Lille won the game with consecutive goals in the second half after being down in the first half.Montpellier scored on their only shot on target while it was Lille who dominated the match.The home team dominated the game and deserved to win.With this win, Lille increased their points to 55 and remained in 5th place.Lille's goals were scored by cabella and jonathan david.
Pretty sweet comeback from Lille with 2 very quick goals this week. But indeed something like this deserved to happen especially with the condition they were in control of the match especially with their 17 shots which left Montpellier a little overwhelmed. To be honest, Montpellier's defense in this match was quite good especially with their goalkeeper who was very busy but their focus faltered in the 70th minute which made them also fail to come back after 1 minute after Remmy Cabella managed to score the winning goal. |

If Atalanta manage to win against Fiorentina today then this is going to be really bad for Juventus. Because the gap between in the standings will be 7 points and it will be much more difficult for Juventus to keep up for a spot in the Europa Conference League. I might understand the loss against Lazio a little despite that bad performance but Juventus shouldn't have played that much bad against Sassuolo which led to another loss. They just gave many chances to Atalanta to get away from them more.
However right now Fiorentina look like the better playing side against Atalanta. If they increase the level of pressure in the second half then they can manage to turn the match around. But actually Fiorentina don't have much goal left for this season so I still doubt that possible comeback. But who knows maybe they can do this anyway thanks to their amazing form in the recent times.
Fiorentina dominated the match and they even had more chances than Atalanta, but it was the visitors, Atalanta, who could score. If the game goes like the first half, I think Fiorentina will be able to equalize. On the other hand, Atalanta must improve their performance in the second half, they must be able to come up with a fresher strategy, and making several substitutions seems to be a good choice to make them improve in the second half later. The coach must be able to bring out his ability to read the game. Now the score has changed again after Fiorentina leveled the score even from the penalty box. Now the minutes have entered a crucial time and of course this is a little bad for Atalanta because they have to focus more, especially since the pressure on Fiorentina is still very large and their dominance in this match is quite strong. I do not rule out the possibility that this will still be a draw, especially with the discipline of Atalanta's players in defense and the condition of Fiorentina, who are having a little difficulty in finishing. |

Manchester United are now looking to win the Europa League title, while a good performance in every Premier League match is crucial as they look to qualify for the Champions League. And so it is not easy to consistently perform well in every match at both venues. On the other hand, Sevilla's only goal is to perform well in the Europa League.
Another reason for Sevilla's lead in the second leg is their home match. Players are more confident in home matches. As a result, their performance is somewhat stable. However, Manchester United is not a weak team now. The match between Sevilla and United is expected to be very competitive.
The interesting fact between Sevilla and Manchester United is Manchester United never beat Sevilla until now, Sevilla have beat Manchester United 3 times and have draw in 2 match. This time Manchester United should everyone wrong by beat Sevilla, with their current performance I'm sure Manchester United should win. The moneyline odds Manchester United to win is quite high for @2.10, this is a worthy bet in Europa League. Yep and the last time Manchester United won was in 2006 and it's been a very long time if we look at history after that they always failed to face Sevilla. Actually the first leg they should have been able to break it up but it was very difficult for them because the game ended in a draw. but for now they still have a chance, it's just that Sevilla must be confident enough and it's just a matter of seeing whether Manchester United can break the series of bad results when facing Sevilla or not in the second leg later. |

It is weird to see that Barcelona hasn't scored a single goal in the last three matches. Now against Real Madrid they got destroyed, but in La Liga not scoring at all is bad also for the other teams. That comes even close to a distortion of the competition. I think that Lewandowski is past his peak. 17 goals in 29 games is an average performance especially when you play for Barcelona. He does have seven assists as well and that might still make him valuable, but I am sure that more was expected from him. They are out of the Copa and no more international tournaments and then I would expect that they take responsibility and play the best they can. Even the La Liga title is only average when they keep playing like this. It is not fun to watch their games at all these days. Their defense is great of course, but scoring less than two goals on average per game is weak.
Usually when Barcelona is like this there is Pedri who is always the differentiator and gives goals for Barcelona when other players cannot do it but when Pedri is not in the squad they are like a dead end. They have a lot of chances in the 3 matches they have run (2 La Liga & 1 Copa Del Rey) but their on target is quite bad which makes it very difficult for them to convert chances into goals. Maybe the coach thought that only relying on Robert Lewandowski in the position of the attacking team was enough to score goals, but in reality, until the last half, Robert Lewandowski was unable to score, even though he had tried several times up to 15 attempts to shoot at goal but could not score at all. Xavi must consider a better strategy and must not let the score always draw. I don't think so, the conditions are a bit unfavorable for Xavi because indeed some of their core players cannot play for now due to some not being fit so indeed they can only maximize some of the existing players while creating several opportunities for other young players to gain trust and minutes play. When the players come back everything will go back to the way it was I think because it's impossible for Xavi to also continue to give chances when they still want certain things for La Liga. |

