25. 0:46And then once those are all over, we'll

27. 0:51Liga for you next weekend as well. So,
28. 0:53plenty of stuff coming up for you over
29. 0:54the next few days on the SO99 channel.
30. 0:57As for today though, we have got nine
31. 0:59matches to cover in the Champions
32. 1:01League. All matches taking place on
33. 1:03Tuesday night. So, without any further
34. 1:05ado, let's get straight into it. We
35. 1:07begin with the first early kickoff
36. 1:09coming from Turkey with two sides who
37. 1:12massively underperformed last week. Now
38. 1:14to be fair, I did predict both of these
39. 1:16sides to lose, but not quite to the
40. 1:18extent that they did, especially in the
41. 1:21case of Fenabach, who lost 6 nil away to
42. 1:25Aston Villa. Now, I could sit here and
43. 1:27say they didn't help themselves by us
44. 1:29giving away a penalty, but when he did
45. 1:31that, they were already 3-0 down. And
46. 1:34hilariously, if you look at the stats
47. 1:36from that game, apart from the score
48. 1:38line, it would actually suggest that it
49. 1:41was a rather close encounter. However,
50. 1:42Aston Villa were absolutely lethal at
51. 1:45their end of the pitch while Fenabach
52. 1:47were incredibly wasteful at their end.
53. 1:49And that means coming into match day
54. 1:51three. They have just one point from
55. 1:53their opening two games. That is though
56. 1:55still one more point than what Slavia
57. 1:57Prague has got as they have zero from
58. 1:59their first two games. But much like
59. 2:01Fenabach last week, they controlled more
60. 2:04possession and ended up having more
61. 2:06attempts than their Azabaijani hosts
62. 2:08last week. But also like Fenabachce,
63. 2:10they found themselves incredibly
64. 2:12wasteful in front of goal and had up to
65. 2:14five big chances missed in the game.
66. 2:17They also had two shots on goal cleared
67. 2:19off the line. And they were made to pay
68. 2:21for all of those missed chances at the
69. 2:23start and at the end of the second half
70. 2:25as two long-ranged efforts found their
71. 2:27way into the net, leaving it a massive
72. 2:29uphill task already for Slavia Prague to
73. 2:32even make it into the playoffs at the
74. 2:34end of this league phase. This weekend,
75. 2:36Fenabachce bounced back in the best way
76. 2:38possible, winning 3-0il at home to
77. 2:40Alaniaspor. Meanwhile, Slavia were once
78. 2:43again disappointing as they could only
79. 2:45manage a nil nil draw at home to Cryova.
80. 2:48In terms of the team news, ahead of our
81. 2:50opening game, Marco Asencio remains a
82. 2:52doubt for Fenabach. While Slavia could
83. 2:55still have up to four players out
84. 2:56injured that were all injured on
85. 2:58international duty a couple of weeks
86. 3:00ago. The last time these two sides met
87. 3:02it was in the Europa League two years
88. 3:04ago where Fenabache won 2-1 in Prague.
89. 3:08Now back at home, this really should be
90. 3:10a game that I would expect them to win.
91. 3:12I'm starting off with a 2-nil win to
92. 3:14Fenabache. The other early kickoff comes
93. 3:17from Azabaijan then and we have Sabah
94. 3:20hosting Barishia Dortmund with both
95. 3:22sides having won their opening home
96. 3:24games in the Champions League but sides
97. 3:26losing their away games. Last week,
98. 3:28Sabah maintained their unbelievable home
99. 3:30record in Europe so far this season in
100. 3:33what was their first official home game
101. 3:35of the tournament. But they were robbed
102. 3:36of their initial joy when a first half
103. 3:39goal was ruled out for offside. But when
104. 3:40their big moments came in the second
105. 3:42half, my word were they worth the wait
106. 3:44cuz after Paris's goal was ruled out in
107. 3:47the first half, hit it was him again
108. 3:48whose brilliant strike put them 1 nil
109. 3:50ahead. And in the second goal, a 35 yd
110. 3:54eterate from Mikkels made it 2-0.
