Although Nottingham Forest lost, but honestly I really appreciate it. Because after all, Nottingham Forest defeat also occurred because Nottingham Forest played with 10 players, and also Manchester United managed to win through a penalty kick and Bruno Fernandes successfully executed. Even though in reality, Manchester United played at home but in fact Manchester united it still very difficult altough just to beat Nottingham Forest and also, clearly Nottingham Forest does not have above average quality. Thus, then there is still something to be improved and improved again, because the next matches and to playing in the Champion League of course Manchester United must have a better performance than this.

Basically Monaco has a good dominance in the away match against Nantes but in fact, Nantes can make two quick goals in 15 minutes of the first half. Obviously, those two quick goals forced Monaco to play more aggressively and more pressing and yes, the effort gave good results for Monaco. Because anyway, at least Monaco did not lose this away match even though indeed, only 1 point was obtained. But at least, it is an important point that must be consistently obtained if Monaco to still wants to be in the upper zone in the Ligue 1 standings. But indeed, I quite did not expect Nantes to be able to make such a surprise, which is also worthy of Nantes winning but again, Monaco is still a difficult team for Nantes to beat.

Dortmund failed to win on this second matchday, although basically Dortmund only played away against Bochum. Meanwhile, basically Bochum still doesn't seem to have a good form because after all, in the first match Bochum lost big by Stuttgart with a score of 5-0. I thought that with the big defeat Bochum suffered in the previous match, it would also have a bad impact on the match against Dortmund. But what happened was that Bochum managed to get 1 point, because Bochum managed to hold Dortmund to a draw with a score of 1-1, of course it was not a bad result at all for Bochum.

I'm curious, whether Vinicius injured so he was taken off and replaced by Joselu? Because anyway, replacing Vinicius in the 18th minute is obviously a fast time for Vinicius to play in the first half. Also apart from that, Rodrygo missed a goal from a penalty kick, I think it was a bad or unsatisfactory result. But indeed, Real Madrid still won and got three points in this away match, but it seems that Real Madrid also has to work hard to win in this match. Because anyway, Real Madrid just scored at least 10 minutes before the end of the match and yes, Bellingham managed make a goal to make win the match and Joselu also managed to make an assist.

I think the steps of a team in the Champions League stage are determined in the group position, if you join relatively easy clubs then the next step will also be smooth. For now, Barca's strength has not really been read because it is only the beginning of the season in the Domestic League while the UCL is still at the Play Off stage. However, with the addition of players like Gundogan, it is hoped that Xavi's squad can go further in the UCL this season.
All team strengths will be clearly read when the group stage has started or is taking place this season. Because for now, we cannot assess all the teams how strong they have this season, even though each team already has new players and might become a mainstay of the team to bring about a change in strength in their squad. There are still many who place Barca in the list of favorites with other big teams, perhaps the historical and mental factors they have are the things that underlie these various assumptions.
If there are assumptions for historical factors, because Barcelona is a team that has been in operation for a very long time, but for mental factors I think other teams like Real Madrid also have the mentality of winning the Champions League even though last season Real Madrid failed to win the Champions League. Even if they can play well in the group stage, but still there is no guarantee that they will continue to qualify easily. Because after all, even if they can qualify for the round of 16 but in reality, many leading teams or many favorite teams also fail in the knockout stage like in the round of 16. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether they are group winners or become runners up group, because to reaching the final match in the Champions League will certainly never be easy. Also, I don't care about Barcelona past history. Because anyway, Barcelona history in the last two seasons is also very very bad and at least, it will be difficult to rise in bad situations and conditions like Barcelona experienced in the moment. |

I think Lukaku can be a good option for AS Roma because at the moment Roma is being hit by a striker crisis due to Tamy Abraham and Dybala struggling with injuries. Apart from that, the Roma management, which is known to be very economical in spending money on spending on players, is also another reason and borrowing the Chelsea striker will be an advantage for both parties. And I'm sure Lukaku can get back to what he's capable of under Mourinho and the two of them will understand each other's characteristics
Lukaku appears to be being guided by Mourinho persuasive tactics towards AS Roma in Serie A possibly as a profitable loan from Chelsea. The move seems hopeful given that AS Roma needs attacking ability and Mourinho talent for developing powerful strikers. Mourinho conviction is probably strengthened by Lukaku dissatisfaction with Chelsea coach and the chance to excel in an attacking role at AS Roma. If Pochettino does not have any ambitions for Lukaku in his starting lineup this move might be especially useful. Although Lukaku might command a high price in the SPL his desire to make Belgium team may prevent him from making the move. Lukaku problem still seems to have not been resolved, because Lukaku presence at Chelsea is also clearly not expected and or not welcomed. That way and also, of course, basically Lukaku still has good performance and can still be expected to play well. Then of course, playing at AS Roma can be the right choice for Lukaku. Because after all, Lukaku has no place at Chelsea and there is no longer any hope for Lukaku to return to Inter. In addition, the option of moving to Juventus it seems never happen either and so of course, AS Roma could be a loan option that could happen before the transfer window closes. |

