Barcelona had more than 18 goal attempts but only 3 shots on goal during the whole match, this show clearly that xavi squad wasn't focused on this matc, maybe because players are frustrated after the elimination from cupa del Rey by real Madrid in a humiliating way
Even though they managed to dominate the game throughout the match, Barcelona had difficulty dismantling the Girona defense which put up a total defensive tactic. This draw made Barcelona fail to win their last two consecutive matches in all competitions because previously Barcelona were also humiliated by Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg semifinal of the Copa del Rey which was held at Camp Nou. Even though they were only able to draw against Girona, Barcelona's position at the top of the standings is still safe. There is a 13-point difference that still gets in the way between first and second positions, this distance could be the reason Xavi doesn't mind too much about the draw against Girona. This result indeed won't be affect for Barcelona position on standings league because they still have 13 points above to Real Madrid but this result could be so dissapoint for the bettors because mostly they put their money on Barcelona before however about the match Barcelona has got plenty of opportunities to scores goals from Raphinha, Lewandowski or Araujo but unfortunately these players can't convert that into goals But besides that i think full credit should be given to Girona goalkeeper Gazzaniga because he has made several crucial save which makes Barcelona players looks frustrate because they even cannot made at least 1 goal from 18 total of shots and this result is good for Girona because at least they didn't lose from big team |

Maybe someone has forgotten the results of one of last week's matches, that Atalanta, who are so favored, lost at home against visiting Bologna with a score of 0-2. This result has quite an impact on their current position in the standings which makes it even more difficult because they have to shift Inter and Milan first if they want to penetrate the top 4 of the standings. In the next match, Atalanta will have to play an away game against Fiorentina and I think Atalanta will again find themselves in a stalemate because Fiorentina is a pretty strong opponent.
Bologna cannot be underestimate because they have strong motivation when against strong teams and before Bologna has successfully to beat Atalanta they also has been beat another strong teams such as Fiorentina and Inter so basically Atalanta faced hard match and they can utilized the unconsistency of Atalanta to get the winning results and if we talking about Bologna last season they were finish on 13th under Sinisa Mihajlovic but everything was change when Thiago Motta arrived to this team and he can give positive impact for Bologna Previously Bologna were never fight for european zone and usually they always be struggle to avoiding relegation zone for almost every seasons and so far if i am not mistaken this is one of Bologna best achievement during playing on Serie A and with only 1 difference points below to Juventus i think they have good opportunities to playing at least on European conference league |

Leverkusen has certainly improved after the introduction of Xabi Alonso as the coach. We can certainly say that in the results. They have not lost even one match in the last five. They have not even drawn anything in the last five. Right now they are potentially targeting the fourth position of the table. And the way the teams which are ahead of them currently performing, it is very possible for them in my opinion.
The coaching career of Xabi Alonso is certainly going to get noticed by bigger clubs. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that he is already a coach. Feels like yesterday when I saw him playing for Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Time flies so fast.
Previously Leverkusen always be struggle to gets the winnings results even at that time Leverkusen has stuck to relegation zone and after Xabi Alonso arrived he has makes rapid progress for this team and the result is currently Leverkusen can take part to compete for the european zone and Alonso even has successfully to bringing Leverkusen to advance to quarterfinal on europa league So far since his debut match on October last year he has earn 12 winnings with this team in Bundesliga and i think this records hasn't stopped yet because possibly Leverkusen will gets another winnings however this is Alonso first experience to train big team because before train Leverkusen he was only being an the coach for Sociedad B and apparently he is not only good as a player because he showed his potential to be a talented coach with bringing Leverkusen to performing better |

