Tonight, Manchester United vs Villarreal match could be a really interesting one. Because these two teams played against each other in the Europa League final in the last season. And Villarreal were the side to win in the final game and reach the Europa League title. Now, we see these two teams are in the same group in the Champions League. What a coincidence! Manchester United are the outweighing side of course and I think that they will be victorious.
I also agree with you, although in last year's europa final Vilareal was defeated by Vilareal, but I am very sure that tonight's meeting manchester united is able to avenge them, and is able to bring home the three points, and I am also very sure that manchester united is able to step into the round big 16..

Real Madrid 1 - 2 Sheriff
What?! I thought it was easy money, but this ending just kills.

the match that I think is one of the unexpected matches Smiley because I made a prediction that real madrid can win easily against this team but in fact my prediction was wrong.
even real madrid is not like real madrid usually and very bad in playing in this match.
on the other hand the sheriffs played quite impressively and even they were able to maximize the chances and mistakes made by the madrid defenders.
I really respect this team Smiley

I hope this small (and for a team like Real is big) series of failures will lead to the fact that in the next match the odds for the victory of Real will be unreasonably high and it will be possible to make a profitable bet (recently, such a situation was with Barcelona, when in a home match with an outsider the odds were 1.5 and it was really easy money).

In fact I just heard this season about the Sheriff. I think Madrid can win easily, this is bad. Madrid made great possession of the ball but lost the scor. Madrid doesn't seem to have the creativity to damage the Sheriff's defense. With 3 shots on target Sheriff was able to make two goals, more effective than Madrid with 11 shots on target only 1 goal.

This match showed that Real Madrid's defense is much weaker this season. There is no much stronger team in LaLiga, so it is not clear how weak Real Madrid's defense is. Sheriff Tiraspol made just 4 shots, of which they scored 2 goals. The sheriff has attacked 62 times while Real Madrid has attacked 159 times. Then Madrid was defeated. They have to take steps to strengthen the defense from now on. Otherwise, they will not win any match in the next round.
Obviously the Defense is not really poor, but no club will lose their best center backs in one season. They Militao is a young defender and he’s improving well. Alaba is not a pure center back. Ancelotti is trying to give him a new role by introducing him at the center of the back. He will take time to master there, although he played there in Bayern sometime before his departure to Madrid. The last goal from Sheriff Tiraspol was a thunder strike. You don’t expect any Goalkeeper or a defender to have stopped that. Since Ancelotti came to Madrid, Casemiro has been very poor and I don’t know why. Maybe he has not been alone in the midfield without his suited duo of Modrić and Toni Kroos. It might take time for Ancelotti to integrate the new signings into the team.

Yes, PSG played well. It needed patience to execute perfectly. Some of the  PSG players especially Donnarumma, Mbappe, Idrissa, Verratti were very superb in the game.
Veratti help PSG to escape the pressing pressure from Manchester City. He helped PSG did not totally lose control in midfield and Pep even has to say compliment to Veratti. That match help PSG to get more confidence to win Champions League in this season. Now they can begin match in Champions League with the strong belief that they can win top clubs in Europe.

Real Madrid - Sheriff match ended by a very shocking result. Real Madrid lost to their opponent by 2-1 home. This must be a very embarrassing loss for them as Sheriff are not even a hard opponent. Real Madrid actually dominated the match from the start to the end. But still Sheriff benefited from their few goal chances and somehow managed to win here. Their goalkeeper especially was great and had a big role in the win. And their second goal was also marvelous.
One of two goals frm Sheriff was scored by Yakhshibaev, a player from Asia, in Uzbekistan. Benzema scored an equalizer for Real Madrid but it is not enough for them to come back and get three points. The late goal from Sheriff makes the shock result.

