^ What Brentford needs to do is somehow go for a draw against these big teams like City, Utd, Chelsea, etc. The Chelsea match could be a tough one though. If they can mark Lukaku good enough and take hold of the midfield, maybe they can draw who knows? But so far I'm very satisfied with what they have shown in the premier league and let's see how long they can hold onto that.

Roma have done a great job so far with Mourinho in the league. They won five of their seven league matches so far. They lost the other two but one of them was against Lazio away so it was a normal loss I think. But losing to Verona wasn't very ideal of course. But it is for sure that we are watching a much better Roma than the last season. They have a big chance to end the season in top 4 as long as they keep up the good work.

Looking at Roma this season from the previous season, it seems to be quite stable. Mourinho is able to continue his work properly. He is very experienced. Despite the defeat against Lazio, I would say that Roma performed well enough. Their opponent in the next match is Juventus. Without Ronaldo, Juventus is having a bad time. Mourinho must take this opportunity. And you have to earn 3 points from this match. Although it will not be easy.

Now it seems a very hard game for RCB. Lost valuable 3 wickets only for 38 runs. End of 7 overs they are able to collect only 38. Now Padikkal and Maxwell are at the crease. Bangalore still has a chance to win. Maxwell, Padikkal, and De Villiers. All three have the ability to win the match. I still think Bangalore will win the match unless they lose another wicket before 12 overs.

Your guess is probably going to be right. RCB did not lose any wickets before 12 overs. Maxwell is batting well. He collected 36 runs from 21 balls. He hit two fours and two over the boundary. Bangalore needs 56 off 42 balls to win. Is it too much? Since there are still players like De Villiers and Maxwell, I think this match is now completely under the control of RCB.

I agree with you. The stats say it all Inter is the highest scoring team in the league with  22 goals compared to Lazio's 15. Lazio's defense could be a problem as they have conceded 12 in the 7 games played. So, I'm guessing that Inter's attack will be able to score through Lazio's defense, and considering the form  Dzeko is in, that should not be a big problem for them. I predict that Inter will win this match against Lazio.
Inter are unbeaten in the last 7 match, while Lazio have suffered 2 defeats and they are also not having a good defense so far. Conceding 12 goals in 7 match is proof that the defender's performance is not good and will be an advantage for Inter who have now scored 22 goals in 7 match. Inter would have won that match even though Lazio were playing in front of the home crowd. Defeat becomes very possible if Lazio do not improve the performance of their defenders in that match.

Since Lazio's defense is weak, Inter Milan's forward is strong. The only thing that can be said is that a win is waiting for Inter Milan. But the match was a home match for Lazio. They will get home advantage. At home, Lazio's team was able to resist the strong Roma team. Roma's defense is not weak. Lazio won 3-2 against them. Of course, Inter Milan should not consider Lazio weak. If Inter Milan play their normal game, they will win

With the games in the season played so far it is clear Arsenal and Tottenham have no automatic right to finish in the top 6 when the season ends.

It would be a formality to say Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool with be in the top 4 but will any of the three teams: Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester City finish in the top 5? I do not think so.

I would say West Ham United will finish 5th and I hope Brentford finish in the top 10 because that is a great first season back in the EPL for them after such a long absence.

Well, it's too early to judge though, but Football is a funny game, teams like Arsenal and Tottenham can always bounce back and try to hit the top 6 spot- though it will be very hard for them though. Specially Brentford's defense has been very good so far this season. Where teams like Tottenham, West Ham, and Arsenal conceded 10 goals in the first 7 matches, they only conceded 6.

After the national break, I see that we are going to have a really big and nice match between Lazio and Inter on the first day of the match week. Lazio have been really strong in their home matches so far. They didn't get any loss in those ones and defeated even Roma by 3-2. This must be a sign for Inter to be really careful against them. Inter are still one of the teams that haven't got any loss. If they don't take this match very seriously, they could get their first loss. I think that both teams will score in this match. But it is very hard to predict which side would be able to win or if it would end in a draw.
Right, I predict it will be difficult for Inter to win this match but for a draw, I think it is still possible to happen. Inter were previously able to win away against Fiorentina with a 3-1 win score, but then Inter were held to a draw at home against Atalanta. Against Lazio is also the biggest obstacle for Inter to get full points, but to bet on both teams to score is a good option too because after all both teams are not so perfect in defense but good enough in scoring goals.

I agree with you. The stats say it all Inter is the highest scoring team in the league with  22 goals compared to Lazio's 15. Lazio's defense could be a problem as they have conceded 12 in the 7 games played.

