Atletico Madrid are having a wonderful time in the La Liga for weeks indeed. But this can be absolutely misleading too. Because they don't perform the same in the La Liga and the Champions League both. They don't have opponents that are of the same quality in both tournaments. Manchester City are going to be their most serious opponent these days. And I can feel a certain loss for Atletico Madrid in the first leg as it is in Etihad. Manchester City will have the control of the match and Atletico Madrid will try to stop them by a solid defense. But they won't be able to stop Manchester City I think.
That trues with top performance Atletico Madrid on La Liga can't guarantee easy for defeating Manchester City actually City have impressive result when playing home. But looks different between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are team want to lead until final stage on Champion League, both team ever lead until to final but failed getting trophy. Become motivation for both team keep playing well hot to lead to semi final and winning tonight match. Interested to predict about which one team are the winning between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are stronger team right now.

Klopp personally spoke although Liverpool the favourite but he do not want to underestimate Benfica especially Benfica have good player which is on fire such as Darwin Nunez and he currently can made 27 goals from 34 matches in all competitions so van Dijk has to be careful with this player and in my view Benfica will not be easily to beaten because they have good players and there is potention this match will ended draw or if Liverpool won probably with slim score

Atlético Madrid have indeed appeared so impressive in the domestic competition where they are currently in third place in the BBVA league standings.will this impressive performance be infected in European competition, because the opponent they will face is the English giants, one of the strong candidates for the Champions League title this season. this is where they have a very dangerous attacking motor up front and it will be a very interesting game because Atletico Madrid also have a very solid defense at the back.

Well the match could really went unpredicted.Atletico madrid used to a negative football strategy when manchester city used to went total football. meaning that the odds during the match might giving low odds for manchester city as they had the possession but at letico madrid successfully doing their counter attack and scored once then defend it till the end. this is the possibility that i might expect in the game. we'll see.
Only one day left for the first two games in this round. Benfica - Liverpool game is very easy to predict of course. Liverpool would focus on this game completely and destroy Benfica to have a good advantage.
I don't think it is an easy prediction, no one can guarantee Liverpool to defeat Benefica easily. Moreover, Leg 1 will be held in Benefica home, they may have a big motivation, and not impossible to win. You cannot judge Liverpool must win because all teams qualified in this round are those strong teams, including Benefica. I simply avoid underestimating any teams, they possibly surprise us.without the dominance of ball possession, Benfica could have carried out a counter-attack strategy with a strong defense. if it works it can frustrate Salah and others.
Champions of English premier league versus the Champions of Spanish La Liga, who wins at the end of the day ?
Players on the lookout are to be de Bruyne and Jaoa Felix, tjay have been in a great form.
We can only make our predictions, there is no way to know who wins the game at the end of the day, as for who are my favorites i would say City, not only cause i am a fan but because i think they are the better team. I am pretty sure we would witness a coaching masterclass from both managers, Pep already hinted at that during his press conference, i absolutely can't wait to see what Guardiola has up his sleeves, it would be a wonderful game to watch.Players on the lookout are to be de Bruyne and Jaoa Felix, tjay have been in a great form.
If Athletico does win this game, they will boast of beating two Manchester side's.
Although this is the first time this teams are facing themselves on the UEFA Champions League.
Yes Athletico beat United, but this is a completely different scenario and City are a whole lot stronger than their arch rivals, even Simeone attested to the fact that City would be a much difficult team to win. This being the first times makes the game all the more intriguing and exciting to say the least, who is going to draw first blood in their first head to head encounter, we'll have to watch and see.

Does it mean you guess Atletico Madrid will destroy Man City in the 1 Leg of UCL? In my opinion, the current performance of Atletico Madrid in La Liga cannot guarantee that they are able to beat Man City. You must be aware of the current opponents of Atletico Madrid in La Liga weren't those strong teams. Most of them were just small teams that actually have no chance to get points against Atletico Madrid. It is very different with Man City, they are leading EPL standings and one of the strongest candidates for UCL title. So, Atletico Madrid must be very difficult to beat them, especially if Man City players are on fire (in their best forms).

