Latest update...Chelsea has mercilessly dealt with Middlesbrough in their ongoing match. It was very easy for Chelsea to score 4 goals in the first half. This has become the fourth match that Chelsea has won on a straight. Chelsea has finally qualified to the EFL finals. Liverpool and Fulham will play the second leg, while Chelsea will relax to see who will come and challenge them in the finals. Does this means that Chelsea is back to their winning streak.
Chelsea 4-0 Middlesbrough
In this case their chance is certainly still there because after all they are one of the clubs that are still said to be great even though their current performance is not in good condition. Their opponent is Liverpool later and of course this will be interesting because this will be a fairly ideal final. In addition, this is interesting because looking at the three matches they played in the last 3 matches it always played a draw and in the match later in February I think it will be very interesting to wait. The final match will be played on February 25 there is still a month to see how these two teams play, in general Liverpool is certainly the favorite but we know Chelsea is not a team to be underestimated they made a surprise in the premier league a few months ago and in the final match the atmosphere will be different. I can't predict who will win yet it would be better to monitor both teams for the next month sometimes there are several factors that can impact team performance such as player injuries or other things, but both teams to score is always an attractive option. |

In my own list this is how I rank em up;
1) Real Madrid
2) Manchester City
3) Bayern Munich
4) Inter Milan
5) Arsenal
6) Barcelona
I do think that Porto would be tough on Arsenal but they'll qualify ahead of them to the next round. I remember the last club that knocked them out of the Europa League Competition last season was Sporting Lisbon. As for Barcelona, they're one team with lot of inconsistency. Could they defeat Napoli? They could finally do that but they will not escape if they fail to sign up a good defensive midfielder. According to Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester City are his number 1 option to win the Champions League Competition.
For 1, 2 and 3 I agree with you but I will put Barcelona in 4th position and Arsenal 5th position while Inter Milan is in 6th position, Barcelona performance is not very impressive this season but they can be relied on in important tournaments like this or even Barcelona can reach the semifinals while the final will most likely be between Real Madrid vs Manchester City. By the way, where do you place PSG? they managed to get through a difficult group even though the results are not perfect, PSG still needs to be watched out for, because usually PSG often reaches the semifinals moreover, Mbappe is still there. |

Bayern Munchen most likely cannot win anymore the Bundesliga with such performances like the one of yesterday which was the worse of all season for them.Bayer Leverkussen is in top form and quite some points ahead of them with the direct clash being played in their home field and this is another advantage for them.They are winning any game and even turned back results from 2-0 to 3-2 showing their force.
Actually I agree with you because Bayern Munich has been defeated for the second time while Leverkusen have never lost at all so it will be more difficult for Muchen to take over the top of the standings, if Munich wins the 18th match then Munich will be 4 points behind that means Munich has to wait for Leverkusen to get their first defeat and one draw with a guarantee that Munich will win all the remaining matches. Of course it surprised us when Munich failed to win the Bundesliga trophy this season even though they have brought in Harry Kane as the top scorer in this league, and maybe Harry Kane will get a new nickname as the unlucky player at the club always fail in races. |

Personally I dare to take the choice of odds for Indonesia. 40 ODDS is too big because Indonesia is considered to have hope to win the match against Japan in the third match of Group D.
Japan only needs a draw to ensure that qualifying together with Iraq because Japan points will be 4 if the results against Indonesia draw.
I dare to rely on Indonesia against Japan because when Japan against Iraq, Japan is overwhelmed when Iraq focuses on defensive games.
Shin Tae-yong needs to apply or copy the Iraq strategy when they defeat Japan because Indonesia also has fast players like Marselino Ferdinan.
It's too risky if you bet on Indonesia to win why not take another option like Draw No Bet Indonesia the odds are also quite high x10 we know anything can happen in a match but we also have to consider the match situation because Japan is one of the favorite teams in this tournament, n fact we often see Japan reaching the semifinals or even the final so you should consider your bets unless you are ready for the risk. I personally will try betting on both teams to score somehow I think Indonesia can score at least one goal. |

The fact that Girona is scoring many goals to big teams like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is a clear sign that they are having an excellent performance recently and yesterday was another confirmation of such form as they scored another 5 goals against Sevilla at home showing their force.Now it will not be easy to win the title but such performance makes you think that they can.
Girona cannot be underestimated in the race for champions this season they have reliable strength it's just that their competitor Real Madrid has more abilities so Girona needs more effort and luck. By the way, I saw some media reporting something surprising today, it was related to the match between Real Madrid v Almeria, many people say that Real Madrid was helped by the referee and other parties when they won the match this can be seen through several video clips that the referee sided with Real Madrid, what do you think about this news? |

