With the look of things nobody would believe that Manchester City will win the English Premier League this season. Arsenal has lost the chance of winning the Premier League title, because they have dropped point to the club nobody expected them to lost point to, it is so painful that after all the struggle at the end they lost the league title to Manchester City or any other size.
I still see some Arsenal fans having hope that they might still win, but to me I don't think so, Arsenal wasted the opportunities they had in their last three matches, if they won those matches, they will have been leading Manchester city with nice points but they wasted those points, now Arsenal will be playing against Manchester City, then Chelsea, and Newcastle. Let's assume Chelsea shouldn't be a difficult match for them since we know Chelsea are not really in form, but it will be kind of difficult for them to win Manchester City and Newcastle. It's normal if Arsenal fans hoping this team will win the race for the title because Arsenal haven't been in a situation like this in a long time and usually on the previous seasons Arsenal always be struggling to fight for top 4 and now their chances is wide open to gets first trophy after 21 years so i am sure the fans always be excited to wait whether Arteta will make a history with Arsenal or not The match against Manchester City is similar just like a final match for them and Arsenal should be giving their best for this match and no more room for mistakes because we all know currently Manchester City is one of the most dangerous team in premier league and europa and win result is mandatory for Arsenal |

It is something weird and unexplained with Barcelona defense system which looks like a solid rock in La Liga but suddenly becomes more fragile in Champions League and Europa League.
In my opinion, their defense system is not too strong but it is supported well by their midfield and attacking systems which all together help Barcelona to have high ball possession which in turn helps them to reduce risk on their defense system. They managed to do it successfully in La Liga but failed to repeat it in both Champions League and Europa League.
Agree with your opinion because i think Barcelona still has a weakness especially from their defense and in the several of matches that i can see Barcelona defenders still cannot anticipate against the teams that have dangerous counterattacks but Xavi has covered those weaknesses with playing more aggresive for each matches and high pressing to their opponents and it proven from their statistics in Laliga that Barcelona has 60% ball possessions for almost every matches and apparently Xavi has managed to restore the original Barcelona game like when Messi was still on this team and the result is Barcelona almost be certain to win Laliga title |

If Nagelsmann is still coach of Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich should have been doing better. I don't believe Tuchel is incompetent for Bayern Munich, I just know Tuchel came at the wrong time which won't be possible for him to make it .
If you become a great coach can you make a great club in a short time, I don't think you can do it either or even if there is a great coach in the world can you make a great club in a short time, not all defeats are entirely the fault of coach , look at the players as well as the others, all Munich players are great players so it will take time for Tuchel to arrange the formation and strategy he wants. I don't expect Tuchel to be sacked because he has only been in Munich for a few games, as you said he came at the wrong time, so there is defeat and chaos of course tuchel will be the most to blame, I think tuchel hasn't found a good formation as he should he hopes so just wait to see Munich in the next few matches and hopefully he can bring Munich to win the German league this season. Agree with you that great coach should be solved club problem with short time and for an example Leverkusen that this team has poor performance before and since Alonso arrived he can improve the performance of this team within short time and now Leverkusen has safe from relegation zone and joined the race for european zone spots and actually Tuchel has come to Bayern when this team don't have worst situation and Bayern even still the favourite champion for DFB pokal, champion league and Bundesliga And now Bayern only playing at bundesliga only and their position also doesn't really good especially after defeated by Mainz their position were taking over by Dortmund and imagined if Bayern has failed to showed their consistency and Dortmund being an the champion of bundesliga and i am sure Tuchel will be sacked this summer |

