A pretty bad first half for Napoli. They seemed not ready at the start of the match so this was maximized well by Barcelona.
13 minutes 2 goals I think is bad enough for Napoli and they are now still 2 goals behind.
It will be very difficult if Barcelona still uses the same strategy as in the first half because it is certain that Napoli will continue to be forced to stick with Tiki Taka from Barcelona.

I still feel that Gladbach are still going up there because even though they played quite badly but there are some matches that will be in their favor.
I am completely optimistic about the Gladbach team. They are probably out of form now. But still as a team they are good enough. They have a record of surprising everyone by beating even the strongest team. My guess is that at the end of the season we will see the Gladbach team among the top 10 teams in the table. They are quite a good team but their current form is very poor and they have to improve their current form if they are to stay. But if they really can't improve their current performance, of course it will be very unfortunate because they are one of the pretty good teams in the premier league I think. They have to start overhauling their team next season and for now they have to strengthen their defense and the motivation must always be lifted |

So far, Atalanta are playing better than Olympiacos and Leipzig better than Real Sociedad. I would also like to see Porto win against Lazio and Sevilla win against Dinamo Zagreb. But while few doubt Sevilla will win, Porto are more likely to lose. Lazio look a little better.
Atalanta have already confirmed themselves to the next round I think even though their match is not over yet. Now 60 minutes have passed and they are already 1-0 up thanks to a goal scored by Joakim Mæhle in the first half and this further clarifies their gap as Aggregate has already become 1-4 for Atalanta. Well they seem to be getting away with it for sure now. On the other hand, Leipzig is also now 2 goals ahead against Sociedad |

So the date of this fight is April 16. Ugas is clearly the underdog here. The bookies are in favor with Spence Jr here with the odds that I have seen in one crypto bookie as 1.25 vs 3.75 for Ugas. If you feel that there will be an upset for this match, 3.75 is a very good odds to bet on.
Even so, but in terms of quality of course Spence is indeed superior and I think when he was in Ugas the risk was even higher because if we saw earlier he started to look classy as a result of fighting Pacquiao and this made him one of the wanted ones at the time, but on the other hand I didn't see a good performance in every fight even though he won but it can't compare to Spence in my opinion |

Until Barcelona equalized from a penalty kick (which was highly dubious) they were losing the game in every way. The penalty broke Napoli's game, but even so, Barcelona could not win (by the way, Napoli also had dangerous moments and could come out ahead again). Now before the final match Napoli are the favourites, but in my opinion they are still very much underestimated:
2,50 - 3,50 - 2,80
I see that the latest results have led to a sharp change in the quotes of the teams and now Barcelona is the favourite: 2,80 - 3,50 - 2,55 For me, these are obviously distorted odds and an easy bet on Napoli. The crowd, as always, is emotional and draws conclusions from meaningless individual events. After the match with Napoli, Barcelona will most likely be underestimated as the emotional pendulum will swing in the other direction. The situation is reversed now with Barcelona benefiting in this second leg. Actually this is quite reasonable I think because if you look at the performance of the first leg and the performance in the Domestic league, of course Barcelona is better now even though it has not completely dominated but if you compare the two teams, of course Barcelona is superior. But even though it's like that sometimes Barcelona also often loses momentum when the match takes place. I'm still quite confused at the moment but most likely I'll be at Barcelona's side for Leg 2 later |

Unless Fürth or M'Gladbach start winning successive games or Bayern or Dortmund got replaced by another team then nothing will be special tho  Things will be more exciting before 2-3 games from the end when the battle for the europeans competitions spots will be intense and when we see the relegation battle coming to an end and knowing which team will join 1.Bundesliga (Werder Bremen maybe?) Most likely they will return to the highest caste now although indeed if you look at league 2 it is actually more competitive because there are indeed some clubs that still have potential even if you look at their points gain, they are only 1-2 points adrift from position 1 to position 5 there. I still feel that Gladbach are still going up there because even though they played quite badly but there are some matches that will be in their favor. |

In the latest news that I read: Casimero Accused of Acts Of Lasciviousness In Philippines; Team Dismisses Claims As "Fabricated" An official complaint was filed on February 11 against the three-division and reigning WBO bantamweight titlist from Ormoc City, Philippines, who is accused of Acts of Lasciviousness and of being in violation of Republic Act 7610—Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act. The complaint and pending investigation alleged that Casimero made inappropriate contact with a minor last June in Taguig City.
Violation of RA 7610 is punishable by imprisonment of no less than three months but no more than three years. Similarly, a suspect found guilty of Act of Lasciviousness is punishable by imprisonment of six months to six years. https://www.boxingscene.com/casimero-accused-acts-lasciviousness-philippines-team-dismisses-claims-fabricated--164303So another distraction for Casimero, will give him the benefit of the doubt. Makes me wonder why it was just filed this month? Or maybe some entity is behind to destroy John Riel emotionally and financially? Your guess is as good as mine. This is still in the development stage and indeed when this happens then Casimero will really be at a disadvantage in this regard. But if you look at the progress, I only see it from one side and it seems that Casimero has not done anything or made any clarifications here and I'm just waiting to see what happens now. He is currently still in the defendant status but it will be difficult to do anything including the fight |

