Arsenal (confirmed lineup): David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, Mikel Merino, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard.
It will be very exciting for Arsenal supporters to see Martin Odegaard on the substitution. It is something refreshing because Arsenal have missed his creative football that has been of help to Arsenal in both easy and difficult games. Inter Milan is no easy team to Arsenal just as Arsenal is a big team to them, so both teams will be weary of each other not to make mistakes. Declan Rice's absence is something that Arsenal can deal with, they have the in form Thomas Partey that has been very good in all the positions he has played.

It  is easier to predict the winner in the other games, not the Arsenal game.

As I predicted last night, Manchester City didn't win, but I didn't expect them to play this poorly.  Rodri and KDB injuries are killing their season. Liverpool have been playing fantastically under Arne Slot. Last night, they defeated the current Bundesliga champions with 4-0. Well, it's too early to say for sure, but I can say that Liverpool is one of the biggest favorites for the Champions League this season.

Very humiliating defeat as such, it's not funny again, I think Carlo anceloti got work to do, I never expected such out of bound home defeat by AC Milan to Real Madrid, yea, mbappe has not fit in to Realmadrid pattern of play, this is a problem, Realmadrid is great team, though i know that much is expected of mbappe but the truth is, he may not adapt this season, my question is, would the continue waiting for him to adapt as things keep getting out of hand, why over tasking him when there are other players that can actually be helping out, real Madrid is a good team and I believe as a team if a player is not giving their best other players can do that, irrespective of how much mbappe is worth, what matters is the team success and as it stands the success of Realmadrid is in serious jeopardy, for me, this is the best time for carlo anceloti to act.

Though no team is above losing  but Real Madrid has got a team of world class players thats capable of withstanding some kind of pressure, talking about Realmdrid formation last season, it's also a good idea if the manager try it out but for me I think all hope should not be centered on 1 player, Real Madrid yesterday result was very devastating and uncalled for, though bet were lost which is also not good but the major thing is the team.
This is the problem, Real Madrid built yet another "los galacticos" according to them, at the start of the season they were expected to do a lot better. Last season they had Joselu at the striker position and he was so bad that they decided to play without him in so many games, this year they added Mbappe to that position so everyone assumed Real Madrid would win every game.

Looking at how they are doing, they lost to Lille, and now they lost to Milan, these are not acceptable losses. If they faced and lost to some other big team, like when they lost to Barcelona, or if they faced City and lost there, those would be fine. But right now they are losing to teams which are beneath their level as well and nobody wants to see that. I do not know what they will do to recover, maybe they can figure out a way to get better and change their strategy and place the players in different positions, but they need to change something before things get worse.

This season's UCL trophy is quite interesting, because we see how clubs that routinely participate in the UCL, have to fight tooth and nail to be able to enter the last 16, such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG. Teams that usually easily penetrate the last 16, now the club must be far below the standings.

Especially if we look at Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. After Bayern Munich performed very well in the first round of the UCL against Dynamo with a fantastic score, Bayern had to admit defeat in the next two matches against Aston Villa and FC Barcelona. So Bayern Munich is now in 27th position in the standings. Bayern Munich must fight even harder and must be able to win the next 3 matches to ensure that Bayern Munich can enter the top 24 in order to participate in the play-offs to secure a ticket to the last 16 of the UCL cup. And so it is with Atletico Madrid who is in 29th position in the standings, Atletico must start to rise and catch up.

Things are not going well for Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti this season. After their heavy defeat against Barcelona in La Liga, they also lost to Milan at home in the Champions League. I believe a genius like Ancelotti will find an urgent solution, but if he can't, Real Madrid fans will continue to suffer.

I really don't know what to say about Real Madrid performance, I will still give them a chance, I really fill disappointed with their performance, a current champion sitting in 17th place in the UCL league table, this is not encouraging, I don't know what else they need to prove themselves right because they have everything that will make a team great but it going another dimension but still I will give them benefit of doubt that the anger in them for facing defeat against Barcelona have changed many things in the squad, Carlo Ancelotti really have a lot to do regarding all this embarrassing because he was given all what he asked for, so both the management and the fans are expecting their return which they haven't see it.

A day before the scheduled match, many people including myself had already done their analysis, but the results received in some of the Champions League matches that were played yesterday were unexpected. The team that should have won based on the available statistics and facts, did not do as expected. So the words “crazy results” are rightly uttered by those who bet.

The Real Madrid match and the Manchester City match are good examples to illustrate what they call crazy results after doing their analysis. You are right that Real Madrid and Manchester City should have won the match, but they had to lose by more than 2 goals.
This is the risk if you only bet on your favorite team, while you could lose because your favorite team doesn't play the match as expected. Manchester City made many mistakes throughout the match which ultimately resulted in them losing 4-1 to Sporting, 3 of the 4 goals came from the penalty spot, aka penalties.

