Brighton - Manchester United is going to be the last game of this game week and actually it is a missing game for both sides as well. Manchester United are four points ahead of Liverpool now and they have 2 missing games to play too. They should be able to turn this into their advantage. However Brighton aren't an easy team to beat for them. Brighton beat them in Old Trafford before.
However it was a long time ago and Manchester United are far stronger than that now. The only problem which is a serious one as well is that their defense isn't very strong now. Because Varane and Martinez are still injured. If the Red Devils still manage to balance the game with their offense side then they can have their revenge and open the gap with Liverpool more as well.
This match looks like it will offer a competitive fight from the two teams, especially if we refer to the last meeting in the FA CUP, the match ended in a penalty shootout. in this match, Brighton will not let The Red Devils get points easily. the reason is, De Zebri's squad troops will provide fierce resistance to gain full points at their own cage. plus, De Zerbi is targeting his team to rank up by having two other postponed matches. that means, this fight is important for them to win. if this scenario goes well, Brighton will shift the ranking occupied by Tottenham. On the other hand, Manchester Utd still will not be strengthened by their two mainstay defenders. yes, the absence of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane made United's defense a bit problematic. I'm sure Ten Hag is aware of this, like it or not Ten Hag has to think of ways to anticipate the poor performance of his team's defense line. well, when referring to the predicted starting line-up of these two teams. it seems, both teams will use the same pattern with the 4-2-3-1 system. but it could also be, Ten Hag will apply a different system to anticipate this fight. By the way, the bookie prefers Brighton. Naturally, they played as the home team. plus, United did not play with its core squad. My guess is that both teams will score goals and it is even possible that the match will end in a draw. however, betting on Unted seems quite interesting with pretty ideal odds to me. so, there's nothing wrong with taking risks even though United are fragile in their defense. Brighton vs Manchester UtdMan U recently played Brighton in the FA Cup and the game ended in a goalless draw... Man U won on penalties... By the way, the bookmakers then also gave a slight preference to Brighton... I think a draw today is very probable because Man U play bad away and Brighton have a few games in reserve to try to catch up with Liverpool... Brighton is the favorite for me today but i think it will be a close match. Both teams need points especially Man Utd so i think we might see a draw . So i agree with you that there is a big possibilty that we will see a draw in this match |

Very strange to see this short result in Anfield, more considering both teams are good on ofensive, and weak in defense.
Liverpool still need to cover some things, you cant play that bad in defense, Fulham without doing so much generate really risk situations, also until the last play Fulham had the draw in the foot of the Cordova Reid.
City game i dont see it so i cant talk.
Liverpool for me honestly always with a surprise in their gameplay. Last time i was thinking there wasnt gonna be any goals against Tottenham and ended up being a lot. Now i expected a lot and only 1-0 and there were a couple of chances on both sides in the second half. Liverpool with an important win for the champions league race |

Man City 0-0 West Ham at halftime. West ham parked the bus and they survived the first half somehow. I think we can expect that City puts more presure. If they score one goal they will score a couple of more,i dont think that West Ham will be able to hold City in the second half

Few hours from now, the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets will have their first game with each other in the 2nd round (Semis) because they are the first ones who finished their respective series in the West. While the Lakers just eliminated the Grizzlies recently and they are now on a waiting game for the winner of Warriors vs Kings.
Only 1 game for today but I won't let this game slide. Nuggets will host the first two games.
Denver Nuggets -2.5 vs Phoenix Suns - Final tip-off revealed that both teams are healthy and no injuries listed beforehand. Good luck!
This is one of those matches that you know are gonna go in 7 games. Denver looks really good,but Phoneix with Durant is something else and i think this will be intresting to watch. Im expecting lots of close games. Also didnt expect Lakers to win the series against Grizzles that was a big win for the Lakers after barely making the playoffs |

