Their performance against Bangladesh was OK, because in the second innings some of their younger players (especially Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector) made good contributions with the bat. And also, Andy McBrine made a valuable 72 down the order. But against Sri Lanka, there were hardly any positives. The Lankans amassed a massive score in their first innings, and the Irish bowling was mediocre. And by the end of second day's play, Ireland is at 117/7, trailing the Lankans by a massive 474 runs. They are going to lose this match by an innings and 300+ runs.

Ireland all out on 143 runs and Sri Lanka took the follow on. Even in second innings Ireland failed to produce any decent results. So far Ireland have lost 5 wickets for just 77 runs. Ireland still trail by 367 runs and your prediction seems to be very much correct, if you have placed a bet (on what you have predicted) that then there are fair chances that you will be victorious. Stats of Sri Lankan batsmen and bowlers are improving in this test, Prabath Jayasuriya had his BBI as he picked 7 wickets in first innings.

@Sithara007 it’s a disappointing performance from the Ireland player’s, because I felt that they would at least put in some fight against the Lankans but they meekly surrendered the match. Lastly this abject performance shows that they’re yet to improve in this format, and those positives we saw earlier were only temporary and now their coach has to work on them a lot if he’s to improve their performance.

Six weeks to go for Nadal to recover before the French Open start, but this comeback will be even harder. He has close to zero serious competition before that. The last tournament with serious competition would be the tournament in Rome, but if he is not fit enough to play anything before that, it would probably be even a risk to go to Rome if he wants to play the French Open so badly. I know for us outsiders it is hard to understand what keeps him from playing for so long, but in soccer you usually know a concrete diagnosis. Nadal often disappears for a couple of months and it is hard to know what he actually has. Is it still his hi injury? Or is he being overly careful and will French Open be his last grand slam?

@shogun47 he has tried a lot to return but those injuries keep coming back which has effected his return, and I too believe that he’s targeting one last glory at the the French open before he calls it quits. Lastly if he continues to play it would be a very bad decision, but I can understand why he would be keen and it’s because of his strong mentality which convinces him not to give up despite these recerinng injuries.

RESULT: West Ham United 2-2 Arsenal

At one stage the game was in favour or Arsenal as they were winning 0-2 after just 10 minutes but one goal each side of half-time made it 2-2. Well done to West Ham for fighting back get a draw and a vital point for them but Arsenal also receive a point when they were on course to get 3 points. When the score was 1-2 Saka missed a penalty for Arsenal which would have made the score 1-3.

Arsenal have now played one game more than Manchester City and are four points ahead at the top of the league table. If Manchester City win that game in hand they will be just one point behind Arsenal.

There is one game remaining today: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United



@JollyGood it’s clear that Arsenal are crumbling under pressure, and if City win their remaining game then they’ll be under severe pressure and might go on to lose the top spot too. Also Manchester United won this game and they completely dominated Forest, and now it starting to look like Manchester United may hold on for the third spot in the premier league.

Now looking at their match record, this is the 7th match in all competitions that they have gone without a win after last winning against Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League in early March.
This is obviously really very bad and about Todd's problem he did have a big enough share of the fall, but on the other hand he was also involved in Chelsea because of internal political problems first and indeed for now Chelsea is really very bad and what they have only problems everywhere, both internally from club management and their current game performance.
The first mistake Todd Boehly did was to sack Thomas Tuchel and some backroom staff were also affected. I will not also blame Todd for investing close to $500m on transfers and signings because he taught he was doing the best thing for the club. He was thinking that good players can always get a good results. Now he knows he made some wrong decisions because sometimes that's not the case. Chelsea's only redemption will come from only the Champions League and I doubt if they can win that trophy. But sometimes luck contributes to the outcome of sporting events so everything is possible.

Graham Potter is the worst loser. He didn't know that Brighton was the lucky team this season. It is a team that is destined to shine this season but he left for a better opportunity that has turned out to be a nightmare.

