Monday & Champions League Action

[HinesWard86]

Braga (-0.5 and 1) vs. Leiria -110 Braga is fighting for 2nd place in the Portugese Super Liga, while Leiria is a middle of the pack team just playing out the season. With the possibility of European play in their grasp, Braga will come out strong at home in this one.

Juventus vs. Liverpool (Juventus ML +150) Juventus is one of the best teams left in the tournament, while Liverpool is the 2nd worst team left in Champions League play. Liverpool is banged up and although I usually do not bet on road teams in soccer, I feel confident in Juventus on this one. At the worst here, Juventus holds Liverpool to a draw, so if you're not feeling that confident in a road team, consider the pick em line at -110

Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich (Chelsea ML -130) Roman Abramovich has this Chelsea team LOADED. Just think of Steinbrenner's Yankees. Bayern Munich is just happy to be here though, after getting by Arsenal last round, they will rest on their laurels and succumb to a great Chelsea team. Chelsea not only gets this game at Stamford Bridge but Bayern Munich's best player Patrick Kluivert is out as well. Look for a derby of goals from Chelsea here.

klivert is not a bayern player,but pizzarı is out and makkay questionable.

Thanks Chriscol, you're right twice I confused Claudio Pizzari with Patrick Kluivert. My mistake, thanks for catching it.

Braga wins 1-0, half of bet won, half refunded.

Juventus loses 2-1. Liverpool just played a great first half and made 2 beatufiul goals. Juventus will go through though, giving up that late goal really hurt Liverpool. Return leg early prediction: Juventus 1 Liverpool 0

Go Blues indeed, they're my biggest Champions League play to date this year. Plus we didn't see a favorite win yesterday, and since I doubt that anyone will win the Milan derby (0-0 draw), one of the favorites has to step up and win. I predict a 3-1 Chelsea victory.

Chelsea wins 4-2, nice week for me thus far. BS goal at the end might come back and haunt Chelsea though, that was a blatant dive.
