If you’re looking for Champions League predictions for 2022, you’ve probably come to the right place. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are among the teams expected to dominate the competition. But who else will be a threat in 2022? Here are some team rankings and their chances of success.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s recent Champions League success was the result of individual excellence and self-belief. Those qualities will likely continue this season, but the squad will also require some changes. Casemiro left the club to join Barcelona, while AurelienTchouameni was brought in. His presence will improve Real’s attacking options, while Antonio Rudiger should help bolster their backline. Real Madrid’s squad is still quite old, however.
Manchester City
Manchester City are flying at the moment, hammering Southampton 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium. The team has now scored 15 goals in their last three games and conceded just one. The Norwegian forward ErlingHaaland has scored 20 goals in his last 13 games, which is enough to put City in the knockout phase.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are a team that has a lot of attacking talent. They are one of the best in Europe and have been on a roll of late. This season, they are undefeated, with five wins and two draws. While this is an extremely difficult group to crack, you will still have to make some predictions.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain should be able to go far this season in the Champions League. The French giants are undefeated in Ligue 1 and are hoping to continue this unbeaten run in the UCL. The team is also looking to score three or more goals away from home for a ninth straight game, which could help them equal Real Madrid’s record of scoring at least three goals in 40 consecutive Champions League group stage games.
Porto
If you want to make a bet, it is best to choose a team that is currently on a roll. Porto are in the second spot in the PrimeiraLiga and have won their last three matches in all competitions. This is a team that will be a tough nut to crack, but the feel-good factor of new manager Xabi Alonso should give them the edge.
Sevilla
Sevilla have a history of winning in the Champions League, but the club is currently in a dire situation in the Spanish top tier. The Spanish side is just outside the bottom three and have won just one game in seven. They also have one of the worst defensive records in La Liga. As a result, many people doubt their ability to compete with the Spanish national elite.
Roma
If Roma finish in the top four this season, they’ll be well on their way to Champions League football. But if they fail to get there, their season could end in the Europa League. That’s not a bad prospect at all, but Roma aren’t known for being particularly strong in defence.
Porto vs. Roma
Porto have a good record against Roma. The Portuguese club have won two matches and drawn one. They last played in the round of 16 of the Champions League, and Porto won 3-1 on aggregate. In the first leg, Porto’s goals came from Bruno Costa and Fernando Andrade. On the other hand, Roma’s only goal came from Daniele De Rossi.
Ludogorets vs. Roma
In the opening match of the UEFA Europa League 2022-23 campaign, Ludogorets will face Roma. This is the first European meeting between the two sides. They will play at the Ludogorets Arena. Ludogorets have only won one of their last four matches against Italian clubs. Roma, on the other hand, has won seven of their last ten games against Bulgarian opponents.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Dortmund
As a home team, Borussia Dortmund are confident and have a great squad of players. This team has only lost one of their last nine games against Spanish opposition, and this home support can help them come out on top. While Sevilla have a strong squad and are close to elimination, Borussia Dortmund have the attacking quality to get over them. Sevilla have scored in each of their last four matches across all competitions, while Borussia Dortmund have only kept one clean sheet in their last six games.
