Juventus' goal productivity level this season is not very good. But the good thing is that Juventus can always win even with a small goal difference. Juventus actually often wins several matches quite dramatically. As if luck was always on their side. But one thing that is certain is that it is all thanks to the intelligence of the coach they have, Allegri.
Juventus, which actually almost experienced bad results in the match against Salernitana, was then able to turn things around thanks to Salernitana who only played with 10 players, which was also like luck. But still, it was all thanks to the good use of opportunities by the Juventus squad.

Yes, there are many clubs that start the season well but slump at the end. But there are also clubs that are having an ordinary season but they can continue to maintain their performance until the end. And I hope Juventus is a club that can maintain their performance until the end. Even though this squad has limited players, so far Allegri has been able to make very good player rotations.
To be fair, their defense is so rock solid that, they do not really feel the need to score a lot, Inter is doing better on that front to be fair, but I think Juventus is close to them for a reason and I think that should be an important case. I believe that there are a few things that Juventus does better, but defense is definitely one of them and should be an important deal.

I think it would not be all that simple to handle the workload the team has this season, they are focusing way too much on the league and they will try to win it no matter what happens. This creates a bit more stress for the players, because every single game matters, it feels as if every game is a finals of something and they need to win it.

You know, Juventus currently has the second best defense in the Serie A if we compare how many goals they have conceded so far. They have only conceded 12. But the problem is the team that is ahead of them which is Inter, has been able to defend better. Inter has conceded three goals less compared to Juventus. And the biggest worry for Juventus should be that they were able to score 15 goals more compared to Juventus.

So either Juventus will have to defend far better. Or they will have to start scoring more goals. Otherwise, it is going to be a problem for them when they go up against Inter in my opinion. Well not only when they go up against Inter, but if they do not improve further, they will not be able to get ahead of Inter. And that is the biggest problem for them. Because whatever they are saying, I know that they want to win the title.

Napoli were a huge disappointment for their fans once again I'm afraid.  Sad  If it weren't for that red card maybe there would have been a chance for Napoli to make a comeback. Mazzocchi is really unbelievable. He entered in the 46th minute and got a direct red card only 4 minutes after that.  Shocked  Just how can you?

The more interesting part is Mazzocchi was signed by Napoli only 3 days ago. This must be the worst start for a player at their new team. Osimhen is out for a while due to national selection so a really bad time period might be waiting for Napoli until he comes back.  Sad

The way Napoli is playing right now, they are definitely not defending the title successfully. They are towards the mid-table right now. And with the current performance that they are showing, I do not see them actually improving anytime soon. They are in the 9th position right now and there are a lot of teams ahead of them which it shouldn't be in my opinion. They are the defending champion and I do not think that any defending champion can actually fall off in such a way and actually be able to rise back up and defend the title successfully. I think it is going to be a problem for them. Actually, it might be a problem for them to finish in the top four, to be honest.

The results that follows when a club doesn't stand strong enough and have experience of deep losses have baffled Arsenal. They're currently not anticipating in any solid tournaments except the UEFA Champions League and also a little bit revival in the English Premier League. Goals are scored in every match and we just hoped things go smooth for the Gunners. Arsenal working currently on restructuring their team this season. They have been through alot of disastrous form and I hoped Mikel Arteta will definitely bounce his team back to the winning form the fans and the board desires.
Arsenal basically didn't want that defeat and they have tried their best to win it. Liverpool were luckier in taking their chances than Arsenal, even if Arsenal had more big chances wasted. Of course this has a bad impact on Arsenal, but this defeat proves that Arsenal always have difficulty appearing higher than other teams.
Arsenal really need a winning mentality, they don't have it at the moment even though I think Arsenal have a good chance of winning. It's difficult to get results like that when the team's performance is quite good when starting the match, but what can you do, Arsenal failed with all their good chance. Arteta and everyone in the team are responsible for the defeat, so they have to get up and try to do better.

Nobody will say that Arsenal played badly in this match. They tried to score until the end of the match. They attacked more than Liverpool. But even then the Arsenal team is not able to win. They can't even score a single goal.

Arsenal players were able to create a lot of scoring opportunities in this match. But due to the lack of experienced striker, they could not score a single goal. We have seen poor performances from Arsenal's forwards in the last few matches. If the performance of these players does not improve, the Arsenal team will fall far behind in the title race.

