Chelsea vs Juventus

Kick Off: 11/23/2021 16:00

 

Chelsea

Chelsea's form has been inspiring ever since, going the next nine games unbeaten in all competitions, winning seven. Sitting second in the group behind this week's opponents, their only defeat so far came in a close-fought encounter as Juventus beat them 1-0 . Those were the only points dropped by the Blues to date, after an opening win at home to Zenit was followed by dominant victories against Malmo FF on each of the last two matchdays. Chelsea have kept six clean sheets in their last eight matches. 

Juventus

In stark contrast to their patchy domestic form, Juventus sit atop Group H with maximum points so far, after they sealed a double over Zenit St Petersburg earlier this month. Having won their first three fixtures without conceding a goal, Juventus finally succumbed to a Leonardo Bonucci own goal in Turin, but were still able to run out 4-2 winners over Malmo FF. Juve ended a three-game winless run in the league with a home victory against Fiorentina, and they followed that up with a gritty 2-0 success against Lazio in Rome.

 

Prediction

Chelsea will be looking to avenge their 1-0 loss in Turin and certainly have form on their side. Therefore expect Chelsea to edge out Juventus or at least to be unbeaten with their home advantage and the determination for revenge. 

Final Results: 1-0, 1-1

Dynamo Kyiv vs Bayern Munchen+

Kick Off: 11/23/2021 13:45

 

Dynamo Kyiv

Winless in their European assignments this season, Dynamo Kyiv are rooted to the bottom of the rankings in Group E and are fighting an uphill battle to even salvage Europa League football yet alone challenge for the top two. After playing out a goalless draw against Benfica in their first game, Dynamo Kyiv went on to lose their next three games. They lost 5-0 to Bayern Munich in their second game before suffering back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Barcelona. However, Dynamo Kyiv did manage to thrash Chornomorets 6-1 at the weekend.

Bayern Munchen 

Bayern Munchen have taken 12 points from 12 to sit at the top of the rankings. Bayern Munchen secured qualification to the knockout stages after beating Benfica 5-2 in their last game. The victory over Benfica was the Bavarian's fourth consecutive win in the tournament, making them one of three teams to have won all four games so far. However, a COVID-hit Bayern squad fell to a shock defeat last time out in the Bundesliga against Augsburg - ending a three-game winning streak in all competitions in the process.

Prediction

Bayern Munchen have been impeccable on the European stage so far. It’s believed that they will not accept a hint of complacency from his side as they endeavour to seal top spot in the group. Expect a comfortable win for the Bundesliga champions.

Final Score: 0-3

Barcelona vs Benfica

We don’t remember the weaker start of Barcelona’s Champions League campaign. They lost in the opening two rounds but managed to bounce back with a double win over Dynamo Kyiv. Those six points launched the Catalans in 2^nd place, being two points ahead of their upcoming rivals. Ronald Koeman’s side goes to this match after beating Espanyol in the Derbi Barceloni, breaking their four-game winless streak. The home side is currently sixth in La Liga, and they are pretty far from the title battle. A victory here could see them secure a place in the top two, and Memphis Depay and the lads will try to improve their game against a strong rival.

Benfica kicked off its Champions League campaign by picking up four points from the first two rounds. However, they lost twice in a row against Bayern Munich and slipped to 3^rd place. The Eagles have been very confident against their upcoming rivals in their first match earlier this season, as they celebrated a 3:0 victory. Jorge Jesus’s side hasn’t been too convincing lately, though, and they are 3^rd in the Primeira Liga. Lucas Verissimo and the lads have had defensive issues in the past few weeks, and they failed to keep the clean sheet on the last five occasions. Benfica has been dealing with some problems in the locker room lately, and it will be interesting to see whether they overcame them ahead of this important clash.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Barcelona is a favorite, but we believe the bookies hugely underestimated the visitors. The hosts didn’t impress against Dynamo Kyiv and Espanyol, while Benfica is a much tougher opponent. We don’t think the away team will lose this one, but in any case, Barcelona shouldn’t win by more than a goal.

