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

[tomahawk9]

you have to be very careful about betting at this stage...

yeah, i lost a couple of singles last week (i think they were big upsets, tbf) so, we could be in for more surprises tonight, but hey, no risk no reward, right? i'll try my luck again,

first ticket today is Midtjylland - Celtic , BTTS. Odds got slashed in the last couple of hours, i saw it earlier today @1.9 and now it's 1.79. I think Celticwill advance to the next round, but the home advantage for the danes could be a nice boost in confidence/performance, it might help them put up a good fight today

Really good value for Olympiacos win today - 1.95. 1st leg ended with minimal OLY win, so they are still not confident about next round and win will be needed to avoid drama.
Cluj - Lincoln Red Imps. Cluj won 1st game just 2:1 against Gibraltar amateurs. But I think today they are going to win big, so over 2.5 goals @1.62 is safe bet IMO
Ludogorets - Mura - 0:0 in 1st leg, I don't think we can expect many goals today too. Under 2.5 @1.85, or safer option NO BTTS @1.50
I expect Crvena Zvezda win, but odds is too low to bet.

Agree about BTTS. But personally, I would like to see Celtic eliminated and I think it's possible.

Can't believe I forgot to put in my tickets today. Even missed a 4/1 special at my favourite bookie for Celtic to progress and score first -- which they're well on their way towards now after a slow start in first half. They did ruin my acca on the first leg though...

HT results are all looking rather predictable so everyone doing fav accas should be doing well.

It's been a really great day for to be very honest, it was the exact opposite of the first leg where I lost every bet I placed, The odds were literally much better today and going as predicted, I really need just PSV, Young Boys and Ludogorets to see out their respective win and I would complete a clean sweep of all my bets today ☺️☺️

Congrats, I had to be fancy and I went with my favorite both to score options on couple of games. Most passed but still need that one goal from Rapid and I know I will not get it since there is no away goal rule anymore and 1:0 leads to overtime. I lost last few tickets on the last match of the mutli and it will be same here it seems.

[LTU_btc]

Well, for me it wasn't profitable day. Yeah, there weren't many upsets, but my bets for goals over/under wasn't successful.
Biggest upset is Celtic loss after extra time. Well, I said that Midtjylland win is possible. And they played much better than in 1st leg, while Celtic didn't had much to offer.
It's been a while since Celtic played in group stage last time. They also gave league title to Rangers after long dominance - really not best times for Celtic.

[snipie]

Am I the only one who doesn't care about these games? 

For me, the Champions will start with the draws and this year they will be the 26th of August.

For sure not
Since I am not familiar with most of these teams and have no intention to, I just follow the results and see if known names will progress to the next stage.
So far, zvezda made a surprising 5 goals in the second leg although it was behind 1-2 in the 1st leg. Sparta Prague too scoring 2-0 vs Rapid Wien, both matches didn't finish yet.

[notblox1]

Celtic was very close to progress in next stage of Champions League after McGregor scored first goal but Midtjylland managed to equalize, win in extra time and progress in next phase playing against PSV.
My prediction was still correct for this match because I predicted double chance X2 and it was 1:1 draw in regular time.
First leg of semi finals are played next week so there is not much time for rest.

I took the liberty to follow your pick (btw odds jumped back up to 1.89 minutes before the match), parlayed with Galatasaray - PSV btts, which was my main bet of the day. I thought the Dutch couldn't care less after the first leg and we could see goals, welp that late red saved the day for me.  

ps. 1xbet (1xbit) are back and front of the jersey sponsors of Kairat, i hope Red Star smashes them at home, fuck those shitty cheating sportsbooks, amirite?

Wish granted, 5-0, Serbs are through to the next round.

Here's the third qualifying round pairs:

D.Zagreb - Legia
CFR Cluj - Young Boys
Olympiacos - Ludogorets
Crvena zvezda - Sheriff Tiraspol 
Malmo - Rangers
Ferencvaros - Slavia Prague
PSV - Midtjylland
Spartak Moscow - Benfica
Genk - Shakhtar Donetsk
Monaco - Sparta Prague

[Woodie]

These uefa games are promising to have goals and all my games I had on my watch list have produced goals, though the Celtic verse Midtjylland game went into overtime which isn't what I expected.

Can't believe I forgot to put in my tickets today. Even missed a 4/1 special at my favourite bookie for Celtic to progress and score first -- which they're well on their way towards now after a slow start in first half. They did ruin my acca on the first leg though...

these are my kind of bets, which bookie is this you use for the specials?

HT results are all looking rather predictable so everyone doing fav accas should be doing well.

HT I would go for the draw any day, playing the favorites is not my thing because the price is mostly too small.

That's some crazy fixtures man! I've not even seen a game I'd willingly take to win, I might likely go for total bets or teams to advance over 2 legs instead of the regular bets. PSV looks like the easiest one though.

[coinlocket$]

Sometimes I care about these ones more than the real CL

I guess it all depends on where you're from, for some of us from smaller countries these games are huge - because winning them means your local team can get into the CL. If you take CL for granted because the team you support plays in it every year - then these games are boring as hell because the quality is sometimes really low.

Yeah, you are right, I forgot about it.
I'm a Juventus fan and usually, we are already in top groups but the year was very close to being out from the Champions and the next one will maybe be banned .

I'm looking now on teams of the list and some are really interesting teams like Monaco who were a strong team some years ago, the good times when Campos built the team.

[Joca97]

What a win by Crvena Zvezda today to turn it around. After losing unexpectingly in the first leg 2-1 now they have won 5-0 but Kairat came without 4 players due to covid. Also Crvena Zvezda had only children in the stands due to uefa punishing them

Sportsbet. They have specials on tennis, football, cricket, events and tourneys practically every four hours or so, every 2 hours towards the evening.

I do accas on favourites, but no less than 15/10, although I do have a bad tendency to lump 4/5 favs together, and spice it up with a "can't lose" leg at small odds.

yeah, congrats to Zvezda, it seemed really easy
in the end, only Celtic did not made it to next round from the favorites list, they are knocked-down by Danish side Midtjylland

will be interesting next week, there are several good pairs, Dinamo is playing with Legia, Monaco is in to face Sparta, while Olympiakos is facing Ludogorets
Crvena zvezda should have easier job with Sheriff from Moldova

I think it's normal for Crvena Zvezda to turn things around against Kairat Almaty. They are not worth it, the quality of Crvena Zvezda is already far above Kairat Almaty.

Just Check Out Kairat Almaty's Players? Even Vagner Love (Useless Old Brazilian) Was There

It was a big statement by Crvena Zvezda to turn around the tie after a stalement draw away from home; up next they face Sheriff FC, Can they get an outright qualification this time around? But what has happened to Celtic, their decline has been immense few years from now.

My picks are, Young bOYS, Crvena Zvezda, Rangers, Donesk, Monaco, What do you think ?

The sheriff will not be a problem for Crvena Zvezda, the match should be even easier than it was with Kairat. Midtjylland was stronger than Celtic, it was really a very strong pair early on, congratulations Midtjylland for a decent win. Also the Young Boys beat Slovan as I expected.

[DU18]

One of the Turkish giants had to bury their dream of playing in the Champions League this season after being defeated by the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven with a score of 1-2.

Monaco - Sparta Prague

Hmm, most of those matches are pretty much a toss-up imo, except maybe Cluj, Monaco and the one that could be my main ticket in the bet slip (depending on the ML and asian handicap odds) Red Star - Tiraspol. Gonna be a walk in the park for the serbians  (famous last words? lol)
