Agreed as they are having 16 matches and already scored 56 goals with concede only 6 which is giving all review how things are going for them into league in this season they are complete package for staying at the top of the league table and having one of the best end for them difference of goals is 50 with second spotted Feyenoord having 38 which is also not bad but after just 16 matches statics like these are completely showing aggressive and tough they are.
They have knock out match against Borussia Dortmund which is currently struggling in Bundesliga and surely this could be not easy game for them hopefully we will have good performance from the PSV, and they will take advantage of this poor run and have chance to jump into last 8 which could be also amazing for them and their league.
PSV are really cruising to victory in their league and you could tell from the way they’ve remained unbeaten in the league and not just that maintained a good goal difference after going half of the season. You can tell from the way they play in the UCL and know that yes they’re a team with quite a good quality this season. The young squad’s composure puts them among one of the many wonders of Europe this season. Against Feyenoord they’ve tried to maintain a good gap both in points and goal difference and that sees them already cruising to taking the league title home this season, now they face Dortmund in the Round of 16 of the UCL and I have high hopes they’ll be able to knock out struggling Dortmund and cruise to the UCL last 8, but Dortmund would be a very tough nut to crack, especially when they stand a chance of moving into the next stage. |

so far I am not saying that Napoli is a bad team, it's just that the two teams between Barcelona and Napoli have differences and the first difference is that Barcelona experience in the UCL is very big compared to Napoli so Barcelona chances of success in the UCL are superior to Napoli.
however, in terms of players, Napoli has the advantage because in terms of finances Napoli is also better than Barcelona and in this difference I cannot compare which team is strong and which team is bad because both teams have their own advantages and disadvantages.
from my own opinion Barcelona chances of qualifying for the next match are very slim and even Napoli also has a very small chance because as I said above they both have their own advantages but if it is just speculation if Napoli in the 1st match can win more scores because they are playing at home. most likely in the second match, Napoli can qualify because Napoli only needs a few scores to be ahead of the aggregate they have.
but the problem is that Barcelona won't let that happen because I'm sure if Xavi is very smart and knows what he has to do then a draw in the 1st match could possibly happen.
Yes to every advantage there’s always one major disadvantage and we can see that in the strengths ad weaknesses of these teams to play each other in the UCL Round of 16. Napoli this season are of the average and we can say almost same for Barcelona especially as they lost most of their players due to injury, which has caused their major problems lately. Now for this fixture, I think I’ll give Napoli the upper hands because they’re one team that have the determination. Yes, Barcelona have the experience but not with most of these their current squad. For this fixture, I think the major fare will be decided from the very first leg and who defends pretty well and for that I see Napoli going through because of some errors the Barcelona defense has made this season already, coupled with lack of creativity in their final third lately. |

I favor Aston Vila to win Conference League not only because they are a strong team who are well in-form in premier league and the result in their group stage, but also because they are managed by Unai Emery who is well-known as tournament specialist. he has won four Europa League trophies as manager, and even he guided Villareal to reach Champions League semi-final three years ago while having a bad season in La Liga.
Aston Villa is having a good morale with the success in domestic competitions that often translates into positive performances in European tournament. Unai Emery's reputation as a tournament specialist is is particularly relevant in the Conference League's knockout format, where Emery's tactical acumen and experience could prove pivotal. Guiding Villareal to the Champions League semi-final despite a challenging La Liga season demonstrates Emery's capability to lead a team to success on the European stage, even when faced with adversity domestically. Combining team performance and the proven success of Unai Emery in tournaments provides concrete evidence that Aston Villa can appear to be strong contenders for success in the Conference League.
Well i don't really know if Aston Villa is strong enough to win the Conference League, but they're doing pretty good this season ad with their current form, they could go far in the Tournament and reach the finals, Unai Emery is an experienced coach and has won several, major trophies and with the experience he's got there’s a possibility that he could lead Aston Villa to win their first major trophy. Talking about the domestic league, their level of Consistency this season is superb and with the good effort of Emery they've grown very strong in the EPL and have reached a position they've not attained in years, it would be very suprising to see a once mediocre team qualify for the top four and play in the Champions league, Aston Villa fans would be very happy to see their team win the Conference League and also qualify for the UCL. |

