I hope that Juventus can turn things around even though Juventus have to win tomorrow night's match with a score of 0-4 at home to Benfica, because in the first leg Juve were beaten at home with a score of 0-2, but at least it can open hope to stay focused on tomorrow night's match. , if you want to qualify for the last 16, even though it's difficult for Juventus, at least Jeventus can play attacking, rather than have the ball and of course Juventus have prepared their players like Pogba, Federico Chiesa, who has just recovered from his injury, because these two players are the key in the strategy of Massimiliano Allegri..

I really hope that in the Benfica Vs Juventus match, Juventus can turn things around like meeting Club Atlético de Madrid..

The biggest mistake a club makes is when they underestimate their opponent. The teams that enter the Champions League are representatives of the Domestic League they come from, every team that has qualified for the Champions League has good quality in the domestic League.
The Champions League is full of surprises, the top teams can fall prematurely because of the small mistakes they make, the teams that are taken for granted can sometimes be the killers of the big teams. Every opponent faced must be considered a strong team even though technically it can be defeated easily.

This is life and death match for Tottenham because their position will be determined through an this match and win results is mandatory for them if want to qualify and Sporting is not easy opponent for them because on the first leg Sporting has successfully beat Tottenham at their home ground with scores 2-0 so Tottenham situation doesn't good especially at their domestic league Tottenham has showed poor performance with 2 losing streak although the bookie probably placed Tottenham as the favourite in this match but i am quite doubt they will get the winning results

It is like a dream for Ajax to qualify for next round from now on. They are already six points behind Liverpool and there is no way they are closing this gap up with them. As long as they don't defeat Liverpool by at least a two-goal difference it is already near impossible for Ajax to make it. Because head-to-head statistics are prioritized in the group stage. As Ajax have a terrible goal difference statistics in the group they don't have any other choice than doing that.

Liverpool are still inconsistent recently as they lost to even Nottingham. After defeating Manchester City and West Ham both they seemed to be promising first. Anyway their recent performance in the Champions League is really impressive. I don't think they will lose to Ajax. Napoli destroyed Ajax here as you can remember. Maybe it wouldn't be the same for Liverpool but they would surely make use of Ajax's defensive weaknesses and get at least one point.

Injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota seriously affected the attacking potential of the team.
Now Liverpool have won only 4 games out of 11, nevertheless, the defeat from Nottingham is still an extraordinary event, the probability of which was negligible, but this probability did happen. Now for Liverpool, the period has come when you just need to endure, work and hope for luck, until there is no other way out for the team.

I don't think any team underestimates their opponent or opponent when competing in the Champions League. Because all teams must know that those in the Champions League are teams that are very ready and also very good in their own League, so they can be in the Champions League. So there is nothing to be underestimated and I see Manchester City have a good chance of competing until the final in the Champions League this season.

According to what you're saying here, we shouldn't expect too much of Liverpool in the game against Ajax of Netherland right. Whoever does that will get in a hot seat, because if you look at the squad and what Ajax did the other time it was some brilliant player's that helped Liverpool win the match, those player's are out injured. the midfied is my major concern they need thiago to help link the defense and attack but he will be absent also. I don't expect much goals since Salah will be be supported with assistance from those midfielder's I noticed it gets difficult for him to score goal when those players are out. Jurgen Klopp needs to act fast to save his job, but sacking him would be too harsh, he needs the clubs support at this point.

Dinamo Zagreb have only lost one of their last 5 champions league matches at home. This lost match was against Manchester City and was played in December 2019. Milan, on the other hand, had their only win against Zagreb. Looking at these statistics, it is really difficult to predict the result of the match. Milan haven't scored in their last 2 Champions League games. Although the first match was scored, I think this match will be goalless. It's a dangerous game for bettors. Because both teams are playing hard to predict.

Milan lacks consistency. They sometimes win matches and sometimes lose matches, which is very bad for the team. But Milan may be training hard to play well, as they need to strengthen their position in the points table. Milan has a chance to win the next match. Hope the coach of their team will develop tactics for the next game with enough talent.

Indeed, their game against Manchester City played quite well and could beat Manchester City after a lot of doubts were pinned on them. But don't miss that Liverpool suffered an away defeat to relegation club Nottingham Forest. Not only disappointing but also a very embarrassing result Liverpool had to lose. Liverpool's players played under their best form, causing what we've seen so far to happen. Jurgen Klopp still has not been able to overcome the problems facing Liverpool at this time, to be able to return to his form like last season.

