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.

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.

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

• Club Brugge vs Aston Villa - Both teams are likely to score, as both are strong in attack.
  
• Shakhtar vs Young Boys - I recommend betting heavily on the home team (Shakhtar) to win.
  
• Bayern Munich vs SL Benfica - I'm placing a high stake on Bayern to win.
  
• Sparta Prague vs Stade Brestois - I'm backing Sparta Prague for a straight win.
  
• Inter Milan vs Arsenal - This will be a tough match, but I’m going for Inter Milan to win.
  
• Feyenoord vs Salzburg - Since Feyenoord is playing at home, I’m betting on the Dutch team to win.
  
• PSG vs Atletico - I expect both teams to score in this match.
  
• Red Star vs Barcelona - I predict over 3.5 goals in this match.
  
• VfB Stuttgart vs Atalanta - Both Stuttgart and Atalanta are in good form, so I’m going for a straight draw.

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.

As we often say, in football anything can happen. no exception for Madrid currently experiencing several matches with unsatisfactory results, there are many causes that are factors. I am quite sure that many lost in last night's match Madrid vs Milan, this is football with everything we can't predict. moreover Madrid seems to be experiencing a few obstacles, as I often say losing Kroos has a big impact on Los Blancos and Mbappe who has not been able to show his highest level, this is Don Carlo's job to fix the situation that occurs in his team. as a coach with a lot of experience, he knows very well where his shortcomings lie. however, it seems that Ancelotti has not found the ideal composition for his team to play at a high level. maybe this is just a matter of time for Madrid to get back on track, and it's time for them to correct from two defeats in two different competitions.

Btw, today another team from La Liga, Barcelona, ​​will play away to Crvena Zvezda's headquarters, they should be able to get points smoothly.

I want everyone to watch CL matches but unfortunately all the interesting matches have to be broadcast simultaneously.

But for me the fiercest match is Inter Milan vs Arsenal don't know how far they have met before, I don't remember about that so want to see this Big Match match.

For Munich I think they will win at home.

Not only Inter Milan vs Arsenal will be the match of the day , there are a few games that can be that one.
PSG against Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich at home against Benfica i would say are the most interesting.
Munich maybe will have some home advantage and this i guess will the win for them today.

But there are many interesting games , fingers crossed that the german teams win there games.

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.

Yes, Liverpool did perform very well, they consistently showed promising performance. Barcelona is also no less good at this time. Although their first match in the Champions League was not good, but they managed to close with good performance in the next 2 matches. and now the 4th match against Red Star should not be difficult for Barcelona. maybe they will also score some goals in the algae later. Red Star has never gotten a point in 3 matches, which is worse for them has conceded 11 goals and only scored 2 goals in 3 matches. the 4th match might change some situations in the current standings especially after strong teams like Leverkusen, Madrid, and Man City were defeated in this 4th match.

When I watched the Manchester City football without Rodri, I started to think that he deserved the Ballon d'Or prize. Manchester City haven't been just losing for 2 games. They have been playing badly too. I think that Guardiola will ask for transfers for the team in January.

You shouldn't just blame Mbappe for the two defeats that occurred, in the El Clasico match and the defeat against Milan in the Champions League. Because in reality, Mbappe is not as bad as you imagine, because in reality Mbappe also at least still has a good rating in the match against Milan. Also, Ancelotti really forced Mbappe to play in the middle, even though in reality Mbappe's position is on the left and not as a target man in the middle. Thus, Mbappe cannot play as well as Mbappe plays at PSG and in the French national team.

Honestly, I am also very confident for Real Madrid to win and with this defeat also makes my bet lost. But honestly, I will not blame Mbappe for Real Madrid's bad results so far, but I am only disappointed with Ancelotti who does not seem to apply the right tactics. Or maybe, the placement of players is also not right, so that players find it difficult to play well for Real Madrid.