Goals Market Prediction

The hosts haven’t been too tight in the back lately, while Benfica has had the same issues in the past few weeks. We anticipate a great battle, and neither side should be able to keep the clean sheet.

Benfica AH +1 @ 1.75 

BTTS Yes @ 1.65 

Correct score 1:1 @ 8.20

[StefanBB]

Chelsea vs Juventus

The hosts have enjoyed excellent form lately, and they head to this clash after beating Leicester City 3:0 on the road. Chelsea is the leading team in the Premier League, and they are three points ahead of Manchester City. After they lost to Juventus in the last week of September, Thomas Tuchel’s team entered a great streak. The Blues failed to win only once on the previous nine occasions in all competitions. Chelsea has been very tough to beat in defense, and they have allowed only four goals in the English top-flight and conceded just once in the Champions League. On the other hand, Romelu Lukaku and the lads have been among the most productive teams in the Premier League. If they win this game, Chelsea will stay in the battle for the top spot in the group.

Although things are not going well in Serie A, Juventus didn’t have any issues in the Champions League. They booked all four wins so far and have already secured a place in the knockout stage. Bianconeri are 8^th in the Italian top division, but they have improved their form lately. Juventus comes from an important 2:0 win over Lazio on the road, which was their third consecutive victory. Massimiliano Allegri’s side has been pretty disciplined in the back in this competition, allowing only two goals so far. If they stay undefeated in this match, Juventus will likely remain on the top of the table.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Both teams have played very well lately, and they go to this match hoping to secure valuable points. It is going to be an interesting battle, but we believe Chelsea will celebrate in this close encounter and level with their rivals.

Goals Market Prediction

Chelsea conceded just three goals in the previous nine matches, while Juventus managed to keep the clean sheet on the last two occasions. We shouldn’t expect an efficient clash, and it should stay under a 2.5 margin.

Manchester City vs Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

Kick Off: 11/24/2021 16:00

 

Manchester City

Manchester City currently sit at the summit with nine points to their name. Domestic league games are a little bit out of stable to Manchester City at this point, but they have swept aside nearly all that has been put before them in the Champions League so far this season - racking up 15 goals in their four group-stage games. It is now three wins on the bounce in all competitions and eight-game winning streak at home in the Champions League for Man City.

Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) have already slipped up twice in this group (against both RB Leipzig and Club Brugge) which is why they are currently second in the standings. Second-placed PSG are now one point behind City in the rankings but boast a four-point cushion over third-placed Brugge. PSG bagged three goals at the weekend, two of which came in the dying minutes of the affair against Nantes

Prediction

PSG have historically struggled for a clinical edge, but their recent goalscoring exploits with the famed front three should certainly see them register at least once in midweek. Therefore, expect them to win the game or at least draw with Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid vs AC Milan

Kick Off: 11/24/2021 16:00

Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid currently occupy third spot - which would result in an unfancied drop down to the Europa League - in Group B. Atletico Madrid got four points from their opening four games as they have won just one of their last six games in the Champions League. Atletico Madrid come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga, but that triumph is only the hosts' second from seven games in all tournaments.

 

AC Milan

AC Milan sit bottom of the rankings and cannot break into the top two no matter what transpires this week. They have now failed to win in three games across all competitions since the start of the month. claimed their first point of the 2021-22 Champions League last time out against Porto. In their previous game, AC Milan have just suffered the maiden Serie A defeat of the season, falling 4-3 to Fiorentina in a seven-goal thriller

 

Prediction

Both sides have under-performed in this season's tournament, but Atletico have proven a tough proposition at home for most sides in recent weeks. Take Atletico Madrid for the win.

Villarreal vs Manchester United

The Champions League returns this week with another round of group stage games coming up. It's Group F that takes my attention for this preview with Villarreal hosting Manchester United in a 5:45pm GMT kick-off at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Both of these two teams are one win away from securing qualification for the last 16 but defeat could see their fate taken out of their own hands.

