Champions League - CFR Cluj v Chelsea

The media have gone a little bit silly ahead of Chelsea's gane tonight with more being made of us playing in Transylvania, than the actual game itself.

Bottom line is that Cluj are not that bad a team. Even though Roma have had a pretty poor start to the season, to go to Italy and get a winning result means that the Romanian minnows are no mugs, and I expect them to come at Chelsea from the first whistle tonight.

I can see a low scoring hard fought game, a bit like the game we played against Olympiacos last season where every one expected telephone numbers, but it ended up as a bore draw 0-0. I think most club managers will accept a point away from home, as Chelsea will look to win all 3 home games, and 3 points away from home in all 3 games will see us through with ease.

There's no Joe Cole tonight, and Kalou will play after recovering from a knock. Drogba will start but he looked someway off the pace on Saturday and we need a spark in midfield which we do not really have without Deco or Cole.

I can see a very tough opening 20 minutes for the blues, and I will personally be happy for us just not to concede in that period. I will be happy with a win, but no way will this be the cakewalk many people think it will be.

I'm going for a few punts on tonights game, but the big bet is on under 3.5 goals.
