Hoffenheim - Bayern Munich match has been continuing really competitively. Hoffenheim got ahead first and Bayern Munich scored the equalizer right before the end of the first half. Lewandowski scored another goal but I started thinking that he won't be able to break a new goal record in the Bundesliga this season. The match is still continuing by a 1-1 tie right now. Bayern Munich had a better start to this half and I think they will win this match by finding a way out. I still appreciate Hoffenheim's performance a lot as they are competing very well.

Liverpool are three points behind Manchester City again after the Brighton win by a 2-0 score today. Liverpool made a great effort as always and won the victory nicely. Brighton were already in a bad condition and they didn't cause them to have a big difficulty in this match. Liverpool have started to wait for the Crystal Palace - Manchester City match now. And today's biggest match is of course Manchester United - Tottenham. I can't wait to watch it as I'm expecting a big rivalry between these two teams in Old Trafford. And I have already bet on Tottenham win too. There is a feeling inside me that they will make it.

It looks like a very comfortable match is waiting for Barcelona this weekend. I mean that they are having a match home against Osasuna. And we know that Osasuna are not in a good shape nowadays. They were having a good season some time ago but they started to lose many points for a long time. And they are one of the middle-placed teams currently. Barcelona have improved their performance a lot recently and they are getting better results thanks to this. They would be eager to continue to be the winner again in this match too and they will hopefully.

Bayern Munich are definitely the big favourite to win on this week. Hoffenheim are very dangerous in their attacks but they still don't have a better defense than Bayern Munich. And Bayern Munich are going to need a victory after getting a draw against Leverkusen home. They wouldn't like to take a bigger risk by losing points here too. Maybe Dortmund still don't seem like they are credible but who knows what will happen in the remaining weeks. Bayern Munich should continue with a minimum number of loss of points to secure the title.

Barcelona had only 1 shot on target yesterday - with 67% possession. Overall it was a really boring game to watch - but fair play to Galatasaray who got the result they wanted.
Sevilla destroyed West Ham who can be happy only with a minimal loss. They will hope to have Bowen for the return leg, they look way less dangerous without him.
According to Flashscore, Barcelona got 4 shots on target actually. But of course, it also isn't a good statistics for them. Barcelona searched for a way to score from the beginning of the match until the end of it. But it was all in vain because Galatasaray were very good at defense. Not only their defense but also their goalkeeper Pena was amazing too. Especially one of his saves was impressive. I meant the great free-kick Barcelona took. This can be a hope for Galatasaray maybe. But I remember what Barcelona did to Napoli away after the same scenario too. Let's just see.

I'm also thinking that Juventus won't be losing against Villarreal in Turin. I know that there is still time for this match now. But Juventus are a really solid team in their home matches which is another fact here. I accept that Villarreal are a really tough opponent and we saw it in the first leg too. And I won't be expecting a comfortable match for Juventus either. I expect a really close one in fact but Juventus would still find a way out and defeat their opponent by a goal difference of one in 90 minutes I think.

I was really delighted with the Rockets - Lakers game last night. Rockets managed to win by 139-130 after overtime. The competition was so hard even though Rockets are one of the worst teams of the season. And this loss caused Lakers to be in a little more troubling condition in the regular season. They are really under the danger of staying out of the playoff zone. In this game, Westbrook was one of the most impressive players at Lakers. He had 30 points. And Lebron made a delightful triple-double by 23 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists.

Real Madrid had their best match ever last night. It was maybe the most critical match for them so far and they made an unbelievable comeback here. It is not easy to score three consecutive goals against a team like PSG in a very crucial match like this one. But PSG's simple mistakes also helped Real Madrid do this. But I can't say that Real Madrid played badly of course. They got so many goal chances thanks to Benzema especially. And he made an unforgettable hat-trick here.

