Fulham are gradually losing too many points they have lost two games in a row which doesn't feel good for the level at which they want to play. Their match with Chelsea is another opportunity to try and get all three points but if you ask me I think Chelsea with the recent additions have a better chance against Fulham. Chelsea will have to be at their best to be able to win Fulham.

Fulham have performed well this season. And had they managed to win their last two matches, they would have been fifth in the points table. On the other hand, Chelsea's situation is very bad. The tenth team in the points table is Chelsea. In fact Fulham team looks stronger than Chelsea right now but Chelsea team is more experienced. And their performance has improved in the last two matches. And so Chelsea look like favorites against Fulham. However, as Fulham's players have been in excellent form this season, they will certainly not want to drop points against Chelsea. The match is more likely to be a draw.

Looking at the La Liga match schedule this week, Barcelona will face Girona while Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad. Of course for barcelona it is an easy game and for sure they will secure 3 more points. Meanwhile, Real Madrid must face Real Sociedad, which is the team in the 3rd standings at the moment. Surely Don Carlo will have a lot of trouble with how to win this match, on the other hand Real Madrid as the host at least they can still be favored in this fight.
This week will determine whether Barcelona can widen the gap with Real Madrid or even Real Madrid, which will be further away from Barcelona if they lose the match against Real Sociedad later.
I don't think that Real Sociedad's third place gives it the status of some special opponent, especially considering that the game will be at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even Atlético, which is traditionally considered a serious opponent for Real and Barcelona, has been beaten by both clubs this season. It seems to me that Real Madrid will not have problems with Sociedad. But by the way Barcelona's away game can bring a surprise.
Indeed, Real Sociedad is not a special opponent for Real Madrid, but looking at the standings, of course they will still be a threat to Real Madrid this season. Moreover, Real Madrid's performance has not been stable this season, so it is very doubtful whether Real Madrid can beat Real Sociedad or not. Barcelona's away match had raised a question mark in my mind, if they drew or lost, of course this would be Real Madrid's chance to catch up on points from Barcelona.
But we must not forget that Real Sociedad has also managed to beat Athletic Bilbao. So Real Sociedad is indeed a pretty tough opponent at the moment. So I think the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad match will be quite fierce. Although I'm quite sure of Real Madrid's superiority. But we don't know whether there will be surprises or not in the match.

The way Real Sociedad is performing this season is truly amazing. They are performing amazingly and their performance is very consistent. I forget the last time they lost a match. They have won 12 out of 18 matches. Real Madrid is definitely a strong team. But even then, Real Sociedad will play to win this match. But the match is also very important for Real Madrid. Losing points in this match will widen their points gap with Barcelona. However, it will be very challenging for Real Madrid to get full points in this match.

Lens is doing great this season by having more points ant to be in the second position but I don't see how lens will be on top of the league  when their is PSG.  PSG has always been known for leading the French league , I don't see lens having it.
This season Lens is still a temporary complement to second place and if Lens can continue to be able to stay in that position until the end of the season, then that will also be much better for him because next season he can immediately be in another competition such as the Champions League. As for PSG, it cannot be denied anymore because it has dominated the French Ligue 1 for a long time.
Lens as shown good efforts since the beginning of this season and I believe they have invested too much to have afford loosing that position, I'm only worried about PSG because they are already giving me cold feet concerning this year French League 1 title.they have been displaying winning inconsistency ever since the returned from the Qatar Fiffa world Cup, though it wouldn't be a bad thing to see Lens win the league 1 tittle,  after all PSG as dominated for years.

As Lens's performance improves day by day, PSG's performance deteriorates. The bond between PSG's players has weakened especially after the World Cup break. As a result, they lost two important matches. And yet if they are not able to stabilize themselves then they may soon lose the top spot in the table. However, PSG's squad is strong. And they have a lot of experienced players in their squad. Galtier is trying his best to stabilize the team. I think PSG will make a comeback in the next match. and will retain the top spot on the table.

