Yes, I admit Chelsea have a good defense but unfortunately, sometimes their defense is so bad that in the end they lose. But if in the first half they can defend well, then at least it can be a guarantee that their defense will still be safe.
Because even though in the first half Arsenal controlled the match, in reality Arsenal did not have shots on goal and Chelsea lost in statistics but Chelsea could make one shot on goal.

With statistics like that it is likely the match will end in a draw, because as I said before. That when Chelsea can play with a good defense in the first half, then that can be a little guarantee they will be able to keep it until the end of the match.
But yes, anything can still happen but if I can predict, then I'm pretty sure the match will end in a draw, or Arsenal will win by a narrow margin like a double chance for the away team.

Indeed, because of the reflection of Ronaldo who still has ambitions for a title but the team can't do it and sometimes Ronaldo can't accept all the coach's decisions.
So of course as a legend player feels unappreciated which will certainly make his behavior a little tarnished, this can at least happen to anyone but for a legend this case is very unfortunate.

Therefore, I also said earlier that Pique's decision was indeed the right one, because previously there was a case that Pique experienced at least it made him uncomfortable. Moreover, if Pique is on the bench too often, then what is feared is that behavior that may not be good will occur. What's more the current coach is Xavi which of course, Pique and Xavi are good friends and Pique doesn't want things to get any worse.
Anyway, Pique's decision to retire is indeed the right one, because it will also keep his name good as a legend at Barcelona.

After I checked on two different sources, it turned out that Bukayo Saka was not injured and indeed, I also saw that in the previous match, Bukayo Saka in the Europa League, Bukayo Saka was replaced with Gabriel Jesus in the 63rd minute.
Indeed, when walking towards the changing room, Bukayo Saka was seen being helped by the medical team by looking like he was limping or holding back pain. But it looks like it's just a minor injury and in this match against Chelsea Bukayo Saka can still play, so the Arsenal squad at this moment are indeed fit.

But unfortunately, for Chelsea there are a few injured players and N'Golo Kante we know N'Golo Kante has a hamstring injury. In fact, according to news circulating N'Golo Kante has been removed from the French squad because he is still injured and also, there are several Chelsea defenders who are also still injured.
Therefore, the Arsenal squad is in a better condition at this moment compared to Chelsea, so at least Arsenal still has a chance to win but that doesn't mean Chelsea will lose easily. Because after all, both of them are top teams who will certainly try not to lose in this match, and so sharing points is not something that is difficult either.

It was an easy match for Dortmund and I don't doubt the quality that Dortmund have in this match but indeed, sometimes the big teams against the lower ranks can be surprising results but that doesn't always happen.
Also, Dortmund can even win from the first half so they can be more comfortable playing in the second half. But unfortunately, Dortmund really lowered the tempo of their game in the second half, so no more goals were created but the result was enough for Dortmund to stay in the top four.

Because even though in the match tomorrow, for example, Freiburg can win the match and as said, Dortmund will still be in the top four.
Also, I still believe the two teams for Union Berlin and Freiburg in the match that will take place tomorrow they look fine, and of course they still have a chance to win because both are still on fire especially for Union Berlin.

Yes, Real Madrid has a real winning mentality. Last season when they weren't favorites and even if I'm not mistaken Real Madrid were 3-0 down by Chelsea but in the second half Real Madrid came back and it was like something impossible to happen. Because the opponent is a strong team that doesn't just rely on luck to get to that stage, but Real Madrid with all its capabilities can turn the situation around.

Agree also about Manchester City and even, last season Manchester City also basically have a chance to be able to advance to the final. But again and again, Real Madrid became the team that beat Manchester City and in that way, all the big teams that Real Madrid played against last season were defeated by Real Madrid.
But it looks like this season will be very different for the Real Madrid squad, although so far they are still doing well in La Liga but it looks like the hurdles in the Champions League will be getting tougher for Real Madrid.

Elche is getting worse now following the defeat he just experienced against Valladolid, after all it was a victory that was certain to happen for Valladolid because Elche was the weakest team so far this season.
Elche is the only team so far that hasn't won at all, it's a shame but indeed at least every season there will always be a team that experiences bad things like this and unfortunately this season Elche can't develop their game.

