Week 11 will open by the top Laliga team
Real Madrid as the leader of the standings will play against Sevilla tomorrow. Even though Sevilla have been poor this season but last season they were one of the best teams in Laliga, Madrid need to be aware of that.
Real Sociedad, currently in 3rd place in the standings will visit Stadion Nuevo Jose Zorrilla
So far Real Madrid still has a chance to get full points tomorrow, as well as Sociedad because Valladolid's performance is still not convincing enough to give Sociedad a defeat.
Week 11 will be opened by a match between Rayo Vallecano v Cadiz, even Real Madrid will just play after the previous three matches. Apart from that, Real Madrid will still have a chance to get full points. Because apart from Sevilla who still haven't fully recovered, Sevilla will also play away which of course will not be easy for Sevilla to be able to hold Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. Also, the odds that are currently available are 1.36 : 4.75 : 8.50, so it is clear that Real Madrid is predicted to win and I have no doubts about it.

Regarding the match between Valladolid v Real Sociedad, on paper, of course Real Sociedad will win, because Real Sociedad's five away matches so far this season have won four and lost once. But Valladolid is still pretty good so far according to their level, and Valladolid can't be underestimated at all. Because even, head to head Real Sociedad is not always smooth or not easy to get a win when playing against Valladolid and in the previous match as well, Valladolid can win big with a score of 4-1 by beating Celta Vigo.

In Juventus vs Empoli, the hosts are of course the favorite, although I would not rule out a surprise in this match. Juventus is playing quite unpredictably and alternating good matches with very bad ones. Empoli similarly, but interestingly more points Empoli got in away matches, in which they have lost only one match so far. I will not be surprised if Empoli will get some points today.
Yeah right, I also wouldn't be surprised if Empoli can hold Juventus to a draw or maybe get full points. But even so I will still put my confidence in Juventus because after all Juventus must get up soon, because if in this match they still can't win the match. Of course, Juventus should have taken a firm stance to find a new coach, because the big question is that they still look fine with a situation like this that has been ruined in all competitions.

By the way, Empoli do get points more often when they play away, but that is a draw and not about an away win. Because Empoli have so far only won once while playing away, while Juventus have yet to get a defeat at home.

Spalletti certainly must be able to maintain the stability of the game from his team, if this is successful then the Scudetto will be in his hands. Napoli's opportunity this season is very open, considering that tough competitors such as Inter and Juventus are still inconsistent, except for AC Milan, who has little fighting power in the title race.

AC Milan has also not been completely consistent this season and even AC Milan's achievements themselves are still slightly inferior to Atalanta when compared to this season after ten games. Atalanta still haven't lost this season, neither have Napoli and I think these three teams will make the Scudetto trophy even hotter. Especially considering that the three points are not that far away and if Napoli or Atalanta get a draw in the next match, then the position will change if AC Milan is able to win again in the next match.
At least so far and for the next few matches Napoli will still be safe to maintain player stability, because Napoli have also been confirmed to qualify for the last 16 in the Champions League. Therefore, Napoli can focus more on Serie A because Napoli will just play against Atalanta at the beginning of the 11th month after they play against Liverpool. At least it will be a decisive match if the two teams still haven't lost until that matchday, the competition in the race for the Serie A title this season is not about the usual teams like Milan, Inter and Juventus. This season will be different if this rivalry between Napoli and Atalanta can continue until the end of the season or at least, we can see their rivalry before the International break and also the half of the season. If they are still consistent, then of course their rivalry will continue after the break and until the end of the season.

PSV really couldn't make much effort to make a goal because Arsenal played really well, apart from winning for the final result Arsenal also won in statistics. A result like this is certainly a result that must be obtained by Arsenal considering they are indeed on fire at this moment, so playing in the Europa League in this group stage of course Arsenal will be the best and strongest team in group A. But even though PSV lost in this match, PSV is still projected to be to be able to qualify for the next round, because for the other two teams it seems to be on a different level to Arsenal and also PSV.

Arsenal made me worried for a long time as I bet on their win. I was feeling really confident about the win before it started. After seeing that Arsenal was dominating the game completely I was even more relieved about my bet. But the goal was scored by Xhaka really late in the game. Getting stuck at only one goal was really worrying as well but thankfully they didn't give PSV much chance. PSV were really like they weren't on the field today. It was like they accepted the defeat too easily.

Maybe it was due to being comfortable in the group already. We would see their real strength in the next game maybe. It doesn't feel like Arsenal will lose there but maybe it might end in a draw this time.
Arsenal's toughest opponent in this group is only PSV, and for the next match PSV will play at home which may be able to make a draw considering how difficult it is for Arsenal to get goals in today's match even though they are ahead in statistics. Arsenal have so far got perfect results because they got all the wins in all their matches and because of that, it will indeed make Arsenal safe to stay at the top of the standings and win Group A. Even though in the second match, for example, Arsenal only got a draw at the Philips Stadion, Arsenal will still be fine and will not make Arsenal's position threatened because their points are enough to keep Arsenal through to the next round.

