from what I see real madrid despite the next games being against teams considered weak like cadiz who in the last 5 games they haven't managed to win in any game, after the game against cadiz, real madrid will have a game against napoli, see that in this game the real madrid coach will have to rotate players, which will also run the risk of losing, but as real madrid has a good lead in the group so they can afford to lose points. but then real madrid will have a game against granada which is another team that is in a bad state, and in the last 5 games they haven't won in any game, so I see that real madrid even with the lack of some players may have a chance of winning
But Real Madrid's problems start after the game against Granada, when they play against Betis, who haven't had any defeat in the last 5 games, I see that in this game Real Madrid have a chance of losing. and then real madrid will have a game against villareal, another team that could make real madrid lose points. Then there will be more teams that can cause loss of points, I'm talking about getafe, las palmas. I see that the next 2 to 3 months will be troubled months for Real Madrid because of these injuries
Ancelotti lost 8 players due to injury at various times. Courtois and Eder Militao are out until March 2024, and most recently Vinicius is expected to be available again in January next year. Ancelotti experienced a very dilemmatic situation, where the Italian coach had to rack his brains to find the right formula to bring Los Blancos to remain consistent in every competition he participated in. I am quite optimistic that Madrid match in La Liga will not encounter many obstacles, although this is only an assumption. Considering that their toughest opponents at domestic level are only Barcelona and Atletico, apart from these two clubs, I think Carvajal and his colleagues will be able to overcome them well. Los Blancos position in the Champions League competition is very safe, by topping the group and having guaranteed themselves to qualify for the round of 16, even though in the remaining two matches they will lose points, this will not have an impact. Overall, losing many players due to injury does make it difficult to achieve targets and realize ambitions, but on the other hand, the depth of Madrid's squad provides quite a lot of choices as rotation options for Ancelotti. |

Already Eric Ten Hag doesn't really have much faith in his contract as united coach because from their poor performance so far I think he might be sensing an end to his contract at united. The only thing that can save Eric Ten Hag at this material time is to secure winnings consecutively otherwise am afraid he might be heading his way out of Manchester united. I don't think there will be a rocket science in this. I feel like Eric Ten Hag have already lost it in the United at this point in time because it is easy to enjoy winning than it is to enjoying losing especially if you are a manager in just big club. When he was performing pretty better than now, it was easier for him to maintain that tempo for a while but now that he is failing almost consecutively and hitting the club badly, it will be very difficult for him to bring them back to form again. The best that can be done for Eric right now to help himself is to vacate the club and get another team to work with and maybe try to blend wit the new team again, this time around better than the former. Manchester United management has given Ten Hag ample time and opportunities. They paid big funds to Ten Hag, to strengthen the squad with players of their choice. Ten Hag spent a lot of money. However, the position of Manchester United has not changed. Manchester United's performance has deteriorated further compared to last season. And I'm sick of seeing Ten Hag's bad match strategy every match. Manchester United management may soon sack Ten Hag. I think Manchester United will change their situation quickly if they get an experienced coach like Zidane. It would be very lucky if Zidane wanted to coach Man United. I also understand that all the efforts made by Ten Hag led to failure, even though he was financially supported which made him free in the transfer market last summer. Especially when looking at the fact that Ten Hag nearly failed to bring United through to the last 16 of the Champions League this season, the Red Devils management actually had to take a stand. A series of events that occurred within United made the situation less fortunate, and in the end we will again come to the conclusion that the dutch coach deserves to be replaced. I thought he was very good when he coached his old club Ajax, but here many people are frustrated by his decision making. Rumors of The Red Devils management interest in Zidane have been around for a long time, but so far there have been no indications that make us confident that the former Madrid coach will go to Old Trafford. There are many things that must be improved, starting at the club top level down to the players so that the club can repeat like the glory of the Ferguson era. |

