UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[RockBell]

I'm not very positive about Chelsea against Dortmund tomorrow. Because they are still dealing with the same problems. The most important problem is with scoring goals comfortably these days. They had a big difficulty in the Leeds game because of that for example. After having a game like this it is difficult to believe in Chelsea to eliminate Dortmund as a result.

Dortmund are having an amazing period unlike Chelsea. They are still on a lasting winning streak now and they should be more motivated than Chelsea in this. I think Dortmund have a significant chance to advance.

For me, I know Chelsea are already out of the champions league because it would take absolutely wonders for the blues to pull an escape tomorrow because their opponent Dortmund are just phenomenon is terms of their gameplay and performance currently in the German league and also in the champions league as well. Dortmund are already one step into the round of 8 and Graham Potter with Chelsea needs to just be extra special to pull an escape tomorrow. They won their last game but even at that win it was still clear Chelsea are struggling because the three points earn from Leeds was still under serious struggle and I would even call a lucky win.

No doubt Chelsea is surviving in this champions league, Chelsea is broken, and am sure they will lose today's game am very sure that Borussia Dortmund will win, from the records they won their three last matches, and with the current state of Chelsea, no one would have believed that Chelsea will end up this way they really need to work on that team and Benfica playing against club Brugge go for a straight win for Benfica they are far better club Brugge, and for yesterdays game was surprised as Brentford won against fulham 3:2 not a bad game at all.

I checked the odds in my country for next champions league matches:
Chelsea 1.55, X Draw 3.42, Borussia Dortmund 3.78
Our betting company in Türkiye sees its as guaranteed Chelsea win although I think that Dortmund is pretty steady and strong and can resist in this match. Draw odd which is 3.42 is pretty beneficial in my opinion.
For Benfica match its pretty obvious. Benfica has better/stronger squad. I am sure Brugge players are gonna be pretty much demotivated in next match. I would say win for Benfica BUT Brugge scoring at least 1 goal to compensate situation. So sad for them to play this match after 2-0 loss.

It's time for second leg of Round of Last 16. Today's games:

Benfica v Club Brugge
Chelsea v Borussia Dortmund

Benfica and Borussia Dortmund won first games.

What are your predictions?

Benfica v Club (2-0)
Chelsea v Dortmund (1-1) On last time is very hard to score goals and won vs BVB, in 1st match was the fastest guy, Adeyemi but Yellows have a really nice bench, so for me in next round Borussia.

The condition of the Liverpool team is very bad. Once upon a time when Liverpool had Sadio Mane, the team was able to perform incredibly well, but after Sadio Mane left the team, Salah is not able to do great things on his own. Losing by such a big margin to Real Madrid is a real shame.

Liverpool's mistake was not only selling mane but also often making Gomez a starter, he is a very careless defender. the main thing is that all parts of Liverpool are really problematic, apart from a selfish front line, the midfield is also very lazy and not creative.

The Napoli team is currently performing exceptionally well. Napoli team has been able to secure victory in the past matches. Napoli have great potential to do well this season.

I really like the strategy that Spalletti made for his team (Napoli) when using the 4-3-3 formation, all pieces (attack - mid - back) get very creative. Napoli's striker trio (kvarat - osimhen - lozano) is very scary for every opponent because of the compactness they show. with the extraordinary quality shown by the Napoli players, I'm sure they will be able to advance to the semi-finals and even the UCL final.

It is sad for a player like Mo Salah, because according to him they wanted to take revenge on Real Madrid, but it has been seen that wanting is not enough, beating Real Madrid is a dream for many, but it should not be forgotten that Real Madrid flies when they it's about the UCL, it's as if they became the usual galactics, for the quarterfinals if they play with NAPOLI it will be a very exciting game, even so, the winner for me will be Real Madrid, Napoli plays very well, they have a very comprehensive team, but I think Madrid has much more conviction, it will be interesting.

PSG manager, Christophe Galtier, has recently announced that Neymar will be missing the second leg of their Champions League match against Bayern Munich. It's a disappointment news for PSG. Bayern Munich is a tough opponent, and they are already ahead in the first leg. It's unfortunate to see Neymar absent yet again due to his injury. It seems like injuries have significantly affected Neymar's career. Despite this, I truly love Neymar's presence on the field. I hope that Messi and Mbappe can step up in his absence and make a difference, or else it will be very challenging for PSG. Summarizing their recent performance against Nantes, Messi and Mbappe seemed to work better without Neymar. Therefore, I believe their chances of beating Bayern will significantly improve. But, rest we'll see.