PSG are definitely among the biggest favourite teams to win the Champions League title this season. But there are some problems going on in the team these days as it seems.

I mean it is still claimed that Mbappe is having with some players in the team currently and Neymar is the most speculated one among them now. Mbappe claims that Neymar has some discipline deficiencies now and he wants to see Neymar being sent from the team at the earliest opportunity. If there is really such problem and PSG don't manage to solve it then this could affect the team performance after the group stage as well. Even though they drew with Benfica two times they are still qualifying for the next phase anyway. But they will face much more serious opponents later on and they need to stay strong as a team not only by performance but also by mental condition.
Only one of them and not the only one candidate for the title and with that, then PSG still have a difficult competitor for the title. I personally cannot say that PSG is the top candidate for the title winner this season, because maybe PSG will be under Manchester City as the strongest candidate and there are many other teams like Real Madrid and also we must not forget Club Brugge at this moment. It could be that Club Brugge gave a big surprise to continue to advance to the next round, because usually the team that is not considered to be able to win sometimes they can continue to go further.

Manchester city are still in a solid ground to maintain the first position in the table to surprise people that they have talented squads that will make the fans happy for the Massive success they will achieve from this season. Haaland performance so far in this season made people to believed that the team will not miss this season title than to do everything possible within their power to help the team to achieve the success before the end of the tournament.
Manchester City have looked extraordinary with their new striker, Erling Haaland. But they will still be faced with many very big hurdles to reach their goals in this Champions League. Even though they are very strong but they can still be beaten, moreover this is the Champions League where all teams perform to their best strength. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Geermain, Real Madrid are still waiting for them up front if they meet. There is still a long way to go to say they are the biggest favorites in this competition.
Although Manchester City this season has not been very good in the local League, but I still have high hopes for Manchester City for this season close enough to the Champions League title. But speaking of a surprise I think Manchester City have no surprises if they win the title, because Pep Guardiola continues to build this team from season to season. Unless Manchester City fail or don't get the title at all, then it will be a surprise because with Pep Guardiola's plans with a squad like now, of course a title must be won by Manchester City, especially for the Champions League title this season.

Bookmakers evaluate the chances of teams as follows:

2.90 - 3.50 - 2.38

I think it's fair that Napoli is the favorite (how could it be otherwise with such a phenomenal scoring game), but 2.9 for a Roma win looks tempting. It seems to me that Roma should win more often in such games than 35%. There are no guarantees, but in terms of distance, I think it's profitable to bet on Roma.
With odds like that I assume there is no favourite, and betting on any team will still give us a good advantage because the odds are almost the same. But for me considering the odds like that, then I will still bet on the team that is in their best form so far because they are unbeaten. Because to be honest Napoli in my view is a team that continues to improve from season to season even though they are, they are rarely in the title contenders as it will be easy to shake when the end of the season approaches. But because this is still part of the start of the season and Napoli will certainly try to maintain their good trend, therefore I really believe Napoli will still be able to win in this match.

Maybe the match will look easy for Napoli, but actually Roma can't be considered easy to beat, even though some of Roma's previous matches have not been so consistent.
While Napoli are still unbeaten for now, Jouse Mourinho has a target to break the positive trend of Spalletti's men, and we don't think Napoli will score more goals, considering Jouse Mourinho will be playing defensively, while Roma are also looking for full points in this match, to reduce the distance points from Napoli at the top of the standings.

Even though Roma will try to get full points in the match against Napoli, I am still more confident that Napoli will win the match because Napoli's achievements this season (especially in Serie A) have been extraordinary and Napoli will also be candidates for champions in Serie A this season. this. And not only that, you can also see Napoli's ability in the group phase of this season's Champions League where Napoli were able to beat a team from the Netherlands (Ajax) and a team from England (Liverpool). So Napoli have more potential in this regard to win the game against Roma.
Yes, indeed Roma will face a quite difficult match against Napoli later, Napoli which is in a positive trend of course does not want to stop the current unbeaten record but I think Napoli also deserves to beware of Mourinho squad because after all Mourinho often has surprises to make his opponent lose, to currently Napoli are at the top of the standings but it's still too soon for us to make Napoli as favorites to scudetto winner this season, if you remember last season, you can see that Napoli journey is not different like this season, from the beginning to the middle of the Napoli season it was quite consistent but when entering the end of the season, they actually started to get out of the way of champions and even in the end Napoli finished in third place.
If you remember and realize it too, that last season Napoli were only a team that was in third and fourth place. That means, Napoli in the previous few seasons were not as good as this time, because this season Napoli were much better because they were two unbeaten teams together with Atalanta. So even if Roma play defensively then it will only result in a draw, and that means Napoli will still be unbeaten, right. Indeed, Roma have also been better this season but I don't think there are any big surprises that Roma have made, because so far this season they can only beat Inter if they compare it with the top teams. Therefore, Napoli's chance to win will always be there in this match but for Roma, a draw was good enough for them.

