In La Liga, there are only a few games that are always a concern and are eagerly awaited. While the rest I often miss. Maybe the tension of the game from a club that doesn't really have much desire to survive and a lack of popularity also makes the game less fun to watch. Clubs that play other than Real Madrid and Barcelona I miss the most. I think some people feel it, and if they are not a Madrid or Barcelona fan they will often miss it too. https://i.ibb.co/Lk0jHrq/image.pngThese games are ordinary one, nothing special this round. Odds for Real Madrid, Barcelona, ATM are quite high to win. Sociedad, Bilbao and Betis odds are quite good too. BTW Sociedad is playing right now in Europa League vs ManU and they are 1 goal behind. Yet, they are still in the first place. Meanwhile Betis is the first of its group regardless of the last match result. Concerning Barcelona, I read that Pique gonna leave the team after the next game or the game after? Did anyone hear about that rumour? |

Trabzonspor vs Ferencváros is going to start tomorrow a tough match between these two teams. I don't know how Trabzonspor will play in this match but I want to support Trabzonspor in this match. I think Trabzonspor will win this match. Trabzonspor had some bad matches before. We have seen played, but we hope that Trabzonspor will play a very good game in this match. I am waiting to see the set.
Ferencvaros won the first match between them 3-2 in September and they are leading the Group H for the moment. They just need a draw to qualify while Trabzonspor will require to win and wait for Monaco to lose or get a draw. It is complicated there but chances for Trabzonspor to win and keep fighting is low imo. |

I thought Xavi had done a formidable job over his predecessor, Ronald Koeman. But now that I put the figures side by side, it appears that Koeman has done better? That is only on paper, because the game picture looks much better from Barcelona at the moment. They are fully into the title race with Real Madrid, who failed to win at home last week. So Real Madrid can also make mistakes, although I still think Real Madrid play more convincingly than Barcelona. We have mainly seen that in the mutual match, but also in the Champions League. It must be said that Barcelona had a very tough group. The cup can also fall in all directions for both. Xavi will certainly want to win at least 1 prize.
There was many comparaison between Koeman's era and Xavi's one and although they mentioned that Koeman had better results but the team is healthier under Xavi's management and it will require time to see better results imo. Real Madrid is already on the wy to becoming nthe league's top club this season again even as they came top last season too, I am very confident that this season Real Madrid, will correct every error they committed in the last season that made they lose the championship even though ther did well in la Liga.
Real Madrid should stop wasting points randomly if they want to win La Liga otherwise Barcelona will get it. They are just following them closely while receiving few goals and missing few points. |

EPL presence in UCL is impressive. 4 teams will qualify from 16, three of them in the first place in their group and Liverpool in the second place. There is 4 also from Bundesliga and 3 from Serie A. The good part is being in the first place will give the advantage of playing vs those which ended second even though there is good teams there. Spurs and Liverpool have a match this weekend, imagine facing each other again in UCL  Odds for this game is better for Liverpool? although playing away? |

There is some speculation such as Barcelona might be targeting Arteta to replace Xavi in the future. I don't see this very realistic at the moment. Because before anything else, Barcelona management don't seem uncomfortable with Xavi's job right now. Maybe their being eliminated in the Champions League this easy was some loss of credit for Xavi but they are still hopeful about the La Liga title now. This is the most serious season for the title as they can play at a similar level with Real Madrid right now. But if they don't keep up a good form and let Real Madrid pull away earlier then Xavi might be in trouble. Then Arteta might be a choice considering his success with Arsenal so far this season. https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/barca-looking-at-mikel-arteta-as-a-future-coaching-option-77972868It depends. Xavi's experience with Barcelona as a coach is quite short and building a team requires a lot of patience. Obviously, repetitive defeats aren't acceptable. I assume he will be forced to leave once Barcelona fails badly in Europa League. They are one of the favourites teams to win it so losing early or badly by big score might affect his future. Winning La Liga in the other hand might save him. For Arteta, he had many difficulties with Arsenal previously before getting a team that made City suffers to try get the first place. |

1-1 for Juventus and not only this but Juventus is doing better than PSG with half of the squad.
I have no words on how they lost the qualification vs Maccabi.
Benfica is having problems there with the result 1-1 too and with the current result in PSG - Juve match, then PSG remains first and Juve third.. Milan is leading with 2 goals to 0 and the funny part is City 0-1 Sevilla! Ok City will end up first but cmon losing vs Sevilla is ridiculous.. Edit : ok City scored, 1-1 |

Napoli, Inter and Lazio players are taking 6 out of the 9 first places for top scorers. Atalanta, Milan and Roma players are ranked +8. Dunno if this is good or not but that means they are several players scoring within the team for the second group and less likely for the first ones. The main point is to not count on 1 player to score to guarantee you the victory. |

