I think fans are loving this new Champions League format!
Betting-wise, a bit of a coin toss
PSG @ 2.6
Barca @ 2.5
X @ 4.5

im not liking the new format at all. There is no jeopardy in the games for the big clubs. PSG V Barca should be mouth watering, but its nothing more than an exhibition game with the losers still able to qualify easily. From a betting point of view it does mean there will be goals, and plenty of them.

old system was 6 group games and need to finish top 2 out of 4. New system is 8 games and need to finish top 24 out of 36.
The players are on 100K+ a week. They wont mind losing the odd game one bit. |

im a fan of the new format ...old was random nonsense i'm afraid ... people want the big clubs to go through in reality ...hardly anyone would watch a Slavia Prague vs Levski Sofia final . No one is interested in the qualifying stages as it is ...and they contain actual champions .

Under the old format none of the teams in Pot 1 played each other or competed against each other in the group stage. Now they all play 2 other Pot 1 teams each and compete for top 8 places in the group.
We had Real v Inter and City v PSG in the first 2 game weeks, now PSG v Barca and Bayern v Arsenal, the top 4 favs playing each other. You wouldn't get fixtures like that until the KO stages under the old format. There was no real jeopardy for the Pot 1 sides under the old format either. The main difference is that the EL is now a joke compared to what it used to be, with 4 top EL level sides going into the CL and 8 3rd placed CL sides not going into the EL. |

Top teams don't want to finish top 4, they want top 8 to avoid the 2 extra play off games, so the new format is much better.
Having said that, Liverpool and City tonight imo are taking real liberties, no Haaland and no Isak and Barcola. |

struggling to find value tonight. Man City too short, but will probably win. Liverpool still don't look convincing. Overs far too short on PSG-Barca game. Put a few bob on 5-3 PSG.

sportsbook, only 70/1, but worth a couple of quid.

By:
