Donny van de Beek finally reached a verbal agreement with Frankfurt but that was on loan until June 2024. I think it was the right decision for him to get regular minutes in another team and if he still stays at Manchester United then he will only be a warm-up reserve bench. Even though his status is only on loan, Donny van de Beek will definitely be happy about trying out a new challenge in the Bundesliga. The purchase clause is not mandatory, but if Frankfurt wants to trigger the clause then they must prepare funds of 15 million euros. Well, if Donny van de Beek can still prove his quality, Frankfurt will certainly not hesitate to buy his clause from Manchester United. Source: https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1735692305141514689If i am not mistaken Donny van de Beek was transfered from Ajax on 2020 but since that year he was unable to showing good performance and when Ten Hag arrived to Manchester United some fans hope Van De Beek can became an the key player for this team but in fact until this season Van De Beek performance have no significant progress and he even have to lost to compete with other players just like Amrabat or Casemiro for one place on Manchester United starting lineup and this season Van De Beek currently still got injured Last season Van De Beek was loaned to Everton and his performance at that team looks quite good because Van De Beek can save Everton to avoiding relegation zone and last summer he was rumoured moved to other teams but Van De Beek has decided to stay at Manchester United and this winter he will be loaned to Frankfurt i think this is good decision from Van De Beek because at this team he will got more minutes to play rather than staying at Manchester United |

Lecce vs Frosinone
Home team Lecce without the winning results in the last 12 matches in all competitions and Lecce has 4 consecutive draw in the last 4 matches and for Frosinone their performance is slightly better compared to Lecce because from 5 latest matches in Serie A Frosinone can able to gets 2 wins but Frosinone is one of the team with the poorest records for away matches because until 16 matches Frosinone wasn't able to gets the winning results from away matches
Lecce will lost Joan Gonzalez who got suspension because of card accumulation but besides him all of Lecce players will be available today and for Frosinone their main striker Matias Soule will be played since the beginning of match however as a host Lecce indeed is the favourite but i highly doubt they can able to overcomes Frosinone today because just like i said before this team wasn't able to managed their performance for each matches and Lecce also has a problem for forward lines because they only scores 17 from 16 matches and for the outcomes of this match i think there is possibility will ended to draw and the odds for draw is quite high @3.00

Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid
This is hard match for Atletico Madrid because this season Bilbao was quite strong during playing at their home ground and so far Bilbao has 8 home matches total and they can able to gets 5 wins and only lose once from Real Madrid so this impressive records makes Bilbao can able to occupy 5th place in league standings and for Atletico Madrid although they can able to occupy 3rd place under Real Madrid but Atletico Madrid have a problem with their consistency for away matches because 3 loses total which they got so far is comes from away matches
For squad update Gorka Guruzeta and Inaki Williams will be available today and so far these players is Bilbao key player for forward lines and total both of players has been scores 15 goals in Laliga and for Atletico Madrid Simeone still rely on Antoine Griezmann for forward position however although on the paper and based on meeting statistics Atletico Madrid has good records from Bilbao but i still believe Bilbao can able to resumes their positive results at their home ground this because Atletico Madrid has poor records for away matches and Bilbao status is slightly the favourite with odds @2.47

Newcastle vs Fulham
Newcastle should be carefull to Fulham because recently Fulham has been showing impressive performance as mediocre team Fulham goals records was quite fantastic that from 4 latest matches in Premier league Fulham has get 3 wins and lose once and they were scores 17 goals from those matches and based on the head to head statistics Newcastle has good records because from 5 recent meeting between them Newcastle can able to gets 4 wins
Just like i said before because Newcastle facing storm injured and this makes their performance were decline because in the last 3 matches in all competitions Newcastle failed to win so they immediately have to bounce back if want to compete with other big teams for top 4 position and this is hard match for Newcastle because Fulham is on fire and this team was showing fantastic progress recently
Anthony Gordon will be doubtful to play but if this player will not available but it doesn't matter because Newcastle has Callum Wilson or Alexander Isak who can be played as the striker and for Fulham Tim Ream still not available because got injured but Willian in the good fitnes and ready to play and the outcomes of this match is hard to predicted but i am start to thinking to bet for Newcastle because during playing at home Newcastle sometimes performing well and Newcastle win has odds @1.87

