Bad day for Atletico Madrid they didn't expect Porto to score early so that it affects the mentality of Atletico players
If Porto manage to keep the win until the last minute then Atletico Madrid must be eliminated and La Liga only has Real Madrid in the UCL

Porto 2-0  Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid has been trailing since the start of the match against Porto. They conceded only in the sixth minute. This is Porto's home match. I bet on Porto to win. But my guess is that the match will be competitive. But the players of Atletico Madrid are not playing well. Atletico Madrid has players like Griezmann and Correra in attack but they are not performing well. They conceded two goals in just 25 minutes. I don't think it is possible for Atletico Madrid to win this match. My prediction is Porto will win this match 2-1.


Club Brugge is playing somewhat defensively against Leverkusen. Even in 35 minutes, they could not score any goal. Brugge has already qualified for the knockout rounds. So this match is not important for them.

Rangers vs Ajax there is nothing to expect unless Ajax can hold on to a draw and the victory is definitely not an interesting spectacle, but from Group A what is interesting is Liverpool vs Napoli whether at Anfield as the host can avenge their defeat in Napoli with a score of 4- 1? I know Liverpool are not in good form they continue to suffer unexpected defeats in their domestic league while Napoli are still going strong on that win so I think I want to see this game even though both have qualified.

The situation could change after any match. I wouldn't be so sure that Tottenham can easily beat Marseille away. Just as Eintracht will lose to Sporting, although here I also think Sporting will win. But in this group today everyone is motivated to the max. Hopefully we will see a lot of goals.

The matches for Groups A and B are simply no longer interesting apart from seeing them battling for the Europa League. Napoli, Liverpool, Club Brugge and Porto are all guaranteed to qualify for the next round so matches in this group are no longer interesting to me.

The match in Group D is certainly very interesting because all teams have the opportunity to qualify for the next round. I think Tottenham will be favorites to qualify, but I won't ignore Marseille playing at home. Tottenham may have to ensure themselves to represent the Premier League to the next round in addition to Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea who have definitely qualified.

This is a very open group stage in the UEFA Champions League this season and i would love to argue that it is the closest this season haha. As it stands, Any of Tottenham, Sporting, Frankfurt and Marseille could qualify from the group. Who are you supporting ? Reasons ?

 

honestly it is very sad and humiliating what juventus is going through, this juventus coach should have left a long time ago, we don't even have a guaranteed place for the europe league we don't have, even if we are in a group that we could have had points to pass to another phase, but with this coach we are still only with 3 points, and we are going to lose against PSG, because PSG will play with all the best players because they need to win to be in first place in the group and they know that benfica will beat Maccabi, juventus just have to pray not to concede too many goals against PSG and pray that benfica scores many goals against Maccabi, in this way, juventus will go to the europe league in a humiliating way

Rangers - Ajax

ajax win

Liverpool - Napoli

if Napoli doesn't play with all their good players then they will lose, but I believe the liverpool coach won't risk putting all their best players, he already has a lot of injured strikers, he can't take any more risk

FC Porto - Atletico Madrid

FC Porto win

Bayer Leverkusen - Club Bruges

Club Bruges win

Bayern Munich - Inter

bayern will probably let main players rest, inter also let players rest, so this will be an unimportant game

Viktoria Plzen - Barcelona

barcelona wins and goes to europe league 

tottenham are unstable but need to win if they want to move to another phase

Sporting CP - Eintracht Frankfurt

 Eintracht win

The most interesting group at the moment. I bet that Tottenham and Sporting will win and advance to the playoffs. About Tottenham I'm sure because I don't think Conte can fail that much, but about Sporting I think so because they play at home and Eintracht is not such a strong team that you can't beat them.

Rangers and Ajax have certainly been eliminated from the Champions League, their points acquisition cannot match the acquisition of Napoli and Liverpool. Rangers condition is more tragic than Ajax, although they managed to get a win at home, the chances of qualifying for the Europa League are very small. The difference in goals from Ajax makes Rangers have no hope of being able to appear in the Europa League.

Ajax only needs to get a draw in this match, the previous meeting with Rangers put Ajax as the seeded team despite their status as a guest team. Ajax will try to play casually without having to rush into the Rangers defense, Ajax players only need to control the game to secure a point.

We think it will be easier for Ajax in this match, because they are experiencing a positive trend in the Dutch league, Ajax's last two matches in the league have always won by a large number of goals, this positive trend has become their capital against Rangers, although the result of the match will not have an impact on whatever the result for both, it won't be an interesting match, because in the other match Liverpool will face Napoli.

