If not based on information, upon what would you even place a bet then? Isn't the whole point in sports betting that you base your decisions on information that you think is sufficiently supportive of your picks?
If you don't bet on information that you gather, why don't you just roll the dice? No information needs to be obtained and it certainly makes sense to just roll the dice instead of betting on sports events that you have no idea about.

I do agree that Liverpool is far better than the other three, but it feels like it is not such a big deal neither, this is europa and anything could happen, Liverpool could end up losing to Sparta too, I know very unlikely but what I am trying to point out is that they are not really getting anything just because they are a good team, they need to end up playing well enough for all of them.
I think we should consider the situation that may change, Liverpool is the best one but there is no guarantee so anything could happen. I still see Leverkusen as a big title contender as well they are doing so well so far and I think there is a possibility that they may end up with some troubles here and there if they are not really careful.
Far better? Don't you see Leverkusen, AC Milan, and AS Roma there? I can agree if Liverpool is one of the top teams in UEL and will have a good chance to win the title. But I think Leverkusen, AC Milan, and AS Roma have a good chance to win title as well. Leverkusen, AC Milan, and AS Roma are strong enough to challenge Liverpool for the title. Specifically for Leverkusen, this team is still unbeatable until now. Liverpool may have the chance to get some trophies/titles. But it won't be easy to get UEL trophy, there are some strong teams here. They may give a surprise for the next match. If they will play against Liverpool, they may defeat Liverpool if Liverpool isn't ready for the match. Leverkusen yes, but I don't see Roma being on the same level. In my opinion Roma is not even close. They improved their game lately, but there is still a huge gap when you compare them to Liverpool. But I think we will get to see a nice test when Liverpool now plays against Manchester City. That's the toughest test a team can have. However, I think in a final everything is possible. If Roma can manage to make it into the final, then I wouldn't assume that they are without chances. Playing a final is always different from playing league games. |

Hi all! We all seen what Bitcoin was doing for the past month and most of us would like to get some more Bitcoin. I was waiting for a good moment to do that for about 3 weeks and in terms of buying the dip it ain't looking good. It was consolidating for so long now! Please share your thoughts on to when another correction may be expected? Thank you and have a good day  Those times are over when I tried to figure out when the next correction might happen. I would rather stick with a consistent buying strategy and follow the most important rule: don't shift your precious BTC into altcoins (aka shitcoins)! If for some reason you get the timing wrong, buy at the ATH and then BTC dumps hard, you can almost be certain that a recovery will follow, but it may take some time. Just check out when we last hit the upper 60k range. That is like 2.5 years ago. Make sure you invest money you don't need in half a year and you are on a quite safe way with your investment. Shitcoins may never recover! There are some that will probably recover because they are on the BTC bandwagon. But 99.9% of the shitcoins you can find on coinmarketcap.com will probably never go back to their ATHs. If you play that game of jumping back and forth between BTC and shitcoins long enough, you'll probably end up with empty hands. By the way, what do you even consider a correction? 3%, 10%, 50%? People like Michael Saylor (or MicroStrategy) are adding more BTC frequently. I doubt they would do it if they thought any significant correction could be possible in the near future. With significant I mean something like 25% +. We aren't even at a point where 10% is really significant. BTC is volatile and if it drops from 68k to 61k, nobody who has been around for a long time would be talking about a significant correction. It wouldn't make a huge difference for potential investors either. Whether you get in at 61k or 68k, if you are pursuing long-term goals the overall impact is most likely going to be quite little. |

