Most comments and discussions on this thread in recent times has been channelled at the UCLA kick off fixtures which is between city and inter Milan but I want to look at other fixtures they will take place almost immediately after the kickoff fixtures between city and inter.

I would love we make some discussion and get contributions from others in this respect,  from my perspective I will look at the Arsenal and Atlanta fixture, I mean the Europa winners having to take on the premier league runner up from last season. It's looking like a game that should be of high anticipation because two brilliant team are involved, another to briefly talk about would be between feyenoord and Leverkusen because these two are another sets of champions just like the later, Leverkusen had their domestic league title and feyenoord was a runner up so interesting games ahead here, what are your taughts mates?.

As a team, Manchester City are playing very good and with an individual beast mode of their main striker, Haaland, Manchester City are creating massive fear in Premier League, that they will be able to destroy the league in one more season. A summer without participation in Euro 2024 seems to be helpful for Haaland to recharge energy and upgrade himself.

Arsenal and Arteta already shown their strength, ambition but at the same time their weakness in several early matches of Premier League 2024 - 2025 season. So far, with performances of Manchester City and Arsenal, it's fair to say Manchester City are still above Arsenal in quality, stability and competitiveness in this season. Arsenal and Arteta actually have a mountain to climb, to beat Manchester City and take the crown from this beast competitor.

The Champions League Competition Kicks Off In The Next Few Days. What are your predictions and thoughts for the above games. Whenever making predictions, do not forget to pay close attention to Injured and absent players from the squad.... These are the couple few I've got in mind;
Tough call between Atletico Madrid and Leipzig, game should end as a draw. Atalanta against Arsenal also would be interesting, we'll get to see Ademola Lookman, showcase what he's gott, he has been brilliant for them lately. I'm banking on gunners to either win or draw the game. Monaco might also be inna good form but Barcelona in the Champions League Competition? You don't even want to debate it. Hansi Flick would want to wrap things up immediately.
Paris winning again Girona
Both sides to score against themselves between Manchester City and Inter Milan. I won't be boggled.
Ac Milan should definitely get a win, I want to see Liverpool being hammered so hard by  Ac Milan. Already. Lol..

Of course we won't know which English or Italian league is stronger this season, but to be honest, I personally also think the same as you, that is, I also predict that the English League will be above the quality of the Italian League this season and it is natural for bookies to predict that Manchester City will have the potential. great victory. and it seems like I personally also want to bet on Manchester City winning in that match.

Of course, there are only a few days left until we will see the match and of course it will be very exciting because Inter Milan is of course a strong team in the Italian League and it will certainly not be easy for Pep Guardiola's troops to beat Inter Milan. but it's possible that a draw will happen, but I predict that the result of the match will be that Manchester City will have a big potential to win because I see that Manchester City's current performance is better than Inter Milan.

It is true that predicting who will win and who will lose in the Champions League is certainly very difficult, especially because it is at the start of the season and what is certain is that the UCL is a gathering place for strong teams which will certainly make it difficult for us to predict. and it's definitely not as easy as when we predict in the Domestic League. but yes, sometimes I also always rely on my gut feeling. but yes, hopefully when we bet we win.

Manchester City started this year well, their Premier League performance is quite good. So far they have managed to progress without losing points. The team looks very fit and I think we can see this success in the Champions League matches as well. Inter were a little unlucky in their match yesterday, they were able to draw thanks to the goal they scored in the last minutes. If they play like this, Manchester City will win the match

Manchester City is still a fairly strong team this season and for the front line owned by Inter Milan, I think it is not a serious problem for Manchester City because Manchester City itself also has a very deadly front line this season so that the level of their fierce match could occur in their first match in the Champions League this season. Thuran and Lautaro Martinez are indeed good players, but they also need mature supplies from their colleagues in the midfield and also the back line, because if Inter Milan is unable to create the best passes for their front line players in the match against Manchester City, it is very possible that Inter Milan could lose in the match.

Liverpool defeat was more than just preparing for the champions league because their key players were on the pitch not on bench. So many errors from on play resulted to their defeat at Anfield. Salah as their key player in most cases was responsible for their greatness and downfall at the same time. They could have won that game if he wasn't selfish and stingy with passes.

On a two clear occasions, they will score if he had passed to his teammates instead of aiming for the goal. The couch too made his mistakes with substitution but I don't blame him too much since Liverpool lack squad depth. Salah, Trent and Szobo could have been subbed out but unfortunately there was no one to replace them. I forseen it from their first half performance hoping to see game change in the second half but nothing change. Let see what happens tomorrow when they face AC Milan.

Personally, I would hardly want to pick the game between Manchester City VS Inter in my selection, both teams are up to standard despite City having more initials to lead the game but I sense an intense game which the results might be highly unpredictable. Any option while placing a bet on this fixture, would be on a high note if the selection would be on a straight win choices because even the unexpected can happen with Inter winning at last. Merely, either Manchester City to win or a GG option on this game.

Maybe one of the reasons for Liverpool's defeat is that they wanted to prepare for the Champions League match. The Champions League is more important and Nottingham was an opponent they did not see as strong. They must have thought that they could beat them in any way and underestimated them. But you shouldn't do that. You should take every opponent seriously, both in the league and in the Champions League. This defeat could even cost Liverpool the championship at the end of the year.