Arsenal tried a lot to win the match against Liverpool. But they were unable to do so. Now I don't want to say that Arsenal won't be able to actually get back to the good form that they were in back a few weeks but it sure looks to be very hard for them to do right now. They have not done very well in the last 5 matches. Far better was expected from them.

I don't know if we can say it's all because of their mentality or not. Of course, they are not in the best shape right now.
So the mentality is not going to be the best at this moment. But they should be inspired if they think about the previous performance they were doing.
They were literally the best and 1st team on the table of EPL. they have what it takes to get back at the top again for sure.

There are far too many rumours surrounding Mbappe's move to Real Madrid, but only if there is a statement from Mbappe himself, Real Madrid, or even PSG will I consider it a reliable source of information to follow up on his transfer. Fabrizio Romano is also a reliable source for this type of information. So, for the time being, we will wait for official statement from any of the parties involved in the transfer. Mbappe's future at PSG remains uncertain, and it will take until the end of the season to determine where he will play next or whether he will extend his contract again at PSG which many people doubts so.
Apart from the many reports that are happening now, especially for various rumors for Mbappe, Fabrizio's tweet should actually be an answer that can at least be accounted for because by saying that until now there is still no agreement for Mbappe's future, the current rumors are indirectly refuted when linking Mbappe with several clubs such as Madrid or Liverpool when Mbappe's camp about Mbappe's future is always a mystery and indirectly this tells us that Mbappe will still remain at PSG until his contract is completed.

The statement about some Mbappe rumors is actually difficult when looking for references from some media that are not very responsible because they only think that this is their selling point so we need to look for sources that are really reliable for Mbappe's problems because in the end we must be aware that such rumors will always exist especially for a Mbappe who we know he is one of the most highlighted young players today.


I think what Fabrizio has said about Mbappe is more than enough for us to say what state they are in right now. Mbappe won't be leaving PSG anytime soon or at least this January. Mbappe's camp has said that he has not decided yet and since it's already 1 week in January. If the move were to happen, we would have already heard something from Fabrizio or some other rumors. Although we have heard something about them, Fabrizio's statement makes it clear that nothing is going on between them.

It is reported that Timo Werner will soon join Spurs and he will undergo a medical test to prepare himself as Spurs' recruit this January. Timo Werner will soon sign a loan contract from Leipzig after he undergoes the medical test and this will be his second time returning to the EPL after previously wearing the Chelsea jersey several seasons ago.

Timo Werner certainly can't wait to be able to compete again in the most competitive league and considering that he rarely gets playing minutes at Leipzig, he has to prove at Spurs that he is still very worthy of being a mainstay on the front line. Timo Werner will also start training with the Spurs squad next week and soon we will see him make his debut wearing the Spurs jersey under the tutelage of coach Ange.
I will be happy for Timo Werner if he returns to the Premier League because he is not getting enough playing time at the German side Leipzig, and Tottenham will need all the support they need in the front line since they sold their main striker Kane during the summer transfer before the beginning of the season. Tottenham will also be happy to have him because of his Premier League experience. He will not like some of the players they signed who have yet to adapt to the Premier League style of play completely; he will continue his form in the Premier League.

I think this would be a good move for both Spurs and Timo Werner. You know, any player would want to play in the premier league and Timo Werner is also experienced. He played for Chelsea and he was in the Champions League winning squad of Chelsea. Although he has the experience and all the capability to win trophies but I think he was unlucky in the Chelsea squad. However, he is doing good in RB Leipzig again, and I believe he will help fill the void of SON’s absence in the Spur's squad after he went to play the Asia Cup.

And I see that Arda Guler's performance is still quite far below many people's expectations.
Eventually Guller can play, although it seems that Ancelotti is very careful. It was reported that Ancelotti would feature against Mallorca but that was not done because Ancelotti was worried about Mallorca's aggressive style of play.
Looking at Guller's appearance, he was pretty good. Guller was able to organize attacks and provide several key passes. Although Arandina's quality is far below Real Madrid, Guller still needs to prove himself capable of competing to play in La Liga or UCL. Indeed, when viewed in terms of posture, he looks small, he just needs to continue to train and increase muscle time.
Getting at least 58 minutes of playing time in the Copa del Rey match against Arandina is at least a warm-up match for Arda Guler at this moment. because of course it would be very risky if Arda Guler played the full 90 minutes in a difficult match in La Liga. Therefore, it seems natural that Ancelotti only brought Arda Guler in the previous match in La Liga even though he only played Mallorca, at least Ancelotti also didn't want to take a big risk because Ancelotti didn't play Arda Guler in that match against Mallorca and Arda Guler was only on the bench.
At least, by getting playing minutes in matches that are not too difficult, Arda Guler will slowly be able to adjust or adapt again to playing in the Real Madrid squad. Of course, there is no problem with this method considering that Arda Guler is still very young and yes, of course there is still a lot of time that Arda Guler can use to get good chemistry and performance in the Real Madrid main squad.
I would not say it was a warm-up match for him. I know that you didn't mean in that way, but some people could understand it that way. The pressure has been building massively and Ancelotti made the right decision to slowly help him to get accustomed with that pressure and this game was a good opportunity to do that. But Ancelotti decided to rotate a lot of players, which I think can be both positive and negative when you are trying to integrate young talents into the team.

