Leipzig, Dortmund, Bayern, Leverkusen and Frankfurt all look like they might be playing teams that they should be easily beating. I can't really say if that would be the case but betting on a parlay with all these teams winning would definitely be a huge return. Obviously parlay is a huge risk and you may not get what you want out of them and it would be smarter to pick something that would make more sense, because in the end if you are not careful about it then you are going to end up losing bunch of money.

But, there are rare points in the season when 5 good teams do not face each other at all, one or the other always faces each other, and on these moments when they all face different teams, some of them even the bottom teams, I think it is smart to give it a try. I will probably lose my bet and I know that I will not get all 5 out of 5 right on this, but I can't not bet on this, feels like its right there for me to bet and if I do not bet and they all win I will feel even worse than losing this bet.
Liepzig should lose after doing so to Manchester City, they will lose the next game they play and that's against Bochum who have been struggling.
Dortmund I think will not win also tommorow, they will draw that match. Bayern Leverkusen I don't know, but they have a good form since last season.
Frankfurt will be at home so they can also help defending. Bayern Munich also should be among the clubs here. They have always been the best in Bundesliga.

Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will win tomorrow's matches unless something goes wrong.  The Leipzig team is in very good form. They are unbeaten in the last 5 matches. Their performance is still very stable. I predict that  Leipzig will easily win the home match against Bochum.
Bayern Munich will play  against Freiburg. The Freiburg team is not weak. Freiburg is a Renowned team in the Bundesliga. But the team is not in good form. Their performance this season has been  erratic. It will not be possible for  Freiburg's players to resist a strong team like Bayern Munich.  Freiburg's defense is quite weak.
Leverkusen  will play against Koln. Koln is currently the last team in the points table. The way Leverkusen is  performing this season, the team will win by a big margin against Koln. And my guess is that Leverkusen will win this match by at least 2/3 goals.

Sometimes bad teams may end up beating good teams, but that doesn't mean that they suddenly became good teams themselves, they just got lucky, and could continue to play worse. That is the same with Lecce as well and Sassuolo game and should not be all that different.
It is true that weak teams could beat good ones at their weakest moments but this isn't always the case as we know.
Lecce 1 - 1 Sassuolo was quite normal result since Sassuolo is mid-table team and fluctuating from a match to another.
Empoli 0 - 0 Udinese is also a normal result, both teams are hovering around the relegation zone and will remain there for a long time apparently.

The result of the Lecce vs Sassuolo match was as I expected. But many considered Lecce as the favorite, because Lecce was ahead in the points table. But Sassuolo is a very good team. And they played well enough against Lecce.  Lecce's performance was also  good. Several good attacks I have seen from  Lecce players. Lecce were close  to the relegation zone last season, but their  performance this season is quite strong. The team will probably be able to be in the top 10 of the points table.

Both Udinese  and Empoli teams are at the bottom of the points table. Udinese have only 5 points from  8 matches and Empoli have 4 points  from 8 matches. Two very weak teams. So I did not watch this match live. But I just watched the highlights of the match. EMpoli played very well in the home match. And if they can do such a performance in the upcoming matches, then the team can get out of the relegation zone.

They have  an excellent squad. The squad has a lot of  experienced players. But the performance of the players is very erratic. If Rizwan and Shakeel had not played big innings today, Pakistan would  not have scored 200 runs.  Pakistan's top order failed today. Pakistan won because the opponent was a weak team like Netherlands. If the opponent in this match  was a team like bangladesh, afghanistan or sri lanka,  Pakistan would have been defeated in this match. Pakistani batsmen have to bat more carefully in the coming matches.
We have seen a match that we can say is scoring on these pitches, as the pitches in India are completely made for batting. Pakistan, today have their match in hand finally, as they have defeated the Netherlands team by a best margin of 81 runs. Both Muhammad Rizwan And Saud Shakil added 68 runs each to the total. Also, Shadab Khan and Muhammad Nawaz batted well, by scoring 32 and 39 runs consecutively. While in bowling Hassan Ali bowls well and took 4 wickets.

The Netherlands Team failed to achieve their target of 287 runs today, while they all fell for 205 runs. Although they tried hard. A good match we have seen today.

