15-10-2011 BOJAN ZAJIĆ (VALERENGA, NORVEŠKA) TIPUJE NORVEŠKU LIGU

NORVEŠKA 1 Valerenga - Viking     1, 3+ Lilestrem - Stabek     1 Molde - Od Grenland     1, GG HAUGESUND - FREDRIKŠTAD     GG Sogndal - Stromsgodset     1, 2-3 Sarpsborg - Tromso     2 ROZENBORG - ALESUND     1 Start - Bran     1, GG Pet kola je do kraja šampionata, a Moldeu malo nedostaje da teoretski obezbedi titulu. To bi moglo da se desi već ovog vikenda, a sigurno je da bi lider to voleo pred svojim navijačima. Ipak, Od Grenland je u odličnoj formi, pa nisam uveren u trijumf domaćina. Fiks kola je kec na Rozenborg, koji kada već teško može do prvog mesta, barem želi da osigura izlazak na evro-scenu. Mislim da je izvestan i veći broj golova na susretu Haugesunda i Fredrikštada, jer je domaćin na svom stadionu izuzetno ofanzivan, a na mečevima gostiju redovno ima pogodaka.

15-10-2011 FILIP PODOLSKI, NOVINAR IZ POLJSKE TIPUJE POLJSKU LIGU

MOJ TIP Podbeskidzje - Krakovija     1x2 Leh - Korona     1 Belhatov - Slask     2 Polonija V. - Gornjik Z.     1 Visla K. - Jagielonija     1x Zaglebje L. - Lehija     1 RUH - LEGIJA     2 Viđev - LKS Lođ     1 Legija ima problem kada se sastaje sa slabijim protivnicima, za razliku od jačih. Od četvrtoplasiranog Ruha je mnogo bolja, a dodatni motiv imaće u tome što je od istog rivala proletos poražena na svom terenu, iako je vodila 2:0. Leh je veliki favorit protiv Korone, jer se zna koliko je teško gostovanje ovom klubu, a i krajnje je vreme da neko prekine seriju Korone. Slask je lider, a svi u Poljskoj su počeli da pričaju o njemu kao o timu koji može do titule. Fizički i taktički je veoma spremna ekipa, mada sam siguran da će Belhatov da igra sa “150 odsto” svojih mogućnosti.

12.10. (Wed) 02:50 Venezuela - Argentina

messi-higuain (argentina)

PROBABLE LINEUPS

VENEZUELA   Vega Rosales, Amorebieta, Vizcarrondo, Cichero Alvarez, Rincon, Arango, C. Gonzalez Fedor, Rondon

ARGENTINA Andujar  Burdisso, Demichelis, Otamendi Zabaleta, Sosa, Mascherano, Rojo, Messi, Higuain, Di Maria

The Vinotinto team to face Argentina will have a rather different look to that which toiled in Quito. Cesar Farias plans to change all 10 outfield players who started Friday's 2-0 defeat, with goalkeeper Renny Vega the only man to appear in both starting XIs.
Argentina will welcome back Martin Demichelis and Javier Mascherano following their enforced absences against Chile. The Barca man completed a one-match suspension after being sent off against Uruguay in the Copa America, while Demichelis was left out as a precaution after fainting during training. Ever Banega and Rodrigo Brana give up their places, while coach Alejandro Sabella considers a switch to a three-man defence in order to take the game to the hosts.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Venezuela have played Argentina 19 times, and the historical record does not smile upon the Vinotinto.

• Argentina have won every single game played between the two nations, the most recent being a 1-0 win in Kolkata thanks to a goal from Nicolas Otamendi (pictured).

• The biggest ever victory was an 11-0 humiliation in the 1975 Copa America, with aptly-named defender Daniel Killer netting a hat-trick. 

• Before his goal against Chile on Friday, Lionel Messi had not found the net in an official international since a 4-0 victory over Tuesday's rivals back in March 2009.

• The Vinotinto's biggest stars, including Juan Arango and Salomon Rondon, are back for this game after Cesar Farias took the unusual step of picking a separate squad for their first match against Ecuador.

• This 'B' team was composed of players the innovative coach believed would better withstand the altitude of Quito; but it did not pay off as Ecuador cruised to a 2-0 win.

• Venezuela are currently the only team in the Conmebol region not to have appeared in a World Cup.

• Argentina, meanwhile, have lifted the trophy on two occasions, 1978 and 1986, and only in 1970 have they failed to qualify; although they withdrew from contention between 1938 and 1954 for various political and administrative reasons.

Prediction

Argentina will have to work every second to beat a tough Vinotinto, but their class up front should be enough to secure a narrow victory.

Venezuela 1-2 Argentina

Bolivia

v

Colombia

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Arias Vargas, Raldes, Rivero, Gutierrez Flores, Robles, Campos, Edivaldo, Escobar Martins		Ospina Zuniga, Perea, Yepes, Armero Guarin, Sanchez Ramos, G. Moreno, D. Moreno Gutierrez
KEY FACTS
Bolivia lost their first game of qualifying last week, falling 4-2 to Uruguay in Montevideo. The team has not qualified for the World Cup since the 1994 tournament in the United States.  The Bolivians are still looking for their first victory of 2011.		Colombia defeated Bolivia in this year's Copa America, winning 2-0 as Radamel Falcao bagged a brace. Teofilo Gutierrez will start at striker in place of Falcao, who will be on the bench for tactical reasons, due to the Racing man's ability to posses the ball, according to coach Leonel Alvarez. Since the Copa America, Colombia defeated Honduras 2-0 in their only friendly.

