Lazio v Inter, Juventus v Roma and Fiorentina v Napoli are the next three big matches that are very interesting to wait for, regardless of who is the favorite they all have a chance to win or will only end with the same score. Maybe with the exception of Napoli, it looks like Napoli do have a better chance of winning. As for Inter, for some reason I personally feel that Lazio have the ability to withstand attacks from Inter, moreover this is a home match for Lazio which I am sure Lazio will play with high discipline at least for one point it is good enough.
I think the match that becomes difficult to predict and worth watching is Juventus VS Roma.
I think both teams have their own tactics. I believe this is a match that is much awaited by all football fans in Italy, this match I think will get a draw between Roma and Juventus with a score of 0-0.
Roma's condition is now quite good making this a real threat to Juventus.
I still see that Juventus is still the favorite but with the current condition of Rome it is still quite difficult to predict, especially with the condition of the two teams which were quite good at the beginning of this season.
I think this will be a narrow victory for one of the teams even though the chances of a draw are still very large.
Roma this year is not only dangerous for Juventus (I could be offended as a Juventus fan) but also for Milan, Inter and Napoli.
We remember that he had a good reinforcement campaign and that they are happy with the previous season. They are loaded with strength

Roma's performance is yet to be predicted. Their gameplay was good in the first few matches. Although they won by only 1 goal. However, Roma are considered favorites to win the title this season due to their match strategy and excellent bonding between the players. However, Roma's attack is still somewhat weak. If Mourinho is unable to strengthen Roma's attack, Roma will fall behind in the title race.

An easy win makes them even more difficult to beat now because with this result from 3 matches they have created 15 goals and only conceded the ball once.
The champions have been decided again for this season.
As the previous season, there is no challenging club in Bundesliga. It seems that the dominance of Munich is still very infleuncing. Munich has great players in every line. although they may not be all super stars of football in the worldwide, but the players can relaly play very optimally in everymatch
That's right, it's difficult to make things happen instantly and indeed Bayern's dominance will continue until there is a team that can really make a breakthrough in terms of quality and players.
Now Bayern will still be running alone considering that until now there has been no sign of other teams being able to match Bayern, especially at this time Dortmund are in poor condition.
Bayern Munich is currently the only team that is considered very strong in the Bundesliga, both in terms of squad and financially, and it is difficult for other teams to compete with Bayern Munich at this time if they don't have strong finances like Bayern Munich, indeed currently in the Bundesliga there is also Dortmund but In terms of strength and finances, they are still far below Bayern Munich, it is difficult for other teams to be able to stop the dominance of Bayern Munich if there is no other team that has the ability and financially equal to or above Bayern Munich later.

Bayern Munich is very strong financially. At the same time they don't change their match strategy much. So team players are able to consistently perform well. The Bundesliga has several strong teams like Dortmund and Leipzig. But they don't spend much money on squad formation. And so they are far behind in the title fight against Bayern Munich. These teams will not be able to break Bayern's dominance unless they build a squad with star players.

Erik ten Hag was under fire after two dreadful performances in the first few weeks as the club's lack of transfer activity became a hot topic.

The resounding victory over Liverpool seemed to have lessened the pressure a little, but the Dutchman is still anxious for the team to bring in a few more players before the transfer window shuts.

Manchester United team still has many weaknesses. And Erik Ten Hag needs new talented players to stabilize his squad. Ronaldo is not playing well in the forward, so Ronaldo is not seen in the starting XI against Liverpool. Moreover, the United team's defense is quite weak. They conceded four goals against a team as weak as Brentford. So Ten Hag should try to get experienced defenders on the team.

Same as what happened with England in the previous match is gonna happen with South Africa this match. From the very beginning pacers are in attacking form and have taken wickets. By the time batsmen should've made some plans to withstand and develop partnership. South Africa have ended the first innings at 151 runs. Right now England is trail by 61 runs after 22 overs losing 3 wickets.

England trailed by just 40 runs at the end of the first day. The English collected 111 runs by losing 3 wickets. England's batsmen will be able to collect more than 250. The England team suffered a humiliating defeat in the first match. In this match, the English will take revenge for the previous defeat. I won't be surprised if England wins by an innings.

In terms of the quality they currently have, of course, PSG will have no difficulty in Ligue 1 because no other team can compete with it.
and for the Champions League I think PSG this season is much stronger than the previous season and it is very likely that they will be able to go further in the Champions League stage even if we look at the players in their squad that deserve to be counted as champion candidates.

PSG are favorites to win the Champions League title if they can continue the way they have started this season. But if they slowly lose form, or a key player suffers a long-term injury, it will be very difficult for PSG to perform well in the Champions League. After watching the performance of PSG for a few more days, it will be possible to estimate how much PSG is eligible for the Champions League.