111. 3:56Although to be fair there was some
112. 3:57horrendous defending around that second
113. 3:59goal. I can't sit here and say it was an
114. 4:01absolute worldy from 35 yards but still
115. 4:04he scored it and he made it an
116. 4:05absolutely historic win for the
117. 4:07Azabaijani club. And that means if you
118. 4:09include the qualifiers it is five home
119. 4:12wins out of five for Sabah and now
120. 4:14they're going to be taking on Berishia
121. 4:16Dortmund who well last week against a
122. 4:18side with an outstanding home record in
123. 4:21Bodo Glimp they were on the receiving
124. 4:23end of a one-nil defeat. And now look,
125. 4:26they can use the excuse that they did
126. 4:28rotate out the vast majority of their
127. 4:30starting lineup, but player for player,
128. 4:32in my opinion, they probably still
129. 4:34should have won that match. And if you
130. 4:35look at the stats, you watch the
131. 4:37highlights, it was pretty clear to me
132. 4:38that they absolutely did deserve to be
133. 4:40on the losing team that day. And if they
134. 4:43make similar mistakes in terms of team
135. 4:44selection this time around, I think they
136. 4:46could be in trouble here as well. This
137. 4:48weekend, Sabah won 4-nil away to
138. 4:51Cabbala. And that also means it is three
139. 4:53clean sheets in a row for them coming
140. 4:55into this one. Brussia Dortmund could
141. 4:57only manage a nil nil draw away to Uni
142. 4:59on Berlin. So that is three games
143. 5:01without a win for Dortmund and also two
144. 5:04games without scoring. In terms of the
145. 5:06team news, no fresh issues for either
146. 5:08side. But the question really remains,
147. 5:10what are British Dortmund going to do?
148. 5:12Are they going to play their stronger
149. 5:13lineup this time or are they going to
150. 5:15rotate again and risk losing as they did
151. 5:18last week? With Sabah still five wins
152. 5:20from five on this ground. And with
153. 5:21Dortmund winless in three, I really do
154. 5:24think that there is a massive chance for
155. 5:26the home side to get something from this
156. 5:27match. I'm just not completely confident
157. 5:31in them yet that they are going to pull
158. 5:32off this result. And obviously if
159. 5:34Dortmund do play their strongest lineup,
160. 5:36I would still expect them to win. So I'm
161. 5:38going to go for a narrow 1- nil to
162. 5:40British Dortmund for now. But genuinely
163. 5:42watch this space. I think Sabah could
164. 5:44spring another big upset here. On to the
165. 5:47late kickoffs then and the first of the
166. 5:48late kickoffs comes from Portugal where
167. 5:50we have FC Porto taking on PSV Einhovven
168. 5:53of the Netherlands. Plenty of drama for
169. 5:56both of these sides in Europe last week
170. 5:57but in the end both were on the
171. 5:59receiving ends of defeat. for Porto. It
172. 6:02was a highly entertaining back and forth
173. 6:04game away to Real Betis and a game full
174. 6:06of hostilities as well. But even goals
175. 6:09from Spanish duro Gabria and Samu Agua
176. 6:12were not enough to top the Spanish side
177. 6:14from scoring three at the other end of
178. 6:16the pitch. Francisco Mora is going to
179. 6:18have to hang his head in shame because
180. 6:19he gave away the crucial penalty in the
181. 6:22final 10 minutes which subjected Porto
182. 6:24to their second defeat of the Champions
183. 6:26League so far which means it's zero
184. 6:28points from their opening two games. As
185. 6:30for PSV, there was penalty drama for
186. 6:32them as well as they were away to RB
187. 6:34Leipzig in Germany. And it was actually
188. 6:36the Dutch side who were awarded the
189. 6:38penalty in the first half and upstepped
190. 6:41veteran Ivan Perisic who tried to play
191. 6:43it straight down the middle of the goal,
192. 6:45but the goalkeeper was able to get a
193. 6:47foot to it. And unfortunately from that
194. 6:49point onwards PSB really failed to
195. 6:51create any other moments of significance
196. 6:54in the attacking areas of the pitch and
197. 6:56they took a bit of a second half
198. 6:57battering from Leipig and eventually
199. 6:59their defense was breached with Leipig
200. 7:01scoring the only goal of the game and
201. 7:03taking a 1-nil victory. But I guess the
202. 7:05only positive that PSV have coming into
203. 7:07this is that they have still got one
204. 7:09point from their opening two games
205. 7:11whereas Porto have none. This weekend,
206. 7:13Porto were not in action as it was the
207. 7:15opening rounds of the Portuguese Cup.
