Roma team has a chance to put three points distance from milan if they manage a win against Udinese, it will be tough but i expect them to get the three points their opponent is not in a good shape in the last couple of games they showed a weak performance and if its a home game roma barely lose points there was an exception against sassuolo but they had a red card so its understandavle that they lost.
Even though Roma have recorded positive results in several of their matches, in the initial meeting this season against Udinese, they (Roma) lost with a score of 4-0. But in this match it is Udinese's turn to play an away match at the Olimpiaco stadium and I think this is the right time to avenge the previous crushing defeat. On the other hand, Mourinho really has to ensure this victory so that his winning trend continues. My prediction is that Rome will win narrowly with a score of 2-1 considering that Udinese is also not an easy opponent to beat. |

The curse of a draw in the previous meeting with Lens was finally overcome by PSG by winning at home with a convincing score of 3-1. Throughout the match PSG were able to dominate with 62% possession and Lens were only able to collect 38%, PSG were so favored because they were the home team.
The difference between the two teams was clear, especially when one of the Lens players had to be sent off for getting a red card in the 19th minute. Suddenly this was an opportunity for PSG to keep pressing until Mbappe, Vitinha and Messi got their names on the scoreboard. Lens was only able to score 1 goal in this match and even then through the penalty spot. PSG are increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings with a total of 72 points and making the distance from Lens to 9 points.

Having excelled first through 2 goals scored by Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odeegard did not make Arsenal feel safe enough. West ham was able to catch up with the first goal in the 33rd minute through a penalty scored by Benrahma and followed by the second goal scored by Bowen in the second half.
Arsenal continued to attack but they did not produce additional goals in the remainder of the second half and had to be willing to share points with West ham. The results were quite disappointing because Mikel Arteta's troops were targeting full points to keep away from the pursuit of Manchester City and it seems that Pep Guardiola is very happy with the results achieved by Arsenal in this match.

The first half is over and the score is still tied at 0-0 for the Getafe vs Barcelona match. Statistically, Barcelona actually controlled the match with 62% and were only able to record 1 shot on target. This is very far from what they dominated in this match and I think in the second half it is likely that Barcelona will still have difficulty scoring goals.
On the other hand, Getafe played quite well by continuing to anticipate attacks from Barcelona and if they can maintain this it is likely that the two teams will draw until the game is over. However, in my opinion, Barcelona still has a slight chance of narrowly winning this match and it is really worth waiting for a goal from Lewandowski.

The latest news comes from Real Madrid, one of the veteran midfielders Toni Kroos will sign a contract extension until June 2024 and he will stay at Real Madrid for one more season. Surely this is good news for Los Blancos fans, because his role is still important enough to set the rhythm in midfield, as well as provide advice to the younger generation of players. Previously there were no rumors regarding his move to another club and from the start Toni Kroos wanted to stay at Real Madrid for at least one more season and he finally got it in the near future.

It was a shame when they were so close to victory they had to run aground due to their own mistakes at the end of the final minutes before the match ended. I was quite optimistic at that time that I would see Manchester United win and give me the win, but what happened was the opposite, they actually made a fatal mistake so they had to settle for a draw.
Never mind that the two own goals did not happen. But Ten Hag has no option to drop Maguire. But blaming Maguire is also wrong, Man United's performance of the second half declined. Or indeed Sevilla improved his playing style. Fortunately, there is currently no calculation of home and away goals. So there is hope but it is small, I feel pessimistic. Ten Hag must immediately think about the second leg for them to get trophies this season, although there is still a chance in the FA Cup. It's like saying a draw is the same as the two teams have never played for the first leg, but this is also a loss for Manchester United who have to play an away match at Sevilla. Regardless of what happened, I can't draw too many conclusions regarding the mistakes Maguire made in that match. Maybe it's my hope that Manchester United will be able to recover with the current squad because we know that many key players have been absent due to injury in the first leg match. |

Both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will be somehow disappointed with yesterday's result, but I think Dortmund will be more disappointed. Bayern Munich had a very bad result against Manchester City and many thought they were gonna get Hoffenhiem thrashed with a big goal margin in other to maintain their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table but they failed to do so. Dortmund were expected to capitalize on that Bayern Munich's draw by winning their own match and draw level on points with Bayern but they blew the chance away by taking just one point away from a 10-man Stuttgart.
Indeed, this was a very painful blow for Dortmund, how could it not be when they had won first through 2 goals in the first half, but when the second half just started they also conceded 2 goals immediately. Dortmund wanted to close the victory with a score of 2-3 through a decisive goal in injury time, but because the injury time given by the referee was long enough, Stuttgard was able to score the equalizing goal right in the final minute of the injury time. For Bayern Munich they were just unlucky in the game against Hoffenheim and we have to credit goalkeeper Oliver Baumann who managed to make 6 saves. |

Maybe Milan was still good enough to get a draw in yesterday's game, but for Inter I don't understand what exactly is going on at this club anymore. They have always been deadlocked in the last few matches of Serie A, especially when they came against teams much weaker than them and their most recent defeat was losing to Monza with a narrow score of 0-1.
On the other hand, even though Inter had just beaten Benfica on the champions league stage, when they returned to Serie A they again became a team with poor performance. After several months they were in the top 4 and finally now they have to be willing to drop to 5th in the standings, but their position will not be secure until next week because Atalanta are ready to replace it.

