Girona's defeat against Vilarreal never occurred to me. The reason is, in this match, since the first half, Girona was able to dominate the game and always launched attacks which were very troublesome for Vilareal's defense. Therefore, I predict that Girona will definitely win with a landslide score in this match. But apparently, until the first half was over, not a single Girona player's attack had resulted in a goal. In fact, in the second half it was Girona who conceded, and until the match was over Girona failed to equalize. In my opinion, Girona was very unlucky in this match. The reason is, there were several golden opportunities that almost became goals, but unfortunately they were always thwarted by Vilareal's defenders.

Even though it's heavy, Girona must be able to accept this defeat, and of course must bear the shame of losing at home. Apart from that, the possibility that Girona can finish as runners-up in La Liga this time is a little doubtful. The reason is that this opportunity could not be utilized properly in the match against Vilareal this time. However, Girona still has 2 more matches left in LaLiga, so the opportunity to compete for second place with Barcelona still continues.

The Man City team is great. They're at their best, with depth and talent. When serious, they're unstoppable. They must take this West Ham match seriously. West Ham had some good players and proved challenging. But City should win this game. They have the top players, management, and organisation. A winning combo, guys. Soccer is wild. Anything can happen. West Ham may be lucky, City may lose. Seen it before. It wont be easy. Never at this level. So, my prediction: Match won by City. Too excellent, too strong. It wont be easy. West Ham will fight and play spoiler. The excitement comes from that. It makes soccer the best sport in the world.
Manchester City does have very talented players so it is not surprising that currently Manchester City is back in the top position in the Premier League standings. But even so, the struggle of Guardiola's team is not over, because Manchester City still has one more match left against Westham. In my opinion, Westham is not a strong opponent for Manchester City. Because if you look at Westham's 5 matches in the Premier League, the results were only able to achieve one win, three defeats and one draw. With this note, it could be said that Westham is performing badly at the moment. Although it is true, sometimes Westham also surprises us, by being able to compete with strong teams. For example, when Westham played against Liverpool, Westham managed to hold Klopp's team to a draw.

However, Manchester City is different from Liverpool, so far Manchester City has consistently won their last 5 matches in the Premier League. So in this last match, I believe Manchester City can definitely beat Westham. Because if you look at the head to head record between Manchester City and Westham, the result is that Manchester City has never lost to Westham in their last 5 meetings. And this match will certainly be very decisive for Manchester City, because even though Manchester City is currently at the top of the standings. However, Manchester City is only 1 point ahead of Arsenal who are in 2nd place. So, if for example Manchester City cannot win the match against Westham, there is a big possibility that Arsenal can shift their position. And of course Manchester City will fail to win the Premier League this season. Therefore, in the match against Westham, Manchester City players will definitely give their maximum performance to achieve victory. So, I also predict that Manchester City can definitely win this match and become champions again in the English league.

Real Madrid will use experience to win Dortmund on the finals, because they are more experienced in the league than Dortmund and they have faced a lot of challenges on the finals which they overcome. That is why I will placemy bet on them. Assuming is the semifinals, I might doubt them but the finals is no doubt because they can do it again.

Dortmund on the other hand, is not that used to playing the finals which will make it somehow strange to them, but that doesn't mean that they will be filled with anxiety. A good club will have no fear on a game like this, and Dortmund stands the chance of winning the champions league again.
We all know the percentage of Dortmund winning against Madrid is low firstly because i don’t think there is any defender in Dortmund that is capable of marking out Vinicius. This stage of the competition is very crucial and with  what Real Madrid have achieved in the competition it will be difficult to lose to Dortmund at this stage. Dortmund is quite good and have tried so hard to reach the finals but Real Madrid are more experienced in the competition and to even compare the form of both teams Real Madrid are in better form.

