For Rangers vs PSV according to last season statistics for home matches Rangers were very strong even Leipzig and Dortmund cannot beat them at their home ground even before met PSV they did epic comeback against Union Saint-Gilloise with score 3-0 so in this match Rangers slightly the favourite but don't mean PSV will easily to defeated because they quite strong and probably Rangers will attempts to win to secured their position on second leg and here is the odds for them

Rangers @2.5
PSV @2.7

My prediction Rangers will win with slim score so i dare to pick them as bet option

From the three games listed here and from the many years I know football I think the only bet I can place is on Dinamo Zagreb or if I want to be exactly sure to bet on them draw no bet in case they draw I get the money back.I think that the quality between Bodo/Glimt and Dinamo Zagreb is clearly different and rarely I have seen Bodo to be up at this stage in the Champions League so that is why I think this is the bet that makes more sense.

For the other games they are difficult to predict as the teams quality are nearly the same.

Judging by how well PSV have played in recent matches, I think they can beat Glasgow Rangers tonight. If PSV were able to draw with Monaco, I think the Rangers are a lower level. I also think it will be an interesting match between Bude-Glimt and Dinamo Zagreb. I expect that in this game we will see a beautiful battle between equal opponents. It is hard to say who will win here.

[LGD2Business]

FC Copenhagen seems to be the favorite as they play at home, but Trabzonspor showed in the pre-match statements that they will take the field to win this match. If we compare the teams, Trabzonspor is advantageous in terms of squad quality and squad depth. FC Copenhagen has the home advantage and experience advantage. FC Copenhagen has always taken part in major tournaments for the last 22 years. They have continuity.
The absence of Visca is a big shortcoming for Trabzonspor. They will use their weapons like Cornelius and Trezeguet. This match will be a big test for Trabzonspor because they are overly guarded in the local league. They will not get such help here.

From of the three matches, I think the match between  Rangers and PSV  is a match worth waiting for today, PSV is still one of the big teams in my opinion, especially since they started the league journey quite well this season and will likely do the same in the play-off match later, especially in the previous match PSV managed to beat a team that was also quite strong, namely Monaco with an aggregate score of 4-3, so for today match I will try to bet on PSV victory with a final score of 1-3, while for other matches:
FC Copenhagen 1 vs 2 Trabzonspor
Bodø/Glimt 0 vs 2 Dynamo Zagreb

I decided not to bet on today's match, I think it's too risky to bet on this first leg match. However, if we talk about predictions, I think Rangers have a chance to beat PSV, they even beat RB Leipzig in the Europa League Semi-Finals last season. So my predictions for Rangers Vs PSV are: Rangers 1 - 0 PSV | Rangers 2 - 1 PSV | Rangers 0 - 1 PSV

For Bodo/Glimt Vs Dinamo Zagreb, this is a very difficult match to predict, they have equal team strength, so most likely the match in the first leg will end in a draw.

[Gencecikmen]

There are UEFA Champions League Play-off 1nd leg matches tonight. Trabzonspor will face Kopenhag. Trabzonspor's starting XI against Kopenhag: Uğurcan, Larsen, Hugo, Denswil, Eren, Siopis, Bakasetas, Abdülkadir, Kouassi, Trezeguet, Cornelius. Kopenhag's starting XI against Trabzonspor: Ryan, Dils, Vavro, Khocholava, Claesson, Zeca, Lerager, Pep Biel, Haraldsson, Falk, Kristiansen. I hope Trabzonspor gets an advantageous score at tonight.

[ingiltere]

I hope Trabzonspor gets an advantageous score at tonight.

Trabzonspor already conceded a goal on the first attack. This is the only goal in all three matches in one third of the games. This score would be enough for FC Copenhagen, they can finish away game as draw and participate in Champions League. Trabzonspor need to take more risk but they also should not let second goal. We may see Bardhi and Djaniny in second half. Cornelius couldn't do much as of now.

[swogerino]

What a poor performance from Dinamo Zagreb.I am not talking about the result as Bodo is leading by only one goal so far and if the game ends like this,I will lose my bet but for Dinamo I see them qualifying easily in the return leg.I am talking about the total domination of the game from Bodo in statistics except ball possession which is better to Dinamo,corners,shots on goals and other attacks are really talking for Bodo,for corners so far they are leading 7 to 1 and this to me says a lot about how this game is going to end,I don't see Dinamo scoring although I hope they do.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Not many things happen in the CL tonight, but at Rangers PSV we don't have to be bored. There it was 1-1 at half time and now it is already 2-2. I think that will also remain the final score, but it is still a total of 10 minutes, including injury time. If Rangers don't win at home, it will be difficult for them. PSV will continue to the home game with a draw as favorite, but the away goals no longer count. If it becomes 2-2 I think the chances are 65-35% in favor of PSV to qualify for the group stage of the CL.

