World Championship selection. Both teams have a lot of class in attack, so it is natural to expect a lot of action and at least a few goals in this match. The Netherlands are also facing serious problems with their defense, as some important players are not able to participate, which will make it difficult to stop one of the best attacks in the world. Moreover, the Netherlands' defense has not been performing well lately, conceding goals in official matches, including 5 against the same French team in the last European Championship (5-2). The French team also has some defensive weaknesses, although not as significant as the hosts, which should make it somewhat easier for the Netherlands to score.

The Atletico team were able to secure a favorable start in the first match, starting with Barcos receiving a red card, which essentially should have stopped Atletico from scoring, but still after a penalty kick, it turned into a goal and caused a lot of excitement due to the episode of not awarding a penalty kick to Atletico. Barca had an even worse situation against Atletico, where they needed to score 4 goals, which was very close. Today I have no doubt that Barcos will once again be a threat to the goal, so again I hope that the team will be able to come back and at least push the game into overtime. Real has handled their affairs in La Liga, so there is maximum motivation with the opportunity to grab the two most important trophies this season.

I liked how Liverpool looked the last time at Anfield against Galatasaray, so there is belief that they could light a fire and beat PSG. However, with a team like PSG and the speed they have, I don't know if keeping a clean sheet is possible. It won't be enough for Livei to just look for opportunities against PSG's defense, they will have to take risks, but with the support of our fans, the game should at least be more competitive on the attack. A good example is PSG's series with Chelsea, where even with a significant advantage, they conceded 3 goals and lost in England.

In the first match, Liverpool seemed miserable, creating almost nothing and playing quite cautiously. Nevertheless, now they can't switch to a defensive strategy and will have to attack and fight at least twice, which doesn't seem impossible at Anfield, but I think this risk will show in defense. PSG, with players like Dembele, Kvaratshkelia, Doue, Vitinha, and others, is one of the best counter-attacking teams in the world. I don't expect them not to punish the hosts at least once, or even for a longer period of time.

Bodo Glim should secure a win against Sarpsborg here, not just because there is a big difference between the teams, but because the guests will be extra motivated after a real disaster last weekend against Viking club... Bodo surprised everyone in the Champions League with their amazing game/underdog status, the season in Norway started well, and the first cup match was also a win, but suddenly, like rain from a clear sky, on Saturday they lost 5-0 to Viking club... it's hard to find a bigger WTF result this season... it doesn't reflect the current form of Bodo and Sarpsborg will not willingly be the redemption for them... Bodo can easily crush them in the first period.

You can't create much here, both teams we're facing have an insanely high amount of talent, two teams who can score 3 goals in one period without breaking a sweat... Bayern is a robot on the attack... Olise is in a stellar form, Kane is in a stellar form, Diaz is in a stellar form, and let's not forget players like Gnabry, Karl or Jackson who can really bring it... Real Madrid would be on the same level if it weren't for Mbappe, a world-class forward, but when he plays, he carries the whole team... just look at players like Valverde, Vini or even Guler while Mbappe was injured... as for Valverde, I'm completely silent about him... it's precisely because of the Real attack being among the elite that I believe the winner of this series will be determined by just one step below Bayern.
So the fact that Bayern has a 2-1 lead won't change their playing style at all, Real will come with the goal of winning the game, attacking and scoring goals, but Bayern will have the exact same mindset and that's why I'm expecting a lot of goals from both teams from the very first period.

The Arsenal team continues to maintain their style of play with minimal goals. Since March 1, Arsenal has not exceeded a total of 3 goals in any of their 10 matches. In the knockout stages of the Champions League, Arsenal did not score any goals in all 3 of their games. While Sporting is falling behind, I do not believe that the team will change their tactics and start playing open football from the beginning, so I think everything points to under.

Well, I don't know, but the first game was a complete disaster, yet Porto managed to not win. 5 big chances missed and goals conceded is just incomprehensible, especially in such an important game when in a situation where, while messing around, a defender manages to score an own goal against their own goalkeeper. Porto's team is stronger, and I think Nottingham should focus more on staying in the league than European cups.
