don't bet big on barcelona because barca can only win small, or even draw. after a tiring match in the champions league, and the gap points from Athletico, they will definitely play safe.
Tiring? They kept ball possession throughout the whole game and Man Utd didn't even attempt a shot on target  Starting XI confirmed for Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Wagué, Murillo, Umtiti, Todibo; Vidal, Riqui Puig, Aleñá; Malcom, Murillo y Dembélé. No Messi or Suarez on the bench, so, in case things go south, Coutinho would be the only one that can save the day. Very unlikely that they'll drop points today, though, their B team is way better than Huesca's. Another big match tonight - El Gran Derbi between Sevilla and Betis. Sevilla still fighting for last Champions league spot, while Betis are very close from Europa league zone.
The most exciting game this weekend in europe after Liverpool vs Chelsea. Looking forward to it. I think Barcelona might drop some points tobgoing by the starting line up and the bench, Huesca is also battling relegation so they'll fancy their chances of getting the maximum points against this Barcelona's team, it's still deadlocked so far with 20 minutes gone into the match. |

Petition to skip the 3rd & 4th prize as they are less than entry cost and it would suck winning either of those but they could make 1st & 2nd prize a bit more sweet. Perhaps late but if everyone were to agree I think that'd be great  We can still make a vote here since the first game has not started yet, I agree with Hhampuz. It would be nice if all participants will approved to amend the rules. I agree w/Hampz as well. Personally I think we should only have 1 payout, but I'd be cool with 2 as well. I also agree to have the 3rd and 4th prizes scrapped, and I guess if the votes are anything to go by we've got the majority already, but It still has to do with all participants coming to an agreement, for fairness and transparency. |

For the first round my picks will be Raptors, Bucks, 76ers, and Celtics for the East, while for the West I'm going with Rockets, Nuggets, Blazers and Golden State Warriors.

Newcastle with an Impressive away win against Leicester City, Newcastle are now 10 points clear off the danger zone and they look certain to remain in the premier league. Leicester City dominated the match in terms ball possession but Newcastle didn't fall short in terms of goal attempts and shots on goal.

Weird to see that MU received three more votes after losing 1-0 to Barca. Are you guys really objective here ?
Lol, I'd say they are day dreaming of another come back after their heroics against PSG in the last round, A game in which they didn't play even well and were just lucky. |

Kane is out until rest of the season
it is official bad luck for Spurs
Personally my dream final was Juve-Ajax
Now Ajax-Barca Ajax win 4-3
I was interested in how Kane's absence was going to affect Spur's odds going forward, and weirdly Tottenham have a higher win percentage when Kane isn't playing (although the sample size is much smaller): With Kane: - 39 Games - 61.5% win percentage - 1.9 average goals scored Without Kane: - 8 Games - 66.7% win percentage - 1.9 goals scored (Stats from this article)So weirdly they tend to score the same amount whether Kane is there or not, and actually his absence might not affect the team as much as I first thought. Maybe because it gives Son more freedom to roam? Ronnie @ Cloudbetthanks for this stats. I think Son is more important than Kane at this moment. he gave some very important scores while last Kane injury. It's an undeniable fact that Son is in a better form than Harry Kane, but going by the stats I think 39 games with Kane @ 61.5% is very impressive. It could have been possible to have an easy run of fixtures between eight games, but there's definitely no way of avoiding a relatively high number of tough games over 39 matches. |

No, Chelsea and Arsenal cannot meet until the finals, the semi finals fixtures was draw along with the quarter finals fixture. So Chelsea(If they qualify) would play either Benfica or Frankfurt, while Arsenal would play against either Valencia or Villarreal.
I guessed the same after looking at the match fixer. What do you think? Will we see an English final or their will be other parties? I think it's possible to have a Chelsea vs Arsenal final. Looking at the the level of teams remaining in the competition, I think there's a big chance of that happening, I would expect Chelsea and Arsenal to beat any of their potential opponents, And if happens to be an all English Finals, I'd expect Chelsea to lift the the trophy. |

Juventus love signing old players who are past their best don’t they. The Italian league really is a retirement home isn’t it. Players go there for one last, big pay day But those deal can be so crazy right, and It has alway paid of for Juventus. Some times they've get younger players or averagely old 26-29 players for what I'd consider a steal going by the value of players in the recent transfer market, Imagine their deals for Matuidi, Bernadeschi and Douglas Costa. |

