Playing against a team like PSG can't be easy for any team and now we are going to have Newcastle playing against PSG while Newcastle needs to win the game and take the full three points from this match because in the four games Newcastle had so far in the group F, they got only four points which means one point per match and this is not good at all.
But Enrique knows they should not lose points in this match especially since they are playing at home in Parc des Princes.
PSG will have an advantage because they will play at home. No team will easily beat them at home, specifically when they really want to win the match to secure their position for the next round. I'm very sure PSG will play all out, they won't let their opponent to steal points. Against Newcastle, I believe PSG squad is ready to show their best. PSG also has no serious problem about the injured players. Meanwhile Newcastle has a very serious problem about it, there are too many main players injured now. It must bring bit impacts on the performance of Newcastle. So, I think it is very small chance for Newcastle to steal points.


Newcastle unarguably produced their best performance of the season when they comfortably thrashed Paris Saint Germaine in their first leg meeting of the season but that I don't think is gonna happen again when they visit the French champions after the international break.
Paris Saint Germaine will be playing the game at home and would definitely want to prove a point to everyone that Newcastle's win in their first meeting of the season was just a lucky day for the Magpies and not because Newcastle are better than they are. It's gonna be a tough game but I expect PSG to win the game.

Winning Parisians was the shocker but it wasn't about how far they can go but how well. They'll be knocked out alongside Ac Milan, these are the two clubs in that I feel like do not deserve progressing. AC Milan should not even qualify for the Europa League Competition, they'll be sent back to thrive in the Seria A once again.

PSG would defeat Newcastle at home comfortably. The first leg wasn't a lucky one, they earned it but I'd want to see that once again, it can't happen because they've dropped drive and momentum.
I've been expecting a double win at home for the current League 1 defending Champions in the next two games they'll play at home.

Sevilla still maintain this horrible form in the La Liga. They can't win a game for 6 weeks and the last 5 ones ended up with a draw. At least they could have been better in the Champions League but there is no much hope there either. It is even doubtful they would continue on their way with the Europa League.

If they go on like this they might part ways with Diego Alonso at the end of the season at worst as well. They are already accustomed to changing managers very often in the end. It wouldn't be any surprise to see as a result.

Embarrassing, this have been tough times for Sevilla, I would say signing Sergio Ramos would improve them defense but it didn't, I will day signing a new coach would bring some updates and improvements and consistency but still he couldn't.
Sevilla now remain at the thirteenth position on the La Liga standing. Which is similar to what we saw last season.  The only impressive game they've played was to draw points with Real Madrid.

They may be back in the Europa League or out forever this season, do you also think that they shouldn't have sacked the coach that won them the Europa League Competition? He had a poor performance though, I feel like the club made a good decision. Yet, they'll need to looking at pressing matters more right now!

It cannot be denied that Manchester City is a team that will continue its dominance because of its financial strength and the ability of its coach. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea will certainly struggle to stop this dominance, but Manchester United doesn't seem to have the ability to do so. Manchester City may fail to defend their title, but we have got proof that they can dominate so far.
Manchester City may loose their next game because they may likely be without their goal scoring machine Haaland and Rodri who have ankle injury and did not play for Spain against Cyprus because of what was described as a 'discomfort". Liverpool is not a team that they will want to be without Rodri especially and then Haaland, because their performance will be greatly affected. If Liverpool win the game and move to first place, it will be difficult for any team to take that first place back from them, including Manchester City.

https://talksport.com/football/1644946/man-city-erling-haaland-rodri-injuries-liverpool/

Manchester City is a club with lots of depth amongst and within the squad. They might lose important players to the international break but they still have capacity built-in.
With these names you've called absent, It's time for others who've never had his chance to replace and impress Pep Guardiola who still lead's at the top

Julian Alvarez can make up for the exit of Erling Haaland due to his Injury. Kovacic can also replace Rodri who have been a solid rock for Manchester City!

Richarlison is a great player that Ange Postecoglou can rely on to give his best contribution even though the bad news that is currently haunting Tottenham but I think Ange Postecoglou will never let go before getting a new player who can replace his position and has equal talent and it is possible that the Arab club will have to be patient to get Richarlison.


