Well, hopefully the factor of playing at home has a real impact on Bayern Munich on matchday 33, because if Bayern Munich fails to win in the match against Leipzig then it will ensure Dortmund win the Bundesliga title this season. At least, that is a bad scenario for Bayern Munich, because for a good scenario, of course, Bayern Munich has the chance to remain at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end.
Because there are only two matches left, and playing against Leipzig is a difficult match and moment for Bayern Munich to target three points. Because their rival Dortmund will only play against Augsburg because at least, Dortmund can still be sure to beat Augsburg on matchday 33, in contrast to Bayern Munich who will get quite a difficult opponent.
That's right, the difference in opponents for the two teams feels very contrasting and maybe Bayern Munich is really unlucky when they have to face Leipzig this week to determine their chances of becoming the Bundesliga champion this season. But I also don't see any gaps for Bayern Munich to get a losing result in this match and it looks like they will continue to progress until the decision in the final match later. Dortmund may indeed be the favorite to win the Bundesliga this season considering that the only remaining opponents are weak teams, but they also have to be vigilant and cannot take this match lightly because it could be disastrous if they falter in the match and receive a fatal defeat.

The second leg of the European League semi-final between Sevilla and Juventus will be a very tense battle because the two teams still have a balanced aggregate. However, as the host, Sevilla will certainly be very favored to win and at the same time qualify for the final round. However, I think Juventus will not sit idly by seeing that Sevilla can be free at home and that Allegri's squad will still be eager to win away from home. Considering that the two teams are equally strong, I think the game will return to a draw for 90 minutes and will then proceed to the extra time round until the penalty shoot-out to determine the winner who will advance to the European league final. Even so, I still have a question, can Sevilla excel and win the game in normal time while also destroying Juventus' hopes? we should wait for one of these very exciting matches. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The current odds for both teams today Sevilla @2.36 Draw @2.90 Juventus @3.20 Sevilla a bit favourite in this match probably because of host factor but just like i said before Sevilla were performing well in the first leg and they even almost win the match before Juventus player can scored goal in the second half of extra time so this proven Sevilla even can able to make Juventus get in trouble and the last time Juventus won this competition was in 1993 at that time called UEFA Cup and it would be a great achievement for Allegri if he can bringing Juventus advances to the final match And this actually very interesting match because both teams had different records that Sevilla strong at home and Juventus during knockout stage had impressive records at their opponents home ground but Sevilla at this competition seems had different level because they were very strong and in my opinion this match will not ended with draw but i think Sevilla can able to beat Juventus With odds that big, it's clear that most people will bet on Sevilla's win, but I would prefer to bet the handicap (-0.25) with odds @2.02 for Sevilla's win because just in case the two teams will only draw in normal time 90 minutes at a time. my money will not disappear completely. On the other hand, the two teams have quite unique match records, but indeed, if Sevilla is at home it will be difficult for any team in the European league competition to be able to beat them. I don't expect Juventus to be able to win this match and I prefer Sevilla who will advance to the European league final to be able to add to their trophy collection again.

It was rumored that he would join Barcelona in the summer, but it seems that Arsenal have come as Barcelona's competitors this time to get a contract signature from Gundogan. As we know, Arsenal this season is less impressive even though at the start of the season they were very convincing in being able to win several titles in the EPL and European leagues. It seems that Mikel Arteta really needs Gundogan's services to stabilize his midfield and I think Gundogan's experience with Manchester City will make Arsenal even stronger next season. Now there is competition between the two teams to get Gundogan, who do you think will get Gundogan?
We will love to have Gundogan in the team next season. It is tough to see Xhaka leave the club after a long time and that will really leave a position free in defensive midfielder in the team. There are however reports of Arsenal interested in Declan Rice and Youri Tielemans as well is reported to leave for free in next transfer window. So there are lot of options for Arsenal to sign a player in that position. What we need is a player who is young and has good experience of PL and Gundogan is 32 right now. Although I think it will be good to have him but I am not sure if that's the actual plan for Arsenal right now. Will see about that in June-July when there will be update but right now it seems Gundogan is focused on the remaining games for City. Regardless of the rumors, Gundogan still deserves to be in Manchester City for next season and he is also the team captain that the Manchester City squad really needs. Even though he is already old, he is more mature when he is processing the ball on the field and we can see how he often plays an important role in scoring goals or assisting for Manchester City this season. So I think he should reconsider the offers from the two clubs before actually leaving Manchester City. Regarding Arsenal, there are also incessant rumors associated with Declan Rice and Tielmans, but I think Arsenal prioritize getting Declan Rice over Tielmans.

