Isnt Neymar injured too?

Soccerway has him out with a hammy.

Anyway.... Think Guangzhou is being underestimated.
All those Brazilians that were injured most of the year are fit and they can all play as opposed to the Chinese league which has a bit of a quota for foreign players.

Taken Guangzhou +1 AH @ 5.25
Guangzhou over 1,5 @7.8 (Betfair)

Both small stakes.

Huang Bowen to be booked if you can find it anywhere. I cant.

Yeah I'm just after reading another preview I found and he's definitely out by the looks of it.

http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/match-preview-fc-barcelona-v-guangzhou-evergrande

Guangzhou have yer man Alan from Red Bull Salzburg. I completely forgot about that. Any faith on here in the BTTS market?

Team News

FC Barcelona’s 23-man squad includes the complete first team apart from Rafinha, plus B team players Samper and Gumbau. Striker Neymar is carrying a groin injury but has also travelled to Japan, as has his injured compatriot Douglas. According to competition rules, all 23 of those players are eligible to play, so there will be no squad announcement on the day of the match.

Leo Messi will not be playing after waking up on Thursday morning with renal colic, a type of abdominal pain commonly caused by kidney stones. His future availability will depend on the outcome of further medical tests.

The Guangzhou Evergrande squad includes six Brazilians, including former Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan striker Robinho, while Alan Carvalho (Red Bull Salzburg) and Paulinho (Tottenham) also have European experience. All of the other players are Chinese, with the sole exception of South Korean centre-back Kim Young-gwon.

Coaches’ viewpoint

Although his team are clear favourites, Barça boss Luis Enrique is approaching the game with caution. “We will have to be very careful with their captain [Zheng Zhi], who is an important piece in the team” he said in his pre-match press conference. “He is capable of starting attacks along with the centre backs, directing the midfield and getting into the box … If we look at the semi-finals in the Club World Cup, they have always been tough and we will have to be completely focused to get through. The team are in good shape and with real ambition to do well in Japan.”

Guangzhou Evergrande have one of the most experienced coaches in the world controlling things from the side-lines, Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, who said on Wednesday that “Barça are one of the best teams in the world, but we know our own qualities. We have the dedication, the intelligence and we will put in a good performance … I have respect for Barça but I have confidence in us.”

Form guide

Barça are going into the competition on the back of three draws. The points dropped away to Valencia and at home to Deportivo have allowed Atlético Madrid to catch up with them in La Liga, while the 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen was less painful, as the defending European champions had already ensured passage into the last sixteen of the Champions League as group winners.

Guangzhou Evergrande have already clinched their fifth consecutive Chinese Super League and qualified for the Club World Cup after winning their second Asian Champions League title by beating Al-Ahli of Dubai in November. The Southern China Tigers then sprung a surprise by defeating Club América 2-1 in the quarter finals. The Mexicans led 1-0 until the 80th minute when Zheng Long equalised and then Paulinho grabbed a dramatic winner in the third minute of injury time.

History

FC Barcelona are participating in the Club World Cup for the fifth time, and the fourth since the new format was introduced. After losing to Sao Paolo (Brazil) in the old Intercontinental Cup in 1992 and to Internacional (Brazil) in 2006, Pep Guardiola led the team to its first title against Estudiantes (Argentina) in 2009 and then again to a 4-0 defeat of Santos (Brazil) in 2011.

Barça have never played a Chinese club in an official match, but have played four preseason friendlies against teams from the country, winning all of them and scoring nineteen goals to no reply in the process. And in April 2005 the Catalans routed the Chinese national team 6-0 in an exhibition match at the Camp Nou.

Guangzhou Evergrande are playing in the Club World Cup for the second time. Two years ago, when they were the first Chinese club to play at the event, they also reached the semi-finals by beating Al-Ahly (Egypt) 2-0 in the quarter final, but once there they were soundly defeated 3-0 by eventual champions Bayern Munich.

PopePalpatine

Don't forget, Barcelona's last game was last Saturday. I'd say the trip to Japan will take some toll on them. A quick Google search says that it's at least a 14-15 hour flight.

On top of that, Barcelona fielded a pretty decent team last Saturday: http://www.flashscore.com/match/pvieUaXN/#lineups;1. I'd give this one a miss.

Did a brilliant job last time as interim. All they want is a decent stop gap until Summer according to the press.

be careful with that, if Hiddink does get it will only be short term till the end of the season.

The next permanent Manager of a given Football Club will be settled on an official statement from the club, or on the official club website, stating that an individual has been appointed as manager of the first team for a year or more unless otherwise stated.

Mr. Green

In the case of dismissal of head coach Jose Mourinho guide Chelsea will temporarily hire a specialist until the end of the season.

The main candidate on this post, as it was informed earlier, is Guus Hiddink. After the end of the season, Chelsea wants to get head coach "Atletico" Diego Simeone.

The management "Chelsea" still discussing the dismissal of Mourinho.

I got an email from Bet365 the other day telling me I am no longer eligible for offers and promotions, presumably including this one. Anyone else got this?
I suspect it may have something to do with not sending them the ID documents they keep asking for...

are you winning too much or maybe arbing too much?

i dont know many who have got this email to be fair yet know plenty who have punished for winning or arbing with sky, paddy and the likes
I rarely arbed with 365 myself for the simple reason it would kill me to lose that footie offer

Not sure who it was, maybe you ?, who said they cashed out on the bet365 offer the last time, I think that would also ban you from offers.

Brighton games are often overs and both score, Boro are the opposite. Something has to give...
West brom played well last week, too big a price at home to bournemouth.
Chelsea fans will be all over the players today, could see it affecting them and big sam nicking a point (at least).

Lads paddy power have Newcastle enhanced to 3/1. What do ye think? I know they're having a pretty poor season but they got a good result last week. Villa are shocking and don't seem to be making any progress under the new manager

I think Mahrez is probably key to the bet this week, quite an explosive player, scored double figures 8 times from 16 this season and has scores of 21, 15, 15, 13. Lukaku, ozil and ighalo all on good form and I would expect 2 out of the 3 to score 5-6 points (ozil has attacking returns in his last 10 matches). I have no idea what Kane will do, could blank, could score 10 points.
Its a tough call and not as appealing as other weeks I think.
