The casinos weren't wrong for the odd of Young boys afterall, they couldn't even get a goal from their opponent (Aston Villa), it could have been more actually if there wasn't  any disqualified goal but at least they get to play in the Champions league...
Liver is already down with 1 to Milan in just 3 mins, well there's still enough time to equalise the game, I still don't know who will win this game actually  but I still think Liverpool might win(though its  a doubt  ) or  it could just be a  draw game for both side.
so far there has been early goals in these games,  I hope no club will disrupt it, it should just continue like that

I think the Real vs. Stuttgart match will be the most interesting one today, despite Real Madrid's roster issues. With Mbappé joining the squad, Real is still finding its rhythm but remains the favorite due to their strong attacking line. Stuttgart, on the other hand, has challenges after losing key players, but they are still capable of putting up a fight.
Real is expected to win, but it likely won’t be a blowout. The total number of goals will probably stay under 4.5, as both teams are still working towards their best form.

Milan must be able to get points from Liverpool even though it is not championed. This season is a momentum for the Rossoneri to be able to rise and go far in the Champions League. If you look at statistics, it is certainly not easy for Milan to beat the Reds but playing at the San Siro must be maximized. Liverpool are also undergoing changes in the squad of the change of coach also affecting performance. Mohammad Salah and his friends had just suffered defeats from Nottingham Forest in EPL, meaning that there was a gap in Fonseca to mix his squad to be able to subdue his guests.

It's certainly a good start for Juventus and both Aston villa too, I mean winning away is certainly a good way to start up your champions league campaign. For the rest games I think the major teams are also going to win their matches except only for Liverpool, I really don't know why but something actually tells me that game would be tough for them to win and even if they manage to come out Victorious I think both teams are going to score .

The UCL has began and we as fans cannot ignore complaints and agitations from the players regarding the new UCL format. Rodri is not the only player that has come out to express their frustration with the increased number of games played in the UCL, Alisson Becker has also lend his voice to the issue.

You have to feel for the players. Look at the number of the games the players have to play during the course of the season. They have international duty: the World Cup qualifiers; Euros qualifiers; Nations league. And for the Africans: the AFCON Qualifiers, and World Cup qualifiers.

A European player in the EPL will have to play all these international tournaments in addition to the premier league, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and the Champions league. Altogether making it seven tournaments. That’s quite a lot of games. You have to consider injury and fatigue, we can’t expect these players to give us that high performance with these additions. 

I was sure that Aston Villa would have an easy win against Young Boys. Because the Young Boys team is not in good form this season. Young Boys can't win a single match of the Swiss Super League this season. So I was sure this team would lose against Aston Villa as well. Aston Villa won this away match by a huge margin of 3-0.

But I thought the PSV vs Juventus match would be competitive. But the performance of PSV players was very poor in today's match. Several attacks were made by PSV players. However, they cannot break the defense of Juventus. The Juventus team was leading 3-0 until 90 minutes. PSV managed to score a goal after 90 minutes.

We were afraid from Juventus to fail or not to score but they succeeded to score 3 goals and to win that game. Such result will make them play more comfortably in the next games.
Aston Villa made a good victory too against Young Boys in Switzerland and they managed to pick the three points and stay in top. It appears that every point counts in this new format.

Juventus and PSV, Young Boys and Aston Villa met in the opening matches of the Champions League.
Aston Villa managed to get a good win by defeating their opponent 3-0 away from home without much difficulty.
Juventus, on the other hand, opened the gap against PSV in the first half and gained the superiority over its opponent.Juventus started the second half with a goal and increased the difference to 3 in the 52nd minute.PSV scored in the last minutes, but unfortunately it didn't mean much.The match ended with a 3-1 Juventus victory.

We all know that Real Madrid struggles sometimes to win their games but when it comes to a game that is being played in Santiago Bernabeu Real Madrid always take it seriously and they always find a way to win in every game, many people don't believe that Real Madrid is still having a good performance but we should remember that Real Madrid is a team that always finds a way to win a game and trophy, not a team that will impress you from the beginning and at the end of the season they can't win any trophy.

Stuttgart is also a strong team in the Bundesliga because sometimes when Stuttgart plays against Bayern Munich or Leipzig and Leverkusen they are serious in the game and I think they will be serious against Real Madrid also but what will make Real Madrid win the game is because the midfield position is balanced. After all, Jude Bellingham and Tchoumeni will be in the midfield and the midfield position will be very strong in attacking and creating chances.

Real Madrid are always good in the Champions League, so I don't see anything that will prevent Madrid from winning tonight; they are not performing well in the league, but I am confident they will perform well in the Champions League tonight; Stuttgart is doing well this season; they are performing well in the Bundesliga, but Real Madrid is better than them, so I don't see anything that will prevent Madrid from winning today. Juventus is currently leading 2-0 against PSV. Let's see how Real Madrid does today. I'm looking forward to Mbappe's first goal in the UCL and Vini Jr. Ancelotti needs to win today without making any mistakes, because I notice that Real madrid always draw first half and they need to win Stuttgart since from the first half, am betting on Real Madrid win tonight and am sure they won't fail anyone hand today. Because some of there players as come back from injury so Madrid midfielder will be more perfect now, Let see how the game will ends.

