Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.
If you look at the statistics of the game, Napoli were superior because they managed to control the ball well, but unfortunately they still lost even though it was only one goal difference. This shows that Napoli's strength is actually on par with Real Madrid, and it could be said that Napoli is a worthy opponent with Real's strength. Madrid. Hopefully, Napoli will still have the opportunity to meet Real Madrid again so they can avenge the defeat they received in yesterday's match.
Real Madrid has shown some level of superiority with the win over Napoli which have help them get a good start in the group C of the UCL while maintaining their record of staying unbeaten against the Italian Sid, it's a record they have held over the years as the Italian side has on several occasions of their meetings lost to the Spanish side including this match.

Napoli tho had good possession and did made good moves as they played very well, maybe they wanted to put an end to the record of loosing to the Spanish side on several meetings but sadly they couldn't as the Spanish Sid did resisted strongly and mad it a really hard game for them. They were at home which was seen as an advantage for them but sadly they were win in front of their fans.

Hopefully I feel Napoli will do better in their subsequent champions league game as they didn't put up a bad or poor performance in the game against Madrid they only had a bad day which am sure they will most likely make up for with their next UCL games, I hope to see them make it pass the group stage up to the round of sixteen of the UCL as they have what it takes to succeed that well.

Can't just explain what went wrong with Les Parisiens but it seems that the players are not fit or suffering from fatigue. They were relatively outsmarted and bulldozed by the Newcastle player. I know Mbappe can't wait to leave this club because he needs to chase his dreams somewhere else.
PSG is lack of good players, there are still many mediocre players in their club. Take a look with Newcastle where they don't have any super stars, but all their players are in good quality.

I disagree for Mbappe can't wait to leave PSG, if he want to leave PSG, he wouldn't renew his contract until 2026.

PSG will not able to win Champions League as long as they only focus to sign star players.
PSG do not lack good players, rather they most likely lack good tactics enough to have won that game,the problem with PSG is never good players as last summer window they did signed good players and it was more like every of they positions were in check, from the defence up to the forward/attacking line. It's most likely they needed a good tactics that will position the players rightly.

Nevertheless Newcastle isn't a small or weak team either, they have been really good and started the season on a very brilliant not in the EPL so they wouldn't be considered an easy one for PSG, Newcastle aswell had the home advantage over the visiting french side, most English teams except for Manchester united, have been performing really well in the UCL this week.

Definitely mbappe is not staying in PSG any season longer as they are no longer fit for his career, I think PSG is gradually becoming a mediocre team and it's no longer healthy for his talent, most likely by the end of this season he should be leaving although there are speculations his contract is till 2025 but I doubt how authentic that information is because there is yet an official Statement to confirm it.

Later today, AEK Athens will be playing in the conference league for the first time after three seasons of been absent in the league, they have made a brilliant statement with their comeback on Brighton where they got a 3-2 victory in the favour of Athens. This happens to be one of the greatest victory ever recorded by the Greek team against an English team as they were two goals down but they came back and won the game 3-2.

AEK Athens is a Greek team who plays in the Greece local league but they happen to be one of the best in their league, they are the only team in group B who has a complete three point while ajax has just one point, they have both played only on conference league games, while ajax drew Athens won and are now at the top in group B, they are definitely a formidable team.

In their last four H2H meetings ajax has always won and Athens has scored only once against Ajax in their last four meetings, Athens seem to have always find it difficult to win Ajax in most of their meeting which is an indication that they are definitely not going to find it easy playing this game as they may likely get a draw or allow history repeat it self again.

My favorite for the conference league is lille, they are currently top in their group with three points as they won their first game against O. Ljubljana.They won 2-0, even in the french league lille had not been the best but the are not the worse either, they are at the seventh position with eleven points after Playing seven gamesin their local french league.

O. Ljubljana is a Slovenian team who plays for the Slovenian league, the are at the second position in their local league with 19 points after playing 10 matches so far they happen to be one of the best in their league as they have maintained a good record in their league but sadly their league isn't popular enough as they don't have international stars in their league.

The both teams seem.to be doing well in their both local leagues although O. Ljubljana have a better local league record than Lille but Lille is in a more recognized league than O. Ljubljana and that I think has a great influence on their style of play, I'm hoping to see lille make it through the group stage in the conference league as they happen to be my favorite as stated earlier.

