The match between Bodo/Glimt Vs Dinamo Zagreb was fierce, the statistics also tend to be balanced, Bodo/Glimt took advantage of their chances very well, as evidenced by their 2 shots on target, they managed to create 1 goal, while Dinamo Zagreb had 3 shots on goal. can't even score a goal.

In another match we also saw a draw in the Rangers Vs PSV match, my previous prediction was wrong about the outcome, but at least I won my bet.

I stick to what I said, the last title for Real Madrid was lucky. Donnaruma's mistake doesn't happen under normal circumstances. PSG would have kicked Real out. The second one has nothing to do with will power. When the ball gets deflected and then lands on the head of a defender who already jumped before the deflection, and then heads the ball into the back of a net in a curve that is impossible for the goalkeeper to safe, well, that's a good bit of luck then isn't it?

Also, while Real might not have recently spent that much money, they are still one of the clubs putting down a lot of money for transfers and especially salaries! Manchester City is proving that they are an insane team by winning the PL title with outrageous performances. So far they still lacked a bit of luck. I guess nobody would argue that they were the weaker team against Real Madrid in the CL, no way.

PSG is a bit different. They really have a mental problem. They totally fall apart after conceding a goal even though they still have the overall lead. Neymar is very prone to going nuts and ruin a game. He has done that so many times in the past.

Bayern is a very solid team with a strong balance also in terms of hierarchy and mental stability. They are always one of the favorites.

Not many things happen in the CL tonight, but at Rangers PSV we don't have to be bored. There it was 1-1 at half time and now it is already 2-2. I think that will also remain the final score, but it is still a total of 10 minutes, including injury time. If Rangers don't win at home, it will be difficult for them. PSV will continue to the home game with a draw as favorite, but the away goals no longer count. If it becomes 2-2 I think the chances are 65-35% in favor of PSV to qualify for the group stage of the CL.

What a poor performance from Dinamo Zagreb.I am not talking about the result as Bodo is leading by only one goal so far and if the game ends like this,I will lose my bet but for Dinamo I see them qualifying easily in the return leg.I am talking about the total domination of the game from Bodo in statistics except ball possession which is better to Dinamo,corners,shots on goals and other attacks are really talking for Bodo,for corners so far they are leading 7 to 1 and this to me says a lot about how this game is going to end,I don't see Dinamo scoring although I hope they do.

Trabzonspor already conceded a goal on the first attack. This is the only goal in all three matches in one third of the games. This score would be enough for FC Copenhagen, they can finish away game as draw and participate in Champions League. Trabzonspor need to take more risk but they also should not let second goal. We may see Bardhi and Djaniny in second half. Cornelius couldn't do much as of now.

There are UEFA Champions League Play-off 1nd leg matches tonight. Trabzonspor will face Kopenhag. Trabzonspor's starting XI against Kopenhag: Uğurcan, Larsen, Hugo, Denswil, Eren, Siopis, Bakasetas, Abdülkadir, Kouassi, Trezeguet, Cornelius. Kopenhag's starting XI against Trabzonspor: Ryan, Dils, Vavro, Khocholava, Claesson, Zeca, Lerager, Pep Biel, Haraldsson, Falk, Kristiansen. I hope Trabzonspor gets an advantageous score at tonight.

I decided not to bet on today's match, I think it's too risky to bet on this first leg match. However, if we talk about predictions, I think Rangers have a chance to beat PSV, they even beat RB Leipzig in the Europa League Semi-Finals last season. So my predictions for Rangers Vs PSV are: Rangers 1 - 0 PSV | Rangers 2 - 1 PSV | Rangers 0 - 1 PSV

For Bodo/Glimt Vs Dinamo Zagreb, this is a very difficult match to predict, they have equal team strength, so most likely the match in the first leg will end in a draw.

From of the three matches, I think the match between  Rangers and PSV  is a match worth waiting for today, PSV is still one of the big teams in my opinion, especially since they started the league journey quite well this season and will likely do the same in the play-off match later, especially in the previous match PSV managed to beat a team that was also quite strong, namely Monaco with an aggregate score of 4-3, so for today match I will try to bet on PSV victory with a final score of 1-3, while for other matches:
FC Copenhagen 1 vs 2 Trabzonspor
Bodø/Glimt 0 vs 2 Dynamo Zagreb

FC Copenhagen seems to be the favorite as they play at home, but Trabzonspor showed in the pre-match statements that they will take the field to win this match. If we compare the teams, Trabzonspor is advantageous in terms of squad quality and squad depth. FC Copenhagen has the home advantage and experience advantage. FC Copenhagen has always taken part in major tournaments for the last 22 years. They have continuity.
The absence of Visca is a big shortcoming for Trabzonspor. They will use their weapons like Cornelius and Trezeguet. This match will be a big test for Trabzonspor because they are overly guarded in the local league. They will not get such help here.

Judging by how well PSV have played in recent matches, I think they can beat Glasgow Rangers tonight. If PSV were able to draw with Monaco, I think the Rangers are a lower level. I also think it will be an interesting match between Bude-Glimt and Dinamo Zagreb. I expect that in this game we will see a beautiful battle between equal opponents. It is hard to say who will win here.

