Napoli vs Real Madrid
Who’s going to win the 1st spot in Group C?!
Napoli welcomes Real Madrid in Diego Armando Maradona stadium after both teams won their opening duels in the group. After the victory against Braga (1:2) in the UEFA Champions League, Napoli played three Serie A duels. In the first one, Napoli played a draw against Bologna (0:0), but they did much better in the following two rounds, beating both Udinese (4:1) and Lecce (0:4).
Real Madrid is also highly motivated to prove their greatness in tonight’s duel. After beating Union Berlin (1:0) in the UEFA Champions League, unfortunately, they lost the derby game against Atletico Madrid (3:1) in La Liga. But the Madridians responded great by beating Las Palmas (2:0) and Girona (0:3).
Hence, we anticipate a great soccer duel in Naples in which the draw outcome will be a highly expected outcome.
Manchester United vs Galatasaray
Can Man United rise up?!
The Red Devils are extremely inconsistent. After back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, they also lost the UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich by 4:3. Then, Man United beat Burnley (0:1) in the league, followed by victory in the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace (3:0). But they faced in the Premier League against Crystal Palace right away and this time Man United lost the home match by 0:1.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, plays great in the Turkish Super Lig. Specifically, after 7 rounds they managed to win 6 games, and added one draw outcome. In the opening duel of the UEFA Champions League, they faced FC Copenhagen and performed a tied duel in Istanbul with a final score of 2:2.
Therefore, we expect a very attractive game in Old Trafford with multiple scored goals. The favorite for the win will be Manchester United FC because of their home arena’s advantage.
Lens vs Arsenal
Is Lens strong enough to win points against the Gunners?!
RC Lens launched this season in a disappointing manner. After the first 5 rounds in Ligue 1, they only managed to play a single draw game, losing the remaining 4 match-ups. But the great thing is that after the draw match in the UEFA Champions League against Sevilla (1:1), Lens won their last two games in Ligue 1 against Toulouse (2:1) and Strasbourg (0:1).
Arsenal still hasn’t lost a game this season. In the Premier League, they scored 5 wins and 2 draws. After beating PSV (4:0) in the UEFA Champions League, the Gunners also won the Carabao Cup game against Brentford (0:1). Plus, in the previous Premier League duel they won against Bournemouth by 0:4.
Hence, we expect an attractive soccer match in Lens with many goal-scoring chances in which the favorite for the win will be the visiting team, Arsenal FC.
RB Leipzig vs Manchester City
Are 3 losses in a row even possible for the reigning champions?!
RB Leipzig has played very well this season. After beating Young Boys (1:3) in the UEFA Champions League, RB Leipzig won the Bundesliga duel against Monchengladbach by 0:1. This was followed by a victory over Wehen (2:3) in the DFB Pokal Cup. And last Saturday they faced Bayern Munich and played a draw match with a final score of 2:2.
The Citizens, after winning the opening UEFA Champions League game against Crvena Zvezda (3:1), returned to the Premier League with a victory over Nottingham Forest (2:0). But surprisingly, Man City lost the Carabao Cup duel to Newcastle (1:0), followed by another loss, this time in the Premier League against the Wolves (2:1).
So tonight we are looking forward to a very dynamic match-up with multiple scored goals in which the slight favorite for the win will be Manchester City FC.
Newcastle vs PSG
A real quality test for the Magpies!
After the goalless UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan, Newcastle showcased a few impressive performances. First, they visited Sheffield United and won by an incredible final score of 0:8. Then Newcastle played against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and won the match by 1:0. And in the previous Premier League round the Magpies beat Burnley by 2:0.
After losing the match to Nice (2:3) in Ligue 1, PSG recovered by winning the first UEFA Champions League duel against Dortmund by 2:0. This was followed by another win in the French league over Marseille by 4:0. But in the previous round, PSG performed only a goalless game against Clermont.
So tonight we expect to see highly motivated teams at St. James’ Park and many dramatic moments till the very end of the match. The slight favorite for the win will be Newcastle United FC due to their home-field upper hand.
FC Porto vs Barcelona
Chance for FC Porto to recover immediately!
FC Porto did a great job in the UEFA Champions League opener against Shakhtar and won the match by 1:3. Then, in their domestic league FC Porto won the game against Gil Vicente by 2:1. But they suffered a very unpleasant defeat in the previous round against their biggest rival in Portugal, Benfica (1:0).
Barca on the other side started the UEFA Champions League tournament with a convincing victory over Antwerp with a final score of 5:0. Then, the Catalonians beat Celta Vigo (3:2), played a draw against Mallorca (2:2), and won their last challenger Sevilla by 1:0.
Thus, we expect a very attractive match-up in which FC Porto will try their best to bounce back with a victory. Yet, we label FC Barcelona as the favorite for the victory.
