The players of Aswan won 4 of their last seven league games in which conceded only one defeat with 0-2 in his visit to El Entag El Harb in the middle of last month and are unbeaten for 4 consecutive rounds. The team still has neither a complete success away from home, at 8 their visits so far won only 3 points and a 1-1 draw in their last trip on the 5th Dahleya El Cairo managed to break a series of 4-game losing streak away from home, which received at least 2 goals in his net.In late October last year, both teams failed to score in Aswan. The game is quite important for the hosts, who are not entitled to more mistakes to stay in the title race this season and I would be surprised if Zamalek do not win convincingly their household weak outside the playing team Aswan.
Forecast: Home win
Borussia Dortmund - Porto
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
In this clash of the tournament LE race against each other in a dispute for the victory face teams from Dortmund hosts and their guests in the face of the team of Porto. Both teams respectively as representatives of Germany and Portugal have available as class players and certainly will try to win the match to be confident in the second leg. They in most matches managed to create a lot chances to score in front of their opponents and this leads to more hits in the meetings with their participation.
Borussia Dortmund is the favorite against Porto!
Borussia Dortmund meet Porto in the first match of 1/16 finals in the Europa League.
Borussia Dortmund lost their last two matches in the group stage of the Europa League, but the team had already secured participation in the direct elimination.
Thomas Tuhel and company showed excellent form lately, having had 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 games.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has not fully recovered from injury, but is expected to lead the attack of the hosts.
In the offensive midfield Tuhel most likely bet on Shinji Kagawa, Henrik Mhitaryan and Marco Reus.
Porto shift in the Europa League after failing to qualify for the second phase of the Champions League.
The team of Jose Peseyro warmed for the visit of Borussia with success over Benfica 2:1 in the derby of the Portuguese Cup last Friday.
Portuguese definitely Razplaga with a powerful attack, but experience a lot of problems in defense.
Peseyro can not rely on Thursday convicted Maxi Pereira and Danilo Pereira and injured Marcano.
You can try this game with a small bet. It is clear that Borussia are favorites, but that does not mean that Porto are a weak team, on the contrary. The Portuguese have a very strong lineup that is capable to offer surprise. In the last round in the local championship defeated his older opponent Benfica. This factor stake for guests is a great opportunity.
I think no one doubts that Dortmund belongs to the cohort of the favorites of the Europa League draw. But this season, the second-largest tournament in Europe will resemble the rat race, but closer to the critical stage will begin a real massacre, not so much for the title, as for participation in the Champions League next year.
Borussia again, as before, took to show a phenomenal game in attack. Today the "bumblebees" - one of the most successful attacks in the European Championships, and the quartet in the face of Gundogan, Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang Royce is a horror for any defense. It is worth noting that recently began to take a little Aubameyang, who even in the last round was out of order. But it is rather a measure of wellness, to gabonets managed to recharge with positive emotions.
Returning to the group stage, it should be noted that the German grand passed a competition in one go, using the meeting in midvik more as a test platform for testing and training of young people for the fights of the championship. In the game against the Portuguese this will not be exact. Thomas Tuchel has already said that will continue to put the strongest team and the game with such a strong opponent will be a good test for his boys. Serious human losses in the "yellow-black" is not, and therefore there is not a word Dortmund coach broke with the case.
Borussia Dortmund - Porto: projected compositions
Dortmund: Weidenfeller - Gintner, Hummels, Sokratis, Schmelzer - Weigl - Royce, Kagawa, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan - Aubameyang
Porto: Casillas - Lajunen, Verdasco, Indie, Angel - Herrera, Neves, André - Corona, Abubakar, Brahimi
Out of the game
Dortmund: Sahin, Bender
Porto: M. Pereira, D. Pereira, Marcano
"Dragons" last weekend were able to return not only in the fight for second place, but also for the championship seat, which is sat at Sporting. "White-blue" on the road beat Benfica, that speaks for itself, so the upcoming meeting is expected Porto fans are very enthusiastic.
The Portuguese were in the Europa League, finishing the group stage of the Champions League in third place. I must say that more wards then Hulena Lopetegi at their stupidity, have failed to take even the second, and the first place, miss the desired result, and in a meeting with Chelsea in London, and in a game with Dynamo Kiev. A series of failures in the Champions League and the championship put a cross on the prospects for the Spanish coach, who was soon forced to resign, and was replaced by Portuguese Jose Pezeyru. Pireneets immediately proved that despite his limited experience strong management teams, it is perfectly willing to work entrusted to him.

