341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 20, 2024, 08:33:35 PM

for a popular team like Juventus to share the score for a draw is very embarrassing and on the one hand at the start of last season Juventus looked very enthusiastic and more consistent but towards the end of the season Juventus became weaker as they lost their mentality of competing with other top teams even against teams that were from the top bottom of the standings are also unable to get 3 points.
we can't blame anyone here but we have to look deeper into what the problem actually is because I think Allegri as Juventus coach has tried his best for the team and we also need to see if there are any players who have problems with Allegri that affect their performance on the field.

In accordance with the prediction I said at that time, betting on Juventus winning with small odds in this match is very risky and not equivalent to the risk we are taking and if we bet on BTTS, there will definitely be a lot of bettors who will win their bets in this match.
Asides the Copa Italia this season, there's no other outside contest Juventus will be a part of. They're aimed at securing the Serie A trophy even if Inter won't make it easy for them. The battle will be intense too and so many game wins are expected from both teams.
 
 Their last win is certain in the Copa Italia contest and they'd advance to the finals, although, they'll be rivaled with Roma who are also fierce to bag the trophy. So I'd say that this season, Juventus two trophy chances are just slim and with extra effort, the odds are either they take both or take one or take none. Thankfully , they were able to win and advance to the next stage of the Copa Italia. We anticipate how their next fixture for the contest would turn out. Let's see how the next months would unfold till the season is wrapped up.

 Well the party is over already and now Juventus have had some poor results which wasn’t expected though but they’re a football team and football is a game. I think the fans should take it easy as they don’t expect to have great results match in and out as this same Allegri have also won for them the Scudetto and they should know that the league is quite competitive and other teams also want to shine. Spaletti is said to be one of the huge favorites to replace Allegri and I think that’s not a great option right now though except he’s mentally ready.

 For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too.

 Ronaldo is so desirous to play in the 2026 World Cup as he really wants to be able to help his team achieve victory in the World Cup which is one feat he sincerely wants to avhieve for Portugal. I think this achievement is his driving force and what makes him still play with this much fire he’s playing with. This achievement is one that Ronaldo wants for himself as he knows how much of a legacy that will be for him to be able to achieve that for his Nation. I think this legacy won’t just last for the Nation but also for the world of football generally as a whole.
 
 you can see how much he tries to maintain his body and follow strict guidance as this has helped him still remain active till this stage and able to take on challenges in whatever league or environment he finds himself. Ronaldo compared to his time at Real Madrid is way off it but even at that he still tries to be the most important in the Saudi League despite his age and that has shown how much he keeps up his fitness to still be able to play at this age.

 ⁠I think he’s not prideful as his ego is ok on the field and is one that almost all elite athletes are having. You can also see how meek he is whilst off the field ftom his philanthropic lifestyle amd this shows he’s dedicated to his job and also touching lives off the field. I think this qualites of Ronaldo is a lesson for elites in the society that you can posses range of qualities and above all be humanly in your society.

This will be an interesting match for PSG because they have reached the semi-finals and of course they don't want to disappoint all their supporters, PSG must be able to show that they can get to the UCL final this season with the existing main squad, Mbappe certainly wants this achievement to be at least possible. Winning the title in the UCL season even though it is quite difficult, nothing can stop them if in the end PSG can win the UCL title this season because they have to be really serious about facing Dortmund, who in my opinion is the strongest team in the Bundesliga.

I'm sure PSG can beat Dortmund if they really play with different tactics and strategies than before, at least they can easily outwit Dortmund in terms of strategic play on the field, but many predict that the UCL final will be the meeting place for Munich vs Dortmund, but I'm sure that's not the case. will happen because Madrid will get rid of Munich and PSG will get rid of Dortmund, the most appropriate UCL final meeting is PSG vs Madrid where of course Mbappe can show his abilities in front of all Madrid supporters that he is still a quality player.  Grin
PSG are now in the semi finals and it’s looking like am early party especially after they’re confirmed to be facing Dortmund and the team is confident they can be able to overcome Dortmund as compared to either Bayern or Real Madrid. Well I think when you check it out, you’ll understand why the party is pretty early already.

 ⁠I think PSG shouldn’t be overjoyous that they will be playing Dortmund especially after that stellar performance against athletico Madrid, you’ll believe that PSG are up for a fight. The strength they displayed to be able to take on Athletico Madrid toe for toe shows enough reason why PSG should be extremely careful while approaching this game.
 
 Underestimating the strength of this Dortmund side will be the beginning of psg’s elimination off the ucl as they need to prepare extremely well to be able to defeat this Dortmund side that have shown resilience in defeating Athletico Madrid. Dortmund really want to get to the final and that will be them making a resounding name for themselves in their league and as such PSG ought to be careful how they approach the game.

