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.

Wolves VS Brighton

Previously Brighton managed to bend Luton Town with a landslide score and this time it will be another proof match for Brighton to continue to consistently win in every game. But this time they will be guests at Wolves headquarters and it looks like this match will not be so easy for Brighton to win either. If we look at the last 5 matches against the two of them, it is clear that Brighton is quite superior with 3 wins and Wolves with 2 wins.

Even so, Roberto De Zerbi's squad cannot be underestimated since last season and they continue to improve the depth of their squad so they can compete more closely in the top 4 of the standings. The odds offered by the bookie are also quite convincing with @1.81 for Brighton and Wolves getting @4.10, so of course I will bet on Brighton's win because they are definitely favored to win.

It is true that in important matches such as the semifinals or the Champions League final last season, Erling Haaland seemed to disappear on the field and his role as the pillar of the team at that time was immediately replaced by other Manchester City players who had freer opportunities to score goals. I don't think it's a problem as long as the team can use every player available and actually I'm quite annoyed because Pep Guardiola very rarely changes his players in the second half. So when they should have had the opportunity to score goals through supersub players, they still relied on the players who were there from the early minutes.

Indeed, no one expected a result like this to be obtained by Al-Nassr, especially when they lost at home to Al-Taawoun. I think Al-Nassr has to really prioritize winning for the team and for Ronaldo I hope he will lower his ambitions a bit so that the team can be better. I understand if Ronaldo doesn't get Al-Nassr to win every game then it will be fodder for the media to criticize him and that's what sometimes gets the team bogged down when they need real wins rather than just the ambition of one person at the club. Even the previous defeat against Al-Ettifaq is now in the spotlight because of Ronaldo's failure, even though Ronaldo was absent in that match. Al-Nassr must win in the next game and as one of the big teams in the Saudi league they cannot sink any longer at the bottom of the standings.

I also heard about this rumor and it surprised me quite a bit by the news that Varane was linked with the saudi league. I think this is just a media trick to continue to enliven the big transfers of European players carried out by the Saudi league. We know that there is no doubt for Varane to remain at Manchester United, especially since joining in the 21/22 season until now he feels that he still has not achieved the title he wants with Manchester United. Raphael Varane has won 4 Champions League trophies with Real Madrid and his goal in joining Manchester United is of course to bring this club back to winning ways and for now I think that in the future Varane will continue to try to survive until what he wants is achieved.

Empoli against Verona will also be one of the opening matches of Serie A tonight and as the host Empoli is definitely targeting 3 full points in this match. In H2H these two teams share numbers more often and rarely win matches, but of course there will always be surprises in opening matches like. I think Empoli will have enough control over the match and they need to get ahead first if they want to secure a definite win.

Seeing that last season Verona had to fight hard to save themselves from the relegation zone, they must do the same in this match so that they don't fall again like last season. Any additional points on an away game like this are very important for Verona, even if they have enough difficulties to win, they should at least aim for a draw again.

I don't think it's a matter of whether the club won the treble winner last season or not, but considering that their performance is almost at the same level in the local competition, it is quite certain which will be the winner in this match is very difficult to predict. Manchester City's weakness at the moment is KDB's absence due to injury and it's clear how they have trouble launching attacks from midfield.

If you talk about Pep Guardiola having tactics and ways to win this match, then Eddie Howie also has the same thing to win. So I think instead of the score ending in a narrow win for Manchester City, it's likely the score will end in a 2-2 draw. However, Manchester City's weaknesses can be put to good use by the current integrity of the Newcastle squad, so I think Manchester City must be careful, being the host will not always be favored in a situation like this.

The quality of players worth 100 million euros is not nonsense and it has been proven that Harry Kane was able to adapt quickly with Bayern Munich to score goals and assists on his debut with the Bavarian squad. Bayern Munich's big win against Werder Bremen with a score of 0-4 put Bayern Munich at the top of the standings. I am very happy that finally Harry Kane has found a new home ready to give him his first title as a professional footballer and at a very mature age he is even more dangerous in front of the opponent's goal. I'm very curious how many goals he scored this season, considering that in the previous few seasons he was always the top scorer in the EPL.

Talking about Harry Maguire's salary, it really feels like a burden on the club with this very poor performance. Manchester united should have to sell him now and if not they will continue to suffer losses as long as the contract is still there. But the selfish problem that Harry Maguire has also cannot make the club do as they please and I think Manchester United must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Fans of the Red Devils must be very happy if the former captain and trouble maker in defense leaves this season, otherwise they will continue to get sick of being shown his silliness on the pitch. As one of Europe's big teams, Manchester United must be firm and not exaggerate statements that shouldn't exist. Erik ten hag, as the person in charge on the field, must determine his disciplinary attitude towards Harry Maguire.

But I'm quite worried that Valencia always wins games with this kind of luck. The previous match was against Sevilla, they benefited because one of the Sevilla players got a red card and after that Valencia managed to take advantage of the advantage in the number of players to score 1 more goal which made the first win.

Whereas last night against Las Palmas, they were actually powerless and even Las Palmas dominated the match. But Valencia got lucky again through a goal from the white point scored by Pepelu. I think if Valencia doesn't improve soon to optimize everything, then they will have a very difficult time maintaining the top position at the moment.

