The three star players and the holder of the title of most expensive player disappeared in the first leg of the Champions League. We know that Bellingham, Haaland and Mbappe did not shine at all in big matches and the three of them even became a burden on their respective clubs. Luckily there are other players who can still be relied on to provide positive results for the team and I hope to start reducing excessive expectations for these three players.
The match is not just about the star players who are always an important part of a team but rather the entire squad which is the benchmark for it all. However, even though the three of them did not appear to have contributed at all to the match, of course everyone will still be waiting for their action in the second leg. Will there be any surprises in terms of goals, assists or hat tricks, let's look at all three later.

Luis Alberto just said that he will leave Lazio at the end of the season, he will not ask the remaining money and Lazio will save over 20m€.
He must already have a new deal or something ognoing, who is the crazy person that give up such much money?
In the last summer he was going to Arabia but he denied them in the end.
I still remember how Luis Alberto declared to stay at Lazio and finally accepted a long-term contract agreement at his aging age. I thought he would retire at Lazio but it seems I was wrong and it seems he is interested in joining another to add a new challenge. I think there's no harm as long as it's good for his future, moreover only he knows what's good for now. Lazio is certainly very happy with Luis Alberto's attitude of not worrying about the remaining money and on the other hand, maybe he knows that this team is also not financially good and would prefer to give up the money they have. Since leaving Liverpool in 2016 and deciding to join Lazio, he has been part of the Lazio squad for 8 years. It could be said that he has become a Lazio legend and he has to leave a good impression on his team before he actually leaves. |

Milan may be embarrassed in front of their fans after their narrow defeat to Roma in the first leg but everything is not over yet and Milan's opportunity to win in the second leg is still very open. That's not a big aggregate difference and I'm sure they can still turn things around at home to Roma later. They just need to implement a different strategy and learn from the previous defeat against Roma.
On the other hand, Roma, who have been on the rise lately, are worth watching out for and since being handled by De Rossi, their performance has always been impressive. But they also have to start being alert because Milan will play hard at home and Roma should start looking for ways to break into Milan's goal even more. Defense will be one of the determinants of victory for both teams and one mistake will be very fatal for their chances of qualifying for the semifinals.

The current Arsenal is not the Arsenal that used to be and everything has changed since being handled by Mikel Arteta. The result was also quite surprising where they managed to hold off Bayern Munich's series at home. Even though Arsenal might lose, Bayern Munich this season is not as fierce as the previous season, which was always able to get through each round easily.
We all know that failure in the domestic league has put Bayern Munich in doubt about their chances of winning the Champions League and it has proven that they were unable to beat Arsenal in the first leg. However, there is still a second leg next week and this time Thomas Tuchel's squad will be the hosts. Arsenal will definitely have to fight tooth and nail at home to Bayern Munich and they have to strengthen their mentality so that their game remains as good as usual. It's still difficult to predict who will advance to the semifinals, but if I look at it for now, Arsenal's chances are slightly bigger.

Augsburg vs Union Berlin
This season is one of Augsburg best season during their participant at Bundesliga because finally after several season always be hard struggling to fight to avoiding relegation but this season a bit different for Augsburg because their position is compeletely safe and Augsburg also potentially can finish at top 10 and if we talking about Augsburg statistics as mediocre team i think Augsburg can able to utilized their home matches with very well because during this season at home Augsburg have already to gets 6 wins and only lost 3 times i think these records too makes them can able to occupy 7th place
But Augsburg has unfavourable conditions because they faced injured storm and recently i have checked the injured lists from Augsburg squad and i can see at least Augsburg will lost 7 players who got injured and i think this is not good because it will have any affect to their performance today and actually i want to pick Augsburg win from this match but considering their recent condition which obviously not really good makes me doubt they can able to overcomes Union Berlin even i was thinking this match potentially will ended draw and the odds for this option is very high @3.45 or for safe bets both teams to scores also good
This is quite a tiring match for Union Berlin. Apart from playing away from home, they also have to be able to steal full points at home to Augsburg. The situation will not be easy considering that Augsburg has performed very well this season and the image of them as a bottom team has now disappeared. Augsburg is in optimal performance even though in the previous two matches they failed to win, but in this match they are worth betting on to gain 3 additional points. I think the injury problem that befell Augsburg will not really confuse them, especially since their opponent is only Union Berlin, whose performance has dropped drastically this season. The draw option is quite reasonable but I prefer to bet on the result of over 2.5 goals considering that both teams are hunting for points to maintain their respective chances on the standings. |

