Dortmund won against Bochum but I don't like their gameplay. They won by 3 goals. However, I would say Dortmund's performance this season has been poor compared to last season. Their overall gameplay is slow. With gameplay like that, they won't be able to compete for the title. Even against the big teams, Dortmund will be beaten. The coach should change the match strategy.
I think Dortmund had an easy game today and an easy win too. It also feels good watching these youngsters that are honing their skills in Dortmund. They remind of Lewandowski , Erling Haaland and Youssouffa Moukoko. I believe Dortmund is the grooming ground for young talents. The coach has good tactics that is working for both him and the team. And the team is disciplined enough to follow through. Yes, that's right, with their opponents like that Borussia Dortmund can play more aggressively, but it seems they have lost their identity this season. Bochum is not a tough team, so they deserved this victory. There is no reason for them not to win this match easily against lower-level opponents who are in the red zone. Edin Terzic must be able to improve their form again if they are still to be on track to be able to compete for the title. |

At the end, it was a deserved 2 goal victory for Leicester city who built on the Tielesman long range strike at the stroke of half time and left the merseyside with valuable 3 points. It was a good performance from both teams who are struggling to stay clear of relegation battles
Great performances from both sides, but Leicester City defeated Everton today and deservedly so. They clearly came for a win rather than even settling for a draw based on their possessions and shots on goal. They might be out of the relegation zone by the middle of the season if they can continue performing as they did today. They played great ball and earned their victory. Leicester City were absolutely outstanding in this game and I agree it was a deserved win for them at Goodison Park with the 2 goals they scored. They managed to make 22 attempted kicks and 8 of them were on target and resulted in 2 goals to ensure their victory in this match. I thought Leiceter's defense would be bad, but the opposite happened. Leicester can dampen the game from Everton. |

It looks like Bilbao may underestimate Girona so that Bilbao lost by Girona with a score of 2-1, this will be bad for Bilbao because its position is threatened to be in the middle of the standings. Whereas previously Bilbao was able to beat Villarreal, which Bilbao should have played well also in last night's match against Girona.
<...>
I can't believe that Athletic the Bilbao conceded the match against Girona: they were recovering in the standings against Atlético de Madrid (and others), but this loss against a mediocre team will have consequences later in the league. Congratulations to Girona, btw: it seems that one can't be sure even in predictions like this one. Girona managed to perform well in this match. Playing as the hosts adds to their motivation to win the game and they are totally capable of doing that. 2 goals from David Lopez and Ivan Martin in the 67th and 75th minutes they were able to maintain until the end of the match. Atlético Bilbao were able to build hope when they came back from behind with a goal from Gorka Guruzeka, but Atletico Bilbao couldn't find their second goal to at least equalize. This result brought Girona to get out of the relegation zone. |

In the end, the match went in favour of the giants and they are smiling right now at the top of the table. I am always scared to see Bayern Munich at the top of the table because if they actually get the full key of that table to remain at the top it will be difficult for any other team to overtake them. I am hoping that union-berlin will make it up tomorrow to return to the top of the table
Their position now hinges on the outcome of their rivals Union Berlin who will play against struggling side Leverkusen. If you look at it now, it is very likely that Union Berlin will reclaim the top of the standings from Bayern Munich seeing their opponents who are far from strong. Bayern Munich's return to the top of the table although this can be said to be temporary, but it shows that they are still ready to dominate the Bundesliga and it will not be easy for other teams to snatch that title. |

So many interesting matches in these two days. But for now I'm waiting for Manchester City's match against Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. Even though Manchester City have a chance to win a lot in today's game, but I always prefer to see this team play in the Premier League and one more thing I am looking forward to is the Chelsea vs Arsenal match for tomorrow. As for the others today I see nothing more interesting to look at. Haaland is ready to score again, I hope he picks up exactly where he left off. Keep working on records and hopefully score a goal in 6 homematch in a row, the record is now 8 years old. In 10 minutes the game start with goalgetter Bernardo Silva, Alvarez and Grealish. In the 28th minute, Fulham managed to equalize through the white point. Andreas Pereira who stepped forward as an executor managed to equalize his duties well. Manchester City had to play with 10 men after Joao Cancelo received a red card which led to a penalty for Fulham. The first half left less than 10 minutes and Manchester City had to change their strategy because after losing 1 player. |

