To be honest, I thought that Everton would put an end to their bad streak by getting a win against Leicester. In the end, Leicester were another derailed team in the league this season so far. I was afraid of Leicester on one hand because their recent form was better than Everton. Leicester lost to only Manchester City in the recent times and it wasn't even a loss by a big goal difference either.

I tried my luck with a 2-1 Everton win in the EPL pool also but Everton couldn't show a proper performance in this one. Having 2 shots on target in the whole match was really disastrous. Lampard must be feeling really frustrated and he had better be ready for another competition to stay in the league. Because their effort is showing that way for now.

We are watching a quite delightful derby match indeed.

This is like Icardi's day now as he has scored 2 goals already. If Galatasaray win the match Icardi will have the biggest impact for sure. And I already see him as the player of the game now. It looks like he is starting to adapt quickly to the team. Now it will be 3 goals in 5 matches. Galatasaray fans must be hoping for him not to be another Falcao case. If Icardi also has long-term injuries then it would be another big waste of money for them. When it comes to Besiktas they aren't playing too bad under Senol Gunes' management actually but they are in trouble now by being 2-1 behind.

To be honest, I think Firmino should be kept in the team despite his age. He is actually 31 years old now which is not too old in my opinion. Apart from that, his performance so far has been more impressive than Nunez. As long as this goes on like this Firmino can be an important part of the starting eleven.

It's like he is improving his performance more as seasons go on. This level is already better than the one in the previous season as I indicated before. Liverpool shouldn't lose their productive players otherwise this would weaken them more in performance.

Match 12 winner Total Strikes: 71

Nobody was expecting DRX to reach the finale. However as of the play-in stage, they have showed a very strong performance. Because of this I've bet on DRX win at high odds for like their every match. I've managed to make some profit. This time I decided to try my luck against T1 in the finale one last time despite being really difficult.

I'm curious about Napoli's performance from now on to be honest. Because they have really impressed everyone by a high level of effort so far in the group stage. Liverpool and Ajax were quite tough teams on paper but Napoli just destroyed them in nearly all of their matchups.

I wonder what they will do especially against the other biggest favourites. Teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and PSG would be the biggest challenges for Napoli. If they eliminate even one of them then who knows maybe we might see them in the finale surprisingly as well.    For example, Villarreal were so close to doing this last season if they managed to eliminate Liverpool as well.

Bad News Eagles had a really solid run in Challengers Stage. It was quite surprising to see Vitality and Cloud9 barely being able to qualify for Major. Thanks to the wins in their last matches they made it. I thought that fnatic were eliminated first but I found out that they had one last chance. They didn't make any mistake against their weaker opponent which was 9z. The only surprising elimination was OG's. Being not able to qualify for Major would reflect on their ranking as some decrease I assume.

And here we go! Major matches are starting tomorrow. I see FaZe - Cloud9 and Vitality - Natus Vincere as the matches worth watching. I think FaZe and Natus Vincere will be the winners.

Roberto Firmino's contract is nearing to its expiration date now as it lasts until June 2023. This might be worrying for Liverpool considering his performance so far in this season.

I have heard that they are preparing an offer for him to extend his contract. I believe he still deserves to be a part of the Liverpool squad right now. There is even a significant improvement in his performance this season. He has 8 goals and 4 assists in 18 matches now. It is nearly even better than his last season performance now. Maybe this is related to the Nunez signing. Because having another striker in the team has increased the competition level quite a lot. Firmino started to be even more ambitious.

I'm very sorry for the delay. As there are many contests organized by sportsbet.io on the forum, some delays can happen from time to time because of being busy. I've conveyed the username once again. 

woxic has announced that he wants to evaluate offers from other teams from now on. He isn't in Eternal Fire's main roster anymore.

Losing one of their best players might affect them quite negatively. They are already in some kind of transformation process once again. I think that woxic should have stayed and Calyx should have brought to paz's place. Actually I thought of a composition like this:

XANTARES - woxic - Calyx - paz - Soulfly

I would rather see imoRR on the bench because of making simple mistakes. But the team is still insistent on keeping him in the main roster. Eternal Fire should make their decisions as good as possible if they want success in the future. But I just started to feel like this team might even disband sooner or later.

