Maybe we have often heard that Alphonso Davies' name has been linked with Real Madrid to fill the left wing-back position and the hunt to get him is still ongoing now. However, it is not only Alphonso Davies who is being targeted by Real Madrid and the rumors about Yan Couto have recently been heard quite loudly. Girona's right wing-back has made Real Madrid very interested in him and we know that Dani Carvajal is no longer young and maybe Real Madrid feels that his role is very suitable for Dani Carvajal.

I think the two wing-back candidates from Real Madrid are very appropriate, Alphonso Davies with his speed and agility combined with Vinicius from the left wing will be much more dangerous for the opponent's defense. For Yan Couto, he is also quite agile but the most important thing is that he has very good long ball accuracy and that is why Girona players are often spoiled by his passes when scoring goals.

If we reflect on the previous meeting in the Supercopa semi-final competition against Osasuna, at that time Barcelona won quite convincingly with a score of 2-0 and even though the chances are still the same for Barcelona to win, we will definitely have doubts because Barcelona's performance is very chaotic at the moment. Betting on over 2.5 goals is quite realistic considering the productivity and goals conceded by these two teams is quite high, so it is the right betting option.

In the last few matches, Osasuna has always conceded at least an average of 2 goals and Barcelona with much worse statistics has conceded an average of 3 goals. Of course, it's not without reason that this match is very difficult to predict who the winner will be and at least we have a definite view that in this match there will be at least 3 goals scored regardless of whether both teams score goals or even if only one team concedes that number of goals.

I'm actually the opposite and I quite believe that Luton will make it a little difficult for Brighton but it shouldn't be with a crushing score like this. Maybe from Luton I expected that at least they would only score 1 goal but in fact it was chaotic and they never stopped breaking into Brighton's goal. Indeed, we have the same thoughts regarding Brighton's chances of winning, but it seems like they were careless and have fallen too deep.

As bad as it is for Brighton, it is impossible for them to lose like this and we also have to accept the reality that in football anything can still happen, including Luton with this landslide win. From now on I will be really wary of Brighton and will not be too hasty in placing bets when they play. All my betting winnings had to be destroyed in this one disappointing match.

Arsenal have been waiting for the big stage of the Champions League for so long and they have failed to make it happen in recent years. Since being handled by Mikel Arteta, everything has become more convincing and Arsenal's philosophy of always using talented young players in their squad has also been continued to this day since the Arsene Wenger era. The match against Porto will certainly be a turning point for Arsenal's performance in this competition and if the Gunners succeed in bringing back the representative from Portugal then they can secure a ticket to the quarterfinals.

But it won't be easy and Porto is currently performing quite well in the domestic league, so the current assessment is just speculative. However, overall Arsenal are still above Porto and maybe we will see something different from this match later. Arsenal experienced a gloomy period some time ago and they proved that they are still capable of this competition by returning to winning ways in the domestic league. It's definitely an exciting match and I hope Arsenal don't underestimate Porto.

Of course, Brest will really maintain their current advantage and will not just give up the place at the top that they have worked so hard to achieve. Brest is able to prove that every season there will always be a team that is able to be at its best and they have done that so far. Holding PSG's series was not easy and they were also able to stop PSG's winning streak.

Maintaining their chances of appearing in the Champions League next season is a realistic target for them through this season and there will probably always be obstacles they encounter before they can reach that place. The next match will be no less difficult for Brest because they will face Nice who are currently right above them and if Brest is able to win then they will have the same points as Nice in the standings.

From the start, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if Harry Kane could score this many goals in one season and the number will continue to increase before the season ends. During his time at Spurs, we also saw him score many goals in one season, but unfortunately he never won a title with Spurs. Serhou Guirassy is still absent from Stuttgart because he is defending his country at the AFCON event, while Lois Openda failed to score in the defeat against Stuttgart the previous week.

Apart from that, Sehrou Guirassy's teammate in Stuttgart, Denis Undav, will actually try to surpass Sehrou Guirassy's goal tally after scoring a hat trick in the match against Leipzig. However, for Victor Boniface, he had to step aside after suffering an injury some time ago, so he is increasingly lagging behind the other players in terms of the top scorer list.

I think it is quite rational that in the end it will be increasingly difficult for Juventus to catch Inter and that is not without a strong reason other than if Inter can beat Juventus in the next meeting. This is a decisive match for the team that has a stronger candidate to win the Scudetto and I don't think Inter will let Juventus walk freely at home.

In fact, even if Juventus lose, it will only be a temporary result and it is still possible for Juventus to catch up on the points difference if Inter lose. We know that no team is perfect and what Napoli did last season is perhaps something we rarely see. So without reducing respect to the two teams who are competing to win the Scudetto this season, everything is not over as long as the match has not started and also the end of the season is still quite long.

