UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Velvet78]

Saka is expected to be in the starting lineup of Arsenal today. Merino will probably be the main striker. I'm kind of sad for them about that though. They don't have a real CF.    But still Saka would make the attacking line more active today.

Saliba - Kiwior duo will be in defense probably. Gabriel is injured. But Real Madrid also lack a lot in defense so... I think the best bet for this game is BTTS @1.71. It would be a big surprise to me if we don't see both sides scoring honestly.

As everyone is excitedly waiting for the Champions League meeting between the Spanish giant Real Madrid and the England London side Arsenal, majority of the spectators are predicting that Real Madrid will beat Arsenal. Judging from the statistics and the present form of both teams, and also the quality of players in both clubs, you will agree that Real Madrid will beat Arsenal.
But I am personally seeing a surprise tonight, the London side good pull a surprise against the Spanish giants. My conviction increased when Saka return to play two weeks before this great meeting. It could be a great shocker for everyone of us. Let us not count Arsenal out yet

Is Saka Ronaldo or Messi that can turn tongs around on his own, the young Man is just returning from Injury and his recovery don't expect him to do any surprise tonight Against Real Madrid. If you talk about Saka as a big player tonight what about vinicious and mbappe can saka steal the show against them.

Real Madrid will humiliate Arsenal tonight don't expect any magic from Arsenal, because they have no experience in Champions league competition. Real Madrid has faced top clubs to get to this stage. Beating Manchester City home and away, they also knock out Atletico. Real Madrid knows how to win a game as king of the league.

You said it well. But it should not be forgotten how well Arsenal can perform at Emirates Stadium, London ‍as their home venue. Moreover, Real Madrid lost to Valencia in La Liga a few days ago, there is no reason to be happy here because both teams are very good. I cannot consider anyone weak. Real are definitely in good form. That is why Arsenal will definitely be scared. I just want to say that Saka may not be like Ronaldo or Messi, he was doing well from his position. He definitely deserves praise for the consistent performances he has given his age and experience.

My bet of the day on the Champion League match

Arsenal vs Real Madrid
odds: Double chance: Draw or Real Madrid

Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan
Both teams score: Yes

Hope you win and celebrate it today.

This match is tough to guess because we know it's tougher...and who knows if there are any surprises?
The clear favorites are Real and Bayern.

Leg 1 of the favorite teams, Real Madrid and Bayern, means that those who follow the bookmaker to bet on the team, I think one of them will lose if the scenario is betting on a multi bet.

Bayern I am sure to choose them because Bayern are more dominant than Inter. Real Madrid I doubt they will win in London. If I have to guess who will qualify for the next round, Arsenal or Real Madrid, my mind whispers that Arsenal will qualify. This season is not Real Madrid's season in the Champions League.
For sure, this is not certain. DYOR.

[AirtelBuzz]

The road to the final will be a very tough one for all the team. My predictions in this quatre final are Arsenal to qualify for next round against Real Madrid in both leg, Barcelona to qualify as well, Bayern Munich to qualify, and PSG to qualify. In the semifinal it will be Arsenal against PSG, and Barcelona against Bayern Munich. During the semi-final, Arsenal will win against PSG while Bayern Munich will win against Barcelona. Moving to the final Arsenal will be competing for the UCL trophy against Bayern Munich which either team might win.

The league belongs to Bayern Munich or Arsenal.

I can never agree with your absurd predictions about the Champions League. You are so easily trying to eliminate Real Madrid from the Super Eight of the Champions League, if we read their history we will all know that they are the strongest and the favorite for this stage of the Champions League. It is much more challenging to predict at this stage of the Champions League because every team has given their best.

Moreover I personally never think and do not believe that Arsenal will be able to reach the final of a football tournament like this year's UCL. Perhaps it will be easy for everyone to find the right proof through the first leg match today. There will undoubtedly be great interest from both Arsenal and Real Madrid in this match and it seems that they will start this round well with a win in today's match.

[X-ray]

Saka is expected to be in the starting lineup of Arsenal today. Merino will probably be the main striker. I'm kind of sad for them about that though. They don't have a real CF.    But still Saka would make the attacking line more active today.