But the big question is whether he can just as easily adapt to the playoffs. In fact, the same question can be asked, and mentor of the German club. Considering also that the port does not start to play three player in charge of the defensive game, Borussia pretty much lets rivals at the gate, even on their arena, I think that both the team just have to give us a bright attacking play.
This is also one of the pairs, in which the favorites are playing the Europa League. True to win this tournament for the sake of getting into the Champions League it is no longer necessary, because they have everything in order in their own national championships. The "Borussia" has problems with injured and sick team leaders. Obameyyang just started training, Gundogan run individually, but Weidenfeller and Sahin missed training because of a cold. "Port" was not able to overtake the "Dynamo Kiev" in the group stage of the Champions League, which means that after this season fewer players leave the club, because for them will not be so closely, as if they were playing in the Champions League. Anyway, this season "dragons" look rather mediocre, and only in third place come the championship in Portugal.
Forecast for the match: Both teams to score
over 2.5 goals
Home win or away win
Valencia - Rapid Vienna
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
Rapid Vienna may have been one of the most impressive teams in the group stage of the tournament, recording five wins in six matches, but I think that comes from the Champions League Valencia is first in class of each of the opponents of the Austrian Grand group and secondly - it is classy and very Rapid and win its terrain.
Moreover Viennese fight for the title in Austria and do not think they have enough capacity to survive long on both fronts. I think of the "Mestalla" Spanish team will provide not only win, but also calm ahead of the second leg in Vienna.
Valencia are several classes above his Austrian opponent. At Mestalla just do not see how Rapid Vienna will be able to spell surprises.
Forecast: Home win
Midtjylland - Manchester United
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal acknowledged after the loss of Sunderland 1: 2 last Saturday in fourth place in the Premier League looks increasingly difficult achievable goal for his team.
Therefore Dutchman plans to throw all the forces in winning the Europa League, which will enable the team to participate in the Champions League next campaign.
"It became very difficult after we lost those 5 points. So draw with Chelsea weighs more. We have to win these matches, and we did not do it and the blame for this is ours. I think now the Europa League is the best time for us, but it will not be easy, as the tournament has very good teams. I have not put under more pressure. I do my job in the best possible way. I can not do more than what I do. I will try to prepare his players 100% for Thursday, as I always do, "said Van Gaal.
The captain of Manchester United Wayne Rooney did not travel with the team for this visit of Midtjylland due to injury.
In the absence of Rooney attack the Red Devils will be led by the young Anthony Marcial, and a chance to shine up front will get more Memphis Depay and Andreas Pereira.
Group of Manchester United's trip to Midtjylland: David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Donald Love, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Reagan Poole, Paddy MakNiar Joe Riley, Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, James Weir, Juan Mata, Memphis Depay, Anthony Marcial, Will Keane.
Many football fans are vexatious to the Europa League. However, if Manchester United approach seriously and fail to win the race, they will fail to qualify in qualifying for the Champions League next season, but at this stage it seems most likely way to do so. Boys Louis van Gaal are six points of the top four in the Premiership.The first hurdle for "Reds" is Danish Midtjylland, where only a few weeks ago had attracted the defender of the national team of Bulgaria Nikolay Bodurov. The Danes managed to eliminate from the race Southampton, then they went out and the group despite some heavy losses. They conceded heavy defeats by Napoli 0: 5 as a guest and 1: 4 at home.Over the weekend, United are about match in the FA Cup against Shrewsbury slabaka so that Louis van Gaal will hardly save power holders, but staffing issues that have been difficult to assume what your stock will go left. Understatement, however, can play a bad joke giants as hosts are well organized and ambitious team.Since the beginning of the season, Manchester United showed variations in their away games and it shows in their visit to Sunderland at the weekend when they lost.Midtjylland, however, have only one home win in their last four matches in all competitions. They have three losses in their last five games, so the odds of winning guest 1.70 seems understandable.The hosts are out of shape by the end of last season, and if Van Gaal bet on strong composition United should not have problems with the win.