Richarlison is not a great player. He is type of a player who terrorizing opponents' defense while waiting chances to finish, but his movements are not quite effective for how Spurs play right now. His overall contributions to the team are so low that makes Spurs attacks are so predictable when he is on the pitch. but still he is the only choice for Ange Postecoglou right now.

Ange Postecoglou has a very good plan since he came to the club, but Tottenham's situation at the moment is so bad. Ange Postecoglou can't execute his plan properly because of injuries while he does not have a proper squad depth. 

I love this. I agree with everything you have said about Richardlison, he is a nothing but a random player for Tottenham Hotspur right now, he adds nothing to the squad maybe if he leaves for another league he'll do better.
Leaving Everton was the right decision for him but ever since he left for Tottenham Hotspur he has underperformed.
Right now smhe is also out Injured and won't be with the team until it's the new year.

With players Injured and shit, will Daniel Levey want to invest in new players? Ange Postecoglou has done greatly but he will need improvements to ensure that Tottenham Hotspur qualifies for the Champions League next season.

Personally, I consider Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid as favourites for the La Liga title. However, I would put Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid slightly ahead of Barcelona. The squads of these two teams are quite strong this season and their performances are also regular.
I'm of the same opinion with yours, Barcelona in their most recent form doesn't look like they would be able to make it to the top of the table soonest lest alone becoming the champions this season, they were much better earlier but since after the match against Real Madrid they seem to have dropped in their performance.

Real Madrid have continually showed some kind of consistency which has been maintained till this point that they are now no the top of the table and even looking very promising with the league title this season, they also have similar performance at the champions league and may want to contend to win the UCL aswell, Athletico Madrid is aswell do good with their performance and currently look better when compared to Barcelona.

You are right, Barcelona's recent performances have not been very consistent. The team relies on Lewandowski to score. But Lewandowski's performance is now erratic. This is why Barcelona lost points in several matches. Barcelona's overall performance needs to be more stable if they want to win the title. If not, the Barcelona team will fall further behind in the competition with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Girona.

Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham has been performing brilliantly in every match. This is why Real Madrid's attack is a bit weak, but the team's performance is very consistent. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid have a lot of talented players in the forward. So Atletico Madrid is also able to continue to perform well and consistently.
One issue I have with Barcelona as a team is the fact that they do not have a consistent striker. As right said, Lewandowsky has been a bit erratic with his performance and I may owe it to the fact that he returned from an injury spell to a team that had Joax Felix performing better than before.
Its just a striker problem and I don't still think Xavi has a perfect option yet.
Real Madrid will be looking to sign a striker as soon as the transfer windows open because Bellingham can't just do it alone, despite the good performance of the team so far.

They haven't found enough balance in the team, they haven't linked well with the midfielder's and attackers, Frankie De Jong absence have affected them alot, he's been the perfect man for the defensive midfielder role even if he's not more of the aggressive player. He brings balance and that quality improves the game of Gavi and IIkay Gundogan in midfied ahead of him.
If that's solve, the midfielder's will link up correctly with Robert Lewandoski and he'll begin scoring goals for Barcelona.

Xavi Hernandez also has to address his winger's, they're becoming more of a selfish team that the tiki taka system we know Barcelona plays. Those winger's should learn to create goal chances for Robert Lewandoski. Even if he just returned from Injury, I won't blame him, he's always been a top quality player.

I don’t think Ten Hag will be worried about losing his job at this time in the season. Results are turning in their favor whether we think it’s impressive or not. The champions league may be the deal breaker, it will be really bad if they are knocked out of every competition. That will be a red flag for ETH to leave. Jim Ratcliffe will be looking to make some changes to the club, he has already told Ten Hag to sort his issues with Sancho. It’s left to Ten Hag to bury the hatchet with Sancho and do his best to assure the new owner of his ability to deliver

Are you saying, Jadon Sancho wouldn't be leaving the club anytime soon? I'd love that though, he was the llone goal scorer that scored in the game that sparked Manchester United form against Liverpool last season. Honestly, a story has both sides but the media has chose to back the manager over the player. Erik Ten Hag though have been very sentimental with his selections and decisions, I still ponder and  wonder how many nights he's had enough sleep since Manchester United chaos started. Someone interview and ask if he's having enough sleep.

