Not long now till kick off. But yeah lets be realistic City are the favourites and will be a class above them. Simones team does play good counterattacking football, which must be the game plan tonight. And with 8 important games upcoming for city, i think this will set the tone for the remainder of the season. Plus if they dominate athletico it will just be another kick in the teeth against United. Not gonna watch the Liverpool game, but i think that will be much more exciting, i expect a draw if salah and Mane dont produce something special
I agree that the Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid match is much more exciting than Benfica vs Liverpool. Manchester City and Liverpool are favorites to win today and I didn't expect to see a surprise in the first leg.

I hope Manchester City can beat Atletico Madrid by more than 2 goals today which will probably make them safer in the second leg. The victory was possible today considering that Manchester City are very ambitious to lift the Champions League trophy this season.

My prediction for this match:
  • 3-1 to win for Manchester City
  • 0-3 to Liverpool win

The rivalry between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid promises to be interesting. According to the bookmakers, the English team is the definite favorite for promotion, but I would not underestimate Atletico. Ok, Simeone's team may not play great football, but they can be extremely effective. Today, they will definitely be defensive to ensure that they have a result that allows them to think about a promotion in the rematch. I bet less than 2.5 goals.
Actually Manchester city vs Atlético Madrid match will be an interesting match, this Because Manchester city are really on serious form, and they are the leaders in English premier league, I am sure they will win the match. Although Atlatico Madrid are a very strong opponent and they also have Champions League experience, so the match will be a tough one but Manchester city will win.
Manchester City's chance to win is very large when viewed in terms of players who have Manchester City, which has a better composition of players than Atletico and also Man City's consistency is very good in the last few matches. and also this 1st leg will be played at home to Manchester City I think Man City will be able to win this match even with a narrow score.

If we compare the players of both the teams then Manchester City can be said to be strong without any hesitation. Moreover, since this is City's home match, City can be considered as a favorite. But we can't call an experienced team like Atletico Madrid weak. Their squad is good enough. They have talented players like Suarez and Griezmann. So it will not be easy for Manchester City to win the match.

Manchester City have scored 2+ goals in 10 out of the last 11 home champions league matches, will they be able to continue their scoring run against the defensive athletico Madrid, that's a big task ahead of them, Pep and Simeone meeting is always fun to watch, I will want Manchester City to qualify, over 1.5 goals will be a good bet here
Total over 1.5 in a match, or individual total City? If you bet on the total of the match, then there will be a very small odds, only 1.26. If you bet on total, then look at the offer from Duelbits: https://duelbits.com/promotions/man-city-atletico-odds-boost bet on the over 2.5 goals, an boosted odds of 3 are offered. Agree, bet on over 2.5 goals, with Atletico it's not easy, but City can always solve this issue.  Wink

Benfica has failed to win English side at home four tike in the uefe Champions League, since 2006/7 they have only won Liverpool at home since then they haven't won an English premier league side.
They failed to win during the weekend which ended their nine games unbeaten run winning six and drawing three.

Liverpool has hundred percent winning record coming from away, winning four, having win a Portuguese side in the UEFA champions league earlier in the group stages (Porto) they'll want to wrap things up with this game.
English sides are good knockers of Portuguese side in the champions league.

High odds are a trap for me although we never know when the lucky day will come.

It was a fair odds for Atletico ML. The fact that City is a heavy favourites to win the game makes it even better to have a small bet on Atletico rather than huge bet on City just to get back 1.3 so that means betting $3 on Atletico to win $30 is pretty much the same as betting $100 on City to win $30. Unless you are confident that City is going to win the game then this odds is quite good though

Indeed manchester city was the favorite in that match, but the experience of atletico madrid in the champions league should be watched out for by pep guardiola, atletico madrid is famous as a team that plays defensive football and they rely on physical strength to stop opposing players and it is evident in every match that  plays atletico madrid is often colored with red cards, of course with this hard game it will make the mentality of the Manchester City players down and of course Guardiaola must be able to have a special strategy to stop the hard style of play from Atletico Madrid.

Odd for Atletico seems quite high; 10. I know Man City is a far balanced and better team than ATM but ATM isn’t that bad either. Odd 10 seems quite high for them. I will be looking for ATM to win. Will put a few mBTC on ATM. I know I'm likely to lose the coin but it's very possible that ATM can make it.
LOL I hope you have considered losing some of your mBTC today to Atletico Madrid and I don't think you will regret it later. High odds are a trap for me although we never know when the lucky day will come.

