Looking at the matches that Lecce will play next week, they have the potential to lose points again after this week they lost to Juventus with a narrow score. We can see the game shown against Juventus, they could not develop the game and even they could not create opportunities, in 90 minutes they could only record 2 attempts and even then did not lead to the goal. Next week they will face Napoli, and although Napoli are also in a bad state, but it is a real threat to Lecce in this match.

If Napoli manages to beat Lecce then of course, Lecce will be out of the top six. Even though previously Lecce managed to go through five matches without defeat, but in the end, Lecce did not have the strength to maintain their position. Moreover, based on the available odds, it at least shows that Napoli are still favorites to win the match. So yes, even though Lecce will play at home but still, basically Lecce is not the favorite team in Serie A, so it is natural that over time Lecce will experience a decline in their position in the standings. What's more, of course at this moment Napoli is also working hard to continue to improve, because as defending champions it is natural for Napoli to still be able to compete in the top four this season too.

Luton team deserves to be in England national or conference whatever that low league is called after seeing the game of yesterday night in EFL cup where they were beaten by Exeter City.They absolutely do not deserve to be staying in the Premier League and they need to get out of it as soon as possible,in fact I was a fan of them coming in the Premier League when the play offs to come here were being played but now I see this was not worthy at all,they need to go down deep inside lower leagues,they are not showing anything yet nor in the Premier League nor in the cup nor nowhere else.

They were really embarrassing in that match, even though from the start, they (Luton Town) had dominated the match with full possession of the ball, we can even see it from the total of passes that occurred in that match. They're currently ranked 18th (relegation zone) in the PL with 1 point from the 5 matches they have played, you're right in saying that they actually don't deserve to be in the PL.

It seems like it's not just Luton because in fact, the three teams currently in the relegation zone all is the promoted teams like Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United. So yes, I personally don't care about their results in the EFL Cup because anyway, in that event sometimes the top teams also can have bad results there. At least, the current promoted teams do not seem to have a good chance of being able to compete in the Premier League.

Because after all, the Premier League has been very developed over time, even teams like Brighton, Aston Villa and there are still several other teams that in the past were still struggling in the lower zone in the standings. But over time they managed to compete well in the upper zone of the Premier League standings. So yes, I think the current promotion teams clearly no have chance of surviving in the Premier League, because of course they will be relegated again at the end of the season.

For me most chances Real Madrid will be having advantage even they are also having issues but things looking much better for them for this game now who is going to lead the group it's important, and this match is surely going to have big impact for this all but for me most chances we will have draw or away result.

The game is still next week, of course Napoli do not want any problems that make players feel aggrieved. If that happens, they should immediately apologize to Osimhen so that the team atmosphere is conducive. Napoli still need Osimhen to date. A few weeks ago even Garcia had to apologise for pulling Osimhen in the final minute. Even Osimhen for the second issue is ready to take legal action. means that this second problem is quite serious.

After all, in reality Napoli and Real Madrid both managed to get three points in their first match and that way, these two teams should remain on a good track at this moment. Also, even though Real Madrid are kings, but in the next match the reality is that based on the odds currently available, that Real Madrid is not the favorite team either. Therefore, of course any result can happen in the match between Napoli against Real Madrid later, because neither of these two teams are really favorites to win.

In the end, Reims won away from home with 2 goals to 1. Lille conceded at home and also fell to a defeat at home to Reims. It was a dominating performance from Reims who moved up to 5th place after the victory; while lille could only fight back and draw a goal back in the 79th minute. Deserved win for Reims.
Reims won early in the first half of the match with a two-goal lead since the match had barely started, while the home team Lille was only able to get one goal back in the second half even though their dominance and level of ball possession was slightly better than the visiting team. But the home team was unable to equalize until the end of the match so Lille had to accept defeat at home to Reims and I think this was very detrimental for Lille.

No wonder because anyway, I also said before that Reims is not a weak team for Lille. Because from the head to head record too, basically Lille does not have good dominance when playing against Reims. Moreover, previously Lille and Reims only had a gap of one point and that way, of course their quality at this moment is also not much different. So yes, that is how Reims managed to win this match and managed to improve with an additional three points and now Reims has ten points from the six matches it has played.

