In my opinion, betting on Chelsea victory would be safer, even though Pochettino squad acts as the visiting team, and Chelsea percentage of wins is quite high. Overall, The Blues performance is slightly better than Crystal Palace, Pochettino has to fight hard to break his team bad trend in the last two matches, and an additional 3 points could make Chelsea break into the top 10 of the standings. There is not much pride that Pochettino can offer this season, and beating Crystal Palace in the closing match of week 24 is a condition for getting out of the pressure.

Chelsea are not taking part in European competitions this season, but that does not make them lucky in any aspect in domestic competitions, it is very likely that the Blues will end the season without a title. What worse is that Chelsea will also miss next season in European competition, Pochettino efforts to create consistency almost always fail. In the 23 matches they have played, Chelsea have only achieved 9 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats. Currently the Blues have only pocketed 31 points and sit in 11th place, one level above where they finished last season.

In the next few hours Crystal Palace will host Chelsea, and they also don't want to waste the opportunity to secure full points at home, Palace will take advantage of the setback that Chelsea is currently experiencing. There is a possibility that Crystal Palace can create a surprise by beating Chelsea, but I rate the chances of them doing so as very low.

If De Rossi can make his team perform as well as they did against Inter Milan, I'm sure they can win the play-off match against Feyenoord, because I saw them playing quite well. The defeat against Inter is understandable, because we know Inter has been very strong this season in various competitions. De Rossi should forget about the defeat against Inter, and shift his focus to Feyenoord, I hope he can achieve victory in his first match in the Europa League.

It is very possible that Roma will produce a different performance in the Europa League, because it all depends on who their opponent is. It's natural that some fans doubt Roma, because De Rossi still has very little experience. However, he can become a manager like Xabi Alonso who is currently coaching Leverkusen, and that requires a process that takes quite a bit of time.

The best scenario is to draw at Feyenoord and win at home, maybe that sounds more realistic in my opinion. All other possibilities could happen, we'll see if Roma can reach the final like last season under manager Mourinho.

As long as Mbappe is still a PSG player, rumors of his move will always be a topic of conversation, and the media will never stop linking him with Madrid. It's true, so far Mbappe still hasn't decided where his future will go, whether he will stay in Paris again or be willing to move to Madrid. Sooner or later Mbappe will also leave, and the possibility of Mbappe leaving is at the end of this season, because he will be on a free transfer.

However, what is interesting is how if Mbappe really goes to Madrid, it will change the formation that has been formed in their front line, maybe there will be players who will be released if Mbappe comes. This season Enrique must be able to make maximum use of Mbappe presence in the team, where he can be a differentiator in the UCL and can make PSG talk a lot even though he is not the favorite.

So far PSG is safe enough to lead the Ligue 1 standings, they can prioritize the UCL without worrying about being overtaken by their closest competitor Nice. I think that the difference in points that has been created will not be able to be reduced again by Nice, because PSG appear very consistent in Ligue 1, I predict they will remain consistent in the remaining matches of the second half of the season.

For Argentina fans, winning the next World Cup with Messi in the lineup is certainly an honor. However, we have to look at it realistically, that Messi age is no longer young, and he will certainly provide opportunities for younger players to continue their struggle. It does sound very bland, when a mega star is no longer on the field at an event as big as the World Cup, but then again everyone has their time and every time there is their person.

It is true that all decisions are in Messi hands, and of course the Argentine national team management will certainly call him back to develop younger players. However, that is still a very long time away, and I think Argentina will appear in the 2026 World Cup, they will definitely be able to get through the qualifying rounds smoothly. The World Cup quota has been increased, and the opportunity to get there is quite big.

On the other hand, the Copa America is the closest competition that Messi will probably take part in, if there are no changes to the schedule it will be held next June. I think it's a good opportunity for Argentina to marry the World Cup trophy with the Copa America trophy, for now Argentina is the defending champion.

Bayern Munchen could play with a different performance in the Champions League, where Tuchel fleet could still be the favorite team as usual. However, Bayern defeat in the Bundesliga can at least be taken into consideration, even though we cannot use it as a complete reference for assessing their future chances. I believe Bayern will perform optimally in the UCL, because they already have difficulty competing with Leverkusen at domestic level.

However, Bayern journey will certainly not be as easy as we imagine, it is possible that they will be eliminated early when facing fellow favorite teams. For the round of 16 itself, I have no doubt at all that Bayern can finish it well. It all really depends on Tuchel, how he fixes the club to be able to talk a lot in the UCL this season, if they can't win the UCL then Bayern will be fasting for a title this season.

