The Champions League is always unpredictable. It is difficult to say which team will be the champion. No wonder an underdog team wins. A few years ago the Chelsea team won the Champions League title. No one imagines that a mediocre team like Chelsea will win the Champions League title. This season, Madrid, City, Bayern Munich are naturally favorites. However, there is no surprise if any team wins the title outside of these teams. Each group has strengths as well as several weaknesses.

We agree, because after all the Champions League is different from other domestic leagues. in the round of 16 and the next round, each team will play 2 matches, either home or away. in this phase, each team will maximize its strength when competing against other teams. one mistake made by a player can have fatal consequences for the team as a whole. even if it's a strong team, they have the potential to be overthrown by teams that we don't expect. currently, the teams that are predicted to be strong competitors in the race for the trophy are Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. for me, these three teams have a chance to appear in the Champions League final. it's just that, we never know until it's time for the final round to be held. it could be that the three teams I mentioned were defeated by other teams who are also still involved in this competition. after all, the round of 16 had not yet been held. so, it is still not possible to determine which team will enter the final. so far, we can only assume and speculate because it is based on the team's strength, performance, and also how they play their matches in this competition. for me personally, I prioritize the beauty of the game in modern football.  Whoever the team is competing, let's just enjoy it. moreover, ahead of the crucial rounds until the final round. and there is no other way, but to follow every development until the end of this competition.
In the Champions League everything is possible because it is filled with the best clubs from their respective leagues. But there are some clubs that are always declared to be favorites in every season, for example, Real Madrid. With their status as the club that has won the most titles, they are always taken into account in every season. But that doesn't end well either, sometimes they really succeed and sometimes they have to be eliminated early.
There is always a chance for other clubs, but it's not as big a chance as it is for the favorites.
In the Champions League it is rare for a club to win back-to-back titles, and one club that can do that is Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League three times in a row. They seem to have broken the curse that most people believe in the Champions League.

In the long run it harms the league and then every once in a while, like maybe once in a decade or so, you can see that PSG has some struggles because they can't motivate themselves and have many legacy players who have won the title eight times, another club comes forward and has a remarkable run for a season and eventually wins the trophy once. Then that is the wake up call for PSG again and the cycle restarts. PSG is focused again and wins ten titles in a row.

Look at the German Bundesliga where Bayern Munich has won all Bundesliga titles for over a decade I think. The gap between them and the rest isn't quite as big as it is in Ligue 1, but still it is enough to dominate the league forever. It is boring for the people who love football and want competition in their domestic leagues.

There is nothing fun about seeing the same team win all the time even when it is the fans who are cheering for PSG.

that's what happens in Ligue 1. because each club owner may have a different investment for their club. and the gap with other clubs will be clear when PSG can gather Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar. I'm sure no club in Ligue 1 could do that in that situation.
PSG seems to have to make plans for some of the top players in the transfer market that they can get. They have dominated in Ligue 1, but they will be doubted when they are in European competitions like the Champions League. PSG may have a chance to progress from the last 16 of the Champions League, but they will not win it.
Money makes all the difference between one club and another, and that's what we see with Paris Saint Germain at the moment. No other club has the same financial situation as Paris Saint Germain, they can't even come close. Paris Saint Germain are the only club in Ligue 1 that is attractive to investors and sponsors and they don't have the same interest as other clubs in LIgue 1. I'm not sure about this, I mean can't they provide something that makes big sponsors interested in them?
So it's very natural for one club to dominate this league and it's true that it becomes boring because we see the equal competition that other clubs can do. If there were 1 or 2 clubs that had the same ability as Paris Saint Germain, I think this league would be a little bit more interesting.

