And it seems that this will happen with Sevilla's defeat of PSV with a score of 2-3. even though they had taken an early lead with a score of 2-0, PSV was able to reverse the situation despite one Sevilla player being given a red card. In fact, in their 5 matches in the Chanpions League group phase, not a single Sevilla was able to win their match. On matchday six, Sevilla will visit Lens headquarters. It seems that Sevilla's chances of being able to compete in this league are gone. So, there is no need to look at history that Sevilla is the king of the Europa League, but the matches they played in 5 matches were a mess without winning.

and even if Sevilla qualify for this competition, no one can claim they will be as successful as last season. Moreover, there are competitors who are quite strong and better based on their performance in all events. if, Sevilla came in and met Leverkusen, statistically and on paper, Leverkusen would easily beat them, IMO. I don't mean to underestimate this squad, but let's be realistic, their performance is indeed bad.

As for United, it would be a shame if their match ended in a draw. there is still a chance, but it is very slim. As for Milan, my gut feeling says that Necastle has a chance of getting a ticket to the playoff round of the Europa League competition.
Well, let's just follow what is presented in the Champions League and the Europa League.

You could say that, even though now only Mbappe is their star. However, gradually this team will find their rhythm and style of play. In this January transfer window, perhaps Enrique will release several of his players who are rarely given the opportunity to play. for example, Hugo Ekitike, Nuno Mendez even though he is still injured, Kimpembe, or other players which gives them space to bring in other players to complement Enrique's squad.
Apart from that, Enriqeu actually has players who are suitable as center forwards or in rotation according to the team's needs. Unfortunately, Asensio has to be absent until now. We can refer to when Asensio was trusted to be the center forward, he was able to prove it with his experience and stability.

Now, Gancalo and Kolo Muani have started to be able to score goals for their team, even though in the Champions League they have not been able to show their talent and capacity as center forwards. However, PSG has a big chance to defend their title this season. As for the teams below, their chance to overtake PSG is a tough challenge and difficult to realize. although, in football it is unique. Let's just wait, because this competition still has many matches that all teams have to play.

The match was quite interesting, tense and I enjoyed it even though the game wasn't ideal for me. but as a neutral fan, I enjoyed this match. and what a shame, after taking the lead in the 11th minute by Garnacho, and in the 18th minute by Bruno Fernandes, Hakim Ziyech's free shot was able to reduce the goal difference.
To be honest, I didn't really follow the pattern of these two teams playing their match, because I was finishing my work. However, I will try to study this match later. But, at least it's a fight. This offers a very exciting match with the tension presented by both teams. in this match, I choose Manchester United.  already leading 1-3, but somehow this match ended in a draw. Ten Hag should have taken the initiative more quickly to focus on defense.

However, this is the fact, at least United has proven their resistance even though they are in an unstable condition. the match ended in a draw, and my defeat was not embarrassing. although in truth, The Red Devils are not my favorite team.
Talking about the Bayern vs Copenhagen match, it shouldn't be a problem for them even though Tuchel rotates some of his players. The point is, the home team has a big chance to win the match.
For other matches, I am happy that Arsenal has gone ahead 2-0. It looks like there will be other goals scored by Arsenal players.

Union Berlin is like a team that has run out of gas, and is having difficulty showing its best performance in the 2023/24 season. In fact, we have seen this phenomenon in the previous season, when Union Berlin focused on other competitions, one of which was the Europa League. Their performance goes ups and downs, especially in the Bundesliga. So, they had to go down in ranking and were eventually overtaken by Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
this season, they should increase the amount of ammunition they have to bring in. because, Berlin plays for the Champions League. However, the opposite problem occurred, this team looked like a team that had lost its enthusiasm. The system built by Urs Fischer with his flagship pattern 5-4-1, or 3-5-2, doesn't seem to be effective in every match. Berlin was only recorded as being able to win 2 matches in the Bundesliga out of 12 matches, 1 draw and 9 defeats. in the Champions League group phase, they did not even win a match.

