I once said as in the previous post, that the matches that Girona and Real Madrid will play will be crucial matches last week. and yeah, the final result of the match between these two teams ended in a draw. Previously, Real Sociedad was unable to take advantage of the momentum to overthrow Real Sociedad at the Estadi Montivili, Girona's headquarters. Real Sociedad was able to hold the match to a draw like in the first meeting. In the end, Ginona only got one point in the match.

Likewise with the Madrid derby match, the battle between the two teams was quite fierce. although Madrid had more chances with 17 total shots, 4 on target and 2 big chances. however, Madrid was only able to convert one opportunity into a goal in the 20th minute. on the other hand, Diego Simeone's team should have been able to equalize in the 49th minute. unfortunately, the goal was canceled because one of the Atletico Madrid players was caught in the offside trap. Luckily for Atletico, in the 90+3 minute, Diego Simeone's team was able to equalize through Marcus LIorente's header from Memphis Depay's assist. in the end, this match ended in a draw. as I said, Madrid should not underestimate ATMs, even though they are playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. In the end, Real Madrid was the same as Girona who only got one point.
Talking about title competition, it would be fun if we just followed every match presented by La Liga. after all, competition is still quite tight and this competition still has a lot of matches left.

Ah, it seems I'm missing out on information regarding the development of the Saudi Pro League teams. so, I immediately went looking for the latest information regarding Ronaldo. referring to several newspapers that I read, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly returned to training and is taking part in preparations for the duel between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup match at the Kingdom Stadium, next Friday. reportedly, after one week of recovery, Arab Media Arriadiyah reported that Cristiano Ronaldo participated in 70 percent of Al Nassr's training program in preparation for facing Al Hilal, Saturday, local time. in short, Ronaldo has reportedly recovered. so, it seems that Ronaldo will be fielded when Al Nassr plays against Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup. thus, this match should present a fierce battle between the two top Saudi Pro League teams.

Talking about Inter Miami, this team from the MLS League is filled with Barcelona legend players and one of them is Leonel Messi. IMO, just being an entertainment team or a complementary team, in the end the real match is the Al Nassr versus Al Hilal fight. referring to the last point you said, I would prefer if this match showed more of a battle of prestige between these two teams. so, we just hope that when the time comes, both teams will provide a very interesting battle for us to watch.

Yeah, that's how football is, there are times when you lose and there are times when you win. Just like Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp's team previously defeated Arsenal in the FA Cup. In last night's match, Arsenal took advantage of the situation experienced by Liverpool with the absence of several key players. moreover, the match was held at the Emirates. competing in front of his own supporters, seemed to provide strong encouragement and motivation to win this fight. and it was proven, Arteta was able to bring his team to achieve full points at home. now, the two teams are only separated by two points.

On the contrary, Liverpool's defeat was caused by several factors if we review them. Apart from several players being absent due to injury, one of their players was on duty with the national team even though they lost at the end. Another factor, the poor performance of Liverpool's two wing-backs. Apart from that, several other players also took part in playing not as expected. So, it's natural that Liverpool ultimately lost in this match. if we talk about Liverpool last season, especially at the start of the match. It is very clear that Liverpool's performance is a mess if we compare it with what is currently being displayed. After all, Liverpool is still at the top of the standings even though their current position is not safe.
Honestly, as an Arsenal supporter I am happy that the Gunnes won this match. At the same time, as neutral fans, Liverpool will return to normal, especially when Jurgen Klopp's team does not have injured players. I mean, for the core players. Well, this defeat is homework for Klopp and his team. At least, they have to improve their weaknesses after visiting the Emirates Stadium.

Early this morning, in my country, the Premier League will present the Brentford vs Manchester City match. If City wins, that means Arsenal's ranking will be shifted by TheCitizen. plus, reducing the difference in points from the top of the standings. well, let's just wait for the match that will be presented between Brentford vs Manchester City.

No one doubts Liverpool as I said before, they have a chance to win a trophy in this competition. even though they lost to Arsenal, Liverpool still sits at the top of the standings. well, what will be a problem is, when Liverpool's competitors in the domestic league start to compete fiercely, especially if teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, have the same points as Liverpool. or, Liverpool's position is overtaken by one of the two teams I mentioned in this post. which means, Jurgen Klopp will prioritize his focus on the Premier League. except, Liverpool's position remains safe at the top. so, Klopp can divide his focus to other competitions. I will only say that Liverpool's journey as they play match after match, whether in the Premier League or the Europa League competition, will be increasingly challenging and will not always be smooth in their battles.