...  Source: Harry KaneThe euphoria of Bayern Munich's victory over Lazio which brought them into the quarter is still very much felt. However, they have to stay on track, because the struggle ahead will be even more difficult. I'm sure that after this, Bayern Munich will focus much more and strengthen their team for this UCL. For, their hopes in the Bundesliga are very small, maybe it seems that they don't have any chance again to win the title this season. Honestly given Harry Kane's age I thought that he scored way more goals than 27 in the Champions League! But ok, he is doing the job for Bayern and it does at least pay off for them that they paid so much money for him in the sense that they know they didn't make a mistake. If they don't win any titles though, there isn't really a pay off for them financially. Anyone thinks that Bayern Munich has a say in the Champions League title race this season? That's an astounding fact! I never looked up Kane's goal count in the CL. But a quick search shows that his performance data is quite good! I overestimated the games he played in the CL, but it's only 40 games in total so far. He scored 27 goals and gave 8 assists, which is 35 contributions in 40 games and that's a top notch performance.
Bayern's chances to reach the final (let alone win the trophy) are pretty slim I think. The game against Lazio was okay, but considering how the goals were scored, everyone knows that there was some luck involved and it is still a Lazio team that is completely out of shape. If they played against Manchester City, I think Bayern would lose by a significant margin. |

This source of mine claims that Manchester United have sent their scouts to watch the 22-year-old Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. He seems like a talented striker. He was really decent at Anderlecht but the previous season didn't went very productive for him. He didn't have a very long playing time here then though. Now he is getting more playing time and he is doing a good work as well. 10 goals and 4 goals in 26 games is not bad at all considering he is still young. But Manchester United already have a young striker like Hojlund who is talented too. Do they need another such player for the position now?  I remember when Zirkzee was still playing for Bayern Munich and he had this insane ratio of goals per minutes played as a substitution player. He literally entered the pitch and scored within minutes. But I never considered him a great player. He had some instinct obviously or otherwise he wouldn't have scored as much, but some of the goals he scored were just goals that probably 9/10 other players would have scored as well. It was nothing spectacular like a huge run and dribbling. It was more like right place at the right time and some balls luckily got there. When Bayern Munich decided to sell him, I thought it was the right decision. Now at Bologna he is doing amazing without a doubt, but I would still argue that he is not the player who could improve a team like Manchester United. This doesn't mean he is bad, but when a team like ManU wants to add quality to their team to become a major team in the Premier League again, is Zirkzee the right choice? I don't think so. |

Ancelotti have done a great job by bringing together young talents into the club before he leaves, this will serve as a trademark for him even after he’d left the club to continue his career elsewhere. He has already built and shaped the future of Real Madrid with the young players he has assembled so far. They don’t have Mbappe in their frontline this season and they still stand the chance to win the champions league trophy among other top contenders. I just imagine if Mbappe was part of the squad, they will only become more brutal and hard to win. He will be joining them by next season, I can’t wait to see another great team full of youngsters that can not be easily defeated in football again.
Ancelotti has done a great job, but it is of course easier to do in a club like Real Madrid than in almost any other club as Real Madrid is a magnet for the best talent available. They also have great scouting, so it is not like Ancelotti is doing the whole job on his own. Further, he had to make some decisions because they were out of luck in the transfer market a couple of times. Perhaps Rodrygo wouldn't even be playing on a regular basis if Mbappe joined Real Madrid two years ago. But how he put the team together was great work so far. As you said, Mbappe needs no development and would instantly become the superstar in the team. I guess he would take a leading role next to Bellingham and it would probably push down Bellingham's scoring statistics as he would fill his role less as a center forward. These days Bellingham is found quite often in the center forward position during some phases of the games. I think that the time he spends in that position during games would decrease if Mbappe now finally signs a contract with Real Madrid. |