From the three games listed here and from the many years I know football I think the only bet I can place is on Dinamo Zagreb or if I want to be exactly sure to bet on them draw no bet in case they draw I get the money back.I think that the quality between Bodo/Glimt and Dinamo Zagreb is clearly different and rarely I have seen Bodo to be up at this stage in the Champions League so that is why I think this is the bet that makes more sense.

For the other games they are difficult to predict as the teams quality are nearly the same.

For Rangers vs PSV according to last season statistics for home matches Rangers were very strong even Leipzig and Dortmund cannot beat them at their home ground even before met PSV they did epic comeback against Union Saint-Gilloise with score 3-0 so in this match Rangers slightly the favourite but don't mean PSV will easily to defeated because they quite strong and probably Rangers will attempts to win to secured their position on second leg and here is the odds for them

Rangers @2.5
PSV @2.7

My prediction Rangers will win with slim score so i dare to pick them as bet option

There are 3 play-off games today.

FC Copenhagen vs. Trabzonspor
Rangers vs. PSV Eindhoven
Bodø/Glimt vs. Dinamo Zagreb

What will be your bets today?

In reality, Manchester City and PSG have been investing much more money than their competitors in their teams in recent years, but they still fail to win the Champions League.
The Champions League in the last few years has been won by Real, Chelsea and Bayern, teams that don't spend too much on new players and have a rational financial policy, unlike Manchester City and PSG.
This is just proof that it's not enough to just invest a lot of money and expect sure success, but that other factors are also important, such as building a good team from outstanding individuals, game plan and strategy, team confidence etc.
In the match, at certain moments, some moments can happen that look like ordinary luck, but only quality players and teams know how to use such moments to their advantage.
Unlike other teams, Real's players have a habit of winning and great faith in themselves and their abilities, and they are concentrated at every moment of the game and ready to take advantage of their opponent's mistakes. That is why they are the best and still the main favorites of this competition.
The pressure on the players of Manchester City and PSG to finally win the Champions League is huge and every season it gets bigger and under such huge pressure their players make mistakes in the key moments of the most important matches of the Champions League.
In the key moments of all the important matches of the Champions League, the Real players always play perfectly, without mistakes, and they should be congratulated for that.

We are already getting used to the fact that City are very close to the final, but Guardiola is constantly missing something to win the cup. This time will probably not be an exception and Manchester City will also claim the cup until the very end, but it seems to me that Bayern now looks very strong and I agree that it will depend on whether the whole squad will play, but I guess Bayern this time maybe play in the final.

That's Real Madrid for you, that's how they get things done. They Chelsea had opportunities to seal the game up but what happened ? Yes they did have some bad defending which lead to some unwanted goals. The second leg was in there favor to win all tabs after having two goals above Real Madrid but they should have known the attacking was way too much and should have changed tactics to start defending. Chelsea should have been Champions once more but they messed that shit up.

Kylian Mbappe should work on his attitude and pride else that will lead to a fall in his Career. Neymar Jr and Messi? Keen to see how things plays out, Champions League draws in the next Ten day's.

I would also count Bayern Munich in here. I expect them to play a very solid season. Many weeks to go until the decisive games really start, but it will also boil down to whether or not the teams have all their players available or whether there will be any key players injured.

Generally though I agree, these teams have the biggest quality within their squads. Not only the first eleven are world class, but they can also bring somebody from the bench and still have a world class team on the pitch. It will be another close call this year. Can't really wait to be honest. I stick to my guess though and say that Manchester City is the favorite!

You never really know what's going to happen with teams, it's always a bit shocking in UCL. Same Real Madrid that lost to Sheriff, a team worth like 10 million or even less, ended up getting the UCL trophy, UCL is like that.

But, if we see all teams play the way they suppose to, I agree that those three could be the biggest contenders. Who knows, maybe Real will win it again, or maybe they will not be even able to get out of the group stage, it's always a bit wild here. PSG and City paid so much to win it, they really want it, I do not think that they have enough patience left with the managers and the players to get it already, a finals between those two would be amazing to watch for sure.

I think the main contenders to win the Champions League trophy this season are PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid. If we take a good look at PSG's current game then we can easily understand how much form PSC is currently in. Messi and Neymar already have chemistry. We all know how terrifying the attacking duo of Neymar and Messi can be for opposing defenders. If Messi and Neymar can keep up their form then PSG can definitely win the next Champions League trophy.

It is difficult for any team to break Real Madrid record as UCL champions in a row. Before Real Madrid reached a new record as the first club to win the UCL trophy in a row, the record was considered a myth that will never be solved, but Real Madrid were able to do it.
Voting for Real Madrid as a champion candidate in the 2022/2023 season is not wrong, because Real Madrid came to the UCL this season with the status of Defending champions. But I dare not say that Real Madrid will be victorious in the UCL again this season, because in the 2022/2023 season another big team has strengthened their squad to compete to be the number one team in the UCL this season.