 A lot will want a final of Dortmund and Bayern but we know very well that an idle final will be that of PSG and Real Madrid where we’ll see Kylian playing against his mew club. This will give Kylian more room to show his new club his level of performance and they will know the quality they’re about to welcome in to the club.

Luton are trailing 0-4 at the moment and it looks like they will experience their second defeat in a row after previously losing to City, and it is quite difficult for the home team to catch up because there are only 20 minutes of normal time remaining in the match.
What is actually surprising is how Burnley was able to lead from Sheffield United 4-1, and if Burnley is able to maintain their lead after the match is finished and it looks like they will indeed get three points because it is difficult for Sheffield to catch up, then Burnley still has a chance to survive if Nottingham Forest is experiencing bad luck in the next few matches, with just a few points difference from the team in 17th position, Luton or Burnley's chances are big enough to get out of the relegation zone, and this will be a tight competition for several teams until the end of the season
Luton match has ended and yes it ended in a big loss as they weren’t able to get lore than a goal from that match. This match once again shows how much this Luton defense is poor as they’re always know to be conceding over 3 goals.

 ⁠I think with the way they are conceding they might not be able to still remain in the top flight but par adventure they still remain, I think the coach needs to quickly fix up his defense line because the EPL doesn’t need you conceding so much like that. If you keep conceding you keep the attackers under much pressure to be able to score for the team to cancel out on goals conceded.

 Burnley winning Sheffield, I’m not surprised because in over 60 years, this Sheffield team has been the worst team whilst playing at home in the EPL. Burnley seems more balanced than this Sheffield side and as such, I’m not expecting something different from the scoreline.

 At the relegation zone, I think if Burnley can keep up this energy when they play United next then we could see some interesting competition at the bottom of the table but for now, I think the 3 clubs that came from relegation should please return. The EPL is interesting in the top half of the table as we have a mild bate in the bottom half.

I think, when Madrid get a draw at the Bernabeu, of course the second leg will be very difficult for Madrid when they have to play at the Etihad Stadium, but indeed what I expected was true because Manchester City was able to bring the game to penalties kick, but indeed the winning mentality possessed by Madrid in the Champions League certainly makes them able to overcome every pressure that exists,  In addition, I think, the grudge after last season was destroyed by Manchester City certainly makes them motivated to eliminate Manchester City this seasons, Madrid's chances of being able to win their 15th UCL trophy are of course wide open but still it will be difficult in my opinion.

Bayern Munich vs Madrid will be a match that deserves to be called the final of this season, although indeed Bayern Munich is down in the Bundesliga but we cannot underestimate them in the Champions League after successfully eliminating Arsenal, I think Madrid will find it difficult to beat Bayern in the semi-finals later and maybe the winner of the game will also be decided by penalty kicks, but I personally hope Madrid can reach the final with PSG,  And want to see the dilemma felt by Madrid fans when Mbappe can later score against Madrid and make PSG champions after he was rumored to join Madrid next season.

Real Madrid were able to go past City at the Etihad on penalties after a thrilling draw that ended the game after 120 minutes. This match was one exciting one and one we looked up to especially after the draw at the Bernabeu, you would expect Man City to deal with Real Madrid at the Etihad.
 
 Well Real Madrid showed resilience and a very strong winning mentality and that was essential for them to be able to overcome this Man City side as it helped them hold this Man City side all through 120’’ and them go ahead to defeat them on penalty shootouts. The way Real Madrid handled the game is the kind of mentality that’s needed in top matches as it helps a team come out victorious and with this kind of mentality you can start seeing Madrid as the next European Champions.

 ⁠A semi final has been set between Real Madrid and Bayern and that match is somewhat similar to that of Man City, just that Bayern at the moment aren’t in best of form but based on past experiences, you can believe they’ll be a match to Real Madrid. I don’t think it will end in a penalty shootout though because Madrid seems more fierce and would be able to get the win with enough goals at the Bernabeu and could probably get a draw at Germany.

 ⁠A final with Psg is actually a dream one as we will all want to see how Mbappe will be able to play against his soon to be club and if he will be able to help Psg with their first Ucl trophy. Well that’s just fantasy because we know Real Madrid will sure be getting their 15th UCL trophy this season especially after the way they were resilient against Man City.

Inconsistency? Have you been following them lately or you're just here for post count? Lol. They have just lost a game in the year 2024 in the Premier League Competition. I don't understand when you say they're not consistent. In the month of February, they scored a total of 30 goals in the Premier League Competition so I don't know where this inconsistency is coming from.

I don't think in the Premier League Competition it's about mentality for Arsenal, Glad to also see people giving Mikel Arteta his flowers. I Have a problem with why he would change his winning squad fir another. That changes, had it's effects during the game against Aston Villa.