Yes Indian cricket team won by 90 runs against New Zealand cricket team. If, the New Zealand cricket team's last order batting performance could have improved, it might have reduced the run gap a bit more. Except New Zealand cricket team batsman Devon Conway, no one could perform well in batting. Losing three matches in a row is very painful for the New Zealand cricket team
Apart from the second match (where they got bowled out for just 108 runs), New Zealand had a lot of positives to boast. In the first match despite losing the toss and conceding a total of 349 to India, Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner kept them in the hunt till the very end. In the third match also Devon Conway showcased a lot of fighting spirit. They were playing under hostile conditions, and that too without some of their key players such as Kyle Jamieson and Trent Boult. And give the circumstances, I should say that they performed decently.

I have seen one problem with New Zealand in this series and that is whenever the target is very big, they do not seem to be able to keep wickets in hand. Just like in this match, there was a huge target. And New Zealand was doing very well to go along by keeping in touch with the run rate. But they were not able to keep wickets in hand. I honestly thought that some unfortunate things happened to them. Losing the first wicket on the second ball of the innings was the first problem. And the problem is they had a few big partnerships here and there. But it was not consistent. With wickets in hand, they should have obviously won the match.

India is looking like a superpower in cricket right now. I am certain that in the upcoming ODI world cup, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Tommy Paul is in the second semi-final. He won against his compatriot Ben Shelton after 4 sets. Paul and Shelton played on a very similar level. Individual mistakes decided the match at the end and Shelton made too many. Now Paul will play against Djokovic or Rublev. This match has just started. I am excited and looking forward to the match.

Shelton vs Tommy Paul both played really well in this match, but Tommy Paul played better. yeah, I also agree that individual mistakes decided this match in the end. If he could avoid those mistakes, probably he could give Paul, a few more problems and probably would have eventually won the match as well. In the end, he made enough mistakes. Anyway, I can say that Paul deserved to win the match.

Let's see who Tommy Paul is going to face in the second semi-final.
1646  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC bulls back? on: January 25, 2023, 05:24:23 AM
Yes, is a bull trap OP because, the price BTC is changing gradually to allow those that never buy BTC to buy before the price will return back to $55k soon. Many people used last year to prepared themselves for 2023 because, they believed that this year will be more profitable than last year that made bear market took over the market through out the year. I guess, many people will surely use this bull season that is about to start in the market to recover from their losses they experienced few months ago in the community.
Why should the increase in January be considered a bull trap? Which I personally never even thought about a pitfall in Bitcoin. Everyone including you can see for yourself how Bitcoin has increased this month which even today has penetrated $ 23K +. Isn't this what those who want to recover the losses that have occurred last year really hope for?

I don't understand how other people think the increase now is a trap, but every time Bitcoin goes down a large size, the recovery will also be bigger even if it happens slowly and gradually. So I think there is no need to see this increase as a trap because it will only make everyone pessimistic about Bitcoin.

It could be a trap or not, it's all just speculation. It is true that everyone expects bitcoin to recover, but there is nothing wrong with people suspecting this is a trap when they see bitcoin suddenly rise. Bitcoin rallied for no reason and without any news to push the price up, so it's no surprise that many are skeptical and cautious about this bull run. I'm still skeptical about this bull run, I can't say it's a trap, but I'm pretty confident saying we're still in bear season, we're not really out of bear season yet.
1647  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the bitcoin price continue to increase? on: January 25, 2023, 05:05:05 AM
Bitcoins price completely depends on their users only. If we want, then only the price will increase, and vice versa. The thing that I want to point out is that, Bitcoin follows the policy of supply and demand. So if the demand of the coin increases, then due to the limited supply of coin, the price will be forced to increase. So Bitcoins will only increase, if we buy more coins than we sell. You can easily see the application in a particular exchange. If the exchange has more buy orders than sell orders, then you will notice that the price of Bitcoins will increase simultaneously.

