UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

AC Milan and Liverpool are both strong teams. But we know that Milan team is not in good form at the moment. In Serie A we saw Milan's performance. If this performance does not improve, Milan have no chance of winning against Liverpool. Because the Liverpool team is in a very strong position this season. And I think Arne Slot will try his hardest this season to win the Champions League title.

I checked the results of the match between Milan and Liverpool. These two teams have met 5 times in the last 10 years. The interesting thing is that the Liverpool team has won all 5 matches. AC Milan could not win a single match or draw. Therefore, considering all aspects, the Liverpool team should be kept ahead in this match. Barring an accident, Liverpool will win against Milan.

AC Milan did not impressive in several Serie-A matches for this season but they are not team that can be underestimated, AC Milan performance could have been much better for their first UCL match later against Liverpool and for this match AC Milan also playing at home so it is too early to say they will lose to Liverpool.
We all know Liverpool are in pretty good shape, but we also have to see and consider that AC Milan is one of the strongest Serie-A team, they also have some advantages in this first match so we can judge it based on all the statistics available.
But it is indeed difficult to determine who will win, it just that Liverpool will not be easy to win in this match, even if they win maybe by small score difference, it is possible that they will end in draw and share points.

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?

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.

Good analysis but as usual, we are now in Champions League, a competition where a team can show something quite different than what a team show in the local league.
Still, what we see on the local league is important things to consider because it will be the first match on the new Champions League.
BTTS (No) has a good odds but I think a bit risky especially is PSV can score a goal first which will make Juventus fight stronger to score goal too.
I'd prefer to skip today's Champions League matches, I'll just watch the match only without betting because it is still hard for me to analyze the situation.

I don't think so exactly honestly. Because if you have noticed so far, top Premier League teams are prioritizing the league title over the Champions League one. This was why Arsenal also couldn't meet the expectations completely in the previous season. I think it was just a bad day for Liverpool. Sometimes you don't manage to win no matter how hard you try...

Anyways, the first game for Liverpool is against Milan. It is at San Siro. What is your opinion?    I think Liverpool will start with a victory. Milan won their last league game but still it doesn't change the fact that they are unbalanced these days.

If Arsenal prioritized the the Premier League Competition over that Champions League Competition last season, then, Mikel Arteta shouldn't have gone all out in trying to beat Bayern Munich. He did that and lost both the Champions League game and also the next fixture they had against Aston Villa. In my opinion, he didn't play his chess well towards winning the Premier League Competition. They played but wasn't clinical when finishing.
Liverpool and Ac Milan are big rivals in the Champions League Competition, if the recent players do not remember, then the fan would definitely remind them to take this game like the Champions League finals. Tougher than anyone would expect, I can say Liverpool would win or Ac Milan. Maybe Ac Milan!

Based on the betting exchange Liverpool is more favored than the home team, Milan is not really a favorite in this match. in fact I rarely watch Serie A teams compete, so I have limited knowledge of Serie A teams. talking about AC Milan, seeing their performance is not convincing in their Domestic League, it would be very natural if Liverpool were more favored. at least, Liverpool performed quite well in their domestic competition even though they lost narrowly to Forest in last week's match. to be honest, I want to know AC Milan's playing style under Fonseca, so at least I know a little bit about their playing style. although Milan is advantaged playing at home, Sansiro, Liverpool is a tough opponent. moreover, Liverpool also has a proven mentality in the Champions League. referring to the H2H meeting of these two teams, Milan always has difficulty defeating Liverpool, whether at home or away. so, this match will be very meaningful for both coaches of the teams that will compete. on Fonseca's side, of course he wants to win at Sansiro and break Liverpool. on the other hand Arne Slot will do the same thing, he does not want his team to lose in this match even though it is an away match. my guess is, there will not be many goals in this match. more specifically less than 3 goals. it could be, the match ends in a draw or a narrow victory for Liverpool.

Arsenal lose so many players: Zinchenko, Saka, Odegaard, Merino, Calafiori, and Tomiyasu, if Arsenal will play without them, I doubt they will able to beat Atalanta. These players are very important for Arsenal especially Saka, without him, Arsenal is rarely to score a goal.

As for Liverpool vs Milan, both of them have a chance, anything can happen. However I expect both of them won't score many goals.

