Yes, if Barcelona return to poor form, a draw might be deserved from Sevilla. but the rise of barcelona under the tutelage of xavi made barcelona rise and develop in a short time, and the development of barcelona in my opinion will make it difficult for Sevilla especially in possession of the ball plus Sevilla in a declining form which I think the score in the match will be thin and Barcelona will get full points.
I don't think there is a chance for a draw result for the match Barcelona vs Sevilla. These two teams have a too different situation, Barcelona is in the top performance but Sevilla is in the worse performance. Considering this, Barcelona should win the match, they have big confidence to beat each La Liga team after they defeated Real Madrid in the last match. Moreover, they know if they get 3 points in this match, they will overtake Sevilla and rise up to 2nd place. They also will play at their home (Camp Nou), they don't want to make their fans be unsatisfied by having a draw. With a big expectation after Xavi comes and a brilliant performance of Barcelona lately, there is no reason for Barcelona to get a draw or lose, they must win this match and get 3 points. There are always chances, and we must think that Sevilla did not just get to second place in the standings and there are some prerequisites for this  For any viewer, it is clear who is the favorite in this meeting and what stakes are at stake now, but still this is not the final match of the cup tournament and defeat will not be the tragedy that will deprive the loser of his hopes. I don't think that Sevilla will play an attacking style of play in the upcoming match, given where this match will take place and which club the game is going to be played with, and the club knows how to build its defense well, it's not for nothing that Sevilla conceded the least goals in La Liga. Therefore, I do not agree with the thesis that Barcelona must win this match. |

I don't think Napoli need to think about the result of AC Milan or Inter, no matter the result of the two teams, most importantly Napoli have to beat Atalanta if they are really serious about winning the Serie A trophy this season. Moreover, the difference in points between Napoli, Inter and AC Milan is not much different, so there is no other option Napoli have to win all the remaining matches, including against Atalanta. Although Atalanta are not a weak team, but it must be admitted that this season Atalanta has experienced a decline in performance compared to the previous season, no wonder Atalanta are now in 5th position and are in danger of not playing in the Champions League next season. Moreover, Napoli's previous meeting was defeated by Atalanta, so now is the right time for Napoli to avenge the defeat. And I believe Napoli can do that, if indeed they have a high fighting spirit and good strategy.
Napoli really should concentrate on their match and try to win against Atalanta and only then it will be possible to talk about a point gap with Milan. Atalanta is an unpredictable opponent, which for some reason loses its opportunities when it is possible to fight for the highest places in the standings and so it has been many times this season. Napoli is much more careful to treat such chances and that is why Napoli now continues to claim the Scudetto, and Atalanta is only fighting for the opportunity to play in the Europa League next season. But we are talking about a specific match, which in addition is a home match for Atalanta, so the host team should at least have a good chance of a draw. |

Kylian Mbappe already has a lot of money and fame, but he still doesn't have the champions league,
You are right. Mbappe target is UCL trophy, it is the only thing he doesn't own in his career. If he only stays in PSG, it will be difficult for him to get UCL trophy since PSG never showed good progress in UCL competition. This should be the reason for him to move to Real Madrid which is the specialist of UCL title, the club that has the most UCL trophies. Moreover, joining Real Madrid is also his dream since he was a kid. And now, he has a chance to join Real Madrid since Real Madrid needs a CF (central forward) like him. I hope Mbappe won't miss this opportunity. I don't understand why many people here imply that if one club has won the most Champions League titles in its history and has done it several times recently, then it automatically implies that this club will continue to do it at the same pace?! Yes, Real Madrid has won 4 Champions League titles in the last eight years from 2014 to 2018, but at the same time could not have done it before for 12 years from 2002 to 2014. Just mathematically, the chances of winning should already be decreasing. Therefore, it is a little strange when someone begins to cite these wins of the Champions League title as an argument for Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid. |

