Barcelona vs Real Sociedad on Saturday will be a tough match, because Real Sociedad will like to showcase some tactics that will make them shake Barcelona for the first half to make the match draw 0-0. No matter how prepared Real Sociedad prepare for this match, Barcelona will definitely use home advantage to embrace victory from this match, because Real Sociedad cannot stop Barcelona strikers not to have access to their goalpost through out the match. I believe, Barcelona will score two goals from this match that will make them to achieve the three points to celebrate.

There is no doubt that Real Sociedad is a very strong team in La Liga. And this team is in very good form right now. The team has not lost any match for a long time. However, Sociedad's past record against Barcelona is not good. Real Sociedad have not won any of their last 15 matches against Barcelona. And they drew in only one match. And so Barcelona will be favorites against Sociedad in the next match as well.
Also, this match is Barcelona's home match. At home, Barcelona will definitely be looking to win and the players will be confident. I expect Barcelona to win this match. And decided to bet on Barcelona to win. My guess is Barcelona will win this match 3-1.

Man city destroyed real Madrid with 4 goals without leaving any room for surprises, with this result they prooved again that they are not joking and they are giving their best for getting the champoins league title, now they will play against inter and i believe they can do it without many defficulties
Manchester city had maximum control of the game. They came prepared and were very tactical throughout the game. They nullified the attacking flexibilities of Real Madrid and that gave them else to put them under pressure all through the game. This season, Manchester city’s treble is loading.. they will celebrate the champion league trophy more than who have won it 14 times. It will be more precious to them especially beating the most experienced team in the competition.
Manchester City's squad this season has been extraordinary, it is very difficult to stop their progress in any event. After being able to show his prowess when he beat the defending champion with a big score, I made sure that Manchester City were one step away from celebrating winning the Champions League for the first time in Istanbul. After this Pep Guardiola will of course shift his focus to domestic competition and most likely the Premier League and FA Cup will also be theirs. It's really great for Manchester City this season if they can win the Treble Winners.

After performing well in the away match, Manchester City also played well in the home match. They don't give any chance to Real Madrid. Real Madrid's players made several attacks, but they could not break City's defense. On the other hand, Manchester City players were able to maintain their dominance in the match. They won by a huge margin of 4-0 goals. I don't think we will see such a decline in Madrid. I expected this match to be very competitive. But we only saw Manchester City's dominance. Haaland did not perform well in this match. But Bernardo Silva played great in this match. He scored two goals. De Bruyne also had two assists.

$40,000 top this year, that's possible. But $11,000 as the bottom? That's most probably not going to happen. Not within the year, much less next year. 2024 is the halving year. Although there might be a dip months before the halving, I think $11,000 is a bit of an exaggeration. After the halving, the price will most likely be generally going up so $11,000 is very unlikely.

You're correct, if Bitcoin was meant to dump to $11,000, it should have happened last year as that was the only time the market was very bearish that the price of Bitcoin could have dropped that low but since it didn't happen that means it won't happen again.

If Bitcoin market was to become very bearish this year due to some bad news, the fall in Bitcoin price can only take it to below $20,000 and then a recover has to happen almost immediately. Bitcoin won't fall to as low as $11,000 if China or US ban it again.

By the end of this Bitcoin bull market next two years in 2025, Bitcoin would end up trading above $100,000 and that's because it's overdue to be trading that high. It won't happen this year or next year but it'll be happening in 2025 so we should plan towards then.

What happened to Bitcoin last year was terrible. Bitcoin was severely affected by the bankruptcies of big crypto players like 3AC, Voyager, Celsius, FTX, etc. There was also the ignominious Luna debacle. And what could be the worse of timing? All those happened in the time of pandemic and uncontrolled inflation and then a war in Europe. Macroeconomic factors also affected Bitcoin. But it didn't fall to $11,000. Why should it then fall that low within this year or next when things are getting better?

$100,000 could happen in either 2024 or 2025.

