Napoli vs. Legia Warsaw
Napoli has been doing great in the group so far, achieving five wins with impressive goal difference of 17:1.

We expect the Italian team to make the sixth consecutive victory and continue its winning streak. Our football forecast is 1.

Groningen vs. Braga
Groningen has won only one point so far, while Braga are the leaders in the standings with 12 points.

Our soccer prediction is 2.

Liberec vs. Marseille
That`s the other match according rugby-predictions of the group.

Before the game from basketball picks against Southampton for the German League Cup assured that coach was pleased with the performances of the Belgian national who is already the third year in a row is number 1.
`Now, it is the appropriate time to talk about goalkeepers in Liverpool.`, reported Klopp. `I am quite satisfied with the situation on this position.`
`We`re not looking for another goalkeeper. We have enough players at the position. I`ve had a lot of goalies in my years of coaching and Simon Mignolet is one of the smartest under my leadership.`
`He is completely opened and young enough to develop, to get better. He was in the simplest situation before I came, but since I`ve been here, there`s nothing to criticize him.`, added the coach.
Mignolet had to endure criticism about his performance against Bordeaux in the Europa League last week. The French then scored after an indirect free kick in the penalty area, measured for the Belgian holding the ball too long.

Van Gaal believes in Leicester

The surprise leader in the English Premier League, Leicester, apparently has earned the trust of the Manchester United manager, Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman announced before the game of United with the 'Foxes` that this team has the strength to become the champion.
'Normally this type of teams is able to withstand a long time, but in the end it becomes difficult for them. Here in the UK, however, all clubs adviced by sport tips have the money to players, so the difference between them is not as great. So I believe Leicester could become a champion.`, said van Gaal.
The Dutch specialist is concerned mainly by the quality of Jamie Vardi. 'Last year he caused us problems, causing a penalty kick, and now has 10 goals. I`m only familiar with Dennis Bergkamp, who had similar achievement when playing at home in Ajax.`, van Gaal said.

Manchester United vs PSV Eindhoven

Manchester United is going to welcome PSV Eindhoven at Old Trafford in a match of group B of the Champions League. Take a closer look to our soccer prediction.
Manchester United started with a loss in the group against PSV, but then won the 7 points that brought them the 1st place. So the Red Devils are in need of success in the upcoming game that will send them into the knockout stages. The unpleasant news about Louis van Gaal are associated with injured players in the camp of Manchester United. The match with PSV because of injuries will likely be missed by Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia, Michael Carrick, Phil Jones, Ander Herrera and James Wilson and Juan Mata. After its good performance over the weekend, the attack of the Red Devils against his former team will be led by Memphis Depaj. The young Jesse Lingard does it once again will get the confidence of Louis van Gaal on the right wing of the attack on United. Ashley Young is expected to start again at right-back and Wayne Rooney will act in the midfield of the Red Devils.
PSV Eindhoven made a very important success against Wolfsburg in the previous round with 2:0. So they are back in the fight for the rankings ahead of the tournament and with six points they came on 2nd place. Because of problems with the knee injury at Old Trafford, the coach will not be able to rely on the Vilems. With an injury before the fight is also Koch. Because of family problems, Maxim Lestien authorised by management at the end of October to be absent. The Belgian player still hasn`t returned to the ranks of PSV and with this rather limited selection of the coach. Before his absence, Maxim Lestien scored 8 goals in 6 matches and this undoubtedly is a big problem for his team. His place on the left wing of the attack will be taken by Jurgen Lokadia.
Albeit with some problems because of injuries, Manchester United is a big favorite in the derby. PSV has a bad lineup, but played hard in its guest appearances in Europe. They rely mainly on the head in frontof their audience and we expect to have some problems at Old Trafford.
Our soccer forecast by sport-tips is 1.

