UEFA Champions League 2015-2016

Tonight we will find out about 5 competitors in this seasons campaign.Best match is set in Monaco,where Monaco hosts Valencia.There is a big potential surprise with Macabi Tel Aviv chances to eiliminate Basel...

My prediction on which teams will qualify tonight:

Dinamo Zagreb

Basel

Celtic (will be a tough one at Malmo though)

Valencia

Shakhtar

For sure I think that Dinamo Zagreb, Valencia and Shakhtar will qualify tonight, but I think that Malmo and Maccabi Tel Aviv will be the surprises tonight.

I'm sure Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic, Valencia and Shakhtar will qualify tonight. But Maccabi or Basel? I don't know. Basel should win tonight because I think there is no chance for a high-scoring draw again between these two. These are the highest odds:

Basel to win: 2,2

Maccabi to qualify: 1,95

In that case this match won't be a high scoring draw, it is a surebet, (3,3%). Not too much but it could be perfect if You have wagering requirements for a bonus (the lowest odds are 2,07 and 1,73 which is a -5,7% bet).

Good luck to all for these qualifiers!

Maccabi played good last match.They are very well managed by Slavisa Jokanovic ,who promoted Watford to Premier League but then got sacked.I am sure it will be tough clash.

Maccabi Tel Aviv and Malmo were the surprises.

M. Tel Aviv qualified after first round result was 2-2 and 1-1 today (aggregate: 3-3) and kicked out of the competition Basel.

Malmo after first round (lost 2-3 against Celtic) made a good match home, despite they were dominated by Celtic and won 2-0 (aggregate 4-3) and they are going to the next round.

I was not surprised by success of Malmo.Celtic simply aint so good anymore,Malmo is better team.On the other side,Basel has much more famous players then Maccabi,so this is great thing for Izraelian club.

Celtic is in constant decline and as I expected the Israelis made the surprise today . On the other side, Basel can`t find their good form and Malmo took advantage of this.

Damn! Celtic were really really poor. Scottish football is dead.  :(

I have watched match Shakhtar-Rapid Wienn. I was disappointed with lack of ambitions that was shown by Shakhtar.In second half,even when they had a chance to make a  counter attack they would decide to get ball back and keep posession.Rapid Wienn ,with one player less in the field,had 2 really big chances in stoppage time...

Here are today's matches and the odds at bet365:

APOEL vs Astana First leg: 0-1

Home/Draw/Away: 1,62 4,2 6

For today I think that Partizan, Manchester and Astana will qualify surely.

For today I think that Partizan, Manchester and Astana will qualify surely.

I hope Partizan will qualify because I have bet on them with a handsome stake :D BATE are not a too strong team and the Serbs are good at home.

Let`s hope that they will qualify. Partizan is a good team and I think they will manage to win today and to qualify against BATE which is a average team...

Bate is really nothing special,but Partizan also is not much better.I can see that match going to extra time .

I`m not so sure that we will see extra time or even penaltiy shoot out in Partizan - BATE. Partizan has his fans in their back, playing home, and they play pretty well at home.

Partizan dont have many succes against team which play Russian style ( Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia ) of football... But i hope we change that this evening, and i go on stadium :D

You're very lucky. I want to visit Partizan's stadium but Hungarians are not welcomed  :D

Good luck for Your team, I hope Partizan will be in the group stage.

Partizan has extraordinary fans. I saw that on Partizan - Steaua Buc. Is great that you are going to this match.

You're very lucky. I want to visit Partizan's stadium but Hungarians are not welcomed  :D

Good luck for Your team, I hope Partizan will be in the group stage.

You`re welcome... When ever you want to come on Belgrade if you want watch FKP, contact me here, and we go together....

APOEL vs Astana

I know nothing about these teams so I won't bet.

Leverkusen vs Lazio

Leverkusen's Son's play is questionable but Jedvaj, Aranguiz and Toprak won't be able to play. Lazio will miss Marchetti, Dordevic, Biglia and Klose.

Italian teams are very good at defense. Leverkusen have to win this match but without Son they have to trust in Calhanoglu's freekicks. There is a good chance for overtime but I have no exact pick. Avanti ragazzi di Buda!

Club Brugge vs Manchester United

Brugge's Mechele is suspended, Engels, Gedoz, Refaelov, Coopman, Ibini, Denswil, Izquierdo and Simons are injured. ManUtd will be without Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo.

Manchester United are not a goalscoring machine (three match in the PL, scored twice but 1 of these goals was an own goal). but returning to the Champions League's group stage is a very important task for the Red Devils. Brugge are a good team at home so ManUtd have to start with a strong starting eleven. In my opinion the Red Devils will win this match too.

CSKA vs Sporting

CSKA have no suspended or injured players. Sporting's William Carvalho, Jefferson and Ewerton are injured. CSKA are without a win in six European home games (the last win was against Plzen in 2013). They have to win to qualify. Sporting have lost six of the last seven matches on their travels in European competitons. I wait for a slow start, CSKA will attack and Sporting will play counter attacking. I don't know which team will qualify tonight but I think we'll ses at least 3 goals.

Partizan vs BATE

Partizan will miss Jevtovic who is suspended. BATE's player, Volodko is injured. The Serb teams are always dangerous at home thanks by thier fans. I watched BATE in the previous round against Hungarian club, Videoton. This is the weakest BATE I have ever seen. Videoton are fighting against relegation in the Hungarian First Division but BATE had only a draw and a boring win against them. I think Partizan will qualify and the odds for this outcome is very very nice.