But it is really surprising to see how quickly Madrid are fading away. The same Madrid team that were flying last season and everyone thought that they were unstoppable. I remembered when Ancelotti said that they don't need to make new signings that he has the best squad already. What changed in the Madrid team all of a sudden? Bellingham performance has really dropped after he came back from injury. The dude looks lost to me in the midfield or did Toni Kross retired with the Madrid success. Another thing is that what is Modric still doing in that Madrid team? The guy is fucking old and he is spoiling matches for Madrid yet Ancelotti keeps featuring him in matches. You can't have Modric in your midfield and expect to be winning matches. It's high time they relegate him to the bench permanently.

Bayern Munich is going to face Benfica today, we have seen in the previous matches that Bayern Munich did not play well in the UCL. Although Bayern Munich has performed very well in the Bundesliga and they are in the first position of the title-winning points table and they have played well there. But Bayern Munich has not been able to improve their performance much in the Champions League, we know that the Champions League is the biggest and busiest place where strong teams often struggle. Similarly, Bayern Munich is not able to present their best performance in the Champions League to the audience, due to which the team is currently at the bottom of the points table. Out of three matches, Bayern Munich has won only one match and lost two matches, so I cannot say for sure whether they will be able to win today's match.

This season, Liverpool and Barcelona are very enjoyable to watch, because they are playing very successful games against their opponents.
Liverpool beat Bayern Leverkusen 4-0 yesterday. Their preparations for the first goals were very good. The other goals came.
Liverpool's real game changer was in the second half, the teams could not establish a complete advantage over each other in the first half.

The bad results experienced by Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti are a decline in the Real Madrid camp, whatever the results, yes, like this, all supporters must accept the results of several very disappointing matches, but if Real Madrid's performance continues to decline, Carlo Ancelotti will be on the brink of being fired with the bad results obtained in several important matches, indeed no one can be blamed because the decline in performance is not so good, making Carlo Ancelotti have to rush quickly in dealing with this, because this could involve Carlo Ancelotti's career as head coach of Real Madrid.

Club Brugge vs Aston Villa

Club Brugge (predicted lineup): Simon Mignolet, Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordonez, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Hugo Vetlesen, Ardon Jashari, Hans Vanaken, Andreas Skov Olsen, Christos Tzolis, Romeo Vermant.

Aston Villa (predicted lineup): Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, John McGinn, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins.

This is the first match between this two teams, Aston Villa are really performing so well, they are still running unbeaten since the starting of this champions league season, if they can succeed in winning this match they will have complete points as Liverpool that are occupying the top currently. Among all the English teams that make it to this season champions league only Aston Villa impress me the most because throughout their journey to this place the really set a target for themselves and it all working for them, with their current form I don't see this game as a big deal for them despite the are travelling to Jan Breydelstadion, Club Brugge performance in this league have not been normal, they only secured a win and that isn't enough, let see if they can do better tonight.


Shakhtar Donetsk vs Young Boys

Shakhtar Donetsk (predicted lineup): Dmytro Riznyk, Yukhym Konoplia, Valeriy Bondar, Mykola Matviyenko, Pedro Henrique, Oleksandr Zubkov, Artem Bondarenko, Dmytro Kryskiv, Eguinaldo, Georgiy Sudakov, Danylo Sikan.

Young Boys (predicted lineup): David von Ballmoos, Lewin Blum, Sandro Lauper, Loris Benito, Zachary Athekame, Filip Ugrinic, Lukasz Lakomy, Alan Virginius, Kastriot Imeri, Joel Monteiro, Silvere Ganvoula.


Shakhtar Donetsk and Young Boys are set to begin their fourth round of champions league and the both are still struggling to survive but Shakhtar Donetsk who are the host are actually doing better than the opponent because they are able to maintain three consecutive wins in their own home league, with that they stand a clear chance to win due to the current performance of Young Boys who haven't win or score in their last four away matches and I don't know what this will born.
