Here are the table in the group A after 4 rounds:

1. PAOK 8
2. Rubin 7
3. Tottenham 7
4. Shamrock 0

One thing is more then clear - Shamrock have no chance for one of the first two places. The battle is between the remain three teams. So, the motivation will completely be on Russian side.

The next reason for my pick is the home advantage. And this is not the usual home advantage, with the fans support. Apart from that, there is the weather. It will be very cold in Russia, the temperature should be bellow -10C on the time of playing. Shamrock players have no experience of playing in such conditions. Plus, they will be tired from the long trip, first to Moscow and then with another flight to Kazan.�

Finally, Rubin Kazan won the first match in Republic of Ireland with 3:0. The scorers were ��� Obafemi Martins, Christian Noboa and Gokdeniz Karadeniz. It is very simple, if Rubin was able to win with three goals as guest, why not now at home? Even more as Shamrock haven't played for over a month as the domestic championship finished. So, I expect Rubin Kazan to win with at least 3 goals.
