Topic: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season - page 371. (Read 92696 times)

In my opinion, there are no clear leaders in today's matches. On paper it's certainly Manchester City and Inter, but I think Leipzig or Porto could also win. Especially Leipzig, who drew the first game. If they can show the same level of football today as they did in the last game, Manchester City will definitely be out of luck.

There is no doubt. It is going to be a very serious clash between the Citizens and the Red Bulls.
But in this match I have never entertained doubt that Manchester City will proceed to the next level of the Champions League competition.

It is very difficult for any team to come to the Etihad Stadium and beat Manchester City in this present form and condition. They in the last time that Manchester City got draw against the Red Bulls was because their strong midfielder was not in the match but this time around Kevin is there to connect Haaland so it is going to be a totally different story for Manchester City.

It's hopefully going to be a goal-goal game on the score sheet, I've already predicted several goals, and it's also undoubtedly a difficult game for the English team. The red bulls are in fantastic shape and wouldn't give up their position to catch up with the city. Manchester City has a stronger chance of qualifying than RB Leipzig, who would likely be in difficulty. Pep Guardiola is a skilled coach with sophisticated tactics, and the Etihad stadium has a reputation for humbling elite clubs. Whatever Pep Guardiola has in store for the guests, Marcos Rose is prepared to face it.

They got problems with their striker position. Edin Dzeko is old and can not play in all matches while Lukaku had many injuries since his return to the club. Their coach Simeone Inzaghi failed to combine Lautaro and Lukaku successfully like Antonio Conte did years ago. However, Lukaku is a type of striker needs to have his best fitness to play well because his style depends so much on physical power. In this season, we barely see Lukaku is fully ready for matches that affects his appearances as well as performance for Inter Milan.

They have some advantages. Playing at their home stadium Etihad. Having feeling that they can dominate Leipzig like in the first leg. However they must learn their lesson from the first leg that they must convert opportunities to goals as best as possible. They must finalize hope of Leipzig when they have chances because that opponent are not weak mentally and if the gap is not big, they can return any time.

Manchester City in many season shows that they are very sensitive when matches have suddenly big changes and mostly they failed to regain their control to beat the opponent.

You are right about Inter Milan who sometimes play very well when facing strong teams but instead their performance suffers a little when dealing with opponents who are statistically below them. In Serie A, Inter Milan suffered defeat by Spezia. and of course surprise everyone. and after seeing Inter's defeat by Spezia in Serie A. so of course this has an impact on decreasing our trust in Inter Milan in the second leg against Porto. but Inter Milan sometimes surprises us because they always turn out to be a tough team when faced with a tough team too. so it's a little difficult to predict the match this time.

Let's see how will Inter react tonight after they lose at Friday. This year they tend to win big games and lose to small teams. Having that in mind they should do good against Porto. Also Gosens has picked some injury so he won't play but not such a big of deal since Di Marco was first option for Inzagi.

Maybe Manchester City can be held to a draw by RB Leipzig in the first leg. but for the second leg match I am quite sure of the advantages that Manchester City has. as the host, Manchester city also always plays to the max when entertaining their guests at the Etihad stadium. But RB Leipzig is indeed a strong team and should not be underestimated. but I believe the coach has prepared the best strategy because Pep Guardiola has enough experience to overcome a team like RB Leipzig.

I'm not as optimistic as you about Inter.  Porto is a very strong team and the match is in Portugal.  I will not bet because I find the Inter match risky, as we have witnessed poor results in Italy recently.  Manchester City win, I think, will be one of the sure wins.

If we compare these teams, then of course City is much stronger, but in the first match they could not keep the victory, and today it should be easier because City on Etihad shows very cool results. Of course, anything can happen, but I expect there will be many goals today, despite the fact that this is a very important, decisive match for these teams.

today we have two big games and I'm thinking about which game I'm going to choose to watch, what annoys me the most and when there are many good games at the same time and then I'm undecided on which game I'm going to choose to watch and after choosing the game, I understand that the game was not pleasant, in the case of today's games, city is a team that when playing, people are always happy, even if the result is not pleasant sometimes, but pep gruardiola has a very good style of play . on the other side we have porto that also manages to play well in the portuguese league, but in the champions league in their last game against inter they didn't play well and inter don't play well, honestly i was very irritated with the inter game - porto , but at the end of the game even though I didn't like the game itself, I hit my bet so I made a profit

My guesses for today's two games:

Manchester City FC - RB Leipzig

this odd of @1.33 is enough to be funny in case city wins in this game, I say that because despite city being a team that has better players in relation to its opponent and city playing at home and also coming from sequences of wins in the premier league, this will not be an easy game for city, I believe that waiting 20 minutes or more of the game will be the best option for the odd to increase at least to @1.70 which I would consider a good odd to bet on city. in the first leg when city scored a goal what was seen afterwards was that city shrunk in defense and no longer posed danger to RB Leipzig, RB Leipzig started to dominate the game and it was a matter of time for RB Leipzig to score a goal and draw the game. that's why I see this odd of @1.33 in favor of city as being very low and exaggerated

