Honestly I don't expect a surprise this season because there are even more big teams in the Europa League compared to the previous season. One of them will be eliminated certainly after the Barcelona - Manchester United matchup though but there will still be many left.
The Europa League has become as competitive as the Champions League this season. Several Renowned teams are performing in the Europa League this season. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win the title. However, a team between Manchester United and Barcelona will be eliminated in the next round. But also big teams like Roma, Ajax, Arsenal, PSV, and Juventus will play in Europa League. And so it is very difficult to say which team will win the title. If Manchester United can end the group phase in first place, then of course Manchester United will not play against Barcelona because the team that won the group, they will only start playing in the next playoff round. With Manchester United only being runners-up, then of course Manchester United must have deeper preparations. Because in this round Manchester United will play against Barcelona, so of course Erik ten Hag will not risk the final result, and Erik ten Hag will play all of his main players. Because basically, what usually happens is they might play second-tier players if the opponent is not Barcelona, because against Barcelona of course they have high prestige. But even though this is a big match, I think if the result might be difficult to score because maybe the gameplay is more defensive then of course it will still be boring. Because it doesn't guarantee that a big match like this will be interesting to watch for all 90 minutes, unless they play so openly that they produce lots of goals then of course it will be more interesting. |

I have seen the news related to the bribery attempt by Qatar even on BBC so I guess it is not only a rumour now. They must have really tried to do this but they have been caught. They tried to bribe 8 players from the Ecuador squad for millions of dollars. Even if it stays as a "rumour" it has already made me uncomfortable. I just hope that Qatar lose all of their matches starting with this one. Ecuador are already a much stronger team than them. Qatar may be the host country but I still think they will lose here.
I hope to see a decent World Cup in this country. We are about to watch a World Cup in November for the first time and we shouldn't be regretful about this later on. Besides I hope that we don't see another World Cup being organized in a time except the summer. It is always better for supporters and players both to have this tournament in the summer. It is good for players too because they don't have to deal with an extra tightness in their schedule with their teams in a season.
It would be a shame if that really happened because it made the tournament unhealthy again due to bribery and or match-fixing practices, but hopefully it's just a rumor because I'm sure there is an investigation team that has good accuracy to prevent or uncover practices like this. But regarding the Qatar and Ecuador teams, for me these two teams are not strong teams but indeed, Ecuador has a better chance because they have strong gameplay too. But that doesn't mean Qatar has completely lost its chance to get points, because at least Qatar can still hold Ecuador to a draw in this match. So, with predictions like that I think Qatar doesn't need to cheat because that is also a form of their lack of confidence in this tournament. After all, pure gameplay would of course be better even if the results weren't optimal, because that way they could assess their strengths and weaknesses. |

Ronaldo is the most talked sports person on the internet now, while everyone is angry about the whole situation, I think he deserves an accolade for his bravery and being able to speak up. I believe he even spoke the minds of some other players and some other members of the staff and hierachy. It looks like the club owners are comfortable with the current condition, poor facilities, not enough infrastructures and poor performance. Ronaldo will always remain my hero.
A player merely needs to be brave and confident to tell the public about such a significant issue in the team. Yes, he must have spoken the opinions of others and been more well-liked by them, but he gave little attention to the repercussions. However, a player like Ronaldo has nothing to lose because he has achieved so much and will continue to be influential in the world of football no matter what he does or says. I believe that Ronaldo made a horrible decision by playing for Manchester United again; he did it out of love and compassion for the team. But the fact is that Ronaldo is still like a player who lacks achievements, because if Ronaldo is satisfied with all the achievements he has got so far then Ronaldo is more able to accept his situation at Manchester United. Incidents like this happen for a reason and one of them is that Ronaldo no longer gets many minutes to play, so Ronaldo begins to dare to express his heart or his disappointment. Because if he makes excuses about family problems, I personally am not sure about that and maybe only as a diversion or a self-defence. Also, if Ronaldo's actions represent his teammates, then who are they, because if these actions represent the players around him then of course they will make a defense too. But in fact, I don't think any of his teammates are trying to reconcile this situation, because so far there is also no info about other players involved in this matter. |

