Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 6, 2022, a new edition of the UEFA Champions League group stage<\/strong> kicks off. On matchday 1 itself, we will have many emotions thanks to the top-level matches that we will enjoy in the different soccer scenarios in Europe.

All of them are looking to get off to a good start in the UEFA tournament. The main objective of all teams is the final to be played in Istanbul, Turkey on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

Real Madrid<\/strong>, reigning Champions League champions<\/strong>, will start their journey away against Celtic<\/strong>. With a spectacular start in the local league of 4 wins in 4 games, they are leading the overall standings.

FC Barcelona <\/strong>will host Viktoria Plze\u00f1 <\/strong>at the Spotify Camp Nou<\/strong>, in a must-win match, as their other two rivals, Inter and Bayern<\/strong>, are very complicated.

In other big matches, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City <\/strong>will go to Sevilla<\/strong>. Liverpool <\/strong>will face Napoli <\/strong>in Italy. Tottenham<\/strong>, also from the Premier League<\/strong>, will face Marseille<\/strong>.

But the match that will grab all the spotlight on this first day will undoubtedly be between PSG and Juventus<\/strong>, two giants of Europe at the moment. Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, and Neymar are at a much higher level in the domestic competition. And now they will face their former teammates: Di Maria and Leandro Paredes.

Here’s a preview of the best games of the first matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Tuchel’s side will be looking to kick-start their difficult start to the season, but there are easier places to go, just ask Tottenham<\/strong>.

Dynamo<\/strong>, meanwhile, continues to produce talented youngsters, such as midfielder Martin Baturina and coupled with the class shown in attack, they are always a dangerous side. Especially at home: they are 19 matches unbeaten at Stadion Maksimir <\/strong>in all competitions, with 16 wins and 3 draws.

Similarly, our selection for this match is a Chelsea<\/strong> victory with a score of 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borussia Dortmund<\/strong> will host FC Copenhagen<\/strong> at Signal Iduna Park<\/strong> on Tuesday, September 6 in their first UEFA Champions League match<\/strong>.

Dortmund<\/strong> has started the season at an excellent level of play, reaping the benefits of their astute operations in the transfer market, despite the defeat against Werder Bremen<\/strong> after being up 0-2 on the scoreboard. In their last match, they beat Hoffenheim<\/strong> 1-0, with Marco Reus scoring the only goal of the game.

Copenhagen<\/strong>, for its part, has not been very consistent at the start of the season but has done enough in the playoffs to secure a place in the group stage of this UEFA Champions League<\/strong>. They beat Trabzonspor<\/strong>, winning 2-1 in the first leg and drawing 0-0 in the second leg.

For this match, our prediction is a 3-1 victory for Borussia Dortmund<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What better way for Celtic<\/strong> to return to the Champions League<\/strong> than to host the team that has won 5 of the last 9 editions of the UEFA Champions League<\/strong>, Real Madrid<\/strong>, in the first match of this tournament. This game will be this Tuesday, September 6th at Celtic Park<\/strong> at 03:00 pm ET.

Real Madrid<\/strong> has made a great start to the new season, achieving 4 solid victories in LaLiga<\/strong>, to position themselves in first place in the table, as well as winning the European Super Cup<\/strong> against Frankfurt<\/strong> with a score of 2-0.

Likewise, Real Madrid<\/strong> arrives at this Champions League<\/strong> after a very complicated victory against Betis<\/strong> with a score of 2-1.

On the other hand, Celtic<\/strong> has had a spectacular start to the season, winning all 6 games they have played so far, including three incredible thrashings in their last three games, the first against Dundee United<\/strong> with a crushing score of 9-0 and the second in the Scottish League Cup <\/strong>against Ross County <\/strong>with a score of 4-1, and their last game was a 4-0 thrashing against Rangers<\/strong> in the local league.

Although both teams arrive with a lot of inspiration in this match, our selection is a Real Madrid victory with a score of 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UEFA Champions League Matchday 1 \u2013 Preview \u2013 Manchester City vs. Sevilla \u2013 Info<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A great match is what we will have tomorrow September 6, 2022, when Manchester City <\/strong>visits Sevilla<\/strong> at the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n Stadium <\/strong>for the first match of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League <\/strong>at 03:00 pm ET.

