UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[ShowOff]

Between Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen, I don’t even know which team to favour in this match because it is going to be an interesting match between these two clubs. Although Manchester City is not also in their best form, to me they are a little bit better than Bayer Leverkusen in performance. The same as Bayer Leverkusen, they are not in their best form, so seriously, I’m a bit confused about predicting which team will win. Maybe the home team will be the favourite in the match. Let’s see what will happen then.

For the mean time I can't differentiate between Manchester City and Leverkusen because Both teams are just trying to come back to winning ways. So I can't give any one as the favorite to win this game. Off recent these two teams have started to get back to form going into this game both teams have equal chances of winning.maybe playing at home will give Manchester City an hedge over Leverkusen other wise I don't see any difference.

In my opinion, Manchester City deserves to be considered the favorite, as they have better squad depth and more experience, coupled with the fact that Pep Guardiola team has won three of their four League Phase matches. In addition, Manchester City will be playing at home, which will surely give them greater confidence to dominate the match.

Of course, surprises can happen, as Leverkusen also has a chance to secure all three points. At a glance, this is a tough match for both teams, and each will make a strong effort to defeat the other. Leverkusen really need three points to avoid being thrown out of the play off zone, while Manchester City wants to secure their position in order to finish in the top eight of the standings.

And it looks like you also have to see another interesting match between Man City vs Leverkusen.

I don't think too highly of this match because for me the result is quite clear where 1x2 for Manchester City looks very real in this match.
Not that I underestimate Leverkusen because their form has also improved a little after Ten Hag's initial chaos at the start of the season, but when facing Manchester City with its absolute power at the Etihad Stadium, it is clearly not something that is fun for Leverkusen.

Haaland is also in very good form at the moment where even he is still a fairly productive goal machine for Manchester City at the moment so it would be very difficult for me if I was not at Manchester City because their probability is now quite feasible and I'm pretty sure 3 points could have been obtained easily in this match.

[hyudien]

The game between Manchester city and Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't be much interesting as anticipated, Manchester city plays possessive football and might comfortably dominate the game all through the entire match same way they did to Borussia Dortmund in one of their previous UCL encounter this season, Bayer Leverkusen isn't consistent and won't be able to withstand Manchester city even if they have the home advantage.

Right. Just look at what the bookmakers are offering.



It's as if the bookmakers are placing Man City against the bottom team in the league, so this match clearly won't be exciting. While I don't mean to underestimate Leverkusen, realistically, it's unlikely they'll pull off a surprise, especially after this match Man City will face Real Madrid, so beating Leverkusen is a must-achieve goal to maintain their chances of automatic qualification.

[bitgolden]

The Barcelona vs Chelsea match is likely to be a close one. And we might see more than 3 goals in this match. Because both teams are likely to play attacking style. Both need to win.

The chances of seeing too many goals in the Bayern Munich vs Arsenal match are low. I have seen Bayern Munich's performance against PSG. Munich performs very carefully against strong teams. There is a possibility against Arsenal as well. Kompany will apply the same match strategy. So I don't expect to see more than 2 goals in this match.

It is difficult to predict the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match. Inter Milan has won all their matches in the Champions League. But their opponents were not very strong. So I doubt whether Inter Milan will be able to play well against Atletico Madrid.

While it is true that Madrid will be the best team Inter will face so far, it is also reasonable to expect them to be not that great, after all Inter has done great since Chivu took over, and even got the leadership at Serie A at the moment, they are looking good, whereas Madrid has been not so great this season and Simeone has tried everything he can, Julian is the only player shining in that team at the moment but otherwise the team is doing worse than most years before.

This is why there is a big chance that Inter could win this game too, shouldn't be really a big shocker to anyone, looks like it's a big possibility without a doubt. I think that is why it's a smart decision to make it work one more time.

[Miles2006]

PSG-Tottenham, Atletico Madrid-Inter are two truly beautiful matches and i think they are much more exciting than Chelsea-Barcelona which is absolutely a beautiful match but PSG-Tottenham, Atletico Madrid is in my opinion the one that deserves it the most.