I can't say for the Champions League, Manchester United qualifies or not, they shouldn't fail to do that in the Premier League top four. I want to see them back at the top of the league table before December comes to an end.

Good GOD! The weekend boring ASF without the Premier League games.... International breaks be breaking the important players. Shit!!

PSG have been given @1.49 odds for the win against Monaco in Parc des Princes. I understand the thinking of bookmakers but I don't know. It still feels like this is lower than it should be. Because we are talking about an unbalanced team this season. But looking at the Ligue 1 table I can also see that impressive winning streak on one hand.

This is the main reason of these odds though. But Monaco have been a pain for PSG in their last three head-to-head games. They couldn't beat them in any of them. I wonder if we would see PSG breaking this cycle by a win this time.

This game will be interesting and tough but then, how important is this game for Paris Saint Germany? Yes they have to win to maintain the top. Best prediction for the match will be to score two goals in the game. Monaco are also stubborn club at home or away they have given PSG a tough time since 2020!
Parisians will not want to lose them best players in this game to Injury, they have a more challenging test that though I'm sure they'll win against Newcastle at home. The way they'll play when facing Monaco will be reflected when they play Newcastle also on Tuesday night.
Newcastle also should lose both games, they will against Chelsea and then PSG!

Anyone who watched the second leg game between Copenhagen and Manchester United last week will definitely not want to underestimate the strength of the Copenhagen team. The resilience spirit of the is like that of team who's desperately trying to make it out of the group and knowing fully well that a win against Galatasaray in their next game can be enough to see them make it to the knockout stages of the competition, I think they'll even show more strength in that very game. In the first game they played against Galatasaray this season at the home of the Turkish champions, Copenhagen got a 2:2 draw and with the support of their home fans, they can take all three points in the game against Galatasaray.

During the first half of the group stage, if you watched the game they played first, Copenhagen schooled Manchester United how to play as they dominated them in the midfied. ( The team that dominates the midfield controls and would most likely win the match )
Manchester United gave thanks to both Harry Maguire and Andrea Onana who decided how that game ended for them.

Copenhagen in the second leg also did awesome, they shouldn't have won the game if Erik Ten Hag had changed the game to more of a defensive formation. Anyways they did better than Manchester United that's why they took three points home.
Against Bayern Munich, they was a pain in the neck for the reigning Bundesliga Champions who found life difficult in the first half.
I watched that second leg game between Copenhagen and Manchester United and I can attest to the fact that the team is very strong one that plays with so much determination and resilience. In their first game of the group stage, they drew against a Galatasaray team that defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford and that goes a long way to explain how strong the Copenhagen team is and can be.
They're currently above Manchester United and have the same number of points with Galatasaray and I think they stand a good chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition

If Copenhagen had a better chance of qualification, then so be it, they've worked for it, they deserve it and they'll definitely earn it. Props to them in advance if they do, I don't go bout hoping and wishing for the downfall of another club, I just be hoping for the betterment of Manchester United but shit seems to be pretty tough for the Red devil's.
You right about the second leg of the game, they played better and deserves the three points. They've beaten Manchester United also a long time ago, only for Manchester United to beat them back with Robin Van Persie scoring three good goals.

Manchester United is filled with injured players. Goalkeeper Andre Onana was added to the general list. While playing for the Cameroon national team in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the goalkeeper was injured. Thus, he was added to the club’s list of injured: Hoylund, Eriksen, Evans, Martinez.

Truthfully, shit sucks, but no need for much lamentations, it's time for the yongin or Tom Heaton to take his place and showcase his talents for the club.

