Celtic have a crucial match in today's second leg. They drew 0-0 at home against Almaty in the first leg and will play away today.
Almaty is in danger of eliminating Celtic. While Celtic are the favorites, Almaty has the quality to win the match.
Bodo will head to Graz with a 5-0 lead in the first leg and will qualify for the Champions League even if they lose. (As long as they don't lose by a margin of six, Bodo will advance.)
Pafos defeated Red Star away in the first leg. Red Star looks the favorite again today, but I think Pafos will win again.
Pafos will be the surprise team this year.

Inter vs Torino

Inter Milan predicted lineup (3-5-2): Yann Sommer (GK), Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Petar Sucic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.

Torino predicted lineup (4-3-3): Franco Israel (GK), Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, Guillermo Maripan, Saul Coco, Cristiano Biraghi, Emirhan Ilkhan, Cesare Casadei, Gvidas Gineitis, Cyril Ngonge, Giovanni Simeone, Nikola Vlasic.

Inter Milan are set to begin another season against Torino, this will be their first host of the season which I hope they have a very good beginning. Inter Milan has failed almost 60% of football fans including their own fans too due to sudden decline of the performance on the very moment they needed to answer call of their fans but unfortunately they choose to disappoint them by let go of all the opportunity they had. Tonight game will be play at Giuseppe Meazza home of Inter Milan, before now I was saying I can't support them but I have changed my mind to give them a second chance who knows they may be able to close that wide gap between themselves.

Athletic Club VS Rayo Vallecano The match between the two teams was very good. But I think. Rayo Vallecano played a low block defense. Because Rayo Vallecano played quite well. But if they had not been afraid and played offensively and if the defense had played the same way, then maybe they would have won. But they did not do anything like that. They kept their defense very strong. But their misfortune was that Athletic got a penalty. If Athletic had not got a penalty, then we would not have seen any goals in the match.

Liverpool VS Newcastle was a very good game. In this match, everything was there, such as attack, counter-attack, defense, goals, everything was a very extraordinary game. Liverpool played very well. If we talk about their previous season in this season, it will never be right. Because if we talk about what happened in the last season in this season, it will never be right. We should always think about the present. At the moment, Liverpool is playing very well and almost every one of their players is in good form.

Seriously, I was also disappointed seeing this result but honestly, I was not expecting much from Leverkusen because I knew their squad would not be strong again after they lost some of their players, and they did not sign great players. But despite losing great players, this is not the kind of team I was expecting to defeat Leverkusen. When they are the host of the game, they should try and at least draw. One of the painful parts is that Hoffenheim made a comeback. With the result they have gotten today, the pressure will now be on Ten Hag's head, because even before, many people were underrating him, thinking he would not deliver based on his performance at Manchester United.

Congratulations to Al Ahli for winning the Saudi super cup but for Ronaldo and his Al Nasr team it was bad luck for them because looking at the game they performed very well but they have to know that Al Ahli was also a good team and they came with their game plan too and it worked out for them better luck for Ronaldo and Al Nasr

PSG vs Angers

PSG confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Chevalier (GK), Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola.

Angers confirmed lineup (3-5-2): Herve Koffi (GK), Carlens Arcus, Ousmane Camara, Jordan Lefort, Lilian Rao-Lisoa, Haris Belkebla, Marius Courcoul, Yassin Belkhdim, Jacques Ekomie, Esteban Lepaul, Sidiki Cherif.

PSG are about to host Angers for their second match of the season at Parc des Princes, there are many speculation that PSG will find it difficult in this match since Angers have their first match win with an early goal and they are able to defend it throughout the match despite towards ending they played 10 against 11, and unfortunately Angers end the match with victory on their side. Regarding Angers performance many fan are still doubting their victory because PSG are in their best performance. Let see how the outcome will be at the end of the match.

Al Ahli versus Al Nassr? I would put my money into Al Nassr. If it was Ittihad then I understand, but Nassr managed to beat them too, or if it was Hilal then I would understand that too, but with Ahli? I am sure that Nasr will end up winning without much trouble.

The only downside that we are seeing right now is Ronaldo getting used to new teammates all the time, he has been there for 2.5 years, and now this is his third full season, and in almost all of them, he played with different players. The one person they hold is Ronaldo ,rest are changing mostly. Some are still the same, like Mane for example, but not all the team , so there is nothing that screams chemistry for me, if they have any trouble, it would be because of that.

A good start of the season for Bayern Munich and from the results of the match against Leipzig I believe that Bayern Munich is back and they the team is ready to play in any competition this season, Bayern Munich attackers shows how ready they are this season, Leipzig could not score a goal goal because they don’t have a good squad like last season and they still haven’t make any good signings despite selling some important players, Simon and Sesko absent is going to affect Leipzig this season.

The duo of Luis Diaz, Harry Kane and Olise is going to be one of the best in Europe this season, those players are contribute to wining of the match, signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool is the best signing of Bayern Munich this season, the team can play with the absence of Musiala and score more than 4 goals in a game against Leipzig that is one of their big rivals in the league.

