Greece have lost their last match in WCE against Switzerland, but they are still in first place in their group 2. After this defeat the hosts will look for good result against favorite in this match Italy. Rehhagel is criticized in Greece sports newspapers for that he didn’t make materially changes in team with team who win Euro 2004. New name for this match is only Vasilios Koutsianikoulis - a 20 years old midfielder who play for Greece Ergotelis. Other players are well known Dellas, Katsouranis, Basinas, Karagounis and others from Euro 2004.

Italy, as always make a slow start of qualifies but their play is improve with every match. Even with many injured players Lippi didn’t call Del Piero, who is in brilliant form of the beginning of the new season. Prilo, Di Natale Aquilani are injured goalkeepers Buffon and Amelia also. I expect Gianluca Curci or Morgan De Sanctis to begins this match. Good news for Italy team is returning for this match of  Legrottaglie and Camoranesi.

Soccer prediction and bookmakers odds for match from Carling Cup - Arsenal vs Wigan - 11.11.2008.

After few poor matches Arsenal beat Manchester United in Saturday and ends bad series for them. With this win they keep their chances for the title.

Wigan are very nice team, but with bad results this season. Last match against Stoke they was the better team but the defense of Wigan was more than stronger and the match ends 0-0. Wigan desperately needs of win and this, that Arsenal will play with youngsters give them a hope for win in Emirates stadium. Bad news for Wigan is that, striker Heskey have an injury and probably will not be in start up 11.

Last five Wigan matches:

Wigan - Stoke 0:0