It would be an interesting match no doubt and Dortmund will give it their all but i don’t think it will be able to over power Madrid’s squad but there is no harm in trying. If Madrid should show any sign of weakness then they risk losing the game.
When talking about experience in the UCL, it is clear that Real Madrid is more experienced than Dortmund. By winning 14 trophies, Real Madrid's experience in the UCL cannot be doubted. So it is not surprising that in the UCL final this time many people are betting that Real Madrid will be the champions. The reason is with players who have above average abilities such as Vinicius and Bellingham. Coupled with senior players such as Modric, Kroos and Carvajal, Real Madrid has excellent performance on the field. However, this also cannot be a benchmark that Real Madrid can win easily over Dortmund. The reason is that Dortmund is also filled with players who have high experience and discipline. So Real Madrid also cannot underestimate Dortmund, because it is possible that in the final match Dortmund will provide an unexpected surprise. Because at first I didn't expect Dortmund to be Real Madrid's opponent in the final. Because even in the semifinals I actually thought Dortmund would lose to PSG. Because if you look at the depth of the squad, PSG is stronger. However, in fact, in the semifinals, Dortmund really gave us all a surprise, by beating PSG both away and at home. What was even more surprising was that in the semifinal match, PSG was unable to score a single goal against Dortmund. So this gives us a little idea that Dortmund also has a performance that is convincing enough to be able to compete with Real Madrid in the upcoming final match.

The performance of Al Hila has been amazing so far in Al Hilal and that's enough for this team to try to keep some players in the team and the best thing they can do is to just try to save the good form of the team for the next season which cannot be easy for them.
But they started it with their coach, Jorge Jesus. Since this coach had a perfect performance, they want to extend his contract. However, Jorge Jesus also wants to stay in Al Hilal for a longer time.
His contract will end at the end of this season.


Under the tutelage of Jorge Jesus, Al Hilal really shined in the Saudi Arabian League and in the Asian Champions League. It has been proven that this season Al Hilal has succeeded in winning several trophies in local competitions and is certain to be the champion of the Saudi Arabian League this season. Even though Al Hilal's journey in the Asian Champions League did not reach the final, because they lost on aggregate in the semifinals, this is a pretty good result in my opinion. So retaining Jorge Jesus in the coaching chair is a quick step that Al Hilal management must take. Because the progress that Jorge Jesus has proven at Al Hilal is really real and very good.

Apart from that, if you look at the current performance of the Al Hilal players, if you look at it as a whole, I think everything is very good. So retaining existing players is certainly the right choice for Al Hilal. Maybe what Al Hilal needs to improve a little next season is its midfield. Because if Al Hilal's midfield can channel its attacks more optimally, I think Al Hilal will be able to become the number one team in Asia. Because in my opinion Al Hilal only has a weakness in the midfield, and the other lines (front, wing and back) are very good. Moreover, next season it is likely that Neymar will have recovered from his injury and will certainly be able to further strengthen Al Hilal. So next season Al Hilal will definitely be much stronger than this season.

I really regret the fate of Juventus this season. I don't know what happened to this team, even though at the start of the season Juventus appeared very consistent and always won every match. However, since the middle of the season until now, Juventus' performance has continued to decline very significantly. Even if you look at Juventus' last 5 matches in Serie A, the result is that not a single match was won, all matches ended in a draw. Even in the last match against Salernitana, Juventus was also unable to win the match. Even though Salernitana is the team that is in the bottom position of Serie A (ranked 20th) and its performance is also quite bad this season. But strangely, Juventus had to be held to a draw by a team like Salernitana.

And with Juventus' poor record in recent weeks, Allegri's team had to drop to 4th place in the Serie A standings. Then the 3rd position previously occupied by Juventus is now occupied by Bologna. Apart from that, if for example Juventus does not improve the performance of its players, then the possibility of Juventus dropping to 5th place in Serie A is very large. The reason is that in 5th place there is Atalanta which is only 4 points behind Juventus.

And next week Juventus is scheduled to face Bologna. This match could provide an opportunity for Juventus to move back up to 3rd place in Serie A. However, of course Bologna is not a weak opponent, because this season Bologna has managed to become the black sheep in Serie A. Therefore, I think Juventus will have difficulty winning the match against Bologna next week.

What surprise, Barcelona won over Real Sociedad with score of 2 - 0 and this victory gave Barcelona second place in the standings after saving the full 3 points and surpassing Girona points tally by 1 point.
Lamine Yamal, young Barcelona player, created the first goals for Barcelona advantage and he was the highlight of this match, in the second half when added time there was also handball for Real Sociedad player and gave Barcelona penalty which turned into goals.
These 2 goals allowed Barcelona to get the full 3 points, I think Barcelona will have difficulty in this match because Real Sociedad is also not weak team, but it turns out they managed to achieve victory.

