But I think the loss of Lewandowski is more important for Bayern than Florenzi and Verratti for PSG.

Bayern Munich will have to make it work with Choupo-Moting instead but this player is definitely not a reliable striker and only 2 goals out of 5 performances. If somehow Bayern Munich win this one, its probably going to be a very tight game with a one lucky goal . I personally think that Bayern Munich will focus on Muller, Sane and Coman to do the scoring instead of relying on Striker like they used to do with Lewandowski

Like I wrote Borussia was not able to win against a fantastic City but they were able to score one goal whcih could be a major threat if we think about the next game in Dortmund.

Nah, Manchester City is on fire this season. Dortmund cant stop them

Champions League is the true goal of Manchester City this season, the one that it's been pursuing for almost a decade and to win CL City's management decided to hire, five years ago, one of the most successful and revolutionary coaches in history.
I don't see Borussia stopping Guardiola's boys! Can't wait to watch the game!

Like I wrote Borussia was not able to win against a fantastic City but they were able to score one goal whcih could be a major threat if we think about the next game in Dortmund.
Tonight I'm about to watch Porto Chelsea and since it looks like a very difficult game for both of the teams I decided not to bet.
If I could make a bet without hurting myself I'd say that Chelsea's gonna win by one goal.

Everybody could have guessed that City would beat Dortmund that was a given result. However liverpool keeps playing horrible as well, even on champions league this time, they got dominated by Real last night. I really hope they find their footing and become better but I do not really have too much hope about it neither. At the end of the day we are talking about one of the most expensive teams in the world and they are both 7th in their own league and they are losing champions league as well, they might really have historically bad season next year.

Today will probably be Bayern and Chelsea wins, of course we can't know for sure but first game is in Germany so I am guessing Bayern probably has better chance and even though Porto managed to come thus far, I still think Chelsea is a much better team. Time will tell, I hope I win these.
Its a difficult match to predict the winner from both teams have good squads but Bayern Munich have the better momentum and more experienced in this competition as they haven't lost a Champions League game in their last 19 matchs but they are vulnerable with key absentees here.
PSG still feel that they are destined to win this trophy and after coming so close last season they are getting nearer to achieving that goal. Any team that has Neymar and Kylian Mbappe leading the line is worth backing. I'm wondering if Bayern will still have enough defensively to hold PSG off. Although Pochettino doesn't exactly have the best experiences of Playing against Bayern. So I'm going with BTTS to bet on.

The odds are very clear, although I see the game more balanced than the odds represent. Bayern has to do without Lewandowski, but PSG also has two strong absences due to Corona infections: Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Verratti. But I think the loss of Lewandowski is more important for Bayern than Florenzi and Verratti for PSG.
Neymar and Mbappe are the players Bayern Munchen should watch out for. Both of them have scored 6 goals in the Champions League so far and Bayern Munchen must be aware of the two PSG players if they don't want to get the disaster that Barcelona experienced before. I don't expect PSG to make so many mistake that they fail to win the match. If at this stage they fail, then there's no point beating Barcelona by a big score. Losing Lewandowski will mean a lot to Munchen.


I did NOT expect such a weak game from Liverpool. Or Real Madrid played so that did not let Liverpool show their strength. It seems that Klopp has big problems with the team. But they still have a chance. 2 goals can be won back.
The second leg is Liverpool's last chance to qualify, but I think it will be very difficult. Real Madrid have already stepped one foot in the next round.

Bayern Munich 1.90 and PSG 3.60 at the time of writing, it is not only Lewandowski who is injured and at least there are other players who are similar at this opportunity not to play. Bayern Munich are still favorites to win and I'm not sure, because it looks like the match will end in a draw or even PSG take this chance to win.

Yes, Bayern Munich without Robert Lewandowski and some of his players have already contracted Covid and this could be good news for Paris Saint-Germain, and although PSG will take advantage of that, it looks like the match will end in a draw.
and Bayern Munich will strengthen its defense, and besides that Bayern are still at their best and have the advantage of playing at home, I will watch this match and it will be a very interesting game.

At first I thought that too especially when I remembered PSG hitting Barcelona later against Munich without mainstay players PSG should be able to repeat the past success unfortunately I doubt choosing PSG to win I will choose the safer option.

Not your keys, not your coins!
As the host, Mancity still outperformed them to be able to control their attack and defense, but indeed at the end that always hurts Phil Foden was able to reply with a win so there are still points to defend from Mancity next weekend.
Manchester City control the match but they did not have big win at the home stadium. In the next week home-away second leg, they will have to face with Dortmund with 100% of desire. Foden missed few great opportunities to score that can make him and Manchester City regret with aggregated result.