It's just a lose for now, they have from now until the end of the season to fix things real quick. Like I always say, it's not over until it's over and never say never.
Off course, fans would be vexed. The change of players affected the rhythm of how they've been scoring and playing.
Yes they are not inconsistent because the way they bottle the league when they have the best advantage is quite worrisome. I think the person meant to say they’re consistent in bottling because that’s what this team does continuously and sincerely, the fans are getting tired already of this because with this kind of team and they’re not winning the league when next will they be able to win it.

 This team with all her goals is not able to consistently keep banging those goals and yet you say they are wrong for calling them inconsistent. The person is actually right, no doubt you must give them the needed applauds for the loud number of goals they’ve scored but what are those goals without been able to secure adequate points.

 ⁠It’s over already for Arsenal and why give him flowers because he actually is the cause of their current state. Why on earth will you build a squad and then get a winning team and when you need the win most, you change the squad and then during the game you’re mute. ⁠You make crazy substitutions that instead of helping the club, it destroys the whole team the more. Now the fans are already calling for Arteta to leave the club because he’s shown the traits of an average coach already.

Sorry but it seems looking at the current points and remaining games I don't think there will be any changes to the leaderboard until the end of the season. With 4 matches remaining I think it is almost impossible to change the standings, except for AZ Alkmaar and AJax. PSV and Feyenoord have secured tickets to the UCL next season because their points are no longer possible for other teams to catch up with. Twente is 5 points ahead of AZ Alkmaar. They will face AZ Alkmaar in May. Their other three matches will be against relatively weak teams. AZ Alkmaar is 7 points ahead of Ajax. This means that if Ajax is able to win all the remaining matches then they will collect 60 points. AZ Alkmaar only needs 2 wins to secure their position from Ajax. But they have tough games left as they have to play against NEC, Twente, Go Ahead Eagles and Fc Utrecht. And Ajax have an easier match than Alkmaar. I hope that at least Ajax can qualify for the UEL next season.
Well football they say isn’t always over till probably after the final whistle. This is one of the fun facts about football that keeps us glued to our screen each time we watch a game of football. In the match in the Eredivisie League, we saw some beautiful comebacks between Ajax and Twente.

 Twente took the lead quite early and the lead lasted a while and you’ll think that the game’s pretty over but surprisingly Ajax were able to turn things around and get maximum points. ⁠This competition makes a league get interesting and get fans want to know what’s happening in the league. The league is rounding up and we’re having about 5 matches to go and every team trying to make sure they secure their qualification spot.

 PSV are league winners already while Feynoord runners up and as such those 2 will be representing the league in the UCL. The likes of Twente will still need to be consistent to battle it out with AZ Alkmaar especially in the game between themselves and as such this gives Ajax and advantage that if they remain consistent then they can probably sneaky into  an European qualification spot.

At the moment PSG are of course getting closer to the Ligue 1 title, two consecutive wins in the remaining games will certainly allow them to win the trophy sooner this season before Ligue 1 ends, I think what you said is quite true because maybe before the Dortmund game starts next month of course PSG will be championship in ligue 1, so that later they will no longer be burdened with the league schedule which may be close to the schedule The Champions League, facing Dortmund is certainly an not easy job for PSG, although they were able to eliminate Barcelona in the second leg, of course, it does not guarantee PSG will be able to easily beat Dortmund later.

Actually, with the current 10-point gap between PSG and second place in Ligue 1, of course, the competition no longer occurs in my opinion, because it is impossible for Brest to be close to let alone overtake the points owned by PSG, PSG performance in Ligue 1 we cannot doubt, because their ability to dominate the league so far is different from other teams in Ligue 1 at this time which do not have the ability to be able to thwart PSG for winning the league trophy Ligue 1, the only thing I really want to see from PSG this season is how capable they are of winning the Champions League.
 All leagues are wrapping up already and taking a proper analysis of some of the clubs who started on a good note but right now struggling to maintain consistency, then you imagine what went wrong. We’ll try to look at this OGC Nice team who started the season quite fiercely and we thought they’ll be one big battle for PSG.

 ⁠The club fell along the line and surprisingly they’re down to 5th place still in a bid for an European spot. This Nice team started the season quite good but I think their defensive approach to games ruined their chances.⁠Yes it’s good to defend as it’s a tactics that works for teams pretty well but come on this is a league with over 30+ games and as such, you should know that while relying on your defense, you should have a very sharp and fierce attack that’ll be able to help bang those surprise goals.

 ⁠Monaco who sits 3rd will be battling out with Brest this weekend and this is a big opportunity for them to take over at 2nd place if they can get a win, I’ll double chance on monaco. For the Nice vs Lorient match, I’ll rather play a combo of double chancing Nice and Under 2.5 because Nice are good defensively and the ball could just go round the field for the 90 mins without finding the back of the met.

