721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 08, 2023, 03:57:24 PM
Will Leverkusen next week remain strong in the match against VfB Stuttgart later, because Stuttgart was in their best performance in the previous week, this will be a fierce battle in the next match, of course both teams don't want to lose points in the next match, Of course, if Leverkusen loses, of course Bayern Munich will be in first place, if they win against Eintracht Frankfurt then their points will remain the same, namely 35 points. Leverkusen only lost on goal difference, if Stuttgart wins the next match of course the points will be narrower (smaller) with a difference of 2 points. Of course, if the difference in points between teams gets smaller, the opportunity is wide open for anyone to win the league this year.


The match between Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart will be extremely difficult because VfB Stuttgart has also shown strong play in some of their games. The only reason I have the confidence to predict that Leverkusen will win is that they have played exceptionally well this season; they haven't lost to any team, are undefeated, and are currently leading the Bundesliga league. Bayern Munich has also played well, but Leverkusen's performance has won over many hearts. If they continue to play well in every league they are playing this season, they will win the title league.

Dortmund - Leipzig is likely to be a very competitive game this week. Dortmund aren't even shown as the favourite side to win the game but the gap of odds to win is really low. I still think Dortmund are one step ahead home though. Their home performance in the season so far has been much more impressive to me compared to Leipzig's away performance.

Dortmund have been on a really bad streak recently. But we could still consider their last two results in the league as good. Because they won against Gladbach and stole one point from Leverkusen away. I think Dortmund will win this game as well by one goal.

This is another big match of the week in the Bundesliga, but from what I can tell, Dortmund can win. Dortmund is the favourite team, and unless Leipzig wins, Dortmund will still win the league title. Dortmund is one of the best teams in the league, and they have many talented players who can still win the league title. I know that Leipzig is playing well and leads the league, but Dortmund is such a formidable opponent that any team that wants to play them must be very serious. If anyone wants to bet on the game, I would advise anyone to simply bet on both teams to score.

Quite an interesting fixture in the bundesliga this weekend between Dortmund and RB liepzig, more especially because both sides aren't really predictable at the moment,  sometimes you see Dortmund playing well,winning away from home and the next match they are either loosing or dropping points when you least expect, for liepzig it's really hard to tell when and where they will win, because sometimes you see them leading their opponents and before the end of the game you get disappointed by the result, so as for this match I don't think I can say either Dortmund nor liepzig will win the match, but I can say it's gonna be a great game.

What term retirement usually denotes to is, to stop working. People often don't like job, so to retire usually tends to be on top of the list. However, if one likes what he does, he will do something similar to pass the time even after retirement.

Now, I'll be honest, I dunno what I am driving at but I wanted to spark topic about retirement. Now, you go,

Well in the ordinary, retirement sounds like it's game over for an individual but I think there is more to life than waking up everyday and just going to your place of work as a routine. There are some fundermental factors that keeps the individual going even after retirement, now if you have been working in a Government or private organization where you served for decades and it comes to the point where you are ready for retirement, it becomes an opportunity for the individual to explore new horizons, take on new adventures or endeavours that will add value to him or her in the future, because retirement is not tiredness, you could be a consultant in your field of expertise because of the wealth of experience you've gathered over the years.

~snip~
Man City defeat yesterday really disappointed the fans and bettors, whereas I saw that there were no problems in this team, everything looked fine, but for some reason the performance dropped drastically, 3 losses, 3 draws in all matches this season. the point difference is very far from the top of the standings dominated by Arsenal at the moment and it is possible that history will be broken by Arsenal this season to get the EPL title because from 15 matches Man City already has a very large point difference with Arsenal and if this is only because Guardiola is focused in the UCL it makes little sense because last season Man City was able to perform very well defending the title in several competitions.