I believe Messi is a better football player, but I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo is a more hardworking football player. Even though he is 38 years old, he still runs a lot on the pitch and puts a lot of effort. I think it's impossible to do that with God-given talents. These are achievements that are the result of hard work, discipline and a regular life. Ronaldo is above all a good professional. And he works hard to live like a good professional.
I don't think we should compare Messi and Ronaldo, because they have their own strengths and to say who is better I think they are at the same level.
We are lucky to be able to witness their greatness and I think it will be difficult to find plyers like them in a very fierce competition. It will be very sad when they decide to retire as footballers.
They are footballers who last a very long time, even their dominance is unstoppable for more than a decade. Although many young players are born who have a good game, they remain a very interesting topic of conversation.
Now that they are old, they are just enjoying their career before deciding to retire later. They deserve to be considered as one of the legends of football.

I think I said this before, but they didn't lose the title in the last match at home, they lost the title in a dozen of matches they should have won or tied before the last match was played. Dortmund is just not good enough and it has been like that for a while now. They have good weeks and then it looks as if they were able to break Bayern's dominance, but then the disappointment is so huge that nobody can trust their eyes what's happening. The last game last season was only the tip of the iceberg. The whole drama enfolded over the course of the whole season.
The present poor performance from the Borrusia Dortmund, they deserved it because they derived more pleasure and making enormous profits from selling their key players other than aiming to winning major titles. Last season would have become one of the good moments that would come from the players and the team's supporters, but the team choose to ruined it by losing their last match that would have settled the difference between them and Bayern Munich who was also the exact same points. Dortmund have to stop selling key players to other elite clubs and decides to stay firm and build their club surround these incredible players.

It's something they have to accept when they are still practicing habits that are actually not good for them in terms of the game. For business, obviously it's something that is very profitable for them, but they should also be more able to balance between business and titles. If they want to and they can suppress their habits a bit more, I'm sure they'll be a much stronger club than they were last season. And I would say they would be on the same level as their main competitors, Bayern Munich.
But as of now it seems that the management is prioritizing profitable business over titles. I won't talk about bigger competitions like the Champions League, but at least they can provide fierce competition in the Bundesliga and can stop the dominance that Bayern Munich has had until now. Bayern Munich are too comfortable in the Bundesliga, and before the league starts we can predict who will be the champions.

He got a big profit from a financial perspective from PSG with all the conditions stated in his previous contract, but he will experience a big loss in terms of career due to having difficulty winning the UCL trophy with PSG. Mbappe is one of the big players, he is still young, he has to think more maturely in choosing money and a career.
At his current age he has to choose career over money, he has the potential to win the UCL with Real Madrid and can make it as the best player in the world. Money can be earned when they are at the end of their professional careers, like Benzema and Ronaldo who play in the Arab League.

We will read a lot of discussions and rumors about Mbappe in the coming days. I am sure he will want to leave Paris Saint-Germain FC and go to a more ambitious team in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain FC are going through a restructuring with Luis Enrique. And they are giving good signals for the future. But I don't think Mbappe can wait for them for a few more years, and we know he has earned a lot of money so far. His last contract with Paris Saint-Germain FC brought him good money. I think he will want to go to a team where he wants to win more trophies instead of earning more money. If earning more money was his first priority, he would have said yes to the crazy offer made by the Arabs at the beginning of the season.

Mbappe's desire to quickly leave Paris Saint Germain he already said last season, but by all means Paris Saint Germain did not allow Mbappe to leave. He is a talented player who is very unfortunate that his potential cannot be displayed to the fullest at Paris Saint Germain, I am sure he regrets when he decided to join Paris Saint Germain rather than Real Madrid at that time. now his desire to leave seems difficult, because Paris Saint Germain itself until now is still trying to convince him to stay in the squad.
Many say that Real Madrid is the ideal club for him, and it is indeed seen because at Real Madrid he can show his best abilities, especially in the Champions League. A player's ability must also be supported by the club's game too, because it is something that is interrelated with each other.
2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 01, 2024, 12:17:05 PM
After Ancelotti contract extension with Real Madrid, several interesting rumors have also spread, namely that there are attempts to bring in defenders on short contracts or on loan.
He is Manchester United player Raphael Varane, after all, Ancelotti desire to bring in the Manchester United defender has also been confirmed.
It just that we don't know whether Manchester United will actually loan out the defender they have or keep him because Manchester United itself is not in good condition this season.

