UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[W Jr.]

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.

Graham Potter's Chelsea scorecard is really bad. Borussia Dortmund recently competed for the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. After their successful league matches, I am sure they will win against Chelsea that went bad. For Graham Potter, this exam will be a very difficult one. A more difficult match will be waiting for the team that will go to the next round.

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.
-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.

And it was reported that Dortmund coach Edin Terzic also had difficulty compiling formations with the absence of 7 core players, Ryerson was suspended from playing. Meanwhile, Duranville, Adeyemi, Moukoko, Kamara, Malen and Morey had to be spectators due to injuries.
and I think it's a draw situation of the two teams, because both have some injured players for both teams. It's just that Chelsea's performance is somewhat poor, especially in the EPL, in contrast to Dortmund, who are currently in second place in the Bundesliga standings and have always won in the last 5 matches. So I think Chelsea is difficult to win, and considering Dortmund are very tough opponents.

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.

Real Madrid's mentality and performance in the Champions League will not even be affected by the results of their matches in La Liga or the Copa Del Rey. Real Madrid has been unsatisfactory in its last few matches, be it in La Liga or the Copa, but I certainly agree that Real Madrid is the most promising team in the Champions League. I'm not worried about Liverpool's comeback plans, it just won't happen with Real Madrid.

Today one of the English teams will be highly favored to win the match. Of course it's Chelsea, I think they will win against Dortmund today without any problems. Even though Chelsea lost the first leg, based on their analysis, they have a higher probability of winning at home than Dortmund.

[bering]

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?

For the Benfica vs Club Brugge match, I have no doubt favored Benfica. Benfica has been outstanding all season in the Portuguese league. so I'm sure this fight will ensure Benfica qualify for the next round.

Benfica certainly will be qualified to quarter final and it because impossible for Club Brugge to win with 3 goals margin at Benfica home ground so this match will belongs to Benfica and about squad conditions Benfica probably will lost Alexander Bah because of injured but it won't be a big deal for Benfica because other player such as Gilberto can be replace his position on the squad and if talking about betting purposes Benfica win seems good picked for this match although the odds for this option was quite low @1.36 but i think this is safe bets

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.

We are very well aware that this battle is not easy for the home team, there are many doubts about what Graham Potter's team is displaying. Chelsea's performance is so very bad, even though it has been strengthened by several newcomers. what makes me doubt is Chelsea's front line, they don't have a sharp striker who is able to find the net.

As for Kai Havertz, I don't know why Potter still makes him the main start even though he doesn't contribute anything in terms of scoring. but, if we refer to the predicted line up that Potter applied in this match. it seems, Potter will try again his luck with the 3-4-3 formation pattern. Felix, Kai, Mudryk, are paired up front. maybe, with this pattern Chelsea can optimize the game.

To be honest, I have a feeling that this match will be won by Chelsea. However, I'm not sure about the final score. because, I have another assessment of Dortmund in this match. but anyway, I hope this match will present a fierce battle from the two teams. especially Chelsea, they have to give their best version of the game even though it looks like they will have difficulty toppling Dortmund.

So I think Chelsea is difficult to win, and considering Dortmund are very tough opponents.

Anyway, Dortmund in a good trend after the world cup finished they recorded wins streak, it can be predicted that they are actually must be favorites in this match, meanwhile Chelsea in the EPL is really in an inconsistent trend. But this match will be held at Chelsea home and previously although lost they dominated that match vs Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park, also now Dortmund have lost an important player which previously could score because injury, so I think Chelsea have a better chance at the moment if compared with Dortmund although the situation is same because there are also injured players in Chelsea.

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

Judging Chelsea base on their recent performances nobody will actually stake on Chelsea winning against Dortmund but if I should judge Chelsea base on their statistics toward their last meeting with Dortmund, I may say Chelsea can win the match because they played well with a lot good attacks.i may even say Dortmund won by lucky, so i am expecting some thing good from the Chelsea today by use their home advantage.but let just see how the game will be and see who to qualify to next round.

A more difficult match will be waiting for the team that will go to the next round.

