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

[daarul50]

Group H
Chelsea will win against Lille OSC and this must really win for Chelsea if they want to qualify for the next round. Score (2-1)

Group F
Borussia Dortmund vs Slavia Prague (3-1)
Dortmund has a great chance to win the match before being able to draw against Barcelona and beat Inter Milan.

Inter v Barcelona (2-1)
I believe Inter Milan will win because this is life and death for Inter Milan at UCL.

That could be a trap, instead get a desired winning chelsea could receive the unexpected and unacceptable loss. the must winning match always full of surpises , beware on this match it looks really easy but it is not, despite i choose chelsea to win.
dortmund , they fight for nothing if the match result between inter milan and barcelona ended with inter milan victory but still they have to win this match against slavia prague which is not easy , they are the real underdog among the underdogs! just in case inter milan get draw or lost so they can get through the next round.

my correct score prediction? chelsea 3-2 lille should be an intense match
dortmund 1-0 slavia prague
inter milan 0-1 barcelona

can somebody calculate how much the odds for my correct score prediction above?

3 This match is indeed difficult to guess in its score.
I would have thought that Chelsea would win not knowing its score
Dortmund will clearly win this match against Slavia Praha
Inter and Barcelona I can be sure because Inter now have to win so the game they will continue to attack.

Yeah it's like messi himself is 50% of the Barcelona as a club , no wonder bookies give that much to the market.
I still confident that inter milan won't go qualified easily, it's a 50/50 chance for me . Barcelona get draw or win it with 1 goal difference like 1-2 or 2-3 ... or intermilan win it in struggle and some lucky factors like 1-0 and defending at the rest of the game.

Inter milan urgently need this winning and that's could be a boomerang for them.

To play under pressure like that could bring chaos at the back as they focusing on attack, unless they found an early goal. I've seen how conte playing style works since he was in Juventus and spent 2 years at chelsea.

Yeah, it may all work fine for Barcelona. Barca plays entirely different football in the absence of Messi, players take more initiative and midfield try to open defensive line rather than giving ball to Messi outside the box and hope he will take that to penalty area.
As far as I remember, Messi was unable to play 2 champions league games last season, both of those were also against Inter Milan. But players like Dembele, Coutinho and Rafinha took charge and played pretty well. And how can we forget 5-1 against Real Madrid. Players click better together when Messi doesn't play. However, that doesn't mean Barca is stronger without Messi. His presence alone is enough to win games for Barca.

Suarez is still a very good player but he’s not the magician he once was. Naturally he’s on the decline as he comes close to his mid 30’s. I loved him at LFC, he was amazing, wish he never left.

I am Barca supporter and believe me Suarez is almost finished. He scores because he has Messi who creates most of his chances. One against Mallorca was awesome on Saturday but in the same game, he missed a very silly shot too. He has become too slow and when he's unable to control ball or bettered by a defender, he just falls to attract foul. It has really become irritating as a Barca fan to watch him falling for no reason.

What does everybody think of Tottenham's chances to reach the semi finals under Mou?  Good...?  Bad?

Under the new manager Tottenham is doing very well. At least their last few matches proves it, except the match again Man Utd in EPL. Utd was just super motivated. I am interested to see how far Ajax can go. They were the team full with excitement in the last season and proved everyone wrong in some matches.

Bad to be honest, there are definitely better teams than Spurs. It depends how the draw works out for them, they could get lucky but unlikely imo.

Yes draw is a big factor but in their day Tottenham can threat any team and win the match. So I will not take the lightly. They have good chance.

Dinamo Zagreb has its chance to win over MC since this game has almost no meaning for them. It would be insane for them to go with full force and maybe lost some important player with all those who have already been injured. But Dinamo depends not only on its possible victory, if Shakhtar wins over Atalanta they will secure 2 spot. In any case, Dinamo needs to win in this game if they want to play in CL or EL next year.

A completely open group, all three teams have the opportunity to win 2 spot.

Not entirely true, if Shakhtar wins Dinamo goes to EL even if they lose.
My opinion is they have 0 chance against City, even if City will probably come with a weakened team. Their 'C' team has players that can get into most teams in Europe.

Shakhtar doesn't even have to beat Atalanta for Dinamo to continue in EL, for them even draw is enough in that match and they can loose against City. In that case both Atalanta and Dinamo will have 5 points, but Dinamo has advantage due better goal difference in those Dinamo-Atalanta matches.

It sounds almost impossible and crazy, but Dinamo should go all in against City, draw doesn't bring anything at this point.

All is good for Dinamo unless Atalanta beats Shakhtar, and they are capable of doing  that.

Yea, sorry, that is what I meant to write and thought I wrote

In other news - Man City is bringing all the best available players to Zagreb.

Tottenham and Bayern Munich have been confirmed to qualify for the next round and only prove it for Mourinho against Bayern Munich will this win at the hands of Mourinho? or vice versa as defeated by Man United yesterday in the EPL?
I hope this wins again for Mourinho at UCL.

