What a thrilling match it was between Lazio who is in 9th position and Udinese who is in 13th position with 4:4. Number of goals were really high and both teams were on fire which lead to draw. Did not expect a such performance from Udinese yes.
It has been years since we saw a game ending with 4 - 4. Lazio were 2 goals behind by the end of the first half then they got the lead in the last ten minutes before Udinese surprising them with a late goal. Poor Lazio lost 2 points and were forced to stay in the 8th position |

The odds for this match from the bookmakers are absolutely inadequate:
1.49 - 4.8 - 6.3
Betis is above Barcelona in the standings and has slightly better statistics. I think that in this match Barcelona will be under great psychological pressure (as there will be a decisive match against Bayern ahead) and therefore the bet on Betis looks like profitable. I will think about whether to make this bet, most likely I will watch the first minutes of the match and make a decision.
If I have to place a bet in this game I will put it in Barca honestly. They are playing home and they won most of their games in the past vs Betis. Additionally, Barca players are doing fine with Xavi so far, so I think odds aren't that weird although I agree a bit about Betis odds should be somewhere around 3 and not 6 for sure. |

From here, Man Utd boosted up and led the team win with 3:2 Ronaldo scoring 2 goals.
Let's not forget that ManU faced Arsenal which is a good team for sure but not from the best ones in EPL these seasons. Winning 3 - 2 vs them was good but not exciting. I consider them in a test phase under a new management and so far they succeeded the first test. |

For the todays evening game between Union Berlin against RB Leipzig i will expecting a win for Leipzig normaly.
So i place my bet on Leipzig and hopefully we dont see a surprising result again as we have got it last friday.
The amount of failure sensations that Leipzig supporters have must be heavy  3rd successive defeats, 8th place temporarily since they might drop badly by the end of the round. Lots of interesting games are tomorrow and on Sunday but the most important is for sure Dortmund vs Bayern Munich.
Indeed that's the best game. Mainz vs Wolfsburg might be interesting too but the outcomes of the others are clear imo unless surprise. |

Maguire is gonna be back and I expect Ronaldo to start today.
The bolded part is actually the worst thing that I want to see today. Manchester United is doing absolutely okay with him not being on the field and he should never be allowed on the field for the rest of the season. The whole team play like a third rate league team from out of nowhere country whenever he is on the field ( actually both him and Fred, whenever they both play together lol ) De Gea wont be happy today if somehow he is conceded because of Maguire's mistake again lol Today will be a test for both Arsenal and ManU, whether they are awake or not. Arsenal could advance to the 4th place and ManU to the 6th. Odds 2 for ManU and 3.7 for Arsenal but as you mentioned, any stupid mistake from non concentrated defenders could be fatal for ManU.. |

What a performance by Liverpool! Honestly, I wasn't expecting them to win by a big score difference like this.
-snip-
Well I expected this to happen and wasn't surprised to see Liverpool scoring 4 goals honestly. Dunno why I haven't the courage to place a bet in this match. The odds wasn't attractive but I didn't check the goals one  Regarding the current performance and results, if Everton could lose with less than 2 goals it will be an achievement.
I am particularly worried about Leicester performance this season, considering their actual results, it will be hard for them to grab a CL spot. |

Nice must be really lucky that they drew with PSG today. The result would have been much more different considering PSG's very high effort. They dominated both halves and Nice didn't find many goal opportunities also. But still they secured a 0-0 draw somehow. This game proved one thing once more that there is an insane power difference between PSG and even the teams that are very close to them in the league standings. By saying "close", I mean the place in the league standings of course. Otherwise, there is a huge point difference now.  It is actually a good result for both, Nice getting closer from Rennes and not far from OM while PSG kept the same distance from them. Regarding the results of top 5 teams, OM profited the most from this round, jumping to the 2nd place while missing 1 match |

