It would be interesting to check how often a team that was not expected to win the title, actually won the title in the end when they led the table after 12 games or so. I doubt that many teams won the table. It is a nice moment in time to see some teams "play for the title" in the early or middle phase of the season, but mostly it is the well known favorites who really get going towards the end of the season and win it eventually.
One of the favorite teams to dominate the Premier League title in the last 6 seasons is Manchester City. They are the record holders of 3 consecutive titles since the 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, but they also have a good chance of maintaining it until this season.

Of course Manchester City is not alone in challenging for the Premier League title this season. Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are also on the same path as Manchester City although I fully believe that Manchester City have the best chance of securing it. I found them leading the standings, so normally it would be difficult for another team to knock them out of the top spot.

I am confident that if Bellingham plays against Cádiz, he will continue scoring goals because he can position himself very well and Griezmann will not be able to compete with him for the top scorer this season. Bellingham will get the Golding boots if nothing happens to him because he is Real Madrid's goal scorer now and the club doesn't have a better striker for now like Benzema. If Bellingham plays against Cádiz he will continue to score because he can position himself very well and Vini jr locate him and give him the ball and score I don't think Real Madrid can compete with Barcelona in the league this season if Bellingham is not in Real Madrid, because they lack striker and i think Real madrid will get mbappe next season if he didn't renew is contract with PSG.
I don't see Bellingham not being able to do it if he has the chance, but it's not his main job to score goals because Real Madrid have strikers who should be more reliable. Bellingham has scored 10 goals so far and of course this will increase as the season is still very long for him. But he is not a center forward who will always be expected to score goals so perhaps he will stop at junctions to let another striker do it.

I don't expect Bellingham to lead the top scorers until the end of the season, but it could be possible for Bellingham. Lewandowski and several other strikers should be able to fight for that position instead of Bellingham, but so far they are only a few steps away from Bellingham's goal record.

Ahead of the match against Juventus, Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta said the Derby d'Italia match would be very interesting.

Yes, of course this is a prestigious match for both teams, because this match will determine who will be at the top of the standings.
Both teams seem to have shown their best game in the last 5 matches.

But I will bet on Inter Milan winning.  Cool
Inter are favorites in that, but somehow I feel it's very unfair that Juventus have such a low probability of winning at home. This match will bring high tension so that everything can change and never match predictions and analysis. A draw is not completely negligible, even if Inter has a high probability of winning. Then from that, Juventus also has the opportunity to win at home because of its good performance this season instead of just Inter.

In other matches, Milan vs Fiorentina should also be in the spotlight. Milan have lost a lot of points in the last 4 matches and they are expected to be able to stop this bad trend in the next home match. Fiorentina are not in their best condition either, but Milan should realize that their current top 4 position will be under threat if they lose.

Bitcoin's October is on a roll again.  We're only halfway through and its value has already jumped up 37% over previous month.  This October is turning into a wild ride!

Predicting the pump is tricky as guessing winning lottery numbers.  but if I had to guess, I'd say Bitcoin could end the month with gains around 40% compared to last month. and  nothings guaranteed, but October 2023 might see some nice boosts,  maybe something similar to October 2021.
We are now in the middle of November and and something in October was done regardless of whether the increase was good or not. In fact, the price increase at the end of October has sparked more investor optimism to try to maintain the positive trend towards bitcoin. We have almost penetrated $38k several times and the price of bitcoin has even risen to $37,685 after being corrected to $35,241 the day before.

Approaching the end of the year, prices are getting wilder. I expect $40k to break even though it could actually be higher. If in November $40k is broken, then I believe we will be at $45k in December. But $40k is still the strongest resistance this month.

What is clear is that this match is important for both teams to steal three points to strengthen themselves at the top of the standings. Man City previously drew against Chelsea and will certainly try hard to lose points again in this match. Likewise, Liverpool consistently continues to win matches as if they have found their playing rhythm again like two years ago.