It is very likely that both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are going to win their away matches and for Bayern Munich this should be easier than for Leverkusen. I think Wolfsburg isn't a very good team, but also not a bad team, which means that they can resist some pressure for some time. It is still weird that Cologne is sticking to their coach and haven't done anything about it yet. But there has been some negative trend since two seasons ago when they finished 7th. In my opinion at the end of the season they could be in the relegation zone this season.
I also think that Bayern Munchen and Bayer Laverkusen will win the match in week 12. This means that the standings will not change with Xabi squad still leading in first place, I am quite sure that Koln and Bremen will not make any surprises even though both will act as hosts in their respective matches. I only believe in Bayern Munich, for Bayer Leverkusen, even though the bookies favor them, there's a tendency that they will also get a draw in this match. Bayer Leverkusen's winning streak isn't an ordinary thing, it is not natural that they will get positive results continuously, that's the reason I'm not sure that Bayer Leverkusen can win easily against Werder Bremen.
Regarding Koln, they're currently in the relegation zone with Union Berlin, it's not impossible that they will be relegated at the end of the season considering their current performance.
I think the match will be intense, especially since all clubs have more time after the international break. However, I think Laverkusean will be able to secure full points even though he is acting as a guest. We have seen how consistent Xabi squad is this season in two competitions, the Bundesliga and the Europa League. |

Pelaku usaha saat ini harus mampu beradaptasi sesuai perkembangan zaman. Selain itu semuanya bisa dianggap sebagai pelengkap dalam menurunnya omset mereka, katakanlan keadaan seperti Inflasi sekarang. Secara pribadi saya melihat hal tersebut adalah indikator utama dalam semua keluh kesah pelaku usaha. Disisi lain para pelaku usaha Offline harus belajar bagaimana menjajaki usahanya secara Online, supaya mampu bersaing dan mencapai target yang di tetapkan. Namun disinilah letak tantangan sebenarnya, mereka harus terlibat aktif dan harus mau belajar menguasai ilmu baru seperti memahami algoritma pasar online. Sebab jika tidak maka mereka harus menutup usahanya.
Faktor lain seperti menerapkan gaya hidup hemat sebenarnya juga mempunyai andil dalam hal ini, tetapi ini berkaitan erat dengan pendapatan masing-masing orang. Pada akhirnya tantangan yang jauh lebih besar akibat fenomena semacam ini adalah arah kebijakan pemerintah dalam menjaga kestabilan harga kebutuhan pokok, yang menjadi acuan mata barang lainnya ikut naik apabila salah satu kebutuhan pokok naik.

AC Milan vs Fiorentina
An interesting match apart from the derby match between Juventus and Iter Milan in week 13, this match will determine the position of Milan and Fiorentina in the top four of the standings. Referring to the last four matches between the two, Milan have never won with two draws and two defeats, while Fiorentina won one win and the rest they lost.
Pioli squad has the advantage of playing at home, but this season the San Siro has also been a place where they have failed get full points several times, Rafael Leao injury and Giroud's suspension have been a major blow for Pioli, at a time when they need a complete squad to make good fortune in Serie A at the same time at UCL.
In the Fiorentina camp, Vincenzo also found several of his players in the treatment room due to injuries. Milan must be wary of Vincenzo ambition to bring his squad into the top four of the standings and must not be underestimated. However, I think this match will end in a draw, even though on paper Milan is superior. It is hoped that Milan will be able to stop their negative trend when they play Fiorentina in the next match. It's hard to believe that Milan lost quite a lot of points in their last 4 matches with 2 draws and 2 losses, but the probability of winning should be very good especially when they play at home. Of course it would be very bad if in the end Milan still failed to win the match against Fiorentina, but I can think otherwise where victory is something that is possible. Atalanta vs Napoli and Juventus vs Inter are two other matches that will also be interesting in week 13. Milan must take advantage of everything to win at home because they have the potential to cut several points from the top ranked team, especially if they cannot win the match. But let's see what happens next week. Milan should have had to get three points to close the gap with Inter and Juventus at the top of the standings. Pioli must find the right formula in the upcoming match against Fiorentina, as well as determining a mature starting XI for that match. Apart from affecting their position in Serie A, victory over Fiorentina could also be valuable capital to face Dortmund on matchday 5 of the UCL group phase. The match between Atalanta versus Napoli is no less interesting, the change of coach in the Napoli camp makes us all curious. We know that the two clubs are only one point apart in fighting for a place in the top four of the current standings, I think this match will end in a draw, because Walter Mazzarri needs a little adaptation in managing his new squad. The competition will become even fiercer if Juventus and Inter draw, which means that both of them will stumble and fail to increase the points gap in the standings from Milan and Napoli. So the opportunity to overtake each other in the top four will open again, and that will be very interesting to enjoy. |

