Honestly, I don't expect Barcelona to win the El Clasico. Above all else, I think that Barcelona's first target will be to win against Inter in the Champions League. Because after that unexpected loss against Inter last, they are three points behind them in the group. If they lose points again they might really find themselves in the Europa League two times in a row. This would be really a mockery for most people.  I feel like Real Madrid won't lose in Santiago Bernabeu to them no matter what kind of a result Barcelona get against Inter. I expect Barcelona players to be quite fatigued after the Inter game. I don't expect the same from Real Madrid players against Shakhtar because they are already in a safe condition in the lead. I don't think Ancelotti would like to wear out his players too much right before the El Clasico. I'd just prefer to add both teams to score to my parlay and enjoy the El Clasico.  Real Madrid odds are slightly better than Barcelona. Their games in Champions League require more effort from Barcelona's players comparing to Real Madrid's one. Yet everything could happen obviously. I find Barcelona better but sometimes the concentration level is a bit lower which leads to disasters like what happened in Inter's match. Now in the next game vs Inter, it will be bad if Barcelona lose again. After 8 rounds in La Liga, Barcelona received only 1 goal at the opposite of CL where they received 4 in 3 games. |

Udinese 2 - 2 Atalanta is something that worth to stop for. I believe most people will tend to think that Atalanta will win this game but Udinese is showing a high level of resistance until now. Winning 6 matches in a raw including games vs Roma and Inter before getting a precious draw imo vs Atalanta. Meanwhile, Napoli is the one that profited the most from this by getting 3 points and staying alone in the first place.

With this draw, Bayern is stuck in 3rd place with the same points as Dortmund.
Meanwhile, the match between Freiburg and Hertha ended in a draw too, the host (Hertha) was really able to make a good defense, and the penalty goal that Hertha got in the 33rd minute was really bad luck for Freiburg. just waiting for the result of union vs VfB, it looks like the victory will belong to Union.
Freiburg dropping 2 points made the difference only 2 points between them and Bayern, while Union managed to win vs Stuttgart, although the odds were in favour of the latest team, so the gap is 4 points between them and Bayern. I doubt Union will keep the lead for long but honestly Bayern is lacking something to make them scoring and winning fluidly. |

Ramos received his next red card, this time for talking to the referee (apparently he insulted him). What a man! If I remember correctly, he is the Champions League red card record holder and close to the top in Real Madrid (I'm not sure top-1 because my favorite Pepe played there ), but the farm league? I wonder if Reims will be able to win or at least draw when playing in the majority? Still, this is a generally weak team. Ramos is holding the World? or European? record for the most red carded player or defender! I forgot exactly his record but I remember something close to 27 red card while the nearest one was 21? He will never change apparently  PSG was lucky that Marseille lost so they could stay in the first place. Losing points vs Reims isn't good to secure some distance from the others. Lens, the remaining team with 0 defeat, is 1 goal behind vs Lille. |

Benzema isn't that young so Ancelotti won't want to let him play and risk being injured if he isn't in his best form. Courtois is important for any top game so letting him recover is wise too. Next Sunday, Real Madrid will play vs Donetsk in Champions League then vs Barcelona. An important week in which Real needs its key players. BTW Barcelona is still leading with Pedri goal in the first half. |

Arsenal is in her best form. The determination of Arsenal players to win against Liverpool is glaring from the beginning of the match to the end. It is a victory well deserved for them.
Arsenal players have proven the fact that they are capable of winning a big or small team. They are no longer the boys they use to call them. They have grown into a stage that is ready to lift the premier league of the season.
Arsenal this season makes things very hard for the other teams especially City. It has been quite long time since gunners were performing like that. The victory against Liverpool with 3 goals to 2 was impressive. In the other hand, Liverpool instability is in its highest level since years.. 10th rank after 8 games with only 10 points and 2 victories  |

So far 3 draws in 3 of today's game. Dortmund picked a last minute win vs Bayern which was surprising  Leipzig - Mainz and Augsburg - Wolfsburg ended 1-1 both. Leipzig isn't competitive anymore. Wolfsburg dropped a lot in performance. In tomorrow's matches, Freiburg and Union could run with 4 points from both Dortmund and Bayern. Freiburg odds are quite better than Hertha but Union is lower than Stuttgart! |

