AS Roma vs Fiorentina
Italian Serie A, 1400 GMT
This are two of the hottest teams in Italian football at the moment. Roma has beaten Real Madrid this week, 2-1, in the first leg of the 1st Knockout stage. That was a huge win. But the Giallorossi are back to domestic business now. They'll face fourth placed FIorentina, without Brazilian star Mancini, but also without his fellow countryman centre back Juan. Roma are one point in front of Juve, who lost yesterday at Reggio Calabria.
Fiorentina are in a dogfight for the fourth spot, the last that guarantees qualification
for the Champions League, the highlight for every player.
La Viola do have a 3 point cushion over mighty AC Milan, and will try to extend that or at least
mantain it.
The guests will have to do without young star Gianpaolo Pazzini, but also Santana and Pasqual,
all through injuries. So, Vieri will partner Romanian superstar Adrian Mutu up front.
I predict Fiorentina will come away with something from this match (4/5).
Poli Iasi vs Steaua Bucuresti
Romanian Liga I, 1830 GMT
Steaua are big favourites to win the Romanian championship this season. cfr has an 8 point advantage though, and last season runners-up have to make sure they put the pressure on
them. Steaua made some good additions to their squad in January.
I predict a vital win for Steaua, priced at 3/5.
