Here is the list of the games we are going to have next week.  

It is going to be the third game week in the league phase. We are nearly halfway through it. But not yet because of having 8 games instead of 6 from now on...

When it comes to the games, Real Madrid - Dortmund gets my attention right away on the first day.    It is like the rematch of the last Champions League finale. I think Real Madrid will win by a close score such as 2-1. What do you say? Will it be a revenge time by Dortmund?

On the other day, the biggest game is obviously Barcelona - Bayern Munich. I have already stated my opinion. I hope not to see Barcelona losing this time. Who knows, maybe even a win to break this bad streak?  

Seriously this two teams have been European finest teams this season so it would be a very interesting match between them two. Both have lost one match in this champions league with the new phase now I think the both teams must at all cost win. The pressure seems to be the same although for Barcelona they have their reputation at stake in this match. If there is any Teams that needs to trash Barcelona it is them seriously. They have suffer humiliation from them on numerous occasions and a revenge will be great most importantly in the face of their fans.

Comparing both team players I will say Bayern Munich have a superior squad compared to the Laliga leaders. The striker comparisons we have Lewandowski for Barcelona and then Harry Kane for Bayern Munich, I think Harry Kane edges ahead on the current form, comparing wingers only Yamal has the number to go head to head with the Bayern Munich wingers. Overall I see Bayern Munich been a superior in the match, but Barcelona have been consistent and could make it through the game and take the three points

You are right about the course of the two matches, the defeats in question clearly have their own reasons. Barcelona probably wouldn't have lost the match against Monaco if they had 11 players on the pitch, but unfortunately the referee forced them to play with 10 players from the moment the red card was given. In this match, Barcelona proved that they also have good strength not to concede more goals in the second half than their 11 aggressive opponents. But clearly, it was a tiring match.

H2H is not always important in analyzing each team's chances of winning the next match, for me it is just data that may not be completely ignored. Teams that have a good record will usually be able to play matches without much burden, while teams that have a bad record will have the burden of stopping their bad record. Sometimes that's why Barcelona always loses against Bayern Munich, even some former Bayern Munich players have directly underestimated Barcelona.

Of course, Barcelona is expected to be able to give their best against Bayern Munich in the Champions League this season, after all, it is a home match which can help them appear with good confidence. This match will be very interesting to look forward to, if Barcelona wins then it will be good capital ahead of El Clasico.

Why do you assume Barcelona is below other European teams? Barcelona has quality players, Yamal is just one of the key players of Barcelona. Yamal is a very young player but he could contribute much for Barcelona. Although Yamal has no much experience in UCL, Yamal has a very explosive power. Whenever he is in Barcelona lineup, he very often showed the difference. Moreover, Barcelona has Lewandowski who is very experience in UCL. Lewandowski could be the player that possibly brings the change in the match, too. With these great players, it is quite strange that you assume Barcelona is in the lower level compared with other teams.  

No doubt Real Madrid has many star players but many of them are injured now. Meanwhile there are 3 Dortmund players only who got injured. In this situation, Dortmund has the advantage because they can easily determine the lineup. It is very different with Real Madrid, they will be difficult to determine the lineup because they lose some key players. In this situation, I'm not sure that Real Madrid will beat Dortmund.

I see a home game is Barcelona's only advantage. Their squad is not much better than their opponent's. But to call that if Bayern is being slightly favored in this game doesn't meet the reality. The latest odds still slightly favor them over Munich to win the game. And they probably get one or three points from Munich soon.


I can't really use the past result to determine the outcome in the upcoming game. Bayern looked far superior in term of head to head compared to the Barcelona, but let's not for get these things. They have different squad, coach, and staff. So, it's greatly impacting their performance against Barcelona.

They're not at their prime. I believe they'll struggle to beat Barcelona with Hansi Flick on their opponent's side.

Both teams have productive front lines and strong defenses. Of course, the match will be difficult to predict. Seeing the position of both in the Champions League standings is also interesting.
Both will need victory points, Barcelona may have a better chance. But a draw also has a big chance of happening. I haven't decided on a bet either, maybe when the match starts I will make a bet. Maybe there will be the latest news after the international break from the players of both teams.

Does that guarantee? It is not entirely true because even though Flick finally has experience in the German league even at Bayern, it does not mean that he can make this an advantage against Bayern because what can be seen at this time is that they excel only because they play at home the rest cannot be said to be special.
It is undeniable that there is little hope when Flick is at Barcelona and faces Bayern, which is not a new club he knows because he has been there for a long time but that does not mean this makes them stronger because in the end the situation is not much different from the previous era where the 90-minute game will determine whether Barcelona can change their fate or will return to the same as before where they are helpless when facing Bayern in the match later.


