Anderlecht are also having a poor performance in the local league this season, and it looks like the bad results will continue in the Europa Conference League because Anderlecht can't make much effort to make a good attack on the Villarreal defense. But even so, Anderlecht were still lucky enough to get a goal back and of course it was a goal that had to happen because this was Anderlecht's home game.
But, if Villarreal has big ambitions to score several goals in this match, then I'm pretty sure Villarreal will be able to beat Anderlecht in this match. I hope Villarreal won't get complacent if they only lead with one goal, because if Villarreal underestimates the opponent, it might be a blunder which will certainly be regretted at the end of the game.

By eliminating Paris Saint Germain from the Champions League, it will make them focus more on Ligue 1, and it will make other clubs uncomfortable because it is certain that they will appear more dominating than when Paris Saint Germain was still in the Champions League. For the umpteenth time, Paris Saint Germain has failed in this prestigious competition, which they really want to win there, they have even been eyeing it for many seasons. They have done everything they can, including buying many star players, but that has not made it easy for them to be able to realize what they have wanted so far.
Well, PSG in Ligue 1 is now confirmed to win the title but unfortunately, PSG has been eliminated from the Coupe de France so PSG at this moment no longer has a lot of pressure. Because of these results, of course, PSG will have a lot of freedom to play in Ligue 1 and I think it will also be good if Christophe Galtier makes a lot of experiments when playing against lower-ranked teams to play second-tier players or apply a different strategy with main players. But if this is not implemented, then PSG's main players, especially Mbappe, who of course has the target of maintaining his position at the top of Ligue 1's top scorers. But, speaking of Mbappe, is Mbappe really going to leave PSG at the end of this season? or not, because Mbappe really wants to play in a team that can go further in the Champions League and PSG is not the right team. |

I believe it's time that all those who were making noise about PSG being the favourite team to win the champion league because of it new signings, will now have reasons to keep quite and let football decide for itself. So many were predicting base on the side with more star players, but I never had any doubt of the outcome of the match between Bayern and psg cuz I already new experience will play a big role in the match, and in this cause, Bayern is more favoured. If u ask me, I'm seeing Bayern and Real Madrid in the final
They have their own views and judgments, so it doesn't matter what they believe or not. After all, now it has been proven which team is better because the team that can go further is of course the better team. It doesn't matter about key players getting injured and/or out of action, because the best teams always have a way to rotate players with the right strategy. Next, let's just wait and enjoy their game because I think even Bayern Munich and Real Madrid cannot guarantee to advance to the final round. Because, even though in the round of 16 Real Madrid and Bayern Munich look very good but still, for the next round they will face more difficult resistance than their opponents. |

IMO I don't think 13th place Augsburg won't be a problem for the league leaders since Dortmund are still behind at 2nd position and the competition is even getting very hot for Bayern at this moment but can the injuries at Dortmund allow them keep up the pace? Time would tell. Well for Bayern it would be business as usual, big win massive score line and they are getting all 3pts against Augsburg this Saturday.
Is it too easy for Munich to get 3 points against Augsburg? At least I don't think so. Bayern Munich is a very strong team. And Augsburg's position is 13th in the table. Still, the Augsburg team should not be underestimated. Bayern Munich has won 3 of their last 5 matches against Augsburg and lost 2. So there is no chance to say that Munich will win easily in the next match. Augsburg will definitely try to get the points. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, okay? True, Bayern Munich won against PSG, but Augsburg might be full of surprises. There are too many unknowns in football to make any solid predictions. Maybe Augsburg has something in their sleeve that will throw off Bayern Munich's game plan. Or, perhaps the Bayern Munich team will be feeling tired and decide to nap throughout the game. Sure, it's a stretch, but you see where I'm going with this. Don't rush to judgment until we see what happens on the field. However, I really want Bayern to make some mistakes so as Dortmunch can have some advantages in the race Matches in the local league are different from other tournaments and the team that is in a lower position still does not guarantee that the team in the top position will win easily and also, to make a prediction, an assessment is needed before the match starts. So it's only natural if someone says Bayern Munich will win and also lose before the start of the match, because if this isn't done, then how do they predict to choose the betting options they will determine. But yes, this season Bayern Munich has had two defeats and the first defeat Bayern Munich has experienced this season in the Bundesliga was losing by Augsburg. So, taking that into account, this match will be for revenge, because a big team like Bayern Munich will certainly be able to do well, so I'm sure Bayern Munich will win the match against Augsburg. |