Barcelona only weakness this season when facing big teams, this condition that Xavi must immediately overcome. Barcelona failure in the UCL was due to not being able to compete with Bayern Munich and Inter, in La Liga Barcelona also lost to Real Madrid.
The world cup break gives free time for Xavi to improve Barcelona weaknesses, the chemistry between the players must be well established, Xavi must also awaken the players' mentality so that they are better prepared when facing big teams.
When Xavi benched Frankie for Gavi, played Busquet every game for 90 minutes, and bought Alonso, This is what they get, and the cost is being kicked out of the Champions League. Barca has been relegated to the Europa League twice and is burdened by a heavy debt. Bad down and no trophies again. Basically the Barcelona squad is already good and maybe, the problem is only in the strategy or tactics that are not quite right and Xavi still can't adjust it. So, in my opinion Barcelona needs a coach who is more precise and doesn't need any more players at this moment, because it would be useless if they were still hunting for players if the strategy was still not suitable for the existing players. Therefore, I personally don't think Barcelona lacks great players, because with them being able to compete strongly in La Liga at least it proves that Barcelona is already better but not in total. That is, if Barcelona is better in total then of course Barcelona will also get good results in the Champions League, but what happens is Xavi is still having the same problems as last season. In fact, in fact last season and this season the Barcelona squad has changed and of course it's better this season judging from the squad factor, but Xavi still can't maximize gameplay with the squad he has. |

Yes, no one can match their performance in the Bundesliga. No matter how good the other teams are against Bayern Munich, they can handle it very well. They were talked about a lot at the start of the season when they had some unsatisfactory results from a weak side in the Bundesliga whose domination was coming to an end. However, in just a few weeks they were able to take over at the top of the standings and now they can even sit comfortably. Not only that, they can also refute their assumptions about Lewandowski with the evidence on the field.
In fact, without Lewandowski, Bayern can be still strong, moreover with the arrival of Mane. Bayern still becomes the best club in Bundesliga. Although they were facing a quite hard condition previously, in fact right now, they are in the top standing again. Like the previous seasons, I am sure that Bayern Munich will become the winner of the Bundesliga again. This may be boring right? But, what's else we will expect from this? So far, Dortmund sometimes become the hardest competitor of Bayern Munich, but this season, they are not in their good performance. They are only in the six positions with a big difference in points. The Bayern competitor right now is Freiburg and Leipzig, but the pints are also quite big. SO, the chance for winning is higehr enough for Bayern Munich again. After all, Bayern Munich has good management, and at least these factors make it possible for Bayern Munich to be consistent from season to season to remain the best. Even when Bayern Munich didn't get good results at the start of the season, I personally was still very confident that in the end Bayern Munich would still be the team that won the Bundesliga title. Because of the several results that occurred in the previous seasons too, sometimes Bayern Munich experienced results that were not optimal. So that the position is a little threatened and or still cannot be at the top of the standings, but again and again in the end Bayern Munich will still return to the top position. Therefore, at least the competition in the Bundesliga will still exist and if other teams in the Bundesliga can maintain their performance, then it is still possible to break Bayern Munich's dominance. But the problem is, so far no team has been able to maintain its form throughout the season, and the only team that has been able to maintain its good form for longer is Bayern Munich. Thus, of course, Bayern Munich will always dominate the league from season to season. |

