Well, even now it's still too early to decide on the championship but for the mid-season and the end of the season too I don't think there will be much change here as the only possible additions are Dortmund and Leipzig which every year they are always in the Champions League zone and join the competition. Last season there were a few other clubs that could have been in the mix but for now dark horse clubs like Freiburg and Union are still underperforming so maybe they will be excluded now. For VFB they had a great start to the season and we saw that they improved a lot this season but in the last few games we saw how they started to have problems so I would also rule them out. It definitely too early to decide the champion, so many things have changed in this season just as if they substituted each other, take a look at union Berlin that finished last season in fourth position are now in last position when match is still in 11 game while VfB Stuttgart that were battling not to relegate are now sitting comfortably in third point living behind second runner-up of last season with two points interval and Leipzig in the fourth position have one point in between, VfB Stuttgart performance this season show how serious the want to make it to champion league next season. It may not be right to compare last year with this year because the teams have changed a lot. Transfers were made, new coaches arrived. Changes have been made in all teams and the example of Union Berlin shows us this. Last year's performance and this year's performance may be very different. While Bayern maintains its second place, Leverkusen maintains the leadership with Xabi. This year is going out of the ordinary. I think so too, this season Bundesliga is running outside the ordinary because of the emergence of a new axis of strength namely Laverkusen. Dortmund habit of being a strong competitor to Munchen, but until the 11th week, Xabi Alonso squad replaced their role in challenging for the championship trophy. Dormund seemed to be tired after trying for a decade but always failing. Ups and downs in performance cannot be avoided, I think there are many factors behind the decline in a team performance. Union Berlin is indeed a perfect example of this, they surprised everyone by qualifying for the UCL last season, but have now failed miserably in both competitions. I agree that at the moment it is too early to guess which club will win the trophy at the end of the season, many things will happen in the remainder of the season. Xabi with Laverkusen was phenomenal, but Munchen consistency for a decade is not an easy thing to break. |

Winning by any score is definitely very important for Lyon because they have never won since the start of the season and they only felt it in Week 12. Another advantage in this match was that Rennes only played with 10 people after one of their players received a red card at the start of the match.
This made Lyon even more favored to win and O'brien scored Lyon's only winning goal in the second half. With this victory, Lyon has collected 7 points and they still need 6 more points to get out of the relegation zone and that is another challenge they have to overcome.
Lyon's journey to get out of the relegation zone will take a very long time, that's because based on their own performance which is still erratic and even tends to be bad, as evidenced by the 1 victory they managed to get that had to wait until week 12. Now that hope arises after they managed to book their first victory, but they must still do hard work to make them better. One more thing, this first victory they achieved was inseparable from their numerical advantage after Rennes only played with 10 people even from the 5th minute. Believe it or not, I still have faith that Lyon will soon strengthen their performance to avoid the relegation zone despite going through a long period of time, but remember, Lyon is one of the clubs that is quite good in League 1 and we will see a pretty good performance after getting a few wins or getting players. just from the transfer market later. If you look at Lyon journey in the last decade, Lyon is one of the clubs that consistently finishes in the top four of the standings when the season ends. Maybe this season is the worst season for Lyon, because they are no longer fighting to top the standings, but are fighting to get out of the degradation zone. In the previous three seasons, signs of Lyon downfall were visible and peaked this season. I also believe that Lyon will be able to get out of the degradation zone in the future, and will target the middle of the standings as the end of their journey this season. Of course, this must be realized by being active in the transfer window next January, with several additions that will boost their performance instantly. I don't know for sure whether Lyon is in debt, so they are experiencing a financial crisis to build a squad capable of competing in the UCL zone. In the past, many famous players were part of this club, such as Benzema, who later became a legend with Madrid. |