The way Newcastle are performing with their average squad is admirable. They beat a strong PSG team by a big margin in the Champions League match. We saw a good performance from the Newcastle team. But I would be happy if Newcastle could qualify for the Europa League. I'm not sure if Newcastle will finish third in the Group F table.
However, Newcastle has the potential to do well in the Europa League if they play in the Europa League. Also, the Newcastle management is very rich. They can strengthen their team by adding star players if they want. Newcastle management has this capability.
Newcastle is looking really promising in their group and their performance since this season in the champions league and premier league aswell have been little above average and it's really worth the commendation because they are brilliant with their performance so far and are suprising us with really good performance. I least expected they would be really this good at this point although they weren't bad at all in the beginning but they were just doing average with a little bit of inconsistency such that one will doubt if they would be able to get pass the group stage in the UCL but currently it seems the have got a little hope on their side considering that they have won PSG in their first meeting at home, hopefully they would get a draw away but If they win they their chances to qualify definitely gets better. Newcastle is not doing well at the moment. A storm of injuries and sanctions hit their main squad, their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are now slimmer than before. For me, Eddi Howe squad is very difficult to advance to the next round, because they have to beat PSG and AC Milan in the remaining two matches. Even though it is not impossible, the lack of options in the starting XI will make them unlucky. The most realistic path is to finish in third place and continue competing in the Europa League, but this also requires that they be better than Milan, who are currently in that position. Overall, the fate of the clubs in Group F really depends on each other. I predict Dortmund and PSG will advance to the round of 16 from group F. Next, Newcastle will be faced with testing weeks, Chelsea, PSG and Man United await them after the international break. With the facts we already know, it is very natural to say that Eddi Howe will experience a headache, considering that the current situation is not in his favor. |

La Liga dominance teams only Real Madrid and Barcelona but Atletico Madrid ever won in season 2020/21, although last two season La Liga dominance by Real Madrid and Barcelona who take turns winning with Madrid season 2021/22 then Barcelona on last season. Good appreciated by Atletico Madrid management give extended contract from their manager Diego Simione will extend until June 2027 after his contributing winning two La Liga tittle.
Yes. In each season, there are only 3 teams which compete for the titles. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid too dominate the La Liga competition. They are too strong, other teams have no capability to compete with them. Well, it was quite surprising that Atletico Madrid could win the title in the season 2020-2021. And for this season, we have Girona which is leading the La Liga standings now. Will Girona win the La Liga title this season? If they win the title, it will be a big surprise for this season. However, TBH I a bit doubt it. The 3 teams mentioned are indeed the holders of dominance in La Liga, they take turns to be able to get a title. But in certain seasons there will be one team emerging as their competitor, such as Sevilla, although in the end they also had to lose consistency and could only return to 4th place. This season another team has emerged, Girona, who are currently at the top of the table. Whether they will have the same fate as Sevilla is something to look forward to. It is very difficult for a team like Girona to win the La Liga title. There is no doubt that they are top of the table and doing very well. But we are not sure if the team will be able to do well in the long run. If you want to win the La Liga title, there must be consistency in performance. And to play consistently well until the end of the season. It will be difficult for Girona to maintain consistency if a key player in their squad suffers an injury. But it will be a miracle if Girona are champions. Personally, I consider Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid as favourites for the La Liga title. However, I would put Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid slightly ahead of Barcelona. The squads of these two teams are quite strong this season and their performances are also regular. The only way for Girona to win the La Liga trophy apart from having to consistently get points is a decline in the performance of the three teams, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Apart from the above scenario I doubt they can do it, and expecting the three favorite clubs to decline in terms of performance is not a good idea for Girona. Personally, I am also very impressed with their improvement in performance this season, perhaps this is also felt by everyone who is enjoying the competition in the top four of the La Liga standings this season. It is not an easy matter to try to top the standings and create a points gap with the three favorite clubs that I mentioned earlier, but Michel squad has so far been able to do it. It will be very interesting to see how Girona journey ends this season, after seeing how they struggle to get 3 points in every match, I am quite sure they will take the step to join the UCL next season by finishing in the top four of the standings. However, they must be very careful in the january transfer market, so as not to lose their players to move and leave the club. |

