701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 21, 2024, 03:23:23 PM

Indeed, it is certain that Juventus will not be able to catch up with Inter Milan, which currently has 76 points, with difference of 15 points from Juventus and this is very big difference.
Juventus only hope is to try and fight hard to win runners-up.
In the future, they must be more consistent with stable performance to prevent Bologna from taking over the 3rd position which is currently occupied by Juventus, although many people are starting to doubt Juventus, but I am sure they can do it by fighting for runners-up.
Nothing is impossible if there is determination and also making amends for several mistakes that have occurred so that Juventus must learn from experience and achieve more wins in the existing matches to finish this season competition.
Seeing Juventus developing well, I have little hope for them to remain in 2nd or 3rd position and try to get UCL ticket next season because this season they lost their ticket because of mistakes they made last season.

Moreover, Bologna is not strong team, although I admit that Bologna is team with pretty good defense.
Bologna chance to overtake Juventus is when they meet but I still believe Juventus will be able to beat them.
For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are no longer faced with the European contest and so for inter Milan and Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Against Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan did well to stay in the game but it wasn't just well enough to help them advance in the contest. They've gained enough grounds this season and it's profitable to them considering how well and useful their position has been and will be for them in subsequent games and seasons too.

Yes real Madrid is an elite club in Europe. They have been competing at the highest level for a long time now and they have been consistent with their dealings.  For me I don't like the way real Madrid went about with the Mbappe deal, it seems they where behind Mbappe refusal to sign a contract extension with PSG. It's not fair for a team to lose a player like Mbappe for free, and it seems this is the new strategy that real Madrid are using to bring big players to their club. Real Madrid is a club that I admire but they have to do clean business when it comes to players transfer. Moreover it's not guaranteed that when Mbappe start playing for real Madrid that they will be unstoppable. Eden hazard was a good player but he didn't succeed at Madrid.
It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run.

 Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold. Real Madrid has even been performing at their best without a stable striker in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get a striker for themselves. Left for me, they're doing just fine without a striker.

 They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability. But still they just have to have for themselves a striker that'd be majored on that role of goal scoring and they won't have to be using a false forward in their games. Well before now, Mbappe was a prospect but Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of forward they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.

For me, since Ter Stegen returned as the main goalkeeper, Barcelona's goal has not been as easy to break down as when Inaki Pena replaced Ter Stegen due to his injury. Barcelona's main goalkeeper can be relied on, unlike when Barcelona's goal was guarded by Inaki Pena. understandably, this young goalkeeper lacks experience and often makes blunders. that's why, Barcelona experienced some very messy matches. plus, several of Barcelona's core defenders also played badly. Now Barcelona is starting to perform a little better again, even though Gavi, De Jong, Pedri are again injured. Likewise with Balde, Joao Cancelo who is often relied on in Barcelona's defense line.
however, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. plus, currently Barcelona is runner up behind Real Madrid. with 9 matches remaining until the end of the competition, Barcelona is 8 points adrift of Real Madrid. well, it's quite difficult to catch up on the points difference from the top of the standings. moreover, if Madrid is still able to maintain its consistency throughout the remaining matches this season. but at least, Xavi has improved Barcelona's performance and has a chance to advance to the next phase of the Champions League.

As for Girona, their ranking could drop again in the remaining 9 matches. The problem is, Girona has matches against Atletico and Barcelona. plus, several other matches. If Girona loses, that means giving Bilbao and Atletico the opportunity to finish in the top four of La Liga until the competition ends.
Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done. Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves.

 I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come.
It'll be very much important that Barcelona management tried their best to get a good replacement for Xavi Alonso  and finding the best option for them would be a bit difficult. There are prospect options for them but they've got to be very careful in their choices.

 Considering Emery as a choice, he's got an improved record with Villa and normally, Villa and Barcelona's level can't be compared so it's safe to say that it'd be a bit different to manage Barcelona based on their range of players and level in football. Barcelona isn't a team to be taken as an experiment. They won't be able to bear loosing their value and pride just because of them trying to make use of a manager who's not really had very much experience in a big team. Although, EPL is competitive than the La Liga, so maybe there can be a little match in strategy.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 20, 2024, 08:05:13 PM

Bayer Leverkusen currently is standing at the number of 38 with 5 more needed for the level and then 1 for the new record holder and their current performance and schedule is clearly indicating they can go for the new record which is surely going to stand for the long time and Xabi Alonso is also going to be stayed in history books for long time with his contribution in this clubs record middle of the April is going to be challenging because then Bayer Leverkusen is going to have few high profile matches which can make things tough for them but in next five games they have no problem which are enough for them to have record of winning streak.

After 12 years we are going to have some serious threat for the record which held by the Italian giants and now going to be transfer in Germany, but now we need some patience and better performance from them because sometime things can go either way even they are at his best.
Bayer Leverkusen this season have been very impactful in their games. They've been able to keep an unbeaten record so far and with the few games left till the season is wrapped up, the probability for them to remain with such feat is feasible. They've been a great team and their boss, Xabi has done his part of creating a notable differences in the atmosphere of the German Bundesliga. They have had tough matches but still in both home and away encounters, they've remained positively consistent in their game performances and results too.