Manchester United is interested in the Portuguese player from Milan -> Rafael Leao.
The player's price is over 120 million euros according to the Italians, I doubt his valuation is that high.
Probably with 100 they take it home.
Other rumors have intensified in recent months over the Lea, with PSG interested in the player.
It seems that he and Osimhen are the next big names ready to leave Serie A this summer.
It seems that Manchester United is still not satisfied with the performance of its players, even though Garnacho or Rashford already take turns occupying this position. But indeed, if in a season or more there is no change then the club must be interested in other existing options and as long as it is good for the club then they must start considering it. Rafael Leao really has the criteria for a winger at Manchester United, apart from being fast and a good dribbler, he also has great finishing in front of the opponent's goal. However, the costs are very expensive and Manchester United seems to still want to negotiate regarding the price so that it can be reduced. But if Manchester United is very enthusiastic, like it or not, they have to dig deep into their pockets. On the other hand, if Rafael Leao goes to PSG, it won't be a big problem for the French team regarding the costs involved. For Osimhen, it seems that he is already in talks with other clubs and it would not be surprising if at the end of the season he will leave Napoli. He made quite a contribution to Napoli last season and it is time for him to spread his wings again. |

Practically Liverpool will not qualify if in the second leg they do not score 3 more goals because Atalanta beat them with a difference of 3 goals at Anfield. Something terrible happened last night and no one expected Liverpool to lose at home so easily. I thought that even if they lost it wouldn't be more than 1 goal, but what happened was that Liverpool was destroyed and couldn't get the goal back.
It seems that we are a little pessimistic about Liverpool being in the final against Leverkusen and first they have to avenge their defeat in the first leg with another landslide victory in the second leg. We all know it will be very difficult for Liverpool and if they cannot show a better game then they must be ready to leave the Europa League.

Arsenal are fierce in performance, bringing on their best this season. We underestimate Arsenal because they have failed in the past and there current performance is nothing new but comparable as their previous stats. Mikel Arteta is incharge but it will take lengthy time before we'll be watching Arsenal winning and lifting major titles and bringing home to Emirate stadium. The Gunners will continue to strive because there's definitely no room for reluctant performance.
It's natural that there are some people who still doubt that Arsenal's performance last season will be carried over to this season, but it seems that this speculation can be immediately dismissed with good performances in every match. Currently, Arsenal is also at the top of the standings, even though their number of points is still the same as Liverpool and the only difference is in goals in that case. This week Arsenal will play Aston Villa and in my opinion it is possible that Arsenal will lose points in this match. I mean, it's impossible for Arsenal to lose, but if the result is a draw, Liverpool and Manchester City will benefit greatly, especially since Liverpool will only face Crystal Palace and Manchester City will face a weak team in the relegation zone, namely Luton. It is certain that Arsenal's competitors will get 3 points easily and Arsenal will face quite a tough challenge. However, I am quite optimistic that the Gunners can still win considering their home winning record is also quite good when facing Aston Villa at home. |