Saliba - Kiwior duo will be in defense probably. Gabriel is injured. But Real Madrid also lack a lot in defense so... I think the best bet for this game is BTTS @1.71. It would be a big surprise to me if we don't see both sides scoring honestly.

I have bolded some of your sentences as my wish for the result of Real Madrid vs Arsenal. I don't like Real Madrid's position right now. They're good in attack, but terrible in defense. It gives their opponent greater chance to take pretty good agg in this game.

I also aware how their odds is slightly getting bigger than last days, which is not good. They have to pay more attention to the Saka instead of someone else in Arsenal.

I hope their coach won't include Vazquez and Alaba in the squad. They have to give up if they put those players as starting line up. There must be something wrong with their coach if it happens. I consder a draw as a big gift.

For me, both teams have lapses; Arsenal lacks strong striker and finishers, while Real Madrid also lack proper and reliable defense; but their midfielders are good enough to help their respective teams today.

I don’t think Arsenal will lose as many are expecting, and I don’t equally think they can defeat Real Madrid easily same as Madrid to defeat Arsenal easily. It will be a normal match with good number of goals, both Arsenal and Real Madrid can emerge as winners, but I have the same rating for both teams.

Arsenal attack line have been sidelined due to their inconsistency to net goals for the club. Perhaps Mikel Arteta have found a path to improve the club's formidable form and becoming one special quality. What's the odds of Arsenal losing today at Emirates? The Gunners have been really reliable towards enforcing their streak winnings and becoming one of the elite oppositions.

Real Madrid is favorite to win the UCL title besides they're defending champion. Madrid is the best team tonight to record a winning. They've everything to process a winning for the club, always coming out stronger and eligible for title run. Carlo Ancelotti is experienced, capable of handling any oppositions, he's not relenting.

[red4slash]

It may not be as you predicted because the semi-final matches of UCL are very competitive at the moment. However, I think Arsenal has a chance to win the match between Arsenal and Real Madrid here, because Real Madrid's performance is not so great at the moment.

Real Madrid is considered the most experienced team in the Champions League. This team is strong and experienced. Madrid also has an experienced coach like Ancelotti. Even then, Real Madrid is not considered a favorite in this match against Arsenal. The only reason for this is Madrid's weak defense. Madrid has conceded 2 goals against a weak team like Valencia a few days ago. That is why I doubt whether Madrid will win the away match against Arsenal. Arsenal is in their best form in this Champions League.

Actually in this case I see another thing when Madrid is not too favorite, namely the home match factor is an advantage for Arsenal so the bookmakers clearly give more odds for this.

But it is also not wrong to now say that Madrid has a defense that is indeed very declining in terms of performance, especially some players like Vazquez and Alaba who look quite troubled to maintain their performance in a match.
Actually, their defense still has some good ones like when Tchouameni can be an option and always plays well although I prefer Ancelotti to keep him as an anchor midfielder. Or the young player who is currently seeking attention where Raul Asencio can also actually play well but indeed his tandem is a little difficult to expect to make his performance quite bad.

Ancellotti must certainly try to fix this because for now their focus must really be maintained if they do not want to be eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals this time.

[Pandorak]

It's unique to see that Real Madrid's chances are only 31% to win, because they are the defending champions, and their chances should be greater even play away at the Emirates.
I am sure Ancelotti knows what he was doing. It's not the first time Real Madrid met Arsenal; they even met on the ICC (2019), the Emirates Cup (2008), and the UCL (2006), but Real Madrid did not win it all! Guy, in the last 4 matches, Arsenal won 2 matches, and the rest were a tie. This could be homework that should be fixed immediately because in La Liga, Real Madrid also has a problem with the squad; they lost when met Valencia, and it seems their focus was split between the Copa del Rey final, which drained their energy.

Although the percentage of chances of winning is only 31%, it is quite good, considering the club to be faced is not a weak club that can be defeated easily, Arsenal have pretty good winning statistics this season, their attack performance has increased significantly, it's just that Arsenal must be careful to maintain the defense line, because Arsenal less than optimal defense line can be a boomerang, Real Madrid has a fast and directed attack, if the defense is fragile, they will easily break through to score goals, and if you pay attention to the previous match, one of the causes of defeat is because the defense line is not optimal.

