It will be a very interesting game, because both teams are in very good form now. Inter are probably even better than last season in the Champions League and I think they can be in the final again next year. Atletico Madrid are definitely unlucky that they will play against Inter.
This could indeed be possible for Atletico Madrid, but for now such an assumption is still too early because if Atletico Madrid is able to get better players in January, there might be a big change in their playing pattern in the Champions League later. Likewise with Inter Milan, because apart from having to be able to keep its core players from getting injured, Inter Milan also has to be able to target some of the best players in the transfer market in order to increase their strength this season.

In my consideration about Inter and Atletico, it seems that Inter and Atletico have qualities that are not much different and thus, at least Inter and Atletico still have a chance to qualify too. Although it is true, there will be a transfer window in January but ya, I think bringing in new players and perhaps some old players leaving will also have an impact on the team's performance and does not guarantee that it will be completely better.

After all, basically Inter and Atletico are top teams so of course, no one is really guaranteed to qualify because it would be very inappropriate if we underestimated one of them. After all, Inter and Atletico are also both focused on their respective league standings, so basically their situations are not much different.

Lets see how they comeback from this break, Girona needs to keep focus at 100% and dont let some realx make them lose this path. They know they are against a team who is gonna win the 80% of the games ,and no matter how, and im talking about Real Madrid, we can see the last game, with one men less in the whole game and ended up winning 1-0 in the last ball.

Although at least I also hope that Girona will get the La Liga trophy but yes, it will still be difficult for Girona because of course Real Madrid has a bigger chance of succeeding in getting the La Liga trophy this season . So yes, no matter how much Girona tries to maintain its position at the top of the La Liga standings, in the end Real Madrid will always succeed in overtaking and taking over the top position in the La Liga standings.

Moreover, teams like Barcelona and Atletico are usually rival teams in the race for the title, in fact at this moment Barcelona and Atletico have been left behind by Real Madrid and Girona. Therefore, because at this moment there are no strong competitors for Real Madrid in the race for the title then yes, of course Real Madrid will succeed in being at the top of the La Liga standings until the end of this season.

Juventus is not a typical defensive team and they are much more attacking than Roma. We all know that this is an important opportunity for Juventus to immediately overtake Inter from the top of the standings and they don't have time to provide more defense than attack. Allegri knows what his team has to do in the next match and they will aim for full points rather than just one point against Roma.

I'm sure Juventus can do it, especially if Roma concedes first then that could be a strong signal that Juventus will win and will even score another goal. Roma will not be able to withstand Juventus' attacks even though they are known for their strong defense and it seems the results are already visible with the readiness of each of these teams.

They're the best defending club in all of La Liga this season, I don't know where you got this news from. If they can hold down the highest goal scorer for As Roma ( Romelu Lukaku ) then they can win that game since Dusan Vlahovic has begin to score goals back for Juventus. He currently has a total of six goals score in the league while Lukaku has eight goals scored. They're two of the hottest players to look out for during that game.

Inter Milan are on another level, I don't see them declining, they're rather improving. Expecting a rise of Juventus could happen but Inter Milan have to lose a game or two before that happens. They remain the best attacking side in all of Seria A.
A team with Jose Mourinho can't be underrated, well, we'll see what happens.

For me, the quality of Juventus attacks this season is not completely good even though yes, Vlahovic has a total of 6 goals in Serie A so far but still, Vlahovic position in the top scorer list is not good at all. Even though it is true, at this moment Juventus is in 2nd place in the Serie A standings, becoming a competitor for Inter who is at the top of the Serie A standings. But in reality, Juventus does not have as good a total of goals as Inter at this moment in Serie A.

Therefore, because Juventus does not have high aggressiveness in scoring goals, of course it will still be difficult for Juventus to beat AS Roma in this match. At least, we can also consider the head to head results of Juventus v AS Roma, in fact the score obtained is also more often get the win only by a narrow score and maybe even a draw. With considerations like that then ya, I personally not completely sure that Juventus will win at home match against AS Roma.

