UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[execijutiere]

The most important match of yesterday was definitely Rangers vs PSV. We know that both teams have good results in this arena and I expected the match to be competitive. It was risky for me to bet on both sides because I couldn't predict exactly what would happen in the match. Although PSV had more possession in the match, both teams played well. PSV had the advantage in such a match because they got a draw away from home. I think they will advance at home.

While I believe Pep is a coaching genius, honestly, I have my reservations about City's performance this season. I mean, the big teams don't have a clear advantage, and it feels like City is currently in murky waters! And if I'm being honest, with the current wave of player injuries, it looks like Pep's in a bit of a pickle. At the start of the season? Really? They're already facing hurdles! Although, I did catch wind that Guardiola went under the knife for some minor issue and will be back post-international break. Perhaps he’s trying to match the physical fitness of his players? Now that's commitment! But seriously, will the second-tier players step up? Hmm, it's anyone's guess

Last night, the first legs of the UEFA Champions League play-off round started. The most unpredictable match of the night was the Rangers v PSV match. Rangers drew with PSV 2-2. I guess PSV gonna make it's way into UEFA Champions Leagues group stages.

Copenhagen, on the other hand, defeated their weak opponent 1-0 away and got a comfortable win. I guess Copenhagen will go to easyly UEFA Champions Leagues group stages.

Yes, Copenhagen made a good away win and will surely win the next home game. But from yesterday's games the most interesting game was Rangers and PSV. Both teams played very well and I don't know who can win next time.

PSV was definitely the more dominating team in that match against Rangers. They had the most amount of possession. But I definitely think that they could do better while defending. Credit goes to Rangers for being able to take the chances well that they had. I think in the second leg PSV will try to make sure that they win and go forward in the competition.

Copenhagen was actually blessed with its own goal. After that, they definitely did concentrate a lot on defending the lead that they got luckily. They are also going to carry forward the lead in the second leg. But I don’t think it is going to be a substantial lead. They cannot sit on it and keep defending.

I also think PSV have a better chance to win in the return home game. But Rangers are not an easy opponent. Not so long ago they were Europa League champions. But in the last game they showed a good result with a draw against PSV. If they can score an away goal, it will be a problem for PSV.

PSV played more attacking but they left some space for the Rangers players to use to counterattack. PSV played with excellent ball possession. unfortunately they lost some focus and failed to win in that match. luckily they responded well to every goal Rangers made. and forced the fight to end in a draw. not a bad result. but PSV had to pay attention to some mistakes in the match the two met in the second leg.

When I look at the matches to be played tonight, our representative Galatasaray will be looking for a win away to Molde. It will be a difficult match for Galatasaray and we can say that at least with a draw here, they will be guaranteed to pass the round. I think it could be a match where both teams can find goals.
As for the Braga-Panathinaikos match, I think Braga is the heavy favorite and Braga will get a result at home to guarantee a place in the round. Thanks to Bruma, who they transferred from Fenerbahce, we can say that they have reduced their problems in finding goals.
As for Maccabi Haifa-Young Boys,I expect a tough match for both teams. It is hard to predict what can happen in this match, but the home team is one step ahead.

[hahay]

Even though it seems that Galatasaray is quite interested and or favored to win in some of the existing predictions but in reality, at this moment the available odds do not show that Galatasaray is projected to win. Maybe, because this is the first leg and also, Galatasaray will play away. It looks like that also affects Galatasaray not being the favorite to win in this match. After all, Molde isn't really weak at all, so yes, it's only natural that Galatasaray might not be able to win easily in this match, and maybe the end result will be a draw.

It's natural for doubts to come when slowly the club's problems begin to emerge one by one. and at the same time, also other clubs are showing improvement.
Pep has a solid squad depth, and also he has a solid foundation, I think it will be a weapon that will ultimately allow them to survive in the midst of problems, such as a storm of injuries for example.
So far I see them still doing well, and that's a positive signal.
But if we're talking about the Champions League, it's obviously not going to be easy to be here consistently.

