If there is one thing I can say Girona is good at is giving other teams a hard time to win even if they are definitely not going to win they will always try to put up a strong resistance against their opponent so as to probably reduce how much goal the concede or better still try to get a draw by the end of the game.  But then so far they have been at their best in the past five games as they won all five.

They have managed to stay unbeaten since this season especially with there home games as they have not lost any game at home although yesterday game they were away and they still won, they may not have the potential to win the League Title but it's very possible they could finish amongst the top team this season if the continue with such brilliant results.

Villareal as the home team was the favorite to many including the bookies but then they were unable to deliver as the favorite. They were give the smaller odds at the bookies yesterday little did we know Girona would do  better, so far Villarreal has suffered three losses and had just one win and a draw they don't seem to be really doing well this season so the reason they lost could not be far fetched

When it comes to carabao cup Manchester united has a history of consistently with it as they often win their carabao game more often than they win other league games, they have aswell been champions of the carabao cup severally of which is possible they could win it again this season as they are yet to lose a carabao game although the carabao game just started.

Manchester united aswell didn't use their full squad to Play the carabao game aswell, the likes of rashford was not there on the pitch so it's most likely to say it's almost same as crystal palace if they aswell didn't use their full squads because they are not wanting to put too much effort in the carabao cup, but then if anyone should fight for the carabao between the two teams it should be palace.

Manchester united will definitely pick up courage from this win as it will serve as a boost to their morals and there are hopes they are definitely going to perform better in the premier league games as compared to their subsequent games, although we can not say they are fully back at the moment but we can say they are gradually coming back and it's very possible they will beat palace again on their next meeting in the premier league games.

I knew udinese had no place in this game, the were at disadvantage on every side and could in no way have taught of getting a win over Napoli especially with the fact they have just suffered a draw in their last game and they were definitely going to make up for it although they have a little rift at the moment amongst player in the club, one will think it should affect the results they will be getting today but then it really didn't.

Udinese was brought to the understanding that they were playing with the big boys and could have nothing to do but try to reduce the number of goal they will be conceding but they they were unable to keep that in check. They managed to get a goal and I will give them kudos for that a do expected they wouldn't have seen a goal in the game as Napoli was not willing to give them a chance.

Home advantage was another factor to consider that it's enough to say Napoli wouldn't give a chance especially at their home, I was glad to see that regardless of the current rift in Napoli, although about to be resolved, victor oshime still had a goal in the game which contributed well to the success of the team, seems like he dropped his sentiments while on the pitch of play.

It's very correct no body likes an addict as they are most likely to engage in practices that are on healthy and detrimental to their health or person as a whole and sometimes extends to people who happens to be around them resulting from their behavior or attitude towards things as some of them becomes more aggressive and sometimes violent.

If emotions are taken away and gambling done basically for the fun of its most likely addiction may never set in and the gambler remains good and remains in check as he may not have to behave in ways that are unhealthy resulting from looses he /she has gotten from gambling, I'm some cases the gambler can be seen not affected even after a loss because he risked what he can afford to loose.

If people understand their ability to control things and probably know how to maintain the limits when required it will help the a lot and for those who has little to no control is most advisable they totally avoid it as they may NY e able to stop whenever they are tending towards addiction. I think this is on important factor almost everyone should put to consideration before considering to gamble

I felt almost same way like you as I was surprised as to how Chelsea won Brighton I'm today's game or maybe it's because it's not premier league where Brighton would maybe want to contend harder than usual so as to get points to go up the table, but then to our surprise Chelsea won without conceding a goal I that is also Worthy of acknowledgement.

I expected Brighton to win this game or in a worse case get a draw but then Chelsea proved me wrong that they could do better,. although it was such that I would call a narrow escape because any further move by Brighton would have denied Chelsea of a win and probably given Brighton a draw, it was a fair game as both sides did their best but the better side won

I'm optimistic this may in a way help Chelsea restore hope that they could still get a win in the premier league and still make it to top five at least but they can be sure not to win the league title this season as their performance is not suiting enough to give them such championship,. maybe next season of they improve and play better they could go close to been the champions.