Friday 12th AprilLazio 19:45 Salernitana Saturday 13th AprilLecce 14:00 Empoli Torino 17:00 Juventus Bologna 19:45 Monza Sunday 14th AprilNapoli 11:30 Frosinone Sassuolo 14:00 AC Milan Udinese 17:00 Roma Inter Milan 19:45 Cagliari Monday 15th AprilFiorentina 17:30 Genoa Atalanta 19:45 Verona Source: https://www.skysports.com/serie-a-fixturesHard to choose the best game of the week, can be the derby of Torino Juvenuts or Sassuolo Milan. Sassuolo is in a desperate season, they can be relegated after 10 consecutive years in serie A I think so considering that there are no interesting matches apart from the two matches you mentioned and maybe we will still see Juventus having difficulty in the derby match against Torino later. Juventus still cannot be said to be on fire after last week's win over Fiorentina and conversely, a draw against Torino is possible. Apart from this being a derby match, Torino will not easily give in, of course they also adhere to the principle of a prestigious match and if Juventus again fail to get 3 points then they will again be in a dangerous situation. For Sassuolo, they will again lose points considering that Milan is one of the teams that has been quite consistent this season and they managed to occupy second place in the standings by shifting competitors such as Juventus and others. What Milan is currently focused on is of course just wanting to widen the distance from Juventus because it is impossible for them to catch up with their brother who is currently at the top with so many points. |

There is no doubt about Atletico's mentality in the Champions League and they proved it when they beat Dortmund at home with a score of 2-1. I think it's natural that Atletico can win and they just need to finish everything in the second leg next week. Diego Simione can always formulate the right strategy for his players so that they don't lose anything in the first leg.
However, the second leg may not be as easy as Atletico imagines considering that Dortmund and its fans will try to roar to reduce the mentality of the Atletico players and if in this match the Atletico players' concentration is broken, it will be an opportunity for Dortmund to equalize the aggregate or even reverse the lead. Apart from that, it is possible that the match will continue into extra time or a penalty shootout could occur and I hope that Atletico will not underestimate Dortmund this time and if Atletico wants to win then they have to take a big lead so that Dortmund cannot catch the difference.

 Metz against Lens will be the opening match of Ligue One this week and as we know the difference in the quality of the players is quite large. This time Lens must not fail again and they must steal 3 points from Metz as much as possible. The reason is that they need full points to be able to secure the opportunity before their eyes to be able to participate in the European competition zone. On the other hand, Metz is sinking further into the relegation zone and it is possible that if they continue to lose, their chances of being relegated will also increase. They need to get more than 5 points to survive this season but that also requires defeats against Lorient and Nantes to get a safe place. If we look at the odds given by the bookie, Lens' winning option with odds @1.80 is very worth betting on and there is no doubt that Lens cannot win. I will enter this match in multibet and hope that everything will be correct in my predictions. |

Week 19 will be a very decisive week for Leverkusen, because if they can win this match then they will certainly lock in the Bundesliga title this season, considering that the points they have will no longer be able to be overtaken by Bayern Munich who are in second place. 2. Their points gap is 16 and there are only 6 games remaining, so this week I think Leverkusen will celebrate their success in Bundelsiga this season.
Their opponent in this match is Bremen, who in their last 5 matches received 4 defeats and 1 draw. With statistics like that we know who is superior in this match. I think Leverkusen will be able to complete their task well, and if they manage to lock up the title in Week 29 then they will be able to focus on their next target in the Europa League. I can't wait to see the match and I want to see the celebrations from different clubs over the last decade.
The match also feels special because they will be the hosts and the fans will come flooding into the stadium to give their support to their favorite team. It will be a very lively party for Leverkusen considering that this is their third Bundesliga title. The last time Leverkusen won this title was 30 years ago and they can finally feel it again this season. Werder Bremen is not a difficult opponent for Leverkusen and even if they are under pressure later, Leverkusen can always win in the final seconds of the match as we always see. There will be no problems because all the players will go all out in this match and they have to ensure that without having to wait for another match at the end of the season. Focusing on the European league is indeed the main job after winning the title, but I think Leverkusen will still extend its record as an unbeaten team until the season ends. |

