I'm not sure why Mbape is one of the most discussed guy anticipating for Real Madrid even when they have denounced anything related to him several time. Not that if Real Madrid sign him heaven is going to fall, there are other places he is going to excel better than the current PSG he has been trying to keep their dream on the football map. But it's high time people should believe that with or without Mbape, the club already has a sufficient players enough to help them reach the potential to win leagues, Vinicious and Kroos are back at the training field which means that they are fit and are ready to play. Similarly, this was how they falsely spread Anceloti move to Brazil to go and continue his career as an international footballer but he has cleared the air with his active new deal to 2023. If not that some people are to daft to think straight, why will he live a club like Real Madrid and go to Brazil when some or his players he will coach over there are in Real Madrid, it doesn't add up unless they want to make him the governor of a state in Brazil.  Mbappe rumor to Madrid is one selling rumor on the football media space hence the reason why it keeps thriving even when the team and the head coach denounces it. Well Mbappe is one player that could get his dream when he lands at the Bernabeu and it could be a reality but for now I think we should let the youngster foucs on helping himself amd his team PSG before he probably departs. Yes, the PSG squad will flourish without him but I don’t think they’ll fly so high then compared to how they’re flying now except there’s a 100% commitment from all players. Well I think people should go easy on the rumors and not hasten the players or the club into making wrong decisions as this is pertaining to one’s career and any wrong decision could mar the club and player next season. |

Several important players have indeed left Napoli, such as their mainstay defender last season, Kim Min Jae. Kim Min Jae is known as a central defender who is difficult for opponents to pass. But unfortunately he went to Bayern and strengthened the current Bayern squad. But Napoli's problems this season are actually on the front lines. Even though their back line is not as strong as last season, it is still quite good. Because what's worse is Napoli's current attack line which often wastes the opportunities they get. The front players seemed to have lost their sharpness. They don't seem to be playing like usual. Last season the level of effectiveness of Napoli's attacks was very feared, but this season Napoli's attacks are just like normal team attacks.
I also didn't expect that Napoli would be ranked in the middle of the standings. But I think Napoli will be in 8th place for just a little while. And I am sure that in the near future Napoli will be able to rise to a better ranking again. Because currently the difference between ranking points 8 to 6 is only one point. So that rapid changes can occur.
Yes Changes will sure occur in the Serie A table but that doesn’t mean we should overlook the errors in this Napoli team. Yes, we know most teams are occasion winners and after winning the league they ghost a while and probably Napoli could be one of those teams, cause they've shown it this season that they're incapable of winning the Scudetto consecutively. Yes, their backline still seem pretty composed but I think it’s one major problem they’re facing and they’ll need an effective top signing to come pilot this defense line. For the attack not being sharp, what could have gone wrong if not envy over the Nigerian, Victor who outperformed most of them and now they feel they need to outshine hence the teAm is suffering.The coach of this team yes will have quite a lot of work to do and if these are done then I can see Napoli moving up the log so soon. |

That is the biggest worry for Dortmund fans this season, that their beloved club is losing the potential to appear in the UCL next season. Regardless of their luck this season in getting through the UCL group phase, in the Bundesliga they should also be able to achieve the same good balance. A situation that is rarely experienced by Dortmund, because usually they appear consistent and compete closely in the hunt for trophies with Bayern Munchen, we can take an example like last season. Stuttgart and Leipzig will continue to try to assert their position in the top four, because they also want to experience the atmosphere of the UCL next season.
Dortmund have to do something, I mean looking for a solution in the transfer window if they want to appear consistently, using the existing players alone, which in my opinion is not enough to compete in the second half of the season. I think they don't really understand that this season Bundesliga competition is very different from previous seasons, if they hope something good will come without trying for it, then they will sleep for a long time this season just dreaming.
Dortmund are one top teams of the Bundesliga who usually are consistent in coming to the UCL. Yes they’ve been inconsistent this season after losing most of its key players but one sweet thing is that in that inconsistency, they manage to go through to the last 16 of the UCL, which is one thing i love about this team, they always manage their players and use what they got to go forward in the UCL. Now they’re lurking away from UCL spot next season in their domestic league; with the likes of Stuggart and Liepzig a little above them. Well not a cause for too much worry because this Dortmund squad has the experience and can get back to UCL spot. But one thing the board and coach should try out is to recruit new players who would help this team look fierce else they’ll find it more difficult next season. |