Im thinking arsenal was not regretting it. In fact, arsenal has brought by arteta as a runner-up of EPL last season. Im still also concerning about the performance of arsenal in european league. It's caused by arsenal was always failing to get to the final.
Arsenal was not regretting it as arteta is still also making arsenal performs very consistent this time in EPL. It was also coming back again to the title race. I see no reason for the gunners to regret their decision to sack unai emery.
Arteta can be projected as a long-term striker and he has also many experiences by became assistent for pep guardiola. Sheffield was an easy team for aston villa but the club needs to be careful or it will lose some points.
Arteta is always having long term plan for the club and he was even better compared to the emery even though arteta never won prestigious trophy but it seems like that this time he can make it happen.
The only important question was how can he try to keep the performance become very consistent when it comes to the late season. We do know that how arsenal was always struggling at the end of season.
Arteta’s project at Arsenal is really paying off and can certainly be termed as a long term project. Yes the fans got crazy on how they bottled the league but i think they’re now forgetting that because of the current form of the club. Arteta has helped to bring consistency back to this Arsenal side just that at some point, he loses his grip and that brings them down. He’s got the experience and I believe that’s one major reason he made some key signings to avoid the same mistakes of last season. Sheffield seems to pose much a threat to Aston Villa at the Villa park and I believed Villa will cruise to victory in this match and sit comfortably in the top 3 of the EPL before if started, but Sheffield really gave them a very tough time and held them to a draw till the final whistle at Villa Park, so suprising cause Villa were the favorites to win this game since they're in their home ground. |

Sometimes Jose Mourinho strategy is successful and suitable but sometimes Jose Mourinho is wrong in implementing the strategy with their inconsistency at the moment it seems difficult for all of us to predict the next match, but it seems like Jose Mourinho has prepared the right strategy for the next match and certainly Roma will repeat the same thing as Last season they reached the Europa League final and competed with Liverpool and Leverkusen for the trophy but I think Roma will probably have difficulty reaching the final.
Feyenoord is superior because they playing at home. Moreover, Feyenoord is a little more consistent in the domestic league when compared to Roma, but comparing them in terms of their respective league seem unfair because each league certainly has different strength but Feyenoord is a team that was relegated from the Champions League. So Feyenoord will struggle hard in the European League because Feyenoord failed to qualify for the Champions League, I personally can't make the right prediction because this match is still 2 month away so I will prediction depending on the condition of the clubs in each league when it is approaching the play off round matches.
Jose is an European Specialist and that’s one credit that we shouldn’t take away from him. Yes his team might not be in top form at the moment in the league but he sure know how to get the best when it comes to competing in European competition, and just like last season they'll fight hard to go far in the Europa League this season, though it not going to be very easy cause of the teams that are still in the tournament. Feyenoord won’t be much of an obstacle for Jose because he’ll be eyeing another final to get the books right as for last season loss which he hasn’t accepted defeat. Yes, his road to the final might be crazy but with Jose I think Roma will pose a threat. So I’m not waiting for the match to get close, I see Roma qualifying past Feynoord to the Round of 16, they've got my bet in that game. |