If you review the match statistics between Sporting vs Manchester City, you should say the score is 1-4 for Manchester City to win, but in fact it is the opposite. Sporting surprisingly stopped and humiliated Manchester City in the final match with Ruben Amorim before moving to Manchester United. Amorim really completed his duties perfectly before leaving and he will definitely be remembered as a coach who made history for Sporting.

This year's champions league is filled with strange results and that makes me wonder if it would actually be easy to predict a winner in the matches. Yesterday we saw several teams that ought to win their matches, lose miserably. For instance,  Real Madrid, Leipzig, Manchester City were all expected to win their matches, but they all lost by big margin. I don't know if a repeat will happen tonight against Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal and PSG. I think Barcelona will definitely win their match.

Leverkusen who should have been able to match Liverpool also suffered a big defeat.

For the matches that will be played in a few moments such as Bayern Munich, PSG and several other teams that are favored to win. It is also possible that the results of the previous matches could happen.

I like this new format more and more as we have the chance to watch more quality games compared to the previous year. I think the most awaited match for every football fan is Inter-Arsenal today. Arsenal got only 1 point in the last 3 matches in the Premier League. Therefore, I expect Arsenal to react in this game.

That is football for us and the problem with most football lovers is always having that mentality that the big teams will always win without considering a possibility of the lesser teams to also win after all, if not for quality and strength of players that differentiate teams, they all have 11 players on the pitch. Yesterday's games were really disappointing apart from few clubs that managed to win according to how the bookies predicted. Many gamblers surely lost bets yesterday because it's only people that choose both teams to score and over goals that will escape not losing bets in Real Madrid, Leipzig and Manchester city games. I think we should even expect more drama this evening because i feel some of the big teams we are hoping to win their match today may end up with surprising results just like yesterday.

While Inter didn’t have the best start to the season, Arsenal’s start has been even more challenging, making the outcome unpredictable. Most likely, Simone Inzaghi will adopt a defensive strategy, as he did against City, forcing Arsenal to break through a strong back line. Considering recent performances, Inter has shown more stability, making them look slightly more likely to win.
It can be said that Inter Milan started better in Serie A and the Champions League while Arsenal were a little unlucky several times in important matches... this time it will certainly be fierce after not meeting for a long time... I think Inter Milan will have a strong defense and the current line is quite good, I don't know if until now some Arsenal players are still injured or have recovered?

Bayern Munich have been extremely excellent since the beginning of this very campaign but when it comes to the champions league I don't see them as tough as they are in the Bundesliga. Last time Aston Villa gave them a taste of their own medicine and tonight the Barbarians are facing another stubborn opponent, Benfica. I can't be too sure if this encounter would be an easy one for Bayern Munich because the Portuguese club has been doing well too so the host will find it difficult to penetrate Benfica to get goals like they have been doing to other teams they do score many goals. If I'm to stake on this game I'll go for either Benfica to score 2 or more goals or both score and over 2.5.

Honestly, Bayern Munich have not been doing as great in the Champions League as they are in their domestic league. I think the cause of their low performances in the Champions League is that Kompany is not a well-experienced coach. If not, Bayern Munich should be performing better than they are now in the Champions League.

If we observe closely those matches that Bayern Munich lost, it is clear that Kompany is not very tactical. Otherwise, they would not have lost those two matches. Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 4-1, even though Bayern had more possession. Barcelona's coach was very tactical, which is the reason why many of Bayern Munich’s potential goals were ruled offside.

In today's match, it will not be easy for either team. Still, Bayern Munich is my favorite to win. I am aware that Benfica is in good form, but comparing the quality of players, I believe Bayern should be able to win or at least draw. However, let’s see what will happen, as we have experienced many surprises in the matches yesterday.

Here’s today’s lineup of Champions League matches:

- Brugge — Aston Villa
- Shakhtar Donetsk — Young Boys
- Sparta Prague — Brest
- PSG — Atletico Madrid
- Bayern — Benfica
- Inter Milan — Arsenal
- Red Star Belgrade — Barcelona
- Stuttgart — Atalanta
- Feyenoord — Salzburg

The match of the day is considered to be Inter Milan vs Arsenal. Bookmakers have set odds of 2.70 for an Inter win and 2.90 for an Arsenal win.

Among all the Champions League matches, Inter Milan vs Arsenal happens to be the most interesting game to watch, this season champions seem to change totally with the way things are going, the best teams still find themselves in the middle of table while unexpected teams are topping the table, Arsenal will not find this match easy because Inter Milan are really in the best form, they are unbeaten in the last eight matches while Arsenal have losts two games in their last five matches, this match is going to be tough especially when both are have the same record in the table expect for the scoring goals, and both are still running unbeaten in the league, let hope we see a winner tonight.

