What do you think today about the Atletico - United game? Atletico is a slight favorite according to the bookies, but neither team is really performing well this season.

United might be in a slightly better form at the moment but Atletico still knows how to play on the result - whereas United does not.

United is undefeated in their last 5 CL games but they won only 1 out of their 7 knockout games in Spain. Atletico however has 4 defeats in a row against English teams.

MU has not faced ATM for a long time, but in this match, I chose "draw". MU and ATM both have unstable performances, apart from that in their respective leagues, both of them also have a history that is not so good in this season.

I agree if I choose a draw, considering that both teams are still in the stage of wanting to knock each other out and their performance is almost stable. So if you are betting on UCL between Manchester United or choosing Atletico Madrid, I agree that Draw is probably more appropriate for now. If there is another alternative, perhaps a little consideration that Atletico Madrid could have outperformed the game than Manchester United's relatively stagnant performance.

I believe that United has the momentum and that is why they may end up winning. I believe that they are actually quite close teams in level but the fact that they are doing better these weeks could be a reason for them to actually end up winning.

The smallest difference between the teams could be destroyed by just having "it was their day" type of situation. Sometimes some teams have a great day and end up getting a great result. Even worse teams could beat better teams overall, that way ended up getting higher and higher. This doesn't mean that they will win, but at the end of the day they have a better momentum and that is why I will wager on them.

Ajax Benfica is sure to have more goals in today's champions leauge matches

Why do you think Benfica-Ajax will be the game with the most goals? How many goals are you talking about?
Do you think Ajax will score many goals against Benfica? It's true that Benfica is in a bad phase of the season, but I believe it won't make it that easy either.

For me today all the people lets see Atletico Madrid Manchester United, but i think the mayority of goals can be in the other game Ajax Benfica.
But im not 100% fo this because Cristiano score a lot vs Atletico and this year Atletico its defending like shit.

Very interesting fact of the goal of Villarreal.

These assumptions are confirmed by the quotes of the bookmakers - for the match Atlético - Manchester United they give a total over 2.28, and for the match Benfica - Ajax 1.73. But as you correctly noted, Atlético plays badly in defense, plus I would add that Manchester United also regularly gives out bad matches (or they can concede 2 goals in 70 seconds like from Leeds) so there will probably be a lot of goals in this pair too.

I have an optimistic bet on Ajax, halftime/fulltime Ajax Amsterdam/Ajax Amsterdam at 2.43! Ajax is like a machine, they are winning from week to week, 6 wins in CL, and I don't think they will stop here!

I also feel they are strong favorites tonight, they have scored 70 goals in Eredivisie and conceded only 5 times in 20+ games.

However - when they did concede, they usually lost the game. They have +65 goal difference in 23 games but have lost 3 and drawn 2 of them - meaning that they don't know how to turn things around when it doesn't go their way. Benfica is not the team it was but still finished 2nd in the group with PSG and Barcelona, meaning that they won't be pushed over easily. Still, I feel your Ajax bet has decent value.

I know it's an optimistic bet, Benfica is not a team we should underestimate, and they are playing at home! I just think that Ajax will continue with their aggressive style from the first minutes, and if they score some goal in the early game they will lead the game till the end and they will win! But as you say, if things don't go that way, if Benfica surprise, which may happen with some counter-attack, Ajax will not be able to turn the game in their favor!
Well, in my opinion, this will be a more interesting game than Atletico vs United! But we will see what will happen! Good luck with your bets!

Atletico Madrid have been extremely inconsistent this season. The same applies to Manchester United. But Manchester united have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks while Atletico Madrid have lost four of their last seven matches across all competitions. This could be a tightly contested affair between the two sides as the result could mean a lot to either team. We expect Atletico Madrid to sit back and hit Manchester United on the counter since they are familiar with Manchester United's defensive frailties. But I believe that both clubs are in a similar vein of underwhelming form ahead of their clash in the Champions League and there should be goals in this one.

