Now that Liverpool team and Manchester city team are qualified for quarter - finals, why some team are still struggle to qualify base on their poor performance in their last matches. Chelsea team are seriously struggle to join the qualified team for quarter - finals to enable them to drag the UEFA champion league title from Manchester city who are in good position to stand for final in this tournament. This round 16 is seriously affecting Manchester United that got to 4 position in the table but they have dropped to 5  position that is giving their fans a serious worry if they will be able to qualify for quarter final in this season.
Liverpool and Manchester city are the two teams in England that have qualified for quarter final stage, we are still waiting for Chelsea and Manchester united, although Manchester United's qualification is not yet certain due to their poor performances, but Chelsea will surely join Manchester city and Liverpool.
This Round of 16 was very tough we hope that Real Madrid will be the favorite as their show their great influence in the competition.

How irregular Villarreal's performance is can be seen from their performance in the last two matches. Villarreal lost 1-0 to Osasuna in the last match. It was their away match. In the previous match, they had a remarkable 5-1 win over Espanyol. In away match, Villarreal is a bit weak. And so in this match I would expect Juventus to win.
Juventus will be very difficult to beat by Villareal, of course. The defense of this Serie A team looks strong enough for Villareal which incidentally is not consistent enough in every match.

Villareal managed to hold Juventus to a draw in the first leg, but in the second leg Juventus will be seeded to win the match. We still have time to look forward to this match and some changes are still possible to hope for. Prior to that, Juventus had 1 match to play in the league against Samdoria and Villareal also had 1 important match against Celta vigo. However, there is only 1 most interesting match for the Champions League in the middle of next week, namely Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid.

That's an opportunity in Turin for Juventus but remember Villareal in the Champions League of course the game will be different from the domestic league so from that I can't conclude because they will certainly prepare even more for this match.

Messi has not scored against Real Madrid and has not made a single assist for the past 9 matches. He plays frankly badly and those who watch games, and do not indulge in memories, should objectively evaluate this fact.
I liked more how many talked about "the best trio that no one can compare with" and in the end, only Mbappe showed himself out of the trio.

That's a joke about Messi going to be brilliant but in fact Messi didn't make a good contribution he was getting locked up and depressed with that match, honestly I didn't expect Real Madrid to come back and Benzema was the hero who scored a hat-trick to win Los Blancos progress to the next round.
There is a rumor that PSG's predictor (Nasser Al-Khelaifi) is lashing out at the referee and he is fed up with his squad paying a lot of players but in reality it should be eliminated as well.

The commentator of the TV channel on which I watched the match said (when the players were shown at the end of the match and Messi appeared on the screen): he didn’t even sweat in the second half. Indeed, while other players were sweating like a river, Messi looked dry. We can’t blame him alone for the defeat (the goalkeeper messed up the coolest of all, and Pochchetino slept through the substitutions), but there is a share of his guilt.
By the way, I do not see anything controversial in the moment when Benzema pressed Donnarumma - he was outside the goalkeepers area, plus at the moment of contact both Benzema's feet were on the lawn.

For gamblers in my village, they only choose based on the big name of club. they did not think too long, who their opponents and other factors. For example Juventus vs Villareal, because Juventus have a better history of winning in the domestic league, theywill choose Juventus, no matter the statistics or whatever. But, this is not a pro gambler, they are just bet, nothing else.

However, for those of us who at least have little bit a knowledge of football and also the world of gambling, choosing a club should not be the way they bet. If by analysis can lose, those who just bet will have a greater chance of losing. we could say, their victory is 100% luck, because they are win without doing anythung  Grin

You say it very correctly, the popularity of a club is still a byword in an environment that doesn't always update football news every day. Just rely on history and it still holds true. But I personally will not deny that respecting their beliefs is very important. But inserting a little education every now and then is very important so that they also get news updates from people who are familiar with the latest information about the world of football. Little by little can change the point of view according to the current situation of the club.

Btw, Juventus also still has some strong factors to win at the moment. So the conventional method used will bring good luck, right?  Grin

We have found 4 clubs that have confirmed themselves to be in the quarterfinals, and only 4 more tickets are up for grabs by the teams who are currently struggling in the round of 16, it is quite interesting to see which team will be able to occupy the remaining 4 positions and I think this season will we see if there will be a fellow English team that will compete with each other in the quarter-finals later, because right now England still leaving a lot of their representatives.
Manchester City and Liverpool have already reached the quarter-finals, while Chelsea and Manchester United are still doubtful due to club problems and team performances. Chelsea began to doubt appear better after news circulated that the British Government had made new rules regarding this club. Obviously it will hurt Chelsea, who are still in the Champions League, but politics has really damaged football in real terms this year especially with regards to Russia. [I don't want to say much about this].

