UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Adbitco]

Even though Newcastle are playing really well and have good players, i still think PSG are a big favorite , not only because of the odds, but in every aspect, literally. It is almost certain that Luis Enrique will start with his strongest lineup, and the goal is clearly to take all three points. Without a doubt, i expect a very interesting match with plenty of goals.By the way, another match that could also be very interesting is Napoli vs Chelsea. Napoli need a win to qualify for the next round, and that will be very difficult. I’m rooting for Conte’s boys and i hope they can finally put an end to the run of poor results in tonight’s match.

I agree with you, Enrique will probably deploy his first 11 to start against Newcastle and probably try to end the game early and grant them rest by substituting some them. PSG last season went through the rigorous playoff just to qualify for the Rounds of 16 which I don't think he will want to subject himself and his team into again this very season. , my opinion though even though I still always bear in mind that anything can happen but i still support PSG to see off Newcastle.

[savetheFORUM]

Honestly for me that's going to be the most tense game as none would want to go without getting three points, because unlike any other teams in there 13 points bracket, the matchup is quite hard for the both teams. Inasmuch as I would like to go with a Paris win, Newcastle has always been unpredictable so I don't know what Howe will pull up.

As regards other teams, am a bit skeptical about Barcelona actually making it to the round of 16 with finishing in the top 8 because they don't just need to win but they need to win with some of amount of goal difference, and now that Pedri is on injury, it will greatly affect there attacking power.

There is big debate about this game due to both teams are having not good time but PSG is still capable of having big win at Paris because they are playing at home, and they need to be winning this game for keeping themselves at top 8 which will give them good boost while now they are also having their No # 1 spot back in French Ligue 1.

16 games are going to be played in few hours with many surprises are also going to happen because few teams are not able to perform as they were expected while few have chance of facing exit, this could be created good entertaining soccer, in this last round match, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are already set for top spots with Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester City can make things possible for themselves.

All eight teams need to win against the teams they face. This includes PSG, Newcastle, and Atalanta. Only Arsenal and Bayern Munich have already secured a points gap with Real Madrid and Liverpool, so even if they fail to win, they will not have to worry about dropping from their safe positions in the standings.
These eight teams also make it difficult for bettors to compile their parlay betting lists. Unless they bet on singles or choose no more than three matches.
Napoli vs Chelsea is a match that I think will be tight because both teams are performing equally well in their respective domestic leagues.

Is true what you say there are teams that have to win with all the teams they will face, and it's clear that these games will be of serious consequence, right now they have to hurry up to get rid of this thought, I hope that Atalanta will surprise everyone, and I feel it.

When you said "surprise everyone" I hope you meant it in a good way because they might end up surprising everyone with a 3-0 lose , that stuff has happened to me before. As concerning Real Madrid I think if worse comes to worst, they need atleast a draw to make it through to the the round of 16, because they have quite an amazing goal difference unlike that of Liverpool, but Liverpool is facing a slightly less difficult side in Qarabag, so am not too afraid.

Today will see a wide range of betting and bookies might end up smiling depending on the outcome of today's matches, because we know sometimes the Champions League can be unpredictable.

[Coyster]

I want Slot sacked as much as anybody but that can wait. Only a win is acceptable tonight, let’s go LFC.

Last season it wouldn't have been much of a contest against Qarabag, particularly at Anfield. But this season, anyone has a chance against Liverpool, and so do Qarabag tonight. That said, Liverpool has not been bad in the Champions League this season, 15 points and fourth on the league phase table, so that's not as bad as a lot of people make it seem.

Slot is under a lot of pressure though, because the club invested a lot in the summer and the manager also set lofty standards last season that he hasn't maintained this season. I have a strong feeling sooner or later, Slot would be replaced by Xabi Alonso.

Considering that PSG will probably get the win as well, they are going to be in the top 8. However, fun thing about this is that, 13 points isn't that high, and many teams will fight for it, showing that even 16 points is good enough for top eight, and considering you could make 24 points, you have to be seriously good to make this work.

You need to get 5 wins and 1 draw out of 8 games to be able to get to top eight in this season, only allowed to lose two games out of 8 games you play. That's not an easy feat, you would have to be a big team and the thing is that there "might" be teams who will get 16 points and still be out, considering how many have 13 points, some may win and some may still be out after that win.

[pewboy]

It is not going to be bad if they lose again so that it will affect their performance again in the league so that Arsenal will not be under pressure and lose the league to them this season again, Pep Guardiola's time is up in their team he needs to take a bow because he's no longer helping the team rather he's making them to go backwards gradually and if they get beaten again by Galatasaray it will give the management the concern to think of replacing him. Manchester City is just trying to maintain their performance but you already know that they may not finish as the runners up if they continue with their poor performance and in the champions League they are likely to get eliminated in the quarter finals.

