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

[Naida_BR]

Maybe my bet leads to an under @ 2,5 goals in the game. I don't think that we are going to see many goals scored.

Did you go for under 2.5? hopefully not, I watched some highlights and the game could've easily ended with a bigger scoreline, like 1-4, Krasnodar didn't stand a chance.

Olympiacos to win and Red Star + Zagreb to qualify.

parlay @6.21 ✓

Those last 10min in the Red Star vs Young Boys were pretty stressful lol (the other 80min were by far the most boring football i've seen this year), but as I expected, the home team went through and they will be present next Thursday in the CL group stage draw. Last year they got Liverpool, Napoli, and PSG in Group C...Hopefully, they'll get an easier group this year (:

I have a feeling the games tomorrow will be more difficult to predict.

Sadly I did bet for under 2.5. I didn't think that olympiacos will be able to score more than 1 goal.
I'm at least happy because some members here bet for olympiacos win and the won their bets!

The preliminary stage is almost over and I think Red Star Belgrade did a great job yesterday night by managing to qualify in the group stages against a team that last year at home beat Juventus and draw to Valencia.

I also played a live bet for Dinamo Zagreb to win when they were losing 1-0 but missed it otherwise I would have won big because the odd was at that point 13.3 at sportsbet.io site.

It was quite expected that there will be more goals, i watched the game, and it could have been easily few more goals in both nets. When you loose first game 0:4, you have to open up, so naturally opponent will have plenty of chances. As i said yesterday, over 2.5 was safest bet.

Dinamo Zagreb went through much harder than expected, they weren't good last night, 1-1 was good result for them considering how they played.

Red Star wasn't impressive in both matches against Young Boys , but they managed to go through, for me their best player  in these CL qualifications was their goalkeeper, Borjan.

[slocker]

Yea last night was stressed for Dinamo and Red Star fans. They had to see all 90 min for those two teams to go into group stage of Cl. How they can play in same group if the draw is like that. Friday is the day when we will know groups in both CL and EL.

[Who’s excited for tomorrow’s draw when we will finally come to know which club will be facing each other.

It's almost time for the real football business in Europe, and I'm certain every fan is excited, whether or not their favorite team has made it into the competition.
Liverpool are again looking sharp this season and would definitely put up a huge defense of their title. I feel Barcelona would be their biggest threat in the competition.

[slaman29]

Been a long time since I talked about Champions League but now it will be really interesting to see who joins the big boys at group stages.

I see that Red Star already qualified to next round so we see a familiar face there.

Messi is having a terrible start to season but I hope he is fit for group stages. I don't know how to ever forget about Roma and then Liverpool, getting KO'd two seasons in a row after a 1st leg win by 3 goals.

I'd rather meet Liverpool in group stage first in this case. And KO Real en route to final. I'm dreaming right?

[buwaytress]

@toma and @Harko seems you guys think like me. I parlayed on Olympiacos but I took the Red Star WIN rather than to qualify... so lost my 9/1 parlay. If not for the own goal...

I went with Cluj last round and I know they're playing away now... Prague are strong at home and they have the away goal but the Romanians just need to score one and it's all even. Score 2 and then they have advantage. Not the easiest thing to do at all but I don't like the other odds so that's my pick tonight. Cluj at 6.5/1.

[narcopop]

I will go for something unique. Betting on Ajax in not so logical. This ain't the same team as last season. Two leaders sold to other clubs, the team doesn't have this flow, the defense is unsure. You never know what they gonna get today. Especially considering that they're in a hard, must-have situation.

Well, there isn´t much choice in quali-matches tonight imo, so if nobody is in imminent need to bet anything for the sake of betting (I hope nobody here is in that situation, otherwise hotlines may be provided if desired).

Ajax (Ned) - APOEL (Cyp) (1st leg result 0:0)

Club Brugge KV (Bel) - LASK Linz (Aut) (1st leg result 1:0)

Slavia Prague (Cze) - CFR Cluj (Rou) (1st leg result 1:0)

I will skip them all, leaning back and wait for the group-stage-drawing tomorrow.

[Barcode_]

Ajax will get into a tough position if APOEL FC are able to score even 1 goal against Ajax due to the away goal advantage in this match, so I guess the players of Ajax will focus on their defense too while attacking aggressively in this match. The odds payout on Ajax to win the match in full time against APOEL FC is low but I think Ajax should be able to eliminate APOEL FC, and this might ends up as a low scoring game for both teams.

I have actually placed bets on all them and not just for the sake of betting. I expect goals tonight.

Ajax - Apoel (BTS)
Brugge - Linz (BTS)
Prague - Club (Over 2.5 goals)

[tomahawk9]

@buwaytress yeah, sometimes i skip ML bets in 2nd legs and go for 'to qualify'.
Anyways, looks like we're also expecting an upset tonight, huh? Good luck!

I watched the 1st leg, and they were pretty bad. I've said it last week, Apoel should've won that game, but Onana was immense.

Today I'm going with Apoel to qualify. If they can go into the 2nd half with a draw (easier said than done), i can see Ajax going into desperation mode and Apoel capitalizing on Ajax shaky defence with counter attacks (they were pretty good with counter attacks in the 1st leg).

I have a contrary opinion, I know it's going to be a tricky match for Ajax as they don't have any other advantage different from playing at home, but I'm sure they'll win the match rather convincingly.

Ajax to win at halftime with an odd of 1.59 seem quite of value, IMO.

I understood your thought but, if you see what Ajax got to offer today you will be very sure that they will perform beyond expectations in this game. Their flop during their last game was a reason to disbelieve them but, that is the power of soccer. Come sun or rain, Ajax will take this game up seriously because of their reputation.

[DeathAngel]

Let’s just get the whipping boys out of the way tonight so we can watch the group stage draw tomorrow

Well Ajax would probably win.

Last season they weren't that good in the beginning of the season. The team had to grow and hopefully they will grow this season as well.

A single goal from APOEL Nicosia will be enough to eliminate Ajax from the competition, both goalkeepers were in superb form during the first leg of  the game but with Ajax playing at home, i believe they have a great chance of qualifying unless APOEL can dash their dreams like Tottenham Hotspurs did last season.

[swogerino]

Ajax should play seriously for real tonight and not just think that we have the qualifiers on our pocket,that can be a self-destructing mentality even for team like Ajax.APOEL has got nothing to lose,if they lose the game they are already qualified for Europa League group stages so they will play stress free tonight,I would not be that surprised if the game end 0-0 and is solved on extra time or penalties.

Ajax is not having a good defensive line.
This was obvious at their previous round leg when they faced PAOK.
I would go for a bet APOEL winning and over 2,5 goals in the match.

[LTU_btc]

So, no surprises tonight and now we know all participants of UEFA Champions league.
Slavia 1:0 Cluj. Slavia reached another deserved victory and they are just better team. I remember them from last Europa league season and I really like to watch how they are playing.
Ajax 2:0 Apoel. After bad performance last week, now we saw totally one sided game. I don't agree with referee decision to cancel one their goal, IMO it was passive offside.
Brugge 2:1 LASK. Most interesting match. Brugge reaches group stage But I'm impressed about LASK, they played very well until red card as obvious underdog.
