Manchester City - Arsenal is going to be a really crucial game for the league title. Arsenal are in a really worrying condition considering their performance on the recent weeks. They were nearly losing to Southampton in a home game as well. They still have serious issues with defending these days. They just can't have a clean sheet for many weeks which led them to get three draws in a row.
Now Manchester City have a big opportunity to take the lead by even winning their missing games. But if they win this big game as well things will be even easier for them. They have been unstoppable for many weeks while Arsenal have been struggling. Playing away is adding an extra difficulty for Arsenal. I don't feel like they can win this game.
Same, I also don't feel like Arsenal can win this game. Because on paper so far Manchester City also have 7 win streak when it meets Arsenal, especially this match City will play at home, so there is no chance for Arsenal to steal point. Also so far Manchester City have a good record, when playing at home last time they slaughtered Bayern Munich in the UCL competition. Before that tomorrow will be held three matches, between Wolves vs Crystal Palace, Aston Villa vs Fulham and Leeds United vs Leicester City. I'll watch Leeds vs Leicester game, to stay away from relegation zone both teams need three points and I think this match it seems like will be interesting. The conditions are now even more difficult for Arsenal because regardless of anything for now especially with their 3 poor results in the last 3 games it's like they let go of the championship this season. They have been very good from the start of the season but indeed for the last few weeks they have lost concentration which has made their performance drop a bit and with this they have to be really prepared because even if they are currently in first place it won't be any guarantee especially with Manchester City who indeed now in good condition and leaves 2 matches that have not been played. |

We also hope that the final is a very ideal team between Real Madrid vs Man City but they only meet in the semifinals so one of those clubs will meet in the final with a team from that Serie A, but in my prediction it is Inter Milan who will qualify even though I know this is the hardest prediction because they in the league are not that prominent. But I'm sure the final won't be boring, this is a very prestigious event, every club will give their best game, including Inter or Milan, but my problem is can Man City win this season? This is a big challenge because if Man City can reach the final I'm sure the English team can win. There is too little hope to see Manchester City be able to win the Champions League title if the final opponent is Real Madrid. I mean Real Madrid are a very consistent team when it comes to titles especially when they play in the Champions League final. However, I never underestimate Manchester City when the team is armed with quality players. Now, because Real Madrid and Manchester City met in the semi-finals, then of course the chances for Manchester City to qualify for the final and win it are very possible. Manchester City are one of the favourites, as are Real Madrid, so their semi-final has got to be the grandest of the season. The conditions can still be but indeed with Manchester City's lack of experience for the Champions League it is clearly a little difficult, especially when their opponent is Madrid. It will be very interesting now because if Madrid wins again in this match, then indeed for 2 consecutive seasons Madrid has always beaten 3 EPL clubs very painfully because Liverpool and Chelsea have felt that before and now it's just waiting for Manchester City to be able to act more or not. |

Bundesliga - Winner
Bayern Munich 1.55
Borussia Dortmund 2.25
Dortmund have a golden opportunity to win Bundesliga this season since Bayern Munich are throwing points everywhere literally. Bochum, Wolfsburg and Augsburg should not be a problem for Dortmund to pass. M'Gladbach and Mainz aren't that hard but they are challenging in fact since these two teams are unpredictable. For Bayern, they will face Hertha, Bremen, Schalke, Leipzig and Koln. Almost all these games are granted if Bayern play the way we used to know. Maybe Leipzig will be quite challenging and Koln +/- Bremen might be a little bit annoying for them. At the end, I would like to see how far will Dortmund resist. The current conditions with the remaining games will be great if Dortmund can continue to be consistent because that's how they can become champions this season as well as destroy the hegemony that has existed for the last decade. But on the other hand, if in the end this season Dortmund manages to win, then the criticism will really be felt towards Tuchel and the officials who were wrong about Nagelsmann's dismissal earlier. |