It might sound good when 4 Premier League teams can progress to the quarter-finals this season meaning Chelsea and Manchester United both through in their respective match. The English final is still possible and in recent seasons England have started to dominate the Champions League. Liverpool will have a great chance of winning the title this season if they get to the final, but only if Manchester City fail in the quarter-finals or semi-finals.

We have left the most waited matchup behind which was between Real Madrid and PSG. And to be honest, I was thinking that PSG would advance to next round in the CL. And my thought strengthened even more after Mbappe scored that goal. But I really admired Real Madrid's not giving up any time in the game. And this was critical for them to turn the game and matchup around at the same time. PSG helped them have a chance too by their mistakes. But I can't say that Real Madrid didn't deserve to advance. Especially Benzema deserved it a lot by making a hat-trick. What an unbelievable comeback!
At first I believed PSG could qualify but I didn't expect it to be the other way around at the Santiago Bernabeu Madrid was even more violent than before, and what made the mistake was that Donnarumma made the players lose concentration on the pitch and the goals continued in a short time from Benzema so that's great indeed.
Although at the beginning Mbappe scored the first goal but it could not save PSG to advance to the next round and Real Madrid still deserves to be called the club that is feared in the Champions League.

Playing at the Allianz Stadium gave a morale boost to Juventus players, thus making bets more in a favor of Juventus. Villarreal also don't want to give up in this match, they will try to pressure Juventus so they can accompany Real Madrid, who qualified first to the quarter-finals. Juventus and Villarreal still have a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals, because in the Leg 1 meeting they were drawn and there are still 90 minutes to prove who is the best between these two teams.
I am certain that playing at home will have some benefits, plus Villareal is definitely a team that should not be toyed with, they were europa champions last year and in last 16 at champions league this year which all shows how great they are already. However, that doesn't make Villareal as the favourites here neither, we are talking about a team situation where Juventus is getting a bit better after Ronaldo left.

It took them a while to be good again, they couldn't find how to operate better because they were used to playing one way and now needed to change that way. But, it looks like they are actually doing alright now and the results are showing lately.

We have our first qualifiers for the quarter-finals: Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. And we are going to have the remaining four qualifiers next week. And my favourites in those games are going to be Ajax, Manchester United, Juventus and Chelsea. I believe that Ajax and Chelsea won't have big struggles to advance. But Juventus and Manchester United can have a hard time eliminating their opponent. Because I believe that they are at a similar level with their opponents right now. But at the end, I still don't expect a surprising result in those games too.

I agree with you, because as far as I bet the thing that is often done is not to rush to make a betting choice. I often procrastinate and try to gather as much information as possible about the condition of both parties. I haven't been able to fully retrieve information from Juventus, so I always look for information from both Juventus and Villareal. Because I think this is very important for gamblers. Those in a hurry to drop bets will have a hard time retracting when they have misinformation.

If we are going to bet on this match, it is better if we wait for the updated news about Juventus squad. At least wait till the last day before kick off to know the lineups prediction because they have some injured players. Some players are injured such as Dybala, Zakaria, Chiesa, Bonucci, Chiellini and McKennie. Those are important players for Juventus and may affect their gameplay significantly. Hopefully some of them will be recovered before kick off so they can have a better lineups to fight against Villareal.

PSG [...] They might be the best squad in the world probably. But in my opinion, if they are considering three goals between just 18 minutes, there are some problems which need to be fixed.

The best players don't necessarily make the best team. I mean, that front-line of PSG consists of three absolutely insanely good individual players. But try to play Messi, Mbappe and Neymar all together at the same time, and it just doesn't click. I think when we look at team-sheets, we tend to consider how good each individual player is... but there is nothing on a team-sheet that explains how well they all fit together. It can be difficult to pin down, and difficult to get right. For the PSG front three, it's just not there. Looking at it on paper, you'd be tempted to think it doesn't really matter at all what their defence is like, with those three up front they should obliterate anyone they play, but it's just not happening... it's masked a lot in the French league as the opposition isn't strong enough, but when they come up against a big European team, they get found out.
I understand this, putting the 3 best players in front is not balanced if the PSG defense is not having the best players. Only Ramos I know is the best defender at PSG, but this guy keeps getting injured. actually the psg squad are popular players but the manager has not been able to do his best for the team.

