Steaua Bucuresti vs Unirea Urziceni
Romanian Liga I, 1830 GMT
Unirea is three points behind Steaua, and two places back. The guests have a very disciplined squad. Dan Petrescu has implemented a style based on a men behind the ball tactics. This block will be very hard to break by Steaua.
Still, I think Steaua has the most skilled players in Romania, and will eventually score. The crowd at Ghencea will be a very important factor in this game, as it'll be a sell-out tonight.
Steaua, of course, is in search of a Champions League place for next season. Lacatus' men could close the gap to leader cfr to six points with a win tonight.
I go for Steaua tonight; with their win priced at 5/11.

Fiorentina vs Genoa
Italian Serie A, 1400 GMT
Genoa is placed in the middle of the table, and has an important player injured for quite a while now, that's Paro. Striker Borriello will be a big threat for Viola today.
Fiorentina comes after they managed to beat Everton on penalties at Goodison Park on Wednesday nights, and went on to qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.
Another very important news will be the return of forwards Santana and most importantly Mutu, after respective injuries. After AC Milan were beaten last night by AS Roma, Fiorentina has a chance to put a 4 point gap back to the Rossoneri come four pm today.
I predict a very tough win for Viola today, priced at 7/11.
