This season’s Champions League group stage draw is due to start in less than 2 hours and with that in mind, here’s our predictions for the draw.
Of course it goes without saying that we do not expect to get many (if any) of these groups right but it would there’s no harm in jotting our predicted groups down anyway, it’s not as if we’re going to get embroiled in a betting-probe by UEFA now is it?
Barcelona, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen, Trabzonspor
Manchester United, Benfica, Basel, Dinamo Zagreb
Chelsea, Lyon, Olympiacos, Genk
Bayern Munich, Valencia, Zenit, Viktoria Plezen
Arsenal, Milan, Lille, Borussia Dortmund
Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Napoli
FC Porto, Villarreal, BATE Borisov, APOEL Nicosia
Inter Milan, Marseille, Ajax, Otelul Galati
Well there’s our predictions timed at 2.49pm.
It should be interesting to see if we’ve paired any teams up correctly or not, or as I suspect how many teams and groups we’ve paired up wrong.
