Week 15 of the Bundesliga will open with the match Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have a chance to recover from their defeat last week but despite have a better chance of winning today's match, they must not let their guard down because Monchengladbach are not that will be easily beat even though Monchengladbach have suffered consecutive defeats in several matches.
You never know how a match having M'Gladbach in it will end  Dortmund are playing away and willing to win after their bad defeat vs Wolfsburg in the previous round, bookies are supporting them to win also. M'Gladbach lost vs Bochum in the previous round and won only one game from the last 5 matches. Everything say that Dortmund is favourite here. In this round I am particularly curious about how many goals Schalke will receive from Bayern and how the match between Freiburg and Union will end. |

People will be surprised by this World Cup. The smaller squad will catch the larger team off guard. I've made the decision to hold off on making any predictions until after the first and second group stage legs. I'll be rooting for France, the reigning champion, as well as Portugal, who I think will win the title. Currently, this is my favorite team. I'll be backing the entire African team as well. I'm anticipating a fantastic World Cup. Well if European teams perform in World Cup the way they did in Nations League then it will be a drama for them there. I find the overall performance and skills for European teams lower than the past. Conmebol teams have the same skills even though the quality of their players is different. African teams can go to the next stage but not further. Senegal and Ghana could pass imo since their groups are somehow easier comparing to the others. Morocco might get a chance although it looks a bit harder. |

In fact Cadiz are not a very strong team to make Real Madrid lose in yesterday's match, and Real Madrid's victory in that match is something that is easy to predict. Based on what I saw, Real Madrid really dominated the match even though the strikers didn't score but the 2 goals from Militao and Kross were enough to make a good ending for Madrid.
Now that Barcelona & Real Madrid are 2 points apart in the standings, it won't be much to get them to compete. The number of goals for both teams is 33, but Barcelona has several other statistics ahead of Real Madrid.
Barcelona best stats are their low received goals. Getting 5 goals after 14 rounds is quite interesting. Just to make it more interesting, 3 goals was scored by Real Madrid so Barcelona received goals in only 3 games from 14! The closest team is Villarreal receiving 10 goals then 12 for Betis then come the others with +14 goals. Since the international break started, Real Madrid ended up in the second place but 2 goals difference is nothing. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are separated from the others by +9 goals. Comparing to the previous season, Bilbao advanced, ATM and Villarreal lost positions and Sevilla cannot be seen anywhere up there.. |

Lyon V Nice
The match between Lyon and Nice will take place shortly after. I think this match will be enjoyable. The two renowned teams of Ligue 1 are Lyon and Nice. And this season the point difference between these two teams is only 1. The head-to-head matches between these two teams have been very competitive. And I think today's match will also be competitive. However, if we compare the recent performance of these two teams, the Nice team will be ahead. Because after the defeat against PSG, Nice is unbeaten in the last 5 matches. Nice can get points against Lyon today if they can continue the consistency of the previous match.
Pretty two unstable teams facing each others. Lyon has the home advantage otherwise as said, Nice is unbeaten for a while. Their previous stats are divided but bookies are supporting Lyon to win this game. The odds are even quite big, Lyon around 1.7 and Nice around 4.9 which is quite weird imo. |

They have probably put the title out of their minds for the time being, but a club like Juventus must always reach at least Champions League football.
Well this season is heated and getting Champions League spot will be hard with teams like Milan, Inter, Lazio and even Atalanta and Roma without counting Napoli! 4th place for Juve now but looks it might rapidly change |

Looks like ManU got its revenge from Aston Villa days after their defeat against them in EPL. Today they won 4-2 which made it a good one.
The most surprising results these days remain imo Arsenal defeat by Brighton then Spurs failure vs Nottingham and West Ham 10 penalties defeat against Blackburn...