Despite his recent performance is awful, I believe Barcelona will demand higher than Torres's market value since they're always try to make profit. Maybe Newcastle need to spend 40-50 Million Euros to sign him, I'm not sure if such amount is worth it. I guess Newcastle better to loan than permanently sign him. The market price according to the Transfer Markt Ferran Torres has a market price of 35M if Barcelona demands more than that then of course the price is very high, there is also a decian because he wants a bigger profit but other clubs will definitely consider the price mentioned even though we don't know the official offer yet. Well maybe it's a good option to loan him rather than contact him, but Newcastle must have another view behind this, but some other media still haven't reported or are not crowded meaning this is still not valid whether there is an offer or not. I think Newcastle will definitely sign some players in the transfer season that will open soon, because they need some players that are needed. The financial strength that Newcastle currently has makes me think that they can realize the Ferran Torres transfer saga, to cover the temporary hole left by Tonali. However, on the other hand, they also have to comply with FFP rules, so that nothing like what happened to the Everton club recently happened. The January transfer window will be a good opportunity to do this, Eddie Howe needs additional players to strengthen his fleet amidst the storm of injuries and sanctions received by his players. There are at least 13 players who are having problems in Newcastle main squad, with details of 8 players injured and 5 of them being banned from playing. It is very reasonable now why their performance has become unstable either in the EPL or in the UCL, I think it is very natural for Eddie Howe to demand that management be active in the January transfer window, even though it has to go through the loan player route.

Everton, which previously collected 14 points and was in 14th position in the standings, has now been thrown into the temporary relegation zone after being proven to have violated the FFP. The reduction of 10 points means that Everton now only get 4 points and they have to fight again to collect points in each match in order to be free from the relegation zone. This is the punishment that Everton must accept and it seems that they cannot do anything because the federation has decided that. I feel that Everton, who usually finish at the bottom of the table every season, now still have to repeat the same thing and of course they have to remain strong to get through this dark period.
Looking their' recent performance, I don't think they will relegated. I believe they will comeback, but after all Everton is just Everton, they can't going up to reach top 7 and will end near bottom position. However I remember before this season started, many people were praise Burnley and they think Burnley could be a new contender, but they're currently stay at the lowest position lol. Last season, Everton was only able to finish in 17th place in the EPL standings by collecting 36 points, meaning they finished one level above the degradation zone. The points deduction this time means that Sean Dyche squad has to fight harder to get out of the degradation zone. I am very sure they will not be degradation next season. However, looking at their future match schedule, it looks like their efforts will be really difficult. Man United, Nottingham, Newcastle, Chelsea, Burnley, Tottenham and Manchester City are a number of the clubs they will face in the future. I can only say that the maximum points that can be achieved is 6, namely when facing Nottingham and Burnley, while in other matches I doubt it. Even though there is no choice for them now other than to improve their own fate by getting as many points as possible with a sense of optimism, management errors in decision making have a negative impact on the players mentality. |

