The match against City will be a tough match for the Gunners. Even though this match was held at the Emirates Stadium, it was not an easy matter to defeat Pep Guardiola's squad. Next week, this match will be the biggest match of all the available match schedules. Referring to the odds currently available, there is no team that is too superior in terms of odds. Arsenal with @2.75, while Manchester City with @2.41. Before the match is held, the odds can change according to the conditions and situation.

As an Arsenal fan, I hope the Gunners are able to overthrow TheCitizen. The reason is, Arsenal had previously beaten City in the Community Shield even through a penalty shootout. However, thanks to this victory, Mikel Arteta's squad should have great motivation to perform more optimally in the next match. and they must overthrow City in the Premier League. Apart from winning the top position in the standings, this match is a mental testing match for the Gunners squad. Fortunately, in the match City will not be strengthened by Rodri, who is still suffering from a red card.

Apart from that, Pep Guardiola will not implement his 3-2-4-1 pattern. Most likely, Pep will still apply the 4-2-3-1 system. or, 4-3-3.  The point is, City's position is not as strong as when their squad was still complete. for example, De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, even Gundohan. So, there is no reason if Arsenal does not provide fierce resistance in next week's match.

Barcelona remains the favorite team even though this match is being held at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters. and yes, it looks like Barcelona will not include Pedri, De Jong, or even Raphinha. These three players were injured. However, Pedri's status is scheduled to recover before this match starts on October 5. However, it is very likely that he will not be played immediately. As for Raphinha, I haven't followed the progress of his injury. However, Barcelona still has other options if he also has to miss the Champions League match later. What is certain is that Barcelona has players they can rely on even though several of their players are injured. Moreover, if we look at the temporary odds, Barcelona is still at the top with odds @1.87 and Porto @3.90.

Well, I think Barcelona must be careful and not underestimate the home team. because in any case, Porto will target full points to secure their position. So, it looks like this match will be quite an interesting match. The point is, Xavi must properly prepare his squad to face Porto. and I hope that Xavi doesn't experiment with rotating players in inappropriate places. and come on, let's wait for these two teams to meet in the match later.

Honestly, I didn't watch this match, but if I refer to the match statistics. Apart from PSG controlling ball possession, they also had lots of opportunities. tactically, PSG played much better. The performance of the PSG players in this match did not play badly. in fact, they attempted 21 total shots. 10 of them, on target, 5 big chances. but for some reason, they were unable to take advantage of every opportunity they had in the match against Clermont.

On the other hand, Clermont is a team that is in shambles. In their 6 matches just before hosting PSG, they won not a single match. but they had one draw against Toulouse. In the match against PSG, Clermont tended to play a little deeper, aka defensive.  There's nothing wrong with that, it's only natural because the team they are playing against is a tough squad. game-wise, they only play pragmatically even with long balls.
one thing that was the difference in this match, so that the match ended with a draw. Clermont goalkeeper, Mory Diaw, saved his team. His performance was brilliant, making 10 saves. 7 saves in the penalty box.

So, it doesn't seem like PSG is playing badly.  but because they are unlucky, they cannot take advantage of every opportunity they have. Well, in football it is unique because it cannot be predicted accurately. Even a team, no matter how strong, has the potential to experience defeat or a draw.

As I said in the previous post. If, Al-Ahli is experiencing problems within their camp, especially for Firmino as the team's mainstay center forward. I don't know what is their problem, because I rarely watch Saudi Pro League matches. except for big matches like Al Hilal vs Al Nassr, or Al Ittihad.

These three clubs are quite fun to watch. But that doesn't mean that other matches don't provide the enjoyment presented in the matches. I don't dare to speculate too far, because I don't have much information regarding most of the clubs competing in this league. However, it seems that Matthias Jaissie, as Al-Ahli coach, needs other tactics and strategies for his squad. if necessary, he can rotate the front line. If Firmino is able to return to his form, then this team will be a little tougher.

Meanwhile for Al-Ettifaq, this team is under the guidance of Steven Gerarrd. Of course, he has experience both as a player and as a coach. So far, Steven Gerrard has been able to bring his team much better. and now, Al-Ettifaq is in 5th position in the standings.  btw, with a draw in this match, as I predicted in the previous post.