208. 7:17So, they got the weekend off. PSV were
209. 7:19in action once again, but it was defeat
210. 7:22for them once again. This time away to
211. 7:24Denhog, which means that they have lost
212. 7:26their last three away games in a row in
213. 7:29all competitions. In terms of the team
214. 7:31news, no fresh concerns for the home
215. 7:33side, but Gustill failed to make it to
216. 7:35Halime for PSB this weekend and is
217. 7:37likely to join a long list of absentees
218. 7:40for the Dutch side ultimately. Right
219. 7:42now, in my opinion, all signs do point
220. 7:45to a Porto victory here. They may have
221. 7:47lost both matches in the Champions
222. 7:48League so far, but they've played pretty
223. 7:50damn well in both matches. And the
224. 7:52overall form of these two sides suggest
225. 7:54to me that the momentum and also player
226. 7:56for player, it really should be Porto
227. 7:58that come out on top. I'm going for a
228. 8:00Portuguese win, and I'm going for 3-1 to
229. 8:03FC Porto. Game four comes from England
230. 8:07as Liverpool, the home of the Beatles,
231. 8:09host the yellow submarine of Villa
232. 8:11Royale with both sides victorious on
233. 8:13match day two. For Liverpool, it was
234. 8:15absolutely mental game against Lask of
235. 8:18Austria where they were comfortable in
236. 8:20terms of the score line throughout the
237. 8:22match as Bradley Barker scored a
238. 8:24hat-tick. But after the score became 3-0
239. 8:26to Liverpool, the whole second half just
240. 8:28went a little bit crazy and it ended up
241. 8:30being 63 to the English side. Yes, it
242. 8:34was the right result, but if they defend
243. 8:35the way they did in the second half of
244. 8:37that game, they'll find it much harder
245. 8:39to be comfortable in victory this time
246. 8:41around. Although, it should be noted
247. 8:43they still come into this with two wins
248. 8:45from their opening two matches. As for
249. 8:47Villa Royale, they lost their away
250. 8:49fixture on match day one, but they come
251. 8:52into this strong on match day two after
252. 8:53beating Napoli 3-1 at home. In that
253. 8:56game, they actually fell behind in the
254. 8:58match after being unable to deal with a
255. 9:00quick corner routine. But after
256. 9:01Midukatsuke was gifted an equalizer,
257. 9:04Villa Royale really put their foot down
258. 9:06with Mourinho scoring straight away to
259. 9:08make it 2-1. And then when Napoli pushed
260. 9:10for an equalizer late on, Oliveri hit
261. 9:12them on the counterattack and rounded
262. 9:14off the scoring, meaning that Villa
263. 9:15Royale have already got more wins in the
264. 9:18Champions League this season than they
265. 9:19got in the entirety of last season's
266. 9:22competition. This weekend, Liverpool
267. 9:24made it back-to- back wins with a 2-1
268. 9:26victory away to Brenford. Although it
269. 9:28should be noted that Brenford ended that
270. 9:30game with nine men. And it was only
271. 9:32after Brenford went down to 10 that
272. 9:33Liverpool came back into it. Very were
273. 9:36unable to back up their victory by only
274. 9:38being able to draw nil nil at home to
275. 9:40Elchce in a game where they were very
276. 9:42wasteful in front of goal. In terms of
277. 9:44the team news, both Dominic Solay and
278. 9:46Jeremy Frimong went off injured for
279. 9:48Liverpool this weekend and will remain
280. 9:50doubts for this match. No fresh issues
281. 9:52for the Spanish side. Last time these
282. 9:55two sides met, it was back in 2022 with
283. 9:58Liverpool winning both home and away.