$11k sounds unlikely, but it's still possible, don't be sure of anything with this market. Bitcoin can't go from $69k to $11k, but it's much simpler to go from $30k to $11k. The future is unpredictable, no one can be sure that another crash like FTX or Luna will happen again, like when FTX and Luna crashed, we all didn't believe it until it happened. With that, the economic situation is still very bad, and if the Fed will continue to raise or keep rates high for a long time. It will probably be a lot worse than in 2022. No one can predict it, and to be careful, we need to plan for that scenario, don't be subjective.

Manchester city vs Real Madrid second leg will be a tough match for the both teams, but Manchester city will embrace victory like the way Inter Milan embraced victory from AC Milan. If Manchester city can draw first leg with Real Madrid in their home, showed that Manchester city will do everything possible within their strategy not to allow Real Madrid to score a single goal from this match because they will like to do what will make the whole world believe that they are stronger than Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid look for draw 0-0 in this match, I don't think Manchester city will allow such thing to happen that will make the match to end up in a penalty shoot out.
I don't think any team between Manchester City and Real Madrid are willing to play penalties. They are very random and not guaranteed. Getting a draw is also not helpful for Real Madrid since this means extra time and penalties eventually.
Best option is to score at least 2 goals and stay vigilant until the end of the game. Manchester City are favourite thing match and people are waiting to see them passing through Real Madrid and Inter Milan to get the title this time

Neither team wants to draw the match. Because which team wins the penalty shootout is mostly down to luck. And so Madrid and Manchester City are no team willing to take the risk. Both teams will play to win. Both Madrid and City have strong squads. This match will be very competitive. And I think we will see quite a few goals in this match. Neither team will play defensively in this match. Both teams have very strong attack and midfield. I am looking forward to see Ancelotti and Guardiola's match tactics. Hopefully we will see a different strategy in this match.

The way Mumbai started their innings, I don't think they will lose this match. LSG collected only 35 runs in 6 overs of the powerplay, while Mumbai collected 58 runs without losing a wicket. After 10 overs, LSG collected only 68 runs. Mumbai's collection was 92 runs. But even then there was a slump in Mumbai's batting. Mumbai collected only 1 run in the 13th over. This is one of the reasons for Mumbai's defeat. Despite having plenty of experienced batsmen in the squad, Mumbai lost the match by just 5 runs. Nehal Wadhera got out after collecting only 16 runs off 20 balls. Batting like that stupidly makes it difficult to win the match.
Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod and Suryakumar Yadav struggled against the spinners (Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya). In a match where the required run rate was over 9 runs per over, 8 overs from these two bowlers only saw 53 runs being scored. And Bishnoi took the important wickets of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma. Captaincy from Krunal Pandya was exceptional. He made the bowling changes at the right time, with the right bowler. Apart from the 19th over (which was bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq), Krunal's tactics worked perfectly well.   

I agree with you. Krunal Pandya's captaincy in this match was excellent. He has been able to use the right bowler at the right time. And because of the controlled bowling by the bowlers, LSG was able to win. Despite having T20 specialist batsmen like Tim Dawid and Sam Curran at the crease, Mumbai could not win this match. Full credit must go to LSG's bowlers for this. Marcus Stoinis also batted well in this match. He played an unbeaten innings of 89 runs off just 47 balls. Stoinis performed brilliantly at the moment when the team needed it.

The 178-run target looked like a target of 200-plus runs for MI. The last two overs by LSG and the failure of SKY, according to me, were the reasons why MI lost to LSG. The last over by Mohsin Khan was outstanding. Tim David and Cameron Green were a big disappointment whereas Marcus Stoinis and Pandya were the reasons why LSG was able to get 178 runs on a tough pitch for batting.
MI is the same team who used to make totals of 200 plus against quality opponents. And they were on the right track yesterday. When Ishan Kishan got out, they were at 103/2 after 11.1 overs. At this point, they needed just 75 runs from 8.5 overs, with 8 wickets to spare. But then their downfall started. First Suryakumar Yadav, and then Nehal Wadhera wasted a lot of deliveries. And then it reached a point where the required run rate shot up to 12 runs per over. Some big hits from Tim David brought down the RRR, but then the last over disaster sunk them.

