Competition two eternal rivals again have the same points. I think it's very interesting and very competitive. Moreover, the points of these two teams can last a long time until their second meeting in the El Clasico match. But in my opinion, Real Madrid is more ready to win the title again at the end of the season. Even though the rest of the season is still long, I am very confident that Los Blancos will be able to outperform the Blaugrana. Yes, of course I really hope that the difference in points will occur in the El Clasico match. For whatever reason you think Real Madrid have a better chance of winning the title, you need to consider Xavi's success this season which has lifted Barcelona to the top of the table. Of course Barcelona are not superior to the quality of Real Madrid's players, but they can surprise at the end of the season. I don't underestimate Barcelona under any circumstances, it's normal to drop points in one or two match. I would also route for Real Madrid to be title winners but looking that Xavi is off the Champions League and doesn't have pretty chances in the English Premier League, it seems that it is only the Laliga that is his major target. He could surprise everyone of us in order to prove his abilities. |

Juventus according to the media is interested in Mac Allister.
I don't think it is real news, Juventus has at the moment a lot of players in the midfield.
It should only be clickbait news, not reliable at all.
McAlister would be a great addition to the line up of juventus. Juvetnus needs midfield players for their team. Without those players they are currently nothing. Midfield is a need for juventus for their attacking power. They cannot create so many chances and this would be a great addition for them. If I were to be Mac Allister, I will not sign for Juventus even after a very brilliant outing . I will rather sign for a club doing well which I know will be in the Champions League by next season. The management of Juventus seems rather confused to make some managerial decisions. |

Some Newcastle players are disappointed in themselves for missing big chances in the game against Leeds
A lot of side talks says they will begin dropping points but I say no
Man City didn't give the win we expected, Lampard side has conceded some lesser goals this season
Newcastle will not finish in the top 4, their squad depth is very low. There are over 20 games still to to, I am convinced they will finish outside of the CL places. Their next game is Arsenal away, if they lose that then all of a sudden they will be sweating, looking over their shoulder. I don't know why I chose to see from a different mirror rather than the one you use. I see Newcastle in the top 4 till the season is over. Newcastle don't need that type of squad depth you are anticipating. How many competitions are they playing? Only Epl, so squad depth doesn't have much effect on them. |

For the Champions League, it's both teams scoring, Real Madrid haven't been a good defending side though, and Liverpool ? LOL still not in a good form to withstand the informed Karim Benzema who's back from Injury.
This is Champions League, and Clubs play Champions League with a kind of different spirit or energy from what they do in their normal league because it's a bigger compition, So don't see Liverpool poor performance as deterant to not give Real Madrid tough time in that game, Remember that in football most times whenever a team sees his rival they usually wakes up from slumber and that could play out in their game. Liverpool is a good club but it is always difficult for them to score goals in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. The last time when they had Mane together with salah I expected them to score good goals but they could not. I don't therefore trust Liverpool to score against Real Madrid (not impossible). But I see BTS in PSG vs Bayern |

Napoli is a good team. They always try to do fairly well. I agree with you, maybe the coach of Napoli team is trying to make some changes in the formation of the team, the main reason may be to bring better performance of the team.
Apart from trying to improve to a better performance, the Napoli team is also trying to maintain the best performance they have shown during the first half of this season, but other teams in Serie A are also doing almost the same thing because they are still very motivated to chase points. Napoli and to be in the top four positions in the standings. So there is a possibility that matches in Serie A will be even more exciting in January. If there is any team that I believe very well and that will continue to do well is Napoli. They have young good players who are dedicated to win every match especially the young striker Victor Osimhen. The team is dedicated and I expect them to remain at the top 4 till the end of the season and even be the contenders on a serious note. |

And yet again Arsenal has shown the have class and character, even betting sites gave them high odds to beat brentford todays. Brentford has been in great form has has been dropping the big teams they face.
Arteta men outplayed brentford today although I think the match was very boring and Arsenal played like a typical big team that considered the win more important than the style of play congratulations to them.
Arsenal winning today was not a big surprise to me because I have already known and concluded that Arsenal will likely be the champions of this year English Premier League. I also know that Newcastle will remain in the top four and I know that Manchester City is not invincible. It is three points clear ahead of Manchester City the battle is becoming clearer that Arsenal can win |