Chelsea are really very bad from all sides. It's a shame when they have actually spent a lot of money to bring in players. If it's United we can see the shortcomings in their defense, but Chelsea as a whole is very, very bad. But I don't think Chelsea will be relegated. They have many players at English Premier League level, not championship level. I just hope Chelsea can stay in the league this season and hope the players can find chemistry in the game.
Yep it seems high unlikely Chelsea will be relegated to Championship league, but honestly I hope it will happen lol. I want to see Chelsea get relegated because this will make every people e.g. owner, management, coach, player and everyone who work for Chelsea need to introspection whether they're good or not.

After making a big change, I believe they will back to Premier League and might be one of strong candidate to become a champion.

It would be interesting if Chelsea ended up being relegated because of course, that would be a big lesson for their management. But yes, it looks like if Chelsea keeps Pochettino until the end of the season, then it seems quite possible for Chelsea to be relegated. Moreover, if for example Pochettino is fired in the middle of this season and Chelsea appoints the wrong coach again, then the final path will indeed be relegation. Because basically, the players that Chelsea currently has can be assumed to be new players and do not have strong chemistry between the players. Therefore, it is natural that Chelsea is still having difficulty forming a better team at this moment.
2826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 27, 2023, 02:40:40 PM
Leipzig away is currently going to be very difficult for all Bundesliga teams, including Bayern. That's why I don't see Bayern as a clear favourite. There is also a strong possibility that the match will end in a draw. Both teams are strong and Leipzig had the upper hand in the cup final. Of course, there was no Harry Kane then. There is a stronger Bayern now.
We should expect a draw tie between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, with a difficult decision to be reached. However, the Red Bulls have an advantage because it is a home game, giving them a full advantage over the Bavarians. However, we should not draw any conclusions just yet because this is Bundesliga and anything is possible. We discovered that RB Leipzig smashed Bayern Munich in the final, making it a personal task for Thomas Tuchel to fully comprehend the game. Marco Rose will face Thomas Tuchel again, but this time in league game.

Basically, Kane already at Bayern Munich when playing in the German Super Cup final but unfortunately, Kane at that time only played from the bench. Of course, the situation is very different now, we know that Kane has gained good form and or good chemistry at Bayern Munich now. Moreover, at least Leipzig has a difficult schedule too, because after playing against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, the reality is that Leipzig will play in the Champions League against Manchester City.

So yes, with such a schedule, then I personally do not believe Leipzig will succeed in getting a good result in the match against Bayern Munich later. Although indeed, at least the chance for a draw remains for Leipzig, but it looks like it will still be difficult for Leipzig considering the schedule they have like that. Therefore, then at least Bayern Munich will also still have a good chance to be able to beat Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena, of course, as a way of revenge.

Anceloti's decision to release Morata gave poor results. Madrid lost to Atletico due to the important role of Morata who made 2 goals. And that day Anceloti was saddened by Rodrygo as the lone striker could do little to finish off crosses from the wing, right and left. Joselu also couldn't answer Real Madrid's deadlock. Anceloti should regret releasing Morata to a city enemy.

Hasn't the release of Morata to their rivalry been done since Zinédine Zidane, not in the Carlo Ancelotti era, the main reason Real Madrid released Morata was because of the incompatibility of the scheme implemented by the previous Real Madrid coach, and in addition, Karim Benzema's performance was impressive, making the previous coach Zinédine Zidane let Morata go to Atlético Madrid several years ago, because that's why Morata couldn't compete with Real Madrid strikers in the previous era.

True, I agree with you. Because in reality, Morata move happened a long time ago and did not happen in the Ancelotti era so yes, of course Ancelotti had nothing to do with Morata and/or Morata move. Apart from that, in the past Real Madrid sold Morata to Juventus, and Real Madrid succeeded in bringing him back but in the end, Real Madrid sold Morata again to Chelsea. Until finally Morata continued to change clubs between Atletico - Chelsea - Juventus and finally Morata returned to playing at Atletico. So yes, with a history like that, it seems clear that Real Madrid doesn't have a compatible with Morata, so it's natural that Morata can still play well and score two goals against Real Madrid.

milan vs cagliari match will be held at cagliari's ground so in today's match we expect a tough fight between the two teams. There will be enough attacks from start to finish, although Milan are a strong team, today's match will be very difficult for them. As cagliari play at their home ground, they will try to attack strongly and with each team performing well at their home ground, today's match is likely to be a draw. But Milan will try their best to win today's match and attack enough and I think Milan can definitely win if they perform well. Today's match is very important for Milan because if they win today's match, they will definitely have 15 points from 12 points and move to the first position in the standings. Accordingly today milan will attack enough against cagliari and try their best to win the match, and i think milan may win today's match.

