Multan Sultan is now batting after losing the toss against Quetta Gladiators. Both these teams are very strong. Multas Sultan won 3 of their 4 matches. And Multas Sultan team won all three matches they played. The team that wins today's match will be able to occupy the top spot in the table.

In 6 overs, Multan players collected 53 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Mohammad Rizwan and Reeza Hendricks are now batting. Multan's batting order is strong. On the other hand, the batsmen of the opposing team are in good form. Giving less than 200 targets will make it difficult to win against Gladiators.




Multan Sultan tops the table with 3 wins in 4 matches. On the other hand, Quetta Gladiators are second in the table with 3 wins from 3 matches. Today's match is very important for both the teams. Because it is very important for both of them to win this match to grab the top spot in the table.

In the previous match against Nepal, Marto managed to set a target of 138 runs for the Netherlands team. Victory on such a small target was impossible. Nepal reached the target by losing 1 wicket

But the scenario of today's match is different. Nepal team batsmen are not in good form. And they couldn't deliver big targets. If the target was more than 200, the match was likely to be competitive. But the Nepal team gave a target of 173 runs. Also we are not seeing good bowling from Nepal bowlers today.
At the end of 22 overs, the players of Netherlands have collected 101 runs. Netherlands managed to collect 101 runs by losing only 2 wickets. Netherlands need only 72 runs to win in 28 overs. If the Netherlands batsmen can stay at the crease they will be able to win easily.

Zak Crawley is batting responsibly. Although the top order batsmen Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root did not play well in the second innings, Crawley is batting very well. Zak Crawley is unbeaten with 57 runs from 81 balls.

I expected better batting from Pope and Root. But Pope failed to collect any runs and Root collected only 11 runs. Now at the crease are Crawley and Bairstwo. These two batsmen are very experienced. Bairstwo scored 23 runs. At the end of 26 overs, the England team managed to collect 107 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets today. Spinners are getting advantage on this pitch. It will not be easy for England to collect big.

Anything can happen in football. It is natural that Real Madrid will be considered hot favorites in their home match. Moreover, this team is much stronger than Sevilla. However, at the same time, the Sevilla team has gradually fixed the internal problems of their squad. This team is also trying to have a somewhat stable performance.

After a poor start to the season, we have seen Sevilla's players perform well in the last four matches. The team has drawn two matches and lost two. On the other hand, Real Madrid is under some pressure with two draws in the last 3 matches. Getting 3 points in this match is very important for Madrid. However, Madrid are at the top of the table. However, Madrid need to win today's match if they want to consolidate the top spot and increase their points gap over second-placed Girona.



The risk is too high for Sevilla to win. Sevilla are more likely to lose against a team like Madrid. But there is also a small chance of the match being a draw. Madrid are missing key players like Bellingham, Carvajala, Joselu, Camavinga, Rudiger and Alaba in today's match with the squad. This is Madrid's biggest weakness in today's match.

Sevilla seems to be slowly improving and getting further away from the relegation zone. Actually, after they showed incredible performance in the Europa League, I think we all expected better from them. But they have not been able to repeat the performance in the La Liga competition that they did in the Europa League. They got a very good win against Atletico Madrid. And that was pretty unexpected for me.

But whatever I don't think there is any doubt what will happen in the next match. They are playing Real Madrid in the next one. And I genuinely do not think that they are going to win that match. If they can avoid the loss it is still going to be great for them. But I think it will be a 3 point for Real Madrid.

Who dares to put a bet on Sevilla with 9.20 odds??

Is Aston Villa finally dropping off in terms of performance? I think so.
Will they be able to finish in the top four positions?

Well, currently they are in the top four positions. But I highly doubt that they will actually be able to finish in the top four at the end of the season. They are not performing very well. And the point difference between them and the team below them is only two.

So I do not think it is going to be a good idea to trust them to finish in the top four. Maybe if they are able to regain the form that they had previously in this season, they will be able to. But at this moment it really feels like Tottenham and Manchester United might overtake them.

Actually I am not so sure about Manchester United but there is a very good chance for Tottenham.

Alex de Minaur lost against Michelsen and that happened in only two sets. I thought Alex should have done better in this match.
Maybe he is a little tired after playing the final against Sinner on the 18th of February. But still, I believe he should have done much better.

By the way, I do not know if he has picked up any injury or not. Did he? I have not heard anything about an injury.
I am just a little concerned watching his performance because it is pretty unlike him. I worry that he might have some problems.

If I recall correctly odds for Michelsen were 3.65, people who put their faith in Michelsen grabbed a huge winning...

