Last year, Arsenal looked like favourites, but they were eliminated in the later rounds. Liverpool seem to be the favorites this year. I hope they won't be eliminated in the following rounds and can make it to the final. The favorites of the European league cup can always change because very strong teams came from UCL last year. A similar situation may occur this year. Of course, Liverpool is a team that can easily beat any team that finished third in their group in the UCL.
Jurgen Klopp have made it compulsory for his team to become winners of the Europa League champions this current season. I don't doubt his ambition because his team puts good contribution in games, giving the supporters full hope for the title. Europa League competition this season is definitely going to be tough, fierce competition between clubs and only the best team will lifts the title. Liverpool are the only favorite team that are worthy of reaching crucial stages in the league, they have the necessary players and have good points on how to tackle their opponents. Each year, we watched elite clubs portrayed their very best performance in the game. Liverpool is indeed in the spotlight in the European league and it is no doubt that they will be able to win this season's edition of the European league title. Jurgen Kloop certainly wants to provide the best results for his players and even though they are quite disappointed that they can only play in the European league, it is still better than nothing. The even depth of the squad makes them very difficult for any team to stop and Jurgen Kloop certainly wants to at least win this European league title if they can't get another title. |

I respect Lecce's start to the season completely. However I would rather be realistic about this match today. I will be expecting a clear victory by Juventus. I was thinking the same for Juventus' match against Lazio in Turin also. I didn't doubt Juventus in that match despite Lazio's beating Napoli before. I think the same scenario will happen in this match too. Lecce also showed really good performances against bigger teams like Fiorentina and Lazio both. But I don't expect to see the same resistance here. Juventus can finish the job even in the first half if we see the same concentration level in the Lazio match. I think they will win by a 2-goal difference.  The match was over and Juventus was only able to score 1 winning goal in the second half. Actually, Juventus really dominated the match and they created quite a lot of opportunities but only one goal was scored. From Lecce they were only able to match Juventus with ball possession and even from shots on target they were unable to do it even once. This time Lecce had to stop and at least they realized that the time would come to lose. |

Surprisingly enough, Barcelona fell behind in the first half and maybe this will be quite a tough comeback for Barcelona in an away game. Currently, the pressure is definitely on the Barcelona players because they have to win this match if they want to maintain their top position in the standings. Xavi had to change his strategy in the second half so that it was more fluid and could more easily break into Mallorca's goal.

In this match I bet against Bologna. I didn't win the bet because this match was a draw. I expected Napoli team to play very well and they will win this match. Neither team won the match because of the equal performance of both teams so the match was considered as a draw. For which the points have to be shared between the two teams in this match. If we look at the points table, we can see that Napoli team is at the 7th position while Bologna is at the 11th position. However, we have seen a tough fight between the two teams.
Instead of betting on one team, it's better if you take a double chance bet because after all that can save your bet from losses. Maybe the odds are not as much as normal odds but you will still make money if the match result is not as you predicted. I was actually quite hesitant to bet on Napoli because since the start of the season they have been less stable and I didn't place any bets here. Returning to the match, it was quite a shame that Napoli couldn't win and it seemed the players were very frustrated because a draw would just widen their distance from reaching the top of the standings. Maybe there needs to be a complete overhaul so they can win again later. |

A player under the radar this season is Bayer Leverkusen Talisman, Victor Boniface. The Nigerian striker has had an impressive start to the season, and has contributed immensely to the good start to the season for Bayer Leverkusen scoring 6 goals and 2 assists in just 5 starts in the Bundesliga. Scored 2 goals in Bayer Leverkusen vs heidenheim game to keep his club side joint top of the league table
My question is, do you think Victor Boniface can rival Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy come the end of the season?
Bayer Leverkusen signed him from Belgian team Union for 20 million euros. They spent so much money on his transfer because he is a really high quality and promising starlet. Last year he scored 17 goals and 12 assists in 49 games in Belgium. He has really impressive statistics. It's a bit difficult for him to do the same in the Bundesliga, but he made a good start in the Bundesliga and maybe he will do the same impressive stats in the Bundesliga. I wouldn't compare him to Harry Kane already, but maybe he can compete with Serhou Guirassy. This cannot be separated from Leverkusen talent scouts who have been secretly scouting Victor Boniface since last season and fortunately he was willing to accept an offer from Leverkusen this summer. I think Victor Boniface knows what he needs if he wants to be better known to football fans and so his decision to come to Leverkusen is the best for now. The comparison with Kane is still quite far away and maybe he will be able to match Kane when he is more experienced. Maybe it is possible that other top European teams will be interested in bidding for him later if he continues to consistently score goals for Leverkusen. But it is clear that at this time he is unlikely to leave quickly and Leverkusen will definitely not let him go. |

