As predicted Pogba will be out again. Allegri spoke today and he will be out at least 20 more days. Will he play 1 game this year?  That's what I call an unfortunate season for both Pogba and Juventus.. Although their failure after the points deduction but Juve would be second without that sanction.. Lazio failure with 2-0 was bad and Roma 1-1 draw is worst vs Lecce  Dunno for how long Mourinho will resist in Roma and Sarri in Lazio. |

Damn , just have seen the result of the game between Schalke and Wolfsburg and its a surprise for me.
Never thought that they will get a draw out of this game , i have not seen the game for now but looks like Wolfsburg was playing bad.
The statistics shows that Schalke was better at all. Its really hard to predict games if Teams struggling from one to the next Week.
Well I expected Wolfsburg victory in this game and it turned to be a mess. Schalke was able to pick a point from Wolfsburg which is better than nothing if the other teams near the relegation zone keep losing points, otherwise the relegation to the 2.Bundesliga will be sure. |

The other instable team, Liverpool, will play vs Everton, hopefully they will not fail this time..
I don't see how anyone can lose against relegation fodder but then again did we not lose to Nottingham Forest and Leeds at the beginning of the season too? I'm just not sure anything better than a draw can be salvaged. Regardless of which opponent Liverpool will face, I have less trust on them to win comparisons to the previous season. Bookies are supporting much Liverpool in this game, they are playing home vs a team in the relegation zone but what is quite challenging is that Everton won in the previous round vs gunners, best team in EPL, so why wouldn't them doing the same again.. |

Another win today for nice team it was expected since their opponent ajaccio is struggling at the bottom of the table they are in the relegation zone, there is no surprise they occupy the 18th position cinsidering how weak their offense is, they had a decent performance today and yet were unable to score a single goal which is why they will likely be relegated if they continue with this poor offensive performance.
Ajaccio is losing 2 out of 3 games played so I wouldn't expect much from them either. Nice won for the 4th time in a row which was good for them but they are still missing many points to catch an European competition spot. Monaco - PSG is the most interesting match this round and interestingly both teams have the same odds if not slightly higher for Monaco. I wonder know if Monaco is able to beat PSG? |

After losing against belbao in the previous rounds with 4 goals to 1 cadiz got precious 3 points after beating gorona with 2 goals scored in the first half، this victory mad them away from the relegation zone so far waiting for other relegation zone clubs matches this weekend
I wouldn't call them far from the relegation zone since Cadiz is only 2-4 points away from the 18th and 19th spot. Getting back to that zone is a question of 2 draws and a victory of 3 teams under them. Nevertheless, winning with 2-0 was quite good for Cadiz. The unfortunate thing is to see Sevilla and Valencia in the 17-18th spot  |

even though they won narrowly at least milan is slowly improving to correct the mistakes from the previous match which looked bad, of course it is difficult to catch up to being the italian league champion but milan has the opportunity to get a ticket to the champions league, i believe milan is capable of doing it Champions League battle in Serie A is intense since Napoli almost picked a spot so there is only 3 left to catch. There is at least 5 teams in poursuit of the spot. Inter could pick a spot since they are more stable than the others. Milan might get the 3rd place if they resume winning otherwise it will be hard. Roma, Lazio and Atalanta aren't that stable too, that's why the rank might change every round here. |

It can be said that the season is over for Schalke, I don't think there will be a chance to score points from this match either. The odds for Wolfsburg are not bad at all, I think it's a playable match. Maybe we won't see a goal in the first half, but at the end of the match, Wolfsburg will definitely be able to score at least one goal. They are aware that if they lose points in this match they will fall back in the ranking, now they have to continue without losing points  Schalke will most likely lose in this match vs Wolfsburg which are a lot better. Schalke isn't doing good this season and unless they get their old form back they will relegate again. The best match this round is between Leipzig and Union. Although Union is doing one of their best season but they failed to maintain the first place and their odds are lower than Leipzig even though Union won 4/5 of their games vs them. The funny part is all the games ended 2-1! |

It will be too wrong for Chelsea to draw their match against West Ham tomorrow. Chelsea will give it all they've got to beat West Ham, even though it's an away game for them. Given their standing in the Premier League and the type of new players they have acquired, Chelsea can't afford to draw three games in a row this time.
Three points will actually do better than a draw point. I believe Chelsea will win against West Ham
Chelsea are favourite to win their match against West Ham. Both teams have the same number of points in their last five matches in EPL. Chelsea won 4 games out of five vs West Ham previously. The other instable team, Liverpool, will play vs Everton, hopefully they will not fail this time.. |

ManU risked a defeat today after being down by 2 goals and was saved later thanks to 2 goals scored in less than 10 minutes..
Manchester United missed a chance to have the same number of points as Manchester City but they risk now to be surpassed by Newcastle once they win their next match.

I still can't comprehend the cause of the poor performances with Liverpool. The last game they got humiliated by wolves, the expression on Klopp's face alone tells how much he is suprised at the team's performance and poor results. Everything seems not to be working anymore for Klopp, could this be that the end of his Liverpool reign is near? Very soon the club management will lose their faith in him and make a harsh decision.
Liverpool is in trouble since the beginning of the season along with Chelsea and both of them passed to the round of 16 while ironically Barcelona that is leading La Liga got kicked from Champions League! Liverpool will face Real Madrid which is better even though the mild performance that they are showing these days, nevertheless, odds are backing the home side, Liverpool, in this leg For Chelsea, they will face Dortmund in an away game and the odds aren't that different. |

Real Madrid will play today vs Al Ahly from Egypt to qualify for the final game vs Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, Al Hilal wpn vs Flamengo 3-2. The red card might impacted the game but that was quite unexpected.
Real Madrid has a golden opportunity to pass both teams and win the Club World Cup.