José Mourinho really supports the team he supports, so when Roma managed to score a goal, José Mourinho immediately used a very strong defensive strategy that made it difficult for Torino to reply to the goals that had been won by Roma. To survive in the top three at the top of the standings, Roma still has to keep fighting to secure their position because, in the future, the opponents that it will face will be difficult to beat.
I don't think Roma will make it to the champions league, despite the fact that they're on third position on the table right now. They're too conservative with their approach to football . Mourinho is not a very technical coach, he sticks to the basics and sometimes it works while sometimes it doesn't. Roma still has to play Inter, Atalanta, Milan. These are teams that a defensive approach won't work on except on few occasions. Roma has very attacking minded players and it affects these players when they can't attack as they would like to. Roma is in the third position of the table right now. Yes, it is true that they have a lot of competition around them. But I am feeling quite positive about Roma being able to finish in the top four. José Mourinho is, of course, not the best tactical coach there is right now. But as long as he gets the job done, I don’t think anyone is going to complain. However, it is true that Roma will face a lot of really hard competition in the upcoming matches. It is going to be really hard for them to hold on to that third position or even finish in the top four. against those opponents. So far Mourinho have done well that he can utilized the inconsistency of Inter and Milan and taking over Inter position on 3rd but this is not over yet because the competitions between the teams who want to finish at champion league zone is very tight and i have counted at least 4 teams still possible to finish on that zone including them Roma shouldn't be slipped but indeed Roma will faced hard matches and the toughest teams for Roma upcoming schedules is Milan, Inter and Fiorentina and if Mourinho can managed Roma consistency and gets the positive results from those teams i think their chances to finish at champion league zone is wide open |

Marseille and Monaco has failed to wins today and this is dissapointing results because before the matches they are as favourite status and on the paper to earn 3 points should be easy for them but in fact both teams have to playing draw especially Monaco that they almost be win but Nantes has made epic comeback and this makes Monaco have to satisfied to share points with Nantes
Apparently both teams were unable to managed their consistency and to keep up with Lens and now the closest team who possibly can able to pursuing PSG on standings league is only Lens and next weekend i found big match between PSG vs Lens and i expect Lens will be the winner of this match and cut their points gap with PSG and if Lens can able to do that i think we will see Ligue 1 is more interesting because the competitions to get the title will be more tight

Barcelona still unbeatable at home until week 27 they even only conceded 2 goals from home matches so far i think from these records we can see Barcelona is very solid while playing at home and today against Girona i think they have good opportunities to resumes their winnings streak because we all know Girona is so weak even this season they only able to gets 2 wins from away matches
If Barcelona win today they will have 15 difference points above to Real Madrid and it makes their chances to lock Laliga title early is quite high and for betting purposes i have seen Barcelona has odds @1.30 and this is low odds indeed but nothing we can do because Barcelona is superior from all sides when compared to Girona but this time i expect Barcelona can win with big scores or at least with 2 goals margin or more so over 2.5 goals seems good too and this option had higher odds @1.58

Liverpool's two golden opportunities to fail to score were a loss, for some reason it had to be Salah who took the penalty kick because in the previous match he failed to execute it perfectly and the chaos in front of Arsenal's goal in the final seconds of the match could not be maximized by Konate either. Klopp was quite successful by entering Firmino once again he saved Liverpool from defeat in front of his own fans, but from 5 matches only earning 5 points is not a good thing for Liverpool.
Liverpool faced hard schedules and it's not easy to managed the performance against Manchester City, Chelsea and the latest is Arsenal so i wouldn't blamed Klopp if Liverpool losing points from their previous matches before because those are big teams and hard to be defeated and regarding the match against Arsenal yesterday i have to say Liverpool were performing better than Arsenal regardless Salah penalty kick who missed but Liverpool at least can make good come back after conceded 2 goals I don't know why after leading 2 goals Arsenal seems let Liverpool to control the game i think this is one of Arteta mistakes especially 15 minutes before the game ended i can see Liverpool has successfully to pressed Arsenal defense which makes Arsenal has unable to develop their game but regardless all of it just like i said before Anfied still dangerous place for Arsenal and it proven they still failed to win although they have good chances to do that before |