Against with relegation zone team I think is not easy because they have a lot of motivation how to give best thing for fans and keep extended club exist on primer league next year, they will have working hard although faced with bigger team like Liverpool or Manchester City. Primer league as most competitive match have surprise result always and we can't expectation with Liverpool and Manchester City are easy get 3 points, depending with Manchester City result last week held by Crystal Palace as 12th standing position, I think will have surprise result when match Liverpool vs Watford and Burnley vs Man City.
If a relegating club is seeing a chance to still move up above, so not to get relegated, this kind of potential can make the relegating club to play good and move up higher, but not in this type of match. It is clear that Manchester City and Liverpool are competing too, that will bring out best of Manchester City and Liverpool because both clubs would want to have the league title. The competition from up between those two strong clubs is very strong and you can not compare them both to clubs that are not playing good at all since this season started. Expect both clubs to win. Everything is not so clear. The main problem of the clubs from the bottom of the standings is that they do not have such resources as the leading clubs and cannot hold all the championship matches at a high level, as the leaders do. On the other hand, clubs from the lower part of the standings may well gather and impose a fierce struggle in matches with the leaders, because this is the desire of the players to show themselves in front of the audience, in front of the leadership of these leaders, which can serve a good service in career terms. Therefore, we can say that to some extent one balances the other. Therefore, it is not at all a fact that the leaders will lose points in both matches, but it may well happen in one of these matches. |

Its a shocking result but we have seen some surprises in football were big teams lost to much weaker opponents seems that italian footbal is having a rough time lately despite the euro win who should give them a positive boost they showed poor performance since then. When it comes to Italy we can't really say shocking result as they missed plenty of other big tournaments lately.  They can't participate World Cup two times in a row. Funny thing is they are the last European champion. Actually it should be a wild card for latest winners of continental championship. That way they don't have to play elimination games and that would be a good prize for cup winners. I think that after the increase in the number of teams in the final part of the World Cup, this problem will have to lose its relevance. Because after all, the European Championship and the World Cup are slightly different tournaments that are held by different organizations, such as UEFA and FIFA. Also, let's not forget that if FIFA itself canceled the automatic participation of the previous world champion in the next championship since 2006, then why should FIFA make an exception for the winner of a regional tournament, even the most competitive and prestigious among others? Therefore, emotions are emotions, I myself am sorry that this happened and we will not see Italy in the final part, but the sporting principle also has the right to life and should be guided by it. |

Juventus have little chance of winning the title this season and I think that statement is justified given the instability of their form to win in a match. Juventus lost 5 and drew 8 in 30 matches. 7 points difference from the leaders will make Juventus less ahead in the title race although mathematically everything is still possible for them.
I think Juventus chance of winning Scudetto in this season not on have little chance but also have close opportunity how to get scudetto after missing two years. Left 7 points behind AC Milan and with 8 match later and only Inter Milan as left match against by Juventus, still not any chance for PSG how to stop AC Milan to get scudetto in this season, except have any match left between Juventus vs AC Milan still possibility chance get trophy. AC Milan left match only as potential against with Fiorentina and Atalanta but I don't see both club can stop winning record achieve by AC Milan have on consistent performance, I have choose as AC Milan bigger chance as the winning Serie A in this season than chance Napoli or Inter Milan. Of course, the entire leading four of the championship, including Juventus, have chances, given the instability of all the leaders who constantly have failures in replenishing point stocks. Another question is the number of these chances, at this point in time Milan is some favorite in this regard. But if Milan loses points in the next match, and the competitors, on the contrary, gain, as the talk about the contenders for the Scudetto will be revived again with renewed vigor. At least, we have already seen this many times during the championship. Juventus also has much less right to make mistakes than the competitors, you just have to try not to think about it and win all the upcoming matches. |