It's true that Real Madrid dose not have a good strike force but then Napoli is having some issues with their top striker aswell which could be a handicap on their side if not fixed before that match. Real Madrid could capitalise on it as a weakness enough to use and get a win over Napoli. So at the moment both teams seam to have the same issues although one stands a better chance.

The atmosphere amongst the players at Napoli is currently not healthy for optimum performance by the players, I think the management should look into tendering the needed apologies and create the needed atmosphere for these player to be able to play and produce results especially in this champions league that is highly competitive, they cant afford to risk it.

If the current rift at Napoli continues, they may stand a chance of loosing their top striker by the next summer window which may cause them to witness a gradual fall down the hill as not only the striker leaving but other players who worked with him  will find it difficult for a while to adapt to the new replacement they will be getting for their colleague.

Your idea is really a brilliant one but then it is worth of note that gambling is usually stereotyped by many people due to the menace some persons has caused the society resulting from their un healthy gambling habits, all this stereotyping would make it almost not acceptable enough to be educated about because majority will vote against it thinking it would rather promote it.

But then civil society organizations can come in in situations as this they stand the better grounds to bring it to the society without been judged as they are know for education and being activists for the voiceless in the society. So if they bring it to the society so as to educate the society they will get the needed attention and some gambling sites can aswell join hands in sponsorship, that way people can see the fair side of gambling.

This education will make people understand gambling should be mostly for fun attaching less emotions and not using it as a job opportunity, it can Also be regulated and one can healthily gamble without getting to the point of addiction, I think of gambling sites come out with such campaign and sponsor the campaign they may win the heart of more gamblers over, they could introduce scheme that helps gamblers not get to the point of addiction these and many other innovative ways could be used for education.

The game between Valencia and real socidad has been characterized with too many yellow cards one will think they are playing rugby because why would they be roughing so much but then amidst it all Real socidad is lead by a goal as they are already in their 60th minute of the game. I'm most positive they may likely win the game as they are trying so much to defend their goal.

 Both teams in their last five game have had only two wins and who so ever wins this gets to add to their wining record. Valencia is 8rh on the table as Real socidad stand on the fifth position on the table with this win the stand to solidify their fifth position on the table and if they win their next game may climb up to the 4th position on the league table.

Real socidad is just two points ahead of Valencia on the table as they have 12 points and Valencia have 10 point, I can see why this match has not been a really easy one with real socidad because if Valencia happens to win they will be a point about real socidad so they are fighting really hard to get a win or probably a draw so they can still maintain the little difference and hope to cover up by next game.

Ac Milan did perform brilliantly in their today's game as they were dominating all through the games from the first half unto the second they were seen possessing and taking the lead which later earned them a win, they were deserving of the win, they lead in the statistics as they had higher shots and even higher ball possession both in the first and second half of the game.

They had their first two goals in the first half of the game and the last in the second half of the game Cagliari showed they were in no way a match Enough for AC Milan as they had little possession and we're struggling although they managed to get a goal in the second half of the game but AC Milan still got a victory over them at the end of the game .

AC Milan is now 3 points higher on the table and Cagliari 3 point lower they may be likely heading for relegation this season as they are far below with poor performance aswell, I wouldn't want to blame the players or coach either as the team they contended with today is way above them in strength capacity and in tactics.

Responsible gambling been your sure bet sums it all as that's the only way to get hold of your self and still keep everything in check while gambling. It's very true it's not ment for everyone as not everyone can get control of their habits all the time just before it turns into an addiction. Whenever you find yourself doing crazy things for gambling such as selling off things just to gamble then you should take a break.

It is a dangerous end that one should not allow themselves get to as it could have so many bad effect as stated by the OP. Especially for newbie gamblers who would want to allow the adrenaline rush gotten from winning to be satisfied over and over again, this may lead to one trying to chase their losses because they believe they could win again and end up in more losses.

Whenever you get a win consistently it makes you feel like you own the game and know your way around it best and may want to further invest in gambling probably with bigger amount. One should understand that you can never Gain mastery at gambling you only get favoured by the house on a good day and the rest is history, so gamble for fun, use smaller amount such that if lost you don't get crazy, don't borrow to gamble and don't chase losses. This way you can enjoy gambling along side the fun that comes with it especially when you gamble with smaller amount you add less emotions to it and stay happy when you win and learn lesson when you lose.

