Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga match only controls the ball too quickly in putting pressure on the opposite to the opponent is very important to make the opponent's mentality decrease but the problem not in the Bundesliga, so I will not be sure if Tuchel will do the same strategy at UCL.
against Lazio is not a tough task even though this match Bayern Munich will compete as a guest but see I guess there will be 2 scores that will be printed by Munich or even more.
maybe in the Bundesliga it looks bad lately but I still believe the victory will belong to Bayrn Munich

PSG play well at home in the league, but not in the Champions League, where they usually play poorly. PSG qualified to the round of 16 through luck, so I didn't give them much hope to win the match, but now that I see Real Sociedad's performance is deteriorating, PSG may have an opportunity to defeat them today. Have given Bayern Munich hope to win today's match because Lazio can't compete with Bayern Munich in the competition, I think he can be a bonus game for them tonight as how Manchester City got Copenhagen and defeated them, Bayern Munich match will not be as tough as psg and Real Sociedad because is the only game that will be interested to watch this night, Let's see who will gets three points, but I know PSG can win the game because they're playing at home but anything can happen, and sometimes you can't anticipate what will happen in a match.

I think it's much simpler than that. Real Sociedad in general this season is not very good, looking at their statistics for the last 5 matches I think that the maximum they can count on is a draw and I doubt it. PSG are not so bad to lose to them, I think the round of 1/8 for PSG a priori passed

Today, there is UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches first leg. In my opinion, the favorite teams are PSG and Bayern Munich. I feel like we will watch very enjoyable matches.

PSG's starting XI against Real Sociedad: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo Pereira, Beraldo, Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Dembele, Barcola, Mbappe. Real Sociedad's starting XI against PSG : Remiro, Traore, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Galan, Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino, Kubo, Barrenetxea, Andre Silva.

Bayern Munich's starting XI against Lazio: Neuer, Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim Min Jae, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Goretzka, Sane, Müller, Musiala, Kane. Lazio's starting XI against Bayern Munich : Provedel, Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Guendouzi, Vecino, Luis Alberto, Isaksen, Felipe Anderson, Immobile.

Because this is an opportunity for a greater chance of winning at home, PSG must be able to lock in their victory tonight, otherwise the Real Sociedad home game will be even harder.
That's what I see now that the probability with different opportunities is far different, so most likely we predict PSG can win even though it is a narrow win in terms of goals.

At least Luis Enrique has had experience when coaching Barcelona first and he is now at PSG, so he knows how to anticipate playing with a team from LaLiga so far PSG is more favored.
Odds are also much different Real Sociedad is at 5.00 this is a risk for bettors choosing a team from LaLiga.

Good performance and a Great start! A late goal from Phil Foden finalizes the win. Scoring has become his habit. The Citizen deservedly got that third goal.
But Sad for Bernardo, I hope don’t have serious injuries. Copenhagen should have received a red card for that foul on Bernardo.
And congratulations on The Citizen for nine consecutive wins in the Champions League. This is the longest streak by any English team in the competition’s history.

We have seen PSG fail against Spanish teams in the past. Despite having a strong squad, they could not win against the Spanish team. However, this season's opponents, Real Sociedad, are a little less experienced and a little weaker than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This team plays a defensive strategy and usually tries to draw the matches this season. Sociedad does not have a strong attack. On the other hand, PSG's attack is quite strong this season with the help of Dembele, Mbappe and Ramos. And they have a fantastic coach like Luis Enrique. Enrique is an experienced coach on the Champions League platform. So it is expected that PSG will win today's match if they don't make any big mistakes.

Honestly I give credit to Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabara who made some brilliant saves to keep the scoreline at 3-, infact after Man City scored in the 10th minutes I was expecting a thrashing of Copenhagen however their Goalkeeper performance was very outstanding by keeping the scoreline low though I wasn't expecting Copenhagen to win because their league is on break that have a big influence on team because of lack of action in their leg,  meanwhile the match between Bayern Munich vs Lazio would be a close one because Bayern Munich too is struggling in Bundesliga thus Lazio would capitalize o that to prove their presence.

Do you think there would be any surprise result today? Honestly I hope to see PSG and Bayern Munich both winning just as Real Madrid and Manchester City did yesterday. But the odds just look really interesting on the other hand.    PSG and Bayern Munich both have way higher odds than my expectations. I checked out the missing players to see if there are crucial players missing.

But as far as I can see there isn't such situation. PSG have been very good in home matches so far. Maybe Bayern Munich have looked unstable about performance in the Champions League but they are still way better than Lazio.

You are right that Real Sociedad has forgotten how to win. This team has won very few matches. They are unbeaten in the Champions League but have drawn three matches. I have rarely seen Real Sociedad win against tough opposition. Sociedad will probably try to draw the match in today's match as well. But Luis Enrique will try his best to win this match. Luis Enrique will want to dominate and win the home match. I'm looking forward to Mbappe's performance today. PSG's defense is now strong enough. PSG will probably win today if Mbappe performs well.

Copenhagen's journey in the Champions League this season will come to an end in this round; they've done an excellent job to get this far, but with their style and quality of football, they're no match for Manchester City and will be unable to advance to the next round. I hope they can progress beyond this, given how well they performed in the group stage, finishing ahead of top teams such as Manchester United and Galatasaray. I thought they could hold Manchester City to a draw at home, but after their home loss, I don't think they'll have a chance to beat or even draw Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. They should work on themselves and come back stronger by next season, maybe by then, they can go farther than this.