Likewise with AC Milan, Stefano Pioli must prove himself worthy of bringing his team to become one of the title contenders. but before that, the main task of Pioli and his team is to overthrow Rennes. well, let's just follow what this competition presents. btw, since the start of this competition, I have chosen one team, namely Leverkusen. ao far, they have made good progress. from now on, I can only follow every development.

Recent reports refer to Fabrizio Romano in the last 24 hours, Mbappe to Real Madrid - "constant contact" but it is not true that there is a January 14 deadline. according to several newspapers I read, one of which is according to The Daily Mail, Madrid will give the striker a signing fee of €100 million. The report claims that the La Liga club are "unwilling to break their salary structure" to sign Mbappe, so he will have to accept a much lower salary than his current weekly salary of £88,000.

However, they would be willing to allow Mbappe to receive a 60/40 split in his favor in terms of image rights, which would further increase the attacker's earning power at the club. referring to the many reports regarding Mbappe recently, don't be surprised because this PSG star is being targeted by many clubs towards the end of his contract. now, rumors are strongly pointing to Real Madrid. even though in reality, Nasser Al-Khelaifi continues to make efforts so that he does not leave PSG. Let's just follow developments, what will happen to Mbappe's future in the end.

As I said previously in yesterday's post, there are two crucial matches that we will watch this week. in yesterday's match, Girona vs Real Sociedad. In the first meeting between these two teams, the match ended in a draw. and when Girona hosted Real Sociedad, Michel's team was unable to bring their team to win the match at their own home. in the end, the match ended with a score of 0-0.

Likewise as I said for the Madrid derby match. this match is crucial for both teams, especially for Real Madrid. because, in the first meeting Madrid weighed against Atletico with a score of 3-1.all goals scored were through headers. In today's match, Madrid plays as the home team. even though they played at Sandiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti's team was unable to maximize this match to get full points. Despite the patterns and rotations changed by Don Carlo, Madrid took the lead in the 20th minute. But in the end, Atletico Madrid was able to equalize minutes before the end of the match.final result, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Regardless of whatever you say, in the end next week the Real Madrid vs Girona match will be the match that determines the top position in the standings. if Girona loses, then Madrid can increase the points gap from the teams below them. If the situation is the other way around, Girona will again overtake the ranking occupied by Real Madrid.

In the next four days, we will watch a big match between the two rivals, namely Al Hilal vs Al Nassr. even though it is not in the Saudi Pro League, this match is likely to present a contest of high prestige between the two competing clubs. in the Ryadh Season Cup 2024, I haven't gotten the odds based on the betting exchange. I don't know which team is superior, but this match will be a prestigious match for the two teams that will compete. even though this competition is not actually an important match, it will be very important for the two teams to beat each other. moreover, Al Hilal seems to have a target to appear impressive with their positive trend in every match they play. that's why, I think this match will be a serious fight.

Likewise with Al Nassr, as a rival and has more competitive depth. Luis Castro's team will not allow his team to be overthrown easily. onstead, Ronaldo and his colleagues will do their best to overthrow their rivals. unless the two teams consider this match to be purely a friendly match. then the players being played could be second tier players. Well, to be sure, let's wait for these two teams to meet.

If Liverpool's points are equal to Arsenal, let alone Manchester City. and the match continued until it was nearing the end of the competition, Liverpool's focus was automatically focused on the Domestic League rather than the trophy in this competition. so, in my opinion, competition in this competition is still wide open for the teams that enter the round of 16. Just like Leverkusen, the narrow points difference with Bayern Munich means Alonso will prioritize the Bundeliga. But at least, these two teams have a big chance of advancing to the final round of the Europa League. especially if his position is safe in the Domestic League.

Well, before we talk further about AC Milan in this competition. at least, Stepano Pioli's team must first prove they are capable of beating Rennes in the playoffs, both in the first and second legs. If they are able to do this, then we can speculate further regarding this team from the Italian League. so far, nothing is certain. we only speak based on assumptions and speculation. in fact, some even refer to statistics. however, what is unique about football is that the result of the match will be determined when this competition is held. so, let's just join in. soon this competition will be held.

What about the other teams, just like last season, Inter is not at all a candidate to advance to the Champions League final. is it possible that this season there will be a surprise or the Underdog team could be a threat to Real Madrid, City, Bayern Munich. It is possible that Arsenal will be able to put up resistance and stop one of the three teams mentioned above. the reason is, Arsenal has a team that is quite competitive and has an energetic playing pattern, especially capable of overthrowing City. even though in reality the opportunities they have are not as big as the three teams who are always favorites. But Arsenal only lost in terms of experience. Arteta should not underestimate tactics and strategy.

