Tottenham vs Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are in very good shape the last five games are unbeaten and Tottenham are making a comeback but the defeat to Brighton is quite detrimental to what is being built.
This is very likely to be an even match and even though Tottenham is the favorite home team, it is Bournemouth who made a surprise by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford and that is a big win for Bournemouth, who are only in the middle of the standings, but still have a surprising chance of beating the home team.
Both teams score goals quite often so betting on BTTS is good enough to make a profit.

Although Bournemouth are not a strong team, though they have won their last four matches. And now the team is safe from the relegation zone. They have beaten big teams like Newcastle and Manchester United. Bournemouth managed to draw the match with Aston Villa. So this team cannot be underestimated today.

Tottenham will have to play well if they want to win the match. If they don't perform well, I don't see their chances of winning. Tottenham lost 3-2 in their last home match against Bournemouth. However, Tottenham have won three of the last five matches. Bournemouth's forwards are now quite strong. So if Tottenham want to get 3 points in today's match, Tottenham's defense has to be strong today.

Nottingham Forest  vs  Manchester United

Manchester United team is not able to dominate against a weak team like Nottingham Forest. No wonder Manchester United lost in this match. I would even say United are more likely to lose.

In 70 minutes Manchester United players made only 4 shots. I don't understand why they play so defensively. Since the opponent is weak, Manchester United should play attacking strategy. In the 64th minute of the match, Morgan's goal gave Nottingham Forest a 1-0 lead. Now probably Nottingham Forest players will play defensively. It will be more difficult for Manchester United to score if Nottingham play a purely defensive strategy.
Manchester United probably won't win. At the moment Manchester United team is 2-1 behind. Although Rashford scored a goal in the 79th minute, Manchester United conceded another goal in just 4 minutes. Morgan scored his second goal for Nottingham Forest. Only 3 minutes left in the match. I don't see any chance of Manchester United winning at this moment. I am very disappointed with the gameplay of United's players. I also agree with you that if Manchester United had not played defensively today they could have won the match. I doubt if Manchester United will be in the top 10 of the table this season.

India are nearing the end of their target with India needing 36 runs from just 30 balls.  So winning the match is still very challenging for them, now India will not miss single runs in every ball because they need more runs than the number of balls they have left to play.  So this time is very important for them to win the match. However, the way India women's team is playing, they are expected to win the match
It's Australia winning the second ODI and the series. When last time I posted here India women were favourite to win the contest but they were 3 runs short of the target. 15 runs were required in last over and Indian were only able to make 12 runs. Sutherland got the big wicket of Richa Ghosh and after that game went in control of Australians and they made it hard for Indian women to win that game. There is one more game to be played after that and India will play that to retain pride.
After Australia women's team set a target of 259 runs, I thought India would have no problem winning today's match. A target of 259 runs cannot be called a big target. Moreover, the performance of the Indian batsmen was quite good in the previous match as well. But their performance in today's match was very poor. Apart from Richa Gosh and Jemimah Rodrigues, none of the players in the squad can bat well. If the lower order players in particular could have batted with some responsibility then India would have been able to win this match. India women's team was defeated by only 3 runs.
India women's team had a big chance to win today's match. India women team managed to collect 218 runs after losing 5 wickets. The match was under the control of the Indian batsmen. I thought India might be going for an easy win. But after Richa Ghosh's exit, the scenario changed very quickly. India's batting became very slow. At the same time the Australian bowlers bowled very controlled in the death overs. India mustered only 3 runs in the 48th and 49th overs. And it was because of such poor batting in these two overs that India Women's team had to be defeated. India could have won if Deepti Sharma batted at a smart strike rate. Deepti could collect 24 runs but her strike rate was only 66.
India women team lost the match by just 3 runs their preparation was very good and their quality of play was good enough but unfortunately they went to the last stage but their wicket was saved and the over ended due to which they could not collect the remaining 3 runs and the match was over. and India women  lost the match by 3 run only. I was in full support of India and I was pretty sure that India would win the match but unfortunately they lost.