Villarreal stand on the brink of reaching the knockout stage of this competition but will need a certain number of things to go their way if that's to happen. One of those things is that Unai Emery's men need to beat Manchester United here by a greater score-line than the 2-1 win that United earned in the reverse tie. The other is for Atalanta to not beat Young Boys in the other game in the group. History has some bad news for the Yellow Submarine though with the Spanish club failing to win any of their previous five meetings with United down the years. In fact, Villarreal are still yet to beat an English club in 11 encounters in the the Champions League. The big team news for Villarreal is that star striker Gerard Moreno is set to miss out through injury.

Manchester United begin life post-Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with interim pre-interim head coach Michael Carrick taking charge of the team for this game. The Red Devils know a win will guarantee them a spot in the last 16 due to their win against Villarreal at home earlier in the campaign. The team are suffering from a number of key absentees though including Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Mason Greenwood, and Edinson Cavani. It's only been 2 wins from their last 8 matches since they beat Villarreal so form needs a big turnaround. Defensive issues still plague United with the team failing to keep a clean sheet in this year's Champions League. United have also only managed 7 wins from their last 24 away matches in the Champions League.

I have to say that I'm worried for Manchester United ahead of this clash. Villarreal pushed them all the way at Old Trafford earlier in the season and you have to say that United are undoubtedly in far worse form now than they were then. The appointment of Carrick on a temporary basis screams of a club having no plan in place and this feeling of disarray will surely be pounced upon by an experienced and dangerous Villarreal.

Chelsea vs Juventus

The second Champions League preview I'm covering on Tuesday is the clash between Chelsea and Juventus in Group H which is set to kick-off at 8pm GMT at Stamford Bridge in London. The home side will be looking to join their opponents by qualifying for the last 16 but they'll need to gain revenge against a team that appeared to have their number when the teams last met earlier in this campaign.

Chelsea might be doing well on all fronts this season but progress to the next round of this competition isn't confirmed yet. If Thomas Tuchel's side want to avoid a nervous last group game against Zenit St Petersburg away then they'll want to get the single point required to progress to the next phase. The Blues are currently in 2nd place and have sealed their place in the Europa League knockout stage but that's not what the club wants. The team are boosted by the news that star striker Romelu Lukaku could return to the squad with Kai Havertz and Timo Werner also in line to be involved. Defence has provided a firm foundation once again for Tuchel's team with Chelsea keeping six clean sheets in their last 8 matches.

Juventus may well not be performing on the domestic front with the team down in 8th in Serie A but Massimiliano Allegri's side have already booked their place in the last 16 of this season's Champions League with 4 wins from their 4 group stage games so far including a 1-0 win over Chelsea at home earlier in the campaign. The Old Lady have kept three clean sheets in their four group matches thus far showing how their defence has also been the building block for their performances. The team will be without a number of quality players for this game including Giorgio Chiellini, Aaron Ramsey, Federico Bernardeschi, and, potentially, Paulo Dybala. A draw will see the Italian side confirm their top spot so that's their motivation for this one.

This is certainly going to be a tightly contested game. Both sides have been resolute in defence but I think Juventus missing Chiellini is a big blow. Chelsea have a few big hitters coming back and will want to get the win to seal their last 16 spot but also re-open the group winners discussion heading into the last game. I think they'll do it in a low-scoring affair with a single goal separating the two teams.

Always a degree of the unpredictable with a team's first game after the manager is sacked but seems worth taking their opponents main goal threat at that price.

Malmo vs. Zenit

Malmo

Malmo are fourth in the Group H standings with no points in four rounds.
Jon-Dahl Tomasson's players alternately lost to Juventus 0-3, Zenit 0-4 and Chelsea 0-4 and 0-1.
In the Swedish championship, the hosts are doing much better. They top the standings (55 points) with two rounds to go, although Djurgarden, two points behind, have a game in hand.
Last weekend, Malmö went on to beat Hecken 2-2 at home.
Felix Beimo, Jonas Knudsen, Anders Christiansen and Ola Toivonen are recovering from injuries at the Swedish club.

