⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid!

[Juggy777]

I think i will keep an eye in the Villarreal Juventus, because Villarreal play really well against big teams and Unai Emery know how screw this kind of teams.
Juventus its not en good shape so maybe we can have a posibility to Villarreal making a big win in his home.

Well actually if you check the odds, the bookies are favoring Villarreal to win against Juventus and also both teams hasnt play against each another ever since 2009 so anything could happen in this game. As for performances in each respective league, both teams are also pretty even as well with Juventus on 4th and Villarreal on 6th but Villarreal scored 4 more goals compared to Juventus though

if I look at the statistic they are just as strong as each other. the odds difference is also not too far there's even something different for every sportsbook. the possibility of a draw is also quite convincing. I look forward to Juventus winning, but when reading all squad, Paulo Dybala and Daniele Rugani aren't playing yet because of injuries. that possible Allegri will change the front formation to be 2 Attacker (Dusan and Morata) and make isn't effective without Dybala. I still doubt who the winner is, but I will put draw 1-1.

Vilareal is struggling to get a ticket to the champions league next year, because now Vilareal is in sixth place in the standings, while Juventus are also struggling to secure a place in 4 standings in their domestic league, it can be said that their chances are equally strong, but I prefer Juventus, because I am optimistic that Juventus can beat Vilareal, because Juventus' game is very different when playing in the champions league compared to playing in their own domestic league, in yesterday's group stage Jeventus was able to come out as group winner, while Vilareal was only able to become a raner -up, I will bet on Juventus in the match tonight..

Villarreal's match against Juventus was a duel of two injured teams in their respective domestic leagues that they played in the Villarreal camp, they are threatened with failing to qualify for the Champions League next season because they are currently in sixth place in the BBVA league standings while Juventus themselves are struggling to win. securing a ticket to the Champions League next season in the midst of their often inconsistent performance, but I think Juventus are superior in terms of their experience when competing in the European Champions League, where Juventus is often the favorite as a candidate to win the champions league, this cannot be separated from the performance which is so impressive that they display in the continental blue competition it is often in contrast to what has happened to Juventus in the domestic league this season, but Juventus are favorites to win in the match against Villarreal in the early hours of this morning.

I agree with everyone’s analysis that Villarreal are the favourites, but Juventus are already hurting from not being on the top in their league, and hence I’m expecting them to fire on all cylinders for this match. Furthermore I’m expecting both teams to play attacking football, and thus I believe that we’ll see plenty of goals scored and at full time the scoreline can be 2 - 1 or 3 - 2 with Juventus winning this fixture.

I'd favour Juventus, too. Both teams are performing below expectations, but I'd say that expectations for Juventus are higher... so if we expect Juventus to play at '10' and they are only playing at '8', we think they are poor. But maybe for Villareal the expectation is only '8', so under-performing means '6'... in which case if we think both teams are under-performing, there's a good chance that Juventus are actually playing somewhat better than Villareal.
I hope that makes sense, not sure I've explained what I mean very well!

It is a match day in the Champions League today. And there are two games:

Chelsea vs Lille
Villarreal vs Juventus

For these games, my predictions are that Chelsea can win and Juventus would get a draw at least. This is a very comfortable game for Chelsea obviously. Lille are no match for them this season even though Lille managed to qualify for this round. Chelsea had an inconsistent period in the Premier League some time ago but their recent performance is much better. And I know how much they care about this tournament too. They would defeat Lille by at least a two-goal gap and become advantageous before the second leg. And the other game is definitely a tie game. Villarreal are a very tough team to defeat in their stadium. And I'm feeling like they won't lose but I don't think they will win either. Juventus would still make use of a draw to finish it in Turin.

[Davian144]

Yes Manchester United did a pretty good preparation before playing in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. The last victory with a far enough goal difference became part of the readiness that was carried out.
This is one of the most awaited matches, of course, not just a meeting between two big teams in each league, but also a meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Simeone.

If Manchester United is against Atletico Madrid, then I see more between winning and losing without seeing a special meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Simeone.
Because if you look at the performances of both clubs for now it looks like Atletico Madrid will win even though Manchester United will also play better and if Manchester United can beat Atletico Madrid, this is something extraordinary for Manchester United at this time.

For Chelsea no wonder they are the favourite to win the match especially as defending champion they have ambitions to get champion league trophy 2 times in a row and also both of teams has been met each other in group stage 2 times as Chelsea the winner of the matches but regarding the odds for Chelsea win most of sportbooks provide low odds for them approximately @1.3 below and to increase the odds i think you have to find other options

[Republikcoin.com]

Chelsea will probably try to score as many goals as possible tonight to have a head start in the return leg in France. I don't think Lille are serious opponents for the English. Lille may not be able to score a goal today.

It could be so, but football is always difficult to predict who will score goals, although on paper Chelsea looks more likely to win tonight because this match is the capital to go to the next round for all clubs including Chelsea.
And I'm also more confident that Chelsea will win the second leg tonight.