If in the next match and so on, Man City returns to its best performance, I think it will probably be like last season, but if it still has a bad performance, it will be difficult to reach the top of the standings.
Because of Manchester City's performance of not being able to win matches as they ought to, doesn't mean they are not going to bounce back. What they are doing now, they did it last season by losing to small clubs nobody expected and in the end, they found their form and later won the PL trophy.

It would be a terrible thing for any club coach to think of writing Manchester City off from not lifting the 2023/2024 Premier League title. Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, and other coaches can't try it because Pep Guardiola can leave them surprised by the performance and tactics his players will come up with by next year to the end of the season.

Even though I have a little doubt about Manchester City lifting the PL title this season, that doesn't stop me from in believing the capability of Pep Guardiola of what he can do. He can change the whole atmosphere of his team to become formidable again. He can fix his team even though their attention is divided to focus on their Champions League matches more or Premier League

It's been a very unusual season for Manchester city in this campaign and I don't think they have had it this bad since pep guadiola came into the team as head coach having lost 3 games and drawn 3 and also conceding a large number of goals, though they are doing great in the champions league which looks like they are more interested in the UCL more than the premier league, this season though I can't write them off  at the moment hence the point difference is not that large as to make any team give up yet. Manchester city seem to have some problems defensively because they seem not to coordinated at the back which is causing them alot of problems already.

However, Girona, who now appears confident unlike last season, is now certain to want to replace Real Madrid. and of course the goal is to become champion this season.
Girona becoming Laliga champions is not impossible, but it will be very difficult because they are competing with teams that can be said to always dominate in this league every season.
Girona failed when they faced Real Madrid even though it was a home match for them, so what about when they face Barcelona, my prediction is that if they can make a surprise in the match by beating Barcelona then that will be enough to lift the confidence of the Girona squad to perform even better when facing other strong teams such as Atletico Madrid, and doubts about Girona will begin to diminish because slowly they can prove that their current position is not the result of luck but excellent teamwork.
Given their big opponents, their season has been exceptional. They struggled against Real Madrid at home, but thats just one game. When they play Barcelona, they can change everything. Defeating Barcelona would strengthen the team's and fans' confidence. Its about showing they can compete with the best, not just the points. Their impressive performance versus Valencia shows they're not lucky - they're skilled and team-oriented. Who knows if they can continue this momentum into the Barcelona game and beyond? This season may have a new champion!

I really don't see Girona lifting the laliga title, in as much as I wouldn't want to talk down on any team owing to the fact that sometimes wonders do happen in football just like in case of Leicester city in the premier league some years ago, but I still do not envisage Girona winning it, perhaps it's still too early to decide because there are many game to go and many more big teams to play against and I doubt if they are going to beat any one of these big teams like Barca, Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid, real Sociedad, or Sevilla even if they are in a poor form at the moment.

Everton Vs Newcastle
In today's match, Everton will look to use their home advantage to build on their recent success and secure another crucial win. However, Newcastle's win against Manchester United will also boost their morale and it won't be easy for Everton. It could be a tough fight, but Everton will be determined to come out on top. I predict a narrow 1-0 win for Newcastle in this match. Both teams have shown defensive weaknesses, but I expect Newcastle to overcome this and continue their push for a top-four finish.
The game between this both team is really going to be tough.I know Newcastle have been good since last season,but they are a little inconsistent this season because they have dropped performance and that has made Aston Vila take their place in the top four.It is surprising to see Aston Villa grow to be the next next team competing with the big teams in the premier league this season,and they showed that by winning Manchester City last night.They are very solid defensively and are also very attacking minded too.
In today's game between Everton and Newcastle,I still think Newcastle has the strength to win because they are in a better shape than Everton at the moment,but Everton are really going to make it tough for them.

I expect to see a very interesting but tight match between Newcastle and Everton tonight though Newcastle have enjoyed some good spell recently by getting a draw from Paris and also beating Manchester united in the EPL, so I expect them to win this one tonight but I don't think it's gonna be a walk in the park for them due to the fact that Everton would have the home advantage and would seek to stop Newcastle from taking home all 3 points at the goodison park  tonight.

