I'm a bit surprised there's still no posts here for today's UEFA Cup games.

Well, here are my bets for today:

Zenit P.-Bayern
Zenit has some players missing (striker Andrei Arshavin, left-winger Radek Sírl, Fernando Ricksen – all suspended – and defenders Nicolas Lombaerts and Kim Dong Jin who are injured) but they will surely field 11 players looking forward to make club history and making it to the finals.
On the other side we have a Bayern side which IMO has had far too many ups and downs during the season and seem to rely a lot on stars Ribery and Luca Toni to solve by themselves what the team can't solve as a whole.
Bayern are the clear favorites but I expect a tight game and see value in taking the draw.
My pick: draw;

Fiorentina-Rangers
I think everyone would agree that Italian Football is at a higher level than the Scottish one and that Fiorentina is a better overall side than Rangers.
Also, Rangers 1-1-9 historical record when playing away in Italy is far from impressive. On the other hand, Fiorentina has a 5-0-0 historical record when playing at home against Scottish teams.
(Sorry Rangers fans in the forum but) I don't see Rangers being able to stop Mutu and Vieri tonight.
My pick: home -1AH (Asian Handicap);

Good luck!
