Any UCL predictions for next week?
ReplyDeleteI’d go with:
- Bayern vs PSG: Oliver is a good shot as he’s only 4O this weekend. More curious would be the VAR assignment (Attwell not an option after he overruled Nyberg’s penalty?). The only alternative is Kovacs in the middle.
- Liverpool vs Real: Turpin. He’s out this weekend as well. The French worked in UEL MD3 and was out in MD4, hence the game in Liverpool could be planned one for a longer time.
Inter vs Leipzig (observer: KUIPERS) and Monaco vs Benfica (observer: ROSETTI), do we expect debuts here?
Moreover, I predict at least 2 Spanish crews, Aston Villa vs Juventus seems suitable for a Spanish. I think Vincic will get a deserved rest ;-)
Surely we will see Italian crews — Massa the one to keep an eye on (was observed by Vassáras in his last game).
I’m curious to see Letexier’s management after his Conference League game. The French has a game in Auxerre next Sunday (17:00), so I don’t think we will see him in UCL.
On beforehand, Gozubuyuk was an expected name as he had same management as Turpin; UEL (MD3) and out (MD4), however based on the domestic appointment I’m more leaning towards Makkelie (hidden game behind the paywall and a FIFA ref as 4O with him), whereas Gozubuyuk has a regular game on the open ESPN-channel and a non-FIFA ref with him as 4O.
So, whilst I agree with your comments in the main, I have a few differences and here's my (generally useless) predictions haha!
DeleteSparta v Athletico: Mariani w Chiffi
Bratislava v Milan: Sanchez w Del Grande
Leverkusen v Salzburg: Kabakov w Delajod
Y Boys v Atalanta: Kruzliak w Kwiatolski
Barcelona v Brest: Turpin w Millot (I originally had him for the Liverpool game but feel it may go to Marciniak)
Bayern v PSG: Gozubuyuk w Van Boekel (I actually think there are a few options with Oliver/Kovacs too)
Inter v Leipzig: Not debuts for me but seemingly Cat 1 ready for rubber stamp for promotion - So Pinhiero w Martins.
Man City v Feyenoord: Zwayer w Dingbert
Sporting v Arsenal: Manzano w Munuera
Zvezda v Stuttgard: Letexier w Millot
Graz v Girona: Saggi w Di Paolo
Monaco v Benfica: Petrescu w Popa
Villa v Juventus: Nyberg w Van Boekel
Bologna v Lille: Shrarer w Brand
Celtic v Brugge: Hernandez w Del Grande
Dinamo v Dortmund: Meler w Deiperink
Liverpool v Real: Marciniak w Kwiatolski
PSV v Shakthar: Osmers w Dingbert
Yes, good remark about Inter vs Leipzig. Difficult to see a debut with an Italian team :) Agree that it should be a promotion. Pinheiro or Petrescu
DeleteMine are
DeleteSparta - Atletico: Lindhout (Higler)
Bratislava v Milan: Sanchez (del Cerro Grande)
Leverkusen v Salzburg: Mariani (di Paolo)
Y Boys v Atalanta: Bastien (Millot)
Barcelona v Brest: Dabanovic (Kwiatkowski)
Bayern v PSG: Kovacs (van Boekel)
Inter v Leipzig: Martinez (de Burgos)
Man City v Feyenoord: Letexier (Brisard)
Sporting v Arsenal: Hernandez (Soto)
Zvezda v Stuttgard: Schnyder (San)
Graz v Girona: Peljto (Storks)
Monaco v Benfica: Kabakov (Dragonov)
Villa v Juventus: Kruzliak (Ruperti)
Bologna v Lille: Obrenovic (Attwell)
Celtic v Brugge: Petrescu (Dieperink)
Dinamo v Dortmund: Massa (di Bello)
Liverpool v Real: Marciniak (Kwiatkowski)
PSV v Shakthar: Eskas (Dingert)
@Alfie Turpin cannot referee Brest, it's a french team.
DeleteI'd be surprised to see also Gozubuyuk for PSG Bayern but we'll see;
Turpin with French team (Brest)??
ReplyDeleteI also doubt that we will see Deiperink, Del Grande, Dingbert, Kwiatolski, Pinhiero and Shrarer (as well as some others).
Delete:D
Delete:-) @Chefren, what is your prediction in Monaco? (debut?)
DeleteWell, with Monaco in a very good position and Benfica fighting for a spot, as very experienced CL team, I must say the game at Louis II will be very interesting and before knowing that Rosetti was appointed, I wouldn't have guessed a possible debut. However, following the committee's management we can see for some teams (and Monaco surely among them, see as example Lindhout appointed for the game against Barcelona), we could indeed expect a referee at his first game in this stage of the competition, with the Italian head of UEFA refeereing observing him.
DeleteHaving to make a prediction, I could think about Xhaja. A very good path in recent times, quite satysfiying performances (I watched all his recent games), EL GS debut one year ago, further two games this season. Good presentation for him, although it can be said that this game may perhaps be a bit too much for him (and here my doubts). Still about Albania, his countryman Enea Jorgji seems to have lost some credit by committee, less focus in recent times.
Having to mention another name if not the Albanian, one could say Damian Sylwestrzak. Maybe a bi too hurry and now there was also the Polish VAR big mistake in NL, but he is following a path. Two Conference League games one year ago and two Europa League appearances this season could maybe be enough, but in terms of experience he is Cat. 1 only since six months. So, less likely. Maybe if I'm lucky with predictions, it will be one of the two :)
Oops My mistake ref Brest!!
