Bayern have 10 points more than Dortmund, so it is logical that Bayern are clear favorites in the home game against Dortmund. But Dortmund will try their best in this game since Leipzig is only one point behind them and can push Dortmund out of the top 4. Such an outcome to the season would be catastrophic for Dortmund. In general, we can say with a high degree of confidence that the BTTS bet will play in the Bayern - Dortmund game.
I also have 100% assurance that Bayern Munich will win the match with any doubt because of the following reasons:
1- Bayern won four and drew one in their last five matches against Dortmund; this means that Dortmund didn’t win any of their last five matches against Bayern Munich.

2- Bayern Munich did not lose any of their last five matches in all competitions, while Dortmund lost one and won four.

3- Bayern Munich will try to reduce the points gap between them and Leverkusen even if they will not be able to meet up again this season, but the 10 points gap is too big for them; because of that, I don’t think they can lose any match now because they have recovered a bit after some inconsistent performances.

The way the Gunners are so eager to get their hands on City is like Man City are the only team they have to beat to win the league title. We know how important this game is for both clubs and I don't think Manchester City have topped the league and stay at the top for more than a day since the beginning of this campaign.
Liverpool have been at the top and now we have the Gunners sitting at the top but City are waiting for the right moment (it could be on Sunday) to be at the top and we know how they did it last season but this time around I feel Arsenal are not going to let it happen again.
Another thing that got me thinking, since the race for the title is a three man horse race, if Arsenal lose or draw to City is it the end for Arsenal to struggle to get to the top and winning the league?🤔
Just as you say that if Arsenal lose the game, it will be the end of the struggle, that’s what Manchester City is also seeing. But people like you that are not seeing the reality are always bias and always give Man City the credit even though we know that they don’t have that adequate squad depth they used to have, and Liverpool and Arsenal are here to challenge them this time.
Not only Arsenal fans, other fans don’t also want Manchester City to win the league again this season because they have dominated the Premier League for more than six years now, that’s why Arsenal’s been supported by many fans to see if they can be able to win the league this time because they failed to win last season after being at the top of the Premier League table for long and been overtaken by City.

Roma doesn't really look like "that" much better to me. They are better than they used to be, there is no doubt about that, but we are talking about something that is not really all that much different in the end, we are talking about a team that went from bad to decent but still not at Liverpool levels.

This means that at the end we are going to see Liverpool win it all, that's not going to change. I get that some people may feel like maybe Roma will do better than expected but I do not think that's true, I think that Roma will do fine but will not beat these better teams. However, they can go for fourth place at the league and they should focus on that, a UCL place next season could mean so much money and better players.
Roma is not up to Liverpool's standard and they are not up to Leverkusen’s standard, I am not expecting to do something special in the Europa League. The new manager De Rossi is trying his best to change the game pattern of play to his taste so that the team can perform well against next season.

I am giving this Europa League to either Liverpool or Bayer Leverkusen because these teams were very good since the beginning of the season and they are both in the battle of winning their domestic leagues.

Arsenal's ambition is of course about 3 points at the Etihad and leading the standings, but Manchester City's ambition is to try to defend their title and win every game. Arsenal will lead the standings if they win, but if Manchester City wins then Liverpool will be in the lead, especially if Liverpool can beat Brighton.
Arsenal huge ambition for beating Manchester City in front of their fans and has opportunity for premier league trophy this season, but Manchester City won't loss any point yet when playing on their home with one point left from Arsenal and Liverpool has chance return to 1st or 2nd place depend on Liverpool match result.
Liverpool can beat Brighton Albion and Manchester City or Arsenal don't make match result draw, its give advantage for Liverpool if can win from Brighton has two points from Arsenal and three points from Manchester City.
Premier League format with goal difference and not matter with lead head to head home and away match, Liverpool lack goal productivities must scoring many goals on every matches left.
Arsenal ambition to get the complete three points at Etihad stadium which will be difficult for them because Manchester City haven’t lost any match at Etihad stadium this season; for this reason, I am also thinking that Manchester City will win the match because if they lose the match, they will slightly lose their chance of winning the Premier League this season. Nevertheless, Arsenal will not also let them beat them easily because they knew what Manchester City did to them last season; they (Arsenal) will want to make history by defeating Manchester City to give them more hope of winning the league. Therefore, I am expecting a draw in the match.