Before the first half was completed, Dzeko scored in the 44th minute and thus scored his 100th goal in the serie A. Sassuolo scored with Frattesi's touch with his pressure from the flanks and the draw was achieved. At 75 minutes, Dzeko scored his second goal. After conceding the goal, Inter could not react for 15 minutes after conceding the goal. In the first attack, Dzeko scored. Golde had a comfortable cross and a comfortable header. Even though Inter didn't play that well in the match, they named a really important win.
A win is a win after all and Inter needed it a lot, especially that they are playing away and vs Sassuolo which is a tough team when playing vs top one. Milan won home vs Juve by 2-0. Such a bad result isn't good at all for Juve players and supporters. Allegri is on bad situation and the pressure on the team is quite high.. |

Almeria ended their bad run by beating Vallecano at home. Neither side played badly.
Atletico Madrid defeated Girona at home. This was their 5th win. Good news for them to stay in the race. Correa was the star of the game and they managed to win, even if it was difficult.
The Sevilla-Bilbao match continues 1-1. Sevilla changed their manager after a bad run of results. It's only a matter of time before they draw with in-form Bilbao.
Sevilla getting a draw vs Bilbao is a good thing regarding their bad performance lately. A change in the management might be beneficial, after all what's left for them to lose? ATM did well, I followed the first half and they can do better honestly.. Real Madrid will play in an half hour vs Getafe and they should win. |

Marseille and psg are likely to win their games today marseille team will play at home against the last team on the standings with only one win and one draw so far and the leaders psg against reims a better team than ajaccio but still psg will be much for them to handle i expect both marseille and psg to win easily.
Marseille defeat against Ajaccio 1-2 today wasn't expected at all! Didn't follow the game but it seems that Marseille were controlling it, yet they failed. That's mean that PSG, after winning vs Reims will get 5 points difference from Marseille by the 10th round. That's mean also that only PSG and Lens remained the only teams with 0 defeat for the moment. |

Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Manchester City have all won their respective matches. There are no surprises about these 4 matches, almost all of them are predictable. So all the home teams today won, this is of course good. https://i.imgur.com/2JVjwRe.jpgChelsea is getting better in the last 3 matches, they managed to collect 9 points from 3 matches and that looks like quite convincing. Manchester City continued their unbeaten run until week 9, they performed great in front of the fans who fulfill the Etihad Stadium today. Haaland, Foden, Mahrez and Cancelo each scored one goal, they are title favorites this season. Dunno if I can call Leicester defeat an expected one. They are in the worst shape since months and basically every team is passing them. You expect them to win every time, yet they are failing the hard way. The other teams won big this round. Spurs are playing right now and they are leading with 1 goal in the first half. |

Man U's game yesterday showed that their level of football is just right for the Europa League but not for the Champions League... They almost drew with Omonia, but that's not the worst thing... They should`ve never conceded a goal from Omonia, but they conceded not even one, but two... If they keep playing at this pace, they will be out of the league...
Manchester United has undoubtedly done poorly in the Europa League competition; their last two victories do not necessarily indicate that they will be the favorites to win the competition. If Eric Ten Hag wants to make the squad one of the favorites to win the competition, the team's style of play must be improved. They have been struggling in their own league in addition to the Europa League. Let's see whether they can improve in their upcoming match. I was quite surprised honestly when I saw the results for the first time. 2-3! I am wondering right now how far they could go in EL.. Lazio result wasn't good too. Roma lost 1-2 vs Betis. At least Betis is a good team comparing to the two others. |

It's hard for me to name a favorite in the TSG Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen match. Both teams are doing unexpectedly well this season, but a lot depends on their disposition on a given day, because they can play both a very good and a weak match. The theoretical home advantage will not necessarily matter as Werder Bremen gets more points in away games. In this match, I bet over 2.5 goals.
The game started more than half an hour ago and the result is 1-1 between Hoffenheim and Bremen. Bremen scored first then Hoffenheim got the draw. Chances for Hoffenheim to win are bigger so I assume there will be more goals coming. Bremen managed to get full points in this match because in the last minute a penalty from Nicklas Fullkrug managed to change the situation to 1-2. This is a good win for them because with this result they are still in the top 4 and of course this is something good for a team whose status is a promotion team this season. The good part is that another goal was scored in this game. The missed part is that Bremen is the one that scored and won and not Hoffenheim although their odds were higher after the draw. Anyway Dortmund - Bayern tomorrow 🔥 |