Sometimes I wish If I could have been among those who knew the truth about bitcoin investment early around 2017 but I'm far from that and its quite unfortunate especially when you were holding onto some falsehood knowledge but I Thank God I can see things crystal clear now.
Though I can't accumulate more as you all but I hope in 20 years time I will be like you old folks speaking about bitcoin and I guess others will also view me as an earlier investor then
Well, your forum registration date is a year and a half, so there could be some possibilities that you could have come into bitcoin swinging and even front loaded your investment - but yeah, even with that, it would likely still be difficult to catch up to the earlier investors - which might be part of the legitimacy of the statement that "time in the market" is better than "timing the market."So, you can choose your level of aggressiveness, and maybe it won't take 20 years for you to start to feel like an OG. Many of us had started to feel somewhat like an OG after making it through 1 whole bitcoin cycle - and the more that you focus on BTC and don't get distracted by bullshit, then likely the better progress that you would be able to make within your own parameters. Another thing is that you are likely your own best competitor in terms of figuring out ways to compete against yourself in terms of figuring out ways to help to make your own situation better without overly damaging yourself along the way. The "time in the market" is better than "timing the market." phrase is very true and I think it will hold true for quite a while into the future. When people compare BTC to gold, which is not per se wrong with respect to some characteristics, they think that there must be some price ceiling and we could be close to it already as the gold price isn't really expected to explode from here. But BTC has characteristics that gold doesn't have and one of these characteristics is that everyone around the world with a few clicks can get their hands on a piece of a revolutionary network of value preservation and limitless value mobility. Not everybody has gold simply because not everybody wants gold. But the number people that have their eyes on BTC is increasing on a daily basis and I believe we are nowhere near saturation. Whatever someone thinks about Blackrock and others now trying to dominate BTC markets and derivative products and what not, it is still something positive in the sense that all the retail investors can ride the wave that these gangsters are creating. And they are certainly not in it to jump ship one or two years later. They understand that the market for digital value is scalable like nothing has ever been scalable before. |

Bitcoin is on a bull run, so investors are encouraged to capitalise on this bull run. To Make The most of the bull run consider investing and staying informed on trends. 2024 is exciting for Bitcoin, Bitcoin's strong performance this year is indeed impressive. It is a great opportunity for investors. To invest in a bull market is considered you buy when the price is rising and of which there is a significant potential growth.
During a bitcoin bullish market indulging in a good investment and capitalising on it will be the difference that will take your profit to another level, some popular strategies. Buy bitcoin by implying DCA method to accumulate because bitcoin now is $52 and it's expected to hit $100k by end of the year so there will be gains if capitalise on it right now don't wait for the DIP . Then HODl to maximise your profit and reduce loses , consider using Relative strength index (RSI) to make good HODL decisions, DYOR to navigate through the market, Then you can consider taking profit with strategies when the price is right for you. Bull markets can be dangerous if you let greed cloud your decisions, so consider selling gradually as the Market peaks. It is not too late to capitalise on a Bitcoin bull run and making profit is guaranteed with its potential growths of Bitcoin.
But who says that "it's expected to hit $100k by end of the year..."? I would seriously like to ask 10 of those self-proclaimed experts like Mike Novogratz and I bet that most of them wouldn't get close to the actual end of the year price with their estimates. When a ton of gurus throws out their estimates into the wild, of course some of them will be right, but that doesn't actually make them a guru. This time one thing is almost certain: there is so much institutional momentum involved in the price development that we won't crash to 20k again. I think governments and organizations alike have understood that owning BTC is obligatory. There is no specific number anyone should own, but disregarding it altogether can't be a smart move. Whether you take the Russian or the American government stance on BTC, I am quite sure that both of them own tons of BTC.It wouldn't be particularly smart to publicly tell the world how great BTC is if the goal is to accumulate a lot of it before it goes to the moon and becomes geopolitically relevant. That's why I think this bull run still has a lot of momentum left in the tank. But I couldn't give a reasonable guess where the price could peak in 2024. |

