In this match Liverpool were incredibly good and Chelsea just fell apart in the first half, it was obvious that no one expected that Liverpool will play so aggressively and almost no chance for Chelsea in attack. I don't remember Chelsea having any scoring chances in the first half, but the fact that they managed to pull themselves together and get one goal back in the second half gives me cautious optimism, but overall Chelsea really don't play well against top teams.
If at the end of the season Chelsea will take 7th place it will not be so bad, the competition in the EPL this season is huge - Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City are contenders for the championship, and next to Tottenham and Newcastle, so the 7th place is even can be considered as a good luck while the management gives Pocchetino to work in peace and it is right, because the second season as last year Chelsea may not survive.
Surviving is the real deal, Chelsea gave to fight with everything to ensure they grabbed the big winnings, they need the major positions. Jurgen Klopp grabbed another victory at Anfield, one of the big wins for them this season. Scoring huge goals against an elite team seems embarrassing, Mauricio Pochettino must work on his team if he still consider be in the position of headcoach of the club. It was obvious, Chelsea was not fully prepared to face Liverpool this season, the evidence was there, and most gamblers cashout in gigantic figures. |

Next week will be difficult for Brest because they will play against Nice. Nice is a team that puts up a great fight. It will be a very difficult match for Brest. Maybe they will draw, so both teams will leave the field with equal points, I don't know. They won a draw against PSG in the last match. Maybe they can make a surprise against Nice, who knows? It is certain that there will be exciting matches.
Next week, they have tough fixture and it's against Nice, they will face it. No need for the team to start complaining because the best team will always go home with three points. A team that qualify for top four is not even consider to be an average team because the best team always comes out with good points and eligible positions. The matches are important for Brest because they're trying all means to ensure they pick competitive winning form this season, though they're recording slightly poor results. Brest couldn't failed to equalized points with PSG in their previous match. |

A few days ago, Aston Villa had a great chance of occupying the top spot in the points table. But at the moment it is challenging for Aston Villa to stay in the top four of the table. And I don't think we'll see Aston Villa in the top four of the table at the end of the season.
Aston Villa have won just one of their last 5 matches. Their performance has declined badly. Aston Villa players could not perform well against Newcastle in the home match. Villa lost the match 3-1. If Villa's defenders had played well, Villa would not have lost the match 3-1. However, the performance of Newcastle's players was very composed in this match. They managed to take a 2-0 lead in the first half. So they played pressure free in the second half.
Making the top five doesn't seem pretty because there's a whole lot to learn about the current condition of the English Premier League. We have witnessed and watch the top clubs that are having competitive race for the title. Unai Emery appointed as headcoach for Aston Villa and he's pretty amazing to be triggering good results for the club. Aston Villa have decline in performance in their previous matches. This is not the team I believed they will be currently, the fans have high hopes on achieving the necessary points required but the big question pops up, can they be eligible to qualify for essential positions this season? |

At least, De Rossi's first three matches for AS Roma still gave good results and that way, it will at least increase the morale of the AS Roma squad going forward. But indeed, after three easy matches at the beginning, and AS Roma with De Rossi will soon be faced with difficult opponents because yes, that Inter have a good trend too during the last few seasons. What's more, this season Inter still have good dominance in Serie A and thus, Inter are also still at the top of the Serie A standings until now. Of course, these factors will make it difficult for AS Roma to get points against Inter later.
AS Roma would have been among the top clubs that will qualify for the top four this season but they failed to meet the good scores, and now they will be fighting really hard to accumulate more points than expected. The early games are mere opponents that are not challenging, the real deal will come up, I'm hoping Daniele De Rossi is able to survive through the difficult tests coming up. What do we all expects from the new coach if not good results in matches and the positive growth of the team. Daniele De Rossi is the perfect guy to replace José Mourinho without having to struggle in the team. |