Newcastle surprised me today as I least expected such from them, they weren't my favourite although they were the host, I feared they would perform poorly against PSG considering that PSG had a good performance in their first UCL game so definitely they were going to do better but sadly I was disappointed as they were no were close to my expectations today.

PSG dominated the game today, they were good with their attack and their midfield, Newcastle did more of a defensive game but did utilized every opportunity that avails itself to them and the started leading from the first half of the game and continued into the second half, they finally secured the three points and I will say they made good use of their advantage as the host team.

I hope PSG learns from this game and improves in their subsequent UCL games, most likely I feel this loss may affect their morale in their local league aswell, I hope their coach gets a better tactics to overcome and manage this loss. Like I did said earlier PSG have a better chance at their local league than in the UCL so if they could chanel their energy more towards that they may most likely have something to fall back at by the end of the season.

Leipzig finally got an equalizer and that has awakened their confidence and it can be seen that they now come out to attack and finding possible chances to get a second goal if possible but then man city is not giving them that space enough, man city is still maintaining their dominance in the game with a firm attacking force but then Leipzig seem to have some good Walls around their defense as they want to protect their only goal at all cost to at least secure one point by the end of the game.

Halland has not really been at his best today, I carefully observed something about him today, previously I used to see him as a very fantastic and brilliant player but then it's gradually becoming clear to me that he is just a goal scorer and nothing more, he is not really good at making the Chance or giving good assist but then when given assist he knows how well to get a goal from it.

Man City just added a goal to their goal, I think this has seal their fate for today, they will successfully secure the three points with this goal as they will not allow Leipzig get an equalizer, city has really put up a brilliant performance today tho not with too many goals jus as I expected but then what's most important is securing the three points which they may most likely do tonight.
3167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 04, 2023, 08:01:49 PM
Manchester city bis really doing well as the first half just end with Manchester city wining by a goa, their attack defense and midfield is in really in a very good shape, they have full possession of the ball they are even playing as if they are at home, Leipzig is playing with so much fear. The ball is more concentrated in their side of the pitch and around their yard box.

Man City is obviously very prepared for this game but with what they have played so far I expected more goals by now, they should be leading by two goals by now, Leipzig is more of defensive side in this game and looking for an opportunity to get a counter attack so they could secure a goal, I never expected it will be this hard for Leipzig even in their home, I hope they do better by the second half.

PSG is really finding it very difficult with Newcastle as they are down by two goals already and the first half of the game just ended, Newcastle is really playing with so much confidence which I think is influenced by the fact that they are at home and they are using the advantage to their favor, it's most likely they will go home with three points tonight except PSG puts up a come back by the second half of which I'm not seeing them been capable of such.

I agree it's very important to.pass KYC before even trying to make a deposit on any gambling sites or casino, if it's required, don't wait until you have won a good amount before you do your KYC as there are many negative effects regarding this one of which could be not been able to make withdrawal, especially for small sites who could be considered dubious in some cases.

Some persons wait until they have made a deposit which for dubious sites you may never pass KYC once you deposit before you try to do your KYC hence it's adviced that you make sure to follow due procedures, pass KYC before using the platform fully for gambling and other transactions. Most times our negligence to these things cause us a lot before we could know it.

Using new and small sites probably because of their bonus is very risky and Is not adviced, but what is most appropriate is using reputable sites and casino so you can be sure to be safe and be protected from scam. It's safer gambling with the known and reputable sites. They will make sure you are safe so as to protect their reputation too.

PSG vs Newcastle is really going to be a tough one as both teams are in their good form, the french side is so determined to getting a win from tonight game as they happen to be lie the hope of the french in the UCL, they are the only french representative with possible chances of going really far in the UCL, Newcastle is also very prepared as they have the home advantage. I'm expecting more goals from this game.

Manchester city vs Leipzig is another very interesting game I'm keeping in anticipation as the German side will be hosting the English team for todays match, Leipzig is usually good at home and I hope they will use it to their advantage to possibly get a win even if it's with a goal difference but what is important is securing the three points at the end of the game.

