What is certain is that Eintracht Frankfurt is in high self confidence after being able to beat the Bundesliga giants. Indeed, this is a very surprising achievement for various parties, especially for Bayern Munich supporter. Many certainly do not accept it because their favorite club had to suffer defeat again an average team and in the next match surely they will also do the same thing and try hard to beat Bayer Leverkusen.
Until now I still don't doubt the quality of the Bayer Leverkusen team so there is a possibility that something similar will not happen again to Eintracht Frankfurt in today's match which they will play soon at Bayer Leverkusen's home ground. And if Bayer Leverkusen is able to win at home today, it will certainly be very good for Bayer Leverkusen itself and also for the championship in the Bundesliga this season because this will allow Bayern Munich to catch up on the points which are now behind Bayer Leverkusen. Victor Boniface's goal made it a 1:0 match for Leverkusen against Frankfurt. It's encouraging to see that Leverkusen is winning, if they can maintain these three points until the end of the game, if can continue with this performance, i think they can become the championship this season. This is the same club that defeated Bayern Munich 5:1, scoring three goals in the first half with every player available for Bayern Munich, but they still couldn't win Frankfurt. Xabi Alonso has established a strong record for Bayern Leverkusen, they haven't lost any of their games since the start of the season, and they can only draw. With 39 points, they are currently leading the league. As earlier predicted, Bayer Leverkusen are currently in full control of the game against Eintracht Frankfurt thanks to Victor Boniface goal in the fourteenth minute of the game. Bayer Leverkusen who finished as the winners of their group in the UEFA Europa League competition knows that they are not gonna play any European game again until February hence the reason to concentrate on the German Bundesliga and further extend their lead at the top of the league. The Xabi Alonso team are yet to lose a game in the Bundesliga since the start of the season and are currently leading in the league standings but they know that to maintain their position, they'll have to keep winning more games than second placed Bayern Munich. Eintracht Frankfurt aren't sitting deep to defend all game as they've also made some good attacking moves which unfortunately hasn't been fruitful. Bayer Leverkusen are playing in front of their home fans who's been very supportive since the start of the season and with the kind of rousing chants I'm hearing from stands, I don't think Leverkusen would want to to let their fans down by dropping any point in this game. |

The only fear I have for the Manchester United sides is their goal keeper, Onana. He has been consistently making mistakes that were never there before he was signed. Even in the ongoing match, he already committed a mistake that can lead to a goal. Apart from this, Manchester United is playing so well. Nevertheless, draw is not a bad result for Manchester United.
Continue to entrust Onana as goalkeeper like there are no other options that Manchester United has. Erik ten Hag still has Bayindir which he bought this season. Earlier, in the first 10 minutes of the first half, Onana almost made another mistake when anticipating a free kick from the left corner of the Manchester United defense. Our game wasn't very good, but being able to make Liverpool's attack line difficult for 30 minutes was good enough to keep trying to attack. Just imagine, for 30 minutes Liverpool was able to take 11 shots with ball possession of 66%. If this match is a draw it will be very profitable for Arsenal. Undoubtedly, Andre Onana has made series of mistakes since the start of the season that's caused Manchu United valuable points both in the league as well as in the UEFA Champions League competition but let's also not forget that there are games that his good goalkeeping performance saved Manchester United from losing games just like the Manchester United home game against Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League competition. Manchester United's decline in form this season shouldn't be entirely blamed on Onana but the entire team if you ask me because almost all the members of the club squad are underperforming. We saw Andre Onana at Inter Milan last season and how good of a goalkeeper he was for the Inter Milan team as well as his days at Dutch club Ajax and we all saw that his performance in those two club's were outstanding. A good goal keeper needs a good defense to be able to perform well and Manchester United's defense line isn't giving Onana the kind of protection he's supposed to get from them hence the poor performances. He's yet to concede a goal in their game against Liverpool that's currently ongoing because the team's defence is performing well. Hopefully for Manchester United, they might finish the game without conceding a goal |