Old lady will not care so much about what motivation it is but the club is always caring to get the perfect point. This is making the club to perform even better than before. Allegrii never said complicated motivations to the his clubs. He urges his players to perform even more consistent than before. Allegri tries to make sure his club will able to get the trophy this season. The main motivation of juventus to get UCL spot and trophy at the same time. There was no better motivation than it. Juventus might get some advantages once it was winning the game against roma but allegri has predicted there will be a tough game between juventus and roma. Allegri knew that if roma is just getting even stronger after it was acquiring lukaku from chelsea. It's really really good for juventus and all of players.
The old lady shall get three points from roma. It must be the best result against mourinho's team. Im not seeing a better result than winning the match against roma.
Allegrii has his eyes on the trophy and is focused on getting victories rather than getting the praises and that’s one sweet thing that makes him succeed. Now, his focus is on Roma and he’s admittedd how tough the fixture will be and has recognized the presence of star man Lukaku who could be a threat to his defense. Yes, he admits this and want to play the logic game by going into this match as underdogs. For this match, I knew juventus would come on top cause despite the home advantage, they're 2nd place in the standings and had to maintain that position, however both teams did great but Juventus created more better chances despite that Roma were more dominant in possession, i think Juventus were lucky to steal a goal in this match and thanks to Rabiot for helping them secure the 3points. |

There is no doubt that Dortmund has the potential to re-enter the top four of the standings, a safe zone to appear again in the European Champions League competition. Looking a little further ahead, it looks like entering week 20, Dortmund will be back in the UCL zone. Because Stuttgart and Leipzig will face a tough match, if both teams lose points in two matches, then that will be enough for Edin Terzic squad to overtake their position in the standings.
It is true that this scenario only works when Dortmund can finish their own match by getting full points, by recruiting several new players this ambition is felt to be easier to realize. If they don't move actively in the transfer market, Dortmund must be prepared for all the risks, namely losing their place in the UCL zone when the season ends. Meanwhile, Laverkusen and Bayern Munchen are the two teams that have created a racing axis in fighting for the Bundesliga trophy.
Dortmund are one top team of the Bundesliga and I’m confident that they’ll surely get back into the top 4 standings of the league to head into the UCL. I think the opposition teams would falter and that’ll be a boost when Dortmund wins, one thing i like about them is that they don't joke with the top four in the Bundesliga, they'll always manage to do better and finish top 4 and i believe we'll still see them in the UCL tournament next season. Dortmund are falling no doubt and we can see that they need some major signings especially in their midfield to help boost their chances else they’ll might struggling to maintain the top 4 spot even after entering there. We can see that after departure of Jude Bellingham they’ve struggled, i guess it’s time to recruit a youngster to step in and steer the midfield for the team like jude did while he was there. |

