UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[dezoel]

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.

Sure the toughest fixture of the champions league matches today is certainly the match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid because these two teams have been very active in their respective leagues though looking at Inter Milan's form in the serie A one can actually give them the odds in today's game but this is champions league where teams from various leagues are being merged together and considering the fact that Atletico Madrid have a very solid defense line would even make it very difficult for Inter Milan to penetrate hence I see this match as unpredictable. The both coaches are very tactical and knows the right formation to follow each team they meet but regarding the fact that they are from two separate leagues would make their formation look complex for today's match.

Here we have some hype about this match as this could be one of the toughest on papers, but I have different view because we are watching Inter Milan which is having one of the best time with their performance and things are also going into their favour for the win in this match they concede only 1 goal in last few games at home and done all wins which is amazing stuff and Atlético Madrid is having only one win in away games with they are losing consistently due to their weak defense even their attack is at his best but still things are not going good for them in last few matches.

No doubt different leagues with different strategies and coaches surely try their best for having their best but still I am going with Italian side to have better performance and good result in this match because they are surely deserved this all with their current level of performance.

The main reason why everyone considers Arsenal as favorites is because Arsenal players have been able to score a lot of goals in the last few matches. The team's players scored 14 goals in the last three matches. Another important thing is that they won 3-1 against Liverpool who are at the top of the Premier League table. For these reasons, Arsenal team is considered as favorite against Porto.

Current performance of Porto team is not good. Poor performances from Porto's attacking players. Strikers are having a lot of trouble scoring goals. But the defense of this team is very strong. And I think Porto will play a defensive strategy against Arsenal. And playing defensively will make it much more difficult for Arsenal's players to score. Personally, I don't think Arsenal will be able to win this match by a big margin.

Honestly, could you blame them? They have been playing amazingly for the last few weeks and they are incredibly on form, so why would we not really put them as the most obvious choice? It looks like it would be the most obvious result in the end. I get that it may feel like a special deal, but Arsenal is far superior than Porto, they do not look even remotely close. Have we seen bigger upsets in football before?

Of course we have, sometimes smaller clubs play much bigger than who the yare and that is always a great thing, but sometimes they just end up not being all that great at all neither. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with Arsenal win, and Porto will not shock the world with a win over Arsenal at all.

[udidrone]

Inter are really very highly favoured today. I must say that they have been doing a superb work in the Serie A so far. But their opponent is Atletico Madrid anyway. This is technically a quite difficult match on paper. Atletico Madrid aren't having a poor season either so I wonder where I'm missing a point.    I don't feel like it would be a very comfortable win for Inter in terms of score. But when it comes to how this would end up I would expect Inter to win one way or another.

They had better do so because their job will be much more difficult in Spain. 

I can't predict this match even though Inter Milan is favored maybe because of playing at home but there is no guarantee Inter Milan will win, I think this match will end with a low goal and for under 2.5 goals not a bad idea. Atletico Madrid will play more defensively and hope this match will end in a draw so in the second leg Atletico Madrid will try to win it, it's just that today Inter Milan will not let it be easy after all Inter Milan will try to take advantage of the opportunity to play at home so that in the second leg their duties will be easier.

...

Lazio only beat Bayern thanks to a red card and a penalty. This is the case when only luck but not professionalism helps to win. I do not exclude that Atletico may not lose today, because in football often unpredictable things happen and Inter and Atletico are about the same teams, but still I think that Inter will win because now their class is higher than Atletico's.

Your analysis could not be further from the truth. Lazio wasn't lucky. Bayern Munich did not have a single shot on target in 90 minutes. I am saying no shot, nada! They were passing the ball back and forth, they had good accuracy and the tried to get shots on target all the time, but they did not manage to force the Lazio goalkeeper to defend a single shot! And you call that lucky Lazio? Or is Bayern's inability to play fruitful attacks recently?

I ask you, did you see Upamecano's foul in the box and how he jumped onto the leg of Isaksen? That was insanity and he risked to break his leg... Tell me that was no penalty!

Yes, I saw his foul not only in the Lazio game but also in the Bochum game. But that's not the point. If Lazio hadn't scored a penalty, the score would have been 0-0. Now tell me Lazio didn't win that match because of the penalty. Of course the red card was shown fairly and Lazio probably deserved this win. But anyway this victory was only because of the penalty and not otherwise.