I think there is a difference between Leverkusen and Dortmund. Last season, Dortmund was not much like the start of this season, they experienced problems with their performance. plus, due to the illness of their striker Sebastien Haller who had to be absent for half the season. In the second half of the season, Dortmund performed brilliantly with a positive trend, until the competition for the trophy between Bayern and Dortmund was determined in the final seconds of the Bundesliga match schedule.
The difference with Leverkusen is that at the start of this season they played their matches with a positive trend. Of his 6 matches, he only experienced 1 draw. that too, during the match against Bayern Munich. the rest, they achieved with big wins. However, there is nothing wrong with what you said. If last season Dortmund was Bayern's strongest competitor, this season it looks like Leverkusen will be one of the contenders for the Bundesliga title.

For me, we can't confirm the consistency of Leverkusen or Leipzig. Remember, this competition has only been held for 6 matches.  There are still many games left until the end of this season. If, Alonso is able to bring his squad to remain in an injury-free condition and remain in top condition. they have a chance to break Bayern Munich's dominance. However, it looks like it won't be that easy. if Neuer does not recover in the near future, Tuchel will bring in the ideal goalkeeper. plus, several newcomers to their defensive line. which means, the course of this competition is still difficult for us to predict. There's only one thing we can do, enjoy every match the Bundesliga presents.

Modric, the only Madrid player I appreciate for his work ethic more than other stars. While defending Los Blancos, he always performed completely for the sake of his squad. Likewise, when he played with the Croatian national team, he was always consistent and played at a high level. In this season, as we previously predicted, Modric will sit more on the bench.
Naturally, Ancelotti now has many options with his midfielders. and I'm pretty sure that if Modric is fully aware that when his contract is renewed for another season, he won't be playing as a regular player.

However, because of his loyalty to El Real, and also because his presence is still needed as an established and experienced player, Modric is willing to extend his contract until 2024. Maybe after his contract ends, he could end his professional career as a player. Modric is one of Madrid's legends, if until 2024, he will have spent 12 years with Los Blancos. I think Real Madrid should give him maximum appreciation for the loyalty he has given to the club and team.

At the age of 16, Lamine Yamal has been able to break into Barceloma's main squad. of course, he has better talent and ability characteristics than players of his age. That's why Yamal is currently in the Barcerlona squad under the tutelage of Xavi Henandez. So far, Lamine Yamal has shown extraordinary talent and ability. However, at his current age, Yamal still needs lots of playing hours to increase his experience.
Now Barcelona has several winger options, to replace Dembele who left for Paris Saint-Germain. However, the first choice is Raphinha. I think Lamine Yamal is very good to play more as a supersub. he just needs maturity in his game. Plus, his mentality also needs to be formed. If Raphinha has to miss several matches due to an injury in the Sevilla match, that means Lamine Yamal will be the main starter when Barca play the away match against Porto.

As I said in the previous post, Madrid showed a difference in quality against Girona. Finally, they are now at the top of the standings, one point different from Barcelona. In the next two days, Madrid will visit Napoli's headquarters. Looks like this match will be an interesting match.

We are aware and know very well, no matter how strong a team is, sometimes they will experience defeat. whether it's a player who is underperforming, a mistake by one of the players, or unlucky factors. Well, that's what happened to City in the match against Wolves. even though, City had 23 total shots, 8 shots on target, but what was more unfortunate was that they didn't have a single big chance. even though in reality, City controlled the match. As for Haaland, in this match he was unable to add to his tally of goals. Fortunately, they are still at the top of the standings even though they are 1 point behind Spurs and Arsenal.

As for Spurs, in the match against Liverpool they were really lucky which ended in victory for them. I don't know how long Ange Postecoglou will keep his team on the right track. However, my prediction is that they will not last long to remain in the top four of the Premier League standings.

Arsenal, I'm happy they won the match and reduced the points gap from City. in the match against Bournnemouth, it seemed like Harvertz was given the opportunity to score from the penalty spot. Thus, it is hoped that he will be even more motivated for future matches.

For United, Ten Hag still has the opportunity to take his team to the level he wants. but before that, he had to solve all the problems that occurred in their camp.
Chelsea, this team is difficult to predict. Moreover, if they continue to rely on Nicolas Jackson as a center forward.
Liverpool, in the next few weeks, they will have difficulty playing their matches. the absence of a player who was given a red card, Gakpo's injury. make, Jugen Klopp has to think about other options.