Bringing in defenders is actually not priority for Real Madrid and of course without bringing in Raphael Varane they can still play well.
In addition, in the next few matches, we will only play against team that are not much stronger than them, so using the composition of reserve players have will definitely still be able to provide maximum performance.
Ancelotti still sees deficiencies in the defense area, so he wants Varane to rejoin the squad, I think it is a basic decision for Ancelotti, because Varane himself is a former foster child who certainly knows very well the character of the player he wants.
But the problem is as you say, Manchester United itself is not in a good condition, and Varane is one of the players that Manchester United relies on, I'm not sure Manchester United will want to keep this player, unless they can get a replacement that is commensurate or better than Varane.
Real Madrid's urgent need is in their attacking line, but at the moment they are quite relaxed, I have the thought they have confirmed that they will get the 1 player they need so they can be this relaxed. And the closest and most highly rumored is Mbappe, will it happen?
2507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 01, 2024, 12:02:10 PM
Against Salernitana it shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Juventus. The most important thing is that Juventus must not underestimate their opponents. They must always treat every match as an important match like against other strong teams. Because most strong teams always lose to weak teams because they underestimate their opponents.
Salernitana will meet Juventus in two events at once, the Italian league and the Italian Cup in the next few days, I know Salernitana is at the bottom of the Italian league so it is not a club that poses a serious threat to Juventus, but with a short time gap between the two matches, Allegri has to organize and rotate the players so they don't feel tired due to this busy schedule. At least the Juventus players are in good form.

Victory is of course Juventus' main goal, especially in the Italian league, they have to catch up with Inter Milan, that's why they have to be able to take advantage and wait for Inter Milan to make another mistake so that Juventus can overtake them at the top of the standings and win the title this season. that's what all Juventus supporters might hope for. My prediction is that Juventus will win the match against Salernitana
On paper, Salernitana are not a big threat to Juventus, they are at the bottom of the table right now. Although they can win their last match, it is nothing compared to Juventus. Juventus should be able to win this match without encountering serious difficulties, unless they don't play well or they have a big misfortune that will make them possibly achieve an unsatisfactory result.
 They have managed to cut the gap with Inter Milan in the standings and that is good news for them, so they should be able to maintain what they have shown so far.
Their chances of becoming the best in Serie A again are wide open this season, especially since they also have the advantage of not having a busy schedule, and in terms of fitness they will definitely benefit. 2 points is their gap with Inter Milan in the table, I feel they will be able to coup Inter Milan in the future.

Today will be a very important game for Liverpool... If they beat a weak Newcastle, they will confirm the first place in the EPL... Newcastle is performing worse and worse during the season... I don't know why this is so, maybe because of the Champions League...ю. But I'm sorry that this season started badly for them... The points against Liverpool probably won't be taken...
Just excited to watch big match today, absolutely going to stay home and enjoyed an entertaining game today. Both clubs are not in the UEFA Champions League competition, giving them more time to focused on winning top matches in EPL because it's solely their domestic league and winning is very important. Both clubs are very careful not to jeopardize their chances of winning, a strict measures will be implemented. Liverpool vs Newcastle United tonight, this is the first EPL fixture for the new year and everyone looking forward to watch the first EPL club that would accumulates three points in 2024.


Liverpool are in good form, while Newcastle are the opposite, they struggled to maintain their form last season and now they look weaker. I think Liverpool realize what Newcastle are experiencing this time, they are different from Newcastle in the previous season which showed an impressive performance. But even so they shouldn't try to underestimate Newcastle because it will be very dangerous for them, especially now that Liverpool are pursuing something they have to get this season, which is to become champions in the Premier League. If they win this match, then they will leave Aston Villa who are their closest club in the current standings with the same 42 points. Of course they will also leave Arsenal who won another defeat this week. Manchester City will probably be their closest club if Manchester City manage to win this week.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 01, 2024, 03:41:57 AM
Many people believe the rich win more than the poor in gambling. This is because they see them as people who have more money to spend than the poor, who are just squeezing out that money to gamble, but the truth is that the poor spend, the rich spend, who will win, and the winning is based on what tactic the person who is gambling uses to gamble.
 