I'm optimistic United will win their game over Betis. after all, the defeat to Liverpool in the previous week was not a disaster for Ten Hag and his team.
The loss to Liverpool was very embarrassing both to players and coach. Manchester United will win today because they will want to remove the embarrassment from their eyes. Manchester United have been identified as potential winners of the Europa competition, I think they have the ability to live up to what is expected from them. Manchester United will win Real Betis, they have the home advantage in this first game, and that will really help. Playing at home is of course the right moment to restore their morale, because even though the previous big defeat made a bit of a bad impact, as a big team, of course, Manchester United can recover quickly. So yes, playing against Betis is basically not a difficult obstacle for Manchester United, because the Manchester United squad in the Erik ten Hag era had good quality. But yes, in football anything can happen and if Betis can capitalize on the emotional instability of the Manchester United squad then maybe Betis will also be able to beat Manchester United. Anyway, this match will still be interesting because in knockout rounds like this, all teams will play with great effort and it will not be easy for them to win in matches like this because they need to make great efforts to win. |

The win of Lazio over Napoli does not make Serie A more exciting because Scudetto is mostly in two hands of Napoli already. They are just counting down till a day they are able to lift the cup.
This defeat did not make Napoli threatened. For Inter Milan, if they want to replace Napoli, they have to be able to win 6 matches and can't lose or draw. However, this must also be followed by consecutive defeats by Napoli in 5 matches. If we look at Napoli schedule, there are 4 crucial matches that must be faced, vs Atalanta, AC Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina and Inter Milan. If these 4 matches Napoli lose, it will make Serie-A competition even more interesting if Inter wins in succession. Unfortunately, Inter inconsistency prevented that opportunity. that scenario is not going to happen. Napoli is still strong enough to be at the top. even though they haven't locked the championship title this season, their performance will not be bad by losing 5 times in a row and waiting for Inter Milan to catch up. Napoli has only lost 2 times, and they have beaten Atalanta, Milan, and even Juventus. their meeting again will not be so difficult for Napoli. now they are at the top, and Napoli will be very focused on that. Anyway, with Napoli being firmly at the top of Serie A, I think it's still interesting because Serie A has won the Scudetto with a different team every season after the loss of Juventus' dominance. Also, I think the teams you mentioned for the next Napoli match, I thought they would be played back to back but in fact they weren't. So with the normal schedule that Napoli has, then of course Napoli will not get consecutive defeats. Although for example, Napoli against big teams in a row also I'm sure that Napoli will not lose because Napoli can still get 1 point for a draw. So any scenario at this moment is indeed difficult to bring down Napoli, because Napoli's current point gap is safe to remain at the top of the Serie A standings. |

But unfortunately, after Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah were injured, it is now reported that Leandro Trossard is also injured. It looks like Mikel Arteta will have to think hard about setting up his attack line later and maybe Gabriel Martinelli will be the main striker in this match.
The injury to Trossard at such an important time is very heart Breaking, team rotation is going to be Arteta's best bet for a victory. Reiss Nelson may be starting for Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe in Martinelli's former position. Fabio Vieira also looks to be staring in place of Odegaard, with Takehiro Tomiyasu for Zichenko and Jakub Kiwior for Gabriel in central defense. If this team line up stands, I think Reiss Nelson will later move to Emile Smith-Rowe's position and Saka may be subbed in later, just as Odegaard too. Regardless of how my club lines up, I hope we can win against Sporting in their home while we wait for them to visit the Emirates. The injured players are more experienced by the forwards so I think maybe it's not so bad, because rotation can still be done by playing a midfielder temporarily as a forward. Yes indeed, with this rotation, Arsenal's attack is not as good as playing pure players in positions left behind, but if they can still play with good chemistry then the rotations carried out will at least give good results. Anyway, I believe Arsenal can still do well in the Europa League but unfortunately, if injuries persist then Arsenal will have serious problems for their position in the Premier League. Also, at least Arsenal can still breathe easy because Sporting at this moment is also not very good, but that doesn't mean Arsenal will beat Sporting easily. Because the quality of the team is not optimal, at least Arsenal can still play with a draw or not lose in the first leg or away match against Sporting. |

