GROUP A:
Liverpool (England)
Porto (Portugal)
Olympique Marseille (France)
Besiktas (Turkey)
Okay group for us, Liverpool is out of our league and should win the group, Marseille has some good players but appears to be playing poor right now, and Besiktas was one of the best picks from the last pot. However all of these 3 teams have absolutely mental fans, which could make our away trips very hard. I predict that we'll go through but with lots of difficulties.
GROUP B:
Chelsea (England)
Valencia (Spain)
Schalke 04 (Germany)
Rosenborg (Norway)
Rosenborg is gonna get raped 6 times, lol. Schalke is under-rated but I don't think they can handle Chelsea, maybe they can put a challenge to Valencia but I doubt it.
GROUP C:
Real Madrid (Spain)
Werder Bremen (Germany)
Lazio (Italy)
Olympiakos (Greece)
Average group, Real should go through without problems, Bremen would be slight favourites IMO vs Lazio who are only now starting to recover from several shit years. I don't know how good Olympiakos are nowadays, most likely absolutely useless away from home.
GROUP D:
AC Milan (Italy)
Benfica (Portugal)
Celtic (Scotland)
Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine)
Interesting one, Benfica wasn't exactly lucky but they still have a good chance to qualify. Milan are the favs but any of these could surprise, I can see a tight battle for 2nd place coming up.
GROUP E:
Barcelona (Spain)
Olympique Lyon (France)
VfB Stuttgart (Germany)
Rangers (Scotland)
This might just be the strongest group, while Barça and Lyon are by far the biggest names (considering their success of the last couple years), Stuttgart are the current german champions, I could see them take Lyon by surprise. Rangers fans are probably crying in a corner right now, but they're not an useless team.
GROUP F:
Manchester United (England)
AS Roma (Italy)
Sporting Lisbon (Portugal)
Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine)
Haha, Sporting was massively unlucky here. Man Utd will go through no matter what, Roma should do as well, and they surely want to revenge the 7-1 thrashing of last year. Dinamo Kiev aren't at all what they've used to be, Sporting are favourites to take the UEFA Cup spot.
GROUP G:
Inter Milan (Italy)
PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands)
CSKA Moscow (Russia)
Fenerbahce (Turkey)
I can smell a super Fenerbahçe coming from nowhere and surprising everyone. Inter might be out of their league, but they should be able to annoy PSV, despite the very good recent record of PSV in the Champions League. CSKA aren't bad.
GROUP H:
Arsenal (England)
Sevilla (Spain) or AEK Athens (Greece)
Steaua Bucharest (Romania)
Slavia Prague (Czech Republic)
Steaua and Slavia? LOL! Assuming Sevilla will knock AEK out (which is very very likely), this group is decided from the beggining, except for a natural catastrophe.
