Ancelotti must change his strategy when facing Las Palmas next week, to reduce the risk as in the previous match against Almeria, we know Madrid finally got lucky after Carvajal scored a goal in the last minute. I think if happens again that they worry too much about dropping points, because last minute luck is not always on their side. The competition for the top of the standings is the background why Los Blancos must perform optimally when facing Las Palmas, because Girona has so far shown no signs of declining performance and will continue to put pressure on Madrid.

In the first half of the season, Madrid managed to beat Las Palmas with a score of 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, yes the next match will be held at Las Pal Mas home ground, I predict this will not have a big influence on the mentality of Ancelotti fleet. On paper there is no doubt at all about Madrid, and betting on them winning seems like a very safe thing to do. In fact, I think even though the match will be fierce, Las Palmas will not be able to surprise us by beating Madrid.

I think the tight match schedule will be the biggest challenge for Inter Milan in the future, apart from the pressure that will continue to be put by Juventus in the race for the Scudetto. Other concerns may include player injuries, otherwise I don't think Inter will be shaken by any situation or threat. Juventus is certainly freer because they only focus totally on domestic competitions, but I think they are also not free from a number of challenges too. I think that in the future Inter will be fine, and will most likely return to the top of the standings when they have finished their postponed match against Atalanta.

I see the best opportunity available for Juventus is in the Coppa Italia, if they are able to beat Lazio in the semi finals, then they will face Fiorentina or Atalanta in the Final. On paper, Juventus can do it, and the competition is easier than winning the Scudetto in Serie A. However, if they fail in the Coppa Italia and also fail in Serie A, then Juventus will end the season without any trophies. Another scenario is that if Inter are eliminated early in the UCL, they will shift their focus completely to domestic competitions, and I predict they will be very tough for any team in the future.

Liverpool are very favorites to win the trophy in the Carabao Cup, therefore I have no doubts at all about beating Fulham today. In fact, Liverpool is also the most serious title challenger in two other competitions, namely the Premier League and the European League. Klopp opportunity to present three trophies this season is very big, because so far Klopp has been able to make the Reds appear stable and consistent. On the other hand, Fulham needs a miracle to be able to make a comeback and beat Liverpool, but we also cannot close our eyes to the possibility of such a surprise happening.

Apart from that, even though Fulham act as hosts, I think Liverpool will be able to increase their number of goals. Even though Liverpool position is very safe with their superior number of goals in the first leg, Klopp still views this match as very risky if they don't respond with the best lineup. For now we can see the starting XI of both teams, Klopp can be seen playing Diaz, Nunez and Gakpo on the front lines. I think the Reds will win the game and our predictions will be correct.

Beating Leverkusen still sounds reasonable, because we understand how dominant Bayern Munchen is in the Bundesliga. That is one of the best hopes for Bayern to cut the point difference if they want to become champions again at the end of the season, the meeting between the two teams will take place in week 21. In a few moments we will see Bayern play a postponed match against Union Berlin, of course Tuchel fleet deserves to be at the top, even though we know previously they posted disappointing results. However, if you lose points again it will be a disaster in the future, of course Tuchel will face even heavier pressure.

On the other hand, Leverkusen, with all its attributes and luck, of course will not hand over their unbeaten record to Beyern. If Bremen is able to beat Bayern, Xabi and his fleet should also have the same opportunity to do it again. A situation that really determines the race for the trophy, where it is possible that everything can change again, and despite all that we will see first how Bayern finish their match against Union Berlin. it would be very disappointing if Union Berlin were able to hold Bayern to a draw.

The Bundesliga is very interesting at the moment, where Leverkusen has directly threatened Bayern Munchen dominance by consistently being at the top of the standings, we have seen that they can stay at the top for a long time. For the second time, Bayern lost points, after they lost 5-1 to Frankfurt, Tuchel team now lost again for the second time to Bremen with a narrow score of 1-0, which unfortunately happened at the Allianz Arena. Losing these points means letting Leverkusen sit comfortably above them, and that is enough to threaten Bayern mission to extend their record to become champions again.