Their stride in the UEL is seeming to take them till the finals and even add another trophy to their closet, regardless of the fact that they may have a top contender. They've given the fans enough confidence to stand by and believe in them to deliver well which is something beautiful to experience in all of the happenings so far this season. The season has yes being a very different and unusual than every other past seasons and for Leverkusen, it's being different for a good cause. 3 trophies are looming about for them.

 Certainly the Bundesliga, the DFB pokal and highly probable, the UEL. The opponents for these titles aren't seeming tough for the soon to be crowned German champions, there's been evidences of what they're capable of and I don't think that if after they've kept up a good pace and record from the beginning till now, they'll then turn to spoiling or tainting the good records set. The last games are anticipated and there's much believe in the fact that as always and usual, they'll be the victors till the end.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 20, 2024, 07:17:57 PM

Not only in the Saudi pro league but Al Hilal also maintains its unbeaten record in all competitions so it is very difficult for other clubs to beat it while Al Hilal is having a very good season, and its players are also still strong enough to show their best performance this season so that makes Al Hilal is increasingly confident in facing any obstacle. But anything can happen in football, sometimes even mid-table clubs or lower-class clubs are able to provide surprises that we cannot predict, if their opponents are careless and too proud of themselves, they can beat them easily, even though the chance is small. But we don't know yet know what will happen in the match because Al Hilal is also playing an away match.

Even though they are playing away from home, Al Hilal still has a very big chance considering their extraordinary performance this season, and for Al Shabab, even though the chance is small, I hope they don't just give up and continue to try to maximize their performance because so far no club has been able to break Al Hilal's winning record and it could be that Al Hilal is broken by an ordinary club. If this really happens, I'm sure Al Shabab will become a club that is in the spotlight of many people because it was able to beat Al Hilal for the first time in the Saudi Pro League. But once again this is just wishful thinking on my part, I'm very curious about who will break Al Hilal's record in season  Roll Eyes
Al-Hilal are still leading the standings in the league and it’s surprising how after more than half of the season they still remain unbeaten together with Bayern Leverkusen of Germany. This goes to show the kind of feat the Saudi Club has achieved this season.They’ve been on top form and not just in the league but they’re also on fire in the Asian Champions League and they are already looking like possible winners of that league. Yes this is because at the moment they seem unstoppable by most teams.

 Al-Nassr who could have been the only team to stop this Al-Hilal team haven’t been able to do so and by that it’s seeming like no other team will be able to stop this Al-Hilal team with about 12 games to go. Al Shabab will be their next challenge and they too are neither looking like they can be any sort of threat to this Al-Nassr side in any way.Well football is a great game and yes predictable but sometimes goes south as the unexpected team can turn to give a great shocker to the big dog.

 Al-Hilal will be playing away from home and I don’t think that’s causing any sort of worry at all as they can still perform optimally. I’m seeing Al-Hilal winning with over 3 goals and yes that’s what will happen. Yes they’ll drop points but I don’t think that will happen in this fixture. Al-Nassr needs to gear up for the match with Al Hilal as it could be a redeeming match for Ronaldo and Al Nassr’s followers and lovers.

Girona's match against Getafe could be said to be less than satisfying. The reason is that in that match, Girona was only able to win the match with a score of 1:0. In fact, if you look at Girona in their best performance, perhaps in the match against Getafe it is likely that Girona players will be able to score at least 3 goals. However, at the end of this season, Girona experienced a decline in performance. I don't know what the cause is, but what is certain is that Girona certainly cannot continue to allow this. Because if left unchecked, it is very likely that Girona will be eliminated from the top 4 positions in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

Maybe if you look briefly at Girona's match against Getafe, as you said, Girona players still have a high level of egoism. Maybe because these players want to make their names bigger so that it will be easier if they want to move to another club. Because now will definitely be a golden opportunity for Girona players to show their skills. But unfortunately it can be said that this action is not the right action. In fact, this action will definitely tarnish his own name. But this is just my prejudice and I hope the Girona players remain united.

And for Girona's match against Real Betis, I can't comment much about this match. Because if I say Girona will win, in fact in the last match Girona was only able to draw against Real Betis. Then if I said Real Betis would win, I would also be a little doubtful. The reason is that currently Girona's ranking is higher than Real Betis. So in my opinion it is very likely that Girona's match against Real Betis will end in a draw again.
La Liga is definitely a competitive league and for the fact that against all odds, Girona have proven to stay in the top spot, it only means that there's definitely good fighting and resilient spirits in the teams there. The last weeks of the season games seems to be a walk over for Girona as they've in the first legs played to their best and have mastered rightly their strategies and the opposing team approaches, and so they've got better experience to countering the moves that'll be made.

 Real Madrid is definitely of all the league teams be their toughest opponent but I believe that they'll definitely find the best way to counter the moves that'll be made. It'll be beautiful to see that Girona in a long time would get to have a ticket to the European cup next season, they're not aiming for the La Liga trophy, they're definitely going for next season's European ticket and so far, it's seeming like a finished task, we only have to wait for the last table result on the La Liga. Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance.

