Tonight I think that Benfica is more qualified for the task of going to the group stages compared to PAOK. I think they have a better team and more experienced players than PAOK to win this game and to qualify for the group stages.

PAOK is playing at home and usually the Greek supporting fans are always a plus to the team when they are playing home but still I think this will not be enough in order to stop Benfica tonight.

Just check 70 Minutes gone and Benfica is really on fire and leading match by 4 - 1 its really outstanding effort by them after ending draw at home in second match PSV also leading by 3 - 0 and already in next round but third and final match is in good shape as Crvena zvezda is now leading by away goal and if this match ends on this score they will be in next round but still 20 minutes and any result can happen.

It would be interesting if Juventus meet Real Madrid in the early stage, Christiano drama lol. My favourite contender for champions league this season is Liverpool, let's go Liverpool.

Why not Juve? They are playing good football, now they have even better team than last year. Team from my country Red Star is in league after almost 30 years, so for me it will be interesting to watch how they lose every game, and it's not a joke. But for first place it will be tough fight, I think PSG, Manchester City have more chances than Liverpool. And they wish that throne for years but they don't have luck to get to there.
Anyway great teams, everyone have favorites, I would just like someone to move this Real and someone else to take the throne, I expect great games and maybe if I'm lucky I will go to watch some Red Star game, it depends from many things, I will see anything can happen.

I am glad I placed my bet on PSV Eindhoven in their match against BATE Borisov as the full time result ended 3-0 in favor of PSV Eindhoven, I could totally watch the match between these two teams in a relaxation mode after the players of PSV Eindhoven managed to score two goals in the first half of the match, the players of BATE Borisov did tried their best in this match to create some great scoring opportunity but the magnificent performance by the goalkeeper of PSV Eindhoven ensured BATE Borisov would have no hope to progress further in their qualification to the champions league.

Can say it wont be and in football everything is possible. I more on for how the groups will it be, some interesting opponents and maybe some group of death is eminent.
Maybe it could be RM, MNU, AJAX and INTER Milan, man im always excited with this it always good and unpredictable.

I'm pretty happy two Dutch teams are in Champs League, I happen to be around the area for the current time and any chance of an English team drawing with either Ajax or PSV means I get to watch a game nearby. Just a darn pity Liverpool's in the same pot as them (pot 3) thanks to Benfica's win, so I won't be looking at group stages meet... just hope both and Liverpool get past group stage and end up drawing each other in last 16 maybe! More than that would be awesome of course but tickets get pricier past group..!

I actually prefer Pot 3... meet the big boys early on!

My best on Europa for tonight. Burnley will want to soother their starting pains in the PL so a simple and motivating win @2.35 is on the cards. Bordeaux are my favourites to go all the way, so a ML bet on them @1.93 too to carry on the march.

[Wendigo]

Some Europa League picks from me:

Copenhagen - Atalanta BTS @ 1.80
Cluj - Dudelange Cluj & BTS @ 3.25
Besiktas - Partizan BTS @ 1.80
Burnley - Olympiakos BTS @ 1.87
Bordeaux - Gent BTS @ 2.03

Cheers!

Could Ronaldo make the difference in the CL for Juve?  I just realized that maybe Juve have acquired Ronaldo, not just for the CR7 shirt sales, but maybe he's what they exactly need to get that trophy. 

I think I'll take a CL futures bet on Juve if the odds are over 10... 

[swogerino]

Tonight games are not predictable but I am tempted to go and bet for Steaua to win FCSB now they have a new name with an odd very high since they are playing at home and I think they are a better team compared to Rapid Vienna which is struggling in the local Bundesliga.

I think FCSB will qualify tonight for the group stages of Europa League after missing there for some years.

So we have some really interesing groups:

Group B...By far the most difficult group. Obviously, Barcelona are the main favorites to win the group, but Inter and Spurs will not be easy opponents.

Group C...is there a favorite to win the group? I feel like Napoli, Liverpool, and PSG, have the same chance to win the group, it'll be difficult to guess who's gonna get 2nd place.

Finally, Group H, Juventus is the clear favorite to win the group, but it'll be interesting to see how Valencia performs, I consider them to be one of the best underdogs in this CL.

Also, imagine being a PSV or Young Boys fan right now LOL

Could Ronaldo make the difference in the CL for Juve?  I just realized that maybe Juve have acquired Ronaldo, not just for the CR7 shirt sales, but maybe he's what they exactly need to get that trophy.  

That's exactly the reason. They literally bought Ronaldo because they want to see if he can provide that boost in quality needed to win the CL, after all, he's the Champions League all-time top scorer.

Russian team FC Ufa really disappointed me with their performance against Rangers today, how could they crash out of the Uefa Europa League when Rangers are only playing with 9 players on the field in this match? It is just way too unbelievable that FC Ufa are not even able to win this match in front of their fans with such a big advantage, I think the manager for team FC Ufa would have to do a lot of improvement on his team after this awful game today.

 PSG, Napoli, FC Liverpool, Crvena Zvezda Belgrad

Very interesting group i see many goals here


Juventus Turyn, Manchester United, Valencia, Young Boys Berno 

With current form United can has problems to qualify


FC Barcelona, Tottenham, PSV Eindhoven, Inter Mediolan

Barca and Spurs to qualify

It looks like easy for City and Bayern

Group D is wide open FC Porto to qualify

[Wendigo]

Oh boy oh boy! Dudelange just beat the Romanians at Cluj 3-2 away and the odds pre-match were 13.00. Holy smokes! The team from Luxembourg is going to play in the Europa League. I wish them good luck and many more wins with huge odds

That's exactly the reason. They literally bought Ronaldo because they want to see if he can provide that boost in quality needed to win the CL, after all, he's the Champions League all-time top scorer.

He became the top scorer not because of his own effort. It was due to the support of his previous teammate in Real Madrid. It wont be the same anymore if he is in Juventus. He is no longer a young player that manage to do everything by his own anymore. He is still a top class player and Im not going to deny that but things are going to be different

[Aqualung89]

Benfica e seems to come out of the group, I think the only team there is ajax. Of course Bayern Munich is the leader. In the group where Galatasaray is easy for me, Porto is not that good.

Basically Ajax and Bayern Munich might qualify for the next round. Benfica is not really good enough if you compare to Munich or even Ajax but well who knows anyway, Real Madrid was doing poorly in the local league last season but they managed to win the champions league yet again anything could happen when it comes to Champions League

Ronaldo's return to Manchester, the return of Pogba to Juventus, the return of Cancelo to Valencia it will be fantastic mix of emotions in a very powerful group.

Young Boys seems to be on the sidelines, but any team that squandered points against them would be digging his own grave with his hands.

Juventus is currently the most experienced, the most stable in terms of coach and names, and even the most self-confident. but you can not say that he is the candidate to qualify or lead, neither Valencia nor Manchester United can secure them.

the red devils have started really poorly this season but there is a room for them to immprove if they find the stability they need while Valencia have returned back to Champiosleague in the previous couple seasons they have created problems for Real Madrid and Barcelona and is playing with enthusiasm and intensity. This summer they managed to sign a good number of players to provide offensive options for their coach. .
