UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[rahmad2nd]

Frankfurt is not too bad this season, they are now in 4th place in the Bundesliga standings but if they face Napoli I don't think Frankfurt will be able to do more because Napoli are far superior in quality and also Napoli's performance for now is pretty good so it's only natural that in this match Napoli will be heavily favored in the two legs played.

it's not a very balanced match so I don't think there will be any special attention in the match between these two teams because Napoli's percentage of qualifying is very large.

The round of 16 match will not be easy for Oliver Glasner and his troops. because after all, Glasner is well aware that the opponent they will face later is not a weak team. plus, Frankfurt has tough matches in the next few weeks after the Bundisliga restarts. at the very least, Glasner's attention will be on focusing his squad more on maintaining their ranking in the domestic league.

On the other hand, Napoli is a strong team that is one of the challengers to be reckoned with in this competition. after all, Napoli have more depth than Frankfurt's players. So it's natural that many of us prefer Napoli both away and at home. after all, Napoli are top of the standings in their domestic competition. however, I'm sure Luciano Spalleatti will not underestimate his opponent. because after all, this fight is the first meeting of these two teams.
Likewise with Frankfurt, at least they will provide a fierce resistance when they face Napoli at their own base later.

Now let's try to discuss another match in the last 16 of the UCL between Frankfurt vs Napoli. In the first leg Frankfurt will host, it seems they don't need to hesitate because of course the support of fans will fill the stadium. Meanwhile, Napoli, who came as guests in this match, will definitely want to score goals as an aggregate capital when the second leg will be held at their home. Do you think Napoli can get a win in the first leg later? considering their performance is very consistent in the regular league.

The match between these two teams is still long, both teams still have a good opportunity to improve the performance of each of these two teams, for the time being it is a little difficult for us to predict who will win the first leg match at Frankfurt, but we are sure that Napoli will topple Frankfurt at home and away, Napoli is the favourite, and now Napoli's performance is still very consistently positive, and here Napoli has a very good chance of beating Frankfurt.

Now we can only wait for this game to be held in the title, and we will all know what will happen while the game is running, but what we really believe is that Napoli's performance is superior to Frankfurt.

Frankfurt is not too bad this season, they are now in 4th place in the Bundesliga standings but if they face Napoli I don't think Frankfurt will be able to do more because Napoli are far superior in quality and also Napoli's performance,, for now, is pretty good so it's only natural that in this match Napoli will be heavily favored in the two legs played.

it's not a very balanced match so I don't think there will be any special attention in the match between these two teams because Napoli's percentage of qualifying is very large.

One must not be too certain about Napoli winning against Frankfurt. Even though Napoli seems favorable in all their matches, I don't think Frankfurt will be an easy side in the UEFA champion league. Frankfurt isn't doing too bad in the German Bundesliga, and Bundesliga is quite tougher than Italy Serie a. Napoli may probably not seem too good if they were a team in Bundesliga. champion league competition requires different needs from domestic leagues so it's wrong to bet on Napoli to win because of its domestic league performance.

Napoli was performing so well in serie a and that's even better compared with the performance from Frankfurt in the bundesliga. If you are comparing the performance from both of clubs in their own local competition and I thought that napoli will be a winner caused by napoli was able to make 13 times win streak without any lose and this time it's starting again to make another win streak. It can be said that Napoli always performs better than Frankfurt. Then, I think that Napoli has a bigger chance than Frankfurt to win the next match in the Champions League. We know that Napoli played well. I wish Napoli would destroy frankfurt. I have fully headed to Napoli for my next choice

[Juggy777]

I have to say that Liverpool are really struggling at the moment. I can see, bringing in Cody Gakpo to the team has not made any noticeable difference to the performance on the pitch. Jurgen Klopp's loss against Brighton was something that was totally unexpected. Due to the fact that they have had a really rough run of form, I have a feeling that they are going to have a very hard time playing against Real Madrid. In spite of the fact that Real Madrid recently lost their final match against Barcelona, overall Real Madrid are in a far better state than Liverpool at this point in time.