Most champions league game today may be characterized with goals just like yesterday games but what I'm not certain about at the moment is how many goals we should be expecting from most of these teams, it's possible there could be surprises as well just like yesterday, most big teams yesterday did played their best but sadly didn't get to win the game.

Bayern Munich surprised me in the Copenhagen game a lot. I was expecting a comfortable game for them honestly. But after seeing Copenhagen scoring first I really doubted Bayern Munich about the win. They finally scored the winning goal in the last ten minutes of the game but they must also be not satisfied with their performance.

I assume they didn't prepare well for this game. Maybe they underestimated their opponent I don't know. Because they didn't play like this against Manchester United in Allianz Arena. I'm confident about one thing that they will get more prepared for their next Champions League game.
 
I don't think bayern munich underestimated Copenhagen, but true is that, that is how games do look sometimes. It is not possible that team performances will be at the same level all the time, they will perform sometimes weakly and sometimes very strongly, so I don't think strong teams will be beating all other teams by many goals all the time

Actually, Bayern München did not give 100% to face Copenhagen because the difference in quality of play and experience was an obstacle for Copenhagen to match Bayern München's resistance. If Bayern München wanted, it is possible that they would do what Bayern München did when they met Barcelona who were silenced by a score of 8 -2 last year, so we can see that Bayern München didn't really want to play in that match because they were already certain that they would qualify for the last 16.
It maybe very true that Bayern Munich understood that Copenhagen wasn't a team they should use too much of their efforts on as they knew they could win them at ease and so they only played with them as if it were to be a friendly game, Copenhagen is no way a match for Bayern Munich by all standards so I think it was intentional Bayern performed the way they did.

In as much as we all know that Copenhagen wasn't good enough to get a win over Bayern, but allowing them to score first was a mistake Bayern did even if they later made up for it and got a win over them by the end of the game, I still feel Bayern was probably playing with caution as to save energy for champions league so then, they will be able to perform optimally as that is more important than the game against Copenhagen in the bundesliga.

But then it's a lesson to Bayern and others that regardless of the team you gave putting your best is important as taking them for granted could cost you a lot by the end of the day, so every team should be taken seriously so as to not loose points and drop down the standings unnecessarily. I hope Bayern puts up a better performance at the the champions league game later today.

Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.
Both of Arsenal and Manchester City are in bad condition, Arsenal will play without Martinelli and Saka while Manchester City will play without Rodri, De Bruyne, Stones and Silva. It's 50:50, so I'm not really convinced if this match is a sure win for Manchester City.

Maybe the result will be draw? Cheesy
I'm most sure it's going to be a win for Manchester city as they have all the advantage to their self, and Manchester city is not known for taking chances at opportunities as this, they will definitely use it to it's maximum, erling haland will be playing so there is very strong hope they would win, the worse that could happen will be a draw which I'm not sure will happen.

Manchester city takes their UCL games too serious to let this game end in a draw or loss, and they aswell need the points to go steps further in the group and make sure to secure a spot at the round of sixteen. Arsenal is aswell in their best of form but they they will not be playing with their full squad so they are definitely going to be affected really badly I hope the have a way to cover up for it

It's really going to be a tough match but then both teams will definitely get a goal as they are both goal oriented and they have got the strikers who will definitely deliver them with goals just that the goals may not come in in it's numbers but they I feel a minimum of three goals should be expected in that match, Arsenal will be playing from home so that could be an advantage for them although man city is good with away game aswell.

I think we could see some surprise results in most of the matches today, I expect goals in most of the matches and it's also possible that some of the matches will end in a goalless draw.
Like everyone else, I normally think we will see a lot of goals in the Leipzig-City match, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a goalless draw. In most games I expect the favorites not to lose, yesterday already a lot of favorites lost.
Just like yesterday the was filled with so much surprises and shock as big teams were loosing while the weaker team were winning, although it's an established fact that the champions league is a very competitive one and so every team would want to do there best altho I wouldn't want to see any team as small because for them to be at the UCL they have to first be champions in their local leagues.

Most game today will have goals contrary to your taughts because in champions league goals counts so they would most likely want to secure a goal at least, these goals could be useful in the nearest future for them so they have to make sure to get even if it's a goal especially for teams who will be playing from home, as every goal gotten by the visiting team counts a lot.

