Originally posted by PalynkaThe portugese clubs have become selling clubs recently. However Benfica traditionally do well at home. Both Celtic and Benfica can beat Shatkar Donetsk but I feel AC will fancy Parkhead more than The Stadium of Light.
What about Benfica? Do you think it progresses easily over Celtic? Pretty open, if you ask me.

Originally posted by trevor33Porto will be top of the group.
a few years ago, maybe 2, i can't remember. i did a bet on some of the group winners.
i got one wrong (man utd lyon) but i covered my bet and ended up winning money anyway.
i was thinking of doing the same this year. barca/lyon i'm not touching but other than that what do you think?
i'm thinking of leaving man u out this time and doing sevilla instead of arsenal. other than that i'm doing the top seeds (although i don't like chelsea)
Originally posted by Angry BoyNot this year. Last year, we could have been top against Arsenal, with two unlucky shots on the post by Quaresma in a game we dominated.
Wanna bet on that?

We were pitiful in London, though.
Edit - If we had Pepe and Anderson, I would. But this year our defense is very shaky.
