Don't know if I should refer to this as a fairly drawn pairs except for the pairs between Inter Milan vs ATM, and Napoli vs Barcelona all the other draws in my opinion are of unequal pairing. And Manchester City seem to be the luckiest of them all.

At least with this draws we now know to an extent those teams that will survive to the next round and those that their chances of survival are very slim except the unexpected events as we have before now seen in football does happen. Can't wait for February 13th, 2024 to watch the live actions from these UCL  games.
I think City and Bayern are the two luckiest teams in the round of 16, because the strength level of Copenhagen and Lazio is still below their two opponents. I think Madrid is also in a lucky position too, because in meeting the Bundesliga representatives, namely Leipzig, I think Madrid can finish the match easily. apart from that I think Arsenal, Barcelona Inter and Dortmund get equal opponents.

Of course, this is only an assumption on paper, which means that clubs that have already qualified for the round of 16 have the same opportunities and opportunities to advance to the quarter finals or further. I agree with you, many surprises can happen and sometimes when we are too confident in one of the teams, and are favorites, we end up being eliminated early.

The knockout rounds which will start in february next year will give the 16 teams time to focus on their respective domestic leagues. City, Bayern and Madrid, as the most favored teams in the UCL, are losing the top of the standings at domestic level at the moment. however in my opinion, this does not necessarily eliminate their status at UCL.

Napoli disbanded after the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti. Is Rudi Garcia fully responsible for Napoli's decline in form? I think Garcia and De Laurentiis are responsible for the club's lackluster results. Even their star duo, Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, are not in good form now.

Since the beginning of the season, Juventus and Inter Milan have formed a two-horse race, competing for the Serie A rankings. But Inter Milan has all the elements to become the new king of Serie A, even though Juventus has a slight advantage because it does not have to participate in the Champions League.
I think De Laurentiis as the club owner is too pushy and demands too much so Spalletti chose to resign as manager. If I'm not mistaken, the two Napoli bosses reportedly have not aligned their vision and mission, but I don't know the details yet, so the separation was part of the agreement after they achieved success last season.

The appointment of Rudi Garcia as Spalletti successor is considered a failure, although not a total failure. However, in terms of quality, Garcia still cannot meet Napoli needs, his strategic adaptation at the club is not going well, even though he inherited almost all the players Spalletti left behind. Losing a defender like Kim Min Jae is a big problem, because management cannot find a suitable replacement.

Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia were important actors in Napoli success last season. If Walter Mazzarri wants to bring consistency to Napoli in the remaining matches in the future, then he as the new manager must consult a lot with Spelletti, because under Spalletti cool hands both players have unleashed their best potential, and it needs to be underlined that Management must no longer act carelessly like the post TikTok video that makes the star angry and doesn't feel like being at the club.

Everyone believed (you can check the poll) that City will win this season as well, and don't get me wrong they still do have a chance to win the league that's true but they are getting worse and worse.

The injured and missing players are making a huge huge difference, Gvardiol was a great transfer, Doku was just a future transfer and didn't really feel like he is a must get, but compared to that, Laporte who was there for a long time left, Ilkay left, Riyad wasn't playing much anyway but left, Cole Palmer left, Mendy left, De Bruyne injured, Doku now injured, they are really having trouble putting up a decent eleven on the field and that's making them lose way too many points where they shouldn't against teams they were expected to win.
Man City opportunity to defend the title this season is still quite open, because we know the difference in the standings is only 5 points behind Arsenal. Liverpool failed to return to the top after being held to a draw by Man United, and allowed the Gunners to take over their position temporarily. Regarding the situation faced by Pep Guardiola squad, I think City will recover quickly.

It cannot be denied that the absence of mainstay players in the main squad makes it difficult for Pep to carry out his strategy, some of the back up players are not yet capable enough to fill the positions left temporarily. Moreover, the departure of the old faces who won the treble winners last season is now starting to be felt, Pep must maintain the team spirit to be able to maintain its dominance this season.

I'm sure the competition will be tougher in the second half, and City will have to immediately dance their way out of their performance. Because I see Arsenal suppressing City dominance by beating them, and Liverpool forcing City to share points. That is why Pep must be more alert this season and must not think that Arsenal will lose their consistency again at the end of the season.