Casemiro is getting and that's what we know about him but this player is still talented and he had a good performance in Manchester United when he was playing for this team as the first squad. Also, I remember in any game they didn't use Casemiro Mancshter Uniyed has problems and that's a good reason to say Casemiro is an effective player for his team. There are definitely many teams that want to hire Casemiro like Saudis and PSG but I think Manchester United should keep Casemiro for a longer time even if he is getting old.  Talking about Casemiro he's going through a difficult time at Manchester United because this season he was got injured it make his performance was decline and until now he still attempt to recover from his injured but based on the news i have read recently PSG has been refused the rumour about they were linked to Casemiro this because Luis Enrique has been said PSG currently has several players who play the same position as Casemiro so PSG have no plan to bought new midfielder this January even Luis Enrique has been thinking to sell some of PSG midfielder players after winter transfer opened besides that Ten Hag also doesn't want Casemiro to leave this because Ten Hag still need him because admitted or not for holding midfielder so far only Casemiro who able to performing well everytime he was played so this rumour most likely will not going to happend |

Drawing round of 16 will be held this monday and there will be a two categorized that the teams who able to being an group champion will be into pot 1 and the teams who only finish at second place will be into pot 2 and here is the taams below based on the pot
Pot 1
Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Barcelona
Pot2
Copenhagen, PSV Eindhoven, Napoli, Inter Milan, Lazio, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), RB Leipzig, and FC Porto
With these categorized there are possibilities we will see the potention of big matches at round of 16 and because PSG only able to finish at second place then they have possibilities to met strong teams just like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid even so with Inter Milan that as the finalist of last season unfortunately they only can occupy second place under Sociedad and this make their current status as underdog and Inter Milan also has a potention to met strong teams just like Manchester City or Barcelona so this is very interesting to know

Lyon was able to collect 3 points today by beating Monaco ans so far this is their third winning this season and playing at Monaco home ground Lyon was playing under pressure but Lyon defensive lines were very discipline and they can managed their defense until the match ended and after several week always in the bottom of league standings finally Lyon can lifted up their position on 16th place and indeed as a caretaker Pierre Sage has been done well and now Lyon seems very optimistic they can able to avoiding relegation zone
Monaco has just gets their 4th loses this season and they were failed to overtake second place from Nice and i have to say probably Monaco will be out from the race with Nice and PSG this because Monaco performance was decline and from 7 latest matches Monaco only can able to gets 3 wins and although Monaco has change their manager but Adi Hütter was unable to bringing Monaco to playing consistent and they seems still make the same mistakes just like last season that Monaco was unable to managed their consistency

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham
The result match against Newcastle last week is really bosted Tottenham player mentally because finally they can able to bounce back from several losses indeed losing James Maddison makes Tottenham performance unstable and they lost plenty of points from their previous matches which make Tottenham position currently out from top 4 but the winning result from Newcastle has been indicated Tottenham will ready to beat Nottingham Forest today
For Nottingham Forest 3 wins from 16 matches is really poor records from them and so far Nottingham Forest have already to lose 8 times which makes their position currently at 16th place and they only have 5 difference points above from the team in the relegation zone but this is hard match for them and it's quite imppossible for them to collect 3 points from this match
About team condition Tottenham still facing the same problem that some of their players still hard struggle to get recover from the injured and for Nottingham Forest all of their players in the good fitness and ready to play and for betting options the bookmakers provided odds for Totttenham @1.68 and indeed this is not high odds but it's quite reasonable because Tottenham was more good from recent performance and squad quality compared to Nottingham Forest

