and another coach sacking in the bundesliga . after the 0:3 dfb cup defeat at hertha bsc berlin, mainz 05 have sacked their coach bo svenson.
in the bundesliga in last place and now out of the dfb cup. that was too much. now i'm curious to see who will be the new coach at mainz.
edit: edit: bo svenson has announced his resignation on his own initiative !
U23 coach jan siewert takes over the team until a new coach is found
What a great decision I guess, because usually coaches who have been in the team for a long time will continue to make efforts to be able to restore the team. But for Bo Svensson, it was the right choice to resign, because Mainz this season is very bad despite the fact that in the previous season Bo Svensson was still able to provide good results for Mainz. But yes, let's look forward to what big changes Jan Siewert will make, because it is certainly not easy to make a quick recovery at this moment because Mainz is still at the bottom of the Bundesliga table. |

Now it seems there is not a good relationship between Neymar and Al Hilal, the Saudis invested lots of money in this Brazilian player and now he is going to be absent for the whole season and this will definitely damage the team but he wants to go to Brazil and do the surgery in his own country also he wants to stay there while he is getting recovered while Al Hilal is not agreed and they want him to stay in Saud Arabia.
Since he suffer long term injury, I wonder what Al Hilal will do with Neymar, obviously Neymar will still appear in Al Hilal social media because they can't just spent money and get nothihng. If he can't play, at least he should become a brand ambassador since he has a big exposure. I will not blame Al Hilal for signing Neymar, but did they not consider beforehand that this player has a history of recurring injuries? This should have been their consideration from the start, because after all it will hurt them when after spending a lot of money, but the player cannot play and contribute to the team, especially since his injury is expected to take a very long time even until the end of this season. Al Hilal have taken that risk from the start, and they should be able to accept it when it comes now. But it seems that the problem is, that Neymar suffered the injury when Neymar played in the Brazil national team, and Neymar was not injured in the match played at Al Hilal. With such a case, then maybe Al Hilal cannot fully accept so it is not surprising, if Al Hilal wants Neymar to undergo treatment and recovery in Al Hilal and not in his country Brazil. Because after all, of course Neymar is still under contract at Al Hilal, so if Neymar cannot stay at Al Hilal, then maybe Al Hilal can break Neymar contract at this moment. |

At the group stage, Liverpool and Laverkusen are two teams that really deserve to be favorites, their performance is also very consistent in their respective leagues. Maybe the list of favorite clubs will increase when the teams that failed from the UCL will enter the Europa League, and if Sevilla plays here then I think they also really deserve to be favorites.
Sevilla is in third place in Group B in the Champions League with 2 points even though they still have 3 matches left. Maybe Sevilla will no longer be serious there and try to stay in 3rd place so they can go down to the Europa League. Liverpool are not too worried about the opponents they will face, including Sevilla. Sevilla's strength is not as good as Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen at the moment. Talking about Sevilla as if they will easily win the Europa League again if they fail to qualify from the group in the Champions League. Sevilla had the same scenario, failing to finish in the top zone in La Liga, but Sevilla was able to win the Europa League title. But, if that scenario happens again this season, I personally believe Sevilla will also fall and will not succeed as before . Therefore, I personally don't care what kind of team will go down to the Europa League because only finishing in the Champions League group stage. Because I sure, that Bayer Leverkusen and also Liverpool have very good quality and chances to continue to advance to the final match of the Europa League this season, because they deserve it. |

Atlético Madrid is very strong this season. They have a strong squad. And they are consistently performing well. They have earned 25 points from 10 matches. If they win the next match, Atletico Madrid will be able to keep the top spot in the points table.
Atlético Madrid have talented players like Griezmann, Depay, Correa and Morate in their attack. And that's why Atletico Madrid's attack is so strong this season. Atletico Madrid managed to score 25 goals in 19 matches. And because of a strong attack, Atletico Madrid have been able to maintain consistency.
Atletico can never be ruled out at any time. Under Simeone they’ve always been a good team, they play turgid football, really ugly but it’s effective. It wouldn’t surprise me one but if they compete for the title this season. They’re far from favourites but they’re definitely in the conversation. Yes indeed, basically Atletico have always been the third team after Real Madrid and Barcelona. But at this moment, it looks like Real Madrid will compete fiercely with Atletico, while for Barcelona maybe this season is not a good season for Barcelona in La Liga after last season Barcelona managed to get the La Liga trophy. Because anyway, at this moment also the fact that Barcelona has a 4 point gap with Real Madrid and surprisingly, currently Girona has the same points as Real Madrid and that is the biggest surprise at this moment in La Liga. |