3 matches remain for this season and we will see Barcelona competition in maintaining second place with Girona who is only 1 point behind, if Barcelona can finish the 3 matches with an overall win then they will be runners-up.
In my opinion, it is not too surprising if Barcelona was able to win against Sociedad in this match, because if you look at the players' performance and head to head, the result is that Barcelona is far superior to Sociedad. So, if for example Barcelona's performance is in very fit condition, Barcelona can definitely score more than 2 goals in this match. But even so, I am very happy that Barcelona can return to second place in Laliga for a while. The reason is that with a very narrow point difference with Girona, the possibility of Barcelona returning to 3rd place is very large. So basically Barcelona is currently not at a safe point in second place in La Liga. Because tonight Girona is scheduled to face Vilareal, and if for example Girona wins this match, Barcelona's position will definitely be shifted back to 3rd place. And my prediction is that Girona can definitely win tonight's match. The reason is that if you look at the last meeting between Girona and Vilareal, the result was won by Girona. So in this match I am very confident that Girona will definitely be able to win again and climb back to 2nd place in the LaLiga standings.

Aston Villa taking a draw is not bad for some other teams. For example, we know Totenhlam recently couldn't have a good performance and they lost some points during this season in the last games they had. Now Aston Villa is the main competitor for Tohantam to get the Champions League ticket for the next season and this cannot be easy for them.
I guess now and after this draw from Aston Villa, Tottenham will still have hope because there is only five points difference between these two teams.
Being able to draw with Liverpool is indeed quite a satisfying result for Aston Villa, because after all Liverpool is not a weak team. So with this draw, Aston Villa is still firmly in 4th place in the Premier League standings. Apart from that, currently Tottenham is Aston Villa's tough competitor for Champions League tickets. However, with the difference in points that Tottenham currently has, I think it will be very difficult to get rid of Aston Villa from 4th place. The reason is that currently Tottenham is 5 points behind Aston Villa and only has 2 more matches left so it feels a bit impossible to catch up on the points. Maybe if Tottenham can wipe out the remaining 2 matches with a win, there is definitely hope of getting rid of Aston Villa. However, I don't think Tottenham will be able to do that, because the 2 teams that Tottenham will face at the end of this season are Manchester City and Sheff Utd. Sheff Utd might be beaten by Tottenham, but if it's Manchester City, I think Tottenham's chances of winning the match are very small.

And today Tottenham will host Manchester City. This match will definitely be very interesting to watch. The reason is that the result of this match will really determine the fate of the two teams. Manchester City is chasing consecutive wins to finish at the top of the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, Tottenham is trying to get a ticket to the Champions League.
48  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: May 13, 2024, 03:14:44 PM
For the past 2 weeks now I have been going to the gym center to do my push-ups and the gym instructor identified two errors in doing push-ups which I will love to share with everyone in this challenge.

1. Hands too far forward:
When your hands are too far forward it causes unwanted stress on other muscles and joints so make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders when starting and finishing your push-up

2. Hips too low:
Is very important to keep your hips level with your shoulders throughout the push-ups. If we don't we will produce extension in our lower back and not using our abdominals to stabilize our body.

~Snip
The things you explain about this are absolutely true, bro. Because I'm sure many people do push ups with the mistakes you mentioned. Because of my personal experience, the first time I did push ups, I also made that mistake. And I can explain why, many people make this mistake when doing push ups.

First, why do people do push ups with their arms too far forward?

This is because people who are doing push ups for the first time or have only been doing push ups for a few days feel heavier pressure when doing push ups in the correct way (hands parallel to shoulders). Therefore, without them realizing it, their hands were shifted forward to reduce the feeling of heaviness. And this is not quite right, because of course the muscles affected by push ups are not the chest muscles, but the triceps or shoulder muscles.

And the second problem, why do some people do push ups with their hips too low or not in line with their shoulders?

This is caused by abdominal muscles that are not yet strong but doing push ups with repetitions that are beyond their ability (too many). That's why when the abdominal muscles are no longer strong, the hips will definitely drop. Therefore, the first time you do push ups, it is best to do it gradually and not do it immediately in large portions. Because of course the push up movement will definitely not be right. So when doing push ups, it's best not to chase a lot of repetitions, but just a few, but with the right movements (especially for those who are beginners).

