The way Liverpool is talking about the upcoming season is incredibly impressive to me because they are doing well in both Europe and the Premier League. They maintain their consistency, and I feel that if they can keep it up until the end of the season, they will be able to accomplish good results. They will win the season if they maintain their consistency. Because their performance will determine their victory, and they are currently in good form, my prediction is that they will  be the winner of season.
Liverpool who have a good squad depth have the ability to maintain high standards in multiple competitions. Liverpool's track record indicates that they have the potential to sustain their form throughout the season. The team's focus on maintaining a high level of performance bodes well for their chances of achieving positive results in both domestic and international competitions.

The combination of domestic and European success is a challenging feat, but Liverpool's squad, under the guidance of Jurgen Klop, is well-equipped to handle the demands of such a dual campaign. The players' understanding of the team's style of play and their ability to execute it effectively contribute to their success. Their biggest enemy is injuries that we have seen in the past seasons. But if Liverpool can continue to perform at the current level until the end of the season, there is a strong possibility that they will secure significant achievements, possibly winning the PL and UEL.

Tottenham just did their homework and won their game against a Bournemouth which was in a great shape having won most of their games recently and only today they were stopped.
Totenham was dominating its opponents and no doubt that it was able scoring three goals unlike arsenal which was losing another three points which is making the club goes down again. We will be seeing the competition from liverpool and manchester city.
I have not seen arsenal potentially to be a competitor for manchester city and liverpool. City is now surpassing arsenal and it has the same points like the gunner. It surprises me how aston villa and arsenal were bottling it.
Tottenham keep showing good performances with their regular starters back in the team. This shows that their squad depth isnt good enough with some bad results when their key players absent. This success contrasts with Arsenal's recent struggles, which has resulted in dropped points and a decline in the league standings. Arsenal is too inconsistent to be a serious title contender.

The competition in the Premier League is undoubtedly fierce, with Liverpool and Manchester City emerging as strong contenders. It's indeed surprising how both Aston Villa and Arsenal, having shown promise earlier, are facing challenges and not capitalizing on opportunities. As the season progresses, the competition from Liverpool and Manchester City will likely intensify that makes it crucial for teams like Arsenal to regroup and find their form if they aim to be serious competitors.

It is possible if Joshua Kimmich considers to move to EPL teams but I am not sure he wants to join Man United. Man United is a very unstable team, Joshua Kimmich will risk his career if he decides to join Man United. I think he will prefer to join Man City, Liverpool, or Arsenal that perform better than Man United in every season.
I guess that Joshua Kimmich will for sure not leave Bayern Munich and that his contract there will be extended in some way.
If he really join another Team (what i dont thin) it will be maybe only 2 or 3 teams maybe , Manchester City or Barcelona have the best chances.
But in my opinion he will stay in Munich and he will end his career there when the time has come for it.
It's common that great players who have achieve to many title with Bayern want to try another challenge outside germany. we have seen that in the past. but there are compelling reasons to believe that Joshua Kimmich is likely to remain with Bayern Munich and possibly extend his contract with the club. Kimmich has become a linchpin for Bayern, showcasing exceptional skills both defensively and offensively. His versatility and ability to contribute across various positions make him an invaluable asset, and Bayern is well aware of his importance to their success.

Kimmich has been an integral part of this success who won numerous trophies with Bayern, including domestic league titles and the UEFA Champions League. He has been with Bayern Munich since 2015, and there seems to be a strong bond between the player and the club. But that success is also a reason for him to try another challenge. Manchester City or Barcelona might be tempting options for him. Guardiola who shaped his versatality would be a reason, if he choose Manchester City, but if he wants to have a big impact on a team, he would chose Barca, because they really need an experienced player in midfield after losing Busquet.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid’s match will be the toughest match of the week in the hope Laliga next week. I went through their statistics and I see that  Atletico Madrid won three and draw the remaining two; but on paper this season, Girona should be the favorite due to their form this season, and I am sure Girona will try to win this match so that they can keep their consistency and keep fighting for the title together with Real Madrid and Barcelona. I am also seeing Girona winning this match 2-1
The upcoming match between Girona and Atletico Madrid indeed seems poised to be a tough and closely contested encounter in La Liga. Atletico Madrid's record of three wins and two draws reflects their solid maintainance of their performance that shows their resilience. But I think they need more than that if they want to climb higher on the table.

