........
Ac Milan should definitely get a win, I want to see Liverpool being hammered so hard by  Ac Milan. Already. Lol..

The problem is if we look at how AC Milan's performance in Serie A at the beginning of this season was not too smooth. They are still not that consistent. Yes, although Liverpool is also like that, especially after being defeated by a small club in the EPL. Hopefully that doesn't further their mentality.

Now we will see how Moh Salah vs Rafael Leão squad on the first matchday which I think is the match that will be the most exciting match.

Just because of the lose Liverpool recorded against Nottingham Forest does not mean that they’re been inconsistent this season. It’s okay to lose a match not losing consecutively is not what is acceptable by any club’s management. Liverpool only lost a match in the premier league, it doesn’t mean they’ll lose their match in the champions league as well even if they’re going to be playing against a more superior team than Nottingham Forest in the champions league. Both teams are good and the match is going to be hard to decide at this point. It is better to remain neutral on this type of matches because both team la even have enough experience in the champions league and they won’t take it easy on each other before we get to see who wins the match at the end of the day. I’m looking forward to this match, because of how entertaining I’m envisioning it to be.

I agree, of course that loss was a total mess and everyone in the club and outside the club knows it. I am sure that literally nobody put a bet on Nottingham Forest in that game. The chances that Liverpool would give away those three points were zero, but as you can see only because a club has a small name doesn't mean that they can't play any football at all. Opponents have to be taken seriously and you could see that. But usually an event like this happens once or at maximum twice in a season. It's not going to happen again I believe.

Whatever it is that happened in that game, just like the Liverpool fans, their players may have underestimated Nottingham Forest. Generally, the loss came to  Liverpool as a surprise. However, it's not meant to be the foundation of judgement for their game against Ac Milan, I presume the Liverpool team will buckle up and play a better football. I wouldn't want to predict the outcome of such a competitive game, but from the previous performance of both teams it'll appear to end as a draw.

Maybe one of the reasons for Liverpool's defeat is that they wanted to prepare for the Champions League match. The Champions League is more important and Nottingham was an opponent they did not see as strong. They must have thought that they could beat them in any way and underestimated them. But you shouldn't do that. You should take every opponent seriously, both in the league and in the Champions League. This defeat could even cost Liverpool the championship at the end of the year.

You are making a very good point and I have also thought of it. It is better that they give up the match to Nottingham and win Milan than playing to win Nottingham and the players will play in fatigue against Milan which might end up to their defeat.

As a good coach there are some match that you need not to worry about because losing it will not affect the club compare to losing a very important match. Any coach that does not understand this and want to make sure that his team wins all their matches might end up being defeated in an important match.

The funny thing is, Liverpool can as well loose to AC Milan tomorrow, so for me that argument of preparing ahead of time for a champion league game and losing to a lesser team in your domestic league doesn't hold water for me, pep Guardiola takes every competition seriously, for him every match count's, so he doesn't handle games with kid gloves, and that's the kind of mindset the Liverpool coach should be imbibing in his players as it helps your players to build a winning mindset. Is even good to say you had a win in your domestic league game and maybe fight for draw or a win for the first group game of the champions league since your meeting a strong opponent.

But you shouldn't do that. You should take every opponent seriously, both in the league and in the Champions League. This defeat could even cost Liverpool the championship at the end of the year.

Liverpool defeat was more than just preparing for the champions league because their key players were on the pitch not on bench. So many errors from on play resulted to their defeat at Anfield. Salah as their key player in most cases was responsible for their greatness and downfall at the same time. They could have won that game if he wasn't selfish and stingy with passes.

On a two clear occasions, they will score if he had passed to his teammates instead of aiming for the goal. The couch too made his mistakes with substitution but I don't blame him too much since Liverpool lack squad depth. Salah, Trent and Szobo could have been subbed out but unfortunately there was no one to replace them. I forseen it from their first half performance hoping to see game change in the second half but nothing change. Let see what happens tomorrow when they face AC Milan.

Liverpool does not have luck in the game because they perform well, but they do not have the opportunity to score a goal, and all of the defenders move outside, while Nottingham Forest gets one chance and scores a goal, and all of the players begin defending, and Liverpool does not have the opportunity to break through their box. Forest did their best and earned three points at Anfield. Let's see how they play against Ac Milla tomorrow, but I believe Liverpool can win the match if they perform well because they are the favorites, but Ac Milla are good in the UCL because they play the competition more than Liverpool. The new coach loses their first Premier League game, no one believe that Liverpool will lose in that match,If he can win his match against Milla in the UCL. Manchester City must lose or draw in order for Liverpool to challenge them again and compete in the league table however, if Guadiola does not lose a match, Liverpool can't compete anymore and no league for them.