If it was when Chelsea was scoring, it wouldn't be a serious issue for Chelsea to get 2 goals. At a time it became worse for Chelsea to the extent that no striker was scoring anymore. It was even James from defence that was getting occasional goals for Chelsea. This is why I am not always pleased when Graham Potter is seen as the total and ultimate cause of Chelsea woes.
Chelsea cannot be ruled out, but my bet is for Dortmund because of their current great form.

[dezoel]

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.

Now situation is very interesting with Liverpool thrash Manchester Untied and fans are now feeling things can change in this match as well, and I am also feeling this can happen, but now we will have this match will be ended in draw or win for the Liverpool, but score could be like 1 - 0 or 2 - 0 which will be enough for the Real Madrid to go through into next round because their winning margin in first leg was big and surely guaranteed for their spot into last eight.

Even we all know Champions League is game of predictable results and surprises but still things are in Real Madrid favor because they have already done enough for their qualification in first leg match their performance is also not good at home with they are facing some injuries issues and also having problems with their attackers which are not efficient like in last season which is giving them poor results in La Liga and Copa del Roy matches.

There is possiblity of Chelsea winning the match of course to qualify they have to score  atleast two goals against Dormund today, however lack of competent center forward or a striker had been Chelsea major problem this season, Raheem Sterling was there highest goal scorer this season has been inconsistent in front of goal, Abumeyang wasn't registered for UCL, Kai Havertz had been shadow of former self, Mudryk hasn't justify his huge sign on fee since arrival to Stanford bridge, Dormund is on a winning streak and in-form having won 11 consecutive matches in all competitions which mean Chelsea is facing a difficult challenge tonight.

[execijutiere]

There are two matches today. The first one will be benfica-club brugge. Benfica won the first match 2-0. Since they will take the field with the comfort of this, they will be the side that will skip the round. Since I don't think they will be defeated in this match, the round seems easy for them.
Chelsea-Dortmund match is more important than the other match. The first match dortmund won 1-0 at home but chelsea didn't play badly. This time chelsea will host dortmund at home. I think Chelsea will win, but I don't know if it will be enough to advance.

Winning is not assured for Chelsea even though they won their last game in the premier league. Chelsea's performance has been unpredictable all season, so it is difficult to assess them from the performance in their last game. The home advantage may be to their benefit but if their coach gets the team selection and tactics still wrong, then the home advantage will count for Nothing. It is a very important game for Chelsea so I am sure they will want to play their very best to ensure that they still remain in this competition.

[Slow death]

today we have 2 good games

Chelsea FC - Borussia Dortmund

chelsea is playing at home and I believe that chelsea's coach will use the same formation as in his last game, chelsea has many injured players such as: N'Golo Kante , Armando Broja , Edouard Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva, and In addition to these problems, there is also the problem of the coach insisting on playing with Kai Havertz, honestly I cannot understand why this Chelsea coach prefers Kai Havertz and leaves Aubameyang on the bench, he ended up not registering Aubameyang in the Champions League , with this coach chelsea won't get far at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if chelsea lose in this game

SL Benfica - Club Brugge

benfica comes to this game very motivated, they won their last game in the Portuguese league and they don't have important players with injuries, but on the other side their opponent Club Brugge comes to this game with a defeat in the local league in which they suffered 3 goals, and they're going to play at Benfica's house so I see Benfica winning in this game, for that reason I put Benfica in my parlay

Chelsea-Dortmund match is more important than the other match. The first match dortmund won 1-0 at home but chelsea didn't play badly. This time chelsea will host dortmund at home. I think Chelsea will win, but I don't know if it will be enough to advance.

Chelsea FC = @1.78

Borussia Dortmund = @4.40

looking at chelsea, i think this odd for chelsea is a big exaggeration, dortmund is not a weak team, and they have a good chance of beating chelsea who are a directionless team even with good players in the team, i predict it will be a game with few goals on the part of chelsea and on the side of dortmund the same thing

There are two matches today. The first one will be benfica-club brugge. Benfica won the first match 2-0. Since they will take the field with the comfort of this, they will be the side that will skip the round. Since I don't think they will be defeated in this match, the round seems easy for them.
Chelsea-Dortmund match is more important than the other match. The first match dortmund won 1-0 at home but chelsea didn't play badly. This time chelsea will host dortmund at home. I think Chelsea will win, but I don't know if it will be enough to advance.