Xabi Alonso this season has succeeded in pressing Bayern in a very different way to what Dortmund has done. The opportunity to win the Bundesliga trophy is now even greater, because Bayern experienced a slight shock after receiving two defeats, but there is no guarantee that they will not be defeated in the following weeks. Bayern chance to retain the trophy is still very big, but it must be admitted that it will not be as easy as the previous season.

The second half of the season can be a nightmare for any team, because all contestants want to secure full points in every match, so they can finish in a more worthy place. The Bundesliga still has 16 matches remaining, anything is still very possible, but as you said, Leverkusen has not shown any signs of a decline in performance at all. However, the interesting fact going forward is that we will watch the second leg match between Leverkusen vs Bayern which will take place in Week 21, after the first half of the season the two played a draw.

Inter Milan is currently in a tough testing period, where they have five matches that test their strength to the limit in two domestic competitions. So far in the Italian Super Cup, Inter have completed it very well, and managed to win the championship trophy. Their previous two opponents were Lazio (semi-final) and the latest was Napoli (final). Now Inzaghi has to shift his focus to Serie A, it's time to test the strength of his fleet again against three other tough opponents, Fiorentina, Juventus and Roma. With the capital they have obtained in the Italian Super Cup, I feel they can overcome this challenge to remain at the top of the standings.

Juventus has temporarily taken over the top of the standings from Inter, we know that Inter must be able to secure full points in every match if they want to reclaim it, even though they still have one match postponed, they should be used to create a point difference with Juventus in the future. The determination of who was most serious about fighting for the trophy occurred in week 23, where Inter strength was truly tested to the maximum by Juventus. However, before the big match, we will see how Inter finished the match against Fiorentina first.

It is very difficult for other elite Serie A clubs to revive the competition for the Scudetto, although this hope is still quite open. However, when this becomes small, it doesn't mean that teams like Milan, Napoli, Fiorentina and even Roma can't be a stumbling block in Inter and Juventus mission to hunt for the Scudetto. I think the Inter vs Juventus match really determines the top of the standings, but other teams also have a big chance of disrupting the competition between the two.

The competition for the top four in the La Liga standings in the future will indeed become increasingly fierce, and it is possible that Barcelona and Atletico will have the opportunity to revive the trophy hunt, and we also cannot just ignore teams like Bilbao. It is also possible that Madrid and Girona will create their own competition at the top, but many people believe that Madrid will definitely win the trophy if only Girona is their competitor. I certainly don't underestimate Girona with all their impressive records this season, but in terms of dominance and reputation, Madrid is the team that deserves to be superior.

Losing points in the second half of the season will be very difficult to overcome, that's why Ancelotti almost always fields his best lineup when competing in La Liga. Girona will be ready to disrupt Madrid dominance at any time, and will always expect Madrid losing points, Michel fleet will probably be the biggest problem for Los Blancos this season. On the other hand, I see that Girona is lucky in terms of the limited number of matches they have to face, while Madrid has more than them, it is very possible that Girona will take advantage of this gap to continue to put pressure on Madrid by continuing to create their own consistency.

Regarding the ideal striker on Madrid front line, it seems that Ancelotti has had enough of the troops available, where the Italian coach has seen that Madrid is quite stable in the first half of the season even without a player like Mbappe. Indeed, I myself admit that sometimes they have difficulty winning, such as in the match against Almeria yesterday, but Ancelotti is ready for all the risks he may face in the days to come.

That's true, each team has its own challenges to overcome, where now Pep is still missing one of his key players, namely Halaand. In a period like now, player rotation options are one of the most important factors, where Klopp and Pep can also be very confused about experimenting when they don't have the necessary options. Facing an average club may be easy, but concerns can increase when facing other big clubs, where key players like Salah are really needed in the lineup.

Next week Leverpool will host Chelsea at Anfield, we will see Klopp once again experiment, whether the German coach is lucky again. On paper, I feel that the Reds have a big chance of securing full points, because Chelsea is still not stable even though they have entered the second half of the season. However, beating Chelsea is certainly not like beating Bournemouth last week, especially since it still has to be done without Salah on the front lines.