Arteta has been targeting philips as his replacement. Arsenal was also ready to competing for his signature. Party is not useful anymore to the club. Arteta has been also confirming him if partey can leave anytime from the club if he wants.
Juventus is seriously starting to approach him to join in the serie a. Juventus may have special consideration to recruit partey from the club. There's nothing wrong for the old lady to recruit him.
Partey was not that bad in arsenal even though he lacks of time to play in the main squad.


Kalvin Philips to Arsenal would be a great idea even if I never thought of that until I read this post. Since he will be allowed to leave during the transfer window, Arsenals approaching makes sense to me.
Thomas Partey is now finished, he should make sure he ends up with one of the Saudi Arabian Clubs and not move to Italian Seria A which is too difficult. if he is too stubborn and leaves, he may likely get Injured more than he did during his time in the Premier League.

I know Juventus had one of them midfielder's suspended due to gambling and stuff, but why would the Old Ladies want to sign a player that is Injury prone? Hoe many games in the season can he play for them?
It should be reconsidered. This is nothing but unwise decision if it happens.
2330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 18, 2023, 02:39:13 PM
Preciate it. Juventus some years back with Allegri have always been this way, they barely score more than three good goals in a game, this happened before then take over of Antonio Conte.
This season they have defended well but have found it difficult to score, both Moise Kean and Dusan Vlahovic ain't having a great season and same goes with Weah Junior.
Who should be blamed for it? The coach, failure of the midfielder's to link up with the attackers or lack of creativity? There'll definitely be difficulty when they eventually face a side that defends better than em.

Dusan has also been linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea, I don't know if that would be happening this upcoming transfer window!

Indeed Vlahovic has been linked with such teams. Actually the links with Arsenal have existed for a long time so far. But I don't know if Arsenal have plans to sign another striker at the moment. Gabriel Jesus has newly got injured and he isn't expected to be back until late November. However after that Arsenal should still be good to go.

Because I think Arteta is contented with the contribution from their forward players now. Especially Nketiah has scored more goals than I would imagine. I don't know whether Arsenal would like to spend a lot of money to sign Vlahovic in January now.

I feel like they'll make moves for the English and Brentford player Ivan Toney who have not featured for the club this year. He will be a good addition to the squad since Gabriel Jesus haven't been consistent due to injuries. Having no Odegaard in the squad will lead to low goals, they'll need all the qualities in attack to give them more goals.

Nketiah has scored more goals than Saka this season, he's scored five while Saka has scored four in the Premier League. I still don't rate him so highly because you barely see him performing against big clubs.
Ivan Toney and Wolverampton winger Neto are the signatures I want to see Arsenal get. These are just fantasies though.
2331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 18, 2023, 02:16:35 PM
Real Madrid are two points ahead of Barcelona, but they are not top of the table, as Girona is also two points ahead of them.
 At this stage, it is not worth saying that Real is significantly superior to Barcelona, because the teams are close and Barcelona can bypass Real in any round. But I agree that Real looks better on the field now, but as far as we are concerned, this is still not enough to translate this into results.

You may not believe it, but the total value of Girona's squad, the team leading La Liga, is just over 160 million euros, which is equal to the amount of money Real Madrid spent to buy the duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. Girona is becoming a phenomenon in La Liga this season, surpassing Real Madrid and Barca to take the top spot. What an extraordinary thing. Why do they do such miracles? In my opinion, Girona's ability to win La Liga is still low. But their chance of reaching the top 4 means they will qualify for the Champions League next season, and the crazy scenario of them winning the championship could also happen.

Real Madrid and Barca's performance is still quite similar. On Barca's side, their poor performance is due to their recent injury to Lewandowski. They will fix this situation soon.

I don't know how I came about a tweet saying Pep Guardiola has a close bond with the manager of Girona and how he educates him about tactics and positional plays. The knowledge and experience shared have been used to improve Girona. This is not a new thing have a squad with such valuation. It was similar situation with Leicester City, I'm not fazed with Girona's performance because I saw same happenings with Leicester City.

It's still a long way until the end of the season though, Girona if not focused would slip down from the top, if focused, they can achieve a draw from all the big boys and continue winning same clubs below top ten which they have a good stats against this season.