Juventus was very poor and it's disappointing seeing them playing this way,they are the Italian giant the should be demolishing teams like Villarreal in the champions League,I think they have to strengthen their squad in the summer,they are very weak in the midfield department,they need quality in that position and also in attack, Vlahovic is a good signing but they need more, the defence is okay, I heard they are interested in autaro Martinez at inter Milan, I really think is the sort of player they need but I doubt if inter Milan will sale, because they are direct rivals for the title.

I don't think there was anything wrong with Juventus' match in the first leg and their performance was quite good even though they failed to maintain their lead because the goals were matched.
Don't underestimate Villaerreal they are also one of the teams that are indeed quite strong in La Liga and the movement of their players sometimes makes it difficult for the top teams in La Liga.
I think that in this first leg, Juventus is actually very good, although there are still some things that need to be improved in their squad

Ajax Benfica is sure to have more goals in today's champions leauge matches but for Manchester united Athletico i don't see united's possibility of wining against ATM. Staking on Ronaldo to score is a high risk. Machester can't stand the speed and energy of the laliga game style. Chelsea was quite lucky last night Lille was lacking in strikers which made their efforts waste. Athletico will be brutal for united

Fun Fact;

Did you know that Villarreal's goal was at 22 hours and 22 minutes local time of the 22nd day of the 2nd month of 2022 ?

https://twitter.com/VillarrealCFen/status/1496259166901571585?t=HwhpfSP_sppJFENDp8xdLQ&s=19

Funny no doubt! It was only missing in the 22nd minute of the game. And the funniest thing would be that the game ended 2-2. Tongue

There really are funny things in football. If we continue to search for these facts, we will find many more.

Yes it is true that this goal will certainly be a moment to be remembered by villareal, moreover that goal at the same time can prevent them from losing in the first leg of the last 16 of the champions league, I think although it is a bit difficult, but villareal has a great opportunity to make juventus stop in the champions league in the second leg later, the second leg will be played at Juventus headquarters and I think Villareal should be able to play perfectly like in the 1st leg today.

It was estimated that Salzburg were able to draw. In fact, they made Muncen such a frustration. Salzburg's players play deep and that made it difficult for Munchen. But they were lucky, they were able to score in the first half. Looking at the statistics indeed Munchen are very controlling the match, they were able to make 650 passes and that's 2.5 more than passes Salzburg. I thought Munchen would have won easily but I was wrong.
Maybe for the 2nd leg Munchen will have to learn to attract the Salzburg players to go up, because their first leg looks difficult to score. Maybe Salzburg's strategy will also be the same, because they understand Munche have quality players above them.

Benfica v Ajax, I'm curious about this match and if it's possible they will each have their own goals so they have more than 2.5 goals. Considering that so far the teams that have competed in the last 16 only Manchester City have managed to score a lot of goals, while the other teams have only got a low goal ratio of under 2.5 goals. Benfica itself is not good enough in defense because at least in the few matches he played in the local league Benfica always conceded, in contrast to Ajax who were even able to win big with clean sheets in the local league and that was something great. But here at UCL, will they still be the same as their gameplay when competing in the local league, I'm very curious and I hope both teams to score goals or at least this match has a goal over 2.5 goals.

DUSAN VLAHOVIC IS THE NEXT BIG THING!

30 Seconds to score in his 1st Champions League game.

Fastest goal in history for Juventus.

Unfortunately the fastest goal did not help them to win the match. Villareal played very well as a home team, Juventus with so many missing best players were lucky enough to get 1 point. Vlahovic is a very potential players but with the lack of passing from other players, he may lose all his potential skills.

Today we will see an interesting match between Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United. Both team are not in their best performance this season in the local league as they are still struggling almost in every match. Will be there another psy war between Simeone and Ronaldo? Grin

This season Chelsea hasn’t really been in the best of performances and as times goes by things will surely get tight because of fatigue and injury. Two of Chelsea player sub-stained injuries in the game I just hope it is nothing too serious.