PSV team has been in excellent form in the Eredivise league this season as well. PSV won all 5 matches. And in 5 matches PSV managed to score 20 goals, conceding only 3 goals. I know Eridivise league is not very competitive. The other teams here are also not that strong. Still, winning every match by a big margin was no easy task.

It is true that Juventus is a strong team. However, this season we are not seeing a better performance from Juventus. In particular, the performance of Juventus' attacking players has been as poor as last season. But the defense of this team is very strong. However, if the attacking players do not perform well, it may not be possible for Juventus to defeat PSV.

Yes, you're quite right. While PSV Eindhoven may be performing excellently in the Dutch Eredivisie, competing against Juventus is a different ball game altogether. They are, without a doubt, one of Italy's and Europe's top teams, with more resources in terms of talent and experience. Their defensive prowess certainly is a big plus, and playing at home in Allianz Stadium indeed gives them an edge. It's not impossible for PSV to pull off a victory, but the odds are certainly leaning towards Juventus. However, as you know, football can always surprise us.

Whatever it is that happened in that game, just like the Liverpool fans, their players may have underestimated Nottingham Forest. Generally, the loss came to  Liverpool as a surprise. However, it's not meant to be the foundation of judgement for their game against Ac Milan, I presume the Liverpool team will buckle up and play a better football. I wouldn't want to predict the outcome of such a competitive game, but from the previous performance of both teams it'll appear to end as a draw.

PSV will certainly create a lot of difficulties for the home team but I also believe Juventus will win. Juventus are a much tougher challenge than their opponents in the Netherlands. Juventus not only have a better squad but also have a home advantage. A 3-1 victory for the Italian representative is what I believe will happen. Under Motta, Juventus made an impressive start to the season, Juventus remain optimistic after keeping four clean sheets in a row. Their attack has not been in great form but they have proven that they are a really tough team to beat.

In terms of the squad, Juventus did not have many losses. Only Francis Conceicao and striker Milik were absent due to injury. Neither of them were their mainstays. PSV is without two key players, Fofana, and Hirving Lozano, and this is what the visitors need to worry about.

When it comes to the champions league, there are teams that considered as elites  teams and Juventus falls in that category. These teams play with experiences because they have played several knockout matches in the champions league and their home is considered as a sacred ground. Not many clubs can go there and get a win. PSV Eindhoven can do whatever they want or score 100 goals in 10 matches in their league but the champions league is a different competition. It's a straight win for Juventus in this particular match. Juventus has been absent in the champions league for a while now and they will want to mark their return to the league with a win in front of their home fans. The booksmaker are not wrong when they are favouring Juventus to win. PSV Eindhoven don't have that capacity to win Juventus. The old ladies will prevail over PSV Eindhoven.

Both teams actually have a good performance in their respective leagues at the moment, Juventus and PSV are quite consistent playing in the domestic league although indeed Juventus' journey in Serie A is not as perfect as PSV who continues to win in the Eredivisie, but we cannot judge the two teams today only based on their achievements in the league considering the comparison of quality and also competition in Serie A and also the Eredivisie which is very different at the moment, so indeed the level of performance of the two teams in playing in the Champions League will also be very different later, so far PSV is a team that is quite consistent in playing in European competitions but Juventus who has won the Champions League 2 times of course have a better mentality when playing in the Champions League, last season Juventus failed to play in the Champions League and I think this season they have certainly prepared the team as best as possible to be able to compete  in the championship, ths season is Motta first season in charge of Juventus so I think he will take advantage of every game available to win, my prediction is that Juventus will win with a score of 3-1 over PSV in the first match of the Champions League this season.

If you expect something to happen on the field, why not try betting on the underdog here, PSV has big odds because the bookies favor Juventus in this match, on the other hand, if you want to try your luck with the current analysis which is still very doubtful who has the greatest chance of winning between Juventus and PSV, I think betting on PSV is interesting. LOL

However, there will definitely be many people who have difficulty digesting this match if they use their own analysis of these two teams at the present time, even though Juventus has a good track record in the past but what is seen is today, so why not try.

Football is such a game. Although rare, such results can be encountered. In such cases, bettors who evaluate surprising results earn serious money. There are very few people in the world who do not bet on Liverpool or who bet against Liverpool. No one predicted that Nottingham Forest would win this match. Liverpool was shaken by such a defeat on their home field. This is why I love football, such surprising results, scores that make us love football.

I've noticed that bookies' odds do not disappoint my analysis anymore as the ones with a weak possibility of winning always have high odds and the ones with a high possibility of winning always have low odds. This should naturally tell anyone something and it's more reason why I agree with you here. Going by what we see in the English premier league, it is far better than the Italian league in comparison but we should not use that as the yardstick to judge but use the two clubs coming together to play to judge.

Owning to that, Man City is the champion of the EPL just like Inter Milan is the Champion of Serie A, but the quality of football the two play varies, Man City is "ferocious," and I don't see Inter Milan winning it but Man City scoring more than once. The present feat can be taken for granted even if I would want to avoid hyping the club, it's obvious.

PSV Eindhoven is currently occupying the first position in the Eredivisie. They have not lost any game and have gathered fifteen points from five games. Juventus are not also doing badly in the Italian Seria A. They are in third position with eight points. They have not conceded any goal, which shows that they have a good defence. However, we cannot compare the Dutch League with the Seria A, the latter is more difficult. Juventus are favourites in this game, but PSV is also a good side. I wouldn't place my bet on PSV because Juventus has a greater chance of winning, and playing at home in Allianz Stadium is also an advantage.