Well, even though Milan only got a 1-1 draw, but at least Milan is still better than Napoli who couldn't even score a goal. Also, if I compare the positions of Bologna and Verona, it seems very clear that Bolgna is in the top ten and Verona is in the relegation zone, but Napoli still failed to beat Verona.
Also, in the statistics for the match between Bologna against Milan, the fact is that Milan still has good statistics and this at least proves it. That is, Milan can still play optimally even though Milan still have to play against Napoli in the second leg in the Champions League. So, I still think that the result that Milan got in this match is still a good result for Milan. Yes, indeed, Milan's position is threatened by Inter but it doesn't seem like it's a big problem, because there are still other matches that will allow Milan to still finish in the top four.
The results of this week's matches were colored by draws and indeed no one thought that this would also happen to Napoli, who had a much bigger chance of winning. Actually I wanted to bet on Napoli's win, but after seeing the confirmed line-up from Napoli there was no Kvaratskhelia's name. This made me doubt the absence of Osimhen, Napoli had difficulty scoring goals, especially in that match without Kvaratskhelia, the possibility of winning with a thin score was still in question. Even though this result can still get 1 additional point in the standings, I think Napoli must be better prepared for whoever their opponents are and get back to winning ways so that this season's Scudetto title is immediately locked for them. |

Surprisingly, the Villarreal vs Valladolid match was ironic for the hosts who trailed 0-2 to the visitors. even 2 goals were made in the first half with one very quick goal. this really shocked the Villarreal players.
now Villarreal are dominating the match, they are trying to score goals and reduce the gap. the game has entered the 65th minute, not much time for Villarreal to score a goal. they must immediately take the initiative to dismantle Valladolid's defenses.
But the match ended with a victory for Valladolid with a score of 1-2. Even though Villarreal had caught up with 1 goal, it was not enough to equalize until the final minute. The result was quite surprising considering that Villarreal was so favored to win, but instead lost. On the other hand, Valladolid's victory had to be paid for with the loss of a red card received by one of Pezzolano's players in the 74th minute. With this result, Villarreal must be stuck in 5th place in the standings and if Betis wins against Espanyol in the match then their position will be shifted by Betis in this week. It is quite unfortunate that Villarreal the host couldn't score a goal in the first half and Villadolid scored all their two goals in the first half,with an early goal in the second minutes of the first half. This shows that Villarreal underestimated their opponent and for this reason they find it difficult to play Villadiolid. It was after the red card given to a player in Villadolid that Villarreal was able to score a goal to end the match 2-1 against Villareal. Villarreal is 5th on the table and I don't think that they will last long on their position because Real Betis is just two points behind them,and if Real Betis should win their match,they will put Villarreal behind them with a point difference. Talking about Real Betis, they are currently 2-1 ahead of their opponent Espanyol, the second half of the match is still quite long and if Real Betis are able to maintain this advantage then they have the opportunity to shift Villarreal's position. On the other hand, in terms of ball possession so far the two teams are fairly even and I think Real Betis will be able to score one more goal to ensure their victory today, but if Espanyol can hold it to a draw then Villarreal's position will remain safe this week. |

This is how you lose the title. You have a player more a big lead and you end up drawing the match. Its like they hit the self-destruct button,this was the perfect chance for Dortmund to grab a win and make Bayern uncoftorble. Also bayern almost lost all points against Hoffenheim that played really good attacking football
It's really weird what happened to Dortmund in this match. Although I didn't watch it, I was watching the result and thought Dortmund has climbed to lead the rankings table. After that, I was shocked when I saw the final result, because Stuttgart didn't look like the team that could come back. However, the excitement of football comes from these cases. This match proved that a match doesn't end until the last signal of the referee. In addition, the German teams and the Bundesliga are known to be full of these situations. Anyway, Dortmund might regret missing these 2 points later, while Bayern should be thanking god because Dortmund didn't win, as they could have lost everything this season. It was quite tense this match and the 3-3 draw was far from everyone's prediction for sure. Maybe Dortmund are unlucky this time and they have to hold their heads high to face the next game later. On the other hand, Stuttgart almost lost to scoring an injury time equalizer and we have to credit them for denying Dortmund a win with just 10 men on the pitch. Bayern Munich must be very happy to hear of Dortmund's draw and it will be a job for the two to compete again next week. |

