What's worth watching this week?
Week 17
Barcelona - Chelsea FC
UEFA Champions League Semifinals 2. leg
Camp Nou
24-04-2012 at 19.45 BST
Head-to-head (last 10 matches):
Barcelona: 3 victories / 15 goals
Draws: 4
Chelsea FC: 3 victories / 13 goals
After last week’s Chelsea victory in the first leg, some would say that the pressure is on Barcelona. However, I would still put pressure on Chelsea. It is going to be interesting to see, if the Londoners can keep Barcelona away from the goal in ninety minutes. It is going to be David against Goliat, and this time, the giant is going to win. I am looking forward to see a goal show from the Catalan offensive. Worth watching!
Real Madrid - Bayern Munich
UEFA Champions League Semifinals 2. leg
Santiago Bernabéu
25-04-2012 at 19.45 BST
Head-to-head (last 10 matches):
Real Madrid: 3 victories / 11 goals
Draws: 2
Bayern Munich: 5 victories / 12 goals
Bayern won the first leg with a late goal by Mario Gomez and goes into this match with a 2-1 victory. Munich has played well in the UEFA Champions League the last couple of years and might surprise at Bernabéu on Wednesday night. However, Real Madrid will do anything to be in the final and Bayern Munich will have to fight with everything they got. This could turn out to be an entertaining and hard played match! If Munich is able to close down for Ronaldo, it might lead to a win. Looking forward to this one!
Wigan Athletic - Newcastle United
English Premier League Round 36
JJB Stadium
28-04-2012 at 15.00 BST
Head-to-head (last 10 matches):
Wigan Athletic: 3 victories / 10 goals
Draws: 2
Newcastle United: 5 victories / 13 goals
Even though, Wigan is positioned in the lower part of the English Premier League, they have shown the selves as ‘top team killers’. Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have all lost to the Latics this season, and Newcastle could be the next. Wigan needs three points to get further away from relegation, and in the other end of the table, Newcastle can move in on Arsenal and thereby the third position on the league. The interesting about this match is to see if Newcastle can beat Wigan or if it is going to be another surprising Wigan win.
Celtic FC - Glasgow Rangers
Scottish Premier League Round 35
Celtic Park
29-04-2012 at 12.45 BST
Head-to-head (last 10 matches):
Celtic FC: 4 victories / 15 goals
Draws: 3
Glasgow Rangers: 3 victories / 13 goals
Even though, Celtic is way ahead of Rangers in the league, the Old Firm is always worth watching. The tension between the two clubs is displayed in the stands, every time they meet, and there is a special atmosphere around the match. Last meeting ended with a 3-2 victory to Rangers and was some kind of a match with a red card and two goals in the last minutes. Hopefully, this watch will present some of that excitement. Defiantly worth watching!
Udinese - Lazio
Serie A Round 35
Friuli
29-04-2012 at 19.45 BST
Head-to-head (last 10 matches):
Udinese: 3 victories / 19 goals
Draws: 4
Lazio: 3 victories / 20 goals
Udinese and Lazio are currently positioned as number three and four in the league, with two points separating the two teams. However, this may change doing the midweek round. Udinese and Lazio are known for their close matches, and this one might be just another one. Both teams have some deadly strikers in and Antonio Di Natale and Miroslav Klose, both able to be decisive in this match. It is hard to say if this will end as a boring draw or a goal show. However, you have to watch to find out!