Yesterday I hit my 3,000 since starting the challenge and I did it with sets of 33/33/34. I started today off with a set of 34 but have fallen behind due to some unforeseen plumbing emergency work which is now behind me. We’ll see if I’ll be able to keep this up or not, but so far so good. If so, I think two sets of 50 by the halving is a possibility. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to get a single set in of 100 the day we hit $100K.
Stay with it!
A single set of 100 that will be massive!! I know it's still possible, I have been able to be doing 3 sets of 40/30/30. Consistency got me this far. I saw an improvement when I first started 5 sets of 20/20/20/20/20. At some point I noticed that my first trial in the morning I was getting up to 30 and above. So I reduced it to 4 sets and from there to my present 3 sets. Hopefully I will reduce to 2 sets. I just hope I can achieve it. It's really good to exercise the body I must confess. It does of course depend on your overall health level in the very beginning, but the adaptation is fast as mobilizing muscle fibers as a beginner is mostly about activating the central nervous system. That's why the performance curve often looks like a log curve. But most people have far more potential available than they think. For someone to do 50/60/70 push ups, it's as you said: consistency! The muscle volume comes into player later down the road when the sets get really nasty, like closer to 100. That's my experience. Now I have to admit I haven't been doing push ups in quite a while, but there are some of these amazing videos. I don't know if you guys shared this here, but there are some guys who do more than 2,000 push ups in 60 minutes, which is absolutely insane. But I like the challenge here: better get started somewhere than never get started anywhere! |

Things were not bad in early rounds of this season but as they are suffering due to finances teams performance is also going down which is surely concern for them, and now we have uncertainty about how things will be gone in next season because Xavi is going, and they are not capable of having new players which can increase their performance and quality which is important for the challenge of title in next season as well but if they are able to settle things surely we can expect something good otherwise they are going to be in the deepest trouble with debit is almost huge and just one option is available if they are able to bring new owner which will hold this all with his money then all will be back otherwise nothing is going to change, and we will have them down.
The team finances have been sucking for years now and why would a player suddenly play worse because there is a headline in the newspaper once again that the club is suffering from financial distress? The players will get paid as Barcelona knows that if they deny the players the proper payment, what is the probability that new top players will sign contracts with Barcelona in the future? That's not how this works. Last year Barcelona won the La Liga title and did they suffer from financial distress? Yes they did and yet it had no impact on their performance in La Liga. I think that this season it turned out Barcelona is too far behind Real Madrid in regards to the quality of the squad. Real Madrid played a bad season last year. Real Madrid had 7 points less at the same matchday while Barcelona was at 71 points. This season Barcelona's biggest problem is the defense as they have the worst defense of all the top teams. Conceding five! goals against Villareal at home. |

Do you think a celebrity who turns down a multi-million dollar deal solely because the organization doesn't allow him smoking weed is a reckless financial decision?
Keep in mind this definition of reckless financial decision - It entails when a person makes choices that involve significant financial risk or lack of consideration for the potential consequences.
What other reckless financial decision do you know or have heard of?
Well, accepting a deal that has long-term negative consequences down the road could be more reckless than actually accepting the deal. I don't know what celebrity you are talking about, but when you take Snoop Dog as an example, I think any deal that forbids him to smoke weed would probably harm him more than it would do him good financially. If these guys are active in the cannabis industry, their lifestyle is part of their marketing agenda. What good would it be to sign a multi-million dollar deal with whatever brand that has nothing or not much to do with the agenda that these celebrities are pushing otherwise? I think it is all about the balance between the cons and pros and without knowing which celebrity you are talking about, it is hardly possible to give a more specified opinion on the topic. You could look at this from all angles anyway. Reckless financial decisions that I remember from the top of my head is something like Ronald Wayne selling his 10% equity share in Apple for a total of $2300 in 1976/1977. Or Steve Ballmer who refused to look into smartphones when he was still Microsoft CEO. You could argue that Elon Musk buying Twitter for over $40 billion paid way too much. But since it serves his agenda, he might not have cared about paying a premium. |