It's too early to talk about City's problems. The season has just started and the players have not yet got into the rhythm of the game until the end. In addition, the squad has changed a bit, Gündogan left Man City, but the rest of the key players remained. I will wait for City's first game in the Champions League and after that I will start to draw conclusions about the club's playing condition.

Snip.

Pep Guardiola was already in history as a great player he was and one of the best coaches in the history of football in terms of quantity, quality, and tactical richness In terms of his contribution to the game he is now only ahead quantitatively speaking ahead Sirsir Alex Ferguson who has 49 trophies to his name pep Guardiola impact in football can not be overstated. His tactical brilliance and relentless pursuit of success have not only led to numerous honors for his team but have also inspired other coaches around the continent.

Manchester City under Pep Guardiola has just made history with the treble last season, the achievement Guardiola made for Manchester City has never been achieved by any other coach who has handled Manchester City. The UCL trophy is very special for Manchester City because they have been eyeing the most prestigious trophy in this European competition for a long time, Guardiola was able to end Manchester City wait with his prowess in concocting the Manchester City squad.

The success of Manchester City in the last few seasons in the EPL and winning the UCL trophy has made Pep Guardiola start being compared to Sir Alex Ferguson. These two different generation coaches are equally great, when greatness meets greatness it is difficult to choose one of them. Guardiola still has the opportunity to add to the trophy collection for the club he coaches because he is still active as a manager, while Sir Alex Ferguson has long left the world of football.

Actually Pep Guardiola did not think that he could provide training that could give City a treble winner last season while Pep Guardiola only wanted the champions league trophy but consistently tried to contribute with new strategies that were able to be accepted and carried out by players properly and precisely which resulted in victory in the champions league final.
Last season cup and the new history that Guardiola managed to get made him confident to apply that strategy this season again to get the second trophy that he will get even though at the start of this season it looked bad but for me City and Pep Guardiola can get through all of this.

Even though it seems that Galatasaray is quite interested and or favored to win in some of the existing predictions but in reality, at this moment the available odds do not show that Galatasaray is projected to win. Maybe, because this is the first leg and also, Galatasaray will play away. It looks like that also affects Galatasaray not being the favorite to win in this match. After all, Molde isn't really weak at all, so yes, it's only natural that Galatasaray might not be able to win easily in this match, and maybe the end result will be a draw.

Indeed for the odds of this match, Galatasaray is not too favored to win. Currently the odds available for Galatasaray are @2.48, while the home team are at @2.70. Maybe the bookies see that the both of teams have just met, and so far Molde is also playing at home not too bad, the home team has not lost in several home games in all competitions. So it seems like the both teams are on the same level at the moment. To bet I prefer btts yes because Molde is likely to be able scored at home, while Galatasaray is also likely can scored goals too because Icardi performance is getting better, before he was able to score 2 goals in the domestic league against Trabzonspor.

This has never happened before in Guardiola's coaching career at Manchester City. However, these are unforeseeable occurrences that cannot be avoided. He is a tactician who is widely known for his ability to deal with and confront problems like this.  I also have worries about how this club will perform this season and whether they will be able to win at least a double trophy this season, as opposed to the treble they earned last season. If Pep Guardiola can still come out of this situation strong and win all of the games before those injured players return, I will have more faith in his ability to repeat what he did last season with this team. We can only speculate, until we see how their next match against Sheffield United will be which is suppose to be an easy win for them.

Galatasaray team is my favorite in today's match. However, Molde is not a weak team. And more importantly today's match is Molde's home match. All teams are strong in home matches. And so even though Galatasaray is a strong team, it will not be easy for Galatasaray to win against Molde today.

Martin's goal gave Molde the lead in just 8 minutes. And Molde is playing very attacking strategy. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have been playing defensively since the start of the match, yet they have conceded a goal. Monde managed to make 6 shots in 25 minutes. On the other hand, Galatasaray has not been able to make a single shot yet. I bet for Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray does not seem to be able to win if they perform like this.

I agree with you.

There are three more great play-off match tonight before starting the UEFA Champions League group stage. I will prefer to watch the Galatasaray-Molde match. But I feel that the Braga-Panathinaikos match will also be very enjoyable.