The last game of the week is going to be Atalanta - Roma tomorrow night. Atalanta are shown as the closest side to win by bookmakers right now.
They won against Roma away before as well. However I still don't find these odds very true for this game. Because Roma's recent form is much more impressive than their opponent's. Besides I like their game more recently. Roma's away performance these days isn't very impressive though but they won the last one. Maybe this can be some extra concentration for them to maintain a winning streak in away games. But I think it is less risky to bet on both teams to score instead despite knowing their previous game ending by 1-0.
Roma in the good mentally especially after eliminated Feyenoord and advances to semifinal match on europa league and in Serie A also Roma has got 3 winning streak with cleansheet status so i have to say Roma recent performance were very stable because they can able to managed their performance for several different competitions and for Atalanta they starting this match is not in the good shape and Atalanta still unable to bouncing back because in the last 8 matches Atalanta only able to win 2 times but according to the odds Atalanta is the favourite than Roma Atalanta @2.37 Draw @2.95 Roma @3.10 It's hard to picked who is the winner of this match because Roma sometimes displayed poor performance while playing away and for Atalanta too seems they have a problem during playing home because recently Atalanta has lose against mediocre teams such as Lecce and Bologna at their home but considering Roma performance is better than Atalanta i think there is a chance for Roma to win the match |

Talking about AC MIlan's progress in the Champions League, I agree that this team is a team that has very good experience, it's just that they have experienced a decline so that at times they have failed to compete. But now that they are slowly coming back from their long slumber, I hope they show again that they are one of the big teams in the Champions League. Now we just have to see what they will do in the semifinals.
AC Milan has won the Champions League 7 times. is the second club that has the most Champions League trophies after Real Madrid. while the first position in the acquisition of the most trophies is still held by Real Madrid with a total of 14 trophies. So that Ac Milan and Real Madrid are the two teams that do have the most experience in winning titles in the Champions League. and now AC Milan has the opportunity to advance to the final and fight for the trophy this season. But I see that AC Milan is currently not good enough to win the title this season. AC Milan used to might be have good history with 7 titles but we have to see the current fact that other teams such as Real Madrid or Manchester City had better performance compared to them even these teams is stronger than Milan and indeed after long time finally we see Milan will fight for champion league title again although since the beginning of season people were underestimate them and against Inter i am sure both teams will give their best for this match because they want to made a history Milan opponent Inter were return to winning ways today after humiliated Empoli with huge scores 3-0 and this maybe good sign for Inter because i am sure this result will boosted their mentally but it's hard to predicted who is the winner of this match because their conditions is not so different but my predictions is although Milan or Inter will advances to final match but they will not going to win the title and i think the champion of this season is between Manchester City or Real Madrid |

Barcelona and Roberto Firmino have had a verbal agreement.
Firmino has agreed to join Barcelona for free at the end of his current contract at Liverpool. His contract ends this July.
Klopp would have likes Firmino to remain at Liverpool but Firmino is hell bent on moving on to another club.
Personally, I don't think this is good decision from Barcelona. There is no point having a 31 year old as the back up striker of a 34 year old. Firmino is in decline currently. Barcelona needs a young and promising striker to be the back up for Lewandoski not a declining striker.
He could able to make some important goals with Liverpool this season but indeed he lost his place in starting lineup because Klopp was more likely to playing other players such as Gakpo to his position in the team and in my opinion verbal agreement doesn't guarantee Firmino will choose Barcelona as his new club because some of big teams in europe still interested to him But if this rumour is true i think Barcelona has clever moved with signs him because with firmino quality he still able to performing well besides that Barcelona will get him for free and although Firmino isn't categorized as young player anymore but with his current age i think Firmino still capable to playing at high level of competitions such as Laliga |

France league have big match today between Lyon vs Marseille and we all know both teams in the positive trend especially Lyon that this team can able to collect 15 points from 7 matches and unbeatable so this is their good achievement so far because previously Lyon performance looks unstable and today their consistency will be tested against strong team Marseille
Marseille most likely wouldn't compete for race title with PSG because with only 7 matches remaining and 11 difference points then it's near to impossible for them to taking over PSG position and now Marseille only will compete with Lens for runner up position because if they can able to finish on that position then Marseille automatically can advances to group stage champion league without through qualification matches
This match actually is really hard to predicted because both teams had equal conditions and for squad too i didn't see any problem for them because their players in the good shape and only Saël Kumbedi who not in the Lyon starting lineup because of suspension and i can see Lyon were several times beat Marseille at home and maybe they will do the same thing today and Lyon win had high odds @2.60

