Simone Inzaghi must be able to maintain the performance of his players so that they do not get injured in UCL matches or in the domestic league, it is difficult to maintain consistency in winning ways until the end of the season, it is not easy to rotate players if there are players who are injured. For Inter Milan winning the title this season is the main goal them, so maybe Inter Milan will play optimally to win the title this season, if they fail in the UCL at least they can win the title in the Italian league this season.

But they have to face Allegri and his team who so far have been very consistent in maintaining victory and also getting full points in a row, that is a great achievement and cannot be underestimated, in the previous meeting Juventus and Intermilan played a draw and the second meeting at Inter Milan's home must of course be there is a winner between the two to prove which is the best of the two to win the title this season and also occupy the top of the standings.

This meeting of top clubs will certainly be an interesting spectacle and will determine the outcome of the competition between the two so far, I think Juventus will win dramatically with a narrow score.
Well yes, the title is the main goal for Inter Milan this season and they can probably out stretch to get to the finals of the Ucl like they did last season. But with all these matches, maintaining squad is real priority because they’ve got an informed Juventus on the title chase and are not looking to back off anytime soon. So I feel yes, squad rotation is cool but it’s risky and can be done especially in a way to avoid much a risk. Well Juventus are pretty good and also a determined side and the last time these 2 met, it ended in a draw.

 For the 2nd leg at the San Siro, I think it’ll possibly still be a draw because both teams are composed. The decisive factor for this league will be the slip from any team and this could be cause by injured players in the squad. So that alone is one reason Inter Milan will have to stay fit and maintain her squad so as to be able to hold on at least a title this season.

Because the teams they face in the Champions League differ in terms of strength, they are all a collection of the strongest teams in their respective leagues, which makes it difficult for PSG to always compete and become a team to be reckoned with in the tournament.
Buying expensive players is not enough, there must be development of a good team like Chelsea before they became the team they are today or like Manchester City which needed many seasons with Pep Guardiola before they finally became champions.
And this season there hasn't been any major changes seen at PSG, it's evident that they haven't had a very smooth journey in the group phase and when they manage to qualify Luiz Enrique will face a more difficult match, but they will be able to reach the quarter-finals but the semifinals and finals are not clearly visible to them.


PSG will face Orleans in the French Cup match, like they destroyed Revel this will also be a very easy match for PSG, and it would be surprising if PSG playing with full strength like the match against Revel and Luiz Enrique should let his core players rest to avoid injuries due to the match others are more important and require full strength.
Well buying expensive players doesn’t real make a team successful but rather investing in that team for a long project will. Yes, investment will make the team not just successful but be able to stand the test of time and that’s the success stories of most teams

 For PSG, that’s why they’re not too successful in Europe because those other clubs are far superior than them in terms of squad depth and not just the big names. Well for the French League amd cup it’s always an easy one for them, PSG will keep dominating and I already see them in the final of the French cup and them winning the league is pretty imminent. But they’ve need to invest and build a formidable team if they real want to achieve Gold in Europe

Arteta has been preparing another surprise for us and as you can see that arsenal has been targeting an old guy like benzema. Arsenal has been trying to open the talk to get him as a loan from saudi pro legue club. Im thinking benzema was not the rigth choice for arsenal but this guy was not that bad compared to the other expensive striker. Arsenal will take him as a loan only from saudi pro league club. People were also getting shocked to see that how arsenal was opening talk to get benzema from ittihad as a loan.

Im seeing it as a setback for arsenal caused by benzema has a very big salary but he will come as a loan from ittihad which is good enough. The final decision will be on ittihad caused by the clon was owning the contract with benzema.
Arsenal will try so hard to approach him from ittihad. Some feel this was a bad decision from arteta but the rest was not feeling it as a bad decision. I hope that arsenal and benzema will come to the agreement between both of parties.
Benzema to Arsenal??
Well impressive especially when you consider that they need a striker dearly and Benzema yes he’s quite old but he’s got the experience. Arteta must really understand that his team aren’t productive upfront and that reason, he needs a striker.

 Now the financial part is that they could get under FFP if they’re not careful because Benzema is a big name and he’s receiving huge amount while at Saudi. But I believe the board will be able to check on the situation and know a way out. Benzema in this Arsenal squad, well I’m seeing a little improvement but not enough to match Manchester City and Liverpool though, they'll still need more suitable backup that would match City or liverpool's squad depth.

