The progress that has occurred while Xabi has been at Leverkusen has indeed made a lot of progress at the club. And this season is their best season in performance, in fact their performance is almost perfect. Currently, Leverkusen can be said to be a club that is very on fire and can also make changes in the Bundesliga over the dominance of Bayern. Yes, although we still don't know whether Bayern Munich will soon take over Leverkusen or not. because unfortunately, there are rumors that Xabi and Real Madrid have reached a personal agreement. but whether this will come true or not. If so, then of course this will have a big influence on Leverkusen.
It seems that everything is just a rumor that is not yet clear because there has been no official statement from Xabi or Madrid. But if they have agreed, of course Xabi must give the best results. At least Xabi can give good memories with the Bundesliga champions. I think Leverkusen will also immediately look for other coaching options to prepare if Xabi leaves. Because they also don't want to keep Xabi. There is no clause of any agreement, but it seems that Leverkusen supports Xabi to develop. Leverkusen will provide a clear door and discussion if Xabi moves. I don't know this is just a rumour or true because at to Xabi Alonso contract there was a special clause because although Xabi contract will be ended at 2026 but he can terminate his contract early in Leverkusen if he will train Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Liverpool and next season we all know Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid which automatically Real Madrid don't have a manager and that's why since October Xabi was linked to Real Madrid because his current achievement was impress Real Madrid owner Leverkusen owner was realized it's hard to hold Xabi Alonso so that's why they will be thinking realistic that if there is any team who showing their interest to Xabi Alonso then they will release Xabi Alonso and find other manager as the replacement of him but Leverkusen has good chances to ended this season with the trophies under him because so far they still playing at several different of competitions just like Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Europa league and if Xabi Alonso can able to managed Leverkusen consistency until end of this season i think they will gets at least 1 trophy |

It is quite unique if we look at Real Betis' match results in the last 5 matches because they got 4 draws and 1 win. This was all achieved because they held several strong teams such as Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and most recently Girona to a draw, but they should have been able to get 3 points instead of 1 point against Almeria. The result of the draw is also the same as eliminating a total of 12 points and maybe next time Real Betis should maximize the existing results rather than just playing a draw.
Even though they only achieved a draw, Real Betis was able to hold the strongest teams in La Liga to a draw at the moment, namely Girona and Real Madrid. This will greatly increase the team's confidence in facing the next matches, namely against Celta and Granada. Both are at the bottom of the standings, which means there is a big opportunity for Real Betis to secure the full 6 points and improve their ranking in the League. I admit that Real Betis cannot be underestimated. They try not to lose when facing strong clubs at the moment (Girona, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad). Indeed, a draw is not a bad result because Real Betis tries not to lose. However, Real Betis has had the most draws so far and this has caused them to lose a lot of points. I hope that in the match against Celta, Real Betis will be able to get 3 points and end their draw so that all the players can work optimally without getting too many draws. I have talking about this previously that Betis had a potention to make Girona to be slipped and it just happend last week that Girona was unable to beat Betis which make their position was overtaked by Real Madrid and if we talking about Betis this team indeed as the team with the most draw in Laliga because from 18 matches Betis was gets 10 draws which mean more than a half from their total matches in Laliga was ended to draw and this make Betis lost plenty of points from their previous matches but i still considers they are strong candidat to fight for european zone As mediocre team Betis has strong defense because during this season they just conceded 18 goals which is good achievement from them and next match also looks easy for them because Betis will playing away at Celta home ground and i haven't checked the odds yet but i will assume Betis will being an the favourite however 1 win from 14 matches in Laliga is proven Celta has poor performance and this should be easy match for Betis and i am sure they will going to win this match |

