People are more focused on the high profile game between Manchester City and Bayern Munich but I think the most unpredictable fixture will be the Benfica vs Inter Milan Match.
Benfica has been on an incredible form lately, although they lost their last match to Porto over the weekend. Before the Porto game they have won the previous six games they have player. That's a lot of consistency. Lets also not forget that Benfica is at the top of the Portuguese league with seven points ahead of Porto.

Milan on the other hand have been the opposite of Benfica in recent time. Inter Milan have not won a single game in their last six matches, that is really poor for a team like Inter. Because of their poor performance recently, they keep slipping down on the Italian league table. At a point they were 2nd position on the table, now they are 5th and not sure if they will be playing ucl football next season.

I'm going with Benfica to win in this fixture. The worst that Benfica can get out of this is a draw, which won't be a good result for them because they are playing on home soil.

That is a game that will be boring for one simple reason; people know that whoever wins that game, will end up losing later on. We could see Bayern or City to be the champions, we could see Real becoming champions, we could even maybe see Napoli be the champions which I think will not happen but even that has a bigger chance considering the path they have, I feel like Napoli will have one hard game, they should be winning against Milan and whoever wins the Benfica vs Inter game, not saying they will but they should.

However, when we are talking about Benfica or Inter, do you see one of them becoming champions this year? That just doesn't feel like it is going to happen and we are going to end up with a team who will just lose some other time.

Manchester City is placed as the favorite because they will play at the Etihad stadium and Bayern Munich is in the process of adapting with a new coach. But the advantage of playing at home doesn't mean they can underestimate the strength that Bayern Munich has, Tuchel will try to improve his team's performance against one of the other favorite teams.
That's right, this is the Champions League, the atmosphere is very different from other competencies. It is difficult to predict the outcome of the match because both teams were able to win in their last match.

I really hope Pep Guardiola can handle Bayern Munich well in the first leg. It's difficult to expect to win in Germany even though Manchester City are a strong team, so I hope Pep Guardiola can do that at the Etihad Stadium today.

Pep Guardiola is certainly very aware of the strength of his opponent in the first leg. Both teams play to win regardless of who is the favourite. Of course that's true, and a little quote of what he has planned for this match is important.

PEP ON ANOTHER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINAL

Quote

"It's an honour to be here against an elite club like Bayern Munich. I am happy to be here.

"It's not for granted. You have to deserve it. You have to play good and try to do [well in] the first [leg] tomorrow.

"We tried last season. We tried two seasons ago. We tried three seasons ago. Every single season. But there are teams that you face that are also good, too. They want to win it too.

"My ambition is to be here again, that’s my dream, to live it again and be here in a Champions League competition."

The champions league continues today with the Big Dogs Manchester City taking on Bayern Munich. It will be an entertaining match, and I have a strong hunch that it may end in a draw because both teams are strong and have plenty of champions league experience. Manchester City will win in the worst-case scenario, and as the league gets tougher, the champions league winner will ultimately come as a surprise to everyone. let's see how the match will end today.

It certainly won't be a 0-0 game. The chances for a 0-0 are a lot bigger in the match between Benfica and Inter Milan. But at Manchester City - Bayern Munich there can be a number of goals. Probably not very soon, in the first half it can also be 0-0 at half time. Haaland seems to be fit, he has trained with the selection and therefore does not seem to be bothered by an injury. Crucial, of course, whether or not he joins City. Guardiola is already comparing him to Messi and Ronaldo, maybe not very smart to do but he just wants to compliment him.

Who's ready for the big game tonight?
The giant of bundlesliga are full ready to matchup the strength of City in Etihad stadium. Thomas Tuchel knows Pep Guardiola and knows the strategy to implement inother to melt down the pressure of the home team. It's definitely going to be a tough game to witnessed top class action from both sides. Ball possession doesn't matter because city will grab that, it's a specific pattern for them but the Bavarians will haunt you like an average club and with the looks of players, Bayern Munich have an edge over manchester city.

