspor's powers are not proportional to their current place in the league, Güneş reportedly reminded his players not to underestimate them. Trabzonspor defeated Gaziantepspor away 1-0 in the first half of the season.
Trabzonspor will rely on goal machine Burak Yılmaz in the Gaziantepspor match. Burak is the player who has scored the most goals so far this season in the Spor Toto Super League: 25. Along with the league thrillers, the club is also busy with talks about transferring the 26-year-old forward, who is reportedly on the radar of Dutch powerhouse Ajax and Spanish giant Atletico Madrid. Odds favor Trabzonspor ahead of their Gaziantepspor game. The Trabzonspor Storm has won its last five domestic league games in front of the home crowd and scored 16 goals, while conceding only four. Thursday's match will be the 52nd pitting Trabzonspor and Gaziantepspor against each other. Of these matches, the Trabzon Storm had 27 victories and Gaziantepspor had 10. Fourteen matches ended in a draw.

RED CARD CELTIC !
Defender Majstorovic and new Polish striker Brozek, both came on as substitutes during Wednesday's emphatic 4-0 win at Hearts, and will now look to feature from the start this weekend. However, boss Neil Lennon could be tempted to stick with an unchanged starting XI given that the Hoops followed up their Scottish Cup win at Inverness with that victory at Tynecastle.
Meanwhile, January signing Mikael Lustig, who has been suffering from a left hip strain, will return to training next week.
Long-term absentees, Mo Bangura and Beram Kayal, are both making good progress after their recent operations.
Nigerian midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim is in the squad for Saturday after his work permit came through, but defender Thomas Rogne is a doubt with a calf injury.
Inverness's squad is set to be unchanged, with Steve Williams back in training but unlikly to play on the back of a knee injury.
Billy McKay and Owain Tudur Jones are also just short of a comeback, and Caley are definitely without Aaron Doran (hamstring), Roman Golobart (ankle), Chris Hogg (knee) and Andrew Shinnie (foot).
Celtic (from): Forster, Cha, Matthews, Rogne, Majstorovic, Kelvin Wilson, Rogne, Izaguirre, Mulgrew, Brown, Ki, Ibrahim, Ledley, Wanyama, Forrest, Commons, Stokes, Hooper, Samaras, Zaluska, Brozek, McGeouch.
Inverness CT (from): Esson, Piermayr, Tokely, Gillet, Proctor, Meekings, Hayes, Tansey, Foran, Tade, G Shinnie, Ross, Morrison, Sutherland, Winnall, Gnakpa, Tuffey, Williams.

Steven Naismith, Kyle Lafferty, Steven Whittaker and Jamie Ness remain on the sidelines.

Exeter-Sheff.Wed.
Sheff.Wed. @ 2.00 bwin
2-1 FT
'' WEDNESDAY won't have happy memories of Exeter's St James Park stadium after last season's 5-1 drubbing, but things are much different this season with the Owls pushing for promotion and City looking to avoid the drop.
The Grecians have won just once in their last ten matches and haven't scored in their last four - something that's left them just two points above the bottom four having played a game more than most of their rivals.
Victory will be crucial, therefore, for the hosts. But Wednesday need points for very different reasons - to cement their spot in the top-two, and boss Gary Megson will be looking for nothing less than victory.
The Grecians are desperate for points after picking up just one win in their last ten matches. Their form has seen them drop down the table towards the relegation zone and results will need to improve if they're to stay up.
Liam Sercombe is expected to be back and available for Paul Tisdale's men after suffering an ankle injury and Exeter have no other injury concerns going into the match.
Wednesday boss Gary Megson is expected to ring the changes from the side that bowed out of the FA Cup against Blackpool in midweek.
The Owls boss rested a number of key players for that contest, including strikers Gary Madine and Chris O'Grady and midfielder Jose Semedo, and all are set for a return at Exeter.
Skipper Rob Jones started and came through unscathed, although defender Miguel Llera, who's impressed Megson in recent games, will be available after being cup-tied in midweek.
Other players ineligible to feature in the FA Cup were winger Mike Jones and loanee John Bostock. Both are set to return to the squad, with Bostock expected to get a starting role.
Defender Reda Johnson will be missing through suspension - he'll miss two games after collecting his tenth booking of the campaign in midweek - and Julian Bennett is set to step-in at left-back.

Nelson Augusto Tomar has only played a competitive game this season in Cup, but it seems like it could go as a starter tonight.
Atletico striker still has many challenges to overcome in the league. Starting with that is presented tonight. Betis is one of the few First Division teams that still has not managed to score a goal. Neither at home nor at home. One problem that Llorente hopes to remedy today showing off the voracity with which he faced his final commitments, such as the indomitable front has passed mercilessly defenses Mallorca (one goal), Levante (a), Real Madrid (a), Ray (three), Mirandés (four) and Espanyol (a).
And is that the bar continues to rise rojiblanco week after week. Once the qualification for the Europa League after getting into the Cup final against Barca, the objective of the locals in the league is left in the top four to qualify for the Champions League. The Lions game promises accompanying the results. The Bilbao already thinking big in all competitions in which they are immersed.

the relegation zone.

