Will Barcelona be able to avenge the embarrassing defeat of the previous season? Or will they concede a humiliating defeat again? They lost 6-2 last season. The bonding and understanding between the players of the Bayern Munich team are very good, and this is the main source of energy for them to score a lot of goals. But the bonding between the players of the Barcelona team is not very good. Depay and Aguero, the two main strikers in the team, are both new to the team. I think Barcelona will be defeated today.

It will be great to see Sancho play in today’s game. He needs his confidence and his form back

Today starts the Champions League, you are the first day games:

Young Boys vs Man. United

Sevilla vs Salzburg

Dynamo Kyiv vs  Benfica

Barcelona vs Bayern

Villarreal vs Atalanta

LOSC Lille vs Wolfsburg

Malmö vs Juventus

Chelsea vs Zenit

The match that might be very interesting to watch is the match between Bayern Munich vs Barcelona because both teams do have a capable squad this season, besides that of course Barcelona must prove that they are still the best team even without Messi right now.
My prediction for today match:


Young Boys 1 vs 3 Man. United

Sevilla 2 vs 0 Salzburg

Dynamo Kyiv 1 vs 1 Benfica

Barcelona 1 vs 2 Bayern

Villarreal 0 vs 0 Atalanta

LOSC Lille 1 vs 3 Wolfsburg

Malmö 1 vs 0 Juventus

Chelsea 2 vs 1 Zenit

[Strongkored]

Manchester United and Sevilla should win their games in early matches. I wonder if Ronaldo perform as good as his Premier League game, if he plays like that we can see big goal difference win for ManU. Salzburg made 7 of 7 in Austria league but Champions League is a very different area and I don't think Sevilla lose points at home game. Sevilla didn't play La Liga game this week so players are fresh except internationals. You can parlay these two matches with confidence.

Both Man United and Sevilla are very likely to win, even though this is an away game but they are more favored than their opponents. Parlay in these 2 matches in ML for Sevilla and Man United, and single bets on Young Boys vs Man United match over 3.5, there will be many goals that Man United creates especially Ronaldo who always has desire to score goals in every game he plays.

You totally don't get my point. I never stated PSG to rely on Messi, show me if I ever stated it! What I was saying, if Messi can play with their best performance, it will be good for PSG because it can help the team to win every single match in this season. I guess PSG will plan Messi as one of their key players, and Messi should ask to play regularly as he isn't a typical player who wants to sit on the bench. If Messi regularly plays with their best performance, surely it helps much for the team to win and create a bigger chance to get the titles. In addition, of course, PSG isn't the same as Barcelona, they won't rely on Messi. Messi may not stay a long time in PSG, maybe after 2 or 3 seasons he will go to another club or retire.

I know and I didn't mean that you stated PSG would rely on Messi.    I just evaluated what kind of a game plan we could see. I thought that PSG wouldn't do the same as Barcelona. They never did it and they won't also. Otherwise, PSG would even start struggling to win. If a game plan is working, then they shouldn't make a change just because Messi has joined the team.

PSG will never rely on Messi completely. They will definitely give priority to Messi and will consider Messi as the key player for the Champions League matches. But they will not be completely dependent on Messi. The PSG squad includes players like Neymar, Mbappe, and Di Maria. So they have no need to rely on just one player.

I think Manchester United will win the match tonight. Even if the young boys draw in the match against ManU, it will be the surprise of the night. Juventus will take the away win against Malmo. The most important match of the night is the Barcelona-Bayern match. I think Bayern Munich will win this match.

I bet on them too, no matter what strategy will be applied I personally believe the favorite teams will win. Yes, the Barcelona - Bayern match is probably the most awaited match, but with the current Barcelona squad I personally also don't believe they will be able to win even though they are playing at home. Hopefully this will be an easy match and bet for me because I'm just trying to at the beginning how they will play, which of course can be taken into consideration for the next match.

Still, they can push Bayern Munich with the Camp Nou effect. Therefore, it would not be correct to say that Bayern will definitely win. I think the other favorites will still win today though. I also included in my bets that Chelsea, ManU, Juve, Sevilla teams will win, except for the Bayern match.

[LTU_btc]

So, finally Champions League begins.
Main game today is Barcelona - Bayern. I think it's difficult to expect that something similar can be repeated what happened last time when these teams played. But we don't have much chances against Bayern today.
MU should win confident today and expect Ronaldo to score.
Despite that Juve looks bad this season so far, they should beat Malmo.
Sevilla are favorites today, but I think bookmakers understimate Salzburg too much.
Villarreal - Atalanta should be fun game, despite that start of season isn't good for both teams.
Lille - Wolfsburg and Dynamo - Benfica games looks difficult to predict too.
And Chelsea should win confident against Zenit even without Kante.

[cygan]

if everything goes normally, i see bayern as the clear favorites today at camp nou.
barcelona will then have no chance today to beat bayern, who are in very good form at the moment.

[abhiseshakana]

I wonder if Ronaldo perform as good as his Premier League game, if he plays like that we can see big goal difference win for ManU.