Yes I am with you here. I saw the game Galatasaray-Bayern Munich and if they repeat that game exactly like that a dozen of times, Galatasaray wins it 80% of the time I think. They had far superior chances and dominated the game really for 70 minutes, it was crazy to watch. But they defeated themselves because if you don't turn those opportunities into goals, it is almost inevitable to lose the game against Bayern Munich eventually. They could have had a lead of maybe 2-0 or on a lucky day 3-0. I think if they scored the first goal, Bayern Munich might have collapsed in that game.
Group A stats, Bayern Munich ranked first, Galatasaray sitting second, while Manchester United 4th and Copenhagen sits bottom with just a point. Galatasaray losing 3-1 at the Türk Telekom Stadı was pure humiliation, given their best performance but having unexpected results was not the plan. The Bavarians came prepared and deserved good points after netting three goals against the home team. Galatasaray failed to convert most of their chances to goals, they maintain constant pressure but netting goals against their visitors, was denied. For me, there is no form of pure humiliation for the match because after all, basically Galatasaray also does not have the quality above Bayern Munich. Therefore, even though Galatasaray lost but at least Galatasaray also managed to score a goal in the match, thus showing that Galatasaray is still able to play with a good match even though Galatasaray does not have above average quality. Unless, if in the second leg later Galatsaray managed to beat Bayern Munich, then it can be said as pure humiliation, because the top team lost at home. |

In the next match schedule for the top three team Arsenal will experience little difficulty because they have to meet Newcastle and play at Newcastle's home ground.
As time goes by this season Newcastle is slowly showing revival and starting to play more consistently so that Arsenal may be under less pressure in this match. If it come to premier league game am not afraid because, I know Arsenal are capable to display what will make them to beat Newcastle in their home ground to make their coach and fans to feel good as usual. I know that Arsenal coach will prepare his players very well so that what happened between them and Chelsea to ended up draw 2:2 will not happen in this game because their coach will do what will make their strikers to score early goals that will give them confident to achieve victory at the end of the game. Tottenham have Chelsea as their opponent and we know how Chelsea have performed in recent seasons.
What a very good day for Tottenham and Chelsea to be able to win easily.
No doubt Tottenham Hotspur will beat Chelsea with many goals in this game because, we saw what Chelsea players are playing in this summer that make them to draw many games with strong teams that made their position very low in the premier league table. About Chelsea indeed, there is no chance for Chelsea to beat Tottenham and what's more, Chelsea will also be playing away. Therefore, it is at least certain that Chelsea will lose but even so, I hope we don't underestimate Chelsea too much. Because yes, even though Tottenham will win, but at least I'm sure that Chelsea won't lose by a big score . After all, Chelsea is not a mediocre team, so maybe Chelsea will be able to stem Tottenham's attacks so they don't lose by a big score. But for the match between Newcastle against Arsenal, I don't think any team can be sure of winning this match. Because after all, Newcastle also has good quality and in this match Newcastle will also play at home. Therefore, I believe there is no strong guarantee for Arsenal to win, because after all Newcastle is not a weak team and is also not an easy team to beat. |