In my opinion, it is too imposing for players of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's class to continue playing matches, at an age that is no longer possible to continue strengthening AC Milan, because AC Milan has never given opportunities for young players to develop, so in my opinion it is too forcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to play every game. important match, in my opinion he deserves to retire, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic often loses the ball and sacrifices his colleagues to chase the ball, in my opinion it will always be troublesome for his colleagues, talking about winning or not the Scudetto this season, it is very difficult to predict who who will come out as Champion this season, of course that is still a question because all teams are equally strong and still have a chance to win the Scudetto this season...
I think Ibrahimovic has had his time and at his age should be thinking about retirement or playing for a lesser intensed league or small team to give way for other up comings to get a chance to show and prove themselves. Keeping Ibrahimovic at the club at this level is not a good idea because there are other younger players and even senior players seeking for an opportunity, players like Origi can still take Ibrahimovic's place. lol! After all, no team is forcing Ibrahimovic to continue playing, but Ibrahimovic himself chose to continue playing and Ibrahimovic is free to choose to retire and also continue to play. In this case no team is forcing him and because Ibrahimovic is still available in the team, then of course the coach will play him when Ibrahimovic is fit and will not play when he is not fit. I wonder, when you say Ibrahimovic continues to play, do you know how much Ibrahimovic has played so far this season? In fact, so far the fact is that Ibrahimovic has not played at all because he is still injured. Also, there is still no notification from Ibrahimovic himself whether he chooses to retire or not. That way, Ibrahimovic does have the desire to continue playing and not a team that forces him to continue playing. Every player is free to choose and they can retire at any time and if you know, recently it even happened to Gerard Piqué who suddenly decided to retire even when the league was still rolling. At least that can also happen or is very likely to happen to Ibrahimovic, because basically it's time for Ibrahimovic to retire. |

Marseille is 6 points behind from second placed Lens in the points table and only 1 point behind from Rennes. Closing this point gap should not be too difficult if Marseille is able to perform consistently well. However, it will not be easy to occupy second place in the table. Lens has been performing very well this season. Lens has been defeated in just one match. I think Lens and Marseille will fight for second place in the table. But it is difficult to predict how the teams will perform after the World Cup. We should wait, and make predictions about the teams by seeing their performance after the World Cup.
Marseille is second-best club in French League, and mostly they are having spot behind leaders PSG in last few seasons but in current season we have some amazing performances from few clubs like Lorient and Lens with Rennes is also doing good but right now Lorient is slipping badly with having no win in last five matches but Lens and Rennes are still doing amazing job which is surely going to be tough challenge for Marseille because now if they want to stay at top then surely they have to improve their performance and quality which is not easy with Monaco is also doing good even in last game they lost against Marseille at home but still they are also good and quality team in French League which is capable of having good position. If Marseille can do better and at the same time Lens has good consistency too, then Marseille will still find it difficult to keep close to overtaking second place. But indeed, even though there is a fairly wide point gap like for example 10 can still be pursued, but with the note that the team above it cannot maintain consistency. What's more, Marseille and Lens only have a six-point gap which, of course, is a point gap that on paper can still be overtaken. However, this is the third season for Lens playing in Ligue 1, and I think it's too soon for Lens to finish in second place. Because in the previous two seasons Lens had only been able to end the league in seventh place in the standings, and of course that was good consistency for Lens as a promotion team. But with such consistency, it's still quite possible for Lens to be able to achieve a better position this season, such as for the top five and not in second place. But if Lens really can end the season in second place, then of course it is a big achievement for them which is achieved in a fairly short time too. |

Yep. Atletico Madrid should have a chance to return to the top 3. There are still too many remaining matches, it is not something impossible to reach. However, Atletico Madrid competes with some teams that have a small point gap for that position. They also performed inconsistently, they often got defeated or got a draw result when they are against smaller teams. With this condition, I think it won't be easy to return to the top 3. Simeone must find a suitable tactic and improve the mentality of Atletico Madrid players to increase the chance of getting 3 points in every match. This is the only way to return to the position (top 3/UCL zone).
It's easy for them to do that, but it's much more that many fans expect from Atletico Madrid. They want Atletico Madrid to be a title contender with Real Madrid and Barcelona, not just to be in the Champions League zone. They are also very bad in the Champions League, they are at the bottom of the standings and are unable to win a position at least so they can play the Europa League Play Off matches. How is it possible for a team as big as Atletico Madrid to only get 1 victory, while they are the favorite team in the group they occupy. Atletico don't always have to get three points in every match because after all, their point gap is still very close. In fact, the points earned in fourth, fifth and sixth positions are the same at 24 points and indeed, when changes occur they can drop quite wide and rise quite high. Anyway, Atletico just need to be consistent not to lose too much, at least consistently not to lose too much, which means the result is about wins and/or draws, and that will still be good for Atletico's position. On paper, Atletico certainly still have a chance to finish in the top four, the problem of being a team in the title race is not too important because La Liga is a competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona. So yes, with Atletico being able to consistently finish in the top four, that's already good for Atletico, and the chance to get it still belongs to Atletico because they are also not far behind. |

