All analysis and predictions about the Napoli vs Barcelona match are better saved for now. We will wait to see who is closest to the reality of the results that will occur in leg 1.

Today, two matches will take place at the same time. FC Kobenhavn vs Manchester City and RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid. Discussing these two matches is more appropriate. Manchester City, who is the defending champion, is predicted to easily secure a place in the next round.
Tonight, Manchester City will not disappoint because the hosts, FC Kobenhavn, did not perform very well during the group phase.

Real Madrid, who are dominant because of their stable performance in the domestic league, could possibly get 3 points when facing RB Leipzig.
As the favorite team in away matches, Real Madrid must be able to score goals at the Red Bull Arena.

About the match between Leipzig vs Real Madrid i am surprised to see the odds for them because the bookmakers provide high odds for these teams

Leipzig @2.90
Real Madrid @2.27

Although Real Madrid is the favourite but the difference odds between them is not too far and Leipzig seems is not in the good shape because they still unable to showing their consistency in Bundesliga and 1 win from 6 matches is proven Leipzig performance was decline so they have to bounce back immediatelly because their current opponent is Real Madrid which is they are as the team with the most trophy in this competition with 14 titles

Actually Leipzig is not weak opponent for Real Madrid because last season on group stages Leipzig can able to gets the winning result and Leipzig manager Marco Rose has made statement although they know Real Madrid is tough opponent for Leipzig but he will do his best for today match and Real Madrid actually has facing unfavourable conditions because some of their players is still got injured and the latest is Bellingham confirmed will be absense today but usually if Bellingham absense Ancelotti will played Brahim Diaz to replace Bellingham position so lets see it later whether Real Madrid can able to overcomes Leipzig just like people prediction or Leipzig will surprised us and beat Real Madrid so i am looking forward to see the outcomes of this match

I don't like this but i must saying the truth if real madrid will be favored to win the game. We shall have learned from the result in the previous seasons how leipzig was always struggling to beat real madrid. Leipzig has no good striker there and club keeps to perform mediocre in the bundesliga.
How can a club like leipzig beat real madrid. It's beyond my imagination. The odds for real madrid was good enough and i definitely go for that. Even though the risk to lost is very high but im still feeling so confidence with real mardrid right now.
Madrid may be missing bellingham but the club will not be missing the most important players owned by the club and these are rodrygo and vini. That's enough for madrid to beat leipzig by having some players like rodrygo or vini in the squad. The fact, madrid was always having good record against leipzig.
Im not doubting the performance from real madrid when it must be facing leipzig soon. Im sure madrid will able to give the best to save the club from the lose in the first leg. Leipzig must be fully careful against madrid coz this is king of comeback.
Madrid is ready to change the situation when it was not getting satisfied result before the end of game. Everything is going very smooth. Leipzig is having more advantage but it never had good result agianst real madrid.

[Chilwell]

why is real madrid's super star and temporary top score for real madrid not included in the list of players sent down by jude bellingham. is it due to card accumulation or injury so it is not included in the list of players.

Maybe there is a reason why one of the players was not included in the list because the Real Madrid coach really understands how to field players to keep the team's stamina strong. Because Real Madrid does not have as many strikers or reserve wings as in previous seasons, the Real Madrid coach must be able to devise a unique strategy when competing in the Champions League, which has enormous prestige. Because if the opponent is Leipzig, you shouldn't have any doubts about Real Madrid.

Even without Bellingham, I think Madrid will still be a team that is too strong for Leipzig. No matter what possible opportunities Leipzig has, Madrid will still be the favorites.
Madrid will be one of the favorite teams for the final match. Maybe it's too soon to talk about the final, but Madrid will have a chance to qualify for the next round. especially if Leipzig is unable to beat Madrid in the first leg.

Yes, Leipzig are not performing well in the Bundesliga, although they often score goals... Real, on the contrary, shows great results in La Liga and is now in first place in the standings... I think that Leipzig can not win today, but I do not exclude that this match can be a draw...

If assumed we are talking about another club and Leipzig I will say probably win will be difficult for them, but it's real Madrid, with the current performance of real Madrid now even with the absent of Jude Bellingham I still have hope of winning for Madrid, Real Madrid are very good in playing champions league with that I don't have any shocking for them, they are top in Laliga table and they have good record in away matches than home matches like wise for Leipzig too having good record for home game than away game and today Leipzig are the one hosting real Madrid, this match will be tough because both teams are very good.

Copenhagen - M.City game is tonight. M.City will win this game with a different score tonight. Copenhagen is the easy team for them.

RB Leipzig - Real Madrid, Real Madrid will win this game. It could be an exciting and enjoyable game, I will watch this game tonight.

