In fact Ancelotti didn't face any serious challenges because they were in a much easier group and now only Napoli might give them a little trouble even though they lost at home against Real Madrid in the first leg. For Real Madrid, it is certain that they have secured their place as group winners and Napoli will be ranked runner-up because Braga has just collected three points and Union Berlin has not yet received a single point after suffering consecutive defeats. So it is almost certain that Napoli's chances of becoming runners-up will be even greater after being able to beat Union Berlin in this match.

A draw is not a bad result so it will not affect Real Madrid in their match in the Champions League, especially since they will face Braga at the Santiago Bernabeu so it will be an easy match for Real Madrid to beat. Napoli must be wary of Union Berlin when they visit their headquarters because if they are careless they will produce results beyond predictions.

Ac Milan will be facing the team they lost to in their last encounter in the group stage, talking about PSG. I can see the energy the home team will bring to this game and it might affect the performance of the visitors that's if Ac Milan will make use of the chanting of the home fans against the visitors. It won't be like they played out last time and I see Ac Milan causing much damage than PSG in tonight's battle.
The group stage is already fired up, if Ac Milan manage to get a win tonight they will occupy the 3rd position only if Dortmund lose to Newcastle, at least staying at 3rd would give the Italians hope in playing the next game, just wish them luck.

- You're absolutely right. Real Madrid has been dominating this group with 3 wins and 9 points, making it highly likely for them to continue advancing. Napoli is in a similar position. It does seem like an easy group for both Real and Napoli, and there may be few surprises for the other two teams.
- As for tomorrow night's Champions League matches, many seem to be relatively straightforward, with favorites expected to win. However, as you mentioned, parlaying all the favorites doesn't guarantee an easy win due to the unpredictability of sports. There's always room for surprises, even though the quality difference between the teams is significant.
In Group F, the matches between Dortmund and Newcastle and Milan and PSG do seem quite intriguing. It's challenging to predict the outcomes in this group. I, too, am looking forward to these matches, hoping for an exciting Milan win and possibly a draw between Dortmund and Newcastle.

In the dead group in the Champions League, the second leg is going to face PSG vs. AC Milan. AC Milan lost 3-0 at PSG in the first leg. AC Milan must win today's match to survive in the group stage. Milan have completed three matches in the group stage and they have not seen a win in a single one. Milan is in 4th place in the points table and Paris Saint-Germain is in 1st place. Can Milan win and can they take home advantage in today's match? Although PSG do not have much of an advantage in the enemy field, Milan are likely to win 2-1. Milan can score first. Mbappe has a chance to score a goal. This match is unlikely to be more than three. Anything is possible in football, it remains to be seen if Milan can come back against PSG in today's match.

I don't put so much hope for acmilan to win the game against PSG. PSG is stronger than milan at this moment. Enough is enough for me to watch acmilan keeps play like shit. This is the last chance owned by acmilan. Milan will be eliminated from the competition once they either draw or lose. Pioli was not able to find a good solution for his own club. I think that acmilan will stop here and it will be back again to the serie a. GGWP for milan after it was always losing against other club.

Acmilan was playing so badly in the previous games. I expect nothing from acmilan at this moment. Some of its key players like pulisic were injured. This is also making the situation to be even worst than before.

I don't trust milan anymore. This club is always having disappointed result. Milan played like a mediocre club instead of big club. The lose against udinese was a shame for milan. I think that pioli's squad will be doing another shit again for sure.

I think that Dortmund will want to erase the stain at home and, most importantly, Brandt will play, a brain who was missing previously, ye, he played with Bayern but hardly anyone showed class few days ago. However, for me 2-1 for the Yellows.

Group F is very challenging, I'm more surprised to watch Newcastle having fantastic time playing against Paris Saint-Germain. If AC Milan might consider becoming lucky in the second legs of UEFA league, that means they will bring back all hope alive and expects the very best performance fron the players. Stefano Pioli knows exactly what's he doing, the only challenges he's facing is the incapacity of his team to reschedule statistics because this presently, they're not in good shape. I can only bet on AC Milan to boldly score goals but winning is completely out of the picture for now.

Man City vs Young Boys: How can you stop the King?
Now, they need to deal with Young Boys to have soon tickets to play in the 1/8 round of the Champions League. In Group G, Man City currently has 9 points and 1st place. Man City only needs a draw against Young Boys to advance. The goal of Pep Guardiola and his team in the match against Young Boys will be to quickly overwhelm the opponent to get many goals. Young Boys is not a team that can prevent Man City from winning. I believe Man City will win big in this match.

Milan - PSG in San Siro will be interesting even though the results of Milan in Serie A aren't promising lately. Odds right now are in favour of PSG although they are playing away. Milan should win to pass to the third position or at least get the same number of points with Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle in case they got the draw.
That group is very hard and Milan have to deal with it if they want to go further or at least secure the third place and a chance to move to Europa League.

I agree with you, buddy. Real Madrid cannot expect Bellingham to always score the winning goal even if Bellingham can do it. Bellingham is not a striker and I admit that Real Madrid needs a top striker to finish this season well. They have been linked with Kylian Mbappe, but so far these rumors have been refuted because Real Madrid have never made an offer for the top striker.

Kylian Mbappe is worthy of a place at Real Madrid, but it seems Real Madrid are unwilling to spend too much money too quickly on Mbappe and are likely to expect him to come for free at the end of next season. Currently a center forward is a mandatory requirement for Real Madrid, Joselu cannot be expected.