Of course if Casemiro is open to a move to Saudi, one of their clubs would sign him, he might even join his former Real Madrid and Manchester United teammate Ronaldo in Al Nassr. United would also be happy to sell him to Saudi if they decide to sell him, and that is because they will get a bigger offer from a Saudi team than from a club in Europe. United's £70m investment on Casemiro hasn't really been a success, i questioned the move from the beginning because of the age of the Brazillian, but it is what it is, and i think they have to sell him, cut their losses and buy a younger defensive midfielder. I also think the same because Man United will definitely benefit from releasing Casemiro to the Saudi Arabian League compared to releasing him to another European club. The question is whether Al Nassr and other clubs there are willing to make a big offer to Man United because if not it will be difficult to release old players at high prices to leagues in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo could be the link when Al Nassr intends to bring him because these two players have been close for a long time. Casemiro's arrival at Old Trafford gave positive results in his first season and thanks to his collaboration with other players they managed to qualify for the Champions League. Currently he is facing injury problems and cannot strengthen the team, even his performance has decreased compared to last season. Casemiro has won every trophy that's expected from a footballer and his current age abd performance isn't as good as it used to be and that's why I think a move to the Saudi League would be a better choice for the Brazilian than joining another European club if he decides to leave his current club Manchester United. The competition in the Saudi Pro League is undoubtedly a very strong one but not as strong as that of any of the top five leagues in Europe. Again, the Saudi clubs offer very good financial packages for players of Casemiro's status so joining them will help him earn more money than he'll earn in any European club at the moment as well help Manchester United to make a lot of money from his sales than they can make of he joins another European club. Cristiano Ronaldo was Casemiro's teammate at Real Madrid as well as in Manchester United and I'm sure he'll definitely want to convince his club Al Nassr to bring Ronaldo to the club. |

Indeed it's a rivalry game between to of the most successful clubs in the premier league. But lately the match between Liverpool and Manchester United don't look like rivalry any more as the game has become one sided lately and Liverpool has been the dominating team and I don't see that changing in today's game. Manchester United don't have what it takes to hurt Liverpool today.
I remember Liverpool was the match that made Man United sack Mourinho. This match is going to be easy for Liverpool. The way Manchester United play they don't play like a team that can win Liverpool. I believe Manchester United will score because Liverpool always concede but Liverpool will win. Liverpool needs to win in other to remain at the top, that's if Arsenal wins against Brighton. The Arsenal match is looking like it's going to be another hard day for Arsenal. I hope they win with at least 2 goals. During the days of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, the Manchester United vs Liverpool fixture was regarded as one of the strongest fixtures in club football but that has actually changed over the years as Manchester United has been less competitive in the English Premier League unlike their Liverpool counterparts who's been one of the best clubs in the league over the past ten years. The superior performance of Liverpool in recent years has made the fixture become less competitive and easily predicted and considering the current form of both clubs, I don't think Manchester United is even gonna do anything today to change that. Liverpool will host Manchester United in the next one hour at Anfield stadium and I expect Jurgen Klopp's men to beat Erik Ten Hag's side and extend their lead at the top of the league table. The first half of the game just ended goalless and going by the statistics, Arsenal is dominating in every round of the game and their performance so far shows that they are very likely to win this game buy it just continually looked like there's a strong defensive resistance at the defense line of Brighton thst Arsenal is finding difficult to get pass.
Westham Is leading by two goals already by the end of the first half while Brentford is leading by a goal aswell, I was expecting a different result buy it turns out that the results are not as my expectations, its already few minutes into the second half of the game between Arsenal and Brighton and I'm hope to see better performance and results from the gunners unlike the first half that ended goalless. I wish the gunners win and I'm Also expecting a comeback from Aaron villa in the second half of this game.
Arsenal are currently leading in the game thanks to Gabriel Jesus second half goal which has actually boosted the confidence of the team. The visitors Brighton are not even giving up as they're pressing for at least a point in the game but whatever happens, I expect the home side to protect their lead or probably extend their lead and grab all three points from the game. |