Nice analysis bro, but as a coach your first priority is to always win matches, even though we all know it isn't 100 percent possible. If I'm a coach, my mentality is to know that no team is small and every game is important, win the game at hand first before thinking of the next one.

The problem is if we look at how AC Milan's performance in Serie A at the beginning of this season was not too smooth. They are still not that consistent. Yes, although Liverpool is also like that, especially after being defeated by a small club in the EPL. Hopefully that doesn't further their mentality.

"In the last 7 matches, AC Milan Win 1, Draw 1, Lose 5; Liverpool Win 5, Draw 1, Lose 1", do you think this is quite useful before making an analysis?

Milan tends to lose when they meet Liverpool in their last 7 matches. Liverpool dominated the results with 5 wins in all competitions against Milan, so it is very risky to bet on Milan winning this time in my opinion. Even if Milan plays at home, it doesn't mean much because Liverpool holds a good head-to-head record. So I think the probability of Liverpool winning is higher than Milan, but a draw might be considered.

That's  the strategy brow.... nobody/fans gives a f*ck either the team performed well or not they just want a win and if they can't  they failed no matter how they tried. The opponent saw the chance and took it while they wasted theirs besides I don't see so much good performance in their last game, the number one rule of a team to success is communication  and if a team tends to ignore it then they're pretty out  for that game and that's  what seem to be killing them for now

What is expected of Milan right now?
We actually know how their performance in the last few matches even in the domestic competition they did in the last 4 matches they only managed to get 1 win, which of course this proves that the situation in Milan is much worse than Liverpool.

Although in the end the domestic competition is different from the competition in the Champions League but in the end this can be a benchmark where in domestic competitions with opponents who are actually a little easier than them are still very inconvenient especially when talking about the Champions League and Liverpool are currently still in pretty good form even though they in this week's match did not go smoothly because they had to lose unexpectedly but that did not make Liverpool drop from probability because they are still the favourites in this match.

Now we will see how Moh Salah vs Rafael Leão squad on the first matchday which I think is the match that will be the most exciting match.

AC Milan's performance is not consistent this season, they are not in good form this season because they only win one match this season since the start of the new season, they are currently seated in the 10th position on the Seria A table.
Liverpool on the other hand have a very good start this season under Arne Slot, they won their first three match and they unfortunately lost their last match against Nottingham Forest.

I don't think AC Milan at this current form will be able to defeat the current Liverpool squad, Liverpool will approach the match with the anger of their last match which will help them to win the match easily as Milan is not also in good form.

Ac Milan should definitely get a win, I want to see Liverpool being hammered so hard by  Ac Milan. Already. Lol..

Expecting Milan to win in the first match I think this is a difficult mission in their current condition which is still not too good in terms of consistency.

Indeed, in terms of performance on the field, especially for the quality of Milan's attacks, it is actually still quite good, but when talking about mistakes in defense that are sometimes not solid in the last few matches they have done, to be honest, to face Liverpool with a fast EPL style of play it will definitely be very difficult to do.
Liverpool have a much bigger chance in this match but it is possible that there will be a surprise in Milan's home match even though it is a difficult situation to happen because I feel Milan's chance is a draw is the best for their first match in the opening match of the Champions League.

The stat you’ve brought up to compare the two teams can be very interesting to view but that does not mean we will be seeing something similar to that when they meet again in the champions league this season. The match is very important for both teams and I fell they will both out in their best not minding what was the previous results of their head-to-head match in the past.

I have full confidence in AC Milan just like I have for Liverpool. It all depends on each individual team’s performance that will make us see the outcome of this match. I don’t think they’ve both started the season on a very poor grounds, they can step up from here to win a lot in this season. I’m waiting to see how things turn out for both of them in this match this week.

