FC Zürich vs Xamax Neuchatel
Saturday, 6th February 2010, 5:45 pm
Stadion Letzigrund, Zürich
Xamax could play a very good first round and faces after 19 rounds with 26 points rank 4 just 3 points behind FC Luzern and therefore a chance to qualify for the European League 2010/2011. During the winter break could take 2 important transfers and got Shkelzen Gashi as midfielder from AC Bellinzona and from the austrian team SC Magna Wiener Neustadt the striker Sanel Kuljic. Kuljic played in 2006/07 for FC Sion and scored 12 goals in 22 games. The both striker Mario Gavranovic (FC Schalke 04) and Ideye Brown (FC Sochaux ) left the club.
The reigning champion FC Zürich faces a bad autumn and got after 18 rounds only 23 points for rank 7, 18 points deficit to leader Young Boys Bern. In the group stage of the UEFA Champions League they faced only rank 4 in group C against the teams of Real Madrid, AD Milan and Olympique de Marseille. During the transfer period FC Zurich had some big deals:
From: Rene Borkovic (FC Wohlen), Sebastian Kollar (FC St. Gallen), Oumar Konde (Chengdu Blades / CHN) und Ludovic Magnin (VfB Stuttgart / GER)
To: Emra Tahirovic (MVV / NED)
My tipp: FC Zurich will start very hard to the spring season and will keep the home advantage for the first game. Therefore i expect a clear home victory. Best odd you find at the moment at Bet365 with 1,62!
