Manchester United vs Sporting Lisbon
Uefa Champions League, 1945 BST
United are already qualified for the next phase. On Saturday they've lost at Bolton. That was some kind of a shock. I know M.U. will come back to winnig ways tonight, when they face Portuguese opposition.
Sporting need a draw in order to mantain chances for qualification, even though it shouldn't be enough.
United start with Vidic, Ferdinand, Ronaldo, Anderson, Nani and Saha.
I bet 3000 units on M.U., at 1/2.

Steaua 1:0 Dinamo

Steaua vs Dinamo
Romanian Liga I, 1830 BST
This is The Derby in Romania. It's only comparable to Real Madrid - Barcelona.
I bet 10000 units on Dinamo, at 11/5.

Scotland 1:2 Italy

Scotland vs Italy
European Championship Qualifier, 1700 BST
Scotland manager Alex McLeish has a full squad to choose from. The Scots want to go to the
Finals after 12 years without being there. Euro 96 was their last major competition.
Italy have a questionable coach in Donadoni, even though he was a great player. Totti and  
Del Piero are not playing tonight.
Scotland need to win this one in order to qualify. Otherwise the World Champions will go through.
Scotland has beaten France twice, 1-0.
The fans will be very important tonight, for the home side.
I bet 5000 units on Scotland not to lose (1X), at 7/11.

I really enjoy a great percentage (71,13%),
as I managed 202 spot-on tips from 284 proposed.

Portsmouth 0:0 Manchester City

Portsmouth vs Manchester City
English Premiership, 1600 BST
Even though Eriksson has brought his side to 3rd place in the league, I fear for the
away team today. City were thrashed 6-0 by Chelsea on their last travel, and later
today they will be without tireless midfielder Michael Johnson.
Portsmouth are a very good team. They have great fire power in Utaka, Kanu, Benjani,
Muntari, Mendes and Kranjcar.
I bet 3000 units on Pompey to win this one, at evens.

Manchester United 4:0 Dynamo Kyiv

Manchester United vs Dinamo Kiev
Uefa Champions League, 1945 BST
The English teams are throwing all they have at the teams from Eastern Europe.
Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 7-0, while Liverpool managed a 8-0 thrashing of Besiktas
last night. United are playing free-flowing football at the moment. I can't see anything
but a big win tonight for the home side who will be without Paul Scholes. Brazilian
wonderkid Anderson will be filling in the playmaker's role.
Dinamo are without Bielkevich and Shatskikh.
I bet 2000 units on United to win by more than one goal, at 8/11..

Celtic 1:0 Benfica

Celtic vs Benfica
Uefa Champions League, 1945 BST
Celtic are so powerful when playing at home. Even they have lost some momentum
in the domestic championship, they have a good record in Europe.
Two fortnights ago they beat Milan by 2 goals to one.
Last time Benfica went to play Celtic at Glasgow they were thrashed 3-1.
I bet 1000 units on Celtic, at evens.

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.

Levante 1:4 Barcelona

Levante vs Barcelona
Spanish Primera Division, 2100 BST
Levante has managed only a point so far. They are struggling seriously.
The lowly team from Valencia lost on Wednesday 1-4, at Osasuna.
Barcelona, meanwhile, has drawn both of their away games so far, 0-0.
Without Ronaldinho again, but with Puyol in the squad after a few months, 
the Blaugrana will search their first win. Messi is in great form at the
moment.
I bet 4000 units on Barcelona, at 2/5.

Inter 3:0 Sampdoria

Un Estate Italiana

World Cup Italy 1990 Tv Opening

Inter vs Sampdoria
Italian Serie A, 1930 BST
Today is an intermediate matchday in Italy. Inter drew at Livorno  on Sunday,
while Samp drew at home against Genoa. Inter are in great need of points.
The home side has great players like Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Figo and Stankovic.
I bet 7000 units on Inter, at 2/5.