I think ups and downs in performance are very natural, and Kane arrived at the right time to help Bayern have better bargaining power in every competition. It could be that Bayern failed miserably this season, and they will be a great success next season, that is all very possible in football.

The first half has finished, Milan leads with a 1-0 advantage over Napoli, Theo Hernandez managed to score a goal for Milan victory in the 25th minute. There is still one more half for Napoli to make a draw, even though it is very difficult to do. In the first half, Mazzarri troops had not had a single shot on target, even though Napoli were slightly ahead of Milan in possession of the ball. I think Milan will play defensively in the second half, to keep them ahead and secure full points. Pioli will definitely rotate his players, and will change his strategy to reduce Napoli attacks. If Milan plays carefully then it is possible that the score will endure until the final whistle blows.

Everyone will retire in time, and Ancelotti is no exception. There will be a worthy successor to become Madrid coach in the future, Zidane is the one who deserves to take on that role. However, that is still very far ahead, currently Ancelotti is celebrating the victory they achieved over Girona, and the additional 3 points make them a little comfortable in leading the La Liga standings. However, Madrid is a club that has dominated La Liga for decades, the increase in strength experienced by Girona has not been able to break Madrid dominance.

Barcelona and ATM could be beaten by Girona, and indeed I was one of those people who was surprised at that time, because I initially believed that Girona would definitely lose points. However, Michel squad has proven that they are able to overcome these two elite clubs, but there is still a second leg, where Girona will also face other tough clubs in the future, and the pressure they will receive will be much more difficult than the first half of the season. What is clear is that Girona has made La Liga even more lively than in previous seasons, and their current achievements are indeed worthy of appreciation.

Regarding the experiment carried out by Ancelotti, I think the Italian coach did it very geniusly. Ancelotti choice of placing Tchouameni as a central defender proved to be effective, he could complete his task very well. It can be seen that this season Madrid is experiencing a crisis in defense, Alaba, Rodiger, Militao are still undergoing treatment, but Ancelotti has managed to overcome it with various experiments which are considered full of risks.

To be honest, overall none of the Chelsea players have appeared impressive this season, almost all of them have played below the standard to be able to compete for the EPL trophy. I see that Palmer is one of the players who might be close to the club needs, in my opinion Enzo himself is still very far from expectations, his price is not commensurate with the performance shown.

It could be that Enzo performance in the Argentine national team is good because he is supported by more experienced players, whereas at Chelsea he doesn't get that kind of support, because the average age of the Blues players is around 23.4 and that is still very young. Rumors that Enzo wants to leave Stamford Bridge have actually been denied by his own agent, he is not going anywhere and feels at home in the Blues uniform, he said.

Enzo reportedly offered his services to Barcelona, but I think this is an unreasonable rumor, because we know Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis. Chelsea could let the player go, but I am sure that even if this rumor is true, Barcelona will not be able to afford the price set by Chelsea. Despite all that, I think Chelsea squad will improve next season, but if Pochettino is still head coach, I doubt that.

Arsenal have indeed lost their balance some time ago, now Arteta squad has performed consistently and is back on the trophy hunt track. Arsenal latest victory over West Ham is indeed a signal for Liverpool and Man City, Arteta certainly does not want to repeat mistakes like last season painful one. The competition for the top four will probably become more complex when European competition starts again, of course the ups and downs in performance and scale of priorities will be the challenges they face in the future.

I think the tight competition will continue until the end of the season, and for now it is still very difficult to guess who will be able to win the EPL trophy this season. There are 14 remaining matches in the second half of the season, and there are still several tough matches that the three clubs have to face, one of which is the match between Liverpool vs Man City which could provide an opportunity for Arsenal to climb to the runnerup position.

On paper, Man City is still the team that has the biggest chance of retaining the EPL trophy, because in fact they still have one other match against Brentford. However, before that, Pep has to face another tough match against Chelsea next week. If City stumbles then Arsenal and Liverpool will be very lucky.

One of the best ways to stop gambling is to be self-aware, a lot of advice will have no effect on those who still want their money back, most gamblers are not willing to deal with the losses they experience while gambling. Making the decision to stop gambling may require a long process, because usually conditions are more important when they stop, Such as running out of assets or money that they can use for gambling capital. In the end, most gamblers realize they no longer have anything to use as capital, and they realize it time to stop.