Zenit

Zenit is on the third line in the group H standings with 3 points.
Petersburgers this season of the Champions League beat Malmo 4-0, losing to Chelsea 0-1 and Juventus (0-1 and 2-4).
In the RPL, the guests are in the lead (33 points), four points ahead of the nearest rival.
In the 15th round, Sergei Semak's team won a major victory over Nizhny Novgorod 5-1, with Artem Dziuba signing three times at the goal.
Among the injured at Zenit are Claudinho, Stanislav Kritsyuk and Daler Kuzyaev.

The game in St. Petersburg showed the difference in class between these teams. The team from St. Petersburg surpassed the rival in all respects and rightly won with a large score.
The Swedish side had only one decent game in the group stage when they lost 0-1 at home to Chelsea. However, in 90 minutes of play, she never shot on target, allowing the Londoners to do it ten times at once.
Given the above, it seems to me that we will face open play. My prediction and bet - both teams to score.

[BillyDuke1989]

Chelsea vs. Juventus

Chelsea
The Blues are in 2nd place in the table with 9 points. Even if they are defeated, no one will overtake them, but the hosts still have a chance to keep up with Juventus.
In the previous match against Juve, Chelsea lost 0-1, but after that the team won two victories without conceding a single goal. Tomas Tuchel's team defeated Malmö 4-0 and beat him 1-0 in the second round.
Before the game with the Bianconeri, the Blues played two games in the Premier League, where they were at odds with Burnley 1-1 and confidently beat Leicester 3-0.
Chelsea have won three straight UEFA Champions League home games without a goal conceded. In this Champions League, the hosts have only one goal conceded.

Juventus
The Bianconeri are at the top of the standings with 12 points. In the last round, they got a ticket to the Champions League playoffs ahead of schedule.
Before the international break, Juventus beat Zenit 4-2 at home. It was the only match in the group stage where the guests conceded. Prior to that, they won 3 times in a row, beating Zenit 1-0, Malmo 3-0 and Chelsea 1-0.
The victory over Zenit was the beginning of the team's winning streak, which has already made up 3 matches. Before the 5th round, the Zebras beat Fiorentina 1-0 and Lazio 2-0 in Serie A.
Paulo Dybala, Giorgio Chiellini, Federico Bernardeschi and Danilo will not be able to play.

Prediction and bet
Chelsea will play to win. First, he wants to get even for his defeat in the first round. Secondly, he still has an incentive, since Juve is three points away and in 2 rounds it is still possible to get around him.
To this I will add a good winning streak of the Blues in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. I recommend betting on Chelsea's clear win.

[StefanBB]

Atletico Madrid vs Milan

The home side heads to this match after a hard-fought win over Osasuna last weekend in La Liga. That game showed that Diego Simeone’s side still hasn’t stabilized its form, but Atletico Madrid stayed in the top four. They are four points behind Real Madrid, and we’ll see an exciting title race in the Spanish top flight. Los Colchoneros need to tighten their defense, as they kept the clean sheet just twice on the last seven occasions. Atletico Madrid is third in the Champions League Group B, being one point behind Porto and three ahead of their upcoming rivals. If Luis Suarez and the lads win here, they will knock out Milan from the top-two race.

Milan cannot be satisfied with its Champions League performances, as they snatched just a point from the four rounds played. Their form is on a decline, as Rossoneri haven’t celebrated three times in a row in all competitions. Stefano Pioli’s side failed to keep the clean sheet on the previous four occasions, and they missed the chance to climb to the Serie A top. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the lads have been pretty productive, though, as they didn’t score just once this season. However, this game is Milan’s last chance to stay in the game for the knockout stage spot, and they need to win this one.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Neither team has been confident lately, and both Atletico Madrid and Milan have had some hiccups in the past few weeks. Therefore, we won’t be surprised if they split points in this encounter.

