Only 0-0 after the first half between Lazio and Juventus.
The second half has just begun and the three points are fundamental for the Turin team, otherwise if Roma will win they would really risk fourth place.
Furthermore, we must consider the fact that the Jvuentus calendar is not at all easy as there are still many direct matches so it will be hell for them
It’s almost 80 minutes and Lazio is still looking very difficult to beat by Juventus. In fact, Lazio is dominating the match with both ball possession, passes accuracy, shots on goal and dangerous attacks overall in the match, I think if Juventus is not carful, they might lose again this week which will limit their chance of qualifying to the Champions league next season. Juventus might draw the match if their lucky, because Lazio is also good at home against Juventus. The Italian Serie A game between Lazio and Juventus is over and the Roman based club was able to claim all three points from the game after they scored a goal in the additional time of the match. Juventus who started the season on a very good note went from being considered as one of the strongest contenders for the Italian Serie A title to become a team that's now struggling to win games and that I think is embarrassing to club of with their kind of quality players they possess. Another game in the Italian Serie A today that caught my attention was game between Napoli and Atalanta as the visitors ran away with a win in a game that many had predicted a win for the home team. Napoli started their title defense on a very bad note but after the club management sacked two managers of the club this season, I thought their results have finally improved under current manager but the disappointing result today against Atlanta in at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium shows that they're far from being considered as a team that's improved |

 An unknown Premier League club have made a verbal enquiry for Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, according to Sky in Germany
The 23-year-old has impressed in his first season at Leverkusen having scored 16 goals in just 23 appearances in all competitions
Sky in Germany claim Leverkusen want to keep the Nigerian but would be willing to talk to clubs if offers of more than £47.2m (€55m) are made this summer Sky_Live: https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11095/12476234/transfer-centre-live-bayer-leverkusen-striker-victor-boniface-attracting-premier-league-interestI don't know if this news is actually true or not. But in general, I can expect a lot of clubs to actually be interested in him. Because he has shown good performance with Leverkusen. And his team has also done really well in this season. So I think we can expect a lot of clubs to actually pursue him. And I also believe if Leverkusen can win the Bundesliga title, which is very much possible by the way, his market value is also going to increase. There's this one advice I'll give for free, don't believe every trends you see or hear regarding the transfer window. We know more trends will be flowing in. There are special players that are keen in executing good contributions to their perspective clubs. Bayer Leverkusen should be firm and focused on winning the Bundesliga title this season, Victor Boniface have transformed to be one of the significant players in Bayer Leverkusen and his presence really matters for the club's progress. Boniface is a funny player that keeps back to back tweets on X/Twitter. We're getting close to the summer transfer window so as expected, many speculations and rumours about the future of player but the truth is that majority of the rumours aren't gonna materialize during the summer. Victor Boniface started the season on a very good note and was scoring lots of goals but unfortunately for him, he picked up injury in the beginning of the year which has sidelined him from playing football since then but judging by the recent reports about him, he's very likely to come back to full action in no distant time. The rumour that a certain English Premier League club is making efforts to sign him I don't think might be true but if for any reason he joins an English Premier League club this summer, i think he'll make a good transfer for any team that'll sign him because he's already shown that he has all it takes to succeed im the league |

Another two-minute flip from Bayer Leverkusen. They really take their unbeaten streak seriously. Even a draw is not enough, they turn around and win all the games they are behind. I've never seen a team like this. We're witnessing something we haven't seen for a long time. They want to end the season undefeated. They deserve to win everything.
I was surprised to see Bayern Leverkusen struggle to beat Hoffenheim in the league, even though they were at home. Late goals from Andrich and Schick were enough to give Bayern Leverkusen the needed three points against Hoffenheim. With this 2-1 home win, Bayern Leverkusen is still leading Bayern Munich by 10 points in the Bundesliga table. Leverkusen have won this way very often, I don't think this is luck but they do have quite good quality, the late goal they got to turn things around was because of the never give up spirit which they continued to do by attacking Hoffenheim's defense until the end. they were only able to score a goal at the end of the match. Leverkusen is still very strong at the top of the standings and I think no team can beat Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season. Again, Bayer Leverkusen have proven that they're a team who's determined enough to end the season with the German Bundesliga title at the end of the season with their scintillating come back against Hoffenheim today in the German Bundesliga. When Hoffenheim scored in the first half to lead in the game, it didn't change my prediction that Bayer Leverkusen will still win the game but after 80 minutes of the game, Bayer Leverkusen were still trailing by a goal to nil which made to think that they might likely lose their first league game of the season. Bayer Leverkusen scored two goals in three dying minutes of the game to make sure they claimed all three points from the game and mount pressure on second placed Bayern Munich who lost to Borussia Dortmund. The German Bundesliga title I think is 85% won by Bayer Leverkusen' and what a time it'll be for the club manager Xabi Alonso to end Bayern Munich's dominance |

