Bayern Munich vs Barcelona

Bayern Munich is facing the difficult task of not only this season, but for the last few years. That is a really difficult match for doing football picks by football picks , so you should use some professional opinion, for sure.
After the defeat at the classical Stadium Nou Camp, Pep Guardiola`s boys are in need of the perfect match to fail to qualify for the final in Berlin.
The shape of the Bavarians in recent weeks, however, is desperate. They have not scored a goal for 361 minutes. The German champion has had four consecutive defeats in all competitions, and against Dortmund showed weakness.
And while Bayern made its worst streak in attack for the last 17 years, Barcelona is at the opposite pole. Catalans turned into a machine for goals and victories, winning 17 of the last 18 fights. They`re practically secured the title in La Liga and with one foot in the Champions League final, walking confidently into the schedule for treble. The trio Messi-Suarez-Neymar already has a whopping 112 goals this season.
The mentor of the guests, Luis Enrique collected a group of 26 players for the match, giving the possibility of players from the second team to fly to Munich. The defender, Jeremy Mathieu received the green light from the medical team and will be available after his injury. Sebastian Bor was returned to the group from Munich although it is not clear yet whether e is fully ready to play after a muscle injury.
Barca has rarely defeated Bayern in official matches (two times in nine meetings), but when it does, the result is long remembered (4:0 and 3:0). The recent victory of `blaugarans` on the German land came through the 2011/12 season, when they defeated Bayer Leverkusen with 3:1.
The last encounter between Bayern and Barca` Stadium finished with 4:0 for the Germans and a new one will rank them in the final. In the two teams, however, there have been serious changes in the past two years, and the Germans are tortured by the absence of injured key players Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, David Alaba and Holger Badsuber.
Interestingly, against the Portuguese, Bayern managed for the first time to catch up a backlog of two goals in the elimination match and in front of your audience to rank next. This time, the task of the most successful German club seems more complicated than ever, and with regard to the status of the two teams, Barca is in the position of a sure favorite.
Our football prediction is X.

Napoli - Dnipro (Europa League)

Napoli hosts Dnipro in the first match of the semi-finals of the Europa League. The meeting will be played at the stadium "San Paolo" on Thursday (May 7th 2015.). The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.40 for a home win, with a draw at 5.00 and 9.00 for the victory of the guests. The two teams have previous experience against each other. In 2012 played two matches in the Europa League, exchanging one home win in the group stage of the tournament.

Napoli is an expected favorite in this first confrontation and will seek a compulsory victory over Dnipro to facilitate the task in the next match. This is quite normal, as Napoli has no loss in nine consecutive games in the tournament, and also presented great in the Italian Serie A, where in the last round deal easily with Milan (3-0). The coach Benitez still is not available to use the services of Michu, Jonathan de Guzman, Walter Gargano and Juan Camilo Zuniga. Also, Ivan Strinic does not have the right to play in the Europa League.

Guests of Dnipro are one of the surprises in the tournament. Ukrainian team managed to keep clean sheet in 80% of the matches and at the weekend victories reasonably over Chernomorets with 3:0. For today`s match against Napoli, out of the scheme remain Ondrej Mazuch, Yevhen Shakhov and probably Roman Zozulya.

Dnipro recorded something special reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League, but against rival like Napoli hardly have a chance.

Prediction: -1.5 AH (Napoli) @ 2.05 at bet365
