Barcelona's defence is weak as we have seen it in the last few seasons. Koeman could not strengthen his defence. Xavi spent a lot of money to build the team but Barcelona's defence is still weak. Xavi has yet to find the right player for Barcelona's defence. While Barcelona's defenders can play well against weaker teams, Barcelona's defenders perform poorly against renowned and strong teams. However, until the defence improves, Barcelona will not be able to form a strong squad fit to win the title.
Xavi spent lots of money for nothing. He can be considered as the worst coach for barcelona. That means even though he played for barcelona in the past and it doesn't mean he can become a good coach for the team. barcelona needs to sell lots of players to get money. It has been losing potential income caused by it has been leaving from champion league. Taking another financial clever is not even possible anymore in this situation. So much money being wasted for nothing. We are still far away until the next transfer season will be opened in january.
Sacking xavi would become the best decision that can be taken but since barcelona in the financial trouble and i don't think barcelona can do that.


Barcelona's attack is strong, now Xavi should continue to try to strengthen the defence.
It's not as strong as real madrid or even bayern. The barcelona players have weak mentality.

Basically Barcelona's current problem is only with their coach, if Barcelona has the right coach then with the composition of players that Barcelona currently has, I believe the Barcelona squad is already supporting them to win many titles. If Barcelona is back to being able to win many titles and regain their best form, then surely the financial problems they have experienced so far will slowly improve as well. But because their performance is still bad then of course, their financial problems are not getting better and of course it is a very worrying problem because it is very close to bankruptcy.

Barcelona so far although they look good in La Liga but for other tournaments Xavi still can't rotate players properly, even in La Liga Barcelona's position may still be difficult to win the title because Xavi really doesn't have good progress from time to time.

I can't say that Arsenal has an easy game ahead of them. Indeed Nottingham Forest is bottom of the table. They have earned only 7 points in 12 matches. But the important thing is that Nottingham won their last match against Liverpool. and drew the match with Brighton.
Arsenal fans are underestimating Nottingham Forest just because of their position on table, since they are in relegation level so they are being underestimate which I will advice Arsenal to play against Nottingham Forest just like the way they are playing against other strong teams, nobody believe Nottingham Forest will win their last match against Liverpool, maybe Liverpool was over hyped and they underestimated Nottingham Forest, Arsenal is in tight condition currently and they don't have to lose any match, if they can lose any match they are giving Manchester city opportunity to take over their current 1st position.

So if I bet and pick Arsenal -1.5 or -2.5 does that mean I'm underestimating Nottingham? or should I bet on Nottingham because I can't underestimate the opposing team?
Even though I bet on Arsenal, that doesn't mean I underestimate Nottingham completely.

I think it's natural that many of them say Arsenal will win because after all, luck for Nottingham will also not necessarily happen again in this match and also on paper Arsenal are predicted to win and that is reflected in the odds currently available. Because if I consider the situation and condition of the Arsenal and Liverpool teams, of course they have differences, and I can admit that Liverpool do sometimes lose by weak teams on paper and that result also sometimes happens in the Champions League and or in other tournaments.

But I think at this moment Arsenal is a different team with Liverpool, because Arsenal still have a better progress so far, compared to Liverpool who are still struggling to get back to their best form. Also, because in the previous match Arsenal were held to a draw by Southampton, and made the points gap with Manchester City even closer. So of course, with this pressure, I'm sure Arsenal will be able to take advantage of the opportunity against Nottingham who are indeed a team in the relegation zone at the moment, Arsenal will maximize it to win in order to maintain its position at the top of the standings.

Last night when the score was already 3 - 0 I had turned off the television because I was very sure that Inter Milan would win and be the runner up of the group. This is the second time in a row Barcelona have dropped into the Europa League, after last season they also suffered the same fate.
I just stop to watch it after intermilan has been scoring the second goal to the plzen. The worst achievement by xavi. Why the hell people are still calling him as a good coach. that doesn't even make sense to see that. I remember when some barcelona's players were mocking that wanted to buy them all just like kounde. This guy was mocking chelsea and thiago was doing the same once he was seeing barcelona can't achieve the full points against intermilan.
Just caused by lewandoski became top scorer in the la liga and it doesn't mean the club will get trophies. Top scorer was nothing if your team was not even winning a single trophy.  Grin

Lol, even I won't be sure to watch it for the Inter match, because of course Inter will win against Plzen yesterday, because Inter are also playing at home which of course Inter will win the match. Therefore, I was even sure long before the match started, that Barcelona would be eliminated as happened for Juventus. They both have had problems with the wrong coach, because if I consider the squad they have they should have gone further in the Champions League this season. But sadly, their coach is a complete mess because even though Xavi did well in La Liga but Xavi didn't succeed in the Champions League, and for Allegri it was a very chaotic coach.

But regarding Barcelona and Juventus, it seems that they still have different fates in this European tournament, because Barcelona has been eliminated in the Champions League but Barcelona is certain to continue to play in the Europa League. But for Juventus, because currently Juventus' points are still the same as Maccabi Haifa, it is still uncertain whether Juventus will continue to the Europa League or not.
If in the last match Maccabi Haifa, for example, got points and Juventus lost, then of course Juventus would be completely eliminated from the European competition. But because PSG and Benfica will certainly still be competing to win the group, then of course PSG and Benfica still have a chance to win and if that happens then Juventus will continue to advance to the Europa League.