Bitcoin investment is a long time investment and when going into it you should always have it at the back of your mind.
I'm not saying buying Bitcoin when is low is bad I'm only saying when ever you have the money to invest don't wait for it to come down because in the cause of waiting it may be going higher or in the cause of waiting you may use the money to settle emergency issue.
So there's no perfect time to invest in Bitcoin if you are planning on hodling for long term or if you start accumulation journey.
The first and foremost goal of those of us who invest in Bitcoin is to hold our investment for a long period of time. We all have a tendency to buy bitcoins when we see that the price of bitcoins is high then we wait for bitcoins to be low. Maybe many people think this is the best time to buy Bitcoin. But you mentioned that you don't wait for the price of Bitcoin to fall because it can rise again. If you don't care about Bitcoin price going up and down then you should go for DCA.

If you start investing using the dollar cost averaging method, you don't have to worry about the price of bitcoins going down or up. You can buy bitcoins anytime and save them for investment. So set a fixed average price and hold accordingly by buying bitcoins.
People who focus too much on the rise and fall of Bitcoin prices, perhaps these people are not long-term investors, but medium or short-term investors. So for them, the rise and fall in prices that occur in Bitcoin really determines their profits. In contrast to long-term bitcoin investors, they will definitely not focus too much on observing the market every day or every week. Because long-term investors have goals over a long period of time. So the current increase or decrease in the price of bitcoin does not have much impact on them. So long-term investors in bitcoin, look at the market when they want to buy, or when they just want to know the price development.

And DCA is probably a strategy used by many long-term investors in bitcoin. Because with DCA the accumulation of money in bitcoin becomes regular without having to look at the price of the bitcoin. Apart from that, the DCA strategy is also very useful for bitcoin investors whose income is not too large. So in essence, bitcoin investment uses the DCA strategy, giving hope for anyone to be able to invest according to their abilities.
50  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: May 13, 2024, 02:12:42 PM
Quote from: delfastTions
Pierre Rochard, Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms, one of the most famous Bitcoin mining companies in the world, based in Texas, said on Saturday 04.05.24, that Bitcoin mining will lead to economic development in El Salvador.
I guess many researchers has said this some years to alert El Salvador government about the progress that will enter the land of El Salvador, if they can be able to establish a BTC mining in the country and it will going to change their economy for good in the future, which is what Rochard Pierre just review to the government of El Salvador.
Setting up bitcoin mining in El Salvador is indeed a very good plan. But for now, the El Salvador government must first focus on Bitcoin adoption among its citizens. Because as far as I know, the adoption progress there has not yet reached 30%, as revealed by a survey from one of the universities.

Quote
According to a study from the José Simeón Cañas University of Central America, only 12% of local residents in El Salvador used Bitcoin at least once to pay for goods and services in 2023. This figure is a significant decrease from the previous year, when 24.4% of El Salvador residents involved in Bitcoin transactions.
Source: https://coinvestasi.com/berita/el-salvador-rilis-situs-pemantauan-kepemilikan-bitcoin

So, I think the Bitcoin user benchmark in El Salvador this year will not be much different from last year. Therefore, the plan to establish bitcoin mining in El Salvador might be better as a next plan. When the majority of people in El Salvador already have bitcoin, the establishment of bitcoin mining can be carried out immediately. Although if El Salvador were to set up/regulate bitcoin mining now, it wouldn't actually be a problem. But in essence, the El Salvador government must be consistent with its initial goal (mass adoption of bitcoin in the country). Because bitcoin is legal as a transaction tool there, if the plan is to be successful then bitcoin adoption must be truly evenly distributed.

Quote
There are a lot of opportunities coming our way all the time, but we don’t always have the capital to do it.”
There are some people who will have the opportunity, but they will not use it well to invest in BTC, which we have such people everywhere, but based on the information the Pierre Rochard has made to encourage the government of El Salvador for doing the right thing and to improve in some areas in the land of El Salvador, I guess majority of El Salvador citizen will start using their opportunity well to invest in BTC and hodl for long term.
So far the government in El Salvador has done the right thing in educating the public about Bitcoin. But the problem is, the majority of people in El Salvador who receive education about Bitcoin are students. Meanwhile, we certainly know that a student is definitely not financially stable and of course there are still many who still rely on money from their parents. So the possibility that they can buy bitcoin at this time is definitely not big. Maybe in the next 2-5 years, the number of bitcoin investors in El Salvador is likely to increase. Because students are currently receiving education and receiving guidance about bitcoin, it is certain that in the next few years many will have income or work. And it's likely that many of these students are buying bitcoin.