Yesterday was really a feast of football.We saw a lot of goals in the matches and frankly they were all exciting.Twente failed to defeat Rotterdam who were down to 10 men. In the 45th minute Rotterdam, who were down to 10 men, managed to hold on to the match with goals from penalties in the second half.Twente could have even won the match if they hadn't managed to score in the last minute.
Feyenoord managed to beat their opponent Heracles with 4 goals away from home.We cannot say that the opponent was not very effective.Despite being away, Feyenoord dominated the match and won a comfortable victory.
Ajax started to recover slowly.Ajax hosted PEC Zwolle at home.Ajax managed to go 2-0 ahead with Brobbey's goals and left the match with a draw.They had a chance to win the match but they could not take advantage of it.It would have been better for them if they had won this match.Losing points in these matches is a bad result for them if they want to finish in the top 3.
In the most important match of the day, PSV, the favorite candidate of the championship, almost showered AZ Alkmaar with goals.PSV, who did not even give the opponent the opportunity to play, managed to win the match with a very beautiful football.PSV, who increased the difference to 3 in 16 minutes, did not give the opponent any opportunity.We can easily say that AZ Alkmaar played as if they were playing away throughout the match.
The Eredivise is one league that's very much underrated but they've got enough quality up their sleeves. Yesterday there were a number of goals trooping in. The league is growing, they've got key teams too that are making wave in the European races too. PSV and Ajax are perfect growth examples. They're outshining in their endeavors. Even though it's quite obvious that there's a little bit difficulty in sustaining their race in the European umbrella but they've got to do what they've got to do. There are other teams in the league that are good. The truth is the league should be watched closely as there's higher chance probability of it getting more tough as seasons go by. |

Stuttgart away form and Gladbach home form is surely on same level which will give good advantage to Gladbach because they need to win this match for their change of fortune in first half of this season mostly they were down, and now it's time for having change in performance and giving some good challenging performance.
Stuttgart having good control in top four with Dortmund is already down and their problems are not going to end soon which will be benefited for the Stuttgart and Leipzig as well but if they keep things like current level then surely we can expect them for staying here and going into Champions League and Borussia Dortmund could be not good as they were doing with they also have chance to change things near the end of season.
At the moment, Stuttgart are one team that's pretty much impressive and stunning in their performances in the Bundesliga. They're for the first time at the top spot and it's pretty much surprising because they weren't really expected to be as above average as they are now. And just like Leverkusen they taken everyone by suprise and are performing more than expected this season. They're a threat to the teams in the league and they've got be watched closely. They've even got advantage over these teams cos of their position in the league. Their next game against Monchengladbach is more or less an equal odds of victory. The chance for Monchengladbach is as a result of home advantage and for Stuttgart, it's their position in the league. The German League is continually intriguing and the final league result is awaited |

Yes, it must be admitted, even though Milan and Napoli are quite far behind Inter and Juventus, that doesn't mean they can't catch up or overcome their unstable performance, but Milan and Napoli have quality players who are able to face challenges. and develop. their performance. Apart from that, in Italian football the competition is always tight and the results of the matches cannot always be predicted with certainty, but what is certain is that I want to see the competition between these 4 teams until the last match in the league to determine who will be the team. champion.
However, it cannot be denied that Inter and Juventus have a strong position as candidates to win the title, but in the world of football, anything can happen.
and Frosinone's positive result against Napoli may give them confidence, but Juventus have a different history and quality. This match is still interesting to follow and anyone can win.
The Italian league seems to get tougher and teams are rapidly growing into high worth, quality and class. The growth is evident and enviable too. This makes for the widespread fun in the league race too. It's not so easy to predict the outcome of the games too. Juventus are good, so is Milan, Napoli and even Frosinone too. But among the above stated team Frosinone is the least of them all. Inter Milan too are in good form and these teams are lasting threats. The race for the trophy is tough and all teams are determined and unwavering at their goal. The strongest teams of the league are Juventus and Inter and the odds for the trophy for these teams are very very much alike. Inter are faced with the European contest and for Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. |

