UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Woodie]

It is true that we are going to see a huge great game today, because while these two teams ended up playing terrible during the group stage, they are still the best teams we know. Real Madrid and Manchester City game will be amazing. However, looking at the season so far, I have to say that Real Madrid will probably win this one, Manchester City has been terrible.

My thoughts too, but I was shocked to find that all bookies have Manchester City has favorites to win today and am wondering what metrics they used to arrive at this...is it because City rested it's key players for this fixture and expect them to do wonders against the most decorated team of the champions league 

I mean Real had a bad start to the season as well, plus they lost many players to injury, and now have some bad situation going at defense too. However, even with all of that, they are still the better team and I am sure that they are going to end up with the win. This isn't a sure thing of course, we need to wait and see, but I am going to bet on them.

You know what, I just realized both are playing a shity game in the Champions league which is why they aren't anywhere near the top with the new format

Knock Out will start today and everyone must be excited about the Man City vs Madrid match including myself. A little review where Madrid has not been able to win at Man City home based on H2H so this proves how difficult it is for Ancelotti troops to break Pep Guardiola's defense. But now the composition of Man City defenders is different Walker who used to be Vinicius nightmare is gone, but that doesn't mean everything is easy considering Vinicius and Mbappe often compete for wing positions. If that happens maybe there won't be a sharp attack combination.

Well, I also doubt Madrid will win easily at the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, referring to the odds of both teams, the bookies give almost equal opportunities for both teams. It's just that City seems slightly favored because they are playing at home, while Madrid has lost some of their core defenders. On the other hand, I have a slightly different opinion from what you assume. Real Madrid has a front line that has above average individual skills, if they are in prime condition then City's defense will be overwhelmed to stop them. Not only Vinicius Junior, there are Rodrygo, Mbappe and Bellingham, these players are quite dangerous when they are in the opponent's vulnerable area. However, City also has players who are actually deadly in the opponent's defense area, if they are in prime condition then these players are very difficult to block. Unfortunately, Manchester City is currently very unstable. Well, let's just see and I hope this match presents a very exciting fight to enjoy.

The both teams are not in their very best but in terms of comparison, Real Madrid are more better than Man City and if I were to give a straight win, Ancelloti's men will be my favorites. Indeed this game will be a tough one as both sides would be looking to best the other for a shot at making the round of 16 and despite the fact that there'd be a return leg, I think either side would make sure to make this one count so the second might not be too difficult for them.
 It will be a hard fought match and first half will end in a draw.

Is it possible for the bookies to see from their own home games? Broadly speaking, home matches are usually influential for the host so now Manchester City is the favorite.
I don't know which one will win which is clearly a Big Match match.
Everyone's eyes will be on this match... and it wouldn't be surprising if many people pick Real Madrid with high odds.

I equally have the same feelings that Manchester City can win, I found it difficult to predict despite Manchester City condition, I think they will want to surprise us. I'm not doubting Real Madrid Victory but since Manchester City are the Host and they will like to prove themselves even though they are not in their best performance but I know something strange will happen.

I mean Real had a bad start to the season as well, plus they lost many players to injury, and now have some bad situation going at defense too.

You know what, I just realized both are playing a shity game in the Champions league which is why they aren't anywhere near the top with the new format  

truly Real Madrid didn't start well but this wasn't the first time they started champions league with poor performance but along the way they they turned out to be the best and at the same time they win the title. When it comes to champions league Real Madrid have their own way of dealing with it. That why I don't feel scared when is Madrid.

[AprilioMP]

I think Real Madrid vs Manchester City will end in draw.

The possibility will occur at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City isn't that strong in this season, while Real Madrid also same since they lost many of their defenders. Manchester City can't even beat Arsenal and PSG, Real Madrid is also a strong team, that's why I think Manchester City will not able to beat Real Madrid even they will play in Etihad.

It might be different when Manchester City faced Real Madrid because of Manchester City's strong desire to be able to survive in the UEFA Champions League even though Manchester City got a lot of analysis from people that Pep Guardiola's squad would surrender in this round.

The other match, I predict PSG, Juventus and Dortmund will win.

PSG will draw. Juventus are also drawn and Dortmund is also the same according to my prediction.

 It will be a hard fought match and first half will end in a draw.

There is no denying that Real madrid's overall performance is stronger than Manchester City. Even Madrid is quite consistent now. Although Madrid has failed to win against Espanyol and Atletico Madrid in the last two matches. Even then, I would say Real Madrid is more consistent than Manchester City.