Therefore, the steps that the El Salvador government must take at this time, do not just focus on the younger generation being given guidance regarding Bitcoin. However, people who are adults or already have jobs must be given guidance about Bitcoin. Maybe if implement this method, the Bitcoin adoption rate in El Salvador will likely increase slightly. Because when people who already have income in El Salvador are interested in Bitcoin, they definitely already have the capital to buy it.
51  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 11, 2024, 07:47:16 AM
Therefore, in my opinion, fourth place in the Premier League this season will most likely go to Aston Villa. Because if you look at the remaining match schedule that Tottenham will play, as said by @Bitcoin Hunt3r it is likely that there are only 2 matches that Tottenham can definitely win. And of course, with these 2 wins, Tottenham will not be able to beat Aston Villa in terms of points, especially if Aston Villa is able to win the match against Crystal Palace.
With latest bad matches and results of Tottenham Hotspur and very few match days left in Premier League, the fourth position can be considered as unreachable for Tottenham in this season. Again they will miss Champions League and it is a very disappointed ending for them in this season.

It is more disapponted because they began this season very well and impressive but fell down too bad in latest weeks of season. With departure of Klopp in Liverpool, Tottenham can compete directly with Liverpool next season for top four. At least they will have one "weaker" competitor in top four competition.
Yes, last season Tottenham failed to get tickets to the Champions League, because their performance was much worse than this season. The reason is, last season Tottenham was only able to finish in 8th place in the Premier League. However, this season there is a big possibility that Tottenham can finish in 5th position. So even though it is not significant, Tottenham's performance this season has improved quite well. Maybe if, for example, Tottenham can maintain their performance better this season, maybe they can get tickets to the Champions League. But that's okay, because by finishing in 5th position, Tottenham can take part in the European League. This is better than not participating in any competition next season.

And for next season, even though Liverpool will no longer be coached by Klopp, it is likely that their performance will not be much different from now. So, if for example Tottenham do not improve their performance, next season Tottenham will definitely still have difficulty competing for the top 4 positions in the Premier League. The reason is, let alone competing with Liverpool, even competing with Aston Villa, Tottenham are having a little difficulty this season. So if you say Liverpool's performance next season will be a little weak, I don't think that's true.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 11, 2024, 03:46:59 AM
Tottenham Hotspur almost over reach top fourth standings after 7 points remaining with Aston Villa, but still has last chance for Tottenham Hotspur because Liverpool seems potential team will stop three points as Aston Villa opponent team next match. Just needed consistency performance and return to winning perform for Tottenham Hotspur next match against Burnley and keep defending the winning trend three days later against Manchester City as postponed games week 34 match.

Aston Villa has the potential to be stopped by Liverpool but Tottenham is also in the same situation when they face Manchester City we know Manchester City will beat any team because of their ambition to secure the title this means that Tottenham has a greater potential to lose points while Aston Villa could have drawn because they were playing at home. Tottenham's only chance to get points is in the other 2 matches, if they can win 2 out of 3 matches then maybe they can still compete.

~Snip
Tottenham indeed has a big opportunity to get closer to 4th place in the Premier League, by taking advantage of Liverpool's match against Aston Villa. The reason is that the possibility of Liverpool winning this match is certainly much greater than losing or drawing. However, the problem is that Tottenham has a 7 point difference with Aston Villa, so just 1 defeat is not enough for Tottenham to catch Aston Villa in terms of points. Apart from that, the opponent that Aston Villa will face after fighting Liverpool is Crystal Palace. If you look at head to head and the recent performance of the two teams, I think Aston Villa is better than Crystal Palace. So Aston Villa can most likely beat Crystal Palace next week.

Therefore, in my opinion, fourth place in the Premier League this season will most likely go to Aston Villa. Because if you look at the remaining match schedule that Tottenham will play, as said by @Bitcoin Hunt3r it is likely that there are only 2 matches that Tottenham can definitely win. And of course, with these 2 wins, Tottenham will not be able to beat Aston Villa in terms of points, especially if Aston Villa is able to win the match against Crystal Palace.

