European Champions League Predictions (Tuesday)

24th November 2009

Saturday was not a good day for me. The best team in the Arsenal vs Sunderland game, in my opinion, lost. Anyway, lets put it behind us.

Most games on Tuesday are insignificant because we already know which teams will qualify. Some people may be tempted to bet on Liverpool because on paper it looks like an easy win against Debrecen is on the cards. Liverpool needs to win this game, and beat Florentina in their last game and hope that Lyon does the same tonight. Liverpool will not give up without a fight, and for them to be out of contention with a game to spare would be embarassing. However the odds are very short. 1.33@BET365 for Liverpool away win.

The most interesting group is still Group F with each team still have a chance of qualifying and 2 of them are household names of football. Barcelona face Inter Milan is the biggest clash of the week and you would think whoever wins this game will secure qualification. Rubin Kazan has pulled off some remarkable results in the Russian domestic league and also in Champions League as they face the Ukrainian leaders Dynamo Kiev. Both games are too tough to call, but I suspect at least one of them will be a draw.

Arsenal although lost to Sunderland over the weekend, they played well and should have won that game. Sunderland got a lucky bounce and basically only 1 shot on target where they scored. Arsenal will be looking to bounce back and secure qualification as the top team in their group by winning tonight. Expect Theo Walcott to get some game time. Arsenal Home win is at 1.30@BET365 but for longer odds, I feel that Arsenal -1 is still good at 1.90@BET365.

SUMMARY:
Debrecen vs Liverpool : Liverpool Away win
Arsenal vs Standard Liege : Arsenal -1 Home win

Good luck