Real Madrid's victory went as predicted. They can easily finish the resistance given by Frankfurt. Alaba and Benzema were the goalscorers in this win. And once again Benzema can play well, he showed that he still deserves to occupy the position of Real Madrid front line. This is a signal, that Benzema will return to being a frightening figure up front.

Talking about Real Madrid, it can't be separated from the figure of their striker named Karim Benzema,
when he is fit and able to play I don't think Real Madrid will have too much of a problem but it will be different when Benzema is injured and Real Madrid don't have a suitable replacement.
We'll see if Benzema gets injured then Real Madrid will really have a hard time scoring goals

Real Madrid won last season,but this season might be difficult for them to retain the UEFA Champions league tittle because most of the teams in the different leagues have bought players from the transfer market,knowing fully well that the season will be more competitive than before,but Real madrid have not done anything at all,they have not made a marquee signing that will boost the morals of the team,although they've not sold any key player that will affect them.But they still need to sign players to be able to compete with Barca,Bayern,Mancity,Liverpool,Totthenham,Chelsea,and PSG.

I think that Real is not any weaker than it was last season and they are again favorites in all competitions.
I would even say that they are stronger than last season because all the key players from last season have remained, and some other very high-quality footballers like Rudiger or Tchouameni have joined.
I wouldn't say that Real have any problems with team morale, desire to succeed or anything else. 
They have a history of success, they know how to get results and obviously in recent years they have that famous x-factor needed to win in the end, which other teams still don't have, like PSG or Manchester City, even though they spend a lot more money on players.

Favorites in all competitions? In Spain I don't know right now, it seems like Real Madrid might have the best team but first we would have to see how things develop for Barcelona.

In the Champions League, however, I totally disagree. How can you say that Real Madrid is better than Manchester City? Did you forget how Real Madrid won their last CL trophy? The game against PSG and City? That won't happen again. They turned these games around with a lot of luck. Against PSG Donnaruma ruined it. If he doesn't make the mistake PSG is going to beat Real Madrid relatively easily.

The header against Manchester City in the final minutes was even deflected from another player, then fell onto the head of the Real player and from there took the perfect curve and landed in the back of the net. I am sure this isn't going to repeat that way. In both matchups against PSG and Man City, Real Madrid was clearly the weaker team.

I think that this year you got to beat Manchester City in order to win the trophy. They will be on fire.

Manchester City may have better players but that doesn't mean they have a better team.
Real has something that Manchester City and PSG doesn't have, which is the habit of winning, enormous self-confidence and faith and determination until the last moment of the match.
PSG and Manchester City players are under huge pressure every season to win the Champions League and every season the pressure only increases, and under such huge pressure mistakes also happen, like in the matches against Real.
Real players handle pressure much better and it shows in all their key games in the Champions League, not just last season.
It is pointless to consider all their victories solely as luck. Luck can offer you an opportunity, but it depends only on your quality whether you will know how to use it.

Real Madrid won that last Champions League title with a lot of luck. I could almost guarantee that such a situation won't happen twice in two succinct years, it just won't.

This is not to say that Real is a weak team, but they had exactly the luck they needed in order to beat PSG and Manchester City. Especially the header against City, a lot of people forget that the header was actually deflected before while the offender already was in the air. Things just worked out. Without that deflection the goal would probably not have happened.

Sure Real Madrid can win it again this year, of course they can. Any team can. Fc Porto once won it. But I would still stick to my word that this year Manchester City is probably the strongest team one has to beat in order to win the trophy. That does by no means mean it is not possible.

In reality, Manchester City and PSG have been investing much more money than their competitors in their teams in recent years, but they still fail to win the Champions League.
The Champions League in the last few years has been won by Real, Chelsea and Bayern, teams that don't spend too much on new players and have a rational financial policy, unlike Manchester City and PSG.
This is just proof that it's not enough to just invest a lot of money and expect sure success, but that other factors are also important, such as building a good team from outstanding individuals, game plan and strategy, team confidence etc.
In the match, at certain moments, some moments can happen that look like ordinary luck, but only quality players and teams know how to use such moments to their advantage.
Unlike other teams, Real's players have a habit of winning and great faith in themselves and their abilities, and they are concentrated at every moment of the game and ready to take advantage of their opponent's mistakes. That is why they are the best and still the main favorites of this competition.
The pressure on the players of Manchester City and PSG to finally win the Champions League is huge and every season it gets bigger and under such huge pressure their players make mistakes in the key moments of the most important matches of the Champions League.
In the key moments of all the important matches of the Champions League, the Real players always play perfectly, without mistakes, and they should be congratulated for that.

