Though Manchester United are not playing very well at the moment they are still a powerhouse in European football and their game against Juventus is going to be very good to watch as long as Jose Mourinho doesn’t play defensively the whole game.

^  Being at home, Mou will most likely let United play more aggressively.  I hope we get to see the same squad he deployed vs Chelsea, or at least see Mata play the AM role again and Martial on the left (which he prolly will).

I think he should stick to the exact formation that he used for the Chelsea game and I heard reports that Sanchez didn't train today which means that he will not be featuring in the game tomorrow and he should be benched until he gets his form back.

Martial gave a smile when Mou said something to him when he was subbed.  Mou prolly said 'you're starting this Tuesday'.  So no Sanchez fo sho.

Man that line up would have been better if it had Lingaard on the right, with Rash as sub.  Rash is better used as an impact player than a starter imho.

Hmm, one has to wonder, what form? Ever since he arrived at Man Utd he's been really poor, no impact whatsoever, I don't remember a top notch performance from him while in the club, it's pretty clear he's way past his prime and I doubt we'll see the Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal again.

Btw, I think Alexis not being in the main squad vs Juventus means that Mou no longer wants him in key matches. There are rumours about Alexis leaving Man Utd in the next transfer window, and tbh, it'll probably be a good move for both him (he needs to be in a lower tier club IMO) and the club (Rashford, Lingard, and Martial need more playtime).

To me United won the game against Chelsea even the jubilation of Chelsea after their  equalizer says it all and the rule of thumb here be don't change the winning team  and so I expected United to play as they did against Chelsea and  it's great the selfish Alexis will also be sitting out of this match. United can improve  even more with this game and can gradually replicate it in the as we move on.

Ronaldo is coming back to Man United
I expect standing ovation to him
It  will be friendly game and result drawn
1-1 i guess

If Bayern will not win today game than it  can  be the end of Kovac

Real Madrid have been performing very badly lately, they have lost a few matches to weaker teams and I cannot imagine how the fans of Real Madrid will react today if their team could not even beat Viktoria Plzen at the stadium of Santiago Bernabeu. In the past, I would surely place my bets on Real Madrid to win this match in full time despite the low payout on the odds, but I guess I would skip betting on this match today since it is hard to predict the performance of Real Madrid at the moment.

Real won against Viktoria just 2:1 and their performance was really not impressive. Yes, they had many dangerous shots, but it's worth to mention that Viktoria players wasted few great chances to score. I'll just remind that Roma won against this team 5:0.
City had easy win against Shakhtar 3:0. I'm a bit disappointed about Shakthar performance, they played really bad. I lost my BTTS bet on this match...
Juve dominated against MU, especially in the first half and earned deserved victory.
It seems that I missed fun match between Hoffenheim and Lyon - 3:3. Hoffenheim scored equalizing goal on additional time.
And about eqrly today match between Young Boys and Valencia. Valencia had good first half, but after half time Young Boys started to dominate and were close to win this match.

I had a great time yesterday played two very smart bets, I knew Real Madrid would win in the champions league they possibly would not loose, though the way they played was scary and it's clear their coach will be sacked soon. In my second match with Ronaldo playing against Manchester United, I decided to play on Juventus winning it and I got it spot on, I was sure Manchester United would not be able to cause an upset.

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Viktoria Plzen. But even though Real Madrid won, their performance wasn't very impressive. I still doubt what if they meet with a stronger team than Viktoria Plzen, whether they will be able to win the match. For now, it's better to skip the match involving Real Madrid first.

[tomahawk9]

it's clear their coach will be sacked soon.

Either Lopetegui manages to snatch the win against Barcelona next weekend, or he'll get sacked. The match yesterday showed the fans that the team is still in a crisis, a 2-1 win against one of the the weakest sides in this round of the Champions League isn't something to be proud of, especially when Viktoria had so many occasions to score.

Poor performance overall yesterday, people in Madrid aren't with the team, and I would be surprised if Lopetegui stays for the upcoming weeks, but like I said, the game vs Barca is key, it's a must win for him.

