UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[bitcampaign]

Manchester City can of course feel the absence of De Bruyne in the Champions League as well. However it is the truth on one hand that they are still able to stay strong. Things are going well in the English Premier League these days. They are winning their matches one by one and I don't doubt their performance in the Champions League too.

Manchester City squad is full of talented players. Guardiola can find a solution to his absence one way or another here as well.

De Bruyne is one of the most special players in this squad. He has a wonderful relationship with Haaland. I hope we don't see Haaland getting balls less than before without him. For now he is still doing okay at scoring.

De Bruyne was the key to their Treble Winner success last season, but without the presence of De Bruyne in several matches in the League did not seem to affect Manchester City's game in the opening match it seemed that Manchester City were still able to win the match and even Manchester City performed well without De Bruyne in  in the Manchester City lineup in several important matches, Pep Guardiola can still overcome the void in the attacking midfielder left by De Bruyne, several Manchester City players who are usually filled by De Bruyne, can replace De Bruyne's role as the key to Manchester City's attack this season, although  De Bruyne did not play in two Manchester City matches, but he was able to maximize and score points perfectly and well in the last two weeks.

We can see Manchester City's performance in the Premier League without De Bruyne and it is clear that the strength of this team has slightly decreased, whether you realize it or not, now Manchester City seems to have lost its impressive style of play like last season, so far Man City is still getting positive results without presence of De Bruyne but I don't think it will be when they play a stronger side in UCL.
surely losing De Bruyne will have a huge impact on the Man City team which will reduce the strength of this team.

There are 3 games in the Champions League play-off round today. All matches will start at the same time.

Galatasaray is playing Molde at home. They will play a more comfortable match at home as they won 3-2 away. It's very difficult for Molde to win in İstanbul, but Galatasaray should definitely not let go of their defense security. This will be the most important match of Galatasaray this season because millions of Euros they spent will be wasted if they don't participate in the Champions League. They really need the participation prize from there.

In other matches, I see Sporting Braga as the favorite for the tour. Panathinaikos isn't having a very good season. If we consider the advantageous score in the first match, Braga will pass this round.
I can't predict the match between Young Boys and Maccabi Haifa. Young Boys are a little more advantageous because they play at home, but both teams are very close to each other. I hope we watch good matches today.

[swogerino]

There are three great play-off matches tonight before the  start to the UEFA Champions League group stage. These matches are Galatasaray-Molde, Panathinaikos-Braga and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa. In the first legs, Galatasaray beat Molde 3-2, Braga beat Panathinaikos 2-1 and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa drew 0-0. I think Galatasaray, Braga and Young Boys will go to the group stage. If Panathinaikos performs well at home, they can eliminate Braga that there's a very small chance.

I am only sure about Galatasaray passing to the group stages of Champions League tonight while for the other two games for me they are wide open,I would never underestimate Maccabi Haifa as they are the team who beat Juventus last year in group stages of the Champions League.Also Panathinaikos at home has a huge crowd of hot headed supporters which always creates the atmosphere in such important games,they say that fans are the 12 player for a team and if the fans offer the support they offer usually I think Braga will have a very hard time tonight in Athens.Whatever happens,these teams will still play in Europa League group stages as the worse it can happen to them.

Manchester City still dominated the game by maintaining possession of the ball which is the hallmark of the strategy used by Guardiola, but they have not been able to maintain goal productivity. Manchester City have only been able to score 3 goals in the last two matches in the EPL or overall have scored 6 gal in the three official EPL games.

Manchester City is not the only club that has high ball possession with management of Guardiola. It's his most favorite philosophy so that Manchester City is only a newest club that is coached by him and executing that philosophy. Although Manchester City have a very strong attacking system and in their good matches, they can score many goals, it's not too important. The more importance is winning as many matches as possible, not to win as biggest as possible in a few matches.

After midfield creator Kevin De Bruyne suffered an injury, Manchester City seemed to have lost a field general who was very influential in the process of scoring goals for Manchester City. Of course Guardiola still has ideal players who can replace De Bruyne and other important players who have left Manchester City, but their presence is very influential on the sharpness of Manchester City's front line.

De Bruyne is one of best attacking player in the word in last 5 years or even longer. He can convert high ball possession, domination of Manchester City to dangerous key passes, assists or goals. Without him, Manchester City will have less dangerous key passes that will definitely affect their scoring opportunities.

Things are going well in the English Premier League these days. They are winning their matches one by one and I don't doubt their performance in the Champions League too.

De Bruyne is one of the most special players in this squad. He has a wonderful relationship with Haaland. I hope we don't see Haaland getting balls less than before without him. For now he is still doing okay at scoring.

De Bruyne, is one of the players that Pep Guardiola relies on in his squad. unfortunately, he suffered an injury that required him to be absent for quite a long time. like it or not Pep will maximize the available resources, fortunately City have a second line-up player whose quality is not far from the first team. the difference is, these young players still need time to become established players.