Liverpool elimination from the European League means the 3 top teams can focus on the EPL alone to fight for 1 trophy. And that will definitely make the competition even tighter so as not to lose any more points in the remaining matches they have. With no schedule outside the EPL, coaches are increasingly required to work harder because only the EPL trophy is still open for grabs and like it or not the players have to use all their abilities and energy. Both Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool have to move on from their bad results, although personally I am disappointed that there are no more Premier League representatives in the UCL and Europa League. Regarding the FA Cup, it depends on Man City whether they will be serious about getting it or just the EPL or both it depends on them.
Man City who were just eliminated from the Ucl will continue in their bid for the FA Cup this weekend against Chelsea. Yes they are seen as the better team in that encounter but surprisingly Chelsea too shouldn’t be underrated as probably they could be coming to increase the woes for the Citizens after their Ucl elimination.

 A proper mentality is needed because these are the only 2 trophies left for them and dwelling on the elimination from the ucl might not be good for them rather, they’ve got to try to focus on these two cups. In the epl they’ll face Spurs who’re in a bid to get back to Top 4. This means more work after the game with Chelsea, you now understand why they need a strong mentality.

 ⁠Liverpool too got eliminated from the Europa league which brings them to focus more on the EPL and sane with Arsenal though but the fear is with 6 games to go, will a team still slip up. Yes, City could probably slip, Arsenal too has higher chances of slipping up also.

 ⁠Well the proper mentality is needed from anyteam who wants to win the league but for City who’ll be out for the FAC Cup, yes I’m sure they will want to get back from the UCL Elimination and bounce back stronger but they should wait because Chelsea could give a huge surprise.

Even though Manchester City performed poorly at the start, in my opinion it is because they are optimistic and perhaps because of luck that they are now able to take the lead. Even though previously they had lost a player who could be said to be Manchester City's star, luck was on their side, with Liverpool and Arsenal giving Manchester City the opportunity to get ahead of them and take the lead even though the points were not much different.

considering Manchester City's performance, I think they can be consistent with before they were not in the leading ranking, but now they can lead. also with their next match I don't think they will experience serious difficulties, I think Manchester City can handle it well because I think they are quite confident for the next matches.
Taking a close look at the epl in this closing stage, you’ll understand how much pressure these clubs are on at the moment especially as most of the top 3 clubs will have some big opponents to face in the final 6 matches of the league. This pressure can destabilize the team and as such maximum experience is needed to overcome.

 ⁠Liverpool started quite on a good mote and a lot of us already thought they’ll end the season as league champions as a proper send forth for Jurgen who’s been committed to the club for the past 9 years. Well, the club fell to a loss to Crystal Palace over the weekend and that took them to 3rd place. This draw doesn’t mean it’s a over yet though, so let’s see what happens especially as they have the experience of chasing the league in this kind of pressure.

 Arsenal who were in this kind of position last season with a wide gap ended up bottling, so this season not much hope was on Arsenal and as expected they too fell to a loss to Aston Villa. This took them to 2nd place and sincerely the hope of Arsenal winning isn’t there at all especially as they still have about 4 top teams to play out of 6.

 Man City haven’t been at their best this season thought but come on, they’re now top of the league and as you know City when they get an opportunity to climb top, they tend to fight to stay there. Well let’s see how it all plays out in the final matches of the season as sincerely I wouldn’t want Man City winning the league.

Historically true, but who knows if a miracle can happen here since real madrid is the only strong club in UCL, given that Real Madrid is also up against such strong competition in the upcoming game since it's gonna face bayern which is equal to the real madrid like when it faced city. Bayern will be the next obstacle for Real Madrid to get its 15th UCL trophies. The only problem is that we are in UCL, and any surprise can happen at any time, which would be disastrous if Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich caused by bayern munich was not in good condition this time. it must be noted that if munich was bottle jobs on bundesliga current season.
Madrid has a much stronger mentality than the other club which is guaranteeing the club to play better. This is why this club has won the majority of UCL trophies compared to the other club. The upcoming game against Bayern Munich will be another difficult game for Madrid. Bayern appears to be in poor form, but they are still capable of reaching the semi-finals.

I wouldn't call it luck because Bayern has consistently defeated its opponents since the group stage and it's still stable till this time. I hope tuchel will not be fired if he can help Bayern Munich win the Champions League like what he did to the chelsea a few years ago. He has only ever done it on Chelsea and he needs a half of season to make it happen. This is why Madrid should always be cautious about it caused by tuchel probably knew how to counter it.
I believe Ancelotti was totally aware of Chelsea's victory over Madrid a few years ago. Ancellotti may put more awareness to how to avoid repeat the same mistake. There haven't been many changes to the real Madrid composition. This could be a key to Tuchel's success against Madrid in the upcoming game and he may also able to leave from the big pressure after bayern will get a win against madrid.