Hoffenheim vs. Schalke is a brutal game as well in terms of the situation both teams are in. I would again think that the home team is going to make it here. That's the only advantage Hoffenheim has going for them today.
There was a rumour about Pellegrino Matarazzo position in Hoffenheim because his position was threaten that if he failed to bringing Hoffenheim to avoiding relegation zone then he immediately will be sacked but apparently Hoffenheim gradually can performing well under him and recently they got 2 winning streak from Hertha Berlin and Bremen and i will assume Matarazzo has found his perfect strategy for Hoffenheim and today against Schalke i think it shouldn't be a big deal for Hoffenheim to collect 3 points today For team conditions probably Matarazzo will played Andrej Kramaric since first half considers his contributions in the last 2 matches and Kevin Akpoguma still had uncertain condition but the coach still hope he can be fit and available to play and Munas Dabbur will not in the squad because of suspension although Hoffenheim conditions doesn't really good but i still believe they will be able to beat Schalke today and Hoffenheim win odds is @1.95 |

Ajaccio vs Auxerre, Auxerre away team is really impressive they can score two goals in under 10 minutes of the first half, and they are leading at the moment with a score of 0-2. I think it seems like this game is over because Ajaccio was really unlucky and they are really difficult to get opportunity for scored although at home, there is a possibility that Auxerre will be able to get another goal in second half.
The current scores was 3-0 for Auxerre and seems they are in the comfortable positions because it's hard for Ajaccio to bouncing back and if Troyes can managed their performance until end of match they will got 29 points which mean 3 difference points above Strasbourg who in the relegation zone For upcoming match Lorient vs Marseille i think Marseille had good chances to earn 3 points from Lorient because they are in the good shape and Marseille even still unbeatable for away matches since November last year with got 8 winning streak from away matches besides that from head to head statistics we can see Marseille is too strong for Lorient because they had got 5 consecutive wins in the last 5 meetings with Lorient and i think Marseille will got easy win today and the odds for Marseille is @1.58 |

Chelsea have to dissappoint with Rafael Leao decision that recently he was reaching an agreement for new contract with AC Milan and actually since this winter Rafael Leao has into Chelsea radar because Chelsea feel they have to get at least 1 new forward player and Rafael Leao name was appear after he performing well with AC Milan this season but after this news apparently Chelsea have to looking for other players instead of him
Another rumours was appears today that Real Madrid has interested to bought Chelsea player Reece James and why they want James because Madrid feel this player had a potention and will be success in this team and although Chelsea has give him long term contract until 2028 but Real Madrid hasn't give up to gets him and reported Madrid are willing to pay at least 90 millions for James and i will assuming if this rumour is true i think Chelsea will considering this offers because after spend a lot of money this winter Chelsea will required fresh funds and Chelsea were able to buy several players with the money from the sale of Reece James

Today Roma won the Torino Roma clash. First of all, I have to say that there were not many positions in the match. the two teams had only 2 shots in the whole match. One of them was Dybala's penalty shot. Thus, Roma won in the week when Milan lost points and put themselves on top of the table. There is a very tight race at the top. It is very difficult to predict who will finish in the top four as it changes constantly.
Roma had 1 shot on goal only and seems it was from Dybala penalty kick and indeed Torino is the team who cannot easily to beat even before this match some people predict Roma possibly will be slipped and this is crucial win because finally Roma can kick out Inter from champion league zone and i have been notice since Georginio Wijnaldum was recover from injured Roma midfield sides looks solid now and apparently he can bringing positive impact for Roma performance On the other hand Fiorentina has failed to resumes their winning streak today that against Spezia actually Fiorentina had dominate the match that they players even got several opportunities to scores goals but apparently Fiorentina weren't lucky because shot attempts from their player were hitting the crossbar twice and after this result Fiorentina position were overtaked by Bologna who surprisingly can able to overcome Atalanta with scores 2-0 |

