Match: Maccabi Haifa 0-1 Juventus
Venue: Ramat Gan (Maccabi home)
KO: 7.45pm GMT (Tuesday)
Verdict: Anyone who has seen Juventus this season will agree that there is something not quite right with the Old Lady. A defeat against Napoli at the weekend sapped already dwindling confidence, which makes the high price on the Israeli champions all the more bizarre.
Advice: 1pt Haifa to win at 6/1 (7.0 at Ladbrokes)
Match: AC Milan 1-1 Real Madrid
Venue: San Siro (Milan home)
KO: 7.45pm GMT (Tuesday)
Verdict: With Marseille hoping to get back into this group against Zurich tonight, both these sides know that they cannot afford to lose, which makes the draw an attractive bet, particularly considering Christiano Ronaldo is out injured.
Advice: 2pts draw at 12/5 (3.4 generally)
Match: Lyon 1-1 Liverpool
Venue: Stade Gerland (Lyon home)
KO: 7.45pm GMT
Verdict: It is do or die for Liverpool tonight as a loss guarantees that they will be playing in the Uefa Cup this season (if they don't finish bottom). However, there is hope. Lyon have not been the most consistent of performers. despite sitting in second in the French Ligue 1, they have struggled of late - being hit for a 4-1 defeat at Nice and even losing at home 2-0 to Sochaux in their last three games. Liverpool - even without Steven Gerrard - should have the beating of them. The price is affected adversely by Lyon winning at Anfield (which was a bit of a fluke) and both Bordeaux and Marseille winning impressively last week. I say, go for Liverpool.
Advice: 2pts Liverpool to win at 21/10 (3.1 at BlueSq, 888Sport and Coral)
Match: Fiorentina 5-2 Debrecen
Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (Fiorentina home)
KO: 7.45pm GMT
Verdict: Debrecen travel to Italy with barely 16 players in a depleted squad that is already out of contention in the Champions League, and has almost no chance of a Uefa Cup place, either. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will look to France nervously as they see a situation where they are level on points with a Liverpool side they must still face and also have to overhaul Lyon's 6-pt goal difference. I'd imagine they'll be thinking goals, goals, goals, here.
Advice: 3pts Fiorentina (-2) at 11/10 (2.1 at Bet365)