Right now Mabcehster City is a team that is trying to get back on track, because surely that is not their favorite position in the championship, about the Champions League i have to say that they still have a lot of work to do but it is doable in any way, clearly they have to work on it a lot.
Pep Guardiola can do.

This is the Champions League, home advantage does not make a difference. Unfortunately, this is the last game in the UCL before the knockout stage, now every team are looking for any means to get into the top 8. Apart from the first two, which is Arsenal and Bayern Munich the other teas point difference is not much, meaning if a team win or lose today, it can be a decider on which team will be part of the top 8.

Nevertheless, I want PSG to win Newcastle, not because they are at home. The reason is because I want only two premier league team to progress to the next stage of the competition. Newcastle is a very stubborn team.

[KingsDen]

At least this is a form of redemption for the fans, they wasted their time, effort and money to see their only to be humiliated by Bodø/Glimt, although the fans are angry that their team has been frustrating for some time now but they easily forget how their team has been frustrating other teams for long now with outrageous score lines, it was all rosy now it's time to get a taste of their own medicine they are angry about it. What I know is that, every era comes to an end and this might just be it. Personally, I think Manchester City needs to restart. Pep has been the man for the team but these days, he seems like someone who doesn't know what his doing anymore. I might be wrong but this is my opinion.

What exactly will happen today?
Will the fans also be refunded today? Maybe No, because Manchester city is playing home tonight.
I love as Manchester city players took the blame and lived upto responsibility. What's next?
Are they going to improve or they will keep refunding the fans.

I am beginning to lose confidence in Manchester city, I just need only this night to make my final decision.

I think PSG will be able to score, despite the absence of some players, they have players who can score, and Newcastle's defense isn't good enough to expect a clean sheet. And I don't see Neves missing this match. I don't think Enrique will play for a draw, that could be risky for them to stay in the top eight. These teams have played before, and Newcastle proved a tough opponent for PSG, but that was a slightly different PSG.

It is unlikely that the Magpies will win against PSG at Parc des Princes, but it is still possible that Newcastle will score a goal there.
PSG and Newcastle have similar statistics in the Champions League over seven games. PSG is ahead because they have scored more goals, putting them above Newcastle with the same number of points.
PSG currently has few players absent from their lineup, which should be a concern for Newcastle.

In this match, both teams scoring is the most likely outcome to win. For those betting on parlays, not all matches can be included to chase the odds because some matches are difficult to predict.

I'm so nervous about our Manchester City match ahead... It's being at Etihad is what makes me like this. Not only that though. Manchester City need a win by at least a gap like 3-4 goals for bringing their top 8 chance to ~96% AFAIR.

The good news for us is that we are about to join playoffs anyway. I'd just like to see Galatasaray playing bravely even if they lose by a big gap at the end. We need to show that like we did against Liverpool and ATM already.

I think we won't have a big goal difference with Manchester City because Man City is not in good condition in their last few matches, Galatasaray can have a chance to get a win in this match, we can see how Manchester City lost to Bodo/Glimt with a very superior score, Galatasaray should be able to do the same thing in the next Champions League match, as long as we have a strategy that can make us disciplined that's enough.

it is a good advantage that Galatasaray is playing with almost no missing players. Using defensive full backs is going to be super important in this match. Looking at Man City, they have some big names missing in defense, which is great for GS. Osimhen will probably play against Khusanov and Ake in the center and he can definitely dominate them. Also, Rodri is suspended he’s the best defensive midfielder in the world so that’s a big plus for galatasaray. Man City's attack is still strong, but GS can be really dangerous with counter attacks.

I feel that way, even though I don't support Galatasaray but looking at the situation, Man City is not profitable in my opinion, therefore City is likely to lose in this match against Galatasaray, the match will start in a few hours let's see how Manchester City finishes this, I think Galatasaray needs a win in this match because they need a comfortable position to finish this round in order to get a better position for the next round.

[dezoel]

Everyone is talking about the very same thing, and I agree that it is amazing. All games, all at the same time. We are talking about 18 games, all at once. When you have that many it would be impossible for a gambler to not have a parlay with all games, it is just so much fun.

