Talking about the team that is now at the top of the standings without defeat, Napoli. Their journey to reach this point was a very long struggle for Napoli. I look at the previous season where Napoli has always provided fierce competition for the top. They can almost always snatch a ticket to go to the Champions League, or the Europa League at least. This was a very big opportunity for them to reach a point where they would become champions. They will be under a lot of pressure up front, so I hope they have prepared for that.
Napoli must play consistently full to win the Italian league this season, at least they don't lose points in the face of a great club that will meet them at the beginning of the year, now it's half of the season and of course there are still a few matches that Napoli have to live Napoli still has a long way to go to be at a comfortable point. They still have to face big teams, AC MIlan, Inter Milan, Juventus and several other strong teams will still meet in the second half of this season. Other teams will also realize that the team that must be defeated first is Napoli so that teams in the second caste and so on have more chances to win the Scudetto title this season. However, the problem of players who are reported to have left will be a loss for them, hopefully it will not interfere with their overall appearance. |

PSG vs Strasbourg is playing tomorrow. After the break of the world cup in 2022, Mbappe, Neymar, Hakimi, and Messi come back to be friends again together fight in the club. Maybe they have still a bit stiff after be against each other, but we know they are professional which care more than club. So, Vs Strasbourg, I believe they can not have problem to win at least 2 goals, because when we look how hard Strasbourg fight on degradation zone, PSG squad will not difficult to win again in a row while Strasbourg will have problem on official.
This is a competition that requires them to cooperate with each other, unlike before in the World Cup where they had to beat each other to win the title. Certainly this match looks like it will be very easy for Paris Saint Germain, I even see that in this match they will win with a fairly crushing score. It's not an exaggeration to say that because the difference between the two teams is very clear. |

schalke has had a bad record since this season started, of the 15 matches they have played, 10 of them were defeats,, By only managing to collect 9 points so far, I see it will be difficult for Schalke to escape from the relegation zone. the bundesliga will restart on January 21, 2023 and schalke's first opponent will be frankfurt, I doubt schalke will be able to win in this match, their chances are very small.
I agree they do not stand a chance because of their terrible they have now. Frankfurt coming out form a very productive season which was last season and they have successfully carried that form to this season, therefore, I think that Schalke stands no chance against them because they are currently struggling in the relegation zone due to bad form and poor management. They are training hard to stay in the Bundesliga, this is a very difficult season for them, besides that it will be a long season for Schalke if they don't improve. They have to make a big breakthrough regarding the management, coaches, to the players who are currently in the squad. Before that they must first get out of the relegation zone, because then maybe their morale will increase again to continue this season's competition. |

Betis and Athletic Bilbao have almost the same odds for the win.
But it is totally normal of course. Because these teams are very close to each other in the standings. They have very similar statistics expect the number of goals scored. Athletic Bilbao have been more productive about that so far. But I think they will have big difficulties in this game as for scoring multiple goals. I'm expecting a more controlled game from both sides. My expectation is a draw with goals like 1-1 as well. I don't expect Betis to lose here by benefiting from home stadium advantage.
They only differ in terms of productivity, this game will be interesting because the two teams have almost a lot in common. Real Betis may be more favored because in this match they will act as hosts, but Atletico Bilbao is not coming to be a loser. It is very difficult to determine who will win the match. I'll try to bet on a draw in this game, that's a pretty good chance seeing how both teams are doing so far. |

Talking about Joao Felix, there are several clubs associated with him besides Chelsea, there are PSG, Arsenal and Manchester United. For a market value of 50 million euros, this price is actually quite good for the teams that are interested in him. But after Man United lost their main target Cody Gakpo, this time they have to get Joao Felix in the transfer market and this will be competition with Chelsea at the same time.
I feel that Manchester United has the edge of signing Joao Felix over every other team due to the connection of Portuguese to Manchester United. Also Jorge Mendes who is the agent of C. Ronaldo and Joao Felix who has a good relationship with Manchester United is trying to push him to the club to compensate for the horrible behaviour of C. Ronaldo. In addition, I think that one of his aims is to strengthen his relationship with Manchester United. I also feel that way, the connection between Joao Felix is closer to Manchester United, so that will make it easier for Manchester United to persuade him to join them. Especially at Atletico Madrid, he didn't get a big chance, this could be an opportunity for Felix to show that he deserves to get enough minutes to play. Chelsea is a new competitor who will fight for Felix, by joining them there will be 3 big Premier League teams that will compete to get him. |

