The bundesliga this season is the most entertaining one in recent years the gap between the first and fifth position is only three points but i still doubt the other teams can keep up, most of them are inconsistent in term of performance and results so i think soon bayern will get a comfortable distance from the others.
Bundesliga has become very competitive, it is as if other teams are putting much effort to see they take Bayern Munich position in the league. Bayern's Munich performance this time is not even convincing if they can even the league this season. Bayern Munich is struggling at the moment. |

But i have a question... won't we have big differences in temperatures during some games?
Because the world cup is held in 3 different countries. For example, in Canada we know there is a cold country (generality), but on the other hand, in Dallas, Houston and even Mexico, temperatures tend to be warmer than in Canada, could this be a problem and could it harm some teams ?
Canada and Mexico will only get rations for the group stage and after that all matches will be played in the United States that I know and surely teams playing in Canada will need adjustments, lucky for teams playing in Mexico because they will get relatively the same weather as the United States. And you're right, the cities in Canada that will hold matches will be relatively colder that month than cities in Mexico or in the United States, you can see examples on this website. Weather adjustments can be detrimental but they can't complain about that as happened during the World Cup in Qatar which was relatively hotter than the previous host countries. regarding changes in temperature that will affect player performance, of course this is no longer a big problem for professional players at the world cup because they must be able to quickly adapt to the temperatures around the field The US and Canada seem cold and cool, only in Mexico is it possible that some of the players competing there have to adjust to the temperature there I think Qatar weather is very hot, and if player's were able to adapt to the weather in Qatar that of Mexico/Canada/USA won't be a problem. Weather has never been a problem to player's, they will always adapt in any environment they find themselves. Weather in Canada is always favourable to sport men. |

Unfortunately Real Sociedad couldn't get a win against Real Madrid because Real Madrid's defense was difficult to penetrate and fortunately Real Sociedad didn't lose to Real Madrid because when they lose, Real Sociedad will definitely move down and out of the top three at the top of the standings.
it will not happen because if you look at the standings, it is clear that Sociedad has a point difference that secures them in the top 3 of the standings. this draw will only benefit Barcelona, which is getting stronger at the top. and also Atletico who has the ambition to catch up on points from Sociedad and Madrid. I think there will still be a lot of changes in the standings, especially for ranks 2 to 6 shortly. Barcelona fans Celebrated the draw like they won the league already yesterday But Real Madrid honestly has to make signatures Not comfortable with Kross Modric for now Ceballos was the only better midfielder yesterday. Camavinga is also a joy to watch The outcome of Real madrid game is very much important to Barcelona fans, so any game that doesn't favour Real Madrid it will be a great joy to them because it is an advantage for Barcelona to easily win the league. If Real Madrid had won the game point would have been close to that of Barcelona. |

Yes. it seems, Arsenal did not prioritize to win the FA CUP trophy. if so, Arteta will play his main starting line-up against Manchester City. after all, Arsenal have enough time off if only to focus on Premier League competition matches. however Arteta seems to prefer playing other players than, Odegaard, Martinelli, B.white, Salaiba, who sat on the bench.
I agree with the consensus that Arsenal is more focused on winning the Premier League or at least being among the top 5 teams. This is the reason why I think they under so much pressure and why being knocked out of the FA didn't hurt them. And if at the end they end up not winning or being in the top 4 position it will be heart breaking both for them , their fans and non-fans who are presently rooting for them. Arsenal priority is nothing but to win the English premier league league, I'm still very sure Manchester City won't be able to beat them just like in the FA competition. Arsenal take all their Premier league games very serious. Arsenal have done more than enough to win this season, they don't have much problems. |

I wouldn't believe Juventus can still loose to monza at a critical point like this. They have now recorded just 3 wins only in their last 7 matches and this is quite unhealthy for series a title race. It's very interesting to see The likes of Ac Milan, and Juventus who use to be the serie A top contenders now struggling to have a permanent place in the top 4 standing while Napoli remains unperturbed upon all the turbulence going on in the itali serie a title runs.
Juventus have really been struggling this season, it is even very difficult to win small teams. Juventus is in the 13th position, I'm not sure if they can get to the top 4 position like in previous season, it has been so bad for Juventus this season. |

