It is becoming evidently obvious that Manchester City is having a bad season. This season happened to be the worst for them under Pep Guardiola and I am not so certain yet if Guardiola will be able to turn around the bad results of this season and still go home with trophies or titles. In the English Premier League Manchester City nearly turned a laughing stock but now in the Champions League they have replicated same behavior where they are struggling with Juventus in the 19th and 20th position of the Champions League table respectively. If I were Guardiola I would just make sure I do not go empty handed this season. Even if I could not win the best of the trophies but I should still be in the competitive arena

They're already a laughing stock IMO. There is a popular trend that says: every Manchester city supporter will start returning to their main clubs due to City's recent decline in performance. If they fail to do the needful tonight, then they might need to start preparing for two other titles in their league. Truth is, we all know the problem they are having. Rodri's absence is a blow, and will continue to hunt them even if they manage to win few games.

I can't really Predict the Manchester city game, but what surprises me is the fact that Juventus has lost just one game this season, and that was even a 1nil lost. They've been having both draws and wins. So if Manchester city wants to take all 3 points Tonight in Italy, then they need to play at a very top level, far more than they've been playing.

While still on the discussion, the worst nightmare for Manchester City is gradually becoming a reality as Juventus is currently leading Manchester City with one goal and the match is almost 60 minutes spent. Should Manchester City go home without a point in tonight's match they would definitely be occupying around 22nd position, while Juventus will leave them and ascend to 14th position in the table. This is purely a fight to finish for Manchester City and they have no excuses to concede today Italian giants.

Sorry to say this, sometimes I feel that Guardiola is the problem now in Manchester City with some of his foreign formations. We know that he has some injury blows but why must he play both Greallish and the Doku in the same match when he has an option of Foden and Savinho.

Juventus will be playing hosts to Man City at the Allianz stadium tonight and honestly I'm curious to see what Pep Guardiola's side will whip out tonight. Thiago Motta's side have been known for their ability to draw games and haven't been spectacular in the champions league and would be hoping to get something too from Man City being that the English side have not been on their best lately so it's enough to conclude that the game will be very tough and with the two sides on 8 points apiece, they will do their possible best to one up the other.
I predict a first half goalless draw and GG full time in this game but I might be wrong and there might be lots of goals in the first half.

You are correct; the Juventus vs Manchester City match ended in a goalless draw in the first half, but I am not sure if they will play GG full time because Juventus is finding it difficult to break through Manchester City's midfield, which is making their counterattack not to work perfectly well. With what Manchester City has shown in the first half against Juventus, if they maintain such performance in the second half, I believe Manchester City will find the back of the net against Juventus in the second half, and if not for that Haaland missed a clear chance in the first half, Manchester City would have been leading Juventus by one goal.

Juventus vs City will be the game with most player missing of the day.
Both teams will miss around 10 players each.

What a crazy outcome still, city should win easly

Under normal circumstances, Man City would definitely be very favorites in the match against Juventus. but at the moment it is very difficult to determine which team can be the favorite. Because Man City this season is not as good as last season. Currently the score is still 0-0 and the match is still in the 34th minute. And yes, both teams still haven't done much aggressive action in this match. both teams seemed cautious. But as you can see, Man City is not as aggressive as usual. In fact, I see that the hosts are likely to win this match. Juventus could have scored a goal through their counterattack. But yeah, let's just see the results.

I disagree with you or are you underrating Juventus? Juventus is not kid when it comes to the UEFA Champions league or it could be that you just started watching football newly if not you wouldn't say that Manchester City is favorite to win the Old ladies under normal circumstances Juventus use to be hot back then but something has changed for them now they are no longer been called unlike before in the series A as they has lost that glory so at the moment both team are currently not in a better form though Manchester City started well at the beginning of the season suddenly injuries came and they lost their place along the line but Manchester City would have still been the favorite if not they lost form but Juventus has not been showing more effort in times of been consistent unlike when Seria A use to be Seria A.

And if you also look at their head to head you will see that Juventus has more win against Manchester City so don't use that word under normal circumstances that Manchester City will just win Juventus. In their last 5 meeting Manchester City has not won any game against Juventus is either Juventus win them or they end up playing draw.

I was disturbed at the beginning of this game seeing that Arsenal is suffering too many injuries at the moment and typically in this game they have got a hand full of key players absent but to my surprise they are already taking the lead in the first half and looking like they have got the chance to win this game if the eventually gets to maintain this lead till the end of the second half which I'm optimistic about. Juventus Manchester City is a game I don't want to delv Into because both teams have got too many uncertainties around upon which I cannot take a stands for predictions.

