After Napoli's 4-0 defeat against Milan in Serie A I thought it was just an accident. Expected Napoli to dominate the Champions League and beat Milan easily. But we don't see that. Napoli lost 1-0 against Milan in the Champions League match. Milan's defense is very strong. Napoli players could not score any goal despite attacking a lot. As Milan already won 1-0 in the first leg. They will try to draw the match in the second leg. And because Milan's defense is so strong. And so it will be very difficult for Napoli to win the match. But the match is Napoli's home match. Napoli have the ability to beat Milan by a big margin if the home Napoli players are confident.
all of that will be difficult to do considering Ac milan will continue to focus on their game to play better than what they showed during the first leg match. the second leg will be a match of life and death both ac milan and napoli they will give all their strength for the second leg later. The advantage for Napoli is the return of Osimhen to the team and they are hosts for the second leg but that doesn't mean that Ac Milan chances are quite small in the second leg because they have winning capital which makes them more confident in facing Napoli in the second leg. |

After I watched the way Manchester City demolished Bayern Munich with ease at the Etihad Stadium, I guess the chances for Leicester City hoping to gain any points from this upcoming match against Manchester City is extremely low. I think Manchester City will be able to beat Leicester City relatively easily.
Manchester city on paper will be able to win this match easily because the opponents they face are not too strong, especially Leicester City bad performance lately will be their weak point to provide strong competition in this match. even leicester city is at the bottom of the standings with a bad record of never winning in the last 7 matches. Leicester city defense is pretty bad this season i would even think that this match would give birth to a lot of goals, especially haaland who is in quite an impressive condition on the front line of manchester city. it is possible that a score of 3-0 will be the ideal score for this game which will take place at the Etihad stadium. |

Victor Osimhen is a real goal machine guys
he scored a lot of goals and Napoli doesn't work 100% without him
i have a lot of respect for this player, who scored 21 goals!
Two times napoli was playing against ac milan without osimhen. Napoli was losing two times in a row against ac milan. That proves how important osimhen is to the club. The secondary striker can do nothing against ac milan. Victor osimhen sometimes was giving some golden chances for their team mates to make goals. Kvarat doesn't have chemistry with elmas. That is also giving a huge impact on the team. The great news is if spalletti already confirmed that osimhen will be playing in the second leg. Luciano Spalletti confirmed that Victor Osimhen would join Napoli for their upcoming clash against Hellas Verona and looked back on the Champions League quarter-final loss to Milan. https://football-italia.net/spalletti-confirms-osimhen-return-and-reflects-on-napoli-loss-to-milan/The chance for napoli to make its comeback against ac milan is still there since napoli was only losing 1-0 in the first leg against ac milan. I hope that kvarat and osimhen will make lots of goal against ac milan in the second leg. Napoli had to fight hard to beat Ac milan. Two consecutive defeats made the mentality fall when facing Ac milan. I would even judge that people would really believe that Osimhen comeback would have a good impact on Napoli and that is very natural because he is the heart of Napoli in scoring goals. However, what Napoli should be aware of is the revival of Leao and Giroud performance in the second leg later because the two Ac Milan stars were able to provide quite a strong problem for Napoli's back line. For a big score I think it might be difficult to happen even if this were to become a reality only the team that scored the first goal would do that. most likely the score of the second leg will end with a thin score even if a draw is a pretty big chance. |

Manchester city are a very good team and like Last year they have the opportunity to secure both the English premier league and also the champions league but this can also serves as a dissapointment for them because there attention will be divided to play in all the cup competition they are in. I think they have the FA CUP, CHAMPION LEAGUE AND THE PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE to play for and this can disrupt their gameplay and hopefully it will act as an advantage for the Gunners as they don't really have much competition on their hand.
nothing will affect the Manchester City squad even though they have a pretty busy schedule. Pep Guardiola is a coach who is quite a genius, he will be able to manage the energy of his players for every match they play. In fact, every game they have played, Manchester City has been able to win match with a big score which shows that they don't have the slightest problem in the match they are playing. But anything can happen and that's Arsenal's luck. for this week manchester city will face a team ranked lower in the standings, even in my opinion pep guardiola will not rotate his playing scheme in this match they will go down with the perfect squad to get the win. |

