Newcastle should be taking a similar approach to todays'
match as they did the first clash between these two,
which netted them a 0-0 draw. Newcastle is still riddled
with injuries, and must put forth a conservative game plan
if they want any shot of moving to the UEFA Final to face
Spanish side, Villareal, or Valencia.
One could field a nice team with Newcastle's injured players.
The following players will be sidelined for todays match....
Jermaine Jenas, Kieron Dyer, Andy Griffin, star defender Jonathan Woodgate, and most importantly, Craig Bellamy who has scored 5 goals in UEFA play, is still sidelined with a hamstring tear. Midfielder Lee Bowyer should return from a hamstring injury, but may be playing at less than 100% fit.
Marseille is welcoming the return of Steve Marlet, who missed the first leg for Marseille but could return to form a formidable strike force with Didier Drogba. Drogba was named French Footballer of the Year and is keen to get the former Fulham striker alongside him.
In a recent interview with Didier Drogba, he says....
"It would be great if Steve were back up front with me because we've missed him a lot, he was not in Newcastle with us and that was a handicap because he brings a lot of speed and consistency to our game. We also get on really well on the pitch. Steve is a very talented and intelligent player."
Getting Marlet back is huge for Marseille. Combine this with their strong defense, giving up only 2 goals in 7 UEFA Fixtures, and the plethora of injuries on the Newcastle side, I am making the following recommendations:
MARSEILLE TO QUALIFY FOR FINAL -137 (CanBet) (2 UNITS)
UNDER 2 1/2 Goals -151 (Olympic) (1 UNIT)
enjoy.