Lewandowski was a known legendary finisher in Bayern Munich when he was playing there and now even after leaving Bayern Munich for Barcelona, still Lewandowski is performing well enough. Currently, in Barcelona Lewandowski has an effective role in this team and I think even if they decide to sell Lewandowski to the Saudi team, Barcelona will have a problem finding an alternative player to take his place in the team.
However, for any player, there is a high chance to finish their career in the Saudi teams the huge money they usually offer to players like Salah and Lewandowski.
That's right, Lewandowski is legendary finisher, but he's age also getting older. And Barcelona must be able to push Lewandowski to accept a proposal from a Saudi club, if already an offer comes to him at next transfer windows. Also on the other side, Barcelona will have an advantage from Lewandowski transfer. Even though finding a great striker seems to be difficult for Barcelona consider Lewandowski quality, but I think Barcelona can definitely finding a great striker to take Lewandowski place, because previously I heard some rumors Xavi want Alvarez services and some other good players. Robert Lewandowski is undoubtedly one of the best centre forwards in football for over the past decade and I don't think there's anyone who's followed his development from his days at Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich where he won most of his club football trophies and individual awards and finally down to last year that he joined Barcelona that is ever gonna dispute the fact that he's was nightmare of opposition defenders in his prime. Lewandowski after joining Barcelona last year delivered a great performance in his first season with the club as he helped the club to win the Spanish La Liga title but has failed to replicate same feat this season largely because of injuries cases that's kept him sidelined in most part of the already season. There's been a lot of reports from different sports media platforms that the Poland legend is linked with a move to the Saudi League next summer and o think it'll be good move for the veteran who I don't think can deliver the kind of performances he had in the years past. The Saudi League is not as competitive as the leagues in Europe and so I think a move to the middle East wouldn't be a bad idea for Lewandowski. |

I think that Copenhagen won't last any longer in the Champions League by the way. Looking at the group leaders only Real Sociedad can be considered a favourable challenge for them. But even Real Sociedad have been amazing as they finished their group as the leader in Inter's presence in the same group.  Copenhagen is small team and almost impossible to compete against big teams which more experience and stronger than them so obviously their journey will be stopped at round of 16 but although most likely they will be eliminated on that round but at least they can repeat their achievement on 2011 because at that time Copenhagen has able to qualified to round of 16 and this season too after dramatically beat Galatasaray on the last match of group stages Copenhagen can able to achieve 2nd place About Sociedad a bit surprised to see their performance this season because after 10 years absense to playing at champion league finally they can playing at this competition again and i was underestimate this team before because i thought Benfica will be qualified with Inter Milan in group D rather than them but surprisingly Sociedad can displayed impressive performance during group stages which makes they can able to finish at first place and even Sociedad was qualified with unbeatable status and i will counted them as dark horses team who have potention to make big teams to slipped After the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League was made, I was of the opinion that Copenhagen were gonna finish the group stage in the last position of the group A and that's because of the fact that the other three teams on the group are better than Copenhagen on papers but the Danish side had another thought about what they can achieve and the team spirit in the club was one of the factors that helped them reach the knockout stages of the competition alongside side group winners Bayern Munich while teams like Manchester United and Galatasaray couldn't stop Copenhagen from progressing out of the group. I thought Erik Ten Hag was a good coach when he came to Manchester United last season. He was sure he was going to end the era of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League. With the performance of Manchester United both in the Premier League and Champions League this season, it is proven that Erik Ten Hag is nowhere near Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.
Last season? ten hag was staying on manchester united for years. There was no progress being made by him in MU. i would prefer liverpool to play in UCL rather than manchester united. having MU in UCL was only giving embarrassing result for the EPL. Newcastle was also a flop as it was unable passing the group stage. Mu and newcastle are showing terrible performance. It makes me feel so upset when i was watching their matches in UCL. It likes there was no improvement that is happening in manchester united nor newcastle united. I can only pray for ten hag to be sacked by united and then club can get a better replacement for him. They're both struggling in the Champions League this season, Newcastle was known to be the best defending club in the Premier League last season now they have conceded a good number of goals. They've both seen injured players absent and it has affected how they play. Though, they had their chances of qualification bit still couldn't utilized it. They're no more now in the Champions League can we talk about the current clubs and the upcoming draws on Monday? PSG finishing second to Borrussia Dortmund will definitely see themselves facing a stronger club. With the experience of Luis Enrique, I believe they'll advance to a far extent. Manchester United sucks! I have decided not to see too much of them games. As a Manchester United fan, for the sake of your mental health, avoid watching Manchester United week in week out. They have literally nothing for them fans at the end of this season. Anyone who's seen the tactical and technical abilities of Erik Ten Hag before he joined Manchester United would never think that he's the kind of quality manager that should be compared to Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp. Erik Ten Hag before he joined Manchester United was undoubtedly a good manager but doesn't in any way fall in the category of Pep Guardiola. Manchester United's performance in the UEFA Champions League competition this season was one of their worst in the history of the competition and Erik Ten Hag will definitely take much of the blames for his poor tactical approaches. |

