Roma vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen leg-2 is going to be held today in UEFA Europ league semi-final game. After 32 long years, Roma started their journey from the semi-finals to the final, it is the most joy for Roma. Today's match will be a great attack for Roma to reach the final as they reach this semi-final stage after 32 long years. Roma are ahead after scoring 1 goal in Leg-1 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are under a lot of pressure in the match as they are one goal behind. Today's match is at Bayer 04 Leverkusen's home ground but they are under a lot of pressure and this match Roma will surely attack enough to reach the final. And in the match, it is confirmed that Roma will have a great attack and will definitely reach the final.
Roma looks much better then Leverkusen so far and i think they might win it. Im expecting that Mourinho parks the bus and waits for a counter attack to finish Leverkusen. If a goal accures in early minutes we might see a lot but still this all smells like another low scoring match Yes, I personally have no doubts about what kind of strategy Mourinho will implement in the second leg, because AS Roma won 1-0 in the first leg, this makes me sure that Mourinho will prioritize playing defense and not totally attacking. But yes, even though for example AS Roma will actually play defensively but of course, AS Roma can still make quick counterattacks. Therefore, even though AS Roma played more defensively but in the end, AS Roma still had the chance and ability to score goals because this strategy had also been applied quite often by Mourinho. |

The match between Lille against Marseille was an interesting match because at this moment of course Lille was required to win, the 1 point gap with Rennes made Lille not in a comfortable position. Because Rennes got an easier opponent against AC Ajaccio, of course Rennes can be projected to get three points in that match.
Therefore, maybe this match will be the decisive match for Lille whether it finishes in fifth place or fails. Because based on the odds currently available, it also shows that Lille and Marseille at least both have a good chance of winning.

Sassuolo and Monza will be the opening match this week. Sassuolo will act as the host, but they have had a bad record in their last 5 matches by only being able to win 1 match, while Monza can be better than Sassuolo with no defeat from their last 5 matches. The morality of Sassuolo is not good, so Monza can take advantage of that.
It will be interesting to look forward to because at least Monza has a target of finishing in the top 10 in its first season in Serie A. So yes, the away match Monza against Sassuolo will of course still be an important match for Monza, even if for example Monza cannot beat Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium home Sassuolo, but I believe Monza still has the ability to hold Sassuolo to a draw. What's more, it looks like Monza is still in good morality, because in the previous match Monza managed to beat Napoli 2-0. With these results, at least Monza can still play with good performance in the match against Sassuolo later. |

It seems that the bookies really know everything, because in yesterday's second leg it was in fact Manchester City that it was really projected to win that the odds comparison had a wide gap. Evidently, Manchester City won very well and a 4-0 win looks like Manchester City is only playing against a mediocre team.
I personally didn't expect Manchester City to have that kind of power, because in that match Real Madrid couldn't do much at least to score a goal. So yes, according to previous predictions about the team that won the match between Manchester City against Real Madrid, if one of these teams qualify for the final then this team can be sure to win the Champions League title this season.

Lazio had better be a little more careful than Inter about keeping their presence in top four from now on. Because they are even closer to Milan in the standings - four points. Their next fixture isn't an easy one honestly as it is an away one against Udinese. Lazio couldn't beat them even in a home game before. However the look of their head-to-head games in Udinese's home has been much better.
I think that Lazio will find a way to beat Udinese which are an aimless team in the league right now. Making it to the Champions League must be the board's main expectation from them now.
Yes indeed, based on head to head records at least Udinese still have a chance to be able to hold Lazio to a draw but in reality, so far this season Lazio is a team that has a good record for away matches. With a record like that, Lazio still has a good chance to get points in this match against Udinese. But, if for example Lazio loses in this match, at least the next two Lazio opponents are still categorized as easy which allows Lazio to gain points. Because after the match against Udinese, Lazio will play against Cremonese and also against Empoli. So yes, with these considerations, I personally am still very confident that Lazio will still finish in the top four. |

Well, hopefully the factor of playing at home has a real impact on Bayern Munich on matchday 33, because if Bayern Munich fails to win in the match against Leipzig then it will ensure Dortmund win the Bundesliga title this season. At least, that is a bad scenario for Bayern Munich, because for a good scenario, of course, Bayern Munich has the chance to remain at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end.
Because there are only two matches left, and playing against Leipzig is a difficult match and moment for Bayern Munich to target three points. Because their rival Dortmund will only play against Augsburg because at least, Dortmund can still be sure to beat Augsburg on matchday 33, in contrast to Bayern Munich who will get quite a difficult opponent.