Graham Potter already made big fortune from the sack he is no loser, I give potter now till the start of next season he will be signed to a new club he is indeed a good coach.
Chelsea will not recover so fast from all of the mistakes of Todd Boehly this nightmares will continue till next season, sacking marina also was such a big mistake, I feel for chelsea fans the issues will continue
What is happening in Chelsea now has proved me right, I never saw the coach as the problem of the club but the total overhauling of the players. Potter is a good and experienced coach, only Chelsea is facing what Man U faced some years ago, they can only come out of it with time. This might take the club at least 2 years to fix, so I never expected Lampard to do any miracle.

The 3 consecutive losses of the guy have now vindicated Potter who should have been given time and more resources to turn the club around.

@EarnOnVictor Todd has absolutely zero idea on how to run the club, and he’s only making mistake after mistake and at this rate he’ll probably get Chelsea relegated from the premier league in coming year’s. Also Lampard appointment is a good opportunity for gamblers to make money, as I expect Chelsea to lose almost all their remaining games hence wagering against Chelsea makes sense and is a good opportunity to earn extra money.

it looks like Stake requires you to undergo KYC, and I think they made it mandatory to you to comply in order to enjoy the services of the casino again.  Why not comply first and see if the problem is solved, and mostly if there is no problem with KYC, your account status will return to normal.


So far I have used Stake.com and have never had the slightest problem with service or withdrawals just because of a KYC.
Indeed stake sent a message to complete verification in order to be able to claim the bonus but Stake.com does not limit their service and withdrawal transactions to me.
I don't know if it's because I've never made a large amount of withdrawals and wins or what I don't know because what's clear is that I've never had any problems and actually Stake.com has made it easy for all of its customers.

Thus I am still a little doubtful whether he is really restricted by Stake.com.
regarding that of course he seems to have to do KYC when he wants to make a withdrawal, we don't know if he is really limited by Stake because he has no proof.
what is certain is that if Stake asks to do KYC when they want to withdraw funds, for me just do it because that is part of the rules that must be obeyed by every gambler.
after all big Stake casino which has good reputation, so no need to hesitate to do KYC.
but back to each gambler because sometimes there are gamblers who refuse to do KYC.
I have honestly never had a problem with withdrawals. not because i use Stake signature but since before joining this campaign i have bet on Stake and withdraw funds repeatedly without any problem.

@len01 I believe that something has triggered their system which has asked them to ask the user to complete KYC, and if he’s legit then he should have no issues with his Stake account post the KYC. Furthermore Stake is a reputed site and many user’s have done their KYC successfully hence one can trust them, and therefore if you’re ever asked for KYC just do it because delaying it makes one looks guilty.

^  That sht's scary bro.  Lol.  What's the sound like when you play?  I hope it's not something you don't wanna play alone in your room at midnight.  Cheesy  You know..  as a kid I used to play Diablo II.  And there are some parts of the game that made me turn on the lights and play on until day time because sleeping alone in my room at the time isn't an option anymore.

It is accompanied by some scary sounds, yes, but it's not scary as long as you are winning. Isn't it more scary to be losing again and again while hearing some jolly music? Smiley But, to be fair, I would play such a slot too, because what I'm looking for, when playing slots, is strong emotions. After getting them you feel relaxed and you can do your main job better.

@Betwrong this is a sick slot game and I definitely see value in playing this, because we’re so used to playing those normal slots with those normal sounds so yea this is definitely worth playing. Also you’re right as people will be more than scared of losing than those scary sounds, and out of curiosity are you on the green or the red when playing on this particular slot game.

I think today all active freebitcoin users who have gold tickets are of course waiting for the announcement of the winner of Lambo Round 8, to be honest I didn't expect too much and imagined to be a winner, I believe that luck exists, so whoever wins I hope he is an active user on this forum is like the previous winner in Round 7 , to be honest not sure I won with one ticket but there is always hope no matter how small it is.