Casimero is a champion, I think he can find a good gym to train. He is into a big fight so the team will certainly invest on that, besides, Casimero is the favorite, so most likely he will win the fight and would have a chance to fight Inoue if the monster will accept the challenge.
That's very likely. About the training, they won't just go to a place without the best gym to go to. It's all been planned and they have a game plan to follow. We're just waiting for the day that Casimero will win against Butler. It could be hard as what the others are thinking and Butler will give him a good fight. But in the end, most of the speculations are into him favoring that he'll win this match. I think the hardest thing here for Casimero is to get on the right weight, but about the fight, I guess he will dominate as usual. Butler is just an aggressive fighter, Casimero would not have a hard time using his timing to hurt with this counter punch, I can see that kind of scenario that's why I'm confident. This is also almost the same as a training problem I think, and of course Casimero and Tim must have planned this too. There's still time and quite a lot of time they have at the moment I think he's a pretty disciplined boxer plus a professional team he can handle this kind of stuff. regarding the fight i won't worry too much and still have faith in Casimero because as you said Butler is just an aggressive boxer and it just takes some strategy that is mature enough for Casimero to win |

I didn't like how Bayern Munich played in the first 45 minutes. Greuther Fürth was very aggressive and the 1:0 was therefore deserved. It was clear that Bayern had to play differently in the second half. And they did. But even after Fürth's own goal, Fürth fought again and had a few more chances. In the end like most times Bayern scored the goal.
For Fürth, however, the fight came too late and they will be relegated.
They in the last few matches are very focused on attack but forget about the defense area which makes them quite bad in responding to the opponent's counter-attack. when facing Bochum, Salzburg in UCL even in this match they were too carried away in their attack. In the 1st half, I didn't even feel that their defense was good, even the opposite, their defense was so wide open that Fürth was free to mess up the defense and even turned into a goal. luckily they played well in the second half otherwise it would have been a long conversation for Bayern |

Apart from the weather, I think Willem II played very defensively, even though they also played in the 4:3:3 formation, but certainly very defensively and let Ajax do the playing, hence the high possession of Ajax. But I didn't see the game, so this is just a guess on my part. The statistics with corner kicks and goal kicks would confirm it.
Yep, at first I felt they wanted to play with a counterbalancing style from Ajax considering the formation they did, but indeed this is a big mistake and actually I think their formation with a defensive strategy is actually not very suitable but they played quite well by placing almost all of their players when attacked by ajax. Pretty good defense and strategy but it's a shame they had to lose by a narrow score |

^ I think in the second leg Napoli has a better chance of winning against Barcelona and advancing to the next stage. As Barcelona is playing in away conditions in the second leg I think they might not be able to do very good in that match.
I think Barcelona really lost their chance to take a lead in the home match against Napoli. And it would be really surprising to see Barcelona win the second leg against Napoli. I think Barcelona should concentrate on winning this match but if they can't they should concentrate on achieving the 4th spot in La Liga.
There is no guarantee even if they play at home. Napoli will certainly use the same method of waiting for Barcelona's wave of attacks and trying to take advantage of counter attacks. I think it's good but it will be very monotonous and will be the same as in the first leg. They will keep a lot of players in defense and try to maximize the quick counter-attack. On the other hand, currently Barcelona are getting more and more solid, I think with the current performance the possibility of Napoli is very small |

Told ya that things could went 180 degree , everyone knew about that though.
6 points apart that could become 3 if liverpool beat leeds this midweek. Good time to have liverpool at higher odds before it's going down later.
Manchester city surely under huge pressure to keep them away from liverpool.
13 matches to go for liverpool and 12 matches for manchester city.
Indeed, things like this can happen but on the other hand we also can't underestimate City when results like this happen, They are still in the lead and it's not impossible that Liverpool can also make mistakes in the game they still have to face Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and even City. They can catch up if they maximize the match well especially against City but this is not an easy one because in their first meeting the result was a draw but there may be changes later |

Bayern are still playing the same as against Bochum and Salzburg in the UCL I think in this match. Don't know what went wrong with them, they continued to dominate throughout the game but they often forget about the defensive area where Furth's counter-attack can be maximized well.
For the second half they have to do something so they can score now. it would be very bad if the last 2 matches in the Bundesliga went through with two defeats to the bottom teams