This match will be very difficult to predict because of course both teams will play carefully, these two teams also have their own characteristics in building attacks, especially in counter attacks that are so fast. Overall both teams have the same strength, I think in this match whoever makes one mistake will lose.
The Manchester City vs Liverpool match is very difficult to predict because both of them are equally good in appearance. Both teams have advantages and disadvantages, but Manchester City, which plays at home, is expected to win the match because of its home advantage.

Manchester City will try hard not to drop any points in their home match against Liverpool. This season Manchester City managed to win 5 of their 5 home games while conceding only 3 goals, while Liverpool have drawn 3 and lost 1 in their 6 away games this season. I think this statistic is a must to pay attention to to determine the probability of who is most likely to win the match, so my conclusion about this match is that Manchester City is the favorite.

Barcelona has a significant player deficiency. Even though Lewandowski is in the forward area, I don't think he will be as good in a few years. Barcelona is missing a young and effective striker. Alvarez would be a great alternative, but there just isn't enough money to buy him. Manchester City is an important team and they have a star like Haaland, but I still do not think they will let Alvarez go.
As others have said, Barcelona must do something good in the long term by bringing in a capable center forward. I also feel that Alvarez is a player who fits what Barcelona expects, especially in terms of quality, but Alvarez is a mainstay player who costs a lot to sign. Barcelona cannot afford to do it in the near future because they are more focused on improving their financial condition instead of spending a lot of money on expensive players who do not guarantee success.

Lewandowski can still be expected so far, but Barcelona certainly must have capable reserve players so that their performance can be in line with the plan. Lewandowski is old and definitely prone to injury, so Xavi needs to think about other players so he can replace him when he is injured.

The match between Inter Milan versus Juventus will be held after the international break, and I think this is the match most awaited by all Serie A fans. Because this match will create an increasingly wide gap in points between the other teams in the top four. standings, and Juventus will not just let their opponent top the standings. On paper, I think Inter is still a little better than Juventus, both in terms of the number of goals they scored and the number they conceded. But in the upcoming match, Allegri squad will act as hosts, of course this will provide more motivation for them to hold back Inter progress.

There are still a lot of matches remaining in Serie A, because we are just entering week 13, which means it is very difficult for Inter and Juventus to go undefeated or draw until the end of the season, so AC Milan and Napoli still have a chance to catch up on the points difference. Of course, this only applies if they themselves continue to be consistent, but overall I see that the points gap that Inter currently has is not yet safe from being chased by other teams below them.
Juventus has a home advantage that they can maximize, while Inter is likely ahead due to their performance. Both teams have the same chance of winning, but Inter seems very confident in securing their position at the top with a win. This match is definitely very interesting and worth looking forward to, but if they make a mistake then Juventus will take it over.

I was surprised and couldn't believe Milan's performance in their last 4 matches. They are too weak to hope to win games and tend to drop points in games they should win. Milan managed to get revenge on PSG with a home win, but they allowed Lecce to get 1 point after Milan led 0-2 in the first half. Obviously bad and very bad, because Lecce is a team that is actually not strong.

Chelsea have been keeping it real against top sides this season under Pochettino. The fact that Chelsea has been able to beat the league leaders and drawn last season’s treble leaders will instill some fear in their upcoming opponents. After watching Chelsea play against in form Arsenal, and Spurs, i feel like they have improved and with time, they’ll be formidable and other teams will take them seriously. That  performance  against Manchester city the is really our identity. This is the Chelsea we know. They showed great character when nobody believed in them. The boys will only get better under Pochettino. For now I think they should capitalize on this and get a run of wins which will build their confidence.
Not sure what to say about Chelsea, but they are starting to prove their worth. Chelsea have improved technically in recent games, which has clearly had a big impact on the player's confidence and motivation. Pochettino must maintain this form of play after convincing enough, but Chelsea are still unpredictable.

In the match against Manchester City, Pochettino placed Sterling in a best position on the left wing. He plays well there instead of rotating on the right wing, while Palmer can accelerate on the right to put pressure on his opponent's defence. This is a good strategy and the correct placement of players, but Pochettino still looks like he can change it because he still wants to find a really good formula.