 In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. I'd hope more that maybe there'll be a difference on the leader in the La Liga this season considering how dedicated Girona team generally are set towards making a remarkable change. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 20, 2024, 05:30:56 PM

I think the possibility of Tuchel leaving is higher than Kimmich leaving. Kimmich is one of the players who most strongly opposes Tuchel. Over the years, Kimmich has been considered an irreplaceable pillar at Bayern, but since Tuchel arrived, he has repeatedly spoken out that Kimmich is not suitable for the position of holding midfielder, and this clearly doesn't make Kimmich satisfied, and the climax was the time Kimmich could not keep calm and got into a fight with a member of the Bayern Munich coaching staff. It's clear that the relationship between Kimmich and Tuchel cannot be repaired and one of them must leave to help Bayern stabilize.
But it seems that Tuchel is not only displeased with Kimmich and also many other players at Bayern like Thomas Muller. Besides, there is a group of players defending Tuchel, including Neuer, Musiala and Kean, who are all important players of Bayern. Therefore, if Tuchel stays, Bayern's internal affairs will continue to be unstable for a long time with conflicts between the two groups of players and with the coach himself. Therefore, Tuchel's departure is probably the most optimal solution, and the announcement that Tuchel and Bayern will terminate the contract on June 30, 2025 is the answer for all.
Tuchel's presence in the team ought to make a significant impact to their endeavors all time and also Kane's performance needed to add a big advantage to them but so far, their recent games have turned out opposite of their normal and expected performance rate. It'll only mean that their journey this season to a top spot is threatened and no one can say exactly if they'll be able to scale through it. They've not been encouraging and it's quite appaling that they remain depreciated week after week. Sadly though, Tuchel's stay in the club is seemingly threatened, his days are actually numbered and it's understandable that the management would want a switch for the coach position as they expected him to be better considering how much effort his put in recent times and even with flaws, they need not to keep overlooking it as it's unending.

 Well it'll only task them to find a proper hand that'll replace Tuchel's as so far they need not to take their chances and cause this to continue unto the next season. Alonso is being quested for and if they're able to secure him, well, hopefully he'll be able to take them out of the state they are. His records are speaking for him and so it's understandable that they see him as a proper prospect for the job ahead in the club. This season, there's been a switch in the dominance that occurs in the German league, the professor Xabi is one key threat to Munich who's in time past being the head and leaders of the league.

 Even though last season, there's been a trail behind from Dortmund, comparing all the years, only Leverkusen have been overtime been able to maintain the difference in standings on the contention battle. Tuchel knows that a serious tussle laid ahead and as the season keeps drawing to an end, there's been hope for a greater chance to create growth opportunities too. I'd have loved to see how the end of the season will look like for the German clubs as it's highly expected that unlike Dortmund, Leverkusen would make the big difference since so far, Munich has failed in making good names for themselves.
708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 20, 2024, 05:15:46 PM

Yes, I agree with you friend. This season Liverpool has performed quite well compared to other Premier League teams. The reason is that this season, of all the matches played by Liverpool in the Premier League, Liverpool have only tasted the bitterness of defeat twice. This is different from Liverpool's two rival clubs in the Premier League (Arsenal and Manchester City) which have more losing records. So from here I can also conclude that Liverpool is indeed superior when compared to Man City and Arsenal.

Apart from that, this season Liverpool players have often been hit by injuries. Because of this, Liverpool's performance often looks less consistent due to this. Likewise with Manchester City who had the same fate as Liverpool. However, the difference is that Manchester City is arguably not as bad as Liverpool when their players are injured. Because when Liverpool players are injured, the worst thing is that more than 10 players are injured at the same time. This certainly has a big impact on Liverpool's performance. Moreover, this season Liverpool is taking part in many competitions which will definitely make the situation even more difficult.

But this is where we can praise the Liverpool players and also Klopp as Liverpool coach. The reason is that even though many of Liverpool's main players are injured, Klopp and his existing players always manage to maintain victory in every match Liverpool plays in every competition. For this reason, I am very impressed with Liverpool's struggle. Because for example, the situation felt by Liverpool is also felt by other teams, for example Man City. I'm sure Man City will definitely have a lot of trouble.

So in the remainder of this season, I hope that no Liverpool players suffer injuries. Likewise with Arsenal and Man City players. So the fight for the Premier League title is really fierce and exciting.
Liverpool already have won the Carabao and were on course to win the quadruple this season until their hopes was cut short by United who were able to win them away.  But that doesn’t mean they’re a very poor team. They still are chasing the treble and have better chances of winning both the league and the UEL if they’re very serious. Between them and Arsenal and City they seem to be the best teams as they’ve had less amount of loss. But they shouldn't exposed their weaknesses as they did against  United and fight hard to better in the rest of the tournaments they're still involved in.

