I would like to know next weekend whether Newcastle will be able to bounce back and win from Brentford or not because from 3 matches they were failed to earn points and the latest is Newcastle lose from Brighton so their consistency is really tested this season because Newcastle had tight schedules because after fight against Brentford then on monday Newcastle have to play against AC Milan on champion league so Eddie Howe probably will do some rotation players to ensure all of Newcastle players in the good fitness
Last season Brentford was recognized as a giant killer this because they were so often to playing unpredictable and beat big teams but this season i have to says they haven't reach to their top performance again and about the match for next weekend i can see Newcastle had good records from Brentford so if they can managed their consistency i think very possible Newcastle will return to the winning ways and collect 3 points from Brentford

Win result is mandatory for Netherlands because they had 9 points gap below to France and this is not easy match because Ireland sometimes can able to performing well at their home ground but Netherlands also in the good shape because in the last 2 matches on group B they can able to scores 6 goals and wins the matches so i assume Netherlands in the in the positive trend and they are fully confident to facing this match
Netherlands probably will using same strategy just like when they were beat Greece few days ago and Weghorst will be played as centre striker along with Xavi Simons and Gakpo as attacking midfielder and this strategy has successfully to make Netherlands playing with more attacking and for betting options Netherlands win has odds @1.70 i think this odds is quite decent to try because in my opinion Netherlands had good chances to win the match but besides that over 2.5 goals also seems good pick

Lorient will be next opponent for Monaco and i think this is interesting match because based on head to head statistics i can see Monaco always be hard struggle to beat Lorient even in the last 5 meetings Monaco was only able to win once from Lorient so this proven Lorient could be the first test for Monaco consistency and indeed this season Monaco performance is quite impressive that at least after week 4 Monaco can able to occupy first place on Ligue 1 and the combination between their forward players such as Minamino, Ben Yedder and Aleksandr Golovin make Monaco is quite sharp currently and total these players has been scores 8 goals besides that i am looking forward to see Balogun performance because last week his debut match doesn't run well that he was starting the match from the bench and playing only 17 minutes but he hasn't scores goals yet

Arsenal first match in this competition and they will fight against PSV and this is very interesting because both teams have been met last year on Europa league and both teams have defeated each other which mean PSV can be considers as tough opponent for Arsenal especially PSV performance were increase rapidly because since July PSV has fantastic achievement and since that month PSV has through 11 matches with unbeatable status in all competitions and before they advances to the group stage PSV has been done a good job because they can able to eliminate Rangers with total aggregate 7-2 so although Arsenal is the favourite in this match but PSV cannot be underestimate because they have a potention to make Arsenal get in trouble

There was a bad news regarding Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes this because seems he got injured after defend Brazil national team and while Brazil fight against Bolivia he was played as a starter and in the second half Brazil manager Fernando Diniz have to replace him because apparently Gabriel got injured and until now there was no certain news regarding his condition but Arsenal should be worried about this situation because we all know Gabriel is Arsenal key player and Arteta always be playing him for each matches and if Gabriel had serious injured i think it will be big lost for Arsenal because previously they have to lost Jurrien Timber who confirmed got long term injured and Arsenal will be lack of defender players

Roma and Empoli both started the season very badly. From 3 matches, Empoli even lost 3 times. And likewise with Roma who have not won a single win from 3 matches at the start of this season. Roma only got 1 point from a draw against Salernitana. Against Empoli, Roma should be able to win the match more easily. Well this is a home game for Roma. And I think it's time to save the dignity of a good coach like Mourinho. I think Roma will win with a close result like 1-0 or 2-1. If Roma don't get a win in this match then I think this will really be the worst season for Roma.
Also, in the next match, AS Roma seems to have been able to play Lukaku and thus, AS Roma should be able to get their first three points this season. After all, the fact is that Empoli also does not have a good record when playing against AS Roma and therefore, at this moment also Empoli still does not seem to have the ability to win. Moreover, if I consider the odds available at the moment, it is at least clear that AS Roma are very favored to win. So yes, I personally still believe that AS Roma will get a win in the match against Empoli in the next match in Serie A. Against Empoli, it looks like Mourinho will use Lukaku as the starter in this match because Roma front line was very dull at the start of this season because the absence of Tammy Abraham had a negative impact on their performance in the early matches of this season. Lukaku had appeared with Roma when Roma faced AC Milan, but in that match Lukaku was not able to have a big influence in the match because he came on in the 70th minute and at the same time he needed a process to adapt to Roma game. So, in the match against Empoli, I think Roma chances of getting full points are quite big because they are playing in front of supporters and of course Lukaku will try his best to make a difference to Roma front line in this match. It is hoped that Lukaku and Dybala can bring victory to Roma in this match. Mourinho doesn't have much options for forward lines now because they only have Lukaku and Belotti so Mourinho have to optimalized these players although the performance of these players doesn't too satisfied him and as far i know Dybala was got injured so he was unable to play this week even while Roma defeated by Milan last week Dybala wasn't available at the squad and i think this also causes why Roma lost because without Dybala Roma can't so anything on that match And last week Mourinho has attempts to played El Shaarawy to replace Dybala position but he was unable to performing well maybe because El Shaarawy real position is not striker because he is a attacking midfielder and if Mourinho will using the same strategy which mean he will used 2 striker and there is a chance for Lukaku to being an the starter while Roma fight against Empoli so lets see whether Mourinho will played him since the beginning of match or Lukaku will starting the match from the bench again |