Goals Market Prediction

Atletico’s defense hasn’t been too tight this season, although we got used to their disciplined game in the back. Milan has also conceded many goals recently, and since both teams should go for a win, we can expect to see goals in both nets.

Draw @ 4.10 

BTTS Yes @ 1.85 

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.70

Manchester City vs PSG

The hosts stabilized their form recently, and they entered a new winning streak. Manchester City celebrated in the last three games in all competitions, and they aim for another one. Pep Guardiola’s side sits in first place in the group, being one point ahead of their upcoming rival. The Citizens have conceded just once in the previous three games, while Phil Foden and the lads have been pretty efficient. They are doing well in the Premier League as well, being three points behind the top-placed Chelsea. Manchester City lost their first encounter against PSG, and they will search for revenge.

The away side is the only undefeated team in the group, but they sit in 2^nd place. They go to this match after a 3:1 victory against Nantes in Ligue 1, but they had a hard task to book all three points. PSG secured a win in the last ten minutes of the clash, playing without Keylor Navas, who was sent off. Mauricio Pochettino’s side is 11 points clear of their rivals in the French top-flight, and they are marching to the new title. Despite Neymar and the lads being very productive this season, they haven’t been tight enough in defense. PSG failed to keep the clean sheet four times in a row, and they are about to face an opponent with high attacking potential.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Although PSG hasn’t lost seven times in a row, Manchester City has been more convincing lately. We see them as favorites in this match, and they should beat their direct rivals for the top spot in the group. PSG should suffer their first Champions League defeat this season.

Goals Market Prediction

Although their first encounter stayed under a 2.5 margin, we expect to see more goals in this one. PSG has been involved in many high-scoring matches lately, while Manchester City has been lethal for the opponent’s goalkeepers. Therefore, the crowd should enjoy at least three goals in total.

Manchester City vs PSG

The second night of this round of Champions League group games is coming up on Wednesday evening and there are some plum ties taking place. One of those is the clash in Group A between reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and the current runaway Ligue 1 leaders PSG in an 8pm GMT kick-off from the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Neither side has booked their place in the last 16 yet so there is a big opportunity for them to do exactly that here.

Manchester City head into this game after a couple of sublime domestic displays that have seen them move up to 2nd in the English top flight and just 3 points behind league leaders Chelsea. Form has been almost as impressive in this competition with Pep Guardiola's side sitting top of this group on 9 points with their only loss being a 2-0 defeat away to PSG earlier in the campaign. The Citizens have now won their last 9 Champions League matches at the Etihad Stadium. They are also the second highest scorers in this season's group phase of the Champions League. Unfortunately, Kevin De Bruyne is still isolating after contracting covid.

PSG know that a defeat here could throw a spanner into the works of their qualification plans for the last 16. Mauricio Pochettino has had his name linked to the vacant Manchester United job this week which will certainly have affected the club's preparations for this game. The Parisians are 2nd in this group and 4 points ahead of 3rd placed Club Brugge. The team are without a win in their last 3 away games in the Champions League and only possess a 20% win ratio against Manchester City. There is hope in the form of Lionel Messi though with the Argentine legend scoring 7 goals in 7 appearances against City. In an intriguing move, centre back Sergio Ramos could make his debut for the French club here.

This is an example of the sort of game that shows why we all love the Champions League. Manchester City and PSG started this season as arguably two of the favourites to win this competition and now they face each other in a "winner progresses to the last 16" game. I mean, even a loss could see both teams still qualify depending on the other result in the group. I just feel this match will see City take revenge for the loss they suffered in Paris earlier in the group stage.

Liverpool vs Porto

The second preview I'm going to do for the Wednesday night matches in the Champions League group phase is the 8pm GMT kick-off between Premier League title-chasing Liverpool and Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders Porto at Anfield in Group B. The home side have already confirmed their place in the last 16 of this competition but they'll want to keep their fine form in this competition going against a visiting team that could potentially also qualify for the next round with a victory.

