UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Pandorak]

AC Milan have an opportunity to get their first win of their Champions League campaign this season when they face Bayern Leverkusen next, hopefully they can get redemption for their lose to Liverpool in their first fixture to move up the table or else face difficult getting points to secure their promotion to the next stage of the tournament. [...]

Every team definitely has a chance to win, but from the odds picture you provided, it seems like we all have doubts that AC Milan can get their first Champions League win. Bayer Leverkusen is a strong team & they will also be playing a home game, so it will be difficult for AC Milan to get what they want this time.

There are still many opportunities for Atalanta to advance to the last 16 because there are still seven more matches to gain points before going to the next round and of the seven matches that Atalanta will face, the toughest are probably only when they face Real Madrid and Barcelona. In addition, there are no opponents who can make it difficult for Atalanta to get full points in this round because apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, I think the other five teams that Atalanta will face are fairly easy teams for them.

Currently each team has only played 1 match. I think we can't measure the performance of each team because there are still 7 matches. But if we look at the next opponent I agree with you. Atalanta has a chance to qualify for the round of 16 by being in the top 8 in the standings. But there are many other strong teams who will compete for the top 8 positions to qualify for the round of 16 and this is a challenge for Atalanta. So far only Real Madrid and Barcelona are their toughest opponents. But if we talk about Atalanta's chances of qualifying for the next round through the play-offs I am sure they can get it.

I think both home teams are clear favourites, possibly the odds for Milan to win and for PSG to win are quite generous. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of those games is a draw. Leverkusen do concede goals, their last minute winners will not continue forever, logic says so.

Arsenal have no real pedigree in the CL so maybe PSG have a surprise for them, although no Mbappe has lessened their attacking threat.

However, I would doubt Milan and PSG will win in the away match, if a draw is possible in this match, still some bettors will choose the favorite team.

A last minute win for Leverkusen won't last forever but Xabi Alonso always knows when they are a goal down, so even the last chance can be a win for them which is what Leverkusen have under Xabi Alonso.

Arsenal look strong in the Premier League, but when it comes to the Champions League they still struggle to win, is it because they don't have the UCL mentality?

So far AC Milan's performance has been inconsistent in their domestic league and in the UCL they were humiliated by Liverpool at home, although we agree that every team that competes has a chance, we also have to look at the team that will be faced in this second match, Milan will visit Leverkusen's home, of course Xabi Alonso's team is not an opponent that can be defeated easily. I agree that the chance feels small for Fonseca's squad, I will not expect much from Milan in this match.

Seeing that Milan have had good wins in their recent games where they even won their Milan derby, it's a good reason to believe that they are going to be in their best form and have their confidence intact, so taking on Leverkusen wouldn't be such a game that they will not have the ability to play confidently, my fears are with Leverkusen actually as they don't exhibit that stability and confidence recently, their game are beginning to look like they are loosing their form but I hope they get rhe spirit of champions League knowing how competitive the game they will be playing is and give their very best.

In my opinion, Milan won the derby only because Inter are going through a moment of out of physical form. His players are very tired as I saw, and therefore the quality of the game suffers greatly as well as the results.
Honestly, a perfectly trained team like Inter has no reason to play badly other than tiredness.

AC Milan performance is very inconsistent and it will be difficult for us to gauge whether they are able to win the next match against Leverkusen. Like their first defeat against Liverpool, then in Serie A they performed impressively by defeating Inter who previously Inter were able to withstand dangerous aggression from Manchester City. Now AC Milan are faced with a challenge that is not easy, Leverkusen do not have experience in the Champions League with the current squad but seeing the success in the first match indicates that Leverkusen do not need to adapt in the Champions League.

In the end, that makes me not take too much risk betting on the Leverkusen vs AC Milan match.

Player fatigue is a challenge for big teams in Europe with a fairly short break in the match. it causes some players to experience fitness problems as well as being very susceptible to injury.
I will not see the derby match as Milan's luck. but in fact, Milan worked hard and managed to win it. they were more prepared for the match and they won.
unlike the UCL match when facing Liverpool, they couldn't do much and had to accept defeat. but we'll see how their second match will go against Leverkusen. clearly not an easy match for Milan either, but they have to give their best.

Milan is not like Feyenoord so the possibility of winning the home game still has to be considered. As long as both teams have time in a match, both have a chance to score goals and win the match regardless of which home ground they play at.

Milan is also a strong team with many quality players, so I would not underestimate Milan and its chances of winning. Milan's defeat against Liverpool in the first match can be considered normal, of course the quality and depth of the squads of the two teams are different and Milan has a bad record against Liverpool. Moreover, Leverkusen and Milan have never met on the Champions League stage, so perhaps there is a different atmosphere that affects Leverkusen's performance or Milan.