Just the fact that Real and Liverpool lost, shows that these teams are not all right. And if for Real Madrid the last game with Barcelona was unsuccessful, and perhaps this is an isolated case, then for Liverpool this is a frequent occurrence, they alternate victories with defeats throughout the season and it is not clear what can be expected from them. Therefore, Real Madrid will be my favorite here, but most likely both teams will score goals in matches, because they have a good attack and not the best defense, especially Liverpool.

Those teams real madrid and liverpool have been getting bad results from the previous matches. It can be said that if those teams were declining in their performance. I think that's gonna be a very difficult way for both to win the match in the UCL. real madrid and liverpool will be facing in the UCL. The match gonna be very hard to predict caused by when we were comparing both and those teams are equal at this moment but liverpool has a horrible result in EPL. I can also lose against brighton which was a low-tier club in the EPL.
Real madrid is much more favored in this match caused by it has a better result compared with liverpool in the domestic league.

@asriloni I believe that sooner or later Liverpool board will have to take a bold call i.e. continue to back Klopp or sack him and allow a new coach to start fresh with the current squad and if you ask me I would suggest that they consider bringing in a new coach. Also I expect Real Madrid to score many goals against them, and thus I don’t expect Liverpool to win against Madrid and depending on the odds wagering big on Madrid won’t be a bad idea right?.

yeah I think so, as long as Liverpool will always perform the worst like last match and kloop may be sacked in the future.  Liverpool may try to give kloop some chances before the management will think about sacking him. It's caused by Liverpool will be even closer to the match against real Madrid. I don't even think Madrid could win with so many scores. Madird is also having the same problem like Liverpool. Betting on Madrid seems to be a very good idea at this moment.

Napoli has clean record of good performance in the Champions league this season, from the their  performance in the Champions league they strength to qualifying from the round 16. Am so convinced about Napoli's performance that they will victory over Frankfurt.

That's wrong mate. Napoli didn't have clear sheet in the champion league. Napoli got beaten by liverpool in the last match from the group qualifier. that means napoli was losing a match in the group qualifier but it's not a problem at all caused by napoli was able to go to the next round. Napoli was still having good performance at that moment. The continuation of its clean sheet gonna happen again once napoli will be frankfurt. Frankfurt itself was a good team in bundesliga.
It's sitting at the fourth position in the bundesliga. I shall remind you that frankfurt was able to be a champion of europa league last year. It seems like that the team has a very good motivation to beat napoli in the last 16.
Napoli is far superior but it doesn't mean it can't be beaten by frankfurt.

Napoli and Liverpool only lost one match in Group A, and it was between them. They both played well at home, which is why they both have identical points in the group stage final. To be honest, teams change and I have seen it all over Liverpool, I doubt if they will be able to pass through the knockout stage but I can say for Napoli statistically and physically, they are in good form and currently top Seria A and no team come close to them, Frankfurt is also good in Bundesliga but I will pass Napoli for the win of the qualifiers stage than Frankfurt, they even struggled their way out of the group stage to this round of 16.

After all, every bettor has their own judgment and you can't blame those who choose to bet on Napoli. Because after all, basically the result of every match can also happen, so there's nothing wrong if they choose Napoli or Eintracht Frankfurt to bet on.
But apart from that, in my personal assessment of Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt are the two teams that are doing well this season. Although Eintracht Frankfurt is not as good as Napoli in their respective local leagues, the fact is that Eintracht Frankfurt has had tremendous improvements from time to time.
Therefore, both are still good and they are not wrong if they choose Napoli or Eintracht Frankfurt for this Champions League game.

Current performance both team between Real Madrid and Liverpool are at inconsistent performance after losing last match, I don't think good comparison because Real Madrid still at the top current standing La Liga position than Liverpool drop from UEFA Champion League standing spot.

Clearly, Real Madrid have better performance than Liverpool in domestic league exactly after losing face by Liverpool at last two matches in a row. I still list with Real Madrid will qualify to next round because have quite well performance this season than Liverpool loss their habit at top 4th standing position in Primer League.

