Guardiola has been also preparing some names that may be recruited soon. The name like dani olmo has also become main target to replace de bruyne since he has become even older than before. The coach needs to prepare a proper replacement once he will decide to join in saudi pro league club.
Pep is always thinking about how to make the squad become stable. He is always doing good transfer.
I think that's what Guardiola has to do to be able to find the right replacement in KDB's position, whereas what I see since KDB doesn't play for Manchester City, it seems difficult to get a win against a club that should be easy to beat, Manchester City isn't as good as last season. There's a difference. with their game this season it is clear that their strength seems to be decreasing in my opinion. Personally, it might be difficult for Manchester City to win the UCL title this season if Guardiola doesn't get the right players to be able to make Manchester City consistent. Haaland can sometimes be unreliable and continues to be on the front line. He needs a player who can be a second striker to be able to create power. Manchester City's attack is getting better and Manchester City's back line still needs improvement too. A replacement for KDB must be found as soon as possible because in the next season it is not certain that he will be able to appear competitive, but it is also not an easy matter considering the specifications of a midfielder like KDB are difficult to find. Currently Pep Guardiola can still cover the role left by KDB with Julian Alvarez but that is not yet optimal. Apart from that, sometimes a striker like Haaland can tap in in the opponent's penalty box and he needs a good supply of passes so that it can result in a goal. It was apparent that from the start of the group stage he was having difficulty scoring goals but finally in the last few matches he started to be productive again. Manchester City's defense is actually good and maybe they just need to carry out incentives again to strengthen it again. |

Richarlison has started to be linked with Saudi Arabia as a possible January transfer according to news. However I wouldn't expect this to happen. I mean Tottenham wouldn't like to let him go in the middle of the season in the first place. Even next summer they would think twice before letting this transfer happen.
Because they would need to find another good striker to fill his place in the squad. He is also one of the important members of the attacking line now. They would need to find the best replacement for him to make it worth for letting him go. But I'm curious about whether they have had any such alternative in mind so far.
But it seems like the Saudi league can't wait for January to return to hunting for players from the English Premier League and maybe the rumors regarding Richarlison are true considering the existing level of probability. In fact, it would be a bit of a shame if Richarlison left the most competitive league in the world too soon and if later he chooses to leave and join a Saudi league team, he will definitely have thought this through carefully. Now Spurs must be able to protect their player even though we know this season has not been very good for Richarlison. Moreover, with Spurs' injury list, they certainly don't want to lose another player in the middle of the season. Regarding alternatives, it is possible that Spurs have planned this and of course they will see first whether there are any good changes before January arrives. |

I don't see Monaco being a serious threat to PSG and if PSG can lead by more than 2 goals, of course it will be over for Monaco and they will definitely have difficulty equalizing. So I think PSG will win by any score and this will be what they deserve to maintain their top position from week to week.
PSG no doubts looks very much better in their form now and recently they have recorded more wins consecutively, in their last five matches they have won all and lost none while on the contrary Monaco has lost one and draw one while winning the remaining three in the last five games. PSG will be further facing Newcastle in the champions league, two day after they will be playing against Monaco of which both teams are beyond average and will definitely be tough on PSG so I think against PSG will really be finding it easy against Monaco because they will be trying to be careful to conserve some strength against Newcastle, most likely winning Monaco will be with a few margin because they would be trying to still stay fit for the next match in two days which is against another tough team. Two matches will be decisive in determining PSG's fate in the following week and they must win all of them. Both the Champions League and Ligue 1 are equally important for PSG and they must appear with a full squad to get maximum results. They must not be careless because defeat will only make their situation worse and it will be difficult to regain the place they have already won. On the other hand, I will wait for magic from Kylian Mbappe in the next two matches because he is still the key to victory for PSG in the previous few matches. An exciting match and it would be a shame if we missed the bet. |

