Midweek Sporting Predictions 30/03/2010
Champions League Logo
Another huge footballing midweek so I thought i’d give another prediction a go! We’ve got Champions League, Europa League and Championship action to look at this time.
Football
Tuesday
| Fixture | Prediction | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Bayern Vs Man Utd | 0-1 | |
| Lyon Vs Bordeaux | 2-1 | |
| Cardiff Vs Leicester | 2-1 | |
| Plymouth Vs Barnsley | 1-1 | |
| Watford Vs Crystal Palace | 1-1 |
All of the above games are very hard to call. I think that United will be too good for Bayern. I know they’re much improved but with a couple of crucial injuries and the fact that this Bayern side isn’t the best we’ve seen will mean that United will shade it. I think it’ll be tight and then United will get a goal in the second half. The Lyon – Bordeaux games in my opinion will both go to the home side so away goals are all important.
Wednesday
| Fixture | Prediction | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenal Vs Barcelona | 1-1 | |
| Inter Vs CSKA | 2-0 |
The Three Championship games are so tight Leicester have been a little indifferent of late so I expect Cardiff to just take this game. Plymouth are fighting for their lives (or should be) but confidence is low and I think Barnsley will get a point from the game. What a huge game Watford – Palace is. If Watford win then Palace have a mountain to climb. I think it’ll be feisty and niggly but I have to go with a draw. Palace are my second team so I hope they win!
Thursday
| Fixture | Prediction | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Benfica Vs Liverpool | 2-1 | |
| Fulham Vs Wolfsburg | 1-1 | |
| HSV Vs Standard Liege | 2-0 | |
| Valencia Vs Atletico Madrid | 2-1 |
Arsenal – Barcelona, the purists will be wetting themselves over this game. I can’t see Arsenal winning the tie overall, neither can I see them winning this game although they’ll give it a good go. We’ll see how good they really are but I’m going for a draw. I think Inter got the best draw for the quarters and I think they’ll win comfortably in this match.
Friday
| Fixture | Prediction | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Scunthorpe v Blackpool | 2-1 | |
| West Brom v Leicester | 2-0 |
Scunthorpe are battling hard and Blackpool are fighting for a playoff place (imagine Blackpool in the Premiership!) but I think Scunthorpe have enough steel about them to scrape a win. West Brom are flying high and I can’t see Leicester getting a result at the Hawthorns.
