CFR Cluj doesn't seem to have the good skills to be able to beat big teams in events like this, because Lazio, which looks like they are only maintaining an aggregate win, but CFR Cluj still can't make a shot on target. Therefore, attack after attack that was built by CFR Cluj really couldn't provide a good ending.
But yes, it looks like Lazio also doesn't have big ambitions to win this match, because even though Lazio can control the match well, Lazio doesn't score in this second leg and yes, Lazio still qualify for the next round.

I think Sevilla will still be able to play with an effort not to lose although indeed, losing 2-0 still makes Sevilla qualify for the next round. But I hope Sevilla can end the match with a draw because at least, if Sevilla ends the match with a draw, of course it will be better for their record.
But apart from that, of course congratulations to Sevilla who can still continue to play in the Europa League when the situation and or the team's performance is not good in La Liga. But with results like that, at least it will make Sevilla even better for the next matches both in La Liga and also in the Europa League.

One of the teams from Serie A, Juventus will continue the Europa League match today. Juventus have consecutive winning statistics in their last three Serie A match
Hopefully Juventus' experience in the Europa League will bring a new mentality to their performance in Serie A. I want to see Juventus end the season with a decent position in the standings, can Juventus finish in the top 4 of this Serie A standings this season?
When Juventus received a penalty regarding point deductions and that made Juventus drop to the middle of the Serie A standings, or rather in tenth position if I'm not mistaken. But right now, Juventus has come back closer to the top six as Juventus are currently in seventh place. But unfortunately, Juventus still has a fairly wide gap in points with Roma and Milan who are in third and fourth positions, because Juventus are currently 12 points away from them. Of course, on paper it is a point gap that is difficult to catch. But somehow, I personally am still pretty sure Juventus will still have a chance to be able to end the season in a better position, or at least in the top five but I hope Juventus can still finish in the top four. |

I don't know what Pep Guardiola really had in mind in this match, because he didn't make a single substitution to refresh strategy or anything. I understand maybe this is a form of his trust in the players who are on the field. But if that doesn't make any difference and they are stuck I think here Pep has to make substitutions to give them refreshments and hope that the players who come in will be able to be a solution when Manchester City are struggling.
Maybe because Manchester City have led with a score of 0-1 at half time, that can make Manchester City add goals or maybe defend it. But if I consider Pep who didn't make any substitutions, then it seems Pep has put more faith in his main squad to be able to score another goal. But unfortunately, it's clear that this method is not appropriate for a big event like this, so substitutions really need to be done to make a slight overhaul of strategy. It's a shame that Manchester City only got a draw but yes, because in the second leg later Manchester City will play at home so maybe it will be a definite win for Manchester City. |

Monaco host Bayer Leverkusen in the second leg of the Europa League encounter. Monaco have a slender 3-2 advantage from the first leg. The Monaco vs Bayer Leverkusen game is expected to be one of the one sided affairs in the second leg of the Europa League. The excellent form experienced by the French outfit coupled with a lead from the first leg put them in a very strong position. Bayer Leverkusen have had no upturn in form over the last few weeks. Manager Xabi Alonso might have witnessed a spirited set of results during the early part of his regime, but the club has now gone through four defeats in the last five matches.
Basically Bayer Leverkusen might be said to be lucky, because Bayer Leverkusen can still continue to play in the European League after being eliminated from the Champions League. Also, Bayer Leverkusen's performance at the start of the season was very worrying in the Bundesliga but after the season break Bayer Leverkusen bounced back. So, if in the play-off round Bayer Leverkusen can't get good results, then I think it's natural because Bayer Leverkusen didn't start the season well. But at least, with Bayer Leverkusen still able to play well because they are able to score goals, then Bayer Leverkusen still has hope of qualifying if Bayer Leverkusen are still lucky at this moment. |

This is the correct analysis in my opinion. The whole table only is so dense because Bayern is struggling. When Bayern plays a good season I think it would probably be already over.  They have already lost 20 points so far. This means that is almost equal to 7 losses. Since they have so many ties the stats don't look as bad, but essentially it would mean almost 7 losses, which is well below average for Bayern. In some seasons they would be 10 points ahead now. Bayern are the only team that can afford investment every season and they like to target competitors to take their strongest players. They always raid Dortmunds best players and imo Dortmund are the only team that challenges them every season but it is true when Bayern struggle the league is closer but when they are on form they win by a lot of points and it reminds me of the French league where PSG find it easy every season. It could be the reason Bayern focus on the Champions league because they always win the Bundesliga and we might get a new winner this season. Actually, that is the reason why Bayern Munich could be the first team if Germany for years. Their strategy is to target the strongest competitors they have in Bundesliga and then they find the key players in that team to send offers for the players even if they don't need the player but as you said Bayern Munich is the only team in Germany they have enough financial resources to do that, now we see Dortmund is racing with then in the league nad they probably will start sending offers for their players soon. Basically Bayern Munich always focuses on the Bundesliga and also the Champions League every season, so even if you say Bayern Munich will focus more on the Champions League, in reality Bayern Munich will remain strong in the Bundesliga. Also, even though currently Bayern Munich's position is no longer safe but I'm still pretty sure, at the end of the season Bayern Munich will still win the title. But indeed, the competition in the title race this season will be very competitive because Bayern Munich's performance is also not as good as in previous seasons. Because from the start of this season, Bayern Munich has not been smooth in getting points in every match they have played. |

