Just as I thought before, both Inter Milan and Liverpool took the initiative to play attacking football, so it makes a spectacle that is quite interesting to watch. I think both teams are evenly matched, but Liverpool has a better finishing touch than Inter Milan. Inter Milan does still have hope in the 2nd Leg, it's just that it's going to be a tough struggle because the 2nd Leg will be held at Anfield, and to be able to win by a goal difference of more than 2 at Liverpool's lair is not an easy task.
I see Inter Milan's attack is quite good, it's just that the finishing is not good and I think what is in place in the Inter Milan striker is too old, Lautaro Martinez replaced by Sanches of course no one is faster to finish the goal and this lost quickly to the Liverpool defender . Liverpool have a sharp striker that makes Inter Milan have to submit because for me Inter Milan's game after missing one goal is getting weaker instead of attacking. Small chance in the second leg I don't think Inter can win. Actually, the attacking side of Inter Milan is good but the defending of Inter Milan is quite shaky at the back. I think the attackers worked well but the Liverpool defenders were on top of their game and didn't make any mistakes. And in the second leg, Liverpool is going to play in home conditions and I don't think they are going to lose. |

Why would BCCI look for profit through women cricket when they are making more profit every year through IPL? WIPL will not generate revenue for them as not many Indians watch women cricket within India. Have you ever seen a lot of crowds gathering in the stadium when women cricket is being played in India?
One of the concerns is that the WIPL may take away audience from the IPL or dilute the brand of the IPL. It is true that unlike some of the other countries such as England and Australia, women's cricket is not that popular in India. But similar to what happened with the IPL, if the WIPL is launched it can cause a spike in the popularity for the women's game. It will bring big bucks as well, as some of the corporates and celebrities who can't afford franchises or sponsorship in the IPL may opt for the women's variety. No, that was never a concern that WIPL will take away viewership of IPL. The truth is women cricket doesn't have viewership in India. The situation of women cricket is still better in india than in the neighbouring cricket playing nations. BCCI doesn't want to gamble with WIPL and waste its time and resources when they know it will not be successful at all. The women's IPL might actually be successful because there is a certain amount of interest in women's cricket in India and as we all know that almost all of the people in India love cricket I think women's IPL will be also popular. But one thing needs to be looked at which is to make the schedule at separate times so that no clash happens. |

After seeing Mbappe's great effort and his fascinating goal against Real Madrid, PSG must be really uncomfortable with his leaving the club this summer. And Real Madrid must be very impressed by the performance of their future player.  As Kylian Mbappe has already made up his mind, I don't think that PSG will be able to stand in his way. But for now, Mbappe seems to be focused on bringing the title to his current team. He is so professional that he doesn't perform badly even though he is going to leave the team. He is giving his best. It was a great goal, PSG were in complete control of the game and could have scored more, Thibaut Courtois made some great saves last night, it would be a step up for his career if it was about the money, he would have stayed in PSG because they are willing to upgrade his wages, but Mpabbe simply needs a new challenge in a more competitive league, he would be a perfect replacement for Ronaldo, they have been missing that link for some time now since I wish he could stay for a few more years to help the club win the Champions League, but that seems increasingly unlikely every season. I believe this is their best chance. Well, obviously he is going to perform well for his current club. If he doesn't, it's gonna create a lot of problems for him. So to think otherwise is just foolish. If anything, he should play much better to impress his future teams, wherever he may go. And it's better if he just goes on to play for another club, at the moment which seems more likely to be Real Madrid. I think in Real Madrid, we are going to see more dominating performance from mbappe. |

