The derby didn't go well at all seeing the dominance Athletic Club had yet they lost to Athletic Madrid who were at the mercy of the home team. the early goal from Antonio Griezman demarcated the both club and a full 3 point for the away club (Athletico Madrid). Real Betis and Real Sociedad might have to push them to the sixth position where they will start finding their way up again. Athletico Madrid never deserved their win at all.
The final result 0-1 between Athletic Club - Atletico Madrid is quite interesting. However, this also decides the position in the standing of La Liga. The point gap is so small. However the goal is only 1 created but this determined that Atletico Madrid won and was better in the match. But at this time, the position of the Athletic Club began to be threatened. Because, if Real Betis and Real Sociedad win, then the points will be above Athletic Club. It's a pretty exciting position struggle. Players from Athletic Club made some mistakes that costed them the defeat, even when Atlético de Madrid didn't play really well either. For the former, the loss at home and being relegated from the third place (and who knows, maybe fourth place too) must have been a hard blow. Interesting game because of the results, but not really exciting on the field. Let's wait for the Clásico if what we want is to see some action. Their performance was actually good but indeed in this case we can't rule out Simeone's Strategy which continues to play safe so that the Athletic Bilbao players have difficulty in this match. On the other hand, this is not really a blow for them because they must realize that sooner or later something like this must happen because even with the condition of their squad, even if their performance is good, they will not be able to stay in consistency forever. |

I think atletico and juventus are the most surprising results so far, we all have seen how milan are performing in the european competitiond and in a group with chelsea and salsburg two experienced teams in the champions league i was kinda expecting them to have big trouble, still milan and atletico has a great chance to make it to the next phase.
Juventus really has bad performance in UCL, they can only make 1 victory and lost 3 times. There are only two matches reminding and I don't think they can make it good. moreover, they will face PSG at the end of the round match. This will be a hard and tough match to win. So does Atletico Madrid. Porto is a quite good club that has performed well enough so far. But, the result is still unpredictable moreover because Atletico Madrid sometimes plays unpredictably worse. Currently they are in 3rd position with the same points as Maccabi but with 2 opponents to face Benfica and PSG obviously the chance to be in the Europa League is also a bit difficult especially by looking at their performance against Maccabi in the previous match. The team which is actually quite seeded at the start is not very good at the moment and I am personally quite pessimistic that they can qualify for the Europa League with these conditions. |

Atletico Madrid were performing well at the beginning of the season, I don't know what has gone wrong that the team is not doing well at the moment. Now they struggle to win games even in the Champions league. I barely see them qualifying past the group stages and dropping to the Europa league. The remaining games seem even more difficult to win so It's almost impossible.
In the last few weeks, Atletico played very poorly. But they have shown us an improvement in their performance lately. Today, they won against Atletic Club, it maintains their position in 3td place and it makes the point gap with Real Madrid and Barcelona to be 3 points only. I believe Atletico Madrid already found their best lineups and proper tactics. Just give them more chances to show a better performance both in La Liga and UCL. They won but it wasn't like winning the game because 90 minutes they were forced to stay in their defensive area and I didn't even see any real possession of the ball except from the Bilbao players' mistakes in passing or losing the ball. 3 Points is indeed something that is quite good but in my opinion it is not too good if Simeone always uses a strategy like this because the risk is still quite large. |

Barcelona will not be happy to play the classic in Madrid. Being almost certainly eliminated from the Champions League is not good for confidence. Real Madrid also did not win at Shaktar, but were actually already qualified for the next round so they can be content with that. I expect that both teams want to play full on the attack. Can Frenkie de Jong finally show against Real Madrid how good he can play football? Last year's spectacle in Madrid was a joy to watch for the neutral spectator. Real Madrid will presumably be looking for a revenge from last season.
Even so it would have been better if they had won because otherwise they lost the Champions League and the top of the table was clearly given back to Madrid and this is certainly not good for those who are currently gambling this season by spending a lot of money on player transfers but not get even one trophy then this will only make it difficult for them in financial condition. |

Barca and Juventus are basically out of the cup.
Barcelona will probably go in Europa League, while Juventus if they continue on this path they go out of the Euro cups competently.
Both of them are now definitely clowns in the Champions League. But it would be very good if Juventus could be in 3rd position at the end because it would be exciting it seems that the Europa League is filled with several big clubs like Barcelona, Juventus, Ajax and it is not impossible if you look at the current condition of Milan and Sporting they are also having a hard time. close the possibility of them also following into the Europa League. |