Mbappe would fit good in Benzema position imo but that isn't obvious to see soon. Benzema injury made the team less effective although they have many good forwarders like Vini and Rodrygo. Otherwise, Valverde is doing good and helped the team. For Barcelona, they have many good players but the team is sometimes dysfunctional unfortunately. It is up to Xavi to fix that. I think he gets little criticism just because he really is one of the best players in the past, plus he played in Barcelona's golden era. Let's face it, he's been building the team for a year now, the results are naturally good, but isn't that a long time to "build" a team? I can't even guess what they're missing now The importance of getting good results as soon as possible and not supporting bad ones by the fans, made teams change coaches basically every year or two. Some coaches accepted to be kind of recycled in this process. The result is simply no time to build anything, some coaches just reject the deals and sign ups made by the previous one and the team continues to lose more money. |

Chelsea who have just dropped points will try to make amends by beating Arsenal, Potter will give instructions to his players to perform optimally, three points must be won at Stamford bridge to match the points earned by Newcastle who are in fourth place.
Chelsea beating Arsenal won't be obvious unless City's fans prayers will be accepted that day! Chelsea didn't find yet their stability. It is like the beginning of the month they collect points then in the other half, they don't need points anymore.. The odds for the game between Chelsea and Arsenal are almost the same since the game will take place in Stamford Bridge imo otherwise Arsenal will be favourite. |

Roma's performance is weak today as in the last match. Verona is not a very strong team. Verona is also playing with 10 players due to Pawel Dawidowicz's red card. Even then Roma is not able to perform well. They are not attacking much. In this match, if Roma played an attacking strategy, they could have scored. Because Verona's defense is not very strong. Roma's performance in the last two away matches against Hellas Verona was not good.Roma lost both. And this continuity they have continued. Shame on Mourinho for such a poor performance against Verona. Roma's attacking performance is getting weaker by the day.
At the end Roma managed to get 3 points by scoring 3-1 vs Verona. I believe that Roma couldn't secure these goals if they played vs 11 Verona players! Anyway they got 3 points and that's what is important. Roma is now 4th, they could secure that spot once they win vs Lazio next round if they could. |

Barcelona cannot be said to be a strong team after what happened to them in the Champions League this season and also they have problems with the depth of their squad which still has to find it difficult when their mainstay players are not available. Real Madrid are certainly better than Barcelona, but that doesn't mean they don't have problems with the team. One of the obvious problems now is that their forward line lacks players to replace Benzema when he is out of action. And that's what we see in this week's match which caused them to lose 3 points after being held to a draw by Girona. Carlo Ancelotti must look for players who can fill the void in Benzema's position in the upcoming transfer market to be able to keep the depth of their squad even stronger.

Poor performance has displayed by Lorient yesterday that they were continue their poor results from Nice that playing at home Lorient cannot break the defense of Nice although on the first half Lorient was able to scoring goal but during second half Nice was playing more better than them and the result is really unexpected me because before the match i thought Lorient can beat Nice however during the match Kasper Schmeichel has succesfully to managed his performance with very well even he has blocked several attempts from Lorient players and i think he has deserved as man of the match and next week will be hard match for Lorient because they have to fight against PSG
It is the third match in three successive rounds that Lorient fail to get 3 points. Nice this season isn't that top while Lorient were doing good at the start but things changed. Their next game against PSG will make their record even worse imo. In another game, Lyon tackled Lille and allowed Monaco to pass it. Overall, only Lens and Rennes kept positive results but the distance between them and PSG is quite reasonable 5-8 points! |

Shalk keep struggling this year and it's seems that they will not stay for another year in the bundesliga, i really expected that they can do something against Freiburg but unfortunately they lost 0-2, the ods was a bit wired for me but in the end Freiburg win the match easily and bookmarks was right
Schalke performance two years ago was ridiculous and starting the season with 0-8 vs Bayern was an epic opener of that season. In the current season, they weren't doing any better after a year spent in 2.Bundesliga. Their start was mediocre and now they cumulated 6 defeats in a row. Unless they made the team better by the winter window, they will end up in 2.Bundesliga again. |

Last weekend was a terrible one for Liverpool and most Liverpool fans are so angry about the players selections and the club pre season arrangement, it is not good to sell a big player in the club when their know that, ther is no replacement.
So far Liverpool is still difficult to overcome the deadlock strategy. Darwin Nunez is also often unstable in every match. Maybe in the next January transfer window they have to buy some new players to fill the new strategy that will be made by Jurgen Kloop. But on the other hand the coach's fate is on the verge of being fired if they still get a defeat. Klopp is a respectable coach and he made Liverpool stronger otherwise he would be fired since the first games.. Yet, seeing how the team is very instable, will push the administration and the fans support for the coach to the lowest level. Consolidating the team with new players in the next transfer window might boost Liverpool and improve its results but I assume that any failure afterwards will make him leave them. |