Seriously, the match will be an interesting one, but the match will be kind of difficult to predict from the way the two clubs have not really been consistent. I am not expecting a draw from the match, am expecting a win from one team, the match will be a difficult one for the two clubs, but let's see if Chelsea will be able to win the match. Chelsea have not been consistent, but I still see Chelsea as a better team than Manchester United. The match has just started, so let's see how the two clubs will perform in the first half of the match.

So far, Manchester United seems to be the team that’s pressing ahead in hopes for a goal. They’ve had a good start and some good chances as well to score goals. If they keep at it and don’t relent on the pressure, they’re sure to score and I think a goal isn’t far ahead.
Manchester United had been given a penalty and was saved by Chelsea’s goalie, Sanchez. This was United’s first good chance of scoring a goal and coming in front in this game and with Bruno Fernandes missing the penalty kick, they’ve thrown the chance away.
Manchester united is misusing their opportunity as Bruno lost the penalty which would have given Manchester united the lead. The game might change soon in favor of Chelsea and if Chelsea make proper use of their opportunity, they might net the post.

Manchester united is missing good opportunity as Chelsea goalkeeper is depriving them from scoring with his brilliant saves. Currently, Manchester united is in possession of the game.

Mc Tominay has finally broken the deadlock on the 19th minutes with a good finish after so many attempt.

Bruno missing that penalty awarded was obvious, he was standing so relaxed as if he won't Miss it. though Manchester united have been able to see the back of the net from a beautiful goal from the 18 yard box from mcTominay. From the start, Manchester united have been forcing the attack against Chelsea and creating chances for themselves.
Is as if, Chelsea are yet to get into the game properly, though Jackson have had some chances but they've not created enough for themselves on like the Manchester united who are on high spirit this first half.

Any club that is underrating Girona will have itself to blame. The club has shown much dedication to not just be in the Champions League but to win the La Liga. Looking at their performance so far nobody will doubt that the club can win the La Liga. I have heard some arguments that the club will soon lose momentum and begin to lose games but this has not happened because they are still winning games consistently.
Well, yeah, next week's match will be very interesting for Barcelona vs Girona. Barcelona will play at home, so this gives them a distinct advantage. Girona needs great strength to be able to withstand and win against Barcelona, not only in terms of their performance ability but also their mentality when playing against their opponents, especially Camp Nou. This certainly puts special pressure on them, especially since they previously lost to Real Madrid, which is one of the big La Liga clubs. and now it is Barcelona. This definitely won't be easy for them. Likewise with Barcelona, they cannot underestimate Girona just because this club was a small club. Because this season is very different, they are really solid and good in every match. This is not a match that should be taken lightly, because if it slips, Barcelona will probably lose. So, both of them will definitely fight even harder. Yes, this will be interesting.

Maybe that's a little bit so today this is about the game between Barcelona and Girona but I think we are going to see Girona losing this match because of not having enough potential for this match. Barcelona is not in bad form and they can even beat Girona and if this happens Barcelona can improve their situation in La Liga and get close to Girona in second place in the league.

Girona recovered again after losing to Real Madrid. They continued their successful matches. Now, I am sure that their match against Barcelona will be difficult, but they need to prepare for this match like a final match. If they prepare for the final for this match and beat Barcelona at Camp Nou, championship claims can also be discussed.
It's a difficult match but it won't be as difficult as the match against real madrid. I meant if girona needs to pass this test to compete with real madrid. As long as michel will able to beat barcelona and the club is still possible to compete for the title race. Barcelona was the second strongest club in the la liga right now yet it was trouble on its consistency but if we are valuing it based on the club's value and quality and barcelona is the best one after real madrid. This is a test for girona but im not willing to risk myself to pick barcelona.
Picking BTTS or double chance were sense choices in this case. In fact, barcelona is always struggling against the low tier club. Im expecting boring game to happen in this match. The result may not make use feel satisfied.
Probably the outcome from this match will be 1-1. 1-0 or 2,1. Im not expecting lots of goal to happen in this match caused by the big match is always a bit boring. any clubs were playing safely for their win.

