[Billy Minof]

Nedy, great defence, great attack but your midfield looks abit weak IMO.
RvN, your team is very one dimensional and attacking only down the middle which I think Nedy's defence could cope with....

Nedy for me.

[Nedy]

Good luck vN.

[Preki-USA]

two narrow teams and nedy has more class

[Rambo]

Nedy for moi

[Fantana]

How many games are Lucio and Tevez suspended for? They missed the first game, why do they miss this one too!?

[Dragonfly]

Blimey! The match that wingers forgot.

[Charlie: 9]

Blimey! The match that wingers forgot.

I know, its very, very narrow. Ill be holding my vote for now because I feel like it's a draw...

I agree with Charlie, I reckon this is a draw so I'll just wait a bit.

[dimitrivdr]

I've got to go for Nedy on this one... RvN has the better players, but in such a congested mf, he has too many players who instead of seeking out space, will look to get through the quagmire developing in the centre circle...

Nedy's seems to have more width (if only slightly) and I think that will benefit the supply to the front two.

[greenegg]

Blimey if any player wonders out wide they will have mighty fun on their todd. Two quality strikeforces although Nedy edges that battle for me. Both midfields seem even sort of and a little unorthodox so that area is a draw. Both defences are top drawer but Nedy just pinches it. I can see Nedy wining a well contested match here.

I don't this will be narrow despite the midfield fours - check out the full-backs. RvN has Javier Zanetti and Lahm while Nedy has van Bronckhorst and Chimbonda. If they do stay back though, it'll be boring with little penetration into the last third. The first goal will probably win it, but for now I think it's gonna end up a draw.

[Barry]

If we're talking width, RvN would win it with both Zanetti and Lahm getting plenty freedom. A draw!

[Nturtle]

Nedy to score in injury time and get away with a win!
