And it is match day! We have got an interesting draw between Ferencvaros and Young Boys. In the first leg, Young Boys barely managed to get a win by 3-2. Ferencvaros had a really great performance back then. And Young Boys have a really tough job to do away. Actually, Young Boys are a much more powerful team than their opponent. I would expect a bigger effort than them. It's the CL we are talking about in the end. But I still believe in them that they will get a draw here at least and qualify for the group stage.
Tomorrow is the PSV-Benfica return match... Who has any thoughts on that?
Judging from the last match PSV have a chance of winning... They had many unrealised chances, but Benfica were stronger... It would be great if PSV could score 2 or 3 goals, but I think Benfica will play in defence... Anyway, it should be an interesting and tense match!

Physically, PSV is a more resistant team and in that sense, they will be able to put up with more time doing persuasion. Benfica, on the other hand, has less physical resistance. This gives an opportunity for PSV to try to leverage this to their advantage.
Therefore, Benfica should present a more consistent team in the midfield, try not to wear out too much at the beginning, and make better use of their attacks.
It will certainly be a good football game, and very balanced.
Today's second legs at a glance.
In most of the games everything is still possible, for me only the surprises in the first round Malmö and Dinamo Zagreb are fixed in the Champions League group stage.
Today it should normally also Benfica (I think the better team than PSV) in the next round, Ferencvaros and Young boys is difficult to assess, but I think Ferencvaros even if they are rather unknown have a small advantage. Malmö will not let themselves take the promotion I think more.
Some really intresting matches today. I think everybody will watch PSV vs Benfica match and i think PSV will be able to qualify for the next round,also expecting big number of goals in the Ferencvaros vs Young boys match

The advantage is clearly at Benfica side, as they have already won the last game and just need a tie for the next one. But as Benfica's coacher said, they can't waste the opportunity of scoring, because the opponent PSV is a tough team that can score at any time, so it's better to guarantee at least a goal to difficult the game for PSV. To play only defensively isn't a safe strategy and the coacher knows this.Judging from the last match PSV have a chance of winning... They had many unrealised chances, but Benfica were stronger... It would be great if PSV could score 2 or 3 goals, but I think Benfica will play in defence... Anyway, it should be an interesting and tense match!
The positive points for PSV are: they will be playing at home and Benfica will be under severe psychological pressure for this reason and also because they were eliminated on this stage during the previous season. The responsability is huge.
PSV and Benfica are almost the same quality team. The first match was Benfica's home match. They won 2-1. However, the players of both teams performed well. Although no team could attack too much. However, the PSV 2nd leg match is their home match. They will definitely get one more facility on their own field.

Well, Monaco so far leaves lot of questions. They lost their first two Ligue 1 games to complete underdogs and failed to score. So, loss against Shakhtar wasn't something exceptional.
But before this game, there is 3 games tomorrow.
PSV - Benfica is most interesting. But I don't understand why PSV are so clearly favoured by bookmakers - odds for their win 1.85. For me it's a bit strange.
Ludogorets - Malmo. Ludogorets played terrible in first game. Even if they will improve, I don't see them making comeback.
Ferencvaros - Young Boys. Boys are favorites, but I think about small stake on Ferencvaros win and they will send game to extra time.

If you guess right, you will get a good profit) Personally, for some reason, it seems to me that Monaco will win, but Shakhtar will advance to the next round (I don't know from the results of extra time or penalty shootout). I will think about making a bet during the match, I think a lot will become clear in the first half.
I think bookmakers are a bit misled by Monaco's last season. I watched a few summaries and there were very often extremely close games with the lucky end for Monaco. Just assume that 5 or 6 games do not turn out to be positively ending for Monaco and you can place them a couple of spots down the table. It was very rare that they had a strong win with like solid 3 - 1 or whatever, you know what I mean. Everything worked out perfectly for them. I am not sure what the squad looks like for Donetsk right now, but they aren't easy to beat for a team like Monaco. Also, Donetsk plays at home. Doesn't look very well for Monaco.
Monaco was defeated 0-2 in the last round of the national championship, I think this is another argument in favor of the bookmakers overestimating this team. Perhaps Monaco was saving strength before the return match with Shakhtar, but given the weakness of the opponent and such a weak result, I am starting to think that Shakhtar can also win the second match in this confrontation.
Yes although I don't really know much about the squad of Shakhtar, they usually have been a team that played very strong counter attacks. They don't even need to win and can now just wait for their perfect chances in a game where Monaco has to score. My bet would be that Shakhtar takes this home. I would say 75 : 25 for them.

