Most times French clubs are seemingly difficult to face especially in this kind of situations, just like what Monaco did against Barcelona in their first game of the Champions League this season, but if Leverkusen can stay focused then they can also beat FC Brest too, perhaps they have faced a more stronger opponent like Milan so Brest shouldn't be much of a challenge considering the quality of players available in the Leverkusen side, I totally agree with you that they have all it take to go far this season in the Champions league and probably achieve something big.
French clubs are difficult to defeat, but they don’t usually make it at the end despite the effort they put in, to me they lack some Champions league experience which we have seen several times from the top team in the League 1 which is PSG. PSG has disappointed people several times in the Champions League, they do have all it will take to win the game, but they do always disappoint at the end which has made me to stop believing in them because even the time they have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and a lots of big players in their squad, they couldn’t win the Champions league which means they can’t win it anytime soon.

The game between Leverkusen and Brest will be a hard game to predict I must say, because both of the teams are not well experienced when it comes to Champions League and both of the teams are in good form because they both won their first two Champions League games.
My prediction will be a draw because Brest will be plying at home and Leverkusen is not too good away from home and if we consider their last match result, we can see how they played a draw against a bottom team after leading from 2-0.

Real Madrid had formed a strong team but injuries messed up all their plans. They bought Mbappe and released Toni Kroos from their club last season to play Jude Bellingham in midfield. Valverde has problems, so Real Madrid's plan may be different in the upcoming matches. 
Real Madrid have plenty of support players but without players on their bench who are at least as skilled as those who have performed in the starting XI in important matches, it will be challenging for them to win against any team. But the defense is still strong, so this defense is now the hope of Real Madrid.
Injury slightly made Real Madrid's power problems but over time Ancelotti tried to finish even though he had to install it not a core player. I believe he is able to solve the problem because indeed into the squad owned by Real Madrid is slightly better than other teams. But because a few matches that ended were not satisfactory, Ancelotti had to find a way to deal with these conditions.

Facing Dortmund is not easy even though Head to Head Real Madrid is still superior but now they have to really work hard so that they do not experience defeat like when facing Lille, even though if you see the opportunity Real Madrid should be able to win the match.

What is happening to Madrid at the moment is not a small problem in my opinion, they are missing a lot of key players at the moment and have to face a tight schedule after the international break, so that of course makes Ancelotti job very tough at the moment, in two days they will face Celta Vigo, indeed that the match looks easier for Madrid to win,  but they only have 3 days to rest before facing Dortmund in the UCL, maybe Ancelotti can overcome the challenges they face but if they continue to play young players and also reserve players of course their chances of winning the match will be very small, although indeed Ancelotti is an experienced coach who has proven his ability to manage the team in various difficult situations, but with the storm of injuries that befall them at the moment it is clear Madrid chances to consistently achieve victory is very small in my opinion,So far Madrid has a better head to head over Dortmund, but the current condition clearly cannot be our reference to favor Madrid in the match.

Real Madrid has a strong record in the Champions League, so they are among the favorites to win it this season.

We know that Real Madrid have a good record in the Champions League. Even in the Champions League platform, Real Madrid is a very strong team. However, it should not be forgotten that the Madrid team was defeated in the second match of the Champions League this season. Real Madrid lost against Lille. And this season in away matches we see some weak and erratic performances from Real Madrid. Therefore, it is not possible to predict for sure how Real Madrid will play in the upcoming matches of the Champions League.


Quote
With Liverpool's current players, I don't think they'll perform well throughout the season, they managed to beat AC Milan and Bologna, but their performance against Bologna was poor. Bologna has been out of this competition for a while, and their performance is still poor, so I expected Liverpool to score three or four goals but they won with two goals against an opponent who has won just a single league game this season.

It is true that the performance of Liverpool's attacking players has been slow this season. But the overall performance of this team is strong. Liverpool have won 6 out of 7 matches in the Premier League. Liverpool players can't score too many goals. However, the team continued its winning streak. Despite not winning the Champions League matches by a large margin, Liverpool managed to win both matches. Liverpool's performance is stable with the help of Arne Slot.

I'd say if Bellingham, Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo don't suffer injuries, Madrid's performance will be stable. These 4 are the most important players in Madrid's squad at the moment. If the bonding between these four players is strong, Madrid's overall performance will be even stronger.

These 4 players are very important to Real Madrid but I don't think they're the only ones you should b praying to avoid an injury. The midfield and defence don't have enough depth too. An injury to Valverde or Camavinga can be a problem. In defence, Madrid have only Militao and Rudiger currently fit for centre-back positions, if an injury is to happen to any of them then there will be trouble.
So even if Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo don't get injured, the team might be in serious trouble if more midfielders and defenders get injured.

The success of Madrid this season might rely solely on the chemistry between their front line. The wings need to be in sync because Madrid will rely on them to create chances and score goals since the midfield can't create chances.