The way Mumbai started their innings, I don't think they will lose this match. LSG collected only 35 runs in 6 overs of the powerplay, while Mumbai collected 58 runs without losing a wicket. After 10 overs, LSG collected only 68 runs. Mumbai's collection was 92 runs. But even then there was a slump in Mumbai's batting. Mumbai collected only 1 run in the 13th over. This is one of the reasons for Mumbai's defeat. Despite having plenty of experienced batsmen in the squad, Mumbai lost the match by just 5 runs.

1247  Economy / Economics / Re: Try to save money while you still can, will you ? on: May 16, 2023, 04:20:17 AM
If the OP could pull it off as per the title of this thread, and have a decent job that pays well worth it. then do it, at least it's better than you wasting it. let's reflect for a moment, around us, there are many people who are not well off. even to meet their standard of living, they have to look for additional work. since post-covid, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, its impact on the economy has been felt in all sectors. it's hard to find a job, even if there is one, the salary we get is below the minimum wage.
In other parts of the world, there are still many hungry people. don't save, just to get food today, it's very difficult for those who are lacking. so, share those of you who still have decent jobs.

If saving is good for you, then do it. but before that, you must have a plan and know what you are saving for. at least, you have a goal to save. By the way, in life, sometimes things come unexpectedly. good and bad in life, is a cyclical process that everyone can experience.

Yes, and during those "bad times" you might need what you've saved, no doubt about it. But even if you'll never need to spend those saved money, it's a good habit to not spend all you earn at once. Realizing that you can actually live with smaller amount makes you less dependent on your current salary, and one day you may consider moving for a less paying job but less exhausting too. We need that move sometimes to have more time to spend with our family, to learn new things etc.

Indeed. Your point is an excellent example of life-work balance. Saving is a beneficial habit for anyone, especially for those with a long term goal. We work to live and work for life, not vice versa. Sometimes we need to make choices over making less money/working less hours for spending more time with family or simply for yourself. Nowadays not many people can calm down and rethink about life and our most valuable time. I have always been a hard worker but known this clearly that life is larger than work.

For me, saving is important and imperative, although I don't have a goal for that, but in life, there are always surprises that we can't anticipate, it will help us in that case.  Currently, my income is quite stable compared to the average income in my country. But I never thought that I would stop saving because I have a better income than others. As you said, there will come a time when we, too, have to choose between making less money and spending time on other things. Because life is very short, but there are many things to take care of, not just work or money.
1248  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you survived during covid19 ? on: May 16, 2023, 04:01:04 AM
I live in a province so the COVID-19 was not that bad here. The food is not a problem, since we have a garden that has fruits and veggies, we even have chickens. The very important lesson I learned way back covid-19 was to save money as much as possible just in case of emergency. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and have a healthy lifestyle.

It's been a long journey but we all successfully passed that problem, thanks to God. Let's just hope there's no pandemic coming next anymore.

My family and neighbors are just like you, we don't have food problems because we are self-sufficient, we just have financial difficulties because our work and business are completely closed. We are much better than in densely populated urban areas where I heard they don't even have instant noodles to eat.

Thinking back on what happened is really bad and heartbreaking, but it's all over, and that's a lesson for us because there's no guarantee that there won't be another pandemic in the future. Always prepare everything carefully, don't be too subjective.
1249  Economy / Economics / Re: How do banks generate income? on: May 16, 2023, 03:48:57 AM
When a  bank gives you  a loan of 300.000 euro's, they don't have to have 300.000 on their books... They can just create "virtual money" which they loan out to you. IIRC, the percentage is actually a little less than 10%. So, a bank can have 30.000 on it's books, and still give out a 300.000 loan AND get 279.000 in intrest. They don't double their money, they actually multiply their investment by a factor >9...

It's downright criminal, but it's legal... This is why we need to be our own bank... If you don't own 300.000, you shouldn't be allowed to loan out 300.000.