I watched Liverpool's performance yesterday against Aston Villa. Their performance is now much more organized than before. Liverpool played very well against Aston Villa. If they can put up such a performance against Real Madrid, it will be very difficult for Madrid to beat Liverpool. Without Benzema, Madrid's attack is not strong enough. I don't think it's possible to beat Liverpool with a weak attack.
Real Madrid is very different from other teams, even though they are players capable of destroying Liverpool's defense, they still have the mentality of being champions. That's the one thing most feared by the teams that will face Real Madrid. Maybe we'll see Real Madrid lose when they play at Anfield, but when the second leg, maybe we'll see the opposite result. In essence, whatever happens in the first leg later, believe me, Real Madrid can turn the result around. It's true, Real Madrid have a mentality that no other team has, I see now they are the best team in terms of mentality. And also I agree, even if Real Madrid loses their first leg match, they are a team that can turn things around very well, no matter how little time is left, they can make the most of it. Not only have I seen this once or twice, in fact most of their matches last season in the Champions League were done the same way. |

There is nothing the Barcelona management can do because Xavi is currently under contract to coach Barcelona until June 2024. Meanwhile, if Barcelona wants to replace him immediately, it will have to spend a lot of money on severance pay for Xavi, further deteriorating the club's financial situation. At least Xavi still has time to make changes and try to get lucky with his achievements to bring Barcelona back to being the best again in the field of football.
I also agree with what you said, because replacing Xavi with another coach in the middle of the season like now will not be very good for the Barcelona team, so the Barcelona team itself must keep Xavi at least according to the time of Xavi's contract, and after that the team management Barcelona can see and assess how Xavi and the team have performed while training Barcelona. After all, this season Barcelona is also not looking bad in La Liga, so there is no story to replace him in the middle of the season. After all, what is the reason for changing coaches in the middle of a season like this, even though they haven't really returned to the Barcelona we used to know, slowly I can say that Xavi Hernandez has been quite successful in bringing Barcelona to improve from their downturn last season. And also whether replacing it will give the expected performance? I think there is no guarantee for that. So keeping Xavi is a good move for now. |

After Haaland's move from Dortmund, their team has had some problems in attack. For which they are not performing very well. The team needs to add a good attacking player at this point.
And Dortmund is not seeing this to be problem , they sell key players and never think if it will affect the performance of the teams. Dortmund only cares about the money they will make in selling their players. Dortmund has found a new striker as a replacement for haaland who has been going to the manchester city but another problem is coming just like dortmund wanna tries to sell more players like bellingham nad moukoko. Both were also very important for dortmund. Dortmund will be losing its power once both will be going out again from the club in january. i didn't expect dortmund to be a strong candidate to win the title for now. The main motive by dortmund was business by making money from developing and then selling players to the another club. Players who are always released by Borussia Dortmund are indeed players that the team really needs. They don't seem to think anything bad will happen to them if they do things like this continuously, or maybe they are confident that they will get players who have or exceed the quality they are selling. Confidence really has to be in the team, but I think their self-confidence is very exaggerated. |

If Mbappe wants to be compared to Messi or Ronaldo, he has to leave PSG. The league is too weak and league titles there are meaningless.
He wants to go to Madrid, but I feel that the Messi/Ronaldo kind of rivalry will happen between him and Haaland. I hope we see them in the same league soon (preferably Premiership).
The thing with Ronaldo and Messi is also that they lasted 15+ years on an elite, record-breaking levels.
Mbappe and Haaland have just started, they have to play at the same level they are playing now throughout their whole careers to be able to compare to either one of them.
Even though he went to the Premier League, it doesn't mean that Mbappe can be compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Indeed he has very good abilities, but the question is can he continue to be in good consistency and last -+15 years as you say? That is a question that will be answered until Mbappe is playing at the same level after 15 years. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it would be very difficult to do. |

It looks like Barcelona must bury its desire to bring Messi back to La Liga, Liputan6.com reports that Messi has reached an agreement with PSG for a contract extension, this agreement will make Messi stay at PSG until 2024. The news that Messi wants to stay at PSG has disappointed Messi fans in Barcelona. They really want to see Messi return to playing for Barcelona after successfully bringing Argentina to win the World Cup. Actually from the start I was pretty sure that Lionel Messi would prefer to stay and play for Paris Saint Germain rather than return to Barcelona. It seems we already know the reason, yes one of the reasons is that barcelona's finances have not been stable so far, so I doubt Barcelona will be able to bring their star back. Even if they could, it would be a huge drain on their finances. What's more, don't get your hopes up on just one player, moreover, soon Messi will also stop because of his age. |