It's hard to predict this match. Real Madrid has not performed as well in their last two matches in La Liga. They lost 4-0 to Barcelona, and 2-1 to Celta Vigo, but their gameplay was poor. Chelsea, on the other hand, lost their last match 4-1 to a team like Brentford. And so it is very difficult to predict how they will perform face to face now. But considering the home team, I will keep Chelsea ahead.This match will present a high intensity between the two teams. Ahead of this big game, Chelsea arrived to injure after losing 4-1 to Brentford in the Premier League. While Real Madrid can breathe a sigh of a relief, because Karim Benzema has recovered from his injury.
Chelsea who just lost to Brentford, will play more enthusiastically to get a win at a home. Chelsea will enjoy the match at Stamford Bridge to give Real Madrid a defeat.
I don't know if Chelsea losing the match is going to make much of a difference in the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Because I think Chelsea it was obviously saving some of their players for the more important match against Real Madrid.
Even if Chelsea loses one or two matches right now it is not going to make much of a difference in the points table of the English Premier League. I think Chelsea will be the winners in this match but obviously, Real Madrid is not a team which can be taken likely in these big matches.
Only one day left for the first two games in this round. Benfica - Liverpool game is very easy to predict of course. Liverpool would focus on this game completely and destroy Benfica to have a good advantage. I don't think that they can resist Liverpool like they did against Ajax here. And the other game is going to be even more interesting. Manchester City are the favourite side incredibly highly now according to bookmakers. Their odd is 1.30 while Atletico's is 11.00. This is a really humiliating odd for Atletico but it is the facts I'm afraid. Manchester City would win here.
Liverpool have their focus on winning the Champions League title this season, and they won't probably lose against Benfica. Although, am not underestimating Benfica, as they can strengthen their defence, and surprise us by beating Liverpool. Because, Champion League matches are usually unpredictable. Anything can happen. But, am quite certain that Liverpool won't lose against Benfica and will surely advance to the Semi-finals.
Champions of English premier league versus the Champions of Spanish La Liga, who wins at the end of the day ?

In the last 8 matches in all competitions Atletico are unbeaten, it's a very good achievement for Atletico who started this season badly. Atlético have
now started to return to their best form, even the last victory against Alaves with a very large score made the Atletico players confidence increase.
So it will be an interesting match when Man City face Atletico in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. So I predict that there might be
a surprise in the Man City vs Atletico match, so Man City, who is the favorite, must be wary. But because Man City were runners-up in the previous
year's Champions League competition, of course Man City have a bigger chance to win the game.
Regarding the Benfica vs Liverpool match, it is easier to predict, with Liverpool's consistent performance and the quality of Liverpool's players
are also much better than Benfica. It looks like Liverpool will beat Benfica easily, and I really can't imagine if Benfica can beat Liverpool.
For the Benfica vs Liverpool match, it is likely that there will be no surprises.
Looks Atletico Madrid back to top performance right now with 8 unbeaten match and keep continues against with Manchester City on 1st leg champion league, just my predicting only because looking how consistent performance from Atletico Madrid on 8 match before. I think Manchester City have impressive performance as home match and last round defeated Sporting Lisbon 5-0 and looks will try to win against with Atletico Madrid, between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have full team and not any player got injury will show interested match tomorrow for Champion league 1st leg on quarter final. now started to return to their best form, even the last victory against Alaves with a very large score made the Atletico players confidence increase.

I think we all know that Liverpool is going to dominate the match against Benfica. Because obviously, Liverpool is a lot better team. I really don't see how Liverpool is going to lose or even draw against Benfica.
Manchester City Versus Atletico might be a little closer than Liverpool vs Benfica because Atletico Madrid is a strong team. But I still don't believe that they will be able to beat Manchester City.
Manchester City and Liverpool should be the winners of these two matches. I know that Atletico Madrid is in a good run of form right now but really don't think ok that is going to do them any good in that match.
The thing about champions league is that we have seen upsets because it is elimination game. If it was a league format like the one they tried to build called super league, I would wager everything I own to say Liverpool would be higher in standings than Benfica when the league ends. However it is a situation where it is elimination so one bad game by Liverpool being right at the time of a great game by benfica could change everything.Manchester City Versus Atletico might be a little closer than Liverpool vs Benfica because Atletico Madrid is a strong team.

This is of course just a possibility, a bigger possibility is clearly the fact that Liverpool will win. Nobody denies the fact that Liverpool is BY FAR the better of these teams and will probably be better for sure.

I expect the English clubs to win tomorrow. Manchester City should beat Atletico Madrid and make the first entry into the personal competitions. There is no doubt that Liverpool will beat Benfica as well, but for some reason their recent head-to-head encounters have ended with a win for the Portuguese. Perhaps Benfica should not be underestimated.
MMMM.... I dont see a clear win for Manchester city against Atletico. Maybe two months back yes, but today Atletico recover his shape and its a very strong team like seasons before.In Liverpool game not so much to say, clear win and pass for Liverpool Benfica has no chance.

But City have never quite met Atletico, who've become more and more like their old selves, the ones Liverpool found hard to beat: stubborn, negative, anti-football.
We've all seen City frustrated by far less. So that's my super pick of the week: Atletico outright in
right onWe've all seen City frustrated by far less. So that's my super pick of the week: Atletico outright in
i'm getting Atletico v Liverpool (2019) and Bayern v Atletico (2016) vibes from this City-Madrid clash tomorrow, Atletico getting a lot of disrespect, but then they go and prove the naysayers that anything can happen in football. +1.5 and ahc +1.75 looking super tasty