Xabi Alonso has without doubt had a very good performance with his Bayer Leverkusen team this season and should be complimented for all the hard works that he's out in place for the club. However when it comes to tactical experience in coaching Jose Mourinho knows far better than he does so I don't think there's any ground to compare the two football managers.
Bayer Leverkusen who'll play the second leg of their semi-final second at home would definitely find it very difficult to break Roma's defense and I wouldn't be surprised to see Roma win away at Leverkusen tomorrow.
And in such games like this, the outdated Jose Mourinho defending tactics and strategies helps him defeat and win games like this that would get him into the finals. In this game despite the great debut season Xabi Alonso is having with Bayern Leverkusen, what I know is that, Jose Mourinho is having the advantage of advancing to the finals sleeping and snoozing on this game would never happen. Even if they don't win, I expect them to draw because that's thr best they can do to, Bayern Leverkusen would attack while As Roma would be very defensive and compact and they will defend tight. Yes, at least a draw is still a good result for Bayer Leverkusen because it is to maintain its good name when Bayer Leverkusen plays at home. But at least, the 1-0 aggregate is not a big aggregate, and Bayer Leverkusen could have the luck to turn things around. But yes, if I consider Mourinho who has a good defensive strategy, then maybe AS Roma will only maintain their aggregate victory in this match. If that happens, then it will be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to break through AS Roma's defense in the second leg of this match. |

It looks like Real Sociedad is in a difficult moment to maintain its position in the top four, because Real Sociedad will also still have to play against Barcelona, Atletico and also against Sevilla. Because, if in only two matches Real Sociedad loses and at the same time Villarreal is consistent with consecutive wins, then Real Sociedad will be overtaken by Villarreal.
But yes, I also realize that at a moment like this it is possible that teams like Barcelona will also not have the ambition to win three points because Barcelona have also won the title this season. But at least, Real Sociedad remains in a difficult situation because if Real Sociedad fails to maintain its position in the top four, then Real Sociedad also fails to get a Champions League ticket.

Based on the odds currently available, at least Newcastle are still the favorite team to win but for some reason, I personally am not so sure that Newcastle will win this home match. But yes, even though I doubt that Newcastle will win, but I still believe that maybe Newcastle will not lose and that way, a draw is still possible in this match.
But yes, if I am backing Newcastle to stay in the top four then I expect Newcastle to win. But since I don't expect anything for Newcastle and also for Brighton, I will only consider in terms of their performance in this moment. Also, because I admit that Brighton might be able to put up a good fight in this match, and that might make Newcastle fail to get three points.

Wow, it looks like Manchester City is highly projected to win based on the odds currently available, Manchester city @1.55 and Real Madrid @5.00. To be honest, it's a huge gap and Real Madrid shouldn't be seen as weak like that.
Indeed, Manchester City at this moment has a good chance, but that does not mean that Real Madrid will be easily beaten. Maybe, if there is someone who will still choose Real Madrid or at least bet on a draw for 2x45 with a double chance option like draw or away. So maybe it's still an ok choice with maybe good odds, because I'm sure Real Madrid won't be easy to beat.

It turns out that Inter this season has been quite impressive too or at least not bad at all, because Inter still have a final match in the Coppa Italia and Inter will play against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia final. I think, with Inter's performance and quality at this moment, at least Inter has a very good chance of being able to defend its Coppa Italia title this season as well.
Managed to finish in the top four in Serie A standings, a big chance to win the Coppa Italia title and also, Inter will play in the Champions League final. Wow, that's a great achievement I think for Inter this season, because even though Inter are still busy with a busy schedule. Also, Inter will still play against Napoli in the next match in Serie A but, Inter can still play with consistent gameplay so far, and surely it is a very good and impressive performance.

i think at least the relegation has now secured the hamburger team. 2 matchdays are still to play and hsv is 6 points ahead
of fourth place and only one point behind heidenheim. Yes, that seems be perfect now. Nut should Hamburger SV lose the next game at home the fans would probably no longer understand the world. With the defeat n from Darmstadt even the Hamburger SV could still move up to first place. It is strange that Darmstadt did not manage to convert 2 match points. It would be a pity if they did not end their great season at first place. Anyway, Darmstadt, Heidenheim and Hamburger SV can be sure to finish in the top three even though they will still overtake each other but in the end their position will still be in the top three, right? It's just that, of course, the team that finished in third place still has to struggle again because they have to go through the play-off round, but apart from that I think the competition will still make them fine. What's more, the two opponents they will face in the next two remaining matches, at least they or these top three teams still allow them to gain points in the next two matches. therefore, I say in the end they will still be okay because they can still get points to maintain their current position. |