They actually need to have 300k in cash to you if someone needs to have their transaction in cash but if it is a transaction from an account to another account then all they need to do is just to type in that amount of money virtually. Yeah its borderline legal but thats how banks operate and they made money through that

This is a system that everyone have to live in and no one really question this system at all not until bitcoin was created to actually counter this all fiasco

I've never heard of this, it's so absurd. I used to take out a bank loan to build my business, and I have never missed a dime on my loan.
People are comparing banking to bitcoin, and I want to know if anyone here needs money, needs capital to start a business, and does anyone get any help from bitcoin? I mean, are we going to get a loan from bitcoin?

Honestly, there's no need to compare banking and bitcoin anytime, anywhere, as both have different use cases. We are going to use banking for some purposes, bitcoins for some, they are completely different, so let's stop comparing them in this case.
1250  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the key to your success investing in bitcoin.. on: May 16, 2023, 03:32:47 AM
Get a job, at the very least, or add another source of income. If you don't have extra cash to risk on a highly volatile asset, you can't just buy bitcoin. In addition, exercise discipline in all financial decisions, just as you would in any other area of the market for investments. And more importantly, improve your security and privacy to protect your hard earned money.

That is how you stay in the long run.
You should have a stable income in the first place if you wish to invest and stay long term with bitcoin knowing bitcoin will never guarantee as a source of living. And it’s price will always be unpredictable so if you are just here for quick profits, I should say that it won’t work in bitcoin. Also, investing in bitcoin also has a high risk and if you are not ready to lose, it’s best not to invest in bitcoin and focus on real in demand businesses offline.
True. You will never be successful in one’s investment if you don’t have a stable source of income that will support your investment, as borrowing or taking a loan is a very bad idea especially for beginners who have less knowledge and no experience at all. And when you decide to invest, never think how to make profits but always think on how to stay long on your investment. That is way better than to expect real quick profits and end up disappointed and regretting.

there are also instances that they need to because they don't have enough money to invest though it is not good practice to take out a loan for investment as long as you can pay it and know the consequences which you reall think of it then take it but so long that you know you are investing for and you know the risk on it and how to prevent losing it but if you can save then it is better but this will take time

You can also borrow money to invest but make sure that you will repay the loan even if your investment fails, and for that, you need a steady income job. I am not too strict with borrowing money for investment or business because sometimes the opportunity will slip away, and it will not wait for us if we do not catch it. But we should calculate and come up with the worst case scenario we will face, if we can handle that worst case scenario, then getting a loan won't be a problem.

In another nail-biting finish Bangladesh triumphed over Ireland securing a thrilling victory by a margin of 4 runs. The win ensured Bangladesh a clean sweep of the ODI series which ended 2-0 in their favour. Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the hero of the match claiming 4 wickets while conceding just 44 runs in his 10 overs. Despite a valiant effort from the Irish batsmen including a formidable partnership of 109 runs in the second wicket Ireland fell just 4 runs short of their target of 274 While L. Tucker scored 50 runs and M Adair 20 runs fought hard but Bangladesh disciplined bowling proved decisive as they maintained control throughout and clean sweep ODi Series by 2-0.
I would say it was a game must won by Ireland, as they played well to chase the target. The irony with Ireland is that they don't have the capability to finish the game. Ireland collapsed when 44 runs were required on 50 balls with 7 wickets in hands. This weakness of Ireland can only be overcome if they were given more and more chances to play against test teams. Mustafizur Rahman was the hero as he picked 3 wickets at very crucial part of the game.   
You are right that Mustafizur Rahman played a great role in ensuring victory for Bangladesh. On the other hand, Mahmud Hasan managed to take two great wickets in the last minute, all in all, Bangladesh's bowling department made it possible for Bangladesh to win this match.
Mustafizur Rahman really played a very important role to win the match tomorrow. Mustafizur Rahman was not present in the first and second ODIs, but came to the third ODI and showed a great surprise. Mustafizur Rahman bowled 10 overs and took 4 wickets with 44 runs including a maiden over. Mustafizur Rahman came towards the end and took 3 wickets in 3 consecutive overs. Mustafizur Rahman took the first wicket in Ireland's innings. All in all, Mustafizur Rahman won the Man of the Match title after defeating Ireland.