Juventus lost too, they played with second-line players to save them for the following week where they will find,
2nd leg Europa League, Napoli, and Inter in 7 days.
It seems that indeed deciding to rest many players in this match did not go well for Juventus. This result has actually made their position unchanged and the chance for the top 4 is still there but it's still quite unfortunate when they have to drop points this week. Now their focus is still on the quarter-finals of the Europa League, even though it's good, it would be even better if in the match they get points. |

At first, I thought Man United would win easily. But it turns out that I was very wrong. The exit of Martinez, and Varane made United weak. Two own goals made them even more difficult. Fortunately, at this time the knockout phase does not recognize home or away goals, but it is still a tough task for Man United to win in Spain. In addition to injuries, Ten Hag must be dizzy with card accumulation. It is certain that they will be without Bruno in the second leg. Moreover, they have to be busy in the EPL and FA.
To face Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium next week, coach Erik ten Hag needs to prepare an alternative strategy to make the opponent surrender and dominate the match. At least the ten Hags understand how Sevilla play yesterday in match 1 Even though Manchester United did not perform as expected yesterday, I am still optimistic that Manchester United will qualify for the semifinals Ten Hag also have to really consider when they change schemes and substitutions because this can have a big effect just like the first leg when they try to change to be more defensive and some substitutions not to push players too much in the end this is a loss for them. Now there are several players who are indicated unable to play as well and of course he has to rack his brain for this. |

Incredible, Inter lost with Monza.
Again it is a race for between Milan and INTER to be stay out form the next Champions League.
If Inter win the Champions League and Milan finish second then both clubs will be there. The question is, can Inter do it? When I look at their stats in Serie A, I wonder how they got so far in the Champions League. The bookies are now giving their odds at 1 to 8, a rather modest estimate given that Inter are on the easy side of the road to the final. Conditions for the current Semi final for Inter still looks quite real but when talking about the champions it is still a little complicated because besides the semi final they will face the Derby also with a team in the same league on the other hand for the chart on the other side it is still a little complicated because Of course now Manchester City and Madrid are strong candidates for the other side for the final which makes me very doubtful even for the semi final also I'm actually still fifty-fifty with Inter. |

It seems that not many people choose Cremonese to win the match against Empoli, because usually the team that is in a better position will of course be the favourite. But at this moment Empoli, whose position is better than Cremonese, in fact Empoli did not manage to score a goal in this match against Cremonese.
Meanwhile, Cremonese's goal came in the 4th minute which, of course, was plenty of time for Empoli to be able to make a lot of goal attempts. But yes, in the end Cremonese managed to maintain their lead in the 4th minute until the final whistle sounded and the score remained 1-0 in favor of Cremonese.
I was in neither of those matches but I wanted to be at Empoli before but made my mind up there and luckily it didn't. Conditions were indeed a bit favorable for Empoli before the game even though they played away but it was quite surprising with Dessers' quick goal in the 4th minute to destroy Empoli who actually played quite well, it's just that they were bad at finishing. |

