[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

On the other hand, Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford are set to make their Champions League debuts for Villa.
Hopefully, Unai can get a good lead to take back to Villa Park next week but it will be a tough game. Good luck...

Aston Villa got an early break, going ahead after just 3 minutes into the game, but they weren’t able to keep their lead and were pegged back, since then it’s been pretty much an even affair, it’s still either team’s game to win, I’d probably still fancy Aston Villa to win the game in the 2nd half, they just might need to step up their game if they’d want to take an advantage back to England.

It's expected for Arsenal to win their match against PSV but what I did not see coming is the three goals in just 45 minutes. Although PSV pulled one back through penalty, it is still tough when your team is already down two goals this early.

I thought Arsenal would struggle to score because they lacked key players, it was different they won 1-3 in the first half so it's still possible Arsenal can secure this win in leg 1.

Other matches
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid 1-1 in the second half anything can happen.
Dortmund vs LOSC 1-0 Dortmund should win at home.

Another three additional goals were scored before the end of the second half. However, Arsenal has shown complete dominance in their match against PSV. I was expecting Arsenal to win in tonight's match, but not with this kind of defeat of 6 goals to 1. The defeat is disgraceful because it is at PSV home

PSV looks too easy for Arsenal. 
Arsenal destroyed them with 7 goals. Even Arsenal played with no striker, they can score many goals. I just can't imagine if Arsenal play with their full team. Arsenal may score more than 10 goals. However, I'm surprised that PSV played with a very bad approach.

On another match, Real Madrid won the match against Atletico Madrid. It proves that Real Madrid played differently when they are in UCL match. Yesterday, they played badly against a weaker team in La Liga, but today they beat Atletico Madrid.

Yes, Arsenal looks very easy to beat PSV in this first leg. With a temporary garage of 1 - 7, in my opinion, there is no hope for PSV to win and surpass Arsenal's aggregate score in the second leg later. So, it is certain that Arsenal will advance to the next round if there are no obstacles.

Now on the other hand, Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, this Madrid derby took place quite sharply. Only, the final score was 2 - 1. So in the second leg later it is still unclear who will advance to the next round

I guess playing without the key members also played to Arsenal's advantage as the other team has to predict Arteta's strategy too. With his effective adjustments, he probably earned some respect after this game.

For the Madrid derby (CL version), my prior prediction was a draw but both teams scoring. I'm even but still kind of disappointed I lost the bet on draw.

A horrible night for PSV yesterday. Anything is possible but with a loss that big, it's fair to say their adventure in the Champions League has already come to an end. I don't think even the most die-hard PSV fans believe they can come back from a 7-1 loss. 2nd leg game will be just a formality for Arsenal and they'll probably give some bench players a chance.

As for the Madrid derby, it was pretty much as expected, Real used their home advantage and scored a minimal win. I expected a little bit more from Atletico, but they're still in the play.

My predictions for tonight:
Bayern Munich v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - x
Benfica v Barcelona - 2
Feyenoord   v Inter Milan - x
Paris St Germain v Liverpool - 2

I think you are wrong about Inter vs Feyenoord
Let's say that Inter is in a moment of absolute form and i think it can be transver to win against the Feyenoord that seems to me to be a team absolutely within its reach
Barcelona and Liverpool also have a relatively simple game.

Yeah, I'd also say the game was pretty even. I'm not sure how Villa looked toothless and they scored three goals but I'll take it
Well, one was a brilliant goal by Bailey and the other was an og, then the penalty, so in fairness Villa scored one!
However, picking up an away win in the UCL knockout phase is an achievement. Taking a two-goal advantage back to Villa Park is good for them. Congrats to Unai...

It seems that there are those who think that Feyenoord is one of the teams that could be a threat to Inter Milan. And I understand this because in the previous stage, Feyenoord had beaten Bayern Munich with a big score and had also held off Man City. I even had high hopes for Feyenoord at that time. But when I saw that Feyenoord was defeated by Lille with a big score and then Feyenoord was actually quite overwhelmed in the match against AC Milan, then from that moment I thought that Feyenoord might be strong but it seemed like they were not a match for the Italian team. Because if they are overwhelmed by AC Milan then they should be even more overwhelmed by Inter Milan. So I will favorite Inter Milan in today's match.

It seems that inter Milan is taking revenge Over feyernoord knowing that two teams from the Italian seria A Juventus and Milan where all eliminated by teams from the Ere divisie it seems that feyernoord is not a match to inter because the game is under the control of inter , well let see how the game will end wether feyernoord can get one goal and keep their hopes alive as they will like to cause an upset in the second leg of this game but it will be very very hard for feyernoord to overturn this score line in the second leg

Looks like Jota start for Liverpool against PSG. Diaz is on the left while Szoboszlai is behind him. Looks like they won't play the way they play against City today. Nunez and Chiesa are on the bench. I don't think they'll get minutes in this match unless Liverpool somehow manages to secure a good margin in the first 60 minutes or so. Endo will probably play again in the last 20 minutes. I'm a fan of him and wanted to see him start a match for Liverpool, but I don't think it will happen considering his competition.

Liverpool has to use all the arsenal at their disposal against PSG because this game is an imported game for Liverpool finishing in the last rounds of the champions League should be the target of Liverpool because the odds  are in favour with the current form of Liverpool so far this season, but PSG too is not a team that Liverpool can just win easily like that because PSG too has really improved in their performance topping the French ligue 1 and where impressive in the group stages of the competition

I guess the bookmakers were right for considering PSG as the favorites for this 1st leg after all, although the fixture remains a goalless one after 45 minutes of action but it's been all PSG so far in this game, and Liverpool could have easily been a goal or 2 behind at the break.

Liverpool have been completely outplayed in this game and if things remain the same in the second half, Liverpool would be lucky to secure a draw in this match, that being said, we all know Liverpool have been spectacular this season and are pretty much capable of flipping the script to get a desirable result.