Do you feel confused in making a choice? Because apparently, you said a draw before because Cagliari played well at home, based on your previous assumptions. But somehow, in the end you chose Milan assuming Milan will play well. Lol. After all, in reality, Cagliari is a team that is in the relegation zone so far because yes, Cagliari is one of the teams that has not managed to get a win so far. Therefore, it is not right if you say Cagliari play well at home and thus, then I personally do not hesitate to say victory for Milan in this away match.

Chelsea have since struggled to adapt with the huge changes to personnel and pochettino has not been able to galvanize the squad that was already on a freefall  having work under Thomas tuchel, Graham potter and frank Lampard last season and also with the sweeping changes on the front of transfer I think Chelsea are still coming to terms with pochettinos method which notoriously demanding and require high fitness

I think Pochettino should be given another chance after this year because he is currently in the process of getting to know the team. This will last for 1 year and as their adaptation to the team increases, they can achieve greater success with the team. What is needed for Chelsea is time and they must get that time by holding on for another year.

It is not worth giving Pochettino a longer chance because anyway, if for example until the end of this year or it can be said that until halfway through the season Pochettino still cannot restore Chelsea's performance. Then obviously, I believe Pochettino will be fired, because basically Pochettino has a very good time to build Chelsea. But what happened was a complete failure, because when a coach has enough time to prepare before starting the season at that time, the coach should have succeeded in making good preparations for the team. But what happened to Pochettino until now for Chelsea, is clearly a failure and worse than Potter.

Even Barcelona got 1 point, I think it was a bad result. Barcelona has better players and they need 3 points to maintain their position (leading La Liga standings). Since they failed to get 3 points, Barcelona is probably no longer leading the La Liga standings tomorrow. However, the competition is still far from the end, so it is not a big problem to fail maintaining 1st place now.
So far, even though the difference in points between Barcelona and Girona is quite small, it can only make Barcelona go down temporarily even if Girona can get points over Villareal. Meanwhile, Barcelona only needs to expand the range of their game with a supply of ideal players and enough strikers to rotate, so for Xavi it will not be as difficult as Girona to rotate players.

Girona and real madrid can still surpass barcelona. I think that this kind of situation will still happen till the end of season. I remember that if girona was also a part of manchester city. I think that girona will become one of strong contender to compete at the top position of la liga this season. City football group was investing more on this club. It feels like seeing manchester city on la liga.

Very funny, how can you equate Girona quality and performance with Manchester City? LOL! Moreover, you seem to be so confident that Girona will remain in the top four until the end of the season, it's a real joke.

But regarding Barcelona result in last night match against Mallorca, surely a draw won't get Barcelona relegated. I just wonder, why when Barcelona don't win and then there's a lot of speculation that Barcelona have become very weak. After all, the reality is that there are still many other opportunities ahead and one thing we must realize is that La Liga is about Real Madrid and Barcelona. So, if at this moment Real Madrid and Barcelona experience a loss or a draw but still, in the end Real Madrid and Barcelona are two teams that will certainly be able to finish in first and second place and or in the top four of course.

Juventus game has not improved at all, and it does not seem possible for it to improve with the current limited squad. I think they have the capacity to finish the league in 3rd or 4th place at best. They were able to win the Lecce match with a single goal. They are not a team that is in a position to win easily. For now, if they strengthen the bad players in the interim transfer season and add purposeful players to the team, a much more effective central midfield is needed instead of Miretti, for example. Maybe they could consider a more aggressive centre-forward next to Vlahovic.
Perhaps the shock of the game against sassuolo was still great, the game 4:2 lose they do not forget so quickly. Lecce is currently a very tactful team, they have no lost in the first 5 games, but now against Juventus. Only Inter Milan has also no lost in there first 5 games, so to beat Lecce was not easy. Vlahovic was substituted in the 80th minute, but Milik was the right decision.