These things happen once in while but how long it will last is what nobody knows, in Europe sometimes you see a small club springing up from no where, beating the big sides and sometimes winning the title and all of a sudden in the next season they are nowhere to be found,that could be the story of Girona at moment as they seem unstoppable in this campaign, absolutely not the kind of team that either Real Madrid or Barcelona or Athletico Madrid would like to play against at the moment because they seem to be in an awesome form, picking points both at home and on the road, besides I don't think any team would make that mistake of underating them but if any team does that, then it would be at their own peril, this was how Leicester city stunned everyone by winning the EPL some years back.

Osimhen's performance has been declining so hard once spalletti has announced that he left from napoli. The new coach was unable in exploring his performance like spalltti did. It's a set back for napoli. Osimhen's stat is very bad compared to the last season.
Kvarat was also getting snowballing impact caused by the decision by spalletti to left from there.The impact from spalletti was also really big. It was even making its opponents were so careful when they were facing napoli.
Things are so different right now. Napoli is not the same like what it used to be. The new coach was not able bringing the golden time of napoli last season. This club is performing so badly.
It seems like that the chance is pretty small for napoli to get back to back champion with the current performance. Im very skeptical toward this club.
Watching a formidable club that was struggling developing to become one of the toughest club under Luciano Spalleti but now emphasize on the club's structure and performance in matches. There's absolutely nothing improving about them, I wouldn't blame Aurelio De Laurentiis for the current situation on ground, instead I blame Luciano Spalleti for the wrong decision he decided to go through the exits of the Diego Maradona stadium with brief informative excuses of longing to have enough time to spend with his family and private life.

That's what happens when a new coach takes over the helm of affairs in a team, everything changes,in dressing room and on the training ground and during matches too and everyone is expected to adapt to the new trend and I expect victor Osimhen to also adapt too and forget about last season because it seems he might still be living in the past. Napoli new coach doesn't have the same philosophy as spalletti so it's obvious that's where the problem is coming from, but am sure that with time they will all bond again as they were last season, but it's better they start winning games so they don't loose their place in the top four.

Luton knew how to reduce arsenal's attack. The club has been focusing to block the arsenal wingers and it was working but arsenal is having better quality compared to the luton. Im still applausing luton for its hard work in the match against arsenal.
That's quite amazing to see luton was scoring three goals against arsenal. Luton is doing some improvements on its club. Im very glad to see that how luton is slowly developing its club to perform even better than before.
Arsenal did their attacks well in the match and they even could make that match more easily for themselves but their defense made it worse for them. They let Luton scored three goals too easily and Arsenal actually can avoid three conceded goals in the match.

At the end, at very last seconds, they were rescued by Declan Rice with his headshot and with three points from Luton, Arsenal will continue to stay at the first position. Even getting three points, Arsenal will not have Arteta in the next match and they even have to analyze weakness in their defense system and improve it. Premier League will come to a very tough weeks in late of December and early of January that will be like a marathon. Arsenal must try to get good results in that period and continue to race with Manchester City and Liverpool.

They did all they could but the arsenal team were far too strong and resilient for them to resist. Luton had a chance of grabbing a point at least in that match but blew it all up due to lack of concentration at the last minute, they obviously lost focus and let arsenal take all three point home with Declan Rice goal despite taking the lead at some part of the game in the second half, it shows that arsenal were better prepared than Luton and that's why the result went asernal's ways.

