Even though it is small, Tuchel still has hope of avoiding dismissal if he succeeds in bringing Munich to the Champions League trophy this season, talking about Munich chances in the second leg, of course it really depends on the performance of the Munich players later, if indeed the Munich players want Tuchel to stay in munchen, they should be able to play optimally in champions league,  If we observe, Lazio is actually not a tough opponent if the Munich players can do their best in the next match, because so far Lazio performance is actually worse than Munich and even if they win in the first leg, of course it won't be more than a lucky penalty, so I think there is still a chance for Munich to make a comeback in the second leg.

We actually can't blame Tuchel completely, because after all we know that Tuchel is a great and experienced coach all this time so I think the squad currently owned by Munich must also be responsible, including Kane, I'm not talking about the possibility of curse Kane for failing to win trophy, but in fact I see that Kane performance in Munich is not very good, maybe it is true that he has  scoring a lot of goals at the moment, but if you pay attention, Kane actually can't to be the difference when Munich faces important and crucial matches this season.
Bayern Munich are a team known to have full dominance of the German League. They’ve been the only consistent team in this league and that has earned them the trophy for constant 12-15 years and that’s a laud reign period. This team is known to be very consistent and is also known to score very top goals. They’re widely known in Europe for the large amount of goals they bang whenever they face an opponent and this is one major reason why they’re known to be a force in Europe.

 Tuchel took over this team and they became a shadow of themselves especially as his pattern of play wasn’t effective for them. It made their attacking prowess grow less and they began struggling while at the opponent’s goal post.This situation has now made them look almost trophyless as their only hope for silverware is the UCL which they’re not even seen as any favorite for the trophy. For this reason the board took an early decision to let go of Tuchel and I really agree with them on this decision. This situation has now landed Tuchel under pressure because him going trophyless with a big team like Bayern who even added Kane to their squad who’s meant to poach even more goals for the team is a big dent on his career.

 So I understand the pressure Tuchel is on right now and I think getting the team to glory in the UCL or at least the final can be his only saving grace to his already diminishing career. The team needs to perform optimally and at high level to be able to do the come back and not just that but also playing greatly in the other stages of the competition will also be a plus for them. As it will help them proceed to other stages of the competition. The players should also have a fair share of the blame especially as Tuchel succeeded with a Chelsea side who was already written off so I think probably the players aren’t happy with him and decided to play without fire and they can be his saving Grace too.

Roma have to beware of Monza because this team is in the good shape and recently they had successfully to beat Milan and Salernitana and Monza was total can collect 11 points from 5 matches in Serie A so this team cannot be underestimate and for Roma we all know under De Rossi Roma has found their top performance again and the latest is Roma can able to eliminate Feyenoord in Europa League and Roma also can win from Torino last week and this is interesting to know who is the winner of this match because both teams in the good conditions

From squad conditions i can see Roma first goalkeeper Rui Patricio was into the bench after recover from his injured but apparently De Rossi is more likely to play Mile Svilar this because since he was played Mile Svilar can able to performing well and according to Roma squad almost all of their players will be available including El Shaarawy, Dybala and Lukaku because confirmed these players in the good fitness and they will be ready to play today even so with Monza because all of their main players in the good fitness too and Roma is the favourite but Monza will not easily to beat because their current records is very impressive but cosidering the recent performance from them is looks equal and i think this match potentially can be ended to draw and the odds for draw is very good @3.50
The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies.

 The European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi 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. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza today and the game outcomes actually went in their favor.

 They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match today. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Brighton.

PSG was leading the game by owning more ball possessions but monaco was able creating more shot on target rather than PSG. it's surprising me how no goal happened from this match. There's something wrong with PSG and monaco. These clubs have been so wasteful in this game.
As you can see that monaco and PSG wasted so many chances. This is also making no change in the current standing. PSG is still leading the competition with very big gap to the second place. PSG has been performing so badly especially for the attacking lines.
These attackers were unable in maximizIng its chances to scored at least one goal against monaco. The thing that impressed me is barcola. This guy is relaly having a lot of potential to be the next great winger.

Enrique has been getting very good talent to replace mbappe and he was barcola. The bad result against monaco can be a good lesson for PSG to perform better in the upcoming games. It can still lead the game with very big gap. I see that several time PSG's players are always shooting straight to the ball instead of aiming the free space to put ball in the back of the net.
This is really awful performance from the expensive attackers owned by PSG. I salute to the defensive line of monaco caused by it was able blocking so many attacks from SPG. Totally unpredictable result.
It's hard to understand that the result is very different compared to the first leg.
The League match between these two teams were getting intensed especially as Monacco were in a bid to steal a point or more to maintain their stand on Ucl qualification next year. This match happens to be one match that was a stepper to actualizing that dream. Before this match, We had Monacco who got all 3 points in the last match and they played exceedingly well. In this match, though Monacco weren’t at their best but they put up a performance that’s considered to be that of warriors.