Maybe, because I believe Xabi Alonso has the potential to succeed with Real Madrid if it is true that next season moves there, with the experience that has been achieved during his time as a player Xabi Alonso has quite a long experience with the titles he won in the past maybe this dominance can prove that he is indeed worthy even though he is still young for a coach, but it does not deny it if a young coach can shine because of his hard work. However I like Xabi Alonso when handling Leverkusen now, this has beaten Bayern Munich's current position, maybe there is no other choice for Real Madrid except to recruit as a replacement for Ancelotti. The emotional connection between Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid in my opinion will help him to be able to implement a very good strategy for his former club while still an active player. Maybe it's a different comparison, but I see Xavi with Barcelona and maybe Xabi will be able to follow in Xavi's footsteps because he is also a former player of the club he is currently coaching. Although it could be a different situation in the end, I also agree with what he is doing with Leverkusen at the moment. I appreciate his hard work, because he came at a time when Leverkusen were also in a bad situation at the time. Thanks to the cool hands of Xabi Alonso, Laverkusen directly challenged defending Bundesliga champion Bayern Munchen this season by topping the standings without a single defeat. Similar to their achievements in the European League competition, they swept four group stage matches with wins and recorded perfect points. Referring to Laverkusen current performance, with a squad depth very different from than Munchen and Madrid, but Xabi was able to transform it into a club that consistently wins. I think if Perez appoints Ancelotti replacement, then Xabi is the right person to succeed the Italian coach. Success will accompany Xabi if this rumor comes true, because we have seen how he has performed so far with Laverkusen. Coupled with his emotional connection to the club, I think Xabi will be able to follow in Zidane footsteps. For now everyone will wait to see how Laverkusen's journey ends under Xabi command first. |

The 13th match, in my opinion, is quite an interesting match to watch for the top clubs, Manchester City vs Liverpool, I think this match will end in a draw because both teams were in pretty good performance at the end of the previous match and the two teams below them Brentford vs Arsenal, if Arsenal can get full points, of course they will move up to first place in the standings with 30 points, Manchester City 29 and Tottenham vs Aston Villa, if Suprs can also get the winning points they will move up to 3rd place in the standings with the same points as City Just a difference in goal difference and Arsenal fell into 4th position.
Liverpool since last season are not too good and they lose away to Manchester City, but managed to win Manchester City 1-0 at Anfield even as they are not in good form. Therefore, this match will be played at Etihad stadium, Manchester City have hope of winning but the hope is not guarantee because Liverpool is back in form this season and will likely take a point in the match to maintain their position. Arsenal on the other hand will do everything to win Brentford because they have been winning them in almost all their last four match, even though Brentford is not a small team to underrate, they are not in good form this season to stop Arsenal from winning especially as Arsenal will be hoping to climb the top of the Premier League table if Liverpool Vs Manchester City ended in a draw. That right, Arsenal and Tottenham will take advantage if Liverpool and Manchester City end in a draw. Pep Guardiola squad ambition is to maintain the top of the standings and will try hard not to lose points, especially as they will play in front of their own supporters at the Etihad, while Klopp squad will try to lead the standings even though they are overshadowed by Arsenal. However, this match is still very long, to be precise, it will be held after the international break. We hope that both teams have a complete squad with no injured players. This is truly a big match that will determine the strength of the two teams this season in the hunt for trophies. I think this match is very difficult to predict, because Man City and Liverpool have almost the same performance, and are only one point apart in the current standings. Arsenal will face a relatively easy opponent, namely Brentford, as well as Tottenham who will face Aston Villa, but Aston is much better than Brentford. |

Napoli has really gone from bad to worse from the draw to Union Berlin and loss to Empoli, the President is really upset about the team’s result and that’s why he’s made some contacts for changes in Head Coach, Inter Milan and Juventus are 2 teams that are top and are not going down on their form and going down from Champions of the league to struggling top 4 spot in the league is things really going down the drain for Napoli. Rudi has a lot to learn to build his coaching experience and I think he should take some timeout and learn on some tactics, I believe Rudi will be a very good manager in the nearest future but for now, he’s taking Napoli down the drain and it’s not allowed for this kind of club, the Champions of the league, replacement will be made and it’s up to Tudor to bring this coach back up to nice form. Spalletti resignation for a short break which turned out to be his choice to coach the Italian national team, the move of sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli to Juventus, and the release of Kim Min Jae to Bayern Munchen were milestones in Napoli decline in defending the Scudetto this season. The replacement of new people in the three positions above did not go according to expectations, although I see that Napoli are not too bad either. Moreover currently their mainstay striker Osimhen is suffering from injury, automatically their performance can be said to be a little unstable. I don't think changing coaches is a guarantee that Napoli will continue to be consistent, Rudi Garcia has also not failed miserably in managing Napoli. |

