It looks like it is determined that Guirassy will not be able to play against Dortmund. This is really bad news for Stuttgart of course. Because they are relying on his finishing skills quite much. Without him they haven't been able to get good results so far. I don't think this will change against Dortmund as well. They would probably have serious issues with scoring easily.

Dortmund should be able to make use of their situation. They got a bad result against Bayern Munich maybe but we still saw really good against Newcastle in the Champions League. I expect them to win here again.

Arsenal played really bad against Newcastle on the previous game week. It caused them to lose the game as well. They already had some games in which they played really badly even though they won those ones. However I believe we will see some progress this week. They should be able to win against Burnley home comfortably.

I saw them really solid against Sevilla last night by the way. They completely dominated the game in Emirates and won by 2-0 easily. This should be a good sign for their future games in the Premier League as well. The interesting thing is the recent games between Arsenal and Burnley ended up with close scores. Maybe this would be the one things change. 

It sounds impossible to happen. I meant that if the fact al hilal can't be beaten by the club which is placing above taawoun. Al hilal is having all of its main players ready to face taawoun. I expect the club to win at least two goals against al taawoun. Al hilal's odds is very disappointed but considering that al hilal is the strongest team in the saudi pro league and i must say that if that may become an easy win.
I see no problem is facing al hilal. Mitrovic and savic will be ready to face taawoun. Im sure mitrovic will able to destroy taawoun soon.
It's just the matter of time until that will be going to happen. Nassr may struggle to play without ronaldo. Even though al nassr was winning the last game but it doesn't mean the club can perform better than previous game.

But leading the table after 12 games is a whole lot different from leading the table after 5 games. But don't get me wrong, I agree that this is very early to conclude anything about their chances to finish the season at the top or among the best La Liga teams, but the consistency they have maintained over almost a third of the season has been remarkable. They enjoy the game and score so many goals. It is great attacking football.

But I am looking forward to December 10th when they play against Barcelona at home and then beginning of January they play against Atletico Madrid also at home. If they then still lead the table and don't lose these games, I think we can welcome a new contender for the La Liga title.  

Mbappe is really at a very big point of his career. Here any decision will be the turning point around his career with Real Madrid slowly losing interest in the French forward, I think he’s gonna be so quick to chose another destination so that he can continue to flourish, but sincerely I think Real Madrid might still come for him owing to the fact that the lack of a striker is what’s the missing piece in their formidable team.

 With Chelsea and Liverpool watching from the sides, I think Mbappe’s priority will be UCL football and with Chelsea’s current form, I think that might not be a good destination for this star man, Real Madrid has everything he needs but does he have what Real Madrid needs? Surprises are bound to spring up in the last minutes owing to the fact that Mbappe’s transfer will be the big news of the summer and his new club will be on the spotlight next season,Let’s see how things unfold.

Al-Ahli failed to maintain its lead after being held to a draw by host Damac with the same score of 2-2. I thought this would be a landslide victory for Al-Ahli because they were ahead in the first half with 2 goals. But it seems that as the host, Damac didn't want to give up and didn't want to accept the result until in the end they managed to equalize in the 73rd minute and also in the 90+1 minute. Al-Ahli would have almost gotten 3 points if Damac had not scored a goal in the minute of injury time and with this result Al-Ahli failed to match the points tally with Al-Nassr in the standings.

Sigh, yes, but 4/1 odds on Kopenhagn didn't attract me enough for betting, unfortunately. The smart bet now would be an acca on them to win their next two games vs Galatasaray and Bayern, but no markets yet for the latter game so I will do this manually

I actually think TH is good, but I've said before the real problem is to undo the culture of "it's ok to be average" at the club. Rashford had his manager backing him throughout his horrid start but then he goes clubbing after losing the derby? I think he doesn't have the full team backing, which is a shame.

Yes, Ten Hag is not only guilty of Manchester United's failure but also their players don't really have the abilities that Ten Hag wants to use the strategies and tactics that Ten Hag has given. It seems that Manchester United is not yet fully ready to play in the UCL so they still seem to be need time to learn again so that in the next season when they play in the UCL, they can perform better than this season.

There is no hope of being successful in the UCL, Manchester United should be able to focus more now on the EPL because of course they can start by slowly improving what is lacking in order to complete the style of play that Ten Hag wants, even so Ten Hag is also responsible for Manchester's failure United and he has to fix it or he chooses to resign or be fired.