Bournemouth v Tottenham will kick off in about 10 minutes. Totthenham are off to a good start in the league. After drawing away to Brentford and beating ManU at home, Totthenham will want to win this away game. We cannot say that it will be an easy game for them but I think it will be a difficult match for both teams. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have scored in both of their matches. I expect this to be a game where both teams can score goals.
Looking at the statistics for the meetings between the two clubs, it seems that they are equally strong, even Bournemouth last won 2-3 over Tottenham and even Bournemouth could steal points at home to Tottenham, in my opinion, for sure the two clubs will buy and sell attacks and will run very fiercely, very interesting to watch .. Lol, the match just ended and Tottenham managed to win with clean sheets with a score of 0-2. Obviously, I think Tottenham this season has a refreshment and a different color after Kane departure to Bayern Munich. Because anyway, it looks like Tottenham can be better this season and I hope so, at least Tottenham have a great chance to be able to compete in the top four this season. Happy to get this good result, because it proves that Tottenham can still have a good performance even with a squad that is at least new compared to the presence of Kane in the team. |

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid have really performed well in the last two matches where they managed to win both matches. Today we have a trip to the Estadio de Balaídos or Celta Vigo's base, but I'm not worried about the final result.
Real Madrid has a high probability of winning compared to the home team, of course that's because Celta Vigo's performance was not good in the first two matches. Celta only managed to collect 1 point in 2 matches, so it should be safe for Real Madrid to be expected to win 3 points today. My concern is still on Bellingham, I hope this phenomenal midfielder will score again today.
Real Madrid has a good historical record when they met Celta Vigo, so far Real Madrid haven't lost or drawn since their last 6 meetings. But still, Real Madrid must be wary of Celta Vigo, because Celta Vigo will play at home. Remember that Celta has never failed to score against Real Madrid at the Estadio de Balaídos. They could score early and then play defensively. In the previous two matches also that Real Madrid played away, but Real Madrid still managed to consistently win. Also, in the Real Madrid first match this season in fact Real Madrid managed to beat Bilbao with a score of 2-0, which basically the quality of Bilbao is still better than Celta Vigo. So yes, playing away on the third matchday for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo, I am sure this will not be an obstacle for Real Madrid to record a winning result at this moment. Because yes, Real Madrid players are in their best form at the moment, especially their attack line. |

Last night's match was good test for Fenerbahçe. I saw them very physically strong and Stable except goalkeeper (which they will replace soon). Fenerbahçe has all around one of strongest squads in conference league right now - their opponent Twente was no match for them even though they scored first goal with a bit of luck. I may bet on Fenerbahçe a lot when they start playing at group stage. Their wingers are awesome.
We can say that Fenerbahçe passed this round and qualified for the group stage. Ismail Kartal applied the right strategy against Twente. I think he is the architect of this success. He analyzed Twente correctly. On the other hand, Twente played with a very aggressive game tactic and in the 43rd minute of the match they were left with 10 men on the pitch. I think this red card is the most important detail that explains the score of the match. Fenerbahçe managed to easily beat their opponent who played with 10 men. Fenerbahçe will be very comfortable for the rematch in Istanbul. I think quality players like Dzeko and Tadic will be rested and not played in the second leg. I think it's too much for you to judge Fenerbahce because after all, when Twente still played with 11 players that the match was still running normally. But unfortunately, in the second half Twente only played with 10 players and with an imbalance like this, then of course the numerical advantage makes Fenerbahce able to play better. Because after all, the reality is that Twente also managed to score first in the first half, so Twente is still a good team if they keep playing with 11 players in this match. So yes, in my personal view, that Fenerbahce will not guarantee to continue to win in the group stage later. |

