Slavia Mozyr will host Smolevichi for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. However, I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Slavia have better position in the table. However, they have a poor results in recent times. Hosts have 2 losses in a row. Also, we have Smolevichy who's is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Nevertheless, the guests will try to pick up the victory on the road. In any case, they have nothing lose. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. My pick - Smolevichy to win.

I have never heard a word from Abramovich: 'Let's get this ready for a sale,' or something," Buck told The Guardian "Because of the political situation, there are people who think they might want to buy Chelsea at a bargain.

A win and a draw against CSKA Moscow and a draw in the return fixture against Espanyol put the side just one point behind Ludogorets in third place and they'll know that their match against the Bulgarian side in matchweek six will likely be a straight shootout to see who joins Espanyol in the knockout stages. Despite their efforts in the Europa League this season, Ferencvaros have only scored twice, something which could hugely stunt them in their quest to advance.

These facts combined to make Mancini's side massive favourites to collect another trophy. Joleon Lescott, Manchester City defender: "It was a little bit weird on the morning of the final. We were eating breakfast together and the TVs were on with Sky Sports News reporting that Mancini was going to get sacked.

They are team who is have very problematic defense and we could see that in last round, when they are lost even 0-5 against Austria Wien. Now, they are under pressure and they need to win. Guests are coming in this match after 0-0 and 2-2 in last two matches in league. I believe here in at least three goals and with a little luck and even more than that.

Guardiola has built a superb Manchester City side, a purists' delight, as Arteta will know only too well after sharing two Premier League title triumphs, including a historic 100-point haul two years ago, and more history when they claimed a domestic treble by adding the League Cup and FA Cup last season. And City can still make it their most glorious campaign by finally claiming the Champions League - but on the evidence of this season you would not trust them to pull it off.

Blackpool are not an easy side to get the better of, though their recent efforts suggest that they're on the slide. More importantly, Tranmere look a better side at home than the current odds suggest, so a small play on the home win offers punters some value.

In addition, Tranmere have also performed well at home in terms of shots on target, so much so that their average of 5.6 for makes them League 1's fourth-best team in that respect. Blackpool are League 1's fifth worst on the road.
