The fact that Napoli lost at home against Verona should not come as a big unexpected surprise.Napoli surely has better quality players but Verona is near them in the standings.The fact that Napoli is far behind the leaders in points should make us think that we can expect anything from them because they have been not that consistent.
For me Juventus is out of the title fight because it is very difficult to recover points in the Serie A compared to the other major leagues.
I agree with your opinion about Verona-Napoli game. Verona are really not an easy opponent in their home matches. So, I was expecting to see a tough game. Although the score was a little suprising to me, Verona deserved to win.

Benfica are going to play a home game against Nacional this weekend. Benfica are the 3rd with 32 points and Nacional are the 14th with 13 points. Benfica didn't get any loss on the last 5 matches (3W 2D). I think Nacional have zero chance here and Benfica will get an easy win.
Of course Benfica are the stronger side in this match. But there is an interesting situation now. Benfica have too many players who won't be able to play. 6 of them are on defense and 1 of them is a scorer, Waldschmidt (6 goals). Their main goalkeeper is injured too. There is a possibility that we can see a surprise result but I still think that Benfica will win.

I'm feeling good to stake some amount on RB Leipzig against Mainz. It seems RB Leipzig is in very dangerous so they can win this match against a weak side easily. Odds are also attractive so let's see how they would make their position secure into this battle.
Well, so far is 2-2 and Mainz played well 1st half but I'm expecting Lepzig to win the 2nd half and eventually the game. Mainz however, they will try whatever they can to hold this draw and get 1 point as they really need points in order to have hopes they will avoid relegation. It's a chaotic day in Bundesliga that puts me in a mist as I want to place a bet and I don't know what to take... The match is going on really interestingly. Mainz have got 3-2 ahead in the second half. I didn't expect a game like this. I thought that Leipzig would win this easily but Mainz are having one of their best games in this season. There are still around 35 minutes for the end, so I believe Leipzig won't let them win.

10 minutes left for the end of Roma-Spezia game. The score is 3-2. But the score shouldn't mislead people. Spezia have 3 shots (2 on target) and scored 2 goals. Roma really deserve to win this match and I think they will do it.

Trabzonspor just found second goal and almost secure the win. Genēlerbirliği don't even have a shot on goal yet in 55 minutes. Trabzonspor plays very dominant. They will going up to 5th place after this win. Their form is crazy, 6 wins in last 8 matches. Only if they couldn't start the league so bad, they are still a contender for European league elimination place.
Genclerbirligi scored a goal somehow but Trabzonspor got a deserved 2-1 win. They have been doing really great for 5 weeks. I think they will leave Gaziantep behind in the end of this season and finish as the 4th.

Aston Villa ? - ? Newcastle United
Aston Villa tonight will be hosting Newcastle at home in their own GW 17 ( Remember Villa matches were postponed due to covid struggles). The side will be looking to bounce back after the loss against Manchester City which i believe they deserve atleast a draw. Newcastle meanwhile is struggling and 7 points from relegation troubles. I am tipping Villa to a comfortable 3 nil win.
My bet is on Aston Villa's win too. I think they are obviously the better team in this game. Newcastle haven't shown a good performance for a long time. I believe Aston Villa will defeat Newcastle with not much problem.

I was expecting a win for Besiktas in this derby and it happened. But I want to say that none of the teams played very good. After Galatasaray got a red card, Besiktas benefited from this advantage and succeeded in beating them 2-0.

Bayern got a nice win against Freiburg (2-1). They played very dominantly in both halves. Lewandowski and Muller carried the team to the win. This is a very good week for Bayern surely. Because all of their serious opponents in the league lost points.

Napoli got a huge win against Fiorentina today (6-0). They are waiting for Inter-Juventus game now. If we see a draw in this game, Napoli will like this for sure. Another team that will be happy about it is Milan of course. Their match is tomorrow against Cagliari.

Manchester Utd did a really good job here by getting the one point. Liverpool had much more dangerous attacks than them but they were too bad on taking a shot on target. They got 17 shots but only 3 of them were on target. Manchester Utd maintain their lead. Liverpool's no-win streak has gone up to 4 games.

Lille were nearly drawing with Reims but they managed to score the winning goal and it ended 2-1. PSG and Lille both have 42 points but PSG are the leader now. Lyon are going to play a match against Metz tonight. I think Lyon will win this and take the lead again.

@irfan_pak10 Hello. I am a participant in the signature campaign. My stake for the 4th week entered as 0 and there is no reason indicated for it. I assume there is a mistake and I'd be glad if you could check and correct it.
Week #4 was from 5-11 Jan. Since you joined on 9 Jan and made 10 posts until 11 Jan. That's why I gave you 0 stake as one needs 15 posts to be eligible for stakes. I've just realized that you use Singapore timezone. I thought that we were considering the forum time for a day. Thank you for the help, sir.

Villarreal are going to play a home game against Granada next week. Villarreal are the 4th with 32 points and Granada are the 7th with 27 points. Villarreal lost only 1 time on the last 5 games and Granada got 2 wins and 3 losses. Villarreal are one of the best teams on home games and Granada are the opposite on away games. Both teams are having a good season but I believe Villarreal will win this and maintain their good performance.
I expect a challenging game for both teams. It looks like Villarreal are predominant for this game but I can't fully trust them on this. Because Granada is a tough opponent this season. I won't be suprised if we see a draw.

Fulham 0 - 0 Chelsea
unbelievable that chelsea is failing to score a goal against a team playing 10 players
We are in the last minutes of the game and Chelsea finally managed to score and it looks like they will secure the win. But I must admit that this is not the Chelsea I want to see. They have been showing a bad performance for weeks.

There is not much time left for Angers-PSG match to start. I expect that there will be a tough match. Angers are a hard competitor for PSG and I have no doubt that they will have difficulties. Angers could get at least one point in the end.

Wolfsburg-Leipzig ended not different than I expected. This is a good opportunity for Bayern Munich. If they manage to beat Freiburg tomorrow, the point difference with Leipzig will increase to 4.

Torino cannot win even if they play with 1 man extra on the pitch and I'm kinda upset because I placed a bet on them before Spezia taking that red car so here we are , almost 90 minutes and 0 goals...such a bad luck for me. It's a shame to see Torino not being able to win even in this conditions so I think they're only chance for avoiding relegation this season is to put all their faith into Andrea Belotti to score a lot of goals because no one else it's gonna score for them...
I am sorry for you. I thought too that Torino could get the win here. But they are still too bad and I won't be surprised if they relegate from the league. I think Belotti needs to go to a bigger club. He is a good scorer and Torino don't deserve him.
