UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[iBaba]

It's takes a better side to keep a clean sheet so I see no reasons for anyone to have alleged that PSG were unlucky thereby making arsenal seem unworthy of a well deserved win after such a wonderful showdown in London. The fact that the visiting side couldn't find the back of the net is an evidence that Arsenal were not only aggressive upfront but their defence were also top notch and were able to contain the PSG attacking line up just as they were able to stop Manchester City a couple of weeks ago in the premiership.

I wish Arsenal could continue to keep their defense so strong and tight like they did yesterday against the PSG side, they would have achieved more than they did last year at the Premier League and Champions League tournament. The defense was tight enough to stop the French club from penetrating the 18 box yard to score goals, even though PSG had hit the post twice, that could not be transferred to a goal for the French side.

I loved the opening goal netted by Kai Havertz after Trossard had serviced him..with a powerful cross which saw Havertz, winning a header goal against the PSG players. Deyemi Saka also did well to compliment the first goal scored by Havertz with a second goal which further made the PSG guys look more wary and weak to equalize.

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.

It's takes a better side to keep a clean sheet so I see no reasons for anyone to have alleged that PSG were unlucky thereby making arsenal seem unworthy of a well deserved win after such a wonderful showdown in London. The fact that the visiting side couldn't find the back of the net is an evidence that Arsenal were not only aggressive upfront but their defence were also top notch and were able to contain the PSG attacking line up just as they were able to stop Manchester City a couple of weeks ago in the premiership.

Arsenal played pretty good yesterday, and they were able to outsmart PSG in order to score two goals in the first half. PSG game strategy was good, but they lack a good finisher and that was really a big problem for them because after all their ball work to Arsenal goal post, they will not be able to find the back of the net.

Arsenal proved superior over PSG yesterday with their good defense and attack that was very effective throughout. I was wondering why people were saying that Enrique has improved the performance of PSG and there was no good player to break the deadlock.  A lot is to be done in PSG for them to be able to go far and win the Champions League in future because they might not pas the round of 16 this season.

Today's match prediction.

• Lille vs Real Madrid (Madrid win -1) odds @2.08
• Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich (Munich win -1) odds @2.13
• Liverpool vs Bologna (over 3.5) odds @2.17
• Leipzig vs Juventus (BTTS) odds @1.84
• Benfica vs Atletico Madrid (over 2.75) odds @2.10

Great chance of winning for all favorite teams.

Those are great prediction picks you just made above, as Bayern Munich truly had great potential of winning Aston Villa in today's game which is the start few minutes from now, and likewise, I see Real Madrid smashing a win against Lille with BTTS, since in last 11 matches, both championship and club friendlies Lille has always known to score at least 1 goal in each game. However, when it comes the the game between Liverpool vs Bologna, I'm still a bit skeptical about the over 3.5 you put above, because judging from the previous H2H performance, both teams have only had an average goal score of 2, as I think placing that game as Over2.5 would have been much better.
But let's see how it goes

[Pokapoka124]

Resting the sqaud against Osasuna was a wise decision from Hansi Flick even though they lost the game. It displayed he is also showing interest in the Champions League Competition. Well, we all know what's it's like to play at Camp Nou back in the day, I'm sure Hansi Flick would bring back the memories of the good old days. Barcelona would be up against Young Boys, the odds for straight win way too small to place your money on. What I did was predict the game to be over 3.5. Viz are the games for Champions League this midweek;

It looks like Flick had it all planned out when he decided to rest players in the game against Osasuna last weekend and priotizing the champions league game against young Boys which eventually played out for him. You predicted well for over 3.5 goals because Barcelona demolished Young Boys in a 5 goal triller, they totally outclassed Young Boys yesterday.

Man City travel to Tehelné pole stadium, home of Slovan Bratislava a club that does not pose a serious threat to the Citizens. But let's look at some unexpected possibilities, given that they will be without the genius Kevin De Bruyne and the less than perfect Rodri, a sort of missing puzzle piece. For that reason I wouldn't underestimate Slovan Bratislava although not from a competitive league but at least Man City should be able to get the surprise they have prepared, if not win at least make Man City play seriously.