As the target was not big, India Women's team was expected to win. But the Bharat Mahila team disappointed us. They cannot bat well. Smriti, Richa and Jemimah batted very responsibly. Despite a good performance from the top order, the Indian team failed to win. But I expected better batting from Harmanpreet Kaur in today's match. Harmanpreet's batting has been weak in the last few matches. And as usual, Harmanpreet Kaur could not bat well in today's match. If he could have played an innings of 20-30 runs, maybe India would have been able to win today's match.

Interesting that you are so convinced of Chelsea winning against Luton Town. In the last 3 games Luton Town lost 1-2 vs. Manchester City, then they defeated Newcastle 1-0 and won away from home against Sheffield United. Since Chelsea isn't the big club it was in the past, I think this game is probably not as one sided as you may expect it to be. Chelsea has lost more games so far than they have won. They got defeated 8 times already.
I know that maybe Chelsea won't win easily against Luton even though the club is weak at the bottom of the points table but that doesn't mean it can be underestimated because Luton defense is actually very strong, it's just that the club doesn't have high consistency and I think the club is from the bottom of the points table. like this can give us all a surprise and for me there are only 2 choices in this match, either Chelsea win or draw.
What I know that Luton can always be very strong when playing at home, as you said, Luton is always more aggressive when playing at home, while chelsea always has a decline in performance when playing away because the club still in an unstable condition.

If Luton Town played defensively, maybe it would not have been so easy for Chelsea to score. Luton Town were very confident in their home match. And the Luton Town team played completely attacking strategy in this match. They made a lot of attacks in this match. I would say they attack more than Chelsea. This is why Luton's defense was a little weak. Chelsea players have used this opportunity very well. They managed some brilliant counter-attacks and Chelsea went 3-0 up in the 80th minute. However, Chelsea conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes and the match ended 3-2. I would say Chelsea coach should strengthen their defense. Otherwise, Chelsea will not be able to win against the big teams.

A player might have a personal love for a club and money will no longer matter in his decision to extend his contract. I believe that Victor Osimhen has a love for the club, so he extended his contract because Napoli gave him the platform to gain fame. Today he is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe and many elite clubs now want him. I am humbled by his selflessness towards his club Napoli. I am saying this because he would have moved out of Napoli in the next transfer market making them not gain much financial return from his transfer since his contract would have expired in 2025. But with this extension to 2026 and a release clause between €120m and €130m, the Italian club will make some money if he finally decides to leave the club.

The contract also favoured the Nigerian international because his salary and bonuses were increased more than double to about £8.7m a season making him the highest-paid player in Seria A, ahead of Romelu Lukaku.       

In the era where money is now priorities, I'm not sure if players still look at the love of club over money. Sometimes I look back at the prime of Ronaldinho, Drogba, Zidane and Kaka, if they are now the type of players we have now, only God knows the kind of money and offers that will be coming to their table. No wonder we don't see this type of wonderful players again, transfers and agents is now more of political and lobbying and that's why we have a player like Maguire still rated on Manchester United.

Osimhen favorite club is Chelsea, if he wanted to live Napoli before this January, we would have seen the signs because last the beginning of this season was a bit shaky and racism was high but I think even despite that the president wasn't showing interest in the public on how they want him, under the ground they want to see Napoli stay else when they had the opportunity from Saudi Arabian teams, it would be a perfect time for him to leave but they want him and that is among the reason he still stays in the club.

I don't think in this era love towards a club exists for many players. But I think Osimhen is one of them. He signed a contract and got a decent enough Release clause as @Die_empty has said it. But I don't think he will be able to achieve much staying at Napoli. Napoli was once one of the best clubs in Europe and the world but now they have lost their touch. They indeed did win Serie A last season and were the runners up of the UEFA Champions League. But the current season's performance makes me think it is going to take a while for them to repeat these again. So for Osimhen, the best decision would be to leave Napoli and join a bigger club and achieve more.

His favorite club is not Chelsea, rather he has stated in Obi MIkel’s podcast that he has many friends at Chelsea and Manchester United. So he may be interested in joining them. Real Madrid probably are interested in him as well. And all the tables turn if Real Madrid joins the race. So it will be interesting to see the clubs fighting each other for him.