Leverkusen and Xavi Alonso needs those 3 points today against Koln and so far the game is not looking promising for them at all even if we are only 25 minutes into the game. More than this , Koln are in a bad situation as well and they needs points today as well but Alonso might be in trouble if we won't snatch at least 1 point from Koln. Frankfurt - Hoffenheim should be the game of the night in Bundesliga and I'm expecting a lot of goals from this game and ready to trow a bet on both teams to score in first half.  I left Koln leading with 1 goal vs Leverkusen and I was like here we go again but now I see they managed to score 2 goals and win! Second win, did Leverkusen recover finally? In the other game, Frankfurt already scored 2 goals in less than 10 minutes and Hoffenheim looks in a bad situation! |

Two straight red cards since the first half, it clearly will not benefit Sevilla in this match. But really, I see they still seem likely to score another goal after Rafa Mir managed to close the first half with 1-2.
Playing with 9 players after 35 minutes of the game is hard, yet Sevilla scored 1 goal and they are 1-2 vs Sociedad. I find it interesting how they managed to resist. Teams are generally cracked once they lose 1 player. It is 2 here! |

I think they will work hard to win the match they will play with Chelsea. Such matches for Manchester City are now more important. If he plays, the match will be more difficult for Chelsea. Let's see if Chelsea will win his first important match with his new coach. Manchester City is playing fascinating this year. I think they will win this match.
Chelsea is not doing good this season and it is unlikely to see them winning vs City unless City made a lot of mistakes. Odds for City are 1.5 and Chelsea around 6! Just for comparison, Arsenal around 2 and Brighton 3.6 although gunners are the most stable team this season. |

Yeap...Atalanta weak form continues into this week as well as they are already down 1-0 from Lecce. I have big doubts that they can overturn this score in 2nd half and get a positive result today but they might snatch a draw. Meanwhile , Inter , Roma and Juventus are looking ready to make Atalanta go all way to 7th place and that's where they most likely face Fiorentina for last place in Europe Competition. EDIT 1 : Lecce just made 2-0 and I think it's game over for Atalanta.  Lecce 1 - 2 Atalanta with 15 minutes left approximately. No much time left and losing 3 points will be very bad for Atalanta since they might drop by many rank and became harder to get Napoli. Until now Roma is leading with 1 goal so they are 3rd and Atalanta 5th. Lazio 4th and Juve 6th and they can advance since they didn't play their matches so Atalanta might end in the 6th place if they lose.. |

Is this all planned work or just the brutal of a bear market because it seems that in every bear market worst things like this always happens.
Now I have no choice but to believe that 10,000$ BTC is possible.
I wouldn't call it planned, neither call it spontaneous. Whales, traders and ordinary people saw bitcoin price jumped to +$21k and with the long time below $20k, I think it is normal to see them selling a part of their funds or trading violently to get as much profit as possible. We are now under $17k which is low and not profitable imo. It is actually time to buy. If the price will continue getting down then it will be driven by other big things. |

What has become of Frank Lampard's coaching career. I truly expected a great coaching from him but it's been bad and now worst. Everton under Lampard's management has been in a state of decline. I can't imagine them playing against Bournemouth now in the Carabao Cup and the same Bournemouth that was beaten from a come back (1-3, 4-3) by Leeds is the same thing that is paltibh such a wonderful football against Everton. Creating very good chances and scoring the goals as well.
The whole defence line for Everton is been a big mistake. We have N. Patterson on one side and Ruben Vinagre on the other both making defensive errors. They suffer yet another lose after loosing to Leicester City over the weekend in the Premier League.
Maybe it's true they say, that good players don't make good coach but, Zidane isn't about that!
Zidane has his best moments but a weaker one too. Without good players, it is hard to be a winner coach even if you are a good one. By good, I don't mean known or expensive players but a fit player doing perfectly what he was asked to do. Anyway this competition isn't the main one for Everton, they are in the 16th position in EPL and should try to stay in the middle of the table to avoid the relegation zone.. Tomorrow there is Arsenal - Brighton and City - Chelsea that seems challenging. ManU - Villa might be interesting too especially that ManU was defeated by Villa these days  |

So fantastic ! Raphinha in and make an unexpected score, I think it's offside and the ball bounces out but not, its a goal. Although only 10 players but Barcelona can managed to steal 3 points from Osasuna, it was quite a tense match. Now Barcelona are in a comfortable position stay away from Real Madrid, without Lewandowski Barcelona actually have good striker but indeed losing 1 player makes it difficult for them.
He saved Barcelona day from a draw trap and made it difficult for Real Madrid to get back the first spot, at least before the international break. Meanwhile, Pique chose a good way to say goodbye to stadium, red card without playing the match! |

Bayern Munich is destroying its rivals as usual, Knocking Bremen by 6 goals to 1 in today's game!
This is of course an ordinary news but the weirdest part today is to see Dortmund losing by 2-0 vs Wolfsburg along with M'Gladbach defeat vs Bochum. Well we might get used to M'Gladbach failure vs weaker teams but Dortmund are dropping precious points in a season where they have difficult opponents like Union and Freiburg being annoying around.