Even though Liverpool use B-team players, it's not that bad, only the both wingers are really awful. Gordon and Doak almost don't give any contribution in the field, they have 69% ball possession and only shots four times.
Everyone were expecting Liverpool to win easily, but after Liverpool have show their lineup before the match, it makes people think St.Gilloise will win.
Klopp want to ensure all of their key players in the good fitness this weekend because they have important match against Manchester United so Klopp has decided to played 6 or more Liverpool reserved players because it is risky to playing all of their main players for this match especially Liverpool have already to qualified so lose or win from this match it won't change their final position at group standings because other teams cannot pursuing their points and although they lose today but Liverpool still able to finish at first place Unlike Leverkusen who able to gets 6 wins from group stages but Liverpool have to lose twice but i think it doesn't matter because 12 points from 6 matches makes them enough to qualified to round of 16 and became an group champion and besides Liverpool i think congratulation to Toulouse because although their performance on Ligue 1 was not really good but they can able finish at second place and qualified along with Liverpool and if i am not mistaken this is their first time to playing at European competition but they can finish at runner up place so this is good achievement from Toulouse |

Maybe Barcelona were already comfortable as they guaranteed finishing the group as the leader. However I still wouldn't have expected them to lose to Antwerp in the last game. Antwerp also had no goal to achieve left in the end. Barcelona should have played better and won this game. Xavi also stated how bad they were in this game.
They lost two games in this comfortable group so I'm curious about their performance in later rounds. If they don't get lucky with the draw I think they would be likely to get eliminated early. But at least there is some progress as they couldn't even get past the group stage in the recent seasons.
Antwerp always be lose in the last 5 matches in champion league and they even have to conceded 17 goals total even Barcelona in the first meeting can able to win with big scores against this team but for 6th matches unfortunately Barcelona seems doesn't considers the match against Antwerp is important match this because according to Barcelona starting lineup Xavi was played some of reserved players and he was rested some of Barcelona key players just like Joao Felix Apparently Xavi doesn't really care the outcomes of this match whether it win or lose and indeed although Barcelona have already to qualified to round of 16 but they should be more serious to facing this match because Antwerp is a weak team and Barcelona shouldn't be lose from them but Barcelona has important match on Laliga so Xavi want to ensure some of Barcelona players in the good fitness and after qualified from this competition he want to more focus to their domestic league especially after last week Barcelona lose from Girona Xavi want Barcelona will return to winning ways soon |

Roma this weekend will fight against Bologna and i think this is hard match for Roma because they probably will playing without some of their key players and apparently Dybala and Lukaku will not be available for this match because Dybala was return to get injured and for Lukaku he have to absense for this match because of suspension after last week he got a red card while Roma playing draw against Fiorentina so automatically only Andrea Belotti left for Roma forward lines which is can be played
Bologna was quite impressive at home because in the last 4 home matches in Serie A Bologna was unbeatable and they even can able to win all of those matches besides those records for head to head statistics Bologna was able to beat Roma while playing at home two times in a row so this proven Bologna has good chances to beat Roma and for Bologna squad Riccardo Orsolini stil got injured but their striker Joshua Zirkzee is on fire because in the last 4 matches he has scores 4 goals and according to the odds i can see Bologna is the favourite @2.42 and this is good odds to bet

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.
It's impossible if Girona doesn't want to be champion because currently they are in first place and won't let Barcelona or Real Madrid or any other team pass their position, if Girona doesn't want to be champion this season then their game should not be as good as you can see until they reach first place from the top of the standings and having a high point value is the result of the team's hard work and they should be proud of becoming first champions in La Liga this season. Girona last season can able to finish at 10th place and their manager Michel has successfully to save this team to avoiding relegation zone and you might be surprised about their target before this season starting because the management only targetting Girona to avoiding relegation zone and it never crossed their minds before that they could put on such an impressive performance this time because with their current squad Girona was realized it's hard to compete against big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid for the top 3 But everything is just like dream comes true for them because until week 16 Girona can able to lead Laliga league standings and although Girona can able to occupy first place but their manager never thinking he would make this team to being an Laliga champion and what they want to do now is to performing well for each matches and Alaves indeed will be their upcoming opponent this weekend |