 Though they’ve been hit with injury crises and though we can say that’s not an excuse as other teams too have been hit by same injury but you can’t compare with Liverpool which makes them have over 10 players out yet they still try to still keep the fire burning and are chasing real hard. I’m very confident on Liverpool than Arsenal. I said so cause Arsenal are good at giving up when they're very close to achieving success in winning the trophy just like they did the previous season. Which gives Liverpool or City an upper hand in winning the league.

 Liverpool will look more fierce especially as their players are already coming back and returning from injuries and I hope theyll be able to maintain that form and keep hitting on the clubs. A club like Liverpool is fit to be winner as you can see how they kept man city on their toes in the match at Anfield. If any club is hit with same crisis Liverpool faced then I don’t think the club will be able to survive it as you must commend Klopp and the resilience of his players. I wish them luck and have high hopes on theM ending Man City’s dominance.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: March 20, 2024, 05:01:07 PM

All three have equal chances to end the season with a champion, but just like you, I also hope if Arsenal can do miracles this season by getting a trophy after a long time of fasting for the Premier League title, last season Arsenal continued to run since the start of the season but they looked like they ran out of gas when they started to reach the finish line where Manchester City finally kicked them to the runner up position,  Manchester City's performance every season is quite stable because indeed they are supported by strong finances to upgrade their squad every season and that is why it is difficult for other teams to break Manchester City's series of titles so far.

Arsenal resurgence looks a bit late this season Compared to last season which at the beginning of the season began to dominate the top of the table and I hope maybe that can be An indication if Arsenal will be able to win the Premier League this season, besides of course the main requirement for Arsenal to maintain their championship chances is to be able to perform Consistently especially towards the end of the season, and hope they will not make mistakes like last season which Appeared Inconsistent at the end of the season and making them lose the championship title in front of their eyes.
Arsenal have been one of the very consistent teams who’ve experienced growth in recent times and it’s a big commendation for them to still play and maintain their high win ratio over the past 2 seasons. This alone wouldn’t have been possible without hardwork and determination from both coaching team and the players. The board also loves the project and for that reason had the confidence to release out funds for the coach to aquire players and chase the target this season which is to win the league. They are currently leading the logs but it can’t be said if they’ll be able to achieve top success which is winning the league

 About last season they were runners up as they came pretty close but lost it all in the final minutes of rounding up the league. This is the very reason why the coach requested for some players and he was given funds approval to aquire. With 10 matches to go, Arsenal are sitting pretty on top the log, but we can’t be confident yet on if they’ll be able to win the league yet with the major and critical games they still have to play. This season’s epl race is sure one very competitive one as all the 3 top teams are having same number of points.

 Well i also want Man City dominance to end and that’s why I have high hopes on both Liverpool and Arsenal to be able to end the dominance. Arsenal were better last season as compared to this season and that’s why I’m not having much hopes on them yet.The tight fixtures will be one very big challenge for them and I actually wish they’ll be able to scale through the tight  fixtures and even try to finish above City. Well My major hope is on Liverpool because they seem real fiercer than Arsenal and out of the 3 clubs they’re the ones with less amount of games and for that I think the boys are real dedicated to achieving success for Jurgen.

The quality of Arsenal and Bayern does not have a significant difference this season and Arsenal is even a little more consistent this season compared to Bayern, but in the Champions League it is not just quality that matters but mentality has quite a big influence on a team's performance and Arsenal doesn't have that.
Not having experience and almost the entire squad being filled with young players, of course, means that the Arsenal team does not have a strong mentality.

Having to share focus between the Premier League and UCL is very difficult, but if one of them runs smoothly there will be a positive impact so it will be easy for the team to run the other, but if one of the competitions goes down then it is possible that both of them will go down because of the influence of mentality.
This is a tough task for Arteta, they already experienced it last season and we'll just have to wait and see whether Arteta can improve and improve this season.
The UCL Quater Final fixtures is going to be one very great fixture and this is what makes the competition a very unique one across Europe as it’s Europe’s elite competition. This competition has now being shaped to 8 teams and these teams are all doing greatly in their various leagues. To succeed in the UCL, you need to have an improved squad that has wide experience in the competition. This fixtures still comprises of teams that are on a very good level and it’ll be hard determining who goes through.

One of the fixture to look out is that of Arsenal and Bayern Munich as these teams are 2 teams are almost of similar but one has experience and though aren’t performing at top level whilst the other have less experience and are performing At a very top level. This is the case for Bayern Munich and Arsenal respectively. Arsenal seems to be the underdogs in this fixture because they’ve not really had a successful outing in the UCL against a team like Bayern as Bayern were the ones to eliminate them off the competition last 7-8 years. This kind of situation makes Arsenal look very less in this fixture.