Chelsea is having a very big problem and they can only be better after this season. I have not lost hope in Potter. I know Chelsea will have a better team with the kind of transfers they are signing now. It only takes patience and trust to believe the system and have trust till things are better. Meanwhile Chelsea should be very patient with their coach
I'm still believing in Chelsea that they will improve because they are making good effort to see that the team becomes better. As far as they are working it will definitely yield results, it is just a matter of time. |

The match between these two teams might not be an easy match but amongst the two Barcelona is the most favourite to winning the game, except for some surprises that comes with football.
United is also not a weak team at the moment. they've been trying to get better after Ronaldo's departure. although in terms of satisfaction maybe Ten Hag is not so satisfied with his current squad at United. he is still looking for a reliable striker to put in the opponent's defense. until now United has not got it. and the match against Barcelona, maybe it won't be easy. and matches like this are precisely what will be very difficult to predict. both can win the fight. I also still doubt whether Barca will be more dominant. The both team is fit to win the match, any one of them can come out as a winner. Sometimes when I compare the both team I find it difficult to predict which of this team will emerge as the winning. Manchester United and Barcelona are doing well, Manchester coach is trying to make the team stronger than the way it is. |

they've already spent quite a bit of money on it. and they should have been prepared to raise their game to a better level.
meeting with Dortmund is getting closer. and if they don't finish what they want to achieve soon, it looks like this season they don't have any targets. and maybe next season we will see him play better, maybe also with a new coach.
I don't know if Chelsea actually have a plan with the amount of signings they're making. I cant even keep up with the amount of players they've singed since the new management took over. I hope they are not just trying to please the fans with these signing because some of the players are not necessary. They have signed about 14 players and none of them is a natural top 9. Another problem is all these players might need a little time to adjust and understand each other both in and off the field. I don't see them achieving anything this season. They might win Dortmund in the UCL because Dortmund are not in a really good form too but Chelsea would be lucky to make it to the Semis. I think Chelsea has plans for all their recent signings. They’ve already got some great and amazing players and actually don’t need all the recent additions to the squad. But the manager and the management obviously aren’t in the mood to spend money on players that would be useless to the club. They’ve certainly got some plans for all their recent signings and are perhaps building a new squad that would actually deliver on the need to score goals and win games. They could win Dortmund but Who knows? In football, anything is possible It is good for Chelsea to have new signing which they believe their new players will transform the performance of the team. I'll be waiting to see the outcome of this new players if it will change for good. But if things continue to remain the same that means Potter is incompetent to be Chelsea's coach. |

Bayern already had a period when they could not win a single game in the Bundesliga for a long time, but at the same time they won 6 out of 6 games in the Champions League. Now things are easier for Bayern as they haven't even lost their place (like during that series). I hope Bayern continue to win the Champions League and knock out PSG  but I don't mind if they lose some more points in the process to make the Bundesliga more interesting. Bayern Munich may share their focus on one league because if they focus on all the existing leagues then Bayern Munich will not be able to because the Bayern Munich players may find it difficult because their physical condition may weaken because they have too many matches to participate in and it is impossible to always win. It seems Bayern Munich losing focus that is why their performance is not coming out best in their games. I feel what Bayern Munich is fighting for is to win the Champions League , this is their main target. Bayern Munich has always been winning the Bundesliga, maybe they just need something new. |

I also agree with this view. Also, Cristiano Ronaldo has just gone to SPL. We have to give him some time to get used to the league, this country and this country's climate. Just a few months ago, he was playing football at the top level in the English Premier League. Of course, he will also show his skills in SPL and win matches for Al Nassr. I don't doubt Cristiano Ronaldo. I just don't think we should be hasty.
If I read the stats of him in the official An Nassr match he has already played twice not even made a goal he also disappointed many An Nassr supporters for failing to make the Arab Super Cup Final. Actually, I didn't find any major changes, he was still the same playing time at United. He can't make good use of his strengths and maybe he reckons playing in Arabia will be easier. But the reality is that until now he has not been able to make a goal. If this happened, he should have been aware that the golden age was up. Moreover this is proof that Ronaldo has started to run out and is just selfish which makes him feel still capable of competing even in Europe. I watch the previous game of Al Nassr Ronaldo performance in that very game was not impressive he was facing a great challenge in running, let watch and see if things will later turn better for him, maybe he hasn't get used to the team too. |

