IThe verdict of the playing field regarding the fourth day of this 2018-2019 edition showed new scenarios and reopened the games during the two days of Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7 November. Among the most surprising results we certainly find the victory at home of Red Star Belgrade against Liverpool European runners-up, who in this edition have shown themselves to be a two-faced team, with Klopp's men who had already struggled in the away match against Napoli at the San Paolo. The credit for that game won in the final minutes by the Azzurri was largely given to the tactical intelligence and experience of their coach, Carlo Ancelotti. However, after the defeat in Belgrade, Liverpool appears to be a diminished team, and the games reopen, demonstrating, if there was any need, what the balance and qualities of Group C are, with Napoli leading with 6 points, due to the direct clash won against Liverpool and following all the other teams gathered within just 2 points of detachment, with two games to go in the group. It was said that this was the most challenging group and so far it has proven to be. However, the games are still open for most of the groups and teams that are participating in this edition of the Champions League. Suffice it to say that up to now only Messi and Suarez's Barcelona have secured qualification with two rounds to spare, after the away draw against Luciano Spalletti's Inter. The Champions League represents one of the best opportunities for this football season to access the live betting on one of the betting operators where on a daily basis you can find odds, statistics and all kinds of information pertaining to the most important international football event from now until the final phase of the Nations League, which not coincidentally this year plays a rather influential role also in terms of calendar and football schedule of a global nature. Having said that, it is important to underline that the games are still open for Inter and Tottenham, respectively at 7 and 4 points, while PSV appears condemned to leave the competition early.
There should be no problems for Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid either, who in Group A have overtaken Club Brugge and Monaco, with 9 points each, against Club Brugge's 4 and only one point for Monaco. After all, this group had appeared to be one of the least difficult for the two teams that lead the partial standings. Similar results were also seen in Group D and Group E, where barring any major surprises, the teams that will advance to the round of 04 will be Porto and Schalke 6 for Group D, while for Group E it should once again be up to Bayern Munich and Ajax, veteran teams of this competition and winners in the past, to reach the knockout stage. It should also be remembered that the best third-placed teams will have another opportunity to play in the Europa League, after the conclusion of this first phase of the Champions League and of the European cups in general. For Group F and Group G, Manchester City, Lyon, Real Madrid and Roma are excellently placed and rated to easily advance to the round of 5. Of the four teams, the only one potentially at risk seems to be Lyon, with XNUMX points, but with a manageable advantage over Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk. The same goes for Group G, where despite no team being mathematically qualified yet, CSKA Moscow's hopes are becoming increasingly reduced due to the XNUMX points that separate them from Ramos' Real Madrid and Di Francesco's Roma.