I would say Bangladesh won this match only because of Mustafiz's brilliant bowling. But Miraj and Hasan's bowling was good enough in this match. A mere 274 was not enough to win on such a pitch. The performance of Bangladesh's batsmen was poor. Ireland on the other hand collected more than 100 in their second wicket pair. And till 40 overs the match was in control of Ireland. But unfortunately, they were defeated. I would say that Ireland was defeated because of the experienced performance of Bangladesh's bowlers. Otherwise, Ireland would have won this match easily.

Manchester United performed brilliantly and won. The wolves' aim in this match was to draw the match goalless. And so they played a completely defensive strategy from the beginning of the match. Wolves players did not make any attacking attempts. .
Manchester United dominated the match and created many chances during the match but they failed to convert those abundant opportunities to goals. Anthony made one assist but he was criticized by playing too selfish and wasted some other chances that can help Manchester United to have more goals.
They had risk to be equalized by Wolves anytime if they only lead the opponent with one goal. The second goal from Garnacho at the 90+4 minute which is too late and Manchester United actually had fearful time before that goal.

I agree with you. Manchester United players played very well. But their finishing was poor. Manchester United could have won this match by at least 4 goals if the experienced striker was in the squad. Despite some strong attacks, Manchester United's players missed easy chances. However, the opposition was weak so despite the missed chances, Manchester United won easily. But United's players must be more aware when playing against a strong opponent. Otherwise, Manchester United will not be able to win against the big teams.

I would also say that Sevilla is very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League. At the same time, the Sevilla team is very tactical. I watched Sevilla's performance against Fenerbahçe. I don't think Sevilla played very well. The draw in the first leg against Manchester United was entirely due to Sevilla's good luck. But now Sevilla's performance is much more organized. Sevilla is able to perform well not only in Europa League matches but also in every La Liga match. I think Sevilla will dominate the second leg against Juventus and qualify for the final.
I don't think Sevilla appeared in Europa League semi finals because they are simply lucky. They eliminated Manchester United very impressively in quarter finals and if you watched their first semi final with Juventus, they are very strong. Juventus only avoided a loss at their home stadium with a very late equalizer.
From the first leg, Sevilla will return to amon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium with a good result from a first leg, they will also get support from their loyal fans and good result from quarter final. I really think that Sevilla will only become a stronger and more dangerous club at their stadium. It will give them bigger chance to beat Juventus and have another final match in Europa League.

Sevilla's performance in the Round of 16 and Group Stage was not very good. However, the Sevilla team performed well in the second leg against Manchester United and in the first leg against Juventus. And now in La Liga, this team has been able to continue to perform well. And I think Sevilla will be able to perform better in the home match against Juventus. The Juventus team is very strong. But their performance is not regular. Juventus' performance against Sevilla in the home match was very poor. They attacked very little. If Juventus play the same strategy in the second leg, they will not win.

Sevilla is the team I was expecting to see them lose in the tournament weeks ago against Macnshter United but they were lucky enough to beat Mancshte United and now they beat Juventus as another strong team while Juventus is the team I was thinking they are the first hope for winning the title at the end of this season. I think Sevilla can win the second leg too.
Lucky enough? I agree if you refer to the first leg, but in the second leg they deserved the win. They didn't dominate the game for 90 minutes, but they had more attacks, more attacks on target, more corners, more balls recovered. They just put more effort into that game to win it, Manchester United was passive at times. The first leg ending with the two goals for Sevilla was lucky, but even in that game Manchester United is to blame that they didn't score a third before Sevilla got the chance to score the first out of luck. Now that is the result. But when luck frequently repeats itself, it is perhaps not luck.

I would also say that Sevilla is very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League. At the same time, the Sevilla team is very tactical. I watched Sevilla's performance against Fenerbahçe. I don't think Sevilla played very well. The draw in the first leg against Manchester United was entirely due to Sevilla's good luck.