The change of coach and players is actually not too striking for both players because in previous meetings in the Xavi and Tuchel era there were only a few additions such as Dani Olmo for Barcelona or Olise for Bayern, the rest has not changed in terms of players although maybe in terms of the scheme will be the difference in this match because both clubs have new coaches and certainly the scheme will be a little different in the match later.
But in the end everything remains difficult to guess and speaking of both teams scoring I think it can still be done even though it is undeniable that in the last few matches in the previous era Barcelona could not do that maybe in the Flick era with a fairly good goal productivity so far this might be the difference.

Looking at their success last season in reaching the final, of course it is true that Dortmund has great potential to advance to the final again, but I think for now it is clear that it looks a bit difficult because however Dortmund inconsistency this season I think is quite severe, if Dortmund is still coached by Edin Terzic, of course Dortmund has a chance to surprise us again,  But I think we all know that Nuri Sahin is not a coach who has better skills than Edin Terzic in facing big matches so far, indeed Dortmund is still undefeated in the UCL but we can see that the opponent they are facing is not a strong team, so indeed facing Madrid it is likely that they will get their first defeat later.

The two teams this season do look different. but what is most striking is that Barcelona has a different style of play and strategy from the previous season thanks to their new coach who I think is quite extraordinary, namely Hansi Flick. No one expected that Barcelona would get better under Hansi Flick's coaching. But now we have seen the results, namely how Barcelona is performing under Hansi Flick's coaching. which makes Barcelona a team that works well together and makes this team even very productive this season.

Bayern, who have parted ways with Thomas Tuchel, have also achieved positive results with their new coach, Vincent Kompany. But in the last two matches played by Bayern in the Bundesliga, we can see that Bayern could only get 2 draws in the last 2 matches in the Bundesliga. This makes me start to think that Barcelona will indeed be very favored this time in the upcoming UCL match against Bayern. Apart from the position as host, I also see another advantage of Barcelona, ​​namely because Barcelona almost always wins in Laliga. Barcelona only lost one of 9 matches in Laliga and the rest they won 8 times. Apart from that, Barcelona's defense also looks very trustworthy. But I'm still confused between choosing to favor Barcelona or a draw.

I saw Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga. In comparison, Dortmund's performance seems to me to be quite weak. The Dortmund team is in seventh place in the Bundesliga table. The more important thing is that the Dortmund team conceded 11 goals in 6 matches and managed to score 12 goals. On the other hand, Dortmund scored 10 goals and conceded only one goal in 2 matches in the Champions League. From this it can be understood that Dortmund's main goal is to do well in the Champions League. The Dortmund coach is not very interested in the Bundesliga. So there is no doubt that Dortmund will try hard to win against Real Madrid.



I agree with you. Barcelona are now fully prepared to face Munich. There is no doubt that Bayern Munich is a strong team. We have seen poor performances from Bayern Munich in the last three matches. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, are in good form. Many are considering Barcelona as the favorite in this match because the coach of Barcelona at the moment is Hansi Flick. I would also say that Barcelona has a slightly higher chance of winning this match. I consider Barcelona as favorite in this match.

Dortmund can still go all the way again to the finals and maybe they can win it this time after failing to win it the last time. Real Madrid mightn't make it to the finals, they don't have a strong team, the have strong players individually but together as a team, they're not united and this is going to cause them to not win games that they would have won if they had unity among eachother. Dortmund can win that game but it isn't going to be easy for them to win. Real Madrid have always won Dortmund when they play and in the last 5 games, Real Madrid have won 3 and draw 2. Dortmund will be coming for a payback and they'll want to win the game therefore the game will be interesting to watch.

It is true that Real Madrid has good squad depth and also in Real Madrid there are many star players which will definitely make Real Madrid the favorite in the next match and I personally also have hunch that Real Madrid will definitely be able to make Dortmund lose in that match.

Yes, it's true that Dortmund played impressively last season and of course we can't underestimate Dortmund in the next match and they were runners up last season and of course even though they were runners up but of course that is an extraordinary thing because of course in my opinion they won 2nd place. UCL is certainly a valuable and extraordinary achievement. and what I remember at that time was that Dortmund played well which prevented Real Madrid from scoring in the first half. But of course Carvajal scored a goal in that match for Real Madrid and was followed by another goal scored by Vinicius which ultimately made Dortmund really have to swallow the bitter pill. So of course it is true that Dortmund has good strength and currently Dortmund still sits at the top of the UCL standings and of course Real Madrid currently sits in 17th place in the standings.