Hannover 96 vs Hertha

Hannover 96 is going to host the team of Hertha in the first match of the 12th round of the German Bundesliga. Both teams are completely equivalent and we will get a good match in a result.
Here is our soccer prediction.
Hannover 96 made a nightmarish start of the season, but in the last few rounds, the team managed to get out of the danger zone. The team is currently on 14th position with 11 points in the asset, as 10 of them won in just the last five rounds.

In the last round, Hannover 96 made its third success since the beginning of the season, after the team outplayed Hamburger with with 1:2. The senior coach Michael Frontcek has no serious problems with the structure of the starting lineup, but Hiroshi Kijotake, Prib and Carlison Bensop are still injured.

For an upcoming visit, the senior coach of the guests - Pal Dardaj won`t be able to rely only on Ibisevic and all other holders are on the line, even in the game by sport tips is back and one of the main strikers Salomon Kalou.
Our soccer forecast is 2.

Elber: 'It is impossible for Lewandowski to keep such a goal streak.`

The legend of Bayern Munich, Giovane Elber is sure that the striker Robert Lewandowski will not be able to keep his incredible goal form that he has been demonstrating these days.
The Polish national 'exploded` in the last three games mentioned by basketball picks in which he scored 10 goals, including a spectacular 5 in even the more remarkable 9 minutes against Wolfsburg.
'Everything just got to him.`, said Elber. 'This is the dream of every lineman - to be on the place in which he should be. Robert copes with this task, otherwise we wouldn`t see those 5 goals against Wolfsburg.`
'Everyone passes through these phases that last 2 or 3 weeks, maybe a month. He`s not going to keep a similar goal in the course of the entire season. It is not within the reach of anyone. Days will come, in which he will not be so successful. Then it is important just to keep the peace.`
'Lewandowski has already learned what it`s like to play in Bayern and under the guidance of Guardiola. Of course, even in Dortmund he was world class. Last summer, however, everything about it was new-setting teammates, the tactical system. Now he is familiar with everything and knows what is required of him.`
'He is active and not limited to playing in the penalty area and so constantly came to the event. Bayern coins even play without the typical "nine". That was the thing that Robert had to adapt. Guardiola was certainly aware of his qualities and what possibilities the game with Lewandowski opens. Naturally, when attackers everything is measured by the goals, but when Pep and behaviour on the pitch there is no less a burden.`

Empoli vs Atalanta

In a meeting of the fifth round of the Serie ?, the team of Empoli is going to welcome Atalanta. This is the latest date in the intermediate range, before which Empoli was on the 14th position, while Atalanta is on the 12th place. Here is our soccer forecast.
Empoli and Atalanta started the season poorly and for the past four rounds, both teams managed to have only one victory. The home team is pretty desperate right now and it will be one of the major teams that will fight for survival in the current season. The team, managed by Marco Dzampaolo is one of the worst defenses in the League and earned per game in at least two goals at their door. In the past fourth round of the Serie A, Empoli had its first win as a guest since the beginning of the campaign, after beating Udinese with 1:2 with a fair amount of luck - defeated goal in the 92nd minute and kicked a man from Udinese.
Atalanta allowed only one loss so far, but far from home, the team is not too convincing. This is probably the only problem of Atalanta in the upcoming duel, though the team is much classier than Empoli and owns several good players into the face of Hermann Dennis, Raimondi, Morales, Stendardo and others.
Against each other Empoli and Atalanta have played a lot of times as the latter four of which we`ve seen dominance of Empoli - 2 draws and 2 wins. Their last meeting here ended in a goalless draw, but history remembers a fairly effective fight, as we expect to be present.
Our soccer prediction adviced by sport-tips.net is over 2.5 goals.

Annika Beck took the title in Canada

The fifth placed German Annika Beck won the tournament in Quebec, Canada, at the category "International".

At the final she won convincingly Jelena Ostapenko from Latvia with 6:2, 6:2 for 53 minutes. Beck lost the first two games, but then took the remaining 12, to the end of the match from sport predictions 14.

