Al-Nassr has again moved to secure additional European football for his squad this season and they have reached a verbal agreement to sign Otavio from Porto. It seems that Al-Nassr also feels the lack of squad depth compared to other Saudi league sides and they will trigger a €60 million fee clause for Otavio.

In addition, it seems that Otavio at such a mature age will no longer have any interest in European competition if he chooses to join Al-Nassr and it is certain that he will follow in the footsteps of the captain in his Portugal national team, namely Cristiano Ronaldo. It seems that in the near future if everything goes as planned, we will see Otavio don the Al-Nassr jersey.

I still can't stop thinking how it is possible for Lyon to suffer a crushing defeat at home to Montpellier with a score of 1-4. Even though statistically Lyon are so dominating and Montpellier seems to often let go when they enter Lyon's defense area, this is evidenced by a total of 8 shots on target. I think Lyon's defense is really bad and the goalkeeper can't do much even though he managed to make 4 saves. Lately, Lyon has experienced a decline in performance, they should be able to win against a team whose quality is quite far below them, but Lyon has been unable to overcome this. Last week they also lost against Strasbourg and Lyon should have been able to win in that match but they had to accept the harsh reality of the current defeat.

Everton was unable to deal with so many attacks from the host Aston Villa and had to be willing to swallow a crushing defeat with a score of 4-0 without reply. In the last week, both of these teams suffered the same defeat when facing their opponents, but in this meeting, Aston Villa did not want to lose the opportunity to win in front of the support of their fans. It seems that Unai Emery continues to improve the performance of his players after last season also appeared so extraordinary. This defeat left Everton in the temporary relegation zone and they must get 3 points in the next game if they don't want to experience the same season as before.

But unfortunately I have allocated funds for weekly bets and it is only about $10 only. I know if I was braver I would get a very sweet result but I only have that funds left and I have lost in other multibet matches before.

Anyway, regarding Almeria's match against Real Madrid, it was quite surprising because Real Madrid had to concede first and the one who scored the goal against Andrey Lunin was former Real Madrid player, Sergio Arribas, who just joined Almeria this summer. After scoring his debut goal with Almeria, we see Arribas celebrating his respect for his former club. Bellingham was again named Man of the match and the cost of more than 100 million euros feels so cheap when compared to his contribution so far with Real Madrid. Even without a pure striker, Real Madrid could still use Bellingham as a false nine or box to box midfielder and it worked out as Ancelotti expected. But it's true that without a pure striker when dealing with other strong teams like Barcelona or Atletico it will be a problem for Real Madrid if they continue to rely on Bellingham.

Indeed, Inter did not really depend on Lukaku, but when his loan period ended, why did Inter want to make him permanent from Chelsea? Isn't it obvious that Inter will need Lukaku at some point? But indeed all that is in the past and Inter are still moving forward without Lukaku starting this season. I think Lautaro Martinez alone is enough as a lone striker for Inter but considering the strategy that Inzaghi wants to always use two strikers, they should at least have another striker as a partner for Lautaro Martinez. Even if this isn't Inter's best performance yet, they will continue to work on improving their performance and also this victory is good enough in any way.

I didn't expect this match to end so dramatically and Athens' win with an aggregate advantage of 4-3 should knock Dinamo Zagreb out. Even though yesterday I was also looking at the results of other league matches and accidentally saw Dinamo Zagreb's scoreboard which was already 2 goals ahead in the first half. Even though I am not betting on this match but it is possible that Dinamo Zagreb can score again in the second half.

But in fact Dinamo Zagreb was unable to score again and it was Athens who caught up with the two goals and in fact all of their goals were scored in the very long injury time minutes. I think we should still appreciate Dinamo Zagreb because however they managed to put pressure on the hosts in this match and they did their best in qualifying.

It's no wonder that Leipzig lost against host Leverkusen in last night's game because after all Leverkusen has been much better since last season. The win at home made Xabi Alonso and his players very satisfied to be able to give an additional 3 points in front of their arriving fans. On the other hand, is it possible that since leaving Gvardiol who joined Manchester City, Leipzig's defense has become fragile from enemy attacks? Because after all, Leipzig has not yet found a suitable replacement. I hope coach Marco Rose can find an alternative to fill the void left by Gvardiol.

However Fulham may also have to think about the club's finances while competing in the EPL this season and regarding their relegation that season maybe they have learned little by little so that it doesn't happen again in the future. Meanwhile, in terms of players, Mitrovic certainly feels that he will not achieve anything if he stays at Fulham and if there is an offer from a top European club maybe he will choose to join the team rather than having to accept an offer from a Saudi league team. Apart from all that, the decision remained with Fulham and Mitrovic, when both agreed, the transfer also went smoothly.

The bet for both teams to score is very good indeed but this time I will try to bet on a chelsea win and I am pretty sure they can do it. Last week's draw against Liverpool, I think that can be a good parameter to assess the development of the squad under Pochettino's current command. The odds for Chelsea's win are @ 2.09 and indeed those are big odds even though they are the favorite team to win. As hosts West Ham also cannot be underestimated but losing several important players this summer could be their weakness. So I will be very happy if Chelsea can steal 3 points at home to West Ham and continue to update their points tally in the standings.

Just a small bet win with 4 different matches and as a closing match in my multibet results I am very happy with the game shown by Real Madrid. The Los Blancos squad again proved their worth by beating Almeria away with a score of 1-3 and I was brave enough to bet the handicap (-1) for Real Madrid's win. Bellingham's brace and Vini's third goal were very important to me. Two matches and 6 points have been collected so far by Real Madrid and they occupy the top position of the standings. Well, if the Dortmund bet wasn't voided maybe I could have made a total of $11.