So yes, what you say is true because of course it is possible that Dortmund will give a surprise in the next match. Yes, it is true that the match between Bayern and Barcelona is very easy to predict and I also want to bet on Barcelona winning in that match. Yes, if you look at Real Madrid's last match against LOSC it will certainly make many people confused about who will win in the next match when Real Madrid plays Dortmund. Yes, in betting we have to think carefully so as not to lose when betting because it is not easy to predict the Dortmund match against Real Madrid. Yes, but Real Madrid being the host will certainly make Real Madrid's mentality stronger and of course that makes me want to bet on that match for Real Madrid to win. and I am also sure that Ancelotti will definitely learn from Real Madrid's defeat against LOSC and this match will definitely be fierce and tense.

In fact the match Barcelona and Bayern Munich became the top of the match that was often talked about lately, some saw from the past and Bayern Munich who controlled the victory over Barcelona in their meeting, the match at Camp nou might really have a big influence on Barcelona to be able to Winning the Minister of Education but the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium is also a field in the Barcelona area, I think they can still dominate because of course they are not just once or twice the match and even training there.

Barcelona is currently below the other European teams in my opinion, they can give a lot and players like Yamal can make the difference but we need to see how the coach decides to let them play, it's a very difficult thing to understand due to all the players available

The Madrid vs Dortmund match is a revenge mission for the visiting team. They have developed quite well and the start of the season being able to lead the standings has proven that they are ready to repeat last season final. There is a big enough ambition so that Madrid must be vigilant, what I see is that Dortmund prioritizes the Champions League over the Bundesliga. Just look at what Dortmund did in 7th position it was very unenthusiastic at all.
Barcelona is now certainly ready to face Bayern Munich, regardless of the trauma of defeat in the past, it has nothing to do with the current players. Hansi Flick and the Barcelona players can overcome Kompany troops, I am sure the performance of both teams will be in equal condition.

Today they are different, they are the same in the new age. It's too hard to guess the end result. They have a new coach and a new style of play. But if tomorrow they will play in Cmap Nou then I think Barcelona will win. Of course, the supporter and host factors are slightly beneficial to Barcelona. These two teams are still the same in the playoff position, they have lost 1 time. But it's an interesting game, I don't think there will be a record of as many goals as a few years ago.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona are doing well in their respective leagues, and they almost have the same playing pattern, and I think this will make it difficult for gamblers to predict the club that will possibly win this match. I know Bayern Munich had beat Barcelona on several occasions in the past with so many goals difference, but if I am to place a bet in the match, I will place my money on Barcelona to beat Bayern Munich at Camp Nou because I don't see Bayern Munich traveling to Camp Nou to beat Barcelona since they failed to win Aston Villa, who lacks Uefa Champions League experience.

The Dortmund team is strong. This team has the ability to win against big teams. However, Dortmund's performance this season is somewhat erratic. Dortmund is currently in the seventh position in the points table in the Bundesliga. But the interesting thing is that the top spot in the table is still occupied by Dortmund due to the victory in both the Champions League matches. We saw good performances from Dortmund players in both the Champions League matches.

Dortmund will certainly be looking to retain the top spot in the Champions League. On the other hand, although Real Madrid won the first match of the Champions League, the Real Madrid team was defeated against Lille in the second match. So the match against Dortmund is very important for Madrid at the moment. Madrid will definitely try their best to win the match.

Real Madrid won both of their Champions League matches against Dortmund last season. This season too, I would say that Real Madrid has the best chance of winning. But Dortmund have the ability to beat Madrid. It will not happen that Madrid will easily win the match.

The upcoming UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich will give both teams a tough test as neither team is weak. Barcelona team's current performance is encouraging, Barcelona might enjoy their home field advantage in this match. Since 2020, Barcelona have lost all of their UEFA Champions League matches against Bayern Munich. I still remember that Barcelona faced Bayern Munich in a 2020 UEFA Champions League match. That match Bayern Munich beat Barcelona with a huge margin of 8-2 may be that match was very painful for Barcelona fans. But the interesting thing is that at that time Lewandowski was in the Bayern Munich team even he played an important role in the victory of Munich by scoring a goal and now he will fight against the same team for Barcelona.

Real Madrid has many advantages over Dortmund. Both in terms of player quality and squad depth. It's just that Dortmund surprised us all last season because they managed to reach the final last season, so this season we also can't underestimate them. And their good record this season is also a consideration that Dortmund might surprise us in the match against Real Madrid. But Real Madrid apart from having an advantage in terms of squad depth, we know that in this match Real Madrid will also have an advantage or home advantage.

To be honest, I'm really not sure about the outcome of this fight. In Barcelona's match against Bayern, maybe I can still favor the home team, namely Barcelona. But the Real Madrid vs Dortmund match, which should have been an easy match, has now become a match that will be difficult to predict because Dortmund's record looks very good last season and at the start of this season in the UCL. I never underestimate Real Madrid but their defeat in the previous match by Lille really makes me have to be more careful when I want to bet on Real Madrid.