Manchester City's weakness  is their attack. Manchester city cannot play well against a strong defense. Mainly because of the weakness of the midfield, the performance of City's attack players is probably also weak.

On the other hand Real madrid's weakness is their defense. Both  teams have weaknesses. So I would say that the chances of both teams winning this match are equal at the moment. Most of the  bettors consider Madrid as the favorite. However, I also see a small chance of City winning.

Im expecting a lot of goals between these two teams. Hopefully they dont go into really hard defence and just play by tactic. I think both teams have the attacking power to score. Im just intrested to know how Man City will play because they usually concede goals from their own mistakes.

I'm confident about this particular clash between Manchester City vs Real Madrid. It's enlisted as one of the tough fixture in the UEFA Champions League tonight, I'm not missing this game for any thing, more reason for me to canceled all plans for tonight because it's credible football events. Let's go into details about this game, I'm expecting both sides to record a goal because they're no random average team, they know how to bang goals and become eligible for constructive headings.

Pep Guardiola wouldn't jeopardize his chances at home, absolutely scouting factors to enable him stand out to become the very best. However their oppositions is is also not mediocre, they're on top of their game and know how to handle Manchester City at Etihad stadium. It becomes more clear when these teams are striving for greater results, we know the best is yet to come.

Brest vs PSG

Brest (confirmed lineup): Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Soumaila Coulibaly, Massadio Haidara, Mahdi Camara, Pierre Lees-Melou, Hugo Magnetti, Romain Faivre, Ludovic Ajorque, Abdallah Sima.

PSG (confirmed lineup): Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue.

Both teams have met before in the early stages of the competition and PSG humiliated Brest by scoring 5 goals. Now the are meeting again for knockout play-off and this time around Brest are hosting PSG for the first leg, many will be saying PSG are lucky but to me they should consider them a tough opponent so they can still repeat the same thing again by winning them with many goals. On the other hand Brest will be prepared to withstand any pressure coming from PSG to avoid more damage. I have confidence in PSG victory because they are in winning track for long term.

City have been terrible in all leagues this season... It can be said that they are very lucky to qualify, but unfortunately they were unlucky to meet Real Madrid at an early stage... I don't know if Real can beat City today, but I think a draw and a goal exchange is more likely... I'm sure after the return match City will be left to deal with the tough tasks in the EPL...

It is true that we are going to see a huge great game today, because while these two teams ended up playing terrible during the group stage, they are still the best teams we know. Real Madrid and Manchester City game will be amazing. However, looking at the season so far, I have to say that Real Madrid will probably win this one, Manchester City has been terrible.

Real Madrid has been terrible just like Manchester City and I don’t see any of them been in a position that we may see one team more superior than the other one. Manchester City has been poor this season and we can’t say much about it as we’ve seen that even Real Madrid that we are seeing as the team to be in the position of winning the champions league more are in a dire situation now. We should just not look down on any of them and any of the team can equally win the match by the way their performance will be in the game today.

I mean Real had a bad start to the season as well, plus they lost many players to injury, and now have some bad situation going at defense too. However, even with all of that, they are still the better team and I am sure that they are going to end up with the win. This isn't a sure thing of course, we need to wait and see, but I am going to bet on them.

Betting on them to me is a very big risk but we can’t afford to forget that Real Madrid are the only team who have won the most champions league trophies and in any condition they may have been, they will still be the most favorable to win the game. Of course, when betting because of their past records, they’re in the position to win but if it is based on their current form this season, they’re will not be in the best chance to win the match.

Im expecting a lot of goals between these two teams. Hopefully they dont go into really hard defence and just play by tactic. I think both teams have the attacking power to score. Im just intrested to know how Man City will play because they usually concede goals from their own mistakes.

Man City has problems with its back line right now. I hope they play more disciplinedly in the next match. If not, maybe Madrid's attackers can be more aggressive and make Man City helpless.
I hope Pep still has the right tactics for facing Madrid. The situation might be exciting, but it could also be boring if Man City doesn't perform as expected.
Anyway, both are big teams that have to beat each other. We will lose one of them in the next round. Neither is good, but this is the competition.

Unfortunately, Manchester City is currently very unstable. Well, let's just see and I hope this match presents a very exciting fight to enjoy.

And this is one of the games that everyone have been waiting for because we already know who is going to win but I have a strong feeling that Madrid should be able to win Manchester City because arsenal was able to win Manchester City, and it is not about been favoured so there is no way that Manchester City will be able to win Madrid easily so there is going to be a lot of difference and there is need for Madrid to win but we are expecting a very tough game.