 PSG who played away were very poor in this match and this has shown that this PSG side is one team that can’t be relied on. The attackers are doing little or nothin in making this club be a productive side and it’s quite worrisome that this is the case after the much spent on the club. Well they just got a new coach who’s trying to balance the team and it’s quite understandable. Yes they’re leading the league standings with a very good number of points and for that I think they don’t have much a worry rather they’ve got to try to improve especially for a competition like the UCL.

 For Monacco, they were pretty good with the shots but weren’t able to convert them to goal and that shows the need for the team investing. Investment is what gets a team to attain a great level of productivity and that’s what Monacco needs at this point as they’re and could be heading to the UCL next season. In all the match was sure a great match and I think both teams had one or two correcetions to take home after this match as it’ll help the team in general to grow better for future matches.

I think we all probably know that Madrid recently have only won a few games with a few goals and very narrowly, which is probably because the absence of Bellingham and Joselu has had an impact on the number of goals Madrid scores against each opponent, against Valencia today it will certainly be a bit In contrast to Joselu and Bellingham playing in today's match, it allows them to win by more goals against Valencia, clearly this victory is very necessary to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

A win against Valencia today will certainly allow Madrid to maintain further distance from Girona, because Girona seems to be starting to try to get back up and be confident again to be able to continue their winning trend, Madrid must not waste this match against Valencia, at least they will get three full points so they can maintain their position at the top of the standings and win the Laliga title this season, if Madrid fail in the UCL at least they can get another title, including in this domestic league.
For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still knows his worth, Ancelloti for one doesn't joke with his key men either. The youngster as advantageous to the team and he has his special way of making every game count as victory for the club.

 His versatility is envied but this doesn't give the leisure of switching his inert position on the pitch. Everyone would anticipate the growth of this player and the feats he'd attain. For some weeks, he's been out due to injury and thankfully he's recovered and ready to bounce back into the team to continue his good performances. Tonight, they'll be playing against Valencia and the goal they've got on them ahead of this clash is to  ensure they secure the 3points. The time left this season is very much critical for teams and Madrid shouldn't trade their chances too. At thesame time.

 it's certain that Valencia themselves won't be fair on them as they're also questing for a victory in the game. Everybody wants to get a right spot on the league table and they have to work extra to attain it. Well I don't know how the odds for the game would turn out but it's seeming likely to be in favor of Madrid considering their position on the league table and all past games as well as all time head to head. Valencia have the home advantage, hopefully, they'll be able to make do with it to their good but we'll just have to anticipate the result of the game tonight.

The European League has now reached the round of 16 and the teams that are still remaining in the European League are the best teams available even though of how bad their performance is in the domestic league, currently we can say that Liverpool is the strongest candidate to win the trophy apart from performance, those who are quite good, of course their experience in playing and winning the Champions League will be their main asset, I don't mean to underestimate Leverkusen, but I think compared to Leverkusen, Milan is actually still better at the moment in the European League even though they are not at the top of the Serie A standings because we cannot deny how Milan has been able to surprise many people when their play in European Competitions so far, meanwhile, our Leverkusen admits their greatness in the Bundesliga, but so far I have not seen Leverkusen face a strong team in the European League.

The atmosphere of domestic leagues and European competitions is very different so we cannot underestimate other clubs because they only perform badly in the domestic league So far, many teams have appeared dominant in the domestic league but have performed quite badly when they play in European competitions,maybe you all know that Sevilla is the club with the most European league champions at the moment, but haven't they never won La Liga since 1946?
The Europa League knockout round play offs was an encouraging game outcome for a couple of teams considering that they had to struggle through from the group stages and even were able to advance to the next stage of the competition. Well everyone knew it'd be tough for most teams as they were striving to have a meaningful outcome but only a few could be victorious. Sadly for Lens, Rennes, Toulouse from the French Ligue 1, yes they did their best to stay in the competition and they made meaningful impacts so far in their domestic league games and even in the Europa league but just a little goal margin they weren't able to cover up costed then their advancement.

 Even though accepting the fact that their opponent wasn't as easy for them, they still tried to stay in the competition both in the first and second legs too. The qualified teams though definitely earned it and it's something to be proud of as I'm even as the game and tournament's tempo was high, they didn't bulge or shrink in performance. This only means that the advanced teams would have an extra job to do to be meaningful as every advancement stage means a tougher battle ahead.

 These teams have all time being best and epic in their respective leagues which also earned them the qualification ticket too, as in the UCL, the UEL is another European contest umbrella that's tough and has a lot of competition in it. One would sit back being patient to predict the winner of the tournament as jumping into predictions now will be risky. These teams left are tough and won't take the tournament easy on themselves. Every team wants to come out victorious, so no one can actually place how much intensity each team would bring to the pitch on matchday.
786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 02, 2024, 05:37:57 PM
I think for now Osimhen should not be too hasty in deciding on a choice because after all when a player will be at a new club then it is definitely about how the continuation of the career he has.
Last season was Osimhen's brilliant career although for now he has experienced a slight setback but there are still many big clubs who want his services.

