We will soon experience the new matches in the CL. I am very curious, especially about the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich, we can expect a few things there. I don't know if Bayern Munich will line up a completely different team tonight than in the league. And I don't mean in terms of players, but in terms of level. If Bayern reach the level of the competition, they will be played off the mat by City without a chance and it can also become 4-0. That would be a shame, then there would be no tension at all in Munich. City on their way to their first CL title since the club's existence.

They are all good matches for a good viewing pleasure,but I pick particular interest in the one of AC Milan and Napoli..because of the outcome of their recent meeting when  ac Milan won convincingly.prior to that match most persons felt ac Milan is no match for Napoli,but that match have changed the narrative,heading into this game ,it is very unpredictable and one can only look forward to a good game.

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.

The option for both teams to score looks pretty good because both teams are good in scoring goals and going with their recent goal scoring records in their last league matches, they have score more than two goals so it's obvious we will see them score each other in the game.

Yes, absolutely crazy quotes:

1.62 - 4.30 - 5.40

It's like City are playing an average Premier League team. No less ridiculous quotes on the overall result of this confrontation:

To Qualify

Manchester City FC 1.58

Bayern Munich 2.48

I hope that already after today's game the bookmakers will understand that they were wrong.

You can bet on Benfica to win, but keep in mind that a game is not what you are expecting. Inter Milan may not be performing well in other match and some leagues, but I'm confident they will perform well in today's match against Benfica because it's the Champions League and I'm certain that no one will want to miss this opportunity. Benfica may play aggressively today because they are at home, but I'm confident sure that Inter Milan will undoubtedly play well to ensure that they defeat Benfica or play a draw.

On the contrary, as well as with Pep Guardiola. he really knows very well, the style and system adopted by Tuchel. Pep, is very familiar with Tulchel's characteristics with his 4-2-3-1 formation pattern. and if I refer to Bayern's starting line-up in this match, Tuchel will implement his system with a 4-2-3-1 pattern. however, based on the predictions of several sources that I refer to. it seems, Tuchel will play Muller as a center forward. Mane and Coman on the wings, Musiala as a playmaker. the rest, not much change. it's just that, there seems to be a change in Bayern's wing-back. most likely, Tuchel will not make Joao Cancelo the main starter. but his role will be filled by Josip Stanisic. Tuchel adopts an offensive option, but will rely more on counterattacks. But, this is just a temporary prediction. more details, we will find out later.

As for TheCitizen. So far, Pep has mostly adopted a 3-2-4-1 system. and it seems, Pep will apply the same pattern. referring based on several predictions of the line-up that Pep will reduce, there are no changes that he makes or rotates his players. well, referring to Tuchel, I assume that most likely, Josip Stanisic was tasked with guarding Grealish closely. wow, it looks like this fight will be very interesting and stimulate my adrenaline to watch it eagerly. In my estimation, City will overthrow Bayern in this match. therefore, I bet on Manchester United. I hope Haaland will score two goals in this match.

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.

I'm excited for the upcoming game Manchester City vs Bayern Munich! Two brilliant tacticians facing off in a fierce competition. I'm waiting to see these two masters, and for me It's like watching a battle of the big brains! Pep has the advantage, especially considering the home team won't be holding anything back. So, this may be the end of Bayern Munich's journey in the Champions League! Anything could happen in this tactical match, and I'm eager to see who comes out on top.

The odds for BTTS is pretty decent imo, you'd expect the both teams to score (until they don't ), well, i'd not be deceived by the bookies because of the odds given to Bayern Munich, it is pretty high, and tbh i don't know why, prolly because City are at home, because in terms of form, i think the both teams are in pretty decent form, no one is doing a whole lot better or worse than the other. Irrespective of odds, bet slips and other whatnots, this promises to be a really cracking game, i'd go with a City victory, but i'd not put my money on it cause its pretty risky, i think i'd take BTTS too, but i'm yet to decide and the game draws ever nigh.

Me too. Even though intermilan's odd is quite high caused by bookies were favoring benfica and i think that intermilan will be facing so many difficulties against benfica. It's quite surprising that if the odds owner by bayern is very big compared with manchester city and it becomes very far. I can't even believe it bookies were seeing bayern as underrated club. Could this be another trap? I can't even imagine how bayern will be getting 5.20 compared with city 1.63. If bayern got at least under 3 and it looks good but 5.20 was very amazing odd for me to see that.

I will be picking bayern for city vs bayern and benfica for benfica vs intermilan. The odds for bayern is worthy enough to take it. Benfica will be winning the game. Picking benfica looks like easy money for sure but draw is also possible to happen.
I can't even imagine how bad bayern in front of bookies's eyes.  