[TheGreatPython]

Liverpool's performance is not stable. Their team is not weak. They have a strong enough squad. Despite having a lot of star players, they are not playing well. It seems their problem is tactical. Liverpool suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Brighton in the last match. With such a fragile team, it is not possible to win the Champions League against experienced opponents like Real Madrid. Against Liverpool, we will see the dominance of Madrid.

Right now main problem is performance is not stable because they are doing things which are surely needs to be fixed, but they are having nothing improvement in long run despite having few star players results like Brighton are not acceptable which needs to be having change otherwise they will be not able to stay into top ten while they were fighting for the top four which is currently the hardest job with current form and performance of the defense which is ruin by many teams in last few weeks and no one understanding what's going on around them.

With result like this they can't think about any positive result in Champions League specially while they are going to face Real Madrid which is defending champions and have good unit even also facing some issues, but they are still better than RED DEVILS.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona underestimated Frankfurt last year and were eventually knocked out of the tournament by them. But I don't think that something like that can happen to Napoli - they are not a top club, they are eternal underdogs in Serie A which are often close to the title but never achieve it (hopefully this season this tradition will be broken), so they are hungry for victories and they cannot "relax at the top" for the simple reason that they have yet to climb it.
If Napoli decide that playing in the Champions League is as much a priority as winning Serie A, they will beat Frankfurt big.

In addition, the Bundesliga hasn't started yet because they have a long break compared to other leagues, so we also don't know whether Eintracht Frankfurt's performance will continue to be good or maybe decrease. Because if we don't consider Eintracht Frankfurt's current performance then of course, our view of Napoli is indeed very good at this moment.
With Napoli still very strong at the top of the Serie A standings, I think it is clear that Napoli will be assumed to win smoothly. Because if Napoli's position in Serie A is safe enough then of course Napoli will be able to play with good gameplay too when they play against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

The fact that the Bundesliga restarts much later than the rest of the leagues will probably not affect the chances of the teams in the Champions League (and other European competitions) - German clubs will have enough time to "warm up" and the clubs of other countries will not have time to accumulate fatigue for it to matter (the only thing may have an impact - injuries but this is a random fair for everyone).
It can be assumed that most likely the teams will be in optimal shape and Napoli are obviously stronger here.

I believe that sooner or later Liverpool board will have to take a bold call i.e. continue to back Klopp or sack him and allow a new coach to start fresh with the current squad and if you ask me I would suggest that they consider bringing in a new coach. Also I expect Real Madrid to score many goals against them, and thus I don’t expect Liverpool to win against Madrid and depending on the odds wagering big on Madrid won’t be a bad idea right?.

No doubt we have too many issues in Liverpool and their performance is also on decline for the long time which is not sign and board members are also losing their patience about this all but after watching all things at Chelsea for me, they will not take any decision in middle of the season even they lost spot into top four and have not good result in Champions League they will try to manage things until end of this season then we can expect some changes or talk about this all.

Even Klopp's strategy not working for the time being and having difficult time, but management understand him and his abilities which is main thing for any coach if they have done like Chelsea then surely this could be created more mess up, and they can go down or even out of the rang which is currently having for them.

[CLS63]

I don't want to disrespect Frankfurt of course but I don't give them a big chance against Napoli now. Because Napoli are still destroying nearly every team standing in their way. The World Cup break hasn't changed much thing for them. I don't expect them to play differently in the Champions League as well. They would do their best to achieve the biggest success they can.

Frankfurt are also a decent team as you all said. Maybe they can do something in Germany but I still don't think they will have a very close matchup. Napoli would have the control in their hands most of the time and move on.

Klopp should be given a little time to see if he can fix the team back to the normal Liverpool, he is a good coach and has helped the club,it is just that things are not working for him. I don't know if Tue poor performance of the team is from his side or the players side.

It will be a terrible day for Liverpool when they will playing Real Madrid, if they don't buggle up because Real Madrid will score so much goals in the match and this will be a shame to the fans of the club and the club itself, but I don't think that match will be as easy as that. Klopp will try his best to see that his team will be fit for that match.

I think Klopp could very well turn things around in the club. He has proven time and time again to be very capable to deliver on the club expectations. The blame would in most cases, rest on the manager of the club if the players don’t perform according to expectations. Things may not be going as expected for Liverpool at the moment but that’s just football. You win some, you lose some.