Newcastle United managed to defeat West Ham 4-3.I think it was a super result for Newcastle, who made a nice comeback.Newcastle United, who closed the first half 2-1 down and then fell behind 3-1 in the 48th minute, seemed difficult to turn the game around, but they managed to do it.Both teams have no goals left in the league, but seeing such struggles shows how high the league is still at the top level and every match is taken seriously.
Sheffield united, on the other hand, drew 3-3 with Fulham at home.The first half of the match ended scoreless and in the second half there was a rain of goals.We can think that people started to get bored after the first half ended, but a completely different second half was played.We can say that the fact that the teams scored 6 goals in the second 45 minutes brought excitement and color to the match.
The Newcastle United game today against West Ham without is the most thrilling game of the day in the English Premier League but what actually caught my attention was the result of the game after fully time. Newcastle were the first team to score in the game after Aleksander Isak converted from the spot but after West Ham scored three goals to turn the scoreline around, I was of the opinion that it was going to be an away win for the visitors but little did I know that Newcastle can make a come back and claim all three points from the game. Newcastle United are still in contention to finish the season in a position that'll guarantee them an European football next season amd if they can continue with the kind of resilient performance i saw today, they will likely achieve that aim |

Napoli vs Atlanta will be the first Serie A match this week after the international break ends, this match will be a very interesting match in my opinion, at the moment Napoli are in seventh place and if they win of course Napoli will take Atlanta position in 6th, currently the Europa League zone is the most realistic target for Napoli and I think beating Atlanta can further pave their way to get Europa League tickets next season, Although it is difficult, but I think Napoli will be able to beat Atlanta in the match, especially in the last match Napoli managed to hold Inter Milan draw with score 1-1.
My prediction is Napoli 2-0 Atlanta.
For the Juventus and Lazio matches, it seems that the match will also be quite exciting, because both of them currently need a win to end their negative trend in Serie A, and I think with the conditions and performance of the two teams that are not much different at this time maybe Juventus will win with a narrow score especially so far Juventus has a good record when meeting Lazio,
My prediction is Lazio 1 vs 2 juventus.
The match between Napoli vs Atalanta will be opening match for games week 30 after international break out almost two week, right now some teams fight top fourth position standings and some other teams try out from relegation zone. Napoli still drop on 7th position standings and try for getting Champion League or Europe League spot standings and has three difficult matches left from Atalanta, AS Roma and Bologna will be team loss points for Napoli. Last match, Napoli success hold draw Inter Milan and must be capital for facing Atalanta in front of their home and take three points to make easily reach Europe League spot place. The other interested match on games week 30 between Juventus vs Lazio, both teams have bad trend performance and Juventus want to get top fourth position must defeat Lazio in this week or potential drop from fourth position standings place and fail qualify to champion league. Napoli who happens to be the current reigning champions of Italy have failed to live up to the expectations of many especially their club fans this after winning the Italian Serie A title last season with a good number of points difference ahead of the second team. After run of poor results that made the club management to sack two of two managers that were managing the team this season, the club seem to be back on track with the current manager but I think it's already too late for them to finish the season in the top four of the league table. They face Atalanta this weekend and considering the performance of both teams in recent games, I think it'll be a difficult game for either side but I expect Napoli to either win the game or at least get a draw. |