It's obvious that I'll watch this match rather than the one between Dortmund and PSG.

We are headed to the semi finals of the UCL and we already have 4 tough teams who’ll battle it to be at Wembley come June 1st, 2024. Yes amongst these 4 teams there’s a favorite already who’s in the mind of every football lover especially after they were able to overcome their fellow heavyweight across Europe in the Quater finals.

 ⁠The match between Real Madrid and Bayern will be to most viewed match in this stage of the UCL because mot much surprises are expected from the PSG vs Dortmund game as compared to this. The UCL is never short of surprises and who knows the surprise could be Bayern being able to go past Real Madrid to the finals.

 ⁠As funny as it may activate sound, it could actually happen especially when you consider the favt that this Bayern team haven’t been the best yet they still try to win. This alone shows hunger and determination especially as this is the only cup they are still on course to win.

 ⁠You can’t also underestimate Tuchel because he’s one coach that’s able to get the victory especially with a shaky Chelsea side in the ucl final. Though we trust Ancelotti to be able to bring down this bayern team especially as they don’t seem to be in the best of their form.

Salah penalty goal in the early minutes of the game was actually able to lift the morale of the Liverpool players at that time, but unfortunately the defense and play from Atlanta were solid enough to make Salah's goal the only goal created in the game while eliminating Liverpool from the current Europa League champion competition, a big defeat in the first leg certainly made Liverpool's chances to rise in the second leg will be very difficult and it was proven when Liverpool started playing in the second leg,Although they played very well in the game  but it was too late for them to chase the 3-goal deficit created by Atlanta in the first leg.
After Salah goal, I was pretty sure that Liverpool would be able to come back to at least level the aggregate goals in the game but it turned out that my estimate was wrong after no more goals were scored throughout the game.

Previously all of us including me were very sure if one of the teams between Leverkusen and Milan would meet Liverpool in the Champions League final this season, but it was quite unfortunate that besides Leverkusen the team that I was favorite before was eliminated before entering the semi-finals of the Europa League this season, I personally believe if Milan and Liverpool will be able to overcome the resistance of their opponents but in fact now both teams must be eliminated from the Europa League from a team that has never been seeded this season.
Sadly the first leg ended shamefully for Liverpool as they lost big at home to Atalanta and this only gives the Italian side extra courage to battle out the second leg strongly tomorrow. Liverpool has all it took to suppress their opponent and yes majority envisioned an encounter this season against Liverpool and Leverkusen but sadly I don't think it'll happen. Liverpool are an extra goal below cos of aggregates and it'll really take a miracle that they play Atalanta today without letting them net a goal and they covering up the pending goals too.

 Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Liverpool in the next phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless.
 
 The tussle between the two teams were evident yesterday and even though Liverpool did well to net in a goal, it was just in vain as they messed up greatly in the first leg and yes, they themselves knew there were no two ways about it because Atalanta were the host for the second leg and they managed to stay defensive till the last, defeating the big English side on aggregates and making sure that they get relevant this season.The outcome so far has given and will give Leverkusen the confidence to forge ahead for the trophy too, well it'll be everly glorious that they secure the two trophies this season. It only shows how prepared they were/are and will be for the battle.

Real Madrid have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and of course Bayern Munich will be a difficult opponent for them later, but when you say Madrid no longer care about the game against Barcelona, obviously you are very wrong man, because againts barcelona very important for Ancelotti to be able to grab the two remaining trophies for Madrid this season.  Throughout the season Madrid have been fighting to reach the top of La Liga, then when they are only one step away from winning the La Liga trophy why do you think they will let it go this season?

If you look at the current La Liga standings, of course you know how important the match against Barcelona is this week, currently Madrid is at the top of the standings and they are only 8 points separated from Barcelona in the second rank, so inevitably Madrid must take the match very seriously so that at least they are no longer chased in the remaining matches,  I think for now Ancelotti will not underestimate Barcelona in order to give Madrid two trophies this season.
Both big guns of the spanish league over the weekend were able to maintain their wins and be able to get maximum 3 points in order to still chase each other for the league this season. Both victories though were narrow victories but their matches were one interesting one to watch as we can see how both goals were wonderful ones.

 ⁠I know the opponents will bot be happy with the scoreline as the defeat didn’t come in such a very heavy scoreline rather they were able to just concede one goal only. This is one of the many ways where football can be one crazy game and goes unpredictable as no one expected any of this team to just get a gaol in their different matches.
 
