Union Berlin v Bayer Leverkusen game can also be very exciting. Bayer Leverkusen ended the last season at the 6th place being only 2 points ahead of the 7th, Union Berlin. So there is no need to underestimate any of these teams. As it is an away game, Leverkusen can have a hard time to beat their opponent. And they have important players missing like Alario and Bellarabi. I think this game will end in a draw but both sides will score goal(s).

Tonight, Real Madrid are starting the season by their match against Alaves away. But they have a lot of injured players now. Carvajal, Ceballos, Kroos, Marcelo, Mariano and Mendy won't be able to play in this match. But Benzema can still carry them to the victory. Alaves are not a very tough opponent so it shouldn't be so hard for Real Madrid to win this.

Chelsea are going to play against Crystal Palace home. Ziyech is injured and Kante has an injury also but his condition will be clear before the match. Lukaku is able to play now but he is lacking match fitness. Even if he doesn't play, I think Chelsea will beat them easily. But I would like to see Lukaku in this game really much. It would be good if he enters after the 60th minute at least.

Tonight, we are going to have Lorient - Monaco game. On the first week of the season, Monaco drew with Nantes 1-1. And Lorient also drew with St Etienne with the same score. But when we compare these two teams in terms of strength, Monaco are way better than their competitor of course. They had a great season last. They ended the league at the 3rd place. Now as they didn't have a good start, I assume they would like to obtain a victory in this one. I think that they will win.
I'm expecting Monaco to beat their opponent in this match. They are a way more qualified team than Lorient. Lorient barely were able to stay in the league. They were only two points up the risky zone. Monaco beat them 5-2 in this stadium in the last season. They can get another comfortable win in this one. |

According to AS, PSG are looking for signing Juventus centre-forward Cristiano Ronaldo next summer. Because Mbappe can be signed by Real Madrid for free in the next summer. Mbappe has been thinking of leaving the team so he doesn't intend to extend his contract anymore. Maybe Messi transfer can effect his decision but I'm not sure about it.

Manchester Utd are going to play a home game against Leeds tomorrow. Both teams are capable of scoring easily. Leeds have players like Patrick Bamford who can be dangerous for Manchester Utd. But I think that Manchester Utd side are closer to getting a win. I suppose they can have a good start with a nice victory.

When we think that Messi was ready to agree on a deal even though he would get a 50% pay cut, it seems like Messi won't be hard on Barcelona too much over this matter. But then, his father comes to my mind. As far as I know, he is not a very understanding person. So, maybe he can convince Messi somehow to go after his money immediately.
You guys did not understand the story. Messi agreed to cut his salary to 50% and he can not cut it more because of La Liga rules. 50% reduction between two seasons is the maximum. La Liga does not allow more than 50% reduction of salary between two seasons. Barcelona can not meets La Liga's Financial Fair Play rules if they sign a new contract with Messi, with 50% salary reduction. It adds their total salary budget up to 110% of the club income. Messi can not do anything in this case. Barcelona can do it better and I don't know they really want to renew the contract with Messi or not. I didn't mean that Barcelona were able to buy him either. I know that the La Liga financial rules didn't let them. By saying that, I meant Messi was ready to sign a new contract accepting even 50% wage cut. This shows clearly that Messi is not after a very big amount of money when it comes to Barcelona. He can tolerate it for some time. So, maybe he doesn't go after his loyalty bonus immediately. |

https://www.90min.com/posts/barcelona-lionel-messi-owe-39m-contract-loyalty-bonusAccording to the source, Barcelona still owe Lionel Messi €39m as part of a loyalty bonus included in Messi's final contract. As Barcelona are still in a financial trouble, I think that they wouldn't be able to pay this amount easily. I don't know if they have this amount of money to spare now. Maybe this could lead to a tension between Messi and Barcelona in time. It is true that Barcelona still owes a loyalty bonus to Messi, but it is not possible for Barcelona to pay it in the near future. And I'm sure there won't be any tension between Messi and Barcelona over this matter, because Messi will give Barcelona time to pay. That's because Messi is also aware of the financial situation going on at Barcelona, I'm sure Messi would be wise not to demand that Barcelona pay the loyalty bonus now. This loyalty bonus issue may be suspended until Barcelona's financial condition improves. When we think that Messi was ready to agree on a deal even though he would get a 50% pay cut, it seems like Messi won't be hard on Barcelona too much over this matter. But then, his father comes to my mind. As far as I know, he is not a very understanding person. So, maybe he can convince Messi somehow to go after his money immediately. |