I prefer to think that they are struggling to score goals rather than not trying to score many goals in a match because looking at their condition for the beginning of this season it seems very difficult for them to score more than 2 goals in 1 match.
There still needs to be some familiarisation when trying out some of the younger players and Lewandowski's performance is still hampered by the opposition's marking which makes it difficult for Barcelona to find many goals in their matches.
Despite this the chances of them winning definitely remain as they are the favourites and the worst possibility is a draw although this would be difficult for Betis to force a draw.
I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them. Lewandowski has admitted that he has slow start this season because if we compared to his goal records last season is much better than now and even his goals records with Poland national team is much better than in Barcelona and Lewandowski has been complaining Xavi tactic while Barcelona only playing draw against Getafe last month this because he hasn't gets enough ball supply from the midfielder so that's why he was unable to scores at that time but i think it's only a matter of time to see Lewandowski reach to his top performance again because gradually he has found his shape again and the latest proof is he was able to scores two times in a row when Barcelona win from Osasuna and Villarreal |

Luciano Spalletti will make his debut match with Italy national team today and North Macedonia will be his first test but it's not easy to beat North Macedonia because last year surprisingly North Macedonia can able to beat Italy with narrow score 1-0 so Italy have to focus if they want to win this match and actually North Macedonia is not in the good shape because from 3 matches they only can able to win once from weak team Malta and even England can win with big scores from them 7-0 so Italy have to utilized this situation if they want to collect 3 points today because basically this is not hard match for them but Italy is under new manager Luciano Spalletti so i am sure some players still required to adapt with Spalletti however Italy has odds @1.34 and indeed this is low odds but Otaly is the favourite so this odds is normal

this season Xavi should be lucky enough not to be in the hell group. I think getting through the group phase is quite easy for Barca, they are the favorites to qualify. especially with the player material that Xavi has in the current Barca squad. of course, even City should consider Barca. unlike last season, Xavi failed, but they won't repeat that this season.
Xavi has prepared everything well, as well as his request to the club to bring in several important players at this time. I think those who have just been brought in by Barca will help the team in the Champions League.
Yes, Barcelona is lucky enough to be in the same group as Royal Antwerp, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, ideally they will get through the group phase easily, but the reality is that we don't know whether Barcelona can get through easily or not. September 20 they will have their first UCL match and face Royal Antwerp, playing at home will certainly be the basis of their motivation, 3 points are in sight it seems. Barcelona will be able to advances to the round of 16 and i am sure about that but the question is how far Xavi will be able to bringing this team because we all know previously Barcelona can't talk more on European competitions even on season 2022 at Europa league Barcelona have to eleminate on quarterfinal and at that time Barcelona status as the favourite but unfortunately they were lose from Frankfurt However second team who possibly will qualified is Porto and last season Porto can able advances to round of 16 with finish at first place on group stage and now i think they have good chances to repeat their achievement again because on the paper Royal Antwerp and Shakhtar Donetsk quality is below to them |

