This makes me recall the Saul Niguez's amazing goal he scored in CL semis against Bayern. That was really something.  Coming back to his morale , is he really unhappy? He is getting decent game time. Doesn't comes anything like unhappy from the looks of it.

I am sure Bayern would not be the only one monitoring the situation. There would be many giants to offer a good money for him and that would definitely increase the price tag.

Great win going over 2.5 maps. The way Faze started it seemed like Vitality are clueless and Faze might clean sweep it. They were so crisp and have a great teamplay in first half. It really seemed like they might get Vitality in Dust2 as well. Vitality did a great job making a comeback in second map and won the last map as well. The way Vitality played the first map I almost was going to back Faze but decided to stay put after recalling my betting history backing them  .

1st day 1/1 with City. Honestly the way the first half went I thought Fulham might draw this tonight. Great that Stones broke that duck in second half and Jesus and Aguero followed after that. Fulham can show their tough sides at times but City broke that.



Another fact that, Parma haven't won at home since October 2020. Their last win at home come at 3rd round of Serie A against Verona with 1-0 scoreline. Their record at home: 1W, 5 D , 7L (Goals Scored: 6 ; Goals conceded: 22). Plus now that you have mentioned ^^that^^ fact , it is ringing inside my head.

Despite their poor performance I still think Leeds are a great team. They just came from the Championship and adjusting to it will take some time. Despite that they have defeated some good teams. Leeds however have poor defence but have great attack. There were some matches where they displayed good attacking plays but they conceded more goals than the goals they scored and lose eventually.

Chelsea are also having attacking problems but Tuchel have addressed the defensive problems Chelsea had under Lampard quite well. Guess I am gonna stick to O/U goals market on this one.

Well I am speechless, these ESL Pro League matches so far have made me rolling my eyes. But we still have 3 groups left to watch. Group B is up next and we have crazy teams like Vitality, NIP, G2, Faze and so... in there and it won't be easy. Time to switch over to O/U maps line from Winners market. Have already lost some trying winners market, now time to lose some trying O/U markets as well. 

Matches today in ESL PL (Group B)

(1) mousesports vs ENCE
(2) G2 vs NIP
(3) Vitality vs Faze

I also think Donnarumma is a priority for Chelsea right now. Mendy have been delivering very well as a goalkeeper and kept his position solid keeping the record signing goalkeeper Kepa on the bench. With Donnarumma being signed it would only lead to waste as in talent and money. I don't see a proper point. Also it would be hard for them to sell Kepa as they would have his price tag set high as in order to cover back the value they paid for Kepa and it would be hard for clubs to pay that much to get Kepa in their team as well but before they have to have interest in the player as well.

United would never sell their legend like DeGea. Also he is happy with the chances he is getting and won't leave. Even if United does sell him (which I don't think they will) they still have Dean Henderson who had a quite spectacular season at Sheffield and have rise up to occasions at United also when he is given chances. United is far from the team having goalkeeper'ing troubles.

For Donnarumma the only serious club would be a team with goalkeepering troubles right now and have a good pocket to pay Donnarumma. And I don't think Chelsea and United are the teams who are having troubles with their current goalkeepers to find a high replacement like Donnarumma. Also Donnarumma contract situation with Milan are still in talks and I still think it would end him signing a contract extension for Milan again after some negotiations.

Parma would be missing their captain J Kucka for accumulation of too many yellow. For Roma, Mkhitaryan picked injury in the Shakhtar's match although he does remain doubtful but I don't think that he would feature in this match. Still both Parma and Roma has lot of options. Roma have been defending well but the way Parma have been playing feels like anything could happen.

Thanks for the analysis @morvillz7z as always. Think I am gonna back this. 

BIG are now 1 map down against Renegades. Not sure whether to face palm or what. Expected a good ESL run from the German team but receiving quote the opposite. Still it doesn't matters now since they are out already.

As for other two, both are going on as expected: Heroic won the first map and OG also won the first map.

Yeah true, haven't seen quite a balanced performance from all of them. Well that has led them out of the group A along with Renegades. Complexity and Heroic have qualified. There is still one spot left which will be decided today- either FPX or OG. Whoever wins the match gets the spot. We also have Complexity vs Heroic today along with BIG vs Renegades.