 But you can’t be so sure as Bayern too on the other end have been very inconsistent this season and one can’t really rely on them to be able to out this Arsenal team. Arsenal are a young team and the players are very young and based on determination level they’re more determined than Bayern right now. Playing in both the UCL and chasing the epl title might be pretty difficult and at this point one can onnly rely on how tactical Arteta is as any mistake done will be saying bye bye to one of them or even both. Well with thi kind of pressure then I don’t think they’ll be able to achieve success. I think Bayern’s mentality will be pretty higher than Arsenal’s.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 20, 2024, 02:17:01 PM

Kylian Mbappe has been PSG's mainstay striker so far, so it's only natural that he scored a lot of goals with PSG, even at the end of his season with PSG, he just wants to show that he is the best player that PSG has and he remains professional in all situations without thinking about anything even at the end. Next season he will no longer be with PSG. Just like coach Jurgen Kloop, he wants to leave a good impression on Liverpool and be able to win a title, so does Mbappe who wants to leave a good impression before he leaves and he also wants to see PSG do better in the Champions League, a title that PSG really wants. Even though the chance is small, who knows, PSG will get a miracle, especially if their opponent will be Barcelona, where their performance is no longer as strong as before.

Currently Kylian Mbappe has recorded a record of 37 goals in all competitions which will soon reach 50 goals if Mbappe continues to score goals in the remainder of this season. He will be named the best striker in France this season, and maybe next season we don't know if Kylian Mbappe can score a lot of goals at the club he will work for because each league has a different level of difficulty. I can't imagine what would happen if PSG were without Mbappe next season, would PSG still perform like this in League 1.
When a player beats the expectations of many and is achieving indivisible records and hitting the limelight season in and out, he’s considered to be a very top player and is seen as a strong force to reckon with. One player that falls into this category is Kylian. The boy is young and has a World Cup trophy to his name and has also made sure he gets the media attention from the milestone of successes he achieves in every tournament he finds himself. These kind of players are real difficult to let go and it’s a sad one PSG will be losing him at this point.

 Kylian always wanted to achieve suceess and get individual accolades for himself which is one major reason he’s chasing his career in a bigger club, Real Madrid. He’s very dedicated to delivering for the club and country and this is one big characteristics of a winner. He’s their target man and has been in that position for a long time so it’s quite expected he attains that height but you can’t just go without noticing his efforts because you see how he carries the team generally and how poorly they perform when he’s absent.

 The next season without Kylian would to an extent be quite difficult for PSG. I like the face that Kylian is retiring on a very high note by him winning the highest goal scorer and the league’s best player. This is the same way Jurgen wants to leave Liverpool where he’s spent quite some time, on a very high note. PSG next season will be one team trying to find their feet especially if they’re not able to get one quick replacement for Kylian to be on a very top production level.

Diego Simeone had to rack his brains to organize a good squad to secure fourth place again. The defeat to Barcelona was clearly a blow because they lost important points. With the remaining matches becoming less and less, it really makes fans even more anxious. Yes, Atletico Madrid also has to share their concentration on the Champions League, I think with such a busy schedule it will be very difficult for Simeone to rotate players. However, I still believe that Los Cholchoneros will be able to get through that phase, because they have coaches and players who have a fighter's mentality during bitter times.
For Atletico, they've been relentless all time in all the face offs they've had, especially in the La Liga race. Their boss has been very much tactical and impactful and yearly he's been able to place the team at the rightest position that they ought to be. They've got confidences to finish the season properly considering the tenacity of impact they carry as a team and their evidence of performances so far too. The Spanish club though this season have been battling due to the effectiveness of little Girona.

 Now they're faced with the battles of finishing the season with an European cup ticket. And yes the possibility of it's occurrence is at the peak. Even though The second half of the season just got messy for Atletico Madrid. Even after trying all they could to keep the game in their favor or end it with a share of points, the second placed Girona who was also the host had to net in a fourth goal. The game was a serious contest, both sides were reselient and all they wanted was a victory. Atletico Madrid came ahead recently to gain back enough confidence after their win against Real Madrid.

 This is seemingly all they need to push ahead in subsequent games. They still have a few weeks to go and there's kinda  little time to come up on the league table. They can actually be effective enough to ensure that they acquire the needed result, they have what it takes both managerial and player wise coupled with experiences. Their UCL goal is enough push to revive their confidence in the final league games of the season. There's still an opportunity to finish the league in the right position as they desire.

It's really a shame for Nottingham Forest even though their performance has been bad lately, especially if they have to receive this bad news. Of course it will make their condition even more difficult and the players' mental state will definitely decline because they haven't had time to improve their performance and improve their position, now they have to accept this punishment, even though Nottingham Forest's current position is in 17th position, which means it is not yet safe from the relegation zone and if it receives this punishment it will fall directly into the relegation zone as Everton has experienced previously and it will have to fight hard if it wants to secure its position in the Premier League because it is still there is a chance for him to improve it because the points difference with Luton Town is not that big.

This is good news for clubs in the relegation zone, namely Luton Town and Everton, but bad news for Nottingham Forest. I hope that after receiving this punishment, Nottingham Forest can improve its performance and perform better to secure its position. Luton Town shouldn't be happy just yet, even though they are currently getting a golden opportunity, but if they don't immediately improve their performance then their position will still be unsafe. Apart from the competition at the top of the standings which is getting more exciting, it turns out that the Premier League also has competition to avoid the relegation zone which looks even more interesting to watch between Luton, Everton and also Nottingham Forest Grin
The battle for the EPL placement still keeps getting fiercer as teams are struggling in the top spot and also some teams struggling at the bottom of the table. We have some clubs that pointed were deducted from, and that way these clubs are now finding themselves in the relegation zone. Currently we have a phase in the Relegation zone with Nottingham now getting some points deduced and this will be a big win for Luton in their bid to still remain in the EPL. This point deduction have some great disadvantages on the clubs and have some major advantages on the clubs in the struggle.