The moment I saw Arsenal lineup, I was discouraged and I didn’t watch the game because the injury list is massive; almost all Arsenal full backs are injured both left and the right back, and Arsenal goal scoring defender is also injured; and seeing how Monaco is playing really well in the Champions League, I never expected Arsenal to finish the first half without conceding any goal, but Kiwior is now confident in his position, and Thomas Partey is also good in the right back position which is why the panic is not much.

However, we never can tell if Arsenal can end up winning the match because of the pressure Monaco wingers will keep mounting, but since Odegard, Saka, and Matinelli are all active, then there will be creativity in the front and more goals can come.

It looks like Arsenal will win the match against Monaco. Even though we are currently still in the first round. But as can be seen Arsenal have a superior statistical record and now the score has also changed to 1-0. Bukayo Saka managed to score 1 goal against Monaco and put Arsenal ahead 1-0 for a while. Well, now we are still in the first half and Monaco still has a chance to get a goal back. But I think one of my favorite teams, namely Arsenal, will really win and won't let Monaco score a goal back. Unfortunately I didn't watch this match. Because for now I am more focused on the Juventus vs Man City match. At first it was quite boring but now the tension of the game is getting higher. And I think in the second half maybe we will start to see goals scored for the Juventus vs Man City match.

Arsenal has more than enough players to play this game and win it. Ben White is undergoing surgery while Gabriel has a slight injury and will be available these are the two important players i know that their absence has been heart felt. Even if Arsenal has managed to score a goal int the first half they shouldn't be reluctant. I am watching the game live in which i am seeing a lot of missed goal opportunities from Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus, Martinelli and Odegard has missed 4 good opportunities.

Good things Saka doesn't miss. The commentator said it after he scored. And it is true, you really see Saka missed a huge goal opportunity. At tis goal drought every opportunity should be converted.

Manchester City’s poor performance is indeed obvious, the team is struggling seriously and Pep Guardiola is doing his best to make things work for the team, but as it stands now, they can’t avoid some of the defeats they are getting currently because almost all teams are well prepared this season.

On Champions League aspect, Manchester City’s hope of making it to the next phase of the competition will depend on the outcome of this match, they have to win Juventus by all means to have a massive advantage in the group which will be very hectic because Juventus on the other hand have same problem with Manchester City, all they are after is just to make it to the round of 16 for now before thinking of how to win the trophy.

To be honest, I expected a score of at least 3-0 since these teams are obviously of different classes and Atletico played at home. But still, a win is a win and now Atletico's winning streak has reached 10. Simeone has managed to improve things in a team that was extremely unconvincing at the start of the season.

Atletico Madrid scored again in the second half, Griezmann scored another goal in minute 57'. Atletico Madrid successfully won the match with 3 goals. Although they got 1 conceded goal in minute 51', I think Atletico Madrid has done great performance today.

It is UCL match, we shouldn't underestimate Slovan Bratislava although they come from a different level league. Even if this team is in the bottom of the table, they still can steal points in any match. It is good that Atletico Madrid played with serious effort, they are playing with their main lineup. Well, I agree that Atletico Madrid showed nice improvement recently. Simeone has changed a lot the mentality of the players, they also can play with a more effective tactic now.

Dortmund 0-0 Barcelona

Barcelona strength is similar to that of Dortmund as none of them was able to break the deadlock in the first half. Both teams lost some good opportunities that they failed to convert to a goal. Yamal made some good passes but Raphina missed the last strike.

On the other hand, Manchester City played goalless against Juventus. It seems that City hasn't improved that much as we thought.

I don't pay much attention to Champions League standing now, I will like to see those who qualify for the next round of 16 and who makes it out of the play off, by the time the rest are been kick out of the cycle, that's when the Champions League get more interesting and you will be clearly seeing the teams that are doing well and the teams that were just lucky to be where they are because of the grouping, some teams do have luck to make it out quickly due to the same group.

Actually, the group stage matches are just so confusing looking at the league standings due to the long table to accommodate the positions of each teams but as soon as they move to the next stages, the Champions league will now become more interesting because it will look more like survival of the fittest and only then we can identify stronger teams and be able to share views on how we feel about the Champions league teams. The Champions league settings this season has really made some teams that feels superior during group stage matches to humble themselves because some them get lucky to be merged in same groups with some mediocre teams and they take advantage of those teams and outshines them but in this current arrangement, it is difficult to make it to the top list due to the fact that each teams faces stronger opponents.

Atletico Madrid is having a wonderful time playing against the low classed ŠK Slovan Bratislava.This Slovak side is the number one in the Super Liga but they are no match to a top Spanish side like Atletico. Antoine Griezmann is having the best time of his career this period. He scored a brace on Sunday when they met Sevilla. The visitors have just got a shot and none was on target and the host has more shots on target and are dominating the game.

