UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[yudi09]

PSG's game last night was quite good, but they were unlucky. Why? because the top statistics show that PSG are much better than Arsenal.
I think Arsenal's victory was also not because of 100% luck but because Arsenal's finishing was much better than PSG. In fact, in terms of luck, PSG were far from lucky because they could not take advantage of the opportunities that existed throughout the match. I watched the match alone via streaming that's why I said that.

How is PSG better than Arsenal in yesterday’s match?
I think the best statistics of judging a better team is based on the game’s outcome, and if it is true, then Arsenal is a better team yesterday because they get three points they needed in the game yesterday.

The final result of 3 points is the main target of every team that competes. The match statistics that I assess are based on a summary of the overall numbers starting from ball possession to other records such as passes.
The losing team is still considered below the winning team. PSG has a higher percentage of ball possession. PSG's unluckiness can be seen from the number of shots they got even though Arsenal was more than PSG in terms of on target.

Dortmund success in winning a big 7-1 victory over Celtic on the second matchday of the UCL has brought the German club to the top of the standings with 6 points.

To be honest with you I was thinking that Celtic will get three points from Borussia Dortmund because they seem more prepared on this season than Borussia Dortmund because already we can see the winnings Celtic has been having on there previous matches but however to see them loosing to Borussia Dortmund with this amount of goals makes me to think that I was just hyping them when the actual truth was that they were not that strong as I thought.

Perhaps it seems that all the numerous wining they have been having on there local league is as a result of playing with smaller clubs that has a lesser performance than them but unfortunately for them the champions League clubs are all strong, however I wonder how there match is going to be when they would meet clubs like Bayern Munich or Manchester City, which means that they would conceive up to 10 or more goals because this two teams I just mentioned are even more stronger and fierce than Borussia Dortmund.

[Lafu]

We have seen them complete the two matches with impressive wins in both matches and the fans of Dortmund must have been overjoyed to see them win. Although Dortmund did not do well in the Bundesliga, we can see a lot of improvement in their performance in the Champions League. However, we can assume from the impressive performance that Dortmund will try to play their next matches with even better performance.

I really enjoyed the game yesterday from Dortmund against Celtic and specially the first halftime was very impressive from all.
Karim Adeyemi was on fire and the best player of that match , saddly he got injured and was missing the second halftime.
If Dortmund can keep up that performance in the Champions League and also in the German League they will get far in this competition.
I guess that this performance from yesterday cant be beaten.

[Chilwell]

Currently leading the standings in the Champions League is Borussia Dortmund.They have played two matches so far with two impressive wins, and they have scored 10 goals. They are at the top of the points table after a 7-1 win over Celtic, although Dortmund's attack was much stronger. I think the Champions League will be more likely to win the Champions League than the Bundesliga this season, especially with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen attacking the Champions League with a lot of excitement in every match.

I think your conclusion looks too early by saying Bundesliga league will produce this season champions league winner when they only had their second game of the season, there are many battles await them, what about brest that come second or you are doubting them. Borussia Dortmund really played very well to earn what they got, although Dortmund haven't play with a tough team since from the beginning, I will even question them if they did not make it through with those team, I will only appreciate their effort if the succeeded with big teams then I will consider them as among the favorite to win the Champions League this season.

To me the 2 biggest games tonight are Lille Vs Real Madrid and Aston Villa Vs Bayern Munich.
In both cases, home teams are underdogs and we have a very similar odds in both matches. You could get around x1.60 for an away team to win.
I'm not sure about Lille Vs Real, as I don't follow the French league, but as for the second game, I don't think it will be an easy game for Bayern, I think the odds are misplaced and AV should not be that much of an underdog. I wouldn't go as far as to say AV should be the favourite, but I expect it to be a quite even game, and therefore I think a double-chance bet for AV to win or draw is a good value bet and could yield you around x2.20.

But we have never doubted Arsenal's defense. So PSG had difficulty finding gaps that they could really exploit when they were in Arsenal's defense area. At least in yesterday's match I was only surprised by PSG's defeat by Arsenal and also AC Milan's defeat by Leverkusen. Apart from these two matches, I feel that all the teams won very fairly. But Man City, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Dortmund in yesterday's match were truly unstoppable by their opponents. They all scored at least 4 goals and Dortmund had the most, namely 7 goals.

Dortmund performed exceptionally by winning their second match in the UCL with a fantastic score (7-1) over Celtic, the 3 points make them temporarily at the top of the UCL league phase standings with 6 points, so far we see if the 3 strong Bundesliga team are very impressive in the semi-league phase, but I think the journey in the Champions League is not an easy thing although they went through two games with a win, because there are still 6 more matches that can be a challenge for them to qualify for the round of 16 later.
Every team that has a good enough squad depth will of course try to focus on every competition they participate in, including Munich, Dortmund and also Leverkusen who are currently still struggling in the Bundesliga and Champions League, focusing on winning one competition may be one way to maintain their chances of becoming champions, But I think when they are able and can stay focused in these two competitions, of course there is nothing wrong and it will be an impressive achievement for their later if they can win the Bundesliga and UCL at the same time in the end of the season.

Salzburg humiliated at home... Maybe this is a confusion for bettors including myself, but what can make them play badly even though the possession of the ball is enough for but it does not guarantee for the host.

This time trying with multi bets again I hope no one misses...
Except for the Zegreb vs Monaco match I chose for both teams to score.
Everything else I believe the favorite team will win even though it won't be easy just because we know they have the ability to play better in UCL

[rahmad2nd]

I disagree with you; even Paris Saint-Germain is also performing pretty well in their league this season, and they are even topping the League 1 table. If you watched the Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain game last night, you will know that Paris Saint-Germain performed better than Arsenal in that game. Arsenal were lucky to have scored two goals against Paris Saint-Germain inside 35 minutes, which helped them beat Paris Saint-Germain at Emirate Stadium last night. With the chances Paris Saint-Germain had against Arsenal in their game last night, Arsenal would have found it hard to win that game if Paris Saint-Germain had a good finisher.

If PSG is superior in possession of the ball, that's right, they dominate the game. I watched this match only the first half, because there are other matches that I want to watch. Well, Arsenal can actually play more aggressively as usual. However, in football it's not just a matter of performing better, but also related to tactics and strategy. In last night's match, Arteta again applied a different pattern, namely the 4-4-2 formation. Theoretically, this pattern emphasizes counterattacks and defense. Well, I don't know what Arteta planned with his tactics and strategy. What is clear is that the tactics implemented by Artera went according to plan. Regarding the point you said, I have actually discussed it in the previous post. But don't forget, that Arsenal also doesn't have a finisher who is a goal-scoring machine in their squad. But in fact, they were able to break through PSG's goal 2 goals. As an Arsenal fan, of course I am happy with this victory. Regarding PSG, we could actually review it in more depth, but PSG lost and Enrique has chosen the players who were his starting eleven in the match against Arsenal.

[Out of mind]

Real Madrid will face Lille today, the match will be played at Lille's home ground. However, we can predict in today's match that Real Madrid is the most likely to win with the opposition and I will pick Real Madrid to bet today. Real Madrid can beat Lille by a huge margin if they can keep up their strong performance and exciting attack today. Moreover, according to today's betting odds, if you bet on Real Madrid, you can expect to win it. Moreover, I believe that last season's champion team, Real Madrid, definitely played the best game in the Champions League.

To me the 2 biggest games tonight are Lille Vs Real Madrid and Aston Villa Vs Bayern Munich.
In both cases, home teams are underdogs and we have a very similar odds in both matches. You could get around x1.60 for an away team to win.
I'm not sure about Lille Vs Real, as I don't follow the French league, but as for the second game, I don't think it will be an easy game for Bayern, I think the odds are misplaced and AV should not be that much of an underdog. I wouldn't go as far as to say AV should be the favourite, but I expect it to be a quite even game, and therefore I think a double-chance bet for AV to win or draw is a good value bet and could yield you around x2.20.

It would be risky to take double chances to win and draw from Aston Villa, we know how Bayern Munich play in the champion league they have never been in doubt at all while Aston Villa is not a balanced opponent in my opinion, so there is still a possibility of Bayern Munich winning again with a large number of goals.

Still taking the @1.60 odds will be better and still likely to win.

LOSC vs Real Madrid is the away team that will win.
I don't really follow the French league but LOSC in their own league has only lost 2x and 1x draw while in UCL matches they still can't win last week at Sporting CP.

It's clear to me Madrid will win.

You are right, I now understand what you are referring to. PSG actually played Arsenal very well, they were in control of the game to some extent, but they lack the creative ability that will brake Arsenal’s defense for them to be able to have enough shots on target, but they posses Arsenal so well but Arsenal did the right thing at the right time, they didn’t focus of having enough ball possession because they knew that PSG is a big team that can defeat them if they played the same pattern with them.
Arteta played to the pattern that suits the game, and he got the result perfectly. Kudos to Arsenal players especially the back line and the goalkeeper for their excellent performance to remain unbeaten in all competitions since the beginning of this season.

I can say that both teams played very well. And I also agree that PSG is just unlucky. Because they always almost scored a goal but unfortunately two shots only hit the crossbar and goal post. And that is a moment that is often considered to make a club unlucky. But Arsenal also almost scored more goals. And there is a difference here, namely that Arsenal always penetrate PSG's defense quite well. Meanwhile, the PSG players had difficulty penetrating Arsenal's defense, which looked tighter.

The matches that will be very interesting for me today are the Liverpool vs Bologna match and the Aston Villa vs Bayern match. Because at least in these two matches I think it will be fierce and it will be difficult to predict the results. Meanwhile, the LOSC vs Real Madrid match is actually quite interesting to me, but I might miss it because I'm sure Real Madrid will win that match.

Girona vs Feyenoord

Girona (confirmed lineup): Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, David Lopez, Ladislav Krejci, Miguel Gutierrez, Donny van de Beek, Yangel Herrera, Ivan Martin, Viktor Tsigankov, Bryan Gil, Bojan Miovski.