It was really unexpected for me to witness PSG finishing the group stage at the second position. I didn't think that Benfica would be able to get a win that would be enough to take the lead. But they really demolished Maccabi Haifa like 6-1 and deserved the lead for sure. They didn't even lose to PSG in both matches so they are one of the dangerous teams now on paper.

It must be really scary for seeded teams to have the possibility of getting a draw against PSG now. Liverpool are also among the unseeded teams and their performance in the Champions League has been impressive recently. They play like the opposite of their Premier League performance. I just wish that we wouldn't see a draw like an early finale. It's more enjoyable when we have such matchups while getting close to the end.

I'm waiting for Fenerbahçe's match tonight excitedly. Because if Fenerbahce win that match I will have a really big amount of winnings.    All of the other matches so far on the betslip have won so far.

I can't be very comfortable with Fenerbahçe's win for now on the other hand. Because I remember their previous match against Dynamo Kyiv at the same time. They had a really hard time on winning in Istanbul. They won the match by like a last-minute goal. However there is an advantage for Fenerbahçe here as well because their opponent can't qualify for even the Conference League from now on. Hopefully Fenerbahçe will win and make me very happy.

Final Score prediction 28-14

There is only one match left in the betslip which I made with one of the freebets I won from jeremypwr's contests in the name of Sportsbet (There are some other active contests right now too so don't forget to join.). I hope that Fenerbahçe team which I'm a fan of can win tomorrow. And I can have the chance to get a good amount of winnings. I made a combined betslip like this except the freebet. Frankly, this week has been going on quite nice for me.

Arteta is indeed a successful manager this season. But it is really difficult to know what he can do with Barcelona. Because Arsenal is his first job experience as a manager. He was an assistant manager at Manchester City before as you know. I'm not sure if Barcelona would like to take that risk by signing a manager like this. Arteta has a nearly three-year experience with Arsenal though but like I said there is only one team in his management history.

Besides, I don't think that Barcelona need to change their manager. Xavi is another not very experienced manager maybe but at least he knows Barcelona very well. His so many years passed with this team in the end. In time, I believe that Barcelona can reach a much higher level. They have made a good progress so far in around a year.

I was waiting for some surprises in the Major Challengers Stage and I've had some so far.

Bad News Eagles have been the most impressive team so far. They have made a really big progress in this year by the way. There were some time periods that their ranking was down to much lower levels. But recently they are a scary team for even top tier opponents. 00NATION wasn't a big opponent maybe but their effort against BIG and GamerLegion was impressive. Especially GamerLegion have also been one of the dangerous teams recently.

There are other surprises like fnatic have been eliminated and Cloud9 are also in danger now. fnatic faced really tough teams in all of their matches though. But Cloud9 made simple mistakes even against a much smaller team like Grayhound. Their Evil Geniuses matchup in 15 minutes is crucial for them. I expect Cloud9 to win this but I'm not sure if they can make it to the Legends Stage.

Simeone actually thought of leaving his job last season. Because they had really difficult times during the season in the La Liga. Their Champions League performance was also not very bright as they barely qualified for next stage thanks to their winning their last group match. Anyway after this horrible run in the Champions League maybe he is reconsidering it. The biggest achievement they can get in this season is to finish the La Liga at the 3rd position.

It would actually be like a retirement for Simeone if he leaves Atletico Madrid.    Because he has had more than 10 years here as you mentioned. And I can't think of an alternative strong team for him to manage in case he quits his job.

I bought free spins for 4000 ¥. The game doesn't let me open the box you mentioned unfortunately while buying free spins. Otherwise I played this game so much that there is no chance that I can't see that box. But as I have said before, I need to give a break to slots from now on and make bets only.

I don't think that PSG have much problem with their defense in general. They must have just not cared about the Troyes match as much as tougher ones back then. Troyes benefited from the openings in their defense really great but even in that condition PSG managed to defeat them by 4-3. This is a proof that they can win in every condition against their opponents in the Ligue 1.

I don't think that we will watch the same poor defending against Juventus. It is an important match for PSG to keep their lead. Winning this match will be enough for them most probably. Maybe the match is in Turin but PSG are still one step ahead. I just expect to see them performing much more decently to be able to take the win. But it is really not easy to bet on their win on one hand. Because it is an important match for Juventus at the same time.
