Premiership - Arsenal v Middlesbrough
Neither Lille, who have started their season poorly in
France, nor Benfica, who won their first Portuguese title in
over a decade last season under Giovanni Trapattoni, only to
see the Italian boss jump ship in the summer, can be
expected to offer too much competition in Group D.
So, if you’re planning to oppose United, it would be best to
back Vifiarreal before the Reds head to the Madrigal Stadium
for their opening group stage fixture on September 14th.
They may be somewhat overpriced at the moment, but that
won’t last if United f~! to get a result in Spain.ENGLAND were well beaten in Copenhagen a fortnight ago, but
don’t let that put you off backing them against Wales -
memories of that game may even counteract the effect of
patriotic money on the exchange prices.
England have never lost a qualifier under Sven Goran
Eriksson - Wales have already lost to England, Austria
(twice) and Poland in this World Cup qualifying campaign
with their only points coming from draws against Northern
Ireland and Azerbaijan.
Eriksson’S side haven’t always been totally convincing but
they have produced results when necessary, including the 2-0
win over Wales at Old Trafford, where Welsh keeper Paul
Jones had to work hard to keep the score-line respectable.
This Welsh attempt at qualification has not been
characterised by the occasional heroics that were the
hallmark of their efforts to reach Euro 2004, and since John
Toshack replaced Mark Hughes last November they have taken
just a point from three competitive internationals.
There will be no Michael Owen (suspended) but Eriksson has
some exceptional strikers who should be able to put the
Welsh defence under pressure.
