The two teams that competed in the quarter-finals last season, namely Benfica and Inter, will be in group D for this season's Champions League. Both will be accompanied by Salzburg and Real Sociedad, who are also newcomers this season. If we look at the competition in Group D, it is very likely that Inter will win the group and for the runners up it will be a battle for the other 3 teams. I'm not underestimating Benfica but Real Sociedad and Salzburg were also quite competent in domestic league competition last season so anything can still happen. It seems that group D will also be quite a surprising group and in my opinion the ones who will qualify for the next round are Inter and Real Sociedad.
I think group B is inhabited by balanced clubs, it's true that Arsenal have become more superior after their movements in the last transfer market. If you look at group B, at first glance it looks like a club that usually plays in the Europa League competition. However, all clubs have experienced a lot of growth after buying and selling players this summer. I favor Arsenal and PSV to qualify for the next round, Sevilla and Lens are still very much in doubt.
Arsenal have been very successful in the EPL so far, they just beat Man United 3-1. It is possible that Arteta's squad will wipe out all the matches in the group phase with a win, let's wait for their action.
Sevilla's current Laliga form is not encouraging, and this may have an impact on their Champions League performance because teams like Arsenal and PSV are playing very well in their respective leagues, with only Sevilla and Lens having poor starts to their respective league seasons; as a result, I predict Arsenal and PSV to qualify to the round of 16 ahead of Lens and Sevilla.Arsenal have been very successful in the EPL so far, they just beat Man United 3-1.