 ⁠Well with 7 points ahead of these teams, I think the battle for the league will still go on and one very important competition will be the El Classico match and probably if Madrid will win, then they’ve successfully secured the league. This battle will be one fierce one and I would love to see how the battle goes down between these two.⁠ I don’t think Barca stands any chance though because 7 point gap is such a huge one to close against Real Madrid. So I feel both teams will maintain their play till the season end and Madrid will sure be winners of the league.

We may have already guessed that AC Milan has been eliminated from the UEL because they were defeated by As Roma. Of course this will not make Inter Milan feel overwhelmed by this week's derby match because AC Milan does not have the confidence to be able to play better, on paper it seems that Inter Milan is far superior. Compared to AC Milan, I am more interested in Bologna's match against As Roma. The rise of As Roma since Mourinho left will certainly be a threat to Bologna. because their point difference is very narrow to get into the top four.

De Rossi certainly wants to show his best game this season because As Roma also want to get a ticket to the UCL next season and they have to get rid of Bologna to get a place and finish in the top four, this is clearly not something that is difficult because Bologna in the last few matches has had poor results. OK, As Roma must be able to take advantage of this moment to be able to win the full three points in order to maintain the point difference with Bologna and get rid of them in the remaining final match. Of course against Bologna is an important match for As Roma.
The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.
 
 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor.

 A game of interest this weekend is the encounter between Roma and Bologna. The former team between the time of Rossi being added to the squad up until now have made useful difference in their approach to games. There's definitely improvement, although they're not at perfect spots on the league table but they still are a promising team who seem to have a greater advantage over their opponent.

 Bologna on the other hand are also improved in their performances and they've done their best to stay put in performing greatly till the last of the season. Hopefully the end of the game would favor both teams but it'll be a serious tussle for the two teams as at this point, even though points doesn't really matter to some extent, they still want to finish their games with the 3points victory.

Bayern Munich interest in signing Nagelsman was nothing but a form of despair Bayern Muchen, after losing their main target namely Alonso who stayed at Leverkusen, the dismissal of Nagelsman at that time certainly sparked a lot of controversy because when Bayern Munich sacked Nagelsman, munchen position was in a good state in the Bundesliga and Champions League, so I think the dismissal was unwarranted at all and without thinking of course Nagelsman Will reject Bayern Munich at this time after all the replies received by Nagelsman from Bayern Munich last season, besides that maybe Munich's interest in Nagelsman at this time cannot be separated from Germany's ability to beat France and the Netherlands in a friendly match some time ago.

At the moment Bayern Munich are looking for a replacement for Tuchel but I think maybe that will change later if Tuchel manages to win the Champions League this season, in my opinion it is Difficulty to find a new coach candidate and also maybe the Champions League trophy maybe will be able to change Bayern Munich's decision will to sack Tuchel at the end of the season, because reportedly now Bayern Munich will reconsider Tuchel's fate if Bayern Munich is able to win Champions League.
Tuchel's presence in the team ought to make a significant impact to their endeavors all time and also Kane's performance needed to add a big advantage to them but so far, their recent games have turned out opposite of their normal and expected performance rate. It'll only mean that their journey this season to a top spot is threatened and no one can say exactly if they'll be able to scale through it.

 They've not been encouraging and it's quite appaling that they remain depreciated week after week. Sadly though, Tuchel's stay in the club is seemingly threatened, his days are actually numbered and it's understandable that the management would want a switch for the coach position as they expected him to be better considering how much effort his put in recent times and even with flaws, they need not to keep overlooking it as it's unending.

 Well it'll only task them to find a proper hand that'll replace Tuchel's as so far they need not to take their chances and cause this to continue unto the next season. Alonso is being quested for and if they're able to secure him, well, hopefully he'll be able to take them out of the state they are. His records are speaking for him and so it's understandable that they see him as a proper prospect for the job ahead in the club.

 Not also forgetting the fact that they've got to strive to gain back their name in the league. Yes, acquiring new players is essential to a team and with their caliber, they really have what it takes to go for the best of the bests. This season's experience should be enough for them to learn and react better to next season. They're an impactful team and so they should do their best to get whatever necessities needed for a good team outcome.

Yes, it's true, Al Taawon is indeed superior to Al Khaleej. Because as you said, the rankings of the two teams (Al Taawon and Al Khaleej) in the Saudi Arabian League are quite different. So with this we can conclude with certainty that Al Taawon's performance is indeed superior to Al Khaleej. Because if you look at the head to head record from the last 5 meetings, the result is that Al Taawon is indeed superior to Al Khaleej with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. But even so, the last meeting between Al Taawon and Al Khalej in the Saudi Arabian League ended in a draw. So in this meeting the potential for a win and a draw is wide open for Al Taawon or Al Khaleej.