You know most of the matches of this World Cup will be played on batting friendly pitches.  In the warm up matches we saw that every team was able to score high n every pitch was batting friendly.  Also in the first two matches of the World Cup we saw batting friendly pitches. Even then England, Pakistan and Netherlands did not do well.

Pakistan have been suffering from their batting weakness for a long time. We have seen Pakistan poor batting in the Asia Cup matches as well.  If Pakistan's batsmen bat in such a manner in the upcoming matches, they will not be able to qualify for the semi final.

Netherlands team is not experienced enough, they scored 205 runs against Pakistan. Their bowlers performed well but batsmen did not perform well.  However the batsmen of this team are also capable of scoring high.

Bilbao - Almeria the only game from LaLiga today and even if at first look this game doesn't look appealing , I'm sure both teams will deliver a top football game as Almeria even if they are on the last place , they have 11 goals scored so I expect them to score tonight against Bilbao and even snatch 1 point from them.  Grin

I bet Athletic for Bilbao today. I took the risk. Athletic Bilbao looks stronger than Almeria, but this team's performance is very erratic. The players of Bilbao are not able to maintain consistency even though they are in the sixth place in the points table. In the last 5 matches they won two, drew two and lost one match. But since the opponent is very weak, it is expected that Bilbao will get 3 points in today's home match.

Bilbao have won their last four matches against Almeria. Also the performance of Bilbao's forward players is quite good. Almeria's defense on the other hand is very weak. They have conceded 21 goals this season. Almeria has the weakest defense in La Liga. With such a poor defense it will be much more difficult to resist a team like Bilbao. Hopefully Bilbao will not disappoint me today.

Manchester City's performance at the start of the season was a bit slow. Yet they have managed to maintain continuity. They won 6 out of 7 matches. The main reason for City's slow start to the season is that two key players in the City squad, Silva and De Bruyne, have missed several matches due to injuries. However, Manchester City's performance under Guardiola was excellent.

Hopefully Manchester City will be able to maintain this consistency of their performance. If Manchester City can win the next match against Arsenal, then I think we will see Manchester City at the top of the Premier League points table for a long time. But losing points to Arsenal will see Arsenal occupy the top spot in the table. I am looking forward to the Arsenal vs City match.
  I expect the citizens to floor the Gunners in their home when they meet on Sunday. Arsenal have been impressive of late but they're a long way from beating Pep's men and haven't been able to win in all their 13 times they've recently met. As it is, Guardiola has trained his boys to see every game as important and a game like this will not be treated differently.
I know Arteta will want to pull the rug from under Guardiola as they pay a visit to the Emirates Stadium but the question to ask is, can he?

Manchester City favorites in this match cannot be said. Because this is Arsenal's home match. Arsenal players are more confident at home. Also because the bond between Arsenal players is very strong. So this team will play well against Manchester City. Guardiola will have to come up with a new strategy to beat Arsenal. Manchester City defender Rodri will be absent for this match. He is one of the most important players in City's defence. Both Arsenal and City have very strong defences. Manchester City have conceded 5 goals in 7 matches and Arsenal have conceded 6. So it will be difficult for both teams to score in this match. Both teams are strong, but I guess we won't see many goals in this match. The match is likely to be a 1-1 draw.

I don't know what you all are thinking but from my point of view Manchester City team has started this season very badly than last season. Last season had a fantastic performance which deserves praise but the team's performance has suffered a bit since Kevin DeBruina left the team due to injury at the beginning of this season.
Although there is a slight difference in Manchester City's performance at the start of this season, I think it is very inappropriate to judge Manchester City to have been bad at the start of this season. Because everyone can see that after seven matches at the start of this season, Manchester City is still ranked first and that can be very accurate evidence that Manchester City has not been that bad at the start of this season. In fact, Manchester City will still be a candidate to win the Premier League this season.

When Erik ten Hag was first brought in, he was a manager who was expected to bring positive changes to the team, especially last season when MU finished third in the EPL, everyone believed ETH would bring good changes to MU.
But for some reason this season, after bringing in many desired new players, MU was unable to meet the expectations of many parties.
and I agree with you, if the bad results continue, of course the pressure will be even greater. So Erik ten Hag must be ready to take responsibility for MU's current condition, so that the choice to withdraw for ETH is the right choice.
As the manager, he should expect a lot of trolls and criticism for his team's poor performance, and this is true for any manager in football. Eric Ten Hag did exceptionally well last season to qualify his team for the Champions League this season, and that is what fans and team management continue to demand from him, even after they added new players to the squad to make them competitive.

