Aston Villa vs Bournemouth

Aston Villa will playing as a host now against Bournemouth and after beated Manchester City few weeks ago Aston Villa can able to bounce back because since that match Aston Villa didn't tasted the loses again and so far Aston Villa still unbeatable in the last 4 matches in all competitions and the recent is Aston Villa can win dramatically from Lille at Conference League and i am sure this result can boosted their mentally and Aston Villa in the good motivation to beat Bournemouth and collect 3 points from this match

At league table Aston Villa only have 3 points above to Tottenham so if they want to finish at top 4 at the end of the league then Aston Villa shouldn't be slipped and they have to keep winning to secured their current position but it won't be easy to beat Bournemouth because the recent performance of this team also very impressive because from 7 latest matches in Premier League Bournemouth can gets 4 wins

I know if we see based on head to head statistics Bournemouth has good records than Aston Villa because from 5 recent meetings Bournemouth can win 3 times and only lost once but i think currently it's different because Aston Villa is very solid now and their performance is much better compared to last season and i am sure this time Aston Villa will going to win this match and for betting purposes i can see Aston Villa win has good odds to bet @1.88
This match is one of the few matches that will determine who ends up inn 4th place in the league especially as you can see the battle between Aston Villa and Tottenhamwl with just 3 points separating the 3 teams. Tottenham still have a game in hand and as such, you can understand the pressure this Villa side is facing. In the match against Bournemouth, though record wise Villa doesn’t seem to have a good record but I think the squad them is quite different now and they huge confidence on the current squad.

 Though I’m not all too confident especially as you can see that Bournemouth aren’t a bad side too though. ⁠Not withstanding, I think Aston Villa will be able to get all 3 points from this match and as such they’ll be able to stack themselves up in 4th place while Tottenham waits to play Man City and Chelsea their outstanding. Aston Villa also have some tough fixtures and as such getting 3 points off Bournemouth will be able to ease their pressur.

 ⁠The odds is looking pretty tempting at 1.88 for Aston Villa to get the win and I don’t mind throwing in the cash on that coming to a reality because their team are better shaped as compared to Bournemouth team.

It makes sense to bet on city now to win PL trophy. Even though the outright odds for city was not as good as when it was on the third place but im feeling city is winning the competition. The bad thing is now guardiola will leave from the club at the end of season which is also forcing the club to get a new coach to handle the club.
Totenham is the only strongl fixture on city's upcoming fixtures. Yet again totenham has so many weakness and im not seeing it as a big obstacles for manchester city right now. Club is still doing it very good till this time.

It needs only to be even more consistent than before. PL trophy will be on city's hand once again for 4 times in a row. It's amazing since pep is gonna create a new record in the premier league.
I can't wait shit to happen with arsenal and liverpool once again. Im hoping these clubs get same result as the previous games.
Manchester City are now back to second place with a match in hand which is against Tottenham and you can expect them to be able to win that match because this seem to be the major competition they’re still participating in. A win against Tottenham means they have successfully been able to lay one hand on thr league trophy again for the 4th consecutive time.

 Arsenal and Liverpool have little chances and their only and major hope is for City to be able to get a  draw in at least one match but for that to be an added advantage they’ve got to make sure they themselves are able to gather all 3 points in their remaining 6 matche. Arsenal will be having the major challenge as they have about 4 top teams to face in their final and in about 48hours they’ll be having the first test, Chelsea.

 ⁠I don’t think Arsenal will be able to challenge Liverpool or City especially as these 2 teams have a better experience on battling at the top of the table as compared to Arsenal who are very good bottlers of the league when they’re expected to win. City at the top of the table doesn’t seem to get weak whenever they get to that position and you can imagine how much the team will be willing to go for that.

 Yes If it’s true Pep is leaving then the team will want to also want to win the league for them as this is going to be his last legacy for the club and to the players before his departure. I can now begin to imagine how this team will be able to play without pep next season and as such, the club should try to get a perfect replacement so fast else I think they’ll probably struggle next season.

Previously these two teams had met in the group phase, now these two teams met again in the semifinals. previously, PSG beat Dortmund at the Parc des Princes, drawing at Signal Iduna Park. well, talking about Dortmund, their performance has been up and down, both in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. Currently Dortmund has to focus on two competitions at once, the Bundesliga and the Champions League. thus, Paris Saint-Germain has an advantage over Dortmund, which also has to finish in the top four in its domestic league. at the same time, Paris Saint-Germain is much safer because they are 10 points ahead of the team below them. which means, Luis Enrique can focus his team on the Champions League semifinal match. apart from that, currently Paris Saint-Germain is starting to play quite well and neatly, they have a good chance of overthrowing Dortmund even though they are playing away from home.