The value of any asset depends on supply and demand. But at present, the value of bitcoin I suspect that it depends only on supply and demand.
Bitcoin is still a volatile asset and somewhat manipulated by sharks, the bitcoin market is more of a game than a supply and demand market. This will improve in the future when bitcoin becomes bigger, like the gold market, but unfortunately, now is not the time. So we can never predict whether the bitcoin price will go up or down in the coming days.
1648  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bye Bye Bear Market :) on: January 25, 2023, 04:47:36 AM
I am not sure if this is a bull trap although my doubts are great, but I am convinced that we are not out of the bear market yet, it is still very early to confirm the bears was left behind. It is normal for bitcoin to recover from a long string of declines, just as there will be a few sunny days in winter.
In order to see what the next trend of bitcoin is going to be, we need to take more time to observe and confirm whether the winter has indeed ended or if this is just a price trap.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. India have begun the innings, and not much of change in the Indian squad. Everyone believed that India will play with new squad as they have already won the ODI series. Holkar venue is a lucky ground for India, as they've won every ODI played in this ground. New Zealand will try to restrict India within 250 runs which increase the winning probability for New Zealand.

The way India performed in the first two matches, I personally don't think New Zealand will win the third match. I think India will be able to win today's match as well. New Zealand won the toss but decided to bowl but they are not able to bowl well. At the end of 8 overs, India collected 64 runs without losing any wickets. Quite a good collection. As India's opening pair has been able to get off to a good start, they can set a target of over 300 in today's match as well. I don't see any chance of New Zealand winning if India set a target of more than 300.

Arsenal has been the most consistent team in the Premier League this season. Arsenal's players have performed well since Manchester City and Manchester United. And the players are very confident this season. The performance of the players is stable as they are confident. Arsenal also has a comfortable points gap with second-placed Manchester City in the table. If Arsenal wins their next match they will be 8 points ahead of City. Arsenal is the most likely to win the championship so far this season.
Arsenal is better in premier league this season than other clubs, I agree to that, I also agree that they are more stable than other clubs as they win more and has only lost just ones this season with just two draw, but I do not agree that Arsenal still has a comfortable point gap yet, just 5 points away from Manchester City, that is not far yet as they still have 18 matches to go this season.

If Arsenal can continue their form then they are in a comfortable position. But if they lose the truck and the performance deteriorates they will be knocked off the top of the table. But a gap of 8 points is a big margin for a platform like the Premier League. Only Manchester City can go top of the table if Arsenal lose all three matches, and if Manchester City win all of their subsequent matches. It's not impossible. But it will be too difficult. Because every Arsenal player is performing well now.

Tonight game is going to be an interesting one though,Lazio vs Milan,both teams I think are in the fight for the second place and Lazio has one strong defense so it will be interesting to see how things will fold out.

This is a very important match for both teams. The point difference between Lazio and Milan is only 4. The Lazio team is quite good and their performance is stable. If Lazio wants to qualify for the Champions League, they need to pick up points in today's match. Or they will gradually fall further behind. But Milan is a very strong team. And AC Milan has won 4 of the last 5 matches between these two teams. Considering the performance of the previous matches, Milan is definitely the favorite in this match.

Anyone watching BPL matches? Today the match between Fortune Barisal vs Sylhet Strikers is taking place. Barisal won the toss and decided to bowl. And the Sylhet team did not start their innings well. Sylhet lost 3 wickets to collect only 15 runs in 2 overs. Sylhet collected 65 runs in 10 overs. Shanto and Tom Moores are batting well. If their partnership lasts, Sylhet will be able to give a big target even today.

Fortune Barisal is in good form. After losing the first match, Barisal won 5 matches in a row. And so they cannot win today by giving Sylhet a low score target. Barisal will easily win today's match if they fail to give a target of at least 160.

The most tough match would be Frankfurt vs Napoli and PSG vs Bayern Munich, Frankfurt is really surprising can reach top 2 on Bundesliga while Bayern Munich is a king without crown.

In the Frankfurt vs Napoli match, however, Napoli seems to be favourites. Because they have been performing consistently well since the beginning of the season. Napoli are at the top of the Serie A points table. And they are dominating every match and managing to win. But it is difficult to speculate on Frankfurt's performance. Frankfurt has the ability to surprise everyone with a win against any big team.

PSG and Bayern Munich are two very strong teams. And both are aiming for the Champions League title. And I would say that both have the ability to win the Champions League title. And so it is not possible to predict the outcome of this match. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning.

