UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[X-ray]

IMO , the odds given by the bookies are not entirely fair. It seems odd that the home team, Real Madrid, isn't more heavily favored given that the Madrid vs Man City match is taking place at the prestigious Bernabeu stadium. Real Madrid is a formidable opponent and a draw seems like a more plausible outcome. Personally, I believe that Man City has a higher chance of winning in the second leg.

It's quite fair enough at stake. I guess that bookies have various reasons to consider whether the club must be favored or not. As you can see that if manchester city is always being very consistent in the domestic league and various competitions. It may become the main consideration for bookies to favoring manchester city in the upcoming match against real madrid. I consider how bookies were seeing haaland as the biggest threat for real madrid.

Real madrid was collecting 15 goals from three players while haaland itself alone was able making 12 goals in UCL.

That proves if manchester city has capability to make more goals in UCL even against real madrid.

I don't think Real Madrid are the favorites to win the first leg against Manchester City. It seems to doubt Real Madrid's low chances because they are an experienced team and also playing at home. However, it is possible that Real Madrid will lose at home if Manchester City are really able to put pressure on Benzema cs throughout the match.

Milan is also not in the favorite over Inter even though Milan played as the home team in the first leg. Inter and Manchester City are both favorites at the odds, but I hope it's not a trap.

It depends on the bookmakers but in most gambling sites they are the underdog and it is understandable since man city are better in terms of performance but real madrid in the champions league are the real deal so them winning can happen easily tomorrow game will be exciting for sure.

Not sure where he gets such low odds ...

I found the odds to win UCL

Manchester City
1.62

Real Madrid
4.25

Inter Milan
6.75

AC Milan
8.50

And for the first leg , real madrid to win @3.25 draw @3,2 and man city @2.2 and
AC Milan @3.05 Draw @2.90 Inter to win @2.5

It's the hardest season to pick the champions league winner , i wish it's ac milan though.

However, it is possible that Real Madrid will lose at home if Manchester City are really able to put pressure on Benzema cs throughout the match.

We see a little difference between the two, for example, Manchester City in other competitions is still quite consistent while Real Madrid in La Liga is still in trouble, so this seems to doubt Real Madrid rather than Manchester City which is currently superior, playing at the Santiago Bernabeu is an advantage Real Madrid it's just that they like to lose often at home but this is the Champions League which is super hot of course Real Madrid will not allow that in the first leg because if you rely on the second leg it will be more difficult later.

Milan is also not in the favorite over Inter even though Milan played as the home team in the first leg. Inter and Manchester City are both favorites at the odds, but I hope it's not a trap.

It seems that I am confident in Inter Milan, I think they are getting better and in Serie A, now they are only welcoming the Champions League semifinals with a friend's own club, but this is actually still difficult to determine, but what is certain is that their advantages must be balanced.

It seems realistic that I might choose between Manchester City and Inter Milan as a bet, I don't think it's a trap but a possibility that anything can happen.

It's the hardest season to pick the champions league winner , i wish it's ac milan though.

Indeed it was one of the hardest season and especially for Ac Milan since they seem the underdog between the four teams left right now!
Even if Milan could pass somehow Inter, I doubt they could face properly City and less likely Real Madrid.
The fact that it is very hard to know the winner of each game, makes it more interesting

The Premier League is still the Premier League and La Liga is still La Liga, there is nothing that we can compare even though the two teams have different performances in their respective leagues. Maybe anyone will see Man City as a superior team when compared to Madrid. While the Champions League definitely has a different aura of competition, just look at how many big teams have excelled in their respective leagues but when it comes to the UCL in the end they have to go home first. PSG, Bayern, and Napoli are examples of how difficult it is to become a truly worthy club. Madrid is doubtful and not a few people are finally optimistic about Man City. This is a big bet and what is far more pressured is not Madrid but Man City who come to the opponent's cage to start Leg 1.

The atmosphere of the Champions League is very much different from that of the domestic league, the teams that compete in the Champions League always display a different performance from what they show in the domestic league. Real Madrid vs Manchester City, this match is more exciting and challenging than the other matches Milan vs Inter. It is predicted that the winner of this match will win the title even though Milan or Inter, who are the opponents in the final, can make a surprise.

Competition in the more difficult Champions League requires Real Madrid and Manchester City to maintain their best performance. Their journey almost reached the final, leaving only three more games to celebrate their success as Champions League champions this season. I will miss the bet on this match, even though Manchester City is superior to Real Madrid, Real Madrid's strength and experience cannot be underestimated, especially since Real Madrid will start the match in front of their fans.

