And when it comes to the Salzburg v Bayern Munich matchup, we can already consider Bayern Munich as the highly favourite side very clearly. Bayern Munich shouldn't have much difficulty in destroying Salzburg in both matches of this draw. Bayern Munich are even one of the most favoured teams for the Champions League title too. They gave their best against PSG last season but they still were eliminated. But this time, they might want to revenge on them in case they get a draw against each other again.
I agree that Bayern Munich is the big favorite in the next round against Red Bull Salzburg. At the moment Bayern is missing like 12 players or so because of Covid and the Africa Cup but we still have almost 5 weeks to go until the match vs Salzburg happens and until then those players will surely be back. The only question is if Bayern can prevent from now on to have more Covid cases. I think even if they are missing 4 to 5 key players against Salzburg for whatever reason then Bayern should still be able to advance, but once they are in the quarter- or the semi-finals they really need all their good players. I think Covid is definitely a big factor in this years tournament.

Many players in Bayern Munich's squad have been infected with the coronavirus. However, I think they will be able to return to the squad before the Champions League match. However, if a new player is infected with the coronavirus, Bayern Munich will have problems. However, Bayern Munich will win against Red Bullet Slazburg even if they play their second tier team. Bayern's second tier team is also strong enough. So Bayern Munich have nothing to worry about with this match.

I think Liverpool we have a hard time winning this game in all honesty I think is a 50/50 match both team have great player the only plus for Liverpool here is they have Mohamed Salah,he is such a genius that can change the game in one moment even if Liverpool are playing badly.inter have their own small demon in Lautaro Martinez the Argentine is a creator and finisher.
I just read about Ian rush talking about Liverpool last night, he has a feeling Liverpool would be winning versus inter on san Siro because have great players on each line, especially trio attacker Salah, Mane, and Firminho. but, Liverpool must be careful if the legend turn, Dzeko. He made Wolfsburg get the first time title Bundesliga. Inter also has a good defense, a draw is possible if one or other (salah or mane) have a bad performance.


Edin Dzeko?  He was with Man City in their title winning season too under Roberto Mancini.  City’s first title since a very long time before that.  Lol.  Dzeko was really good at City but he was mostly used as super sub with Aguero used as the first striker for most of the fixtures in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1.

I don’t know much about the Serie A but judging from just each club’s current form and with the match being played at Inter Milan, I feel like Inter could win but a more likely result is a draw...  Dunno.  But if I were to bet this it would be something like Inter double chance and BTTS combo at 2.50.  Decent value imo.

If they reach the semi-finals, I think it's already very good. Of course, in football anything can happen, and I can be surprised, but I don't see it.
It's still very difficult to guess to reach the semi-finals. But to qualify in the big eighth I think they are capable. Although Inter are not easy opponents I feel confident Liverpol will qualify. The statistics I know in their four meetings, Liverpol are ahead with three wins and one more belongs to Inter. Liverpol were so great at UCL they escaped without defeat. I don't see them based on the league because the UCL game has a different spirit. I hope no players will be injured until the knockout stage matches start.

I think this season might be the season where one of PSG or City will win the cup. Not because they got better players this season, but because big giant teams like Barca or RMA got hugely nerfed this season as players like Messi, Griezmann, Sergio Ramos, Varane left their respective teams and they will suffer because of this.

On the other hand, City this season looks solid - teamwise and playstyle-wise. Their chemistry looks spot on and if Guardiola can lead them match by match, I think they have a greater chance.
Ramos' and Varane's departures don't seem to have shaken up Real Madrid a single bit. Maybe for Barcelona. They have been doing so badly they even had to end up in Europa but let's not rule out other brilliant side like Bayern Munich, Defending champions Chelsea, Liverpool etc

Having great players in a team will not automatically make Liverpool win a difficult match. Inter will never be easy to beat because they also have the same desire to qualify for the next round. Leverpool are the favourite, but Inter could turn their party into something bad. Everyone can predict anything, but anything can happen. I'm still hesitating to decide who deserve to go through, it's really a tough choice, but Liverpool are definitely good.