I think that it is already determined that Trabzonspor are going to be the champion team at the end of the season. They played an important match against Konyaspor last and won it by 2-1 too. Visca's performance was really fascinating I think. It hasn't been much time since he joined the team but he adapted very fast. And he scored two crucial goals in this match. Trabzonspor are a really complete team now and the only thing they need to do from now on is to keep this level. This could help them dominate at least a few of the coming seasons too.
I agree that Trabzon will be the champions, which has been established for a long time now but I do not agree that they are a great team. They are doing great relative to the league right now but it is by far the worst super league in memory so they are just good amongst the bad and they are not great. Put in some peak historical teams and this team would be horrible, but every team is doing terrible this year. BJK who became champions recently playing like a team who forgot how to play, Galatasaray plays like they may relegate, fenerbahce haven't been good in a long time, these would all give Trabzon a run for their money if they were back in their glory days but they all suck. Hence, I believe it is not trabzon that is good, it is others that are bad. Trabzonspor is surely going to be the winner of this league because they have a 12 points lead. I don't think that there is any team who can catch them at this moment. The first and second are quite sure but the competition starts from the third position. There is not too much of a point difference from the third place to actually the end of the table. This league is really competitive as all the teams can move up the ladder. |

PSG looks enjoy and most safety on first standing position at Ligue 1, left 13 points from Marseille is not have to worry again maybe PSG can lock Ligue 1 trophy several match later before game ended. I think still have positive side for PSG after first leg win from Real Madrid on champion league and they can take rest with non regular player on this week against Saint-Étienne as relegation team right now, maybe not difficult for PSG to get three points although spent several important player like Messi, Mbappe or Neymar.
Most likely PSG will not field their star players when facing Nantes on the 19th, because they are already struggling in the champions league, the club has definitely given enough rest time for them, not fielding star players does not mean PSG underestimate the Nantes players but the club is doing everything it's for player fitness. although the second leg of the new Champions league will be crowned on March 10, but the club must save their star player from getting injured. I too believe that Poch will be keen to rest his star player’s and make sure they’re not injured for their clash against Real Madrid, but if he decides to play them and they end up losing to Real Madrid then he’ll be sacked right away. Lastly a one goal lead is not enough for PSG, but if they dominate Real Madrid in their home ground then Poch will take PSG one step closer to winning the champions league, and which will raise an interesting question will he then decide to walk away from this project or stay with PSG?. I actually think that Real Madrid will be able to come back and win even though they have a 1 goal deficit. I am really looking forward to seeing how PSG plays in away conditions. And this is the situation where I think PSG should have scored more goals to have more security about the situation. You know, Real Madrid is A team who can come back from such situations. But I think PSG will be really determined to win the next leg as well, and PSG will officially have an easier time because they have a slight lead. |

After previously Atletico won with a lot of struggle despite playing at home against Getafe, now Atletico will return to playing at home but with a different opponent. If compared to its position in the standings, of course this season Levante looks a very weak team and in fact, it seems Levante no longer has a chance to get out of the relegation zone. But even so, in the first match of the season Levante actually managed to draw Atletico with a score of 2-2 even though indeed, in that match Atletico almost won but Levante could score an equalizer in the last minute of the match. Now with conditions that are clearly very different, I believe Atletico will win easily in this match considering that the top 4 rivalry with Barcelona is still ongoing.
I think we all can agree that at the start of the season a lot of good teams are quite rusty and they often lose to weaker opponents. That's what happened in the previous match between Atletico Madrid and Levante. But now Atletico Madrid is going to be really motivated to win this match and Levante seems to be stuck in the relegation zone for longer. I really don't believe that they are going to get out of the relegation zone this season. |

That doesn't apply to Antonio Conte's full title in the EPL, the proof is that Tottenham is still losing in a row so far while next week with Mancity of course this is not an easy opponent, I know Spurs still have a few games left but it will also be difficult to compete in the top 4 of the EPL, but I see West Ham can prove it's a tough competition for Manchester United.
But with a full win during the game against Brighton, it could last that temporarily for Man United, but it won't last long that's my opinion.
8th place in the EPL is not a good position if they are hoping to get into CL. The difference in points and the performance conditions of their competitors in the top position is also not an easy thing for them to solve because after all their conditions will also pursue the same thing. Tottenham have a very low chance even difficult to catch him. Better just focus on the next season and let this time be their practice to change. Conte will not let this continue for long. I think this season Tottenham has done quite badly by their standards and now they don't have much of a chance to get back into the top 4 anymore because the points difference is quite big. I think they are done for this season too and they need to focus on the next season and try to start better and continue performing consistently. |