If not that Real Madrid have dominated the champions league such that every other team is hardly seen in the picture of having the possibility to win the champions game, Manchester City is one club that is equal to the capacity of Real Madrid both in their squad and performance but since they haven't really won the title more than once makes it difficult to just put them at the front of every other team but the odd they are giving by bookmakers is a very fair odd for a team like Manchester City because if Real Madrid drops out of winning the league, the other team we can think of taking over is Manchester City based on current performance but if it's by history then Liverpool would have been considered.
             Even though Arsenal has lesser odds than Bayern Munich but I still feel that Bayern Munich is better than Arsenal in the champions league and they proved it last season even though the strength of the both teams looks a bit equal but when we compare their performance in the champions league last season, Bayern Munich is stronger but let's see how it goes again this season if Arsenal can realize themselves and do more better than they did last season.

Manchester City is certainly set up to win the Champions League again and in my opinion, the games they lost against Real Madrid in the last few years, they have never been the inferior team, but Real Madrid got luck on their side and scored some goals that won't happen every single time. Though what the opponents did very well against Manchester City especially in the knock out games was to take Haaland out of the game. He wasn't very successful in the final rounds of the Champions League. I can imagine that this time they might have a different plan, but in general I see Manchester City being a bit ahead of Real Madrid in terms of the quality of the teams. But it will also depend on whether or not Mbappe will be able to show his best. That would be an amazing showdown between him and Haaland.

It's a big game tomorrow between Liverpool; and AC Millina no doubt. I still kind of find it difficult to pick a winning side here. Looking at Liverpool's performance in the just concluded match in the premier league against Nottingham Forest. Truly I wasn't impressed with their performance at all. They lost good opportunities to score and if they end up taking such a leg into the UCL I must say that AC Millina would win them. Let's not forget how good AC Millian had played in the just concluded Champions League last season and the season before. If they are still under the same pressure I doubt that Liverpool will have a peaceful win over them.

About Aston Villa so far is better than Young Boys, it would be better for both teams to score than Aston Villa win, this is your choice then you are free to do it.
My time is only focused on the big clubs that will be bet on.

Aston villa vs Young boys is a critical game that I won't want to make conclusion on in a hurry. Juxtaposing the two teams, one has the champions league experience than the other and that's a good advantage for them. Aston villa may be looking good t home in their domestic league games but may not give out same performance when they go out to Europe that why in few cases I don't normally judge how well  some of these clubs that are not regular in the champions league will perform base on their domestic league performance. I am thinking Young boys will win this game.

AC Milan didn't get off to a very good start to the season, with their performances consistently disappointing. Following them in the position they currently occupy in Serie A suggests they are imperfect. Similarly, in EPL Liverpool and smaller teams have lost together, and their game performance was not that exciting which is why they lost. But it can be expected that Liverpool vs AC Milan is going to be a much more interesting game between these two teams, both teams will fight with excitement, I think Liverpool have more hope to win here.

I better avoid betting on clubs that I think are doubtful even though Aston Villa is a Premier League club but its performance cannot be said to be good in a big competition like this, last season Aston Villa also did not perform well in the European conference league even though Aston Villa looked the strongest club there and many had high expectations considering Aston Villa's impressive performance in the Premier League so in this match it also seems quite difficult for him to beat a club like Young Boys who is more experienced in the UCL.

For the UCL match I have my own options for betting and I think this is a pretty good choice but also a bit risky especially the Bayern Munich match where I chose to bet on Handicap hopefully Bayern will score at least 5 goals in this match.

[samuraijin]

Here we go again!!!! UCL is coming back with new face!!

We're going to see two opening matches of UCL.

1. Juventus vs PSV

2. Young Boys vs Villa

I also provides the odds for those matches below.



This is my bet



Although i pick Juventus to win the game against PSV, but i consider this as a very risky decision. Juventus has been so poor in their recent games. Their attackers are completely losing their sharpness. They have terrible build up, and defence. But i bet on their superiority over PSV.

For the game YB vs Villa, i have nothing to complaints about. That's very obvious villa gonna win it.

What do you guys think?

Juventus are actually not too bad with matches in Serie A that are almost the same as Inter Milan who have 8 points but when it comes to Champions League matches maybe it will be a little different that we know.

Because I don't want to take a bigger risk, I won't choose Juventus as a bet this time, because there are some good opportunities even though the odds are below @1.50 but it's confident enough for me to do it.

About Aston Villa so far is better than Young Boys, it would be better for both teams to score than Aston Villa win, this is your choice then you are free to do it.
My time is only focused on the big clubs that will be bet on.