For Chelsea there is no problem joining this club because they are still one of the big clubs with high resources even though in these 2 seasons they are not running as they should but on the other hand Osimhen must realize that this is about his future.

Currently, Chelsea's performance is not very good and looking from history not after the loss of Drogba and Torres from the squad I don't think there is a single striker who really shines for Chelsea because all strikers have always been a failure when at Chelsea. In addition, looking at the track record of players who have been in Serie A and moved to the EPL sometimes their fate is not very good so this is a good reference for Osimhen to consider his future.
The different tension of the EPL sometimes makes some players with a slow style of play in the previous competition make it difficult to adapt well and not a few star players from Serie A are destroyed in the EPL.

Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he'sore or less the fans' favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm. He's just got more impacts to make. Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go.

 It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too. Since Osimhen joined Napoli, he's been their key player and he's been doing his striking job perfectly without errors, even in times of emotional derailment from fans and the coach, he's still being able to keep his mind focused. He's in no wise the best thing that's happened to Napoli. He's the best addition to the team. Although Chelsea are having eyes on him but it's likely that Napoli won't let him slip without a very good replacement for him.

 His exit will place a threat to the teams performance subsequently and they may likely go back drastically. For Chelsea, he may not be able to cope immediately, he'd need time to blend and it's likely that the Chelsea pattern may not fit him. No doubt he's got the decision to make but he's got to weigh the options too considering that Chelsea can as well give him a whole new experience to football even though they're declining currently in their performance.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 02, 2024, 05:26:55 PM
at this time I have to say if you are right that currently Bayern Munich has no hope of getting the title but there are still 10 more matches remaining which can change the bad into the stronger and the strong can change into very bad.
now we see that from the start of the season Bayern Munich appeared impressive and experienced a decline in performance towards the end of this season and problems like this were never thought of before because Bayern Munich is the biggest team that always dominates the bundesliga, but can the problems experienced Bayern Munich not be experienced by Leverkusen ?
I'm not a fan of Bayern Munich and not a fan of Leverkusen but I'm just worried that our speculation will be paid by Bayern Munich at the end of the season when it displaces Leverkusen and a team that looks very consistent and very strong like this is very scary like Bayern Munich which was very strong at first but finally experiencing a decline in performance that is difficult to predict.

unless Leverkusen has a big difference of around 15 points from Bayern Munich but only has 5 matches remaining, I would be more confident if everything is over but the difference is 7 points from the remaining 10 matches, everything can change without us being able to predict.
Munich in recent games haven't been able to perform at the rate they're definitely known for, there's been visible loopholes that keeps reoccurring which is likely to be a negative impact to their season's quest. They've played against teams less performing than them but still it's been a difficult task for them to stay in shape and on top too. This only shows how shaky they've been on the pitch and how less likely they are to bring forth a buoyant game results for themselves.

 Just 10 more games to go and one would wonder if they'll be able to cover up lapses even though Leverkusen have been able to stay unbeaten and have given them useful point gaps too.
Yesterday they played away to Freiburg and sadly, they couldn't even try to get a win from the game and this only means that they aren't even living up to expectation considering how well they've performed in past seasons. This season kind of started off fine for them but lately keeping up the tempo has been an issue.

 One would wonder how they managed to depreciate drastically in their level of performances so far. It only shows how unpredictable football is and how much different they've become negatively. Their rate of performance currently is going to cost them their own spot on the league table. They've been inconsistent in good performances and it only gives Leverkusen more chance to cover up and still keep enough gaps in points between them.
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 02, 2024, 04:29:14 PM
It looks like it will be a little complicated when looking at the current conditions of the two clubs.
Manchester United still have problems for their blunt attack line especially at this time Hojlund is still unable to play because of problems in his current leg which requires him to rest a few more weeks.

At the moment I still hold on to Manchester City in the big match this time even though Manchester United in terms of their performance are still very good but when facing Manchester City I am quite sure they will be very troubled by the performance and strength of Manchester City's midfield which is still very good especially last week in the FA Cup Manchester City got a very extraordinary result thanks to the quartet of assists made by KDB and the quintrick created by Haaland in the match which will certainly add enthusiasm and a good mental boost for Manchester City.

Currently Manchester City are still quite superior in terms of odds even though they are playing away but in this case it does not rule out the possibility that we will see the match become a draw even though it is the worst possibility for Manchester City because surely they will aim for 3 points.

The Manchester Derby happens to be one of the very big derbies of the football world generally. This kind of fixture have a lot of fun and it also have this high tension it gives. Now the time this fixture is coming up is already tensed and it’s a great feeling for the fans. Looking at the crisis amidst this fixture it means the fixture will be very great and fun. The injury from the Manchester United squad is one very big problem for them.

 The absence of their striker is one major problem for this Man United squad at this time as they’re very unproductive in front of goal. You can see how they’ve been struggling in the past 2 matches without Hojlund. You can only imagine how much they’ll against an organised team like Man City. Man City who’re trying to retain their EPL title will be coming into this match with the mindset of winning and not leaving any stone unturned. Their squad is back and all the players are in great shape and you can see it majorly from the mayhem they gave to Luton during the week.