AC Milan was unlucky because although they had made epick comeback and win important match against Newcastle but it doesn't make them to qualified to the round of 16 and after group stages ended Milan have to satisfied with their current position because Milan finish at 3rd place and this make Milan will playing at Europa league soon and Milan is a big team who failed to displayed good performance and now they have to fight at this competition
But i am not really sure if we called Milan as the favourite or not because their recent achievement in this competition is not really impressive and last time they were playing at Europa league on 2021 and at group stages Milan indeed can able to finish at first place but their journey have to stopped at round of 16 because at that time they have to eliminated by Manchester United moreover this season Milan performance in all competitions is not stable so i doubt Milan can able to performing well in this competition

I saw the game Newcastle played and lost in the EPL and I was like, ok they have a good reason for losing that game but this game against Ac Milan was so annoying to see the home side getting that goal that should have been the only lifeline they had but they couldn't defend to the last. I expected more from the EPL team (Newcastle) but they played like fatigue had gotten hold of them all.
To me I prefer the Newcastle of last season to this one we're seeing now, these set of players are not really up to the task and I don't see them coming back to compete in the UCL next season, this is the end of Newcastle playing the champions league.
The result of this match is predictable because just like i said before Newcastle was facing storm injured and before the match begin Newcastle have to lost some of their key players just like Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Sven Botman and their goalkeeper Nick Pope so this make Newcastle was unable to showing good performance so that's why i was predict this match will belongs to Milan but unfortunately although Milan win from this match but they unable to qualify to the next round because PSG has better goals difference than them For the match on Group H Porto who has crucial match yesterday against Shakhtar and playing at home Porto actually only required at least draw result to qualified but they were successfully to collect 3 points after humiliated Shakhtar with big scores and this result make Porto can able to occupy second place and they have equal points to Barcelona 12 points |

Newcastle vs AC Milan
Actually it's hard to both teams to qualified to the round of 16 because their final position will be determined depend on the result match between Dortmund vs PSG because if Dortmund can able to win the match then there is a good chances for one of these teams to finish at 2nd place but if PSG can able to beat Dortmund today then whatever the result of this match it will not change their final position because certainly the teams who qualified is Dortmund and PSG
Regardless the result match between Dortmund vs PSG i still interested to see who is the winner of this match whether it Newcastle or Milan and if we talking about the performance between these teams i think both teams were performing poorly during group stages this because from 5 matches they only can able to collect 1 win each and about meeting statistics they have been met each other once time on September and at that time the match was ended to draw
The recent performance from them is not so different because at their domestic league Newcastle or Milan are still struggle to gets the winning results even the latest is Newcastle have to lose with big scores from Tottenham and about the squad update Newcastle is not in the favourable position because they have to lose at least 7 players total who got injured including their goalkeeper Nick Pope and their second goalkeeper Martin Dubravka still doubtful to play and with the current condition of Newcastle i think it's hard for them to beat Milan so in my opinion Milan will being an the winner of this match and Milan has odds @3.85

Finally, we don't see the top winners of the European League title this season and yes, that's because Sevilla lost against Lens in the last match of the Champions League group stage so they couldn't come to the European League again. This is certainly very pleasant news for any team that is still surviving or has already qualified for the last 16 of the European league because they will not meet Sevilla.
It is clear that the strongest candidates will still be Liverpool and Leverkusen to win the European League this season and that will allow both of them to progress without any obstacles. Sevilla often used the same method in previous seasons to maintain their chances of winning this competition, but unfortunately they failed to do the same thing this season and this meant they had to return their focus to the domestic league.
Yes it is confirmed defending champion Sevilla was eliminated by Lens on the last match of group stages of champion league and their journey on european competition already to stopped but indeed during this season on champion league or Laliga Sevilla was performing poorly they even have to ended group stages without to gets the winning results Besides Sevilla who already to eliminated some teams who finish at 3rd place of group stages of champion league confirmed will playing at playoff stages such as Galatasaray, Braga, Lens and Benfica but i was interested to see Lens performance because this season is the first time for them to play in the European competition although Lens have already to failed to advances to round of 16 but at least they can finish at 3rd place and automatically they will playing at playoff matches later and i will looking forward to see them and how far they will go in this competition |