United's problem is consistency and discipline, actually they have quite good players. However, it seems that the players are not playing solidly. I think Ten Hag has other additional work besides rebuilding his team's squad performance. he must make his team play solidly, he must take firm action to discipline it.
Previously, United was able to beat Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup. However, when they hosted in the Premier League, it seemed they were having difficulties because there was not good cooperation between their teammates. even though in the Premier League match, Ten Hag played his full squad. but in fact, United actually lost to Crystal Palace. United have not yet resolved the problems within their camp, the absence of Antony, the suspension of Shanco, means they have to lose several players.

On the other hand, Galatarasay is not a very strong team for them to beat.
So, Ten Hag must bring his team to get full points. Moreover, the match was held at Old Trafford. However, before the match against Galatarasay, Ten Hag must evaluate his players to achieve what he hopes. now, the dressing room issue is Ten Hag's priority, IMO.

Look, what you say is a small factor in the phenomena that occur in our lives, the environment and even the family. It's not just a problem with gambling, so you have to look for data and percentages to compare how fatal the consequences are. on the other hand, the tendency towards other addictions is more extreme than gambling. There are many addicts who not only commit violence against the people around them, they don't even discriminate as to who their victims are, including hurting themselves. 

Drug addiction can usually be more fatal in cases of violence where a person's psychological condition is very unstable and can change at any time. Likewise in the case of gambling, you don't need to become an addict when you experience defeat, especially if it involves big money. There will be anger that arises within you, if you are unable to suppress it. will ruin your mood, and affect psychological changes. When you are disturbed, you will easily be provoked by emotions which can have fatal consequences, such as the case you described in this thread.

Well, this problem is not just a government problem. However, so does our role as citizens in government itself. The point is, it depends on how a person uses reason and a healthy mind. that in gambling, it is not an opportunity to get rich quickly. and an effective and useful way for young people is that they must be aware and utilize their own resources towards a better future. If it doesn't start from oneself, whatever the government does in any program will not work well and be on target. The point is, does this have anything to do with gambling in general?.

De Jong was initially not included in Xavi Hernandez's squad project last season. It seems that Xavi trusts Sergio Buesquet and his two La Masia players more. but after they slipped in the Champions League, Xavi tried to implement a new system by pairing double pivots. In the end, Sergio Busque's weakness due to age could be overcome by De Jong's agility, which was still fresh and prime. Since then, Xavi has always made De Jong the main starter in his squad.

If we talk about clubs eyeing De Jong, there are several clubs interested in his services. apart from United who want him, because Ten Hag really knows his former students. Several other clubs have been linked, including Bayern Munich, who want to borrow him, as well as PSG and Liverpool. However, this Dutch player remains loyal to the club he loves even though his salary has been cut quite deeply. So, Barcelona should renew De Jong's contract, even though in his current contact De Jong will still be with Barcelona until 2026. As a La Braugrana supporter, I am very happy if this Dutch player is still willing to play with the Catalan team.

Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq.

This match, according to what I predicted in the previous post. even though Al-Ahli is superior in this match, both in terms of player depth, being the home team and at the same time based on the odds held by the home team. Unfortunately, the home team was unable to win this match. One of the main factors for me is that Firmino seems to be having problems scoring goals in match after match. After making his debut, he looked very convincing by scoring a hat-trick. but after that, Firmino seemed to lose his sharpness. Even though he didn't play badly in this match, the fact is that he was unable to give his squad a win.
I think Mattihias Jaissle has to find a way to break his team's deadlock. if necessary, he can change the system. or, rotate some of the players to find the ideal formula. If it continues like this, Al-Ahli will have difficulty entering the top 4 of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Meanwhile, Al-Ettifaq provided fairly balanced resistance. Even though they only had a total of 4 shots, they had 3 big chances. It's only natural that Steven Gerrard's squad has difficulty penetrating their opponent's defense line. because in terms of players, the two teams have quite a gap. As for Moussa Dembele, he underperformed. As a result, the match ended 0-0, and both teams had to be willing to share the points.

As I said in the previous post, if this match will produce a lot of goals. and yep, Leipzig as the home team was able to take the lead in the 20th minute. 6 minutes later, Leipzig doubled its lead to 2-0. In fact, several of Leipig's main players were absent from this match due to injury. Even though they are 2-0 behind, I am still optimistic that Bayern will get back up and provide fiercer resistance to score goals for their squad.
In the end, Kane reduced the position from a penalty shot. Yep, Kane didn't waste this opportunity.  In the 70th minute, it was Leron Sane's turn to take advantage of a pass from Musiala and score the equalizer in this match. final result, Bayern and Leipzig must be willing to share 1 point. In the previous post I said that Bayern would win this match, but both teams would score goals.