PSG against Tottenham is so certain, PSG have the highest possibility winning the match and Inter also might defeat Atletico, this is an easy guess yet anything can happen. Honestly looking forward to the top tough matches, this debate has been for long Chelsea and Barcelona who’s more strong in terms of winning or playing strategic obviously this fixture will end the debate, I’m not impressed with Barcelona and Chelsea performance lately so I’m certainly expecting less from both teams, the odds will be alittle tempting but difficult to predict.

The bookmarkers ain't all knowing and if I can remember vividly the odd the bookmarkers gave to feynoord last season when playing away to Manchester City was even more crazier than this but in the end I believe Manchester came out from that game the losing side so this odd doesn't determine or describe how interesting the match is going to be. I mean the feynoord game was interesting as Manchester lead and still lost from a comeback so finger 🤞 for Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester City only dominates a team that cannot build up play. We all saw how Dortmund was not composed against City, I can't be comparing them to Bayern Leverkusen. One thing I respect about Kasper Hjulmand is his patience and emphasis on starting very simply and finishing clinically.

Leverkusen will surprise you. I won't say much until then. Just expect the unexpected.

Manchester City will be playing at home against Bayer Leverkusen. As you said, Manchester City will be playing at home in this match, which may give them a better chance of winning the match, although anything can happen, and given that both clubs' performance is almost at the same level, predicting how the outcome will be is going to be difficult. Rather, just wait and see how the outcome will be.

We will see what will happen then. It seems you are giving Leverkusen a chance of winning the match also, but to me, with the way I see Bayer Leverkusen's performance and Manchester City's performance, it is really a difficult prediction, but football is full of surprises. Anything can happen till then; we will see what the outcome of the match will be.

Definitely I will say everyone have his or her own predictions to give. Don't think a team will not have a proper build up that is why they can't play, no, that is not it, at first what lead to the team not have a proper build is due to the pressing side of the other team that lead them to that condition.
Writing off Leverkusen is not right, but it is obvious that Manchester City will have the upper hand for this game, and I don't think that, Leverkusen will have much play in that game. Well as you have said, let's wait till the end of the final whistle.

Most odds are decisive, and there are sometimes it will look as if the game is completely over with coming on the pitch, base on the odds. And most at times this is where most gamblers fall short as we are going to see many, using a very huge amount of money to give Manchester City a win over Bayarn Leverkusen.
Football at times is unpredictable and odds don't explain better. Manchester City, is a team that u haven't still built that trust on them to risk my money, they have disappointed me so may times, and I don't think it will be easy for Manchester City to get a smooth win, as I know for Leverkusen to give them some pressure, even though they will later get the win.

[el kaka22]

While it is true that every game is great, Chelsea vs Barcelona and the Arsenal vs Bayern games are the best ones to watch on overall talent of both teams combined, which is why since you can't watch every single game, it's smart to pick these games. Obviously you can select any that you want, there is no need to watch these two, it's just most peoples preference and I bet they will be the ones with the highest viewership numbers.

I think this new system of 8 games is better for viewership, not because it has two extra games in group stages, but also because we are seeing big teams face each other as well, back in the day most groups had one great team, one good team, and two smaller teams, now we see games like these.

[Mayor of ogba]

And it looks like you also have to see another interesting match between Man City vs Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen has been struggling in the Champions League, and out of the four matches they have played so far, they managed to win only one match. I don't think Bayer Leverkusen playing against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday will be interesting because Manchester City will win against Bayer Leverkusen with three goals. If Manchester City were playing against clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Bayern Munich, I would have agreed that the match would have been interesting.

A surprise is possible, Leverkusen might be struggling but, they are no small team and teams like these could be very determined in the champions league. I figure the bookmakers might have decided on these odds given the home advantage Manchester City would have. We all know how these premier league teams become very fierce in a home game against teams from a different league.

Manchester City wouldn’t loss though and the goal market might be the best way to benefit from this game.