Barcelona being offered a lot of money is not the issue, they may always accept that as long as the yare offered a decent amount of money, hell getting rid of the salary would be a good start to begin with as well.

The problem is that the players may not accept, you have to agree that Saudi Arabia as a nation is not a place that everyone loves, you can agree with their disposition or not, but you have to accept that as a fact, you may not be getting all the players you want due to some cultural incompatibility, some people grew up with a totally opposite culture to what SA has and they may not like the idea of going there, and this is why no matter how much money you offer, they may reject. And not like they will offer 1 billion to Lewandowski neither, it would be something he can reject, still a good chunk but not enough to question.
From the club point of view, Barcelona certainly wants to encourage Lewandowski to accept the offer to move to the SPL, because the club will get a large amount of money. Considering that the striker is no longer young, only a few clubs dare to spend large amounts of money to recruit him. So it makes sense that Barcelona wants the scenario of Lewandowski transfer to the SPL to work, and hopes that it can happen.

It's true, I agree with you that sometimes differences in culture and background are factors that influence transfers, especially if we talk about the player family. Of course there are a lot of considerations here, however, the option to close out your career and get a large salary before retiring sounds tempting, not least for Lewandowski.

Lyon is gradually marking a revival in performance, most recently the match against Monaco was completed well. Lyon two consecutive wins lifted their position from the bottom of the standings. I think winning 3 points over Monaco is good for them, because we know that Monaco is tougher this season. There are still many matches ahead, and Lyon has the opportunity to continue to improve their position gradually. The most realistic target is the middle of the standings, and now they must continue to try to avoid the degradation zone as much as possible.

The January transfer window is getting closer, I think they have to immediately formulate several names that need to be recruited to add depth to the squad. In order to be able to survive in Ligue 1 next season, because entering the second half of the season the level of competition becomes hotter, and they should understand this very well.

Currently bookies are showing Bayern Munich as a bigger favourite than Real Madrid for the Champions League title. However I'm thinking exactly the opposite here. It seems like they are missing an important point while determining the biggest favourites of the title. They are overlooking the fact that Real Madrid have won this title the most and by far compared to their latest competitor in this.

In addition Real Madrid became champions here 5 times in the last 10 seasons. Isn't this record worth being shown as the second biggest favourite at least?  Grin

I can understand them about making Manchester City the biggest favourite. It is obvious that they are the strongest team in the competition right now.
I think bookies should update the favorites list every week, because a decline in team performance can occur in a short time. No one denies that Madrid, Bayern and Man City are the top three teams on the favorites list, but currently when referring to their performance in their respective domestic leagues, the three of them have lost their place at the top of the standings.

Madrid occupies second place in the La Liga standings, Bayern occupies second place in the Bundesliga standings, and Man City occupies fourth place in the Premier League. Even though I understand the competitive level is different, and the team performance can also be very different when playing in the UCL, at least this gives a bit of an actual picture of their current strength. I think several other clubs such as Inter Milan, Arsenal and even Barcelona are worth considering, because they have attributes that can make them talk a lot this season.

Regardless of the ideal list, we still have to give space to teams that can surprise. Because in UCL luck plays a very important role, such as being lucky in being in an easy group, drawing results bringing together equal opponents and things like that. In short, we cannot underestimate the teams that have passed the group phase and advanced to the round of 16 at this time. Sometimes our favorite teams make us win easily in betting, and not infrequently they also make us lose some money due to being too confident in them.

The performance of the Girona team this season has surprised everyone. Nobody expects the Girona team to top the table. However, Girona's players have continued to perform well in every match and still occupy the top spot in the points table. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are far behind Girona.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have not played as well as expected in their last matches. Due to the loss of points, these two teams have fallen far behind in the title race. Barcelona have dropped points in their last two matches. Real Madrid and Girona are performing regularly in La Liga. And so these two teams have the biggest chances to win the title.
I agree with you, that Girona and Madrid have a big chance of winning the championship trophy at the end of the season, because Barcelona and ATM are not performing consistently. However, I am still quite confident that Madrid can overtake Girona in the future, because we have often seen Madrid win under pressure every season, whereas we have never seen Girona do it, but I do not close my eyes that Girona can have luck this season.