We did not expect such a result in this match. We thought Real Sociedad would be able to win. Real Sociedad is strong in home matches. Real Sociedad won 2-1 against Mallorca in the last match as well.
Real Sociedad were favorites in this match. And Sociedad's players also performed well. They made a lot of attempts to score. But they missed several opportunities. Real Sociedad's attacking players did not perform well. Although they could create chances, they could not finish well.
I would say Real Sociedad lost this match against Villarreal's match strategy. Villarreal were tactical in this match. The players of Villarreal did not try to attack too much. But Villarreal's every attack was strong.



Villarreal's chances of winning this match were slim. So many gamblers like me bet on Real Sociedad to win or draw. I thought the match would be a draw. But they lost because of Sociedad's bad defense. Villarreal only had 30% ball possession. And the team was able to make only 6 shots. Real Sociedad played attacking strategy. But they failed to keep their defense strong.

Today's Bayern Munich team is going to face Leipzig. This match is very important for Munich. Because the team has fallen behind in the title race with defeats against Leverkusen and Bochum in the last two matches. Also Bayern Munich failed to perform well in Champions League matches. Munich cannot win against a team like Lazio. If they fail to win today's match against Leipzig, the Bundesliga championship will probably not be possible for Bayern Munich. Either way, Munich needs to collect 3 points in today's match.

The match between Leipzig and Munich is always very competitive. I have checked the statistics of the matches between these two teams. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Munich have won just one match, two matches have been drawn and Leipzig have won two matches. So it would be foolish to think that Bayern Munich will win easily today. There is also a high probability that they will be defeated. Munich will not be able to beat Leipzig if they do not play well.

With Joe Root's responsible batting, England managed to muster a big enough despite the pitch not being batting friendly. Collected 353 runs in the first innings. It can be called a big collection considering the pitch. Joe Root was unbeaten with 122 runs. Also 42 runs, FOakes 47 runs and Ollie Robinson managed to collect 58 runs. We have seen a good performance from the England batsmen in the first innings. Indian bowlers Jadeja and Akash Deep bowled well. Jadeja took 4 wickets and Akash 3 wickets. Ekahar Mohammad Siraj managed to take 2 wickets.



We have never seen a bigger innings from Indian batsmen. The team lost their seventh batsman for 177 runs. Although opener Jaiswal managed to score 73 runs, no other batsman could play a big innings. India will lose all the wickets to collect 220-240 runs. England team will be able to take a lead of 100-120.

Yesterday we saw Joe Root and Ben Foakes' 113-run partnership leading England to a big collection. These two batsmen have performed very well. Even though Ben Foakes is dismissed for 47 runs, Root is still at the crease. He is batting responsibly.

The England team has already collected 75 runs from the Root-Robinson duo. England are batting very well at the start of the second day. The team scored 320 runs and lost 7 wickets. This is a good enough collection on this pitch. Indian batsmen will be under pressure if they can collect more than 400 in the first innings. Root and Robinson will need to play well if England want to collect big. If this pair breaks I think England's innings will come to a quick end.

The match was very close and yes I must have to say Roma was actually pretty lucky to win the match in penalties. Actually, we all know that in the penalties it can go either way. I thought Roma was pretty lucky to finally win this match. And I also thought this match shouldn't have gone the distance that it had.

Do you guys think Roma will go the distance in this tournament? I actually do not think so.

Actually, the difficulty that they are already facing is pretty incredible. And I think right now they are also fighting really hard in the Serie A.  
So they will have to be really concentrated on that as well. Might be hard for them to concentrate on two competitions at the same time

Even if I agree that the Ligue 1 is competitive, I definitely do not believe that the competition for the title race is competitive. Because every season it looks like an easy grab for PSG. So I refuse to believe that this title race is competitive. And when the title race of a league is not competitive, the league generally loses attraction. So I believe it is not a very bad statement to actually say that the league is not very competitive.

I have to say In this non-competitive environment, it is hard for even a player like Mbappe to actually shine.
Maybe he is able to do a lot of things.
Maybe he is the best player in the world right now.
But in a non-competitive environment, even he will not be able to achieve things to the extent that he should have.

It was actually incredible and pretty competitive as well. This was of course only the first leg, but I still think that the advantage of one goal is going to be pretty big for them going into the second leg. Believe that the result was very deserved for Inter as well.  They were definitely the better team in this match.

Now it is possible that Atletico Madrid does make a comeback in the second leg, but the job has become harder for them after the loss in the first leg for sure. Atletico Madrid had shown better consistency earlier in this season.  Since the last few weeks, they have lost matches and also dropped points when they really shouldn't have.