Based on the odds currently available, at least Newcastle are still the favorite team to win but for some reason, I personally am not so sure that Newcastle will win this home match. But yes, even though I doubt that Newcastle will win, but I still believe that maybe Newcastle will not lose and that way, a draw is still possible in this match.
But yes, if I am backing Newcastle to stay in the top four then I expect Newcastle to win. But since I don't expect anything for Newcastle and also for Brighton, I will only consider in terms of their performance in this moment. Also, because I admit that Brighton might be able to put up a good fight in this match, and that might make Newcastle fail to get three points.
Newcastle will suffer the same fate as Arsenal if they let their guard down, like Brighton did against Arsenal in a 3:0 victory. Even Newcastle's last two matches did not go well, as both finished in draws and Arsenal defeated them. And if you ask me who has better players, I'd say Newcastle, but even in that case, Brighton shouldn't be underrated because that's what these teams are known for doing: underestimating their opponents to their detriment. Also, the outcome of a game cannot always be determined by the odds, for example, Brighton could end up giving Newcastle their biggest shock, yet I am confident that Newcastle will still finish in the top four. Indeed, this is a game that is quite difficult to predict who will come out victorious, especially even though Newcastle has a bigger chance but sometimes Brighton has unexpected miracles. Maybe we will see that these two teams will attack each other from the early minutes because both of them almost have the same style of play. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether Newcastle can win this game or not. But if Newcastle lose the chance to win it will be an additional loss that will impact the standings. For sure Eddie Howie won't let that happen and for Newcastle I hope they are more careful against Brighton, especially their defense don't let their guard down.

I think Inter Milan will struggle to beat Man. City. If we look at the composition of the players, City is much better than Inter Milan. Guardiola also understands how to bring his team to stay calm when his team under pressure. They will almost win the EPL title, so UCL title will complete City's achievements this season, FA Cup title maybe as a bonus. Inter are statistically better than before, but I'm not sure it's enough against City. It's hard to stop Manchester City when they have been so impressive so far. They managed to beat two title contenders this season (Bayern Munich and Real Madrid), so it is clear that Manchester City's chances of win the title seem normal higher. Probability of temporary victory for Manchester City is close to 70% versus Inter's 12%. I agree this probability will change because the final is still quite a long way off, but it doesn't seem like much if it's a fact that Manchester City don't have any problems with players' fitness and form. Right now Manchester City's main focus is to seal the Premier League title, and I think the game against Chelsea this weekend will be the final they will win. With this win rate, there is no doubt that Manchester city will win the Champions League title this season. Pep Guardiola must manage the rotation of his players well until the final against Inter arrives. Even so, Manchester City will still be busy this season in the domestic competition considering that they are only one step away from winning the EPL title and also the FA Cup. Looks like Manchester city doesn't have time to rest they have to stay focused on the remaining matches of this season before they will finally be at the top of the champions league final this season and I hope they are able to win that title without exception.

