But unfortunately, it is still not easy for Juventus to regain its great dominance in Serie A. Because anyway, even though this season Juventus only plays in Serie A, but from the 8 matches Juventus played so far. In fact, Juventus still not get good results and yes, at least those results made Juventus should to work even harder. So yes, although Juventus have a chance to get the scudetto agsin this season, but the reality will never easy. Also, there is no strong guarantee for Juventus to win the scudetto this season, because Juventus performance still not been completely consistent.
Having only serie A matches to play should be an advantage enough for Juventus over other teams, because they will have an ope schedule which will not be too tight for them to play, and this will also reduce their fatigue proneness, because they will have enough time for resting and planning better for each games. But it's sad that this doesn't seem an advantage enough for them.

They have not really been at their best this season such that I at some point want to think they are yet to fully recover from the issues they had last season but then it's expected they should have by now they should be tops on the table or probably be at the number one position on the table. They still have some time so let's hope it will be enough for them to probably get back on their feet and take the lead as the aught to and this time I'm hoping they finish well by the end of the season enough to qualify for the next season of the UCL next year.

Even though Barcelona is unbeaten so far, that also doesn't mean Barcelona has a guarantee of the La Liga title this season. Because after all, the evidence is that even though Barcelona has not been defeated so far, but why, why Barcelona not at the top in the standings. Because usually, when a team manages to go undefeated, then of course that team is at the top of the standings, but for Barcelona at this moment, Barcelona current position is even below Girona. Therefore, at least there is no definite guarantee for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season, because the league is still long, of course Real Madrid also has a big chance of maintaining its top position throughout this season.
A team staying unbeaten doesn't mean they have won all their encounters with other teams, it's very possible a team can continually draw with every team they come across in the season and stay unbeaten and that will definitely not give them enough points to be at the top of the table, Barcelona's unbeaten status this season has some draw which gave them just a point so they can't top with such alone.

I agree that Barcelona is not guaranteed to win the league title this season and ofcourse at this point nobody is actually guaranteed to win either as we still have a long way to go with the season, it's True that cumulative performances from now will definitely have a way in determining how possible a team will possibly win the league title.

Real Madrid at this point stand a chance more than Barcelona does but then since football if filled with so much of uncertainties, it's very possible along the line Barcelona will pick up form again and perform so well they could get a chance at the top and probably be on the race again to win the title, so I think it's yet still too far to be sure who is most likely to win the title.

Yes, usually we saw PSG which are consistent but this season we see Nice which are really great at maintaining their performance. The Nice players are very solid, they already proven that because they haven't lost so far. Although Nice doesn't have a top striker, but this team have something that other teams don't have, I mean good cooperation between players. Nice can beat Monaco which is on fire, and Nice can beat PSG the strongest team in Ligue 1. Nice achievements this season are truly impressive, although it is too early to say this but I think Nice team will be difficult to beat this season.

yes, Nice this season has a better performance. they have a more solid and quite consistent game than other teams, even PSG, which tends to experience instability in the team.
I think another team that has performed impressively this season is Brest. In previous seasons they were not too dominant. but this season Brest started very well. even better than Marseille and Rennes.
the team that experienced a surprising decline I think was Lens. I don't know what's wrong with their team, but this season they started very badly. unlike last season which performed very well.
But the question is will they be able to maintain everything they have shown so far? Because I'm not just one or two times seeing clubs in Ligue 1 lose stability after they play well. That's what I still doubt about them, and actually it's not just them that I doubt, but almost all the clubs here I doubt in maintaining their consistency. I want a league that presents a more interesting competition, and interesting it is not from their inconsistency, because I see more interesting competition now because they show poor consistency.
This too has been my greatest concern too because we have seen cases where teams like this battle it up there impressively and after some time they become so bad they are once again displaced by the bigger boys in the league so if they can't really be consistent with what they have started by mid season, then I think there was no need for all this show of what seem like improvement.