I strongly believe in Napoli's victory in this second match. If you look at the bookmakers, the highest win probability among the 4 matches is Napoli's:  SourceReasons to believe in a victory:1 - Napoli will have a much easier game ahead of them against Verona, they will be able to spare some players and if they lose they won't mess up the Italian championship, unlike Milan who have an important game against Bologna to defend their position to qualify for next year's Champions. 2 - Napoli will play at home 3 - Napoli only lost 3 games in the Italian championship, they are a very hard team to beat, and I don't believe it will happen again, even more in sequence. 4 - There are good chances for Osimhen to play, he is an important reinforcement. Only if Napoli plays a VERY bad match to lose this one and/or the classification. I am totally betting on Napoli. I chose Ac milan to calm the second leg match. no matter how difficult it is, I will believe that Ac milan will be able to overcome Napoli and advance to the semifinals. I am not going to watch or compare the games they will play in Serie A even if it is important for them. which however the ucl and serie A matches are quite different because Ac milan has done their best in the ucl this season I don't think they will waste the opportunities they have. indeed winning with a narrow score has not provided comfort for ac milan but they have better capital to look at the second leg. I hope AC Milan can repeat the big win at home to Napoli. |

Empoli were favorites in this match. But they can't win. Empoli lost this match despite having 68% ball possession. The Cremonese was lucky enough. But it cannot be said that Cremonese's performance was not good. Cremonese performed well enough. And I would say they deserved to win this match Cremonese scored only 4 minutes into the match. After that, I thought they would play completely defensively. But the Cremonese didn't play a defensive strategy they attacked a lot. The Cremonese team is still in the relegation zone. And Cremonese's chances of getting out of the relegation zone are slim.
Cremonese were lucky in this match because they were able to score early and were able to maintain this advantage until the long whistle was blown. Even though they were under pressure in this match, they were able to make Empoli lose their momentum to get points in this match. however, possession of the ball does not automatically become the basis for judgment against the two teams if they fail to score in that match. empoli is not stable lately. lazio also showed his best strength after winning the match against spezia with a final score of 0-3. lazio has been a team that has performed well in the second half of the season. I think they are aiming for the runner up for this season. This victory was also very meaningful for Lazio because it was able to widen the distance from the team below. |

Actually, on paper Lyon has 58% possession of the ball and even Lyon should be able to win with a bigger score, but as the host Toulouse performed very well making attacks on Lyon's goal and also had many kicks towards Lyon's goal, Toulouse was able to balance Lyon's game . The score should have been a draw in this match but because of an own goal from Toulouse they finally lost points in the last minutes of the game and Lyon stole full points to bring home 3 points.
I thought I would lose my betting money on this match because of a draw, but thanks to the own goal from a Toulouese player at least I could win in my bet for Lyon , Lyon has moved up to 6th place in the standings with 50 points the same as Rennes but Rennes will against Reims tomorrow and of course it will be an interesting and difficult match. if Rennes wins it will shift Lyon back in 6th place.
Lyon was able to continue the winning trend after successfully stealing full points at home to Toulouse with a 1-2 final result for Lyon victory. an additional 3 points makes Lyon even closer to being ranked 5th as a participant in the European Conference league Qualification. Lyon is only 2 points different from Losc and 8 points from the rank top 4 team. I think Lyon's opportunity to improve their ranking is still enough time for them because this season they still have 7 more matches left. but the team above Lyon's ranking has not played a match this week so there is still a difference in the points gap between them. in another match psg will face Lens in tomorrow's game which is likely to be quite an interesting match this week. |

What an insane performance by Schalke today! They really needed a win to improve their form and have faith for not relegating from the Bundesliga as well. It looks like they have their incentive for that now. Because they defeated Hertha by a really huge result like 5-2 home. This must even be their top game in this season. It was really important to win like this for Schalke because they were struggling a lot about scoring goals comfortably.
If things go in their way about the other matches as well then Schalke can really be in this race to stay here. But even if they managed to make it they still need to make a huge improvement in the squad. I don't think it is only due to the management. They really need a little more qualified players to be able to go for upper positions easier than now.
Schalke did quite an extraordinary job they really targeted 3 points in that match and schalke managed to achieve it with a final result of 5-2. However, an additional 3 points have not been able to get them out of the relegation zone but their efforts have been seen from now where they will try hard for the rest of this season to win every game with the target of getting out of the relegation. however schalke have a pretty strong drag for the rest of the season as the opponents they face next are strong enough for them. I hope they can do their best in the upcoming matches and I was a little amazed by their game when they beat Hertha Berlin. |

