2023-24 Champions League: Play-off round

[offside]

PSV dominated possessions and shots, so I assume they were better than Rangers? They have the advantage at home.

The draw was fair, PSV Eidhoven had more possession yes, but was not so much dangerous, and made defensive mistakes, especially on the first goal for Rangers. And yes, they have the advantage of playing home the second leg, so they are slightly favorite maybe, but I think the clash is still very open.

Molde - Galatasaray would be my choice, hope to find a stream or my friend Jua Ferreira will help me out. Hibernian - Aston Villa also would be nice, but probably blocked.

It will be very tough to find a decent stream and impossible to find a one on Youtube since the TV rights from the Play-off round belong to UEFA and they will block it immediately if something show up. I wish you good luck to find a stream anyway.

Yes, I know, but I trust my friend. He's from Turkey and Galatasaray, as well. I'd a small box hooked up to my tv and I was able to watch games from anywhere in the world. No kidding. My son in law brought me from the Netherlands and it worked well for about 3 years until the guy was arrested and our subscription canceled. It was illegal apparently.

All good things must come to an end.

Maybe next time your son will bring you Aladdin's lamp from the Netherlands and the Genie will charm out another small box for you. This time with legal subscription.

Are you sure Jua Ferreira is from Galatasaray?

My son-in-law is Dutch. My son is not. No, I'm not sure about that, but I know he's from Turkey and also Galatasaray a Turkish team. Pardon me, Türkiye.

Ah, I see. I did not know what son-in-law means, had to check a dictionary. My lacks in English once again...

Jua Ferreira is a Fenerbahce fan, at least I dare to make such an assumption basing on his forum avatar.

After first leg (home % previously)


AEK Athens - Antwerp 40:60 (50)

No way that Antwerp is favourite in this game. AEK dominated most of the game.
Antwerp managed to keep a clean sheet with the atmosphere of their fans.
But next week the fanatic home crowd will be on the other side.

For 3/4 of the team it will be their first game in such an atmosphere.
I don't expect a new clean sheet next week and an 70:30 for AEK.

Right ! The Greeks were clearly better. Even before the red card. They are favorite for the second leg and qualification.

[seso]

Not the best start for Greek clubs. Today we have the big match!

Both of you are way off. Bookies have Antwerp at 1.45 and AEK at 2.55 to qualify after the first leg. If they've made such a huge misjudgement, you have a nice opportunity to cash in.

[og2002gr]

Typical AEK. No tactics, just pressing to steal the ball and full attack. Their defenders were very incompetent yesterday.
Antwerp played smart and had no shame for full defence.

AEK has conceded an early goal in all 3 games so far, and they only score in the end of their games.
I wonder what happens if they finally found a goal before their opponents.

1-0 is minimal. AEK is still 50-50 to qualify.
Bet odds are wrong, so here is your chance!

(Balanced match, home advantage for Maccabi Haifa).

3.00 3.40 2.37 Molde - Galatasaray

I mean thats how Antwerp always plays. Grind out a result after taking the lead. They dont mind being "dominated".

I see PSV - Rangers going 1 of 2 ways. Either a copy of last year. Where PSV is overwhelmed by the occasion again and Rangers quietly sit back waiting to profit from the inevitable, capital mistake by a PSV defender/midfielder. The outcome of such a match would be a coinflip. Like last year. Just as last night was very similar to last year.

Or PSV just goes out there and play their game like they did at home to sturm graz. In that case I expect a game similar to the 2 games between Ajax and Rangers in the CLGS last year.

[mieszambeton]

Rakow played really bad against Qarabag and won 3-2
Rakow played really bad in 1st half against Aris and kept 0-0
Kopenhagen played really bad against Rakow and won 1-0 by accidental goal

Nowadays level is very equal and what is most important is to have luck