Sevilla 2:3 Espanyol

Sevilla vs Espanyol
Spanish Primera Division, 2000 BST
Espanyol look far less secure in defence than last season, after the departure
of their main keeper, Iraizoz.
Sevilla return to their home stadium, after two defeats, 0-3 at Arsenal and
1-2 at Barcelona. They look very confident at home, and will have no trouble
in beating Espanyol.
I bet 3000 units on Sevilla, at 5/11.

Manchester United 2:0 Chelsea

Jose's departure from Chelsea means we lost the greatest manager in the
world, but for sure we'll mostly miss him as a FRIEND.
Manchester United vs Chelsea
English Premiership, 1600 BST
Chelsea comes to Old Trafford with a joke of a manager. Lampard, Drogba,
Carvalho, Makelele and Ballack will all miss the trip to the north.
Manchester has only one big absentee, Gary Neville, who is not fully fit.
United come on the back of a morale booster win in the Champions League,
in Portugal, 1-0 against Sporting.
I bet 8000 units on Manchester United to win this one, at 6/5.

Barcelona 2:1 Sevilla

Barcelona vs Sevilla
Spanish Primera Division, 2100 BST
After a tense week between Rijkaard and Ronaldinho, the Brazilian was left
out of the squad for the tie against Sevilla. The other big absentee for Barca
will be Eto'o. That means the young stars Giovani and Messi will have to
wrap it up for the home side tonight. Alongside them will be Thierry Henry.
Sevilla will be without Navarro, in a stadium where they haven't got a good
record. The Andalusians lost at Arsenal, 0-3, on Wednesday, in the
Champions League.
I bet 3000 units on Barca to win tonight, at 4/5.

Dinamo 1:2 Elfsborg

Dinamo vs Elfsborg
UEFA Cup, 1830 BST
The biggest advantages for Dinamo are the superior quality of the players
we have and the new coach, Walter Zenga.
I bet 10000 units on Dinamo, at 2/5.

Roma 2:0 Dinamo Kiev

Roma vs Dinamo Kiev
Champions League, 1945 BST
Dinamo Kiev have a great pedigree in this competition.
Roma are the leaders in Serie A. They have maximum points, haven't
conceded a goal and have no fresh injuries for this tie.
I bet 6000 units on AS Roma, at 2/5.

Real Madrid 2:1 Werder Bremen
Olympiakos 1:1 Lazio

Olympiakos vs Lazio
Champions League, 1945 BST
The Greek side will play only their second competitive match of the season.
Another minus will be that their arena is suspended for this game, and there
won't be fans involved. They still have some experience at this level.
Lazio are a very good away team. Watch for Pandev, Rocchi and Del Nero.
I bet 2000 units on Lazio not to lose in Athens, at 1/2.

Real Madrid vs Werder Bremen
Champions League, 1945 BST
The Germans are a bit confused at the moment. They lost top goalscorer Klose
in the summer, as he went to FC Bayern. On Friday, they were thumped by
Dortmund 3-0 in the Bundesliga. Diego is their main man.
Real are coasting in the Primera Division. They have three wins from three
matches played, having scored 10 goals and conceding just 2. Bernd Schuster
has changed los Merengues style to a offensive one.
Sneijder, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy are always big threats for any defence.
I bet 10000 units on Real Madrid to win, at 2/5.

My work boasts a wonderful 70.61% tipping percentage.
I have managed 185 corect predictions from a total of

Sevilla 4:1 Recreativo

Fiorentina 2:2 Atalanta

Sevilla vs Recreativo Huelva
Spanish Primera Division, 1800 BST
Recreativo Huelva are missing some strikers, especially Sinama Pongolle.
Sevilla will have new recruit Arouna Kone in their squad for tonight.
I bet 6000 units on Sevilla to win, at 2/5.

Fiorentina vs Atalanta
Italian Serie A, 1400 BST
Mutu and Co will win today. Viola are great on home turf.
Atalanta are inconsistent for now.
I bet 5000 units on Fiorentina, at 1/2.