The bigger question will be if the saudi league wants him; because definitely MUFC will be loooking to replace him by next summer
Of course if Casemiro is open to a move to Saudi, one of their clubs would sign him, he might even join his former Real Madrid and Manchester United teammate Ronaldo in Al Nassr. United would also be happy to sell him to Saudi if they decide to sell him, and that is because they will get a bigger offer from a Saudi team than from a club in Europe. United's £70m investment on Casemiro hasn't really been a success, i questioned the move from the beginning because of the age of the Brazillian, but it is what it is, and i think they have to sell him, cut their losses and buy a younger defensive midfielder. As a 4 times UEFA Champions League winner with Real Madrid, I don't there's any club in the Saudi Pro League that'll not be very happy to receive Casemiro if he decides to join the middle East based league. A lot of clubs in the Saudi are trying everything possible to sign high profile European based players to their league and if a midfield maestro like Casemiro decides to join the league, he'll definitely receive numerous offers from many clubs in the Saudi Arabian League. Since Casemiro joined Manchester United, he's not been as effective for the club like he was in his days at Real Madrid and that's because of the fact that he's aging if you ask me. Chelsea are said to be after Aaron Ramsdale to transfer him in January due to an injury picked up by Robert Sanchez. However no matter he is injured or not I don't think he is a goalkeeper that is at Chelsea standards. He is prone to make mistakes just like Onana has been for Manchester United. Therefore it would be really better for Chelsea if they get Ramsdale. Arsenal are already willing to sell him as far as I know. As long as there is an agreement on fee I don't expect anything else to hinder this transfer. Since Raya started to be in the starting lineup Ramsdale must also be keen on leaving the team for more playing time.  Ohh Feck! It's a very wrong thing to compare Aaron Ramsdale to Andrea Onana. I don't have the energy to stress on it tonight but man you can do better than this. Look for someone else Onana is far better than Ramsdale. His ten times better, he's just had a poor season with Manchester United. I wonder how y'all watch football. Did you watch Onana last season with Inter Milan? Then you won't be saying this. He needs to leave the club for a place he'll have enough game time ahead of the Euro's next year. England Coach has given him serious warnings over remaining with Arsenal. He's most likely not to be called up for the competition. Manchester United has also been linked with Serhou Guirassy, who has contributed very well to the success of his club ( Stuggart ) this very season. Aaron Ramsdale's best season as an English Premier League goalkeeper was undoubtedly last season that he was delivered great goalkeeping performances for Arsenal as they fought for the English Premier League title which they lost to eventual winners Manchester City. Unfortunately for the Englishman, Arsenal manager decided to use David Raya as the club's first choice goalkeeper. However the manager's choice to use Raya instead of Ramsdale doesn't change the fact that Ramsdale is a very good goalkeeper. I wouldn't want to compare him to Manchester United's Andre Onana because I think the both goalkeepers are good in their own rights. If Chelsea wants to sign Aaron Ramsdale to replace their injured goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, then k think it'll be a good transfer deal for the London club. |

