IMO, if the club is serious about competing this season, Newcastle can do it. after all, they have a final that can bring in the star players they need. however, the club management did not do so. I mean, before Newcastle got serious about their project, the club still gave Eddie Howe the opportunity to do his best job. Unfortunately, he was unable to make it happen plus many players were injured. My guess is that next season Newcastle will start getting serious about competing in the Premier League. In this way, they will make major changes, including replacing a more competent coach. Thus, Newcastle is serious in competing for the Premier League trophy next season.

As you said, they will release several players and at the same time bring in a coach who can be relied on for the Newcastle squad next season. This is all done, if Newcastle is ready to compete, especially since this team is supported by PIF which has abundant finances. but this is just my personal assumption, we will find out after this season actually ends and how Newcastle faces next summer. specifically, in this summer's transfer window.

If these teams meet, I will stick to my prediction since this thread started. If I favored Leverkusen from any team competing in this competition. If we have to compare the Liverpool and Leverkusen squads, it could be said that Liverpool is more competitive than Xavi Alonso's squad.  However, Leverkusen has a lot of fight and they do it with hard work. What's unique is that Leverkusen's game is no less interesting than Jurgen Kloop's squad. These two teams can be said to be in their best performance. The difference is, Leverkusen is in a safer condition than Liverpool. I mean, Leverkusen almost broke the title that was dominated by Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Liverpool still has to struggle in their domestic league. The focus of Xavi Alonso's squad could be more on the Europa League, especially if they play their maximum match in the Bundesliga. while Liverpool must divide their focus on their domestic league before they are truly safe without being beaten by teams below their ranking. Moreover, the difference in points is very thin between the two competing teams. However, because it is not certain that these two teams will meet, at least these two teams must defeat their opposing team in the quarter-final match. After that, we will know whether these two teams will meet in the Europa League. although the chance of these two teams meeting is quite big. but still, as I said from the start of this thread. I favorite Liverkusen to win the Europa League. although, this is just my personal prediction. Well, let's just follow how this competition ends and determine the Europa League champion.

Marseille experienced 3 matches with defeats in two different events, first in the European League against Villareal, even though they qualified for the next phase. two more matches in domestic competition, a loss against Rennes and a match against PSG. It seems that there has been a slight decline in the team under the guidance of Jean-Louis Gasset. but it's natural for me personally, after all, Jean-Louis Gasset has only managed Marseille in 9 matches in all competitions with Marseille. At the very least, he needs much more solid chemistry to form a more ideal team. Before the match against Benfica, Marseille will play a match against Lille. In this match, Lille is more favored than Marseille, especially since Jean-Louis Gasset's team is playing away from home. Let's see how this match turns out. In the first match of the season, the match ended in a draw. my estimation, not many goals will be scored by the two teams that will compete this morning.

Talking about the match against Benfica, the home team is superior to Marseille in the Europa League quarter-final match. however, the available odds are equally good for both teams. It is possible that the first leg match could potentially end in a draw, or Marseille could be able to beat the home team. Well, because this match still has a time lag, it would be better if we just look forward to the Lille versus Marseille match which will be held in the next few hours.

At least this season's competition is quite exciting and tense in the competition for the Premier League trophy. With 8 matches remaining until this season ends, teams who make mistakes will have fatal consequences for their remaining competition before the end of the competition. Liverpool are now at the top of the Premier League standings, but the remaining 8 matches are not an easy matter for Jurgen Kloop's squad. Liverpool have a match against United, although Jurgen Kloop's team is the favorite. Apart from that, the other matches are no exception against the matches against Tottenham and Aston Villa. One mistake could have a fatal impact on their mission to win trophies this season, this is no exception for Arsenal and even Manchester City. After all, these three teams are competing fiercely in the race for the Premier League trophy. It could be that the competition will last until the 38th week. every team will fight with the same goal, as you said in this post. What is certain is that this competition is more exciting than last season's competition. Moreover, one of the teams competing for the Premier League trophy is our favorite team. I hope that a surprise will happen and it seems that something like that will actually happen in the remaining 8 matches. There are no other words, apart from just enjoying every match that the Premier League presents every week. Soon, we will find out which team is closest to winning the Premier League trophy.