Another disappointing game for chelsea yet again, Surely this is not the result everyone would have wanted, before the game Lampard showed positives and a good mood in training, I expected a win or draw today but it seemed Chelsea are bound for poor games this season even with the new caretaker manager, nothing has changed.
I don't think people will be surprised by the results, this season Chelsea is really down and it's hard to get back up even though Potter was sacked and replaced by Lampard while not bringing any changes, I think even for the UCL later it doesn't really seem to exist hope for Chelsea to qualify against madrid because seeing the defeat to wolves today, it seems that there has been no change in Chelsea. I am not surprise at this result because I know that Lampard will not be able to fix things in Chelsea with their present performance. This is a big blow on Lampard to loose his second match in the club after he took over from Potter. Lampard needs to work hard on the team and should be able to prove to the public that he can restructure the club for him to be given to proper attention Chelsea is 11th on the table leading Wolves with 8 points,who is 12th on the table. This is a big win for Wolves as they took advantage of Chelsea laxity on the game to score the only goal in the match on the 37th minutes. Will Lampard be able to prove that he can handle this club and put the team back to its feet or still have that low mentality that led to his previous sack. Talking about the match i think there is no difference between Chelsea in Potter era and the current Chelsea because they are still same and the statistics has been showed Chelsea only good for ball possessions but their players cannot gets much opportunities to scores goals and only 1 shot on goal during the match i think this is not impressive records especially as debut match with Lampard But indeed this team already has a lot of problems even since Tuchel in the team so we shouldn't be blame Lampard because he did not have much time to improve the condition of the team and this thursday Chelsea will have another hard schedules against Real Madrid so lets see whether Lampard can able to gets positive results or Chelsea will be lose again |

I have to say rotation doesn't run well because the players such as Asensio and Ceballos has unable to performing well as the replacement of Modric or Kroos and Ancelotti indeed can played Valverde since the beginning of match but he didn't that and the result is Madrid have to lose from Villarreal and apparently Villarreal is the team who cannot able to beated by Madrid this season because Madrid has been losing twice
I think this is clearly Madrid want to focus to other competitions and already give up for Laliga title because he more prefer to rested some of key players in this match although this game is very important for them and after this result Barcelona had good chances to wided their points gap became an 15 points because they only playing against weak team Girona and today if Barcelona can able to do that then they will be very near to Laliga title

There was nothing special about last night's game Salernitana vs Inter. As we know, the trend of bad results is still being achieved by Simione Inzaghi's squad and this makes their position so threatened in the standings. Likewise with AC Milan who failed to gain full points when they hosted their opponent Empoli at home with a goalless draw. Now this will be an opportunity for Roma and Atalanta to shift the positions of the two Milan city teams in this week's match.
I was predict this match before and my predictions is this match will ended with draw result and actually after Gosens scored quick goal i thought everything will be more easy for Inter especially at that time Inter were dominate the match but apparently Inter has lost to focus before game ended and this were successfully to utilized by Salernitana to equalized the score and Inter have to satisfied to share point with Salernitana But in my opinion we shouldn't be ruled out Salernitana goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa because i think this player was performing well and during the match he can successfully to blocked several shots attempts from Inter and this is not good results for Inter because possibly Roma will taking over their position especially Roma today only faced weak team Torino |

I just look at to Leipzig recent matches results on Bundesliga that they were conceded 4 goals in the last 2 matches and they failed to scores too apparently after humiliated by Manchester City in champion league i think Leipzig has unable to restore their mentally because they were lose several times in Bundesliga which makes their position dropped to 5th
And now they will playing for away match against Hertha Berlin and on the paper Leipzig should be able to overcomes their opponent and regarding squad conditions apparently both teams will used their best starting line up because all of their main players will be available to play
Leipzig has just eliminate Dortmund on DFB Pokal and maybe this result can boosted their mentally and Leipzig will be able to bouncing back and i know Leipzig has dissapoint me before but this time hopefully they will performing well and won the match and the odds for Leipzig win is @1.69

