El Classico will be so interesting this weekend but Barcelona confirmed will play without some of their players and one of them is Lewandowski and this is home match for Barcelona and according to the head to head statistics i can see Barcelona under Xavi always had good results from Real Madrid but Madrid also has been experience to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou 4-0 last season on Copa Del Rey so this match will be so tight

But indeed from team conditions Real Madrid was more better than Barcelona because this weekend the players such as Bellingham, Vinicius or Rodrygo confirmed will be available and do not forget too they still have Joselu as supersub player who almost be scored goals everytimes he was play so in my opinion Real Madrid had good chances to win the match but Barcelona is slightly the favourite with odds @2.40 and Real Madrid @2.75

I think the competition for golden boot this season will be tougher as Erling Haaland is yet to score the number of goals he already had by this time last season. Yes we all know the impact KDB brings to the squad but in his absence Haaland will have to find his way around if he want to be in the golden boot contest, Son of Spurs is already proving to be a competition for Haaland this season.

I think this is quite natural because Bayern munich visited Galatasaray's headquarters where they had to play carefully and not care whether their game was bad or not. Their target was to win and they succeeded in doing that. Indeed, if you look at it, of course galatasaray was able to play better and was far superior in possession of the ball and they also recorded a lot of shots in this match, but bayern munich is a strong team and full of experience, they can survive pressure situations to steal the win.

Even so, fans are quite satisfied with their performance because in the 3 matches in the Champions League where bayern munich were able to record wins in those 3 matches. And they are at the top of the standings as well as have a big chance of becoming group winners. I think Tuchel really needs to change the style of play for bayern munich in the next match.

When it comes to gambling, I never include United because these guys are to inconsistent week in week out!! And today was going to be another record breaking for them, but Onana showed his worth today... lucky break..

Yeah, they got win, but that's only positive thing from this game. It was equal game, but after all, Copenhagen isn't elite team thatthey should fear.

I'm surprised myself that the King of backing the underdogs is advicing us against it now. buwaytress when did you start believing in consistency?

Кстати, а что касается платного ВПН - кто каким пользуется? Лично меня вот ВПН от Роскомсвобода , в принципе, устраивает, но не нравится то, что отключения серверов или ещё какие-то перебои стали гораздо чаще. Временно пользуюсь анонимайзерами, но они менее удобны.

I see Galatasaray dominating this match even though previously Munich was predicted to win easily and I don't understand whether Munich is aiming for the safe side by playing a draw and taking advantage of the second leg moment, because we know that Munich is in a safe position in the group regardless of whether it finishes in first place or runners-up, while Galatasaray is not in a safe position because Manchester United could catch up moreover they only have a difference of 5 points. Anyway, it will be very interesting to wait for the final results in this group because 3 great teams compete with each other there and the struggle only occurred between Galatasaray and Manchester United.

Fore since you already stated that you are not up to 18 in your previous comment make your case to be that of someone who doesn't have a choice most especially in terms of relocations from your your country to another one because you may fine things tough in the other country compared to you living in your country and also even if you consider leaving as a refugee,  I will still not advice that considering your current condition as a citizen to that of your condition as an under-aged rerefugee

I advised you to continue to push through with the current condition of things on your end and also try as much as possible to save up for the future so that,  when you have finally attained the age to leave your country,  it will be to go for a vacation or studies.

Manchester Uniteds Maguire seems to be on fire of late, over the weekend picked up a man of the match award and today against Copenhagen scores the only goal of the game to secure an important 3points,and Andre Onana put to the test with a late penalty that saw him save  his team from throwing away their lead, congrats boys!!!

Everybody is impressed with the performance of Tottenham this season the level of commitment is so high the club that had this kind of consistency last season was Arsenal and Arsenal is not doing badly for itself self but compared to how they played last season saka is not even in form compared to how that boy was on fire looking as if is not in form currently. and am very sure Tottenham will be a concern for plenty of clubs in the Premier League and those who want to win the league must find a way of contending with Tottenham before it gets too late.

Am an Arsenal fan but I feel the win of Arsenal against Manchester City was pure luck and if they don't prepare well against Tottenham it is not going to be an easy one to go down if not comprehended on time.  Their only advice is they should try and maintain that position and take advantage now that Manchester City is not that strong.