Sure, that good for united to win from totenham easily. I feel curious what would be the result from next match against chelsea. United is always strong when it was playing at home but it will always be struggling to play away. MU is still not yet consistent at this moment.
That would be a common thing if united may lose in the next match against chelsea.
Chelsea have 5 wins from their last 6 games (2x Champions League against AC Milan), I would say they are very good currently. And in 2 days they play at home in London against Manchester United. A great game to watch, Chelsea should have advantages and win the game. Manchester played well again against Tottenham and Bruno Fernandes was so important for his team, because he was involved in both goals.
In addition to that statistics Graham Potter remained unbeaten since taking up the managerial job at Chelsea, he had up their game after a shaky start of the season a well prove some of his critic wrong, I believe their match against Man Utd will be use to rate Chelsea on how well the new manager will perform against any big or top team in EPL, it's also obvious that the resurgence of Man Utd will make the match to be a tough one while the blues will capitalize on their top form and consistency to avoid a defeat against their opponent thus either of the team had chances of winning the match or better still may end in a draw.
Yes it would have been better for a draw but I personally am not sure because these two teams are certainly targeting a win, these two coaches are in a very good trend. Although Manchester United is still not very consistent, but in fact Erik ten Hag can provide important wins for Manchester United when playing against Liverpool, Arsenal and also Tottenham.

However, this time they will play against a team that is also in its best form with its new coach and in fact, Chelsea managed to keep clean sheets in their last five matches in all competitions. Therefore, this match becomes difficult to predict but even so, I'm sure there will be a winner between them. Because I'm not sure they will end in a draw because after all, this is a chance for them to be able to fill a place in the top four in the standings. For Chelsea to maintain its position, and for Manchester United to take over the fourth place.
6007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 20, 2022, 02:05:31 PM
@hahay I believe that these two are key factors why PSG player’s are not performing that well: 1) the new coach has failed to unite this egoistic squad, 2) Mbappe status is causing discontent among the squad and the solution is to sell him and reinvest in other player or player’s. Furthermore there’s also talks of Messi leaving which has further distracted the squad, and if PSG wants to achieve success this season then it needs to put an end to Messi’s exit rumours.
This is a very contradictory suggestion due to the fact that Christophe Galtier was able to unite the PSG squad, if you realized beforehand that there was a problem with Mbappe and Neymar where they were arguing about penalty kicks. But this problem was quickly resolved and then even the two players were able to play well by providing beautiful assists for their goals, so I think PSG no longer have problems with their coach. Also about the privileges that Mbappe has is indeed a problem which is a pity because of course it will make this player difficult to control, but that has become part of their risk as well. But for his performance so far I think he is still fine and he is just a young boy who is still unstable and besides that, PSG are basically still okay for competition in Ligue 1 but to compete further in the Champions League I personally still doubt it.

There are many rumors circulating about Messi but for me, PSG can still do well without Messi even though Messi can still make a big contribution to the team. But for me, with his old age PSG should not expect Messi to stay longer because sooner or later his performance will also decline and may be prone to injury. Therefore, if they still have the ability to extend Messi's contract then they shouldn't have to worry. Because what they should prioritize is to find a replacement early on, because after all rejuvenation in the squad is more important and they can't expect older players to stay any longer.

So far Manchester United can beat top teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and then Tottenham and Manchester United only have to beat one other top team that is Chelsea which will take place this weekend and Manchester United will play away. But even so, Manchester United still can't beat Manchester City and are still unlucky against mediocre teams because sometimes Manchester United get defeats as well as draws.

Also, at least Erik ten Hag has proven that he has managed to restore Manchester United's form so far and of course they still need time. Because to be stronger and stay in the top four is not easy but yes, with a result like this, Manchester United have hope to finish in the top four and again have hope to be able to play in the Champions League next season.

But I can't wait for the next match, whether Manchester United will really continue this good trend to keep winning against top teams. Because we know that Chelsea under Graham Potter are also slowly regaining their best form, with both in this growing condition it will certainly be difficult to predict the Chelsea v Manchester United match on matchday 13 this weekend.

That Nunez of a guy should be advised, I don't know what he wants to achieve and how he will achieve it. Someone should tell him that Mo Salah is the king and there will not be two Kings in the pitch. Mane understood this and was playing for Salah and will score when it's his time. If hero Mane could do it, why won't Nunez do so. Nunez should understand his position and ability, he should remove compiting with Haaland from his mind.
That's what I don't like about Nunez, he's quite aggressive because his goal collection doesn't quite match his sales expectations. To be honest, seeing Nunez playing all Liverpool lines looks chaotic, he is hungry for goals but his abilities don't support it. He needs self-control and play for the team, not ambition that forgets Moh Salah as the most suitable executioner. Therefore, the position of Mane that he left was not really what Nunez could have.
It is a pity indeed, at least these emotions are also formed because the media raised his name to be able to compete with Haaland, while Liverpool's gameplay is not the same as Manchester City which has creative midfielders like De Bruyne. This makes the support for a single striker better when getting support from midfield, while at Liverpool all of the lines have to keep moving and working hard which is certainly not easy for one player to become a finisher.