In today's Everton vs Manchester city match, Jack Harrison scores a tap in assisted by McNeil in the 29th minute but then Phil Foden ties the score board in the 53rd minute with an absolute rocket from twenty five yards out. Then in the 64th minute, Manchester City is awarded with a penalty that Julian Alvarez takes and scores. Then Bernado Silva scores a shot from right outside the box in the 89th minute. Man City took the win which I knew that the probability was high since Man City is a power house.   

Even though Manchester City really dominated this match but ya, at least Everton still managed to win at half time with a score of 1-0. At least Everton results in half time were not bad at all but unfortunately, Everton was unable to maintain the victory they had because ya, in the end Everton still lost . But ya,even though Everton lost, of course this result is still a normal result because after all, it is clear that Manchester City is still projected to win even though they are playing away in this match

But at least, a hope Manchester City victory is not as big as this because ya, at least Everton at this moment experienced a slight improvement in performance . Therefore, I think Everton can hold Manchester City even if Everton lose, but maybe Manchester City only wins with a difference of one goal but what happens is Manchester City still wins with a big score.

Al Ettifaq will face the team that is at the bottom of the standings, namely Al Hazm, this should not be a match that will make it difficult for Al Ettifaq to get 3 points, and this victory will slightly reduce the disappointment for Al Ettifaq who in the last five matches was only able to get 2 points. making them only able to be in 9th place, which is below several teams which are dominated by local players.

However, the last match this year that is very likely to be interesting is Al Nassr vs Al Taawon. Al Taawon was a team that appeared surprising at the start of the season but slowly their position continued to decline. Al Nassr is still the favorite team to win but Al Taawon still has a chance because they beat their opponent in the match at the start of the season.

I really don't understand why Gerrard still fails to make Al Ettifaq have good results even though yes, at least Al Ettifaq has a good squad too and some of them are even top European players. Because after all, playing at home against a team ranked at the bottom of the Saudi Pro League standings, in reality Al Ettifaq still failed to win because the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Obviously this is a bad result for Al Ettifaq and also for Gerrard who has still failed to provide good results and performance for Al Ettifaq this season.

But regarding the match between Al Taawon v Al Nassr, it is clear that this will be an interesting match because yes, Al Taawon is basically not the top and also not seeded team but in reality Al Taawon has managed to compete in the top zone in the Saudi Pro League standings this moment. And even, Al Taawon looks better than Al Ittihad and Al Ettifaq this moment but even so, it looks like Al Nassr will still have a good chance of winning this match.

Real Sociedad is PSG's main focus at the moment, even though this match is still quite long, PSG must prepare a strategy carefully because their opponent is not an easy opponent unlike against teams from their league.
I agree with what you said. For now PSG can focus on the match against Real Sociedad in the Champions League because the match in Ligue 1 might not be too difficult for them. It is very important to get points in the first leg because it will give the team a greater chance of qualifying for the next round. Sociedad is not an easy opponent for PSG because of course, even though they are only ranked 6th, they are on a different level to several clubs in Ligue 1.

Real Sociedad is not a threat team for PSG in the 16th round of the Champions League because ya, basically PSG still has better quality compared to Real Sociedad. It doesn't matter about Real Sociedad won group D in the Champions League group phase, beating Inter and Benfica because after all, the team in the group with PSG is clearly more difficult because it is also said to be a hell group.

So yes, it seems strange if PSG should put a high focus just to play against Real Sociedad because ya, of course on paper PSG can be sure to win against Real Sociedad later. Therefore, then of course PSG will still remain focused also in Ligue 1, because of course Ligue 1 is the first priority for PSG to get the trophy every season.