Al Hilal only needs a maximum of 5 matches with a win, it doesn't matter that Al Nassr will win all their matches until the end, Al Hilal has locked up the Saudi Pro League trophy for this season. especially if Al Nassr loses points in several of their matches. this makes the squad coached by Jorge Jesus even more secure in ensuring the League trophy. apart from that, Al Hilal has the potential to win titles in several other competitions. although, Mitrovic, the mainstay who is the goal-scoring machine in Jorge Jesus' squad, had to be absent for quite a long time. This competition only has 8 matches remaining, Al Hilal is 12 points ahead of the teams below their ranking. without having to sweep all the matches with a win, just 4-5 matches are enough for Al Hilal to confirm being League champions, breaking the trophy that was previously taken over by Al Ittihad. in fact, without Neymar Al Hilal have become a very solid and competitive team. The presence of Malcom, Mitovic and several other European players has made this team quite tough. plus, local Al Hilal players who also made a big contribution, especially Salem Al-Dawsari. apart from that, Al Hilal only conceded the fewest goals compared to other teams. However, Mitrovic's absence means Jorge Jesus has to rearrange the strategy and tactics for his squad. Fortunately, apart from Al Hilal having a local striker who could be an option for Jorge Jesus' tactics, one of the other players can be rotated into a central striker, namely Malcom. Talking about the Asian Champions League, Al Hilal has the potential to become the champion. plus, Saudi Super Cup. also, King's Cup. So, will Jorge Jesus and his squad be able to win trophies in various other competitions, it will be interesting for us to follow.

Stuttgart's position is slightly safer than Borussia Dortmund, 4 points ahead of Dortmund makes Stuttgart in a safer condition in 3rd place. But in reality, Stuttgart is not yet in a safe condition in the remaining 7 matches until the mission ends. In the 28th week, Stuttgart will play an away match at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund's home ground. apart from that, the match against Frankfurt, visiting Leverkusen and hosting the match against Bayern Munich. So, in the last 7 matches, Stuttgart's performance will be seriously tested to maintain their position in the ranking they currently occupy. Dortmund too, hosting the match against Stuttgart will not be easy for Edin Terzic's squad.  plus, the match against host Leverkusen. At least Dortmund must appear at their best if they want to remain in the top four of the Bundesliga table.

As for Leipzig, it could be said that a fairly strong match for them is the match against Dortmund. Well, in the remaining 7 matches, a team that experiences bad matches, especially the ones we discussed in this thread, could be fatal for them to finish in the top four of the Bundesliga. which means, before this competition ends, each team will go through their match by performing all out to confirm their position in finishing in the top four of the Bundesliga. in fact, it is possible that in the remaining 7 matches, the standings in the top four of the Bundesliga could change. So, let's just follow how each team plays match after match until the end of this competition.

Yeah, Girona is only two points behind Barcelona at the moment. We cannot deny that Michel's squad has traveled a long way, the competition has been competitive until nearing the end of the competition, a team that was initially not considered at all, Gorona, has become one of the differentiating teams in the 2023-24 season. However, their performance before the competition almost ended experienced a decline in performance, Girona began to be unstable in several matches after the match they played.  This competition now has 8 matches remaining until the end of the season, apart from that, Michel's team at least has matches against quite strong teams. If Girona loses in the match against Atletico Madrid, as well as the match against Barcelona, ​​the ranking they currently occupy could be overtaken by a team below their ranking. in particular, Atletico Madrid will host the match in Week 31. If Atletico is able to overthrow Girona at the Metropolitano, it means that Atletico Madrid will further reduce the points gap from the position occupied by Girona. Apart from that, Girona has one match against Barcelona. In the remaining 8 matches until the end of the competition, if Girona is unstable and slips only 3 matches. This provides opportunities for teams below Girona's ranking. To maintain his ranking in the standings table, Michel must restore the performance of his team. If not, maybe Girona will give up the opportunity to get a ticket to the Champions League. So, can Michel restore the performance of his team? Let's just follow it, until the competition ends.