On the other hand, there are also those who stop gambling because work requires them to work full time, and does not allow them to play land-based gambling, but they also cannot do it online. such situations are very likely to occur, but most gamblers who stop because of work factors will usually return to doing so when they have free time. I think one of the best ways is to be self aware, decide to change and no longer gamble in any form.

In my opinion, women are more susceptible to losses when gambling, because the way they make decisions in risk management is very different from men. Men prioritize logic while women prioritize feelings, and in fact patterns in gambling do not change when there are differences in gender. Based on my observations, only a few women are addicted to gambling, indeed there are several places where elderly grandmothers gamble (I saw it in local media reporting raids on illegal gambling places), but most of those who gamble are men. It is understandable that, gambling is a game about luck, and does not differentiate between genders, because no one can predict the odds with certainty. The victory achieved is not always based on how they make decisions, but the biggest difference may lie in the courage to take risks.

These additional three points mean that Man City is keeping its distance as it prepares to take over the top of the standings from Liverpool, while still having one match postponed against Brentford in the future. Everton are still sinking in the degradation zone, they are struggling to get out of there even though I still believe they are likely to stay in the EPL next season. It's not an easy job to steal points at the Etihad, Pep now has a complete squad to make everything theirs.

Overall Pep is very happy with the fit of their two mainstay players, Halaand and De Bruyne at the right time. Apart from being able to bring them consistency in the EPL, Pep really needs these two key players in the UCL, which will be played in the middle of the week. I think Klopp must be fully alert, if he wants his farewell to Liverpool to be full of joy, City is very ready to defend the trophy and win it back this season.

On the other hand, in the other match between Wolves and Brentford, I was surprised to see Wolves to drop points at home, even though we know that last week they managed to beat Chelsea by surprise at Stamford Bridge. Their performance actually is quite good this season, and they managed to slaughter several elite EPL clubs previously.

Xabi Alonso and his squad deserve praise after beating Bayern Munchen 3-0. It was the most difficult job of the season, and they did it very well, everyone will be impressed with Xabi polished squad. That right, there are 13 remaining matches in the future, I see Leverkusen chances of winning the trophy getting higher after beating Bayern, and I think they are only worried about the future meeting against Dortmund, apart from that I think Leverkusen can sweep all the remaining matches clean with a win.

Bayern Muchen this season has been very disappointing, even though they have Kane up front, it can't make them always succeed in winning. So far Bayern has suffered 3 defeats, while Leverkusen is still able to maintain their unbeaten record. In my opinion, it is very likely that Bayern dominance over the last decade will soon be broken, hopefully the Europa League doesn't make Leverkusen lose their balance in the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga having a new champion after a decade may be normal, but for Leverkusen to achieve it with an unbeaten record it would be extraordinary.

Inter Milan proved that they were very ready to lock in the Scudetto this season, a very dramatic victory under the pouring rain that covered the Stadio Olimpico. Roma gave Inter a very troublesome match, the first half was completely owned by De Rossi troops, and in the second half Inter managed to make a comeback. With capital to continue their adventure in the Champions League, Inzaghi squad can now shift their focus with no worries to Serie A. Meanwhile, Roma, under manager De Rossi, will continue their adventure in the Europa League with feelings of anxiety, but it is not impossible to beat Feyenoord.

Inter still has one match postponed which they will most likely be able to win too, namely against Atalanta. Where Juventus will remain 7 points adrift even though they can win in the closing match of Week 24 tomorrow against Udinese. The previously established axis of competition for the Scudetto between Inter and Juventus seems to have faded, because Inter seems to be remaining stable even though they are entering a busy schedule. It is hoped that Juventus can continue to be consistent in adding points, who knows if Inter will stumble in the future, so that the points gap can be narrowed, and they will be back on track for the Scudetto race. For Roma this time they failed to get close to the UCL zone, but the opportunity is still very open.

That is a fact that cannot be denied, I just said this in a previous post, regarding PSG being able to become favorites in the UCL as long as they are willing to learn from the way Bayern Munchen manages the team. I think PSG is already quite famous in the world, their fan base is large enough, and it is time to focus on building a club that has competitiveness in European competitions, even though it comes from a league that is not as competitive as the EPL.

Releasing players who no longer want to stay at the club like Mbappe is one of the right options, they can focus on looking for other quality players because they have abundant finances. Luis Enrique has good experience in the UCL, he can present the trophy if management supports him optimally, and keeps him as manager for a long time, like Pep Guardiola at Man City.

For Ligue 1 itself, we have absolutely no doubts about PSG, there is no serious team that will invite them to race in the hunt for trophies. It can be seen that this season is the same, PSG is running alone at the top even though they appeared unstable at the start of the season.

