UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I assume Real Madrid will not have a tough battle against Leipzig tonight. Leipzig certainly has a home advantage that cannot be underestimated, but the experience and depth of Real Madrid's squad are factors that make the odds not in Leipzig's favor. Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League has been proven, so not many people doubt Real Madrid's ability and capacity this season unless they play against Manchester City.

In other matches, Manchester City is also the favorite over the home team Copenhagen. No different from Real Madrid, Manchester City also has better experience and squad depth to win tonight's match. Manchester City and Real Madrid should be able to ensure victory in the first leg without many problems, but we never know what surprises these two non-favorite teams can cause later.

[CryptoBuds]

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.

Leipzig are not in good form right now. Although the match is a home match, I cannot consider the Leipzig team as favourites. Leipzig have lost two of their last three home matches. So Leipzig are unlikely to perform well against a strong opponent like Madrid.

I would say it will be a fluke if Leipzig win this match. Madrid are in great form right now. We have seen great gameplay from Madrid in the last few La Liga matches. Importantly, Madrid's two attacking players, Vini and Rodrygo, are now in good form. Madrid can beat Leipzig only if Vini and Bellingham perform well.

As we all are predicting that Real Madrid would win against RB Leipzig because of their current position in the Laliga league(topping the table), let's not forget that both teams have won against each other, once in their home games of the Champion League match(Real Madrid has won against RB Leipzig, same as RB Leipzig winning against Real Madrid).

In the same match against the other this season, we can't ascertain the team that wins this time around. Whether what happened in their last season's Champions League match would repeat itself. Hands crossed.

[Alpha Marine]

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.

When I see things like this I usually wonder how you people forget so fast. How have you forgotten how teams like Manchester City were better than knocked out Manchester City in other seasons even though City were in very good form and way better than their opponents? It's the Champions League, we have seen this over and over again.
I know that Manchester City are favorite and they have a much, much higher chance of winning, but saying "there's no chance they lose" is inaccurate. If there was no chance they would have to odd to win on gambling and sports betting sites.
Copenhagen is a good team and they play very well, plus don't forget that they'll be playing at home.

Leipzig too is another team that has to climb a very tough mountain to win today. They're at home so they have that advantage, but I don't think their recent form is an advantage. They're kind of inconsistent lately. I'll try as much as possible to watch both matches because they'll both be interesting.

[Minor Miner]

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.

As good as the Real Madrid team is currently, I don't think a team like Leipzig will be able to stop Madrid's winning streak.

Real Madrid's players have played brilliantly in every match of the group stage. Madrid won all 6 matches. Real Madrid team won by dominating both matches against Napoli. And Ancelotti is very serious in Champions League matches. He will try his best this season to win the Champions League title. My prediction is Real Madrid will win both home and away matches against Leipzig to secure their quarter final ticket.

Leipzig is an average team. Real Madrid is above this in terms of squad quality. Of course, the absence of Bellingham will affect them badly, but still, the remaining players are good and have the quality to take the team to the next round. Of course, Real can advance by winning 2 matches, but even in the worst case scenario, I think they will advance. Even if they lose in this match, they will advance to Spain.

[SmartCharpa]

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'm still surprised by the odds that Real Madrid has against Leipzig. Leipzig's players don't seem strong enough to compete with Real Madrid in this match, and even with those odds, I don't think Real Madrid will lose. I believe the betting sites are confused because they don't know what kind of odds to give Real Madrid. These are the odds that Real Madrid has against Leipzig before some of their players get injured. We'll see if Leipzig can surprise us against Madrid today.

Jude Bellingham is injured and may not be able to play in today's match against Leipzig. Ancelotti will likely start Brahim Diaz in Jude Bellingham's position, but even without him, I don't think Real Madrid will lost against Leipzig. Even in the Bundesliga, Leipzig has lost to weak teams, and in their last six games, they have only won once, which is against Union Berlin. I know they may find it challenging to defeat Leipzig because of the absence of some of their key players, I still think Real Madrid will win, no matter how challenging their opponents might prove.