Chile

v

Peru

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Bravo Jara, Ponce, Contreras Isla, Vidal, Beausejour Fernandez, Valdivia Pinilla, Suazo		ButronRodriguez, Acasiete, Yotun, Revoredo Balbin, Cruado, Vargas, Farfan Guerrero, Pizarro
KEY FACTS
Claudio Borghi's men started off qualifying with a 4-1 defeat to Argentina in Buenos Aires. Chile have lost three straight games, falling to Spain and Mexico in friendlies and losing on Friday to their neighbours to the east. In qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, Chile defeated the Peruvians twice.		Sergio Markarian's men are off to a cracking start in qualification, dominating Paraguay to the tune of a 2-0 victory at the weekend. Paolo Guerrero scored two goals in the fixture. Peru fell to Chile in July during the Copa America as Andre Carillo's 90th minute own goal awarded the Chileans the 1-0 victory in the group stage.

 

Paraguay

Uruguay

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
D. Barreto Piris, Da Silva, Veron, Marecos E. Barreto, Riveros Perez, Ramirez, Estigarribia Santa Cruz		Muslera M. Pereira, Lugano, Coates, Fucile Perez, Gargano, A. Pereira  Forlan Suarez, Cavani
KEY FACTS
Paraguay are looking for revenge against their opponents, having lost to Uruguay 3-0 in the Copa America final this year. In the 2-0 loss to Peru in the first game of qualifying, the Paraguayans did not manage a shot on goal. The team last defeated Uruguay in a 2007 World Cup qualifier, winning 1-0 after an early Nelson Valdez strike.		Oscar Tabarez's men have scored at least three goals in their last three games, all victories.  Defender Diego Lugano scored twice in the 4-2 victory over Bolivia on Friday. Uruguay are undefeated in their last nine contests.

11.10. (Tue) 21:00 France - Bosnia and H.

Panoramic

PROBABLE LINEUPS

FRANCE Lloris Reveilliere, Kaboul, Rami, Evra Diarra, M'Vila Remy, Nasri, Malouda Gomis

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA Begovic Papac, Spahic, Mujdza, Lulic Misimovic, Zahirovic, Rahimic Pjanic Dzeko, Ibisevic

An already depleted France squad have been rocked by further injury woes ahead of the winner-takes-all clash at the Stade de France. Patrice Evra, Adil Rami (both thigh) and Yohan Cabaye (ankle) all picked up knocks with the latter expected to make way for Alou Diarra in the heart of midfield.

Laurent Blanc was without Kevin Gameiro and Eric Abidal for Friday's convincing 3-0 win against Albania. Gameiro, out with an inflamed knee, is doubtful to face the Bosnians, whilst Abidal may not be risked, with the management adherent to parent club Barcelona's request. Loic Remy and Bafetimbi Gomis are set to continue filling in Gameiro and the injured Karim Benzema.

Bosnia coach Safet Susic has said in the build-up to the crunch game on Tuesday that he could be set to make some changes. The majority of the side who featured in Friday's crushing 5-0 win against Luxembourg are expected to start, with Adnan Zahirovic and Boris Pandza set to take part at some stage to add some defensive steel to the side.

DID YOU KNOW?

• A depleted France side secured a convincing 3-0 home win against Albania thanks to goals from Florent Malouda, Loic Remy and Anthony Reveilliere.

• Les Bleus top Group D with 20 points, a single point ahead of nearest challengers and opponents Bosnia & Herzegovina.

• France are unbeaten in 14 internationals, stretching back to the opening round of qualifiers last September. Belarus secured a shock 1-0 win in Paris.

• Laurent Blanc's men prevailed 2-0 in Sarajevo in the corresponding fixture. 

• France will qualify for Euro 2012 if they avoid defeat to the Dragons at the Stade de France. A win for the visitors will see them pip the hosts to the top of the group and to Poland/Ukraine leaving Laurent Blanc's men to negotiate the play-offs in November.

• Bosnia & Herzegovina thrashed Luxembourg 5-0 on Friday evening to stay in the hunt for automatic Euro 2012 qualification.

• The big win ensured that the Bosnians stretched their unbeaten run to five games, also not conceding a goal in that time.

• The eastern Europeans have never qualified for a major tournament as an independent nation. They could do so if they beat France - something they are yet to achieve in three attempts.

Prediction

A spate of injuries has proved to be no difficult barrier to overcome for France as they comfortably swept away Albania. Though Bosnia-Herzegovina are sure to provide far sterner opposition, Les Bleus can count on their vociferous home support to stumble across the finishing line. At the very least, Laurent Blanc's men should be able to grab the point they need to make it to Euro 2012. For Bosnia, an unlikely victory could well happen due to the hosts' defensive problems, but at the minimum, they need to ensure that they do not choke at the final hurdle, as was the case in 2009 against Portugal.

Editor's Prediction

France 1-1 Bosnia
