We are halfway through the 2023/24 UCL group stage, and there are a lot of teams still in contention to qualify. What should we expect from the best Champions League matches on November 7?
Borussia Dortmund are coming off a heavy 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker. BVB and Newcastle have the same amount of points in the group, so this will be an important game for the head-to-head record. The Magpies are in good spirits after beating Arsenal in the EPL, in addition to Borussia being poor and scoring only one goal in three UCL games, so Newcastle will have good winning chances.
Paris Saint-Germain beat Milan in their last game in the group by three goals. Kylian Mbappe continued his good form and scored his second goal in the UCL in that match. The Rossoneri are in last place in the group, so this is probably a must-win game for them, as they will be in bad shape with a loss here. PSG have been having a lot of high-scoring games lately, as they have gone over the total in 10 of their last 12 matches.
Manchester City are coming off a big 6-1 win over Bournemouth in the EPL. The Citizens have a perfect nine points from three games in the UCL. Man City are currently at the top of the Champions League odds to win the tournament outright, so they should get a comfortable win at home. Julian Alvarez is tied for the top UCL scorer with three goals, so this is a perfect opportunity for him to score more against a weak defense.
