With home dominance usually guaranteed, the Champions League is again the biggest and major target for PSG and Bayern Munich this season, though the Bavarians could have the edge in the first leg of the teams’ Round of 16 clash. The Germans have a 100% record in the competition this term, while PSG have already failed to win twice in the tournament (vs Benfica). The Parisians’ team has a more imbalanced look than Bayern, so I expect a both team score and unpredictable total outcome of this match.
I said a big match like this will be very difficult to predict how the final result will be. When talking about targets, surely the target of a big team like them is to become champions, especially for Paris Saint Germain, who in the last few seasons they have really wanted the Champions League trophy, but several times they tried and several times they failed too. So this will be a difficult match to predict, both teams have the same chance to qualify.
This could be true, because indeed with conditions like this when the 2 teams competing are big teams, moreover they are the 2 rulers in their respective domestic leagues, it is clear that it will be a little complicated to find out who will be the winner.
But of course we have some more judgment for pre-match betting.
Currently, the possibility for a draw in the first leg can still be used as the right bet, although it is certain that PSG will be made the favorites, especially when they are playing at home.
But on the other hand Bayern could bite because indeed when looking at the conditions of their experience and potential it is clear that Bayern will really be something real to be a winner.
Both PSG and Bayern Munich are big teams in their respective leagues, and they both are at the top of the standings for the time being, so it's hard to predict which of them will be the winner. If we see PSG with all their glamour, I think they will be favorites in the first leg (moreover they will be playing at home). However, the effectiveness of the Bayern Munich players cannot be underestimated either because they are a good team after all and they have the capability to beat PSG.
If PSG and Bayern Munich compete, I think PSG will win. Because Bayern Munich's current performance is not very good. The balance in the team is not right. But the PSG team is currently in the best performance. So PSG is more likely.

PSG is unquestionably a better team now that Messi is a part of it. And let's not overlook the fact that Bayern Munich is also a formidable opponent; they've hoisted the Champions League trophy on several occasions, and they're currently atop the Bundesliga. Each squad brings some great skill to the pitch, so this should be an exciting contest. Whoever wins, it's going to be an extraordinary for sure.

Milan's performance has started to drop too much in the recent times you know. They got a huge loss today versus Sassuolo with a 5-2 score. Their defensive effort was just unbelievably bad and their goalkeeper could have performed better as well. This performance must be really worrying for them considering the Champions League. Because they can have serious issues against Tottenham which are a team that have very capable strikers - Kane being in the first place.

Tottenham started to seem a little ahead of Milan to reach next stage here in my opinion. I don't say that they have a wonderful form but Milan's condition is like a little worse than Tottenham's.

Sometimes the performance in the Domestic league does not influence the performance in other leagues, Most especially when the league is the champion league. I don't expect anything less from Liverpool as long as it has to do with the UEFA champion league. so no matter the current performance, I still believe that Liverpool's match against Real Madrid may become the most shocking football tail in the history of the 2022/23 champion league tournament
Even if Liverpool is not in their best performance in EPL,  their performance in champions league is not bad like the records they have in EPL.  It won't be a surprise that Liverpool will play real madrid a tough game.

A club may possess a formidable character for a very long period, and this may be because of one or two key players who play a very important role in the team. For some clubs, This player may not be too outstanding (like in Chelsea we have Cante, in Manchester united we have Casimero and Bruno, in Liverpool, it was Sadio Mane whose effort and sacrifices were underappreciated until his departure. Liverpool will be back to its winning consistency glory days but it may take time.
I think it's called a "culture". Some teams have a culture and even though there could be some changes to the team here and there, it really doesn't matter that much because those players will learn more about the culture and will end up playing accordingly.

This definitely does make some changes for everyone, but that is because if the team has that, then even after or during these bad years like Liverpool has, they  could change some of the tactics or get new players or sell some older ones and they will still be a good team because they have a winning culture. I bet that Liverpool will be great again next year, they just had one bad season that's it, unlucky, but they will be back at the top soon. Just not this year Cheesy neither UCL nor EPL looks good for them this year.

I still think that PSG are in a better condition than Bayern Munich at the moment.

The reason why is that I see Bayern Munich lost their scoring productivity quite a lot lately. This is why they got unsatisfying results in the Bundesliga these days. They are able to find a lot of chances to score in fact but it is all about the finishing skills. I know that PSG also lost to Rennes and Lens away. But I'm not very surprised with those losses. Because these were both tough away games for PSG especially while they didn't have some players in their trio in each one of the games. Otherwise they are still a very strong team when they have Mbappe, Messi and Neymar all on the field.

If PSG maintain a good streak while Bayern Munich are having the same issues then I will be favouring PSG to advance more than before.

Form at which Bayern Munich is right now it seems it will be hard for them to challenge PSG.  Previous matches of Bayern Munich it can be seen that Bayern Munich is not in a better form and this will be a chance for PSG to acquire victory if they meet to win Bayern Munich.

I think it's a reference in the Bundesliga, we know the club will pay serious attention to what they face in the future. Bayern Munich's lack of appearance in the Bundesliga could be part of their preparation for the Champions League

The quality of Bayern Munich's game can change when the Champions League starts. I can't comment further because I haven't seen their performance in the Champions League after the long break

It's interesting if we look at their last matches in the domestic league (in 3 matches) these two clubs can be said to have decreased, 2 defeats for Paris Saint Germain and 3 draws for Bayern Munich. With their performances declining like that, it becomes more difficult for us to determine who is the favourite, because they decreased simultaneously. In the end, we still have to see their first leg match to get an idea of how they will play in the second leg later. Time is running out for us to really be in that game.

