UCL Preview and Predictions for this Week

Here we look at the game scheduled for this week and the teams to place bets on with odds.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen qualified for the knockout stage for the second time in their history after surviving a group with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Galatasaray. The Danish side comes out of the group stage second with 8 points after a shocking 1-0 home victory over Galatasaray.

It is notable to say Copenhagen managed to play a draw in their previous two encounters against Manchester City.

Prediction; Bet on Over 3.5 odds on 1xBet at 2.45 odds

Manchester City

Defending Champions Manchester City maintained their 100% run of form in the group stage, recording 18 points in total, and they became the team with the highest goal in the group stage, with City Talisman Erling Haaland scoring five goals at the stage.

Prediction: Erling Haaland to Score a Goal at Anytime on 1xBet at 1.60

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig finished second in Group G after a much-needed goal scored by Emil Forsberg gave the Bundesliga side a 2-1 home victory against Young Boys in their last group stage match.

The last time RB Leipzig hosted Real Madrid on their home soil, the result ended in a 3-2 victory for the German side.

Prediction: Bet on Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 on 1xBet at 1.61 odds

Real Madrid

Real Madrid had a 100% winning record in Group C, defeating Napoli, Braga, and Union Berlin both on their home soil and away from home. They recorded 16 goals in the group stage and conceded seven. Madrid Talisman Jude Bellingham made it four goals and three assists in the group stage.
