Yes, Salzburg should be an easy opponent for Real Madrid, but I think Real Madrid will win this match and they will be playing at home in Bernabeu, so they are definitely the favorites in this match.

Brest is surprising and their results in UCL are quite good, but in all the matches Brest is not so good and not so consistent, but will be a tough opponent for Real Madrid as you said. Brest will maintain their position and maybe focus more on UCL, and what we have to know is Real Madrid is not good at the beginning but Real Madrid will come back when it comes to crucial rounds and their mentality still has a big influence on the opposing team and also always makes great comebacks which makes Real Madrid always advance from one round to another even to the final and they will definitely win both.

Salzburg is an opponent that should be easy, but not Brest. Salzburg has clearly played badly in their last 6 matches in the Champions League, but Brest has impressed with their 4 wins. Brest is in 7th place and they are very motivated to maintain it so that their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are greater, but I am sure they will find it difficult to win that match against Real Madrid.

I can say 3 points from Salzburg is easy, but I have doubts about the possibility of 3 points when they play Brest. Real Madrid really needs this win to advance to the playoffs, but an extra 3 points might also help, although it depends on the results of the matches of several other teams. We'll see, but I'm sure Real Madrid will be in the last 16 this season in the best case scenario.

Real Madrid matches against RB Salzburg and Brest; you will have some bettors risking that, to bet against Real Madrid to lose any of the matches, which the odds for that will be much if Real Madrid is to lose any of their two upcoming Champions League matches.

The new match format is not favorable to big teams. Betting on big teams to win most of their match this season, doesn't go that way. It can turned out to be a surprise to u that Real Madrid lost or drew any of their Champions League matches, when everyone thought that they would have 6 points from both matches, taking them to the round of 16.

Honestly, Real Madrid had some issues at the start of the season, with some injuries as well as team chemistry issues and Mbappe adjusting period, they weren't that great. But looking at it now, I can say that they are doing mighty well and I do not think that it is going to matter that much ,we could make this work one way or another and they could win this game.

I actually believe they will win both games, and easily be in the playoff stage, they are not going to be in top eight that is guaranteed already, but they will end up in playoff stage and I am not so sure if there are any teams which could do that much better than Real Madrid when it comes to playoff stage as well, feels like it will be a little different. So, they will be fine.

That would be nice to bet on if you are quite sure of that outcome. Because the probability of happening may be indeed high as they have the motivation to achieve such position. But don't bet high stakes as you can't still guarantee the results. Be conservative with the amount of your bet even if you feel you will hit it right.

RB Salzburg and Brest would need a miracle to defeat Real Madrid and prevent Ancelotti squad from reaching the Round of 16. Of course there is a chance of a surprise, but the chances are very slim, as both matches should be straightforward for Real Madrid, given the gap in quality between the teams. The injury problems that have plagued Real Madrid this season have understandably caused much concern. However, the situation is now improving, with Real Madrid regaining the top spot in La Liga. Fans can place high hopes on Ancelotti, who has enough experience to ease any concerns and lead Real Madrid to the last 16.

Real Madrid at this moment knows that every point counts in their quest to progress to the next round of the competition? A home game against Salsburg I think will be an easy one for Carlo Ancelotti's men to get all three points. The quality of players at Real Madrid can't be matched by that of Salsburg, and now that Real Madrid knows they might fail to progress to the knockout stages of the competition, you should expect nothing but their very best in that game. My prediction is that Real Madrid will win that game as well as register 2+ goals.

Real Madrid must take this game seriously because the way they have performed so far, it may not be entirely certain that they will win against Salzburg. Moreover, the most important aspect for Real Madrid is that if they lose unexpectedly against Salzburg, they may not be able to go to the next round of the Champions League. Real Madrid is a very strong team in La Liga but Real Madrid is not a strong team in Champions League. They are 20th in the Champions League standings, Real Madrid are currently far behind in the Champions League. Also, you mentioned that Real Madrid will be playing at their home ground against Salzburg, maybe this will give their players more confidence.

Bruh,Real has lost against Milan and Liverpool, has beaten Dortmund and Atalanta, Salzburg has only won one match against Feyenoord with a ton of luck on their side with some goals that were 10% teamwork and 90% complete mistakes from the others, plus a red card at h end of the game.

If you think Salzburg will put up such a fight in this match why not take a handicap option, even at 3 Salzburg is 1.5 so easy money, right?


That match is the no-game of the round.

The opportunity is right in front of their eyes, so Real Madrid will try to take advantage of this opportunity to open the way to qualify for the round of 16. With their performance improving and the front line showing its sharpness again, I think it will not be difficult for Real Madrid to get full points when facing Salzburg. Meanwhile, in the last game against Brest, Real Madrid was also the favorite team. Although Brest performed well since the first match, Real Madrid strength is still much stronger than them, only luck can make Brest steal points from Real Madrid.

With the squads Real Midred coach is bringing out to play this game, I think victory is sure for them to secure in the home of their opponent because they will not going to take the game easy in this first game in 2025.  Despite the challenge Real Midred experience in some last games, they have displayed some performance in the la Liga league that made people to believed that they will reach round 16 in this UEFA champion league game.

If Real Midred can played 11 players with 10 players and still win the game to secure victory, show that Real Midred coach is really prepared to break record in this tournament for Real Midred to lift the UEFA trophy.

