Round 19 Results 25/26

3 - 1

We Predicted

Inter Milan vs Liverpool

Final Score: 0 - 1

The Game Notes: Inter are usually very strong at home in Europe, happy to soak up pressure, slow the game down and then break with real purpose. Liverpool’s more open, high-tempo approach leaves space if the press isn’t perfect, so a match where they land a punch but get picked off a few times fits a 3-1 Inter win.

Spurs vs Slavia Prague

Final Score: 3 - 0

The Game Notes: Spurs should see plenty of the ball at home and have enough quality to grind Slavia down over 90 minutes, even if it’s not spectacular. Slavia are organised and decent on the counter, so you can picture them creating one or two big moments, but the balance of play still points to a controlled 2-0 victory.

Atalanta vs Chelsea

Final Score: 2 - 1

The Game Notes: Atalanta’s high-energy, front-foot style tends to make their home games chaotic, with chances at both ends. Chelsea have the tools to exploit that space and either team could edge it, but a 1-1 close draw fits the narrative between a patchy home team and recently blunt away performance.

We Predicted

Bayer Leverkusen vs Newcastle

Final Score: 2 - 2

The Game Notes: Leverkusen like to play aggressively and commit bodies forward, which can make for a wide-open game. That sort of tempo suits Newcastle’s direct running and strength in transition, so an away win where they soak up pressure, strike twice and still concede one along the way feels very plausible.

We Predicted

Club Brugge vs Arsenal

Final Score: 0 - 3

The Game Notes: Brugge are usually brave at home and won’t be afraid to attack, which should give them a route to at least one goal. But that openness also plays into Arsenal’s hands; with their ability to control the ball and create repeated waves of pressure, a game where the hosts compete but are ultimately outgunned 1-3 makes sense.

We Predicted

Real Madrid vs Man City

Final Score: 1 - 2

The Game Notes: At home, Real Madrid often find a way in Europe, even against sides who see more of the ball. City’s control and structure will keep it tight, but Madrid’s knack for big moments and quick breaks suggests a game where City concede a couple whilst striking once in return.