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.


Everything seems to be like a big deal to Arsenal right now because both at the FA Cup and the Premier league, they have not really performed up to par. The last four previous matches were not pleasing at all for the club as they failed to win their matches against Liverpool, which was a draw in the Premier leaague, they also failed to win against West Ham with a 0 - 2 lost to West Ham in the Premier league, another failure to win against Fulham with a 2 over 1 in the Premier league, with the fourth failure against Liverpool again in the FA Cup to 0 - 2.

What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures.

Arsenal are now wallowing in their best fate, not being consistent and this is one big worry for the fans because they can’t be inconsistent like this and be termed champions. They’ve had a poor run in the last 4 matches, getting knocked out of the FA Cup and also getting lost in the league title chase and this is quite worrisome for the fans

 Now they play a good Crystal Palace side who’re dreadful, for this match I prefer the fans don’t raise their hopes so high because it could end in a draw, though Arsenal could see this a stepping stone to regaining their form. For a safe bet I’ll double chance on Arsenal and the match not having more than 4 goals. Well the squad isn’t weak, I think they’re probably tired already and now misfire, I just hope they get their fire back and gun for wins, else they may keep dropping points and miss out the top 4.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 18, 2024, 04:24:49 PM

I just read rumors regarding Arsenal considering a blockbuster loan for striker number 9, referring to the Teamtalk report. I didn't even think that Benzema was still in great demand even by several top clubs in the Premier League. If I'm not mistaken, Manchester United was initially linked with a loan for the former French international. however, HITC reported that the Red Devils have no intention of signing Benzema this month.
Meanwhile Arsenal surprised me that they were considering Benzema. with the scenario, if Arsenal can get the veteran striker on a temporary contract. So, it's no longer a secret that Arsenal needs another number 9 who can really be relied on in terms of scoring goals for their squad. honestly, I can't describe what it would be like if Benzema played with the Gunners. I don't know what to think, but as an Arsenal supporter I'm happy if this rumor is true. Moreover, Benzema is interested in joining the Gunners.

Likewise with Chelsea, Pohce has been linked with a number of attacking options. considering that Nicolas Jackson is not completely convincing as a striker who can be relied on. and rumors are that Chelsea is also continuing to monitor Bemzema's situation at Al Ittihad. If Arteta is really interested in Benzema, as an Arsenal supporter I really support him. even though Bemzema is no longer young, Arsenal's style of play seems to provide a more deadly attack power. Nevertheless, we'll just have to wait and see what Arsenal will do and the same goes for Benzema. Maybe this is just gossip or part of the options in Arsenal's plans. Also, it's not certain that Benzema will be willing to join the Gunners, we'll just follow further developments.
Arsenal are a good team, they're active in all competitions and they've got the special ability to get victorious at the end. Well for me they've got a great squad and impressive management too but it'll be better if there's an improvement to what they already have. Adding a striker to the list and a few more players with increased effect won't really be a bad idea, rather it'll push the team into getting greater, bigger results.

 It's actually good that so far, the team have been promising and they're working smoothly with their manager too. Errors are quickly corrected and coordinations are present to. One would wait to anticipate what the January transfer window holds for this team. But for the meantime, they still have top contending chance in the European tournaments too, and that's why they need to strengthen their squad ahead of the tournament.
1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: January 18, 2024, 04:17:00 PM

I think as long as Fenerbahce and Galatasaray perform very well and have stability in maintaining the quality of play, the opportunity for Besiktas to appear in the UCL and be close to winning the Turkish Super League title will still be difficult to obtain.
If Fenerbahce and Galatasaray perform at their best, it is impossible for other teams to be able to match them, especially since the two top teams are now making various changes and bringing in several players at the start of last season.
We know that Besiktas is not team that can be taken lightly, but in conditions like this they will only be an obstacle team, not team that dominates the Turkish Super League, and for the Europa League, who knows whether they can get place next season.
But if they still have the same performance in defense like this then they can get it.

One of my wishes is to see Fenerbahce win the Turkish Super League and they can appear in the UCL.
Many people think that Fenerbahce will make it very difficult for other teams if they compete in the UCL and I am curious about their strength when they have to face other big European team.
Wouldn't this be very interesting if it happened and of course we could see firsthand how Fenerbahce performs when they have to face other big team from Europe.
The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins.It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Besiktas on the other hand are trying their best in what they do, they still have greater possibilities of excelling in the league and when efforts are out in the team, it'll yield good outcomes. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain.