Ancelotti experimented with his squad in today's match. He probably tried to understand the potential of the young players in his squad. Arda Guler performed well today. However, he could not score or assist. However, the performance of young player Nicolas Paz was not good enough. Naturally experienced Brahim Diaz and Joselu played well enough. We also saw good performances from Camavinga and Ceballos. However, my focus was on Guler's performance in today's match. Arda Guler is expected to become a regular player in the Madrid squad.

India W VS Australia W 2nd T-20
[....]
If we see current situation of match Indian women squad batting inning and Australian women squad bowling inning then Australia women squad have high possibility to emerge victory in this second match. Indiam women sqaud successfully played 14 overs and they collected only 87 scores  and also lost 4 batters. Remaining 6 overs are left for play and I hope India women sqaud will collect 50 more scores and total they made 130 scores almost. If they made this scores then they have low possibility for victory. Indian women squad already lead by one match and if they lost this match they this competition would be tied and in last final match decide that who will win this competition. Currently, Pooja Vastrakar  and Deepti Sharma  batters are batting on crease and now they lost 5 wickets.

Deepti Sharma's responsible batting allowed the Indian team to set a descent target of 131 runs. Deepti Sharma collected 31 runs from 27 balls. India collected 130 runs after losing 8 wickets in 20 overs.

A target of 131 runs cannot be called a small target. This is a good enough target. If the bowlers are able to bowl controlled from the beginning of the innings then India has a chance to win. Because in the first T20 match we saw that the Australian batsmen could not bat very well. So the match is likely to be competitive. And in today's match both the teams have equal chances of winning so far.

I don't think Australia women will face any big problem to win the target of 131 runs. Because Australia women's batsmen are very experienced. Since the target is not too big, they will not rush to score runs. At the end of 5 overs, Australia women team managed to collect 36 runs and they are yet to lose any wicket. If they don't lose quick wickets then Australia will definitely win this match. 131 off 120 balls is easy for a team like Australia. They have several talented and experienced batsmen in their squad.

So, did you count the won against preston north as a big achievement for chelsea? It's not yet mate. The main problem that must be sorted out by chelsea is on the EPL. this club performs so garbage once it was facing the low tier club in EPL.
The players were playing better coz preston made some blunders. Look at when preston player wrongly passing the ball to the chelsea's player. The result against preston is not convincing me to think that chelsea is now going back to the championship's level again.
It was very painful in the first half coz chelsea played so badly. The club is just getting better at the second half. But you know that chelsea has its in game management works pretty well during the second half.
If it was Liverpool or Manchester City, they can score more than 4 goals against Preston. Tongue

It's normal for Premier League's club humiliating Championship's club regardless how bad they're in Premier League, both of them are on different level. Chelsea isn't yet become a black horse in Premier League, they need to prove many matches especially against Manchester City or Liverpool.

As I saw the performance of Preston's players, I thought Chelsea would score more goals. Chelsea dominated the entire match. The Preston team is relatively weak. They conceded 4 goals even after playing defensively. Preston would have conceded more if Manchester City or Liverpool were the opponents.

But I am happy to see Chelsea's performance. Because even after winning this match, the confidence of Chelsea players will increase. If the players are confident, they should play better in the Premier League matches as well. Chelsea's players have the ability to play well as they showed in the matches against Tottenham and City. Hopefully Chelsea will play well against Fulham in the next Premier League match.

Personally, I think Sevilla will not be relegated, even though we already know the detailed statistics and reputation of their performance in the first half of the season. If Ramos and colleagues can target points from just average clubs, then they can stay in La Liga next season, in my opinion that is the easiest scenario for Sevilla.

snip
Relegation is steering at Sevila in the face and it will take almost a miracle to safe them this time,  and I agree with the fact that if their are able to accumulate high points in the second round,  it may likely be possible for Sevila to stay off relegation again in this season just like their did escape in the last season.