I'm seeing Juventus as the biggest favourite for the fourth place in the league compared to Roma, Atalanta and Lazio. They seem to be more consistent than the others I have mentioned. But this could always change too of course. But to catch up with Juventus, the others don't have another choice rather than to keep winning their matches. And none of that trio seems to be very trustworthy lately. Roma have drawn my attention after the Atalanta win but they are still not very consistent these days.
Juventus as potential will finish on 4th standing position place than Atlanta, AS Roma and Lazio but still not forget with Juventus still have chance for scudetto depending result achieve by Napoli, Inter and AC Milan although looks as little difficult behind 7 points from AC Milan. Left 10 match I se Juventus only against with bigger team Inter Milan and looks have good chance could break out to top standing position still waiting for AC Milan, Inter and Napoli stuck on two or three match. Actually I see AC Milan as favorite for scudetto because 10 match left they have face with mediocre team only and not any bigger team have to fight but looking when held by Salernitana looks not believe AC Milan have potential keep winning left 10 match later. Of course, I know that Juventus are keeping their chance for the league title too. The gap is seven points with the current leader and there are still many weeks to go. It is not impossible for Juventus to make it mathematically. But from my point of view, they have the least probability to reach the title this season. Juventus are still not at the level we all would like to see. They are still away from their performance in their seasons which they became the champions by dominating.

There are some missing matches to be played tomorrow. And Norwich - Chelsea seems to be one of them. Actually there is not much to talk about this match. Chelsea are going to be very close to the victory in this match. Norwich are the worst team in the league now as they are at the last place. And their form lately has been horrible too. Chelsea on the other hand are doing good lately and they are on a winning streak of three matches. They would like to consolidate their place by destroying Norwich here.

Nets are in a really interesting condition now. They are still under the threat of being out of the playoff area in the standings. And as the end of the regular season is closing in, they need to do something to improve their performance and start a solid form to get better again. And they can still finish the regular season in top six for not playing an extra playoff round later on. But to do all of this, Nets must start a lasting winning streak like for many weeks. They still lost too many games lately and this is dragging them down.

I think that Bayern Munich and Liverpool are already one of the qualifiers for the quarter finals now. I remember that Bayern Munich had a really big difficulty in getting a draw against Salzburg in the first leg. But this shouldn't be misleading at the same time. Because there is a huge power difference between these teams. And in Allianz Arena, I'm sure that Bayern Munich will prove my words right. And Liverpool already sealed the deal in Giuseppe Meazza by 2-0. There is no way they are losing in Anfield.
Liverpool are qualifiers already but that of Bayern Munich can't be certain, as for Liverpool's their form currently are top notch and they also have the goal difference advantage and a good record at Anfield so it's unlikely for them to lose. While Bayern Munich are superior to Salzburg but still lets not forget too soon that they almost lost their first game against Bayern until they equalized at the last minute of the game. What is been played here is football and there's no assurance of one team defeating the other not minding their playing power. Bayern Munich need to come into this game like the losing side and fight from the very first minutes to get as many goals as possible and they should be early to kill what ever motivation Salzburg has coming into the games. Anything that make the first half to end draw or goalless then Bayern Munich has a problem. Yeah, it is football and everything can happen any time. But I just approached to the situation from a different aspect. I think that Bayern Munich wanted to play safe and that's why they struggled to get a decent result. Salzburg could even beaten them by 2-0 if Adamu didn't miss literally an absolute goal chance. I really don't have any idea why Bayern Munich chose to play like that. But in the rematch, I'm expecting to see a completely different team. Normally Salzburg are no match for them and I believe that they will prove me right here.

Betis have been doing quite bad for two weeks in the La Liga. Actually their performance against Atletico Madrid wasn't bad. They got more than two times the number of Atletico Madrid's shot attempts. But they scored only one goal out of these attempts. Atletico Madrid had a very productive day and won the match by 3-1 too. Joao Felix was the most impressive player by scoring two goals. Atletico Madrid have been really well for some weeks and they have increased their winning streak to three matches by defeating their tough opponent.

