Man United and Galatasaray in the first round both failed to get full points. Man United lost to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, while Galatasaray were drawn by their guests FC Copenhagen. Of course, this match will be very interesting and will definitely be intense, both teams will want to get full points in the match. So I don't agree if you say Galatasaray is not a tough opponent.

Now Galatasaray are going into this match with high confidence because they are unbeaten this season. Moreover, ahead of the UCL match, Galatasaray also had three consecutive wins in the Turkish League, including last weekend beating Ankaragucu 2-1. Galatasaray's consistent performance in local competitions makes them motivated to show the same performance in the UCL. Because winning this match would be the ideal result that would continue Galatasaray's positive trend. This is different from Man United which is currently in an inconsistent trend. My prediction is that Galatasaray will win this match.
This will be a very important match for both of them to get full points because if they lose they will lose their chance to advance to the next round. When compared with the players owned by Manchester United, we can conclude that Galatasaray is not a tough opponent as a favorite for that group. Champions League competency usually always looks at the experience and quality of the players the team has, although they cannot ignore opponents who do not have great players who have experience in the Champions League.

Manchester United have not had a great showing for the previous few games and so far they have not been consistent at all. But if they play like they did against Bayern Munich, I'm sure they will be able to beat Galatasaray and the match will take place at Old Trafford and they certainly don't want to be embarrassed by the Türkiye representatives.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League features Napoli versus Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti and his squad will travel to Maradona Stadium to take on the Naples. We anticipate the best qualities from both teams, however the last time they meant it was in the UCL in 2017, when Real Madrid defeated Napoli 3-1 both home and away, making the score 6-2 on aggregate. Napoli have been incompatible in games, but they should be able to secure a draw against Los Blancos because we all know how demanding Madrid is in UCL competition.

Last season Napoli looked very strong but lost to Madrid. This season maybe their conditions are quite the same. Napoli don't look like last season. Madrid are the same, at the moment they are not in so good condition after several main players were injured. Supposedly with conditions like this Napoli should be able to get at least 1 point. Last season's statistics will not have much influence for the time being. Because football is always difficult to determine the final result.

Statistically, Man United is clearly superior in all respects to Galatasaray, but that cannot be completely taken for granted. considering that Man United is in a condition that is far from stable. In fact, in my opinion if Galatasaray is able to dominate and apply pressure it will make Man United lose even more direction in the game. So even though Man United is the favorite, personally I still have a little hope that Galatasaray can also play better in the UCL.

Galatasaray likes to play high-scoring football, but at the same time they concede a lot of goals, Copenhagen scored two goals against them in the first round, so I expect that Manchester United will be able to score no less. But Galatasary’s attack is also good, so it seems to me that in this match there will be a total of more than 2.5 goals. Manchester United must win at Old Trafford to maintain their chances of reaching the play-offs.
The head-to-head meetings of Manchester United and Galatasaray have it that both teams have met each other three times in the Champions League, and in their three times meeting, Manchester United have won twice while Galatasaray has won once. The last time that both teams played against each other was around 2016 and Manchester United won by 5-2.

It will be hard to predict the team to win this time around if  Manchester United and Galatasaray play against each other tomorrow, but if I had to base my prediction on how each side has performed this season, Galatasaray would defeat Manchester United.
I think if Manchester United's performance is still the same as last time, this will certainly be a match they can win for sure. However, with Manchester United's current situation, even a draw would be very lucky and if not, it is likely that Manchester United will lose. Even though this time Manchester United has the opportunity to host, it is not a complete guarantee for them to win easily and on the contrary, Galatassaray will take advantage of the unstable situation of the Red Devils to steal victory. Maybe in this match there won't be many goals scored and I think there will probably only be one goal or two goals throughout the match. What is certain is that I still doubt Manchester United to win this time.