Of course, he will perform as well as in EPL league because he is in good mood. He should play with his best form once he is in the best condition. Moreover, it is in UCL, it is a special football competition for him. Everybody knows if Ronaldo has a great history in UCL, especially when he is in Real Madrid. He must also have a strong intention to win UCL title with Man United as well. In addition, I believe Ronaldo still dreams to be the top scorer in UCL this season.

One of the possible reasons why Ronaldo left Juventus is because Juventus failed to get into the Champions League. So playing in the Champions League with Man United was the moment that Ronaldo really wanted, and for that Ronaldo will certainly play all-out.

It will be very interesting if Ronaldo is played as a starter and can play the full 90 minutes but if considering the Young Boys Level is below Man United, and Ronaldo has recently joined Man United, so it is possible that Ronaldo will not be played as a starter (or he will play as a starter but didn't play the full 90 minutes).

[Pulsar77]

One of the first games today that is drawing my attention is Young Boys vs Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo started superbly by scoring 2 goals against Newcastle. And I wonder what he will be able to do here against Young Boys. I think that he will score at least one goal here too. I'm expecting to see Manchester United destroying their opponent by scoring at least 3 goals and conceding none.

[3meek]

Just a huge number of great matches today! Probably the match of the day is Barcelona v Bayern... The odds are clearly in favour of Bayern, but I think Barça will be able to fight back on home field...
Chelsea v Zenit is also interesting for me, because Zenit is the most expensive Russian club, which will be decimated by Chelsea today!
And Man United will probably score more than two goals against the Swiss!

[KTChampions]

The odds from the bookmakers are very eloquent
7,00 - 5,00 - 1,43
and everyone is waiting for victory from Manchester, but by the way, purely theoretically, I admit that the Young Boys can draw - after all, this is a passing group match and it is difficult to expect maximum motivation from Manchester. Probably for this reason I will not place a bet in this match.

@1.43 is a very low odd, I don't see value in betting with this type of very low odd. in the long run it does not bring profit. but talking about the game manchester united is very strong now that they have cristiano ronaldo, i particularly believe that manchester united will win this game, they are strong and are candidates to win the champions league this season in my opinion


Inter - Real Madrid

I'm worried about this game, I'm a fan of the real madrid, in the last games I haven't seen the real madrid have good results I say that because they can't easily beat the small teams in the la liga, the only team in the la liga that they managed to win easy was Alaves

1,43 is not a bad odds for such a simple match. If you bet $ 100 and win, then when you find a second match of the same kind, you can bet $ 143 and get (if successful) $ 204. It turns out a doubling of the deposit in just two matches, I think that Manchester is quite capable of winning such two matches in a row.

As for Real, they have big problems in defense judging by the number of goals they concede, so in the match with Inter they may be defeated.

[KingsDen]

...but if considering the Young Boys Level is below Man United, and Ronaldo has recently joined Man United, so it is possible that Ronaldo will not be played as a starter (or he will play as a starter but didn't play the full 90 minutes).

It was actually the consideration and underrating of this type  that caused Manchester united some troubles last season. I want to state it that there are no under dogs in the champions league. If they were below as you said, they shouldn't have been in the CL, best for them would have be Europa.
Again, talking about benching Ronaldo in CL is a no go area. Ronaldo's favourite league is the CL, the only reason that will make him watch it rather than playing it is injury. Ronaldo cannot be rested in the CL, unless only wants to instigate the fans against himself. Even to sub him will be difficult because he has records he will need to improve.

One of the possible reasons why Ronaldo left Juventus is because Juventus failed to get into the Champions League. So playing in the Champions League with Man United was the moment that Ronaldo really wanted, and for that Ronaldo will certainly play all-out.

maybe I misunderstood the meaning, As far I know, Juventus didn't fail, they on the champions league with the H group: Chelsea, Malmo, and Zenit. they play tomorrow vs Malmo, that is possibly a way to show they still have power for resurrection without Ronaldo. Juventus just need extra motivation because they play at Malmo's home.

And I wonder what he will be able to do here against Young Boys. I think that he will score at least one goal here too. I'm expecting to see Manchester United destroying their opponent by scoring at least 3 goals and conceding none.

If Ole didn't change strategy, do the same formation as yesterday, it is possible Ronaldo makes at least 1 goal. lets we see if Fernandes passing the ball to him, then 2 goals will happen,  this situation happen when he came as a single forward without greenwood (Under 21 years old - B list)

[Slow death]

if everything goes normally, i see bayern as the clear favorites today at camp nou.
barcelona will then have no chance today to beat bayern, who are in very good form at the moment.

I think the same thing too, and for this game I bet on bayern



barcelona without messi are weaker, they were already weak even with messi and with messi leaving the situation only got worse


Dynamo Kyiv - Benfica

I'm more inclined to bet on benfica to win this game

Juventus in the Champions League plays today with Malmö. Ronaldo left Juventus as he felt that the team led by Allegri would not be able to compete in the Champions League in the coming years. Manchester United has more chances, although not very great.