It is true that there are still many matches yet to be played, but we can already see that Barcelona position in defending the title this season is starting to shake. Girona increasing performance is a threat to anyone, especially Xavi own squad, not to mention Madrid who are able to create the same consistency as Girona at the top of the standings.

It is still too early to speculate about who will win the La Liga trophy at the end of the season, especially since the standings have not yet been formed with a wide difference in points. This means we need to wait at least until the middle of the second half of the season, but I'm sure Madrid and Girona will still take turns at the top of the points table in the future.

It's hard to accept that Manchester City dropped points against weaker opponents. They shouldn't be losing points in these types of games, especially considering the quality of their squad. City is going through a challenging period, but sometimes things can turn around unexpectedly. They have to bounce back, as other contenders maintaining their winning streaks.
I don't know what's going on with City, but they are not their usual self this season, they are conceding too many goals, too slow in attack and they don't finish teams off. The gap between City and their fellow title contenders continues to get wider and even if we know City can go on long winning runs, it might not be the case this season, before Pep and his City side return from the World club cup, they might be many points off the top of the table. Pep has to fix this and very quickly as well if they are going to win their fourth EPL title in a row.
There are several factors why Man City is experiencing inconsistency or in other words difficulty in getting maximum points, most recently they drew against Crystal Palace. I think partly because of the injuries to Halaand, De Bruyne and Stones, without these three players Pep Guardiola will be a little confused when it comes to maintaining the team performance. Of course Pep will fix this problem as soon as possible, because losing any more points will result in reduced chances of retaining the EPL trophy at the end of the season.

It does seem confusing to understand why Man City is experiencing such a decline in performance as it is currently. I think Pep squad is experiencing a decrease in hunger for the championship trophy, because it has achieved a level of success that is so proud like last season, namely winning the treble winners. Pep must take care of his team so that they remain enthusiastic about getting points and chasing the EPL trophy for the fourth time in a row.

The competitive situation in the top four of the standings is getting hotter every week, the entry of Aston Villa to disrupt the competition from favorite teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool is increasingly making City position difficult. Moreover, if Tottenham and Newcastle return to consistency in the future, then City will have even more difficulties and will even fail to defend the EPL trophy this season if they don't make improvements.

Juventus failed take advantage with Inter Milan must focus playing in Champion League on match group stage round but Juventus have draw against Genoa last match and great opportunity to make four points remaining from current standings by Inter Milan if can defeat Lazio today. Actually Juventus have more benefit without participants in Champion League and have 100% focus in domestic league keep pressure Inter Milan have spending their focus not only with domestic league but also in champion league. Right now Inter Milan have one month left keep focus in domestic league because Champion League 16 or round will start on February next year. Seems Juventus management target how to keep second standings in this season and get qualify to Champion League regarding finish on top first position looks difficult for them.
Despite Genoa's poor form, Juventus could not beat them, by the way, matches with this opponent are not always easy for Juventus. Losing points is bad for Juventus and obviously it could make things easier for Inter, although they still have to beat Lazio at the Satdio Olimpico to do so.

And for Inter this is not the easiest task, the last time they beat Lazio away was in 2018 and although Lazio is not in the best shape now, they score most of the points in home matches.

Milan confidently beat Monza and moved a little closer to Juventus, but 5 points is still a big gap that will not be so easy to reduce.
Apparently Juventus is not strong enough to pressure Inter Milan, it looks like Inter will walk alone at the top of the standings this season. Milan, Napoli and Roma are no better than Juventus, so the competition for the four is most likely just for the UCL slots, as Inter have been too strong for all of them so far except for Sassuolo. That is Inter only defeat so far, their chances of snatching the Scudetto from Napoli are increasing every week.

A home match record can indeed give Lazio better confidence, but I think Inter came to secure 3 points and finish the match without thinking too much about Lazio record. The strength that Inter has in the form of even squad depth makes their chances better in the match against Lazio. I think Inzaghi squad will continue its consistency this week.

On the other hand, with many matches remaining ahead, I understand that the difference in points can still be overtaken or the opposite could even happen. Inter will certainly not be completely comfortable at the top of the points table, before the points gap widens even further. In a few hours we will enjoy the match between Lazio and Inter, and I won't miss it.

