they don't any strikers available so they have to field the same players from the last match against Lokomotiv, and the main reason they couldn't score in that match was the lack of clinical finishing from a proper number 9. Could have the same problem against a tougher defence today

I only have two tickets: Atalanta -2 AHC, i believe this one doesn't need much explanation. And Lokomotiv - Salzburg Over 3 goals. Salzburg play some of the most exciting football in this CL, most of their matches are a goalfest because of their direct attacking style but also because they don't know how to defend so they always concede bunch of goals...I'll be very, very surprised if this match doesn't have at least 3+ goals

Liverpool know they can still afford to draw this to confirm participation but sure, they will probably still want to score goals. But Klopp is Klopp and he will tinker around to find something that works. Ajax to win this looks good value doesn't it? Dusan Tadic penalty maybe, since Liverpool defense keeps giving away penalties?

I think the most interesting group today is that of Real Madrid and Inter.Inter needs this win desperately but is playing against the leader of the group and they also need Real to win in order to get a third place and continue to Europa league.I think it is not possible for them to qualify further in Champions League.

Bets for today:

Atletico vs Bayern and Liverpoool vs Ajax - MY COMBO BET

Borrusia Monchengladbach vs Inter Milan - MY BET

Lokomotiv Moscow vs Salzburg - MY BET

Bayern has already secured advance to play-offs from 1st place in group and A LOT of crucial players won't play today, they already announced that for example Lewandowski and Neuer will pause. On the other hand Atletico needs to win today and they don't have many absences, they are in really good form recently so I'm going for it. When it comes to Liverpool vs Ajax, if Liverpool wins today they will basically secure the advance to the next round, after couple of bad games (Atalanta and Brighton) I think they have to bounce back today so overall I'm doing combo for those both teams to multiply the odds, it should be rather easy bet.

I have already lost faith in Inter when it comes to Champions League matches and I kinda feel they have lost faith in themselves too while Gladbach is on top of their group and today they can secure advance to next stage so I'm betting on them especially when odds are better for Germans.

Odds for Lokomotiv are just great and they still have a chance to advance to play-offs or at least secure spot in Europa League, gonna give them a chance here. Salzburg on the other hand is kind of disappointment in this Champions League, they are 4th with only 1 point after 4 game so I'm betting on Lokomotiv here, hoping for great win at those odds, GL!

LOL, you may be seeing a lot of nightmares due to Real Madrid 
They are not going to be eliminated so easily and don't forget that Inter is still dangerous in the next games which means that they can "cut" points from all teams including Gladbach so Real is still in the game.

1. interesting for me, i bet on Bayern
2. i bet on Liverpool
3. not interesting for me (no bet)
4. not interesting for me, but i bet on Manchester

My 2 euro for fun bet

ManU - PSG i dont place a bet, is fun game but is hard like bettor (in my humble opinion, of course)

Liverpool vs Ajax will be an interesting game. The winner takes a big step to the next round. Normally Liverpool is the big favorite but they are missing a lot of players and Ajax is in good shape.

I agree with you about lack of Van Dijk is heavily affected with the gameplay of Liverpool, he is also the morale leader of whole team and give a strong defense to Liverpool. Beside that, the Thiago Alcântara’s injury also make Liverpool face with some of difficulities with the central midfielder . Head to head history is quite balance, so I guess there will be a draw match.

I hope Madrid lose tomorrow and end up eliminated in the group stage. Visca el barsa!!!

I really hope that van Dijk will play again, since the back is no longer in defense, it has become a mess at Liverpool and it really needs to get better. It is total chaos.
I still want to see it against Ajax. Can they just run into another defeat? I believe they can.

ManU and PSG, but yes there are other interesting matches that possibly become tight matches.
1. Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
2. Liverpool vs Ajax
3. Sevilla vs Chelsea
4. FC Porto vs Manchester City
These matches are also interesting to watch. There is no guarantee that the bigger clubs to win the matches. There is always a chance for surprises in these matches. Let's guess about the result and watch them!!

One big match for ManU and PSG but a lot of interesting matches.

For sure the games of the group Real - Inter can be lethal for Inter.

very interesting situation in group B where Borussia M'gladbach is leading the table with 8 points. Real Madrid has 7 points, Shakhtar - 4 points and Inter surprisingly in the botton of the table with 2 points. so Inter may not get qualified even to Europa League.

Leizpig will win in Turkey and in the last match on his field will try to take at least one point from Manchester. And PSG must definitely win against Manchester. Only in this case they will have a chance to qualify from the group. But I don’t think it will work. Manchester needs one a point to advance to the next round.

The position is very difficult for PSG at the moment because they have only been able to get six points from 4 matches in the Champions League, after starting the first match with a defeat to Manchester United, now PSG has a chance to forgive their defeat at Old Trafford, Group H is the most exciting group. because the four teams still have the same opportunity to qualify for the knockout round, PSG currently has 6 points equal to the points obtained by Leipzig and is likely to win easily against Istanbul.

No star player of PSG is injured now. IMO Their squad is one of the best in the world. In the match against Man Utd, PSG will win the match if their defenders make no mistake. Because the strikers and midfielders of PSG are much better and more talented than Man Utd.

I don't know honestly, but if they did they were wrong
creating the team around a player is very dangerous, it is true that when your champion is in top form you become a perfect WAR machine
but your champion:
- he can be sick
- can decide to leave
- may be in a bad mood

it becomes a risky game... always

These two teams are both good and this will be an interesting match, and for PSG the match against Manchester United is a mission of revenge, because at the last meeting the French representative was eliminated dramatically and left bitter memories.

Definitely the matchup of the week for me. PSG have not had a good campaign because of Covid,,, and they know this is the must-win game for them, they already had a huge 3 points from Matchday 4 but this will be match to decide if they have a future in the Last 16. United have a hot streak now though winning many games in a row in all competitions. This is the OSG effect;)

Both teams have enough talented players. Both teams have a chance to win. Still, I will keep PSG ahead. The first reason is, They will not want to lose the match in any way. If they lose, it will be almost uncertain for them to advance to the second round. The second reason is, they have two world-class strikers. It will not be easy to stop Mbappe and Neymar. Man Utd has also some good striker. Hopefully, the match will be very competitive. However, I will place my bet on PSG.