Napoli sitting 4th and they're determine to claim first but I don't see that happening anytime soon because they have challenging rivals to play against. Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis will not blame the new coach if his team doesn't stand the gigantic energy in forthcoming games. Napoli new coach, Walter Mazzarri can only survive if he's able to withstand the pressing pressure from these elite teams by making defensive tactics. Napoli are defending Champs and I know winning games wouldn't be complicated for them specifically against average teams.
After resolving the internal problems by firing the old coach and replacing him with a new one, of course there are good hopes that are being hoped for by the team management or the entire Napoli team at this time. Because in the next match, Napoli will face Atalanta at Gewiss Stadium, which is not an opponent that should be considered normal this season. Because Atalanta itself is right below Napoli with a distance of one point, so it will be very crucial for Napoli if they are able to beat Atalanta in the upcoming match. I think Walter Mazzarri will also do the same thing to the reigning Serie A champions, I mean will lead them to decline. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis took panic steps by appointing him as the new coach to replace Rudi Garcia, Conte refusal seems to me quite reasonable at this point. How can a club look to the future with a contradictory vision and mission, I mean they are not adding quality new players to the team and retaining Spalleti as coach to win the Scudetto again this season, instead the management sold one of its best assets in the transfer market, Kim Min Jae is the person I mean. However, this is just a personal opinion because we know that changing coaches at times like this is very risky, if you don't get instant results then the team performance will plummet. I think their future matches will be the right means to assess the quality of the new coach, what is clear is that Atalanta also wants a place in the top four of the standings. |

There should be no comparison between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Aston Villa is more of a coordinated club than Manchester United.
And get it clear now, Manchester United can never follow in the same pathway followed by the blues last season, Chelsea employed a poor coach who have never managed a club that has moved pass the top ten in the Premier League. That said, Graham Potter has never managed a big club like Chelsea not to even talk about the pressure that comes from the Champions League.
He was given too much time amd yet nothing positive came up. Erik Ten Hag is different, for if you have seen Erik Ten Hag manage Ajax against Real Madrid and other clubs in the Champions League, you won't be saying this. Erik Ten Hag just needs a proper defensive midfielder and new set of defenders.
The EPL is in currently in the 12th week, not even up to half way the tournament yet, which means that Manchester United still have about 26 matches left to correct their mistakes and try getting into the top four, well they might be 5 points behind Aston Villa currently but that doesn't mean Aston Villa would finish above them, let's take for instance,Newcastle where performing better than Manchester united at some point last season but united managed to finish 3rd position above them when the season ended. Well I've heard several rumors about united replacing Erik Ten Hag and several names where mentioned for his replacement including Graham Potter, i doubt if replacing ETH with Potter would be possible cause that's like moving from grace to grass and I don't think the Glaziers would want to make such terrible mistake, i think if they're to replace ETH it would be with a more quality manager with Same or better experience than him, not some Potter. Those people that are saying ETH out and that he's not a good coach have forget so soon how he helped them win a trophy and even qualified for UCL and participated in the FA Cup finals, I bet most of them didn't even watch him coach at Ajax and that he won several titles with them and had a good UCL record with a team made up of young and vibrant players of which some have now become top players and are in big teams, Erik Ten Hag is a good coach, all he needs is more time and resources, coupled with the right players at different depths of the squad to get them doing better again like they did the previous season, well they're currently in the 6th position which is not actually bad what they need is to work together as a team, to do better and move up in the standings. We will once again conclude that Ten Hag cannot be entirely blamed for Man United decline in performance this season, and the current rumors replacing his position as manager are just a figment of the imagination. However, I am a little hesitant to say that they can finish in the top four of the standings this season and will play again in the UCL next season. it is not without reason that we have seen, the consistency shown by the four clubs currently in the UCL zone. To overtake Aston Villa, I think even if not immediately, at least Tottenham will help indirectly in Week 13 by beating Aston Villa. At the same time United must succeed in winning the match over Everton, if this is realized then their points gap will only be 1 point. Furthermore, Unai Emery squad will lose points when they face City and Arsenal in december. |