Bayern Munich's position is not in a pleasant condition, especially since several of their main players are still absent due to injury. in particular, the main goalkeeper even though Neuer's performance was actually unstable before he suffered a long injury. if I refer to the information I got, even though there is no real certainty regarding it. however, it is possible that Sven Ulreich will be used as the main goalkeeper when they visit the Gunners' home ground at the Emirates Stadium. If that is the case, as we know, the goalkeeper's performance is very unstable. theoretically, if this prediction fits the scenario. So it is momentum for Mikel Arteta's team even though in football anything can happen.

In the Bayern Munich camp, there are quite a few who are favorites for Bayern to overthrow Arsenal in both the first and second legs. however, it is not an easy job for Thomas Tuchel's team, especially if several of their core players were still injured during the match against Arsenal. however, Tuchel and his team will work as hard as possible to achieve positive results in the match against Arsenal later. I tried referring to the betting options provided by the bookies, if Arsenal are far superior in this quarter-final match. But football is unique, we will know the results after the match is played/finished. so, let's just wait before the meeting between the two teams is held.

Arsenal played the match smoothly, even though they were only able to score two goals. even then, the second goal was a blunder made by the Luton defender. But still, with this victory, Arsenal is now back at the top of the standings, albeit temporarily. now, Arsenal just needs to wait for Liverpool to stumble. however, it seems that Sheffield Utd will be slaughtered by Liverpool in tomorrow's meeting. but we'll see what the results are, even though on paper Liverpool will easily beat their opposing team. referring to the Arsenal match, however, Luton was not an equal opponent. so it's only natural that Arsenal won this match. But it seems that Arteta wanted to play it safe, in the second half he withdrew several of his players so they wouldn't be too tired in the match they would play next. in essence, this match met my expectations. yeah, most of the bettors definitely favor the Gunners.

---

As for the other match, Between City vs Aston Villa, as I said in the previous post. In this match, at least 3 goals will be scored. and yeh, the match ended with a score of 4-1. In this match, Phil Foden appeared very impressive by scoring a hat-trick. It seems that this young player is starting to show improvement in his performance. Apart from that, another player, namely Rodri, also appeared impressive by opening a goal for City and providing one assist. IMO, City this time really shows the difference in quality between these two teams. So, temporarily the position of the standings table has changed. We will watch Liverpool's match tomorrow, and the results will again change the ranking in the standings. even then, if Lverpool smoothly defeats the opposing team. Ah, at least the Premier League this time is quite exciting and interesting, the competition will continue until a team slips up.

Yeah, Milan had a slightly better chance. the reason is, the first leg match was held at San Siro, the headquarters of I Rossoneri. Playing in front of their own supporters will have a big effect on the Milan players' motivation to overthrow AS Roma. Moreover, Milan is performing well in several of its matches in its Domestic League. apart from that, Rome is more favored by bookies. although, Milan has pretty good odds. I mean, bookies don't really favor AC Milan in the meeting of these two teams. If Roma lost against Inter with a score of 2-4, Milan lost worse with a score of 5-1. The point I want to say is that De Rossi's team was able to break into Inter's goal and score two goals.

So, it is not impossible that Roma will also be able to score a goal against Stefano Pioli's team. especially, if the Milan coach continues to apply the same system in almost all matches. which means, De Rossi's team cannot be carried away by AC Milan's style of play. Thus, Roma has a chance to overthrow Milan at the San Siro. I'm curious, what strategies and tactics De Rossi will determine. If he is able to maintain a draw in the first leg meeting, there is a chance for Roma to overthrow Milan at Roma's home ground. Well, so we have different assumptions and perspectives for these two teams. However, we'll just make sure that the battle between these two teams will be held later.