This season, Juventus can really be called an epic comeback after they really slumped last season due to the various bad conditions they faced. Allegri has really proven his words so far that Juventus will really optimize and focus on Serie A this season and do their best. So far, they have really done exactly evry well. And the match ahead, this will indeed be a big and important match for Juventus vs Inter. Maybe Juventus has an advantage because they will be playing at home, but of course this will also certainly place its own burden. Meanwhile, Inter, so far, has had quite consistent and good performance. For me, this is still difficult to predict. I do support Inter more, but that doesn't mean Juventus doesn't have a chance, they also have it and they are definitely very motivated to win.
On the other hand, the results of the match will really influence the position in the standings, whether Juventus will be able to overtake Inter or remain in the same position.
I tend to think that the match between Juventus and Inter Milan will end in a draw, minwile I understand that Inter performance and statistics are better than Juventus. The advantage of Allegri squad lies in two things, playing at home and the lack of match schedules, which is quite reasonable, I think. Meanwhile, Inter must prepare themselves to face three tough matches, Juventus, Benfica and Napoli in 8 days. However, this is just a personal assumption, it could be that Inter will easily secure full points, if Juventus fails to take advantage of the opportunities they have. We know that Juventus this season will only focus on the domestic league, due to the sanctions they have received. The moment they have been waiting for to top the standings has finally arrived, but with the condition that they must be able to beat Inter. Among the 10 matches in Week 13, apart from the match to determine the top of the standings between Juve vs Inter, the match between Milan and Fiorentina is also no less interesting. |

Until now especially 3 teams have really impressed me with their statistics: Slavia Prague, Liverpool and Leverkusen. Maybe you will say "What's up with Slavia Prague?"  But they are doing really good in Group G now. 10 goals scored 2 goals conceded in a group with Roma. They even played both games against Roma already and they are the leader with 9 points. As for Leverkusen and Liverpool they are already doing really great. I see both of them as the biggest title contenders. Slavia Prague for a title challenge? I wouldn't expect it at all of course. These all are having impressive run in early games but after four matches we have only Bayer Leverkusen which is having 12 points and guaranteed top spot into their group even few others are also having better performance and chances for the leading but last loses are creating some delay into their leads chances in group stages matches. We have surprises into few matches, but many teams are doing good, and we have no chance for any big upset into next few games as well but who is going through into last eight it's never been easy as in February we will have teams from the Champions League will also join them and this will bring good changes into this league for the final result. I think Laverkusen will secure perfect points in this group phase, and the remaining two matches in the future are likely to be wiped out with a win. I thought Liverpool would be unbeatable before, but unexpectedly they lost points on matchday 4 against Toulouse, but for me Klopp squad still deserves to be the favorite. On the other hand, there are two unbeaten clubs apart from Laverkusen, Marsielle and Atalanta, but both clubs failed to pick up perfect points. Slavia Praha also cannot be underestimated, Mourinho squad must admit that their strengths are quite balanced after beating each other. That's right when teams from the Champions League join the competition again, the competition will automatically become more intense. For now we only see a few teams that are favorites, in the future it will clearly be very different when the competition enters the quarter-finals and semifinals. |