The series of injuries players pick up during the international break is something that needs to be looked into at some point. It disrupts the club's season and the players' club needs to take care of the medical expense adding to the cost of running the team.
Injuries are random and can happen at anytime, even during training, but should not happen so commonly within the space of 1-2 weeks with rigid regularity. There should maybe be more synergy between the medical staffs of national and club teams.
- Jay -
Not a few clubs are reluctant to release their players to strengthen their respective countries, the main reason is injuries when they return. As far as I remember, if I'm not mistaken, UEFA will provide compensation to clubs if a player is injured while playing for their country national team, this aims to compensate the club for their losses. For example, Neymar injury while defending Brazil in a World Cup qualifying match, FIFA will provide compensation to the Al Hilal club. Besides, of course no one can predict when an injury will occur, players and everyone will try their best to avoid such an unlucky day. |

When it comes to Leverkusen I believe in them not only in the Bundesliga but also here. Xabi Alonso's system is working smoothly in every important competition they play. There is no reason for Leverkusen not to take the Europa League as serious as the Bundesliga also. Because they aren't a regular in the Champions League recently. Leverkusen must be aiming to win one of these competitions this season for sure. Because all this effort can't be for anything else. They must be aware of their potential at the moment. They have really challenging opponents on this road in both competitions though. But as long as they keep up this level they are still going to be one of the top contenders in both of them.  Overall we certainly understand very well how Laverkusen performance has improved this season and last season under the control of Xabi Alonso, but management must be prepared for other realities and must open their eyes wide in the january transfer window. Many european clubs want to sign their top players, so I think Xabi will have to take a stand to convince them to stay. It would be better if Laverkusen management supported Xabi financially to further increase the depth of the current squad, because the competition in the second half of the season will be more difficult and requires balance in every line. Their current consistency can be created because Xabi has a complete squad without losing important players for a long period of time due to injury, I think these two things should really be of concern to them at this time. If it can continue to be stable then the championship trophy will automatically approach itself, Xabi just needs to carry out the appropriate strategy as of now. Liverpool and Roma are two teams that need to be watched carefully, the rest we don't know who will come here from the UCL group phase because there are still two matches left. |

Bayern Munich has plans of signing more players into the squad during January Transfer Window so they can compete with whatever challenges they face until the end of the Bundesliga League Competition. Bayern Munich having won the league more than a decade now makes it completely boring, it's okay to see that they are unstoppable. I'm hoping and making wishes that they make the league different and difficult for Bayern Munich. Bayern Leverkusen are my hot favorites for the league right behind Bayern Munich. Borrussia Dortmund are purely casino gamblers. They bottled the league and failed to do whatever they had to do to make sure they end up winning. I think Bayern Munich only needs to improve the abilities that exist now, they don't need more players, so far Bayern Munich has a very good team and is fairly solid, only if there is an injury in the main player, sometimes Bayern Munich has difficulty getting the right peng. to be able to play as usual. I don't think you are just a person who feels bored with the Bundes League because Bayern Munich is a subscription to the winner of the league, but if you pay attention to every match in the Bundes League, the competition is much better, and I also see there is no comparison of the power that is far between Bayern Munich and competitors in the Bundes League. Some squads that have recently increased not only Bayern Leverkusen, but Stuttgart also experienced good improvement since the beginning of the season. Bayern Munchen dominance in the Bundesliga was often shaken at the start of the season, but in the end they always managed to retain the trophy. Leverkusen, VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund are three teams that are predicted to be able to compete with Bayern, but I have more confidence in Xabi to challenge the defending champion directly. Everyone is saying and feeling the same thing about the Bundesliga bored. We can only hope for a change this season. Dortmund is still stuck in their old ways, always busy recruiting promising young players and then selling them on the transfer market, even though they almost managed to do it last season. After the international break, we will know whether the teams mentioned above can be consistent. I hope Leverkusen can maintain its performance through the first half of the season. In contrast Union Berlin is the most disappointing club this season, even though they play in the Champions League. |