Bitcoin now has more chances of increasing in price further than it has to decrease in price, I'm looking for the BTC's next major correction to the downside when the price gets to $50k or $69k which is psychologically a major zone of resistance that brought us way down here. I could guess that a lot of investors who bought at $50k- $69k and were thinking that Bitcoin was headed to $100k while they got trapped, may tend to take a breath seeing the market come to them once again and other factors that could cause brief sell-off.
The price corrected close to $2000 in the last 24 hours. Saturation has likely played a role in why today the price of bitcoin corrected instead of trying to break through its resistance. I'm not panicking, but this high volatility is unpleasant when I don't have the budget to accumulate.

Expectations of touching $69k are still very high in the future regardless of the timing. Bitcoin will experience a halving in the next few months and historically this will trigger a lot of price increases and can even print a new ATH. The increasing demand for bitcoin in the market will cause a rise although some people will sell it along the way to enjoy the returns.

I'm not willing to tell someone about bitcoin and teach it before they get started with it first. Let someone ask questions first before you start the lecture, sometimes you also need to be quiet to observe and close the discussion with the truth.

Of course I have exceptions, especially for people I care about and they are family members. I need to tell them about bitcoin and all its advantages. The mindset in investing needs to be improved, but I will not fight against any form of scam, especially if they don't care about what I have explained. If they listen to opinions and are willing to change their attitude, then continue to the next stage.

Losing to Inter Milan and Juventus may still be normal conditions because they faced teams that were much more balanced, but when AC Milan received defeat to Udinese at home this became a big problem. Napoli is also quite ambitious about displacing AC Milan in the top three and a difference of two points opens up opportunities for Napoli in the next two matches. If Stefano Pioli does not try to find a solution for several injured players, it will make Napoli more likely to displace them in the standings in the next match.

Olivier Giroud cannot play due to the accumulation of red cards he received against Lecce, Leao has an injury which is unlikely to be used and Polisic, who can play in several positions, is also injured. Stefano Pioli's position will be increasingly difficult to make several rotations in that position and the busy match schedule will make it quite difficult for them to divide and if they lose then Napoli will displace their position in the top three of the standings.
Milan lost so many points in their last 4 matches. They got 2 defeats and 2 draws so there were 10 points wasted because their performance was inconsistent. I don't think Milan is fully ready to fight for the Serie A title this season based on its current form, but this can still be improved although I tend to believe Inter or Juventus will win the Scudetto this season.

I hope Milan can return to their best form after returning from the international break. They have a match against Fiorentina, but it is not an easy match to hope for victory for Milan. Fiorentina has also been inconsistent in its last 5 matches, but Milan certainly needs to be careful and needs to work hard to stop its bad trend.

Lol, he would never leave Bayer Leverkusen during a season. I don't believe that rumor even exists, but if it does I would immediately say it's a bad joke.

Alonso is going to give his best for the team now and I think that it could be possible Real Madrid is trying to get him for the next season. But Alonso has all the time he wants, he is still very young as a coach and if he now builds a great team in the Bundesliga, maybe he wants to stay with them for another season and keep the option to go to Real Madrid one day in the back of his head. There is really no need for him to rush anything.
Real Madrid tends to work with experienced coaches instead of working with coaches who are actually still starting their careers. Xabi Alonso could be one of the great coaches of the future if he has the opportunity to work at a top European team, but for the near future then I think Real Madrid would be better suited to Zidane than Alonso.

Zidane has proven his abilities with Real Madrid by winning many titles. His coaching abilities have been tested and recognized worldwide, but Zidane has not coached any other club apart from Real Madrid so far. Zidane is far more likely to become Real Madrid coach next season if Ancelotti drops the suitcase to become Brazil coach.

Tottenham continue to surprise us. First the huge loss against Chelsea after being shown 2 red cards and now this loss against Wolves... I really don't know how they managed to lose this game honestly. It was like an epic ending for Wolves side for certain. Because both goals came in the stoppage time and the winning goal was even in the last moments.

