UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[tyz]

There are 4 matches left in the first round of 16, PSV vs Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid, Porto vs Arsenal and Napoli vs Barcelona.

Still think that Dortmund, Arsenal and Barca should not have big problems to get into the next round. I'm going back and forth on who will come out as winner for Inter against Atletico. At the moment I'm leaning towards Inter, as they're dominating the league. However, Atletico are always good for surprises, so I assume both matches will be very close.

There is no doubt about Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona, but even if these three teams are favorites, there will always be unexpected surprises. Moreover, these three teams will play away matches in the first leg, of course their chances of winning will not be as big as at home. Home teams like PSV, Porto and Napoli will try to secure home advantage and even though it is quite difficult, at least they have to do it rather than in the second leg they will have even more difficulties.

On the other hand, if we talk about the Inter vs Atletico match, of course this is an even match and even though Inter has made a very impressive record so far, with the level of aggressiveness and mentality that Atletico has, the results will still be very difficult to predict. Atletico could win considering they have a slightly younger composition of players and I think Inter must know how to prevent attacks that Atletico will carry out later. Both teams scoring goals is certain and perhaps the match would be much more exciting if neither team wanted to give up.

Sure, there can always be surprises, that's part of the game, otherwise you wouldn't watch it if it was already certain who would make it into next round. But betting is always based on probabilities. And I think the probability of the three teams advancing is disproportionately high. Surprises are not ruled out, of course.

Currently, Barcelona performed not really bad managed to achieve three wins from the last four matches in La Liga, I don't think its not good condition from Barcelona last several matches before and they had more confidence than Napoli have very poor performance in domestic league. Barcelona more favorable than Napoli when both team face each other in Champion League knock out round match, I think Barcelona can manage for winning above two goals on the first leg match.

In domestic competitions, in terms of results they are not too bad but looking at the last few matches they have done we must be aware that there are so many shortcomings that Barcelona must fix in this regard.
We must be aware in the last 5 matches even though the positive results they always get but in the end we know their problems are still very much especially in their scheme and defense.

Barcelona always do the tiki taka scheme that characterizes them but precisely because of that they are always unable to focus on defense which in the end it hurts themselves.
We must be aware that when Barcelona attacks by trying to lock up their opponent's defense, they are always inconvenienced because their own defense is always a lot of gaps, which in the end many goals scored by the opponents they face, such as the results against Granada, which even they must be willing to share points in that match.

For the Champions League facing Napoli is not an easy matter even though Napoli are in pain now because their performance is far from expectations but we realize that Barcelona's performance is also still a lot of gaps that will be very easy to penetrate.

Arsenal Porto match is a game that somehow we can already speculate Arsenal to win considering the recent form of Arsenal and the fact that they are in a league that way more competitive than that were in Porto is and yet they are doing so well already which means they are most likely to perform better than Porto in their meeting.

Barcelona has really been in an unstable form which I can't say if they are even really in a good form enough but I believe that they Will try their best to get the best out of this game, Napoli to isn't that much in perfect form either but then if their key player who helps their morale will be playing that game then I can be sure they will be very expectant about their results at the end of the game but then both team currently have the equal chance to get pass the round of sixteen until after this game this game we can say if one has got above the other.

It's normal to start speculating like that because Arsenal is a much better team and should be getting a win. I am not saying that nothing else is possible but it does look like the most common possibility .This is mainly because they are dealing with a situation that could benefit them one way or another, and for that to happen we need to just focus on whatever Arsenal is capable of.

If you bet on them to win then there is a much bigger chance to win that bet, of course it's gambling and we could always be wrong but I am not guessing that Arsenal would lose this one, the yare going to come out to play and they will get the score easily and very quickly as well. This should be the most important part of the deal. I am already taking my position to bet on their win.

[Ndabagi01]

Yes, Napoli and Barca is the match I'm also looking forward to. Barca is gradually regaining form. They are unbeaten in the last 4 games. Barca players will undoubtedly be very confident in their trip to Napoli. Napoli was at a considerable disadvantage in this match. Their number 1 striker, Victor Osimhen, was injured. Barca will likely win by a margin in this match.

Osimehn's injury will not put them at a significant disadvantage in this match. This is the Champions League, and it cannot be compared to their league games, where they have not performed well since Osimehn left to represent his country in AFCON. I believe that the intensity used in Champions League games differs from that used in domestic leagues. Barcelona has been on a winning streak, but that alone will not guarantee a quick victory over Napoli when they meet at Napoli’s home this week.

And the match Porto vs Arsenal. The victory was in favor of Arsenal. The luggage that Porto brought to this match is not good. It won't be easy for Porto when Arsenal is a much stronger team. Arsenal owns a high-class squad of outstanding quality. It is likely that Arsenal will win to maintain the sublime streak.