Italy 0:0 France

Belarus 1:3 Romania

Belarus vs Romania
Euro 2008 Qualifiers
Romania will win tonight and will stay top of the group.
Marica will miss out on this one, but Chivu and Mutu are out there to prove
their worth and ensure the Romanians qualify for the finals.
I bet 8000 units on Romania to edge this one, at 1/2.

Italy vs France
Euro 2008 Qualifiers
France are just to powerful for this Italian side. Donadoni is not a coach who
deserves to be in charge of such an important team. The players to watch will
be Henry and Ribery, from the French side.
I bet 5000 units on France not to lose in Milan tonight, at 3/5.

Barcelona 3:1 Bilbao

HSV 1:1 Bayern
Dacia 1:0 "U"

Vaslui 2:0 Otelul

Ajax 2:2 Groningen
Urziceni 1:0 steaua

Unirea Urziceni vs steaua bucuresti

steaua are without petre marin, radoi and goian.
Unirea are at full strength.
I bet 2000 units on Unirea not to lose, at 3/4.

HSV vs Bayern
German Bundesliga
Hamburg are without Demel and Kompany.
Bayern are so powerful. They have Ribery, Ze Roberto, TOni and Klose.
Bayern to win, at 9/10 (5000 units).

Dacia Mioveni vs "U" Cluj-Napoca
Romanian Liga I
"U" won last year 3-0 at Mioveni. The teams have changed a lot.
"U" will managed their first win today in the First Division, after 8 years.
I bet on "U" not to lose, at 3/5(10000 units).

Vaslui vs Otelul
Romanian Liga I
Vaslui are first in the league.
Otelul are woeful away. They miss their most valuable striker, Daniel Stan.
Vaslui to win, at 7/10 (3000 units).

Barcelona vs Bilbao
Spanish Primera Division
Barcelona to win, at 1/5 (8000 units).

Ajax vs Groningen
Dutch Eredivisie
Ajax to destroy Groningen.
I bet 5000 units on Ajax, at 1/3.

Liverpool 4:0 Toulouse

Liverpool vs Toulouse
Uefa Champions League Qualifier
In the first leg it was 1-0 for Liverpool, which are comfortable in advantage
to qualify for the group stage.
With their passionate fans behind them at the Merseyside, Liverpool will
win tonight. The home side is very powerful at home.
I bet 5000 units on Liverpool, at 1/3.

gloria buzau 1:2 cfr

gloria buzau vs cfr
Romanian Liga I
gloria is a very weak team just promoted from the second division.
cfr is a team that looks for the first places in Romania. Their coach, Ioan
Andone is a very experienced one. They drew 0-0 at home with steaua,
last time around. The bosses were very unhappy with that.
Now the guests have to bounce right back. 
I bet 8000 units on cfr. at 7/11.

cfr 0:0 steaua

UTA Arad 1:1 "U" Cluj-Napoca

Manchester City 1:0 Manchester United

Manchester City vs Manchester United
English Premiership, 1330 BST
This is a very late tip. It's about a big derby, which is played in front of a
City of Manchester Stadium capacity crowd.
As I have the line-ups in front of me, I can go for the home side to make
a big match here.
United will be without Rooney, Saha, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson, Neville,
Heinze and Solskjaer; with Tevez and Owen Hargreaves in the first 
team, but not at full match fitness. Sir Alex Ferguson's troops only managed
two draws from two matches so far, at home vs Reading and at Portsmouth.
Manchester City has a very successful boss, Sven Goran Eriksson. He
enjoyed his start of the season, claiming six points from 2 wins: 2-0 at
West Ham and 1-0 at home vs Derby County. City have a very promissing
young squad. Their roster is full of quality also, as some important players
will face United today. The likes of Micah Richards, Martin Petrov, Elano
and Bojinov will start, as Italian striker Bianchi and Belgium international
Mpenza are ready to come on when asked upon.
I bet 1000 units on Manchester City to claim at least a point here, at 4/5.

