- Steaua are first in the Romanian League. Their team is excellent this year. Their striker Keseru is leading the top-scorers table with 11 scored goals in 11 played matches. He scored 3 in Europe League too! They have real quality players! Rio Ave are playing average this season, and they are in the middle of the table in the Portuguese League. I really don't expect them to do something in this match. Steaua on home ground, easy win for them.
21:05 Partizan - Besiktas X2 (1.60)
- Partizan are doing really well in the league, they are leading the table with 8 wins 0 draws and 0 lost matches! But they are really not "grown up" for the European stage. I can add that they are missing 3-4 important players for this match. On the other side, Besiktas are first in the Turkish League too, with 4 wins and 2 draws. They have more experience in European tournaments and I expect them to outplay Partizan in this match. Their midfielder Sahan, and attacker Demba Ba are playing really impresive, while the defence is defending very well.