Leipzig vs man city is definitely going to produce a minimum of three goals and both teams are definitely going to get a goal, I'm very optimistic about both teams getting a goal as Leipzig wouldn't want to loose goalless at home, that's if they happen to loose and city will aswell want to make sure to get a goal or more so they will be at advantage when they will be visited by Leipzig.
3173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: October 04, 2023, 04:05:29 PM
Gamblers need to accept the reality, gambling is supposed to be a hobby and not our main occupation, while the idea of earning a lot of money and also have fun in the process is a very attractive proposition, we also need to consider how likely is it for us to obtain those results? And it should be obvious this is not very likely, as the games offered by the casinos are naturally disadvantageous to us, and while on the short term we could earn some money, when it comes to the long term we will lose it.
Definitely making gambling a main occupation is putting yourself at a disadvantage already as you will not have the fun that comes with it which makes you more prone to reckless gambling. But making a means of catching fun, maybe not necessarily a hobby, will make you invest less emotions and make you have a healthy gambling habit.

I always talk about emotions when ever am talking about gambling because if you can keep your emotions in check while gambling then you may likely be a better and healthy gambler, because you will most likely not pursue your losses as the outcome of the game is something you have programmed your mind to accept whatever outcome, but with too much emotions attached to will most likely chase losses and gamble unhealthy.

Usually the Casino needs to make profit and so they make profits when we loose to them so they would naturally tilt the games in your disadvantage but it's left with you to literally not allow yourself get caught up so much with this disadvantage by setting your mind to accept possible outcomes and know when not to continue again, little winnings should get you too excited and losses aswell shouldn't get you too emotional.

Why do we assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid? Despite his desire to play there, would La Liga be as exciting without Messi and Ronaldo every week? He has proved that he is determined to win the Champions League, which PSG, even with Neymar, Messi, and himself, couldnt achieve. Still, thinking about him playing in the EPL, where the competition is stiff and the weather is so different from Parisian nights, makes me laugh.
Regardless of anyone's assumptions about this, if Mbappe wants to win titles in the domestic league and Champions League next season. So Real Madrid is the more appropriate team for him in that regard, even though other teams are also more appropriate, such as several teams in the EPL. However, considering the competition and the very different weather as you said, the consideration might be quite correct if Mbappe wants to choose Real Madrid as the team that will make his career even more brilliant than it is now.
Real Madrid still remains the best choice place for him to go because there, there's a position which he can fill already and that will help him shine better and that has been where he most likely choose over others, going to English team will not avail him all the opportunity to really utilize his potential to the fullest as there will be too competitive and their style of play differs so much which take him so much time to adapt.

He will be better of in la Liga especially in Madrid where he will have less of troubles to deal with ranging from the coach to the management of the team and the atmosphere as a whole, moreover the competition in la Liga is fair enough for him to get familiar with quickly than he would have done with English teams, and he may most likely get a higher offer from Madrid than other English teams.

Real Madrid is a better place for him to explore and achieve his dream of winning a local league and the champion's league, Madrid has that potential much more, so Madrid remains the best option and I think he will most likely choose Madrid over other teams as I still think Madrid has the potential to gat him to the peak of his career quickly than others would have.

Week 8 will bring together Cagliari and AS Roma. Cagliari is a team that is at the bottom of the standings without a win, while AS Roma although they are not in a really good condition and also consistent, in some matches they show something good. So do not be surprised when AS Roma becomes a team that has a great chance of winning this match. On the other hand they also really need a win, they are thrown and are now ranked 13th in the standings. Jose Mourinho will definitely not want to lose a great opportunity to win in this match. I think they will be able to win even with a thin score.
Of course Roma needs to win this match to be able to get full points to continue to catch up in this league.
looking at the head to head record, Roma has a greater chance of winning than Cagliari and it is possible that Roma can win the match.
But unfortunately this match will take place at Cagliari's headquarters and it will be an away match for Roma. I'm worried that Roma will lose confidence like when in away matches Roma always experience difficulties so they can't appear impressive.
Jose Mourinho must make his men appear optimal and confident in this away match in order to get full points because Cagliari is not in good form so that Roma don't let  waste the opportunity to get these points.
Roma needs a win and nothing less as they are down on the standings, this win will help them go up a bit further on the standings and keep them in what I call a safer zone, so Mourinho needs to change his strategy and get a winning strategy for this game most likely lukaku if positioned rightly could possibly help him achieve a lot from this game as the results is crucial.