He didn’t make such a direct comment, he answered, when asked who he would like to become teammates with between Messi and Ronaldo that he would prefer to be teammates with Ronaldo because Messi is more of a playmaker just as himself and Ronaldo is more of a striker so as a playmaker all he needs is a striker and not a playmaker. He also mentioned that if he was opportuned to play alongside Ronaldo he might probably end up being the player with most assists in history because of Ronaldo’s clinicality.
Of course Al Nassr are linked to De Bruyne but I don’t think an official offer have been made but i do believe he is likely to join Al Nassr if an offer is submitted. It would be nice to see these two play together so we can witness some mind blowing combo, and if they eventually play together it would be a huge boost for the Saudi pro league.
De Bruyne is special and world class and i would love to see him partner with Ronaldo before they retire.
Whether he made that comment or not, never in the world would De Bruyne decide to go to Al-Nassr because Ronaldo is playing there. How ridiculous would that be? We are talking about one of the best midfielders in the world and that guy isn't a little kid anymore. Mbappe said that his idol once was Cristiano Ronaldo, but does anyone think that Mbappe would therefore go to Al-Nassr now because his dream as a child was to once play together with Ronaldo? Seriously, but this is kindergarten in my opinion. Even thinking that is ridiculous. These grown up world stars follow their own path and if that path means crossing ways with Ronaldo, then so be it, but other than that they have their own careers and would never in their lifetime make such a decision. De Bruyne has definitely other plans for the next few years. I don't think the time has come for him to disappear into the desert of Saudi Arabia. How old is De Bruyne? He is 32 years old bro so it’s just as you said he is not a little kid anymore so sooner or later he will get to a retirement age where he wouldn’t be valuable and relevant in Europe anymore and to continue playing he would have to decide whether he should retire or play in a league where he would be valued and relevant. De Bruyne is already old and we can see that from the way he plays, it is obvious that he won’t play active football for a long time anymore just as it happens to other players. When a player gets to a retirement age all that is important to them is how they can make more money for their families when they retire so I don’t think De Bruyne would reject an offer from a Saudi team when he draws closer to retirement. It’s the best thing to do and Al Nassr is not a bad team, they have good quality players now and they are currently doing well so i don’t see any reason why De Bruyne wouldn’t want to join them. Then open your eyes wide and see how much impact he has on the game. That is what counts, Ronaldo was old when he turned 32 and yet he was important enough to win titles for his team and with his team and the same applies to De Bruyne. He isn't getting tired of running and he has this sharp precision that nobody else has. I doubt that it is time for him to retire or to go to Saudi Arabia and waste some precious years of his privileged career. |

As per my definition a humiliating defeat is when somebody loses something of importance, but in all honesty if PSG lost this game, it wouldn't have changed anything. They are so far ahead that I think we will get to see more often games where it looks as if their opponent in the domestic league could beat them. But it doesn't matter after all because they can easily afford to lose a couple of games while focusing on the Champions League, if this is what their intention is. But I doubt that we will see the best game possible for as long as they have this comfortable lead and don't have to fear that the title could be at threat. The league is essentially over and I doubt that PSG is playing these league games at 100% of their capacity.
With the 11 point lead they have I think I agree with you. There would be nothing embarrassing if PSG lost to Rennes in that match. Maybe it will be a great achievement for Rennes fans as they will become the second team to beat PSG. But for PSG it will not change anything in the standings table. I think currently PSG is focusing on the Champions League match. They can play without pressure in league matches because of the points advantage they have. I think the teams that actually need to work hard to maintain their position are Brest and Monaco because their points are not much different from those ranked below them. I think the fight for the 2 remaining tickets to the Champions League will be very interesting to watch. Yes they can play without pressure and yet they will win most of their games because the difference in quality of the teams across the whole league is too big. There is PSG and then there is nothing for a very long time until maybe Monaco or some team has decent quality, but none of the teams can get remotely close to what PSG has in their team. That's why the upcoming results can't be taken fully seriously. If in this phase of the season when PSG is 11 points ahead some team wins against them or ties a game, it doesn't mean that it was an extraordinary performance of that team. It is more likely that PSG just doesn't care anymore, which is quite boring to be honest. |