Inter could win against Spezia without any doubt, even the odds are ridiculously high (@15 for Spezia)! Milan match vs Genoa shouldn't be hard too.
Napoli - Sassuolo is harder than the previous two although odds difference are big. I find it a challenging one and a draw is possible. Bologna - Roma odds are quite close and this one could be a tricky match too.
Inter and Milan did it and my worries about the other two games were true this time. Napoli got a draw but they are still leading the table with 1 goal difference while Roma is trying to make the difference between the first top 4 and the others clearer.. As told to you months ago nowadays Mou is an overrated Coach, he did nothing to improve after 2010 and he has been sacked from every team he went.
You mean he will be sacked from Roma soon  |

Real Madrid are being favoured highly of course. Athletic Bilbao are not a team to be underestimated though
Just quoting this part to say that Real Madrid shouldn't be considered favoured a lot when playing vs Bilbao although history and actual results are in favour of Real Madrid. In fact, Bilbao is a team that you can expect everything from it. They got a draw in 8 of its 14 games this season. I wouldn't say they will win vs RM but they could tackle them with a draw.. Real Madrid and Bilbao’s confrontations have always been difficult and complex and are often resolved by a goal difference. Today's victory is no less important than the victory of Seville a few days ago to widen the difference first and to gain more confidence secondly and to continue the distinctive psychological factor that the team gained in the last rounds. My expectations is going to be RM to to get the 3 points whith seeing over 2.5 goals. Real Madrid 1 goal by Benzema in the first half - 0 for Athletic Bilbao. At the end there wasn't a draw and there wasn't many goals either. Both teams were able to score in some occasions, Bilbao missed a header like 2-3 meters away from the goal unfortunately for them and luckily for Real Madrid  |

It should be easy game for the big teams, Milan-Inter-Napoli. Especially for Inter who will play the game at their own home. I am so sure that Inter will get easy three points with this fixture.
Inter could win against Spezia without any doubt, even the odds are ridiculously high (@15 for Spezia)! Milan match vs Genoa shouldn't be hard too. Napoli - Sassuolo is harder than the previous two although odds difference are big. I find it a challenging one and a draw is possible. Bologna - Roma odds are quite close and this one could be a tricky match too. |

I like this "self-proclaimed" thing and "big city club", wonder know what should we call Bayern "big country club" maybe Hertha did a horrible start this season then they improved a bit before returning to its bad results. 2 points in the last 4 matches isn't good at all for a team hovering around the relegation zone. |

I think that Everton - Liverpool is a really tough one. I'm aware of Everton's current performance and results. But when it comes to a Merseyside derby, things can change suddenly. For example, the last four Everton - Liverpool games ended up with a draw. Three of them ended 0-0 and one of them ended 2-2. An interesting game is waiting for us seemingly. But maybe I would give a chance for the Liverpool win in my betslip.
Regarding the current performance and results, if Everton could lose with less than 2 goals it will be an achievement. Odds are 1.39 for Liverpool and 7.8 for Everton and 5.2 for a draw. I am aware of your point of view regarding their history but honestly Liverpool is doing very good this season and they are quite stable. Now for Newcastle, they are doing their best to relegate. Losing vs a direct opponent in the relegation zone is disappointing.. |

Messi deserved the award, congratulations. He had a great year, won Copa America with Argentina. Lewa also congratulated him, big sportsmanship.
Robert Lewandowski won striker of the year, so that's fair enough. I wish they gave 2020 award to him as well instead of cancel it.
Didn't pay attention to this topic but it is kinda late tho.. Honestly I don't see why Messi got this award while performing lately like 50% (or less) of what he used to do in the previous years... Keeping the reward between 2 names is unfair for the others that work hard and make their teams better. Personally I find players from Lewandowski to Benzema performing better than Messi... Anyway, congratulations to him and good luck for the others once Messi retire. |

How true is the news of Ballon d'or been given today ?
I ain't seeing the thread for that.
Who's your pick anyways ?
Lewandoski ?
Messi ?
Jorginho ?
Kante ?
Ballon d'or winner will be announced today, in 5 hours tho? I am not aware of a topic about it but I suppose there is bets about the winner somewhere and Messi seems to be the most favourite. If he win it this time It will be upsetting since winning with Argentina while struggling in Barca and worse in PSG isn't a good sign for the other players that deserves to share that honor with him... Lewandowski is the best one last season. I find Benzema better than Messi since last season... Ballon d'or are simply awarded,by voting from coaches, captains, journalist. Messi is favorite,but its almost boring handing him the award tonight. Lewandoski should take this time around he deserves it,jorghino also won the champions league and Euro's,what else does he needs before he wins the award ?? Messi got it as it was leaked yesterday, so it is the 7th time to win it (613 points). I am pretty much disappointed by this, it doesn't make sense and send horrible messages for all players. He said he is the first player in PSG to lift the Ballon d'or.. 2nd place for Lewandowski (580 points), 3rd Jorginho (460 points) and 4th Benzema (239 points)... |