I think the biggest game of the week is going to be Tottenham - Chelsea.
In fact none of these teams are even close to a title race right now. Chelsea are in a much worse condition than their competitor also. But in the end this is a big game for both sides anyway. Tottenham are of course the favoured side for getting the win. However bookmakers don't expect this game to be comfortable for them also. The odds are pretty close to each other. Honestly Chelsea are a big mess right now. They are terrible not only in this league but also they got a bad result against Dortmund.
Tottenham are fighting for keeping their presence in top 4 now. They would like to benefit from Chelsea's weaknesses. I think both teams will score and Tottenham will win by a slight margin also.
Tottenham and Chelsea both lost in the Champions League but yes, these two still have their differences in the Premier League standings. Tottenham still looks better because Tottenham at this moment has also returned to the top four, and this situation certainly makes Tottenham have better morale than Chelsea. Also, it has been a long time since Tottenham have been able to beat Chelsea, so with the current situation, Tottenham should be able to make good use of it to beat Chelsea. Playing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham should have ended the bad results when playing against Chelsea. |

I'm really looking forward to watching this. In the second leg at Old Trafford, Man United takes on Barcelona. Will Man United defeat Barcelona tonight, or will Barcelona win at Old Trafford? Although experts predict a close game, I think Manchester United will take advantage of their home field and score a few goals past them so win quite easily.
Odds favor MU due of home advantages and the outcome of the first leg. I'll take the safe option, but I won't mind if it takes extra time. Of course the most interesting thing is waiting for this match to start. I also don't mind if you side with Manchester United because you think they would be better off playing at home. Nevertheless, no one will underestimate Barcelona at Old Trafford as they also have enough players to prevent Manchester United from winning. We'll see what happens at the end of the match, but so far I only think that Barcelona can advance to the next round of the Europa League. It's a final for both of them, so things aren't as easy as we thought. However, even though Manchester United are playing at home, the odds are not entirely in favor of Manchester United winning. Unlike the first leg, when Barcelona played at home and the odds were very clear, Barcelona were strong favorites to win but the final result was not as expected. Now, even though Manchester United are slightly favored but Manchester United is not 100% projected to win. With a difference like this, I'm pretty sure Erik ten Hag will prove his quality here to give Manchester United a win. |

In week 22, Real Sociedad only drew against a team that is in the middle of the La Liga standings and that is Celta Vigo, while based on head to head at least Real Sociedad has good dominance when playing against Celta Vigo.
But unfortunately, at this moment Real Sociedad were basically on top form but failed to beat Celta Vigo. Obviously that is a bad result I think, because on paper Real Sociedad can get a convincing victory in that match.

AFC Bournemouth and Manchester City are going to lock horns on 25th February 2023. The match will be played in Vitality stadium which serves as a home to AFC Bournemouth. Manchester City will be looking forward to grabbing that league leaders title from Arsenal by defeating AFC Bournemouth. Meanwhile, AFC Bournemouth with a win over Wolves will march in with high morale to crush Manchester City’s title dream. As the table stands Manchester City is at the second spot in the EPL Table with 52 points onboard. With the good head to head record they have against the host team they might likely win this match.
Manchester City has played one game more than Arsenal, so even though Manchester City can win and be at the top of the standings, it won't last long. Because if Arsenal can also be consistent in winning every match, then Arsenal will continue to be above Manchester City. Unless Manchester City consistently wins and Arsenal suffers several defeats when Manchester City wins, then Manchester City will be able to maintain its position at the top of the English Premier League standings. |

I was just too sure of Madrid's victory yesterday I know Liverpool was just opportune to have scored the two goals and with Benzema given one assist and scoring two goals Benzema never disappoints and apart from the goals real Madrid has six goals on target, Liverpool was having more ball possession than real Madrid it was a well-played game yesterday.
Normally I knew Liverpool weren’t going to get the whole 3 points to themselves even when they were 2-0 up. They have been poor this season and defensively they were always going to fumble when under pressure. When the gold started coming in I knew was going to be more than 2. You can’t hide an attack of Vinicius, KARIM Benzema and Rodrigyo for 90mins. They were always going to score and I have always knew Madrid as a team that is good with come backs. In fact, Liverpool are currently in poor performance this season so when Liverpool play against the European king Real Madrid, then of course Liverpool have no chance of winning. But I wonder why the bookies still put Liverpool as the favorite team even though it is clear that at this moment Liverpool do not have good quality. Therefore, I personally don't hesitate to bet on Real Madrid and also, the odds for Real Madrid are quite high so I feel this is a way to get a fairly easy win with good odds.  |