Well, as far as I have read, Urs Fischer actually resigned by reaching an agreement with the club management. and yep, naturally, with a series of such poor performances, the great coach realized that he was no longer competent to handle the team he was coaching. In the end, now Nenad Bjelica has replaced him. The group stage match is his debut match with Union Berlin, so let's watch and wait for the results of how this new coach handles Union Berlin.

Or maybe vice versa, we will see Arsenal sitting at the top of the standings by beating the teams that will be their opponents in the following weeks. If Arsenal is able to overthrow Manchester City, let alone a team like Aston Villa. in the last 4 meetings, Aston Villa was unable to beat Arsenal both home and away. apart from that, it is not certain that Aston Villa will be able to maintain its ranking in 4th place in the Premier League standings. the reason is, before the match against Arsenal. Aston Villa will devote its energy to the match against Manchester City.

Interesting isn't it, after all everything still opens up opportunities, especially for the three teams, namely Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, who are currently ranked in the Premier League standings. and what is certain is, we never know what will happen in the following weeks. especially, if Arsenal is able to secure its position at the top of the Champions League group phase. automatically, they will be more focused on getting full points in this competition. Their point now is how to secure their position in the Champions League group phase. In this way, Arteta can focus his squad on always achieving full results in every match.  Whether they are capable, we will find out soon.

It would be ideal, if this screenshot is the result you get. thus, you can make a strong claim to what you say in this thread. However, it's not that we don't believe what you say and the evidence you show. it's just, like I said at the beginning.  If only, that this victory was yours. This will strengthen the statement you make. referring to what you said, fortunately I have never preached once that no one wins at gambling.

Honestly, I don't need to take examples from other gamblers, even other people's parlay results. I myself can do it, according to my version, without having to target big wins like the screenshot you shared in this thread. In principle, gambling has been designed in such a way regardless of the type of betting. What is certain is that if someone loses, it means there is a gambler who wins. that's how gambling works. Regarding winning, it all depends on each gambler.

Let me take an example, for example we like parlay. From all the matches available every week, we can sort and choose. Well, let's say we choose 3 matches that are included in the parlay list with amassed odds @10.00. if we bet $100, the winnings we get are quite good for me. Just imagine, if you are a pundit, or expert, in every bet you have consistent wins, by minimizing the number of bets on your list. What do you think, is this quite interesting? minimal, at least for me personally.

Yep, Arsenal should have a very big chance of overthrowing the away team in this match. Apart from playing in front of their own supporters, Emirates Stadium, Arsenal is far favored by bookmakers. So, it is fitting for them to win this match and at the same time make up for their defeat in the first round meeting between these two teams. Even though Arsenal is now in first place with 9 points, it is to ensure that they safely advance to the next round. Like it or not, Arteta has to prepare his full squad to get full points in this match.

Meanwhile for the Lens squad, like it or not, Franck Haise's squad had to go all out to repeat their victory like in the first meeting. Unfortunately, it will be a difficult challenge for Lens to overthrow Arsenal in front of their own supporters. although Lens' performance is starting to improve slightly, especially in the domestic league. However, in fact, these two teams have a significant gap in terms of the depth of their squad. Even so, we'll see if Lens can provide resistance to the home team.

Now we refer to the betting odds, Arsenal at @1.40 and Lens at @8.00. Clearly, there is a very significant gap. As an Arsenal supporter, obviously I will support them. unfortunately, the odds are not attractive. So, the ideal option for me is betting on Over 2.5 goals @1.71.

Try to imagine being Ten Hag, at that time if I'm not mistaken he only got a limited budget. How can we say they are careless, yet they really understand what their team needs. Ideally, Ten Hag should budget its limited funds by selecting players who suit their needs. There aren't many choices, he only recruits players who he thinks are really needed. although in reality, there are many players that Ten Hag really needs. at least, 4-5 established players are what they need. but in fact, he could only afford two players. the rest, with various agendas that they carry out, bringing in Hojlund.