By all logic things these teams do not have to meet in European competition with each other. Well, or at least should not be in the Europa League. However, a philosopher at the head of "Sir Alex" come and to this tournament. Louis van Gaal's true and then see the plus - after a victory in the Le intends to get a ticket to the Champions League, because after the championship it is an impossible mission. I do not think is true with the attitude of English clubs in the Europa League, that the "red devils" and then either shines track. The Danes came out of a difficult group where there were bits of "Napoli", outright conceding nine goals against the Italians. Will wards Van Gaal also play? I do not think. Still favorite pair, of course, British.

Augsburg - Liverpool
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
Jürgen Klopp is back in his native Germany, leading Liverpool, with ambition to win against Augsburg local match of Europa League.
After a poor season in the Premier League, winning the Europa League looks like the only way to qualify in the Champions League for season 2016/17, so that we are an exciting match.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes that the return of Daniel Sturridge in the game will act positively on the overall performance of the team.
Over the weekend Sturridge reminded of the huge class once appeared on the field for the first time since October and inspire Liverpool goal rout success with 6:0 in the visit of Aston Villa.
"Daniel is a player of the highest class. It is definitely one of the best when healthy. With a presence on the pitch he was able to make a difference. In the match against Villa we saw just how much we missed him. It is presented brilliantly after his return and hopefully that will keep new injuries. Daniel is extremely sharp and is a nightmare for any defender. He certainly strikes fear in our opponents, "said Henderson.
Daniel Sturridge will have ambitions to be a strong showing in the matches of Liverpool until the end of the season, thus earning a place in the selection of Roy Hodgson for Euro 2016 in France during the summer.
Reds can not rely on Adam Lallana in the game against Augsburg as the England international has not recovered from the calf injury.
Midfielder Kevin Stewart is also out due to injury, but returned to play Lucas Leiva.
Goalkeeper Danny Ward is expected to make its official debut with the team of Liverpool in the upcoming match.
In previous positions will most likely see to partner Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmin.
Maligned German team Augsburg difficult to compete with the class of Liverpool. Liverpool in their last match raznebitiha Aston Villa 6:0. If taken seriously, it should not be difficult to win the victory that will help them feel more confident about the second leg at Anfield. Moreover, the home team will win four consecutive games.

Villarreal - Napoli
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
Napoli hopes of a good result in Villarreal!
Slovakian international Marek Hamšík warned saobornitsite in Napoli are concentrated in marginal visit of Villarreal in a match of 1/16 finals of the Europa League.
He hopes his team can achieve a good result, "El Madrigal".
Napoli and Villarreal met 4 times in European competition in 2011, as the Italians recorded two wins, a draw and a loss.
Marek Hamšík do not even think about underestimating the Spanish team.
"Villarreal is a difficult rival, played already four times against them. They are among the top teams in Spain and proof of it is their fourth place in the table as soon grandovete Barcelona, Real [Madrid] and Atletico [Madrid]. They perform very strongly home. We want to achieve a good result before the second leg, "said Hamshik.
Napoli is a series of 6 consecutive wins in the Europa League.
Villarreal, in turn, knows the taste of loss in their last 5 games of the race.
Equivalent game in which you bet on the team with a higher coefficient. We do not see why the bookies give such a high degree of dismay in view of their unique shape. Villarreal have 8 wins and 3 level in the last 11 rounds in the Spanish championship. One of those victories over Real Madrid. Of course, Napoli also have a strong team, but they now priority is the championship, where they have a chance to reach the title after perennial break. Do not forget the home court advantage.

Sparta Prague - Krasnodar
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
The Czech football, exactly as in Russia, there is a winter break, but it ends in mid-February. But I do not think that this will allow the Prague club have an overwhelming advantage over the Krasnodar team.
Sparta familiar Russian fans for the battle with the Moscow "CSKA" in the Champions League qualification. In fairness, it must be admitted that in opposition to the passage to the group stage is more deserving of the Czechs, but the same can ever be lucky and our team. Today, the people of Prague took second place in the championship and lead, has already become a classic, fight for the championship with Victoria Plzen.
In the group stage wards Zdenek Shchastnogo easily finished in second place, followed by the German Schalke, not suffered a single defeat in the quartet. This fact alone again reminds us of the power of the Czech club. Czechs profess bright football championship matches in most sweeping their rivals a flurry of attacks.
Actually, in a similar manner Praguers and acted against CSKA Moscow, but in contrast to Krasnodar, the "red-blue" was a huge European Cup experience behind them. Also it should be noted, and the athleticism of players of Sparta; almost every part of the Czech team in the stands excellent physics and dimensions.
