the match between arsenal against leicester city will be coming very soon.



Arsenal is most favorite in this match. Leicester city was getting a bad result against MU. I think that was giving impact on the performance of leicester city against arsenal. Arsenal has good odds consider how strong arsenal this time. Another easy money for people who put their bet into the arsenal against leicester city. It needs more than luck to make leicester able to take full points from arsenal. Manchester city fans must hope that if arsenal will get draw against leicester city. It's not impossible to happen but the chance is really small consider how good saka at this moment.
Less than 1 hour we will soon hear the whistle kick off the first round begins. It's no wonder that Arsenal are big favorites in this game even though it is an away game they are having. While they have kept a good record away from home so far, Leicester City will try to beat Arsenal by giving them a draw at the very least. But Arsenal came with a winning mission, they will definitely do everything they can to dismantle the defense that Leicester City will build later. Betting on Arsenal is the best choice.

Arsenal scored with Trossard and they took a 1-0 lead.  Leicester away will be a difficult away game.  This goal is very valuable because it is a big advantage for Arsenal to win 3 points.  I think they will win.  Maybe Leicester will try to draw but it is difficult to predict what will happen.

Edit: I think the goal was canceled
31 minutes of the game have passed without either team being able to score. But Arsenal are attacking brilliantly and manage to create some chances. Hopefully Arsenal will be able to score soon.

According to Messi's brother, he said that Messi would not go to Barcelona anymore, now I have no idea what PSG plans with Messi, in the last match it was Messi who saved PSG in that exciting match with Lillle which in my personal opinion I thought that PSG was going to lose, everything pointed to that.
If you are Messi, would you want and happy to return to Barcelona?

I don't know your answer but if I was Messi, I won't do that. Never after all of bad treatments they did against Messi.

Quote
Personally, I would like Messi to leave PSG, for PSG to stay with Mbappé and for him to build the team, because in a few words that is what he wants and since they have given him so many freedoms and power it is obvious, PSG is the only club that has given a lot of importance to a player and that sometimes I feel that they put him above the club, which seems very bad to me, something that Real Madrid did let them know when Mbappé wanted to go to Madrid once he rejected them.
If Messi win Champions League with PSG in this season, I am so sure that he will have more reasons to leave and possibly he will move to Saudi Arabia to play a few seasons there and earn lot of money before he ends his career. If Ronaldo can move to Saudi Arabia, why Messi can not do this?

They both won so many titles from clubs to their national team and personally titles too. To find reasons to stay in Europe is not easy if they see more attractive financial offers for 2 or 3 last years of their career.

If PSG fails in Champions League this season, Messi possibly will sign another one year contract with them. I guess he still want to win a last Champions League before ending his career. Many seasons since his last cup there with Barcelona and a legendary trio Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
Lionel Messi still has great potential to do good things but he is not getting that opportunity in PSG team in my opinion. In that case, if Lionel Messi joins another club, there will be some good opportunities and I think he will be able to present something great to the audience again.

That was really enjoying the game Liverpool - Real Madrid 2 days ago. Didn't have the opportunity to comment on it earlier. But who would have thought when Liverpool quickly took a 2-0 lead? You have to come from a really high level to score 5 goals in a row at Anfield Road. This Real Madrid is a team that could just win the CL again. They have shown how good they are in important games at crucial moments, often last season with Benzema out of hopeless positions. City was very very disappointing. And no substitutes  Grin
Seriously the match was kind of surprising to me, I don't really know what happened to Liverpool players, Liverpool scored two goals in less than 15 minutes of the match, I don't know why they should allow Real Madrid score 5 goals, I don't really expect something like that to happen to Liverpool, they are not a small club, Real Madrid winning them with 5 goals is really shameful, how will they be so foolish to allow Real Madrid to score 5 goals, immediately Liverpool scored the second goal, most people believed that they will win the match, but Liverpool disappointed most people.

Both Goal keepers had role to play in the game as they caused the team errors
But Real Madrid came with so much agilities as they wanted paying for school feel... Liverpool did not do so well Jurgen Klopp has to improve on the defense
The condition of the Liverpool team is very bad. Once upon a time when Liverpool had Sadio Mane, the team was able to perform incredibly well, but after Sadio Mane left the team, Salah is not able to do great things on his own. Losing by such a big margin to Real Madrid is a real shame.