Napoli and Barcelona may not be in their best form, but Napoli are no more experienced in the Champions League than Barcelona. I believe Xavi can get his team to play better from now on and win more games, but he has to be very careful against Napoli. After all, Napoli still have great players who can give Barcelona suffering until they fail to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Currently both of them are not in their best performance, we can say that both Barcelona and Napoli are experiencing a little difficulty in optimizing their performance. However, fortunately, Barcelona has a coach who is actually quite solid at Barcelona, while Napoli is still in its early days with Mazzarri. So maybe Barcelona should have a better chance. But, Napoli also have great players, so this will be interesting.. Even though both of them don't look very good at the moment, Barcelona's performance in the Champions League cannot be underestimated, while Napoli experienced a much worse decline compared to Barcelona, but at least both teams still have a chance to qualify for the next round. If both of them are able to perform the best and surprising I myself really support Barcelona because in terms of squad and experience, Barcelona is further ahead of Napoli, so I might favor Barcelona more, but that doesn't mean I underestimate Napoli, it's just that this match is a little difficult for of us to predict. Talking about the match between Napoli vs Barcelona the odds for both of teams are equally same @2.55 but actually a bit hard to predict the outcomes of this match because the condition between them is not so different that at their domestic league these teams is still struggle want to return to the winning ways and their performance at champion league also not so impressive because both teams have experience to lose twice even Barcelona have to lose on 6th matches against weak team Antwerp Both teams has been met several times at Champion league and Europa league and Barcelona records was slightly better than Napoli because they were unbeatable in the last 5 meetings but currently Barcelona have a problem with their forward lines because after Lewandowski performance was decline then Barcelona performance seems very unstable but for the first leg i am sure Napoli as a host will attempt to beat Barcelona but just like i said before with their current conditions it's hard to beat Barcelona even for this match i was start to thinking possibly will ended to draw |

After celebrating christmas eve, Paris Saint-Germain will face Lens. I do not even consider that game to be a tough one for Les Parisiens rather its definitely going to be one of the very easy match for PSG to win. Before we start contemplating on the match, where's the standing of Lens? They're seventh position and you expect them to become an headache for PSG? I don't think so, Luis Enrique will once again extend his evidence as an experience coach for PSG this season. He doesn't prohibits any rules of winning, he's well disciplinary principled strict coach that's keen on leading his squad to become the reigning champs of the Ligue One.
For now i only see this match based on the matches statistics between them that Lens has just lose from Nice last week but so far they can able to managed their unbeaten records at home since September on Ligue 1 and based on their meeting statistics too i can see PSG has poor records while playing at Lens home because in the last 3 meeting at Lens home ground PSG only able to gets 1 draw and 2 loses so this is big challenge for Luis Enrique whether he can able to improved PSG meeting records from Lens or not I haven't checked the odds yet but i assume the bookmakers will provided low odds for PSG and it's normal because Lens performance is not as strong as last season when they finished as runners up but i think we have to wait until the league starting again to see the conditions for both teams because if there is no key players who got injured from PSG then probably PSG has good chance to being an the winner of this match |

Talking about Dortmund, Bayern Munich's arch-rival. Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga was relatively poor in the first half of this season. Mr. Terzic's students are the team that scores the fewest goals in the top 5 and concedes the most destinations. Dortmund's goal can only be to reach the top 4 of the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Bayer Leverkusen replaces Dortmund. Has shocked the football world with 25 unbeaten matches on all fronts this season. Alonso's team dominated most of the early matches of the season. It will not be too delusional for us to hope that they will defeat Bayern Munich to win the championship this season.
Dortmund actually Bayern Munich traditional opponent for race title because almost for each season Dortmund and Bayern Munich always be compete to being an the champion but this season was compeletely different because Dortmund performance was decline and they had 15 difference points below to Leverkusen so this season they cannot be say as strong contender for race title because their performance isn't too stable even until mid of season Dortmund only gets 7 wins and they still hard struggle to reach top 4 position because Leipzig and Stuttgart performance which is the teams who into top 4 were more better than them Dortmund performance at champion league was very impressive because they can able to finish at first place of hell group and eliminate big team just like AC Milan but at Bundesliga Dortmund has showed poor performance because in the last 4 matches of Bundesliga Dortmund was unable to gets the winning result and Edin Terzic should be evaluate those results and bringing Dortmund immediately to return to the winning ways however admitted or not losing Bellingham greatly affected to Dortmund's performance this season and i know Terzic was attempts to bought new players as the replacement of Bellingham but unfortunately those players cannot play as expected |