That's right, the main reason I doubt Leverkusen enough to win in the first leg is that Gilloise was able to hold Union Berlin in the first leg of the round of 16 and in the end Gilloise eliminated Union Berlin in the second leg. Will the same thing be repeated? considering that Gilloise's opponent was a German team again in this quarter-final round. But another thing that could be exciting is that Leverkusen can turn things around at Gilloise's cage and at the same time break Gilloise's advantage over the German team later.
But indeed this is quite another surprise for the Europa League. Last season there were Rangers and now there is Union Saint which is indeed quite interesting in terms of performance. Even though in terms of their condition they are at a league level which is actually quite different but in terms of their game they don't seem to hesitate and always show their best, even if they don't lose in the last 10 minutes this could be a win for them. Maybe in the second leg I will take the time to watch them after in the previous matches only the highlights and livescore. |

This is, of course, something we don’t see happen regularly. This is also something that no squad actually wants to see happen.
I do not know what happened on the field which made Sadio Mané punch his teammate. Sadio Mané is generally a good character.
There must have been some reason. But of course, I hardly think that whatever the reason is, it is not going to justify Sadio Mané trying to be Muhammad Ali. He is also not happy in the club as well.
There was high tension from the game and indeed there will be some rifts where some reports say that the dispute between Mane and Sane started from Mane's dissatisfaction with Sane's way of playing. There have now been several penalties in the news such as Mane's omission from the squad for the Bundesliga this week. I think if the situation is further away then it is not impossible that there will be several other conditions of punishment, especially since we know that Tuchel is a coach who is quite disciplined. |

After yesterday's defeat, fortunately Bayern will only face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga match tomorrow, it's not too difficult and doesn't take a lot of energy. So coach Thomas Tuchel can prepare the conditions for Bayern players to be able to play optimally in the 2nd match of the UCL quarter-finals.
Tuchel must be able to convince his players to lock Erling Haaland's movements, because he is Manchester City's goal machine.
Well, this can actually be used as a warm-up before they actually welcome Manchester City to the Alianz Arena now. Bayern's condition is very possible with 3 points and odds of 1.21 also in this match is proof that they are very favorites in this match. Hoffenheim's condition in the last few games is actually quite good but I think when the opponent is Bayern it's clear the story will be different in this regard. |

Manchester - Sevilla match ended 2-2 the match ended in a draw.. Sabitzer, who played on loan and returned to Bayer Munich, was great, but it wasn't enough. He scored two goals, he scored very good goals with his left foot. In the second half, Manchester united were even more eager, they tried hard for the third goal. Antohny had a shot on the post. What happened after that Manchester united was not enough, they also scored two own goals. Harry Maguire did something generic as always. This time he scored with a good head.
This is really like the peak of comedy where Sabitzer gallantly scored a brace within 7 minutes of the first half and was immediately equalized by 2 own goals created by Malacia and Maguire within 8 minutes. This really hampered especially in this match many people lost their bets because of the result that Manchester United received. |

They are not in a good situation this season in Chelsea which is a good reason to say Real Madrid can easily win this game against Chelsea but just a few weeks ago when Chelsea was performing badly in the premier league they beat Drttmound while I was thinking Dround can easily win that game against Chelsea, but this time Real Madrid scored two goals in the first leg which can help them a lot pass this stage.
Real Madrid will certainly play more comfortably in the second leg later. And vice versa Chelsea will have a more difficult match in the second leg. because Chelsea had to catch up with 2 goals in the first leg. and I think we could have said earlier that Real Madrid were one step ahead to qualify for the semi-finals. because even a draw in the second leg also led Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. I don't see any surprises in the second leg later. but Chelsea's performance in the first leg yesterday was also not too bad. joao felix and the Chelsea forward did quite well. but yeah, Chelsea struggled to get out of the pressure that Real Madrid continued to build throughout the match. Well, regardless of what the conditions of Chelsea and Madrid will not change now because you can see from Chelsea's current condition they are like leaving this competition even though the second leg has not been played yet. They still have a lot of gaps on every front. even though the midfield and wings are still quite good but their finishing is also bad. Now I think the aggregate advantage of 2 goals will actually increase for the second leg later even though they will be playing at Stampord Bridge. |

The first half ended with a score of 1 goal for each game.
It just looks like a prediction for Madrid but not so much for Napoli as now they are having back problems.
They were without Osimhen still a little lost, even though there were several good chances in this first half but it was a shame that Milan stole the goal 5 minutes towards the end of the first half.