About Yakhshibaev, he is a player from U23 Uzbekistan which won the U23 tournament years ago. He is the most successful player from that U23 squad. Uzbekistan is a strong national team in Asia. They have a player who plays for AS Roma in Serie A, Eldor Shomurodov

Shakhtar and Inter drew 0-0 but both teams had their chances to score. Inter had couple of chances right at the end of the game. notably it's 3rd 0-0 draw between this teams in a row.
I have to say that Inter Milan were very average out there in terms of finishing off chances. They had many especial opportunities and they were very wasteful. One thing about this competition is that, you have to pick up your points because you don’t know your next results. the same time.  Shakhtar dominated possession, pushing all forward throughout the second half and had Skriniar made a miraculous block on Pedrinho from a yard. They’ve only gotten a point now from two games. They need to scale up because Sheriffs is on top and not looking like dropping points anytime soon.

Man United is not in good shape.

I've said it a few times, but I'm not sure Ronaldo was a great signing. He will certainly add goals, but he's not the sort of player who is fully involved for 90 minutes. If you are wanting to be a top team, then you cannot afford any weaknesses. Man United had weaknesses, and signing Ronaldo won't reduce them. He adds to the team, but not in the right area.

Tonight will be a great chance for Man U to take revenge for losing the Europa League final! And I think the Red Devils will take that chance at home! But to be honest, both clubs have been underperforming of late, so it's hard to decide a winner... It could be a draw!

Yes, Man United is not in good shape. 2 consecutive defeats against Aston Villa in the Premier League and West Ham in the Carabao Cup are proof that Man United's performance is dropping. The match against Villarreal will be tough because Man United will play without Harry Maguire who is currently injured, and Wan Bissaka who got a red card.

However, crowd behavior will be an advantage for Man United and I think Man United definitely doesn't want to lose 3 times in a row. If Man United can put pressure on Villarreal early on, then they will most likely win this game.

Juventus situation for the evening.

They have 4 strikers, 3 are injured  Angry

Source: https://twitter.com/juventusfc/status/1443175833183662085

Kean is the only available striker so I think Kean should maximize this opportunity to show that he is worth to be one of important players for Juventus.
If Kean is unable to do his job well, there is no other ways for Allegri except to rely on his midfielder such as Chiesa, Kulusevski, and Locatelli.
It is not good situation for Juventus obviously as they have to play without their main strikers against a team as caliber as Chelsea.

In Search of Incredible
September 29, 2021, 08:44:16 AM
Well, our expectations doesn't always come out in football and this game has so many uncertainties about it. Both teams are really good, super good if you ask me. The odds might just be right, who knows...
My expectation wasn't wrong. PSG won the match by scoring two goals, where Messi scored his first goal in PSG kit. I had my bet on PSG at 3× odds and it was a winning one Cheesy. The odds was proven wrong in several matches yesterday. Win of PSG wasn't surprising but the win of Sheriff against Real Madrid was unexpected.

Incredible! Sheriff have defeated Read Madrid away!
I actually had Sheriff to win on Superbru, too bad I didn't make an actual gamble on them since I spent a ton of money at other places. What a winning return that would've been. Cool
Elsewhere - PSG beat City (I had that too), and LFC beat Porto (of course).
And how it would be when someone place a multi bet on these higher odds and win it! Someone placed a multi bet on LFC, PSG, Club Brugge and Sheriff win at Stake.com. And the outcome was like that

(BTW, this bet image is also posted by Stake representative in their ANN, see here.)

Juventus - Chelsea is one of the nice games of the week seemingly. In my opinion, Chelsea are the favourite team in this game. Juventus have been struggling in general recently. They can barely win against even the weakest teams of the Serie A. And I don't think that there will be too much changing in this tough game against Chelsea. Maybe Chelsea lost to Manchester City by 1-0 last but I don't expect them to lose their game discipline here. They will be very eager to defeat Juventus even if they are going to play away. Therefore, I'm expecting Chelsea to win this game by at least one goal.

