I was surprised to see Monaco lose the game.
I wasn't expecting Dinamo to lose either, on top of that by 3-0. The Sheriff should have his entry into the Champions almost guaranteed.

seriously tho, i lost a free bet because of them  Sad  at least Bayern winning the super cup will soften the blow (i had a betbuilder at 2.5 odds)...And, I agree, game over for Dinamo

Did not watch any of the games today but really surprised with Dinamo loosing 3:0. Not game over yet, if they managed to turn 2:0 from Spurs they can turn 3:0 from Serif for sure. By the way did you guys knew that Dinamo player couldn't play today because the did not let him in the country? He is from Kososvo and Moldova does not recognize them as sovereign country. I couldn't believe stuff like this is happening, sports and politics should not mix.

Funny how we all see matches differently, I was sure Dortmund is winning today and I was sure S. Donetsk is not loosing today. In the end positive 0 for me.

I'm also surprised with such a high defeat of Dinamo.
So far they have had very good and safe performances in Europe and this is an unexpected result.
However,  in the past Dinamo had big problems with this opponent in European competitions, although they mostly won  in their mutual matches in the past.
Dinamo now needs a miracle in the return match and the match they played against Tottenham happens once in a life time so I'm not optimist.

I must say that Monaco got a really shocking result against Shakhtar Donetsk today. The match was in Monaco but they lost 0-1. I think that they are actually a much better team than Shakhtar. But something must really be going wrong for them lately. They couldn't start the Ligue 1 well either. It looks like they can be eliminated by Shakhtar in the CL if they don't pull themselves together immediately.

As I expected, Shakhtar Donetsk and Red  Bull Salzburg won their match. And I won my bet. I agree with you that Monaco is a good team. But their defeat was expected. I have been watching for quite some time, they have no rhythm. I said it would be hard for Dinamo to win the match, but I thought they would be managed to win. But they have been defeated in a very bad way. They lost 3-0. I expected better gameplay from them.

An unpredictable match between Benfica - PSV, in my view these two teams are on the same level so they are both favourites. Despite looking at the head to head and other factors, I still can't decide who will win but even so, maybe they will still score. So is betting on both teams to score a good idea, or do you have a strong prediction on which team will win?

I'm strongly considering to place a max bet on the rematch in Zagreb on both teams to score (odds will probably range between 1.7 to 1.8x). On one hand, you have a desperate team that needs to score three or more goals, a team with European experience, and enough quality players to keep it interesting and score one or two goals at the least. Then there's Sheriff, playing direct football with lots of pace and is extremely dangerous on counter-attacks. Given that Dinamo must attack from the start, there will be so many chances next week that i can't see the Croats keeping a clean sheet.

Cristiano, who is this guy? He started as a right-back for Sheriff before switching to the left in the second half, he was simply sensational. He could easily play for some of Europe's top clubs, literally the best player nobody has ever heard of.

Wow, Sheriff! 3:0. And Dinamo should be happy that they conceded just 3, Sheriif had plenty of chances to score more. Sorry Croatian folks, but I don't see Dinamo making comeback in 2nd leg.

As I said, Monaco's chances were overestimated, or rather, Shakhtar was underestimated. It is difficult to say that the result is completely logical (if the match ended 1-1, it would more accurately reflect the situation on the pitch), but nevertheless, Shakhtar won an important victory and now hopefully they will not lose at home. The return game will be even more interesting as Monaco will be forced to attack and Shakhtar will be able to increase their advantage on counterattacks.

completely underestimated sheriff's chances, it will be a difficult comeback for dinamo to say the least.
i managed to break a little above even by going for a salzburg win at the start of the second half, the odds were around 2.2, although I had to sweat it out until the last moments of the match.

I wouldn't call Shakhtar win as big surprise. Maybe bookmakers understimated them too much. Maybe draw would reflect game better, but still, 2nd leg game will be very interesting.
Most of us expected easy Salzburg win, but it was difficult, they were losing 0:1, but managed to win 2:1.