"Throughout the whole week I have Improved my game. I am happy, that at the final I have resisted the pressure and I have managed to win," said the 21 years old German.

For Annika Beck this is the second title of her career. She returned to the Top 50 under No43, while the finalist Ostapenko debuted in the Top 100.

Ajax vs Celtic

Ajax is going to welcome the team of Celtic at Amsterdam Arena in a meeting of the group A of the Europa League. Here are our soccer picks according soccercapper.org for that event.
Ajax removed the Czech Jablonec with the total score of 1:0 in the groups of the tournament. The boys of Frank de Boer gradually have gained speed during the season and launched quite successfully in the local Eredivisie. Ajax is the leader in the standings with 13 points from four wins and one draw. Before the derby with Celtic, the Dutch can boast of good domestic form in the European tournaments. In the last 5 fights at home, Ajax has won four and lost only 1 - this season in the UEFA Champions League by Rapid Vienna with 2:3. The derby with Celtic will be missed by Bazoer because of a penalty. In its absence, Frank de Boer will bet the scheme 4-2-3-1 with Lasse Sone who will operate behind a sole striker. The dilemma for the coaching staff of Ajax is the one to lead the team. Milik Arkadius will be the titular, but in the weekend Victor Viser entered as a reserve and scored two goals, which may well give him the titular place against Celtic. The left back of Ajax - Mitchell Deeks returned to the starting lineup after missing the weekend derby with Twente.
Celtic dropped from Malmo in the playoffs of the Champions League and so ended up in the Europa League group tournament. The start of the season for Clovers is not very successful, and after the failure against the Swedes, they have problems and in the Scottish Premier League. Celtic lost in the weekend visit of Aberdeen with 2:1 and found itself on the second place with five points behind the dons. Before the visit to Ajax, the team of Ronnie Delia appeared in pretty unpleasant form in the visits in Europe. Celtic has won only two of their last 15 visits to the tournaments, and now is arriving on the forbidding Amsterdam arena. Ronnie Delia won`t make many changes in the team, as the only places of Mulgrew, Lustig and Bleket are questionable. In the camp of Clovers, there are no problems with injured or suspended players.
Ajax is moving into pretty good shape and certainly is the favorite in the derby. Celtic in turn has serious difficulties in their subsequent appearances in Europe and definitely there will be some serious problems in the Amsterdam Arena.
Our soccer prediction is 1.

Villarreal gave no chances to Granada

Villareal continued its good start in La Liga and in the third round, where it defeated Granada as a guest with 3:1. 'Yellow submarine` has had no defeat in the Spanish elite, yet and the game was solved with two quick goals after the break.
The midfielder Manu Trigeros was at the heart of the success, as in the 49th minute opened the scoring. Samu Kastijeho sampled left by the attack and left the ball for the penalty box before Trigeros. There was a kick-off at the bottom right corner, which was beyond the goalkeeper.
Two minutes later, the hosts` defense led to a mistake, in which the ball was given as a present to Trigeros. He without delay went to Cedric Bakambu before the penalty, and it was not difficult for the latter to score for 2:0.
Comic appearances in defense of Jean-Sylvain Baben got back Granada`s hopes of a quarter of an hour before the end. The player reacted very poorly to the series in the penalty area and delivered a ball of Fran Rico, who with a right foot shot Alphonse Areola.
In injury time of the match, Villarreal put the point of the dispute through the reservation, which formed the final according footballcapper.org 3:1.
In this way, with 7 points, Villarreal remained third in the standings and a second Real Madrid only on goal difference. Granada in turn registered a second consecutive loss and with three points is 9th in the ranking.