Manchester City is a very promising team in the Champions League. I think this team will secure any title this season. Because this team is able to perform better than other teams. However, Manchester City will have a great fight with Real Madrid in the Champions League.
I admire Manchester City's performance this season especially after the arrival of Erling Haaland. But we cannot ignore the history of Real Madrid's achievements in the Champions League, it cannot be considered a small matter. Real Madrid have players with the mentality that everyone knows especially in the Champions League, they is not going to back down just because Manchester City striker Haaland is doing great. Real Madrid is a team that always wins in big matches and i think after last season defeat that City will play match more cautious. So we might not even see a lot of goals between these two teams even if head to head says so. City looks more dominant now so theybare the favorties |

all in all, after first week of play-offs, Barca is the only top4 team with two wins, all other have mini-breaks at home, Real lost both matches
Barca will probably finish it off in second week, as well as Maccabi, Olympiakos is going to need fifth match in Athens to kick-out Fenerbahce, and not sure what to think about Partizan now, hoping to not slip the lead due to bans, but when complete, I am positive that we can win fifth in Madrid, if that happens
I heard some news that Punter might not be banned in the final four, but i think that is really hard still. Barcelona has a lock to go through but it wont be easy in Kaunas. The most intresting duel is between Fenerbahce and Olymipakos i honesty dont know who can win the series here |

I just came across this interesting tennis news: ''ATP announces line judges to be fully replaced by technology''''Human line judges will be replaced by an electronic calling system on a full-time basis on the ATP Tour from 2025.
The ATP, which is the men's governing body, said the move will "optimise accuracy and consistency" in events.Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/65420666What do they think about it? Will tennis lose its charm in this way? I believe that the errors of the line judges were an integral part of the game, as in football, and that the line judges should remain. I'm glad to hear that Wimbledon and the French Open don't want to change anything and will keep the line judges. I think that the hundred years long tradition should not be changed and I hope that also some other tennis tournaments will decide to keep this tradition. It will be better for tennis because their wont be anymore mistakes with faults and those things. Only bad thing is that a lot of people will lose their jobs and that is the only bad thing. It wont lose its charm because tennis would be a lot more fair and room for error. |

The first half is over and the score is still 3-2 in favor of Crystal Palace. This was an interesting match, even though West Ham took the lead in the early minutes, Crystal Palace immediately turned things around with 3 consecutive goals scored by their players. But before halftime Antonio scored 1 additional goal for West ham which made the number of goal deficits narrow. Crystal Palace's slight advantage is not completely secure, I think in the second half the two teams will still reciprocate goals. Crystal Palace had to score one more goal to lock in their victory until the match was over.
Regretted missing this game, it was an interesting match when many goals could be scored with a final score of 4-3 to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace's win allowed them to get past Chelsea for a while but it's bad for West Ham because they finally got 2 defeats this week so they can't improve their ranking to get away from the relegation zone because with only a few matches left this season their position is not completely secure . Brighton vs Wolves, Brighton has led 4-0 within 40 minutes, this is an extraordinary performance from them, maybe this will be the biggest defeat that will be suffered by Wolves because in the second half Brighton is very likely to score again. In this match, the chances created by Brighton turned into goals because Wolves' defense was very weak and Wolves' defense is indeed very weak this season because they have conceded more goals than they have scored. Even wolves coach looks so confused the approach to the game was full of mistakes Is it not a good thing to see Brighton taken good use of those chances yes that's what they should do sckre enough goals to make wolves difficult to attack for goals. Brighton has a good way from building from the back to midfielder's plenty of confidence have been seen Wolves got destroyed and it can get even worst for them until the match finishes. Brighton with this win is so close to europe and an important win for them. Forrest also leading in an important match for survival and its a question if they can hold until the end |

Today we have some easy games to predict,at least on paper and the only one which I think is going to be a draw is Crystal Palace vs West Ham as both teams have somewhat similar recent forms,both teams lost in the midweek games but both teams also have won their prior 3 games so for me the home advantage here is almost nonexistent as the last time Crystal Palace won was in boxing day of 2019 at home while the last win of them is in November 0-1 in the reverse fixture so most like West Ham will be for a revenge here as Lucas Paquetta has been scoring goals recently and a draw is the most logical result.
For the other two games I think we all agree they should be home wins unless some nasty surprise happens.
Westham United is already leading 1-0. I suspected them to score about 2 goals. I watched their game against Liverpool and their attacking threats was impressive even though they lost the match. They’ve been playing well since they got near the relegation zone. Crystal palace are also playing well and they’ll get some goals for themselves too and with the way the game is going, it’ll might end in a draw, with more goals. What a turn the match took. Its 3-1 for Crystal Palace now and West Ham cannot be found on the field. If West Ham losses this they will complicate things for them really much. While Crystal Palace if wins confirms their stay in the premier league next season. |

Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed, currently Al-Nassr is leading with a one score by Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems like this match will be won by Al-Nassr, because they are also more in control of this game with 63% Ball Possession in the first half and a few more shots attempt rather than Al-Raed. But in the second half Al-Nassr must be able scored again to secure three points, because I think 1-0 is not a safe score for them.
The match is over already. Sure, Al Nassr won (Al Nassr 4 - 0 Al Raed). Ronaldo only scored 1 goal, but it showed that he can contribute well in this match. However, this winning won't change anything, Al Nassr is still in 2nd place because Al Ittihad leads with 3 point difference. Al Ittihad also has 1 unplayed match, if they won it they will lead with 6 point difference again. Today Al Nassr got a good result, sadly it can't make them improve their position. Ronaldo opened the match with a goal and once he opened it was for sure they were gonna win. They played an amazing game plus Ronaldo played really good and showed that with his age he is still a top class player. But still i dont think they can reach first place its not in their hands anymore. |

another lose for Everton, and situation is now real grim
our play could be seen as fourth goal that we conceived, Isak rolled down whole our team to get to goal line, that is how we play this season, circling around and cannot get wins
new round starts right away, more matches in this round, and we are facing Leicester in a relegation derby, seems that we are best candidates for Championship, although winner from this one will be in much better position, Southampton is already out now
Big loss for Everton at home can cost them also in the goal scoring difference aswell. Everton needs points fast because the battle is really close and it would be a huge shame for a team so big in england to get relegated to championship. Everton slips away every season from not getting relegated i dont know if they can pull another miracle now aswell |

Dortmund dropped easy points today and it looks like they just cannot deal with the presure of winning the title like Arsenal. Bayern Munich again has everything in their hands . Will be intresting to see what will Bayern Munich do in the next match

Everyone is acting like Arsenal is done for and the league is over and City will win it. First of all, Arsenal is still leading the league right now with 2 points, yes it is true that City has 2 less games so that means a potentially 4 point lead, but if they lose even just one of those games or tie, that means a total of 3 or 4 points, and that means that 2 point lead for Arsenal will become just 1 or 2 point lead for City. In that case if Arsenal wins every game, and City just loses one, or even in one case tie, then City would lose and Arsenal would be the winner.
I see that as a potentially possible thing, how many games City has left? 6-7? Something like that, they may lose or tie in 2 of those, that is a very valid argument, and Arsenal may still have a chance. I am not saying that will be the future, none of us knows, but lets not act as if the league is over neither.
Arsenal failed to maintain their consistency in the last few games. The series of bad results they got made the chance to win the championship loose. Football is not mathematics that can be determined, but if people who understand football then they will dare to say Manchester City will be champions. Now it's all in Manchester City, the Premier League title is in their hands, it seems very difficult for them to let go again. Arsenal lost too many points against teams that were in the bottom and the league isnt won on big games it is won on small games. If they didnt slip against those bad teams they could have even lost to City and had a big advantage . While now City has everything in their hands and i think they will take the title easily. |

The punishments are in. Lessort 1 match ban, Punter 2 match ban from Partizan. From Real Madrid Yabousele 5 match ban and Deck 1 match ban.
shame on Euroleague Lull started all shit, and did not get any punishment for that, and Partizan lost best players for third match and Punter for fourth match as well (chances are we will have to play fourth match without main players in third match) and why the hell Punter got bigger punishment than Lessort? seems that Real is pushed to get back their position after this, although they started whole thing Well the only thing im intrested is if Partizan win the third game will Punter be able to play in the semi final or not. He is our best player and in third game Partizan might play without three players. Punter and Lessort are the best plus Exum if injured might be the third best player that wont play. Even with home advantage it will be rough to win |

