Prediction for the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League
Bologna FC 1909 vs. AS Monaco
In the league phase of Round Four, Bologna and Monaco are poised to clash in an eagerly anticipated UEFA Champions League encounter on November 6, 2024, at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna.
Championships Won
- Bologna FC 1909: Zero Championship
- AS Monaco: Zero Championship
In this matchup, AS Monaco came with an undefeated record of two wins and one draw, which positioned them in fourth place in the Champions League standings with seven points, tying up with third-place Manchester City. They started the campaign with a strong performance against Barcelona with a score of 2-1; they grabbed the victory thanks to Maghnes Akliouche and George Ilenikhena. In the second round, they draw the match with D. Zagreb 2-2. Despite the slow start to the game, they showed a solid attack in the second half and saved their first defeat of the season. Monaco’s matchday three was remarkable; they defeated Crvena Zvezda with a dominant score of 5-1. Their offense side was impressive, giving them an advantage in maintaining consistency.
On the other hand, Bologna is struggling to make their first victory of the season, with one draw and two losses, making them stand in the 29th place of the league with one point. Their opening game was a goalless draw with Shakhtar Donetsk. Following this, they faced their first defeat of the season against Liverpool with a score of 2-0, and the third round also ended up in defeat with Aston Villa with a score of 2-0. Bologna’s performance has been fraught with issues, particularly in their attack, which is the central issue here that made them suffer a defeat. If this performance continues, it will worsen this season and block their qualification to the next round. While comparing both teams’ performances, Monaco is ahead to win this upcoming game.
Liverpool F.C. vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen
After their 2012 H2H clash, Liverpool and Bayer 04 Leverkusen will face off again in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 showdown on November 6, 2024, at Anfield in Liverpool.
Championships Won
- Liverpool: Six Championships
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Zero Championship
In the Champions League standings, Liverpool is standing in second place with an undefeated record by winning all three matches played, and this upcoming match will decide whether they can beat the tie with Aston Villa and clinch the first position. They defeated AC Milan, Bologna, and RB Leipzig in this campaign. In addition, they are participating in the EPL and EFL Cups. In their Premier League 2024-25 journey, they are showing an excellent performance with a record of eight wins, one draw, and one loss. With 25 points, they are standing first in the EPL. In addition to this, their EFL Cup is also going better, which makes this year an unforgettable one for Liverpool. However, the team must ensure they don’t miss the consistent gameplay throughout the season. At the same time, competing in various competitions will result in injuries and fatigue that might affect their performance.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen is standing in sixth place in the Champions League with a record of two wins and one draw, and they also remain unbeaten. They are also participating in the Bundesliga, and with nine matches played, they won four, drew four, and lost one match. This time, Leverkusen won most of their matches in a draw; this will affect their position and qualification in the further rounds. So, they have to be more careful with their strategy and offense because, in football, a single point will affect the entire game. Their defense was appreciable, and it made Leverkusen avoid defeat. Both teams will miss some of their key players due to injuries, and we hope the team will maintain their performance at a high level. With their 4-1 record in the H2H, Liverpool is dominating to win the game against Leverkusen.
Sporting CP vs. Manchester City F.C.
On November 6, 2024, Manchester City is traveling away to lock horns with Sporting CP at their home ground, Estádio José Alvalade (Lisbon), in the forthcoming round four UEFA Champions League.
Championships Won
- Sporting CP: Zero Championship
- Manchester City: One Championship
This year is impressive for Sporting CP, who show complete resilience and determination. Beginning with their Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira performance, they concluded the season in the runner-up position and were in the finals; they lost the match by a margin of one point to Porto. In the Taça da Liga, they qualified for the semi-final, and incidentally, they will face off against Porto, where the match is scheduled for January 7, 2025. In the Taça de Portugal, they qualified for the fourth round, and in Liga Portugal, they are standing at the top of the table with a perfect record of 10 wins from 10 matches. Based on their Champions League performance, they are standing in eighth place with two wins and one draw. While looking at their journey, it was outstanding, which resonates with their dedication and passion for football.