Borussia Moenchengladbach vs Hamburger

Borussia Moenchengladbach is going to welcome the team of Hamburger in a meeting of the fourth round of the German Bundesliga. Here is our soccer prediction.
Borussia Moenchengladbach started pretty lame this season in the Bundesliga. Colts recorded three defeats by Borussia Dortmund (4:0), Mainz 05 (1:2) and Werder Bremen (2:1) and available at the last 18th place in the standings. In view of the poor performance and the problems that there are with some key players of the team manager, Lucy Favre will resort to some changes in the team. Martin Strancl will be launched as a holder in the center of the Defense after a five-month absence through injury. Lars Stindl will replace in midfield penalties Granite Jacks. Azhar will appear in the attack of Borussia Moenchengladbach at the expense of Patrick Herman, who is injured. Because of injuries, Fabian Johnson and Alvarao Dominguez will miss the match as well.
Hamburger had one victory and two losses in its first meetings. It seems that this season the Dinosaurs won`t be among the strongest teams in the Bundesliga and will rather fight again to remain in the group. Before the visit to Borussia Park, Bruno Labadia has had a few problems with his staff. Jaroslav Drobny will be launched at the door because of the injuries to the other two goalkeepers - Rene Adler and Andreas Hircel. The central defender, Emir Spahic is punished and in its place will appear the Brazilian, Kleber. The weak form of Lewis Holtbi will force Bruno Labadia to leave him reserve at the expense of the new addition Aaron Hunt, for who this will be the official debut with the team of Hamburger. Because of the injuries out of the Dinosaurs are still Artem Rudnevs and Ronnie Marcos.
Borussia Moenchengladbach has a pretty solid stock and place on the bottom in the ranking does not suit it. It`s time to wake up against hosts Hamburger SV and achieve the first win in the Bundesliga this season.
Our soccer forecast mentioned by sport-tips is 1.

Wolfsburg takes Schalke 04 at the "Volkswagen Arena" in a meeting of the third round of the German Bundesliga. Chief Judge of the match will be Felix Brych. The odds for the game via sport predictions offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.00 for a home win, with a draw at 3.80 and 3.50 for the victory of the guests. The two teams come into this derby in absolutely equal positions in the standings, with 4 points collected after two rounds.

Wolfsburg failed to win its visit to Koln a week ago, and finished 1:1. Wolves will have to defend the second place from last year`s campaign and soon will start the challenge called the Champions League. The big question for the manager Dieter Hecking is whether he will be able to keep the best star of his composition - Kevin De Bruyne, who continues to be linked with a multi-million transfer to Manchester City. If the transfer happens, the Wolves will give a higher chance on their new signing Max Kruse. Dieter Heking has no reason to make changes in his composition.

Junior Caicara will keep his place at the right-back and in attack, Breitenreiter again will rely on the duo Franco Di Santo and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Football tips - 16.07.2015

Cherno More Varna vs. Dinamo Minsk
Cherno More Varna will have a tough rival in the second qualifying round, but we think they can make draw in their household. This is not the best result, but it`s realistic. Dinamo Minsk is a very serious team who is considered a favorite from this pair. The Bulgarian team, however, is very compact and very out in defense, so at least home draw is the most likely outcome of this match from sport-tips.net as we have already said. Our football forecast is X.

Koper vs. Hajduk Split
The guests are simply the better team. This was shown in the last round when rivals of both teams were teams of roughly the same level. Hajduk won with a total score of 7:3 while Koper continued forward with much effort. Koper showed very weak performances at the end of the season, when they earned a point in his last six fights. It looks like the team has not fixed itself since then. Our soccer prediction is 2.

Vojvodina vs. Spartaks
It is extremely difficult to play as a guest at the stadium of Vojvodina. The Hungarian MLC Budapest found out in the first qualifying round, where they kept a draw at home but as guests were defeated easily. And the Hungarians are the stronger than the Latvian Spartaks. The guests have very little European experience and it will be hard for them today. Our soccer forecast is 1.