Saka and Calafiori are questionable, so there is a chance that they will be able to recover for the match with Atalanta. And Arsenal plays much more consistently, their game is not as good but still it is better than the ups and downs that Atalanta has, like losing 4-0 to Inter. These teams are focused on attacking football, so you can expect a lot of goals, but I remember how Arsenal played in the Champions League, it seemed like it was a completely different team, Arsenal in the Premier League in the Champions League stood out for its scoring.

The Champions League Competition Kicks Off In The Next Few Days. What are your predictions and thoughts for the above games. Whenever making predictions, do not forget to pay close attention to Injured and absent players from the squad.... These are the couple few I've got in mind;
Tough call between Atletico Madrid and Leipzig, game should end as a draw. Atalanta against Arsenal also would be interesting, we'll get to see Ademola Lookman, showcase what he's gott, he has been brilliant for them lately. I'm banking on gunners to either win or draw the game. Monaco might also be inna good form but Barcelona in the Champions League Competition? You don't even want to debate it. Hansi Flick would want to wrap things up immediately.
Paris winning again Girona
Both sides to score against themselves between Manchester City and Inter Milan. I won't be boggled.
Ac Milan should definitely get a win, I want to see Liverpool being hammered so hard by  Ac Milan. Already. Lol..

Of course, I am very happy because soon we will witness a prestigious match because strong teams from all Domestic Leagues will compete fiercely to win the title.

Of course, for me personally, the upcoming UCL match will be very confusing because sometimes the performance of all teams is very difficult to predict, but for the Leipzig match against Atletico Madrid, I also predict that the match will end in a draw. . but if Atalanta's match is against Arsenal, I predict Arsenal will win, but of course it won't be easy for Arsenal because Atalanta has great players and one of the popular and great players is Ademola Lookman and I predict 2-1 for Arsenal to win.

for Barcelona in the next match I am optimistic that Barcelona will win and I predict that Yamal and Olmo will play with their best performance and I see Barcelona's performance is better than Monaco because Monaco is currently in the standings while in Ligue 1 they are in 3st place but Barcelona is in 1st place in the standings, so that's the simple reason I predict that Barcelona will win that match. If I predict Girona's match against Paris, Girona will win, but in the Manchester City match against Inter Milan, I'm sure Haaland and his friends will be able to beat Inter Milan, but what is certain is that in that match, I'm sure there will be fierce competition and it will definitely be very exciting. If I see Liverpool will win the match against AC Milan and I'm sure Arne Slot will be able to make a good strategy in that match.

The match of the night is Milan - Liverpool, this match should be watched, I have no doubt it will be a good match.
I think Liverpool is the favorite. They will probably win tonight.
They lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at home in the Premier League on Saturday, they will gain morale by winning this match.

Arsenal faces Atalanta and not just that, they've tougher games to play. This is probably moment players developed fatigue and most of them gets sidelined for months. Gunners are now consider competitive contenders for the English Premier League and also in the UEFA Champions League. Every oppositions meeting Arsenal takes measures to avoid defeats. Saka and Calafiori are both consider key players for the club, injury hitting the club really hard and this time, Mikel Arteta will be extremely careful not to jeopardize the team's form. I admired the style of Arsenal this season, been able to deliver their best in consecutive forms back to back. Mikel Arteta instructs the players to always be serious on the pitch.

I think that Liverpool will be able to win this match against Milan. Liverpool will have the strongest attack in this match as they have lost against weaker teams in the Premier League and their morale will definitely change in this match. Moreover, I have chosen Liverpool as the favorite in today's match, they will definitely attack Milan and win the match.

AC Milan and Liverpool are going to meet in the Champions League and we expect an interesting game between these two teams. However, between these two teams in the EPL, Liverpool is much stronger, if they can come up with their best performances. On the other hand, AC Milan is a good team from Serie A, although they are currently not playing well following a very good performance. However, how well these two teams can play in the Champions League depends on their performance, but I think Liverpool is more likely to win. Betting on Liverpool can be expected to win even though both teams are quite strong with Liverpool being one of them.

It's hard to predict this. But the odds above make me think Liverpool could win, but by a narrow margin. However, it totally depends on what kind of lineup is gonna be used by Liverpool soon. I meant since Italian teams are very tactical in their approach, and i think they need Nunez to start. His unpredictability in attack may help them. Though this is kinda risky, it's not that bad to start him.

I just checked Milan fans. They are confident in their wingers, specifically. Especially Leao. They think Leao can beat Trent, and i think it's unlikely to happen 'cause Trent is one of the best RBs. I reckon Leao vs Trent is going to be quite the showdown.