Dortmund v Frankfurt match will also be very competitive I believe. In the last season, Dortmund ended at the 3rd place and Frankfurt were the 5th. And there was only a 4-point difference between them. As both sides are really powerful, it's not too easy to predict the result of the game. First of all, I expect both teams to score. When it comes to which side will be victorious, my favorite team are Dortmund. As long as Haaland plays in this one, I think there is no way they are losing this.  |

We are only hours away from the opening match of the new season of the EPL. I think that Brentford - Arsenal match will be really delightful to watch. Both teams have a big potential to score. Therefore, my primary prediction is that both teams will score. When it comes to which side can win, I'm favoring Arsenal in this one. But I expect a very competitive match at the same time.

Time to bump this topic. We have 3rd qualifying round second leg games today. I made some bets for today.
Zalgiris - Mura - home win @2.40. Yes, I'm biased, but I see big value there. Zalgiris play at home and they are slightly better team IMO.
HJK - Neftci - home win @1.87
St. Johnstone - Galatasaray - away win @2.07. This one looks kinda risky, but I'm still going with it.
You were really close to win but it was a near miss. HJK Helsinki destroyed their opponent 3-0. Galatasaray also defeated St Johnstone with a 4-2 score. But Mura managed to beat Zalgiris away and promoted to the next round. It must be sad to lose like this. Maybe you can make up for it next time. |

Tonight, the games of two Turkish teams ended positively for these teams. Trabzonspor had a tough opponent like Molde. The first game ended 3-3. Here, Trabzonspor got ahead 1-0 but they couldn't prevent the goal came in the last minute. After penalties, Trabzonspor managed to promote with a 4-3 score. Sivasspor had a quite easy opponent actually but they still couldn't prevent the game from going to the extra time. But they still managed to score one more goal in the extra time and eliminated their opponent, Dinamo Batumi.

I've heard a rumour quite opposite to this that Tammy Abraham is now resisting move to Italy and thus AS Roma are now targetting Alexandre Lacazette. Either way with the signing of Lukaku I am sure Abraham's chances to start in Chelsea line up would be very very slim. It would be good to move to some other club while he has the chance. I don't know if Roma are really targeting Alexandre Lacazette. According to the news I've heard, Arsenal are recommending Roma to buy him. Because Arsenal are also after Tammy Abraham now. And I don't know which transfer would be better for Roma. Lacazette or Abraham? Abraham is much younger and he has still long years ahead of him to improve himself more. But it's not the same for Lacazette. And he was a really good striker in his old times. But he isn't anymore I think. |

Manchester City are planning to offer new contract deals to their main goalkeeper Ederson and Phil Jones. Actually, there have been some rumours about Phil Jones which he will be in the players-to-sell list this summer. But it seems like they have changed their mind. Phil Jones was a really good defender a long time ago but he struggled with injuries too much. And it affected his career also.
Phil Jones is a Man Utd player not Man City player, he has not been having a regular playing time with Man Utd since the arrival of Maguire and coupled with injuries, he should sign for another EPL club or alternatively go on loan to enjoy a regular playing time, just like Jesse Lingard last season after all he just signed a contract till 2023, having been in the team for long, Man Utd has Bailly, Raphaël Varane and Lindelof in central defence which may limit his starting of matches, Ederson has been very influencial to the success of Man City title last season he really deserve his contract renewal based on his performances. Sorry, I posted it when I was a little asleep. I've just realized what I wrote. Phil Jones is in Manchester Utd's players-to-sell list as far as I know. As he struggled with injuries so much, they want to send him from the team. Maybe we can see him at a different English club this summer. He is not a bad defender still, but not a very good one also. |

PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, they did not win the title last season. The reason was, they wanted to win the Champions League title. So they took the matches of League 1 with less importance. Moreover, some of the most important players were injured towards the end of the season. They will be able to win the Ligue 1 title this season without any problems.
You are right about that PSG are the biggest team in this league. They have a great starting eleven and even Messi has joined the team now. In the last season, they focused on the Champions League more. It's true. But we shouldn't overlook that Lille had a marvelous season also. They were doing a great job and I think they totally deserved to win the title. After PSG were eliminated from the CL, they could have still made a comeback. But Lille didn't let them. |

I think that the biggest candidate for winning the championship this season are Brooklyn Nets. They struggled with injuries too much in the last season. We couldn't watch KD - Irving - Harden trio very much. But in this season, I believe this won't happen again. And this time, they will reach the championship.