If you refer to the temporary betting market, this match has the potential to end in a draw in the first leg even though it will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. I am quite sure that Ancelotti will not underestimate Pep Guardiola's squad, even though it looks like K Walker and Ederson, the main goalkeeper, will be absent from the meeting between these two teams. City is a strong team, especially when playing against other strong teams. If City does not have injury problems among their players, except for the two players mentioned above, City will appear using an offensive pattern. In this match, Madrid must be careful when hosting City. because, after all, Pep doesn't want to lose points even though the first leg is an away match. If I refer to the City players, it seems they are quite ready to face Madrid in Spain. Pep will of course still rely on his core players, for example De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Haaland and also Silva. Plus, Foden's performance is currently increasing. Apart from that, if we refer to the betting market again, City also has the same probability of overthrowing Madrid in the away match.

On the other hand, Don Carlo should have known and studied City's style of play based on last season's semi-final meeting. In the first leg, the match ended in a draw. when Madrid played at the Etihad Stadium, City beat Madrid with a big score. Therefore, this match is very important for Real Madrid to achieve victory in the first leg. in particular, they must overthrow by an aggregate of many goals. Unfortunately, this will not be easy to treat City like a mediocre team. So, to find out for sure how the results of the battle between these two teams will be. there is no other way, apart from waiting for the quarter-finals of the Chanpions League to be held.

All-in reminds me of the game of poker, I used to really like this game. especially, if we go all-in to bluff our opponent. but now I never play this game anymore, apart from wasting a lot of time, I focus more on other games. For the live casino type, I tend to play Baccarat more. I have experienced many ups and downs, whether it was experiencing a big defeat, or turning around a situation that was initially a loss to gain multiple wins. just like poker, I rarely play this type of game. Now I tend to bet more on sports betting. As for other games, such as slots for example, they are just part of a fad. not to aim for victory, because this game is not related to skill and prediction. however, football involves many variables in researching and analyzing. referring back to your question, all-in reminds me of poker and baccarat players.

For now, I prefer to bet on football. It's just that sometimes the situation is the opposite of what you say. I sometimes go all in on crucial matches, world cups, or matches that I really believe in. although still, the results always involve luck. Well, I will speak based on the gambling I did. so, let's just assume it won the previous 2 singles matches. Well, my bankroll will automatically increase. after that, if I still have other match options that I have researched before. I often bet everything, whether it's my initial bankroll or previous winnings, I bet all-in for a single match. Many times, I suffer defeat because my predictions are wrong.  but not infrequently, I get double the winnings after going all-in. well, for me this is only a problem when we play which involves situations and conditions. For the most part, I'm sure we have a lot of experience related to what we discussed.

That's why until now Nasser Al-Khelaifi is still unwilling to let Mbappe go to another club, the club is making various efforts to keep Mbappe with Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, it seems like Mbappe has really made up his mind to finish his contract and join one of the teams most linked to him. so it's clear, that Mbappe is the only most important player at the moment that Luis Enrique really relies on in his squad, although the system that Enruque uses is more about teamwork games. so it would be a shame if Enrique didn't explore the talents and skills possessed by one of France's star players.
but what can you do, if in the end Mbappe leaves. Paris Saint-Germain must prepare another player instead. Several names have been linked with the French League giants, but we won't be sure until this season ends and the next summer window opens. Well, before this player actually left Paris Saint-Germain. he will do his job very well, showing his consistency in every match. He did this for the club, team and PSG supporters. at the same time, showing his talent and skills to the team that will bring him in next summer. By the way, I can't wait to watch the Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona match in the Champions League quarter-finals.

latest win? I interpret what you mean as the latest big win or breaking a previous record. To be honest, I personally rarely get big wins that are multiple. except, at certain moments. I mean, because I tend to like football betting, especially single bets. So you could say, his winnings could be said to be mediocre. but actually I could target a big win with the multibet betting option, 3 matches with a big bankroll. high odds, the reward is doubled. but I rarely do it, as I said at the beginning, only at certain moments. for example, the world cup, or several crucial matches.