All of this should only motivate him to work harder to improve the team's performance in this competition. If the team is eliminated from the group round of the competition, it will be a major setback because they have a solid chance of qualifying for the knockout phase. It is now up to their efforts and resolve on the pitch to determine if they will advance to the next stage, which they should be working on by now.
Ask any Manchester United fan whether they think that the achievement from last season was exceptionally well. I am sure you will be told that they expect the qualification for the Champions League as a standard achievement considering the history and prestige of the club. You can't call a 4th rank an exceptional achievement for Manchester United. It was good, but it's nowhere near where the club sees itself.
It would actually be said if the 4th rank was an exception in recent years. Manchester United is looking at their rival Manchester City for over a decade now and they never managed to finish just one season ahead of them. I am sure this hurts everyone who loves the club and they want the good old times back.

Manchester United's performance in the first 10/12 matches of last season was very poor. But even then with the help of ten hag they made a great comeback. Gradually the performance of the team stabilized. And finally  they managed to get into the top four of the table. However another reason why  Manchester united is in the top four of the table is the poor performance of teams like  Liverpool, chelsea and tottenham.

After qualifying  for the Champions League, United fans' expectations of the Ten hag increased. But since the start of this season, several key players in United's squad have been out of the squad due to injuries. Ten Hag have yet to  find their best XI. Because of this, Manchester united's performance is still  weak and erratic. Once the players return to the squad, perhaps we will see a return to stability in Manchester United's performance. However Ten Hag needs more time to stabilize the team.

Netherlands need 162  runs in 25 overs to win. It is difficult for a team like Netherlands. And the opposing Pakistan bowlers are very experienced. And today their performance is very controlled. We haven't seen many good performances from Pakistan's batsmen. Even then they managed to settle down a target of 287 runs. If the bowlers can continue bowling under control, it will not be difficult for Pakistan to win.
Haris Rauf took two wickets in an over and the balance of the game shifted again in Pakistan's favour. I guess, at one moment it seems that Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede would take the game away from Pakistan and that innings by both of these players looked a bit threatening.

Anyways, Pakistan were able to bowl them out in 200 odd runs and they won the match by approx. 80 runs. Saud Shakeel was the player of the match as he made 62 runs in only 52 balls earlier in the afternoon today.

In the end Pakistan won the match by 81 runs. But their performance was not good, as the team dreams of winning the title.  Their performance has now become similar to that of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They have an excellent squad, the squad has a lot of experienced players. But the performance of the players is very erratic.

If Rizwan and Shakeel had not played big innings today, Pakistan would not have scored 200 runs.  Their top order failed today, they won because the opponent was a weak team like Netherlands.  If the opponent in this match was a team like bangladesh, afghanistan or sri lanka,  Pakistan would have been defeated in this match. Pakistani batsmen have to bat more carefully in the coming matches.

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team
Vinicius surely has a big role in Real Madrid attacking line. When he got injured, Real Madrid has no other left winger that has the same level as him. That's why Real Madrid performance seems decreasing a bit. Although Real Madrid actually has an option (Brahim Diaz) but Ancelotti seems not really like this player. I don't know what the reason is, but it is very unfortunate to see Brahim Diaz situation in Real Madrid.
There is no experienced striker in Real Madrid's squad. Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.  So I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.
The return of vini is a thing of joy for Madrid as they have managed to struggle through other games in his absence, but now it going to seem like the struggling days are over as the man for the position is back, maybe this was the reason the strike force of Madrid for once looked like it was very sick and needed replacement, but no I think there will be no need for that.
Vini seems to be the best striker Madrid have but then it's obvious he isn't reliable as he is now an injury prone player, even before the injury he was that outstanding in performance but then he was just fit for the strike force as he was able to score a few goals but then he needs to improve his goal scoring skill as it's needed to help the team as that has been what they lacked the most.
One main purpose the return of vino will definitely serve will be a morale boost for the front line as they can be sure to get goals after making the moves and giving the necessary assist needed and required of them. I hope to see the team perform better than they have done in the past few games, in their next UCL game I hope he will be playing and will definitely deliver them.
As the season is concerned Vinicius Jr is one of the most important Real Madrid has,  Vinicius Jr has always played an interesting role for his club.  But I'm always worried about Vini Jr because if anything happens to him Real Madrid will really go tough time in their performance.  I just hope as the season goes on nothing happens to Vinicius Jr because he is a key player for Real  Madrid.
With Vinicius Jr and Bellingham Real Madrid still have the chance of winning trophies even if they do not have a pure striker in the team, I'm still looking up to them to make a great performance in Champions league .

