Tuesday and Wednesday start times for South Africa
A Champions League week runs over two nights, Tuesday and Wednesday, with an early game and a main slot on each. UEFA fixes those at 18:45 and 21:00 in Central European Time.
SAST equals Central European Summer Time, so until late October the list shows 18:45 and 21:00. After the European clocks change, South Africa sits one hour ahead of CET and the times read 19:45 and 22:00.
The 22:00 slot finishes near midnight in South Africa, and its score joins the results list soon after. A Tip button appears on each row about 40 hours before kick-off, once the prediction is written.
Knockout ties appear once the draws in late January and February set them, within 30 minutes of each draw.
Recent UCL scores, extra time and penalties
Scores from recent Champions League fixtures come in newest day first, taken after 90 minutes. A knockout tie that runs to extra time shows the final score with AET beside it, and PEN marks one settled on penalties.

Each result reaches the Champions League log within about 30 minutes, so a Tuesday main-slot game shows in the table soon after midnight SAST. Wednesday’s games then move it again the next night.
The eighth matchday puts every club on the pitch at the same moment, so its scores arrive in one batch near midnight SAST. Eight rows fit the list, and a busy night pushes older scores off the bottom.
Goals and home wins across the league phase
Six tiles summarise every UCL match since 1 July, qualifying rounds included, and they change after each result. They split results into home wins, away wins and draws, then add goals per game and the shares of over 2.5 and BTTS.
With 36 clubs, each matchday holds 18 games, and eight matchdays add up to 144 league phase matches. That is enough for the tiles to settle before the final round in late January.
Early mismatches between big clubs and lower-ranked sides push the goals figures up. The knockout rounds pull them back as stronger teams meet, and the Champions League fixtures from February onwards show that shift. The same numbers feed the goals calls on the Champions League predictions.