Icardi's performance was great again, Galatasaray is trying very hard to score points. Maybe he will not be the top scorer, but I think he will continue to score good goals in the most critical matches. If Galatasaray succeeds in becoming the champion, the impact of icardi will be huge.
I like the form of the team right now, I think Galatasaray is one of the best playing teams in Turkey. If they make new signings, the team will be much better Smiley
I honestly question why Mauro Icardi came to Türkiye. Like he has a foot similar to Drogba, he may be in top 10 in world if we compare finishers. I didn't see that good finishers even in world cup tournament last month. I guess only if his private life was better, he would be playing in top teams at England or Spain. Icardi will be one of obvious reasons for Galatasaray s success this year in long run. I expect him to score even lot more.

I would say Icardi is one of the best strikers in the world. He is capable of scoring a lot of goals if he gets enough support from other players in the team. Galatasaray's main striker is Icardi. And this season he is showing excellent performance. He scored 6 goals and 4 assists in 9 matches in Galatasaray's jersey. He is consistently able to play well. And Icardi's performance has helped Galatasaray top the points table this season. Galatasaray's performance will not suffer if Icardi is not suffering from injury.

Sevilla got another win in the La Liga lately against Cadiz and their performance was quite convincing for that match. But I still have doubts about their general effort from now on. Because they are still a very unpredictable team now. They got a win before this match as well but its effect didn't last long. We will see if this win will help them improve their game. They had better focus on doing so until the PSV matchup in the Europa League. Because the Europa League looks like their only chance to qualify for a European tournament again.

Or they can try their luck with the Copa del Rey title which gives them a chance to be a part of the Europa League at least.

It was a good performance from Sevilla in this match against Cadiz. And that certainly helped them get out of the relegation zone. But they must not be too happy. Because they are not absolutely clear from danger. If they do not continue performing well, at least if they do not get draws and cannot avoid losses, they are going to find them themselves in the relegation zone again. Because they are only one point clear from getting into the relegation zone again.

I do not know if they will be able to actually concentrate on the Europa League competition. Because they will have to be very careful about not getting relegated in La Liga as well.

whatever the media say, but Arsenal managed to sign a good young player. Jakub Kiwior is a player who will be very good for Arsenal's defense. this season Arsenal does not want to lose their good opportunities. bringing in several players to strengthen the squad is the best choice to maintain the game's current consistency.
Jakub Kiwior is about to develop into himself. maybe even be more powerful when his age becomes more mature and experienced.

Arsenal definitely got a very good defender. But I am just trying to say that it might not be the best thing to hype this player up so much. After all, he is very young. We have seen a lot of players not being able to live up to the expectation in the past.

So, it will be better if people do not expect too much from him. Also, let him actually improve and get settled in the squad. And I also do not think that the money that they spent on this player is too much. This type of money is obviously deserving for a player like him.
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 22, 2023, 08:07:35 PM
I think this incident will affect the morale of the players in a bad way for some time at least. For example I think their performance can change against Atalanta. They might be weaker in defense maybe and even lose the match. I bet on both teams to score not to take a big risk. Of course this isn't guaranteed but I believe in scoring capabilities of both sides. I started to think like this is more of a draw match. It might end up with a score like 1-1 or 2-2 maybe.
Besides I have heard that Vlahovic is more likely to leave the team from now on. Some big teams already have him on their radar for a summer transfer. If Juventus don't finish this season well then we can see him leaving as well.

Atalanta vs Juventus

The match is currently going on and only 16 minutes have been played into this match. And Juventus is already trailing in the match. They are behind by one goal Right now. The score is 1-0 in favor of Atalanta.