With this result, it will certainly be a difficult mission for Elche to get out of the relegation zone, and they must prepare to be relegated at the end of the season.
Because for the teams above it only have a close point gap like only having a one point gap, while for Elche they have a six point gap with Sevilla at this moment.
But I think it's also a surprise for Sevilla who are still in the relegation zone right now, and they will play away against Betis tomorrow. It seems that in that match Sevilla will not be able to get full points, and will still survive in the relegation zone.

I think so far the Atalanta v Napoli match is still going according to the prediction that Napoli indeed, it will not be easy if targeting to get full points, because after all Atalanta will not give up easily.
At least it was proven by Atalanta who were able to score the first goal but unfortunately, Napoli could reply quickly. Napoli can still lead in ball possession and that means, Napoli are still in good form so far and it is still possible to win.

So yes, even though it is difficult to keep on winning but if Napoli manages to end the match with a draw, in fact Napoli can still consistently get points. I personally have no doubts about Napoli's performance this season, they really will be able to maximize their performance this season to win the title that he has coveted.

Even to focus on Serie A, Napoli still have to make great efforts, so for me Napoli still don't have the quality to be able to win the Champions League title.
Meanwhile, we know that teams like Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich from season to season always improve just to win the Champions League title. Because they haven't won the Champions League title in the last few seasons, and in fact the efforts they have put in are very large to win the Champions League title but have not yet achieved it.

So, if you say Napoli will win the Champions League title this season in my opinion it is impossible, even though in football anything can still happen but still, I believe Napoli will not reach the Champions League final this season. Because even though they are good in Serie A so far, but in fact Napoli have not purely got all the wins in every match and there are still teams that are able to hold Napoli to a draw in Serie A.

Therefore, it was too soon to choose Napoli as a candidate for the Champions League title, because the Champions League is a big tournament which of course every team that wants to win the Champions League title does not only rely on luck because it requires high consistency from season to season.

It looks like Bilbao may underestimate Girona so that Bilbao lost by Girona with a score of 2-1, this will be bad for Bilbao because its position is threatened to be in the middle of the standings. Whereas previously Bilbao was able to beat Villarreal, which Bilbao should have played well also in last night's match against Girona.

But indeed, I think this is also a turning point for Girona who previously managed to draw Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, and finally played at home and won against Bilbao. I don't think many people think that Girona can achieve this good result in three consecutive matches, because Girona is also a promoted team, it is not easy to have to go through the play-off round.
But it looks like Girona will also be a promoted team who will have a good performance by being in the middle of the table after Valladolid and Almeria.

Your prediction is different from his, because he chose a draw for the match Nottingham Forest VS Brentford FC, whereas you chose Nottingham Forest to win.

I just want to ask what is your goal for betting, is it for big wins or just betting without a specific target?
Because if you bet with the aim of winning big, why do you choose Manchester City with the ML option which is very clear the odds are low, while for other matches they have better odds.
If you really have a goal to win big, then you can choose the Asian Handicap option for Manchester City such as -2, -2.5 and so on. Because with the Asian Handicap option you can get the same odds as other matches, and of course you will get a higher total odds.

Even though you bet on Nottingham Forest and get good odds in the match, the risk is very high, so it would be better to choose Manchester City but with the Asian Handicap option with high odds because on paper Manchester City is certainly predicted to win.
So choosing for Manchester City to win with a fairly wide goal gap is certainly still possible, although all have risks but on paper Manchester City clearly has the quality for it.

Has anyone had the same fate?




It was a home match for Udinese who on paper will win easily because their opponent Lecce is only at the bottom of the standings, after four matches without a win I think this will be the right moment for Udinese to win again.
But unfortunately, my guess was wrong because actually I still understand the draw and lost in the previous four matches, because at the beginning Udinese got that draw when Udinese played against Atalanta and then Lazio which I think their quality is also good.

Udinese who were previously in the top four if I'm not mistaken, I think they will be able to regain their best form but again and again they still can't win.
Therefore, Udinese can't compete in the top six for much longer and I have already said that Udinese is indeed one of the teams that will be struggling in the middle of the standings throughout the season and it will happen again now.

Both of these teams do not yet have a good record so far in Ligue 1, because even though Troyes looks better, but the dominance of Troyes for their home match so far has more often obtained a draw. Also, about Auxerre they are very weak on the away match because of the six away matches for Auxerre so far they have only won once and five other results have lost.
So yes, actually both are still not fully good so far in Ligue 1, but if only considering their position in the standings then of course Troyes is still better than Auxerre at this moment.