 Everton and Luton are two teams that’ll be benefiting from this point deduction of Nottingham as it will place them in a comfortable position and also reduce the pressure on them to an extent. Everton on the other end need to be at their vest performance especially as we don’t know how many points might be deducted when the board meets. Nottingham too after this deduction needs to ay at their best else they’ll not be escaping relegation in any way. Luton on the end have been. Very poor and one can’t e so confident on how excellently they can perform this season.

 The competition at the top of the table is one great deed too that we all love to see, We’ll love to see how the title run goes down and see who wins the title at the long run. The Epl continues to be the most competitive league and with all this competition from left, right and centre, we are seeing evidently why this competition still remains the best in Europe. Currently the battle for the trophy and quest to come off the relegation zone is very fierce currently, let's fold our hands and watch how it goes.

In that round all the big teams came out victorious, starting with the Al Nassr game that played against Al Ahli, in that game Ronaldo's team managed to win thanks to a penalty that Ronaldo scored in the 68th minute, this was a game against a strong team of the league that currently occupies position number 3, so in my opinion it was a good result that Al Nassr achieved. With this victory, Al Nassr remains in number 2 position and with a distance of 12 points to reach Al Hilal, in my opinion it is already clear that Al Nassr will not be able to reach Al Hilal. This means that Ronaldo is in his second season at Al Nassr without being able to win the league. Next season will probably be the last for him to do this. I say this because at his age, next season he will start to get slower and won't help the team much on the field, but he will continue to bring profits to the club. If he has the objective of winning this league, then he should suggest to the club management that they hire a competent coach

al Hilal won the game against Dhamk. but once again there was a red card for Al Hilal's opponent, I find it very strange that many of Al Hilal's games have red cards and penalties, and what's even stranger is that these are games that always end in Al Hilal's victory . and see that they are legitimate penalties, they are not penalties in which the referee is wrong. On the contrary, the referees are right to award penalties and give red cards. So I've already wondered if it would be possible for Al Hilal's opponents to commit these fouls on purpose, but honestly I have a lot of doubts about this possibility. Maybe it's just luck that al hilal has had. fact is that al hilal will be champion

yesterday also played Al - Ittihad against Al Fate. it was a game that had 6 goals, with Al Fate managing to score 2 goals while Al - Ittihad scored 4 goals and managed to win the game even though they had 10 players because one of their players received a red card, benzema did not play because he was injured. but with so many rumors about him wanting to leave this Al - Ittihad team and this league, I see that these injuries are good for him not playing but this Al - Ittihad team did well in that game and they can do well without benzema
The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al-Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al-Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al-Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism.

 It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. Al-Nassr is one big team in the SPL that when fixed for a game, they've got some quantuble high chance of being victorious. I'd say for all teams in that league, it's kind of like Al-Hilal being the only team that may give Al-Nassr a tough time.

 There's still this confidence that they'd still be able to meet up and win the trophy this season. Although Al-Hilal is not a team that should be joked with, they're a good side too as Al-Nassr. Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al-Hilal and the other teams.  The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited, left for the i think Al- Hilal are superior this season and I believe they'll win the league this season.

The current 1 point gap between the three teams certainly indicates that this season we see a fierce competition for the championship, Arsenal are currently at the top and even when they are at the top they still cannot be favourites for the title, as you said, of course last season was a painful experience for Arsenal and the fans,  From the start of the season they continued to run by leaving the rival team but it was Manchester City who were able to reach the finish and disappointed Arsenal fans.

This season may not be different from last season, although Arsenal are now quite superior in the Premier League and even so far they are still consistent in every game they play, but their mentality often falls when facing crucial matches and even the depth of the squad that is not qualified often makes them also slip when they have to face a busy schedule,  If we look at Arsenal's journey so far, we can actually see if Arsenal is able to compete with big teams, but indeed if we pay attention sometimes it is Arsenal's own mistakes that often make them out of the championship competition so far.
Arsenal this season have been very competitive, they've being able to tactically gain good stands in their EPL games and even in the country cups and continental contests too. They've got the squad they need to compete at higher competitions but one would think if the squad is efficient enough to stand the final games heat. Mikel Arteta has been able to groom the boys up to possessing heavy talents and confidence they put forward in all of their encounters this season. Even with the big teams in the EPL.

 I won't be suprise if Arsenal shock everyone this season, they've been very impressive lately by scoring many goals in their recent matches and aso they've been able to mount series of pressure and yes they've made a name and an image of fury for themselves. The current arsenal isn't the old arsenal that's looked down on always. For Manchester City, their boss Pep is one good coach that has good foresight. His style of play, choice of players and combination of squad makes Manchester City formidable in all their displays.