284. 10:00This time around, I would expect a
285. 10:02similar outcome, but I do think Villa
286. 10:03Royale are going to make this
287. 10:05competitive. I'm going for a 21 win to
288. 10:08Liverpool. Staying in England for game
289. 10:11five, we now have Manchester City taking
290. 10:13on AK Athens of Greece. Athens playing
291. 10:16their second game in England in a week
292. 10:17after playing Shaktar at Stamford Bridge
293. 10:20last week. With the rumors circulating
294. 10:22that if another guilty verdict is passed
295. 10:24on Manchester City this week that UEFA
296. 10:26could ban them for 10 years, it's
297. 10:28probably best that we just focus on the
298. 10:30on pitch activities. Well, last week
299. 10:32City were absolutely played off the park
300. 10:34by Paris Sanja. I think the only
301. 10:36surprise come the full-time whistle is
302. 10:38that they didn't end up losing the game
303. 10:40by significantly more than they did
304. 10:42because Donnaruma did end up making some
305. 10:44real crucial saves in the first half.
306. 10:46However, he could only prevent the
307. 10:47scoring from being four as the French
308. 10:49side ran away with it if it wasn't for
309. 10:51Erling Harland still being prolific at
310. 10:53the other end of the pitch. It could
311. 10:54have been a lot more embarrassing than
312. 10:56the 4-2 score line it actually was. And
313. 10:58that means coming into this game they
314. 11:00find themselves only one goal above
315. 11:02their Greek opposition in the Champions
316. 11:04League table. That is because after
317. 11:06winning on match day one, AAK Athens
318. 11:08were also on the receiving end of a
319. 11:09defeat on match day two. Things did get
320. 11:11off to an absolutely brilliant start for
321. 11:13them against Shhat Janest as Croatian
322. 11:15midfielder Mayer put them 1 nil ahead,
323. 11:17but unfortunately they then absolutely
324. 11:19hit the self-destruct button. Firstly,
325. 11:21Realbas gave away a penalty which
326. 11:23allowed Shakar to draw level. But then
327. 11:25it was an absolutely horrendous
328. 11:27goalkeeping error which allowed Shakar
329. 11:29to gohead in the game with Brignoli in
330. 11:31the Athens goal. very lucky that this
331. 11:34goal hasn't gone down as an own goal as
332. 11:36the Shakar player drilled the ball
333. 11:37across the area and he sort of fell over
334. 11:40and kicked the ball into the roof of his
335. 11:42own net. It was absolutely horrendous
336. 11:44goalkeeping. Nothing he could have done
337. 11:45about Shaktar's third to be fair, but at
338. 11:47the end of the game 3-1 it finished and
339. 11:50now away to a Manchester City side at
340. 11:52home. You do fear for their chances
341. 11:54here. That being said, this weekend
342. 11:56Manchester City only just saw off
343. 11:58Ipswichtown 3-2 here. And again, it
344. 12:01wasn't the most convincing display from
345. 12:03the English side. Athens had their match
346. 12:05postponed with this game in mind, so
347. 12:07they'll be fresh and ready for this
348. 12:09match. In terms of the team news,
349. 12:10Manchester City will likely rotate a
350. 12:12fair few players as they did rest
351. 12:14against Ipsswich this weekend. Also, no
352. 12:16new issues for Athens who may opt for
353. 12:18changes following their defeat on match
354. 12:20day two. Ultimately, it would be a major
355. 12:23major shock if this was anything other
356. 12:25than a comfortable Manchester City
357. 12:27victory. The only question for me is
358. 12:29whether or not AK Athens will score.