Overall, Klopp is a coach who is very experienced in various situations, his reputation for bringing Liverpool to success is the benchmark. Liverpool position is not completely safe, because Man City, Arsenal and Aston Villa always press from below. For Arsenal itself, I think Arteta fleet has now recovered, but I also still doubt whether they have another chance to take over the top of the standings in the future.

Tidak adanya kepastian hukum di Negara ini, maksud saya ketika aturan di berlakukan maka sanksi yang di muat tidak pernah dijalankan dengan maksimal dan semestinya. Maka tidak heran hampir di semua tempat yang sudah mencakup tempat terlarang untuk kampanye, masih kita lihat berbagai macam alat peraga kampanye di bentangkan. Andai saja kepastian hukum berjalan dengan benar, kita tidak akan pernah melihat hal semacam itu, dan Caleg juga akan berpikir dua kali sebelum menyuruh Timsesnya memasang atribut mereka.

Saya pikir permasalahan alat peraga kampanye bukan hanya soal tempat saja, tetapi atribut yang sudah terpasang tersebut mempunyai tenggat waktu, dimana para Caleg harus membongkar semua atribut yang sudah terpasang ketika memasuki masa tenang. Dan kita dapat melihat, apakah mereka akan membongkarnya sendiri, atau Satpol PP yang akan ditugaskan untuk membongkarnya. Sulit untuk memahami dinamika dalam perpolitikan di Indonesia, semuanya hampir serba tidak pasti, dan secara keseluruhan kita hanya bisa menyaksikan tanpa bisa melakukan tindakan apapun, karena tidak memiliki wewenang.

The Copa America will start in mid June 2024, I think with the appointment of Dorival Junior as their definitive coach, things will get better. There is hope that Brazil will be able to compete with teams like Argentinta in this competition, and for World Cup qualification they also still have a big opportunity to improve their performance. Neymar is likely to be available again when the Copa America rolls around, and that will certainly make Brazil bargaining chip even better. To be honest, Brazil doesn't lack quality players, in my opinion they just lack a good coach.

Indeed, I have to admit that Brazil is no longer the favorite, but their reputation and big name can still shake their opponents a little. Especially for the World Cup, now teams from Europe are even more favored, such as France, Germany, Spain and several other teams, and I think this is very understandable. Personally, I still believe that Brazil will improve themselves in the future, so that they can realize their dream of winning the Copa America trophy.

On the other hand, in the Copa America Brazil is in group D with Colombia, Paraguay and another person is still waiting for the qualifying results, in my opinion it is a tough group, but I am sure Brazil can qualify with the status of group winners.

In my opinion, if Ivan Toney moves in January then the right choice is Arsenal, but if Toney is only willing to move after the end of the season then the best choice is Chelsea. Because there is a possibility that Chelsea will perform well next season, their young squad has adapted well, and the opportunity to always be the first choice is very open. Competition up front is easier at Chelsea, because Broja, Nkunku and Jackson did not appear impressive and were even very far from standard, while at Arsenal Toney will have competition from Nketiah and Jesus. However, once Toney was recruited to be the main striker, it could be said that his position would be safer, even though he would face competition to lock up a place.

In terms of quality, Toney seems capable of making a difference, with his background with Brentford in the EPL, Toney no longer needs to be grandiose to adapt. However, anyone who is interested in recruiting him must prepare a large budget, because Brentford management does not plan to let him go at a cheap price, especially to a team that likes to haggle over prices. Now it is reported that Man United is ready to enter the competition in hunting for Toney signature. I think Ten Hag really needs a suitable partner for Hojlund. It is very likely that Toney will end this season with Brentford, and he will move after the season ends.

I have a better hope that the Blues will just recruit Osimhen, that would be better because he is a quality and proven striker. Because in terms of price, maybe the two won't be much different, yes I know Osimhen is a little more expensive. However, looking at Chelsea previous transfer history, they have never hesitated to spend large amounts of money, so buying Osimhen at a high price is not a big problem for them.

As we understood in the first half of the season, Juventus is Inter Milan strongest competitor this season. Where I believe that the competition for the Scudetto will only form two axes, because Milan is considered unstable in enlivening the competition. However, we know that Inter is currently focused on the Italian Super Cup, and they still have one postponed match against Atalanta, so for now Juventus is leading the top of the standings. Several other teams also still have matches postponed due to the Italian Super Cup competition, such as Lazio and Napoli. In the future I think Inter will return to the top after finishing the final with Napoli, in my opinion it is an ideal final.