It must be a joke that one of the best clubs in the world does not have enough attacking players. I wonder what they plan to do without a reserve centre-forward, sleep well Real Madrid. In addition, it is obvious that Real Madrid is inadequate in terms of attack, but Atletico Madrid is a team that I have liked very much since last season. They started the League legendaryly this year. In my opinion, this victory was a great victory. Even though there are shortcomings in the Real Madrid squad, Atletico Madrid is in a very good position in terms of game mentality. When the derby started, it was clear that they started very early with a quick goal from Morata, what a start it was, it was perfect. This early goal determined the tempo of the match.
It is obvious that Real Madrid forsaw what is happening to them now, but they were not keen enough to solve the problem before it surfaced.That was when Benzema was no longer frequent in starting for Real Madrid and Real Madrid saw the need to sign another striker in order to be benzema's back up because he was about to leave the club. There was a rumour that they went for Nigerian Inter Milan Victor but it did not work and they also went for mbappe and it did not also work. At a time I heard that they wanted to sign firmino from Liverpool, but everything did not work as it was planned. And today they are suffering what they would have prevented early enough. Real Madrid seems confused at the moment because they don't have a striker who can match Benzema and I think this is purely the fault of the club management and also the coach who didn't want to bring in an experienced striker in the transfer market last season. Maybe sometimes they are quite confident of winning, but sometimes against a balanced team it will be very difficult to maintain victory. Real Madrid had indeed been rumored to be with several of these players but in fact they never made an offer. |

There will be a big match for week 2 between Napoli vs Real Madrid and both teams has been met on 2017 twice at that time Real Madrid can win all of the matches and after Spaletti left Napoli still unable to find their shape because in Serie A they still unable to wins 3 times streak and in champion league too Napoli only win with narrow scores against weak team Braga and if we compared to the conditions between these teams i think Real Madrid clearly better than Napoli although they just lose last week from Atletico Madrid but basically Real Madrid performance is more stable than Napoli and regarding this match although Napoli will playing at their home ground but i feel like Real Madrid will be the winner of this match
Finally, we will see a big match in Group C and perhaps it could be said that these two teams are quite evenly matched if we look at their performance since last season. But there are times when Napoli will have quite a difficult time because their opponent is Real Madrid, which is a team full of history in the Champions League. Even so, Real Madrid should not underestimate Napoli and I hope both teams will give attractive performances in the match. I also agree that Real Madrid will still be the favorite to win and it seems that Napoli will have to try hard not to lose too much. |

The game between Verona and AC Milan is very important for AC Milan because they have to get good results from this game and after the game, they had against Inter Milan, I'm sure if they lose points in this game the whole team will be under pressure. Maybe that's why the rate for AC Milan is 1.40 and think as someone who takes risks, maybe betting on Verona is not bad because AC Milan is not in good form.  Sometimes the impossible can happen, including for Verona when they play against a much stronger team. We can see when Verona managed to beat Roma and this incident could happen again against AC Milan. But of course Verona must press from the early minutes so that their goal is successful and don't be caught off guard when AC Milan attacks. I think if Verona manages to score a goal first and then they do total defense, I think the result they want can be realized. |

Brighton is like another version of Nottingham Forest, but unlike them, they need to feared because of how well the players play and how any of them can score. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will have to keep Kaoru Mitoma calm min the game because he can become a lot of trouble for the suffering Manchester United Defense. Diogo Dalot will have to do the same at the other side against March, and in middle Maguire will face the pressure of an experienced Danny Welbeck.
Brighton is one of the teams that is able to make it difficult for big teams to achieve maximum results and if you look at their current performance it is very consistent. They could beat Manchester United quite easily considering the many problems Erik Ten Hag is currently facing. The three Brighton players you mentioned are devastating for Manchester United's defense and especially Karou Mitoma will definitely be very difficult to stop because he has speed and good dribbling. |

Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen are quite promising this season. Bayern Munich will go all out at the Allianz Arena and don't want them to drop points. Leverkusen, with the strategy set by Xabi Alonso, will take advantage of the mistakes made by Munich players and it will be a surprise for the spectators who packed the Allianz Arena stadium.
Thsi will be for sure the hottest and interesting game on the weekend between Munich and Leverkusen. Unfortunately i can watch that game live or at any stream but i will watch the review of that game when its possible. I still hope that Leverkuse can make a surprise and win in Munich , but i guess the luck will be with Munich. Leverkusen might make things a little difficult for Bayern Munich and if Leverkusen scores first then it is certain that Bayern Munich will carry out continuous attacks. At least the result is that we know for sure that Bayern Munich will win this match, but it would be less exciting if there were no surprises. Leverkusen's draw or win will definitely hit Thomas Tuchel's squad. |