Tonight game will be a tough game that will make many people to lost their bet because Chelsea will do something they have never done before since the beginning of this tournament and, this is the second leg and Chelsea will not allow what happened in the first leg to happen in this second leg.
Liverpool will still miss this trophy again this season because this game will prove to people that they are not capable yet to win the trophy and Arsenal will use this opportunity to return back to the first position if Liverpool loose to Chelsea.
Missing out of the league title, we know the teams that are responsible for this actions, all fingers pointing to Arsenal because they appeared to be competent but they don't possess good winning odds. Chelsea looking forward to enter crucial position this season. Tonight is the night we all have been patiently waiting for. We witnessed a situation where the best team wins, the winning points can go to any of these teams. The first leg ended in a draw tie at Stamford Bridge but this second leg comes with different odds because Liverpool becomes the hosts and will be hosting the Blues at Anfield this time around. |

Aston Villa is in a difficult situation. They are only 3 points ahead of Tottenham and their chances of getting Champions League tickets could disappear. This is really bad because previously they performed really great and could even get first place. Everyone thought Aston Villa would get second place at the end of the season. But looking at their current form I think they will have difficulty being in the top four if they can't improve their game.
Aston Villa slowly reducing their odds of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season, bad news for the team and the supporters who kept all hope alive for making it to the top four, they lose points against average team, what will happen to elite ones when they meet. Unai Emery revived the team and now he's keen on throwing it all away for? Inconsistency in EPL matches have resulted in the witnessed of poor results. I've watch closely the pattern of the team, they've grown to become vulnerable these past weeks, giving their opponents hopes of drawing and probably winning them. |

Victory in De Rossi's first two matches as Roma coach was quite important, not only looking at the points they got, but it was also important to be able to increase the confidence of this team and also De Rossi so that he could build chemistry within the Roma team more easily and quickly. .
However, at this time it is still too early to assess De Rossi's performance, this season's journey is still quite long and they have to overcome many obstacles for De Rossi to achieve the target given by Roma management, namely being able to finish in the Champions League zone and also other difficult things. For De Rossi, this season's Serei A team has sufficient strength so it is quite difficult to compete.
This is a tough season for AS Roma because they're no longer under the control of José Mourinho, rather they're in for new coach who's still not settle in the club. Daniele De Rossi is young enough to handle and also learn to adapt to the temporary system. AS Roma sacked a formed coach and brought in another excellent coach, the club's on track and doing everything possible to grab good points. The wins was top priority for the new coach because that alone stimulates his stands, he's no holding but bringing up the very best performance. |

I'm highly disappointed in Barcelona this season, missing the old days when Barcelona was a big threat in any league they qualified.
Xavi may not be the problem of the club on why their progress is limited, the players have a poor performance, poor goal scoring and nothing so interesting about their play.
Real Madrid and Man city are the beast of the league with stats of 6 games played, 6 won, 0 draw and 0 loss. Very brilliant performance from them both and I see the winners coming from any of them.
Barcelona performance doesn't follow suit in for Real Madrid and Girona this season. The problem of the club, ofcourse it's not Xavi Hernandez but points out to be the players and the board that have ruined the good flow of energy. Now the club's suffered from big loss, and this scenario will continue till the board worked on this problem. I also miss the good old days when Barcelona was the main trend in every competition they featured in. You wouldn't dare compare the performance of Barcelona to any other club, not even Real Madrid, they didn't have a style of play against the Blaugrana and always plays safe and defend. |

Until now, I believed that Modric and Kroos' continued presence at Real Madrid was to help nurture young and upcoming players who would take over their positions after they left. We can see from last season that they did not get enough playing time and only started a few times from the bench. .
Carlo Ancelotti knows the best, he's the headcoach and have gained enough experience, that's why handling such an elite team needs an advanced coach that's competent of hitting the ultimate goals. The aged players are present for the upgrade performance of the club. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos played a major role in Real Madrid this current and previous season. Their presence on the pitch made the new signings to become acquainted with the system swiftly, in the likes of Jude Bellingham who pair with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, he's now in his prime with the club and this time he can play without having any pressure. |

Because there are still 2 matches before the meeting with Munich, I think Leverkusen must pay attention to player fitness and also avoid player injuries if they want to play at full strength when facing Munich.
This will indeed be an interesting match and the impact of both teams scoring is a better choice than betting on one team's win. because I think both of them have the same chance in this fight. Munich and Leverkusen are the strongest candidates to tropy.
The serious contenders for the league title are Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, these teams have proven themselves in all rounds. In the mid-season, Leverkussen remained unbeaten, they should be extremely careful because they will face more challenges in matches, perhaps we have Xabi Alonso in the picture, he's capable of hitting the primary goals for the team. A crucial moment for Bayer Leverkussen because they will strive their best to ensure they avoid injuries, ensuring they trigger stellar performance in matches. Leverkussen will keep pushing for more elevated standards in the club. |

