Although indeed, Monaco can turn things around so that they can win the match, but if I consider from the existing statistics where Monaco is a team that is in a higher standing area then I think that is a statistic that is not good for Monaco. Indeed, statistics are not something that is important because the most important thing is the full points obtained, but as a top team against a bottom team then I think at least Monaco can get good statistics too.
Because Auxerre is currently in the relegation zone or at least a team that is at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings, but in reality Auxerre was able to score first and almost won at half time.

But for the next match between PSG v Strasbourg, I personally am very sure that PSG will be able to win, even I am sure that PSG can win with a wide goal difference. What's more, if PSG can win big with clean sheets, then of course that will be a very good result in this match.
Indeed, Messi was not played in this match because he was still given more time to rest. But even though there is no Messi in the PSG squad in this match, I personally feel that this will not be an obstacle for PSG to be able to win with a big score. Because yes, basically PSG still has other players and also, PSG still has other goalscoring players who can still play very well.

Nunez is a talented player. But he is unable to adapt himself to the Liverpool team. Liverpool management had high expectations from Nunez. Nunez was brought in by Liverpool as a replacement for Sadio Mane. But he is not playing well. The coach should give Nunez his full support. I believe that with enough support from the coach and if Nunez is diligent, he can play well with Liverpool.
The Liverpool coach actually has to provide support for all the players who have joined the team in every season including this season, which is not only aimed at someone like Darwin Nunez even though the player was brought in to Liverpool to replace Sadio Mane who had gone to the team other. Because Liverpool's target now for the rest of this season is to win more matches by continuing to get points in every game so that they can continue to be in the competitive path with other great teams in the Champions League and also in their own local league.

Liverpool at this moment are in a difficult situation because, in fact, several of their key players are currently injured. So of course it won't be easy for Klopp to be able to restore Liverpool's performance to its best form but yes, because the Champions League will also start again in mid-February 2023, Liverpool can still prepare their squad to get better.
But still, by rotating for them to also play important matches in the local league, then all the risks will still be there for Liverpool.

With these difficult situations and conditions, of course, Liverpool will continue to experience relentless pressure this season, because their position is also not good in the Premier League standings.
What's more, Darwin Nunez, who was expected to become Liverpool's goal machine, has yet to materialize because after all, Darwin Nunez is also still very young to be made the team's main target. So yes, even though Klopp can provide higher support for Darwin Nunez, I personally am still not sure enough because Darwin Nunez still doesn't have good emotional control at the young age of 23 at this time.

Yesterday the favorites did not disappoint and won their matches with confidence. I believe today will be similar and Manchester City will also get three points in convincing style. It is true that Leeds, especially at home, can cause problems for the favorites, but today I do not expect a surprise. 8 points behind the leader is enough mobilization for Manchester City to approach this match fully concentrated and not underestimate the theoretically weaker rival.
Indeed there has not been big surprises in the Epl since it's resumption 2 days ago. The big teams that were expected to win on 26th won their matches, on the 27th the other big teams like Manchester United and Chelsea also won their matched. Today I believe Manchester City will win their match convincingly because anything otherwise will affect their race for the title.

Basically Manchester City is indeed better and of course has a big chance to win, so I am very sure that at least Manchester City will be able to win more than three goals. But if we want to stay safe in betting then choosing the asian handicap option for Manchester City -1.5 and maybe higher like -2 or even -2.5 is an option that I think still guarantees a win.
But yes, all choices come down to each other's self-confidence, because for me betting in this way is the best way for me because Manchester City also not ony win by a narrow margin.

What's more, Manchester City looks not doing well in the title race, so Pep Guardiola will certainly use all means to give Manchester City a big win in this match.
Playing away is also not a big problem for Manchester City, because Pep Guardiola does have the ability to be able to make his team play well even though they are playing away. Because it is clear, Manchester City so far this season is also still fairly good for a good end result when they play away.

Sevilla will get the chance to get out of the relegation zone when they face Celta Vigo. Yes, it is an open opportunity for them because Celta Vigo himself is in more or less the same situation as Sevilla. The statistics they got from this season do not have a significant difference, they are only 1 point away in the standings table. If Sevilla want to get out of the red zone, they have to win this game and they will manage to shift 2 or 3 teams.
Sevilla is in a bad form of their life. Having dominated the Europa League football for a couple of years, they have been playing terrible football.
From having a poor league season to firing their manager.
I think it is an opportunity to move out of the relegation zone considering the caliber of opponents they are facing this weekend.
They stand a good chance of winning the match against Celta Vigo.