I'm sure Sevilla will lose second place in the table after the next few matches. Sevilla will probably lose second place in the table after losing to Barcelona in their next match. It will be really difficult for them to stay in the top four of the table in the form they are in at the moment. But maybe Sevilla will be fourth in the table. In third place, we might see Atletico Madrid.
The result will exactly depend on the match between Sevilla and Barcelona. If they are lost again, it is sure that their position will be taken over by Barcelona. And if we see the previous or current performance, Barcelona exactly has a higher chance to win the match vs Sevilla. Sevilla played very bad currently, they are lack motivation and their performance keeps decreasing. Now, Sevilla's position is overshadowed by Barcelona and also Atletico Madrid. It seems that Sevilla is not safe enough in the position right now. I remember how at the beginning of the season, Sevilla seemed to be very good laying but their performances once more keep decreasing even facing the small clubs That's just the match with Barcelona with its direct competitor in the fight for second place should be a great reason for motivation for Sevilla Another question is that even in case of success in the match with Barcelona or a draw result, I am not sure that Sevilla will be able to keep its second place under the onslaught of wolves like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, starved of success, striving to climb as high as possible up the steps of the standings. Although a victory over such an opponent as Barcelona may well shake up the team in a positive way, strengthening confidence in their abilities and allowing them to successfully spend the rest of the season. |

Indeed, from these three matches, the easiest match is the AC Milan vs Bologna match, their difference looks far from the statistics, so AC Milan will come out with 3 points. Atalanta vs Napoli, it will be a tight match, and I think a draw is a good result for both teams. As for Juventus vs Inter Milan, it will be quite a difficult match for Inter Milan because their performance is declining now. So I hold on to the Juventus win.
Inter may well shake up for the match with Juventus, despite all the current losses of points, because the match is a status match and Juventus itself is a great irritant. Therefore, I would still not be in a hurry to say that Juventus will definitely win. Moreover, the teams are neighbors in the standings and no one wants to let a competitor go ahead, so at least Inter will try to at least draw to maintain its status quo with Juventus. Atalanta and Napoli are also a match of rivals of a comparable class, where everything can be decided by a single moment. Therefore, I agree that against this background, Bologna is a simpler rival for Milan in order to achieve a victorious result. |

~Snip~
Yep. He played convincingly and continues to improve his performance after he is back from injury. IMO, this is the sign that he still wants to be a part of Barcelona squad, he has the intention to stay. If he doesn't want to stay, he should play as he wants, which means not really care to improve his performance. But what he did, is the opposite. According to this sign, I am pretty sure he wants to negotiate for an extension of his contract in Barcelona. If he thinks Barcelona management offers a decent salary, he surely prefers to stay. It seems that two weeks ago there was information at the level of rumors that Dembele had already agreed on the terms of a personal contract with Paris Saint Germain. Moreover, the attempt of this transfer was already in the winter and failed at the very last moment due to the fact that Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain could not agree, and now it does not legally depend on Barcelona and the player will become a free agent in the summer and can safely move already. Therefore, I still think that a move to Paris is the most likely option, despite the fact that Barcelona would certainly like to keep the player and a good contact of the player with Xavi, but still a preliminary agreement is likely to be more important. |

I agree that Liverpool are a little bit better than Manchester city at the moment because Liverpool have been very consistent this season in both home and away matches.
It cannot be a strong reason to favor Liverpool in this match. I assume both Liverpool and Man City have the same chance to win because they almost have the same players' quality. Both teams also have outstanding coaches who can make brilliant strategies during the match. Which team wins in this match will be determined by their preparation and mentality. If there are key players injured, it is also to have a significant impact on the match. It's one thing when it comes to a series of matches and quite another thing when it comes specifically to one next match and anything can happen, for which we love football. Yes, Manchester City has not been as impressive lately as it was quite recently and allowed Liverpool to get close to itself at a minimum distance, but all this does not negate the factor of the match itself, where the opponents meet face to face and there are completely different emotions and layouts. I think Guardiola is an experienced coach enough to find the right methods and words for his players to lead the team out of a relative crisis, at least before he did it well. |