Atletico Madrid have started the season very well. Won two and drew one of the first three matches. And watching their performance reminds me of the 2020-21 season. Atlético Madrid have scored 10 goals and conceded just one goal in these three matches. If the team is able to maintain this consistency then they are undoubtedly worthy contenders for this season's title. There is no doubt that Barcelona and Real Madrid are strong teams. However, Atletico Madrid's bar squad is also quite strong. This team has the potential to do well this season. Let's see if Atletico Madrid are able to maintain consistency.
Yes, it's true, Atletico Madrid started the season very convincingly, of course Atletico Madrid this season is terrible, as strong as new. It can also be seen that Memphis Depay is happier and plays carefree when playing for Atletico Madrid, which is different from when he was at Barcelona when it seemed like there was a burden and pressure. But behind Depay's arrival, there was Joao Felix who was eliminated from the squad. Joao Felix openly wanted to play at Barcelona and now his dream of playing at Barcelona has been achieved. I think this season Atletico Madrid will be a challenger for this season's La Liga champions provided they have to be consistent in every match, they must get three points in every match. Atletico Madrid is doing well this season and their squad is also quite strong. The important thing is that Atletico Madrid's players are in great form right now. They have talented players like Depay, Griezmann, Correa and Morata in their attack. De Paul and Llorente in midfield. Midfield and attack are very strong team. Griezmann, Correa, Depay and Morata are all performing well and scoring goals. Atlético Madrid's performance is now stable as every player in the attack is performing well. Coach Simeone should tighten up his defense now. The team can move forward with the goal of winning the title only if the defense is stronger. And their performance will also be consistent. There was a significant progress for Atletico Madrid performance this season because they were starting the league with impressive performance and it much better if we compared to their performance last season at the beginning of league and although they are a team with a defensive style of play but at least from 3 latest matches Atletico Madrid is quite productive because they can scores 10 goals and for time being apparently Simeone has been solved one of Atletico Madrid weaknesses which is their forward lines is more sharp now because the players such as Depay, Griezmann and Morata have able to performing well Especially for Morata that i can see he can perform much good than last season and after international break Atletico Madrid has a good opportunity to resumes their winning streak because they will fight against Valencia and actually this is not hard match for them because previously Atletico Madrid can able to beat this team several times and i am sure they will beat Valencia and collect 3 points from this match |

-snip- A few years ago, very few people knew about the Saudi League. The Saudi League was not very well known. Also, I came to know about the football of Saudi Arabia in the last World Cup. I started covering Saudi Arabia football only after they beat teams like Argentina. The Saudi Arabian team does not play very well. However, Ronaldo has come to the top of the discussion after joining the Saudi League. And the Saudi government provided more than $6 billion in grants to further develop the Saudi League. And they added several star players this season. Saudi League is gradually improving. Next season we will probably see more star players in Saudi Arabia. And if the Saudi Arabian clubs can add good players to their squads, the Saudi league will become more exciting. I also didn't know, this Saudi League before.  The government of Saudi Arabia really know how to push the acceleration of their League, they need a figure top players in this world besides being a magnet also these top players can give good advice to develop their league, or may can be a good example for young Arab players. By recruiting Ronaldo into their League, I think it is very appropriate. Yes Sir, I totally agree this league surely will be more exciting, if Clubs in this League can add more a good players next season. Ronaldo was the start of all this happening and afterward the exodus has began and actually some of Saudi Arabia clubs were famous just like Al Hilal, Al Ittihad or Al Ahli this because these teams were very often to playing at Asian champion league before but for Saudi Pro League i am sure mostly people didn't really know about this league before and this summer Saudi Arabia know how to utilized their money and they had been done a good moved that they were bought plenty of European players to strengthen their clubs and the results is very good because the popularity of Saudi Pro League is increases rapidly and i am sure they won't stop to buying new players and this January when winter transfer window opened i am sure there will be more European players who joined this league |

Breaking News!
Virgil van Dijk will be banned for the other game and also fined Ł100,000. This he got after protesting the decision of the referee John Brooks in the match against Newcastle last week which resulted in him getting a red card. Maybe Virgil van Dijk was so annoyed with the referee's decision that some inappropriate words cost him a fine. That will add to the loss for Liverpool considering he has to miss several matches. Jurgen Kloop might be quite a headache because we know that at Liverpool there are not many good center back options to replace Virgil van Dijk. Even so, I think Virgil van Dijk has to be calm and he has to trust his teammates to be able to face the next match.
Van Dijk was over reacted to the referee decision and it make he got red card and after that Van Dijk later admitted that he said inappropriate words to the referee and this make FA have decide to punish him with one more match which mean Van Dijk will be absense while Liverpool fight against Wolves after international break and last week while Liverpool win from Aston Villa Van Dijk also was not available And this is big lost because Van Dijk is Liverpool captain and also as key player for Liverpool defensive lines and last week Klopp has attempts to played Joe Gomez to replace Van Dijk position and luckly Gomez can able to performing well but i am quite worried if Klopp has decide to played him again for next match because one of Gomez weaknesses is he cannot able to performing stable and i have seen it several times last season that Gomez was performing poor and it causes Liverpool suffering to lose |