Toulouse performance at their domestic league was quite bad and now their position at the relegation zone with only collect 14 points from 17 matches but the opposite condition at this competition because Toulouse performance was quite stable they even can able to beat Liverpool at group stages and qualified to play off matches against Benfica and about their opponent Benfica is the team from champion league but they were unable to displayed good performance because Benfica only able to gets 1 win from 6 matches and this make they have to satisfied to finish at 3rd place and playing at play off matches
For the first leg Benfica will playing as a host and they are the favourite with low odds @1.46 and indeed with the current condition of Toulouse it's very hard for them to gets the winning result from Benfica especially they have to focus on Ligue 1 because Toulouse also had different target at their domestic league that they want to avoiding relegation zone and in my opinion Benfica will gets easy win from this match they even more likely will advances to the round of 16 without any problem

Having Lukaku back in the team and in the shape he is currently in is never bad of course, but the really decisive scenes in this game were the red cards. Those cards pulled the rug under Napoli's feet.
Lukaku got his goal, which helps him to quickly get back to normal and nobody cares whether he scored that against 9 Napoli players or 11 Napoli players. But for Napoli the tendency for the moment is bad and stopping it is hard.
Roma will try to get into the top 4 of the Serie A standings. This will help them get Lukaku permanently, which is said to be one of the conditions for Roma if they want to get Lukaku permanently. It's still quite confusing why not let Lukaku go permanently if Chelsea doesn't really need his services. Even though Roma's current performance is not consistent enough, I am sure they can get a place in the UCL next season by finishing in the top 4 of the standings. Top 4 indeed will being an Roma target this season because they want to playing again at champion league and Roma last participant on that competition was happened on 2019 and since that year Roma was failed to reach to top 4 and they had several times to playing at Europa league and being an the finalist last season and after beat Napoli indeed most of Roma players was in the good mentally and they were very confident can beat Juventus this weekend although i know this is hard match for them because Juventus was more good than them if we see based on head to head statistics About Lukaku this season he was found his shape again because from total 20 matches in all competitions Lukaku can able to scores 13 goals and Lukaku haven't done it while playing at Chelsea but regarding his status currently Lukaku as loan player in Roma and last summer why Roma has decided only want to loan him from Chelsea because Roma doesn't have money to bought him and at the end of this season everything will be decided whether Lukaku will return to Chelsea or Roma will permanent him or Lukaku maybe will take other options moved to other teams instead of Roma or Chelsea |

Sheffield United vs Luton
I think the conditions between both of teams is in the good shape because Sheffield United has just gets draw result from strong team Aston Villa and Luton too can able to gets their 3rd winning from Newcastle last week so i think they are in the positive condition and Sheffield United and Luton has same target that they want to avoiding relegation zone and survive at premier league although i personally doubt these teams can able to managed their performance until end of this season
Because the status of both teams is promotion team this is their first met at premier league but previously Sheffield United and Luton was several times to met at championship division and the statistics from them looks equal because from 4 meetings Luton and Sheffield United can able to get 1 win each and 2 times draw and for home team Sheffield United their statistics during this season was quite bad they even lose with big scores several times but at least they can gets 2 wins from Wolves and Brentford
Regarding team conditions Sheffield United will lost Jayden Bogle who got suspension because card accumulation but their striker Cameron Archer will be available and last week Archer was scored and bringing Sheffield United to stole 1 point from Aston Villa and for Luton their defender Tom Lockyer still doubtful to play and Reece Burke still attempts to recover from his injured however about the outcomes of this match i was thinking the match will ended to draw especially their recent performance also not so different and the odds for draw is quite high @3.00

