Rapid 3:0 "U" Cluj
Stoke vs Manchester City
English Premier League, 16h00
It has been more than 30 games since City haven't lost when Tevez scored. Mancini also got this team on the right track. The Sky Blues have kept 7 clean sheets this season, second only to Chelsea's eight. Balotelli is back after suspension.
Stoke have got their season back on track after a poor start. They are the worst team if you count only the first half performances, but also the joint first in the second.
I do tip City to win this one, at 6/5.

Rapid vs "U" Cluj-Napoca
Romanian Liga I, 19h30
Rapid is 3rd in the standings but went through a horrible form recently. They did not manage to win in the last 4 games, losing twice in the process. That came after a great start of the season. But that is just common for this side. The match will be played without spectators due to a penalty thrown at the home side.
"U" Cluj will be at full strength tonight and has always played good football against sides from the upper half of the standings, losing just to Steaua in the process. Do expect lots of goals tonight.
I tip "U" Cluj to score anytime during the game, at 7/10.

Real Madrid 2:0 Atletico Madrid
England vs France
International Friendly, 21h00
This will be a clash between two big powers of International football. Still, after a woeful World Cup in which both were dispatched home in the early stages, England and France seek a rebuilding of their respective squads. The Three Lions confide in the same man Capello do to the job, while les Bleus have appointed Laurent Blanc in charge.
Both teams will be full of youngsters which are trying to establish themselves at International level. Carroll and Henderson are the ones to watch for the Brits, while M'Vila and Rami.
I can feel a more determined French side and that said the odds are higher than I think they should be.
So, I back up France not to lose, at 3/5.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
Spanish Primera Division, 21h00
This is the Madrid derby. It is now most important for Atletico, because they are the ones who will try to prove something. Atletico have managed to win away in the Europa League on Thursday which is a big boost of confidence. They will also have Forlan and Aguero up front, which means chances to score.
Real Madrid boast the best defence and attack force in La Liga. Mourinho is the best manager if you ask me and Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer in the world in my opinion. But, :)
I tip Atletico to score anytime tonight, at 4/5.