It is very unfortunate to see the final result of the match between Genoa and Juventus. It could be said that the match was quite even between the two. It cannot be denied that Genoa's performance today is quite impressive, especially being able to hold Juventus to a draw and also hold Juventus to a dominating draw. Genoa could really keep up with Juventus until the end. Personally, I was quite surprised by the result because I thought Juventus would win because their opponents are usually not that difficult to beat
It seems that Juventus thought that a 1-0 lead would bring them 3 points but it turned out that Genoa managed to equalize in the second half and it lasted until the match was over. This result was quite detrimental for Juventus because even though Inter Milan would face a quite tough match against Lazio, Inter Milan there is a big possibility that they would get 3 points because Lazio is not in a very good condition, so Juventus' point difference with Inter Milan will increase to four from previously only two, and also AC Milan, who will face an easy match against Monza, has the opportunity to reduce their point difference by Juventus. It's quite unfortunate that when facing a difficult match Juventus managed to get 3 points but when facing a mid-table team they failed to maximize it. Yes, the draw results have quite an influence on the standing position. Indeed, Juventus will remain in second place because the points are quite far from AC Milan. However, the failure to get the full 3 points further distances him from Inter Milan as the top standing club. especially if Inter can win against Lazio. Although actually, if we look at the situation, Lazio is also a strong club and Inter must fight harder in order to win and get 3 points. Juventus have been showing signs of a team that's determined to win the Italian Serie A title at the end of the season but their performance against Genoa today was absolutely the opposite of what we've seen from the in majority of the games they've played this season. After Federico Chiesa converted from the spot in the first half of the game, Juventus stopped pressing their opponents for a second goal rather they were absorbing the attacking moves from the home team Genoa. In the second half of the game, Genoa pressed further and were rewarded with a goal which was enough for them to claim a point from the crucial game. Napoli managed to win, Mazzarri is safe fon now.
Osimhen is a great player, ready for Premier Leauge.
I think Manchester United and Chelsea are the teams that need him the most in the Premier League, but the Arab team Newcastle United could use the power of money to sign him before the other two teams. It is very difficult to predict which team will sign him. But it is very easy to predict that he can play for any team. Victor Osimhen who scored one of his club's two goals in their last game in the group stage of UEFA Champions League that secured their place in the knockout stages of the competition during the week was on target again today as his Napoli defeated Calgliari. The win took Napoli back to the fourth position of the league table and a lot of people are of the opinion that Osimhen is back to his best again. The Nigeria international has been linked with a lot of clubs in Europe and if he can continue to perform well again this season like he did last season, I'm very optimistic that he's surely gonna leave the club next summer. |

This result makes Monaco even further behind PSG and it seems they are aware that the competition this season will result in the same thing. Meanwhile for Lyon, they have been one step away from the relegation zone since the start of the season and they must win the next match and take advantage of the current momentum.
It was a very surprising result. I think this will be a win for Monaco because Lyon is in poor form. But this result dispels my doubts that Lyon will become more confident and will manage to get out of the relegation zone at the end of the season. And for Monaco, this defeat means they are now 6 points behind PSG. But at least they still have a big chance of securing a place in the Champions League next season. As already discussed here many times we have French league very unpredictable and anything can happen which can create interesting changes so we have in last two days big upsets happen first Monaco lost against bottom side Lyon at home and today another big team Nice which is currently at the third spot lost their match by big margin against newly promoted side Le Havre even both losers are going to stay at their spots, but now next half of this season is going to be interesting because we have few teams which ready for fight to take top spots from them and this will create good entertainment for the soccer fans. Now we have Lens and Marseille back into business if these both clubs won their matches then points difference will be cut, and we will have interesting situation tomorrow we have another big match which is going to play between Lille vs PSG. Monaco who many believes are gonna be one of the strongest rivals of Paris Saint Germaine for the French Ligue 1 title this season surprising lost at home today against a struggling Lyon in game many had predicted that hosts were gonna win comfortably. Considering the performance of Monaco since the start of the season, I was of the opinion that Monaco will not struggle in the game to grab all three points but little did I know that Lyon came with another plan to make sure they win the game. The defeat now leaves Monaco gives Paris Saint Germaine a good chance of further extending their lead at the top of the league standings. In a game that saw both teams receive red cards, second placed Nice also lost to Le Havre in another surprise result in the league today and I think all these results will help PSG increase their point difference at top of the league of they can be able to win their game against Lille tomorrow. |

