I think everyone sees Liverpool as the favorite. However, I think Milan, one of the best teams in the Italian league, should not be underestimated. If Liverpool underestimates Milan, they could suffer a heavy defeat like the one they played last weekend. No team should be underestimated in the Champions League, especially if it is a strong team like Milan.

Yes. I agree this game is a bit in favour of the away team, but it is not easy for Aston Villa to get 3 points away from home. Young Boys also have the home advantage, where they have the support of many fans. The home team has the potential to surprise. Remember, Young Boys just defeated formidable opponent Galatasaray in the play-off round and won a ticket to the official UEFA group stage. At the moment, Young Boys are in good form with a 7-match unbeaten streak and can expect a good result against Aston Villa. Aston Villa are not a reliable team when away from home, having lost 4/6 of their last official away matches.

So I have a contrary opinion and do not believe Aston Villa will win. A draw seems reasonable for this match.

It would not be wrong to say that Aston Villa are favorites in this match. Because this group is quite strong. Villa played well last season too. Aston Villa won three out of four matches this season. In very good form no doubt.

But Young Boys is a team that has the ability to perform well against big teams. Even in the last season we got to see great performances from this team. However, the performance of this team this season is very disappointing to me. The last team in the table of the Swiss Super League is now Young Boys. This team has yet to win a single match out of 6 matches. The most important thing is that this team's defense is very weak. Young Boys conceded 14 goals in 6 matches. I doubt this team can perform well against Aston Villa in such poor form.

Well I really do understand the angle you are coming from and I buy into your sentiment because in as much as Liverpool have a better head too head record against Ac Milan, that didn't change the fact that Milan is a very strong side and a team that have a very rich history in the uefa champions league, so it's actually not going to be a walk in the park for this Liverpool side, it's going to be a difficult game, not just for ac Milan, but also for the Liverpool team.

No doubt it's definitely going to be a fascinating encounter between this two teams, but in my own opinion I think that Liverpool have more firepower that I think Ac Milan will definitely struggle to keep at bay, and on that note, I think that Liverpool would snatch the winning, but it would be a  very close contested match, that's my own opinion though, I don't know if anyone sees it differently?

Lastly, why I am very much convince that Liverpool wouldn't lose this game against Milan is that since they lost one nil to northenham Forrest over the weekend, slot the manager of Liverpool will do everything possible for them not to lose back to back, and that is why I believe that Liverpool will give even more in their performance, just to return back to winning ways, so the least am expecting from them is a draw, if not I expected them to win, even though it would be difficult.

yes, in fact, if they think they are going there and underestimating their opponent they are greatly mistaken, let's say that Milan is also having some excellent matches which can lead to a result that can surprise everyone, so pay attention to Milan and how they will behave in the Champions League, it could be an unpredictable outcome

However, Liverpool must realize that the match against AC Milan will be a big challenge for Liverpool in the next match. Liverpool should not underestimate their opponents because Milan's quality is still there, they also have a long history of the UCL league and this match is played in front of supporters I think this is an influence because we know the atmosphere of San Siro is still tense for every opponent when competing in the UCL league.

So in my opinion even though Milan has a slow start this season, but when playing in the UCL league I think their quality will be different, it will definitely remain high. Personally I also predict that Liverpool will win this match with a narrow score, but with the note that Liverpool should not underestimate their opponents even though they are currently favored because the UCL league always has unexpected surprises.

Can AC Milan win against Liverpool? I had high expectations for AC Milan's squad this season. But this team's performance has disappointed me in every match. They lost points in the first three matches. And in these three matches, Milan lost points due to poor defense. However, in the last match, Milan got a fantastic 4-0 win against Venezia. However, it cannot be said for sure if Milan's performance is still stable.

Liverpool on the other hand is a very strong team. And Liverpool players are in very good form this season too. Liverpool's performance is now very strong with the help of new coach Arne Slott. So in this match I think the Liverpool team is the favorite.



Real Madrid is the most experienced team in the Champions League. Stuttgart, on the other hand, is not very experienced. But this team of Bundesliga is strong. So if Real Madrid make any mistake in this match they are likely to lose points. Real Madrid will likely have Bellingham in the squad for this match. Also we have seen good performances from Mbappe and Vini in the last few matches. So Madrid team can be considered favorites against Stuttgart.

As you said that Juventus current attack line is unlikely to be expected to score more and on the one hand PSV has a more stable squad. From a strong attack line and a very consistent defense. So for me in this match even though Juventus will be the host, it is still very difficult to get a win.
Maybe I will bet on under 2.75 with odds @1.72 or maybe BTTS (No). However, Juventus defense looks better than the attack line.

And for the Young Boys vs Aston Villa match I have the same prediction as everyone here that Aston Villa has no problem whatsoever to beat YB. Because YB currently also has a little problem with some important players who are experiencing injury problems. For that match I will probably take a bet on Aston Villa winning -0.75 or -1 with bigger odds.

Juventus vs PSV is still an interesting match for me to watch @1.81 not too bad to bet on, yes as entertainment while waiting for the first Big match Milan vs Liverpool. It is very unfortunate that Madrid vs Stuttgart takes place at the same time which makes me have to monitor both matches so as not to miss. Aston Villa looks like they can start the match with a win, hopefully betting on Aston Villa can bring good luck.

My prediction is that Milan and Liverpool will end fiercely, Arne Slot could be surprised by Milan's tough and strong game but if Mo Salah and Diaz are on fire it might be a plus point to control attacks from 2 directions. And for Madrid it seems that it will not be easy to beat Stuttgart Madrid's situation is still not entirely promising especially since Brahim Diaz is certain to be absent, even though as a supersub he is still more effective when given the position occupied by Rodrygo.