AC Milan vs Fiorentina
An interesting match apart from the derby match between Juventus and Iter Milan in week 13, this match will determine the position of Milan and Fiorentina in the top four of the standings. Referring to the last four matches between the two, Milan have never won with two draws and two defeats, while Fiorentina won one win and the rest they lost.
Pioli squad has the advantage of playing at home, but this season the San Siro has also been a place where they have failed get full points several times, Rafael Leao injury and Giroud's suspension have been a major blow for Pioli, at a time when they need a complete squad to make good fortune in Serie A at the same time at UCL.
In the Fiorentina camp, Vincenzo also found several of his players in the treatment room due to injuries. Milan must be wary of Vincenzo ambition to bring his squad into the top four of the standings and must not be underestimated. However, I think this match will end in a draw, even though on paper Milan is superior. It is hoped that Milan will be able to stop their negative trend when they play Fiorentina in the next match. It's hard to believe that Milan lost quite a lot of points in their last 4 matches with 2 draws and 2 losses, but the probability of winning should be very good especially when they play at home. Of course it would be very bad if in the end Milan still failed to win the match against Fiorentina, but I can think otherwise where victory is something that is possible. ~snip~ This is a home match for Milan and at least they cannot get the same result with defeat as when they hosted Udinese and Juventus a few weeks ago. Fiorentina is a team that is quite difficult to beat and I think this will be a challenge for Milan to break the minor trend they have produced in the last few matches. It is quite difficult to determine the direction of the bet and even though Milan is the favorite, I prefer to bet on the over 2.5 result because at least the two teams will match each other's scores like the statistics in H2H. Apart from that, betting on the winning result of one of the teams is quite risky considering that both of them are quite evenly matched and have beaten each other in several previous meetings. |

Real Madrid was unlucky on the FIFA day and in the game between Colombia and Brazil, they got another injured player, 27 minutes after the start of the game, Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian player of Real Madrid couldn't continue the game against Colombia and this is bad news for Real Madrid because Vinicius Junior was recently in the good form and he is definitely an effective player for his team.  The injury suffered by Vinicius Junior adds to the long list of Real Madrid players who have been injured because previously there was Jude Bellingham, and the one who also suffered a new injury is reportedly their goalkeeper Kepa, and what is very unfortunate is that all of them are key players who have made Real Madrid perform well this season, if the player takes a long time to recover it will be very detrimental for Real Madrid but if on the contrary I think Real Madrid will be fine because their next three matches in Laliga and Champions League will only face mediocre teams Cadiz and Granada while in the champions league facing Napoli is not that important the result is because have confirmed that they have passed the group phase, there is even a chance of winning the group because Napoli if they can beat Real Madrid, are still 2 points behind and in the sixth match, Real Madrid will most likely be with their core players again and they will achieve victory. That's bad news to hear vinisicus was suffering injury again after the international break but it's less serious compared with the previous injury. I just read the news said that if vini will able to recover from his current injury as soon as possible. Real madrid is still having lots of great players on its squad no doubt that if ancellotti may be doing another rotation for the club soon. Im thinking about rodry will be filling vini's position while brahim or joselu will be playing as a right wing or attacker. Let's see what line up will be composed by ancellotti soon. I hope vini will able to recover again as soon as possible. The club really needs him to face the tougher competitions. Im thinking vini will able to comeback again next month. I hope his injury will able to be fully recovered. After carrying out a medical examination, it was reported that Vinicius had suffered a rupture in the bicep femoral muscle plus the distal tendon in his left leg and he was confirmed to be out for two and a half months. Very bad news for the Real Madrid winger and it is certain that 2023 is over for Vinicius. I didn't expect the injury to be that serious and being out for that amount of time will definitely make it a little difficult for Real Madrid to maintain its consistency. International breaks always bring pain to all players and things like this are the most feared of losing key players when the competition in the standings is increasingly competitive with other teams.

The previous landslide victory against Celtic put Atletico in first place in Group E with 8 points. However, this will not guarantee that they can qualify easily because the competition is still open with two other teams, namely Lazio and Feyenoord, who have collected 7 and 6 points respectively. These three teams each have a difference of 1 to 2 points and the remaining two matches will determine the fate of these three teams to qualify for the round of 16.
In my opinion, Atletico is still the favorite to qualify considering they are in the top 16 of the Champions League and maybe in second place we will see an exciting competition between Lazio and Feyenoord. Actually I prefer Feyenoord to qualify with Atletico, but sometimes Lazio's mentality in this competition cannot be underestimated and they have a good defense. So, I hope there will be surprises in group E later which will be no less exciting than the other groups.
Just like i said before the competition for the team who will be qualified in group E is belongs to 3 teams Atletico Madrid, Feyenoord and Lazio so these teams had equal chances to qualified but indeed if we see from the schedules Atletico Madrid is more hard compared to Lazio this because Atletico Madrid upcoming match is against Feyenoord although in the first meeting Feyenoord was lose but this team cannot easily to beated and at home Feyenoord records was very fantastic that from 8 latest home matches Feyenoord can able to gets 7 wins so these records is proven Feyenoord was very strong during playing at their home ground and even i was thinking probably Feyenoord can able to overcomes Atletico Madrid and if this really happend then Atletico Madrid will be in a difficult situation especially for 6th match they have to fight against Lazio But those are domestic league statistics and since this is a much more difficult competition, I think it will be difficult to maintain the lead even if Feyenoord plays at home. Atletico is not an opponent they can always face every season and I think Atletico's record is much better in the Champions League than several seasons ago as the top team. So in my opinion, even if it's an away game for Atletico, they will still appear confident and bring home the win. On the other hand, Lazio does have an advantage in the next match because it will be against Celtic and they will definitely get 3 additional points. So this competition will last until the final match of the group stage and we can still enjoy everything. |

