Valencia are greater than Salzburg. They can qualify without Ayala and Baraja too. They purchased some new players like Tavano, Morientes and Del Horno. Only Morientes will be able to play tonight, however I still insist Valencia are superior to Salzburg.

In the hot atmosphere of Mestella Valencia should easily win this one. The visitors will be without their best skipper Zickler.

Hamburg sold Van Buyten to Bayern Munich and Horlarauz to Chelsea. The new comer defender Kompany is injured for this match. They lack of form so far in Bundesliga.

Osasuna had a great chance for CL. The first match was 0-0 and it's gonna be for the first time if they can qualify to CL. Spainards had a great home form last year and La Liga is set to begin in a few days. They must be ready for the new season.

Two new important players are gonna be tested for Turkey tonight. One of them is Arda of Galatasaray. The youngster promised a lot in recent matches, and Fatih Terim (Turkish Coach) called him up to the national team. There are rumours that English outfit Tottenham is highly interested with Galatasaray midfielder and he has lot to prove tonight.

Another new player is Marco Aurelio who is originally a Brazilian. Fenerbahce midfielder had a Turkish passport last month and it's gonna be his debut for Turkey's national team tonight. He wants to impress all the nation as the arguements about calling a Brazilian to the Turkish team are hot nowadays.

Luxemburg is one of the weakest sides in European football and they have nothing to give tonight. They are so bad that even Lienchestein scored 7 goals in two matches against them.

Turkish national players usually don't give their %100 to friendly matches. However the difference of class between those two teams is huge and Turkey (with the help of the new enthusiastic players) will beat Luxemburg easily.

Good luck

The new era without David Beckham for the Three Lions begins with a friendly against the "title holders" Greece. The new coach Steve McLaren declared that the new squad will be projected for Euro 2008 so that the Real Madrid man will no longer be a part of the national team.

Greece will also try some new players tonight instead of the squad which won Euro 2004. However, their coach and his mentality is still the same: Otto Rehagel, pure defence. German coach will adapt new players to his team, and Greece will be holding back again.

If it was Sven Goran Eriksson's England playing tonight, I would bet Under 2.5 for a hundred time. I'm still thinking of an under 2.5 because no one can change many things at a national team in a shord period like 2 months. I don't think Greece can score tonight, and I don't think England can score more than twice.

Good Luck

Iceland is without their most dangerous man, Eidur Gudjohnsen. Icelandics will try some new players. However I don't think this is a disadvantage. The new boys will try hard to prove themselves in my opinion.

It's gonna be the 100th national game for Raul, this match is also a celebration for Spain National Team and Raul Gonzalez. Xavi and Carles Puyol misses the match due to injuries.

Here are the team squads:

ICELAND: Arason; Gunnarsson, Hreidarsson, Indridi Sigurdsson; Joey Gudjonson, Thorvaldson, Ingimarsson, Steinsson; Hannes Sigurdsson, Veigar Gunnarsson y Helguson.


SPAIN: Casillas; Míchel Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Pablo Ibáñez, Pernía; Cesc, Albelda, Xabi Alonso; Villa, Torres y Raúl.

Most of the Spain national players - almost all of them - plays in La Liga, and I don't think they are as ready as Icelandics who mostly play for English lower divisions and Scandinivian football leauges. It's gonna be a psychal game and the conditions will be hard. I don't think Spain will be so willingness to score, and I think It's gonna be a low scoring game.

OK. Kayserispor looks very good but they aren't good enough to fight against an Istanbul team in Istanbul. They are having a good period. But Gala has a good form aswell. If this match was in Kayseri, then I would stick on Kayseri double chance but they have no chance in Istanbul. Galatasaray should win this one.

Marseilles started off the season with a disappointing draw against Sedan. However, Marseiiles are always different in their home ground, Veledrome. Franck Ribery problem is rumoured to be solved and the reports claim he's gonna start at first 11 tonight.Mensah, Edman, Melchiot and Doumbe are not ready yet for Rennes and that means their defence is still under strenghth. They are poor away from home.Marseilles to win with Ribery and their supporters.

Dunfermline are one of the weakest sides in SPL and they have made a terrible also an expected start. They are missin 7 important players for this match and I can't see them gaining anything from this one.

Rangers coming with a draw against Dundee at Ibrox, are likely to win this one. It's not a matter of win, it's a matter of winning margin. People are thinking about 5, or more goals and I think it's gonna be an easy scoring game for Rangers.

Edit: I am really disappointed with Rangers today. They couldn't even managed to win this one. After the equalizer of Dunfermline, I was sure of an Over 2.5 once more but it didn't happen.