Sometimes most people who are rich don't even gamble up to the way the poor people gamble, and they win because they gamble more. The poor gamble up to the extent that they so much believe they can win to change their lives. Why do the rich gamble to win and add to their wealth? Theoretically speaking, I see the poor as people who gamble more and win more.

If we only look at one side of the situation then obviously I think most people will have the same assumption as you said about rich people winning more from gambling than poor people, people only focus on the financial situation and the difference in the allocation of the amount of budget to spend, but they don't look at the actual concept of gambling which always depends on luck and means that rich or poor if it is difficult for them to be in a lucky situation then obviously defeat will occur and even in a row because obviously luck is always difficult to predict.

Why do rich people win more? Obviously the reason is because they can do more experiments which means luck has the potential to get closer but if we look at the losses then it's the same thing they will also lose a large amount if indeed most of the experiments they do end with defeat, and the difference is clear that rich people have a lot of money to do a lot of experiments while poor people can't do that much because of the limited money they have.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: January 01, 2024, 03:21:20 AM
On the other hand I think that if they have  to sell part of the assets they have just to gamble then obviously in my opinion their goal is not to seek entertainment but to make it.
This method is considered not good, having to sell assets just to finance gambling because gambling should only be entertainment, not a game that makes a lot of money, let alone making it a source of income, so stopping gambling when you lose is the right choice, not selling assets to fulfill pent-up emotions due to experiencing defeat, let alone gambling, trying to recover from defeat.

I know that being a gambler is hard, it's hard to control yourself, especially when you experience defeat and emotions, but every gambler also has the choice to follow his feelings or stop there so as not to sell assets, let alone seek loans from banks, let alone loan sharks, that is not recommended and is not a good way to become a responsible gambler. Gambling should be entertainment, not a place to make money

Their actions have shown an excessive approach by selling some of the valuable assets they have just for gambling allocations, when on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever to produce a win and with this then it seems that I can slightly conclude as I said earlier that they came not to seek entertainment but to seek victory and it seems that they are in a cycle of closing losses by seeking victory. Of course it is true as you said, we allocate money to gambling to pay for the entertainment we will feel during the game and not as a tool to lure something bigger, it would be impossible if basically their struggle is only based on luck which of course always cannot be known when it comes.

Yes, engaging in gambling is not that fun, there will always be temptations that are difficult for us to ignore, and if we are wrong in our approach and not in accordance with what is recommended by common sense then obviously this activity will make us suffer a lot of problems. The application of self-control and some other restrictions will be difficult if they come with the wrong understanding and point of view, on the other hand we can say that quitting is always the best solution but it is not that easy for them to do so because it is difficult to achieve awareness in such situations.
2511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: December 31, 2023, 04:34:49 PM
Yeah, also it's good to remember how long an addiction has been around.

You can't really change years of a specific behavior overnight.

It takes a long time to actually rewire the brain, but it is absolutely worth it.

You end up being a different person, because you literally change your brain over time.
No matter how hard it is to change someone's behavior, I think it still has a chance to change, especially if there is a strong effort from that person to try to change their behavior. If they really want change and are willing to do what needs to be done, they can do it, especially if people close to them are willing to help them through it all. This will not be difficult for the person and his family because they will help each other to survive even in difficult conditions. But the problem is that maintaining the desire to persist will inevitably lead to temptations that can make them return to gambling again.

All changes must always begin with strong intentions and sincerity from themselves and that means it's useless if many people help even some professionals who are considered to be able to overcome it but still in the end it will be very difficult to do, actually all addicted gamblers can recover by themselves if they have admitted their mistakes and have the intention to change, although the process is not easy and not fast but it doesn't matter because there will always be a process for success.