However, Girona's consistency suggests they are a force to be reckoned with. Girona will likely approach this match with the intent to maintain their impressive form and stay competitive in the title race alongside Real Madrid. Girona's determination to beat Atletico Madrid could lead to a closely contested battle. I think they have capability to break down Atletico's defense and capitalize on scoring opportunities. I expect Girona to win this game.

Juventus has a better rally in the competition for the title this season because one more match will make a change in the standing table and that must be supported by the bad results achieved by Inter milan. The difference in points with Inter milan is quite close because Juventus was able to take advantage of a good opportunity this week to get 3 points while Inter milan failed to get full points. AC milan and Fiorentina are quite far behind Inter milan so they only focus on maintaining their ranking from the pressure of the teams below them.

But AC Milan and Fiorentina can hope for luck if Inter milan suffers another failure then their points will be closer in the coming weeks. For Juventus, they are Inter milan main challenger this season, so Inter milan must be aware of this by performing even better in the upcoming matches.
Juventus is indeed making a strong rally in the competition for the title this season that put more pressure on Inter Milan. The close point difference between the two teams keeps being significance after every match. The recent dropped points by Inter Milan have created an opportunity for Juventus to capitalize and potentially take the lead in the standings.

AC Milan and Fiorentina are currently trailing Inter Milan, but their hopes are to too slim with their inconsistencies. But if Inter Milan continues to face challenges and drops points, AC Milan and Fiorentina can certainly close the gap. The mounting pressure for Inter Milan makes them potentially to have more slip-ups, while Juventus poses a significant threat as their main challenger this season. The competition at the top of the table is intense, and Inter Milan will need to step up their game in the upcoming matches to maintain their lead. The title race is far from over, and the performances in the coming weeks will likely determine the fate of the teams involved.

There is definitely no doubt about the winner of this season in France because so far all other teams couldn't have good performances in this league while the performance of PSG was awesome in the games we saw from this team.
As I said before about this league, I think if other teams want to race with PSG to win the title they should have the same or more investments in their teams to have better players and coaches.

Financial investments do play a big role in building a strong squad, eventhough it's not the sole determinant of a team's success, it becomes too clear to see the gap when fanancial gap is too big. PSG can have a series of unfortunate events, it seems wouldnt impact them with the squad depth they have.

We've witnessed Lille outperformed expectation and challenged PSG to win the league. But this can't always happen when they keep selling their best players, unlike PSG who keep buying good players. Investments in players and coaches are crucial, but effective team management, strategy, and cohesion are equally important. Teams with smaller can demonstrate that with the right approach, teamwork, and tactical acumen, but maintaing it will be the hardest challenge.

Exactly, I agree. I don't even have any idea about how Aston Villa managed to mess it up against Sheffield Utd a little while ago. They barely saved 1 point you know. Manchester City could have crushed Sheffield Utd also but they won by only 2-0. Haaland - De Bruyne duo were missing which must have affected the score quite negatively.  Sad

De Bruyne was seen on the bench though but Guardiola said that Haaland didn't start to train with the team yet.

When this duo both start to be on the pitch the other title challengers had better be ready for a tougher title fight.  Grin
These are results around boxing day as always. Aston Villa struggle against Sheffield United can be unpredictable, but, in time around, top teams face challenges against supposedly weaker opponents. Playing after short times rest makes things go not unexpected. But this is not uncommon in premier league.

