Betis - Atletico Madrid match is continuing just in the way that I expected. Atletico Madrid have just scored a goal and got 2-1 ahead by the way while I'm typing this. Cheesy

But this match is still a big candidate to end in a draw from my point of view. This is an important match for Betis too. Because if they lose this match, they will go down to even the fifth position in less than no time. Because Barcelona won against Elche today also. Betis are still one of the most impressive teams of the season though. And I would like to see them in a European tournament definitely.

I wasn't wrong about my prediction for the Manchester City - Manchester United match. I didn't expect Manchester United to do the same Tottenham did in this stadium. In fact, their effort in the first half was really awesome and played at the same level with their opponent. But they were out of the rivalry completely after that. I really don't know how they gave up on the match all of a sudden. And this caused them to get an embarrassing loss by 4-1 as a result. Tottenham were much better than this.

As Mainz didn't have the minimum requirements for the number of players to start the match, their fixture against Dortmund has been postponed. Bayern Munich are still very close to winning the Bundesliga title logically. And I have zero doubt that they will win it. Dortmund can't get close to them more than a six-point gap. In this situation, Bayern Munich players must be feeling good. But they shouldn't be happy with their last result of course and I'm sure that they will make up for it next time.

The Napoli - Milan match is going on very interestingly now. The first half was quite balanced. Milan started the second half very quickly by scoring a goal. And Giroud is such a special and important player in this kind of big matches really. He scored the goal and it looks like he will play the biggest role if they manage to defeat Napoli here. But as they found the goal very early, Napoli have plenty of time to answer that. But we will see if they will manage to do it. Milan are a good team when it comes to keeping their advantage against top teams in the league.

Newcastle have been one of the attention getting teams for many weeks and they were great again this time against Brighton. They had a home match and destroyed Brighton by 2-1. I'm happy for Newcastle side as they are getting better every week and getting away from the relegation zone also. They must stay in the Premier League at the end of the season to create a brand new lineup for next season. Because none of big players would like to come to them if they go down to the Championship.

James Harden must be enjoying his game at 76ers now. His statistics so far proves this I think. And he was great last night too against Cavaliers. He had a big role in the victory there. But the game was still really close as Cavaliers made a big effort too. They also are one of the very impressive teams this season and they really seem like they will do a good job in the playoffs like I think the same about 76ers too. We can watch a really interesting playoff stage this time I believe.

Real Sociedad are a so lucky team right now as they have still not conceded another goal from Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid have an incredibly high dominance that Real Sociedad can't even shoot. They have only one shot so far which was a penalty goal. Real Madrid should be able to score the relieving goal after controlling the match completely like this. They wouldn't like to come across any surprising goal in the last minutes. It would be really sad for them not to win this match despite not giving any chance to their opponent.

Inter are definitely a big club and there is no doubt about it. They are one of the strongest clubs in the Serie A now. But they are in a really desperate situation in the Champions League currently. Because they already lost their home match by 2-0 in the first leg. And in Anfield, I see a low chance for Inter to even draw with Liverpool. We all know how much Liverpool are dominating their home matches this season. They are always eager to win in this kind of matches no matter what. And they will do so in this match too I think.

Manchester City will be in search of a nice victory against Manchester United on the coming match week. This is a derby match maybe but Manchester United don't seem to be good enough to bring a huge fight to Manchester City now. And this can make Manchester City's job much easier to be honest. Some people said that Tottenham shocked Manchester City in Etihad. Yeah, I know about it too but I don't expect the same thing to repeat itself here again as long as Manchester United have a passive performance. They are an attacking team but I'm sure that they won't be able to play the way they'd like against Manchester City.

Odds are incredibly good for ManU @7.4 Roll Eyes

It is like City is facing a team near relegation zone and not the 4th team in the table..
Since West Ham will face Liverpool, I assume Arsenal will take the 4th place once it win against Watford this round.

Yeah, it is really attracting. Grin

Manchester United can be given a chance in a parlay full of surprise choices. Or one can try their luck by betting on only that. But it really seems difficult to me that Manchester United can be another team that are giving a big shock to Manchester City in Etihad. Tottenham did a really huge job but their luck helped them also. Because they didn't have so many goal opportunities then and benefited from the ones they got in the best way possible. I doubt Manchester United can do the exact same thing.