In essence, I am not in the capacity to favor Arsenal, that is just one example. it could be that Inter will advance to the final round again. or Atletico Madrid for example.in fact, this competition relies more on luck, regardless of the teams included in the elite team squad in this competition. after all, each team only meets two matches. if they lose it means they are eliminated. unlike the Domestic League competition, there are many matches that will be played by a team. but yes, still if we talk theoretically, statistics and data. Manchester City, Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich are the most favorite teams and that is very natural. however, the competition has not yet started. so, let's just wait to speculate further.

Yesterday I said in the previous post that the match between Brest and Nice ended in a draw. and yeah, this match ended with a score of 0-0. previously, I reviewed these two teams. if Brest will not overthrow Nice, which has a fairly solid defense. however, Nice has shortcomings in its unproductive attack line. so, it seems that the Nice coach only relies on counter attacks if they have them. That's also why in 20 matches in Ligue 1, Nice was only able to score 20 goals. even in this match, of the 13 total shots, only 1 was on target, there were no opportunities to threaten the home team.

On the other hand, at least the home team was better than Nince, both in terms of ball possession and opportunities. but unfortunately, not a single opportunity was able to be converted into a goal. well, it seems like there are a lot of losers betting on these two teams. moreover, those who hope for the home team. I think referring to the previous match, Brest was lucky to draw against PSG. however, many thought that Brest was able to provide its best version of resistance. even though, Enrique is trying to experiment and make the debut of his new player. as a result, it ended in a draw. however, when they hosted Nice, Brest was unable to score a single goal. and yeah, what is clear is that PSG's position at the top of the standings remains safe as long as the teams below them do not have strong competitiveness in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

The battle between these two teams was in line with what I expected, in the end Arsenal took advantage of the momentum to overthrow Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. In the end, the two teams were only separated by two points. Liverpool are still two points ahead of Arsenal, but it is clear that their position at the top of the Premier League is very insecure. referring to the course of the match, Liverpool slightly dominated ball possession. Likewise, from a technical perspective, the two teams have a lot of differences. the difference is, Arsenal has more opportunities. in this match, Arteta dared to speculate on rotating his players. several key players, did not become main starters. however, the results were as Arteta expected. yeah, Arsenal can win this match.

On the other hand, there was no Moh Salah, even though Darwin Nunez was played in the second half. Jurgen Klopp's team, didn't have many chances. out of 90 normal times, Liverpool only had 10 shots, 1 shot on target, and didn't even have a single threatening chance. As for the return goal from Liverpool, as usual, I have observed it twice, Gabriel Magalhaes made a blunder. and in this match, he scored an own goal. on the other hand, Liverpool is the same way. Their defensive line is not in performance. Joe Gomes and TAA, underperformed. even a few mistakes made it easy for Arsenal to score their goal. except, Trossard's goal was quite cool, by dribbling the ball past the Liverpool defenders and he was able to increase his team's lead. final result, score 3-1 for Arsenal. well, the same goes for City, their opportunity is the same as Arsenal's to reduce the difference in points from the team at the top of the standings.

This match is in line with what I previously predicted above, if United will win the battle over West Ham. now United has risen to 6th place in the standings with 38 points, 6 points behind Spurs who have scored 44 points. Referring to this match, the line-up that Ten Hag fielded was quite accurate. in the previous week, Varane played very badly. that's why Ten Hag preferred to let him sit on the bench and included Maquire in the starting eleven. well, speaking related to what you said, I have said it in the previous post. if currently United is starting to experience changes that lead to better performance. apart from that, Ten Hag began to emphasize that if the main player underperforms, then his position will be replaced temporarily.

Talking about this match, overall United played very well. 3 goals without reply, increasingly motivated them to play the next matches with positive results. even though it can't be said to be completely solid, the actual system that Ten Hag implemented is working according to his plan. Hojlund, again contributed in this match. the following week, United will compete with quite tough obstacles for Ten Hag when his team visits Aston Villa.
As for West Ham, David Moyes' team actually played quite well. Unfortunately, they had to accept this defeat. Apart from that, West Ham must be willing now that United is above West Ham's ranking.

This match should be a momentum for Arsenal to overthrow Liverpool in the Emirates, home of the Gunners. and if I refer to some of the line up predictions that are my reference, it seems that Arteta will continue to field Emile Smith Rowe as a wing midfielder. actually, I'm not sure, I mean Arteta could choose Kai Harvertz or Trossard. as for the other players, it seems that Arteta has made no changes.