But what you say is true, I'm sure Enrique will not underestimate Dortmund even though they are superior. after all, this is momentum for PSG with the existing squad. because for me personally, Paris Saint-Germain has not yet reached its true level. I mean, Enrique still needs several newcomers as a team requirement to become a team that is much stronger than this season. so, Paris Saint-Germain will go all out no matter what team they are facing. and Enrique and his squad should not have wasted this semi-final match in order to qualify for the final phase of the Champoins League. in Ligue 1, PSG will retain its title.

PSG vs Dortmund in the UCL semifinals again after they’ve both faced off each other in the group stage phase of this year’s ucl with psg being the better team. I think this year’s Ucl will be no different because psg seems to be in a bery comfortable position than this Dortmund side whilst they head into this fixture.
 
 PSG will be solely focusing on this competition and as such you can only imagine how top their preparation will be whilst they head into this competition as compared to Dortmund. Dortmund are in a fierce competition for top 4 spot in the league and as such which simply means they’ll be battling out on both this one and the UCL also which means a shift in their preparation ahead of this UCL encounter.

 ⁠With this double preparations Dortmund will have to encounter, this doesn’t give psg the room to underestimate Dortmund because they could be able to hurt them just like they did to Athletico Madrid. PSG haven’t yet been able to reach the level of teams like Real Madrid that you’ll be so sure that they’ll be able to overcomr this challenge.

 Theyre sure of the league and them reaching the finals is one dream of the fans as that will show how much improvement the team has faced in this season as that could probably be a big boost as they approach the new season. I hope psg takes this match serious as I would love to see them in the ucl finals against Real Madrid.

Thanks to the victory in the postponed match, Sporting managed to get away from Benfica who are in 2nd place and now the point difference is 7 which makes it difficult for Benfica to catch up.
There are only 5 matches left in total for the completion of the Portuguese League competition and we can all see that Sporting has guarantee as team that will win the title.
In the future, only easy matches remain and this clearly gives Sporting more freedom to defend their position.

Today new week has started and there has been one match that has finished between Rio Ave vs Arouca and ended in 1 - 1 draw, with this draw Arouca has big chance of experiencing shift in position.
Moreirense, who is directly below Arouca, is only 1 point behind and today Moreirense will only face Gil Vicente, who is team that is not that strong in this competition.
Moreirense has very big chance and indeed they are also favorites in today match.
Sporting have been able to gather maximum points which have been able to help them get a comfortable lead at the top of the table leaving Befica to be at second place. With this lead, I don’t think Benfica will be able to catch up with sporting at the top of the table.

 Sporting have few matches left and they are just against some weak teams in the league and as such you expect Sporting to still be able to get maximum points in the remaining matches of the league.  This kind of victory can only be gotten through lots of determination and hardwork and i think they really merit the league for how much energy they put into actualizing this victory.

 The draw between Rio Ave and Arouca, is one disappointing one for Arouca because this poor result gives the room for Moreiremse to be able to overtake them and if you check their match, you’ll understand how much possible it is. They’ll be playing Gil vicente, who ain’t much of a tough competition to Moreirense and you’ll expect them to get the maximum 3 points.

 ⁠well football is a game of 90 minutes and no matter our predictions, what will happen will happen and we just have to wait till after the final whistle. This match is one crucial one and you can imagine the fans excitement if the team is able to get maximum points in this match as it’ll help build the team’s desire towards reaching their target for the season.

Real Madrid will never underestimate its arch rival in the Champions League even though in recent years it has not met Bayern Munich, but now Real Madrid will be reunited with Bayern Munich in the semifinals and this will be a big match for both of them, whichever club they face. Real Madrid will definitely feel the pressure, as well as Real Madrid, which is not taking its opponents in this semifinal easy because their opponents have also fought hard to reach this round. Even though Bayern Munich appear less consistent in the domestic league, when they are in the Champions League, Bayern Munich is still the second favorite after Real Madrid.