There is no doubt about Neymar is one of the best players in PSG, but I have feeling in presence of Mbappé and Messi PSG still have chance to give surprise in this match against Bayern Munich which is also having few issues in this season regarding their attackers so things still under PSG control, and they are not out of the competition even have setback in first leg match but this score 1 - 0 is manageable for them.

With mostly Neymar is having injuries issue after his arrival here at PSG and the performance was never been ideal with Mbappé and Messi duo are really have enough quality and ability to bring positive results for this club, and now they are surely going to give their best for having positive result from this match after securing their Ligue 1 spot at top Bayern Munich is currently also at the top, but they have pressure of Borussia Dortmund which is also sharing this spot with same points.

The reality is that Neymar does get injured quite often and of course, with the injuries he experiences so often, Neymar's performance is also inconsistent. But if we relate it to a chemistry, then I can still say that Neymar always has good chemistry with his team-mates, so whoever becomes his partner on the field, of course, Neymar will still be able to play well.

But yes, even though Neymar cannot be played in the second leg later, I think that still won't be a barrier for PSG to stick to their goal of winning. Although the results may be different, what is clear is that their players certainly have good morale because they have a star squad.

It is very difficult when a player injures his ankle, it is not his fault, it is something that he must strengthen and that is what sports coaches are for, the case of Ney is quite curious, the player has everything to strengthen his ankle and that is done through weights and in the long term, the training must be controlled, Ney is a very good player, I think that PSG is neglecting this, because the club with so many facilities is for which it should have been put in place a control to strengthen the His weaknesses, obviously at this point, if it had been done, he wouldn't have been injured, I hope he recovers quickly, because those injuries are very painful.


Injured Neymar photographed carefully navigating Parc des Princes stands with crutches at PSG's match vs Nantes

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar was in crutches as he attended his team's Ligue 1 clash against Nantes on Saturday.

    Neymar out with ankle ligament injury
    Spotted in stands with crutches
    Will miss midweek clash vs Bayern

WHAT HAPPENED? Neymar sustained an ankle ligament injury in late-February and has since been out of action, but managed to make it to Parc des Princes to take in his team's match.

He didn't appear comfortable as he navigated the stands, and he was also pictured scowling from the crowd, no doubt unhappy to be forced out of action at a critical time in the season.

Football is all about making the impossible possible, real Madrid supposedly are the greatest team in the champions league and have proven their dominance in the league, but this second leg return between the champions and Liverpool is going to be thrilling match to watch especially when Liverpool just had a record breaking inspirational win over inform Manchester united. Liverpool will be going into this at least with their confidence already boosted over their massive victory although Madrid has the upper hand after winning the first leg and are currently playing from home but I feel an impossible feat can still be done by the Liverpool boys.

Forget about their league dominance; Real Madrid just knows when to turn things around in the Champions League when people are about to give up on them. Just look at last season and how they trashed important English teams as if they weren't that important in the first place, and how they always make a comeback in their matches during the second leg.

If Real Madrid were in their position, I might have given them some support in making it out after the second leg, but looking at the situation in Liverpool, they may have just played one of the greatest matches with Manchester United having finished them is a great achievement, but I don't think they will succeed in the second leg.

Real Madrid always surprises us when it comes to matches in the Champions League. although Real Madrid when in La Liga sometimes they don't play well enough. but in reality they always appear different when playing in the Champions League. And Real Madrid is also in a position to prioritize winning in the Champions League. but even so Liverpool do still have a chance even though it will be difficult. because Liverpool must score more goals to qualify for the next round. but football matches sometimes do bring surprises that we don't expect at all. And I can't fully trust Liverpool yet. Liverpool have 1 game in the premier league before the match against Madrid. and I think I will judge Liverpool in that match. and if the results are good then I think Liverpool's chances will also improve. but I think I will still favor Real Madrid. because I can't imagine that Real Madrid will lose at their own home.

Real Madrid will definitely win Liverpool, Liverpool might have a super weekend winning Manchester united but that doesn't guarantee their victory over Real Madrid. Liverpool should be careful with their playing tactics so that they don't conceive much goals up to that of the first leg.

Real Madrid is UCL favourite and they are used to the league. To my understanding, I see that this club has a strategy that they use to turn their games around into a victorious one in this league because if you look at their performance, it shows that they are always desperate to win UCL. From my own view is like this team is built only for UCL which remains the highest league after the world cup.

Benfica v Club (2-0)
Chelsea v Dortmund (1-1) On last time is very hard to score goals and won vs BVB, in 1st match was the fastest guy, Adeyemi but Yellows have a really nice bench, so for me in next round Borussia.