I agree with you that with Vini and Bellingham Madrid have a chance to win the trophy. Because all 11 players in Madrid's squad are talented. Their defense is strong. At the same time  I will say that Madrid coach Ancelotti is very  experienced. He knows his squad's weaknesses very well. And that's why we've seen  ancelotti change his formation and match tactics several times this season. At the same time  he also changed the position of the players. He is still experimenting with the team . And he is succeeding. He prepares his match strategy considering the strength of the opponent. And this is why Madrid's performance is still so stable and strong. Despite not having an experienced striker in the squad, they still have a chance to win the title.

Pakistan vs Netherland

Pakistan managed to score 286 runs in 49 overs after losing all wickets in the first innings against Netherlands. There were more expectations from Pakistan where the Netherlands were Pakistan's opponents. Babar Azam Mohammad Rizwan did not perform well.  Pakistan lost three crucial wickets early on which caused them to be in a lot of batting trouble early on but the middle order batsmen of Pakistan were able to take flight after that.  

A target of 287 runs on such a batting friendly wicket is an easy target for any team, if the Dutch batsmen don't give away wickets and if they can hold on to the wicket then they can surely collect 287 runs.  
After 12 overs so far, Netherlands have collected fifty-two runs for two wickets. Since Netherlands lost two wickets in the beginning, this match is still in favor of Pakistan.
Yes, you are right. Pakistan can win this match easily because Pakistani bowling line up is very good and Pakistan  Can defend this score. Pakistan will win this match .In past, Pakistan played very on Indian Wickets. Now, Netherland is playing very well. Muhammed Rizwan played excellent and made  68 runs in just 75 balls. Shakeel made  68 runs with just 52 balls, Muhammed Nawaz made 39 runs in 43 balls. Pakistan all team out by making 286 runs. Bas de Leede  took 4 wickets  by giving 62 runs in  9 overs. Colin took 2 wickets  by giving 39 runs in 8 overs.Vikramjit Singh is playing very well and he alive on 35 runs in 51 balls and Bas de Leede is not out on 27 runs in 28 balls. Netherland 's score is 88 runs with fall of 2 wickets. Match is very interesting but Pakistan will win at the end.

Netherlands need 162  runs in 25 overs to win. It is difficult for a team like Netherlands. And the opposing Pakistan bowlers are very experienced. And today their performance is very controlled. We haven't seen many good performances from Pakistan's batsmen. Even then they managed to settle down a target of 287 runs. If the bowlers can continue bowling under control, it will not be difficult for Pakistan to win.

Netherlands lost 3 wickets in 25 overs and collected 125 runs. They averaged around 5.1 runs per over. Opener Vikramajit was dismissed with a brilliant innings of 52 runs. And Bas De Leede remains unbeaten with 46 runs. If Pakistan manage to pick up two more quick wickets then the match will be in their control.

Roma are doing really well in the Europa League at least. Because their start to the Serie A has been really worrying so far. But they are expected to make improvement no matter what. Therefore the Europa League is also very important for them. Mourinho must be still having nightmares about the finale in the previous season.

So far they have started the group stage really strongly. I think they would finish as the leader as well. The most difficult part will be after the group stage. We don't know what teams will be coming from the Champions League too. No matter what they must be aiming the title once again.
Mourinho has always loved international tournaments and even if in the domestic championship his teams did not play well, in the Champions League usually his teams have always played well and consistently.
Roma have not the most difficult group, and Servette is seemingly in 9th place in the Swiss championship, so it is clear that they had no special chances and Roma quietly got three points, and Lukaku scored again. By the way Lukaku set a record, he scored in 13 consecutive games in the Europa League.