The last match of Girona against Real Betis was actually what surprised me and the reason Real Madrid is at the top of the table again. Girona was supposed to win the match and not settle for a 1:1 draw. Now that Real Madrid is at the top, it will be difficult for them to leave that position unless they become distracted by their champions league matches.
Real Betis broke Girona's unbeaten record from their last five matches, Real Betis played very aggressively plus they played at home of course getting full support from supporters, most likely this is the end of Girona's journey in dominating LaLiga this season, it could be in the next meeting against  Atletico Madrid, Girona suffered defeat for the first time, so far they have not been defeated in their last five matches, hopefully Atletico Madrid can beat them..
I know that Real Betis did not win, they drew 1-1. Girona is playing very well this year. They had difficulty in the Real Betis match. They also stayed in a draw. The championship in La Liga is still ongoing. They are competing with Real Madrid. It's a good race this year.

Real Betis played very well in their home match against Girona. As Girona were in great form, I thought this match would also see the dominance of Girona players. But I was wrong. Although Real Betis could not win the match, they managed to dominate. And we have seen some poor performances from Girona players after a long time. Real Betis players made 21 shots in this match, while Girona players made only 12 shots. In this match, Real Betis played completely attacking and did not allow Girona's players to create many attacking opportunities. Real Betis' overall gameplay was very organized.

Like India's first innings, the second innings too suffered a serious batting disaster at first. India batted in front of the lead of 164 runs given by South Africa and two wickets fell for 13 runs at the beginning. Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal failed in the second innings as well as in the first innings. If India collects even 300 runs in this innings then South Africa will definitely win this match. The first innings ended with just 245 runs as India's top-order batsmen failed and similarly the failure in the second innings made India's innings 250 in doubt.
India second innings 106/6
Nandre Burger collect 3 wickets. Only time will tell whether India might lose today's Test to South Africa by an innings. India need to collect 59 more runs to take the run lead.
India's only Virat Kohli has scored a half-century and nobody has been able to score as many runs. However, India lost one more wicket and India are now 7 wickets down for 106 runs.

After the South African team scored a massive 408 runs, I was sure that India would lose this match. Because India collected only 245 runs in the first innings. South Africa managed to take a big lead of 163 runs. But it was beyond my imagination that India would concede such a humiliating defeat. The Indian team could not even collect 163 runs in their second innings. India mustered only 131 runs in the second innings. Virat Kohli scored 76 and Shubman Gill scored 26 runs. Besides, none of the batsmen in the squad can collect 2-digit runs. 4 batsmen failed to add any runs to the scoreboard. Burger 4, Jansen 3 and Rabada take 2 wickets.

India women Vs Australia women
The match is started now and India is playing their turn. India already lost one wicket of Shafali Verma. And now Richa Ghosh and Yastika Bhatia are playing at this time. If we took a look on Test match so we will see that Indian team has won that match. But there is the difference between Test match and ODI match so for now we this is really hard to predict that which team will win this match. At this time India has made 23 runs in 5 overs with the lost of one wicket.
India at 148/5. Jemimah Rodrigues is still there with 33, but on the other end they have the inexperienced Amanjot Kaur. Australian bowlers have done a good job so far and almost everyone have been on the wicket column. None of the Indian batters could get to a half-century, although Yastika Bhatia made 49. It is going to be a tough job for the Indian bowlers, unless the lower order batters can take them to at least 250. The match is taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and we can't expect any additional support for the bowlers.

Although the India women's top order did not play well, the responsible batting of openers Yastika Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues and Pooja managed to set a big target of 283 runs. Jemimah Rodrigues scored 82 off 77 balls and Pooja was unbeaten on 62 off 46 balls. At the beginning of the innings, the Australian bowlers were able to bowl well, but the team was not able to maintain continuity.

Australia women's team stumbled early in their innings. Australia Women lost the vital wicket of Alyssa Healy before scoring any runs. A big target of 283 runs will be very difficult for Australia women team to win.

Despite opener Alyssa Healy not scoring any runs, Australia women's team is now in a good position. At the end of 11 overs, Australia women's team collected 60 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Litchfield remained unbeaten on 23 off 32 balls and Ellyse Perry on 35 off 31 balls. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. Indian bowlers need to break this pair quickly. If not, 283 runs will become easier for Australia women team. Australia women's batting order is strong. It is not difficult for them to collect 283 runs. I thought I would see better bowling from Pooja Vastrakar. But he gave away 24 runs in 3 overs.