Many people must be very upset with Italy's defeat, because who would have thought that North Macedonia could beat Italy. In fact I bet quite a lot of money on Italy's victory, because Italy should have won the game easily. It turned out that there was a big surprise that Italy had to lose to North Macedonia, with this result making Italy absent from the 2022 world cup. This is what's interesting about football, there are always surprises that are sometimes beyond the expectations of many people, although I'm quite annoyed that I lost quite a lot by betting on Italy's win. But I admit that Italy was unlucky, if we look at the match statistics it is very clear, Italy controlled the match even releasing up to 32 kicks, but unfortunately none of them became a goal. This Italian defeat should be a lesson for Portugal, who managed to defeat Turkey by convincing,
Portugal must not underestimate North Macedonia in the next match.
Italy is to blame for the current situation, which ultimately led to a catastrophe. It was not necessary to bring a situation where the result of the confrontation depends on a single match and just had to solve their task of reaching the World Cup in a group tournament. Moreover, North Macedonia scored its winning goal already in added time, when Italy had practically no time to have time to recoup. The fact that the reigning European champion could not get into the final part of the World Cup looks quite curious and made this task much easier for Cristiano Ronaldo and company. Moreover, the match was held in Italy in front of crowded home stands. |

After watching elcasico result last night optimist Barcelona have bigger chance for the winner on UEFA Europe League and they have impressive performance when defeating Real Madrid 4-0. I think 1st leg against with Frankfurt looks as easy match for Barcelona close step to semi final but still waiting two or three weeks later for 1st and 2nd leg with held by FIFA match days. Everything have change with Barcelona gameplay right now after latest window transfer and success get superior central forward with Ferran Torres and Aubameyang as potential player for Barcelona.
Barcelona is now surely again a team which is fear for opponents with last night win against Real Madrid they announce all planes for future so no doubt now they are hot favourite for this Europa Cup and will also stay at second spot in La Liga behind Real Madrid which is also not bad for them, but one trophy is must for them in this season because they bounce back in very strong way. Frankfurt is not easy opponent but still Barcelona is now far ahead of these all teams remaining in Europa Cup just Atlanta is having some ability to challenge, but this could be not easy for them to have stopped Barcelona from going through with this all. West Ham were also in good shape, but recently they are in some trouble which is bringing down their performance, but still a good team for any strong opponent. Before the first match with Galatasaray, many people also said that this match would be an easy walk for the Catalan club, but we all saw perfectly well what really happened and how this match really ended Barcelona is undoubtedly the favorite in a pair with Frankfurt, and it seems that the superbly won Eli classico with Real Madrid only confirms this, but still let's not forget about the features of such a cup tournament as the Europa League, where everything can be decided not in favor of the favorite as a result of a single match. I wouldn't be surprised if Eintracht puts much more effort into the match against Barcelona than Real Madrid did, which has a very solid advantage in the standings. |

This is going to be a fun season. Mercedes seems to be behind the times, they didn't stand a chance last weekend. Every course is different of course. Red Bull had some technical problems with Verstappen's engine, but that seems to be bad luck and not something structural. I suspect it will be between LeClerc and Verstappen this year, for Hamilton it will be very difficult to make something of it. Hamilton's podium finish was also pure luck as Verstappen and Perez both retired due to bad luck.
There is some difference between bad luck and technical malfunctions in such technical types as F1, although of course at times it is almost equivalent You can be a very cool racer, but you can leave the race because of problems with the engine or fuel pump and it is still unknown what this is a design flaw, a staff flaw or really elementary bad luck, which is very difficult to reproduce in another situation. I think Mercedes will still show its real strength during the season, after all, the experience of racing engineers has not gone away, but there have just been some changes in the design of the car. |