That's why Real Madrid just needs to focus on their match. because there were drawn at the previous match, so it cannot be in first position. And they must not fail again in this match against Villareal. And indeed, Villarreal is not a weak team, but at least Real Madrid is statistically still above Villarreal, so as long as Real Madrid can optimize all their chances, they can win.

The matches this week are interesting to monitor. the article apart from Atletico who have to lose points in this weeks  match, Barcrlona must also be willing with 1 point even though their momentum in this weeks  match is quite good.
Atletico had to accept the harsh reality with a defeat at their home against Bilbao while Barcelona played with full dominance but indeed their problem remained the same because in the end their tiki taka was too easy to read which made  Valencia not afraid because they knew momentum was important when facing Barcelona with attacks like this that made Barcelona have to be willing to share 1 point in this week's match.

This makes Girona will become too comfortable if today  Madrid does not play well so inevitably for now Madrid must be able to get 3 points in their home match today. because its important especially 2 of their rivals play badly so it would be great if Madrid get full points and continue the competition with Girona. 
Really Barcelona made it hard for me to speak, and the ATM also made my predictions go wrong. What happened was very difficult to accept, the result was unimaginable, the way the two clubs lost points never crossed our minds. Happiness enveloped Girona and Madrid, even though they were not completely safe, Barcelona draw and ATM defeat reduced the pressure on them at the top of the standings.

ATM still has one match postponed against Sevilla, which if they win will give Diego Simeone squad the opportunity to overtake Barcelona again. On paper, ATM can secure full points in this match, because Sevilla is also experiencing more severe difficulties. This situation means that Barcelona is stuck in defending the title, the point difference will continue to be created if they draw a lot.

Apart from that, Madrid will face Villarreal, while Girona will face Alavez. It is very likely that this match will be won by both home teams, which means they will strengthen their position in the points table for a while. I don't think there will be any surprises, and trip them up like Barcelona and ATM.

Walter Mazzarri jobs seems to be in safe hands this season, there's absolutely no going back or hesitating, now he will focus on dominating more prime positions and aiming for the best results in Napoli upcoming matches. Next time you put some respect on the name, Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. They're the best players currently available in the club, we watch how everything changes for the club once they've these important players in the frontlines. Winning Cagliari was a little bit difficult for them because the visitors didn't come here to play, they mean business and everything that follows was great and outstanding.
Walter Mazzari can't be said to be safe because he still has a tough job this season, there hasn't been any surprising improvement this season, but if in the end Walter Mazzari is able to keep Napoli in the top 3 or top 4 then Walter Mazzari's job can be said to be safe. and this victory is as it should be considering Cagliari is not a tough opponent while Napoli have just experienced 2 consecutive defeats which is quite surprising so at least this victory starts good results for Napoli and I want to see Walter Mazzari's work at this club as a manager who is really suitable for Naples today.

Yes, this player is indeed the best player that Napoli has, especially Victor Oshimen, that's why Napoli is trying to continue to retain this player with a contract extension. If without Victor Oshimen, Napoli might not have won the title last season and until now Victor Oshimen is still the most important player for Napoli.
That right, that the way for Walter Mazzarri to get a contract extension from Napoli management, the most realistic target is to bring Napoli to finish in the top four and appear in the UCL next season. Mazzarri was only given a contract until June 2024, which means management wants to see his performance in managing Osimhen and his colleagues this season, to what extent he can manage and lead the Napoli squad.

Napoli chances of retaining the title are very slim, Rudi Garcia is considered the person most responsible for the decline in the team performance. Changing managerial positions is considered the right step, although we must not forget Garcia services in the UCL, he had a big role in bringing Napoli through from the group phase.

Regarding Osimhen, I think Napoli will lose the striker sooner or later, because currently there is a lot of news linking him with several big clubs. Osimhen role in Napoli main squad is quite vital, I think if management is tempted by the offer to let him go, then they will open the gates of decline for themselves, losing Osimhen will be a disaster for the defending champions.

As far as I know the draw for last 16 is going to take place on next Monday. I wish Galatasaray were also a part of it but unfortunately they performed terrible against Copenhagen like it wasn't an important game and this resulted in their elimination from the competition.  Sad  But at least we earned a lot of money during the journey which is important to finance our latest transfers.

I think that Copenhagen won't last any longer in the Champions League by the way. Looking at the group leaders only Real Sociedad can be considered a favourable challenge for them.