Newcastle is interested in bringing in Ferran Torres from Barcelona and of course this will be his second club in the English Premier League after previously wearing the Manchester City uniform. We know that several seasons ago he rarely had a place at Barcelona and Xavi only seemed to need him when the team was in trouble. Apart from that, as a winger who can also sometimes be a striker, Ferran Torres' role is also important for Barcelona and can sometimes be the deciding player in Barcelona's victory.
On the other hand, Newcastle will definitely offer a good deal for Ferran Torres and that is certainly a fairly large fee that Barcelona will accept. But again, sometimes Barcelona depend on his role and I don't think they will let Ferran Torres go easily.
Ferran Torres does not get much time at Barcelona because he may often experience injuries so he loses competition with players, therefore Xavi can only back up Ferran Torres and will play when needed, obviously Ferran Torres is still young he can even develop again. It is still unclear how much the offer is from Newcastle whether this is a loan or not, because in fact Newcastle is being hit by several problems in the squad, many players are injured so they need attackers at this time, but I don't know if there are other options besides Ferran Torres? Indeed, he often suffers injuries and that may be one of the reasons why Xavi rarely plays minutes and on the one hand, his performance has also declined since then. But basically Ferran Torres is a pretty good player as proven by his several goal contributions for Barcelona this season when Lewandowski was less productive. Newcastle experienced a decline in performance after many of their players were absent due to injury and coach Eddie Howie seemed to have difficulty rotating his players so that the results could be better. Now they have no other option but to bring in new players in January and there is still no clarity regarding the offer. If I'm not mistaken, another player that Newcastle is also targeting is Raphinha from Barcelona and maybe Newcastle will depend on one of the results of this transfer later. |

Seeing Leipzig in the top 4 is normal and I am happy that this team does not lose its consistency every season. However, sometimes there are things that will prevent them from maintaining that position and Wolfsburg will indeed be quite a difficult opponent to beat. But in general, Leipzig can handle it and will continue to keep their distance from Dortmund's pursuit. The season is still long and I see it as just normal competition in the Bundesliga and maybe if Leipzig slips up, Dortmund will make good use of this to shift their position from the top 4.
A biggest surprise in this season is Bayer Leverkusen as they are improving more from the past season and currently stays at a first position with 31 points, 2 points more than Bayern Munich. It's no other word than very impressive performance from them. Another surprise is Stuttgart as they have a first season in top range of Bundesliga after many years. Leipzig at least have been regularly appearing in top range of Bundesliga recent seasons. Their performance in this season is good especially after they sold their most important defender, Gvardiol to Manchester City in the summer transfer season. Without the Croatian defender, they still maintain a strong defense system with only 18 conceded goals in Bundesliga. About this conceded goal aspect, Stuttgart is a big surprise with only 15 conceded goals so far and it is a basement for their success so far. Leverkusen and Stuttgart have appeared impressive so far this season and they are even competing at the top with defending champions Bayern Munich. Everyone really praised Leverkusen's performance, which was led directly by Xabi Alonso and made them one of the unbeaten teams in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart, which usually sits in the relegation zone, has made real improvements this season and we can see that their performance is also very stable and last time they managed to beat Dortmund. The fact that they lose players every season does not make Leipzig lose their routine to compete at the top and they can maximize this with the existing squad. They may have lost one of their talented defenders this season but at least they still appear consistent among other teams. The competition is still open and the point difference is not that big, whoever and whenever will make the Bundesliga more interesting with the existing changes. |

