Trabzonspor got a deserved win against Hatayspor even though it ended just 1-0. I really like their performance in this season as well. They have been the most favoured team for becoming the champions together with Fenerbahce. However Fenerbahce don't seem as strong as them yet. This is only the beginning of the season of course. It wouldn't be fair to judge them like it will be like this in the rest of the season.

Timo Werner scored in his first game with Leipzig already. It is like he has been waiting for this moment but I'm not surprised at all. This is his home and the place where he performs the best. However the second half can be very tough for Leipzig because they got a red card. Koln are a team that can benefit from this quite well. It would be hard for Leipzig to get even one point but let's see.

My bet on Sevilla lost unfortunately. I really trusted them even though it wasn't a very comfortable game. The teams played at a similar level actually but Osasuna were better at scoring. Sevilla couldn't even get one point which is a bad start for them. However their game wasn't poor so they would make up for this loss in no time. It is still hard for them to stay in the title fight until the end but they can at least finish as the 3rd.

It is time for Liverpool to obtain their first victory of the season. They couldn't get the win against Fulham and their performance was not quite enough for a decent win too. But now hopefully they will beat Crystal Palace in Anfield. Liverpool shouldn't make easy point losses if they want to win the league title this season. Because Manchester City still seem very determined about winning it once again.

Honestly I didn't have any expectation from Dortmund to beat Freiburg in an away game. Their performance last week made me doubtful about them for this game. However they still managed to win this very tough game. And they did this by scoring three goals in the last fifteen minutes of normal time. Dortmund are still a very interesting team. It is hard to predict what they can do in this kind of games.

They can’t win either even CJ will stay because they are been on Blazers with prime but it doesn’t change the fact that other team has the best player to get what it takes to be a champion. Right now, Curry, Giannis and Lebron is the main player that is always in the formula to become a champion. It’s either you will join them or beat them to get that rings.
Beating Lebron's team wasn't an hard task for most of the other teams last season. It wasn't easy for those teams to stop Lebron though as he played very impressively. But the main problem was Lakers of course as they were very bad as a team. If the team get stronger then it would be really difficult for nearly all teams to beat them. I don't talk about Curry or Giannis at all as their teams are already in an awesome shape and it is very hard to stop them indeed. |

Sevilla surely seem like a better team than Osasuna currently. I can accept that Osasuna were not bad last season and they even fought for upper positions in the standings for some time. Sevilla are dealing with some missing players before this game but I still think that they can win here. We are only at the beginning of the season and one of these teams might not be full ready yet. I hope that team would be Osasuna because I've bet on Sevilla to win this game.  |

I see Freiburg like a little ahead of Dortmund when it comes to the preparation level for this season. The huge win against Augsburg would be helpful for them to concentrate well on this game as well. Dortmund are still not in a very good shape as we saw that in their Leverkusen game last week. I don't know how much it was related to Haaland's departure but they struggled quite much. They would have been more effective in scoring normally. Therefore I don't trust them much for now.

Arsenal are one of the teams that have made a nice start now. Their next game is going to be against Leicester and it is a home game. Actually no matter they are playing away or home they are very clearly the favourite team to win this matchup. Leicester are way weaker than them as it seems. They were nearly even losing against Brentford last week. Arsenal can win against Leicester here by at least a two-goal gap. I'm expecting Gabriel Jesus to score as well.

Earlier this summer, Guardiola wanted to recruit Marc Cucurella but refused to pay the £55 million asking price, allowing him to sign with Chelsea instead, leaving them without a reputable left-back after Oleksandr Zinchenko left for Arsenal.
Kieran Tierney of Arsenal is one of the names on Manchester City's short list for a new left-back this summer, though they are aware that a move for Tierney will be exceedingly challenging and expensive to complete.
They were after Cucurella but they withdrew from the deal which made things easier for Chelsea to sign him. And now Manchester City have almost completed the signing of Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht for the position. He is another great choice for them by the way. His performance last season was impressive. He just needs to adapt well to Guardiola's strategies and that's it. He can do as good as Cucurella then. |

Manchester United are playing against Brentford this time and it must be an opportunity for them to start winning. They didn't have much problem against Brentford in their last games against each other. I expect a similar result here as well. Manchester United are still in trouble as they don't have a reliable performance but maybe getting three points in this game might help them a little about focusing more.

I agree that football is full of everything and PSG can still become the champions with Galtier or a much better manager. I also remember Chelsea's great work with Di Matteo. This doesn't happen very often which makes it more special. But if PSG do this with Galtier as well it would be the biggest achievement for him and his experience would reach an incredible level.