Ronaldo has put himself in problem. The interview of Ronaldo might affect him and run is career down. I think Ronaldo went too far to say things that is not necessarily for anyone to hear. It is very bad to expose the home you belong no matter how bad it is.
Do you think that CR7 wasn't aware about the consequences of his speech? I believe that all what he said was planned to be exposed in order to piss ManU as much as possible and whether he leaves the club or force Ten Hag to say goodbye. Obviously CR7 is no longer a key player and ManU doesn't care much about him anymore. So the deal here is clear: coach > one player. I think he was kind of fed up of situation inside the club. It isn't just ten Hag, its everybody he dragged in that interview except few players. Yeah kinda knows about consequences but feels that it is better to move out of the club also. I also kinda agree things need to change at United. Definitely not the way it was used to when Ferguson was there. It is clear that Ronaldo no longer wants to be at Manchester United any longer, because with his attitude that is no longer friendly, it is like leaving the match before the game is over and now making a statement that will certainly have a reaction or impact that will be caused. So with that, maybe this is a form of Ronaldo's disappointment that he no longer gets more playing time. Therefore, it seems certain that Ronaldo will leave Manchester United in the transfer market later and as I have also said, that this kind of attitude will certainly have a bad impact on judgment and of course as a top player this kind of attitude is very inappropriate to express. Because as a top player, Ronlado should be more able to show or show that he is able to recover even though it is a long process. Instead of getting something desired with that attitude, but an incident like this would probably only make it more difficult to get a new team later because they were also worried about the same thing. It doesn't matter if the player is a top player with a high salary, because if his performance has decreased, of course the team or coach will not hesitate to put him on the bench more often. |

The Serie A started to be really enjoyable since Juventus' domination finished. Juventus became the champions nine seasons in a row until the 2019/20 season. Finally we started to see different teams starting to win the league title after that. First Inter and after that Milan reached the title. This season it looks like Napoli will be the champions. It would be a very meaningful championship for them at the same time by the way. Because it has been 30+ years since they got their last championship here. The only boring part might start depending on if Napoli open the point gap with the others much more and finish the season earlier than the expectations. But I will still enjoy the league anyway because we will have another different champion team.  It doesn't matter if Napoli can have a very wide points gap because if Napoli don't have a very wide points gap, then I think Napoli will be overtaken again. At least with Napoli having a very wide point gap later on then Napoli will win the title for sure and that will be interesting, because every season Serie A gets a new winner. Because as time goes by, the three teams that previously won their Serie A title are slowly getting back up and will still be putting pressure on Napoli who are at the top of the standings. Therefore, I personally hope that Napoli will be able to maintain their performance so that they continue to be strong at the top of the standings. Because the league will continue and at least there is still a meaningful second half of the season, there is still no guarantee for Napoli to be able to win the title, unless Napoli already have points that can no longer be chased. |