 That match showed the clear partnership between KDB and Haaland, this kind of partnership will be a very big challenge for Man United especially as they’re not very organized defensively. For this match, I think  Manchester City are favorites and will sure be getting the win in this match. They’re in a tight chase and know the result if they should drop points in this match so to that end, I think they’ll try to give in all their best and get the win in this match.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: March 02, 2024, 03:52:48 PM

There are options such as Conte and Mourinho coming to my mind also. Mourinho already has a history with Manchester United. He said that it was one of his most difficult works to make this team finish in the second position.  Smiley  With that game plan of Mourinho it is of course difficult to succeed in this.  Tongue  His strategies are really boring truthfully.

Conte wouldn't be a bad choice in fact. He won Premier League and FA Cup titles with Chelsea before. Why wouldn't he be successful with Manchester United also?

Aside from that maybe Manchester United also would join the teams offering a contract to Xabi Alonso.
Manchester United has now slowly joined Chelsea in changing of managers at least every 2 seasons. The team has been performing poorly and for this reason, there’s a need for them to want to change management. ETH came in his first season and the whole fans were excited and the excitement grew even wild and well when he led the team to get the League Cup in his first season. He received a laud applauds and he was commended for his efforts.

 This feat made the board grow confidence in him and released some funds for him to acquire his choice of players to enable him achieve huge success this season. The reverse became the case here as he wasn’t able to achieve anything and currently the only chance of silverware is the FA Cup where they’ve been drawn to face their arch rival, Liverpool. This kind of situation is what’s pushing the club want to get rid of ETH and want to hire a better coach for the club. Well talking about a better coach, I think they’ll need a very good tactician with wide range of experience in the league.

 Yes Conte and Mourinho are very great options as these coaches have achieved hige success already in the league and achieving great success level this season wouldn’t be a bog deal. With the new management at the club, I think funds will be released for the new coach to get good players. Even if not getting new players, I think the current squad can be well managed to achieve huge success and a tactician with EPL. experience can achieve this.. I don’t think Xabi to Man United will work even if they try so it’s a NO for me.

PSG and bayern munich became unfavored club for me to win UCL. The performance from these clubs were so poor even though they have spent a lot of money to build the club but it means nothing. Manchester city is still leading the way to get UCL this season along with real madrid and intermilan.
I don't understand why arsenal being included into the favorite club to win UCL this season while it was not even able getting europa league last season. We are all hoping that there will be very entertaining match between real madrid vs the big club like city or intermilan

That will be very entertaining i guess. This round is so fucking easy for some big clubs to qualify but i think that there will be another interesting match to come soon. Manchester city will have a strong club to be its opponent in the upcoming game.
Barcelona is still performing quite well and it needs only to win with good aggregate to quality for the another round. Manchester city is still on the right way to win back to back treble winners again this season. Things are going to be very easy if Mcity will face easy opponent in the upcoming game.

As long as there will always be haaland and de bruyne. Im feeling city has power to get UCL back to back again. Manchester city is still on full power right now to win the trophy soon.
Pep's team is still on the track to get treble winner again this season.
The UCL is one competition im Europe that has majorly teams who’ve done well and attain certain levels in their league that season qualifying for the elite competition. This competition is one that is loved by all and majorly won by the big money spenders who have invested a lot in their club. At the start of the competition each season, there are usually favorites to win the competition and this season wasn’t short of that. We had favorites and we had the likes of current holders, Man City, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern and the likes.

 Well in every competition as time goes in, we see teams surprisingly decline in performance and  that’s the story of Bayern and PSG. They’re supposed to be favorites but they’re currently playing like teams and for this reason no one is seeing them as a threat of any kind. These teams have also spent and invested heavily into club football like others but things went sour and I think the coach pattern wasn’t favorable especially for a team like Bayern. For PSG, I will say they’re quite okay with how they play as the less competition in the league isn’t making them worried at all.

 I think the major favorites are Man City and Real Madrid then we can look at the likes of Inter Milan and Arsenal especially as Arsenal are an improved and full of young blood but I think experience will have to come to play. Well this year’s edition will be filled with enough surprises and fun especially with the City and Madrid squad now getting complete. I’m majorly rooting for Real Madrid to get this title because they’re having a better team of the two.

I'm surprised to see AC Milan as the most favorite team to win Europa League title. AC Milan is no longer as strong as the previous season, there is a big change in AC Milan performance. Although AC Milan performed better in Serie A this season, but they performed worse in UCL. Eliminated from UCL very early is just a proof that AC Milan no longer a strong team in International competition like UCL or UEL. On the other hand, we must understand that Leverkusen and Liverpool performed impressively during this season. They are playing almost perfectly in their leagues and in Europa Leagues group stage. Leverkusen even didn't get a single defeat so far, they break the record of unbeatable team in the season. According to the performance of those teams so far, I think Leverkusen should have the biggest chance to win UEL title this season.