On the other hand, in this match, based on the reference that is my prediction, Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to field Darwin Nunez and Moh Salah. If they win like that, Arsenal should be able to use this match as their momentum. however, that doesn't mean Arteta should underestimate Liverpool without some of its core players. therefore, Klopp knows very well Arsenal's playing style and weaknesses. therefore, Arsenal still has to play carefully in this match.

Referring to betting options, Arsenal is slightly favored by bookmakers. Arsenal with odds @2.25, while Liverpool with odds @3.00. I think it's natural, considering that this match was held at the Emirates. As a supporter of the Gunners, I hope Arteta and his squad are able to show their best version of the game. plus, get full points in this match. Well, this match will be held for a while, so let's see the results of the battle between these two teams.

You know, only Jurgen Klopp really knows what really happened and all the reasons behind his decision to leave Afield at the end of this season. even though Klopp said that he had run out of energy, and Klop also said that Liverpool needed a coach who was more than him. apart from that, he will take a break from coaching, maybe for a while, Klopp really needs a break, especially having time to spend with his family. the reason is quite reasonable, even Klopp has served for the Red for quite a long time. or, there is another reason why he chose to leave Anfield after this season.

Like you, there are many questions that arise in our hearts, especially Liverpool supporters. in fact, we can assume, Speculation, and conspiracy. there is something we can relate to, why Klopp chose to end his career at Anfield. but what is certain is that only Klopp knows for sure what is true. It could be that what Klopp said was the truth. apart from all that, there is no option for Liverpool to find an ideal replacement like Klopp. I am quite sure that the Club has already bagged several names as potential successors to Jurgen Klopp. however, the one who is always being linked at the moment is Xabi Alonso. this Leverkusen coach has attracted a lot of attention for elite clubs to use his services. the question is, is Alonso willing to leave the German League and take charge of Liverpool. well, we'll know the answer after this season ends.

This match must be a victory for United to continue to improve their performance in the Premier League standings. moreover, Erik Ten Hag's squad played its match at Old Trafford. referring to the line up that Ten Hag will field in this match, it is very likely that Ten Hag will rotate some of his players. It could be that because Varane underperformed in the previous match, he will be benched for this match. that means, maybe Marquire will be sent down instead. For other players, it seems there will be no changes. Likewise with the pattern used by Ten Hag with his 4-2-3-1.

On the other hand, West Ham is two places above United. however, this time David Moyes' squad cannot underestimate the Red Devil. although in the last two matches between these two teams, United lost to West Ham. however, it is clear that in this match, David Moyes' team cannot underestimate Erik Ten Hag's squad, which is starting to show signs of change. moreover, in the last 3 matches that West Ham played, they only produced minor matches.
well, speaking of betting options. in this match the bookies favor Man United with odds @1.62, while the away team is at @5.20. in this match, there are many options that we can choose, but the most ideal option is 1x2 with odds @1.62 for United. Well, in a few moments, this match will be held soon, let's wait for the final results.

I am happy with Barcelona's victory in this match, even though it is true that Barcelona should get full points if we refer to the ranking and depth of the team. however, this is due to Barcelona's unstable performance, plus the number of players injured. so it's natural that there are many doubts that Barcelona can perform with an impressive performance. in this match too, Xavi made slight changes to rotate his players. yeah, Xavi put Christensen as a midfielder. It's a little strange, sometimes I don't really understand what Xavi is implementing. but most importantly, Barcelona got full points in this match. at least, they are still safely in the top four of the standings.

but unfortunately, this victory over Alaves was marked by several players who seemed to have problems. for one thing, I don't know why Joao Cancelo was pulled off in the 47th minute. either because he has problems, or his performance is not good. actually, I didn't watch this match. but, I can find out based on the data and statistics of this match. plus, match highlights. apart from that, Gundohan was withdrawn in the 59th minute, apparently he also had a bit of a problem and was replaced by Vitor Roque. Well, this player started to find his rhythm, he scored Barcelona's second goal again. unfortunately, Roque was also given a red card. this will only worsen the problems Barcelona is facing. I hope IIkay Gundohan and Juao Cancelo do not suffer serious injury problems.

Talking about Barcelona last season and now, statistically Barcelona should be more competitive than last season. but the problem is, the situation is actually reversed. the poor performance of several core defensive players, Inaki Pena as a substitute goalkeeper whose performance is very doubtful. plus, the front line performance is very inconsistent in scoring goals. Speaking of Lewandowski, if he leaves in the end, I'm not sure Barcelona can get a pure sticker in return. I mean, a striker who is really established and can be relied on. So, as a Barcelona fan, I hope Barcelona will show their best performance again and so will Lewandowski.