I actually highly doubt that Manchester United is going to find themselves at the top of the table towards the end of the season. I genuinely doubt that because the coach has definitely tried a lot to bring in good results. He has tried different tactics, but nothing seems to actually work. And at this point, if Manchester United fans actually do not understand that the coach is just not as good as they are thinking, I have to say it is Copium. They need to change the current coach that they have. But for some reason, it feels like they are just too dumb to accept the fact. Of course, there are always going to be problems in the squad. But that does not mean their results are going to be that bad.
Some of the fans are concluding based on emotions, which is very wrong because emotions can never lead you to say the truth. But truth be told, Manchester United is too big for Ten Hag, which is why he is not able to put things in place to bring the best result for Manchester United; some fans were able to understand, while others are still arguing blindly that he is a good coach that will bring victory back to Old Trafford.

Ten Hag actually tried last season to win a trophy for United, but his thinking ability as a coach is not world-class thinking because, from his way of substitution, he is not proving himself as world-class coach due to some errors he does make, which he usually refers to as tactics whenever he is doing his post-match conference. Manchester United need to sack Ten Hag for them to become the world-class team they used to be.

If you feel like Manchester United is too big for Erik Ten Hag to handle, then eh mate,  take your CV and go do a better job than he's currently doing. I can't even wrap my head around a manager that would do a good job right now. ( Not Zizou, Maybe Hansi Flick would be peng )

He is the number one manager for Manchester United to have more wins in his first fifty games. You should also go check about Sir Alex Ferguson, he was pressured in the same way during his early coaching days for Manchester United.
Just so you know, Sir Alex Ferguson and the board members of Manchester United are fully backing Erik Ten Hag for the job. The results he had last season displayed if he has the right tools he'll use them well.

The former Serie A champions are reportedly keen on pursuing a loan move for Partey when the transfer window opens in January, according to Foot Mercato.The midfielder has been plagued with multiple injuries in the ongoing campaign and has managed to clock just 341 minutes on the pitch for the Gunners. His last appearance for the club was on October 8 against Manchester City where he came off the bench and played for just 15 minutes.

I do support him to leave from arsenal since partey was not that importnat for the club. Moving to the juventus will be a correct decision from him at this moment. It's caused by he will get a regular time to play in juventus.
It will be so bad to have him for missing a chance to play in the juventus as a regular starter. Juventus really need his service to make sure it can compete with intermilan. The match against intermilan will come soon.
Juventus needs also to strengthen its club caused by it will be competing with intermilan for the title race.

Arsenal is giving green light for him to leave from there as long as partey will be also agreed with juventus to join in the club. Partey may be interesting caused by he has not been chosen as a starting line up.
Partey needs also to consider this option. Juventus is not that bad for him.

I won't say that about Thomas Partey. He's been a core member of the gunner's last season before his Injury his absence was amongst the limitations they had towards winning the Premier League last season.
Thomas Partey should have even left earlier than expected, earlier this season but he was talked down about his early move elsewhere.

Juventus will need to strengthening of the club there's no lying, but it's too early to say he will play the game between Juventus vs Inter Milan... Both Paul Pogba and some other player have been suspended they'll need a better and consistent player. Thomas Partey is more of a finished player due to his Injuries.
2335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 18, 2023, 08:35:55 AM
I personally wouldn't make it too complicated to predict this big match. Because the important points have actually been obtained to predict this match.

 - As the first positive point, for Juventus who are the hosts.
 - And the second positive point shows the Juventus vs Inter Milan head to head which shows more superiority for Juventus in every meeting in Serie A.
 - And the third positive point is that Juventus should be able to focus more on just that match. Meanwhile, Inter Milan also has to think about the Champions League match.

I would very confidently bet on Juventus in that match. But one thing that must also be considered is that currently Juventus has an attack level that is not good enough when compared to the attack that Inter Milan usually builds.

At home and as the host of the game, they'll definitely want not win, get the fans impressed and show they've got the league in control.
I can agree with your first point there.