Well, if we discuss this, the discussion will be very long. The point is, since United's declaration that they will be sold, United has been in limbo. when Qatar and Sir Rangnick wanted to sign each other, the impact on the United team itself. It seems clear that the Glazer brothers are reluctant to fix Ten Hag's problems. with the scenario, they don't want to spend the money because the club will be acquired by another party. what happened to United, clearly we have to refer to all aspects and points of view. I don't need to explain it, the point is that United is currently experiencing problems.
and the essence of what I said in this thread, Galatasaray vs United.

For Galatasaray, strong is a broad definition. But the point is, I don't underestimate Okan Buruk's squad. However, if Galatasaray is really strong, they will be easy to overthrow when they host Copenhagen. in fact, the match ended with a score of 2-2. In this match, both teams have a chance referring to my analysis and research. plus, the odds available by the bookmaker. Regarding the results, we are waiting for this match to start soon. What I know is that football is unique, every result will be determined when the match starts.

Let's just assume, if I were you. One day, suddenly an old friend, whether female or male, came to visit me. We talked at length, and in the end discussed the core point, namely, gambling. Well, because in this context I'm describing if I were you. To be honest, I won't teach anything about gambling. especially, for points that are often misinterpreted. Most ordinary people think gambling is easy. and yes, it's actually easy if someone really understands what they're doing. especially for gambling that is based on skill, insight and knowledge.

However, no matter how easy it is, there will be greed hidden behind it. Because it is easy to make money from gambling, in the end the tasks that are the first priority will be neglected. Over time, a person will abandon what he really has to do. The point is, I don't see gambling as negative. However, it is necessary to realize that to earn income from gambling, someone must first know the risks. plus, what games they play. If it involves insight, knowledge, skills, okay, that could be a side thing.
But you need to remember that it is not easy to reach that point. ideally, one should be an expert or pundit. Even then, there are no guarantees at all. especially, if I recommend pure luck-based games. That means I'm causing problems for him. I would really advise against it at all, unless someone is a gambler. Maybe with more discussion, we can exchange insights, benefits and reasons. Well, like that, if I were in your position.

It's not because United are not established and mature in their game, unfortunately the squad coached by Erik Ten Hag is being hit by various problems. I think there are many factors that make United's performance unstable, they even tend to play badly. and we are very aware of this.
On the other hand, Galatasaray cannot be underestimated, especially since this match was held at Rams Park, their headquarters. Apart from winning in the first leg, Galatasaray will strengthen its position in the group phase rankings in order to qualify for the next phase. but with conditions, like it or not, you have to beat Manchester United in the match which will be held in the next few hours. Unfortunately, this fight won't be easy, IMO.
If in the first meeting Okan Buruk was able to assess and look for gaps in the Man United squad, this match was an exception.

Referring to the United line-up that Ten Hag will implement, there are two possibilities. Galatasaray can handle their opponents easily, or they will have trouble with these players. Let's see, this fight begins. According to my predictions, the strength of the two teams is equal in terms of the players that will be played in this match. So, there are many possibilities that could happen. especially, if we refer to betting options. Galatasaray with odds @2.60, while United with odds @2.49. In fact, United is only favored because of its big name. After all, The Red Devil's main squad was not played. Well, for me this is what's unique.

My estimate is that United will finish this match with a win even though they have to work hard in this fight. Well, let's just wait for the results of this match.

I can't speculate just based on the short story you told in this thread. In fact, you didn't convey details about your friend who had spent a lot of money according to your version. To be honest, we don't know whether he has abundant money, property and inheritance. and in fact, according to your version he doesn't care about his defeat.
Referring to all of what you said in this post, the point is that I don't know for sure what is real. however, if we try to assume from various points of view. and what is closest to my personal assumption, logically is that your friend has enough money to fund his gambling. It doesn't matter whether he is a addict or not, what is certain is that he is still capable of gambling.