Although only their last two games have looked promising but honestly I will not fully believe that Chelsea will really change for the better, but on the other hand yes maybe the success in the last two games is enough to indicate that there are signs of change from Pochettino's squad, although I will first fully believe but at least this is a good sign. Last season was indeed as we saw that they really slumped by only being able to finish 12th in the standings, but let's just say that it was their time of change that we some good signs have begun to be quite visible.
Yes that's right, that indeed now what most Blues fans hope is that they expect Chelsea to be able to maintain their performance like this, they hope that there is consistency created for the next few games, although it might be quite hard to expect to win the title or even enter the top five of the standings because the season time is not long anymore, for this season yes maybe I won't have too much hope for them, but for next season I don't think there is any reason for them to slump again, after all it's time for them to restore the prestige of the club in the Premier League.
I agree with you that this season is really difficult for Chelsea to finish in the top four of the standings, so they can qualify for the Champions League next season. The most reasonable target for Pochettino squad is to finish in the Europa League zone, because we know these two matches are promising but we cannot fully believe that this is a turning point in their performance. On the other hand, I am quite sure that this season The Blues can finish in a more decent ranking than last season, I can't imagine their spending in the transfer market being so large if they fail to improve their performance so that they can finish in a better ranking. However, Pochettino efforts should be appreciated, perhaps his tactical qualities are now better than Ten Hag. Although we will never know in the future the Blues might slump again when faced with a mediocre club. |

Tottenham are starting to struggle again. they had improved but losing to Chelsea and Wolves was not a good result for Tottenham.
Tottenham must reduce costly mistakes. That's because now MU is getting a few points. Now the one experiencing a decline is Newcastle, who has dropped to 7th place in the standings.
It looks like this season will still be dominated by Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Actually if we look at Tottenham, it is on a par with the 3 clubs you mentioned, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Ange squad has only lost twice to their opponents so far, just like Pep Guardiola squad has lost twice in the EPL, one of which was also against Wolves. Currently the difference in points is quite thin, so it is very possible that in the coming weeks the standings will continue to change. Ange really understands that they have to be consistent to get points, if they want to have Favorite team status, but their luck seems to have run out in their previous two matches. It could be that they will have the opportunity to reclaim the standings after the international break, because Man City will face Liverpool. Of course this is an advantage for Tottenham, if the two clubs draw. |

Both Chelsea and Man United are big teams, but both of them are not at their best at the moment. So I think if Victor Osimhen prefers to move to Chelsea, it's still not a more promising option than a move to Man United because if we look at the position of the two teams, Man United is still better than Chelsea. Apart from that, Man United also still has progress on the European stage. If only they fail in the Champions League, Man United still has a chance in the Europa League. It's not the most prestigious league but it's still better than Chelsea, which doesn't compete on the European stage. I can't agree with this. Chelsea was able performing at their best once the club was facing the strong club. The exact problem with this club is unclear to me, however, it is widely acknowledged that Chelsea has struggled with inconsistency when facing weaker opponents who employ a defensive tactic called the low block. It seems like that if chelsea is always able playing as good as clubs at the top position as long as it was not using low block. The different thing when chelsea was facing even a garbage club that used low block. The team became clueless as there was no player who can attacking through breaking the barricade being made by its opponent. The main problem of chelsea is low block. This strategy is always able beating pochettino's strategy. Manchester united is always playing so weak when it was getting a strong opponent. Manchester united was able getting good result against small club but not for big club. These clubs are so strange. That's true, maybe it's not just Chelsea who have difficulty if they find their opponents using this type of strategy. It could be said that the Blues were indeed overwhelmed by the low block style of play, Pochettino squad was only lucky through corner kicks and other violations. On the other hand, Chelsea squad this season is dominated by young players who still need experience and adaptation, so with an almost all-new squad they look very unstable. For me, Man United is slightly better than Chelsea, we can see their second ranking on the current standings. However, I agree with you, in reality the Ten Hag squad was only able to win over teams that were considered mediocre. The Champoins League zone or the top four of the standings will continue to be occupied by the same teams as now, I think Chelsa will have greater difficulties and challenges than United to finish there. The season is still very long, and considering anything can happen, who knows in the second half of the season their performance will improve. |

