UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

For PSG's match against Dortmund, both teams had problems with their front lines. I mean, the center forward who scores the goal. PSG cannot rely on Goncalo Ramos yet, he still needs a lot of time to reach his level. As for Assensio, it seems he is still injured and will miss this match. So, there was no choice but for Enrique to give Randal and Muani a chance.
While Dortmund's Edin Terzic also had problems with some of their center forwards. Sabastien Haller cannot be relied on, so far he has not been able to score a single goal. Likewise with their young strikers, neither of them can be relied on.
Well, because this match will be held at the Parc des Princess, and the bookies favor PSG, there's no harm in choosing to bet on Paris Saint-Germain with odds @1.76. I'm pretty sure PSG will win this match.

Barcelona versus Royal Antwerp, we can already guess and predict that these two teams have quite a clear gap. On paper, Barcelona will win this match. But for betting on Barcelona, ​​again it's not ideal. In this match, the most ideal option IMO is betting on the -2 handicap option for Barcelona with odds @1.83. with the scenario, Barcelona must score more than 2 goals.
for the Milan vs Newcastle match, I posted it in the previous post. for Porto, I didn't try to research and analyze it. but in theory, Porto should be able to overthrow Shaktar Donetsk.

It’s difficult to say something for sure about PSG now, in Ligue 1 they look very unconfident, they have poor performance in defense and we can say that the attack also relies on Mbappe, so I would say that Dortmund will most likely score in this match, but how It’s hard for me to say what the outcome will be.

Barcelona, after a confident victory over Betis, should also defeat Antwerp, but I do not rule out that the opponent may go on the defensive from the very beginning of the match and try to play for a draw, so I would not rush with a -2 handicap, after all, Barcelona is the kind of team that can play without a lot of goals, counting on a good defense, but this is more often the case in La Liga.

In the beginning I thought that AC Milan could be the favorite in this group, but now I changed my mind after that loss against Inter Milan. It was the first real test I think and AC Milan didn't pass it. But all the other teams in their group are no monsters either, they all have got problems and they are all nervous to play their first game as everyone of them doesn't want to start into the group stage with a loss of course. Both games AC Milan vs. Newcastle and PSG vs. Dortmund will give us a lot of insight into how this group may play out.

I believe, Milan defeat in Serie A by Inter will not have a bad impact on Milan performance in the Champions League. Because after all, basically the teams in group F are all experiencing a decline in performance but I think, Milan is still better even than PSG. Because after all, last season when PSG still had Messi and Neymar but in reality PSG was only runner uup under Benfica. So yes, even though in group F it looks like they are big teams but in fact, they are experiencing situations and conditions that are not so good at this moment. Therefore, I personally believe that no one is really a favorite in this group F, because I think the teams in this group F have the same chance.

That is what makes the group F so interesting. Last year we would have said that Dortmund has no chance at all against that former PSG squad and Newcastle in top shape, but since all 4 of them are now having their own set of issues, I think everything is possible. PSG has one ace up their sleeves and I think during the group stage that ace is called Mbappe. He can really make a difference against those clubs in group F whereas I am convinced that Mbappe would not be enough in a knockout game against Manchester City or Real Madrid.

This is Newcastle's first experience after several years of being absent from the Champions League and their opponent is Milan 
I can't imagine what Newcastle will do away from home, I'm not sure Newcastle can win but a draw might be a good result

I don't think Newcastle should be underestimated by AC Milan even though Newcastle are newcomers to the Champions League this season, because Newcastle could produce results that surprise everyone here. Even though Newcastle's performance in the EPL has not been good recently, AC Milan itself must remain wary of its opponents even though they are newcomers to the Champions League. So I think their match will be quite exciting to watch today.

Underestimating the strength of the opponent is the biggest mistake a team can make. Milan must perform optimally even though Newcastle has recently appeared less consistent in the Premier League. Newcastle come to the San Siro not to accept defeat, they will direct all their strength to steal points from Milan.

The atmosphere of the Champions League, which is different from the domestic league, will increase the enthusiasm of the Newcastle players, especially since this is the first time they have appeared in the Champions League after being acquired by new owners. Milan, who have just been humiliated by Inter Milan in Serie A, must be able to get up and show their true strength, they must not make any mistakes if they don't want to be humiliated again by the newcomers in the Champions League.

