Real Madrid are back to the La Liga again after a national break. And their opponent today is Celta Vigo. This is an away match maybe but I don't have any doubts about them to win this match. Because they got a really humiliating result against Barcelona the last time in the La Liga. Nobody was expecting that bad score. It is time to atone for this terrible loss and cheer their fans up. And a 1.90 odd for Real Madrid win is like a huge present for us now. I've already bet on Real Madrid to win today.
Benzema is in the starting lineup, so the damage was not significant, here someone was worried that without Benzema, Real would not be the same. Great news, Benzema is a very important player in Real Madrid's attack. By the way, the coefficient is already falling and now it is 1.83, but it still looks very good. Can Benzema score today? They really made it! And thanks to their victory, my bet has won too. But I must admit one thing here that it wasn't easy at all. I didn't like Real Madrid too much in their defense especially. They let Celta Vigo come too many times that they would have even lost points here. After this 2-1 victory, they must be really happy to be back on track again. Because the El Clasico loss was humiliating for them. They are closing in on the championship step by step.

Barcelona have five days left to play against Frankfurt in the quarter final round. The first match is in Germany and Barcelona's odd to win this match is 1.70 now. This is a quite favorable odd to bet on I presume. Barcelona are the absolute favourite in this matchup already and I think they will play big in the first match. And this would help them get a decent win to secure themselves before the match in Camp Nou. Barcelona are starting to feel the title now and this is another obstacle ahead.

The second half of the Liverpool - Watford match is continuing right now. There are only twenty minutes to go for the final whistle. And so far, Liverpool have dominated the match completely just as most people expected. However they are still only 1-0 ahead now. This is a very risky score now and I hope to see Liverpool increasing the goal difference to two as soon as possible. Watford are not playing in this half at all maybe but this kind of situations are always worrying for the favourite team of the match. If Liverpool win, they will take the lead from Manchester City temporarily.

I can't wait to see the matches on this week. And the matches that I wonder the most now are Kayserispor - Fenerbahce and Konyaspor - Goztepe. Because there is a really strong rivalry between Fenerbahce and Konyaspor to have the second position at the end of the season. The team to finish the season there are going to qualify for the Champions League qualification round in the end. My opinion for these matches is like they both wouldn't make a mistake and would win their matches this week.

Union Berlin - Koln match can be another tough match of the week. This is an important match for both of them in the fight for the sixth position now. Koln seem to be a little ahead of their opponent to me actually. But bookies are showing Union Berlin as the favourite in this one. There is no huge difference between them in the standings now. Koln are only two points ahead of them. And actually their first meet ended in a draw by 2-2 in Koln. But I still believe in Koln not to lose and even win this maybe.

Manchester City - Atletico Madrid draw can be really fun for us to watch. But maybe we might see few goals in the second leg that is going to be in Wanda Metropolitano. But my expectation from the first leg is going to be quite high. Because all of us know how great Manchester City are playing in their home matches. They literally own those matches and make us watch a match with a high tempo most of the time. And I hope to see at least three goals in that match too. And obviously, Manchester City would advance to next round.

Juventus are going to have one of their toughest matches these days. And it is valid for their opponent in this match as well that is Inter. Inter have had a worse time period than Juventus these days and their form has dropped down quite a lot. And thanks to this, Juventus found a big chance to catch up with them this much. Of course we can't overlook Juventus' great effort like I mentioned. Although bookmakers favour Inter to win now, I believe that Juventus won't be the losing side here. If there is going to be a winner, it would be Juventus.

The most attractive matchup of this round is Manchester City - Liverpool. There is no more than one leg in this round and the match is in Wembley. There are still around two weeks to go for the match actually. This is a good amount of time to get ready for the match. And they are going to play in the EPL against each other before this match too. Something tells me that Liverpool are going to succeed in eliminating Manchester City in the FA Cup but it is still early to be sure of anything. And mine is just about a feeling too.

It was an amazing race in my opinion. And Perez was the most unlucky driver of the day certainly. Because he was leading the Grand Prix for a long time but the incident caused him to lose his place to Leclerc. It was a great fake by Ferrari by the way. They showed it like they were going to have Leclerc in the pit right after the incident but Leclerc didn't enter. And Red Bull tried to counter Ferrari by having Perez before them but it was in vain. And the competition between Verstappen and Leclerc was incredible just as in the Bahrain GP. But this time, the winner was Verstappen.

Roma supporters are just hoping to see Jose Mourinho making a difference after last season. But they are unfortunately eight points away from the fourth position now. And as there is Juventus in that position now, Roma will have a big problem on catching up with them absolutely. But they can at least secure their current position which is the fifth position. This would still be an improvement for Roma as they finished last season in the seventh position. So I wait for them to beat Sampdoria too next time and move on nicely.

I also don't see anything worth to bet on for the Portugal - North Macedonia match in two days. Portugal's winning odd right now is only 1.2 and this is not worth taking a big risk I believe. Actually I also think that Portugal wouldn't do the same mistake Italy did here. But I still don't want to feel stressed by betting on them after witnessing that result. But maybe one can give a chance to North Macedonia's double chance here. If one bets on it with a small amount, it would be fun to follow the match like that.

Maybe it is a big opportunity for Milan and Napoli both now but I see Milan closer to the title. I don't say this just because Milan are three points ahead of Napoli of course. I say this because Milan have been seeming like a more reliable team than Napoli especially considering their performances recently. And next week, the balances could change again. Because Milan have an easy match but it is the opposite for Napoli. If the gap becomes bigger than this, then Napoli would have a big difficulty in turning things around.

The next week in the league is going to be an interesting one. Because the teams that are in battle for the lead are going to have one of their toughest fixtures in the league. Bayern Munich are going to have a match away against Freiburg first. Freiburg are an impressive team this season and they might surprise Bayern Munich too. But from now on, Bayern Munich mustn't continue to make big mistakes very often. So they can win this match and go on without a problem. And Dortmund have a match home against Leipzig. This is a hard match to predict due to Dortmund's unstable look. But I still want to believe in them to win.

I also don't think that the match between Barcelona and Sevilla will end in a draw. If we were still seeing the bad version of Barcelona, then it would be very likely to be a draw match. But now Barcelona are the best performing team in the league now. Even if this match ends in a draw somehow, it would be due to an unlucky day for Barcelona. Because I expect them to dominate the match from the start to the end of it. Sevilla would have a tough time against them as their recent form is bad.

Chelsea could be the most comfortable team in the league now. Because they have no target to achieve left from now on. I mean that they don't have any chance for the Premier League championship obviously. They are very likely to end this season in the third position in the standings. They are just going to try to keep their position like this until the end not to be in danger. If they are left behind by another team, it could mean that they can be under the threat of staying out of top four too. But I think Chelsea will keep their position.

It is going to be great to have a Barcelona - Sevilla match next time in the La Liga. Because there is already a huge battle for the second spot in the league now. Sevilla are only three points ahead while Barcelona are having an absent match. In Camp Nou, I want to see Barcelona destroying Sevilla as well because they have been the most impressive team of the league nowadays. They deserve the spot much more than Sevilla definitely. And as Sevilla lost quite many points lately, they wouldn't be as motivated as Barcelona.

I agree that Villarreal and Benfica have impressed people after qualifying for this round. But it is surely going to be the end for them as they wouldn't stand a chance against their opponents. Bayern Munich might experience the same thing they did against Salzburg in the first match. But in Allianz Arena, it would be an easy win for them. But Villarreal are a much more durable team so they wouldn't lose like Salzburg either. And Liverpool would aim to finish this in the first leg already. And they would by at least two goals.
