Draw Project
Inter Milan-CSKA Moscow +215
Villarreal-Napoli +235
*Inter have nothing to play for as they are guaranteed top spot in the group. CSKA Moscow needs a lot of help to qualify for the KO stages. They need to win and hope Lille & Trabzonspor draw. A draw though could work CSKA into the Europa League as long as Lille or Trabzonspor win outright today. The Russians have drawn both road tilts in the group stages and nearly beat Inter at home in a 3-2 thriller.
*Villarreal has done little to inspire confidence in the Champions Leagur or La Liga, but it's an interesting tie today with Napoli accusing the Spanish side of taking bribes from Manchester City to get the win and insure City passage into the knockout stages. Napoli can get through if City loses or draws today in spite of whatever they do on the road. Napoli have not taken full points in either of their two road matches in this group and have not been the best on the road at all times this season domestically either.
Dinamo Zagreb-Lyon Over 2.5 [-110]
Lyon have only the slightest hope of moving through to the knockout stages, but it all has to start with a win today on the road. It also must include a large margin of victory to overturn goal differential with 2nd place Ajax. Dinamo has surrendered 15 goals in the group stages through four matches with ten coming in the last two matches. Lyon has had issues scoring, but should be bouyed by their best performance [2-0] coming against this squad at home. Dinamo may even add to the tally today as they hit Real Madrid for a couple of goals last time on the road. The goal differential for Lyon to make up today is seven. Sounds massive, but given Real Madrid's ability - even with a B squad - going against Ajax, Lyon will feel if they can comprehensively defeat Dinamo by maybe 3-4 goals that they still might have a long shot chance. Siding with goals over Lyon here as with the French side pushing on the attack, there should be chances for Dinamo to take advantage of any holes that leaves as well.