KR Reykjavik vs. Rosenborg
Rosenberg is perhaps among the most powerful teams participating at this stage of the race. The best Norwegian team in recent years now occupies the convincing first place in the ranking, so next season we think that they will probably play in the Champions League. The Icelandic COR Reykjavik is the third in the Championship. We expect the guests to defeat quietly as a guest and we do not worry about the household, just as happened in the first round. Our football prediction is 2.

Unfortunately, the last 33rd round of the championship has not developed as planned and Napoli was surprisingly outplayed completely from located on the 15th place Empoli with 4-2, as lagging with 3-0 on the first half. After this defeat, the boys of Rafael Benitez will try to return to the intrigue for the third place with victory over the tragic presenter Milan. Moreover, Napoli lost once from Milan in December last year as guests and now wants to take revenge. Rafa Benitez will not be able to use all of the available stock.

Without "El Clasico" on the semi-finals of the Champions League

The two Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona passed each other at the draw for the semi-finals "couples" of the Champions League. "The Royal Club" meets Juventus and Barcelona will face against the "Bavarians" Bayern (Munich).

Juve reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time after 12 years of absence. In 2003, "Bianconeri" eliminated "the royal club", which in that time was again the current leader on the continent. Real Madrid has not excluded an Italian rival in the elimination phase from 28 years. The team fro Madrid proved stronger than Napoli on the last campaign and in the next seven meetings Italians always come out as winners.

Guardiola backs to his favorite "Camp Nou", in which achieved so much as a player and coach. Barcelona seeks revenge against the Bavarian machine, as before two years ago Germans dealt with Barca with a total score of 7:0.

The two teams played three eliminations in the modern times of the Champions League. In 1995/96 and 2012/13 the Germans continue forward. In 2008/09 Barcelona with Guardiola sweep Bayern and subsequently takes the trophy. In the history remains a clash in the group stage in the 1998/99 season, when the Germans win the two matches.

The specialists talk about Real Madrid - Barcelona final. Such a spectacular clash of the grand finale will be the first in the history.

Final of the Champions League this year is on 6 June in Berlin.

Barcelona - Bayern Munich (6 and 12 May)

Juventus - Real Madrid (5 and 13 May)

Monaco vs Juventus - Champions League

Monaco and Juventus are going against each other in a decisive second match of quarterfinals in the Champions League. A week ago in Turin, Juventus won with 1:0 after a goal by Arturo Vidal from a controversial penalty. Actually, Dimitar Berbatov and friends are considered outsiders. Anyway, there may be some surprises today, so we recommend you get prepared - use our soccer picks adviced by sport predictions !
Monaco failed to win victory against Rennes in Ligue 1 during the weekend in a 1:1 draw. A goal in the 87th minute deprived Monaco of an additional dose of self-confidence before the second leg with Juventus. The duel with the Italians will be surely missed by the injured Traore Lasina, Tiemu Bakajoko, Jeffrey Kondogbia and Jeremy Tualan. The lack of the final two will deprive the Leonardno Jardim of options in midfield as they normally are the principals in his scheme. So the Portuguese Manager will bet on a certainly more offensive scheme and will rely on the quick attacks on the wings by Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Matthaus Carvalho. The Bulgarian footballer, Dimitar Berbatov will be the main threat to the Italian defense. After the error for the penalty kick a week ago, the experienced Ricardo Carvalho will remain on the bench and his place in the centre of defence will be taken of the Brazilian Wallace, who will be partnered with Abdenur Ajmen.
Juventus almost got the title in Italy after the success over the second team in the standings, namely Lazio with 2:0 at the weekend. Now Max Allegri and his staff can fully 'channel` the forces of the team in the Champions League. The visit to Monaco, due to injuries, will be skipped by Kvado Asama, Martin Caceres, Romulo and last but not least, Paul Pogba. Because of the absence of the latter, in the midfield we will again see Roberto Pereira. In attack, Allegri will trust the rapid Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez, who will have the task to harass the clumsy French protection.
We expect a tactical deception in which we will hardly witness the result match. The bet on the derby`s huge, but both teams can boast with a strong game defensively. In view of this, we expect less goals, probably fewer than 2.5 - that is exactly our soccer forecast.