You missed one team, namely Leverkusen, which so far, the team coached by Xabi Alonso, has never lost in all its matches in various competitions. in fact, if AC Milan advances to the round of 16 later. and being met with Leverkusen, it is not certain that AC Milan will be able to overthrow the team architected by Xavi Alonso. especially AS Roma, who are not certain to be able to qualify for the round of 16 when playing their match against Feyenoord. that doesn't mean I underestimate these two teams, but the fact is that Leverkusen's performance is much better than AS Roma and even AC Milan. the team that competes in the German League is able to play an interesting, solid and impressive game. so far, Leverkusen has played its matches by prioritizing solid teamwork. so, Leverkusen deserves to be one of the strong contenders in the race for trophies in this competition.

Apart from that, maybe there are several other teams that can surprise us in this competition. for example, Brighton, the team coached by De Zerbi is able to provide fierce resistance when competing with teams above their ranking. or maybe another team that we didn't expect, after all in football that is unique. for me, Liverpool is not the only one who is a strong candidate. moreover, Liverpool's focus is the same as Leverkusen, focused on the Domestic League which is a priority. Let's just follow along, after all, this competition hasn't started yet.

It's likely that in the end, Benzema won't go anywhere.  referring to several newspapers that I read, one of which is BCC and Ben Jacobs. the point is, no concrete EPL offer has been made to Al Ittihad so far. so, it seems there is no choice for Benzema to stay with Al Ittihad. referring to what you said, obviously I totally agree. however, which team did Benzema play for? I mean, if Benzema returned to playing in one of the European Leagues. also, it is not just performance issues that are being considered by the teams that have been linked with Benzema. apart from the age factor, the salary is expensive and in fact Al Ittihad has no plans to let go of this player.

By the way, if Benzema plays with the right team, there is a big possibility that his performance can still be relied on. for example, if Benzema joins Manchester United. or, Arsenal who have a style of play that suits Karim Benzema, in my personal opinion. so, now we're back to discussing Benzema with Al Ittihad. once again, as you said that we agree. the point is, Benzema cannot play alone even though he has the talent and ability. ultimately, he needs ideal colleagues to support each other as a solid team. unfortunately, the Al Ittihad squad does not have competent supporting players. so it's only natural that currently Al Ittihad is experiencing a decline in performance and is finding it difficult to compete with other elite Saudi Pro League teams.

Or maybe the Brest vs Nice match ends in a draw, I think there is a big possibility that this could happen. remember, Nice has a fairly solid defense line. so far Nice has only conceded 11 goals in 19 matches, the team that has conceded the fewest so far, in Lique 1. however, on the other hand, Nice's productivity in terms of scoring goals is not that impressive given the ranking they currently occupy. as for Brest, this team is only three points behind Nice. what is certain is that Brest will target full points so that they can shift their position to 2nd place in the Ligue 1 standings. moreover, Brest is playing as the home team in this meeting. however, it is not an easy matter to beat Nice. so, I think this match has the potential to end in a draw. even if one of these two teams wins the match, I still have confidence that AS Monaco will have the opportunity to overtake the teams above them. with the exception of PSG. I mean, this giant French League team doesn't really have tough competitors. at least, not like last season. well, there is no guarantee that Nice or Brest will be able to maintain their ranking until the end of the season. moreover, talking about tickets to the Champions League. after all, there are still many matches left until the end of this competition. so, let's just enjoy what Ligue 1 has to offer.

Well, I didn't think that Gladbach would score a goal in this match. otherwise, my estimate is exactly what I predicted. btw, previously I thought that Munich would score 2 or 3 goals against Monchengladbach. and yeah according to my analysis, but I didn't expect Gladbach to use a different pattern in this match. I think that Gerardo Seoane's squad will play defensively in this match. final result, if we place Under, we won't lose in betting on this match anyway. On the other hand, if you choose the handicap option, at least refer to the Asian Handicap Betting betting exchange with the option 0:2 1/4. meaning, we will lose. except, -1.5 with fairly low odds. but whatever it is, Bayern Munich won the match.

In the other match, Darmstadt vs Leverkusen. this match, according to my estimates, Leverkusen still won the match, but not many goals were scored. Xabi's team was only able to score two goals, and Darmstadt was unable to score a single goal in this match. as a result, no 3 goals were scored. my estimate, Under 3 goals with odds @1.70. match result 0-2. By the way, as we predicted, these two teams will not experience any problems in this match. the following week, the meeting between Leverkusen and Bayern will be a big match that is both exciting and tense.