That's right, it seems that Simeone is still traumatized when he faces Ronaldo in the UCL.
several times he is in comeback and the main actor is Ronaldo. Of course this will be homework for them although indeed the performance of both teams is very inconsistent now and ronaldo is starting to have problems with age but still it is quite worth watching

[borovichok]

For first leg Juventus should do work hard to beat Villareal because playing at home Villareal were very difficult to defeated especially both of teams never fight each other so Juventus probably blind to Villareal strength and some of players such as Chiesa, Bonucci, Chiellini, Pellegrini and Dybala probably cannot be played for this match because not in the good condition however for bets I personally had two options that draw or both teams to score

For me I would have predicted juventus to win this game at least a goal more than Villarreal but this players that are doubtful is a big problems for juventus because they are important players for juventus it makes me scared to bet for them, juventus defence without Bonucci or Chiellini I wonder how it will be like and their talisman ( Dybala) won't be playing.

Second leg tonight?
It was the first leg for this week's round for the teams competing, I'm curious about things like this they don't really check.
Apart from that and regarding today's match between Chelsea v Lille and Villarreal v Juventus, I only believe that Chelsea do have a great chance of winning the game. But about Juventus, I'm not so sure because the last match yesterday in Serie A was against Torino even though Juventus played at home but Juventus only got a draw. A different result with Villarreal, at least Villarreal got a better result but yes in this event anything can still happen.

neither do I think that the French team can worry a tank like Chelsea
which is in any case a strong team and not at all weak
in fact I bet on the passage / victory of Chelsea

The Blues are 8/25 favourites with Grosvenor Sport with Lille at 19/2 and a draw is 17/4.

chelsea win 1.34
draw 5.5
lille win 12

i bet on chelsea 3 euro for 1.30

bookies opened bigger odds for Juventus tonight and I think that is very reasonable because indeed with the performance shown by Juventus in their last few matches, they are very disappointing, they can only win 2 matches out of the last 5 matches they played.
I predict this match will be a draw or even I bet for goals under because I don't think there will be many goals that will be created in this match.

The recent posts in this thread are interesting. A lot of people are saying how great Chelsea are, and how Juventus are not likely to win... but Chelsea and Juventus were both in the same qualifying group, which Juventus won. I know a lot of this is down to recent form etc., but I do think Juventus will win their game. Sometimes a European match can provide welcome relief from domestic struggles.

But if I'm wrong, and Juventus lose, then please forget you read this post!

[Davian144]

That's right, it seems that Simeone is still traumatized when he faces Ronaldo in the UCL.
several times he is in comeback and the main actor is Ronaldo. Of course this will be homework for them although indeed the performance of both teams is very inconsistent now and ronaldo is starting to have problems with age but still it is quite worth watching

The spectacle will still be interesting and very exciting because the two clubs have also been equally strong in the past even though at this time it has started to be different and I also believe that Manchester United will play very carefully in order to win matches in the UCL in order to retain his position in the follow-up match or in the next round match later.

I see it's not trauma, but Diego Simeone wants revenge after being knocked out several times by the team that Cristiano Ronaldo defended in the Champions League. If Ronaldo had never met himself in the Champions League, maybe Diego Simeone had already lifted his Champions League trophy.
This is an opportunity for him to escape from Ronaldo's shadow. Because we know Manchester United has been inconsistent in its several matches.

Not the best of games in the CL today - it often happens that these early knockout stages are unattractive, at least on paper.

Chelsea should win easily today, whereas I believe Villarreal can really make things complicated for Juve. I will probably watch that one, I hope to see Vlahović in action.

Prefer watching games between Villareal vs Juventus because both team still competitive on domestic league without sure with games between Chelsea vs Lille because have different situation right now for Lille. on domestic league or Ligue 1 Lille is not favorite team right now and will out from threatened not qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season after being knocked out to 11th position this season. I think looks interested match between Villareal vs Juventus although many predicting favorite for Juventus as the winner.

Lille is poor to maintain their standard in defense since August 2021. Chelsea should start with Werner and bring Lukaku later, the opposite team won't be prepared for what will hit them. No other choice, simply an easy win. So, you mean Villarreal might have slightly chance against Juventus? The underdogs could carry the day from the other side.

I have no doubt about Chelsea, they should be able to win the match although Lille may give them a bit difficulty. Regarding Juventus, I have a little doubt that they will be able to win. First because Juventus will play as away team and secondly because they did not play really well in their last few games. Vlahovic is a type of striker who is relying on good assist from the other players, if other Juventus players are not able to give good assist to him, I doubt he can make great action.

Totally agree with all the assessments about tonight I know Juventus haven't been doing well in the league but surely something is off when they're not the favorites against Villareal. They're not the same team they were, no team really is, but Villareal also is going to be highly prone to allow goals. BTTS is for sure, just who will get more goals I guess is the winner, but at the same time both don't mind drawing too with away goals rule gone I would say.

Yes, that will make each team finally have to win in the initial match with a goal, because in the second leg later of course they can apply a defensive strategy which of course has been proven by many of the big teams and can't even do much. Regarding Villarreal v Juventus it is very possible for both teams to score because they both have the ability to score goals and also, the defense that was not so perfect for both allowed them to concede.