Yes, of course many people see that the quality of Manchester City and Real Madrid players is far above the average of their opponents and these two teams are in extraordinary performance. Surely it will be very easy for them to win the match this time. But remember, don't underestimate your opponent too much, even if your opponent doesn't look strong, anything can happen in football. Even though RB Leipzig and Copenhagen are playing at their own headquarters, it certainly increases the enthusiasm or stamina of each player.

[DanWalker]

My thoughts on the Copenhagen vs Manchester City game
Copenhagen are a disciplined and organised team who surprised many by getting out of the Champions League group. They can hold the ball up well and are dangerous on the counter-attack. But it won't be easy for them to play against City. Manchester City are in good shape. The Citizens have de Bruyne back, Haaland scored at the weekend. City will control the ball, create chances and have the advantage. The probability of Copenhagen's success is low, given the strength of their opponent. I think Guardiola wants to solve all questions in ths match. Therefore, my prediction is a win for the English, they are favourites. I assume that in this game City will win, and there will be at least three goals scored.

Ever since they released the round 16 draw I knew Manchester city will definitely win the match, there's nothing to argue about, although I'm not too familiar with Copenhagen skill but I've watched matches like this so I'm definitely predicting the match in favour of Manchester city. Kevin is back and that's enough reason why city boys will defeat Copenhagen.
The return of Kevin has impacted the team and truly the combination of Haaland, Kevin will be so good and interesting to watch

I'm just going to say it. There is no chance Manchester City will lose this match against Copenhagen. You know Manchester City is it far better team and they also have a far better squad. Which is eventually going to be the reason for them to win. If somehow Copenhagen is even able to break the clean sheet of Manchester City it is going to surprise me. I want Manchester City to win this match without even conceding a single goal. Yes, Copenhagen might be a decent team. But they definitely do not have any chance against Manchester City.

[QueenVera]

Another hard match to predict but since i do know how good the defensive line of serie a club and i think that interimlan will be destroying atletico madrid soon. Atletico madrid may be playing safely without having intention to take the big risk to play offensively against atletico madrid.
It's hard to guess on which strategy that is going to be used by the club. Im seeing that if intermilan is superior in this game compared to the atletico madrid but i think that these clubs will be playing passively to make sure they can get the golden chance to win the competition. In my understand that if atletico madrid is far worst compared to the intermilan which has been entering into the final of UCL last season. Intermilan has learned a lot from the result of last season. The club is starting to climbing up again slowly but surely.

Im only wondering what squad that is gonna be used by intermilan. I hope that calhanogl will always become the main starter for intermilan. Having him like intermilan has someone who can pass the ball from the back to the upfront.
Calhanoglu was very important player owned by the club. I hope he will always become the main starter.

The UCL has resumed and we’re having some crazy fixtures where we’ve got the 2 teams playing same pattern football. And one fixture like that is the Inter Milan vs Athletico Madrid fixture. These 2 teams play similar kind of football and predicting who’ll go past this stage is quite one heavy task to do. In my opinion, I think Inter Milan have got the upper hands as finalists last season and based on current form, they seem better than Athletico Madrid.

 The Spanish side would be coming to defend at the San Siro stadium hoping to go goalless here and go and decide it at their ground. As this is the best option for them because when they chose to play offensively then I feel they might get some trouble from the fast players of Inter Milan and the qualifying team might be known even before the final whistle.

I'm just going to say it. There is no chance Manchester City will lose this match against Copenhagen. You know Manchester City is it far better team and they also have a far better squad. Which is eventually going to be the reason for them to win. If somehow Copenhagen is even able to break the clean sheet of Manchester City it is going to surprise me. I want Manchester City to win this match without even conceding a single goal. Yes, Copenhagen might be a decent team. But they definitely do not have any chance against Manchester City.

I agree with you because Manchester City performance has greatly improved than there performance during the middle of this season and right now they don't joke with there matches, so I'm very confident they will win Copenhagen because Manchester City is far better than Copenhagen even if we should examine them through there players, Manchester City is still the best because they have more experience and more quality players, one of the things I like about Manchester City is that all there players are very good that they no what to do at every moment.

Although I cannot dispute the fact that Copenhagen is also very good in performance because they have made a quite improvement on this season by trying all there possible best to be consistent in wining but however that doesn't mean they are good enough for us to compare there performance with Manchester City because is very certain that Manchester City will beat them with a lot of goals before there second half, so I don't feel for Manchester City because is obvious they will win the match.

Real Madrid are in great form at the moment. After a long time they managed to occupy the top position of the table in La Liga. And the descent is ahead of Girona by points difference. In La Liga now, Madrid is very much pressure free. So now their main target is to perform well in Champions League.

