[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

[Uruhara]

For me the most crucial games will be for Madrid and PSG, who are on the tightrope, well PSG even more so Madrid did get some fresh air when they won, but they can't compete any more. They have to win everything that comes their way if they want to go through, because they don't have a direct pass and a team like Madrid shouldn't be left out, that's something that many expect, so in view of this these games won't be normal, they will be finals for them, or well at least that's how I see them. I think Ancestilli is clear about that, as is Luis Enrique with PSG.

Currently, without us realizing it, we have been discussing more about the teams fighting to win tickets to the play-off round. And most of the teams currently in the play-off zone are strong teams. It's quite ironic and that makes this season difficult to understand. And the definite answer will begin to appear after the seventh match. And PSG they have to really win the match if they want to enter the play-off zone. Because if they lose, PSG will remain outside the play-off zone and it could even make PSG fail more quickly if all the teams currently in the play-off zone manage to win. About Real Madrid, actually the result of the 7th match will still make them safe in the play-off zone whether they lose or win. It's just that if they win, Real Madrid will be certain to qualify for the play-offs and will fight for the next stage.

PSG seems unlucky because in their 7th match they have to face Man City. And I think PSG could even lose even though Man City is not at their best either.

I really hope this doesn't happen, I see that PSG is much better than City, although of course we have to remember that things are not going well for City right now, in their local league they are worse than PSG, so I think that this match will be very balanced if we base ourselves on levels, that is why I don't see so much complication for this team, if PSG wins they would be demonstrating many things, even in their own local league, but there is still a long way to go and I want to see how things develop.

For me it is easy, City is not well, and they do not get out of their crises so quickly, it is already very well demonstrated.

PSG and City desperately need a win to finish in the last eight of the Champions League.
A team with 11 points or more is almost certain to secure a place in the top 24 and has a great chance of competing in the top eight.
So I think this match will be exciting because it is like a final for both teams.
PSG has the advantage of playing at home, but City is City, a big team ready to bounce back to avoid early failure in this season's Champions League. So it's not an easy game...

I said it is impossible for Paris Saint-Germain to finish in the top 8 of the standings, they are far apart and now there are only 2 games left, so it is impossible for them.

Also I feel that if they do not qualify for the play-off round, it is not a surprising result at all. Their performance this season is much worse than previous seasons, plus their performance in the Champions League has always been like that (cannot be better) every season.

Yes, you could say that, it's like a final match where some teams can't lose if they want to be in the next round, or at least they can qualify automatically.

In this new format, the Champions League forces teams to compete with all the other teams in the early rounds. This is different from the previous format where in the old format, there were only 4 teams competing to be in the last 16.

New format of UEFA Champion League have to play until 8 games and each teams will face difference opponent teams since first games weeks until the last games weeks. Its one unique side of new Champion League format although have many complaint before every team have to play until 8 matches than old format just playing 6 matches only.
I think new format looks fair and every teams have the same opportunity with face any top teams since first until the last games week, teams have collected many points get opportunity for directly qualify to knock out round and bad result for top teams after games week 6 many teams drop to bottom place standing awhile.

to say this is fairer or something, actually the old format is also fair, because all groups or teams that are included in one group are determined by the results of the draw. This season is also the same, all teams that meet each other are determined by the draw.

And each pot also has its own assessment depending on which pot they will be placed in based on their achievements. Although true, the more match schedules are a complaint.

When two giant teams are together like PSG and City what we anticipate is competition that depicts class respectable. However, as it is seen City seems to be struggling at the moment, but the capacity of the team is enormous enough to deliver and the nature is that in every team of their capacity can bring the surprise element. PSG also have the chance to demonstrate their performance both on national level but also European and international level. The match like this is not only who is stronger at the given moment and better competing another one but who is able to perform the pressure and take every chance to win. I think both teams can give an interesting performance, therefore the outcome depends on their activities during the match.

Yeah. PSG is struggling this season in the Champions League, 25th place, with low goals, and tough losses. Luis Enrique is bleeding.
PSG has had a tough Champions League run so far, which isn't very comfortable and embarrassing for such a big club.
PSG needs a serious turnaround to avoid early elimination this season. A big challenges ahead. We'll wait for the rest.

PSG can qualify one they may win with 2 remaining matches and it will also enter the playoffs but at the end PSG will fall because this team does not have a good mentality in the champions league.
PSG still has no achievements in the Champions League and that is their main target, whether until when it is clear that they still fail.

PSG’s road to UCL survival just got even tougher, I think they should spend more money  The team's performance doesn't look good.
Enrique better get busy and figure things out. It's like the skylight is open and it is raining.
Luis Enrique needs to pull off a miracle here to keep his job and Dembele needs to put the team on his back to deserve to be in this competition.
Anyway, Good luck to PSG and take care for the future matches.

After their star players left, they experienced a decline like this, it means they rely heavily on the star players who have been in the team. A team should not do that, because the impact will be like what they are showing now.

I hope this can be a very valuable lesson for them, in the future they should not do the same thing, and they can even use this to form a more even team.

There are still many possibilities in the remaining 2 matches that can change the standings of the teams, so this will be very decisive for them, both those in the top 8 positions, or those in the top 24 positions.

They need to be careful and they also have to make sure that they can get the victory in the last 2 matches. This will be interesting because I'm sure there will be a surprise.

I see City's path as very difficult, the truth is that everyone says that City is City but lately the way they have played is not convincing, the performance of PG does not convince me either, so I could not give a winner here, for me both teams are playing equally, here the one that will win is the one that has the most desire to win, otherwise I do not believe that a winner can emerge with that spirit, and as they want to stay in the round of 16 it will be very tight, it is difficult to see these two teams in this situation, the truth is that I did not think that this panorama would occur.

The Citizens are gradually getting back to their winning ways. The race to the knockout round is not over yet.
The good news for City is that Savinho is starting to show his quality, he is in good shape, Savinho's passing in the box is better than any other winger in his position, and he’s producing the goals and assists in the last two games
He should play when City is against PSG, Savinho deserves to play. IMO

Their last 2 matches in the Champions League will be very decisive for their fate in the Champions League this season. If they can't win those 2 matches then they won't be able to advance further, and even if they only get 1 win it's still at risk.

Yes, slowly they can rise by getting wins, but will they be able to continue like that? because I haven't seen them be as consistent as last season.

City has started getting results and are really playing well so in the remaining two matches that are left in the champions League this season in the group phase city has a very high mountain to climb as they are in a very risky position because they could be eliminated this early in this years competition

It's left for city to do the job because they know what is at stake so they have to be in their best form going into these remaining two games because they are crucial to their survival in the champions League this season but with the experience at the disposal of city i see them maki it to the second phase of the champions League