Simione said Guardiola is lucky to have a lot of Legendary players on his team LOL.
Simeone knows they are the underdogs in this match but it is a nice satire for Guardiola.  Cheesy

I have no interest in Liverpool vs Benfica. Because the match is more likely to be one-sided. I look forward to the match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Although on paper Manchester City are favorite. But Atletico Madrid is not a weak team. They have the ability to win against Manchester. This is City's home match, they will probably play carefully. However, it will not be easy to get 3 points against Atletico Madrid. Looking forward to enjoying a competitive match.
Betting sites are considering Benfica as stronger opponent against Liverpool than Atletico Madrid against Manchester City. Both Man City and Liverpool are favourite against their opponents. The strength of their (Man City and Liverpool) squad are almost same. Bettors are considering Atletico Madrid as a strong opponent, and expecting to see a competitive match against Man City. But I'm wondering why betting sites have a different view on those matches! BTW, UCL is at quarter final stage. Winner will have the advantages in the second leg, not 3 points.

Good choice, at least you'll still get good odds too @2.xx and I'm sure it will. Considering Atletico will likely only play defensively and will rely on the counter-attack to create chances and goals. If Atletico can play disciplined 90 minutes with a good defence, then I'm sure Manchester City will get deadlocked and then slack off in defence. But yeah that's just a consideration from what I've seen before in their match in the local league, but hopefully this match will still be interesting even though it doesn't have many goals scored.

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have never met before.  This will be their first meeting, although many predictions say Manchester City will be able to tame the ATM, but Pep Guardiola's troops must be aware of the strength of Los Rojiblancos, As is known, the Champions League is not an easy competition to win for Guardiola.  His team always struggles when facing opponents who carry a defensive strategy like Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid.
At least the motivation to be the best in the Champions League will be more desired by Atletico Madrid. although they are indeed difficult to balance the game from Manchester City. Because the performance of the two teams has a significant difference. When Pep Guardiola tries to change the flow of the game perhaps the one to be wary of is Atletico Madrid's defense. They will be more vulnerable if Pep Guardiola already knows the loopholes to take advantage of.

Guardiola seems very optimistic to see his team's victory today from Atletico Madrid even though there is no guarantee they can win easily.
Simione said Guardiola is lucky to have a lot of Legendary players on his team LOL.

I agree, this coefficient for Atlético's victory looks very interesting. Usually when City play, such a coefficient can be found if the opponent is a team from the second half of the Premier League standings - is Atletico really that bad? I doubt.
As for what he said about the players that Guardiola worked with, maybe they are true but very undiplomatic about the players that Simeone worked with, he showed a lot of disrespect.

Manchester City are superior in terms of team and player quality compared to Atletico Madrid so it is only natural that they are favorites in this match by the bookie. Atletico Madrid are a strong team defensively and they are also very dangerous on the counter-attack and set-pieces, which is the reason why this match will not have many goals.

Guardiola seems very optimistic to see his team's victory today from Atletico Madrid even though there is no guarantee they can win easily. I think I will support Manchester City to win today because Atletico Madrid are not the favorites to reach the final this season.

Mathematically, Manchester City is more superior in that match, because Pep Guardeola's team has quite good players this year, but speaking of the experience of the two, they are not much different, because the Champions League actually requires a high level of experience to be able to play relaxed and measured, the Champions League is very important. different from the English League and the Spanish League, because here players must really have mentality, flight time and experience in the big leagues, this is why I believe Manchester City is more superior for now

Atlantico Madrid and Manchester City are going to battle it today and this match has the best odds on some betting sites presently, but even though Manchester city is given small odds I will still rather pick them for the full-time win.
This game against Atletico Madrid will be a very tight one. Atletico Madrid's playing style is opposes Manchester city's free flow football which always give them problems. They sit a little bit deep and hit you on the counter. Manchester city need to be more disciplined at the back. Diego Simeone is a very experience one and he has gone this stage more than 4 times now. He built a team that got the ball quickly out from the back without much elaboration, does not press high, defended deep, and attacked into space with killer transitions. The Anti-Pep had been born and playing that way he reached two Champions League finals and won two leagues. Atletico Madrid is a very stubborn team with Champions league experience and I believe they will be difficult for City.

I think Manchester City understand that the way they have played is going to be countered by Atletico Madrid, I expect them to be ready for that.

If actually, Manchester City does not expect that I think it will be a Rookie mistake. In my opinion, they are way past that.

Atletico Madrid should give enough problems for Manchester City but not enough to win the match, Remember City is also under pressure to stay at first place in the English Premier League.

But, I don't think City come up with has that type of pressure in La Liga because they are leading by Four Points from the team below and they also don't have any expectation to finish at the top, but that might be an over-exaggeration.