Apart from that, this match will actually be a good opportunity for Al Khaleej to move up in the Saudi Arabian League standings. The reason is that currently Al Khaleej is ranked 10th with a score of 34 points. Meanwhile, the team in 9th place (Al feiha) and 8th place (Damac) collected 35 points. So if Al Khaleej can win the match against Al Taawon, Al Khaleej can move up 2 places. The reason is that Al Feiha's opponent, who is ranked 9th, will face a very strong team, namely Al Nasr. So it is very likely that Al Feiha will lose. Meanwhile, Damac, who is ranked 8th, will face Al Okhdood. And there is a big possibility that Damac can win or draw this match.

Therefore, if Al Khaleej can win against Al Taawon then Al Feiha loses to Al Nasr and Damac can draw with Al Okhdood. So, Al Khaleej is certain to be able to climb to 8th place in the Saudi Arabian League standings. Therefore, in this match Al Khaleej will definitely try their best to win the match. And I personally will try my luck, and will bet on Al Khaleej.
The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al-Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al-Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al-Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism.

 It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. Al-Nassr is one big team in the SPL that when fixed for a game, they've got some quantuble high chance of being victorious. I'd say for all teams in that league, it's kind of like Al-Hilal being the only team that may give Al-Nassr a tough time. There's still this confidence that they'd still be able to meet up and win the trophy this season. Although Al-Hilal is not a team that should be joked with, they're a good side too as Al-Nassr.

  Al-Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al-Hilal and the other teams.  The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. For Al-Taawon and Al-Khaleej, they can only strive to stay in shape and keep being relevant in the league. It's good and also not good that so far, their battles with teams in the league have still left the Saudi league with thesame set of top teams so far. We hope that unto the next season, there'd be differences in the SPL as there have been with other European leagues too.

I don't know what happened but indeed finances will always be determining factor in building team to be able to appear with perfect strength and be able to compete to surpass other team, I believe PSG is the richest team and they have all the supporting factors behind it.
But when Mbappe leaves, PSG will lose that value because this means PSG has lost one strength, maybe they can bring in another player who is much more expensive but that will not guarantee that they will be much better than Mbappe.
Strength of team on average only focuses on one or two core players and most team always experience conditions like this, whatever many people say, but with Mbappe leaving I sure PSG will still have declining performance.
This is not as easy as what you are talking about, look at what the future will be like and I very sure that what I say will definitely happen.

I won't say how the competition was few season ago when LOSC became champions because this was quite long time ago, around 4 years ago and we are here to talk about the future of Ligue 1, especially PSG, which is the best dominator in this League.
Yes of no doubt Is finance the main block of the success of every football team, as without financial capacity most clubs tend not to be successful because they lack the financial capacity to do some things. Take a look at the current Barca squad and then you’ll understand the need for finance as the poor financial state of the club is making the club perform on an average level. ⁠For PSG, you can yes they are balanced financially especially with the Arabian owners, which means the club has some good cash to spill on investment for success.

 Though most of the club’s success can singularly be attributed to Kylian because of how much impact he brings to the club and you begin to wonder what he club will look like when he finally leaves for free this summer. ⁠Well, the club is financially buoyant and should be able to immediately get a sharp replacement that will be able to step on the shoes of the departed Kylian. Now the main problem will be getting that fit replacement as we know mist players find it hard to be consistent with their top performance.

 ⁠That not withstanding, with a good scout, I think the club will be able to check someone who’ll be able to easily fit into the shoes of Kylian as that’s what the club needs to keep remaining dominant in the league. Anything outside that could sure see a repetition of how they suffered when Lile won the league but I don’t think the club’s board will willingly let their club be ridiculed like that as they will rather spend the cash to sign adequate players for the club.

yep, Man City dominance is still the main factor in giving Man City a strong push to win another title in the EPL, but the problem here is that Liverpool, which is only 2 points behind, can still take over the top of the standings if they can steal 3 points from Fulham in the upcoming match.
on the one hand, Fulham is currently still a team that is having difficulty maintaining consistency and more precisely looks like a mediocre team that will only finish below the top 10 in the EPL standings.
meanwhile, Man City is currently feeling down with their failure to win the UCL title because they were defeated by Real Madrid and it has been proven that Man City this season is not as strong as last season and Liverpool still has a big chance to take over the top of the standings.

Arsenal, more precisely, mentally is not ready to compete for the EPL title this season even though they have an experienced line up of players but in fact they are still having difficulty maintaining consistency and I will say once again that Arsenal has no chance of getting the EPL title this season.
The EPL race is still going fierce even though we’ve had Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points over the weekend which saw Man City end the gameweek comfortably in top spot. This is what makes the epl one of the toughest league across Europe as the competition in the league is usually top notch and one that you wouldn’t want to miss.
 
