Champions league & EPL Weds 23rd Feb....

[Garf79]

A great night of football on Wednesday 2 games in the Champions league and 3 matches in Premier League. The two European fixtures look pretty tasty! With Man Utd traveling to Spain to play Athletico Madrid and Benfica Hosting Ajax. Both matches will be good games and hopefully plenty of goals, although I am not sure we will see many and predict both games will be cagey affairs. I will go 2-1 Man Utd and the same score line for Ajax.

The EPL see's 3 games with Burnley hosting Tottenham and with both teams coming off the back of good wins will be a tough match. I think Tottenham will just edge this one though.

Watford V's Palace will also be a good game with both teams looking to avoid relegation and fighting for the points. Calling the result in this game is hard but what I do think is it will be a dirty game with a lot of players being booked. So my tip for this match is 5+ players to be booked.

Liverpool host Leeds at Anfield and this is Liverpool's game in hand and need the win to close the gap on Man City. So they will be going all out for the win and Leeds will still be recovering from their defeat by Man Utd on Sunday in very bad weather conditions. I think this may have an effect on the game and it would not surprise me to see Liverpool score over 4 goals in this match. As long as Liverpool can handle the pressure, which I think they will this should be an easy win for them.
