UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Gosgosking]

PSG are going to face the champions of Germany who are not even in a good shape, both teams are just not in their prime with injury problem and other issues which are making them play like lower division teams in there respective leagues. Am not sure if this fixture will be the game to watch despite the fact that we're expecting a big game from both domestic champions, well, time will tell if it will be an interesting game to watch. If I should go for a pick in this fixture, I'll go for a draw.

Since these two teams are not in their right shape it will make the game to be more interesting because right now because of the problems the both teams are facing no one knows which team is strong enough to win the game. Psg is my favourite which I will love them to win the game.

Actually I am more worried about PSG's condition, which has even suffered consecutive defeats in two matches, namely by Monaco and Marseille. while Bayern seem to be getting better. However, this match will be very fierce. and of course it is very difficult to determine which team will be superior. But it seems I will take the risk to choose Bayern. and I'm pretty sure this match will be very exciting even though the conditions of the two teams are not at their best.

Neymar and Messi will definitely play for PSG in this match and PSG will be much stronger if Mbappe plays. People don't want to bet on PSG now that they have lost two matches in a row. But I expect PSG to do well against Bayern on the 15th. But in this match I want to bet for PSG. Hope I win my bet.

for games in the Champions League, especially when two big teams meet. Often we cannot predict the outcome of a match. especially when some teams have serious problems that are likely to cost the team.
PSG was hit by not being able to play Mbappe and Messi. a big loss which is certainly PSG's weakness on the front lines. we've seen him not doing so well in the league. and now facing Munich, unpredictable but the best possibility for PSG is a draw.

Mbappe's absence doesn't seem to be worth worrying about, as Le Parisien reports Mbappe and Verati will play against Bayern. The fact that Messi will play in this match was announced even earlier, so PSG will come out in optimal line up, only Renata Sanches and Nordi Mukiele will miss the match, but this is perhaps not a critical loss for the Parisians. The most important thing is that Mbappe enter this game with a fully healed injury so that this is not a hasty decision.

If PSG can play Mbappe and Messi against Bayern Munich, this will be good news for all their fans because their team can field their best squad in an important match. Galtier must maintain PSG rhythm in order to appear more aggressive against Bayern Munich, the defeat to Monaco proves that PSG are not at their best level.
PSG players must realize that the opponents they are facing this time are not easy to beat, they need to maximize every opportunity and control the game to put pressure on Bayern Munich.

First this champions League Round 16, it won't be an easy one for any team Chelsea Vs Dotmund, Dotmund will progress at the expense of Chelsea based on current form,

Chelsea hasn't been winning games but they haven't been playing badly of recent so don't expect Chelsea to be the underdogs against Dortmund. When we talk about the champions league experience, Chelsea has more than Dortmund so they should be having the upper hand. Also looking at the individual teams, Chelsea has a superior team and form what I see form their recent games, they have finding some chemistry between them and them knowing that the game against Dortmund is a very important games, I think they'll turn up more.

Chelsea last game in the premier league which they played against West Ham, saw Chelsea score 3 goals within 16 minutes of play but two was ruled out for offside. Chelsea now has an attacking force that is capable of scoring goals so that should be able to upset Dortmund plans of progressing to the next stage of the competition.

 

If you look at the results of the last 10 matches of the two teams in all competitions, I think Chelsea still won't be able to beat Dortmund. It's not only Chelsea's performance issues that are taken into consideration, in my opinion the Chelsea players still lack coordination and often miss communication between players. Meanwhile, Dortmund have now appeared so consistent and the return of Sebastien Haller has made the attack line even more frightening.

Moreover, Chelsea only won 2 wins and for Dortmund they won 7 wins, with a result like this it is certain that they will experience failure in the UCL. Chelsea's first leg match must fly to Signal Iduna Park which is Dortmund's home ground. I think this season will be a very difficult season for Graham Potter and all of his players.

No doubt that Chelsea is in a whole lot of trouble and their achievements over the last couple of weeks have been negligible at best. Still they have some strong players and we know how these games can go. They are not some second division average club. I agree that if those statistics apply, Dortmund is the favorite and I think that the home game is a huge advantage for Dortmund as the fans are backing their team without a doubt and they'll go the full distance cheering for them. Chelsea is in a more difficult position when it comes to their fans. If Dortmund can score the first goal in Chelsea I think that the fans will slow down a lot and become relatively quiet. I expect Dortmund to go all out in the first leg and perhaps Chelsea might be overwhelmed. The longer Chelsea can keep a clean sheet, the harder it will be for Dortmund. Even if Dortmund will put emphasis on a strong offensive game, they should avoid at all cost to concede some easy, unnecessary goals. Even if Chelsea isn't at its best right now, easygoing nature by Dortmund could still lead to being eliminated.

