UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[mv1986]

Benfica plays out at Dynam Kiev and is already leading 0-2 while it is only now half-time. It is too early to say that the game is over, but it is clear that the prospects for Benfica are very good. Had a top season in the Champions League last year and now they seem to be qualifying again. If Kiev still wants to have a realistic chance of qualifying, they should not lose this game at home because Benfica has a strong team and a new trainer (Schmit)

Dynamo Kyiv surprised in the previous elimination they played with Fenerbahce and passed the round in the second match.  I know it's hard, but if things go well in the second game, maybe they can take the game to overtime.  An early red card from Benfica could bring Dynamo Kiev to the round, for example.  Of course, these are very difficult possibilities.  Most likely, Benfica will be the last team.

Even though I wish Dynamo the best of luck chances are close to zero that they are going to make it to the next round. Benfica is a strong team in home games and they also won their first two games in the league without conceding a single goal. It isn't looking well for Kyiv and Benfica isn't showing any signs of weakness whatsoever.
The only possibility is what you just said: a really lucky situation in the game maybe early on, but other than that this is most likely the end for Kyiv in the champions league.

Trabzonspor can still make it to next stage. FC Copenhagen won the first game 2-1 maybe but I don't believe it is very disadvantageous for Trabzonspor. Maybe they are more inexperienced in this tournament but they are stronger in fact. They just weren't strong enough at defense in the first leg. If they improve this they can beat their opponent in Trabzon and eliminate them.

Trabzonspor has a good chance in front of their fans. There is no doubt that we will see a full stadium in Turkey and its gonna get heated. It will be the match to watch,but they still will have a lot of problems because they are a goal down. Copenhagen also has experience in champions league so it will be really hard even with a full stadium for Trabzonspor.

I don't know why bookmakers are giving Trabzonspor the favorite, I know Trabzonspor will play at home but there are two big disadvantages for Trabzonspor:

1 - In the first leg Trabzonspor lost

2 - in the last game of Trabzonspor they lost against Antalyaspor, they were simply destroyed, they conceded 5 goals. Trabzonspor's defense is not good, I think that at most what Trabzonspor can achieve in this game will be a draw


Today we have 3 games:

FK Crvena Zvezda - Maccabi Haifa FC

this will be another game more complicated to predict who will win although the bookmakers are giving favoritism to FK Crvena Zvezda, I think that BTTS is a good choice of bet for this game

SL Benfica - FC Dynamo Kiev

for me i think benfica can win the game

FC Viktoria Plzen - Qarabag FK

this will be the hardest game to predict the result

Second leg for play off match today and as a host Benfica will more comfortable to faced this match because they already win 2-0 before and recently i had seen Benfica records that since last season until now Benfica can get 11 consecutive won so this proven they were quite strong especially play at their home ground and for today match Benfica had good opportunity to win the match but i'm thinking they will not force to win the match and want to playing safe so possibly they will playing more defensive than first leg and for bet purpose probably under 2.5 goals is good

Yes, Benfica's advantage in the second leg match against Dynamo Kyiv is because Benfica is the host and Benfica has pocketed 2-0 on aggregate in the first leg of the playoffs last week, and now is the time for Benfica to defend its position.
and Dynamo Kyiv have to fight extra because in a position behind them playing at home which I think is difficult, because Benfica will not let Dynamo Kyiv win and Benfica will continue to attack, and also defend.

@bering I totally agree with your assessment and definitely Benfica should progress ahead, but I feel that they’ll sit back more rather than try for a third goal. Lastly it’s champions league so Dynamo will know that upsets can happen, hence I’m sure that they’ll push for a result therefore my prediction for this fixture is 1 - 1 or 2 (Dynamo) - 1 (Benfica).

We can say that Benfica has already completed its tasks, in this match there are no questions about the winners. The match that can be very interesting today is Crvena Zvezda - Maccabi. In the first match 5 goals were scored and there is hope that there will be many goals in this match too, Crvena Zvezda will attack as they need to win this match. And most likely Maccabi will also be able to score. I think we will have a good fight, a difficult match and a lot of yellow cards.

So you think Draw or FC Dynamo Kiev bet with 3.40 odds is good? In my opinion this is too good to be true. Benfica do not win games in the Champions League as often as they would like, so in the home game, driven by the fans, they will play to win. Therefore, a bet on Benfica to win with odds of 1.30 looks more reliable to me. Dynamo showed a too weak game in the first match, it is not clear how they can improve.

[ingiltere]

Let's be real, Dynamo Kiev have absolutely zero chance against Benfica in Portugal. They need to win with three goal difference, which is almost impossible. It's not even %1 chance, but lower. Benfica will probably get another win today at home and qualify to Champions League again. If Dynamo Kiev played in Ukrainian league as usual I'd say they have a low chance but under these circumstances they have zero chance. I see their league will start next week, Dynamo Kiev can try their chance in local league. They are nowhere near ready for European competitions.