There's always confidence for Carlo Ancelotti, he believes in his army and he knows, bringing to Santiago Bernabéu the UCL title and also in for the La Liga title, really a good run for the team this season. Carlo Ancelotti is going nowhere because he has more work to actually trigger for Real Madrid this season. We know how rough this season have been for them but they took the bull by the horn. Real Madrid are already leading on the table and will become more competitive when they have eyes on the title.
This your confidence on Real Madrid and Ancelotti is too much, you are taking it too fast because you are already saying that they will win the Champions League this season. Remember that they will be playing against Manchester City in the quarterfinal, if they are able to eliminate Manchester City, then you can have a loud voice to say all these because the chances is still 50/50 since Manchester City is the defending Champions and they eliminated Madrid last season; we can’t conclude yet even though we know the experience Madrid had when it comes to Champions League football.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to buy players for next season. Ivan Toney and Morgan Gibbs-White were targeted by Arsenal. If you look at Arsenal, many transfer players from the EPL. This means they buy players who already have experience in the EPL. They don't want to risk the adaptation of failed players. These two players also have not bad statistics, they deserve to join Arsenal. I think Arteta didn't choose this player wrong either.

The transfer case of Mudryk to Chelsea has thought Arsenal a good lesson.
Instead of buying a player from another League and wait for him to adapt to the Premier League style of play for months, you should rather buy a Premier League player that already have experience; Trossard and Declan Rice has been a very good signing for Arteta that is why he is making emphasis on Ivan Toney and some Premier League strikers to add more pressure power in the attacking zone.

Today in the news they write that Kane has returned to training in the general group, and this means that he will be ready to play for the game with Dortmund. Apparently the doctors of Bayern FC quickly dealt with the damage he received (and it turned out to be not serious).
If he had dropped out for the Champions League games, it could have been a disaster for Bayern. Even with him, they were not the favorites in this pair, and without him they would have literally no trump card.
This is a good news for Bayern Munich fans and a bad news to Dortmund and Arsenal fans, because he is the only player that will give Arsenal tension up front even though there are other wingers like Sane, Gnabray, and others that are good and dangerous, Kane is a striker that knows how to score Arsenal all the times because he have good goal to against Arsenal in his time while playing for Tottenham.

Dortmund on the other hand will not be happy with his return because they have played several matches against Bayern Munich without victory, and they are battling to make it to Champions League next season that is why they wanted to win every match they will be playing from now till the end of the season if they wants to overtake Stuttgart that has already given them six points gap. They know the quality of Bayern even without a prolific striker, talk less of now that they have Kane that is scoring goals for fun. I think Dortmund needs to be very serious this time because Bayern Munich don’t also wants to lose any match.

so for beginners here, pay attention to the minimum deposit on your exchange because it may change according to the exchange's policies.
This is a good reminder for people that are coming into cryptocurrency new, and to some of us that are already into it for a while that there is always minimum deposit in most of these exchanges and that any amount below the minimum deposit that is deposited will be lost and I don’t know who owns the coin.

Most exchanges always showed their minimum withdrawal of all coins when you are trying to make withdrawal, it is usually above minimum deposit for other exchanges. Advisability, always confirm the minimum deposit of any exchange you are sending money to before initiating the transaction.

Is this a question or a guide and recommendations you are given Binance exchange?
Of course we do experience such cases while doing p2p transactions on exchanges, but we are always safe since the exchange always stand as escrow to monitor the transactions till the end.

I always feel that p2p transactions while selling crypto to fiat is safer than while buying coin with fiat because you will be holding your coins till the payment is confirmed by you before releasing the coin to the buyer; that’s why when ever I wanted buying with fiat, I usually buy with little amounts repeatedly to avoid been scammed.

Hi there to all of you. I haven't been active on this forum  due to the demanding nature of my work as an interior decorator. However, recently, I've noticed that bitcoin is rising in value on the global market, and this has my interest in Bitcoin. I would like to know how people typically manage to balance their offline and online work, and how I can adjust to this.
You come back because you don’t want to miss out in the profit people that invested in Bitcoin will have if not since you don’t have time, you can keep doing your interior decoration that gives you pleasure. There is nothing bad if you invest in Bitcoin with your earnings, but make sure you understand the concept Bitcoin before doing that, and avoid altcoins and some sheet coins that can drain you completely because sheet coins are not reliable. Invest only on Bitcoin since you don’t we time to monitor the coins.
191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Upon the death of a bitcoin user. on: March 26, 2024, 02:07:04 PM
I have come to stay in this community and thought of one thing which has been bothering me.
Relating from our traditional banks where a bank customer dies and all his assets remains unclaimed by his relatives. I was once told that there was a bank manager who withdrew funds from there customer dormant accounts hopefully that the owners are dead as those account has been dormant for years without any form of activity on the account, it happens when no relative knows about the account for them to lay claims.
Banks usually demand for next of kin because of issues like death and dismissal of the account owner so that they can contact the next of kin when the need arises, and when the bank account owner is dead, the next of kin and other family relatives can submit his death certificate to the bank and gain access to all the money in the account after following due process.