On October 30, Real Madrid will play against Girona. Real Madrid has played 11 matches this season, winning 10 times and drawing 1. Girona, having played 11 matches and has 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. Objectively, Real is much stronger than Girona. I bet on the victory of the Madrid club.
I haven't checked the odds yet but i am sure odds for Madrid will very low considering Girona is weak team even they were still struggle to avoid relegation zone but there is one interesting thing on their head to head statistics that Girona has been beat Madrid at that time on 2019 but currently is different because Madrid has stronger than 3 years ago but if want to bet probably over 2.5 goals is good for this match this because the odds for this option quite better than Madrid moneyline and i expect Real Madrid will going to win this match with 2 goals margin or more especially Girona has poor defense this season
The chances of Real Madrid getting 3 points are very big because Real Madrid players will have no trouble beating Girona.
Real Madrid has always scored three goals in the last three games in La Liga, placing a bet of more than 2.5 goals is good especially when Real Madrid players are in the best form in La Liga.
I will try to make big bets for Real Madrid to win even though the odds for Madrid are very low.

Real Madrid's odds are currently only @1.2x and obviously those are very low odds, more so Real Madrid will play at the Santiago Bernabéu. Even though it's not a problem to bet on the Real Madrid moneyline but it doesn't feel right at such odds, because after all this is a match that Real Madrid will surely win with a wide goal gap.
So instead of betting big money but low return due to low odds, I think it would be better to choose other options like Real Madrid -1.5 @1.58 and maybe for -2.5 @2.43, I think that option is still promising for Real Madrid got it.

Because at the same time, Real Madrid also still has to win the match to keep away from the team that is in second place, because of course it would be better for Real Madrid to have a fairly wide point gap so that the position at the top of the standings will be safer.
Also, anyway this is a very good opportunity for Real Madrid as a way of venting their anger because they were previously beaten by Leipzig with a score of 3-2. Although it may not have any impact, but usually the big teams when they lose in different tournaments they will be able to continue their unbeaten trend in the local league (La Liga).

On group F Lazio vs Midtjylland that home team in the good condition after beat Atalanta at their domestic league so this proven they are ready to focus for this match and if want to qualify win result is mandatory for Lazio moreover this is good chances to take revenge from Midtjylland because in the first leg Lazio were humiliated with score 5-1 but the good thing is after this defeated Lazio has never been tasted lose again so i am confident Lazio will get full points from this match

I don't know what happened during the match until Lazio lost badly with a score of 5-1 by Midtjylland, if Midtjylland actually has a better way then Lazio certainly will not be easy to take revenge. Because a score of 5-1 is a very big score and it's like when a top team plays against a mediocre team, it's really unpredictable because even in this group the competition will still continue until the last round because until now they have the same points.
I personally am not completely sure Lazio will win in this match, but to bet on the total goals and or choose the option of both teams to score I think it will be a good bet in this match.

Manchester United vs Sheriff that actually home team position looks comfortable because they almost certain to qualify and draw result is enough for them to finish as runner up along with Sociedad but Ten Hag targetting won result through this match and Sheriff not in the good shape after their manager has withdraw before this match so this is good opportunity to Manchester United to get 3 points

Yes, about Manchester United they just need a draw but I'm sure they don't just rely on that factor. At least if Ronaldo plays in this match then of course Ronaldo will have the ambition to make a lot of goals. But even if Ronaldo doesn't score, Manchester United will still play with the target to win and that's for sure, because Manchester United is a big team that must win this time.

Am not really sure that Tottenham can beat Bournemouth this weekend because when I watch their game yesterday I find out that Tottenham are really struggling, an another thing that makes me very angry is that Antonio Conte is too obsessed with playing Emerson Royal, if he did not bring in the Brazilian Tottenham Hotspur would have win that game, why remove Lucas moura at the right wing back Who is an attacking player and bring in Emerson royal who is defensive when you are looking to win a game.

It doesn't matter how Conte places them because if the problem is only with those two players, I personally still strongly believe that Tottenham will win this match. Because for me, if Tottenham's problem is only with them, then how about Bournemouth's problem, and don't Bournemouth have a problem at the moment? whereas they seem to have a more difficult problem at the moment than Tottenham.

Although indeed, all teams certainly have the pressure they experience but because Tottenham are a better team in terms of quality than Bournemouth. Surely Tottenham will be able to overcome the problems they experienced and return to playing well, because the defeat they experienced earlier by Newcastle, at least requires them to be able to get points in this match.


After last week's draw with Southampton, Arsenal will play at home against Nottingham Forest this week. Of course they have to win if they want to stay at the top of the table, considering the difference in points with Manchester City is very small. Mikel Arteta must prepare a good strategy, because last week Nottingham Forest managed to beat Liverpool.
Arsenal will have to be extra wary of nottingham Forest if they don't want to suffer the same fate as Liverpool who are humiliated by the bottom of the table, even though they are favorites in this match. The draw they got last week narrowed their points difference with Manchester City by only 2 points. I still believe this week they will still be at the top, but for the following weeks there may be a shift in position.