I'm still monitoring the freebitcoin site as well as this thread to see who's the winner, because this is the first time I've participated in this event by purchasing and owning 1 gold ticket from the free spins earnings there, which I've collected so far. if later I don't win in round 8 I will try again later in Round 9, I believe luck will come to people who never give up  Wink
Well it isn't going to be me as i have zero lambo tickets, but i sometimes wonder if there are many inactive accounts in FreeBitco that have won prizes, not on lambo draw but for example i had some referrals that occasionally give me tickets on lottery rounds. And since there was a one person who once won with one ticket they might have got it via referrals (as you get 2 tickets by rolling free btc). That person might log back in some day and find out that he/she is freaking rich as bitcoin keeps rising.
It's okay guys if you don't have lambo tickets. there is still the next round when you can collect it from free spins every hour, I also collect bitcoins from free spins every hour including WOF to buy gold tickets for this lambo event, so when I don't win I don't feel disappointed. because I know the chances are very small to win there but I'm curious to see who the lucky winner is in round 8.

When it comes to inactive users but they get tickets from referral users, as said by the FreeBitcoin team they will be contacted via email, well, hopefully the winners are active users on FreeBitcoin or people from this forum community. let's keep an eye on the winners in this thread for the Lambo prize in round 8 which will probably be announced soon

There are probably users like that but you always get a notification by mail if you win with the lottery. Freebitco.in is also one of the sites that doesn’t delete users even though they have been inactive for years.
Yes this is the advantage of freebitcoin they don't really delete inactive users on their site even their funds are still safe even though they haven't been active for a few years, I haven't been active in freebitcoin for a long time but after I came back I saw my funds from my referrals are still available there and even if i win the lottery they will contact me via email. its good than other sites mostly delete inactive users, i hope freebitcoin stays like that.

@piebeyb yea even I don’t access my account for quiet a while and whenever I login it always works as intended, and best part is my balance has never been deducted for inactivity so that’s an amazing feature of this site. Also with btc prices rising I feel that in this round we shall see more people buy tickets, hence I expect this round to be even more competitive then the last round.

omg united 2-2! and of course there had to be 2 own goals😂 I had bet on United and Juventus and was once again disappointed by United 😂

This one hurt a little extra hard. I bet on Junior FC - Boyaca Chico a Colombia match. It was 0-1 at half time so I bet on junior to win the match and another bet on over 2.5 goals, So they reduced to 1-1 in the 75 min. Then they got a penalty in 90+11 min BUT missed 😂

https://ibb.co/TvmvKGF
https://ibb.co/yg1W5d2

I hate when that happens😂

Any advice on matches today? 😁 Maybe Lyon to win?
Even though Manchester United wasn't the only club that crushed my bet, it was indeed very funny to see the victory that was right in front of my eyes had to go by. And 2 own goals that made them hurt more when they received a draw.
I don't want to make fun of Harry Maguire, but he has made his mistake again. I don't mean, when he is given the opportunity to play, he must always throw tantrums which in the end will be detrimental to his own team.
I don't know what Erik Ten Hag thinks, will he regret bringing on Hrry Maguire or not.  Grin

@Jody.Drummer that draw is unacceptable and I hope that Ten Hag blasts Manchester United player’s for this, because now Sevilla will have the advantage when they’ll meet again and I fear Manchester United will be dumped out of this competition. Also coming back to premier league anyone wagering on City, because I feel that City should easily beat Leicester and build more pressure on Arsenal.

Milan with a lot of confidence after beating Napoli even though they also drew from Empoli in their other match. On the other hand, Bologna is also quite interesting now, especially with the previous success against Udinese and Atalanta.
Milan is definitely the favorite in this clash. even so I think Bologna can still make some real surprises and it could be a draw and even a win for Bologna in this game.