I think the experience they got from losing last season's league will motivate them into pushing and pressing hard to win the league this season.They currently top the table with two points,and I think they can build on that and continue to follow each games as it comes.Arsenal picked form after they won  Lens 6:0 in the Champions league,since then,they have been playing exceptionallly well in the premier league.Today,Luton will suffer in the hands of the gunners because they might want to get more goals in this game,which will make it hard for Luton to defend.The gunners are going home with the three points,and I predict a 4:0 victory.
Last season was a lesson for Arteta and Arsenal players, they will use all the opportunities they have this season just to keep their consistency and if possible increase their points gap ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool.
Arsenal will win today’s match by at least two goals ahead of Lutin town because Arsenal is good away from home this season.
I think Mikel arteta and his arsenal players have learnt their lessons and are cautious in the way they approach each game with respect to what transpired last season during the title race and I think they are beginning to build their points which is also good for the team especially matches like this against Luton on the road which goes a long way to boost their morale as well put more pressure on their rivals as they try to catch up and that's why it's really important for arsenal to snatch all three points tonight to maintain their lead at the top of table before the return game where they will play the top five teams again.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 05, 2023, 05:37:07 PM

There are many differences between the two clubs, but I wasn't expecting Napoli to lose in such a way. As you can see, both clubs are in the Champions League, and they have the last game in the group stage. I assumed that since all of their attention would be on the Champions League, the game would end in a draw, but sadly, Napoli lost. Inter has been playing better than Napoli this season, taking the lead in the table, so Napoli's lose to them did not surprise me in the slightest. What still surprises me is that Napoli has struggled to return to its previous form of performance to make it so top. Roma have also overtake them with the same points but different goals.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri must allow his team to concentrate on the Seria A league because, in my opinion, even if Napoli advances past the group stage of the Champions League, they will not be able to qualify to the champions league final. If Napoli concentrates on the Seria A league, even if they are unable to win the league title this season, they should at least qualify to the Champions League next season, since Roma become serious to qualify to the Champions League.
The situation of Napoli before Mazarri's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix the loopholes and come on top. Over the weekend, Mazarri has his second league game and I won't blame him much for the loss though because their opponent, the visitors are currently at the top of the league table and they personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. Mazarri just came and should be given time to show himself. Inter is currently a bigger team than Napoli. Disregarding the home advantage, Inter would currently either draw or win Napoli. Maybe last weekend they should have done better to keep a draw but let's not curse them.

 They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently Mazarri would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. Mazarri can still make a great team from Napoli and their next game encounter is awaited.

Obviously the difference between both Napoli and inter Milan is consistency. Inter have been consistent so far both in serie A and in the champions league whereas Napoli have taken a nosedive as a result of not being able to get over their loss against Madrid, and this has been the problem of many teams who are defending champions, though I must also state that it is very difficult to defend a league title in the Italian serie A, so am not surprised to see Napoli suffering both in the champions league in domestic league, but I expect to see them bounce back soon because they have all it take to do so.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 05, 2023, 05:24:58 PM
A win against Girona from Barcelona will not even make Barcelona go above Girona,  they'll be having 37 points bit a win remains a win for Barcelona. The odds are also in the favor of them. Form matters Barcelona though have just seen a game lost at home and Girona the visitors have seen no lose so far. That's such a good form and Barcelona shouldn't underate them in this fixture. I would love to see how Girona reacts to another big side in La Liga. They failed to share points with Real Madrid, can they do same against Barcelona?

Barcelona last two games though has shown improvements. They should win this game. Glad to see Felix puting them ( Barcelona ) ahead against his parent club. Celebrating against them shows he doesn't care about the criticism from them fans, he'll want to leave completely.
Barcelona has the ambition to reduce the points gap from Madrid and Girona, that is the way to keep the championship trophy in the glass cupboard at the end of the season. On paper, Girona will lose points, exactly the same as when they faced Madrid, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of the opposite happening. Xavi certainly understands that he needs to watch out for Girona in a different way this season, because Girona improvement in performance is not the result of luck alone.