Injury has always been a part of Chelsea's problem, at every point we have one or two players out due to injury. I just hope Mateo Kovacic, Hakim Ziyech injury aren't that serious to keep them out of the season like how James and chilwell injury has. In regards to the performance yesterday, it wasn't a surprised both teams played well but Chelsea were superior. We should have scored more than 2 goals as that can easily be equalized due to home advantage.

Lille has been impressive this season in the champions league although not doing great at domestic league and Chelsea has been better in cup competition than league games. Both teams deserve more time in the competition sadly only one will progress and that will be Chelsea.

Hopefully Villarreal can score a goal. Juventus were lucky to score in the first minute, but on the game, Villarreal look just as good. I think we can expect a draw in this match.

So you are right, it was a draw and I would say it was fair. Juventus didn't have much chances after the goal and it looked like they didn't want any more. The 1-1 had to come and it's a fair result for both teams. Positive was the first half and Juventus' defence, almost nothing gets through and they are so extremely strong. The formation with the 3-6-1 system does not create many goals or chances.

Unbelievable result, which is not the accepted how they started the match with 1-0 lead just 32 seconds. The fastest goal in Champions league history as well, however needs to win. Clearly Juventus is struggling, this style of play full of fear isn't in the nobility of Juventus, there's no big expectation for this team at all. But, yet let's hope they bring the spirit into the second leg.

Juventus was very poor and it's disappointing seeing them playing this way,they are the Italian giant the should be demolishing teams like Villarreal in the champions League,I think they have to strengthen their squad in the summer,they are very weak in the midfield department,they need quality in that position and also in attack, Vlahovic is a good signing but they need more, the defence is okay, I heard they are interested in autaro Martinez at inter Milan, I really think is the sort of player they need but I doubt if inter Milan will sale, because they are direct rivals for the title.

I have seen some tentative or predicted line up of Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid that is holding later this night. What I didn't like in the line up is seeing Rashford at the right flank and seeing Maguire at the middle defense.
If Manchester united really want good result, they should start Lingard or Elanga ahead of Rashford. Rashford plays ball these days like a king. The way he treks in the pitch is what I don't understand. He doesn't complete his markings.
In the other hand, I prefer Lindelof to confident for naught captain Maguire. Maguire is only good in the air and nothing else. He gives me high blood pressure watching Manchester United.
But whatever, Manchester United is in better position to win ATM.

First of all, Manchester united are Away to play Atlatico Madrid at home, I see no point of winning the Spanish team easily, although both of them are not in good form until their last league matches that all the two teams secure win. I can't say that Manchester united will be loosing tonight, but it will be very difficult for them to win the match. I will predict the match as draw, this because even as we all know that Manchester united have Ronaldo that have a very vast experience in Champions League, Atlatico also have a defense that is stronger enough to withstand man united attack

And they did their thing as always by trying to keep their 1-0 advantage until the end. Because it was going to be enough for Juventus for the second leg. But Villarreal finally scored the equalizer however couldn't get ahead. And now, Juventus are still holding an advantage.

The away goal rule doesn't apply any longer. Therefore, no one has an advantage for the second leg. If the match ends with another draw, no matter how many goals are scored, it's heading into overtime.

Juventus defended very well for most parts of the game. They conceded a goal after they believed that Vlahovic was fouled while losing possession and instead of continuing to play, they froze and expected to hear the referees whistle. The goal that followed was amateurishly conceded. The Mckennie injury was bad because he is the only player with guts and quality in the current midfield. Except the goal, Juve was pretty clueless in that attacking half. I remember one attempt by Morata whose shot went over the goal and one by Locatelli with the same result. In the 2nd half, Vlahovic had one more shot that was saved. Other than that, they relied on defending and being pushed back towards their penalty box.