Arsenal are the better team in this match, and all indications are that they will win against FC Porto, despite the fact that FC Porto is not a small team that should be underestimated. The zeal with Arsenal now is unrivalled for FC Porto to manage at this point. I believe Arsenal will advance to the next round of the competition, but we'll have to wait and see how the match plays out. They have more chances to win than FC Porto.

No match is easy in the Champions League knockout stage, but with the form Arsenal is on, I cannot doubt their winning in this match. I am very confident and certain Arsenal will win FC Porto and they will be among the Champions League title favorites if they do well in this stage.

If we flash back to the h2h between Arsenal and Porto, you will see that the last five match result was equal as both team won two and they drew one; therefore, both of them have the chance to advance to the next level, but Arsenal is on fire and can win the match and finish the stage in the first match.

Yes, H2H in the last 5 matches is very balanced for the two teams and of course Arsenal has a better team performance. The past record of the two may not matter much now, but I don't think we should ignore the possibility that the two have a chance to win or draw.

Arsenal is on fire in its domestic competition, but Porto is also not bad. Porto is in 3rd place with 48 points from 22 matches, but the comparison of the quality and depth of their squads is very different. Arsenal are the favorites and I don't see much doubt about them winning the game, so Arsenal should be able to win the first leg.

We're quick enough to know the fast rising outstanding form of Arsenal, they're preparing themselves in all top tournaments they found themselves, not giving up but bringing on the exact excellent scores. Arsenal are only better in these previous EPL matches because they're outstanding and involved with good amount of goals. This is exactly what the fans and the headcoach was planning for the team. At this point, Mikel Arteta is doing a good job to enabled himself becomes the formidable pillar behind the progress of the Gunners.

I wouldn't be surprised if this season Bayern Munich failed in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Leverkusen has had a fantastic season this season which in fact is very difficult for any team to stop, including Bayern Munich. So it is natural that Leverkusen has a better performance than Bayern Munich and Leverkusen wins the match.

I saw Tuchel under a lot of pressure after the defeat in the first leg against Lazio. Bayern Munich did not have a single shot on target from their 17 attempts, which is one of the less good statistics about them. If Bayern Munich fails in the Champions League this season, especially in the round of 16, then Tuchel will probably not be safe until the end of the season.

Yep. Bayern Munich seems no longer as a strong team both in Bundesliga and in UCL. The role of the coach is very important, Tuchel makes Bayern Munich played under performance. When Tuchel came to Bayern Munich, people expect much that he can improve the performance of Bayern Munich. But he failed to beat the domination of Leverkusen in Bundesliga this season.

In UCL, it is very clear that there are too many big teams in this competition. Man City, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Arsenal become tough opponents for Bayern Munich. If Tuchel failed to improve the performance of Bayern Munich, they are likely to defeat by those teams.

I predict that Bayern Munich won't reach the final round if there is no change in their performance. Sure, if Bayern Munich fails to win the UCL trophy, Tuchel may be fired after the season is over. Bayern management must expect to get the best in this competition, it won't be acceptable for the failure. Bayern Munich deserves to hire a better coach.

The UEFA Champions League comes with a prize and Thomas Tuchel ready to pay for such?  He's showing his weaknesses and there's absolutely nothing he can do other than gathering his team back together and ensure winning becomes very easy for him. Bayern Munich have fallen out of the picture as serious contenders for the Bundesliga and also mo longer taken serious because they lost their first leg to Lazio in the round of 16. What's really happening to the Bavarians this season? The board have to things really swift because there's no positive change of the team at the moment.

[ancafe]

Arsenal is most experienced teams participants in UEFA Champion League but they had absent for longer time than FC Porto with their participants every season, I don't think its problem for Arsenal can't be favorable teams for defeating FC Porto exactly impressive performance in Premier League matches and Arsenal five matches in a row.
Had good result in Premier League matches, I think would be capital for Arsenal defeating Porto and make second leg match will be easily. Crucial with first leg match and secure winning above two or three goals automatically get more comfort zone for second leg match exactly Arsenal will be host for second leg.

In recent years Arsenal have had difficulty qualifying for the Champions League and this is different from Porto who can always represent their league in getting to the Champions League. Of course Arsenal have made improvements so that they are getting stronger and their performance this season is much different from before Arteta took over as coach. The problem is that the match will take place at Porto's home ground and statistically every club that comes to their home ground will have a little difficulty getting full points and this should be a special note for Arteta so that they don't miss the opportunity.

At least if Arsenal have difficulty getting full points they can draw and in the second leg they can surprise Porto at the Emirates Stadium. My prediction is that the match will probably end in a draw and even if not, Porto will emerge as winners with a slightly smaller goal margin.