Juventus has get satisfied result from Nantes yesterday that 3-0 is very good scores for them and Di Maria was performing outstading with his hattrick and actually Nantes in the first half was performing good but Pallois red card greatly affect the performance of Nantes because after that incident Nantes cannot develop their game and during the match Juventus has successfully to pressed them and Nantes cannot able out from Juventus pressure

On the other hand 2-1 is could be decent scores for Manchester United because finally they can ended their poor records from Barcelona and this also special because after this result Barcelona were eliminated and for Barcelona 2 season in a row Barcelona has been failed reach to quarterfinal under Xavi i think he have to evaluated this result

Wondering night for Angel Di Maria scoring goals that way was not what I expected
He stands as one of the oldest players that has scored hat trick during the europa league
They needed that win. Europa League are not Barcelona's kind of competition, they failed last season and also this one
Barcelona are now face with no other option than to focus solely on winning the laliga competition this season as they have been serially swept off from all European competition this season starting from the UCL in the hands of Bayern Munich down to the Europa in Man UTD hands and this is no good for the Spanish.
The Juventus match was really amazing for me. The performance of Angel Di Maria really impressed the entire football world cup. This is Angel Di Maria's first hat-trick for Juventus. Angel Di Maria scored the first goal for Juventus with a long-range shot.

So Barcelona got kicked again from European competitions and this time was by ManU.
Last season by frankfurt and this season by MU. Barcelona's level is not for the europe competition like this. Barcelona got easily kicked from UCL and this time from europa league. Barcelona's level was for the domestic league only. It's not even achieved a level where the club can win a competition below UCL. UCL must become even more difficult for barcelona compared with the match against MU. Glad to see that MU was sending back barcelona again to the domestic level.
Barcelona can only now focusing to get la liga trophy insted of winning europa league. Glad to see ten hag managed to win against barcelona.

MU is in the different level now compared with barcelona.

Yes, Barcelona has not fully reached the real level at the European level. But in terms of game the Blaugrana have achieved quite a rapid increase, it's just that they are out of luck. In European competition this season, Barcelona faced quite a formidable hurdle. In the Champions League, they entered the group of hell, then the results of the draw for the Europa League play-off round were also forced to meet MU.

Even though the start under Ten Hag was not good, MU was then able to get up and raise the level in every competition. The victory over Barcelona proved that United is a team that has good quality in the Europa League and I believe that if Ten Hag is able to maintain the quality and style of play as it is now, then the Red Devils will be able to go further in the second tier competition in Europe.
Barcelona are likely out of the Europa League after losing to Manchester United. Barcelona tried hard to win the match but since the match was played at Manchester United's own home ground, they had several advantages.

Tomorrow Elche vs Real Betis is going to start the match between these two teams in the Spanish League. I don't know which team will win but I will support Real Betis and bet. I have seen that Real Betis played very well in almost every match.  In the last 5 matches, Real Betis lost 2 matches and won the remaining 3 matches. But Elche is still at the bottom of the points table. Among the last 5 matches, Elche won only 1 match. Another match was a draw and lost the remaining matches.  So I think Real Betis have a big chance to win tomorrow's match.
Real Betis will want to win this match. Because most of the previous matches with the opposition team, Real Betis managed to secure victory. From that point of view, I hope to continue the winning streak in this match as well.

It seems like that real madrid against atletico madrid potential draw. The performance from madrid looks very impressive in UCL but not in la liga. Madrid was facing difficulties when it was tried to beat small team in la liga. Madrid has bigger chance to win UCL rather than la liga trophy. Atletico madrid was not an easy opponent and it will be difficult to beat it with huge scores.

Atletico madrid is always become a strong rival for madrid. This match gonna be difficult match to predict even though bookies were favoring madrid in this match. Putting money in madrid looks worthy enough.
The match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will be full of great rivalry. Although Real Madrid is currently performing well, Atletico Madrid still manages to play well against Real Madrid. We hope to enjoy the match very much.

Exactly! In every season, when we get near the end of the season, the race at the top of the table between Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City continues to get more interesting when we are getting close to the end. Despite the fact that Tottenham also follows these teams, based on the matches we have seen from these three teams, it is pretty hard for us to predict which team will finish the season on top.
It's impossible for Tottenham to take first place because the points are quite far from the top of the standings, and while these three big clubs still have the possibility to win first place for each other, Manchester City must get a win this season to make Erling Haaland proud and give good results. good for the hard work done by the players from Manchester City. The order of number one to number three at the top of the standings is currently competing seriously and trying to be the best.
Tottenham and Chelsea match ahead. Chelsea is expected to be more ahead in the match. Chelsea are in great form. However, Tottenham are trying hard to take themselves to the top of the points table.

if only napoli not being as unstoppable as thesedays and as consistent as the current form ...

ac milan the one who will lead the serie a table , too bad napoli played the whole season incredibly perfect with the mad duo osimhen and kvaratskhelia always in form to bring glory in every napoli matches , they are clearly unstoppable at this point .
Napoli became a Serie A club this season that appeared very consistent since Serie A began so that they could already establish themselves as Scudetto winners because the points acquisition was very far with their competitors Inter who are now in second place in the Serie A standings. They only lost 1 time from the total matches that have been played.