I was thinking before Inter's game against Monza that if Inter scored first they would win and it happened. I mean Inter usually struggle to score goals but this early match proved that his development is getting better. When Lautaro Martinez scored the first goal I was sure they would be ahead for so long because Inter have a very good defense, so it is very unlikely that Inter will concede a goal. In the second half Martinez scored his brace to guide Inter to their first win in Serie A this week. Inter proved they no longer need Lukaku because with the current striker options such as Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic they can rotate well as strikers.

Two manchesters got different results in this week's game. As we know, Manchester United had to collapse at home to Spurs after losing 2-0 without reply and Manchester City managed to beat Newcastle at home with a narrow score of 1-0. Two wins for Manchester City in two matches and one win for Manchester United in two matches make the two within 3 points for now. For Erik ten hag, this is clearly a bad result because they always find it difficult to score goals and in the game against Spurs they couldn't do much because Spurs looked more prepared to win this game. Even Lisandro Martinez added to Spurs' advantage through his own goal.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, although Haaland did not score, Julian Alvarez, who temporarily replaced KDB's role, managed to score the only winning goal for Manchester City in this match against Newcastle. I think the competition will continue to heat up and it's still the start of the season, all teams must continue to be consistent and don't lose their chance to win.

PSG got another draw when they played away against Toulouse. From the start PSG really controlled the game but they still seem not used to the new squad they have brought in this season and Luis Enrique seems to have to give his players more evaluation after this game. The only goal from PSG was scored by its star player who came on in the second half, namely Kylian Mbappe, but that advantage did not last until the game ended because 3 minutes before the normal game ended Aboukhal scored the equalizer. This is a pretty bad result for PSG in the two matches they only collected 2 points and in the next game they have to fight Lens which was one of their competitors last season, clearly the test for PSG will get tougher every week.

This is one match that is quite unique how to see Al-Hilal continue to attack but they always fail to finish. In fact, they had to fall behind their opponents, but soon they immediately replied to the goal. Malcom, Savic, and Michael continued to do everything they could to score but they always failed to get in the way of the opposing defence. Al-Feyha's defense also deserves appreciation because they really wanted to put pressure on Al-Hilal not to score a second goal in the game and they managed to do it.

Anyway, I had a funny incident in this match because my friend bet on Al-Hilal to win and he kept screaming when Al-Hilal got a chance but missed.
He took the normal odds bet which was so small that he was very upset because this should be an easy win for Al-Hilal by scoring at least 2 more goals.

For me, who is betting on Liverpool to win with very small odds, this is quite disappointing, how can a team that is highly favored to win with a landslide score actually have to concede first in the early minutes. Even though Liverpool really dominated the game with around 70% ball possession in the first half and they seemed to have difficulty responding to the goal. But finally that hope emerged through a goal scored by Luis Diaz in the 28th minute and made the score equal 1-1. I think the odds will be back to normal now and I just hope Liverpool can win by a big score this time around.

Even though PSG lost several important players in the transfer market this season, at least they have also moved quickly to find replacements for all of these players. I think this is just a matter of adapting to players who have just joined and they have to get used to the strategy given by the coach. If we look at the list of players brought in this match, there is the name Kylian Mbappe, and that means he will start playing in this match, either as a starter or as a reserve player later. Apart from all that, I also hope that PSG can win this time so they can dominate Ligue 1 again.

The Saudi league is back with the arrival of other European players and now it is Aleksander Mitrovic's turn to join Al-Hilal. It looks like the saudi league really wants to become one of the world's top leagues if this keeps happening and what they want will gradually be realized. The transfer fee totals over 50 million euros and Mitrovic will be under contract for 3 years. Now Al-Hilal's squad depth is evenly distributed with the presence of other European players, even though only yesterday they introduced Neymar as their star recruit. We will see a new trio from Al-Hillal namely Neymar, Malcom and Mitrovic for this season.

Since being brought in from Rome last season and playing for Galatasaray for just one season, Niccolo Zaniolo has attracted interest from one of the EPL teams, namely Aston Villa and the full extent of this agreement has been reached since today. However, this agreement is only in loan status with a purchase option at the end of 35 million euros.

It seems Galatasaray doesn't really mind this transfer and for Zaniolo when there is an offer to play in the most competitive league team it will definitely make him very happy. He can add experience and can also know how each team competes in other leagues. I think Zaniolo's arrival is really needed by Aston Villa, considering that coach Unai Emery has started to find the best performance from this team.

Today Real Sociedad will host against Celta Vigo and with the confidence they show in front of the fans, Real Sociedad must be able to secure 3 full points at home this time. Previously, Real Sociedad only drew against Girona and that result kept them stuck in 10th place in the standings. However, this time Real Sociedad's opponent was Celta Vigo which also cannot be taken lightly and from the results of the last 5 meetings between the two, Real Sociedad is indeed superior with 4 wins. It seems that Celta Vigo can't do more this time because they have often lost against Real Sociedad. My prediction is very clear that Real Sociedad will win this game at least 2-0 or 2-1.

Dortmund will start their first match today and they will host the guest Koln in this match. Actually this is a very easy match for Dortmund, moreover their advantage as the host will be another advantage for them. Even the last meeting against Koln last season, Dortmund managed to beat it hard with a score of 6-1. So it's no wonder that in this match Dortmund will be able to score at least 2 to 3 goals.

Seeing that Bayern Munich won last night's match, of course Dortmund cannot be left behind and they must win this match to stick to Bayern Munich in the standings. If you want to bet on Dortmund winning, the bookie gives pretty good odds @1.47 and going through this match it's clear that this is an easy way to make money.