1-0 for Barcelona, at the moment the direct games between Barca and Inter are in a perfect tie between 2 games, and it will be crucial if Barca could score 1 more goal.
The second half has gone on for 65 minutes and Inter have now made it 1-2 with goals from Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez recently. With this Barcelona pressure will obviously be very big because their target in this match is to win and when they lose then their chances are clearly closed for the Champions League and they will move to the Europa League. |

Anything can happen in this el clasico, because we know that both teams have some problems with their players. The last one is Rudiger who had a problem during the game a few hours ago. I don't know much about Rudiger's injury, which was bleeding. Can he play in El Clasico or not? Because if he is absent it will be a loss for Real Madrid to lose a strong defender. Likewise with Barcelona who lost several players because of the same thing. Ahead of the El Clasico match, it is true that both teams may still be missing several players due to injury. I don't think it's going to be the most basic issue of why we should be worried, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have some decent substitutes to play for. But I want to focus a little on Barcelona's match against Inter today, obviously there will be a lot of expectations on Barcelona's shoulders because they have to get 3 points at the end of the match. If Barcelona lose this match, then I think in El Clasico things will be very different for them. I don't see that in Madrid now because Courtois' absence will be completely over considering this player will definitely be in the line-up ahead of the Clasico because Ancelotti has also said that he will definitely be ready to play. But it's different from Barcelona, which still has some problematic players. Even though it's like that, it still won't get rid of the high intensity it seems because this is the big match that you've been waiting for. |

Without doubt, Union Berlin's performance this season have been outstanding. They so far won 6 out of the 9 games they have played. While, their match between Dortmund will be an interesting one. Union Berlin have high chances of winning, Although, it quite certain that it won't be an easy winning. But, I will like to see Union Berlin win inorder for them to maintain occupying the first position on the standings.
Union Berlin have been fantastic this season but their last two matches have not been convincing even the win against Stuthgart was poor. They were possess in every department and I notice they usually switch off in games these days and this gives opponents the opportunity to punish them. As for Dortmound they lose matches that they are suppose to win. So I will be going for a draw but not a goalless game You are a little wrong because in this case Union from the start was very good in terms of performance. 9 matches, 6 wins 2 draws and 1 loss is still a very good record for them, especially in this case they are a club that can be said to be the strongest club in defense because they have only conceded 6 goals. but this week's test is quite tough because Dortmund clearly don't want to end up with a defeat or draw like the previous 2 matches so this can be a benchmark whether Union can still maintain its consistency or will only end up in Bayern and Dortmund in the top 2 positions. |

True, this should be another highlight.
Trent Alexander Arnold at the beginning of this season often made mistakes and it can be said that his mistakes were always the same as before.
He forgot his position and was so focused on the attack that when the opponent counterattacked he was always late to go home.
This season he's made a lot of mistakes like this and this he still can't change.
I don't think only Alexander-Arnold has played badly and below standards this season, even if we look at the majority of Liverpool's players, their performance has really decreased this season. So it's unfair if we just keep blaming Alexander-Arnold for Liverpool's declining form this season. It should be Klopp's job to motivate Liverpool players whose performances have declined this season. It's only natural that Liverpool often struggle to win despite facing weaker opponents, that's because the confidence of Liverpool's players is very low, so it will be difficult to play well if the majority of Liverpool's players are morally down. Then Klopp must dare to make big changes in the Liverpool squad, Klopp must try a different formation and also a different strategy this season. Having continued to use the same strategy for several seasons, make it easier for the opposing team to read Liverpool's game, so Liverpool are easy to beat. Hopefully Klopp realizes he must dare to improvise trying new strategies, so that Liverpool's game is more difficult to predict by the opposing team. Apart from that we can also see when in some games like when they faced Napoli in the Champions League how many times he was late to return to the post. Even if you think it's not very fair because Liverpool's performance is still not good, but this kind of defense will only make it look as if what is being done is right. As for the scheme and strategy in the game, I don't see much real change because they still use the same scheme as last season, there are only a few players who are replaced but in this formation and strategy it is not much different. |

