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

[Altryist]

PSV played quite well when they beat Galatasaray in the second leg match on 28 July, by beating the Turkish giants 7-2 on aggregate. success, with the skill and good performance of PSV this season of course PSV will easily beat Midtjylland in the match later, i think the match between PSV vs Midtjylland will result in a lot of gos and i will place my bet for a crushing win for PSV with the final score 3-0

I'm not as sure of PSV's crushing victory as you are. PSV is a strong club, but predicting a victory with a handicap of 3 goals is a very daring prediction. Midtjuland will draw conclusions, over the match in which PSV defeated Galatasaray devastatingly, and will play better in defense. But based on the results of two matches, I think PSV should be the winner.

Interestingly,  no one has yet mentioned the possibility of two big clubs from the former Yugoslavia playing against each other again, the first game in 30 years.
Of course I'm talking about the  possibility of Dinamo and Crvena Zvezda playing against each other in the next round of qualifications if they pass their current opponents.
It would really be the game of the century that the whole region would watch with great interest and the result would be uncertain.
This would really be much more than a normal match, with possible tensions and riots.
I think that Croatia and Serbia are not ready for a match like this yet, with  high risk,  and that UEFA should have prevented such a possibility.

You give too much importance to something that should be just one in a series of football matches, regardless of the fact that these are clubs that used to play in the same league a long time ago - and that CZ comes from a country that carried out military aggression against Croatia in 1991.

After all, apart from senior football, all other sports have regional leagues - and if someone has a problem ensuring that matches are played in a safe environment then they should play in front of empty stands - besides, stadiums can't be completely filled anyway, and visiting fans probably won't be an option. Why is everyone sure that Dinamo and CZ will beat their rivals?

A bold forecast. I agree that PSV looks like a clear favorite in this pair, but not the fact at all that the score will be large. As I understand you will be betting on the correct score 3-0? Isn't the risk too big, because PSV can win with any other large score and it will be a shame to miss the money spent on the bet in this case.

If you believe PSV will win big, then I think there are other options to bet that may have the same good chance of winning, such as Asian Handicap and Total goals such as over 3 or even higher. By the way, PSV has better rest time because even PSV is only focused on this match or tournament, and the situation is very different from Midtjylland which has other focus already playing in the league. This makes the chances of winning for PSV very large but even so, I personally don't believe PSV will win big in the match and maybe only win by 2 goals gap.

Today's matches of the Champions League Qualifying.



I think that in any case today the following teams will win their game for sure: Monaco, Rangers, Donetzk and PSV.

In the other games I think everything is open and any team can win the first leg and next Werk the return match for the next round.

[3meek]

Sparta Prague vs Monaco is also an interesting match in my opinion... Bookmakers estimate Monaco's win at odds of 1.8... In my opinion, not bad for this match! I think Monaco will win today... You can even take a bit of a risk and bet with a -1 handicap...

[Barcode_]

Galatasaray is not a weak team but PSV Eindhoven totally demolished Galatasaray by scoring 7 goals against them in 2 matches, and I think Midtjylland will not stand a good chance to keep a clean sheet when they play against PSV Eindhoven today, I guess only traditional European football clubs that we regularly seen playing in the Uefa Champions league would stand a chance against PSV Eindhoven.

Genk - Shakhtar Donetsk O2.5/BTTS @1.82 ✓

Genk had a super wicked match at home this past weekend(friday) losing 3:4 to Oostende, the epitome of what the Belgian teams and league is all about: creating lots of chances, scoring and conceding plenty of goals.

Shakhtar starts their European campaign with a new coach, Roberto De Zerbi, who may be familiar to some of you from his previous team Sassuolo. He preaches offensive football, and i can only imagine what he can do with all those Brazilians available on the Ukrainian team. This match screams goals, which is why the over and both teams to score sounds like a good bet.

Malmo - Rangers O6.5 corners/O1.5 goals @1.55 ✓

Should be an open game, the Swedes will definitely go for a positive result before the reverse fixtures next week.