359. 12:31Right now, I'm going to say no and I'm
360. 12:33going to go for a 4-nil victory to
361. 12:35Manchester City. Now, it's time for the
362. 12:38ever so small matter of Paris Sanjaman
363. 12:41taking on Barcelona. If the status of
364. 12:44these two clubs weren't already big
365. 12:46enough after just the first two games of
366. 12:48the Champions League this season,
367. 12:50they're already first and second in the
368. 12:52table. For Paris Sanjgeran, they proved
369. 12:54once again why they are the back-to-back
370. 12:56champions of Europe and arguably the
371. 12:58best side in world football. Although
372. 13:00Chelsea fans will remind them of what
373. 13:01happened in the World Cup final last
374. 13:03year against English opposition. This
375. 13:04time though they were absolutely pure
376. 13:07Parisian brilliance against Manchester
377. 13:09City as goals from Dway Dembele Vitinia
378. 13:12and Akleu secured them a 42 victory. But
379. 13:15it really was the quality of their
380. 13:17buildup play that still beggars belief
381. 13:19at times and it was yet another
382. 13:21thoroughly deserved victory for the
383. 13:23French side. As for Barcelona, they were
384. 13:25very dominant once again, but
385. 13:27surprisingly fell behind to Galatas on
386. 13:30match day two, but that only seemed to
387. 13:32spark them into life even more cuz in
388. 13:34the space of 20 minutes, Xiao Canel,
389. 13:36Furine Lopez, Anthony Gordon, and Kareem
390. 13:39Admy had made it 41 to Barcelona. Just
391. 13:42like PSG, they cruised to back-to-back
392. 13:45victories, but it is the Parisian side
393. 13:47that has a onegoal lead over them in the
394. 13:50table. Albeit they have conceded one
395. 13:53more goal as well. This weekend PSG had
396. 13:56to come from behind to beat Strasburg,
397. 13:58but that is exactly what they did,
398. 13:59winning it by three goals to one to make
399. 14:01it six wins in a row. Barcelona had
400. 14:04another epic clash with Real Bettis and
401. 14:06it ended up being 52 in the end, but
402. 14:09that only came after Rail Bettis had a
403. 14:11red card, but it is 11 wins in a row for
404. 14:14the Spanish side. Something is going to
405. 14:16have to give here. In terms of the team
406. 14:18news, PSG did rest multiple key players
407. 14:20for the Strasburg game this weekend, but
408. 14:22Nuno Mendes is going to be injured for
409. 14:25this match. Barcelona lost Gerard Martan
410. 14:27and is going to be without Eric Garcia
411. 14:29for this match, but they did welcome
412. 14:31back Rafinia and Frankie Dong for their
413. 14:34game at the weekend and both could start
414. 14:35here. Four out of the last five meetings
415. 14:39between these two sides have been won by
416. 14:41the team playing away from home and that
417. 14:44includes PSG winning the last two games
418. 14:46last season. This one for me is an
419. 14:48absolute pure coin flip as far as I'm
420. 14:50concerned. Both play out sides are
421. 14:52playing absolutely outstanding football
422. 14:54at the moment. And quite frankly for me,
423. 14:56this is may the best team win. Right
424. 14:59now, I'm going to go for the
425. 15:00back-to-back Champions League winners
426. 15:02purely because they're at home. I think
427. 15:04if Barcel were at home, I'd go for the
428. 15:05same score line in their favor. But
429. 15:07honestly, I'm just looking forward to
430. 15:08watching this one. It's going to be an
431. 15:10absolute epic. I'm going for a 32 win to
432. 15:13Paris Sanjgeran. The first Italian side
433. 15:16in action this week is going to be as