Galatasaray's starting XI against Molde: Muslera, Boey, Abdülkerim, Nelsson, Angelino, Berkan, Oliveira, Yunus, Mertens, Kerem, Icardi. NK Molde's starting XI against Galatasaray: Karlstrom, Tiedemann, Hagelskjaer, Haugen, Linnes (Knudtzon), Eikrem, Mannsverk, Grodem, Lovik, Kitolano, Brynhildsen.

Looks like you won't lose money. There is no doubt that the team at Galatasaray is strong. Molde played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. And Galatasaray didn't attack too much. But after 20 minutes this team started attacking. Sergio Oliiveira's goal in the 25th minute equalized the match for Galatasaray and Icardi's goal in the 29th minute gave Galatasaray a 2-1 lead. In the 30th minute, Galatasaray had only 2 shots, two on target and Galatasaray managed to score from both. This team is experienced enough. Molde should have kept the defense tight and then attacked. However, Molde still played attacking tactics. And so there is a possibility of seeing many more goals in this match. We saw three goals in just 30 minutes.

[Doell]

It was a very interesting match, from the first minute Molde continued to press Galatasaray defense, until they finally succeeded to scored first. Although there were actually many golden opportunities for them, but only Ellingsen header goal could nestle into Galatasaray. Molde actually played quite well, but they made a mistake and Galatasaray was able to reverse the situation in the end, at the moment the score of that match is 1-2 Galatasaray leading. Very Nice game.

[Pulsar77]

Somehow Galatasaray have managed to make a comeback by finding 2 goals in 2 shots. Molde have many more attempts than them. Galatasaray need to tighten their defense more against their opponent. There is normally a huge quality gap between these teams. We should be able to see this in the match as well. Galatasaray had defensive problems in the previous draws as well and the situation is still going on. Maybe they are able to find a way to make up for it against smaller teams.

But the group stage can end really badly for Galatasaray if they don't solve their main issues in defense.

So far it's good and we have seen three goals already but with the way the tempo of the game is going I think by second half we are definitely going to see more goals to come. Although like you said molde had the upper by starting better but it's much expected since there are playing from home and I think if they keep it up they can definitely equalise the game and make it an all tie before the half ends.

Galatasaray now lead 3-1. The team managed to score 3 goals from 4 shots. I really like Galatasaray's match strategy today. From the beginning of the match we see Molde attacking. This group is not weak. And so Galatasaray is playing very carefully from the beginning of the match. They were able to identify Molde's weak points. For the first 15/20 minutes of the match we didn't see much attack from Galatasaray's players. But after that the group started attacking. And they are successful now. Galatasaray scored the first goal in 25 minutes, the second in 29 minutes and the third in 43 minutes. Despite conceding three goals, Molde is playing very attacking. They could not keep their defense strong Molde players made 10 shots in the first half while Galatasaray made only 4 shots.

The first half was very exciting. I bet Galatasaray to win. However, seeing their performance at the start of the match, I doubted whether they would win. Because Molde's players started well. And Amatra went ahead with a goal in 8 minutes. Galatasaray, on the other hand, were busy keeping their defense tight. This group did not attack much in the beginning. Then Galatasaray suddenly started to attack. Attacking Icardi, Akgun and Oliveira are playing well today. Galatasaray managed to take a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half. Yunus Akgun scored a goal in the 44th minute but the goal was disallowed. Still nothing to worry about. Galatasaray are able to dominate the match. molde can't score any more goals despite attacking a lot.


Braga vs Panathinaikos match scoreless in the first half. My favorite was Braga. Performance of both the teams is quite stable. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win today. The match is more likely to be a draw.

3 goals scored in the first half of the Molde-Galatasaray match. Both teams can score easy goals. Galatasaray started the match badly, recovered quickly and scored 2 goals. Molde started the match fast but slowed down a bit after the goals. There might be goals in the second half because the teams' midfields are very easy to penetrate.

Galatasaray's new signing Tete might come on in the second half. I'm curious to see how Tete performs. The first half ended 2-1 but the score could change in the second half. It's a good match and I hope the second half will continue like this.
