Champions League Predictions

PSG and Manchester City face off in the second match of the group stage of the Champions League this Tuesday. Both teams are one of the strongest in recent years and at the same time in the top rankings of the richest clubs.

PSG is performing excellently in the championship, as the team has recorded 8 victories from 8 matches and has the best goal difference so far in the French Ligue 1 since the beginning of the season. This is not the case in the Euro tournaments and in particular the Champions League. in the first match the Parisians took the lead and calmed down that the match was decided, but Bruges quickly recovered and equalized. Strong minutes of the Belgians followed, who could easily leave with 3 points, but were satisfied with one and so, after 1:1, PSG will have the task to catch up and look more seriously at their opponents in the future. Leonel Messi, who was a hit on the transfer window in France this year, is also expected to play. We still don’t see a strong game on his part, but a probable reason is the need for time to match the team and the style of play.

Manchester City, as well as their opponents, are performing at a very good level in the championship. The team has recorded 13 points from 6 games, one less than the leader Liverpool, and against Chelsea managed to take revenge for the loss of the Champions League final last season and although with a minimum of 1:0 managed to take valuable 3 points and make it as a guest.

 

Prediction –  both teams to score

Barcelona and Bayern Munich will play in a match of the group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, and this is one of the strongest groups in this tournament. The two greats give little hope to the other two teams, although Dynamo Kyiv in particular is a frequent participant in the tournament, with good results and also has its chances. Benfica is the 4th participant in the group and will also fight for a place ahead. However, Bayern and Barça are often in the finals of the most commercial tournament and it is expected that they will be the two teams to continue in the next phase.

Barcelona, ​​led by Ronald Koeman, will have to cope without their star Lionel Messi, who was sold to PSG. The hosts also have some difficulties with penalized and injured players, and are expected to be without Dembere, Aguero, Pique and several other players from the starting lineup. The advantage is that the match will be at the Nou Camp and the fans will give extra strength to the team, but whether they will win the match, we will find out after the last referee signal. Barça started the championship relatively well with two wins and one draw with Atl. Bilbao. The team still needs time to adjust its game was Lionel Messi and to stand out other strikers to lead the team to victory.

Bayern Munich is performing at the level of this season, as in most in recent years. The team has a new coach and that is Nagelsman. Despite his fragile age for this position, he is doing well so far and already has a trophy from the German Super Cup with the team of Bayern Munich. In the matches between them, the Germans have a positive balance. They have 4 wins from 5 matches, so according to the statistics the scales lean slightly towards them in this match, but still the Spaniards are unpredictable and at the Nou Camp they can easily win.

Monaco and Shakhter Donetsk will play in a match for enetering the group stage of CHL for the new season. Both teams eliminate their pretenders in last round, as Monaco win in both games against Czech Sparta, while Shakhter win against Genk with 2:1 in both matches. So, this game will be very important for qualifying in group stage and after that they will play in Donetsk for the seconf game.

Monaco did not start the French League 1 in the best way, taking 1 point from two matches, and in the 3rd round they will face Lance for the first victory. The previous season was successful for Monaco, after finishing in 3rd place, right after Lille and PSG. Despite the not very successful old man, it is still the beginning of the championship and the team has enough matches to enter the top teams in League 1 again, and now the main goal is to qualify in the groups of the Champions League.

Shakhtar has already played 4 matches in the Ukrainian championship, and after 3 wins and one loss to Alexandria, ranks third in the Ukrainian Premier League, with the same number of points as Dynamo Kyiv and 3 points behind interim leader Desna Chernyshev. Shakhtar definitely has a lot of experience in Euro tournaments. He has often qualified for Champions League groups in recent years and it will hardly be easy for the French to eliminate him. Statistics show that in 2015 the Ukrainians successfully coped with the French team, after 3-0 in Donetsk.

Slovan Bratislava will meet Young Boys in a match of the 2nd round of the Champions League qualifications for the season 2021-2022, as both teams try to enter the group stage. The hosts beat Shamprock Rovers, and the guests from Switzerland qualify directly for this round, after winning the Swiss championship last season.

Slovan Bratislava is facing an experienced team, which we have often seen in the groups of the Europa League, and coach Vladimir Weiss will again be able to rely on some new names, as some of the starters are injured or will not be available for this match. Lucas Lovat, Erik Daniel and David Holman are treating injuries and will mainly rely on Ratao and Weiss to score goals. Slovan has the opportunity to advance, but it will not be an easy task. The team still has the advantage of playing this match at home and probably fans will be present in the stands, albeit in a reduced lineup.

