AS Monaco vs Besiktas Champions League 17-10-2017

AS Monaco vs Besiktas
Competition: UEFA Champions League
Date: 17 October 2017
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: Stade Louis II 

For AS Monaco, the match with Besiktas team comes in a bad moment, taking into account that they cannot reach the desired form and at the same time must win due to the situation in standings. AS Monaco, in first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League, have won just two points after away draw with Leipzig 1-1, while after that it lost at home to Porto by 3-0, and right now it has 02 points fewer than them and 05 less than leading Besiktas.
After the defeat by Porto, everything went downslope for AS Monaco in the French championship as it firstly drew at home with Montpellier, while last weekend the team was defeat away by Olympique Lyon 3-2. Even though, AS Monaco still occupies the second place in the French Ligue 1 but now it has even six points fewer than Paris Saint Germain, which is definitely not good for their self-confidence ahead of match with Besiktas. The suspended defender, Sidibe, and injured forward, Jovetic, are supposed to miss the game.
On the other side, reigning champion of Turkey, Besiktas, is under far lesser pressure ahead of the 3rd round of UEFA Champions League given it triumphed in the first two rounds and fully deservedly occupies leading position in the Group G at the moment. For sure, Besiktas away triumph over Porto 3-1 was a great result, while after it Besiktas routinely defeated at home debutant in the UEFA Champions League, Leipzig, by 2-0.
Besides that, problems in the Turkish championship are piling up and Besiktas won just 01 point from last three rounds when it drew at home with Trabzonspor, while it was defeated away by Fenerbahce and Genclerbirligi. All that led to Besiktas downfall at 6th place in the table, where they have eight points fewer than leading Galatasaray, but just two than second-placed Goztepe. Stopper Nukan and forward Tore will skip the match because of injuries, while defender Erkin is suspended.

Probable lineups:
AS Monaco: Subasic – Toure, Glik, Jemerson, Jorge – Lopes, Fabinho, Moutinho, Lemar – Falcao, Keita
Besiktas: Fabricio – Gonul, Pepe, Tosic, Adriano – Hutchinson, Ozyakup – Quaresma, Talisca, Babel – Tosun

16/09/17 Monaco 3 – 0 Strasbourg

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona
Competition: Spanish Primera Division
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT 
Date: 14 October 2017
Venue: Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid 
Atletico Madrid has been defeated only once, however, the team cannot be satisfied at the beginning of the new season. There are too many draws in some of the games in which, the team was absolute favourit, such as the match with Girona in the first round and Leganes in the last round. A draw with Valencia is still acceptable, as well as the one in the UEFA Champions League when they played 0-0 with Roma.
The problem is that Atletico Madrid has been defeated at home by Chelsea and with one point in two rounds, the team is in a big trouble. Because of the construction of a new stadium, they were the hosts only twice in the Lioga BBVA, and they have resolved those duels in their favour and without any goals received, but now this effect will be endangered. Coach Simeone is not changing the starting lineup too much although they are playing on two fronts.
The best start of the season for FC Barcelona is still on going, with the proviso that this amazing performance will now probably be at great test. Barcelona has seven wins in the championship, but the looking at the names of their opponents, it can be seen how such an effect could be expected from one of the most serious candidates for the championship title. The most difficult opponents on the paper have been Betis and Espanyol so far, and Barcelona played against them at home. In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona already had a serious rival, which is Juventus, but they also welcomed them at Nou Camp Stadium and defeated them with 3-0.
FC Barcelona also defeated Sporting in Lisbon with 1-0, so the team is doing good in the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona is certainly the most efficient in La Liga and with only 02 goals scored. Coach, Valverde, manages to rest players in some matches, so Rakitic, Iniesta, Semedo and Umtiti did not play against Las Palmas, and they still celebrated with 3-0.

Netherlands vs Sweden
Competition: 2018 WC Qualification Europe.
Date: 10 October 2017
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: Amsterdam ArenA
It was a very good start for Netherlands at the beginning of this qualification, but after eight rounds in which they won 05 matches and lost 03, Netherlands needs an incredible victory over the Sweden of seven goals given their much worse goal-difference. On the other hand, leading Franch team has already unreachable four points more, and they also inflicted to the Dutch two out of three so far suffered defeats.
The third one took place in Bulgaria, which was the key mishap in the Dutch misery. The team played a bit better in the last two games and defeated by 3-1 the Bulgarians at home and Belarus away three days ago. Right because of that, the Dutch stress that will give their best in order to defeat Sweden, regardless that their potential success will be most likely a Pyrrhic victory in the end. As a result, coac,h Advocaat, should send on the pitch almost the same team as he did against the Belarusians.


Unlike Netherlands, whixh has only a theoretical chance to reach the 2018 World Cup, Sweden had made probably the key step for retaining the 2nd place, when they defeated Luxembourg by 8-0. The second place will take the Swedes to the play-off although they still have chance to directly qualify for the World Cup in Russia as they have just one point fewer than leading France. Nevertheless, it is hard to expect that the Dutch will slip in the last round when they face already written-off Belarus at home, while on the other hand the Swedes have this difficult away match with Netherlands.
Despite that, as long as there is even a most miniscule hope, coach Andersson players will give their maximum in attempt to win all 03 points in Amsterdam, while they anyway cannot affect outcome of the match in Paris. Sweden right back player, Lustig, got injured in the match with Luxembourg and this time that position will be covered by player, young Krafth, while the rest of starting line-up should stay the same like three days ago in Stockholm.

Probable lineups:
Netherlands: Cillessen – Janmaat, van Dijk, Hoedt, Blind – Vilhena, Wijnaldum – Robben, Propper, Babel – Janssen
Sweden: Olsen – Krafth, Lindelof, Granqvist, Augustinsson – Claesson, Larsson, Johansson, Forsberg – Berg, Toivonen

Netherlands last 5 matches:
31/05/17 Morocco 1 – 2 Netherlands
04/06/17 Netherlands 5 – 0 Cote d’Ivoire
09/06/17 Netherlands 5 – 0 Luxembour
31/08/17 France 4 – 0 Netherlands
03/09/17 Netherlands 3 – 1 Bulgaria

Sweden last 5 matches:
28/03/17 Portugal 2 – 3 Sweden
09/06/17 Sweden 2 – 1 France
13/06/17 Norway 1 – 1 Sweden
31/08/17 Bulgaria 3 – 2 Sweden
03/09/17 Belarus 0 – 4 Sweden