I was thinking the same thing as well, concerning how Liverpool will be able to cope without their hit player, I later realized that one thing with nature is that, nature will always fills every gap, might not be exactly the way you want it, but trust me it will be filled up. You can see that the other players have come to the realization that their hit player is not around, so they need to play to leave up to the expectation of the club and so far they've been doing very well. The players you mentioned in their last match, where very brilliant in their pattern of play especially Diogo Jota and Gakpo.
Liverpool have played 3 matches without their mainstay player and they managed to win all the matches including against Arsenal in the last FA Cup well, this can prove that Liverpool has a complete squad I mean other players can take the same role when the main player is not in the lineup, it's just that it would be better and greater if all the players were in line. Anyway, for now I don't have too many doubts about Liverpool even though their mainstay player is absent because there are still other great players ready to take over. |

Heck I'm also sure Juventus will not stay so long on the table but for now, Max Allegri has done well to push the lads to this particular position. They have a wide range of attacking players. Dusan Vlahovic gradually chasing Lautaro Martinez for the hunt for the highest goals scored.
I agree with you, Juventus can only be there for a week then after Inter Milan play their 21st match they will take over the top of the standings. Indeed, it will not be an easy match for Inter Milan but we know they will play as hard as possible I guess at least Inter Milan will get one point. Apart from that, Fiorentina is also not confident because they played badly in the last 2 matches, apart from that Inter Milan will soon face a decisive match against Juventus we can't predict who will win but Inter Milan has the advantage of playing as host. |

Sevilla has no more hope in this season's matches; they prefer to quickly finish this season's matches and start something new again. As you said, they have to find a very good strategy that can bring victory in every match, but this is a task that is quite difficult for Quique Sánchez Flores. So far, perhaps the positions of the players given and their interactions are still not quite right, so they haven't been able to give Sevilla a win.
It is true that Sevilla's current target is to stay away from the relegation zone only one point away from relegation of course they are not yet safe but I'm sure Sevilla can take a place in La Liga for next season there is still time for them to do it, while Almeria will be the first team to be relegated this season for Granada there may still be hope but it is definitely very low. For positions 14-17 they are not yet safe one of these 4 teams could take a place at the bottom of the standings because the league still has 17 to 18 matches left which means there are still many points to collected. |

Dušan Vlahović is really a great chance for Juventus. He is carrying his team with his goals at a young age. He has already scored more goals in the league than last season. Kenan Yıldız is trying to accompany him up front, but Kenan should be given some time. He's just getting used to the team. He will contribute more goals and assists in the future.
Juventus are in the lead, albeit with a game in hand. This will inevitably put pressure on Inter. The match on February 4th is very important. In the Empoli game, players must avoid cards and injuries.
Getting concern with the scudetto sparks numerous sights because Juventus and Inter Milan are doing 100% of energy to enable them become the club that stands first on the table. Juventus thrilled victory against Lecce was impressive. Dušan Vlahović netted a brace, he's the main threat for every opponents he come acrossed, he ensure there's evidence of opportunity of grabbing goals. Massimiliano Allegri continues to do his job to secure good run up points for Bianconeri against Inter Milan who doesn't hold back from collecting good scores in game. So far we haven't been able to see who is more deserving to win the Scudetto Inter Milan and Juventus are still on the same track and therefore it is not surprising that both teams try to win every match. Dušan Vlahović has been playing well recently and has started to actively score goals and he is in 2nd place as top scorer in the Italian League. if he continues to play like this, Juventus can increase his chances of winning the trophy. 3 more weeks we will see Juventus and Inter Milan fight as I said before who won in this fight they had a great chance to win the Scudetto. |

Solid win once again for Liverpool.
In the end it will be a race between Reds and Manchester City.
Kloop vs Guardiola for the last time?
I'm getting myself entertain and happy to watch the big fight for the EPL trophy. We know the competitive clubs that are fierce and will anticipate in the EPL title race. They're mainly two clubs and the rest team will fight for the top four inother to qualify for the UEFA Champions League spot. There's no such thing as last time title race for Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp because these coaches are the only managers that have been consistent in the title race in the past seasons, it's quite significant to watch the extreme stellar performance of these teams. We are still watching the race between the two teams with a difference of 2 points then everything is still possible Liverpool and Manchester City continue to play consistently and we will wait for who will get an unlucky day or we have to wait when both teams fight each other. Here I see Manchester City with more efforts because before they played badly but finally could find the best game especially after Kevin De Bruyne returned. |