434. 15:19Roma and they're going to be hosting the
435. 15:21bottom of the tableside Sloan Bratislava
436. 15:23of Slovakia. For the home side, they
437. 15:26simply will not able to believe how they
438. 15:28ended up losing their match day two game
439. 15:30at home to Real Madrid last week. They
440. 15:32were absolutely outstanding and the
441. 15:34goals that they scored in the match were
442. 15:36brilliant as well. Firstly, the run's
443. 15:37longrange strike and then Donaniel
444. 15:39Marland's double on the counterattack
445. 15:41put them 3-1 up on the night. But then
446. 15:43in the final 10 minutes, they simply
447. 15:46could not handle the Real Madrid
448. 15:48corners. And three goals in 10 minutes,
449. 15:51all from corners subjected Roma to a
450. 15:53defeat. But at least on paper, they're
451. 15:55going to have significantly easier
452. 15:57opposition here. That is because for
453. 15:59Slavan Bratislava, it is backto-back
454. 16:01defeats. And on match day two, they gave
455. 16:03it a good go at home to German side
456. 16:05Stogart by only having one fewer shot in
457. 16:07the match. But that really is a false
458. 16:09reflection on the actual quality of the
459. 16:12chances and the German side were way way
460. 16:14stronger in terms of how they actually
461. 16:16played the game with them scoring a pair
462. 16:18of goals either side of a crew's own
463. 16:20goal which means that Sloan come into
464. 16:22this game having conceded nine goals in
465. 16:25their opening two matches of the
466. 16:26Champions League and they are not
467. 16:27fancied to do particularly any better
468. 16:30this time around either. This weekend,
469. 16:32Roma got back to winning ways
470. 16:34domestically as they won 2-0 at home to
471. 16:36Genua. And after three games without a
472. 16:38win, that was a much needed result.
473. 16:40Sloan also won and also got a clean
474. 16:42sheet this weekend to win a 3-nil
475. 16:44victory away to Shrana. In terms of the
476. 16:46team news, there are no fresh issues for
477. 16:48either side coming out of the weekend,
478. 16:49but Roma will continue to monitor the
479. 16:51fitness of Paulo Dybala, who only played
480. 16:53the first half last week against Real
481. 16:55Madrid and didn't feature this weekend.
482. 16:57These two do actually have a
483. 16:59head-to-head record, but it spans back
484. 17:0115 years where over two legs, Sloven
485. 17:04actually knocked Roma out of the Europa
486. 17:06League after drawing here in the second
487. 17:09leg. Right now, a repeat of that score
488. 17:11line looks incredibly unlikely, though.
489. 17:13Surely Roma take a comfortable victory
490. 17:16here. I'm going for a two-nil win to the
491. 17:18Italian side. Staying in Italy for our
492. 17:22penultimate game on Tuesday night then
493. 17:23and we now have Napoli hosting Bodo
494. 17:25Glimp of Norway. On match day two,
495. 17:28Napoli found themselves ahead against
496. 17:29Villa Royale when a corner routine found
497. 17:31its way to Rammani and realistically
498. 17:33they should have been two or 3-0 up
499. 17:36before the Spanish side made it 1-1 and
500. 17:38that was down to a Matteo Politano
501. 17:40mistake as he literally throughled it to
502. 17:42the Villa Royale forward who ended up
503. 17:44equalizing. From that point onwards,
504. 17:46Napoli completely crumbled because a
505. 17:48couple of minutes later, it was 2-1 to
506. 17:50the Spanish side. And even though they
507. 17:52pushed late on to find an equalizer,
508. 17:54they were then hit on the counterattack
509. 17:56again, making it 3-1 to Villa Royale.