It was a really rough match for Barcelona after a point in the game by the way. I mean especially the time period starting with the 75th minute.
Atletico Madrid received eight yellow cards as of this minute and it was really insane. It was surprising not to see any red card in this game after this scenario. Anyway I think that this was a deserved win for Barcelona. I was expecting to see Lewandowski to score a goal also but Torres scored the winning goal instead. This was an important win for Barcelona to prevent Real Madrid from being hopeful in any way for the La Liga title. Barcelona have deserved it so far and they should be sure of it to stay that way.
At least Barcelona managed to get one goal and make him win in this match. Atletico Madrid seemed to be trying to play rough against Barcelona, and Lewandowski got very tight guard so that he made it difficult for him to score goals. Fortunately, Barcelona did not lose in front of Atletico Madrid and still maintained its position at the top of the standings. I think when I say Atletico played rough it also applies to Barcelona, but indeed this is still very reasonable. I think because seeing the conditions, which are indeed big matches, it is quite natural for them to do anything so they can hold back and the opposing club does not get points. This victory clearly brought Barcelona back to being very comfortable and they were able to get back a goal even if only 1 goal, but this broke their condition, which had difficulty scoring goals in the last 3 matches. |

The last game of the week is going to be Atalanta - Roma tomorrow night. Atalanta are shown as the closest side to win by bookmakers right now.
They won against Roma away before as well. However I still don't find these odds very true for this game. Because Roma's recent form is much more impressive than their opponent's. Besides I like their game more recently. Roma's away performance these days isn't very impressive though but they won the last one. Maybe this can be some extra concentration for them to maintain a winning streak in away games. But I think it is less risky to bet on both teams to score instead despite knowing their previous game ending by 1-0.
This match will be quite interesting to watch because seeing from the current conditions both teams can still get 3 points. At the moment Atalanta is still not doing anything really good, especially for the last few matches, but indeed their chance to secure 3 points is actually still there, especially since they are playing home in this match even though Roma are currently more favourites. |

Lazio are still an unstoppable team in the league with a long-running impressive form. They are still unbeaten for so many weeks and I think they are about to add another victory to their winning streak of four games as well. They have a home game against Torino and they are highly favoured of course. But Lazio's odd is still higher than my expectation which is interesting on one hand.
Immobile's absence is bad for them maybe but still they are way stronger than Torino now. I think their current odd is just a good opportunity to take advantage of now.
Lazio's performance was good enough during this season they collected enough points and this team is in second place in the table however I was thinking Juventus will be the second team after they got back Lazio doesn't have the chance to win the title becometh first team but have to be careful about their position on the table because Juventus will obviously get enough points and they will wait for a chance to their place of the table. In terms of conditions, when talking about the championship, at the moment, no one can beat Napoli, but when it comes to positions, when talking about Juventus, I actually think this is still not safe because looking at the return of their current position, they are still not sure because of this. also still not possible because indeed their points can still be said to be doubtful, especially since there are still several trials that they must conduct. |

Bayern Munich is in the focus of everyone's hopes they can pull out a win today against Mainz since they were sent packing with their loss in UEFA midweek. Hopefully Sadio Mane will start and not be benched until the final 10 minutes like in previous matches as that would just be a waste of his talents. Need them to score more than 3.5 goals alone as a team for the match which will commence in approximately 2 hours. The odds for a straight ML win are very nice to take as well. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/germany/bundesliga/1-fsv-mainz-05-v-fc-bayern-munich-643cadaf76e9d5133368aeb6The conditions in the previous week he did not play because of his disciplinary problems but it seems that the penalty has ended and it's good that he managed to score 1 goal in this match. Now the first half has ended with the score 0-1 in favor of Bayern. Their possession of the ball was very good in this match, but opportunity wise it was really lacking. |

I just could not believe my eyes how Arsenal came from behind and managed a valuable point against Southampton. Arsenal's title race could fade away, but made an impressive comeback. However, it felt like a total defeat for Arsenal. With three draws in a row, they have now failed to win back-to-back games in the Premier league, which is a worrying sign for their title hunting.
What I could deduce from the match is that Arsenal might probably end with 2nd position this season, they played nonsense. Southampton should have been +3 for them easily, but almost beat them. I just could not expect such at this crucial time in their history. From the very 1st minute, they were scored against, how careless could that be? Well, it's an opportunity for Man City that still have 2 matches to play before they will be even with Arsenal. If they win the 2 matches, then here comes our new hero. arsenal really has thrown away a good chance to win the EPL this season even though they have been waiting for the EPL trophy for the past few seasons. but it must be admitted that the performance shown by Southampton was extraordinary, they even had a 3-1 lead before finally in the 88th and 90th minutes Arsenal managed to equalize the score. I agree with you that it is very likely Arsenal will end up in second place until the end of this season. The problem may be from a mental perspective because in this case, especially when discussing this season, Arsenal have indeed been very good in terms of performance because their improvement has been extraordinary. But on the other hand, the fact is that becoming a champion for the EPL is not that simple, and the opportunities and opportunities they previously had indirectly now |

