Kick off Udinese and Roma have started and Roma have been surprised by a quick goal from Udogie in the 5th minute.
At the moment it looks like Roma are still having a bit of trouble developing the game due to 15 minutes of time but it's very rare for them to get the ball up until now as Udinese's midfield have always made quite accurate passes.
But I'm sure Roma will take the points in this match because it's still quite a long game now.
Scoring fast goal without adding another one is generally a bad sign and the other team might turn the table at any moment or just gets a draw. I doubt Roma won't score in this game and will miss passing to the first place this round. |

Incredible! Who thoughts Arsenal will be beaten by ManU when you look on the previous rounds! A successful winning story for Arteta stopped by Ten Hag. Maguire joined the game this time in the last minutes of the game when ManU were leading by 2 goals difference and he got a yellow card 1 minute after... Meanwhile Leicester is collecting another bad defeat. 0 point after 6 games  |

Messi - Mbappe duo did a great job today and helped the team have a comfortable win by 3-0. I didn't see Neymar in the starting eleven this time as Galtier put Sarabia instead. I wonder if there was a special reason for that. Maybe it might be related to the recent transfer rumours and the problems between him and Mbappe. He entered the game in the second half in the place of Mbappe. Maybe these problems don't affect their results in the league much but they should work this out before things get serious in the Champions League.
In addition, Lyon were amazing today. They defeated Angers 5-0 and increased their points to 13. After a very troubling season they have improved their effort very much now. It is still too difficult for them to bother PSG for the title but their main goal would be finishing the season at no less than the second position.
Well PSG needs to test several associations and strategies before CL to be ready for all scenarios since their main objective is to take that title after all money spent. Lyon scoring 5 goals was impressive. For now, OM is still annoying PSG with 16 points. Both Lens and Lyon have 13 points and still lack 1 game. It is quite good to see such competitiveness! |

Bayern is no longer number 1 in this round! A draw vs Union, although many wasted opportunities, made Dortmund and Freiburg pass them  Leverkusen wasn't lucky vs Freiburg and that's the 4th defeat in 5 games. Many top teams in several leagues are doing horrible like Sevilla, Monaco... But also Leipzig! They lost by 4 goals against Frankfurt which aren't performing good these rounds! |

Real Madrid did it again and at this point Modric seems like a wizard when he touches the ball as he always finds something to change the score in favor of Real Madrid. Betis played well today but not well enough to score the 2nd goal even if they had 2 great chances on doing so but Courtois was in a great day if I can say so.
Barca just won 3-0 on Sevilla's pitch with a dominating game in both halves from them and Lewa scored too.
Real Madrid got 3 precious points from Betis in this match. I recall the odds was way in favour of Real Madrid although the game was hard. ATM got a draw vs Sociedad which is a fair result for both teams imo. Barcelona won vs Sevilla and as expected Sevilla continued its catastrophic start this season with 1 point after 4 rounds. They will fight for nothing this season most likely |

Inter lost again and already got a miracle win with Lecce some turns ago, I don't think they will be the favorite for the final win.
Meanwhile, Napoli is winning versus Lazio.
Inter sold some of their good players and didnt keep much players and this year they dont look so great. They need to sign some good players if they want to save this season. Milan won again and i dont see Milan honestly in top 3 but they are proving me wrong everyday. Napoli to me is a big surprise this season This summer window is closed and they have to wait until winter to sign new players, if available of course. Milan won the game vs Inter but both teams aren't that far from each other, nor that far from other top teams. Napoli isn't a surprise for me. In the previous season they were leading the table for some time but they were very unstable and ended losing its place for Milan and Inter.. |

Epic round! Liverpool continued its bad results with a draw vs Everton. 9 points after 6 rounds, that's not promising at all.
City lost 2 points from Aston Villa game, that's the second surprise this round.
Brentford 5-2 Leeds is impressive. Brentford has a lot of potentials and they could perform better and better, I still remember their game vs ManU!

I think Atalanta will challenge the Scudetto this season. we can see from that game Atalanta are back to their best again this season, they are solid up front and behind. The Koopminers played phenomenal football in the winning goal. Great Hatrick.
I don't think Atalanta can win the Scudetto. There are at least four very strong contenders: Juventus, Milan, Inter and Rome. The others can only be annoying but in the long run they cannot win the Scudetto. Same, Atalanta might win the scudetto if the other teams are failing but it is definitely not the case.. Atalanta lacks consistency and this will be more obvious in the upcoming games. |

Manchester United's coach has really got the team back on the feet and his handwork is paying off now that the club has made remarkable progress in the premier league this season, even though C Ronaldo is in the market for a possible transfer to another club the replacement seems to be effective but he may likely remain with man u till the end of the season.
I can't call a victory by 1 goal difference a thing honestly. Ten Hag didn't make the club back on the feet since it was doing horrible than the previous season, they are just recovering their previous performance until they face big teams and win against them. I can't call their victory against Liverpool an achievement since Liverpool wasn't good at all back then. With some changes in the tactics, ManU performed better but they have to take on consideration injuries.. They are still in the beginning of long way for recovery. |

Borussia Dortmund seem on their way to a solid and businesslike win against Hoffenheim. The 1-0 that fell fairly quickly in the 16th minute. In that respect it is somewhat disappointing that the score at half time was still 1-0. Dortmund seem to be taking it easy and want to save some strength for the upcoming European game next week. I do not rule out the possibility that Dortmund will still run out to 3-0, but given the opposition and effort of Dortmund itself, it could also remain 1-0 for a long time and Dortmund plays it business. Too bad they have to miss Haler for so long.
Almost 20 minutes left in the game and Dortmund is still leading with 1 goal only. Not very reassuring. Saving strength for a game against Copenhagen? I don't think this is a wise move. |

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.. |