Feyenoord (confirmed lineup): Timon Wellenreuther, Jordan Lotomba, Thomas Beelen, David Hancko, Hugo Bueno, Quinten Timber, In-Beom Hwang, Antoni Milambo, Ibrahim Osman, Ayase Ueda, Igor Paixao.

This  teams are set to begin their first meeting ever, Girona are hosting Feyenoord at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi to play their second game of champions league which the both haven't secured a win, due to my observations I think Girona have higher chance of winning because firstly they are The Host and In their last match Girona conceded less goals compare to Feyenoord.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta
Shakhtar Donetsk (confirmed lineup): Dmytro Riznyk, Valeriy Bondar, Alaa Ghram, Mykola Matviyenko, Marlon Gomes, Pedro Henrique, Dmytro Kryskiv, Taras Stepanenko, Georgiy Sudakov, Oleksandr Zubkov, Eguinaldo.

Atalanta (confirmed lineup): Marco Carnesecchi, Odilon Kossounou, Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac, Raoul Bellanova, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Davide Zappacosta, Lazar Samardzic, Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman.

Shakhtar Donetsk have a revenge to do against Atalanta, in 2019 season Atalanta win Shakhtar Donetsk 0-3 and now they will play again this evening, let see how the game will be.

Moreover, according to today's betting odds, if you bet on Real Madrid, you can expect to win it. Moreover, I believe that last season's champion team, Real Madrid, definitely played the best game in the Champions League.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid will be the favorite in this match. And I even hope they can score lots of goals like other favorite teams did in yesterday's match. And yes, betting on Real Madrid is the best choice in this match. But that doesn't mean there won't be any surprises in today's match. Because sometimes unexpected results can occur. And I hope that doesn't happen in this match.

The Shakhtar vs Atalanta match and the Girona vs Feyenoord match will start soon. And I think Atalanta and Girona are the favorites in this match. But what intrigues me most is Girona. Because I want to know how far they can compete in the UCL. After they had a good season in Laliga last season.

Well the summary of the match was that PSG were playing possession game, they held the ball mostly but Arsenal were good defensively and also creative in the final third and that's why they scored two goals without any reply from PSG, I enjoyed the game and I love  that Arsenal was able to meet up the odds given to them by the book makers, they favoured Arsenal over PSG and those who were bold enough to pick Arsenal in their ticket should've been smiling after Arsenal scored the 2nd goal. When Arteta got Calafiori to add up to Saliba and Gabriel, I knew that they were going to be good defensively this season and so far it's helping them. Arteta has shaped Arsenal from being a boring and underperforming team to a team that's fun to watch, they play beautiful football and even as a rival fan you'll still enjoy watching them play, that's wonderful and something Erik Ten Hag should emulate, kudos to Arteta and his squad for beating on of the biggest team in the world.

Real Madrid will hopefully perform well as the defending champions which i believe they wouldn't want to mess up this stage that appears like the easy stage as the teams they will be acing aren't tough teams, they are like almost weak teams and such they can handle easily and probably get the points to proceed to the next stage of the league, I'm not expecting so much from that game but that Madrid wins or gets a draw without much drama which Ancelotti would want to be in such position actually.  Bayern Munich after drawing against their biggest German rival over the weekend, they will be ready to do better in the champions league especially as their opponent isn't a tough one.

Dortmund success in winning a big 7-1 victory over Celtic on the second matchday of the UCL has brought the German club to the top of the standings with 6 points.

To be honest with you I was thinking that Celtic will get three points from Borussia Dortmund because they seem more prepared on this season than Borussia Dortmund because already we can see the winnings Celtic has been having on there previous matches but however to see them loosing to Borussia Dortmund with this amount of goals makes me to think that I was just hyping them when the actual truth was that they were not that strong as I thought.

I wasn't even expecting Celtic to win Borussia Dortmund in that game considering Borussia Dortmund been at home at the same time I wasn't still expecting Borussia Dortmund to win Celtic with such margin of goals Borussia Dortmund winning Celtic 7-1 was unimaginable.
Borussia Dortmund has been performing well both in there domestic league and in the UEFA Champions league last season. Actually Celtic is a strong side when they play in there domestic league they are always king there but when it comes to the UEFA Champions league there are somany challenges there because that is where all champions comes to play so honestly I wasn't expecting Celtic to win neither was I expecting Borussia Dortmund to win them with such margin though that's football I wasn't surprised with the score line because in football anything can happen.

But seeing Dortmund who managed to win with a very big score really made me think that Dortmund could indeed surprise us again by managing to go very far in the UCL like last season. We were surprised last season in the UCL by Dortmund. Because without us expecting this team managed to reach the final. And it is not impossible that this season Dortmund will succeed in doing it again. Although I see that it is difficult to happen again.

By the way, in the current matches, namely the Shakhtar vs Atalanta and Girona vs Feyenoord matches, it looks like there will be lots of goals scored again like in yesterday's matches. Because currently Girona has scored 1 goal against Feyenoord and it turns out that Atalanta has also managed to do the same thing against Shakhtar. But as I write this it turns out that Feyenoord has managed to equalize the score at 1-1.