Barcelona is a big name in football, playing rarely there and wait for a chance to substitute an injured player to play more is better than playing as a main player for some people..
The wage story is true and the best example is de Jong. He owes Barcelona a lot of money that was cut from his salary during Covid-19 and that the club will not pay it back if he leaves Barca. That's why he insisted to stay, among other reasons obviously.
I don't think De Jong decided to stay at Barcelona just because of the money owed. He is in Barcelona because he loves the team and he has adapted very well with the players. Manchester United wanted to sign De Jong by paying all his outstanding wages. However, De Jong did not accept the offer. He could have fetched higher wages from Manchester United if he wanted.
Generally there is several reasons for any decisions taken. Financial ones are important but achievements, boosting carriers, having the honor to play in top team and under the management of a good coach are crucial too.
BTW I am aware by the offer of ManU except accepting to pay what Barca owes him.

It is true that Barcelona does owe de Jong some money, but I have no idea how much the amount is. As a matter of fact, it does seem to me that staying in Barcelona at the moment is much better than going to Manchester United at this very moment. I also believe that if he had been willing to go to another team, he would have found a much better team compared to Manchester United if he had been willing to leave.

The problem with Manchester United in the past was the management of the club, most of the players were not happy with the coach and the management so the player lost their motivation and which affected their performance in the last season.

But with the recent few changes in the club things are beginning to have a new look and with their performance against Liverpool on Monday it points to one fact Manchester United is ready to reclaim their past glory but a lot needs to be done in that direction.
It's too early to draw conclusions from one match, but there are positive moments, the players are giving their best on the field, which means that ten Hag managed to find an approach to the players. The dissatisfied remained on the bench, while the motivated ones won the match. The next test will be for Manchester United away from Southampton, this match will show who is worth what, because Southampton can make anyone nervous, especially at home. If Manchester United can win, then we can say that Manchester United is fine.

You are right, Manchester United has won just one match. It is not yet clear that they are back in form. Liverpool's squad lacked their key players. However, despite a win against Liverpool, it will not be easy for Manchester United to win against Southampton. Southampton has played very well in their last two matches. It looks like they will be able to continue this streak in the home match against the United.

Yes indeed, Dinamo Zagreb has a chance to qualify but Bodo/Glimt itself cannot be underestimated at all. The home factor for Dinamo Zagreb does have a good effect on them, at the same time Bodo/Glimt for European tournaments don't seem so good when they play away and it's very different when they play in the local league. So yes, the point is that Dinamo Zagreb should not underestimate the opponent, the fact that playing at home makes Dinamo Zagreb have a very good chance to qualify.
After they have already lost the first game, they definitely understand that their opponent is strong and will prepare well for the match. Dynamo Zagrub and PSV look like favorites today, both need a win and Zagreb won't even be enough just to win, they need more than one goal win to qualify for the group stage, if it's will a minimum win then there will be extra time. I wonder what PSV will choose, attacking football or a game with an emphasis on defense? But PSV is superior to their opponent, they must win at home.
About PSV, they got a difficult opponent but even so, PSV still looks fine, at least its performance in the local league proves that PSV still has a chance to qualify. That way, I personally have no doubts about PSV and Dinamo Zagreb because I included both of them in the parlay bet, although indeed, there will always be strong resistance from the away team. Moreover, these two home teams at least need to win and continue to score goals when they get a chance, because playing defensively or maintaining their advantage will only make them lose their chance to qualify.

PSV looks to win today. PSV's squad is quite strong compared to Rangers. Besides, PSV players are in great form now. However, it will not be easy for Dinamo Zagreb to win today. Bodo Glimt is perhaps not a renowned group. However, their performance in home matches was good. And so if Bodo Glimt can draw today's match then they can qualify for the next round.

I'd like to remind you of their last league match here. Galatasaray could have really won if they were able to keep their 2-0 advantage. Now they don't have problems on finding many goal opportunities but there is some issue with finishing. But they might still be able to defeat Trabzonspor this time if they catch them off guard.

There is no consistency in Galatasaray's performance. They have won two matches this season though. But they scored only two goals in 3 matches. On the other hand, Trabzonspor is not as strong as the previous season. Their defense is weak. If Galatasaray's players can take advantage of this weak defense, Galatasaray has a chance to win.

I don’t think it’s only the stardom. Virat Kohli is generally a very good player and one of the best in the world. Maybe the selectors are still thinking that if there is a slight chance he might come back to form, the electors are probably wanting to take that chance. If this was anyone else obviously he would have been dropped from the team. But Virat Kohli is a very trusted person for the selectors. Probably that is the reason why they are still keeping him chance after chance.
At this point, Virat Kohli is the player with the most star value within the Indian national team. Dropping him won't be easy, as he has perhaps the largest fanbase for any sports player in India. As I mentioned earlier, the best option for the selectors would be to give Kohli an "extended break". In this case, Kohli's ego won't be hurt and the selectors won't have to worry about his form as well. On the other hand, if he gets dropped from the team then he may feel humiliated. In that case he may retire from international cricket in protest and that may not be something that the selectors want to face.