We always see the Leverkusen team as strong at the start of the season. But as the days go by their performance tends to be weak. We saw the same situation with the Leverkusen team last season. So Bayern Munich has nothing to worry about with Leverkusen. In the next few matches they will start moving to the bottom of the points table.
I even hope that Bayern Leverkusen can be consistent until the end of the season, so that we will see tougher competition from several clubs in the Bundesliga to win the title, so far only Dortmund and Bayern Munich will continue to compete tightly until the end and of course if Bayer Leverkusen can also run until the end of the season, of course, we can see a different bundesliga than usual this season.

The German league or should I say the Bayern League xD has been the race of 1 or 2 horses for a long time. In recent years, Dortmund has lost its sharpness, so it has only become the Bayern League. But this season  Leverkusen has started very good. They have the same amount of points as Bayern and are 2nd in the tabLE. Don't know how long they will be able to hold onto the form, but maybe their next matches against Bayern could be a difference maker. But I'm very optimistic about them at least giving a fight for the top place against Bayern this season.

I agree that the referee will have to look closer, if the shooter is going on the defender's body and the defender is going vertical or shall I say straight after the shooter, then it should be a foul on the shooter.
Curry is know to abuse this before, so we will see if referee are going or a "no call", or worst offensive foul on him.
But the one earlier is a clean mistake from Curry's defender. He's really good at attracting the contact,
for sure, Steve Kerr knows the new rule, but he is not convinced that this one is part of it. He smiles while talking to the ref.
But I agree with this new rule as players is no longer can initiate contacts,
Young and Harden are really good at doing this one to get the refs attention,
if the refs will call offensive foul, we will see more adjustment in the players side,
they won't take the risk of doing this old trick.

I think, I kind of like this new rule implemented. Though we might need some more time to judge it perfectly, but from a naked eye, it seems kind of fair to me. Players like Lebron and Harden are good at abusing this technique but I think if this rule is strictly followed, we might see a shift of attackers trying other kinds of playstyle. Maybe just let some games fly by and then we can come to a conclusion about this rule being fair or not.

So far Napoli success make wonderful start with seven match and win for all and now collected 21 point and have first position on table, I think too early to make decision Napoli is better than AS Roma although now Roma lost twice from seven match and only win for five match. But have lucky for Napoli without participant on champion league this season and just play on Europe league make them not really busy and Europe league is not their destination to be champion.
With the results obtained by Napoli so far, it can be said that Spaletti succeeded in replacing Gattuso's position, which was not optimal for Napoli last season so that he only managed to finish in 5th place. Spaletti is not a new coach like Gatusso, he is a coach who has given trophies (if I'm not mistaken ) for AS Roma, although not a Serie A trophy, but it was enough to give the club something to be proud of. Perhaps, Spaletti can prove that he can bring Serie A title as his individual achievement this season.
It is always about the fit of the manager with the team and not the talent of the manager always. Of course there are bad managers, there is no arguing with that, but there are also times when the manager of a team doesn't fit that club and they end up underachieving as well.
I personally believe that is exactly what happened with Mourinho and Spurs last season, Mourinho is not a bad manager and we all know this, dude won so many things in his life, but last season with Spurs he was not good at all and he was manager of so many UCL winner level teams (or at least contending for it) and now he is managing a conference league level team just because he had some bad situations.
Gattuso may or may not be great, but it is obvious that he wasn't a great fit on that team, now we are looking at Spaletti and yes he is good but also he is a great fit at the same time.

Napoli looks very good and is in great shape this season. Their team coordination has been very good. It can be seen clearly on the pitch that, the new coach has been training the team hard on the training days. They seem like they are ready for anything you throw at them. So far they have scored 18 goals in 7 matches and have only conceded 3 in their 7 matches. It could be early to say, but Napoli is my potential title holder for this season.

That in itself shows how great the English Premier League is where smaller teams, even minnows can match up to the bigger clubs when they meet on the football pitch. I am pleased for Brentford, they have been the surprise package this season so far.

Brighton and Brentford are 6th and 7th respectively in the league with 14 and 12 points each.  It’s nice to see Brighton finally getting the results they’re due.  Last season they were playing very well, esp during the beginning of the season but the results just weren’t there.  And Brentford, what can I say..  I was all praise and was telling everybody to watch out for this club before the season started.  I expected them to stay up but I never expected them to do this good.  Lol.  

