UEFA Champions League/UCL predictions for Matchday 3
Barcelona vs Olympiacos
Barcelona are in fine form at the moment, and with the game also being at the Nou Camp, we see no chances for Olympiacos here
Prediction - Barcelona 3-1 Olympiacos
Kairat vs Pafos
Both these teams are 1st in their respective domestic league's, and thus we expect this to be a tight game that ends in a stalemate.
Prediction - Kairat 2-2 Pafos
Newcastle vs Benfica
Newcastle have been in mixed form this season, but with new star player Nick Woltemade continuing his terrific form, we feel he will lead them to victory here.
Prediction - Newcastle United 3-2 Benfica
PSV vs Napoli
Napoli will be coming from a league game loss against Torino against PSV, and we expect them to get back to winning ways here.
Prediction - PSV 1-3 Napoli
Leverkusen vs PSG
The reigning defending European Champions are just way too strong for Leverkusen, and there'll be no surprises here we strongly believe.
Prediction - Leverkusen 1-4 PSG
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Inter
Union Saint-Gilloise might be 1st in their domestic league, but Inter Milan in the Champions League is a different beast to overcome.
Prediction - Union Saint-Gilloise 2-4 Inter Milan
Copenhagen vs Dortmund
Similar to Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund is another team that showcases the best version of themselves in Europe's top club tournament. Thus, we expect nothing less than a loss for Copenhagen.
Prediction - Copenhagen 1-3 Borussia Dortmund
Villareal vs Manchester City
When Erling Haaland is in such unbelievable form, we simply don't see a club like Villareal even having the slightest chance here.
Prediction - Villareal 1-4 Manchester City
Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid
This game has Champions League classics written all over it, and we feel the Gunners will be too strong for Atlético Madrid although it'll be a tight contest.
Prediction - Arsenal 3-2 Atlético Madrid
Athletic Club vs Qarabag FK
Athletic Club are struggling in La Liga while Qarabag have been excellent in their league. We expect a draw here.
Prediction - Athletic club 2-2 Qarabag FK
Galatasaray vs Bodø/Glimt
Galatasaray boast some exquisite players in their squad like Victor Osimhen, and we feel the superior squad quality will make the difference against Bodø/Glimt.
Prediction - Galatasaray 2-0 Bodø/Glimt
Chelsea vs Ajax
Chelsea are on a 3-game winning streak as it ends, and they appear too strong for Ajax. Thus, we predict their 4th win in a row in all competitions.
Prediction - Chelsea 3-1 Ajax
Real Madrid vs Juventus
Real Madrid vs Juventus would usually be classified as such a huge game, but the truth is that Juventus are now a shadow of the club they used to be. Expect Kylian Mbappe and co to blow them out of the water.
Prediction - Real Madrid 4-1 Juventus
Sporting vs Marseille
This is bound to be a close contest between 2 sides who are performing brilliantly in their respective league's. Another game of shared points we feel.
Prediction - Sporting 2-2 Marseille
Monaco vs Tottenham
Tottenham have been in shaky form recently, and this might end up being a difficult away trip we predict.
Prediction - Monaco 2-2 Tottenham
Atalanta vs Slavia Praha
Atalanta are struggling in Serie A, but we are sure they have enough quality to overcome Slavia Praha.
Prediction - Atalanta 1-0 Slavia Praha
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool
Liverpool have been in their worst ever phase under Arne Slot, but we feel the game against Frankfurt will see them back to winning ways.
Prediction - Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Liverpool
Bayern vs Club Brugge
There is only one way this game will end considering the form of Bayern Munich and Harry Kane.
Prediction - Bayern Munich 5-0 Club Brugge
