Bukomir's Predictions
Champions League
29 September, 09
Fiorentina v Liverpool
ko 19:45 BST
It smells like a draw from miles this one! Both teams are coming after a successful weekend in their domestic leagues and will bring their best in this Champions League game to ensure the good mood continues. Liverpool have a momentum of scoring goals and Torres looks back in shape pretty much. The problem is that Fiorentina, specially at home, are able to close the game so well and wait for their chance as long as needed. The team is solid in defense and has a couple of players up front who are capable of scoring from everywhere. Pool are not the same team as was last year and it will be too brave of a man to back them blindly on the road in Europe, specially when visiting an Italian team. However draw looks likely enough to put your money down on such a bet - I expect a close game, no more than 2 goals and just can not see how these two will find a one way exit.
Bet selection:
I will take the draw here for a massive reward of 3.50 offered by bet365 this morning.
Arsenal v Olympiakos
ko 19:45 BST
I expect Mellberg to be more than happy after this one and the reason shouldn't be the "happy memories" only. Call me mad but I will search for an Under 2.5 Goals here which looks like a suicide bet on Arsenal game this season. However Olympiakos is in my short list of teams which are always ready to produce an Under in Europe, specially on the road. The squad looks perfectly gelled for that phase of the tournament and performs on a very high level at the back. They have actually conceded just two goals in ten games and bookies should be punished for ignoring the fact and building their odds only around Arsenal attacking power. Arsenal were so happy in their last outing in Champions League and over used some luck in the Premier League also - it is time for us to see that this team is again very close to be crowned but still lacks quality and experience enough. I will take the Under option here and expect not a bad night for the visitors.Bet selection:
Tasty, tasty 2.30 offered by bet365 for Under 2.5 Goals here.