Bremen - FC Bayern 0 - 4

UTA Arad vs "U" Cluj-Napoca
Romanian Liga I, 1500 BST
UTA are a good team at home, but they have a rather fringe start of the
season. Even though they managed to collect four points from three outings
their game is not consistent. Miu and Hora are out for the home team.
"U" had a bad start of season in terms of points, only one from the draw
with Pandurii. But all the teams they met are very powerful. In all three
games they were very close to winning, but the lack of cohesion and
experience played a big part. "U" will bring the game to Arad and create
big pressure. The coach is able to pick from a full roster.
I bet 2000 units on "U" to gain at least a point (double chance - X2), at 6/5.


cfr vs steaua
Romanian Liga I, 1830 BST
Both teams played woeful in midweek in the European competitions.
cfr lost 1-3 at home to Anorthosis Famagusta, while steaua drew 1-1 at
Bate Borisov.
steaua has lots more experience and quality through-out their squad 
to lose this kind of match, which is considered a derby from the hosts.
I bet 5000 units on steaua not to lose (double chance - X2), at 2/5.

Werder Bremen 0:4 Bayern Munich

My stats read a glorious 70.33% prediction success.
That's 173 right tips from 246 given.

Werder Bremen vs Bayern Munich
German Bundesliga, 1430 BST
Bayern are high on confidence after their first day win at home against
Hansa Rostock, 3-0. The Bavarians are coming to the Wesserstadion,
a place where they have a poor record, determined to claim all three 
points. While Marcell Jansen is absent, Ribery, Ze Roberto, Toni and 
Klose will be on the pitch to win this. Miro Klose is out to score his 100th
Bundesliga goal on the very pitch he had the most success. He moved
from Werder to Bayern in the summer transfer window.
Werder had a false start of the Bundesliga, drawing 2-2 at lowly Bochum.
In midweek they've played a preliminary round first leg against Dinamo
Zagreb which the won 2-1. Even though captain Baumann will be back in
the line-up, a lot of first team players will miss today: Frings, Borowski,
Hunt, Owomoyela, Klasnic, while there are still a few more names which
can be mentioned here. Still, Werder will have some fitness problems as
they played on Wednesday also.
I bet 6000 units on the Hollywood (Bayern), at 11/10.

Unirea Urziceni 4:1 Poli Timisoara

Unirea Urziceni vs Poli Timisoara
Romanian Liga I, 1600 BST
Unirea has just four points from three matches so far, while Poli has seven,
and are also invincible at the moment. In their only game at home Unirea
was trailing 0-2 at the break against "U" Cluj and managed to win 3-2, in
the dying minutes of that game. Poli has managed a swell 2-2 draw in their
only away game, at cfr. Ganea will be missing for the guests.
I think the home side is very leaky at the moment.
I bet 5000 for Poli not to lose (double chance X2), at 2/5.

Chelsea 3:2 Birmingham

Chelsea vs Birmingham
English Premiership, 1330 BST
This is the first day of the new season. Chelsea play at home against
new-promoted Birmingham. Chelsea will be without Terry, Ballack
and Bridge. Drogba should feature for some minutes.
I bet 10000 units on Chelsea, at 1/4.

Poli Timisoara 3:1 Pandurii

Poli Timisoara vs Pandurii
Romanian Liga I, 1645 BST
Both teams have enjoyed good starts of their respective campains in the
league, with four points on their tally.
Poli has a good coach and a few quality players. Pandurii doesn't have the
attacking power to pose a threat tonight.
I bet 5000 units on Poli to win, at 1/2.