From the beginning I knew Slovan were no match to Atletico Madrid in this game, considering their poor performance in there past 2 Champion league games with "Dinamo Zagreb and AC Milan", despite taking the lead at their Slovakia Super Liga. And as such, the game just ended with 3 goals to 1 in favour of Atletico Madrid (i.e Over 3.5).
However, another strong game I'm looking forward to watch this evening is that of Dortmund vs Barcelona, as that game will determine who to emerge the second place after Liverpool that is currently taking the lead on the table. Since both clubs has 13 points each.

Atletico Madrid really their best in this match. They won the game with three goals, although even before the start of the game, I knew Athletico Madrid would win the match because recently Athletico Madrid has been doing good in their games. While their opponent Slovan SK is not in good form, and given that the Champions League is also a tough competition, Atlético Madrid won’t want to lose to this team.

Barcelona and Dortmund have already started; in infact they have played their first half, and still none of them have scored goals in this game. I’m supporting Barcelona to secure the points tonight, but I won’t decide right now till they finish with the second half. I want to wait for the result so my prediction won’t go wrong.

Atletico Madrid walked in the park against Slovan Bratislava. It was such an easy win for them that they didnt have any troubles against such a weak team. They got an important win and without much effort. Dortmund and Barcelona is such a dead match without any goals and i expected on that match to see the most goals.

Don't forget that when it comes to UCL Dortmund is stronger than playing in Bundesliga. Dortmund reached the finals last season and I also expect to see some surprises from them today. Barcelona is very strong no doubt but let them be careful on the pitch and make good use of their chances. Yamal will help his club as usual.

I don't really think teams position in leagues really matters, if a team has good performance and are very strong, it doesn't matter they are good in Bundesliga and wack in Champions League, if they are strong and have good tactics of winning they will be in good place in both the tournament and perhaps other ones if indeed they are very good for that season. It's only when a team isn't that great for that season they kind of looks good in one and bad in the other one.

I don't pay much attention to Champions League standing now, I will like to see those who qualify for the next round of 16 and who makes it out of the play off, by the time the rest are been kick out of the cycle, that's when the Champions League get more interesting and you will be clearly seeing the teams that are doing well and the teams that were just lucky to be where they are because of the grouping, some teams do have luck to make it out quickly due to the same group.

The game ended with Atletico winning by three goals and SK Slovan were able to secure a goal, as a visiting team who's not experienced enough that was a very good attempt from them against a team with such caliber, with some other average team Atletico would have even maintained a clean sheet by the end of the game but Sk Slovan fought hard with the best of their abilities which for me I'm commending but then a big congrats to Atletico on their deserving victory.

No doubt SK Slovan tried their best as a new team in the league, and we all know if not for that penalty, they will not be able to get a single goal in the game. Atletico Madrid has played a very stunning performance today, even though we all know that they will be the winners of the game, which they end up proving us right for them to win the game. Although it has been said that no matter the effort you put into your work, if you still have a poor result, no one will appreciate you; that is why you must aim for the win. Meanwhile, despite all the efforts put in by SK Slovan, they still have to accept the defeat to Atlético Madrid. So their best is not recognised.

Atletico Madrid is way better than Bratislava and scoring many goals was expected, without mentioning that their victory was obvious. Indeed, Atletico Madrid improved comparing to the beginning when I heard rumours about Simeone quitting the team but nothing happened for this legendary coach for ATM of course.
The other games started half hour ago and I assume all eyes on Juventus - Manchester City and Dortmund - Barcelona ones Wink

Thiago Motta's side have been known for their ability to draw games and haven't been spectacular in the champions league and would be hoping to get something too from Man City being that the English side have not been on their best lately so it's enough to conclude that the game will be very tough and with the two sides on 8 points apiece, they will do their possible best to one up the other.
I predict a first half goalless draw and GG full time in this game but I might be wrong and there might be lots of goals in the first half.

Juventus is playing well, but the game versus Manchester City is unexpected; yet, in terms of performance, Manchester City may have more experience this time. However, Manchester City has been performing poorly in the Premier League and Champions League due to injuries to some of its players. Let's see if Guadiola can get three points against Juventus tonight, but it will be difficult because they are playing at home, and they will not want to lose at home and give Guadiola three points. Let's see how the game ends. Barcelona plays Dortmund tonight, which will also be a difficult game. Because both of them are in a superior state in the ucl and let see how the game will be and see who will get three point. Am just seeing that the game can probably end in a draw or Barcelona defeat Dortmund in my opinion because Barcelona are good in the ucl and the league this season and Dortmund are just performing great in the ucl more the league this season.

In today's match I can't really say this is the team that will be the favorite team to win the match because both teams performances is not stable, and with that the both teams performances seem to be in same leave because even in their domestic league they are no really playing well. but the way I am viewing the match Manchester City may win the match but let see what will happen as juventus also need this match, and with this, the match will be a very tough match and both team need the points and as for Dortmund against Barcelona the favorite team to win the match is Barcelona from my own points of view.