My prediction was wrong, I thought Bayern would win first. but in fact, Leipzig was able to take the lead quickly. well, as I said in many posts. Tuchel must have a way to help Ulreich be more agile and alert when his position is under attack. This is what makes me think, if Tuchel doesn't think about how to deal with his defense line or the goalkeeper. So, in crucial matches Bayern has the potential to concede.
Now, the position in the standings has been taken over again by Bayer Leverkusen who were able to beat Mainz with a score of 0-3. and interestingly enough, Stuttard, progressed with a positive trend after falling to Leipzig. Now, they are in 2nd place, 1 point adrift of Munich. Well, it's interesting, I'm sure every week the standings have the potential to change.

In this match, Madrid showed their existence that they were stronger than Girona. Not even 25 minutes had passed in the first half, Madrid had scored two goals against Girona. although in fact, in this match Girona put up quite an interesting resistance. Unfortunately, they were unable to utilize every opportunity they had. The two teams did not have much difference in terms of total shots throughout the match, only Madrid was superior to Girona.
However, this match clearly shows that the two teams have differences in quality even though Girona is in a positive trend. Madrid proved their quality and were able to win this match. As a result, Madrid shifted the top of the standings again.

My previous assumption was that this match would not produce many goals, in fact I doubted that both teams would score. so I speculated, ideally betting on Under 3.25 goals with odds of 1.71. but with a result of 0-3, at least, this bet is won by half. So, it's not as bad as I predicted. OK, so now it seems clear.  It seems like there will only be two teams competing fiercely in the race for the League trophy. Madrid and Barcelona are only one point apart, while Girona, perhaps their performance will decline after this defeat.

Well, not an interesting week, because there are no big games. However, the results of several matches this week surprised us and I can confirm that many people lost their bets this week. Man City suffered defeat for the first time, and it was not from a strong team, namely Wolves, even though Wolves' first goal was created by an own goal from Ruben Diaz.

Likewise with city rivals, Manchester United narrowly lost at their home ground Old Trafford by Crystal Palace. even though, United controlled the game and even had many opportunities. but in fact, they had difficulty creating goals. Hojlund, didn't do much in this match. However, actually several other players performed quite well. In the end, United was in 10th place in the standings.

Spurs vs Leverpool, they were at an advantage with two other Liverpool players being sent off. even though he had equalized, unfortunately Gakpo was pulled out and replaced by Diogo Jota because he seemed to be injured. Unfortunately, Jota was also sent off because he had received two yellow cards. in this match, apart from experiencing defeat. Liverpool were disadvantaged by injured players and had to be absent due to red cards.

The Gunners, my favorite team in the Premier League. they were able to win this match, they even won the match with a landslide score. As supporters, we are happy that they won their match while others did not get maximum results.

Al-Ahli is actually a promoted team this season, in the 2022/2023 season they play in division 1. Now, this team has been acquired by PIF. and become one of the elite clubs in this competition. Al-Ettifaq is a middle-class team, but they prioritize players from their academy. In this match, the home team is superior to Al-Ettifaq. It's natural, Al-Ahli is one of the clubs that has several former top European star players.

Meanwhile for Al-Ettifaq, they don't really prioritize bringing in famous stars. Maybe of the existing foreign players, only Jordan Herdeson has a big name. As for Moussa Dembelle, he didn't really shine in the European league. What concerns this team is that it is managed by Steven Gerrard. In this match, both teams will likely play with an offensive system, both targeting full points. However, because Al-Ahli is more favorite. Plus, this match is being held at their headquarters, it is very natural that the bookie will favor it.

But my prediction is that this match will be quite tough. even though it looks like Al Ahli will dominate the match. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to overthrow Al-Ettifaq, they have only lost once in their 7 matches. that too, against Al Hilal. There is a big possibility that this match will end in a draw.
BTW, this fight also brings together former players from Liverpool. In the next few minutes, the match will be held so enjoy watching it.

For City, we have reviewed this team a lot. yep, you're right, after all City is still the favorite team in this competition, even though City's expectations are not like last season. But in reality, Pep hasn't shown the system he really wants. in some of his matches in the Premier League, he tends to play their young players. Apart from that, several players suffered re-injuries. although in the match against Leipzig, City players can certainly recover from their injuries, with the exception of De Bruyne.