No doubt that even jose has been also telling us the club if xabi will become another great coach in the future. The ability to push the relegation team to perform like the winning team is so amazing.
It's rarely owned by any coaches in the football.
I remember hearing how much Jose Mourinho could be said to admire this young coach and predicted that he would become one of the successful coaches in the future, considering that he played in several clubs coached by quite successful coaches so that Xabi Alonso could be said to be quite rich in strategy and we can see how he was able to bring his squad so far into a team that is very consistent and can quickly recover when they experience unfavorable results such as a draw so that they become a team that can always ensure themselves to get points. After successfully holding strong opponents Bayern Munich and Stuttgart to a draw, in the eighteenth week they will face Leipzig. If Bayer Leverkusen can face this tough match well, Bayer Leverkusen will have more opportunities to become Bundesliga champions.


But indeed, from the information I got, at least Bayer Leverkusen will not stop Xabi Alonso from leaving and with a statement like that, it is very possible that Xabi Alonso will leave at the end of the season and the strong issue is coaching Real Madrid because Ancelotti is certain to leave too . Thus, it is appropriate for Bayer Leverkusen to maximize the moments this season to win trophies.

Indeed, getting a trophy is not easy because it requires high consistency . But ya, at least because so far in the first half of the season Bayer Leverkusen have managed to go unbeaten . So ya, with great results like that, it is an obligation for Bayer Leverkusen to be able to maintain its good performance, of course to maintain its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end of this season.

The last match of Girona against Real Betis was actually what surprised me and the reason Real Madrid is at the top of the table again. Girona was supposed to win the match and not settle for a 1:1 draw. Now that Real Madrid is at the top, it will be difficult for them to leave that position unless they become distracted by their champions league matches.
Real Betis broke Girona's unbeaten record from their last five matches, Real Betis played very aggressively plus they played at home of course getting full support from supporters, most likely this is the end of Girona's journey in dominating LaLiga this season, it could be in the next meeting against  Atletico Madrid, Girona suffered defeat for the first time, so far they have not been defeated in their last five matches, hopefully Atletico Madrid can beat them..

Having a 7 point gap in the current La Liga standings then yes, of course Atletico are ambitious to be able to beat Girona. Although indeed, in reality Atletico will also play away but yes, I am sure playing away does not make Atletico weak. Because anyway, basically Atletico also still have better quality than Girona and also, at least Atletico have a good head to head record too.

But indeed, at least with the current situation, of course Girona and Atletico also have great ambitions to win . Therefore, this match will still be interesting maybe both teams will be able to make goals in this match, so both teams have the same chance to win and that is evident from the odds available also do not have a big gap.
1749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 28, 2023, 03:13:21 PM
technically both Roma and Juventus play a very defensive scheme, the differences in the two teams are the players and Juventus has technically stronger players. it won't be an easy match for both and we are unlikely to see many goals. the different ambitions of the two teams will give rise to a great challenge
Roma has the ability to defend and Juventus is much stronger in defense and attack and technically this is what makes Juventus probably quite the favorite to come out on top. But for Jose Mourinho, this match will feel quite important because they are fighting to climb into the top five of the standings and a win or draw against Juventus will add great motivation to them.

AS Roma is three points behind Bologna who is ranked fourth and two points behind Fiorentina. So a win or draw against Juventus will create an opportunity for AS Roma to catch up on the points left behind by the two teams.

But indeed, I also agree about Juventus and AS Roma have a style of play that prioritizes defense, so it is very possible that this match will also end in a goalless draw like 0-0. But maybe, if one of them manages to win but still, the final score will not be big and maybe they will only get a low final score such as 1-0 or at least only win with a difference of one goal.

Because after all, considering they have a good defense then ya, if one of them manages to score a goal first then the team will only focus on defending. At least I'm pretty sure a scenario like this is likely to happen, considering they don't have the high productivity to win with a big score.

This game is mega important for Arsenal and I'm sure the lads will find a way to win , take 3 vital points and also take 1st position in EPL who in my opinion will be a deserved one for them after what we saw from Arsenal's games so far.

The other game , Brighton vs Spurs could be a draw with both teams to score or it could be a Spurs victory but also with both teams to score.  Grin

Basically Arsenal have a good head to head record too when Arsenal play against West Ham and moreover, at this moment at least Arsenal also still have a good trend for home matches . Because after all, Arsenal are also still unbeaten for home matches so far this season and at the same time, at least Arsenal are still focused on fighting for the Premier League title.