Napoli have impressive performance in this season trough 23 matched play have been success won 20 games and left one games got defeated from Inter Milan, one step closer with Napoli break the history record after longer time waiting with Scudetto. However still not guarantee with Napoli get Serie A tittle in this season because left 15 matches and 15 points left behind Inter Milan still potential catching up.
But above 60% predicting with Napoli become the champion in this season with winning dominance on every match and keep consistent performance after several rival team losing points on crucial matches.
after this Napoli will still face strong teams like Lazio and Atalanta. and they also have to focus on the Champions League game, even though now Napoli will be more favored. with Napoli's current points gain, if they maintain their performance they should be safe to win the Serie A title this season. Inter could not go after Napoli. so far they have only lost 1 time, and that is a very great achievement. I wonder why when you or they acknowledge Napoli's dominance so far this season and it is certain that Napoli will win the title, but you still doubt Napoli and say Napoli's points are still not safe? lol! I think that is a hypocritical statement, because with Napoli's extraordinary dominance this season then you should be able to accept Napoli to be able to win the title. Because so far this season no team has a record as good as Napoli in Serie A and because of that, I personally believe no team can break Napoli's dominance to win the Serie A title this season. Because after all, other teams don't have good consistency to overtake Napoli, so this 15-point gap is clearly a safe point gap for Napoli. |

This weekend we have interesting match between Marseille vs PSG and based on the odds i can see PSG has slightly the favourite than Marseille but no wonder about that because PSG has won 3 times in the last 5 matches against Marseille but several weeks ago Marseille has successfully to beat PSG at their home ground on France Cup and maybe this result makes Marseille had more motivation to beat PSG again two times in a row
Regarding team conditions i can see PSG has tight schedule because they still play on champion league against Bayern Munich i am sure PSG will give high priority for that match because champion league trophy is their main target for each season and i will assume PSG will do some rotations for the match against Marseille and if it's true i think there is a chance for Marseille to win this game
After nearly settling for a draw with LOSC, I am beginning to doubt the abilities of PSG. LOSC is a good team but it is not on the same level as the Champions League opponents of PSG. PSG will have a slight advantage over Marseille but not be shocking in the event of a draw or another Marseille repeat. The last chance PSG has in the Champions League is the focus right now. Even having injured players of its own, Bayern Munich prevailed at Parc des Princes. In their second leg at Allianz Arena, Sadio Mane might make a comeback this time. Anyway, this match will be an important match for both teams, because if one of them loses then it will be a big loss. Because if Marseille can beat PSG then their point gap will be even closer, this will certainly make PSG's situation even more depressed. But if PSG win, then of course it will make the road to the title safer for PSG. But because at this moment PSG's key players are not fully fit, I doubt PSG can beat Marseille. So the end result is a draw or Marseille wins, I think the final result might happen because PSG's situation and conditions are not entirely good. |

Very interesting to see Sevilla performance during play off match because they had opposite performance than in Laliga this because Sevilla can able to performing well in this competition and 3-0 in the first met makes Sevilla in the comfortable position and their chances to qualified is almost be certain because they could aim for a draw in the second leg or at least not lose with 3 goals margin and it is very possible to achieve by Sevilla and for their opponent PSV i was never thought PSV has been humiliated with those scores and now if want to qualified to the next round they have to win at least 4-0 and this is very hard target for them
But in fact, Sevilla's performance has indeed improved after the World Cup break. Previously Sevilla was only struggling because it was difficult to avoid the relegation zone in the La Liga standings, but now Sevilla is slowly getting back on track. This can at least push Sevilla to be even better in the Europa League as well because basically, Sevilla does have a good place in the Europa League so that Sevilla can have good abilities to continue to compete in the Europa League. |