Bayern Munich had better take advantage of the opportunity to open the gap with at least one of those teams meanwhile.
The gap between Bayern and the other teams is nothing since only 2 rounds defeats could make Bayern goes to the 5th place easily. This 1 point difference will press more charge on Bayern to win so score more goals as it might blocks them in Champions League game vs PSG mainly.
There is some DFB-Pokal games that will be played today. Dortmund will face Bochum who will play vs Bayern just 3 days after. Poor team |

Meanwhile in Italy another scandal is ongoing. They found a video with the prosecution member of the trial in which he states that he is a Napoli fan, he hates Juventus, and he said "As prosecution members, I'm anti Juventus" this is the one who decided what evidence to present or not to present at the "show trial" 2 weeks ago. For the ones who can understand Italian, https://twitter.com/JU29ROTEAM/status/1622701509157814279. Can't pass without commenting this: seriously? Knock! knock! conflict of interest, are you here? Obviously this doesn't mean that the trial is fake but expressing your opinion this way or even hiding is unethical. He should resign from that.. Continuing with Juve, they won at least this time vs Salernitana with 3 goals so they can boost their confidence a little.. |

My Bet: Burnley win
...
My Bet:Sheffield Utd win, Sheffield Utd 1st half win.
...
My Bet: Sheffield Wed AH (0).
If I casted a bet, it would be similar to yours except maybe for Sheffield first half win. Sheffield Wednesday lost the game with 1 goal vs a team that passed this stage for the first time. To add, Sheffield Wed didn't lose a game from months. For Sunderland - Fulham game, I expect a Fulham victory too even though they aren't ok in EPL lately. |

Suspicious transfer always made by guardiola at city.
He bought a great player then sell it to his lovely club .. like the ferran torres transfer to barcelona and now cancelo to bayern munich , both should be a great assets but then guardiola decided to release both in strange way , clearly guardiola is a double agent.
I don't think it is the case for real. Guardiola is trying his best to bring cups to Manchester City although he is failing constantly in Champions League. Guardiola has his manners, his way of training, his discipline, he will not accept rebels inside the team or players that doesn't follow his orders. That creates a lot of tensions between him and them so to reduce that tension that impact negatively the team, he will take bizarre decisions... |

A comfortable match awaits Real Madrid next week. It is against Elche in Santiago Bernabeu. Elche are like the most miserable team in the league now. They have newly got their first win by beating Villarreal. This was quite unexpected though but I don't expect this win to change anything for them soon. At least in the Real Madrid match, they would be desperate. Real Madrid have had difficult days recently. We have seen them losing points in very unexpected matches.
The loss versus Mallorca was a good example for this. Benzema was injured though but they were still a strong team. I expect the players to make up for this by beating Elche.
I could no longer trust Real Madrid to win vs weaker teams. Their miserable results lately are quite shocking. They ruined their chances and I cannot even imagine them losing vs Elche, that will be a joke for real. Real Madrid should win vs Elche and pray for Barcelona to lose vs Villarreal even though the odds are quite desperate for Villarreal. |

It wasn't a good day for Lazio. They couldn't have the control in the game. Maybe they had the most ball possession but this didn't change anything. Especially the second half was really bad for Lazio. They didn't have many goal attempts while Verona found so many. This resulted in an equalizer for Verona.
Actually Lazio had a lot of time to get ahead again but they were really bad at attacking today. Verona weren't doing good in the games before actually but they still managed to steal one point here.
Verona are having one of their worst season. They used to be in middle table when they joined Serie A few years ago but now they risk to pass to Serie B. Verona used to be a headache for top teams and they forced today Lazio to share points.. Lazio could be third after this game if they won.. 15 matches left in Serie A and for sure many things could change. Napoli is 13 points ahead of everyone so basically they have to win in another 11 to get the title, eventually this number could reduce if the other teams drop some points as usual. |

Psg team will have a tough game next round against monaco, it will be an away game against a team in a good shape, it will be difficult since psg team performance doesn't seem convincing recently, monaco team is currently fourth and only two points separate them from marseille so they will surely want to win against psg and climb the ranks so i wouldnt be surprised if they manage to beat them.
In fact PSG will have 2 hard games before Champions League match against Bayern. The first game is vs Marseille in 2 days in round of 16 in French Cup which will be crucial for both teams to pass. They don't have choice here. The second game is vs Monaco 3 days after Marseille one and this time in Ligue 1 which will make it important too. PSG don't have a chance other than winning without doing much efforts while trying to avoid injuries. Such combination is unlikely to occur and who knows how PSG will deal with these issues.. |

 I take it this is ironic? The fact that European football is riddled with corruption, financial fraud and, in general, is the most crappy business has long been clear. I don't know what is the reason for the surge of these new accusations, but I think that, as before, everything will end in a farce and the City will not be punished. I think it is more a warning than a threat. Such move will have a serious impact on EPL and sponsors will be angry about that. City is a key club in EPL and Emirates will not be happy about losing its investment. The whole country might be under threat of sanctions from the Gulf countries in my opinion so politicians will try to be cool and make things goes smoothly in these bad economy days. |
