Atletico Madrid are playing a home match against Valencia right now and it has been around ten minutes since it started.
I'm just favouring Atletico Madrid to win this one comfortably. They have made a big improvement in their form in the La Liga as it is seen clearly. This isn't a tough match at all. Depay has been doing well since he joined the team. I expect him to do a good job in this match as well together with Griezmann. Their win over Sevilla is still unforgettable for me because we rarely see Atletico Madrid winning by that big scores. Maybe they aren't in the title race but keeping up this form will help them secure their Champions League ticket.
Anyway, I believe that Atlético's current position is on track as it should be by continuing to be the shadow of Real Madrid and Barcelona. So yes, in this match against Valencia of course Atletico will be able to win but yes, the victory that Atletico will probably achieve in this match I think is only with a low score. Because in fact Valencia also has good enough ability not to lose with a big score in every match, moreover Atletico is very rarely ambitious to win big like during the match against Sevilla. It will be interesting to look forward to whether Valencia can make a surprise with a draw, or maybe the final result in this match will come as predicted by many people for Atletico's victory. |

Like I said, Udinese are good at home and have already scored a quick goal. Milan so far have had a shock and a lack of shots. They can probably equalise, but so far it looks as if this match is no longer to be won for Milan. But this is just the start of the game though, there could be a lot more to come.
But the first half isn't over and it's possible that Milan will even the score at 1-1, because based on head to head they often get draws too. Milan, who are currently in the top four, still cannot make a guarantee of winning in this away match, because Udinese are also not a weak team, so it will still be difficult for Milan to win in this match. But yes, I think a draw could be a good result for Milan but it doesn't feel quite right, because with Udinese who started the game with a quick goal. So of course Udinese must be able to defend this victory until the end of the match, and because of that I'm sure Udinese can get full points in this match. |

The match was more evenly matched and neither side dominated in the first half, Southampton had a few attempts but were unable to capitalize on any chances to score. Pedro Porro managed to take advantage of the bait provided by Son Heung in the 45th minute, thus creating the first goal for Tottenham. Entering the second half Southampton managed to equalize through Che Adams and I think they need to be able to play more openly in order to put pressure on Tottenham.
Tottenham should have won that match, but unfortunately they made a mistake that allowed Southampton to get the chance to score a penalty shot, which was executed well by James Ward-Prowse. I'm sure Antonio Conte was very disappointed because his team failed to win the match against Southampton, which should have been easy to beat. The three points that were already in front of Tottenham eyes disappeared after Ward-Prowse successfully executed a penalty in injury time. As a result of failing to secure a victory at Southampton Headquarters, Tottenham failed to widen the distance from Newcastle, who were one rank below, an additional point made the gap between Tottenham and Newcastle only two points adrift. Losing two points at Southampton is a big loss for Tottenham. Their position in fourth place is threatened by Newcastle, who have only played 26 matches, while Tottenham have played 28 matches. For me personally from the start I wasn't sure that Tottenham would win, because even though Southampton are at the bottom of the standings, in my opinion Southampton is still not a weak team and easy to beat. Also, I still consider that Southampton is just having bad luck this season, so Southampton is in danger of being relegated. But yes, regarding their match that just ended, the fact is that Tottenham are very close to winning. But unfortunately, Southampton had quite a bit of luck in the last minutes of the match as Southampton's third goal came in the 90+ minute and also through a penalty kick. But anyway, I personally still quite believe that Tottenham still has the ability to maintain its position in the top four. |