Indeed, Sevilla has a good record when playing away so playing against Celta Vigo can be a big chance for Sevilla to get out of the relegation zone. Also, this is the first match after the break, so we still won't know for sure if Sevilla's performance can be better than before or maybe there won't be any changes.
Because basically, in my view Celta Vigo is not a weak opponent at all, so any result can still happen.

But after I consider the record of home and away matches from the two teams so far this season, at least it seems like what I said before that Sevilla does have the ability to get good results when playing away.
With these considerations, even though so far this season we can assume the two teams have the same situation, but Sevilla will still have a better chance of winning this match.

It seems that Atletico Madrid will find it a bit difficult in this match, I don't mean to underestimate Atletico Madrid considering their performance has been quite bad this season and maybe Elche will be a tough opponent for them. Even though Elche is at the bottom of the board, of course they also want to get better results in order to lift their standings and keep them away from the relegation zone this season.
I don't really believe that Elche can make it difficult for Atletico Madrid. Even if Atletico performance is below par, Simeone army is still very tough for Elche. Atletico will try to win to shift the position of Athletic Bilbao who are in fourth place, Atletico and Bilbao both have 24 points. Victory is very important for Atletico to improve their performance, especially since Real Betis are also peeking at Bilbao and Atletico made a mistake to get into the top four.

After all, Elche is the only team in La Liga that hasn't won at all so far. What's more, Elche will play away when he plays against Atletico, this will certainly be a difficult job for Elche to be able to gain points.
You can consider when a big team that is performing poorly compared to a weak team that is also experiencing poor performance, does that mean that a weak team can beat a big team in terms of quality.

I think it's funny, the team that so far still hasn't won at all but compared to the team that is ranked fifth. Because basically in terms of the quality of the players, coaches and team management it is also clear that Atletico is still better.
So this moment will certainly be the right moment for Atletico to get full points, because Betis will also play against Bilbao which of course Atletico will also take advantage of this moment to win.
Because if one of them Betis or Bilbao wins and or gets a draw, at least with Atletico's victory over Elche it will keep Atletico's position in either the top five or even the top four.

If Liverpool want revenge, I guarantee they will lose. But if Liverpool want to play better and try to win the match without holding grudges, then I think Real Madrid are definitely in trouble. The goal of both is the same, that is, they both want to win. But obviously I would expect Real Madrid to win over Liverpool.

I watched Liverpool's performance yesterday against Aston Villa. Their performance is now much more organized than before. Liverpool played very well against Aston Villa. If they can put up such a performance against Real Madrid, it will be very difficult for Madrid to beat Liverpool. Without Benzema, Madrid's attack is not strong enough. I don't think it's possible to beat Liverpool with a weak attack.

But the reality is that Liverpool can still concede goals, right? Which means, even though Liverpool have a good attack line, that doesn't mean Liverpool can't concede. Because with such an imbalance it is not enough for Liverpool to be able to win with clean sheets when playing against Real Madrid later.
Because even if for example Benzema is still unavailable, in reality Real Madrid's attack line is still quite strong, because they also have experienced players in their midfield.

With Real Madrid having a good midfielder, then of course these factors will be very supportive for Real Madrid's attack to be very dangerous. Anyway, we can't completely underestimate Real Madrid because after all, even though Real Madrid looks to be in a difficult situation but in the match, for Real Madrid any result can still happen.
But yes, apart from that I also hope there is something new maybe with Liverpool beating Real Madrid. Because then it looks like the Champions League will be more colorful, because Real Madrid is not always a strong candidate to win the title.

20–30 years is a big joke, mate. As seasons come and go clubs make changes in both their coach and players so if Milan don't go far this season , next season might see a new shape. Al though the last time the CL cup went to Seria A was in 2010, but that doesn't mean Inter Milan can't do it again in 2023. The World Cup break was enough for all qualified Clubs to make corrections to the mistakes they encountered in the CL group stage. I hope to see an interesting CL with more suspense and less accurate predictions.
I expect Napoli, Inter and Milan this season to really show their best in the Champions League. These three teams have a good chance considering that their opponents are also not that strong. Frankfurt, Porto and Tottenham are not very strong teams, but they can also go far in the Champions League this season instead of falling short in the last 16.

