Bayern Munich have done exactly as expected with four wins from four and 15 goals scored in those games, an average of 3.75 per game.

Because technology is a given now, I think there is more of a focus from manufacturers on what they can do with design," he told BBC Sport. They have worked out that the bolder you go, the more you get noticed. The shackles are off a little bit and we can push things forwards.

There were doubts about whether he would ever play again but there were also doubts if he would ever walk again if things went wrong.

FC Smorgon is hosting Volna Pinsk as the underdogs this time. Will we have many goals?! Well we can indeed, I expect actually 3.

For that match in November, well in the end part of the league, the odds for the over were at 1,60, so we can actually see great value this year with odds of 2. Confidence in this one is 7/10