Sevilla has good confidence to win the home match in the second leg. But because Manchester United are in good form, I think they also have a good chance to be expected to win. The match was still interesting because both of them drew 2-2.
these two teams still have the same chance because the first leg ended in a draw. Manchester United was indeed stronger than Sevilla in the first leg because they were able to score early even though a draw was the final result of the match because of two own goals which made Sevilla lucky in the first leg. well, in the second leg, Sevilla will be the host, which benefits them a little because they get full support from the fans who filled the Sanchez pizjuan stadium. but if manchester united plays better in the second leg later i think their chances are big enough to beat sevilla. |

Chelsea Chelsea is not really in a very good position in the points table. The worst teams of the past are currently above Chelsea in the points table. I think the reason why Chelsea team become worse so much is because of the failure of the coach of the team. Worse, the players they brought to Stamford Bridge in the transfer market last winter. no one performed well, except of Enzo. the rest, playing underperform. Chelsea we all know is a big club that was performing excellent but at this moment, Chelsea is like a toy, can be beaten by any club in the league. They currently do not have a specific style of play and that's one of the problems at the moment of which their current manager Frank Lampard can can not even do anything to save them because he lacks the tactical ability to change the club's performance and results. Chelsea is a big team that has had very good achievements.
Yes, from a coach's point of view, maybe that's a minus point for Chelsea this season because their players are almost on average of good quality but they fail to play a role on the field because of tactical problems that their players don't understand. It's no doubt that Chelsea often lose points in every game which makes them rank 11th in the standings table. Under Lampard, Chelsea also started a bad trend because they lost to Wolves and they also had bad luck in the Ucl because they lost to Real Madrid. Next season we will not see Chelsea in the UCL or Europa League because Chelsea is outside the top 4 and it is even possible that Chelsea will lose again against Brighton. |

I agree that leaving the hunt for Bellingham makes sense for most teams. It is said that Dortmund wants 130 million for him, considering that would be double what City paid for Haaland (because of release clause) I would say that it is too much. Maybe 90 million at tops? That would make sense, but when you go towards three digits that's where you lose me. Well, it is not three digits per say, it's 8 digits but you know what I mean.
We are talking about a player that is too much heavily dependant on having good players around him, and if you pay 130 million on him without having other stars around him, he will not worth that much. In dortmund he doesn't play like a 130 million guy, but if you put him in liverpool he would, that's why they priced him that way.
the clause that dortmund wants is too expensive and it will make a large number of clubs who want to sign him think twice before sending a proposal for them. indeed he has quite good quality but the price is very expensive for a team that wants to target him in the transfer window. I think both Real Madrid or Liverpool are rumored to be teams that are very interested in bringing in Bellingham in the transfer window later. In my opinion if Bellingham goes to Spain he will go to Real Madrid and vice versa if he wants EPL then Liverpool is the goal. |

Yes, you're right, Arsenal is certainly anxious because their position is increasingly being threatened. Meanwhile, Man City alone has a better performance every day. Of course, this will threaten Arsenal in the fight for the next EPL trophy. even in the last 5 matches, Man City has been able to win in a row without any big problems.
Man City also has won against Bayern so their motivation must be much better again. This will give a certain influence on all players and Man City. Moreover with some additional notes, Man City will be really a nightmare for Arsenal in EPL.
That competitive league is the most difficult area point for the top. even hope can be dashed instantly if arsenal loses balance in the upcoming match. Manchester City is able to do anything to put pressure on Arsenal because their consistency and mentality are strong enough in the few matches they have played because this has been proven by the big wins they have recorded. neither Arsenal nor Manchester City can afford to let their guard down in the games they play. Manchester City will be quite a tough rival for Arsenal in the race for the EPL trophy because they will meet in the upcoming match. That match will provide a big mandate for the team that will become the EPL champion this season. |

