Chelsea is at a fairly advantageous point if they are able to take advantage of this opportunity. But my doubts about Chelsea are the difficulties for them in winning the victory. I have hope for this game for Chelsea to be able to put up a tough fight in this game.
Chelsea are very unstable comparing to Arsenal. It is true gunners lost as many points as 6 in their last 4 games but Chelsea got only one point in their last five games. The failure of Chelsea seems unstoppable at some point and I doubt their game vs Arsenal will be any better. At the opposite, I think Arsenal will stop their failure strike and they will resume winning by tomorrow.
Leicester City 2 - 2 Everton with only few minutes left in a match I called, the battle for relegation. |

Marseille continued their pursuit of PSG by winning 2-1 after losing the first half. Although they had plenty of shots in the first half, they couldn't get a shot on goal. For this reason, they conceded a goal on the first shot on goal. In the second half, Marseille increased the pressure and scored one goal after another.
PSG, on the other hand, suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against Lorient. Of course, Hakimi's red card played a big part in this. He left his team down to 10 men in the very early minutes and actually changed the fate of the match. Lorient, on the other hand, made the most of it and took the 3 points.
PSG are still 5 points in advance of Marseille with only 5 games left. The games left for PSG are easy so I assume they could win most of them. Marseille have matches vs Lens and Lille that will be challenging so the poursuit will not be easy at all. Marseille have to win especially their game vs Lens to somehow secure the other Champions League spot, that's the important thing to achieve for them. |

Did anyone of you watch the Sevilla vs Girona match?
I think it's an interesting match even though both are mid-table sides this season. Sevilla, who are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, had to loss by Girona 0-1 in the first half, but Sevilla completely dominated this match.
Sevilla is hoping for a win to boost their confidence as La Liga is not the only competition they have played in so far. Keeping in good form is expected as Sevilla are still in the Europa League so I think they will have to find a way to break down the Girona defense during the second half.
The match is in its +73th minutes and Sevilla are down vs Girona by 2 goals to 0 in a home game. That's embarrassing, chances without luck to score. Sevilla are 10 points away from relegation zone without any opportunity to pick an European competition spot after their defeat today in my opinion. There is nothing to expect from them apart from winning Europa League this season which isn't that obvious against teams like Juve, Leverkusen and Roma. |

Inter won with 3 goals vs Lazio which aren't able to score more than 1 goal in the first half. Inter turned the table on them in the second half and made a big favour for Napoli that refused it this round. Napoli will claim the scudetto soon in my opinion. Juventus team failed to win for the fourth consecutive time, bologna is a tough team and their standing prove it so i don't think this was a big upset, juve are still on the third spot and thanks to inter they are only one point away from lazio so i think this was a beneficial round for them.
I don't know if taking back your points would help Juventus play better or not. |

And for sure Bayern Munich has that luck again that they win there match against Hertha Berlin when Dortmund played a draw only.
What a crazy season of the nearly end , and its still not over and hopefull surprising things will happen in the next weeks.
Little bit disappointed from Frankfurt about there draw also , normaly they should win that game.
As I said, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are throwing the title to each other every round. Right now, Bayern are in the first place with only 1 point difference. Bayern scored 2 goals in the second half of the game vs Hertha which are now in the last position and will most likely relegate by the end of the season. |

Manchester City was able to top the league table after their match today winning with a 2:1 that put them ahead of Arsenal for the second time in this season and tho
Is the time I am sure Manchester City wi not slide off that position again till the end of this season which is just a few games ahead, Asernal lost out of the premier league title holder when thfailedlure to provide enough game-winning that could sustain their position even though they started the season on a good note.
Manchester City are trying to defend their title while eying to get their first star in Champions League. They have hard moments in both competition but at least they got back their first spot in EPL. Newcastle and Manchester United are securing their third and fourth place in EPL while Liverpool are trying to approach them by intimidating Spurs. Poor Tottenham received 3 goals in 15 minutes of the game before getting the draw in extra time of the second half and Liverpool just ruined their fun by scoring a goal 1 minute after. |

Looks like the top teams are having a really bad day in Ligue 1 tonight as we started with a horrendous lost game of 1-3 from PSG against Lorient and PSG was playing in their home,I don't dare to think how many tickets this game has burned down,probably a whole lot of them and that is why I never bet on such low odds games most of the time.
Now we have Marseille that dominated the first half but Auxerre with just one shot on goal are now leading at the end of the first half.I think here though that Marseille will come back and turn things around as 2 really bad results rarely happen to the two top teams in the same day but let's wait and see how things fold out.
There was many surprises in today's game in Ligue 1. PSG lost by 3 goals to 1 vs Lorient. The only goal that was scored by Mbappe was for sure one of the easiest goal in the history of football. Lorient's goalkeeper throw the ball in the field in front of him like he was trying to shoot a fool and Mbappe just took it and scored. That was a noobie mistake by the goalkeeper. Monaco was the other team that lost badly by 4 goals vs Montpellier. Worst part is that they weren't able to score a goal. Lille and Rennes are approaching from them. |