Right, the luck factor and the opposing team not being too strong can make one team advance to the next phase a little easier, so I agree with what you said. One example is last season, maybe we can say Dortmund who had an opponent that was not too strong, as we saw Dortmund was able to advance to a higher phase last season. We can take an example in the 2022/23 season, at that time Inter did not have a tough opponent except in the group phase. They advanced to the final, unfortunately they were defeated by Manchester City. If we refer to the 2024/25 Champions League season, there are three English representatives who have a great chance of qualifying from this group stage. Well, if these three teams do not meet strong opponents, it is likely that they can advance to a higher phase. It is also possible that one of them will enter the final round of this competition, and the most potential is Liverpool if we look at their performance so far. Unfortunately, there is no certainty that this English team can enter the final round of the Champions League. certainly, after the Champions League group stage is over, the next phase requires all teams to perform well, consistently, and win their matches. but it is not easy, any team that enters the next round will have the slightest chance to defeat their opponents. we'll see, because the fight is much more exciting after the last 16.

This will be a tense match for both clubs, because there is no better option for them than to win, both for Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City.
A defeat will make it even more difficult for them to be in the play-off round, as well as a draw which will definitely see the results of other clubs' matches. And it's a bit disappointing if they have to rely on other clubs' matches, because they are big clubs from their respective leagues, especially Manchester City is a club that has actually always been a favorite in the last few seasons in the Champions League.

On the field, I don't think there will be luck that determines whether a team wins or not. On the field, there is only ability that can be shown to the maximum.
team luck is the form of them getting the next opponent's draw. If I'm not mistaken the 8 teams at the top of the standings will not meet each other in the knockout round, or will they get another draw?
In the knockout round, I'm sure there will be a more interesting show and maybe give us a surprise from several teams.

The Play-off round actually always displays more high-level pressure like a final. because all teams really have to win the match if they want to qualify for the next stage. And there aren't many opportunities anymore in the Play-offs so a team can't even make that many unnecessary mistakes. And usually the tension there is always high.
But fortunately Aston Villa should have a big chance of avoiding the play-offs and will go straight to the next stage if they manage to beat Monaco and Celtic. And I think Monaco and Celtic's performance in the UCL this time is not that good. And Aston Villa should be able to overcome these two teams.

It's true that Real Madrid have to fight harder to advance to the next round and what you say is definitely true because we can't underestimate teams that are considered weak, especially the UCL team, of course it's not just any team because they can definitely get tickets. to UCL because of his good achievements. and of course, yes, it is true here that Ancelotti has to be careful because of course if Real Madrid does not qualify for the last 16 of course this will be a bad achievement for Real Madrid because remember that Real Madrid were champions last season.

Real Madrid's performance is indeed improving, but of course at the moment I see that their good performance is still not consistent, especially when I saw Real Madrid's match in Laliga against Valencia, where at that time Real Madrid almost lost. but yes, it is true, considering that there is still a lot of time for the next UCL match, Ancelotti will definitely train Real Madrid well and I am also sure that Real Madrid will be able to perform better so it looks like Real Madrid's matches against RB Salzburg and Brest will be won by Real Madrid. But unfortunately that match is still far away and I feel like I can't wait to see Real Madrid's match against RB Salzburg.

The game is of massive importance for both teams obviously. Manchester City doesn't want to lose under any circumstance and a draw would give them a decent position for the last game in the Champions League pre-stage. But for PSG it would be tough if they lose that game at home and then have to play another highly stressful game against Stuttgart. Both teams are right below the cut-off now and I think the chance is very high that the last game will be a final for both of them. The goal difference can become important, which gives PSG an edge over Stuttgart, but I think this can still change until the last game if PSG loses against Manchester City and Stuttgart uses the big chance they have now against one of the weakest teams in the Champions League, namely Slovan Bratislava. That's huge for Stuttgart as this opponent should be important 3 points and Bratislava is already out anyway. With those 3 points and perhaps a decent goal difference compared to PSG, I think the last game is going to be hell for PSG unless for some reason they beat Manchester City in the next one now.

I think nobody thought that after six games in the Champions League, PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid would be at risk. It's crazy but I think I like this new mode. It is fighting until the very end and for us fans it is good to have some big clashes early in the CL season and not only very far down the road.

Despite Manchester city having their difficult times this season I still see them as favorite over PSG. Yes the two need a win to qualify for the next stage of the competition but we know it's only one that will have to proceed and I feel Manchester city is more prepared to move to the next round compared to PSG.

I am also expecting a tensed match with more than two goals from both sides but it won't end in a draw obviously. This are my own prediction and I am going to place my bet as stated if I win then I will come back to reference this reply. We have seen. PSG struggle more than city this season and as such might not be too fit to take on CIty

In the next match against PSG, i am not saying it will be an easy match for Manchester City to beat PSG because Manchester City itself is facing some problems but still the chances of winning are always there, it will be a very tense match.

While PSG in their last 5 matches played quite badly because they only got 1 win, namely in their last match against RB Salzburg, which is a weaker team.

Salzburg could lose badly without any reply when they are guests at Real Madrid's home in the next match in the Champions League this season and even Salzburg will not be able to get a single point in that match. Because when Real Madrid players are serious enough to fix their mistakes in the upcoming matches, of course it will be very torturous for teams that are less strong like Salzburg, so I will assume that Madrid will be a little easier to win the match unless there are many new mistakes from the Madrid players themselves.