I would also be sure that Marseille will stay in third place despite a surprise winning streak that could unseat Lens.
Another problem is the Lille club, which is likely to be displaced by Rennes because it will be very easy with only 1 point difference. The gap is very small between one to the another team. It's very hard to determine which club that will be staying until the end of season. It looks like that if there will be so many changes to happen for sure. I meant some clubs like marseille and lens are in competition to get UCL spot. Lille and rennes for conference league qualified. I think that if the three matches remaining will determine everything. It depends on how easy/hard the schedules that will be facing by any team. Even though they have an equally close gap in points, but if they can stay consistent then of course Lens and Lille will still be in that position. Because at this moment we also cannot consider what kind of team or opponent to face, because sometimes teams in the middle and lower zones can also provide difficult resistance at moments near the end of the season like this. Therefore, I say they just need to be consistent and not underestimate their opponent too much, because underestimating their opponent will certainly make them unfocused and then fail to gain points to secure their position in the Ligue 1 standings. |

which team do you personally expect to qualify for the finals today?
The best team will qualify. Manchester City have a very good record in their home ground especially this season where they have not lost any game there, maybe Real Madrid will be the first team to break that this season, we will know tonight. The players of both teams know exactly what is at stake and how dangerous the other team can be, so they will be very attentive in the game not to make mistakes that will give the other team an advantage. It's hard to be sure, because even though we consider Manchester City good when Manchester City is playing at home, but the opponent Manchester City is facing is not a weak team either. We know that Real Madrid is the king in the Champions League and that certainly makes Real Madrid also have the chance to win in this second leg. But yes, because Manchester City have been building and preparing their best squad for the Champions League for several seasons, I think this season Manchester City should be able to realize their dream of winning the Champions League title. |

In the end, Newcastle is a team that is very worried at this moment compared to Manchester United, because if Newcastle fail to win in the match against Brighton then it is very likely that Newcastle will drop out of the top four and be overtaken by Liverpool. Because at this moment Brighton really cannot be underestimated because after all, in Brighton's previous away match, in fact, Brighton managed to beat Arsenal.
So yes, of course this will be a difficult match for Newcastle because playing at home alone will not promise Newcastle to win. What's more, in the previous match Newcastle only drew against Leeds. These results can be assumed that Newcastle is experiencing instability again, and of course Newcastle's performance at this moment is very worrying because Newcastle is threatened with failing to finish in the top four.

If Sevilla plays in the Juventus match as well as in the Manchester United match, let's be frank, the chances of Juventus making it to the final are very slim. Unexpectedly, Juventus almost lost in the first match. They achieved the draw with a goal in the last seconds. If they show a similar performance in the rematch, Sevilla can show a performance that can reach the final. Sevilla was by far the most surprising team of this year.
Calling the chances for Juventus very slim is an exaggeration. You can't take the Manchester United game as an example and apply it 1:1 to the duel between Sevilla and Juventus. Sometimes games go the way they go as it did against Manchester United, but do I expect Sevilla to win this one 3-0 as well? No, if both show their best game it will be a close game until the very end I think. Sevilla has now all they wanted, which is a good position from the first minute into the game and they play at home. Juventus has a little disadvantage here as they couldn't capitalize on having their fans as a support at home. This could also go into overtime and maybe a penalty shootout. Sevilla have not lost a single home game this Europa League season and have conceded just 1 goal. It seems to me that not every team can show the same statistics. It's true that Juventus also have good away stats. I think it could really come down to extra time and a penalty shootout. It's hard to say who will make it to the final. Yes indeed, it is difficult to predict which team will qualify for the final for the match between Sevilla against Juventus, because both of them have the opportunity and quality that may be the same at this moment. However, since Sevilla have managed to make such quick changes to their performances and results this season too, I would probably say that Sevilla deserved enough to qualify for the Europa League final this time around. But what is certain is that both of them will still make great efforts to win, because at this moment Sevilla has a better chance. Apart from the fact that there is nothing superior from the aggregate factor, but because Sevilla is playing at home, then Sevilla should have maximized this very good moment to win and qualify for the final match. |

