The group stage of the UEFA Champions League is in full swing, and there are plenty of exciting games coming up this week. Some of the biggest clubs in soccer are in jeopardy of missing the knockout stages, which makes these upcoming games very crucial for them. Here is a preview of some of the games to look forward this week.
Tuesday, November 25.
Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich
Man City is in third place in the Premier League, but they have struggled so far in European play. They are still looking for their first win in Champions League play, after suffering two losses and drawing two games so far. They lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in their first meeting, and will be hoping for a win in the friendly confines of Etihad Stadium, to keep their slim hopes alive.
Bayern Munich has played very well so far, and is undefeated in group play, limiting their opponents to only one goal so far. They have already won the division, so they might decide to rest some of their players when they face Man City.
Game Line: Bayern Munich is favored in this match; the money line is +121.
Personal Pick: Manchester City will win, because Bayern will rest some players.
Shalke vs. Chelsea
This is a big match in Group G, because it may determine which of these teams finishes on top of the group. Chelsea currently leads the group with 8 points, and Shalke is second with five points, a win by Shalke will put them both at 8 points with one more game to go, which will make for an exciting finish. The first game, which was played at Stamford Bridge, resulted in a 1-1 draw, which is why Shalke is confident going into the second game which will be played at Veltins Arena.
Game Line: Chelsea is favored to win this match; the money line is -120.
Personal Pick: Shalke win take advantage of playing at home, and will win the match.
Wednesday, November 26.
Atletico Madrid vs. Olympiakos
Atletico lost the first game between these two teams 1-0, but are on top of the group with 9 points. Another win by Olympiakos will put them even at 9 points, with a chance to win the group in their final game, because they have an easier game at home against Malmo FF, while Atletico has a tough game against Juventus. Atletico will be playing in front of their fans, this time around, and will be hoping for a win.
Game Line: Atletico Madrid is favored in this match; the money line is -279.
Personal Pick: Atletico will avenge their loss to Olympiakos, and win this game.
Ludo Razgrad vs. Liverpool
Both teams have had a disappointing showing so far, with 1 win and 3 loss each, leaving them with only 3 points after four games. This is a big game for both teams, because a win by either team puts them at 6 points, and what will likely be a tie for second place, because FC Basel is going against Real Madrid, who is favored to win the game. A win against Ludo will be very beneficial for Liverpool, because it will set up a final game against Basel at Anfield, which will give them a good chance to qualify for the knockout stages.
Game Line: Liverpool is favored in this game; the money line is -118.
Personal Pick: Liverpool will win a close game.
