The next champions league qualification schedule and this is the first leg. As we can see, there are several strong teams that are usually subscribed to as champions league participants and this will be a decisive match for all of them to move on to the next round. From these 6 matches I chose Athens, Copenhagen, PSV, Haifa, Galatasaray and Braga who will win the match in the first leg and I am also confident enough to place bets on these teams later. Do you have any other predictions about the results of the first leg later? Or do you have your own favorite team?

Two teams that do not want to lose and both are equally strong this time so that not a single goal was created. The players from both teams showed a balanced game and I was quite nervous when one of them attacked. But unfortunately the absence of goals makes the match boring, if there is 1 goal that is created it can trigger motivation for other players to immediately reply to the goal. However, Real Betis and Atletico Madrid have tried their best and they have at least come home with one additional point.

I am very happy that Atalanta and Juventus achieved the result that I predicted in the multibet. Both managed to beat the hosts with a convincing score and from the start I never hesitated to bet on these two matches. Especially if you remember that this is still an early match, so I think every team wants to always get a win to add points to the standings.

Actually I wanted to continue betting until the Torino match against Cagliari but saw that there was one match that only got a half win, so I decided to cashout earlier than to waste the results of the bet I got. Maybe it's just a small bet for most people but I'm very happy with the results that I have predicted. Maybe I'll try to make another bet on the Bologna vs Milan match as well as include Torino vs Cagliari in my new multibet later.

Maybe I'm one of those people who expect Chelsea to revive this season, but the results of the match against West Ham actually add to another list of failures from Chelsea. The quite humiliating 3-1 defeat at home to West Ham hit the Chelsea players and their new coach Pochettino in the face. Chelsea had to concede an early goal through Aguerd's goal, but not long after that Chukwuemeka equalized through a fantastic goal.

I was confident that this time Chelsea would make a comeback but it seemed they were still struggling until finally West ham added two more goals in the second half as well as closing the win for the hosts.

There were two unforgettable events in this match, namely the two most expensive Chelsea recruits, Enzo Fernandez failed to execute a penalty kick and Moise Caicedo who gave a penalty voucher for West Ham.

Aymeric Laporte will be Al-Nassr's next newest recruit and he will be contracted until 2026. He was brought in from Manchester City for a total of 30 million euros and we know that Al-Nassr has had a bad defense lately so they often concede goals. The presence of Aymeric Laporte is certainly expected to strengthen Al-Nassr's defense, especially since he is an experienced defender who also led Manchester City to win the treble winner last season. Now Aymeric Laporte will soon undergo a medical test this week and it is hoped that soon he will be announced as an official Al-Nassr player.

I was quite hesitant yesterday when I wanted to bet on Monaco's win because last week Strasbourg was strong enough to beat Lyon. But unexpectedly the home advantage boosted Monaco's confidence to humiliate Strasbourg and win 3-0 without reply. The brace scored by the former Liverpool player made it even further for Strasbourg to catch up and Minamino also contributed an assist for Ben Yedder's third goal. I think it's too soon to talk that Monaco can defeat PSG's domination in Ligue 1 because after all this is still the second week and PSG are currently in a very bad state, only getting 2 points from the 2 matches that have been played.

Maybe Ronaldo was the one who suggested Al-Nassr to bring in Otavio from Porto and he is indeed a player that Al-Nassr needs at this time. Otavio is an attacking midfielder and we know that this position is currently vacant, this could be an opportunity for Otavio to establish himself in that position. If we look at Al-Nassr's previous matches, they lack creativity to stab from the midfield area and choosing Otavio as a new recruit would be quite appropriate. When compared to other Saudi league teams, maybe Al-Nassr is quite behind and they have to continue to add ammunition to their players in every position so that at least one side doesn't stand out.

I quite enjoyed the Al-Ittihad match against Al-Taee but indeed Al-Ittihad had several chances but quite a few were wasted. We can see that Al-Ittihad produced 8 shots on target and they were only able to penetrate through two goals. Karim Benzema actually also had a chance but failed to convert it into a goal and thanks to two goals from senior players at Al-Ittihad they were able to score full points at home. I think Karim Benzema sometimes just needs the right flow of the ball from the other players because he is known for his very sharp finishing even for a 35 year old player.

Leipzig's victory over Bayern Munich in the DFL Cup final without conceding a goal and that is very good as a benchmark for Leipzig's next match. But indeed the results said differently against Leverkusen and of course many people were very disappointed by losing the bet. This score is actually not too bad considering that the two teams exchanged goals before Leverkusen finally won the match. Talking about Xabi Alonso's recruits this season, we can see one name making his debut in this match and he is Granit Xhaka who is a former Arsenal player. His arrival also strengthened the Leverkusen midfield even more solidly.

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.