Yes, injuries will always be problem for football team, but there are also some teams that, when key player is injured, can still play well and maintain the quality of play like perfect squad.
It just that it very rare and so far the only team that has experienced problems with injured players but still performed very well is Real Madrid, no other team can have stability like Real Madrid.
For the European League and Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the only team that is able to perform as well as Real Madrid and of course Leverkusen will always be able to apply pressure which makes it difficult for Liverpool to continue their struggle until the final.
Xabi Alonso makes the best use of the players Leverkusen has and that is why every Leverkusen game can always produce truly great resistance and defense.
Seeing how the two teams will meet when they meet, it is very likely that every Liverpool player will have difficulty breaking through the Leverkusen defense and of course the Liverpool defense players will have difficulty blocking the Leverkusen players attacks.
It great how Leverkusen have progressed over time for this season.
Injuries are one problem football team face and the way Don Carlo has managed to keep this Real Madrid team in shape despite the injury crisis is one part of coaching that needs to be studied lol. I don’t think any team will still be able to maintain stability if they’ve got the same injury crisis as Real Madrid. It happened to several teams like Chelsea, Man United and Barcelona but none where able to manage their squad like Ancelotti did. Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen is one wonder too that’s worth watching; the way he utilizes and managed these players and avoid injuries yes, that’s one thing that makes this team still solid. If they’ll play Liverpool in the final of the UEL, yea it’ll be a tough one based on current form but I think experience will come to play in that final. But we must commend Xabi and his Leverkusen team. |

Right, in this match Chelsea was able to take the lead in the first half with a score of 0-2. Cole Palmer even scored two goals in this match. he scored in the 12th minute and in the 70th minute. however, in the 80th minute and 87th minute, Luton was able to reduce their defeat and in the end the match ended with a score of 2-3. as I predicted at the start, Luton will definitely be able to score goals in this match. unfortunately, the home team was unable to make this match end in a draw. my previous guess was that this match had the potential to end in a draw. however, Chelsea finally got full points in this match. fortunately, the option I chose was a handicap with +1.25. even though you don't get a full win, this option is better than other bets. unfortunately, Luton was unable to equalize. referring to match statistics, in the first half Chelsea dominated the game, two goals came from Palmer and Noni. entering the second half, Luton turned to dominate the game. very natural, because they had fallen behind with a score of 0-3. in the end, Luton was able to reduce the goal difference even though they still lost this match.
In the other match, Aston Villa vs Burnley, temporary position with score 2-1. the first round is over. my previous estimate was Over 3 goals for the battle between these two teams.
As for City, Pep Guardiola's squad was temporarily leading 1-0, Rodri scored a goal in the 14th minute. in the second half, Pep will definitely maximize his squad, perhaps by rotating or changing his strategy. I'm pretty sure that City will score at least 1 more goal against Burnley, we'll see in the second half.
Yeah you got lucky with your option. Chelsea dominated this match but the way they fell off in the final 10 minutes of the match is quite surprising and this balls down to game management. If not for the many number of goals already scored by Chelsea in the major part of this match, probably Luton would have gotten a draw from this fixture, i wonder why they'll be so careless with their defense line to allow Luton score 2 and almost equalized, well the good and important thing is that they secured the 3points. My safe bet for Aston Villa was to double chance them and yea, they won the match but the win wasn’t convincing because they were saved with a penalty in the last 10 minutes and yea, Manchester City were victorious as expected and kept a clean sheet and scored up to 2 goals amd that wraps the matches for 2023 for these teams. |

In my opinion he is looking at Manchester United as a great challenge that if he manages to overcome and obtain good results, then this would make him greatly increase his CV as a coach, until today the relevant team he coached was Ajax who He won the Eredivisie many times, at Bayern he was coach of the B team, that doesn't count much. while now he has a great chance to shine in a big team, unfortunately he is making some very bad decisions, he sent Ronaldo and De Gea away and went to hire goalkeepers who make mistakes that De Gea didn't make, he went to put a striker who played many games in the premier league and didn't score a goal. These errors have not been corrected on his part. We'll see when the transfer market opens if he will make good hires this time
about ajax, I think that currently they are doing well, they have no chance of becoming champions this season, but they still have a chance, even if it is a very small chance of finishing in position 3 or 4, I highly doubt that managed to finish in position number 2, but it is still not impossible, all they need to do is get good players on the market, if they don't sign good players then they risk finishing in position 5 and next season they will also be in a terrible position , they won't win anything next season if they don't sign now
In my opinion, the most interesting game in the next round will be Twente's game against AZ, both teams are in a good position in the table and with some comfort, but there is only a difference of 1 point between both teams and both teams should be looking at the third position, if one of the teams wins that game, then they will be further away from the other, which would cause the other team to start playing under pressure. In my opinion, twente will come into this game as favorites to win, they are better than AZ in my opinion, but AZ should not be underestimated, they could get a draw in this game, both teams only managed to get 2 wins in the last 5 games. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of this game will be.
I think yes, ETH is trying to build his CV but he’s quite unfortunate that all these are happening right now. Yes, he’s achieved a trophy on his first season here in Manchester, but how he takes on this season is pretty bad. Yes, some bad decisions and most of all some players indiscipline is making him have a bad time. And if he doesn’t get things right here at Manchester I don’t think he’ll be considered a prolific coach, as this is one major club he’s coaching after coaching Ajax and winning the league quite a number of times. Ajax who did pretty bad when ETH left are now getting their foot especially afterwards starting the season very poorly; now they’re battling it out for an European spot and yes, the dream is alive amd could be a reality. It requires players dedication and some key signings to help boost this team. AZ Alkmaar won’t be able to maintain good form for a while and could even fall when football resumes. |