Benfica looks like they will secure a quarter-final ticket today, in my opinion. But Chelsea may be otherwise.
Benfica and Chelsea are both playing and will decide their fate at home, but Benfica is very likely to qualify after winning the first leg 2-0. They'll keep this aggregate safe, of course.

As for Chelsea, there are big doubts about them. Chelsea won the match against Leeds in the Premier League, the team's performance was good but they struggled to get satisfactory results in many matches. Chelsea were expected to win 2-0 and qualify for the quarter-finals, but we know Dortmund also have a chance.

Benfica really outplayed club brugge in the first leg and am expecting the same result to happen especially that this time around they will have their fans come in numbers to see to it that they get the job done to make it to the next round . Tbh going down by 2 goals isn't much of a big margin but I see this game having the Portuguese side scoring 3 goals or so just to ensure that they keep a clean sheet and have its strikers challenge for the golden boot.

Chelsea-Dortmund match is more important than the other match. The first match dortmund won 1-0 at home but chelsea didn't play badly. This time chelsea will host dortmund at home. I think Chelsea will win, but I don't know if it will be enough to advance.

Chelsea are still trying to find themselves the won't pose much of a threat against Dortmund who are in a much better form, best bet here should be under 2.5 goals.

[RaltcoinsB]

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?

For the Benfica vs Club Brugge match, I have no doubt favored Benfica. Benfica has been outstanding all season in the Portuguese league. so I'm sure this fight will ensure Benfica qualify for the next round.

Benfica certainly will be qualified to quarter final and it because impossible for Club Brugge to win with 3 goals margin at Benfica home ground so this match will belongs to Benfica and about squad conditions Benfica probably will lost Alexander Bah because of injured but it won't be a big deal for Benfica because other player such as Gilberto can be replace his position on the squad and if talking about betting purposes Benfica win seems good picked for this match although the odds for this option was quite low @1.36 but i think this is safe bets

This rate is too low for me.  Not worth the risk for 1.36 odds.  Benfica can play a little more comfortably due to the advantageous score in the first game.  In this case, Club Brugge can win the match, but I'm sure they will not get the score to pass the round.  It is also a success that Club Brugge has come this far.

[beerlover]

Dortmund only had a 1 goal lead when they faced Chelsea in their own stadium so I don't think that Chelsea is out of the Champions League or at least not yet, dortmund is not as phenomenal as imagined that's why they only able to score 1 goal and it happened at their home, so Chelsea's chances are still there it's just that doubts about them have always existed and will remain until they show good development and Potter still can't bring his team to the level they should be if they can only score one goal then there will be extra time and if it stays with the score like that it will be a Penalties shootouts and penalty shootouts will run differently from matches at normal times because both teams return to their starting point so anyone can qualify for the next round.

I think they may not be out just yet, but they are certainly not doing that well neither, we are talking about a team that has been struggling all season versus a team that is fighting against Bayern to get a title.

The difference there is huge, and yes of course we could still see Chelsea end up with a win, there is no guarantee that they won't, but if I am betting my own money on this game then I would be betting on Dortmund to win, that is a lot more likely. Look at the odds and you could see that people see Dortmund as a bigger favorite. I believe that we just need to accept the fact that Chelsea is just not that good this year, and will need a bit of time to recover.

[3meek]

I would like Chelsea to play well against Borussia Dortmund... In the Champions League Chelsea were often the dark horse... I remember their final against Man City when everyone said Man City would win, but Chelsea won the Cup... I hope that in this game Borussia will not be able to score goals and Chelsea on the contrary will make a miracle and win...

[Silence Scream]

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.

I think Chelsea can beat Dortmund at home.  No matter how erratic and unstable they are, maybe Chelsea can win with the home advantage.  I actually don't trust Graham Potter much.  I believe Borussia Dortmund will pass the round, but having the match against Chelsea may change things.  The score in the first game was 1-0 and a one-goal disadvantage can be easily changed.

The game will start in a few hours and we will see if Chelsea and Potter's team will surprise us or not but from what we can see Chelsea is not in a good situation and the recent games we saw from this team were a complete disappointment while they also lost many points in Preimier league too and Dortmund is the other hand is on a good shape so I think if Chelsea surprises us and beat Dortmund today Potter and his team can have a better atmosphere for rest of the league.