AC Milan to win the match against Liverpool will certainly be difficult because AC Milan's current strength is not the same as AC Milan's strength when they were still reinforced by players who have now retired.

AC Milan's statistics when they met Liverpool in the last 7 times can be an initial reference for why we need to doubt AC Milan to win. In fact, Liverpool have recently recorded satisfactory results even though they lost their last match in the domestic league.
Liverpool are still very consistent even though their squad has been filled by a new generation after the generation that made their name in the UCL has ended.
I predict that Liverpool's chances of getting points are greater than AC Milan's chances of winning.

In the Domestic League Juventus found a deadlock in yesterday's match with a draw against Empoli, proving how difficult it is for them to get goals. The city knows that Juventus has a great desire in the European League but for the first time they play again in the Champions League makes me doubt the squad coached by Thiago Motta who until now has not confirmed the right players for the important match, that he knows that his players still need to adapt to get chemistry from all lines especially their midfield, there is a lot of homework in the Juventus midfield which makes their attackers have difficulty creating goals in important matches.

I better avoid betting on clubs that I think are doubtful even though Aston Villa is a Premier League club but its performance cannot be said to be good in a big competition like this, last season Aston Villa also did not perform well in the European conference league even though Aston Villa looked the strongest club there and many had high expectations considering Aston Villa's impressive performance in the Premier League so in this match it also seems quite difficult for him to beat a club like Young Boys who is more experienced in the UCL.

For the UCL match I have my own options for betting and I think this is a pretty good choice but also a bit risky especially the Bayern Munich match where I chose to bet on Handicap hopefully Bayern will score at least 5 goals in this match.

AC Milan didn't get off to a very good start to the season, with their performances consistently disappointing. Following them in the position they currently occupy in Serie A suggests they are imperfect. Similarly, in EPL Liverpool and smaller teams have lost together, and their game performance was not that exciting which is why they lost. But it can be expected that Liverpool vs AC Milan is going to be a much more interesting game between these two teams, both teams will fight with excitement, I think Liverpool have more hope to win here.

Aston villa vs Young boys is a critical game that I won't want to make conclusion on in a hurry. Juxtaposing the two teams, one has the champions league experience than the other and that's a good advantage for them. Aston villa may be looking good t home in their domestic league games but may not give out same performance when they go out to Europe that why in few cases I don't normally judge how well  some of these clubs that are not regular in the champions league will perform base on their domestic league performance. I am thinking Young boys will win this game.

It's a big game tomorrow between Liverpool; and AC Millina no doubt. I still kind of find it difficult to pick a winning side here. Looking at Liverpool's performance in the just concluded match in the premier league against Nottingham Forest. Truly I wasn't impressed with their performance at all. They lost good opportunities to score and if they end up taking such a leg into the UCL I must say that AC Millina would win them. Let's not forget how good AC Millian had played in the just concluded Champions League last season and the season before. If they are still under the same pressure I doubt that Liverpool will have a peaceful win over them.

Manchester City is certainly set up to win the Champions League again and in my opinion, the games they lost against Real Madrid in the last few years, they have never been the inferior team, but Real Madrid got luck on their side and scored some goals that won't happen every single time. Though what the opponents did very well against Manchester City especially in the knock out games was to take Haaland out of the game. He wasn't very successful in the final rounds of the Champions League. I can imagine that this time they might have a different plan, but in general I see Manchester City being a bit ahead of Real Madrid in terms of the quality of the teams. But it will also depend on whether or not Mbappe will be able to show his best. That would be an amazing showdown between him and Haaland.

The stat you’ve brought up to compare the two teams can be very interesting to view but that does not mean we will be seeing something similar to that when they meet again in the champions league this season. The match is very important for both teams and I fell they will both out in their best not minding what was the previous results of their head-to-head match in the past.

I have full confidence in AC Milan just like I have for Liverpool. It all depends on each individual team’s performance that will make us see the outcome of this match. I don’t think they’ve both started the season on a very poor grounds, they can step up from here to win a lot in this season. I’m waiting to see how things turn out for both of them in this match this week.

Expecting Milan to win in the first match I think this is a difficult mission in their current condition which is still not too good in terms of consistency.

Indeed, in terms of performance on the field, especially for the quality of Milan's attacks, it is actually still quite good, but when talking about mistakes in defense that are sometimes not solid in the last few matches they have done, to be honest, to face Liverpool with a fast EPL style of play it will definitely be very difficult to do.
Liverpool have a much bigger chance in this match but it is possible that there will be a surprise in Milan's home match even though it is a difficult situation to happen because I feel Milan's chance is a draw is the best for their first match in the opening match of the Champions League.

AC Milan's performance is not consistent this season, they are not in good form this season because they only win one match this season since the start of the new season, they are currently seated in the 10th position on the Seria A table.
Liverpool on the other hand have a very good start this season under Arne Slot, they won their first three match and they unfortunately lost their last match against Nottingham Forest.

I don't think AC Milan at this current form will be able to defeat the current Liverpool squad, Liverpool will approach the match with the anger of their last match which will help them to win the match easily as Milan is not also in good form.

What is expected of Milan right now?
We actually know how their performance in the last few matches even in the domestic competition they did in the last 4 matches they only managed to get 1 win, which of course this proves that the situation in Milan is much worse than Liverpool.

Although in the end the domestic competition is different from the competition in the Champions League but in the end this can be a benchmark where in domestic competitions with opponents who are actually a little easier than them are still very inconvenient especially when talking about the Champions League and Liverpool are currently still in pretty good form even though they in this week's match did not go smoothly because they had to lose unexpectedly but that did not make Liverpool drop from probability because they are still the favourites in this match.