Spurs vs Liverpool should also be a great game with first chance going to Spurs in my opinion but also if Liverpool is in great day , they will beat Spurs with 2 goals ahead of them as they are hungry for points and Klopp and the boys won't be satisfied with a draw on Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur haven't record a win against any top club this season. They drawed against Chelsea, lost to manchester united, lost to arsenal and I don't think they will match up liverpool. We all know the reds have lost back to back in their last two games, against Nottingham forest and Leeds. Jurgen Klopp, won't hesitate to lose against Spurs. Anthonio Conte won't accept defeats this time around but most of his key players are injured, especially bhoe frontlines which is giving him hard times to score goals in games. Indeed Tottenham have not been able to win against a top team, but now can Liverpool be called a top team? I don't think so, after what they have achieved up to week 14. Liverpool have repeatedly shown that they are not ready to compete with other teams. The defeat to Nottingham Forest was something that was beyond the head when they had to be beaten by a team that was at the bottom of the table. Now their opponents are tougher of course, and the hosts have just woken up from their 2 defeats. |

It’s no news that Manchester United finishing second in their group will face one of the teams that has dropped out of the Champions League in the play-off round. Manchester United needed to win by a two-goal margin to usurp the first-placed Real Sociedad and progress straight to the round of 16. It just didn’t work out for them because a lot of teams in Europa league were trying to avoid the play offs. Real Sociedad had a plan to win or not concede more than a goal, and it worked out for them.
Manchester united had their winning yesterday against real Sociedad but failed to equal the goal difference among them. It's frustrating to face one of the teams knockout of the group stage in the championship league. Erik ten hag motivating his players to multiple the goals in the second halve, it just couldn't work out because real Sociedad had a formdable defend and all united efforts were consider not good enough. Let's see if united can defeats one of the UEFEA team. Real Sociedad had anticipated this, because they only needed a draw and even when they lost, they didn't lose by more than 1 goal, and that's what they got in this match. Manchester United's efforts to penetrate the defense built by Real Sociedad did not produce the results they wanted, although winning 1 goal was not enough to bring them to shift Real Sociedad at the top of the standings. Even Real Sociedad actually have more chances than Manchester United. |

I don’t know if Graham Potter is taking into consideration the intensity of Arsenal’s attack. Their front 3 have contributed about 26 goals and created a lot of chances in their team this season. In recent games, Potter has been trying to switch to a 3-4-3 formation playing both Sterling and Pulisic as wingbacks. If he decides to go with this against this Arsenal side, he’s going to suffer the defense and they’ll end up conceding alot of goals. He needs to fix up a balance team that can absorb the pressure and momentum Arsenal will bring to the Bridge.
Graham Potter must see the opponent this time as something different from the previous one, because Arsenal are the leader of the standings who already look strong and Chelsea of course already know that so the defense must be really strong even though the attack line must also be better because if Chelsea have difficulty in scoring goals against Arsenal, then it will make Arsenal more free to take advantage of opportunities to get victory at home to Chelsea. Of course this will be another test for Graham Potter to be able to anticipate the Arsenal players who always take advantage of their speed in building attacks. Going back down with 3 parallel defenders can be done as long as the right and left sectors are filled by players who can do their job well. The speed of the Arsenal players must be watched out for by Chelsea because that is how Arsenal usually score goals. |

When it comes to stability, I would prefer to say that Union Berlin is more stable than Leverkusen. Union Berlin is much better prepared even though Leverkusen now have a new coach. Usually with a new coach there will always be disagreements between players and coaches. While Union Berlin has a team that has been formed for a long time (a coach who has been with them for quite a while). It won't be easy for Leverkusen to beat Union Berlin.
Why do you immediately think that the new coach at Leverkusen will make a dispute with the players? Isn't every coach chosen by the team (including Leverkusen) based on the very right decision after moving the old coach for obvious reasons? I don't even think that the new coach at Leverkusen will create a dispute with the players although the new coach has to look at and analyze each player in order to be placed in a more effective position. What I mean by disagreement here is not conflict, but chemistry towards the strategy that the coach wants, there will be a process of understanding from the players. I have no reason to say discord in the sense of conflict. Of course, the change of coach made by Leverkusen to improve their performance and not to create new problems that will harm the team. |

To me, Arsenal's loss to PSV was like a favor or is just to make things look more competitive in there group.
Arsenal don't need to be distracted from previous game against PSV, today's game is a must win and am sure Arteta isn't going to gamble with it.
Am hoping to see the Gunners go all out like they are struggling to qualify without having it in their heads that they've already made it, because this has been the problem with them in previous years. As it is all games are important to them, Sunday game against Chelsea inclusive.
Arsenal need to get to that point where they no longer in cower in fear at the sight of big clubs. It's a win for the Gunners today for me.
Zurich is not an ideal opponent for Arsenal, meaning they should finish this game easily. Zurich is the team with the most goals conceded in this group and it shows that they have the worst defense in group A. I don't think the same result will come back when they face PSV, I'm sure in this match they can create at least 3 goals, considering Zurich's frail defense. |