Yes, they have won the Champions League title so for now they have the same chance of getting the title even though most people choose Real Madrid, including myself. But Bayern Munich also remains an enemy that Real Madrid is quite wary of so we'll see what will happen what happens between them later I only wish the best for Real Madrid, it remains my favorite club in the Champions League.
The match between Real Madrid and Bayern happens to be one of those old healthy rivalries in the UCL. Them meeting at this stage of the competition means they both worked real hard for it and as such I think they’ll both respect each other whilst they go into this match. ⁠Though Bayerm haven’t been real consistent especially in the league as they happened to lose out woefully on the league to Bayern Leverkusen but you can’t say the same for the way they play in the UCL. In the Ucl, Bayern seems to be more fierce and I believe Real Madrid won’t underestimate them while they get into the match.

 Of course Real Madrid is considered to be favorite for this year’s UCL trophy but you can’t seem to underestimate Bayern because they too have been able to win the UCL trophy and also their coach just won it recently with Chelsea. As such they should understand the threat this Bayern side pose and shouldn’t overlook them based on their league performance.

 ⁠Of course the match will be one interesting one especially as both teams have shown resilience in getting to this stage of the competition, this alone makes the match to be one fierce one that we look up to. I just hope Real Madrid doesn’t disappoint and try to get the victory and head to the finals.

Real Madrid has again proven that they are the top of European football, they have succeeded in winning various competitions and in several competitions they have succeeded in conquering them by becoming the most successful team in winning the title.
Real Madrid extended their contract with Ancelotti and this season they have proven by having several opportunities that they are the strongest candidates to win titles in several competitions.
This season has really been really great season for Real Madrid, this is clearly revenge from last season where they didn't get anything from every important competition they took part in.

Only team that is able to compete with Real Madrid is Barcelona for La Liga and their rivalry has really been an eternal rival for long time, I remember when Barcelona still had Messi and Real Madrid with Ronaldo, this was an epic rivalry momentum.
In the past I remember how successful Barcelona was when Carles Puyol was still one of Barcelona best captains.
So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game. 

 Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors. Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable.

 Their encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw.

 Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football. Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 20, 2024, 09:26:09 PM

Roma has good experience in the Europa League and wants to repeat the performance like last season, namely reaching the Europa League final but they have to get past Leverkusen first before they can reach the final, no club has been able to stop Leverkusen. Even one of the Premier League club has not been able to stop it and I think Leverkusen will continue to be impressive no matter what opponent they face. Roma is not an easy opponent for Leverkusen if you look at H2H. Leverkusen have never beaten Roma in their 4 previous meetings and Roma themselves have beaten Leverkusen 2 times and last season Leverkusen was also eliminated by Roma so I think this match is quite difficult to predict.

But this season seems different for Leverkusen, they are in very good form and are unbeaten, but if Roma are able to stop Leverkusen it will be a very good achievement because so far this season no club has been able to beat Leverkusen. Meanwhile, in the Atalanta vs Marseille match, I think Atalanta will be the favorite to win this semifinal because of its success in beating Liverpool and the possibility of advancing to the final and facing one of the tough clubs, either Leverkusen or Roma.
At the moment, the UEL this season is left with 4 teams set to battle it all out at the semi finals. The strongest team said to be Leverkusen will be facing the second toughest Roma and I must say it all seems like the UEFA board wants Leverkusen to go home with the trophy. Comparing the probability of the game outcome taking into consideration both teams performances so far, Leverkusen is the better side and they have the greater advantage over Roma.

 Yes Roma can be competitive and can make the game tough but Leverkusen's record won't let them stay down to be defeated. Really it'll be a game to look out for as in the first and second legs, both teams would put up their best to seeing if they can secure the 3points. The last two teams aren't much of big strengths as they've had minor records so far in their European cup quests.

 If either of them wins, it'll be a walkover game for their final opponent because either Roma or Leverkusen would be a better side to them considering experiences gained and domestic league performances this season. Atalanta or Marseille aren't tough teams and if I'm to predict the qualified team to be, I'd go for Atalanta based on they are a little above the average performance of their normal performance. The semi finals won't be an easy battle as anything really can happen on the field of play.

There is no real reason why Xabi Alonso should change team,he is enjoying the biggest success of his life as a coach with Leverkussen,he made them win their first Bundesliga title and that is quite an achievement.The Europa League is looking easier for them now that Liverpool is out,I don't see them having any difficulty facing in the final Atalanta or Roma as the strongest remaining teams in the Europa League now.The guys of Leverkussen are surely motivated as they are eager to win even more,like they say appetite comes when eating well and surely Leverkussen is even more hungry for other successes,they are the strongest contender to win the Europa League as they are nearly 50 games that don't taste of defeat,I guess they have already forgotten what defeat is  Grin.
Leverkusen's qualification to the semi finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to West ham. This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf. 
 
 Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously. Roma themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage.

 We all thought UEL would be fair enough to make an encounter between Leverkusen and Liverpool but we also forgot that football can't always be as it seems as Liverpool, the big team who were projected to stay longer in tbe contest were eliminated by a smaller team who really stands little chance to bring down Leverkusen if peradventure they get to go up against each other in the final game.

 This weekend, Leverkusen would still definitely maintain their unbeaten track record and 99.9% still uphold this record in the domestic league till the season runs out and for their UEL race, the chances to maintain the records are still feasible. Truthfully, so far this season, Leverkusen have been remarkable and they're a team that the football community is proud of.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: April 20, 2024, 08:47:59 PM

In fact, it is more difficult for them to continue in the league. Fenerbahçe has a point difference and they do not have a better game than Galatasaray in the league. I must also say that İsmail Kartal really did harm for this team. If yesterday's match had been won, many things would have been forgotten, but unfortunately they could not achieve success. I think they will continue to lose in the Turkish league, while the situation is like this in the Europa League. But as you said, at least now the players will be better rested, maybe this will make a serious difference, who knows, if İsmail Kartal reconsiders his preferences, he can change things with a new game plan. Fenerbahçe was eliminated in the Olmypiakos match due to bad choices. Why would you take Fred out of the game, a player who has a very good command of the midfield.
The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins. It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

  Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. Their elimination from the UEFA conference league tournament has even given them more time to prepare and focus on the last laps of the Turkish League games for the season.

 In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them both because their opponents are the opposite of them in all aspects. Weeks back, there were unfavorable results in the Turkish League. A goalless draw for Antalyaspor against Alanyaspor.

 The host side has a record of goal scoring and game victories but unfortunately, their visitors were able to hold them down and ensure too well that they didn't get a chance at a goal being scored. For the host, twas a bad game and for the visitors, twas a fair game as they didn't have to loose 3points. So far, let's just see how subsequent games would turn out for Alanyaspor.
430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 20, 2024, 08:33:35 PM

for a popular team like Juventus to share the score for a draw is very embarrassing and on the one hand at the start of last season Juventus looked very enthusiastic and more consistent but towards the end of the season Juventus became weaker as they lost their mentality of competing with other top teams even against teams that were from the top bottom of the standings are also unable to get 3 points.
we can't blame anyone here but we have to look deeper into what the problem actually is because I think Allegri as Juventus coach has tried his best for the team and we also need to see if there are any players who have problems with Allegri that affect their performance on the field.

In accordance with the prediction I said at that time, betting on Juventus winning with small odds in this match is very risky and not equivalent to the risk we are taking and if we bet on BTTS, there will definitely be a lot of bettors who will win their bets in this match.
Asides the Copa Italia this season, there's no other outside contest Juventus will be a part of. They're aimed at securing the Serie A trophy even if Inter won't make it easy for them. The battle will be intense too and so many game wins are expected from both teams.
 
 Their last win is certain in the Copa Italia contest and they'd advance to the finals, although, they'll be rivaled with Roma who are also fierce to bag the trophy. So I'd say that this season, Juventus two trophy chances are just slim and with extra effort, the odds are either they take both or take one or take none. Thankfully , they were able to win and advance to the next stage of the Copa Italia. We anticipate how their next fixture for the contest would turn out. Let's see how the next months would unfold till the season is wrapped up.

 Well the party is over already and now Juventus have had some poor results which wasn’t expected though but they’re a football team and football is a game. I think the fans should take it easy as they don’t expect to have great results match in and out as this same Allegri have also won for them the Scudetto and they should know that the league is quite competitive and other teams also want to shine. Spaletti is said to be one of the huge favorites to replace Allegri and I think that’s not a great option right now though except he’s mentally ready.

 For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too.

 Ronaldo is so desirous to play in the 2026 World Cup as he really wants to be able to help his team achieve victory in the World Cup which is one feat he sincerely wants to avhieve for Portugal. I think this achievement is his driving force and what makes him still play with this much fire he’s playing with. This achievement is one that Ronaldo wants for himself as he knows how much of a legacy that will be for him to be able to achieve that for his Nation. I think this legacy won’t just last for the Nation but also for the world of football generally as a whole.
 
 you can see how much he tries to maintain his body and follow strict guidance as this has helped him still remain active till this stage and able to take on challenges in whatever league or environment he finds himself. Ronaldo compared to his time at Real Madrid is way off it but even at that he still tries to be the most important in the Saudi League despite his age and that has shown how much he keeps up his fitness to still be able to play at this age.