Borussia Dortmund finished the first half ahead 4-1 against FC Köln. Borussia Dortmund fans filling Signal Iduna Park seem very happy with the score. There is a great game on the field and there are great goals. In fact, they are right to be happy and they are really lucky today. Yes, there were beautiful goals on the field, but I really liked Marco Reus' goal. He took a masterful shot and scored a fantastic goal.
To say something about FC Köln, they seem to have completely collapsed in terms of motivation. If they are not more serious in the second half, Borussia Dortmund can make a historic difference in the match.
Yes indeed, Dortmund fans deserve to celebrate the big win but in the end it will be the same, and even though with this win Dortmund are at the top of the standings but of course it is only temporary. Maybe because Dortmund are currently only focused on the domestic league, and then Dortmund can play very well and can also score a lot of goals and of course that is a good victory. By the way, FC Koln previously beat Dortmund with a score of 3-2 but unfortunately, it seems that FC Koln still doesn't have the ability to play well and this is reflected in FC Koln's position in the standings which is not entirely in a good position. |

In the first leg of the quarter final, it looks like Feyenoord will beat Roma, even though we know that in the previous game Feyenoord looked so scary by scoring 7 goals against Shasktar. I think Feyenoord's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals are great because they have been very consistent this season and for Roma they still have to improve on their performance which I think is still not good enough this season. But what is clear is that this is also one of the matches that we should wait for the results.
Games with outsiders mean nothing. In my opinion, bookmakers correctly assess the balance of power in this pair: To Qualify Feyenoord Rotterdam 2.00 AS Roma 1.75 It seems to me that Roma will win both matches (maybe draw once) and Feenord will have very little chance of scoring a goal. Now there are very few games left before the title, so the teams will play with increased motivation. Don't underestimate Feyenoord too much because the reality is, Feyenoord this season is also very good in the Eredivisie by only getting one defeat and making Feyenoord currently at the top of the Eredivisie standings. Therefore, in my opinion, it is very unlikely that Feyenoord cannot score against AS Roma because after all, AS Roma is a team that can be said to not have good consistency. So yes, I personally believe that Feyenoord have a chance to qualify as well, because the odds of 2.00 to 1.75 are not that big of a gap. In fact, it is a fairly close gap, because Feyenoord are also basically not a weak team and Feyenoord still have a chance to beat AS Roma. |

Enter five minutes before the match is over, in fact the Monza vs Cremonese match was still a 1-1 draw
Both teams only have five minutes to convert the lead, or the match will end in a draw. I want to see if your guess is correct
Monza dominate the match both based on ball possession and total shots
Cremonese was under pressure, but they handled it well. even though 1 point didn't save them from the relegation zone, it was good enough to hold Monza. Monza pushed hard for the win by leveling the goals just after they conceded. but that doesn't change the situation. Monza controlled more than 60% of the ball. made 15 shots but in reality only 1 goal they could make. and both had to settle for a draw. The game has just come to an end and both teams were unable to win the match just only one goal from any of the team will have given the team a win. It was an interesting match with so much opportunities that couldn't be converted to a goal by Monza. It is quite an good result for both teams In fact, in their first match of the season Monza were able to win on the away match with a score of 2-3, which was their first match in Cremonese as a home team. But in their second match this season, Monza basically played at home, but Monza was not lucky enough because Monza failed to win at home. Also, Cremonese's position in the relegation zone is at least a good moment for Monza to beat Cremonese again this season. But yes, as a promoted team they have been in a different position and with Monza still able to stay in the middle of the rankings so far this season. So of course, this is a good achievement for Monza, which seems to be certain next season that Monza will still play in Serie A. |

