Group D Preview (Nov. 3)
Apoel Nicosia vs FC Porto
FC Porto will look to lock up second place in Group D with a win against Nicosia. The 2-1 victory a fortnight ago did not represent the game. Porto out-played the Romanian side for the better part of the game and Hulk should have had a hat-trick at least.
Nicosia are at home for this match which might be more difficult for Porto but the Portuguese side should not be troubled.
Player to watch:
Hulk seems to save his best play for the Champions League. He has only 1 goal in seven games domestically. In contrast he has 2 goals in three games in the Champions League. He should continue his top form on Tuesday.
Match Prediction:
I predict a 3-1 win for FC Porto.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid
Chelsea has a perfect record with six goals for and zero against. Atletico Madrid has one draw and two losses with zero goals for and six against.
Quique Sanchez Flores is relishing the prospect of locking horns with Carlo Ancelotti.
Carlo Ancelotti gets Drogba back in his lineup for their Champions League games after the Ivorian striker has served his three match suspension.
Player to watch:
Frank Lampard has four goals in the last four games and has looked more like the Lampard we have seen in the last few years.
Match Prediction:
I predict a 3-0 win for Chelsea. Chelsea is playing too well at the moment to be bothered by a Madrid side that looks uninterested.
Play Beautiful!
