UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[barbara44]

Galatasaray's situation is entirely dependent on injuries. If injured players can't play, Galatasaray could lose to the Belgian team. I say this sincerely because they had a tough time in their last league match. If Osimhen, Singo, and Lemina recover from their injuries and can play with the team, Galatasaray has a good chance of winning. But if they don't play, the players Galatasaray recruits to replace them won't be of the same caliber.

Belgian side done good in their first game against PSV when they won after this in last 3 games they conceded 11 goals and score only 1 goal which is clearly indicating about their performance in this mega event Galatasaray is also surely facing trouble but still they are capable of scoring goals and keeping things in balance.

They needed this win because after this their few games are going to be challenging, and these points will secure their spot for next round which is important for them Osimhen have not good chances of playing in this game because they are not going to take any chance which will bring more troubles for them in coming matches. Benfica going to visit Ajax both are currently worst teams in event without any point this is going to be most probably win for Benfica which is having better squad then Ajax.

Manchester City aren't in great form right now. Last weekend's defeat against Newcastle will certainly have an impact on the team's mentality. Leverkusen, on the other hand, is also in top form, so this will be a tough match for Manchester City, even though they're playing at home.
Betting on a draw is a good option, but I prefer the BTTS option. I see Leverkusen as quite prolific scorers, and Manchester City, playing at home, will certainly play more aggressively, so there's a good chance both teams will score.

Bayer Leverkusen have no chance against Manchester City when they face each other at Etihad. Manchester city might have lost to Newcastle united but it doesn't mean that they will lose today because the team is not in bad form. A team need to be winless in up to 3 games before they will be considered as people that are not in good form. I watched the Manchester city game against Newcastle they played very well, created chances just that they couldn't score with those chances. The team were just rusty because of the international break. Against Leverkusen they are going to make amends and win the match.

Do you watch football games at all? How have you not noticed that Palmer is the outstanding player in the team and with him anything is possible. A lot of matches have been single handedly decided by Palmer, his influence is unmatched that's why Chelsea fans are all excited to see him back in training. You are not a Chelsea fan so I don't expect you to know his worth as much as the fans do. Chelsea's inconsistent form has been due to injuries and it got worse when their key player Palmer was injured.

As long as you are a football lovers that watches football, she should be aware of the influence of Cole palmer in the Chelsea team, so she doesn't necessarily have to be a chelsea fan to know that. I really don't think he might be available in this encounter against Barcelona, but anything is possible since he has resume training with the Chelsea squad, but if he is available for real, then Barcelona will know that they will also have troubles in keeping him shut.

The same Barcelona that got thrashed by Sevilla. The Same Barcelona that barely got a draw in the hands of Club Brugge a Belgium league team that even a struggling Atlanta team was able to win. Same Barcelona has lost to PSG, a team that was beaten by Chelsea in the club world cup final. Last season Barcelona was good but they are not in the same form this season.

I wouldn't be saying this because every game comes with it own challenges that each team may face, but 9ja amaka is totally wrong if she thinks that Chelsea is an easy opponent for Barcelona, she should just check their head to head record, then she will understand why Chelsea have always been a nightmare to Barcelona, even when messi and Ronaldinho was at the club.

Fixtures and odds for tomorrow's round:

Ajax x4.00 Vs Benfica x1.88; Draw x3.75
Galatasaray x1.67 Vs Union St. Gilloise x4.60; Draw x4.20
Bodø/Glimt x3.15 Vs Juventus x2.15; Draw x3.75
Borussia Dortmund x1.84 Vs Villarreal x4.20; Draw x3.80
Chelsea x2.38 Vs Barcelona x2.65; Draw x4.00
Manchester City x1.23 Vs Bayer Leverkusen x12.00; Draw x7.00
Marseille x2.85 Vs Newcastle United x2.50; Draw x3.35
Napoli x1.30 Vs Qarabağ x9.50; Draw x5.75
Slavia Prague x3.00 Vs Athletic Bilbao x2.40; Draw x3.30

I think Benfica and Galatasaray could be good picks. Ajax is in a massive crisis, last weekend they lost another game at home to a team from the bottom of the Dutch league, so I don't expect they will be able to make any significant improvements in such a short time.
Galatasaray are always super dangerous when playing at home and they are ranked higher than USG, so they should end up with 3 points.

The biggest game is, of course, Chelsea Vs Barcelona. I see it as an 'anything-can-happen' type of game, so I would abstain from betting on this one.

I don't think betting on Benfica would be a good choice in this upcoming match. Ajax is indeed in very poor form right now, but the same is true for Benfica, and Ajax, playing at home, will certainly have more motivation. So I think anything is possible in this match, and I wouldn't bet on either team winning.

Galatasaray, playing at home, certainly has a high percentage of winning, especially since they are slightly stronger than Union St. Gilloise, so I wouldn't hesitate to bet on a Galatasaray win.

