Arsenal consistent appearance has put him as one of the most superior Premier League teams in the Europa League. Arsenal performances have improved greatly this season, Arteta was able to lead Arsenal to the top of the Premier League standings and qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League as Group winners.

However, Arsenal impressive performance is no guarantee they can win the Europa League because this season there are so many strong teams that enliven this competition. Champions League third placed teams like Barcelona and Juventus will try their luck in the Europa League. Manchester United is slowly returning to its best form, Ten Hag has started to find the right formation to help Manchester United win the Europa League. Real Betis also cannot be underestimated, they can surprise with their best performances.

It's natural for you to be so sure if these teams meet Liverpool and PSG will lose, because Liverpool and PSG performances in the UCL are inconsistent. But you must not forget one thing in football, anything can happen during the game. What you predict on the table is not necessarily happens on the field as you predict, surprises can happen unexpectedly.

I have watched so many football matches, unexpected things always happen color the game. There are times when the superior team must bow down when they are defeated by a team that is considered weak, there are also incidents that are detrimental to the superior team due to the mainstay player being injured or getting a red card during the match.
I'm not a Liverpool or PSG fan, but I don't take Real Madrid and Bayern Munich lightly. Anyone can predict according to his wishes, but I dare not say Liverpool and PSG will lose to Madrid and Munich.

A crucial victory for Arsenal, once again Arsenal were able to prove they deserved to be at the top of the standings. One goal that can be obtained at Stamford bridge is enough for Arsenal to add to the injury to Chelsea because in the previous match Chelsea also suffered a defeat to Brighton.
As previously predicted, Arsenal will have to fight hard to get a win at Stamford bridge because Chelsea will give Arsenal a tough fight.

This victory adds to a sweet record for Arsenal, they have won three times in a row at Stamford bridge when they faced Chelsea in the Premier League. As a result of this defeat, it is increasingly difficult for Chelsea to move up to fourth place, Chelsea is still stuck in 7th place with 21 points, now Chelsea is 4 points behind Newcastle who sits in fourth position.

Right. Liverpool should think twice about sacking Klopp, Liverpool decline in performance can still be controlled without having to take decisive action. Firing Klopp will add new problems for Liverpool, Klopp deserves to be given the opportunity until the end of the season to reorganize the Liverpool squad to be more solid.

The problem Liverpool faces is in defense, they concede more often even though they are dealing with weaker opponents. Liverpool's attack line also needs to be considered, Mane's departure makes Salah seem to have lost his enthusiasm for playing. The presence of Nunez has not been able to contribute to Liverpool, Nunez who is expected to be an ideal duo with Salah has not been able to adapt well.
The purchase of new players in the January transfer market must be done by Liverpool to strengthen the depth of the team, Klopp needs several new players, especially in the Defense and Attack lines to bring Liverpool back to compete in the top four.

Atletico performance has dropped dramatically this season, Diego Simeone style of play is no longer effective in Atletico appearance. Previously Atletico performances were very good, they were outstanding in the Champions League and domestic league. Atletico Madrid must accept the harsh reality As a result of being eliminated from the Champions League in the Group stage, Atletico did not even qualify for the Europa League because they finished at the bottom of the standings. Before losing to Porto in the Champions League stage, Atletico also lost to Cadiz in La Liga.

While Espanyol condition is also being inconsistent, Espanyol is winless in the last three matches. Atletico, who acted as the host of this match, had to be able to win to treat their disappointment due to being eliminated from the Champions League, especially since the opponents they faced this time were relatively weak.

Milan is very lucky to have a striker like Giroud, he became the hero of Milan's victory over Spezia, previously Giroud also performed brilliantly and became the main actor in bringing Milan through to the last 16 of the Champions League.
The victory over Spezia brought Milan to second place with 29 points, Milan is only 6 points behind Napoli who are in first position. For Spezia this defeat leaves them one level above the relegation zone, Spezia has never won in the last 6 matches in Serie A with details of 5 defeats and 1 draw.

This victory is very valuable for Milan in their efforts to maintain the chances of winning Serie A, especially Napoli, which is Milan's rival this season, is in a very extraordinary performance. I see Serie A this season is very competitive, apart from Napoli and Milan, teams like Atalanta and Roma are also in the competition. Another threat also came from Inter who rediscovered their best form.

Arsenal appear crazy by winning six wins and one draw in the last seven matchdays in the Premier League, the impressive performance shown by Arsenal players led them to lead the Premier League standings. Chelsea who acts as the host in this match, will make the momentum to rise after the previous week's defeat when away to Brighton. Referring to the performance between the two teams, Arsenal is clearly more favored than Chelsea. But Arsenal must be careful with Chelsea's condition, which has just been beaten by Brighton and Stamford Bridge is not an easy venue for the visitors, especially during the London derby.