The awareness and desire that comes out of oneself for a change and also in combination with the help of the closest people I think it will enlarge or even facilitate the recovery process, as we know that the disease of addiction lies in the human brain and if they are already aware of it then obviously they only have to follow some directions suggested by the people closest to them, But before that it is also necessary to consider whether the advice is really good and leads to a change or not, yes I understand it is quite difficult to maintain the struggle for change consistently because the temptation of gambling will always cross his mind, but I think the people closest to him should be able to limit his activities, such as limiting the use of gadgets to avoid.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss on: December 31, 2023, 04:15:45 PM
If gambling is not intended to make money, then losing will never make gambler experience the pressure of intense disappointment, they will not be lost in sadness because they lost from gambling.
Defeat is something that is guaranteed and no gambler can avoid it, defeat is an outcome that all gamblers must accept as much as possible.
What you say is very correct, when someone gambles just for fun, of course they won't care about the losses they get in gambling and they won't spend a lot of money on the gambling they play, because they know when they will spend time gambling and time to stop gambling.
It is true that in every game we will have wins and losses and we cannot avoid this. If we don't want big losses, of course we have to be able to control ourselves in every game we play.

Of course, if someone gambles with the aim of just seeking pleasure then obviously I think their gambling activities will not be too excessive because it is not too difficult to be able to get pleasure in gambling even if you only use a small budget, and conversely if you come with the aim of earning then that's where all the problems will start, as you said that gamblers who come for entertainment they will not care too much about losses, But I'll correct you a little bit that no matter how people come for fun but still everyone will never like the name of losing, meaning that there will definitely be at least a little upset that they feel, but maybe the difference is that they will not be too excessive and will not chase defeat to break even because what they want is just fun or entertainment and not making money, different from people who come with the aim of earning where the number of losses will be much greater because they try more.

True, the risks involved in gambling cannot always be avoided, sometimes even people who have strict limits will still experience losses like professional gamblers, but maybe for those who have control and limits they will not suffer too much defeat.
2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. on: December 31, 2023, 03:50:52 PM
There's no way that your win is assured when the game hasn't ended yet, it's the name of the game after all and there's always a comeback when it comes to sports so definitely no way to be sure of a win until the game's over and yes it's definitely frustrating but I don't think that it should be the thing that's going to make you feel about the game the most, you at least should feel some admiration to the fact that they've defied the odds and they've won, I think that it's awe inspiring and admirable that I wouldn't be mad if it ever happens to me when I bet.

Haha that's right, logically how can they say that the victory is guaranteed if basically the final result has not happened or that means the session has not ended and has not gotten a definite answer whether it wins or loses, in addition to the name gambling is always about luck, No matter where you bet even in sports betting which I admit your skills and knowledge can be very influential but as you say here that it still cannot be denied that it is very possible that the results at the end of the game are different, comebacks will always be able to happen and there have been many examples where the big team was defeated by a weak team even though at the beginning of the match the match was dominated by the big team and that is gambling which always cannot be predicted 100% if the game is not over.

However, if you have decided to engage in gambling then obviously whatever the result you must be able to accept it, victory is a result that is always awaited but defeat is a thing that will definitely happen because that is the risk that exists in gambling, so if you finally lose then you must be able to accept it, simply put if you are ready to win then you must also be ready to lose.
2514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: December 31, 2023, 03:19:03 PM
Loses more has nothing to do with our financial condition, all of us can lose more regardless how is our financial condition. It is more about how we control our gambling activity, if we lose our control then no matter how rich we are, we can be poor later. The topic you are referring to is just an opinion from the poster based on something that he knows himself. I think there is no specific official study that evaluate about who get more losses between rich, average and poor. I'm an average person, I cant say that I lose more and I also cant say that I win more. Gambling is all about luck, sometime we win and some other time we lose. However, the house has bigger advantage than the player so it is quite normal if we lose more often than win.

Exactly, it is true that in gambling problems we cannot make rich, average or poor as a benchmark of who gets more wins and who suffers more losses, obviously there are no statistics that can be taken as a whole and as you say that for this problem it really depends on each individual perspective in assessing it. The logic however is that gambling is about winning and losing, no matter how rich you are if you cannot manage your gambling activities or for example you approach it in the wrong and excessive way then obviously rich or poor you will still be part of those who suffer a lot of defeat like addicts.