We can conclude that actually Erik ten Hag is protecting the former Manchester United captain from ridicule from fans or the public. So it's no wonder he always makes statements that Maguire is an important part of Manchester United, but actually it's all just fake. I think for now that's all Erik ten hag can do, moreover Maguire is an Englishman so he doesn't want to make a problem where he is going through his career as a coach.

About selling Harry Maguire, I think the club has tried everything but if Harry Maguire still insists on staying at Manchester United then Erik ten Hag can't do anything either. In fact, if Harry Maguire left now it would add to the vacant player place at Manchester United and this opportunity could be put to good use by bringing in new players.

That's right, I've also added the Valencia vs Las Palmas match along with matches from other leagues and as you can see I also took the handicap (-0.75) with odds @1.69 for Valencia to win. I don't have the slightest doubt because this is a home match that they will definitely win. But Las Palmas is actually pretty good after last week's draw with Mallorca. But even if Valencia later struggles to win more than 2 goals, chances are the score will end in a narrow victory and I can still make money with a half win.

Chelsea have continued to bring in young players to rebuild their squad for the season and this time they introduced Romeo Lavia who was signed from Southampton. The transfer fee for this young player is around 58 million pounds and will be contracted for 7 years. Obviously this is a good step for the Blues to continue to regenerate the depth of their squad with other young players. As we know, initially Romeo Lavia was Liverpool's target, but Chelsea came with a bigger offer, which made Southampton and Romeo Lavia choose Chelsea. Now that Chelsea's midfield has Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia this will be a big stage for the three of them to fully contribute to the club.

Indeed, only Sven Ulreich is left for the goalkeeper position at Bayern Munich and it is not surprising that they are currently so intensive in recruiting a new goalkeeper as the main goalkeeper this season. It seems we can only hope for Tuchel to be able to improve their defense because this job is not easy even though they are a big team and the slightest mistake can be put to good use by the opponent. My only hope is that Bayern Munich can score more than 2 goals in this match so that they can beat Werder Bremen's players so they are not motivated to catch up. Surely the debut goal from Harry Kane is worth waiting for in this fight.

Although Panathinaikos surprised in the previous qualifying round by eliminating Marseille, this time there is a tendency they will not succeed in doing the same thing twice. It must be realized that their next opponent is SC Braga which is a regular team in the champion league from Portugal and often SC Braga is at almost the same level as Porto or Sporting.

There is no doubt that SC Braga will win this time and if I place a bet on this match, it is clear that I will bet on SC Braga's victory. Apart from that, it's a different story if Panathinaikos manages to hold SC Braga's series and takes them to the penalty shootout as before. Most likely Panathinaikos will qualify in this way, but if we talk about 90 minutes of normal time, I think their hopes are very slim.

Al-Nassr's previous match looked underwhelming and the absence of Ronaldo in the previous match also proved his role is still very important in the squad. I had thought Al-Nassr already had Mane and that at least could still bring Al-Nassr to victory but it seems that's not enough for now.

Ronaldo's return to strengthen Al-Nassr in the match against Al-Taawoun can later make the Al-Nassr squad more confident to win the match. Moreover, this is a home match, so at least Al-Nassr must not embarrass himself in front of his supporters. I can't wait for the goals that Ronaldo will score again, after previously he recorded a brace in the final of the Arab Club Champion.

Some time ago, Manchester City were quite interested in signing West Ham's midfielder, Lucas Paqueta, and they have also made a very large offer for this transfer. But now regarding the clarity of this transfer, it is on the verge of collapse and it seems that the two teams can no longer continue regarding the transfer of Lucas Paqueta. It is still not clear what caused this transfer to fail and Fabrizio Romano is providing only such details at the moment.

Even if I'm not mistaken, Manchester City made an offer of 50 million euros more for Lucas Paqueta and even if West Ham were unsure about the offer they could raise it a little more. Apart from all that, I don't think Manchester City need to be confused about looking for a new midfielder and they can do it at any time while the transfer market hasn't closed.

An equally exciting match is also presented today, Valencia against the La Liga promotion team this season, namely Las Palmas. As the host, it is clear that Valencia is very favored and with the previous win last week against Sevilla, Valencia has made Valencia even more confident about the results of victory in this match later. The last meeting between the two took place 5 years ago and at that time Valencia had to recognize the superiority of Las Palmas as the host. But the difference now clearly feels very much different and looking at the odds offered by the bookie, Valencia gets odds @1.58 and Las Palmas gets huge odds @6.20. So it's pretty clear Valencia is the favorite to win in this game and I will bet on Valencia to win.

What I'm worried about in this game is that Bayern Munich will concede many more goals and that's because they don't have a replacement goalkeeper yet Yann Sommer who has joined Inter. Maybe for the victory it is clear that it belongs to Bayern Munich regardless of the situation, but when Bayern Munich doesn't have a good goalkeeper then it can be an opportunity for Werder Bremen to score goals more easily like what Leipzig did last week in the DFL Cup final. Now Bayern Munich's hope is in their defense and if it can be penetrated then it is very likely that Bayern Munich will lose too.