Inter vs Empoli
In the last meeting surprisingly Empoli has been beat Inter with slim score and today Inter want to get revenge besides that Inter has passed 5 matches in Serie A without the winning results so Inzaghi will attempts to bringing Inter return to winning ways and actually it's not difficult to beat Empoli because recent performance from this team also is not so different because Empoli only able to win once from 5 latest matches
Inter is very different this season that they were performing well in champion league and Copa Italy but in Serie A Inter has failed to showed their consistency and now their position is in danger because if Inter cannot able to get positive results for upcoming matches then it's hard for them to finish at champion league zone so i wish Inter will have strong motivation to win today and beat Empoli
Starting lineup has been released today that Inter will do some rotation and in the front lines Inzaghi will used Joaquín Correa and Romero Lukaku and for the midfielder Robin Gosens and Raoul Bellanova will be played since the beginning of match and about betting options Inter win probably the best picked today and this option has odds @1.60

Finally Dortmund were able to taking over first position from Bayern apparently they know this is good momentum for them to get first place again after Bayern lose from Mainz and i can see based on their statistics that Dortmund are taking initiative to playing more attacking and the result is very satisfied because they can able to win with big scores and since winter Dortmund has through 14 matches and scoring 41 goals and this is very good achievement which is Bayern Munich even cannot able to do that
Next match for today between Freiburg vs Schalke and Schalke might be weaker than Freiburg but this team can playing unpredictable and the latest is they can able to win with scores 5-2 from Hertha Berlin so Freiburg should be careful to them but indeed i have no wonder why the bookie placed Freiburg as the favourite because in the last 4 meetings Freiburg can win all those games even with clean sheet records and with host factor and meetings records probably Freiburg can able to overcomes Schalke and the odds for Freiburg win is @1.80

Big match between Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid that we all know Atletico Madrid had outstanding performance in Laliga recently so this is hard match for Barcelona especially in the last 2 matches Barcelona were failed to scores goals and win so Xavi should be utilized this match to return to winning ways but i don't think it will be easy because although Barcelona still unbeatable from Atletico Madrid if playing at home but Atletico also became the team who cannot easy to defeated and the recent head to head statistics has been showed Atletico can make Barcelona get in trouble because Atletico can steal points from them several times
For team conditions i can see Barcelona players mostly in the good fitness and all of the players will ready to play and for Atletico Marcos Llorente will be unable to play because of suspension and about the match i am sure Barcelona will be dominated the match because it's Atletico habit to always be playing with defensive style and whoever the winner of this match probably will ended with slim score but this time i feel like Barcelona will be able to collect 3 points from this match and the odds for Barcelona is @1.93

It weren't easy win for Liverpool that i can see Nottingham Forest were performing well and their counter attack were very danger and indeed Liverpool also lucky because at the end of second half Brennan Johnson almost be equalized the scores and maybe if his shot didn't hitting the crossbar probably Liverpool only able to collect 1 point from this match and although Liverpool win but i didn't satisfied to their performance because they were unable to playing such as they beat Leeds last week
On the other hand finally the winning streak from Aston Villa has been stopped by Brentford and during the match Aston Villa were dominated the match but they unable to created good opportunities to scores goals and Toney has been save Brenford from loses but this result is very favourable for Liverpool because now Liverpool only have 1 difference points below to Aston Villa

If their gameplay doesn't change much in the second half, then I'm sure the 0-1 score will last until the end of the match. Because it looks like Bayern Munich is still not completely good because it seems like Tuchel is still studying the right tactics and strategies for Bayern Munich so that at this moment Bayern Munich's performance is not fully maximized.
What we expected turned out wrong, mate  . Mainz crushed Bayern Munich unexpectedly in the second half due to 3 goals scored by Ludovic Ajorque, Leandro Barreiro and Aaron Martin for Mainz. Even to defend and not concede 1 goal Bayern Munich couldn't do it, they played too much holding the ball but didn't make many shot attempts at the Mainz goalkeeper. I'm curious how Borussia Dortmund will see this opportunity to return to 1st place in the Bundesliga standings, I hope they win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Just look at to Mainz statistics match that they only have 26% ball possesions but from it Mainz can able to win the match and after Mane scored goal i thought Bayern will continue their domination in this match and scores more goals but apparently i was wrong about that because in the second half Bayern has been showed poor performance and poor coordinations between their defenders and the consequence is Bayern have to conceded 3 goals from it and after this result i am sure Bayern management will be regret to their decision why sacking Nagelsmann in rush I wish Dortmund will be able to take advantage of this match by win against Frankfurt so Bundesliga will be more interesting again if Dortmund win from Frankfurt and taking over first place from Bayern and on the paper this match is not so hard for Dortmund especially they have good records from meetings statistics |