I predict that Bayern Munich won't reach the final round if there is no change in their performance. Sure, if Bayern Munich fails to win the UCL trophy, Tuchel may be fired after the season is over. Bayern management must expect to get the best in this competition, it won't be acceptable for the failure. Bayern Munich deserves to hire a better coach.

If you look at Munich's current performance, I think it will be very difficult for them to reach the final. That's an unrealistic target in my opinion. Currently Real Madrid and City are the two teams that are the favorites to become champions. If Tuchel is fired because he didn't win the title, I think he should be ready to leave now. Because Muenhcen no longer has a chance in the Bundesliga and winning the Champions League will be very impossible with their current performance. I think the club board might still consider Tuchel staying in Munich if he can take Munich to the Champions League final.

Arsenal are the favorites and I don't see much doubt about them winning the game, so Arsenal should be able to win the first leg.

This means that both have the same chance if you look at their head to head data, but had to head cannot be a benchmark because it has already passed currently they have improved their performance to be better and are fighting for each other's places to qualify for the next round. Porto is the favorite in the first leg by the fans. But I'm sure the bettors still have the advantage over Arsenal even though the first leg is an away match because Arsenal performance was very good ends this.

Even though Porto is also performing well in the league, we can compare the quality of each league. Arsenal is in a league that is quite difficult to compete in, while Porto is in a league that is not as tight as the English league, so that differences is what makes many people believe that Arsenal will be the one who will qualify for the round next.

Based on the result in the domestic laeguea and going to the final will be very very unrealistic target. it was always losing against weak club and how can bayern reach to the final if it keeps to play like shit? Tuchel was so stubbord to implement his mediocre strategy and i think that this guy never learned from the good result last season.
Bayern is not even synched and there were many miscom between any players. Monza was able performing even far better compared to the bayern. This is my point to call that if bayern is performing so poorly and its gameplay is not even worthy to watch.

Tuchel is failed in making bayern to perform better. Time to get a new name to handle the club as soon as possible. People may be out of their patience by keep seeing this shit happened to the bayern. As a bettor and i was also feeling tired with that shit. It feels like bayern has lost all of its tooth.
It's a tootless lyon. Bayern has very big valuation on its squad but it has not winning mentality. I'd like yo call that as a mediocre club as well coz bayern munich is not even better compared to the monza.

Theoretically, Bayern would have been winning the game, but unfortunately, due to human errors, the club played even worst compared to the weak club in the bundesliga. There is still something that is fucking wrong with the club.
Tuchel is not even having impact to the club. It's very pathetic to watch it.

Barcelona more favorable than Napoli when both team face each other in Champion League knock out round match, I think Barcelona can manage for winning above two goals on the first leg match.

Napoli's performance this season is even worse in the domestic league this season, Napoli has fired its coach twice because Napoli's performance is very bad. until this week Napoli was only ranked 9th in the Italian league standings. very different from its appearance from last season which was able to win the Italian league title. but playing at home I think Napoli will provide resistance. if you lose, you only lose by a difference of 1 goal, it can be 1-0 or 2-1.

Never mind reaching the final to get through to the round of 16, it was quite difficult for Bayern Munich because they lost to Lazio in the first leg and Bayern Munich's performance was also very bad.
From a series of bad results received by Bayern Munich, the team's self-confidence worsened and made it difficult for them to recover in the next match.

To be able to win the UCL title this season seems very difficult and if that happens it will be a very big surprise because we also have to be realistic about the current strength of other teams and some teams are much stronger than Bayern Munich.

What's really happening to the Bavarians this season? The board have to things really swift because there's no positive change of the team at the moment.

All this falls back to Tuchel as the head coach, he needs to try his best and bring the team back to their winning ways as time is no more on his side again. For their Bundesliga title race, I have begin to remove them from potential contenders of the trophy. For Champions league, I still have hope in them and I think they can get it done and pass through to the next stage. Bayern Munich is one of the teams that many people have shortlisted for the champions league title contender, so their loss to Lazio isn’t the end for them until we see how they play out in Allianz Arena in their second leg match which in all sense they look so confidence in winning the game. I just hope Tuchel doesn’t mess things up again and get the team back to their winning form if not it might make his tenure at Bayern Munich limited or shortened.

[rendravolt]

Finally, the next match in the round of 16 of the Champions League will continue starting today, I am still curious to see the performance of each team in the match. Especially for the Inter vs Atletico match and of course we expect unusual surprises in the match. I want to see Atletico beat Inter, even though it's quite difficult but I'm pretty sure they can do it if there are no distractions. Moreover, if Atletico knows how to penetrate Inter's strong defense, it will be easier for them to win in the first leg. The chance is small but at least it can still be enough motivation to make things difficult for Inter at home.