Also, if we consider their dominance in Head to Head, it seems that Troyes does have more chance to win. But still, for a draw on this time can still happen but with a low percentage and because Troyes will play at home at least it can be a good factor for Troyes.
Because so far this season Troyes gets a draw more often when playing at home, but in this point because his opponent is a promotion team, of course Troyes will make a home victory for the second time this moment.

Well, not sure about Barcelona's debt, because Barcelona have done it many times and even many other players have been kind to Barcelona for example with Miralem Pjanić too.
It looks like if Barcelona can publicize the debt they have then of course it will destroy Barcelona themselves, but so far they seem to be doing well and I don't know why. Debt problem is a big problem but somehow Barcelona are not quick to overcome this, but at the same time Barcelona can recruit and build a luxurious squad, it really surprises me.


Yes, Gerard Pique is a great player in my view too but indeed, I also admit that Gerard Pique can no longer play for much longer. Unlike Thiago Silva who still has super strong power and is still playing in a tough league like the Premier League, but for Gerard Pique he can't force himself to stay strong and move fast. Because after all, Barcelona should have a full regeneration in the squad because Barcelona can't continue to play the old way.


But unfortunately, Gerard Pique has decided to retire which means he will no longer be a professional footballer. Although indeed, if for example Gerard Pique offers himself to another team then surely there are still teams who will be willing to sign Gerard Pique for at least the next one to two seasons.

But I don't know whether it was purely because of his desire to retire or there were other factors that made him choose to retire suddenly like this. Because we know before that there was a case in Spain about Gerard Pique but I didn't follow the case, but maybe because the case triggered Gerard Pique to choose to retire. Maybe, because I also don't know if the case experienced by Gerard Pique was really bad or not.

I'm sure a lot of people are aware of the shocking news about Gerard Pique having announced his retirement in the near future, but I'm not really that surprised and maybe it's a good choice for Pique. Because if Pique continues to play with a declining performance then it will also not be good for Pique, so before Pique has something worse like an injury or something else it would be better to retire sooner and not have to wait any longer.

Because on several occasions Pique has only become a substitute, because even though Pique retires, in fact Pique will not be completely separated from the world of football. So yes, having a lot of skills then choosing to retire is also not a bad thing, but according to the news I got the first time that the match against Almeria was his last match for Pique.



But after I checked again, it turned out that Xavi confirmed the match against Osasuna was Pique's last match. But anyway this week or next week it is the end of Pique's career as a professional footballer, and I wish Pique success out there he is a great player and I idolized him for a long time.

But in the end Ballkani couldn't do much and they were only bottom of Group G but indeed, at least Ballkani can give a little surprise by beating Sivasspor. No one thought that Ballkani could win in that away match, because even Sivasspor in this group was the strongest team because in the end Sivasspor could win the group but Ballkani beat him and of course it was something great.

But regarding these two Turkish teams, I am personally very optimistic that Basaksehir is the best compared to Sivasspor and because of that, I believe Basaksehir will be able to go further in this tournament. Because Basaksehir in the local league in the last few seasons has always been a team that is in the title race so yes, Basaksehir should have the ability maybe to the semi-finals. Because if I consider other teams, especially teams from the Europa League who will join here, then of course to get to the final match will still require great effort in the quality they have.

Yes, it is an important match for them because of their position in the standings, which are close or have very tight competition in the standings. Although this is not the end of everything, but it seems for Juventus and Atalanta to be a difficult mission to win because this is a chance for them especially for Juventus to be able to continue to compete in the top six.
But for Atalanta, at least if they are able to beat Napoli then Napoli still can't breathe a sigh of relief, because they are still under pressure from the teams below. But if Napoli win, then of course it will be increasingly difficult for Atalanta and also the team under Napoli to be able to teach and overtake Napoli's position at the top of the standings.

But yes, because Atalanta, Milan and Roma are playing at home then they should still be able to get full points especially for Milan and Roma. Although Atalanta could not beat Napoli, but Atalanta could still end the match with a draw. If that can happen, then of course their competition will still be very tight throughout this season because their points gap is not too wide.

I can't say Olympiacos are having their worst season this season in the Europa League, because even though Olympiacos can qualify for the next round, the reality is that Olympiacos can never go further.
Also, regarding their competition in the local league I think there is no problem too because everything is still running normally. Even though Olympiacos is a team that dominates their local league but sometimes they get poor results, and that is natural and it can also be seen that their dominance can still be broken even though it will take a long time for their rival teams to break Olympiacos' dominance in the local league.