Indeed, it cannot be ignored that Villarreal is a strong team and Juventus still have to do their best to win and qualify for the quarter-finals. Actually, Juventus is very lucky to get Dusan Vlahovic this is a player who can promise good results for Juventus. I don't know if I'm exaggerating or not, but I think Dusan Vlahovic is very suitable to play here and with high motivation because at his young age makes Juventus have better speed in attacking.
Vlahovic has good potential, but I don't consider him a top forward. He is still young and maybe he will become such a striker in Juventus, but not everyone succeeds. Villarreal have a very good defense, so they will try to score a goal and play well in defense. Today's Juventus misses a lot and the second leg can also miss a goal from Villarreal, but in the home match, I think that Juventus will have the advantage.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Juventus will not lose at home against Villarreal. Juventus is a very good team. Probably they have not lost in any of the last 11 matches. They must maintain this continuity. They are strong in home matches. On the other hand, Villarreal's performance is irregular. However, they play quite defensively. If Juventus want to win today, the strikers will have to play well and try to break Villarreal's defense. And I hope Juventus's player are able to play well today and will win.
Guys, the second leg between Juventus and Villareal will be held in the middle of next week so there is still plenty of time to see them prepare for a team performance or player recovery. Obviously I hope Juventus qualify for the quarter-finals with a win, but I won't rule out the possibility of Villareal trying their best.

So far the opportunity for these two teams is still there because the first leg only ended in a draw. Villareal are good but Juventus have more experience in the Champions League. Like most Serie A teams, Juventus also has a strong defense in every match they play. Looking forward to that match.
That's an opportunity in Turin for Juventus but remember Villareal in the Champions League of course the game will be different from the domestic league so from that I can't conclude because they will certainly prepare even more for this match.
Only Chelsea has 2 goals in the first leg while the other 3 matches will fight for their respective wins, well it looks like it will be even more exciting and not lose to Man United vs Atletico Madrid here we will know how Man United must be able to prove its UCL.

Villareal are not favorites in the Champions League so it is hard to expect them to qualify when the opposing team is a top team from another league. In terms of quality and experience, Juventus deserved more chances to qualify for the quarter-finals, but the fact remains difficult to predict the outcome. There may have been surprises from Villareal this season but actually it was not to be expected.

The figure of Dusan Vlahovic will be my attention in the Juventus vs Villarreal match which will be played at the Juventus stadium. The Serbian striker has not scored in two games (vs Fiorentina and vs Spezia) since impressing during his debut with Juventus on February 6, even though in the 1st leg against Villarreal Dusan Vlahovic scored a quick goal. Before facing Villarreal in the UCL, Juventus will have one match in Serie A, D. Vlahovic could have scored.

Regarding who will win in the match and who will qualify for the next round, I also believe that Juventus will be the representative of Italy after Inter lost.

I'm also thinking that Juventus won't be losing against Villarreal in Turin. I know that there is still time for this match now. But Juventus are a really solid team in their home matches which is another fact here. I accept that Villarreal are a really tough opponent and we saw it in the first leg too. And I won't be expecting a comfortable match for Juventus either. I expect a really close one in fact but Juventus would still find a way out and defeat their opponent by a goal difference of one in 90 minutes I think.

I don't expected with how more experience from Juventus on champion league but they always have bad reputation last than three years on this competition, maybe as Juventus fans still remember last season on 16 round Juventus kick out by Lyon as not favorite and less experience on champion league. I think with held score first leg give the same chance between Juventus or Villareal will lead to next stage although Juventus have several advantage by playing home. I hope with Juventus can qualify to next stage because Serie A team left Juventus only right now after Inter Milan defeated by Liverpool.

In term of Champions League experience, Juventus can not be compared to Villarreal because Juventus is far better. In term of what both teams played in the first match, Juventus have more chances to win the second match, they both played draw. Villarreal is a Spanish La Liga club, while Juventus is Italian Seria club with more history and fully back unlike when the club started this season weakly, Juventus has been winning matches very well now, it has the home advantage which it will not misused this time around, Juventus still have more chance to win clubs in Seria while at home not to talk of a club coming from another country league. Because of these, I do not think Juventus will win Villarreal, Juventus will certainly win Villarreal, thinking is an understatement.