The match between Barcelona v Napoli became difficult to predict, in contrast to the previous one where Barcelona was not so good and inversely proportional to the previous Napoli. Now after yesterday's transfer window, the situation has changed as both are at their best at the moment and both have chances to win. It's different if this happened a few seasons ago then of course Barcelona would be the one to win, but now both seem to have equal quality and therefore I think it's difficult to predict. But even so, the odds currently available suggest that Barcelona are still the favourites and I think both teams will certainly be able to score.
Barcelona had good records during met Napoli on 2020 but at that time Messi still in the team and Barcelona were very strong but this season very different that Barcelona still unstable in laliga however for my bets i think i will pick Barcelona win because seems the odds for them are decent to try and i wish in this match new players will showing good performance such as against Atletico Yes, I also think that Barcelona has better odds to win against Napoli because even though they have started the season really badly but right now they are doing quite well. They have made a good comeback. I know this match is going to be really hard for Barcelona to win but they should still be able to do it judging by their current performance. If this was a few weeks ago, I would have said that Barcelona has no chance but now things are looking good for them. |

Yes, the competition for the La Liga trophy is for Real Madrid and Sevilla. But I think Real Madrid still has a bigger chance to win it. Although the point gap is only 4, the remaining matches seem not really difficult for Real Madrid. Maybe the match Real Madrid vs Sevilla on matchday 32 will be a crucial match to determine which team to win the trophy. If Real Madrid can get 3 points in this match probably has a bigger chance to win the La Liga trophy.
The fact that now there are only two contenders for the title is obvious (and Sevilla is more of a theoretical contender than a real one). Their match will indeed be the final one of this rivalry and most likely after it Real Madrid will almost officially become the champion of Spain, but I don't think this match will be important. Real Madrid have a rather easy calendar of games and most likely the gap with Sevilla will already be critical by this match. I think that Real Madrid had this season quite easy for them because the competition was not really great and the main competitor which is Barcelona was almost out of the equation for almost half of the season. Sevilla is currently 4 points behind. And judging by the opponents that Real Madrid will be facing next, I don't think that they are going to drop points, so Sevilla really does not have much of a chance to catch up with Real Madrid in my opinion. |

The game which could have been very well the final of this Champions League is going to be played tonight in Stad de France and I think it will be one of the best games of this season.I see PSG as the favorites here with Real Madrid trying to defend and let everything to be solved in their legendary stadium Santiago Bernabeu on the return leg.Still though if the players of PSG play at their 100% condition I don't see a way out for Real Madrid,they are going to lose this.
Obviously, we all know that if PSG can perform at their best they will obviously win the match but the problem is they almost never seem to perform at their best. They have been inconsistent throughout the whole season and lost some matches that they really shouldn't have. But Real Madrid is not in the form of their life so to say. They haven't been struggling but they also have not been very consistent instead of having low competition. I think PSG is the better team between these two solely based on the squad. |

There will be only one game played today and my favorite is Fiorentina. In this away game, they will get three points and try not to break the tie in the top row. Spezia has collected ten points in the last four games and they have soaring performances. Fiorentina is on the decline. I think things will change for both sides after this match. It could be a breakout match. Fiorentina has to get used to playing without Vlahovic.
Fiorentina should be the easy winners of this match as they are far better than Spezia in my opinion. This match is going to have a great effect on the table. Spezia also might have some tricks up their sleeves but I really don't believe that they are going to win this match. But both teams are not in the greatest of runs in recent times. |