The only reasonable (albeit dubious) option is that Firmino is a temporary option until Real Madrid poach a new top striker like Mbappe/Haaland. Benzema will be at Real Madrid for another year but if this year is like this one when he missed a lot of games, then Real without a second striker will suffer a lot - that's what Firmino will be hired for (if will). And by the way, yes, Latino players retire early on average, so he doesn't have much time ahead of him.
Actually, Firmino is not very suitable for Madrid and the task he gets to cover Benzema is clearly not optimal. Even though at the moment Madrid is trying to glance at Firmino, if there are other options then it is possible that Firmino can be forgotten. This year his contract will expire even though Jurgen Klopp still wants him to stay at Liverpool. Madrid chasing Mbappe or Haaland? nothing will materialize even if Man City can raise a bigger salary for Haaland there, no one can take Haaland so far from Man City and Mbappe who arguably has disappointed Madrid many times because it gives false hope he will be tied to PSG even though Mbappe felt uncomfortable there. It is rather complicated to choose the right player for the benzema coating at Real Madrid. Even so, it has been a long time since Real Madrid have not spent on star players and have maximized the young players in their academy. Actually, Firminho is still quite a good cover for one season, but if Real Madrid are not satisfied then they have to find a striker that is commensurate with Benzema. On the other hand, Haaland and Mbappe are both just rumors that will never come true for Real Madrid. |

This 1-0 defeat must be a huge disappointment for Napoli. You can look at it in different ways of course. Napoli had a great chance within 2 minutes. And in the first 20 minutes they should have scored at least 2-3 goals. If you don't, you're bringing the trouble on yourself. But if Napoli reach their level as they can play, then we get to see a nice game in Naples. I wouldn't dare say who the favorite is now after the first game. AC Milan was very good in the league match against Napoli when they won 0-4. Would Benfica have no chance at all in Milan at Inter?
Honestly, I personally thought that Napoli would win the match very well. But the Milan team is suddenly able to produce extraordinary performances. From that point of view, Napoli tried very hard to win or draw the match. But the Milan team's defense lineup has shown extraordinary skill. The aggregate advantage in the first leg has made Milan even more confident to play the second leg later at home to Napoli. But indeed, the absence of Osimhen in several Napoli matches made it very difficult for them to beat Milan. If we look at Napoli's domestic league match today they benched Kvaratskhelia, surely Spalletti wants to rest him before the match against milan in the second leg starts next week. It seems that in the second leg later we will also be presented with a duet from Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, which is likely he (Osimhen) has recovered from injury right in that match. |

I was very surprised by a quick goal from Sansone in minute 1 which made Bologna currently 1-0 up against Milan. The game has just started and this must be very surprising for Milanisti because their favorite team must concede first. This is in stark contrast to what Milan has shown in its several matches which are quite competent and have never conceded in their last 3 matches.
But this is still a provisional score and I'm pretty sure that milan will be able to equalize in the remainder of this first half. But if they don't have a chance in the first half, I hope that in the second half Milan can catch up to this later and secure their position in the top 4 of the standings.
When Bologna made a quick goal, Bologna should have been able to immediately control the ball and the flow of the game, so that Milan's confidence dropped, but they couldn't do that. Finally, Milan controlled the ball again and the pace of the match led to a goal in 40 minutes. Goal from Tommaso Pobega in this first half. I believe that Milan needs this victory to secure their position in the Italian league so they don't get knocked out by Intermilan, even though we know Intermilan is also inconsistent in the Italian league. but the hunt for next season's UCL tickets is certainly the target of all clubs to stay in the top 4, moreover there are still around 8 matches left so it's important to maintain consistency, soon the second half will start of course Bologna if they want to get full points they have to be able to keep playing and attacking and control the ball well. The equalizer was at least what I expected for the first half. However, when the second half started Milan was very difficult to score again and the same 1-1 draw lasted until the final whistle of the game. Of course this result is far from good and they must be quite satisfied with the results of this draw. With this result, the two teams share the same 1 point and for Milan it looks like they will be replaced by Inter if Simone Inzaghi's troops manage to win in the match against Monza at Giuzeppe Miazza. |