True, therefore Dortmund must make good use of the bad situation that is currently being experienced by Chelsea. I don't even have good hopes for Chelsea's performance in the match. Dortmund must be able to secure aggregate points at home, so that when they continue the second leg match at Stamford Bridge in March, they have very good capital to maintain their advantage.

You're right about that. PSG has been suffering very bad condition. Even getting defeated by another team two times in a row is unacceptable at this moment consider PSG was a team with billion dollars valuation. I can take the fact from the previous matches of PSG if PSG will not as strong as early season. Messi will be going out from the club. Messi played badly with PSG. PSG can't use its stars anymore to defeat another team. Slowly but surely another team will be learning about how to defeat PSG.
PSG will be facing bayern. I doubt if PSG will win against PSG. The next match gonna be most important match to determine the fate of PSG in UCL.

[Yogee]

Bayern still the slight favorite @2.6 but PSG now @2.65. I placed my bet on B. Munich too early hehe.

... since Mbappe and Messi are still injury. There's an update if Mbappe have been completing the training today, but I think it would affect his performance.

Is Messi really going to miss too? He didn't play against Monaco but I cannot find any source that says he will also miss the clash against Bayern. I don't know if you just interchange their name. Mbappe is most likely to be out but not Messi.

Mbappe not being part of the team will be problem for PSG and already before now psg has lose their games, if Mbappe is to be present in the game I will have more  confidence in PSG winning the game,  I think the way things are for PSG I will choose Bayern Munich over PSG to win. Bayern Munich performance is not bad in their recent match.

[tulusikhlas]

I want to see how far Club Brugge will be able to stay in the Champions League this season. They performed well in the group stage by successfully qualifying and getting rid of 2 teams that were actually more favorites than them. Benfica will be their opponent in the round of 16, in strength Benfica is above Club Brugge in my opinion. However, in this match it is possible that Club Brugge will surprise again by getting rid of them and advancing to the quarter-finals.

As of last week, key PSG players were rumored to be missing the Bayern game. After the injury, Mbappé rejoins the squad. The match against Bayern in the Champions League has been called up for him. As expected, Messi is on the PSG roster as well. PSG lost to Monaco, showing that they had a lack of rhythm. But, will key players be able to restore their rhythm? In the current situation, PSG is deformed and should not complicate matters as the opponents they will be facing are difficult to defeat.

[ajiz138]

Bayern still the slight favorite @2.6 but PSG now @2.65. I placed my bet on B. Munich too early hehe.

There is no difference in betting odds with both @2.6 it will be very possible for PSG to host especially as it is reported that Mbappe, Messi, and Verratti have recovered they are undergoing light training.

... since Mbappe and Messi are still injury. There's an update if Mbappe have been completing the training today, but I think it would affect his performance.

Is Messi really going to miss too? He didn't play against Monaco but I cannot find any source that says he will also miss the clash against Bayern. I don't know if you just interchange their name. Mbappe is most likely to be out but not Messi.

There is also news that Messi has recovered and returned to training today with Mbappe, some media say PSG will return to playing them like rumors are circulating but there is no definite conclusion but I am sure they can play if they have trained.

I agree both teams have some weak games, but that can be cause they are resting players for tomorrow night... CL is an important competition. Bayern looks like a favorite, but I would like to see PSG in the next stage. I think we can expect some goals, and I will probably try with both teams to score & 2.5.

And I will probably combine that bet with Tottenham to win. I am still thinking about it, Milan is weak in the last weeks, and I still remember how Italians generally performed very badly last year... I would like to see Tottenham kicking their asses for all my loses from that time. After some great wins in the last games, I am somehow sure they can do very well in Italy.

Good luck all!

The fact that both Mbappé and Mesi will be playing against Bayern Munich is huge news. I can only image how exciting all PSG fans must be at this moment. It is significant to have your two top players back on the field, especially in such a important match. I'm sure they'll be hoping to make up for their loss to Moanco with a spectacular performance. Having them both back will unquestionably help PSG appear more aggressive and maximize possibilities. However, they must avoid overcomplicatin maters and maintain a fair balance on the field. Bayern Munich will not be an easy opponent to defeat, so Paris Saint-Germain will need to bring their most beautiful game if they want to win.

Bayern were deemed favorite to win against PSG because of the injury crisis been faced by PSG squad. But I think that the odds has change because according to reports the star trio attack of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi were seeing training together with the main team. Messi and Mbappe were doubts for the match, maybe it was just a tactical move. But both teams look set to go toe to toe against each other. I would predict a Bayern win because I don’t see Messi and Mbappe being fully fit to take on the Bayern defense.