I agree with yo,u AC Milan is my pick for this game, although they are away but they are a better team and I think can perform better and possibly win this match as this match is really important for them like you rightly stated . AC Milan's coach's job is on the line and this match may stand as a determinant for a consideration so he will stop at Notting to make sure he win so he can at least keep his job if not for anything.

Cagliari is not good with scoring goals els we could say they may use their home to their advantage but they lack good strikers who will possibly do the magic for them to be able to win AC Milan. Cagliari has lost three matches and drew two failing to win any game in their last five games. on the other hand AC Milan has lost only one game won three and drew one, and they will not be willing to add to their loss.

I just hope it's going to be an easy game for AC Milan regardless of the home advantage Cagliari may seem to have over AC Milan, I'm predicting Cagliari to win but not with much goal difference at most 2 goals in the game, Cagliari may be lucky to get a goal but I'm not sure they will get more than a goal except otherwise, probably if AC Milan fails to play well enough.

Lille was actually my favorite and same for Many others for the game and I must say I felt disappointed by the end of the first half as lille failed to get a goal although they showed good resistance against Reims, the had the possession, the most shots on target and other statistics they took the lead but had serious issues scoring a goal in the first half of the game.

Reims I must say took me by surprise as they were visiting and still went home with a victory over their host, initial before the game began I was of the taught that remis doesn't stand a match for Lille as their records had big variations but then foot ball happened and remis gota win from the first half and we're able to maintain it throughout the match to eventually become the winners for the day

I was expecting a come back from Lille after the first half of the game because I feel they will make good use of the fact that they are at their home and wouldn't want to entertain a defeat at home, although the managed to get a goal but it wasn't good enough as almost everyone expected a win from them or at worse a draw so they could secure a point but they sadly lost all the point to remis.

It's very true that if one should take statistics of the total amount spent on gambling monthly or annually, sometimes could amount to a fortune especially with those who are high stakers. It's expedient that one keeps record of how much is spent on gambling monthly or weekly or per anum as this will help keep you in check or help you control your gambling habit especially when you are suffering losses.

If from the beginning of the month you draw a schedule stating how much you are willing to risk on gambling daily, weekly and totally the month as a whole and this can further accumulate in to a record of what will be spent per annum, if it's proportional to your winnings or not, they it will facilitate your decisions on how to gamble so as not to spend a fortune on gambling without getting enough from it.

In a situation where's there is no conscious recording of how much one intends to spend daily or monthly as the case may be you may end up spending a fortune on gambling yet you think it's still very small enough to not put to much consideration and you tend to gamble even loosely as you can't asertain how much have been spent already, record keeping helps you gamble better.

Barcelona was my favorite for that match and I felt that by all indications Barcelona will win that game seamlessly as they have done previously with other team. Mallorca didn't have the ability enough that would make one believe they could drag Barcelona to a defeat in the first half and eventually a draw by the end of the game but sadly it's football and the impossible happens at times.

The midfield was not strong enough as Mallorca could be seen wining the ball most times from the midfield especially in the first half , most of the times they had greater control of the midfield in the first half of the game while Barcelona was obviously weak but later tried to make up for it in the second half, although it was a struggle for Barcelona as they found it difficult scoring goals.


And the red card also affected Mallorca so well they couldn't score any further but managed to defend their goals to a draw, it was very possible Mallorca would have won that game if they didn't have a red card as they played very well until the red card, then Barcelona had a chance to make up for the loss that was about befalling them bay equalizing in the second half.

It's really funny how people would want to believe that such thing as bad luck resulting from some other person staking on your prediction will cause you to loose your predictions. I see it as great superstition rather it's even a person with a bad luck that ends up benefiting from your lucky picks. The game picks are usually made with the bookies so I don't see how some other person's bad luck can change that.

It's better to state clearly that you are not cool with sharing your predictions than excusing yourself with the fact that the person's ill luck may cause your prediction to be a looser, how about punters on X (formerly Twitter) who share their games every now and they and still they win and their followers aswell also win and everybody is cool without been affected by the luck superstition.