Chelsea is a team that should not be underestimated. They recently won the Champions League, and in that season they were definitely not favorites to win the tournament. What they showed in the tournament then was very convincing. Didn't they easily win at Real Madrid with 0-1 or 0-2? That should have been 0-4 then. And in London 0-0 I seem to remember. Real didn't stand a chance against this roughly comparable team in those 2 games.
Now things are different at every club including the coach too, like the current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti who has a lot of experience in drafting players for the Champions League and that has been proven in the past before Zidane became Real Madrid coach last season. So obviously there will be a difference for this season at Real Madrid even though what Real Madrid are up against is last season's trophy winners. Experience is an important factor now because indeed with experience here at least they can understand better what to do but on the other hand talking about coaching of course Tuchel also knows how this will be dealt with. He is one of the best coaches right now in my opinion and his experience at UCL cannot even be underestimated. Last season, Chelsea was unseeded to win the title and it is possible that the opportunity is still there now, although I would prefer Madrid to continue to progress. As for Chelsea's result in the Champions League, something concrete can be said only after the end of the season, if, of course, Chelsea can stay in the Champions League until the very end of the season For me personally, both teams, Chelsea and Real Madrid, for various reasons, are teams of riddles this season and I do not fully imagine what stage of the tournament they can reach. On the one hand, these teams have great potential even to win the tournament, but on the other hand, teams like Liverpool or Manchester City have even more potential for me personally and I would prefer these teams. |

After the final results of last week, Barcelona have got much closer to Sevilla in the standings now. The point difference between them is only three points even though Barcelona still haven't played their missing game. And this gives the signals of Barcelona to get past them in the standings sooner or later. There is no way Sevilla are keeping their position against a this much perfect Barcelona in the remaining time period of the season. By the way, these two teams are going to face each other next time in the league in Camp Nou too. It's going to be really interesting.  Yes it's possible that Barcelona can take 2nd place but that doesn't mean anything nothing special between 2nd and 3rd place both of them get UCL tickets If only to bet yes that's ok Barcelona is definitely favourite they are confident about the last win And it must be remembered that Barcelona still has matches in the European league, if the coach applies the wrong strategy then it is risky for the players injuries can come at any time. I agree that everything is possible in football and Barcelona will be able to win second place and beat Sevilla. The only thing that needs to be made is a serious assumption that the team will also play until the end of the season itself without losing points, which is not the most obvious fact, and the example of Inter in Italy, which allows itself to make serious slips lately, should make it serious about it. I am very cautious about such winless series, and Barcelona, taking into account this victory, extended the series to 12 matches, where 9 wins and 3 draws, because all series tend to end sometime. |

Manchester United really need to be aware of the worrying situation they are in right now. Otherwise, they are not achieving anything this season. And this would result in the loss of some crucial players for them. For example, I don't think that Ronaldo and Pogba would stay anymore if they don't even qualify for the Champions League despite having a solid lineup like this. Manchester United's lineup is one of the bests in the league actually. But they still can't do a good job most of the time. Arsenal and Tottenham are already ahead of them so Manchester United need to have a lasting winning streak immediately.
Pogba might leave but not Ronaldo at least he has to give one title to Man united before moving or retiring this is his dream as a tribute to Man united For the 4th and 5th place really can't be predicted Arsenal, Tottenham and Man united still have the same chance because the difference in points is not too far You know the EPL is the tightest league and full of surprises anything is still possible as long the season isn't over. I think Pogba will leave Manchester United anyway and the point of no return has been passed for a long time, both by the player himself and the club's management. As for Ronaldo, everything is more complicated, I don't think Cristiano believes that he should make the club a title, because even despite the status of the player and his talents, if the team is below a certain level, then the skill of the player may not be enough to win titles. Therefore, most likely Ronaldo will look at who will come to the club in the summer as head coach, what transfer changes will be and then make a decision about the future in the club. |

Interesting matches happened yesterday... In Spain, Barcelona destroyed Real Madrid away... Monaco left no chance for PSG at home... The leaders of the standings unexpectedly lost by a big score!  It's moments like this that make me think of manipulated games... But it's probably just coincidences! But still, such a big defeat for PSG from Monaco hasn't happened for a long time... These two games were a shock even if the score will not have an impact on the standings since both real madrid and psg are on a comfortable situation on top of the table but such games need to be competitive a 4 0 score like yesterday's will make the game boring i think psg and real madrid players are to blame since they are taking it easy because of the comfort. It's not that Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are overly relaxed because of the comfortable situation in the table, but rather that they cannot always extract from themselves all the forces that their competitors can extract from themselves. I don't think Real Madrid and especially Paris Saint-Germain will miss out on their titles, which is exactly what would happen if these clubs really relaxed too much. By the way, such inability to pull super-strength at the right moment is one of the main reasons for failures in the Champions League, which are repeated with regular frequency. |