510. 17:58And also meaning it is backto back
511. 18:00defeats for Napoli to start off their
512. 18:02European campaign. After failing to even
513. 18:05make the playoffs in last season's
514. 18:06Champions League, there is big pressure
515. 18:08on them already to not end up repeating
516. 18:10that failing this season as well. For
517. 18:13Bodo Glimp, they just do what Bodo Glimp
518. 18:16do best and that is beat the most famous
519. 18:18sides in European football. And they did
520. 18:20it last week against Biscia Dortmund as
521. 18:22the German side were the latest victims
522. 18:24of the Aspirra Stadion. And it was no
523. 18:27more than Bodo Glimp deserved,
524. 18:28especially considering how they started
525. 18:30the second half in that match. But they
526. 18:32could have easily scored two or three
527. 18:34before she bolds calm finish at the near
528. 18:36post put them into a one-goal lead. That
529. 18:39is actually how it finished, but
530. 18:40genuinely it could have been more. and
531. 18:42that means that they have got three
532. 18:43points on the board and have won their
533. 18:45last six games in a row in the Champions
534. 18:48League at home. However, a quick
535. 18:50reminder that their last two competitive
536. 18:52Champions League matches away from home
537. 18:54have both resulted in 5-nil defeats,
538. 18:57including away to Bayern Munich on match
539. 18:59day one. This weekend, Napoli made
540. 19:02things even worse for themselves when
541. 19:04they lost away to Venetsia in Syria, a
542. 19:06side that had lost every single game in
543. 19:09Syria so far this season. It just shows
544. 19:11how poor Napoli have been so far this
545. 19:14season. As for Bodo, they picked up a
546. 19:16two-nil win away to Ham, meaning that
547. 19:18they come into this on a run of four
548. 19:21wins in a row. So, as far as I'm
549. 19:23concerned, the momentum and the
550. 19:24confidence is firmly with the away side
551. 19:27here. In terms of the team news, and to
552. 19:29give Napoli some credit back, they did
553. 19:31rotate basically their whole first team
554. 19:33for the game against Vanetsia this
555. 19:35weekend. So, I would expect a much
556. 19:37stronger lineup here. for Bod Glimp.
557. 19:39Bloomberg went off with an injury in the
558. 19:41first half this weekend and is expected
559. 19:43to miss this match. No direct
560. 19:45head-to-head record between these two
561. 19:47sides, but Bod Glimp were victorious in
562. 19:50Italy last season when they beat the
563. 19:52Italian champions Inter Milan away from
564. 19:55home. Napoli will undoubtedly still be
565. 19:58considered favorites for this match, but
566. 19:59with the way their week has gone and
567. 20:01with Podo's record, I think Bodo are
568. 20:04going to get at least a point from this
569. 20:05match. Like I say, Napoli will still be
570. 20:08big favorites. They'll still be expected
571. 20:10to win, but I'm going for 1-1 between
572. 20:12Napoli and Bodo Glimp. And then finally,
573. 20:15we are in Germany for Stuttgart taking
574. 20:18on Athletico Madrid, where it is the
575. 20:20home side that come into this with a
576. 20:22better start from the opening two match
577. 20:23days. It's actually been a perfect start
578. 20:26to the Champions League campaign for
579. 20:27Stoutgart who made it two wins out of
580. 20:30two against Slavan Bratislava last week.
581. 20:32And that result moved them all the way
582. 20:34up to fourth place in the table. Now
583. 20:36they got the ball rolling when Dennis
584. 20:38Unav finally got his first goal of the
585. 20:41season. And then they were gifted their
586. 20:42second goal when Sloan put through their
587. 20:44own net. And then into the second half,
588. 20:46Demirovic picked up his fourth goal of
589. 20:49the league phase already, making him the
590. 20:50top scorer in the Champions League so
591. 20:53far this season. And wrapping up a very
592. 20:55comfortable 3-nil win for the German
593. 20:57side. As for Atletico Madrid, after
594. 21:00losing away to English opposition in
595. 21:02match day one, they were at home to
596. 21:04English opposition Manchester United
597. 21:05this time around and after just 53
598. 21:08seconds, Barios had put them 1 nil ahead
599. 21:10in the match. To be fair, they did have
600. 21:12to ride their luck at times and Yan
601. 21:14Oblak kept them in it at 1 nil. But then
602. 21:16after Manchester United were taken down
603. 21:18to 10 men, they rounded off the game in
604. 21:20the second half through Adamo Llham and
605. 21:22making it a 2-nil victory to the Spanish
606. 21:25side. Now away from home again, this
607. 21:27could prove a slightly trickier test.