Agree. When people talk about Mbappe leaving, they seem to forget that besides him, PSG is full of star players, and if we talk about strikers, there are at least 2 more great ones besides him.
PSG will have no problem continuing to dominate Ligue 1, their only problem is reaching their long-term goal of the Champions League, but even City were able to achieve this goal after years of dominating the Premier League (which is definitely stronger than Ligue 1).
With the privilege he currently has and with the media always making a scene about Mbappe, it is quite natural that when talking about PSG, Mbappe is the first player to be remembered because after all, at this time he is the one who will not be separated from the news, even the smallest thing he does will definitely become a headline so it doesn't mean that the other players are not very good, it's just that they are covered by Mbappe in the squad. Let's just say that at the moment he has too much drama but indeed it can be a situation that is quite commensurate because indeed the performance he shows is also quite good so it will be very natural if indeed he is always in the spotlight first because indeed in terms of individuality skills if you look at the current comparison, Mbappe is still above average for PSG players especially some players who are always in other headlines such as Messi and Neymar are not in the squad so surely the focus will now belong to Mbappe. One thing we must not fail to understand is that the sports media majorly discusses about players that are globally recognized because talking about them draws the attention of many to whatever news that has to do with them and when you talk about the top three best footballers in the world at the moment Kylian Mbappe will easily be among them. The constant news about the France international isn't just because he's one of the best players in the world but also because he's expected to leave French champions Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season and for a player of his calibre, the media will always come up with something to say about him. That being said, Kylian Mbappe before he leaves Paris Saint Germaine at the end of this season, wants to make sure he wins as many trophies as possible for Paris Saint Germaine which the UEFA Champions League trophy is at the top of his priority |

Real Madrid is playing very well this season and they were also able to bring in new players when they out of a sudden had to deal with injuries. Both Courtois and Vinicius Junior are key players ad while they found a great solution for Courtois, which was hard enough, it was difficult to do the same for Vinicius Junior when he was injured. But he is back and living up to his full potential. Barcelona won't get close to them, but to put it in a nutshell whether there is still a chance for the title race to become close, it will all be about matchday 32. The clasico will decide whether there is going to be some fighting until the end.
Form always determines the success of any squad. Real Madrid is in good condition this season, and there is not much doubt that they will win the La Liga, since I do not believe Barcelona will be able to compete with them. Real Madrid is already eight points ahead of Barcelona, and they defeated Barcelona in the first leg. With Real Madrid's current form and the points gap they already have, I don't think the El Clasico will determine whether Barcelona can succeed or not, but they should be able to close the gap on Madrid due to their inconsistent play. We have seen in their past games how the results went which does seem to be what an El classico in Laliga was like between Barcelona and Real Madrid years back when players like Messi, iniesta, Xavi and the likes of them were still playing in Barcelona. Right now it's glaring that Real Madrid has hijacked the game with the level of squad they have right now which Barcelona are struggling to match up with coupled with their financial crisis. With the points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid an El classico come April 21st isn't going to make any difference as Real Madrid are still in a better form to beat Barcelona in that game. Where I think Barca's focus should be much on is in the UCL, that's where they can bring greater joy to their fans if they be able to lift the title buy I doubt if they will also have a chance there too. Real Madrid haven't been a perfect team since the current season started but they've been consistently impressive with their performances both in the Spanish La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League competition while Barcelona on the other hand haven't been able to match up with Real Madrid's impressive results in the Spanish La Liga but were able to reach the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition which Real Madrid will also be playing in. During the days of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at both clubs, competition between them were very fierce but since both players left the two Spanish giants, there's not been much talking points like it used to be when they were present. The two teams meet again in the third weekend of April at the Santiago Bernabeu and considering the performances of both teams since the start of the season, I think it'll be an easy win fkr Carlo Ancelotti's men |