If you look at the H2H statistics, AC Milan should be able to beat Bologna even if only with a score of 1-0. But, again, AC Milan often makes blunders when they meet mid-table teams. Losing against Udinese was one of them. On the contrary, Bologna was able to beat Udinese with a score of 3 - 0. Of course this could be the reason that Pioli need to keep Milan players in good performance in 90 minutes to be able to win the match and maintain the chance of qualifying for the UCL.
Milan on the top perform after winning last two games from Napoli in domestic league and Champion League, have confidence performance after winning important match in Champion League I sure will continue winning trend against Bologna. Current standing in domestic league, Milan can't loss points again if want stay in top fourth standing position because have fewest points left from Inter and Atalanta.

Bologna have quit well performance last two games after winning against Udinese and Atalanta, despite Milan lead with head to head is not guarantee easy for three points achievement from Bologna have chance for finish on top standing position because current points right now only have 1 point difference from Juventus on 7th position.
AC Milan are currently getting the good results in their matches. After beating Napoli in the league and defeating them again in the UEFA Champions League first leg, bookmakers reduced their odds to beat Bologna this weekend and that's understandable judging by their form at the moment. Bologna who are currently 8th in the league standings I think will be happy with their current position because the other 7 clubs that are occupying the higher positions has better quality players that they do. It's a match Milan would want to win to maintain their pursuit of finishing in the top four of the Seria A campaign. So I'll be going for a Milan win or at worse a draw

@Docnaster I feel that it could be a draw or a loss for Milan, because they’ll prioritise their champions league fixture and thus probably rest their key player’s. Furthermore if they continue their winning streak then Napoli will have a very tough task on their hand when meet in the midweek, but for tomorrow’s fixture I personally don’t think it makes sense to wager on them.

After yesterday's defeat, fortunately Bayern will only face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga match tomorrow, it's not too difficult and doesn't take a lot of energy. So coach Thomas Tuchel can prepare the conditions for Bayern players to be able to play optimally in the 2nd match of the UCL quarter-finals.
Tuchel must be able to convince his players to lock Erling Haaland's movements, because he is Manchester City's goal machine.
It's a shame that the defeat in the Champions League gave some bad news to Bayern Munich, Sadio Mane was involved in an argument that finally hit L. Sane and the club punished him by not including him in the squad against Hoffenheim and also fined the player. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1646511583055724551

However, playing at the Allianz Arena and only facing Hoffenheim should not bother them to be able to get 3 points because Munich's position is not secure in the standings, and their meetings are always dominated by wins by Bayern Munich, if they don't want to look even worse, victory is the only way - the only thing is if it can be done by scoring a lot so that it can re-convince the fans that Bayern Munich is still on the right track.

@Strongkored as I had told earlier Bayern would lose, because Tuchel barely had anytime to prepare his side to face a giant like City. Furthermore this saga of Mane and Sane is an unnecessary distraction for Bayern, and I won’t be surprised if they end up losing on the weekend and against City too which will hurt them in the Bundesliga League and confirm their exit from the champions league.

The luck factor also becomes influential, so they can't score at least 1 goal in this match. But this result is good for them because their rivals can't win, so their points are still wide, even if it's only 1 point. Talking about the results of the match, indeed, not many could have predicted this result because on paper Barcelona had all the advantages that should have allowed them to win an absolute victory. But this is football, the outcome of the match cannot be predicted in advance.
Correct. even a surprising result in football is considered normal. and you are right that a draw is still much better because at least Barcelona still get 1 point from that match. And Barcelona also has the opportunity to continue to get full points in the next match, namely against Getafe. and it shouldn't be difficult to beat Getafe for Barcelona. because Getafe in this season we really can't expect. Even Getafe are very close to the relegation zone at the moment. they only have 3 points difference with the club which is in the relegation zone.

I know it doesn’t look as bad as it should have. Barcelona really should have got three points from this match. But just by judging the situation, this thing looks ok right now because Barcelona is ahead by a lot of points. But still, I would say Barcelona should be able to get three points from these types of matches, which are actually easy on paper.