@hyudien Real Madrid now only has to focus on winning the champions league but City are going to be stretched as they’ll have to focus on winning the premier league and the FA Cup too hence I feel that they’ll be distracted and Madrid can use it to their advantage. Furthermore Real Madrid is totally a different team when it comes to the champions league hence judging by their history in this competition I’ll pick Real Madrid to defeat Manchester City and progress to the finals.

I don't care about sportsbook with Real Madrid not favorite team against Manchester City, learned from last year when Real Madrid success eliminating Manchester City in semifinal stage and they not favorite team. Its not matter about Real Madrid and Manchester City how many goals scoring until semifinal stage, but look with Real Madrid opponent from 16th until quarter final round always faced with bigger team than Manchester City opponent with weakness or not favorite team.

If Real Madrid with full composition and Karim  Benzema in starting eleven no doubt for choosing Real Madrid is the winner, however have good record when Madrid playing in Bernabeu stadium against Manchester City.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Manchester city will face a reunion with Real Madrid in a Champions League semi final battle, for the second season in a row. All I see here is a revenge on Real Madrid but I feel the tie will be too emotional if Manchester players are thinking about a revenge. Manchester city are in red hot form, I think they are probably the best team in the world this season but Guardiola knows as well as anyone that when they run out at the Bernabeu, they will be ranged against this Real Madrid side. And their aim to win three major trophies this season will be screwed.

This is the repeat match from last season that both teams has been met in the semifinal and now they will fight again in the same stage and their composition of squad also not so different but at that time Real Madrid has Casemiro who very strong as holding midfielder but i have to say Manchester City squad is more better compared to last year because now they have Haaland and this player is really on fire and already broke some records on premier league because of his goals achievement

Real Madrid since last season always be underrated while met Manchester City but they can proven to many people that Real Madrid has strong mentally and can be the champion last season but i think today will be different because Manchester City squad is more danger than last season especially Madrid will losing Modric who important element for them and i am sure this will have bad impact for Madrid performance today and although this is home match for Madrid but i personally predict Manchester City will going to win the match

[Sebas.tian]

Real Madrid are very ready to play this semi-final with all their strength and energy to achieve many goals from Manchester city but it will be difficult for Manchester city to allow them to eliminate them from this match, because Manchester city are more organized than Real Madrid which will be one of the tactics they will use to defeat Real Madrid. I don't think, Real Madrid can use home advantage to eliminate Manchester city because their performance in this season is very low for them to withstand their opponent. Manchester city will defeat Real Madrid 4-2 to qualify for champions league final, because Erling Haaland will do everything possible to score goals in this match.

First I thought this was a mistake made by the bookmakers because seeing Real Madrid not as the favourites in the first match even though they were the hosts was quite surprising to me, because even though Real Madrid is not as impressive as Manchester City, the home factor will give Real Madrid an advantage, and in my opinion this is an opportunity for bettors who are sure that Real Madrid will win this match because I also believe that way.

Man City has Haaland who is the top scorer in the champions league this season but Real Madrid has good experience every time they deals with the Champions League, and the first match will be an opportunity for Real Madrid to be able to score lots of goals so the second match will not be a match with a higher level of difficulty for them because they are leading in aggregate goals, and I bet on Real Madrid and we will see hopefully this is like a bonus from the bookmakers because it gives big odds on Madrid.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Manchester City are going to face one of the finest in UCL history but I this encounter is going to be a different one for the Spanish side, City are going to take advantage of the act that Real Madrid are losing a very vital player that can make a very big impact on the field of play, talking about the man they call Vinicius Jr. I don't think he'd make it on this encounter.
City on the other hand have a very high spirit going into this game with 10 games unbeaten (if I'm not mistaken) and is a booster to the Citizens while Madrid are like a switch, off and on in terms of form.
Pep Guardiola boys will do everything possible to get a win in this game, UCL is their number one priority so I can't see CITY making any mistake on this one, to me is a win for Manchester City.

[RILWAN]

It looks like luka Modric has picked up an injury and he may likely not be featured in the upcoming Cupa dey Rey final as well as the first-leg semi-final against Manchester City is in doubt it is a big blow to Madrid playing without one of the best and most experienced players in an important game like this. On the other hand, they seem to be good news as David Alaba suffered an injury during the second leg champion league tie with Chealse and he is fully fit to play  if all this is equal I think Alaba will play against Manchester city which is a big boost for the team right now.

Real Madrid is a team that is very difficult to predict, right, their performance in the domestic league cannot be a benchmark because sometimes they play beyond the expectations of many people, especially since this is an important match, of course Real Madrid will try hard to play well in this match.