Who would have imagine that Villareal will be on 6th place in LaLiga after such a devastating start of the season with defeats in a row and draws in a row that really dragged them down but after a while they start to find again that pace from last season and look where they are now...back on European spots like they are used to.  Villarreal's current standings are pretty good, it's nice to see them in the top 6 teams. But their fixtures in the coming weeks are quite difficult, their opponents will usually be strong teams. They have matches of Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Real Madrid and Osasuna ahead of us. All of these teams are pretty close to Villarreal and they are strong teams  That's why I think their ranking in the league will change. Villarreal will lose a few matches again In my view and assessment of Villarreal, basically Villarreal is a team that deserves to be in the top six. So, even though Villarreal is currently in sixth place, for me it's a natural thing and it's not something special, it doesn't matter if Villarreal has experienced a deep drop before, because this can happen to all teams. Also, normally Villarreal and Valencia don't have that much of a gap but at this moment, they really have a very wide gap and Valencia is in danger of being relegated. Anyway, Villarreal at this moment also still has a schedule in the Europa Conference League, so if this season Villarreal finishes in sixth place again this season, then there are still no significant changes for Villarreal this season. |

Coach Graham Potter should just ensure the talents of Chelsea are effectively harnessed because they have plenty.
Yeah, they absolutely have an array of talents in their team, so much so that it becomes queer that they are having to go through this sort of rough patch, i think it is as a result of a new manager, new hierarchy at the club and new personnel too, everything looks disjointed at Chelsea, and that is prolly why they are yet to find their feet. Having said that, i have said it a couple of times already, and i would reiterate again that i don't have faith in Graham Potter, i don't believe he has that elite mentaility to bring the best out of these quality players Chelsea have. The win against Borussia Dortmund took some of the pressure off his shoulders, but contrary to what quite a lot of people believe, i don't think Chelsea are back, it's very possible that they could lose to Leicester City this weekend. Chelsea have the players, but i don't think they've got the right manager and i am not giving them any chance of a trophy this season, nor the top four. Boehly seemed impressed when Potter managed to mold Brighton and maybe Boehly thought, maybe Potter will be able to do the same at Chelsea so Boehly can sack Tuchel very suddenly. Anyway, this incident is hard to forget but indeed, in Potter's first few weeks at Chelsea at least Potter was still able to give good results for Chelsea. But as time went on, we all agreed that Potter did not have the good skills to handle a team as big as Chelsea, who were always required to get good results in every match. I also agree, Chelsea's passage to the quarter-finals in the Champions League cannot be assumed as a resurrection. Because after all, a team that rises certainly has the ability to be consistent. But at this moment Chelsea can't do that and of course, Potter's contract at Chelsea won't last much longer either. |

Lol, PSG couldn't score in the round of 16 because PSG got the final result 2-0 in the second leg and 1-0 in the first leg. As a team that dominates Ligue 1 and even though PSG were knocked out in the round of 16, PSG should still be able to provide a good fight by at least scoring a few goals.
But what happened was that PSG looked like a mediocre team in the round of 16 and even during the group phase PSG didn't look like a strong team.
In fact, PSG already have a squad with good quality and also, they have a new coach but still failed. Do not understand what is actually happening internally at PSG, so that PSG cannot play as expected in this Champions League and PSG is still very weak if they have to compete in Europe's highest competition.