In the Bayern camp, since Kane's arrival in the Bavaria squad, this team has been very productive in terms of scoring goals. However, this team will have quite a problem if they meet other strong teams. The problem is, Bayern often concedes when they meet quite strong teams. for example, in the German Super Cup match, Bayern versus Leverkusen. also, when hosting United at the Allianz Arena. Ulreich, always concedes when he meets teams that are also competitive. and this is a job for Tuchel, how he can overcome the weaknesses in his goalkeeper.

For me, there are other teams that also have the potential to advance to the next phase, maybe even to the final match later. Real Madrid is still in the category because after all they have a winning mentality and luck. Barcelona, ​​maybe not as ideal as City or Bayern.  However, this team has quite competitive depth depending on how Xavi processes his strategy and system. One more thing, I hope Arsenal will give their best game even though their chances are very slim compared to the teams mentioned above.  At least, they will qualify for the group phase and also have the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 later. but in the end, we just need to wait until the end of each match in the Champions League. After that, we will find out which team is lucky to advance to the final round.

This match will be held in the next few hours, and it looks like both teams are quite ready to fight. on the Madrid side, now Ancelotti can return to playing Vini Jr as the main starter against Girona. The presence of Vini Jr in this match will be very necessary for Ancelotti to overthrow the home team. As usual, Don Carlo seems to be using the same system as in other matches. Brazilian striker duo on the front line, Bellingham is back as an attacking midfielder. However, for the back line, it is very likely that Alaba will be absent from this match. because he suffered an injury when Madrid played against Las Palmas. So, its status is doubtful.

In the home team's camp, Michel usually applies two patterns which are his mainstay systems. they can play with a 4-1-4-1 pattern, which means Girona will appear with an offensive strategy. However, I am more confident that Michel will play safely with a 4-5-1 system. According to the scenario, Girona will hold Real Madrid players in the midfield sector. But we'll see what system Michel will implement for his squad.

Referring to betting, Girona with odds @3.60 and while Real Madrid @1.93. It seems clear, Madrid is still the favorite and the odds are quite tempting. However, I suspect that the match will be quite tough. I hesitate to predict this match, but my speculation is that the ideal option is betting on Under 3.25 goals with odds @1.71. I predict, there won't be many goals in this match.

Therefore, it is very likely that Mbappe will miss this match while recovering from an ankle injury against Marseille. even though the PSG star trained on Friday, it is likely that Luis Enrique will not field him ahead of the Champions League match at Newcastle headquarters on Wednesday. It could also be that Mbappe will be rested to save his energy so he can return to his prime. 

Referring to several PSG line-up predictions, in this match there are several possibilities that could occur. however, I am quite sure that Randal Kolo Muani will be the center forward. Well, if Mbappe won't be playing in this match. There is a possibility that either Goncalo Ramos will play on the wing or Enrique chooses to rotate Bradley Barcola. for other players, it is likely that nothing will change. and it looks like Enrique will return with his 4-3-3 system. We will see how consistent PSG's front line players are in this match.
Even though Clermont is not a difficult opponent for them to beat, that doesn't mean the home team won't put up any resistance. At least, Kolo Muani or Goncalo Ramos must prove their skills in this match. theoretically, Paris Saint-Germain will beat Clermont easily. If they win this match, PSG will automatically occupy the top of the standings.

Well, what's interesting is what we discussed in this post. PSG's match against Newcastle will be the match we are looking forward to.

I think, not only because of the H2H history of the meetings between these two teams. however, because Hoffenheim's defense did not play disciplined and Dortmund's first goal was scored by Nicklas Fullkrug. Julian Brandt was able to take advantage of a mistake from Hoffenheim's defensive line, which was continued by Nicklas Fullkrug and became his first goal of the season.
As for Hoffenheim, they pulled back to 1-1 from the penalty spot. unfortunately, once again Hoffenheim's defense played so inconsistently that in the end Marco Reus took advantage of an empty gap and scored a goal. However, one of the best goals scored by Dortmund was from Julian Ryerson, who dribbled the ball and was able to get past the two players who were blocking him. in the end, Dortmund was able to win this match.

As for the home team, some players played well but overall they were inconsistent. even though Hoffenheim actually had many opportunities, unfortunately not a single goal was scored. especially in the second half, Hoffenheim appeared to play very aggressively and they had more control of ball possession. However, because he was too busy attacking, in the end Dormund was able to counterattack and score three goals which ended the match. As a result, what we predicted was wrong.

In the next few hours, there will be an interesting match between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. I'm sure Bayern will win this match, but it looks like the match will be quite exciting with both teams scoring goals.