My tips for today CL matches:

Ajax - Valencia - Home win (Away team has lot of important players that will not play today due to injuries) Last H2H Ajax won away 0:3
Salzburg - Liverpool - goal over 2.5 (Haaland from Salzburg is one of the best scorers in CL and last H2H was 4:3 for Lievpool)

Suarez is still a very good player but he’s not the magician he once was. Naturally he’s on the decline as he comes close to his mid 30’s. I loved him at LFC, he was amazing, wish he never left.

It was Suarez's best time while he was playing in the English league. I also really like him and he is my mainstay striker in fantasy premier league. But now he has gone down a lot. And he started diving too much. I think against Inter Milan in the champions league he will not be played by coach Barcelona

Salzburg - Liverpool - goal over 2.5 (Haaland from Salzburg is one of the best scorers in CL and last H2H was 4:3 for Lievpool)

Do you think that Haaland is going to score against Liverpool? I find it hard to happen.
Also, Ajax might have better players but Valencia needs points to get qualified so I don't think it would be an easy win for Ajax.

[cryptofrka]

Liverpool with Keita in midfield, I'd rather we went with Milner.

A tough game but looking forward to it, we are already experienced enough for these kind of games. Salzburg is an interesting and dangerous team though, I liked that Minamino guy in our first game and Haaland is another one to keep an eye on.

It should be a great one for the neutrals.

[Sterbens]

In a few hours the UCL match will start soon I will try to bet in some of these matches.

Red Bull vs Liverpool - I'm sure this will be a win for Liverpool
Chelsea vs Lille - I think it's very easy for Chelsea to win at home.
Inter Milan vs Barcelona - Many say Lionel Messi will not play so Inter must remain aware of Suarez's movements because he always scores goals.

Bad to be honest, there are definitely better teams than Spurs. It depends how the draw works out for them, they could get lucky but unlikely imo.

I also believe it to be bad because of the performance of the Hotspur lately which also the reason why they are considered as an underdog in this season Champion League but football can be hard to predict sometime because something ones less expect to happen sometime and Mou can be funny in terms of changing the game.

[uray]

Red Bull vs Liverpool - I'm sure this will be a win for Liverpool

I am going with both teams to score considering the past games they always conceded a goal.

Chelsea vs Lille - I think it's very easy for Chelsea to win at home.

It will be an easy game for Chelsea as Lille sits at the bottom of the table and i do not expect any surprises in this match and what i would like to see is how many goals can Chelsea score in this match.

Inter Milan vs Barcelona - Many say Lionel Messi will not play so Inter must remain aware of Suarez's movements because he always scores goals.

I am going to take a risk and going with Inter Milan to win the match as i am not expecting Barcelona to risk Messi in this match.

Inter are the favourites for sure, but Barca without Messi at 6/1? Hard to ignore and that's why I've parlayed them with a Liverpool win. Inter is so irresistible though at their best, but in any case, I still think the game as Salzburg will be the match of the night!

Suarez is still a very good player but he’s not the magician he once was. Naturally he’s on the decline as he comes close to his mid 30’s. I loved him at LFC, he was amazing, wish he never left.

Yeah, the tenacity he plays with, super high energy and chasing down like a rabid dog, that has really left his game these days, but the fact he's still fit when he does play says a lot about the way he maintains his body. Loved him too, he brought us close. Fav moment was his dive celebration in front of Moyes at the derby, you simply don't get enough characters like him these days;)

[FanEagle]

All in all champions league has been a lot different than last year, nobody really is sure anymore about who will win which game, hell the latest champions Liverpool is not seen as a sure ting win for people nowadays, the level of difficulty between two teams got closer this year, back in the day (few years ago only) there were teams that would surely win and those 5-10 teams would win almost all games until they face each other, for some reason there is nothing like that this year, even the team that is at the bottom of the group could beat a team that is at the top and that created something marvelous for the sportsbooks but not for us because we don't know who we should be betting on.

I guess it will get even harder with stages going further as well.

Prediction of games start earlier tonight:

Napoli - Genk
Salzburg - Liverpool

There is no doubt Napoli and Liverpool have bigger chances to win their games.
The odds for Napoli is only 1.2. and for Liverpool is 1.72.
I bet on both Napoli and Liverpool.
As the odds are low I try my luck on total goals too.
I bet on over 4.5 for Liverpool match and over 5.5 for Napoli match. I expect easy games for both Napoli and Liverpool.

Edit: Napoli scored an early goal. Fortunately, I wasn't late. The odds decreased to 1.06

[Harkorede]

I have a parlay with similar games, I have Liverpool to win and Barcelona to win either halves @ 1.89 and 2.64 Odds respectively, I would have loved to take Barca to win too, and I still might though if my 18:55 bets are won... If not I'm done for the day. I'll watch and enjoy the matches.

Turnover for some players of Juventus on the following Champion's League match.

Napoles scored three goals, this means the group tops, the problem is that if Liverpool lose, they will qualify salzborg and napoles, How can Liverpool survive?