This week, we will see league leaders Leverkusen take on Frankfurt. Frankfurt itself is not a club that can be underestimated, they are a club that can provide surprises that were not expected before. So Leverkusen must be very careful in this match, if they still want to be at the top of the standings.
One defeat will not threaten their first position in the Bundesliga but it will be very dangerous because they will only be 1 point behind Bayern. But I think it will be an easy win for Leverkusen. They are unbeaten this season. This means they are very strong so Frankfurt doesn't seem to be able to surprise the other teams. Leverkusen does have to be careful with some underrated teams but for me they will always get the win because I see them being too strong this season. Although Bayer Leverkusen remains the favorite to win and also, Bayer Leverkusen still has a very impressive trend of being unbeaten so far this season. But yes, I still think it will not be easy to beat Eintracht Frankfurt because yes, basically Eintracht Frankfurt is not a weak team and also not an easy team to beat. Therefore, I believe it will still not be easy for Bayer Leverkusen to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in this match. Indeed, Bayer Leverkusen will also play at home and of course, playing at home will make Bayer Leverkusen seem certain to win. But yes, of course Bayer Leverkusen also remains to have a great effort in this match, because to get 3 points in a situation like this is certainly not easy. Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the top performers in the German Bundesliga and I don't think any team in the league including Bayer Leverkusen would want to underestimate the strength of the team because of their ability to pull of surprises especially on games they're not favoured to win or get a good result in. That being said, Bayer Leverkusen is undoubtedly the most consistent team in the league since the start of the season and I expect them to comfortably beat Eintracht Frankfurt when the league leaders host Frankfurt tomorrow afternoon. Bayer Leverkusen knows that the strength and depth in the Bayern Munich squad is enough to fight for the top spot till the end of the season and that's why they can't afford to lose any points now if they truly want to win the German Bundesliga title at the end if the season and that's I think they're definitely gonna be playing at their best tomorrow to further extend the gap at the top of the German league standings. Dortmund missed too many opportunities, Augsburg as well. It was a match that proved why Dortmund has been so bad this season. They shouldn't miss this attack opportunities. Malen was okay but he could do better. The team needs Haller and he's still not ready. It's hard to win with Bynoe-Gittens and Füllkrug. Not that they are bad players but they can't use their full capacity, they only play with %60 at max. It's a shame for Dortmund, they should've been in the discussion this season while Bayern is having hard times but they just gave this chance to Leverkusen.
It seems that this is the impact of those who have focused on the Champions League in recent weeks which makes the Bundesliga not really run well. In this match Dortmund did some experiments with new schemes and some players also seemed not to be played to maintain their fitness so I think 1 point in this match is quite deserved. Although there will be a lot of people who are not satisfied with this result, especially the opponent is Augsburg, which is below them, but with the rotation made and the previous focus on the Champions League, I think 1 point is a very reasonable thing for Dortmund in this match even though with this result they are even more behind in the race for the championship position in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund who started their German Bundesliga campaign this season on a very good note seems to have lost their tactical strength to win games and get good results like they were doing at the start of the season. Against Augsburg today, Borussia Dortmund were wasteful in front of the goal after coming from a goal down to equalize in the first half of the game. Dortmund are currently out of the top four of the league and if they don't improve their performance, I don't think they can finish the season in the top four of the league. |

Manchester City of late have been dropping points so easy, and with three clubs already above them and in good form, I honestly think this title is slowly slipping away from them...and today's game was one awkward match as City was fully in control of the game and from nowhere Crystal Palace got a goal back and pressure turned against them.. only for Palace to steal a valuable point in the end thanks to a late penalty  .. And for gamblers/punters I honestly feel their pain as this was a steal looking at the price on a City win which was less than 1.2 odds against the draw which was ~8odds, honestly you can't even explain this...City need to pull up their socks and not having Halaand isn't an excuse!!!! Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the best football managers ever in the history of football but judging from the current performance of the club in the English Premier League, I think he is acting like a man who doesn't know the best approach to bring his team back to winning ways again. City have dropped a lot of points since the start of the season and I don't think they're strong contenders to win the English Premier League title this season because they've not shown enough consistency and good results to show that they can end the season with the league title. After Rico Lewis scored Manchester City's second goal of the game, I thought the team were gonna cruise to victory in front of the club's homes fans at the Etihad but Manchester City's defence allowed Jean-PhilIppe Mateta to convert from Jeffery Schlupps assist in the 76th minute to give the visitors hope of a come back before Michael Olise scored a stoppage time penalty to deny the citizens an important win. If Pep Guardiola doesn't improve the performance of his team in their coming league games, they might be struggling to finish in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season and o don't think that's the kind of campaign the club would want to have after winning the treble last season. |

When a match is fixed, it kills the fun and make gambling look as if it is a scam and this is why I wouldn't use my money to bet on match fixing. In small countries, it might not be an offense to them over thre but in big countries, you can get banned for such actions.
This is why you should stay away from such leagues and only game on big leagues as mentioned by @Oshosondy, to avoid match fixing. Fairness in the game brings out the best in the players and this will make gamblers be able to predict the match based on their own understanding and skills.
I've read about numerous cases of match fixing and most of them I think are reported from small countries of the world. Fixing a match is mostly done by heavy gamblers and it was common in the olden days of football because the current technological advancements will expose moments that'll make football governing body FIFA to know teams that are into match fixing. When it was common in football, match fixing was one of the main factors that was killing the excitement in football but thanks to heavy punishments from FIFA against any club or national team that engages in match fixing, it's now a rare to find it in modern day football especially in the European leagues. Football is very interesting and the most talked about kind of sports because of the fun that comes with surprising results that was very unpredictable before the kick off of football games but when match fixing is involved I football, it becomes a very boring sports. |