Come on, you have to be objective and not subjective Inter are really strong this year, and I don't think there are any teams that can counter them ok you don't like her, but we can't say false things  Roma were very lucky not to concede more goals okay okay okay I admit it, I admit that my dislike perhaps made me say things that were not perfectly true I agree that the best candidate to win the Scudetto is Inter, as long as they dont lose it like crazy Inter usually do So far in Serie A Inter is still the best, with a better total goal than any other team in Serie A and also, so far Inter is still the team that has conceded the fewest goals in Serie A . So indeed, at this moment Inter is still worthy become a candidate for the title, because basically Inter have also managed to have at least good results over the past few seasons. So ya, it's not surprising that this season Inter is once again the highest candidate to win the Scudetto. But even so, at least I personally think anything can still happen throughout this season, considering that the competing team are also only focused on Serie A this seasons and at least with these factors, the competition will be very hard. |

Two consecutives season with Bayern Munich have been eliminated early in DFB Pokal, despite Thomas Tuchel success won Bundesliga last season but he failed defend DFB Pokal tittle and the same in this season. Currently with starting eleven last night against FC Saarbrücken as third tier football teams in Germany is not difficult opponent but unpredictable have eliminated on second round. Close opportunity for Bayern Munich with treble winner in this season after eliminating in DFB Pokal left Bundesliga and UEFA Champion League as opportunity for winning tittles.
Its should warning or not for Thomas Tuchel as Bayern Munich manager, he looks not compete exactly after losing from third tier of Germany football teams is not good result.
It surprises me too how bayern being beaten by third tier club. Bayern's dream to go to the next stage in DFB pokal must be ended after marcel gaus was beating bayern by making its additional goal during the additional time. No doubt if saarbrucken was really injoying that moments by create a small party for the club. It's a very big achievmeent by beating bayern in the DFB pokal. Believe me or not many people are losing their bets on this match. Many people are feeling so disappointed about how 1 billion team lose against garbage team from the third tier league. It's a shame for bayern. Bayern Munich really disappointed me, how can playing against Saarbrucken who is in the third division of the German league, the result is Bayern Munich lost. In fact, the fact that Saarbrucken in the 3. Liga is also not the best team, but Bayern Munich really can't make a victory despite the fact that Bayern Munich has high dominance in this match. Because yes, with this bad result from Bayern Munich, my parlay bet lost, which should have been an easy win, but what happened was a loss and disappointment that happened to the favorite team in the Bundesliga. |

I'm not sure if Nice can save their place in the first place of the French league table because they are very close to PSG and there is only one point gap between Nice and PSG. Because PSG had a bad start during this season and even people were thinking Enrique was going to get fired from PSG. But time after time they got improved and now there is a high chance for PSG to get in the first place of the French league.
And this will become even more clear this week after the two teams have their next matches in Ligue 1, where PSG will face Montpellier and Nice will face Rennes. And I also think that Nice will be quite pressured to maintain their top position at this time because PSG is getting closer and it is very possible to overtake Nice if PSG can continue to win and Nice itself must also continue to try to win so that it can continue to be at the top of the standings. But for these matches, the match between PSG against Montpellier and the match between Nice against Rennes, I sure PSG and Nice still have a chance to win in those matches. Because yes, PSG and Nice will also play at home and besides that, the opponents they face like Montpellier and Rennes, at least at this moment are not in their best form . Therefore, because they are playing at home and also still have better quality than the opposing team, then it looks like Nice and PSG will still be able to stay in their current position for first and second place in the Ligue 1 standings. But indeed, as time goes by it is clear that PSG will be able to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings this season. |

Even though the points in the top 4 are very close, I think this point will open in the coming weeks and the teams that will open the points above will be Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid were not bad last season, but they are great this season. Griezzman and Morata are very dangerous up front, we are talking about a duo with extreme goal-scoring potential.
This excellent front line has given Atletico Madrid many wins this season and there is even the possibility of winning again in the next match against Las Palmas. I think this season Atletico Madrid will be more dangerous than last season so Atletico Madrid needs to be taken into account as a champion candidate because after the match with Las Palmas everything will be visible and it is even possible that Atletico Madrid will get the top position in La Liga in the near future. Even though Atletico won against Las Palmas and then Atletico were at the top of the standings, but Atletico would return to position 3. Because after all, Real Madrid and Girona also still have a good chance of winning in the next match or in this weekend's match. So yes, it doesn't matter even though Atletico won against Las Palmas, because in reality Atletico still cannot maintain the top position in the La Liga standings. After all, the league is still long, so of course their position will also not settle, because bad and good results will certainly occur and they still cannot maintain their position. |

