This tip seems like a ‘cert’ to us, yes Shakhtar aren’t going to be able to reproduce their 7-0 thrashing against BATE today, but in front of their home crowd and will a largely unchanged squad surely they can bag a few more. Luis Adriano netted 5 in the reverse fixture and will start again today, with Porto and Athletic Madrid also occupying the group every single point is vital, goal difference may be the deciding factor. BATE will be "eager to restore their reputation" tonight and look good to score against a weakened Shakhtar defence, looking to attack will however only leave them open at the back, Adriano will be liking his lips at that prospect.

Sporting Cristal have won either half in their last 3 away games which they have also scored 3 in each. Sporting Cristal are undefeated in their last 7 league games. They are in great scoring form and face second from bottom Universidad San Martin. We expect Sporting to have most of the position tonight and really put the pressure on a poor San Martin. A win for Sporting tonight will put them 1 point behind league leaders Alianza Lima.
As always Barcelona are huge favourites, the world wide support sees bookies dropping odds in the hope of luring punters into a false sense of security, Barcelona will not win with ease tonight, the odds represent no value and we firmly believe Ajax have a chance here. The loss to Barcelona was their first in 6 within the Champions League, previous fixtures saw them draw with the likes of PSG, Milan beat Celtic and most importantly beat today’s opponent Barcelona by 2 goals to 1. The visitors have won just 1 of their last 5 away games within this competition and head into this off a 1-0 home loss to Celta Vigo, they aren’t at their best right now but need to be to overcome a solid host. Ajax will put up a fight tonight and need to score at least once to have a chance of picking up a point. If you aren't sure of this take Ajax with a +2 Asian Handicap at 1.50.
These 2 sides have met each other 3 times in the past 12 months and the score line has been over 1.5 each time. Sarmiento have only lost once in their last 5 away games and have scored 2 goals in each of their last 2 on the road. Sportivo Belgrano are bottom of the league with a goal difference of -11. Their home form is inconsistent and their away form is abysmal. Only one game in their last 7 home games has been under 1.5 goals. We certainly expect the Sarmiento to turn the screw on the home team and score around 2 goals themselves.
A 7 goal thriller saw Schalke emerge with the spoils during the reverse fixture, all thanks to a very late (93’) penalty winner, they were expected to take something from the game but in the end actually got more than they deserved. Scoring 3 away from home was very impressive, the Portuguese side proved they were a force to be reckoned with and at home today we expect them to snatch back the points. Schalke’s injury list continues to grow, Draxler is the latest addition and sees the team weakened yet again, they just about beat poor Augsburg in the Bundesliga last week and are deserved underdogs today. Both sides look likely to get on the score-sheet today, the hosts looking good for at least 2 or more.
We looked to tip against San Jose in their last fixture against Na score but a 2-0 result proves to us just how poor they are away from home, we won’t ignore it this week. Universitario are solid at home, they have not lost on their patch in 4 now and head into this off a very impressive 2-1 away win to strong side. Blooming. San Jose continue to only pick up wins at home, today they face an even tougher test than that of last week and we cannot see them picking up anything here.
These are the most in form side playing today. They have won 6 matches in a row and are undefeated in their last 12. Independiente have a goal difference of +23 after 12 league games. Independiente have not lost on the road this season and have scored 9 in their last 5. Home side Deportivo Quito are extremely inconsistent and despite not being bottom, they have the worst goal difference in the league of -16. Deportivo lost the reverse fixture 2-0 4 weeks ago. This is basically the worst team against the best based on statistics so far this campaign.