Yes, Arsenal is predicted to win in the match against Nottingham but I am really confident that Arsenal at this moment will not have as bad luck as Liverpool. It was something funny and maybe also surprising when Nottingham managed to beat Liverpool, but for the next match Nottingham will play away. Maybe it will be a differentiating factor for Nottingham too, moreover Arsenal will not look down on all teams and they can play with the same strength even though the opponent is Nottingham who are currently bottom of the table.

Old habits dies hard it seems. Lewa went straight to Bayern locker room after the game ended in order to change some words with his ex-teammates but I think he should have moved further and be on his way to Barca locker room and try to motivate them because they just lost and moved into Europa League for 2nd time in a row...Sad. Lewa is a great player but he needs more support from his team because age won't wait for him any longer...

I didn't see this live match until the end but indeed, it was very visible from the face of Lewandowski who was so disappointed even more so when Lewandowski was ready to take a penalty kick. But in the end the referee decided it wasn't a foul after seeing the VAR, so the penalty for Barcelona and the yellow card for de Ligt were cancelled. Lewandowski was really very emotional in this match but he was able to hold it or close it because after all, joining Barcelona was also his choice so Lewandowski had to be ready to accept the risk.

But apart from Lewandowski's disappointment and of course for the whole Barcelona team, I personally think that Barcelona do need a better coach. Because if I consider the quality of players, basically Barcelona have above average quality players, if Barcelona is coached by an exact coach then I think the strategy and player rotation that is applied will give a good final result for Barcelona as well.

Leicester is the team who cannot be underestimate again this time because they were unbeatable 3 times streak and gets 2 wins from that and i noticed their defense quite better now because Leicester can able 2 times clean sheet on their recent matches so Manchester City have to be careful with them because actually Leicester in the good shape but on the other hand because this also good opportunity to gets 3 points and besides that on the paper Manchester City are crearly the favourite and after putting some of key players on the bench while against Dortmund so i assume this time they will play with full team and in my opinion playing with Haaland or not Manchester City will going to win this match
Leicester only won against Wolves and Leeds, also they're draw against Crystal Palace, there's nothing need to be worried for Manchester City. Even though the match will happen on Leicester's home, but it doesn't change anything. If you check on the bookies, Manchester City is clearly become huge favorited which most people also think Leicester will lose in this match.

Leicester can only make a draw, not able to win the match.

Yes, even Leicester's three wins so far have only been obtained when Leicester only played against teams that are ranked lower in the table. The teams Leicester have beaten so far are Nottingham, Leeds and Wolves and they are the teams currently in the bottom three standings for the relegation zone. Also, the teams that have managed to draw Leicester so far are Crystal Palace and Brentford, they are teams who are also in the middle of the table.

So yes, Manchester City should not have a big problem in this match and of course, Manchester City will still win because they also have to continue to gain points because the competition at the top is still tight.


My favorite match for this week is Arsenal versus Nottingham Forex, I am going for Arsenal in this match.

Regarding the match between Arsenal v Nottingham it is clear it will result in full points for Arsenal and in fact, the current odds for Arsenal are only @1.1x - 1.2x and those are very low odds which is certainly very possible for Arsenal to win. Therefore, we will try to find other options for betting such as handicap options, correct scores and also wins in half time and many other options that I think are still possible for Arsenal to achieve.

Considering Arsenal have had a good effort so far in the first half then I think if we bet on the result at half time it will also at least give us higher odds. But about a big win with a wide goal difference too I think Arsenal are still very likely to do it so yes, for example for a full time bet with a handicap of around -2.5 it might also be fine.

Empoli will not be too burdensome for Atalanta even though the Atalanta players also do not underestimate the Empoli team, because this season there have been several examples where teams that are considered trivial have overwhelmed teams that are considered strong so that the results are unexpected. But in this case I am also more confident that Atalanta will get full points when competing at Empoli.
Empoli are not ahead in this match, although Atalanta can't underestimate them, Empoli are 12th in the standings collecting 11 points, this is enough to make Atalanta less troublesome against them, their last three records in previous matches are bad, lost two and won one.
Although Atalanta will travel to Empoli, it doesn't look like a difficult match for Atalanta to get full points.

Their last three previous match records were the same with a loss, win and draw, and for their last three head to head records they were also at least equal to Empoli winning, Atalanta winning and then drawing.
With a record like this of course Empoli can't be underestimated at all and their head to head record is at least a draw for them to dominate, but what's interesting about their head to head is to get the win by way of an away match.

If this trend can still happen again in this match, then of course Atalanta will win because considering their performance so far, of course Atalanta do have a better chance to win.
But even though Empoli can play well I'm sure Empoli still can't beat Atalanta this season, but Empoli can still target for a draw because Atalanta will also certainly still strengthen its current position because Atalanta lost by Lazio in the previous match.

Napoli are doing very well at the moment and they don't feel like Ronaldo. Moreover, it is no longer the Ronaldo who used to be in top form, the years have also started to count for him. Juventus could really use heem, maybe he should talk to the Juventus board again. They are in a very deep valley and a player like Ronaldo can get them out in principle. Same did Zlatan with AC Milan. That was very succesfull.

