Lyon – Man. Utd
Although have good experience at the Champions League, but on this midweek I think Lyon will feel totally pressure because their opponent is the king from Europe elite league Manchester United. Lyon already feel the power from Man. Utd at 04/05 season. The both team play draw at France 2-2 and after that Lyon has beaten by Man. Utd in England 1-2. For me Man. Utd is the great team in all season of Europe football.
If we see the material from both of team, Manchester United has much squad to choice and for home team they still expect the good performance from Juninho. The good value for Lyon, although Man. Utd has a better composition than Lyon, but the Devils style is hate to play defensive. And Man. Utd is very effective to play with this style. And I think if Lyon wants to make a trouble for they opponent this midweek, home team should make The Red Devils to play defensive in France (very impossible I guest, but we would see this Wednesday). With formation 4-3-3 from Lyon, Lyon will play aggressive here. They will use a winger players to make pressure to the sector defense of Man. Utd, and with Juninho at the middle also can make a trouble for Manchester United (often make a great assist from center).
On other side, Man. Utd travel to Lyon home base with very enthusiasm to get point. With the good performance from Cristiano Ronaldo, Lyon should beware for these wingers. Another factor comes from Ronaldo is, he is a very productive wingers players in the football history. On this season Ronaldo already made 27 goals from the 29 matches his play. And also Ferguson has told for media if Ronaldo can make 30 goals this season they will give a big salary for Ronaldo.
Man. Utd has a good playing style with combination from strength, speed, and individual skill. This factor always makes Man. Utd opponent feels the bad situation when clash with them (like Roma on the last season). They key players is Ronaldo, he didn’t as the winger this season. He also has good skill on dribble and made big trouble for enemy back line (and at other side Giggs also give good running and make broke the concentration from the opponent). Man. Utd will play away here, and I think they will use a midfielder player with good defense skill. And for attacking style give for Ronaldo and Giggs from both sides. With Rooney and Tevez as they striker will make the additional seriously problem for Lyon. On the back line, no doubt for Man. Utd because they have Brown and Evra and the side back, and also have Vidic and Ferdinand as center back.
Head to head:
23/11/04 Man. Utd 2-1 Lyon
15/09/04 Lyon 2-2 Man. Utd
I am strongly sure this match will win by Manchester United. No more word I will say, Manchester United has a very good experience and skill players at all line than Lyon. My predicted Manchester United will win with 2 goals margin. The score 3-1 for Devils at the Full Time match.

Celtic - Barcelona
Celtic – Barcelona
The bookies more give a Barcelona as the favorite team to win this fixture although this game will take venue at Celtic Park as Celtic home base. And Celtic has big motivation to make this prediction is wrong. I think Celtic will play offensive to get points good points here, they probably to play with same tactic when their win over Milan 2-1 this season. But the bad news for home team they will be without they good midfielder Scott Brown here because suspended, this will make Donati and Sno being the replacement.
Other side the big team from Spain, Barcelona will try to dominate the ball in the 90 minutes match. But this style always make the Barcelona’s middle sector always lost the ball so far, Deco should play not to hold the ball for a long time here. To fix this problem, Barcelona should play more efficient at Celtic Park, and this will use the speed and skill from Messi, Santos, and Henry. And the log shoot from second line (Xavi and Iniesta) will be great value for Barcelona.
Head to head:
24/11/04 Barcelona 1-1 Celtic
By the way, Boruc as the home team goalkeeper will celebrate his birthday this midweek. And this condition will make him to play highly motivation here (a good value for Celtic I think). And this season Barcelona always feel trouble when clash with the team from Scotland (at the group phase Barcelona has been held by Rangers 0-0 at away).
From this condition, very possible this match will end with no goal score. And I am sure this would be happen again at Celtic Park. No goal score is the best value for me, in this fixture.

Arsenal – AC Milan
This will be The Big Match on the Champions League on this round. Arsenal will play with AC Milan on Emirates Stadium this midweek of February. Arsenal is the favorite team on this fixture, although The Gunners being the favorite one here, they opponents Milan also very optimist to get result in Emirates. May be the football predictor make Arsenal to be favorite team on this match after Ronaldo get injured problem and will absent for this match. But Milan also has the good performance and dangerous players to replaced they machine goal, they still have Pato to be a dangerous player and front line. Arsenal going to this round after they being a runner up at group H. for me The Gunners being a runner up here, after they beaten by Sevilla. This condition because Wenger too quickly using the second eleven when they clash with Slavia on the last match at group stage and make their should play a draw game there. And make Sevilla sit to the top position in their group.
And other side comes from a very experience team on the International competition Milan. Milan only defeated by Celtic on this season (2-1). Play at the Celtic Park, Ancellotti is very happy after Nakamura being as the substitute player there. But what happened at that match, Milan has conceded by McManus, although Kaka make a score and make draw game, but on the last minutes their conceded again with the goal come from Scott McDonald.
My prediction this would be a very difficult game for Milan, from the fact on this season Arsenal only conceded 1 goal in the Champions League competition (when their clash with Steaue Bucuresti / Dorel Zaharia). In the Champions Leagueso far contest only 4 players success make Arsenal conceded, this make by Da Silva (Dinamo Zagreb), Rafael van der Faart (Hamburg), and Alex (PSV). But The Gunners should beware for youngers striker from Milan (Pato). If Milan can win over Arsenal here, this would be a disappointed record and for the first time they beaten at The Emirates Stadium on the CL competition. Before, CSKA and PSV only can play drew with Arsenal at Emirates.
So,if we see from the squad composition from both of team, AC Milan has a little chance to win over Arsenal at Emirates this midweek match. Milan probably will lost point on this match, but they also have to make a score if we see the attacking tactic from Milan with very suddenly striker comes to penalty box and can make maximal target there.
Head to head:
08/02/95 Milan 2-0 Arsenal
01/02/05 Arsenal 0-0 Milan
My prediction, this will be a very interest match to watch. And I think here will be a draw game. Maybe the score is 2-2. I am not sure Milan will lost a point here, because their players has a very good mentality to play in the International games, and they also has Inzaghi (who a striker always make a score at the last minutes match)-