But it is indeed a considerable increase for Newcastle in the match this time even though the score is 2-1, but the difference with Tottenham will be temporary. If tonight's Tottenham win the match against Southampton tonight, I think it will be an easy match for Tottenham against the team who are at the bottom of the standings, especially Southamphon, in their last match, went through a very bad match experience and of course the difference between Newcastle will only last a matter of hours. But as long as Newcastle are able to maintain their good performance, it is very likely that they will qualify for the Champions League next season. I think it's been a perfect season for Newcastle because they have really been able to compete and stay in the top flight for 26 games. Obviously there has been a great improvement in form from Newcastle, but they still need to fight to survive and be competitive for the rest of the season. It would be a real surprise if Newcastle qualified for the Champions League next season by overtaking Tottenham from 4th place, that is a completely unexpected achievement. Basically Newcastle is still having a good performance but yes, it seems that Newcastle is not having a high level of luck. Because after all, against Nottingham in fact Nottingham almost managed to end the match in a draw, because Newcastle was just able to score his winning goal in the 90+ minute and also, his goal came from a penalty kick. That's the reason I said Newcastle didn't have a high level of luck, because that match also showed that Newcastle really dominated the match but Newcastle almost only got one point. Therefore, for me, Newcastle only needs to maintain its position in fifth place, because Liverpool, which is under Newcastle, certainly poses a real threat. |

These features are fixed. Why are all the Italian cups on one side? Nevertheless I see Real Madrid vs Napoli finals. Because Chelsea with is Their current form can't beat Real Madrid the defending champion. Napoli gonna win AC Milan and other Italian cups in the group to get the final ticket.
I assume there will be an Italian finalist, not necessarily Napoli even though they are the first and the best in Serie A but they have their moments of weakness and Milan or Inter could surprise them. Real Madrid in the other side is experienced with Champions League games but Bayer and City are pretty well right now and passing them will not be easy at all. I have pretty strong feeling that the final going to be between napoli vs chelsea for somehow ... chelsea always underestimated ... especially this time this season as they are in tough situation at the domestic league ... having a consecutive losses and bad performance in the last two months. But you know what? Chelsea always surprising everybody included the bookies. I wish this did happened. It really doesn't make sense to choose Chelsea to play in the Champions League final this season, even though sometimes Chelsea can give a surprise but I'm sure Chelsea doesn't always have luck. In fact, last season, Chelsea basically still had a better performance than this season, but the fact is that playing against Real Madrid is still difficult for Chelsea to qualify. Moreover, so far this season Chelsea's performance is very worrying and for example, if Chelsea qualify for the semifinals then the opponent will be Manchester City or Bayern Munich. The opponent that Chelsea will face is very difficult to reach the final, so choosing Chelsea as a team that reaches the Champions League final I think is a wish that will not come true. |

Atletico Madrid has a good opportunity to get three points today in the match against Valencia... Lately Atletico has been playing well and I think they should not have difficulties in this game... They need to increase the gap in the standings with Real Sociedad... They need to stay in the Champions League zone until the end of the season...
Anyway, because Valencia at this moment is also in chaos which seems difficult to overcome, then playing away against Atletico will certainly be a tough task for Valencia to get points in this match. Also, so far this season Valencia has been really bad when Valencia has played away so yes, I think it is clear that in this away match Valencia has no chance of getting any points. Because even though Valencia is aiming to get one point with a draw, I personally don't believe Valencia can do it. Because after all, Valencia's head to head also didn't look promising when Valencia played against Atletico, so Atletico deserved to be the favorites to win this match. |

Anyway, Arsenal's statistical record in yesterday's match or in yesterday's second leg against Sporting, the truth is that Arsenal do not have a good statistical record. I just didn't expect Sporting to play well in yesterday's match, or maybe because Arsenal won 1-0 at half time, that was a factor for Arsenal to reduce the intensity of their attacks.
If that was actually the case, then surely it would be regrettable to underestimate the opponent. Even though Arsenal are playing at home, Arsenal should have continued to play aggressively to score another goal, and not wait for a reply from Sporting. Therefore, Sporting could make good use of the penalty shootout, and maybe Gabriel Martinelli was under too much pressure and failed to score in the penalty shootout.

Even though Lyon and Nantes are currently only struggling in the middle of the standings, but at least Lyon still has a better record and that way Lyon can still win this home match. But yes, I think Lyon and Nantes have good abilities regarding aggressiveness in scoring goals, so even though Lyon is the favorite to win, but Nantes will certainly provide a difficult resistance by scoring goals in this match.
But yes, with considerations like that too, I think betting for both teams to score and or over, might be a good option too. So yes, even though this is not a match in the title race, but I am sure that this match will still be interesting because both of them are still very ambitious to get points.