In this test match, Shaheen Shah Afridi liked to hit bouncers at other players and this bouncer damaged Australian batsmen but not too much and the harmful and speeds bouncers was can't play by the Australian batsmen and they left the ball and care for himself but Travis Head didn't care of himself and he tried to hit a shot in the bouncer of Shaheen Shah Afridi and he tried this but this was a harmful bouncer, thank god he is safe the bat edge happened and the ball was gone on the slip so he was safe but he cannot safe his wicket.

Anyway, Travis Head was out 70.2 overs and it was the fourth wicket of Australian and when he was out his team's runs were 205 and his runs were 17 runs that he made in 32 balls.
Shaheen Shah Afridi played very well and I will hope that in the second innings, he played much better than this, he took two main wickets from Australian batsmen which was Travis Head and Carey.

Travis Head's wicket is important because if you remember so Travis Head hit a century against India in WTC 2023 or maybe in 2022, I forget the  exact year.

If the batsmen are not batting well then it is not possible to win or draw depending on the performance of the bowlers alone. The pitch was not bowling friendly. Still, the Pakistani bowlers bowled well enough. They were able to stop the Australian team within 318 runs. Afridi, Hamza and Hasan Ali took two wickets each and Aamer Jamal took three wickets.

Pakistani batsmen could not bat well. They lost 6 wickets and collected 194 runs in 55 overs on the second day. Pakistan team is still behind by 124 runs. Mohammad Rizwan is still unbeaten with 29 runs. If Rizwan's wicket can be taken quickly by the Australian bowlers next day, it won't take long for Pakistan's first innings to end.

I was really surprised by United's comeback. Both teams use 1 striker and 3 attacking midfielders. This is a match that is actually a draw. but Aston Villa's 2 goals in the first half cast doubt on United's ability to stage a comeback.
Ten Hag seems to need more effort to revive his squad. The season is still quite long, and there is a chance to catch up. Hopefully, fans will patiently wait for United's revival.
I was also surprised because Aston Villa's game that day was quite good, they were able to score the second goal in the 21st and 26th minutes. I was also quite disappointed with Aston Villa's defenders who played too much at the back. and the score couldn't help but change and the enthusiasm of supporters towards Manchester United became even greater. This Sunday's victory and revival is a breath of fresh air for Mu and Ten Hag. The reason is, in the last few weeks his playing performance has not been good.

Aston Villa lost the truck. We will now see the fall of this group. Aston Villa team was in excellent form. A win against Sheffield United would have seen them move to the top of the points table. It was not at all expected that the players would lose form at this moment. After dropping points against Sheffield United, Villa were also defeated against Manchester United.

Despite leading 2-0 in the first half, Aston Villa lost 3-2. I would say they were unlucky, as well as having some tactical mistakes. Manchester United team was not very strong. Manchester United would not have won this match if Aston Villa played a completely defensive strategy in the second half.

So again Cristiano Ronaldo scoring by two penalties and becoming the top goal scorer of the year, from one side amazing to se him still in the high performance, but in the other hand i can see a ton of memes of him and the penalty love with him.

About the yesterday game was a really good one for Al Nassr, it was not a easy one and they do all to make it look easy.
The match was essentially Benzema vs Ronaldo. Ronaldo scored two goals but from the penalty spot. On the other hand, Benzema's performance was not good in this match. Ronaldo's presence was quite visible in this match. Despite scoring from the penalty spot, Ronaldo's overall performance was quite good. On the other hand, we did not see the expected performance from Benzema. I expected the match to be very competitive. Although the first half was competitive, we saw the dominance of Al Nassr players in the second half.
Ronaldo contributed 2 goals from a total of 5 goals created by Al Nassr. But I think Al Ittihad's defeat this time is inseparable from their defeat in the number of players so that Al Nassr can make the match easier after Al Ittihad played with 10 players. In the first half the match was very tight, as well as when entering the second half, the match was still quite tight. But after the Al Ittihad player received a red card, that's where the difference began to be felt and that clearly made it easier for Al Nassr to control the situation.
With this result Al Nassr narrowed the gap to 7 points from Al Hilal who are at the top of the table. Yes, at least they can maximize the advantage of their number of matches.

