leginten Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Group H (Barcelona and AC Milan) is done and dusted, but the other three of tonight's groups all look interesting. http://news.bbc.co.u...les/default.stm In Group E it's a straight shoot-out between Chelsea and Valencia to qualify; Valencia need to win at Stamford Bridge. Either team can still finish first if Leverkusen don't win in Genk. Group F is more complicated. Arsenal have won it; Marseille, Olympiakos and Dortmund can still qualify. Dortmund need a four-goal win against Marseille and an Arsenal win in Greece, neither of which seems all that likely. Marseille don't need to win in Dortmund to make sure of second place unless Olympiakos also win. In Group G Zenit St Petersburg will qualify if they avoid defeat in Porto. Porto need to win, as they're currently third. Apoel Nicosia have qualified and will finish top if they win at home tonight. Think the Porto and Dortmund games could be the evening's best viewing.

Gigolo-Aunt Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Cant see Valencia getting a result in London, but suppose you never know. Would like to see Dortmund getting through in their group. They are a decent side, although a cutting edge was lacking in the games I have seen of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a decent side, although a cutting edge was lacking in the games I have seen of them. Chelsea need a win or a no score draw. Valencia are bound to score against that defence. Can they score at least the same as Chelsea? I'll watch that game I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Chelsea 1 - 1 Valencia. Valencia will go through . But a 0-0 would put Chelsea through even though points in the group were level, the head-to-head was level and Valencia had the superior goal difference? Because Chelsea scored an away goal in the head-to-head, presumably? Very harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Because Chelsea have been so consistent there. Chelsea are not as bad as some think. They still have players who can hurt teams. Granted they do look a bit suspect at the back, but still think they will go through. No real fan of Chelsea but I do feel for the new manager. A few ex managers ignored the ageing squad and let certain players have way too much say in what goes on. Hopefully he is given time to get players in.

Totally agree, they do have some world class players, but with the way AVB wants them to play I think Valencia will definitely catch them out. Soldado only needs a half chance to punish them. Every team that has went to Stamford Bridge this season has had a chance of upsetting them and the good teams have. Valencia are a lot better than some people think. I predict a 2-1 away win.