I dont know what to expect on the next year season for this tournament, because seems like they lost some momentum right now b ut you never know after all they have ton of money behind coming from the rotal families or the petrol induestries so they can buy any player they want, but as i said before i dont see them so strong on this  summer market.
This summer, I think they will not spend as much money as last season, because some players signed contracts for big amounts of money without any contribution. The contribution of big money should be greater. If the loss in the profit-loss balance is high, it means that there is a balance adjustment that will not last long. Saudi teams have very high amounts of money, but when the money they spend is very high and the money they earn is very low, they will realize that they have made a mistake and give up this strategy.
The current situation of the Saudi Arabian League does not seem to be going according to plan. The reason is, the Saudi Arabian League competition has become less interesting after Al Hilal went undefeated this season. This makes it seem like the top players brought in by other teams in the SPL have no influence at all. Apart from that, Neymar's injury also had a big impact on the popularity of the Saudi Arabian League (SPL), because Neymar only played a few times for Al Hilal.
As a result, the audience rating also decreased because of this. So with these obstacles, it is likely that there will not be too many sponsors coming to the teams in the Saudi Arabian League.

And next season, if the Saudi Arabian League wants to achieve even greater popularity, of course in the next transfer market it will definitely have to bring in more top players from Europe. Because if this is not done, it is certain that the Saudi Arabian League will lose its rating even more. Even though teams in the Saudi Arabian League have to spend more money, this is a risk that must be taken. Because if stop at this phase, I think slowly the Saudi Arabian League will get into a worse situation than this season.

In the battle for the top position in the Premier League this week 37, Arsenal is still leading with 83 points, followed by Manchester City who is in 2nd place with 82 points, and in 3rd place is Liverpool with 78 points. Currently, Liverpool is certain to be eliminated from the race for top position in the Premier League, because Liverpool is already quite far behind Arsenal and Manchester City in terms of points. So the fierce competition that will occur at the end of this season is Arsenal and Manchester City. The reason is, the difference in points between the two is also very small so changes in the position of the Premier League standings will definitely continue to occur in every match played by Arsenal and Manchester City.
When Liverpool could become one of the title challengers there was hope that this season's league title would not belong to Manchester City, but slowly only Manchester City and Arsenal were left to fight for the title, this is like a repeat of last season but this time Manchester City will face a different Arsenal with last season because the current Arsenal squad looks better at maintaining their appearance by trying not to fail in the few remaining matches, but unfortunately this time their fate is determined by the results of the City match so even though they have become more experienced this season in dealing with pressure but the opportunity to fail is open wide because City still has a postponed match and if they win over Tottenham they will take over the standings until the end of the season.
Yes, from the beginning to the middle of the season, Liverpool was quite consistent in all the matches they played in the Premier League. However, this consistency slowly faded towards the end of this season. Starting from the defeat against Crystal Palace, until several matches ended in draws, Liverpool's position, which had been firmly at the top of the standings, slipped to 3rd place. I also actually didn't expect this to happen to Liverpool, because when Liverpool were able to play consistently, at that time their condition was bad. . The reason is, many of Liverpool's main players are injured. So in my opinion, if for example Liverpool's main player recovers from his injury, then Liverpool will be stronger.
However, it turned out that the results were not like that, Liverpool actually experienced a decline in performance when the main players had recovered from their injuries.

And regarding Arsenal's fate in the race for top position, it is true that the results of all the matches played by Manchester City in the remaining matches this season will be decisive. If, for example, Manchester can sweep all matches, including postponed matches, then there is no need to doubt that Manchester City will definitely be champions this season. However, if for example Manchester City is able to experience 1 defeat in the remaining matches, and Arsenal is able to wipe out all the remaining matches, then Arsenal will definitely become champions. In essence, the competition between Arsenal and Manchester City will certainly really test the mentality of the players of both teams. Because just one defeat will have a very fatal impact on the struggle of both teams.

The reason is that Fulham's performance this season is quite bad, in their last 5 matches in the Premier League, Fulham was only able to pick up 1 win (against West Ham). So my prediction is that Manchester City will definitely win this match quite easily.

