Hi everyone,

this is my first tip on this site, I hope I make a good start:)

It's the last day of the UEFA Cup group stage and everything is possible in Group F. It is even possible that Bayern fails to qualify from this group! Not a single person would have said anything like this before their first game.

For Bayern it would be a total disaster not to progress from the group stage. After so many signings and so much money spent back in the summer they have to get a result here. Bayern's recent run of form is poor. Out of last seven Bundesliga games they have menaged to win only two, they drew for (each of these draws 0:0) and have lost to Stuttgart. What's more, they have scored only four goals! But they have to make a breakthrough eventually.

The situation in the group is tricky for all teams, apart from Red Star who is out and plays away to Sporting Braga. What Aris needs from this game to be sure of qualification is a draw. But their league form has been poor too (three of last four games lost). I'm certain Bayern will do everything to win this match. There will be no excuses. All players except from long-term absentees Hamit Altintop und Marcell Jansen are in training. Ottmar Hitzfeld hopes to have Luca Toni back in the starting lineup. This is the last game of the year and I'm sure Bayern will put Aris under lot of pressure from the very first whistle. And goals will just be the question of time.

The Champions League last week has shown that when when big teams (Liverpool, Lyon) need to get a result in their European competition they do get it. And that is going to happen here too. Bayern will win it, and win it by at least a two goal margin. That's why I'm taking Bayern to win it on a -1 handicap.