Quote
Similarly to bitcoin what happens in the event of my dismissal since no relative knows about my investment. It doesn't really make sense if my family can't enjoy my wealth. Will it be lost or is it good to entrust someone incase I'm no longer there?
Bitcoin when hold in your personal wallet can be accessed if you shared your private key to any of your relatives or friend, but if you did not share your private key with anybody, your Bitcoin is gone forever.

However, if you save them in an exchange wallet, if your device is still active and someone can have access to your phone password, they might access your exchanges on your phone and can probably get access to your coins.

There is one week left for next round games to be underway. This week seems like a golden opportunity for Liverpool for now. Because you know there is a big game at Etihad like Manchester City - Arsenal. I assume Liverpool wouldn't leave the Brighton game at Anfield by a loss right?   Grin  It would be a shame if it happens as they have to take advantage of every chance for the title.
It will be an opportunity for Liverpool to top the league again if Arsenal lose or draw to Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, but it is not yet certain for Liverpool to win their match against Brighton at Anfield either even though they stand a chance to win the match.

If we look statistically, Liverpool did not have good winning record against Brighton in their last five matches, in fact, Brighton won twice, and they drew one, while Liverpool won only one; this is clearly showing that anything can happen especially a draw in the match.

Quote
Manchester City can be really unpredictable in such games. A draw in this game would be the best result for Liverpool but they wouldn't say no to Arsenal's losing either at worst. Let's see whether Klopp will manage to make Liverpool champions one last time before leaving.  Smiley
Liverpool will prefer Arsenal winning the match because they will enjoy being behind Arsenal than Manchester City because of how good City was in the previous seasons; nevertheless, if Arsenal win, Liverpool will be happier than if Manchester City win the match, but if the match ended in a draw it will give Liverpool more hope of winning the league this season.

Man City is the favorite because they seem to have a more promising performance than Real Madrid but that doesn't mean that Real Madrid doesn't have a chance in this match because, after all, Real Madrid is still one of the big teams that has a good history in the Champions League. Last season they failed and had to admit that Man City was superior to them but I think Real Madrid will definitely also use that as a lesson so that they don't fall into the same hole.
And don’t you think Champions League experience will give Madrid the higher chance to eliminate Manchester City?
Remember their last two seasons semifinal encounter where Manchester City won the first leg and Real Madrid shocked them with the second leg late win to make it to the finals; although Manchester City tried last season by eliminating Madrid to reach the final but this season as we can see that City isn’t good compared to last season likewise Madrid too, that is why the match will be hard to predict.

Manchester City since last season are better than Madrid, therefore let’s see if they can eliminate Madrid this time.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 22, 2024, 04:54:18 PM
Brest is one team that has really surprised me in the Ligue 1 this season and so I have tried to look at their performance and how they managed to get to the second position displacing Nice and the rest of the other tea.s who has been looking more promising to get to the top of the table but then currently their form isn't looking like such that can help them get to the second position on that table as at this time.

The top position actually belongs to PSG as at this time and its not an arguable one because they are already over nine points away from Brest who happens to be at the second position on the table who are trying to get to the top but getting to the top will means they will have to win almost four straight matches and PSG will aswell lose same number of games too which this almost not possible because PSG isn't going to allow such set back befall them not at this time of the season when they are almost close to the trophy and I'm sure they wouldn't want that which happened to them the other time where they were close to winning and they lost the trophy to happen to them again.

If PSG even loose their next game, they wouldn't even have much to loose because they will still be at the top of the table and still, without any team been able to displace them from their position at the top but then they still have to make sure to maintain the gap so they don't have to be pressured from the Ligue 1 while they still have the champion's league to still play aswell, they still remains the favorite for the Ligue 1 this season.
Nice performance didn’t baffles me as Monaco’s inconsistency.
Monaco and Nice are the two teams that should compete with PSG for the League 1 title, but they both did not look serious and allowed PSG to be topping the table despite PSG’s poor start of the season.

Brest is doing very well this time, they tried to overtake the likes of Monaco, Lille, and Nice; I believe their main aim is to make it to the  Champions League next season and if they keep playing consistently, they will surely make it.