AC Milan can actually defend the Scudetto if they are able to fix some of the weaknesses in the team, one of which is the back line. Just look at the number of goals that have been conceded against them in 23 matches. Their front line is also still not convincing in finishing.
The Napoli team is really performing well. I don't see any bad side of the team. In every match the team is performing brilliantly and ensuring victory. Looking at the performance of the team, it is understood that the team will achieve something good.

Real Madrid shortened the gap to Barcelona again, after they beat Osasuna away from home with a score of 0-2. At first I thought this match would be very difficult for Real Madrid, because Osasuna also put up a tough fight. It's not uncommon for Osasuna to launch dangerous attacks on the goal guarded by Thibaut Courtois, but Cortuis' performance was very good in this match. I can't stop thinking Vini Jr. had so many chances, but for some reason he prefers to often try to score goals by dribbling past the opponent's goalkeeper, he never learns from his mistakes.

Fortunately, in the second half, Marco Asensio came on to replace Dani Ceballos, who did not perform well for Real Madrid's creative midfield. Since then Real Madrid's game has changed drastically so that Valverde scored the first goal in the 78th minute and was followed by a goal from Asensio in the final minutes of the match. A pretty good result for Ancelotti's squad, they are ready to face Liverpool in the UCL next week. Smiley
Real Madrid could not be equal to Barcelona yet. Because Barcelona is still leading by 5 points. Real Madrid need to win some more matches and Barcelona need to lose some more matches if they want to go top of the points table.

I think Manchester City are in a good form especially in the premier league, they have been performing good in recent games and are much prepared to face Leipzig in the coming champions league game. I’m not underrating Leipzig, I just think Manchester City have a better chance to win in this game.
City is good but the draw against nottingham forest in EPL was unacceptable as a team who has been beating arsenal 3-1. It's lucky for city to face leipzig. City has more chance but leipzig is also doing so well in bundesliga. Leipzig is now at 5th place. I can hope only that nkuku will be playing against city. Leipzig can't win the match without nkuku. The result against wolfsburg makes me believe that leipzig can be equal to city. Haaland's performance has been declining.

Manchester City's performance against Nottingham Forest was not as expected. Nottingham Forest's goal was a draw. And they managed to do it. Despite not winning this match, Manchester City's performance was not bad. However, City's opponent in the Champions League, Leipzig, is not a weak team. Now the team is in good form. The performance of Leipzig's attacking players is quite good. However, Leipzig will depend on Christopher Nkunku's performance in this match. Christopher Nkunku is quite an experienced player. Christopher Nkunku will definitely need to play well if he wants to do well against a mighty opponent like Manchester City.
Manchester City's performance against Newcastle was very disappointing. Manchester City have done well against Arsenal. But that performance did not match Newcastle's performance.

It was definitely a hard-fought win for Real Madrid despite the final score's being 2-0.
The statistics are also proving this clearly even if you check them only. Osasuna were able to play comfortably against Real Madrid in this game. There wasn't a big gap between the number of passes and total shots as well. Besides ball possession percentages were also very close. Real Madrid's first goal even came while we were about to enter last ten minutes. Benzema was injured again. Maybe they might have broken the deadlock easier in his presence. But the important point is that they didn't make any mistake here.
There is no time left for Real Madrid to commit mistakes. They are already 5 points behind Barcelona which still has a game to play vs Cadiz. The odds are ridiculous for Cadiz to win or even draw while playing an away game.. The gap will most likely return to 8 points again.
For ATM, they can reduce the difference between them and Sociedad to 2 points once they win vs Bilbao

Real Madrid's performance needs further improvement. They won 2-0 against Osasuna. But their performance in the entire match was not good enough. The performance of their attacking players has slowed down a bit. Coach Ancelotti should try to avoid these problems. Otherwise, it will be difficult to perform well against big teams in the future.

Team Barca will play today against Cadiz at Camp Nou. However, Barcelona seems to be stronger in this match. However, Barcelona's results in head-to-head matches against Cadiz are not satisfactory. Barcelona has won just one of their last 5 matches against Cadiz. So in today's match, Barcelona players have to play very carefully and secure 3 points.
Real Madrid managed to secure a nice win. Osasuna's team was not able to make much of an advantage. Although Real Madrid managed to score 2 goals, they missed a few more chances. However, after winning this match, Real Madrid could not go to the top of the La Liga points table.

