Dynamo Kiev – Club Brugge / Half – X
Direct battle between two table conductors. Dynamo Kiev’s first in Ukraine, returning from the winter lag to a 3-1 victory over Olympics, with a three-point advantage over Shekhtar Donetsk when during January and mid-February, Kubhatz held a number of friendly matches. Club Brugge, on the other hand, easily leads the league table in Belgium, with a 13-point advantage and a lackluster game, after 3: 1 in the cup against Antwerp and with ten consecutive victories, when unlike Kiev, it was not on the break. Although Bruges is in good shape, it is coming to Ukraine with a very shortage of staff. Dansuil, Lang, Mitrovic and Wanaken with Corona and will not come with the team, in addition to them, Sobol is suspended and will not play. At Kiev, a full squad for today’s game, except for the injured Timchuk, who is in doubt. Two years ago, the two met in the Champions League, when Bruges won 1: 0 at home and ended in a 3: 3 draw in Ukraine. The Belgians are very dangerous but with their little staff missing, I believe they will only want to return to the rematch, with a good result. My bet, is that even if they lose, it will be on the edge of one goal. A draw in the first half, a line of 1.85 and whoever wants to try Kiev, then the line jumps to 2.25.
The Red Star – Milan – 2
The Red Star leads the Serbian league when it comes to a game today after two consecutive victories. It will host AC Milan today, which led the Italian league until the last round, but an unexpected loss in the specification, lowered it to second place. Before that, Milan had won two games in a row but they are with three losses, in their last five games. Milan have met the red star before, it happened 15 years ago in the Champions League, they defeated it then twice, 1: 0 at home and 2: 1 away in the big days of Inzaghi. The Red Star will miss the injured Katai today, with Milan without Diaz. Judging by the squads of the two, then even though it is an away game, AC Milan are better than the Serbs and should return home, with a victory in their pocket. A line of 1.65 for an Italian victory.
Real Sociedad – Manchester United – 2
Sociedad is ranked fifth in the Spanish league, today will host English English, who lost some height in the Premier League. Sociedad come into the game today after victories against Cadiz and Getafe, after three consecutive draws, when they have not lost in seven consecutive games. United, on the other hand, after three consecutive draws and four in their last five games, have also won once in the last six games, but have lost only once, during their last 11 games. United met Sociedad eight years ago in the Champions League, so they narrowly beat them, 1-0 at home and then ended in a goalless draw in Spain. Sociedad will miss the injured Sola, Senegal, Moya and Fernandez for today’s game, while United will be missing Jones and Pogba. The Frenchman’s disadvantage is significant, but even without him, in my opinion United should return from Spain with a victory, against a Spanish team, not from the top of Europe. 1.85 on it.
Benfica – Arsenal / 2-3 goals
In a fourth outing in Portugal, it will today host Arsenal, which is ranked only in tenth place, in the English Premier League. Benfica after a draw in the league against Morriensa, after two consecutive victories, having lost once in its last seven games. Arsenal on the other hand, after an impressive 4: 2 against Leeds, after two consecutive away losses, with Arsenal going through the season, one of its weakest seasons in recent years. She has lost three of her last four away games while Benfica has not lost in ten consecutive home games, seven of which she has won. Benfica are currently missing the injured Jardel and Almeida, with Arsenal apparently not playing with the injured Obminag with both Tierney and Thomas injured and in doubt. The two met three times at the slave. Apart from a friendly match in which Benfica won 10 years ago, they met twice more in the Emirates Cup, when seven years ago Arsenal won 5: 1 and four years ago, 5: 2. Arsenal get a Blaine advantage over Benfica and it’s not clear to me why. Benfica are an excellent team, especially at home and it is very difficult to trust Arsenal in the current situation. The quartet, which is Netanya Leeds, does not strengthen the trust in this group, which in my opinion will continue to absorb today. Still, this is an arsenal and go know what arsenal they looked like. The bet for this game for me, is between 2-3 goals per game. 1-1 or 2: 1 here or there, looks like a good bet.