The absence of Haaland and De Bruyne could have affected teh performance of the team that shows the importance of De Bruyne in shaping match outcomes. It's promising for City fans that despite the duo's absence, they managed to win the game, eventhough it's not as commanding as expected. Once the duo return to the pitch, it will upgrade Manchester City's performance that can pose a greater challenge to their title contenders. With the duo in top form, the title race could indeed become more intense. Guardiola's emphasis on Haaland needing time to integrate with the team suggests that once the duo is fully in sync, other title challengers will need to face a serious threat for the competition.

Arsenal
Arsenal need to improve their attack, and make sure to score as many goals as the opportunities as they create. If Arsenal gets a good striker in the transfer chance and get reinforcements in some other positions in the team, their chances of doing very well in the champions league round of 16 more than they did in the group stages will be higher. I see Roma coming to the champions league next season, I see Mourinho as someone with a plan, they look to be on that track already to achieve that with their current position on the table.
It's no secret that Arsenal need a better central forward to strengthen the attacks. The ability to convert opportunities into goals is crucial, especially in high-stakes competitions like the Champions League. Other positions within the team have been well-balanced that just need to continue the developments. I think Arteta is aware of this situation, because their creativities have been wasted by the front line.

Roma potentially entering into the Champions League next season is something to hard to be true. They are struggling right now. But Mourinho is known for his strategic planning and the ability to build competitive teams. If they continue on this trajectory, securing a spot in the Champions League for the next season appears plausible. The upcoming transfer windows and the remainder of the current season will be crucial in determining their future trajectories.

Roma has not being performing really good enough this season and I think they are not capable of winning either of both leagues trophy in which they are participating this season. Roma as coached by Mourinho is really having a hard time winning the Europa league title and sadly this season doesn't look as one where they can get a chance at the title.

There are quite a good number of good teas who have gotten pass the group stage and are very much ready to win the trophy more than Roma appear to. The likes of Liverpool and Leverkusen and now AC Milan has joined from the champions league so the Europa is more competitive than it was last season and if they couldn't win the trophy last season with less competition I doubt they will be able to win now with a higher competition., Roma needs some more improvement if they must be able to win the Europa this season.
The challenges faced by the team under Mourinho have been seemed like a formidable task, especially given the increased competition this season. Stronger teams entering the Europa League from the Champions League makes it harder for Roma. The heightened competition certainly makes the path to the trophy more challenging compared to the previous season. The fact that Roma struggled to secure the title in a less competitive field last season raises legitimate concerns about their chances this time around.

But I think Mourinho's managerial acumen will be a different factor, because he is trophies enthusiast that makes Roma might enhance their competitive edge. Mourinho is a factor to see how Roma navigates the challenges and whether they can make the necessary improvements to compete at the highest level. Fans will be keenly watching to see if Mourinho can overcome the obstacles and potentially win the Europa League trophy.

It seems that most people were surprised by the news that Ancelotti had extended his contract as Real Madrid coach and it was something rare to see Ancelotti finally stay at Real Madrid. For some time Ancelotti has always been linked with Brazil and in the end these rumors were officially dismissed with the current announcement. The Brazilian people are certainly quite disappointed to hear this news because Ancelotti is the coach who is expected to bring back the glory of football from the land of the samba dance.
I would be more surprised if Ancelotti happens to manage Brazil, because I don't remember Brazil being managed by european. But the prospect of him leading the Brazilian national team which has rich footballing history and the flair of the samba dance held a certain allure. Many hoped that Ancelotti could be the catalyst to refresh and bring back the glory days of Brazilian football.

His commitment to Real Madrid suggests that he sees a continuing project and potential success with the club. This might be disheartening for Brazilian fans, but it's a testament to the allure and prestige of managing a top European club, especially Real Madrid. The landscape of managerial careers often lead to unexpected stories, and the football world is full of surprises.

Dortmund has been excellent thus far in the Champions league but there is no hope for them winning it probably will make it to at most semi finals while they continue to drop points in the Bundesliga. I guess we can say the two teams dominating the Bundesliga are now in danger of losing their positions since both teams are usually not consistent especially Dortmund but now there have been teams who are currently consistent and if these teams are able to continue their form then the two dominating team in bundesliga will likely see a reason to do better especially Dortmund.