But the for now the rise of all these teams who were once considered weak to the top of the table has indeed made the league more competitive with a little of fun, because the league been unpredictable makes it a bit fun to want to watch has you rather have to anticipate all you can. Nice is one team whose improvement inmost say has brought the most fun as seen in the Ligue 1 this season, we are very hopeful PSG will get better soonest and displace the smaller teams and lead on once again because I know there's still enough of time for such come back.

Stuttgart are certainly very happy to see the development of their striker who entering his second season, is showing something that is very hopeful, the productivity of their striker has made Stuttgart's game even better, and seeing the progress so far, Stuttgart will at least not face a relegation playoff like last season, even though in the next match they will face a strong team will face defeat but will gain points again when facing a mediocre team because Stuttgart will always have doubts that they will remain in this position.
Quite curious about Guirassy's fate next season, whether Stuttgart will keep him or sell him to gain financial benefits, like Dortmund and Leipzig who sold players who were quite shining in the team, and my guess is they will sell when some elite club makes a high enough offer.
For now I admire the performance of all the Stuttgart players, not only the attackers but also the midfield player and the defense, who are very strong and look more stable even though they have to compete strongly with club in Bundesliga, but in fact they managed to get 5 wins without being defeated and this makes us all a little surprised by Stuttgart improvement this season as they will overtake big club like Bayern Munich.
I'm not saying other clubs are bad, but it just that I really admire the current performance of the Stuttgart club which is really dynamic and has very good partnership as you said.
The upcoming match against Union Berlin makes me curious to look forward to that match because Union Berlin is also one of the strong clubs and whether Stuttgart is also able to beat that club and if they really can beat Union Berlin I'm sure Stuttgart will end up in second or first place in the table points.
Stuttgart overtaking Bayern Munich is something I don't see really happening anytime soon as Bayern Munich is not such a weak team to want to at this time seen as on that can would just be overtaken by Stuttgart in the space of a very short time, although the strength of Stuttgart recently is really amazing and has become one that is seen as been formidable but not enough yet to overtake Munich.

We have the likes of Leverkusen and Dortmund to be considered first before Stuttgart would be considered enough over Munich, comparing the caliber of players at Munich they definitely wouldn't be good comparison with Munich. I'm looking forward to Stuttgart maintaining this strength they have got and been consistent with it, if they do they are definitely finishing a good spot on the table this season but they can't win the league title as there are better contenders, they can only gain more attention and recognition by the end of the season. I'm looking forward to a better performance from them in the game against Berlin.

what I see at the moment is that the opponent that will make it difficult for Arsenal to qualify for the next round is Lens or Sevilla who are unbeaten in this UCL match while Arsenal experienced 1 defeat against Lens at that time and I can not imagine whether Arsenal will be able to beat Sevilla in the match which will come but what is certain is that the opportunity for draw seems very certain but playing away will not make it easy for Arsenal to defend attacks from Sevilla and it looks like Arteta will think of many ways to anticipate strong attacks from Sevilla with defensive formation.
Sevilla is the home team, and it will be very difficult for Arsenal to play this match away. But before this match, Sevilla will have a very difficult match in La Liga with Real Madrid, so Arsenal can count on the fact that Sevilla can spend a lot of effort in this match, although perhaps for Sevilla in this case the Champions League match will be a priority. Before the match with Sevilla, Arsenal will face Chelsea, perhaps not the most difficult opponent, but in recent matches they have begun to play better.
Playing a defensive formation is something I don't think arteta will be doing, if against Manchester city their biggest rivals they didn't play a defensive pattern I don't think they would do that with Sevilla, I don't think Sevilla have such an attacking/strike force that will be enough to send arsenal defensive arteta will be having Saka right in the front to get se creativity for chance's and get Gabriel to score the goals.

Sevilla is actually going to have it really hard contrary to the idea of Playing from home been and advantage for them, I feel it's not an advantage enough. This match as got so much at stake for arteta as it will be one of the determinants of how far he will go in the UCL so I'm sure he will leave nothing to  making sure he secure a win or a draw at worse.