After losing to Barcelona, is it possible that PSG's chances are still quite open in the second leg? especially this time they have to visit Camp Nou where Barcelona is. I think the opportunity is still there, but not as big as we expected considering that Barcelona unexpectedly beat PSG in the first leg and that was a major blow for Luis Enrique's squad.
Many people expected PSG to win yesterday. They were the favourite and even had lower odds, since they were playing at home. They played well but their performance was not enough to give them the result. I don't know if they will be able to undo the loss when they visit Camp Nou. Well they have to give it their best because the worst that can happen is they failure to qualify for the semi final, although this will be a huge disappointment for the team and their key player Kylian Mbappe who might leave the club at the end of the season. He needed to leave a good legacy in the club besides the series of the French league titles. Certainly there are quite a few bettors who have lost their money by favoring PSG and it must be understood that PSG is not what it used to be. Even though in terms of squad depth, PSG is very strong and when compared to Barcelona the difference is quite large. But this did not weaken Barcelona and instead it was a good opportunity to win at their opponent's home ground. Apart from that, it is true that Mbappe must provide another legacy besides the French league title because this season will be his last to wear the capital team's uniform. However, the question arises again, is Mbappe the figure PSG needs most at the moment? and if in big matches he is not visible at all then that does not reflect at all that he is one of the star players at the moment. |

Atletico Madrid are coming back to the La Liga after a really valuable win against Dortmund. I think they will reach next phase in the Champions League as well. Simeone is doing his best to keep a balance between the Champions League and La Liga. However they are still under danger of finishing out of top four in the league.  In this month they are playing two tough league games against Girona and Athletic Bilbao. Both are home ones which could be seen as advantage. If they collect 6 points from these games I will be more confident about them to finish in top four. Otherwise they might be in trouble. Even though they often don't get good results lately, Atletico still proves their quality when they are in bigger competitions and the victory against Dortmund means a lot for their players to continue to get other wins in La Liga. This week they will face Girona first of all and indirectly this is one of the key matches for Atletico to cut points from Girona in the standings. Apart from that, against Bilbao the situation will be very similar to against Girona and there is no reason for Atletico not to win. Because if Atletico loses in these two matches, it is certain that they will not be able to stay in the top four for longer and that will make it easier for Bilbao to overtake Atletico. I wonder if Atletico can still finish in the top four when the competition will be tougher at the end of the season. |

Chelsea are aiming for osimhen according to the Anglo-Saxon press.
The player will certainly leave Napoli and Italy this summer, declared several times by the Napoli's president.
The price will not be less than 100 million, and according to the president's words the player should already have an agreement with an English team.
These reports about Osimhen are getting my attention. Guy seems unhappy at Napoli, and it's easy to see why after a rough season. It's time to start over. I think he'll do great in the Premier League. That much strength and that fast pace... it's his kind of game. Also, getting the Premier League title? Huge reasons to brag. Even though PSG might be a candidate, I have a feeling that England is calling his name. It will be interesting to see if any more Premier League teams join. This could cost a lot! While Osimhen is still at his best, the safest step is to secure his career potential in a better team. With Napoli last season he was very powerful and nothing could stop him from scoring the winning goal for Napoli. But what is happening now is only the ruins of Napoli which can no longer be rebuilt and he must have realized that since coach Luciano Spalleti left him. Now the most important thing is how he can secure a wider career path and in the league that is his dream, maybe it can come true. But if in the end he chooses to join Chelsea then it will be the same as what he did with Napoli this season so there will be no big changes in his career. Osimhen really has to join the right club and this is about how he can make a big name again on the European stage. |

I think the opportunity is still there, but not as big as we expected considering that Barcelona unexpectedly beat PSG in the first leg and that was a major blow for Luis Enrique's squad.
It was also seen that PSG's star player, Kylian Mbappe, was unable to do anything and unlike usual he could always threaten the opponent's defense. Practically last night we witnessed a less than good performance from Kylian Mbappe, even though long ago we often talked about him as the most anticipated player in this match. Unfortunately, Barcelona seems to know how to kill their move and winning with a narrow aggregate difference is very important for the Blaugrana to make it easier for them to progress to the semifinals.