I think that along with Liverpool, Roma is now one of the main favorites in the Europa League.

I think Mourinho's main target now is the Europa league title.  Mourinho knows very well that winning the serie A  title is not possible for his squad. Roma's squad is  not very strong either. But even a  mediocre squad can win the Europa League title. And perhaps Mourinho is moving towards this goal. Although Roma's  performance in Serie A is not good, the team is doing well in the Europa League.

Servette is a relatively weak team . So Roma will not face any  problem to win this match. Their performance was  also quite stable. But the important thing is that Belotti and Lukaku are returning to form. If the trio of Belotti, Lukaku and Dybala play well, Roma's performance will be stable in Serie A as well.

There is no experienced striker in Real Madrid's squad.
There is Joselu, he is an experienced striker. But he is just proven in La Liga, he isn't proven for UCL. Joselu is also still not in the level of striker that Real Madrid needs.

I know Joselu is there. But the problem is that if you look closely, Ancelotti probably doesn't like Joselu. He doesn't want Joselu in his main squad. Joselu was third among La Liga's top scorers last season. I don't know why Ancelotti doesn't like Joselu. He is quite experienced, on the platform of La Liga.


Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.
Both Vini and Rodrygo aren't strikers, they are attackers in the positions as wingers. I assume a striker means a center forward (CF).
Agree. These players are very talented, they have great speeds and the ability in dribbling. But they are not a machine goal that can make score constantly.

I have no doubt that Vini and Rodrygo are very talented. But I have seen in many matches that they miss even easy chances. We saw Ronaldo and Benzema miss very few easy chances. Vini and Rodrygo will need more time to reach the level of Benzema or Lelandowski. And so I don't expect much from these two players this season.


I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.
Real Madrid just relies on Bellingham. It will be difficult if Real Madrid expects the goals from the midfielders. Bellingham and other midfielders don't have a special ability in scoring, it is a special ability of a striker or a winger.

Ancelotti's best decision was to add Bellingham to the squad. He is a great midfielder now. And he can become a worthy replacement for Modrich. We probably won't see Modrich at Madrid next season. Because he is now 38 years old. Bellingham's consistent good performances have led Madrid to continue in La Liga and the Champions League. Madrid will face a big problem if Bellingham is out of the squad due to injury.

Pakistan team in deep trouble. They have lost 6 wickets so far and net score is just 188. It looks like that Pakistan won't be able to play there full 50 overs quota today. Saud Shakeel and Rizwan are the top scorer with 68 runs each. This is not a good start of the tournament from Pakistani side, with this batting they won't be able to progress much further in the tournament.
They have made good recovery. Shadab Khan and Shadab Khan have added 45 runs for the 7th wicket and Pakistan are now 233/6. It looks as if they will end up with a total of somewhere around 320 (they have 9 overs remaining). But Pakistan should be careful not to lose another wicket. Bas de Leede will be bowling 5 of the remaining overs and he is quite capable of taking wickets during depth overs. And if they lose another wicket, then they are down to the tail, with Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf to come next.

Pakistan will set a target of 280-300. They collected 250 runs in 43 overs. There is no way to call it a bad collection. The Pakistan team scored an average of 5.8 runs per over. But the problem is that the opponent here is the Netherlands. It would not be wrong to say that Netherlands' bowling line-up is the most inexperienced bowling line-up of the World Cup. Pakistan's top order failed against such bowlers. I am worried about what they will do against the bowlers of India, England and New Zealand. Pakistan were favorites in today's match. Even if a target of 260 is given, I think the chances of Pakistan winning this match are high. But in the first match, such a start against a weak team is risky for Pakistan.

And congratulations to Roma.
This time, give applause to those who have won 4 - 0 from Servette. Even though their performance is in Serie A, at least they can play quite well here. Although in fact, their opponents may sometimes not be as tight as in Serie A.

Roma played well today. The team continues to struggle in Serie A. Their performance has not been consistent in Serie A . But they did not make  any mistake in the Europa League match. Their match strategy and gameplay was very good . Roma won a remarkable 4-1.