I am very pleased with betting on Milan against Napoli yesterday. It was a risky bet I must admit. But there was just a feeling in me that they were going to win and I tried my luck that's all. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Milan had a really big problem on defeating Napoli in this away match. Napoli were not bad actually. They played decently in both halves and found important chances too. But Milan were really good at defending them. And they got the prize of their effort. Currently, Milan have taken the lead back and the superb rivalry is going on.

Manchester City had a really great match against Manchester United yesterday. Like most people, I also found the first half very impressive and competitive. Manchester United managed to keep up with their opponent and performed very well. After a 2-1 ending, I hoped a similar half again. But Manchester City completely dominated the other half and destroyed them by 4-1. Manchester United magically couldn't even have any shot attempt. It was a really poor performance there. And even if Ronaldo was able to play, I think they would have still lost this match.

I assume that most of the people will prefer to watch the Bayern Munich - Bayer Leverkusen match in the Bundesliga today. Whatever the result will be, I'm confident about one thing that we will watch a delightful and high-scoring match. Both of these teams are very capable of scoring more than one goal in a match. Because of this, my priority will be betting on both teams to score. And I might bet on a Bayern Munich win by a one goal difference too. But I would bet a small amount of money on the latter as it is harder to happen.
Same here, both to score on all my tickets and on some even better paying both to score and over 2.5. Should be a game full of goals and I hope Bayer will have enough power to upset favored Bayern and take all three points. It is sort of boring always watching Bavarians take the title way before league ends. Our bets on both teams to score won easily already in the first half. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) But my other choice didn't happen unfortunately as the match ended up with a 1-1 draw. Bayern Munich attacked so many times in the second half but no juice. I really appreciated Leverkusen as they resisted very well. Bayern Munich are still giving many opportunities to Dortmund to catch up with them. But Dortmund have wasted these very generously so far. Maybe they will defeat Mainz but I don't believe they can take the lead later on.

Real Madrid are one step closer to the league title now. Because Sevilla lost points against Alaves unexpectedly and Real Madrid demolished Real Sociedad at the same time. The point interval is eight now and Real Madrid are getting closer to a happy ending. And there are literally no team better than them in this season. Barcelona have newly started to perform like their old version with Messi. But they have no chance left for the championship either. They will just focus on next season.

Most people are waiting for the huge match between Manchester City and Manchester United in Etihad. And obviously, Manchester City are very close to winning this match. Manchester United are clearly not a team that are even close to their level now. In fact, Manchester United have very great players in terms of scoring and this team must be able to fight for the championship normally. But here we are and they are a desperate team that can't even beat Watford in Old Trafford. Considering that, Manchester City wouldn't have big trouble here.
You got me laughing here ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) But that is as bad as Manchester United used to be, but when it comes to Manchester Derby, they will play it with all their might. Manchester United does not need to take that match lightly. In as much as Manchester City is fighting to win the league, I believe Manchester United has a greater fight to secure their top 4 space. So, if it is in the heart of the fans and the coach, Manchester United will win the match. But the players think and play different thing from what was agreed. Derby matches are always special maybe but I still don't have big expectations from Manchester United. I wish they were better this season but they aren't. And I remember their performance against Chelsea too that they were nearly winning that match even though they were still bad those times. But Manchester City are not like Chelsea. They make mistakes very rarely and it was against Tottenham. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) They would definitely focus on not to do that again in this match. Because the title chance is on the line and Liverpool can even equalize the points with them depending on the result of the Manchester derby.

Juventus are going to play a home match today which is against Spezia. The opponent is really weak and Spezia are having a bad time period these days also. Juventus are facing many injuries now but they have still the majority of their important players. They have Vlahovic above all else. And they have a chance to catch up with top three teams also as there is a Napoli - Milan match also today. I think Juventus will absolutely win this match one way or another. They must do so if they really want to keep their hopes alive for maybe even the title.