I stick to what I said, the last title for Real Madrid was lucky. Donnaruma's mistake doesn't happen under normal circumstances. PSG would have kicked Real out. The second one has nothing to do with will power. When the ball gets deflected and then lands on the head of a defender who already jumped before the deflection, and then heads the ball into the back of a net in a curve that is impossible for the goalkeeper to safe, well, that's a good bit of luck then isn't it?

Also, while Real might not have recently spent that much money, they are still one of the clubs putting down a lot of money for transfers and especially salaries! Manchester City is proving that they are an insane team by winning the PL title with outrageous performances. So far they still lacked a bit of luck. I guess nobody would argue that they were the weaker team against Real Madrid in the CL, no way.

PSG is a bit different. They really have a mental problem. They totally fall apart after conceding a goal even though they still have the overall lead. Neymar is very prone to going nuts and ruin a game. He has done that so many times in the past.

Bayern is a very solid team with a strong balance also in terms of hierarchy and mental stability. They are always one of the favorites.

What a poor performance from Dinamo Zagreb.I am not talking about the result as Bodo is leading by only one goal so far and if the game ends like this,I will lose my bet but for Dinamo I see them qualifying easily in the return leg.I am talking about the total domination of the game from Bodo in statistics except ball possession which is better to Dinamo,corners,shots on goals and other attacks are really talking for Bodo,for corners so far they are leading 7 to 1 and this to me says a lot about how this game is going to end,I don't see Dinamo scoring although I hope they do.

The match between Bodo/Glimt Vs Dinamo Zagreb was fierce, the statistics also tend to be balanced, Bodo/Glimt took advantage of their chances very well, as evidenced by their 2 shots on target, they managed to create 1 goal, while Dinamo Zagreb had 3 shots on goal. can't even score a goal.

In another match we also saw a draw in the Rangers Vs PSV match, my previous prediction was wrong about the outcome, but at least I won my bet.

Although got bad result on first leg after losing 1-0 from FK Bodø/Glimt, I think still have chance for Dinamo Zagreb get come back on second leg and win above two goal if want to get last play off round before playing on champion league. Statistic not really advantage for Dinamo Zagreb because FK Bodø/Glimt success controlling ball possession above 56% and made 16 shots with 2 shots on target, different with Dinamo Zagreb only success made 10 shots although have 3 shots on target. How ever still have one week later for Dinamo Zagreb preparing for second leg match against with FK Bodø/Glimt and need to win above two goals if you want win with aggregate 1-2.

I decided not to bet on today's match, I think it's too risky to bet on this first leg match. However, if we talk about predictions, I think Rangers have a chance to beat PSV, they even beat RB Leipzig in the Europa League Semi-Finals last season. So my predictions for Rangers Vs PSV are: Rangers 1 - 0 PSV | Rangers 2 - 1 PSV | Rangers 0 - 1 PSV

The Rangers play well at home, but away they are not always predictable. It was necessary to beat PSV at home in order to have chances, now that the match is played to a draw, I will say that PSV at home will do their job and will advance to the group stage. Today Dynamo is playing with Benfica, of course I will be rooting for Dynamo, but my assessment of this match should be objective, Dynamo have very few chances, and even a draw will be a good result for them.

@Cryptmuster not sure what happened to Rangers yesterday, because I was very sure that they would easily beat PSV but they ended up drawing this fixture. Furthermore this draw will definitely hurt them, but if they can put in a better performance in the second round against PSV then they’ll yet have a chance to progress ahead.

[fzkto]

PSV played well away as they did in the Monaco game, although I thought Glasgow Rangers would be much weaker, and they played as well as PSV. But I think PSV will beat them in the return game because they play even better at home. Probably the most awaited match today is Dynamo Kyiv against Benfica. I, like most, think that Benfica will win.

The defensive game from Rangers PSV after getting a lot of goals then they always apply a defensive game and so far both defenses are very good and seem to be able to read the strategies applied by each team, at least August 25 will meet again and at least these two teams are still there is time to do practice trials using other strategies so that it is difficult to beat.

Judging by how well PSV have played in recent matches, I think they can beat Glasgow Rangers tonight. If PSV were able to draw with Monaco, I think the Rangers are a lower level. I also think it will be an interesting match between Bude-Glimt and Dinamo Zagreb. I expect that in this game we will see a beautiful battle between equal opponents. It is hard to say who will win here.

Yep , I think the same. PSV team finally mature enough after 3 years to get into UCL groups and I have no doubts that they will make it. The game from last night proved that they are stronger than Rangers and they came back after that huge mistake that led to 2-1 for Rangers and manage to get that draw and almost took the victory in the last minutes of the game.

I can also point out the fact that northern teams are starting to play a better football in the last years and we can see this in Europe groups of UCL , Europa League and Conference League so don't sleep on northern teams.