Soon we will see these two Clubs will compete, my personal prediction, in this match the possibility of a draw is very large, and still as before, i will install a victory for Real Madrid with a narrow victory score.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Many people currently doubt Real Madrid. But everyone still won't be surprised if Real Madrid ultimately wins today's match.

Lol, who doubts Real Madrid in a CL knockout game, that is ridiculous. Real Madrid's current form does not count when they play in the CL, they could be terrible in LaLiga, but in the CL, they are kings. That said, whilst i am certain it is Real that would progress over the two legs, i am not quite sure of the result for the first leg tonight, maybe a draw, a draw would be a great result for Real Madrid to take to Spain.

Maybe it means doubt in this first leg. To be honest, I don't favor Real Madrid in today's match the reason is clear because Arsenal is playing at home so they should have an advantage, this is also supported by the betting market who offers lower odds on Arsenal. One thing to note is that the teams in this round are the best teams which means they have more abilities when defeating previous opponents so nothing can be underestimated, even a team like Aston Villa can surprise strong teams like Bayern Munich.

I'm not underestimating Real Madrid but I think the best result for them today would be a draw and if they are unlucky Real Madrid could lose by one goal. By the way I have placed a bet on the match and selected the Both teams to score option, yeah I hope both teams play aggressively.

I think Arsenal have a point to claim today, they will have to try to keep their unbeaten record against Real Madrid because their squad isn’t that bad to lose anyhow to Real Madrid because they have good defenders that can stop Real Madrid attackers; therefore, we can’t easily look down on Arsenal in this match because they can surprise us today especially as they will be playing at the Emirate Stadium tonight.

[Adbitco]

It may not be as you predicted because the semi-final matches of UCL are very competitive at the moment. However, I think Arsenal has a chance to win the match between Arsenal and Real Madrid here, because Real Madrid's performance is not so great at the moment. Moreover, PSG will face Aston Villa here, PSG will easily win, so the possibility of Arsenal and PSG facing each other for the semi-finals is high. However, on the other hand, there is a possibility of good competition between these two teams, Inter and Bayern Munich, although Bayern has a higher chance of winning here. If Bayern enters the semi-finals, Barcelona will also enter the semi-finals, but Bayern Munich may not win the semi-final match against Barcelona. So it is not possible to say for sure yet, the semi-finals of UCL may not be as easy as we think. However, in this UCL league, Arsenal and Barcelona may face each other in the final match.

This is not the Semi final yet, it's after this stage that's the Semis. This is the Quarter final stages that's why it's comprising of 8 teams. Well I have no problem if Arsenal eliminates Real Madrid but the way at which you guys underestimate this Madrid side is really something else. You guys are so quick to forget that Real Madrid in the Champions League has no business with their form in the league. They could be bad in the league and still strong in the Champions League and they have shown this time and time again, but it's just that most people really don't learn from this Real Madrid team. Seriously I don't even see this Arsenal side having a single chance against this very PSG team, that's if Arsenal even gets past REAL MADRID.

The main factor that creates a question mark in minds is that Arsenal has too many injured players. If Arsenal had their ideal 11 on the field, they would have had a much greater chance of winning against Real Madrid. However, their quality and talented players are injured. They will definitely feel their absence because they should have responded to Real Madrid's weak defense with quality attackers. An exciting match awaits us now, with no one knowing who will win.

[Stepstowealth]

I hope their coach won't include Vazquez and Alaba in the squad. They have to give up if they put those players as starting line up. There must be something wrong with their coach if it happens. I consder a draw as a big gift.

Saka will be against David Alaba who has not played for a long time in the Champions League, and if within the first few 1v1, Saka is able to shake Alaba, it is going to be an intriguing game. Arsenal have some defensive insecurities too, Kiwior starting, and for Lewis Skelly, this will be the biggest Champions League game in his short career. I want Arsenal to win it, Real Madrid have won the Champions League too much.
Bayern playing against Inter Milan will also be a big game for the Bayern coach, the biggest of his coaching career I think as well, and will be more difficult with some players missing.

