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.

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.