In the Domestic League Juventus found a deadlock in yesterday's match with a draw against Empoli, proving how difficult it is for them to get goals. The city knows that Juventus has a great desire in the European League but for the first time they play again in the Champions League makes me doubt the squad coached by Thiago Motta who until now has not confirmed the right players for the important match, that he knows that his players still need to adapt to get chemistry from all lines especially their midfield, there is a lot of homework in the Juventus midfield which makes their attackers have difficulty creating goals in important matches.

[AprilioMP]

"In the last 7 matches, AC Milan Win 1, Draw 1, Lose 5; Liverpool Win 5, Draw 1, Lose 1", do you think this is quite useful before making an analysis?

Milan tends to lose when they meet Liverpool in their last 7 matches. Liverpool dominated the results with 5 wins in all competitions against Milan, so it is very risky to bet on Milan winning this time in my opinion. Even if Milan plays at home, it doesn't mean much because Liverpool holds a good head-to-head record. So I think the probability of Liverpool winning is higher than Milan, but a draw might be considered.

AC Milan to win the match against Liverpool will certainly be difficult because AC Milan's current strength is not the same as AC Milan's strength when they were still reinforced by players who have now retired.

AC Milan's statistics when they met Liverpool in the last 7 times can be an initial reference for why we need to doubt AC Milan to win. In fact, Liverpool have recently recorded satisfactory results even though they lost their last match in the domestic league.
Liverpool are still very consistent even though their squad has been filled by a new generation after the generation that made their name in the UCL has ended.
I predict that Liverpool's chances of getting points are greater than AC Milan's chances of winning.

Juventus vs PSV is still an interesting match for me to watch @1.81 not too bad to bet on, yes as entertainment while waiting for the first Big match Milan vs Liverpool. It is very unfortunate that Madrid vs Stuttgart takes place at the same time which makes me have to monitor both matches so as not to miss. Aston Villa looks like they can start the match with a win, hopefully betting on Aston Villa can bring good luck.

My prediction is that Milan and Liverpool will end fiercely, Arne Slot could be surprised by Milan's tough and strong game but if Mo Salah and Diaz are on fire it might be a plus point to control attacks from 2 directions. And for Madrid it seems that it will not be easy to beat Stuttgart Madrid's situation is still not entirely promising especially since Brahim Diaz is certain to be absent, even though as a supersub he is still more effective when given the position occupied by Rodrygo.

What do you guys think?

As you said that Juventus current attack line is unlikely to be expected to score more and on the one hand PSV has a more stable squad. From a strong attack line and a very consistent defense. So for me in this match even though Juventus will be the host, it is still very difficult to get a win.
Maybe I will bet on under 2.75 with odds @1.72 or maybe BTTS (No). However, Juventus defense looks better than the attack line.

And for the Young Boys vs Aston Villa match I have the same prediction as everyone here that Aston Villa has no problem whatsoever to beat YB. Because YB currently also has a little problem with some important players who are experiencing injury problems. For that match I will probably take a bet on Aston Villa winning -0.75 or -1 with bigger odds.

[BALIK]

My prediction is that Milan and Liverpool will end fiercely, Arne Slot could be surprised by Milan's tough and strong game but if Mo Salah and Diaz are on fire it might be a plus point to control attacks from 2 directions.

Can AC Milan win against Liverpool? I had high expectations for AC Milan's squad this season. But this team's performance has disappointed me in every match. They lost points in the first three matches. And in these three matches, Milan lost points due to poor defense. However, in the last match, Milan got a fantastic 4-0 win against Venezia. However, it cannot be said for sure if Milan's performance is still stable.

Liverpool on the other hand is a very strong team. And Liverpool players are in very good form this season too. Liverpool's performance is now very strong with the help of new coach Arne Slott. So in this match I think the Liverpool team is the favorite.

And for Madrid it seems that it will not be easy to beat Stuttgart Madrid's situation is still not entirely promising especially since Brahim Diaz is certain to be absent, even though as a supersub he is still more effective when given the position occupied by Rodrygo.

Real Madrid is the most experienced team in the Champions League. Stuttgart, on the other hand, is not very experienced. But this team of Bundesliga is strong. So if Real Madrid make any mistake in this match they are likely to lose points. Real Madrid will likely have Bellingham in the squad for this match. Also we have seen good performances from Mbappe and Vini in the last few matches. So Madrid team can be considered favorites against Stuttgart.