Do not be able to help his team to just three players. If Kovacs has long been treated after a serious injury, the absence of Frydek and Shura would be difficult not to notice, especially in attacking play.
Sparta - Krasnodar projected compositions
Sparta: Bichek - Costa Golek, Brabec, thickened - Mareček, Matějovský - Krejci, Dočkal, veil - Lafata
Krasnodar: Dikan - Kaleshin, Sigurdsson, Granqvist, Petrov - Mamaev, Akhmedov, Gasinski - resin Ari Zhoazino

Sparta: Shura, Frydek, Kovacs
Krasnodar -
"Bulls" are forced to be proud of after two matches with Borussia Dortmund. The team of Oleg Kononov left a very good impression; it is clear that the Germans were stronger, but to beat at home, "bumblebee" worth it.
Krasnodar, as well as his opponent today, practiced attacking style of play, but in contrast to Sparta, not running with drawn swords, and leaves behind 4-5 players. With ahead of such strong masters as resins, Ari, Zhoazino, Kaboré and Pereira, "black-green" could well afford not to attack too large forces. But do not think that the same Petrov Kaleshin and can not support the attack - as shown by the above-mentioned match against
Dortmund, these two players of the "southerners" are able to do a tremendous amount of work on both halves of the field.
Sparta - Krasnodar: the forecast for the match LE against Sparta readers (0) - Krasnodar 1.50 (0) - 2.60
View results
Wards Oleg Kononov from year to year are moving in the forward direction, in the last season was the group stage in the playoffs. Krasnodar is already beginning to be respected and, in some way, to fear in Europe; it is clear that clubs such as Napoli and Tottenham Russian club is not terrible, but about Sparta this can not be said. The main objective of the "bulls" - a goal and try to keep the extracted edge. It will not be very easy, very fast and Czechs loving combinational football team, so have a lot of Krasnodar foul. Moreover, let us not forget that in the first place, it is only the beginning of the season and the form of the players is poor, and secondly, the "bulls" Few in the composition boasts specific experience playoff European cup, and therefore will be nerves and, consequently, violations.
Two Russian club's screwed up in the first European Cup matches and now all hope for "Krasnodar". Rival they certainly did not like "Benfica" and "Fenerbahce", but is also very skilled as can be seen by Czechs matches against CSKA Moscow last season. This "Sparta" has not lost once in the group stage, including "Schalke." Truth and "Krasnodar" met with the club from Germany - to rival the worst "Schalke", "Borussia" from Dortmund and played decent. It is hoped that the "Krasnodar" players will run on the field and not to crawl like a railroad or walk like the St. Petersburg group. It is good that the first match will be held in the Czech Republic. If anything, it is still possible to correct the errors. But let us hope that all will end well for the "bulls".
Forecast: Krasnodar over 2.5 yellow cards

Fiorentina - Tottenham Hotspur
Europa League - Round of 32

For the second time in a row of blind fate brings these teams in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. The last time the "violets" Londoners have passed, but this time the favorite, with clear, I think are the "Spurs". True if the "Tottenham" of course decides to fight for the trophy, and that they have good prospects in England loom. The assets Pochettino wards five straight wins in the Premier League. This is not a sad championship in Italy, where such series as a good morning. Londoners are in fantastic form, can not be said about the "Fiorentina". Team success alternates with faded matches, the Italians also did not particularly favor the Europa League, so it may not balk. Although, what I mean, because this season the winner of the tournament receives a ticket to the Champions League. In my opinion, this is a chance which should be used any more or less decent.
There are two teams with outstanding performance in attack, each of which is a potential favorite to win the Europa League and it is unfortunate that lot detachments one of them disappears in such an early stage, but at least it gave us the opportunity to enjoy the two matches between exceptional team and I am confident that they will see great football. I expect in the first collision offensive players on both sides to show their potential and see the hits in each of the doors.
Forecast: Away win or draw

"Shakhtar" was not lucky with the group in the Champions League, but now it's too late to sprinkle ashes on his head, it is necessary to try to win the Europa League. The truth now is not the most desirable goal for the team. Although, many players like the miners to move into championship class above, and where it does not in European competition to show his class in front of scouts giants. "Schalke" is very unstable right now. The team can beat "Wolfsburg", and may assign "Bremen" or "Mainz". "Cobalt" do not like to play against them at speeds, namely play and "miners". Of course, without Alex Teixeira, who had gone to China to work, it will be hard, but to overcome this "Schalke" is still able to do.