So yes, having a 10 point difference between Arsenal and West Ham then ya, it looks like Arsenal will still have a better chance of winning in this match.

But about for the match between Brighton v Tottenham, I think Brighton and Tottenham both have a chance to win . Because ya, in fact they also have results that are still quite good for home and away matches so far this season. Therefore, I believe any results in this match will certainly still be able to happen whether the home team or away team wins or only ends in a draw.

But yes, what is clear is that this match will end of course with both teams to score, because Brighton and Tottenham so far this season also look to have good productivity in making goals.

I'm getting more and more curious about what will happen in Leverkusen's matches, yes their impressive performances make me wait for every match they will play, be it in the domestic league, or in the European arena. It's true, when a club is in such good form it makes them a lot to look forward to, and the most important thing is that this is the season when they have the chance to break the dominance of a club that has been very dificult to stop.
One thing we can't forget is their current coach. Although he is still quite new to the world of coaching and does not have much experience, he has a very interesting strategy. And what's more interesting is that he brought this club from a difficult time at the time, and is now in a very good situation to win the title.

Apart from that, Xabi Alonso managed to make new history for Bayer Leverkusen, of course the history of being undefeated is clearly an extraordinary achievement. Although indeed, there is still no guarantee for Xabi Alonso to win the title for Bayer Leverkusen, but yes, at least Xabi has succeeded in making new history for the team and this achievement is an extraordinary achievement too, of course.

But indeed, because Bayer Leverkusen managed to go undefeated, we are at least looking forward to the matches that Bayer Leverkusen will play in the future. Maybe also, looking forward to what kind of match and/or opponent will succeed in making Bayer Leverksuen suffer its first defeat this season. But yes, because Bayer Leverkusen is still consistent then yes, at least I personally will continue to take advantage of this moment to involve Bayer Leverkusen in betting every time Bayer Leverkusen plays.

Xavi is in one of his worst situation since he is the coch of Barcelona team, because in the others seasons he was a solid number 1 in the league, but now he only have a chance to fight on UCL and we already know they are not solid to fight for that.

I think Barca are still doing good. Yes, I agree that they are far behind than Real Madrid and Girona with 7 points but it is also important to see that there is still lot of matches remaining in LaLiga and if Barca finds their consistency and both Madrid and Girona or one of them drops points then they will be either 2nd or 3rd easily and I think that's still a good achievement. Even in CL they have done well and move on to the next stage so I think so far Xavi has done a decent job.

There is always a rough patch in a clubs run so it is normal. We have yet to see how they perform next.
As long as Barcelona doesn't leave the top of the standings then it could be said they are in a pretty good situation. Of course, we all really criticize their poor results, but that is the challenge they have to face. As long as they can survive and rise, the opportunity to compete to win the title is wide open. Maybe Xavi can give more precise direction to his players and not always use monotonous tactics.

Yes indeed, the point is that Barcelona will not lose their top four position in La Liga and with that, then ofcourse Barcelona will still be able to finish in the top four this season . But even so, I personally will not consider the title for Barcelona this season because ya, I think this season Barcelona is just trying hard to stay in the top four so as not to get out of that position.

Also for the chance that Barcelona has in the Champions League, for me Barcelona still has a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals . Because ya, at least Barcelona have a chance to beat Napoli in the last 16 and thus, Barcelona have a chance to qualify. But for Barcelona chances in the quarter-finals later, which of course will get more difficult opponents then yes, it is unlikely that Barcelona will go further there.
1753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 27, 2023, 07:18:37 PM
Inter Milan get an easier opponent than their closest competitors in the standings, because Inter Milan will face Genoa. Although their status in this match is a guest team, but that doesn't have a big effect because the difference between the two is also very significant in terms of strength, so in my opinion Inter Milan will be able to win this match easily.
Genoa itself is now in 13th place in the standings and has felt 8 defeats from 17 matches they have played. That is a record that is not comparable to what Inter Milan achieved. There is no reason for Inter Milan to lose this match, they have everything and they must be able to utilize it very well.