Just before the UCL Sevilla have got a domestic league game to play which will definitely affect their productivity at the UCL because the game is aswell important to them so they are going to invest some more effort in that game, this could be an advantage for arsenal, in la Liga is not considered a strong team so I doubt if that strength will be seen in the UCL except they will be lucky but then I'm most certain of a win for Arsenal or a draw.

Manchester United team is 10th in the points table. The team is not performing very well. It is important for Manchester United to stay inside the 5th place in the points table so that the team can create a chance to achieve something good.
It really looks unrealistic to see Manchester United to stay at 5th position when they currently only have mediocre players and it's still long to go the transfer window will reopen. Manchester United just need to make sure they will not follow Chelsea's path, I think they're still on a way to become Chelsea 2.0 where they lose against mediocre clubs.

Their next match against Sheffield United, will they lose again? Cheesy

I am not sure what is wrong with them but they need someone to step up. Last season it was Rashford but this season everyone is off the mark. It's the same team like last season but it seems to be that they have lost their confidence and that is why they are beginning to lose their form. Ten Haag again has lot to do like when he joined the team and brought down the changes.

Blades doesn't seems like a tough opponent but the form United are in right now makes it doubtful for United also. However United are definitely the favourites.
The recent results the team keeps getting in recent times is enough discouragement for the players to get them loose their confidence, sometimes I try to narrow the issues with Manchester united to a certain aspects of their play but sadly it turns out that it's all interrelated as the reason a certain aspect is not very functional could be linked to the weakness of the other.

Taking a good look at the defense, your would see and understand that the defense is lacking in communication and they don't seem to have that chemistry that is supposed to bind them to create a team play, this on the other hand weakens the strikers as when ever Manchester united happens to first concede a goal, they are pressured to gat a goal first before getting a lead of which if the defense were solid enough some goals could be avoided, sometimes the strikers have to fall back to assist the defense and this could be stressing on them, lastly the midfield is gradually becoming messy as the lack the ability to get full control of the ball from midfield and move it to their opponents side of the field, I hope they improve and win their next game against Sheffield.

Ronaldo wants to stay until 2027 in Saudi Arabia and he also wants to finish his career over here. Do you think it is the right choice for him ? I personally think it is as no other club in Europe will give him the chance to actually be active playing at the age of 40 , right ? So I think staying in Saudi to finish his career is the right choice for him. Also , this will give him the chance to actually play another World Cup as he still wants to have at least one final tournament before he fully retires.
It's true that no Europe team would want to give him a chance to participate in active football up until that age as he will most definitely drop in his performance drastically, the age factor cannot be overlooked, Europe definitely wants vibrant and young minds who can deliver results as football in Europe is pure business and the investors there wouldn't want to risk it with an old player like him.

I think him wanting to play one more world cup tournament before retirement is not really ideal for him as he will not be giving out the best of performance by 2026, he will be 39 by then and he will definitely not have enough stamina to play full 90mins, his impact might not be felt all that in the games and it's very possible he may not have what it takes to lead the Portuguese to the finals or win the title so I really don't see a point.

Except he just wants to participate for the last time for records and lastly retiring at age 40 from active football is aswell not ideal because he will definitely be giving out poor performance that will make him of lesser value so it's better he retires while he is still valued with all he has achieved, it's better to exit the stage when the ovation is still high.

Who is gonna put MEssi in doubt for the next world cup? Man he is gonna play no matter what, the only thing that can stop him for playing is a serious injury because he is no longer young anymore, he now is old.

Yesterday i saw the news about Cristiano, tlling he is gonna play also this next world cup, i think he can but lets see.