Here is the current odds for both teams

Napoli @2.60
Real Madrid @2.50

This is interesting match and the recent conditions from them also not quite different because in the last 2 matches at their domestic league whether it Real Madrid or Napoli can able to win with big scores and i know based on head to head statistics Real Madrid is more good than Napoli but those statistics cannot be used as the reference anymore because Napoli much better now

In champion league i have to says both teams still unable to displayed good performance because in the first match Real Madrid have to hard struggle even they have to scored at injury time to beat Lens even so with Napoli that the winning result against Braga is not too satisfied because they should be able to win with big scores at that time and Napoli was very strong at their home ground in champion league because since last season they were unbeatable 13 matches in a row so this is big challenge to Real Madrid whether they can able to beat Napoli today or Napoli will being an the winner of this match
yesterday I said here that dont equate the performance of domestic league matches with UCL matches or we cant analyze through domestic league matches because in this UCL match really requires a very big performance and here it will be proven who will really be the strongest team for can qualify for the next round to win the UCL title. and related to analyzing statistics, of course Real Madrid will be superior because in the past h2h Real Madrid still had CR7, Benzema, Sergio Ramos and several other star players who gave a very big advantage and at that time Napoli did not have Osimhen.

and currently the situation is very different because Benzema and other reliable players have left Madrid and currently only rely on Joselu and Bellingham who are currently in strong condition and on the one hand Napoli still has their flagship player Osimhen who will be relied on to be able to provide scores better to secure victory. but we have to remember that Napoli have an unfinished problem with Osimhen so there will be a slight impact on Napoli performance.

betting on this match would be better to choose the safest option.

Salzburg Sociedad match tonight is very important defining group d's end in my opinion. Such a competitive group we got there honestly. Benfica's loss made things weird. I don't think Real Sociedad is weak team that will be easily defeated by Salzburg. I suppose we may see draw here favoring Salzburg in the long run because that would be enough for them to at least secure their position 1 more CL week in my opinion.

Napoli - Real Madrid is obviously the biggest game tomorrow. The odds are just too close to each other. Real Madrid are favoured for the win by a small margin. But it will be a very challenging game for both teams that's for sure. Napoli have been a little inconsistent these days. They didn't make the start they exactly wanted.

But they are still a powerful team now. Real Madrid and them both couldn't get comfortable wins on the first week of the group stage. Therefore it is really hard to predict the result of this game. My opinion is that we can see a draw with goals here.

It wasn't that big of a surprise because their opponents were not that strong either. But what is true is that nobody expected them to go that far before the season and also during the season when they had problems from time to time. But most surprising and also promising for the next season was their performance during the final against Manchester City and they could have won it. That was impressive and their mission probably is to repeat this one more time and stand in the final again. Their group is easier this time, but that doesn't mean their knockout stage opponents would be any easier. Most likely they would be much stronger than last time.

Yep, And now UCL has come to Milan.

Benfica's loss to Salzburg will make this match very important for them.
Even though statistically, Inter has never lost against Benfica in 5 matches so far, this will be a demanding match.
Inter must present high intensity and play seriously. Players must not make mistakes like they did against Real Sociedad.
Lautaro Martinez has started this season strong, and I hope Lautaro Martinez cooking again in this game.
My prediction is 2-0 for Inter

Yep, there are always big surprises in UCL. Just look at Inter when they enter the final? I never predicted that. There are many clubs who are stically better than Inter last year. But Inter managed to give a big squeeze all the way to the Final. Indeed, any prediction is okay. But I'm not sure about the current state of affairs yet. Many teams are strong and difficult to predict in every game that will happen.
Some teams got advantage with drawing matches after knock out round and Inter Milan excited with unpredictable teams success lead to final stage last season, depend with their drawing after knock out round not faced with bigger teams and make them easily lead to final stage difference with Manchester City drawing match. They faced Bayern Munich and Real Madrid before success manage to final and become the winner, I don't think Inter Milan has possibility lead to final stage if drawing match after knock out have to faced with Bayern or Real Madrid.
For this season waiting first which one team will success qualify from group stage, too early about who have favorite become the winner in this season depend after knock out round have to face with bigger or small team and make easily lead to final stage.