The "Borussia" has problems with injured and sick team leaders. Obameyyang just started training, Gundogan run individually, but Weidenfeller and Sahin missed training because of a cold. "Port" was not able to overtake the "Dynamo Kiev" in the group stage of the Champions League, which means that after this season fewer players leave the club, because for them will not be so closely, as if they were playing in the Champions League. Anyway, this season "dragons" look rather mediocre, and only in third place come the championship in Portugal.
Forecast for the match: Both teams to score
over 2.5 goals
Home win or away win
Valencia - Rapid Vienna
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
Rapid Vienna may have been one of the most impressive teams in the group stage of the tournament, recording five wins in six matches, but I think that comes from the Champions League Valencia is first in class of each of the opponents of the Austrian Grand group and secondly - it is classy and very Rapid and win its terrain.
Moreover Viennese fight for the title in Austria and do not think they have enough capacity to survive long on both fronts. I think of the "Mestalla" Spanish team will provide not only win, but also calm ahead of the second leg in Vienna.
Valencia are several classes above his Austrian opponent. At Mestalla just do not see how Rapid Vienna will be able to spell surprises.
Forecast: Home win
Midtjylland - Manchester United
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal acknowledged after the loss of Sunderland 1: 2 last Saturday in fourth place in the Premier League looks increasingly difficult achievable goal for his team.
Therefore Dutchman plans to throw all the forces in winning the Europa League, which will enable the team to participate in the Champions League next campaign.
"It became very difficult after we lost those 5 points. So draw with Chelsea weighs more. We have to win these matches, and we did not do it and the blame for this is ours. I think now the Europa League is the best time for us, but it will not be easy, as the tournament has very good teams. I have not put under more pressure. I do my job in the best possible way. I can not do more than what I do. I will try to prepare his players 100% for Thursday, as I always do, "said Van Gaal.
The captain of Manchester United Wayne Rooney did not travel with the team for this visit of Midtjylland due to injury.
In the absence of Rooney attack the Red Devils will be led by the young Anthony Marcial, and a chance to shine up front will get more Memphis Depay and Andreas Pereira.
Group of Manchester United's trip to Midtjylland: David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Donald Love, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Reagan Poole, Paddy MakNiar Joe Riley, Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, James Weir, Juan Mata, Memphis Depay, Anthony Marcial, Will Keane.
Many football fans are vexatious to the Europa League. However, if Manchester United approach seriously and fail to win the race, they will fail to qualify in qualifying for the Champions League next season, but at this stage it seems most likely way to do so. Boys Louis van Gaal are six points of the top four in the Premiership.The first hurdle for "Reds" is Danish Midtjylland, where only a few weeks ago had attracted the defender of the national team of Bulgaria Nikolay Bodurov. The Danes managed to eliminate from the race Southampton, then they went out and the group despite some heavy losses. They conceded heavy defeats by Napoli 0: 5 as a guest and 1: 4 at home.Over the weekend, United are about match in the FA Cup against Shrewsbury slabaka so that Louis van Gaal will hardly save power holders, but staffing issues that have been difficult to assume what your stock will go left. Understatement, however, can play a bad joke giants as hosts are well organized and ambitious team.Since the beginning of the season, Manchester United showed variations in their away games and it shows in their visit to Sunderland at the weekend when they lost.Midtjylland, however, have only one home win in their last four matches in all competitions. They have three losses in their last five games, so the odds of winning guest 1.70 seems understandable.The hosts are out of shape by the end of last season, and if Van Gaal bet on strong composition United should not have problems with the win.
By all logic things these teams do not have to meet in European competition with each other. Well, or at least should not be in the Europa League. However, a philosopher at the head of "Sir Alex" come and to this tournament. Louis van Gaal's true and then see the plus - after a victory in the Le intends to get a ticket to the Champions League, because after the championship it is an impossible mission. I do not think is true with the attitude of English clubs in the Europa League, that the "red devils" and then either shines track. The Danes came out of a difficult group where there were bits of "Napoli", outright conceding nine goals against the Italians. Will wards Van Gaal also play? I do not think. Still favorite pair, of course, British.
