This is indeed the final match for both teams and I think even though Inter are quite favored, this time the situation is clearly very different because they are not very far from the points difference. Juventus will play all out until they are sure to make it difficult for Inter to break down their defense. I don't think it can be said that Juventus will lose this match and on the contrary, I feel that Juventus will be able to break their bad record in meetings with Inter.

But even if there is a draw then they both have to fight again through another match and that will actually be a place where they could possibly lose points. I am quite interested in betting on this big match later and of course I will not take a bigger risk than betting on one of the teams and at least the BTTS option, even though the odds are small, it is much more promising than the other options.

Maybe there are many people out there who share my opinion that Group E is the strangest group in the Asian Cup competition because after the last match finished today there was a surprising result with Bahrain managing to beat Jordan with a narrow score of 0-1 and followed by a draw between South Korea vs. Malaysia ended with the same score of 3-3.

Of course, this is an extraordinary achievement for Malaysia because it managed to hold off the South Korean series and will definitely increase its ranking in FIFA.
Another thing that made us very surprised was that Bahrain won the group in this preliminary round and instead of South Korea occupying the top position.

Maybe there are other reasons why South Korea is aiming for second place and maybe one of them is to avoid playing Japan in the next round. Of course, even if they wanted to face Japan, South Korea would definitely want them in the final and wouldn't want to meet them sooner.

I don't think that Chelsea and Liverpool will face each other in the near future in the EPL and maybe this match will be like an appetizer before finally eating dessert. But the problem is that the EPL match is a match that is no less important than the EFL Cup final and here Liverpool must continue to widen the distance from Manchester City by winning against Chelsea later.

Apart from that, I don't think there is a strong reason for Chelsea to be able to beat Liverpool and at least they have to accept the results that will happen and not have to hope for more than they can beat Liverpool. However, I do not rule out the possibility for Chelsea if they can hold Liverpool to a draw and that will be Chelsea's main target before facing Liverpool in the EFL Cup final which will take place on February 25 at Wembley.

Of course we are waiting for Harry Kane to score goals again, right? but in fact in that match he couldn't do much and instead the goal was scored by Guerreiro who is a wing defender. Luckily, Bayern Munich were still able to score goals even though their attack line was less effective and indeed this could at least make them enthusiastic again and learn from the previous match so as not to depend on miracles.

Maybe revenge makes sense for Bayern Munich in this match because previously they had failed to do their job well, but I am still wary that Bayern Munich have not found their best performance and therefore estimates have emerged that make me believe they cannot win by a lot of scores.

Last night was definitely a nightmare for Barcelona because they had to be eliminated in the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey after losing to Bilbao in extra time. This match was very fierce and Bilbao was not afraid in the slightest even though the opponent was Barcelona. In fact, a quick goal in the 1st minute managed to put Bilbao through Barcelona's goal and they were ahead for quite a long time. The attacks from both teams never stopped until Barcelona finally managed to reverse it with two goals before halftime. In the second half, Bilbao immediately launched their attack again and finally produced results by scoring the equalizer. Until the final minute the score did not change and the tie remained so it continued into extra time to determine the winner. In the end, Barcelona conceded 2 more goals which made the score end at 4-2 in favor of Bilbao.

---

According to OptaJose, Barcelona conceded 29 shots in this match, making it the most since the last time in the 2013/2014 season and of course this is no achievement. This is a bad record for the Blaugrana and far from expectations if they are one of the clubs that have conceded the most goals this season.

The return of a legend to his old club will certainly be a very exciting and touching thing and here Benzema could actually decide to go to Lyon but that is not easy considering Benzema's current status. I mean he has transformed into one of the best strikers ever and even though he is old his experience in front of the opponent's goal is still just as dangerous. But instead of exaggerating this, Lyon would be better off thinking about where they can get the money to pay Benzema.

His current salary at Al-Ittihad alone is the same as spending 5 seasons at an elite European club and with Lyon's current condition it is clearly impossible to bring him in. Apart from that, it is better for Lyon to start thinking about the long term for the generation of young players in their squad because that is much more important and club management must also improve to overcome this.

Previously I discussed the Lazio vs Napoli match and it is true that the result is very difficult to predict. I don't have an accurate view regarding the final result and what is clear is that this match will probably end in a draw or even with no more than 2 goals scored. I'm not interested in Napoli anymore after they experienced a decline in performance this season, even though last season I was very enthusiastic when Napoli competed and was at the forefront of betting.

