UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Mandoy]

The Premier League matches are more important for Arsenal now. Arsenal could not win against Liverpool in the last match of the Premier League. Arsenal will want to continue the winning streak in the next matches. They will definitely play at full strength against Manchester United. So it is difficult to say what Arteta's strategy will be in the match against Inter Milan. Since even if Arsenal loses in this match, they will not face any loss. And even if they draw, they will be ahead of Munich by a point. So Arsenal may want to play defensively and share the points in the match. Also, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win at Inter Milan's home.

I also think that Arsenal are focused on what they have to do in the league and the Premier League is certainly tougher, but i think they will certainly try in the Champions League too and they want to make a good impression there too, i don't think they will hold back.

For now in the world of soccer, i don't think there is any team as consistent as Arsenal for now in all rectification, since the starting of the season arsenal have been very consistent and have never lost form in the champion champions league till now. If because of the competitiveness in the English premier league is the reason for writing Arsenal off as title contenders, i think you are very wrong as they are willing to give up on the premier league trophy just to become the champions of European football this season. Arsenal's consistency in the champions league this season is far much better than in the premier league, i don't know if its because of the c in the premier league than the champions league

I also concur that the premier league is very rigorous, yet I do not believe that Arsenal will take the champions league lightly. Arteta understands that the successful teams in Europe are also characterized by the success in the Champions League, and the Arsenal performance in the season reveals the true maturity and constancy. Arsenal can afford the drop-in experience with challenging league games ahead and remain competitive on both fronts due to the squad depth. It will not be easy to play at the home of Inter, not because Arsenal will just sit back and watch. They might be mindful in the tactical approach, but they will still seek a positive outcome to keep the momentum going and provide a bold statement in Europe.

I agree with you that the game would've attracted a different momentum if it was elimination-bound. Arsenal who are yet to lose a game in the competition this season are already like many have suggested will be more concerned with league games since they're trying to get increase their chances of winning the league but that I don't think will make them see this fixture as a less important game. At the end, I'm expecting strong and quality performance from both teams.

Arsenal are aiming for the Championship with their eyes on the UCL, if they can truly win the league, FINALLY after several failed attempts, they must consider themselves lucky.
If the UCL also wins this season, many great teams will have to change their minds about Arsenal, even the fans.

[KTChampions]

me too
I'm really tempted, also because PSG is doing badly, I don't see Inter ready, in Spain, bad bad see Xabi Alonso's dismissal
There aren't many teams left that are capable of winning the Champions League.
Of all of them, I think it's the most ready... the Arsenal

Arsenal - 5.00

Bayern - 5.50

City - 8.00

PSG - 8.00

Barcelona - 10.00

Real - 11.00

Liverpool - 12.00

Arsenal are indeed the bookmakers' top favorites right now. But we can say that they are on par with Bayern, thanks to the results Bayern are showing in the Bundesliga. Overall, the odds are reasonable, but I can't figure out what Liverpool is doing here? How are they better than Chelsea, which are rated at 1 to 19? Only Liverpool on this list have suffered a monstrous decline this season and have effectively already lost their chances of winning the national championship title.

We have about roughly a week or so until the UCL starts again, and just two more games until this group stage thing is over. I know it is going to be very vital two last games, but most of the big teams that I am expecting to have any chance already guaranteed their spots, which is why I highly doubt these two last games will matter that much.

We could see them do a lot better, we just need to make sure that we are seeing the teams rank better, because ranking better means you will face easier teams at first. It is still good to bet on these games, and the outcome of the league structure, but I think the best way we can move on right now would be making sure that we bet careful based on what points teams already have.

They may not change the last two games as much, but we could also see changes in direction and performance from the teams involved.

It's all true that they remained the most aggressive, but it's also true that there's never a shortage of surprises in football, especially in competitions like the UCL.
Who to bet on?

As for the championship, the probability of them getting it is already so high, meanwhile the champions league still has some uncertainties that lays ahead. Gradually, Arsenal is beginning to attract some more attention and big teams are now becoming detailed with the strategy they are going  to be using on Arsenal in other to probably not let them be their hindrance in the champions league contention this season.

The difference in the odds of Arsenal winning the Champions League is 11x with Bayern Munich who are currently in second place.
https://rollbit.com/sports?bt-path=%2Fsoccer%2Finternational%2Fuefa-champions-league-2470546796305330203

Arsenal currently looks promising with a solid squad with the game in the Premier League as well as in the Champions League especially in this tournament they have not lost for 6 matches this makes fans believe they can achieve their achievements.