The draw lasted until the end of the match even though this was quite good but in this match they only focused on defense and this I think is quite bad if they do the same thing in the 2nd leg later. Barcelona's performance is slowly getting better, their Tiki taka is also starting to look back at this time and this is sure to be difficult for Napoli. When the 3 new Barcelona strikers play well then I think for Leg 2 it will be very dangerous for Napoli even if it is at their home
The fact that the match will take place at Napoli at home, I would highlight first of all. On the other hand, after the cancellation of the advantage of away goals, Napoli has no other official factors of advantage over Barcelona and the confrontation will start from scratch. However, Barcelona is slowly starting to gain momentum and delight its fans with the results, and Napoli no longer looks as clear a favorite as it looked a month or two ago. Therefore, the fate of the match can be decided by nuances, such as who will be the first to open the score in the match and what strategy Barcelona will choose, strictly defensive like Real Madrid in the match with Paris Saint-Germain or attacking like Liverpool in the match with Inter. interesting to follow indeed, I quite agree if I say that Napoli are now not the seed, their performance is quite different compared to the beginning of the season. Personally, I still feel that Barcelona will still be a team that will advance to the next round now because with current performances, Napoli will also definitely implement the same strategy, namely by defending and doing quick counter attacks. Xavi must now stem that if they are to secure a ticket apart from attacking they are also trying to keep Napoli's attackers moving in midfield. |

It was a dramatic finish for City but they are still on top and this loss don't distribute them much. Pep's no substitution tactic may harm City's condition. Also other players who don't see much playing time may be unhappy.
At least this is a breath of fresh air for Liverpool because even though they are still 6 points adrift, Liverpool still have a chance to catch up because they still have one game left and will still face City in April. It will still be very exciting for them but to lose in this match of course many people are shocked by the bets they make as city is still the favorite but must lose. Mahrez and Kane's 2 extra-time goals were really exciting in this match |

Mainz vs Leverkusen first half is over and as I expected they can take the lead and at least try to secure the 3 points.
Leverkusen's game was quite good in my opinion in terms of possession and Mainz's fault was that they were too focused on the midfield which made the defense a bit neglected.
If things like this continue then I think Leverkusen will score again in the 2nd half later
We are well into the 2nd half and it's 1-1 now. The game is now completely open. Odds are 3.7/1.9/3.7. Mainz did score a 2nd goal, but it wasn't counted. It is a result where both teams can't be too unhappy, but of course both want the win. Maybe we'll see one lucky game deciding goal. and in the end my bet was lost in the last 10 minutes and of course this is quite disappointing. Leverkusen were in control but indeed they lost their focus towards the end of the game which made this a pretty fatal mistake. Goal 3 is the most fatal mistake in my opinion because with the chaos that occurred in the box, there were actually a lot of players who rolled there which made them confused themselves. |

cadiz appear dominant, they must be able to win this match if they want to get 3 points from this match, there's only a little time left, hope cadiz can do that.
madrid vs alaves, i think this is a good opportunity for Ancelotti if they want to try a new strategy so that when they fight PSG later in UCL leg 2, they are very ready.
until the end of the match they could not add back to their goal coffers. Cadiz was indeed quite dominating in this match but in terms of kicks on goal they didn't really differ much because even though Getafe defended, their counter-attacks were quite troublesome. It's going to be very difficult for Cadiz now that the chances of them being relegated will be even greater with this result |

If you look at the current squad of Barcelona and the situation that they are in I think it is quite understandable why the defense is not the best.
They had to make some attacking transfer because without goals you cannot win a match of football. Probably if we give the manager more time I think he will be able to bring some good defenders next season and the defense will look better at that time.
The performance of their defenders is not good enough now that Pique is not young anymore and this is clearly a decline in performance on the other hand sometimes there are some mistakes made by their midfielders who sometimes fail to back up which makes their defense more fragile. But on the other hand, this may now be resolved a little with solidity and possession of the ball which is indeed quite good. This season I personally feel it will be very good if they are in 4th or 3rd position because it might be a bit difficult for 2nd position with the presence of their three new players maybe for next season they have to improve the back and midfield because this really can't be solved this season |

Norwich City is not a difficult opponent for Liverpool this week considering the Kop's positive results in the previous few matches, the victory over Inter Milan in the first leg gives Liverpool confidence to achieve maximum results. Even though Norwich have the motivation to get out of the relegation zone, I think Liverpool is a tough opponent to face. Liverpool still have a chance to become the premier league champion if they can beat Norwich City and make the difference in points with Manchester City only 6 points.
Quite impossible if Liverpool loses to Norwich. Moreover, as a place to continue to chase points from Manchester City, then this is the best moment that Liverpool can take advantage of. Even collecting a lot of points in this match is not a difficult thing to implement Klopp's strategy. If necessary, leave some space for Norwich to attack and focus on collecting points. Isn't this great for them? True, this is an opportunity that Liverpool must take full advantage of because it would be a shame if they didn't get the full points against Norwich at Anfield. They are already superior in every way and there is really nothing to worry about either but maybe there will be a bit of rotation in this match due to maintaining the fitness of players who have competed in the UCL for a while. But that's also not a hindrance as there are still some players on the bench who are even quite good |