Of course, there will be a chance for Barcelona to get three points in the next match. All I want to say is, just because Barcelona are almost certainly going to win the title, doesn’t mean they have to take things easy.

@Minecache I have seen this before too that whenever a team has a huge lead they tend to become complacent, but I hope that Barcelona player’s wake up soon and do not end up squandering the lead. Also Getafe would be more keen to win those 3 points, because it’ll ensure that they do not end up close to the relegation zone hence I expect them to put up a strong fight against Barcelona.

I think if West Ham take tonight with at least 2 goal margin, they will be the firm favourite to win this cup, no matter the results elsewhere. As said before, I think Basel are solid, Nice too, even if they're a shadow of themselves 2 seasons ago, Fiorentina... It's almost fitting they're all here tonight, midtable mediocrity in leagues, and it doesn't match up to Hammers closer to relegation than to halfway point, but I'm taking into account the EPL is a pretty tough league.

Hammers, Nice, Fiorentina acca?

@buwaytress winning this cup is Moyes last hope of securing his job, and if West Ham were to lose then he’ll probably end up losing his job. However I feel that West Ham have what it takes to win tonight, and probably go on to win the tournament but if their player’s don’t step up then they could probably suffer an heavy defeat too so I’m hoping that West Ham player’s put on a grand show tonight and save their managers job.

In fact, I really don't think any other country can host the FIFA World Cup with as much money as Qatar. I think Qatar World Cup will be remembered forever in the history pages. But it can be hoped that we will see something new in the next World Cup.
My hope is also like that where there will be other countries that can be like Qatar at the next world cup to make the world cup very luxurious and spectacular because in the history of the world cup Qatar is the only country capable of being the best host in the history of the world cup.
Even though there are several countries that have big budgets for football, it is not certain that they will be generous and are willing to spend large amounts of money to prepare for the world cup as Qatar has done.

I'm sure the name Qatar will always be remembered as the best host in the history of the world cup.
Yes, they succeeded in making the World Cup held in Qatar leave a good impression. They are very serious about being a good home year, after they were appointed as the country to be the host. The preparations they did were not playing games and they even spent very, very fantastic costs from the start of preparation until the World Cup ended. Indeed, there were some pros and cons regarding the policy there, but I saw that it was a very natural thing when the biggest football party in the world was held. In the end they managed to become a successful host of the World Cup yesterday.
Qatar's success as the host is because they want to prove to the world that Qatar can make the world cup a very spectacular football event.
Even though the team from Qatar could not survive any further when participating in the world cup event, with the historical record of the world cup Qatar as the best host could eliminate a little disappointment from the failure of their football team and still be able to have a sense of pride that is remembered by the world.

The next world cup will be held in 2026 and it is still a long way off so it is hoped that the country hosting the upcoming world cup can prepare it so that it can provide satisfactory facilities to the teams that will compete later.

@Hirose while the Qatar World Cup was definitely big, but I am not happy about the labor situation as those labour’s deserved to be paid more because it was their efforts which made the Qatar World Cup a success. Also I believe that the next World Cup will be bigger then the current one, because they won’t like to be under the shadow of Qatar hence I expect them to overspend to make it bigger than the Qatar one.

England is often the favorite team but often fails to achieve high achievements, especially in the European Cup after decades ago its best performance was ranked 3rd, only after that it made it to the final only to lose again, so even in the European Cup this time there will still be doubts about them being able to reach final because other teams look more solid when playing in an international tournament which England often doesn't have, and France will be the most favorite and also host team Germany which doesn't look good at the World Cup.

Right now, there is a large gap between France and other UEFA teams. And I would say that in case all of their players are fit, then France will lift the trophy without any effort in 2024. England comes close, but they have issues with consistency. Italy and Spain do have some promising younger players, but they are not performing well at international level. I don't want to talk too much about the dying teams such as Germany, Danmark and Netherlands. They are going down the drain, and I don't think that they will stay relevant to international football in the long term.