Dinamo Zagreb are one of the surprising team of this round. They got a very surprising result Sheriff Tiraspol, 3-0. We've watched Dinamo Zagreb play in the Champions League for a long time. But this time it seems like they are in a really big trouble. It will be very hard for them to turn things around but it is not impossible. They must fully focus on the rematch to have a chance for the group stage.
In such a situation I think it is difficult for Dinamo Zagreb to comeback in the second leg because even, in the previous few matches Dinamo Zagreb was not so enthusiastic about getting a big win. Yes, maybe it's because only winning by a low margin can still save him, but in this situation I'm sure it will be very different and difficult to win big even though playing at home. Because Sheriff Tiraspol will certainly do his best and when a team already has a goal to play defensively, it is difficult to thwart. Indeed, Dinamo Zagreb can still win at home, but his victory will not qualify him this time.Dinamo is a better team and they have a lot more European experience, but obviously the psychological preparation and preparation of the match was not good.
Dinamo also started badly in the Croatian football championship and it is obvious that his players are not yet fully ready for all football competitions.
Last year, Dinamo managed to beat Tottenham 3-0 and come back after a big defeat in the first game, but I think that this result will be much harder to achieve this time, since Dinamo is not yet at the right playing level.
Maybe it is better for Dinamo to qualify for a weaker European league because in that league they will have a better chance of passing the group.
The goal PSV scored against Benfica was very valuable for them. Because now they have more chance to turn the tables in this draw. But it is seen clearly that PSV have a tough job to do against Benfica. I feel myself closer to Benfica in this draw. Maybe they won 2-1 which was not too advantageous. But they can still get at least a draw in the second leg.

My guess is Monaco's next match will be a draw. They will draw 1-1. And I'm interested in betting on it. Maybe Monaco is preferred by bookies. But I don't think so. My guess is that Shakhtar will go to the next round. Wait and see what will happen. I may lose the bet, but I will feel free to place the bet as per my choice.
Monaco didn't manage the match, hard to get the winner on Shakhtar home, I will bet Shakhta. Monaco lost yesterday (0-2, Lens) in a home!. that could be a problem with strategy and formation, 3 games ( 1 draw and 2 lost). Monaco as I remembered created a wonder kid Mbappe, monaco create champions Ligue 1 either, and semifinals champions league in 2017 but now that club is stuck on underboard. maybe they lost the capital and can't develop since Ranieri left the club. The team has not been stable so far this season. Must be stable for good performance. Shakhtar is not a weak team, they need a good performance to win against them. However, in the 2nd leg, Monaco will definitely want to win. If Shakhtar makes any mistake in the match, they will be defeated. Monaco has not played well this season but they are an experienced team. Above all, we will have the opportunity to enjoy a competitive match.

Monaco will not win the next match against Shakhtar Donetsk. They can draw the match. Shakhtar likes defensive play. As I have seen in previous matches, when they scored 1 goal Shakhtar did not make any special attempt to attack. They wanted to win 1-0 and they were able to. They will follow the same strategy in the next match.
How strong is your confidence? At the moment, bookmakers give the following odds for the outcome of this match:
3,00 - 3,35 - 2,33
If you are completely sure that Monaco will not be able to win, then by placing a bet on the two remaining outcomes, you can easily get 50% of the profit. But judging by the odds given by the bookmakers, they rate Monaco as a favorite (as well as in the first match where they made a serious mistake).
I also know that the Monaco team is good enough. But the team is not in good form now. So my doubt is whether they will be able to perform well in the next match. They have lost 3 matches in a row. They also lost against Lens yesterday. And since the next match is the home match for Shakhtar Donetsk. So I am putting the Shakhtar team ahead.
