Monaco are returning to the main tournament of the Old World and immediately, in their 1st match, face the main contender for the title. It will certainly be difficult against Barça, but Monaco have a fairly decent defense and have conceded few goals in their recent matches. Barcelona may win, but t... Show more

Simeone's team tries year after year to repeat its own achievement in the Champions League (2 consecutive finals against Real Madrid), and they rarely drop points in home matches of this tournament. The "Colchoneros" have already kept clean sheets in 3 consecutive matches, and it will also be diffic... Show more

It is quite difficult to predict the outcome of this match (despite Bayer Leverkusen being a clear favorite), but the total, on the contrary, seems easy. Both teams are considered quite high-scoring, and I also think this match will give us many goals. The Dutch traditionally play reckless attacking... Show more

Traditionally, Balkan clubs play rather roughly, and this will not escape the attention of English referee Michael Oliver (not the strictest when it comes to yellow cards). I expect there to be a lot of physical play and challenges in this matchup, and consequently fouls, each of which could potenti... Show more

Traktor Chelyabinsk have shown excellent form at the start of the season, and it seems that this season the team will also be competing for high places; consequently, they must play every home match to win. I would not take a large handicap with a minus sign, since Niznekamsk are also good right now... Show more

In the last 10 games (KHL regular season) between these teams, 7 or more goals were scored in 9 of them. It seems that the statistics will not be wrong this time either, and we are in for a flurry of goals. Yes, the army teams have not impressed lately, but they need to earn points, while Kuze and C... Show more

Girona have been playing quite aggressively lately, and this match will be no exception. I think it is quite possible that the Parisians will be unable to score for a long time, and consequently, more fouls will come from their side. On top of that, the referee for this match is Daniel Siebert, who ... Show more

Let's take a risk this time and check Girona with a handicap +1.5 despite all logic and the latest statistics. Yes, for the Spaniards this is their 1st match in Champions League history; in the last match they conceded 4 goals from Barça, but it feels as though this served as a wake-up call for them... Show more

AC Milan - Liverpool - is considered a classic of European football, and all fans enthusiastically recall their encounters in Champions League finals in the 00s. Now everything has changed, and AC Milan is no longer the same (despite the recent Serie A championship), but it still has a vibrant and f... Show more

Aston Villa are taking part in the Old Continent's premier club tournament for the first time since the distant 1983 and will of course try to play attractive football, but the hosts are no pushovers, and Young Boys could well surprise the public and avoid losing to Unai Emery's side. It definitely ... Show more

Juve and PSV will definitely play open, attacking football in this match. Juventus desperately need to redeem themselves for their toothless attack in previous games. PSV, in turn, typically play without regard for defense (like all Dutch teams) and score a lot on average. I assume this match will b... Show more

I’ll risk assuming that the Swiss can very well beat Villa in their 1st home match in the Champions League. In the qualifying rounds, Young Boys outplayed the fairly strong Galatasaray over 2 matches, and although things are not going well in their domestic league so far, they have a chance to make ... Show more

Betis have been playing poorly in their recent La Liga matches (0 goals in the last 2 matches). At home, with their own fans behind them, I believe they should please the supporters and claim their first victory of the current season. The newcomers from Leganes can surprise, and I think they may sco... Show more

The Army men from the Neva are very angry after losing to Lokomotiv (and failing to score a single goal). It seems that after this match, senior management took measures and prepared the team for a different approach. If SKA are aiming to win the championship this season, they must play all home mat... Show more

Despite the fact that all the recent statistics favor Irina-Camelia Begu (both in matches against underdogs and overall), I will risk assuming that Dinu C. will be able to put up a fight in this match and may even take a set — the thing is that when Romanian tennis players face each other, they like... Show more

I had a chance to watch North Macedonia's last match. So, despite drawing with the Faroe Islands, the score was completely unrepresentative of the game, and the Macedonians had plenty of chances. They were determined to win; it simply didn't go in—these things happen. In my view, they should win con... Show more