Lyon 1-0 Toulous
Lyon now leads 1-0 against Toulouse. Looks like Lyon will win the match. Lyon took a 1-0 lead with Tete's goal just 2 minutes into the match. The first half ended 1-0. Toulouse is playing defensively. Their attack is weak. Toulouse players may not want to increase the goal difference in the match. Lyon's players made several good attacks but were unable to break down Toulouse's defense. But they continued to try. Lyon will win today with a margin of 1-0 or 2-0.
Lyon continues its bad results with only 1 point after a 1-1 draw vs Toulouse. Whenever a team opens the score early, the final result will be generally the opposite.. Fortunately for them, Lille and Montpellier will have hard games so apart from Clermont, Lyon might lose only 1 place this round. |

Basically Osasuna and Valencia are teams that are used to finishing in the middle of the standings at the end of the season, but at this moment Osasuna is in a better position because Osasuna is in sixth place in the current standings. Also, at least Osasuna are in a good trend as they managed to draw against Real Madrid in the previous match, but for Valencia it was a difficult match in the previous match against Espanyol the team that was ranked lower in the standings. But even so I still can't underestimate Valencia at all, because in fact their goal productivity is very good so far and that's why this match no team is guaranteed to win on paper.
Osasuna 0-1 Valencia with few minutes remain from the end of the first half. As you said, Osasuna got a point from Real Madrid so I won't be surprised if they get a draw. |

Benfica played very disciplined in this match and of course this is a good thing for them. I really appreciate that, at least this can be a lesson for Galtier that Ligue 1 is very different from the Champions League.
Getting a lesson early at this stage is better than taking it later of course. Ligue 1 is lesser than the other top leagues (EPL > La Liga > Serie A) and close a little to Bundesliga. French are aware of that that's why they try to improve it. This season for example there will be 5 teams to be relegated and the league will contain from the next season only 18 teams. PSG will play against Benfica again next Tuesday and we will see if they get the lesson or not. |

Chelsea won that game home and it was important for them. Milan unfortunately didn't succeed and their chances to pass this stage in this group aren't affected since the difference between them and the first place (Salzburg) is only 1 point. They have to win the remaining games to pass or win 2 and wait for Chelsea to lose and get a draw.
Now in Serie A, Milan is favourite against Juve and they shouldn't lose, otherwise the gap will increase..
In Milan match against Juventus which will take place on October 8, Milan has a very high potential to get a win, so far Juventus has not looked good in every match, but this is the first phase in this match after a long break, maybe Juventus have a new strategy and had been prepared for the match against Milan. The game between Milan and Chelsea will take place on Tuesday, October 11. In Saturday October 8, Milan will face Juventus and Chelsea will face Wolves. It is clear which one has a tough time here The other thing is that Milan and Chelsea have close odds but chances are a little higher for Chelsea next Tuesday. |

Chelsea have continued to show positive results since Graham Potter took charge of the team, finally they could beat AC Milan in the Champions League with a score of 3-0. In the next match in the Premier League they will face Wolves FC. With the appearance of their opponents at this time, Chelsea should be able to do the same as they did against AC Milan. Good opportunity to increase trust in them. We'll see if they will repeat the success in the previous match or not.
A positive result doesn't mean that Chelsea recovered obviously even if they won big vs a good team like Milan. They need to keep winning and stay stable. The match between them and Wolves is relatively easy and they should win without problem. The next game will be vs Milan again in San Siro. Now winning there will have another taste |

The draw against Osasuna did not make Real Madrid weak, as well as Karim Benzema's failure to execute a penalty kick.
Even though Madrid failed to continue its positive trend by winning every game, it doesn't mean that Barcelona will automatically win the title this season.
Agreed, The problem is sometime the small time can give the big team a tough game for sure. Benzema is not performing so well and i know it. It must not a problem for real madrid. The season is still long. There are lots of thing will happen anytime. I just wanna try to know the fact that if real mdrid can lead the la liga anytime. Im not feeling worry about that. This season is way harder than the previous one since Barcelona is on top form comparing to the previous seasons. They won't let Real Madrid get a gap this time and I believe the winner of the title will be decided by the last 1-2 games. For Real Madrid, they need Benzema, missing a penalty could happen to everyone but the essential part is to get in form rapidly after the injury. This is important for his club and his national team. |