This is my top 3 teams to win UEL title:
1. Bayer Leverkusen
2. Liverpool
3. AC Milan

TBH, I expect AC Milan to play better in UEL. But I'm not sure if AC Milan can play better than Leverkusen and Liverpool. I strongly believe that most people will agree Leverkusen and Liverpool as the favorite teams to be in the final round.

In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest. Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture.

 The highest probable winner would be Leverkusen, then Liverpool and any other team behind. In essence it's safe to say that if the draws are favourable, then Liverpool would battle with Leverkusen in the final game of the tournament. Between these two teams, Liverpool have been trying though, they're anticipating the EPL trophy, and as well the Carabao cup too where they last week won Chelsea to secure the trophy.With this in their minds, the next goal will be to keep advancing in the UEL and staying intact in the EPL too.

 For Leverkusen, they've been impactful, currently the top spot in the Bundesliga too and so they've got same goal as Liverpool and therefore if in recent times they've remained unbeaten, then I doubt that there'd be a negative difference now when the tournament and season is almost rounded up. For me, I'll really love to see the heated game between Leverkusen and Liverpool in the UEL soon though and I have a feeling they'd be made to play against themselves.

This is a very good start for the Girona club in the future, even though they are a new team compared to other clubs, but so far they have proven to the world community that Girona is a great team and is not inferior to the oldest team.
With the proof of being successful in occupying second place in the current standings and Girona also succeeding in shifting the Barcelona squad's position in the standings, in fact many people think this is extraordinary.
And this should be appreciated by Barcelona and Real Madrid because they met new opponents who were quite tough this season. I was very impressed when Girona managed to beat the Rayo Vallecano squad mercilessly with a landslide score of 3-0 and this victory further increased the performance of the Girona players. enthusiasm to reach the top of the standings.

Girona has currently managed to overtake Barcelona with 59 points and is two points behind Barcelona, whereas compared to Real Madrid, Girona is still 6 points behind so they must be able to add as many points as possible to catch up with Real Madrid. .
The Girona club is currently the team that has scored the most goals compared to other clubs in the Spanish League this season. In 26 matches, Girona managed to score 57 goals and from that number of goals, the Girona club managed to keep up with the giant teams, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona.
 Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Real Madrid because they are also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Madrid's home. In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first.

 But I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out. La Liga is definitely a competitive team and for the fact that against all odds, Girona have proven to stay in the top spot, it only means that there's definitely good fighting and resilient spirits in the teams there.

 The last weeks of the season games seems to be a walk over for Girona as they've in the first legs played to their best and have mastered rightly their strategies and the opposing team approaches, and so they've got better experience to countering the moves that'll be made. Real Madrid is definitely of all the league teams be their toughest opponent but I believe that they'll definitely find the best way to counter the moves that'll be made. It'll be beautiful to see that Girona in a long time would get to have a ticket to the European cup next season, they're not aiming for the La Liga trophy, they're definitely going for next season's European ticket and so far, it's seeming like a finished task, we only have to wait for the last table result on the La Liga.

Xabi Alonso succeeded in realizing something that was impossible to achieve for the Bundesliga clubs which so far were dominated by Bayer Munich, competing and heading towards the Bundesliga trophy is the dream of all clubs in the Bundesliga and currently Leverkusen has succeeded in making it happen with the help of Xabi Alonso, so far Xabi Alonso success in bringing Leverkusen towards to winning the Bundesliga so attracting many teams to make him a coach.

So far we keep hearing news about Liverpool and Munich's interest in Xabi Alonso, but actually we can't confirm whether this rumor is true or not because Liverpool and Munich have not yet made their official statements regarding this matter, so it is too early for us to interpret Alonso movein next season, let alone what Alonso really he  is have  a contract until 2026 with Leverkusen, to be honest, I don't agree if you say that Alonso has the opportunity to enter the list of the best coaches if he moves to another club, because he might actually fail when coaching a big team that has greater expectations than Leverkusen,  I think that if Xabi Alonso moves to another team, it is possible that his fate will be the same as Lampard and Gerrad, who previously managed to record good achievements with the first team they coached but actually failed miserably when they had to train a big team.
Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. Comparing Xabi's abiliy based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams.

 It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good, Well it'll only be fair and an added advantage to the German club if their hit maker coach stays the next season with them to keep up with the positive differences he's trying impart to the club. He's this season tried all his best and these bests have gained reasonable and quality feedbacks and results too. He can as well be so much proud of his achievements so far just as everyone else is proud of him too. It's not that easy to take a club out of hiding and placing them at the spotlight. One would expect a lot more from him and the only way by which this expected lot more can be gotten is via his retainment in the team.

 Well rumours overtime may have that there may be plans for Munich and Liverpool to sign him up to themselves but yes he may try to create another good difference there but it's only fair that he stays at Leverkusen. For one, I do know they won't want to let him out of their hands yet. The players love him, even after this attained height, it's believed that as a tactical coach, he's got better plans up his sleeves to be unveiled in the coming seasons and definitely, he's one man that'll be watched closely in terms of team performance wherever he finds himself.