And this week Arsenal is scheduled to face Manchester United, perhaps Arsenal should be a little wary of this team made by Ten Hag. The reason is, even though Manchester United's recent performance has been quite bad, it is possible that Arsenal will have a little difficulty in this match. The reason is, Manchester United has sometimes performed quite well this season, but unfortunately their consistency has not been maintained well. So for this match, my prediction is that Arsenal will win narrowly against Manchester United, maybe 1-0 or 2-1.

Don't say Harry Kane is bad luck for Bayern Munich this season after all the failures that befell his team. Bayern Munich has been very inconsistent this season in terms of their performance, in fact their defense is very weak compared to the previous season. Harry Kane has made a maximum contribution to Bayern Munich by recording 44 goals in 44 appearances and 12 assists in Champions League and Bundesliga matches.

If anyone is to blame, then I think Tuchel's defense and strategy are the ones to blame. Kane has proven his quality and productivity as a center forward, while Bayern Munich are very weak in defense. This is the reason why they failed in all competitions and feel disappointed about it, but that is the bitter reality they have to accept this season.
Yes, Bayern Munich's failure in the UCL and Bundesliga cannot be blamed entirely on Hary Kane. Because if you look at his performance at Bayern Munich this season, you could say he is a very productive player compared to other players. So blaming Hary Kane for Bayern Munich's failure in my opinion is a very big mistake. Because we need to remember that a football team consists of 11 players who compete on the field, so the team's failure certainly cannot be blamed on just one player. Therefore, in this case, Hary Kane does not deserve to be fully blamed for the failure that befell Bayern Munich.

Apart from that, Bayern Munich's performance this season is actually not too bad. Whether it's in the UCL or in the Bundesliga. The reason is that in the Bundesliga Bayern Munich managed to become runner up, apart from that in the UCL, Bayern Munich actually almost qualified for the final round. Especially if, for example, in the second leg of the semifinals, the referee's decision regarding Bayern Munich's equalizing goal in the final minutes was not considered offside, I think Bayern Munich could have beaten Real Madrid and qualified for the UCL final.

However, because the referee deemed Bayern Munich's equalizer to be offside, Bayern Munich ultimately failed to advance to the UCL final. And in the end, after the match was over, the referee who led the match realized that the goal was not offside and finally apologized to Bayern Munich.

So from here I can conclude that Bayern Munich has a very good performance. Even Real Madrid had difficulty keeping up with Bayern Munich's game. However, because Bayern's defense was a little less good and the referee was less careful in making decisions, in the end Bayern Munich failed to advance to the final UCL.

Sicne Barcelona is not in a good financial situation I was not expecting to see this but it seems they are about to start hiring players even now when there are some games left for this season.
Guido Rodríguez the 30-year-old player of Real Betis, is currently linked to Barcelona and he is going to play in this team for the next season.
The contract of Guido Rodríguez is going to end at the end of this season and there is no interest from Betis in extending his contract. That's why Guido Rodríguez is very close to signing his contract with Barcelona. There are some rumors about Guido Rodríguez having a two-year contract with Barcelona.


Recruiting Guido Rodriguez is the right first step for Barcelona, ​​because his performance with Betis this season can be said to be quite good. This is because Guido Rodriguez has appeared 22 times with Betis this season and contributed 2 goals. I think this achievement is quite good for a defensive midfielder like Guido Rodriguez. So if, for example, Guido Rodriguez is really recruited by Barcelona, ​​I think he will have a very important role in Barcelona's midfield, because from the news I know, Barcelona's current defensive midfielder, Oreul Romeu, will return to Girona. This means that Barcelona's defensive midfielder position will definitely be empty. So if Guido Rodriguez is successfully brought in by Barcelona, ​​​​he can definitely become Xavi's mainstay as a starter in the Barcelona team and will fill the position left by Oreul Romeu.
And I think a 2 year contract is very feasible for a player like Guido Rodriguez, because he is a player who really has good skills and quality. Because, he has always proven to have an important role in the Argentine national team. So Barcelona must be really serious about approaching Guido Rodriguez so that he can immediately sign a contract.