Brentford placing 7th after 7 matches came as quite a surprise to me. They are even on top of Tottenham and Arsenal and Leicester. That's a very good start to the season from a comparatively smaller team in my opinion. Hope they can hold onto their good form till the end of the season and maybe try to finish within the top 7 or 8 teams.
3471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 05, 2021, 07:02:15 PM
They have to get rid of dependence because next season Kane will leave the club in my opinion. They will only have Son and their attacking system will be worse with only Son. In Premier League, this season we see another Korean player is shining, Hwang Hee Chan.
Is it crazy to buy him and combine him with Son, as a replacement for Harry Kane?
4 appearances and 3 goals for Wolves
I don't think Spurs will be looking the way of Hwang if they are to sell Kane, I mean, I know Hwang has been playing well in the last couple of matches, he scored good goals against Watford and Newcastle respectively, but he is yet to prove himself, the season is still very long and he could flop sooner or later, or he could not, and even if he stays great till the end of the season, it's just one season, and he could prolly be a "one season wonder".
What I basically mean is that the risk is going to be much for Spurs to buy such player, and considering the fact they are definitely going to sell Kane for a huge sum of money (that's if they sell him), thus you'll expect them to spend at least a chunk of that in replacing him, through buying a very good and renowned striker that has been scoring goals for many seasons now. That being said, I wish Hwang all the best.

It is inevitable that Kane will be sold in the next 1 or 2 transfer windows. teams like Real Madrid and City are searching for a good striker and Kane is on their list. I guess even Kane knows that he can't win any trophies with Spurs so he should even want to leave for teams like Real and City. But if he is sold, Spurs will miss the 30 goals he scores every season for them. Son alone can only do much. Pretty tough times ahead for Spurs if Kane leaves.

A long gap between the upcoming game and the recent one completed on 30th September. Seems a big gap? Next Besiktas is going to play against Sporting team. Both team have not yet won a single match in Group C. Its Ajax and Darmund who had the chance to win 2 matches each. Lets see who wins on October 16th. Hope they do not make the game draw. One should beat the other. Lets see.
Sporting is better than Besiktas in quality, and they have better player most chance this match will be ended in draw because at home Besiktas is better in few circumstances they can beat sporting but still this is going to be very good competition between two teams those have nothing for next round just fighting for spot in Europa League spot.
Ajax Vs Dortmund is fight for top spot in this group both teams are equal in quality but Ajax done very good in first match against sporting, and they also won second match as well but Dortmund done some hard work but still here both teams will fight for their spot and Ajax can win this race because they are some better than Dortmund recently.

Dortmund should be winning against Ajax I'm guessing. Till then Haaland will be back from his injury and although Dortmund played very well without Haaland, and with him in the attacking third, Dortmund is very dangerous. With Bellingham also playing very well, he active or passively made Dortmund score about 80% of their goals this season which is incredible.

With this defeat, Bayern Munich position at the top of the standings began to be threatened by Leverkusen who also has the same points as Bayern Munich at 16.

We always see the Leverkusen team as strong at the start of the season. But as the days go by their performance tends to be weak. We saw the same situation with the Leverkusen team last season. So Bayern Munich has nothing to worry about with Leverkusen. In the next few matches they will start moving to the bottom of the points table.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl. They batted later against Punjab and won the match by 6 wickets. I think for the same reason they have decided to bowl first in today's match. But if Rajasthan's batsmen can perform as well as in the previous match, they will undoubtedly target more than 190 runs. At the moment, Mumbai does not have the ability to win by batting for such a huge run.
After watching the RR team's 190-run innings in 17.3 overs in the previous match, I didn't want to see the adventure of betting on MI. In today's match, I bet on Rajasthan's victory. Rajasthan scored 26 runs in 3 overs. If the first wicket pair can form a partnership of 50 runs, then RR will be able to collect more than 180 runs in today's match. Their batters are in good form.

after 13 overs, RR is able to collect 63 runs and they lost 5 wickets. I will not say weak batting, I will say there is no continuity in the performance of batsmen. After scoring 190 runs in the previous match, such a batting disaster in today's match was completely unexpected. Many like me may have bet on the victory of Rajasthan today. Everyone seems to be losing money today.

Interesting match schedule for today RR vs MI. After defeating CSK I am pretty much sure that RR has the much-needed confidence. MI performance throughout this tournament has been depressing. I am pretty much sure they will repeat the same performance. I am putting my money on RR today.

It seems safe to bet on RR in today's match. Although their bowlers gave a lot of runs in the previous match, the performance of the batsmen was remarkable. If the batsmen can perform as they did in the previous match, then defeating a team like Mumbai will not be a problem for Rajasthan. Moreover, Rajasthan's bowlers are good enough. I am hopeful that they will be able to perform well against a weak batting lineup like Mumbai.