Forecast: Away win
Away win (-1 goal handicap)

Augsburg - Liverpool
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
Jürgen Klopp is back in his native Germany, leading Liverpool, with ambition to win against Augsburg local match of Europa League.
After a poor season in the Premier League, winning the Europa League looks like the only way to qualify in the Champions League for season 2016/17, so that we are an exciting match.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes that the return of Daniel Sturridge in the game will act positively on the overall performance of the team.
Over the weekend Sturridge reminded of the huge class once appeared on the field for the first time since October and inspire Liverpool goal rout success with 6:0 in the visit of Aston Villa.
"Daniel is a player of the highest class. It is definitely one of the best when healthy. With a presence on the pitch he was able to make a difference. In the match against Villa we saw just how much we missed him. It is presented brilliantly after his return and hopefully that will keep new injuries. Daniel is extremely sharp and is a nightmare for any defender. He certainly strikes fear in our opponents, "said Henderson.
Daniel Sturridge will have ambitions to be a strong showing in the matches of Liverpool until the end of the season, thus earning a place in the selection of Roy Hodgson for Euro 2016 in France during the summer.
Reds can not rely on Adam Lallana in the game against Augsburg as the England international has not recovered from the calf injury.
Midfielder Kevin Stewart is also out due to injury, but returned to play Lucas Leiva.
Goalkeeper Danny Ward is expected to make its official debut with the team of Liverpool in the upcoming match.
In previous positions will most likely see to partner Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmin.
Maligned German team Augsburg difficult to compete with the class of Liverpool. Liverpool in their last match raznebitiha Aston Villa 6:0. If taken seriously, it should not be difficult to win the victory that will help them feel more confident about the second leg at Anfield. Moreover, the home team will win four consecutive games.
Forecast: Away win
Villarreal - Napoli
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
Napoli hopes of a good result in Villarreal!
Slovakian international Marek Hamšík warned saobornitsite in Napoli are concentrated in marginal visit of Villarreal in a match of 1/16 finals of the Europa League.
He hopes his team can achieve a good result, "El Madrigal".
Marek Hamšík do not even think about underestimating the Spanish team.
"Villarreal is a difficult rival, played already four times against them. They are among the top teams in Spain and proof of it is their fourth place in the table as soon grandovete Barcelona, Real [Madrid] and Atletico [Madrid]. They perform very strongly home. We want to achieve a good result before the second leg, "said Hamshik.
Napoli is a series of 6 consecutive wins in the Europa League.
Villarreal, in turn, knows the taste of loss in their last 5 games of the race.
Equivalent game in which you bet on the team with a higher coefficient. We do not see why the bookies give such a high degree of dismay in view of their unique shape. Villarreal have 8 wins and 3 level in the last 11 rounds in the Spanish championship. One of those victories over Real Madrid. Of course, Napoli also have a strong team, but they now priority is the championship, where they have a chance to reach the title after perennial break. Do not forget the home court advantage.
Forecast: Home win
Sparta Prague - Krasnodar
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 22:05 CET
The Czech football, exactly as in Russia, there is a winter break, but it ends in mid-February. But I do not think that this will allow the Prague club have an overwhelming advantage over the Krasnodar team.
Sparta familiar Russian fans for the battle with the Moscow "CSKA" in the Champions League qualification. In fairness, it must be admitted that in opposition to the passage to the group stage is more deserving of the Czechs, but the same can ever be lucky and our team. Today, the people of Prague took second place in the championship and lead, has already become a classic, fight for the championship with Victoria Plzen.
In the group stage wards Zdenek Shchastnogo easily finished in second place, followed by the German Schalke, not suffered a single defeat in the quartet. This fact alone again reminds us of the power of the Czech club. Czechs profess bright football championship matches in most sweeping their rivals a flurry of attacks.
Actually, in a similar manner Praguers and acted against CSKA Moscow, but in contrast to Krasnodar, the "red-blue" was a huge European Cup experience behind them. Also it should be noted, and the athleticism of players of Sparta; almost every part of the Czech team in the stands excellent physics and dimensions.
Do not be able to help his team to just three players. If Kovacs has long been treated after a serious injury, the absence of Frydek and Shura would be difficult not to notice, especially in attacking play.
