Here comes UEFA Champions League ! The clashes the whole world is looking forward to see begin tommorow. One of the less expected matches is Schalke 04 - Fc Porto, but it will be very tight. Schalke is currently on 5th in Bundesliga, beeing defeated friday at home by Wolfsburg 2-1. But a Champions League match is different..the players are at another concentration level and the stake is higher. Schalke remain Germany’s only survivor in the competition following the elimination of both Werder Bremen and Stuttgart. At one stage it looked like they too were headed for the exit, but ultimately squeezed through thanks to the surprising weakness of Valencia. Porto is 1st in the Bwin Liga of Portugal and the title is allmost theirs.

Porto is in a great shape and hopes to reach at least quater-finals but with this german side it's very hard . If they obtain a draw at Veltins Arena, Gelsenkirchen, they will have a great chanse of advensing.

Probable starting XI Schalke 04: Neuer, Rafinha, Bordon, Krstajic, Westermann, Ernst, Jones, Rakitic, Kobiashvili, Asamoah, Kuranyi
The major absentee of Schalke is Christian Pander. Mladen Krstajic, Ivan Rakitic and Rafinha will take their places against Porto having been suspended by the club for Schalke’s final Group match against Rosenborg for a breach of club discipline. Jermaine Jones is available again after being suspended for Matchday 6.

Possible starting XI Porto : Helton, Fucile, Pedro Emanuel, Bruno Alves, Cech, Lucho Gonzalez, Paulo Assuncao, Raul Meireles, Sektioui, Lisandro Lopez, Quaresma
The major loss for trainer Ferreira is the defence ace Bosingwa

I think Schalke will win 1-0 but they will have a very hard match ..any result is possible..maybe an Under 2.5 becouse the both teams will pe cautious.