As many teams hold the same record in the table, the upcoming game will be crucial for them to move up to the top position. Manchester City also showed phenomenal performance in the Premier League with seven wins, two draws, and one loss, which makes them stand in the league’s second place. From this, they are participating in the EFL Cup, but in that previous game, they defeated Tottenham with a score of 2-1. In the Premier League, they suffered their first defeat of the season, and straight away from that, they entered the UEFA Champions League in round four. Following the two consecutive losses, this game will be an excellent opportunity for them to bounce back and maintain their undefeated record in this league. Even though Manchester City is a strong team, with the recent performance, Sporting CP will have a higher chance to win this game.
Club Brugge KV vs. Aston Villa F.C.
The tabletop Aston Villa is making a road trip to Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge) to compete against Club Brugge KV on November 6, 2024, in the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League.
Championships Won
- Club Brugge KV: Zero Championship
- Aston Villa: One Championship
During the previous encounter, Club Brugge KV faced AC Milan on October 22, 2024, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan). The game began with Club Brugge receiving yellow cards for roughing and tripping, and on the flip side, the opponent shot the first goal of the match before the end of the first half. In the 46th minute of the second half, Kyriani Sabbe entered the game as a substitution and shot the first goal for Club Brugge in the 51st minute. However, the opponent used every opportunity, turned the chances into shots, and defeated Club Brugge. In the game, they had 38% of ball possession, 9 goal attempts, and five shots on goal. Simultaneously, Brugge also participates in the Belgian Pro League and Belgian Cup. They are coming off with mixed results in their last ten matches across the competition, but their recent three games were impressive.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa is ruling the Champions League standing table with an undefeated record of three wins. This game will be a crucial one for Aston Villa to maintain their top position because, behind them, Liverpool is standing with the same record; if they lose the match, it will indeed affect their standing. Over to their other tournament performances, in the Premier League 2024-25, they have mixed results, but compared to other teams, they are in decent shape, but it is not enough; they have to push forward in the upcoming weeks to hold the championship. With their recent form, Aston Villa, determined and resilient, will not easily give up this match; they will put forth their complete effort and win this round four match.
AC Sparta Praha vs. Stade Brestois 29
At epet ARENA (Prague), in Champions League action, we will witness the first H2H meetup in their football history between A.C. Sparta Praha and Stade Brestois, 29, on November 7, 2024.
Championships Won
- A.C. Sparta Praha: Zero Championship
- Stade Brestois 29: Zero Championship
Following their first defeat of the season, A.C. Sparta Praha, with eyes full of hope, entered into the round four against Stade Brestois 29. In their previous match, they lost to Manchester City with a score of 5-0. Sparta Praha’s defense found it challenging to contain Manchester City’s attacking players, especially Erling Haaland, who scored twice with a stunning backheel and a volley. Overall, Sparta Praha struggled to take control of their offense and defense, making that game a nightmare. Praha stands third in the Czech First League in other tournaments with eight wins, one draw, and four losses. When reviewing their overall performance, the team needs to find a way to conclude their mixed bag of results, especially the consecutive defeats. They are standing in 21st place on the Champions League table with one win, one draw, and one loss.
Stade Brestois 29 heads into this with an undefeated record of two wins and one loss, which made them stand in fifth place and tie up with Monaco and Manchester City. Eventually, their Ligue 1 campaign is filled with four wins, one draw, and five losses. In most of their games, they lost the match without scoring a single point, which shows how their attack was, and it indicates that they need to find a solution for this; otherwise, if the competition moves on, it will be difficult for them to take control of the game, and on the other side, it will be an added advantage to trounce them. Sparta Praha has shown strong performances at home and has a better win rate in recent matches so that they will win this game. However, Brest can undoubtedly put up an intense fight.