By experiencing consecutive defeats in the last 2 matches, the mentality of the Tottenham team will definitely decline, especially since they lost the top of the standings. Aston Villa is a very strong team this season so I think it is possible that they can beat or hold Tottenham to a draw. In this match, the Tottenham team's mentality was really tested, if they fail to recover then it is certain that they are not ready to compete fiercely at the top of the standings in the race for the title. ~ It’s hard to say for sure because for really good teams, failure acts as an additional motivator. Aston Villa are consistently good (for their status) and for example last year they finished 7th while Tottenham 8th. In the upcoming game, Tottenham have the status of favorites, but their advantage is tiny and can only be attributed to the fact that Tottenham is playing at home: 2.32 - 3.80 - 2.82 I think Tottenham are still on track, despite suffering two consecutive defeats, first to Chelsea and second to Wolves. I am quite surprised by Wolves performance when they meet big teams, luck is always on their side. If you look closely, Ange squad is going through a hurricane of injuries at the moment, I think this will affect the course of the game. Aston Villa are indeed tough this season, it has been proven that they are able to secure 25 points and are one level below Spurs at the moment. However, I am inclined that Ange and her squad will get the perfect points in this match, especially playing in front of their own supporters. Son and colleagues will pay for their home defeat to the Blues yesterday, and want their place back at the top of the standings. |

I prefer Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to advance to the final if they don't meet in the knock-out round because it will be a big match that is quite evenly matched. Man City is still the favorite to advance to the semifinals but I am not so sure they can reach the final with their performance in several previous match results in the domestic league. The ideal semi-final composition could feature four strong teams, namely Man City, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, everyone hopes that this scenario can work so that the Champions League semifinals will be more interesting and competitive. The strength of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich has far more potential this season to advance to the final round compared to Man City because these two teams have almost even quality players in all positions. If you look at the goals conceded in the domestic league, these two teams are still quite stable so the defense also looks very strong in supporting them to advance to the semifinals and finals this season in the Champions League. I'd even pick Real Madrid and Manchester City over Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich have no much quality in midfied, if they take that performance used in the Champions League group stage and Bundesliga against some certain clubs, then I can assure you that they'll lose. They have a good defense, winger's and attackers but not a strong and creative midfielder's. They still remain top favorites alongside, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. I'm listing Inter Milan because, they got to qualify and went on to reach the Champions League finals last season. They played well defended well with all they've got. It was just a superb finishing from Rodri that decided the how the game ended. Talking about this season Champions League final is still too early, but there no harm in speculating about what might happen. Inter Milan, who were runners-up last season, are certainly one of the strong candidates to return to the final. However, I think Inter is below other favorite teams such as Manchester City, Bayern Munchen and Real Madrid. All of these teams have their own strengths and weaknesses, so if they face each other the match will definitely be exciting. Player injuries are indeed one of the factors that can influence a team journey in the Champions League. This cannot be predicted, so favorite teams must be ready to face it. Apart from that, the group phase is still not completely finished. The four favorite teams have already qualified for the round of 16, but there are still two more matches that will determine their position in the final standings. This is the time for the reserve players to get a chance to play. This can be a rotation option for coaches, as well as an opportunity for reserve players to hone their skills when in big matches. |

The performance of the Sweden national football squad were quite horrible as they have lost a lot of games in major tournament. They had somehow only managed to win most of their previous games in friendly matches against other teams, I think playing against Azerbaijan today might be a good chance for Sweden players to regain some confidence as it should not be a tough task for Sweden to claim a victory against Azerbaijan at the end of the match.
Referring to the depth of the squad they have, Sweden should be able to secure 3 points even though they can no longer catch up with Austria in second place in Group F. In the first leg, Sweden managed to achieve a promising victory over Azerbaijan with a score of 5-0, although this time Sweden will act as the visiting team but they are still more favourites. I predict the final score will be 2-0 for Sweden to win. The Swedish national team will have difficulty qualifying for the next stage unless they get blessings through the play-off route, this also really depends on the team performance in the 2023/2024 UEFA Nations League. I also don't fully understand how this Play Off path scenario model works, but what is clear is that Sweden steps are relatively slim to go to Germany at Euro 2024. |