Real Madrid is a rich club and they currently have a good squad. Some of their players are very young like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Ancelotti likely felt good from his experience and interaction with those young players. He felt of bright future for those young star players and for Real Madrid too.
Managing Real Madrid is safer than taking over the coach position of Brazil and have to handle their national team crisis which does not come from one or some players but come from a systematic issue of Brazil in training and growing up youth players. Real Madrid have some attacking star players from Brazil and they are even key players for Real Madrid but they have money to buy a good striker which Brazil can not use money to buy any striker from the transfer market.
It's big difference between a club and a national team, money can help a club to buy players and fix weakness but with a national team, it can not help.
Real Madrid is one team with very high players' quality. They've got more young stars and the club is seemingly promising as weeks and seasons go by. Real Madrid's team coordination is top notch, every player knows that they're meant to set the right build up to goals and so they play their specific roles to the best of their ability and leave the finishing work for the forward man. The young stars are united and are very impressive competitively each passing game. Currently, they are a stable team and a manager would not really have a tough time handling the squad. They know what they're after and they know how to get it done adequately. This is part of an advantage to their growth and progress generally. One shouldn't be surprised that these team frequently wins trophies for themselves and won't stop winning too. They've got literally the best squad and management team currently and so they're very much good to go. |

Benfica 3 - 0 Farmalicao
I took some time to watch this game on TV and I confess that it was a good decision, it was a very good game to watch and as I'm a Benfica fan I was very happy that in this game Benfica managed to score 3 goals and didn't concede any goals. Congratulations to Benfica for the victory, but their main opponents, I'm talking about Sporting and Porto (Porto won), have easy games so I hope they will win with some ease, which means that nothing will change at the top of the table, but the most important thing is that Benfica manages to win all the games that are coming and hope that their main opponents make many mistakes and lose points in the next games, only then would Benfica become champions again this season too
Porto 1 - 0 Chaves
This Porto game is actually funny, they were playing against the worst team in the league, Porto was supposed to at least be able to score a lot of goals, their opponent is in last place in the table and in the last 5 games they only won 1 game, honestly Porto could have achieved a better result if they were in good shape. but all Porto managed in that game was to score just 1 goal. I don't know if Porto's problem is with the coach or the management or if they have a financial crisis in the team, but the way things are, I think Porto is in need of a lot of changes, they have been a winning team in recent times. games thanks to the referees and when they play naturally they haven't been able to score many goals. well, it was just a goal, but they won and that's what matters in the table
In the fixtures for the Portuguese league, it ended in an easy win for Benfica and Porto. Both teams are the strongest in the league and for one they both were at home in their different games as well as they're more experienced and had a very feeble opponent. Definitely they had every right and capacity to earn the 3points fairly. Porto have been a consistent side, keeping up with wins and ensuring their race is not seeming loopy or faulty. Although they were only able to net just one goal in the entire game but for Benfica on the other hand, they have been trying too, even though they're at the second spot, they strived not to go below that. The game outcome added an advantage to their stride and kept them in the top spots as they've always been. I don't think these teams would risk this chance of boosting points and going ahead in games and the tables too. For Porto, it's an extra confidence to their UCL race. |