Is acquiring Oshimen the right move? Are there other aspects beyond the attacking line that are influencing Chelsea's current performance?
Chelsea not in good shape, they're suffering and Mauricio Pochettino needs to provide good results if he wants to continue to retain position in the team. The blues have no intentions in signing Victor Osimhen, perhaps they have Christopher Nkunku who's currently ruled out of games because he's injured.Victor Osimhen is a potential striker for Napoli and I don't think the club would released the player to any elite team. Osimhen presence in Napoli is necessary because he's consistent in producing vital results for the club in crucial moments. Yes, if Pochettino still fails this week, of course there will be an important meeting to discuss his future. I think he will be given a warning first if he gets negative results again and this will indirectly threaten his future at Stamford Bridge. Until now we are still confused about why it is so difficult for Chelsea to win even though on average all the players in their squad are good players. Osimhen can be a problem solver for Chelsea and maybe in terms of costs Chelsea can solve it all, but will Osimhen want to join Chelsea in the current situation? |

Whoever makes it out of this group into the knockout phase is arguably a good team. I don't mean through luck, because with the strength of the 4 teams that will meet each other, it will certainly be difficult for them to beat each other and it could be that at the end there will be a calculation of goal productivity to determine which team qualifies for the next round.
True, Newcastle are relatively new to being a big contender in the Champions League, but we have seen the significant development they have shown in recent seasons, especially in the last season where they can compete convincingly in the top 4.
Yes, that was last season, but the beginning of this championship showed that not everything was all right with them. Perhaps these opening defeats will be a cold shower for Newcastle and they will be able to improve their performance further, because at the moment they do not look as good as they did before. Their group is also very difficult, RSG, Dortmund and Milan, each of these teams can qualify for the playoffs, let's see if Newcastle can be a worthy competitor for them. Newcastle are quite underrated but that is quite balanced with the results they have gotten so far in the EPL. Usually the performance of each team will always be reflected in its local competition and that is why previous expectations for Newcastle as one of the newcomers have disappeared for this season's Champions League. But there is also a team that is not very good in local competitions but is able to perform well in other competitions and I hope Newcastle is able to do that when they face strong opponents later. |

I have no complaints about Real Madrid's defense and midfield. Real Madrid's defense is quite stable. And I would say Madrid's midfield is the best midfield in La Liga. Real Madrid's midfield has experienced and talented players like Toni Kroos, Bellingham, Luka Modrich and Tchouameni. However, I would say that Madrid's attack is quite weak. There are no experienced players in the attack. Vini and Rodrygo are still young. How Joselu will play with Madrid is yet to be determined. It is difficult to dominate the Champions League and La Liga with such an attack.
No doubt with Real Madrid have solid and best composition in midfielder but still get weakness with attacking line position actually after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ittihad, Joselu still not impressive well in La Liga although he has quit well performance with Spain national teams in last EURO Qualifier matches. In midfielder, Carlo Ancelotti have many option not only impressive performance with Jude Bellingham but also experience player like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos still in the top performance. If can signing Mbappe in next season, not doubt with Real Madrid are completed squad because dominance by young and experienced player can motivate for young keep on the top performance, in La Liga Real Madrid still manage top standing position after winning 4 of 4 matches. It has been proven that when he played for Spain, Joselu was much freer and could even score goals. But when he was at Real Madrid, even though Ancelotti had given him the opportunity to get playing minutes, the results so far were still very lacking. Maybe Joselu didn't really understand the chemistry with the other players, which made it a little difficult for him. I'm still waiting this week whether there will be a winstreak of 5 matches or will it only stop at 4 matches. |

