Arsenal are one of the teams that started the season by two wins. As there are only two teams that did this, it is attracting. Their next game is an away one against Bournemouth. Maybe the bookmakers think that Arsenal are very clearly the favourite but I'm not very sure about this. Bournemouth aren't a weak team and they wouldn't let Arsenal win easily. Maybe this game could be the first one Arsenal lose points.
I don't think, Arsenal will lose points in their next match because the tactics they are using in this season is totally different from last season tactics, which will be difficult for them to experience any defeat from any team in this premier league competition. If Arsenal can open their first leg in this season with massive victory, showed that they will definitely go far in this season to embrace the title at the end of the tournament. I think, it will be difficult for Bournemouth to defeat Arsenal because their strikers are not too strong to have access to Arsenal defense to achieve a goal from the match. Arsenal's 2 consecutive victories in their opening 2 matches are motivation for the players, especially for their attacking line. Bournemouth is one of the promoted clubs this season and I don't think this will hinder anything for Arsenal because indeed if you look at the depth of the current squad and the performances they have, it is clear that Arsenal are superior in every way. |

Don't forget some surprises from the hosts in the previous event, which even has almost the same chance as Qatar today but can still go on and give surprises there.
Indeed in this case for the first match Qatar and Ecuador the odds will be very far apart but I expect a surprise in their match and not only as a complement.
I think these two countries will not be complementary in this world cup event because Ecuador and Qatar will try to do their best in the match, but I think it is too early to discuss now. Because the opening of this year's world cup takes place in November which is still around three months from now. Although making a little discussion about the world cup is not wrong. This is not a question of complementing or not because in this case I still feel they are the two teams that can be underdogs in the middle of the Netherlands and Senegal there because indeed I am still championing the two countries for Group A at this time. It would be too naive to say they complemented each other because they would obviously be competing there too. We are almost close and actually these 3 months will not be long so who they really need to be resolved. |

Ecuador is still something that can be considered good in this group but I don't like the tough game they apply in this case because it could be a suicide bombing for them.
Senegal is still very good, especially with the current conditions, they are indeed the champion of AFCON which clearly brings high confidence.
Actually Qatar is the least seeded team but with the home title hopefully they will give a surprise.
No matter that Qatar is the host country on this first game against Ecuador there is money to be made and I think Ecuador odds will be really low as the difference in quality between the two teams is noticeable.We have seen quite some big surprises in the last World Cup but I doubt Qatar is able to achieve a surprise result against Ecuador.I think Ecuador needs to win this game at all costs in order to have a chance to qualify further,if they don't win against Qatar then against who will they win? Don't forget some surprises from the hosts in the previous event, which even has almost the same chance as Qatar today but can still go on and give surprises there. Indeed in this case for the first match Qatar and Ecuador the odds will be very far apart but I expect a surprise in their match and not only as a complement. |

I still feel that their chances of advancing to the knockout stages are still a bit open even though there are the Netherlands and Senegal here.
These two teams will be strong contenders in this group. As for Ecuador and Qatar, they are still the Underdogs and are not seeded despite hosting Qatar.
But sometimes the home team is always lucky and at least getting through it can be a good achievement even though it is very difficult.
IMO, Netherlands and Ecuador are the strongest teams in that group. Qatar stands no chance against them. They may have a chance against Senegal, but as we know the latter have some very good players such as Sadio Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly. Qatar doesn't play that often against teams of this calibre. They usually play against AFC teams such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, and their style of play can be very different when compared to the CAF and CONMEBOL teams. To be honest, there is a good chance that Qatar may end up with zero points in the group stage. Ecuador is still something that can be considered good in this group but I don't like the tough game they apply in this case because it could be a suicide bombing for them. Senegal is still very good, especially with the current conditions, they are indeed the champion of AFCON which clearly brings high confidence. Actually Qatar is the least seeded team but with the home title hopefully they will give a surprise. |