There are many unemployed coaches and most of these coaches are interested to join a team like Chslea where they know they can have the perfect player because of the good investment they have in Chelsea and other English teams I think Conte can be a good option because he is working in the premier league and familiar with the situation, also he had a good performance on Tottenham considering the quality of the players in that team.
I'm behind on Chelsea discussions with Conte. are they going to work together again? But on the other hand when talking about Conte I think his cognition is still the same as Lampard's. he failed for Chelsea once and is it possible that when he tries again he will succeed. especially with Conte's characteristics, who always want results for the first season, obviously this is a bit of a bother, I think. |

I will try to follow the Brentford - Aston Villa match also. Because things are getting more serious for Aston Villa in the recent times as they are very close to the Europa League spot in the standings. Tottenham lost 7 points on last 4 match weeks and this helped Aston Villa very much. Aston Villa are really unstoppable lately. Since Emery's arrival at the team they have won 12 out of 18 league matches. This is a really huge effort for them considering that they were in a really poor condition before.
Emery effect can be seen against Brentford also tomorrow. They already destroyed Brentford once and they can win once again while Brentford are having a really bad time period in the league on the recent weeks - a winless streak.
Aston Villa got improved and they get better results recently. They beat Newcastle with a 3-0 result and one goal was also not accepted and Newcastle is the same team they had amazing results in the past three weeks, in the last five games they won all the games, That's why I expect to see Aston Villa beat Brentford in this game. The conditions are still possible especially with their current performance which is still very uphill. Currently, with Emery as their tactician, Aston Villa is really very difficult to beat because the scheme that Emery has given is really very good. Even if Brentford sometimes surprises and they will be playing at home, it is clear that there is great hope at Aston Villa at this time. |

Bayern were always destined to lose against City after their stupid decision to fire their coach midway in the season, and Tuchel is a good coach but I always felt that he’ll take quiet a while to settle with Bayern. Lastly there’re only few matches left so Tuchel has to step up quickly or he’ll end up losing the Bundesliga title, and I wonder if that happens will he be sacked or will he be given time to rebuild the team?.
I don't think it's too right for something like this to blame only Tuchel for this defeat, especially if you look at the statistics, Bayern always have difficulties when they face Manchester City and that was proven when they last won in 2016 with a narrow score. On the other hand, in this case, we can also see a difference that is actually quite pronounced in terms of the quality of the players, because even though Bayern is filled with several good players, when compared to Manchester City, this is not something terrible and Manchester City is even better. |

If I'm not mistaken, there is only one game in the Premier League today. Arsenal will play Southampton today. Arsenal made a lot of mistakes in the last games. And they've lost incredible points in the last 2 weeks. But I don't think they will make a mistake in this match against Southampton. Because they don't have the luxury of making mistakes anymore and Southampton will be an easy opponent for them. Moreover, they will play this match at their home ground. I think they will win this match easily and will wait for the results of the other matches. Today, they can manage to make them forget their bad games of the last weeks in this match.
Yep today's schedule has only one match where Arsenal will host Southampton. Honestly, I still hope a lot with Arsenal now especially if they see their current opponent is Southampton, of course their great expectations of winning are clearly very high in this match. I see the current odds of 1.21 for Arsenal seems to be their very real favorite in this match. But on the other hand, hopefully the hopes and favorites of the bookmakers will not be too deviated from reality later considering their current condition can be said to be vulnerable even though losing is a small possibility that is not even possible in this match but for a draw it is still possible for that. There is a clear big chance for Arsenal in this week's match. On the other hand, they really have to be able to win so that their condition is better, especially with the current conditions, actually losing is a taboo for Arsenal if they still want to maintain their position in the standings. Like it or not, no matter how hard the match is, they have to try to win there, especially with a small match like this. |