I try to imagine, if your friend is an ordinary person, sooner or later he will run into financial problems. It is started by selling items that are easy to sell, for example smartphones, watches, etc. it can even reach the level of selling property. Well, in this thread it is not explained that this man experienced the situation I said. but the point is, you claim that your friend is an addict and that he is even very aware of his activities. Just like this, if your friend is able to finance what he wants in this case, gambling. So, let him do what he likes. Gradually, maybe he will gain experience that will make him more careful in gambling in the future. However, if it is the other way around, you can provide input without insisting on your opinion. The rest, let your friends decide.

of the three teams that I predict  :

AC Milan vs Dortmund.

Paris Saint Germain vs Newcastle.

Barcelona vs Porto.

---

Only one missed my prediction, namely, PSG vs Newcastle. Of these three matches, I only watched Dortmund. In fact, I didn't watch my favorite team's Barcelona vs Porto match.
Milan vs Dortmund, this match matches my estimates. In fact, if we choose various options as I said, both from the Over option, both teams score goals and the odds are quite good. However, the option of choosing a 1x2 team is very profitable. This match was quite exciting, as an entertainment spectacle, although I was not too satisfied with the performance of both teams. However, the most important thing is that my estimates are correct as predicted.

And what I didn't expect, the PSG vs Newcastle match. Even though it ended in a draw, my guess was wrong. referring to the match statistics, I can already guess that PSG will dominate the match. especially in the second half, PSG had 82% ball possession. They had many opportunities, but none of them were able to convert them into goals. It was recorded that PSG had 31 total shots, 7 of which were on target, 9 big opportunities, the only goal that saved PSG from defeat was through a penalty point goal. Luckily, the match ended in a draw. Furthermore, like it or not, PSG will have to defeat Dortmund in the next meeting.

Final prediction, according to what I said. if Barcelona will win this match. but I doubt that the result of the match will have many goals. I mean the result of this match was only separated by a small margin and yes the match ended with a score of 2-1.

I remember very well the President of Napoli's last statement, he said that they would not let go of their star players this season. However, if a club is interested in bringing him in with a tempting transfer price, we can't avoid it.
BTW, I forgot which newspaper I was referring to, but this statement seems to be widely quoted by other media. In fact, Osimhen is a player who has talent, and can develop much better than staying at Napoli. and if I'm not mistaken in reading the rumors, Napoli's financial situation is also not very healthy. If I'm wrong, please understand because I don't participate in Serie A competitions. however, referring to what you said. It seems that Napoli's situation is not financially healthy.

So far, there are actually many teams interested in bringing him. especially several big clubs that are associated with this player from Negeria. Chelsea, is a team that is always associated with Osimhen. Apart from that, Madrid is also not free from rumors relating to Osimhen. However, so far there has been no clarity on which club is truly willing to bring in Osimhen for such a fantastic dowry. except, with Chelsea. I mean, if Osimhen gives Chelsea the green light, I'm sure Todd Boehly won't hesitate to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

I don't dare to speculate on these two teams, because their rate of failure in the Champions League group stage matches is quite large.  whether it's Manchester United or even Sevilla. Talking about Sevilla, they haven't won even one of their four matches. tomorrow, a fateful day for Sevilla. Likewise with Manchester United, their chance of overthrowing Galatasaray may not be realized. It is possible that United and Sevilla will not be able to finish in 3rd place in the Champions League group phase. thus, they will not participate in this competition.

So what's interesting is Milan and Newcastle, these two teams have the potential to have tickets to the Europa League playoffs. These two teams are in 3rd and 4th place, uniquely the two teams will meet in the final matchday phase of the Champions League. As for other teams that have the potential to fall in the group phase, I haven't checked them yet. but with the joining of several teams that were eliminated in the Champions League competition. Obviously, it will add to the excitement of this competition. We'll see if Sevilla can finish in 3rd place and so will United. plus, Milan and Newcastle. This is interesting, at least it's not just Liverpool and Leverkusen who always get attention in this competition.