Lucky enough to only bet with the draw no bet option for Betis, but if I followed my ego then of course I would still choose Betis to win at 2.xx odds. But because I felt there was something I couldn't understand Betis against a team in the relegation zone still getting odds around 2.xx, so I decided to only choose the draw no bet option, because for me it was quite unfortunate to miss this match without betting. But indeed, in La Liga Betis is only good when playing at home and it is very different when Betis play in the Europa League which still gets good results when playing away.

There's no doubting your belief in choosing a draw, it's true what you say that it's impossible, at least you have a point of view that people might not think, that Elche are playing at home will definitely play hard with this important match, even though Madrid are in very good form, but I don't think this is an important match for Madrid, because we know that Madrid are focused on the next match in the UEFA Champions League, and for sure Madrid will field a second tier player, to face Elche.
Real Madrid are still focused in all the competitions they play in, securing full points is a step to keep the points tally from Barcelona. Three goals were disallowed in this match, respectively in the 6th, 26th and 61st minutes, whereas if two goals from Benzema were not disallowed, then in that match Benzema had a hat-trick.
Real Madrid's line-up is also filled with core players, there are not many rotations made by Ancelotti, this is a sign that they are still very serious about playing with anyone to collect points.
The three-point victory this time, further widens the points gap with Barcelona, at least they can focus on facing the Champions League and against Sevilla next week.
Lol, I didn't expect anyone to think that this match was not important for Real Madrid, even though with the competition in the standings, of course Real Madrid are still looking for point by point to make their position more secure and comfortable at the top of the standings. Unless Real Madrid already have a lot of points that are difficult for the teams below to catch up, but that often happens only towards the end of the season. But if it's still at the beginning of the season that hasn't even entered the half of the season, then of course all matches will be important matches for all teams to continue to collect points and to make their position safer in the standings.

Juventus should beat Empoli easily, and this game will decide so many things for the fans and also the management. If they somehow still lose to Empoli, then it’s going to be obvious that they need some changes. I get it, there are some players missing, and I know that the players are tired, and there are too many new players that need to adjust to both team, the nation, the culture, and the tactic they are playing.

But, even with all of that, they should be better than Empoli hands down, and with so many bad results in a row, they cannot just say it’s just one game, this is a game they need 3 points from. I am going to bet on them, but if they lose, I hope they sack the manager.
At this moment it doesn't seem right to expect Juventus to win easily, because even Juventus lost by Monza which basically should have been an easy win for Juventus. Also, Empoli is not an opponent to be underestimated and not only at this moment, because Empoli is indeed a team that competes more often in the middle of the standings which means they are not a weak team at all.

Therefore, it is still not easy for Juventus to be able to win this match and also, their point difference now is five points which of course Empoli will not be easy to beat because Empoli will also of course work hard to make the points gap even closer.
Roma - Napoli is a match that catches the eye. I also don't see Inter Milan winning so easily at Fiorentina. Inter is not in shape and in principle can easily lose to this kind of opponents if things are a bit against. But Napoli has struck a gap with Inter and Juventus. It never ceases to amaze me that the bookmakers still have so much faith in Inter Milan despite the fairly large backlog. Confidence in Juventus is considerably less, while in terms of points it is not even that much difference. The biggest damage for Juventus is of course also the elimination from the Champions League. A few years ago, it was unthinkable that Juventus would not win the league.
Roma and Napoli are a very big force because it was proven in the previous matches that both managed to draw and maintain their position but for this match I believe both will win and Napoli must try hard to maintain their best position in the top position.
Head to head last season can not be used as a benchmark, because their performance this season has changed. It's clear that Napoli have been better this season and therefore, it would be inappropriate for their draw in last season's match to be used as a reference for the final result in this season's match. Roma themselves so far this season have lost once when playing at home, and Roma lost by Atalanta who are currently in second place in the standings.

Well, on matchday 11 Roma will be against the team that is in the top place in the standings, of course, it will be a difficult match for Roma because when they played against the team that was in second place in the standings, Roma couldn't score and ended up losing.

Regarding the Fiorentina v Inter match, I personally still believe that Inter have a chance to win, but if it is difficult to win at least Inter will not lose on matchday 11 against Fiorentina. Because Fiorentina itself so far this season has not been so good when playing at home and because of that, Fiorentina still has weaknesses that Inter will certainly be able to take advantage of because playing at home can't guarantee Fiorentina will be stronger.