I agree with you. The first half was very competitive. In the first half we enjoyed the gameplay of both teams. Although the first half ended 2-1, the performances of both teams were good. Hamdallah's goal just 6 minutes into the second half, Ittihad Jeddah managed to tie the match 2-2. But the scenario started to change very quickly after Fabinho received a red card in the 66th minute. And we only see the dominance of Al Nassr players. Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot in the 68th minute to give Al Nassr the lead. And even then two goals from Sadio Mane we saw Al Nassr Riyadh win 5-2 in the end.

In the match of Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nassr team, I see more possibility of Al-Nassr team to win. Because Al-Nassr team played very well in the previous match. But I am waiting to see how well Al-Nassr team can do in this match tomorrow.  Al-Nassr team is still ahead in the points table of the two teams. Al-Nassr team is in the 2nd position of the points table. Al-Ittihad is in the 6th position of the points table. Al-Ittihad team did not play well in the previous matches but in this match two  If the performance of the team's players is equal, the chances of the match being drawn will be high.
The match has started now and is already in the 30th minute and the current score is still tied at 1-1, in fact Al Ittihad can still play well in this match by managing to score a quick goal in the 14th minute. Even if we consider that Al Ittihad position has decreased in Saudi Pro League standings but ya,atleast Al Ittihad still has the ability to play well and has a chance to win too.

But yes, because at this moment at least Al Nassr is also in contention for the title at the top of the standings, it is still quite possible for Al Nassr to beat Al Ittihad in this match . But even so,ofcourse it will still not be easy for Al Nassr to win away against Al Ittihad in this match, but at least Al Nassr will have a good effort so as not to lose by Al Itthiad home team in this match.

At the end of the first half, Al Nassr Riy.adh team is leading 2-1. I expected to see a competitive match. And the first half was very exciting. But the home team Ittihad Jeddah is not able to dominate. Hamdallah's goal gave Ittihad the lead in just 15 minutes of the first half. But Ronaldo equalized the match by scoring from the penalty spot in just 4 minutes. And in the 38th minute, Anderson Talisca's goal gave Al Nassr the lead.

I expected to see a better performance from Benzema. But Benzema's performance in the first half was not good. This match is essentially Benzema vs Ronaldo. If Benzema can perform well in the second half then the match will become more exciting

Burnley are defending with everything they hold dearly because they're playing against a top side and ought to become very careful.
Liverpool are not Chelsea that flops against teams that they are expected to win. They are expected to win this game, and they have started very well with Nunez finding the goal before the 10th minutes. A Liverpool victory will mean that they go top of the premier league table pending Arsenal's game against West Ham. Liverpool's momentum in this game will not be easy for Burnley to match, best result that Burnley can snatch from this game will be a draw, because Liverpool are a strong team this season, that has a fighting spirit to win all games even if it is in the final minutes.

Burnley are a weak team. They are now in the relegation zone. The chances of Liverpool losing points against such a team is very low. Moreover, Liverpool are in very good form this season. Liverpool team is fighting for the title. And they will definitely need to continue their winning streak to move to the top of the points table. Liverpool need 3 points against Burnley.

Liverpool lead 1-0 at the end of the first half. Liverpool took the lead with Nunez's goal just 6 minutes into the match. Naturally, Burnley are playing completely defensively. So despite plenty of attacking in the first half, Liverpool couldn't score more than one goal. Liverpool players made a total of 14 shots in the first half. 8 of these were on target. Burnley's goalkeeper is playing very well today. If not, the Burnley team will have to concede several goals in the first half.