I am looking forward to that match, even though i have to say that i am pretty sad, that this match is already happening in the quarterfinal of this competition because honestly this match up should happen in the final because it features the two strongest teams. The draw decided otherwise so it is what it is. Even though i am a supporter of Bayern Munich i think that ManCity is the favorite in this match up. I would say in general both teams are completely at the same level in terms of quality of the squad but at the moment things are just not going so well at Bayern Munich with the replacement of the coach and also the recent elimination from the german cup.

There is nothing to do as this is the way luck decided things should happen and it is part of what makes sports so exciting, even good teams need to have luck on their side as without it they will not get far as they will find all kind of complications to move to the next rounds, and about the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich it is clear the former is the favorite, and most likely they will get a win today and take the first step on their quest to reach the semifinals.

Manchester City are favourites on paper only. I believe this could be a Champions League final with equal teams. I think it's very hard to guess who will be the winner here. If you look at the last few home league games, Manchester City look stronger. But this is the Champions League, which is different to other matches.

Manchester City is placed as the favorite because they will play at the Etihad stadium and Bayern Munich is in the process of adapting with a new coach.

It so difficult to predict this game, it looks like Manchester City are good to win this game. Many don't really believe if Bayern Munich can win the match because the coach of the team is new and the same coach have won the Champions League before now several times.

It is just too hard to speculate what will be the end result of this game. Before Bayern Munich had new coach the teams have been doing very well in their performance in Champions league games, with their energy in previous game I think the players will do well in the game. From Champions league experience of tuchel their is hope for Bayern Munich.

Any side that loses will record their first loss in the champions league this season. Manchester City would have been the favourite because of home stadium advantage but i doubt if this will matter much. It might just turn out to be a quest for the most experienced. The outcome is difficult to predict i will agree to that but i will risk it on City to win at home.

Playing at the etihad stadium will of course provide high motivation for city players, but I think playing home or away will not really affect a team like bayern munchen, as a team that is very experienced in the champions league of course bayern munich has many advantages which will indeed frustrate their opponents, including Manchester City, even if later Manchester City can win in the first leg of course they should have won with a big score because if not then in the second leg it is likely that Bayern Munich will be able to destroy Manchester City like other teams playing at Allianz arena.

I also think it's a pretty clear favorite that Manchester City will win this game. I also do not exclude that this will happen with a great display of power. However, Bayern Munich has a good track record in Europe and they may be able to charge for this game. If Bayern reaches the level of its Champions League games, Manchester City will have a difficult game. But the question is, will it get that far? I'd put my money on City. The other game seems to me to be a game in which the home team has the advantage.

the betting exchange really favors Manchester City in this first leg match and that cannot be separated because this first leg match will be played at Manchester City's home Etihad Stadium but a fierce match will not be avoided because Bayern Munich is a team that has a very high mentality when playing at Champions League.

this is a match that will be fierce because 2 top teams will compete so I think to bet on under goals in this match, I predict both teams will play very carefully not to make mistakes and that way it is very likely not to score too many goals .

The under bet option is still pretty good in a fierce match like this and that can't get rid of the fact that it's true what you say that both teams will play very carefully. But if one team can score first in the first half, then it is certain that the match will continue with hot tension and the two will attack each other to increase their advantage or catch up. Even though Manchester City is highly favored, I am still quite wary of Bayern Munich. They can always surprise in tricky situations because their experience in UCL has been extraordinary.

Whether Manchester City is playing home or playing away,
Whether Bayern Munich has a new coach or not,
Whether Bayern new coach is Tuchel or not,
With what both teams are playing currently, Manchester City is favoured to have a win over Bayern Munich and that is what will heppen, the Citizens are not serious about the Champions League trophy.
Over some seasons, Manchester City has been good and consistent. Even without reaching the finals last season, yet they became the champions league team of the season.

Quote from: Yogee on April 11, 2023, 10:36:43 AM

First time looking at the odds about 15 minutes ago and didn't expect Bayern to be such a huge underdog on moneyline hehe. I personally don't care who is going to win as I'm not betting on that but I'm hoping they both score because that's where my money is. Line at 1.70 isn't a bad deal when two European giant clubs collide. I was expecting it to be a lot lower to be honest.