Arsenal dream and belief in becoming first in the standings has come true, which is a tough thing for them to maintain their position because the match is still not over and there are still several opponents who are ready to target or seize Arsenal's position, at least they have to be careful and apply defense. which is very strong so that it is not easily penetrated by the opponent.
Arsenal and Man City are strong candidates for the EPL champions this season. They compete quite fiercely. But if I choose Man City more convincing me. They have proven to be quite stable over the past few seasons. At the moment Arsenal are just healing, I don't know if they are quite capable of defending to the end. Because the competition has a long time and has many matches. Those who are able to be consistent they will win. It's no wonder that many have chosen Manchester City as a candidate for the EPL winners this season, because they won the EPL title for two consecutive seasons. Meanwhile, Arsenal have become a new challenger for the EPL title after not being seen at the top of the table for a long time competing for the EPL title. Even so, the season will still be quite long and it is possible that Liverpool will also rise again and become a barrier to Arsenal and Manchester City. Last season it was Liverpool who challenged Manchester City, and now that role has been taken over by Mikel Arteta's team. Manchester City are big favorites because many people have seen their form have stabilized in recent seasons, and this season they look more promising because they have talented young players who are hungry for goals in their attack. Arsenal will have to keep up appearances if they don't want Manchester City to take over where they are now. Because now they rely on themselves to always give their best, no matter how small their mistakes make Manchester City ready to pounce. There is a five-point gap between Arsenal and Manchester City, of course anything can still happen, but when it comes to which team has the greater chance of winning the title this season, then I will answer Newcastle. Maybe it's a silly choice but for me it's not, because Newcastle's development is very fast I think it's something that really threatens the top position. The reason is, Manchester City has not been so perfect so far and in fact, Newcastle started from the mid-table but now Newcastle only has a two-point gap with Manchester City. I think it's clear that Newcastle will be very surprising this season because the team around him is not stable enough even if it is Manchester City, I still don't see their stability so far in the Premier League. Maybe Manchester City will focus more on the Champions League because that is also their main target, so maybe they will lose their consistency in the Premier League. Therefore, I believe that Newcastle, which is only focused on the Premiere League, will at least have a more stable performance in the Premiere League at this moment to take advantage of and maximize the existing situation. |

The main goal of the big clubs is their league title and the Champions League. But this season is a little different. Many big clubs are now performing in Europe leagues. But still the main sign of every team is its own league title. Barcelona and Arsenal will be looking to secure their league title. And then they will want to win the Europa League title. But as a common spectator we would definitely like to enjoy a competitive league.
It is certain that this season's European League will run very competitively because there are many big teams in the Europa League this season after several of them failed to perform better in the Champions League. And for Arsenal and Barcelona I see that both of them still have to fight harder to get their own league title, as well as the Europa League title which will look fierce after the Qatar world cup. I say it all the time, like almost every day these poor players, they play too much.. the pace is not sustainable there's no use paying them billions, you have to go back a little more normal salaries and fewer matches (but of quality) with exhausted and tired players games are BORING Yes indeed, their salary is indeed very large and we or maybe it's just me who are just ordinary people, think that is a very high salary for an athlete. Because in reality, every individual also has his own lifestyle and problems, which of course more or less these factors will affect their consistency as well. Well, an example is like an expensive player like Hazard but in the end he's just more on the bench. Factors like these make me, as an ordinary person, judge that their salaries are no longer reasonable. Also, as time goes by, of course there will be moments where a player breaks the record for the most expensive salary. But yes, if they can be consistent it's not a problem, but if they can't contribute big to the team then of course it's a big loss. But about Arsenal and Barcelona on paper they still have a chance to go further but yes, it's not easy and that's if I only consider their big names. |

They can be said to be a dark horse club now, even though Club Brugge is indeed a concern in the group phase because actually they are not very favored, but when I see Benfica's condition which is as good now, I personally feel Benfica will be superior.
But even so they also can't underestimate Club Brugge because they are also full of surprises this season in the Champions League and they might be able to surprise again if Benfica underestimates this club from Belgium.
Benfica will be the favourite, but Brugge is a very dangerous opponent for them - firstly, Benfica may overestimate their advantage over Brugge, because before the draw they were probably afraid to get Manchester City, Bayern, etc. into rivals. and when they got Brugge 100% they were happy. Secondly, Brugge seem strong - in the group stage they conceded goals in just one game, and in the rest they either won with a clean sheet or played 0-0. But in the end Club Brugge got a defeat which means, Club Brugge is also not completely consistent to maintain their good record in the group stage. But regarding Benfica until the end of the group phase matchday, Benfica did not lose and also, basically PSG was a strong opponent and won in quality but Benfica was able to compensate. With this difference, of course I personally don't doubt Benfica for this match which seems to promise a definite victory. I hope I'm not exaggerating, because I'm looking at it from a possible perspective in judgments that I think are the appropriate judgments for what happened. Because indeed, when a team is highly favored it can be an unexpected blunder. However, I personally am very confident that Benfica will still advance to the quarter-finals, because fortunately for Benfica, they are up against a team whose quality on paper is not much different in the round of 16. |

