powder keg this week with 5 grudge matches each side of the atlantic(boca and psg) and more...I'm back

River Plate vs Boca Juniors-With River Plate looking dumb at mid table while Boca providing the next 2 top scorers trailing some Independiente idiot by 2 and 3 goals respectively while topping the Apertura,I'd take a gamble and go for a 2-0 Boca win.yeah yeah I'm a Boca fan =)

Marseille vs PSG-inconsistency kills.and PSG will teach their rivals a lesson by winning 1-0 or 2-1

Lyon vs Ajaccio-full of Samba football to boot(level amount of Brazillians in their list,5 vs 5,Lyon has 1 on loan and one international),but Carew and Wiltord will make it a no contest.2-0 or 2-1 if lucky

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid-it reads a monster fortnight for the Galaticos.derby,Rosenborg and Valencia.bet them to use a second string side and still win 1-0,or 1-1 if Torres is on form(which he did against San Marino).a even riskier approach is to put Atletico 2-1,which means Torres and Kezman/Petrov again.either way Ronaldo won't have to use his funny goal celebrations against Atletico because they won't let him do it or they will pelt missiles

Schalke vs Bayern-looks innocous,but with Bayern losing for 4 years every time they visit Gelsenkirchen,I think a win won't be attainable.a draw like 1-1 would be closer to expectations

Porto vs Benfica-the main game in the Superliga calenda would most likely be settled with a draw to either side,with a maximum of 2 goals each

Wigan-Newcastle-Wigan taiko or Newcastle bore draw.I think it's 40-60
Chelsea-Bolton-Bolton should find it easy to limit to 1 goal,but not scoring
Liverpool-Blackburn-deadpan look and then I'd assume Pool win 1-0 assuming Pool has no glitches
Sunderland-Man U-0-3 or 0-2
Spurs-Everton-Spurs the better of the lot at 2-1
West Brom-Arsenil-draw 0-0
Boro-Portsmouth-1-0

Birmingham-Villa-1-2 or something,barring any untoward things
Man C-West Ham-West Ham at 2-1 or drawing

Nantes-St Etienne-Nantes should make it at 1-0,any goals from Les Verts then it's a draw
Strasbourg-Rennes-Rennes 2-1
Nancy-Toulouse-a draw seems the most likely.just no bore draws
Auxerre-Troyes-draw or Auxerre win 1-0
Bordeaux-Sochaux-2-1
Le Mans-Lille-Lille should find this ostensibily easier at 2-1
Lens-Nice-no way out.so it's 2-1 to the northerners
Monaco-Metz-3-1 or something

Hamburg-Wolfsburg-Wolf Hamburger sold at the price of a 2-1 win
Kaiserslautern-Dortmund-Dortmund 2-1
Stuttgart-Gladbach-Stuttgart should find this a bit hard but then it tapers to a 3-1 win
Mainz-Leverkusen-Mainz is no match for Leverkusen.but they will score maximum 1 goal
Arminia-Hertha-Hertha 2-0
Bremen-Nuremburg-should there be nothing happening,Bremen win 2-0

Cologne-Hanover-I'd happily go for a draw.0-0 or 1-1
Duisburg-Frankfurt-1-1 at most

Siena-Udinese-Udinese is back,now it's powering to a 2-1 win
Juventus-Messina-3-0 at least.Should Messina score a goal then extend the scoreline to 4-1

Palermo-Chievo-0-0,1-1 or 2-1
Empoli-Roma-Roma should get away with it at 2-0
Inter-Livorno-2-0 barring unforseen circumstances
Lazio-Fiorentina-Fiorentina is slightly better,but not good enough for a win.Neither is Lazio.2-2 at least
Ascoli-Sampdoria-Samp massacre in place.2-0 or 4-0
Parma-Treviso-Treviso win?nah don't risk it.what about Parma?2-1?a draw is better
Reggina-Lecce-1-1
Cagliari-Milan-Milan 2-1

Alaves-Villareal-Villareal is getting better,and this is a key game that they will win comfortably at 2-0
Deportivo-Barcelona-Barca would labour to a 1-0 win,or just about any 1 goal margin thinkable

Betis-Getafe-2-1 for either side.but if you are only allowed to choose 1 team, i'd go with Betis
Zaragoza-Sociedad-2-1
Mallorca-Racing-0-0
Osasuna-Celta-so strong at home,honestly I think Getafe will continue staying on top
Espanyol-Cadiz-Espanyol should find this easier at 2-1
Valencia-Malaga-3-1
Athletic-Sevilla-no home advantage beacuse Sevilla will scoot off with at least a draw