Where does that leave Fury and Usyk? If over time Fury had worked out how to defeat Wilder how does that affect the Fury vs Usyk possible fight? In my opinion if this Fury/Usyk drama was to continue the best thing that can happen in order to add pressure on both Fury and Usyk, is for Joshua to fight Wilder. That would really add a new dimension to the heavyweight division.

So far, every team in Group F  has a chance of qualifying  for the Round of 16. Newcastle are now just 2 points behind PSG. And Dortmund are 3 points behind. If Newcastle  win their next match against PSG, the scenario will change completely. Newcastle  may be able to move  to the second place in the points table. And if they beat Milan in the last match, Newcastle can strengthen the second place in the table. It is still impossible to predict which two teams from Group F will play in the Round of 16.

Harry will obviously scoring against heidenheim. The performance of heidenheim is not that good. 3 win 1 draw and 6 losses. That's enough to explain how bad this team is. Heidenheim is pretty much the same like darmstadt which has been destroyed by bayern.

Look at the current odds for this match

 

that's enough to explain if this match is not even worthy to bet. Bayern's odds even less than 1.1 which is horrible. I would not pick this match. The odds was not even worthy with the risk.

There may be more than 4 goals to be made by bayern against heidenheim. Bayern is just facing one of easy team.

I thought I would see PSG win against Milan. But PSG were unlucky. Even after dominating the entire match, PSG could not win. PSG played badly I wouldn't say that. They had 70% of the ball possession and were able to attack a lot. Even so, they were defeated in the end.

The match against Reims is very important for PSG. PSG are yet to occupy the top spot in the points table. PSG is second in the points table, 1 point behind Nice. Enrique's only attempt now should be to hold on to the top of the Ligue 1 points table. If PSG fall behind now, it will be even more difficult for them to climb the table in the future. Monaco, Nice and Reims are playing well now.

They are relatively new to European competition, the Chmpions League to be precise, so perhaps they need to get used to the pressure of Europe's biggest competition. But even so, that can't justify their loss of stability in the game. Maybe some of us will take this for granted, but this is a valuable lesson for them, because they know they have to be better if they want to talk more in the Champions League. Now their chances of qualifying from the group stage are very slim, still there but small and it also depends on the results of other clubs.

I don't like Marcus Rashford personally but have you checked closey to see his approach? Marcus Rashford had no intentions of fouling that lad, all he was trynna do was protect the ball. The match officials understanding of the game is not too quality, for it it was he woulda know that wasn't intentional. Since he has given the red card can I change the fact? No! So ahead ahead they go, they must climb their own mountain.

The red card for Marcus Rashford is very serious and it's so unlucky for Rashford to have a foul and a red card like this. That foul can cause a serious injury on the Copenhagen player but Rashford did not try to make a foul. A yellow card can be enough in that situation but referee sometimes have to make decision without some thinking that what if it is a yellow card and what if it is a red card. They don't have time to think too much like we can spend hours or days to think and discuss about it. In an on going match, decisions must be made quickly and it gives chance for mistake, wrong decision.

The odds shows Manchester United chance is smaller after this defeat and maybe they will have to wait for a next season to go to a Round of 16 in Champions League.

After Neymar, now Al Hilal is near to signing a contract with Salah, he is currently playing for Liverpool but this player hasn't had a good performance so far. Salah was close to joining Al Ittihad during the summer but they failed and I don't think if they can hire another player during the winter but after the drama they had with Neymar now Al Hiala can hire Salah to have another superstar in their team.

Jadon Sancho's dispute is quite long, while Erik Ten Hag has strict principles for players who do not follow his rules, not only the coach Jadon Sancho may also have problems with management, since his arrival he has not been respected, maybe there is another reason where he is not so comfortable.

Is it true that he was previously promised the number 7 on his jersey? That's what I know in some previous news but in the end the number was given to Ronaldo who was brought back in 2021.

The performance of Lewandowski in Barcelona has been very disappointing so far in this season and this play didn't start the season well. Maybe it would have been better for him and Barcelona if this player had left Barcelona for the Arabian teams during last summer because so far Lewandowski hasn't scored a single goal in the six games and this is enough to say Lewandowski is under pressure in Barcelona. The last time this player was in bad form was in 2011 when Lewandowski couldn't score a goal in six games and this is happening again.
