Sorry everyone that i havent post for one month, but from now i will continue to keep everyone in the wining side. For the first day of Euro 2008:
1. Switzerland - Czech Republic
Last 5 matches for Switzerland:
Switzerland - Liechtenstein 3-0
Switzerland - Slovakia 2-0
Switzerland - Germany 0-4
England -Switzerland 2-1
Switzerland -Nigeria 0-1
Team news: Despite having played 4-4-2 in their two recent victories, against tougher opposition the Swiss are likely to revert to 4-5-1, with Alexander Frei the lone striker and fellow front-man Streller withdrawn for attacking midfielder Hakan Yakin. Tranquillo Barnetta has overcome an ankle injury and will be fit to start, though Johan Vonlanthen's impressive performances during his lay-off may make competition for the left-wing slot fairly stiff. Veteran defender Patrick Müller has looked solid in the warm-up games despite recently suffering a cruciate ligament injury and should prevent Johan Djourou from lining up with Arsenal team-mate Philippe Senderos in defence.
Probable starting: Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Müller, Senderos, Magnin, Behrami, Inler, Fernandes, Barnetta, Yakin, Frei
Last 5 matches for Czech Republic:
Czech Republic 3-1 Scotland
Czech Republic 2-0 Lithuania
Denmark 1-1 Czech Republic
Poland 2-0 Czech Republic
Cyprus 0-2 Czech Republic
Team news: It is likely that the Czechs will not want to risk too much and will therefore start with a similar system to their hosts. Milan Baros will most likely drop to the bench and come on only if they are pressing for a result, with Sionko having earned his place following a brace against Scotland and Plašil also likely to start. Full-back Zdněk Pospěch has the flu and will be sitting out the game, with Juventus' Zdeněk Grygera a possible like-for-like replacement, though Ujfalusi could play at right-back allowing Radoslav Kovac to partner David Rozehnal in defence. With the possibilities continuing, Matejovsky's place may also be taken by a more creative player such as Jarolim.
Probable starting: Cech, Grygera, Ujfalusi, Rozehnal, Jankulovski, Sionko, Matejovsky, Galasek, Polak, Plašil, Koller
Prediction: X2(:congrats:WON)(1.47 - 10BET)
2. Portugal - Turkey
Last 5 matches for Portugal:
Portugal - Georgia 2-0
Greece - Portugal 2-1
Portugal - Italy 1-3
Portugal - Finland 0-0
Portugal - Armenia 1-0
Team news: Cristiano Ronaldo, Simao and Quaresma are likely to provide the inventive force for a lone striker - Nuno Gomes, perhaps - while Bosingwa has recovered to play right-back
Probable starting: Ricardo; Bosingwa, Pepe, Carvalho, Caneira; Veloso, Petit; Cristiano Ronaldo, Simao, Quaresma; Nuno Gomes
Last 5 matches for Turkey:
Turkey - Finland 2-0
Uruguay - Turkey 3-2
Turkey - Slovakia 1-0
Belarus - Turkey 2-2
Turkey - Sweden 0-0
Team news: Hamit Altintop is doubtful after his mucle injury but could yet make the side. Coach Terim will most likely stick with a 4-4-2, with either Senturk or on-form Erdinc partnering Nihat up front. Aurelio is likely to be the lynchpin of the midfield.
Probable starting: Gokhan Zan, Asik, Cetin, Balta; Altintop, Aurelio, Emre, Arda; Nihat, Senturk.
Prediction: 1(:congrats:WON)(1.77 - DIGIBET)
Good Luck!!!