FC Porto - FC Inter Milano

On paper this is a very balanced game, but in practice these two teams are a disaster, Porto in the Portuguese league has won games thanks to luck and Inter have problems in attack and defense, although they don't concede many goals. in my opinion this will be a game with few goals, and that can end in a draw, but I see porto being the favorite in my opinion, because if inter plays as they have been playing then they can lose in this game, I will not be surprised with inter defeat, I'll watch the game for a few minutes and then I'll decide what to do

Manchester City will play against RB Leipzig in UEFA Champions League Second League. This Second League match will be held at Manchester City's home ground.  Manchester City's record at the ground is excellent. They are undefeated in the last 23 matches. And Manchester City will be favorites in this match. However, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said that RB Leipzig are very strong opponents and there is no chance of taking them lightly. Especially when they attack, the left bag position and the right back position rise up and attack with a total of eight, which is very difficult to stop. Manchester City will definitely play to win this match.  Because Pep Guardiola says he is a failure as a coach if they don't win this season's Champions League trophy.  So of course Manchester City will play to win and confirm the Super Eight stage.

Also, Manchester City takes on RB Leipzig. I don't believe they can compete with Manchester City, and these days Haaland isn't given many opportunities to perform effectively, so the two clubs have a tie overall. I have a very strong feeling that Manchester City will win or the game will end in a draw. Everything about RB Leipzig is always similar to that of Manchester City, even down to their formation. Let's see how the match turns out today.

I'm not so sure about that. however, it is possible that it could happen. after all, both teams both need a win in this decisive match. but, I suspect this fight will go one way. meaning, Manchester City will dominate the course of the match. armed with the first leg match, City completely dominated the game even though the battle was held at the Leipzig headquarters.

In this match, City will play more aggressively and will not let the opposing team dictate the course of the match. referring to City's predicted line-up, Pep will use the same pattern as before with a 3-2-4-1 formation. plus, De Brunye is ready to fight. for the rest, nothing has changed with the players Pep has fielded. however, the role of the duet of Benardo Silva and Rodri will be quite central in this match as a double pivot.

On the other hand, referring to some predictions of Leipzig's starting line-up. it seems, there is a high probability that there will be a change in the pattern applied by Marco Rose. however, as usual, they would only rely on counterattacks. so, Leipzig will tend to play deeper like in the previous match. but by the way, these are just my predictions and do not determine their correctness.

Referring to the available odds, if we bet on City with odds @1.32 the result is not so favorable for me. I would go out on a limb to prefer betting on over 2.75 goals. and hopefully, I'm lucky.

I think the Manchester City vs RB Leipzig match will be fiercer than we expected. as was the case in the first leg, RB Leipzig had a pretty good strategy in stopping the attacks built by Manchester City. Haaland was even heavily guarded and didn't get many chances in the first leg. but because Manchester City is playing at home. then of course Manchester city will be far superior. But I doubt there will be many goals in this game.

Football is a sport where every score can happen, but to be realistic, there are very few teams in the world that can make this success of Barcelona.  Even if Real Madrid comfortably maintains this score advantage, they will leave with a draw and pass the round.  Liverpool's job is very difficult, especially when the defeat in the league in the last match broke their morale.

Inter Milan were not consistent this season and last week surprisingly they were lose from weak team Spezia and 1-0 is not secure scores for Inter because possibly Porto can able to bounce back and scores more than 2 goals in this match but probably Inzaghi will pushing Inter to playing more defensive because we all know Porto were very productive during play at their home and on group stage and their domestic league i have seen Porto can able to win with big scores so often

Porto will playing without Otavio who got suspension but Inter conditions probably is not really good compared to Porto because Correa still got injured and Skriniar still has uncertain conditions and last week Inter were playing without these players and they cannot performing well and today if these players were unable to played i think Inter might be in trouble and i have opposite thought than you that Porto probably will going to win the match and Porto win has odds @2.55

Inter's aggregate goal advantage doesn't seem to be convincing for Inter to win and advance to the quarterfinals because Inter are only one goal ahead at the moment and also competing as a away team will definitely be a little different if it's the other way, Porto still have a chance to win the match later, that's why we seeing Porto have lower odds due to home factors
City odds are very low but not impossible to lose.
Choosing these two matches in a parlay is also not wrong because by making them a parlay so that you get better profits compared to single bet but you must be prepared if it turns out to be a losing bet.

Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham are fighting for UCL and it's only natural. All of them are strong enough to want to take part in Europe's most prestigious tournament, and every team wants to take part in this tournament. It's been a bad season for Liverpool. It is therefore acceptable that their chances for the top four are the same as for the other two teams. If they join UCL next year, what kind of staff will they seek success with?

Indeed, the odds for the Manchester City vs Leipzig match are so small for Manchester City to win. But if the Manchester City odds are combined with the Inter odds, I think it's better than having to bet with a single bet. At least you will get almost a profit of up to 3 times your bet money. I think there is no doubt to bet on a win for Manchester City and Inter, at least Manchester City have the upper hand as hosts and Inter have an aggregate lead at the moment.

I have no doubt about Manchester City advancing to quarter final. In fact they are my favorite to win the trophy along with Napoli. Leipzig is a good team but they need miracles today.
My eyes will be on Porto - Inter game. Inter had some poor performances against Bologna and Spezia. I believe Porto can eliminate Inter at home. If Mehdi Taremi plays, it will be hard for Inter to stop him.
