Champions League League Phase: Exciting Matchups Conclude First Matchday
The opening round of the Champions League League Phase wraps up this Thursday (18/9) with a variety of thrilling fixtures that promise to captivate football fans worldwide.
Kevin De Bruyne’s Return to Etihad: Manchester City vs Napoli
The highlight of the evening is undoubtedly the clash at the Etihad Stadium between Manchester City and Napoli, kicking off at 22:00. This encounter draws significant attention due to the presence of Kevin De Bruyne, who, after a decade of success and legendary status at Manchester City, has switched allegiances to the Italian champions Napoli. Now, he faces his former club under the management of Pep Guardiola.
Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, have started their Serie A campaign flawlessly with three wins from three matches and aim to replicate this form in Europe, spearheaded by the Belgian maestro. Historically, these two sides have met four times in the Champions League, with every game featuring goals from both teams and three out of four matches surpassing 2.5 goals. The odds for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals stand at 2.10.
Early Kickoff: Club Brugge Hosts Monaco
The evening’s action begins earlier at 19:45 in Belgium, where Club Brugge welcomes Monaco. Both clubs are eager to secure a spot in the knockout stages once again this season. Club Brugge, featuring Greek international Christos Tzolis, boasts an impressive unbeaten streak of nine home games. Their dominant 6-0 victory over Rangers in the qualifiers highlights the fortress-like nature of the Jan Breydel Stadium, making it a challenging venue for visitors. The home side’s win is priced at 2.70.
Barcelona’s Test at Newcastle: Lewandowski Leads the Charge
Meanwhile, Spanish giants Barcelona travel to England to face Newcastle United at 22:00. Under coach Hans-Dieter Flick, the reigning La Liga champions are embarking on a campaign aimed at reclaiming European glory. Although they will miss the injured Jamal Musiala, their attack is bolstered by top scorer Robert Lewandowski, who recently netted twice in a commanding 6-0 win over Valencia. Lewandowski is favored to score again, with odds of 2.20.