Yeah I know, I just thought if their position will no longer be able to be chase by rivals in Serie A, why spend stamina chase something that will definitely be theirs, that's what I mean regarding Napoli's consistency could have decrease after ensure they will winning in the League
Talks about the Champions League, one thing is certain that the participants in the UCL is not the same as face by Napoli in Serie A, they need something more to be able to bring home the UCL title
Sometimes it needs bit of luck too to win UCL. Things are turning out well for Napoli this season and I think they can do it in UCL this season. This season three Serie A teams have qualified for quarterfinals - Inter, AC Milan and Napoli and out of these 3 I think Napoli has the best shot at the UCL title. There are some tough opponents from them at UCL but if their manager manages them properly then they can give them tough time giving their best. Napoli has no chance of winning the Champions League title, but when it comes to qualifying for the semifinals, Napoli does have a better chance than Inter and Milan. Also, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in reality Napoli will play against Milan and I think that will make it easier for Napoli to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. But yes, luck can happen to any team and it is possible that it will happen to Napoli too, because in football anything can happen. But if based on the quality and experience of the team in the Champions League, then basically Napoli still doesn't promise a Champions League title. But, since Napoli has been confirmed to win the Serie A title, then of course Napoli will be able to maximize their good performance this season to be able to get good results in the Champions League as well. |

Man. City vs Bayern
I think this will be the most balanced and exciting match of the round, two favorites to win the title.
Just as Bayern managed to nullify Mbapeé and Messi in the second game vs PSG, I think they will try their best to nullify Haaland.
I think City wins at home and loses away, there is a high chance of extra time in this game.
Man City qualifies.
True, of all the matches in this round, the match between Manchester City vs Bayern Munich was the most balanced match. It is very difficult to predict which of them will advance to the semifinals. They really can beat each other, and I think that will really happen in the first leg and second leg. Manchester City got a really tough opponent in this round, after in the round of 16 they met unseeded Leipzig. As for Bayern Munich, they will return with a tougher opponent, having previously had a difficult match. Well, the two of them were at the peak of their careers when they met, many had predicted how this match would be and it was quite balanced when viewed from the other side, I would not underestimate the two teams, they already have a strong mentality, especially Bayern Munich, you can say as a tough UCL team as well as Manchester City who are currently just as tough even though they don't have the UCL trophy. I couldn't have predicted it was much more difficult but they had the same chances whereas in the previous match against Leipzig even though it was colored with a goal feast it was still not balanced when compared to Manchester City. I don't think we can be sure for Manchester City will win at home and lose away, it's a result that can happen like anything for example draw and then win and or lose. So, it can be assumed that the final results for them for the first and second legs will of course be random, because these two teams basically have a chance to win too. Also, if Manchester City manages to get rid of Bayern Munich, then surely it will be a big achievement as well. Because Manchester City managed to get rid of two Bundesliga teams in a row, in the round of 16 and also in the quarter-finals. Haaland, whose performance cannot be doubted, can be a big threat to Bayern Munich because Haaland and Pep Guardiola are no strangers to fighting Bundesliga teams. |