I am not that sure whether he will be interested in playing. Just a few months ago, he rejected a billion plus USD offer from Saudi Arabia and chose to move to the United States instead. His wife wanted to settle down in the US, and that was one of the reasons why he made that decision. Given all this, I don't think that he will continue to play for another 3 years. My guess is that he wants another year or so with the Major League Soccer (MLS), and after that he is going to retire from professional football.
Talking about his wife influencing his decision to play at the MLS in the United States because she wants to settle there, Messi is a very much family oriented person as seen most time in both picture and videos he post online and on social platforms. It's very true his family will have Avery big influence on his decision to continue professional footballs till the time world cup will be held, obviously he may most likely retire after his play at the MLS.

If his family doesn't find it really comfortable he playing the world cup he most likely wouldn't consider the offer even if he is been called as age will aswell not be on his side, but then let's keep an open mind and watch out and see how everything plays out as we still have about two years ore more to the next world cup games, but honestly for the fun of it I would have loved to see Messi this last time at the world cup but then if he chooses not to it's still fine but if he eventually chooses not to then let him take up  a coaching role with the coaching crew for his national team, I think he will be more useful there.

Perhaps they feel uncomfortable with other people's opinions in their environment, so they continue to hide their gambling activities so that there will be problems with these people. Each person chooses to hide or even show it to their environment, whichever makes them feel comfortable telling the truth to others.

Perhaps we would say that is a wrong vision, but not for them because they certainly have their own considerations. We just need to know it because that's what they want. Yes, you are right that there are IFs, which would be a reason people hide or show them to others. Whether you become addicted or can still control your gambling activities will depend on each person because we gamble using our money, and we should be able to be responsible with ourselves and our money.

It depends really on the preferences of a person. Some person might be comfortable with many people knowing their gambling habits, however some might find a hard time sharing it with others. And no matter what reason they might have, it's all valid. Perhaps some people have a negative experience about others knowing it such as others invading their privacy or prying too much on their personal lives to the point they feel like suffocating because others have so much opinion for them or controls how they should act. So I totally get it if some prefer to keep being low key and have only few people know about their gambling habits.
Rightly said it's a more of a preference related thing, some persons are introverts and can be secretive with their habits regardless of the form in which it takes, they also may have persons they place some level of trust on to be confidential with the information if shared with them, so these person would rather just share with a few persons especially those with which they share common view that sharing with the public.

Meanwhile some share their gambling habits wilt the public with reasons of making more money sharing their picks to the public, as this will attract people to subscribing to their various channels especially when their predictions turns out to be winner more often, you find people getting interested in their channels and end up subscribing both for VIPs and regular, that way these persons end up making more money from these subscription. these and many other reasons are why some persons do keep their gambling habit either public or make it private.

Btts @1.66 over 2 @1.38 over 2.5@1.8

There may be no a lot of goals to happen for this match. Over 2 odds is very small compared btts. I would to say if the chance for btts to happen is having same chance to happen with over 2.5 but i would prefer to take btts instead of over 2.5
Marseille will be facing a strong club this season in the league 1. It doesn't even make sense for me to take 1x2 nice caused by marseille was also very strong at this moment.

Even though marseille was placing below nice but it can't be underrated team at this moment. Im feeling if nice will win the game but luck is also playing an important role in this game.
Nice remains my favourite for this game and I think they are going to win considering they are at advantage from home, Nice happens to be at the top of the table with an unbeaten record in the Ligue 1 this season, which by all indication they wouldn't want to start their loosing streak at home to Marseille who happens to be at sixth position on the table with some kind of weak stats

Not to undermine Marseille but then I think they are not going to win but may probably secure a draw, although it's possible that regardless of the odds anything possible can happen as there have been cases of such in recent past but at this point, Nice stand to be at a competitive position such that loosing this single match would cost them a lot as the other two teams behind them is just with a difference of one point so they may fall to fifth position if they loose this match and PSG wins along side Brest, so Marseille would have to play hard and if they are lucky they could get a draw, but they are most unlike to get a win but then this is football where anything is possible.