It's not really weak like you said above. Given that Napoli was competing against a team as strong as Real Madrid, it would be inappropriate to criticize their performance as weak. I have opposite opinion about that and it feels like napoli is declining after it has done all of matches in the group stage and qualify for the next stage. Napoli is not as good as last season but it can still compete to face barcelona soon. To put all of the players into the defensive line, the only thing that needs to be done by Mazzarri is to make the necessary adjustments. The club shall take counter attack as opportunity to beat barcelona.
Barcelona was a club that is focus into how to build more ball possession. If Napoli focuses on playing with a strong defensive strategy against Barcelona and utilizes effective parking of the bus, they can significantly increase their chances of beating them easily. Napoli's group considerably placed at the medium group.
It has real madrid as the main competitior and do you forget that if barcelona got easy group compared to the napoli? The way to beat barcelona to go through the fully defensive line like parking bus strategy.
It will be making barceloan frustrated with it. Barcelona is going to lose its concentration when the club was always trying to pressuring napoli.
Between Napoli and Barcelona currently, there's no much difference because both teams have flaws they're battling with. For Barcelona, they're not so grounded yet as there's a bit of shakiness and inconsistencies in their usual performances before now. They're now at a low leveled performance phase than they are normally known for. For Napoli, the team just got a new boss and so Mazarri is trying hard to implement strategies that best fits his team and would give them the required results. There are still weeks to the round of 16 games, so it's more chance given to both teams to improve themselves in their various league games and then be better prepared for the encounter in February. Judging both teams, they've got same odds of qualification based on the current teams' technicality and definitely the players in the team are eager for a win. |

Yes, the draw they got really proves that both of them are equally strong this season, I am very curious about today's final match between the two because this time Galatasaray will have an advantage because they are playing at home, but unfortunately the match has to be postponed so we are still curious with the results in this Turkish Super League final, but maybe I favor Galatasaray more or it could still be a draw like in the previous match.
Galatasaray is not only focused on the Turkish league but also has to focus on the play off round of the European league. Galatasaray failed in the Champions League. They should be able to improve their performance to perform optimally and be able to win against Sparta Praha so they can qualify for the next round and compete closely in the round of 16. European League. Apart from that, Galatasaray is also focused on winning the title in the Turkish League in tight competition with Fenerbahce.
Last weekend, the toughest sides in the Turkish Super Lig played against each other. It was definitely an intense game for both teams as they had in their respective stores what to fight for. The game ended fairly in a goalless draw which only is a sign of how resilient they both were and unwavering too. These sides are good at what they do and they did not also let any factor deprive them of the strength out into the game. Galatasaray now has just the Turkish League race to focus on having been knocked out of the Champions league and it's an advantage for them to build up enough capacity to stay out at their top spot and for Fernabache, the struggle is up and they're definitely up to whatsoever task put before them too. Subsequent games in the league would begin after the New Year break and then we'd have the competition for the league trophy back on. These two teams have always been an upper hand in the league and maybe it'll be repeated this season as well |

Sheffield United are so weak this season they are very fragile in their defense because many of the opponents they face can score a lot of goals against them I think the match that will take place between Manchester city vs Sheffield united will be quite easy to predict because these two teams have quite different player qualities. I think Manchester city can score lots of goals against Sheffield united because their defense is so weak this season.
I think Sheffield united will not be able to get out of the relegation zone this season because it is quite difficult for them to win in the matches they play. I think management should be able to improve their defense line better because so far they have conceded 47 goals. Maybe Sheffield united will lose again at the etihad stadium.
Sheffield this season have not been a good side. They've had a number of defeats, even though they try to score a goal in most games they play. They just don't have the quality needed to stay on top of the league standings. In the EPL, leaving it's competitive nature aside, most times, Sheffield United can be predictable not to deliver adequately but they shouldn't be condemned fully. They played away to City and it was definitely expected that City would make an impact. They were the host and definitely a better side than them. City wouldn't let them have their way. Although they were able to prevent more than the scores 2 goals from being netted but their efforts wasn't just enough. Even though it was certain to be an easy win for City, Sheffield didn't get the chance to net a goal in the game and that definitely shows the class of these two teams. |