You know Atletico Madrid has to think about the Copa Del Rey competition as well.  they are also trailing in that competition and they will be going into the semi-final with a disadvantage of one goal as well if I recall correctly. The good thing is they will play against Almeria before that,  and Almeria is currently at the bottom of the table. So they will have a good chance to show something incredible in the semi-final of Copa del Ray

Manchester United are playing pretty well right now. Even though I do not trust the coach that they have, I still have to say that they are doing a good job. They are definitely bringing in good results. I will admit that yes I do not like the coach of Manchester United. A lot of players also seem to have problems with him. But after this moment he is bringing in good results.

Actually, my personal opinion is that this good form is probably not going to continue for a very long time.  But at least in the next match against Fulham, there should not be any big problem winning.

By the way can Manchester United actually finish in the top four? The point difference is not very big.

The performance was very bad from New Zealand. I didn't expect this type of performance from them. I thought this match was going to be closer. Australia did not give any chance to their opponent. I also have to say that the bowling performance of New Zealand was pretty bad in this match.

First of all, they have given away a lot of runs in this match.
And secondly, they have given away a lot of extras in this match. 23 to be exact. And the batting was also below par. Phillips only had some of a contribution but other than that, nobody was able to have any contribution to talk about.
with this win, Australia was able to secure the series victory.  Let's see if New Zealand can win the last match and salvage something from this match.

Do you guys think that the new coach of Roma is doing good enough?

Are you guys actually satisfied with the results?

I can say they have done well in the last 5 matches. They do have a loss. But other than that it was decent.
But don't you think it is still a little too early to say anything?
I think the performance might not be as good as expected after the motivational phase is over.
It is easy to perform well for a certain period of time with a new coach.

The question is are they going to be consistent? The next match is easy for them though. Torino and Monza should be easy.
The next real test should be against Fiorentina.

I agree with you. Arsenal don't underestimate Porto. Arteta is an experienced coach. He was probably well aware of the opponent's strength. Good results are not possible by underestimating the opponent. The Arsenal boys tried. But they failed to play well. We should definitely appreciate Porto's gameplay. This team performed well. This is why Arsenal players were under a lot of pressure and failed to play well. Porto's defense was very strong in this match. Therefore, Arsenal players cannot launch any strong attacks.



I find it hard to believe that this is Arsenal who beat Burnley, West Ham and Liverpool in their last three Premier League games? The team won 5-0 against Bunrley, 6-0 against West Ham and 3-1 against Liverpool. The team played well in every match. But the surprising thing is that this same team could not get a single shot on target against Porto. Despite having 65% ball possession, Arsenal did not have a single shot on target.



Porto proved their defense is very strong. Even in Liga Portugal matches we see Porto's strong defense. They are third in the table only because of weakness in attack. So it won't be easy for Arsenal to break down Porto's defense at home. The next match between these two teams will also be very competitive. Arteta will definitely need to think of a different match strategy if they want to qualify for the next round.

Braga players can't perform well in home matches, do you think they can play well against Qarabag in away matches?
I know everything is possible in football. However, the Braga team conceded a 4-2 defeat in the home match. Their overall performance was not good, and the defense was very weak. Now in Qarabag's home match, I think the chances of a big win against them are low. Qarabag are in good enough form. And a draw in today's match is enough for them. So I don't think Qarabag will have any problem in qualifying for the next round.




The Toulouse vs Benfica match looks set to be a rivalry game. Benfica won the home match. But they cannot win by a big margin. The team won 2-1. Therefore, in today's home match, Toulouse will definitely want to win the match, although the performance of the Toulouse team is irregular, I cannot consider this team to be weak. They have the ability to beat Benfica.

Liverpool failed to win the previous match against Luton Town. The match was drawn 1-1. Liverpool were lucky in the match to score in extra time after 90 minutes to draw the match. Otherwise Liverpool would have lost the match.

We saw Liverpool's dominance in the previous match as well. Even then they could not break the defense of Luton Town. Luton Town's players performed well in the first half of yesterday's match. But in the second half, Liverpool coach Klopp changed his match strategy. And in the second half we only saw the dominance of Liverpool players. After trailing 1-0 in the first half, Liverpool scored four goals in the second half.



If you want to keep the top spot in the table and win the title, you have to maintain the winning streak. There is no alternative. Liverpool are likely to lose the top spot if they lose just one match. So now Liverpool team has to win every match consistently. Arsenal and Manchester City are doing their best to grab the top spot.