Mbappe and Bellingham Are the strength that Madrid have currently and they will make use of it am sure of that so the game is going to be a tough one but I expect a lot of competition in this game because no one would have expected Manchester City to win because of the kind of conditions they are finding there self now it's a terrible one so for sure Madrid have a better shot of winning.

And both the defence of Manchester City and there attackers are very weak so there is no chance for them to actually win this game.

This would be a very interesting football game, both teams aren’t going in there game for this season, they both have not been very lucky with injuries lately, but I feel this game wouldn’t just be as exciting as the other two seasons that they have faced each others which was a very strong and exciting game. Pep Guardiola made some exciting moves by sighing some attacking players but I feel he should have signed a good defender. Because the team has a very poor defensive system line. Playing Nunes as Right back against Arsenal wasn’t a very good move. Vinicius would be all over the pitch on the left wing, and the midfield is so poor as well. Madrid has a good depth in attack and midfield but they also have their own share of problems defensively. I think this game would be won in defense any of the team that can have a good defensive line stands the chance of taking the advantage in this game. And Ancellotti saying whoever that wins the ties would be champion I think it’s not true. He is disrespecting other teams in the league. Guardiola would just be ready for the champions league game. But his team will find it difficult to breakdown Real Madrid.

Brest vs PSG

PSG have won four of their  last five matches against Brest and drawn one. Even in Brest's home match a few days ago, PSG won by a big margin of 5-2. however, the match  was very competitive and Brest played very well. I don't think it will be very difficult for PSG to win today's match. Luis Enrique knows Brest's weaknesses very well. However brest will probably try to draw the match by playing defensively today. If Brest scores the first goal in this  match, it will be difficult for PSG to make a comeback in the match.

Yeah, obviously, the knockout punch has been pop and we don't know who will win... I am super excited about the match between Manchester city and real Madrid. This match is very important for because one heavyweight will be eliminated from the competition, whether it's Real Madrid or Manchester city. Stats-wise, both look good recently both of them are just doing good. But H2H record of man city are little bit better than Madrid in Etihad and if they manage their team well maybe they can slightly knock the out.

Besides that, if we look at the squad depth, both teams have some lackness in their defense line. Manchester city sells some of their players, like Walker despite real Madrid all first-choice players getting injured; they are no longer available for tonight's match. This point may cause some concern about real Madrid defense becuse if Manchester city makes their typical attack attempt then maybe they can win the match. Otherwise, Real Madrid is the favorite to win.

My prediction for the match is 3-2 for Real Madrid…

[fuguebtc]

I am looking forward to  this match. I do not like Juventus' performance this season. I am very annoyed to see the defensive gameplay of this team. Juventus' attack is very weak. And in today's  match against PSV, it can  be assumed that juventus will play defensively.

However, I would not call PSV a weak team. juventus players have scored only 9 goals in  8 matches in the Champions League. On the other hand  PSV players have managed  to score 16 goals. Even if juventus plays defensively in today's match, PSV will probably play their usual strategy. I have seen psv play attackingly  most of the time. I will be happy if PSV wins. However the match is more  likely to be a draw

PSG defeated Brest by five goals the previous time they played in a league game. PSG was on top of the league when they destroyed Brest by five goals, and we cannot consider it a lucky win because PSG is in better shape with great players. If we compare that to today's match, which PSG must win to advance to the Champions League round of 16, it is clear that they will defeat Brest in the first leg; even though playing in the same league, Brest is not strong enough club to be a threat to PSG.

Furthermore, if we look at the last game of both clubs, both teams won four of their previous five league games, and Brest has ten league defeats while PSG has none. How can someone consider that lucky? PSG won the game because they deserved it, and I am confident they can repeat how well they performed destroying Brest and winning comfortably.

PSG have won four of their  last five matches against Brest and drawn one. Even in Brest's home match a few days ago, PSG won by a big margin of 5-2. however, the match  was very competitive and Brest played very well.

If Brest scores the first goal in this  match, it will be difficult for PSG to make a comeback in the match.

We should prepare our mind because the ratio of winning games for these elite teams is under probability. PSG will continue to smashed opponents, they're popularly known for thrashing average teams but they ghost when it they come in contact with big teams. Who's sitting at home watching the UCL games tonight? I'm not missing actions tonight because it's all consider an important features. The UEFA Champions is tonight, the game already kick off. Ofcourse we expect Les Parisiens to dominate and assemble three points as usual. PSG are prioritized on winning games and they're not hitting any obstacles, always pushing through towards. Paris Saint-Germain are definitely going to match the odds of beating Brest at home.