This season of the Champions League is a little more different. Because the Bundesliga are sending exactly five teams to the group stage. In addition to Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Leipzig, E. Frankfurt are also here thanks to winning the Europa League title. The Bundesliga is the only league that has more than 4 teams in the group stage now.

This can give a nice advantage to the German teams to increase the coefficient of their country even more. Germany are right behind Italy in the rankings and maybe they can even take the third spot from Italy. However it is very hard for them to catch up with England and Spain. Because there is still a huge quality difference among the Premier League, Serie A and the Bundesliga. When Bayern Munich's domination starts to diminish then things can change about this too.

[wiss19]

Maybe I will be losing this big time, but I had three games in play. Copenhag will beat Trabzon, PSV will beat Rangers, and Zagreb 1.5+ goal difference win. That's going to be quite tough but I feel like it's going to be a pretty good win if I can achieve it. I am not confident in this bet at all and there is a good chance that I will lose maybe even all of them, it is not impossible.

But, I did a parlay with them and I am going to end up believing that it's going to be working out for me. If it does then rest of the week is covered because just the win from this bet will be enough to make the bets of all the other games during this weekend again.

[Gencecikmen]

There were UEFA Champions League Play-off 2nd leg matches tonight. Probably no one doubted that Benfica would beat Dynamo Kyiv.  Benfica got another won today at home and qualify to Champions League again. I am saddened that Qarabag has been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. But Qarabag should blame themselves for wasted chances in 1st leg. Because Plzen were not that much better team.

honestly in my opinion it doesn't matter if they send 4.5 or even 10 teams when there's only one and only strong team, the rest of those all bundesliga teams will be eliminated soon and they don't have any real chance of winning the champions league, but in the case of the premier league and the league they have at least two teams with great chances of winning the champions league




I did very well to have bet on these champions league games, benfica is unstoppable, they won and managed to score 3 goals and they won't even concede goals, I'm wondering how far they can get in the champions league?

[bering]

Last week PSV has successfully playing draw against Rangers i think is important results because Rangers is the favourite on that match and they were quite strong during play at their home ground and today as a host PSV had ambition to win the match and 1 goals is enough for them went to group stage so they confident will beat Rangers this time and recently i had checked the odds for PSV was @1.7 this quite decent odds for me to bet

[Pierre 2]

I think Trabzonspor Kopenhag bet may be big for many people. Considering I watched Trabzonspor in later weeks, they definitely have issues at central midfield position. They have good offensive players that help them score a lot, their wingers are efficient as well. But they can't handle if their opponent has  high quality passers at midfield. Especially fast players can keep control of the game. Kopenhag will likely beat Trabzon.

[fzkto]

Today is a key match for Dinamo Zagreb. They lost the last game with a minimum score, so I think they have a chance of winning. Especially the home stadium can help. Dinamo's last home games were marked by a high number of goals scored. I hope they will win today.

[execijutiere]

In the matches played yesterday, Benfica won 5-0 on aggregate. He really dominated the game from the beginning to the end. Dynamo Kiev was not in the match.
Haifa, who won the first match 3-2 at home, drew 2-2 away. With this result, he became the winner of the round.
I think that today's matches will also have plenty of goals. Trabzon will want to play a dominant game for the round. For this reason, both sides will score goals as the game will be open.

Yes indeed, Dinamo Zagreb has a chance to qualify but Bodo/Glimt itself cannot be underestimated at all. The home factor for Dinamo Zagreb does have a good effect on them, at the same time Bodo/Glimt for European tournaments don't seem so good when they play away and it's very different when they play in the local league. So yes, the point is that Dinamo Zagreb should not underestimate the opponent, the fact that playing at home makes Dinamo Zagreb have a very good chance to qualify.

They have good offensive players that help them score a lot, their wingers are efficient as well. But they can't handle if their opponent has  high quality passers at midfield. Especially fast players can keep control of the game. Kopenhag will likely beat Trabzon.

I think it was bad luck in the first game. If Trabzonspor had not conceded an early goal, they would have played a different game as the score was tied. When they conceded an early goal, the players panicked a bit, and when they conceded the second goal, they broke from the game plan. It was a game they would normally have ended in a draw. Abdullah Avcı will want to keep the job tighter this time and be the leading side. Because if Trabzonspor falls backwards as a score, the probability of turning it is very low. But if they take the lead in the match, they can control the match. If Trabzonspor wins differently, the match will go to extra time. Then anything can happen. I think Trabzonspor still has a chance.

It all depends on the draw that will take place tomorrow. If Benfica falls into a group like Bayern + Liverpool, then its path in the Champions League can be considered completed. Given Benfica's UEFA club rankings, it could fall into a group like Bayern + Liverpool + Napoli or PSG + Tottenham + Inter. In this case, even the 3rd place and access to the Europa League will be unrealistic. In any case, they will have an interesting fight in the group stage. The stronger the opponents, the more interesting it will be for the fans.

Dinamo Kiev got lucky in the rounds before to get to this playoffs,they are really bad and without any foreign players you cannot plays such a big tournament. They got destroyed by Benfica and it could have been a lot worst for them. Haifa really got lucky in this duel with those two lucky goals