Manchester City were still much stronger against Slovan Bratislava even without Rodri and Kelvin De Bruyne but Manchester City were still in top form and showed against their opponent that they are still a strong side to play against even without the pair. Premier League teams have always doninated other league teams in the champions league in recent years and again they did last night.

PSG seems to really need a better striker at the moment. They actually haven't found a striker who is equal to Mbappe. And this has quite an impact on their attack line. And in fact, if PSG were braver in making high offers to the players they needed, PSG should be able to buy Osimhen from Napoli. Unfortunately PSG failed to get Osimhen to come to PSG. Because PSG's offer was not enough to cover Osimhen's release clause from Napoli. And with conditions like now, I think in the next transfer market PSG will look for a striker who can be a better finisher. And yes, it looks like it will be a difficult journey for PSG to advance further in the UCL. But I think breaking into the top 16 is still possible for PSG.

Strong Liverpool XI, looking forward to this. CL nights at Anfield hit different, I am expecting a big performance from the lads and hopefully a comfortable win.

Elsewhere some might be interested in Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich. Obviously the Germans are a bigger team with a massive reputation in Europe but Aston Villa are no push over at home.

[Unsoldier]

Liverpool will fight against Bologna at Anfield now and people at here have already know that Liverpool in the positive trend because they can gets 4 winning streak in all competitions and these results too makes Liverpool can occupy first place on League table of Premier league and for Bologna this season they have to hard struggle this season but basically Bologna latest performance is not really bad because they still unbeated in the last 5 matches in all competitions but we can't says those records is impressive because Bologna only able to get 1 win and 4 draw and here is the lineup for both teams below

Liverpool: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Robertson, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold

Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler; Orsolini, Moro, Urbanski, Ndoye; Dallinga

Both teams were never met before so this is their first met in this competition and i think we shouldn't be analysis more about this match because certainly Liverpool will being an the favourite even the bookies only provide low odds for them @1.17 but there is potention Liverpool will win with 2 goals margin or more so that's why instead of Liverpool win i think over 2.5 goals also good pick

Liverpool made a strong start in the Champions League with a victory over AC Milan. The team showcased their strength both in attack and from set-pieces. Bologna, on the other hand, drew against Shakhtar, leaving mixed impressions. They had their chances but failed to convert them.

My prediction for this match: Liverpool are clear favorites, and I expect at least three goals from them, considering the difference in class and current form. I believe Salah will score today.

Nice games. I have to sit up and bet all the games here exactly with the predictions. However, I have to remove the Aston Villa game because I dont think Bayern Munch would win the game. We know that Aston Villa is a good team now. I dont expect them to lose easily to Bayern. What am expecting in that game should be under 3.5. It's going to be tough for Bayern to score. Also, Aston Villa will have to play much more better if they want to win.

My favorite team to win in this game is Liverpool, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

[Jossque]

Girona lost against Feyenoord. Although they played better than their opponent, they couldn't win the match. 2 teams failed to capitalize on penalty kicks. Girona conceded 2 own goals and defeat was inevitable.
Atalanta were heavy favorites against Shakthar and made no mistake. Atalanta didn't have much difficulty in winning the match. It was a comfortable game for them.

[Akbarkoe]

Deyemi Saka also did well to compliment the first goal scored by Havertz with a second goal which further made the PSG guys look more wary and weak to equalize.

The victory is worthy of Arsenal which makes it difficult for PSG to get a goal in his match, to be honest I am very crazy with the match that Arsenal did because they were quite aggressive and the coolest was the free kick that saka did, he tried to stab to the keeper but paa The other players did not even touch it at all and only distracted and the ball was left off into the goal without touch.

Arteta was a little able to improve their defense line and make this victory their first victory in the Champions League, and then against Shaktar, I think that Arteta is not a serious match for him.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

On the other hand, Atalanta must be playing one of their most comfortable games. They are 3-0 ahead against Shakhtar away and the home side was able to do literally nothing so far. Just like they were in the Bologna game in which they got very lucky too.

Anyone expecting Aston Villa to give Bayern Munich an upset tonight?    I mean even a draw counts. Emery is always full of surprises and his team aren't weak. Do you remember the way he eliminated them here while managing Villarreal?