Today Lazio and Milan will open the new week. Milan have stumbled a bit in recent games, they haven't won their last three matches. They have conceded 8 goals in these games, which shows the weakness of their defense. They have conceded a lot of goals in general this season. They had chased Juve in the league but missed the opportunity to catch them after failing to win their last two games. They still have a chance to finish 2nd and they are in a comfortable position in 3rd place, with no team below them close enough to bother them.
Lazio on the other hand are having good and bad results. They don't have much ambition in the league, they are in the middle of the table but they have Bayern München game on their minds. I think that's where all their focus is. So I don't think they can prepare much for the Milan game.

In the last matches between the two teams, there has always been a winner, never a draw. And usually the home team have won. But I see Milan with the advantage today. Lazio's mind will be on the next game. Milan seems to have more appetite for second place in the league. At odds above 2.05, a Milan win is a risk worth taking to me.
The Serie A game for the weekend will be opened with a tussle between Lazio who are very much confident in themselves and their ability so far to outshine Milan. They're the hosts and they've been able to record an encouraging game outcome in the past few weeks. The Serie A is gradually becoming a competitive league and it won't be a shock to see Lazio who for one in past times have been good competitors in the league, hold unto Milan till the last minutes.

 Checking the team stats, Lazio have been seen to have more wins than Milan, at thesame time, possessing bigger chances this time due to the drop in Milan's intensity of performance. Inter Milan have in the last weeks struggled to stay in every game they've had and even the few wins they've had were narrow victories which isn't a fully vested confidence against Lazio tonight. They're the visitors, they've had less wins all time against Lazio, recent performances have been poor and so there's less advantage for them to come out as the victors today.

 The odds in the game favours Lazio and then it's understandable that Milan will have to put in extra fighting efforts to give off a good, better performance. Fairly, the game ought to end in a draw, bit the chances are very much slim. They'll be inflow of goals no doubt but for my prediction, just one from these teams would gain the 3points tonight. We'd only have to stay back and watch patiently to see which of the two teams would have a brilliant performance played out on the pitch tonight too.

Unless they intend to play poorly today, it is very evident that they will win this match. Bayern Munich has struggled this season, which has led the team to decide that they will fire their current coach after the season. Freiburg is a small team against whom Bayern Munich can score more than four goals, but based on their recent play, I will simply state that they can win the match. If you want to bet on the game, you should only bet on a straight win rather than anything more than two goals because Bayern Munich is not a team that should be trusted this season.

Bayern Munich will take this match seriously because they are playing at away against Freiburg, and when a team plays at home, they take it seriously. Therefore, Bayern Munich must take this match seriously and quit their recent trend of playing well in certain games. If they lose this match again, it will be the end of their season and they won't have the chance to play Leverkusen again.
They'll be playing away to Freiburg who are also aimed at securing an European cup ticket next season. Considering Munich's performance in past few games, it's a boost to Freiburg's confidence adding that they'd be the host in the next Bundesliga encounter and also ignoring the fact that Munich have all time had a victory result against Freiburg. I would say it's best to judge the performance more based on recent games not all time games.

 Freiburg have an aim and target to meet and they'd be the host too, they have a better advantage. Munich have an aim too but they're the visitors and they've had unfavorable past games and so their confidence is definitely reduced to the nearest minimum with Freiburg acquiring all eagerness ahead of the encounter. Testifyingly it'll be shameful that Munich will play submissive to Freiburg though but we'd definitely get used to it knowing that that's how they've been at these end times of the season.

 Munich are the second placed team while Girone even though not yet close to the top 4 spot, they still have a wide vision to cover up points to secure the European ticket but it definitely won't be easy for them considering the caliber of teams ahead of them and their all time performances which is definitely at an average level this season. We'd hope that the weekend's game favours these two teams as they'll both be striving for a 3points win and it'll be intense. Tuchel hopefully would cover up lapses and be more efficient regardless of being the visiting team.

Tomorrow we will watch the meeting between Newcastle vs Wolves again at the St James Park stadium. Previously the two clubs had met each other and in the 5 matches that had taken place, the Newcastle team managed to win 2 times and Wolves managed to win 1 time and draw 2 times. .
And I see that in tomorrow's match there is a possibility that the result will be a draw again, seeing from the game that both clubs have strong defenses and it can be proven that in the previous match all the players performed very well. energetic.
I see that the two clubs are currently competing with each other in strength and ability, they are trying their best to add points, the difference in points between the two clubs is very small, they occupy positions between 9 and 10 of course. it is very interesting and exciting to follow their development.