I hope Madrid get an easily drawing matches team after knock out round and have bigger chance for winning Champion League tittle.

What an interesting thing is to see that Real Madrid and Arsenal have been given the same odds for the Champions League title by bookmakers. I mean that Real Madrid should have been more favourite than them on paper. Because first of all Real Madrid are the dominator around here with most titles. Besides they are in great shape currently also.
Real madrid's opponent is far tougher compared with arsenal's opponent. The bookmakers were giving sense odds for arsenal but not for madrid. Even though real madrid was always dominating any title since a long time ago but playing away against napoli would not be a good story. The chance for real madrid to lose three points is very high in this case. I meant napoli is also havnig capability to beat real madrid. Lens is still struggling and it was giving arsenal advantage.


On the other hand Arsenal are also in wonderful condition. The only issue about going for the title is their being a quite young team. The lack of experienced players might be an obstacle for Arsenal to deal with against the other big title contenders. I would really like to see Arsenal and Real Madrid facing each other to see what would happen.  Smiley
That's true, and this is why picking arsenal is better compared with lens but arsenal shall also anticipate it. We don't really know what's gonna happen with lens. I meant lens was struggling but it can go up.
Arsenal needs to be aware if lens is still considerable as a worthy opponent.

I would prefer to take both team to score instead of arsenal win the game. Arsenal will be playing away and this is the disadvantage for the club.
Im not sure if arsenal can win easily against lens even though lens is not yet showing great improvements.

Since Real Madrid and Napoli are two of the best teams in the world, it will be very difficult to predict this game because Real Madrid has strong players who are talented when it comes to scoring. To be honest, this match will be tough because these two teams are the biggest and strongest. Real Madrid has strong players who are talented when it comes to scoring goals. Many Real Madrid players can score goals even from a distance with a good shot to the post. Napoli also has a strong striker player which is osimhen, who typically makes the team proud by scoring goals like a machine and scored goals in their most recent game.
What makes it difficult to predict the result is both Real Madrid and Napoli performed rather unstable lately. Specifically for Napoli, they experienced some bad results in Serie A. That makes people to think they will experience a difficult situation in UCL matches, too. Moreover, Napoli will play against Real Madrid which is very experienced in UCL. But Real Madrid isn't in a good condition as well. They have no sharp machine goal now (no strong striker). While Napoli has Osimhen that can make a difference in the match.

In terms of football strategy, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is better than Napoli coach, and both teams will want to win the game in order to advance to the next round. However, I am not able to predict the outcome of this match between these two strong teams because a game can change at any time, so my advice to anyone looking to place a bet on the game is to bet on either anyone can win or the match ending in a draw if not the person will lose the bet.
Of course, if we consider the coaches of both teams, Real Madrid coach must be better. Ancelotti has experienced to win UCL 4 times. Meanwhile Rudi Garcia (Napoli coach) never won a single trophy in UCL. Rudi Garcia has a lack experience in international tournament. This makes us to feel doubt if Napoli has a good chance to win against Real Madrid.

It's too early to say that, even if what you say is true, it doesn't mean it's enough to counter the tactics of other clubs in the UCL. Munich has a good strategy to face teams in the Bundesliga, but we have to think, their strategy will be able to beat big teams from the EPL, La Liga, Serie A and others or not? With current squad and performance, Manchester City could probably beat Munich in the knockout round if they met. But, if Man. City is experiencing a decline in performance, it may be difficult for them to beat Munich. Madrid also has a chance to beat Munich. Serie-A team, Inter can give a surprise.

Napoli faced Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2017. And Napoli were defeated in both matches. However, this season, Napoli have a chance to win. They have a strong squad. Napoli are in good form right now in Serie A as well. And so it cannot be said that Real Madrid will win this match. The match will be a close fight, with both teams having equal chances to win.