Retiring and becoming a coach is the right choice I think, his contract will end on 30 June 2025 and Ronaldo will be 40 years old. The impact and influence exerted by him has been proven, I think Ronaldo is more influential in the media than Leonel Messi.
Reportedly Ronaldo once made a statement that he would spend the rest of his time at Sporting, where he grew up in football. I think he will retire there, this is also not ruled out. It would be a good option for any professional footballer and I also hope that Ronaldo will take this opportunity when he retires. If you look at Ronaldo's way of taking care of his fitness, it is not impossible that at the age of 40 he can still play in the Saudi Arabian league because this league does not really need speed. On the other hand the option as you mentioned is also likely to occur because Sporting Lisbon is a club that has a big role in making Ronaldo's career and this is where Ronaldo's career started to become the world football star he is now. Speculation about Ronaldo's future after his contract expires is still quite wild and before he decided to move to Saudi Arabia not many parties predicted this for various reasons. So let's wait and see what steps Ronaldo will take after his contract ends at Al-Nassr because there are still a few more seasons for him to stay or take steps to retire. I think cristiano ronaldo will retire from saudi arabia league. Because I don't see any chance of coming to any European club with the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, the Saudi league will become very competitive within a few seasons. Yes basically, the Saudi League and the Portuguese League at least the Portuguese League has higher pressure and yes, if we consider Ronaldo age then it seems very unlikely that Ronaldo will play at Sporting. Unless, if Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr in the next season and Ronaldo age is still 39 years old but still, at that age it is difficult for Sporting to let Ronaldo play. Because after all, playing in Al Nassr even though the competition is still fairly easy, but in fact Ronaldo still cannot make Al Nassr consistent to win. So yes, it is very unlikely that Ronaldo will return to Sporting because it seems, Ronaldo will really retire right at the age of 40 when his contract expires at Al Nassr. |

Although West Ham in the previous match defeated Chelsea with a score of 3-1, but these good results do not seem to make West Ham have a good chance also in the next match. Because anyway, West Ham will play away against Brighton and in fact, Brighton at this moment is also at the top of the Premier League table which is certainly on fire. Also, in the last season Brighton can really beat West Ham in two matches or in two meetings last season. Therefore, it seems reasonable that Brighton will still be the favorite team to win against West Ham in the third matchday of the Premier League.

In the next match it seems that there will be no big matches and yes, it is likely that the big teams will get full points on the second matchday. But at least, maybe only AS Roma is still not certain to win. Because after all, AS Roma will also play away against Verona which of course, basically Verona is not a weak team nor is it an easy team to beat. Therefore, after all AS Roma must still get points in this match, even though the result maybe only a draw with 1 point. But most importantly, AS Roma did not lose this match, at least to maintain hope for AS Roma to stay in the upper zone of the Serie A standings this season.

Tomorrow Nantes vs Monaco of French Soccer League will start the match between these two teams. In this match, the Monaco team is much stronger. It is not clear in advance which team will win this match. But I hope Monaco team will perform very well in this match. Nantes team Monaco team will have more chances to win this match if they perform poorly.
Two different results were achieved by these two teams before and as hosts Nantes should be able to win this game because after all they cannot suffer the same fate as last season. Monaco are coming in confident with two wins and they will be looking for a third win this game. Statistically, the meeting between the two was dominated by a draw and I doubt that this time Monaco will win easily. The thing that has become my focus is the possibility that the two teams will draw with each other scoring goals and that is a pretty reasonable option so far if you want to bet. Nantes started the new season badly, with 2 losses. Monaco had an opposite start against Nantes. They won 6 absolute points/2 rounds. Concerns about the integration of new coach Adi Hutter were quickly dispelled. Confronting Nantes is a good opportunity for Hutter's teachers and students to complete their goals. Monaco is too bright to prolong the winning streak. I predict this match the result is 3-2 in favor of Monaco. Monaco started the season very well and also, with two wins previously that make Monaco are currently at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Also, in the head to head record it is also clear that Nantes get difficult to beat Monaco, because Monaco also has at least a better winning record. With Monaco good record and also, Moncao performance which is still consistent at this moment, then of course Monaco will not lose this match. What's more, from the odds factor it is also clear that Moncao is quite the favorite to win this match. So, Nantes doesn't have a good chance to win in this match, because it is clear that it is very possible for Monaco to continue its positive trend at this moment by winning the match. |