Dortmund may opt for a new signing this January or the end of the season but I guess this is among the less outstanding Dortmund squad before every season Dortmund usually have at least a star player who every other club are interested in, hopefully their scout may get an excellent player for them this January
Bundesliga is having a rise in the performance of some teams, and if this trend continues, it could create a more competitive landscape. This increased competition may put Dortmund in a much challenging situation to elevate their game. I think Dortmund is not a team that used to solve their problem with signings, but They certainly need to refresh their squad with new figures who can bring new dynamics. This can address any deficiencies and contribute to an upgraded squad.

The effectiveness of the scouting team in identifying and securing needed players will play a crucial role in shaping Dortmund's next half season performance. If Dortmund can address their domestic challenges and make strategic moves in the transfer market, they might just find themselves back in conpeting for the top. Fans will be exciting to see how Dortmund respond to the evolving dynamics of both Bundesliga and Champions League.

Yeah, this is beyond our expectations when we thought Inter Milan could win easily but what happened they missed this opportunity lol, instead of leaving Juventus further Inter Milan actually opened up opportunities for Juventus to get closer, if Juventus wins tomorrow then Juventus will only be 2 points away from Inter Milan or maybe Inter Milan has predicted that Juventus will also draw against AS Roma? it would be strange if they could predict before the game started Cheesy By the way Juventus previously drew against Genoa, I'm curious why Genoa was so strong against Juventus and Inter Milan?
I think Inter Milan is starting to feel more pressure with Juventus keep consistently tracking them. The draw makes Inter Milan missed an opportunity to widen the gap between them and Juventus that invites more pressure towards themself. Simone needs to solve this performance if they dont want to make it harder for them keeping the lead on the standings.

Juventus facing Roma is a big match with pressure to win on both sides. Mourinho loves this kind of match, and I won't be surprised if Roma win the game. He often approaches big games with different strategies, and expects opponents go into his tactical display. Juventus' previous draw against Genoa can sometimes rise to the occasion against more prominent opponents. these unpredictable elements that make football intriguing and keep fans guessing about the outcomes of matches.

It’s safe to say Arteta is the real Arsenal now. Without him telling his boys what to do on the pitch, they just don’t get to be creative enough. I see that a lot with them these days and yeah, we could actually say they don’t get to take there chances and that’s pretty bad but, you can agree that they are still within a safe zone to be title contenders. They’ve not derailed from that path yet and it’s really possible that we could have them lifting the league trophy because, Manchester City don’t seem to be putting much effort to be in the race this season.
The influence of Mikel Arteta on the their style of play and tactical approach has been instrumental in shaping them into genuine title contenders. His ability to convey his vision to the players has notably enhanced their creativity on the pitch. Arteta's coaching has instilled a sense of consistency and purpose that keeps them on track despite occasional setbacks.

Manchester City is seemingly struggling without Kevin de Bruyne who has become their central system with Haaland as a pure striker in the team. They looks so different compared to when they played with false nine. This opens up opportunities for Arsenal to capitalize the potential vulnerability in Manchester City. Arteta's steady influence could indeed pave the way for Arsenal to lift the league trophy.

In my opinion it is very possible for Girona to win again against Atletico Madrid like what they did a few weeks ago when they beat Barelona.
There is no need to doubt the quality of the Girona team because they have the strength and consistency that they have shown so far and this is in contrast to Atletico Madrid who have not been able to maintain their consistency throughout this season.
So I will really favor Girona in this weekend's match and they have big ambitions to finish this year at the top of the La Liga standings.
The win over Barcelona adds to the credibility of Girona as a tough opponent. Girona has demonstrated this quality in their recent performances that suggests the team is well-prepared and capable of maintaining a high level of form. Meanwhile Atletico Madrid have inconsistency throughout the season so far. If a team has struggled to maintain a steady performance, it creates an opportunity for their opponents to exploit weaknesses and capitalize on their own strengths.