Its ok with the data collect by Opta analitycs, but i think Manchester United is ended up going to the round of 16, they only need to win on Istanbul and take a draw in Old trafford against a qualified Bayern, is complicated yes, b ut i can see their having luck and going into 16 round.
According to calculations, it is true that Ten Hag squad must win over Galatasaray in the second leg, and in any case must be able to hold Bayern to a draw at Old Trafford. But we have seen how United lost at Old Trafford in the first leg against Galatasaray and also lost to Bayern, I realize that this is a very decisive match for the club and for the coach. United fate actually really depends on Bayern and in their own hands, because if there is a surprise in the match between Bayern and Copenhagen then United fate will be very unfortunate even if they can beat Galatasaray. In short, the fate of the Ten Hag squad really depends on the other teams in Group A. I want the Red Devils to advance to the last 16, but with their current performance and statistics it seems difficult to achieve this. Seeing their match against Luton, Maguire and his friends were only able to win narrowly, this is what I mean they seem to be having difficulties. |

Recently we saw much news about Xabi Alonso moving to Real Madrid because of the good performance he had in the Bundesliga.
The performance of this young coach was really surprising and he totally changed everything in his team also Ancelotti is close to ending his contract with Real Madrid
But if Xabi Alonso wants to join Real Madrid, they have to pay between 15 to 18 million euros for him. This is just a rumor, there is no confirmation or official agreement that confirms this rumor. This news is the same as the rumors circulating recently, Zidane is also rumored to be replacing Ten Hag at Manchester United. Maybe because Alonso is active as a coach and has succeeded in improving Bayer Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga and Europa League, Real Madrid is interested in making him Ancelotti's successor. If we refer to his contract, Xabi Alonso still has a contract duration until June 2026, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the opportunity to move first. But I still believe he will stay longer with Laverkusen as he hones his managerial skills with the Bundesliga team. Although on the other hand, his coaching talent has started to emerge since last season, coupled with Laverkusen consistency in their campaign this season. Ancelotti will indeed leave Madrid at the end of the season, to be precise in 2024 and as we know, the Italian coach will be the tactician for the Brazilian National Team. So automatically Madrid management or more precisely Perez must start looking for a new successor, but there has been no official confirmation that we can use as an official reference so far. I think this is just news from the media, but for Xabi qualities, I'm sure he is very suitable to lead Los Blancos in the future. Likewise, Zidane is predicted to replace Ten Hag at Man United, but so far Ten Hag is still believed to be United manager. |

For the first time, Pep Guardiola had a weird record in the Premier League since he is working there as a coach.
Pep has been also admitting it on his interview said that if chelsea was one of biggest club in the EPL. He was not feeling surprised to see chelsea played so crazily against manchester city. This is the truth. I don't know why the fans from other clubs keep being denial. Chelsea is always able performing as good as teams who are performing so perfect this season like arsenal and city. I think that the match against manchester united will be also very interesting match to be watched. Manchester City had a 4-4 draw against Chelsea and Chelsea scored four goals against Guadiola's team that's the first time for this coach to have this experience and this epic performance from Chelsea is the reason for it.
Unpredictable result and that's it. I could never imagine if chelsea would be playing so perfect against it. Guardiola was also regreeting the decision to sell some players especially for palmer. This guy is cooking since he was coming to the chelsea. Being even longer in chelsea has made him able to build his performance far better. I never expect palmer was able playing so perfect with only 70 days stay in chelsea. The improvement in performance surprised everyone and I think many people lost their bets on this match, if you look at the course of the match, Pochettino squad looked like they had never been defeated before against City yesterday. I think what was shown yesterday was the prestige between each other and big clubs, because after all Chelsea is still an elite EPL club. Pep commented on many things after the match, but for me the most interesting thing was when Pep said that the Blues were still better than Arsenal (I read it in the local media). On the other hand Palmer should be called a hero for Pochettino squad, I think City management made a mistake by releasing Palmer directly to a rival club. However, this is not over yet, there are still many important matches ahead, what is clear is that Chelsea is still outside their target so far, and City is still leading the top of the standings with 28 points. |