If the BCCI wanted to humiliate him I think they would have done that already as they had a lot of chances to do that as well. But I don’t think BCCI has any intention like that. They also know Virat Kohli is an asset to the team. So they are trying to do everything possible so that they can handle this situation smoothly. Virat Kohli has already been told to take a break. To which I’m quite sure he didn’t agree. But if he continues to play like this at a point he will eventually be dropped from the team. And if he is the person who has at least a little self-respect, he’s not going to protest that.

I appreciate the transparency and honesty of the analysis. As much as we respect him, his aggressive approach to cricket brought a more confident approach to his team, but he is experiencing a hard time right now. It's understandable why he's being criticized because those expect that he won't be like Kohli from 2016-2019. Dropping him is a normal process that his well-wishers may accept. To continue in your career, you need to perform. How long will your stardom keep you in the spotlight? Selectors' decisions should not be influenced by anyone.

It was the first time Qatar had the opportunity to open this match for the first time, but I think it's a natural thing when a football match is played somewhere for sure the first match is against the hosts and so on will be followed by other clubs. I think Qatar already knows this and accepts it whether it's a win or a loss. His biggest hope is to get a win and advance to the next round.
Apart from that all this can also be a pretty important lesson for Qatar if they are serious about football.
They are now a club that is not seeded in anything other than the advantage of their hosts, but in this case that doesn't mean they can't play but their quality is still below the average team competing in the current world cup.

It is obvious that they are not going to perform very well in the World Cup. The only reason they are playing in the actual World Cup is that they are hosting one. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to actually qualify for the World Cup.

But now they have got themselves playing in the World Cup should be determined to prove a point which is to wait time until they can get better. I am not expecting any surprises but it would be better if they can perform well in the future of them.

In the game Sevilla - Valladolid the hosts are the clear favorite and any result other than the victory of Sevilla will surprise me. In today's second match, Espanyol vs Vallecano, it's harder to pinpoint the favorite and I think the most likely result is a draw.
For the match between Sevilla and Valladolid I am also more confident that Sevilla will win the match although surprising things are still very possible in that match. But for the Espanyol vs Vallecano match, I still prefer Espanyol to win the match even though it is also possible for Vallecano to win in that match because Vallecano has also played in a draw in the previous match this season.

In the match between Sevilla and Real Valladolid, Sevilla is definitely the favorite. First of all, this is Sevilla's home match. In the home match they will try their best not to lose points. However, Sevilla drew 1-1 in the last 3 matches against Real Valladolid. If they want to win today, Sevilla will have to play attacking from the start of the match and keep trying to score goals. I believe Sevilla will not make any mistakes today and will be able to get full points.

Currently one of the hottest favorites in the France league is PSG But PSC have won the first two matches of this season by huge margins. Neymar and Messi have contributed the most behind the victory in this mess This beautiful win was made possible by the wonderful dribbling of both of them and the beautiful understanding between the two I think they will always continue their winning streak Best of luck to PSG, hope they do better in future matches

This season PSG has got off to a great start. We have seen Messi and Neymar bonding since the first match of the season. But Mbappe is not playing well. He can't adjust himself to Messi and Neymar. Its bad effect will be seen in the team after a few days. Mbappe should be more friendly.

Shubham Gill must be learning a new reality in international cricket that how hard to get his first international ton.
In 17 intl matches across 2 formats (test-odi) he came close to magic figure of 100 3 times but poor guy can't break the curse. Got out on 91 at Gabba. Got stuck at 98 when rain ruined his party against Windies and against Zim well there wasn't much to chase.
Well.. at least he got a chance to bat. Sanju Samson fans are furious that he didn't got an opportunity to showcase his batting skills. Zimbabwe seems to be the weakest team in the ODI super league, and they seems to be in a worse condition when compared to both Ireland and Netherlands. In case of the Dutch, at least they have the excuse that most of their regular players are away for county cricket (and despite that they gave a good fight against Pakistan in the first ODI). Zimbabwe doesn't have any such excuse. Their performance was pathetic.
In the first ODI against Zimbabwe, India won the match by a wicket The opening batted so well that India won the match against Zimbabwe by 10 wickets without the fall of any wicket. However, in the second match against India, Zimbabwe may plan and enter the field. However, there are several batsmen for India who have not been able to bat against Zimbabwe so far One of them could be Sanju Samsung. I think he will do well for the team if he gets a chance to bat against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe needed to score at least 300 runs to win against India. Because, India may be playing with their second-tier team, but they still have a lot of talented batsmen on the team. On the other hand, the Zimbabwean team has very few experienced batsmen. And so it is very difficult for Zimbabwe to give a target of big runs against India.

