Smart is not enough, there must be skills

We're about to start the games. Not sure what to expect from the Villareal vs Juventus match. It may well go up in the score. Villareal will certainly want to score quickly and then extend the lead to 2-0. They are also favorite with the bookies and for good reason. Hopefully it will be dry there in Spain, a lot of rain will sabotage the level. 2-2 would be a reasonable final score.

My guess in this match is that if Villarreal can score first then they will win. Because I have watched Villarreal's last few matches. They like to play attacking too much. And so if Villarreal can score today's first goal then they will play defensively. And playing Villarreal defensively, Juventus will have a lot of problems to score. Because one of the main strikers of the team Dybala is not in the squad.

Still not visible because the match has just started. So I think we're going to go through it round after round to spend some time in the first half watching closely how both sides are playing. Because so far it won't be very clear to comment on what just started. As for the moment, I still don't bet either Juventus or Villarreal, who are more popular, will tend to stay.

That's going to be a fun game. Juventus after less than a minute on a 0-1 lead. Many scenarios were possible and conceivable, but not this one. Can we now assume that this will be an open competition? Juventus smells blood but will also want to hold on to that 0-1 as long as possible, that would be an ideal scenario for the rematch in Turin.

Happiest for me tonight would be a Juventus and Lille win -- I just prefer their quality to Villareal at the moment, and I know Chelsea can easily win at home, so can afford to lose tonight (plus I've got an oversized bet on the French).

Well thats kinda wild isnt it.  I was expecting Chelsea to flop a well but not to the point that they would lose against Lille, a draw most likely but yeah we'll see. Aside from that, I'd love to watch if Villarreal would win against Juventus as I think they have a solid performances so far in LaLiga to keep up with Juventus so I made a small parlay bet of Draw for Chelsea vs Lille and Villarreal to win  Tongue

It's more than wild, I don't think that Lille has any chances even for a draw, Chealse is playing top football, they are better in all positions... if Lille can do something that is to score at least one goal!
Brave bet on Villarreal... definitely an interesting game, but I will give advantage to Juve, Vlahovic needs to prove himself! Smiley I have a bet both teams to score for this game, I guess Villarreal can surprise and win, Juve can win as well, so I decided to play on goals!

Edit: And this happened so fast!

DUSAN VLAHOVIC IS THE NEXT BIG THING!

The level in this match between Villareal and Juventus is very close. I don't think we can point to a clear favorite, which is the case with Chelsea's game. My prediction is that Chelsea will win very easily, but often start late. At Villareal - Juventus I will keep it on a draw (1-1) for the time being. And also possible that this match will go into fire very late as well, Juventus aiming not to lose.

I don't think Lille are strong enough to stop Chelsea in this game. I think Chelsea will win this match by more than 2 goals and no draw for this match. I considered Lille's poor form in the domestic league at the moment where they haven't done well so far before making a statement. Chelsea are superior to Lille so I hope Lille can lose today.

Villareal and Juventus in my opinion are much more interesting to watch because these two teams look quite balanced so far. The performances of both are equally good in their respective domestic leagues so we can expect good games from them. I suspect this match will end in a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.

There is not much time left for the Chelsea - Lille and Villarreal - Juventus games today. It is good to have the Champions League matchups back again this week but this time there are not very huge games. Chelsea are the favourite by far against Lille today and we can understand it clearly from the odds also. I expect nothing different than a very comfortable win for Chelsea here. And when it comes to the other game, I'm favouring Juventus in this. Maybe it is going to be very hard to win but even a draw would be enough for them.

The performances of both Chelsea and Lille are now irregular. However, the Chelsea team seems to be stronger in this match. Despite winning the last two matches, Chelsea have lost points in several previous matches. Although Lille's performance is weak if they playing defensively will make it difficult for Chelsea to win this match.
The match between Juventus and Villarreal will be competitive. The last time the two teams met was in 2009, when Villarreal won the match 4-3. I am not expecting too many goals in today's match

Half an hour to go. Chelsea players must be dying for destroying Lille home. And I'm very sure that they will do so. Lille just can't resist them properly by their performance in this season. But it was still a good achievement for them to get past the group stage although they aren't having a good season. And Villarreal are playing home against Juventus which seems to be a very competitive game. I don't think Juventus will win here. Villarreal would do their best to win but I expect a draw.