I can also agree with the head to head, Inter Milan has also won lesser games when it comes to meeting the old ladies. Also, the manager in charge has won more enough games against Inter Milan.

I won't put much emphasis on this game, Inter Milan will be very dangerous, they'll play this gane like it's the last game to see them winning the league tittle. I said so because, they've qualified for the round of sixteen already. Both Real Sociedad and Inter Milan shares same point. They'll be playing Benfica who have zero points in that Group D!

Recently, there have been many rumors suggesting that Manchester might let Casemiro go in the upcoming winter transfer window due to his significant decline in form and a serious injury that will keep him sidelined until the end of the year. However, everything has been clarified as Casemiro has no intention of leaving Manchester in the coming winter. He still wants to maintain his peak career in Europe.

Casemiro's class is beyond dispute. In his first season with Manchester, he brought a completely different dimension to the midfield, providing solidity and making significant contributions that helped MU secure the Carabao Cup and reach the top 4 in the Premier League. MU fans still have high expectations for him, hoping that Casemiro will quickly regain his form as before.
I see Casemiro's role in Manchester United's midfield as very sacred and he is quite influential, but because the Manchester United team is in very poor performance, it is difficult for Casemiro to show his best performance.
In his first season, Casemiro has proven that he is quite a successful purchase, but currently his performance is declining due to injuries, but I don't really blame Casemiro because this is clearly the team's downturn which has an impact on him.
If Manchester United plans to let him go, I think this would be a very bad move.

And with Casemiro not being young anymore, I don't think he will return to Real Madrid again.

I don't see Manchester United letting him go so quick this season, they'll have to keep him around and make sure hee pass some of his experience and knowledge of the midfied to whoever is brought in to replace him.
He's decline this season has come to a surprise to me, I had to pay attention closely before I could notice some of his flaws. Could be that I put so much of my attention on Marcus Rashford and the attackers.

Manchester United are currently scouting a young midfielder from Portuguese league. I didn't pay close attention but I know with Jim Radcliffe take over of the 25% he'll want to see some players leaving who do not fit into Erik Ten Hag's plans.

The match against Wolves was quite ambiguous for Spurs. Tottenham played well from the start, but the created chances were minimal. The finishing touches always ended poorly, and the opportunities created were not plentiful despite Spurs' dominance.

The red card effect from the Chelsea match seems to still weaken the Spurs defense. Two main defenders, Romero and Udogie, couldn't play in the match against Wolves, and their best playmaker, James Maddison, was also injured.
Yeah Tottenham Hotspur performance was quite good on there match against Wolves because they dominated the game from first half to second half but what they fail to do is creating scoring opportunities, but however there strikers are not good enough because they seem to have been very weak in performance unlike early this season when they were playing very well.

However I don't know why but since there match against Chelsea everything about them has changed including performance because they are finding it difficult to perform well on there matches now.

I don't even understand what you're saying. For if you saw the game against Chelsea you'll know a couple of things why them game mentality dropped drastically. I also expect same results in the next two game they'll be playing in the Premier League.
They had chances to make that game two goals and three goals but they snoozed you know. You didn't see that game then! They don't have a good backup, now if son's Injured, I don't know how they want to attack. I was excited for Wolverampton, they tookgood use of the opportunity they had.

They lost players. Madison and one other pacy fullback got Injured. Also tow of them best defending players got Injured. Most importantly, I love how Tottenham Hotspur pressure high in every game.

I'm really surprised with Leverkusen club this season. The team that will compete with Bayern Munich should be Dortmund. But Dortmund shows weakness when they let Stuttgart rise above the Bundesliga rankings.
We must mention coach Xabi Alonso for the success of Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso has joined the list of top European coaches after helping Bayer Leverkusen top the rankings. With those clear marks, Alonso is in the sights of many big teams, including Real Madrid. In addition to being number one in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is leading Group H of the Europa League with 4 wins after 4 matches, while in the German Cup, they have passed the first 2 rounds. Xabi Alonso and his team will end Bayern Munich's 11-year Bundesliga championship streak, making the tournament more competitive.