In Serie A, the competition between Inter, Napoli and Milan is always expected to be tighter. Napoli lead the standings, but they must not be too arrogant to declare themselves unbeaten. Milan must have hopes and opportunities to make Napoli fail in the end.

I'm still very unsure about Serie A teams in the Champions League and indeed, in the past Serie A teams have been very good teams to compete in the Champions League. But for the current era, I think the Serie A teams are still not strong enough to be able to go further or go further in the Champions League.
What's more, Milan will play against Tottenham, so I think the chance for Milan to qualify for the next round is very low. But yes, for Inter and Napoli the chance to advance to the quarter-finals is still possible, considering they also have easier opponents.

But even if these Serie A teams qualify for the quarter-finals, I personally really believe that they will probably fall in the quarter-finals. Which means, I still don't believe any Serie A team can reach the final in the Champions League at this moment.
Because for them to maintain good performance in Serie A alone, I think it's still quite difficult for them. Moreover, the opponents in the Champions League are the best teams so for me personally, Serie A teams at this moment are still not strong enough for competition even further in the Champions League.

The game that was so thrilling between Arsenal against West Ham United last night, when I found out that Arsenal had missed out in the first half through a penalty goal from West ham player Benrahma, I immediately thought whether Arsenal would lose this match? But the second half continued and Arsenal managed to turn things around with a score of 3-1, this result also made the distance between Arsenal and Man City even further to 8 points.

But Manchester City will also only play against Leeds, of course Manchester City will win full points. But if for example Leeds can surprise at least with a draw, then of course Arsenal will still be fine at the top of the table.
But considering Manchester City's current position which has even been overtaken by Newcastle, I am very sure that Manchester City will surely beat Leeds maybe with a big score.

But considering last night's match between Arsenal v West Ham, basically Arsenal had also scored a quick goal but unfortunately, Arsenal's quick goal was disallowed so that in the first half West Ham won 1-0.
But really, actually I doubt Arsenal will win but that prediction was before the match started, and with Arsenal trailing behind in the first half with 1-0 I also thought maybe my prediction would come true. But in reality, who could have predicted that Arsenal would be able to score three quick goals in the second half, and this result also proves that Arsenal are still in their best form so far. Of course, this form and performance can still make Arsenal's position secure at the top of the standings.

It wasn't such a bad idea to try to build a fresh team to play with good team work without relying on Messi to carry the team. Indeed Barcelona's biggest flop this season was getting eliminated from the champions league, good thing they have another chance in the Europa league to rewrite the wrongs this season. If they can win the Europa league it could erase their failure in the champions league from the minds of the public.
I don't expect Barcelona to fail again this season in the Europa League even though its journey to qualifying for the last 16 is never easy. Beating Manchester United was a tough task, I never thought it would be easy but this season Barcelona and their players seem more experienced than ever.

Even I don't think Barcelona's failure in the Champions League this season hurts too much, that's because I recognize the superiority of Bayern Munich and Inter in the group stages. But after that failure, I think Barcelona are looking stronger now and they have to do something in the Europa League. I believe in their ability and in their players, so there is hope to win and qualify even if it means against Manchester United.

Something that has become a big question in my mind is why Barcelona has always been in the same group as Bayern Munich in the preliminary group in the Champions League for the last two seasons. At least this is a big consideration for me too, because that way it puts pressure on Barcelona who are currently forming a team after Messi's departure so that they continue to get enormous pressure.
But indeed, Barcelona should still be able to finish as runners up in the Champions League yesterday but it seems, Xavi is still not able to make the team's performance as good as the team's performance in the local league.

Apart from that, Barcelona's situation and conditions this season are indeed better even though they were eliminated from the Champions League but unfortunately, they still have a difficult opponent in the Europa League because they have to play against Manchester United.
Because last season when Barcelona experienced an increase in performance in La Liga, but in the Europa League in reality Barcelona were still eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt. With these considerations, playing against Manchester United is not an easy job for Barcelona and I think their chances of winning are not very good.