The German Kicker reports that FC Bayern would like to extend the contract with Alexander Nübel beyond 2025. However, it is problematic that Nübel does not want to sit on the bench as a second goalkeeper at Bayern but demands playing practice. This, however, is consistently rejected by regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. One possibility would be a contract extension followed by another loan to a Champions League club. Alex Nübel would be willing to return to Bayern, but only if he's guaranteed a number of appearances - not only in the DFB Pokal, but also in the Champions League. Manuel Neuer, on the other hand, will never accept that.
Bayern are aware that Alexander Nübel and Manuel Neuer cannot coexist in the team. But the club's bosses still see Nübel as a future Neuer successor and would be willing to extend the 25-year old contract beyond 2025, while keeping him out on loan, ideally in a CL club [Kicker] Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1492974430674427911Hm, I indeed think Nübel would benefit from a further loan to another club. Manuel Neuer will probably be able to play at the highest level for another two or three years. After that, a Nübel in top form could become Bayern's new regular goalkeeper. I don't see any possibility of Nübel being the Goalkeeper of Bayern Munich while Neuer is still here. And I am also sure about one thing Bayern Munich is not going to let him go away because he actually can be the success G.Keeper after Manuel Neuer. So I suspect him being on loan in the recent future too. But I don't know if he will agree with this decision. |

Though Inter Milan is doing well in the Italian league title race and are occupying their first slot in the table but though they are not comfortable there because they are just 1 point above their serious contenders.
Inter has only one point advantage, but also one game less than second-placed AC Milan. Before the weekend, Inter had even a bigger lead, before they narrowly lost the derby 1-2 in a good match against AC Milan. You can't compare teams based on their rankings in their respective leagues because the leagues are not well comparable with each other. If that's what it's all about, then the English champion should have clearly won the Champions League for years. Inter also lost points to Napoli in the last league match. They drawed 1-1. Let me speak clearly. Their chances for their qualifying match against Liverpool look pretty low. They got into a tough fixture. First they lost to Milan, then they lost points to Napoli. Their situation in their league is not bright. ÇIf they don't play at a high level we can see a clear win from Liverpool. Actually, I really don't think this team has any chances against Liverpool. I think in that match Liverpool is going to dominate over their opponent. And they have recent form also does not look really good which can give them any hope. Liverpool is going to win this match but Liverpool also should not underestimate their opponent because we all know what that can lead to. |

Atalanta VS Juventus
The crucial match of Atlanta vs Juventus is being held now. I'm betting on Juventus winning this match. Because Juventus will be ahead of Atlanta if we compare the performance of the previous matches. The Atlanta team is out of form now. Although not in form, they are a strong team. So to win this match, Juventus must play well and keep the defense strong.
I think both teams are equally strong, so I'm expecting a nice draw. My guess is the match will be drawn 1-1. 30 minutes of the match-time has over, neither team has scored yet. But they are trying to attack. No team is playing defensively. The first half will probably be a goalless draw. You are right. Both teams are trying to attack. But Juventus' attacks are relatively strong. Atalanta's 8 shots did not have an on target. On the other hand, 3 out of 7 shots of Juventus were on target. Atalanta is a relatively weak team in the home match. They have managed to collect only 13 points in 11 home matches. |

If Barcelona wins this competition, they will automatically win a place in the Champions League next season, regardless of their place in the Spanish championship.
I even think that Barcelona could win the Champions League easier this season through this competition than through a very uncertain and difficult Spanish championship.
Given this, Barcelona will not give up this opportunity to win this competition and thus secure a place in the Champions League next season.
The performance of the Barcelona team has changed a lot. Now Barcelona can be considered as a stable team. I haven't seen Barcelona lose a match in a long time. They will face Napoli in the first match of the European League. Napoli team is very strong. I don't think Napoli or Barcelona will win the European League title. |

