UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Arsenal certainly have fast players and a fast game, but don't be mistaken, Bayern Munich is no exception. Both teams have similar playing styles and arguably equally strong squads. So this match will be a tight one.

Last season, Arsenal couldn't match Bayern Munich's game, which prevented them from advancing to the next round. This season, I just hope Arsenal can put up a good fight against Bayern. A draw is fine, but a win would be extraordinary. Honestly Arsenal are in good form right now but Bayern Munich are far better.
Furthermore Bayern Munich is somewhat unique in its strategy. The placement of players like Kane, who was once used as an AMF, will be a hidden weapon for Bayern Munich, and Arsenal this season has almost equal strength in every line. I wonder who will emerge from the intense pressure in this game.

But one thing is for sure Arsenal must be wary of Kane because he is a dangerous player. Even when Kane was playing in EPL, Kane always scored against the Gunners. So if Arsenal want to win they must be closely guarded by Saliba so that Kane cannot score a goal, and Arsenal must take the lead first if they want to win against Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich has some sort of great situation for the team and played amazingly this season, fast or slow it doesn't matter the difference is the result and Bayern Munich is getting that type of result which should be very important for the game. Obviously Bayern Munich is a great team and Arsenal is also a great team as well and the game will be very important.

Doesn't mean we are going to see this type of result situation but for the game itself Arsenal needs to realize they are facing the biggest team they may face all season long and that means we are not going to see this be all that complicated at all. Focus on the good part and we can do a lot better and get the result you want to get and get out of this game, rest are more important.

That game is really hard to predict I don't really know which of them to give winning either Ajax or Benfica the fact is the better side for that day will definitely win the game because I'm not really seeing a draw in that game there must be a win be it Ajax or Benfica one team will win had it been this was before Ajax I'd say it's a straight winning for Ajax but this Ajax is the weaker version of those days Ajax so I can't really tell whom to win, but if I'm to predict I'd like to give Benfica a win or draw because they seems to be some how favorite for the game or Ajax can use home advantage, it's just a complicated game so anyone can win.

I will prefer to make Benfica the favourite for this game, Ajax has been soo poor with their performance enough to make me not want to trust them enough, even Benfica has mostly been a team that does not pose weakness, so I think even the Ajax of before would find it difficult around them. Now that Benfica is amongst the average teams in the champions league, most obviously they may have the most dominance in this fixture but let me not undermine Ajax just too much.

[Fara Chan]

First of all, both teams had never won or drawn a game since the start of the season, so it will be very hard for us to choose the best team to win that game. Because if you ask me who I think will win that game, it will definitely be Ajax, or it will end in a draw. But I don’t think Benfica can win. A home game for Ajax will be a bit hard, as Ajax will not like to be disappointed. So the main concern is, no matter what happens, one of the teams might get 3 points, but if they share their first 1 point each, that is just the fact.

Usually, when two bottom-of-the-table teams meet, they'll play their best to get three points, so the match could be intense, and there's also a possibility of a draw, as both teams will be trying to win. However, this time, I think I'm more confident in Benfica's performance, even though the match is at Ajax's home ground. Interestingly, both teams haven't earned a single point in the Champions League this season, having played four matches so far.

The match between Ajax vs benfica is going to be very interesting. Because both these teams have not been able to earn any points in this Champions league so far. They have lost all four matches in the hampions League. So in this match, either team will open  their points account. Ajax is in a very bad form  this  season. Benfica has also lost all four of their matches, but they are still in a slightly better position than Ajax. But this match is Ajax's home match. So it  is difficult to consider the favorite team. My guess is that the match will be a draw. The match is likely to end in 1-1.

The remaining four matches are a formality for Ajax and Benfica after failing to pick up any points in their previous matches. Even if one of these teams manages to win the match, the result will not change the situation because it is very likely that they will lose points again in the next match.
In my opinion, the chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very small due to not being able to compete with other teams. Actually, Ajax and Benfica are regular teams that qualify for the Champions League, but their performance this season is very bad, even worse than other weak teams.