For Michel as Girona coach, they also have the ambition to record perfect points, to stay by Madrid side. Realistically, the maximum point that can be achieved is 1, in the sense that they can force Barcelona to share the points, the rest requires great luck to realize the ambition of 3 points. Apart from all that, Girona presence in the top four of the standings makes us all entertained.

Interesting! Girona with this form remain a big threat to the top club in La Liga. Having them at the top makes me smile, they've shown what discipline, togetherness and consistency can do on any club. They're not having world class players but team work makes the dream work. Every game, I grow this love for me. Against Barcelona? Lol Catalians have got to stay woke, they'll have to show they're superior others. The hunt for the top would be difficult!

Barcelona remains my number 1 club to win this years La Liga tittle. I'm not giving up on em. They've just been hit hard with injuries. Why the rumours of selling Robert Lewandoski? Valid?

The possibility of either sides winning this match is high and I can't really anticipate a draw because both side are desperately in need of these three points to help keep them in the title race and secure a place for them in Europe and I know it's not going to be an easy match for either side. Barcelona seem to be the favorite to win this match probably because they are playing at home infront of their fans who will be there to cheer them up all the way as usual but I can't rule out the possibility of Girona causing an upset in camp Nou just like real Madrid in the last El classsico fixture that saw Jude Bellingham stun the Barca fans with those two astonishing goals that silenced the Catalan giants.

I'm not worried about Arsenal match with Luton the match that I was feeling scary was Arsenal match with wolves but with the nature with which Arsenal played wolves and won them right from the first half I believe Luton's match isn't gonna be an exemption because Wolves who is stronger than Luton conceded defeat to Arsenal not to talk of promoted Luton that haven't even been aquatinted to Premier League pattern of play so definitely Arsenal is gonna win.
Well it is a football match and anything can happen. But the book makers odds are with Arsenal. The game against Wolves was a strong match but when Arsenal scored 2 goals within the first 20 minutes I knew it was over for Wolves even though the game took a different turn after then. But football is full of surprises let's just hope Arsenal doesn't disappoint in today's game.

Luton is a team that is in the bottom zone of the Premier League standings and it is clear that Luton has very different qualities to Arsenal . Because ya, after all, Arsenal is still in contention for the title atthis moment, because Arsenal is also still at the top ofthe Premier League standings at this moment. Therefore, ofcourse there is no doubt that Arsenal will still win in this away match against Luton in today match. At this moment, I think you don't need to expect a surprise about Luton because ya, this match will be the right one for Arsenal to get three points again and again to strengthen its position at the top of the Premier League standings.

Teams like Luton that are below in the league table are not the kind of teams you might want to play against when the title race is on. It is more easier  and preferable to play against the top five teams on the table than playing against relegation bound teams like Luton who are placed 17th on the table and are likely to drag any team down with them at this point in time when all eyes are on the league leaders arsenal. They(arsenal) must approach this game with sense of seriousness and not write Luton off tonight else they might get into serious trouble like last season when they played against Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest, which cost them the league title.

There are only two teams that have achieved perfect points in the last 5 matches and that is Real Madrid and Manchester City. These two teams are indeed the ideal finals in each season, but we also don't know the possibility of the two of them meeting first, whether in the quarterfinals or semifinals. These two teams have collected 15 points and only one match remains to close the group stage with 18 points. I can't wait to see these two teams fighting together to be in the higher rounds in the future and also with the new squad depth this season it is clear that the match will be quite even.

Probably two of the best football clubs in Europe right now, and both teams are really doing great both in the champions league and in their domestic leagues respectively with Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish laliga with 38 points tied Girona who are in second place whilst Manchester city are in second place behind arsenal with 30 points. The chances that both teams may clash again this season is very high, though one cannot tell wether its gonna be in the round of sixteen, the quarter finals or the semi's but if they both progress beyond these levels then we might see both teams meet in the finals of the UCL which is also possible as a result of their performance this season.

