Istanbul Basaksehir have lack of experience on international scene, that is maybe a reason why they are defeated in first leg against Sporting, they scored one goal in first leg, but unfortunate for their fans, before that three goals finished in the net of their goalkeeper. In second leg, Istanbul will be without their standard attacker Crivelli, he is suspended, same as Sporting defender Neto. Sporting Lisbon have a lot of experience, they have fantastic advantage of two goals from first leg, and I am sure in this match they will be more careful in defense, Cabral and Sporar will be in attack, I expect similar result as in the first leg. Two goals advantage for Sporting will not be surprising result for this duel.
The home side are in their second season back in the Championship after relegatin from the Premier League.

Napoli are starting to find their mojo under Gennaro Gattuso and seem like a solid bet to finish above their current Serie A position of eighth. Even when they were in the doldrums domestically at the start of the season, they were able to inflict defeat upon Liverpool in Italy. Given Barcelona's struggles in knockout round Italian ties in recent seasons, we're optimistic about Napoli's chances. Back the home side in a draw no bet wager.

Liverpool looks to be en route to end a long await and finally win a title and the win against Manchester City in the previous round was a great boost to the team.

Kenny Jackett's men, who now look capable of challenging for a place in the coveted top six, have won four of their last five at home, scoring 12 and conceded five in the process. They've also kept a clean sheet in each of their last two in front of a home crowd, which given that their opponents both occupy places in the top six, is pleasing.
The disadvantages of us not playing the league's top teams in our home stadium and in familiar surroundings, even with 27,000 Albion fans very unlikely to be present at the Amex, are very obvious. Clearly, we must accept there may also be some benefit from playing our remaining four away matches at neutral venues but the fixture list simply isn't equally balanced at this stage of the season, and we didn't play our first 29 matches of the season in this way.
I will take this -2 AH on the hosts because they had a really good season last season and played in continental competitions thanks to those performances last term but already exited that competition, now their full focus is on the league where after 8 games played they are 5-0-3, and even though they lost 2-1 to San Jose lately in the league they were strong enough to defeat strong Millionarios side from Colombia with 1-0 at home recently plus they have a very good record at home against Petrolero.

Bayern munchen II is for me first favorite to win the promotion to the Bundesliga 2 cause they are playing the best football in the league right now and they played draw in last round versus Braunschweig only because they played with 10 players from the early first half but even that was not enough for very good team Braunschweig to beat them at home so I really don't see the way how bad team as Zwickau is going to stop Bayern from winning and I need to take this low odd because there is no handicap bets on the hosts

Millwall have been impressive under Rowett, but they have only lost twice across their last 10 matches. Their improving form has been building for a while, which gives them a great chance here.

Today will be playing match between teams Newcastle United and Manchester City. My prediction for this match is away team to win. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons why I chose to play this tip. Manchester City must to win here if they want to have a chance for 1st position where is currently Liverpool with 9 points more than City. City have great players and really good goal difference 37:14, they scored almost 3 goals per match and I think they can score here also 3 or more goals. Home team have only 15 points and they will probably fight to survive in league, to stay above relegation zone, but I think they will not be able to take any point from this match.

De Jong - he next season of Barcelona and this season of a complete and utter disregard of the concept of pressure – led the Dutch charge.