Easy guess, PSG will win the home game and they will lock in a win that doesn't give them much risk in the second leg. Real Sociedad are dangerous, but not the kind of team that will stop PSG's Champions League plans this season. The probabilities show very different odds, so it is too risky to bet Real Sociedad to win this match.

However, PSG has an unpleasant record against Spanish teams, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona. Luis Enrique must find a solution so that the team he coaches can improve its bad record in the past, so winning is a plan that they must try to make a reality.

I'm curious to see how PSG will do against Real Sociedad. PSG have always failed against the Spaniards, but this time they won't be up against Real, Atletico or Barca. Real Sociedad have forgotten how to win recently. They have won only once in the last 8 games in La Liga. PSG, on the other hand, have only lost once in their league all season. The points difference has widened, they will declare the championship early. That's why they will give extra importance to the Champions League match. Real Sociedad have been struggling to score goals lately. PSG are naturally the favorites in the match. But I think Real Sociedad will focus on this match for their breakthrough. We can expect goals against each other in the match.

Yeah, if we refer to Sociedad's match in the group phase, the squad coached by Imanol Alguacil advanced with quite good results with 12 points they achieved. 3 matches with a win, 3 matches with a draw. however, in the last 4 matches in two different competitions, Sociedad did not produce perfect points. three matches with a draw, the last match with a defeat.

On the other hand, PSG has been far from impressive in its domestic league. so far, Paris Saint-Germain has almost always achieved positive results. unfortunately, in the Champions League PSG's performance was not that impressive. especially, when playing away matches. in the group F phase, PSG was only able to rank 2nd. in the match which will be held in a short time, it seems that Luis Enrique's squad is quite ready to host the match against Real Sociedad. it seems that Enrique already has a standard that he can rely on when fighting to host Real Sociedad, so it is very likely that Paris Saint-Germain will use a 4-3-3 pattern. Dembele, Mbappe, Assensio, look like they will be included in the starting eleven in this match. the rest, PSG is filled with its core players in each line. as for their two young strikers, Goncalo and Kolo Miani, it looks like they will start from the reserve bench.

In the Real Sociedad camp, it looks like Imano Alguacil will use a 4-3-3 pattern. what is certain is that Real Sociedad will not just give up even though the match is played at the Parc des Princes. referring to the betting market, bookies give odds to Real Sociedad with odds @5.40, while Paris Saint-Germain with odds @1.66. my estimate for this match is that PSG will win, but the ideal betting option is the Over 2.5 goals @1.94 option. well, let's wait

he tells us that in the Premier League Man City have their problems to resolve, so let`s say they can focus on that for a moment but then they have to keep their head focused on the Champions League otherwise they will end up in a mess

There are not many teams that can stand against Manchester City in this tournament. Low-budget teams like Copenhagen have no chance. Players like De Bruyne, Haaland, Foden are at the highest level, even a single one of them is more valuable than Copenhagen's entire team. We can already say good luck to Manchester City in the quarter finals. After this score, Copenhagen's morale was ruined. Who knows how many goals they will concede in the second match.

Bruyne is really difficult to stop because after all, Bruyne really play better after recovering from injury because ya, the fact is that Bruyne is always involved and or a part of every goal that Manchester City has so far after Bruyne returned to play. Therefore, as long as Bruyne remains safe and does not suffer injuries for the rest of the season, then ofcourse Manchester City has a great chance to win the trophy. But even so, at least Copenhagen can also still play with good morale because after all, because Copenhagen managed to have one goal in this match and that is still good for Copenhagen. Because ya, of course, there is no chance for Copenhagen to be able to beat Manchester City so ya, but with that factor then if Copenhagen can still minimize the defeat by making a goal then it is still a good result for them.

The 5-point gap with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga is not that big, so I don't think Bayern Munich has much influence. Losing to Leverkusen is normal when they are having their best season, but Tuchel still seems to have hope of reclaiming the top spot as long as he can capitalize on Leverkusen's mistakes before the season ends.

Tuchel's focus doesn't have to be on the Champions League alone, he still has a lot of hope of narrowing the points gap in the domestic league from Leverkusen. I'm sure Leverkusen are very likely to drop points, but they are certainly in their best period so far. While there is hope, the struggle is not over yet. Today, Bayern Munich must put one foot into the quarter-finals, meaning they must win regardless of the unsatisfactory results in the previous match in the Bundesliga.

I know Copenhagen and Manchester City are not comparable but we know the draw by EUFA that they met means overall this match is fair it's just that this English team is much better.

There will be a time when Manchester City meet an equal team maybe in the last 8 or in the semifinals we'll see, but for me the last 16 has been fierce enough and here we can predict more correctly which teams will qualify.

For example in the PSG vs Sociedad match I think PSG will qualify.
Lazio vs Bayern Muncih then the team from Germany will qualify.

This is a bit easier to predict.

Games in the group and in the playoffs are very different so Sociedad's results in the group are unlikely to matter much today. Taking into account the fact that PSG took only second place in their group, the first game will be held in Paris, so today PSG will only play to win and I think that even a victory with a minimum score will not suit them. I think that today we will see something like 2-0 or 3-1 and the bookmakers are thinking about the same:

1.61 - 3.72 - 5.59

Regarding the game Lazio - Bayern, I simply have no ideas. I don't trust Bayern and although they are favorites I will skip this game altogether in terms of betting.