No no, it will be a difficult weekend for Liverpool. Why Manchester City at this time that they are struggling to find their form. Nobody should think of wasting bets on Liverpool, because they will lose this match against City. See my reasons;
1. Liverpool is not in good form since this season.
2. Salah is not in his prime.
3. Nunez is yet to adapt to the team.
4. Diaz is injured and off for about 10 matches.
5. Van Dijk has lost his form.
I don't know the kind of magic that Jurgen Klopp will perform against Manchester City and how possible is it that the magic will work.
You forgot to talk about Trent Alexander-Arnold whose form seems to be completely off this season. Liverpool no longer have that intensity and fear factor they used to have a few seasons back. The whole squad all of a sudden just seems like one that is composed of bang-average players. Sadio Mané was lucky to leave in time. True, this should be another highlight. Trent Alexander Arnold at the beginning of this season often made mistakes and it can be said that his mistakes were always the same as before. He forgot his position and was so focused on the attack that when the opponent counterattacked he was always late to go home. This season he's made a lot of mistakes like this and this he still can't change. |

Dortmund are not very lucky with their schedule in the recent times. Because their next opponent in the league is Union Berlin in an away game. Considering that Union Berlin are still the leader in the standings now Dortmund have a very tough game ahead. Dortmund defeated them here by 3-0 last season actually. And they didn't have Haaland in that game due to an injury as well.
Now Union Berlin are stronger and more motivated of course but let's see if Dortmund can still keep an advantage against them psychologically. I'd rather bet on both teams to score @1.71. I don't think any of them will have big difficulties in scoring at least one goal.
Union Berlin formally now has the best defense in the Bundesliga, while Borussia's attack is far from ideal. Both teams are in the top group and it seems to me that they will play more cautiously than with the intention to get three points at all costs. I think betting on BTTS is very risky in this meeting. Agree with what you said because indeed 9 matches have been run this season they are the club that has conceded the fewest goals because only 6 goals have been in Ronnow's goal. But indeed this can still change because even in this case Union is still very good but I am a little doubtful whether they can still be consistent or not in the upcoming matches. |

The work of Barcelona will be even greater before they play an el clasico match. This is because their chances are slim if they are not able to beat Inter Milan. Victory is the only way if they still want to play in the Champions League this season. While Real Madrid will be easier, I consider this to be a strengthening of their game before El Clasico later.
Real Madrid must prepare well because they have the advantage of a tough Barcelona game in the Champions League. They have to see it as an opportunity for them.
Obviously they have to do that now because in any case a win is a must for Barcelona considering their points in the Champions League are so worrying. Their points have now been lost to Inter and Bayern and with things like this if they drop points again it is certain that a second Europa League is waiting for them. With a squad that is considered as one that can be competitive for the Champions League, it seems that Barcelona is still struggling with that. |

Losing players to injuries has always been a problem to every team. Losing seven first team player is a lot of numbers which definitely affect the team Xavi will have to do squad rotation to corb this problem. Playing Madrid at this time will be a tough one to handle especially when most of the injured players are defensive playings and playing against a very good attacking team it will really be tough for Barcelona.
It's true, losing a lot of players is definitely a problem and even though they won in La Liga in their last 2 matches but their score really feels the difference when often seeing at the start Barcelona score very well at least 2 goals in every game and now the gap feels according to I. Fortunately Xavi can still play well and still bring points even though maybe for the Champions League it is still a little worrying for them. |

Bayern Munich does not seem to be in too much trouble at the moment. To be honest, they are not in any kind of trouble at all. In terms of their position at the table, they are not too far behind. At the end of the season, I believe they will be the ones who will win the Bundesliga title. In spite of the fact that right now it seems like Bayern Munich will not be able to win the Bundesliga title this year.
However, I also know that there is no team this season that is capable of actually being consistent enough to be able to beat Bayern Munich in the race for the title. My personal opinion is that Bayern Munich will not be able to do well in the Champions League this year. However, I don't think that they will lose the Bundesliga titles to any other team.
It's true that their form hasn't really been a problem but because we've seen them top of the table from the start of the season so far there are a few differences that are visible which makes it a bit odd. But in this case actually for Bayern they are just a matter of time I think. Currently they are in 3rd position and the clubs above are Freiburg and Union. I think this will only last a little while because sooner or later these two clubs will be eliminated at the top of the table and at least allow them to compete at 2-4 position. |