On the other hand due to doubts there is no experience of winning in the Champions League, but it is not a dream that is broken just like that, who knows Arsenal can succeed for the first trophy in the UCL.

Arteta's project with Arsenal now is quite brilliant so I won't be surprised if Arsenal will be the winner.
It's only the preliminary round yet to judge which one is better completely --- in the next round it's a big challenge in the UCL.

What is the 11x difference that you are talking about?

When I check the odds on Rollbit.com, it says the odds for Arsenal to win the Champions League are 4.5 and for Bayern it is 5.5. Given the shape that Bayern is in, I don't know whether I would have placed Arsenal ahead of Bayern, but it probably has to do with the fact that Arsenal will most like finish the group stage as the overall winner and supposedly get an easier first opponent or path to the final, but that is not certain yet at all.

This talk about experience doesn't make much sense because when a team is in outstanding shape, there is no reason to believe they can't win it because of a lack in experience. If that was the case, Manchester City and PSG would have never won the Champions League.

I've missed CL football a lot and it's sad to see there are still 6 more days for the next games... 

At least there is a nice game waiting for us on January 20. Inter vs Arsenal at Giuseppe Meazza. The most interesting game of the day certainly. Who will win here?

Normally I'd just say Arsenal and move on. But I'm not sure for now. It depends on Arteta to rotate or not. Because they are already at top with 18 PTS.

Their chances of winning the Champions League are not at all slim. I think their rivals are aware of this and will do everything to stop Arsenal. Stopping Arsenal is not easy at all because they are playing magnificently everywhere this year. They suffered a defeat against Aston Villa, but I think they play very well in big matches. Also, they really want the championship this year and they are leading in both the Champions League and the Premier League.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich, the two most consistent teams, deserve to be there indeed...
I think the bookie might still consider Liverpool record against strong teams, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Inter they have beaten in the early phase, so maybe for this reason the bookie still put them on the list. What I'm thinking about right now is Madrid chances, with the sacking of Xabi, I think their chances will go down, as I'm personally quite worried about Arbeloa who is currently his replacement.

Arteta has had a lot of experience each season although their play has been quite solid they have always fallen short at the end. From these journeys and failures I strongly believe Artet has learned a lot from these mistakes as can be seen in his early season signings. Artet knows they need a complete squad to win trophies and so far Arsenal have proven to every opponent that they are ready to face the challenge both in the Premier League and the Champions League.

As you said it's true. Winning both trophies in one season is indeed difficult especially the Champions League which is a highly competitive competition with teams from various leagues. But if we look at Arteta's current strategy at Arsenal, his strategy has two facets sometimes dominant attacking, sometimes pragmatic, totally defensive relying on counterattacks and set pieces. Arsenal's ability to utilize set pieces is very impressive in my opinion.

Frankly, I'm not surprised that Real Madrid is at this rate on this list because their chances of winning the championship this year are very slim. They're having problems with too many injured players and they still haven't fixed their defensive issues from last year. They've also changed managers, so you could say they're in a complicated situation. It's understandable that Liverpool has almost similar rates because they've beaten a lot of big teams in their recent matches. They may not have had a great start to the league, but the players are starting to get used to the team.

Winning UCL does involved a bit of luck no matter who says what. Yes of course you need talent, no matter how lucky a team like Bodo gets, they are not going to end up winning the league there is no possible way of that and we have to accept that. But when it's about teams like Arsenal, or PSG or Bayern etc then it is a bit about luck involved between these teams, the one that gets luckier will get the title without a doubt and you have to learn that.

So yeah, Arsenal has a chance to win but it is not guaranteed and they would need to get a bit lucky to be able to do something like this. If they do get lucky, like no injuries to any important player (or no player) while others do have injuries? Of course it makes it easier, but the reverse? Makes it difficult.

Friends, we all know that the Champions League knockout matches are very important. Bayern Munich and Arsenal are currently two very strong favorites, but if they meet in the Champions League knockout rounds before the final, one of them will be eliminated. Similarly, teams with a lower chance of advancing could reach the final if they are drawn against easier opponents. In fact, the Champions League knockout rounds are also very important.

Being at the top with 18points is no cause for alarm for them and I know that they’ll not really put in that much of performance in this game or not risk losing their important players to injury in this game when they have the knockout phase games to face in the next round of the competition.

Arsenal still looks to be the better team to prevail in this game when they meet with Inter Milan, but with the said situation at their end, I think that this teams will most certainly give us a tough challenge and Inter Milan may stand at an advantage to win the game if the Arsenal squad is rotated and their major players are not used in this game.
