[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

Atletico Madrid managed to win when they hosted Borussia Dortmund in this first leg, 2-1 was the final score of the match. Atletico Madrid can take advantage of their status as hosts, because with this win they only need to achieve a draw in the second leg.

However, it is not easy for them to do that, because winning by 1 goal does not make them feel very comfortable. Maybe they are more relaxed, but considering that the second leg match will be held at Borussia Dortmund headquarters, it makes them have to work even harder.

Atletico is not that strong when away, in the Champions League (this season) they have won once, draw 2 times and lost once.
And from 15 away games in Laliga, they have won 5 times, draw 3 times and lost 7 times.
The Germany clubs are usually very strong and difficult to beat when playing at home,
I guess Dortmund will win with 1-0 or 2-1 and goes to a penalty shootout to determine who will advance to the semifinals.

With their record not being very good when playing away matches, it will be a challenge for Atletico Madrid in the second leg match, they must prepare themselves as best as possible in this match.

Borussia Dortmund will also not simply provide a comfortable game for Atletico Madrid. It is very possible for them to catch an aggregate of 1 goal, especially as they will get full support from the supporters in their stadium.

If Atletico Madrid had been able to finish that game with their two goal lead they would have been traveling to Germany a little more confident than they are right now knowing that before the German club Dortmund will be able to  score two goals they would have been able to add some more goals, or adjust their game tactics. Atletico Madrid will be dominated in Germany and will most likely loose that game to Dortmund who will mount the tension from the beginning.

Atletico Madrid were lucky to have won the first leg still, Dortmund would have gotten a draw.

Luckily Atletico Madrid managed to get a win against Girona, winning 3-1 making Atletico Madrid unbeatable in this match. With Atletico Madrid's victory, they managed to get into the top four of the standings and only have a difference of 4 points or at least need two more wins. Atletico will overtake Girona.

Barcelona got the win against PSG but the good news for PSG is that they didn't lose by a big margin against Barcelona. If psg can do well in the second leg match and if Mbappe can play at his best then reducing this one goal gap is not a very difficult task. PSG lost the first leg and it's all over but it's not like that, PSG still have time and PSG still have chances but they should use those chances properly.

It was not good for PSG although they lost with 1 goal difference only. You must know the Leg 2 will be held in Barcelona home, it should be harder than Leg 1. Barcelona has the advantage for the next match, they must know better their home stadium and will be supported by more fans. Personally, I doubt if PSG can destroy Barcelona in Leg 2, they have missed the opportunity to win at their home. Next match is for Barcelona, they won't miss the chance to go to the next round.

If Barcelona could got the win in psg home , then I don't  see them not winning  in their  home too but there's  something  about  PSG they are always after their second  leg which will always be more furious  than expected. They are always after attacking and this is done with full effect, Ince their goals are secured, they always changed their gaming  style to defensive  . That's  why it always easy to beat them if the opponent  counter attack  them in the early  time othe match .

It won't be easy for Atletico Madrid to increase the number of goals in the second leg, because Borussia Dormund will certainly not allow their opponents to easily win at their own headquarters.

Borussia Dortmund is only 1 goal behind in the first leg, and that 1 goal is a very likely distance for Borussia Doertmund to catch up in the second leg. Atletico Madrid must be able to prepare themselves as best as possible, at least they must achieve a draw to enable them to qualify.

Barcelona winning PSG at home is a sure bet, because they were able to win PSG in France, what will PSG play in Spain that will make them win with 2 goals. Barcelona attackers are sharp and there is no way that we would not see a goal from Barcelona. I must say the fact that Barcelona will win them home and away this season. I cannot wait to watch the matches, because this second leg will be tougher than the first leg, since whoever loses based on goal aggregate will go home

Barcelona has good capital for second leg match against PSG, the victory on away match and second leg will play on home get more benefit for Barcelona secure the semifinal place in Champion League for this season. PSG always has good moment success come back against Barcelona but this time the second leg match play at Barcelona's home will make difficult for away team.
Barcelona vs PSG match will play early in this middle week, so excited to know which one teams will qualify to semifinal will Barcelona or PSG make come back?

Updated odds for the outright Champions' League winner:



Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

Updated odds for the UCL winner.
There have been some changes since the last time, but Man City is still the favourite, with odds reduced to x2.60.
Betting on Borussia can now earn you x34.0

It's a goal defeat margin to PSG but how sure are we that PSG will be able to score more than a goal in Barcelona's home, when Barcelona will be defending with their might that maintaining a goal lead to PSG will keep them ahead and also qualify them to next round of the Champions League match.

Barcelona is leading in their UEFA Champions League quarter tie with a goal after winning their first leg with 3:2 scoreline but many people are of the opinion that Barcelona will find it very difficult to win the tie when they host Paris Saint Germaine on Tuesday night.
In my own opinion, I think Barcelona will go through even when I know Paris Saint Germaine will give them a tough time. The only factor that can make Paris Saint Germaine win the tie is if Barcelona failed to stop their talisman Kylian Mbappe from performing just like the way he was stopped in the first leg of the tie. Defeating Barcelona at Camp Nou is one of the most difficult task for any club in Europe and I don't think PSG will be able to do that on Tuesday night

Barcelona has advantage after the winning games on the first leg match over 3-2, tonight will face PSG on second leg match and playing on their home make more advantage to secure one place in semifinal round. Although loss on the first leg match but PSG get advantage more taking rest than Barcelona, PSG not plays in domestic league match in this week and they have almost seven days for recovery their physical after the first leg match.
Barcelona has few days left after facing Cadiz and want to defend their winning result for tonight match, difficult for predictable who will qualify to semifinal round between Barcelona or PSG?

All eyes are on the return leg. For PSG, winning with a difference of two goals is a must and Mbappe is the hope.

Luis Enrique is very familiar with Barcelona and the atmosphere of the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, this might be an advantage for PSG.
However, I will refrain from predicting the outcome of the game. My only desire is to enjoy the match and see the players give it their all, I want to see soldier on for 90 minutes.

Currently Xavi Hernandez has strong motivation to give his best for Barcelona. Because this is his last season at Barcelona. because he will leave after this season is over. And Xavi seems eager to give his best for Barcelona in the UCL. Because in Laliga it seems that Barcelona is already behind Real Madrid by a fairly large difference, namely 8 points. Although the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid still exists with the remaining matches this season. But expecting Real Madrid to drop points in the remainder of the season in Laliga is very difficult. So Xavi will definitely be more enthusiastic about chasing the UCL title. Although very few people like them. But we'll see if Barcelona can be the same surprise as Inter Milan last season, who managed to get to the final without any of us expecting it at all.

PSG might have more difficulty at Barcelona headquarters. But their opportunities are still quite open with only 1 goal behind. Because now it is no longer strange to see the home team losing. but I will favorite Barcelona of course. Because the biggest possibility is that victory will still be on the home side.

Yeah, containing him or limiting his opportunities will be the key for Barca. I'm looking forward to the battle of wits between the managers on how they will make use of their key players. I can also see the game to be decided by a penalty shootout.