Actually in this match I didn't see Liverpool bad because despite their defeat they still played very well although there were still some mistakes especially for their defense which always failed to mark the players from Arsenal but they were able to even equalize twice.
But Saka's penalty broke the mood and they couldn't keep up.
agreed, I think Liverpool are starting to improve a little bit, but their defense is what seems to be causing troubles for them, they conceded 11 goals in 5 matches, which the average of like 2 goals a match, it is quite a lot, and we can see that Liverpool can score, so their defense could be the weakest part of their team. The problem was how they held off a quick counterattack. The average goals scored against Aliison are always on quick counter-attacks that fail to be blocked because their players continue to be in front so it becomes very difficult for them. It would be great if Klopp made real changes in this regard because if this weakness continues it will not be good for them either. |

Arsenal this season makes things very hard for the other teams especially City. It has been quite long time since gunners were performing like that.
The victory against Liverpool with 3 goals to 2 was impressive.
They won against Liverpool and everybody knows that Liverpool is in pretty bad shape right now even Manchester United was able to dominate them so yeah there isnt anything special about this. I'd love to watch Arsenal play against some other top teams right now to convince me that they have a shot on the top spot otherwise its pretty unconvincing though Actually in this match I didn't see Liverpool bad because despite their defeat they still played very well although there were still some mistakes especially for their defense which always failed to mark the players from Arsenal but they were able to even equalize twice. But Saka's penalty broke the mood and they couldn't keep up. |

Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Manchester City have all won their respective matches. There are no surprises about these 4 matches, almost all of them are predictable. So all the home teams today won, this is of course good. https://i.imgur.com/2JVjwRe.jpgChelsea is getting better in the last 3 matches, they managed to collect 9 points from 3 matches and that looks like quite convincing. Manchester City continued their unbeaten run until week 9, they performed great in front of the fans who fulfill the Etihad Stadium today. Haaland, Foden, Mahrez and Cancelo each scored one goal, they are title favorites this season. Dunno if I can call Leicester defeat an expected one. They are in the worst shape since months and basically every team is passing them. You expect them to win every time, yet they are failing the hard way. The other teams won big this round. Spurs are playing right now and they are leading with 1 goal in the first half. yet another defeat to Leicester after last week they won convincingly. I think they will come back and control the game more in this game but it seems my expectations are still too high for them. This defeat only made things worse and Rodgers doesn't seem safe in the coaching chair at the moment. |

for the Marseille match against Ajaccio of course Marseille is very favored, in terms of the quality of the players the two teams are not balanced especially now that Marseille is in its best form, I think if there are no surprises it is very possible for Marseille to win this match easily.
I also think that Marseille will get full points in that match because of the nine matches played by Marseille this season, Marseille have not once lost. So it is clear that it is very possible for Marseille to win another match against Ajaccio who are currently still at the bottom of the temporary standings. And that indicates that Ajaccio is a team that is still very weak this season Surprisingly this did not meet expectations and their first defeat had to be felt in this match by Ajaccio who incidentally is a promoted team this season. Obviously this is not too unexpected because in any case Marseille are far superior to Ajaccio but their game this time they played badly in my opinion. Despite their excellent possession of the ball, they couldn't create any good chances and 10 shots with only 2 on target clearly didn't live up to many people's expectations. |

Bremen managed to get full points in this match because in the last minute a penalty from Nicklas Fullkrug managed to change the situation to 1-2.
This is a good win for them because with this result they are still in the top 4 and of course this is something good for a team whose status is a promotion team this season.
The good part is that another goal was scored in this game. The missed part is that Bremen is the one that scored and won and not Hoffenheim although their odds were higher after the draw. Anyway Dortmund - Bayern tomorrow 🔥 Bremen scored in a situation which was quite difficult for Hoffenheim to catch as they only had a few minutes and indeed it proved they failed with that. Bayern and Dortmund  28 minutes are running now but the game is still very monotonous and I still haven't seen their goalkeeper struggling with the ball because the ball is still rolling in the middle of the field. |

Atletico Madrid didn't surprise anyone by taking the win against Girona home. Correa had a great day by scoring two goals and had the biggest role in the 2-1 win. Athletic Bilbao and Betis are going to be their opponents on two of their next three game weeks in the league and both are away games. At the moment, those two teams are the best ones in home games.
Considering that Atletico Madrid have a really difficult job on those weeks. It's like an opportunity to show how serious they are in this season. If they get poor results then I won't expect much thing from them this season. Otherwise they might be able to do better this time.
This is a victory that is actually natural in my opinion because their comparison is still too far away but in this case we can't rule out the fact that Atletico still can't play like the previous seasons because facing their promoted team is quite difficult, obviously it is still proof that they are still very competitive. difficulty in navigating La Liga this season. |