Manchester United attacked so much but could not succeed with only two balls hitting the Wolverhampton team's goal post. A total of 8 balls were saved by the Wolverhampton keeper, and many more attacks from the D box sites were deadly yet Manchester United were unable to score a single goal. Although I expected more than two goals to be a non-issue, the Wolverhampton players worked hard to keep their team from conceding. Manchester United are able to score goals especially through counter attack, these two players Anthony and Alejandro who are able to score goals through counter attack have delighted the spectators of the football field with their magic of feet.
In that match Wolves made a full defensive strategy. But Manchester United should be appreciated because there were so many opportunities that almost turned into goals. And getting a win with a score of 2-0 is also quite good. Because with this victory Manchester United will be firmly in the top 4 ranking. Because currently the difference in points with Liverpool who are ranked 5th is also not too thin. at least a difference of 4 points is still safe enough for Manchester United. as long as Manchester United cannot lose again in the remaining 3 matches.

Manchester United performed brilliantly and won. The wolves' aim in this match was to draw the match goalless. And so they played a completely defensive strategy from the beginning of the match. Wolves players did not make any attacking attempts. But Manchester United played a completely attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. Despite having only 48% ball possession, they managed to make 27 shots in this match. United was able to break the Wolves' defense in this match due to a lot of attacking. Martial, Bruno, and Antony performed well. A win in this match made it a bit easier for Manchester United to occupy third place in the table.

Chelsea won 3-1 against Bournemouth. However, I don't think Chelsea's performance was very good in this match. Chelsea's performance was similar to previous matches. Bournemouth's defense was very poor. And so Chelsea managed to score three goals in this match. Otherwise, the Chelsea team would have lost points in this match as well. Not to say that Nottingham's defense is too strong. But in the last few matches, Nottingham's attacking players have been playing brilliantly. Nottingham scored 10 goals in the last four matches. And so it is much more difficult for Chelsea to get 3 points against Nottingham.
Chelsea have a terrible form this season, impacting defeat mentality on the players. The club needs time before coming back to their best form, it's going to be a lengthy period of time to see the blues fully in action. Chelsea beating bournemouth 3-1 was a deserved victory for the club, they had it all and dominated the game full-time. Frank Lampard badlock have been broken, the next thing is maintaining consistency in winning games. The fans are not not relaxed because they expect more wins from the blues in upcoming league games.

The bonding between Chelsea players is not good. Also their match strategy is not good. This is why the performance of this team is so erratic. They cannot dominate even against relatively weaker teams. But the win against Bournemouth was much needed for Chelsea. This will increase the confidence of the players and they will try to perform better in the upcoming matches. Chelsea will play a home match against Nottingham Forest today. I will definitely expect Chelsea to win. But Nottingham Forest are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone. And so this team will make maximum efforts to earn points against Chelsea.

In today's match, SH is showing great batting performance. Compared to other matches, today's match is giving good game to the visitors. It is difficult to say how likely SH is to win today's match but if the fielding performance is good then there will be a chance to win. But it is difficult to say how well LSG will play in today's match. LSG is currently at the 5th position at the top of the points table with great performance in their game which they are ahead of. SH is far behind LSG at the top of the points table. SH are at 9th position in the points table, their points are very low so if they win today's match, they will have a good chance to move up.
The match between SRH and LSG is shaping out to be really interesting. LSG faces a significant challenge with a goal of 182 runs in 20 overs set by SRH. According to the most recent information LSG is now batting live and has amassed 54 runs in 8.2 overs while also losing two wickets. To win they now need to score 129 runs in the final 70 balls. Although it is still too early to predict the result of the match, it appears that LSG faces a challenging assignment. But anything can happen in cricket so we'll just have to wait and watch how the rest of the match plays out.
I don't think the pitch helped the batsmen much. 182 runs are enough to win if the bowlers are able to perform in a controlled manner. So far the performance of Hyderabad's bowlers has been quite good. LSG mustered only 89 runs in 13 overs. They have lost wickets in two matches. LSG needs 92 runs in 7 overs. It is not an easy task at all.
And I would say the match is completely under Hyderabad's control. If the bowlers are able to bowl a bit better then they will win. LSG must collect over 13.4 per over to win. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Natarajan are bowling well. Hyderabad will win only if the performance of these two bowlers, as well as other bowlers in the team, is good.
I think the match is still in control of LSG. Because they have just lost three wickets. At the end of 16 overs, they managed to collect 145 runs. Stoinis returned to the dressing room with 40 off 25 balls. The crease now has experienced batsmen like Prerak and Pooran. And interestingly, Nicholas Pooran hit 3 over boundaries in his first three balls. Now need 38 runs from 24 balls to win. Looks like LSG will win. Collecting 10 runs per over is not a difficult task for batsmen like Pooran and Prerak. If LSG wins this match, the LSG team will likely move to fourth place in the table.