How surprising was Brighton's defeat against hosts Luton in last night's match and I still can't believe De Zerbi's men conceded 4 goals in this match. Two quick goals were scored by Adebayo and Ogbene and with this advantage it was enough to prove that Brighton's chances of winning were very slim. It didn't stop there, towards the end of the first half, Adebayo scored a brace and at the same time closed a 3-0 lead over Brighton.

Even if Brighton could recover in the second half it is possible that the result would be a draw but it seems that I had too much hope for this team and instead they conceded again and Adebayo recorded his hat trick in this match. Brighton played very badly and perhaps it is true that the absence of a player like Kaoru Mitoma had a complete impact on the creativity of their attack line. Certainly there are quite a few bettors who lose money in a match where it is clear who the winner is and perhaps very few bettors place bets on Luton. Well, congratulations to Luton and at least they still have hope of staying in the EPL this season.

All eyes around the world will be in one place to watch the match between the two greatest players in history and we certainly won't get bored of seeing Ronaldo and Messi on the same field facing each other. Even though this is only a friendly match, it has a huge impact on the world of football and of course this will be a very memorable match seeing as the rivalry between the two players has been going on for a very long time. Moreover, if we follow both of them, it will always be tense to bring each team we are playing for to victory and in Spain we see both players strengthening two big teams.

Now everything is in the past and what remains is only the legacy of these two players and the rest we can only see the competition between the two in matches that we rarely see. Whoever wins or loses will not affect anything and the most important thing is that being able to see the two GOATs again is every fan's dream.

Looking at the betting odds given by the bookies for Barcelona, this should be a convincing win, especially as they get home advantage in today's match against Osasuna. There is no reason for Xavi's squad to lose again in this match, especially last week when they were humiliated by Villarreal at Camp Nou. Meanwhile, Osasuna, who is still in 12th position, has yet to win again after being held to a draw by Sevilla the previous week.

So, this match will be an arena for fighting for points, especially for Barcelona who have not been very consistent lately and they have still not been able to recover after the two previous defeats. The challenge for Xavi must be proven through this match and if they still want to stay in the top 4 then they must win decisively and previous defensive problems must also be corrected so that they don't concede easily. Will you bet on this match and will you maybe bet on Barcelona winning?

I didn't watch much of the match between Saudi Arabia vs South Korea and the two teams were at almost the same level. When it comes to squad depth, South Korea is better but Saudi Arabia doesn't want to give up just because of that. There were several opportunities where Saudi Arabia almost threatened the opponent's goal and there was one opportunity where it hit the goal post twice, after the third ribbon opportunity the ball went wide out of the field.

In the end, after a series of fierce attacks, Saudi Arabia scored the first goal at the start of the second half and took a 1-0 lead. South Korea were very frustrated towards the end of the match and the opportunities they created were endless to threaten the opponent's goal. Luckily, in the 90+1 minute, South Korea managed to equalize the score at 1-1, which sent the match into extra time.

But it seems that the additional 15 x 2 minutes of time did not result in another goal from either team so the match continued to a penalty shootout. As we know, the result is that South Korea managed to escape with a 3-5 win from the penalty shootout. The South Korean goalkeeper performed very well by saving two penalty kicks from Saudi Arabian players.

There has been quite speculative discussion since last season, finally Antonio Conte has the desire to coach a team again and his choice this time was the right one to become Milan coach. I think it's time for him to return to the world of football after a long hiatus after leaving Spurs. Moreover, Antonio Conte returned to Italy, which is also his home and this is also a comfortable place for him because he can also be close to his family.

The challenges of next season await Antonio Conte and I think Milan under his leadership can become a team to be reckoned with to win the Scudetto again. This season will belong to neighbors Inter and maybe next season the Milan duo will compete with each other for the Scudetto. Of course Milan has to provide a transfer budget because Antonio Conte is quite astute in seeing player talent and if the funds are not there it will be difficult to build an ideal squad for him.

That's right, because the distance is not much different, there will be very fierce competition between the teams in the relegation zone. Even though this season is still very long, if you look at the performance of these three teams, there is no difference and for Mainz and Koln, who have been in the Bundesliga for quite a long time, they should be able to get better every season, but what we see is just the opposite. For Darmstadt, maybe I can understand, especially since they are a promoted team this season, so if their results are not optimal then the place they get reflects their performance in their first season.

I think there are times when teams go up and down every season and as we saw, Union Berlin, which last season finished in 4th place in the standings, now has to accept the fact that they can no longer maintain their performance from last season. So in conclusion, if they all want to survive then they have to win and if they still lose then they have to go down to the division below the Bundesliga.