Inter Milan is very strong defensively and having good experience in UCL and last year runner-up of the competition is another advantage to the team, it would be absolutely difficult for  Atl Madrid to penetrate their defence line, I think the outcome of the match is dicey because  Atl. Madrid has been doing well in Laliga too placed 4th on the table and having defeated Las Palmas 5-0 in the league match last weekend thus they are also a force to reckon with in the league thus I forsee a very close tie between the two teams, I believe  Atl. Madrid would play attacking football as usual but would definitely met stiff opposition of Inter Milan defence line.

Moreover, playing at home, their advantage will be overwhelming by seeing how the work in Serie A is amazing that Inter Milan continues to win.

So far Inter Milan will be favored over Atletico Madrid but the possibility of this match will be tough both teams can score each other or with a narrow win by Inter Milan because however I will still bet on Inter's victory.

The Spanish team has a great performance in its own league so Inter Milan should not underestimate even at home and I think Inzhagi will think about how they have to win as the host.

I can't predict this match even though Inter Milan is favored maybe because of playing at home but there is no guarantee Inter Milan will win, I think this match will end with a low goal and for under 2.5 goals not a bad idea.

Atletico Madrid are not favorites in their away match against Inter. Atletico Madrid is considered not to have a high chance of winning the match, while Inter, who is playing at home, is the favorite. The second leg would be very interesting if Inter and Atletico Madrid draw today, but the chances of Inter winning at home today are too high.

I don't think Atletico Madrid can be underestimated, they are a solid team whether defending or counter-attacking. Inter has a chance to win, Atletico Madrid also has it, so regardless of the odds for both, a draw is also possible and you should not ignore it.

I don't really see a favorite in any champions league game and they don't get to win that easy but in this game I believe Inter are going to do their best to get a win at home and we all know Atletico Madrid and their style of defending especially in the champions league as of then but this season their style have changed a little, this game can produce more then 2 goals because the visitors are now playing a very open game than their best known defending pattern.
The first half can end in a draw but the 2nd half will be promising with more actions and maybe goals, that's if Inter Milan scores first but if the visitors get the first goal I believe Diego Simeone will go back to that defensive style, the coach is some how hard to predict, if I'm to predict I'd go for a draw.

Not undermining their opponent but victory in this game is for inter milan, this season has been a great one for them with much better performance than their Spanish opponent tonight. Though it's definitely going to be a tough game as both teams are known to have a solid defense and attacking midfield but in this inter will find a way to make sure they beat ATM to qualify to the next round. Can't wait to see all the events unfolding tonight.

Although indeed, that Inter is the favorite team in this first leg of the Champion League match against Atletico this time but even so, of course it will not be easy for Inter to be able to beat Atletico . Because anyway, at least Atletico can also play with good defense and so can about Inter, and because they both have good defense then I also believe that this match will be very tough. Although one of them has a chance to win,but I believe the score that occurs in this match will not be much and therefore, winning with a thin score in this match is still very possible to happen . But the point is, Inter and Atletico are teams that both have good quality and therefore, even though Inter play at home I don't think it can be fully used to be able to easily beat the away team in this match.

[Chilwell]

The match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid is gonna be decided by how Atletico Madrid wake up today, if they wake up in a good mood, we can expect a surprise on the Giussepe Meazza and see a win for the spaniard team, if they dont wake up in a good mood we can expect a dominan Inter and a win like 1 or two null for them.

I know what inter Milan can do in this game and, they will not take this game easy with Atletico Madrid in the first half than to use Italy league competition tactics to handle the game in a way they will have opportunity to secure victory from the game and to have hope of fighting for the UEFA champions league trophy.


 There is no way the two teams will not secure a goal from this game but Inter Milan will win the game at the end with 2:1 for inter Milan to remain in a good position and, I believe Inter Milan will not miss their opportunity in this game today.

I am much confidence that inter will play this match with peace of mind because of the confortability they have in their home league but still this doesn't guarantee their winnings because on 27 Aug, 2010 they played against Atletico Madrid and they were defeated and then they are the top on the table and Atletico Madrid where at 9th position in the table, while in 2018 inter Milan win with one to nothing while in fourth place and Atletico Madrid finished as a Runner-up that season, for any club to reach this stage in Champions league definitely the are consistent in the performance, sometimes home league performance don't determine the performance of out league matches, the two competition are different entirely, this requires maximum participation to come out victorious.

Your analysis could not be further from the truth. Lazio wasn't lucky. Bayern Munich did not have a single shot on target in 90 minutes. I am saying no shot, nada! They were passing the ball back and forth, they had good accuracy and the tried to get shots on target all the time, but they did not manage to force the Lazio goalkeeper to defend a single shot! And you call that lucky Lazio? Or is Bayern's inability to play fruitful attacks recently?

