Default Re: Champions League - 27th November

I am being optimistic for the games tonight and expect few Overs across Europe in the CL. These won't be my main bets for tonight, will wait for further opinions. Certainly though I will try:
Sevilla - Arsenal Over 2,5 Sevilla at home always score, plenty of attacking options in Kanoute, Fabiano, Kerzhakov, Kone etc. Don't expect a team of their caliber to approach this game waiting on the FT result in Romania. If any of those forwards is missing, good old boys Chevanton and Maresca could step in, both hungry for top level football. As of Arsenal, certainly Wenger will rest/miss some players, whoever plays though, as it happened so many times with them ,will be fired up to impress. Still, don't think it will be another clean sheet for Arsenal.
Lyon - Barca Over 2,5 Lyon will play to win and this is my strong point for this bet. Possibly without Benzema, but I think it is another mind game. Henry missing the game is bad news for this pick. Yet both teams have so much fire power that the minimum I expect is a mirror CS to the one at Camp Nou. A couple of close range free kicks in the first 20 mins should be enough to ''open the game up''
Inter - Fenerbahce Over 2,5 Simple reasoning - an Inter win is highly probable, but I am pretty confident the Turks will score as well with two good forwards and an excellent midfield. Noticed some ''substantial'' bets this morning in my local bookie on the draw, well then, I hope it is a high-scoring one
Stuttgart - Rangers Over 2,5 This one is a very ambitious, with the deffensive approach everybody expects from the Scots and Gomez possibly missing from the hosts. Somehow though I expect an early goal in this game, which could come from both ends, and this will turn it all upside down for both teams.
Anyone???????????????