 In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them both because their opponents are the opposite of them in all aspects. They're making the league's football more fun especially when it has to do with these two teams. We await the challenge amongst themselves and we're anticipating the winner. Do not be surprised though that the points will be shared eventually by both teams.

Just a week ago we saw the Madrid derby in the Supercopa semifinals and today we will again watch another Madrid derby in the Copa Del Rey quarterfinals. I think both Ateltico and Real Madrid will make fierce attacks on each other in this match and especially for Atletico this is a revenge mission after previously being humiliated by Real Madrid. Not infrequently we will also see the rivalry between these two teams on the field, which always results in many violations and also the number of cards issued by the referee is not small.

Matches are always chaotic between players and this is what makes the match even more exciting. But still what I hope is that both teams can get back at each other and if possible I want to see this match go back to extra time. But if I may predict, it is likely that Real Madrid will still win this match and after winning the previous Supercopa title, of course they still want more if this season Real Madrid is interested in winning the treble winner. Anyway, it is reported that Atletico does not want to provide a guard of honor to Real Madrid players after they win the Supercopa trophy and this kind of disrespect is very regrettable. After all, the two of them are rivals and should be able to respect each other if one of them can win the title.
Madrid's level of performance on the pitch is very much certain to earn them the Spanish Cup trophy. They delivered a good victory against Atletico Madrid and are unceasingly seeming promising too. Their rival at the finals would always be Barcelona and whichever way they come, they'd always be the victorious team, it's going to be  lovely El Classico final and my support goes to Madrid cause I feel that, based on performance this season they're better than Barca.

 Barcelona themselves aren't performing near to the rate of Madrid's and so it's certain that there may be no hope for them again. Real Madrid won't take it easy on them and sternly would want to earn the trophy to themselves this season. Their performances this season have been good and top notch too and their progress shouldn't be surprising.

Last season, Man City maybe was able to beat both of them. Because last season Ral Madrid and Bayern were not in good enough condition. But this season I think something is different. Because Real Madrid and Bayern this season really look more solid than last season. Meanwhile, Man City has had many problems this season. De Bruyne has also just recovered and has returned to playing and indeed he can immediately return to his best performance. But Haaland hasn't returned yet, but I haven't heard any news about when Haaland will return. Even though there are lots of rumors circulating that Haaland might be able to return at the end of January, I'm still not sure whether he will immediately return to his best performance or not.

De Bruyne can immediately return to his best performance but we still don't know about Haaland. So this season the UCL will probably be fiercer than last season. Unless Haaland returns and remains in good form then Man City's chance of winning the UCL title again could indeed happen again.

Inter Milan is also something to be reckoned with. Because this season Inter Milan also looks stronger than last season. And Serie A clubs are sometimes difficult to predict. And can always make other strong teams overwhelmed when facing them.
By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors.
Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen.

 Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too. That's why there's the winter window, for clubs to strengthen their squad depth ahead of competition like this, cause it going to get tougher and the wicker teams would definitely get kicked out.

Let's now enter the second part of the season, with games starting today:

MATCH DAY 18:
18.01. 18:45 Famalicão vs Braga
18.01. 20:45 Vizela vs Sporting
19.01. 20:15 Benfica vs Boavista
20.01. 15:30 Estoril vs Arouca
20.01. 18:00 Casa Pia vs Farense
20.01. 20:30 Porto vs Moreirense
21.01. 15:30 Portimonense vs Gil Vicente
21.01. 18:00 Chaves vs Rio Ave
21.01. 20:30 Vit. Guimarães vs Estrela Amadora
Info: day.month. time (Lisbon time)

In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the European cups too. Benfica did well at securing the three points in their last game with a good goal margin. It only shows how set they are for the task put before them.