It's bound to happen. Erik ten Hag will be under immense pressure and the media will continue to report on him if Manchester United's defeat occurs at Old Trafford.
If Ronaldo has a strong desire to leave, a good step in my opinion that should be taken by Erik ten Hag is to let that happen even though the former Ajax Amsterdam coach has expressed a desire to work with the Portugal captain.
This will not be much different or even worse than the previous pressure if you see Erik Ten Hag who is increasingly being pressured to improve from their mistakes during the last 2 matches. Some of the rumors I've heard of fans trying to agree to vacate the stadium as a form of resistance to Manchester United's ownership, so other rumors that the Glazers are going to sell the club. Liverpool with less than optimal conditions also had a bad start, from 2 matches that ended in a draw. Klopp also saw a squad that was not so fresh due to the injuries that some of his core players had. Did the two clubs meet with the same conditions and not fine? The pressure on the Glazer Family has been getting bigger in recent seasons which has made the fans of Manchester United start reacting with the results of their 2 matches in the beginning of this league and it seems this is also welcomed by the Glazer Family because they reportedly will sell if anyone dares to pay this club 4 billion pounds. This, if you look at it now, seems to be £250 million cheaper than Chelsea, which Todd bought. The threat of the fans is also not kidding because the boycott is clearly a real threat there. |

ATM is on fire in this game. 3 goals to 0 in few minutes before the end of the game, makes them the team with the best start along with Villarreal and unlikely for one of them, they will face each other in the second round.
Barcelona in the other hand, have to focus on the next match vs Sociedad which is a hard team. Real Madrid seems to have the easiest match between them vs Celta Vigo.
We have to applaud the ATM team for putting up a very good performance away from home today, the team started the season with an outstanding outing, dominating the home team Getafe and not allowing them to have a single shot on target in Coliseum Alfonso Perez standium. I believe so far ATM and Villarreal came prepared for the new season as they have shown that in their opening match and so far they stand as the best openers of the league and hopefully they will show more of that as they meet in their next game. For the next match of Real Madrid against Celta Vigo, I will not give Madrid a win because I was not impressed with their performance against Almeria. I also praise the game Morata showed in this match. He answered doubts and seemed to say that leaving Juventus was one of the right things for him. The 2 goals he scored really made him like a hero and at the same time became a hope for Atletico Madrid to improve their performance after last season they were in uncertainty. |

Of course a big loss for Liverpool lost one mainstay player But just Liverpool managed to equalize the score 1-1 I hope Liverpool's confidence will increase even with only 10 players
The red card received by Nunez will have a huge impact on Liverpool in this match because losing Nunez will automatically reduce the percentage of attacks they make. Now, in a situation like this, I hope Liverpool players don't lose concentration to keep every line so that something ridiculous doesn't happen which results in a defeat. Their chances of scoring goals are still there but without Nunez it might be a little tough for Liverpool in this match. I hope Salah can score in the remaining minutes of the second half. The match is already at its dying minutes. Liverpool has managed to stay at 1:1 with crystal despite playing one man down from the early minutes of the second half. At a point I was thinking the form of Liverpool was in question but keeping their head high above shoulder and scoring back just 4 minutes being down with one man is worth commending. Edited: FT 1:1 Yep the match has ended now and they have to complacent again with their draw score for this second match. There are several notes that Klopp should pay attention to in this match, such as minimizing unnecessary fouls to make their attack line better in finishing. During the 90 minutes of the game we knew that Liverpool were superior in every way but indeed playing with 10 men was obviously quite difficult for them. Goodbye my bet  |

It is true that the only way Qatar was going to play in the world cup is by hosting the world cup. And I really don't believe that they have any chance of winning or even getting past the first stage of the world cup. I am not even sure that they will be able to win even one match. However, as they are the hosting countries, they will be able to participate in the world cup, but even the people of Qatar don't have high hopes for them.
I still feel that their chances of advancing to the knockout stages are still a bit open even though there are the Netherlands and Senegal here. These two teams will be strong contenders in this group. As for Ecuador and Qatar, they are still the Underdogs and are not seeded despite hosting Qatar. But sometimes the home team is always lucky and at least getting through it can be a good achievement even though it is very difficult. |

Unfortunately chelsea couldn't get a goal I also bet for chelsea, it seems impossible if the chelsea game only makes a draw because chelsea is a big club that already has above average players at least 1 point can be superior is enough which means it can get victory for chelsea, but everything has happened and the regret that can be had because it didn't live up to the expectations of the chelsea supporters.
In this case there may be a bit of debate there because it is clear with the controversy between Romero and Havertz and Romero's Cucurella hair pulling also in this match so that there are indeed most who feel Chelsea are a little disadvantaged in this match. But indeed regardless of what now the referee's decision is unanimous and the match has ended with a draw. |