Victor Boniface is the most successful transfer this summer for Leverkusen. The reason is that currently he has scored 4 goals and 2 assists with Leverkusen and I think he will start to fill the Bundesliga top scorer this season. Last season, when he was still defending his previous team Saint Gilloise, he recorded a total of 22 goals in all competitions and as a striker he was also quite productive with 12 assists. I didn't expect Xabi Alonso to find this hidden gem and now Victor Boniface will be the focus for Leverkusen to achieve their targets this season, especially securing the champions league zone. But even if there is another target that is quite impossible, I think Leverkusen will become a new challenger for the Bundesliga title.
Last season Leverkusen hasn't have good striker and this is one of their weaknesses and Xabi even has been complaining about this before and indeed last season Leverkusen has Patrik Schick and Adam Hložek but the performance of these players was not what Xabi Alonso expected and Xabi Alonso even have to played Amine Adli as centre striker several times to solved this problem but the results is still dissapoint him because Amine Adli real position as a winger and now after Patrik Schick has long term injured this make Leverkusen have to look for new striker and luckily they were buy Victor Boniface from Union Saint-Gilloise and i think this is successful buy because with the arrival of this player Leverkusen performance were increase rapidly |

seeing Lyon current position really surprises us all when last season this team managed to be in the top 10 in the standings and at the start of this season they were at the bottom of the table with very poor performance and I also agree that this break will give a good time for Lyon officials to get an experienced coach who is smart in strategizing to maintain performance and secure victory in every match and this effort must be made by Lyon immediately.
If speaking of coaches, isn't Laurent Blanc successful enough last season to lift Lyon's performance, I think their mistake at the start of this season was not the coach but their players who were not qualified and not many changes had occurred in this team and that was far different from other teams. continues to grow so that this makes it increasingly difficult for Lyon to compete. What happened at the start of this season was quite unfortunate indeed for Lyon and the management of this team must be able to quickly make changes before they fall further behind. Last season Laurent Blanc was replace Peter Bosz position as the new manager of Lyon this because last season Lyon had experience poor start and indeed Laurent Blanc has successfully to lifted up Lyon performance and at the end of season he can able to bringing Lyon finish at 10th place so this is good achievement indeed because Lyon condition at that time is not really good but this season it just happens again that Lyon was no victory in the last 4 matches This is difficult situations for Lyon because their position currently at the bottom of standings league and i believe Lyon management has been thinking about this so they want Laurent Blanc immediately to solved this problem and if in the next several matches Lyon lost again most likely Laurent Blanc will be sacked and the rumour is currently Lyon was look for the replacement of Laurent Blanc and they have been thinking to hire Graham Potter |

when players get older and their performance declines. they must realize that they will no longer be the first choice in the squad. can only wait for their contract to finish or move to a club with less tight competition.
Hugo Lloris has been linked with Roma and Lazio. but it looks like neither of them will bring in the 36-year-old goalkeeper. Lazio has already secured an agreement with other players. and Roma really wasn't interested in him.
Tottenham seems really late to regenerate their players. maybe too comfortable with his squad.
Actually, Hugo Lloris performance was not too bad his experience of 11 years playing in the Premier League can still be relied on just not as the main goalkeeper but as the second goalkeeper at least that's what Lazio expected when they wanted to sign him but Hugo Lloris rejected the deal he thought why move to Lazio if only as a second goalkeeper meanwhile he got the same opportunity with Tottenham. I think Hugo Lloris will move if he gets an offer as main goalkeeper if not then he will stay even on the bench. Actually Tottenham want to hold him and the reason why he want to left Tottenham because Lloris want to find new challenge and i have been watching his performance last season several times and he was performing well and rare to made a mistakes so at his age Lloris performance is still very decent to playing at premier league or other famous league in Europa but just like i said before he want to find new challenge so that's why he was decide to leave Tottenham and this summer Lloris almost moved to AS Roma but unfortunately this transfer didn't happend because his salary demand is too high and with the current financial condition for Roma it's very hard to pay 100.000 per week salary especially for second goalkeeper |