This first leg match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, Real Madrid's home stadium and this is a good moment for them to make Agg distance to look at the second leg later at home to Man City to make it easier for Real Madrid.

the betting exchange favors Man City in this first leg match, even though the match plays sometimes Real Madrid, I plan to bet for Real Madrid in this match if there is a tantalizing possibility.

[ajanwalker]

Champions League Real Madrid-Manchester City match like an early final.
I believe City will pass the round, but I think Real will win tonight's game, benefiting from the field and the audience. Real Madrid defender Mendy will not be able to play tonight due to injury. City's Ake will not be on the field today due to injury. All eyes will be on City's star, Haaland. Haaland will push Real Madrid's defense very hard. It could be very difficult for Real if they put on a great game, like in the Liverpool game with De Bruyne. I think Real win is a little ahead.

Where did you get news about this? Because when I saw the Copa Del Rey final, Luka Modric was played in the 82nd minute, which Luka Modric looked very fit at that time. So for today I also think that Luka Modric is also fit to play in the semifinals of the Champions League against the big team Manchester City. Because if Real Madrid can't play Luka Modric in today's home game, I'm afraid that Real Madrid will find it difficult to win at home today.

City away matches in the Champions League often ended in a draw, Bayern, Leipzig, Dortmund (by the way, all teams from the Bundesliga) and even Copenhagen had a draw in the group stage. At home, they play much more confidently, but I see that Guardiola's main task in away matches is not to lose. Perhaps today we will see something similar, it could be a draw, let's say 1-1. And in the home match, City will try to beat the unstable Real Madrid.

I appreciate what Guardiola said, it is true although it seems a little exaggerated. Real Madrid always becomes a tough opponent in UCL and they have great luck in UCL matches. In some matches, most people think Real Madrid will be eliminated, but they can come back and qualify for the next round. Even in the final round, Real Madrid often wins the match in injury time. It shows us that they have good luck, have a great mentality, and never give up until the end of the match. That's why they are very strong in UCL match.

They failed in La Liga but they succeed in Copa Del Rey. At UCL, they performed quite well. So, it is a big mistake if people underestimate Real Madrid, they are still a favorite team for the title.

I believe that this year if Manchester City takes the lead in those games, they will try everything they can to play it smarter than last season. Real Madrid was lucky, but Manchester City allowed those situations to happen. They would have to be much more possession focused in that situation and keep the ball away from their own goal. The difference this time is that they have a very fast Haaland in front and can strike back anytime, but no matter what happens you have to play it the smart way in the last few minutes of the game.

I often say that City plays more by putting forward tactics, while Madrid tends to rely more on skill. but that doesn't mean City players don't have skills, and vice versa with Real Madrid. for sure, this match is an important match for both teams. in particular, Pep Guardiola's ambition to bring Manchester City to win this competition trophy.

By the way, i agree with you. in this match, I prefer City even though the first leg will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. not only because of Haaland, but more in the City team's game itself. plus, they have a klumplit player i think. but so far, I don't dare to assume too much for the two teams that will meet in the semifinals. But if I had to choose, I would support City. However, football is something that is difficult for us to predict. from my point of view, City is superior to Madrid. well, the question is, which team will be lucky in this match and this is very interesting for us to wait for.

I would support City, too! For two three reasons: the first reason is that Guardiola has been working hard and deserves another title. He is a great coach. The second reason is that the team has been working hard as well and the entire Manchester City cosmos deserves it because, let us be honest here, they have been very unlucky a couple of times when they were the better team but couldn't take it home. The third reason is that I like Haaland so much. A cool guy with such an outstanding skill and hunger for success and since he will never win the World Cup or the European Championship, I hope that he can collect as many Champions League titles as possible and become the world soccer player for a couple of times. A Norwegian playing at that level and then we can't even get to see him at a World Cup because his team didn't qualify. Norway won't ever have a chance in realistic terms.

When Mbappe doesn't win anything but there is a World Cup that year, he could still become the world soccer player because he is French. That is not possible for Haaland. He has to win it all on the club level to have a fair chance.

So for today I also think that Luka Modric is also fit to play in the semifinals of the Champions League against the big team Manchester City. Because if Real Madrid can't play Luka Modric in today's home game, I'm afraid that Real Madrid will find it difficult to win at home today.

Luka Modrid will play when Real Madrid face Manchester City, he only has a problem in terms of fitness and I think he is fit enough for now. Now, the match that we have been waiting for for a long time is in sight which brings together the two best teams in the world. I think these two teams will go down with the perfect squad in the first leg which will take place today.

Apart from that, on the Manchester City side, they will rely on Haaland, where he has appeared quite impressive in the Champions League this season, I think he will be the player who steals the most attention in today match.