Yes, maybe Carlo Ancloti said not to recruit other players because he might recruit a striker because what Real Madrid currently needs is a striker who has good potential like Mbappe, but unfortunately this drama will never end. If Mbappe doesn't extend his contract he can easily move to Real Madrid with free transfer status and of course Real Madrid will really benefit because they don't need to spend a lot of money to recruit a good striker like Mbappe. However, I don't know what is going on in Mbappe's mind so that he doesn't provide correct clarification, whether he will extend or quit and leave the club, because if he really wants to extend, Real Madrid is also ready to recruit him, even at a high price.
Real Madrid is a rich club. I think spending money to recruit Mbappe can definitely be done because Real Madrid really needs a pure striker who is hungry for goals to strengthen competition in the Champions League. I am sure that if Mbappe is at Real Madrid, this club will definitely be able to win the League title Champions this season.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is yet to be finalized so it's safe to tag it a rumour although we'd know how serious the rumor was by January. His addition to the Spanish side won't be a bad idea though because he'd complement the coach's taste and style of play too and he will be an advantage too. His team mates will be as young, vibrant, skilful as he is and no doubt they'd become a team that stands out. Mbappe is a young player and he's still got enough exploits to perform. It won't be advisable for him to join SPL. Ancelloti knows the type of player he needs in his team and he knows how to push for the player. He's a wise and intelligent coach who knows how best to carve out his team based on his style. There's a plan deep down in his mind and I really can't wait for it to get unfolded. However a player like Mbappé would definitely be a very good addition to the Real Madrid squad. |

Atalanta vs Lecce
Both of teams had same results last week that they were just lose from their opponents that Atalanta lose from Bologna with narrow score and Lecce also has just lose from Inter Milan and the meetings statistics from them looks interesting because from 4 latest meetings Atalanta got 2 wins even so with Lecce because they also can able to beat Atalanta twice and from these statiatics we can see both of them can beat each other so this match will be so tight
Atalanta performance is not really good if we compared to their performance last season because they have already to lose 8 times and Atalanta home matches records als quite poor because they had several times to lose at their home ground and for Lecce they have good progress this season because until week 17 Lecce only gets 5 lose but indeed it cannot be says impressive because Lecce has got 8 draw which make they have to losing plenty of points from those matches
Regarding the outcomes of this match although Atalanta as a host but i didn't considers them as the favourite because just like i said above Atalanta home matches records wasn't too impressive this season besides that Lecce recent performance also looks good because from 6 matches Lecce only lose from Inter Milan and my prediction is Lecce will make Atalanta get in trouble and they will pushing to playing defense and targetting draw result so that's why i was thinking draw might be good pick for this match and this option has high odds @4.20 or for safe bets both teams to scores also looks good
Both Atalanta and Leece haven't really had much of a good record whilst journeying through the Italian Serie A this season. Both teams have had their own quota of failures and flops and which in turn posed a danger to their tale standings. Thankfully, after a goalless first 45minutrs, Atalanta was able to net the first and only goal of the game. Let's see if they'll be able to defend their one goal till the end or add more to it. It's technically a shame to both sides considering how the team is set up, they ought to have tried creating a more goals in the game. Nonetheless, congrats on the 3points earned by the host as it's an addition to their points already. Leece are currently the slacking one and they've got to be up and doing in subsequent games too. They should strive to still stay out of relegation zone on the table. Thy wouldn't achieve that by consistently backsliding. |