I don't think Serie A is ever boring. There seems to be interesting matches every day. Bologna and Lazio, Atalanta and Inter, Fiorentina and Juventus. Fiorentina against Juventus will probably be a very interesting game. Fiorentina are playing no worse than Juventus right now.
Apart from Fiorentina against Juventus which might be an interesting match this weekend, I think the match for Atalanta and Inter Milan could also be a very interesting match to watch because currently Atalanta is also quite good which is even better than the Fiorentina team. So some people might be more interested in this match because the playing schedule is earlier than the Fiorentina vs Juventus match. So the fiercer the competition for points in the Serie A standings this season will clearly be, the more interesting the league will be and far from boring. Basically, Atalanta is always part of the competition for the top six every season in the Serie A standings. So yes, because this weekend Atalanta will play against Inter, it is clear that this match will be a big match for this week too. But indeed, apart from this match, of course the match between Fiorentina against Juventus is also a big match at this moment, because Fiorentina is experiencing an increase in performance this season. But, Inter and Juventus will play away and considering that Inter and Juventus still very need with three points, then of course their match this weekend will be very interesting because they are still very ambitious of course to get winning. |

Yes the defence of Manchester United has been on the weak side, but Maguire and the lindelof have been doing exceptional job recently. Dallot was not able to attack almiron properly during that first goal encounter, Maguire would have done a good job if he was in the position of Dallot.
Manchester United really need improvement, I don't know if there should be change on the coach or the entire squared, it really frustrating seeing United strongly to win almost every week.
The changes that Manchester United need are in several players and also in the way they train existing players, because when Manchester United's tactics are now easier for their opponents to read, of course it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win. every week. Moreover, this season Manchester United also have to think more in several competitions including the UCL, where in general they are also struggling to qualify for the next round there. If so, then I think Manchester United should focus on only one competition this season, because playing in many competitions makes Manchester United become bad at this moment. So, because Manchester United also do not have a good chance in the Champion League, then let them fall there . Because then, at least Manchester United can be even better for the results obtained in the Premier League. At least to be able to improve its position in the Premier League standings throughout this season, because if Manchester United is still focused on several competitions then Manchester United will only get worse. |

I wonder if this time it would be the Nice doing a similar work against PSG. It isn't a mission impossible considering PSG' inconsistencies.
nothing is impossible if Nice will try to maintain the top of the standings but it seems like a very difficult task because for now as long as PSG has its mainstay players it is quite easy to continue to get 3 points in every match even though it looks inconsistent but this is all because of the division of the schedule with UCL matches so little influence on matches in league 1. In reality, even though PSG is inconsistent at this moment but in fact, at this moment Nice and PSG only have a 1 point gap. So yes, with the inconsistency that PSG has experienced so far this season, PSG still has a big chance of being able to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Therefore, I personally don't care about the inconsistent results that PSG has had at this moment which you said like that too . Because it is clear, it is difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to maintain their top position except PSG, because PSG is the best team in Ligue 1 and as such, PSG will always have a chance to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. |

Bellingham is a great player, we have to admit. He is completely new to La Liga. The players need a lot of time to adjust to the new league and the new squad. But we have seen a great performance from Bellingham since his first match in Madrid jersey. And Bellingham has become the most important player in the Madrid squad at the moment. Without Bellingham, Madrid's squad is pretty weak right now. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bellingham is the top scorer in La liga this season. Bellingham scored 10 goals in 10 matches in La liga.
Real Madrid has been gifted to have such an astounding young player from Dortmund; he's extraordinary and has developed consistency in games, consistently putting in his best effort. Jude Bellingham is a different breed; since arriving at the Santiago Bernabéu, he has given spectacular performances and delivered Real Madrid in critical situations. This is only his first season, and he's already shattering records; imagine what he'll do in the coming seasons; he's a dynamic attacking midfielder who scores like a top striker in Madrid; he's adaptable and can handle any role that is assigned to him on the pitch. Also, when Vinicius suffered an injury at least at the start of this season, and then many predicted Real Madrid would suffer a big drop in performance this seasons. Because yes, previously many didn't realize the great potential of Bellingham have, so Real Madrid were quite worried this season because before that it was about Vinicius injury and yes, also about Benzema leaving. But what happened this moment, the fact is that Bellingham really managed to make a big change for Real Madrid this season. Because yes, with the great performance that Bellingham has, Real Madrid has managed to get good results in every match so far this season and of course those are extraordinary results. |