[armanda90]

Current line up have been confirmed and excited to see reunion with Sandro Tonali, most emotional he has fight with teams make his name more popular and a lot of contribution for AC Milan in last several years before selling him last summer window transfer. I can't feel hos his emotion playing in front of Milan fans but he has ending happiness when joining Newcastle United without ask by our self for selling to the other team.
Last match in domestic league against Brentford Sandro Tonali not get in starting eleven and looks he save for crucial and important match against AC Milan in Champion League. I want to see how emotional for Sandro Tonali against his teams was make his name more popular and will celebration or respect with Milan's fans without celebration yet.

In this match, AC Milan must win. because group F is a tough group for Milan. Not to underestimate Newcastle, but only Newcastle can be AC Milan opportunity. If Milan can't beat them, I think there is a 70% chance that Milan will be out in the group phase. As I shared yesterday, Newcastle's opponents are key for AC Milan. Newcastle comes to the San Siro as a team that will prove that it is not just a lucky can play in the UCL. The mentality of the Milan players who are currently down, could be maximized by Newcastle to beat Milan.

Milan Vs Newcastle United
Milan vs Newcastle Group F Round 1 match will be interesting, both the teams are strong enough, and we will see an exciting game between the two teams. In particular, we are the strongest team in Group F of the Champions League, and both teams will put in a fantastic performance to win today. This match is at Milan's home ground, so Milan are likely to win today's match, but Newcastle will also attack brilliantly and must play well to win the match. The few teams in Group F are all strong, so it is difficult to say which team will perform well in the group stage and survive in the Champions League. But today's match is an interesting match between two teams, both teams are strong enough and today's match may be a draw. However, I support Milan in today's match, they have the best chance to win this match, so I hope they can win today's match.

I support AC Milan to win the match against Newcastle United because apart from Milan playing at home, Milan also has a lot of experience in the Champions League and has collected 7 Champions League trophies in contrast to Newcastle United who have just returned to the Champions League after being absent for 20 years. Playing in the Champions League doesn't just rely on the player factor but also the club's experience factor which also has an influence, like last season where Milan's performance was not very good in the Italian league but in the Champions League Milan was able to advance to the semifinals even though in the end they were defeated by Inter Milan.

Yes the odds are quite balanced at the moment, where the teams in Group F are not performing consistently in their respective domestic leagues. Talking about Milan, I was a little doubtful after seeing the defeat they received from Inter, even though they were superior due to historical factors, but of course this was not enough. Newcastle, who have returned after a long absence from the UCL competition, will be very ambitious to go further this season. I think the chance of a draw is quite big for the meeting between the two teams, because if you look at the depth of the squad it is also balanced.

The Milan squad is in a state of crisis of confidence, the only definite advantage is playing in front of their own supporters. Even though Newcastle has a worse record than AC Milan in the domestic league, Pioli must be aware of the playing speed of EPL teams quite well.

Finally, i saw tonally reunite again with its former club even though tonalli was on newcastle's side at this moment. It surprises me that to see how eddie howe has been putting gordon and isaak as starting line up.
It seems like that eddie howe has been keeping them for this match. The tempo from early matches was not so fast as both of clubs is still doing back pass. Leaso was just trying to open a chance by giving his shot that is straight to the newcastle's goal keeper.
The tempo from this match is slowly increasing at this moment. I hope that newcastle will be able to be equal to the acmilan. This is also the match between EPL and serie a.
It's bad to miss almiron in this match caused by he was a great right winger for newcastle.

[iBaba]

In the domestic league, Newcastle is not good, which doesn't mean they are not good in the Champions League and vice versa, because the atmosphere in the Champions League is of course very different, sometimes teams that we think are weak can become strong when facing big teams, especially as Newcastle has no burden at all.

Exactly, I'm more of the opinion that this match may end up draw or with a very close win. Maybe one (1) goal difference. But it's closed to certainty that Milan may take the lead.