The presence of Aubameyang has not been able to increase Chelsea's attack power, Aubameyang, who was brought in from Barcelona, has not been able to show his best performance. So far Aubameyang has only scored three goals in 11 appearances. From the line up between the two teams, Chelsea and Arsenal both lowered their best squad. On Arsenal's side, there was Bukayo Saka's name in the Arsenal line-up, previously Saka was doubtful due to an injury when Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest.

Even though Lorient is currently in fourth place in the standings, PSG chance to win three points is quite open. In the last three matches Lorient have not won, they were only able to draw against Reims and Troyes, then lost to Nice 1-2. Meanwhile PSG have won five of their last five matches in all competitions, including the Champions League.

There is not the slightest hesitation in placing a bet for PSG victory as Lorient are not in the best form. On the other hand, the reason PSG can win this match easily is because the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form. Their presence in PSG front line can signal to Lorient that they will drop points again in this match.

There is nothing wrong with placing PSG as one of the favorite teams in the Champions League. Star players like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Mbappe are there, not to mention other star players who are in different positions. PSG have long wanted to win their first Champions League trophy, but their hopes of winning the UCL trophy have always failed. This time PSG will try again to be the best in the highest caste League in Europe.

PSG must be able to compete with other strong clubs such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Galtier who is responsible for PSG performance must be able to manage the mentality of players when the opposing team scores against them. PSG players must be able to control their emotions and frustrations to maintain their game form.
In previous seasons I saw PSG always experience a decline in performance when the opposing team scored a goal, they immediately lost balance when they were behind. Galtier must not allow this condition to happen again to PSG players if he wants to take PSG to the final and win their first trophy.

It's not wrong to put Arsenal as favourites, but you shouldn't forget the other teams. This season's Europa League gives a slightly different sensation from previous seasons, in the round of 16 there will be many strong teams competing for trophies, the reason being that there are more top teams that have dropped from the Champions League to the Europa League.

In addition to Arsenal, Manchester United and Roma, there are many top teams from the Champions League who will enliven the Europa League knockout phase. Teams like Barcelona, Juventus, Ajax Amsterdam, and Sevilla will enter the ranks as favourites.
Apart from the teams above, we must not forget the teams who are already used to the atmosphere of the Europa League, such as Real Betis, Union Berlin, and other teams. Arsenal have performed well this season in the Europa League, but there is no guarantee that Arsenal can go further easily because there are still other strong teams that will stand in the way of Arsenal.

Actually Napoli had no burden in this match, for example, Napoli lost to Atalanta, their position was not disturbed by other teams. On the other hand, Napoli must target a victory when they travel to Atalanta to stay away from the pursuit of the team below them.

This match is very important for both teams, especially Atalanta who want to close the gap from Napoli. Atalanta will take advantage of home games to embarrass Napoli, especially this season Atalanta is very difficult to beat when playing at home. The only defeat that Atalanta got at home was when they lost to Lazio with a score of 0-2.
If Atalanta manages to beat Napoli, Milan will be another team that will benefit. In the same week Milan face a relatively weak team, Milan will be closer to Napoli who are at the top of the standings and will make Milan's opportunities even more open.

Of course, let's compare what Barcelona is experiencing now with PSG a few seasons ago. PSG have a capable squad, they can always win in Ligue 1, but struggle in the Champions League. The coach is the cause of all that, the experience of the coach will determine the success of the team. Xavi don't have any experience in the Champions League, if I'm not mistaken, this is Xavi first season in charge of a team in the Champions League.

Barcelona failure in the Champions League because Xavi has not been able to fly high as a coach. Barcelona must give Xavi time at least until next season. There is no need for a change of coach, Xavi is trying to bring Barcelona to a better direction. Xavi did not completely fail as Barcelona coach, currently Barcelona are still in second place in La Liga, they are only one point adrift of Real Madrid.

Barcelona have an impressive record against Almeria, the Blaugrana have won ten of the last 12 matches played between the two teams, two of which ended in a draw. The condition of the Barcelona players who are ready to fight has no difficulty getting a victory from Almeria, especially when against Almeria will be the last match for Pique. There must be a different spirit from Barcelona players in this match. The players clearly want to give their best as a farewell gift to one of the Barcelona legends.

In addition, Barcelona also needs full points to keep their distance from Real Madrid, Barcelona, which is in second place, is only one point apart from Real Madrid. Victory from Almeria makes Barcelona continue to stick to Real Madrid in the title race, Xavi will continue to try to give his best for Barcelona after they are confirmed to fail in the Champions League.

Everton and Leicester have still not managed to show their best form this season, but Everton's points are better than Leicester. Everton managed to sit in 12th place with a collection of 14 points, while Leicester had to settle for occupying the relegation zone with a collection of 11 points.
From the last four matches played by both teams, Leicester's record is better than Everton's. Leicester managed to pack two wins, one draw and one loss. Meanwhile, Everton got one win, one draw and two defeats.