Manchester united vs Tottenham match is today, and Tottenham are very ready to demonstrate their new skills to beat Manchester united 4-1. Since Manchester united are still facing the challenge of strikers in this season, it will be difficult for their strikers to score goals from this match like the way they scored goals that gave them victory in their last match. I don't think, Manchester united coach will use cristiano Ronaldo to play first half in this match, because cristiano Ronaldo find it difficult to achieve a single goal from their last match despite the opportunity given to him in the first half.
I hope manchester united can be equal with totentham or even beating that club just like when it was beating arsenal. Just because totenham was at the top standing of EPL and you were underestimating manchester united. It can give you a surprise to beat totenham in this match. This is a very interesting match for us. There's no need to make goal as long as MU can win against it


If Manchester United wins at Tottenham, they will have three points and tight legs with Chelsea. However, they will still be behind because, based on the current situation, Chelsea has a goal difference of +5 while Manchester United has -2, meaning they need more goals to be far ahead of Chelsea. However, if they can win more games, it will be good for them. What I now fear most is that even if Manchester United defeats Tottenham tonight and earns a total of 19 points, their next game will be another London Derby, which, as you well know, is usually exciting and won't be simple for either team.
It doesn't seem like it's about underestimating the team that is under Tottenham, because if we consider the record so far then of course we will get a record about Tottenham at this moment that is indeed better than Manchester United. Well, it's just a note on paper which of course the end result can be very different or still in a circle as predicted. Whatever the result can still happen, because Erik ten Hag can make Manchester United can play strong against a top team. So yes, no one knows for sure with the final result, but what is clear is that this match will still be interesting because both teams have the opportunity to get full points.

Apart from that match, I'm still really looking forward to the match between Brentford v Chelsea, to be honest I really can't underestimate Brentford at this moment but at the same time I'm also starting to like the way Graham Potter coaches. Chelsea are very lucky because they always get the right new coach who can deliver good results in a short period of time. With the good results that Graham Potter has made, of course Chelsea will be favorites to win in this match, but I am still very concerned about Brentford who could surprise with an unexpected victory.

Sevilla FC vs Valencia FC, there were many highlights in this match. 10 yellow cards, 1 red card, 10 player substitutions, 14 minutes of overtime and in minute 102 a penalty for Valencia that José Luis Gaya Pena missed. There were some very famous names playing yesterday: Cavani (scored a goal), Rakitic, Isco, Kluivert, Lamela (scored a goal) and a few others. Valencia now in 8th place and Sevilla in 11th place in La Liga. The game has more highlights than the el classico. Yesterday was the matchday of draw in Spain, 3 games = 3x draw.

It was a very active and somewhat tough match. In general, we can say that the tension of the game was high. We saw a lot of yellow cards, the last minute red card was very critical. There was no winner of the match due to the Valencia player missing a penalty.
Of course, it was not easy to take a penalty after such a tiring match, but Gaya missed a huge opportunity and could not get Valencia to win
It was a very tough match, moreover Sevilla is still recovering and this result is still good for them. Considering their situation this season has not been good, but if Sevilla are at their best then I'm sure Sevilla will win the match without the drama of so many yellow cards like that. The presence of several famous players does not guarantee that the team will win because even big teams with many famous players are also sometimes difficult to win, moreover Sevilla and Valencia only have a few famous players and all of them are old.
While Real Madrid has the advantage in this match, Elche is not a balanced opponent for Real Madrid, from the nine matches that Elche has played, none of them has won.
While Real Madrid are in high confidence, last week's El Clasico result further motivated them to secure the three points, considering traveling to Elche is not a difficult game for them now.
Obviously the comparison is too stark for them because one is at the top of the standings and the other is at the bottom of the standings.
This can clearly be said to be a fairly easy match for Madrid, especially considering Elche's current performance is actually still far from good.
Currently Madrid Odds 1.34 but indeed seeing the opponent is Elche these odds are actually still quite normal.
Real Madrid can indeed guarantee victory in this match because after all, this is the right moment for Real Madrid to continue to get full points to be able to make its position more comfortable at the top of the standings. Having a gap of only three points from Barcelona at this time will still not make Real Madrid comfortable but yes, Real Madrid will still have a chance to be able to maintain its top position. But at least, if they have a wider points gap then that will make it better and when they get a schedule with difficult opponents in the Champions League and also in La Liga, then they can rotate players even better.

Both Roma and Lazio have to work hard because other clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus and Udinese won't let them get the fourth position easily. That one means a ticket to play in Champions League that in turn brings more income for the club.

Serie A has been very competitive this season. Many teams are fighting for the title. And the performance of the teams is very good. Interestingly, Inter Milan and Juventus are seventh and eighth in the points table. Juventus and Inter will certainly continue to fight to qualify for the Champions League. And so we are not sure how long teams like Roma and Lazio can keep their position unchanged in the points table. But their performance is now very stable. If they can maintain such consistency, they will be able to keep their position unchanged in the points table.
I see AS Roma is not as stable as you said. AS Roma often play below expectations even though they can win the match. This is a problem in my opinion even though they can win but their potential to be defeated is very big if they play like this. Maybe Jose Mourinho should bring in a few more players to create stability in their game. Because I see now AS Roma players have not been able to play at their highest level.
Yes indeed, although Roma look better so far but basically they are still vulnerable to being beaten by rival teams and also mediocre teams. But even so, I will probably admit that Roma this season is indeed better than Juventus and Inter because Roma got a draw against Juventus, and won away against Inter.