We have a game that may change somewhat although I don't believe at all that something will change in this league,but the game of Lens vs Paris if Lens wins,it can give us a false hope that maybe the Ligue 1 is still open and that Paris is not dominating as long as they have done in the previous seasons.I would love for Lens to win but seeing that they play more in a defensive way,they have conceded the less goals compared to most teams of the Ligue 1 makes me think that they will have difficulty winning against Paris at this direct clash.
I don't think there is any changes will happen in the legue 1. The only mistake that I am expecting is for PSG to draw with Lens or any other small club but I don't expect them to lose. Just like what happened to Manchester City, they drew thus weekend. This will be the worse situation of PSG and not lose. |

PSG will play with their closest follower in the French Ligue 1. Definitely this match will be an opportunity to prove something for Lens. Also, Lens will be the host in this match. I think this is an important advantage. However, PSG are way above this league. So PSG will be absolute favorite against Lens because their squad quality is really well above this league. Therefore, I think they will win this match as well and increase the point difference between Lens and them to 10. On the other hand, there is an interesting statistic. PSG has no losses in the French Ligue 1 this season. I think they will maintain this title in this match as well. No doubt, PSG is the stronger side, and already they are now a bit far from Lens but their last match victory against Strasbourg , came with a little difficulty. Strasbourg is a weaker side compared to Lens, but if Strasbourg could be a problem to PSG , I will have a little doubt as to PSG winning the match against Lens. A win in This match is a big advantage for both PSG and lens, and as such I will not underrate Lens. Moreover, the absence of Neyma and Messi will make the match less difficult for Lens. |

This is the reality happening with majority of the gamblers. One out of 100 get to be lucky to recover what he/she have lost out of gambling. As said going behind the losses to make a recovery is the start towards the blowup of funds. For users who weren't able to keep them under control can atleast try to take a break. This will help the gambler realise and do the right thing than chasing the losses.
The purpose of gambling is not to recover losses and not to make profits, both of which are not the main goal of gambling and they must avoid it so they don't get addicted to gambling. The factor of expecting loss recovery will lead to higher losses, you have to use the money you can afford to lose and enjoy it only for entertainment. Not many people see gambling as entertainment. They see gambling as a means to earn a living and make some profits. Even those that see gambling as an entertainment, they will also feel bad when they lose. No matter the purpose of gambling, no one is happy to lose money in any form or any means. |

. Ajax vs Berlin gonna be a very interesting match too. I would believe if there will be many surprises to come in february along with ucl.
Ajax and Union have not seen each other for a long time. and the meeting of the two of course will be interesting. team gatherings of equal strength, of course, will always attract attention. it is difficult to predict because Ajax also experiences ups and downs in its performance. Likewise, Union was once very strong at the top of the table, and eventually, they lost their consistency. maybe it will be difficult to predict this match, but I will bet on Ajax. It's actually difficult to predict who is going to be the winner in the match between Ajax and Union Berlin. But I will bet on union Berlin to win the match because of their past result so far this season. They have a winning record against strong sides like Braga, Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich, Leipzig, Hoffenheim, Borussia Dortmund, and many other stronger sides in Europe. But Ajax on the other hand does not have much winning record in strong matches this year. Perhaps they would be a difference this time. |

Maybe Dortmund aren't in a very favourable condition in the league now. But even if they were at the second position in the standings they wouldn't still have been able to compete with Bayern Munich at the same level. We all know about their priorities rather than a Bundesliga championship. We have already talked about this many times here I guess. As long as the board doesn't completely change I won't be expecting any big change in Dortmund's business model. They will just continue to prioritize making a lot of profit in selling young players.
Bellingham is about to be another candidate for that by next summer you know. He will be a Real Madrid player most probably.
Dortmund was a good team but currently their performance is going bad. After Halland's departure, they could not add any player to fill Halland's place in their team. In view of which, Dortmund have some problems in attack. Dortmund is a business inclined team, they dwell more on business than on trophies. Halland's departure was a highly lucrative gain for them. They are always lucky to get a good player at an early age but they always find it so difficult to keep them when they start making names. Now they currently don't have any other vibrant midfielder but they are already at the edge of selling out Jude Bellingham, and this will cause more arm to the team. |

Chelsea is currently underperforming. So Many struggles before they could secure a single win. Many are hoping Chelsea will be better if the newly signed players arrive as expected in January, but I'm afraid it may not happen. Sometimes a team just needs to understand its real problem before looking for a solution. Test/diagnosis comes before treatment.
Tuchel didn't come to Chelsea with tactics, the Nature of the team and the match he was to face determined his tactics, but Graham Porter wants to apply his old Brighton pattern, and this will continue to be a problem for Chelsea even if he is given the whole players in Europe. I feel Porter isn't the right manager for Chelsea.