I was very much excited to land that Manchester City would be playing against Bayern. But what happened is that I misread the words, in my head I read a Bayern Munich instead of Bayern Leverkusen. If it was against Bayern Munich it would have been a great match to watch or if it would have been against Bayer Leverkusen of Xavier Alonso, it would also have been a great match to watch but since it is against this current Bayern Leverkusen, we can be sure that Manchester City will be able to win the match and the Haaland will score nothing less than a brace.

Manchester City is so beautiful and dedicated to give up in the Champions League this season. The way things are moving some of the clubs that were inform last season have lost their forms so this is a great opportunity for pep guardiola and his boys to dominate once again in the European Champions League.

And you think Bayer Leverkusen will be able to build up play when they face Manchester City in the Champions League? Borussia Dortmund is currently performing better than Bayern Leverkusen this season, and if they can't build up play against Manchester City, I don't think Bayer Leverkusen will be able to do that against Manchester City. Don't expect any upset from Bayer Leverkusen because Manchester City will beat them easily.

Manchester City is indeed more deserving of being favored, and I think this will be an easy match for them to win. Leverkusen performance this season has been inconsistent, both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. I think there will be plenty of goals scored in this match, and it is very unlikely to end in a draw. Overall, Manchester City is in a much more advantageous position.

PSG-Tottenham, Atletico Madrid-Inter are two truly beautiful matches and i think they are much more exciting than Chelsea-Barcelona which is absolutely a beautiful match but PSG-Tottenham, Atletico Madrid is in my opinion the one that deserves it the most.

Last time PSG lost against a good side Bayern Munich if they face Tottenham they will surely get a win against them even with the number of injured players in the team. Tottenham is not a team that is usually consistent though they looked better than last season but they have come to a position where they will bow to the better team. Inter Milan VS Atletico Madrid is going to be a difficult game while Chelsea and Barcelona game should end in favour of Barcelona.

Leverkusen are still one of the big clubs in the Bundesliga but after losing several players and Xabi as a coach that made their performance decline quite drastically then in the end this will clearly be a situation where these odds look very reasonable.

Manchester City have had their problems but now they are starting to return to form which is definitely more favorable.
In addition, they are also playing at home which makes their hopes for 3 points even greater so the odds of 1.23 do not seem excessive to me for this match because after all their win rate is now much greater.
For betting I prefer bigger odds where over 3 in this match is quite possible even though the risk is still 50/50.

Inter Milan VS Atletico Madrid is going to be a difficult game while Chelsea and Barcelona game should end in favour of Barcelona.

Hopefully, this won't affect PSG's performance in the Champions League, as the loss to Bayern Munich isn't the end of the and there are still plenty of games left for PSG to capitalize on to qualify for the next round. Facing Tottenham might be the best opportunity to rebuild their confidence and get back on track, as Tottenham isn't a particularly tough opponent for PSG. For the other match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, I'd prefer the La Liga side to hold the match, and vice versa for the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, as I see both teams as more convincing.

[Rgram]

Since game is taking place at Stamford Bridge, I think I agree with you that this is likely to be a coin flip between Chelsea and Barcelona. When they played against Brugge and needed that own goal to end that match with a draw, I thought that Barcelona is not as convincing anymore as they had been earlier this year. The level of all players compared, if everyone is able to play I believe Barcelona is stronger, but all the present conditions Chelsea could win this.

Chelsea winning this game is a bit difficult for me to see seriously. Even though they are playing at home and that can give them a little advantage, I still think Barcelona will win. They almost have a complete squad right now. I think the only injured players in the Barcelona team are Ter Stegen and Gavi, unless someone else picks up an injury before the match.

On Chelsea’s side, I saw the news that Cole Palmer might miss the game, and honestly his absence will affect Chelsea a lot because he’s one of their standout players, if not their best this season. So if he doesn’t play, it will definitely weaken Chelsea to some extent. That’s why I feel Barcelona has the upper hand in this match.