 City themselves has a lot to offer in football, they're one team that are tough to encounter, this is because of Pep. How best can a team be with 3 different squads that are too good to face any rival. Even the youngsters are doing far better than old big Dawgs in other teams. The best thing that's ever happened to Manchester City is Pep Guardiola. Sometimes one would wonder if he'd be able to do these exploits with a different team, the answer is yes. We've seen his works in the clubs he's been before City and we've seen that he's the right man for any club's managerial position.

The unexpected meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the quarter-finals adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the competition. The outcome of this matchup will reduce the pool of title contenders, because this matchup lies in the fact that one of the tournament favorites will be eliminated at an earlier stage than anticipated. this intensifies the competition and raises the stakes for both teams. Both teams have arguably the best and strongest squads that makes their clash in the quarter-finals a highly anticipated event.

The fact that the two teams are the UCL Champions in last two seasons makes it difficult to predict which team will emerge victorious and progress to the semifinals. Both teams have demonstrated their ability to overcome formidable opponents and deliver under pressure. Mentality will become a significant factor to determine how the game will go and the result will be. Their clash will captivate fans worldwide and showcase the highest level of competition on the continental stage.
The meeting in the UCL is always having its high value and expectations and these 2 teams are the major oppositions for the UCL title this season. A lot expected to see them in the final stages but it’s quite going to be more fun to see them in the group stage phase. However just like last season, everybody's expectations would be on Manchester City based on the scoreline of the previous season, but Madrid's squad have improved and it's going to be a tough battle on the pitch.

 The UCL holds many expectations and surprises and we’ll be seeing one big match in this fixture. Both of the teams are on a very good level and you can’t compare on to one as each of them have their strengths amd weaknesses. Man City were able to thrash Madrid last seaso due to the hunger but right now this season, you can’t see that much hunger in the team and you can say how much the young Madrid squad is hungry. Did I say young, well yes young because most of them haven’t won a UCL with his madrid side and they’ll want to write their names in the history book of the club.

 Anyone able to win between this 2 clubs will be seen as favorites for the UCL trophy because no other club seems to come close to them in terms of performance as they’re both playing on a very high level. This fixture is adding value and excitement to the UCL a d we can’t wait to see how the battle goes down. The competition between both teams are fierce and I think the best team thT wins is the one the coach doesn’t make too much of an experiment in terms if tactics of the day for the club.

If Bayern Munich fails to take the first place then the 2nd or 3rd position is not a problem because it's the same as they get a ticket to the Champions League, Bayern Munich will focus more on the match in the Champions League against Arsenal, here they still have hope rather than competing in the Bundesliga because it is certain that Bayern Leverkusen win the title this season. It is unfortunate when Harry Kane came as the best striker but they could not compete with Leverkusen.

Regarding the match in the Champions League against Arsenal, it cannot be predicted because both teams play with 2 legs, Arsenal could have defeated Bayern Munich in the first leg and Bayer Munich defeated Arsenal in the second leg well in this scenario, aggregate goals will determine and we don't know who scored more goals. Harry Kane is certainly reliable because he understands how to playing in the Premier League.
 
 The quarter final games have been drawn, now it's seeming like a reincarnating battle. The rivalry continues and it all seems unpredictable. The odds for team qualifications are a bit difficult to predict as  the game only gets tougher now and a lot has to be put into consideration without neglecting how different the performance may turn out on the field of play. PSG will battle out with Barcelona, Arsenal with Munich, Real Madrid with City and Atletico with Dortmund.

 The toughest game of these schedules would have been all except for Munich and Arsenal but as it stands, Arsenal still has a shot against this German side considering how poor Munich have been in passing weeks and then Arsenal giving their all to their games. Though they've not had a good UCL record, so in records, Munich stands a chance. So comparing both teams, it's just best to leave the decision to be decided on the pitch. Real Madrid and City are title contenders too in their respective leagues, UCL title is as well their natural aim and so one of them would have to surrender it off at this stage of the competition.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.Munich's performance has been lingering far behind their usual tempo which is odd for them. Their journey to the most appropriate spot this season is threatened and no one is certain that they'll be able to scale through. Their performance is far less than encouraging too.
718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 19, 2024, 05:35:52 PM

Juventus lost their balance so they can no longer put pressure on Inter Milan like at the start of the season and even now they have to lose their position in second place because in the last 3 matches they couldn't win and that gave Ac Milan the opportunity to overtake them. and AC Milan managed to take advantage of that very well.
Actually, things like this are what a team is worried about, yes, they will experience a decline at the end of the season and that will make them unable to compete anymore. Juventus experienced this this season which made them have to give up the title this season. However, they also still have to focus, because even though they cannot become champions, at least they can be in the top 4 of the standings at the end of the season and win a ticket to go to the Champions League next season. Their current position is not completely safe, so they have to keep giving their best, especially to win again after they failed to get it in the last few matches. I'm sure they can secure their position in the top 4 of the standings.
For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect player's physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.