Id love to see Athletico Madrid changing him for another coach if I am correct he has stayed good ten years as the coach of Athletico Madrid. Those defending tactics don't work in these modern days football.
The time of Diego Simeone should come to an end at that club.
You have stated the truth absolutely; those defending tactics are just not applicable anymore in todays football; it kills the confident of your attackers and makes your midfielders and defenders do extra work that leads to fatigue and loss of morale. I hppe Simeone can be alittle flexible in his coaching tactics, or he would be replaced as the gaffer at Atletico Madrid. Also, if Simeone wants to continue that kind of football; then he needs to start winning matches Any strategy will still work well if they have the right players to implement the strategy and also, if they are more focused on defensive lines or defensive strategies. So, of course, Atletico must have midfielders and attackers who can move quickly, because many of the mediocre teams also carry out counter-attacking strategies and the results are good too. That is, if a mediocre team can get good results from implementing a counterattack strategy, then when this strategy is implemented by a top team, then of course the strategy will produce good results too. Even though Diego Simeone has indeed been here for a long time and that could become an icon for Atletico as well, that doesn't mean Diego Simeone has to last forever. Because Diego Simeone himself is still under contract with Atletico until 2024, which of course over time Atletico will have a new coach. |

After Portugal defeated Nigeria 4:0 and Israel defeated Zambia 4:2, Portugal is prepared to perform in this World Cup match against Ghana. I wish Ghana luck as this World Cup will be difficult and interesting.
Another god thing from the game is that Portugal was still able to play well and win without their star player Christiano Ronaldo. It shows that they can do well without him still in their world cup games. I feel some players who are overshadowed by Ronaldo whenever he is playing will be happy with the opportunity, they have had to show how well they can still play without Ronaldo on the field. The conditions which Nigeria played them today will not be the same conditions that the other African country in their group Ghana will play with. Ghana will want to show that they earned their place in this competition. I'm sure, if Ronaldo plays in this match then of course Ronaldo will take a penalty kick and because Ronaldo doesn't play in this match, Bruno Fernandes is a player who is more or less likely to replace Ronaldo's role in Portugal because that also seems to be happening at Manchester United. Also, in the World Cup both Portugal and Nigeria, on paper they are indeed the team that has a better chance of winning the group. So that in Portugal's first match against Ghana, I personally don't doubt Portugal's quality and of course Portugal will win its first match in Group H. But about Nigeria, even though they have a chance to win when they play against Guinea Bissau in their first match, and also have a good chance to win the group. Still, if I look at the final results of their several matches so far, Nigeria will never be easy to win the group. Because they are also not very productive in scoring goals in every match, so big efforts will of course still be needed for Nigeria if they target to win the group. |