It definitely will not be an easy game for Liverpool when they face Real Madrid as Real Madrid is at their top form and play well. Real Madrid is most likely the preferred team to win the game. One thing I know for sure is that I’m not putting my money on Liverpool in this game.

I disagree that Real Madrid are currently on their top form. Yes before the World Cup break they were brilliant but this Madrid team looks disoriented since the league resume after World Cup. The absence of Touchemane has been a big blow to them. It also seems Vinicius jnr is either suffering from fatigue from or is having an un disclosed injury because he seems to be off it this season. This problems gives Liverpool a glimpse of hope for their showdown but Liverpool on the other hand aren’t doing themselves any favors by playing poorly since the return of the league and if this inconsistency doesn’t stop before the match week then Real Madrid might be on course to eliminate them.

I think if the comparison with Liverpool at the moment it is clear that Madrid is still better.
Even though I am a Liverpool fan in this case, I admit that Liverpool's performance is clearly worse now, so they really need to play even better if they still want to be on the Champions League stage.
We know how strong Madrid are and we have lost the previous meetings. The hope is revenge of course but with the current conditions I'm still a little unsure of Liverpool's strength.

Real Madrid have been even better than Liverpool most of the time, not just now. Liverpool have only won 6 titles compared to Real Madrid's 14 titles so far, meanwhile Liverpool are only 1 title ahead of Barcelona which ranks 5th in the acquisition of titles. Real Madrid's performance this season is also better than Liverpool's, but you can expect something different in the Champions League considering that Liverpool have only lost once in the group stage.

Revenge is not an ambition that Liverpool must have every time they meet Real Madrid in the same competition. Liverpool should only have to think about how they can play well and finish the match with an important victory, that's because revenge for them will only end more tragically as it has in previous seasons. Maybe, Liverpool's hard work this season will beat Real Madrid especially because Real Madrid has also had problems with their form recently.

The history between Liverpool and Real Madrid has its own story. Real Madrid is still ahead of any team when it comes to the number of UCL trophies. At the moment Real Madrid is still in consistent condition both in the domestic league and the UCL, they always get the best results from every match and when I meet Liverpool in the play-offs later I'm sure Real Madrid will win in leg 1 and leg 2.

Liverpool being beaten 3-0 by Brighton says a lot about the actual condition of the Liverpool team,you cannot really expect Liverpool to have even the slightest chance to qualify despite being a fan of them and I am a fan of them too,they simply are not in shape right now and they should start to get themselves on track first in order to have a chance to qualify.I know that in here there are just 2 games home and return and they decide everything and in 2 such games any team can bring out the best of them including Liverpool but they give their 110% in order to qualify.Real is not even in top form now after suffering a humiliating defeat from Barcelona in the Spain Super Cup.

[beerlover]

The round of 16 match will not be easy for Oliver Glasner and his troops. because after all, Glasner is well aware that the opponent they will face later is not a weak team. plus, Frankfurt has tough matches in the next few weeks after the Bundisliga restarts. at the very least, Glasner's attention will be on focusing his squad more on maintaining their ranking in the domestic league.

On the other hand, Napoli is a strong team that is one of the challengers to be reckoned with in this competition. after all, Napoli have more depth than Frankfurt's players. So it's natural that many of us prefer Napoli both away and at home. after all, Napoli are top of the standings in their domestic competition. however, I'm sure Luciano Spalleatti will not underestimate his opponent. because after all, this fight is the first meeting of these two teams.
Likewise with Frankfurt, at least they will provide a fierce resistance when they face Napoli at their own base later.

I think it is not that bad for them, they do not have too much pressure on themselves. Sure it looks like they are ging to have to work really hard to win, but at the same time they do not look like they are going to be upset if they lose neither.

Nobody from their fans would blame Glasner nor any of the players if they end up losing, they are expected to lose and they will lose and they will go back on focusing bundesliga. They are not doing great at Bundesliga to begin with, so it's much better if they could end up winning there instead. This is of course a trouble in the long run, why shouldn't they end up with a win, if they could, but they can't hence it's alright.