Salernitana vs Sassuolo, ended with a score of 3-0. After six matches that ended in draws, now Salernitana has success to win and get three points, that's also with a very good score at there. It seems Salernitana are very safe because now they have 33 points, and they have a 7 point difference with team which currently in the relegation zone. Meanwhile Sassuolo showed bad performance they couldn't scored in that match, although they also had some good opportunity there.
I do not understand what happend to Sassuolo because if they playing against strong teams Sassuolo seems had strong motivation to win and Roma, Juventus and Atalanta has been defeated by them but if Sassuolo against weak teams it seems they were lost their motivation to win and before Salernitana who can able to beat them Verona also has successfully to collect 3 points from them For Salernitana this result is really important for them because currently they have 7 difference points above to the teams in the relegation zone but i think their positions still not fully safe especially Salernitana had hard schedules because after this match they have to faced some of strong teams such as Napoli, Atalanta and Roma so Salernitana have to hard struggle to avoiding relegation zone |

Auxerre vs Lille
On the paper obviously Lille is more better than Auxerre but recent performance from Auxerre also looks impressive that Auxerre has got 3 winning streak from Nantes, Ajaccio and Troyes so this match won't be easy for Lille and what i don't like from Lille is their inconsistency this season and the latest is Lille lose from the team in the relegation zone Angers and today too against Auxerre i highly doubt they will collect 3 points from this match
Lille will only lost Benjamin Andre because of suspension and for Auxerre Akim Zedadka will be unable to played because of card accumulation but besides them all of players will be available to play and Auxerre had strong motivation to avoid relegation zone so i am sure they will attempts to gets the winning results in the remaining matches of Ligue 1 and today too although Lille is the favourite but i would like to pick Auxerre win for this match and this option has high odds @5 or probably other options such as both teams to scores as safe bet

Real Madrid vs Celta
We all know chasing Barcelona is very difficult for Real Madrid because although mathematically Real Madrid still have any chances to cut points gap but if we see the consistency of Barcelona then it's hard for Real Madrid to defend on their title and now i think Madrid had a different mission that they have to focus for each matches remaining because Atletico only has 2 difference points below to them so they have to secured their positions from Atletico
Celta is not in the good shape that from 3 recent matches Celta only able to collect 2 points and this should be an easy match for Real Madrid especially Madrid were unbeatable from Celta since 2017 and about team conditions both teams aren't have big problem because so far there were no key players who got injured and Celta only losing Hugo Mallo because of suspension and Real Madrid has odds @1.32 and this is not the best odds which we expected but i think it's easy money if picked this option

AS Roma seems underdog team not any favorite but success lead to semifinal, they will face Bayern Leverkusen have quit well performance after arriving Xabi Alonso and success help Leverkusen have better well standings in Bundesliga and great achievement in Europe League.
Italian teams were very dominant for european competitions this season because they were send their representative to champion league and europa league semifinal matches and if Roma can able to beat Leverkusen and Juventus beat Sevilla then probably we will see all Italian teams for the final match and regarding Roma vs Leverkusen i think this is interesting because previously Alonso as a player has been trained by Mourinho while they were together at Real Madrid and looking forward to see which team will advances to final match We all know Mourinho is the manager with plenty of experience in european competitions and it could be big challenge for Alonso to beat him but this is good achievement for Leverkusen because this is first time for them after 21 years never reaching the semifinal and according to the odds in the first leg i can see Roma is the favourite but i have no wonder about that because at home for Europa league Roma is the team who hard to beated |