So the bottom line in this issue is that everyone has different assessments and ways of measuring, it's not about rich or poor but about who among them cannot manage and maintain their gambling activities which will obviously make them suffer a lot of losses, the fact is that gamblers are part of people who will continue to have problems with the risks involved in gambling and winning actually only applies to the house itself.

gambling just for fun with the money spent measured according to your income and not addiction is actually no problem.
because if it's just for fun to lose, you won't sell assets just to gamble.
maybe the experience that happened to your father will be different from the experience of others

Such an approach is indeed  more advisable, however we must still be able to adjuust for the sake of a balance, especially in terms of finance, try to spend only the amount that we can be responsible for and better far below the amount of income  we get from salary, or that means much smaller like for example 1% - 3% of the amount of income you get and do not let this activity even make us suffer a lot of problems. After all, as you said, there is no  problem with only putting a small amount if the goal is just to find entertainment and with that small amoount I think everything will be better, it doesn't mean that with a small amount you won't get pleasure because the name of gambling is definitely all gamblers will feel the increase in the money  they bring when they are running a session, it will be useful to extend the duration of the session you are doing and also obviously I'm sure you will be able to get  quite a lot of pleasure during the ups and downs of the balance in your account..

On the other hand I think that if they have  to sell part of the assets they have just to gamble then obviously in my opinion their goal is not to seek entertainment but to make it.
2516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 31, 2023, 12:28:22 PM
You are right. Both teams played well. I would  say juventus were lucky so  they managed to get 3 points. Although  I expected to see the  victory of Juventus in this match.  Because Juventus' squad is stronger  than Roma's in comparison. However  if we had seen a better  performance from Lukaku in this match, maybe the result  of the match would have been different. Dybala's performance was good enough in this match, but Lukaku did not play well. We didn't see much of Lukaku's presence in the entire match either.
Juventus is quite successful when in a match they can score a goal before their opponent, and Juventus will try to score again if their opponent manages to equalize and unfortunately, Roma failed to do that so they had to accept defeat with this narrow score, and this time Lukaku failed to bring his team out of the game. pressure.
Juventus is of course very happy with this victory, especially since their competitor Inter Milan only managed to get 1 point against Genoa and that was quite disappointing, so the competition between the two teams is very interesting to always look forward to and this is a warning for Inter Milan because their competitors continue to stick closely to them and their position is not yet safe.
Congratulations to Juventus for winning their difficult match at home to AS Roma. Actually AS Roma performed well in this match, it's just that they always have difficulty when building attacks, I was personally not surprised when I saw it, because from the beginning Juventus had a good defense, so it was natural that they could again show a solid defense in this match.
The first half they did not create a goal, but entering the second half, Juventus could create a quick goal, I think it happened because the AS Roma players were not in a state of high concentration and Juventus could take advantage of it.
I actually didn't predict that AS Roma would play that bravely, because at the beginning I thought they would try to play their defensive strategy.

Of course they would have had many options, but I am convinced that Real Madrid is very happy to have found a solution with Ancelotti and to now have him as their coach for a longer period of time. Whether he gets sacked in the meantime, nobody knows. He can't afford any bad times with the team, but that would be the same for any other coach. I believe that for the time being the combo consisting of Ancelotti + the team is the best that Real Madrid can currently have. If they want to target Xabi Alonso in the future, I think it is still best if Alonso can gather some more experience with a team like Leverkusen and go to Real Madrid one day with full confidence.