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.

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.

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.

Inter has failed to win in the last 6 matches in all competitions and the latest is they cannot able to beat Cremonese on Serie A and it's obviously they are not in the good shape and for Benfica indeed they had just lose from Porto at their domestic league but i don't think it would have any affect for their performance later and regarding Benfica records in this competitions they had passed 13 matches with unbeatable status

Benfica had good result from Italian teams before because on group stage they can able to beat Juventus twice i think this result probably can be used as the reference that they have good chances to be the winner of this match especially this is home match for them and i am sure Benfica will attempts to get early goals and secured their position

Regarding teams conditions probably Inter will played used their best starting line up considering there is no important players who got injured but the opposite conditions for Benfica that their defender Alexander Bah had uncertain conditions and probably will be unable to play and besides that Nicolas Otamendi will not in the squad because of suspension and i know it's hard for Benfica because these players is their key players but i think they still able to overcomes Inter with the current squad so Benfica will be the winner of this match and @2.28 could be good odds

Today we will be shown with the opening two matches of the champions league quaterfinal round. If we look at the odds offered by the dealer, it's clear that the host will be very favored. But I want to discuss the Manchester City vs Bayern Munich match first. We can see the odds for Manchester City @ 1.63 and Bayern Munich @ 5.20. It's very clear that this is almost unequal and maybe Bayern Munich will lose this first leg. Right now Erling Haaland is on fire and has just broken the latest record in the EPL and maybe he also wants to keep scoring on the UCL board later. But Bayern Muchen I think they will keep trying to get good results in this match. But logically I would bet on the victory of Pep Guardiola's squad.

The other match is Benfica vs Inter, it's quite clear how this match will go because Benfica is much better than Inter and looking at the odds I'm very sure to bet on Benfica's win. Inter will not be able to stop Benfica at home, they are still difficult to score and in this match I think Inter will definitely go home without being able to bring aggregate points.

Benfica has great potential to actually make a great game and obtain a good result tonight against Inter. I say this because Inter is really doing poorly lately in Serie A and their game is lacking vision and pace as well so I won't expect a great overturn from them even if UCL gets out the best from teams.

Benfica are also having a blast in Liga Portugal with 7 points in front of Porto and pretty much champions of 22/23 season. 

Chelsea will just depend on luck in this game because from their performance they are hopeless. I am very sorry to sound this way but any fan that places trust or confidence in his team will suffer from a heart attack. A team that has all it takes to win all competition is struggling to beat relegation-bound teams. Lampard will not perform any miracles because he needs time to rebuild the team. He can be fortunate to get a good result, who knows?

I think the forceful selling of the club by the English government was a mistake, selling the club to Todd Boehly was also a blunder, the sack of Thomas Tuchel was also wrong and the appointment of Graham Potter was also an error. Chelsea arrived at this terrible state because of multiple and consistent blunders. I don't know if the employment of Frank Lampard is a mistake until after the match tomorrow. If they fail to move to the semifinals, I suggest they seek forgiveness from Roman Abramovich and other people they have offended because their problem might be spiritual and not physical.

Maybe for me the first leg will be won by Manchester City, I am very impressed with Haaland. He is a former player who played in the Bundesliga in the previous season, of course he is quite familiar with the playing strategy of the Bundesliga team. Tuchel also has good experience time he was at Chelsea and he is a very genius coach in implementing a game plan when dealing with a strong team.

Manchester city will repeat the trend of big wins as they did against leipzig in the previous match. Playing at the Etihad Stadium is an advantage for Manchester City to control the first leg to look for points. Bayern munich this season is very strong in the champions league but unfortunately they are in a sticker crisis this season.

If we talk about the previous meetings between the two teams, Inter Milan is indeed superior to Benfica, and from these three meetings Inter Milan was able to win one victory over Benfica in 2004, and the other two matches ended in goalless draws.
and if assessing the results
The meeting of the two teams, in my opinion Benfica is not an easy opponent for Inter Milan and in the domestic league competition Benfica leads the standings which cannot be chased by domestic teams like Porto and others because of the large point difference.
so I think Benfica vs Inter Milan is an important match and also very interesting to watch, and maybe the result will be a draw and the second leg will be decisive.

I think Bavaria are grossly underestimated.  It will be very difficult for the Germans to play a rival like Manchester City in England. But we must remember that Thomas Tuchel knows Guardiola very well. Surely the German will find a way to play smart against Man City.
I think this match will be spectacular and Bayern will win.