However, I hope that Milan can return to consistency and perform better in the future, so that competition in the top four becomes fiercer. I think Pioli fleet still has that opportunity. Juventus, with all the challenges they faced, was able to overcome them, and now they have proven to everyone that they do not waste the opportunities available. Focusing completely on domestic competitions has given them advantages in terms of time, there are few match schedules, and they have sufficient preparation before starting the match, so they are able to compete closely with Inter.

We know that Pogba was involved in a doping case, and Nicolo Fagioli was involved in a gambling case, but I have not seen them recruiting a suitable replacement in the January transfer window. Maybe Allegri feels that his squad does not lack strength despite losing these two players, and feels that the squad currently available is sufficient. The January transfer window does not seem to be a suitable choice for building a squad for some teams, especially if the team is experiencing a financial crisis like many teams in Serie A.

Since Nasser Al Khelaifi acquired PSG in 2011, the best lineup that PSG has ever built is in the 2021-2023 period. Because they have almost even squad depth and are star studded, especially that they are filled with Neymar-Messi-and Mbappe. From 2011 until last season, PSG was only able to reach the Champions League final once, specifically in the 2020 season before Messi joined them. That was their best journey in the UCL which was managed by Tuchel at that time, after that, like last season, PSG had to be eliminated in the round of 16 because they met Bayern Munchen. To be honest, I see that PSG has tried their best to win the UCL trophy, it's just that they haven't been lucky so far.

It would surprise everyone if PSG this season could actually win the UCL trophy, when we understand that it is impossible to happen, because there are still clubs that are stronger than them, namely Madrid, City and Bayern. It sounds like a fairy tale, and the chances are very low, due to the fact that PSG will need luck to reach the round of 16. However, there is no guarantee that the three favorite clubs can win it, it could be that they will face each other before the final. Overall, sometimes football is really difficult to predict, where luck will favor itself according to its own will, we cannot ignore it at all.

On the other hand, PSG, whose performance this season has been a bit shaken, may only be able to reach the quartermfinals, but that is not the achievement that Luis Enrique and especially Sheikh Nasser Al Khelaifi want. Meanwhile, PSG internal affairs are not completely peaceful, because their star Mbappe contract has not yet come to light, whether he decides to stay or move. Personally, I think Enrique should make good use of this situation, while Mbappe is still with them, and who knows, he can present the trophy at the end of his tenure at the Parc des Princes.

On paper, Brighton deserves to be superior to Wolves, because statistically De Zerbi fleet has a better reputation. However, it is true that this match needs to be avoided, because the strengths of the two are now almost equal, and if you want to bet it requires more consideration. In H2H terms, in the last five meetings between the two, Brighton recorded 4 wins and one loss, including in the first half of the last season Brighton managed to beat Wolves with a score of 4-1. However, in the course of the season, the performance of De Zerbi squad experienced a bit of a shock, so it is very natural that we now doubt them to secure the three points. From a feeling I have a tendency that Brighton will win the match, but who knows, Wolves will have luck like when they beat Man City.

If we look at the interests and ambitions of both of them, Brighton now really hopes to get an additional 3 points, which will make them move up to seventh place in the standings and overtake one of the most elite EPL clubs, namely Man United. Meanwhile, Wolves will have the ambition to penetrate the top 10 of the standings and overtake Newcastle, a background which in my opinion makes the match very intense. I think EPL matches that bring together mid table teams are more interesting and usually stimulate more adrenaline, because usually both teams will play an aggressive and open game. However, as said at the beginning, betting on this match requires careful consideration.

We know that the match between Brighton and Wolves is the closing match of Week 21 of the EPL, where there are 17 remaining matches in the second half of the season, except for Man City and Brentford. Liverpool is currently comfortably leading the standings with a difference of 5 points, but we know that City still has one match postponed, and has the opportunity to cut the gap to 2 points. On the other hand, we can see how fierce the other three teams in the UCL zone are, they have collected the same number of points, namely 43. I think in the future, with so many matches remaining, it will be possible for a team like Tottenham to overtake their position, or in other words, the top 5 positions in the standings it's not completely safe before the points gap is wide. Brighton has the opportunity to break into the Europa League zone, but they have to start by beating Wolves in a few moments.