Too bad that the league is over already and that it doesn't really matter whether PSG loses or not. The biggest issue is that even if they lose this game, it would require another team to win like at least six or seven games in a row to have a chance to close the gap. PSG won't lose several games in a row, but it is as unlikely that any other team could win so many games in a row.
For Renne it would be three big points if they can maintain their lead and win the game as that would still keep them in the race for the Champions League qualification. It would make it four points and the teams ahead of them aren't brilliant either.
Victory was in sight, but Rennes failed to achieve it. PSG were awarded a penalty in the final minutes of the match, thus saving them from a humiliating defeat. The final score of 1-1 kept PSG comfortably at the top of the standings, although the result of this match was certainly very disappointing for Enrique fleet. Rennes itself is experiencing an increase in performance in Ligue 1, and last week they managed to beat Milan in the Europa League play off round. However, luck seemed to be on their side only half way today. Goncalo Ramos managed to be the savior, and saved PSG at the Parc des Princes. If they manage to get 3 points, Rennes can move up to 6th place, past Lens, and open up a big opportunity to finish in the Europa League zone. In fact, they still have the chance to finish in the top four of the standings, because they are only 5 points adrift of Nice, who are currently in fourth place. As per my definition a humiliating defeat is when somebody loses something of importance, but in all honesty if PSG lost this game, it wouldn't have changed anything. They are so far ahead that I think we will get to see more often games where it looks as if their opponent in the domestic league could beat them. But it doesn't matter after all because they can easily afford to lose a couple of games while focusing on the Champions League, if this is what their intention is.

Fulham can break the bad trend at Old Traford. After 21 years without a win, Fulham was finally able to win 1-2. After a good trend in 7 matches they finally lost at home. It seems that Hojlound's injury is making Man United difficult. They also did not perform well in the extra minutes of the second half. This made Man United lose 3 points. The chances of entering the Europa League Zone are getting harder again. Luckily Totenham also lost to Wolves, so their point gap is not far.
This was one of those games that would have cost me the bet slip but damn thank god I didn't submit anything. Exactly during times when everyone thinks that Ten Hag is getting things done and getting things right and that Manchester United is on the right path to qualify for the Europa League at least, I thought that this must be a guaranteed win at Old Trafford. I guess everybody thought that. But what is really insane is how equal that game was. It wasn't as if Fulham had only two attempts and was lucky enough to hit them both. Fulham had lots of attempts and was able to create so many chances over the course of the whole game that in summary it must be said that this game was several steps back for Manchester United. With that shape I doubt that they will achieve anything of significance this season. |

I already told my friend that this match would not be an easy one for Liverpool because Chelsea Football club has a very strong resistance for big teams except Manchester United which they always find difficult to resist. Recall that in the last match between Chelsea and Manchester City, they drew the match, this is a strong evidence to show that Chelsea has a strong resistance for big teams.
Chelsea had no reason not to win this match because Liverpool did not play with their first team due to the fact that some of their top players were injured. I was hoping that Chelsea will play well during this match considering the team they played with today. I see Pochettino leaving Chelsea trophiless because Chelsea has the highest history of sacking coaches.
What reason would a team have or not have to win a final or to just let it go? These two teams did play a final and I doubt that any of them thought too much about the next games and therefore rotated. Klopp is known for rotation and of course he wanted to win this final as much he wants to win everything he can. I am quite sure that he is super proud about this title even though it doesn't mean as much as other titles, but getting the party started for his goodbye tour could have been worse. Winning this title is one more for his Liverpool era collection and the fans have something to celebrate. It was quite a good game given that so many starts have been missing, but to be honest Liverpool is still a very respectable team even if some players are not on the pitch that are usually part of the core of the team. |