 ⁠I think he’s not prideful as his ego is ok on the field and is one that almost all elite athletes are having. You can also see how meek he is whilst off the field ftom his philanthropic lifestyle amd this shows he’s dedicated to his job and also touching lives off the field. I think this qualites of Ronaldo is a lesson for elites in the society that you can posses range of qualities and above all be humanly in your society.

This will be an interesting match for PSG because they have reached the semi-finals and of course they don't want to disappoint all their supporters, PSG must be able to show that they can get to the UCL final this season with the existing main squad, Mbappe certainly wants this achievement to be at least possible. Winning the title in the UCL season even though it is quite difficult, nothing can stop them if in the end PSG can win the UCL title this season because they have to be really serious about facing Dortmund, who in my opinion is the strongest team in the Bundesliga.

I'm sure PSG can beat Dortmund if they really play with different tactics and strategies than before, at least they can easily outwit Dortmund in terms of strategic play on the field, but many predict that the UCL final will be the meeting place for Munich vs Dortmund, but I'm sure that's not the case. will happen because Madrid will get rid of Munich and PSG will get rid of Dortmund, the most appropriate UCL final meeting is PSG vs Madrid where of course Mbappe can show his abilities in front of all Madrid supporters that he is still a quality player.  Grin
PSG are now in the semi finals and it’s looking like am early party especially after they’re confirmed to be facing Dortmund and the team is confident they can be able to overcome Dortmund as compared to either Bayern or Real Madrid. Well I think when you check it out, you’ll understand why the party is pretty early already.

 ⁠I think PSG shouldn’t be overjoyous that they will be playing Dortmund especially after that stellar performance against athletico Madrid, you’ll believe that PSG are up for a fight. The strength they displayed to be able to take on Athletico Madrid toe for toe shows enough reason why PSG should be extremely careful while approaching this game.
 
 Underestimating the strength of this Dortmund side will be the beginning of psg’s elimination off the ucl as they need to prepare extremely well to be able to defeat this Dortmund side that have shown resilience in defeating Athletico Madrid. Dortmund really want to get to the final and that will be them making a resounding name for themselves in their league and as such PSG ought to be careful how they approach the game.

 A lot will want a final of Dortmund and Bayern but we know very well that an idle final will be that of PSG and Real Madrid where we’ll see Kylian playing against his mew club. This will give Kylian more room to show his new club his level of performance and they will know the quality they’re about to welcome in to the club.

Luton are trailing 0-4 at the moment and it looks like they will experience their second defeat in a row after previously losing to City, and it is quite difficult for the home team to catch up because there are only 20 minutes of normal time remaining in the match.
What is actually surprising is how Burnley was able to lead from Sheffield United 4-1, and if Burnley is able to maintain their lead after the match is finished and it looks like they will indeed get three points because it is difficult for Sheffield to catch up, then Burnley still has a chance to survive if Nottingham Forest is experiencing bad luck in the next few matches, with just a few points difference from the team in 17th position, Luton or Burnley's chances are big enough to get out of the relegation zone, and this will be a tight competition for several teams until the end of the season
Luton match has ended and yes it ended in a big loss as they weren’t able to get lore than a goal from that match. This match once again shows how much this Luton defense is poor as they’re always know to be conceding over 3 goals.

 ⁠I think with the way they are conceding they might not be able to still remain in the top flight but par adventure they still remain, I think the coach needs to quickly fix up his defense line because the EPL doesn’t need you conceding so much like that. If you keep conceding you keep the attackers under much pressure to be able to score for the team to cancel out on goals conceded.

 Burnley winning Sheffield, I’m not surprised because in over 60 years, this Sheffield team has been the worst team whilst playing at home in the EPL. Burnley seems more balanced than this Sheffield side and as such, I’m not expecting something different from the scoreline.

 At the relegation zone, I think if Burnley can keep up this energy when they play United next then we could see some interesting competition at the bottom of the table but for now, I think the 3 clubs that came from relegation should please return. The EPL is interesting in the top half of the table as we have a mild bate in the bottom half.

