Need to see if I can get a ticket for the return leg for West Ham vs Sevilla, hope Martial is fit for that game.
I got:
Barca > Galatasary. Barca is on an upward trajectory and Gala been off it in the Turkish league. Barca my favourites to win it all
Betis > Frankfurt. Betis playing some of the best football in Europe. And I really think they can make a deep run in this tournament. They just need to hold on strong and they could be CDR winners, EL winners and finish in the T4.
RBL > Spartak Moscow. RBL got too much fire power at the moment.
Porto > OL. This is a tight one but I think Porto has more big game European experience to see them over the line. The Aly Sissoko derby.
Bayer > Atalanta. If Atalanta had the likes of Zapata and Josep fit, then it’s a different story. Both teams got shaky defenses but Bayer I’m giving the edge.
Belgrade > Rangers. I think the Serbs grit their way out to a win here although I’d like to see Rangers make a deep run for the sake of my Naija boys.
Monaco > Braga. Monaco just have way more quality than Braga at the moment. da Luz Horta could be a handful for the Principality club though.
West Ham > Sevilla. Tough call here, but I think Sevilla will pour all of their eggs into La Liga. They have nothing to prove in EL, while WHU have fallen off the T4 race in the Prem. I think Moyes goes all out for EL.