Mendilibar's time has ended at Sevilla recently and Diego Alonso has been appointed to the manager position. Sevilla have started to change their manager very often in the recent times. Sampaoli, Mendilibar and now Diego Alonso... I don't believe this is a good action to take for a team.

Because the system mostly changes and the players have to adapt to the new one every time. They have to get along with the new manager as well. Rather than that I think Sevilla should have given it some time. They won the Europa League title with Mendilibar in the end.
I think Sevilla should not rush in sacking Jose Luis Mendilibar. Because Mendilibar was actually an important figure who brought big changes to the Sevilla squad last season. Sevilla even avoided the relegation zone in Laliga and managed to win the Europa League title with Mendilibar.
Even though Sevilla haven't shown a good performance this season, I still think that giving more time to Jose Luis Mendilibar would be much better. Because currently Sevilla also has an important match in the Champions League. And of course changing the current coach is a bad decision.

Even if Diego Alonso could become a good coach for Sevilla, improvements will not occur instantly. Everything definitely requires adaptation and is quite a long process. And actually, Sevilla currently doesn't have enough time to adapt to a new coach. Because a busy match schedule and a change of coach will only make things worse.

Sevilla in the Champions League currently has not experienced a defeat nor has they won. Two matches only ended in draws. And I think that's still quite better than losing. But I'm also curious whether Diego Alonso will really make a drastic improvement in Sevilla's performance or if it will actually get worse. Let's see.
Personally I don't think Sevilla have a coaching problem so they shouldn't be in a haste to sack Luis Mendilibar considering how well he has performed so far in with the team, last season he helped them finish reasonably in the league and even qualified for the UCL something that initially felt difficult for the team, so he is considerably still worth giving some time maybe he could improve.

Although Sevilla hasn't been at their best this season but they aren't at their worse either and the season is still yet halfway so there is still enough room for improvement, he should only improve in his tactics and his formation, they may most likely start getting some wins enough to take them up the table again. The frequent change of manager could affect the teams performance and this time it may most likely not turn out really fine as the teams is already getting along with their currently manager, any changes will mean a start all over again and this is not healthy especially for their position in the UCL.

ofc reliable income through gambling is not sustainable. Be careful tryint to use bonuses to earn also.
It’s not only sustainable it’s also highly unadvisable because we will be filled with disappointment like the Op, one thing is that we should always have a source and means of earning and gambling can just be use as mean of trying luck if we can win extra money which can help us grow.

Bonus I see that as one of the annoying way of scamming gamblers we get deceived by the amount that’s giving to us as bonus but the wager that is required to clear off that bonus is one thing that looks like we are just working for the casino, bonuses unless for those who are always lucky enough to clear up the requirement if not I see it as a means of reducing winning chances.
Bonuses in some cases make you unable to withdraw the little wins you are able to have gathered at times, because the wager on it will sometimes require you to win almost twice the amount and in most case the chances are very very slim so you may end up still loosing everything to the casino, it's more likely a bait to attract more gambler to their platform so they can make more profits.

Winning doesn't really affect the mental health what really does affect the mental health I think is losses, when there is a continues series of losses, the person experiencing such tends to loose their minds aswell and in some cases try to want to get back at the casino by staking bigger in oder to win big and probably recover all they have lost o far and most times they end up in even more losses than they would if they were not playing with such mindset, it's always advised you play for fun and play responsibly that way you keep yourself at lesser risk .

Napoli's start to the new season was not very optimistic. They are ranked 5th, 7 points behind top team AC Milan. This caused coach Rudi Garcia's chair to shake violently. After the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti, who helped Napoli win the Serie A championship, Garcia - who previously led Lyon and Al-Nassr, was given the opportunity to help the home team defend the title. However, he had a difficult start. If he does not improve the team's situation, he may be fired.
Antonio Conte is the number 1 name if Rudi Garcia is fired. Currently, he has yet to find a new job since leaving Tottenham in March. Coach Conte's talent was proven when he won the Serie A championship with Juventus and Inter Milan. Will Napoli's leadership fire Garcia?
Definitely considering that the Napoli's leadership has little to no tolerance to consistent failure they will definitely fire Garcia soonest considering recents that has been happening in the team and the fact that Garcia has proven to be unable to manage the team properly amidst crisis and produces desired results for a team who is the most recent champions of the league.

