When Do We Release Champions League Predictions?

Due to the nature of Champions League schedules, there aren’t going to be week to week predictions released when it comes to the Champions League. When matchdays are ongoing, with the games taking place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we’ll usually put the Champions League predictions up at least a few days prior. The main aim of these predictions is to help the standard viewer not only enjoy watching the Champions League, but also try and become a successful punter along the way.

How successful our football tips will we be? You’ll have to tune in to find out. But we sure know how this game works!

Champions League Predictions by FootballPredictions.com

The UEFA Champions League is widely considered to be the highest form of European club football, and in truth, it’s hard to argue with that kind of logic. In its current incarnation it has been around since 1992 when a rebranding took place, although the actual history of the Champions League dates all the way back to 1955.

The winner of the competition currently qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Only the top of Europe qualifies

At this time the qualification period begins in late June, which leads on to four rounds before a play-off round which determines the final 32 teams. There are then eight groups of four that play one another in the group stages, with 16 qualifying for the knockout stages. Eventually, the teams are dwindled down to just two, who will then battle it out in the final for the right to be called the Champions of Europe.

Real Madrid is leading the dance

A series of top clubs are considered to be the most successful in the history of the competition, but in reality, nobody comes close to Real Madrid who have won the competition a record breaking 13 times. Next to Real Madrid traditionally teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich are title candidates each season.

Champions League Tips, Predictions and Betting advice

One thing that you’re guaranteed to get in the Champions League is elite level football, and as such, things can get a bit unpredictable at times.

The first thing that we can think of when it comes to betting tips is this: never write off a team that seem like the underdogs if they’re playing at home. They know the surface, they know the style, and if they’ve got a passionate fanbase then that can completely change the mood of the game.

Fouls get rewarded

‘Over’ on a certain amount of yellow or red cards tends to be a pretty good bet, too, as teams in Europe tend to panic a bit more and fly into challenges. To go alongside that, you’ve also got the constant ‘playing for the foul’ that seems to be a growing force in the game.

There never really tends to be all too many corners in comparison to regular league games, either, mainly because teams just tend to change up the way they play. A lot of the game is kept pretty central which, in truth, is a generally good football tip aside from the world of football predictions.

Our Team of Champions League Experts

Our team of experts for the Champions League features a series of world class sports journalists, and due to how widespread the tournament is, they are located across the entirety of Europe. We’ve got a combination of young and hungry guys and girls who are heavily into their research, whereas there are also seasoned veterans of the game that have been there and seen it all.

The predictions themselves stem from that experience, as well as a deep passion for the art of analysis and wanting to make a profit. Betting tips from tipsters come and go, but these folks are dedicated.