What I think is that Juve have to show their caste, they can't let them win in that game, it doesn't matter if they had to play in Nantes, they have to win because it's the only way to survive.
Allegri has made some changes in the formation as a preparation against nantes. Nantes can be categorized as a weak team but it seems like that since nantes was not a part of serie a and juventus's coach was confusing to know which strategy that would be best against it. Juventus must try so hard to beat nantes. Allegri has no choice other than going all in against nantes caused by it's the only way for nantes to go to the UCL.
Now with Manchester United and Barcelona, Barcelona was very close to losing at the Camp Nou, however now I see that since they are going to play at the Manchester United stadium things could get more complicated, but they have no other choice If not to win that game, the return games are always the most exciting, both for Barcelona and for Juve they have to play as visitors.
Playing away shall not be the main concern but it must be barcelona must have played without some important players who played in the first leg. Barcelona may have bigger chance to lose against MU

As a result of this Barcelona's away match, the Barcelona team would not have faced too many problems. Because the Manchester United team is not very strong at home. However, several key Barcelona players will not make the squad. Barcelona's main strength this season has been their midfield. Of course, without players like Dembele and Gavi in the squad, Barcelona will face a huge problem. But if Lewandowski performs well, Barcelona's chances of winning are high. We don't see a better performance from Lewandowski in the last match. And in a high-voltage match, the team expects a lot from an experienced player like Lewandowski.
The Barcelona team may face some problems in the next match. This is because Pedri, Dembele are injured. These two players are one of the best players in the team, but if they can play, Barcelona have a great chance of securing victory.

Quote from: EdenHazard
Quote from: zaki12
Quote from: Falconer
I'll look into that possibility later, but I think Manchester United could be the favorites at Old Trafford. About Manchester United, they are much better now and I'm happy with what they had at Camp Nou yesterday.
In how many league matches, if I'm not mistaken, Barcelona only conceded 7 goals. When against MU, only 1 match, Barcelona has conceded 2 goals. From that match, we can see that Barcelona's defense counter is not a 1-2 bait or a true pass. But just dribbling, Barcelona defenders tend to be solitary and compact, but if your opponent is dribbling, it looks like Barcelona's defense can be penetrated. I also believe in MU's second leg there is a greater chance of winning.
You know what? After impressive manchester united first leg to hold barcelona at home and have 2 away goals advantage that make them only need to get another draw of 0-0 or 1-1 while barcelona will try everything to win the game or at least score 2 goals or more.

This makes me even think to go for barcelona to win instead manchester united, they had great history in the past on coming back in the second leg.
Yes, many things has changed positively with Barcelona players that made people to have solid confident in them just because of their performance in this season. I don't think, Barcelona will allow what happened in their last match to happen than to use some tactics they have never use before to play the second leg to drop down Manchester united points.  Barcelona players has more to display in their second leg that will shock many people because what people saw in their first leg that made people to rate their performance excellent will surely happen in their second leg.
The second leg match between Barcelona and Manchester United will take place on February 24. Both teams drew 2-2 in the previous match. The next match will be very competitive as both the teams will want to win. But Manchester United is more likely.

I don't see any information such as Mbappe or some other member of their attacking trio will not play against Lille. They are all expected to play now.

Even if one of those players doesn't play PSG are still very strong against Lille on paper of course. The game is in Parc des Princes which is another advantage for them. After losing an important game in the Champions League they need a win to gather themselves up. This seems like a very nice chance for them to do so. However Galtier's system has big gaps to fill now. This is not only making them have problems in the Champions League but also risk their championship in the Ligue 1 also. I feel like his time here won't be longer than one season.
I am talking about Messi. Messi still has great potential to do even better. But in my opinion Messi needs to leave PSG now. If Messi goes to another team, he will have more opportunities to match himself.

I don't know if PSG will hire Tuchel or not, but I am not entirely sure if it will be an uncomfortable reunion, maybe these players will be very happy to see him? How do we know that everything we read is true and these players don't want him there?
I think they are professionals enough that they will be capable of putting everything aside and seeing how he won the UCL with Chelsea, a team that was much worse than them when they won, still much worse if you ask me, and they could at least see the fact that they will have a bigger chance to win UCL with Tuchel than Galtier. That looks like a possible thing that could make a big difference for sure.
I dont think they will bring him back he didnt win the champions league last time so there is some doubt about him. Too many superstars is the key problem for psg and they need to solve this as fast as possiblr. I think neymar will leave for sure in the next transfer window