Roma will be playing in Cagliaris home so this calls for some moral boost for optimal confidence so they can perform brilliantly els they would definitely find it difficult to get a win. The home team will definitely resist every effort fro. The away team to get a win but then if the away team has a better attacking and striking force as against the home defense then they could have a lucky day.

Cagliari isn't a very weak team so Roma will need some more effort to secure a win , Roma isn't really good with away games but they know how crucial this game is to them and the head coach Jose Mourinho is a very determined person so I hope he puts in his all to secure this Three points maybe he could gradually build from this win to get other wins, but then I am very optimistic he will definitely win this game.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will continue to compete until the end of the season and in the transfer season there will also be many changes for one of the top teams. If Real Madrid can bring in Mbappe, I am pretty sure Madrid will firmly dominate La Liga.

There was a time when Real Madrid had C. Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria, Ramos, Pepe, Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Casillas, and Marcelo were all at their peak and they did not dominate La Liga but somehow you believe with Mbappe they would dominate La Liga?
Mbappe is a great player. Some might argue he's the best winger in Europe right now and I might agree but saying Madrid would dominate La Liga just because of Mbappe is a different thing.
PSG have not convincingly dominated Ligue I with Mbappe, talk more of dominating La Liga with Madrid when Barcelona isn't sleeping.
I would love to see Mbappe in the La Liga though because it's obvious his career is not heading anywhere in the French league.
At that same time Barcelona had only Messi as the game changer and move maker for them and with him alone the dominated the la Liga so don't doubt it's very possible that if Madrid get mbappe added to their squad their dominance in the la Liga will be sure, if you take a good look at the Madrid front line the have issues with getting a good striker and this is a position mbappe can comfortably fill and perform optimally giving good results.

PSG has not dominated the french league this season but you can attest to the fact that the had a fantastic season last season of which mbappe was a key player then, currently you can undermine the strength of PSG in the french league as they are still standing tall regardless nof the recent issues that have been going on in the team but them mbappe still be doing his best.

I would even love to see mbappe in the la Liga as I feel he will explore his talent better in la Liga, because the french league is almost reducing his value as that league is gradually turning into a league with so much mediocrity if he leaves I think it will be even better for him as he has stayed there for just too long, I remembered there was a time when Messi had to leave Barcelona there were speculations he wouldn't do well outside Barcelona but am sure today they could see for themselves how well he is doing.

Even De Gea definitely continues to get entertainment when watching his former team compete because they have always had bad results so far. That is real karma for Manchester United because they have thrown away an experienced goalkeeper like De Gea and preferred a goalkeeper who was only good for one season.
Indeed De Gea was one of the best goalkeeper Manchester United has ever had but I wouldn't blame the club for going for Onana because Onana is actually a nice goalkeeper and has been doing really well since from when he was keeping for AC Milan, I think from his past records, he has more good quality performance than De Gea, but however every good performance of a goalkeeper always depends on the good performance of the defenders because even with the highest goalkeeper in the world could perform very low if the defenders fails to do there work very well so in Manchester United that's what they are facing, how would they expect Onana to perform well as goalkeeper when the defenders are not helping.
Firstly I would want us not to dwell so much on the past as it's not helping the present, Onana has a record which has been fantastic but that's in the past and we can't continue to glorify the past and make it a good reason to excuse the present failure, success is more appreciated when it's been sustained and repeated over again regardless of the circumstances attached to the success.

Going by what you are saying it means Onanas success was greatly dependent on the defenders and now that those defenders are no more his blunders are been exposed of which it shouldn't be so, no doubt the presence of good defenders aids the excellent performance of a keeper but then the keeper himself must have some level of accuracy that will be complimented by the defensive efforts, so we can't blame it so much on the defenders.