A five-point lead is not very safe, especially with the season only having completed half the matches so there are still surprising things that might happen but it's true what you said in Ligue 1 if PSG is already in the lead then it will be difficult for any team to bring them down from the top of the standings because they have more strength than any team in Ligue 1, what can make them fall is when they lose concentration or when they have to divide their focus with other tournaments that are no less important such as the Champions League.
There are four matches in Ligue 1 that they have to play before facing Real Sociedad, and these four matches are quite tough in my opinion, especially when a few days before competing in the Champions League they will face Lillie because in the last two meetings, Lillie was quite troublesome for PSG even though PSG managed to win and draw but they will never take this match easily.
In the Champions League, their journey will never be easy, especially achieving what the club owner hopes for.
PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen. They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals. |

The are the best team in the league so far, being top of the league is not the only reason i say they are the best but also performance wise they are the best. They seem to have best attacking mode and the defense also compliments it perfectly and all apartments are in good form. Despite Neymar being absent due to injury they still show that they are more than capable to win the league, they out play and win almost any team that comes their way. The approach and style of play adopted by the coach is the best i have seen so far in the league.
Adding Lukaku will make them a nightmare for the real of the teams but I believe most teams will also look to add more strength to their team. Lukaku + Mitrovic will be one of the best combinations if they are able to sign him and will be difficult for most teams to keep up.
Mitrovic is busy scoring the goals but i think the defenders and Midfielders are the ones carrying the team lowkey.
Al Ittihad are still standing strong on top of the league. Getting the goals and also defending so well preventing opponents from scoring, I think they’ll be giving Al Nassr quite some headache to try and get the league or come close to top spot. One sweet thing for the fans is the addition of Lukaku to Mitrovic who’s already banging goals, Mehn this team is so going to be very strong upfront if it happens. Lukaku added to that team means a seal on their top spot position as he’s one prolific striker that’s sure of getting you maximum goals season in and out. The team has done well and we must now see them as ones that could be crowned Champions, based on their consistent performance since the beginning of the season, their only major treat is Al-Nassr who are hell bent on closing the gap between both teams. |

Yesterday when the Fenerbahce game ended I forgot to comment, it was a game with a lot of goals, it was a game with a lot of penalties, it was a game with a lot of red cards. It was a controversial game. so the game was tainted but despite all this Fenerbahce managed to come out with victory in this game, it was a very important victory for Fenerbahce who managed to stay at the top of the table with the same points as Galatasaray, it seems to me that this season the level of Competitiveness between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce is much stronger compared to last season. We'll see how long this will last, but for now both teams must be under a lot of pressure
because they know that a defeat or draw could cost them losing the top spot and consequently not being able to win the league. With that in mind, Galatasaray, who played against Caragurumk, had difficulty scoring many goals even though they were playing against a weak team that in the last 5 games did not have very good results. It was a victory for Galatasaray thanks to the good defense they had. With this victory, Galatasaray continues with the same points as Fenerbahce, who are trying hard this season so that they can win the league
A controversial game is that of Fernabache’s like every minute had it’s own sweet times and crazy times and the fans would really enjoy this kind of game, Fernabache came out top against minor odds and this had kept them up to toe with Galatasaray . We can see how the league is improving and not just allowing one team take all the shine but 2-3 teams struggling for the top positions. Galatasary are still not relenting and are fighting in every match securing all 3 points but I think they should beginning to conside Goal Difference as that could play a major role to determine league leaders, and am pretty sure they'll give in their all to get at the top when they face Fenerbahce on Sunday, it going to be a very tough one. Cause neither of them would want to concede and drop points. |

