MAN CITY v BAYERN  

Manchester City has a lot of important missings for tonight's game as you can see above, but they have to attack in this match. They are in a terrible position in this group and the only way to get back on track is to win tonight against a very strong Bayern Munchen, but an already qualified german team. Their past meetings shows for me that, when Man City was in trouble, Bayern helped them, so I can imagine a home win by one goal ( 5.50 )  | ✓ but firstly with two offensive teams on the pitch I expect a great match at City of Manchester Stadium. 

• both teams to score in first half - 3.75   | ✓

PSG v AJAX

PSG is one of the strongest teams in Europe at home. Ajax is a young, offensive team with technically-gifted attacking players, I think they can score tonight. Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi, Pastore, Cavani are sensational strikers, I can't imagine PSG not to score, so I expect both teams to score... if you want to play bigger odds, you can try "both teams to score in first half" or "both teams to score in second half" 

• both teams to score in 2nd half - 3.40   | ✓

Ricardo van Rhijn is a 23 years old Dutch professional footballer, who plays as a right back for Eredivisie side Ajax and the Netherlands national team. He played 360 minutes in this edition of Uefa Champions League, committing 13 fouls (#2nd player with most fouls committed) and received 1 yellow card. Is very efficient offensively, he likes to cross, his passes are often key passes, but he is vulnerable defensively because he doesn't dive into tackles averaging 3.3 fouls. Tonight he will face technically gifted and quick offensive players, so I see good chances to get a card.. 

• Ricardo van Rhijn to get a card - 3.20 (Unibet)  | ✖

SCHALKE 04 v CHELSEA  

Eden Hazard is a 23 years old Belgian professional footballer, who plays for Chelsea in the Premier League and the Belgium national team. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder and a winger. Hazard is known for his creativity, speed, and technical ability and is described as a "fearless, explosive attacking midfielder who can change the game with a turn of pace or a dribble". He played 354 minutes in this edition of Uefa Champions League, attempted 10 shots on target (#3rd player with most attempts on target) and scored 2 goals. He is one of the best players in Europe in this moment from my point of view, he is in great shape, Chelsea has a good chance to win tonight, they can score 2-3 goals and I hope one of them will be scored by #10# 

• Eden Hazard to score - 3.10  | ✖

SHAKHTAR DONETSK v ATHLETIC BILBAO

Two offensive teams with great attacking players. Athletic Bilbao has to play offensively, to score, to try to get point or points from this match. Shakhtar Donetsk is a good team "at home", I'm sure they will score, I expect a more spectacular match then their last meeting, I think both teams will score tonight... if you want to play bigger odds, you can try "both teams to score in first half" or "both teams to score in second half" 

• both teams to score in 2nd half - 3.75 | ✖