Both teams have definitely been eliminated from the champions league competition this season, because regardless of the score they get but it will no longer affect Napoli and Ajax, who have already qualified for the round of 16, in my opinion there is still a chance for Rangers to play in the european league because even though ajax already has 3 points but the opportunity for Rangers to play in the european league is still very open even though it seems a bit difficult, because in addition to having to get 3 points but they also have to be able to win on goal difference from Ajax later and of course playing in the European league could be a target for Ranger today.

I have no doubt that Ajax will win this game, especially after the serious defeat in the game against Liverpool. Although both clubs are no longer motivated and out of the Champions League, I think Ajax are much stronger than Rangers. If they perform like they did away to Napoli, they should win without any problems.

The competition in Group D is indeed very tight, all teams from this group still have the chance to qualify for the round of 16. Tottenham are currently at the top of the standings with 8 points, while Marseille are at the bottom. Marseille is only two points adrift of Tottenham, if they can win against Tottenham, Marseille will secure a ticket to the last 16.
Tottenham only need a draw to qualify for the last 16, but if they want to finish as group winners Tottenham must beat Marseille or hope the Sporting vs Frankfurt match ends in a draw.

Rangers have only managed to score 1 goal out of 5 matches played in the Uefa Champions League tournament, it seems that Rangers are still not a team that are capable of playing against big teams in major football tournament. I think Rangers will struggle to score goal against Ajax today and there is a high chance for them to lose again to Ajax in front of their home fans.

You look so confident that Juventus will lose?

If ilook at these players, then in quality Juve lost a quarter of their strength. Di Maria performed well but after her arrival she was injured, even though I saw her performance was very convincing. But I'm sure Juventus performed carefree because they definitely didn't qualify and fought for UEL.
Looking PSG, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe on fire seem very difficult to stop them. Juventus have to work hard they have to lock up these three players.

Lol, you compare Barcelona to Plzen and state that both teams are very strong?
Although Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is not so good at this moment, it doesn't mean that Barcelona and Plzen have the same performance. In fact, Plzen have so far not gotten any points at all and also, quality-wise they are clearly two different teams and I don't think it would be correct to say Plzen and Barcelona are two very strong teams.

Instead of declaring they are two very strong teams, it would be better to say these two teams are weak at this moment, but still Barcelona are the clear favorites on matchday against Plzen.


Yes, even though Barcelona lost, but the position in the standings will remain the same as that for Barcelona to remain in third place and for Plzen at the bottom of the standings. Maybe Plzen will still aim for at least a point, as it would be better for them to get out of the Champions League with a point than nothing.
But unfortunately, it seems that Barcelona will also not give Plzen a win because the match in the Champions League has prestige which of course Barcelona will still win the match.

What's more, the continuation of the match in La Liga for Barcelona did not find difficult opponents so yes, it looks like this last matchday will still be used for Barcelona to win.

This is indeed an interesting group to look forward to, because all teams still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 until the last matchday of the group phase. But if I consider the results on paper, it looks like Tottenham and Sporting have a better chance of qualifying for the round of 16.
As for Frankfurt, it will still be in third place which will take it to the Europa League, while for Marseille I am not sure about this team because recently Marseille have had poor results.

Therefore, the current position where the sequence is Tottenham, Sporting, Frankfurt and Marseille, I believe this will also be the final position for them, let's wait because anything can still happen.

Juventus has a critical game tomorrow where they need to get a minimum of a draw against PSG in order to have a chance to go to Europa League although they need to win this game to be sure of them to go in Europa League.It would be hugely catastrophic that a team like Maccabi to go in Europa League instead of Juventus which can bring much more to Europa League than Maccabi can.The problem is that even if Juventus is completely eliminated it is only their fault after their disastrous games against Maccabi and if Maccabi gets a good result against Benfica then most probably the biggest surprise will happen,they will move forward to Europa League and Juventus to be eliminated.

But if you compare between Tottenham and Marseille at this time I still feel that Tottenham are still a little better, Tottenham's problem is only in their midfield which is not very good at the moment, but in contrast to Marseille at this time they are in chaos and their performances have decreased compared to last season. then.
But for Tottenham at the moment apart from them not having Conte on the sidelines they are also difficult now because of Kulusevski, Richalrison and Cristian Romero which of course will make them a bit difficult for the midfield at the moment.

There are no chances for Juventus.

This is the situation of missing players

There will be no beautiful game since both will not be able to go to the next stage. I guess barcelona will try to take full points caused by barcelona wanna try to secure the third position to be able to go to the europa league.
It has been predicted that if barcelona will be playing in the europa league. Plzen has zero point after all while barcelona has only 4 points. There's no even need for barcelona to play seriously in this game against plzen.
Barcelona can play fun football against plzen. Both wiill be going out from champion league.