It has to be said that this season Mancity has lost quite a few key players who made history in the previous season like Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez. And Kevin De Bruyne are sidelined with long-term injuries, leaving Rodri to shoulder the entire midfield. Meanwhile, another quality midfielder, Kalvin Phillips, hasn't been favored by Pep.
Additionally, Mancity's defense is showing numerous issues, as evident in the recent game against Crystal Palace where they conceded and equalized very easily in the last 15 minutes. The current problem with Mancity is that they struggle to close out games; when the attack scores, the defense tends to falter. The lack of focus in defense and a squad not deep enough for Pep to make effective adjustments have caused Mancity to often stumble towards the end of matches, resulting in conceding undeserved goals.
Manchester City loss of players have made their stat to reduce drastically especially as they’re in a bid to defend their title, If you notice they’ve already lost more games than they did last season and they’re sitting 4th on the log. Yes, they still have some sidelined players but they are already used to some key players patterns and that’s one major setback for this team. They don’t have some quality sitting out on the bench and that’s one thing causing a setback for them because it’s making Pep Guardiola right to lack selections. Now this is where Pep Guardiola has to bring in his masterpiece to work and help this team get back on track because any further falter may result in them not going home with any trophy this season,and it would be very bad for a title defenders of three different trophies. |

There are quite a few players who perform quite well and are even tipped to be future star players, but after moving clubs and being under the wrong coach, the player's abilities fade. So this will apply to Osimhen, whose performance at Napoli was quite impressive and was one of the keys to Napoli success last season. However it must be admitted that this season Napoli are not in the same condition after the change of coach. Therefore, Osimhen must be able to forge his abilities under new coach Walter Mazzarri. a challenge to develop Osimhen skills is not easy for Walter Mazzarri.
Currently, Osimhen is being discussed as suitable to play at Chelsea because Chelsea current attacking position requires a sharp, ambitious striker, but apart from that, the competition in the Premier League is different from Serie A, apart from the fierceness between teams in the Premier League. In the League, the quality of players is also almost far from what is happening in Serie A currently. Whether Osimhen can do it or not depends on how compatible he is with Mauricio Pochettino.
Players generally tend to build themselves up and flourish under a coach but when a player is termed a star, it’s when he does his job so perfect anytime he’s called upon to do, Osimhen yes was a major push to Napoli’s success last season and yes they’ve had a change of coach at different points of the season but still Osimhen does his job even though it might not be at the top level as expected by the fans. Now Chelsea is in need of a striker and there are movements to get Osimhen in but the questions are coming in as to if he’ll be able to play with the pressure and come out top, and if he’ll be able to get along with the Premier League football style. Well yes, the EPL is quite a difficult one and I think Osimhen won’t be getting his feet early in the league but I Trust him to pick off after a little while especially when he takes advice from his coach, Pochettino. |

There is no longer any need to include Napoli as a challenger for champions this season because they have failed and will not be able to defend last season's title, and we often see teams that become champions other than Juventus, AC Milan or Inter Milan will always experience difficulties in defending the title and usually will it takes a long time to become champions again, maybe there is a mismanagement with teams like that so they can only occasionally win and make the fans happy because they can see other teams besides the three I mentioned above can become champions but then these three teams will again take turns becoming Serie A champions.
Napoli against Roma has a big chance of winning, especially in their last seven meetings. Roma always failed to get full points even though they are the home team, maybe H2H is not the right reference for analyzing the match later, but of the two teams, Napoli is better when facing tight matches. only they are often careless when facing weak teams which makes them far behind Inter and Juventus.
Napoli are out of the title race and are seriously fighting to get an European spot next season. One worrisome thing is when some teams win the league title he way it takes them a while to win is something that should be studied. Because you fought so hard for this, you get it and you should learn to maintain that energy and keep getting the wins instead of slipping off when a new season starts. For the match against Roma, yes Napoli are favorites both on record and on current form and I see them getting all 3 points in this match, but I don't think it would come easy cause José Mourinho's side would be very defensive, giving Napoli a tough time to steal the 3points, I think this match is going to be very interesting, can't wait to see Osimhen's performance against Roma. |