A lot will of course depend on the draw but also the current form of the player, the Covid situation etc.
Liverpool may not be the main favorite to win this year's Champions League, but neither was Chelsea last year, and we know what happened in the end.
Manchester City, PSG, Bayern and Real are probably the main favorites in this competition but it would be a mistake to underestimate the chances of Liverpool and Chelsea.
This competition is always very uncertain and often the luck factor is very important.

These teams are the highly favoured ones for the championship indeed. Especially PSG and Manchester City are seen as one step ahead by many people now. Manchester City were really close to making it in the last season but couldn't leave the Chelsea obstacle behind also. They will do their best to finish the job this time. And PSG have a much stronger lineup now as they have added Messi too. I would really like to see a final game between them.

This is also true. Last year, no one expected Chelsea to reach the final, and in addition to going to the final, they won the competition!
Despite that, this year I think they have less chance. Especially because Manchester City and Bayern in particular are very strong this season.

Liverpool have a tough draw against Inter actually. Maybe Inter aren't one of the favourite teams of the title but they are still a dangerous team. Their performance in this season also is very good as we can understand from their place in the Serie A too. They aren't doing bad in the Champions League also which should be enough to be a warning to Liverpool. But I still expect Liverpool to eliminate them.
Inter are in a solid form this season. They have a great squad also, and can't probably be beaten easily in a match. On the other hand is Liverpool, also a strong team. This match will indeed be interesting. I guess Inter might resist Liverpool in a first leg which they will be hosting on the 16th of next month. But, I don't think Inter can still resist Liverpool in the 2nd leg. Anyway, let me not be quick to judge because the round 16 will be full of surprises. Nevertheless, Am quite sure that many goals will be scored.
 

Champions league matches are usually full of goals. Both Inter and Liverpool are very good in terms of offensive line. I think Liverpool are the favorites in this matchup now. They will put up a good fight at Inter. However, football is played so well in the Premier League that it is more enjoyable than the Champions League. Liverpool are currently playing good matches in the Premier League as well. In terms of staff quality, they are more successful compared to Inter.

Now they will try their best to win the Champions League title. And compared to any other team in the Champions League, Liverpool's performance is very good. They have won all the matches of the group stage. And they will be completely confident of winning the next match against Inter Milan. Liverpool will win if key players are not injured before this match.

Despite Liverpool playing well and having had an excellent performance in the Champions League, I have many doubts that they will be able to reach the final and fight for the victory.

I really appreciated Sporting's performance in the group stage. Because I assume that most of us expected Ajax and Dortmund to advance to last 32 round. But Sporting made people surprised by moving Dortmund out of their way. But I reckon that this is the end of the road for Sporting definitely. Because they have a matchup against one of the favourites of the title now which is Manchester City. I reckon that Manchester City will beat them in both matches and continue.

Both team consistent on domestic league exactly for Inter Milan playing well on Serie A success lead first standing position give more motivate against with Liverpool, but never forget with Liverpool glory on champion league in this season success get all winning on stage group make them most confidence than Inter Milan as runner up standing pass to next stage after twice moment loss from Real Madrid as home and away. I think Liverpool will lead to next stage although Inter Milan have impressive performance on Serie A is not enough to defeat Liverpool on champion league.

Liverpool are playing well in the Premier League. But they are far from the title. Their points difference with Manchester City is 11. Perhaps maybe Liverpool will have to give up hope of winning the Premier League title.

I have no doubt in my mind that Liverpool can not only beat Inter, but they can go on to win the champions league title too because of Klopp and the strong squad he has at his disposal. Lastly while Inter has played remarkably well this season, but Liverpool are very strong and Inter will have to completely raise their standards to beat this Liverpool team.

I love the champions league football so much, it’s unpredictability is insane, whenever there is a fixture, you know you’d be expecting exciting drama, and for me I think Real Madrid are in the best position to win it. They are a good team with a great manager and good players with a lot of champions league experience. They know what to do at some certain point in time, the likes of L. modric and T. Kross (midfield mastero) are familiar with playing UCL competition

Atletico Madrid - Manchester United draw is going to be an interesting one too. There is still more than one month to go for the current round to start of course. But we can still make some predictions considering the current conditions of these teams. And I see that they are both in a similar condition now. They both are still struggling in their domestic league matches. So it is really hard to see any of these teams as a favourite. But in my opinion, Manchester United can still be considered one step ahead.