Looking forward to the start of the games, but actually already a little disappointed. For some reason, at the moment I want to see decisive final games when there is no "reserve" match ahead and the teams play without having a "reserve" option in mind. Still, the Champions League infuriates that the number of real death matches is too small compared to the total number of matches.

Juventus is lacking in defense, they have 3 injured players, Dybala is also broken again.

Lille and Villareal are not the seeded teams that have so far made it through to the round of 16. So far Villareal are playing well in Laliga and some time ago they also managed to draw with Real Madrid 0-0, I think they can score but not win the match vs Juventus. But things are different for Lille because so far their performance in Ligue 1 has been very unstable. Lille have been unsatisfactory so far as they have won just 9 of their current 25 match in Ligue 1 and I'm sure Chelsea will beat them from today's first leg.

My prediction:
Chelsea vs Lille 4-1
Villareal vs Juventus 1-3
Even though Lille and Villareal are not the top teams, I think the predictions are too many goals. The two teams between Lille and Villareal will definitely focus more on defending by relying on counter attacks and making Chelsea, Juventus will have difficulty scoring 3 more goals. Despite the unstable performance of Lille, Villarreal are a team with a good performance in La Liga and I think the prediction is more correct like this.

Chelsea vs Lille 2-0
Villareal vs Juventus 0-1
I have a different view about the prediction in today's champions league between Chelsea vs Lille, Villarreal vs Juventus. Chelsea game will not be an easy game I see them winning 1:0 or maybe a 1:1 draw. As for Villarreal and Juventus game, it will be a battle I can not give Juventus the win because Villarreal is in good form so i think Villarreal will win the game 2:1.

Not the best of games in the CL today - it often happens that these early knockout stages are unattractive, at least on paper.

Chelsea should win easily today, whereas I believe Villarreal can really make things complicated for Juve. I will probably watch that one, I hope to see Vlahović in action.

I'll be very happy if there aren't any draws. Want the second leg to be desperate, to be a must-win, but I also don't want a Lisbon game where there's nothing left to play for and they won't risk anything just to salvage some pride.

Happiest for me tonight would be a Juventus and Lille win -- I just prefer their quality to Villareal at the moment, and I know Chelsea can easily win at home, so can afford to lose tonight (plus I've got an oversized bet on the French).

Totally agree with all the assessments about tonight I know Juventus haven't been doing well in the league but surely something is off when they're not the favorites against Villareal. They're not the same team they were, no team really is, but Villareal also is going to be highly prone to allow goals. BTTS is for sure, just who will get more goals I guess is the winner, but at the same time both don't mind drawing too with away goals rule gone I would say.
Yes, that will make each team finally have to win in the initial match with a goal, because in the second leg later of course they can apply a defensive strategy which of course has been proven by many of the big teams and can't even do much. Regarding Villarreal v Juventus it is very possible for both teams to score because they both have the ability to score goals and also, the defense that was not so perfect for both allowed them to concede.
I think in today's game against Juventus vs Villarreal, if not the favor of Juventus will be a big loss. Both teams are playing well now and both teams will want to win. However, as confident as I am, Juventus can win this game, because their sticker Paulo Dybala will play in this match and will be able to score the goals that come. In Villarreal vs. Juventus it is possible for both teams to score because they both have the ability to score. There is no objection that both teams can draw goals at the same time.

Villarreal are playing well enough now in La Liga. In the last match, they defeated Granada 4-1. In the previous match, they shared points with Real Madrid. Juventus is not a weak team though. But as far as I know their main striker Dybala is still injured. And he may not be able to play in this match. At the same time, one of Villarreal's key players Gerard Moreno is injured. I think the match is more likely to be a draw.
