31.03. - 01.04. 2012. Darko Bodul (Šturm) prvi strelac austrijske lige

Za nase citaoce od ovog vikenda pogađa Darko Bodul (22), najbolji strelac austrijske prve lige. Rođeni Sarajlija fudbalsku karijeru započeo je u Vieni, odakle se seli u holandski Herenven, pa u Ajaks. Svakodnevno druženje sa Miralemom Sulejmanijem, koje nije propustio da spomene, prekinuo je poziv iz Šturma, u kojem je do izražaja došao sav golgeterski talenat. Devet golova u prvenstvu, tri u Kupu, bili su dovoljni da Bodul dospe u žižu austrijske fudbalske javnosti i da mu iz Saveza već pošalju „mig“, koji šeretski nastrojene Sarajlije razumeju bolje od reči: „Nadaj se pozivu u reprezentaciju“.
- Raskrstio sam sa Hrvatima, za čiju mladu reprezentaciju sam već igrao – kaže Bodul. - Za mene sada postoji samo austrijski državni tim i nadam se da ću uskoro dobiti zvaničan poziv.
Debi na nasem blogu možda je nagoveštaj za debi u dresu Austrije.
- Ko će da pogodi ovu ligu, u kojoj se šest ekipa bori za titulu - pita se Bodul. - U ovom kolu izdvojio bih jedinicu na Vaker, na čijem terenu gostuje slabi Kapfenberg, ali i na moj Šturm protiv Rida, jer igramo baš dobro kao domaćini.

31.03. - 02.04. 2012. Ovog vikenda kreće nova sezona u najboljoj Švedskoj ligi

Zimski san gotov je i za Šveđane. Najbolja liga ove skandinavske zemlje startuje za vikend, a sa njom ćemo da se družimo tokom skoro cele godine. Upravo zbog toga pokušali smo što detaljnije da vam predstavimo švedske prvoligaše i njihove šanse u novoj sezoni.
Rekli bismo da su najveći favoriti dva najtrofejnija prvoligaša, Geteborg sa svojih 13 i Malme sa 19 osvojenih titula (20. bi mu donela pravo da na dresove prišije drugu zvezdicu). U pitanju su dve ekipe sa “najvrednijim” sastavima, mada je činjenica da Malme ima ubedljivo najskuplji tim u ligi. Udarne igle Malmea trebalo bi da budu napadači Larson i Ranagi, vezisti Pekalski, Hamad i Durmaz, defanzivci Janson i Rikardinjo, kao i golman Dalin. Geteborg u svom sastavu, od “zvučnih” imena ima samo kapitena i golgetera ekipe Hisena i iskusnog vezistu Farneruda.

KVOTE ZA PRVAKA
Geteborg 4,00
Elfsborg 4,40
Malme 4,70
Helsingborg 5,50

31.03. (Sat) 15:30 Nurnberg - Bayern Munchen

Bongarts

PROBABLE LINEUPS

NURNBERG Schafer Feulner, Marroh, Wollscheid, Pinola  Balitsch, Simons  Chandler, Didavi, Hlousek Pekhart

BAYERN MUNICH Neuer Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba  Tymoshchuk, KroosRobben, Muller, Ribery Gomez

Dieter Hecking will be without attackers Alexander Esswein and Christian Eigler who both miss out through injury. The team is otherwise unchanged from the side that lost 1-0 to Stuttgart last weekend.

Bayern Munich continue to count defenders Breno and Daniel Van Buyten among their absentees, though the later is undergoing rehabilitation following a broken metatarsal.

Bastian Schweinsteiger could make his return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines but it remains likely that Luiz Gustavo will make way for Anatoliy Tymoshchuk in midfield. Rafinha could also be used to give Philip Lahm a rest ahead of the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

DID YOU KNOW?

• After a run of three consecutive wins, Nurnberg have lost their last three Bundesliga games. 

• Der Club remain unbeaten in their last three home games against Bayern Munich. 

• Only Kaiserslautern have scored fewer goals than Dieter Hecking's side in the Bundesliga this season. With a total of just 25, Mario Gomez has only scored two less.

• Bayern Munich boast the Bundesliga's most potent attack with an impressive 66 goals in their 27 games so far this season.

• The Bavarians have not lost in their last eight matches against Nurnberg in all competitions.

• Bayern have only won six of their 10 league matches since the turn of the year. This form has seen them drop further behind reigning champions Borussia Dortmund.

31.03. - 01.04. 2012. Predrag Jokanović (Madeira, Portugal) pred derbi u Lisabonu

Kao što sam rekao pre par nedelja, u Bragi se „pale“ da mogu da budu prvaci. Ova ekipa je konačno na vrhu, a ukoliko iskoristi umor Benfike od meča Lige šampiona protiv Čelsija, može u Lisabonu da ostane neporažena. Inače, Bragu posle ovog gostovanja očekuje težak raspored. Fiks kola je samo Porto, dok u drugoj ligi slobodno zaokružite Moreirense i Portimonense.
