A Merseyside Derby in the FA Cup, with Liverpool as favorite. The last meeting between the two teams ended with a 3-0 victory to Liverpool, but I doubt this will happen again. Liverpool is without Pepe Reina and second keeper Doni, leaving a lot of responsibility on the third keeper Brad Jones. Everton is in good form at the moment and may be too large a mouthful for a weak Liverpool team. Last time the two teams met in the FA Cup, Everton won 1-0 in overtime. I’m putting my money on Everton in this match. They simply seems stronger at the moment.

A top clash in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund is heading for their second championship in a row, and no one seems to be able to stop them. Schalke is currently positioned as number three in the German Bundesliga, and a win will be vital for them, to keep Mönchengladbach off distance. Dortmund has not lost in five matches, and I do not see them loosing this one. They are unbeaten in the last twenty-four matches, and no one is going to stop them. Dortmund wins.

This weekend’s second FA Cup semifinal is between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea FC. The bookmakers have kept the odds pretty close, and it can be hard to see which of the team will win this. The last two meetings between the teams ended in a draw, and this one might as well. Both team will do everything to win this, as they both could be out of the silverware battle in the Premier League. However, I am afraid this match could be a deadlock and therefore I would put my money on a draw.

Danish Superliga

The classic Jutland Derby between AGF and Aalborg BK.  AGF is back in the Danish Superliga after a season in the 1. Division, while Aalborg cleared from relegation in the last minute last year. Aalborg has started the season in great form, but has fallen apart and is currently positioned as number seven; while AGF is positioned as number five. Aalborg won last week against Silkeborg on a hattrick from Nicklas Helenius while AGF had a draw against FC Copenhagen. Helenius could play a vital part of this match as well, if he can keep up his goal form from the last match; however, the two teams often plays very tight matches. I think Aalborg could win a small victory against AGF, but it is going to be really tight.