Schalke – Porto
Schalke and Porto very optimist to play on this match. With the good composition from Schalke on the back line. Slomka always rotating the middle players with attacker’s players from his team. But from the last matches at Group phase, Schalke has been play in good running with 4-4-2 formation on the Champions League. Die Knappen will use the service from Ernst at the midfield, and will control the game with Jones from middle side. And from 2 wing back players with always helping from the both side to give the great ball for their striker (beware for a new comer player Ze Roberto). If Schalke using this tactic, will make Schalke as the team to play offensive on the CL this season. For Kevin Kuranyi, I am sure he would be a favorite one to be a striker at the front line. Very possible too, if Schalke use 3 players as the attackers and give chance for Altintop, Asamoah, and Lovenkrands for be the Kuranyi’s partners.
From the guest side, FC Porto comes to Germany with the team always play on the offensive tactic on this competition. They architect Ferreira probably will use 4-4-3 formation here, with great individual skill from his squad in all line. Porto has good squad in the first eleven players, with a good team work from Porto will make a terrible thing for the home team. From the middle Porto have Assuncao as the defensive middle players and 2 another middle players will focus on the attacking. Schalke should beware for Gonzalez (very productive middle player so far). And on the frontline, FC Porto has a very dangerous players like Sektioui, Lisandro and Quaresma.
Head to head:
20/09/76 Schalke 3-2 Porto
08/09/76 Porto 2-2 Schalke
With the plus and minus values from both of team, for this match. My prediction, this would be another draw game on the Champions League competition this midweek.
2-2 is my prediction score.

Liverpool – Internazionale
After absence for a long time, I am back to give the match previews on the UEFA Championship competition.
This midweek, Liverpool will very please for Internazionale as their opponent in Anfield Stadium. Not like Arsenal get the favorite from AC Milan on another match. Liverpool is the underdog team when meets Inter. The last trophy getting by Liverpool at the 04/05 season. And Inter Milan get the last supremacy on the 64/65 season (more than 40 years).
But all the bookies make Inter as the favorite team for this match; the predictor has a reason for this situation. As we know Inter has been a champion at the domestic league competition on the 2 last season (included “gift” from Juventus when CaCLiopoli Scandal). And for this season Inter has a great performance after being a leader at Serie A, and for this year their also probably getting “Treble Winner” (two another chances come from UEFA Championship League and Coppa Italy).
Other side as the home team Liverpool, on the domestic league contest. They has made a bad performance so far, there still standing at the middle of table and their also failed to survive on the Carling Cup, and another tragedy The Reds also eliminated from the FA Cup. With this performance, very logic if all bookies make them as Underdog team on this fixture.
Analysis:
If we see from the history matches when Liverpool play with Italian team. They have a good motivation because there has a good record when clash with Italian team. I think Liverpool should make a goal at the first half match here if their want to survive this week. Of course Benitez didn’t want this match will be like The Reds clash with Barnsley (their defeated from Barnsley after they lead the game before match end).
A tight game for Liverpool here if we see Inter has made the great victory from Newcastle (4-1) and kicked Arsenal 3-0. I am sure the both of team will use a same formation here (4-4-2). From the formation analysis, we can see a good value for Liverpool, because there have a good player at the middle with good skill for defense and attack. And Liverpool also has good winger players who very positively give the assist for striker. The minus value for the, Liverpool have a weak at the defense sector (late anticipation so far, with strike ball).
For Inter Milan, Mancini is a tactician coach this season; at the front line they have very dangerous and productive players as Crespo-Suazo-Cruz. All of this, their also have a great mentality to be a Champions on the Europe competition.
Head to head:
04/05/65 Liverpool 3-1 Inter
12/05/65 Inter 3-0 Liverpool
By the way, from the 3 last seasons on the Champions league. I am still believed will make a good result in this competition. My opinion percentage for this match 35% win for Liverpool, 35% draw, and 30% win for Inter. I am strongly sure very difficult to beat Liverpool at Anfield Stadium on the International competition.
Liverpool to win with only 1 goal margin, the score may be 3-2 for Liverpool.

AS Roma – Real Madrid
From another match on the LC this midweek, Roma will very welcomes for Spanish team Real Madrid.
Is the truth the 4-2-3-1 formation from Roma is the good formation for Totti as lone striker at the front line? For me, Spaletti has a good tactic here because with this formation 3 of their middle attackers players can make a surprise if Totti not in good position. We can see with this formation we can see Totti didn’t want to wait the ball so far, his also move to the around the field to get a ball (this make opponent defenders should beware for the pressure from Taddei or Mancini who the man will make attacking from right side and left side.
And for Madrid, is very unfortunately because their will loss of service from Robinho on this fixture because injured problem. I think the best choice for Schuster is use GUti and Baptista at the same time. Baptista is the enthusiasm player to make pressure and Guti has great skill to give assist with long passing. But this is away match for Madrid, if their play too offensive on this matches, will make them very probably to lost in Roma. With this calculation, very possible for Schuster to give chance for Gago and Diarra to hold Roma.
And my prediction for this match, I am sure the final score until 90 minutes match is 1-1, and this will be a draw game on the CL this midweek.
