Anzhi Vs Newcastle Prediction 07/03/2013


Anzhi - Newcastle 1.73 - 5.75

I do not like the odds on the home win, but I cannot really oppose Hiddink’s team. They have won all their seven home games in Europe and they gave Hannover no chance in their last home fixture. Away from home it is another question, but we can skip that for now.
Eto’o, Willian, Lass Diarra, Bousouffa and the rest of the Anzhi players have prepared for this game in Dubai. The Russian domestic season starts this weekend. E Spahic, the Sevilla defender, has joined Anzhi on loan. He is thought to replace C Samba. I do not know if he will play tomorrow. The match will be played on a plastic pitch.
Newcastle defeated Metalist in Ukraine and this writer was impressed. OK, Metalist sold their best player to Shaktar and their domestic season had not started, but at the same time Newcastle so often struggle away from home. Keeper Krul and captain Coloccini will once again be missing for Newcastle. Gouffran and Debuchy are ineligible for this game, but Ben Arfa could be back.
Looking at the present Newcastle squad I give them a chance in any given game, but in general their away displays are disappointing. Home win, I guess, but I would never touch the odds on the home win.