Yes, Napoli are in a good position to embrace this Italian league title because their performance so far showed that this season will favour them. I don't think, Napoli need player like cristiano Ronaldo in their team before they can win this title, because there are many strikers in Napoli who play more than cristiano Ronaldo in this season, which Napoli coach will not accept cristiano Ronaldo with his age into the team. Juventus coach will be very happy to welcome him back to the team because he has a good record with Juventus that will make their coach to consider him to join the team.

But somehow according to some sources I got that Napoli really wanted to sign Ronaldo, I'm not sure Napoli really needed Ronaldo. Because I think, Ronaldo will only be an obstacle for the gameplay that has been applied to the Napoli team completely will stop if Ronlado becomes their squad. Because when Ronaldo enters the match, automatically all the passes will only focus on Ronaldo, while Ronaldo will get tight guard by the opponent's defense and this will make deadlocks will often occur.

If Napoli just want to increase merchandising sales, I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money just to sign Ronaldo. Because it would be better for them to consistently win the title, at least with an achievement it will also increase merchandise sales and will also increase their income if they can indeed win the Serie A title and shine in the Champions League.

Lewandowski would try to get the Ballon d'Or this season. But he has big obstacles ahead of him. One of them is Barcelona. Because they are most probably going to the Europa League soon. This is a big downgrade and it is really hard for a player to get that prize as long as his team do bad in the biggest European tournament like the Champions League.

The other obstacle and the biggest one is Haaland of course. He has performed incredibly well so far and Manchester City are also doing well in the Champions League. He is already the biggest candidate for the prize.
Although the possibility can still happen but it will be difficult for Lewandowski to be able to make it happen because the competition for the Ballon D'OR this season will definitely be very tight. Apart from the team he is currently playing for may leave the Champions League, the emergence of talented young players will also join the competition. I wouldn't say he has gone downhill, but his moment to get that I think is missed.

In addition to the missed moment, Lewandowski also did not choose the right team, because at first Barcelona was in a difficult situation. But indeed, if for example this season Lewandowski managed to give many titles to Barcelona, ​​then Lewandowski still has a chance to get the Ballon d'Or. But because as it was said that Barcelona were eliminated from the Champions League, then of course it would make the chances for Lewandowski to win the Ballon d'Or have been reduced.
So in this case, I don't think Lewandowski needs to focus on getting the Ballon d'Or. Because after all, personal rewards will come if the player can give all the abilities he has to contribute greatly to every title that the team gets.

So yes, speaking of the Ballon d'Or it is not easy because there are many other talented players who are in a better team. But one thing that does become a benchmark is, about the treble winner for the team where they or the candidate for the Ballon d'Or are in it.
Therefore, considering the current situation of Barcelona even though it looks good in La Liga so far but still, it is difficult for Barcelona to be able to get a treble winner this season so Lewandowski's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are indeed low.

I believe this year's Europa league trophy belongs to hungry Arsenal who are ready to do anything possible to win that tittle.The gunners were able to qualify for the league after they fought it so hard to be in the champions league and they lost their place to their rivals Totthenham.
The team is a very young team that are sure of winning tittles this season after Mikel Arteta upgraded the squad with some new faces who will help the team win tittle,and qualify for champions league next season.
I still don't believe the Europa League trophy will go to Arsenal. because the 2022/2023 Europa League season will be very exciting. there will be fierce competition between Manchester United and AS Roma coached by Jose Mourinho. That is, even though UEFA's status is a second-level competition on the blue continent, the event will still present an interesting competition because there are several elite European teams competing in the group phase.
It won't be that easy for Arsenal to win a trophy in the Europa League this season because the competition will be tougher. It's true that although this is the second biggest competition after the Champions League but the teams that compete are also the big teams who were unlucky in the previous season. Arsenal are superior compared to other teams, but that doesn't mean other teams will let it go easily for them to become champions.

Don't only focus on the big teams in the group stage of the Europa League, because in the next round there will be big teams that are also thrown out of the Champions League and will play in the Europa League.
So the competition is not only for Arsenal, Manchester United and Roma and even, Roma didn't look good in the group stage. Therefore, big teams with great coaches still do not guarantee they will easily advance further in European tournaments, because there will always be unexpected moments that ultimately make these favorite teams get eliminated early.

Not only that, even the previous holders of the Europa League title were Eintracht Frankfurt and in fact, Eintracht Frankfurt was not a strong team nor was it the favorite team to win the title but in the end Eintracht Frankfurt was able to win the title for the Europa League the previous season.
So, the favorites in the Europa League do not completely guarantee they will win the title easily, because even though Arsenal are looking good so far they also have to share their focus on the Premier League. Moreover, they must have a balance between main players and substitutes with good quality, because if they do not have substitutes with good quality then the rotation of players they do will not have a big impact on maintaining the consistency of the team's performance.

What to expect from Ronaldo by Spalletti? I don't think Ronaldo will make much of an impact, maybe it will only add to Spalletti a new problem. His nature at Man United should know what will happen if he brings in Ronaldo.
I think it will be more trouble than profit. If Ronaldo's price is still expensive, of course it will not be worth the gain. I think Napoli are better looking for a talented young forward. It's not buying an old player who is starting to lose his best strength.
Ronaldo can bring more confidence for Napoli players. Also, italian league a bit have a slow playing rythm, so if Ronaldo join to Napoli, he can give a chance to bring trophy since with his skill and his performance, still applicable for Serie-A. Don't forget about money, merchandise sale can help their finance. The only problem is his salary, i'm sure maybe hard for naples to pay him.