Naglesmann was a good enough coach. Bayern Munich's performance was not bad. Munich's performance against Manchester City was poor due to the dismissal of Naglesmann. Tuchel is quite experienced as a coach. But then he is new to the Bundesliga. He is also not familiar with Bayern Munich players. And so Tuchel needs more time to strengthen this team. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bayern Munich doesn't win the title this season. Munich's performances have been somewhat erratic, while Dortmund is in very good form.
It also seems a little less effective if the poor performance that is happening to Bayern Munich at the moment is associated with Naglesmann's dismissal as Bayern Munich coach. Because I see this because Manchester City's performance has gotten better than Bayern Munich in the UCL so that Bayern Munich must be eliminated from the UCL competition this season, but for the Bundesliga I am still very confident that Bayern Munich can win even though Dortmund's performance at the time it just keeps getting better. Manchester City is currently in a state of on fire and Bayern's defeat actually doesn't just boil down to the coaching factor I think because even though there are some things like Tuchel who are still not too adapted but when they see their opponents who are in good condition there are actually other considerations for that matter. Sounds like an excuse but with or without a change of coach the possibility of Bayern being knocked out by Manchester City is still something that will happen. |

Almost everyone will say that Manchester City's advantage is currently very good, even in some matches they can get points in every game they win.
From the last five matches, Manchester City won in a row in a very amazing performance and this could make Arsenal afraid to be shifted by Manchester City.
I have a prediction that there is a possibility that Arsenal will be displaced by Manchester City in the near future. The possibility for Arsenal to be eliminated from the top of the standings is indeed very large if in the remaining matches this season Arsenal are unable to be consistent in winning their matches again. Especially after Arsenal against Southampton, the Arsenal team will also meet Manchester City again this month and that match is actually a match that will be quite tough for Arsenal because Manchester City continues to get better now so that Manchester City's chances of taking the top spot in the Premier League this season from Arsenal is still very wide open. Arsenal since the start of the season has been playing football like a team that is hungry for the the title and they have demonstrated that they can go all the way to conquer English football to become premier league champions for the first time since 2004. But their results in their last two matches makes it a difficult task to win the league at the end of the season. Manchester City is playing "total football" at the moment and it'll not be easy to stop them from winning the treble this season Manchester City are increasingly showing their fangs now, especially towards the end of the season and of course this is a danger signal for Arsenal. Last week's results didn't work out for them and any hopes of keeping points clear is very difficult now for Arsenal. They need to get up and keep winning, including when they meet Manchester City so that their position is secure in the end because if they don't it's over for Arsenal. |

Why are you comparing the number of points in the tournament and the Champions League, they are completely different things and certainly not an indication of which team is stronger.
I honestly hate to admit it a little, but Milan's mentality in this Champions League is really good, so they could optimize their performance to overcome Napoli, and they succeeded. Their success in beating Napoli 2-1 on aggregate was quite surprising, especially for me. I thought that it would be Napoli who would qualify especially ahead in the first leg, but it turned out to be Milan who went through. Really appreciate with what Milan has achieved so ffar in Champions League. This is certainty different with their Serie A. Real Madrid has also succeded to the next round. Well, the probality for the other teams qualifying for semi finals will be Man City and Inter Milan. And I also hate to know that Real Madrid will face Man City in the Semi Final. 🙃 I agree, a match like this is worthy of a final and I hope the final itself won't be boring after such a crazy derby. On the other hand I am happy to know that one of the Italian teams will be in the Champions League final, no matter who it is, but that is rare, the last time I remember Juventus made it to the final, now it's either Inter's or Milan's turn Well it's still an important match and I still feel that even if there is Inter or Milan in the final but to win I think it still depends on Manchester City or Madrid again. Now it depends on them whether they are able to win in the semi-finals because if Manchester City or Madrid end up in the final then they will most likely have the chance to win the Champions League. |

Napoli actually has great and strong players but only lost in the champions league as you said that lost experience by ac milan.
Even though they failed to enter the semi-finals, Napoli are still proud of the achievements they got in the Italian league with good performance and are still ranked 1st in the Italian league.
Maybe Napoli's failure will be a valuable lesson to be the best in the league next season and I'm sure Napoli will be even better. Losing Osimhen for a few weeks is also a frightening specter for Napoli in this regard because indeed with that, they are lacking in goal productivity and that makes a big difference when there is Osimhen and not. Well, even if they fail, appreciation must still be given especially with their condition which this season is actually much better than last season, even though they only reached the top 8 in the Champions League it's still better and now their focus is only Serie A. |