Juventus vs Monaco

In the first match of the quarterfinals in the Champions League Juventus is going to face Monaco. That duel is a wonderful opportunity for you to multiply your cash, thanks to our football picks analyzed by basketball picks .
Both teams have reached this phase in the fittest tournament on the old continent, after previously suspended the powerful configurations of Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal.
Juventus is on its way to conquer its fourth consecutive Scudetto of the domestic scene. But the team`s dream of the triumph in the Champions League. The 'old lady` ranked and a final in the tournament for the Cup of Italy and in front of the team it was discovered the incredible opportunity for a treble this season. The boys of the coach Massimiliano Allegri perform very highly so far and are considered by the experts for hidden favorite to win the Cup in the most prestigious European club tournament. The big missing in the team of the 'old lady` would be Paul Pogba. The French midfielder has an ankle injury that took him out of the team until the end of the season. The experienced Andrea Pirlo and Andrea Bardzali also have minor injuries and it will be decided at the last minute whether they will play or not. Out are Martin Cazares and Kvavdo Asamoa. In the camp of Juventus, the coach will again rely mostly on the duo of Carlos Tevez`s and Alvaro Morata.
Monaco is one of the pleasant surprises in the Champions League so far. The French fired the English Arsenal in the previous round and now yearn to take the scalp of another European Grand. The guys of the coach Leonardo Jardim have had no loss in four straight games and will try to continue their good performance and on Italian land. The good news about Monaco are associated with Jeremy Bakajoko Tulalan and Temue which are cured by injuries and will be available in Turin. The Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov did not appear in the game over the weekend in the match against Caen which was won by 3:0 and can be saved for this clash. With the names of Tulalan, Berbatov and Joao Moutinho are connected the hopes of Monaco for success in this first quarter-finals.
Our football forecast is 1.

Blackburn - Liverpool (FA Cup)

Blackburn Rovers takes Liverpool at the stadium" Ewood Park" in a replay match of the quarterfinals of the Cup of Football Association. Before a month ago, the two teams failed to score at "Anfield". The game is on Wednesday - April 8, 2015 and the odds offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 5.75 for a home win, with a draw at 4.00 and 1.67 for the victory of the guests.

Blackburn won with the classic 3:0 in his visit to Leeds in the last round of the Championship. Despite this success, "the Riversiders" have no chance of ranking in the Premier League. In a view of this, the upcoming game looks like the most important for Rovers.

The manager Gary Bowyer will not be able to rely on Jay Spearing since he is part of Blackburn on rent from Liverpool. Because of injury the match misses Jason Lowe. With problems in the camp of Blackburn are five players - Grant Hanley, Craig Conway, Rudy Gestede, Joshua King and David Dunn. Late fitness test will decide whether of some of them will be available to Gary Bowyer.

Liverpool almost lost his participation in the Champions League this autumn after losing in his visit to Arsenal with 4:1 and now is seven points behind the top 4. Liverpool still hopes to win only the FA Cup, but those hopes go through success at "Ewood Park".

For the visit to Blackburn, Brendan Rodgers has serious problems with the composition. Martin Skrtel, Steven Gerrard and Emre Can are suspended. Jordan Ibe doesn`t have the right to participate in the tournament, while Adam Lallana and Mario Balotelli are questionable, because of injuries. Dejan Lovren will get a starting place and will partner in central defense with Kolo Toure and Mamadou Sakho. Daniel Sturridge returned again to the starting lineup of Liverpool despite his poor form lately.

Before a month ago, the two teams finished the previous match without scoring a goal, but now have to get a winner. We believe that the class of Liverpool is much bigger and is against the wall, which will motivate the team to take the victory of "Ewood Park".