Well of course he has a very high salary, but think about the economic return by selling only the t-shirts. Anyone who is a real fan would drool for T-shirts or tickets to go to the stadium to see a champion like him.
If he goes back to Italy it would be very nice, in any team he goes (except Inter).


It seems a little worrying if Napoli recruit Ronaldo, because Ronaldo is very ambitious for a personal record and can not play as a team fully. While currently Napoli are at the top of the standings and even, Napoli so far have not specialized in a player having a lot of goals. If Ronaldo is part of the Napoli squad then I'm afraid they will rely on Ronaldo to score goals, it will certainly be very worrying that Napoli's performance will decline.

But yes it's just a speculation because considering Ronaldo's recent attitude seems to be a concern that should be a serious consideration for the team that will sign him. We really won't know what will happen next because indeed, the gameplay in Serie A can be said to be not as fast as the gameplay in the English Premier League and of course it will be suitable for older players who still want to play.
But I personally really still don't believe Napoli will play like they are now if Ronaldo actually joins, but it's interesting to see whether the transfer of players will actually happen or not.
5793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 26, 2022, 01:57:05 PM
This 3 defeats in a row saw them catapulted to 5th position now and of course this is not very good for those who are supposed to be the strongest challengers.
But in the mirror from before like Lille in several seasons ago, actually things like this can still be predicted because instead of underestimating but sometimes teams that are predicted to be PSG's competitors in the end they always give up on their own.

Marseille's defeat did not escape some of their core players who suffered injuries, of course an unfavorable result for Igor Tudor. as a result, Marseille had to experience three of their defeats in Ligeu 1 and they had to be willing to drop to 5th place. It was difficult for them to remain consistent throughout the matches this season in all competitions, which incidentally they were quite tired with a very busy schedule.
If I notice that Marseille is indeed difficult to stay consistent from season to season, because they always end the season in a very different position. As happened in the previous four seasons, where Marseille always got bad results after previously successfully ending the season in second place and playing in the Champions League.
If that happens again this season, then surely Marseille cannot regain a place in the Champions League zone, but it would still be good if Marseille can still finish for the Europa League zone. Due to a worse scenario Marseille cannot end the season for next season's European zone tournament.

But basically Marseille could still get a point with a draw but it looks like Marseille don't have enough luck, because when Marseille against a strong team the end result is not with a big score. So yes, Marseille should be better at least for a draw, because then the position will be fine in the standings but the competition will still not be easy.

Marseille, do not have second-tier players commensurate with their core players. plus at this time, their focus is more on the Champions League match which incidentally has the second rank with 6 points.
Thursday, Marsielle will play away to Deutsche Bank Park, home to Frankfurt. let's see, whether Marseille will win this match.
Against Eintracht Frankfurt is a tough task for Marseille because even, Marseille in the previous home match also lost by Eintracht Frankfurt. Moreover, Eintracht Frankfurt are currently at the bottom of the standings with 4 points, and Eintracht Frankfurt are only 3 points behind leaders Tottenham. That means, Eintracht Frankfurt in the home match this time will not provide a chance for Marseille to hold it.

Because if Eintracht Frankfurt can win away and beat Marseille in the previous match, then of course mathematically Eintracht Frankfurt will also be able to win at home to beat Marseille. Because this is a big chance for Eintracht Frankfurt to overtake them and even, head to head Marseille really can't beat Eintracht Frankfurt at all.

actually, we can review why Marseille lost at home to Frankfurt.
however, it seems that it is not too interesting for us to review. and in this match, I believe the real burden is on the home team, Frankfurt. because after all they are in the bottom zone.

as we know, they can only get 4 points from four games. heavy burden, for them to fight to win this battle. as well as Marseille, at least they are in second place.
Igor Tudor knows that Sporting Lisbon will not be easy to beat Tottenham, moreover, Tottenham play as the host.
at least, Igor tudor will maximize his team to win the fight. and my estimation, Marseille, will win because the odds are pretty good.  however, we will see the results later.

In fact in the first match when Marseille played at home and lost 0-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt, the result was that Eintracht Frankfurt could win at half time because the goal was created in the 43rd minute. Even though Merseille had been left behind by a score of 0-1 at half time, in reality Marseille did not could develop the game and even in the second half Eintracht Frankfurt were still able to dominate the match.

Even though Eintracht Frankfurt are currently bottom in Group D and I have said it before, even Eintracht Frankfurt can still overtake to the top because Eintracht Frankfurt only has a 3 point gap with Tottenham. Therefore, Eintracht Frankfurt will certainly be more motivated to keep winning and beat Marseille for the second time at this moment, while continuing the good trend of Eintracht Frankfurt in the head to head unbeaten by Marseille.

for Ligue 1, I've explained why they underperform. however, I am still optimistic that Marseille can finish in the top four.

Well, regarding Marseille's performance in Ligue 1 also that Marseille is difficult to stay consistent which means, even though in the previous season Marseille managed to finish in second place but Marseille has a difficult habit of repeating it again in the next season (this season). There are two possibilities for Marseille this season, to finish in the top five at least to get tickets for the european tournament or not at all.