Every team has played one of their games in the Champions League this season, as well as Milan who previously failed to pick up the first point from Liverpool because Milan had a poor game and performance in the match, so it is difficult for us to say  them have big chance to qualify for the next round of this season, Milan has just got their first win in the league over Inter Milan, but I don't think that guarantees they will be able to Beating Leverkusen in the Champions League later, Leverkusen is not a team we ever known before because in the last few seasons their performance has improved dramatically, although they were not able to maintain an unbeaten record this season but I think it does not show that there is a chance for Milan to get points over Leverkusen in the the match.

For displaying a black flag with the words “Flick Heil” written on it UEFA has banned Barcelona from selling tickets to fans for a Champions League game. The fans meant no harm since the flag was a tribute to thier German coach Hansi Flick. Barca will have to play their UCL match against Crvena Zvezda in November 6th without fans.

I was wondering if this sanction is justified since the fans was actually celebrating the coach. However it seem UEFA has zero tolerance for any racist or any discriminatory conduct.

Judging from their previous performance in their last matches in UCL, Leverkusen might be able to win Milan because I see the zeal and passion in the players to win their matches and advance to the round of 16. If because Milan was able to win Inter in their last derby match doesn't mean that it will play out the same way in Bay Arena because Leverkusen also won their last Bundesliga match.

It will be a big challenge for Milan to and and win away from home especially this time that they are trying to pick form. If it was last season, it might be possible. I feel that this match is an unpredictable one because these two teams hardly meets. However, I will place my bet on Leverkusen to win the match. If Leverkusen is able to win Bayern during the weekend, their chance of winning Milan will be high.

Rather than opportunity you might word it like chance or necessity!
In my opinion, Bayer is one of the worst types of adversaries Milan has to face, where on paper everything is good because Bayer neglects defenses sometimes and Milan's game was about more about exploiting breaches such as they did in the last two games but then again it's usually when they are aggressively press Milan starts to crumble.
And the form is misleading, yeah they beat Inter but what was before that? A flood of disappointments even with wins except for the beating of Venezia.

No way I would take those odds even if forced to, I would rather go for at least two goals scored.
Also, it's Bayer, not Bayern.

The new format is aimed at allowing viewers to see more different matches with their teams, that is, the task was to make the Champions League more interesting for the viewer. The fact that City cannot win some matches is primarily the fault of their opponents, when they decide to go into deep defense, maybe this is one of the few opportunities to get points in a match against City, so it is not worth blaming them for this. It is difficult to assess the advantages and disadvantages of this format for now, we can talk about this at the end of the season.

Actually it’s not that difficult and we don’t have to wait till the end of the season to know that players cannot be able to perform at their best given the number of games they have to play. Only big teams with squad depth can afford to rotate their players in the different competitions. The previous format was great in my opinion. You say the new format is aimed at allowing viewers to see more matches, honestly who wants to watch the champions league games 3 days a week.

Bayer Leverkusen is very strong, and AC Milan is just getting up, there is no chance of winning against Bayer Leverkusen at this time, and Ac Milan's first victory in the champions league will be delayed, or not against Bayer Leverkusen, especially since this match is held at the BayArena stadium, Leverkusen supporters will fill the stadium.

After all, for the time being on paper Xabi Alonso is more promising to give victory to Bayer Leverkusen, don't forget that Ac Milan is very inconsistent at the moment, especially since they just have a new coach who needs to adapt to AC Milan.

AC Milan might still find it difficult to win Bayern Leverkusen because when they played against Liverpool last week at their home they couldn't defend even when they were the first to score Liverpool and now they are playing at away to Bayern leverkusen that won Feyenoord 4:0 so i don't think Bayern leverkusen will just loose guard and allow AC Milan to win them at home. Though AC Milan has a considerate form in the Serie A since they have won 2 matches and draw 2 losing just one but the champions league games looks so complex for them and i don't even see them making a head way soon because teams they are meeting are very strong opponents. The only time they can win is when they meet teams they are far stronger than and not Bayern leverkusen.

[Distraction]

For the new week, I have already prepared a betslip and I'm thinking of wagering some money on it. How does it look?



The most doubtful ones for me look like the first and last ones. Arsenal didn't meet the expectations on the first week. It was a 0-0 result against Atalanta. This is even a bigger match than that considering the opponent. My worry is not to see any goal in the first half. I hope it doesn't fail.    When it comes to Dortmund, I believe in them to win. Celtic started really amazing. I have nothing against that. But their opponent was weak. Dortmund still look strong in the CL. 

If we see Leverkusen and Stuttgart losing points it would be a big surprise for me.