You should also check their performance in their own domestic league in this season, both Bologna and Girona performance are terrible, while Leverkusen is still fine even though not as strong as in the last season. But, Leverkusen met easier opponents, like Milan and Feyenoord, which is nothing surprising they can won those match.
After all we still have many upcoming match, Girona is quite lucky their opponent not that strong.
Bayer Leverkusen is quite better than Girona and feyenoord put together in terms of performance and results this season, Girona are first timers in the champions league and are not used to playing in this kind of competition whereas Feyenoord have not been frequent in the competition as a result of their shortcomings due to their failure to qualify for the tournament, though Bayer Leverkusen also had similar issues but not until they contracted the Spanish coach who came in turned things around and now they have reclaimed back their status as one of Europe's elite club and haven't really disappointed the fans yet on their quest to conquer Europe just as they did in the German bundesliga and I won't be surprised if that happens because in football a lot of miracles do happen.

I would say Leverkusen shouldn't be compared to teams like Feyenoord and Girona. Feyenoord team is relatively weak. Girona's squad, on the other hand, was strong last season. But Girona's squad is not strong this season. And this is why we are seeing erratic and poor performances from Girona. Girona's performance in La Liga is also not strong. At the same time, Girona lost both of their Champions League matches.

Leverkusen have continued their excellent performance in Champions League matches so far. In the first match of the Champions League, the Leverkusen team managed to win against Feyenoord with a big margin of 4-0. In the second match, Leverkusen faced an experienced team like AC Milan. Leverkusen won this match 1-0. Leverkusen is expected to win easily against Brest in the next match.
Most times French clubs are seemingly difficult to face especially in this kind of situations, just like what Monaco did against Barcelona in their first game of the Champions League this season, but if Leverkusen can stay focused then they can also beat FC Brest too, perhaps they have faced a more stronger opponent like Milan so Brest shouldn't be much of a challenge considering the quality of players available in the Leverkusen side, I totally agree with you that they have all it take to go far this season in the Champions league and probably achieve something big.

so this seasonz fans have high hopes with Slot to be able to maintain the consistency of their games in the EPL and UCL until the end of the season later.

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.

I think Arne Slot is the best at handling the coaching part left by Klopp. They are currently at the top of the Premier League and have won 6 out of 7 games. This is a great success and they look like a scary team in the Champions League. I think they will win the match against Leipzig. They are a very good team. I hope they can win the Premier League this year.

To be honest, I really enjoy watching slots style of play involve both counter and possession football. They've been great so far, even though we didn't expect that shocking loss to forest some weeks back. The international break just ended, and the next 8-9 fixtures are going to be a very big test for them. i just checked their UCl fixtures, which they will be meeting with Leipzig, Leverkusen and Real Madrid.

I agree with you that they might win the Leipzig game, but the remaining two UCL fixtures can't be easily predicted. Leverkusen and Real madrid has been great so far in the UCl, and it's same for Liverpool, but Liverpool taking all 3 points from both teams is a huge task that I'm not certain of. All we can do is to wait patiently for those games.

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.
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.

You are right. Bayer Leverkusen are stronger than Brest obviously, even though Brest will be playing at home, and they will want to do everything possible to win against Bayer Leverkusen, but it will be something difficult for them to win against Bayer Leverkusen. Brest are not in good time either, so even if they will be playing at home, Bayer Leverkusen are going to be ahead of them regardless. As long as Bayer Leverkusen will perform the same way they are doing in the Bundesliga, I don’t think they will find it difficult to beat Brest.

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.
Leipzig is a very strong team, but for some reason the Champions League is very difficult for them this season and so far they have not been able to score a single point. They will try to do this in the match with Liverpool, but Liverpool is also very good now to give up points so easily, and if Leipzig loses again, then 0 points after three rounds can be called a disaster, so I think that they will try with all their might to win this match at home, but so far Liverpool with Slot have lost only one match with Nottingham, and they have won all the other games.

Well, never mind... Manchester City will also show their capabilities. Maybe this season is not so bright, but there are bright times ahead. The team players also believe that they will become winners. They have every chance to win. Therefore, we will all see not only a good game from Liverpool, but also from Manchester. It seems that something should change for the better, right?
Well, there are changes that we can see from how this competition will take place, Liverpool even with their new coach can show something good, and that opens up their hopes to be able to become champions in the Premier League or even in the Champions League. Their good appearance ultimately creates an expectation for them, so they must be able to answer the expectations that come to them. So far I have not found any significant problems experienced by Liverpool, so they are still fine. What is worrying is when they have to feel something unwanted when the season is already half way through, such as a storm of injuries and others. But hopefully they can avoid that.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Unfortunately for Leipzig, this new and far different CL version has been more than negative. At least until now. The game against Liverpool though, I doubt that it will be different for them. The Reds this season look very solid and serious with all their opponents and if they get out from serious injuries, can be a favorite to reach at least the quarter-finals.
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.

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.
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.