The large number of injured Madrid players has made Ancelotti want to bring in several defenders to fill the empty positions, currently several names of players have been offered by Ancelotti to Madrid but unfortunately the Madrid management does not want to recruit players in the transfer market this season, Ancelotti wants Varane to return to Madrid After seeing Varane contract which will soon expire with Manchester United, apart from Varane, Madrid is also reluctant to bring back Rafa Marin from Alaves, who is also prioritized by Ancelotti looking at the current attitude of Madrid management, it seems that Ancelotti must be able to optimize the current players such as Nacho and Rudiger.
Real Madrid gave lost quite excellent players but they're keen on bringing in excellent players that have become key projects for their new perspective clubs. Like Raphael Varane Casemiro are main players for Manchester United. Real Madrid is a top club, they have fought so good in accumulating profits and winning the major trophies this season and in the past decades. Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti have become very strict in dealing with his current squad. Though he has lost most of this key players to injuries but that haven't stop his team and coach from ascending to impressive form this season.
I think Real Madrid would be better off bringing in a player younger than Varane for their future as well, but if it's temporary and to fill a void it's not a problem.
They are building regeneration and it is going well so far, they are smart when regenerating players, because they don't wait for their senior players to run out and prefer to do it gradually and slowly give minutes to young players.
Ancelotti won't be with Real Madrid for long, and so Real Madrid will have to find a coach who shares the same vision. Because it is very unfortunate if they bring in a coach with a different vision because that coach could hamper what Real Madrid is building today.
If Carlo Ancelotti leaves the team, it would be very sad for Real Madrid because Ancelotti is the person who knows the dynamics of Real Madrid best. This situation of his will make him special for Real Madrid. I hope he has a great season at Real Madrid. Even though they are missing a striker, they are leading the league. They can take the team to a very good level with the transfer of a striker during the break.

I agree with you. If Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid, the Madrid team will face a big problem at the moment. Because their squad is not fully strong yet. Ancelotti's excellent match strategy has helped Real Madrid continue their winning streak in the Champions League and La Liga. Madrid still does not have a perfect striker in the squad. Vini and Rodrygo's performance is very erratic. However, Ancelotti's tactics in the match did not seem to affect the Madrid team's weak attack. I think Ancelotti will leave Madrid once he has fully stabilized the Madrid squad. However, there are rumors that Ancelotti will coach the Brazil team.

Afghanistan 2023 ODI World Cup has been the biggest surprise as they have defeated two tough opponents like England and Pakistan. Moreover, Afghanistan's top order batsmen performed well as usual and lower order batsmen especially Rashid khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman could bowl well as well as bat fairly well. That's why Afghanistan's score is much higher than other teams. Moreover, most of the players of Afghanistan participate in Big Bash, IPL, PSL, Carribbean League, County League at various times. That's why they have some kind of experience working inside their batting and bowling which makes Afghanistan perform like an experienced team.
Afghanistan International team performance is excellent towards World cup 2023. When Rashid Khan became the part of Afghanistan team , Afghanistan International cricket team became a strong team. Rashid is best bowler whole the World. In the history, Afghanistan did not gave tough time to Pakistani team but now at that time Afghanistan International cricket team is much stronger than Pakistani cricket team. Pakistani team should work on their weaknesses.

The Afghanistan squad is now quite strong. The squad has a lot of talented players. And these players perform regularly in various franchise leagues. They have become more experienced as they perform in franchise leagues. This is why Afghanistan was able to beat big teams like England and Pakistan on big stages like World Cup. Afghanistan also performed well against Australia. Unfortunately they were defeated in this match. Afghanistan players have proved that they are capable of challenging any big team now. Hopefully we will see better gameplay from Afghanistan in the future.

PSG are in very good form that's for sure. However, it is not certain whether they will win. However, I consider PSG as the favorite in this match and decided to bet on PSG.
PSG is the most favorite club for the champion this season because the kind of performance they have I doubt if any club can easily win them and secondly there points is quite higher than every other clubs except for Nice that are competing PSG on this season but however with the points PSG has losing one match can never bring them down from the table on less they lose two straight matches provided that Nice is able to win there straight two matches, so we can see that PSG has an upper chance to win the league this season because they have all it takes to obtain the champion and perhaps there upcoming match against Toulouse is actually a win match for PSG because they are more in a good performance than Toulouse.

Even if PSG dropped points in a few matches, the team will not have much trouble regaining the top spot in the points table. Although Nice is currently second in the table, this team is not strong enough. Nice players scored only 19 goals in 17 matches. The performance of attacking players needs further improvement. If not, the Nice team will slowly move down the points table. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play 17 more matches.