For now it is too risky to believe in betting on Milan victory because the inconsistent performance is slightly weakening making our bet lose. As we can see at that time you can see Milan unimpressive performance when playing against Liverpool and on the one hand Leverkusen currently has a very strong defense and always has a defensive strategy when they can't beat their opponents.
So it would be better for me to bet on other options such as BTTS or over 3.

Possibly before the match starts I dare to take the risk on Leverkusen victory -1.

Because they draw with their opponent that make you to advise others people not to bet for the favor of AC Milan, if you know the kind strong team Leverkusen are in this tournament, you will praise AC Milan for not allow them to win the game than to draw with them. If you can still flash back last season, you will know that AC Milan didn't started performing well from the beginning of last season until when the season was about to come to an end before they started displayed well to encourage their fans, but they where not able to end the season because Real Madrid was in favourable position to wiin the trophy.

You will see what AC Milan will do in their next season, because their coach will make sure he try other players to start the game so that it can turn for their favor to secure 3 points from the game to use it to encourage their fans that they will go far in this season.

I can't predict the game versus Bayern Leverkusen vs Ac Milla because Milla is doing well in the league. However, when they play against Inter Milan, I'm astonished because I expected Inter Milan to win or tie. Both teams are doing well, Leverkusen and Ac Milla, but Leverkusen are the favorites to win the match. However, Ac Milla is a good club that plays in the Champions League every season and, I am sure they have won the UCL before, so anything may happen in the game. Leverkusen won their last match, and Ac Milla lost to Liverpool, but if you look at the quality of Feyenoord and Liverpool, you will notice that Liverpool are better than them and stronger, so Ac Milla's match is tough, and Leverkusen gets a weak club because Leverkusen has more quality players than them, so Leverkusen will face a tough game in the ucl because Ac Milla are not a small club that Leverkusen can defeat once they need to perform well in the pitch.

There are still many opportunities for Atalanta to advance to the last 16 because there are still seven more matches to gain points before going to the next round and of the seven matches that Atalanta will face, the toughest are probably only when they face Real Madrid and Barcelona. In addition, there are no opponents who can make it difficult for Atalanta to get full points in this round because apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, I think the other five teams that Atalanta will face are fairly easy teams for them.

Atlanta might have the opportunity to move to round sixteen but are they ready to make that decision and back it up with a commitment to their games if not any other anything will not go according to what they have planned, and without does point you will not make it to the round sixteen and the point is what qualifies you to make it to that point. and am sure those seven matches will not be an easy one but we need to decide now because this is the Champions League and there is no escape if you are not good you have to defend yourself to the front before you can be able to get to that round. and when they face Real Madrid they need to be more prepared because Real Madrid can never be underestimated when it comes to the Champions League they can even neglect their league for the Champions League.

Looks like you have so much confidence in them and that is why you think the only people who can defeat them will not be more than real Madrid and Barcelona other clubs are worse than real Madrid and Atlanta defeating these two clubs means that they have the chance of winning which will be impossible. and the Champions League is not looking that serious for now and that is why because when it gets serious the heat will be everywhere.

Bayer Leverkusen is a strong team & they will also be playing a home game, so it will be difficult for AC Milan to get what they want this time.

Exactly, every team have the chance to win matches, and in this scenario, I don't see any reason why AC Milan will be given a high chance against Bayer Leverkusen.

I understand that AC Milan is a big team and have good Champions League record, but when we look at their performance this season, we will see that they struggling to win matches even in their domestic League (Seria A). Although they were able to defeat Inter Milan in their last Seria A match which show some sign that they are coming back strongly after their poor start of the season; but this should not make them judge or rank them ahead of Leverkusen even though they can defeat them, but playing Leverkusen away from home will be a difficult match for Milan to win.

[Weawant]

Currently each team has only played 1 match. I think we can't measure the performance of each team because there are still 7 matches. But if we look at the next opponent I agree with you. Atalanta has a chance to qualify for the round of 16 by being in the top 8 in the standings. But there are many other strong teams who will compete for the top 8 positions to qualify for the round of 16 and this is a challenge for Atalanta. So far only Real Madrid and Barcelona are their toughest opponents. But if we talk about Atalanta's chances of qualifying for the next round through the play-offs I am sure they can get it.

Measuring the strength of a team from the results of a game sometimes can be really feel wrong but in the end we find out that some teams do not do any better except for  a few who gets better in the long run before the end of the tournament. before we become to sure of Atlanta been able to qualify for the next round, lets not forget that they have tough opponents ahead and the very competitive nature of the champions league, the number of top teams competing to qualify for the top eight so as to get to the round of sixteen are much and are even tougher teams than Atlanta so i think its going to be a really tough one for them sine they are not as experienced as other teams contending.
