One my friend said: "Chelsea is cursed!". I think this is the same as Terry's slipping in Moscow. They start to look like Inter Milan in the near past. But, at the end, hats off for Barca's performances, will be a great game in Rome. Two Uefa cup games today.

Sounds little unreal, two Ukrainian clubs play in semi-final. Shakhtyor is in great expansion since Rinat Akhmetov took a charge in a club. They permanently play Champions League. This season they were third in a group and continued competition in Uefa Cup where eliminated Tottenhem, CSKA and Marseille. This semi-final is fully deserved. In the first game they made a very good result. 1-1 made them a favorites before tonight's game. The most part of the game, they were in subordinate position, but Fernandinho's equalizer gives them an advantage. Beside suspended Oleksandr Kucher, Mircea Lucescu has a full squad available. I expect they'll try to score early and finish the job, instead keeping the advantage.

Dynamo is still dominant in Ukrain, won another champions title. In the first game, they were dominant, missed a lots of chances in the first half and punishment came after. Now, they have just a draw with conceded goal. Have to attack, but it is way that will leave some space for the hosts. Additional problem for Yuri Semin is missing players. Kravets, Myhalyk and Rincon are out, while Guilherme is in doubt. I think, Dynamo is not without a chance. They know how to play against Shakhtyor and will try to score in the first part of the game. Then everything would be possible.

Shakhtyor is a slight favorite, but I don't want to underestimate the visitors. These two are the big rivals, stake is final and I expect a real war. My choice are goals with excellent odds. Betfair offers 2.44, while Bwin as the most of the others 2.20. Over.