I believe that Barcelona will not win a trophy this season because they are not in good shape and their players' performances are very poor, which is why they can't compete with other clubs in the team, and Xavi needs to solve this issue in the next transfer windows because they need to get some young strikers in the clubs who can perform very well and make the team stronger, but the issue is that Barcelona doesn't have enough funds to buy key players, which I believe is why they loan cancelo and Felix and he will be hard to buy this key players permanently in the club, Because they lack funds, they need should sell some of their players and sign Felix to a full contract so that the club can improve. If Felix and Cancelo leave Barcelona now, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to defeat other clubs in the league. I believe Barcelona has given up on winning the league title and will instead focus on the Champions League.
Barcelona still playing at 3 different competitions just like Laliga, Copa Del Rey and Champion league and there is a chance for them to gets at least 1 trophy this season but indeed Xavi have to make this team playing with more consistent because lately they have a problem with their defense because from 4 latest matches Barcelona have already to conceded 10 goals with no cleansheet and even weak team just like Almeria can able to scores 2 goals to them so Xavi should be evaluate this result because next month Barcelona will faced some of tough teams just like Betis or Villarreal Xavi personally admitted Barcelona have a problem with their front lines because previously Barcelona was too rely on Lewandowski but this season the performance of this player was decline which it greatly affected to the performance of Barcelona because in the last few matches Barcelona always be difficult to win and for winter transfer window Xavi has a plan want to gets new players but with their current financial condition it's hard for them to gets good players to strengthen their squad but indeed this january the transfer of Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense has been done which mean he can make his debut with Barcelona soon |

After being slumped at the bottom for a long time, Rennes can now return to the top 10 of the standings and their previous victory against Clermont allowed them to set foot on the right path. Rennes is actually one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, it's just that they experienced a bad start to the season this year which caused them to have to climb from the bottom place. However, Rennes can still provide a good performance and it seems that the competition for the remainder of this season will heat up again with Rennes joining. The gap to the top 4 is still quite manageable considering that there are still many matches that need to be played and also the resilience of the performance of the teams above will definitely experience a decline in the future. I can't wait for more intense competition after this year ends.
Talking about Rennes this team last season was hard to beated especially while playing at home and at that time they were successfully to beat strong teams just like PSG and Monaco even Rennes can able to beat PSG twice last season and Rennes also can managed their position on league standings because they can reach to top 4 two season in a row so they are can be considered as strong team in Ligue 1 and just like i said before why Rennes performance was decline because they were losing some of their important players one of them is Jérémy Doku who moved to Manchester City Rennes performance was very unstable because sometimes they can performing well but often too Rennes performing poorly and lose from weak teams but at least at Europa League Rennes can successfully to advances to play off matches and they will fight against Milan however i know Rennes position on league standings is still not safe because they only have 3 point difference from the team in the relegation zone but i believe Rennes will be able to bounce back soon and at the end of this season Rennes will not being to relegated |

After receiving news regarding Man United planning to recruit a striker in January and some of the names on the list were quite strange. Maybe because the budget given is still limited, I don't think this recruitment will have much of an impact as long as the coach is Erik Ten Hag. I mean even if you recruit famous players, it is very difficult to get out of the position of Man United players who don't work together on the field. Based on the last match alone, it shows the lowest quality of Man United game. Bruno Fernandes looks tired of seeing Rashford who is lazy about chasing the ball, Antony who usually doesn't play much of a role in his position, so it's no wonder there are plans to swap Antony with Kubo, a Real Sociedad player and former Madrid player, who is definitely more useful in helping sharper attacks.
Manchester United doesn't have sharp striker and it proven from their players statistics because Manchester United top scorer is belongs to Mctominay which is the midfielder and we can see it based from Manchester United forward player lists that the players just like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Antony were unable to performing well and Manchester United was bought Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta to solved their problem but this transfer was failure because until today Rasmus Hojlund still unable to scores goals in Premier league Reported if Manchester United want to bought new players they have to sell their current players first and the rumour is at least 4 players who into Manchester United selling list just like Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, and Anthony Martial that they will be sell this January and Manchester United targetting fresh funds 80 millions from these players so if this according to their plan Manchester United can buy new striker to strengthen their forward lines but indeed there is no guarantee if they buy new striker Manchester United can able to performing well because their current problem is not only from their forward lines |