For Milan and Inter, it was quite a tense match but there is no reason not to win. The odds offered by the bookie are also appropriate and it can be a fun bet if you manage to make money through these two matches. So I think for now only Milan and Inter can provide maximum results and I will place a bet later while looking at the starting line up of the two teams.

I believe that Inter will still advance even to the semifinals and it seems that comparing the performance of each team in each different domestic league will make it increasingly difficult to determine the fate of each team in advancing to the higher rounds. Maybe it's true that we can't measure the strength of a team because every team that competes in the Champions League is a difficult game to predict and the team that is the favorite will always have a greater chance of qualifying.

However, it is again worth watching Inter's performance in the Champions League this season because they are much stronger than last season and even have a chance to win the title in the domestic league. Apart from that, the thing that Inter needs to pay attention to is that they must not lose the game when facing a team that is equal to or even stronger than them.

Initially I was quite suspicious as to why Liverpool could get such huge betting odds @1.90 against Fulham in the EFL Cup semifinals and it is very likely that Jurgen Kloop will not appear in full with his main squad because they will still focus on maintaining consistency as the top of the EPL standings. Even though Liverpool took a quick lead in the 11th minute through a goal from Luiz Diaz, the result was still deemed inadequate because their subsequent opportunities repeatedly failed.

In fact, Fulham were quite able to keep up with Liverpool's game and they managed to equalize in the 77th minute through a goal scored by Diop. The aggregate is still 2-3 in favor of Liverpool and even though the result of this match is a 1-1 draw, Liverpool still qualify for the EFL Cup final because they are superior in aggregate and will face Chelsea in the final match and will determine who wins the EFL Cup trophy this season.

Absolutely true and there is definitely no problem with the money that will be spent to get Osimhen. All decisions are up to the player to determine his future and at Napoli he feels less happy at the moment. I don't know the exact reason why Osimhen previously wanted to extend his contract if in the end he didn't have the mental strength when the team was down. Maybe that's what I regret about his attitude, but on the other hand, any player in his prime definitely wants to be at a better club.

To go to a Saudi league team seems impossible for Osimhen but if he goes to an EPL club it is very likely that it can happen. Maybe Chelsea, who have been monitoring him since last season, will take advantage of the bad situation at Napoli so that Osimhen wants to join and 120 million euros is very small for Todd Boehly.

I think coach Michel realized too late that there was a gap and he only brought on all his main players in the second half. With the change in strategy and also the entry of these players, nothing changed and it was clear that Girona was too late. Mallorca also realized that they had to survive with their previous 3 goal lead and even though in the end Girona managed to shorten the gap to 3-2, they were still 1 goal short if they wanted to continue to extra time.

This was a very fatal mistake for Girona, even though they were the favorites to qualify for the quarterfinals but they underestimated Mallorca too much at home and the result was as we saw that Girona was officially eliminated from the Copa Del Rey. Now Girona will only focus on the La Liga title race this season and there is no other reason for them to relax like this match.

It was true that what I had previously predicted happened in last night's match and Bayern Munich was only able to win narrowly against Union Berlin. Previously I predicted that Bayern Munich would likely have difficulty winning and even if they did win the goal difference would not be much. I said the difference was at least two goals but what happened was only one goal. I also bet the handicap (2.5) for Union Berlin's advantage and got odds @1.80 which were more decent than having to rely on Bayern Munich winning which only got small odds @1.18

Despite all that, Bayern Munich returned to winning ways and this result at least shortened the distance from Leverkusen to 4 points. That's not a big difference and Bayern Munich can only hope that Leverkusen experiences one defeat and one draw so that they can shift Leverkusen from the top of the standings. But if Bayern Munich experiences bad results again then they will fall behind again and it will be very difficult to catch Leverkusen.

Actually, Casemiro is still not too bad for Europe and even though he is about to turn 32 years old, I am very sure he is still in pretty good form. We know that Manchester United will only be a place where your career will decline because there are too many problems at the club. Erik Ten Hag's way of training is also too excessive and even experienced trainers don't have a method similar to his. I think this is just a problem with the system at Manchester United which has caused several talented players to leave, such as Sancho and Donny van De Beek.

Next, it might be Casemiro's turn to leave and I think it is time for Casemiro to focus on his career rather than having the motivation to improve Manchester United's performance. Being linked to Al-Nassr would certainly make fans' dreams come true by seeing Ronaldo and Casemiro in the same team again and that would be a very extraordinary thing for the Saudi league competition. The arrival of other great European players will make this league shine again even though there are already players who have left, such as Henderson or Benzema, who may soon follow.