With a difference of 10 points I think it will be difficult to catch Leverkusen. It is almost impossible to expect Leverkusen to lose all 4 matches and Munich to win them all. But Leverkusen did not want to get pressure from Munich. So I think they will still aim to win that game. Hoffenheim is in poor form. I think they will have a hard time winning. It is even difficult for them to get a draw against Leverkusen. After breaking many records in the Bundesliga, such as most wins in a season and longest unbeaten streak, I think Leverkusen will still continue to add to their record statistics.
Its over for catching up Bayern Leverkusen with 10 points left depend on 8 matches left, most of opponent teams face by Bayern Leverkusen are easily and not problem for winning all matches left for getting three points. Next match, Bayern Leverkusen will face Hoffenheim with bad result in last two matches without winning yet and I think Xabi Alonso will be easily take three points and has large chance for winning Bundesliga trophy. Bayern Leverkusen's matches left seems difficult when facing Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, but I think Leverkusen will not losses three points and the other matches left likely easy take three points such as facing Union Berlin, Werder Bremen, Bochum and Augsburg. The competition for the Bundesliga trophy seems to be over, what Bayern can do and hope for now is to reduce the difference in points with Leverkusen. Xabi and his fleet will certainly try their best to finish this season with an unbeaten record, so Bayern chances of closing the gap are also relatively low. Moreover, it is reported that Xabi has agreed to stay, this will clearly provide motivation for the Leverkusen squad to sweep all remaining matches. The match between Leverkusen and Hoffenheim will most likely be easy, where Xabi fleet has a great chance of securing 3 points and re-affirming its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Hoffenheim needs a miracle to create a surprise, I don't think Leverkusen will suffer its first defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim. Regarding the remaining matches ahead, there are indeed several teams that have the potential to stop Leverkusen from achieving full points. However, I am sure that what will happen will be as usual, where Leverkusen will be able to win in these somewhat troublesome matches, and I think Leverkusen will still be reluctant to share points with a number of these clubs. Currently in the German Bundesliga table, Bayer Leverkusen who happens to be at the top of the league are 10 points above second placed Bayern Munich after 26 league games have been played by both teams and despite the fact that the points difference between the two top teams is relatively much, I'm of the opinion that the chase for the German Bundesliga title is far from over. I would've easily given it to Bayer Leverkusen if it wasn't Bayern Munich who has won the league for the past 11 seasons that are competing for the league title with them but since it is Thomas Tuchel's men, Bayer Leverkusen I think still have a lot to play for. There are 8 league games for both teams to play before the end of the season which means that there are 24 more points to fight for by both teams so I think Bayer Leverkusen still needs to remain at the top of their game in other to win the league title at the end of the season |

Xabi Alonso informs Bayern of decision
Xabi Alonso was believed to be a strong contender to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool this summer; Premier League side now expect Bayer Leverkusen boss to remain with Bundesliga leaders next season; Bayern Munich were also keen to appoint former midfielder
It's still a bit tricky at the moment because if we look at some of the recent statements Leverkusen also seem to be taking action by trying to keep Xabi in their squad. This was done following the good performance that has so far been maintained for Leverkusen even the record without losing is still held by Xabi at this time which makes him the only coach in major European competitions who has not lost even once since the season took place. This is obviously a bit tricky because when you consider that Leverkusen allowed Xabi to choose whether he would stay or leave the BayArena, it seems like it would be impossible to leave it at that although all decisions are in Xabi's hands in the end. Currently Liverpool and Bayern are still very close for Xabi as it is possible for Xabi's next destination but it will also not be easy for Leverkusen to just let him go. Because of the very impressive performance of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen since he became the club manager but more precisely this season, the young Spanish manager have attracted the interest of so many top European clubs which Bayern Munich happens to be one of them. I don't want to believe any of the reports that he's going to leave Bayer Leverkusen after this season until he confirms by himself that he's going to leave the club. Xabi Alonso is currently concerned on how to end Bayern Munich's dominance in Germany and win the German Bundesliga title at the end of the season as well as the UEFA Europa League competition so until he achieves his aim with the club, I don't think he'll want to discuss about his future. |

Seeing the Asian teams having a surge in their love towards football is great. Normally we see them in other sports that they enjoy, and they are great there, but they do not care about football as much as we do, and that's why it's such a tough thing for a title team to come out of there.
Not that there would be any now, almost every world cup winner will be either a European team or a Latin American team, that's always the case, but at least we are now seeing other continents to send teams that can beat or go out of the group stages, which is fine and makes it more fun. Not at the championship level yet, but it is good to have like last sixteen or even maybe quarter finals, that means there is an improvement all around the world.
When it comes to global football, the Asian national teams are usually considered to be behind other national teams from other continents like Europe, South America Africa and sometimes below their North American counter parts but considering their recent performances, it's believed that quality of football in the continent have improved significantly. In the last FIFA World Cup, we saw great performances from Asian teams like Saudi Arabia which was unlike them before the World Cup. They're yet to win the FIFA World Cup in history but considering the current growth of football in the continent, there's a possibility that one of them will end them will win it in the nearest future but definitely not in the next edition of you ask me |

 Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1773347653272612877Could it be that I heard wrong? But it seems like this is an inevitable rumor and Barcelona reportedly wants to bring in its former coach from the 2014/2015 season, namely Luis Enrique. Of course we still remember that Luis Enrique led Barcelona to win the treble that season and this will be a much awaited reunion for the Barcelona squad if that happens. However, it certainly won't be easy to convince the Spanish coach because he is still focused with PSG on developing the existing squad further. So I don't think Barcelona will be able to convince him to come back quickly, but if Barcelona still hopes he will come then it might take a long time. We know that his responsibility is still huge after being contracted by PSG last season, but his contract will also end in 2025. So, if his contract with PSG has ended, it is possible that Barcelona could offer a contract to bring back Luis Enrique, but that is if PSG does not extend his contract at the end of the season. Is Luis Enrique the right option to replace Xavi? and if yes, what do you think? This will be difficult for Luis Enrique because Barcelona is now very different, far worse than when he was still Barcelona coach, so if Luis Enrique returns it will be a threat to his coaching career. Luis Enrique is currently the PSG coach and he hasn't proven anything with his new team so personally I really doubt that Luis Enrique can lift the performance of the Barcelona team which is currently slumping in a short period of time. I think this is just a rumor, if Luis Enrique is not successful with PSG this season then he will be encouraged to make the team even better and fulfill management's targets if he is still trusted. And if Luis Enrique is successful at PSG this season it is also unlikely that PSG management will let him go. When I read the report that Barcelona is currently trying to convince Luis Enrique to take over the managerial position at the club after the end of the current season when the club's current manager Xavi Hernandez will leave the club, I didn't take it serious because to me, I feel Luis Enrique will never want to leave his current club Paris Saint Germaine and go to manage a club like Barcelona that's currently in deep financial crises. At his current club, Luis Enrique is provided with some of the best quality players in Europe which will make his work easier so leaving Paris Saint Germaine after just one season at the club I don't think will be possible. Barcelona management should search for a manager that's currently not working for a big club or a top manager that's not without a club at the moment and not a manager that's managing the current biggest club in france.m because I don't think they're ever gonna succeed with that. |

The Saudi League competition only attracts everyone's interest when talking about big teams and of course with European players we can often discuss this. I think it will take a long time if you want to talk about the bottom teams because there are no achievements or accomplishments that can be used as a reference. However, if there is a team that is able to advance to the top 4 then that team will start to attract everyone's attention.
It must be admitted that Al-Hilal cannot be stopped this season and it is clear that they will win the Saudi league title even without Neymar since the start of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have to be willing because in his two seasons with Al-Nassr he was unable to provide anything to the team apart from the Arab Club Champions trophy some time ago. As for the rest, we can see that Cristiano Ronaldo is still very productive in scoring goals, even though this league is not that difficult for him.
The reason why the Saudi Pro is attracting the interest of so many people across the globe is because of the fact that the top clubs in the league are making significant signings especially the ones that involves former European based superstars and that's why a lot of people today talk about the top clubs in the league instead of extending their interests to the bottom clubs in the Saudi Pro League table. Despite the sudden global recognition of the Saudi Pro League, the management of the league still have a lot to do in other to bring them to same level with top European leagues that most people talk about almost every club in those leagues. For now, majority of the people only know about the top five or six teams in the league but if the league continues to improve, many people will still get to know about the lower clubs and talk about them in time to come |

There is no need to compare now Real Madrid, which had the opportunity to strengthen the team in the summer, and Barcelona, which spent the entire season without new transfers and, in addition, some important players, like Dembele, left the team.
Real Madrid's financial situation is much better, so they look better this season, Barcelona in a sense is trying to survive, I'm talking about finances, and in such conditions putting pressure on Xavi was a mistake. I’m almost sure that without Xavi it will be even more difficult for Barcelona, but now nothing can be done, they need to look for a way out of this situation.
Real Madrid has better financial current condition than Barcelona after facing financial crisis more than last several season but Xavi Hernandez success won La Liga tittle last season. I agree with you how Barcelona's management putting Xavi Hernandez on huge pressure without giving much money for signing new players and management huge expected with Barcelona winning La Liga and UEFA Champion League tittle. Its main problem not comparison between how much money spending by management and their target keep impressive performance make Xavi Hernandez announced for leaving Barcelona next season. I don't know for next manager will be success like Xavi without get much money for signing players but management huge target for winning La Liga trophy. Barcelona without doubt have been having financial crisis in recent years which has prevented them from making major signings at the club but that hasn't stopped Xavi Hernandez from delivering great performances at the club since he was appointed as the club manager. As recent as last season, he helped the club to win the Spanish La Liga title and have also been impressive this season as he's lead them to the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition as well making sure they stay in the second position of the league table. I've never read any report that suggests that Barcelona's management is putting any sort of pressure on their manager rather it's Xavi Hernandez that wants to leave the club at the end of the current season. The problem at the club now is that should Xavi Hernandez leave the club at the end of the season, can they get a manager that'll replace him?that I think will be very difficult for them |