 At the same level time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests. They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are no longer faced with the European contest and so for inter Milan and Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Against Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan did well to stay in the game but it wasn't just well enough to help them advance in the contest. They've gained enough grounds this season and it's profitable to them considering how well and useful their position has been and will be for them in subsequent games and seasons too.

Ronaldo has spent most of his time in the European league and that is enough for Cristiano Ronaldo because he has won many trophies there, now is the time for other players to be given the opportunity to become superstars like him, after all, if Ronaldo returns to the European league, the quality of his game will definitely be different, not as before. Despite his good performance in the Saudi League, these two leagues have different levels of difficulty. Players of Ronaldo's age are rarely used as regular players because their performance is no longer as strong as when they were young. There are times when older players are replaced by young players who have stronger stamina, so it's not a good idea if Ronaldo returns to the European league at the age of almost 40. .

Being in the Saudi League is the right choice for him while waiting for his time to retire, and he also gets a big salary there and that can be an allowance for his retirement later, besides he also feels comfortable being at Al Nassr even though he hasn't gotten any titles there but at least he There is still a chance of getting it next season if the manager is able to improve the club's performance and can improve its performance next season so that it can win the title and compete with Al Hilal.
The Saudis visionized the benefit of Ronaldo in their league and ever since his arrival he's helped the league to be a focus for fans too. He was the first international signing for the league and other players have been seeing reasons why SPL should be considered in their next transfers. The league itself are eager to expand more as they have eyes on quality stars all around Europe. Ronaldo made wave at his first game in the league and he's been doing exceedingly well. Al-Nassr recorded a huge increase in the normal of views they have on their social media handles at the instant his signing was complete.

  No doubt, there's what they call "the Ronaldo effect". Ronaldo a world star helped SPL grow in recognition and SPL are playing their part in ensuring that they keep that track of recognition and focus.Ronaldo, the G.O.A.T and his unwavering display of goal scoring abilities, skillfulness, agility and strength which generally goes contrary to every activity his age can be able to carry out. Age is not a hindrance to him, he works hard to keep himself active and truthfully, there's every possibility that he'd take part in the next world cup cos he's just got all it'd take. He'd definitely look far younger than his age by then as well.

 So in essence, age won't deprive him as long as he wants it to happen, he can work towards it, it's just for him to keep his body shape, he's just got all it takes so the task won't be so bulky on him. The world cup is just in 3years, that's not so much time to say that he'd loose his shape and form of professional football. He makes football seem like his hobby cos he strives to keep on going with it. Yes a day for his retirement would come but it's very highly possible that 2026 world cup would go on with Ronaldo and his Portuguese internationals with him.

Dortmund really took advantage of the last 10 minutes to win over Frankfurt, Mats Hummels added a goal in the 81st minute so that the score was 2:1. Not only that, Emre Can also increased the total goals to 3:1 in the 90+3 minute with a penalty so that the victory Dortmund is increasingly convincing and Frankfurt failed to get 1 point in this match, while Dortmund managed to maintain full points so that Dortmund's position returned to the top 4, but Dortmund should not be happy just yet because Leipzig is still aiming for the top 4 position because the difference in points between the two clubs is not too far and There is only a difference of 1 point, therefore Dortmund must not waste time in the remainder of this season and continue to get full points to widen the gap with Leipzig and secure a place in the Champions League next season.

But Dortmund's challenge in the next match is quite tough, he will face Bayern Munich and he will come as a guest, of course this is not easy for Dortmund and we also all know that Bayern Munich's performance is very strong at home. But a surprise can still happen even though the chances are small for Dortmund. To be honest this is also quite confusing on the other hand I support Dortmund to be in the top 4 but if they face Bayern Munich and lose then this is an opportunity for Leipzig in the next match against Mainz if Leipzig wins then Dortmund's position will be shifted to 5th place Sad
Dortmund hosted Frankfurt in the final match of the Gameweek in the Bundesliga and they got a late victory ending the match with a scoreline of 3-1. Dortmund had a shaky start and they were punished by their ex player. Mario Gotze got the first goal and gave Frankfurt the lead quite early. He put the ball in the net from a rebound the keeper saved. He had a quiet celebration as a sign of respect to his former club. Well i love the fact that Dortmund didn't give up easily but still fought back to secure the 3 points.

 Borrusia Dortmund took charge of the game and continued setting the tone despite being a goal down. Adeyemi got the equalizer and things became balanced in the match.The draw went on till the final 10 minutes were Dortmund was able to get 2 additional goals from open play and penalty spot to hand them a 3-1 win over Frankfurt. Hummels had a goal to his name and Emre Can was able to put in the ball form the penalty spot. This is a good win for Borussia Dortmund cause it would help boost the UCL chance next summer.

 Borussia Dortmund is just a point away from Liepzig who sits in 5th and are aiming at playing in the UCL next season. This means Dortmund is more pressured to have maximum points in the remaining matches. Next is Bayern Munich andI think with the right mindset Dortmund can be able to do harm to this Bayern Munich on the other end, Munich will be going to steal all 3 points. All these taken into consideration, I don’t think the match will go past a draw as both teams have the strength and capacity to take on each other.