Barcelona and Manchester United match is expected to be great. Can't predict which team will win. The players of both teams are quite intelligent and skilled, but Manchester United's players are more skilled. We will enjoy the match.
yes this match will definitely be fierce, the challenge of the match for Man United and Barcelona, the two teams who are inconsistent in their performance, must beat each other. Barcelona and Man United have met in the UCL twice even in the Champions League final, now they meet in the play-offs of the Europa League. It's interesting who will qualify for the next round. So I thought, the Europa League will be as exciting as the Champions League. True that. But Man UTD would want to take advantage of Barca poor performance in the champions league The Catalan Giants would prove to be worthy rivals as they've been able to win the red devil's a total of six times and maybe looking to do so again, plus Xavi would not want to give in easily because it seems this is like a second chance given to him to at least make the fans not totally disappointed with them. Who knows, this might be where Man UTD strength would be tested. After all, Manchester United also didn't play well in the group phase matches and if Manchester United plays well, then Manchester United will be able to win Group E. Although indeed, Manchester United have the same final points as Real Sociedad with 15 points, but is that can be a reference that Manchester United is difficult to beat teams from La Liga. Also, if we consider the quality of the players, at least Barcelona has better players in every line but unfortunately, Barcelona is still not in its best form so there is no guarantee that Barcelona will win either. So yes, this match will still be interesting but regarding whether this match will be a high-tension match like in the Champions League, I think it will still be different. Because in the Champions League they have big plans with big prizes too, but here in the Europa League they may only play with prestige but not a prize as their motivation. Therefore, the tension might not surpass the match in the Champions League, especially if Ronaldo leaves in the transfer window later, then the tension in this match is unlikely to be as big as one might imagine. |

After so many years this is the team and the coach I believe in would make us see Gunners winning trophy. I think they are doing great. They have beaten almost everybody except for United who did played well and had a good plan in that fixture. I think we are gonna do well and will be consistent but it's the big games like game against City about which I am worried about. Of course if City drop more points then not an issue but likely is that they won't then it's gonna create lot of pressure for Gunners before facing City.
Yeah Arsenal biggest challenge will be Man City. And they will prove their credibility as title contenders against City. But I think that shouldn't be there main priority but trying to rank up many points against lower oppositions and forget about just city game. I still believe they could beat City after watching city game against Liverpool I don't think Liverpool can be used as a benchmark or comparison, because even Liverpool so far this season have been bad playing against mediocre teams, but great playing against top teams and it's a different situation with Arsenal. Therefore, I don't think Liverpool can be used as a comparison, and instead of Liverpool being used as a comparison, why not compare it with Newcastle? Because Newcastle and Arsenal have been very impressive so far this season and also, Newcastle managed to hold Manchester City to a draw even with a big score like 3-3. Maybe I think the two teams are currently performing at their best, so it seems quite appropriate to compare Arsenal to Newcastle at this moment. With this comparison, I am also quite sure that Arsenal can still provide a difficult match for Manchester City, but to win the title this season I am still not completely sure about Arsenal. |

Actually Napoli and Inter both are very productive teams. I mean that Napoli have scored 37 goals in the league so far while Inter's is 34. This is really impressive for Inter even though they are 11 points and four places away from Napoli now. However Inter's main problem is with their defense obviously. Because they have conceded 22 goals until now. They are already among the most conceding teams in the league now. When it comes to their win rate in big games in the league, it is 20%.
I mean that they have played against Milan, Juventus, Lazio, Atalanta and Roma so far and beaten only Atalanta. They lost to all of the remaining opponents. This is another big problem for them against Napoli. Even though they are going to play in Giuseppe Meazza it doesn't matter for Napoli. Because Napoli are beating everyone no matter it is home or away game.
Yes, true, they are not far apart both in terms of goals and points. But on paper, Inter have a much stronger team: he always manages to throw everything in the garbage, I really can't stand this team. They should win everything but they don't, and they blame others. Seems like very immature behavior to me. I don't think Inter have a stronger team because even in head to head at least Inter don't dominate too much to win. This proves, even though Inter looks like they have a better squad, the reality is that Inter have never been easy to beat Napoli from season to season. Therefore, with a situation like this where Napoli is performing well and is in a good position in the standings, then of course Napoli still has a very good chance of winning. Also, considering that maybe there will be some changes after the season break, but I'm still pretty sure that Napoli will still have a better chance of winning. Because after all, this season is the right season for Napoli to maintain its performance. Yes, it might still be difficult to win the match and of course it's not easy, because as a top team, of course, Inter will make greater efforts to be able to stop Napoli's run at the top of the standings. But even so, I personally believe that Napoli will not lose this match and even if Inter can play well it looks like it will only result in a draw. |