Odds for Freiburg in this match are 2.12 and for 3.40 for Union. But this is quite reasonable in my opinion if you look at the situation between these two clubs. At least there are several reasons that make Freiburg slightly favored in this match.
First is the condition of the two clubs which has a significant difference
.
We know that for the problem of dark horse clubs Freiburg and Union are 2 clubs that have always defeated big clubs in the Bundesliga title in the previous few seasons but for now Union is not like them last season which makes the matches they always do end in defeat so it is quite natural for now Freiburg are still favorites because their performance is better than Union.
In addition, Freiburg also has a home status, so it is clear that the advantages of playing at home can be used well in this case so that this is an advantage again for Freiburg, it's just that there are interesting facts in my opinion in this match because looking at the h2h of their last 3 matches, Union is still superior with 2 wins and 1 defeat its just that in the last 3 matches the goals scored in 1 match were not less than 5 goals, hopefully there will be the same surprise this season.
Union Berlin last season were testifyingly better than they are now. They were threatening and even at the earliest part of this season, they still had that tempo high. Weeks ago, they hosted Madrid and they were able to prove their toughness too but it didn't really get them anywhere higher. Their UCL journey was quite worthwhile for them no doubt and even if they didn't really win all of their encounters, they managed to make an impactful performance in every game. Now they'd be onto the domestic league race and on the standings, they're just a point out of the relegation zone and they've got work to do in ensuring that they don't decline in performance or points too. They'll be facing Freiburg away from home, according to records, both teams are more or less on thesame range with the fact of being big team defeaters in past times even though Freiburg currently are higher chances to winning the game. Although Freiburg are the host and so they've got the upper hand, but we hope to see the outcome of the game. |

Arsenal's defeat by West Ham was unexpected but that is also a normal thing in football. When the favorite team loses to a team that is not the favorite. Meanwhile, Aston Villa continues to crawl well and continues to climb the rankings well, albeit slowly. And if in the match against Man United, Aston Villa can win then it will be a tragedy for Arsenal. Because their position will be shifted. Arsenal lost to West Ham but Arsenal would also be happy to see Aston Villa lose to Man United.
Today Aston Villa has an easy match, namely against Burnley. But Arsenal also have an easy match against Fullham. But it looks like Liverpool will have a little difficulty this time. Because Liverpool have to face Newcastle. But seeing Liverpool being at the top of the rankings again after so long really makes me a little nostalgic. Because last season Liverpool even had difficulty getting into the top 4 rankings. But this season they are doing very well.
Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham is one which was not expected but happy for Arteta because it came in at the right time where the team will be able to make some changes and try to learn from their errors. Now there’s an Aston Villa who yes lost to Man United but are still lurking around the Top 4 spot. Aston Villa for their final match of the year will be playing at Home to Burnley; this fixture could be seen as an easy one at the Villa Park but Burnley could pull some surprises on their final match for 2023 so for safe bet I think double chancing on Aston Villa will be better. Arsenal will be away at the Craven Cottage, the stadium for fellow Londoners; this will be a fixture for Arteta and his boys to prove they can bounce back quickly from a defeat and continue their chase and I feel it’s so but for safe bet, I think we bet on the match having 2 goals and above. Liverpool will have a difficult fixture to maintain top spot and that’s against Newcastle, yes they’ve been bad but I think they’ll be a tough nut for Liverpool to crack though I feel Liverpool will come out victorious.The race for the league seems same as the race for the Top 4 spot because these are currently the most consistent teams in the league. |

