Galatasaray wont play with the same squad as last time because the result from the first match was great. I think that Rijkaard wants to try some other players than usually. These players are motivated because they want to prove that they are good players too. Tallin didnt show anything in the first match and they have nothing to play about. Galatasaray wont play with the strongest 11 but they still have enough quality to score.
I expect very open football in this match because Panathinaikos has to score if they want to do something with the result but I dont think that they have chance to win. Atletico's strikers are amazing and they shouldnt have problems to go through Pana's defence. Pana's Karagounis will miss this game which is maybe good for the faster football because players want him to start attacks and its predictable.
Its true that Houston had some problems with defence but they are strong at home but Seattle will play without their best striker Montero due to yellow-card accumulation and midfielder Stephen King is questionable. New houston forward, Luis Angel Landin, who came from Mexico should play on Sunday and could be very useful because he has experiences with Mexican national team. Houston will only miss defender Andrew Hainault.
Galatasaray plays amazing, they won against Tallin in the Euro League qualification and it seems they have many useful players. New coach Rijkaard brought new offensive style with three attackers and players proved that this should be the way how to win against Kayserispor. Kayserispor doesnt attack, they just kick the balls out of their half of the playground. I dont expect that kayserispor could score.
Ebbsfleet United has problems with quality of players beceause all of them are very young and it seems they arent ready to show quality football. Ebbsfleet created new squad and they cant play together. Their attack is weak after some important players left in summer. Mansfield will miss skipper Gary Mills, defender Paul Heckingbottom and Stefan Bailey, Ishmael Welsh and James Lindie are questionable.
The last team of the Eircom 1st Division will play against the 1st Shelbourne. Shelbourne is one of the most scoring teams in the league and they should score at least 3 times against the last team of the league. Shelbourne striker McAllister returns after he missed last match but Shelbourne will play without their captain and without another two players - Alan Keely and Kevin Doherty.
Skipper Gary Mills and defender Paul Heckingbottom will play in the match against Barrow and another defender Scott Gardner will play too. He had three-match ban after the match against Luton. Barrow has no injuries and it looks that the same players as in the match against Stevenage Borough will play. Mansfield Town plays good at home and I expect they will win this match.
