ACL - Group F: Buriram United v FC Seoul preview

ACL - Group F: Buriram United v FC Seoul previewBuriram: Buriram United coach Alexandre Gama has urged caution ahead of Tuesday’s AFC Champions League Group F opener against Korea Republic’s FC Seoul despite the Thai quadruple winners looking to make full use of home advantage at Buriram Stadium. 
Buriram won all four trophies on offer in the 2015 season in Thailand as Gama’s side claimed the Premier League title, FA Cup, League Cup and season-opening Kor Royal Cup to earn a fifth consecutive AFC Champions League appearance. 
 
And 2013 AFC Champions League quarter-finalists Buriram have made the ideal start to the new season after beating 2015 Thai Premier League runners-up Muangthong United 3-1 to retain the Kor Royal Cup on Saturday thanks to goals from Brazilian Diogo, Venezuelan Andres Tunez and Jakkaphan Kaewprom. 
 
"We are well prepared for this big and first game of this tournament. We just hope for the best result. Anyway, we can't assume how the game is going to be,” said Buriram coach Gama, who took charge of Buriram midway through the 2014 domestic season. 
 
"Even though Korea's tournament has not yet started, we are not going to open the game by attacking them, because from my personal experience, they are ready to fight. And before coming to Buriram, they had a lot of friendly and training matches. 
 
"FC Seoul is a very strong team, but playing in our home stadium is our strength, so we are not going to keep our eyes on anyone specifically.”

The Group F opener also sees Buriram reunited with former defender Osmar Barba, who is now the FC Seoul captain after the Spanish defender left Thailand for the Korean capital at the end of 2013. 
 
"For Osmar, I have heard about him. He won many championships with Buriram United and has had great success in Korea so we are not going to underestimate him,” added Gama. 
 
“However, we also have good players such as Andres Tunez or the other players as well.” 
 
Barba spent 18 months with Buriram from July 2012 and won the domestic quadruple in 2013 after also helping his side become the first Thai club in a decade to advance to the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League earlier that year. 
 
“I am very excited to be back at Buriram and the expectation is that tomorrowwill be a good game,” said FC Seoul captain Barba.

FC Sion vs Braga betting preview

Unknown 0 07:35

In our FC Sion vs S.C Braga Betting Preview we look at the best possible bets between the two sides. 
 
Braga fans make the 2000 mile round trip to Sion, in hope of seeing their side continue their impressive form of late. The Portugese side lost just 1 of their last 18 in all competitions, and have won their last 3 games in a row. They beat Maritimo by 3 goals to 1 in their last game, with Portugese striker Pedro Santos scoring twice in that game. The 27 year old forward is likely to be on penalty duty as well which makes the 21/2 available at BetVictor for him to score first a huge price! 
 
FC Sion come into this game not in the greatest of form. They are in 6th place out of a league of just 10 games, and are there because they are very inconsistent. Their last 5 games include 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw, so the result tends to depend on what team decides to turn up. On top of that they haven’t won in their last 3 games in the Europa League either, but managed to finish second in a group which included table toppers Liverpool. This competition is likely to be of the highest priority to the Swiss team, but whether they have the quality to get the better of Braga is questionable. I think Braga will qualify over the 2 legs, and may edge the match tonight in the away league. A 1-0 win to Braga is 7/1 at BetVictor, and that seems a good price, as well as just putting Braga to win at 19/10

Dynamo Kiev vs Manchester City - Preview and Prediction

Unknown 0 07:34

Dynamo Kyiv will also have the luxury of playing in front of their home fans as it was earlier expected that this game will be played behind closed doors after UEFA sanctioned the punishment of playing two European games in an empty stadium fir various offences. This was was later reduced to one match and has been served against the group stage fixture against Tel Aviv. 
 
Manchester City go into the game from a huge 5-1 loss to Chelsea on Sunday in the 5th round if FA Cup, in a match where Citizens fielded a young side in dissent to English FA’s scheduling of their match ahead of a lengthy travel to Ukraine on Monday. Manuel Pellegrini will hope to turn things around this time which give themselves a chance of winning a silverware in his final season at the Etihad. 
 
Dynamo Kyiv have been on an excellent form, winning their last 5 matches and conceding only one goal. I guess this will be a morale boosting statistics for the players and fans. They played their last competitive match in December as the team went on to the winter-break since then. 
 
Dynamo Kiev x Manchester City Team Form Head to Head Comparison Champions League Match 24-Feb-2016 by LeagueLane 
 
Manchester City are not having a convincing form as they have been average in their last six matches, loosing their last match heavily to Chelsea as it ended 5-1 in favour of Chelsea. Their form in the Premier League is also questionable as they suffered back-to-back defeats to Leicester City and Tottenham. Morover, they have struggled in every away match this season. 
 