I know that it is not going to be easy to win of course and yes I am aware that 99% chance I am going to lose. But at the end of the day, I am not going to wager that much money, like something very small, whatever minimum I can and I will have some fun.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I trust Manchester City's ability and I'm very confident that they'll be able to beat Galatasaray tomorrow. However, when you consider the fact that their visitors tomorrow are on the brink of not qualifying for the knockout stage and must win at Etihad tomorrow to be sure of qualification to the next round, you'll understand why they'll be playing with every might and strength in that game. I expect a very difficult game for both sides and should Manchester City beat their visitors at the end, I won't be surprised because they're also seeking to finish in the top 8

It's a do-or-die match for Pep, they absolutely have to win, there's no other way, they must get points and move forward. Galatasaray is in very good form, I would be wary of them, but if I were Pep, I would go out with my arsenal of attackers, not letting them breathe I would play with that strategy, it doesn't matter if the players end up exhausted, they must win, it's a final for them.

It is also a do or die match for The coach if Galatasary, they need this win too and if Manchester City can lose to Bodø/Glimt they will strongly believe that they can also get atleast a draw.
It is also not about winning for Manchester City because other teams like Barcelona are looking to get into the top eight to Manchester City will need to win with many goals to stand any chance to qualify, I think it will either be a draw or city loses.

[7juju]

What exactly will happen today?

Manchester city will play Galatasary with intention to win the match that's what will happen today. They are going to put efforts and make sure that they don't end up outside the top 8.

Will the fans also be refunded today? Maybe No, because Manchester city is playing home tonight.

Are they going to improve or they will keep refunding the fans.

There's absolutely going to be improvement in the team today compared to what we last time in Norway. Manchester city players won't refund their fans today even if they end up losing. Manchester city has lost many games in the champions league before and they didn't refund their fans. Last time the players just wanted to show the fans a kind gesture, that doesn't mean that it has now become a tradition of the club that the players will refund whenever they lose.

Arsenal who's 1st in the log would be facing the Kairat Almaty that haven't won a single game since they started this campaign and Bayern Munich who are occupying the 2nd position would visit the PSV side and they both (Arsenal and Bayern Munich) have one thing in coming before going into their champions league game, they both lost their weekend. I don't want to say this would happen or not but can both teams get a win to end the Champions League league phase?

Kairat team performance is very bad in the recent matches and Arsenal football team performance is top quality because they won most of the matches which they played against different teams. Arsenal team won 3 games out of 5 games and 1 game lost by that team and 1 game ended with draw result. There are high chances of Arsenal team to win this match because that team has high potential players . Kairat football team could not win any game out of 5 games and 4 games lost by that team which was very bad effort by players of that team. Kairat team position is very low on the table because they could not win any match and 6 games lost by that team and 1 game was finished with draw result.

PSG are going to win but I am not going to disrupt Newcastle United chances, they have done it before and it is still possible tonight. PSG are not really invincible anymore, anything can happen. Although, PSG ought to win the game especially since they haven't really secure their spot in the top eight, they will be coming all out I guess.

[Distraction]

Today let's see which teams will manage to capture the remaining 6 places in top 8. There is no other team more comfortable than Arsenal and Bayern Munich right now.  

Manchester City and Barcelona are both out of this area for now. But I expect Barcelona to be in it. Their match is technically easy against Copenhagen home. Manchester City have a tougher one but it's still at Etihad. I wonder how many they will be able to score.

Everyone is talking about the very same thing, and I agree that it is amazing. All games, all at the same time. We are talking about 18 games, all at once. When you have that many it would be impossible for a gambler to not have a parlay with all games, it is just so much fun.

Today is a great day for gamblers truthfully. All the matches at the same time... The only negative side is not to be able to watch most of the matches. But it's still okay for me.

Lightning they say doesn't strikes twice, I don't see Galatasary taking a point away from this game which will be played at the Etihad stadium. Galatasary short themselves in the foot when they started the champions League on a poor note losing and dropping points in games that they were ordinarily supposed to win. There's nothing like do or die affairs here because it's too late for that I don't see them making it to play play offs

Galatasaray has entered the big European teams but this is really not easy for the coach. We can see Manchester City's performance against Bodø/Glimt because they need to win with a lot of goals, the chance to get into the big front is very small if no goals are scored then they will not qualify. we see Barcelona in good form also wants to enter the top eight, the match is getting tighter, all teams have prepared themselves for the qualifying round for the top eight, I think this is a tough match for Manchester City, not many goals were scored in the match later.

Too many games with many teams are desperate to win because this will give them good morale into their remaining matches of this season, it's going to be not easy night for punters because they have enough choices with surprises and upsets are also possible, I have done my research and have few games which are going to be having some fair chance.

Napoli hosting Chelsea both are balanced with Chelsea already secure and Napoli wants to win for staying in after this Ajax is also doing good in last few games I am expecting them to win Pafos and Bayer Leverkusen playing at home and their record is also good while Sporting is also good even they are on road, but their chances are looking better than Athletic.