There are lots of important games waiting for Leverkusen after the small break. Every time we have these breaks I hope that it doesn't do any harm to a team like Leverkusen as they are in such a great condition. They are playing against Dortmund and Stuttgart before the winter break and I hope they don't fail in those games. I wouldn't mind if it's Dortmund or Stuttgart to compete with Bayern, but from all those teams Leverkusen is really by far looking to be the strongest and most consistent. Dortmund is weird. They get celebrated one week just to play bullshit the next week.
Of course Xabi will use the international break as best as possible to analyze their future matches and fix the shortcomings in his squad. I hope they will continue to provide competition against Bayern Munchen this season, because we know Dortmund is unlikely to be expected to do so. Dortmund and VfB are the real tests for Laverkusen after most importantly Bayern, but we have seen that Xabi squad was able to hold Munchen to a draw at the Allianz Arena previously, so I think Laverkusen will be able to overcome both of them later. In the end Dortmund had to give up third place in the Bundesliga standings for VfB, their performance was very far from last season. I really didn't think that they would have to lose to VfB before, and on the other hand Tuchel squad must be fully alert if they don't want to lose their dominance this season. |

really, how can you lose to Lecce, a team like Milan
they must be really demotivated and with low morale, it's very sad to see the team like this
then especially I lost the bet, I'm doubly sad (or better a little angry)
AC Milan didn't get a lose against Lecce, they got a draw result. I think it is because AC Milan has a poor defense lately. So, the opponent was easier to score goals. AC Milan midfielders also played inconsistently, they couldn't create many chances for shot opportunities. AC Milan also just rely on Giroud in the front line, meanwhile Giroud is no longer in prime age. It makes AC Milan productivity in scoring is getting smaller this season. Agree, AC Milan morale looks decreasing. I don't know what's happening with them. I assume they have a problem with their coach, the tactics probably make them hard to show their best form. I hope AC Milan coach will evaluate his approach to manage the team. There should be a change if he wants improve the morale or the confidence of AC Milan players Be patient, mate. I suggest you don't bet a big amount of money for AC Milan match. They are difficult to predict now, they are very inconsistent. Yes, that's right, for now it's better to avoid matches involving Milan, because their performance is very difficult to predict. When they won over PSG, everyone really believed that when they faced Lecce they could win easily, it turned out they had already won but failed to defend it, really disappointed with their defense. I agree with you, Pioli must change his tactics in the future and must make competition within his squad more lively, aiming to motivate players to unleash their best potential. I noticed Pioli didn't do much, and admittedly he looked a little stiff about it. |

And for Brighton, this is a big opportunity for them to focus well on their the European league because the European league is one of the opportunities for them to win trophies this season. In the domestic league, of course Brighton has no chance of winning the title because other team are stronger than them, so the European league is a place where they have to fight as best as possible this season.
The competition at the Europa this season is very tough as compared to other seasons, because there are many big team in their good form participating in the Europa this season, and others who are playing in other leagues aswell. They will further channel their energy into getting the best they can from the Europa, thereby increasing the competition in the Europa then it is now, I think after the group stage, the competition may get even though and Brighton may not have that form to stand the pressure that may come with it, so I'm no thinking they stand a chance to win the title as against other bigger team there fighting to really get the title. Regarding Brighton, I think that's the case, their chances of winning a trophy are greater here than in the EPL. However, I still see that Liverpool, Laverkusen and AS Roma are stronger than Brighton, because we of course know that this is their first season in the Europa League so it will be very difficult to say much, what is needed is experience and mentality. Not to mention that the competition will be even fiercer when the teams from the UCL will return here, and will really test the strength of the previously favorite clubs. Dezerbi must add strength in the January transfer window, if they want to build a more competitive squad to compete in any competition, even though they are currently quite good. |