yup, on several occasions Ronaldo seemed to have no respect for Ten Haag, MU's failure at that time was considered because of Ten Hag. but MU has now managed to improve their performance, which means Ten Hag has the ability, it's just Ronaldo is too arrogant to blame Ten Hag for MU's poor performance at the beginning of Ten Hag's coaching MU.
Maybe the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't perform well enough in Manchester United is the relationship between him and Erik Ten Hag we know Ronaldo is a famous superstar and he was shining well previously in manchester United so surly he had no respect for Tem Hag and obviously, Ten Hag is not a coach to accept this. That's why the only thing Ronaldo could do was leave Manchester United for another team. While after and when Ronaldo left this team Ten Hag could focus better than before and got better results. Ten Hag didn't give him enough chance to perform because he already knows what Ronaldo performance is upto. Ten Hag didn't use Ronaldo much not because they were not in good relationship. Every decision of Ten Hag was to make the team improve and get better just as we can see how much the team have become better today. Every step Ten Hag took was just the best, his concerned was about the team and not to give any player special treatment that will later on affect the team. Lol, Ronaldo's poor performance is not due to Erik ten Hag, but Ronaldo's performance has indeed deteriorated over time by itself. You can judge how Ronaldo's performance and contribution was when playing in Portugal during the World Cup, in fact when Portugal won big but Ronaldo was not played and Ronaldo only scored from a penalty kick at that time. Not only that, you can also assess how Ronaldo's performance and contribution is at Al-Nassr at the moment, even though it is a league that is not very strong but Ronaldo still needs time to be able to score goals in every match. At least this proves that there is nothing wrong with Erik ten Hag for not playing Ronaldo. Because Ronaldo's performance has also slowly decreased, and Ronaldo is no longer able to compete at the highest level in Europe. |

Basically Liverpool played well and in fact, in the first half Liverpool seemed to dominate the game and that way Liverpool managed to score a quick goal in the first half. But unfortunately, the goals scored by Real Madrid also happened quickly, in this case it is clear that their quality is indeed different.
So, with a 2-5 final result like this, I personally assume that Liverpool's chances have indeed been lost to be able to advance to the next round. Because of course, it is difficult to score three or more goals for a comeback at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Liverpool's performance at this moment it is clear that there is no hope or luck anymore.

Match between Manchester United and Barcelona, this match will be an interesting encounter where the both teams are expected to score themselves, Manchester United is in a very good form this season, they have won most of their match this season with little draws likewise Barcelona, but this match might favour the host team because getting a 2:2 draw in away encounter with Barcelona and coming back home as the host of the match will make them to give out their best to make sure the match favours them.
Obviously Manchester United will still be the favorite to advance to the next round, but Manchester United must of course be wary of Barcelona because Barcelona still have the ability to win. Because if Barcelona can make a quick goal and defend it until the end of the match, then that is enough to make Barcelona qualify for the next round. Anyway, I still hope Manchester United can qualify, because if that happens then it proves that Erik ten Hag is the right coach for Manchester United. Because Barcelona is under Xavi's coaching, it looks like they are only focused on the local league. |

I didn't expect Liverpool to be the favorite team in the match against Real Madrid today, because even though the odds gap is still quite close but still. With Liverpool getting lower odds than Real Madrid, this means Liverpool are still seen as having a chance to win.
But even so, I personally still believe that Real Madrid will not lose this match. Also, even though Liverpool can still play well, I think a draw is still possible.
The match will be played at Anfield, the home stadium of Liverpool. The ardent Liverpool fans will work hard to support them. Although Real Madrid seems to be in better form than Liverpool at the moment, maybe we should think that there is always a chance for Liverpool. The atmosphere of this match will be very important. The second game will be on March 15 and if they want an advantage in that game, they should win this game. It seems that at this moment playing home or away doesn't have a big influence, because what matters is performance for better gameplay that can win matches. After all, Real Madrid is the king of Europe, so even though this match was played at Anfield, which of course has a lot of Liverpool supporters, I don't think this will make Real Madrid weak. So yes, in any case if they want to qualify for the next round, then the home team as well as the away team will make great efforts to get the expected result in this first leg. |

Indeed, it is very difficult to predict that the same team will have a pretty good performance this season. AC Milan's winning record in the statistical picture above is also quite good, but if I want to bet, I will definitely bet on AC Milan, not only because they are the host but currently AC Milan has pretty good match results and that can be a good capital against Atalanta at the San Siro stadium later. I think the score prediction will end 1-0 for AC Milan's victory.
Ac Milan got more luck against Atlanta and this is what you see if you check the Serie A league because Ac Milan got more luck to be on the top teams of the table while Atalanta is just in the middle and if you check the previous games from these two games you can see Ac Milan obviously performed better than Atlanta and they are surly going to start the game hoping for a victory which can be a safe bet for this game considering the AC Milan recent games. Atalanta is not a weak team and Atalanta is not easy to beat even though, in head to head it can be seen that Milan is still better. But if I consider the performance of Milan and Atalanta so far this season, then I conclude that Atalanta is still better. Also, in terms of the number of goals and also the number of goals conceded by Milan and Atalanta so far this season, in fact Atalanta is better than Milan. Therefore, I personally don't believe that Milan will beat Atalanta at this moment, because so far this season Atalanta is also very good when Atalanta play away. So yes, I personally am quite sure that Atalanta will not lose, a draw and or Atalanta win for me it can be a decent result in this match. |