Quote
Indeed Hallaand at very high he should be able to finish the task with his good header but it is very difficult I saw the game of Mancity more aggressive last night and Dortmund a little overwhelmed, even though the result won but the possibility of revenge for BVB can still happen.
Haaland did not have an impressive match but in the moment he beats Ruben Dias, he shows his power. Ederson saved that shot from Haaland but I am impressed with that moment from Haaland.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Manchester City was even lucky they managed to win the game. It would not be a strange story if Dortmund would have take the victory.
But a 2-1 defeat is still fine for Dortmund. 1-0 win is enough to advance to the next round.

^  It wasn’t luck.  It’s not like they didn’t try to win the match or they didn’t have enough fire power over BVB.  Anyway, the thing I got out from the match was I didn’t really know that Haaland looks so damn tall on the pitch.  It seemed like he was taller than the defenders.  Cheesy

Yesterday game between manchester city and Borussia Dortmund was as interesting as anticipated, breathtaking game filled with every features a game of that magnitude should posses. We saw some nice passes from the ever reliable kevin De bruyne not forgetting this action in match when Haaland muscles Ruben Dias before forcing a save from Ederson, Haaland got all the attributes required of a modern attacker Dias is one of the strongest defender in the premier league but he couldn't contain the enigmatic Haaland. I feel Ederson was lucky to go away from that incidence that saw him loose the ball to Jude Bellingham ,that was a 50-50 situation and luckily the decision went his way. The game ending at 2-1 implies there's still all to play for in the second leg at signal Iduna park so we can even expect a more interesting and fascinating game of football.

It was a nice game to watch. After some point, City increased their dangerous attacks. But Dortmund still managed to find important goal chances and scored one. Haaland couldn't benefit from an absolute goal chance but made a nice assist to Reus. It was really like Dortmund were getting the draw but Foden didn't let it happen. Gundogan passed the ball in front of him and he didn't make a mistake by finishing it nicely. Still, I don't see the 2-1 score as a big advantage for City. It looks like their job will be quite hard in Signal Iduna Park.

I think it will be a draw, with a slight advantage for PSG.


Porto vs Chelsea
Chelsea are more likely to win, but Porto will not make it easy. If I finish 1-0 for Chelsea or 1-1, I would not be surprised.

Will be?
They can't always win, but I don't see that City is "so much better" now than in previous games to finally beat Borussia.
Borussia is also very well placed in Group E with just one defeat compared to City.
I'll not play against the odds, I am still deciding... but I'l bet at most on a City draw.
I also wouldn't say they will continue to win, but their consistency at UCL this season is to be reckoned with. I hope you haven't made a mistake tonight in making choice. I think you have big hope if a draw is an option.

I was convinced believing in a draw...
Borussia started playing very well, but after the first goal City dominated the first half.
With a more balanced second half between the teams, I doubled my bet in a draw, and then I hastily celebrated my "beautiful bet" when I saw Reus' goal in the 39th minute.
Tongue Well, I don't need to say anything else.

Now I need to make up for the loss.

Real showed yesterday how easy it is to play through Phillips and Kabak (and Arnold as well).

I don't think the issue for Liverpool is the players. Obviously van Dijk is a big absence, but still, he's not the whole team.
Liverpool's big problem is confidence. They got into a bad place this season, and the confidence nose-dived. It doesn't matter who you pick for the team, when morale is that low.
The main thing that is beating Liverpool at the moment is their own collective mental state.

Of course, the absence of the defender, Van Dijk greatly affected the background lines, which helped Zidane to take advantage of the situation by recruiting players appropriately, and despite the absence of Ramos and Baran, he managed to achieve victory. This does not mean that Liverpool is out of the game. Rather, Klopp can reunite the ranks and fight there in the second leg. The competition is still going on for Liverpool!!!


I think PSG will take advantage of Bayern Munich injury list, it's going to be very interesting match to watch but I believe Bayarrn can't so it alone without Lewa and Gnabry upfront. Chelsea is in good shape right now and should win Porto easily
Of course, Chile has a great chance to beat FC Porto, but the match between Paris and Bayern is difficult to predict who will win. Let's continue watching the match. I think it will be a difficult game for both clubs and exciting at the same time. Perhaps the result of a draw is worth the bet. Wink

This is what I do. I drink and I know things.
Real showed great football yesterday and earned me some money! I liked the Man City vs Borussia match better, though! Grin

Me too! Both Real and Man City did what I expected. Win their matches and both to conceded a goal. Grin
I only miss Dortmund's scorer but still, I'm on the winning side.

IMO today's matches are more difficult to predict but I will go for both teams to score in both games and maybe for Porto's win... Tongue

I also think PSG will win today's match. But the performances of PSG's star players Neymar, Mbappe, and DiMaria against Lille were disappointing. But Lewandowski is in injury, psg will take the opportunity very well. I don't think PSG will be able to reach the semi-finals if they don't win this match.

But what makes me confused is why the odds for PSG to win are so high the gambling market suggests that Munich will win
@1.9 Munich vs @3.7 PSG this is really confusing , will there be any surprises in this match?