 Everton, which previously collected 14 points and was in 14th position in the standings, has now been thrown into the temporary relegation zone after being proven to have violated the FFP. The reduction of 10 points means that Everton now only get 4 points and they have to fight again to collect points in each match in order to be free from the relegation zone. Everton was hit with 1 charge and sentenced to a deduction of 10 points, what will happen to Manchester City who was hit with 115 charges? I was waiting for this question and yes, there are those who say on some social media that Manchester City should be relegated to the championship if these 115 charges are proven. However, we know that it is very difficult to punish elite teams in the English Premier League and the Manchester City case has been raised several times but still no punishment has been obtained. After learning about what Everton experienced, Manchester City is certainly starting to worry because they are getting worse in this indictment case and in fact this is a case that must be investigated immediately so that justice in the English Premier League team is evenly distributed and does not only harm one party. Imagine what would happen with these 115 charges for Manchester City, it is certain that this team will be destroyed in an instant and its players will definitely be left behind. |

PSG have been given @1.49 odds for the win against Monaco in Parc des Princes. I understand the thinking of bookmakers but I don't know. It still feels like this is lower than it should be. Because we are talking about an unbalanced team this season. But looking at the Ligue 1 table I can also see that impressive winning streak on one hand.
This is the main reason of these odds though. But Monaco have been a pain for PSG in their last three head-to-head games. They couldn't beat them in any of them. I wonder if we would see PSG breaking this cycle by a win this time.
Maybe I think otherwise and these odds are quite feasible for PSG because after all Monaco is one of the strong teams in Ligue 1 even though they are often less consistent. On the other hand, the meeting you mentioned is also enough to influence PSG's odds of winning to become more feasible and with this it is certain that PSG will be favored to win at home. I don't see Monaco being a serious threat to PSG and if PSG can lead by more than 2 goals, of course it will be over for Monaco and they will definitely have difficulty equalizing. So I think PSG will win by any score and this will be what they deserve to maintain their top position from week to week. |

The reduction of 10 points means that Everton now only get 4 points and they have to fight again to collect points in each match in order to be free from the relegation zone. This is the punishment that Everton must accept and it seems that they cannot do anything because the federation has decided that. I feel that Everton, who usually finish at the bottom of the table every season, now still have to repeat the same thing and of course they have to remain strong to get through this dark period. |

I agree with you that previously Leipzig could have been beaten by Wolfsburg, but in the next match Leipzig's chances of winning are very big because we have to look at the real strength that Leipzig has, even though they have been defeated, the performance of their current players is very ready to beat Wolfsburg in the match to come and I am quite confident that Leipzig can win to maintain their position.
Leipzig, who are already in the top four of the Bundesliga standings, will indeed try to win at home to Wolfsburg so that Leipzig cannot be overtaken by Dortmund, who in the next match will also try to win at home. So far Leipzig's performance has improved quite well and I am sure that the Leipzig players will continue to try to maintain their consistency in every match this season in order to put their team in the best zone in the Bundesliga this season. Seeing Leipzig in the top 4 is normal and I am happy that this team does not lose its consistency every season. However, sometimes there are things that will prevent them from maintaining that position and Wolfsburg will indeed be quite a difficult opponent to beat. But in general, Leipzig can handle it and will continue to keep their distance from Dortmund's pursuit.

Leverkusen was the only team to qualify from the group phase among all the teams in the European League group stage. They finished 4 games with a win and got 12 points and now only have 2 games left for them. Even if Leverkusen lose or draw, it will not change the results, especially since they are already ahead on goal difference. Apart from that, I think Leverkusen will continue to win the remaining matches and don't want to tarnish the positive results they have achieved in all competitions currently.
Now Qarabag and Molde will be the two teams that will play it out to get second place in group H and considering that they both have 6 points, of course this will be an exciting competition to look forward to.

Mazzarri can last only 1 month btw.
Napoli this month will face.
Atalanta, Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter and Roma.
Imagine if he does 3 points.
These three points will really disrupt everything that Napoli currently has and we must realize that at the beginning of his leadership as the new coach, Napoli will be given a tough task against this team. Maybe from these 5 matches, at least Mazzari must finish 2 to 3 matches with a win and if he doesn't do that it will be a bad record for his career. Even though in the end he couldn't produce maximum results, I think Napoli should give him time and besides, Napoli also chose him with the risks involved. So I think it's a bad start to a good end or nothing for Mazzari and there's a chance he'll leave sooner rather than later. |