In the AFC Champions League match, Al Hilal ensured their victory over the home team with a final score of 0-2. Thus, Al Hilal is in a safe position in the Group D phase of this competition. now, we are talking from the competition side of the Saudi Pro League. as you said and we agree that they have built the best team so far. Even before the top European players arrived, Al Hilal had become one of the teams that always won trophies in this competition. So it is very natural that this team is a giant team in this competition and has competent players, both local and foreign players.

On the contrary, Al Nassr is a team that has always been their rival so far. Current position, the two teams are only 4 points apart. Al Hilal is in first place, Al Nassr is in 2nd place. But if I'm honest, from my point of view, Al Anassr has more competitive players than Al Hilal. referring to foreign players and the star players they have. then does Al Nassr have the potential to overtake Al Hilal's position, of course it can, especially since the last time these teams met in the Arab Champions Cup competition, Al Nassr was able to overthrow Al Hilal.

So, in this week's match. Like it or not, Ronaldo and his colleagues had to defeat Al Hilal even though this match was an away match. Thus, Al Nassr narrowed the gap to 1 point from Al Hilal. For the rest, we will see how these two teams play match after match. However, if the situation is reversed and Al Hilal wins the match against Al Nassr, they will further widen the points gap from their rivals. So, the potential to stop Al Hilal from winning the trophy this season will be very difficult. except, if Al Hilal experiences a decline in performance.

It's very natural for you to say that, after all the difference in points from the top 4 in the standings is not that far from Arsenal. especially the difference between Manchester City and Liverpool, who are only 1-2 points apart. which means, changes can occur every week. however, if I refer to Arsenal's future matches, especially against Wolves, Loton and even Aston Villa, Arsenal still has a big chance to win.
So, it's possible that Arsenal will survive in the next few weeks. in fact, it is possible that they will still maintain it. Most importantly, Arteta and his squad are able to perform consistently, especially as their target this season is to win the Premier League trophy. As for the match between City and Arsenal, there is still quite a long time lag.

We agree that Arteta is a competent coach, but that doesn't mean he is inconsistent. IMO, one thing that I think is lacking from Arteta is when responding to his team being or having difficulty creating opportunities or being left behind first. However, recently there has been a change for Arteta. Likewise, he started to dare to try rotating some of his players.  Different from last season, currently Arteta is preparing his team more to compete fiercely in the race for the League trophy. the only thing I want, Arsenal has another different striker. at least, as a replacement for Nketiah who has the status of a pure striker. thus, this team will be even more competitive.

Let's review this match, I think Xavi is more focused on the Champions League match which will be held after the match against Rayo. we can refer to several pains who sat on the bench, such as Joao Felix, Iikay Gundohan. In the match against Rayo, De Jong had just recovered from his injury. and as in previous matches, we can refer to the fact that this player from the Netherlands has not yet found a strong bond with Oriol Romeu to fill each other's positions. In the end, De Jong's performance was not visible at all. In fact, even without Gavi, Barcelona should be able to overthrow Rayo if we talk based on statistics and player depth.

However, in fact, the match did not go smoothly, as did Pedri's performance after being absent for quite a long time. Apart from that, if I'm not mistaken, Xavi tried to apply two patterns in one match. in the first half with a 4-3-3 pattern, in the second half there was a change to a 4-2-3-1 pattern. Since Rayo scored a goal in the first half in the 39th minute, until the end of the match they tended to play closely. In the second half, Xavi tried to increase the intensity of his squad by including several core players and the system was changed. but in fact, of the 10 total shots they had, only 2 were on target, 3 were big opportunities, 1 shot hit the goalpost. the rest, as you said and I'm just trying to say from another point of view. In essence, Barcelona was just unlucky in this match and at the same time benefited from an own goal by one of Rayo's players. The point is, Xavi is more focused on preparing his squad for the Champions League match which will be held today.

Barcelona vs Porto.