Leicester who act as the visitors will try to get points to get out of the relegation zone, while Everton really need a win to keep the players mentally. If you look at the results of the four matches that have been played and the performances of both teams, the Everton vs Leicester match will end without a winner.

Lorient who have experienced inconsistency their performance in the last three matches must accept the harsh reality, they will be met with PSG in Ligue 1. The results of 2 draws and one defeat in three consecutive matches have left Lorient 8 points away from PSG, who have managed to pack 35 points.
PSG will use Lorient inconsistent performances to maintain an unbeaten record in Ligue 1 this season, moreover the trio of PSG strikers, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe always look good and work together well.

The record of the MNM trio who are always able to serve each other in terms of scoring goals is a serious threat to the Lorient defense because they have conceded four goals in the last 2 matches in Ligue 1. It is difficult for Lorient to hold back PSG despite playing at home, in the previous match Lorient were also humiliated by Nice in front of their supporters with a score of 2-1.

The best odds are in sports betting.
Sports betting requires accuracy in analyzing not just guessing and spending money ridiculously, when betting on sports (I define soccer) you must have a prediction of the match that is the target of your bet.
If you place a bet only relying on luck or hockey, you can be sure that defeat is waiting for you. Before placing a bet, anyone will make a prediction first, the right prediction will have a greater chance of winning.

Lottery and gambling have very little chance of winning, cannot be predicted from these two games because the results are still gray. Gamblers only depend on the type of game chosen, but there is no certainty of victory there. Lottery is worse than gambling, even though the prizes are big the chances of winning are very slim.

The group stage of the Champions League has ended, after this the competition will continue to the round of 16, there is a possibility that the top teams will meet each other in the knockout round. The Champions League always gives a lot of surprises in the knockout round, Drawing the last 16 will bring together the group winners with the runners-up. The scheme will have a big match that will be presented in the last 16 this time.

In the draw rules for the round of 16, teams from the same Domestic league will not be met and teams from the same group will not be met. If pay attention to the scenario of the drawing rules, there is a possibility that a match involving Liverpool and PSG will become a big match.

Liverpool and PSG have to settle for being runners up in their respective groups, they will be met with teams that won other groups. Liverpool might meet Bayern Munich, PSG might meet Real Madrid or Manchester City. Although there is no certainty that this team will meet, the potential for the big match is clearly unavoidable.

Serie A will be boring, that's for sure if Napoli manage to beat Atalanta. If Napoli manages to win in this match, the distance of points with Atalanta will be 8, while if Milan manages to get a win over Spezia the difference in points with Napoli will be 6. Atalanta must win this match to make Serie A more competitive, the competition for the Scudetto is getting livelier. Milan and Roma are also increasingly motivated to continue to catch up points because the distance is getting closer.

Atalanta must not allow Napoli to score points at home if they are to stay on the title race list, a win must be won as well as rewarding Napoli's first defeat in Serie A this season.

Obviously Pique decision to retire as a footballer shocked the public because Pique contract with Barcelona was still active until 2024. Lack of playing minutes is one of the reasons Pique retired, Pique has rarely played since the start of the 2022 season. He has only played nine times this season, four of them as a substitute.

The existence of Pique in the Barcelona squad is no longer needed, the 35 year old Pique is no longer a top priority in the Barcelona defense. Since the arrival of Kounde and Andreas Christensen and other names in the back line such as Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo made Pique condition even more difficult, Xavi prefers to start with Kounde and Araujo or Eric Garcia and Christensen as starters.

Pique is very aware of his condition that Barcelona no longer needs, Pique also does not want to be a burden on Barcelona to pay his salary. Pique loyalty to Barcelona is very high, he chose to retire at the age of 35 because he did not want to play for another club besides Barcelona. Previously Pique was also willing to cut his salary quite large, Pique had twice made salary cuts to save the club's finances.

True, in the Champions League Barcelona are not as vicious as in La Liga, defeats are so easy to come by which makes them have to be eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage. It seems that Barcelona has not been able to move on from last season's failure, Xavi, who is expected to be able to take Barcelona further in the Champions League, is unable to meet expectations.

While in La Liga Barcelona is still capable of being the toughest competitor of Real Madrid, in the standings Barcelona is only one point adrift of the leader of the standings. Barcelona still has a chance to win La Liga this season, what Xavi needs to do is to maintain the appearance and mentality of his players to always give the best performance. The quality of the squad that Barcelona has this season can still compete with Real Madrid, the defeat in El Clasico is the only defeat that Barcelona have just received in La Liga. Xavi must continue to maintain the opportunity to get his first trophy as Barcelona coach.