Attacking duo Lukaku and Belotti  played well in today's match Mourinho did not use one of his weapons Dybala. Perhaps Roma's performance would have been stronger had Dybala been with the squad. On the other hand, midfielder Pellegrini came on in the second half and played brilliantly. He scored an assist and a goal in just 6 minutes.

By the end of the second round in this group stage of Champions League, there is only four teams that got 6 points: Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid. These teams are serious contenders for the title this year especially Manchester City then comes the others.
There is also unsuccessful teams like Manchester United and Dortmund in the bottom of the tables of their groups.. I think they will leave the competition at this stage, maybe it isn't a bad thing for them this season.
From what we've been able to see this season in the UEFA Champions League competition, it's very clear that the four teams that have won their first two matches of the UCL competition are surely the favourites to win the competition this season.
Manchester City though haven't been at their best since the start of the season in terms of convincingly winning games like they were doing last season but they've been able to win their matches. Some of the club's first team players who were out injured are back to the squad which will further strengthen their performance

Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona all won the first two matches. Undoubtedly, their performance was very good. I also consider Arsenal and Inter Milan as favourites. Both these teams have  the potential to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, I do not trust  the performance of barcelona and Madrid. Barcelona's performance is still a bit slow. And Madrid's performance depends on their middle order. If Kross, Modric or Bellingham get injured in the middle order, I think Madrid's performance will deteriorate.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City have the perfect squad to win this year's Champions League title. These two teams are very strong this season. They also have enough talented players in their squad.

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team
Vinicius surely has a big role in Real Madrid attacking line. When he got injured, Real Madrid has no other left winger that has the same level as him. That's why Real Madrid performance seems decreasing a bit. Although Real Madrid actually has an option (Brahim Diaz) but Ancelotti seems not really like this player. I don't know what the reason is, but it is very unfortunate to see Brahim Diaz situation in Real Madrid.

There is no experienced striker in Real Madrid's squad. Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.  So I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.

I do not see any possibility of defeat of New Zealand. They are going to win the match easily. They collected 187 runs after losing only 1 wicket in 25 overs. Will young was the first to return to the dressing room. But COnway and Rachin Ravindra are playing brilliantly. Conway remained unbeaten on 98 and Ravindra on 87. New Zealand need only 96 runs in 25 overs.
The first match of the World Cup I thought would be very competitive. Also I thought England team as favorite. Because England played very well in the last series against New Zealand and won the series. It was totally unexpected that England would perform so poorly today.
Yes exactly they played really well in the series but here in ICC World Cup's first match England is looking weak and New Zealand is now much stronger as compare to the England team. According to the current situation New Zealand made 209 runs in 28 overs and they need 74 runs in 21 overs. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway partnership is going well. Devon Conway already made his century and Rachin Ravindra is very close to it. And I am sure thay he will also complete the 100 runs soon.
First match of World Cup tournament has been ended and this match was very interesting and exciting. If we see that New Zealand played very outstanding and they perform same as in previous matches of warm up. But I also expected that England also play good but they disappointed their fans and everyone believe that England will win this match easily and they have strongest team ever. New Zealand defend the target of England 282 runs which is not much high but normal target. In warm up matches, New Zealand defend high target gearter than 300 and also give more than 350 runs target to their opponent team. Great job New Zealand team and especially Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra batting performance and their remarkable partnership both players completed their century and also credit of this winning match goes to Rachin Ravindra because they made 123 runs and also took 1 wicket.
Well, we all know by how much big margin the New Zealand team won today. They really took revenge of the last World Cup finals where the England team defeated them and won the title.

The partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway was amazing. Although Devon Conway made 152 runs but man of the match was Rachin Ravindra who made 123 runs in the partnership. I think he was awarded the player of the match because he also took 1 wicket in the match.

No one imagined such a miserable defeat for England. Many gamblers lost bets today. Most of the people considered England as the favorite in this match. But the reality was different. England's performance was that of an average team. I would say they played very poorly. No one expected such a performance from an experienced team like England. I was very surprised not to see Stokes in the England squad today. I feel Stokes should have been given a place in the squad instead of Sam Curran.