Since Ligue 1 only has three tickets to the Champions League and even then, only the top two teams are confirmed to play in the Champions League as one more place will decide through the qualifying rounds. Because if you say Marseille can finish in the top four, in reality it doesn't guarantee Marseille for the Champions League ticket, but only for the Europa League ticket and also the Europa Conference League if it finishes in fifth place.

This is just a draw out of many games, I don't think this is the start of a declining run for Arsenal. Just because they lost two points doesn't mean Arsenal will lose the rest of the games ahead. On the contrary I think the team will bounce back in the next game and get a win to stay at the top of the table. It was a tough game for Arsenal against Southampton and I'm not surprised that the game ended in draw

All teams lose points sometimes it's inevitable (even City have lost 2 points more than Arsenal at the moment) and it's impossible to predict when it will happen. In the next round, Arsenal play with Nottingham Forest - the worst team in the league, which it is ahead of by almost 20 points. Most likely this game will be very convenient for Arsenal to regain their confidence and score a lot of goals. Nottingham Forest concede an average of 2 goals per game and Arsenal have the second attack in the league - a big score in this game is extremely likely.

Yes indeed, even the top teams that dominate the league from season to season are still likely to be held to a draw and also defeated. So yes, a result like this is certainly a reasonable result, moreover Arsenal also just got a very good performance at the beginning of this season which of course any result will still happen and it can happen randomly at any time and also by any team.
At least Arsenal can still rotate their players well because after against Nottingham, Arsenal will play away against Chelsea in the next match which of course won't be easy. Even though, for example, in the end, Arsenal did not win the title, but at least Arsenal have proven the revival they managed to do and will return to play in the Champions League next season.


I don't think yet with team like Real Madrid and Juventus want to sign in again due Ronaldo age have been 37 years old and actually he doesn't at the top performance right now trough when he still under 30 years old. Realistic for Ronaldo joined wit MLS league before retired from football or he could try playing at small team but doubt want to pay expensive salary from Ronaldo. Probably Ronaldo have bigger ambition keep trying to play on higher level club exactly have team participants on Champion League.
Real Madrid and Juventus let Ronaldo leaving their clubs even back in those years, Ronaldo still performed very impressively. Now his performance is decreasing to the bottom of his career so it would be no reason for these clubs to sign with Ronaldo. The drama and reaction of Ronaldo in Manchester United make other clubs have to consider more. It would be terrible to have a player who can bring conflicts to a coach and other players.

Agree, it will be very regrettable if Ronaldo's move to another top team will only create conflict within the team. Because basically, Ronaldo is not ready if he only has to be a player who is on the bench longer. Can't imagine if Ronaldo moves to another top team in the January transfer market but Ronaldo is more often on the bench in his new team, then it will make his name bad because of his childish behavior.
Therefore, I have also said before that it would be better for Ronaldo to play in MLS or another league that is still ready to pay Ronaldo's high, or Ronaldo could choose to retire as a legend and to keep his name good.

Can't stoppable with Ronaldo ambition actually he want play at European team and ever rejected most fantastic offer from Asian team because he want end his career keep playing at Champion League.
Ronaldo is very ambitious but he must accept a fact that no player can maintain their performance at top of the world forever. Look at Ibrahimovic, he returned to AC Milan and had one and a half of season very impressive. But in the past two seasons, his body is no longer well and his performance is decreasing a lot. However Ibra still felt happy and agreed with his position. Ronaldo should change himself and learn from Ibrahimovic if he wants to continue his career.

The cases of Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo are very different.

Ronaldo who has the ambition to continue to achieve an achievement, then of course Ronaldo will want to play more often and want to play in a team that is part of the Champions League.

In contrast to Ibrahimovic, although Ibrahimovic is a top player, Ibrahimovic is no longer pursuing an achievement. At least as long as Ibrahimovic is needed and he can still play, then he will keep playing but Ibrahimovic has no ambitions for the highest achievement.

While most of us are upset on Juventus , can we take some time and appreciate Benfica ? They are on a roll this year in UCL and last night proved us again that they are indeed a better team than Juventus.

For Juve....I'm still shocked to see Allegri still a coach in this morning as I was 100% sure that he will be dismissed...

You are right, we have to praise them and naturally we have to talk about it (Benfica) because they are winners, and they have played tirelessly, which has made Juventus look like amateurs against them in the Champions League this season by winning the game at the Allianz Stadium and also win at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

I just wonder why they are upset with Juventus because basically, in terms of calculations, Juventus no longer has a chance to qualify for the round of 16. Also, in their first match when Juventus played at home against Benfica, in fact Benfica can beat Juventus. In addition, PSG as the strongest team in this group, in fact PSG could not beat Benfica in the two matches they have lived in this group phase.

So yes, Juventus' defeat last night was indeed a very possible result and even, if for example Juventus could hold Benfica to a draw last night and/or win the match, in fact Juventus will still not qualify for the round of 16, because the calculations are still difficult and will not make Juventus to qualify.

Well, if we had realized this from the start, then of course they could accept the defeat experienced by Juventus, because what should have made the emotions rise was about Massimiliano Allegri. I don't know what Juventus expected with Allegri who has done such a terrible devastation to the team, but they still haven't tried to find a replacement until now.
But regarding Benfica, they really can't be underestimated this season because they look very ready to be able to compete with other top teams in the round of 16 later.