Maybe this first leg will make things difficult for Roma because they have to compete away, like last season Roma were beaten by Feyenoord in an away match, if in the end Roma loses in the first leg, maybe in the second leg Roma can avenge that defeat, but I hope Jose Mourinho can beat Feyenoord to be able to qualify for the round of 16 either in the first leg or in the 2nd leg, because I want to see Roma do something like last season competing fiercely in the European league. Until they reach the final round and fighting as hard as they can to win the European league trophy.
Even so, in fact last season Roma also entered the play off round and were able to show an impressive performance, no one thought that Roma could reach the final round and fight with Sevilla even though he failed to win the trophy. But with that I can conclude that Roma is still given the opportunity to achieve results satisfying this season.
Yes, I believe Mourinho could defeat Feyenoord this season again even though his team looks pretty shaky but he’s a specialist in European competition and could help this team go to another final, like he did in the previous one, if the board could back him to get more players and strengthen their depth then winning against Feyenoord would be a little easier. Well I trust Jose Mourinho to lead his team to victory and probably another finals. Yes, the first leg will be one crazy one but I’ll still give it to Roma to be able to contain Feyenoord in the first leg and trash them out of the competition when they visit Italy. Roma got to the competition through same fate last season but this season we’ve got more fierce teams in the competition but I still believe Mourinho and Roma team could make his mark and get back on their foots. |

But this is not the whole truth. Winning the Champions League isn't easy and just look how long it took Manchester City to finally win the Champions League. Pep Guardiola has been the coach since 2016 and it took them seven attempts to finally win it. There is money needed, luck needed, high quality players needed and so on and so forth. PSG did achieve something on the domestic level and they made it into the final once as well. But they never had a coach who understood how to develop a team for many years.
The sheikhs don't necessarily have to understand a lot about football as they can hire their managers, which is what they do. But money can make a big difference if all the rest is taken care of, too. That is why it worked for Manchester City and they could establish themselves as the best team in the Premier League despite all the fierce competition.
Well Winning the UCL requires a different tactics because it’s so different from most domestic leagues and we can see from ManCity. Winning the UCL requires experience, massive investments that could last a good time. PSG needs not just the investment but also fierce competition in their league, else they’ll still remain inferior when competing with several top clubs in Europe. They can get a good manager but when the team is still playing on average in the league, then they’ll not know the full potential of themselves to be able to compete in Europe. Well hopefully more foreign investors would come investing in the Ligue 1 to make it more tougher and competitive compared to other top European leagues, however I still have this believe that with Luis Enrique they could manage to reach the semifinals in this season's tournament. |

Im not doubting the chance of al nassr to win the game in the upcoming match. Al nassr is far stronger compared to the taawoun in so many aspects. There chance will always there. Al nassr needs to play offensively against it then im sure ronaldo's squad will be winning it.
Al taawoun is still struggling with its performance after it was being humiliated by al fateh. It was a very good momentum for al nassr caused by the lost against fateh might be disrupting the mentality from the club. This is a golden time for ronaldo and his team to destroy it.
AL nassr is very still at this moment and it can beat taawoun with perfect score. Taawoun has not been favored by bookies since it was getting odds greater than 4 while al nassr was around 1.44
It's really worthy to pick al nassr in the upcoming game caused by we do know that which team that is going to win the game. Taawoun got 5.8 which is almost 6 to win against al nassr. It's worthy to take the risk but the chance is pretty small to win against al nassr.
No doubt that if people are questioning it right now. Bookies were favoring nassr coz it has perfect performances in the last five matches. It only suffers 1 lose against al hilal.
Al Nassr are a better team compared to Taawoun, who’re struggling. Al Nassr has the title chase in mind and know how important all 3 points are in this fixture; another thing is to get goals for star man, Ronaldo and by that Al Nassr would need to go all out to attack Taawoun. And with the confidence they've got from their recent 2-5 victory against Al ittihad away from home, I believe they'll do better when they meet Taawoun. Al Nassr are the best pick for this fixture and another wonderful pick will be how many rains of goals we’ll have in this match as I see Al Nassr having over 3 goals in this match. It’ll be not just a risk but quite foolish to give the win to Taawoun because they’re struggling and might not be able to match the strength of Al Nassr who are really bent on catching up to Al-Hilal, I don't think they'll likely drop more points. |