Manchester United had good chances to earn 3 points today against Nottingham Forest this should be easy win for them and i know Nottingham Forest in the positive period after only get 1 lose from 5 matches but obviously Manchester United is more good especially from squad quality and probably Ten Hag will played Rashford again as centre striker considering he has performing well previously and on world cup and i expect the higher odds for Manchester United today but apparently the bookie only provide @1.32 for them but so far indeed this is the safest bets for this match
Nottingham forest was only doing a good job once it was able to won against liverpool. I see no chance for nottingham forest to get full points against united. Moreover, Rashford is slowly going even better than before. MU may be coming back again to destroy nottingham like burnley but who knows if nottingham could give us a surprise against MU by beating it and yeah, that's how EPL must work. The small team should able to prevent the big team to get points easily.  Cheesy

If I consider the big teams that competed from yesterday's match, then I might be able to conclude that the big teams are in a good trend at this moment. Indeed, not all big teams can win because it also depends on the opponent they face, even for today's match I personally only believe in Manchester United but not about Chelsea.
Even though Chelsea will also be playing at home, for some reason I feel unsure if I have to bet on Chelsea at this moment.

But yes, if I consider how well the big teams are performing when playing at home then of course betting on Chelsea and Manchester United to win in today's match would be good.
But for some reason because Chelsea's performance was also not good before, then maybe I will miss it but for Manchester United I personally am quite sure that at this moment Manchester United under Erik ten Hag is the better team. Therefore, I personally have no hesitation in betting on Manchester United for today's match against Nottingham.
5391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 27, 2022, 09:47:38 AM
I have not yet seen any team that can compete with Bayern Munich,  as for the first position no other team can get it. Union Berlin had opportunity for the first position but they couldn't maintain it. Bayern Munich shows more quality and good performance than other Bundesliga  team.
if we look at Bayern Munich, they are only 3 points away from SC Freiburg, and even then, if Bayern Munich loses several games and SC Freiburg can maintain the game without losing points, of course SC Freiburg can get rid of Bayern Munich at the top of the standings

Bayern Munich winning the Bundesliga is not a big deal. I can categorically say that it is their birth rite just as it is that of PSG in legue 1. When the season started newly , Union Berlin threw up some early surprises, though I didn't expect them to win the league but I however expected them to last longer in the number 1 spot and that will definitely make them remain in the top 4. But I was disappointed.
The Bundesliga is for Bayern Munich while the Champions League is their major challenge.

Basically this season, if competing teams like Dortmund have a better and more consistent performance, then I believe Dortmund will be able to have a big chance to end Bayern Munich's dominance. But unfortunately, when Bayern Munich's performance has declined this season, what has happened is that competing teams like Dortmund have also experienced a decline in performance that is even worse.
With a result like that, of course, Bayern Munich will again take over the top of the Bundesliga standings for sure, and when Bayern Munich has returned to the top position, of course it will be more difficult for other teams to take over the top position.

I'm sure, if at the beginning of the season it was Dortmund who were at the top of the Bundesliga standings, and not Union Berlin who managed to become the team at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Then it is very possible, currently Dortmund is still at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
Because Union Berlin is basically not a team that competes in the Bundesliga title race from previous seasons, so it's natural that in the end Union Berlin will return to the position they should be in.
5392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 27, 2022, 08:14:08 AM
I do not have the slightest doubt that Barcelona will not be difficult, the maximum that can happen is a draw in one of the matches, but clearly not a defeat. So the situation in the standings will continue to be difficult.  They do not depend heavily on Lewandowski, so it will not be difficult to rebuild the lineup, it is their main advantage
A draw is clearly not Barcelona's goal when facing Espanyol let alone losing. They are only two points ahead of Real Madrid who are in second place, Xavi will not waste the opportunity for an additional three points even though he cannot play Lewandowski in this match. Xavi still has several reliable strikers, the situation will not make it difficult for Barcelona especially when they are playing at Camp Nou, Barcelona will try to do their best to secure their position in the first place.

against Espanyol, Xavi is certainly optimistic that he will get 3 points. Espanyol is not a strong team this season. they are only marginally better than teams in the relegation zone. it shouldn't be a difficult thing for Barca to overcome Espanyol easily.
getting 3 additional points will be good for Barca to increase the difference from Madrid. because now Madrid will continue to follow Barca.

Even though I am also very sure that Barcelona will still win against Espanyol even without Lewandowski, but I feel that victory for Barcelona will never be easy. Because after all, teams ranked below can sometimes provide strong resistance, moreover Espanyol at least has a pretty good record by having several draws when playing against Barcelona.
So yes, I'm sure that at this moment Espanyol can still provide a difficult resistance for Barcelona, but for the final result I still believe that Barcelona will win full points.