I really am sad for Inter on the recent weeks. They have got really bad results against much weaker competitors too and its happening very often changed things a lot for Inter. They are six points away from Milan now for example. They have an absent match and they can drop the gap to three points of course. But their recent performance doesn't seem to be promising for the future. They can certainly be left behind by Juventus soon too. Because Juventus have had a really impressive effort for weeks and this is helping them a lot to keep up with the three teams on the front.
If you look at the point table you will see Inter has only one win in their last five matches. And that is us looking not acceptable from them especially when they are fighting for the League Title, right? Actually, they are just making it hard for themselves. They are already behind by quite a few points in the race for the League title but if they can get three points out of the match that they have in hand they are going to have a very decent chance I think. The problem is the opponent is Juventus and also play away somehow Inter can get the points even i doubt they can get 1 point Juventus will fight to win If we see an opportunity for the title Milan are very close because in the remaining games their opponents are easier than Napoli, based on schedule Napoli have to fight several teams in the top 5-8 of course it's not a good situation. Inter fans generally need to be happy that the team continues to fight for the title this season, despite all the problems that have arisen with the club in the off-season. Therefore, the fans of the club need to thank Simone Inzaghi, who came to the club to the ambassador of Antonio Conte's departure and continued to put the team in the fight for the title, despite the deteriorating working conditions at the club. Another question is that all this has already been unnecessarily delayed and such problems can really lead to the fact that Juventus, which did not start the season so brightly, can get ahead of Inter in the fight for third place. |

True , despite it's not something that impossible .. cristiano would put his loyalty above all before making any decision especially moving straight to another side of manchester .. that would be broke his years of loyalty to manchester united. It's just a dream for evveryone though , to see cristiano and messi play together and it's under pep guardiola! Manchester city are the one who can realized it.
When we talk about the potential betrayal of Manchester United by Ronaldo, we should not forget that there are not so many options for moving to another club, and Ronaldo's age is by no means young. Therefore, I understand the disappointment of Manchester United fans about this, but still the current MU is not the club that allows you to reveal the best qualities of Cristiano as a football player and Manchester City is clearly better suited in this regard. Also knowing what Ronaldo's ambitions are, I am not sure that the player will want to stay at Manchester United if the team fails to qualify for the Champions League next season. |

The reality is that PSG can't beat Monaco. anyone who bet on PSG today must be very frustrated, a dream team filled with the best and most expensive players were massacred 3 - 0 by a mid-table team like monaco. nothing is crazier and more frustrating than PSG's poor performance today.
PSG players have tried to score goals in this match, Statistics show PSG players made 13 shots, six of which were on target. But luck has not been on PSG side, because the Monaco goalkeeper (Alexander Nuebel) looks impressive under the crossbar. PSG a humiliating defeat to Monaco was a hard slap for Mauricio Pochettino, because previously PSG was also humiliated by Real Madrid (3-1) at the Santiago Bernabeu. Pochettino couldn't afford the trust put in by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, It looks like Pochettino future with PSG will soon come to an end, for not being able to deliver the Champions League trophy that the PSG public has been waiting for. I think Mauricio Pochettino's future at Paris Saint-Germain was in big question much earlier than this accident happened in the Champions League match with Real Madrid. The mere fact that Pochettino did not move his family to Paris, who remained in England and lives in a hotel all the time himself, should already lead to certain reflections. It's not just about the desire of the club owner to extend their cooperation, but also from the side of the head coach himself, who does not feel comfortable in the club. Therefore, I think that at the end of the season PSG is waiting for a major restructuring and the loss of Monaco now will not be a decisive factor, especially considering the gap PSG has in the standings from other competitors. |