It seems to me that Bayern and PSG were discussed in the same way in 2020 when these two clubs played in the Champions League final. Even then it was commented that PSG is a better team, with more expensive footballers, a more glamorous club etc.
In the end, we know how that story ended, Bayern defeated PSG and became European champion, and PSG is still waiting for its first European title.
It seems to me that PSG has great footballers, but they still don't have a great team, which can be seen from the results in the French league, where they are not convincing and have a very small advantage over the competition.
It is an open secret that the relationship between Mbappe and Neymar is seriously damaged and that is why their game is not at the highest level.

What you say is the truth but we can see how down the form of Bayern has been in the last few matches. At this time, we see that Bayern only got a few series in the Bundesliga. This shows that something is wrong in the club. Bayern continued to dominate in the match but always failed to take advantage of the many golden opportunities to score goals. There is still a long way to go for Bayern to show improvement in the club's performance in the local league. There is still a lot of work to be done by Nagelsmann in this regard focusing on how to sharpen Bayern's attack against the enemy. PSG will be hardest opponent for bayern.

I know the list of clubs that wil not escape the champion league round 16 phases and club Brugge is one of them.
so far this season, Club Brugge started with an outstanding performance, but after the Qatar 2022 FIFA world cup break, I discovered a sudden depreciation in their performance. Right now they are not good to be compared to Benfica who's currently at the top of their domestic league.
It seems that the 2022 world cup international break factor resulted in a decrease in performance for the Club Brugge squad. I don't know exactly what happened but in the last 5 matches Club Brugge in the domestic league only got 4 draws and 1 draw is a pretty bad result if they want to maintain consistency ahead of the UCL match against Benfica later.
I also see in the Belgian league standings that club Brugge's performance continues to decline (even now they are ranked 6th with 4 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 matches) and if they continue like this I doubt they will be able to face Benfica in the UCL later.

No doubt with Bayern Munich have 100% winning record in Champion League group stage, but have drastically different performance after FIFA World Cup 2022 after three draw from last three matches. How possibility with Bayern Munich keep continue their winning record at Champion League this season after facing inconsistency performance in domestic league.

Sadio Mane still absent for first UEFA Champion League match and make Bayern have inconsistency performance in domestic league, I don't think with Sadio Mane has possibility will back recovery at second leg or not because he most important player for Bayern Munich right now.

I think everyone agrees that Bayern Munich has more experience of champions league finals compared to PSG. If there is any consolation, PSG would be counting on Messi who has played against this team while at Barcelona.  Seeing football is more than an individual effort but more of a team spirit, am keeping this game locked with a win or draw from Bayern Munich.
Between Tottenham vs AC Milan, Tottenham may not be in top form, but if they can prevent the wide crosses that lead onto a counter attack and keep the game slow, they would topple A c. Milan.

The AC Milan vs Tottenham match in the Champions League will be held in about 2 weeks from now.
2 weeks are long enough to fix minor issues but it is too short and is not enough to fix major problems.

Quote
So that the current performance of the two teams cannot be a strong reference for later. But AC Milan might indeed be the favorite in this match. because AC Milan hosted the match. But we also need to know that currently AC Milan's performance has decreased slightly. even lately AC Milan has not won back either in Serie A or in the Coppa Italia. Even in Serie A AC milan has suffered a big defeat by Lazio with a score of 4-0.
From latest performances from AC Milan, they are likely facing with major problems that need more than 2 weeks to resolve. Tottenham in contrast, have very good form recent weeks and they will likely be able to maintain it until the match with AC Milan in Champions League.

Quote
But as I said that the last 16 match for AC Milan vs Tottenham will take place in 2 weeks from now. so maybe at that time AC Milan will return to their best performance again. But if until then AC Milan don't show their best form again then I think Tottenham will probably win the last 16 match later.
It is only your hope and I think your belief is untrue. AC Milan likely have something serious in their team and not only because of temporary form so that they will hardly to fix it all within 2 weeks.

Compare their latest forms and their problems especially AC Milan, I think Tottenham should be considered as a stronger team in their first-leg match even it will be hosted in San Siro, a home stadium of AC Milan.

AC Milan welcome Tottenham to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the first leg of the teams’ Champions League Round of 16 tie on Tuesday, February 14thAC Milan are favourites to get the better result against the English side Tottenham in the first leg of the sides’ Round of 16 tussle in the Champions League. Tottenham have failed to impress for the majority of the 2022/23 club campaign and frustrations about the team’s style of play under Antonio Conte has contributed to the gloomy mood around the club. AC Milan will hope to take advantage of their visitor’s plight in the first leg of the Round of 16, and though they lost twice to Chelsea in the Champions League group stage, the Milanese giants have the quality to produce an improved performance against a weaker Spurs outfit. With that considered, I sucumb to the fact that the hosts is going to win this one.

The AC Milan vs Tottenham match in the Champions League will be held in about 2 weeks from now. So that the current performance of the two teams cannot be a strong reference for later. But AC Milan might indeed be the favorite in this match. because AC Milan hosted the match.

Tottenham favorite in AC Milan vs Tottenham match. Tottenham captain Lloris. The team has progressed very well under his leadership. But Harry Kane is not able to support the team like before. Tottenham now need to recruit some new attacking players to the squad.