By the way, actually what you say in this thread is a common problem for those of us who are no strangers to gambling. sometimes we lose big, and vice versa, especially when playing Casino games. like slots for example, and such. however, since I am a gambler with a small bankroll, my winnings are mediocre. except when we get Max Win. or, Multibet betting with multiple matches. For me, my gambling depends on my mood, sometimes I play casino games, but I tend to bet on sports. So, our wins vary widely. referring to your last question, yeah, it's not uncommon for me to increase my betting, especially on football. I mean, the initial winnings are all bet on one match that I have chosen. So, in gambling, the way each fan treats it varies. for me personally, I'd rather enjoy than target the latest or bigger win. that way, making me more in control.

Well, we can actually sort out what you said in this post, let's start with you first. initially you start gambling to win some money, or you hope to get the biggest win. then, you claim that gradually your ideas began to change. but still, the common thread is money which is the starting point for you to gamble. although now, perhaps your mindset has changed as you gain more experience.

Referring to the second point, we do not necessarily generalize it to what you think. for example, Athletes, Politicians, and even other rich people. in essence, everyone has a trigger for why they like to gamble and even become addicted. we don't know that at first they gambled, then became addicts. When it comes to money, they have it. Or it could be, they want to get richer from gambling. After all, everyone's thinking patterns are different. Well, let's just take the big picture, most athletes or politicians who like to gamble are initially for entertainment. Or, they meet at a place that has a casino and bar. Then, they try it just for fun and it ends up becoming a hobby. there are also factors from DNA and genes, we discussed this point in the previous thread. So in essence we cannot equalize everyone, you have mentioned several factors in this post. So the point is that each person's addiction is different, even though the essence is the same, they are both addicts.

to be honest, I never once played it in physical mode.  but at least a few times in online mode, even in ordinary games that are not related to betting. referring to your question, I actually can't answer for sure. however, based on my assumptions, this type of claw machine game can be classified as gambling. yeah, like you said. someone who wants to play it, has to dig into their pockets before they can start running the claw machine. It's just that there are differences with real betting or gambling, whether fictional or online based.
As far as I know, claw machines don't have to spend a large bankroll like we make deposits on our favorite casino sites. The claw machine has been set up in such a way, without having to involve large funds. I mean, just one penny we can use this machine. although, sometimes someone can do it repeatedly in order to get the available prizes. of course, we are very familiar with this claw machine, starting from dolls and currently innovating with the various prizes provided. yeah, at least in my country the prizes were initially dolls. but now, there is a variety offered by this type of claw machine. In essence, if money is involved, it is already classified as betting mode. although, there are differences with real gambling. Well, if I observe, there are many who try to do various tricks to get the prizes available. Sometimes, there are those who succeed even though they have done it repeatedly. but I can't comment too far, because I've never really played it. Whether using skills will work, I don't have the answer. I think luck also plays an important role when we play it.

Xabi Alonso has chosen his choice to stay with Leverkusen, this decision he has considered before and I am very confident about it. Previously, when Alonso was linked with Real Madrid, if I'm not mistaken he once stated that he still needed more experience to establish himself as an established coach with experience. plus, become a quality trainer. Maybe that's also why Alonso chose to stay with Leverkusen, as a consequence he is well aware that Bayern Munich will further improve the quality of his team and also bring in an experienced coach. However, Alonso still chose to stay with Leverkusen, even though it is likely that next season will be an increasingly difficult challenge for him to compete with the German League giants.

Not only that, maybe several other elite Bundesliga teams will also improve their squads to make them more competitive. such as RB Leipizig, Dortmund, Frankfurt and maybe even Stuttgart will also deepen so that their teams are more competitive in the coming season. Speaking of Xabi Alonso, he and Leverkusen's sporting director and staff will definitely strengthen their team to continue competing next season. However, it does not rule out the possibility that some of its top players will leave and play for other leagues. I am very sure, Xabi has been wary of such things. Maybe, they also have a target on the list of players who will be brought to BayArena. Well, since this competition isn't over yet, especially the competition in 3rd and 4th place is still quite exciting. Let's just enjoy the remaining matches presented by the Bundesliga.