It was a progress made by Roma but unfortunately, when Roma played against a team that was at their best Roma lost very unexpectedly like losing by Udinese with a score of 4-0 and losing by Atalanta with a score of 1-0. Therefore, Roma do look better so far but Roma still can't be consistent, and against Napoli on matchday 11 later it will certainly be a testament to whether Roma will still be beaten by a team that is at their best or maybe can hold it with a draw result.

Crystal Palace and Wolves had a very good fight last night. I didn't know that there's midweek matches in English Premier league bot until I tuned in for news and saw the match ongoing. The two teams played very well but Crystal Palace won the match by 2 goals to 1. Despite that Wolves lost the match, I must say that their team has improved more than they started this season and there are good number of good players in the team, the likes of Adama, Costa etc
Overall improvement was 100%, especially after halftime. In another match-winning performance, Wilfried Zaha gives Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory over Wolves as the Eagles come from behind once again. During the second half, Wolves made poor substitutions, and the choice of subs was terrible. As a result of Wolves' poor start to the second half, Davis believes they lost to Crystal Palace. Other than that, Wolves had their best look for some time.
It's a shame Wolves couldn't hold on to the win, if they didn't have a plan to score an extra goal in the second half then Wolves should have played more defensively. It doesn't matter if they can play defensively, because if they are able to keep playing disciplined to be able to close the attack on Crystal Palace then of course they will be able to maintain the 1-0 win they had in the first half. Although previously I also believed that Crystal Palace could win, but seeing Wolves can win in the first half it is a very unfortunate result because Wolves this season have not looked in good form.
Manchester United - Tottenham is definitely the most attracting match of the day.

First of all if we are to mention the missing players, Emerson Royal isn't playing due to red card. Richarlison is also absent due to injury but Kulusevski might be able to play this time as his condition is questionable now. Kulusevski's return would add an extra power to Tottenham attacking line for sure. He was one of the crucial contributors before his injury. I can't imagine how great work Kulusevski, Son and Kane would do in this case. As a result I believe that Tottenham are one step ahead as for attacking. Manchester United's priority must be defense despite playing home. This worked against some other big teams in this season before so I guess ten Hag will try the same formula here also.

But as for my prediction on this matchup, I don't expect Tottenham to lose here. Double chance might be a good option and I'm considering both teams to score also. Maybe the scenario could be like this: Manchester United score first then Tottenham answer and it ends in a 1-1 draw.
Yes, although there are several Tottenham players injured but I still believe that Tottenham will still play well. Because basically Tottenham's attack is still in its best form so far but unfortunately, I see these two teams have defenses that sometimes make blunders. So yeah, for the final result I'm personally not sure if it only has like two goals, because with a defense like that at least the home or away team will be able to have at least two goals or more but still with the option of both teams to score.

In fact, the possibilities of PSG are already starting to raise questions for me - I don’t see them as a reliable consistently strong game against strong opponents (weak ones can be ignored). In the Champions League, they failed to beat Benfica twice in a row. If it was a separate match, then I would not pay attention, but twice in a row this is already a signal of problems. It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.
Regarding the result in the Champions League against Benfica, it made me curious as well, whether it was purely because Benfica were indeed in their best form or there was something that maybe they planned to keep getting points so that Juventus no longer had a chance to overtake them. But apart from these suspicions, I also agree that it is indeed difficult for PSG to continue to get maximum results in every match, because winning by only one goal difference with the squad they have, for me it is not a maximum result.
In part, I really like this, because if PSG is in trouble to win, that does not mean that the team is making a mistake, it means for me that the level of football of the other teams in the French league is increasing, that although PSG It has many stars like Mbappé, Messi, Neymar, among others, they are not so comfortable, that means that things are going well in world football, for me it is a great success, this match between Marseille and PSG was not won. for a great result, they won it because it really cost them, but if Marseille hadn't been so bad, things would have been different, that's what comes to my mind the most.
But for me it is not, because if other teams in Ligue 1 improve to make it difficult for PSG to win or only make PSG able to win by a narrow score. Then PSG will be increasingly tested and of course have a good impact for them to compete even stronger in the Champions League, but in reality this is not the case. Because PSG in the Champions League doesn't seem to have had a big development to get stronger and that means they are still at the same level, or maybe they tend to decline a bit because over time they need more effort than usual just to score one goal.
Marseille put up a fight against PSG, but they made some silly errors that cost them the game. It's quite sad how Alexis tried so hard to do everything to help the team win the game; he was everywhere on the field.