That's right, Indonesia must move through the process and must not give up even if they fail to advance to the next round. It is clear that Indonesia is having difficulty protecting the ball and there are no players in the squad who can maintain the tempo of the game. His touch felt very weak and he often couldn't hold on to the ball for longer.

Indonesia is currently mostly filled with naturalized players and they are indeed very young to be in a competition as big as the Asian Cup and perhaps this experience against Japan can be extra capital in the future and their mental state should not decline due to this quite crushing defeat. Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong and reportedly if the Kyrgyzstan vs Oman match ends in a draw or Kyrgyzstan wins with a score of 1-0 or 2-1 then Indonesia has a chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Asian Cup.

Oh, my God! this is too crazy and how can Girona concede 3 goals in just the first half and this is one of their worst performances of the season. I'm not quite sure that Girona will be able to turn things around with the remaining time in the second half, but if they equalize, it's still possible, even with that much difference, and it could be continued through extra time to determine who will go through.

Girona still has their mainstay striker on the bench who also recorded a hat trick last week against Sevilla in La Liga and I think Arthem Dovbyk is the solution to the problems Girona is currently facing. I know that coach Michel wants to rest some of his players but unfortunately this makes them vulnerable to conceding goals. Yan Couto, who is a right-back, is also on the bench in this match and I think he can contribute with his assists in the second half if he comes on as a supersub.

This must be done because even now Kalvin Phillips is still part of the three lions. What happens if he still stays at Manchester City and it is possible that he will lose his place in the Euro 2024 squad and as a professional footballer he must prioritize everything that includes the good of his career. Staying at Manchester City without doing anything, Kalvin Phillips will still produce trophies, but on the other hand, his name will sink further.

The problem is that Kalvin Phillips' position is the same as Rodri's, so he has almost no chance at all to appear unless Rodri is injured or absent due to a card penalty. Kalvin Phillips is unlikely to return to Manchester City, but he will have to pay with his good performance at West Ham so that the club wants to make him permanent. Now everything depends on him and it would be much better if he could become an important player at West Ham.

I thought that if Japan didn't get a penalty and Justin Hubner didn't score an own goal, then the final result would probably be a draw and that would protect Indonesia's chances of qualifying as the best 3rd place team. However, in terms of player quality, Japan and Indonesia are very far apart and it can be seen that when Japan holds the ball, their passing is always smooth, while when Indonesia passes, they always lose the ball due to lack of control.

In this match, Japan's interceptions and preasure were also extraordinary, but unfortunately they often had to commit fouls when Indonesian players carried the ball. I think this defeat is still not too bad for Indonesia and at least in the final minute they were able to shorten the score through Sandy Walsh's goal which utilized a throw-in scheme from Pratama Arhan.

We all know how painful it is and even with such small odds, Bayern Munich cannot win. In fact, I am still confident that Bayern Munich will win again in this match and there is no way they will continue to lose with a gap that is already quite behind Leverkusen. It's just that even if we win the difference will not be more than 2 goals in my opinion and maybe we also have different views regarding the final result.

A draw is still quite open and it is possible that it will happen, but the chance is no more than 20% in my opinion and the rest will be a win for Bayern Munich. I chose the handicap betting option for Union Berlin's advantage because I was quite sure Bayern Munich would win either with a score of 2-0 or later 3-1 so I could still make money from that bet.

It seems that Empoli is starting to have a little hope of revival and their previous victory against Monza with a score of 3-0 without reply meant that they are now only 2 points away from getting out of the relegation zone. To be honest, I didn't expect that Monza would lose so badly like this and maybe Empoli, who have continued to lose in their last few matches, also don't want to be in the same situation.

However, even though Empoli are now starting to open up to the opportunities that exist, unfortunately this week will be a tough match and there is a possibility that they will lose points again. The reason is that their opponents will be one of the candidates to win the Scudetto this season, namely Juventus and from the last 16 matches in Serie A, Juventus have never tasted defeat again until now. That is an impressive record for La Vechia Signora and they will certainly continue their winning trend when they face Empoli this week.

To be honest, the performance of these two teams is quite different and maybe I should say that Bilbao is slightly better than Barcelona. It's not without reason that I say this because in the last 10 matches Bilbao only conceded 4 goals and they are very consistent with the lucky wins they achieved. It's just that last week the defeat against Valencia in La Liga was unexpected and I think it's quite natural for them to accept that result.

Barcelona is one of the teams that concedes the most goals and that's not a small number. I think they will still concede easily against Bilbao later and regarding the winner, I still have doubts considering that both teams have the same chance of winning. So even if I wanted to bet, I would probably bet on the over 2.75 result and not take too much risk with big odds for one of the teams.