608. 21:29We'll just have to wait and see. This
609. 21:31weekend, Stoutgar actually failed to
610. 21:34make it three wins in a row as they lost
611. 21:361- nil away to Hamburg due to a
612. 21:38lastminute winner. Atletico Madrid, by
613. 21:40contrast, made it six wins in a row this
614. 21:43weekend, also involved in a 1-0il win.
615. 21:45They were away to Espanol and they
616. 21:48scored a lastminute winner. So, they
617. 21:51might have that slight edge when it
618. 21:52comes to momentum here. In terms of the
619. 21:54team news, no fresh issues for either
620. 21:56side, but Mitchellstat is still expected
621. 21:58to be missing this game for Stoutgar.
622. 22:00Atletico Madrid will likely rotate a lot
623. 22:02of their players and we have a very
624. 22:04similar starting lineup to the one that
625. 22:06started against Manchester United.
626. 22:08Personally, I think this is going to be
627. 22:09another very, very close one. I think at
628. 22:11their best, Stoutgar are more than
629. 22:13capable of getting a result here, but
630. 22:15they have fumbled in big matches
631. 22:17domestically so far this season. And I
632. 22:19think with the form that Atletico Madrid
633. 22:21are in, even though I don't think
634. 22:22they're at their best, those six wins in
635. 22:24a row cannot be overlooked. And I think
636. 22:26they're going to sneak this one as well.
637. 22:28I'm ending the day with a 2-1 win to
638. 22:31Atletico Madrid. That is going to be it
639. 22:34then for all of Tuesday's matches in the
640. 22:36Champions League. Before I leave you,
641. 22:38let's see what you guys have been saying
642. 22:40over on the community page regarding
643. 22:41these nine fixtures. You have gone for
644. 22:44the following. Basically, everyone
645. 22:46thinks Fenbachce are winning at home to
646. 22:48Slavia. Basically, everyone thinks
647. 22:49Dortmund are going to win away to Sabah.
648. 22:51Closer between Porto and PSV, but still
649. 22:53a majority going for the Portuguese
650. 22:55side. Basically, everyone thinks
651. 22:57Liverpool are beating Villa Royale.
652. 22:58Basically, everyone thinks Man City are
653. 23:00going to be Athens. The majority have
654. 23:02gone for Barcelona to win at PSG. I do
655. 23:04think that is quite crazy when you think
656. 23:06PSG are back-to- back Champions League
657. 23:08winners, but fair enough. Barcelona have
658. 23:10won every game this season. Basically,
659. 23:12everyone thinks Roma are going to beat
660. 23:13Sloan. The majority thinks that Napoli
661. 23:15are going to win at home to Bod Glimp
662. 23:17and basically everyone thinks Atletico
663. 23:19Madrid are going to win away at
664. 23:21Stoutgar. Once again, a massive thank
665. 23:24you very much for watching. Don't head
666. 23:25over to the community page right now to
667. 23:27have your say on the nine matches we'll
668. 23:29be covering in tomorrow's Champions
669. 23:30League video and the 36 matches we'll be
670. 23:34covering in the Europa League and
671. 23:35Conference League on Wednesday and
672. 23:36Thursday. Like I said, I'll be back this
673. 23:39time tomorrow morning for day two of
674. 23:41match day three of the Champions League.
675. 23:43So, final. Thank you very much for
676. 23:44watching once again and I'll see you
