Not a very good month and finally more time to post match analysis for October. Really disappointed in W. Rooney and Man Utd even after they were leading 2-1, just not like them in the past. But the most shocking result is AC Milan losing to FC Zurich and I guess AC Milan needs to really find a savior if they're gonna turn their season around.
Manchester United vs. Wolfsburg Lose
Porto vs. Atletico Madrid Win
AC Milan vs. FC Zurich Lose
Manchester City vs. West Ham United Win
September's Record: 2-0-2

Manchester United vs. Wolfsburg (2-1)
Man Utd are in great form, having won their last their last 6 matches in all competition should do enough to win this match. Sometimes experience do count in european matches. Plus, Rooney to make his 50th European appearance; will he be inspired to grab another hat trick, like what he did in his debut against Fenerbahce when he first arrived from Everton.
Wolfsburg, the reigning German champion, have one of the most formidable strike force made up by Grafite & Dzeko. Facing late fitness test is their important captain, Josue, and should Man Utd defence do their job well, i cant really see Wolfsburg getting anything out of this match.
IMO, Man Utd will attempt to grab an early goal luring Wolfsburg to grab an equaliser (they like to attack alot, trust me) leaving gaps behind for Man Utd to counter, so i'm gonna put my money this time on the witty Sir Alex Ferguson & hungry Rooney.
Team AHCTIPS Prediction
Manchester United @ -1.5 AHC
Porto vs. Atletico Madrid (2-0)
Atletico Madrid, another formidable offensive pair made up by D. Forlan & S. Aguero, can never be neglected as a force but they're just not playing as a team right now. Winless in their last 6 matches and without their first choice GK, Asenjo, i just cant see them getting any result today.
Porto, IMO, are one of the most organised team in Europe. The home team will have Fernando suspended for this match and S. Varela facing late fitness test but watch out for their striker, Hulk who always turn green (just kidding), giving him full of energy to burst right through defence.

Porto @ -05 AHC
AC Milan vs. FC Zurich (0-1)
Alright, AC Milan, 2-2-2 in their last 6 league games, and i think Bari should have won in their last league game only for their heroic GK to save the day. But why such ridiculous odds cos it seems like AC Milan can only play good football on European games these days. Their win against Marseille was absolutely well deserved and even the bookmakers thinks that they're gonna put in quite a performance to appease their fans by making them mega favourites today.
FC Zurich, the reigning Swiss champion, also 2-2-2 in their last 6 league games, is currently 6th in the Swiss Super League made up by only 10 teams. Their GK, Leoni, in their last game against R. Madrid, is terrible. Like what i've said earlier, experience do count and Milan has abundance cos today, we'll be witnessing a match between a very overaged team and a greenhorn in UCL.

Manchester City vs. West Ham United (1-3)
Match Preview
Man City should pick from the same squad that lost the derby, with M. Richards likely to be replaced by P. Zabaleta after his recent poor performance and S. Ireland facing late fitness test. E. Adebayor (serving his last match ban) and Robinho are still missing but Roque Santa Cruz could make his debut. Michael Johnson is also available and should make the bench. Anyway, C. Bellamy is on a hot scoring streak and Tevez is due for a goal IMO.
West Ham, on the other hand, have no luck at the moment. Losing both M. Upson and Behrami in the liverpool game and having lost their last 3 games makes this game even more difficult for them.

Manchester City: 9