 Although a lesser performance wasn't expected from them though but they're definitely a stable team in the league
The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

the effort to bring Ronaldo to the SPL has the aim of increasing the popularity of the SPL so that it is known throughout the world, even though it is not very well known at the moment, but at least since Ronaldo arrived in the SPL, many european players have joined several teams in the SPL, as I said before, when Neymar said it all started from Ronaldo and finally many European players accepted big offers and started careers in the SPL with the belief that in the long term the SPL would become part of the big leagues on a par with Europe.
the SPL will continue to carry out promotions and all means to improve the quality of players in all teams to be able to give confidence to FIFA and make an offer to be part of the UCL someday as long as they can consistently maintain the quality of the matches I'm sure the SPL will be great.

previously, I never thought that I would be able to come and always be present to see the development of several teams in this SPL and it was all because of Ronaldo and as the season progressed I became aware that more and more people knew about this league and it certainly wouldn't be long before the SPL would become a very big league.
The Saudis visionized the benefit of Ronaldo in their league and ever since his arrival he's helped the league to be a focus for fans too. He was the first international signing for the league and other players have been seeing reasons why SPL should be considered in their next transfers.The league itself are eager to expand more as they have eyes on quality stars all around Europe.

 Ronaldo made wave at his first game in the league and he's been doing exceedingly well. Al Nassr recorded a huge increase in the normal of views they have on their social media handles at the instant his signing was complete. No doubt, there's what they call "the Ronaldo effect".Ronaldo a world star helped SPL grow in recognition and SPL are playing their part in ensuring that they keep that track of recognition and focus.

Mourinho needed more time to get Roma back on track but unfortunately it appears Roma didn't have such patience and luxury of time and they wanted almost instant results, he has been with the team since the beginning of the season so they considered it enough time to have done much better, I still trust his skills because he's experienced when it comes to European football, all that he need would have been more time and resources to build the kind of team he would have been able to work with.

De Rossi isn't as experienced as Roma and I hope considering that the management of Roma wouldn't be expecting so much from him in such a short period of time before the end of the season because he may not be able to achieve much as he may say he's got no much time before the end of the season.
Well the sack of Jose has jeopardized lots of achievements they could have probably achieved in this season. Jose has a versatile of experience in European competitions and him being out is more like Roma getting kicked out early in the competition.The mew coach yes might be good but I don’t think he has the experience of knockout stages in Europe, well I don’t think he’ll be able to do well with them. José Mourinho needed time and players but the board weren’t interested in that and got him out.

 Well its De Rossi on the wheels, another great player turn coach; let’s hope he won’t tow the part of Frank Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard and he’ll probably get something good from this Roma side just like Xabi Alonso is doing at Bayer Leverkusen currently. I doubt it though but we never can tell till it starts manifesting
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 18, 2024, 10:48:53 AM

That is a fact that we cannot avoid and indeed Inter is a team that rarely concedes goals. Of course, it will be very difficult for the opponent if they can't even score a goal against Inter and maybe that's why Inter have so far been a very strong team, so they have only lost once in 20 matches. In fact, both Inter and Juventus are almost not much different because Juventus have also lost once so far but Juventus have had more draws at the moment.

The competition between these two big Serie A teams will present something different this season and considering that both of them are still very consistent until now, it will be increasingly difficult for us to predict who will lift the Scudetto. Maybe Inter doesn't really benefit because of their busy schedule in various competitions and Juventus only needs to focus on Serie A for major titles. So there are always weak points and advantages that a team has and here Juventus is quite superior to Inter. But if Simone Inzaghi's troops can sweep the match without any problems, of course that is a very great thing and cannot be denied.
Well both teams are good, they're the strongest In the Serie A this season and the title race is between both. But  if you ask me, I'll say that Inter Milan has more chances of winning than Juventus, I think the morale and team spirit from the UCL final last season came with them to this current season and i love their passion and confidence in every game they play, they show class against weaker team and come out victorious with a good scoreline as well as standing their ground when they come across other top teams.

 Well anything is possible, Inter could carelessly loose points and  give chance to Juventus to get above them, well it's easily said but not very impossible. However Juventus finishing 2nd place is not a bad idea after the whole points deduction they suffered last season, it didn't break them but rather got them stronger.

If judge from the performance of Tuchel and the players when competing, it is very clear that Bayern Munich is definitely capable of winning the title, after all, Bayern Munich is also team that cannot be predicted because they can give very interesting surprises.
As long as Kane can still perform optimally then that is more than enough in the fight for the title, he has been the player with the top scorer for while and of course from this it can be proven that Bayern Munich has many supporting aspects to get one of these titles.
It just that in conditions like this, Tuchel has to be bothered by having several players who have to defend their country and this will be challenge for Tuchel because he has to be able to keep Bayern Munich performing stably in crisis condition for the main players.
However, I still believe that Tuchel will be able to get through all of this and Bayern Munich will definitely remain stable and consistent in strength in every match they will play.
Tuchel is great coach who is quite experienced and he knows what to do to deal with every situation and condition that is occurring within his squad.
Well, I think you're right, despite the fact that Leverkusen are still the league leaders and gaping Bayern with about 4 points, I think Bayern Munich really stand a very good chance of winning the league title, the gap is not very wide and any slip in points from Leverkusen would close the gap and giving them more chances going up the standings. Last season,  Dortmund had Almost won the league, they did really good like Leverkusen but Bayern Munich won at the last game of the season, therefore history could still repeat itself.