I was not surprised by this result and in fact from the start I avoided betting on Brighton's victory because we can see in the last few matches that Luton's performance has been quite impressive and they have indeed identified that they have really recovered while this is in contrast to Brighton which is slowly Performance began to decline, Brighton's defeat was quite natural, but conceding so many goals was a bit surprising to many people.
Roberto De Zerbi will ask himself, where did he go wrong because he can't explain to the team's board how challenging the game was for them at Kenilworth Road which led to them conceding a whole of 4 goals against an average side. Luton Town flogging Brighton & Hove Albion 4 nil which happens to be one of the embarrassing results so far this season. The Seagulls did dominated the game but ended up not doing the necessary, not applying more pressure on their opponents because if they actually trigger, they would have atleast gotten a goal. |

Newcastle with a surprising win over Aston Villa, away from home. With Fabian Schar's double goals and an own goal by Alex Moreno. Newcastle lead 3-0 at the moment with 25 mins to go and it doesn't look as if Villa can make a comeback. Aston Villa could go out of the top 4 if Spurs manage to win their next game which would be against Brentford tomorrow.
Watching Aston Villa getting thrashed at home, a dissapointing result for the hosts, they've failed to reciprocate their actions. Eddie Howe knows what he wants and he goes to achieving good fights with his opponents, he keeps winning as priority. He's currently beating Unai Emery at the Villa park, 3-1 with Newcastle leading on the scoresheet. They've planned everything to be competitive and smooth on Newcastle end, more reason they don't have a reason for the Magpies to doubt their chances of winning because they keep pressing for more goals. |

Bayer had 28 chances, whilest Borussia Monchengladbach had 6. This alone shows how one-sided the match was and Leverkusen should have win. They had a lot of clear chances. Their main striker Boniface is injured, so they contracted Borja Iglesias two days ago who will be in the squad for the next game.
Injuries hampered elite teams and caused them to slack back in performance. Is Victor Boniface injured? That is not to say that Leverkusen will not maintain their marvelous performance because they are currently the top team in Germany; we have seen these teams evolve to become untouchable. Borrusia Mönchengladbach felt pleased to hold the draw against the Bundesliga's leading club. Bayer Leverkusen attempted their absolute best, but nothing worked out for them; instead, they continue to have adverse outcomes against average teams, but superior opponents easily win them. |

Both Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray won 2-1 this week. In previous weeks these teams were scoring 4 or 5 goals every game. In recent weeks they have been winning their matches with a 1 goal difference. This could be an indication that both teams are now very close to making mistakes. Both teams played the first half of the season almost without making mistakes. I don't expect the same performance in the second half of the season. We will see more mistakes in the second half of the season. The team that makes less mistakes will win the championship. I think Fenerbahçe will win the league because they have a better squad depth and a more consistent rotation.
Mistakes occurred when a club doesn't suit in the competitive race of the league. In all of Galatasaray's and Fenerbahçe's outstanding forms, one will decline first before the other, as evidenced by prior matches. Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have the same number of points (60 apiece), however Fenerbahçe leads due to goal difference. Both clubs are anxious for the league title this season; they are not giving up in their positions due to dropped matches, but rather are working extremely hard toward fulfilling the expectations of their followers. |

It was a natural thing, Klopp resigned when Liverpool was at the peak of its glory. Mourinho was fired because of several bad matches.
It's different when Mourinho resigned when he won the European League trophy, of course this would be discussed and become hype on all media platforms.
Can De Rossi make Roma successful? I don't want to have too high expectations of him.
The most reasonable target is to keep Roma's table in the top 5 so that they have a big chance of qualifying for the UCL or Europa League.
If that can be achieved then De Rossi is worthy enough to be retained to coach Roma.
No objective is too impossible for an elite team to accomplish. Daniele De Rossi have recorded defeats in his managerial role incharge, he just need to become serious with the long counters with his opponents, no other better position will be landed for AS Roma other than watching the club compete for the top four in this current season. Daniele De Rossi is new and we're unfamiliar with his pattern of game, there's a whole lot he can identify for everyone to noticed in the team, he just need more time to make emphasis of the top games and bring back the formidable form of AS Roma. |