There is going to be more than two goals in this game because although Aston villa is looking like they are going to walk away with all three points, young boys are not going to go down without getting a goal. Young boys might lose the game if the game does not end in a draw and both sides share a point each. But if Aston villa is going to win as it is already looking like that is what is going to happen, I still think young boys are going to get a consolation goal but I might be wrong. Early goal from Tielemans is what has given Aston villa dominance over this game and Ramsey added another goal few minutes before the halftime. I was routing for young boys to win this game or atleast get some point because this is one of the best games they can get something from to stay long in the champions league this season.

Juventus's performance today was very organized from the first minute of the match, the defense of Juventus team is very strong, we knew that. Juventus' weakness was their forwards. We thought that if the forwards perform well, Juventus will win or they will lose points. But today Juventus' forward players performed well. The team took a 2-0 lead in the first half. Despite leading 2-0, Juventus did not play defensively in the second half. Juventus made several strong counter-attacks. Nicolas' goal at the beginning of the second half gave Juventus a 3-0 lead. Juventus lead 3-0 after 75 minutes. So I don't see any possibility of Juventus losing points in the match.

The match between Liverpool and the AC Milan will be a interesting match tonight, according to the people’s that both the teams have a wonderful record in previous seasons in the champions league; that’s means the match will be very tough tonight if both the teams rerun with the good performances as usually, but for me even to say I have interest to stake in this game how rather chooses Liverpool as straight winner.

Because currently now Liverpool also have better squad to Fabre any of their opponents without scared, but let us never make an early prediction we have less than one hour for the match to begin we shall be wait and see what can actually happen tonight.

I lack words to say, other than wow, how the scoreline of the match between Young Boys and Aston Villa changed from 0-0 to 0-2 in favor of Aston Villa within 10 mins. Tielemans scored the first goal in 27 minutes, and the second goal by Ramsey in 38 minutes of play. The third goal scored by Watkins was canceled as a foul by VAR.

It's the end of the first half. The Young boy's performance in the first half is a bit okay, but their defense is where the team's problem lies. I just hope the Young Boys coach will fix that in the second half, and tell the frontline strikers to mount pressure on the defense of Aston Villa, more especially from the right wig.

Hahaha the reality of every game is always at the end of the game the odds adjustment shouldn't be any reason for betting against a favorite team even though there is no guarantee, but however Liverpool should be double chanced anyway, Juventus and Aston Villa played an impressive game and it is already 2 goals to 0 at the first half of the game, there is seemly more expectations of goals from both teams even in the second half quarter the both teams have such much confidence and it could get up o 2, 2, more goals from both teams.

If I remember the initial odds correctly, the bookmakers have already adjusted Liverpool's odds quite significantly (I think they were below 1.8 at the start). Usually, when such moves happen, it makes sense to bet against the favorite. Milan Double Chance looks reliable. As for Bayern, even their victory with a handicap of -2 goals looks inevitable.
To my surprise, Juventus and Aston Villa play the opening game with great enthusiasm and after the first half the score is already 2-0.

The both matches have started and it seems to be going on the favour of Juventus because currently they have scored 2:0 against PSV Eindhoven, actually is not even as if the Juventus team are playing so much on this game but they are just fortunate to have good strikers because PSV Eindhoven is also playing very well and they are more in possession than Juventus but they lack good finishers and there midfield is not too strong for me.

Aston Villa on the other hand against Young Boys is also going in the favour of Aston Villa wining 2:0, the way Aston Villa and Juventus is leading there opposite team with the same goal pattern on the first half is actually funny but since they are about ending the first half I don't think there would be any other goal from the both side but certainly there would be more goals as they are coming back on the second half.

Your stake in these games is working perfectly. I know they never met before, but if you are judge based on the team's standard and current form together with some Champions League experience, Juventus should win their match, and Aston Villa should also win their match.

Aston Villa is winning their game by 3-0 away from home at first half, while Juventus has also scored two home goals in the first half. These performances showed by them is a good welcome to the best League, and I hope we enjoy this new pattern of the group stage before the round of 16.

I will be expecting more goals from Aston Villa and Juventus because they both dominated their games and are all aiming to score more goals in the game.

The match between Milan and Liverpool will be a very competitive one given the recent performances of both teams. Milan have been going through an up and down period lately. Although they are very effective in attack, they have problems in defense. Fonseca is not playing the way he wants to play at Milan at the moment.

Milan's signings this season have not performed as expected and there is a negative atmosphere in the team. Liverpool, on the other hand, is a very strong team in terms of offense even though they lost their last game. For this reason, Liverpool's effective attacking players are likely to take advantage of Milan's defensive deficiencies. I expect an exciting game where both teams will score, so I expect both teams to score. A draw might be a good option.