Judging from the quality of the domestic leagues of the two teams, not underestimating my Bundesliga then I totally agree that Chelsea is probably better prepared than Borussia Dortmund. Yes, sometimes we cannot deny that the competitive differences of a league will affect teams participating in bigger competitions like the Champions League like this. Paris Saint Germain is the picture I will give when talking about this, what is Paris Saint Germain lacking? they have everything, even they are inhabited by star players, but in the Champions League they can't do more to compete with other teams.
The problems for Dortmund are now more visible. Currently, apart from Nkunku, Chelsea have now brought in Enzo from Benfica at a pretty fantastic price, so I think Chelsea will really overhaul their squad, especially for the attack line. This is a real problem if Dortmund still uses the current squad, especially since the chances for Moukoko and Jude to leave are still very large. Dortmund need to add to their striking power in attack to make this interesting later. There is nothing wrong with Chelsea's squad presently if u ask me. As long as I know that the team lampard couldn't excel with, was later called the club world cup champions, and the UEFA champion league champions, I will continue saying that there is nothing wrong with Chelsea squad . If u check very well, there is no big difference between the 2021 champion league winner team and the present Poter team. The only noticeable difference is the management. Poter style of play is chelsea's only problem. He lacks tactics. |

They are so much underrated players in Europe football who's names are not heard but are silently doing an amazing job. Jose fonte is one among these players. It would have been a bit difficult for Lille this season if not for Fonte. With the look of things, I think lille may succeed in having a position in the France league 1 top 4 table, cus I know vividly that Rennes and Monaco may fizzle out of the top four table before the end of this season.

Bayern Munich is playing really great football. They have some great players in their team who are playing a huge role in the team. However, the team has a little problem with Bayern Munich's goalkeeper. Hope the coach of the team will solve this problem very well.
As usual, in Bundesliga, Bayern always becomes the best and hold the title. It seems that they don't have any other competitive clubs that can balance Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. Moreover Dortmund, they are falling currently. so if you want to see if Bayern is exactly a very good club with a strong squad, watch them in UCL. Even though Bayern Munich have lost their main goalkeeper who has been on the crossbar for many years, I believe it is not a big problem for them in this Bundesliga. As you said, Bayern Munich has no competitors that will make them have to work twice as hard for the title. Borussia Dortmund, which has been their main competitor, is now in an unfavorable situation for Borussia Dortmund. Let's watch out for Bayern Munich's next match first, because I know Neuer's absence will be intensely felt by the team in their subsequent matches. Until then, I wouldn't say that the absence of a team's best goalkeeper is or will not be a problem for that club. No doubt, Dortmund is currently in an unfavorable condition, but other clubs have performed extremely well in the German Bundesliga this year, and they may likely be a problem to Bayern Munich. One must not be too sure of a meal until he has eaten it; Bayern has to work hard to annul the effect of Neuer's absence. |

I don't see United nowhere near the finals of Europa League this season and I also don't see them reaching semi-finals either. Why ? Well this team looks nothing like United and they are having a lot of internal problems in the club that are not surfacing around media and fans know this well. It would be a massive surprise if somehow United will win UEL and in my honest opinion , there are plenty other teams who are having better chances than them ...per example : Juventus.
But that doesn't stop them from playing in the final or semifinal, right? Everyone will notice that they are not the Manchester United we know then, but now they are heading for a change for the better. Erik Ten Hag carried out a difficult process because he had to build Manchester United from adversity first. He also couldn't immediately implement what he wanted because he had just joined Manchester United. They have the same opportunity as Barcelona. I agree that everyone has the same proximity to the Europa league title. But they are certain things that promote the proximity of one team over that of the other team. Manchester United for instance are currently facing internal drama as stated by maju69, and this challenge is currently giving Ten hag a tough time on how to choose his standard first Eleven team. All may affect Manchester united performance in the subsequent European league and the England EPL matches. Secondly, Eric Hag is yet to find a befitting Tactic for the current squad he is using. The ones he managed to win are all trial patterns, not team-owned tactics. I pray before then he has tactics that will be best to play against Barcelona. |