I feel like Girona has a serious chance to finish the league at the top, despite their manager being pessimistic about their title chances. They play great, even if they fall behind they don't change their usual game plan and trust the process.
Dovbyk is a beast. He's the best Ukrainian player I've seen since Shevchenko. That 6 minute hat-trick was something else. This season is very special for Girona. I enjoy watching them more than Barcelona. Normally teams that start like this get stuck somewhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Girona. They should go for the title.
Previously, I believe Girona can compete for the trophy but after recently Girona played draws 2 times, their chances were lower and now Real Madrid take over the standings. I personally consider Girona to give a trophy to Real Madrid while Girona only got one ticket to the Champions League, especially after seeing Real Madrid's match today who managed to make a comeback, as if they wanted to prove there was no way to take the title from their hands. |

Wtf is that Bayer Leverkusen comeback??? Leipzig took the lead as early as the 8th minute and I thought they were going tl hold it down to the end and take all 3 points. But knowing the monsters that Xabi Alonso has created at Leverkusen, I placed a bet for Bayer Leverkusen to win or draw at 2.45 odds! At some point, it was about 8 odds for Leverkusen as the match winner With every passing game, I'm beginning to think that Leverkusen might actually go on to win the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich 11 years dominance is about to come to an end. You'd love to see it!  It cannot be described how Leverkusen did it what is clear is that we watched an impressive match and here Leverkusen's abilities and mentality were really tested, I have no doubt in saying that Leverkusen is a strong candidate to be champions this season at least the same opportunity as Bayern Munich. No one expected Leverkusen to play aggressively even without the main players in attack, we know it wasn't just luck because there was a strong effort there and I can't wait for the match between Leverkusen v Bayern Munich. |

FYI, Jordan - South Korea match ended in a draw, with this result both teams have 4 points which makes it even more difficult for Malaysia to advance to the next round.
Only three teams will compete for positions 1 and 2. Malaysia's position to qualify for the next round no longer exists after the match against Bahrain, Malaysia also lost with a score of 1-0. Now Malaysia is in last place with 0 points. South Korea will play the deciding match in Group E against Malaysia. Jordan will face Bahrain. Looking for a quality win against South Korea, it will be difficult for Malaysia to get it. It could be said that there is no longer any chance for Malaysia to aspire to qualify from the group stage in this tournament. Well, with Malaysia losing to Bahrain, they've no chance of advancing to the next round at all, because it's impossible for them to beat South Korea or advance to the next round with just the 3 points they would have gotten if they beat South Korea. So far we already have 2 teams from SEA who no longer have any role in the Asian Cup, the first is Vietnam and the second and now is Malaysia, I hope the team from SEA is able to do a lot in the Asian Cup this time, hopefully Indonesia or Thailand could at least enter the next round. You are right, and at this time we are still monitoring other teams like Thailand who still have a great chance to qualify for the next stage, Thailand only needs one more victory to ensure the place there meanwhile Indonesia needs other luck to be able to qualify somehow Indonesia should beat Japan on the other hand Japan is also eyeing victory of course they do not want to miss the opportunity when fighting a weaker team based on ranking. I don't say that Indonesia has no chance at all but the opportunity is very low or really need a miracle. |

Valencia managed to beat Bilbao and this was an important victory for Valencia to continue to improve its position in the standings. Bilbao, who came as the visiting team and were favored enough to win, actually had to suffer defeat, even though they could have widened the distance from Barcelona one step further if they had won against Valencia. Hugo Durro was the only goal scorer in this match and Valencia was lucky to be able to maintain this lead until the match was over.
Valencia was also quite happy because they were able to win at home against Athletic Bilbao even though before the match started Athletic Bilbao was superior. However, Athletic Bilbao had to suffer defeat in that match and it is quite possible that Athletic Bilbao will be overtaken by Barcelona again if Barcelona can win tomorrow at home to Real Betis. Now Valencia is in seventh place, but if tomorrow Real Betis is able to win at home in the match against Barcelona, of course Valencia's position will also change again. The difference in points between other clubs is very close so there is the potential to overtake each other and it will also be more difficult to predict, Athletic Bilbao is in 4th position but in the near future I believe Barcelona will take over then Atletico Madrid also did the same thing because Atletico Madrid has 2 other matches to play so we know which teams are in the top 4 I mean the team is familiar there is only Girona as a newcomer. Tomorrow Girona will fight Sevilla, this is not difficult to predict Girona will defeat Sevilla and Sevilla is still too close to degradation. |