I dont know why but i can feel a final between Liverpool and Rome, if Rome has the enoguht luck in his side they can be in the final and De Rossi seems like he have that and plus the players are with him 100%.
For me Leverkusen is not gonna reach the final. They are gonna be very bussy with Bundesliga and they are not so good on head to head.
That possibility could happen, but Roma must beat Milan. Roma actually didn't perform that well, but they could be very strong in the deciding match. Even though I'm not really sure Roma can make it to the final round, the chances are not bad either. while on the other hand, Leverkusen has a good chance this season with the Bundesliga and Europa League. They can achieve big achievements this season and there is no reason to only focus on the Bundesliga. The teams currently in the quarter-finals certainly consider Leverkusen's strength this season. they cannot be underestimated. It seems you didn't understand how the Quarter finals and semi finals draw in the UEFA Europa League competition was made but the f that's the case, I'll do my best to explain a little more for you. Roma and Bayer Leverkusen have been very impressive in the competition since the start of the season but considering how the remaining knockout stages of the competition have been drawn, the two teams can only meet each other in the semi finals should they eliminate their quarter final opponents. So if they meet each other in the semi finals, one will be eliminated while the other one will progress to the finals of the competition. Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool are the two clubs that's been considered as the favorites of the competition and I think the two clubs are going to meet in the final |

Without Harry Kane, I think it is very understandable to say that they are going to lose the attacking power that they have. They will not be as strong as they are with him. And of course, Bayern Munich named Harry Kane and on top of that, he also needs to perform. I am not saying he has to score, even though if he does score it is going to be great. But him being in important positions and situations even off the ball is going to be a great threat for the opponent. And he's a player who knows very well how to do that. Bayern Munich is definitely going to suffer in defense. So they will be really hoping that they will be able to somehow manage that with better offense
Kane currently plays for Bayern Munich as a goalscorer. His contribution to the Bayern Munich team is very important as a striker. But when Kane cannot appear due to injury, then Bayern Munich cannot depend on him which causes them to perform poorly without him on the pitch. Against Dortmund this week, Bayern Munich must win to secure second place in the standings from the shadow of Stuttgart which only has a difference of 4 points. If at the end of the season Bayern fail to finish in second place in the standings because first place is no longer possible, then in their history this will only happen in the 2023/2024 season after the last time they finished in 3rd place in the 10/11 season. Stuttgart chasing Bayern Munich looks impossible because they still have quite a lot of tough matches including against Bayern Munich as well as potential champions this season Bayer Leverkusen so I see there is nothing too worried about Bayern Munich's current position, but of course Bayern Munich hopes to win against Borussia Dortmund and indeed it will be quite difficult to get if their main striker is not fit for the match, even though his position can be replaced by another player, Harry Kane's sharpness cannot be replaced by anyone else, even a striker like Serhou Guirassy striker from Stuttgart is still far behind in the number of goals compared to Harry Kane, so playing without Harry Kane seems to be playing without a goal machine for Bayern Munich. Third placed Stuttgart is just four points behind second placed Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga table and that's why I think it'll be easier for them to catch up with Bayern Munich than Bayern Munich catching up with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The truth is that they'll face Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in their remaining league fixtures of of the season but we can't just write them off totally from catching up with Bayern Munich. There's a good news in the Bayern Munich camp and it has to do with the return of Harry Kane from injury. Reports have it that he trained with the team earlier today and would be fit to play for them this weekend. Harry Kane should be rested for now since the have a crucial game against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League if you ask me but Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel knows what's best for his striker |

The way the Gunners are so eager to get their hands on City is like Man City are the only team they have to beat to win the league title. We know how important this game is for both clubs and I don't think Manchester City have topped the league and stay at the top for more than a day since the beginning of this campaign.
Liverpool have been at the top and now we have the Gunners sitting at the top but City are waiting for the right moment (it could be on Sunday) to be at the top and we know how they did it last season but this time around I feel Arsenal are not going to let it happen again.
Another thing that got me thinking, since the race for the title is a three man horse race, if Arsenal lose or draw to City is it the end for Arsenal to struggle to get to the top and winning the league?🤔
Arsenal were at the top of the English Premier league table for better part of the last season but were stopped from winning the league title at the end of the by a certain Pep Guardiola Manchester City and that's why I'm nit surprised that they're very careful and worried as well knowing fully well that they'll face them in the league this weekend. The international break ended yesterday as players returned to their respective clubs but for Manchester City some of their top players returned with injuries and are major doubts to feature for the club against Arsenal this weekend. Players like Kyle Walker, John Stones, Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and few other picked up injuries during the international break and if none of the above mentioned names will be be fit enough to face Arsenal this weekend, j think it'll be very difficult for Manchester City to get a result against Arsenal. The English Premier League title this season have been more competitive than it's been fo a very long time and I think it's a good advertisement for the league to the rest of the world |