You mean Salzburg  Wink
Oh yeah, thanks for correcting me Cheesy.

after the draw, we had all news about potential Dinamo - Crvena Zvezda match in Balkans, but it seems that Sheriff will make hard time for Dinamo after kicking-out Zvezda from Champions League
so, eventually, match could be played in Europa league

@buwaytress, have you put money on the line for Brondby, they delivered HT2 in Salzburg, congrats if you did, nice guess

There are already a few top-class games today,



There are already a few top-class games today,

Monaco against Donetsk is probably the most competitive match today, but tomorrow also PSV against Benfica will be very interesting. As an Austrian, I'm rooting for RB Salzburg even though I'm not really a fan of Salzburg, but it would be important points for the 5-year ranking. For the Champions League group stage there are bonus points.

A little off topic, but the evening today is really very rich in football, in addition to these matches, the match for the German Super Cup between the two principal rivals Borrusia and Bavaria will take place almost in parallel. I expect an interesting game and taking into account the fact that in recent years Borrusia very often beat Bayern in the Super Cup, this will be a fundamental confrontation.

is there a market for home win and draw, home win is at @1.15, what could it be for win and draw
nevertheless, Brondby should be an easy step for Salzburg, that should be their third CL group stage in a row

Dinamo is much more interesting for me, but would play it above @2, so I am left with playing Monaco to qualify, which is not certain, but Monaco should pass through Shakhtar

Salzburg is a very strong team, they must decide the issue of reaching the next stage right now, in the first match. I think Salzburg will be able to score 2 or 3 goals today. As for Monaco, I don't know, it's difficult to predict, Shakhtar is a good team, maybe there will be a draw today. I don't think Monaco will just beat Shakhtar today.

My guess is that Dinamo Zagreb, Shakhtar Donetsk and Red Bull will win today. Although Monaco is not a bad team, Shakhtar is more stable than them. Salzburg's opponents on the other hand are easy. Hope for an easy win for Salzburg. However, winning Dinamo Zagreb's match today will be a bit difficult. Dinamo would be wrong to think the Sheriff Tiraspol team is an easy team.

looking at the last 3 away games of dinamo zagreb in this year's cl quallies, all wins. it seems that they are very comfortable playing away from home. i also feel the quality is far superior than sheriff's.
i believe a combination of wins for dinamo and salzburg (not much reasoning here) will be my main bet for today's cl games.
best of luck all

Double chance Salzburg win or draw? Though the moneyline is going to be tiny. I fully expect Salzburg to progress to the group stages so that's another bet you can consider taking. Asian total under 4 goals maybe?

Thread title should probably be updated to "now at Playoffs"  Smiley

Leipzig shouldn't have any problems against Brondy.

You mean Salzburg  Wink

I expect to solve all problems in 1st leg already. But I haven't found valuable bet for this game yet. Any ideas?

I think PSV will not lose today.

The Benfica vs PSV game isn't today, it's tomorrow.  Roll Eyes
But we get the idea.

I believe it will be a very balanced game, and maybe even tied with goals. Both teams will do everything to try to enter the Champions League.

Although PSV is starting the season with more goals scored than Benfica, I think that at the squad level Benfica will have better players.

In my opinion, Dinamo is a strong favorite. They might play the 1st game a bit more conservatively though, but still - I'll take these odds.
They weren't really good in their last Euro game, you could see some tiredness in the 2nd period. But Sheriff is a bad team and considering the importance of the game, I feel that Dinamo will want to get a win today.

Football-wise, Monaco-Shakhtar will be the best game today. I have a feeling we'll see a lot of goals there.

Yeah they scraped through on their last leg but I think quality wise, and the desire to qualify, will eventually take them through, if not on regular time then on the next leg, Sheriff shouldn't have progressed I agree.

Monaco Shakhtar is definitely tasty, might even do a betbuilder type on them winning both halves and getting more corners, fewer cards. Should be a 5/1 or somewhat.