Girona progress did not stop until week 21, crushing Sevilla mercilessly with a score of 5-1. Now Girona is back at the top of the standings with 52 points, because Madrid still has one match postponed against Getafe, and the most interesting thing is the competition between the two. We know that at almost the same time Madrid almost lost points, and in the end they were able to turn things around in the final minute by beating Almeria. Meanwhile, Girona beat Sevilla so easily, the additional three points again brought them into tight competition at the top. Sevilla seems to have to completely overhaul its squad, in order to survive in La Liga next season, now their position is quite vulnerable because they are only 1 point adrift of Cadiz in the degradation zone.

Everyone must now respect Girona and not underestimate them, because Michel fleet is ready to defeat any team. Overall, we still don't believe that Girona will be as strong as they are now, they managed to lead the standings by overthrowing elite teams, we know that previously it was doubtful that Girona could do this. In my opinion, Girona can definitely secure a ticket to the UCL next season, and I am very confident that they will remain consistent in the remaining matches in the future. Artem Dovbyk appeared stunning by scoring a hat trick, what's great is that he did it in a very short time.

On the other hand, what is of concern to many people is Sevilla performance, how can they decline drastically, only able to secure 16 points from 21 matches. If Cadiz and Granada rise, then Sevilla will sink into the degradation zone. Sevilla really needs to revolutionize the club so that it can survive in La Liga. We know that the biggest obstacle they face is the financial crisis, but they have to do a better job of promoting more young academy players, maybe that can save them. Girona has become the most serious club challenging for the title, Barcelona and ATM seem to only be able to enliven the competition in the top four.

The Copenhagen versus Manchester City match is actually quite easy to predict, it is clear that Pep Guardiola fleet is superior in all aspects, and on the other hand City is the defending champion. If you look back a little at the group stage, Copenhagen qualified because they were lucky, because Manchester United and Galatasaray were inconsistent. Indeed, we cannot underestimate teams that have already qualified for the round of 16, even Copenhagen has the potential to trouble City. However, on paper Copenhagen was just lucky when playing at home in the first leg, and when playing at the Etihad we can easily guess what will happen there. At first glance, Copenhagen chances of qualifying for the quarter finals are very low, unless City loses balance ahead of the match.

Betting on City winning will be very safe, the risk of losing is very small, but the odds given by the bookie are certainly smaller. Apart from the surprise, Copenhagen will need a lot of luck to beat City, and perhaps the best result they can get is to hold Pep fleet to a draw. The return of key players like De Bruyne makes City more solid, and if Halaand is available again then City has the potential to win. Pep Guardiola certainly wants to defend the UCL trophy again, for now City condition is still very stable, and it's natural that they are the favorites to repeat the success like last season.

It's true that Madrid and Bayern Munchen are other favorite teams, I put them on the same page, where their chances and bargaining value in the UCL are equally good. Therefore, I hope that the meeting with fellow favorite teams will occur in the final, but if it happens earlier it will be a match like a final. Apart from all that, the final only provides two slots for two clubs, and apart from that all contestants will be eliminated starting from the round of 16, quarter finals and semi finals, today we assume the three teams above are better than the other contestants, but who knows, the three of them won't be in the final this time.

Schedule and matches for the European League Play Off



I predict the following teams will make it through to the round of 16, namely:

Galatasaray, Roma, Milan, Benfica, Marseille, Sporting, Braga, Lens

However, this does not mean underestimating other teams, and does not rule out the possibility of surprises. The only match that might require better consideration is Roma vs Feyenoord, because in my opinion it seems quite evenly matched in terms of strength. On the other hand, Roma has just replaced their old coach, Jose Mourinho with De Rossi, of course that has a big impact on their bargaining value in the European League.