But for the fact that,  it is not only Sevila that is battling to escape relegation in the next round,  other clubs that are of the same category and performance with them that have same problem of none performance in that last couple of matches in this round of the league,  such as Cadiz and Almara who will likely face sevila in the next round,  this clubs could pause a threat to Sevila success in this season and how possible for them to escape relegation.

Sevilla is literally playing with fire and I think this time they could burn themselves big time if they don't improve everything from their defense to their offense.

Granada and Celta Vigo both won their games and closed the gap and now it is only 1 point away from the relegation zone. But over the coming weeks they will face relatively good opponents and it wouldn't surprise me if we soon see them sitting on a relegation position.

The fans are also turning against them, which means everything is set up quite well for the catastrophe to enfold.

I don't think Sevilla would be actually relegated. But it will be a very fierce fight. They just can’t seem to be winning any matches these days. They had to let many key players go in the previous season and their current situation is not looking very good. Their downfall started in the last season and now it is even worse.

I think if Sevilla just wins a match right now, we can call them safe from Relegation for now. They need to win every 3-4 matches to stay safe from the relegation zone. I don't think Almeria or Granada will be getting over them. Their fight will be with Cadiz and Celta Vigo. It just does not feel good to see a team with this history go down due to these financial situations.

I really agree with what you say if we just need to relax a little and enjoy every performance presented by Bayern Munich and we don't need to doubt that in history Munich has always succeeded in winning the Bundesliga title even though I want Leverkusen to stay in first place longer but that's all just to get rid of boredom for a moment because usually you see Bayern Munich easily reach first place but this season it is difficult for Leverkusen who is in first position.
I still have great confidence that Bayern munich is currently only focused on winning the trophy in the Champions League and certainly at the end of the season Bayern Munich will succeed in taking over Leverkusen.
It cannot be denied that the current competition is highly anticipated by football fans, especially the Bundesliga, this will make the competition even more interesting and I even hope that Leverkusen will break Bayern Munich's dominance in winning the Bundesliga title.

And because Leverkusen's strength this season is so strong that it threatens Bayern Munich's position in defending the title, it will definitely damage the concentration of the Bayern Munich team to focus on the UCL match, I believe so and many people believe that Bayern Munich will again be able to take the top of the standings from Leverkusen in the end Next season there will definitely be sacrifices and that will be quite difficult.
The most interesting thing is the competition itself, regardless of who will be the Bundesliga champions this season. A competition that amazes everyone, because Laverkusen with its consistency is able to change the image of the Bundesliga from a boring league to a more attractive one in the eyes of football fans. On the other hand, Laverkusen is a club that should be used as a role model, that competing in competitions does not require having a star studded squad.

Ups and downs in performance can of course come to a club at any time, but we hope that Laverkusen and Bayern can continue to consistently compete until the end of the season, as can Stuttgart, Leipzig and Dortmund. The challenges faced in the future will be more difficult, such as a busy match schedule, but that is the attraction of a club when it is able to overcome it well.

Yes, I agree with you totally about the fact that Bundesliga got more interesting than in previous seasons. Bayern Munich used to dominate the Bundesliga and it was not as fun as other top European leagues. But I think this season we are having a pretty good Bundesliga season. Not only Bayern are dominating, some other teams are also putting up a fight against them.

Xabi is doing a very extraordinary job with Bayer Leverkusen and that is why he is able to overtake Bayern Munich in the table. I would agree with you about what you said about UCL and Bayern Munich. matches are coming up, it is going to be very tough for them to keep up with tough schedules. And then they have to beat every team like Bayer Leverkusen if they want to win the Bundesliga right now. February is going to be tough for them as in that month, there will be Bayern Munich's match against Bayer Leverkusen and then UCL playoffs. They should increase their squad depth to keep up with these tough schedules in this winter transfer market.

However, this possibility is still just a rumor because in fact Liverpool has not said clearly that they will sell Mohammed Salah to Saudi Arabia because the terms of the sale must reach a joint decision, not just one-sided if Salah doesn't want to go there, if I think about it, it looks like Liverpool will still keep him at least until the season This ended because Salah role is still very important and Liverpool will not necessarily be able to replace Salah with another player if it is possible that Salah will leave transfer market this January, while Mbappe will not necessarily immediately accept the offer.
Liverpool can survive without these key players. After all Mohammed Salah is leaving for the AFCON but it doesn't mean he won't come back, he will be present in Anfield before any opponents will start tendering threats. Jurgen Klopp always know what to do to secure his territory, no invasion will be completed because Liverpool will continue to record streak winnings, they're leading team on the table, they will be ready to execute good positioning. Rumors holding on the Egypt international regarding Mohammed Salah moving to Saudi Pro League.