[vennali]

It should be a fairly easy win for Man City, who will be travelling to face København. The previous meeting was in 2022 which ended in a goalless draw but a big factor for that was a red card that Man city had accumulated early into the game.

Leipzig vs Real Madrid however, will be the one unpredictable match but I'll be favouring Real Madrid even though they are missing their key player Jude Bellingham. Leipzig however have been struggling to find form and have lost 3 of the last 5 matches and drew 1 in that. So, Man City and Real Madrid to win it is.

[Dzigie]

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.

Manchester City are favorites against Copenhagen. Real Madrid are favorites against Leipzig. I think that is what almost everyone thinks tonight. Manchester City have beaten strong teams like Newcastle and Tottenham in their last games. They are effective in attack and solid in defense. Copenhagen will face them in their prime this season. Real Madrid beat Girona and drew with Atletico Madrid in their last game. They are also very effective in attack and solid in defense. I think these two teams will win tonight despite being away. However, the odds for Manchester City to win are not satisfactory. We need to risk a bit more to get a good profit from that match.

[BABY SHOES]

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.

Not expecting more because we know that Manchester City will have more chances to win so it's not an exciting match - I feel like we'll be guessing.
But who knows if the game ends in a draw for example? It's not a big surprise or a loss for Manchester City but look at when they play at home or the second leg then it's going to be a ferocious game.

Yes it's true that sometimes playing at home is more aggressive but we have to know that their opponents are the kings of Europe with the most trophies so knowing who's going to get away with it, it's easier to guess.

I hope that's true, but no one knows for sure whether Real Madrid can win the match, draw or lose. All of these possibilities exist and should not be ignored, but I don't think there is a big risk of defeat even if Real Madrid is without Jude Bellingham.

Vinicius is in good condition at the moment after recovering from injury. He is on fire and very difficult to stop, so I hope Vinicius can be the difference in this match and lead Real Madrid to win the first leg. It doesn't matter how many goals are scored, the most important thing is to get out from Germany with a win. 0 - 1, 0 - 2, 1 - 2, or 1 - 3 doesn't matter, winning is much more important.

Oh I see! That's the reason why madrid was given that kind of odds because since I saw the odd I was contemplating on why real Madrid that has both the attacking prowlers and all the class and experience playing in the champions league to be given that kind of odds but I guess it's totally understandable now as their star man and I think the power house of the team isn't available so that kinda reduced their chances of winning by a landslide.

If Real Madrid wants to win, of course they cannot underestimate Leipzig, especially with the absence of important players Bellingham and the absence of a central defender which will certainly have a bad impact on Real Madrid. In this match, it looks like Ancelotti will play center back Nacho who is partnered with Tchouameni and Bellingham will be replaced by Brahim.

Apart from that, Leipzig during the group phase was quite productive, even managing to score 13 goals in six matches. And if you look at the meeting between the two teams, they met in the Champions League group stage last season. At that time, both teams beat each other at their respective home grounds. So my prediction is that this match will be intense and full of surprises, I will bet Over 3 on total goals.

When it comes to the champoins league knockout stages there are teams who knows how to go about it. Real Madrid are well experienced in this competition and they are going to use that experience and knockout Leipzig. Yes Leipzig will show some resilience but in the end it will be real Madrid who will progress to the next stage. I tipping real Madrid to win tonight game. Madrid are currently inform and I don't see them jeopardizing this game.

Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. He knows the capabilities of his opponents well. And even if I think Leipzig are a very weak team, Ancelotti will not underestimate this team at all. Because he knows very well that the opposition can become dangerous at home at any moment.

Real Madrid are very strong and experienced but their main weakness in this match is not with Bellingham squad. Madrid will not have three experienced players like Bellingham, Rudiger and Alaba with the squad for this match. Even so Vini and Rodrygo are on good terms. Hope Madrid win this match.