Looking forward to some games today, PSG vs Napoli could be a fun game, same with Dortmund vs Atletico, and Barcelona vs Inter. I think I might go with a parlay, PSG-Atletico-Barcelona all to win, but i'm not sure.

I thought Real Madrid would have won by many goals difference yesterday at their home against a weak team. It is evident now that without Ronaldo they are suffering in the forward area.

Tonight the game which I am interested to watch is Dortmund against Atletico Madrid, I think it will be a goaless draw and a strong match.

In the past, Real Madrid would have easily score more goals against a weaker team when the match is being played at the stadium of Santiago Bernabeu, but when Real Madrid is playing against Viktoria Plzen in the match yesterday, I did not see the dominance attacking style that Real Madrid used to play in the past, and Viktoria Plzen even managed to score 1 goal against Real Madrid, I guess there is a huge chance to see Real Madrid being eliminate from the Uefa Champions League early in this season.

Real Madrid are now in 7th position in La Liga and i also think that they will be not going to clear the next round the way they are playing.

In Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid match go with Draw / Atletico or Dortmund as their will be draw in first half. Under 2.5 goal is also a good bet.

Game of the night will be PSG-Napoli
PSG is hot favorite but Napoli under Ancelotti  is playing better and better
Hard to predict PSG can win 2-1 or 3-1 but i will give credit to Napoli dark horse and will give 2-2

Barca-Inter Barca without Messi but Barca is going to win if will be not any tragedy in Barca defense

Dortmund -Atletico  Dortmund to win 2-1 or drawn 1-1 both team will qualify

About yesterday games i can only say Real nightmare continue and it is not only caused by Ronaldo absence How easy was for Victoria to create scoring chances
what is going on with Real defense and Real best in the world midfielders

If Marcelo injury will be long term than Real will be even more in trouble
Bayern play is hard to watch that team is without spark

Liverpool will be playing against Red Star Belgrade at the stadium of Anfield today in the Uefa Champions League, this is a match that Liverpool would surely want to claim all the 3 points, I believe with the quality of the players playing in Liverpool, they would easily be able to beat Red Star Belgrade in front of their home fans today, the odds payout on Liverpool to win the match in full time might be low, but I would still place a bet on it and I hope Liverpool will not disappoint me today.

I think it all started with sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, not that he was THAT much of a difference, of course he is one of the best players in the world even tho he got older he was still an amazing performer and I think he can play high level football for at least another 4 years however the "psychology" of him being transferred was more hurtful than the actual transfer itself.

The absence of Ronaldo of course is felt but the "real Madrid doesn't care about what you have done so far, they see this as a business and nothing more" makes other players look for other teams that has more "family team" feeling probably. No one really gives their best anymore because they feel like it doesn't really worth to give their full to this team anymore, they feel like they could be sent any day as well.

Hence, I think sending Ronaldo had a lot more consequences than just "we do not have Ronaldo on the pitch anymore" type of problem.

[swogerino]

PSG is losing but I would not think in this game is a clear hot favourite like everyone else is saying. Napoli is playing well in the boring Serie A Championship and has good quality players, in fact they are leading the game 0-1 so far.

I think that maybe PSG will turn things around but probably not knowing Ancelotti and his pro active style of game play, I mean he attacks in the beginning and when he scores he tells the team to get back and play counter attack.

Barca earned solid victory without Messi against Inter. I just want to say how I'm impressed about Arthur - he is best Barca transfer this season. I just can't understand why Malcom aren't playing. Maybe ut really true that he wasn't needed for Valverde and was bought just as revenge to Roma.
PSG - Napoli match was great to watch and I don't that result of game can be called as surprise. Napoli played really well, but di Maria saved the day for PSG. Now it's very interesting situation in this group before second round.
Borussia 4:0 Atletico. This is surprise. Borussia is in great form recently, but I can't remember Atletico conceding 4 goals.
About PSV - Tottenham match - I don't know why referee canceled one of Tottenham goals - is it was offside really? Now I think it's mission impossible for Tottenham to reach next round.