Personally I don't share all of my predictions, there are those which I feel very comfortable sharing and there are those I don't, and for that which I don't it's not because I feel anyone's bad luck will affect my prediction but just for personal reasons as they may be high risk games which if I share and it turns out a loss I may be blamed for sharing such predictions so I rather keep it to myself but some other day I do share

Just like the last time met in a champions league game it was really an epic game as neither team had it really easy although it was a final game which I usually characterized with such but then Madrid had to play well enough to become the champions as Napoli at that point was wanting to take to any chance to be the champions in that game untill Madrid sealed their victory.

Definitely a lot has changed since it's been five years they last met in a champions league game. Their strength, style of play and probably their tactics aswell must have experienced some level of changes as it's obvious in the results both team has produced in most recent times in their league games and also in the champions league aswell.

It's really going to be a difficult game to predict but then Madrid have got a challenge to resolve else it may appear a problem to them in their champions league game against Napoli and that has to do with getting a good striker to do the finishing for them and get them goals, Napoli aswell have to resolve the issues with osimehe before it turns out issues enough to affect the team but then Madrid stands to be my favourite and I hope they win.

Bayern Munich has been at their best this season with a series of a back to back winning streaks,they are also standing so tall amongst others in the German bundesliga this season, this is no new as they have always shown to be the best most recently and even last season, they have really been exceptionally brilliant this season both in their league game and at the UCL

Leipzig is not such a weak team aswell, going by the records in their last five games, they have won all five and they stand unbeaten at home and just before they will meet Bayern Munich they will first be meeting with Wehen which happens to be very weak when compared to Leipzig and may definitely loose the game which will in a way lift Leipzig morale to Stand Munich.

It's going to be a tough match for both sides as they both have good records and almost matching strength, going by their records they are both unbeaten at their home especially with the bundesliga league games, Bayer will be hosted by Leipzig and Leipzig having a record at home will want to defend the record but then a strong push will come from Bayern of which a draw is possible or at most 2 goals difference.

I don't see udinese getting a full point from this game, it almost technically not possible as udinese are not strong enough, they don't have the best of performance since this season and they have hardly won a game so even if they would want to I don't think it's with Napoli who happen to be one of the strongest in the league I mean amongst first 5 teams

Lazio who defeated Napoli recently is better than udinese, so I don't see the comparison matching up because if it were to be a weaker team who Napoli lost against the we could say there's a possibility it could be repeated against udinase but then they don't match up, if we must even take a careful look at the game, Lazio had to struggle to win they didn't find it so easy wining that game so it couldn't be said Napoli was weak.

Napoli is the defending champions as last season they were at their best and did deserved the title so I'm not expecting any less of them, the worse they could do will be a draw, I'm very sure udinese would really put up a strong resistance against Napoli because they will want to get some points to gradually bring them to the safe zone but I don't think it will be possible with this match as Napoli will want to make up for the most recent draw and loss the just got.

Usually recruiting young players is because it's believed they have the strength and capacity to run and play a complete game without getting tired most times, and they usually are less prone to injuries and fatigue as they are still very strong, they also have good sprint advantage aswell as they usually have a decline in sprint as they age, as seen with most old players.

Experience is aswell very important as it will be needed for decision making and other need actions on the pitch but sadly it's most Common with young players as they mostly lack experience with league games as it's usually their first time playing for the league and probably working with their coaches and I think this is the case of Chelsea as the boys are mostly young and new to the team.

It will take them really sometime to get used to the coaches tactics and with the new leagues they are been introduced to as some of them may not have played in the premier league before, the old player who have been in the team before the arrival of the new ones will aswell have some challenges getting along with the new players and their play styles.

Galatasaray did brilliantly well today I must say as they won the game but then I expected more from them, the winning margin was just too small I expected they would have taken advantage of the fact that instanbulspor weren't at their best and get a resounding victory over them  in this game but then a win still stands as a win regardless of how many goals.

Instanbulspor did get to have the best of it's team to play today due to certain factors which will take too long to discuss now but they they still showed some form of strength to Galatasaray making them not have a just easy game, they had to earn their win although they had most of the statistics to themselves but then istanbulspor did not relent in showing their ability.

Besiktas is most likely to win the game as they will see it as important the more because it's going to help them get some points to go up the table if only they could win the game.  Besiktas will be playing from away which may be a slight disadvantage to them but then it's most possible the game ends in a draw because of the importance attached to the game by both team.