I am not so much thrilled about the champions league since Newcastle was unable to make it through the group stage of the champions league. They were new and I wished them well but it is unfortunate that they entered into a difficult group. Assuming they got a group like that of Manchester United, they would still have been in the Champions League by now. According to the updated championship odds in the Champions League the most favoured a couple of teams are lined like this:
Manchester City : 3.00
Bayern Munich : 5.00
Real Madrid : 6.50
Arsenal : 8.00
The gap between Manchester City and Bayern Munich is even closer now than before. But I still have doubts about Bayern Munich as I didn't like their game very much during the group stage. They struggled quite much in some matches despite winning anyway. This can be a big problem for them when they face a title contender in later stages.
I can say that Manchester city does not possess the super power that bookmakers are seeing them to posses. They are less powerful than last season. If Real Madrid players are to return from injury, they will become the favourites to win the champions league. I don't know why Bayern is rated high by the bookmakers. |

I have seen some facial expression gamblers that I am emotionally touched about and feels they have loosed more than they can handle and feels they deserves an condolence winning. While I empathic with him his amount of lost, I am then to consoling myself that someone on here has lost more than I do.
This is exactly how some gamblers runs out of gambling budgets and goes bankrupt because they fails to figure what their net worth or incomes value is.
They are basically to believe one who lost $20 has lost more to them who looses $10.
That is a very wrong way to see things. And funny enough that is how some gamblers approaches the matter. Do will not consider how much they earn and how much the person they are looking upto earns. There speedy conclusion is always, he is my fellow man, he has lost $2k and still alive, is it this $200 that I lost that will kill me. They will not even consider of the person they are looking upto earns much more higher than they do. They will also not consider if the person has recently won big and decided to return some portion of their winnings to the casino. If is high time we stopped comparing ourselves to others and focus on ourselves and our budget and take gambling as fun. Emotions differs and the mind to bear losses differ too. Someone who earns $100 daily can be able to lose $10k and still remain strong while someone that earns $200 daily will be devastated if he loses $2k |

The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.
What is your take on this?
No! and No! I do not have such time to read through the lengthy and boring terms of services. I think many casinos deliberately make such terms to be overly lengthy in order to discourage gamblers from reading from beginning to the ending. Whenever there is an issue relating to the customer, the will easily dig up a section of the ToS to defend themselves. Whenever I want to play in a new casino, I read the terms of services as it relates to; - Strictness of KYC
- Deposit and withdrawal policies
Apart from the above two, I can go well with any casino because I do not have the intention of cheating any casino. |

I always adhere to the principle in life, even though I get Christmas and New Year bonuses, there are still other responsibilities that need to be taken care of rather than spending more of the bonus money at the casino. I will gamble responsibly by spending money as I have done before, the other part of the money I will spend on vacation with my wife and children.
New Year's time is only once a year, I don't want to miss this beautiful moment with my family just because of my selfishness in wanting to continue gambling to fulfill my lust.
I am remaining myself in gambling by still maintaining my pace and I do not spend more than needed in gambling because Christmas is on the way or for whatever reason. I have remained consistent, and that big money I haven't won since the year began, there is no guarantee that I will win this money just because of the Christmas. This is unlike some of my friends who has increased their stake and the frequency at which they gamble. They have target to win big before the Christmas, this has only led them to spending much more than before. They are so committed to it and at least one among them might be able to win big, because the commitment is much. I do not condemn their gesture but I believe I cannot handle that pressure when there are other things to do with money. |