Borussia Dortmund is also worth betting on, as they have started to improve this season, and Villarreal haven't performed well in the Champions League this season.

As for the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, it's certainly a tough match for both teams, but I'm still optimistic that Barcelona can win, even though they'll be playing at Chelsea's home ground.

The odds for Manchester are too low, so I decided not to bet on them, even though I don’t doubt their win. Instead, I’ve already placed the bet on Galatasaray. Oodds of 1.77 don’t look bad considering Osimhen will play. I’m expecting him to score at least once with the final score being 2–1 or even 3–1. As for Chelsea vs Barcelona, it’s too risky to bet. I’m not optimistic about Barcelona since Chelsea will be playing at home.

[Obulis]

I wouldn't have much faith in Galatasaray winning without Victor Osimhen in the Champions League; they might draw. Victor Osimhen scored 6 goals in 3 Champions League games for Galatasaray, who played 4 games and scored 8 goals, meaning he scored more than half of all Galatasaray's goals, a very relevant fact that cannot be ignored.

It is true that it is difficult for Galatasaray to perform well in the Champions league without Osimhen. But Galatasaray's opponent can not be considered strong. If galatasaray's performance is stable, then I would say that it is  possible for them to win this match without Osimhen.

Galatasaray will face union St. Gilloise in this  match. Although this team is at the top of the table in the Juplier pro league, their performance in the Champions league is weak. In the last  three matches of the champions league, they have lost by big margins against Newcastle , Inter milan and Atletico ,adrid. In these three matches , Saint Gilloise has  conceded 11 goals and scored only one goal.

Very weak performance indeed by Union Saint Gilloise although the champions they met (Newcastle, inter Milan and Atletico Madrid) seems stronger
To give a home win to Galatasaray against union Saint Gilloise is not a bad idea under 3 goals of 2-1.
And losing this match against Galatasaray means four straight losses.

For today's results, Barcelona are looking like favorites but we can't underrate Chelsea.

Chelsea may be disadvantaged by injuries to their key players, but they have proven that they can also perform strongly with the available players. They have been building good teamwork. 
Barcelona is also a strong team, but I am confident that Chelsea will not be easy to beat. If the match turns out to be tough, with both teams possibly inclined to hold back and play more defensively, the game might not result in any goals.

Only Palmer, a crucial player for Chelsea, is injured, but that's not a serious issue when it comes to the Chelsea squad. When Chelsea beat Burnley in the Premier League, Caicedo was not used at all by Maresca in preparation for the Barcelona match. Garnacho was also on the bench. This shows that Chelsea have prepared their strength for the match against Barcelona.

Barcelona is a strong team, but at Stamford Bridge, I think beating Chelsea will be no easy task, even if Barcelona appears with a full squad.
In my analysis, this match will feature goals from both Chelsea and Barcelona. That's the difference with you.

[SFR10]

Instead, it might be interesting to bet on a draw in Manchester City match against Leverkusen. In my opinion, there won't be many goals scored, Leverkusen won't give Manchester City many chances.

I wouldn't be so sure about that... Man City was unlucky to lose the previous game in the EPL, but considering that Leverkusen has a few injured players ^{[Man City also has a few, but they do have a better squad depth]} and a suspended player, I'm expecting to see a similar result to their game against PSG, so I'm going for a Man City win ^{[over 3.5 with BTTS]}.

That's a strong possibility, so betting on both teams to score or over is the best bet in this match.

Chelsea and Barcelona are two of Europe's top teams right now, so there's prestige in both of them for this upcoming match, However Chelsea is slightly favored because they're playing at Stamford Bridge, their home ground, and the betting exchanges have slightly lower odds for Chelsea, but I don't think they can beat Barcelona. A draw is possible, but betting on a draw is quite risky.

Bayer Leverkusen have no chance against Manchester City when they face each other at Etihad. Manchester city might have lost to Newcastle united but it doesn't mean that they will lose today because the team is not in bad form. A team need to be winless in up to 3 games before they will be considered as people that are not in good form. I watched the Manchester city game against Newcastle they played very well, created chances just that they couldn't score with those chances. The team were just rusty because of the international break. Against Leverkusen they are going to make amends and win the match.

Leverkusen are unlikely to  get points against Manchester city at the Etihad. Manchester City's performance in the Premier League has been inconsistent, but they are strong in the champions league. And Manchester City will not  want to lose points in any way in their home matches. Also, leverkusen's performance in the champions league has not been strong. And the  team's biggest weakness is their defense. Leverkusen has scored 6 goals and conceded  10 goals in 4 matches  in the Champions league. It is difficult to perform well against City with a weak defense.

[Abdulzuruku01]

Here is today's fixtures:


I think the game of the night is Chelsea - Barcelona.    Palmer is still injured which is a big loss for Chelsea. I think Barcelona won't lose and a win is also possible even though they aren't the favoured side by bookies.