Yes, it's true, Juventus are currently never easy to win, even though Juventus are playing at home but still, the fact that playing at home also does not make it easier for Juventus to get three points. But yes, although Juventus still need greater efforts but at least Juventus managed to get three points, and managed to beat Lecce so that Lecce got his first defeat this season. Also, it looks like the next match will not be easy for Juventus, because in the next match Juventus will play against Atalanta, Torino and also Milan. So yes, it looks like it will be a difficult match in a row, and maybe it will make Juventus slip again.

Manchester United 3 - 0 Crystal Palace

It was a dominant win today for Manchester United; as they had an excellent performance and also a great win for the first time this season under Ten Hag who has been under immense criticism. Do you think such good performances will continue ?
I'm unsure of how Manchester United will perform when they face the same Crystal Palace team they trashed by a score of 3 to 0 in the England EFL Cup. Manchester United outperformed my expectations of them.
On Saturday If I discovered that they were defeating Crystal Palace again by more than two goals, I could express my opinion on whether their impressive performance could continue. We'll find out this week's Saturday whether they can maintain the winning streak after defeating Crystal Palace at home.

I think there is still no definite guarantee, whether Manchester United will still be able to win with a big score in this weekend match against Crystal Palace. Although indeed, Manchester United managed to beat Crystal Palace with a score of 3-0 in the match last night in the EFL Cup event. But yes, whether Crystal Palace played with great effort or not in the EFL Cup match, so Manchester United managed to win with a big score.

While in reality, Manchester United and Crystal Palace in the Premier League standings also have only one point gap. Therefore, it is possible that Crystal Palace will be able to play even better for the match in the Premier League this weekend. So yes, I think Manchester United big win in the EFL Cup it seems, still can't be a guarantee about Manchester United to be able to maintain that good performance and results in the Premier League.

Manchester United are having really difficult days recently. But their performance against Bayern Munich in Allianz Arena was really promising. I must admit that their defending was really poor and Onana was also terrible. But they were still able to stand still by answering them with many goals. There was a score like 4-3 at the end despite getting a loss.

Therefore Galatasaray's job in Old Trafford will be really difficult next week. If they started strongly by a win against Copenhagen then losing against Manchester United here wouldn't be a big deal for them.

But getting that draw made them more desperate for a win now. But I'm afraid they are very likely to lose here.

During the first half they could not operate well enough to to score Bayern Munich. They responded positively as they should during the second half. That day Onana was also part of the players that made mistake and he took blames for that defeat. The defending to midfielder's was not having that connection.
Galatasaray will not be like Bayern Munich they are a side that signed players like Zaha and Ziyech but they will not hurt Man United if they are coordinated.
Copenhagen are the side that challenges United but they United will phase through.

At least, if Manchester United defense can be better, then it is very possible that Manchester United will not lose when playing against Bayern Munich. Because after all, basically Manchester United still has a good attack line and that way, playing against Galatasaray can certainly be a winning result for Manchester United. No matter about Galatasaray having Zaha and Ziyech because anyway, Manchester United will also play at home and Manchester United also has better quality players of course. So yes, there is no good reason for Manchester United to fail, because playing at home against Galatasaray should certainly be three points for Manchester United.

PSG will become fierce in less than no time. PSG beats their opponent to grab 3 points, resulting in the parisians climbing upwards on the Ligue One table. However the game was kind of tough for the Frenchman, having little bit of challenges scoring, I was surprised to see Luis Enrique substituted Kylian Mbappe and bringing on Goncalo Ramos from bench, shockingly he scored a brace in the game, something that was difficult for Mbappe to do. I totally understand what the club is trying to do, they are attempting to do perfectly fine without without their main player on the pitch.
Luis Enrique had to replace Mbappe during the match because he was injured, but Ramos managed to answer all the team's needs even though he had not really proven his abilities in the previous few matches. Gonçalo Ramos scored the first brace for PSG and was his first goal in the last 6 match, but he deserved it and it will make him even better.