PSG are in very good form. We can see better performances from Mbappe as well. Despite losing points in a few matches at the beginning of the season, their performance is very good now. Even though the match against Lille was a draw, we saw a good performance from the PSG players. As PSG players are confident now, it will not be too difficult for PSG to get 3 points against Lens.

Pakistan bowlers were in great momentum, and if there was no rain interruption, then they would have probably taken a few more wickets. And also, two out of form batsmen are at the crease now - Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith. The break will give them time to get adjusted and to prepare their strategy against the Pakistani pacers. And rain came at a time when two of the young pacers were bowling beautifully - Mir Hamza and Aamer Jamal. So far these guys are bowling so well, that the absence of Khurram Shahzad is not being felt. 
Australians are today slow in scoring runs. In 58 overs they have scored 158 runs with scoring rate of 2.8 runs per over. After losing 2 quick wickets, there is 50 runs partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Smith which just got broken. Pakistani bowlers are getting wickets but they should keep an eye on runs. With this rate, Australians may be able to score 300+ runs which wont be easy to chase. Shaheen Shah is wicket less so far and this is not a good sign for Pakistan.
Today was the first day  (concluded) of the Pakistan and Australia test match, and in this test, what pathetic bowling by all the pacers of the Pakistan team that played this match.

Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't take any wickets but in the early, Shaheen almost out David Warner but Abdullah Shafique dropped easy catch of David Warner and same this type of catch dropped by Babar Azam in the 2017 Champions Trophy of Virat Kohli, where Amir is bowling and Virat Kohli was on strike he tip the ball and the was gone on slip but Babar Azam dropped the catch.

The condition of Pakistan team is very bad now. Their performance in both batting and bowling is poor. They also missed a lot of fielding. I would say Pakistani players need to work harder.

Australian team batsmen are batting very carefully. They are playing well. At the end of the day Australia collected 187 runs in 66 overs losing three wickets. Labuchagne remains unbeaten with 44 off 120 balls. Travis Head is also unbeaten with 9 runs. Agha Salman managed to pick up two wickets. Shaheen Shah Afridi's bowling was not bad but he could not take a single wicket. As in the first match, the Australian team is the favorite in this match.

After celebrating christmas eve, Paris Saint-Germain will face Lens. I do not even consider that game to be a tough one for Les Parisiens rather its definitely going to be one of the very easy match for PSG to win. Before we start contemplating on the match, where's the standing of Lens? They're seventh position and you expect them to become an headache for PSG? I don't think so, Luis Enrique will once again extend his evidence as an experience coach for PSG this season. He doesn't prohibits any rules of winning, he's well disciplinary principled strict coach that's keen on leading his squad to become the reigning champs of the Ligue One.
With the help of Luis Enrique, PSG are now in a very good position in Ligue 1. The team's performance is now strong. Even so, I can't say for sure that PSG will win the next match against Lens. Because Lens is not a weak team. The performance of this team is also quite good now. PSG drew 1-1 in the match against Lille. And this is why I would say that the match against Lens is also likely to be a draw. Lens will try their best in this home match to draw the match. Lens's defense is also strong. So it is not surprising if the match is a 1-1 draw.
If you believe PSG has a good performance in this moment, then I think you can be more confident to predict PSG to win. Because anyway, if PSG is really in a very good trend at this moment, then you should also have no doubts about PSG for the away match against Lens later. But indeed, although PSG is still quite favored to win in this match, but of course it will still not be an easy match for PSG.

Because after all, based on the records so far this season that Lens is also not bad at all for home matches. Therefore, because in this match against PSG the fact that Lens will play at home, it is like Lens will have a good performance too . If that happens then yes, at least it is still not easy for PSG to beat Lens in this match but even so, that PSG still has a chance to win and I will go for PSG.

PSG are in very good form that's for sure. However, it is not certain whether they will win. However, I consider PSG as the favorite in this match and decided to bet on PSG.

Lens is strong at home. I don't remember the last time Lens lost at home. The team has been able to maintain the winning streak in the last four home matches. This is why it is not going to be easy for PSG to win this match. It will be difficult for PSG to win, but Luis Enrique will definitely want to win this match. If Mbappe can play well in this match then I believe PSG will win.
