[Nedy]

The best match of the week here. Very good teams on the pitch, I have to go for a draw.

[wan109]

Cranie for me.

Nedy had go for draw a lot.

[Scarface]

This looks very tight. I like the look of the Renato Augusto/Manu Adebayor/David Suazo triangle a lot and they may give Barry the bigger goalscoring threat, but Cranie again has a nicely balanced side that which will create chances.

I'll vote later, but my first thought is a 1-1 draw.

[nath_scfc]

The possibility of Deigo, Guily and N'Zogbia supplying Forlan says goals to me. Although, Scarface rightly pointed out Suazo/Adebayor/Renato comibining also slaps of a massive goal threat.

I can see it being very tight, possibly Cranie sneaking it but a draw would probably be the most likely result.

[Barry]

Good luck Rich-san.

[Nedy]

Nedy had go for draw a lot.

Any problem with that?

[McGregor]

A very tight game although I see both teams managing to grab a goal a piece. Both are very well balanced throughout and I feel 1-1 would be a fair and equal result.

[martin_cranie]

Good luck Rich-san.

And to you, Lord Barry.

[Bammers05]

Cranie's team looks slightly stronger here

[Keyser Soze]

Cranie to win this closely-contested match for me. Martin's team has a perfect balance to it and would create many opporunities for Forlan to put away. I also think Cranie's defence could handle Barry's attacking options slightly better than vice versa.

Both very strong teams though.