Leverkusen will have the opportunity to win the title if they continue to be consistent in the Bundesliga as well as in the Europa League because so far Leverkusen has not experienced defeat, but Bayern Munich is still a strong candidate because Bayern Munich also still has a chance to win the title again this season because Bayern Munich is still strong enough. consistent and has only experienced 1 defeat and if Leverkusen slips from its position then Bayern Munich can take over first place because their point difference is not that far while Bayern Munich still has 1 match pending besides that Bayern Munich is still quite confident they are just waiting for Leverkusen to slip so they can occupy that position but hopefully Leverkusen will not experience a decline until the end of the season so that Leverkusen can win the title this season and break Bayern Munich's dominance.
No one doubts Leverkusen's performance as long as Leverkusen is still able to show their best through Xabi Alonso's concoction but winning the title is not easy because the Bundesliga is always dominated by Bayern Munich while Leverkusen has only experienced this season. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen still have chances opportunity but people hope Leverkusen can break the dominance of the Bundesliga giants this season which will make the League even more competitive.
Leverkusen has proven to be title contenders and they’re the only serious team after traditional winners Bayern Munich in the league Bayern Munich who are traditional winners of the league know how to go about winning it one way or the other and it’s all on Leverkusen if they’ll slip off at any point, but with their current form I still got a believe that they'll continue to be consistent for a long time. Xabi Alonso has built this team and the confidence of the players is very high but they should try to avoid any slip. But for the fans it’ll be one of many title races that we all love to see as they’re so close in points and goal difference. I stand strong with Leverkusen but I pray they don’t slip at any point, cause same issues happened with Dortmund last season, they bottled the league at the last day of the tournament. |

Brighton missed the opportunity to take MU's 7th place. Brighton still has many areas to improve. Brighton will be free to focus on the domestic arena. A break in the Europa League could be the premise to fly high again. Coach Roberto De Zerbi was worried when Kauro Mitoma was injured in the 1-1 draw between Crystal Palace. The Premier League is entering its most intense phase. The teams will have to play 3 matches within a week, and of course, Brighton does not want Mitoma to have a long break.
Arsenal leads the rankings. But they still cannot rest assured. This is an unusually promising season for both Liverpool and Arsenal, undoubtedly due to the unexpected decline of defending champion Manchester City. Arsenal regularly snatch late wins in tight matches - something many consider the mark of champions. Arsenal will have a stormy trip to rival Liverpool's Anfield stadium.
Yesterday's game between Palace and Brighton ended fair and squarely. For me, the game was actually going to be a tie for both teams. Even though Brighton was thought to be able to win the game, they gave them higher odds to winning which implies Crystal Palace being the better side over them yesterday. They did their best to hold the games but I for a fact knew Crystal Palace weren't going to take it easy and just embrace loss at home to Brighton. The outcome of the game caused a setback for Brighton to outrun Manchester United in the table. The table has taken a new shape though as Arsenal are the toppest even though that position isn't assured fully, there are still huge threats and it'd take extra resilience and efforts to stay there. I really don't know if Arsenal would be able to keep this up or maybe they just try their best up to where their strength carries them. |

Don't forget that Jose Mourinho and As Roma won the Europa Conference League Competition against Feyenoord the season before last during the finals. It was a one goal to nil win and Jose Mourinho made the Romans and them fans proud. They fell off from the Champions League but we'll still be seeing Jose Mourinho and his side go ahead into the next round ahead of Feyenoord. Romelu Lukaku is Injured? When did that happen? I'll go have a look at it. What I know is that he was carded for three games because of the reckless tackle he made during on of them Scudetto games.
AC Milan are also big European sides, They should make good use of the home chance they have against Rennes and score a lot of goals. I trust them regardless, after the poor run in the Champions League, they don't want to do same in the Europa League Competition.
Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be. Milan are also a good side that'd only need to put in extra efforts to games to create positive differences. |