Obviously, because apart from that, the fact is that Inter are still unbeaten in away matches so far this season in Serie A. So yes, it would be very inappropriate for Inter to give up here because after all, Genoa is not a team that can provide a big obstacle for the top Serie A team. Therefore, I personally do not hesitate to keep betting on Inter victory in this match, because of course Inter will maximize the match to keep getting three points to strengthen its position also at the top of the Serie A standings.

Because, in reality, Juventus also have to play against AS Roma this weekend. Even though it is possible that Juventus will still be the favorite because they are playing at home, at least playing against AS Roma is certainly not easy for Juventus. Moreover, basically Juventus performance is still not completely stable so there is no strong guarantee for Juventus to win against AS Roma later.

Manchester City have to make up the points gap with Arsenal and Liverpool, so I think they will play this match to the best of their ability. Everton's advantage is playing at home, while Manchester City is still missing several players due to injury. Pep Guardiola knows what he has to do in this match, so I think he will win this match after dropping a lot of points in his last few matches.

Doku, Haaland and Rodri are reported to be doubtful but I think still City has got the density with quality players in their squad and should able to score goals today. Everton have been a tough opponent in past few games but City are really far ahead in front of them and Guardiola can really build a match winning squad still out of the remaining options he has. They have to win the match as they are behind with quite some margin according to their standards and have to get back on track as soon as possible.

Yes indeed, because Manchester City is at least already behind Arsenal and Liverpool this moment then ya, of course it is Manchester City target to win the away match against Everton this time. After all, basically Manchester City also has a good winning record against Everton and as such, Manchester City should still win in this match.

At least, a team as good as Manchester City should still be able to play well even if several key players are injured. Because ya, with the good management that Manchester City has, Manchester City should have second tier players who also have good quality. Therefore, it is not surprising that even though Manchester City is in a bad situation at this moment, in reality Manchester City is still the favorite team to win this match.

In the Champions League group phase, Galatasaray was the favorite when compared to Copenhagen and many thought that Galatasaray was able to qualify for the next rounds with Bayern Munich, but in reality Copenhagen was able to qualify for the next round of the Champions League with Bayern Munich and prove that they were stronger. If we compare Galatasaray, we cannot judge just because we see that Galatasaray is stronger than Slavia Praha because Galatasaray and Slavia Praha still have a chances to qualify and proved which club is more worthy of qualifying.
Actually, if we re-watch the Galatasaray vs Copenhagen match we can see that statistically Galatasaray performed quite well. But it seems they are out of luck. I don't underestimate Copenhagen but if I think about it that night Copenhagen was lucky to score a goal by Lerager which meant that Galatasaray had to play in the European league. It was a shame that Lerager received a red card in that match so he couldn't play in the first leg.

I agree with you. I watched Galatasaray's players perform in the Champions League group stage. This team has performed quite well in the Champions League. Galatasaray's performance was good enough in all 4 matches against Copenhagen and Manchester United. But the team failed to qualify for the knockout round due to tactical weaknesses and minor mistakes. However, I consider Galatasaray as the favorite in the Europa League. And I'd say this team can be considered favorites for the Europa League title as well. Even if they don't win the title, I think Galatasaray can continue their winning streak until they face Leverkusen, Liverpool and Roma.

In essence, I think Copenhagen are clearly still better than Galatasaray and I admit that. Although indeed, in terms of quality at least Galatasaray look better than Copenhagen . But ya, the fact is not the case because after all, the fact is that Copenhagen also managed to be unbeaten by Galatasaray in the last group phase . Because ya, in the first meeting Copenhagen managed to hold Galatasaray to a draw with a score of 2-2 and in the last match of the group stage, in fact Galatasaray still lost by Copenhagen with a score of 1-0.