Serie A continuation today between Fiorentina vs Spezia we can see that Fiorentina is the most consistent team this week managed to record perfect wins in the last 5 matches it's clear they have the chance to add one more win against a weak team like Spezia Fiorentina has many reasons for that one of which is playing at home. Fiorentina have ambitions to take tickets in international competitions.
Fiorentina performance is really amaze me because as mediocre team they still able to managed their performance consistently and they even still playing at several different competitions this season such as Serie A, Copa Italy and European conference league and one thing for sure Fiorentina doesn't need a star player to do all that However for the match against Spezia just like you said Fiorentina probably can able to resumes their winning streak because obviously Fiorentina conditions is more good than Spezia today but to finish at european zone it's quite hard for them because they got strong contender to finish at that zone Juventus and it won't be easy to overtake Juventus position because Juventus also gradually has showed consistent performance and very strong |

But I feel like that is not going to happen, and yet I saw Lisbon beating Arsenal, the team that is leading premier league right now, and then we are seeing them playing against Juventus as well, so it makes me confused, normally I would say Juventus would win, but after beating Arsenal to get here, maybe Lisbon is not an easy team to beat neither. It is going to be a hard day for betting without a doubt.
Sporting still as underdog status in this competition although they were successfully to beat Arsenal on round of 16 but mostly people will considers Juventus as the favourite for this match and in my opinion there is a very clear difference between Arsenal and Juventus that Juventus is the team with defensive style and it's not easy to break their defense so the outcomes of this match probably will be different Sporting actually is the team with attacking style but when they met strong team they will change their strategy and starting to play with defensive style and against Juventus too probably their strategy will not so different such as against Arsenal especially first leg will be held at Juventus home and i am sure Sporting will aiming draw result but this is just my assumption and it could missed depend on squad conditions between these teams later |

The odds for Lille win current was @1.40 and this is low odds indeed but nothing we can do because today they will met Angers the weakest team in Ligue 1 and this should be easy match for Lille especially Angers is the team with poor of defense that so far until week 29 Angers has been conceded 64 goals and i think it shouldn't be a big deal for Lille forward player Jonathan David to break the defense of Angers and scores goals
Lille have to utilized this match to earn 3 points because their position isn't fully safe especially with 2 difference points above to Rennes and if Lille want to finish at euroepan zone i think Lille shouldn't be slipped today and for the bets option Lille win so far is the best picked for this match

Sociedad vs Getafe
Last week Sociedad were slipped from Villarreal and if they want to stayed on champion league zone until at the end of season i think Sociedad shouldn't be slipped again but apparently Getafe isn't weak opponent from them because Getafe recent performance were slightly better than them besides that Getafe is the team who sometimes make Sociedad get in trouble and they even unable to win from Getafe in the last 3 meetings
About team conditions Sociedad will losing their defender Igor Zubeldia and their holding midfielder Martin Zubimendi but i wish this won't be affect for Sociedad performance later and for Getafe i didn't see any serious problem regarding their squad because all of their key players will ready to play and about betting purpose Sociedad win should be good picked but with the absense of those players which i mentioned above it makes me doubt because so far they are Sociedad key players moreover Getafe in the positive trend and maybe draw could be outcome of this match and this option has odds @3.40

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
We all know Aston Villa recent performance were very outstanding that in the last 6 matches Aston Villa has got 5 wins from it and one of the most important winning from them is when they can able to beat Chelsea 2-0 on Stamford Bridge and this result also makes Potter has been sacked and Aston Villa had good chances to finish at european competitions considering their performance looks quite stable
On the paper this is should be easy match for Aston Villa because their opponent Nottingham Forest isn't in the good shape that 8 consecutive without the winning results makes their position isn't safe because they have equal points to Bournemouth which is the team in the relegation zone and as a host Aston Villa had good chances to resumes their unbeatable records and earn 3 points from this match and for betting option Aston Villa has odds @1.62 i know it wasn't high odds but i think this is the safest bets for this match