After experiencing a bad period at the start of the season, Juventus have now been able to get back on the right track. Allegri, who was rumored to be sacked for failing to improve the team's performance, has also been able to answer the doubts of many parties. I think the Bianconeri will be very difficult to stop if they find their rhythm. Cremonese is clearly not a match for the Old Lady, the three points will go to Allegri's men. The most awaited match is when Juventus face Napoli, this match can be proof for Juventus to destroy Napoli's smooth path and raise hope to win the Scudetto.
Juventus' performance is very stable now. They are consistently playing well. But their squad is still not strong enough. There are still many weaknesses in their performance. The performance of their attacking players is not good. If the attack is strong, maybe Juventus' performance will be stronger. Juventus management must try to get an experienced striker in the next winter transfer. One more thing, Juventus players must not think about the problems they are facing now. Because if they do, maybe they will lose focus and their performance will drop again like at the start of the season. Their first game is an opportunity for them to get back to 3 points considering that their opponent is not a team that can be said to be tough. It would be very disappointing if they failed to get full points in this game. |

it seems that the match between Liverpool vs Aston villa is a little difficult to predict. although in the end I would bet on Liverpool. But somehow I felt a little doubt. However, I predict that Emiliano Martinez will most likely not be played by the coach. and that will be the weakness of Aston Villa. and from the many Aston villa vs Liverpool meetings. Liverpool have won more matches. even in the last 4 meetings liverpool always wins.
Your doubts are very basic, I think your doubts arose because you saw Liverpool's performance before this World Cup break which looked messy. Of course this match will be the first step for them, whether Liverpool are better or not. But if you look at their performance when they were beaten by Manchester City in the EFL, I see that there has been an improvement in their game. Although still have to be convinced with their performance in this match. |

Manchester United vs Fc Barcelona match has been discussed much more than every other Europa league match. Maybe that is because the two clubs are anticipated by many, to be the champions of the Europa league title. But let me put it to u that neither Manchester United nor FC Barcelona may end up pushing through the final stage of this competition. Let us not forget that the likes of Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax, union Berlin and PSV are salso hunting vigorously for this same title. Most of these clubs with little or no up of being champions in their lower league.The table is not revolving around Man united and Barcelona only.
This season the Europa League is difficult to predict because there are many great teams in it. Some of the teams you mentioned are teams that are not weak in their respective local leagues, so there are many possibilities that could happen in the Europa League this season even though the ones that are most often discussed are Manchester United and Fc Barcelona. But they both could have been knocked out by some of the teams you name in the Europa League this season. Yes, it is not something that is impossible, in fact many teams have lost against teams that are not more favored than them in the Europa League this season. Let's say Barcelona lost to Frabkfurt last season. Even though they were recently no better than this season, it provides an opportunity that a team that is considered weak can shock the match by beating the team that is more favored. |

He will be leaving with a very cheap price despite his good performance in the world cup. Juventus has been urgently trying to sell him rather than let him go with the free transfer. I didn't know why juventus didn't wanna try to offer him a new contract. Arsenal is very interesting with him. Rabiot may become a good defender once he will be joining in arsenal. that's a very cheap price for a good defender that has brought france into the final. Juventus are unlikely to be able to meet his hefty wage demands. And Veronique (Adrien Rabiot's mum), his agent, is already touting him to Europe's top clubs. Arsenal and Tottenham are ready to try and want to sign Rabiot immediately. But The question remains, which club will accept his seemingly astronomical wage demands? According to the news I heard, it's not that Juventus don't want to extend the contract of their player, Rabbiot. But they will extend with a pay cut. While Rabbiot himself demanded a raise or at least he still gets the same salary as the previous contract. Juventus certainly did not want to take the risk of releasing their players on a free transfer because they were unable to grant the Rabbiot's request. So they will sell it and make a profit. |

If Real Madrid sign Mbappe into the team by mistake, it will make Real Madrid performance to reduce like the way Manchester united performance reduced this season because, of the striker they brought in to improve the team. Since, Real Madrid has achieve so much titles without Mbappe, I guess they need to finish this season to see if they need someone like Mbappe to assist the team to achieve what they want in this UEFA champions league competition.
I think that you shall aware about how good the current performance from real madrid but the only thing that becomes the main concern by the team was striker since benzema must absence due to the injury. That's why real madrid is always being linked with mbappe caused by mbappe was a potential striker for madrid. Mbappe's position was winger but he was also able to play as a striker too. Mbappe will be boosting the performance from real madrid. That's why madrid tried to consider him as a good player that might be bought even with bunch of money and it's still worthy to get him into the real madrid. Yes, that's right, the only problem that is so visible in Real Madrid's body now is that they lack a striker who can be relied on to replace a Benzema who has been sidelined due to injury. It is predicted that Mbappe will be able to give color to Real Madrid's game, but with how difficult it was for them to sign Mbappe, I don't think we will see Mbappe in Real Madrid's uniform in the near future. They must look for quality players for the vacant positions up front, apart from Mbappe. |