Sassuolo and Monza will be the opening match this week. Sassuolo will act as the host, but they have had a bad record in their last 5 matches by only being able to win 1 match, while Monza can be better than Sassuolo with no defeat from their last 5 matches. The morality of Sassuolo is not good, so Monza can take advantage of that.
It seems that even though Sassuolo is favored enough to win at home, it seems that this opportunity will be lost considering that Monza is quite a difficult opponent to beat. Contrary to Sassuolo's statistics, in the last 5 matches Monza has had extraordinary results with 3 wins and 2 draws. Obviously the difference between these two teams is quite significant and it looks like this will be a fairly easy win for Monza to secure full points away from home. On the other hand, Monza really has to target an additional 3 points to shift the position of Fiorentina, who currently have the same number of points as Monza. As for Sassuolo, even if they lose in the match later and with their current position they are still very safe to avoid the relegation zone.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad on Saturday will be a tough match, because Real Sociedad will like to showcase some tactics that will make them shake Barcelona for the first half to make the match draw 0-0. No matter how prepared Real Sociedad prepare for this match, Barcelona will definitely use home advantage to embrace victory from this match, because Real Sociedad cannot stop Barcelona strikers not to have access to their goalpost through out the match. I believe, Barcelona will score two goals from this match that will make them to achieve the three points to celebrate.
I even think the other way around, barcelona might not be serious for a match like this because they have already won the La Liga title this season and now maybe this could be an opportunity for Real Sociedad to steal points at home to Barcelona. At the moment Barcelona don't have any targets for the competition now and they are confirmed to be in the champions league next season. On the other hand, maybe this will be a challenge for Real Sociedad to maintain their position in the current standings and of course they will fight it out so that Villarreal cannot catch up on points from Real Sociedad. Even though it's a pretty exciting match but I'm not going to bet on it because there's a lot of speculation that can happen during the match or even the outcome we don't expect, so I'd prefer to watch it at the weekend.

This was a tough match for the two teams and it seems that the odds are enough to make it doubtful for bettors to make their choice in this match. However I also feel it looks like Newcastle will struggle a lot to win against Brighton but if Newcastle do get a draw or lose it will obviously be a loss to maintain where they are now. On the other hand, Brighton's chances of winning in my opinion are still quite big and maybe they will surprise again through this match later. Newcastle must win if they are to appear in the champions league next season and the only barrier for them is the result of this game. I will bet on the result of over 2.5 goals with odds @1.55 because it promises less risk than betting to determine the winner of the match.

I think that whichever from the teams manages to get to the Champions League spots,either Marseille or Lens they both deserve it as in the first part of Ligue 1 Lens was much better than Marseille and at a certain point they even put into question if Paris would have won the Ligue 1 but soon after they start collapsing because of high volatility in their games.It is exactly in this moment that Marseille emerged and is playing really well since then,they are making really entertaining game except the one against Lorient where they could not win and are such games that in the end decide which team will go in those spots in Champions League.
to be honest, I am more impressed with Lens' performance, which is stronger and smarter in possession than Marseille, which has not been able to consistently control the ball when on the field. and on the other hand I am also a little disappointed with PSG's current performance which has decreased without a known cause or because the coach is less productive or PSG players underestimate too many points to not think too much about winning because it has been proven that PSG will still be the best in upcoming season. It's true that Lens is quite reliable this season, it can be seen from the last 10 matches that they have played to get amazing results with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That is a very good achievement for a team that at least wants to appear in the champions league next season and the remaining 3 matches they have I think they will be a dark horse team ready to enliven the highest competition in Europe. Lens must get 9 points from the remaining 3 matches so that their chances of entering the champions league without going through the qualifying route and Marseille may be the only team that will be a barrier to Lens. For PSG, even though it is almost certain that they will win the Ligue 1 title every season as usual, but if they don't get unsatisfactory results then Lens can be quite a serious threat even though the distance is 6 points.

