Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Hannover 96 vs Club Brugge

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Hannover 96 vs Club Brugge
Club Brugge captain Carl Hoefkens believes his side are heading into the Europa League knockout stages at just the right time as they prepare to face Hannover in the last 32.
Hoefkens' side travel to Germany for Thursday's first leg on theback of four straight wins in the Belgian league, which have firmly established them in second place behind leaders Anderlecht.
Hoefkens told his club's official website: "We have a lot of quality in this group. We know we have some quality players up front but we are a solid group and the true Club Brugge is rising."
Christoph Daum's men scraped through a tight group stage including last year's beaten finalists Sporting Braga and have every reason to feel confident of establishing a first-leg advantage at the AWD-Arena.
Mirko Slomka's hosts have been in inconsistent form in the Bundesliga this season and currently sit in seventh place after following two wins with a disappointing draw away to struggling Mainz on Saturday.
They were also often less than impressive in their relatively weak qualifying group, failing to beat either Standard Liege or Copenhagen at home before edging through with a win over minnows Vorskla Poltava.
However former Bundesliga coach Daum is remaining cautious,insisting: "Hannover will start this match as the clear favourite. They are a very good team and they are very well organised."
Hannover are aiming high following the signing of Mame BiramDiouf from Manchester United earlier this season and the return of many of their top players from African Nations Cup duty.
Deniz Aycicek will definitely miss out on both legs for the Germans after suffering a broken toe, but both Christian Schulzand Lars Stindl are expected to recover from recent knocks.
Daum's men are without Mushaga Bakenga who is ineligible having already played in Europe this season with Rosenborg, while goalkeeper Bojan Jorgacevic is also out having not madethe club's UEFA squad list.
Club Brugge have the incentive of a potential last-16 meeting with Belgian rivals Standard Liege, who were also one of Hannover's group stage opponents, if Standard overcome Wisla Krakow.

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Lazio vs Atletico Madrid

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Lazio vs Atletico Madrid
Lazio coach Edy Reja has called up three youngsters for Thursday's Europa League last-32 first leg with Atletico Madrid to help cover a number of absentees.
Injuries have robbed the Serie A high-flyers of defender StefanRadu, midfielders Christian Brocchi, Lorik Cana, Stefano Mauri and Emiliano Alfaro as well as strikers Libor Kozak and Tommaso Rocchi, the Lazio captain.
That has led Reja to include young trio Alessandro Berardi (20), Enrico Zampa (19) and Antonio Rozzi (17) in a 19-man squad for the game in Rome.
"It's not a good situation to have so many players missing," Reja said. "I thought I would face Atletico with a more adequate squad.
"But I have confidence that whoever plays can be relied upon.
"The Europa League is a prestigious competition and we want to go as far as possible."
Lazio go into the clash at the Stadio Olimpico on the back of Sunday's 3-2 triumph over Cesena.
The Romans trailed 2-0 at half-time and were a man down shortly before the break but struck three times after the interval to record a superb win.
The result allowed Lazio to leapfrog Udinese into third place inthe Serie A standings.
Reja nevertheless expects his players to be tested by a team coached by former Lazio star Diego Simeone.
Simeone, who played four seasons at Lazio, replaced Gregorio Manzano at the helm of the Spanish outfit on December 23.
Atletico have yet to lose under Simeone and are on a six-matchunbeaten run that has seen them climb to sixth in La Liga.
"Simeone was a player with great character and personality and he is exactly the same as a coach," Reja said. "Atletico aredoing really well and it's going to be a fascinating game.
"We will try to get the best result possible but we are aware that Atletico have not given away a goal in six games and that is credit to Simeone, who has given the team a lot of security at the back.
"The important thing for us is not to concede a goal."
Atletico defenders Diego Godin and Joao Miranda return to the squad having missed last Saturday's goalless result at Racing Santander through injury and suspension, respectively.
However, midfielder Tiago and team captain Antonio Lopez arestill out injured.
Looking ahead to the match, Atletico wing-back Filipe Luis saidon his club's website: "We know it will be a tough game but the tie is 180 minutes. We are ready and have a good dynamic.The team is confident and know that a goal is important.
"A good result for me is to win but, above all, what matters is scoring a goal away from home. If we can do that without conceding, then better. But again, it is essential to score awayfrom home."

