Chelsea - Slavia Prague

Even in the local championship, the Utrecht club, which struggles against average teams, is hosting a very strong Lyon team in good form. The French have only suffered one loss, but otherwise seem very confident and it is highly possible that they will dictate the game against the Netherlands. The decent lineup and experience show that it should be Peru celebrating here.

I apologize, but I cannot find any nice words about Aston Villa's performance in these mushrooms. In 5 league matches, only 1 goal was scored and that was mostly from the 30th minute and still managed to play evenly and have a lower xG than the opponents. Bologna is an interesting Italian team with a good roster and playing style. Yes, there have been two losses away, but they also played against Milan and hired a great coach from Roma, and the losses were by a minimal margin, and the ball possession was on Bologna's side. I don't know what needs to happen for Bologna to lose against Villa this season, looking at their gameplay and results.

Porto is the clear favorite for this match. Salzburg has experience in European competitions, including the Champions League, but Porto has even more. Additionally, their current forms are significantly different. It is clear that the Austrians started the season earlier, but they are currently struggling in the domestic league and do not have the same level of dominance as before. Porto has a strong record, with 6 matches, 15 goals scored and only 1 conceded, putting them in first place. They have even defeated Sporting, the defending champions.

Porto plays very well and if the offense works, then the defense works even better. 6 matches and only 1 goal conceded. This defense can be crucial against opponents like Salzburg, who struggle with their defense. It seemed like Salzburg had found their form, but 3 consecutive poor matches have taken away confidence in them.