This weekend PSG will travel to Clermont for the 7th matchday of Ligue 1. Clermont is a team in the relegation zone which is unlikely to complicate PSG's plans to win the top of the standings, but of course it will have a bad impact for them. PSG's point difference with Brest is only 2, so the result of the Brest vs Nice match will probably be very decisive.

Yes, Mbappe has an ankle injury so of course, Enrique will also not force Mbappe to continue playing. After all, if for example Mbappe did not have an injury, then of course it would be very unlikely for Enrique to replace Mbappe in that match. But regarding the next match, it is certainly a sure win for PSG. Because after all, even though PSG will play away but PSG only plays against Clermont, because at this moment Clermont is a team that is at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings.

Therefore, it looks like PSG also has a great chance to return to being strong at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Considering also, that the teams in the first and second positions are currently Brest and Nice, the fact that in the next match Nice will play at home to play against Brest. So yes, it looks like the competition will be interesting but in the end still, that PSG will return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings because it seems, PSG has got the best performance and form at the moment.

I'm not really sure Leipzig can beat Bayern Munich even if they play at home. Leipzig's odds of winning are too high if they are favorites to win, I mean 3.40 are odds that look like a trap. So are you sure Leipzig can win that match?
Betting on Bayern Munich to win seems much more reasonable instead of Leipzig,
Why should it be not possible for Leipzig to win thsi game against Bayern Munich ?
They are already have won against them in the Supercup final this year.
Bayern Munich is always the favorite in every game in the german league , but that dont means that they cant lose.
It will be an interesting match and Leipzig have the things to beat Munich.

Yes indeed, basically Bayern Munich will always be a strong favorite to win in every match in the Bundesliga, and maybe also in other domestic leagues. But even so, of course Bayern Munich also sometimes fail to get the results as expected or fail to get results in accordance with the results in a prediction. But yes, because at this moment of course Bayern Munich also has a mission to take revenge, then it looks like it will indeed be a difficult task for Leipzig to be able to beat Bayern Munich in this match. Because yes, at least Bayern Munich have also slowly regained their best form and the current situation, of course, is different from the form of Bayern Munich when they lost by Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

                   Sevilla vs Almera

The match between Sevilla and Almera is ongoing.Sevilla has scored two goals in two minutes. The first was scored by Nesyri on the 6th minutes with a wonderful header and the second was scored immediately after the first goal by Lukebiako.

This is a good start for Sevilla in this match and it shows that they are serious to have a win at home. On the other hand their opponent Almera is playing very weak with a porus defense. Sevilla is in possession of the match and they are playing impressively today. I hope that they can have three points today because from the look of things, I don't think that Almera will equalise the goals.
Sevilla 2-0 Almera

After all, Almeria is a team that is at the bottom of the La Liga standings at this moment, because so far this season also that only Almeria does not have any winning results from the six matches it has played. Maybe yes, it looks like it will be seven matches including the match that is taking place right now. Moreover, this match that Sevilla is also playing at home and also, basically Sevilla is in need of a victory to be able to improve its position in the La Liga standings. So yes, it is appropriate for Sevilla to be able to maximize this match to successfully get three points for the second time this season.

This will be the moment for Juventus to lock in points at home, even though Lecce has performed surprisingly well and have not been beaten in their previous five matches, so that making them in the top three of the standings now. Allegri must try to refresh after experiencing defeat against Sassuolo and if he is unable to implement the right strategy, it is not impossible that Lecce will steal points at home to Juventus.
Seriously, I don't expect Lecce to beat Juventus at Allianz today. Lecce has so far been unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Juventus, who are playing at home, should be able to stop this streak when they are favorites.

We all know that Lecce is a strong team defensively so they have only conceded 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Their striker is also quite dangerous, so far Nikola Krstović has scored 3 goals in 4 matches. Juventus' defense must be wary about Nikola Krstović if they don't want to concede, so there is no real reason why Juventus would underestimate Lecce.

In fact, last season Lecce almost got relegated but who would have thought that Lecce would manage to start this season well. At least this result is also a surprise but indeed, over time Lecce will decline because Lecce does not have the quality to be able to maintain this good result continuously. Also, about conceding four goals in five matches played, I don't think it's a good record either. But yes, because this happened to Lecce, then at least we will also consider it a great result at this moment fo Lecce. But even so, I personally don't think Lecce has a strong defense and therefore, Juventus should be able to succeed in beating Lecce in this match.