Yes you are right, we cannot compare Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the young players we saw recently. We already know a lot about the qualities of the 2 best players in the world, they can maintain their form even in the span of a decade. While these young players have just taken over because of their performance. I can't deny that they played very well, but the question is whether they can keep that game for a long time or not. Because we often see players shine in a short time.

For a while we could see that the combination between those who play in Liverpool's forward positions was not going well. But now it appears that Liverpool's stars in the forward position have found their rhythm. Liverpool is already giving us a good game. Currently, players of all positions starting from the goalkeeper are performing very well. Liverpool may not have had a good start to the Champions League. But from the form they are currently in, it is expected that they will come back much stronger. If we watch the latest Liverpool vs Manchester City match we can see how good Liverpool played against Manchester City.

Well it looks like Liverpool have lost a lot of players due to injury including Nunez who couldn't play against Nottingham because of a muscle problem but Klopp wants him back when he will play with Ajax.
So Liverpool is in the midst of a storm of creative players having to rest a few weeks to recover, that's what Klopp has to experience now of course the performance will drop in his squad.

Milan's hunt is still struggling at least when they play away it has to be good so they can win and there is a possibility of qualifying, it depends on how the Salzburg vs Chelsea match is, but I think it can be Chelsea's victory but however Salzburg wants to qualify then he will try to get it points.
Obviously this is a bet that is awaited, who will qualify, it's still all possible.

Dinamo is the best team in Croatia without a doubt and Milan has not been doing that well both in Serie A and in Champions League but despite that I still think that it will be very difficult for Dinamo to win against Milan because the difference of league qualities between Serie A and Croatian SuperLiga.

I hope though that by placing an handicap bet on Dinamo with +1.5 goals with a really decent odd I think can make good money for us,as I doubt Milan if it wins will be able to win with more than one goal difference because Milan away has not been impressive at all.

Comparing Vinicious Junior, Mbappe or Haaland to Ronaldo or Messi right now is silly. Messi and Ronaldo are experienced players. And they have served their team for a long time. They played consistently well. But Vini or Haaland might be playing well now. But we don't know how long they can maintain their great performance or fitness. So a young player like Vinicius cannot be compared to an experienced legendary player like Ronaldo.

I think as long as they can play well and can make a big contribution to the team, then these players are already great. Because for a higher achievement it can be done in a different way, and past and present situations and conditions will certainly have differences. For example, like Maradona or maybe Pelé who was very successful in his time but in the end, his achievements are only limited to being a legend in the past and this will also continue to run and change over time. But because at this moment Ronaldo is also still playing, of course there will always be comparisons despite the fact, their era will also slowly be replaced by young players who already have a good future now.

By the way, round five will be played tomorrow with the opening match between Salzburg v Chelsea and Sevilla v Copenhagen. The two matches have different situations, because for the match Salzburg v Chelsea they are still competing to qualify for the round of 16 but on the contrary with Sevilla v Copenhagen, they have the same points but they have even been left behind by five points by the team who is in second place. So, I think the match between Salzburg v Chelsea will still be a more interesting opening match because they still have a tight competition in Group E, so they will certainly play with a big target to win and score a lot of goals.

Comparisons between players do not have to be contemporaries and are in only one team, but comparisons of each player's achievements can be made in different times and different teams and different leagues as long as one person is willing to make it for two people. In general it looks less worthy, but that doesn't mean it can't be compared because they are both football players despite the age difference, and what is clear is that Ronaldo is still far superior to Vinicius Jr in terms of football and that must be admitted by everyone.

This match is a crucial match for Ajax because they will play as hosts. obviously, their target was the full three points.
The Reds have a lot of problems with injured players, and Ajax should try to take advantage of them. considering that the home team had no other choice but to attack from the very beginning, because after all they needed a win in this match.

on the other hand, Jurgen Klopp's men are still in a disadvantageous situation. their form was questioned again after getting a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the domestic league.
This match is difficult for us to predict, both teams are not in a favorable situation.

No one expected Liverpool to lose that match against a team in the red zone in the standings. It was a huge blow to Jurgen Klopp's squad and seems to show that they haven't really become the team that many had hoped for this season. The defeat gave them a bad impression that the relegation team could still beat Liverpool. They have to swallow a bitter, painful pill.

It was neither an underestimation nor an accident. Liverpool was missing a lot of their creative players and Nottingham simply played good enough defensively to stop them from scoring.

I can't wait for the Dinamo - Milan game tomorrow. I feel that we do have a chance to win - I wasn't impressed with Milan so far in the CL. It would be great if Chelsea could win too, then they would already be qualified before the last game of the group - in which they host Dinamo in London.