This match has a different mission for both teams, Nottingham Forest wants to take full points in their own home to keep away from the relegation zone. Meanwhile, for Newcastle United, the match against Nottingham Forest is another opportunity to get three points. The Magpies are currently hunting three points to achieve their ambitions through the top four. Newcastle is indeed very favored in this fight, it's just that the away match The Magpies are somewhat worrying. Howe has never won in the last four matches at home to the opponent.
Forest had good run in the middle but then again they lost it. They will be looking for a convincing result before the fans as they are in relegation zone but Newcastle also would be hoping for full points as they want to finish in top 4 this season at least like you said. I would say Newcastle have the quality but recently they are having tough luck scoring so I would say likely is that the game is gonna end draw or Newcastle to win. Yes and also, when Newcastle play away the result that is often obtained is a draw. Because of Newcastle's 12 away matches so far this season, 6 away matches have ended in a draw, so this match is likely to end in a draw as well. But with a note that Nottingham has to play well with good control too because if Nottingham can't do that, then of course Newcastle will still be able to get three points in this away match. Anyway, both of them have a mission to win because they are still trying to improve their position in the standings to get a better place. Therefore, it is certain that these two teams will play with great ambition to get points. |

This could easily become do or die for Real Madrid with just a single game. If they lose that means we have 12 point difference and there isn't enough game to cover the difference, it may look like there is a potential for it mathematically but we all know that it won't happen so Barcelona would practically be celebrating their league title after the game if they win.
However, if Real wins then the point difference will drop to realistic levels and they could pass them with just a few lucky games, still not entirely certain and may not happen so Real would not be celebrating anything, but at least they will still have a chance left to win it in the end.
Although Real Madrid are behind Barcelona in La Liga, they are still favorites for La Liga. Because at any moment Real Madrid can do something great. As Real Madrid are in a great position in the Champions League, doing well in La Liga is not a concern for them. Anyway, with Barcelona only focusing on the domestic league, of course Barcelona still has a better chance of winning the title. Here I am not supporting Barcelona or Real Madrid to win the title, but I consider the results so far this season and I think the reality is that Barcelona is difficult to catch. Also, Barcelona so far this season is a very low team in conceding and in fact, Barcelona have only conceded eight goals so far this season in La Liga. So, with this achievement, it can be assumed that Barcelona has a good defense, so Barcelona can guarantee good results in every match. |

Atalanta team always try to play with their best but the team is able to secure the victory very little. The reason for their problem may be game planning, which is one of the responsibilities of the team coach.
I don't understand what you are saying because what I have seen for the Atalanta team recently is a decline in performance so the Atalanta team has not shown any improvement recently and there is even a possibility that Juventus can overtake the Atalanta team if in today's match this and the following matches did not turn out well. So there are a lot of things that Atalanta really need to fix towards the end of this season. The fact is that Atalanta often experiences problems like this every season, and this season Atalanta is experiencing it again by not being able to maintain its position in the top six. In fact, if we consider Atalanta in the last few weeks or months at least Atalanta had a good performance and even Atalanta had competed in the top four. But yes, this incident does not seem to be something new for Atalanta, because Atalanta has never been able to continue playing with good results, at least to maintain its position in the top six. Because if this problem is not resolved quickly, then of course Atalanta will be eliminated from the top six and that is a result that should not have happened to Atalanta. |

Now Newcastle has to compete with Liverpool, who currently have a point difference that is not so difficult for Liverpool to catch up with. At least Liverpool will continue to focus temporarily in order to secure 5th place in the standings. It is likely that this will happen, Newcastle will be given the opportunity to secure a position in this match if they manage to come out victorious. Nottingham Forest is still below the quality of Newcastle, but once again that this game will be difficult to predict. Most likely Nottingham Forest will put up a pretty tight fight.
So far this season, Nottingham has had better results when Nottingham is playing at home, and at this moment, Newcastle's performance has indeed declined. So, the match against Nottingham cannot be a guarantee for Newcastle to win easily, because Nottingham can sometimes play well when Nottingham plays against a team that is ranked above. Therefore, even though Newcastle are still the favorites to win, I think the result could be a draw. Because in several Newcastle matches as well and in fact, Newcastle had several draws when Newcastle played against a team that was ranked in the middle and also at the bottom. Therefore, playing away against Nottingham, it still requires for Newcastle to play at a higher effort like when Newcastle improved well before. |