It just only Southampton and almost every teams in premier league can able to beat them but Arsenal even have to conceded 3 goals until 87 minutes before Ødegaard and Saka can equalized the scores and i think they were lucky didn't lose from this match because although Arsenal good for ball possessions and total shots but Southampton were playing with outstanding performance
3 points from 3 matches this is not good because their positions were in danger and i have remember that Gary Neville has been give a statements about Arsenal that if they can able to beat Liverpool at Anfield then they will deserved as the title but in fact Arsenal were unable to beat Liverpool and since that Arsenal looks lost their rhythm and next match against Manchester City is similar such as final match because whoever the winner of this match probably will being an the champion of this season

Real Madrid will win this year again, they have the squad, Manchestercity don't have much champions league experience. it will be tough game but Real madrid will qualify at the end. whosever qualify will lift the tiitle. Ac milan and Inter milan has shown that italian football is improving rapidly.
I also think Real Madrid will win this season. But I don't agree that Manchester City have a worse squad. They have great results this year, but as you said, Real have more experience in the Champions League. It will still be very difficult for them to beat Manchester City, especially away. According to Real Madrid records from european competitions champion league and europa league so far they had reach to semifinal matches 32 times and this is the highest records if we compared to other teams in europa so this proven Real Madrid has ruler europe and probably their records cannot be pursuing by other teams and from it we can see Real Madrid is the strongest team in this competition especially Real Madrid has collect 15 champion league title I wouldn't underestimate Manchester City and Real Madrid because these team had equal chances to advance to the final match and so far Real Madrid is the toughest team that Manchester City will faced and if Manchester City can able to overcomes Real Madrid i think certainly they will being an the champion of this competition because final match will be more easy for them because only faced Inter or Milan which is in the term of consistency Manchester City is more better |

Leverkusen vs Leipzig could be interested match to watched because both team recently has been showing positive trend that Leipzig has got 3 winning streak in all competitions and Leverkusen also has just eleminated Saint-Gilloise in europa league and i will considers both teams had equal strength because although Leverkusen had lower position on standings league but their progress were amazed me but Leipzig also had important mission that to secured their place in the top 4 from Freiburg
From fitness condition i think Leipzig is more favourable because they focus to bundesliga only and the opposite conditions from Leverkusen because on this thursday they just played for the european competition and i am sure some of players will feeling fatigue so Alonso probably will do some rotations to keep his players in the good fitness
There was a good news for Leipzig fans because last week i can see Christopher Nkunku has return to playing and i think this is indicated he already recover and probably will be played since the beginning of match tomorrow and this will increase the strength of Leipzig front lines and this match actually hard to predicted but in my opinion Leverkusen has slightly chances to win the match and recently Leverkusen were very strong at their home even Bayern have lose from them at that time and the odds for Leverkusen win is @2.55

If I'm not mistaken, there is only one game in the Premier League today. Arsenal will play Southampton today. Arsenal made a lot of mistakes in the last games. And they've lost incredible points in the last 2 weeks. But I don't think they will make a mistake in this match against Southampton. Because they don't have the luxury of making mistakes anymore and Southampton will be an easy opponent for them. Moreover, they will play this match at their home ground. I think they will win this match easily and will wait for the results of the other matches. Today, they can manage to make them forget their bad games of the last weeks in this match.
Yep today's schedule has only one match where Arsenal will host Southampton. Honestly, I still hope a lot with Arsenal now especially if they see their current opponent is Southampton, of course their great expectations of winning are clearly very high in this match. I see the current odds of 1.21 for Arsenal seems to be their very real favorite in this match. But on the other hand, hopefully the hopes and favorites of the bookmakers will not be too deviated from reality later considering their current condition can be said to be vulnerable even though losing is a small possibility that is not even possible in this match but for a draw it is still possible for that. I have no wonder to see the odds for Arsenal will be very low because Southampton is very weak this season they even strong candidate to being an relegated because from 31 matches Southampton only able to gets 6 wins and 20 lose and on paper this should be easy match for Arsenal although in the last 2 meetings Southampton were unbeatable from Arsenal but currently is different that Arsenal is too strong for Southampton especially if Arsenal will playing with full team This is crucial match for Arsenal so 3 points is mandatory to keep their gap points with Manchester City and about team conditions both teams in the good shape and all of their key players will ready to play and about bet option i know the odds @1.21 is very low but i think it's safe bet because Arsenal certainly will going to win the match |