Liverpool have made light work of what was seen as a nightmare group that includes Porto, Atletico Madrid, and AC Milan. Jurgen Klopp's men have pulled off 4 wins from their 4 group stage matches so far. The Reds have scored an impressive 13 goals already in their matches but it'll be interesting to see how many changes Klopp makes to his squad for this game knowing that top spot is guaranteed. It's now just 2 losses from 23 home matches for Liverpool under the management of Klopp. However, they have failed to win 2 of their last 4 competitive games at Anfield.

Porto will see this as a chance to take a big step towards reaching the knockout phase of this competition. Head coach Sergio Conceicao's men are in 2nd place and 1 point ahead of 3rd placed Atletico Madrid but know if they win and Atletico lose against AC Milan then qualification is secured. If Porto win and Atletico draw or lose then Porto will only need a draw in their final group game at home to Atletico. A draw or loss here would potentially throw advantage back into Atletico's hands. The Portuguese side have only lost 1 of their last 10 away matches across all competitions.

A lot of the outcome in this game will depend on the line-up Klopp puts out. I can see him starting a number of key first team players with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk starting but I think we could well see the likes of Tyler Morton, Takumi Minamino, and Divock Origi get run outs. I'm unsure how this game will pan out because of that but I wouldn't be surprised to see Liverpool still sneak a win.

Atletico Madrid vs. Milan

Atlético is below their capacity in the Champions League. Only 4 points in 4 games is clearly not the best disposition.
Diego Simeone's team is one point behind second-ranked Porto. So in the remaining fights, Madrid need to push up.
In their league, Atlético is not doing very well either. In the last round, Madrid defeated Osasuna minimally, and occupy a modest 4th place.
Atletico has staffing problems, and they are very serious. Antoine Griezmann was disqualified, João Felix and Kieran Trippier were injured.

The current Champions League is a failure for Milan. The Rossoneri scored only one point, but, paradoxically, they can theoretically compete even for the 2nd place in the group.
True, for this Milan need to beat Atlético. Perhaps, once again, the team will be saved by 40-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic ?!
Milan played their last league match unsuccessfully. The shootout with Fiorentina ended in an offensive 4-3 defeat.
Ante Rebic and David Calabria will not help the Milanese in Madrid. However, the Milanese have someone to play and even get the desired result.

Madrid in recent matches look unconvincing, besides, one of the leaders of the Griezmann team will not play.
Milan attack well and will probably try to take points.
The Milanese need to actively attack in order to preserve the chances for the European Cup spring. My prediction and bet - X2 2.37.

[BillyDuke1989]

Manchester City vs. Paris Saint Germain

 

ManCity have nine points and are solely leading the group after four rounds.
The Citizens easily beat Leipzig and Club Brugge. Pep Guardiola's team defeated the Belgians twice - 5-1 away and 4-1 at home.
The only defeat at the moment for Man City was at the end of September, losing away to PSG (0-2).
Manchester City have failed to win only two home games this season.
Kevin De Bruyne may miss the upcoming game. The Belgian midfielder tested positive for the coronavirus last week.

PSG, meanwhile, is in second place in the group. At the moment, the Parisians have eight points.
Unlike Man City, Paris have never lost in this Champions League. But at the same time, the French top has already drawn twice.
In early November, PSG did not keep the winning score in the away game with Leipzig. The opponents fought back in the last minutes, realizing a penalty.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar are ready to play in the match against Man City.

PSG had a great home match against Man City. But at the same time, we must admit that the champion of England that day was very unlucky in attack. Of course, now City will be in the mood for revenge.
And the last matches of Man City in the Premier League (first of all, a confident victory over Manchester United) indicate that PSG will be extremely difficult to score points at Etihad.
Bet - Manchester City wins + total over 2.5 in 2.28.