@Josefjix normally I would say Salah won’t be sold but suddenly Mbappe is linked with them and there’s no way that they can fund such a move without selling off Salah. However I’m not sure if Klopp will want to lose Salah because Salah has consistently performed for him and there’s no guarantee that Mbappe will be an instant success in the Premier league because French league is relatively easy hence who knows if he’ll actually succeed or not.

I don't think for this season, if Salah joins another club, that Liverpool can survive. Their attacking backbone is Salah. He has been carrying that for a few years. If he goes to play AFCON for a few matches then Liverpool can probably recover but if he leaves permanently then that is going to damage them a lot. If they don’t bring any good substitute, they are going to suffer I think.

Talking about substitutes, I don't think Mbappe will join Liverpool. He does not seem interested. Real Madrid might get him next season considering they don’t have a number 9 right now. They said they won't be signing any new player this season but I think next season they will be signing Mbappe. So Mbappe being linked to Liverpool is just a rumor after all. Last year we heard rumors about Salah joining the Saudi club but it was a rumor after all. But this season rumors seem stronger so I don’t know man.
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 05, 2024, 02:22:21 PM
Yeah you're right, this season is different from previous seasons there are at least 4-5 teams that take their place at the top of the standings but not for long time this means that no team is truly consistent and there are always obstacles, currently Liverpool are at the top of the standings but in the next few weeks their mainstay players will be absent because they play with their country. On the other hand, Manchester City seems more prepared with its main squad  and we can see improvement in this team.

Manchester city has not been using its best line up. I remind you that if we have been missing de bruyne since the early season and you know what? It was affecting the gameplay of manchester city. It must be noted that if manchester city was not on its best and so, i expect to perform less good compared to the when it was winning treble winners last season. We can't still consider manchester city as a weak team. In fact, manchester city was still able winning a trophy for this season. It's just matter of time until de bruyne will be coming again and he will be making other teams feel scared with city. I am expressing this opinion solely based on the fact that Manchester City is putting in tremendous effort to perform at an even higher level despite the absence of some key players.

The city's performance is likely to improve when Haaland and De Bruyne start playing together, and we can expect great things from them. As you can see that how de bruyne was able helping haaland to create its record.
I really miss to see how haaland and de bruyne to play together like there would be none able to stop them to win everything. I believe that time will come again in the future.
Manchester city can only use the available players right now but i do believe city will able to perform even better than before.

I mean their performance has already started to get better and they already went ahead of Arsenal in the League table. Now that Salah is gone from Liverpool to play in the AFCON, I think Liverpool might drop some points. This will be the time for Manchester City to get their top spot back. But I think you guys are mistaken.

Yes, De Bruyne and Haaland are the ones who score and give the team leads. But I believe the most crucial member of their team is Rodri. Just compare the stats this season in where he played and where he did not. As far as I can remember he was injured for around 3-4 matches and Manchester City barely won 1. The rest they drew or lost. Haaland's absence can be somewhat substituted by Alvarez but I think there is none like Rodri's. But he is back from the injury and I don’t think there is anything stopping them. They just wait for the teams above them to drop points.

I don't think it's going to happen. But remember Newcastle are a rich club when he offers a higher salary who wouldn't be tempted? Doing the job is looking at the money, but I never know what will happen.

Yes I don't think it will happen in the middle of the season now if something happens it will be at the end of the season, but we will see if Girona will keep Sanchez or not? It could be that when he is brilliant he asks for a raise and Girona are not able to then there other clubs become an opportunity to recruit him.

I think so! My hunch is that he'll stay with Girona and could even bring the LaLiga title this season, it's not impossible is it?

Asides Newcastle, he's currently being linked with Bayern Munich and even if he wants the switch, I'd advice him to make the move to Bayern Munich. Moving to Bayern Munich can not be possible because they have no plans sacking Thomas Tuchel who's already won a trophy in his first season. He should put more focus towards the Champions League that's should be the aim of Bayern Munich.

The President of Girona, Pere Guardiola is ready to see him take his own decisions and if he wants to taje the move to Munich, he'll be the driver of the car as they ride him to Munich.