Girona and Real Madrid are 4 points ahead of Barcelona. Therefore, even if Barça wins the Girona match, they will not be leaders in the league. Real Madrid is still at the top of the table and I think they will want Girona to win against Barça more because their real rivals are seen as Barça. Girona, on the other hand, is still showing Leicester championship performance and they seem to continue without losses this year.
Girona are in a current form that is threatening to both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, the points gap between the three teams are not that much of a significance though it's an advantage but from what I perceive Barcelona will cling a victory over Girona when they meet as the team is now reawakening from it dull performance Seeing how they played against ATM last night.

Like I have recently stated in one comment previously, Girona might not maintain the momentum and strength of form they are now by February next year what they can possibly do is to fight to hold a spot on the table to qualify them for the UCL next season. The owners of the title we all know.
I honestly do not think that they are a problem for neither Real nor Barcelona. Many do think that they are going to finish near the top, but I think both Real and Barca will pass them this season. I think even ATM may pass them too. A fourth place would be awesome for Girona, but because many people think that they may end up higher, when they do eventually finish at fourth place people will not think that's a good think, and that's a damn shame.

I think people should cherish that a team like Girona may end up being fourth, do not be upset if they drop there, be happy that they are there. If they do somehow end up being anything higher than fourth ,that would be a miracle for them, I am 5100 sure they won't finish winners, but if they end up being even more than fourth, or even fourth, that's awesome.

Despite being impressive this season I think Girona should focus on earning enough points to earn them a place in Europe next season and not allow the distractions of title derail them, though dreaming big wouldn't be a bad idea but I still maintain that a place in Europe(the champions league) is what's best for them at moment. Playing against Barcelona is gonna be a big challenge for them considering Barcelona's recent form but I think they equal to the task because they have alot of players from different positions that can match barca's players,  so it will be huge for Girona if they can at least get a point out this match.

Roma, had a come back against Sausuolo. They didn't play in their A form and it was bad because they ought to be a better side regardless of the host advantage their opponent had. They were only able to come back after the penalty was awarded which in a normal sense means that they were pressed down more by Sausuolo. Even in their European game last week, they didn't give their best. Roma before now are known to be far better than they are now. They need to sit up, they're being too sluggish and lazy and it'll cost them a whole lot, their spot on the table and their advancement in the Europa League too.
For Sausuolo, they first were on top of the game but still let Roma win them.
,AS Roma slowly to climb up in Serie A ranking table and despite of bad start in this season and some up and down, they successfully took over the fourth position from Napoli which lost against Inter Milan. There are some challengers for top four or the fourth position so Roma will have to fight hard to maintain  the fourth position which they are holding temporarily.

I would also like to say the same about Roma, especially because of their statistics so far. Roma have won 7 matches, drawn 3 and lost 4 and that made them manage to collect 24 points from the 42 points contested. Of course, these are not great statistics, but Roma can really take advantage of their opportunities when teams like Napoli fail to win matches.

The points gap between Roma and Inter is still too big to cover, but Roma doesn't need to be pessimistic about that because a good target this season is to qualify for the Champions League next season. Maintaining team shape is difficult for any team, but I think Mourinho should be able to do it for the targets he has planned. But Roma is still not safe in the top 4 because Napoli have the same points, while Fiorentina and Bologna are also not too far behind.

Jose maurinho and his Roma team should as a matter of urgency first of all define their target and should start working towards their target by earning points both at home and on the road to help enhance their chances of playing in the champions league, I believe that should be the priority of every serious minded team in European football, so far from what we have seen,  it's obvious that Roma are not in best form but they are not doing too bad either and also need to step up their game and also score more goals during their matches so that they don't end up dropping points. Roma has been playing core Italian style of football for sometime now which means that they may not score much, maybe 1 or 2 but they would defend that scoreline until the end of the game and that's why they often get a draw in most of their matches.