Anyway, a team that can dominate the local league doesn't guarantee they will do well in the European tournament, just look at what happened with Celtic and even Bayern Munich. both teams are dominating their respective leagues, but the good results they got in the local league they can't achieve in European tournaments and that seems like something that often happens too.


Dynamo Kiev this season does seem to be a difficult season for them, because the safety factor in their country may also be one of the causes of their declining performance this season and even Dynamo Kiev's local league slipped to the middle of the standings.
But I'm not disappointed with them because of several factors that happened, so it's certainly not easy for Dynamo Kiev to recover quickly.


Also about Lazio they actually won on their last matchday yesterday but unfortunately, Lazio still lost in goal productivity so Lazio were not lucky enough to win the group.
Because even, this group until the end of the group stage still have the same points and it is something very tough competition in Group F because they only differ about the total goals and this happens very rarely. Because usually there are only two teams that have the same points, but in this group all teams have a total of 8 points which is of course very competitive in the competition that occurs in Group F.

Matchday 13 tomorrow has three big matches and they are a match between,
Atalanta v Napoli
Roma v Lazio
Juventus v Inter

These are the three matches that are difficult to predict especially for Roma v Lazio because in my prediction they have not much different qualities, so to choose one to win is a difficult choice. But somehow I will try to choose Lazio because I think Lazio are better if they play against a team in the standings competition like Roma. Because Lazio were also able to beat Atalanta in the previous match and while Roma lost by Atalanta, they have a team that is not much different in quality but Lazio is still a bit superior it seems.

But for Napoli, I personally am still very confident that Napoli will still be able to beat Atalanta at this moment. Indeed, this is a chance for them to be able to move away from the team below them, but it is also a good opportunity for the team below them to continue to press the team whose position is above them.
But because in their last head to head, Napoli could win away with a score of 1-3, and because at this moment Napoli's performance is still good, I believe Napoli will be able to win this match while strengthening its position at the top of the standings.

But for the match between Juventus v Inter, anything is possible, and even though Juventus are still in a difficult situation but of course they will bring out all their abilities because this is a good opportunity for Juventus to have hope of getting back into the European zone.
In terms of player quality these two teams have a good squad, but in terms of performance they are very different and Inter look better. Also, in the last five head to head matches they have not dominated the win too much, and because at this moment there are still many Juventus players injured it looks like Inter will maximize it to get full points.

I still consider Arsenal it looks like it will still be difficult to win but even so, Arsenal do have a better chance of winning. One thing that I am still confident about choosing Arsenal is because they are still consistent in making quick goals in the first half, if in this match Arsenal can still do that fast goal then surely Arsenal will be able to defend it until the last minute.
Indeed, there is no guarantee, but as a bettor I should at least have a reason to choose the team that will be included in the multi bet which is what I usually do.


About Liverpool I agree with @lalabotax, that Liverpool is sometimes bad when playing mediocre teams but can be very good when playing against other top teams. In fact, previously Liverpool could beat Manchester City, but in that match Liverpool played at home.

But for now Liverpool will play away which even, so far this season Liverpool have not won when playing away in the Premier League. In contrast to Tottenham so far Tottenham have only lost once at home and because of that, although sometimes Liverpool can play well against other top teams. But for this moment I personally doubt Liverpool and will choose Tottenham to win, or a draw could be the result that could happen in this match.

If a mediocre team against a top team only gets small odds, but of course you can still get big odds with other options. But indeed, to get big odds in a match between a mediocre team against a top team will have a high risk too.
But I think it's relative because not all bettors will look for high odds in just one match, because usually they are also looking for high odds with multi bets. In fact, in this match between Chelsea v Arsenal, I'm sure not all bettors will bet on ML, because they can play it safe with the option of draw no bet or double chance.

But regardless of which option you choose, the match between Chelsea v Arsenal is indeed a very interesting derby at this moment because Arsenal are usually under Chelsea but currently Arsenal are even still at the top of the English Premier League standings.
This factor is certainly very interesting because Chelsea and Arsenal got very different final results in the previous match, where Chelsea lost big and Arsenal won big. It will at least have an impact on their performance at this moment and therefore, I also chose Arsenal to win but maybe I predict Chelsea will find it difficult to score until the match does not have many goals scored.