Everyone can lose a match and Lazio Roma is of course still a big name in Italian football, even though they lost to AZ yesterday for the Conference League. Perhaps Napoli will also loosen the reins a bit, by the way, they are still 15 points ahead despite the defeat last week. Championship is 99% already in. The question is who will become 2nd, inter seems to have the best papers due to the current ranking, but given the game image there are even more teams that can claim 2nd place.
Actually for Napoli I think keeping a few players and getting a draw is still pretty good as long as they can focus first on the Champions League. The margin is still quite far even though the hope remains that they will win the match. But if it's like that the tough competition like the previous season will really be lost for this season's trophy hunt. In fact, with a very wide gap in points like that, then of course Napoli can be sure to win the title. So, even though Napoli is also focused on the Champions League, this will not affect its position in the Serie A standings. But regarding which team or who will be the runner-up, basically this cannot be determined because of the gap in points between Inter and the teams below it, such as Lazio, AS Roma and Milan are still quite close. After all, it's too soon to determine who will be the runner-up because even so, there are still many who doubt Napoli at this moment even though Napoli's points have been very wide and safe. What's more, with the position of the team below him or the team's competition under Napoli which still has points close together, then of course this still doesn't fully promise a definite result. |

 Even though my multi bet failed in the first leg but I will still do the same in the second leg this time. Now the chance can still do that I think. The condition of Bayern is still my favorite and I agree with the bookie as well as Tottenham who previously lost in the first leg. In another match I have no doubts about Manchester City and I even made another bet that City could score more than 2 goals there. Great, you can wait a long time for the final result, because Manchester City will just play next week and for me personally, I can't wait for the results of bets, so I won't apply bets like that. But about multi bets, I'm happy with this method, but usually I only enter matches that will be played on the same day. But yes, regarding the teams that you choose in the multiple bets, basically these teams are indeed projected to win. But in the Champions League there are often unexpected results, so even though we choose teams that on paper will win and also with seeded odds, in reality this still doesn't guarantee us an easy win. |

Liverpool in the next match will play away against Bournemouth and currently Bournemouth are at the bottom of the standings, so I think for the next match Liverpool still looks to have the ability to win. But unfortunately, Liverpool will really get tough opponents after playing against Bournemouth. Because after Liverpool play against Bournemouth, then Liverpool had to play against Real Madrid in the Champions League and worse, after that Liverpool had to play against Manchester City, Cheslea and also Arsenal.
With the tough opponents that Liverpool will face after the Champions League, I think the rotation that will be made is unlikely to allow Liverpool to consistently achieve the expected results or win in every match. It will be a tough schedule, but if Liverpool can get a good result either win or draw then of course Liverpool will be able to ensure a top four finish.

1 loss, 2 draws and 2 wins in the last 5 matches, is not a good result for Real Madrid. They lost 7 points in those 5 matches and made them further away from Barcelona. If we compare the results of Barcelona's matches, it means that Real Madrid have lost 4 which further distanced them from their main rival, because Barcelona has only lost 1 of the same number of matches as El Real.
Well, for me it's a reasonable result because Real Madrid's performance this season is not very good, unless Real Madrid was in good consistency before and then got results like that, then it can be said that it has decreased. But if we compare the last five matches at this moment, then at least Barcelona got worse results because Barcelona lost by a team in the relegation zone. So yes, after all Barcelona did well in La Liga after appointing Xavi as coach and that was also the case last season. So it's not surprising that this season Barcelona has good consistency in La Liga, because it looks like Xavi is a specialist in La Liga and that is proven by the results that have been obtained so far or while Xavi has been Barcelona coach. |

