Re: Champion league 06-07th Nov

I've been having a think about the Barca v Rangers game and for me it may well be a tight one again. Walter Smith will have his side set up 4-5-1 as he has done for most games (home and away) this season and they're defensively very resolute, especially against better teams, as demonstrated by clean sheets against Celtic, Lyon and Barca so far this season.

I'm surprised that it looks like he'll be going with Darcheville up front as I would have thought Cousin would have given more defensive cover at set pieces. Maybe he sees Darcheville's pace as being important in the vast Nou Camp. And in any case, with Ronaldinho in the team the best way to defend free kicks is not give them away in the first place. Looking at the group table and again a draw 'could' suit both teams so it really just depends how clinical Barca are in front of goal.

Rangers will be hard to break down - no doubt about that and it might just take a single moment of genius from Ronaldinho, Messi or Henry to decide the game.

Its a no bet for me on this one but I think the 2/9 on Barca is way too short.