Inter have extended Simone Inzaghi's contract until 2025. I think they made the right choice. Last season they reached the final of the Champions League. Also, they finished 3rd in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi is performing well for the squad he has. They started this season with 3 wins in 3 games. Their next game in the league will be against Milan. Before this derby match they gave Simone Inzaghi a boost with this new contract.
I think Inter are a better team than Milan, but I don't want to predict the result of the match because derby matches are always open to surprise results.
Inter Milan management feel satisfied with Inzaghi performance so they are willing to give more extended contract to Inzaghi until 2025 and indeed last season Inzaghi was able to defend Copa Italy trophy for Inter Milan and he also was able to broke the record with bringing Inter Milan reach to the final match on champion league so this is fantastic achievement but unfortunately Inter Milan performance at Serie A is still unstable and they were failed to gets the scudetto and only can able to occupy 3rd place under Napoli and Lazio however i believe this extended contract makes Inter Milan management aiming high target to Inzaghi because i am sure they want scudetto this season and if Inter Milan failed to gets the scudetto i am sure Inzaghi position will be threaten and possibly will be sacked |

Its so sad for Galatasaray to be in that group with Bayern. Its impossible to ge even 1 point from them in my opinion - there is huge power difference. But I suppose Galatasaray can challenge Kopenhag. Its unlucky for Kopenhag too - they drew nearly all strong teams from pots. They could have chance to go next round if they could be in a different group. So same scenario for them. Competition only for 1st rank at 3rd rank in that group. Otherwise teams are literally divided to two.
Bayern Munich and Manchester United is the strongest teams on group A so it's hard for Galatasaray to compete against these teams but everything still possible to happend because group stage hasn't to begin yet and if Galatasaray can able to beat Manchester United i think there is a good chances for them to qualified but indeed this is really hard because during their participant in champion league turkish teams always be recognized as mediocre team and the most realistic position for Galatasaray probably 3rd places however if i am not mistaken Galatasaray have been advances to round of 16 on 2013 and at that time they were fight against Schalke and Galatasaray were successfully to advances to quarterfinal but unfortunately their journey have to stopped on that stage because they lose from Real Madrid |

I also think Girona's excellent performance will not last long. However, the way Girona have performed in four matches is absolutely commendable. Their defense is very strong. But their attack is not strong enough. This team conceded only 2 goals in four matches. If the defense is strong, this team has the potential to stay on top of the table for a long time. But the main problem is that teams like Girona lack consistency in performance. However, I think we will see Girona finish in the top 6 of the table this season unless their performance drops too much. Girona team is performing much better than teams like Real Betis, Villarreal or Real Sociedad. This team should not be overlooked this season.
Since their current manager Míchel arrived to this team Girona has good progress that it took only 1 season for Míchel to bringing Girona to got promoted on season 2021 from segunda division and last season too Míchel can able to bringing Girona to survive in this competition even last season Girona can able to finish at 10th places which is this is one of their best position during their participant on Laliga and now they starting the league with impressive performance even they can occupy 2nd position I know most people will doubt Girona will be able to managed their consistency because Girona status as mediocre team in Laliga and indeed it is almost impossible for them to compete with big teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid but at least they have good chances to repeat their last season achievement and since pre season matches Girona status is still unbeatable and during pre season tour too they can able to beat strong team Lazio and draw from Napoli and their upcoming opponent is Granada and if Girona can managed their consistency i think it's not hard to beat Granada |

The promotion teams until week 4 so far haven't showed their best performance and if compared between Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley so far only Sheffield United is slightly better because they got 1 point from Everton but this is far to called as good performance because basically these teams still unable to gets their first winning on premier league and before the season begin i was expect Burnley will be able to being an dark horses team because under Company last season this team was showing impressive performance at championship division but clearly i was wrong about that because until today Burnley has experience 3 losing streak

I think that an interesting match will be Georgia vs Spain... Strangely enough, but the first place in the group is now Scotland, which is likely to stay there, because they have won all four games... In second place is Georgia, who really need a win against Spain... Spain, on the other hand, failed to show anything good in qualifying... I don't know who will win, but I think both teams will score...
Scotland is too good for group A because they were collect 12 points from 4 matches and they even can able to beat Spain with scores 2-0 so they have good chances to finish at first position and automatically qualified to Euro 2024 and second places will be interesting because on the paper Spain has good chances to finish on that position and Georgia could be their first test and this shouldn't be a hard match for Spain because based on their previous meetings Spain can able to beat Georgia quite often but Spain away matches record seem quite poor because in the last 3 matches they were unable to gets the winning results and this match could be their opportunities to return to winning ways and for betting option Spain obviously is the favourite but they had low odds @1.35 |