Borussia Dormund disappointed its fans over the weekend after boring a goalless draw in their stadium against Cologne.

Jurgen Klopp will throw all the best available in the second leg with Juventus with the thought of success that to rank his team forward.
The derby against Juve will be missed of Nuri Sahin, Lucas Piscek and Kevin Groskrojc because of injuries. The absence of the latter two is uncomfortable for Klopp as the coach of Borussia relies mainly on the position of right-back. In view of this, in the starting lineup again we will see the young Oliver Kirch. Kevin Kampl will be probably start the holder because of his better form, and Shinji Kagava will remain on the bench - the experts think.

Barcelona secured his final for the Cup of Spain after a victory over Villarreal with 3:1 as guest in the week. Unfortunately, Sergio Busquets has been injured in this meeting. Spanish international will recover quickly, but will miss the match against Rayo Vallecano. Instead, in the middle of the pitch will see Javier Mascherano and his place in the middle of defense will take Jeremy Mathieu. Because of accumulated yellow cards, penalty received the Brazilian star Neymar. Pedro will replace him in the starting line-up and will operate on the left flank of the attack of Barca. Luis Suarez will take a position in the center of Barcelona`s attack and will seek a fourth goal for his team. Thomas Vermaelen got a new injury and will not be available to the coach Luis Enrique.

Rayo Vallecano took a nice win last weekend over Levante with 4:2. Four goals for Rayo Vallecano in this match and all scored by Alberto Bueno, as all fell within 15 minutes in the first half.

Schalke 04 - Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)

Everybody in Gelsenkirchen want to forget the match with Real Madrid in the Champions League played during the week and lost with 0:2. Schalke has been aware that has a minimal chance against white ballet and now has to concentrate on the battle for the Top 4 in the Bundesliga. Now at "Veltins-Arena" arrives convenient rival, who has been defeated with 3:0 in the autumn. Schalke fans hope of an easy victory, but the form of Werder Bremen in the New Year is deadly. We expect endlessly exciting match of the 22nd round of the Bundesliga. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.05 for a home win, with a draw at 3.50 and 3.60 for the victory of the guests.

The defeat from Real Madrid was expected and now Roberto Di Matteo has to adjust his team to battle on the home front. In the game against white ballet, Italian specialist has available the star of Schalke - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. For the matches in the Bundesliga, the Dutchman is suspended and will not play against Werder. This means that Eric Choupo-Moting will be the only striker for Schalke against Werder. He will be assisted by the rear edge of Kevin-Prince Boateng and Tranquillo Barnetta. In the camp of hosts still have quite injured players. Because of injuries, the match against Werder miss Jefferson Farfan, Julian Draxler, Chinedu Obasi and both goalkeepers Ralf Fahrmann and Fabian Giefer. In their absence Timon Wellenreuther will start in the frame. He showed good class against Real Madrid and Di Matteo should be calm for the presentation of the goalkeeper. Despite his weak performances against Real, central defender Joel Matip will keep his place among the holders of Schalke.

Fifth consecutive victory in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen came against Augsburg (3:2) and now the team takes the 8th position in the standings, only 3 points of the places entitling participation in tournaments. All of the camp of Bremen are delighted with the work of Viktor Skrypnyk and can be safely said that Werder is the pleasant surprise of the spring season. Now for this important visit on "Veltins-Arena", Skrypnyk is not being able to rely on the injured Philipp Bargfrede, Melvyn Lorenzen, Marnon Busch, Alex Galvez and Ozkan Yildirim. Assani Lukimya-Mulongoti will earn a place in central defence and in midfield will be the young Felix Kroos.

The composition of the hosts has important absences, which can affect on the performance of Schalke. Werder Bremen is in great shape and we think that guests will leave with a point or three from the forbidding "Veltins-Arena".

Prediction Schalke - Werder Bremen: X2
Security: 6/10