This must be the worst ever version of Manchester United team. Just how can you lose 4-0 to a team like Brentford? Manchester United destroyed them last season in both matches even though they weren't having a good season. But now they are even losing this match also. I don't understand what this team need now. Erik ten Hag might get sacked very early if they continue to get results like this.
This clearly gave Ten Hag a headache because instead of improving the scheme he was running, it only got worse. 4-0 from a club that is clearly away from them really isn't good there and with this result it's definitely sinking them at the bottom now. I'm actually looking forward to next week how they will face Liverpool at their current state. |

oh man ! what crazy results ! leipzig only draws 2:2 against cologne and leverkusen loses against augsburg 1:2 .
and bremen gets a point in the 94 minute. 2:2 .
and tonight there is another match: schalke against mönchengladbach . will there also be a big surprise there ?
The second week there have been some surprises that have happened and this is quite exciting to see although indeed I lost money at Leverkusen and Leipzig this week but indeed it was quite difficult for Leipzig and my biggest failure at Leverkusen this week. Currently Gladbach are the favorites for a while but it is possible that there will be another surprise in this match as well. |

The Netherlands always had a great team, especially from the beginning of the 1970s, but they had the misfortune of playing in the finals in 1974 and 1978 against the hosts, Germany and Argentina, in 1998 they lost on penalties to Brazil, in 2010 they only lost in extra time to the best generation of Spain ever...
Maybe it's a matter of luck or bad luck, but obviously they always lacked something at key moments.
The Netherlands will again be one of the favorites this time, but the question is whether they will have the necessary quality and experience to finally become world champions.
Currently the chance of the Netherlands is quite large, this is because they are joined by 3 teams that can be said to be below them. I think with their current condition it is clear this will give the Dutch the upper hand and the chances of qualifying are very high. But it has to be seen also that the biggest threat for them at the moment is hosts Qatar who could be one of the Underdogs due to some of their home advantage. |

I want to see how the new Barcelona play tonight against Rayo Vallecano. Surprisingly, Barcelona have lost their last two games to the visitors. Will they be able to correct those mistakes tonight? I think so, and I think they will be able to score some goals. With these changes at the club and good transfers, Rayo Vallecano have no chance.
This is the first game and I don't think they will make a fatal mistake by losing their first match because this can indeed be a benchmark for them to navigate the league this season. But I haven't seen the latest news yet. whether their new players will definitely play at this time because in recent days the issue of threatening Barcelona by the regulations has always been widely discussed. |

If you think it's an easy opponent you can bet on Sevilla with big money as odds are pretty high for their win. It's not unusual as this is season opener and every outcome is possible but if you have full trust over Sevilla then I suggest you to take this chance. I don't think it will be easy though. Sevilla is favorite but the gap between two teams are not that high. Osasuna don't have powerful scorers but they can defend well. In friendlies Osasuna was okay and they are ready for new season.
It's all about first goal actually. If Sevilla can't score for a long time then there will be crisis. If they score early and take the lead it will be easier game for them.
I also believe in Sevilla in the game and placing a bet for it but not with big money this is too risky but I think in football anything can happen to be a surprise so Osasuna can't be underestimated but statistically, Sevilla are superior. Now that's what Osasuna has a good defense then, of course, it will be difficult for Sevilla to score but either way both of them will try each other to win in this match, but I feel Sevilla can excel in possession but I will not underestimate Osasuna either. Currently, the match between Sevilla and Osasuna is going on, with 22 minutes of the game already played. There were goals scored by both teams during this match. At the present moment, the score stands at 1-1. There is a lot of aggressive play going on between both teams, and I am expecting that they will score more goals in this game. In spite of the fact that the score is even, I have to say that Sevilla feels like playing better even though they are down a point. There is a great deal of improvement in the way they are keeping the ball as well as creating more chances for themselves. The game is over now, and there is something interesting in this even though Sevilla did have the ball there but Osasuna's counter-attack was really very fast if we look at it and even there seemed to be more chances that Osasuna had than Sevilla. The result was quite surprising actually for me because indeed I still feel that Sevilla are the most likely to draw but indeed they have to admit the advantage of Osasuna who are in their own home. |

It's easy to say they need to improve their performance but the internal problem can't be solved easily. If that can be done and MU can play better against next team. It's not easy like people said. So many things already tried but the perfomances were always the same. It seems like those players who have very bad performance must not be used in the next match. The player like meguire is always making blunder.
Apart from their internal problems, currently Ten Hag have to make a few changes to face Brentford in their next match. At least a little improvement in attack and a few changes for defense would probably be very good I think. Martinez can still be used, but as for the team captain they must be replaced at this time because in the first match he has made several mistakes that can be said to be quite fatal with his "no look defense". |