Totenham is totenham. We will never ever see totenham to be manchester city. The mentality is way different compared with totenham at this moment.
Son is playing so badly. It's very bad for totenham fans.
History can be made by people and by their efforts, hence Tottenham players can make history by themselves like Leicester City made history as a Premier League winner seasons ago. Tottenham even has better history and better player quality than Leicester City so they can repeat the success of Leicester City in this season. Their performance started to be worse last two weeks but the season is long and they can come back. They will not play in Champions League like Manchester City or Arsenal, Newcastle United and they can focus more on Premier League than those competitors. If Tottenham see great chance to win the league, they will surely focus 100% for Premier League but there are still some months before decisive months of this season. Tottenham will have to play well until January or February when the race for Premier League title becomes clearer amongst competitors and Manchester City likely will have to lose their concentration for Premier League due to Champions League knock outs. That's true and we haven't forgotten how Leicester won the EPL trophy in the 2015-2016 season, their achievement truly silenced all the critics who predicted that it would be impossible for them to win the trophy at the end of the season. It is not impossible that Tottenham can repeat and follow in Leicester's footsteps, who knows, under Ange cool hands, that could be possible this season. Tottenham lack of competition schedule should be a blessing for them, because Man City, Arsenal, Man United and Newcastle have to divide their focus between two elite European competitions. I think Ange really understands this, and will not waste this opportunity. On the other hand, as we know, this season the EPL is short of two teams in the competition for the title, Chelsea and United, so this leaves little room for Tottenham to continue to improve their performance, and not only them, there are actually two other teams on the list. Arsenal and Liverpool. |

Rafael Leão the palayer of AC MIlan got injured while playing for his team in the Serie A against Lecce. He got injured in the game between Lecce and AC Milan just eight minutes after the start of the game and he couldn't continue the match. Now there is a chance for Leão to be absent in the game AC Milan is going to have against Dortmund.  Milan wasted opportunities to win and failed to defend well, the match was a draw, and the biggest loss was that Pioli lost Rafael Leao in that match. Losing Leao in Milan's main squad is absolutely like losing ¼ of their attack power, because after all he is the main part of Milan attack this season. Dortmund will be very comfortable when facing the Rossoneri without having full strength, even though I also know that the German club is fearless against its opponents. But this time it made things a little easier for their defense without Leao, so they were at an advantage. But on the other hand, I still hope that the injury is not serious, so that in the match between Dortmund versus Milan we will have a fierce game because both clubs are playing with intact squads. |

Theoretically, if Mbappe is so good (I think so), then with his arrival Chelsea will consistently be in the top 4 (in fact, they should be in the top 4 without Mbappe, but with less probability). Another thing is that Mbappe has already completed his exploits (playing at PSG was a definite sacrifice on his part) and now he needs guaranteed titles - like Kane, he must make the right choice. The problem is that no club can guarantee the Champions League title, but in Real Madrid it is still as comfortable as possible to try to achieve this. To tell you the truth, the possibility of Chelsea transferring Mbappe does not seem very realistic to me, compared to the possibility of Real Madrid. When Real Madrid adds him to their squad at the end of the year, I don't think there will be many teams in Europe that can beat them. Even the substitute players will consist of quality young people. I think Real Madrid will re-establish a squad similar to that great squad of years ago at the end of this year. I also think the same, because Madrid is the team he has wanted for a long time. Apart from money, I have no doubt that Chelsea will be able to finance Mbappe move from PSG, among all EPL clubs the Blues are known as the club that spends the most on players in the transfer window. However, in this case, I am still quite sure that Mbappe will not go to Stamford Bridge. It is very difficult for any club to beat Madrid in the transfer window, because the bargaining value that the Spanish club has is above other clubs, so it guarantees a trophy every season. Mbappe wants a competition that is more competitive than Ligue 1, there are four options here, EPL, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, and the most likely one here is two EPL or La Liga. Sooner or later he will leave and part ways with PSG. Currently his future is still shrouded in speculation, I choose to just keep quiet and watch. |

How many goals City will score against Chelsea?
My prediction is 4-0.
If Guardiola will win these 2 following games he will already have 1/2 title in his pocket.
I doubt Manchester City can score 4 goals at Stamford Bridge, because after all Chelsea is still an elite team in the EPL, prestige is everything here. If I predict City will be able to score 2 goals, considering that Pochettino has his squad in the best form, there are several players who are injured, 4 goals feels like a lot. On the other hand, Man City also cannot just underestimate the Blues because of the fact that they could lose their luck like in the match against Wolves, who would have thought that would happen. On paper Pep squad is superior, sometimes luck favors Pochettino. It is true that if Guardiola squad manages to beat their two opponents this time, their strength will continue to pocket half of the championship title. Because we know Chelsea and Liverpool have a better mentality than Arsenal and Tottenham. so if they manage to beat these two clubs, that's true. |