De gea was in Manchester united with these same defenders although only but a few has changed but de gea did well with these same defenders onana is having a hard time with so I think it's time we stop excusing him and bring it to him that he is been failing the club and should improve, he doesn't need the whole season to prove how good he can be. De gea is also doing well where he is now with new set of defenders so I wouldn't want to start comparison now as there will be More than enough to talk about as it concerns these two keepers.

At old age yo have the liberty to so much, such as more free time and sometimes more residual income as your expenses may have reduced due to the fact that your bills may be shoulder by your kids, this is for those who has gat grown up kids who are now financially independent and capable enough to take care of themselves and their parents aswell.

You will have enough time to watch games and aswell analyse them because most probably you you have more free time especially if you have actually retired from work, but the fear will be if your interest for all these will still be there as so much would have changed by then, this may include the players you know most of them may have retired and you will see mostly new generation players which may not really catch your interest so you may not really have the fun on these things again.

For those who are businesses owners, CEO'S they may not really have that liberty of time even at old age except they will decide to retire and hand over their business to some one they have appointed or maybe their children then they can have all the time and freedom to possibly watch games and gamble but personally I don't think I will still be interested in gambling as my fun taste would have changed by then and I will find fun in doing some other things.

If until the 2026 World Cup, Argentina is still coached by Lionel Scaloni, of course he will understand better whether Lionel Messi as a core player can bring good things to the Argentine national team or not, but seeing how Argentinian players really respect Messi, it is very possible that he will still be there in the Argentina squad but not as a main player but will play when the coach feels it is necessary to use him to play because even though his physical condition has declined, his experience is very valuable for the Argentina squad.
However, it is also very important for young players to get a lot of playing time because regeneration is very necessary.

2026 is still three years away. Do you believe that Messi would still be motivated to take part in the next world cup? He has achieved whatever he wanted to achieve in football. So why should he carry on playing anymore? Lionel Scaloni may want him in the squad, but even if he includes him a lot of questions will be asked. Another factor that may impact his participation is the fact that Messi no longer plays in one of the stronger leagues. At this point he represents Inter Miami, in Major League Soccer (MLS).
By 2026 I doubt if Messi would participate in the world cup but then if turns out that they want him to I think nit will be basically for the purpose of business by this I mean more tickets would be sold and it will definitely attract tons of fans to that stadium to watch him play the last world cup appearance before he retires and it will automatically give the Argentine side more fans on days where the teams of those fans are not playing.

Secondly his presence in the team will serve as a motivating factor to new starts who will be playing along side Soni don't see his presence there as in anyway stopping others from coming to Play or getting an opportunity to rather it will be basically a moral boost to play with such a national hero just before he retires from national foot ball and just like last world cup, he will most likely be their captain.

But then age might not be on his side to play but then I feel he could be given some preference that's if the coach wants him and he accepts to play aswell. I don't think him playing in the MLS is not a factor that will cause him not to be selected as he is performing very well in the MLS as his influence on the league is obviously, ever since his arrival the MLS gained more attention that it has ever gotten so it's definitely not going to be a reason he will not be considered.

Sassuolo are already one of the strange teams of this year in my eyes. Having managed to beat Juventus and Inter, Sassuolo lost to Monza yesterday. Sassuolo had no problem beating strong opponents, but they struggled to win against weaker opponents. We can say that the game was evenly played but Sassuolo couldn't capitalize on the positions. Sassuolo lost 1-0 to Monza in their own ground and suffered their 4th defeat in the league.
With these moves from sassuolo I think the serie A is becoming more interesting to watch and observe because when weak teams begin to win strong teams it brings home the fun and brings about the competition we have looked forward to except that it make placing a bet on any team to become difficult as they will now look almost unpredictable due to the dynamics.

How they managed to secure a win over Juventus is really surprising as one will never expect that a team as Juventus will loose to a weak team as sassuolo at this time in the league, so far sassuolo has played seven games and lost four won three, their biggest wins are again inter Milan and Juventus, one was at home and the other away keeping them at the eleventh position with just nine points on the standings.

They have eleven goals so far from six games, which is quite impressive although not so good enough but for a team like them it could be considered impressive. I think with this two recent wins against bigger teàms in the league, their moral will have a great boost and this could be their genesis of winning streaks, they have hopes of finishing well if they can start getting some more wins.
