A boring match between Celta de Vigo and Cadiz. We are 0-0 with a few minutes left until halftime. Very little or nothing happens. They are also not teams that are known for quietly scoring on their own. I suspect a game that will sit in 0-0 for a long time and that we will get 1 goal around the 70th minute and that after that it will be the final score. But I've been wrong more often. Both teams are normally around the middle bracket. I am looking forward to the form of the Barcelona squad and how they will line up because next week they have a CL game.
Odds are in favour of Celta Vigo but this kind of games are tricky since everything could happen there. The interesting matches this round will take places tomorrow. Sevilla will face Barcelona and apparently this will be their 4th disappointing result this season.. Barcelona @1.8 looks interesting! Real Madrid will not have an easy game for Betis nor ATM vs Sociedad. The difference in these games is Real Madrid low odds @1.4 while ATM and Sociedad are between 2.6 - 2.95

Lewandowski Balon d'Or? Still can but obviously there are some people who still have more quality and the biggest chance now is Benzema of course.
Yes, although it is possible, we are still at the beginning of la Liga, and in regard to maintaining his physical condition, his ability to outperform the rest of the best players in the world is just speculation at this point. I would have said that is it not possible for Lewandowski to win the balon d'or but in football everything is possible. Before a player as old as Lewandowski will win the Ballon d'or, he will have to outshine his closest rival Benzema, outshine Haaand in England and outshine Mbappe and his guys in France . Barcelona will have to win La Liga and do well in champions league and it is not an easy task for the aging player. Benzema deserves the Ballon d'Or this year since he was literally the best, his team won La Liga and Champions League and he contributed a lot to that. Besides, La Liga is harder than Bundesliga that Lewandowski seems favourite their. Of course, we all know how weird is the nomination there. Messi won it last year while he doesn't deserve it, Lewandowski was better... So I won't be surprised if Lewa get it this season so they correct their mistake..

We are still in the beginning of the season and even if Milan will lose the next game vs Inter, they can catch up the others in case they keep winning of course later. Lazio dropped 2 points, Fiorentina lost, Napoli is still 1-1 after 60 minutes vs Lecce, while Juve is leading with 1 goal. So far Roma is leading the table.
it's true, we're still at the start of the season and it's too far to say Milan are incompetent this season. But, what I mean is, Milan have the same problem every season. i.e. often losing or draw when meet teams that they should be able to beat. This is like a culture for AC Milan that must be changed immediately. That appears for me like a culture that should change in Serie A as a whole. I mean most teams in the previous season were doing the same, losing vs easier opponents, the best example was Napoli and Juve.. Milan wasn't different of course.. Those small points drop are essential to determine the winner later. Look at Napoli right now, a draw vs Lecce? Seriously.. They were the first and now the 4th..

Bayern won 5-0 in DFB-Pokal yesterday and they will play in two days vs Union Berlin which is relatively good team and sitting in the second rank until now. Meanwhile, Dortmund will play vs Hoffenheim. All these teams are sitting in the first positions and odds are in favour of Bayern and Dortmund obviously. Freiburg will play vs Leverkusen. Not sure why the odds are in favour of Leverkusen! They were horrible this season at the opposite of Freiburg. Cuz they are playing home?

Manchester United are currently leading by a goal to nil, Sancho with the goal, RashFord would have fired the ball towards the Goalkeeper. That's the difference between him and Sancho. With the way Manchester United are playing without Ronaldo and Maguire and they keep winning, both dude will stay on the bench for long
CR7 isn't concentrated with all drama about him leaving the club. After the closure of the transfer window, he should return to his form and I assume Ten Hag will give him chances to do it more than Maguire for sure who proved that the best position for him is in the benches..for now. After 5 rounds, the difference between ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal or City is more than 4 points up to 7 which is relatively huge, considering how they were winning. Few goals difference, last minutes goal..

Who has noticed Monaco performance in this season. I can say that it is very poor and dangerous performance from them, they have just played five matches and they got red card in three matches almost consecutively, they got red card against Lenz, against Rennes and today against Troyes . I mean Monaco should be people will look up to to give a fight to PSG if i am not mistaking, but now they are falling down the table daily. They may consider to change a coach.
Monaco is in trouble this season. Their performance is fluctuating a lot, being lucky vs PSG, doesn't guarantee anything. Their defeat vs Troyes today was heavy, 2 goals to 4, making them ranked 16..that's bad. Strasbourg and Rennes are in the same situation. Lille are unstable too, being 1 goal behind vs Nice. If we could resume the situation, OM, Lens and Lyon are +/- fine and they are the only ones that could annoy PSG this season apparently.

