UEFA Champions League Group Stages Predictions & Tips

2nd November 2010

European week again. I am in a hurry so let's just jump straight in.

Tottenham vs Inter Milan
Last time around, I predicted Tottenham for an upset. Unfortunately they went 3 goals and 1 man down very early, but put on a strong fight to come back to 4:3. This time, at home, they have a strong chance of beating Inter Milan. For a safer bet, go for Tottenham (0) on Asian handicap.

Bursaspor vs Manchester United
I still don't know who Bursaspor is, but like I predicted last time, Man Utd did score a quick early goal. Coming off some good but tough results, Man Utd are back to their winning ways. They need to secure a place in the Champions League and soon. I expect Man Utd to come out firing again.

CFR Cluj vs Bayern Munich
Bayern is doing well lately and against Cluj even though away, they should win comfortably. Bayern's away form isn't great, but they have won 4 of the last 5 games they have played. Last time around, Bayern scraped through for a 3-2 win at home, but I think they will be better this time round.

Shaktar Donetsk vs Arsenal
The odds for Arsenal to win are surprisingly long. Yes Arsenal has had a pretty tough couple of weeks, playing 2 games a week and mostly with their first 11. But last time round, Arsenal won 5:1 remember? Maybe Shaktar's home form is great, but that is the Ukrainian league, not EPL. I expect Arsenal to be too strong for the home side.

Good luck!