So yes, with that results Galatasaray has like that at least it is not too impressive either, when Galatasaray plays against a team that at least has a quality that is not much different . So at least,playing against Sparta Prague in the Europa League play off this time also does not seem to fully guarantee for Galatasaray to win. Because ya, it seems that Galatasaray maybe not have a good enough mentality for a decisive match like this.

However this has taught me a great lesson never to trust a smaller team when playing a bigger club because with the slightest mistake, they can conceive multiple goals that will surprise anyone in the end.

which is the smaller team and which is the bigger team? Ittihad and AL Nassr, you have to see how the two competed last season.
I also lost this bet. and AL Nassr's chance of winning came after an Ittihad player received a red card. Ittihad's game experienced problems and they had to admit AL Nassr's superiority in the match. what I'm not sure about is the final score, but Ittihad must admit it and immediately carry out an evaluation in preparation for the next match.

Yes, basically there are no small teams when it comes about Al Ittihad and Al Nassr because yes, it is clear that Al Ittihad and Al Nassr are big teams in the Saudi Pro League. Thus, it is not correct if you assume Al Ittihad is a small team and Al Nassr is a big team, clearly that is a mistake. Because yes, what is more appropriate is considering their performance and match results at this moment so yes, at least the two of them have differences.

Therefore, because I personally believe that Al Ittihad at this moment is still experiencing a decline in performance compared to last season, at least this factor makes Al Nassr have a better chance. But indeed, at least Al Ittihad were still able to play well in this match, at least by scoring a quick goal in the 14th minute but unfortunately, Al Ittihad were unable to defend it.