Bayern lost to Leipzig in the German Super Cup with a big score and couldn't even score a goal. When Leverkusen won their first game against Leipzig this season. Probably you can't compare the clubs just because of the game against Leipzig, but probably the chances of winning the upcoming game are really equal. Still, it won't be the most important game this season.
Despite Bayer Leverkusen perfect record this year taking on Bayern Munich the defending champions would be a difficult task. Leverkusen may find achieving even a draw to be a difficult challenge given Bayern current form and the addition of Harry Kane. Leverkusen may prove to be a difficult obstacle for Bayern despite the team apparent advantage especially if a draw is the desired outcome. Bayern now leads the all time series head to head, but the seasonopening week never fails to surprise. With Harry Kane on board, Bayernassault shows potential, and under Tuchel guidance, a win over Leverkusen may push them all the way to the top of the table. I think this Leverkusen squad is the first real challenge for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga so far. What we have seen more often is that Bayern may have struggles to score and then it becomes a close call in the end like in the game against Gladbach. In this case against Leverkusen I think they will be up against a team that is looking to play their own game. They won't be waiting for Bayern to take shot after shot and then see how it goes. Leverkusen has good speed and definitely a good enough quality to score goals against Bayern Munich. But yes, it could also end 5-0 when Bayern has one of those days that every shot is a goal. The only reliable competitor for bayern this season is leverkusen. Dortmund might be a bit under perform compared with leverkusen at this moment. Xabi has been coming with improved squad compared with last season. The match between leverkusen vs munchen will be very entertaining as xabi will be facing tuchel as a world class coach as well. Kane will be attracting so many eyes and i do believe he will be scoring for bayern. Bayern is very strong right now with him. This is the most interesting battle this week. No one thought that Leverkusen would be this strong at the start of the season and in fact they are much better than Dortmund so far. However, Bayern Munich's match against Leverkusen will determine who will be the next top of the standings this week. I think even though it is quite difficult for Leverkusen to beat Bayern Munich, at least they have to try harder than usual and it might be very surprising if Leverkusen can beat the hosts. |

Inter Milan @2.12
AC Milan @3.40
Last season was very bad for AC Milan who couldn't get even 1 point in the derby dellamadonnina match. This season, in the first 3 matches Milan showed improved performance. I hope in this match AC Milan will stop Inter's dominance in the derby match. It's not just about the standings, but also a honor for Milanisti who couldn't chant "Forza Milan" to celebrate the winning match. I also hope so, Ac Milan must be able to stop Inter Milan dominance, because on paper in the last few of matches Inter Milan is a head. With the presence of Christian Pulisic in attack line, Ac Milan is getting better their got satisfactory results in their last three matches in this new season. But Inter is also not bad this season, they probably won't allow Milan to win and steal three points, especially Inter Milan is also on paper more favorite than Milan, but there is still a chance because in football there are always surprises. This season Milan has brought in a lot of players and all of the players are good purchases. I think Milan this time can make it difficult for Inter and even though Inter are favored because they are the hosts, that is not a reason for Milan to just give up. This is a highly anticipated derby for the fans and I think both of them will attack each other to produce so many goals. I will back Milan to win because they haven't won against Inter for so long. |

I believe Real Madrid will be better than Barcelona in terms of performance. The biggest obstacle for Real is injuries. Many important players are injured right now. I don't think they will easily lose a match in La Liga after they recover. I'm sure Xavi is aware of this. He does his best to make the team compatible as soon as possible. I hope we will watch an exciting championship race.
Yes, player injuries are something that no team, including Real Madrid, wants. But when the match started they had to accept the fact that so many of their players had to be absent due to injury. Maybe Barcelona should take advantage of the current situation, especially in the El Clasico match, they will definitely have the opportunity to get full points by beating Real Madrid. The championship race is still very long and we are really looking forward to this time there will be a more interesting competition with a closer point difference. |

Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal coach, has faced challenges in managing his players, particularly in finding the right role for Kai Havertz. The team has struggled partly due to recent signings who haven't fully adapted to the team's style, with the exception of Declan Rice, who has performed well and even scored a goal against Manchester United. Additionally, Arsenal is competing in the Champions League after many years, so they need to be cautious in their attacking approach to prevent injuries.
Currently, Kai Havertz is still not very prominent in his role at Arsenal and as a former Chelsea player, now should be the right time for him to show his abilities with his new club. It can be said that Declan Rice can quite understand what Mikel Arteta wants and I think he will continue to develop in the future. Maybe Mikel Arteta should provide the right tactics for Kai Havertz considering that the Champions League and Premier League will be held very frequently starting in the middle of this month. |

Real Madrid still has David Alaba for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season. The Austrian national team player rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia ahead of the closing of the Pro League transfer, as reported by Spanish journalist Sergio Quirante.
For Real Madrid, David Alaba's influence is quite large. He can make Real Madrid's back line strong enough even if Sergio Ramos and Varane leave.
It was the right decision from Alaba to reject the offer from the Saudi league and it seems he is still very comfortable with the Real Madrid squad this season. Every time a win comes, Alaba is one of the players who always cheers the loudest and is sometimes very mischievous with his friends. So we can see there seems to be no doubt in his mind to stay longer at Real Madrid. Moreover, Alaba is a starter option for Real Madrid and it is very unlikely for Real Madrid to want to let him go. |