Martinez's picking up an injury must be really sad news for Inter. They won against Lecce comfortably anyway but they would like to have him back as soon as possible. His expected return date in January 3 now. They need him the most especially in bigger games in the Serie A and of course every single game from now on in the Champions League.  He is having a much more productive season. He has scored more than one third of the number of goals Inter have scored in the Serie A so far. He is doing just fine in the Champions League too but his contribution would be more critical as of the current round. They have a really tough matchup against Atletico Madrid. Martinez seems confident he will be return to play soon and currently he still focusing to recover from his injured and last week even without him Inter Milan can win easily from Lecce but Martinez is Inter Milan goal machine and from total 41 goals during this season Martinez has scores 15 goals which mean almost a half of Inter Milan goals was happened from Martinez so he is important player for this team Inter Milan this weekend will fight against Genoa and it is confirmed Martinez will not be available and actually Inzaghi doesn't have many options for the front lines because at the squad Inter Milan has 4 players for forward lines total but two of them have gotten injuries Martinez and Sanchez so most likely Thuram will be played along with Marko Arnautovic but this player until now still unable to scored goal and yesterday Arnautovic was played while Inter Milan beat Lecce but i have to say he was performing poorly I think Inter Milan shouldn't be underestimate Genoa because as mediocre team they were often can make big teams get in trouble and during this season the teams just like Napoli, Roma or Juventus was failed to beat them even Roma have to lose with big scores from them and about the odds Inter Milan has odds @1.60 but i am a bit doubt Inter Milan can able to overcomes Genoa with their condition especially Inter Milan's front lines strength is much reduced without Martinez but for safe bets i think both teams to scores is good |

Marcelo Gallardo as new manager still unable to bringing Al Ittihad to performing well because from 4 latest matches in Saudi Pro League Al Ittihad only get 1 win and yesterday Al Ittihad have to suffering another loses from Al Raed and the red card indeed has been ruin their performance because since that incident Al Ittihad looks to lost their rhythm and this is their 5th loss of the season and they have 21 difference points below to Al Hilal the team who in the first place and i think they have to give up to defend their title because it's near to impossible to cut their points gap with Al Hilal
This Wednesday Al Ittihad will gets tough opponent Al Nassr and we all know currently Al Nassr is in the good shape with Ronaldo as their top scorer with 17 goals Al Nassr even has just beat Al-Ettifaq last week and Al Nassr also can advances to the semifinal of King Cup after eliminate Al Shabab with big scores so this is hard match for Al Ittihad even my predictions is Al Nassr will being an the winner of this match and the bookmakers even provided low odds for Al Nassr @1.50

We see good performance from Leverkusen during this season but that's not a good reason to say Bayern Munich is not going to win the Bundesliga title anymore, Bayern Munich is a team with experienced and expensive players like Harry Kane in their team, and that usually has many better chance than all other teams in the Bundesliga. I even think Leverkusen will lose their place soon in the table to Bayern Munich.
I very much agree with your opinion. Even though Leverkusen currently leads the standings, we can see that Munich has a winning mentality and is a good team. You can see last season where they ultimately became champions even though they had the same number of points as Dortmund. Leverkusen has played quite solidly this season, but for me the presence of a world-class striker will really have a big influence on the team's consistency in playing in the League. Basically Leverkusen is a mediocre team in Bundesliga they even still lose from the financial and popularity compared to Dortmund but Xabi Alonso was make this team playing with very consistent this season and last summer Leverkusen didn't spend a lot of money to buy the players but their transfer was very effective because new players just like Victor Boniface or Granit Xhaka can able to adapt quickly with Xabi Alonso strategies especially for Victor Boniface currently he was Leverkusen top scorer with 10 goals in bundesliga The rally looks very interesting for each weeks because whether it Leverkusen or Bayern Munich can able to displayed consistent performance and if we talking about the mentalities between these teams i think they are equally strong and finally Bayern Munich gets decent opponent for race title so i am looking forward to see which team who can able to managed their consistency until at the end of this season however after Christmas break both teams will faced easy matches because Bayern Munich will faced Hoffenheim and Leverkusen will fight against Augsburg so i am confident they can able to beat their opponents easily |

