Cracovia Krakow to beat Shakhter Soligorsk @ 3.6

Shakhter came from Krakow with a 2-1 lead last week but I fancy another away win today and this time it will be the poles who come out on top. These are two evenly matched sides, but I think Cracovia needed that match last week and having played it, they will be up for this one and desperate for a result. Cracoivas side is made of mostly Polish players and they have a good bond and their is a real team feel to them and that they will work hard for each other. Shakther are strugglers in Europe and I think Cracovia have the ability to hurt them today. The home side have struggled recently, winning just 1 of their last 5 at home in the league and one of those losses was on Wednesday when they were beaten 2-0 at home by Dinamo Brest. Cracovia are a good price for the win here.

TPS to beat Lisburn Distillery @ 1.25

TPS hold a 3-2 advantage heading in to the second leg and they will want to make sure of it with a win today. TPS played on Wednesday as they beat FC Haka 2-0 at home. They are unbeaten in their last four home matches and have won 7 of their last 10 at Veritas Stadion. This is a very tough trip for Lisburn Distillery who showed a real vulnreability at the back last Saturday and they just werent in the same league as the finnish side.

FK Riga to beat Fylkir Reykjavik @ 2.6

FK Riga need to win this one after they played poorly at home last week and lost 2-1 but I think they can beat Fylkir in Reykjavik today. FK Riga are 3rd in the Latvian league at the moment and their away form has been good, winning 3 of the last 4 and 5 of the last 7 and that included a 2-1 win against local rivals and the best team in Latvia Skonto Riga. Fylkir have started very poorly in Iceland and are 10th out of 12 in their league. They suffered their second straight home defeat on Wednesday against UMF Grindavik and FK Riga have to see this as a game they can win to ensure qualification.

HJK Helsinki to beat RoPS @ 1.5

HJK can move in to 3rd place with a win today and I expect them to get that win against RoPS. HJK have been solid at home this season and are unbeaten at the Finnair Stadium in 2008. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of 5 home league matches and they are a very dangerous team with Tomasz Sadjak and Juho Makela in attack. RoPS have found it hard away from home and they are yet to win away from home in 2008. In the league they have lost 2 and drawn 2, their last away match they were beaten easily 3-1 by FC Haka. HJK have won four of their last five meetings with RoPS, who have not won in Helsinki since 1998.

DC United to beat LA Galaxy @ 2.04

DC United are in hot form at the moment and they are scoring a lot of goals. They have won three straight home matches, scoring 10 goals in those three matches. They have won 8 of their last 10 at home and with the likes of Emilio, Moreno, Quaranta and Gallardo on their team they have are force to be reckoned with. The Galaxy are far too inconsistent for my liking, they have played brilliantly on the road at times(5-1 win at Dallas, 3-0 win in San Jose) but have also played poorly(4-0 loss at the Rapids, 2-0 loss in Toronto). They will struggle against a top team like DC and this game may come out to who can score the most and DC have the ability to score a lot.

Brazil Serie A

Palmeiras -:- Nautico

Gremio -:- Internacional


Both are strong home teams and their opponents are weak away. I'll be banking on home to win in both games.

Fluminense -:- Botafogo RJ

Can't really decide who would be better here but i think the total goals would be under 2.5.