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Lokomotiv Moscow vs Athletic Bilbao

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Lokomotiv Moscow vs Athletic Bilbao
The La Liga outfit have already reached the final of the Copa del Rey, where they will face the might of Barcelona in late May. Of more immediate concern is Thursday night's first leg of their Europa League round of 32 clash with Lokomotiv Moscow in sub-zero temperatures in the Luzhniki Stadium.
Although Lokomotiv have not played a competitive match sincemid-December, given the Russian winter break, Athletic striker Iker Muniain is expecting a bitterly cold and tough encounter.
"They will be fresher, but this also brings with it a lack of rhythm that we already have which could be a big factor," saidMuniain, whose side have lost just two of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
"What's clear is that it's going to be a very difficult game, but we're ready and focused on what awaits us, both with regard to the temperature and our opponents.
"We are going there with plenty of desire. Our objective is not only to get a goal, which would mean a lot for the return leg, but to go for the win.
"We want to do well in the Europa League, to get through the rounds, and hopefully we will get as far as in the Copa del Rey."
Despite their lack of a recent competitive edge, Lokomotiv enjoyed a near month-long training camp in Lagos, Portugal, before heading back to Moscow at the weekend.
Lokomotiv struck 10 goals without reply in two friendlies, beating Atletico of Lison 4-0 and Lagos 6-0, the latter game seeing Roman Pavlyuchenko make his debut following his recent move from Spurs.
Slovakia defender Jan Durica said: "I think we are in perfect physical condition.
"We are up against a decent contender but we need to show character. We need not fear anyone before taking to the field."
The winners, with the second leg in Bilbao next week, will face either Manchester United or Ajax in the last 16.

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Rubin Kazan vs Olympiakos Piraeus

Score Prediction Prediksi Skor Rubin Kazan vs Olympiakos Piraeus

In first leg of 16th finals in Uefa Europa league we can see tomorrow on Olimpiyskiy stadionLuzhniki the match between teams Rubin Kazan and Olympiakos Piraeus. This game will be difficult for Rubin Kazan who has not played official matches lately and end last season on 6th position with 49 points in Premier league, Russia with 40 goals scored and 27 goals conceded while OlympiakosPiraeus has a great season until now in Super league, Greece where is on 2nd position with 49points after 15 games played, 4 draws and 2 games lost with 46 goals scored and 14 goals conceded. Rubin Kazan finish on 2nd position in group A of Europa league with 3 games won, 2 draws and one game lost in a group with teams Paok Saloniki, Tottenham Hotspur and Shamrock Rovers while Olympiakos Piraes end on 3rd position in group F of Uefa Champions league and was in a group with teams Arsenal, Olympiakos Marseille and Borussia Dortmund. Rubin Kazan played a lot of friendly matches and in last four games won with teams such as Bochum, Zestafoni,Lech Poznan and Dynamo Kyiv while Olympiakos Piraeus in last four matches has only victories with 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 results withteams such as Aek Athens, Paok Saloniki, Ergotelis and Panionios. Both teams seems to be in great shape, Rubin Kazan will try to score with forwards such as Nelson Valdez who was tranferred from Hercules in season 2010/2011 and Obafemi Martins who come from Birmingham City a season ago. Ernesto Valverde, Olympiakos Piraeus coach will come in offensive with forwards Kevin Mirallas, Marko Pantelic and Rafik Djebbour but i believe his team will be satisfy with a draw in this game because will play the second leg in Greece. Olympiakos Piraeus defende very well in away games and with a team likeRubin Kazan will try to keep cleansheet, so i expect to see a close game with one or two goals scored and the fate of game to be decided in second half, so i choose option under 2.5 goals.

Competition: Europa League
Odds: 0 : 1/2
Recommended: Olympiakos Piraeus