PSG having lethal attack which can break their defence and backbone as well and with this all Real Sociedad is having no attack which can give them good results in last three games they have two games without scoring any goal which is also giving all details how things are working for them in this season in La Liga in group stages they were not able to score goals against Inter Milan and Salzburg in away game and at home as well.
If you compare PSG with Real Sociedad then I can say that PSG is much better than Real Sociedad. Many people say Real Sociedad is much better because they play in La Liga but I see that Sociedad this season has some problems with their defense. This is of course a big weakness because we know PSG has a striker like Mbappe who of course can pose the biggest threat to Sociedad. From the experience without doubt PSG far better than Sociedad because although PSG always be failed to gets the trophy from this competition but they always be as champion favourite for each season PSG even can reach to the final match several years ago so they are obviously more better than Sociedad but i have to says this season PSG performance a bit decline because they have to hard struggle to qualified even PSG position on league standings have to determined on the last match of group stages In my opinion Sociedad cannot be underestimate because at group stages Sociedad performance was more better compared to PSG and Sociedad can successfully to occupy first place at the end of group stages and the recent performance from both teams is equally same because they are still unbeatable at their domestic league in the last 5 matches and for the first leg PSG will playing as a host and i am sure they will be taking initiative to playing attacking and dominate the game and if PSG can able to beat Sociedad then their journey for second leg will be more easy |

I expect Liverpool can able to win but unfortunately they were failed to utilized their home match and Liverpool have to satisfied to playing draw from Arsenal and top 3 position hasn't change because Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa only able to playing draw but after beat Everton yesterday finally Tottenham can return to top 4 again and for Manchester City this team yesterday was playing at FIFA World cup and successfully to gets the trophy but at premier league they still have 1 postponed match against Brentford which is most likely they will going to win that match and overtake 4th place from Tottenham
Relegation zone also seems very interesting to watched because yesterday Luton and Burnley can able to beat their opponents and for Luton vs Newcastle just like i said before the match begin sometimes Luton can able to performing well at their home ground and it just happend today that they can able to beat Newcastle with narrow score and although Luton didn't dominate the game i have to says they were performing better than Newcastle and for Burnley i think the match against Fulham is very fantastic because Fulham at home was quite strong but yesterday Burnley can able to stole 3 points from Fulham at Craven Cottage

Luis Suárez officially joined Inter Miami and he is going to play in the same team with Messi. I think there is a good relationship between Luis Suárez and Messi maybe that's the main reason for Luis Suárez to join Inter Miami and he is probably going to end his career in the same team as Messi.  Previously Luis Suárez was playing at Gremio but he has decided to ended his contract at that team early and Luis Suárez still able to performing well because from 23 matches Luis Suárez can scores 14 goals with that team and actually Gremio doesn't want he moved because although Luis Suárez is not young anymore but he still able to managed his performance and regularly to scores goals but seems Suárez want to find new challenge and he decided to left that team and moved to Inter Miami However this actually old rumour because several months ago Luis Suárez was linked to Inter Miami and now it just happend that he will gets 1 year contract duration with this team and in Inter Miami Luis Suárez will reunion with his team mate in Barcelona just like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba and i am sure he will be so glad to playing together with these players again |

