I’m going with this two predictions tonight

Valencia - Altalanta 0:2
RB Liepzig - Tottenham 2:1

For tomorrow I have some doubts, I will make the pics by tomorrow afternoon

I don’t wanna see any restriction in the CL caused by the covid19 chrisis
Positive mantra!

Well we already sort of have restrictions. Valencia will play without supporters tonight, same thing for Barcelona next week. This is kind of sad since football is played for supporters and sure isn't fair for home teams. Especially since their opponents had the home supporters backing them in the first match. It would have been much more fair if both games were played with empty stands but you can't actually predict this things so we all have to cope.

I read somewhere that Barca will lose 6 millions just from ticket sales.

[big_daddy]

Well, Atalanta as an Italian club, their supporters couldn’t go on this away trip by default, cause they are completely blocked

It can cause a real mess if the seieA will be postponed for idk how many weeks... we have the euro2020 around the corner

Going to support Spurs tonight... I like Leipzig but not the team and what they stand for, maybe a misguided sentiment but in any case would love to see Spurs go through and at almost 5/1, I daresay Moura and Dele Alli shouldn't be sniffed at.

Also, I know Ramos is suspended but Real Madrid at also 5/1 has got to be a must-take bet, no?

Anyway, good luck gentlemen. Will probably watch for 15 mins and if it's interesting, I'll bite. Otherwise only tomorrow's really the one to matter.

The Juve match was a weird affair with the silent stadium. Can't say the sound of Blur's No. 2 reverberating around an empty cauldron's not creepy.

Leipzig going to destroy Spurs. 2:0 after 21 minutes. I didn't expect Mourinho to surrender so easily. They should forget about UCL next season and start to build a new team.

Also, I know Ramos is suspended but Real Madrid at also 5/1 has got to be a must-take bet, no?

everything we've seen on Manchester derby it's not important. They will play much different against Real and it will be a win for sure, maybe a little more serious with a lot of goals.

As I know, there are also options to play somewhere out of Italy in a neutral place.

Oh my God,,, I was so prepared that we would lose, but so sad to lose by that scoreline,,, and we even had offside goal to discount. I thought Lucas Moura was really good at times but in the end nobody can step up like Kane or Son does,,, that team is just terrible without their two strikers.

Sad season for last year's finalist.

[cryptofrka]

Whatever I do, I just cannot get a point anymore. I was 2nd after the group stage, slowly dropping game after game. I think I have like 2/10 so far in the knockouts.

Top 5 get rewards, right?

[big_daddy]

well speaking of points, I'm 20 points in front, leading the top from the first round
there is still a chance to catch me

the remaining matches
1/8 stage - 6 matches - max points to earn: 18
1/4 stage - 8 matches - max points to earn: 24
1/2 stage - 4 matches - max points to earn: 12
final stage - 1 match - max points to earn: 3

tot points in circulation: 57 + eventually some slam points

Yes, I think race is over here. you made a big difference from the beginning though you are constantly good. The only chance for us is if you don't pay for your internet bill's and they cut off you from network 
I still wonder how are you so good here but on PL pool you have minus 40-50 points to first place. Every week 30+ points are on the pot there, is it PL still more unpredictable than rest of Europe?

[tokeweed]

^  Yup.  I pretty much lost interest in this pool.  Lol.  I don't think I could even get enough points to break thru the money spots anymore with a few games left going to the finals.

Yeah, top 5. So I'm in with a chance. Been better here than in EPL pool (haha). I think I got lucky last night Atalanta went for blood, 2 correct outcomes but only 1 point each. Hanging on to my 5th spot but one 3 pointer from anyone below me and I'm probably out.

@big_daddy: We still get slam points at this point?

[Trofo]

@big_daddy: We still get slam points at this point?

Theoretically yes, but in practice probably not. You have to have enough points / correct winners picked up for slam points and it is much harder to do it now since we have less games per round. Don't know exact numbers from the top of my head.

I am definitely much better in CL pool then PL one. I was winner last year and around the top this year, while in the PL one I am always in the middle of the table.

I am still hoping of catching big_daddy but realistically I'll have to settle for 2nd spot. That's if i manage to hold to it. Well played man see you next year for rematch.

[hilariousetc]

I'm surprised the CL games haven't been called off because of the coronavirus but I think people are being overly-dramatic or at least overly cautious about it. I'm wondering if any of the players will be wearing masks whilst playing? 

Gone for both home wins for the games tonight but I think they're both going to be tough. Really hoping Liverpool can get through. If they concede a goal though it's going to be very tough for them.

I'm testing a program, made by myself for the score prediction, and I'm using it for the PL pool, and, I'm satisfied on my current result
The algo can be used only on some major leagues, like Premiership, LaLiga, SerieA, Bundesliga and so on... it's math, when I will get the 90% accuracy will share the algo, until than, it's still a "beta"

The covid19 thing is a real mess, somehow I understand all those restrictions


I'm confident tonight in Liverpool's victory, my prediction is 3:1 against Atletico
I'm not quite sure for the other game, it's a draw or a possible victory for the guests, and my prediction is 1:2 PSG - Dortmund

Cheers!

Damn, you just had to share that, didn't you?

I had exactly the same predictions and now I had to change something. I kept Liverpool as 3:1 because I just see this game as drama till the end after Atletico scores a goal in the early stages of the match and then Liverpool gradually takes over and scores in the finishing minutes of the game for a result which takes them trough. That is the only way we can see a good match here. Simeone said something like "If Liverpool played without a goalkeeper we wouldn't attack them". So it will be a nuclear bunker.

I changed the other one to 2:2. I also believe that Dortmund will not lose today and we should see few goals in this one. PSG without supporters and Mbappe recovering don't sound so dangerous to me.

[big_daddy]

I think that your 2:2 will be at the end the final result as exact 

now, HTV2, a cold beer and forza Liverpool 

[Mbitr]

 10 goals in first 2 matches of this round - 3 so far in these next 2 ! Cmon LFC and BD - a lot more goals please 

[buwaytress]

My heart's been having quite a bit of nerves tonight, but luckily in a good way. I get annoyed by Gini every now and then but glad he got that one in. Oblak's having a monster night, but it's 55th minute and we're pounding on the doors. Something's got to give. I'm counting on 3-0, though Atletico is super organised. Exactly 4-4-2 as soon as we give them a second. Thank God our WBs are better with targeting this time. Salah's had a few tries to but no curling success.

Costa off for Llorente almost forgot he's here now. Plenty more time. Come on you REDS.

[Mbitr]

LFC fans nervous yet 
Remember  Istanbul

[big_daddy]

Well
2:0 in Paris, congratz!

Liverpool has to win this one!
Oblak is a beast tonight, but one more will enter in this extra time

Cheers!