After all, it's only one match and doesn't happen repeatedly or often, so that result still can't be used as a benchmark for the next match. Also, each team has different results in different competitions, so the result of Manchester United's big defeat in the Premiere League, of course, will be different for Manchester United's result in the Europa League.
If they forget about Manchester United's results in the Premiere League, and start considering the final result when Manchester United beat and eliminated Barcelona in this Europa League. So of course, Manchester United are still very good in the Europa League and of course they still have a chance to qualify for the next round.
I'm pretty sure the woeful and shameful displayed Manchester United won't be the same when they face Former Manchester City manager Pellegri who also should be watched closely. He's won Manchester United countlessly during his stay I hope this ain't another. I expect goals tommorow bit not to loss to Real Betis at least, I see more of a zero zero game tommorow. The loss to Liverpool won't ams shouldn't affect us, with pain one can bounce back better amd that's where gold is really. The loss won't send Real Betis knocking United out. Yes, after all, when Pellegrini became coach of Manchester City and was able to beat Manchester United, at that time the situation and condition of Manchester United was also in a very worrying decline. But at this moment, Betis are also not as good as the previous season in La Liga, but about Manchester United who lost big in yesterday's match but in reality Manchester United's position is still fine. With good trends that are slightly different from these two teams, then of course Manchester United is basically a top team with better quality. So I'm sure playing against Betis in the Europa League will still be able to score some goals and of course, Erik ten Hag will give a good result for Manchester United. |

After being eliminated from the UCL round of 16, now Dortmund will return to focus on the next bundesliga match. There were positive and negative sides to this result, but now Dortmund is more able to use all its strength to be able to compete for the Bundeliga title with Bayern Munich. Coach Edin Terzic doesn't seem to want to bother with last night's defeat against Chelsea in the UCL and can return to fixing his players with the aim of winning the Bundesliga this season.
Bundesliga is the only way for dortmund to get trophy. I see no reason for dortmund to not focus with bundesliga. Dortmund's players look so arrogant during the match against chelsea but they must move on. They have another chance that will come next season. The next match gonna be easy match for dortmund but i don't even wanna underestimate schalke as schake is having possibility to force the result from the match to be draw. It seems like that if terzic wanna try to use bundesliga as a way to make bring back again the spirit and mentality from its players. Dortmund has a very good odds at this moment too. If that is an option, then it is right if Dortmund chooses to focus more on the Bundesliga. Because to compete in the Champions League is of course very difficult, and if for example Dortmund continues to advance in the Champions League Dortmund will eventually be eliminated and disrupt its focus on the Bundesliga. Therefore, at this moment Dortmund really need to be more consistent in the Bundesliga and it will be a good record because it will end Bayern Munich's successive title in the Bundesliga. But regarding the next match between Schalke v Dortmund, I personally really believe Dortmund will still win in this match. Because at this moment Schalke's performance is also bad, so even though Schalke can play well, I think this is not enough for Schalke to be able to hold Dortmund, who are on a high consistency in the Bundesliga. |

If we consider PSG's performance at this moment, it seems that it is indeed difficult for PSG to beat Bayern Munich. But if I consider the results that happened with Chelsea, then whatever the result is, it is still very open in this match as well as for the second leg between Bayern Munich v PSG.
Because after all, Bayern Munich also only had a 1-0 win in the first leg and with such a very low aggregate win, then I think the PSG squad can still turn things around. In fact, these two teams have squads that both have good quality but for PSG, at least PSG has a lot of senior star players so hopefully they can have a good impact on PSG's gameplay in this match.
Actually I believe in PSG but Bayern Munich are a mentally strong opponent in the champions league but if you say that it is true anything can happen including Chelsea also in a bad condition able to qualify and beat Dortmund 2-0 despite losing on aggregate earlier, on the other hand, we see that the betting odds are quite large for PSG, no matter how tempting it is, the risk is still big. The problem is that this is at home to Bayern Munich, which in my opinion is what makes it difficult for PSG while we can only rely on Messi and Mbappe who can hope to change things in the match, because we know PSG have not had good experience while in the Champions League competition. Yes indeed, but about experience I think Mbappe still doesn't have enough experience in the Champions League but yes, as a top player, of course Mbappe can build his confidence well because previously Mbappe could also play well in the World Cup. Apart from that, if I compare the odds available for Chelsea and PSG, of course they are very different, so based on the odds, we cannot conclude that both have the same chance. But when it comes to any results that can happen, then of course as a top team, PSG will not lose the chance to win in this second leg as well. Therefore, I personally am quite sure that this match will be very open, and that will allow both teams to score goals. |