 Previously, I discussed the injury suffered by Camavinga during a training session with the French national team and the latest news is that Camavinga will be absent until the end of 2023 because he suffered a ruptured knee ligament in his right leg. Apart from that, other players who suffered injuries were Vinicius and Ter Stegen and this was only confirmed today. Vinicius was withdrawn during the World Cup qualifier against Colombia and this is the second blow for Real Madrid after previously losing Camavinga. It is reported that Vinicius has returned to Madrid to undergo treatment and the results will be known later after passing the examination. Meanwhile, Ter Stegen is experiencing acute back pain and has left the German training camp. It is reported that Ter Stegen will return to Barcelona tomorrow to find out more about his condition and whether he will be fit for the next La Liga match. This seems to be a wound for Real Madrid and Barcelona who have lost key players in the international break and I can only hope that things get better soon. Ter Stegen news would be a huge blow for Barcelona during difficult times like this. Do they have a worthy and quality replacement for him in that squad? The international break have caused more hard to players in good form but what can they do? Nothing! They have to turn up and play for them countries when called upon. Even with a defense in disarray, Ter Stegen would make quality and die hard saves for his defenders and teammates. His absence could cost them alot, but then, another chance for yougins to show them talents. Vinicius has also said it's similar to the Injury he had before returning, it could also take some two to three months before he returns fully. Let's say, January would be peng! So far, Ter Stegen has never been replaced as Barcelona's starting goalkeeper and I think this is a major blow because they are completely dependent on the German goalkeeper. However, if you look at the Barcelona squad list, there is the name Inaki Pena and actually I don't know the quality of this goalkeeper but Barcelona have no other choice but to rely on him as a replacement for Ter Stegen for the time being. Vinicius did not have good luck even though he was starting to return to his best performance after previously only relying on emotion in every match and of course this time his duet with Rodrygo had to stop for a while. It is possible that Ancelotti will pair Joselu and Rodrygo again for their attack line. However, with the situation experienced by Barcelona and Real Madrid, it seems that Girona is the party who will benefit the most because they will be able to have more freedom with a complete squad. |

Timo Werner the German forward of Leipzig was not in a good situation recently and he could have too many chances to play for his team, however, Leipzig is not going to use this player easily because they already have good forwards and, to be honest, Leipzig had no problem, Werner. Now it seems Crystal Palace and Fulham both are interested in hiring Timo Werner for the loan in January.  I was wondering why Timo Werner rarely gets the chance to play this season and whether it is possible that his performance has declined so that he is unable to compete with Lois Openda who was brought in by Leipzig last summer. But competition in a club is normal and Timo Werner must accept this gracefully. Timo Werner is a good striker and it would be a shame if he only spent his time on the bench. I would prefer Timo Werner to go to Fulham rather than Crystal Palace because in terms of quality Fulham can still compete for the top 10 in the standings in the long term even though currently Fulham is quite mired at the bottom of the table. If the rumors come true and Timo Werner joins Fulham, of course their attack line will be better. However, if there are other loan offers from both teams, Timo Werner must consider his steps first before deciding. |

Inter may currently be at the top of the standings but they will face two difficult matches in the future in Serie A because not only are Juventus a difficult opponent for them but after that they will still face Napoli. It's about the points they have to defend and maybe in one of those games Inter will drop points.
We know that this season's Scudetto competition is still open to anyone, including Napoli, even though they have a 10 point difference from Inter, but if Napoli succeed in beating Inter, of course they will cut the point difference to even less. This will be a tough match and Inter will have to maintain what they have gained so far.
And from the history of Inter Milan's meetings with Juventus in Serie A, we can see that Juventus is always superior. So it is possible that Inter Milan will lose points in this match. Because the match will also be held at Juventus' home ground. So Juventus deserves to be the favorite in this match. And maybe Juventus will take 1st place from Inter Milan. But in the match against Napoli I still doubt that Inter Milan will lose. Maybe there will be a draw in this match. Unless Osimhen recovers and strengthens Napoli's attack line. Maybe Napoli has a chance to win. But I still don't know what Napoli's new coach can do at the moment. This fact is difficult to avoid and certainly Juventus will not waste this opportunity to shift Inter from the top of the standings. Playing in front of La Vechia Signora supporters will really be an additional boost for Juventus and that's why they have to win as much as possible with a difference of more than 1 goal. Regarding the match against Napoli, this will be a proving ground for Napoli's new coach Mazzari and of course he has to prove that he is worthy of managing Napoli, especially being able to beat Inter will be one of his best achievements this season. But it is true that Osimhen's performance in this match will determine whether Napoli can beat Inter or not. Even if Napoli fail to beat Inter, I quite agree that at least they should succeed in holding Inter to a draw. |