There is a Lazio - Inter game this week. Lazio are having a quite poor season so I'm curious about how good they can play in this big game. They have a really impressive record against Inter in home games in the recent years. Because they haven't lost to Inter home since October 2018. But thinking of their current condition I'm not so sure about whether they can maintain this record.
Inter are having a very solid season unlike them. Despite playing away here I still expect them to be the much better playing side. Even if Lazio score first I think Inter would most probably win the game.
Lazio performance was unpredictable and they were playing similar just like a mediocre team and until week 15 Lazio have lost 6 times and 3 of them came against small teams just like Salernitana and Genoa even from 5 recent matches in Serie A Lazio only can able to get 1 win and it from Cagliari so these records has been proven Lazio performance is unstable and they will definitely get into trouble against Inter Milan this weekend About Inter Milan i think we shouldn't be talk more about them because currently this team has been change to being an the strongest team in Serie A and against small teams or against strong teams Inter Milan almost to gets positive results and Inter Milan too currently as the team with the most goals in Serie A with 37 goals so this proven Inter Milan has the best attacking lines in this competition so without doubt Inter Milan will going to win this match and the bookmakers provided good odds for them @1.74 |

Girona this weekend will gets easy opponent because at their home they will fight against Alaves and i know as promotion team Alaves performance was quite good because at least they can managed their position on league standings and their position currently at 12th place but Girona records was so fantastic this season because they almost being an the winner for each matches in Laliga and their home matches or away matches records are equally good
The winning result from Barcelona is really make people start to notice them and the players just like Artem Dovbyk, Cristhian Stuani and Savio is became an important player for Girona and they also has successfully to help Girona to performing well for each matches however about the match against Alaves these players most likely will be available this weekend because they are in the good fitness and regarding head to head records this is the first time for both teams to met since 2019 and based on the odds i can see it now Girona is the favourite with odds @1.54

Sad to say but Liverpool doesn't need much work to win Man United because Rashford I not still available and now Maguire and Luke Shaw have been injured. Not like United would have won if these players were available but they would have even a slimer chance without them. I don't think that is a match the Man United fans would be looking up to.
I have read the news about these players too recently and indeed Luke Shaw and Maguire confirmed they were got injured this happened when Manchester United fight against Bayern Munich yesterday and they will be doubtful to play this weekend and this could be a big lost for Manchester United because we all know these players is important players for Manchester United especially Maguire because Ten Hag always be played him regularly this season Manchester United is not in the favourable situations because if Maguire and Shaw unable to play this weekend then Ten Hag doesn't have much options for defender players indeed they still have Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane but these players is still unable to managed their consistency even sometimes performing poorly so played them is quite risky and just like i said before Manchester United has poor records at Anfield they even have a bad memory of last season while playing at there because at that time Manchester United lose with big scores 7-0 and with the current situation of this team i think Liverpool will gets easy win from them |

Copenhagen has just made a history today because they were can able to overcomes Galatasaray and finish at second place and automatically qualified to the next round and playing at their home Copenhagen playing slightly under pressure but during the match their defender players were displayed solid defense because although Galatasaray can able to threaten their defense several times but Copenhagen players still discipline and Lerager has became an the hero of Copenhagen because he can scored and help this team to collect 3 points
Group D also looks interesting to see because Sociedad can able to finish at first place after playing draw against Inter Milan yesterday but Benfica has just make important winning too because finally they can able to gets their first winning in this competition from Salzburg and this result also makes Benfica finish at 3rd place and they will playing at Europa league for play off stages later and this is not good achievement from Benfica because last season they can able to advances to the quarterfinal but at least Benfica didn't finish at the bottom of group standings