Yes, the Chelsea vs Barcelona match is indeed a big match and the most anticipated by football fans. Losing Palmer is indeed bad news for Chelsea, but that doesn't mean Barcelona can easily beat Chelsea because Chelsea will play at home and still have several key players who can threaten Barcelona's goal. Barcelona needs to be alert and must focus throughout the match if they don't lose points at Chelsea's home because if Barcelona's defense is even slightly careless, Chelsea can destroy Barcelona's dreams because Chelsea is very fast when building counterattacks.

Pedri is also important and Barcelona will feel his absence, just as Chelsea will feel Cole Palmer. In my opinion, the equation is balanced, neither team will make excuses for any player’s absence. This game won’t be easy for either team, especially Barcelona, because playing at Stamford Bridge will motivate Chelsea more and we know how Chelsea used to play against strong teams, even the head to head record between Chelsea and Barcelona is always competitive.

So far this season both teams performances haven’t been strong, but their last home matches where Chelsea win over Burnley 2-0 and Barcelona 4-0 victory over Atlético Club show today’s match will be challenging. So my prediction for this game is 50-50 chance.

If it were xabis Leverkusen, I could say there is possible chance for them but the current Leverkusen against the current Manchester City is like two worlds apart, Leverkusen should just try not to concede too many goals, Manchester City in their previous game has shown so much form and resilience even with the little struggle they had at some point, but Leverkusen do not seem to me like they will contend better but then Manchester City should not take them for granted either.

[Luzin]

So far this season both teams performances haven’t been strong, but their last home matches where Chelsea win over Burnley 2-0 and Barcelona 4-0 victory over Atlético Club show today’s match will be challenging. So my prediction for this game is 50-50 chance.

This is realistic logic, but I'm pessimistic about Chelsea winning. Barcelona is a strong team, they're not under pressure. Chelsea's current form is still considered unstable. So I think Barcelona must score early to break down the Chelsea players' mentality. But Chelsea has always been characterized by inconsistent players who don't appear in matches. This situation certainly needs to be watched out for, as Chelsea could pull off a surprise and win against PSG.

Ummmm you are right bro. This is not Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen. Firstly Alonso is now the coach of Madrid. Secondly Leverkusen has sold important players in their squad. And this is another reason for Leverkusen's inconsistent performance. This team's performance in the Champions League is weak. And this is why Leverkusen is unlikely to get points against Manchester City. We consider the home team Manchester City as the favorite. If Leverkusen wins this match, a lot of gamblers will lose money.

[pewboy]

The Barcelona vs Chelsea match in this round of the UEFA Champions League will be the most exciting and exciting among football fans, but we can see that in this high-profile match, the Blues' attacking midfielder Cole Palma will not be against the Blaugrana and the team will play without him. Looking at the XI of the Spanish club vs the PL club, everyone can speculate which team will be the favorite, but for now, we are not interested in betting statistics, the performance statistics between them should be valued. The Spanish giants were able to color the game against the Athletic Bilbao club and they won 4-0, while the English Premier League giants Chelsea plunged Burnley into despair yesterday.  Enzo Maresca's team seems well-planned to us, so FC Barcelona will find the EPL giants' fast-paced football a little difficult to handle tomorrow, as it is their UCL away match.

I will definitely see it and i think it will be exciting for me too. It reminds me of times gone by when you could do a lot with all those great players. The emotion is always sky-high and it reminds me of everything that happened a while ago. i am really happy to relive those emotions.

Both Barcelona and Chelsea are on the points table with 7 points from 4 matches. So getting points in this match is very important for both teams. I agree with you that Chelsea's performance is still a bit erratic. However, they have won their last three matches in the Premier League and Chelsea are now in second place in the table.

Barcelona is in a good position. We saw a very good performance from Barcelona in the last match. More importantly, Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski are all in the Barcelona squad. Also, Olmo and Garcia are back from injuries. Hansi Flick can form his best XI now. And for this reason alone, I consider Barcelona as the favorite. If Barcelona has a Lewandowski- Raphinha-Yamal trio in attack, it will be difficult for any strong squad to resist this team.

Fixtures and odds for tomorrow's round:

Ajax x4.00 Vs Benfica x1.88; Draw x3.75
Galatasaray x1.67 Vs Union St. Gilloise x4.60; Draw x4.20
Bodø/Glimt x3.15 Vs Juventus x2.15; Draw x3.75

I think Benfica and Galatasaray could be good picks. Ajax is in a massive crisis, last weekend they lost another game at home to a team from the bottom of the Dutch league, so I don't expect they will be able to make any significant improvements in such a short time.
Galatasaray are always super dangerous when playing at home and they are ranked higher than USG, so they should end up with 3 points.