 Bayern Munich is a big club, one of the biggest in Europe and they've been dominating the Bundesliga for years, they know what losing the title means, and I believe Tuchel would be working very hard to make sure his team gets to the very top of the standings.

The reason totally non sense to sack him caused by roma was getting bad result int he previous matches. Roma was able performing even better caused by mourinho and im losing all of my confidence on roma caused by this.
Mourinho was far better compared to the rossi. If roma is willing to change the coach, then the club can do that at the end of season. Club can at very least give mourinho a half of the season to complete all of his target at the early of season.
Roma can't do this without him. Im really sure that if rossi will be failed even though if this is just a transition for roma. Who is a good coach that can hired by roma?

The club is not even giving permission for the coach to spend money to buy the good players. It is a rare occurrence to come across a world-class coach who would be willing to undertake the same actions as Mourinho did. Roma gave him very limited budget and this is the main problem.
The management put a very high expectation without even willing to spend some money to help him to rebuild the club. Roma is once again making another mistake by kick him out.
I strongly disagree with it but this is what the management wanted and they have sacked him. There will be no chance for roma to take him again.
Roma really made a poor decision on axing Jose; because I don’t think he was in any case the problem of the team. Well for a coach to attain success he needs to make crucial signings and probably this was what he lacked. He achieved success with them in his first season and in the second, took them to an European final; this alone is huge and worthy of commendation. Now they’ve gotten there old player back to head the team; funny because I think he won’t even be able to achieve half of what Jose has achieved in this team.

 Jose Mourinho is still a top class manager and I know so many teams will be gunning so good for him. There's rumours that some Man United fans, wants Ten Hag out, and for ETH to be kicked out. But will he remain in Europe or get a move to Saudi? That’s the big question.

Results from the match

Burkina Faso (1) Vs (0) Mauritania
Tunisia (0) Vs (1) Namibia
Mali(2) Vs (0)South-Africa

Observation
1. Somehow, I am happy that I didn't bet on this game. I would have lost. I underrated Mauritania. They played very fine football beyond my expectation. I am vex with the defender who was the caused of the penalty. And that is how that mistake caused them to concede a goal. I intend to bring up a conversation with this statement. The find the use of VAR in the matched to be too much. Is there anyone who have noticed this?

2. Again if I had bet on the second game, my predictions would have been absolutely wrong. Congratulations to Namibia a very much underrated team in this tournament. Tunisia would have been so pained. The goal keeper and the entire team gave them a run for their money.

3. The South-African match would also been a wrong prediction. I am amazed and wowed by these results. South-Africa has a good team but lacked team work. They have the potentials to progress and if they are not in the semi-finals it would be a big blow to them. 

In conclusion, corruption and godfatherism is eliminated from most African country football teams we would have teams that would be as good as team in countries in Europe, the Americas and other continents.
Well it’s no longer news the AFCON has kicked off and the best and safest bet for AFCON is under 3.5 goals. Mauritania are a good side and could match Burkina Faso who were a good side some years back but can’t say for now. So the result from that game which was a result of penalty is quite fair and alright. Namibia have their win and we must congratulate them for this whilst they move onto the next.

 A mind blowing result was that of South Africa, I think the team is pretty good but they don’t work as a team rather they show individual talents and this is a setback to the team. Well in General, I’ll say African Football is quite improving but there’s still much work to be done especially to the leaders because corruption is still the main problem and if that’s eradicated then I think African Teams will be sure better teams.

Well I think the rivalry will be fierce and any slip from any team is a success or boost for the other team. Therefore both would be very careful not to drop any points.

 Arsenal and Tottenham could probably join them in the top 4 but I think we shouldn’t write off Villa yet though. Manchester City’s defense can still be relied on though they made some silly errors against Newcastle, so I think the defense line have to be very focused and serious while playing to avoid these situations. Well Arsenal will have to be consistent to be in the top 4 with Villa or Tottenham as this will be real tough and this is what makes The EPL quite interesting.