I won't be surprised if Dortmund get away more from Bayern Munich in the standings by this week. I'm aware that Bayern Munich will have a tough match ahead but they are still the most reliable team of the league. And I think they won't do any mistake by losing points at the end of this match. But the real problem is Dortmund. They are not a predictable team at all. Normally, I'd expect Dortmund to beat Mainz without looking at if it's an away or home match. But it won't be surprising to see them getting a negative result in this.

It was not hard to predict the result of the Inter - Salernitana match correctly. Inter got ahead by 2-0 in the first half and they have just scored the third goal too. This comfortable match should be effective about boosting their morale for their future matches in the Serie A. Because they will really need to maintain a good form to keep their chance for the league title. They are not going to have an easy title this time like they had last season. Napoli and Milan both are very eager to win the title too.

Alaves - Sevilla match is going on by a 0-0 tie for now and it is halftime. And so far, Sevilla's performance has been really inadequate. Alaves had the match under control and they had similar statistics. Sevilla must improve their game in the second half otherwise things can be really dirty for them. Alaves might even shock them by winning this match. I really don't understand how Sevilla can play this bad in an important match like this. If they lose any points here, the point difference between them and Real Madrid will go up most probably.

We have an interesting match three days later and it is Betis - Atletico Madrid. There is only a one-point gap between them and Betis are ahead in the current standings. Considering the forms recently, there is not any difference as they both won thrice and lost twice in last five league matches. I still see Betis being a little ahead as they have an advantage of playing a home match. But I think that this game is most likely to end in a draw. I expect a solid resistance from both sides until the end.

Inter would absolutely destroy Salernitana in Giuseppe Meazza. I have zero doubt about it as they really need this victory right now. And they are most probably the new leader too. Because I don't believe that Napoli can beat Milan at this weekend. Milan defeated Inter not much time ago and they would aim the same thing in this match too. Even if they fail about it, this match would still end up with a draw and we would see a draw with goals also. Both of them wouldn't have any problem on scoring in this match.

Bucks - Heat can be a really interesting game tonight and Bucks are the favourite by an odd like 1.55 now. They played against each other three times so far in this season. Heat played two home games and won both. And Bucks played one home game and won it too. And here, Bucks are the home team again. I think that they will get another win but I still expect a really competitive game and a small score gap at the end. And my expectation from Giannis will be really big in this game. When he shows a solid performance, they win mostly.

It is no longer speculation. The news is official! Roman Abramovich has released a statement that he wants to sell Chelsea football club regretfully. Roman Abramovich has won every trophy as owner of Chelsea FC 19years. 21 trophies. He will be missed by the EPL
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12555799/chelsea-owner-roman-abramovich-i-have-decided-to-sell-the-club

I have heard some news about him if it is true of course. It has been said that Roman Abramovich is going to donate the money that comes from the selling of Chelsea football club. He wants to donate the money to Ukraine to support the resistance against Russia. This is very generous of him and even this is enough to show how great personality he has. He is also a Russian but he doesn't support Putin in this. I wonder who will be eager to buy Chelsea. We might see some significant changes too after that.

Liverpool - West Ham also is a good match to watch besides the Manchester derby in my opinion. Because the result of this match also will be really critical for the race for the league title. Liverpool must continue to win not to get away from Manchester City in the standings. And they are going to play their match before the derby I mentioned. Maybe their beating West Ham could affect Manchester City players psychologically a little too. But I still think that Manchester City would play very professionally without looking at the result of the Liverpool - West Ham match.

Barcelona are the most impressive team recently. Maybe they have no chance for the championship now. But if they had this performance and effort as of the beginning of this season, they would have definitely been in the competition to reach the La Liga championship. But at least, they are giving hope for their supporters for next season. They can put up a great fight against Real Madrid next season I believe. Real Madrid are going to strengthen their lineup a lot but we can still watch a great competition then.

Arsenal and Tottenham have still more chance than Manchester United and West Ham for the fourth spot in the standings now. Because Arsenal have three missing matches and Tottenham have two. And the point gap with Manchester United - West Ham duo is really small. When they play all of their missing matches, they can get ahead of that duo and we can watch a bigger competition between Arsenal and Tottenham maybe. But it is still hard to be sure about something. Because none of these teams are very consistent these days.