Spurs achieved their second win in the away match against Nottingham and they maintained their 2 goal lead until the match was over. Spurs are very motivated in this match so they can quickly return to the top 4 and compete with other teams. In this match, Spurs only played with 10 men after Bissouma received a red card in the 70th minute, but they immediately prevented it with full defense so they were certain to win. Currently Spurs have 33 points in the standings and that is the same points as Manchester City at the moment. It looks like the competition will heat up again and Manchester City must play tonight against Crystal Palace if they want to widen the gap from Spurs.
They managed to win the match and at the same time ensured that they got 3 points back in the match. A worthy victory for Tottenham, because Nottingham Forrest also lacked real opportunities in this match, they did create 15 attempts, but none of them were dangerous for Tottenham. After the consecutive negative results they achieved, they finally started to win again in the last 2 matches they played. But don't be satisfied with their results, because their work will still be very difficult in the future, because the season is still long. Tottenham Hotspur seems to be on their way to return to their good form which they started the season with. Assuming they didn't drop and remained consistent in that very form, they would have being at the top of the table by now. But it is always difficult for a club to remain consistent throughout the season especially when they do not have a good squad depth. Tottenham is enjoying their stay at the 5th position in the table and this will remain pending the outcome of other matches this weekend. Oh no! Tottenham is not threatened even if Manchester United happens to win Liverpool because they are 6 points ahead of Manchester United. So, even if Manchester United impossibly wins Liverpool, they will remain at their 6th position. |

Robert Lewandowski has been one if the best players in Europe for more the past decade and considering all his achievement in football, I think he can boldly say that he's delivered great performance and impact in European football of the past twelve year. If truly he has received offers by the Saudi teams, I don't think player of his age and achievement will want to remain at Barcelona when he knows he can't be as impactful as he was when he was younger. Lewandowski undoubtedly will make a good signing for any Saudi team if he gets the chance because the league isn't as competitive as the leagues the Poland has played all his life in Europe. From my own personal perspective about Lewandowski's future, I think the Polish striker is definitely gonna leave the Camp Nou next summer and a move to the Saudi Pro League wouldn't be a bad idea since their financial packages are always juicy. |

I hope that after this Tottenham can achieve another winning streak like at the start of the season.
Next game for Tottenham is against Everton who are fighting for premier league survival and fighting their way back to the top of the table where they were once close to this season. Bissouma will suffer a four match Ban and their coach will need to be able to go on without him because Tottenham have struggled in the games before this and their last. Tottenham are now fifth and still very close to the top of the table. Richarlison have scored goals in his last two games for Tottenham, maybe that is a signal that the striker is finally ready to deliver what is expected of him. Tottenham Hotspur's win tonight after their convincing win against Newcastle last weekend I think goes a long way to explain how good of a side they can be and their level of determination to return to the summit of the English Premier League standings. Before the their last weekend win against Newcastle, they had already gone five league games without a win in which they lost three and shared points in the rest two of the games including draw against Manchester City. During that period, a lot of their first team players were out injured as well as those that were suspended but since last weekend that Romero came back to the squad, they've been performing well especially in the defense side of the team. Their next league game will be against Everton who's been absolutely on fine form this season despite their point deduction for financial fair play violations and that game is definitely gonna be a very difficult game for Tottenham Hotspur but I believe they can still take all three points from the game of they can play at their best like they did tonight. |

I wasn't really expecting such result in the Monaco - Lyon game so I must admit that I'm very surprised. Especially in the first half Monaco were very effective. Their xG was around 1.00 but still couldn't score a goal. If they got ahead there maybe Lyon were going to lose their concentration which would lead to a bigger loss as well.
However we saw a much worse Monaco in the second half. They were further from scoring a goal despite having the double amount of their goal attempts in the first half. They had only 1 out of 13 shots on target in the second half I mean. Lyon somehow managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes and kept it to the end. This is another very valuable win for Lyon to make a move for getting out of the relegation zone.
Lyon is one of the traditional clubs in France and over the years has been one of the top clubs in the league but since the start of the season, they've been absolutely poor with their performance while Monaco where 20 points better than Lyon before their game on Friday night have been on of the best teams on the league this season. But surprisingly, Lyon who were the away side in the game, defeated Monaco tonight. What even made the result of the game more shocking is the fact that Monaco failed to score in the game as well despite playing in front of their home fans. I don't think there's any game in the French Ligue 1 this weekend that's gonna produce a more surprising result than we saw tonight. Lyon who's been struggling since the start of the league and were at the bottom of the league table before the game tonight have moved up to the 16th position of the league after that surprise win and I think the result is gonna go a long way in improving the general performance of the team as they continue to fight for safety in the French Ligue 1 standings. |