I ask you, did you see Upamecano's foul in the box and how he jumped onto the leg of Isaksen? That was insanity and he risked to break his leg... Tell me that was no penalty!

Yes, I saw his foul not only in the Lazio game but also in the Bochum game. But that's not the point. If Lazio hadn't scored a penalty, the score would have been 0-0. Now tell me Lazio didn't win that match because of the penalty. Of course the red card was shown fairly and Lazio probably deserved this win. But anyway this victory was only because of the penalty and not otherwise.

Please don't misquote me. I never said that the penalty was not decisive, it was! The penalty was the reason why Lazio won the game. But I countered your claim that the win was lucky. If a defender attacks an offender in the most stupid and aggressive way possible in the box, isn't it rather Bayern' stupidity instead of Lazio's luck that this game ended with a win for Lazio? That is what I said.

I also said that Bayern did not have a single shot on target. Now I will use your strategy and say "Now tell me that Bayern didn't win that match although they had so many huge chances". They had chances, but the entire team failed at even making the goalkeeper use his hands once! Can you believe it? It's true, check the game. Bayern did not have one shot that the goalkeeper had to defend. They were not able to hit any zone within the frame of Lazio's goal in 90 minutes. Lazio lucky? Or Bayern weak?

[Slow death]

my predictions for today's games:

FC Inter Milano - Atletico Madrid

without a doubt that this will be a very complicated game to predict, atlético madrid has done well in the league mainly because it managed to stop real madrid in some games, but I also take into account that real madrid is weak, other teams in the league league are also weak, and when I look at inter, I see a stronger team, that's why in my opinion inter will win this game, so I'll bet on inter if I see that the squad that will play is the best they have he has. Since Inter played against Manchester City in last season's Champions League final, Inter have had few defeats, less than 5 in more than 30 games and have been in many consecutive games without losing even when playing against strong teams.


PSV Eindhoven - Borussia Dortmund

psv is being seen as the favorite by bookmakers and this actually makes sense because psv is the leader of the table in its eredivisie league, in the eredivisie psv has been a team that has managed to score a lot of goals and has conceded few goals, although the quality of most teams in the eredivisie is very low, so I have some doubts about PSV when they play against teams from other European leagues, from what I saw from PSV in the European Champions League games in the group stage, they had Lucky to be in a group of very weak teams, the exception was the arsenal. They played against Sevilla who this season and last season have been a disaster, they also played against Lens who are not a strong team, they also played against Arsenal and lost in the first leg in a humiliating way, but in the second leg the game ended with draw

while Dortmund despite not being well this season, yet in the last 9 games Dortmund has not lost in any game, this is something that shows that Dortmund is recovering, that's why in my opinion I see Dortmund coming out with victory in this game, I'll bet on Dortmund if I see the squad they used

[tyz]

The PSV vs Dortmund match will be won by PSV Eindhoven. The Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match will be a draw.

Bold statement. I hold against it. Even though Eindhoven are doing very well in the league at the moment and Dortmund have weakened recently, I think Dortmund is clearly the better team. Of course, there may be surprises, but if the game goes normally, Dortmund should progress to next round.

[Altryist]

In the Champions League it is always more difficult to make predictions before the match starts because everyone cannot take a benchmark on the performance of each team from what has happened in their respective local leagues. I also think that Inter Milan is the favorite today, but unexpected things could also happen today, like what happened to Bayern Munich when they faced Lazio in the Champions League last week. Even though in general Bayern Munich was also the favorite at that time.

There is no point in comparing Inter with Bayern now, because Bayern is in decline, and Inter is now in very good shape, so they should play well at home. But they need to take into account that Atletico is also in very good shape and despite some losses they look good, especially their attack. I think that both teams will score in this match, unless Semione wants to remember how he used to play defensive football, which I doubt. It’s difficult for me to choose a favorite for this match, I see a draw here.

[AprilioMP]

Atletico Madrid are not favorites in their away match against Inter. Atletico Madrid is considered not to have a high chance of winning the match, while Inter, who is playing at home, is the favorite. The second leg would be very interesting if Inter and Atletico Madrid draw today, but the chances of Inter winning at home today are too high.

I don't think Atletico Madrid can be underestimated, they are a solid team whether defending or counter-attacking. Inter has a chance to win, Atletico Madrid also has it, so regardless of the odds for both, a draw is also possible and you should not ignore it.