Kane is out until rest of the season
That's indeed a big blow for them, At the time of the season where he's expertise will be needed the most. Although, I'm expecting Man City to the tie over and qualify for the semi finals, but I do believe Kane will be needed for Tottenham's bid for a top four finish this season. |

my predict parlay for tonight
Arsenal 0,25 vs Napoli @ 1.97
Praha vs Chelsea 0,75 @ 1.95
Vilareal vs Valencia over goals FT 2.5 @ 2.23
I'm going full body in on Slavia Prague vs Chelsea, I bet on Chelsea to win @ 1.97 Odds, I found the odd very a high and tempting (call it FOMO, I don't care) I mean not to underrate Slavia Prague but, I don't think they stand a chance even against the Chelsea 2nd line up. Thanks to Alonso for that goal, it was a bet saving goal Arsenal with a great win at home, surely with such result in the first and avoiding to concede a goal at home could be very important too, Valencia with a big win away from thanks to the injury time goals.. As far as I can tell, I think it's quite pretty obvious which teams will make it to next round, except of course there are some crazy come backs in the return leg. |

Arsenal already put two goals past the Napoli keeper with ease. They are having a field day playing against them and hope they will keep the pressure and not let up like they have in the past. Since the first half Arsenal controlled all lines so that in my opinion it was not difficult for them to score extra goals My prediction is 3-0 / 4-0  Arsenal looks like a sure win today for them!  Chelsea look to be having trouble in their game with no real chances except for willan but it went off the crossbar.  Now Hazard is entering the game so it might turn around for them to win now! I really do hope Hazard's introduction to the game will bring positive changes too. Elsewhere Arsenal and Benfica are on a rampage, who could have expected it. |

[ I might be wrong, but I have feeling Ajax will qualify at the expense of Juventus, while Barcelona will also advance to the next stage.
Man City will overturn the 1 nil loss at the first leg too, and will face Ajax in the semi finals.
My predictions of teams to qualify.
Ajax
Barcelona
Liverpool
Man City
Ajax played well last night.A team of youngsters but I think experience does matter a lot in UCL.So, I still believe in Ronlado, he can take Juventus to Semi final.And I agree that, Barcelona will qualify for the semi.But I still have doubt on Man City, they played bad against Spurs on first leg.Second leg is thier last chance, let's see What happens! Experience indeed does matter a lot, but you don't think Real Madrid or Bayern Munich have the same experience as Juventus in the champions league if not more, do you ? Ajax have outplayed both these teams, I'm definitely not going to be surprised if they make it through as I find it even more probable. |

MU - Barcelona. Barca played very pragmatic football. They scored just 1 goal
They got the match result but technically Barcelona did not score any goal as it was a Manchester United own goal  Hope an away result can be got from Camp Nou in the reverse fixture, like it was done against PSG Lol! You can only hope for a favorable away result, but I'm sure you definitely won't get one, Barcelona most definitely won't be relying on a 1 goal away win to advance to the next round. |

Why do you think it's a must win game for Miami?
They are officially eliminated from the playoffs. For 8th seed, it is either Pistons or Hornets. I secretly hope Pistons somehow/someway choke in NY, I'd really want to see Kemba get some action in the playoffs.
Jazz, by the way, are pulling a Celtics tonight, they will rest their entire lineup.
I thought they were still in contention for a playoffs spot, Which made me surprised with their odds, But the did is done already as I've placed my bet already.  |

Today's game Brooklyn Nets vs Miami Heat
It is a must win match for the Heat and I think they'll eventually do so, they are currently offered on ML @ 2.805, I'm anyways going for the Heat +4.5 for a 2.02 odds.
Miami Heat + 4.5

Spurs-City surprised me the most last evening.
This evening I go for
Ajax-Juve 0-3
ManU-Barca 2-1 as a surprise (I don't know why but I think ManU will not be the team for Barca)
I'll go with the opposite. I'm gonna say that Ajax will win this one 3-0. Too many things going on in Juve right now and... that Ajax team is special. And Barca wins 2-1 against MU. Despite Joao Cancelo careless mistake which lead to David of Ajax goal and some of the Juventus players not been totally fit for the match and still able to withstand Ajax . I believe Juventus will win this match and the Ajax should be expecting another goal. Concern, ManU and Barca match ManU will definitely loose at home. All I'm just saying is that this Ajax deserve some respect, they've got the balls!!!  |

Almost time for the showdown, Just 5 minutes left. The lineups are out already and For Juventus, Ronaldo is back within the starting lineup, and For Barcelona both injured duo Sergio Roberto and Dembele both make the substitution list.
Ronaldo's return was worth it and I was sure that Mr UEFA would not dissapoint, unfortunately Ajax equalised in the 46th minute I said it, This Ajax team will never back down. They're quite a young squad but they play so well and aren't afraid of taking the match to their opponent, I hope to string another surprise tonight. Barca still leading with the lone goal after 64 minutes gone. |
