Benfica is up against Dinamo, and they will probably end up qualifying for group stage
Crvena Zvezda is also in the lead in Israel, and it should be enough for them to qualify as well, Maccabi scored for an early lead, but things are going back to normal at the moment, and Zvezda is controlling the match

After the first half, Benfica is winning by 2 to 0.
Despite Dinamo Kiev's good effort, Benfica has been on top in general. Will the Dinamo coach make changes, which allow Benfica's dominance to be reversed? We'll see how the second part goes.

The only thing i can think when i see Qarabag its remember the mega effort they do in the only group stage they went in.

A death group with Atl Madrid Chelsea and Roma, and they managed to draw the two matches agains Madrid, making atletico go to the Europa League (after that Atletico wins that tournament) but impressive performance by qarabag.

I went against Benfica actually, thought there was a bit of home value for Kyiv (and I hope they'll be playing with extra bit of pride with all the goings on, a slim win shouldn't be impossible) at just over 5/1. Nothing fancy, just everything on the line for the home team.

Too much room for draws today too, so no accas for me sir.

Yeah, there is good value for Dynamo win, and they have potential for it. And I would like to see them winning. But Benfica is looking very solid in the start of season.

I think i'm leaning towards Qarabag. They've a really solid squad, particularly good players up front. I believe i've already mentioned their center forward Wadji in this thread. They scored five goals against Lech and Zurich, and four against Ferencvaros. The first leg away from home will be extremely difficult for the Czechs. Qarabag took part in the UCL group stages a few years ago and will be eager to return and compete against the best teams in Europe, as they are only two matches away from achieving their goal. Give me Qarabag here.

Good point about Qarabag. They completely destroyed Lech, were leading against Ferencvaros 3:0 away. They have good chance because Plzen is similar level like Lech or Ferencvaros.

Qarabag started already as they still tie in the first half without any goal from both side. The game is a strong one as I expect a draw finally.
Benfica has a good start to the Champions League game's keeping a good defending structure with clean sheets of six to seven game's.
Vitality Dynamo's top stricker should be hoping to get a goal here as he has a good record in the champions league from last season.

3 remaining qualifying games will be played today. Qarabag - Plzen, Dynamo Kyiv - Benfica and Maccabi Haifa - Crvena Zvezda. Probably it makes most sense to back Benfica, they're quite significant favorites there. In Maccabi - Crvena zvezda game I'll go with BTTS or over 2.5. And have no idea about Qarabag - Plzen game.

UEFA Champions League The team leading the race for the trophy is PSG We all can see that PSG is currently performing very well Messi and Neymar's brilliant attacks and Hakimi's excellent assists from the midfield are terrifying for the opposition Currently, Neymar and Messi are in very good form. In the last few matches, Neymar has scored in every match In addition to scoring himself, Neymar also scored many goals with others. If neymar and messi can maintain their product then I believe PSG will win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Yes, PSG players are fully ready to make it happen for their favour in this season to ensure they make their fans happy again. Now that Messi and Neymar are agree to work together to achieve many goals from any competition in this season, showed that it will be difficult for any team to defeat PSG until they achieve the title to prove to the whole world that they still remain the strongest team in UEFA champions league competition. Now that PSG squads are ready to handle their position very well, it will create more rooms for Messi to demonstrate an excellent performance in PSG like the way he did in Barcelona some years ago.

So, seems that decision not to back Copenhagen was wrong. But it's difficult to trust them when they're so inconsistent this season. Trabzonspor still managed to score and it means that 2nd leg will be very interesting.
Rangers - PSV. Both teams managed by Dutch football legends van Bronckhorst and van Nistelrooy. And what a game it was. It's sad that one of these teams will be eliminated.
Bodo/Glimt 1:0 Dinamo Zagreb. Well, Bodo extremely rarely lose at home. But considering recent results of Bodo, maybe it's not bad that Dinamo conceded just 1 goal.

Neymar and Messi are playing very well in their positions. The performance of PSG's midfielders is quite good. However, we are not getting the expected performance from Mbappe. The team expects more from Mbappe. But he can't adapt himself to Messi and Neymar. On the other hand, how strong PSG's defense is can be understood after watching their performance against strong teams. It is very difficult to do well in the Champions League if the defense is not strong.