You are right. I believe the decision of taking away points is certainly affecting them a lot. And the playstyle of Juventus is also being affected. But Juventus is trying to attack. However, they are failing to successfully break the defense of Atlanta. I feel like the attack are not being so coordinated. It is actually being made out of desperation more than anything.
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: January 20, 2023, 06:58:01 PM
It would definitely be an interesting game to watch. Both teams in their respective leagues are doing well and scoring goals as well. It would be a tough one to predict on who is going to win and how many goals the game would produce.
Manchester United has done much better than Barcelona on the Europa League, but who knows?
The game is still a bit afar off but it’s a much anticipated game   
Well FC Barcelona has not played in Europa League so far in this season because obviously they have played in the group stage of the Champions League. They only managed to reach the third place their and that is the reason why they have to continue in the Europa League now. Usually i would say that the team that comes from the Champions League is the favorite, but i think it is different in that match up. Manchester United definitely is a team that also has the quality to beat every opponent.

I would say Manchester United and Barcelona are almost equally strong right now. This is why it is very difficult to predict which team will qualify for the next round. But in the last match, we saw the Barcelona team dominate and win against an experienced team like Madrid. If this performance continues, it will not be difficult for Barcelona to win against United. But since Barcelona is still not stable. So it is difficult for them to continue to perform consistently well.

Dortmund have a bad season too and they will meet Chelsea, another club that is in crisis too. Dortmund have less experience in Champions League than Chelsea and they have less quality players than Chelsea. Chelsea if playing at their full capacity, will win Dortmund but if Chelsea can not play well, they will face risk of losing against Dortmund.
in the first leg if Dortmund can get a positive result with a win. it will be easy enough for them to survive in the second leg even though in terms of quality Chelsea should be superior.
but if in the first leg, Dortmund has left behind or even with a draw. it will be bad for Dortmund to play in the second leg.
although both teams are currently also in a less good trend. but Chelsea seems to be able to show the quality of their best game later.
I can't say whether Chelsea can show their best game in this match or not, because as we know their performance in the Premier League cannot be expected. But I can't rule out the possibility, maybe Chelsea will show something different, so will Borussia Dortmund. Maybe in the end they will beat each other at home, in the first leg and second leg. Their current odds I think have the same odds.
Between Chelsea and Dortmund, Chelsea's performance is much better. Chelsea is at a fairly good level in the league. On the other hand, Dortmund need a good attacking player now, only then the team will be able to perform well.
Basically both Chelsea and Dortmund , the two teams have experienced a decline in performance if we use last season as a reference. It's difficult to predict the winner between the two at this time, because the new match will take place some time again, the two teams could make big changes considering the transfer market is still open.

If compared to Dortmund, the Chelsea team can be said to be strong. Chelsea will be favorite in this match. However, the performance of both the teams here is now weak. Their performance has decreased. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players is not good enough. And so it is very difficult for Chelsea to win against Dortmund. Since the first match is Chelsea's home match, Chelsea players will be a bit more confident. And confidence is very important to win these matches.

I agree that this was a beautiful comeback by Real Madrid, however they need to work on their defences because it was not upto the high standards set by them. Furthermore I yet believe that Real Madrid can win the La Liga title, because matches like these are a reminder of their champions mentality and thus I believe that this mentality will be the key difference as the season progresses.
Maybe this is a strategy that the Real Madrid club must change as optimally as possible, they have to change a little from their defense to get even better, lately Real Madrid's games have been getting more interesting, even this comeback match is very meaningful for the Real Madrid club, now we believe that Real Madrid will be able to win the La Liga title, even though barcelona slaughtered Real Madrid in the Super Cup match yesterday, we still believe that Real Madrid can win this La Liga Cup.
The strategy implemented by Real Madrid did not work effectively, they were still lucky because the players in the squad were able to show hard work that allowed them to still give their best for the results of the match. I can't imagine when the players who are now key to their game are no longer in the squad. Maybe it will be a very significant decrease. They had to move as quickly as possible to solve the problems they were now facing. In the future the schedule of matches they will play will be very tight, and surely they will be forced to rotate players, and that's when the vulnerability will be even greater.

Real Madrid did not have any control over this match in the first half. I believe that Real Madrid could have done better in the first half and especially on the defensive side of things. I know that Real Madrid has a great record of making comebacks. But that does not disregard the fact that it is still very scary. Real Madrid could have very easily lost that match.

And yes I also agree that Real Madrid will have to play a lot of matches in a very short period of time. So, I think there will be some problems for Real Madrid players to perform consistently in all those matches.