The Milan - Napoli successive three games ended today with a chaos to Napoli.
Milan was able to win in the first match in Serie A with 4 goals then won 1-0 in the first leg of Champions League then got a 1 - 1 draw in the second leg played today.
7 points and 6 goals for Milan and 1 point and 1 goal for Napoli which is out of the competition. Luckily Napoli have a good advantage in Serie A otherwise they might dropped in rank if their gap was small.
Apart from them having to give up the semi-final ticket which now belongs to Milan, this is also a bit bad because 3 times in a row they have had to accept defeat from Milan and could only score 1 goal against Milan and even then in the last minute which didn't make any difference there. This is really very regrettable but indeed only Serie A is now their focus even though they are comfortable. |

I know Real Madrid are the better team both from the odds and from the mentality, but that doesn't make me underestimate Chelsea. It was proven that Chelsea were able to create 3-4 dangerous opportunities to score goals, but Chelsea were just out of luck. I'm pleased with how the lads did in this game although for a while we were under a lot of pressure from Chelsea's attack, and now 3-0 on aggregate means we're safe going into the match.
I hope Manchester City will be the third team from the Premier League we will beat in the semifinals, not Bayern Munich. Manchester City are also likely to qualify due to their big aggregate advantage over their opponents, so I hope they will come to the semi-finals.
The possibility to score a goal I think is still there for Madrid, especially now, is a condition where minutes are crucial and we know Madrid are always good at that. Right now they can be said to have qualified for sure but in other matches I really regret the defeat of Napoli because apart from them having to accept 3 consecutive defeats from Milan (if this score lasts until the end), they also have to give up a semi-final ticket which is actually their favorite. edit. Like I said, another goal now and it's 0-2 to Madrid. I'm overly excited and very emotional today about Rodrygo's two goals to win Real Madrid. As I expected, it was a victory as well as proof that Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League among the current Premier League teams. Two English giants have fallen because of Real Madrid this season, Liverpool (6-2), Chelsea (0-4). I can really challenge anyone now even if it's Manchester City. My confidence about Real Madrid should increase greatly following our win in the Champions League today. I'm excited to see who goes through to the semi-finals tomorrow, that shouldn't be a problem because it looks like Real Madrid aren't fazed by it. The possibility now of meeting Manchester City again is actually very big and it's another game for Madrid against the EPL I think for the semi-finals and it's not much different from last season. But indeed too excited and not too good even though at this time Madrid was extraordinary by beating 2 big English clubs with an aggregate of 4 goals, still Manchester City is now very different from Haaland in it. But that will happen if indeed Manchester City secures semi-final tickets for tomorrow's game. |

Chelsea and frank Lampard are doom as Real Madrid makes the tie 3-0 on aggregate. Real Madrid have really shown that they are champions of this league and it would not be a surprise to see them in the finals again. Chelsea on the other hand are really stuck in a bad position because no matter what they it just doesn't seem to add up for them. I just hope that they can find a way to resolve this bad form and restructure their team if not they will definitely face a relegation treath if they continue like this next season. I know Real Madrid are the better team both from the odds and from the mentality, but that doesn't make me underestimate Chelsea. It was proven that Chelsea were able to create 3-4 dangerous opportunities to score goals, but Chelsea were just out of luck. I'm pleased with how the lads did in this game although for a while we were under a lot of pressure from Chelsea's attack, and now 3-0 on aggregate means we're safe going into the match. I hope Manchester City will be the third team from the Premier League we will beat in the semifinals, not Bayern Munich. Manchester City are also likely to qualify due to their big aggregate advantage over their opponents, so I hope they will come to the semi-finals. The possibility to score a goal I think is still there for Madrid, especially now, is a condition where minutes are crucial and we know Madrid are always good at that. Right now they can be said to have qualified for sure but in other matches I really regret the defeat of Napoli because apart from them having to accept 3 consecutive defeats from Milan (if this score lasts until the end), they also have to give up a semi-final ticket which is actually their favorite. edit. Like I said, another goal now and it's 0-2 to Madrid. |

Week 31 is over and now we are getting ready for week 32 next week.
There are 2 interesting matches to watch this week because there is indeed Lens which will host Monaco and Marseille which will travel to Lyon.
Lens' defeat to PSG previously made their position overtaken by Marseille and now it will also be a little difficult to predict, especially for Opponents Lens and Marseille currently also have pretty good conditions from the statistics of the previous matches.