Talking about favorites, we already know the team that will reach the important stages in UEFA Champions League this new season. You're absolutely right about picking Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The Seria A clubs putting up stunning performance this season in UEFA CL, and other elite competitions. Last season, we had three clubs from Seria A that made it to three finals, and they all got defeated and went home without a single trophy. I guessed this season will be different one, expecting Inter, Juventus and Napoli to pulled a competitive race for UEFA Champions League this season.
I totally agree with your insightful thinking my friend. Also for me these strong teams you mentioned are the best candidates to win or at least reach the final stages of the UEFA Champions League. We will see, but i think yes. Barcelona don't seem to be included in this circle, I wonder why anyone still believes Barcelona will be a title candidate team in the Champions League this season. Because the fact is, that Barcelona in the last two seasons always failed in the Champions League. Also Barcelona not only failed in the Champions League, but Barcelona also failed in the Europa League and obviously, it was a bad achievement for Barcelona. Although yeah, Barcelona has a star player in the squad but still, Barcelona still does not have the quality or ability to be a candidate for the title in this Champion League this season. Lol! |

Leipzig are going to play the opening match of the week. They are hosting Stuttgart this time and you know how solid start Stuttgart had to the season. But the opponent was Bochum of course which is a much smaller team than Leipzig. I think that this is going to be the time Leipzig get their first victory in the season.
Leipzig looked really incredible against Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup match. Their first match in the Bundesliga was a really tough one so I won't criticize them so much for losing. But here in this match I expect no other result than a win for Leipzig.
What do you think on this match? Leipzig has odds of 1.51 for the win so I find it really favourable to add to a parlay.
Although in the first match of this season Leipzig lost by Bayer Leverkusen, but I think Leipzig still played well. Because anyway, even though it was an away match for Leipzig. But in fact, Leipzig can still provide good resistance against Bayer Leverkusen because also Leipzig managed to make two goals in that match. So, about Leipzig next match which will play at home against Stuttgart, I believe that Leipzig will win this match. Because in fact, Stuttgart has never won at all when Stuttgart plays against Leipzig. With such a dominating head to head, then of course Leipzig will not lose in this home match against Stuttgart. |

What do you think of Chelsea vs Luton Town? Will Chelsea be able to overcome its still-not-sharp attack line? considering that Luton Town is certainly not a strong opponent when viewed from any angle, but Chelsea also cannot fully guarantee victory. I know on paper Chelsea has a very high win rate. I will not underestimate Luton because they might want to show that coming to the Premier League is not easy, so every game that Luton Town players face needs to maximize the results. The most important thing now is that Luton Town needs to have more experience playing against big clubs to get used to the Premier League style of play.
Even if we consider Chelsea is in the bad form still Chelsea got a more chance in this game against Luton Town and they are not strong at all to be a problem for a team like Chelsea because in the past games, these two teams had against teach others Luton Town two games against Chelsea and they could never win or even take a draw against Chelsea. However, the 10.0 rate seems tempting to me for Luton.  It doesn't matter what head to head results they have because anyway, the head to head results they have happened in the past and not happening in the near future. Therefore, I think their head to head results cannot be used as a reference at all because of course, the current situation is clearly very different. So yes, because whatever happens is clear, that Chelsea must succeed in getting three points in this match. There is no good reason for Chelsea to fail to beat Luton, of course Pochettino must prove his quality too. |

Saudi teams are signing really good players from Europe one by one. This time the most speculated name is Mohamed Salah. Al-Ittihad have already made an offer but it was rejected by Liverpool in a short time. It won't be easy to convince Liverpool for this transfer even if they do that for the player. But I doubt Salah would like to leave this season. I think he is just concentrated on his game with Liverpool this season. At least for one more season he might want to fight for Liverpool's success.
After that there might be an agreement to be made between Liverpool and Salah to let him sign for a Saudi team.
Many famous stars have entered the Saudi Pro League, all of whom refused at first, but later came to Saudi. I think Mohamed Salah will definitely accept this offer later because the current time is linked with a fight with Liverpool. I have seen Mohamed Salah perform well at Liverpool too but won't let the player go this season. Because all the stars are now more inclined towards the Saudi League, because at the end of their career, they must accept this offer from Saudi. Basically, Salah is still under contract at Liverpool until 2025 and also, Salah is currently 31 years old. Therefore, it will be very possible for Salah to play in the Saudi Pro League in the future, considering that if the player has aged like that, then at least it is a close age to retire. But yes, because at this moment some clubs playing in the Saudi Pro League are willing to pay expensive to old players, then I personally really believe that in the end Salah will join. But yes, not for this season and also not for next season, because maybe Salah will honor his contract at Liverpool until it runs out. |

