The best team in this match is Copenhagen and they will win by two goals at least!

Copenaghe is by far the best team in Denmark, Plzen it's just a regular team in the Cech Republic. I like this match up a lot with Copenaghe playing at home where they were eliminated by Chelsea at quarterfinals last year!!

While Grenoble didnt manage to earn but 7 points since the 1st round of Ligue 1, Auxerre won 39 point ( 9 less then Bordeaux (1st pos) and 1 less then Lille ( 3rd pos CL Qual.) same as Lyon.
So heres my thoughts. Grenoble is the red lantern and will stay that for all 38 rounds . They didnt won but 1 game , and scored only 12 goals. Today they face a rather strong team with objectives that probably includes Champions League. I dont thing Auxerre will stuble upon Grenoble.

"This is a league where anyone can beat anyone and Cheltenham showed us  that they are a good side and we know we are in for a tough game tomorrow.  It's a very tight league and there is very little between the teams from the top to the bottom and that's why we need to be on our guard.  The key to any success is consistency and we need to back the two away results up with a home performance.  It's absolutely crucial that we get consistency in to our play here because if we do, we will be able to put a run together, then we will be in a great position." (Eddie Howe)

Even if they had some problems, and some defeats due the bad shape, the team seems to get back on the right track, the same that brought them on the 1st position a few weeks ago. As the manager Eddie Bowe said, its a tight league and everything its possible, still, Cheltenham Town doesnt have what it takes to win this game.

In the 23th round of 1st french league , a low ranked team : Nice hosts a high ranked team Lille.
Nice  occupies the 16th place with 22 points and didn't won a single match in the last 10 rounds, only a draw at Grenoble and another one with Boulogne (2-2).
Lille on the other hand is the revelation of the season. It occupies the 3rd place accumulating 40 points, being in a exceptional shape managing to earn 8 consecutive victories (EU League + cup+championship) ; the deafeat at Sochaux interrupting the victory chain. They also faced the "Colmar episode" and the League Cup defeat against Marseille. Moreover, being eliminated from the cup and league cup, their last and main objective for the season is  a champions-league position which is not so easy to obtain  when competing with teams like Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille.
They must obtain every posible point in order to maintain themselfs into this race for a CL position.
Nevertheless, Lille has a strong team with 2 players in the Topscorers list : Cervinho 11 goals and Frau 9 goals.
Nice won't be able to use  Mamadou Bagayoko,Renato Civelli and Grégory Paisley (suspended) + Danny Pugh,Gerald Cid and Loïc Rémy(injured).

Probable teams:

 Nice : Letizi, Ospina – Apam, Cantareil, Diakité, Mabiala – Ben Saada, Coulibaly, Digard, Echouafni, Faé, Hellebuyck, Sablé, Traoré – Bamogo, Mounier, Poté, Rémy
 Lille: Butelle, Landreau – Béria, Chedjou, R. Costa, Rami, Emerson – Balmont, Cabaye, Debuchy, Vandam, Dumont, Mavuba, Gervinho, Hazard, Obraniak – De Melo, L. Touré, Frau

Being the second best team while playing away inst an accident is it? Cardiff prooved its worth not once, but everytime they played, especially the last games in which they took all 3 points against Bristol, Doncaster,Leicester.
They didnt lose  since 26 .12 last year , and i dont think they plan to lose now, against Newcastle, the actual leader of the league.

Interesting match between 2 strong and balanced team.
In the last 5 matches between these 2 , 4 of them ended with less then 3 goals :





FC Zwolle
3 - 1
Helmond Sport






Eerste Divisie
Helmond Sport
0 - 0
FC Zwolle






Eerste Divisie
FC Zwolle
0 - 1
Helmond Sport






Eerste Divisie
Helmond Sport
0 - 2
FC Zwolle






Eerste Divisie
FC Zwolle
1 - 1
Helmond Sport



At the moment Zwolle is one of the strongest teams while playing away, managing to accumulate 21 points in 13 matches conceiving only 14 goals and scoring 19.
Today they face Helmond, a team that lost a lot of games lately, a team in a  need of new ideeas, a team which will defend their chances in a must-win game.
Pick : under 2,5

Interesting Friendy match between 2 offensive teams with a great potencial of scoring and conceiving goals. Even if its a friendly, i`m sure both teams will make a good game, hopefully high on goals.
Pick: Over 2,5

After already beating Man United, Liverpool and draw at Tottenham , its obvious Leeds is in top shape at the moment, and the team is ready to impress once again this evening .

"I think we've done that a lot and we've come up trumps in the bigger games," said Snoddy. "Hopefully we'll do that against Tottenham on Wednesday.

"Against Liverpool here we were first class and the fans were as well. It must have been like the Champions League days and the Premier League days again with a full-house and a good performance.

"We know a bit about Tottenham now. They caused us problems for 20 minutes or so down there, but I think they realised we were a good side as well.

"I said afterwards we could be proud, and now we have to do it again. We have the advantage with the crowd and hopefully we can get in there and creat a few chances.

Having the crowd at their back, Leeds united doesnt have but to make a good impression and dedicate itself in the pitch.

100% positive Leeds will score.

Great odd as well.