Yes indeed, at least I also still admit that Newcastle have a better form than Manchester United at this moment. But for some reason, at least I still think Manchester United also has an equally good chance in this match so yes, I can't underestimate Manchester United and can't just verdict a losing result for Manchester United in this match. Although indeed, in the previous match Manchester United also lost at home against Manchester City in the Premier League match. But with such bad results, it is possible that Manchester United will have great ambitions in this home match to avenge the previous defeat. Of course, Manchester United has the ambition to be able to win in this home match, although the opponent it faces is also a difficult team at this moment.
Football isn't about giving a losing team hope that they will bounce back when their strategies are still the same, Manchester united have not been in good form for sometime now and I don't even see them making any difference in this match. This is a league cup match so the competition is high as Newcastle will not give Manchester united any chance in this game because they too are very optimistic in this game and wouldn't want to relent at all, so I still believe that the odds will be in favor of Newcastle until Manchester united improves then will can confidently stake on them but for now let's just watch and see if they would make a difference If you are confident about your statements, but why are you still just going to watch and or wait whether they make a difference or not . Because ya, if you believe in the statement you have, then you will continue to move forward with that statement, and you should no longer care about the differences that will occur . Because even though I don't underestimate Manchester United, but I also admit that Newcastle have better form atthis moment . Therefore, I think it is not a complete hope either for Manchester United because anyway, in football anything can happen and I not taking anyone's side . Even for the match between Manchester United and Newcastle, the proof is that I only bet on the option for both teams to score and did not choose the 1x2 option. |

Manchester United won the match against Copenhagen I would say by mistake. Their performance was not good. Manchester United's performance was poor in this match as well. Manchester United would not have won this match if Copenhagen player Jordan Lorsson had not missed the penalty.
Mamchester United have been very far from their best, but all they needed in that game was a win, irrespective of how 'ugly' the win was, United are having a very poor run in both the EPL and CL and that has affected their confidence so much. Erik Ten Hag knows that elimination from the group stage of the CL would be a disaster and so United has to win at least two out of their remaining three matches, they have to beat Copenhagen in their next game and the decider could be their clash with Galatasaray, they are in a very difficult group and they could possibly be eliminated. Qualifying for the round of 16 is actually not important for a team that is not in good form, as is currently experienced by Manchester United. Because of course, even if for example Manchester United qualify for the last 16, in reality Manchester United will fall there. Therefore, I think qualifying for the round of 16 for Manchester United at this moment is not very important and ya, even if for example Manchester United fails to qualify for the round of 16, of course Manchester United will continue to the Europa League. For me it's not bad at all because after all, this is Erik ten Hag second season at Manchester United, but his first season in the Champions League with Manchester United and that's not something bad at all. |

Juventus in their last five matches haven't lost any but had only one draw, somehow it was looking like Juventus isn't in a good form and not looking very promising with the serie A this season but fortunately they are gradually climbing up the table as they are currently at the second position on the table.
I believe with their current position and point, they could probably have a very good chance at the serie A title this season, they only need to be more consistent with some more wins, they have 23 points which is two points away from the leaders of the table Intermilan with 25 points, I think that are the only team that will most likely be a problem to Juventus if they further improve their performance towards this season.
In my view, that Juventus had a good form also in the last season. But because Juventus got punished, then the case made Juventus experience a decline in performance again and again. So that way, then of course this season Juventus can return to their best form but indeed, even though this season Juventus will only focus on Serie A, but Juventus are still not get good result as expected. Because yes, this season Juventus got another case about Pogba and of course, the case can also slightly affect Juventus performance. But for now, at least Juventus managed to be in second place with a 2-point gap with Inter who are at the top of the standings, and Juventus also have a 1-point gap with Milan who are in third place at the moment. |