A great tie, great rivalry but Chelsea are very far off it so there isnt much rivalry any longer. I think Jürgen clopp boys will get the win in this tie over Chelsea
A cruicial 3 points in their title charge; I do not think Chelsea stands a chance
3 points is necessary for big clubs. Mauricio Pochettino have another test to clear the doubt of his supporters, he won't relent but focused on winning the top games at hand. On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp is in his last season for the club, he won't stay back and watch his team lose to Chelsea, not when he got eyes on the EPL title. Liverpool vs Chelsea at Anfield this weekend. This is an important game, I'll not forgive myself if I missed out on this game because my favorite team is playing against their rival who's topping the English Premier League table. |

Kaiserslautern : Schalke 04 4:1
what is going on with schalke 04 ? schalke lost again with 1:4 in kaiserslautern. 0 points this year. even the new coach does not bring any points .
it is really a catastrophic season for schalke 04 . 15th place and 20 points. so it will be nothing more with a relegation place .
in today's other match hannover 96 won 3:0 against nürnberg. hannover is now in sixth place with 28 points
Schalke 04 have 50/50 probability of staying in the league or facing another demotion, this is not the Schalke 04 I know in bundesliga all these years. What's really happening to Schalke 04 this season? They're no showing any sign of improvement for upcoming matches, they're failing to meeting up the require standard of an elite team. Wait a minute, what's the primary job for Karel Geraerts who's consider the new coach of the team? He's doing absolutely nothing for the club because their previous match, it was a heavy defeat, 4-1 against Kaiserslautern. |

I would have liked Estoril to win the title because they're a smaller team, and they came very close, started winning, conceded a goal but still managed to hold on until the end
I thought they'd do it, as often in championships a team wins several games on penalties
But even in second place the team deserves all the credit, they were ahead of the top 4 and they should be proud.
I should place my bets on Porto again today
Placing bets on these teams that failed to maintain consistent performance is worthy wise idea, my suggestion should be playing on top teams. It's not easy as it seems, you don't expect mediocre team to begin record winnings in matches because there's high level of competitive race in the league. For a start, Estoril stats this season, 5W 2D 11L which is trembling poor for the club in general. They're fighting to escape the relegation zone on the table, 15th position is no safe spot for the club, they just have to retrace their steps and fall back to winning matches as usual. |

I agree Real Madrid has
Camavinga
Bellingham
Valverde
Guler
Tchouemani
Ceballos
The future of the Real Madrid midfield is set and already fine tuned; either kroos and modric leaves or not; the options are in full gear.
Real Madrid is indeed the galactic o; an mbappe signing would make the squad unstoppable
Madrid president, Florentino Pérez will relaxed his mind because there's other part of progress than watching his new signings delivering the club from challenges. I would gladly say the future of Real Madrid is in safe hands after watching the stellar performance of this current squad, they have ginger spirit to play matches without facing challenges that will drain them down. Real Madrid have the best squad in La Liga as it stands currently, there's no other competitive squad competent enough to match energy except for Girona, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. |

For those who bet on a PSG to win obviously, this draw remains a bad result for those who bet on a PSG to win in this match. Different cases if it only about a prediction that does not involve money then yes, this draw is certainly still a good result because yes, basically they only consider PSG's position in the standings and not about the personal bets they make. But indeed, considering that in the first half PSG won 2-0 then yes, at least there was an underestimation of the opponent for PSG because by underestimating the opponent like that, Brest managed to make two goals also in the second half.
For a day, I never anticipated the act that Paris Saint-Germain will be held to a draw to Stade Brestois 29. PSG opponent classified as average team, then how come they're able to do comeback in the second half against the top side? A big question that have been bothering me for hours now because I place wager in favour of PSG, they ended up not triggering the desirable outcome of the vast majority of gamblers in the system. This is really one of the terrible results for PSG, they've lost this winning point and will focus on next game. |
