Today is a very important day to decide the fate of the Champions League groups. It's the fifth day and the rankings of the various groups are almost already outlined, who is wrong tonight is probably out. Today the groups E, F, G, and H will play. But let's see what matches are waiting for us tonight:
Group E
They will face Bayern vs Benfica and AEK vs Ajak; Bayern came from a period of crisis of results in Germany, in fact, the rivals of Dortmund have escaped to +9, Benfica has only one result available to continue to dream in the qualification to the next stage. However, Bayern seems to exalt itself in Europe and very rarely cue, it seems very unlikely that Benfica will return home with a win tonight. The other game is to be kept under observation, the AEK could hide some hidden pitfalls in those 0 points in the standings: in the two internal matches they lost but always fought against Benfica (2-3) and until Bayern (final score 0-2) did not he succeeded in unblocking the result he fought also in that match and they put in difficulty also the German champions. Ajax is alerted.
Group F
This group is quite interesting. When it was drawn, it seemed that Manchester City was guaranteed the first place and that the other three had to fight until the end. So it was, at least until today. Today is the decisive day. Guardiola's boys go to France to face the only team able to put them the sticks between the wheel so far, the Lyon. City revenge or confirmation of the French? Surely a nice match to watch. In the other game, we will see a very physical match between two teams that tend to struggle a lot. The surprise Hoffenheim, who comes from a double draw with Lyon, the last reassembling in France a 2-0 with one man less, have the last chance to approach the Lyon. Will they do it or will Shaktar prevent it?
Group G
The Group G seems already defined, hardly Roma and Real Madrid will give any chance to qualify for CSKA which should coincide with two unlikely victories by the Russians. Russians who are expected by Victoria Plzen, able to catch a draw in the first game of this UCL, before being swamped with goals from Real and Roma. The game that, instead, sees facing Italians vs Spanish is, in my opinion, the most unpredictable of the whole journey. Both teams are unable to give continuity to the results, Roma alternates top club performance with disappointing performances against weaker teams. Real Madrid does not find peace from the farewell of Zidane and CR7: other fundamental pawns like Modric and Isco seem to be about to leave and there is a crisis of results that has already led to a change of coach. However, both will want to look good and I expect a match full of goals.
Group H
This group became fought and interesting on the last day. Manchester United, who was deservedly losing against Juventus, was invented two goals and managed to come-back and win in the Italian stadium, a difficult and rare undertaking for anyone. Ronaldo will have to lead his team to a victory because a defeat would put them in the situation of having to play on a unique result on the last day: the victory. Valencia is forced to win, but Juve is hard to beat, we will see a very interesting game. The other match sees United face against Young Boys, for Mourinho's men there should be few problems to bring this victory home.
FTB #5
I do not know if you are following my Fu## The Bookmakers series: a series of bets trying to exploit odds and promotions of the various bookmakers. In four days of play we are betting 1% of our bankroll of 1000 euros, then 10 euros per bet, and in a twenty bet, more or less, we are at +131.40 euros. Here the results of the last day of betting. Below our bet of tonight:
Bayern - Benfica 1+GOL@2.75: The odds seem interesting to me, Benfica has only one result available and I expect them to attack, Bayern has proved not very solid in defense and a goal can grant. In the end, I still expect a Bayern victory. My expected results are 2-1, 3-1.
CSKA - Victoria Plzen 1@1.80: For me, this is 1 base. CSKA must-win for the third place, play at home in temperatures that others are not accustomed and difficult to let this victory escape. The odds are high.
Roma - Real Madrid Under3,5 @1.70: As I said before I expect a match full of goals. But why then bets Under 3.5? Because this game can also have another plausible scenario: the teams impact 0-0, 1-1 and do not push to avoid problems each other. The draw would not hurt either of them and the odds for the Under 3.5 team in my opinion are exaggeratedly high.