Taking into account that Dybala and Morata are injured and will miss the match with Chelsea, it can be assumed that Chelsea will at least play a clean draw. As I see from the odds, the bookmakers strongly doubt that Juventus will play at least a draw:
4,10 - 3,55 - 1,95
I wonder if the bookmakers will adjust the odds or is it already adjusted? Has anyone followed the history of odds changes in this pair?

Now I see the odds like:

Juventus : 3.75  Draw : 3.10  Chelsea : 2.18

Chelsea are still the favourite side of course. And I've just learned that Dybala and Morata both are injured and will not play in this game. This is a big loss for Juventus in their offensive line. I'm expecting them to have even bigger difficulties against Chelsea tonight. Chelsea will fight really hard for a win I believe but the probability of a draw is of course not low. Whatever happens, I'm pretty sure that Chelsea won't lose this game.

Juventus really have a very unfavorable situation right now, apart from their inconsistent performances earlier this season, Juventus also had to lose Alvaro Morata (hamstring) and Paulo Dybala (injury) in the match against Chelsea, whereas these two players were key Juventus players this season after the departure of ronaldo, the same fate too experienced by chelsea, kante (covid), Mason Mount (injury), Christian Pulisic (injury) and also Reece James (injury).
Even though both teams are in a limp condition, but the match will definitely run quite fiercely and I personally predict if chelsea will win in that match.

Sheriff is a top club! Grin
In fact, I don't even understand how they managed to beat Real Madrid away! This day will be remembered by all of Moldova for a long time! Cheesy
I was so shocked that it took me some time to post.
the saddest, ball possession:
Real Madrid = 76%
Sheriff = 24%
Real Madrid defense is not good, and the attack only depends on Benzema, without Benzema they are confused, if Real Madrid had a player like Mbappe to play alongside benzema and had more good players in defense at this time they could be prepared to win the Champions League

That was a poor performance from Real Madrid. They lacked the defensive structure and also were not able to find the final pass into the opponent's third of the park. The only goal also came from a penalty from Benzema. I think Carlo Anchelloti made a big mistake by making Fede and Camavinga play in the wingback position at the later parts of the game. They already don't have a good defense without Ramos and Varane and using these two as wingback is not a good idea.
No place for panic in Madrid camp. Champions league is their playground and I am sure they will be good in knockout stages. They underestimated Sherif and lost a game, group stage allows for couple of mistakes so no big deal. Last season they were doing poorly at the start as well.

Now that’s a finish!  That’s something City needs right now.  A proper finisher and a guy who can take it from outside the box.  KDB should quit being a soy boy and man up.  These guys aren’t worth the money they got spent on imo.  Tends to become very stale in the attacking third.  Again IMHO.
Pep is a well-regarded coach, but he misread one aspect of the match yesterday in Paris. Grealish and Sterling should have been substituted very early on in the second half, if not at half time with Foden and Jesus respectively. De Bruyne was also not at his best today. KDB was so disappointing, he played exactly just like a coward..losing the ball every time and can’t attack..He must not play as a striker at all. It’s him and Sterling they were not supposed to play from half time. He’s just returning from injury and haven’t found his form yet. Man City was still the better team of the two. They cannot be counted yet at all.

Yesterdays matchday really had some great games to watch and also delivered a huge surprise with the win of tiraspol against real in Madrid. I guess no one expected that to happen and every tiraspol Fan that betted a few bucks on the win of his team for fun has made some nice profit now. It just became obvious that this real team is just not the same as it was a few years ago. Just like Barcelona they had to sell important players for financial reasons and yesterday we saw the result of that.
A really unexpected result and especially after the last win away against inter true they lost some players and are performing worse in the last two season but they still manage to be at top in laliga they should focus on that considering they dont have many players to compete in different competitions.

also i see villarreal with some chances at manchaster united...

Tonight will be a great chance for Man U to take revenge for losing the Europa League final! And I think the Red Devils will take that chance at home! But to be honest, both clubs have been underperforming of late, so it's hard to decide a winner... It could be a draw!
