** Rubin Kazan v Tottenham Hotspur Match and Predictions Thread**

[tototoner]

KO 5pm and the programme starts at 4.30pm on ITV4

Going to be very tough over there, they showed at the lane they are a decent side and Gomes had a blinder.

2-1 home win for me, Carroll to score for us

This is reported to be the starting XI from the Team Thread

Gomes
Fredericks Gallas Bassong Townsend
Falque Carroll Livermore Pienaar
Defoe Pav

That's actually not a bad team, apart from the full-backs obviously as neither are comfortable playing there. Hope it's correct.

I'd go with a Rubin 2-1 win as well. Will be pleasantly surprised if we get anything from this.

 

[felmani26]

Defoe and Pavlyuchenko are horrible together so i'm hoping that won't be the starting lineup.

 

[Blake Griffin]

confirmed lineup

cudicini; fredericks, gallas, bassong, townsend; yago, livermore, carroll, pienaar; defoe, pavlyuchenko

Sadly I'm going to miss this, but hoping for some good performances from Carroll, Pienaar, Gallas and Defoe, even if we'll probably get beaten.

Cant see us getting anything from this, they dominated us at WHL, a draw would be a great result.

 

[alex3]

Gomes, Stewart, Nicholson, Parrett, Pritchard, Kane, Lancaster.

 

[mpickard2087]

A draw would be good.

Cant say I care much for this game, hope the youngsters put up a decent showing though.

 

[alex3]

what a bench LOl!!!

 

[werty]

Surprised Gomes isn't starting. Our full backs scare me tonight.

 

[sloth]

Just layed us on Betfair at 3.5

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

Coys!!

 

[kishman]

Two wingers at fullbacks. Eek

 

[RichieS]

We're gonna get humped with that team. Never mind.

 

[alex3]

COYS!!!

Def take a draw!

 

[felmani26]

End of the day, a draw would be a fantastic result with this team but more importantly than that is for the team to come through unscathed - in particular Gallas and Defoe.