...
Yep and the example in this case is not far from the previous Liverpool coaches such as Rafa Benitez or even Klopp because when talking about the quality of their game as players in the past, no one will know them but for now being a coach, they are definitely one of the coaches who will be glimpsed after all it is a proof that being a player and coach are 2 very different things. At present it seems to have become a trend for several clubs where they are looking for coaches who come from their previous players who have retired in the hope that those who have coached must know the ins and outs that occur in a club that he once defended but in the end this is also like a gamble because not all can do it well so for Liverpool they would be better if they think carefully about their plans if it is true that Gerrard is a successor to Klopp. I think it has been like that for a very long time that coaches get sourced from former squads. Pep Guardiola is no different. Zidane and many others, I think in the Serie A there are quite a few coaches who have been good players before. But it makes a lot of sense in my opinion, it is just not a guarantee that a good player is a good coach. If you have these modernly educated new coaches who have never been good players themselves, I think the clubs fear that there is too much distance between theory and practice as you can't mostly learn the sport from the books. That is why I find some of the careers remarkable. I guess Mourinho was the biggest surprise among coaches who have not been players (not good players) and yet became very successful coaches? I am not sure who else would be a good example. |

Juventus 3 - 2 Frosinoni
the situation of the top positions is becoming very interesting to follow, the juventus that played against frosinoni managed to win thanks to luck in a game in which juventus scored the first goal in the 3rd minute, it seemed that juventus would be able to come out of this game with an easy victory , but in the 14th minute Frosinoni scored an equalizer, it was only 11 minutes that Juventus had the advantage. then Frosinoni managed to score the second goal, but to their surprise Juventus scored an equalizer 5 minutes later and the game was tied until the 1 half ended, in the 2 half it seemed that the Juventus attack players didn't know the location from the opponent's goal, they wasted good opportunities, but were lucky to manage to score a goal in the final minutes of the game. This is an important victory for Juventus, but they will have to count on luck if they want to win the title
Cagliari 1 - 1 Napoli
Napoli's situation is not good, with this draw they are in position number 9 and are very far from positions that would allow them to be in the European champions league, for example the difference in points between second place and 20 points is something shocking , we are talking about that Napoli, which is in position 9, has a difference of 20 points in relation to Juventus, which is in second position, and in relation to the team in third position, Napoli has a difference of 15 points, and in relation to the team in position number 3 has a difference of 11 points. I honestly see Napoli having a lot of difficulty finishing at least in 4th place.
Bologna and Atalanta will have very difficult games in the next games. with atalanta having 6 difficult games in the next games while bologna will only have 2 difficult games this could benefit roma if they manage to win today and the next 3 complicated games because napoli will have 5 next games that are much more complicated in relation to roma. I don't see Napoli being able to finish in 4th place, unfortunately this season was very humiliating for Napoli as they are 26 points behind the leader of the table and they have already changed 2 coaches this season if memory serves me correctly, it's a big disaster
Lucky punch for Juventus Turin in this game and it could have well ended in a draw. I don't think it matters all that much as I just can't imagine how Inter Milan would drop so many points that this fight for the Scudetto becomes exciting again, but for the sake of keeping the hope alive, I think this late goal was a very important one. Juventus is in the middle of nowhere at the moment. They won't drop out of the Champions League qualification zone and at the same time they have Inter ahead of them, which is quite demotivating for them.
Cagliari - Napoli I think the result sums it up perfectly and when you have a look at the game statistics, it is what Napoli is all about this season. They have the ball, they are trying hard, but they can't win the games. They are superior in some respects, but fail to make use of that advantage most of the time. This is again a real Napoli game this season. |

Too bad that the league is over already and that it doesn't really matter whether PSG loses or not. The biggest issue is that even if they lose this game, it would require another team to win like at least six or seven games in a row to have a chance to close the gap. PSG won't lose several games in a row, but it is as unlikely that any other team could win so many games in a row.
For Renne it would be three big points if they can maintain their lead and win the game as that would still keep them in the race for the Champions League qualification. It would make it four points and the teams ahead of them aren't brilliant either.