Milan in their last game with their city rivals Inter lost 1-5 with low morale. Ben Nasser won't be able to play as a midfield in the game due to his injury which also poses another disadvantage to the team. Although they performed greatly well in the last season of Champions League by reaching up to the semi finals including their their history in Champions League is beyond that of Newcastle. Newcastle was able to win over Brentford in their last game which could give them the ginger to push better in this game. However, Newcastle needs to bring in much more energy to win.

[Litzki1990]

~snip~

The 19th match will be a tough fight between PSG and Dortmund. Other teams will be playing against relatively strong and relatively weak opponents so the results of other matches are predictable but the result of the match between PSG and Dortmund is difficult to predict.  
Considering the current performances, PSG and Dortmund are two equally strong teams, so their game will be much more exciting. If PSG had Messi Neymar then maybe we would have put PSG ahead in this match but currently PSG don't have these two stars and their best player in Dortmund has left for Real Madrid that's why I put these two teams on equal footing and expect a tough competition between these two teams.

Newcastle United are quite unlucky to be placed in Group F as I felt this group was one of the most toughest group to contest for the top 2 spots in the table. Newcastle United seems to have lost their great form last season as they are conceding goals more easily this season, I think AC Milan should be able to take advantage on the weak defense of Newcastle United and secure a victory today.

I thought they would have taken advantage of the wealth of the owners to buy a lot of new players who had a high level but that didn't happen. I think it's this problem that makes them unable to compete with other big EPL teams. They are not as good as last season for the start of this season. It looks like the game against Milan is the first UCL since 10 years ago. With the current conditions, I also guess if Milan are more favourites to win. They will also play at San Siro. Maybe Milan can win 2-0.

Wasn't Milan and Inter struggle all through in the Seria A last season, but made it out in the Champions League until they dropped out in the semi final for Milan and Inter stay throughout till the final and the Napoli that was toping the standing was dropped in the quarterfinal and yet they finished their domestic league as first, isn't that fantastic. It was towards in the end they boucle up to finish among the first four in their domestic league. What am I saying, having a bad time in domestic league doesn't mean they will have bad days in the Champions League, they can suprise everyone in the end.

It's doesn't matter, been owned by oil rich niggas just to waste and sign players doesn't guarantee anything, did Manchester City actually did that last time to succeeded in winning the UCL? Even PSG and Chelsea that has wasted a lot were rubbish in the group stage and quarter final and the real under hype teams made it till the end.

So I think their match will be quite exciting to watch today.

Assuming this was last season when Newcastle was in good form, AC would have found this match much difficult. Honestly this match this evening is very interesting. As expected AC Milan has dominated the match from the start and have made so many attempts to score, but Pope the goalkeeper of Newcastle has vowed not to conceive any goal in the first half.
The pressure is much on Newcastle but it's likely Newcastle us going to survive this first half because they are gradually calming the pressure

[AakZaki]

If I'm not mistaken Højlund has only played once from the first half and after several of his shots didn't turn into goals Ten Hag felt the need to replace him, at his age he might still develop better if he can get a good atmosphere at the club, so expect him to immediately become a striker who was sharp at Manchester United whereas when he was not like that at Atlanta, this is something that I think is a bit excessive, he was indeed bought at a high price but that is the club's fault for valuing the player too much.
In the first match against Bayern Munich, I don't think Højlund will make a big contribution to his club, I actually predict he won't be the main player and Ten Haag will put Rashford as the main striker, but whoever Ten Haag play, United will always find it difficult to score goals because their midfielders are also quite weak, especially the defense because Varane doesn't play, nor does Luke Shaw.
This is not an easy match for Manchester United, my prediction is that they will lose, only how many goals will go into their net will be the question.

With the circumstances of the last game I am not even very sure Man United can get points in this UCL. Their opponents are much better statistically than Brighton. Even coupled with the team's poor condition. Relying on Højlund has not been effective. He hasn't fully performed at his best. I think Man United's best choice is to defend deeply and rely on quick counterattacks. But let's see, I just think badly because the result of Man United's last game was very bad.

Newcastle can loss it in just one moment of distraction. AC Milan have a good record in the champions league of winning their first games, so Newcastle have to stay calm because they are in a tough group an need all the advantage that they can get. It is not easy to play in Italy and have a draw against one of the most experienced teams in the competition at their home. Callum Wilson will come in the second half, maybe Almiron and Lewis Hall, they may be the players to help Newcastle win their first game.