On the other hand, Inter, who are still unbeaten from the group stage to their good performance in the domestic league, there is no doubt that they are one of the most terrible teams this season. But what is clear is that I hope Inter can find out the right strategy to repel every highly structured Atletico attack. A tactical battle will be presented between Filipo Simone and Diego Simione, it will be very difficult to predict the match and I think whoever can score the goal first will be the one who will win, even with a narrow score.

Inter Milan, who are in top form and they will also be playing at home, of course have much greater motivation to win this first leg match to make it easier for them to look forward to the second leg which will be played at home to Atletico Madrid.
If you look at the overall strength of these two teams, they are not much different, but it must also be admitted that Inter Milan is a little more consistent at the moment than Atletico, so in my opinion, Inter Milan's percentage of winning this First Leg match is much greater.

In this match I tried betting on Inter Milan winning with Odds @ 175 for the current betting market, because I think it's a little risky to bet on over or under goals so I decided it was better to bet on Inter winning, I think the winning percentage is much bigger and it's worth it with the possible benefits and risks faced.

Yep. Bayern Munich seems no longer as a strong team both in Bundesliga and in UCL. The role of the coach is very important, Tuchel makes Bayern Munich played under performance. When Tuchel came to Bayern Munich, people expect much that he can improve the performance of Bayern Munich. But he failed to beat the domination of Leverkusen in Bundesliga this season.

In UCL, it is very clear that there are too many big teams in this competition. Man City, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Arsenal become tough opponents for Bayern Munich. If Tuchel failed to improve the performance of Bayern Munich, they are likely to defeat by those teams.

I predict that Bayern Munich won't reach the final round if there is no change in their performance. Sure, if Bayern Munich fails to win the UCL trophy, Tuchel may be fired after the season is over. Bayern management must expect to get the best in this competition, it won't be acceptable for the failure. Bayern Munich deserves to hire a better coach.

Bayern Munich decline in performance was caused by the actions of club officials who made a panic decision when replacing Julian Nagelsmann with Tuchel. Statistically, Julian Nagelsmann is better than Tuchel, he is still very worthy of being kept at least until the end of this season. I think Munich is facing karma due to the very sudden dismissal of Nagelsmann, Tuchel, who was expected to be able to bring Munich success in local and European competitions, actually did not meet expectations.

Now it is starting to be doubtful that Munich will be able to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga and their progress is also starting to hit a wall after losing in the first leg to Lazio. I also predict the same thing, if Munich fails in the UCL and Bundesliga, Tuchel will be out of a job sooner than expected.

[LGD2Business]

I don't understand how the betting odds for PSV Eindhoven to win are higher. Borussia Dortmund is the favorite of this round, but it seems that they are not trusted enough on the road by betting companies. I think there can be 3 goals in this match. The odds of over 2.5 goals is also quite good. Dortmund have drawn a lot in the league, but they don't lose. They won't lose this match either. In the last matches, Füllkrug always scored goals, Malen can also score goals. Dortmund has a good offensive line. I think Dortmund is the better team in this matchup.

[Nheer]

Yes, Napoli and Barca is the match I'm also looking forward to. Barca is gradually regaining form. They are unbeaten in the last 4 games. Barca players will undoubtedly be very confident in their trip to Napoli. Napoli was at a considerable disadvantage in this match. Their number 1 striker, Victor Osimhen, was injured. Barca will likely win by a margin in this match.

It’s a match everyone is looking for to because it will be a very interesting game, the both teams have been struggling of poor performance recently but Barcelona seen to have improved a bit in their recent games, it is not actually a great performance to be proud of but they manage to a get a win. You are right, they have now gone 4 games unbeaten but it doesn’t mean they back in top form because have been watching their games recently and i have not been satisfied with their wins and performance, it is not really a convincing performance but so far they seem to be better than Napoli.

Napoli has an advantage in my opinion because they are playing at home and Osimhen should be available for the game against Barcelona on Wednesday, he missed the match against Genoa due to a precautionary measure taken because he is not fully fit and it would be risky to play him. Just read a new reporting that he would be available to play against Barcelona for the knockout round of the Champions League. See link below

https://punchng.com/osimhen-may-play-50-minutes-against-barca/?amp

Osimhen’s injury will not put them at a significant disadvantage in this match. This is the Champions League, and it cannot be compared to their league games, where they have not performed well since Osimehn left to represent his country in AFCON. I believe that the intensity used in Champions League games differs from that used in domestic leagues. Barcelona has been on a winning streak, but that alone will not guarantee a quick victory over Napoli when they meet at Napoli’s home this week.

If Osimhen should be absent it will be a huge blow for Napoli because he is one of their most valuable players and his contribution will be very significant. Champions League is different but the way Napoli would approach the game and be more serious is the same way Barcelona would also be so both teams need all the help they can get and Osimhen missing out might be costly.