My guess was wrong. In the end, LSG easily won the match. Although the Hyderabad bowlers performed well in the first 10-12 overs, their performance in the subsequent overs was not good. I found every bowler of Hyderabad helpless, especially against Nicholas Pooran. Nicholas Pooran played an unbeaten innings of 44 runs off just 13 balls. Also, Prerak Mankad and Marcus Stoinis had two very effective innings. Mankad was unbeaten on 64 and Stoinis collected 40 runs. With the win in this match, Lucknow is now fourth in the points table.

It is a pity that Lazio could not secure the victory in the match despite performing so well. Lazio played much better than the opposition in the entire match. Still, the match ended up being a draw. The failure behind the image draw is the Lazio team's defense.
A draw for Lazio that happened at home is a very painful thing, because Lazio is competing in a better zone so that Lazio really needs points in every remaining match in order to end the season in a better ranking. In terms of the number of points seen from the four teams in the top five (except Napoli), Lazio will still be disturbed by Inter Milan and AC Milan if they cannot get full points in the next three matches.
Lazio are surely gonna be disappointed with the result of last night game because if how important of a match it was and how they needed all three points to boost their chances of finishing in the top four position at the end of the season.
But I think they should be okay with the draw since they also got a point from the game. Their position in the league is secured at least for this week and they can still make up by winning their next league fixture.

This match was very important for Lazio. And since the opponent Lecce was very weak in comparison, everyone expected only Lazio to dominate and win this match. Lazio's players dominated but left their defense unguarded. They attacked a lot, but the defense was weak. The Lecce players made good use of this opportunity. And I would say that Lazio is very lucky that they managed to get 1 point. Lazio scored their second goal after 90 minutes in extra time. I expected a more organized performance from Lazio. But they played very badly.

In today's match, SH is showing great batting performance. Compared to other matches, today's match is giving good game to the visitors. It is difficult to say how likely SH is to win today's match but if the fielding performance is good then there will be a chance to win. But it is difficult to say how well LSG will play in today's match. LSG is currently at the 5th position at the top of the points table with great performance in their game which they are ahead of.

Chelsea VS Nottingham forest  on Saturday will be a easy match for Chelsea to win with many goals to improve their points, because they displayed some new tactics that made them to achieved victory from their opponent in their last match. Based on some positive changes we saw in Chelsea in their last match, showed that they will definitely make Frank lampard happy for second victory so that people will believe that Frank lampard can help Chelsea to achieve their goal. Since Nottingham forest are still experiencing some challenges in their attack, I think it will be difficult for them to score a single goal from this match because Chelsea defenders will not allow such thing to happen.

Chelsea won 3-1 against Bournemouth. However, I don't think Chelsea's performance was very good in this match. Chelsea's performance was similar to previous matches. Bournemouth's defense was very poor. And so Chelsea managed to score three goals in this match. Otherwise, the Chelsea team would have lost points in this match as well. Not to say that Nottingham's defense is too strong. But in the last few matches, Nottingham's attacking players have been playing brilliantly. Nottingham scored 10 goals in the last four matches. And so it is much more difficult for Chelsea to get 3 points against Nottingham.