Freiburg and Union Berlin will definitely play internationally next season. The only question now is whether they will play Champignons or Europa League. Freiburg has an opponent in each of the next two games who is also playing for the international places. Wolfsburg and Frankfurt. Union Berlin has a bit easier remaining programme. But they still have to play against Hoffenheim. That will not be an easy game because Hoffenheim is still playing against relegation.
In my opinion, the biggest chance for a UCL spot belongs to Union Berlin, as you said they have a slightly easier opponent than Freiburg. Talking about Union Berlin, previously people thought that they would be able to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. But it's all just wishful thinking. Overall, they have done their best, playing for the UCL next season is also not a bad result, because we know how this small team struggles in the Bundesliga. It really deserves to be appreciated for Union Berlin's struggles this season and they really deserve it if next season they can appear in the champions league. We know very well the struggles of this small team since a few seasons ago by finishing in good places gradually and finally being able to occupy the top 4 positions temporarily. Maybe no one thought that his dominance could get rid of teams like Leverkusen and Gladbach who usually get seasonal rations in the champions league. We are still waiting for their best performance until the season ends and hopefully they don't slip up in the last game which will determine their chances of being able to appear in Europe's highest competition.

Manchester City again proved their strength at home by beating the European king Real Madrid with a landslide score of 4-0 without reply. Manchester city put on an extraordinary game throughout the match, they pressed high and then carried out a possession game so Real Madrid didn't move. In fact, Manchester city continued to confine all Real Madrid players to defense and this resulted in several opportunities which were eventually converted into goals.
Bernardo Silva scored a brace in the first half, then followed by Akanji's goal in the second half and was closed by Julian Alvarez in injury time with his first touch. This was a very embarrassing defeat for Real Madrid, it was clear that with such high tension, Kroos and Modric could not keep up with the games from the Manchester City midfielders. Congratulations to manchester city, they really deserve to be in the final and I hope they can win the champions league title for the first time against Inter in Istanbul in June.

Milan must be able to win the 3 remaining matches of the championship to be able to participate in the cups next year
Maybe Milan can only win two of the three matches considering that they will also be playing Juventus and with their current form it is likely that they will not win either. However, going to the champions league seems to be a little difficult considering that several of the teams above are experiencing very significant performance and that makes Milan not the favorite to advance to the champions league zone. But if for the European league places it is much more open because they are only competing with Roma and Atalanta, what is clear is that it will be tough competition for all of them.

Maybe many people are quite disappointed with Ancelotti's decision to leave Rudiger and prefer Militao to be in the line up, but I think this happened for a reason. Of course we know very well how the first leg went last week and indeed Haaland couldn't move after being tightly guarded by Rudiger, but it seems Ancelotti has another strategy by installing Militao so that Pep Guardiola can't read his strategy. On the right wing, there was speculation that Rodrygo would appear as a supersub in the second half but Ancelotti again denied this speculation by bringing on Rodrygo from the early minutes. We will be presented with an interesting match today, the two coaches will compete with each other to determine a place in the Champions League final this season.

With the latest news regarding Liverpool confirming several of their players will be leaving the club in the summer as free agents, it is clear that Jurgen Klopp is looking to build a new team for the start of next season. Some of these players are Roberto Firminho, Naby Keita, James Milner, and also Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. In my opinion, some of the players above have contributed a lot to Liverpool over the seasons and maybe Firminho, who was rumored to be joining Real Madrid, could possibly happen later. But when I saw the comments column from Fabrizio Romano there he wrote a message that Milner will be joining Brighton soon in the transfer market and it seems that Brighton are lucky enough to get experienced players to motivate their young players.

