The 1st legs of Champions league quater finals is finally upon us, on first glance I seems to fancy all the home teams to pull a win or a draw. Suprisingly all look very underish to me! You can’t win a tie in the first game but you can lose it, that sentence is probably hovering in each manager’s minds. The home team will try to defend as to not concede an away goal while the away team might play a counter attack tactic and try not lose in a big margin!
I like the looks of Arsenal as they finally found their scoring abilities, Thierry Henry is always a joy to watch even though I’m not an Arsenal fan! Missing from today’s linesups on the Gunners camp are Sol Campbell, Freddie Ljungberg, Jose Antonio Reyes, while Emmanuel Adebayor is cup-tied. Juventus on the other hand is missing Alessandro Del Pierro (key striker) while influential midfielder Pavel Nedved is suspended. Patrick Viera will make an emotional return to Highburry after quitting the Gunners to join Juventus last season, I’m sure the sentimental feeling will end once the whistle is blown at the start. Arsenal were lucky to get a few extra days of rest after their match against Portsmouth during the weekend was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Fresh and ready to roll, I see an Arsenal victory at -1/4 Asianhandicap 2.19.