It looks like this is a great decision for all parties, Ancelotti is a great coach and his departure could create a problem for Real Madrid as finding a good coach for such a team is not so easy. I also heard that Ancelotti will continue to work with the Brazilian team, but now I see that Ancelotti has extended his contract with Real until 2026. This is probably the right decision, if it brings good results for the team and Ancelotti is comfortable working here, then why change anything.
He will continue what he started, as most of the youth projects currently in the squad are due to his recommendations during his time at Real Madrid. That way he makes Real Madrid even more solid, because from what I see the young players who are in the squad now are not fully ready and still need guidance, especially from a coach who has experience, and Ancelotti is a coach who has that.
The plan he is building at the moment only lacks reliable forwards, from what is currently circulating Mbappe is a player who is on Real Madrid's recruitment radar. Actually this is nothing new, because Real Madrid has also been eyeing this player in the last few seasons. But Mbappe prefers club Francis.

Arsenal is playing against Fulham today. I think this another opportunity for Arsenal to gain another 3 point. I don't see this game as a threat for Arsenal. I'm expecting a win from Arsenal and 3 or more goals to be scored in this match.
Yes Arsenal have fallen far behind while Man City were behind them in the points table while Man city are ahead of them in the points table even though they are on par with them.  So this is a big chance for Arsenal to get 3 more points and overtake Man City and Aston Villa to occupy the 2nd position in the points table.  Hope Arsenal don't miss this opportunity as their opponent Fulham is much weaker than them.  So their win here is pretty sure.  Still, they should play with caution
3 unsatisfactory results received by Arsenal in their last 5 matches make them now ranked 4th in the standings with the same collection of points that Manchester City has. Aston Villa can take advantage of the momentum and at least for now they are ranked 2nd. Even so, Manchester City and Arsenal both have 1 match that has not been played and Aston Villaa has played it. Likewise with Liverpool who have the same collection of points as Aston Villa they still have 1 match.
Fulham will be the opponent of Arsenal this time, on paper Arsenal are superior, but that does not mean they will be able to win this match. Given that in the last week also the fact that they suffered a defeat from a club that was actually not better than them.
Arsenal must be careful in this match if they do not want to lose another victory that will make them further away from the competition.

There is really no team at the moment that is playing a perfect season. Real Madrid is strong, Manchester City isn't playing perfectly, Bayern Munich had some problems during the group stage in some games and there is no team in my opinion that looks so dominant at the moment that it has a unique favorite role in the Champions League. Arsenal has had some bad results despite playing quite well, but that doesn't mean a lot for the Champions League I believe. But Porto should be an opponent that Arsenal can handle. The coming weeks are important for them and there is also the FA Cup game against Liverpool next week.
If we talk about the perfect club we will never find one like that, maybe they never lose but they still draw. So far I've noted Leverkusen who can do that but they also still draw, yes even though they never lose. In football a draw will still count as an unsatisfactory result.
All with their own advantages and disadvantages, every time 2 clubs meet, they will always look for gaps where their opponent's weaknesses lie and if they can be utilized properly they will be able to win the match.
But other factors also sometimes affect the outcome of matches, one prominent example is luck. No matter how strong and how many chances a club can create, they won't be able to score if they are unlucky in the match.

After the New Year holiday, Dortmund will face three weak teams, they should be able to get 9 points to continue to maintain their chances of returning to the top four and securing a Champions League ticket.
Champions League ticket is made the top priority of every club that makes top four. Dortmund can easily fall back into the race since I don't see any important contenders, Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are temperamental clubs that will step down when their time comes. Borrusia Dortmund are not regarded a threat in the next 4-5 Bundesliga matches because they are unimpressive and have nothing to compete against. Edin Terzic will either make substantial purchases in the January transfer market in order to assist his club return to a competitive level. There is no time for any side to rest because everyone is focused on earning three points for their team's collective gain.

They are 6 points away from the club in the top 4 currently occupied by Leipzig. That's a pretty tiring distance to chase, but considering the number of matches remaining in the Bundesliha there are still a lot of points that are still very much in the chase. I think to be in the top 4 is still very doable, but I doubt if chasing the top of the table, because their point gap is now far away, and with the appearance of the club that occupies the top position, it looks like an impossible thing to do.
Indeed in football nothing is impossible, as long as there is still a chance as long as they still have a chance, but we also have to be realistic with what is happening at this time. Moreover, the ones they are chasing are also among the clubs that dominated the league for more than a decade.