I think, when Madrid get a draw at the Bernabeu, of course the second leg will be very difficult for Madrid when they have to play at the Etihad Stadium, but indeed what I expected was true because Manchester City was able to bring the game to penalties kick, but indeed the winning mentality possessed by Madrid in the Champions League certainly makes them able to overcome every pressure that exists,  In addition, I think, the grudge after last season was destroyed by Manchester City certainly makes them motivated to eliminate Manchester City this seasons, Madrid's chances of being able to win their 15th UCL trophy are of course wide open but still it will be difficult in my opinion.

Bayern Munich vs Madrid will be a match that deserves to be called the final of this season, although indeed Bayern Munich is down in the Bundesliga but we cannot underestimate them in the Champions League after successfully eliminating Arsenal, I think Madrid will find it difficult to beat Bayern in the semi-finals later and maybe the winner of the game will also be decided by penalty kicks, but I personally hope Madrid can reach the final with PSG,  And want to see the dilemma felt by Madrid fans when Mbappe can later score against Madrid and make PSG champions after he was rumored to join Madrid next season.

Real Madrid were able to go past City at the Etihad on penalties after a thrilling draw that ended the game after 120 minutes. This match was one exciting one and one we looked up to especially after the draw at the Bernabeu, you would expect Man City to deal with Real Madrid at the Etihad.
 
 Well Real Madrid showed resilience and a very strong winning mentality and that was essential for them to be able to overcome this Man City side as it helped them hold this Man City side all through 120’’ and them go ahead to defeat them on penalty shootouts. The way Real Madrid handled the game is the kind of mentality that’s needed in top matches as it helps a team come out victorious and with this kind of mentality you can start seeing Madrid as the next European Champions.

 ⁠A semi final has been set between Real Madrid and Bayern and that match is somewhat similar to that of Man City, just that Bayern at the moment aren’t in best of form but based on past experiences, you can believe they’ll be a match to Real Madrid. I don’t think it will end in a penalty shootout though because Madrid seems more fierce and would be able to get the win with enough goals at the Bernabeu and could probably get a draw at Germany.

 ⁠A final with Psg is actually a dream one as we will all want to see how Mbappe will be able to play against his soon to be club and if he will be able to help Psg with their first Ucl trophy. Well that’s just fantasy because we know Real Madrid will sure be getting their 15th UCL trophy this season especially after the way they were resilient against Man City.

Inconsistency? Have you been following them lately or you're just here for post count? Lol. They have just lost a game in the year 2024 in the Premier League Competition. I don't understand when you say they're not consistent. In the month of February, they scored a total of 30 goals in the Premier League Competition so I don't know where this inconsistency is coming from.

I don't think in the Premier League Competition it's about mentality for Arsenal, Glad to also see people giving Mikel Arteta his flowers. I Have a problem with why he would change his winning squad fir another. That changes, had it's effects during the game against Aston Villa.

It's just a lose for now, they have from now until the end of the season to fix things real quick. Like I always say, it's not over until it's over and never say never.
Off course, fans would be vexed. The change of players affected the rhythm of how they've been scoring and playing.
Yes they are not inconsistent because the way they bottle the league when they have the best advantage is quite worrisome. I think the person meant to say they’re consistent in bottling because that’s what this team does continuously and sincerely, the fans are getting tired already of this because with this kind of team and they’re not winning the league when next will they be able to win it.

 This team with all her goals is not able to consistently keep banging those goals and yet you say they are wrong for calling them inconsistent. The person is actually right, no doubt you must give them the needed applauds for the loud number of goals they’ve scored but what are those goals without been able to secure adequate points.

 ⁠It’s over already for Arsenal and why give him flowers because he actually is the cause of their current state. Why on earth will you build a squad and then get a winning team and when you need the win most, you change the squad and then during the game you’re mute. ⁠You make crazy substitutions that instead of helping the club, it destroys the whole team the more. Now the fans are already calling for Arteta to leave the club because he’s shown the traits of an average coach already.

Sorry but it seems looking at the current points and remaining games I don't think there will be any changes to the leaderboard until the end of the season. With 4 matches remaining I think it is almost impossible to change the standings, except for AZ Alkmaar and AJax. PSV and Feyenoord have secured tickets to the UCL next season because their points are no longer possible for other teams to catch up with. Twente is 5 points ahead of AZ Alkmaar. They will face AZ Alkmaar in May. Their other three matches will be against relatively weak teams. AZ Alkmaar is 7 points ahead of Ajax. This means that if Ajax is able to win all the remaining matches then they will collect 60 points. AZ Alkmaar only needs 2 wins to secure their position from Ajax. But they have tough games left as they have to play against NEC, Twente, Go Ahead Eagles and Fc Utrecht. And Ajax have an easier match than Alkmaar. I hope that at least Ajax can qualify for the UEL next season.
Well football they say isn’t always over till probably after the final whistle. This is one of the fun facts about football that keeps us glued to our screen each time we watch a game of football. In the match in the Eredivisie League, we saw some beautiful comebacks between Ajax and Twente.