Anyway, even though a team is already at the top of the standings, basically they will sometimes still get less than optimal results. But because this is the moment which is their first match after the break, then of course they will be able to play as expected, especially for top-ranked teams.
Unless their match schedule is tight again with the European league schedule, then it is possible that the absence of several key players will have a negative impact on their performance, but at this moment I'm sure that won't happen.

Everton really let me down, for destroying my multi bet. Because even though I only bet with the double chance option for the Everton match, Everton still lost by Wolves, which basically Wolves this season is not very good. Even the statistics show that Everton can at least control the game and in the end, Wolves can make the decisive goal at the end of the match.
It was a goal that certainly made all the Everton players very sorry, because they had reached the final minutes of the match to get at least one point.

If it continues like this, it is very likely that Everton will be relegated, because Everton is very difficult to get good results consistently. Even though they can make a quick goal like a big chance for them to get points, or at least they can also focus more on their defense.
Because the decisive goal for Wolves' victory was created by a quick counterattack, previously Everton continued to put pressure on Wolves but Everton couldn't convert the chances into goals until they finally lost at home which of course this was a bad result for them because they lost at home.

It is rumored that Marca, if in the past Madrid were indeed interested in him. But having chosen to stay it means Madrid won't be looking forward to him coming. Right now they've got Vinicius and that's more than good. They don't want to bring in players who could ruin the locker room. In addition, with a high salary, it will make Madrid spend a lot of money. I think Madrid are interested in bringing in a pure forward in place of Benzema.
I feel so too, real madrid were interested and wanted to sign him when his contract was over at psg, they would have signed him as a free player, and worried about only his salary, but he decided not to go to madrid and signed a new contract with psg, he would be very expensive right now. He is a valuable footballer, one of the most valuable footballers in the world, so it will take a lot of money for madrid or any other football club to sign him. Mbappe is going to stay in psg, they are giving him a lot of things to make him stay, even if those things are what is spoiling him, if he leaves psg for another team without receiving the same treatment he may turn out to be a problem in the locker room, he and psg are good for each other right now, and it will stay like this.

Lol, how do you think Real Madrid would want to sign Mbappe for free? It's funny I think, because Mbappe is a young player who has so much potential from time to time, but you assume that another team will get Mbappe for free. lol!
Because as a young player who has great potential, the contract will not be allowed to expire without having value for the team, unless the player is too old which of course will not get a new contract so that other teams can get it for free.

But for Mbappe, who still has a long future, then of course PSG will continue to make new contracts so that every team that wants to get him is of course at a very high cost. Also about Real Madrid, they are used to spending a lot of money on luxury players in their squad, so recruiting Mbappe at a high cost is still possible for Real Madrid, but the problem right now is not about money but because of PSG and Mbappe himself.
So yes, there is no problem with Real Madrid's finances because basically, PSG are still retaining Mbappe and Mbappe himself has chosen to stay at PSG, so Real Madrid cannot get Mbappe at this moment.

Assuming the weak strength of the opposing team is a big mistake made by a team. Barcelona and Real Madrid will not reduce the tension of their attacks in this match, especially Barcelona who want to maintain their position in first place. On paper, Barcelona can easily score three points from Espanyol, moreover most of Barcelona's main players are filled with players who have strengthened their country in the world cup. Even though Espanyol can make it difficult for Barcelona, the chances for Barcelona to win this match are very large.

After taking a break for more than a month due to the 2022 world cup, this season's La Liga is back on track. El Barca will face Espanyol at Camp Nou, but what is unique in this fight. the absence of Lewandowski, who received a red card, during the match vs Osasuna. We don't have any information regarding Barcelona's appeal regarding Lewandowski's red card. so, most likely Lewandowski will be doubtful to play in the match later. and if Lewandowski must be absent, who will replace Lewandowski. I'm sure Barcelona will find it difficult even though Espanyol is not a difficult team for Barcelona to conquer. Barcelona also have matches against Atletico Madrid and Real Betis, if Lewandowski's sanctions do not get a reduced appeal. certainly, it will be a loss for Xavi's troop squad to maintain the top of the La Liga standings.