This will be a bad blow to Everton performance this season because if a second penalty is imposed (deduction of 10) for Everton this season of course they will drop into the relegation zone. Moreover, Everton recent performance has not improved much, of course it will really affect the mentality of Dyche men if they are proven guilty and are sentenced to a point deduction again. Previously, there was a lot of news circulating that Manchester City also violated many rules, but only Everton were sanctioned this season. I think the authorities in the Premier League don't have enough strong evidence to impose punishment on Manchester City.

But for the time being, the second punishment for Everton has not yet been proven strongly if they violated financial regulations and is still under investigation. I hope Everton can escape accusations of violations because Everton is a team with many good players this season so they will be able to turn things around to improve their ranking if these accusations are not proven later. Apart from that, in today's match Everton performed well by winning the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 1-0. In this match Everton did not appear too impressive but they were able to maintain their advantage through the goal scored by Gomes.
Indeed it would be a very big blow for them, cause they've been working really hard to come out of the relegation zone due to the 1st points deduction and currently they're to face another one,  this could really weaken the morale of some players to give up already cause Everton is not a top team that could fight or have a  very good squad like City that could still manage to finish top 10 even though they get 20points deduction, they're an average team in the EPL still trying to grow up and this is a big problem for them.

 Well their prayers should be that even if the rumors of a second deduction is true, then it would be deducted next season and not this, cause I don't think Everton would escape relegation if they get 10 points deducted from them. Well all hope ain't lost yet and I sincerely hope they get out if this FFP issues, so as to allow the team focus on their target currently which is avoiding relegation.

Wrong!

He was the main main leading the attack for Manchester United as everyone played the ball to see him score. Wout Weghorst did most of the marking and tracking balls ( one of the reasons I saw people as crap who come on here to bash him because they don't look at his team work and work rate for Manchester United last season )

This season, Manchester United has a new number nine and Marcus Rashford has refused to create chances for the Rasmus Hojlund.

I don't want to say much about him, take a look at Granacho, the team's performance poor but he tries to up hisngake at all times, top player with top mentality. I hope Erik Ten Hag dumps him on the bench.
Well a player could be scoring goals and yet his team play is really below average vice versa. This is the case for Garnacho and Weghrost. The former is quite young but yet plays as if he’s the only one on the pitch even though he gets some important amd match winning goa but that’s poor coming from him.

 During the loan spell of Weghrost we could see how he came down deep to help defend and get the back then push for attack and this is one criteria of a quality player. The new striker is pretty good but with sting playmakers around. Oops, i think ETH should try and build this his team and their teamwork else he could join José Mourinho on the list of sacked managers this season, he has to do everything possible to buy the heart of Sir Jim and his group to retain him as United's manager next season.

 Of course it will be much more difficult because you will be facing a team that is much more balanced and has almost the same level of experience. Porto is a representative who regularly enters the Champions League and of course their strength cannot be considered weak, especially if they play at home, so Arsenal needs to be aware of their ability to provide surprises. If I wanted to bet, I would prefer the match to end in a draw because after all, Porto is a team that is quite ready to play in the Champions League.

The match is still quite long and maybe both of them can prepare a lot, depending on the depth of the squad they have. When key players suffer injuries due to participating in the main league, this will actually affect the team's performance. Both coaches will have to get really good at rotating because the playoffs will be much more difficult.
One of the fixtures for the UCL round of 16 between Arsenal and Porto is more of an average probable game. Both teams are likely to win. Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too. Porto themselves aren't doing so bad in their league and they've got good track record in the group stage. That's why the game is going to be a little bit tough to predict the winner, well let's see if Arsenal would be able to comfortably win them and qualify for the next round.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.

Ajax performed extraordinary by beating Go Ahead Eagles with a score of 3-2. It shows their mentality and shows that they are back to their best. I think Ajax can get a place in third or fourth place in the standings at the end of the season. But I think Ajax will be difficult to get third place because Twente played quite well in the last five matches.

But we should not underestimate AZ Alkmaar. Many people say Alkmaar are a mediocre team and they will be eliminated in the second half of the season. But their first match is against Twente and we know Twente is in their best form.
The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too.
For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too.

 They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The second half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too.