Real Madrid may not be able to field Benzema yet, but without Benzema in the squad will not make Real Madrid's performance weak.
I saw in the Real Madrid squad lineup in today's match, Karim Benzema was introduced as the main player. But the lineup hasn't been closed yet, there is still 5 minutes left before the match for a lineup change. We look back a bit on the world cup related to Karim Benzema. During the world cup, Karim Benzema was on full leave with a statement that he was injured, but if he arrives at Real Madrid he can play, of course the question is what's wrong with the French squad. Real Madrid does have many strikers who can replace Karim Benzema against Real Valladolid. But Karim Benzema can be key in every match. With the presence of Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde can move freely on the right side. Modric and Tchouameni were rested for this game, Kroos was placed in the middle and flanked by Cebalos who stepped up to the position of attacking midfielder with Valverde. I also like seeing Asesncio there because it's a good thing for him not to leave given the chance to play. I think it's still good enough for Madrid now even though some players have been tried for new positions and some have been rested but this is still a pretty good thing. It's actually good to try a player in a new position and also, to rest some players isn't a bad idea. But I think this act of resting players and also trying players in a different win requires timing. Here the question is; why are you resting this player? and, is it important to try players in a different positions in this very match? They are matches u do this, and it turns out to become a big mistake thereby causing you to lose the match. I don't think this is the right time for Ancelotti to be doing such, especially now that he needs consistent winning to overthrow Barcelona. |

West ham team are in a difficult position and they absolutely need to win today against brentford in a few hours they currently are one point and two spots away from the relegation zone, they have good players and in my opinion it is weird to see them in this spot especially after last season performance, tody game is against a tough opponent who is in a much better situation i doubt brentford team will be the one to attack which will make it harder for west ham to score i expect a low number of goals in this game i think its either a small win for west ham or a draw.
Brentford has broken the camel's back, it is already 0-1 more difficult position for West Ham because they haven't gotten a single shot on target. Brentford are more accurate with the shots, and it will mean closer to the relegation zone for West Ham. Leicester on the other hand are having upper hand as they led Liverpool with a single goal. I am certain about Liverpool coming back but West Ham has lost theirs already. Lol. The time is still young enough for Westham to make wonders. Remember it has always happened like this before. I could recall just recently, what happened between Tottenham and Brentford, though I wouldn't trust Westham enough as Tottenham in terms of coming back, but as long as football is consent, I don't think it will be that easy for Brentford to Obtain this three-point today, especially for the fact that Westham didn't have a good result in their last two matches. |

Chelsea has better chance of winning Dortmund, no matter that Chelsea has been messing up before the world cup break doesn't mean you should underestimate them. When it comes to Champions league,they take their matches serious because there is a target which is the cup.
EPL is different from the UCL, EPL is one of the most toughest league that a player needs strength and stamina to survive, Dortmund is a different club which don't play the English style of football. UCL is more bigger than EPL and clubs performance in their various league should not be used to judge the UCL games
Judging from the quality of the domestic leagues of the two teams, not underestimating my Bundesliga then I totally agree that Chelsea is probably better prepared than Borussia Dortmund. Yes, sometimes we cannot deny that the competitive differences of a league will affect teams participating in bigger competitions like the Champions League like this. Paris Saint Germain is the picture I will give when talking about this, what is Paris Saint Germain lacking? they have everything, even they are inhabited by star players, but in the Champions League, they can't do more to compete with other teams. EPL is the toughest of all the Europe leagues. That's why you see clubs in the EPL table who are already close to the relegation zone end up winning clubs in the top four tables of other leagues like Italy, Germany and France. If u browse the result of the Europa matches played by England clubs like westham, Bournemouth, Brentford, Aston villa and many other England clubs who haven't crossed the EPL top-4 table for the past 7 years, you will understand that EPL is very tough. For that, one wouldn't underrate any England team in any Europe competition. |

I've said that PSG are more likely to have problems when the opponent is very focused on defense. Strasbourg with a successful defensive strategy made it difficult for PSG throughout the match even though they were actually left behind by Marquinhos' goal in the 14th minute. Strasbourgh managed to equalize the score 1-1 in the second half, but in the end PSG really got lucky in the 6th minute of injury time.
So it is clear that PSG cannot fully win every match easily even though on paper their quality is much better. I hope Messi will be back in the team soon in January, it will make PSG stronger. But maybe Messi will not play when PSG visit Lens in the next 3 days.
I have completely opposite thoughts about this game. Even with a sub-optimal line-up and sub-optimal shape (all players are in different shape and mood after the World Cup) and with Neymar getting a red card, PSG still managed to win. This suggests that PSG's advantage over all other Ligue 1 clubs is too great and they can fully concentrate on the Champions League. Speaking of strong sides in The French league, Lens is one of the top-performing sides that have shown a shocking performance so far this season. Through out the first half of the season, seeing lens Being above Lille, Monaco and Marseille in the table ,is the fact I can't imagine till date. In performance, Lens is far above Strasburg who seems to have given PSG a hard play moment in their last match. I wouldn't be surprised if the match between lens and PSG on 1st January end in a draw, because as it stands now, PSG seems weak without Lionel Messi, now coupled with Neyma's suspension, it will be more difficult for them. |