Although Mbappe is scoring more goals than Messi in the World Cup, he cannot even come close to Messi's style of play. Because Messi has single-handedly led the entire Argentina team forward. Lionel Messi's feat in winning the World Cup is one football fans will never forget.
I don't think it's worth comparing Mbappe to Messi in that regard. Because Messi is a great player who is full of experience and achievements in the past, has gone further ahead than Mbappe who is still young with not so many achievements. So this is an inadequate comparison in my opinion although it is still possible for others to make comparisons. Yes that's right, it's useless to also make comparisons between players. every player has a different character and even if you have to compare then all players will definitely have a comparison, whether it's from how to play, achievements or something else. Messi and Mbappe are very good players in their own right, both are among the best players ever. |

Freiburg has constantly developed over the last 10 years. They have received many offers and have managed that many good players have not left. Christian Streich has been coach since 2011. He has managed to implement a philosophy at the club that involves everyone.
I am confident that Freiburg will continue to develop better and better in the future and that they will be among the top 5.
what this small club achieves every year is simply fantastic for me. whether it was now with coach Christian Streich or earlier with Volker Finke . it is an insanity what this club achieves year after year. since 1991 only 4 coaches have been employed there. so many coaches are used by some bundesliga clubs in one season. and on top of that a good management . it all fits together well and that is why this success comes every year. i am simply always happy when Freiburg wins. they have earned it. The key is that they entrust everything to the coach, and the coach also gives good feedback after the full trust they have from the team. In fact, all teams can do the same thing, but what makes the difference is pressure from outside, such as fans or others, which forces them to immediately change coaches if the coach doesn't give what is expected. Patience from management will also be very important, because we cannot see the instant process carried out by a coach. |

Juventus have Cremonese and Udinese games before facing their biggest opponent in the league which is Napoli. I think they can win both of the first two games and maintain their existing winning streak in the league. They will need these wins to stay stronger against Napoli in Turin. Despite its being a home game for Juventus their job is still very difficult there.
First match after international break should be utilized by Juventus to earn 3 points from their opponent and Cremonese is weak team and this team still struggle to gets their first winning on Serie A so they are not hard to beated especially Cremonese defense is so weak and my prediction is Juventus will more likely to win with big scores from this match however i can see positive condition on Juventus that since October they gets many of winning streaks even on friendly matches Juventus can able to beat their opponents with unbeatable status so they performance can be threaten Napoli for race title Cremonese is not a strong opponent for Juventus if we look at the overall statistics, so they should have an easy win in this clash. Yes, let's be realistic, who would predict that Cremonese will get points against Juventus, unless they have a lot of luck in this match. Even so, Juventus must remain careful, because this will be one of the opportunities for them to keep their distance from the team that is above them at the moment. |

There's no need to bring two of them to the real madrid. Mbappe can also play as striker. He was very effective for real madrid and im sure about this. I think that mbappe will be more suitable for real madrid rather than buying haaland. Haaland was pure striker like benzema but real madrid needs mbappe as a winger but he can also play like striker. Multiple role was also very good for madrid. I think that madrid tried to consider this as the main consideration to buy him from PSG.
There are lots of rumour about mbappe wanna leave from PSG and madrid can use such situation to take the advantage and bring him to the santiago bernabeu
I think Mbappe is indeed suitable to come to Real Madrid, we know that his performance now reminds him of CR7 when he was young, he (Mbappe) is very fast, dribbles accurately, and has high attacking aggression. Especially if he is paired with Vini Jr and Valverde on the front lines, it will make Real Madrid's attacks so feared by their opponents. But will it materialize in the near future? I do not think so. Rumors about Mbappe's move to the Real Madrid squad in my opinion will be a rumor that will not be realized now (don't know for the future). We also know that Karen Paris Saint Germain gave her best to still have a Mbappe. I don't know how much money Real Madrid will spend to bring Mbabbap to the Santiago Bernabeu now. |