Union Berlin have waiting for next match, seems difficult how beaten top standing team for Leverkusen with inconsistent performance and bad achievement last several matches before at Bundesliga.
Look hard, but when I look at stat is not far away from leverkusen. Let's see in the last 5 matches, Union has lost 2 times, while Leverkusen is 3 times, but Leverkusen is look more stable after change a new coach, maybe it's not better when compared with another club, but I look they have enough optimistic to bring club far away from degradation zone. This week is time to show the change and make the club to be great again in Bay Arena (the odds win to Leverkusen) When it comes to stability, I would prefer to say that Union Berlin is more stable than Leverkusen. Union Berlin is much better prepared even though Leverkusen now have a new coach. Usually with a new coach there will always be disagreements between players and coaches. While Union Berlin has a team that has been formed for a long time (a coach who has been with them for quite a while). It won't be easy for Leverkusen to beat Union Berlin. |

Well right now there is no disagreeing the fact that Martinez has been absolutely brilliant for Manchester United, i think he has to be their best signing of this past summer transfer window, he has completely cemented his place in the heart of United's defence and also in the hearts of their fans as he is fast becoming a fan favorite.
Having said that, he isn't the only one on the top of his game, Dalot, Eriksen, Rashford, Casemiro and a few other players are absolutely firing for Manchester United, it is safe to say that Erik Ten Hag has improved the squad, they just need to continue in this same way and see how high in the table they'll finish, i think they'll get into the top four, then they could prolly win one of the domestic cups, either the FA cup or Carabao cup, if it happens that way, then we might call Erik's first season a success.
Yes, I see Ten Hag able to make a positive change for the game from Manchester United. Apart from some of the players mentioned who can perform well, the way they hold the ball and create attacks is also organised. They are very calm when holding the ball in defense despite the pressure from the opponent, although there are still minor mistakes, but that they can improve game by game. In attack they build up more from the back and all the players are involved in their attack, which they didn't do last season. |

I read the news from the former French national team player, Bixente Lizarazu.
he says. the source of PSG's problems is the mentality of the players. "To strengthen the defense requires a mentality, a discipline, and they don't have that," said Lizarazu.
Reflecting on the PSG vs Troyes match, if it is true that PSG's defense line is weak. thus, I guess the person who should really be in charge is Galtier as the coach.he must evaluate the weaknesses in PSG's defense, if he does not want to experience the same thing.
I don't think that Galtier should be fully responsible for the weakness of PSG defense, because if we look at defense has become a PSG weakness since last season, I think if you rely on the current defenders of course there are no conditions for Galtier to be can fix it, so I think management PSG should be able to bring in new defenders in the transfer market later for that they can make their defense solid, now we admit that PSG defense is quite fragile but fortunately this weakness can be offset or covered by their current sharp attack line. But how long will they be able to cover their fragile defense with a sharp attack line? They can do this at any time but they won't be able to do that all season, too risky of course. In my opinion, this is clearly Galtier's responsibility as a coach, even though Paris Saint Germain's defense was weak before Galtier came in, but Galtier's appointment as coach means he is ready to take responsibility for all the weaknesses that Paris Saint Germain had before. |

Snip.
It turns out that Real Madrid beat Sevilla in the previous round and in this round gave Girona a point sent Sevilla to the relegation zone  Sevilla have a game with Betis ahead and then there will be 5 games in a row with clear outsiders - I think they will greatly improve their position and most likely double the number of points they have now. I don't think Real Madrid gave Girona a point, Girona was lucky to avoid defeat and managed to secure a point from Real Madrid. In terms of position in the table Gerona is slightly luckier than Sevilla, but in terms of points, Girona and Sevilla both collect 10 points. Sevilla are in a bad situation this season, their performance is far from what was shown in the previous season. I also don't think Sevilla will continue to be in the relegation zone, from the history of the team and the quality of the players they have, Sevilla will definitely be able to improve their position to get out of the relegation zone. Sevilla played badly this season which brought them to the brink of relegation. Last season they managed to finish in the top 4 of the standings, which is what they are showing now. Last season they only experienced 9 defeats until the end of the season, whereas now they have accepted 6 defeats from the 12 matches they have run, something a very sharp decline. This is not the end for them if they want to make good changes, there is still time for them to at least get out of the relegation zone. |

Poor performance has displayed by Lorient yesterday that they were continue their poor results from Nice that playing at home Lorient cannot break the defense of Nice although on the first half Lorient was able to scoring goal but during second half Nice was playing more better than them and the result is really unexpected me because before the match i thought Lorient can beat Nice however during the match Kasper Schmeichel has succesfully to managed his performance with very well even he has blocked several attempts from Lorient players and i think he has deserved as man of the match and next week will be hard match for Lorient because they have to fight against PSG
I must say that Nice played very well in this match. Playing for the visitors did not frighten them in the slightest and continued to provide fierce resistance against Lorient. The result they can turn things around by creating 2 goals to ensure victory. This gives the impression that the teams that are in the top 4 and trying to put pressure on Paris Saint Gemain are not too strong to do that. |