⁠ Man City are very dominant and each time they get to the top of the league, I think that’s when teams should get scared of them more because of their fierce attack line. Well Liverpool have been able to win them in time past despite the dominance of Pep and his City side and so many are still tipping Liverpool to repeat such victory again.
 
 Between Liverpool and Arsenal, Liverpool have the better chance because of the experience as compared to Arsenal who probably right now the mentality of the players might have dropped especially after the loss over the weekend and the Ucl elimination. Liverpool will play Fulham this weekend and you’ll sure predict Liverpool being able to thrash this Inconsistent fulham side.

 Man City loss to Real Madrid could either build up the players mentality or destroy it and as such this is to say Liverpool or Arsenal could take the advantage this weekend. The issue now is Arsenal ready for a challenge because they have to beat an improved Chelsea side to be able to get their feet back in the race.

Real madrid has sent out city off Champions League caused by it was losing on the penalty against real madrid. Manchester city team is now only solely focused on winning the remaining games in the premier league caused by this is the only chance to get another trophy. City is still capturing the Premier League trophy but the competition has not yet ended since city must have faced some difficult fixtures at the end of season. This will be difficult for Manchester City because they will be up against some strong clubs at the end of seasons. Imo, Pep will always use the best squad to help the club win the Premier League again this season since it's just getting even closer to win the trophy. We are also getting even closer to the end of season
Manchester City has a significant advantages over its competitors because it has reclaimed the lead in the competition which is also making liverpool and arsenal have lesser chance to win the trophy. There are still two trophies available for city farming. The failed in UCL is not making pep and will lose its winning mentality to beat

The EPL still remains one very tough competition that’s always difficult to come by for teams especially with the pressure from trying to win the league, the teams tend to make silly mistakes and fall to losing points. Last weekend it was Arsenal’s and Liverpool both falling to defeats and losing points and as such giving Man City the edge to be able to go on and stay on top of the league.
 
 There are still doubts of man City being able to win the title especially with the tough fixtures they have and please a correction the match against Chelsea is for the FA Cup which means, City still have a huge chance of lifting the double, the FA Cup and also the league. Well Liverpool is a team that shouldn’t be written off just yet especially as the difference between them and City is just 2 points and they have a good experience on this type of run.
 
 Arsenal too on the other end might want to go so hard for the league but I think the tough fixtures will be their major setback as you begin to contemplate if the players mentality will be strong enough to get 3 points in those matches. Man City were eliminated in the UCL and as such this loss will now make them very focused on the league majorly.

 ⁠So it’s safe to say the competition and battle for the league ain’t over yet as this could sure happen till about a game week to go before we could probably see a clear winner for the league. Man City being on top of the table gives them major advantage as they tend not to usually drop anytime they make sure they get themselves in top spot and after the loss of the Ucl, i think they’ll go all out to at least get the League trophy.

Galatasaray still managed to maintain their championship chances this season after Alanyaspor they managed to beat with a score of 4-0 yesterday, playing at  Alanyaspor home  certainly does not make galatasaray difficult because indeed in terms of squad quality, galatasaray clearly they are superior so it is not surprising that galatasaray can beat Alanyaspor very easily and  with a fairly large score in the match,  after the referee issued a red card to the Alanyaspor coach in the 19th minute, of course the Alanyaspor players seemed to start losing the direction of the game so it was easy for Galatasaray to dominate the match, even though they continued to be pressured by Galatasaray but still Alanyaspor was able to provide a little resistance even though it was unable to prevent them from defeat.

Galatasaray currently managed to return to the top of the standings with a difference of 2 points from fenerbache, the competition to get the trophy this season looks like it will look quite fierce because both teams have consistency and good performance in the championship competition, although currently Galatasaray is at the top of the standings but certainly that does not guarantee them the championship because after all fenerbache also does not want to lose the opportunity to win this season.
Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would hopefully end up as a victory for them.

 After being able to beat Alanyaspor who were their host yesterday, it only proves to the team in general that they are and should still be highly rated as a top priority team. They've had games in past that have put them at difficult spots but one way or the other they've bounced back. For the defeated team, the host advantage didn't just work well for them sadly. Maybe they'll have another better luck in their next game but I guess so far the Turkish League is one that will take long till it's winners are decided. It just seems like all the teams in the league are performing at thesame tempo which has caused the table to be difficult to decide.

 At the moment, Galatasaray are toppest on the table and the season is going to last up until 5 weeks later. Now you'd ask if the top team would stay put in their right performance till the end or it'll get sloppy for them. For me, I believe they've got what it takes to stay on top and yes the few more games left no matter the intensity in it, I doubt that Galatasaray would get defeated in any, rather it'll be an unbeaten stride for them till the end of the season.