2 goals down against city, what a wonderful game for Tottenham even with Manchester city having total dominance but finding it difficult to see Tottenham's net. The same dominance we saw in Manchester united against arsenal That ended in favour of arsenal is about to repeat itself in today's game, but the end shall justify. All thanks to Johnson and joao for putting Tottenham ahead of Manchester city in today's game. I hope city comes back as they use to do in the game

The match was still underway, the second half hadn't even begun, but we all knew who would emerge victorious. In fact, West Ham performed quite well and managed to spring a surprise by taking an early one-goal lead over Chelsea in the sixth minute. Unfortunately, that lead was short-lived, and the score was now 3-1. With a two-goal deficit, I thought there was no chance for West Ham to equalize, and Chelsea might even continue scoring in the second half to further extend their lead.

Yesterday Flamengo had a very easy victory in the game against Internacional



I consider it an easy victory because Internacional didn't pose much danger to Flamengo. It was a game in which Flamengo was under less pressure and could have scored more than two goals if they had better leverage on their opportunities. In the first half alone, they could have scored at least two goals, and in the second half, they could also have scored at least two goals.

In total, Flamengo would have scored four goals in that game. Unfortunately, they aren't very effective in attack. They were lucky that their opponent was also weak in attack and weak in defense. That's why we won, but if we play against strong opponents, I believe our chances of losing will be greater.

Some results of today's games didn't surprise me, so I put some games from today in my parlay, such as the Braga game against Lincoln Red, I bet on Braga's victory and I was right. In that game, Braga won with relative ease, they managed to score 4 goals and didn't concede any goals, so Braga has a big advantage in the second leg, I think it's very difficult for Lincoln Red to reverse the result in the second leg.

Other games that I also expected the favorite to win were Malmo's game against Sigma. In this game, Malmo won quite easily, they managed to score 3 goals and not concede any goals. With this victory, I think it will be very difficult for Sigma to reverse this result in the second leg. I also expected Racing Genk to beat Lech. It was a very easy victory, with Racing Genk managing to score 5 goals and only conceding one goal. With this victory, I think it will be very difficult for Lech to reverse this result in the second leg.

Hacken - CFR Cluj 7-2 ...and this is the most embarrassing game that CFR Cluj played in their history of international competitions and I also think it's has been more than a decade since this team concede 7 goals in Romanian internal championship as well. So pretty much this is a historical defeat for this team and I hope they will learn something and next game they will make it look at least like a balanced game...

I keep wondering how these Vasco guys managed to score 6 goals against Santos



In this game against Juventude, for example, Vasco had 77% possession, but they couldn't even score a single goal. This often made me wonder how they managed to score 6 goals against Santos. Juventude didn't have a very strong defense, but Vasco still didn't score a single goal. Two interesting things are worth mentioning:

1 - In the last 5 games, Juventude has conceded a goal in every game; in some games, they even conceded 3 goals.

2 - Juventude lost to Santos, in a game in which they conceded 3 goals.

So, Santos scores 3 goals and beats Juventude, then concedes 6 goals against Vasco, who wins and scores 2 goals against Juventude. Honestly, the Brazilian league is very unpredictable.

Impressive results from the visiting side, they once again showed their dominance as a top teamm in the Saudi Pro League, they have been of very good performances for some seasons now and I believe they are not looking like they are stopping any soon.  Al ahli I believe took Qadsiah by surprise because they would not believe they were at any point going loose with such margin in this game.

The whole fun ended when Nigeria lost the two matches, everything was decided just after losing 3 points each with total of 6 points in Group stage of the tournament. Nigeria was down with 0 points but the two countries advancing already had 4 points on record, i least expected any good to come out from todays match against Congo, either winning or losing won't bring back the other points that was missed.

Nigeria isn't meant to be fighting not to end in last position, our target has always been finishing and advancing from first position or at our lowest second place, our progress to the next round of the tournament should have been a well deserved entry but we failed.

Attention, Attention!!!

Bodo/Glimt are coming to the Champions League and are having a great time.

They beat Sturm Graz 5-0 yesterday and played some excellent football. I didn't get a chance to watch the Bodo match because I was watching Fenerbahçe at the same time. I watched the highlights of the Bodo match. They play fantastic football. Unless they're facing top-tier teams in the Champions League, they'll easily beat most teams.
I've been following Bodo for two years and have become a huge fan. They're achieving great things with their modest squad and stadium.

Chelsea gets 1.71. That odds almost the same like the odds before the game against Palace was started. Yet it doesn't give me confidence to believe they will win it without putting so much effort. Although their opponent thrashed by promoted team last week, they shall have to be careful. I expect their opponent to play low block against them. It makes me to lower my expectation to believe they will win it with narrow score.

In a disappointing match, Trabzonspor defeated Kasımpaşa 0-1 away, moving up to 6 points in the league. Trabzonspor has been playing poorly for two weeks, but they still managed to pick up 6 points.
I didn't think Kasımpaşa was any better than last year. If Kasımpaşa continues to play poorly for another 3-4 weeks, Şota's second Kasımpaşa tenure will be over quickly.
The only thing that sticks out yesterday is the last-minute play. I think it's a penalty, because Saviç sees the ball coming, but he has no intention of going up. Had the same play been in midfield, a foul would have been awarded to Kasımpaşa, but because it was in the penalty area, the referee couldn't award a penalty. I think it's a clear penalty.
