Champions League
2010-11-24 - Rubin Kazan vs FC Copenhagen
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:After Spartak Moscow's failure to win yesterday, Rubin will be Russia'a last chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
However Rubin are trailing their opponents tonight by some 4 points as they enter this match. And it has to be said here that Copenhagen have been the surprise package of this year's tournament, starting with a late winner against Rubin in the opening group game and they can confirm their spot to the last 16 with a win here.
For the team news, the visitors will again have to make do without Hjalte Norregaard for tonight's clash with Rubin. The Danish midfielder has been out since October with a hamstring injury and is not ready for the long trip to Russia.
Otherwise, Copenhagen have a near-full strength side and will look to the key trio of Claudemir, Martin Vingaard and Dame N'Doye to get the win here.
The home side Rubin enters this match on the back of a 12 match unbeaten record. That includes three sucessive draws in Europe. And the Russians could name an unchanged side from the one that had the goalless draw with Panathinaikos last time out.
They have no injuries or suspensions to worry about here as well. However, Roman Sharonov started Rubin's last outing against Zenit after recovering from a long-term knee injury, but the defender is ineligible due to not being part of their Champions League squad.
Take Rubin Kazan to win this match.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
