What a freak goal from Wass

Valencia deserves this draw, a really good game overall.

Chelsea is winning with a 1-2 score In Spain.
Parejo lost a penalty as well which I think disencouraged Valencia 's players. If Chelsea wins they make a huge step to get the first place on the group.

One minute 47 seconds between two goals and Mateo is the man for Chelsea. His first goal in long time I guess.
After conceding the first goal they reacted very quickly. Unlucky me. I was about to place a bet @2.01 odd for Chelsea or draw but they suspended the market. All happened very quick. Now let's hope Chelsea wins.

1 - 1 half time and Tammy Abraham is not looking good. I hope he can continue in the 2nd half.

I was very impressed by how Mourinho responded when Tottenham fell behind 0-2. He immediately replaced Eric Dier with Eriksenn. And we all know how the game ends. Really a very brave and intelligent decision from a mourinho. I think Tottenham have promising prospects if the club can give great authority to Mourinho in managing the Spurs squad. It could be that they will repeat the achievements of last season by going to the final round

Chelsea was twice lucky and both time Gomez!
I can't believe how he missed those shots. At first time he could not even touch the ball and at 2nd time it was nowhere near the post where the distance from him and Chelsea keeper was few feets close only.

Let's say Chelsea is 2 - 0 down LOL
We are on 36th minutes.

I only watched first half and o boy! If we remove the first 12 minutes from first half, Real Madrid played the best football of the season for next 33 minutes + 3 added minutes. Hazard, Valverde, Kroos, Benzama all were on fire. You can't deny Hazard is at last back in his Chelsea form, although he isn't scoring goals. I went to sleep after first half and was quite sure RM will win this one but it was surprising to find in morning that match drew.



I don't suspect Liverpool but Barcelona's one won't be easy. Barcelona has shown its vulnerability in last few matches, especially in defence. Dortmund is no joke and we all know about Valverde's coaching crisis. But recently he is trying to improve his approach towards game. For example, giving strategic rest to Arthur in week-end Laliga game was a nice move. He will be fresh tonight and may act as a pivot in midfield. If Barcelona wants to win this one, I would like to see De Jong - Arthur - Rakitic in midfield where Vidal replacing Rakitic in second half. We all have to agree Busquets is no longer the player he used to be. Also everything has to pass through Messi, this is how Barca plays. No one in midfield knows Messi better than Rakitic so I would like to see him starting his first CL match of the season tonight.


Go for Barca vs Dortmund. It would be much more interesting.

Group F is actually still very interesting. Barcelona, Dortmund and Inter still have a chance to get to the next round. If today Barcelona can get a win then they will be even more relieved for the final UCL match.

Liverpool also certainly qualify for the next round, it's just that Naples and Liverpool are still fighting over to become group winners. I'm sure Liverpool can get 3 points today.

Some really good games to watch tonight, I can’t decide if I want to watch Liverpool vs Napoli or Barca vs Dortmund.

Maybe G. Buffon ? LOL ,
But K. Navas was good enough for PSG while, R. Madrid was just unlucky to maintain victory in when the match is almost over. I think Neymar presence at the start of the second half made PSG more enjoyable to watch. But thats not the problem, I am just unlucky because PSG failed to add goals to their win and my bet.

Lets wait for Liverpool and Barcelona to win their match today.

Did you win it? Too lazy to dig up LOL

There are nothing to get offended.
In my gambling habit I have lost countless multibets and most of them were really close.
Lost by 1 wrong selection.
It happened with even a 17 fold too. There were 16 correct picks and one wrong. Imagine how frustrating it was for me. Forget about so many picks, even in a double bet I find one losing team in my selection LOL

Edit:
Meanwhile Liverpool Junior team against Nepoli Juniors

Couldn't agree with you more. I've played a lot of football in my day and the event of scoring is such a vulnerable moment. You can see it time and again. Even goalies celebrate and managers and captains, and then the team conceding is in shock. At times, that shock jolts them into clarity - as Liverpool showed also on the weekend, scoring right after conceding the equaliser.

And I have been on both ends too as a player. Especially when scoring against expectations. That disbelief can be a dagger in your shin.

I loved the game overall. Definitely lived up to its billing and that's football I pay to watch! More tonight please!

Another day, another three team parlay, today at almost 11/1 odds (i'm playing it safe tonight, my acca yesterday was @13 lol):



@Pamoldar  I'd wish you good luck but I have Valencia ML and you have Chelsea, so  

No offense, hope I'm wrong so you can win but it seems there's a draw in one of those matches, Chelsea has been impressive away but after their last away result it seems any team with the right winning mentality and players to match that of the Chelsea's squad, the home team might stand a chance to get something out of that match. Group H among any other group is the most interesting since it isn't that easy to predict teams that'll make it out to the knockout stage.

Currently all 3 top clubs in the group are on 7 points with Ajax probably gaining the advantage after defeating Lille in this evening game meaning, neither Chelsea or Valencia would settle for a loss and most likely a draw might just be the end scoreline. (Just hope I'm wrong as winning will automatically give Chelsea an upper hand to qualifying).

Last night many did not like Manchester because a successful draw left the bettors disappointed because they were betting not to win.
But I am sure tonight it would be better to prepare your predictions for tonight so that your victory is perfect.

yes true its always to loss , This happened to me last night the city ruined my pleasure. Tonight I will try to go with your choice. I think tonight will be better than yesterday🤩🤪

I found my picks for tonight and folded them in a 4 fold parley:
Valencia vs Chelsea: Chelsea to win
Barcelona vs Dortmund: Barcelona to win
Lille vs Ajax: Ajax to win. They are always exciting for me.
Liverpool vs Napoli: Liverpool to win. Do I have any choice? 😝


@7.79 seems really juicy!

I know I am always close in parleys and then lose but today I think I will win LOL

I look forward to tonight with the 3 matches that I want to see on TV.

Liverpool vs Napoli (2-1)
Bacelona vs Dortmund (2-1)
Slavia vs Inter Milan (0-2)

From that prediction I am sure there will be a victory for me in betting.

Wow, yesterday was quite interesting. Seeing Tottenham coming back from 2 goals to win the game 4-2 was a beauty. I could bet that nobody saw that one coming.

Here are my predictions for today's UCL games (I plan on placing them in am accumulator bet later today)

Liverpool vs Napoli –  Home Win.
Genk vs Salzburg – draw or Salzburg
Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund – Barcelona on this one
Slavia Prague vs Inter – Away win. (Needs to close in)
Zenit St. Petersburg vs Lyon – Home or draw.
RasenBallsport Leipzig vs Benfica – Home win
Valencia    Vs   Chelsea – Away or draw
Lille   vs Ajax – Ajax win.

Let's look forward to an interesting evening in the UCL!

Yup, today's Group F match will be interesting. If Barcelona can beat Dortmund at Camp Nou they will qualify for the next round. and for Inter Milan they must win today's match to catch up with Dortmund points. If Dortmund can win against Barcelona, Matchday 6 will be very interesting for this group

Maybe the concentration of Real Madrid players is a mess that cannot be defended by victory, and PSG is not a weak opponent either. He is a tough team with many of the same reliable players as Real Madrid.