So, do you think Barcelona doesn't have any other players apart from Lewandowski, so you assume it's difficult for Barcelona to score goals if Lewandowski can't be used? To be honest, I am surprised by your way of thinking like that, because it seems that you only think that Barcelona can only score goals because of Lewandowski, while Barcelona still have other players.
In fact, the Barcelona squad is currently filled with luxury players, of course, even though Lewandowski cannot be played, Xavi will be able to make a good rotation.

Unless this match is a final match to fight for a cup, then of course a player like Lewandowski is really needed in the match. But this is just a match against Espanyol, a team that is currently in the bottom area of the La Liga standings, which of course Barcelona will still be able to score goals and win the match.
What's more, this match will be played at Camp Nou which is a big support for Barcelona to play well, so whether or not Lewandowski is in this match, of course Barcelona will still win.

At least I'm satisfied with my own prediction that I'm not sure about Tottenham to win because in reality, the final result is a draw with a score of 2-2 and I only bet with the total goals option. Indeed, in terms of the quality of the players and the team, of course, Tottenham is better and even, statistically, Tottenham can lead the match.
But unfortunately, just leading from these factors is still not enough because the situation and conditions in the field can of course be very different.

Amazingly, Brentford scored a quick goal and won at half time with a score of 1-0 and then Brentford managed to lead with a score of 2-0. At least this result proves that Tottenham are still not strong enough and can't be consistent but yes, at least Tottenham are still lucky because they managed to equalize the score to 2-2 in a quick way.
I can't imagine if Tottenham lose this match, then of course their position will be very uncomfortable because Manchester United continues to follow with a close gap in points.

Roma does have a chance to compete for that top-four position. But the problem is they will have to win everything from now on. They cannot afford to lose any matches. And they will also have to pray for the other teams so that the other teams lose as well. There is nothing to worry about because the point difference between the two teams is not that significant. So they have a very high chance of getting into the top four very quickly. But as I have said if they lose any match they will not be able to achieve that. Roma has to understand that and the players and the coach will have to take 100% accountability. From this point, they will have to understand that if they win, they will be successful and if they lose it's on them as well.

the season still leaves quite a lot of games. Rome does have a possibility if they perform well enough in every game. to keep winning, of course, it will be difficult to get a consistent game with opponents who are of course at different levels. but at the very least, they could secure an important point.
competing with inter for the top 4 looks like it will be interesting. but I'm worried that Roma might find it difficult to catch Inter.

Rome still has a chance to finish in fourth place. But the problem is their inconsistent appearance is certainly very difficult to realize that opportunity. Even though they have a squad that is competitive enough this season to compete at the top flight. Finally, they also had to lose in a trial match against Cadiz. Jose Mourinho certainly has to rack his brains to revive the Giallorossi's game. I think The Special One must return to looking for players in the January transfer market to cover the weaknesses that have occurred so far.

If so, then there is no chance for Roma to be able to finish in the top four because to be able to finish in the top four requires very high consistency. Meanwhile, so far Roma has not had a stable performance, even though Roma were coached by Mourinho but still, Roma are still difficult to compete to be able to end the season in the top four.
At least moments like this have also happened from the previous season, in fact, during Mourinho's first season coaching Roma, they were able to start the season well by being in the top four.

But unfortunately, Mourinho again and again can't keep Roma in the top four well, because as time goes by they will continue to weaken.
Therefore, even though at the moment Roma only has a three-point gap with the team in fourth place, I still don't fully believe that Roma have the ability to be able to end the season in the top four. Maybe you consider that the close points gap still allows Roma to be in fourth place. But for me personally because this moment has also happened from the previous season, I really believe that Roma are still not strong enough to be able to finish the season in the top four.

I was not expecting Arsenal to be in the first position on the table, but it is not a surprise for me because that is sport and that is football as it is sport, anything can happen, you can even see an underdog win a league or cup, but the chance is only small, but possible. Arsenal started very well this season, they are now in first position which is getting farther little by little if they continue what they started well in an excellent way as they started it. World has been finished now, I hope their players will not deteriorate but play better because I go for Arsenal this season after obtaining the first position, because the club is worth it.

Arsenal surprised and at first we thought, that they would not be able to hold out for long, but as we see, they maintains his leadership and even increases the advantage. Today they play with West Ham, the opponent is not the most difficult and it's good to return to the Premier League comfortably. Tottenham were not so lucky, they went to Brentford today, and these guys can create problems. Tottenham need to win if they want to keep their place in the top 4.

