In the next match for Bayer Leverkusen which they will be a guest at Brest's headquarters is something that will not be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen if the Leverkusen players still have a good enough tactic to win at their opponent's home and beat Brest as the host. I wouldn't think it would be easy, but I have no doubts about the quality of Bayer Leverkusen's players in the next match in the Champions League, because Brest's strength is certainly not quite on par with Leverkusen at the moment even though Brest will also play all out to be able to win at home.

In UCL, Liverpool has just faced 2 matches and in the domestic league, Liverpool has only appeared 7 times and this is the reason why Arne Slot still looks very impressive giving very strong consistency to his squad. But just wait and see when Liverpool starts to play against other big teams like Madrid, I'm not sure Liverpool will perform optimally. I admit that Liverpool is currently better than last season, but this kind of performance has happened before. So I still have a little doubt that Liverpool, which I predict will not appear too far in the UCL at this time with the new system, will certainly make it difficult for the players.

After seeing Liverpool dominate most of the matches that have been played, the fans' confidence in Slot has increased, now they are starting to put high hopes on him to bring Liverpool back to winning the EPL and competing with other favorite teams in the UCL title hunt. Liverpool are still unbeaten in the UCL after picking up two wins over Milan and Bologna, they are looking at their third straight win at Leipzig, although Leipzig are not an easy team to beat at the moment, but based on their consistency in maintaining their best performance in the last few matches, Liverpool chances of winning are very big.

But Madrid still play quite well in the League and also the Champions League just because he experienced 1 defeat in the Champions League many people conclude Madrid played badly in one of the prestigious matches in my opinion if you can take an example you can see Dortmund who performed well in the UCL but badly in the Bundesliga and he is currently in 8th position as a Real Madrid fan I still believe he will still perform well in the 2 tournaments this season.

Yes I admit Liverpool did play quite well this season in the EPL and UCL but still the struggle is still very long for Slot and if he wants to be seen like Kloop he must give his best for his team so far he has done his job well with its coaching system.

The UEFA Champions League is no average tournament but mainly for elite clubs. We're talking about clubs that can stand boldly and face oppositions without having to shiver or frighten. Arne Slot have improve all-round standard performance for the club, he do deserves some accolades and have been an impressive manager for the club and the fans. He's loved by all based on the incredible stats he puts out there, his future is secured at Anfield. Liverpool will do what they have to do for the purpose to move next phase of the UEFA Champions League.

Moreover there's actually no room to underestimate any oppositions because these clubs have been majorly top and will always remain tough to handled, you know the direction I'm going. Teams like RB Leipzig didn't qualified for the UEFA Champions League by mistake or luck, they worked hard and earned their points, so they're consider elite club and their opponents should apply extreme carefulness to stay fit and strong enough to face them.

Yes as you mentioned, target to the final is not easy, many aspects will be faced Liverpool because all team on champions league have the same target. Liverpool have to focus and keep consistent if want dream come true. Beside that Leipzig is not weak team, even they have never won on champions league, but Liverpool must not underestimate them because when they make a small mistake on the field that advantage will take Leipzig to beat them on their home. So I think liverpool will have a hard work to winning this match because most likely Leipzig will make tight their defense, and a draw is mostly possible if liverpool lack of attack.

I agree with you, and to achieve that, it is very difficult, there are teams that are very good that find it difficult to achieve that, because most of them or they do well in their leagues and badly in the UCL, or they do badly in the leagues but very well in the UCL, Madrid has been a clear example of such a thing, however we as fans know very well that Liverpool comes from very good team organization with KLOPP, so the new coach only works on that scheme and from there on he has been able to do things well, it is difficult to change everything from one moment to another, it is not that easy, in this case they are doing things very well and I like it.

The opponent that Liverpool will face in the next match is an opponent that will not be easy for Liverpool so the Liverpool team will definitely play their main players including Mohamed Salah because as you said that Mohamed Salah is a player who is still very productive in terms of scoring goals and also in terms of providing passes to his teammates when there is space for it. So I also don't think that he will be absent in the next match in the Champions League because he is still very much needed in the current Liverpool squad.

They are a debutant club in the Champions League and it is very difficult for them to compete in a big competition like this especially with the surprise last season which is actually difficult for them to repeat this season of course Bologna and Girona are just decorations just like Union Berlin and several surprise clubs last season who became decorations in the Champions League.

But in the end I think this is a good capital for them because after all being in the Champions League is a dream and still provides benefits for them in the additional financial bonuses they get especially for clubs that are still in a standard condition from a financial point of view it is already a positive thing and the most important thing is that they get good experience by being in a big competition like this so that the results are not a significant problem but the impact given to the mentality and situation of the club will change after being in the Champions League of course.

So are you saying Vini pulled all those performance  since the beginning of the season just by luck and not in his usual form . I don't know why you'll don't want to talk about what's going on with the team, from mbappe needs to adapt to not in form... I mean mbappe was not around for some games and they couldn't still get something done. They are all still playing good just as they used to apart from mbappe i noticed a slight change but he still fits to some extent,imo the team is not in some kinda good relationship with each other especially the forward and the wingers, mbappe presence should have brought more opportunities but instead it worsen which mean something isn't right with that region and I've seen some obvious scene which portraits it. I'm not being too judgy but Ancelotti needs to find a way to rotate the players from playing at the same time if possible unless they're willing to co-operate with each other... they should archieve more with their squad.

These are some of the favorites that are worth betting on but in multi-betting it is risky as we don't know which team will surprise.