Sevilla owns good records in the Europa League than Manchester United, but I don't believe in the past. I believe in the present and future. I know Eric Ten Hag wouldn't want to miss this golden chance of writing his name as one of the best coaches in Manchester United. He has worked hard for it he deserves to end well by winning this title. I have little worries about Sevilla, but I'm even more worried about Juventus as I know they might be so dangerous cuz winning the Europa League is their only way of competing in the next season champion league
Manchester United having won Barcelona, Real Betis who are top teams in the La Liga, the can still do same against Sevilla who is still struggling to find a position in their domestic league table. Ten Hag has given in so much to change things towards the positive light for Manchester United. I believe they can win by aggregate against Sevilla i am beginning to have some level of trust in Ten Hag's strategy. Manchester United's slick performance convinced me, especially in this case when facing a club from Spain, of course they already have a reference there, especially by previously defeating two clubs, which at the moment can be said to be quite good for La Liga. With Sevilla's current performance I think the odds of 1.40 for Manchester United are still very decent. |

ahead of the second leg, Inter will play Monza, it looks like they will save energy for the second leg against Benfica. Yes, Monza are a team that are no better than Inter, so I think Simone Inzaghi will rotate some players to prepare for the second leg. They now only have to focus on how to secure a position in the second leg later. This can obviously save you when talking about Monza because even if they are good enough for a debut club in Serie A, the conditions are clearly quite different from Inter. but on the other hand of course Inter also have to get points to improve their condition which has not been going well lately. |

Schalke and Hertha Berlin will play against each other at Friday. An important game for both clubs. Each winner can put the other on distance. A draw will not help anyone because then they would remain at place 17 and 18.
Stuttgart will play against Dortmund and Bochum against Union Berlin. Both clubs from the bottom of the table will probably lose their games.
Schalke or Hertha Berlin could therefore manage to move up to place 16.
For matches at the bottom of the standings like this it is actually quite difficult to predict who will win because indeed both of them will definitely have ambitions, but on the other hand performance is also certainly decisive in this case. The condition of both of the last 5 matches did not really show anything good. But on the other hand, actually matches like this are always a lot of opportunities created and I will watch this even without betting there. |

Dortmund's condition in the league could have been much better than this actually. But they just lost so many matches so far otherwise they have only 2 draws.
They could have even been quite ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings. But things are still going fine for Dortmund now. Of course it wasn't good for them to lose to Bayern Munich recently but their performance was really bad at defending. There was no way they were going to get any point in that match. Dortmund will still hope for Bayern Munich to make a mistake at some point. Bayern Munich are focused on the Champions League also. If they even get bad results then maybe it can affect them in a bad way mentally.
After Dortmund lost the game against Chelsea and lost the Champions League, now Bayern Mucni as the first team on the table lost the game against another team in the premier league these two teams are not in the same situation and both are just racing the or Bundesliga title ut since Bayern Munich had a bad day against Manchester City in champions leag which can have a negative effect on them I see more chance for Dortmund in this season. I think even though this is a pretty heavy defeat, it doesn't mean it's over for Bayern. Even though it will definitely be difficult for Leg 2 with a margin of 3 goals there but still the chance is still there so for now it would be very funny if they gave up halfway, at least even if they couldn't in the end they still had to try until the end. |

Milan had better improve this performance to keep themselves in top four until the end of the season. Because they are most likely to be eliminated in the Champions League sooner or later. They need to focus on joining the Champions League with the help of their place in the Serie A.
Milan aren't that good lately, they got only 5 points in the last 5 matches for example. Their defence line isn't the best in top 4. Since Inter and Atalanta aren't in their best form then they could be safe, otherwise Juve is still many points behind and will require a lot of time to catch up.. Inter Milan is not my favorite team at all no matter how they get the points to be at the top of the table in fact, they have poor performance in any game they have and they mostly can't even have a complete build-up in-game and mostly they try to have defensive playing style they seriously have problems in finishing attacking line. For now it's actually quite funny when talking about clubs other than Napoli to be top of the table because that's something that will never happen this season. But with the current conditions actually for Milan not to have a chance there but to focus on securing its position in the top 4. Forget the Serie A trophy because it is no longer available. |