Yabousele must be banned for a long time after what he has done. I just wonder how many players will be banned. But i wouldnt be surprised if they ban a couple of partizan players just to help Real Madrid. But once they came to Belgrade it will be the hottest atmosfere ever seen
Well, to be honest, Partizan players aren't inoccent too, I think that Lessort is likely to get ban after what he done to Musa. Punter didn't kept his head cool, but I can understand him after such Llull foul. I'm not sure that Euroleague is going to help Real by banning Partizan players. But I think that Real may try to ask to held game without spectators for security of their players. I hope it won't happen, otherwise Eurloeague will hit new bottom. BTW, Exum left arena with cruches, it looks sad: https://twitter.com/BasketNews_com/status/1651706213430878208The punishments are in. Lessort 1 match ban, Punter 2 match ban from Partizan. From Real Madrid Yabousele 5 match ban and Deck 1 match ban. I think that Real Madrid got a good boost for the third game because Partizan lost their two best players in the next game. Also if Partizan wins i dont know if that means that Punter wont play in the semi-final? |

Allthough I think that it would be better for Murray to retire, he has nothing to prove anymore, I don’t think he will do it anytime soon. Allthough he will never reach his prime form again, he just loves the game too much. He can still win some matches but after 3-4 matches, his body can’t handle it anymore.
With all of his injuries that he has ,he is playing solid and is fighting hard. We might see him for 2-3 more years,he always wins a few games but just cannot win that title that would mean a lot to him. Really sad that he just cannot win at least one more and i truly hope he does |

What happened today in Madrid is shame. Real simply don't know how to lose. I haven't seen anything similar since when Nenad Krstic was throwing chairs: https://twitter.com/BasketNews_com/status/1651690275016699908I'm not going to justify players of both teams, but Yabuselle should be banned from basketball, it's not wrestling. Seems that Exum got injured by him. I'm wondering how many players of both teams will be banned for the next game. And I'm trying to imagine how ''warm'' welcome Real will get in Belgrade. I think that case is closed now and and Partizan will close series in Game 3 Difficult to comment something about other game after things that happened in Madrid but I will say few words. We saw completely different face of Monaco than in Game 1. Compliments goes to coach Obradovic. Yabousele must be banned for a long time after what he has done. I just wonder how many players will be banned. But i wouldnt be surprised if they ban a couple of partizan players just to help Real Madrid. But once they came to Belgrade it will be the hottest atmosfere ever seen |

Another win for Partizan and now its 2-0 and we have made two breaks on their field. Competely destroyed Real Madrid in this second match. But what an incident in the end of the match and with 1:45 left to go the game ended because of a crazy fight in the end.

Manchester United is having a nice time tonight leading with 2 goals in the first half of the match is quite a good start for Manchester United and this match against Tottenham Hotspur is quite a good team that can not easily be defeated like this and its shows that luck is on Manchester City side tonight and if they're managed to add more goals in the second half of being able to defend their already 2 gaols will make their point difference on the table coming up against other competitors in this season.
Manchester United have really picked up in form in recent games, but then the season Is almost at its end and this could not make much difference.
Man utd easily winning against a terrible Tottenham. If Man Utd wins this against a direct rival for champions league spot i think this will seal the deal for next season for sure for them. While Tottenham might not even play in europe next season. Because Brighton has a few games less then them. |

Chelsea lost 2-0 to Brentford team at home, adding another match to their terrible results.Although we saw that the hosts chelsea were superior in terms of dominance, we saw in this match that superiority is not enough to win the match.Azpilicueta scored an own goal in the last minutes of the first half to put his team 1-0 down.Chelsea, who increased the pressure, could not find a goal no matter what they did.In the second half, they won 2-0 with mbeumo's goal in the 78th minute.Brentford managed to score 2 goals in one shot as a team.
Chelsea is really bad and when you think they cannot due worst they go down even more. Firing Tuchel was a bad thing to do and now with the third coach of the season they cannot get a draw let alone win a game. Chelsea fans must really be angry at their team. So much money was wasted the results are awful. |