The positive thing is that Milan's defence is a bit shaky. It can be seen from their recent games in Serie A. This is why i think we can beat them in an away game. All in all, i predict we're gonna beat them 1-0.

Arsenal is in a better position against Atalanta. Atalanta's important striker Scamacca is injured for a long time. Therefore, he will not be able to play in any Champions League matches. Arsenal can take advantage by taking advantage of the opportunities they have. There may be compensation in the Premier League, but it will be very difficult to compensate in the Champions League. I expect Arsenal to win this match.

If you look at the league game, then I am more confident that Liverpool can bring home at least 1 point. AC Milan's level of play is still unstable, it seems that Milan is still adapting to the new coach. Paulo Fonseca is still in a hurry to maximize the potential of his players.
But I know, the ball is always unpredictable. I also believe Milan is capable of making a surprise for Liverpool. Milan has the advantage of playing at home. They should be able to take advantage of this moment to add to the fighting mentality of their players. Milan had to work hard and perform perfectly to get 3 points.

I want to see Chiesa on the field as a starter, Arne Slot must have given him enough time. Chiesa presence is very much needed in this match, whether played in the first or second half, it is still suitable because that way Arne Slot can maintain the balance in pressing Milan. The defeat to Nottingham Forest is something that can still be separated, Arne Slot must have evaluated his mistakes. We are on the right track to get the first 3 points. If we have to refer to Domestic League performance, Milan should be worried because they have only been able to win 1x from the first 4 matches in Serie A.

The Champions League is a very different tournament. Even teams that are not successful in their own league compete very well because they know they can show themselves here. A good example of this is Young Boys. Although they played very badly in their own league, they managed to beat Galatasaray, who are stronger than them, in both matches. That's why there is no such thing as a favorite in Champions League matches. We remember surprise defeats in previous years. Besides, Milan and Liverpool are both strong teams. Both teams can win this match. If Arne Slot analyzed Milan well, he can make moves that will win the match.

A game full of intense competition and challenging will take place in just a few hours with Real Madrid vs Stuttgart. In this game, there is a big difference between the squad of Real Madrid team and the squad of the opposite team Stuttgart team. But in this match I can guess that Real Madrid will definitely win this match, because Real Madrid team has Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, Rodrigo in attack department and opposite team Stuttgart team does not have such experienced players in attack department.
And the chances of Real Madrid winning the first match of this season's UEFA Champions League are very high. But we should not be proud of the football game as the result is very likely to change at any time, so we have to wait until the game is over to see which team can win.

In fact, it is not like what you said, the Champions League is the most prestigious league in European competition, every club that qualifies there will try to compete with other clubs to win the title. If that is true, have you ever seen Areta field a line up containing reserve players last season when they played in the Champions League?
Arsenal failure in the Champions League is not because they did not prioritize the UCL trophy, but because they lost the competition with other clubs. That's the fact.

Its my favorite UEFA Champion League for watching today although have several other interested matches, the defend UEFA Champion League winner Real Madrid have motivate keep continue positive result on the opening match because new format have difficulty get qualify to knock out round exactly only top eight position teams are directly qualify. Real Madrid have good capital for facing VfB Stuttgart after impressive performance in domestic league and have two consecutives winning.

VfB Stuttgart have bad start in Bundesliga this season after success reaching second standings place last season can't defend their impressive performance in this season. Stuttgart have played three matches in domestic league with one loss, one draw and one winning match at last week. I don't think its enough capital for facing Real Madrid have much experience when playing in Champion League and my prediction Madrid easily to score above two until three goals tonight.

We hope our support team can win over AC Milan even though we are aware that this match is very tough. We are happy if the bookies make Liverpool the favorite team because they realize that Liverpool's performance is still above AC Milan.
The defeat to Nottingham Forest is a stepping stone that can ignite the spirit of the players that victory in Italy against Milan must be a priority to maintain the opportunity to survive in the UCL with a new format like the league.

Losing to Nottingham Forest at Anfield is painful but from that defeat at least it can be an evaluation to improve where the shortcomings need to be fixed, especially the finishing of the front players.

It is very wrong if someone says that the club prioritizes domestic competition over the champions league in my opinion that is very wrong. All teams and even individuals always want the Champions League trophy because of its prestigious value in Europe. It must be admitted that it is not easy for every team to win the trophy so that some elite teams always build the best squad to achieve that goal.