Ajax and Benfica have no chance of being in the top 16 of the table. Both teams' performances  are very bad. Neither team has managed to score any points yet. I have seen both teams' performances. Both  teams are in very bad form. So there is no chance that they will win in the next four matches. Especially this season , Ajax's defenders have  the weakest performance. The team has conceded 14 goals in just 4 matches. More interestingly, they have scored only 1 goal in 4 matches. So it is almost certain that Benfica and Ajax will be at the bottom of the points table.

[Velvet78]

The Ajax vs. Benfica match will take place in the next few weeks. There's still about two weeks from now.

This match will indeed be very difficult to predict.

Yeah it will be very difficult because two horrible teams are going to face each other.    But we can look at it from a positive side. One of them is going to get their first points at least!

Currently bookmakers are favouring Benfica to win. It's like 2.01 against 3.70 now. I think the same though. Ajax's defending is even worse than Benfica. There is a good opportunity for Mourinho to take a breath a little in the Champions League.

[Fuso.hp]

That's the most interesting thing about Arsenal's fast game, it's hard for their opponents to hold back, from what we see Arsenal lacks defenders so they have to be driven by fast play or unexpected counter-attacks.
I admit Arsenal still looks strong in the Champions League and not for the domestic league. The international break is over, it's likely that many players' performance will decline, plus there are injured players. Hopefully that doesn't happen so that all competitions will be interesting and Arsenal is better off focusing on the Champions League.

Arsenal have to play a game like this, they can't afford to do anything else and they know it well, that's why they base their entire game on speed and that's what they always do, clearly these players are rockets but they get tired easily, they have to see what happens when they face a technical team

Arsenal best playing team now are mostly the defenders and I’m surprised someone is seeing the defense team as a weak one for the gunners, the surprising part now is Arsenal dominating more in the premier league compared to champions league definitely if they should drop the premier league and focus only on champions league they might miss out another opportunity winning the title. Let’s watch out what’s next because I predict the gunners are not so weak to miss out the champions league race now maybe afterwards they might face the desired title I think Arsenal facing Bayern next will be a tough match.

Arsenal is undoubtedly a strong team this season. They have maintained consistent performance in the English Premier League and have also maintained consistent performance in the Champions League so far. Arsenal has more points than all other teams in the Premier League and they are gradually increasing this point gap. On the other hand, if we look at the Champions League matches, we will see that Arsenal has won all four matches there. Arsenal will definitely not choose any one of these two competitions, but they will try to maintain consistent performance in the English Premier League and also maintain consistent performance in the Champions League.

However, I think they have the highest chances of winning the English Premier League title this season. They have the potential for the Champions League, but they still have to face many difficult teams in the Champions League, if they make a mistake there, they may be eliminated from this tournament.

First of all, both teams had never won or drawn a game since the start of the season, so it will be very hard for us to choose the best team to win that game.

Interestingly, both teams haven't earned a single point in the Champions League this season, having played four matches so far.

For what I predicted in this game, is for Benfica to get a win or a draw even though they are playing at Ajax home, I believe that Benfica will be victorious in this game of wich they need that 3 points to move up in the table, I know that Ajax is currently looking for a point too, because they have not recorded any valuable play or points this season of the champions league, well let's see what will happen in that game, for which ever team that will get the point will come out victorious. And as we can see that, bot team will fight for that win. There State have been so poor to even give any accurate predictions, but I believe if Benfica didn't get a win in this game, it will definitely be a draw or both team to score that will lead to a draw and that is just it.

[Nightwatchmare]

The match between Ajax vs Benfica in the UEFA Champions League will start in a few days. I don't know which team will win this match. If we look at the points table of the two teams, the two teams are almost on an equal footing. The team that can do better will win, and if the teams perform equally, the match will be a draw.

In their last five matches, Ajax has only won once, while Benfica has only lost once in their last five matches. Therefore, there's a chance Benfica can win again at Ajax's home ground in their next Champions League match. However, each team still has plenty of time to prepare optimally, as their match will take place in 12 days, so there's also a possibility for Ajax. However, I still have more confidence in Benfica because they have consistently looked better than Ajax, even though they are both ranked lower in the Champions League standings.