[Ahli38]

Real Madrid's current form does not count when they play in the CL, they could be terrible in LaLiga, but in the CL, they are kings. That said, whilst i am certain it is Real that would progress over the two legs, i am not quite sure of the result for the first leg tonight, maybe a draw, a draw would be a great result for Real Madrid to take to Spain.

In fact, many people have doubts about Real Madrid since some of Real Madrid's bad results in the early stages of the UCL. Even at that time, Real Madrid had to fight harder just to qualify for the round of 16. And it's not like the Real Madrid we're used to seeing. It's just that this team always knows how to win in the end. So even though I am full of doubts, I still think that Real Madrid will ultimately succeed in going further.

And in this first leg, I'm also not sure whether Real Madrid will win or just draw. But I hope Real Madrid doesn't lose. And I hope there will be lots of goals scored in this match where both teams score.

[CryptoBuds]

For me, both teams have lapses; Arsenal lacks strong striker and finishers, while Real Madrid also lack proper and reliable defense; but their midfielders are good enough to help their respective teams today.

You are right. Arsenal lacks experienced strikers and finishers. But as a team, this team is very strong. We saw Arsenal players score 7 goals in the away match against PSV. It was very difficult to score 7 goals in a dangerous area against a team like PSV. Even then, Arsenal managed to do it. So I think even though Arsenal does not have an experienced striker in their squad, they have the ability to break Real Madrid's weak defense.

I don’t think Arsenal will lose as many are expecting, and I don’t equally think they can defeat Real Madrid easily same as Madrid to defeat Arsenal easily. It will be a normal match with good number of goals, both Arsenal and Real Madrid can emerge as winners, but I have the same rating for both teams.

Both Arsenal and Real Madrid are strong teams. And both have the ability to win the match. I am waiting to see the match strategy and formation of both teams. The team that has a good match strategy, can identify the weaknesses of the opponent, will win. But there is no chance to predict this match for sure. The chances of winning for both teams are 50-50

Arsenal is in their best form in this Champions League.

I'm expecting shocking results tonight in this match. It has been long when these two met and at this moment I found it difficult to predict it but fear enough I considered Arsenal to win due to many factors, firstly they are the host and again their current performance in this competition. I also agree with you regarding Real Madrid performance, almost five players are will be absent which also reduces their chances of winning. When it comes to Champions League Real Madrid have so many ways to surprise their opponent even though some of their important players are absent, among all the competitions they played Champions League is the only one that they usually have their own way no matter how the situation is, they are gifted with that experience when it comes to Champions League.

[Jegileman]

They will definitely feel their absence because they should have responded to Real Madrid's weak defense with quality attackers. An exciting match awaits us now, with no one knowing who will win.

I think Real Madrid are also having quite a number of players also injured, so that makes them to be levelled and on the same scale on who gets to win the match. It is going to be an entertaining match tonight as I see both teams not going to take it lightly on each other. One team trying to prove they’re still the best in the champions league despite having a rough time to reach this stage while the other team also showing their confidence in themselves to win against and eliminate the defending champions. No team can be looked down on in this match, the better and most qualitative team gets to win tonight.

I think Arsenal have a point to claim today, they will have to try to keep their unbeaten record against Real Madrid because their squad isn’t that bad to lose anyhow to Real Madrid because they have good defenders that can stop Real Madrid attackers; therefore, we can’t easily look down on Arsenal in this match because they can surprise us today especially as they will be playing at the Emirate Stadium tonight.

You for sure must be an Arsenal fan to have this much confidence in them to be able to pull through in this game. So much confidence that you feel they won’t by any chance lose the match and at worst is a draw they’ll get in this match. I can’t dispute your claim though, Arsenal are not that bad and they will show their best in today’s match like never before since the champions league competition begins.

[l99l]

A huge match Real Madrid and Arsenal match will start soon. Arsenal will go to the field with the confidence of being the home team, I think the match will be very competitive.
There is good and bad news in Arsenal, while Bukayo Saka's return from injury is very good for them to be ready for this match, the defense is missing an important player, Gabriel's absence will create weakness in the defense.