We don't know if there will be any surprises in the Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich match but what is certain is that Munich is the favorite today, Harry Kane knows how to play against Premier League teams so he will be the mainstay player today, but yeah Aston Villa will probably put up a fight Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins can be relied on in attack.

My parlay lost on Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta match, I predict both teams will score goals and I know Atalanta are favourites but because Shakhtar Donetsk are playing at home at least they will score a goal but unfortunately Shakhtar couldn't do anything. Have you checked the statistics of this match? imagine 90 minutes of the match, Shakhtar Donetsk could not make any shots on target while Atalanta dominated with 22 shots and 5 on target. really beyond my expectation.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Lille versus Madrid is one of the matches I've been waiting for and finally after a long time I saw Lunin start again in this match after Courtois was previously unavailable. I'm happy with Ancelotti's decision to reshuffle the players and of course with the new scheme used in this match.
They still favored 2 strikers with Endrick filling in for Rodrygo who is unavailable at the moment and Mbappe in the reserves.

I'm quite optimistic about this match because even though there are some changes in players and schemes, I still feel that Madrid can get 3 points in this match. Kick off is on and Madrid are likely to kick off at the start of the half with one on target in the opening 10 minutes.

[Richbased]

There is an insane level of drop in Girona's performance this year.    They couldn't win in a five games in a row and currently they are going for the sixth one.    Feyenoord still lead by 2-1 and they even missed a penalty later on.

Girona is really getting more worst this season and it's becoming irritating considering how forceful they were last season a lot of people had the feelings that they will do well in the champions league but instead it's going the other way round even in their domestic league matches. Feyenoord is a good team from the Netherlands Eredivisie but i didn't expect Girona to lose at home and now the match ended 2:3 in favour of Feyenoord.

On the other hand, Atalanta must be playing one of their most comfortable games. They are 3-0 ahead against Shakhtar away and the home side was able to do literally nothing so far. Just like they were in the Bologna game in which they got very lucky too.

Yeah, Atalanta have shown very good performance recently and it's a welcome development because after their performance at the Europa league last season they are expected to make a head way in the Champions league and they are really trying their best because their last outing with Arsenal they got a draw which gave them so much confidence in the match they played against Bologna in the Serie A and also this champions league game against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Anyone expecting Aston Villa to give Bayern Munich an upset tonight?    I mean even a draw counts. Emery is always full of surprises and his team aren't weak. Do you remember the way he eliminated them here while managing Villarreal?

Aston villa started the champions league campaign very well by winning Young Boys 3:0 in their opening legs and even though Aston villa once won the champions league title in 1981/1982 season by winning Bayern munich by 1:0 but i don't think that Unai Emery boys can be able to beat Bayern munich tonight even though they are in a very good form because Vincent Kompany's boys are very active this season and will not want to gamble their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 so they are not going to allow Aston Villa to win them.

[Adiljutt156]

I previously said that the draw they got when facing Arsenal in the Champions League should be a good capital for them to return to Serie, but in reality they couldn't do much when facing a team that played with 10 men in the second half. They even had to wait until 90 minutes to be able to create an equalizer.
In terms of match statistics, they do have a big advantage, but that alone is not enough to make them able to get 3 points in this match. They missed many opportunities so they had to be satisfied with the 1 point they managed to bring home from this match.

I  think both teams played well in this match and gave tough time to each other. Both teams gave their hundred percent to safe the goals in this match.  But  at  the 89 minutes of the match, Bologna FC team was ahead in this match because they did 1 goal in this match and on the other hand, the score of Atalanta team was 0 but at 90 minutes of the match, L. Samardžić did the goal and both team score became equal and we saw draw match. S. Castro was the person who did first goal of the match and the overall performance of Atalanta team was best and they were better candidates for the win but they could not do that .

[Ruttoshi]

                      Liverpool 1-0 Bologna

Liverpool have find the back of the net very early in the first ten minute of the game. Mac Allister was able to make a clean finish into the back of Bologna post, immediately after Bologna goal was disqualified by the referee because it was an offside.

Benefica is also on the lead with one goal ahead of Atletico Madrid. The goal was scored by K.Aktuikoglu on the 13th minutes of the game. No club have scored yet apart from these two clubs currently.