These two teams are equally strong when viewed from their status as champions in their respective league, but this season both team have experienced quite significant setbacks for them in the domestic league. I think the meeting between these two big teams will be quite interesting because both of these team both have stickers that were quite productive in scoring goals in the previous season and even became top scorers in their respective leagues. So we will see the quality of Osimhen and Lewandowksi in this match where these two players are an important part of their respective squad so that their best will be seen when they succeed in scoring goals and bringing their team to victory.
This match is difficult to predict, but in my opinion, if napoli does not lose any players or not things are injured, Napoli will be able to provide significant resistance to Barcelona. Barcelona too will have the first leg with an away match which could be difficult for them later. Xavi doesn't have a special record in helping barcelona beat teams from Serie A representatives. So this will be a tough job for xavi in the round of 16.
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. |

Last night game was totally out of line for Los Blancos and Gironistes. Real Madrid escaped with a narrow 1nil victory against Deportivo Alavés while Girona was held to a draw tie against Real Betis. Real Betis headcoach, Manuel Luis Pellegrini Ripamonti is doing an exceptional job in Estadio Benito Villamarín this season. Though they're not in the top standings but they can boldly bragged about going undefeated against these top contenders for the La Liga titles. Sharing points with Real Madrid and Girona. They're underestimated but deep down, they're comprehending the main elite clubs in La Liga which everyone knows.
Girona had a disappointing outcome in their recent match, which unfortunately gave Real Madrid the opportunity to overtake them for the top spot. Real madrid is also facing the same situation like girona. I meant girona was struggling to win against betis but real madrid was able taking three points from alaves even though it needs wait till the additional time. Glad to see that real madrid was farmng another three points from alaves which was making the club to be even better than before. Real madrid is reading the competition right no. Girona was underestimating its opponent and that's why it has gotten draw against betis.
Betis was one of strong club but people are not seeing it as a strong club. The team we are discussing, just like Osassuna, has consistently proven to be a formidable opponent for big clubs, causing them to struggle in their attempts to win. Real madrid was not missing an opportunity to take three points from alaves.
It's quite disappointed real madrid won against alaves with narrow score but three points are far better rather than getting nothing against it. It's really amazing performance from alaves to prevent real madrid to score a lot in the match.
For Madrid and Girona, it was a disappointing game as the results didn't show class and level of their normal performances. Madrid barely earned a 1goal victory away from home to Alaves while Girona after trying hard to hold onto the he 1goal ahead win, Betis proves capacity and equalized, ending the game with a share of points. These two sides played away from home and are even at the top spots of the league table but their performance didn't speak so well of their position on the table. Everyone expected a 3point bagged with meaningful goal margin but they were short of one of the expectations at least. Advantageous for Madrid though, their win gave them a push to get to thesame level as Girona and it's an encouragement for them to press harder to finish it all at the top. For Girona, the draw wasn't so good for them, they've got extra work to do too. Definitely the new year fixtures would favor both teams. |

Indeed, with De Bruyne's injury, Manchester City's midfield situation seems to have lost its enthusiasm. We have to admit, De Bruyne is known as the creative brain in City's midfield. His absence could reduce attacking creativity and the ability to create goal opportunities. Without a player like De Bruyne, City may have difficulty organizing play and penetrating opposing defenses.
The importance of key players like Rodri, Haaland and De Bruyne in the Manchester City squad cannot be ignored. Guardiola must be able to rotate players intelligently and choose the right replacement. This involves understanding each player's specific role and ensuring that when key players are absent, there are strategies in place that can keep the team balanced.
yes indeed Although City having a good defense can help prevent conceding goals, losing the ability to score goals can be a problem. Therefore, finding a solution to remain effective in attack without key players is very important.
Manchester City squad has some key players that when they’re absent the team seems to face a decline in performance. KDB is one key player especially with his long eye sight for assisting the point striker Haaland. And if you notice, this season KDB has been out for over 3 months you see that Manchester City’s midfield isn’t looking too organized. Another player of utmost importance is Rodri who has missed some matches which in those matches City have lost because of missing his defensive abilities; now with this key players in key positions, I think it’s a big task for Pep when it comes to team selection when one or two of these key players are inactive. For you to be champions you don’t need just defensive abilities but also high goal scoring abilities too is essential. |