DeleteAbout Inter - Leipzig with Kuipers, I can hardly think about a debut here (Italian team). Rather, I can guess Kuipers will be there for a Category 1 who needs consolidation in Champions League. Some names, just to make the example of the target, could be: Balakin, Obrenovic, Petrescu.... could be a final test for Pinheiro as well, if they have still focus on him for Elite promotion, but I don't think a debut in Milan.
DeleteI think it could be Petrescu in Milano, because today he has a game with all his team. But is strange two send two romanian refs in Milano, two games in a row. Last time was Kovacs and now Petrescu. And for Kuipers will be the second romaian referee after he observed Fesnic in Bratislava. And Kovacs AR1 is in VAR room today, and AR2 had already a game last night.
DeleteYes, good points, I think it’s avoidable to have two Romanians in Milan in a row. Perhaps Pinheiro with Inter; the Portuguese desperately need a replacement for Artur Dias. Petrescu appointed on Friday suggests that we will see him as well, but in another game.
DeleteI hope to see Xhaja in Monaco, but agree that it doesn’t have to be a debut, it can be a potential cat1 promotion (Petrescu).
Liverpool-Real has to be Turpin.
Bayern-PSG could be Oliver or Kovacs. I don’t see Gözübüyük there; he’s rarely appointed to big clashes of any importance and he would be more hidden in his domestic league.
Keep an eye on Barcelona-Brest. I thought this game is actually a nice test for a referee considered for a UEFA final this season. Two teams within the top8 and therefore, the result is not a crucial one. Not the most risky game on paper, but still a “nice” testcase
Where can I find the referee appointments for the Australia's championship?

WOW, another leak from Poland. Rosetti will be happy, once again...
DeleteI will go with my predicitons, excluding Sporting-Arsenal due to RefSoccer3412 info, congrats to Marciniak! So:
ReplyDeleteSparta-Atletico- Obrenovic
Bratislava-Milan- Xhaja
Leverkusen-Salzburg- Massa
Young Boys -Atalanta- Sanchez Martinez
Barcelona-Brest- Dabanovic
Bayern-PSG- Oliver
Inter-Leipzig- Manzano
City-Feynord- Kruzliak
Zvezda-Stutgart- Mariani
Graz-Girona- Gozubuyuk
Monaco-Benfica- Peljto
Villa-Juventus- Siebert
Bologna-Lille- Pinheiro
Celtic-Brugge:Eskas
Donamo-Dortmund- Petrescu
Liverpool- Real-Kovacs
Psv-Shakhtar-Letexier
Manzano has a Laliga match at 9 PM on Sunday, Basque derby in Bilbao. Difficult to see him on Tuesday in Milano.
DeleteLetexier seems to be busy at domestic local level on Tuesday, so no CL assignment for him:
Deletehttps://footbretagne.fff.fr/simple/soiree-exceptionnelle-regards-croises-clubs-arbitres-au-coeur-du-jeu/
Thanks for such informations, I did not take it into consideration, so Psv Shakhtar goes to ,in my view , Hernandez Hernandez, Inter Leipzig to Nyberg. Thanks one more time!
DeleteNyberg in Inter-Leipzig also basically impossible due to him refereeing the Allsvenskan relegation play-off between Värnamo and Landskrona on Sunday

@Chefren: Erik Lambrechts: MD4 Borussia Dortmund (and MD 5 Bayer Leverkusen) ???? Not impossible, but seems rather unlikely to me.
ReplyDeleteWell, I would understand your argument if we were talking about the same team, but being two different teams, I don't see any problem here, in case, we saw definitely worse management by committee in past. But let's see, it's just a prediction!
DeleteNot a challenging firs half for Chiffi in Milan - Juventus, but definitely poor performance so far in minor things. Missed stonewall YC for SPA after a foul on Leao (100% all UEFA referees would have booked this one), he then had to book him for dissent as first card of the game (very wasted opportunity), then another card a few later to Gatti, Juventus. Not a clear SPA, not a reckless challenge, maybe he tried to balance, but he had another mistake.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the recent very poor times, Rocchi can be satisfied even if a big match ends without major controversy. The level of officiating is very low, though.
Did Ruiz really issued RC to Muriqi for showing middle finger toward opponet?
ReplyDeleteOr did I miss something?
Las Palmas vs Mallorca .
Yes.
DeleteJaime Mata (LPA17) provokes Muriqi (MLL7) celebrating in his face while the ball is in play and both players are in Las Palmas, then Muriqi gives Mata the middle finger as a response. The outcome:
1) IFK for Mallorca in Las Palmas PK area, that results in their winning goal
2) YC for Mata for unsporting behaviour
3) RC for Muriqi for offensive language/gesture.
The issue is the unbelievably incorrect wall distance that he allowed. And the AR's and 4th official say nothing? All opponents must be on the goal line on that indirect free kick since 9.15 meters wasn't possible. He allowed at least 5 defenders stand about 3-4 meters from the ball instead of being on the goal line.
DeleteObservers two days in a row - youth league and champions league - Lannoy, Mallenco, Čeferin, Podeschi... Is it necessary? Is that normal?)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's normal, since the competition has been introduced, it has been more or less like this. In many cases, those who work as observers for the "major" match, CL, also go to the Youth League game. In other cases, however, where UEFA can, they send a local observer l, or different from the one for the other match (very rare), but it doesn't always seem possible. I think this is done because they consider the level of the competition, youth, but from a refereeing point of view it shouldn't change too much, and indeed, it's certainly more important for a Youth League referee in terms of future prospects, where most of the time you essentially see a very young referee. Situation could (should) be managed better but maybe we are more worried than UEFA... :)