Inter and Arsenal have rich European traditions, but these teams have faced each other only three times. Their last Champions League encounter was back in 2003, when Arsenal claimed a 5-1 victory. Today’s match promises to be an intense battle.
While Inter didn’t have the best start to the season, Arsenal’s start has been even more challenging, making the outcome unpredictable. Most likely, Simone Inzaghi will adopt a defensive strategy, as he did against City, forcing Arsenal to break through a strong back line. Considering recent performances, Inter has shown more stability, making them look slightly more likely to win.

I believe a genius like Ancelotti will find an urgent solution, but if he can't, Real Madrid fans will continue to suffer.


Ancelotti is the fault of Real Madrid's weakness, in my opinion, because Mbappe is not a striker and is forced to play on the wings. It has been a very poor season for Real Madrid because I did not believe Real Madrid would perform poorly this season, they have lost back-to-back in the league and Champions League, Madrid should have four games to play ahead. so they can still come back with a good performance and win the remaining four matches in the competition.

Real Madrid has always been the monarch of the Champions League, and I believe they will continue to challenge clubs in the competition. Because this time, it is not only Madrid that is suffering, Manchester City is also struggling in the Champions League because some of their players are out of shape. Real Madrid and Manchester City have always been the favorites in all competitions, and I believe they will recover strongly. Manchester City and Real Madrid will definitely advance to the next round of the UCl, despite losing back-to-back matches in the league and Champions League. Ancelotti and Guadiola are experienced managers, and they will do a good job before the season end.

Manchester City may be fan favorites to win the Champions League, but there is no "small club" in the UEFA Champions League. It’s called the Champions League because it brings together champions from leagues across Europe to compete for the title of Europe's best. I didn’t expect AC Milan to win at the Santiago Bernabéu, and I was genuinely shocked by the scoreline, as Milan went on to humble Madrid in their own stadium.

As for the game in Portugal, where Sporting Lisbon hosted Manchester City, I was surprised that Ruben Amorim managed to outwit Guardiola. Many bettors surely lost heavily as the underdogs triumphed in both yesterday's encounters between Real Madrid and AC Milan, and Sporting Lisbon and Manchester City.
Well technically you do not have to be champions to be in the champions league. You can be as low as fourth place in few nations, and not all of these teams are champions. Milan didn't win the league last season for example, but Sporting did win it, so they are champions. The reality is, there are strong teams on UCL, that part is true and because of this we need to be careful, no matter who you face, they will be dangerous and even the great teams needs to be careful.

Now that Real Madrid lost again, we are seeing them at 17th place, with some teams below them still have games, so they can drop even further as well. That is not something we are used to seeing Real Madrid do. In fact, so much so that, it's almost guaranteed they will not finish in top 8, unless they win every game left and others lose a lot, they will probably finish outside of top 8.

Bayern Munich's two away games have been poor and dropped points, tragically losing to Barcelona 4-1 and now against Benfica at Allianz should win playing at home always has an advantage.

I don't know if they will have the same fate as Real Madrid who fell to the underdogs? Like Bayern Munich not seeing from the reflection it is still possible to win because if you lose points the position will be even more mired and difficult to qualify.

I think the new pattern that UEFA brought in this season's Champions league is making it more tougher to be predicted we've seen strange things happen in the competition for instance Real Madrid losing against Lille and then to Ac Milan when it's supposed to be the other way round, I won't be suprised if an underdog wins this season's Champions league cause it seems to favour several of them, i wasn't really suprised at Madrid's lose like I was seeing Manchester City being defeated 4-1 at England it's something you don't see on a regular in the Champions League. I believe that yesterday was a very unlucky day for bettors cause lots of them would've picked teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid and Leipzig to win. Well, today might be different cause teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich are not having very difficult opponents, except for PSG and Arsenal that would be facing Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.

It was crazy yesterday, so crazy. I don’t think any gambler that patronized the 1x2 market in an accumulation betting option would make any win. It’s definitely going to be a loss. The only exceptions where gambler that would have patronized the goal market. That could have had some positivity but, it was really crazy yesterday. Imagine the great white sharks being beaten in a home game by a whooping 3 goals to 1 or Manchester City loosing to Sporting CP by 4 goals to 1. Really, crazy!!!

Aston villa is the team who can able to gets 3 winning streak at the beginning of season and this makes them can able to collect 9 points and as underrated team i think this is good achievement because people previously has been ruled out Aston Villa as strong team in this competition but surprisingly they were performing well but recently Aston Villa has decline performance that in the last 3 matches in all competitions Aston Villa was unable to win even the latest is Aston Villa lost from Tottenham with the final scores 4-1

I think Aston Villa should be utilize today match to bounce back so i think this is good opportunity for them to gets the winning result this because Aston Villa opponent is Club Brugge which on the paper this should being an easy match for them and there was no head to head statistics between them and this is the first time they have met in this competition and Aston Villa win has good odds to bets @2.16