The following is a list of La Liga's temporary top scorers in Week 22 and there is a new name that has joined the race for the golden boot this season and he is Borja Mayoral from Getafe. The former Real Madrid academy player is now at Getafe and his role so far as a striker has really helped Getafe win. One additional goal in the match against Granada put him in the same place as Jude Bellingham and Arthem Dovbyk with a total of 14 goals so far.

On the other hand, there is something quite strange in the list of top scorers and there is not a single Barcelona player's name on the list. Maybe we all know that because Barcelona no one can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals and everyone contributes equally. Well, apart from all that, of course the competition between Jude Bellingham, Arthem Dovbyk and Borja Mayoral is worth watching and they will score more goals before this season ends. Apart from that, Morata, who currently has 13 goals, certainly doesn't want to lose in this competition.

From the start, Lyon were problematic and although some time ago they were quite convincing, in the end they disappointed again. This club seems unable to recover from adversity this season and I think not being relegated is its best achievement this season. There are many sectors that they have to improve and maybe coach Pierre Sage has to give the right direction to his players.

This season is still quite long and everything can still change, but if defeats are the only thing that continues to haunt Lyon then they won't be able to survive much longer in Ligue One. It would be bad history for Lyon if they were relegated and maybe anything could happen if they couldn't get consecutive wins in the matches they were going to play. Rennes can always provide an answer for their performance and even though at the start of the season they had the same fate as Lyon, at least they are much better at the moment.

Quite surprising news came from Moise Kean and as we know previously Juventus had reached an agreement with Atletico to loan Moise Kean until the end of the season but unfortunately when undergoing a medical test Moise Kean reportedly did not pass. The injury suffered by Moise Kean was the reason for the failure of this transfer and Atletico hereby stated that the transfer had officially ended.

Moise Kean has to fly back to Turin and he will be out until the international break in March. Moise Kean had an unfortunate fate and even though he was one step away from being able to join Atletico and get decent playing minutes. However, the recovery from his injury has taken a long time to make Atletico not want to be harmed by his current condition.

A wise choice and there is truth in this home match Luton will certainly not let Brighton win easily. Brighton's two mainstay players at the moment, Ansu Fati, are injured and Kaoru Mitoma is still absent from defending Japan in the Asian Cup, so I don't think their attacks will be as optimal as usual. If Luton is able to make it difficult for Brighton or even score first it will be something profitable.

But Luton's work won't end with that, they have to be ready for every attack that Brighton builds and maybe if Luton concedes just one goal then another goal will soon follow. Overall, Brighton is the favorite and maybe the option of both teams scoring each other's goals is the right bet. Besides, this will be a narrow win for Brighton and therefore I would place the same bet as you.

It is true that Roma only played against weak teams, but if we talk about H2H against Verona or Salernitana when they were still managed by Mourinho, the results were less than optimal and Roma often lost points. So why do I say De Rossi is a good coach for Roma, yes because of these small things and if even from small things De Rossi is not able to win, then there is no point in him replacing Mourinho. So maybe that's the only point I want to say and apart from that, everything has to be processed and there's no harm in giving trust to De Rossi.


Talking about the play-off match against Feyenoord, maybe this could be the next benchmark for De Rossi because this is a different competition from Serie A and we know that if in the European league, Roma were still managed by Mourinho the results would still be good. But now we are talking about De Rossi who will continue Mourinho's legacy in this previous competition and we will see whether there will be any surprises waiting or not considering that Feyenoord has performed very well in the domestic league so far.

Another representative from Southeast Asia had to be eliminated in this Asian Cup competition and at least Thailand could still match the game of Uzbekistan, who was the favorite in this round of 16 match. In my opinion, a 2-1 defeat is not too bad for Thailand and they certainly learned a lot to get to this round. Uzbekistan is indeed a strong opponent for Thailand so we cannot fully expect Thailand to win.

The achievements of Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Indonesia in making it through to the round of 16 are indeed worthy of appreciation, but again their opponents at this level are much better so the chance of advancing to the quarterfinals is quite impossible. I think both Thailand and Indonesia have gained a lot of experience in a competition of this size and I hope they will return in the next competition year.

That's a lot of opportunities in one match but Leverkusen were also not so lucky considering the Gladbach goalkeeper's performance was also very good. He can always thwart Leverkusen's opportunities and protect his goal from being conceded. Maybe the absence of Boniface, who is still injured, makes their attack line weak and Leverkusen doesn't have a striker with finishing as good as him.

Borja Iglesias is only on loan until the end of the season and in fact he is quite old as a Leverkusen striker and this is only an emergency transfer made by Xabi Alonso to complete their attacking line options. If we look at Borja Iglesias' statistics so far with Real Betis, he has appeared in 11 matches but has not recorded a single goal and maybe if you look at Xabi Alonso's vision as a coach, he can develop this player to what the team needs.
