Both sides will be looking to avenge a home defeat at the hands of their opponents tonight and also put behind them last Saturday's abysmal performance to gain some credibility with their long suffering supporters !
Yes folks, whilst Altrincham travel to the depths of deepest Lincolnshire tonight, there's the small matter of the TASC Champions League Prediction Competition to contemplate with both Liverpool and Arsenal in action tonight and Manchester City and Chelsea tomorrow evening.
Liverpool have the unenviable task of taking on Real Madrid at the Bernabeau to try and avenge the 3-0 mauling they took from the same opposition two weeks ago at Anfield. Not surprisingly no one has been bold enough to give the scousers a hope with 17 of our 18 entrants going for a home win for Real. Only one brave soul has gone for a 2-2 draw.
Arsenal have more support to beat RSC Anderlecht at home with 5 predictions each for 3-1 and 2-0 out of a total of 14 home win predictions.
In the other two matches tonight, Juventus take on Olympiacos with 13 predictions for a home win, and Zenit St Petersburg entertain Bayer Leverkusen. with 10 predictions for a home win.
Wednesday evening sees Manchester City fighting for Champions League survival with a 'must win' home match against CSKA Moscow. Despite a disappointing 2-2 draw two weeks ago in Russia, 17 out of 18 have gone for a City win with 7 predicting a 3-1 win and a further 5 a 3-0 win. Apparently City have introduced a BOGOF offer for Wednesday's fixture in an attempt to fill the Etihad. Now there's a big club for you !
If they fail to win tomorrow it could be BOGOF to the Europa League with two matches still to play ?
Meanwhile Chelsea are expected to go marching on away at NK Maribor. It's a full house of away win predictions for Mourhinio and his boys, the most popular prediction being 2-0 win with 7 correct score predictions.
Defending Champions Bayern Munich having scored 7 against Roma, have home advantage this time round in the return fixture. 5-1 is the largest victory prediction for the Germans with one person predicting for 4-2 Roma win.
Finally FC Barcelona travel to Amsterdam to face Ajax. None of our entrants have gone for a home win, with 5 plumping for a draw, and the rest an away win for Messi & Co.
So do you watch the Champions League on TV or listen to Radio Robins from Lincoln ?
A full update of the Champions League will follow early next week when I get back from golfing in Tenerife, late on Sunday evening, by which time hopefully Altrincham will have picked up three points at Lincoln and be in the draw for the FA Cup second round.
We live in hope !!

Both picked weakened teams

Do they both have less scousers in the side than they used to (when they were more successful?)