Madrid managed to win against Almeria and take over the top of the standings from Girona, a very dramatic victory, they would have almost played a draw if Carvajal had not scored a goal at the end of the match. I didn't expect Almeria to be that tough, trouble Madrid from the first minute, and win 2-0 in the first half. Madrid needed extra time to really turn things around and secure full points, one of the most dramatic matches I've seen this season. Bellingham, Vinicius and Carvajal managed to score goals which made Madrid secure 3 points, Ancelotti looked very happy with this result.

Madrid as a whole dictated the course of the match, they were superior from all sides, and in the end Almeria failed to maintain victory at the end of the match. It's not an easy job to win at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially since Madrid hasn't relaxed their attacks in the slightest, and Bellingham in particular is still a nightmare for any team, even though today he scored a goal from the penalty spot. On the other hand, Almeria now have to postpone their mission to achieve their first win again, they will almost certainly be relegated this season, because they have only been able to pocket 6 points from 21 matches in La Liga.

Madrid still has one postponed match against Getafe, but before that Madrid must finish the match against Las Palmas first, to be able to widen their gap with Girona to 2 points, this scenario applies on the condition that they must win in these two matches. Apart from that, Girona will continue to put pressure on Madrid, but we'll see how their match against Sevilla will take place in a few moments. Personally, I predict that Girona will beat Sevilla, which is very reasonable because we know that Sevilla performance this season has dropped drastically, an additional 3 points will bring Girona back to the top.

Real Sociedad luck is because they are in group D, you could say group D is one of the easiest compared to the other groups. In fact, Inter Milan deserved more to win the group, but they lost in terms of the number of goals and conceded, and Benfica and Salzburg were not comparable opponents, making it easier for Sociedad to advance to the round of 16. I predict Sociedad progress will be stopped in the round of 16 by PSG, the fact that Luis Enrique has often faced them will be a plus point, where Enrique also has better squad depth. On the other hand, even though PSG are not the favorites in the UCL, they seem to be able to beat Sociedad.

The reason that La Liga is more competitive than Ligue 1 makes sense, but in many ways Sociedad is still far behind PSG. It would be quite safe to bet on PSG winning, even though Sociedad is showing different performances between the UCL and La Liga. The priority scale of each club is very different, but balancing the teams in two elite European competitions is the main priority. Whatever it is, PSG is considered to still have a chance of continuing to advance to the quarter-finals, without ruling out the possibility that Sociedad will create a surprise because PSG is playing badly. But on paper, betting on Sociedad is very risky and should be considered carefully.

We know and really understand that PSG escaped the group phase because of luck, yes they were lucky to escape the hellish group. Their defeats to Newcastle and Milan have made us all doubt whether Enrique will be able to bring his fleet to speak much going forward. However, as I said at the start, Sociedad can trouble PSG, but they need a miracle to overthrow a team like PSG in the round of 16. Sociedad reputation in La Liga can be used as a reference, although not completely. I think their chances of advancing to the UCL quarter-finals are very low.

Man City needs to protect its star De Bruyne from the interest of other clubs who want to take him out of the Etihad, De Bruyne contract will expire in June 2025. He is already 32 years old, but his release clause is still very high, but we know the SPL club has the pleasure to spend more money to recruit players, so it is appropriate for City to renew De Bruyne contract to hear that he has agreed to stay until 2026. I predict De Bruyne will be able to appear on fire until the age of 35, after that it will probably be very difficult for him to survive with the intensity of the League. relying too much on physicality like the EPL.

There is no reason for Pep Guardiola to let go of one of his best assets, we know that when De Bruyne is available again like he is now, City chances of winning become more convincing. I still remember his comeback performance against Newcastle, how easy it was for De Bruyne to see the opportunity and create it to pass on to Bobb to score a goal. It's things like that that make City management want to stay together, if there were no injuries, perhaps Pep would always rely on him in all competitions and all matches.

Maybe for this transfer window, SPL clubs will not be too aggressive in recruiting first-class players, who have flashy reputations and are big names on the European and even world football stage. It could be that in the future, not only City will feel worried, even if their players are interested in SPL clubs, almost all clubs will feel the same way. Because in general, they are willing to offer unreasonable money and facilities, maybe at the end of his best period in the EPL De Bruyne will also be willing to move to the SPL, while enjoying the rest of his game before deciding to retire.