Do you still remember the Madrid legend who was also successful as Madrid coach? Yes it was Zidane, after a long time I waited where he would go coaching he started to say that, although it was still confidential. Could it be to Spain?
Zidane is a good young coach, he has already proved when he is in Madrid. In addition to the many great offers, it is a pity that he chose to stay at home. It is said that he wants to be with France, but it seems impossible for the time being.

Zidane has truly achieved great success. It's really hard to do what he did, I have great respect. Real Madrid's performance is pretty good right now and I think they are one of the strongest teams in the league. So I don't think there will be such a thing as a coach change.
There seems to be no reason for Ancelotti to leave the team


Did you know that while Zidane was still a player Zidane didn't only play for Real Madrid and also, there were rumors that Zidane might return for Juventus which I think is possible. Considering Juventus are currently in poor form, and Zidane as a former player it is possible that Zidane will return to Juventus as a coach. Even though it's just an issue but because there is information that Zidane will return to coach but it is still a secret, then all speculation will certainly arise.

In fact, there are also many legendary players who did not succeed as coaches and that has often happened, but the way Zidane became a coach and then chose not to train or take a break first. So I think it's a unique way that Zidane uses, because usually coaches who are unemployed they still don't get a new offer. But Zidane really can turn down all the offers, and will only choose the team he really wants.

If i'm not mistaken Napoli top scores currently is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with 7 goals in all competitions and he is more likely as a winger not striker even he is one of the best buy for Napoli this season because he can adapt quickly and playing well on every matches and Napoli has proven that they didn't rely on one or two players to scoring goals because i had seen almost all of Napoli players can scoring goals even their defender players such as Kim Min Jae already scoring 2 goals this season so this also makes Napoli as the most productive team in Serie A with 26 goals because their players quality is almost equal for each lines
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is Georgia player with position as winger and have scoring 5 goals for Napoli in this season of 11 games based on statistic at Serie A website I checked, seems he not really popular player and keep consistent scored until 5 goals. First season with Napoli and get regular position until played 11 games at Serie A and have played 4 games at Champion League with 2 goals scoring I think he most special player under Luciano Spalletti.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia come from Dinamo Batumi as Georgia team and unbelievable first season give positive impact with Napoli, I don't really know with him and most favorite player at Napoli is Victor Osimhen most talk with several club interested to sign in him.

But they or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen are young players who of course they still have a better future, and even though Napoli have not been beaten so far but Napoli do not have a player who is the top scorer in Serie A. I think this is interesting, because usually when If there is a team that is undefeated then there will be one player who is the most dominant to score goals to become the league's top scorer.
But for them it doesn't seem like something important and as such, then they are a team that doesn't just rely on one player as a finishing touch.

So Napoli really played as a team completely which is a great way of course. Because if they only rely on one player for finishing then they may often get deadlocked when that player is heavily guarded by the opposing defense, and will also get deadlocked when the player is injured or not played.


If we reflect on history last season's season we certainly understand that it was too soon for us to favor a team in Serie A as a candidate for the scudetto squad, when Milan, Napoli and inter were at the top at the beginning of the season many said that they could win the scudetto but in reality In fact when in the middle of the season they seemed to experience a decline in performance and eventually dropped out of the Scudetto path, I think the half time, is right time  to predict who deserves to winner scudetto.

Yup, I'm also not judging who the champion is for now. Because this is just the start of the season. We can see the formation of players after the January transfer. because often teams experience changes in performance after transfers because there are players who go and come, so this affects the team's performance. some for the better some of them getting worse.

It is very difficult for teams to perform well throughout the season, we saw this last year, especially in this league. Teams that do not make mistakes or lose points throughout the season experience a turning point and start to lose points. This year, the scores of the teams may be close to each other until the last weeks of the league.
We still have a long time ahead of us Smiley


If you think about also that in the past seasons when the top teams in Serie A were good at the start of the season, but their performance was not good in the Champions League. This case is very different from Napoli right now who are doing well in Serie A and also doing well in the Champions League. With a performance difference like this, I personally have no doubts about Napoli for this season, because at the same time the rival teams in the Serie A title race are also not in good form this season.

Therefore, I can say that this season has been a very different season and Napoli can take advantage of this situation very well. If the points are too wide then Napoli just need to hold on to their position which I think Napoli will do well this season.

I enjoyed the match between West Ham and Bournemouth. But Bournemouth played a very bad game in this match. Bournemouth did not score any goals in the whole match. But West Ham scored 2 goals in this match. And West Ham From the very beginning, they played a lot of beautiful games.

West Ham could indeed control the match and this victory was well deserved for West Ham, and with this victory also West Ham managed to return to the middle of the table and managed to overtake Bournemouth. For Bournemouth, this defeat is certainly a very bad result because it could be a successive defeat that will be experienced again by Bournemouth, because in the next match Bournemouth will play against Tottenham which is certainly difficult for Bournemouth to at least get 1 point.

Thus, Bournemouth's position is really threatened now to get closer to the relegation zone, as the three teams below are slowly improving like Aston Villa, Southampton and Leicester. So yes, I personally really believe the three teams will slowly return to the middle of the standings or maybe they will continue to compete in that position throughout this season.