Even though PSG lost their ligue 1 title last season to Lille, winning the title this season isn't on top of their priority. The management has made it known a couple of times already that their main priority this season is to contest for the Champions League and win it. So yes, if it comes to a point where they've to field young players /second team for ligue 1 games and saving their best players for UCL competitive matches, they would.
Seeing the spending that they did throughout these years and in the last transfer window, we are sure that their main point this season is to lift the CL title for the first time and create the history of PSG in CL. That star means a lot for Al-Khalafi. For Ligue 1, other teams are making their jobs easier by dropping points so easily.. |

In the UCL phase group match for me, there will be a surprise later because who would have thought that what we thought would be knocked out might qualify because in the last play-off it would be decisive for those who lacked points in the runner-up.
I don't know who will qualify but for me this is very interesting considering how tight the UCL is this season.
It's a very heavy burden for me, Barcelona has to fight Munich, who have not lost in the UCL so far, if Xavi manages to beat him then it can be said that Barcelona is on a good track.
Barcelona got a panic attack whenever they hear Bavaria or Bayern. They have a sad history with it. I find the next match interesting since Xavi has to prove that his team is recovering while trying to keep the second place for his team. Odds are way better for Bayern @1.68 vs @4.5 for Barcelona. I think also that Bayern will not allow Barca to dominate them home. |

Yes, I also think that Italy is going to be in the top spot because they have played well and deserve to be in the world cup. And I think I will keep Portugal on the second spot because Portugal is honestly my favorite team among the others to qualify for the world cup.. and I would also really like to see Ronaldo in the world cup.
I think both teams have equal chances of qualifying and to be honest, I want Portugal to qualify a lot more than Italy because I'm big fan of Ronaldo and as like you I really want to see Ronaldo playing in the world cup. Maybe just for the sake of football fans but it is what it is, Portugal has to qualify. This is the potentially last World cup for Cristiano Ronaldo. I prefer to see the teams that will be able to qualify, challenging the others for the World Cup.. So far, Portugal isn't that team while Italy deserves to be there. Portugal power is concentrated in few players, mainly CR7 while Italy has many stars, unluckily many were injured but it has a huge firepower that will allow it to play finals in Qatar. Honestly seeing Italy out of the tournament will be very sad. |

Funny enough Arsenal will get nothing at old Trafford in few days time.
It's a sure win for Manchester United as they look positive after the the Chelsea game.
All I want in that game is for Harry Maguire to be benched.
You will never know, it all depends from each team performance in that day, although ManU playing home and seems to be a little bit more stable than before and bookies backing it up with @2 vs @3.65 Arsenal. This is the most interesting game to be played these 2 days. |

The most important match of La Liga was the match between Sevilla and Madrid. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are vying for the title this season. Vinicius scored in the 87th minute of the match to give Real Madrid the victory. He is an extraordinary player. If he is properly guided, he will become the future Ronaldo of Real Madrid.
again and again he became a savior for real madrid, because before this goal at 80 minutes I had stopped watching the game because I felt a draw would be the final result, but this seems different from what I imagined. he's a pretty good young player this season in 14 real madrid games in la Liga he managed to score 9 goals which is only two goals adrift of Benzema in the top scorer list. I think he will continue to develop very well and one of Brazil's and Madrid's promising assets I said once that Vinicius Jr is a good player but he is a little bit messy (with y and not i) and not well concentrating in front of the goal so whenever he fix this he will become one of the best players at his age. He just needs a good coach to improve his performance. For Benzema, although his age, he is doing quite well and leading his team as a captain and a scorer to lead La Liga table. |