It's true, De Rossi must fight to win the hearts of fans, that he deserves to be Mourinho successor. Roma fans will never forget Mourinho, and what Mourinho has presented during his time as Roma coach. In Roma next two matches, they will face tough challenges because they will face Inter Milan in Serie A, and will have a play off round match against Feyenoord.

I predict that the best result that Roma can achieve when facing Inter Milan is a draw, even though Roma will act as hosts. If they manage to avoid defeat, then Roma will be confident to face Feyenoord here. However, things could change, Roma could lose points to Inter, but they could beat Feyenoord. We have seen surprises like this very often, and indeed De Rossi has started his managerial adventure with a good record.

If they continue to be unbeaten in Serie A and the Europa League, Roma could become one of the clubs that threatens other favorite teams, such as Leverkusen and Liverpool. However, several clubs on the play off route could also be a real threat, such as AC Milan.

PSG should be a team like Bayern Munchen, they come from the Bundesliga which we know is not very competitive, the same as PSG in Ligue 1. However, Bayern is able to become the favorite team because of its collectivity as a team, which does not feature one or two players at a time excessive. PSG should be able to learn a lot from the way Bayern becomes the favorite team in the UCL every season, and change its transfer policy which is focused on big names and star players.

If PSG can build this foundation, I think they can one day achieve the success they are targeting. Apart from that, PSG has a quality coach in the figure of Luis Enrique, PSG management must align their vision and mission with one goal if they want to make new history. On the other hand, it does take a long time for the process to be achieved, just like Man City who achieved it after a long struggle with Pep Guardiola.

Nothing is impossible in football, it's all just a matter of time, because PSG has met the main indicator, namely abundant finances. The journey will begin again by facing Real Sociedad in the round of 16. Enrique really understands the strength of the La Liga representative, because he has experience when he coached Barcelona in the past.

There are two interesting matches in Serie A in Week 24

AS Roma vs Inter Milan

In my opinion, Inter Milan has better bargaining power to steal points when they visit Roma headquarters. Indeed, there is increasing motivation within the Roma club, after Morinho change to De Rossi. In general, Inter will most likely continue their positive trend towards leading the standings, De Rossi's capacity and quality will be tested in this match.

AC Milan vs Napoli

A very cliche match, two elite Serie A clubs who failed to challenge for the Scudetto due to their inconsistency. Milan only has the ambition to continue to be in the top four of the standings without being able to disrupt Inter dominance in the trophy hunt, and Napoli has indeed lost its identity as defending champion. On paper, Milan has a chance to secure full points, but Napoli cannot be underestimated either, it is better to avoid betting on this match.

It is indeed very difficult for Girona to steal points at the Santiago Bernabeu, they need a miracle to be able to secure full points in the match. Madrid opportunity to widen the points gap is very open, and we know that Madrid is the only club that can beat Girona so far. However, a draw is also very possible considering the ambitions of the two clubs to continue competing in the hunt for trophies in the future. In essence, Girona is not a team that can be considered to be on the list of title contenders, as the season progresses their strength is very consistent, also the unstable performance of Barcelona and ATM gives them the opportunity to continue to be at the top of the standings.

On paper betting on Madrid winning would be very safe, even if the returns were small. Apart from that, Ancelotti will definitely field his best lineup to minimize the risk of losing points, indeed Ancelotti still has to experiment with his defense now. If you look at the percentage of opportunities, Los Blancos has almost a 70% chance of getting full points, Girona only has 14%. This is a match that can be a test of strength, as well as capital for Madrid to face Leipzig in the last 16 of the UCL.

We understand what Everton are feeling right now, an additional three points is like a lifeline for them to survive in the Premier League, the sanction of deducting points has made them suffer in the degradation zone. On paper it looks like their intention to get the 3 points will likely be delayed, because the team they are facing is Man City, and the match will be held at the Etihad. I see that Everton chances of stealing points are very low, and indeed they need miraculous intervention to be able to do it. Man City cannot be beaten by surprise, but their current statistics show that they will secure full points and overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings temporarily.

For Man City, the match against Everton will be good capital ahead of the Champions League last 16 match, they will face Copenhagen there. Of course Pep will motivate his team to show their best performance, so they don't lose points which could cause them difficulties in the future. Everton themselves will be in the degradation zone and they will find it difficult to get out of the red zone in the near future. Last week they managed to hold Tottenham to a draw, and they can maximize their potential to force City to a draw in the opening match of week 24.