Madrid's opponents, Leipzig, are not in good form. Leipzig's performance in the Bundesliga has been erratic. In the last 5 matches the team won only one match and lost three matches. This is why Real Madrid is considered as the favorite in this match.

In this season Real Madrid is doing good job from the start of this season and their performance in Champions League is impressive with now in La Liga they are clearly ahead of all opponents specially after beating Girona now things are clearly favourable for them while Barcelona is still facing troubles into their defense with in home games they already concede too many goals which are surely terrible for them and their future games as well.

RB Leipzig is also not good which is good advantage for the Real Madrid but still things could be not easy for them while they will visit Germany tonight for their first leg game of the knock-out round, but I am feeling they will be won with good score like 1–3 is my favourite right now.

I think the quality of RB Leipzig and Real Madrid is quite different this season so in my opinion it is almost impossible for RB Leipzig to beat Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is quite the favorite to get to the last 8 of the UCL this season and the percentage of Real Madrid being able to win the UCL this season is very wide open after seeing the good performance shown by Real Madrid so far.

[Richbased]

Even without Bellingham, I think Madrid will still be a team that is too strong for Leipzig. No matter what possible opportunities Leipzig has, Madrid will still be the favorites.
Madrid will be one of the favorite teams for the final match. Maybe it's too soon to talk about the final, but Madrid will have a chance to qualify for the next round. especially if Leipzig is unable to beat Madrid in the first leg.

Yes, Leipzig are not performing well in the Bundesliga, although they often score goals... Real, on the contrary, shows great results in La Liga and is now in first place in the standings... I think that Leipzig can not win today, but I do not exclude that this match can be a draw...

I don't think Real Madrid will find it easy in this game against RB Leipzig because Jude Bellingham is injured and wouldn't be featured in today's match and we all know the impact he has created in both the la Liga and the champions league so definitely it would be somehow difficult for Real Madrid tonight without the midfielder and the both teams head to head also shows that they've won each other on their two meetings as Real Madrid first won Leipzig by 2:0 on 14th of September 2022, while Leipzig retaliated and won Real Madrid by 3:2 on 25th October 2022 though the current performance of the both clubs shows that Real Madrid is far stronger than RB Leipzig but this is champions league as surprises are expected and moreover, they are playing in the home ground of RB Leipzig so it's gonna be a crucial and tough match but regardless of what the outcome may be, let the better team win.

[rahmad2nd]

Copenhagen vs Man City.
Cepenhagen will play at home and they have a chance not to lose, at least maybe a draw. There is a bad record of Man City when facing Denmark clubs. Man City have never won at the opponent's home, when against Team Denmark. While their Man City are very superior, they qualify with the title of never losing. Their performance in the EPL is also very good, they have not lost in the last 10 Matches. With these circumstances I would bet 0.5 on City.

Referring to the Man City line-up, I got two predictions that Pep Guardiola will likely implement. Pep can apply a 4-1-4-1 pattern, or a 4-3-2-1 pattern. the principle remains the same, only the system and strategy are different. in this match, Haaland and De Bruyne will still be included in the starting eleven that will be played in the match against Cepenhagen.
Honestly, it seems like I forgot or didn't know that City has never won a match against Danish teams. It seems, I have to review City's statistics against teams from the Danish League. In this match, the one who has to be careful is the home team, Cepenhagen is the opposing team. because City has a fairly high chance of overthrowing Cepenhagen.

Referring to the Cepenhagen betting exchange with odds @11.00, City with @1.27. It seems clear, doesn't it, that there is a significant gap between these two teams? My estimate is that at least City will score 2 goals in this match. so, the question is whether Cepenhagen can score a goal. If yes, the Over 2.75 option is the ideal option with odds of @1.80.

Real Madrid is one of the main contenders to win the Champions League, so they will also be favorites in this game. Real are playing well both away and at home, and they will not postpone the resolution of this confrontation until the second match, but will try to resolve everything today. Real will win and score a few goals, that's how I expect the outcome of this match.

And tomorrow PSG will play with Real Sociedad and here the guests will obviously play to maintain a draw, their task will be not to concede a single goal, but against PSG, especially when their striker is Mbape, this will not be easy to do.

[Minor Miner]

It would not be fair to think that Manchester City will easily win against Copenhagen. I saw the performance of Copenhagen players in the group stage matches. The team lost only two matches. Lost 1-0 away match against Manchester United. However, they won the home match against Manchester United 4-3. Despite losing the home match 2–1 against Bayern Munich, Copenhagen held the away match to a goalless draw. Their performances against strong teams like United and Munich were good enough. So I cannot consider this group as weak. Manchester City are favorites in today's match. But it would be a mistake to think that City can easily win.