In less than 1 hour the match between Braga vs Real Madrid will be presented and as usual Ancelotti will still use his flagship formation, namely 4-4-2 diamond. Maybe there are some new things here, such as Modric and Fran Garcia returning as starters and also Camavinga who will become a defensive midfielder replacing Tchouameni. However, there is something that really surprises me about Ancelotti and he still trusts Rodrygo as a starter. Even in the domestic league, Rodrygo is currently under performing and very rarely scores goals.

I'm quite confused as to why Ancelotti doesn't want to give a chance to Joselu who is much more productive as a striker and it's possible that this time Real Madrid will still have difficulty scoring goals if they still rely on Rodrygo in the attack line. Apart from that, a miracle from Jude Bellingham will still be awaited in this match. My prediction is that Real Madrid will win with a narrow score of 1-2 and they will still dominate the top of Group C.

In the closing match of the week, Valencia defeated Cadiz at home. Atletico Madrid had not won for four weeks in a row after defeating the three Couliers, but as of today they managed to end this winless streak and win with a good game against their opponents. The hosts, who took the lead with a goal in the early minutes, made good use of their opponents' ten men and managed to take a 2-0 lead four or five minutes after the opponents were down to ten men. With the end of the first half, the result of the match was actually determined.

I'm not frightened because I'm confident Bayern will win the game, Bayern Munich can not afford to lose against Galatasaray, because they're top team and untouchable in UCL competition. First half, the score is 1-1 and outstanding performance from both sides. Galatasaray entertaining Bayern Munich with a high level performance. A competitive game but the best side will always go home with solid points. In addition, Galatasaray performance surprised everyone because nobody expected them to be in good shape against an elite team like the Bavarians.

I can't help but admire this team, talk about skill, btw this isn't my fpl team but the highest of game week 9 in the entire world..

Am wondering to myself what stops us from getting such scores with such a practical team and without any Manchester city assets that I expect everyone to own at least 1 but a non City squad, this is a slap in the face..well played Gretna FC(Serbia).

Team Kanapka, congrats on that solid 110 points making you the GW9 champ

@swogerino @rohang @Igebotz Yeah I personally can't really tell right now what strategy works but I believe consistency is key. I mentioned maybe 18 point average (for 180 total points sounds decent Top 10 but too early to tell). Worth mentioning plenty of 10-point stakes on decent favourites suggest many agree here.

KTChampions is averaging just under 15 points per round and that would by far destroy bullrun2020bro's 419 points.

@KTChampions, lucky streak or pure skill? ;P

I agree, Because even if we consider Athletic Bilbao a weak team, still Barcelona needed to win this game harder because they are currently racing with Real Madrid in La Liga while Real Madrid is much stronger than last season because of the players they bought. Now we are waiting for the next game in La Liga between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The exact result is about not failing to get points in this match because yes, so far this season Tottenham has managed to get very good results. Although not all matches are won but at least, Tottenham managed to be unbeaten so far this season. So yes, playing at home against Fulham can be a definite result for Tottenham to win or draw. Because anyway, so far this season also when Fulham played away, in fact Fulham managed to hold Arsenal to a draw with a score of 2-2 in the third week this season. Therefore, at least I said Tottenham would still get points whether it was through a win or a draw because after all, maybe Fulham could have provided a difficult resistance in this match to be able to end the match with a draw, who knows.

Well, currently the situation in Russia is complicated, I know that, but is it so difficult for you to leave the country? Europe is very close, have you considered going out like Venezuelans do? I really admire him, because they have to go through jungles, facing very difficult situations, the Russians for me are people who are very intelligent and apart from that they are people who have gone through difficult situations, I know that the situation with the president and with the War is a complicated thing, but there must be something like a way where you can leave with your family safely, and then ask for asylum in another country, that's what the majority did, however, I don't know how much control the Russians have over it. going out, of course with family and everything becomes very complicated, but I don't know if the policies apply to you, I know that the USA as well as most countries have rules and facilities to enter the country but as refugees, but in a country with so much complication can give you some ease, of course that's what I can say.

Many people I know wanted to go to Russia because of how beautiful it is, in fact in the government I am in they offered me a postgraduate degree to go to Russia permanently, I don't know, but I think things could happen somehow because I didn't accept it, because it seemed very far away and because wow I like the language a lot, but the fact that it was so far away is something I didn't like, a friend did leave and I think he got married and is there, he didn't He regrets it, but of course it is very different to live from that moment to now as the situation is there, to have everything that represents being a country where many things are prohibited, I hope you can leave your country with your family safely, they give you the opportunity to be in another country, or that another country asks you so you can work, that's what I can see you can do, depending on your skills, it's one way to do it.