Munich does have the upper hand or can be said to be better than Dortmund, but you have to remember that Munich should never underestimate your opponent even though they are playing at home. Of course Munich is very much the favorite, I'm sure the meeting between the two will make it very difficult to score goals and win, considering that Dortmund also wants to maintain their position so they don't want to lose points and will play as hard as possible to win or survive.
maybe Bayern Munich will never underestimate Dortmund, its just that Munich will be a little more careful because Dortmund maybe in terms of the attack line is not strong enough and superior to Munich in terms of the attack line, but the only thing that is worrying is that Dortmund has a defense line that is strong enough and this it could prevent Munich from scoring and winning the match but I really hope that Munich will still win. Not sure about Dortmund's defense that you say is strong because after all, from 9 matches so far in the Bundesliga and the reality is that Dortmund have conceded 11 goals. While Bayern Munich have only conceded 7 goals so far in the Bundesliga and also, the fact that Bayern Munich is still a team that has a very high total goal productivity so far in the Bundesliga. With these factors, I personally still believe Bayern Munich will win and don't care about the away match for Bayern Munich in this match. Although yes, I also do not underestimate Dortmund because Dortmund is also a top team in the Bundesliga, but because at this moment Bayern Munich still has a better form, it is at least difficult for Dortmund to beat Bayern Munich in this match. |

The Newcastle team is strong enough. And because of the good understanding between their players, Newcastle's overall performance is very stable. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 6 Premier League matches. Their performance is very good. On the other hand, it would not be wrong to call Manchester United team weak now. Despite having a strong squad, their performance has been very poor. And a Newcastle team with such a poor performance is much harder to beat at the moment. I'd say unless Manchester United are very lucky they can pick up a point in this match. However, I consider Newcastle as the favorite.
Until Ten Hag is ready to improve his managerial skills, the club will hardly win top challenging matches. Every other club has taken up the challenge to work hard and improve themselves over time, I don't see enough efforts from Ten Hag yet. Newcastle is in good shape like you mentioned above so they will put a whole lot of efforts to win this match. The last match both clubs played, Newcastle boys scored over the Manchester united. Yesterday's Manchester derby was not in isolation. Manchester United can do better when they wish to. Yes indeed, at least I also still admit that Newcastle have a better form than Manchester United at this moment. But for some reason, at least I still think Manchester United also has an equally good chance in this match so yes, I can't underestimate Manchester United and can't just verdict a losing result for Manchester United in this match. Although indeed, in the previous match Manchester United also lost at home against Manchester City in the Premier League match. But with such bad results, it is possible that Manchester United will have great ambitions in this home match to avenge the previous defeat. Of course, Manchester United has the ambition to be able to win in this home match, although the opponent it faces is also a difficult team at this moment. |

Nice has been very impressive so far but the only problem with all this average clubs is that at the starting of the season they always makes good impact but as time begins to go on they will start losing form and losing matches consecutively before you know it they will still give up the trophy for those clubs that are always at the forefronts all season.
Now Monaco, PSG and Nice are still quite close in the standings while Ligue1 and the three will probably continue to compete until the middle of this season and after that everyone will see which team is able to stay at the top. Because currently it is still difficult to know who will continue to be consistent in winning matches and the number of points is also quite close for these three teams in Ligue 1, so there is still a lot of time needed to see how they will perform in the next matches. Although later Nice did not experience a losing streak but still, to maintain the top position until the end of the seasons is not easy. So yes, over time Nice will also experience several defeats, although it is not a losing streak but of course Nice position will be taken over of course. After all, because PSG also has a close points gap then of course, Nice position is clearly not completely safe, because PSG will always be ready to take the top position at any time. |