CHELSEA 1:1p Manchester United

(with BIG absentees: Drogba, Terry,
Ballack, Shevchenko,Robben, Makelele)

Chelsea vs Manchester United
English Community Shield, Wembley Stadium
Manchester come into this one after losing on Wednesday to Inter, 2-3,
at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will be without Gary Neville, Saha,
Solskjaer through injuries, but also without newcomers Nani, Anderson
and Owen Hargreaves.
Chelsea will be without Ballack, Bridge and Robben. Malouda will play
his first competitive match for the Blues. Mourinho is the greatest
manager of our times.
I bet 10000 units on Chelsea to win this one, at evens.

gloria buzau 1:2 DINAMO

Gloria Buzau vs Dinamo Bucuresti
Romanian Liga 1, 1700 BST
Gloria is a team very much under the influence of Steaua, Dinamo's arch
rivals. But I am sure they are to weak at the moment to put up a
resistance against the champions.
Dinamo are in pursuit of the second title in a row, which will giv'em
direct qualification to the Uefa Champions League.
I bet 10000 units on Dinamo, at 2/5.

Dinamo 0:0p Rapid

Dinamo Bucuresti vs Rapid Bucuresti
Romanian SuperCup
Rapid has lost three important players during the summer plus their coach,
Razvan Lucescu.
Dinamo are the champions in Romania. They've strengthened their team
with some very important signings, like Zicu or Bratu.
I bet fiftythousand units on Dinamo to win the SuperCup, at 9/10.

Gloria 2:1 Atletico

Gloria Bistrita vs Atletico Madrid
Intertoto Cup, Final
The team who wins this one will go to the Uefa Cup.
It'll be a financial disaster for the Spaniards if they lost here.
I bet 8000 units on Atletico Madrid, at 7/10.

Argentina 3-0 Mexico

Argentina 3:0 Mexico

Argentina vs Mexico
Copa America, Semifinals
Mexico are a good team. Their coach is Hugo Sanchez who played for
Real Madrid. They managed to stun Brazil in the first outing of this 
competition. Nery Castillo is a pacey striker while Marquez is a solid
defender. Mexico conceded just one goal so far, from Ecuador.
But, I think Argentina is the best team at the Copa America.
They've won every match so far, scoring thirteen times.
With players like Riquelme, Messi and Tevez you just expect
the Argentines to score so many times.
I bet 8000 units on Argentina to qualify for the final, at 7/10.

Brazil p2:2 Uruguay

Eintracht Frankfurt 1:3 DINAMO

Brazil vs Uruguay
Copa America, Semifinals
This competition has gone crazy. In the 4 matches from the quarterfinal
stage there have been 22 goals, 5.5 per game.
Brazil and Uruguay are two of the most coveted footballing nations. They 
are both multiple world champions.
While Uruguay has beaten Venezuela 4-1, Brazil has defeated Chile 6-1.
As oposed to Uruguay's Recoba and Forlan, Brazil has lots of talent to
choose from: Robinho, Julio Baptista, Fred, Vagner Love or even Jo.
I bet 5000 units on Brazil to get to the final, at 7/10.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Dinamo Bucuresti
Friendly
Eintracht players have just finished their holiday. They are preparing for
the next Bundesliga season.
Dinamo, meanwhile has to prepare for the last qualifying round of the Uefa
Champions League. There is a lot of quality added this summer to the
team that dominated last season in Romania, as Bratu, Zicu, Oprita,
Nastase and Stoican were bought. There's also a young man to watch,
Chiacu. He came from Wisla Cracow.
I bet 7000 units on Dinamo, at 3/2.

My prediction rate has reached a tremendous 70.76% (167/236).

Argentina 4:0 Peru

Argentina vs Peru
Copa America, Quarterfinal stage 
Peru have some good players, like Jefferson Farfan (PSV) and Claudio 
Pizarro (Chelsea). They defeated Uruguay 3-0, lost to Venezuela 0-2 
and drew with Bolivia 2-2.
Argentina are the favourites to win Copa America. Crespo is the only
absentee, as he injured himself.
Argentina won all three matches in this competition so far.
I bet 10000 units on The Pumas to win, at 1/3.

Brazil 3:0 Chile

Brazil vs Chile
Copa America, Group B
Brazil to win tonight. They simply need it, if they want to avoid embarrassement.
8000 units, at 2/5.