Sure, UCL is the highest football competition, all the participants are the strong teams in the world. Real Madrid isn't only a strong team, they also have a good history in UCL. That indicates that Real Madrid deserves to call as the strongest team in the world. But not in each season Real Madrid has an ideal squad, this season Real Madrid squad isn't strong enough without a top striker. Although their current performance looks good, it doesn't guarantee to lead to the semifinal or even the final UCL again.

Since they have no strong striker, they rely on Bellingham performance. As long as Bellingham can score goals consistently, it won't be a problem. But it is true that sometimes Bellingham gets difficulty to score goals and it makes Real Madrid fails to win the match. I think Real Madrid needs a new top striker in January transfer season.

Yeah, they're in last place and there's probably no point in even talking about qualifying for the Europa League, because either Borussia or New Castle are likely to qualify. I think they just don't have the energy to make a few victories over strong teams, because obviously they have one of the most difficult groups

The Citizens are the reigning Champions of UEFA Champions League and they stand a chance of winning it again if they continue in competitive form. Pep Guardiola is always two steps ahead of his rivals, he already mapped out the negative and positive measures of the club. More reasons they don't encounter challenges and if they do, only a few and they constantly resolved their differences. Manchester City doesn't seem to be shaky with Erling Haaland. We are aware about the competitive form of Manchester City and they don't settle for lesser results, rather they keep brilliant stats against oppositions.

I'm not sure what's wrong with AC Milan; their performance in the Champions League is really awful, yet their performance in Serie A is very remarkable. We can't just give up confidence on AC Milan because we assume they can't stand PSG in their forthcoming match and PSG will easily grab 3 points away from them. I understand that the statistics are based on their recent Champions League performance, but we can't rule everything out and conclude that PSG will easily win. Let us not forget that AC Milan is still functioning well in Serie A and could surprise us in this match.


Haaland is no longer Manchester City's main man, and the team cannot rely on him. They have had numerous players injured in the past and still performed well on the pitch. Manchester City is not a one-man performance team and they can catch clubs off guard at any time. Guardiola's tactical style is significantly distinct from that of any other manager, therefore he cannot be underestimated even when the most of his star players are injured; there is always a plan B.

Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge in the weekend, but i don't think that will have an influence on Pep Guardiola's team selection come tomorrow, the aim must be to secure qualification from the CL group stage with two games left to play, that would give them the opportunity to concentrate on the Premier League, at least until next year when the RO16 would start.

City would definitely beat Young Boys, especially in the Etihad where they are absolutely unstoppable. I think City are slowly finding their best form and that would be scary for the rest of the teams in England as well as in Europe, when City start playing at their best, they are impossible to stop, and who knows if another treble is on the cards.

The young Boys team is weaker than Manchester City. However, there is no way to think that this team is too weak. Young Boys lost 3-1 at home against Manchester City. But I wouldn't say Young Boys' performance was too weak. Young Boys players were confident against Manchester City. If the players of Young Boys are confident in the next match, then maybe they will be able to build a resistance against City. I don't think Young Boys will win or draw this match. But my guess is that Young Boys won't be defeated by a big margin. Maybe Manchester City will win by 2-1 or 3-1.

If Dortmund performed badly against a bigger team, that means they are not strong enough. Several years ago, I can agree that Dortmund is a strong team. They could beat Bayern Munich and they could strong teams in UCL. I still remember Dortmund has a strong squad in the season 2011/2012. At that time, they were the German champion and German cup winner. Now, their squad is no longer strong enough. It is proven that they were defeated by Bayern Munich with 4 goals in Bundesliga match.

It is true that Newcastle is getting stronger. They could beat bigger teams, they even ever lead the group F in UCL. But their position dropped to the 3rd place after they were defeated by Dortmund. I think their performance isn't stable enough but there is a good progress on the performance.

Since Dortmund could beat Newcastle in their home in previous match, it is a bit difficult to predict which team to win the next match. I think both teams have the same chances, they actually almost have the same quality of players. It depends on how they could keep the good mentality during the match. Which team that play more confidently, probably has a bigger chance to win.

Last time they met, Manchester City scored 3 goals away against Young Boys, this time they can score 5-6 goals with a much easier game at home. We saw what they did to Bournemouth 2 days ago. They could apply a similar tariff to Young Boys. Of course, they are in a very comfortable position after making it 3 out of 3 in the Champions League. There is a serious difference in quality between the teams. I think you can bet on Manchester City over 3.5 goals in this match. I don't think Pep Guardiola will make a serious rotation.

Haaland or no Haaland, Manchester city already has a solid team, though Haaland's performance for sometime now have not been too impressive but however, Manchester city is strong enough to play with or without any player and all Manchester city players are of good quality and high level of performance.

Okay checkout since De Bryune has been ruled out in their matches so far ain't they performing well? They are of course, if Tottenham drops point this evening against their match with Chelsea then Manchester city will automatically utilize the advantage.

Yes, they have no good progress on their performance. Moreover, they have a serious problem with the injury problem. There are many AC Milan players got injured now. With many tough matches, they must face this problem. I think this is one of the reasons why they only could win a single match from 5 last matches. They could play with their full main players. Anyway, about the match against PSG, it is very obvious PSG will be superior. PSG has better attackers, they are also in a good form. In the last 5 matches, PSG always won the macthes.

If we analyze the current performance of both teams, it is clear that betting on PSG to win the match is the right choice.  
But DWYOR, it is a football match. There is always a chance for a surprise result.