It seems that some fans are more intimidated at the result Manchester united had in their domestic league clasgg against Liverpool. I believe it is long enough to stop using that as a tip on predicting how their performance will be in the Europa league. United was doing extremely well before the appalling lose, losing 7 goals does not mean they will be a drop in their form. I think it was just a bad at for Hag, and what was meant to happened had happened. Man u will their next Europa league match.
The victory of Liverpool against Manchester United can't be a reason Manchester united to be in the worst state of performance. That very game was unexpected and maybe the strategy Manchester United used in playing the game didn't favour them but was a favour to Liverpool. The is that Manchester United are in a good form and Erik Ten Hag has worked on the team that they can be able to win most of their game. Time will tell if truly the victory of Liverpool will become a problem to Manchester United in their remaining games. Liverpool has been struggling too this season, and performing well in this last game is not very sure they will continue to perform in the same manner in every game. After all, it's only one match and doesn't happen repeatedly or often, so that result still can't be used as a benchmark for the next match. Also, each team has different results in different competitions, so the result of Manchester United's big defeat in the Premiere League, of course, will be different for Manchester United's result in the Europa League. If they forget about Manchester United's results in the Premiere League, and start considering the final result when Manchester United beat and eliminated Barcelona in this Europa League. So of course, Manchester United are still very good in the Europa League and of course they still have a chance to qualify for the next round. |

AC Milan has a very important game today. namely Milan will play tottenham in the second leg of the round of 16 in the UCL. I'm not sure if Milan can win in this second leg. after seeing Milan have to lose to Fiorentina in the match 3 days ago in Serie A made me a little pessimistic about Milan's performance in the match against Tottenham in the UCL. but I hope Milan can maintain the advantage they achieved from the first leg.
Milan's performance in Serie A imo is very standard, nothing special and Pioli has made an official statement that the final target for Milan's current season is a ticket for next season's UCL, which means finishing in the top 5. alluding to milan in UCL, after leg 1 they managed to win 1-0 over Tottenham so in this leg 2 milan only needs a draw so they have the right to advance to the next round. giroud - diaz - leao are not at their best (just imagine milan being beaten 2-1 by fiorentina) so I don't expect much from Milan in the 2nd UCL leg later, my prediction is Tottenham will win. To get a ticket for the Champions League next season, not in the top five but in the top four, and at this moment Milan is still in fifth place in the Serie A standings. This means that Milan still can't be sure of getting a ticket for the Champions League next season. But even so, the points for second, third, fourth and fifth positions in the Serie A standings are still very close so that it is still possible for Milan to compete to be able to finish in the top four. With these considerations in mind, I personally really believe that the four teams will not really be able to be consistent in winning every match in Serie A. So, competition for that position will of course continue until the end of the season. |

Odds for PSG to win the second leg is @4.2 hehe. I would normally take that rare chance on a team led by Messi or Mbappe but I'll pass this time hehe. It's just unfortunate that the odds for both teams to score is only @1.4 I would certainly place a bet if it's around @1.7
They have nothing to lose at this point so they will attack from the start for sure and try to disrupt Munich's rhythm early on. I'm still with the German team to qualify to the next round.
If we consider PSG's performance at this moment, it seems that it is indeed difficult for PSG to beat Bayern Munich. But if I consider the results that happened with Chelsea, then whatever the result is, it is still very open in this match as well as for the second leg between Bayern Munich v PSG. Because after all, Bayern Munich also only had a 1-0 win in the first leg and with such a very low aggregate win, then I think the PSG squad can still turn things around.