South Africa is running riot at Lord's!

Surprisingly it started with Keshav Maharaj and now Anrich Nortje broke through English's middle order.

The way momentum is going on this match is going to end today. England is 6 down and still trailing like 70-ish runs, Proteas would love a inning win here.
Few days back many were feeling in this season England is going to be stayed undefeated with seven wins at home against teams like New Zealand, India and South Africa but suddenly as we wake up England were playing like trash and now on verge of losing this match by an inning which could be the biggest shock for cricket fans around the world after their amazing last four wins.
England is definitely going to lose this match. I would say it will be a humiliating defeat for England, unless any miracle happens. England has now collected 115 runs after losing 6 wickets. Stuart Broad is collecting 19 and Stokes is able to collect 9 runs. England is still trailing by 46 runs. The way England is batting, there is no guarantee whether they will be able to collect these 46 runs.

Your prediction is true now. England was defeated by an innings. England lost all wickets by 149 runs. They scored 165 runs in the first innings. I never imagined that I will see such bad batting from England at Lord's. The batsmen should have batted more responsibly in the second innings.

I think there could be some substitution of the DLS system right now. we have come a long way since that DLS system was introduced. I know that the DLS system has been revised probably a couple of times but I really think it is a bit outdated right now. I obviously realize that the earlier system Brought the target of 22 runs from 13 balls to 22 runs from 1 ball. and if I am not wrong DLS was introduced almost right after that. so it has been a long time and I think  this matter needs to be seriously looked into
DLS was revised once or twice after it was introduced. At this point, it is the most unbiased system available. And they do modify the DLS targets based on the results from completed matches. And regarding the 5th match between Ireland and Afghanistan, I don't know why everyone is just assuming that Afghanistan could have scored a lot of runs in the final 5 overs. It could have gone just the opposite way. Ireland pacers were in very good form and they could have wrapped up the Afghan middle and lower order quickly.

Afghanistan had 5 wickets in hand and that is certainly enough for the last 5 overs in my opinion. I think they could have at least pushed for 130/135. That wouldn't have made a big difference when the DLS method stepped in though. But if this was a match of whole 40 overs I think Afghanistan would have had a better chance because they have very good bowlers. And if they had the time they also might have the capability of making a comeback in this match. But yes that never happened and we all just guess. The reality is is Afghanistan lost the series to Ireland which I thought shouldn't have happened.
739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 18, 2022, 05:34:18 PM
First of all, I really think that the DLS method should be revised. I believe Afghanistan was going to make some big shots and get some quick runs in the end but the rain interruption was really bad for them. The interruption came at a bad time. I really don’t understand how Afghanistan could have won the match when Ireland is only needing to score 56 runs in seven overs and they have all the 10 wickets in hand. In the end, I would say that it was easy for Ireland. And certainly not a finish that a lot of people wanted to see, at least I wanted to see a good finish to this series.

Can't agree with you here. DLS is the best we have as of now. It is much better than the earlier system, which resulted in South Africa being set a target of 21 runs from 1 ball back in 1992 World Cup (original target was 22 runs from 13 balls, and it was revised to 21 from 1 after the rain interruption). I found DLS quite neutral. There may be one-off incidents where fans are not happy with the outcome. For yesterday's match, I find no issue with the revised target. Afghanistan was in a bad situation after losing 5 wickets and Irish bowlers were bowling tightly.

I think there could be some substitution of the DLS system right now. we have come a long way since that DLS system was introduced. I know that the DLS system has been revised probably a couple of times but I really think it is a bit outdated right now.

The match was not played in 20 overs. Ireland was given a target of only 56 runs in 7 overs. And you guessed right. Ireland won the match. Ireland won the 5-match series against Afghanistan 3-2. This is a great achievement for the Ireland cricket team. I hope they will play better in the upcoming series.

I was watching it live on Fancode, but then the rain interruption happened. After that I lost interest. I checked the scorecard and I could see that it was a close match. Target of 56 could have been easy for Ireland, but they managed to make it complicated. And they should be really worried about the poor form of both of their openers (Paul Stirling & Andy Balbirnie). These two are considered as their best batsmen, but looks out of form for a while. The middle order on the other hand is looking good (Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector and George Dockrell).

First of all, I really think that the DLS method should be revised. I believe Afghanistan was going to make some big shots and get some quick runs in the end but the rain interruption was really bad for them. The interruption came at a bad time.