It proves that Bundesliga is dominated by one club which is Bayern Munich, every other club just has the potential to dominated but has not started dominating. Union Berlin is trying their best to remain at the top, but for over a decade Bayern has been dominating. That is why I am honestly supporting Union Berlin to remain at the top of the league till atleast January before we know the next move.
I see most people supporting Union Berlin to stay at the top because they are tired of seeing Bayern Munich always come first for years. I also feel the same way that is bored when I see only Bayern Munich as the main favourite. This season when Union Berlin is above everyone else's hopes are high for them to keep it going, even though we know it's very difficult to do. |

In today's matches, I bet on the victories of the favorites: Arsenal and Manchester United. Arsenal should have no trouble beating the weakest side in the league, Nottingham. Manchester United will face a more difficult task. West Ham is showing better form recently after a poor start to the season, but if the Red Devils play at their good level, they should have no problems to get 3 points.
Manchester united will definitely win this match to improve their points, because their coach will make use of the line up that will favour the team on time by achieving early goals in the first half. I think, cristiano Ronaldo will not be in bench in the first half because he really performed well in their last match that made many fans happy about the last goal he scored in the match to achieved victory. It will be difficult for Manchester united to allow this match end up draw 0-0 because they have what it takes to win their opponent in this match. This match will be a good opportunity for Man United to improve their position in the table because if they can win then they will get 5th place. Man United also has the potential to snatch 4th place from Newcastle, even though they have a difference of 4 points, but Man United has 2 games less than Newcastle. West Ham is not an easy opponent but with the performance and confidence that Man United currently has, I think they will be able to beat West Ham. It will be a tough game for Manchester United to beat West Ham. What I still doubt about Manchester United is that they often appear inconsistent, sometimes good, sometimes vice versa. They can't do that continuously because they will fall behind other teams. West Ham cannot be said to be a weak team because they also often do something extraordinary even though they are currently at the bottom. |

Valencia vs Barcelona In the game between the two teams, Barcelona played well. In this match, neither team could score a goal in the beginning, but a few minutes before the end of the game, Barcelona scored 1 goal. After Valencia did not score a goal, Barcelona won this match very easily. However, We enjoyed a good game between the two teams.
It was not an easy match for Barcelona although in the end Barcelona won by one goal through flagship player Lewandowski who capitalized on a fine pass from Raphinha in stoppage time. So this is not an easy match for Barcelona even though they managed to win narrowly at Valencia and this proves that Barcelona's performance in La Liga this season has begun to look less stable and consistent. A lucky win for Barcelona because they could lock the win in extra time. I think those who watched the game would think that the match would end in a draw, and luck came to Barcelona in the 90+ minute which took them to 3 points and made sure their points difference didn't fall to Real Madrid. Real Madrid itself will have a match today against Girona. |

yes as long as they maintain their winning record of course it is very good to maintain their performance as well and increase their confidence too, I believe Napoli can win the Italian league this season but not in the Champions League, I think Manchester City, PSG and even Real Madrid are balanced opponents with Napoli at the moment and will break Napoli's winning record in this champions league
I'm also not sure about that, because Napoli will meet an unusual opponent in the Champions League, so it will give birth to a better competition for everyone to see because Napoli this season have been really strong and unbeaten in Serie A. So I think that Napoli will look difficult to keep themselves in the Champions League not to lose, because the Champions League has better opponents and is also more different than usual for Napoli. so true. In the Champions League, of course, the teams that Napoli will fight are teams that have a high and strong level of play. then of course it will be different from Serie A. Bayern are also in very good form in the Champions League and also many other very strong teams such as PSG, Madrid and Man City. And if later in the Champions League it turns out that Napoli lost for the first time. so I think it will also affect their performance in Serie A. because sometimes the mentality of the players will be slightly affected after a defeat. I will not be surprised when I see Napoli lose in the Champions League, because as we know the teams that competed there are certainly better than in Serie A. The teams you mentioned are examples of strong teams who sooner or later will face Napoli , to fight for victory. But I hope that if they lose in the Champions League they will not be affected and continue to give their best in Serie A. |

Brighton have taking the lead against Chelsea in just 5 minutes of the game with L Trossard with the quick goal.
With the current force seen in this Brighton Vs Chelsea match, do you think Chelsea will be able to come back and defeat Brighton ?
A lot of Chelsea fans will be disappointed if Chelsea fails to get 3 points in this match because it will definitely affect their position in the League table with Manchester United standing behind them and waiting for them to drop points so they can win and move back to 5th place.
I'm not too surprised by what Brighton did in this match because Brighton were a good team at the start of the season only they failed to maintain their form. Chelsea were not focused in the first 15 minutes so they lost 2 goals that could have been created by Brighton's players. I can only say it is not impossible for Chelsea to turn things around but it is not an easy task for them to do so. |