I think that one shouldn't be so sure about Bayern Munich to win the Champions League this season. Because they were so great in the previous season also but PSG eliminated them in the quarter finals already. It was a very competitive draw though and PSG eliminated them thanks to the goals they scored away. There is no such rule anymore though. Anyway, Bayern Munich can have a similar experience if they come across them or some other very powerful team earlier again. For now, they have a comfortable matchup against Salzburg.
To me Bayern Munich can't win Champions League this season, this because I feel like they are not good enough to be the Champions of Europe this season, I have it in mind that PSG will be the Champions because I feel they are capable and they have a very strong team that almost every team will fear to face, with the presence of players like Messi, Mbape, Nymar and others that have a strong team work, that can compete and win. I think the most favorite team this season is Manchester City. They played great on the group stage of the Champions League. Moreover, they are playing very well in the Premier League. No match was lost. PSG team performance is irregular. Nothing can be predicted from their performance. They can also be defeated against a weaker team. However, they have the ability to win the title. |

West Ham vs Leicester 1-1
The game is quite balanced and shows the seriousness of each other who still wants to win. I think West Ham are still opening the gap to make their second goal. Jarrod started the goal and that should be motivation for the other players to give Antonio more space so he doesn't feel cursed after so long without a goal. West Ham should qualify and move away from Arsenal, but there is no need to worry about being chased by Man United as they will not threaten at all.
As I thought Leicester would answer with an equaliser. They are usually a team who are capable of making a comeback. Scoreline stands 2-1 now for Leicester and I don't think the outcome will be any different now. With West Ham lacking proper goalscorers , I don't think they will find any points here today now. Match was drawn between West Ham and Leicester City. West Ham started up very well with a goal at the earliest at 10th minute in the 1st half and there was a real fight for next 30 minutes but later Youri Tielemans from Leicester scored a goal at 45th minute. The 2nd goal followed up very soon at 57th minute. West Ham was able to make its next goal only at 90th minute which really supported the team to draw the match instead of loosing to Leicester. Leicester are a very strong team. Against them West Ham should have attacked a lot. Because Leicester's forward is strong but the defense is not strong enough. If West Ham had attacked more today, they could have scored more goals. We see in almost every match in Leicester, they are able to score a lot of goals at the same time they concede a lot of goals. |

right now Schalke is playing against Düsseldorf (1-0 currently) and Hannover vs Darmstadt (1-1 currently) If it stays like this we would have the Top5 teams within 1 point distance the games are now over and neither of the two clubs could win their game. schalke 04 lost the game in düsseldorf with 1-2 and darmsatdt 98 played 2-2 at hannover 96. so there is only one point difference between the first 4 places - the fifth place (schalke 04) is already 4 points behind a direct promotion place. All the top four teams are in a real competition among themselves as there is only a one-point difference. This will be like it for quite some time and I think if that happens the goal difference will come in handy. So, I think that the teams will have to go for more goals as well as the win. |

Everton's performance was impressive. They played great. Looking at their last few matches I didn’t think they were capable of playing so well. They have attacked a lot in this match. They probably made 21 shots in this match. Leeds didn't get a chance to attack. Had they not won this match, they might have moved to the relegation zone.
It looks like lampard is starting to move and starting to understand his current players so they are able to make a pretty good strategy now. But this is just the beginning and there is no need to rejoice too much I guess because indeed they are still not safe from a table board. They still have a lot to improve on now and don't be complacent, especially since they've only won once after a series of defeats in the EPL. Im not so sure of thath man. Not for the today match but Leeds and all the teams of Marcelo Bielsa has a bad deffense. Because they go up so fast and when they can go up they really strugled with the defense. Look the other day Everton lose to a Newcastle in relegation zone, so its so early to say Lampard find the pace. If you say Leeds has a bad defense, Everton are worse than them and that is evident from how many goals they have scored and how many goals have been against them. In the game against Leeds I felt like Everton were more alive than before and that's definitely the result of hunger. Regardless of believe it or not this is a victory that they obtained after such a long time they endured such poor results In this match we saw a new Everton team. The gameplay of this match was completely different with the style of play of their last match. They played defensively because their defense was weak but still conceded goals. But they attacked a lot against the Leeds, so the Leeds players couldn't counter-attack, which is why Everton won. |