If you are seeing the result from chelsea against dortmund based on the statistic of match and i would say that if chelsea was just unlucky during the first leg. Chelsea has been making so many accurate shots to dortmund's keeper but it's not lucky enough.

Felix has gotten two golden chance to make goals in the first leg but he was not lucky enough as his shoots were inaccurate. I think that bookies are also seeing the overall performance from chelsea in the first leg based on the statistic.
Dortmund is very strong right now but as you can see that how chelsea was able to make so many attempts in the first leg. That makes bookies are favoring chelsea.

[Barcode_]

I think it will be extremely difficult for Chelsea to progress further in the Uefa Champions League when they play against Borussia Dortmund today. The performance of Chelsea are horrible with the current manager in charge, I guess the home fans of Chelsea might witness another defeat of their team against Borussia Dortmund at the final whistle.

It's time for second leg of Round of Last 16. Today's games:

Benfica v Club Brugge
Chelsea v Borussia Dortmund

Benfica and Borussia Dortmund won first games.

What are your predictions?

My prediction is quite simple, namely Benfica is definitely superior. because in the first leg Benfica could beat Club Brugge who hosted the Jan Breydel stadium. and in this second leg Benfica hosted. then of course Benfica's chances of winning this match are higher. and I will also choose Chelsea. but I do this because I'm a Chelsea fan from the start. and I also predict that in this match Chelsea will give a surprise as the host. because even in the first leg, Chelsea managed to make 8 shots that were right at the Dortmund goal. Meanwhile, Dortmund only had two shots that were right at Chelsea's goal. If Graham potter can improve the finishing of every attack that is built by Chelsea's front line then I think more than two goals in this match will be created by Chelsea. Let's see.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Real Madrid will definitely win Liverpool, Liverpool might have a super weekend winning Manchester united but that doesn't guarantee their victory over Real Madrid. Liverpool should be careful with their playing tactics so that they don't conceive much goals up to that of the first leg.

Are you assuring us that Real Madrid will the game? I may that you are judging from their last meeting and that not suppose to be. I will hardly give victory to none.this is football and anything am happen, it may not be miracle to me if Liverpool won the match because the have the material to win, despite that may not qualify for next around.

For their playing tactics, I don't think anything wrong with that because Liverpool are not known for defense game no matter how they are conceding goals or scoring goals they will still be on attacking tactics.

Real Madrid is UCL favourite and they are used to the league. To my understanding, I see that this club has a strategy that they use to turn their games around into a victorious one in this league because if you look at their performance, it shows that they are always desperate to win UCL. From my own view is like this team is built only for UCL which remains the highest league after the world cup.

Yes, Real Madrid frequently surprises people when they play in the Champions League. This is due to their excellent performances in champion league, despite any  struggles the club may be facing. However, I believe that part of the reason for this may be the experience club they are and also having still have some experience key players.

Chelsea poor run of form this season has actually made so many people to write off and also forget the quality and depth of the squad. Borussia Dortmund of a truth played really well in the first leg but let us not forget that the result would have been very different if Chelsea had maximized their clear chances. Tonight's match at Stamford Bridge is gonna be Chelsea's most important match of the season and they are gonna approach it with all seriousness. The new signings of the season are also gonna prove to the club management that they are worth the money that was spent to get their services. So without taking anything away from this brilliant Borussia Dortmund side, we should expect a Chelsea win tonight.

I checked the odds in my country for next champions league matches:
Chelsea 1.55, X Draw 3.42, Borussia Dortmund 3.78
Our betting company in Türkiye sees its as guaranteed Chelsea win although I think that Dortmund is pretty steady and strong and can resist in this match. Draw odd which is 3.42 is pretty beneficial in my opinion.
For Benfica match its pretty obvious. Benfica has better/stronger squad. I am sure Brugge players are gonna be pretty much demotivated in next match. I would say win for Benfica BUT Brugge scoring at least 1 goal to compensate situation. So sad for them to play this match after 2-0 loss.

Chelsea will win Dortmund in this night meeting. We all know the fact that they are playing in England. But that does not guarantee that the struggling Chelsea is going to give a good fight to Dortmund and win the match.
Remember Dortmund has not lost in their matches recently. So they are addicted to winning.
It's very difficult for Chelsea to win that match. I think a bet in favour of Dortmund will give more money and it's not a risky match.

Many says that chelsea might win 1-1 and force a penalty shootout.