You both have to look at the scoreboard now because Manchester City haven't stopped scoring goals. Alvarez scored, it became the 5th goal for Manchester City's advantage. Haaland has been taken off and replaced by De Bruyne, it's not bad because Haaland has scored a hat-trick. I can't believe Liverpool's difficulty scoring goals against Newcastle. Liverpool lost in the first half even though they had some good chances. I hope Liverpool can score goals to continue their winning trend. That was expected by City and I won't be surprised to see another goal. Arsenal also scored 2 goals until now but received one. What worries me is Liverpool not scoring any goal yet while being 1 goal behind. Same Spurs received a goal and the result is 1-1 vs West Ham

What I said about Sassuolo is proven again. Milan were not so good against Sassuolo. This is not a good thing, furthermore, Milan need to make sure that they have strength in the derby. If Milan lose again, this will make it even more difficult for Milan to catch up and compete for the championship. Hopefully this time Milan can win the game.
Score: Empoli, Udinese & Lazio leading for the first half.
We are still in the beginning of the season and even if Milan will lose the next game vs Inter, they can catch up the others in case they keep winning of course later. Lazio dropped 2 points, Fiorentina lost, Napoli is still 1-1 after 60 minutes vs Lecce, while Juve is leading with 1 goal. So far Roma is leading the table.

Don't forget, Bayern Munich is playing vs FC Viktoria Köln at this moment. The starting line-up of Munich is not the best, but you can see the quality of the other players and maybe they play than in the Bundesliga. Gravenberch or Tel play from the start and i hope they play in the next months more in the league.
DFB-Pokal, especially early games vs weaker teams, is an opportunity for Bayern to test their secondary players and give them more time to play. Nevertheless in this game we have Mane, Muller, De Ligt and the others. Bayern is dominating the game obviously and leading with 2 goals to 0. BTW Leipzig played yesterday and humiliated their opponent with 8 goals. Interestingly Werner scored 3 goals.

So far, only Man City are showing a good game, which is to be expected against outsider Nottingham Forest... But I'm most interested in how Liverpool and Newcastle will play tonight... Liverpool need to get three points after losing to Man U, and Newcastle have not lost a game so far and their performance is not bad compared to last season...
City is leading with 4 goals to 0 vs Nottingham. Haaland scored 3 goals in the first half and Cancelo scored the other goal. Arsenal and Spurs scored 1 goal each and Liverpool is 1 goal behind Newcastle in the first half. There is still 45 minutes but the situation is alarming in Liverpool..

Chelsea trailed by one goal at the halftime break, which Armstrong scored in the extra time. Chelsea must struggle to get at least a point because Southampton appears to be very strong, and they, like Chelsea, require three points. With the way the game is going, Chelsea could end up losing if proper adjustments are not made.
Chelsea is struggling vs Southampton right now.. They are 1 goal behind (1-2) after 55 minutes, their odds jumped to 4.2 vs 2 for Southampton. Even if they equalize, 1 point isn't a good thing for them and they will be 4 points far from the rest by the end of this round.. Otherwise in the other games, Everton, Brighton and Fulham are leading with 1 goal in their matches.

It was disappointing to watch Sassuolo play Milan like children, not giving them a single chance to get in front of goal. I don't see how that could have happened to the current leader of the standings. I was sure Milan would win this game, but when I saw how well the home side played I knew I was wrong.
Every team has its weakest moments otherwise PSG and Bayern won't drop points in their leagues.. In the other two games, it is already half time and both Inter and Roma are leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Cremonese and Monza respectively. Dybala scored 2 for Roma ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The poll avoave show's more votes from Real Madrid Winning the league But with a deep eye Barcelona have a better chance to clinch the title off Real Madrid Loved the fine show yesterday, good game, if you want to watch football with grudge then you have to watch and love Barcelona
I voted for Barcelona this season instead of Real Madrid which I supported in the previous season. I find Real Madrid stable comparing to the last year while Barcelona improved a lot and their horrible start won't happen again most likely so they will have a big advantage. After 3 rounds, the difference is only 2 points due to the draw against Rayo which shouldn't happen in the first round but later they finished both games with 4 goals.