That game is really hard to predict I don't really know which of them to give winning either Ajax or Benfica the fact is the better side for that day will definitely win the game because I'm not really seeing a draw in that game there must be a win be it Ajax or Benfica one team will win had it been this was before Ajax I'd say it's a straight winning for Ajax but this Ajax is the weaker version of those days Ajax so I can't really tell whom to win, but if I'm to predict I'd like to give Benfica a win or draw because they seems to be some how favorite for the game or Ajax can use home advantage, it's just a complicated game so anyone can win.

Some gamblers are the reason why they lose their bets sometimes because they know that a particular game is hard for them to predict the outcome. Instead of leaving the game without adding it to their bet slips, they will blindly predict any option they think the game will play, and they will lose their bets in the end. Since you know that Ajax vs Benfica game is hard to predict, you should just walk away without adding it to your bet slip so that you will not use your own hand to cut your bet slip, because Ajax vs Benfica game is really hard to predict.

Real Madrid have been managing to win the CL every other year recently. Do you have an expectation from Xabi Alonso to keep this going in this season? In his first year already?

For now all I see is they are performing better in the La Liga. You must have watched them against Liverpool. What a terrible performance that was... They still have 9 points of course. League phase can also be tricky so let's see their further stage performances.

Ancelotti had a boring game in the La Liga for example but he was really successful in the CL anyway. He won this trophy 3 times with Real Madrid.

Ajax has actually seen a decline in performance based on their last five matches, where they have suffered three defeats and even one draw. And they only managed one victory in the Eredivisie last month. But Benfica's performance seems to be better than Ajax's, where Benfica has actually won three matches and even drawn one in their last five matches. And Benfica only suffered one defeat this month when they faced Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. So I personally prefer to predict Benfica as the winner for this upcoming match. Both teams actually still have one domestic match before they meet. And I am sure my prediction will be even more accurate if Ajax continues to show poor performance when they meet Excelsior in the domestic league. And I see that Ajax has been conceding too many goals in every game they've played recently. So I personally predict that Benfica will most likely score a lot of goals in this match or even at least 2 goals.

Ajax and Benfica will be an uninteresting match, one I should probably ignore. No one expects much from this team and I wouldn't bet on a UCL opener with a team like them either. The fact that neither Benfica nor Ajax have tasted victory in the UCL suggests that the quality of both teams is far below par.

Looking at their current positions, it is safe to say that they are the quickest to be eliminated.

Real Madrid have been managing to win the CL every other year recently. Do you have an expectation from Xabi Alonso to keep this going in this season? In his first year already?

Real Madrid have a tradition of winning the Champions League. They have won it 15 times so far. This season, under Alonso coaching leadership, the team has not been doing very well and has not been playing badly at all. I expected a better Real Madrid team from Alonso but I think he is still on the right track. They are currently at the top of La Liga but have not been able to reach a good position in the Premier League and Champions League. I admire Xabi Alonso experience and skills and he may surprise more than one in his first year.

[Lida93]

Ajax is the worst team the champions league has at the moment, they have no wins at all and they are very fragile, there is no hope of winning for them in champions league matches, except against teams below them, Benfica is a team that has the same fate in the champions league, and now they meet, there is no motivation to continue in the champions league, but at least not being the bottom position is the best choice in this match.

Both will be fighting hard for points so as not to be too humiliated in the champions league, it's quite a shame not to have any points from the 8 matches they have to do in the champions league, a draw is very possible, but I think that this match Ajax can win it because they have the home advantage.

Ajax performance in the UCL this season happens to be the worst in recent times and this is not surprising to me because the club's hierarchy has failed to in classy players but rather rely on young players without experience and at such the team continues to struggle as a result of the inexperience of the players not only in the UCL but also in the Eredivisie where they have conceded several losses in the hand of some of their local rivals, the club's system of selling their best players has being the major problem which continues to affect the team's performance.