Now that De Bruyne has entered the age of 32, gradually De Bruyne's position will be replaced by new players who are fresher and fitter. but the impact of De Bruyne's absence was quite pronounced, City's performance was not so fierce. especially since City has been left behind by Gundohan and Mahrez. there is a difference that City shows, even though they still play with high performance. it's just that, the productivity of goals has decreased.
well, because this competition hasn't started yet, let's just see how City goes game by game in their domestic league. but my guess is, City will get tough competition from other competitors. therefore, City must work extra hard because other teams are also ready to compete in the race for trophies this season. both in the domestic league, and the champions league.

Manchester City has started the new season well after finishing the last season well. This team has won three matches in a row in the English Premier League. Manchester City's defenders, midfielders and strikers are each performing well in their respective positions. Manchester City will be one of the favorites for the Champions League if De Bruyne returns from injury. De Bruyne's absence has had a somewhat negative effect on the game of main striker Erling Haaland. De Bruyne would create the ball brilliantly which Erling Haaland would score. If Manchester City can perform well in the Champions League according to the right plan, then Manchester City will achieve something good in the Champions League this season as well.

surely losing De Bruyne will have a huge impact on the Man City team which will reduce the strength of this team.

Even though playing without De Bruyne, Performance might have decreased a little, but apart from that it also seems that Manchester City is capable of winning consecutive matches to make Manchester City top of the EPL standings, I know that De Bruyne's role is very important in the main Manchester City squad, but It seems that Guardiola knows how to place other players to temporarily replace De Bruyne to make Manchester City's attack power not dull.

Guardiola, of course, always prepares other strategies if a key player in Manchester City is injured, I'm sure he's already thought about that and just look at it, it seems that Manchester City without De Bruyne can still play well and their attack power is still very good and Haaland isn't infertile anymore, even him often scored goals for Manchester City's victory. I'm sure that without De Bruyne, Manchester City can still play well in the UCL later.

There are three great play-off matches tonight before the  start to the UEFA Champions League group stage. These matches are Galatasaray-Molde, Panathinaikos-Braga and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa. In the first legs, Galatasaray beat Molde 3-2, Braga beat Panathinaikos 2-1 and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa drew 0-0. I think Galatasaray, Braga and Young Boys will go to the group stage. If Panathinaikos performs well at home, they can eliminate Braga that there's a very small chance.

Galatasaray gonna play at home. No reason for this club to lose against molde. Molde was not as good as before. The first leg has told us about molde was not even able beating galatasaray. Im all in galatasaray. I hope there will be no luck to come for molde.
Panathinaikose - braga seems very hard to predict. These clubs are equally pretty much the same as young - haifa. I would like to call that if panathinaikos has a slight chance of beating braga. The next game will be gonna happen in panathi's home.

I hope braga cannot perform as good as the first leg. In order for Panathi to be on equal footing with Braga, they must score more than one goal. I hope a miracle will happen for panathinaikos. Im thinking to refrain for betting on young - haifa. It's even harder to determine a club who's gonna be winning the match.

Young Boys vs Maccabi Haifa

In the first leg both teams have already to playing draw with aggregate 0-0 so i will assume they have equal chances to qualified because whether it Young Boys or Maccabi Haifa they only have to win by a narrow score and this match actually is hard to predicted because both teams is in the good shape and Young Boys had 6 times unbeatable in all competitions and Maccabi Haifa only lose once from 9 latest matches

I think the strategy between them is not so different just like first leg match when Young Boys playing with defensive style and Maccabi Haifa will starting to playing attacking since the beginning of match so my prediction this match will ended with slim scores because i am sure they will playing with carefully and for betting options probably under 2.5 goals is good for this match

I'm not sure the strength you are talking about but Manchester City right now are the only team player with 3 straight win matches with the equivalent of 9 points which as a result places them at the top of the standing, in addition, they have only conceded only 1 goal of the 3 matches they have played with a total goal of 6, that is fair if you ask me and to see that Haaland has 3 goals in the three appearances is excellence, still among the top players that are competing to be top scorers because right now, there 4 players with 3 goals score but the coming weeks, we will see changes as Haaland will definitely score another goal against Fulham in their next match.

Kelvin De Bruyne's absence was felt but the team is still doing fine, I'm happy to see that Haaland came second in the UEFA Men's Player of the Year after Lionel Messi and De Bruyne came third, the two players from Manchester City are making the Etihad proud, waiting to see him come back and defend his club and see what he is going to add to Manchester City this season.

Young Boys vs Maccabi Haifa

In the first leg both teams have already to playing draw with aggregate 0-0 so i will assume they have equal chances to qualified because whether it Young Boys or Maccabi Haifa they only have to win by a narrow score and this match actually is hard to predicted because both teams is in the good shape and Young Boys had 6 times unbeatable in all competitions and Maccabi Haifa only lose once from 9 latest matches

This match will be decisive for one of the teams to qualify for the group stage of the champions league this season and I think this time Maccabi Haifa will win. There is no particular reason why I chose Maccabi Haifa to be able to win in this second leg and even this is an away match for them. In the first leg it was clear enough even though it only ended in a goalless draw but Maccabi Haifa was much more determined to win the match and compared to Young Boys they tended to be passive. I think betting under 2.5 goals is quite risky with this high-tension match and even though looking at the first leg without a goal, it's possible that both teams will score a lot of goals, whether it's with a score of 1-2 or even 2-3.