In my opinion, on the contrary, Leipzig's place is still not safe for next season's champions league because Leipzig will play Bayern Munich this week and their chances of winning are not even there. So I think Leipzig will only be able to get an additional 3 points against Schalke later and if Union Berlin or Freiburg each get 6 additional points in the remaining matches then Leipzig will drop to 5th place in the standings. But indeed the result is still too complicated for some of these teams and all possibilities can still happen. I think Leipzig's main focus is now only on the game against Schalke and if they can win that game then it's pretty clear they will appear in the champions league.
Why you think that Leipzig has no chances to win against the coming game against Bayern Munich ? There is for sure the chance that they can win that , specially against Munich and the current situation , with a win there that they can help Dortmunds chance bigger for the title are enough motivation for them. And if the only playing a draw that would be good. Yes, on a head to head basis, of course, Bayern Munich is always ahead with a win, but indeed there are often draws in the matches of these two teams. Maybe it would be more accurate for me to say that there is not no chance, but there are indeed very slim chances for Leipzig to win against Bayern Munich. But if these two teams end in a draw, of course it will be a very good result for Leipzig because it is certain that they will secure the top 4 places, but I only think about some doubts regarding the result later. On the other hand, Bayern Munich will indeed be at a disadvantage if they lose to Leipzig because Dortmund will close this season with the Bundesliga title. Well, let's just take a look at the match this week, for sure there will be unexpected surprises for most people.

Toulouse, Ajaccio and Auxerre are the clubs that have been promoted this season, and for now the position of Ajaccio has ensured that they will not stay in Ligue 1. For Auxerre they are still struggling to be able to maintain their current position because they are now in front by only having a difference 1 point only. Team Meanwhile, Toulouse is a club that has managed to defend itself in order to remain in Ligue 1 next season. It's quite difficult when promotion clubs have to compete with clubs that were already in Ligue 1. And I'm quite sorry when they only last for 1 season, because it proves they can't compete with clubs that are already in Ligue 1. But on the other hand, Toulouse, even though they are not completely perfect and still have to compete in the lower leagues, they can still maintain their position in Ligue 1.
who didn't qualify for next season I think it's Ajaccio who has been very poor in form without improving to something as impressive as Toulouse has been consistently and eager to get out of the bottom zone to continue to be able to continue in the league next season. on the other hand, there are a number of teams that really have no hope at all, namely Angers, which looks so bad, there are almost no bright spots at all. and as for Auxerre I think there is still little chance of moving up to the next ranking as long as in the rest of these matches he can consistently take points from beating his opponent in the matches to come. It looks like Auxerre will have to accept the fact that they will be one of the teams relegated this season. Maybe it's not without reason that they will experience this considering the list of teams they will face are several strong teams such as PSG and Lens. We know that the closest competitor for Auxerre at the moment is only Nantes, which has only 1 point away and it's not difficult for Nantes to shift Auxerre. For this week's game Auxerre will host PSG at home and it looks like their chances of winning are not there at all, but if they are able to take advantage of the situation well then at least they have to secure a draw from PSG.

I thought Milan would come back in the second leg, but it seemed they couldn't do anything during those 90 minutes of normal time. Inter again beat Milan with a narrow score of 1-0 which made the overall aggregate total 3-0, of course this is a good result from Inter after this season they have always been able to beat Milan in all competitions including in Serie A and also the Italian supercopa. Now Inter are just waiting for their next opponent in the final, whether it's Manchester City or Real Madrid, of course they will always be ready with all possibilities to face one of Europe's strong teams.

new day, new rumours... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) moroccan international and psg fullback Achraf Hakimi is being linked with a return to real madrid and arsenal london is being linked to two more players. Xavi Simons (psv eindhoven) and Joćo Cancelo (currently on loan from manchester city to bayern) are expected to wear the jersey of 'the gunners' next season ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FFwVOtuNXsAE_ykM%3Fformat%3Djpg%26name%3Dsmall&t=665&c=p6iVMY7vp8fctQ) For Hakimi I'm not too surprised considering maybe he's not feeling comfortable at PSG because he's lost a lot since joining the Parisian team and it looks like if he returns to Real Madrid it will be a good destination because Dani Carvajal is finished remembering he is also not young anymore and Hakimi is very suitable to replace his position at Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Arsenal may still need new player options after this season they failed to win the EPL title in their remaining matches and maybe that is also what made Mikel Arteta choose to get power from several talented players. I think Simons and Cancelo are also quite suitable for Arsenal's style of play, which always uses fast short passes.