England's next match is against Bangladesh. I cannot say that England will win this match. Bangladesh always perform well against England in the World Cup. Moreover, it is not possible to give any prediction about the performance of Bangladesh. Only God knows when this team will play well or when it will play badly.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.
It looks like Arsenal is in good form and has the advantage of playing at home, so it will be very difficult for Man City to score a goal at Arsenal's home ground, because Arsenal have not experienced defeat at all in their last match, although I am optimistic that Arsenal will come out as winners, at least not I have doubts about placing a bet on Arsenal, even though Man City is still at the top of the class, that doesn't mean they will continue to dominate the class, there will definitely be mistakes in every match.
Both Arsenal and Manchester city have very strong squads. It is difficult to say which team will win.  Manchester city players are in good form. They are winning  against leipzig in the champions league match. Although they lost against West Ham in the Premier League match. However  I don't think this defeat will have any effect on Manchester City's performance against Arsenal. Arsenal are favorites as the home team. Arsenal's players will be more confident in the home match. I think the match will probably be a draw. The match is likely to be a 2-2 draw.
If you have ambitions to win the title this season, Arsenal must beat Manchester City. These two teams have shown real rivalry since last season in the title race, the Gunners led for a long time but they failed towards the end of the season so they were taken over by Manchester City. Arsenal's strength this season has also greatly increased, of course there is no reason for Arteta not to be able to beat Guardiola's troops. However, if the Gunners again fail to beat their main rival, then I am sure that their chances of winning the title this season will disappear again.

you are right If Arsenal want to be Premier League champions  then they must get 3 points against manchester city . Because arsenal's biggest rival for the  title is Manchester City. And I'd say one of these two teams will win the Premier League title this season.

This is Arsenal's home match. If they fail to  pick up 3 points against City at home, they will fall further behind Manchester City in the title race. Arsenal are still 1 point behind Manchester City. So a win in this match will see Arsenal occupy the top spot in the table. I am quite optimistic that Arsenal will do well against Manchester City.

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.
If you look at the statistics of the game, Napoli were superior because they managed to control the ball well, but unfortunately they still lost even though it was only one goal difference. This shows that Napoli's strength is actually on par with Real Madrid, and it could be said that Napoli is a worthy opponent with Real's strength. Madrid. Hopefully, Napoli will still have the opportunity to meet Real Madrid again so they can avenge the defeat they received in yesterday's match.
They will face Real Madrid again anyway. The other match will be in Spain and frankly, I think Napoli, who could not win in Italy, has a very low chance in Spain. Real Madrid will beat them in Spain too. The return of Vinicius added great strength to Real and we saw this in the Napoli match.
Vinicius Jr is considered a key player for Real Madrid and the return of this player provides greater strength because when Vinicius was injured he was replaced by Joselu who was able to perform very well providing several scores for Real Madrid as well as his collaboration with Bellingham who is currently Real Madrid's mainstay and Vinic return provides the quality of the players becomes more perfect seeing the solid cooperation from Bellingham and Vinicius and Rodrygo also gives a strong performance and Toni Kroos, who is Real Madrid oldest player, also gives full support to achieve the champions league title and also target of getting title in LaLiga for Real Madrid should be something It's easy, even Napoli won't be able to beat this club.

I would say Real Madrid's performance now depends on their midfielders. Madrid's midfield is very strong. There are talented players like Toni Kross, Luka modric  and Bellingham. And they are consistently  able to perform well. Vini and rodrygo are talented players in Madrid's attack. But they are not regular scorers. I have seen these two players miss a lot of easy chances. However  Madrid coach  Ancelotti being very experienced,  he knows well the weaknesses of his squad. This is why he is   changing Madrid's match tactics and formation almost every match. It is hoped that the team will be able to maintain consistency in the champions league and La Liga. However  if Madrid had an experienced striker in the squad, it would have been easier for Madrid to dominate the champions league and La liga.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City have very strong squads, so it is really difficult to say which team will win. Currently Manchester City players are in good form, you know they are winning against Leipzig in the Champions League match. Although they lost against West Ham in the Premier League match, however I don't think this defeat will have any effect on their performance against Arsenal.

Another thing is you know Arsenal are favorites as the home team, so their players will be more confident in the home match. I think the match will probably be a draw, is likely to be a 2-2 draw.
