Top Picks: Deportivo (Over 2.5g), Tottenham, Hamburg.
Additions: St Etienne (DRAW), Racing Santander.
Match analysis are as follows:
1. Deportivo La Coruna (Over 2.5g)
Ratings: 8.5/10
Deportivo hosts Feyenoord in a game where neither team could afford to lose. With the top two teams in Group H scheduled to play each other the following week, Deportivo has a chance to take full advantage of their home ground and recent good form (winning 5 of last 6 matches) to gain ground with the leaders. Both teams are free-scoring in their last few matches, hence the probability of a high-scoring match is on the cards. Go with Over 2.5 goals, and perhaps a small wager on the home team.
2. Tottenham (-1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8/10
Resurgent Spurs will look to add another 3pts as they chase Group D leaders Udinese. Unbeaten in their last 7 of 8 matches, they have recovered from the slump of form to climb out of the EPL's relegation zone. With 2 more matches to play, Tottenham will be gunning for victory at NEC Nijmegen to ensure that qualifications to the next round remains within reach.
Ratings: 7.5/10
An interesting encounter is on hand as the German 'machine' meets the Dutch flair. Hamburg lock horns with Ajax where both teams are currently tied on 3pts in Group F. Hamburg has an awesome record at home, unbeaten this season winning 7 out of 9 matches at home. Ajax will have a tough time breaking down the disciplined defense of the home team in this tight encounter. Hamburg to win 1-0.
