Group A
Bordeaux vs. Maccabi Haifa
Bordeaux tied Juventus in the 1st round while Maccabi failed to top Bayern Munich. I'm not too familiar with either team so I don't want to make predictions.
Juventus vs. Bayern Munich
Juventus has moved to 2nd place in Serie A while Bayern are parked in the middle of the table in the Bundesliga. Bayern will definitely be looking for the win, though, as they have the most points in the group. A win will widen the gap between them and the next in line.
Group B
CSKA Moscow vs. Besiktas
Both went winless last weekend, so a win tomorrow will set them closer to table-leaders Wolfsburg and Manchester United, both of whom have 3 points.
Manchester United vs Wolfsburg
Tied in 1st place after their respective wins last weekend, this game will set a definite leader in the table, unless there's a draw.
Group C
AC MIlan vs. FC Zurich
Zurich lost to Real Madrid last round and AC Milan defeated Marseille. The underdog is Zurich, but hopefully Milan will turn up to win and make it out of the group stages.
Real Madrid vs. Marseille
The Spanish giants are unfortunately undefeated in their league play and CL career, so a win over Marseille is expected, though it would be nice to see the French side knock Madrid down a peg or two. One can only hope.
Group D
FC Porto vs. Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid have been have been performing horribly as of late. They are in the bottom of La Liga standings and could only muster a tie last week. Porto was defeated by Chelsea so Atletico are ahead of them in the standings. A win might regenerate Atletico and help them get themselves together.
Chelsea vs. Apoel Nicosia
Chelsea was stunned this weekend after their 3-1 defeat to Wigan, so they're probably going to come into this game with a little vengeance. Although I'm not a Chelsea fan, I can see them pulling off a win.