Leipzig's performance at the beginning of the season was erratic, but now the team is performing very well. And Leipzig will try to earn points against Bayern Munich. This match is very important for Munich. Because the Bayern Munich team is only 1 point ahead of Dortmund. If the Munich team loses points against Leipzig, then the Munich team may not be able to stay at the top of the table. Munich's next two matches are against Leipzig and Koln. Bayern Munich team must win both these matches if they want to win the title. Munich's players will surely fight hard to earn full points. But Munich's performance is now somewhat erratic. The Munich team is likely to drop points.
Bayern are unstable and Leipzig can take advantage of this, but for Bayern this match is more important, so they will try to win it. Tuchel understands that everything depends on his team, they can do it, I still believe that Bayern is the strongest team in the Bundesliga, despite the fact that they are now in decline. Dortmund lost points in an unexpected draw with Bochum, it is quite possible that this loss of points will be fatal for them. In fact, so far this season Bayern Munich has never lost when Bayern Munich is playing at home, at least that will give Bayern Munich the chance to keep winning this home match. Also, in the last four matches at least Bayern Munich and Leipzig got the same results with three wins and one loss. Therefore, I personally still believe that Bayern Munich will not lose at home, because based on head to head Leipzig have never beaten Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Moreover, at this moment Bayern Munich is in the title race, which of course Bayern Munich will continue to make great efforts to win three points in the remaining two matches. |

The second leg of the Semi Final between Manchester City vs Real Madrid will certainly be a hotter match. And as usual, the meeting of these two strong teams always brings a strong atmosphere that makes those of us who watch it feel like we are watching the final match. Whichever team wins I will respect that a lot. But I will bet on Manchester City this time.
Each leg of the semi-final felt like we were watching the UCL final. The first leg match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was just so exciting. Overshadowing the excitement of that match, we noticed the most excitement in the match between AC Milan and Inter Milan. The on-field security guards were very strict on the field as we usually see in UCL finals. Perhaps the more fighting match today is going to be between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Today's exciting match may have never happened in a UCL final Not every semifinal in the Champions League feels like a final, because the atmosphere is very high depending on the team competing so yes, not all semifinal matches are like finals. Because at this moment it is a match between Manchester City against Real Madrid and basically, at this moment these two teams have the same quality and opportunities so that the semifinal match in this match feels like a final match. Also, choosing Manchester City or Real Madrid is of course not the wrong choice because anyway, with them only having an aggregate with a draw in the first leg. So at least, the results make these two teams still have a chance to qualify, so choosing Manchester City or Real Madrid at this moment, of course, is based on personal judgment and not because of home and or away factors. |

I have the same feelings that Ancelotti will not remain much in his position and he will move whenever he finds a suitable place to go. PSG needs a new manager for sure and he might be a good pick since Zidane is no longer in the picture.
Chelsea too will be looking for a new manager and we might see other teams searching for vacant quality manager.
With Real Madrid's current state of decline, it looks like it will be quite a bit of pressure for Ancelcotti, but I'm sure it won't make his enthusiasm fade, and he'll keep trying to keep fighting to improve Real Madrid's performance. As long as the Real Madrid players still appreciate Ancelotti's efforts, then Real Madrid still has a chance to recover. Carlo Ancelotti still has a contract at least until the end of next season or in 2024, and thus I personally think that Carlo Ancelotti will still be at Real Madrid maybe until his contract expires. Also, even though this season Real Madrid failed to win the La Liga title, but I don't think it's a downturn for Real Madrid. Except, if Carlo Ancelotti failed to give any title this season and also Real Madrid knocked out of the top four then obviously, it is a real downturn. But, if Carlo Ancelotti can still give titles to Real Madrid and also, this season Real Madrid can still finish in the top four and also, Real Madrid can still play in the semi-finals of the Champions League. So, I personally still think that Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid are still doing well this season, meaning there is no serious downturn. |

Even though Liverpool currently only have a 1 point gap with Manchester United and Newcastle, but Liverpool have played 36 matches while Manchester and Newcastle have just played 35 matches. Thus, Liverpool cannot be sure of finishing in the top four but yes, of course Liverpool will still have the chance to finish in the top four.
But with a note, Manchester United and Newcastle have lost two of the remaining three matches, while Liverpool have consistently won the remaining two matches. But at least I'm also not so sure about Liverpool's next match, because even though Liverpool will be playing at home, but the opponent will be Aston Villa. At this moment, Aston Villa sometimes manages to provide difficult resistance for teams in the upper zone.