Conte is most likely to get a job soon considering his records he has achieved so far before now, he stands to be a better replacement for Gracia but I think bringing him in in the middle of the season wouldn't be a perfect idea although it's possible he could give out good performance but the players may have it a bit hard trying to cope with the new strategy he will be introducing and to them and his coaching style so it will be better if Gracia is fired by the end of the season. It's possible he could improve before the season runs out but then if the team finish anything below top three on the table then Gracia should be considered to have failed

Guirassy has been like one man army for Stuttgart. He scored more than 50% of the number of goals the team have scored so far. His career has evolved into something different since he joined Stuttgart by the way. There is even a huge difference between his last season performance and this one.

But of course it is still doubtful how long Stuttgart can move on like this. Despite Guirassy's incredible scoring effort I don't think they can be a part of a title competition this season. But maybe this high effort can help them to get a ticket for a European competition next season.  Smiley
Most times it's very true that the team where you find yourself affects how well to will gain recognition except you become so exceptional that your skill alone is making the team break forth to unusual stands in the league. This can be seen in the case of Guirassy, the team Stuttgart where he is currently playing is not know for having excellent  performance in the league.

Stuttgart is usually consider an average team in the bundesliga as the always manage to finish in safe spots to keep them in the league, although I'm not too sure but I doubt if they have won the league title before as champions, so all this contribute to their little status, but with the current performance of Guirassy that is rapidly taking them up the table they will get the desired attention needed and am sure soon bigger teams may develop interest in guirassy and Stuttgart will either want to retain him or use him as an opportunity to enlarge the teams purse.

Honestly, I do love your prediction. Both Galatasaray and Bayern Munich are having same home and away records this season, they both have won four game and ended up drawing one
Imagine what the next possible outcome would be?  I'm in this with you, you get me?

I don't have a good idea of the players in and those absent but these statistics tells me it'll end as a full draw or both of them sides scoring themselves that to be safe.

Arsenal would be hosted when they travel to Spain for the clash between Sevilla and Gunners. I expect gunners winning but Sevilla recently dumped the Europa League winning coach for a new, there'll be improvement. But less positivity until it's done.

I also predict Munich will win even though it is a bit difficult. I predict this match will not end with a difference of 3 goals or more. Both teams are equally strong even though Munich's level is far above Galatasaray. I still choose a Munich win even though a draw is also very possible. For Arsenal, I'm sure Arsenal will win that match. Their win over City has given them good confidence against Seville.
Personally I will say I have no doubts about Munich winning the match against Galatasaray because Munich is a way better side compared to Galatasaray, the fact the won Manchester united does not mean they could do same with Munich, yeah the goal difference may not vary much but they are definitely not getting a win but a draw could be possible although it's very unlikely.

Munich needs to win as after this game their fate at the group stage will be fully decided so they will definitely not give a chance to it, Galatasaray aswell have a little to loose if they loos they will only become the second in the group but Manchester united is the team that has got a lot of work to do as they are left with no point in that group at the moment. Arsenal is aswell getting a win against Sevilla, my optimism about this is very strong because Sevilla is a struggling team even in their domestic league and Arsenal is in a good form and very much ready to take on any team.

