Manchester city is more likely to win the match because Young Boys are a more weaker team to match up to Manchester city in the match and at that they are going to accumulate multiple goals in this match and if I must predict then I will say the match will end with a 3 goals to none.

Reason is that Manchester City's previous performances have shown a lot of technicality that will aid them to win at all time against what we have with young boys whose previous performances have not really shown anything significant at all to some point.

The remaining matches for Newcastle are against PSG away and hosting Milan at St. James Park. Obviously this is quite difficult because if they expect to qualify for the group phase then defeat is the most forbidden thing for them in these 2 matches because after all if they lose once then this could dash their hopes of being able to qualify for the Knock out phase.
The first match against PSG they won quite heavily but for the second match later this will clearly be difficult to predict especially PSG at home clearly does not want to expect another defeat from Newcastle.
In addition, for this group F, one match and another will be continuous in position because in the end all are interdependent between each other and hope they win and other clubs that are closest cannot get good results.

This match is like a life and death match for Milan to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the group phase, so it is not surprising that Milan played very effectively even though they did not control the game, but did not make the slightest mistake.

Apart from that, Mbappe's tight guard meant that Mbappe could not freely open up space. On the other hand, PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma also performed very well in this match, he managed to make important saves in this match which made no sense. Maybe if he wasn't the goalkeeper many goals would have been scored, such as Tomori's free kick, Theo's free kick and Okafor's chance.

The quality of team was so different between manchester city and young boyz. City won 3-0 against young boyz which has proven that if city is farr better than young bouyz in anything. The treble winners shall not be compared with the low tier club like young boyz.
Young boyz was lucky enough to have city as its competitors. Im not surprising to see how barcelona lose one nil against shakhtar donetsk. It seems like that shakhtar really learn from its previous mistake against barcelona.
Milan is still able to staying even longer. The club can qualify as long as acmilan will be getting perfect result.  till the last matchday, The competition in this group was also very strict.
Celtic lose 6-0 against atletico madrid as i predicted that if simone will not try to do another stupid decision making. Atletico was winning with very big score against celtic.

I didn't underestimate Young Boys in fact but I was sure about Manchester City performance in that game otherwise I wouldn't say at least 3 points will be scored by the two teams and there will be 2 goals difference. It turns out that Young Boys was overestimated by me since they failed to score a goal
In the other hand, I didn't expect to see Barcelona failing against Shakhtar Donetsk, that team has many reasons to fail and they won. That's unacceptable by Barcelona whether to their fans or poor bettors.
Newcastle goalless defeat was quite harsh. Atletico Madrid did well knocking Celtic by 6 goals to 0 and Milan inflicted another damage to the crippled PSG..

It was a  very tough match indeed but however Lazio won the match with luck because Feyenoord performance this season has been very good because they have actually won a lot of matches than Lazio because from statistics Feyenoord has a great opportunity to win the match but could not convert there scoring opportunities.

So Lazio manages to score on the last minute of first half and defend the goal till the end of the match, perhaps they really have a tactical defenders that was able to defend the goal, they have really tried on there performance because i never imagine the game will end this way by Lazio wining Feyenoord.

As I wrote, it's much easier to play with Julian "The Brain" of the operation I would like "money club" to be eliminated from the group, although unfortunately I think that Milan and Newcastle will close the table.

Group F is living up to the expectations, and despite there are only two games remaining the group is still wide open, Milan really needed this win otherwise PSG and Borussia Dortmund would have had a massive advantage over Milan and Newcastle United, so the next match between Borussia Dortmund and Milan will be critical for both squads, as even if Borussia Dortmund is the leader of the group they cannot afford to lose and they need at least the tie, and this is not an easy feat as they will play that game at Milan.

You predicted PSG to win but Millan took the lead when Giroud scored the last goal. It looks like a must win for Millan if they want to qualify in this group stage. I think it is a bold step they have taken, dureing their next match they will surely fight for a win as well so that they can qualify. What a game well played by both teams, but favour came ini for Millan and PSG was unlucky for the night.

Despite I believe in football anything can happen meaning that any team can win , I still have up 70% assurance that the team that will defeat Manchester city in this going champion league will be team that will have more experience in champion league, despite even De-bruyne is not currently presently in the squad. If possible it is club like Real Madrid I am also expecting or bayern Munich but others I don't think can win Manchester city.


PSG was the favorite team I predicted to win the game before the match started but doing the match the way ac Milan was performing i later change mind that if ac Milan was not able to win I think they should be able to draw especially the way their attack was going. Seriously I was really very impressed by ac Milan performances and this how I want the group stage to look challenging.

AC Milan still remains at the third position on the table even with their win against PSG wasn't enough to get them above PSG,  below Dortmund with one point is PSG having lost two matches and won two aswell and AC Milan happens to get their first win in the UCL against PSG.

Dortmund must win their next UCL fixture against AC Milan if they must finish top of the group to qualify for the next round of the UCL, obviously they are going to qualify but it's not certain if is at the first position or second. If AC Milan happen to draw against Dortmund in their next fixture, they could possibly have a chance to qualify at the second position on the table. Then PSG must win Newcastle to solidify their chance to qualify for the next stage of the UCL, All the teams in group F seem to in one way or the other have a chance to qualify because they all have just slight point difference amongst themselves so a win or draw could be that big difference they.ay need.