I watched a couple of them game last season immediately he was appointed as head coach but they couldn't grab a trophy. So far they've impressed when I think they won't, at most the Europa League Competition.
They've not just had good performance there but also during the domestic league games.
He's  top young coach, touring round the best clubs in Europe, now it's time to share his wisdom and knowledge of the game to other younger players in the game. For them to be this consistent, then they have done well, they've just had a single draw.

 More challenging test would come up next month that would determine if they could go half of the season at the top completely. Winning the Europa League is something I doubt, there are some big clubs dropping out from the Champions League that would cause them lots of problems.

Ferran Torres does not get much time at Barcelona because he may often experience injuries so he loses competition with players, therefore Xavi can only back up Ferran Torres and will play when needed, obviously Ferran Torres is still young he can even develop again.

It is still unclear how much the offer is from Newcastle whether this is a loan or not, because in fact Newcastle is being hit by several problems in the squad, many players are injured so they need attackers at this time, but I don't know if there are other options besides Ferran Torres?
It makes sense that Ferran Torres is targeted by Newcastle, after the sanctioned absence of Tonali, Newcastle needs talented young players and in this case Eddie Howe really knows what the club needs to maintain its dominance in the Premier League. Ferran Torres must be able to take this offer even as a loan because at Barcelona it will be difficult for him to get that position all the time. There's no harm in trying the most prestigious competitions to broaden your experience.

Ferran Torres and Tonali are totally two different lads and they don't play same role. Tonali absence means Newcastle will get a younger midfielder to replace him and for Ferran, its related to the Injury case of  Alexander Isak. Newcastle will have to consider how long he'll be out with the squad before they can make investment for Ferran Torres. How quick will  Ferran Torres adapt? Oh! I totally forgot, he's been a one time Manchester City player.

And you know how Barcelona are struggling with attacking and goal scoring, they'll have to be sure of a replacement before they let him go. Timo Werner can do some of that as a backup player for Robert Lewandoski. He has been rumoured to be leaving Liepzig soon.

Ahead of the match against Juventus, Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta said the Derby d'Italia match would be very interesting.

Yes, of course this is a prestigious match for both teams, because this match will determine who will be at the top of the standings.
Both teams seem to have shown their best game in the last 5 matches.

But I will bet on Inter Milan winning.  Cool
Inter are favorites in that, but somehow I feel it's very unfair that Juventus have such a low probability of winning at home. This match will bring high tension so that everything can change and never match predictions and analysis. A draw is not completely negligible, even if Inter has a high probability of winning. Then from that, Juventus also has the opportunity to win at home because of its good performance this season instead of just Inter.

In other matches, Milan vs Fiorentina should also be in the spotlight. Milan have lost a lot of points in the last 4 matches and they are expected to be able to stop this bad trend in the next home match. Fiorentina are not in their best condition either, but Milan should realize that their current top 4 position will be under threat if they lose.

While we know both teams are in a good situation but I think the chance for Juventus to beat Inter Milan is higher and the rates are not bad at all for betting on Juventus for this match because we know Juventus won all the last five games they recently had and Inter Milan had a draw, also since Juventus got 29 points and Inter Milan got 31 so far, Juventus can have a high chance to decrease the gap between themselves and Inter Milan in this game.



I also have seen it same way, despite the high odds for Juventus, they don't decide how a game ends. I'm definitely sure that this is a great opportunity to see Juventus close down the points. Inter Milan are also doing well but with Allegri and his experience, they'll maneuver and win this game. The least expectations I'm sensing that'll result from this game would be a draw. But that seem to be dropping also, the win is definitely on a side it won't end as a draw.

The next one at risk is Pioli.

If he ends up not qualifying for the final stage of the Champions League and at -10 in Seria A, he could leave before Chrismas.

I've been singing this out loud like a song for them last days, Pioli is Innit a hot soup he's lost too much game and his job is under pressure.
We're already heading closer to the end of the month November. A lose to Borrussia Dortmund would settle this all. He screwed the last Champions League and this in the group stage.