CF Valencia - Sporting Gijon
Handicap 0:1 @ 2.00 BWIN
Valencia striker Roberto Soldado has recovered from the flu that sidelined him from Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-final defeat at the hands of Barcelona and could start against Sporting Gijon.
The star forward's return means that Los Che coach Unai Emery has almost a full squad to choose from, with only long-term absentees Hedwiges Maduro and Sergio Canales still out.
The Basque will have to re-jig his defence, however, with Victor Ruiz serving a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards.
Sporting Gijon coach Inaki Tejada, who is taking charge of only his second game at the club after replacing Manuel Preciado at the helm, is hoping that several of his flu-hit players will be able to leave their sickbeds to make the trip to Valencia.
Adrian Colunga and Alberto Botia are both struggling, while Nacho Cases and Ivan Hernandez are definitely out.
Sporting were pretty close to victory a week ago, but they didn’t show enough insistence against Osasuna.. The bottom side have very poor defending and the counters by Carmelo and De las Cuevas wouldn’t be so effective at Mestalla. With four matches in a row without a win Valencia should put a lot of efforts to achieve it.

Nice-PSG
PSG away win @ 1.83 bwin
0-0 FT
The prospect of a first Ligue 1 title since 1994 for the club from the capital seemingly grows more likely by the week. While last weekend's 3-1 defeat of Evian TG FC may not have been as convincing as the scoreline suggests, it still marked a third successive league win under Carlo Ancelotti's tenure and a sixth consecutive victory in all competitions.
"It's a good result as it was a difficult game. Evian played well and often had possession. We had some problems in getting the ball back, but it was important to win. Our first half was good, but we couldn't find any solutions in attack," said Ancelotti, who saw Nenê score twice and Kévin Gameiro - for the first time since Week 17 - also find the net after Cédric Cambon had given the visitors a surprise half-time lead at the Parc des Princes.
PSG have the best defensive record in Ligue 1 and only Montpellier can boast greater prowess in front of goal. They do, however, need to improve on their record at the Stade du Ray where last season's 3-0 win on the south coast ended a run of five defeats in as many visits.
"It's a perillous trip," said PSG midfielder Mathieu Bodmer, who has surprisingly emerged as a key component in Ancelotti's plans. "Nice need points, as do we in terms of the Ligue 1 title. We're going down there to take three points. We're going to be focused, highly-motivated, and will go out onto the pitch with the aim of playing better than we did against Evian, but it's the result which counts."
PSG have managed to achieve results on their travels this season, and boast the best away record in Ligue 1. By contrast, just six teams have picked up fewer points at home than Nice this season, and Rene Marsiglia's men only halted a four-game run of league defeats with a 1-1 draw at AC Ajaccio last weekend. The result lifted Nice off the bottom of the table, and raised spirits in the camp.
"We came back from nowhere in this match, especially after our first-half display, which was the worst of the season," said Marsiglia, whose team were beaten 2-1 in Paris earlier this season while Eric Roy was still at the helm.
Marsiglia should have striker Eric Mouloungui available after he returned from Africa Cup of Nations duty with Gabon but Mali midfielder Drissa Diakité is not yet back from the competition. Injury means former PSG men David Hellebuyck and Didier Digard will not face their now very much re-modelled ex-club.
Nemanja Pejcinovic and Xavier Pentecote remain injured, while David Hellebuyck will not be risked because of knee trouble. On the other hand, Didier Digard has trained well over the last two days and could be brought in from the outset after missing several weeks.
Nice: Ospina; Clerc, K Gomis, Civelli; Monzón; Digard (c); Dja Djédjé, Abriel, Anin, Mounier; Mouloungui
Paris Saint-Germain: Sirigu; Bisevac, Alex (or Lugano), Sakho (c), Maxwell; Sissoko, Motta, Bodmer; Ménez, Nenê; Gameiro
Alex (defender from Chelesea) could make his debut for Paris Saint-Germain at Nice.

Lille-Bordeaux
Lille home win @1.65 bwin
4-5 FT
Rudi Garcia's side began the season with two trophies in their possession and four tournaments to attack, but having been eliminated from three cup competitions in the last two months, their objectives have narrowed sharply.
"Now, it's simple: we have to put all our effort into the championship – starting with the visit of Bordeaux on Sunday, which is a very important match," said Garcia.
"We have to defend third place in the league and we'll give all we've got not to let the teams in front get away from us.''
"The players are intelligent and we all want to hold on to third place. We'll do everything to avoid falling behind the teams in front."
Complicating Lille's situation is the fact they find themselves embroiled in a five-way battle for only three Champions League places alongside PSG, Montpellier, Lyon and a resurgent Marseille.
Bordeaux boss Francis Gillot has identified February as a key month in his side's season as they prepare to face three of Ligue 1's top four sides over the next three weekends. Sunday's match against Lille is the start of a run of February fixtures which also sees them face Lyon and Montpellier, matches which Gillot knows will be crucial if his side are to improve their lot.
"There's a lot still to be done from our point of view. We're more effective in our play but we're still lacking those two or three exceptional players that can make the difference at any given moment," Gillot explained of his squad that has seen the likes of Yoann Gourcuff, Marouane Chamakh, Wendel and Fernando leave in recent seasons. "Look at all the sides in Europe. If they don't have their best players then they're always in trouble. That's what we've been lacking, but not because of injury.
"The club made an effort in signing two players in the winter transfer window: Mariano and Ludovic Obraniak. That's not bad, but it's not enough to hope to challenge the five leading clubs. We'll need to carry on along those lines in June and in transfer windows after that."
Lille: Landreau; Debuchy, Rozehnal, Chedjou, Béria; Balmont, Mavuba (c), Pedretti; Cole (or Payet), Roux, Hazard
Bordeaux: Carrasso; Mariano, Henrique, Planus, Ciani, Trémoulinas; Plasil (c), N'Guemo, Obraniak; Maurice-Belay, Jussiê (or Gouffran)