Sparta - Krasnodar projected compositions
Sparta: Bichek - Costa Golek, Brabec, thickened - Mareček, Matějovský - Krejci, Dočkal, veil - Lafata
Krasnodar: Dikan - Kaleshin, Sigurdsson, Granqvist, Petrov - Mamaev, Akhmedov, Gasinski - resin Ari Zhoazino
Out of the game
Sparta: Shura, Frydek, Kovacs
Krasnodar -
"Bulls" are forced to be proud of after two matches with Borussia Dortmund. The team of Oleg Kononov left a very good impression; it is clear that the Germans were stronger, but to beat at home, "bumblebee" worth it.
Krasnodar, as well as his opponent today, practiced attacking style of play, but in contrast to Sparta, not running with drawn swords, and leaves behind 4-5 players. With ahead of such strong masters as resins, Ari, Zhoazino, Kaboré and Pereira, "black-green" could well afford not to attack too large forces. But do not think that the same Petrov Kaleshin and can not support the attack - as shown by the above-mentioned match against
Dortmund, these two players of the "southerners" are able to do a tremendous amount of work on both halves of the field.
Sparta - Krasnodar: the forecast for the match LE against Sparta readers (0) - Krasnodar 1.50 (0) - 2.60
View results
Wards Oleg Kononov from year to year are moving in the forward direction, in the last season was the group stage in the playoffs. Krasnodar is already beginning to be respected and, in some way, to fear in Europe; it is clear that clubs such as Napoli and Tottenham Russian club is not terrible, but about Sparta this can not be said. The main objective of the "bulls" - a goal and try to keep the extracted edge. It will not be very easy, very fast and Czechs loving combinational football team, so have a lot of Krasnodar foul. Moreover, let us not forget that in the first place, it is only the beginning of the season and the form of the players is poor, and secondly, the "bulls" Few in the composition boasts specific experience playoff European cup, and therefore will be nerves and, consequently, violations.
Two Russian club's screwed up in the first European Cup matches and now all hope for "Krasnodar". Rival they certainly did not like "Benfica" and "Fenerbahce", but is also very skilled as can be seen by Czechs matches against CSKA Moscow last season. This "Sparta" has not lost once in the group stage, including "Schalke." Truth and "Krasnodar" met with the club from Germany - to rival the worst "Schalke", "Borussia" from Dortmund and played decent. It is hoped that the "Krasnodar" players will run on the field and not to crawl like a railroad or walk like the St. Petersburg group. It is good that the first match will be held in the Czech Republic. If anything, it is still possible to correct the errors. But let us hope that all will end well for the "bulls".
Forecast: Krasnodar over 2.5 yellow cards
Away win
Fiorentina - Tottenham Hotspur
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
For the second time in a row of blind fate brings these teams in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. The last time the "violets" Londoners have passed, but this time the favorite, with clear, I think are the "Spurs". True if the "Tottenham" of course decides to fight for the trophy, and that they have good prospects in England loom. The assets Pochettino wards five straight wins in the Premier League. This is not a sad championship in Italy, where such series as a good morning. Londoners are in fantastic form, can not be said about the "Fiorentina". Team success alternates with faded matches, the Italians also did not particularly favor the Europa League, so it may not balk. Although, what I mean, because this season the winner of the tournament receives a ticket to the Champions League. In my opinion, this is a chance which should be used any more or less decent.
There are two teams with outstanding performance in attack, each of which is a potential favorite to win the Europa League and it is unfortunate that lot detachments one of them disappears in such an early stage, but at least it gave us the opportunity to enjoy the two matches between exceptional team and I am confident that they will see great football. I expect in the first collision offensive players on both sides to show their potential and see the hits in each of the doors.
Forecast: Away win or draw
over 2.5 goals
Shakhtar D - Schalke
Europa League - Round of 32
02/18/2016 20:00 CET
"Miners" against the "gas industry". "Shakhtar" was not lucky with the group in the Champions League, but now it's too late to sprinkle ashes on his head, it is necessary to try to win the Europa League. The truth now is not the most desirable goal for the team. Although, many players like the miners to move into championship class above, and where it does not in European competition to show his class in front of scouts giants. "Schalke" is very unstable right now. The team can beat "Wolfsburg", and may assign "Bremen" or "Mainz". "Cobalt" do not like to play against them at speeds, namely play and "miners". Of course, without Alex Teixeira, who had gone to China to work, it will be hard, but to overcome this "Schalke" is still able to do.
Forecast: Home win