Under the leadership of Luis Van Gaal, the Netherlands played very solidly with a very good performance. The Netherlands will meet Senegal in the first leg of the group stage.
Senegal is not an easy opponent to beat but also not the most difficult opponent to face, both teams have star players, the battle between Sadio Mane and Memphis Depay is very interesting for football lovers.
however, if you look at the depth of players and match statistics, the Netherlands is ahead of the other squads that are in Group A. I believe the Netherlands will qualify for the group stage, although it is too early to predict it.
In this case his role has been quite good so far and the possibility for Van Gaal's world cup event will show something interesting because this is the last time he will coach the Netherlands considering that after this event he will be replaced by Koeman. I don't really know why he was substituted but considering this is his last appearance with Holland then he will definitely go all out I think. |

You can't do everything with money. PSG has very good players and they can add any player they want to their roster, they think they can get anything by paying whatever they want, but I don't think there is a team spirit. It is not enough to have very good players, in other leagues you can see that teams with much weaker players can be much more successful  There is no league that weaker teams who do not spend money become successful, in football you have to spend money, buying good players is what makes a team strong and successfully, and to buy very good players, money has to be spent. Psg bought many new players last season, and some of them have not adapted with the team yet, and that happens to every team. It is not a lack of team spirit in my opinion, these players will soon get used to playing together and it will make them a winning machine. Exception possible for the Red team in the EPL But indeed the average club that has more money then indeed there they will be great and that is a fact. Now almost all clubs that do have above average funds have become successful and indeed money is the determining factor here. For PSG themselves, they actually have their own success, but indeed sometimes our reference to PSG is the Champions League, so no matter how successful he is in Ligue 1, it seems ordinary because it is only the Champions League which is the reference for people. |

Alexis Sanchez was one player I loved as at when he was at Arsenal.He was so good on the ball that defenders and opponent find it difficult when ever they play against him.But it seems he has had a bad injury record when he was at Inter,and this is bad because even in his new team,injury might still affect him and make him not to perform the way he is supposed to perform.But if he has an injury free season with Marsseille,I believe he will perform very well at the club,and I'm sure he will pick form again if there is no injury on him.
There are many stories in football that a player gets injured and rarely shows his talents that he could have showed. I mean think about it, if we are talking about injuries, the first name that pops in my head is Ronaldo. That dude played so amazingly that nobody had any way of stopping him, but he got injured and then he got a bit fatter and he basically stopped playing at a very early age. His only fault was not caring about his body. New era Ronaldo is nothing like that, he is both talented but also takes care of his body a lot and that shows, he rarely ever gets injured, and even at his age he is still one of the most fit players. Alexis Sanchez was just the victim of injury making career worse, and I bet he will never reach is peak. Rather than saying he didn't reach his peak I'd rather say his heyday was over when he was at Arsenal and Barcelona after that so it's like he lost all the skills he had. Last season he didn't get many chances and his age now despite his injury can still make Marseille better because his ability is still above most players in Ligue 1 especially with his experience. |

All of things in the club being managed by coach. that's why coach is the most important thing in the club. Creating chemistry in the club has become the main aim from the coach. If the club has a very good chemistry between any players and im sure if there will be a good team work.
Ego by players must able be controlled
Talking about chemistry is indeed quite important between communication, but sometimes this is still a little hindered due to the players in the national team sometimes still struggling with the many schedules at the club so that training here must also be emphasized a little, especially for the schemes that will be carried out by the coach. We can see examples now of big teams like France, for example, which incidentally is one of the strong candidates and is dominated by great players, but indeed they still have to get used to it because the scheme that is being implemented seems to be hampered there. |

Lot of people undermined Madrid with their squad in CL and LaLiga last season too but they came out as a winner but they showed great spirit and became champions of both. Madrid are strong candidates in my opinion. Barca are also a strong candidates but I have my slight doubts still.
It was this doubt that motivated the Real Madrid players last season by beating their opponents in the UCL by becoming champions last season and Real Madrid also winning Laliga. that was a really great thing for them in the previous season. for the upcoming season Real Madrid are still a strong enough candidate in the UCL competition or in the domestic league so that other teams may find it difficult to beat them. Actually for La Liga there is no doubt whatsoever for them to become champions even though they were underestimated in the UCL last season because apart from facing strong opponents they are also not as well seeded as other clubs, especially for big clubs and maybe this season will also be like that in UCL. But indeed as you said, this could be one more motivation that can be used for Madrid to go beyond the imagination of football fans. |
