Universitatea Craiova 2:1 Poli Timisoara

Universitatea Craiova vs Poli Timisoara
Romanian Liga I, 1845 BST
Craiova have a bad coach. Poli has proven against Dinamo that they can
challenge for the title. They've beaten Craiova away last 2 times around.
I bet 2000 units on the away team, at 5/4.

Portsmouth 0:0 West Ham

Otelul Galati 2:1 Universitatea Craiova

Otelul Galati vs Universitatea Craiova
Romanian Liga I, 1200 BST
Otelul are a great team at home. They get all their points there. The coach
hasn't got any injuries to cope with.
Craiova are having so much trouble. They've appointed a new coach, Nicolo Napoli.
I expect a one-way match and I just feel that the away team will be destroyed today.
I bet 4000 units on Otelul, at 3/5.

Portsmouth vs West Ham
English Premiership, 1715 BST
Portsmouth have a strong squad. They come from 2 wins away, both 2-0, at
Fulham and Wigan respectively. I knew Pompey not that good away. But at
Fratton Park they are just pushing forward all the time. Davis, Hughes and Kanu
are out for the home side.
West Ham has to cope with a lot of injuries, as Ljungberg, Ashton, Zamora,
Davenport and some others are out with injuries.
I do think tonight will be all about Portsmouth.
I bet 3000 units on Portsmouth, at 4/5.

Rangers 0:0 Barcelona

Glasgow Rangers vs Barcelona CF
Uefa Champions League, 1945 BST
The crowd at Ibrox will be throwing all at the Spaniards and push the Scots
from behind. Rangers didn't lose at home in Europe in the last three years.
They stood strong in front of supergiants, like AC Milan, Internazionale or
Villarreal. Rangers thrashed Celtic on Saturday 3-0 in the Old Firm Derby.
Barcelona comes into this one without some important personel like:
Yaya Toure, Rafa Marquez, Eto'o, Zambrotta and Deco, to name just the
most important ones. They've lost 1-3 at the weekend against Villarreal.
I bet 1000 units on Glasgow Rangers to withstand tonight and not lose, at 6/5.

Pandurii 0:1 Dinamo Bucuresti

Pandurii vs Dinamo Bucuresti
Romanian Liga I, 1300 BST
Pandurii has some injury woes to deal with today.
Walter Zenga's Dinamo is at full strength, though.
I bet 3000 units on Dinamo to win this, at 7/10.

Poli Timisoara 4:1 Otelul Galati

Wigan 0:2 Portsmouth

Poli Timisoara vs Otelul Galati
Romanian Liga I, 1600 BST
Otelul are so poor when away from home. They have lost 5 out of 5.
Last time around they were routed 6-1 by Dinamo Bucuresti.
Poli are good at home, having won 4 and drawn once.
I bet 3000 on the home side to clinch this one, at 1/2.

Wigan vs Portsmouth
English Premier League, 1500 BST
Wigan are in a bad vein of form, as they lost 3 in a row. They will be without
long-term injury casualty Emile Heskey.
Portsmouth have a big depth in their squad and also much quality.
Sol Campbell is a doubt for manager Harry Redknapp.
Watch for John Utaka and Benjani.
I bet 2000 on Pompey today, at 3/2.

U Craiova 1:1 "U" Cluj-Napoca

Universitatea Craiova vs "U" Cluj-Napoca
Romanian Liga 1, 1700 BST
These are two of the worst placed teams in the league. The visitors are last
in the league, with no win yet. Craiova has some big absentees, as captain
and goalkeeper Bornescu is suspended, while Andrei Ionescu and Wobay
are injured, and tired respectively.
"U" has a new coach, who can pick from almost a full squad, as only Goga is
out suspended.
I bet on "U" Cluj-Napoca not to lose (X2), at 6/5.

Elfsborg 0:1 Dinamo

Elfsborg vs Dinamo
Uefa Cup 1st round 2nd leg, 1800 BST
Elfsborg are in a bad form right now, but they did manage a win in Bucharest,
2-1. Dinamo is in good form at the moment. Walter Zenga managed to turn
things around at the club and everybody is confident the team will qualify.
The ground is an artificial one in Boras. Dinamo palyers aren't used to that.
I bet 5000 units on Dinamo not to lose (X2), at 1/2.

Steaua 0:1 Arsenal

Steaua vs Arsenal
Uefa Champions League, 1945 BST
Steaua has a lot of injuries before this one. Radoi, Ghionea, Goian, Plesan
and Golanski are all out. Another big setdown for the home side is that
the stadium will not be full, an unusual thing for the Champions League.
Last season, Steaua lost at home 0-3 against Lyon and 1-4 against Real
Madrid.
Arsenal are top of the Premier League and has thrashed Sevilla 3-0 in the
opening game of the group.
I bet 9000 units on Arsenal, at 7/10.