But even Real Sociedad have been amazing as they finished their group as the leader in Inter's presence in the same group.  Smiley


Galatasaray really fucked up that day as I never expected a defeat from them by Copenhagen that day. My taught about the game is to end in draw even if Galatasaray didn't win. I welcome Galatasaray to the Europa league play -off, I wish they can perform a little bit well in the play-off to secure a place in the Europa league.
I don't understand why Galatasay were so unlucky in the group phase, when they were able to beat Man United at old trafford and hold them to a draw for the second time, their performance was quite promising. so that makes us brave enough to bet on their victory when they face Copenhagen in the last match.

Galatasaray failed to take advantage of the momentum to advance to the last 16, and now they can continue their struggle to the Europa League. actually, what is more chaotic is Man United, they really don't have the mentality to compete in the UCL this season, the internal problems and friction that occurred within the club made them fail to speak much in group A.

The level of competition in the round of 16 is certainly fiercer, and everyone will try to beat each other. Every team will be required to show their best game, and it doesn't matter who their opponent is there. for this reason, it is mandatory to have a winning mentality, it will be useless if you have squad depth if you are afraid of facing your favorite club.

I think Manchester City have given way to Liverpool and Arsenal to win the title this season because they have added to their bad record this month, we can see that in the last 5 matches Manchester City was only able to collect 6 points 1 win 1 lose and 3 draw which I think is not a good record as a competitor in the race, Manchester City is slowly closing its chances of winning another title. If Liverpool win today's match then the point difference is 6 points and somehow Manchester City can catch up with a situation like this, unless Liverpool draw or lose maybe the scenario is different but yeah Liverpool chances of winning are certainly greater because their opponents Manchester United are not in good performance.

We have 2 interesting matches in the Premier League today Arsenal vs Brighton and Liverpool vs Manchester United I think we can all agree that the 2 home teams are favorites to win, apart from playing at home they are also in a race to win first place. On the other hand Arsenal have lost their last match so I'm sure they don't want to repeat the same mistake of course they don't want to let Liverpool comfortably stay in first place for a long time.
The draw achieved by Man City made Liverpool and Arsenal a little more comfortable in their position, if they managed to secure 3 points again it would be very good to keep their distance from City. Klopp and Arteta will certainly maximize all the potential they have, because this is a golden opportunity that must be utilized well, luck with the situation of City decline in performance must be utilized well, because we know Pep will force his team to appear consistent in the future.

I don't understand what's wrong with Man City at the moment, at first glance even though De Bruyne is absent they can play very well. The depth of Pep squad can still cover the holes left by the captain temporarily, but it seems like De Bruyne role is very vital in the line-up, it is difficult for Pep to get 3 points without his captain. This situation could threaten them to defend their title, and they could lose that momentum.

The big match between Liverpool and Man United is the most awaited match, apart from bringing together big teams, this match determines the top of the standings. Arsenal will be lucky if Liverpool draw, and they have the opportunity to overtake Klopp squad if they can beat Brighton. I think Liverpool and Arsenal can secure full points.

Yes, that's right, because it is difficult for Xavi to rotate players to choose the quality of players who will play in each of their matches, especially in a busy schedule, it is not easy to focus and concentrate on two matches in Laliga as well as in the UCL, of course not only Barcelona, even other clubs too. the same, so it's not strange if top clubs experience defeat because they don't play focused and consistent in maintaining stamina and performance too.