PSG without Mbappe would be interesting too, it's like they have zero chance to win against Barcelona.
I think it makes sense because in the last few matches in the domestic league, PSG had a deadlock when Mbappe was not played and I think it would be an absolute win for Barcelona. Only this time it is clearly different and Mbappe will definitely be played from the start and will even threaten Barcelona's defense for the 90 minutes. The thing that Barcelona is most afraid of is the presence of Mbappe and that is a fact that cannot be avoided. Xavi will definitely ask Araujo to guard him closely and to stop him doesn't just need one player and it will be more than just that. Mbappe is still a frightening specter because apart from being fast, his finishing is great and Ter Stegen definitely has to be able to read the direction of his shot correctly so that it is not easily broken through. It is clear that Mbappe is very dangerous for the opposing defense, because Mbappe also has great individual skills that guarantee a goal for the PSG team. But a tleast, if Barcelona can maximize the attack line to score lots of goals and maximize the defense line to stop Mbappe then yes, at least there is still a chance for Barcelona to win too. Because, atleast at this moment PSG and Barcelona still seem to have qualities that are not much different and as such, I think thismatch will be quite balanced so it will be difficult to determine the winning team in this match . Because after all, if Barcelona can play well then at least Barcelona has a chance to win but unfortunately, Barcelona also sometimes plays badly so it is difficult to score goals and if that happens in this match it will make Barcelona lose. I knew Kylian Mbappe right from when he was a player at AS Monaco of which he helped them win the French league title before joining Paris Saint Germaine on a loan deal that was later turned to a permanent deal but when I think he announced himself to the world was during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and ever since then, the France international has gone up to establish himself as one of the deadliest forward players in football. He's been impressive this season with Paris Saint Germaine and his individual performances is the reason why Paris Saint Germaine qualified to play in the quarter finals of UEFA Champions League competition this season. His team will face Spanish club Barcelona in the in the quarter finals of club football most prestigious competition and because of the presence of Kylian Mbappe at the club, I'm one of many people who are optimistic that Paris Saint Germaine will eliminate Barcelona and reach the semi finals of the competition |

I assume PSG would be the only team Zidane would be interested in if he becomes okay with managing a team again. His wish has been to manage France indeed but it doesn't look like he will get the opportunity in the near future for now. I would really like to see Zidane managing PSG some day. I believe they can be more successful with him. He would only need to be free about building the team according to his own system. PSG have a lot of money so they can do the same as Manchester City have done for Guardiola. But before anything else I don't know whether Zidane would think of such agreement with them.  If Zidane manages PSG, they will certainly do better than their current state in terms of European competitions. Though a lot of people would argue that Real Madrid had star players when he was there, so the job was made easy for him. But given the posture he had with Madrid and the tactics he introduced to the Madrid team, I believe he can do better at PSG. So a lot of people are hungry to see how incredible he can be in another club. PSG is one of the biggest football clubs in his home country France. so for me he should try and give them shot, he has been out of the scene for too long. I'm not too sure if Zidane wants to accept the offer to serve as PSG coach and I remember last season PSG tried to make an offer to Zidane but the skilled coach rejected his offer and if PSG insisted on making a second offer Zidane would definitely also reject it. Yes, we all know how this reliable coach has always succeeded in making a contribution to every club he has ever managed and now it seems like Zidane is smarter in choosing which clubs are worthy of his contribution. PSG has always been known as a club that often replaces coaches when they fail and Zidane doesn't want that to happen which could make its reputation bad and I think PSG doesn't need to keep trying to put hope in Zidane but there is still Mourinho who currently doesn't have a club to coach and PSG could make an offer to him. It's almost a whole three seasons now that Zinedine Zidane left his role as the manager of Real Madrid and is yet to get another coaching job and for a young manager of his age, I think he'll surely want to come back to coaching a top European club as soon as possible but for that to happen, he must first of all get the offer. Reports have it that he's already turned down several offers from top European clubs in the past but I don't think he'll want to turn down an offer from a big club like Paris Saint Germaine should the French champions tables an offer for him during the summer. That being said, I don't think Paris Saint Germaine is ready to get rid of their current manager Luis Enrique anytime soon because he's not been performing bad in his first season with the club. His team is currently leading the in the French league and gave also qualified to play in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League so if they should reach at least the semi finals and also win the French league title, I don't think they'll term it a bad start for the manager |