Started off my Europa betting just missing by a whisker.



Gerrard and his men are a strong team to face and I thought have chance to win it easily but the early goal from Slavia messed it all. Still Rangers got the equaliser and defended quite well. It will be a good match in second leg. Rest I hit all on mark- Tadic to score, Utd vs Milan to go U 2.5 and Villareal to win & U 2.5. Just wished Rangers didn't conceded that goal at first :/.

It really does takes ball of steel to back someone against a side like BIG. It is surprising that BIGhas only managed to win one game in ESL Pro League and now they are finding hard time going against FunPlus Phoenix. Not sure what is wrong now they have everything they need- syrson (good sniper), tabsen (the mind), XANTARES (Peek master) but still they are failing to win easy matches


Now that you've mentioned it, just checked now and it really seems like some big teams in Group B . Group D is nice too. I want to see how G2 perform without kennyS in ESL.

They were having maintenance some 4-5 hours ago. Not sure if its falls under timeline in your case but even though I think that this shouldn't have affected anything related with the user's balance. Or perhaps it was all with on your end now that you have fixed it yourself.

Any Europa predictions for today?

There are still some tough teams left. Round of 16 are still undergoing but all of those teams qualified are tough teams. City has the tradition of choking at the quarters or semis in CL. Last season it was Lyon and Lyon wasn't even a difficult team but yet they lost to them. Guardiola this needs to ensure that everyone goes according to his plan. They are already 2-0 ahead of Gladbach but they need to ensure that they don't let the advantage loose in second leg.

Everyone thought Messi isn't missing that but Navas pulled off a great save but if it would have been steered into the corner then it could have been a goal. Navas was really great yesterday as well as Marquinhos denying all those Barcelona efforts. Barcelona had some really close if we brush aside that missed penalty- most of them chances created from the crosses but there wasn't anyone that committed to go inside and tuck the ball inside properly.

Messi goal was nice? wasn't it. Still his penalty..ugh -_-.

I thought Manchester City would cleanly win the match but they conceded two goals and one goal almost but ruled out for offside. Saints did very well yesterday considering the injuries they were having and the team they were facing yesterday. Few teams have scored more than 1 goals against City this season and Saints are the one now. Everyone knew that they would drop points and so they did. With that win City inch closer to title and Saints drop to 14th.

Southampton also has their own injury troubles and with recent injury of Danny Ings their top leading scorer it becomes quite hard to attack the City defense line. Minamino is back and with Ings absence Che Adams would start alongside Nathan Tella. They could produce some good counter attacks but without Ings that fine edge would be missing. Saints need to focus on their defense as well. In Derby, United did well by not giving City players to move inside from middle like Gundogan and others used to do. They limited those plays from wing positions but they also did well to check those threats. Saints should do that as well.

^^Yeah really. Juventus were sloppy at start but slowly slowly they paced up. It was the Fiorentina wonder boy Chiesa (on loan at Juve) who scored two crucial goals to push the match to Extra Time. Porto were also a bit lucky with two frame shots and one close chance from Chiesa. Everyone thought it was going penalties until that freekick goal in ET by Porto made it all hard for Juve. It was almost like putting nail on the coffin.

Ey @LFC_Bitcoin. Liverpool game today... What do you think?

Chelsea vs Everton is gonna be a low scoring game. Richarlison and Lewin might gonna be a problem but I think Chelsea defence can handle them. Richarlison is the one blue's defence needs to make special eye on as his movements can produce some key chances or maybe even a goal.

As for West Ham I think it's gonna end with Hammers winning over Leeds and over 2.5 goals.

Here are the results of All Star Weekend skills competition:

1) 3 point challenge winner - Stephen Curry
2) Skills challenge winner - Domantas Sabonis
3) Slam Dunk Challenge - Anfernee Simons


Well you got it all right but feels like you were late to the scene or the event already started/finished when you dropped this in. I am not sure though.

I thought Liverpool would at least settle for draw but that goal from Lemina really put Fulham into advantage and all Fulham needed to do is defend till the end and they are actually good at it. So sixth consecutive home defeat coming from a team in relegation zone. Well Fulham are still in relegation but they are on borderline now.