Dortmund is a team that has been able to profit a lot from selling players, maybe that's why they don't try hard to win the Bundesliga, but this season they might have some luck if bayern makes mistakes, in this next bayern game for example, if bayern loses and dortmund win they will have a 1 point advantage, which is not a big deal, to be honest i don't see bayern not being the bundesliga winner
Dortmund have priority with business than how compete in Bundesliga for winning domestic league and stopping with Bayern Munich domination, can't counted how many star player selling by Dortmund every season and manager have rebuilding with new formation after several main player selling to the other team. Seems different in this season due inconsistent performance from Bayern Munich give chance for Dortmund for stopping Bayern Munich domination in Bundesliga last ten years ago, current standing left two points only and still have chance if next two games Dortmund can defeat Bayern Munich and actually back to the top standing position. Even if, for example, Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich, I personally believe that in the end Bayern Munich will be able to return to the top of the Bundesliga. Because even if Dortmund, for example, can beat Bayern Munich, you also have to remember that there is still the next match and Dortmund will never be able to consistently win. Therefore, winning against Bayern Munich is still not a guarantee for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title. Because a team like Bayern Munich has a better way to finally get back to the top because after all, there is still no team in the Bundesliga that can stop Bayern Munich's dominance. |

I don't think there's anything much different about Real Madrid than last season, and it looks like this season Real Madrid will be playing against three more teams from the Premier League. Last season Real Madrid play against Chelsea in the quarter-finals and then, last season Real Madrid play against Manchester City in the semifinals and even, Real Madrid play against Liverpool in last season's Champions League final.
At this moment Real Madrid have eliminated Liverpool in the last 16 and in the quarter-finals later, Real Madrid will play against Chelsea. I think Real Madrid will play against Manchester City in the semifinals, and I believe that will happen if both Real Madrid and Manchester City qualify for the semifinals.
But apart from that, I'm also interested in Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich have to play against difficult teams in this knockout phase. How could it not be, because in the round of 16 Bayern Munich had to play against PSG and it could be said that the final happened too quickly. But in fact, Bayern Munich still has to play against Manchester City in the quarter-finals, and that can also be said to be a final that happened too early.

Barcelona have been very impressive this season, they are currently leading the league table with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. I keep wondering why they have not been successful in European competitions the same way they have been successful in Spain and something tells me probably they are not so good as they seem to be after all but they will have to remain consistent to hold on to their lead for the rest of the season.
As a player, Xavi has been able to win the UCL trophy for Barcelona, but as a coach, Xavi still needs time to understand the character of the opponent's game which they are not only plays in Spain, Barcelona will play against the best teams from all over Europe. If Xavi's capabilities can reach the implementation of this strategy, I belive Xavi can win UCL or UEL trophies. But Xavi need to know oppenents weaknes or players movements from their opponent that play outside the Spanish club doesn't grow-up, maybe his fate will be the same as that of PSG, there are lots of quality players but getting to the final round is difficult. Of course it wasn't easy for Xavi when he was shown to be Barcelona coach. The condition of the team upon his arrival was disastrous from many sides. But in his second season with the Blaugrana Xavi was able to show his quality. Even though he failed in the Champions League, Xavi was able to restore Barcelona's prestige which had faded during the Koeman era. This season Xavi has been able to present a Spanish Super Cup trophy and also has the opportunity to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey. I believe that if Barcelona don't have problems with the law and are financially stable, then Xavi will be able to say a lot in Europe in the future. Agree, one of the obstacles that hinders Barcelona from developing better in Europe seems to be because Barcelona still has financial problems. If the problem is not financial, then the problem is with Xavi who may still not be able to implement a strategy and or make the right rotation when playing in Europe, both in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. But I think this or the European tournament can be ruled out first because after all, with Xavi having managed to build Barcelona back to dominate the domestic league, I think that's good enough for Barcelona. Because indeed, of course it will be difficult to raise a team from chaos when the situation is not conducive. |