The thing is that in gambling there is occurrence of mistake and if you have not make a mistake in gambling you have never started because it is not a game of what you can learn and the understand it is a game of opportunity and the lock that is why whenever you see people complaining of gambling neither there are losing in gambling or there are benefiting in gambling do not involve yourself because they know the advantages and the disadvantages of gambling before they entered into gambling, basically I don't like to discuss offer the benefit of gambling and losses of gambling
We all make mistakes but preventing them should also be our priority. That's true, without making a mistake we will not learn but we could also listen to veterans who gambled for years, and that way we may prevent these mistakes firsthand. We will bump into them, there's no doubt about that but because we listened to people who have experienced it then we can avoid them. Emotional mistakes though are different, it will depend on us on how we will tackle them. We have to be ready with greed coming in, stress of losses that might cloud our minds in decision-making, and envy of people who are winning. We cannot let those kinds of emotions get the better of us because that's when we will either lose our money or gain more. Opportunities of winning will definitely come to us but we must also have a plan on when to stop. You said many things here that every gambler should be be informed of before gambling but there's one you said that caught my attention and that's the part you said that it is good for us as gamblers to learn how to ask veterans of the game of their own shortcomings so we can learn from them instead of repeating same mistakes they did. A lot of gamblers today have failed to tackle the issue of making huge mistakes because they failed to failed to learn from the mistakes of people who were already gambling before they were introduced to gambling. When I started gambling, I also did make so many mistakes that are very avoidable but because I didn't ask the necessary questions, I didn't know what way I could avoid such mistakes and that's why I'll advise every new gambler out there to always learn how to ask questions from oldies of the game of gambling in order not to repeat their mistakes |

But what scares me is that if Harry Kane is still absent when Bayern Munich faces Dortmund then that is bad news. Harry Kane is really needed by the Bayern Munich coach to continue winning even though Bayern Munich no longer has a chance to overtake Leverkusen but at least Bayern Munich must return to his best performance and prepare a strategy when facing Arsenal later.
With Harry Kane its not guaranteed that Bayern Munich will win or continue the winning as there was already games that htey dont have won. For sure Kane is a big factor for Bayern Munich in and on the offensive as striker , but they have also other good players that can play for a game there. In my opinion Munich should be focus on the coming Champions League game that Kane will be fully recovered so he can play. I think I disagree because Kane solved exactly the problems that Bayern had the season before. In the most important games they were lacking a world class striker. Of course they have a good number of players who can be a threat for the opponent, but none of them is a 20+ goals player. Sané is great, Muller is great, some other players like Gnabry can be great when they are healthy, Musiala is scoring goals. But Harry Kane was the one element in their game that they were so badly missing. If a player like him misses a match, it does of course have an impact on their game and on the opponent in a positive sense as well. There is just no way for any team to replace a player 1:1 who scored over 30 goals so far in the Bundesliga. But I am sure that Bayern is still the overwhelming favorite in this game as Dortmund lacks consistency and it is rather unlikely that Dortmund will show their A-game just in that moment against Bayern. It is more likely going to be another disaster for Dortmund. Before the arrival of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, the club was struggling to solve the goalscoring problems that's bedeviled them since their former striker Robert Lewandowski left the club and the prolificity of Harry Kane in front of goal this season simply tells how far he's gone to solve that goalscoring problem. The news of his injury I think will be a very big blow to the club and their quest to catch up with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen but that doesn't mean that Bayern Munich will totally not be able to survive without their most important player of the season. Bayern Munich will host last season runners up Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga on Saturday and because of the fact that Harry Kane will not feature in that game, a lot of people are thinking it'll be difficult for Bayern Munich to win that game. Borussia Dortmund haven't been very consistent this season but they surely have been putting out surprising performances in games that they weren't considered as favorites before kickoff and that's why I think they're very capable of beating Bayern Munich even with the presence of Harry Kane in the team. That being said, I'm going to bank on a Bayern Munich win or draw when they face Borussia Dortmund this weekend |