Atalanta team managed a tough win away against torino and those three points allowed them to push forward into the sixth position past inter who now has no choice but to win so they can get back into the top four a draw will only allow them to take back their sixth spot but they will be facing lazio one of the best performing teams this season so this will be a tough game and can go either way.
Today's matches were hard. Roma and Milan one was pretty interesting in the overtime with the first goal scored by Roma in the first three minutes of the overtime followed five minutes later by Milan's one! Milan were lucky they could get a tie and get one point. Atalanta got 3 points after defeating Torino 2 - 1. The results right now are good for Inter since once they win, they will be back in the 4th spot and Atalanta will lose its European spot. |

After the 7 goals scored by both Crystal Palace and West Ham, here is Brighton scoring alone 6 goals vs Wolves without receiving any! Brighton still lacking 2 matches and could go up to the 5th spot once they win these 2 games. Tomorrow, Fulham - Manchester City. Once City win in this away game, they will be officially the first in ranking after a long period of absence  |

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar Jr. has been out with a season-ending ankle injury in February. As a result, it would be surprising for any club, mostly a Premier League side, would be interested; nonetheless, there might be a market.
Foot Mercato reported on Monday, citing sources, that Manchester United has been watching him for several months. The Red Devils did not make any concrete approaches, but they simply inquired about him at the start of the year.
Nonetheless, this target, like others, is put on hold pending the final sale of the club. The French media outlet notes that the English side should expect the arrival of several prominent stars if Qatari investors buy them. Source: https://psgtalk.com/2023/04/psg-star-could-join-messi-with-exit-manchester-united-revealed-to-have-interest/I doubt any club will be interested in Neymar unless the price asked for him will be nothing by PSG and himself accept to reduce his salary, otherwise it will be a huge loss for any team willing to get him especially with his injuries and his special attitude.. For Messi, things are different although his age. Regardless how good he will play, any team will try to pick him even for marketing purposes.
Back to Ligue 1, Lille were able to beat Ajaccio with 3 goals to 0 since the first half. They consolidated their 5th place for the moment. |

From all sides, Barcelona is indeed superior to Real Betis which allowed them to dominate the match and win it easily, especially with a score of 4 _ 0. Cristensen's goal in the 14th minute really opened the next goal more easily. Especially as a result of the red card that Real Betis got, this made things worse and their performance because they were playing with only 10 people.
Barcelona players are better than Betis for sure but that doesn't mean they are as easy as getting 4 goals to 0! The red card certainly had a big effect especially that it was taken in the early stage of the game.. Lewandowski scored a goal in this game which is good to see. For Real Madrid, they followed Barcelona by winning their game too vs Almeria with 4 goals but they received 2 goals. The defence line of Barcelona remains the best this season. |

Dortmund is not very okay this season to win the league.
Bayern Munich are throwing points to let Dortmund win the title and Dortmund are replying gently by losing points so Bayern can win the Bundesliga title again and again. Good gentlemen there  Bayern Munich will play against Hertha, I can't imagine them losing that game! In today's game and after 1/3 of matches being played, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Leipzig are leading with 1 goal in their games and Union 0 - 0 Leverkusen for the moment. |

Early lead hurts when you do not know how to defend it
Palace are already with the lead at halftime and extra time also added
West Ham look so poor in midfied. The substitute Benrahma have been found on the edge since he came on, he is having no effect
Olise, Eze and Ayew did great 1-2's there, the penalty was worth giving
Crystal Palace 4 - 3 West Ham. The first goal was scored by WHU then Crystal Palace scored 3 before every team added a goal each time. Crystal Palace pushed for the win and West Ham remained 5 points away from the relegation zone. Manchester City have big chances of winning Premier league , the remaining games is not what will be hard for them to win. At this point of time Manchester City have this winning mentality, winning is now a tradition for them, they can be able to win most of the game to win Premier league.
Arsenal successive defeats are hurtful and made them almost losing EPL title. It is still a bit early to judge but City seems to be the most favourite to win EPL this season too. |