There is still time for Barcelona to catch up, but right now they also have to focus on the UCL championship, even though they are not sure they will make it to the semi-finals or final, because there are many tough opponents they have to face with the composition of their players currently still relatively unknown. so good enough to be able to make it to that point, hopefully Barcelona will meet a balanced opponent in the next round of the round of 16.
I said that Barcelona's form is going downhill. Last year, they were champions. This year, they were defeated by small teams. Barcelona's form began to decline after a 2-4 defeat at home against Girona. Barcelona also received a surprising defeat against Antwerp in the Champions League. The weak defeats and conflicts within the team are warning bells about the end of Xavi's reign at Barcelona.
Barcelona, under Xavi, shows an entirely different face, more fragile. The whole team still needs to improve to continue to advance and win.
I can't really called that girona as a small team anymore. It was a part of manchester city and it has lots of potential to be big. Barcelona is having dozens of unsolved problems especially related to the financial issues faced by the club. This has become the main problem owned by barcelona. Bareclona may not be able to defend its trophy achieved last season. Real madrid and girona are too strong for barcelona. Xavi has been trying so hard to build its club again but it keeps failed this season.
Im really sure that if barcelona will try to hire another striker to replace lewandowski. There may be some players to come. Xavi is a coach with very old philosophy. Barcelona needs to hire someone who can implement the modern football.
The era of tictac strategy has gone and it's time to think about how to win the game rather than how to play beautifully against your opponent. This is my main concern regarding the condition faced by barcelona.
The foundation for building a squad capable of playing modern and attractive football is financial. If Barcelona management had enough money to do this now, they would build a squad made up of star players. Management no longer needs to get around the transfer window by implementing lending and borrowing strategies, or enticing players with transfer free status to want to join them.

I think if Xavi doesn't have a strong emotional connection with Barcelona, he will also move because of the complicated situation he is facing, I mean his space to recruit players according to his wishes is very limited due to the club financial crisis. it is not impossible that in the future Xavi will resign first, before being fired by management or club officials.

Ups and downs in performance are normal, it is very difficult to create an unbeaten record throughout the season in all the competitions you participate in. the defeat of a small team was indeed a surprise, and made us lose the bet because we were too confident in the results they could achieve. even a club like Bayern Munchen, which is the favorite in the UCL and Bundesliga, has also experienced bad luck recently. apart from all that, I am quite sure that Xavi will be able to find a solution to create consistency for Barcelona in the future.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 16, 2023, 07:21:33 PM
Compared to the quality of the squad, I think Juventus has a less qualified squad. That's why Inter has more chances, but they will also play important matches in the UCL. Additionally, players may have international country matches and if they get injured in those matches, this could affect Inter greatly. It promises to be a great season this year. It is a very enjoyable season to watch.

Inter definitely have a better squad than Juventus. When I think of Inter, I immediately think of Hakan Calhanoglu, Mikhitaryan, Lautaro Maetinez, Marcus Thuram and others. But when I think of Juventus, not many names come to mind except Chiesa and Vlahovic. Inter will definitely be the strongest contenders for the title this season. Even between them and Juventus there is a huge difference in strength and quality. This will definitely affect the outcome of the league.
That's right, we can look at the Transfermarkt website as a reference, the squad depth that Inter has is better than Juventus, the accumulated market value of the players owned by Inter is only inferior to Napoli, in my opinion Osimhen price is a boost for Napoli as a whole. On the other hand, Juventus is still trapped by the sanctions situation received by players such as Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli. That's why they don't have full strength, we also remember that the last time Pogba was active he was also injured.

There are many challenges faced by Inter and Juventus in the hunt for the Scudetto this season, as mentioned, it seems very reasonable. The impact caused by injury is indeed very large, if it happens frequently then the club consistency in securing 3 points in every match will be disrupted.

I think Juventus luck is because they don't have many matches scheduled, but the draw against Genoa gives Inter the opportunity to widen the points gap. On paper, with the even squad depth that Inzaghi currently has, they have a great chance of winning the Scudetto at the end of the season. Currently, I think only Juventus is capable of seriously pressing them at the top of the standings, because Milan and Napoli often stumble.

Barcelona's losing streak became a bad result. Gavi's injury seems to make Barcelona a little sick. De Jong's return has not given a maximum performance. Reportedly some management began to be dissatisfied with Xavi's performance. There is even unofficial news that there are people in Barcelona's management who want Xavi sacked. I actually don't agree if he was sacked Xavi has brought about a change. They just need to improve Tim's performance immediately. Firing him is not the best solution at the moment.
That right, I agree with you regarding Xavi future, firing him and appointing a new coach is not a wise course. Management displeasure with Barcelona current form is understandable, and I think these rumors of dismissal are completely untrue. Xavi needs to find a solution to deal with the storm of injuries to his players who are being treated one after another, and the dullness of the front line due to Lewandowski's declining performance is another factor.