Alexis was fantastic, but luck ran out of him. Marseille has demonstrated that they are prepared to win a trophy this year.
Alexis Sanchez is indeed a hard-working player and I really liked it when Alexis Sanchez played at Barcelona, and until now he is not young anymore Alexis Sanchez can still play with very good movements. But yes, a team win cannot be done with just one player and also, basically it is not easy for Marseille to beat PSG. What's more, PSG's team development makes it difficult for Marseille to beat PSG from time to time. Therefore, Marseille is still not strong enough to win the trophy because even, to stay in the top three Marseille really needs a bigger effort and it is not easy for them.

Who will Xavi include in the squad as a replacement for Sergio Busquets? Barcelona does not have experienced midfielders. Busquets is an experienced player. But he is not playing well now. The bonding of forward's players with midfield is not good. Barcelona's performance is not as good as expected due to weak bonding. Barcelona has several weaknesses in their squad. But I think the main reason for the attack's weakness is that they are not getting enough support from the midfielders. Barcelona's overall gameplay will be stronger and stronger if the performances of the midfield and defense players improve.
Is Sergio Busquets an experienced midfielder, most definitely! but is Busquets obsolete and no longer essential, literally the freaking truth! He shouldn't be out there starting every game, he should be dropped, I'd rather have a Gavi, Pedri, Kessie or De Jong, both De Jong and Kessie can play as a CDM, or even Gavi who has been very energetic and got great passing accuracy and covers most distance on the pitch than most of other Barcelona players in most of the recent games.
Sergio Busquets.? His time with Barcelona is over. He is not reliable anymore, his age which has passed the golden age as a football player has made him experience many declines in his appearance.
Xavi still has many more energetic and reliable players in the midfield. I don't think he will stay at Barcelona much longer, the conditions that Sergio Busquets are in are the same as Gerard Pique.

I would say Sergio Busquets and Pique shouldn't be in Barcelona right now. These two players are a threat to Barcelona's squad at the moment. They are not playing well and often make bad mistakes, resulting in Barcelona conceding goals. Barcelona now have talented and reliable players in Sergio Busquets and Pique. And so we probably won't see these two players in Barcelona's squad anytime soon.
Yes indeed, it's time for them to be removed from the Barcelona main squad but for some reason they still feel like they are needed, even though players for other lines have been rejuvenated. So yes, the rejuvenation should be done completely to make the team fresher and more energetic, and the team that managed to do the overall rejuvenation is Arsenal. Barcelona still looks very dependent on senior players, even though it is no longer important if they can't really contribute to the team. The defeat of Real Madrid was enough for Barcelona to be difficult to regain the top position, because their squad is still not perfect in several lines which of course will have an unfavorable impact on their performance.

Apart from that, by the way, did anyone bet in last night's match about Sevilla, Bilbao and Atletico all getting draws. To be honest it might be a pretty surprising final result, because on paper at least Bilbao and Atletico have a chance to win because the opponents are not a strong team this season. I wonder if today's match will be like that too because again and again, today's match looks like it will be a win for Betis and Real Madrid because the opponent is a team that is at the bottom of the standings.

Next time the lead might change hands in the standings. Because there are matches like Roma - Napoli and Atalanta - Lazio. In case Atalanta win and Napoli lose, the new leader would be Atalanta. However it is really not easy to see this. Even though Roma are in a pretty impressive shape and they are playing home, Napoli are still a huge threat to them with their form. You must be remembering the Milan - Napoli match which Napoli defeated their opponent. Maybe they can do the same to Roma also unless Roma become very careful.

It isn't easy for Atalanta to win either. Lazio are one of the strongest teams of the recent weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends in a draw.
Napoli and Atalanta still have a chance to continue their good trend in this match, even though their opponents are top teams but I am sure Napoli and Atalanta will not lose. Even though for example they can't win, but at least they can still end the match with a draw at least that's better than not getting any points at all. So yes, I still believe that even though Napoli are playing away, they are still on fire which is certainly not easy for Roma to beat Napoli. Regarding Lazio, I think even though they are in 5th place at the moment, they are still not consistent enough. Because Lazio also have to focus on the Europa League which is still not safe, for sure it will be a good opportunity for Atalanta because Atalanta will also play at home and Atalanta will only focus on Serie A this season.
Juventus will not fight for the title of Serie A. They are already far behind. It is not possible for them to win the title now. They are 10 points behind Napoli at the top of the table. So Juventus' only goal now is to qualify for the Champions League. It is also very difficult for them. Because Juventus is 6 points behind Roma in the fourth place in the table. However, if Juventus can recover their form then they have some chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Even though there is a saying that "in football, anything can happen", but if I consider what happened to Juventus, it seems they have lost their chance to get back on the title track. In fact, to be able to finish in the top four I also began to doubt it a little, because at the same time the teams above him are now in better form. So, if Juventus want to overtake them quickly then Juventus must be better than them in a short time as well. This is certainly not easy because even some of their main players have also suffered injuries, and even if these players recover at least they will still need time to get back to their best.

Manchester United - Tottenham will be a really interesting match to follow tomorrow. Because even though there is a 7-point difference between these teams in the standings, this is still a match that is open for any kind of a result.