Although I won't be betting now as there are still leagues to start first so here are my options for Champions League betting.
Odds are still looking for the best option of course this is not the final.
But has anyone bet on all the 1X2 matches?

There is no team that has no problem. Sure, Real Madrid also has a problem, they still can't optimize their performance since Mbappe joined the team. In theory, Real Madrid will be stronger when they have a strong attacker like Mbappe. But in fact, Mbappe can't contribute much to help Real Madrid. He even makes Ancelotti to change some matters (tactics, formation, and lineup). Real Madrid also becomes inconsistent in some matches, they got 3 draws in La Liga and got 1 lose in UCL. This is not a good sign for Real Madrid performance this season. Even if Real Madrid is still the king of UCL, it looks like to be a hard season for Real Madrid. If there is no change in Real Madrid performance, I also favor other teams to win UCL trophy. Juventus, Dortmund, Liverpool, Leverkusen, Man City, and Inter Milan look to have a more promising chance to join the race for UCL trophy.

Mohamed Salah is still one of Liverpool's top performers, a prolific scorer with experience in the attacking department and intelligence and technique. 
He is still quite fit for his age, so he shouldn't be out as he is still fit to play football. Being the main attacking player in Liverpool team and he is a very hardworking player, the coach of the team is still quite satisfied with him.

Even if you have a strong team like Real Madrid still, you will have some problems with this team. We know Real Madrid is a good rea mad they got palyers like Mbappe and Vini jr there and this can help Real Madrid to easily get good results in the great tournaments like the Champions League but the fact about Real Madrid is Vini is not in the good form and Mbappe is still far from his good performance we saw from him before in PSG.
This can be a reason to say there is even the chance for Real Madrid to lose the title of the Champions League to another team like Inter Milan in this season.

Not just to the quarter-finals - I expect Liverpool to make it through to the final this season.
I hope Arne Slot can make this wish come true in his first season at Liverpool - but I admit it's a difficult target for him. But first - I want Liverpool to maintain this good performance by continuing to win game after game in this round. Leipzig are not particularly strong - but they can also capitalize on mistakes if Liverpool underestimate this team.

The 6 teams that Liverpool will face in the next 6 matches are: Leipzig, Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Girona, Lille and PSV. So far I only think Real Madrid is stronger than Liverpool - I can still hope Liverpool can beat the others.

Salah's replacement or substitution isn't going to be nay soon so i personally wouldn't want to see that as a challenge to really express fears around at this time as it may feel too early to be expressing such concerns already, his performance is still very much okay such that he isn't reflecting any form of age interfering in his abilities at the moment, and i believe they are not  going to be able to start scouting the replacement already. Klop built a foundation that will last a whole long time such that managers that comes after him can consolidate long enough on such.

The performance of Bayer Leverkusen csn not be compared to that of their opponent when compared to the current form of the teams, you already pointed out the difference between the teams and how new they are in the champions league games which I think is one or the advantage of Bayer Leverkusen playing against them not juat that but the performance of the teams in their domestic league shows that they have little or no chance against Leverkusen. I think Leverkusen doesn't need a miracle this time they just need to stay focus be concentrate on getting better because they have a better chance of going far in the champions league this season.

Liverpool seriously have lots on their hands to worry about because if we look at the players currently running out of contract I think they need to start considering strongly some replacements, players like Arnold, Van Dijk and Sallah who are all leaders are looking more like to leave with the Saga surrounding their future right now.

For Sallah the Saudi pro proposal is definitely looking juicy for him and considering his age he might want to actually look towards there, for most players it is usually the lifestyle there that hinders their move but that wouldn’t be a big problem for Sallah as his faith definitely fits him there. The likes of Van Dijk is he would be using his age to make his own decisions too and considering that he himself has won virtually every trophy then it wouldn’t surprise to see him too leave.

Arnold on the hand is the one I don’t likely see moving because he is a Liverpool kid Abi a potential captain if this two above leave, but considering that it is Madrid coming for his signature I wouldn’t be surprised to also see him jump the ship also. As for Luiz Diaz I don’t see him getting sold, he was on the market this summer due to Liverpool looking to raise money and him having a bad start to his career their but his season so far might be the reason he is looked upon to the future more

Sooner or later they have to look for alternatives to replace Salah but until now it cannot be denied that Salah still plays a very big role for Liverpool so I think there is no harm in trying to open talks for a shorter-term contract because his strength is still needed.

Unless indeed Livrepool wants to make another gamble just like when they recruited Slot as coach this season then indeed releasing him at the end of the season can still be done even though there will definitely be a lot of pros and cons about this.
Salah's age is 32 years old but his performance at Liverpool is still very vital especially for the problem of scoring goals so in this case there will be a lot of considerations like for Liverpool because after all everything that is done has a risk but I personally feel that they will still try to secure the services of this player at least for the next 1 or 2 seasons.

If Liverpool still hopes Salah to stay and offer a good contract extension, I think Salah will continue to stay in Liverpool. Even if Saudi teams try to sign salah and offer him with huge salary, I think Salah still wants to focus on playing in the top league in the world (EPL). It will be good for his career if he stays to play in the most competitive league.

I still don't see a rumor that Diaz will leave Liverpool? He still has a long contract, it is until June 30, 2027. I think Diaz will stay in Liverpool as long as he can play regularly. Diaz becomes an important player for Liverpool, he often contributed well. I think there is no reason that Liverpool will put him on the transfer list, too. Arne Slot has done great jobs so far, he also cares with the players. I never heard bad rumors about the relationship of the players with Arne Slots.
