 Excelsior - PSV Eindhoven
Netherlands Dutch Eredivisie

Today seems fairly easy hurdle over PSV Eindhoven. Excelsior is a series of four consecutive defeats and totally ruined the good impression of decent beginning of season. PSV have 7 wins and 1 draw in their last 8 games. PSV are not entitled to a mistake in the battle for the title against such a rival.

Forecast 2

Atletico Madrid - Celta
Spain - Copa del Rey
27/01/2016 21:30 CET

Two of the most talented coaches once again face off against each other.



Juventus - Inter
Italy - Coppa Italia
27/01/2016 21:45 CET

Juventus will meet Inter in extremely curious first semifinal match of the Cup of Italy.

Two of the grandees of Italian football will give meeting "Olimpico" in Turin. In the middle of the season the two teams perform quite differently.

After a nightmarish start to the campaign, Juventus is a series of 11 consecutive victories in Serie A, while Inter won only three of their last eight games.

So guys Roberto Mancini tumbled to fourth place in the standings, while the "Bianconeri" already second two points behind leaders Napoli.

In their last match on Saturday Inter failed to beat at home modest team of Carpi and finished 1: 1, the guests managed to equalize in stoppage time of the meeting with a man less.

There are seven-time winners of the Italian Cup and reached the semi-finals after victories over Cagliari and Napoli, while Juventus, who holds the record in the race with ten trophies side fellow citizens of Turin and Lazio.

The winner of this semifinal will face some from Milan or Alessandria. "Rossoneri" won the first match as a guest with a minimum 1:0.

Juventus - Inter rightly could claim the most important feast of "Coppa Italy", but instead we will see a brain twisting two semi-final matches. Like Milan, "naradzurri" should approach this fight before the upcoming weekend derby. On the eve of interisty could not win at home in one of the weakest teams in the championship, and the most ironic in this, that "black and blue" missed the victory, while in the numerical majority.
Inter, along with the "Bianconeri" and Napoli, is a top contender for the championship, so this fight is doubly interesting, especially considering that a month later the Milanese go to Turin again, only in the "Series A".
On the eve of the club I said goodbye to Fredy Guarin, who went to work and Andrea Ranocchia, who had gone to rent in Sampdoria. He left the club and Nemanja Vidic, but the whole trio did not have any impact on the game team, except that the Colombian midfielder, occasionally going out to the start. The rest of Roberto Mancini has no losses, and the whole team just waiting to correct the unfortunate mistake to Carpi.
Juventus - Inter Milan: projected compositions
Juventus: No - Caceres, Chiellini, Bonucci - Kuardado, Marchisio, Pogba, Sturaro Sandro - Diba, Morata
Inter: Handanovic - D'Ambrosio, Miranda Murillo, Telles - Melo Medel, Kondogbia - Jovetic - Perisic, Icardi
Out of the game
Juventus: Pereira, zazen, Lemine
Inter -
Unlike Inter, Juventus in the last round I had a real massacre with Roma, winning the capital's guests with native Italian score 1: 0. Needless to say that the "Bianconeri" spent no more than an example of strength and emotion than the Milan players, but the outlet is that turintsy content with a victory in the end, but as you know, positive emotions always add strength to recover.
Massimiliano Allegri will be without Pereira, Zazen and Lemine. All three could well go into this game, but I do not think turintsy will greatly lament the loss of players, given their excellent cadre reserve.

View Results
Both teams have met this season and the match ended with zeros on the scoreboard. Teams fairly cautious with the naked eye could see both teams in the game affects two-week break, associated with the team's match. Now everything is different: that Inter, Juventus, had a good rest during the winter break and are in good shape, except that the "black and blue" still can not find the right balance. "Naradzurri," unlike the "Bianconeri" are not burdened with any other tournament, so they can not even be varied composition than they brilliantly took advantage in the quarterfinals, defeating Napoli.
Turin, in turn, took all opponents at the expense of high-end players and the level of organization of the game. In this regard, the Milanese can quite compete with the hosts, who on top of that, certainly would make adjustments to the starting lineup. In addition, the wards Allegri has passed not very long ago, meeting with such a strong opponent, it may be marked by the sunset in this series. Inter seriously focused on the trophy, which is so necessary to the new owners, "black and blue" team, and a taste of the next derby against AC Milan in the final of the Cup only enhances the appetite.

Forecast:Juventus win and under 2.5 goals in it
         Inter score


Manchester City - Everton
England - Capital One Cup
27/01/2016 21:45 CET

Manchester City continues to walk on very thin ice this season, playing in central defense with a couple of defenders Otamendi - Demichelis. If Nicholas claims to not so much, still the first season and adaptation, Martin now that the year becomes a stumbling block "citizens".
In the last round, we again witnessed this serious problem of Manchester City, when the first minute of the match, "blacksmith" used the thoroughfare in the penalty area. As it should be noted monstrous game City defense, so we can not say about the magnificence of their attacks, especially about a bunch Silva - Aguero. Spanish-Argentinean tandem which year is the bright spot in the game of Man. City. This year they were joined by De Bruyne and Sterling, but so far it's just a group of players attacks, than knowing all the words without a quartet of brilliant musicians.
Manuel Pellegrini still not be able to count on the company, Mangala and Nasri. In addition to them in the hospital he went to Bonnie and Kolarov. Most likely, there will finally start Pablo Zabaleta by which badly yearned fans. Also, in the first minutes of the meeting will be the backup goalie - Willy Caballero, what little inferior to his colleague on the line.
Manchester City - Everton: projected compositions
MS: Caballero - Zabaleta, Demichelis, Otamendi, Clichy - Toure, Fernandinho - Sterling Silva, De Bruyne - Aguero
Everton: Howard - Baines, Phil Jagielka, Stones, Coleman - Cleverly, Barry - Deulofeu, Barkley, Lennon - Lukaku
Out of the game
MS: Kolarov, Nasri, companies, BBQ, Boni
Everton: Mirallas, Hibbert, Pienara, Browning, McCarthy
"Taffy" is one of the major disappointments of the season. At first "blue" had been one of the main contenders for a place in the top six, particularly impressive game-pair Lukaku Barkley. But then, Liverpool began to lose stability results and slipped to 12th place in the standings.
In my opinion, Everton - one of the teams of the Premier League nedobirayuschih. Wards Roberto Martinez could at least score 8-10 points more and stay exactly on the 5-6 place, but instead is now nervously glancing at the tournament swamp. More tours enough, and the density of the table is extremely high, but it is necessary as soon as possible priorities. Behind the "blue" of heavy calendar, so soon we will again have to see Everton closer to the European Cup positions, but now you can compete for the trophy.

In the first fight was won victory, players eyes burn, and then there's a possible final with Liverpool. But the "citizens" in this season, has a "tooth" on the team Jurgen Klopp, so they just will not give up ahead of time, especially since they are playing at home. The meeting promises to be very difficult, with lots of joints, struggle and something will remind not match, which will take place three weeks later, and the second half of the match, which is a battle for life and death.

Forecast: Over 3.5 yellow cards .