Kepa current status may be that he is a keeper on loan, but if we look at Courtouis condition, the injury is very fatal and the contract in Madrid will not be renewed automatically, in my opinion, Kepa has the potential to make it permanent in any way. Courtouis, Modric, and Kross both have contracts ending next year, so it makes sense that Ancelotti is gradually starting to prepare Madrid's foundations. Rodrygo. Because if the vacancy problem is resolved, Madrid has returned with a formation that can worry the opponent's defense.
Thibaut Courtois must accept to undergo the recovery process from the injury he got while playing, Real Madrid will not be looking for a new goalkeeper because it seems that Real Madrid's financial condition is not good so when he buys a new goalkeeper it will worsen Real Madrid's finances, So far there are still Kepa Arrizabalaga, Andriy Lunin and Lucas Cañizares who might be able to replace the position of Real Madrid goalkeeper. Let's see how Kepa at Real Madrid throughout this season, because if Kepa on the bench more often. Then, there seems to be no definite guarantee for Kepa to stay at Real Madrid. It seems, the experience that Kepa has also still does not guarantee Real Madrid is interested in playing Kepa in the main squad. Because so far, the fact is that Kepa has still not been played by Real Madrid, and Kepa has only been on the bench so far. Thus, if this season ends, it is certain that Kepa will return to Chelsea first. But yes, if then Real Madrid are still interested in signing him, then of course in the end Real Madrid will sign him too. But I think, a permanent transfer for Kepa is still not certain to happen. |

It's a bit strange to see Lukaku, who is Inter's mainstay player, in a Roma uniform this season if this transfer takes place. But it's not a big problem for Lukaku because I don't think he should stay at Chelsea because Pochettino is unlikely to put him in the plans this season.
Indeed but we are already seeing several similat conditions, even between Milan and Inter. Well, about Lukaku, currently the relationship between Lukaku and the Chelsea coach is not good. Lukaku is not feel bad by his coach. So it's normal if Lukaku wants to leave his current club. Apart from Roma , AC Milan has also been linked with him, but I'm not sure about this rumour. Juventus are reportedly making a £35million bid for Lukaku, and the last one is Al-Hilal who is also reported ready to sign him. Will see, he will be to Serie-A or Saudi Pro. Quite interesting too, because there are still clubs in Serie A who are interested in recruiting Lukaku. What's more, the clubs interested in Lukaku almost of them are big clubs in Serie A. Thus, there is no good reason if Chelsea reject the proposal that came from one of the big clubs in Serie A. Because of course, the offer submitted is not small money either, at least it would be better for Chelsea to sell Lukaku as soon as possible. Because it is useless if Chelsea hold it, if in fact Lukaku is not included in Chelsea's plans this season. |

Chelsea are expected to compete in the top 6 this season, but Pochettino has a chance to compete in the top 4 if he manages to find a solution to his team's performance problems. Many Chelsea players still lack confidence in a match, so of course that makes the team fail to perform well.
Chelsea's performance in the Premier League will be put to the test once more when they host Luton on Friday. The only times the two sides have faced off was in the FA Cup, which Chelsea won both times and not in the premier league. This is the first time Luton is appearing in the premier league, and they are playing against the Chelsea team that has won them in their FA Cup meeting twice(2021 and 2022). The outcome of tomorrow's game will tell me whether Pochettino is ready to take Chelsea to the top spot. Chelsea can't afford to lose another 3 points to a team that is new to the premier league. I agree that they have to win, still Chelsea has to win and that is a heavy load to bear, particularly when they are not particularly on a hot streak. Luton town will play with much less at stake, for them a draw is a great result and a loss is not particularly bad. Lol, even though Chelsea managed to beat Luton but of course, that's not as a benchmark for Chelsea to be better. It's very funny if you make the parable for Chelsea playing against Luton to be a measure of success or revival for Chelsea. Because after all Luton is only a promoted team and of course, Luton does not have the quality that can be compared to Chelsea at all. So, if Chelsea manages to beat Luton, but that result cannot be a measure of success for Chelsea. However, if Chelsea fail to beat Luton, then of course that can be used as a benchmark for failure for Chelsea and also Pochettino this moment. |