This week Al-Hilal will try to ensure the league title and it looks like they will be able to do that because their opponent is the Al-Hazm team which has only won 3 times in 30 matches and will be relegated because its points are far behind the team in 15th position in the standings.
In the first meeting this season, Al-Hazm was destroyed at home with nine goals without reply, and because this is an away match for Al-Hazm, bad things like that are very likely to happen again, especially as Al-Hilal is very eager to ensure the title with a big win.
My prediction is that Al-Hilal will score more than three goals without Al-Hazm being able to score a single goal because Al-Hilal is a team whose defense is too solid for Al-Hazm.
Competing against Al Hazm will of course be very easy for Al Hilal, so in my opinion, in this match Al Hilal does not need to field its main players. Because even with the second tier of players, I'm sure Al Hilal can definitely win this match. So Al Hilal should prepare its main players so that their stamina can recover better for next week's match against Al Nasr. Even though the match against Al Hazm will be the deciding match for Al Hilal to become champions of the Saudi Arabian League. However, as I said, Al Hilal's second tier players can definitely beat Al Hazm in this match. So it would be a good idea for Jorge Jesus to give playing minutes to the second tier players, so they can get more playing experience.

And even though this match will be held at Al Hazm's home ground, it will certainly not be able to make Al Hilal's performance falter. So this match will be very good as a test match for Al Hilal to see the potential of its second tier players. And my prediction, if Al Hilal plays using its main players, I think this match will end with a score of 5-0 in favor of Al Hilal. But if, for example, Al Hilal fielded a total of second tier players, I think the score of this match would end at 3-1/3-0.

Atalanta vs Roma could be the big match this week, where both teams are trying to get tickets to the Champions League, but the chance of this match ending in a draw is wide open, or Atalanta winning three points because the home match will give Atalanta an advantage.
Atalanta seems to have had better results in the last few matches than Roma, but we can see that Atalanta is facing a relatively weak team so they can win three times in a row, but Roma failed to beat Atalanta in the first meeting this season so the match at Atalanta's home ground will be even more difficult for Roma to defeat its opponent.
Currently Atalanta and Roma have the same points in Serie A, but due to the greater goal difference, Atalanta is currently ranked higher than Roma. So this match will be very decisive for both teams, to have a greater chance of getting tickets to compete in the UCL. At Atalanta and Roma's first meeting this season, it was true that the match ended in a draw (1-1), at that time Roma was the host. However, at this meeting, Atalanta will be the host, which will certainly be more profitable for Atalanta. So the Roma players will definitely have to fight extra hard in this match, because if they lose or draw in this match, Roma's path to getting a ticket to the UCL will definitely be even more difficult.

However, if you look at the performance of Roma, currently coached by De Rossi, I think Roma will provide different resistance to Atalanta. The reason is, after De Rossi coached Roma, the performance of his players improved very rapidly. Apart from that, when Roma played against Atalanta in the previous meeting, as far as I remember, Roma was still under the guidance of Mourinho. And under Mourinho, Roma's performance was not good so it was natural that they were held to a draw by Atalanta. However, Roma's performance is now much better than at that time, so the possibility of Roma winning the match against Atalanta is also very big in this match.

Manchester united problem is something else because they have continued to change players and coaches since Fergie left the club but all to no avail. It's quite sad to witness a once giant of the game even at the world level to be so belittled by so many little teams because I believe if Manchester united were in good shape, crystal palace would never had won that game with such huge margin.
Yes, it has been almost 10 seasons since Manchester United was unable to win the Premier League title. The reason is, the last time Manchester United won the Premier League was in the 2012-2013 season. After that season, Manchester United never again won the Premier League, and in its best performance, Manchester United was only able to become runner up, in the 2017-2018/2020-2021 season. Then this season Manchester United's performance also be bad again, and they have the opportunity to finish in the middle of the Premier League standings. So if you think deeper, it was only during Sir Alex's time that Manchester United triumphed so well. At that time, Manchester United was really feared by all teams in the Premier League and the world.
Maybe at that time the only team that was able to provide a little resistance to Manchester United in the Premier League was Manchester City.

Apart from that, Manchester United's defeat to Crystal Palace is clear evidence that Manchester United is indeed weak at the moment. Maybe if Manchester United's performance wants to improve again, in my opinion Manchester United management must be right in choosing players and coaches. In essence, Manchester United's special team tasked with analyzing the talent of players who will be recruited/contracted must be even better. Likewise with the selection of coaches, the Manchester United analysis team must really understand what kind of coach suits the playing style of the players.

So what I can conclude is that the most likely reason why Manchester United has not been able to recover during these 10 seasons could be because the Manchester United analyst team has so far not been good at selecting players and coaches.