@Sithara007 France definitely have one of the best squad, but I won’t say that they’ll lift the trophy without much effort because they’ll need their star player’s to be injury free and only then will they have any chance of winning this tournament.

Also if Kane moves to Manchester United then he and Rashford could develop a strong bond, and this could be used by Southgate to help England win this tournament thus you see it’s too soon to pick a winner as there’re multiple scenarios which can play out leading to the start of this tournament.

PSG host Lens and the result of this match is very important for both teams. There is a six-point gap between the two teams and it will either increase or decrease with this match. It is a match that will perhaps decide the fate of the league. For this reason, I think all teams will focus on this match. The result of this match will also be important for Marseille and Monaco. They are the teams competing for 2nd place.

I won't be surprised at all if I see PSG lose this game against Lens both teams are on top of the table and Lens should itself in this game by winning this important match against PSG and if they somehow beat PSG the gap between these two teams can be decreased to three points which can put PSG in danger.

@Leviathan.007 I believe that this will be an entertaining clash as both the team’s would like to make a statement by winning this fixture, and despite PSG super stars squad I too believe that they can be beaten. Also if PSG lose this game then I don’t expect their board to wait till the summer transfer window to fire their current head coach, but if PSG wins this game then PSG head coach job will definitely be secured at least for a while.

Now it is said that Ronaldo has issues with his coach at Al-Nassr... Guys what is wrong with Ronaldo? I can't of course verify whether the news are true, but if there is any substance to those news, I really wonder what your opinions are? Ronaldo can't go anywhere and believe he is the boss out of a sudden. On what grounds does he put his arguments? Why doesn't he become Portugal's president? I mean he scored the most goals for Portugal.

Again, I don't know if it is true, but if it is, Ronaldo is degrading himself into a ridiculous person. He has to accept as everyone of us that there are encounters in life you like, and some that you don't like. But you can't just with brutal force change the circumstances every single time.

@shogun47 I personally believe that there’re two key reasons for this, and the first reason is that Ronaldo is genuinely unhappy with how the coach was managing the team and he decided that getting rid of him was the best solution for the team.

Further the second reason could be is that Ronaldo is trying to play the villain, and force the club to either sell him or release him just in time for the summer transfer window and at this stage we can only speculate which reason really made him get rid of the coach.

Between these two teams, Mumbai Indians won the match due to their very good performance. Mumbai Indians team batsman Rohit Sharma scored 65 runs off 45 balls. He performed well in batting. Ishan Kishan did not score much runs. He scored 31 runs off 26 balls. Mumbai Indians viz.  He played well in batting as well as bowling. I saw a tough fight between the two teams in this match.

@rojan I thought that MI would lose because Rohit wasn’t in form, but it seems that Rohit decided to comeback in form at the perfect time because losing this match would have definitely hurt their morale hard. Furthermore DC really need to hold an emergency meeting, and discuss why they’re failing to win matches before it’s too late for them to qualify for the semis.

Agreed about this all with most chances things could be more difficult for few countries in near future because ICC is not interested to bring any solid strategy for having better results in this format which is surely big concern even I still believe if they are able to have things with 2 tier system this could be brought better result because now they have two years WTC which can adjust good number of matches for all teams, but they need to work on for all 12 test playing countries not only for the big-4.

Like they can allow 3 or 4 test matches series for all top six and 2 test matches series for lower ranks, but we must have 8 to 12 test matches for all countries this will bring good change and better quality as well here tier 2 teams will play more with each and with tier 1 they need to be also have some which will also bring balance for all countries.

The tiered system is what test cricket needs badly. But due to pressure from lower ranking test nations, the board has never been able to implement these suggestions. And I don't believe that playing 8-12 test matches per year is viable, with the influx of franchise T20 leagues. Key players are not available for selection and hosting test matches can be a very tedious affair with lots of expenses. And the return is very low, compared to limited overs cricket. And more importantly, nowadays we don't have a lot of players who are capable of playing test cricket.