Maddison and Richarlison both weren't able to play due to injuries. This was a big hit to Tottenham of course. But I still believed in their impressive team effort in general of the season so far. But we couldn't see that here at all. If they managed to keep that 1-0 advantage to the end then I would have called it a lucky win honestly.  Sad
It must be admitted that when a team loses 2 to 4 of its main players in one match, most of them will not play as well as expected. Tottenham lost at least 4 important players due to injury and suspension, so it's make sense that we don't see them playing like before.

Another surprise was the big match between Chelsea and Manchester City. I didn't expect Chelsea to be able to play like a final. Their defense wasn't that great in terms of the number of goals conceded, but from the way they ended the game I think they deserve a round of applause. I didn't found Chelsea as good as yesterday apart from against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.

If I may ask Sir, how does one become a DT member here as I am curious about it. I have not really paid attention to that aspect of the platform engagements about DTs but I should start it now.
You just need to have one of the DT 1 members to add you to their trust list. That's just one of the conditions, but before they include you, you need to do something convincing like giving lots of valid tags to other users and also have a decent contribution. DT 1 will not add you to its belief list by chance, but usually they did due of your contribution to the trust system.

Wolverhampton dramatic comeback in the last minute made Tottenham suffer two consecutive defeats, previously Tottenham also lost to Chelsea. Losing six points in two consecutive matches was a very embarrassing result for Tottenham because so far they have always appears consistent with 8 wins and 2 draws. This is not a good result for Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou must immediately bring Tottenham out of the bad results obtained from Chelsea and Wolves. Tottenham, who have played 12 matches, are in danger of falling further behind Manchester City, who is at the top of the standings, because their rivals have only completed 11 matches. If Manchester City manages to add three points away from home to Chelsea, Tottenham will be four points behind Manchester City.
If Tottenham hadn't lost two players to red cards, then I truly believe Chelsea couldn't have won that game. Chelsea took advantage of their numerical advantage against Tottenham, while I'm not sure they can beat Manchester City who have so far returned to their best.

Manchester City will not underestimate Chelsea in tomorrow's match and of course it would be bad if they did. Chelsea is playing at home and it is very possible for them to do well because of the full support of their fans, but I believe their chances of winning the game will never be as good as Manchester City. For now, Manchester United and Arsenal have been ahead in their respective matches, but this match was truly tense.

It is really shocking though to learn that Tottenham again lost to wolves in their encounter today, after lossing to Chelsea last week, I wasn't able to watch the match, so I can't not tell how the two club really played, but the fact is that I wasn't expecting Tottenham to lose this match, I was really hoping they will want to prove to the world that what happened in their last encounter with Chelsea was really a mistake.
The match was tough for both teams although I can say that Wolves managed to put a lot of pressure on Tottenham's defense. Wolves failed to capitalize on many chances throughout the match due to poor finishing, but they did manage to get the win in injury time.

Apart from all that, this is Tottenham's second defeat in the Premier League in 2 consecutive matches. Their performance was good, but I didn't find them doing much more harm to Wolves' defence. Tottenham only dominate possession of the ball, but they have a lower chance of scoring a goal compared to Wolves. Manchester City and Arsenal and Liverpool certainly benefited from Tottenham's defeat, but it is very uncertain that the three teams above can secure 3 points in their respective matches.

This was a good comeback from Girona. They were able to win this match, even though Rayo was the team to break the deadlock in this match. Able to score in the fifth minute of the match. But in the end, Girona was able to score twice in this match and the final score of the match was 2–0. And of course, it was in favour of Girona.  I have to say, the way they have performed in. This season has definitely impressed me. And so far I think I can say that they definitely deserve to be at the top of the table.
Girona was ahead of the odds even before they started the match. Rayo Vallecano and Girona were both evenly matched in their game, but in the end Girona deserved to win this match and secure top position. I had expected Girona to win this match, but it was difficult to believe how they would be able to maintain such consistent performance.

All Girona players are in good condition and have good self-confidence. They are very difficult to beat and it iand they have proven that in 13 games so far. Their challenges are not over this season, but Girona's work this season has been truly beyond expectations. So far Artem Dovbyk, Savio and Yangel Herrera are the 3 players who have contributed a lot to Girona's victory this season in La Liga. The total goals scored by these three players is 15 goals, which is half of Girona's total goals in 13 matches. They are just a mediocre team with a market value of €161.10m, but they have proven that it is no problem to lead the La Liga standings at the moment.