What Erik ten Hag did was indeed quite appropriate for player discipline, but we also have to see that while Erik ten Hag was coaching Manchester United and at Ajax previously he had a lot of problems as a coach with players, not just with Jadon Sancho, I don't mean to defend Sancho, but I think Tenh Hag also has to lower his ego and prioritize the development of the team he handles.
I think Erik Ten Hag doesn't need to lower his ego. Because ego is necessary for a coach to manage his players. Just think about talented coaches like Sir Alex Ferguson, Mourinho, Antonio Conte, or Jurgen Klopp... what were their egos like? I believe what Ten Hag needs right now is to adjust his ego and personality to be more suitable, so that other players on the team don't lose confidence and believe that he's not favoring anyone on the team. With that, Ten Hag can slowly revive Manchester United.

So at this moment, at least the attitude of maturity and professionalism should be applied because if not, then the dispute between them will become more difficult to overcome. Moreover, Manchester United position at this moment is also bad and also, Manchester United will face a more difficult competition than last season. Therefore, Erik ten Hag should be more assertive and do not need to lower his ego, because as a coach, he must have a firm and disciplined attitude to build the team even better. Because after all, the coach has authority in the team, so it would be inappropriate if Erik ten Hag lowered his ego, because it would make him weak. But indeed, basically Manchester United has started the season not well, so it will indeed be difficult to recover quickly.

The heat of the Saudi Pro League is just the unbelievable salary of the players on the other side of the career slope. It doesn't attract viewers at all. The Premier League is an empire that has existed for a long time. They have built a good name and quality. Here, we not only see stars competing to shine but also see the strategies of good coaches. I feel like a storybook.
Because the growth of Saudi Professional League is not natural and organic but comes from investment from Saudi Arabian government through PIF, it is an unsustainable growth. If their government lose interest in the league and stop money flow to PIF, top four clubs of the league will no longer be able to pay salary for those star players from Europe as well as will not be able to buy more new star players.

Those clubs and the league will return to where they were before the heating spending wave, and likely end like Chinese Superb League years ago. Hopefully this growth will be continue to at least World Cup 2030 as it is a plan of Saudi Arabian government to host that World Cup in Asia.

I don't think the Saudi Pro League can be compared to the Chinese Superb League because obviously, it's a very different way. The Saudi Pro League managed to bring in many star players while the Chinese Superb League, not at all. Therefore, with the success of the Saudi Pro League like this, then I believe the Saudi Pro League will not end up like the Chinese Superb League because they have a different budget and also a different way.

Therefore, I think the Saudi Pro League will still have continuous development, and certainly not just end up in vain. But yes, if we compare it to the Premier League and or other top European leagues then it is clear that the top European leagues are the main destination for footballers to become more popular in their careers. So yes, it is certainly difficult to match the popularity of the top European leagues, because they have developments that continue to occur every season.

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.

Regardless of right or wrong, I don't think Arsenal is making the Europa League their main priority. Arsenal focused on competing for the English Premier League title last season and did not focus too much on the Europa League.
Liverpool is the favorite for the Europa League this season because other teams are not that prominent except Ajax, Roma and Marseille.
This season, Liverpool will probably ignore several domestic competitions and focus on two competitions, namely the English Premier League and the European League.

Even though Liverpool is the favorite team in this league, I think this is only temporary because all the differences will occur when some of the strong teams currently in the UCL move down to the Europa League.

But still the results is bad for Arsenal last season, because Arsenal failing in the Europa League and failing also in the Premier League. So yes, wherever Arsenal priorities last season, then I think try to accept the reality of failure. Because after all, failure will also certainly allow the team to develop for the better, because at least not always the failure will make the team worse.

But regarding Liverpool in this season, then at least you can also say Liverpool will focus more on the Premier League, if you say that then at least maybe you are also looking for a safe way so not to be assumed as a failure. Because anyway, I personally don't care if they will prioritize the Premier League or the Europa League, because of course, if they have the opportunity to be able to advance to the final match. Then why would they stop or give up, because of course it would be better if they had the opportunity to be able to go further then they could maximize it too.