[kawetsriyanto]

PSG's coach is to blame for not fielding a full squad in the Champions League match against Arsenal. Even though Dembale is not injured, he is not included in the squad. Arsenal is eager to win after losing to Atalanta and will not want to lose again. It is possible that the coach only wants Arsenal to win because if they play their entire squad, they will be successful. But I heard that they suspended Dembele, which is why he is not in the squad. Liverpool are playing against Bologna and assure he will be win for the Red this night, because they are better then Bologna this season, and they are in real good form nothing will stop Liverpool from not winning today expect the coach didn't put better players in the information because that is what psg did yesterday and make wrong decisions ad arsenal get the opportunity of defeating them in the ucl.

Yep. It makes sense if we blame Enrique because he didn't prepare the match with the best lineup. There are some important players who weren't in the starting lineup, it's not only Dembele. Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio, Fabian Ruiz, and Milan Skriniar were on the bench. Meanwhile some too young players were a part of the starting lineup. It is quite strange that Enrique prefers young players who have lack of the experience in UCL to be starters.

By the way, I don't want to try assuming that Enrique underestimates Arsenal, Arsenal is one of the top teams in EPL. But it is very disappointing if Enrique put some main players on the bench because he feels no chance to win against Arsenal. In fact, PSG actually dominated the match but they couldn't score any goal because Enrique chooses inexperienced players and have lower quality as attackers. Considering this matter, I'm very doubtful that PSG will continue to the next round.

Girona lost against Feyenoord. Although they played better than their opponent, they couldn't win the match. 2 teams failed to capitalize on penalty kicks. Girona conceded 2 own goals and defeat was inevitable.
Atalanta were heavy favorites against Shakthar and made no mistake. Atalanta didn't have much difficulty in winning the match. It was a comfortable game for them.

unlucky with Girona's defeat. Glad to see Girona's second goal scored by Donny van de Beek in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately, the goal did not last long for Feyenoord to win the match. David Hancko's goal was also disallowed, but overall it was a very enjoyable match to watch. Girona dominated Possession ball but Feyenoord played well and won the match. There were also 9 yellow cards issued by the referee, showing how the match was quite intense.

And yes, it looks like it will be a difficult journey for PSG to advance further in the UCL. But I think breaking into the top 16 is still possible for PSG.

I knew that this moment was coming for PSG where it was going to become a bit Difficult for everyone to be in this thing, now, a striker and a good midfielder, because I see many deficiencies, that's why Arsenal entered so easily, now PSG is a team that can basically go in one direction, and that direction must change , I did imagine that now the performance was not going to be better than before for PSG, Luis Enrique has a big job now, I imagine the pressure he must have from the Sheikh , and well, the UCL is not the same as Ligue 1, Ligue 1 does not yet have that high level to compete against other leagues and be dominant, only with many stars.

[Uruhara]

Strong Liverpool XI, looking forward to this. CL nights at Anfield hit different, I am expecting a big performance from the lads and hopefully a comfortable win.

Elsewhere some might be interested in Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich. Obviously the Germans are a bigger team with a massive reputation in Europe but Aston Villa are no push over at home.

Liverpool rarely disappoints us. And currently Liverpool have also managed to take a 1 goal lead in the match against Bologna. And I don't think this will be the only goal in this match. Because I believe Liverpool will win this match with more goals.

The match that made me quite disappointed was the Benfica vs Atletico Madrid match because at this time I didn't expect Atletico Madrid to be caught off guard by 1 goal behind. And Benfica even played better with several of their attack attempts that managed to penetrate Atletico Madrid's defense. I hope Atletico Madrid can turn things around quickly.

The Aston Villa vs Bayern match really attracted a lot of people's attention. but I'm sure Bayern will win the match. Because in terms of squad quality and depth, I think Bayern is indeed superior to Aston Villa.

It was a big disappointment to see Girona lose a game they performed so well today, so many mistakes on the Girona team they had to even score twice in their own post as a result of not being able to communicate very well in the defense. Feyenoord was supposed to be the underdog in the game since the home team was dominating the game more but Feyenoord game plan was so decent that they mounted pressure on on the home team after they leveled the score to be 2:2 in the 73 minutes, but the winner goal came from L. Krejčí in his own post to give the away team the 3 points. It was a sad day for Girona because they were better in performance today.