To win again seems very difficult for Nice and they only got 1 win in the last 5 matches. Now their chances are dwindling to secure the top four in the standings and with a difference of 5 points from Lille, they have to work even harder to achieve this. As much as possible they have to show the good game they showed at the start of the season.
Now Nice cannot continue to experience a decline in performance and they must win this week against relegation zone team Lorient. In the next match this should not be a problem for Nice and they must get full points again to reduce the existing gap. They also have to be careful because the difference in points between the teams below them is very small so if Nice draws or loses again then they will go down again.

The famous German coach Ralf Rangnick was recently linked to Bayern Munich. Since Bayern Munich couldn't have a good performance with Tuchel, they were about to stop working with this coach and that's why some coaches are linked to Bayern Munich for the next season. Since they had a bad experience of choosing the coach wrongly when they started working with Tuchel, Bayern Munich wanted to spend more time to start looking for a better coach. Ralf Rangnick is currently working in Austria. There were some new Ralf Rangnick joining Bayern Munich for the next season but he said he is under contract with Austria until 2026 and there is no reason to talk about Bayern Munich since he is not working there.  I think this is quite difficult for Ralf Rangnick considering that he is still under contract for another 2 years with Austria, but it is possible that as long as the offer from Bayern Munich can make him change his mind, of course he will take it. However, I also see that Ralf Rangnick is not the ideal coach for Bayern Munich and even though he is also German, his quality is still quite doubtful. I still remember how he managed Manchester United several seasons ago and he was nothing more than an ordinary coach and on the other hand he would not be able to awaken the abilities of Bayern Munich's main squad. Currently, most of the big teams are led by young coaches and I think they have fresher tactics so that's what Bayern Munich needs right now. An experienced coach is also very important if possible, therefore Bayern Munich will still be looking for other candidates at this time. |

Personally, I might as well do BTTS in this match. Maybe the BTTS I will choose is BTTS Yes. The reason is that even though Tottenham has a big chance of winning, it is possible that Newcastle will also score one or two goals in this match. So choosing BTTS Yes, I think it would be better.
The bookie already know both teams are often score and conceded a goal, so the odds for BTTS Yes is low @1.33. Personally I won't bet for such low odds, sometime Tottenham perform very awful, just like when they met Fulham, scored nothing and conceded 3 goals. I would bet "Will there be more than 2.5 goals? Yes" the odds is @3.20, worth to risk. For this match, I think there's no harm in taking more risks while the opportunity is there. It is impossible for Spurs to score few goals and on the other hand, Fulham will also score even if they concede first. It is quite reasonable for your betting choice to place over 2.5 goals and maybe that will be very easy to realize and you don't need to worry about both teams scoring goals. I'm more interested in your betting options because BTTS is a waste of time with such small odds. Moreover, considering that both teams have to win, neither of them will play it safe and choose to play openly to launch attacks. I hope there will be no mistakes they usually show in defense and it will all be easier if someone makes a blunder. |

The Bundesliga is not longer the easy and straight as we assumed it to be all these years, this current season is a different one and we have watches how floppy the Bundesliga giant have turn out to be and this alone have reduce the chances of these team. Bayern Munich deserves every terrible thing that's happening to them currently because I see absolutely zero reason why the team's management will sack Julian Nagelsmann for no good reason and swiftly bring on Thomas Tuchel who's yet to give any evidence this season. Bayern Munich is probably in their worst form currently.
The dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann was an event that I will never forget and since then the destruction of Bayern Munich has slowly begun to unfold. It's no surprise that Bayern Munich experienced a difficult season by bringing in Thomas Tuchel, even though at Chelsea he was already starting to become unreliable, but Bayern Munich took him instead. The mistakes made by Bayern Munich were the start of a disaster and even though they have a great squad, as long as the quality of their coach has declined, they can't do anything. This is not comparable to what Leverkusen is doing and they are quite lonely considering that Bayern Munich cannot compete fiercely and instead continues to be destroyed without stopping. The Bundesliga is no longer fast food that Bayern Munich can eat and they must realize that an old team has risen and it is Leverkusen who will be the new kings of this competition. |