Yesterday matches came with surprises after Inter defeat by 3 goals vs Salernitana and after Milan defeat vs Torino. Napoli kept the first place with 5 points advantage and Atalanta is in the second place alone. At the same time, Inter and Juve got closer to the others. Verona is currently at home against AS Roma. Still disappointing for AS Roma. Verona was in 17th place in the competition for this round with only 5 points. Now add 3 points that almost doubles the total. I expect AS Roma to be able to put things in order in this match as we are only 30 minutes into it. November 5 we get the match Atalanta - Napoli, a real showdown for Napoli. If Atalanta wants anything in the battle for the title, they will have to win this game and hope that Napoli does not reach the level of the last games.
The result is 1-1 between Roma and Verona in the first half with the advantage of playing vs 10 players thanks to a red card taken by Verona's player. I assume Roma could add another goal in the second half. |

Union Berlin deserved to win. Their last-minute goal rewarded their performance. They did not stop believing in themselves. A great performance and good preparation for the Europa League match. Union Berlin and Freiburg make the Bundesliga exciting. Freiburg won against Schalke with 2:0.
Until now both Union and Freiburg are annoying Bayern more than Dortmund and Leverkusen in the previous season. BTW where is Leverkusen now  M'Gladbach in today's game wasn't able to keep the 1 goal advantage most of the time of the game, they just let Union score 2 goals and got all 3 points. A draw could make Bayern first! I think Bayern fans should wait Freiburg - Union match to see their team being first again. |

Asernal made it with 5 goas this weekend evne when some other clubs struggled to sustain either a goal on draw were as Liverpool lost the own game this goes along to how how Asernal is set to takeover this premiere league season.
We hope so but it seems like that manchester city will not let arsenal to make it happen. Arsenal must not make any mistake during the season caused by it will give a chance for manchester city to surpass arsenal. I think that if arsenal is under a huge pressuren with city was following at the second position. Arsenal must be forced to win in the upcoming matches against various team. The mid - end season of premier league is almost there. I meant we can sure that if city is also trying to push arsenal even bigger than before. City has a dream to win EPL as well. The delayed match between Arsenal and City made gunners getting the lead without a reassuring margin. 3 points is nothing and will not stand for long. The good part is that Arsenal is keeping winning and City made some mistakes but for how long could gunners keep the first place for themselves? For today's games, Arsenal scoring 5 goals is good even vs a team like Nottingham. ManU in the other hand won by only 1 goal.. |

Unfortunately, Marseille was not able to get full points during their away game. they lost momentum after leading 0-2 in the first half, in the end, Strasbourg was able to equalize in the second half. the final result, both only won one point in this match.
Marseille continue to drop points for the 4th match in a row, making them the 5th team in the table until now. Strasbourg is way weaker than the previous season and barely getting points, their last minutes goal made Marseille in a poor position. in the end, Marseille must sincerely share points with the home team.
should be, last night's match was a win for them and got a big motivation when they will play the match against Tottenham at the Orange Velodrome, their own home base.
Spurs are favourites in this game that will be played next Tuesday, although they have much difficulties to secure 3 points lately. Marseille isn't good and with the poor results these days, the team is psychologically less concentrated and might ruin its progress in EL soon. |

If Union Berlin wants to take its best position and catch up with points behind Bayern Munich then in this match against Borussia Mönchengladbach Union Berlin must score a lot of goals to get some additional points which are enough to make its position safe and even move up to take the position of Bayern Munich because only the difference 2 points from Bayern Munich.
Goals difference of Bayern is almost equal to all positive goals difference of the other teams! They have a high scoring capability and one of the lowest goals received number. Bayern 6 - 2 vs Mainz was very interesting result  For Union, the situation will be complicated if they drop points against M'Gladbach. They are favourites in today's game but M'Gladbach is a team which you cannot expect the way its players will perform.. |

Following some unexpected results in yesterday's matches, we can see how Liverpool and Chelsea suffered unexpected defeats, which has become difficult news since yesterday, as we all know is the nature of Premier League games, and any team can surprise a big team at any time.
What can we say about Arsenal today? With Manchester City having already taken the lead in the Premier League table with a win over Leicester City yesterday, and Arsenal's performance having dipped to the point of losing a match in the Europa League group stage last week, can Arsenal take the lead again by beating Nottingham Forest?
I cannot imagine Arsenal losing vs Nottingham, even though this team managed to win vs Liverpool in the previous round. Arsenal is way better than Liverpool and Nottingham together for the moment. In Europa League, Arsenal almost qualified and they played less seriously than usual, they need to win vs Zurich to qualify directly, which is a weak team. Liverpool and Chelsea are making themselves look silly with such defeats. Spurs have difficulties too and won at the last minutes of the game. |