What was worse was, because Al Ittihad played with only 10 players after Fabinho received a red card, clearly, this factor meant that Al Nassr managed to score 3 more goals and seal victory with a score of 2-5. But yes, basically Al Nassr is the favorite to win, and I used these odds to include in the parlay bet.

~~~
It can be concluded that this season Barcelona is not in such good condition that their own performance has also declined this season. I'm not really sure that Barcelona will last long enough in the Champions League this season and I'm even starting to doubt that Barcelona will win another trophy in their own domestic league this season.
Let the doubts be yours, while the trust and confidence in Barcelona's ability to have a great season in the Champions League and La Liga belongs to the Barcelona fans. It is very unnatural if you and anyone else believes that Barcelona can win the Champions League title this season because you are not a fan, meaning that every time you talk about Barcelona there will always be negative sentiments that you will express.

I remember that no team that won the Champions League title had a smooth unbeaten run and didn't drop any points since the group stage. That's one fact in recent seasons, but I wouldn't say Barcelona have a better chance of winning the title than Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City. Barcelona is just one candidate, but they are not the favourites. Barcelona's main task now is to prepare themselves to beat Napoli in the round of 16 and this is not easy, but they have to try to get through to the quarter-finals.

I think candidates and favorites are the same thing and maybe there is no difference, so when you say Barcelona are only candidates and not favorites, I think there is something strange. After all, when a team becomes a candidate then yes, at the same time the team also becomes a favorite so yes, candidate and favorite are something that cannot be separated I guess.

Also, Barcelona's decline in performance this season is a fact and not just a hoax so yes, I think Barcelona is not a candidate, and also not a favorite. Because after all, at least we can also consider that last season when Barcelona managed to win the La Liga title but yes, in reality Barcelona still failed in the Champions League and also in the Europa League.

So yes, considering that and this season Barcelona has experienced a decline in performance compared to last season, even though Barcelona has qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League this time. But yes, still, Barcelona doesn't have a good chance of going further, and that is the reality. However, if to beat Napoli, of course Barcelona can still do it and have a good chance of getting to the quarter-finals but it won't be any more than that.

Yes indeed, you could say that one of the problems that clubs other than PSG have in the French league is financial. PSG is no longer in doubt. Meanwhile, other clubs can be said to be small clubs which in fact have a limited scope of sponsors. This will definitely affect the condition of the club and its appearance. However, what is commendable is how they optimized their club in a position like that and were able to compete with PSG, which incidentally had no problem with that.

I can also say that apart from PSG, no other club in Ligue 1 has finances as rich as PSG. This is different from the English or Spanish Leagues where even though there are teams like City and now Newcastle with super rich owners, the other teams also have good financial support. Likewise with La Liga where we see that Madrid is very rich and has built the Los Galacticos squad but other teams also have good financial capabilities.

And for PSG with all the money they have, it is natural that the club owner wants the Champions League title rather than winning several times in Ligue 1 because the Champions League has extraordinary pride for fans and club owners.

Basically, the rich teams also do not always win and anyway, the proof is that the rich teams you mentioned also sometimes lose and even, some of them also experience a decline in performance with bad results or results that are not maximized this moment. Therefore, even though PSG is also a rich team in Ligue 1 but ya, in reality PSG is also still making great efforts to be able to dominate the league again.

After all, at the beginning of this season too, even though PSG is a rich team, but in fact PSG started this season with bad results too. But ya, because PSG has management and a team that has good quality then ya, over time PSG returned to the top of the Ligue 1 standings and these results are certainly a natural result because PSG is a team that has better quality than others teams in Ligue 1.

Darmstadt is still quite weak because they don't have good players to compete in the Bundesliga and the limited strength they have will make it quite difficult to compete or get out of the relegation zone. We'll see how Darmstadt play in the next few matches and whether they can win or suffer another defeat.
Darmstadt maybe have not very good players but they mostly act as a team and they have shown that they can make a struggle other teams.
The places are very close together on the last teams on table and the ranks can quickly change with 2 wins or lose games.
For sure they are always the underdog when they play against Dortmund , Berlin or Frankfurt.
If Dortmund playes like the last weeks its possible they can make a draw out there.

Darmstadt is a promoted team this season and ya, it is quite unfortunate that Darmstadt cannot compete well in the Bundesliga because after all, until the first half of the season also the fact that Darmstadt is only at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings. Indeed, at least the bottom three teams or the three teams that are in the relegation zone currently have the same points with 10 points but ya, it remains that Darmstadt also lost in the number of goal productivity.

So yes, for the next Bundesliga match even though Darmstadt will play at home against Dortmund, I believe that there is no good chance for Darmstadt to be able to hold Dortmund to a draw . Indeed, at least Dortmund also got bad results in their last few matches, but that does not mean Dortmund will be easy to beat by Darmstadt who are at the bottom of the table . Therefore, I personally still believe that Dortmund will still have a good chance to beat Darmstadt in the next Bundesliga match.

Antoine Griezmann the superstar player of Atletico Marid offered himself to sign a new contract with his team because he wanted to expect his contract for a longer time. It seems Antoine Griezmann is interested in staying in Atletico Madrid for a longer time, Antoine Griezmann has been playing for Atletico Madrid since 2014 and he just left Atletico Madrid for Barcelona for 2 years in 2019 when he came back he tried to do his beat for his team.


Griezmann's desire to remain with Atletico Madrid makes perfect sense to me. That wasn't really a fairy tale, his time at Barcelona? He seemed to have concluded that Atletico is his true calling. It's not just about playing well; it's also about blending in with the group dynamic, and Atletico appears to be the perfect fit for him. Stability becomes crucial as he gets closer to 33. It's possible that leaving this position early in his career will cause more harm than good. To be honest, Atletico is a fan favorite and is aware of his worth and the workings of the system. Griezmann makes a wise decision, and the club does too

Considering his age, it seems that if Atletico are willing to extend his contract, it might not be long. Maybe, extending his contract only for the next season or two season might still happen, but if for longer than that I think Atletico will not be able to afford it either. After all, as long as Griezmann can still play well and can make a big contribution to the team then yes, why not.

After all, Griezmann is an Atletico player and Griezmann has a lot of good development also at Atletico and not at Barcelona. So ya, it is very natural that Griezmann can still play well at Atletico, because of course Griezmann has a very good chemistry with Atletico and also with their coach Diego Simeone.