To err on the side of caution, while the potential payout may seem small, I am placing my bet on Manchester City to either win or draw in the first round. This is because Bayern has been experiencing inconsistencies in their matches since Tuchel took over, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. Although this isn't terrible, I have more confidence in Manchester City winning this match-up. With Guardiola's extensive experience in winning the Champions League three times, he will provide a challenging opponent for Tuchel, who has only won it once. While this is expected to be a close match, I am shifting my bet to Manchester City to win both the first and second legs.

So the action is back in tonight with Benfica waiting Inter and City waiting Bayern.I think both games can as well end in a home victory as I think Benfica is fully focused on the Champions and their recent performance has been great in the home league while Inter has been suffering a lot in their home league and as such I think Benfica will win tonight.In the other game City has missed so many times to win the Champions League and this is a golden opportunity for them,they have Haaland now in their squad to make a difference as it looks like he was the missing piece for City to do well in the Champions League and most likely they will win tonight.

Shit so many parties were putting their choices into the city right now. I can't even believe that Bayern had got such big odds. That means bayern was a very weak team at this moment in front of so many eyes. City always becomes of favorite among so many people but this club never won UCL. I don't even know what makes people interested in manchester city. If we are talking about haaland, haaland never had a good record facing bayern. Haaland has become the key player for manchester city.
It seems like that if he has been recovering and he will be ready to play against bayern very soon. Pep will not try to miss this opportunity.
Bayern is a very strong team. Pep needs hard work to beat bayern. Bayern will not also give up easily against manchester city.

we have to see realistically that Manchester City's strength this season is much stronger than Bayern, especially since Pep has coached the Bayern team, of course he knows the weaknesses of the Bayern team.
not because I am a Manchester City fan, but I see from the strength of the remaining teams in the current Champions League, in my opinion Manchester City is the strongest team and they will be the team that is highly favored to win.
the betting exchange also really favors Man City by only giving small odds compared to other teams if we choose bets on the team that will win the UCL this season.

Manchester city should not be under estimated in tonight's big show against Bayern Munich, The Manchester city team that have played against Thomas Tuchel is totally different from the team that will line up tonight, having Halland in their front have totally change their mentality and paternal of attacking, which is helping the team in creating more chances and scoring more goals. Thomas Tuchel will find it difficult tonight because he will see a different thing from what he use to know about Manchester city football pattern.

Today I picked Man City to win. But I'm not sure they will make it through to the semi-finals. They will still play in Germany. Although with the new coach, Bayern Munchen cannot be underestimated. They are experienced, I'm sure they know how to stop Haaland being the goal machine and De Brunye being the creator of the attack. Haaland is in Germany and they meet often, so I think Munchen are very experienced. Although Munchen is indeed in poor performance in the League, Man City must remain vigilant.

I do not underestimate Bayern Munich, nor do I take it lightly. Manchester City will be the winner in this match, I think there will be no problem in the second leg. A good opportunity for the semi-finals Halaand will defeat the German defence. I'm undecided about the Milan-Benfica match. The rate given for Inter is good, I'm evaluating whether it's worth the risk. In the last quarter-finals, at least Inter team eliminated a team like Porto.

Am not surprised by what the bookmarkers did in placing Manchester city as the favourite in this game to be honest, City appear to be the more balanced team here and Bayern Munich being the underdog shows how weak they have become lately. On the other hands, Bayern Munich has got so much experience much more than Manchester city I think this could be a big trap for anyone betting on City for a straight win considering the performance of Bayern Munich since the group stage of the Champions League till now.

I'm not surprised that City is the favorite to win either but I just didn't expect the gap to be that much. I thought it would be around 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 at best. I agree with what KTChampions said that they were treated like an average team. I think it was disrespectful but it is what it is. It's not really our job to question but we can either take advantage of the lines or just ignore them.