The game between Tottenham and Milan is even because Tottenham themselves have been poor in recent weeks, although they managed to cough out a win against city they have been remotely having it difficult against middle teams. Leicester put four pass them in the weekend match. Milan also recorded just their first win from six games this weekend and are also lacking stability. Both teams will have to approach the game in a different style but I don’t think I would place a bet on this match

[flipme]

Paris Saint-Germain FC finished second behind Benfica in the group stage. They only got two draws in the group, and they won all of their remaining matches. But Bayern Munich won all their group stage matches. If you are at the Champions League level, you need a different experience in my opinion. I think this experience is more in Bayern Munich. Of course, Paris Saint-Germain FC also had a very successful group stage. And the last performances of both teams will be decisive in this match. But Bayern Munich are superior to Paris Saint-Germain FC in terms of experience in my opinion.

You have to ignore the risk if you don't believe in PSG. It is difficult to predict the result of the match, because both teams have the same chance to win it. I tend to believe that PSG can overcome Bayern Munich's resistance well even though their performance has fallen in the last few matches.

That is, if you believe in Bayern Munich then you have to be 100% for them even if you doubt that PSG also have the same chance. PSG will probably only be without Mbappe, while Messi and Neymar have the chance to get minutes in the first leg later.

But with this victory, Barcelona is now even stronger at the top of the standings with 56 points from 21 matches. They are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid in second place. Meanwhile, Villarreal are in eighth position with 31 points. If Barcelona stay consistent they will win the Spanish league this season

Real madrid has 1 match left. It must be against elche. I think that real madrid will be winning the match easily. The real gap must be around 8 points in total. La liga has become the main target by barcelona compared with europa league. This time real madrid is also aiming to win more champion league. La liga can also be considered as important trophy for real madrid but let's say that if UCL is far better than la liga. Real madrid can only wait barcelona to get some lose in a row. I know that's impossible to happen but none knows what's gonna be the future.
Real madrid is still having a chance to surpass barcelona even that's relatively small at this moment.

[ginsan]

Neymar and Messi will definitely play for PSG in this match and PSG will be much stronger if Mbappe plays. People don't want to bet on PSG now that they have lost two matches in a row. But I expect PSG to do well against Bayern on the 15th. But in this match I want to bet for PSG. Hope I win my bet.

You have to believe in your own beliefs in making the choice to bet in the match later. Psg defeat in the domestic league is not one of the factors they will be weak in the Champions league. it is clear that PSG will not be strengthened by Mbappe in the first leg, even Messi cannot be confirmed to play in the first leg due to the injury he has experienced. If both of them are absent, maybe only Neymar will spearhead PSG in the match against Bayern Munich.

the advantage for psg in the first leg is that they are the hosts in that match, I think it will be the most interesting match for them because they will get great support from their fans.

[makishart]

It seems like that bayern will be going to the paris with very good mood after winning the match against easily with clean sheet

Matthijs de Ligt seems ready to face two main players that will be the main attacking line for PSG.

Matthijs de Ligt said if PSG was also a team that can't be underrated at this moment.

“We will go to Paris with a good feeling. The fact that PSG haven’t won the last few games doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t in good shape. These world-class players they have can switch from one second to another and play a fantastic game against us. It’s the Champions League and a hugely important game. We’ll play our best football and we’ll have to push our limits to beat them.”

De ligt has been known as a strong wall for bayern munchen. A bit surprised to see that mbappe was also joining in the latest training with neymar and messi. The most interesting match in UCL.

[Wiwo]

It's really a major issue and I read on few articles the punishment might be bigger than Juventus, Juventus was get 15 points deduction, to be honest it's really big enough since it will make Manchester City is high likely can't become a champion.

Manchester City players are mostly best of the best players, it's really a huge lose if they will leave since it will hurt Manchester City next journey.

I hope it's just a point deductions, at least Manchester City have a chance to win in Champions and FA Cup.

Current situation with points deduction are waiting for Manchester City in Primer League after investigating by FA, I hope Manchester City still having consistent performance in Champion League. Have possibility and rumor about Manchester City will get points deduction in Primer League but his participants in Champion League will disqualify or not.

Learned from Juventus 15 points deduction in Serie A not bring impact in Europe League playoff participant, seems Manchester City can focus 100% in Champion League without any punishment although possibility of a points deduction in the domestic league.

The current investigation against Manchester City is the saving grace for Asernal current standing on the premier table and if there be possible points deduction from Manchester city it going to affect their performance in this entire season, both in the premier league and championship where man city did well in last season.
-If there is a possible point deduction I am sure it will be more than the 15 points deducted from Juventus for a similar offence last time.
-But am sure it can't result in a ban because the offence punishment borders around points and that is why Manchester city should be ready to lose some points this season if the outcome of the investigation finds them guilty.

[Ratash]

One of the most interesting games of this round will be played tomorrow, psg vs bayern will likely be a competitive one psg are not very good at the moment they lost two many points and games, their defense is very fragile they conceided many goals recently, that will be their main concern in this game especialy when facing an offensive team like bayern even if they are playing home i give a slight advantage to bayern and i think btts is a good bet in this match.