In the Italian League Lazio vs Fiorentina these two teams fought very hard. In this match Lazio scored 1 goal in the first 8 minutes of the game. This goal was scored by N. Casale of Lazio team. Several players of Lazio team played well but this match will be a draw. I didn't think that. Fiorentina will draw this match. Maybe no one realized that it is really unbelievable. Fiorentina drew this match. Lazio is much ahead of Fiorentina team, so I thought that Lazio will win this match.
Football is unpredictable and it is full of surprises no one would ever think of Fiorentina playing a tough game against Lazio. The result of the is advantage to inter to still maintain their position. Fiorentina performance was very impressive and unexpected. |

An equalizer by Reims at the Parc des Princes denies PSG a victory. Despite having all three stars, this PSG team looks like medicare. At the moment, PSG is struggling. When did they last win a big one? Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe played together to secure a draw against Reims. For PSG, Neymar scored, and for Reims, Balogun scored.
Lately PSG finds it hard to win their games , it mostly end with a draw which is really affecting their points and it is favourable for Lens to get a point that is close to that of PSG. I don't still believe if their is any team that can take the place of PSG. |

In the last meeting between these two clubs, Crsytal Palace escaped being beaten by Manchester United. This time around they may not escape it. Even though Crystal Palace will put up a good fight as usual. But Manchester United will be more resilient and formidable in the midfield against Palace.
But in England nothing is too sure, however the Erik Ten Hag guys are on a good form.
In the next match, when Crystal Palace meets Manchester United again in February, I'm sure it will be a very exciting match because both of them will definitely play with all their might to win, Manchester United currently has strengths that are not easy to beat by Crystal Palace. Manchester United's performance is now better than it was at the start of the season. But are they strong enough? Manchester United shared the points against Crystal Palace. I would say they did not perform well enough to win this match. And if such a performance, Manchester United will not be able to win against Lord Crystal Palace in the next match. They need to improve their performance. Especially I would say it is important to bring changes in their match strategy. The last time Manchester United played against Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace were lucky defeat from Manchester United but this time I doubt if it will be still possible for Crystal Palace to scale through from Manchester United. Manchester United are tasty for points , it's difficult for them to lose to opponent. |

Arsenal have started to spend quite a lot of money recently. After increasing their potential in the Premier League they want to play as big as possible.
Arsenal have offered 70 million pounds for Moises Caicedo while Brighton are insistent on 80 million. I expect them to reach an agreement in the middle. Actually Arsenal were said to have a less transfer budget than the amount they offered but it looks like the case is the opposite. Arsenal are doing their best not to secure only the Champions League but also the Premier League title. They have done a very good job about that so far.
I think if Arsenal keep insisting sooner or later a deal will happen and indeed this time it seems they are still obsessed with Brighton players considering that they also managed to bring in Trossard. However, the performance of Brighton's players has been good enough so far that it would not be too wrong to even dare to pay such a high price. Moses is a good player that will be very profitable for arsenal if eventually arsenal signs him. I believe the will definitely be completed since what arsenal have to pay is close to the price of what Brighton wants to give him out for. |

What Real Madrid did in the current match was very bad.
Another failure for Madrid now and with this Barcelona is even more difficult to reach because their gap is getting bigger now. Real Madrid players were unable to score although having a good squad there.. Sociedad made a favour for Barcelona so they were able to increase the gap to 5 points between them and Real Madrid. Hopefully Real Betis could take 2-3 points out from Barcelona in the missed game and Real Madrid to win vs Valencia, otherwise the gap will be problematic! From the performance of Real Sociedad this season I know that the match won't be easy for Real Madrid . Real Sociedad being in the third position will make its best to take up the second position. The competition has become tough for Real Madrid because they now have challengers which is Barcelona and Real Sociedad. |