[Adbitco]

First of all, both teams had never won or drawn a game since the start of the season, so it will be very hard for us to choose the best team to win that game. Because if you ask me who I think will win that game, it will definitely be Ajax, or it will end in a draw. But I don’t think Benfica can win. A home game for Ajax will be a bit hard, as Ajax will not like to be disappointed. So the main concern is, no matter what happens, one of the teams might get 3 points, but if they share their first 1 point each, that is just the fact.

It's surprising to me that both teams are still on zero points after 4 matches played and even more shocking that Mourinho will play 3 matches with Benfica and fail to get a single point from those 3 matches. Mourinho has gradually slipped off the rader of coaches that can make things happen, but he still is a legend though. As for Ajax, I heard they were about to change coach, I don't know if they have done it, I'm not following them so I don't have that very information. If they have, then it will be good for them. I believe if Ajax happen to get a new coach before the match, the manager will be able to edge out Benfica, it's just a feeling that I have.

You just recounted history which we know but that is a record and a reminder to anyone that will want to argue that, but Realmadrid last was full of unexpected performance,  they have improved this season which is why they are at the top position of their league table but how do we classify Realmadrid in the UEFA champions League competition, although I will say the have been in their best performance but I will be honest, I don't see Realmadrid as a team that will go far in the UEFA champions League, they have just faced Liverpool which is one of the big teams and they not even in their good form but Realmadrid got thrased by them, don't we think that Realmadrid may not withstand other big teams that are in their good shape when they meet.

Comparing the defensive levels of Benfica and Ajax is quite easy if you look at the number of goals conceded. And in this regard, Benfica is indeed superior. Ajax's defense is truly the worst so far. It's rare to see a team concede so many goals in four matches in the Champions League. 14 goals in four matches seems excessive.

So, betting on Benfica could be very profitable. I personally haven't decided whether to pick either team to win this match or not. But the positive side is that one team will get their first point. Or perhaps the two teams will share the points. 

[FanEagle]

Arsenal is undoubtedly a strong team this season. They have maintained consistent performance in the English Premier League and have also maintained consistent performance in the Champions League so far. Arsenal has more points than all other teams in the Premier League and they are gradually increasing this point gap.

Arsenal will definitely not choose any one of these two competitions, but they will try to maintain consistent performance in the English Premier League and also maintain consistent performance in the Champions League.

However, I think they have the highest chances of winning the English Premier League title this season. They have the potential for the Champions League, but they still have to face many difficult teams in the Champions League, if they make a mistake there, they may be eliminated from this tournament.

I would guess this whole "focus on X competition" thing is something from the old days. Todays footballers, while still getting injured due to increased number of games, have much better physical ability than the previous generations.

I have watched games from 2000 and before, and I remember clearly the games and how they were played and it was while still pace and better physicality than an average person, it wasn't as great as this and was mainly about people with talents. 20 or 30 years later now, we are seeing players are in the 1% physical condition of human population, and that makes it a lot better with technology and improvements on health and training. Which means, they should be able to focus on two even three competitions.

Ajax's attack is also very weak. Benfica has defensive weaknesses, but their attack is better. They have no trouble scoring. Benfica will capitalize on their home advantage and beat Ajax. Even a draw would be a surprise.
Benfica has a poor Champions League fixture list.

I'll probably bet on Benfica. I hope they have a good chance of winning. My biggest hope is that the odds are worth the risk.

Things may not have gone their way in their match against Liverpool, but Real Madrid is still one of the strongest teams in Europe. The Spanish team lost in England, but they don't always get results like that. We all saw how well they played against Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona is currently one of the best teams in Europe. I think every team has bad games, and Real Madrid's match against Liverpool was one of their worst.

The fact that neither Benfica nor Ajax have tasted victory in the UCL suggests that the quality of both teams is far below par.

A true battle of losers. Benfica is in third place in the national championship, while Ajax is in fourth – a total disaster for the multiple champions. An interesting fact: if they draw, it will likely mean official relegation from the tournament, as last year's minimum threshold for reaching the top 24 was 11 points. It's safe to assume that even if a miracle happens and either Ajax or Benfica win their remaining games, 10 points still won't be enough.