For the previous two seasons we have seen Inter and Milan becoming the champions. This has made me think that whether we would see another different champion team other than those two and Juventus this time. For this, the biggest candidates I see are Napoli and Roma. Roma even seem in a better shape if we consider their current quality of their squad. Napoli were better than them last season of course. But this time maybe they could change the roles.
the Roma is very strong, now he has the special one, who as a coach is very good and capable (they have already won a cup). I think it will be a four-way fight: Milan, Inter, Juventus and Rome. I don't know about Napoli, but haven't they sold many players? Yeah the reason why I have doubts about Napoli is that actually. They have lost some of their players. They have signed some players as well but I still find this not enough for a successful season. Roma have done a better job about their transfers so far. If they don't have any problems with the team chemistry and strategies they should be able to get ahead of Napoli this time. Mourinho's system can be considered as old maybe but I still believe Roma can do better than the previous season. |

This is not even debatable. Arteta is a very good and intelligent manager. From where the team started to where it finished last season, no one on earth would have thought that they were still running for the UCL spot till the last game. With so many young players around you its easy to sway away. I always believe in Arteta because of his role as a former captain and passion for the club. Believing in a youthful team is his main strength and I hope Arsenal will do better and qualify for the Champion league this season.
It is debatable actually. But maybe I will turn out to be wrong about Arteta in the future and they will be much more successful in time. Honestly it would be really good to see as well because we haven't seen them fighting for the league title for so many years. If this team improves itself constantly with their talented young players they can do this. Their previous season was quite decent even though they started it terrible. Now it is time for them to improve this success more. |

Losing both of Aubameyang and Depay both wouldn't be favorable for Barcelona of course. Because then they will have only Lewandowski and Braithwaite left in the team. In addition to that they might not even be able to register Lewandowski as they still haven't fixed the financial fair-play issue. Therefore they will need to act smart in this situation. If one of the first two players I mentioned leaves then they would prefer keeping the other one in the team.

Let's just hope that this doesn't happen for Barcelona. Otherwise not much thing will chance for the La Liga. This would be like a hindrance ahead of them for reaching the title a little easier than before. Barcelona and Xavi must have already thought about this. I think they would solve this likely problem for this league. Because they must be targeting to be very successful in not only the Champions League but also the La Liga. They can't make simple mistakes now.
It will happen. Think about how much la liga would be hated as a management if they declined it, they would be losing a lot of teams a lot of money as well. Barcelona fighting for a title means that general la liga tv rights income will be higher, and when it is higher that means we are going to see every team get some money. Sure Real Madrid wouldn't want them to be good, but everyone else would want them to be good for sure. This is why I do not think that it will change to any better or worse, I think they will be accepted into the team and registered, so that they will fight for a title and make the whole league even more fun to watch globally all around the world. Barcelona still have a chance to revert things actually. They are just working on finding a way to decrease the total wage of the players now. Maybe they will do this by selling some players or by requesting some of their players to accept a pay cut. They had better work this out fast because the season is almost starting. One of the biggest teams of this league shouldn't fail in solving a very important problem like this. By the way they are still after some other players to sign as well. It is really insane.  |

Frankfurt really couldn't do much against Real Madrid in the Super Cup game. However they at least didn't lose the game like they did to Bayern Munich. It only ended up with a 2-0 score. The result was obviously expected as Frankfurt can't keep up with a team like Real Madrid. They will really need to improve their morale in the Bundesliga at the earliest opportunity. Maybe the Hertha Berlin game is a good opportunity to do this. |

Chelsea are said to be ready to sign Frenkie de Jong and Aubameyang both now. However it depends on whether Barcelona are thinking of letting them go now. Actually Barcelona are in a troubling situation when it comes to the La Liga. They will need to cut the total salary of the players somehow otherwise they might face a problem like they wouldn't be able to register some players as you know. So I wonder if they will go for selling at least one of these two players to relieve a little.

Both Tottenham and Arsenal have improved their squad quality. So, it is interesting to see how good their performance will be and how far their achievement this season. Since their squad are strong enough, they can be two serious competitors for Man City and Liverpool to win EPL title. Not only about the squad quality, Tottenham and Arsenal also have good managers (coaches), especially Tottenham. Everyone must know what Antonio Conte has achieved in the past. Read: https://www.transfermarkt.com/antonio-conte/erfolge/trainer/3517Spurs do have a proven manager but I'm not sure about Arsenal having a good manager. They are putting their trust on Mikel Arteta, who's an unproven manager is pretty big for a club as big as Arsenal. He is getting the results for now though. So, its all good but once the results don't go the teams way. He will be the first one on the chopping block. Arsenal have had Arteta as their manager for three years. I also don't think that he is the best manager for this team but they still somehow manage to do a nice job recently. They are just bad at making the finale good in a season. They missed the Champions League by a small gap last season for example. However the scenario might be different this season. They have strengthened the lineup quite much and they seem more ambitious now. Hopefully Arteta can make this team qualify for the Champions League this time. |