Man City falls into a relatively easy group in the Champions League. The difference in Man City's squad and level is too apparent. There is nothing unusual in this group when Man City shows outstanding strength.
Man City won against Young Boys (3-0), and this season they won all. In the match against Young Boys, Haaland scored twice, and Man City officially qualified for the Champions League group stage. They have officially entered the 1/8 round soon and can now relax and focus on the Premier League.

This group is full of attention all still have a chance to decide in the last two matches.

My thoughts are with Newcastle will they survive and qualify for the last 16?
Their remaining matches are still tough. Now to face PSG away from home as they have previously toppled PSG with an unexpected score, if Newcastle can hold on for a draw their chances are certainly great.
The last one in this group F phase against Milan at home then that should be decisive for Newcastle, at least playing at home they will be more dominant again the same against PSG.

Newcastle United suffered in the Premier League in the previous weeks as a result of that they might be very weak to beat an experienced team like Dortmund and they have some injured players that were absent in the match.

They beat PSG in the first leg, I will expect PSG to beat them because if they defeat psg again in the returning leg, it will be a shameful thing for PSG even though I know that it will be difficult for Newcastle United to beat them.


Barcelona match was surprising, they could have won to be free from any qualifying to knockout stage doubt, but Shakhtar put effort to win at home as well to see if they can do more to qualify to the knockout stage as well, but it seems like they can only qualify to Europa League, but if they can beat Porto they can qualify.

Haha I really liked this group from the beginning.



The competition becomes very interesting now after PSG lost to Milan and Newcastle had to lose 2 times to Dortmund in this group stage.
This is a group of hell that cannot be predicted about what will happen in the future. With 2 remaining matches to be played all clubs can still compete for 1st and 2nd place in order to qualify for the next phase and I still find it difficult to predict 2 names now because the position in the standings always changes in every match that occurs.

It was another night for Giroud as he got an assist and a goal which is good because he was expected to shine for AC Milan and he did when he was needed. The three points for AC Milan was very needed because they did not start the champions league with a good result, but this results puts them third behind PSG in a very difficult group. I pity Newcastle in this group because they started very well but right now still find themselves at the bottom of this group, it has been a run of difficult games for them, so I quite understand their position. They however need to do better in their next game if they still plan to qualify because they still have a good chance.

Manchester City destroyed as expect Young Boys. They were struggling when they played the away but home it was an easy and clear win. They passed the group easily and now can even go with reserves to save their players in the next games. Leipzig also won against Crvena Zvezda and passed the group easily.

In performances like what Barcelona had today, you'd know the coach got it wrong. They couldn't create chances. They had no shot on target in the first half. They had only two attempts the whole half. That's disappointing. They looked better in the final 20 minutes of the match but that wasn't enough.

I don't think Barcelona is safe. They need to win at least one of their remaining two matches to top the group. It would be bad if they do t top their group. Topping their group gives them an opportunity to play a relatively lesser team in the r16.

They play Porto next at home. That is a much win match because both teams are fighting for the top spot. It was supposed to be a pretty easy group for Barcelona but things might turn around.

I was unable to watch the match but I thought Barcelona should have done better because of the lineup i saw and some injured players that recovered. Seeing Lewandowski, pedri, Raphinha, Yamal and Felix available for selection I presume they should win Shaktar easily with goals margin but sometimes football doesn’t happen how we see it. I still feel they didn’t play well enough else they should’ve penetrated Shaktar’s defense.

If barca doesn’t qualify to the knockout stage i will be disappointed in them because of the group they find themselves, losing to shaktar is bad but can they win similar small teams like this? They need to improve their game because they near the most competitive stages where only the strongest survives.

As I often say, Eddie Howe's tactical style has not changed and is not much different from AC Milan. If from the start of the match Dortmund followed Newcastle's style of play, it is very likely that the end of this match could have been different. But the difference is, Terzic is a coach who is quite smart and has a lot of tactics and strategy. In the first half, Dortmund slightly dominated the match and in this match Fulllkrug also scored his first goal in the Champions League with an assist from Sabitzer. Based on my observations, Dortmund played more confidently. unfortunately, they squandered several opportunities.

In the second half, Newcastle increased the aggressiveness of their game, Newcastle was superior in ball possession with 61%.  However, they still had difficulty creating opportunities and didn't even have a single big chance. In fact, Dortmund increased their lead which was scored by Julian Brandf. As a result, Newcastle was ranked last.
Next, Necastle will play the fifth matchday match at the Parc des Princess, PSG's headquarters. It will be a tough battle for Eddie Howe's squad on the fifth matchday.

For other matches, it doesn't match my predictions. Strangely, every time I side with Barcelona, ​​I always lose. but for this match, according to my analysis from the start and previous posts. If Dotmund will win the match, whether away or at home against Newcastle. and yep, Newcastle lost in two meetings against Borussia Dortmund.