PSG's overall condition is not good right now. Even with star players like Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in the squad, their performances have been poor. Mbappe has yet to adapt to Messi. And Mbappe has a rivalry with Neymar. So my guess is that both Neymar and Messi will not want to stay with PSG next season. If these two players leave the team, the PSG team will face more problems. They should definitely have replacements for Neymar and Messi ready.
Indeed, PSG is not in stable condition at the moment. Even though the team has the best stars, I don't see much progress in the team. In fact, the defense of PSG team has great problems.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 18, 2023, 06:13:21 PM
PSG's condition is not good. After losing to Bayern Munich, they have a 3-game losing streak. In addition, Mbaape is also uncomfortable with Neymar. On social media, mbaape quipped that Neymar was playing poker for a fantastic amount. In addition, the target of qualifying for the next phase seems to be heavy. If they fail maybe Galtier should get out. Because their current target is the UCL champion. There is an option to replace the coach with Mourinho, but I'm not sure for the near future. Next they will fight LOSC, if they lose this is dangerous for Galtier.
That shouldn't happen in a club, because after all harmony between players is needed to create chemistry in the game. If problems between players still occur then they will destroy the club from within. It's unfortunate when a club with a luxurious squad still has a high level of selfishness among its players, yes, maybe that happens because their status can be said to be star players in the club. Coaches should see this as a big problem that needs to be solved immediately.
League 1 PSG match is ahead. PSG is expected to secure a big win in that match. Because they have already announced their squad, which includes Messi, Mbappe, Neymar. Actually PSG team is one of the best team in League 1, this team does not see any active role in other leagues.

What an unexpected end to Manchester City first place run in the epl table. Manchester City have surprisingly drew their match against Nottingham forest, the game has ended a 1-1 draw and i guess this result will cause shock wave all over the gambling world. Arsenal did splendid today and are back on top the epl table and hopefully this time around they can hold till the end of the season. Arsenal fought very bravely today against Aston Villa, coming from behind and securing a massive 4-2 Victory no doubt about them starting to play like champions now.

It's weird how Man City weren't able to decide the match early, they had so many chances. I blame Guardiola for not making any substitutions until after Nottingham scored the draw goal. Man City has a lot of quality substitutes who are able to make a change. Unfortunately, Guardiola is making the same mistake again. Now Arsenal has taken the lead again. Although I didn't watch the match, Arsenal looked like they deserved the win as they scored in the added time.
While Manchester City were beating teams like Chelsea 3-1, they drew against such a lesser side in today's match. Actually it is very difficult, in game, a lot of luck is involved. So in today's match I was sure that Manchester City will win, but it didn't happen.

The 1:0 defeat against Chelsea was not an unexpected result to me going by their recent form, Chelsea has been degraded going by their record, this season is regarded as one of the worst season so far for the blues, a team that has not win any match for the past 5 matches, everything seems not to be working for the Chelsea team with all the sophisticated players they have in their team Chelsea has been without good result for some couple of match and I will rate them as a weak side for now with this bad form of the blues if nothing is been done urgently they might go down more in this league table.
Really looking at the state of Chelsea's game, I honestly can't stop laughing now. Because Chelsea are losing after adding one of the best young midfielders to the team which is very sad. But in my opinion, Chelsea could have spent so much money without taking Enzo Fernandez into the team. With this money, two to three other players could have been added.

If anything, I would dare to say that there is a chance that playing at home could impact negatively on the performance of a team, because the expectations placed over them, which could lead to stress and mistakes during the match.

It comes to mind the famous Germany Vs. Brazil during the 2014 world cup.

If I have time, tomorrow I would do some research and see if I can find some statistics about Playing at home.

Playing at home clearly gives you an advantage. Here are the world cup winners at home:

1930, Uruguay
1934, Italy
1966, England
1974, West Germany
1978, Argentina
1998, France

And you can see that the best performance of each team is usually when they hosted the world cup.
Well, for me, I don't think playing at home gives the team any advantage or disadvantage, if you disagree, then maybe you should mention some of the advantages you think football teams have when they play in their home.
A good team with good players is already a good team, and they would play well no matter where they go, team that lacks good players will still fall behind even if the match is brought to them in their home, example is the previous world cup that just ended last year, hosted by Qatar, Qatar as a team where among the first teams to be disqualified from the world cup tournament, why didn't they play for longer since they were the host?.
In football you cannot go with this theory of home ground and home teams has an advantage than outsiders like in cricket . In football you have a ball and whoever plays good and aggressively wins the game .
Last world cup Qatar was I guess the first team to be out of fifa as they have no football history and their team is new as compared to European teams.
Actually playing at home ground does not guarantee victory even if any team plays badly. But it is true that playing at home gives support to the fans and instills confidence in themselves.