Girona will be playing at home as an advantage that can be a significant factor in their favor. They have an ambition to finish the year at the top of the table that can boost motivation for the players. This can drive the team to put in extra effort and focus that make them more determined to gain a positive result. I think Girona deserve to be the favorite in this match.

If ever the government will ban gambling, people who want to gamble will eventually find a way to access gambling sites and casinos. They will just be creative in accessing those without the authorities ever finding out about it. People are stubborn especially if they are really that interested and hooked up in betting and playing, they will find ways regardless. It's not as if it will really solve the problem by prohibiting people,  it could only be a band-aid solution while the dependency in addiction haven't been addressed yet.

Indeed, gambling is someone's responsibility and not anyone else's. If they don't want to suffer the consequences, then they must do themselves a favor of not spending too much time and money in it. Addiction doesn't just occur instantly, it is a bad habit built over time. So staying away and choosing yourself  and your sanity will  save you from it. Limiting the engagement by not feeding your thirst to it will prevent you from being addicted. 
History has shown that when certain activities are banned, people often find creative ways to access them, especially addictive activities. In the internet era, people can use various tools and methods to bypass restrictions and access gambling sites anonymously. Addiction is a gradual process built over time that is hard to heal if someone's drowned into it. The root causes of addiction can't be addressed by prohibiting gambling.

Managing gambling behavior is personal responsibility to take control of their actions and make informed decisions about their level of engagement. Gamblers just need self-discipline that can be an effective way to maintain a healthy balance and avoid the negative consequences of excessive gambling.

The most important aspect of gambling is the profits side that do makes us to gamble more. Those that understand that and know the major reason why they are gambling will never forget the reason why they opt in to gamble for the money. It is very important for us to stick to what made us to go into gambling rather than losing our focus and doing another thing. If we eventually go into gambling without no tangible reasons we might lose track and end up without any benefits. There are different ways we can gamble but we should always stick to what works for us.
I suppose that if you are a professional gambler the first and probably the only reason to gamble at all is for the profits you can get with it.

However a person that is unable to reach those results needs to have a different reason to gamble, because if they refuse to change their goal even if they know they cannot get profits then it is almost a given that they will begin to lose way too much money, which could encourage them to bet even more to recover what they have lost already and so on, until they lose everything they had.
The primary motivation for professional gamblers is indeed financial gain, but they don't gain the profits solely from the the game they won, but also from sponsors and other activities. For those who may not be able to secure profits, alternative reasons for gambling could include entertainment, social interaction, or the thrill of the experience. Sustained profitability might be challenging for everyone and that the outcome is often uncertain.

People who are unable to adapt their goals and continue chasing losses may indeed find themselves in a cycle of escalating bets in an attempt to recover previous losses. This can lead to significant financial consequences and other negative impacts on themself. Responsible gambling behaviors are having a limits setting, recognizing the entertainment value, and being aware of the potential risks. Gambling behavior could become problematic if Profits become the only goal to chase.

The more we bet on a particular game, the more we understand the game with higher chances of earning more from it. We can make money from gambling if we know what we are doing. Gaming is more addictive when we keep gambling to make understand more which can increase our potential luck to earn more money. Many of casinos keep adding more games that can give us more earning if we take our time to learn how to play them and depending on how frequent we play, it can increase our chances of earning more. This will worth our time after we have learnt how to bet on the game with add skills that could increase earning.
A deeper understanding of a game can indeed enhance the chances of making informed bets, but it does not guarantee consistent profits, because luck remains a significant factor. While casinos may introduce new games, diversifying the portfolio doesn't necessarily guarantee increased earnings. Each game has its own set of odds, and success is not solely dependent on the number of games played.

Learning how to play a new game may require time and effort, and there's a risk of losing money during the learning process. It needs to balance the desire to expand the knowledge with the potential financial implications. Relying solely on the belief that increased understanding will lead to consistent earnings may lead to disappointment. Investing time to learn about games is valuable, but it need to be assessed whether the time spent aligns with overall goals and priorities.