Dynamo Kiev : Team News 
 
Vitorino Antunes, Olexandr Rybka and Andriy Yarmolenko are all doubts but they hoping Yarmolenko will be fit in time to start the game. 
 
Key Player : Dynamo Kiev 
 
For Dynamo, the key man is Yarmolenko who has racked up 13 goals and 9 assist and it has turned out as a sensational season for him. 
 
Manchester City : Team News 
 
Manchester City are plagued with a long list of injuries. Samir Nasri, Wilfred Bony, Eliquiam Mangala, Jesus Navas, Kevin De Bryune, Fabian Delph, Bakary Sagna are all out with their respective injuries. Never the less, they still have a star studded IX at their disposal and the return of Kompany and David Silva have already given them hope, coupled with the emergence of young striker Iheanacho. 
 
Key Player : Manchester City 
 
For Manchester City, the key player is Aguero who scores at will and has 14 goals to his name in this campaign 
 
Both teams have only met twice since their existence, which was Europa League round of 16 in 2011. Both team were victorious at home but the Ukrainians progressed to the next level on 2-1 aggregate. 
 
These two managers had never met themselves before, this would be a good chance and opportunity for a face off. 
 
Dynamo Kiev vs Manchester City : Prediction 
 
Dynamo Kiev have been on 9 match unbeaten run at home in Europe competitions since February 2014, and have also been on an excellent form, where as Manchester City have been backsliding of late, loosing three straight matches. 
 
I think the game will end in a stalemate 1-1. 
 
What’s your Prediction ?

PSV Eindhoven vs Atletico Madrid - Preview and Prediction

Unknown 0 07:30

PSV Eindhoven have qualified for the knockout stages for the first time since 2006-07 season, when they went as far as quarter finals before being eliminated by Liverpool after losing on both away and home. 
 
Since Diego Simeone was installed at the helm of Atletico Madrid, they have grown into a real form both domestically and in Europe. They last year’s campaign witnessed them losing out in quarter finals by 1-0 aggregate score to city rivals Real Madrid. 
 
PSV are currently top of the Eredivise just a point clear-off Ajax after 24 matches into the season. They have only lost once in the 24 league matches, the defeat coming against Heracles on September 2015. 
 
They were drawn together with Manchester United, CSKA Moskow and Wolfsburg in the Champions League Group B this year and have won all of their home matches, but failed to win any of the away matches. They qualified as second placed team with 10 points knocking out European power house Manchester United. 
 
Atletico Madrid are currently second in the Spanish La Liga after 25 matches, 8 points below leaders Barcelona and 1 point above third placed Real Madrid. When coming against the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Rojiblancos have failed to win in any of the 3 matches, as they lost twice to Barcelona and draw one at home against Real Madrid. 
 
In the Champions League this year, they were drawn in an easy group alongside Benfica, Galatasaray and Astana and qualified as league winners. They have won 4 matches, draw one and lost to Benfica at home. 
 
PSV Eindhoven vs Atletico Madrid : Head-to-Head Stats 
 
PSV Eindhoven vs Atletico Madrid Head to Head Stats Champions League Match 24 Feb 2016 by LeagueLane 
 
PSV and Atletico were drawn together in the group stages of the 2008/09 ediction of the tournament. Atletico won both the ties, 3-0 at Eindhoven and 2-1 at Madrid. 
 
Historically, PSV hold a strong record at home in European Competitions against Spanish sides as they have only lost once in 12 meetings and that too against Barcelona in 95/96 season. 
 
PSV Eindhoven : Team News 
 
PSV will be without the services of striker Luuk de Jong, as he serves his one-game suspension. The Dutch side are also sweating on the fitness Lestienne and Poulsen. 
 
PSV Eindhoven Predicted line-up vs Atletico Madrid (4-3-3) 
 
Zoet – Brenet, Moreno, Bruma, Arias – van Ginkel, Hendrix, Propper – Locadia, Narsingh, Perriero. 
 
Atletico Madrid : Team News 
 
Augusto Fernandez and Tiago will miss this match due to their respective injuries. While Yannick Carrasco is a doubt after the ligament injury he suffered against Getafe. 
 
Diego Godin and Stefan Savic who returned from their respective injuries in the 0-0 draw against Villarreal is expected to start at the center of the defense once again. 
 
Atletico Madrid : Predicted lineup vs PSV Eindhoven (4-4-2) 
 
Oblak – Godin, Savic, Felipe Luis, Juanfran – Correa, Saul, Gabi, Koke – Torres, Griezmann. 
 
PSV Eindhoven vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction 
 
Atletico Madrid will go as slight favourites based on their good form in Europe this season. While PSV should not be considered as a pushover as they have won all of their three group matches in the competition this season. Moreover, the Dutch side haven’t lost to a Spanish opposition at home since 1996. 
 
This match has every prospect of ending in a draw and my prediction is a 1-1 stalemate.