I will be surprised to see Turkey winning vs Norway even without Haaland in honestly. They showed one of their worst performance this year.. Meanwhile Turkey odds are better @2 than Norway @3.5! we will see what they can do!
If Håland is injured, then it will get tough for Norway. They are very heavily dependent on him. And for Turkey, let's not forget their good performances over the last few years, although their recent form is not good. I would say without Håland, Turkey would be the solid favorites against Norway. Another important factor to remember here is that the match will take place at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul, and Turkey will be having the home advantage. Now I don't know whether the odds are justified or not. Turkey at 2.00? Not enough to compel me to make a bet in their favor.

I will not say that Turkey performed well in last few matches. Their performance in the last few matches is very poor. Yet Turkey played great in their last match against Norway. With players like Haaland in the squad, Norway could not score a goal against Turkey. Turkey won that match by 3-0 goals. The next match is Turkey's home match. I think they can win this match too.

However, Kolkata managed to beat Hyderabad in today's match and scored two valuable points. Yet their batting seemed disgusting to me. After the bowlers bowl so well, the batsmen should bat responsibly, dominate the entire match and win. I did not like the batting of Iyer and Nitish Rana. Iyer has scored 8 runs off 14 balls and Rana has scored 25 runs off 33 balls. They must remember that this is a T20 match. Here you have to score more than the ball. Although their goal was not too much, they should have batted more responsibly.

Looks like the Lille team is slowly returning to form. They won two matches in a row. Today, they have won 2-0 against the strong Marseille. Marseille has been performing very well since the beginning of the season. It was not easy for Lille to defeat them at this moment. I want the Lille team to perform well and be among the top 3 teams in the points table.

In today's matches I bet on the victories of the favorites, Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig and Wolfsburg. Borussia and Leipzig are playing against definitely weaker teams and should achieve easy and convincing wins. It seems that Wolfbsurg, who plays against Borussia Moenchengladbach, has the most difficult task. The hosts, however, are in good shape and are particularly dangerous on their pitch, so they should beat the opponent.
Despite Wolfsburg being a strong team, today's match will not be easy for them. Although Gladbach did not perform well this season, they are an experienced team. They drew the match with the powerful Bayern Munich. But in today's match, I thought the Wolfsburg team would be able to win. But Wolfsburg has already conceded two goals. They conceded 2 goals in just 7 minutes of the match. If Borussia now plays defensively, they will be able to win. And I will lose the bet.

Wolfsburg managed to pay a goal. Gianluca Waldschmidt scored for Wolfsburg. Gladbach's player Breel Embolo scored a goal and made an assist. I look forward to seeing many more goals in this match. My assumption is that Wolfsburg's players will be able to score at least two more goals. However, Wolfsburg is committing a lot of fouls in today's match. They have already committed 9 fouls, while Gladbach has committed only two.

Barcelona oh Barcelona, ​​0 goals in 2 match that ended in defeat in the group stage is a very sad slap for them. Honestly I really want them to go through to the next stage, but their poor performance in the last 2 games make no sense. None of the attackers the team has scored and they have conceded 6 goals. No longer great with the existing composition of players or R. Koeman should be fired? I agree with the second option, but it becomes impossible due to very bad financial condition and it looks like they have to accept the offer of fresh funds from the dubai company this time.
It's sad to see how the high and mighty have fallen over the years. The team has basically fallen apart. Frontline and backslide did very little in that Benfica to aid the team. The way I see it, Koeman isn't even the only problem that Barcelona has to fix. It runs deeper than that. They might not make it out of this group if they don't start winning games from their 3rd group stage match.
I personally am the one who disagrees with Koeman's decision, because upon his arrival at Barcelona Koeman immediately sacked Suarez and I think it was a ridiculous decision. And again, the financial crisis due to the pandemic made it even more devastating, because if Suarez is still in the squad at least Barcelona still has a chance to improve management with achievements that can be achieved. Now, there is no hope for Barcelona to get the title in all competitions because Barcelona have to start again from scratch and it is not easy.

So far, all of Koeman's decisions in Barcelona have been wrong. He fired Suarez, many at the time thought Suarez was old. So maybe Koeman isn’t interested in keeping him on the team. But with the help of Suarez, Atletico Madrid won the title. Koeman, on the other hand, wants to play defensively with the Barcelona team. Because their defense is weak. Now Barcelona can't attack even against weaker teams, can't score. I think now that the Barcelona team has such a situation, Koemna is responsible for all this.