Manchester United have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo had returned to full squad training on Tuesday in preparation for Thursday's Europa League clash against the Sheriff.

Previously, manager Erik ten Hag had asked Ronaldo to meet with him immediately for talks as the Portugal international striker had left the bench and Old Trafford before the end of the game when United beat Tottenham last week, resulting in him being left out of the squads
I hope ronaldo doesn't repeat that in the rest of the season, there's been a lot of drama going on with him starting from transfer issues and his behavior this season. He must be able to accept all of Erik directions in every game and the match against the Sheriff could be a come back for him to be able to contribute greatly to his team. There are a lot of rumors circulating on social media where Ronaldo will be rumored to leave in the January window but I don't think this will disturb his concentration on the pitch. He is a role model for young players in the Manchester United squad and he must be mature for all decisions made by Erik Ten Hag.

If it ends like this then it looks like Ronaldo regrets having chosen to return to Manchester United, whereas if we remember what happened before about the offer to return to Manchester United. In fact, Ronaldo was offered to join Manchester City when Ronaldo was still playing at Juventus, but Ronaldo still chose to return to Manchester United. If at that time Ronaldo chose to join Manchester City maybe Ronaldo would not have experienced such an incident because he is a legend, such an incident is a childish nature which is certainly not appropriate for a player as big as Ronaldo.

The performance of Sevilla are absolutely terrible this season in both the Uefa Champions League and the Spanish La Liga league. Even though Sevilla will have the advantage of playing this upcoming match against FC Copenhagen at their home stadium, but I think they might struggle to score goals against FC Copenhagen and it might ends up with a goalless draw at the final whistle.

It seems to me that Sevilla will have no problems with Copenhagen - the change of coach has helped them and in the last five games they have only one defeat (against Real Madrid) and in every game they score at least one goal. Copenhagen have scored zero goals in the Champions League so purely statistically we can assume that Sevilla will win at least 1-0.

Really not sure about Sevilla and although in the last five matches Sevilla looks better than before, but I doubt it for this match against Copenhagen. Something that makes me doubt is not about their performance, but rather a consideration of whether they still have the ambition to win. Because according to calculations, even though Sevilla won against Copenhagen in this match, Sevilla still won't have a chance to qualify for the round of 16, because in the last match Sevilla will play away against Manchester City.

Therefore, although Sevilla can win on paper against Copenhagen, but it's better for me to avoid it to bet on this match. Since any final result can happen in this match with a lot of consideration they will play with no target to be able to advance further, because the chance are already very low for them or may have been lost.

And Bochum can sometimes surprise us with their performance, I guess no team is really unbeatable at all, Union Berlin is one lucky team to get the privilege of that position on the standing but their time has come because Bayern Munich will now take it, but as we all know match up in the Bundesliga will surprise us like the Union Berlin VS Bochum match up, we can truly never know if the luck of Union Berlin will still continue or not,

Union Berlin will have an important match in the Europa League, where they must win the match at home to Sporting Braga later.  only one point adrift of Sporting Braga, meaning, Union Berlin have a chance to be in second place if they win this match.
in theory, this match will affect their performance later in the Bundesliga match. can have a bad influence or get a strong motivation to win the next matches.

but for sure, in the game next week. Union Berlin will host Gladbach, which incidentally they are not an easy opponent to beat. this result will be decisive for them to keep their distance with Bayern Munich, or the Bundesliga leaders will belong to Bayern Munich.  so let's see, what scenario will happen next week.

I think that it depends on whether or not all players stay healthy over the course of the whole season. If they advance to the next round in the Europa League, they will need everyone on board healthy or otherwise their Bundesliga performance might significantly suffer. Taking into account that their squad is by far not as much and high quality as Bayern's, Union Berlin would suffer from injuries much more and would get into trouble to compensate for that.

But yes, advancing in the Europa League can also set free a lot of positive energy. It gives you a boost in confidence and when you are successful there you can also beat anyone anytime in the Bundesliga.

I hope they'll make it as I started to like that club. Very down to earth and really good fighters on the pitch!
Well, maybe it's the match against Braga that might be a problem for Union Berlin in yesterday's match against Bochum, although I also believe that there will always be a moment where they will get a bad result. But to make things worse, Union Berlin lost by the team who are at the bottom of the table so any excuse that is made is like an excuse that is not right. Because after all, in the end only Bayern Munich is the only team that will be the top team in the standings at the end of the season, because it is difficult for other teams to be able to maintain their good position as is the case with Union Berlin at this moment.

But if I consider the next match, I think Freiburg have a good chance to take advantage of the situation to get closer to first place in the standings. Because Union Berlin, which will play against Monchengladbach, is basically not a weak team, it could be that Monchengladbach provides a strong match for Union Berlin so that the result is a draw or maybe Monchengladbach can win the match.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will play against Mainz, I think Mainz is not an easy opponent to beat, because sometimes Mainz can beat Bayen Munich as happened last season.
But indeed, the factor of playing at home for them will still give them an advantage for better results. But at least, Freiburg is the team that guarantees victory for the next match for the teams that are in the top four, because even though Freiburg will play away but the opponent Freiburg will face is Schalke who don't look good even Schalke is currently at the bottom of the table.