When he was at Ajax and Inter Milan, we all saw the quality of Andre Onana. Yes, he is a good goalkeeper. But somehow when he moved to Man Utd we could see that Onana seemed to have lost his ability as a good goalkeeper. The mentality of a world-class goalkeeper like Onana should be that he can maintain his performance wherever he is.
Onana is a good goalkeeper and I don't deny this fact because I will fail to do this. It's true to say Onana got more attention from big clubs after he had an amazing adventure with Inter Milan in the last season, went to a final match and lost minimally against Manchester City with a striker from Rodri. However, we must consider another fact that one excellent season is not enough to make Onana as a world class goalkeeper. He must prove more and after a transfer to Manchester United and Premier League, we already are able to assess his quality better.
Well maybe you're right. However, Onana has even competed on bigger stages, such as when he defended his national team, namely Cameroon, in the World Cup. But it seems that his experience at big clubs does not show that he is a good world-class goalkeeper. But I'm sure that when Man United's defense is improved and Onana adapts well to Man Utd then maybe he will return to his best performance.

But I read on wikipedia about Onana being sent home from the world cup tournament after playing Serbia. He was sent home because he was considered a disciplinary problem. So I question Onana's own character after seeing this.


Sourch: www.bbc.com / wikipedia
No doubts onana has some good history in his former teams where he has played and that has dragged so much attention to him which earned him the move to Manchester united, he had an excellent season last season as he was able to make it to the UCL finals but then it's important to know that maintaining a status is what makes you really outstanding enough.

If he should be seen as a world class keeper he should be able to defend the status by maintaining good track record consistently regardless of where he finds himself, de gea is a world class keeper and has maintained it everywhere he has been even in his current team his is doing so well maintaining cleans sheets, but onana ever since he left his former team he has found it really difficult adapting even if the defense he is working with is poor he should have some performance enough that we would see clearly that it's solely a defense issues but here we can see how is part of the problem aswell, I think judging him by one excellent season was the worst mistake of Erik ten hag.

But I still don't expect Arsenal to lose the lead to them or any other team at the end of the group stage. I expect them to make up for this loss by staying strong against Sevilla in both matches. Sevilla were nearly defeating PSG with that poor match. But I feel like they can only get one point home from Arsenal and that's all.
Lens is quite superior compared with arsenal at this moment. Sevilla was not as good as what it used to be but sevilla is slowly but surely showing the creativity on its gameplay.
This club deserves a spot in the play off. I would prefer to see sevilla to go to the play off instead of arsenal. Sevilla needs to comeback as soon as possible.

Sevilla is still having a chance to beat arsenal.

I'm not confident about Sevilla to do that honestly. If Sevilla would like to defeat Arsenal they need to play better than that. Maybe they were nearly defeating PSV away with that poor game but this wouldn't work many times. I will be expecting to see a better Arsenal against Sevilla in both matches.

Those matches are critical to make things clearer in the group. I think these matches will decide Sevilla's fate and that might be the Europa League once again. Sevilla might even end at the last position as well because Lens have been doing much better than I predicted.
The idea that lens is superior as compared to arsenal is really not sounding well to me, because how on earth dose such comparison even makes sense I mean a team who just recently struggled out of the relegation zone in the the Ligue 1, a messy league currently, is now ben compared with arsenal that is at the tops of the table in the EPL and also toping it's group in the UCL common it's really not making sense.

Sevilla isn't a very bad team at the moment but they aswell also seem to be struggling with climbing up the table in the Spanish league, I wonder what exactly is the inspiration behind all these comparison because these teams are not really average teams to compare with a top team like arsenal at the moment, if it were to be two seasons ago this comparison could make sense.

If Arsenal dose not get any of it's players on injury before then or get any of it's play become fatigue prone , then Sevilla should definitely wait for another round of defeat because I'm sure arteta will not leave chance's to them to gat a win as his aim for this season is high and he is not giving in to any form of compromise. So thinking Sevilla would win Arsenal could be seen as not possible although I know it's football and anything can happen but ideally it's not feasible

Gambling is based on luck for real but that doesn't mean you should be dividing your attention into poker, soccer, horse racing, or roulette all at once, you need to choose a side and learn everything you can about the game. This is the mistake that many gamblers are making, they believe since it's all about luck they should expand the possibility to get lucky and it always end up badly for them.