I don't think Valencia and Sevilla will be relegated this season regardless of their performance in the last 28 matches. Valencia is actually worse than Sevilla, but I still have faith that they will get out of the relegation zone and stay in La Liga next season.
I see Valencia as favorite against Sevilla this weekend, but I tend to think that the two teams will draw. Both teams are both having problems regarding performance, so it would be very risky to choose one of them to win even if Valencia is playing at home. The productivity of the goals of the two teams was very bad, where they were only able to score 30 and 33 goals in 28 matches, while Sevilla was a weaker team in defense than Valencia.
either Valencia or Espanyol they still have the same chance to get out of the relegation zone next week because the point gap at the bottom of the standings is not too significant from each other so that the team that manages to come back in the upcoming match will have one step faster to improve their ranking . for sevilla they can do their best to stay in the laliga next season. they have a lot of fans around the world and hope they can do their best for the rest of the season. |

I think it is purely a desire for him to go and not because of competition or anything else because Lionel Messi has won every title in his football career. messi is often associated with mbappe and they are often compared unfairly in comparing the qualities of the two. I even think it's lucky for Mbappe to have the experience of playing with a football legend in mastering all the ways and forms in terms of the qualities that Lionel Messi has.
Messi looks to obsessed with his ambition to win another and last Champions League in his career. Beyond that, he has nothing more to want and it is not bad if he leaves Europe and move to Saudi Arabia to enjoy very last seasons in his career but be able to fill up his pocket with hundreds of million dollar. I think Barcelona will make every effort to repatriate Lionel Messi, especially the option of selling players that they will carry out in the transfer season window to balance their expenses.
Chance to win Champions League with Barcelona is small and they are not able to pay high salary for Messi. It pluses with bad treatment they gave to Messi two years ago, they will not have chance to convince him to return. Maybe you are right, Messi is really targeting the Champions League trophy for the end of his career as a soccer player. I will not feel pessimistic if he will succeed in next season with a good record he should be able to do with a club that has strong strength and that is team manchester city. but I don't think he will betray Barcelona even though he was quite disappointed two years ago for the treatment he received. Xavi has tempted Messi to accept the offer to return to Barcelona. Moreover, all Barcelona players really hope that Lionel Messi can return to Barcelona, especially Lewandowski, who has said that it would be quite special if he played in the same team as Messi. |

and I think now I understand why Inter Milan in some matches in Serie A is not very good. it seems that Inter Milan is indeed focused on winning in the Champions League. and yes, the victory in the first leg is also quite good for Inter Milan. because a score of 2-0 will certainly be a big capital for Inter Milan to be able to maintain victory even in the second leg. Well, Inter Milan is one step away from qualifying for the semi-finals.
chances are they will do their best in the champions league. I'm sure Inter Milan will be able to win the second leg later because they are on paper to qualify for the semifinals if they can take advantage of the advantage from the first leg. On the one hand, Inter Milan also has to be able to make big changes in Serie A matches because Inter Milan is on a bad track in Serie A in the last 5 matches because of 3 consecutive defeats and the last draw was against Salernitana. inter milan ranking in their standings table is outside the top 4 and it's time for them to end their bad streak and focus on improving their ranking in the standings table. |

With not many games remaining this season, of course Arsenal must be able to beat West Ham and Southampton. But I think we all have almost the same predictions, namely Arsenal will be able to win against West Ham and Southampton. because actually Arsenal against Liverpool even in the early round they looked extraordinary. it's just that Arsenal made a mistake when they slightly lowered the aggressiveness of their attack after winning 2 goals. and I'm sure Arsenal will try not to make a mistake again in the next matches. I believe Arteta can always correct mistakes quickly.
that's what the fans expect where they have to be really ambitious in the next fight. arsenal game this season is quite good because arsenal was able to overcome many obstacles that they had shown in the previous matches. 8 matches to the title which must be really well focused to get victory. Arsenal must be champions this season and must be able to break the dominance of Manchester City because if this happens I really believe next season will be even more fierce in the race for the title. on the other hand liverpool seems to be quite difficult to catch their target this season to reach the top 4 because until this week the difference in points between liverpool and the top 4 teams is 12 points adrift which is quite difficult for them to chase if look in terms of their less impressive performance at the end This. |