-snip-
The game was really good, Manchester City had more advantage in shots, but the result was still a draw because they conceded a goal at the end. The situation in the standings has changed again. To be honest, I don't remember a season where there was such a hard fight. Arsenal are back on top, and the gap is no longer 1 point, something new
If there are Arsenal fans here, then I hope they don't get too happy just yet. The Premier League is still very long and all teams have not yet finished the first half of the season. Arsenal is not a team that has a good winning mentality in the last races, they failed at the end of the season especially when there was big pressure coming from better teams. The scenario is almost the same, but I don't think Manchester City will be able to win the title this season.

Manchester City has failed to win 3 of its last 5 matches in the Premier League. They drew against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, but they were very lucky to still avoid defeat. Pep Guardiola will think of something that can improve his team's performance in the next match. He is a critical thinker even though he doesn't admit that he is a genius.

The fact that should not be happy yet is understandable, because this season is not like the previous ones, it's too intense, I don't remember so many teams going tight against each other for so many matches. I think the situation in the second half of the championship will not change much and we will understand who exactly will win this season only in the last matches

Those who are getting very excited about Manchester city's seeming nosedive and aresenal's sudden ascension should rather thread with caution and not let their excitement becloud their sense of judgement because we have seen these kind of situations too many times, as a matter of fact it is becoming a tradition in the premier league for one to take an early lead but end up loosing the title to another club, it happened to Liverpool under Kenny dalglish, it also happened to Chelsea under Jose maurinho, and recently it happened to arsenal under Mikel arteta, so it's not new to me and I don't get excited when a team stays at top of the table with few points that can't even sustain them if they loose a match or get a draw, rather one should be excited if a team has like ten to fifteen points margin with 3 or 2 games to the end of a season.

The Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match will be the best match this week, of course I have been waiting for it for a long time. Barcelona must be able to win the match without reason because with that Barcelona can catch up on the points gap with Girona and Real Madrid. Barcelona must keep their distance from the top of the standings if they don't want to fall too far behind, but I believe Atletico Madrid is a difficult opponent.

So far Barcelona has won 3 of their last 6 matches against Atletico Madrid in La Liga in the last 3 seasons. Atletico Madrid won 2 of 6 matches and 1 of them ended in a draw. Barcelona has a good record in its last 3 matches against Atletico Madrid in La Liga and this is good capital to hope to maintain. After all, Barcelona is playing at home and I think the probability is pretty good to win.
   

First of all, Barcelona are in a good form at the moment despite injury worries and have managed to win two games since the resumption of the laliga and the champions league beating FC Porto 2-1 at the camp Nou, this will go a long way to boost their morale and also set a good precedent for them as they play against arch rivals Athletico Madrid, and playing at home is an added advantage to FC Barcelona, so I think it's gonna be a win for them though I don't expect it to be an easy game for Barca because Athletico Madrid are also in a great form at the moment both in the champions league and in the laliga, so I think it's gonna be another classsico.

The drama of six goals decorated the Man City vs Tottenham match

Tottenham dramatically managed to hold Manchester City to a draw with a tight score of 3-3 which was held at the Etihad Stadium. Chasing goals occurred in this match. Manchester City's three goals each came from Son Heung-min's suicide and the actions of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Thanks to this result, Man City dropped to third place in the standings with 30 points. Meanwhile, Tottenham is stuck in 5th place with 27 points.

It was a beauty to behold in this fixture seeing how these goals keep coming back to back from both team especially Tottenham, I must commend them for not throwing in the towel so fast, they really played as a unit despite their poor performance in the first half that nearly cost them this all three points. As for Manchester city I think they really have to work on their defence, you can't be scoring much goals in one game and also concede almost the same number of goal you scored this kind of situation can be very frustrating for the for the players upfront because you have to preserve the lead but all the same I must say it was classy performance tonight from both sides.