The draw is a good opportunity for those who have placed bets. Choosing Atletico Madrid is a courage taken by bettors.
Atletico Madrid is indeed a solid team in defense, but the quality of Atletico Madrid's defense is almost the same as Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Inter and Atletico just conceded 4 goals when playing away. Atletico won 1 win, 2 draws and 0 lost the away match at UCL. Inter Milan's history of home match gets 2 wins. Both according to statistics at UCL this season are almost balanced, but if in the Inter Domestic League is better than Atletico.

I chose to draw even though my hunch preferred to support Inter.

[Gencecikmen]

Today, there is UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches first leg. In my opinion, the favorite teams are Borussia Dortmund and Internazionale. I feel like we will watch very enjoyable matches.

Luuk de Jong, 33, is having a helluva time in his second spell at PSV. He has already scored 27 times in all competitions and is on course to have his best goalscoring season. He has scored 32 on three occasions, twice for PSV and once at Twente. PSV's starting XI against Borussia Dortmund: Walter Benitez, Jordan Teze, Jerdy Schouten, Olivier Boscagli, Sergino Dest, Malik Tillman, Joey Veerman, Ismael Saibari, Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong, Hirving Lozano. Borussia Dortmund's starting XI against PSV : Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ian Maatsen, Marcel Sabitzer, Emre Can, Donyell Malen, Marco Reus, Jadon Sancho, Niclas Fullkrug.

These teams have only met once before in the 2010 Super Cup that Atletico Madrid win at second-half goals from José Antonio Reyes and Sergio Agüero. Internazionale's starting XI against Atletico Madrid: ommer, Pavard, de Vrij, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez. Atletico Madrid's starting XI against Internazionale : Oblak, Molina, Witsel, Gimenez, Hermoso, Samuel Dias, Llorente, De Paul, Koke, Saul, Griezmann.

[bitzizzix]

The PSV vs Dortmund match will be won by PSV Eindhoven. The Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match will be a draw.

Bold statement. I hold against it. Even though Eindhoven are doing very well in the league at the moment and Dortmund have weakened recently, I think Dortmund is clearly the better team. Of course, there may be surprises, but if the game goes normally, Dortmund should progress to next round.

And in my opinion, if you look at the performance of the two teams in their respective leagues, the match between PSV and Borussia Dortmund is predicted to be fierce and tight in order to qualify for the next round. Considering this is a very important match in this prestigious league and they will definitely show their best performance and squad.
And considering that host PSV performed solidly in the group phase, in my opinion they are a team that should not be underestimated, and PSV's defense is very good which will be an important task for Borussia Dortmund to be able to score goals.

The draw is a good opportunity for those who have placed bets. Choosing Atletico Madrid is a courage taken by bettors.
Atletico Madrid is indeed a solid team in defense, but the quality of Atletico Madrid's defense is almost the same as Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Inter and Atletico just conceded 4 goals when playing away. Atletico won 1 win, 2 draws and 0 lost the away match at UCL. Inter Milan's history of home match gets 2 wins. Both according to statistics at UCL this season are almost balanced, but if in the Inter Domestic League is better than Atletico.

I chose to draw even though my hunch preferred to support Inter.

Simone Inzaghi and Diego Simeone seem to have the same strategy in this match. Both adopt the same formation as 3-5-2, meaning they will utilize the midfielder's strengths to dominate the midfield. This formation tends to be adaptive when transitioning from attack to defense, so I think the philosophies of the two coaches are not much different.

A draw is a sensible choice for the first leg, of course there is a reason why it is a draw. The form of the two teams in the Champions League is relatively similar and both are unbeaten in the group stage. I believe both teams will try to win the match and take advantage of the opportunities that exist, but Inter playing at home is considered more deserving of a high probability of victory. The team's performance in the domestic league is a reference, but I think the atmosphere of the Champions League will never be the same as the domestic league.

[entertheabyss]

Inter are really very highly favoured today. I must say that they have been doing a superb work in the Serie A so far. But their opponent is Atletico Madrid anyway. This is technically a quite difficult match on paper. Atletico Madrid aren't having a poor season either so I wonder where I'm missing a point.    I don't feel like it would be a very comfortable win for Inter in terms of score. But when it comes to how this would end up I would expect Inter to win one way or another.

They had better do so because their job will be much more difficult in Spain. 

The main job of these teams is crucial winning in matches. Inter Milan are favorite to win Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 first leg. What do they need to have thrilling winning against Los Colchoneros? Inter Milan are home and we already know what that means, don't we? Simeone Inzaghi will not take any solid chances because the side he's facing is also consider very tough when it comes to defensive football, if he loses a game, the goals conceded doesn't reach 3 goals. He did good to maintain that level till this very moment and Inter Milan is big threat for them.