Yes, of course that's what Arsenal need. Even holding Man City to a draw would have been good enough for Arsenal. As long as Arsenal can continue to win in other matches. because the difference in points is currently really thin. because Man City has 1 match postponed which will certainly make the difference in points with Arsenal closer. and at this time it can be said that Arsenal are not in a safe position. because if Arsenal lose just one time to a team other than Man City then it is possible that Man City will take first place from Arsenal. and erase Arsenal's hopes of winning the title this season.
Don't focus on this game as a bow that will be the toughest game for arsenal. because in my opinion every game played by arsenal deserves to be likened to a final match for arsenal and it is mandatory for them to sweep all matches by gaining 3 points because the failure to get full points from the match against liverpool is an advantage for manchester city. therefore Arteta must be able to make the tempo of their game better in the upcoming match. I mean they don't get complacent away if they have scored a goal earlier because that's a ridiculous thing that will make the end result change from what was expected. |

Congratulations on Inter Milan's win in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Benfica. although Inter Milan currently in Serie A seems inconsistent. but it turns out that Inter Milan have proven that they are a strong team that is also more experienced in the Champions League. and if Inter Milan is able to secure their lead in the second leg then at least 2 clubs from Serie A will qualify for the Champions League semi-finals.
Yes, Inter deserved congratulations for them for being able to steal the victory in the first leg which took place at home to the opponent. inter milan was able to show a better game in the Champions league even though inter milan in serie A they were relatively unstable in a number of matches which made them shifted by ac milan and roma. inter milan seems to focus enough of their energies on the Champions league. In my opinion, Inter Milan already has one foot to reach the semifinals and they must defend it during the second leg match which will take place at the San Siro. |

I don't think competitor between Lionel Messi and Mbappe because before Messi move to PSG already have Neymar can working well as team with Mbappe. I think so serious when saying about Mbappe and Lionel Messi as competitor in PSG and one of them have leave in this season how to make conducive team. Lionel Messi not extended contract with PSG not competitor reason but he has financial problem still not accepted by PSG and higher salary offering become main problem why two months contract expiry and Lionel Messi still not announce yet for extending contract. Barcelona want to signing Lionel Messi?  , they don't have enough money and Messi offering fantastic salary with PSG how possibility to signing Lionel Messi without having huge money? I think it is purely a desire for him to go and not because of competition or anything else because Lionel Messi has won every title in his football career. messi is often associated with mbappe and they are often compared unfairly in comparing the qualities of the two. I even think it's lucky for Mbappe to have the experience of playing with a football legend in mastering all the ways and forms in terms of the qualities that Lionel Messi has. I think Barcelona will make every effort to repatriate Lionel Messi, especially the option of selling players that they will carry out in the transfer season window to balance their expenses. |

I agree that Atletic Madrid may overtake Real Madrid since it is only 2 point difference. But it looks difficult for Atletico Madrid. They still have some big matches (against Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and Villareal). I assume Atletico Madrid may miss some points in these matches. While Real Madrid seems to have no big matches anymore, they only play against small teams. So, we can assume that Real Madrid will win all the remaining matches and ends this season in 2nd place.
By the way, if Atletico Madrid can maintain their good performance, they are very possible to finish in the top 4. I'm quite happy that Atletico Madrid will play in UCL for the next season. They already improved their game quite well, it is very different from the 1st half of this season.
I don't think it will be too difficult if Atletico Madrid can secure 3 points in the upcoming game. Almeria is Atletico Madrid next opponent, I think they will be able to get full points in this match, especially Atletico Madrid in a pretty good situation against Almeria where Diego Simeone's men have recorded 5 consecutive wins. even Atletico Madrid have not lost in the 12 matches they have played. where was their last defeat against Barcelona. So with a fairly perfect run in Laliga in the last 12 matches, Atletico have been able to stick closely to Real Madrid in the standings with a close enough point difference. I think Atletico Madrid will take this opportunity to shift Real Madrid ranking in the coming weeks. |