Young Boys is the favorite in the match according to the bookmakers. They performed at a level in previous qualifiers, especially for the Europa League. Against the Bulgarian CSKA Young Boys showed class, fast play and accurate passes. Then they won both matches, and in the group only Roma managed to oppose them. Stable team, with great players and ambitions in European tournaments. In my opinion, in this match the Swiss are more likely to win, but I will prefer the position of both teams to score, as you can see the current odds for this position in 22bet ot other bookmaker you prefer.

Probable lineup Young Boys: Von Ballmoos; Hefti, Camara, Zesiger, Garcia; Elia, Aebischer, Rieder, Ngamaleu; Mambimbi, Siebatcheu

Probable lineup Slovan Bratislava: Chovan; Medvedev, Bozhikov, Kashia, De Marco; De Kamps, Kankawa, Rabiu; Cavric, Ratao, Weiss

Manchester City and Chelsea will play in a final of Champions League 2020/2021 year at stadium Estadio Do Drago in Portio.

Manchester City ended a very strong season in the Premiership, securing the championship a few games before the end. The final standings speak of City’s performance, as they finished with a 12-point lead over second-placed Manchester United. Now all efforts are focused on the final, and for a long time Manchester City is trying to take this trophy, but still, something is missing. Here we will witness an English final, as both teams know each other well enough to have some big surprises. Coach Pep Guardiola’s players have a very good chance to win this cup, because, in addition to great players and good form, they have shown that they are one of the strongest teams at the moment. On the way to the final, the team did not face many difficulties and coped with teams such as Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and PSG. Despite Manchester City’s better performance, they should not underestimate this match if they want to win the title, as in their last two games they recorded two losses, one in the FA Cup and the other in the Premier League. However, the City team has better players, in better shape and it is no coincidence that it is a favorite in the bookmakers.

Chelsea reached 4th place in the Premiership, but with a lot of luck, because of their last 4 games, they had 3 losses. The team lost the Fa Cup match against Leicester, then relied on the chance that was on their side and after losing the „foxes“ to Tottenham, they ranked 4th and will play again in the Champions League next season, regardless of the final score in this match. However, Chelsea has a young and still underplayed team and although it offers high-level football, they still need time to reach the level of the top teams. The Londoners play aggressively in most of their matches and mainly on counterattacks, watching for the opponent’s mistakes. Manchester City, however, is the more experienced team, with an already built and played team, and is unlikely to allow many surprises. In this match, I think that Manchester City will win, although difficult this final.

Prediction – home win – 1.86 from 22bet

PSG meet Manchester City in 1st leg of the semi-final of the Champions League. This match will be played on Wednesday in Paris at 22:00 East European Time.

PSG beat Bayern Munich, although in the second match the Bavarians were close to a turnaround, as the overall result was 3: 3, and Bayern won in Paris with 1: 0 and despite the great desire failed to reach the semifinals. We should also mention the many omissions of the Parisians in this match, and here they should come out much more concentrated, as Manchester City has shown this season that it is one of the strongest teams at the moment. PSG defeated Metz last week and is now preparing for the big clash with the British at home. Pochettino’s players are 2nd in the standings of a point from Lille, who are leaders, and in 3rd place in Monaco, which is two points behind the leader Lille. The ranking at the moment shows that nothing has been decided yet and probably these will be the 3 teams that will fight for the title in France. Kaylor Navas and Marco Verratti will most likely take part in this match, as well as Marquinhos and Abdu Diallo, who may be included in the first team. Neymar and Mbape will be the main scorers for the PSG team in this match.

Manchester City has done very well this season in the English Premier League and has already secured the title, and will now be able to concentrate on the remaining matches of the Champions League. The team is close to the final, so they will not fight on several fronts, like their opponent, but will concentrate mainly in the semifinals of the Champions League and will try to eliminate the French. City has great players and a big bench, and Guardiola will be able to rely again on Mares, Fallon, De Bruyne, and others. For City, John Stone is expected to return, and Ederson will be at the door of the English.

Possible line ups PSG: Navas; Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Diallo; Gueye, Paredes; Di Maria, Verratti, Neymar; Mbappe

Possible line ups Man.City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Silva, Foden

Liverpool meets Real Madrid at Anfield stadium in 2nd leg of the quarter-final of the Champions League, starting today at 22:00 East European time.