The opportunity for Barcelona to retain the title is still quite open, the 7 point difference with Girona at the top of the standings is still within reach in my opinion. Because there are still a lot of matches remaining, and what Xavi needs is to create consistency in every match, soon we will see how the Blaugrana will perform against Valencia.

Taking a closer look at Barcelona current situation, they shouldn't think any other way, I mean it's better for management to just support Xavi and his plans. Management only needs to find a solution to buy several new players in the January transfer window, so that Xavi is free to rotate players. Only a few managers are willing to be patient in dealing with complicated situations, because the club is experiencing a financial crisis.

Dortmund missed too many opportunities, Augsburg as well. It was a match that proved why Dortmund has been so bad this season. They shouldn't miss this attack opportunities. Malen was okay but he could do better. The team needs Haller and he's still not ready. It's hard to win with Bynoe-Gittens and Füllkrug. Not that they are bad players but they can't use their full capacity, they only play with %60 at max. It's a shame for Dortmund, they should've been in the discussion this season while Bayern is having hard times but they just gave this chance to Leverkusen.
Dortmund will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the Bundesliga this season if they continue to draw or lose. The 1-1 draw against Augsburg that they just got is proof that they have not been able to achieve the expected consistency as usual, namely suppressing Bayern dominance. The two goals scored in this match were quite beautiful. Dortmund dominated the game, but from 24 shots and 7 of them were on target, they failed to add a goal until the final whistle sounded.

The fatigue factor due to the busy match schedule in the Champions League may be one of the causes of Dortmund declining performance. On the other hand I agree with you, if Dortmund will no longer be discussed as one of the champion candidates if they continue to lose points. This of course paves the way for the other four teams in the top four to have more freedom to occupy their positions comfortably without any interference. Bayern and Leverkusen, who currently occupy first and second place, will be very happy if Dortmund continues to stumble.

The match between Luton Town versus Bournemouth was postponed, due to captain Tom Lockyer collapsing after 59 minutes of the match. So far there is no certainty regarding the player situation, there is only news that the club will continue to monitor his developments. On the other hand, there is no certainty when this match will continue, we will look at the schedule again.

Manchester City also failed to get 3 points against Crystal Palace. City drew the match 2-2. This result was unexpected for me. Crystal Palace is a relatively weak team. It was not expected that Manchester City would drop points against this team. Manchester City completely dominated today's match. Even then they can't win. City's players had 75% of the ball possession, as well as attacking a lot. However, Manchester City cannot keep their defense strong in today's match. Crystal palace managed to score 2 goals despite not attacking much. Crystal palace players made a total of 5 shots in today's match. Crystal palace is very lucky. They managed to share the points with City in away matches.
It was very, very unexpected that Man City lost points again by drawing, regardless of the way the match went, I think they were just unlucky. In the last five matches, Pep Guardiola squad has only been able to achieve one win, a situation that puts them in big doubt. What I mean is that there will be a lot of people reacting and questioning their strength this season, regarding defending the title and getting it back.

For Liverpool and Arsenal losing points to Man City means a golden opportunity for them, because they can continue their steps towards topping the EPL standings. Of course they have to beat their respective opponents, but in this case the Reds have a little difficulty because they have to beat Man United. So far City have lost 17 points, with details of 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Pep is certainly not happy with this draw, and City only weakness is lack of luck in the form of 2 points. Apart from that, they played quite well, and dictated the course of the match according to their wishes, Crystal Palace was a lucky team because they avoided defeat and made most people bets lose.

Rezki atau nama lainnya uang akan mencari pemiliknya, dan terkait Pro dan Kontra yang timbul akibat dari kerjasama antara Tiktok dengan Tokopedia dengan pedagang Offline memang tidak dapat terelakkan. Saya pikir para pelaku atau pedagang Offline harus beradaptasi dengan perkembangan zaman, mereka harus memperbaharui cara mereka berjualan. Saya pikir mereka sudah memikirkan hal ini, dan kita juga melihat bahwa di antara mereka juga berjualan secara Online di berbagai Platform. Negara tentu tidak berencana menciptakan kisruh dan tidak akan merubah kebijakannya untuk mendukung salah satu diantara kedua pelaku usaha ini. Tetapi yang di lihat oleh Negara adalah seberapa besar pendapatan yang di dapatkan dalam bentuk pajak, ya pendapatan tahunan yang membuat Negara untung.
