Quick predict..

Russian side Rubin Kazan will at best get a point against FC København in their game today. I would be more comfortable saying that the Danes will get the three points though. Inter Milan will most likely win at home in Italy against their Dutch challengers FC Twente. Despite injuries, the Italians will most likely win. I would rather see the Dutch take advantage of Inter's slipping form, but the chances of that happening aren't too high. In Germany, when Schalke 04 take on French side and leaders of Group B Lyon, it may all come down to how well Raúl González performs. Schalke's good home performances thus far in the competition may illuminate the way this match will turn out, but Lyon did edge the Germans out the last time they met. Valencia v.s. Bursaspor meanwhile offers another good game in which I would say that the Spaniards will get the three points. The home field advantage should be a boost as should Bursaspor's dismal performances thus far: no goals, no points. Hapoel Tel Aviv's match against Portuguese giants SL Benfica should be a better match though, as Benfica need to win in Israel if they want to have a chance of qualifying. I think that Benfica will step up to the match and take the three points they need. Panathinaikos's game against Barcelona is only a formality in my opinion as the Greeks have no real chance given Messi and company's recent form, even though they have home field advantage. If Tottenham can continue their sparkling run against injury plagued Werder Bremen, they should be well on their way to the next round. Finally, Rangers v.s. Manchester United may be a harder game to call than it would seem as the Scots are extremely well formed, and have the home field advantage. Rangers may just play for a draw, or they could surprise United, I wouldn't put it past them.