Hey Iranus, tomos81, I see you guys posting here and in other threads -- would you like to also join the Champions League prediction pool? Still a few weeks left once the playoffs are done and dusted, we'll have hopefully a large group of real forum gamblers playing for a prize pot of over 0.3 BTC (guaranteed sponsor money already in escrow).

Just trying to get new blood into the pools and would really like to see you guys come in and show the others your amazing prediction/analysis in my favourite football competition!

The Turkish Super League is quite away from their old strength. We are able to understand this by its not being able to send any team to the Champions League directly. However Trabzonspor managed to become the champions by showing a quite consistent and satisfying performance last year.I think that Trabzonspor won't lose away today at least and they will win this matchup in Turkey as well.

It remained on the agenda that Copenhagen supporters set off fireworks in front of the hotel that the Trabzonspor group were staying and they tried to disturb the players by doing it. I can say that Trabzonspor are the last team you would like to do this against. Plans have already started to be made for the rematch.

I'm torn between btts and btts/O2.5 on the Rangers vs. PSV match, the latter has better odds, but you never know, first legs are often cagey, with teams trying to figure each other out first.

Bodo/Glimt DNB @1.60 is my favorite bet of the day, the artificial turf and overall conditions in Norway should be enough of an advantage and besides they are not a bad team. Dinamo Zagreb weren't super convincing, at least imo, against both Ludogorets and Shkupi.

Today's game, Rangers vs PSV, should be the most interesting of the day.

Rangers reached this round after having beaten Union Saint-Gilloise, despite losing the first leg 2-0 and winning the second leg 3-0. That defeat was the only one of the season so far.
In the case of PSV, they beat Monaco in extra time, after two draws. This season PSV haven't lost a game yet: they have three wins and two draws.

So, today we will hear Champions League anthem for the first time this season. 3 play-off round games on Tuesday. Bodo/Glimt - Dinamo Zagreb, Rangers - PSV and Copenhagen - Trabzonspor. Things is getting difficult to predict. I'm thinking about BTTS in all games. First I thought about backing Copenhagen, but I checked that they had poor start in their league. Would be interesting to see some tips because this time I'm struggling to find something.

There goes my Monaco bye-bye. Rangers is the apt reward for PSV ticking off the French, so I will naturally support Rangers. Betting wise, didn't do anything fancy. Europa and Conference are plentiful though!

P.S. might retro delete posts when more free.

PM'd a few users I felt I would have deleted posts -- I'm afraid I'm a bit harsh when it comes to quality -- but softened and didn't. If it's really not a value added post or doesn't say much that's new, AND you didn't even reply me, then I feel you're just not making an effort to contribute

Yep. I had a good feeling with PSV that they will eliminate Monaco because PSV has been trying for 3 years to get into UCL groups and they finally have the squad that will most likely get them there. Monaco squad is on the end of the road for some players and this generation made a lot of great achievements during this period.

Also , great qualify for Kiev again as Lucescu really knows how to enter UCL groups with small teams that have been coaching in his career.

When you have a team that is "almost" there and does everything on their power to finally be in the groups, you arrange the team accordingly. Not just because you buy good players or anything, all teams always end up trying to do that.

What I mean is trying to build a team that would be perfect for tournament games, which is different from league, and also having practice and friendlies accordingly to be ready during early part of the season, right of the bat. That's a very important aspect of being in the UCL group stages, and I believe it will probably go a lot better in the long run as well if they get in, still hard thing to do if you ask me, but more possible this year.

agree, but pass against Benfica will be a miracle for Kyiv, not sure that they will be able to pull it through
probably the biggest pair in this stage, with Rangers and PSV

Dinamo and Bodo will be an interesting duel, Bodo is really strong at home in Europe, and could secure solid home win, Crvena Zvezda is a favorite against Maccabi, Qarabag made a mark against Ferencvaros, but Plzen will be hard to pass

and Copenhagen vs Trabzonspor is out of competence, since they are taking another route, Copenhagen should pass through