And this is a big advantage opportunity for Newcastle, of course, in winning tomorrow's match because Newcastle is the host of the upcoming match, of course the players and team are very ready to face the Wolves squad and friends.
Moreover, Newcastle already had achievements by winning against Blackburn with a score of 3-4 and Newcastle entered the quarter-finals of the FA club event.
And of course, with the achievements they have achieved in the FA club event, Newcastle is very confident and confident of being able to beat Wolves tomorrow in the English Premier League match.
And conversely, the Wolves team should not be underestimated by Newcastle because they also have extraordinary abilities like the current Newcastle team and I see that the current Wolves players are also performing quite well so they are also ready to fight Newcastle and friends.
The EPL resumes and we’ve got every match holding it’s own fun, excitement and tension. That’s why the EPL is still considered a very great league as each team in that league is said to be improving after every match day. The way the Epl goes, it’s usually hard most times to predict because most times the underdog may set to give the surprise and get the 3 points or frustrate the big boys to a draw. This is why most stakers and bettors usually avoid carrying or betting on the EPL.

 One match of focus for tomorrow is the clash of the mid-table teams, Newcastle vs Wolves. This match promises to be one very exciting and entertaining fixture as both team are currently improved and are known to play similar pattern. Well taking a look at the Newcastle side, who were very improved last season but slack to an extent this season especially when they got eliminated from the UCL though injury was one big blow for them. Still you can tell that this team is also one team that could casue a shocker to you anytime of the match.

 Wolves on the other end have had some great results this season and they’re also very stubborn especially when defending and they attack so swiftly. They’re just like Newcastle and will require key investments to make them get to major tournaments. This match, I think I don’t have too much of expectation as I’m going to settle for a draw in this match and for safer option, I’ll double chance on Newcastle because they are now getting back on feet after that big loss to Arsenal. The match won’t sure be an easy one as both teams are very compact but I still think Newcastle have the better advantage because they’re playing at home.

Tuchel currently under pressure because he have to bringing Bayern Munich to performing well for each matches in all competitions and if Tuchel unable to do that i am sure he will received plenty of criticism from Bayern Munich fans and after lost from Lazio i have to says Bayern Munich performance still not reach to their top performance again even several weeks ago they lost from weak team Bochum and indeed Bayern Munich have already to gets the winning results in Bundesliga by beating Leipzig but i have to says their performance on that match is not really impressive

Kane was became an Bayern Munich top scorer from all competitions but i don't know why although Bayern Munich has sharp striker as the replacement of Lewandowski but their performance is still not stable and sometimes unpredictable however about second leg against Lazio the bookmakers even provide low odds for Bayern Munich @1 28 and for Lazio @11 but i don't think it would be so easy because i am sure Lazio will displayed defensive strategy to avoiding conceded early and during this season Bayern Munich home matches records in Champion League is not so impressive because on group stages Copenhagen has successfully to gets draw result from them at that time so after considering this record i think there is a chance for Lazio to at least gets draw result from Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich haven’t been at their best behavior and performance this season as they haven’t been able to live up to how we expected them to perform. They’re quite performing at a very low state and it’s not what we know this club to be. From the way they’ve gotten out of most domestic league cups and even lagging behind on the league chase, means the pattern of the coach, Tuchel isn’t really working and it’s not the best for this Bayern team.

 Well after securing some key signings especially the addition of Harry Kane who’s one prolific striker, many expected them to have a very high level of performance and productivity upfront. The reverse happens to be the case as they have been struggling to even get the goals for the team in general. This is not really what is expected as they’re one big club not just in Germany but in Europe as a whole. Now they fell to a 1-0 loss to Lazio in a match which they real dominated but were unlucky.

 This kind of scoreline and going to Allianz Arena means there’s to play for in the 2nd leg. What’s the hope this Bayern team will be able to overturn this deficit and get qualification? It’s not going to be one easy match but I think it’s quite possible especially if they decide to be very determined. Tuchel is set to leave already and no matter the result, he’ll be leaving at the end of the season. This is one major reason, I don’t think Bayern will be giving their all in this match as to me my favorite option will be to double chance on Bayern at 90 minutes.

Mental toughness is important in most cases, not just for a footballer but in any sports. However, we need to also realize one important part about all of this that nobody really talks about. Footballers are usually not from elite circles, doesn't mean there are none, but it is usually not that common that some aristocrat would let their kid be a footballer. Which means that footballers (and most other sports aside from a few) comes from poor backgrounds, from poor towns as well, usually surrounded by people who are uneducated as well.

This results with them not really knowing how to act properly when millions are watching them, so when they have mental problems, they are not educated enough (most footballers do not continue their studies) to ask for mental help. Psychologises are not that common when it comes to sports medicine but just as a footballer may break their leg, they may have emotional trauma that they need to talk to some professional about.

In most cases, they see that as weakness because they come from a background of people who never had them one to afford mental care, and that meant that they belittled people who did, and they acted tough when things went south. So these guys, who earn millions, never learned the value of getting therapy, and how that could help them realize their own issues and overcome them.

This may result with most of them having some breakdown in some cases, or at least have trouble within their life as well. We need to lift the stigma on asking for a mental help, it should be something that would help everyone.