 Twente took the lead quite early and the lead lasted a while and you’ll think that the game’s pretty over but surprisingly Ajax were able to turn things around and get maximum points. ⁠This competition makes a league get interesting and get fans want to know what’s happening in the league. The league is rounding up and we’re having about 5 matches to go and every team trying to make sure they secure their qualification spot.

 PSV are league winners already while Feynoord runners up and as such those 2 will be representing the league in the UCL. The likes of Twente will still need to be consistent to battle it out with AZ Alkmaar especially in the game between themselves and as such this gives Ajax and advantage that if they remain consistent then they can probably sneaky into  an European qualification spot.

At the moment PSG are of course getting closer to the Ligue 1 title, two consecutive wins in the remaining games will certainly allow them to win the trophy sooner this season before Ligue 1 ends, I think what you said is quite true because maybe before the Dortmund game starts next month of course PSG will be championship in ligue 1, so that later they will no longer be burdened with the league schedule which may be close to the schedule The Champions League, facing Dortmund is certainly an not easy job for PSG, although they were able to eliminate Barcelona in the second leg, of course, it does not guarantee PSG will be able to easily beat Dortmund later.

Actually, with the current 10-point gap between PSG and second place in Ligue 1, of course, the competition no longer occurs in my opinion, because it is impossible for Brest to be close to let alone overtake the points owned by PSG, PSG performance in Ligue 1 we cannot doubt, because their ability to dominate the league so far is different from other teams in Ligue 1 at this time which do not have the ability to be able to thwart PSG for winning the league trophy Ligue 1, the only thing I really want to see from PSG this season is how capable they are of winning the Champions League.
 All leagues are wrapping up already and taking a proper analysis of some of the clubs who started on a good note but right now struggling to maintain consistency, then you imagine what went wrong. We’ll try to look at this OGC Nice team who started the season quite fiercely and we thought they’ll be one big battle for PSG.

 ⁠The club fell along the line and surprisingly they’re down to 5th place still in a bid for an European spot. This Nice team started the season quite good but I think their defensive approach to games ruined their chances.⁠Yes it’s good to defend as it’s a tactics that works for teams pretty well but come on this is a league with over 30+ games and as such, you should know that while relying on your defense, you should have a very sharp and fierce attack that’ll be able to help bang those surprise goals.

 ⁠Monaco who sits 3rd will be battling out with Brest this weekend and this is a big opportunity for them to take over at 2nd place if they can get a win, I’ll double chance on monaco. For the Nice vs Lorient match, I’ll rather play a combo of double chancing Nice and Under 2.5 because Nice are good defensively and the ball could just go round the field for the 90 mins without finding the back of the met.

Liverpool elimination from the European League means the 3 top teams can focus on the EPL alone to fight for 1 trophy. And that will definitely make the competition even tighter so as not to lose any more points in the remaining matches they have. With no schedule outside the EPL, coaches are increasingly required to work harder because only the EPL trophy is still open for grabs and like it or not the players have to use all their abilities and energy. Both Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool have to move on from their bad results, although personally I am disappointed that there are no more Premier League representatives in the UCL and Europa League. Regarding the FA Cup, it depends on Man City whether they will be serious about getting it or just the EPL or both it depends on them.
Man City who were just eliminated from the Ucl will continue in their bid for the FA Cup this weekend against Chelsea. Yes they are seen as the better team in that encounter but surprisingly Chelsea too shouldn’t be underrated as probably they could be coming to increase the woes for the Citizens after their Ucl elimination.

 A proper mentality is needed because these are the only 2 trophies left for them and dwelling on the elimination from the ucl might not be good for them rather, they’ve got to try to focus on these two cups. In the epl they’ll face Spurs who’re in a bid to get back to Top 4. This means more work after the game with Chelsea, you now understand why they need a strong mentality.

 ⁠Liverpool too got eliminated from the Europa league which brings them to focus more on the EPL and sane with Arsenal though but the fear is with 6 games to go, will a team still slip up. Yes, City could probably slip, Arsenal too has higher chances of slipping up also.