Copenhagen is in not good form to support their chances against Man. City. because, in the domestic league, they experienced 2 consecutive defeats. This is a bad result, because they will meet one of the best EPL team in UCL. The defeat experienced by Copenhagen can certainly be maximized by Man City. I think City can win this matche at least with 2 goals.

I wouldn't say that Copenhagen is too strong. And right now the team is not in a good rhythm either. Still, I'd say there's no way to underestimate this team. Manchester City will be making a big mistake if they think Copenhagen are weak. Because the Copenhagen players have proved their ability in the Champions League group stage matches. Despite the strong opposition, Copenhagen's players remain confident. And this team is capable of playing well against strong opponents. City are favorites in this match too I know. And they are more likely to win. But if Manchester City players make any mistake in the match then it will be challenging for them to win this match.

[Volgastallion]

I already said this in the europa league thread, but im not really into this matches of the round of 16 in this year, and that is because the matchmaking is shit, for example today, COpenaghe against Manchester City doesnt stand a chance.

Leipzig can be a good amtch but only when leipzig is in his home, in the overall result they dont stand any chance against Real Madrid.

[hahay]

Copenhagen - M.City game is tonight. M.City will win this game with a different score tonight. Copenhagen is the easy team for them.

RB Leipzig - Real Madrid, Real Madrid will win this game. It could be an exciting and enjoyable game, I will watch this game tonight.

Yes, of course many people see that the quality of Manchester City and Real Madrid players is far above the average of their opponents and these two teams are in extraordinary performance. Surely it will be very easy for them to win the match this time. But remember, don't underestimate your opponent too much, even if your opponent doesn't look strong, anything can happen in football. Even though RB Leipzig and Copenhagen are playing at their own headquarters, it certainly increases the enthusiasm or stamina of each player.

About Manchester City, I personally also fully believe Manchester City will win and not only that, because I also believe Manchester City will win with a good score of at least 2 goals with cleansheet or maybe win higher score and better result. Because yes, basically Manchester City's main squad at this moment is available to play and therefore, I personally will not doubt Manchester City's chance to win with a good score in this match.

But about Real Madrid, if I am not wrong about the information available, at least I get a info that Bellingham is injured at this moment. Therefore, I think Bellingham cannot be played in this match and with that, then I will doubt Real Madrid to be able to win in this match. But Indeed, of course Real Madrid still have a chance to win but yes, because Bellingham seems not available to be played then yes, I think it will be difficult for Real Madrid to beat Leipzig.

Therefore, I predict that about this match between Leipzig v Real Madrid is likely to lack goals because yes, basically Leipzig also has a defense that can be relied on in situations like this. Therefore, this match is likely to be tough, making it difficult to score goals but yes, of course Real Madrid still has a chance to win even with a low score.

[el kaka22]

If Jude is out, then he is out and they can't really do anything about it. Dude is getting injured quite a lot there, well famously all players who goes to Real for the first time ends up getting injured here and there, because they do build a lot of physique in that club and some just can't handle the workload and get injured. Look at Rodrygo and Vinicious as well and on their first years, they got injured a lot as well.

But, if you want to retire with a physique like Ronaldo, then you need to keep working. All in all, I think it is going to be a tough thing to do but you are going to end up with a good result eventually. This is why Real will get the win, no matter if Jude is playing or not, that will not matter at all.

[doomloop]

Copenhagen - M.City game is tonight. M.City will win this game with a different score tonight. Copenhagen is the easy team for them.

RB Leipzig - Real Madrid, Real Madrid will win this game. It could be an exciting and enjoyable game, I will watch this game tonight.

Even though RB Leipzig and Copenhagen are playing at their own headquarters, it certainly increases the enthusiasm or stamina of each player.

On papers, currently performance in last few games clearly indicating we will have Real Madrid and Manchester City as winners in these games but still things have never been easy for every team because we can expect resistance from both home teams which will play in front of their fans and try to give their best specially RB Leipzig which is facing some problems in last few matches and now having 5th spot in Bundesliga which is not good position for them.

RB Leipzig if facing problems in their defense which can create problems because Real Madrid is having lethal attack so in this game we can expect over2.5 as well with in second game Copenhagen is surely going to have defensive mod because they will try to not allow Manchester City attack for having any serious trouble for them.

Not too long ago, Leipzig beat Madrid in a home match, but then lost big in the return game... I don't think Leipzig can repeat that result now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they draw today... I expect a lot of corners from this game, I think it will be more than 9,5...

Leipzig will play with the advantage of spectators in Germany. Madrid is a strong team but not invincible. The Girona match was great for them, but when it comes to UCL matches, every team is playing great. Leipzig are not favourites, but they might have a chance in the return leg if they surprise and win the first leg. Real Madrid recently had an accident in Germany. I hope the players have gotten over the shock.