The biggest game is, of course, Chelsea Vs Barcelona. I see it as an 'anything-can-happen' type of game, so I would abstain from betting on this one.

I don't think betting on Benfica would be a good choice in this upcoming match. Ajax is indeed in very poor form right now, but the same is true for Benfica, and Ajax, playing at home, will certainly have more motivation. So I think anything is possible in this match, and I wouldn't bet on either team winning.

Galatasaray, playing at home, certainly has a high percentage of winning, especially since they are slightly stronger than Union St. Gilloise, so I wouldn't hesitate to bet on a Galatasaray win.

Borussia Dortmund is also worth betting on, as they have started to improve this season, and Villarreal haven't performed well in the Champions League this season.

As for the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, it's certainly a tough match for both teams, but I'm still optimistic that Barcelona can win, even though they'll be playing at Chelsea's home ground.

The odds for Manchester are too low, so I decided not to bet on them, even though I don’t doubt their win. Instead, I’ve already placed the bet on Galatasaray. Oodds of 1.77 don’t look bad considering Osimhen will play. I’m expecting him to score at least once with the final score being 2–1 or even 3–1. As for Chelsea vs Barcelona, it’s too risky to bet. I’m not optimistic about Barcelona since Chelsea will be playing at home.

Maybe you have forgotten that only victor Osimhen can not do everything so he will definitely need help though he's a great influence, he knows how to score but regardless of Ajax form I think they still have more experience when it comes to champions league than Galatasaray though Ajax for reduced so badly to the point they barely win match this period.  As of Manchester city I don't really know what to talk about them because they will be good now and the next minute they are playing rubbish, imagine the defeat from Newcastle an opportunity for them to maintain their position but they joke with it, I won't be surprised if Bayern Leverkusen defeat them tonight.

[Promocodeudo]

Chelsea vs Barcelona is the most interesting game today in this uefa champions league round of games, since it's going to be a clash of the Titans, though am expecting Chelsea to win this game because they are very good at playing matches like this, and by looking at the head2head record against Barcelona in their last five meetings, they have won twice, and Barcelona have won only once, then they drew twice, so it's not going to be an easy game for both teams, but I believe that Chelsea is a team that knows how to win games like this, that's why they might surprise Barcelona and take advantage of their porous backline.

Then another game that is going to be interesting is the ajax vs benfica game, two horrible teams coming up against each other, though am favouring benfica to win due to Jose Mourinho effects, but it's going to be a very close contested affair.

Very interesting as you said but how sure are we, we do know that any match that involves Chelsea and Barcelona use to be a very strong one as such but there many new players in both teams, do we still expect the to be exactly the same way as it does before, am not doubting anything but I will watch out to see if there will be a difference today, Chelsea, there no much difference between both teams in their various league side, and I think many bettors might be considering to bet on goals here than betting on any of them to win, yea, Chelsea are always lucky in games of this nature, I have nothing much to say for now until the finish playing the match, but despite how unpredictable and unclear Barcelona defense is,I won't take flick boy for granted.

This week's highly anticipated match for football fans will be Barcelona vs. Chelsea in the Champions League. You're right, this crucial match reminds us of the past, when these two teams met in the Champions League. The desire for revenge will be realized. I'll be watching this match, with Chelsea fit and Barcelona still lacking key players. Who will have the upper hand in this match?

[dollyamo]

Galatasaray will play at home against Union Saint-Gilloise this evening. I thought we would win this match, but because of the injuries in our squad, it will now be a difficult game for us.
We have important absences such as Osimhen, Yunus Akgün, Lemina, and Singo. If we can win this match with so many missing players, it would be an amazing result for us.

Well, without a main striker like Victor Osimhen, how will Galatasaray play and win?
I'm sorry for this stroke of bad luck, Galatasaray is the loser, but so is football in general, seeing a match that wasn't top-notch. We can only wait when they return

[fuguebtc]

Barcelona is a strong team, but at Stamford Bridge, I think beating Chelsea will be no easy task, even if Barcelona appears with a full squad.
In my analysis, this match will feature goals from both Chelsea and Barcelona. That's the difference with you.

It might be difficult to win at Chelsea's home. Chelsea have won two matches in the Champions League and both were chelsea's home matches. Chelsea have dropped points in both matches...

But Chelsea have failed to play well in their home matches in the lremier League. They have managed to get only 10 points in 6  home matches. So is it fair to call chelsea the favourites just by considering the home matches ? Barcelona is not a weak team either. Also, Barcelona's squad is quite strong now. Several  key players have returned to the squad after recovering from injuries. Lewandowski and Yamal are likely to be in the starting XI. And we will see raphinha in the squad in the second half. Even though  it is Chelsea's home match, I would like to keep Barcelona ahead. My prediction is that the match will be drawn 1- 1 or Barcelona will win.
