Inter coach Rafael Benitez tried employing reinforcements to stop Bale - but they all went the same way as Maicon. White Hart Lane's old press box offered a close up view of events. It was the perfect vantage point to see Bale flying down the wing like a tornado. He was accompanied by deafening roars every time he received the ball, making goals for Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko. At the final whistle Portuguese legend Luis Figo, on Inter's staff, went across to Harry Redknapp and mouthed: "Bale is just amazing.
In terms of a correct score tip, the fact that four of Cheltenham’s last five matches have finished in a 1-1 draw is a hard stat to ignore. This is backed up by the fact that they have drawn 11 times this term and, although their visitors average just 0.91 goals per game and have conceded an average of 1.73 goals per game on the road, so a 1-1 stalemate appears to represent the best opportunity for a decent return.

dijon host Monaco with dijon in dire need of survival points that are need as a result of being in the relegation zone so I believe they will be in a dangerous mood today .Monaco however will be in a jovial mood as they seek to destroy dijon and compound dijon `s misery by defeating them so that they solidify champions league football.I believe this game will create opportunities for a high scoring game. However the prediction of a straight win for either of the teams is a tricky situation. Both teams desperately need points hence an of them is capable of a win
Burnley have now suffered four defeats on the bounce - a run of results that has dragged them firmly into the relegation battle. They are four points above the bottom three, but that margin could be reduced on Sunday, with Bournemouth and Aston Villa both in action.

Mallorca will host Leganes for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be tense match. Both teams want to win at all costs. Both teams are in danger of getting relegated. Mallorca are currently on the 18th place with 25 points. Also, the hosts have two consecutive losses. Also, we have Leganes who's is worst team in this season. Leganes are currently on the 20th place with 23 points. Leganes also have two consecutive losses. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Katie's prediction: 2-0MONDAY Chelsea v Man Utd (20:00 GMT)I am not expecting to see any massive difference in the way Manchester United line up, or the way they play. Yes, Bruno Fernandes has had a bit more time to settle in but I don't think their other major January signing, Odion Ighalo, will start.
Mura Will play against Maribor in the Slovenian Top division. The victory is a little more expected from the visiting team in this match, which is in third place on the table, which is enough to lead them to the UEFA Cup qualifiers as the host struggles to retake that spot so I think the guests will play smart here. They will try to avoid defeat and hold on to their position.

one more extremely interesting game to watch cause Wattens is in relegation zone with 20 points and on the other side mattersburg is first team in safe zone with 22 points but this time I think mattersburg is closer to the victory cause their offense on the road is pretty good and I surely expect from them to score a goal also because Wattens defense is terrible but their offense is not better a lot so with 1 scored goal mattersburg should surely secure the draw and if they win well that would be great for them and for me

They are 14 points ahead of Manchester United in fifth place, which means they are already in a strong position to finish in the top four and make the Champions League for the first time since they won the league.