As roma (2.60) vs AC milan (2.95)
I don't even know what was the reason for bookies to favoring as roma more than ac milan at this moment. Ac milan got very good odds caused by it was almost touching three. I will prefer to take ac imlan to win the match. Im sure that if leao will help the club to win against as roma.
There isn't a big difference between the two clubs and the odds are close which means everything could happen there. Roma will be playing home, that's the main advantage in my opinion. Otherwise both clubs aren't that stable. I will not back any team although I find Milan slightly better. Intermilan (1.81) vs Lazio (4.60)
It seems like that bookies were taking the previous match from lazio as bench mark to determine the odds for lazio. Intermilan will be preferable in this match but i think that lazio can comeback anytime. it will be so hard to pick which team that potentially win this match.
Intermilan will be playing away against lazio. This gives intermilan more advantage compared with lazio.
You mean Inter will play home in San Siro which make them advantageous compared to Lazio. If Lazio lose this game and Napoli beat Salernitana then Napoli will be 1 point away to be declared champion in Serie A. |

Well said, but I think that even though Arsenal was leading the table, Manchester City has been the better team throughout. When it comes down to this one single situation, everyone would bet on Manchester City. This year is their year and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they take home all three titles. Of course they can lose a game, but bottom line is that they are the strongest soccer team right now.
At this point I think Manchester City have no excuses to not lift trophies. They are the best team in EPL although the failure moments they had. After Arsenal successive points loss, City could easily reverse them and lead to the end. In Champions League they are the best, even Real Madrid are suffering a lot to keep winning there. With the recent injuries there Madrid, it will make City's life easier. In FA Cup, they will face United in June 3.. They will have more times for preparation |

The title was very far from sight for Dortmund in the winter break. I can remember that Bayern's lead was even something like 8 points in the long run. But Bayern then failed to win a few times in a row and also lost a game here and there. Perhaps the best thing about Dortmund is that they might become champions without Haaland and they have also had to miss Haaler for a large part since his arrival. But Schalke04 was also almost buried, but managed to fight back and now have it in their own hands to stay in it. Even Augsburg and Hoffenheim are not completely safe either. In a few games we can have a completely different position. Schalke could also be last, but I honestly don't expect that.
At that point, few months back, no one expected to see Dortmund leading the table, they were losing many points. Same goes for Leipzig, they weren't fighting for any European competition spot if I am not mistaken but here they are in the 5th spot. Both teams, Dortmund and Leipzig, are in a fragile situation. Dortmund are only 1 point away from Bayern Munich and have to win all its remaining games to guarantee the first place. Leipzig aren't secure from losing its spot nor convincing to pick a Champions League one Freiburg or Union yet. |

Fiorentina Cremonese is going for the second spot in the final of the Serie A against Inter.
They are still 0-0 at 20 minutes to the end but Fiorentina won 2-0 in the 1st leg.
The match ended and nothing changed in terms of aggregate considering their score also didn't change in this match. In fact this is something that seems certain but it is quite unfortunate that Fiorentina is in control in terms of shots but their on target in this match is very minimal. 13 shots and only 1 on target is too boring to watch actually. Fiorentina already killed the second leg match since the first leg when they scored 2 goals without receiving any in an away game. In today's game they were playing home, less stressed, just requiring to keep a clean sheet in order to pass. No big hassle, they passed successfully to the final game vs Inter which will be challenging in Rome. |

Strasbourg - Lyon will be played tomorrow with odds that aren't that far so quite interesting. Lyon are favourite and Strasbourg have the home advantage.
Clermont - Reims is the second game that seems to be quite difficult to guess in Ligue 1 this round. Reims are slightly advantageous otherwise in the other matches there is a clear favourite as I see.

Valencia also won the match again and moved away from the relegation line a little bit. Even the prospect of their relegation was frightening for such an established club. I hope they get over these bad days soon.
Valencia and Sevilla before have nothing to do with the relegation zone and their presence their was a big mistake made by them. Fortunately they recovered and get a bit away. Sevilla position is better while Valencia aren't that secure with only 2 points difference between them and Getafe in the 18th position. Valencia will have hard times vs opponents like Villarreal, Real Madrid and Real Betis mainly among the seven remaining opponents. Nothing is guaranteed there. |

Tottenham (2) vs (2) Manchester United
During the second half, despite Manchester United controlling the ball more frequently, their attacks weakened and struggled to penetrate Tottenham's defense. Even Casemiro's heading, which should have been maximized into a goal, was wasted in vain.
In the second half, I preferred Tottenham's game play, which appeared more effective and slightly more developed, particularly their long-ball strategies.
Manchester United overall performance is getting lower over time and during the latest games. In today's game vs Spurs, they were leading with 2 goals in the first half then things went bad in the second half with Spurs scoring 2 goals to get the draw. Spurs suffered bad defeats before that match, yet they managed to get 1 point from their direct rival, ManU. Right now, it seems that Champions League spots will remain between the actual first four teams. |