@Sithara007 the only way to revive test matches is to play them all in day and night format, and secondly play them when it’s not a rainy season as many fan’s get upset to see test matches scheduled during rainy season.

Also @fullhixel is right arranging so many test matches won’t be possible as the ICC calendar is already full, and even test specialists like Pujara or Rahane are failing in this format which shows that player’s no longer prepare well for Test matches.

But couldn't that turn out to be Sevilla's biggest advantage? The fact that really nobody believes in them? They have nothing to lose as nobody thinks they have nothing to win. This can be the perfect position for them. There is extra motivation to show the world they have all been wrong. This sounds like some war cry or unfounded motivational speech, but ultimately it does give players extra motivation.
Sevilla don't need anybody to believe in them. They only need to believe in themselves and get supports from their loyal fans. It's enough for them to fight and win over Manchester United and take a seventh Europa League trophy for their club. That would be amazing but even with six titles so far, they are already a legend in Europa League.

Ten Haag doesn't make the impression as if he were to underestimate Sevilla, but how certain situations can enfold could be seen against Liverpool. Those are the stories that soccer can write. This one would be another one for the books as Manchester United can't win anything, they can just make it to the next round, but if they lose, they lost it all. That is how the press will put it and Sevilla knows that keeping a clean sheet for a while will put more and more pressure onto Manchester United players.
Latest form fluctuation in Manchester United after they lost their excellent streak is good for them. Because they will not be over confident about themselves and will have more focus on matches with Sevilla. That can help them to have better preparation as well as more carefully play against Sevilla. I am sure that with Sevilla, if you under estimate them and play carelessly, they are strong enough to punish you and send you back to your home.

Well it could be, but it might bolster confidence for Sevilla if they know that not everything is working out perfectly for Manchester United at the moment.

Either way I believe that this game is going to be more exciting than many do expect. I doubt it is going to end with a dominant show from Manchester United. Will they win their home game? Probably yes, but Sevilla will preserve their chances for the second leg. Finally it is European soccer again this week. It was about time. Now we get to see what we are waiting for the whole season! Wink

@shogun47 no one can underestimate Sevilla because of their love for winning this league, but with Eriksen and Casemiro back I feel that Manchester United will be able to beat them and progress ahead. Also Manchester United have learnt their lesson that they’re not invincible, hence I’m sure that Ten Hag will come prepared for this fixture and hopefully win it too.

DC VS MI

DC has lost all 3 games they have played till now and MI has lost 2. Both teams are struggling this season and I think DC would have an upper edge in today's game. The match is being played in Delhi and looking at the form of MI star batters I think DC might win its first game. Rohit Sharma needs to find his form first and replace a few players who have been struggling to bat especially SKY.
David Warner has been playing well, but his strike rate is not at par with the T20 format. DC should also find a replacement for Prithvi Shaw as in the last three matches he has no clue what he is going to do with his bat.

Even though Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians have strong squads, they are yet to win a single match. Mumbai has lost both of their matches and Delhi has lost three matches. And so today's match is very important for both teams. The performance of the batsmen of both teams is very poor now.
Mumbai has several Indian star players in its squad. But their main player Rohit Sharma is not in good form. If Rohit Sharma can play well today then Mumbai can collect big.
On the other hand, Delhi's batting order is very strong but the players are not in good form. Warner can score big, but his strike rate is very low. Due to this Delhi team is failing to collect big. I am looking forward to seeing Warner's performance in today's match.

@Swordsoffredom I’m not really surprised to see these two team’s struggle, because Delhi lost Pant and MI star batsmen like Rohit has been in poor form so unless Rohit leads the way today I believe that MI will suffer and lose. Lastly the reason I’m favouring Delhi to win is because they have the home advantage, and I do expect MI to give them a tough time but my gut feeling is saying that DC will yet win today’s match.