Tottenham will undoubtedly win tomorrow's game if the outcome were to be judged based on how both sides have performed thus far this season. This match will be intriguing to watch in light of the teams' past games and how fiercely competitive each squad is. With Tottenham, Manchester United has drawn one, lost one, and won three of their previous five head-to-head matches. The match would not be an easy one for either club to win against the other given this analysis and Tottenham's current form.
Yes, any result is still very possible for both teams because even though Manchester United's record so far has only won two of the four home matches that have been played, Manchester United still has the opportunity to perform better in this match. Because in the previous match also Manchester United only got a 0-0 draw against Newcastle, but this result can not fully be a benchmark they will get the same result in the match against Tottenham today.

But, considering that Tottenham have so far this season been a team that is competing strongly in the competition in the top three, then of course Tottenham are in a situation that requires them to play even stronger. But unfortunately, Tottenham when playing away is also not as good as when playing at home. So yes, even though these two teams have quite a gap in the standings, the team in the top position does not guarantee to win either. Vice versa, the team whose position is below it is still not easy to beat because of course, they will try hard to get full points. So, betting on the total goals option and or both teams to score may be a good choice, because both are ambitious to win in order to keep their position in the standings.

It seems that since Real Madrid was coached by Ancelotti, I think Real Madrid don't prioritize ball possession and they only prioritize the final result. No matter how high they play defensively to get a quick counter-attack, then they will. They also did this strategy in the Champions League last season to the final match, which in fact Real Madrid lost in statistics but they got a win at the end of the match. Until now they still apply that style of play, and it still works very well.
Ancelotti is a coach who gives freedom to his players. He is creative too and he enlightens career of Andrea Pirlo in AC Milan. Without Ancelotti, it's hard to imagine how Pirlo's career would be because he failed previously in Inter Milan.

This style of Ancelotti makes people think he is not a top-notch coach but in fact he is. He gets good support from his players and has very good relationship with his players. He allows them to play and adjust themselves in each match. He does not bind with any single idea or tactic, that is Ancelotti. And it's clearly as you discussed, ball possession is not the one that obsesses Ancelotti a lot. He cares more about results just like a traditional Italian coach.
But if that's Ancelotti's style of coaching then it looks like it will only work well with top players and teams, as Ancelotti had previously failed to produce good results at Everton. Because if Ancelotti's way of coaching remained the same as when he coached Everton, then Everton should have gotten a significant performance boost but that didn't happen to Everton. But apart from that, Real Madrid's gameplay even though they look like they only maximize the chance of a counter-attack, but Real Madrid doesn't look as if they are only focused on defending and they are indeed strong in midfield.
After beat Bilbao last weekend Atletico Madrid is really in the good shape because finally they were successfully taking over 3rd position from Bilbao and today against Rayo obviously they will used this match to get 3 points and they have ability to do that because on the paper Atletico very much better than Rayo and so far after defeated by Madrid on last month Atletico was never lose again at La Liga even they can able to get 3 wins from 3 matches so this proven they had successfully improved their performance and for today match Atletico win seems good choice and the odds for them is @1.59
But so far this season Atletico have been better when play away, even Atletico from five away matches are still unbeaten. It's different when Atletico play at home, from the four home matches Atletico have so far only won two and lost two. This record is a consideration for me which of course has to be wary of but indeed, Rayo Vallecano is not very good when playing away which is certainly a good opportunity for Atletico to increase their win ratio for home matches.

This league was always dominated by the Feyenoord and Lazio all the time.Lazio loss against the Midtjylland was not an expected one.Most of the team members thought Lazio will be the hero of the match.But Feyenoord also not able to make some good change against the Midtjylland.So it proved both the team was defend at the same level and the game of both team with same level.If this two grand masters made a game,they will draw the match with 2-2 for sure.



This league will become much more interesting than it already is as big teams will come soon here from the Champions League,every third team in the group stages of Champions League will come here and especially a great entry would be Barcelona.Lazio is a great team for the Europa League as they are also doing relatively well in the Serie A,then we have Manchester United and Arsenal from the Premier League here together with a couple of Spanish teams so it will become really beautiful this league in the near future.

So saying Feyenoord always dominate here against such teams does not make a lot of sense as there are much more powerful teams here and it will only get tougher.
@swogerino this is about group F but indeed, @usekevin doesn't seem exact because he just said (this League), not specifically linked it or said it about group F. So from what I understand it's not about Feyenoord overall dominating the Europa League, but just about group F. If you know, Feyenoord is the temporary leader of group F and Lazio are even in third place and also, all points in this group F are equal with each team having a total of 5 points so far.

Lazio had a different performance or maybe a different luck, because Lazio look better in Serie A but here in the Europa League they are not lucky enough. Because if I consider the opponents in Group F on paper, of course Lazio is a seeded team, but in fact Lazio still need a bigger effort to win the group because their opponents so far can provide difficult gameplay for Lazio.