In my view, the English league has entered its 4th week. Seeing the performance of Arsenal and Spurs starting the season, it looks like the competition for The Big Six will be more exciting this season. Well, Man City certainly deserves to be championed. Liverpool as long as they are consistent can be the main competitors. Arsenal and Spurs can surprise you. MU is starting to achieve positive results can try betting into the competition this season. Chelsea? They will still enter the competition for big teams but the departure of their forward players and not finding the right goal getter could be a problem.
Arsenal, City and Spurs are fine until now and if they continue like that, they will end in the first spots. Liverpool and ManU have to be evaluated more and more before figuring how they might end. Chelsea performance is questionable. I don't expect much from them and won't be surprised if they end in Conference League spot.

Mbappe played selfishly from the beginning of the match and spent the attacks. No matter how talented he is his perspective on the game is terrible and his passing choices are wrong. PSG's defensive line was bad. I think Messi is isolated from the game. It was as if they had agreed not to pass the ball to Messi. Galtier was disappointing in this match. PSG's appearance is far from being a team. Messi and Neymar will save PSG.
Mbappe, Neymar and Messi should be a good trio in order to bring CL trophy to Paris. Otherwise they won't get to the finals. Their chance isn't weak, they should learn to exploit the maximum of that power.. PSG upcoming games aren't that hard until facing Lyon in September, 18 so they have to avoid such bad situation by making that trio in harmony.

Paris St Germain trailing Monaco at home, who would have thought? To be honest, I thought they would easily beat Monaco, especially because it's a home game. But we still have to start the second half so there is nothing wrong in principle. Perhaps PSG will take it easy in the 1st half, and that a few star players have been given a rest. I haven't looked at the setup I must say. Monaco will now try to hold on to 0-1 for as long as possible, but that will not work. I expect a fast 1-1.
I didn't expect that and I was confident that PSG will win by 2 goals difference if not more. I didn't consider the odds interesting for PSG but surprise! those who placed a bet for a draw got x6? tho! Messi and Mbappe weren't lucky today hitting the post, otherwise the result will be different. Until now, Lens is keeping positive results along with OM to annoy PSG ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Surprisingly this weekend many teams who gave the score tended to draw, Napoli should have got a goal even though only one goal was very meaningful because it could get a win and get additional points for the standings, but maybe the defensive power of the Fiorentina goalkeeper is difficult to penetrate, making Napoli difficulty to score goals, matches when a draw will be boring.
The real surprise or what I call the funny part is to see the first 6 teams having 7 points each, after 3 rounds! while Juve and Inter aren't in that list.. Napoli missed points as many of us expected since they always fluctuate and tend to drop points after few victories. The interesting part of today's games is to see Sampdoria receiving 4 goals from Salernitana ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif)

currently lewandowski scored 4 goals while benzema only 3 goals, the competition is still too early to determine which is the best of the two because I am sure both will continue to score goals throughout the next match
Lewandowski is a great signing for Barca and I'm sure Barca's competitiveness in the UCL will be very strong
The competition will be intense between Lewandowski and Benzema about who will score more goals this season. Both players have the advantage of their teammates counts on them to score and they don't miss a chance whenever it is possible to do. I think Lewandowski might pass Benzema since Real Madrid will let Benzema rest whenever possible because they don't really have someone to replace him. In Barcelona, they have enough possibilities.

Plenty of feeling points at Werder Bremen - Frankfurt. I saw that after 20 minutes it was already 2-1. Still good that Frankfurt still managed to win after having had this backlog. Frankfurt also has a better team, of course, they have won the Europa League for a reason.
Frankfurt got on track although I am not that very optimistic since Bremen isn't a top team while Frankfurt should be one of them after winning EL..but since their game with Real Madrid, they aren't well at all.. Furthermore, there was only one other game in the German league today. That ended in 0-0. A lot of teams still seem to have to get in a bit, I think. Bayern was also very disappointing in terms of results, but if I can believe the analysis, they could have won 7-1, and the keeper had a world day.
Yeah the goalkeeper made a record in Bundesliga. All media is talking about that!

before meeting with arsenal, ten hag must think of a new strategy because it is a very important match for MU, and for sure arsenal will not soften in that match (maybe keeping Maguire on the bench would be a wise choice for ten hag)
Arsenal is more convincing than ManU from the beginning of the season. ManU started to win after a few changes made by Ten Hag, especially in the defence line which made them receive less goals. I still consider Maguire as a weakness in their defence line and finally someone got the courage to put him in the benches after infinite mistakes. He has to improve in order to join the squad again, just like any other person..