2023/24 La Liga season has been quite an entertainment so far. Girona is leading the league race for this season up until now. but, will Girona end the year on top? After 13 matches, Girona is 2 points ahead at the top, with Real Madrid and Barcelona close behind. Barcelona, aiming to defend their title, unfortunately hasn't had the best performances this season. while, Atletico and Real Madrid, their closest challengers, have been pretty convincing so far. Girona is having their best season yet, but some tough games are coming up for this season dark horse. Can they go all the way against the big boys? Exciting times ahead in La Liga!
The fact that Girona is number one in the points table behind the likes of Real Madrid Barcelona and Atlético Madrid really surprised me a lot. Real Madrid or Barcelona are the favorites for every season and this season is no exception but the team that we never thought we would see at the top of the points table is now at the top of the points table. Girona is number one in the points table but there is not much difference between this team with Barcelona and Real Madrid so if Real Madrid and Barcelona do well in the next matches they can go to the top of the points table again. Zero will not be consistent as we have already said but till now this team is performing consistently then at what point this team will lose its consistency is a big question now. For the time being, Girona has been celebrating their ranking in the La Liga standings like champions, which makes sense because they are ahead of the three favorite clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, even though they are only 2 points apart. It is a great fortune to have the opportunity to lead the points table, other clubs in La Liga are very jealous of their performance and luck. However, there are still big doubts about Girona being able to win the trophy at the end of the season, because when they face the three favorite clubs they will lose points, I'm pretty sure of that. Girona needs a miracle to continue to be consistent and create a points gap in the future, Madrid have already beaten them with a score of 3-0. This proves that they will have difficulty facing elite La Liga clubs, but it also does not rule out the possibility that Girona could become like the Leicester club in the EPL which won the trophy in the 2015-2016 season. |

It will certainly be a super big game and definitely worth watching, or at least I hope it is that way. Obviously I think Inter are the favorites in this match, but you can never tell. At these levels anything can happen and a single butterfly can change the fate of the game.
This is the time for Massimiliano Allegri to boost the performance of his team and he's ready to take on Inter Milan in next game. Simeone Inzaghi is not here to play but to win major trophies for Nerazzurri this season, he's competent enough and go for what he wants, and now I can say he has eyes on the scudetto and the UEFA Champions League trophy this season, and there's basically no going back. Watching Inter Milan performance in previous games, they don't seem to be team that are willing to lose a point yet, rather they exhibits consistent spectacular performance and are at the verge of giving good gaps towards Juventus. I think Juventus will be closer to victory with Allegri. They will try to win and leave Inter behind in the race. This match will be the biggest chance for Juventus. They will try to gain the biggest advantage for their Scudetto dreams by beating Inter. This match will definitely be the most important match of that week. I'm looking forward to the result. Juventus and Inter Milan will face each other in Serie A week 13. The two teams are currently competing at the top of the standings, Inter is in first place with 31 points, Juventus is in second place with 29 points. This match will be a proving ground for both teams, who is more worthy to challenge for the Scudetto title this season from the hands of Napoli. Juventus has the advantage of playing at home, but Inter will certainly not remain silent. Both teams have almost equal strength, although I understand that Inzaghi squad is slightly better, it is clear that this match is predicted to be fierce. In third place in the standings, Milan will also face a match that is no less important, namely against Fiorentina. Milan is currently in third place with 23 points, Milan wants to secure their position in the Champions League zone, while Fiorentina wants to catch up and get closer to the top four in the standings. This match is predicted to be interesting, Pioli squad will find it difficult to win this match, if they are not able to overcome Fiorentina playing style. On the other hand, Salernitana is currently the only club in Serie A that has never won. They were only able to collect 5 points from the 11 matches they played. Salernitana will find it difficult to get out of the degradation zone if they don't win soon. |