Even I keep iterating this over and over again that we all are still early into bitcoin.
The volatility is high and as time goes on more people will keep investing in bitcoin and thus the volatility will reduce.
The marketcap will increase a lot and so buying now as much we can would turn out to be more profitable in the future.
Of course, but it requires good planning and making decisions as wisely as possible regarding this investment. You should not ignore any risks involved, in fact you should not ignore regulations and rules that may prevent you from utilizing Bitcoin to make a profit.

So far bitcoin is starting to gain the attention of many people and it will continue to increase over time. Governments are starting to benefit by creating rules and approaches that benefit the state by taxing the returns of traders and investors, but they can change legal regulations to illegal ones whenever they want so that risk should not be ignored.

As a coach, Xavi knows exactly what he has to do with his squad. The problem is, some injured players need time to fully recover. one of them who needs time is De Jong, the absence of this player has quite an impact on their performance, especially in the middle sector. However, in fact, Xavi started trying to experiment with new systems and patterns. we can refer to the matches between El Clasico and Real Sociedad. What is certain is that it takes time to improve and close deficiencies while strengthening the system.

Like Ancelotti, at the start of pre-season they were very doubtful. Since the competition started, people have been surprised that Madrid is currently without a pure striker. and it seems that Xavi will imitate the same style as long as his players have not recovered from their injuries. Also, it requires players to be ready and adapt to the new system that Xavi is implementing.

We'll just have to wait and see, whether Xavi is able to bring his squad back to perform better.
On the other hand, Barcelona's current defensive condition is not so ideal. They conceded 12 goals in 12 matches, although it's not specific that Barcelona concedes a goal in every match. The point is, Xavi knows what he has to do. Whether it works or not, we'll just leave it to time. After all, this competition still has a lot of games left until the end of the season.
Xavi has convinced me so far of his coaching abilities for Barcelona. He has good tactical abilities and can adapt to the depth of his squad, but sometimes the team's play and performance does not match what was planned. Barcelona has been less stable this season in defense mainly because they have had injury problems there. They also lost some of their best midfielders in many of their previous matches and that has affected the team's performance this season.

I think Xavi will be very confident if all his best players are back on the training ground after suffering injuries. Barcelona had good squad depth this season if they played with their best squad, but unfortunately they missed that due to injuries. Joao Cancelo, Balde, Kounde and Araujo are the best in defense, while Pedri, Gundogan, De Jong will support stability in midfield. Joao Felix, Lewandowski and Raphinha will be good in attack and that is the best line up I think for Barcelona this season.

Manchester United also appear inconsistent in the Premier League and it is increasingly worrying that they will be able to secure a place in the Champions League zone next season.

Because of how Manchester United have performed this season, no one can expect them to qualify for the Champions League next season because they are not playing like people who can pick form. However, I believe they can try and qualify for the Europa League if they try hard enough because even the two matches that remain in the group stage of the Champions Leagues, I do not believe they can win the two matches because Galatasaray and Bayern Munich are performing well and will not try to lose, However, Manchester United must try their hardest to defeat Galatasaray because Bayern Munich has already qualified for the next round and cannot risk any of their players in the game. Manchester United has the opportunity to win the game, but the priority now is to defeat Galatasaray first.
I was not impressed with Manchester United's performance in the Champions League, nor with their performance in the Premier League. Manchester United have suffered 3 defeats from 4 matches and of course that has only cost them the chance to qualify for the round of 16. Manchester United can fight for the Europa League, but I'm not sure about that if Ten Hag doesn't find a special formula to restore his players' confidence.

For the Premier League match, Manchester United will play tomorrow. They travel to Luton Town and this is a chance to bounce back by winning the game. Luton Town cannot be underestimated following their success in stealing points from Liverpool in the previous match, so Manchester United must be very careful in this match.