I don't seem to see any community reviewing this fight, so I'll try to tell my version. Moreover, Barcelona is one of my favorite teams. Honestly, as a supporter I want Barcelona to win this match, especially if they play very impressively. Referring to the line-up that Xavi will use in this match, it seems that he has made several changes to the player rotation. As usual, Xavi's mainstay pattern is 4-3-3. However, Cancelo and Kounde have swapped positions if I refer to Barcelona's predicted starting eleven in this match. In the midfield there are De Jong, IIkay and Pedri. Supposedly, these three players can be relied on with their respective skills and abilities. The front line is filled by Raphinha, Lewandowski and Felix. BTW, line-up changes could change before the match starts.

As for the opposing team, Porto seems to be playing with a more defensive system. Sergio Conceiao as the coach is predicted to implement a 4-4-2 pattern. This pattern is quite strong in defense, but very difficult to counterattack. However, it all depends on how this fight turns out. In fact, this match will be an important match for the two teams who will compete on matchday five.
in fact, both teams are tied on 9 points. Likewise, Shartar Donetsk is currently playing its match against Royal and the temporary score is 1-0. If the final result does not change, that means Donetsk has 9 points.
So, the match between Barcelona vs Porto looks like it will be exciting.

Rreferring to betting odds, the bookie favors Barcelona with odds @1.48 and Porto with 6.60. It's natural that apart from the two teams having different depths of players, this match was held at Camp Nou. I'm trying to find the ideal option to bet on, but I'm not too sure. I'm sure Barca will win, but I'm not sure there will be many goals in this match. However, because this match is home, Barcelona will score at least 1 goal. ideally, handicap option -1 Barcelona @1.72. If the winning scenario is narrow, 1-0 or 2-1, no one loses in this bet. most importantly, I want my favorite team to win the match.

Based on my personal point of view, the system and pattern that Enrique has run is as it should be. even though the coach from Spain is still trying to develop it well, as well as covering up the weaknesses of his team. However, they just need to wait until what the coach has prepared works as it should. So far, because the pure stickers they use don't appear very impressive, aka they need time to reach their level, Enrique can't help but take advantage of and rely on Mbappe as a goal-scoring machine for his squad. In the end, PSG returned to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. In the last 8 matches in Ligue 1, PSG began to appear in its game scheme. Even though one match ended in a draw when they visited Clermont headquarters. the point is, gradually PSG will find a solid playing rhythm under the guidance of Luis Enrique.
So, the biggest problem is the team below PSG. How are they able to remain in tight competition with this giant French League squad, whether it's Nice, Monaco, even teams ranked 5th and above.

Now, we are talking about the match that will take place in a few hours. Well, on the contrary, the pressure came on Newcastle in this match. Moreover, the match was played at Paris Saint-Germain's home ground. The challenge is whether Eddie Howe can repeat his victory over PSG in this second leg meeting. This is a test for Newcastle, especially since they are in 4th place. Like it or not, Newcastle had to go all out even in the absence of several injured players. there are no other words, other than let's wait and watch.

If we talk about the draw between Bayern vs Leverkusen, we can actually review it in depth. But the point is, the match ended in a draw and in fact Leverkusen was able to match Bayern. However, in reality, if you only have to review a little. In short, in that match several Bayern players did not perform well. Plus, as we know, Sven Ulreich, who is still guarding Bayern's goal, cannot be relied on. and that's why the match was a draw, despite the fact that Leverkusen played quite well. 

Talking about the match against Dortmund, this is an interesting match. Sometimes, Dortmund can perform well against a team that is doing well or is doing well. This match was held at BayArena, Leverkusen's headquarters. Based on the available odds, the bookie currently favors the home team. It's only natural that Xabi Alonso's squad is currently in an on fire situation. but this match still has a time gap, so I still have time to research and analyze this match. The point is, focus on Dortmund's match in the Champions League. because for me, the results of this match could give an idea of ​​their match when they visit BayArena, Leversen's headquarters. Well, let's just wait.