Good luck all!

I know Copa90's channel. I'm an Ujpest fan, and I was there when he made this video:

After it I watched every videos made by him and decided I want to go to the Partizan's stadium.

Well,boys ,if you are in possibility,dont hesitate to come and watch "derby".I really think that is most passioned football match in the world,alongside Boca-River and Old Firm.Football is not good as it was earlier,but fans are great.You can feel special atmosphere in Belgrade all week before match. It really is spectacle!

That is real football. When everybody are in celebration and wait their team to make a splendid spectacle.

I agree with you :) Not to get too much out of the theme,I suggest a bet on Manchester United tonight. Brugge is really bad team,United is struggling,but I see them winning tonight.

Manchester will manage to win this match tonight. I don`t see any obstacle that they could have against Brugge.

Uo yeah. Manchester play even better in Belgium. Already 4:0 and easly qualify to Champions league group stage. Did Cska Moskow survive?

Last minute 2-1 win for Partizan, but not enough for Champions League... Better team ( BATE ) quailfied for CL...

The groups will be drawn today, the four pots are as follows:

Pot 1

Barcelona, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Benfica, PSG, Zenit, PSV Eindhoven

Pot 2

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, FC Porto, Arsenal, Manchester United, Valencia, Leverkusen, Manchester City

Pot 3

Shakhtar, Sevilla, Lyon, Dinamo Kiev, Olimpiakos, CSKA Moscova, Galatasaray, AS Roma

Pot 4

BATE Borisov, Borussia Moenchengladbach, VfL Wolfsburg, Dinamo Zagreb, Maccabi, Gent, Malmo, Astana

Teams from the same nation can't be drawn into the same group, so we could see a group with Barcelona, Man City, Roma and Wolfsburg for instance.

Manchester finally had a good match this season.Lot of chances,good finishing,I hope this will boost their confidence.....

Hehe. It depents how lucky teams are in drawn. It should be very interesting if some of strongest team get in touch in group stage.

We should see interesting matches after today draw. I`d like to see the teams in every group are balanced in strength so we can see good matches.

Champions League group draw

Group A:  Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo

Group B:  PSV Eindhoven,  Manchester United,  CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg

Group C:  Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Astana,

Group D:  Juventus,  Manchester City,  Sevilla, Borussia Monchengladbach

Group E:  Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, BATE Borisov

Group F:  Bayern Munich,  Arsenal,  Olympiakos, Dinamo Zagreb

Group G:  Chelsea,  Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Maccabi Tel-Aviv

Group H:  Zenit Saint Petersburg, Valencia, Lyon, Gent

I guess Group D seems the toughest, but there are no easy draws at this level.

I can`t wait to see a match between City and Juve or Barcelona against Roma. Chelsea has a easy group.

Juventus group is no doubt the toughest,

It's funny how Wolsburg is number  4 seeded in their  group and could easily even won it in the end.

Yeah, I agree with sharpe,group  D is definitey the hardest one.On the other side in group H there is funny situation.All clubs have similar quality,it will be interesting to see who will get through.Valencia is favourite but Lyon and Zenit are pretty good and Gent is not bad at all...

Some teams get lucky some teams didnt. :D  But the point is how good and how focused players are in every game. You can be sronger on paper but not on the court. Some Denmark club shows it pretty clear to eliminated on of the top teams last season form England - Southampton. So.. it all depends...

Arsenal for example are always one of the luckiest teams when it comes to a groups draw. This is maybe the toughest group that they were in as long as I remember and except for Bayern the other two teams are nothing special.

Wolfsburg is a pretty interesting and underrated team. They are playing very well without and world class player. I am not sure but I think that Wolfsburg win Bayern in Super cup of Germany so this team can make something interesting.

Best matches in group stage will definitely be : Real Madrid-PSG,Juventus-Manchester City and Bayern-Arsenal...I cant wait for the competition to start.

Tomorow start group stage LC... Most interesting match is Manchester City - Juventus.... Let see did Juve can do something positive after bad start of season..... City have all wins on PL this year ( 5-0-0 ), and now start on League Champion competition

1.80 Manchester City 3.50 Juventus 5.50

@bet365

I`m sure that Manchester City will win tomorrow. Juventus plays well and it`s a good team but Manchester is in a very good shape. If Aguero play tomorrow they will win.

Well,Champions League  is finally starting.Best football,popcorn and cold beer,I love the way this sounds. :)

I`m sure that Manchester City will win tomorrow. Juventus plays well and it`s a good team but Manchester is in a very good shape. If Aguero play tomorrow they will win.

Although Man City have never been in a good form in the Champions League ;)

Not sure about that one.

Atletiko started in good mood.They are leading with 2 goal difference at the half time. Well done ,Cholo! :)

Who will win ...?  Barcelona begin the defence of their UEFA Champions League trophy with AS Roma (Stadio Olimpico ). Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez  and Neymar will be starting together for the first time this season.

You were right sharpe. Despite they had 1-0, they lost the match. But it`s time to show that they can do something in Champions League.

Arsenal hould be winning tonight.DInamo i nothing special,they dont have good fans,o I expect easy win for the Gunners.