By next week,we will be seeing teams in action again in the UEFA champions league and one of the games I will looking forward to watching is Mancity vs Real Madrid.This game is really going to be a tough games that will continue till extra time .At this point in time,all the teams are very careful of what they are doing,and try not to make any costly mistakes that will cause the teams to loose.But if I am to make my predictions on this game,I think Real Madrid will edge it to the Semi final of the tournament,leaving Pep Guardiola's side devastated,and the moment that happens, Guardiola would want to move to another team.
The way people are anticipating to see that match is something interesting; these teams are champions and are the two favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season, but this quarterfinal draw has changed some narratives because one of these teams will have to be eliminated in this round, but there is hope that one of these teams will be among the finalists this season.

In this match, I am seeing Manchester City qualifying ahead of Real Madrid in my opinion because of recent form and quality of players. Although, Real Madrid is a team with huge Champions League experience, they can qualify because of that and because Ancelotti is a good coach that can make it happen.

Augsburg is really crazy, they shot up from the bottom position until finally they are now in 7th place in the standings. This cannot be separated from their 4 consecutive wins and it is the same as they managed to collect 12 additional points. In the last 5 matches they only lost to Mainz and after that they managed to beat their opponents.
I have gone through Augsburg matches of the season, I see how they started the season with inconsistent performance which lead them down the Bundesliga table, but teams like Augsburg, Freiburg, Hoffenheim, and Bremen did not deserve to stay at the bottom of the table, they are usually mid table teams, that is why I was not surprised with the four consecutive wins Augsburg did to get back to the mid table before it become too late for them.

Quote

I think it's quite rare to see their recent performance improve so sharply, but they can't be happy yet because there are still teams behind them who are trying to get them back. Augsburg's next match will be against Koln and it shouldn't be a difficult match for them, especially since previously they also managed to beat fairly balanced teams like Wolfburg and others. An additional 3 points will make them closer to Frankfurt and at the same time be in contention for European competitions.
Their match against Koln will be a bit difficult, but with their last five matches performance, I think it will be easier for them to win Klon this season even though their first leg match was a draw.
Klon gave good winning records against Augsburg, but with their recent performance, I think Augsburg will be at advantage to get the three points and move closer to their European competition dreams.

I don’t think that these games have anything to do with the way things are today. This was 7 years ago. Who remains on the teams from those times? Müller, Neuer and a couple of other dinosaurs, but that's not the point: Müller may not have changed much over the years (a lot, actually), but both teams have changed a lot.
On paper, Arsenal is stronger now, but it is difficult to predict how it will all end because Bayern knows how to play high pressing, and Arsenal plays poorly without the ball. Everything will depend on whether the players can implement the tactical plans of the coaches.
Past records are important to be considered in football especially in the Champions League football. Bayern Munich has been one of the teams that always eliminated Arsenal in the Champions League for some years back, before it used to aggregate elimination because Arsene Wenger was good then and he always try his best to make sure Arsenal pass through Bayern, but unfortunately, he wasn’t able to do that and his last two season was the worst one on which Bayern defeated Arsenal 5-1 in three consecutive encounters.
Nevertheless, this is history, and Arsenal is in another form and not in the previous form just as Bayern Munich is now. I don’t think Bayern can be that good to beat Arsenal again home and away, I am not denying the facts that they qualify ahead of Arsenal, but they will struggle to eliminate Arsenal. Arsenal
Can also eliminate them.

We can't really argue which club is going to win the competition because Leverkusen and Liverpool have never met. I hope it will come true soon. Only if Leverkusen and Liverpool consistently win the game in the quarter-final.
That's gonna be the first time leverkusen to play against liverpool.
How you can be so sure? if Liverpool can lose against Manchester United, there's a chance Atalanta can beat Liverpool. If Leverkusen almost lose against Qarabag FK, West Ham might able pull an upset. Tongue

Most of the times Europa league is full of surprise, so predicting the final match or the champion is kinda hard. Probably Roma will become the champion in this season. Cheesy
Exactly, not just European football or Europa League, football in general is full of surprises especially in such elimination stages where we will be thinking that the big team will always win.

A shocking defeat to Liverpool by Manchester United is something to be taking into consideration. No team is superior than others especially when it comes to Europa League or Champions League quarter finals.
Liverpool can be eliminated likewise Leverkusen too because West Ham and Atalanta are all doing great in their domestic leagues and will also be preparing to make history by seeing themselves play in the semifinals of the Europa League.

People are been too quick to judge based on paper; we know that based on domestic Leagues, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the two teams with the highest chance of winning this Europa League, but that should not rule other teams chance of winning the League because we have AC Milan too in the competition.