Honestly, I'm not sure this match will end in a draw like Newcastle vs Everton. Moreover, City plays the match at home. playing in front of TheCitizen supporters, will add motivation to Pep Guardiola's team. This match also proved to Aston Villa that City would beat them with a fairly large score. Yes, considering that in the first meeting, City had to give up with a narrow defeat at home to Aston Villa. in this match it is not just a matter of City's proving match against Aston Villa, but more about remaining in tight competition in the Premier League standings until the end. three points, which is the result they must get against their opposing team. Moreover, bookmakers far favor City over the opposing team. On the other hand, even though Aston Villa was able to beat City in the first week, in this match Aston Villa had to be careful. City will show their best game to get full points. My estimate, there will be 3 goals in this match. or, maybe more than that. 

Before the City vs Aston Villa match, Arsenal will first host Luton. In the first meeting, Luton put up quite a fight even though the match ended 3-4. Now Arsenal are the hosts, just like City, three points is the result that Mikel Arteta's squad must achieve in this match. At the same time, Arsenal will lead the top of the standings, although perhaps only temporarily. especially if we refer to betting options, choosing Arsenal with the 1×2 option is not a wise and ideal choice for me. The point is, Arsenal will win this match and so will City. As for betting options, I think I'll try it when the match is played.

Likewise with me, I speculate that City will be able to overthrow Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Well, we each have our own opinions and speculation regarding the match between these two teams. Currently, we are talking from each perspective plus based on data and statistics. But in football, it's not just about data and statistics. The point is that when the match is held/finished, we will know the results of the match between these two teams.
In this meeting, Madrid will not easily overthrow City. Moreover, City has proven that last season they held Real Madrid to a draw. This season, something similar could happen again. What is certain is that Don Carlo must prepare strategies and tactics to overcome this when hosting Pep Guardiola's squad. even though there is a big possibility that K Walker is absent, Ederson is absent, City has a replacement player instead. Apart from that, I'm pretty sure Pep is also experienced and has a way to overthrow Madrid. at least, even though the match hasn't been held yet. as a coach, Pep has prepared his strategy for the meeting in the quarter-finals later. Likewise with Madrid, City will be a tough opponent that they will face in their next meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As you said, I have said in several previous posts, bookmakers give almost even odds. which means, this match has the potential to result in a draw. or, one of the teams will lose. it could be Madrid, or Manchester City. But what is certain is that if we refer to the temporary betting market, City has the same probability as Madrid to defeat each other in the next match. So, let's just wait because this will be very interesting for us to enjoy.

Al Hilal progressed smoothly even without their mainstay striker, namely Mitrovic. they were able to overcome the match against Al Akhdood with a fairly big win, namely 3-0. Jorge Jesus' team was able to play optimally, even without their mainstay player as a goal scorer in their squad. Saleh Al-Shehri was able to answer Jorge Jesus' trust in this match, who was given the responsibility and opportunity to become the main starter as a pure striker. This local striker contributed 1 goal for his team, at least Al Hilal is still on the right track even though Mitrovic is absent. Jorge Jesus also gave local young stickers a chance, even if only as a substitute.

Referring to the course of the match, Al Hilal dominated ball possession. also, in terms of the opportunities they have as well as based on technicalities. as a result, Al Hilal has almost never been defeated in the 26 matches they have played in the Saudi Pro League. Nevertheless, it is very natural that Al Hilal was able to defeat the opposing team quite smoothly. After all, Al Akhdood is a promotion team which is currently ranked 15th. well, the Saudi Pro League only has a few more matches left in the future. Jorge Jesus' squad only has to win a few more matches in the future, so that the Saudi Pro League trophy will be theirs again.