It's no doubt that Poker for example is all about been cunning, logical and deception to gain power over your opponent, it's called upper advantage, this is way different from games like Blackjack, roulette or Slots.

So imagine doing all these together, most gambling games needs your understanding of the odds and taking them into account, especially when wagering, so how can a gambler get involved in all games at once just to increase their chances of getting lucky? Stop this as it's not a strategy to win, it's a strategy to lose.
A jack of all trades is a master of none so they say and truly if you master the act in a particular game you gain more experience enough to be able to get yourself to the winning advantage in the game , but spreading your options across every game gives you less opportunity to get a win as you may get confused and mixup things in some cases and this will definitely affect your results.

It's best to master a particular game and be experienced I'm the art of that game, that Way you have created an edge over other contenders which gives you more chances of winning than you would loose but with too many options you don't tend to build that edge around your games enough as the dynamic of each may vary and switching in-between would probably not be good enough to give you the required dedication to achieve desired results.

I could remember a similar tale of someone who won in my locality sometime back, he disappeared after the news of his huge win counting to millions, spread in the neighborhood.
It is just the way it is with money. You get to see the real behavior of someone who just won big or suddenly came into millions.

Am sure if you won, you would disappear for sometime too, but with the closeness of such friends, I think a portion of what I have won should be given them, either as a gift item of choice or a sponsored outing or trip of remarkable adventure and fanfare.

If such friends had done something similar to him during their own win, it should be fair what this guy in the story did.
Disappearing sometimes may be for security reasons, because getting a big win comes with so much that you may not be able to imagine when you are yet to have such amount. Some friends could automatically turn enemies over night just because they heard you have got such huge amount, they could be so jealous such that they will go out of their way to make sure you don't enjoy your wins.

It's very much better after such big wins give the much you dim fit to your friends and disappear for awhile that way you find safety for yourself and enough space to spend your money wisely and in your desired style, aside your friends the news could definitely spread and unknown persons may stand as a threat to you even without your knowledge, but fleeing is a possible measure to keep safe till when the pressure from your news dies down you can come back and live your normal live but I strongly advise you relocate.

I think Manchester United is gonna wake up and ended up going to the next round, they ahve luck on their side because the other two teams of the group asides of Bayern Munich are weak (Copenaghe and Galatasaray) if that were not the case they can be already more out than in.

I'm not sure about the waking up part for Manchester United for now. It was totally normal to see them losing to Bayern Munich first. They even resisted really well by scoring 3 goals as well. However that loss against Galatasaray wasn't as expected as that one. They are literally at the bottom of the group with 0 points now.

Maybe Copenhagen matches would be an opportunity for them to collect some decent amount of points. But for now it is difficult to predict how many points they can collect in those matches. Copenhagen might even steal points from them home. We have seen Copenhagen doing good against Bayern Munich home the last time.

I personally do not think Manchester United is actually going to finish in any kind of respectable position in the Champions League. They will be very lucky to actually finish in any kind of decent position in the English Premier League. Expecting anything from Manchester United in the Champions League is actually a dumb expectation in my opinion.

Yes, they do have a chance against Copenhagen. But the way they have been inconsistent, it is probably not a good idea to expect a win from them to be honest. There is nothing to be surprised if the match ends in a draw. And personally, I will not be surprised if they actually end up losing the match.
It's very true Manchester united have been characterized with so much of inconsistency recently but then the issues leading to this inconstancy is something they can definitely resolve before the season comes to an end and possibly before mid season they should be able to get themselves fixed if Erik ten hag gets to work as quickly as possible.

With Copenhagen they would most definitely utilize that opportunity and probably kick start their new streaks of winning from there if only they change their strategy or tactics and get the players in their right position with perfect combination aswell. The defence system is another aspect of the team Erik ten hag have to work on seriously els he will continue conceding more goals and may hardly secure wins, the defense is so weak they it will cost stronger team less efforts to break in. But with good improvement I'm sure the red devils still have a chance to secure a good position in the UCl as they still gat some good number of game to play.