[rojan]

Tomorrow in UEFA Champions League will start the match between Galatasaray vs Molde between these two teams. I can't guess which team will win this match. It depends on the performance of the players of the two teams which team will win this match. But if the players of the two teams in this match  If they can perform well, then we will see a tough fight between the two teams. The fans of both teams are waiting to enjoy this match.

De Bruyne is one of the most special players in this squad. He has a wonderful relationship with Haaland. I hope we don't see Haaland getting balls less than before without him. For now he is still doing okay at scoring.

Of course Pep Guardiola is a coach with a new philosophy and has a broad insight into players. He installed Julian Alvarez in De Bruyne's original position. If you saw him in the first game earlier this season. Although at that time De Bruyne did play but in double pifot with Rodri. But it turned out that his hamstring had not healed properly and he only played 23 minutes. Against Newcastle, Julian Alvarez was back in the same position. Even he was able to make goals.

Pep Guardiola is a great coach with good ability for adaptation and he can upgrade many players by trying to use them at new positions. Dani Alves, Messi in Barcelona, Lalm in Bayern Munich, Walker, Cancelo, Stones and many players in Manchester City got benefit with Pep management.

Julian Alvarez does not have skills for an attacking player, a play maker like De Bruyne and he is more similar to Kun Aguero. Pep still has many players who can replace and cover De Bruyne such as Foden and Silva. He does not need to use Julian at the position of De Bruyne and I believe he knows the Argentinian player can not play well at that position.

[dezoel]

to see the decline in the performance of some of Man City important players will indeed be very worrying and this puts pressure on Guardiola as a coach who must be responsible for improving performance without De Bruyne who is currently injured and I heard rumors that Guardiola is actually eyeing several players from other teams to replace De Bruyne position temporarily but whether that will come true or not we all have to wait and see what will happen.

what is certain is that Guardiola must first focus on Haaland performance because this is an important player who must really pay attention to because Haaland decline in performance has been very visible in several of these matches so Guardiola must focus on this.

This is point recently Manchester City performance is also on decline which is major concern for the coach with their one main player is injured, and they are badly down now coach Pep Guardiola is also out with injury things are looking not positive for them even we have sometime hopefully they will recover and things will be back to normal, but suddenly this decline is having good indicator for the few other teams which are looking for the better results in Champions League.

Haaland's performance is also not as par standard which is also problem with now they are looking for the suitable replacement which helps them for having good work in absence of KDB now we have one round before International break hopefully after this changes will happen in strategy and teams will improve their quality and performance with eye on start of Champions League as well.

But if the players of the two teams in this match  If they can perform well, then we will see a tough fight between the two teams. The fans of both teams are waiting to enjoy this match.

This is the second leg and in the first leg Galatasaray won 2-3 and with that, I don't think the second leg will be as interesting. Because probably, Galatasaray will just defend their aggregate win and if that happens, then there might not be as many goals scored as in the first leg. Therefore, it is possible that the match will end in a goalless draw or perhaps, Galatasaray will still win but by a narrow margin.

[jaberwock]

There are three great play-off matches tonight before the  start to the UEFA Champions League group stage. These matches are Galatasaray-Molde, Panathinaikos-Braga and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa. In the first legs, Galatasaray beat Molde 3-2, Braga beat Panathinaikos 2-1 and Young Boys-Maccabi Haifa drew 0-0. I think Galatasaray, Braga and Young Boys will go to the group stage. If Panathinaikos performs well at home, they can eliminate Braga that there's a very small chance.

Now we are heading for the last matches of these qualifier rounds with all six teams are having equal chance for the going into group stage even home teams are having better advantage, but we never know who could be done surprise for the jump into next round it's never been easy for any team to do this all.

In first leg matches we have interesting results with Galatasaray leading by 3 - 2, and then we have Braga also lead by 2 - 1, and then we have goalless draw between Maccabi Haifa vs Young Boys in Haifa, Israel all matches are going to have high tempo because one goal difference is narrow for the staying at the top but still I am also having feeling as you mention all these teams can go into main round of the Champions League with their better quality and performance.

[snipie]

all these teams can go into main round of the Champions League with their better quality and performance.

I agree especially when you see the first leg result with whether a draw and a single goal difference. In this case, everything could occur.
In my opinion, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Copenhagen, PSV Eindhoven, Antwerp and Braga will pass.
Some matches might be influenced by the location since several less favourite teams will play home.

Manchester City team is expected to do well this time as well. Because Pep Guardiola is an amazing coach, I expect him to do great things by building the Manchester City team again this time.
