Football

Bodo defeated serious opponents and advanced, but this should be the end. Such rumors are fun, but we need to look at things realistically. Sporting is a very good team, with only 1 loss in 25 games in the strong Portuguese league. They currently hold the 7th place in the Champions League group, with a high goal count. Although Bodo also scores goals, it is rare to see them conceding in matches. The odds were surprising, considering that this team has much better players and plays good football, yet are still seen as underdogs.

Real Madrid is not playing good football, their offense is struggling and their defense is weak. With the absence of Bellingham, Mbappe, and Rodrygo, Vinicius and Garcia will most likely play in the front, but they are not very effective at scoring goals. I believe it will be a tough game for Real. Man City is on a good streak, and after their win against Bodo they seem very confident. Haaland has started scoring, while Semenyo is a complete leader. They are simply a much better team and in better form at the moment.

A solid and stronger Shakhtar club should already look better from the first away match against Lech. After returning from Peru, the Ukrainian championship allows for expectations of good and stable form from the Donetsk club, and the home matches are also played in Ukraine. For them, this is not something new in the Conference League as they play at the Krakow Stadium.

In this pair, there is a clear favorite, who I think has already shown it since the first away match. Braga is in good form, although they have not been very lucky in terms of victories in recent matches, they are still able to defeat or at least not lose to stronger teams. Therefore, I also believe that they will perform successfully against Ferencvaros.

Even though Sigma team unexpectedly lost in the 16th final, now the Germany club has to put everything together on their shelves. Even though there has been no support from the Mainz club in Peru recently, the game was good and played against top Germany league teams, so Peru looks particularly impressive against the Czech club.