The main weakness of Real Madrid is that they do not have an experienced striker in their squad. The team is now reliant on their midfield. The midfield has talented players like Modrich, Kross and Bellingham. If Napoli are able to contain Real Madrid's midfield then they have a chance to win. But stopping Madrid's midfield will be a much tougher task for Napoli.

It will be hard to predict the team to win this time around if  Manchester United and Galatasaray play against each other tomorrow, but if I had to base my prediction on how each side has performed this season, Galatasaray would defeat Manchester United.

Probably many people would disagree with you to even compare Galatasaray performance with Manchester United but unfortunately yeah, With the latest results and matches they performed very badly there’s a bigger chance for Galatasaray that are second place in super lig.  Erik ten Hag couldn’t find any good working plan for his team and did the worst start to a league season since years in United’s history.

The good thing about this match is its odds and very good lucky chance for Galatasaray fans.
 1.44 MNU 4.50D 7.00GAL.
So do you think it’s a good idea betting on Galatasaray as well for tomorrow’s match. I don’t know why most sportsbook are sure that Manchester United has a better chance winning while we don’t see that in results, statistics, and even standings.

Bayern Munich is gonna win this year, mark my words. They have a very solid core and with Harry Kane another world-class forward.


It's not just you who say that Bayern Munich will easily get rid of their opponents and dominate group A. Looking at the match against Manchester United where Manchester United easily scored 3 goals against Bayern Munich, even though they won points, at least Bayern Munich can anticipate that their back line is too weak, If there is no change in the back line then several clubs will take advantage of Bayern Munich's defensive line weaknesses.

It could be a disaster for Bayern Munich if there is no improvement in the defense line and will have an impact on the standings in the next match.

I think City will be back-to-back Champions for this year. No one can deny that Munich's current quality is one of the best. But City is currently extraordinary with a better squad than Munich. If they have Kane then don't forget that City have Haaland. Maybe currently Haaland is behind in assists with Kane but if they meet then I think Munich will be very difficult to win.
Hard to predict it. I meant let's take a look at how manchester city's performance has been declining a lot caused by there have been many players were injured. It was also affecting the performance from manchester city as well. Haaland was missing some people who were playing a very important role for him. You can see that how haaland can do nothing without a great attacking midfielder who will always give him valuable passing.
City has been favored by bookies to win UCL but this makes sense as long as manchester city will able to play with the full squads. City is in easy group stage.
I have no doubt if city will able to go to the play off soon. Don't forget real madrid as one of the strongest contender to win UCL this season. Madrid was also coming with new power.

It is true that Newcastle was able to recover ahead of this week's group stage match and thanks to the results they achieved in the previous week in the EPL or EFL they are better prepared to play the match against PSG later. I think Newcastle will be able to make things difficult for PSG this time and considering Newcastle are the hosts, they are the favorites to win.

Indeed, of all the matches, Napoli's match against Real Madrid is the most anticipated and as we have seen, the two met in the Champions League several seasons ago. Of course, this is nothing new for both of them and seeing the improvement in the quality of the players from both teams, it can be said that this match was quite balanced. However, Napoli, who are the hosts, will not necessarily be able to stop Real Madrid in a competition that has been their habitat for many seasons and in fact this is a title that Real Madrid has always wanted rather than the domestic league title. Apart from all that, whatever the results, I hope these two teams are able to qualify for the next round by becoming group winners and runners up.

Newcastle couldn't be anymore recovered for now since they have scored 11:0 goals in the last 3 Premier League games and won against Manchester City in the League Cup and, frankly, the draw against Milan without goals was a perfect ending for them. They did not get started with a loss and they got away with that point in a rather lucky manner. AC Milan pressured hard and then after a game I think a team can be satisfied if it's a point. Not losing away games in the Champions League against equally strong or even stronger opponents is so important. It gives them more options in the games after.

Napoli against Real Madrid is a cool game because Real Madrid is not nervous because of anyone ever with all the experience they have. Napoli is the underdog, but they can win so much. If they play a great game I think that would also push them for the Serie A games and they know there is something possible this year again. It would also be a huge step towards the next round already.