That rumor has been circulating from some time, at least a week or even more, about Arsenal being interested in signing Facundo Torres from Orlando City but there is also Mykhaylo Mudryk from S.Donetsk. Since their schedule will be tough after the World Cup and the risk of injuries and so on, it would be better to have players to be able to rotate them and to keep positive results. |

So far Milan have failed to score for Cremonese in the first half and bookmakers are giving odds of around 1.7 to win for Milan... I think this is a good opportunity because Milan should win this game... I hope it gets hot in the second half... While bitcoin is doing bad things, I think you can try to win on betting to distract yourself... Cremonese, ranked 18, got a point against Milan after 0-0 draw.. I suppose many placed a bet on Milan and lost it whether before the game or in the middle of it. Considering Napoli victory today vs Empoli, the gap between Napoli in the first place and Milan in the second place is now 8 points which is very good. Lazio and Atalanta might join Milan in the second place with 30 points once they win their supposedly easy games. |

For now, Real Madrid are obviously the better side considering their Liverpool draw. Ancelotti has made the team even stronger this season. I'm aware of their point losses in the La Liga recently but they are still in a solid shape. They have handled their league and the Champions League really well so far. Liverpool haven't been able to keep it balanced. They don't have a good head-to-head record against Real Madrid either. I think Real Madrid will eliminate them one more time.
But there is a long time ahead of course. It is long enough to make big changes and we will see how Klopp will take advantage of this period. After the World Cup they will need to have a good form to be mentally ready against Real Madrid.
I wouldn't call Real Madrid the better side since the game will take place in February and by that time many things could change and Liverpool might become better. After all it is a big team that will annoy certainly Real Madrid! Now look to PSG and Bayern, don't know which team should I call unlucky to meet the other at this stage! Milan - Spurs and Chelsea - Dortmund are quite challenging games and it will be hard to predict the winner there. The remaining games look like an Europa League ones when you see the previous one. City is considered lucky to face Leipzig, I suppose |

having Barca vs United, and Liverpool vs Real in this stage of these two competitions is a real jewel, although we will have less great teams in later stages
although, United is on their own to be here, they could win first place in their group and watching Sociedad sweating in this round
nevertheless, all pairs look interesting, especially Ajax vs Union Berlin (I would call Ajax to pass through) and Sevilla vs PSV, Salzburg vs Roma
PSG protest to not finding its name here  For Europa League, there was an early final if we could say so between Barcelona and ManU. Imagine how lucky the other teams are! especially Juve, they should not have hard moments passing Nantes! Roma game isn't easy but they should pass too. The other matches seem to be random since teams there are fluctuating a lot even in their leagues.. |

I didn't watch Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid match, but it is so surprising to see the results in this way, this results is just the opposite of how many people thought about today's game. Rayo Vallecano really tried to win Real Madrid that many expected to win the match.
Mind you this is the only match that Real Madrid lost in 13 games this season and the defeat was ironically vs Rayo Vallecano, not Barcelona nor ATM!! That's a joke and I can't believe seeing that  Barcelona is now number 1 in the ranking with 2 points difference, they will play tomorrow vs Osasuna and their chances to stay in the first place until the end of the year are quite high.. |

Marseille have finally put an end to their bad streak against Lyon by a 1-0 win. I was waiting for this even though Marseille didn't have a good form. Teams like this care about finishing their bad series with a big game when there is an opportunity. We have a fresh Liverpool example as they beat Tottenham and did the same.
Marseille are a little unlucky that they are going to have another tough game next time. It is an away game against Monaco. I doubt Marseille to do the same in this game as well but we will see. They beat Monaco here in the previous season actually. Maybe this psychological advantage also might be some help.
Whatever the result will be between Marseille and Monaco, I doubt they could return to the second place before many rounds. The sad part is that even bookies don't support them vs Monaco. Personally I am waiting to see a draw in that game but regarding the randomness of the performance of both teams, I think everything is possible there. Apart from that match, there is another interesting game between Lyon and Nice before the long pause.. |