Newcastle surely know that they are not the favourites in this match and that is why they have remained calm. The AC Milan team has more quality and experience. But it seems that Newcastle is better in positioning. The presence of Rafa Leo and Chukwueze has made Newcastle to be more calm.
I am also optimistic that Almiron and the likes of Wilson with fresh energy can make the difference for Newcastle. But be it as it may, a draw is a good result for Newcastle in this match tonight.

[Sakanwa]

Its first half between Milan and Newcastle,and the scoreline is still 0-0 draw,which will see so many person's being surprised how Newcastle has held Milan down to a nil nil draw. So many persons predicted that Milan will be able to win Newcastle,but the highest I can see Milan get here is a draw, else, Newcastle Will win them 1-0 and as we all know how Newcastle's defence is,that it is very solid,and for any team to break that defence,they must work extra hard to be able break it and win them.
I will be happy if Newcastle can get their first win in the competition by winning Milan that everybody is expecting to win.There are good players there who can make the difference tonight,and giving them a winning goal.I'm supporting Newcastle.

First half goals or not, AC Milan are favorites in this match and if they stay patient and keep their cool and play their best then they will surely win this match. AC Milan are in one of the toughest groups so they have no room for mistakes, if they make a mistake in a match they won't have time to atone for it later. AC Milan must win this match, if AC Milan cannot collect full points in this match then they should not lose points. If they drop points against Newcastle then the next matches will be very difficult for them. In the second half we may see several changes for AC Milan. If the starting eleven players are not able to do well then the manager will definitely try to win this match with the bench players.

[bitzizzix]

It looks like the AC Milan vs Newcastle match, the player most highlighted is Nick Pope. He really played very well in defending his goal, and AC Milan fired 7 shots towards Newcastle's goal and several shots were blocked by Nick Pope.
AC Milan should have scored a goal because Newcastle's very good goalkeeper made it difficult for AC Milan to score. And in the second half I think AC Milan could have scored a goal, because I think their attack was very good. And they just need a way or strategy to score goals which is guarded by Nick Pope.

And the first half score between AC Milan and Newcastle was still 0-0
BSC Young Boys vs RB Leipzig 1-1

Newcastle is not in their worst form either considering what have played out this far in the first half of this game. Newcastle seem to be affected by the fact that it's their first time after a long while they last featured in a champions league game. But undoubtedly Newcastle do have a draw down in their form of which AC Milan can capitalize on to secure a victory in this game.

New castle still have a chance at it as they are yet to concede a goal in the first half of the game, if only they could keep their opponent away from their defense line it's very possible to not concede a goal and probably draw the match because I'm not really seeing a victory for Newcastle in this game going by their style of play in this match and having their opponent dominating.

Ac Milan still have a good chance to secure a victory in this game they only need a break through the defense of their opponent this can be made possible through a very quick and smart counter attack on their opponent alongside a good convertion. Initially I was hoping Newcastle will do better because the are at ho regardless of the fact that the are not in their best of forms.

[GiftedMAN]

This is Newcastle's first experience after several years of being absent from the Champions League and their opponent is Milan

I don't think Newcastle should be underestimated by AC Milan even though Newcastle are newcomers to the Champions League this season, because Newcastle could produce results that surprise everyone here. Even though Newcastle's performance in the EPL has not been good recently, AC Milan itself must remain wary of its opponents even though they are newcomers to the Champions League.

The pressure is much on Newcastle but it's likely Newcastle us going to survive this first half because they are gradually calming the pressure

These has been my thoughts even before the match started, Newcastle Would have been a better opponent had it been this game was last season when they were in their best form they would have even gotten a go already but watching this game right now it's just going to be a narrow escape for Newcastle until AC Milan scores. In the first half so far it's been 50:50 in possession but AC Milan has made good 6 goal attempt but are yet to convert any to a goal while Newcastle is yet to get a goal attempt until the fist half whistle was blown. The first half ended 0:0 all thanks to the Newcastle keeper for doing a very good job hoping he could do more in the second half of the game.