I don't think so, in fact Osimhen will not develop more rapidly if he continues to be with the Napoli team, with what he achieved with Napoli last season, Osimhen should be able to go to a team that is more worthy and bigger than Napoli for his career development.
However, extending the contract is a decision that has been taken by Osimhen, we don't know, perhaps Osimhen's love for Napoli, which is currently in decline, is impossible to abandon.

Arsenal are in a good position at the moment, they have a capable squad and I don't think they will be careless and make any mistakes in the signings they will make.
I agree that Osimhen should go to a bigger club if he want to develop and achieve more. Napoli is not a club that would put big investment into the team to stay competing at high level. Also The club management is not the best at making strategic decisions for the team's success, like sacking the coach who guided them to Scudetto. This is not a right club for an ambitious player or a player who wants to develop his career.

Napoli is not traditionally considered among the elite in European football and potentially will not keep playing in Champions League. Consistency in a player's environment can contribute to long-term development and rapport with teammates and coaching staff, this is not established in Napoli. Osimhen's decision to extend his contarct could be influenced by a racism issue on Napoli's tiktok. The new contract could be an apology from the club to him. Arsenal could be a good option for him, Arsenal is in the need for a top striker. They are now having a great project, and Osimhen suits them perfectly.

Yep. Inter Milan is the finalist of the UCL last season. They must try to reach the final round again, they will try to beat Atletico Madrid. Sure, it won't be easy to beat Atletico Madrid because they played very well during the group stage. Atletico Madrid is the leader of group E, they only got 2 draws and 0 lose. Atletico Madrid showed their quality, they are dominating the group E although there are Lazio and Feyenoord there. Meanwhile Inter Milan is just the runner-up of group D, they failed to beat Real Sociedad.

Well, it won't be easy for Inter Milan to beat Atletico Madrid. But surely they have the chance if they can play more solidly. Inter shouldn't rely on Martinez only, they must play as a solid team if they want to beat Atletico Madrid.

The match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid will be very interesting because both teams have good quality players.
Inter Milan's journey to the UCL final last season demonstrates their ability to step up in knockout stages, and they might draw inspiration from that experience. Knockout stages often introduce a different dynamic where teams tend to approach these matches with heightened focus and determination. Inter Milan is a balanced and cohesive team that has the ability to exploit weaknesses in Atletico's defense collectively, rather than relying solely on individual brilliance.

Inter Milan being UCL finalist might instill a sense of confidence and belief in their ability to compete at the highest level, even against tough opponents like Atletico Madrid. This experience, combined with the knockout dynamics and the potential for strategic adjustments, suggests that they indeed have a chance to prevail against Atletico Madrid. The clash between two quality teams is bound to make the match intriguing and exciting.

Milan are really one of the top favourites for bookies now but I don't think so honestly. I mean there are more effectively playing teams until things come to Milan. I didn't like Milan in the Champions League much. Because they were supposed to perform better and collect more points technically. They were a very experienced team with a decent squad.

I know that their group was a group of death but they should have been able to be more competitive while even PSG were struggling. They even made it to the Europa League thanks to a comeback in their last match against Newcastle. If I don't see any more improvement from them I wouldn't get surprised in case of an early elimination of them.  Smiley
I think Milan being favorites for bookies doesn't solely rely on their current form but also factors in historical performance, squad strength, and overall reputation. Bookmakers consider various aspects beyond recent results. While Milan might not have performed as expected in certain instances, the game's nature is such that even favorites face obstacles, and surprises are inherent to football tournaments.

The comeback against Newcastle to secure a place in the Europa League emphasizes Milan's ability to fight back and turn unfavorable situations in their favor. Comebacks often showcase a team's mental strength and determination and also qualities that can be crucial in knockout stages where resilience is highly valued. The ability to bounce back from setbacks are all factors that contribute to Milan's status as favorites.