The team coached by Guardiola arrives at the debut of this UEFA Champions League<\/strong> in a very good moment of form, with six Premier League<\/strong> matches played in which they still do not know the defeat, having in their record a balance of four wins and two draws. In addition to this, we highlight the form of Norwegian Haaland, who has 10 goals at this stage of the competition.

On the other hand, Sevilla<\/strong> has not started the season in the best possible way, as they have barely scored one point after four LaLiga matches. After letting go of their two first-choice central defenders in the summer transfer window, the squad is unbalanced, and it seems that the team’s harmony with Lopetegui is not the same as in previous seasons.

This was seen in their last match, when FC Barcelona<\/strong> crushed them on their home court, with a score of 4-0.

For this match, our winner’s chip goes to Manchester City<\/strong>, and we predict a final score of 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City vs. Sevilla Betting Pick: <\/strong>Manchester City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the games that attract attention on this first matchday is the one that will be played at the Parc des Princes <\/strong>in Paris, between PSG and Juventus<\/strong>, a game corresponding to Group H between two teams called to fight for the title.

Les Parisiens have started the season with a bang in Ligue 1<\/strong>, winning the French Super Cup <\/strong>with a 4-0 victory over Nantes<\/strong>, and in the recent Ligue 1 matchday, they beat Nantes<\/strong>, as visitors, with a score of 0-3. These results place PSG <\/strong>at the top of the table.

While Juventus<\/strong> are also undefeated in the Calcio, their start to the season has not been as expected. On the previous matchday, the Vecchia Signora were held to a 1-1 draw away to Fiorentina<\/strong>, their third draw in five games.

For this match, we believe that PSG <\/strong>will be able to take advantage of their home ground and win with a score of 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSG vs. Juventus Betting Pick: <\/strong>PSG<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UEFA Champions League Matchday 1 \u2013 Preview \u2013 Inter vs Bayern \u2013 Info<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inter<\/strong> will host Bayern Munich <\/strong>at the Giuseppe Meazza <\/strong>for a real treat in Group C of the UEFA Champions League <\/strong>on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.

Inter<\/strong> were eliminated in the round of 16 last year at the hands of Liverpool<\/strong> by a 2-1 aggregate score line, while Bayern <\/strong>was stunned in the quarterfinals by an inspired Villarreal <\/strong>side that managed to win 2-1 on aggregate.

Both teams are coming into this UEFA Champions League<\/strong> very inspired, but Inter<\/strong> is coming from a tough derby defeat against Milan <\/strong>with a score of 2-3. Bayern<\/strong>, meanwhile, is coming off an unexpected draw against one of this season’s surprise packages in the Bundesliga<\/strong>, Union Berlin<\/strong>, with a 1-1 scoreline.

This will be one of the best matches of this Wednesday and our selection is a narrow victory for Bayern<\/strong>, with a score of 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inter vs. Bayern Betting Pick: <\/strong>Bayern<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UEFA Champions League Matchday 1 \u2013 Preview \u2013 FC Barcelona vs. Viktoria Plze\u00f1 \u2013 Info<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Xavi’s Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> should have no problem debuting in the Champions League<\/strong> with a victory at the Spotify Camp Nou<\/strong>. However, they would do well not to be overconfident because, even though the Cinderella of the group, Viktoria Plze\u00f1<\/strong>, is visiting the stadium, the reality is that the Czechs will arrive in Barcelona undefeated and eager to cause a surprise.

So far this season, Viktoria<\/strong> Plze\u00f1<\/strong> has played 12 matches, with a very good record of 10 wins and 2 draws. Despite being in the toughest group in this UEFA Champions League<\/strong>, they will try to score as many points as possible.

On the other hand, FC Barcelona<\/strong> is having the start of the season they had dreamed of, after closing a summer market with spectacular signings. Despite drawing their first game of the season, in the other 3, they have played they have managed to show a spectacular level, led by Robert Lewandowski who, at 34 years of age, is still at the top of his game.

For this match, we do not doubt that the winner will be FC Barcelona<\/strong>, and we predict a score of 4-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
