    I f---ing hate Porto. That team is cursed for me lol
    When I don't bet on them they win, when I place a bet on them they either lose or draw. I lost a ticket once because they weren't able to score a goal lol

    I'll just put out my predictions here from early
    @SoccerSXN

    Barca vs PSG

    PSG without zlatan are much less imposing in attack and are less coordinated under emery, and with barca slowly regaining the world beating form and the subs finally being properly integrated, not even injuries can help PSG.

    Real vs Napoli

    Bale or no Bale, It's RM, and that back 4 is pretty solid. Arguably the most complete team in europe with Casemiro back in the squad, and with kroos coming off injury, this should be a walk in the park.

    Leicester City vs Sevilla

    Underestimate either at your peril, Leicester especially looking back to near their best after beating City, and both play hardworking football. Really hard to tell, sevilla's high press could be vulnerable to Vardy's partnership with Marhez which could make for some great counters, but the sevilla midfield has enough offensively and defensively to choke the foxes, and barring any serious mistakes, Sevilla just look a better team

    Atletico vs Bayer Lev.

    Atletico will be without their main goalkeeper for a few months, and with as clinical a finisher as Chichorito, leverkusen will look to push for the win against a vulnerable Atleti goal.
    That said, realistically speaking, If atleti regain their form before the match, their midfield and defensive relentlessness should cut out any attack before it gets threatening, and with atletico boasting a more dangerous attacking unit than last year, They should be able to take the win.

    Arsenal vs Bayern

    As much as we all want the gunners to put up a fight against Bayern, Unlike the Spanish giants who frankly have a harder time locally than in the champions league, Bayern's bench is strong enough to beat almost any other German side by it's own, and arsenal won't be shown any mercy. Wenger has admittedly much improved the squad, but the real problem isn't just how good the Starting XI's match up. It's that the German's have no fear on the road, but NOBODY enjoys a trip to the allianz. Allainz result will seal the victory.


    anyone have any thoughts on the other matches, because none of them interest me in the slightest.

    To clarify, it's not that i think Bayern WILL beat arsenal, but they will at the allianz, and i doubt arsenal could put up enough to match whatever the slaughterfest will turn out to be.

    True. Draxler is just what we need. Sick of watching Chamberlain, im afraid he will never be good enough (he have the potential though, but his end product is horrible)

    Yeah I love Ox but I'm not sure he'll ever reach that high ceiling everyone thought he would. Still a very good player, but not somebody who should always be a 1st team choice. Draxler is a clear upgrade.

    Did you know that wenger has tried signing Ronaldo and Zlatan before they were famous. It's not that he doesn't know who to sign, It's just that he has terrible luck getting the ones he wants.

    He declined because wenger asked him to do an auditioning trial
    Zlatan then famously quoted: "Zlatan does not do trials"