A team led by Urgen Klopp not perform, like last season, when they become champions, as now they rank in 6th place in the standings, and seems the main goal for them in the Premiership is to get into the top 4 to be able to participate in the Champions League again next season. The difference is not very big With West Ham (3 points) and it is quite possible in the remaining rounds Liverpool to get to the coveted 4 places. Unlike the Premiership, in the Champions League, the team plays much more stably. After the elimination of RB Leipzig with a total score of 4:0, now the boys of Jürgen Klopp have the difficult task to close the gap of 2 goals and do everything possible to move forward in the tournament. This naturally goes through scoring more goals, and here I think that in this match Liverpool will play more offensively to make this happen and to make up for the loss in Spain.

Real Madrid is a team that knows how to win such matches. The team has extensive experience in European tournaments and will try to maintain its advantage from the previous match. Under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane, Real M. maintains its good form and is currently in 2nd place, a point from the 1st Atletico Madrid and a point more than the 3rd Barcelona. A very contested battle for the lead in the Primera is looming in the next matches, but now Real Madrid will focus on the second match of the quarterfinals and in my opinion will try to keep the difference from the previous match, and if possible increase it.

Possible line ups Liverpool:  Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Possible line ups Real Madrid: Courtois; Odriozola, Nacho, Militao, Mendy; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

PSG and Bayern meet in the 2nd leg of the Champions League on 13 April 2021 year, a on 1st leg french player wins at Allianz Arena with 3:2 and enters this match with a goal advance on away ground.

PSG ranked 2nd in League 1, as from last 5 games has 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 loses, so will try to get at 1st place and still has a chance to make this, because the difference from Lille is 3 points. This year PSG is one of the best teams in the Champions League, after strong games against Barcelona and Bayern Munchen. With Barca, PSG wins 4:1 at Now Camp and after a draw at home go to Quater-finals, where meets Bayern Munchen. Now with a goal advantage away, PSG has a great chance to continue to the semi-finals in this popular football tournament.

Bayern is the leader in Bundesliga, after a difference with 5 points from RB Leipzig and 9 points from Wolfsburg. The team performs well, but at home make 1:1 with Union Berlin last game. It’s not a big mistake, as Bayern still is the leader with a difference against 2nd Leipzig and now they will try to win on this game, but PSG shows, that is in great form and will be a hard job for them. The match will be in France and Bayern will need only win with a goal difference and result higher than 3:2. If the game finishes at 3:2 for Bayern, it will be an additional time and if or draw, both teams will try penalties to has a winner, so with every result with a goal difference, ower than 3:2, PSG will qualify. Another option for Bayern is to win with 2 or more goals difference.

Bayern Munchen and Lacio meet at Allianz Arena this Wednesday on a game of CHL. The leader of Bundesliga will play with 7th in Seria A of Italy.

Bayern shows strong games this season, leading the Bundesliga at the moment, followed by 4 points by Leipzig and at the same time, the Bayern team shows a good performance also in the Champions League. After losing from Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern makes 4 wins and one of them is against Lacio with 4:1 at Stadio Olimpico – Rome. Depends on the form of the team and experience in CHL, I predict, that Bayern can score in this game and it’s possible for this match to finish again with over 2.5 goals, like the previous one.

Lacio ranks 7th in Serie A, close to the top6 team, so they will try to get a minimum at 6th place for UEFA Europa Conference League Playoff. Now the team has 46 points, while Roma is 1 place up with 50 points. Lacio needs a minimum of 3 goals difference to has chances to qualify for the next round for CHL, so this seems a difficult job, but I predict they can score a goal or more in this game.

Head to Head

2021 / Lacio – Bayern Munchen – 1:4

Last 3 games Bayern Bundesliga:

13 Mar Werder Bremen 1-3 Bayern Munich

Liverpool meets Leipzig in a match of the Champions League this Wednesday. Both teams reach R16 of this tournament, trying to perform better and to continue in CHL.

Liverpool starts very well season, but last games team makes mistakes, so now ranked 8th with 1 win and 4 losses in their last 5 games. otherwise, Liverpool is a tournament club, and last season wins a Champions League, so it has a lot of experience in CHL. This match is important for them and at Anfield, they can put an effort to take 3 points.

Leipzig trying to get a better ranking in the Champions League and make strong games. A team fighting for the Bundesliga title also, where the difference is 2 points, so as we look at general standing, Leipzig has 53 points ranked 2nd, while Bayern Munchen has 55 points. Leipzig will try to get the title and effort will be put at Bundesliga and CHL, so in this match, they will try to win or make a draw because the next match will be at Red Bull Arena stadium.

My prediction here is for a home win and you can find different odds in top bookmakers, as you can find 2.43 for Liverpool at Betwinner.
