I wonder why not more people are looking to teams like Lazio. They had some bad games too, but still look far more stable than Manchester United in my opinion.

I think I'm really starting to like the new system . Although it felt strange at first, having each team play against seven different teams has made team choices more fun and has also made it easier for surprise teams to advance to the next rounds. Even though three matches have been played, we still can't say for sure that any team will 'definitely qualify' or 'definitely be eliminated.' This makes both watching the games and betting more enjoyable.

When we look at the current standings, we get an idea of the top 8, but it will probably change completely after the next 5 matches. The last game of the group stage will be played at the end of January, and I’d like to leave a prediction (or maybe just a note) for that time already.



When we take a look at the current standings, I think a few of these teams are only here temporarily. Lazio, Tottenham, Ajax, and Galatasaray are teams that are here now and that I believe will still be here when the group stage ends. Outside of this list;



Actually, I don't have a thought like 'this team will probably finish in the top 8' about any team. But that’s what makes this system great. I remember making a ranking prediction for each group in the old system, and two of my group predictions ended up exactly as I guessed. Right now, I think making predictions would require a very deep analysis. Do you have a top 8?