Very important win for As.Roma today as they were looking for a victory for quite some time and if I'm not mistaken , this is their first victory on 2024. Also , with this victory the team will most likely get a morale boost ( + DeRossi being a badass who won't permit a lot of things to new players but also the youth ones ) so that's why I do think As.Roma will start a winning streak from here.
Of course, this victory is very important for As Roma, especially since this is De Rossi's first match as As Roma's new coach replacing Mourinho who was recently fired. Winning means a lot to increase the confidence of players and coaches. And I haven't seen De Rossi do anything against As Roma, even though they won this match, I think that's normal because Verona is also not a tough team. And fortunately Verona failed to take a penalty in this match, maybe if the penalty had been taken the result would have been different. But even so, this is a good start for De Rossi to raise As Roma's enthusiasm and slowly improve his position in the Serie A standings. Last night for De Rossi his first win. At least this Roma victory can give an answer to the management's decision to fire Mourinho, until now many Roma fans are angry at Morinho's fired. They considered Roma's failure because the owner cannot bring the players desired by Mourinho but this victory should be able to answer their doubts, as you said Roma's opponent today is a weak team so it's normal to win but let's wait when Roma against Inter Milan on 11 February, if Roma can win then the previous problem was in Mourinho. Anyone watching the match between Udinese v AC Milan? Milan managed to make a comeback after Udinese led 2-1 Milan managed to score 2 goals until the current score is 2-3 as we expected Milan don't want to lose points and want to secure their position in the standings. |

Arsenal proved that they were not finished and a landslide victory with 5 goals against Crystal Palace made the Gunners return to their best performance. Previously, many had doubts about the North London City team and quite a few also thought they would not be able to last much longer. However, in fact Mikel Arteta provided a different strategy so that victory for Arsenal was inevitable. At least this result could be a trigger for another victory for Arsenal later.
Arsenal did win big today but that is not enough to prove that Arsenal have come back to the best performance and we have to wait for a few Arsenal matches going forward. But indeed Arsenal surprised us a little because of the impressive game, will Arsenal do it again against Liverpool? based on the schedule, Arsenal will fight Liverpool in early February. Of course we would like it if the Premier League had 3 teams fighting for the trophy this season not only dominated by 2 teams like the previous season such as Manchester City and Liverpool. |

Imo, PSG's victory in round 16 against Real Sociedad was quite big and Mbappe and his friends certainly don't want to give up this opportunity to have the chance to advance to the next qualifying round. Real Sociedad is not a weak club, but compared to PSG, which actually has a fairly strong attacking line, Real Sociedad has to be quite wary of this. However, the problem is that if they have progressed to the next round, they will likely meet other big clubs who will definitely not be easy to deal with. However, PSG must continue to learn and try as optimally as possible to be recognized in the UCL and be able to reach the final. However, this is certainly not easy because they also have Man City on their line.
I agree with you PSG has a big chance to qualify for the next stage of course after beating Real Sociedad, we are not underestimating Real Sociedad, it's just that I think PSG are at a better level, if it were Real Madrid or Barcelona maybe we could consider them on the same level. Apart from that, Mbappe certainly wants to make the best contribution to PSG before moving next season so he will make every effort to achieve it. I think PSG can reach the top 4 after that we can't be sure because its competitors are certainly increasingly competitive, how far do you think PSG will go in this Champions League? |

Seriously, Nigeria's performance is not really impressive, they are struggling to win most of their matches, which is really wrong. The first match that they played was against Equatorial Guinea. Nigeria struggled to play a draw in the match, which is not supposed to be like that. Equatorial Guinea wasn’t supposed to give Nigeria a difficult moment in the match, the match should have been an easy win for Nigeria, but I was just disappointed with the opportunities Nigeria wasted in the match. I noticed there was little improvement in Nigeria's performance in their last match, which was against Ivory Coast, but Nigeria should still improve their performance.
We watched the highlights of this match and it's true, Nigeria seems to be underestimating their opponents so they wasted a lot of chances, Osimhen as a mainstay player also couldn't do much but fortunately Nigeria was able to win the last match so they got 3 points, many people said that it was just luck but whatever the reason it was 3 points. Nigeria has a good chance of going to the next stage only need 1 point or a draw in the last match to ensure a place in the knockout rounds, what do you think about Ivory Coast? will they be able to qualify like Nigeria? previously Ivory Coast was one of the favorites in group A but unlucky day on their side. |

Inter Milan is getting further and further away, and its position at the top of the standings looks clearly difficult to catch. Only Juventus is still able to catch up. As long as Inter Milan always wins in every match, it will give them additional points, and the difference in points between the first and second positions is only 2 points, and this is very close. Inter Milan must maintain their position so that their goal of winning this season is achieved. It is not very easy to do that, but hard work will provide definite results.
Inter Milan only stays away from other teams but not Juventus because in the last few months Juventus has always overshadowed Inter Milan, as if Juventus were ready to take over first position. Juventus is only 2 points behind at the moment and I'm sure Juventus is waiting for the right moment to take over. in February, Inter Milan will play in the Champions League, so this could disturb their concentration in the Italian League match. At the same time, in February Inter Milan will face many strong teams in the Italian League Fiorentina, Juventus, Roma and Atalanta obviously this will annoy them. |