Basically, in my personal view, Arsenal are not completely perfect, because even though so far Arsenal are still at the top of the Premier League standings because at the same time the competing teams are experiencing bad results. For example, Manchester City is a strong candidate for the title, but who would have thought Manchester City lost at home in the last match before the break yesterday when they played against Brentford.
Therefore, Manchester City also had bad results with two draws and two defeats, but Arsenal only got one draw and one loss.

With a record like that, of course, competition in the Premier League will be very difficult because usually, strong teams until the season break at least they don't lose.
But what happened to Arsenal, they can still be beaten, and with a result like that, I think Arsenal are still not strong enough to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League standings. Also, for Arsenal's match against West Ham, I personally am not completely sure Arsenal will win because West Ham is also not a weak team at all.

One of the interesting games in the next round is betis vs bilbao both teams are with the same number of points bilbao in the fourth and betis in the sixsth position, while things were great for bilbao before the break betis need a win to wipe away the huge loss to valencia in the last round, the game will be in betis stadium but still athletic bilbao are a tough team to crack i expect the game to end in a draw.
I agree with you. The game is most likely to end in a draw. Real Betis is a very good team with a lot of top quality players and a very good manager. However, I observed that they had a bad form towards the break before the world cup. In my estimation, with the low participation of most of their players in the world cup and a good preparation during the world cup break with some quality friendly matches against teams like Manchester united, this will help to improve their form in the second half of the season but I will go for a draw because both teams play fantastic football.

Actually if I consider them from the previous few seasons, then I can conclude that Betis is still the better one compared to Bilbao. Because from the previous few seasons it was very difficult for Bilbao to break into the top six, because usually Bilbao only struggles in the middle of the standings, for example in positions eight to eleven.
In contrast to Betis, they have been impressive in the last few seasons, because Betis can consistently compete in the top six.

So yes, if I consider their position from the past few seasons then I would go for Betis but unfortunately, at this moment even though they are level on points I consider that Bilbao have a better chance of winning. Even the record for home and away matches so far this season in fact Bilbao looks better and thus, I doubt the quality of Betis at this moment.
Assessment of their performance from the previous few seasons did not impress me with Betis this season because after all, this season seems to be very different for Betis, whose consistency seems to be doubtful.

The European League is indeed filled with strong teams. the competition is tough and we can see that everything is an exciting match.
Barcelona did very well in La Liga, but they lost in the UCL. I don't think Xavi and Barca want them to fail again in the Europa League, even if it means silencing Man United. I believe all teams are trying hard to get their top performance. this is not an easy word because after a long holiday and starting again with the league. the coach may need time to rearrange the squad.
Of course they can't do the same thing as last season when they also had to be eliminated from the Europa League.
This is their only chance to get more money apart from the domestic league they are in so that their financial condition in the calculations will not be as negative as before.
They have to prepare for everything possible and Xavi as strong as possible has to be able to make this profitable for Barcelona because in any case they need the Europa League now apart from securing Xavi this is also used as a big momentum in the season to come because if they fail to come back they are basically expensive players those who are brought in will be considered a failure and so will Xavi.
Nobody loses at wish. If it is the wish of Barcelona they will like to win. But football is not by wish but what you play on the field. Xavi has tried Champions league and failed and was pushed to Europa and he failed again.
This season the same history wants to repeat. Barcelona has failed in Champions league and have been pushed to the Europa League and there is every signal that they may fail again this season

I don't understand what "wish" you mean because after all when they play on the field, then of course they have the "wish" to win. How can they play without having a "wish" to win, and "wish" will always be there, it's just that their way of getting the "wish" to win is different so the results are different.
But apart from these problems, basically last season Barcelona had a very good chance of winning the Europa League title compared to this season.

Because last season also Xavi has succeeded in providing improved performance to Bacelona which was initially in the middle of the La Liga standings and finally, Xavi managed to bring Barcelona back to the top four.
Also, last season Barcelona got an opponent that was easier on paper, but who would have thought that the team that managed to get rid of Barcelona from the Europa League so that finally Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europa League title. At this moment, Barcelona is getting a more difficult opponent, because Manchester United has also had a better performance this season.
So that Barcelona's chances at this moment are quite worrying, because it looks like they will also be more focused on La Liga which is currently competing with Real Madrid.
