Our Bets:
Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United & AC Milan ALL TO WIN – 5/1 Bet365
Value Bet: AC Milan to WIN – 1.95 Expekt.com
The seven time winners of the competition have yet to book their place in the last sixteen so they head into this match with French outfit, Marseille, in a winning mindset, yet they can still be had at glorious odds of 1.95, a touch of odds on. Milan do top the group but only on goal difference, but a win would be enough to bypass this awkward looking group and, although they would have preferred to play FZ Zurich on Wednesday night, Milan have already beaten Marseille in this years competition, a 2-1 win in France, so Milan should be good enough to make it back-to-back wins over Marseille back on Italian soil at the San Siro.
Game Of The Week – Bordeaux V Juventus
Many will circle the Barcelona V Inter game as the match to watch this week but they tend to be dull affairs and preference is for an intriguing fixture which involves Bordeaux, a team top of Group A, and Juventus, who sit currently in second position, four points above Bayern Munich in third. Bordeaux only need a point to secure qualification while Juventus would go through with a victory in France, one that would knock Bayern Munich out of the competition. However, Were Bordeaux to do Bayern a favor and Bayern to do themselves a favour by beating Maccabi Haifa at the same time then it would set up nicely for a winner takes all game on match Day 6 as Bayern Munich head over to Italy to face Juventus in the final fixture of the group, one that could potential decide who goes through.
Bordeaux do have the credentials to do Bayern a favour and they certainly owe them some sort of a refund after beating them twice in the Group stages, winning 2-1 in France and 2-0 in Germany. Juventus, however, are unbeaten on the road in this years Competition, drawing 0-0 at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich and winning 1-0 in Israel against Maccabi Haifa. Another point for Juventus would be ideal as it would mean they only need a point in their remaining game with Bayern Munich to progress, whereas a win would see them go through without any qualms