The fact that dortmund much in better form while chelsea get their winless month broken last week that must be a great factor for dortmund to have an absolute winning but the odds often confusing us . Chelsea had no choice but to fight to win champions league in order to have themselves in next season CL as in domestic league no way they could finish top 4 for a CL guaranteed ticket.

Dortmund's odd is very good to bet but it seems like that chelsea will still superior. I feel worry caused by dortmud was not playing so well in the previous match. Dortmund was winning 1-0 in the previous match but it looked like dortmund was always under pressure by chelsea. that's my impression from the previous match but the next match is very hard to predict.

Many says that chelsea might win 1-1 and force a penalty shootout.

Seriously, i think that if even if the situation will be 1-1 and chelsea will be losing against dortmund.

[masulum]

-snip-

Against Dortmund, Cheslea will play without Thiago Silva who has a knee injury. Several other players Azpilicueta, Kante, Mendy is likely to miss this match because their condition is still doubtful to play. There is no official line up that I can find for Chelsea yet. For predictions, it is possible that Dortmund can maintain their win. Considering that Chelsea lost an important on defense (Silva), there is an opportunity for Dortmund to score additional goals in this match.

Chelsea are still a big club In Europe no matter their current predicaments and they are bigger than Dortmund. The recent matches Dortmund has played I found out that they tend to sit back when they have gotten a goal. Against Hoffenheim and Leipzig they were lucky not to concede a last minute goal. Against Chelsea they shouldn’t sit back but look for a seat to get the first goal of the game and then try to counter. Because once they score first Chelsea will be exposed. But if Chelsea gets the first goal and think it will be a hard game for Dortmund

For this game I see higher chance that Dortmund advances then Chelsea. I have it 60% Dortmund 40% Chelsea. Chelsea is not having a good season and knowing the result from first leg I'm sure Dortmund will capitalize from counters and score.

The odd for Dortmund is good as they have less star players and will have to play at Stamford Bridge. They also are a smaller name than Chelsea in Champions League but if we exclude those traditional things, Dortmund have better form than Chelsea.

Since a return of European football after World Cup 2022, Dortmund have excellent form that is contrasting to Chelsea. Chelsea only found a light at the end of tunnel with a win over Leeds United days ago in Premier League. However I think it is not enough to change their general sentiment and form so they will hardly to beat Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea scored only 2 goals in their last few matches and it's impossible for them to beat Dortmund more than 2 goals.

I don't bet but if I bet, my choice would be Dortmund. They are enough ability to beat Chelsea and move on to quarter final round.

[Zlantann]

I think it will be extremely difficult for Chelsea to progress further in the Uefa Champions League when they play against Borussia Dortmund today. The performance of Chelsea are horrible with the current manager in charge, I guess the home fans of Chelsea might witness another defeat of their team against Borussia Dortmund at the final whistle.

Nobody is expecting Chelsea to win the match against Burussia Dortmund because they even struggled to win their last match against a team that is struggling to escape relegation. Leeds United would have gotten atleast a draw because the game was highly competitive. Chelsea's opponent in today's match have not lost a match in eleven games and they are second in the Bundesliga. In fact the last time they lost a game is in November last year. Chelsea's fans have endured a very tormenting season and it will be a great relief if they get a win today in Stanford Bridge. Maybe Graham "Harry" Potter might perform those miracles he did when he was first appointed as Chelsea's coach.

The performance of Chelsea are horrible with the current manager in charge, I guess the home fans of Chelsea might witness another defeat of their team against Borussia Dortmund at the final whistle.

But the big question for me right now is, the bookies or based on the odds currently available really project Chelsea to win. In fact, in other options, such as a draw no bet, it also seems to indicate that Chelsea will win, so I started to hesitate to bet on Dortmund.

Because usually, bookies have something we don't know about, even if we or I as lay people at least still predict that Dortmund will not lose in this match. So yes, if I go ahead to bet on Dortmund then I will get high odds on this match.

[Pandu Geddon]

For this game I see higher chance that Dortmund advances then Chelsea. I have it 60% Dortmund 40% Chelsea. Chelsea is not having a good season and knowing the result from first leg I'm sure Dortmund will capitalize from counters and score.

Even though Dortmund are the favorites to qualify, I hope Chelsea can give their best in this match. Their performance in the EPL has been terrible, and it's made the response from fans not very good. the second leg against Dortmund they have to do their best. It certainly wouldn't be easy, but they didn't miss their chance. trying to catch up and forcing Dortmund to go to the penalty kick round, it looks like it will make the game more exciting.
