UEFA Champions League 2018-19: Matchday 1 predictions

Paris Saint-Germain v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League
The Champions League is back!!!!

Group H - Young Boys, Juventus, Manchester United, Valencia CF

Juventus v US Sassuolo - Serie A
Can he do it for the fourth time in a row?

Valencia vs Juventus

Valencia host Juventus at the Estadio Mestalla in the Group H match-up. Marcelino did a terrific job with Los Che last season and they totally earned their place in the elite competition.

It is well known that Valencia are brilliant at home than on the travels, but they will have a big fish to fry when the star-studded Italian giants come to town.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been struggling to find his goal-scoring boots at the start of the new Serie A campaign, but his experience against the Valencia players will definitely help. We can almost be sure that he is going to be quite a handful for the opposition back-line.

Prediction: 0-1


Young Boys vs Manchester United

Manchester United will be aiming to shake off early season blues when they take on Young Boys in Bern. The Red Devils have been having their downs and not many ups at the start of the new Premier League campaign.

Top scorer Romelu Lukaku has found his goal-scoring touch lately, and Jose Mourinho’s men are seen as hot favourites to win. Young Boys are a force to be reckoned with at home, but their lack of experience in big matches will ultimately be the downfall of the Swiss outfit in the opening match of their Champions League campaign.

Prediction: 1-2