Newcastle has got too many injured players which are not going to play in today's match and this for sure is really going to affect their performance, luton on the other hand has got a few aswell but as the hosting team they may have the slight home advantage but then they still don't appear as favourite in this game as the bookies are given higher odds to Luton.
If it were to be the Newcastle earlier this season, I will say with almost no doubts that they will be able to win Luton with little or no stress but finishing at the bottom of the Suck and with current decline in their form, I wouldn't be really surprised to see Luton beat Newcastle or probably end the game in s draw. Crashing out of the carabao cup is another defeat that could affect the morale of Newcastle except they are able to get pass it quick enough then they can get good results from this match otherwise it will be an advantage to Luton.
Recently i have seen to Newcastle injured lists players and at least they got 12 players who not be available today and this indeed isn't good situations for them because currently Newcastle lost so many points from their previous matches in premier league and Newcastle even have to eliminated by Chelsea few days ago at Carabao Cup and indeed their current opponent is relatively easy because Newcastle only faced Luton Town and we all know this season Luton is relegation candidate and beat them shouldn't be hard for Newcastle if they can play with full team Newcastle will be played Callum Wilson as centre striker so far this player can able to performing well as Alexander Isak replacement who got long term injured and Miguel Almiron also in the good shape for today match and i know Luton is a weak team but sometimes they can performing well at home because they were successfully to stole 1 point from Liverpool few weeks ago and this is hard match for Newcastle because they have to playing with their current squad however Newcastle has odds @1.66 clearly they are the favourite but i highly doubt Newcastle can able to overcomes Luton even i have to agree with you this match have a potention to ended with draw |

I still don't believe Lorient will continue to slump in the relegation zone and the previous heavy defeat against Brest continues to worsen their position. Lorient can only collect 12 points in 2023 and from 17 matches they have 2 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats. This is in contrast to the quality of their performance last season, which managed to appear quite consistent and finish in the top 10 of the standings. I don't know whether they can survive this season or not. It is clear that competition will continue to increase to be free from the relegation zone. However, it is clear that Lorient must be able to recover and be able to emulate what Lyon has done by successfully getting out of the relegation zone since the start of this season.
I didn't expect Lorient to be in the relegation zone this season. We saw quite a good performance from Lorient in the previous season as well. But from the beginning of this season, their performance started to decline. Out of 17 matches, the team won only two matches. And yet their performance is very erratic. The poor performance of the defenders is the reason why Lorient is in such a bad situation. Lorient conceded 35 goals in 17 matches. But there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play 19 matches and Lorient still has a chance to come out of the relegation zone. If Lorient can tighten up their defense then I think the team can get out of the relegation zone. Because their attack is not weak. If we talking about Lorient this team was got promotion on season 2019-2020 and they can able to survive at Ligue 1 until now although almost for each season Lorient always be hard struggle to avoiding relegation zone but at least Lorient can able to survive in the last 3 season and indeed last season Lorient was reach one of their best achievement during participant at Ligue 1 because at that time Lorient can able to finish at 10th place with collect 55 points from 34 matches but this season i think it's very hard for them to achieve again top 10 position Ligue 1 was already to reach mid season but there was no good progress from Lorient although the league still have 17 matches remaining but i was highly doubt Lorient can able to bounce back and avoiding relegation zone and talking about Lorient upcoming opponent for next month they have tight schedule because they have to fight against tough team Lille and indeed for the first meet Lorient can win with big scores from Lille but with their current condition i was doubt Lorient will be able to repeat that result even most likely they will be lose from this match |

Bologna vs Atalanta
Bologna was in the good shape because they can able to managed their performance recently and from 5 latest matches in all competitions Bologna can gets 4 wins and 1 draw and in Serie A Bologna was successfully to beat Roma and their impressive record was resumes because on Thursday Bologna can beat and eliminate strong team Inter Milan on Copa Italy and this result too makes them can advances to the quarterfinal
For their opponent Atalanta this team also last week has successfully to beat Salernitana and on Europa league too Atalanta can able to being an group champion and qualified to the round of 16 and this is interesting because recently i have just check the odds for these teams and they had equal odds @2.70 which mean the bookmakers consider they are equally strong and for meeting statistics Atalanta was more good because from 5 latest meetings Atalanta can gets 3 wins and only lose once
Bologna was change this season because they were very strong during play at their home ground and from 6 latest home matches Bologna can able to gets 5 wins and only conceded 1 goal so these records has proven Bologna have a potention to being an the winner of this match and about the squad Riccardo Orsolini is still struggle to recover from his injured but for forward lines Bologna still have Joshua Zirkzee and about the outcomes of this match considering Bologna factor while playing at home i think Bologna will being an the winner of this match