[LTU_btc]

I still haven't decided which games I'm going to watch today. Only Crvena Zvezda - Sheriff doesn't looks very interesting.
My picks for tonight is Genk - Shakhtar over 2.5 @1.62. Same pick, same odds in PSV - Midtjylland game.
Sparta - Monaco - away win @1.77
Crvena Zvezda - Sheriff - no BTTS @1.57

This match will not be an ordinary football match but a high risk match with possible riots from the fans.
It's not my opinion but fact based on previous experiences.
You really can't compare other sports with football.
I'm not sure  that Zvezda and Dinamo will beat their rivals  but talking about possible match between Dinamo and Crvena Zvezda.
I will never forget match between Dinamo and Zvezda in 1990 and really hope this time will be different.
I really worry about this match because tensions between Serbia and Croatia are to high at the moment.

Currently as i see Monaco is winning and that is a big odd on Monaco for some reason. Crvena zvezda should win as well easily idk if its no BTTS but for me thats an easy win maybe even in handicap for crvena zvezda. Also Malmo currently making a surprise with leading over Rangers 2:0

[buwaytress]

Man, I didn't put big bets tonight, settling for some tight accas and so far so good with Monaco, Cluj and PSV (which I took a HT win) except Rangers already down two goals so I'll be going home disappointed tonight. Going to be tough but they might give themselves a leg up if they can just grab a goal.

No more away goals, right guys? Don't really like that change at all but in any case.

@Joca97: Monaco have been really good value bets even since last season, mainly as they were figured to have a rough time last season (but did not).

So unfortunate because, Rangers have just lost that game. I wonder what is really going on at that club this season. Rangers is one of the teams out of many that I expect to qualify for the UCL next season but from the way they are carrying, it seems they won't be able to survive the qualifiers. They were able to get a goal in this singular fixture with Malmoe Ff 2-1 Rangers but, this should have been a win.  Anyway, it was a good game until it wasn't becuase, I actually did bet my money on Rangers and they lost. Still looking out for some interesting game with Olympiacos 0-0 Ludogorets Razgrad fixture, half time on the way.

your bets look pretty good so far ... except for the game crvena zvezda - sheriff (1-1 at halftime), all other games went as you bet  
can you be asked how much you put in?

[3meek]

Yes! Monaco didn't let me down and my -1 handicap bet turned out to be a winning one! Shakhtar were great too! I wanted to bet on their win after losing the first half with odds of 5.8, but I decided to refrain... A bet on both teams to score also worked! A great day!

I went with a couple of over 2.5, I need one more from either Red Star or Sheriff Tiraspol, I avoided placing any bet on ML or Wins, I felt there going to be a few upsets.

No more away goals, right guys? Don't really like that change at all but in any case.

Yes, unfortunately! It really is a complete turn off for me, the rule has been one of the best thing to look forward during the knockout stages of UEFA Competitions.

[LTU_btc]

PSV same like in previous round, guaranted spot in next roundearly - 3:0 win in 1st leg. Monaco also won confident - 2:0
Olympiakos and Young Boys managed to get draw only after scoring in last minutes. Shakhtar took important away win.
3 more games tomorrow. Spartak - Benfica looks most interesting.

I haven't put much money, just few $ in BTC on every bet.
I couldn't expect that Sheriff can score.

@LTU_btc had PSV or Monaco lost then it would have been considered a big upset, because almost everyone expected them to win. Also what are your predictions for Spartak vs Benfica, will they play out a draw or there’ll be few goals scored in this fixture.

[hahay]

Congratulations on your win and by the way, maybe Genk was lucky to capitalize on the counter-attack into a first-half goal. Because even, according to statistics at least Shakhtar played aggressively from the first half so yes, this victory should have been obtained for Shakhtar because they deserved it. Also, Shakhtar has been a regular in the UCL for the past few years, so it's no wonder Shakhtar will definitely return to play in the UCL in the new season.

[3meek]

Spartak Moscow play against Benfica today... I will probably refrain from predicting this match, because in my opinion the level of play of these clubs is the same... It is possible that both teams will score!
And most likely it will be a good game!

[casperBGD]

~snip

I couldn't expect that Sheriff can score.

it will be a trouble in Moldavia, but expect from Zvezda to go through, they probably think how to play Dinamo in next round, will be a "match-to-watch", if they meet in next round

regarding tonight Dinamo odds are low value for risk, Legia is a solid football club, regarding Spartak and Benfica, Spartak is already playing league matches, and that is their advantage over Benfica, odds above @3 have value, Ferencvaros is the same, odds above @3 are good, they have CL experience, and Slavia is great team, but I do not expect easy win for them

Rangers is as Celtic, they will be kicked by Scandinavians