Chelsea was coming with the different line up again. it seems like that frank lampard is trying to do various experiment to get the best composition for the club. The first goal for chelsea was already made by gallagher. A bit surprised by this guy is doing so well in this match, unlike the previous match.  4-3-3 seems to be the best formation for chelsea right now. Pulisic's performance was not as good as before. I see how he was always easily losing the ball. Mudryk shows some improvement happened with him. He is now able to dribble without even worrying. Lampard may have been giving him so much motivation. Fofana is performing better and better. It seems like that fofana will be able to become the next thiago silva for chelsea. I hope that cucurela will not even play in this match. This guy is always so many blunders. This composition looks better right now. This is a formation that is quite familiar in football and there is nothing wrong with Frank Lampard using this formation with a different line-up. It looks like Lampard is trying a new strategy by using this formation to get better results. We can see that all the players are in their proper positions, it's just that maybe Sterling, who is used as the main striker, is not very effective because he doesn't have a tall stature. As for Cucurella, he is in poor form and often makes mistakes and he deserves to be on the bench. While the match was still in a draw in the first half with the same score 1-1 against Brighton. Is it possible that Chelsea will start to bounce back in this match? considering that his opponent Brighton currently has a much better position than Chelsea. |

Lens actually have a capable to beat PSG because previously they can able to do that even on the last meetings Lens can win 3-1 and i have seen PSG had poor records at their home because recently they were lose from Rennes and Lyon and failed to scores but what i do not like from Lens is they sometimes displayed poor performance which is caused they will losing points and it was happened several times during this season and if we talking about the bets here is the current odds for them below
PSG @1.76
Lens @4.60
I do expect Lens will able to overcomes PSG but it's quite hard for them to beat PSG this time especially Lens had poor records during playing at PSG home ground Lens were never wins so i would be thinking realistic now because PSG have more chances than Lens to win the match and for betting purposes i would like to recommend to picked PSG win for this match
even though PSG is currently not very good and Lens seems to be superior to PSG, I still believe that these two teams are equally strong and don't want to be beaten in the next game. maybe many people bet on PSG and Lens but I prefer a draw.  It makes sense if you place a bet on a draw, it is clear that the competition between the two teams is very difficult to predict who will win. Moreover, the distance between the two is not too much different, but PSG, who will be the host, is definitely targeting a narrow victory in this match. On the other hand, Lens is also targeting the same victory if they don't want to be shifted by Marseille, which is only 2 points away. Maybe we will see a very exciting match here and I think there will be a lot of yellow cards issued by the referee later. |

Bayern Munich and Dortmund today will faced easy matches this because they only faced Hoffenheim and Stuttgart and we all know these teams currently still struggle to avoid relegation zone and their performance also quite poor during this season so the chances to slipped from today matches is quite slim for them and i am sure whether it Bayern Munich and Dortmund will earn 3 points from their opponents
And regarding betting options i have seen Bayern has odds @1.18 this odds is very low and will not be profitable for the bettors so i would like to skip this match because that odds is makes me not so excited to bets for Bayern but the opposite is what we will get for another match between Stuttgart vs Dortmund because the bookie has provide decent odds for Dortmund win @2.05
The first half has ended with the superiority of each of the top teams. Bayern Munich are still not safe because they have only managed to score 1 goal in the meantime and for Dortmund they have a much safer opportunity because they have scored 2 goals. On the other hand, the odds comparison looks strange, maybe the odds for a Munich win are understandable because they are still the favorite team to win the Bundeliga title this season and if you want to increase the betting odds, we will at least take the handicap option. As for Dortmund, we don't need to use the handicap because with normal odds we have enough to make a profit. Moreover, Dortmund seems rather lucky because one of the Stuttgart players got a red card in the first half and this will be an advantage for Dortmund to score more goals in the second half. |

Aston Villa's match against Newcastle is underway and while Aston Villa is ahead with a score of 1-0. The game is still very long because it's still the first half and anything can happen. Moreover, if Aston Villa manages to secure full points in this match, at least their position will be quite safe from the pursuit of their closest team. Meanwhile, if Newcastle lose, they have to try again to secure the top 4 positions from Manchester United and Spurs. But it looks like Aston Villa will win this time and I'm still waiting for Newcastle to score an equalizer to make the game more interesting.
It seems that Aston Villa will have to get 3 points from this match by any means today. From the first minute of the match, they are playing an attacking strategy. They scored 1-0 in just 11 minutes. In 30 minutes, Aston Villa made a total of 7 shots, while Newcastle made only one shot. Aston Villa's attack forced Newcastle to play defensively today. It looks like the first half will end 1-0. However, in the second half, Newcastle will change their match strategy and achieved points from this match. I expected this match to be a draw. But I don't see good performances from Newcastle players. It seemed that Aston Villa played loose this time and they continued to attack without stopping which made them have 1 additional goal in 65 minutes. Now the match is 10 minutes away from normal time and it seems my prediction is quite correct for Aston Villa's victory this week. Newcastle couldn't improve in the second half and they instead became a team under pressure in this game. Newcastle will definitely be at a huge disadvantage if they lose this game and Eddie Howie seems to have to immediately improve with his players after this game is over because they don't have time to maintain their current position if later the closest team will be able to start shifting. The role of coach Unai Emery is very important for Aston Villa this season and I think he really deserves to get a contract extension later. |