And we may even start it with a little bit of forced way, like hire a phycology professional for each team, and get the players to see that person at least once every 2 weeks to talk, whatever they want to talk. That way, they can at least say they were forced to participate, and not be "weak" that asked for it, and get the help. After seeing how wonderful it is helping them, I promise you that they won't be able to stop going to it.
Well the mental state of humans is one part of humans that requires special recognition. This state of a human needs to be checked at all time especially before being hired for a job. In the world of football where we’ve got most of the key players usually from a lesser background, we’ve most of these players being seen as weak probably because of a bad performance they put out on the field some days. And after this kind of performance they’re being downcasted as most times are considered to be very weak.

 Thoughts of them being called weak can sure affect them psychologically And as such the need to always check for a psychologist. Now for success in these fight, I think Mental Health awareness campaign should be kicked off in earnest. This awareness program will be a big boost especially for footballers who often tend to get depressed and feel so down when they even get the least thing as an injury. I also think this campaign should be kicked out also outside the world of football.

 Many lives will sure be saved with this kind of awareness program amd it’ll be to the benefit of the human race. I’ll love to see improvements and I think a step in the right direction is to begin with the campaign then from there other things can fall in place. This would be very beneficial to the players and help depressed players improve their mental health.

In that the match, it could actually be said that Monaco will be more burdened even though they will be playing at home, facing PSG is not an easy job for Monaco, especially as they are required not to lose in order to secure their position to qualify for the Champions League next season because the ticket quota is intended for the Ligue 1 only has 4 tickets, positions 1, 2, 3 automatically qualify while position 4 must take part in the play offs, so like it or not, to avoid the play offs of course Monaco must be able to beat PSG and lock their position in second or third place at the end of the season later.

PSG position is very safe to get trophy in this season, but of course PSG will not let Monaco just win because after all PSG will still target victory to maintain their winning record, besides that if they succeed in beating Monaco it will make PSG quicker to claim their trophy, because he is getting further away from Brest who is ranked second.
Monaco desire to get 3 points and PSG hard work to maintain their track record means it is certain that the match will be very tough, even though in the end it is possible that PSG will beat Monaco by a narrow score in the match.
The Ligue 1 and it’s major competition between the lower placed teams well it’s kind of great but I expect it to grow better. A league ought to be challenging rather than leaving it all out for one team to have the major glory. The major reason why this league is still considered to be farmer’s league is how other clubs are so relaxed and enjoy PSG being crowned League Champions season in and out. It ought not to be so as these teams need to work real hard so as to put up a fight for PSG.

 Well let’s talk about the competition between teams for the UCL spot in the league. We’ve Monaco who are currently at 3rd wanting to go to the UCL and they must try to maintain this position or get to the 2nd spot to secure automatic qualification. Their next match is at home to PSG in an encounter I feel will be so thrilling as they’ll really need to get at least a point to still be very safe. Even though getting a point is s quite risky but at least it’s safer than losing all 3. PSG are coming to this match very comfortably and as such I think they’ll rest most of her attackers for their UCL fixture.

 Monaco will need to struggle it out though it won’t be any easy but it’s quite possible and can be done. Brest are also going to try to get a point to still be in the chase for 2nd spot, this should be a big push to Brest cause if Monaco lose against PSG today it would give Brest and opportunity to maintain the 2nd position and if they continue with this good form they’ll qualify for the UCL.

So far, Bayern Munich has a good record against Freiburg and of course that can be a plus for us to bet on Bayern Munich victory in the match, Indeed, currently Munich performance is not good, but the victory they got against Leipzig will certainly increase the confidence of the Bayern Munich players is getting bigger when facing Freiburg, which has a performance that is no bad than Munich at the moment.

In the match against Augsburg last week, of course we could see how the mentality of the Freiburg defensive players was down when their were continuously attacked, of course this cannot be a good asset when having to face a team that has better aggressiveness like Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich currently needs points in each of their remaining matches and of course Munich no longer wants to get negative results which makes their position further away from Leverkusen and also the threat of getting closer to Stugart who are below him to take second place, my prediction is that the match will be tough throughout the match, both Freiburg and Munich will definitely use all their strength to win the match, but of course in terms of quality, Bayern Munich will be able to beat Freiburg with a score of 2-0.
Munich in recent games haven't been able to perform at the rate they're definitely known for, there's been visible loopholes that keeps reoccurring which is likely to be a negative impact to their season's quest. They've played against teams less performing than them but still it's been a difficult task for them to stay in shape and on top too. This only shows how shaky they've been on the pitch and how less likely they are to bring forth a buoyant game results for themselves. Just 11 weeks to go and one would wonder if they'll be able to cover up lapses even though Leverkusen have been able to stay unbeaten and have given them useful point gaps too.

 They'll be playing away to Freiburg who are also aimed at securing an European cup ticket next season. Considering Munich's performance in past few games, it's a boost to Freiburg's confidence adding that they'd be the host in the next Bundesliga encounter and also ignoring the fact that Munich have all time had a victory result against Freiburg. I would say it's best to judge the performance more based on recent games not all time games.