Both PSG and Bayern Munich are big teams in their respective leagues, and they both are at the top of the standings for the time being, so it's hard to predict which of them will be the winner. If we see PSG with all their glamour, I think they will be favorites in the first leg (moreover they will be playing at home). However, the effectiveness of the Bayern Munich players cannot be underestimated either because they are a good team after all and they have the capability to beat PSG.
Form at which Bayern Munich is right now it seems it will be hard for them to challenge PSG. Previous matches of Bayern Munich it can be seen that Bayern Munich is not in a better form and this will be a chance for PSG to acquire victory if they meet to win Bayern Munich. |

Previously I hoped that Eintracht Frankfurt could make a surprise by beating Bayern Munich, because I think the trend they have at the moment can get that result. But yes, the final result of this match has been obtained and Eintracht Frankfurt can only end the match with a final score of 1-1, and of course they split the points with that result.
But in reality, Bayern Munich really dominated the game and should have won three points. But unfortunately, Eintracht Frankfurt was still able to score an equalizer until in the end they couldn't score another goal until the match ended.
Even though it wasn't a loss for Bayern Munich, it's still a bad result for Bayern Munich because they got a draw in their first 3 matches after this break. I don't know what they faced during the break so they came back with unsatisfactory performance and results. 3 draws in 3 matches is not a good result for Bayern Munich, it is a drop that also gives other teams the opportunity to be closer to them in the Bundesliga standings. The result is not good for Bayern Munich if really they want to win the league this season. Bayern Munich weak performance is getting too serious. This was the problem they were passing through when the season began, but they were still able to improve and now still the same challenge again. Let's see of Bayern Munich will try to handle the present problem. |

 Source: https://theathletic.com/4131671/2023/01/27/gabriel-martinelli-new-contract-arsenal/There is the latest news that Gabriel Martinelli has signed a new 4.5 year contract extension with Arsenal. In the previous terms, Gabriel Martinelli's contract was valid until 2024 and it seems that Arsenal want to secure one of their key players so that his contract will last until 2027. Surely this is a breath of fresh air for the Gunners to see Martinelli continue to be at the Emirates Stadium. This is a fantastic deal for him, and he made the correct decision by agreeing to sign an extension for another 4.5 years. He is a fantastic player, and the club desperately needs him to stay for a longer period of time. I believe he has a better chance of staying at Arsenal now that he has improved under Arteta. He is well-liked at Arsenal but, in my opinion, underappreciated in the Brazilian team. It is a nice decision he made to extend his contract with arsenal, I'm sure that he extended because he is proud of his club performance , he needs to be involve in the archiving the winner of the premier league. |

Starting in February the opening match of Chelsea vs Fulham, with the composition of the players that have been formed which is now owned by Chelsea, there should be no more reasons not to be able to win the game. Besides not having time to relax, Chelsea must immediately step on the gas with a maximum score. Even if it is really promising. It's just that here I won't really believe 100% for the performance of the new players bought, so it depends on how Potter handles his career. It is also a gamble for Potter whether or not to continue at Chelsea.
Placing a bet on this will be so risky because Potter will be test running his new teams and there is no guarantee. Fulham in the first meeting won and Chelsea won't want a repetition of this. Chelsea just need to win this to get back on form before the second half goes far. Chelsea winning against Fulham is not about having new talented players because their have always been a good player in Chelsea. What matters for Chelsea to win the game is how Potter Chelsea's coach will be able to manage the players they have. |

Manchester united will play their best football pattern in other to win Barca who has being winning Manchester united in Camp Nuo,this match for will be a difficult one for Barca since this is a new squad formed by ETH. I just hope that ETH will make the right decisions and changes in that day. Barca are well to do and have a good opportunity over Manchester united because they are playing at home. Rashford has picked great form as he do score in all the matches he plays recently and I hope he will score on that day.
I know for sure Manchester united will put in much strength to defeat Barcelona . The way ten Hag is building the team it is becoming so difficult for big teams to succeed in winning Manchester united. |