 ⁠Well the proper mentality is needed from anyteam who wants to win the league but for City who’ll be out for the FAC Cup, yes I’m sure they will want to get back from the UCL Elimination and bounce back stronger but they should wait because Chelsea could give a huge surprise.

Even though Manchester City performed poorly at the start, in my opinion it is because they are optimistic and perhaps because of luck that they are now able to take the lead. Even though previously they had lost a player who could be said to be Manchester City's star, luck was on their side, with Liverpool and Arsenal giving Manchester City the opportunity to get ahead of them and take the lead even though the points were not much different.

considering Manchester City's performance, I think they can be consistent with before they were not in the leading ranking, but now they can lead. also with their next match I don't think they will experience serious difficulties, I think Manchester City can handle it well because I think they are quite confident for the next matches.
Taking a close look at the epl in this closing stage, you’ll understand how much pressure these clubs are on at the moment especially as most of the top 3 clubs will have some big opponents to face in the final 6 matches of the league. This pressure can destabilize the team and as such maximum experience is needed to overcome.

 ⁠Liverpool started quite on a good mote and a lot of us already thought they’ll end the season as league champions as a proper send forth for Jurgen who’s been committed to the club for the past 9 years. Well, the club fell to a loss to Crystal Palace over the weekend and that took them to 3rd place. This draw doesn’t mean it’s a over yet though, so let’s see what happens especially as they have the experience of chasing the league in this kind of pressure.

 Arsenal who were in this kind of position last season with a wide gap ended up bottling, so this season not much hope was on Arsenal and as expected they too fell to a loss to Aston Villa. This took them to 2nd place and sincerely the hope of Arsenal winning isn’t there at all especially as they still have about 4 top teams to play out of 6.

 Man City haven’t been at their best this season thought but come on, they’re now top of the league and as you know City when they get an opportunity to climb top, they tend to fight to stay there. Well let’s see how it all plays out in the final matches of the season as sincerely I wouldn’t want Man City winning the league.

Historically true, but who knows if a miracle can happen here since real madrid is the only strong club in UCL, given that Real Madrid is also up against such strong competition in the upcoming game since it's gonna face bayern which is equal to the real madrid like when it faced city. Bayern will be the next obstacle for Real Madrid to get its 15th UCL trophies. The only problem is that we are in UCL, and any surprise can happen at any time, which would be disastrous if Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich caused by bayern munich was not in good condition this time. it must be noted that if munich was bottle jobs on bundesliga current season.
Madrid has a much stronger mentality than the other club which is guaranteeing the club to play better. This is why this club has won the majority of UCL trophies compared to the other club. The upcoming game against Bayern Munich will be another difficult game for Madrid. Bayern appears to be in poor form, but they are still capable of reaching the semi-finals.

I wouldn't call it luck because Bayern has consistently defeated its opponents since the group stage and it's still stable till this time. I hope tuchel will not be fired if he can help Bayern Munich win the Champions League like what he did to the chelsea a few years ago. He has only ever done it on Chelsea and he needs a half of season to make it happen. This is why Madrid should always be cautious about it caused by tuchel probably knew how to counter it.
I believe Ancelotti was totally aware of Chelsea's victory over Madrid a few years ago. Ancellotti may put more awareness to how to avoid repeat the same mistake. There haven't been many changes to the real Madrid composition. This could be a key to Tuchel's success against Madrid in the upcoming game and he may also able to leave from the big pressure after bayern will get a win against madrid.

It's obvious that I'll watch this match rather than the one between Dortmund and PSG.

We are headed to the semi finals of the UCL and we already have 4 tough teams who’ll battle it to be at Wembley come June 1st, 2024. Yes amongst these 4 teams there’s a favorite already who’s in the mind of every football lover especially after they were able to overcome their fellow heavyweight across Europe in the Quater finals.

 ⁠The match between Real Madrid and Bayern will be to most viewed match in this stage of the UCL because mot much surprises are expected from the PSG vs Dortmund game as compared to this. The UCL is never short of surprises and who knows the surprise could be Bayern being able to go past Real Madrid to the finals.

 ⁠As funny as it may activate sound, it could actually happen especially when you consider the favt that this Bayern team haven’t been the best yet they still try to win. This alone shows hunger and determination especially as this is the only cup they are still on course to win.

 ⁠You can’t also underestimate Tuchel because he’s one coach that’s able to get the victory especially with a shaky Chelsea side in the ucl final. Though we trust Ancelotti to be able to bring down this bayern team especially as they don’t seem to be in the best of their form.