There's nothing impossible to achieve, 19 games out of 38 and they currently occupy second place with equal points with Real Madrid. How they play the next 19 games would determine the ending. Godspeed with whatever holds em in the future.

First of all, I don't think Bayern Munich won’t be changing their manager considering how they are performing. They are doing very well compared to previous seasons. Yes, they are currently 2nd in the Bundesliga but that is due to the extraordinary performance by Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern Munich has lost only once and Leverkusen is undefeated and that is the only difference. Tuchel is doing very well. The Bayern Board knows that as well.

As for Newcastle, I don’t think Eddie Howe needs to be changed at all. His team suffered from big injuries. Some of his key players such as Callum Wilson, Targett are injured. That definitely affected their performance. But I believe he could have performed better. Saudi Owners probably could change him. But I don't think Girona's manager is the one though. He is not that experienced compared to the others. The Premier League is the biggest league in the world and I don't think he is prepared for that.

Celta Vigo are trying to get out of the bottom of the standings.The home team managed to win at home against Real Betis yesterday and increased their points to 16.This win was important for them because their opponents were not easy.I think better days await Celta Vigo, who had plenty of positions at home and won with a last minute goal.
Girona was the winner in the most important and strange match of the day.Girona continues to be legendary this season.Girona beat Atletico Madrid 4-3 and we can say that Girona is almost like other big teams.I did not expect such a result, I expected at least a 2-1 win, but they are really good this season.Girona started the match fast and managed to take the lead in the 2nd minute and there were 5 goals in the first half.In the 54th minute, Morata scored the 3rd goal of both his team and himself, while Atletico Madrid lost away with a goal in the last minute.

The Girona and Atletico Madrid match was a treat to the eyes. The Girona players scored a goal in the extra time of the second half. Alvaro Morata scored his hat trick in the match as well. I was concerned about how Girona's performance would be after they just lost the top spot but it looks like they got the fight in them. It is very assuring for me because La Liga will still be very interesting.

Celta Vigo had a very tough victory against Real Betis which put them out of the Relegation Zone which is very good for them. Just like the Girona match, Real Betis scored the winning goal in the extra time of the 2nd half. What a night it was in La Liga!

A very tough match between PSG and Toulouse but it ended with PSG happily getting the title they wanted.
At first I couldn't believe that Toulouse in the League 1 match didn't appear this strong, but in yesterday's match, Toulouse looked very strong, able to put up resistance and even put strong pressure on PSG's defense, but no matter how strong Toulouse hard work was, it would only be in vain because PSG still had a scoring machine like Mbappe who will continue to struggle to provide a score in every match and by scoring 1 score Mbappe sealed yesterday's victory and managed to lift the trophy.
Yesterday, I didn't think Toulouse would do so well against PSG, but boys, did they surprise me! Toulouse played really, really good. They were like superheroes on the soccer field yesterday, giving PSG a tough time. Toulouse tried to score six times, but they couldn't put the ball into the goal. PSG, on the other hand, only had five tries, but they managed to score two goals. That's a big deal because it shows PSG is a super strong team with really talented players. I'm so happy for Luis Enrique, the coach.

I agree with you. Toulouse players played very well in this match. Toulouse is a relatively weak team. So no one expected the Toulouse side to be able to put up such a tough resistance against a big team like PSG. Everyone thought the match would be completely one-sided.

Although Toulouse's players performed well in the second half, we saw PSG's dominance in the first half. Lee Kang-in scored only 3 minutes into the match. However, Toulouse's players tried hard to score. But the performances of PSG defenders and goalkeepers were very good. Goalkeeper Donnarumma made several key saves. If Donnarumma did not play well, it would have been difficult for PSG to win this match.

Well, even though Arsenal have had some bad results recently, that doesn't mean that Arsenal have lost the title race this season. Because there is still a lot of time left. There are still at least 18 matches this season that Mikel Arteta and his troops, namely the Arsenal squad, must really take advantage of this season to reach the top of the standings. Currently Arsenal has the same number of points as Manchester City but has a 5 point difference with Liverpool who are at the top of the standings. Well this won't be easy for Arsenal. But they still have a chance.
Manchester City and Arsenal are the only EPL clubs that are promising to do better this season, it's quite improving to watch how these clubs have grown to become very competitive and strong enough to withstand any pressure coming in. Arsenal have been out for long time and their return means they're ready to compete with full strength and they will be able to hit harder for good scores on point. Mikel Arteta is lucky enough to have his team still present in the UEFA Champions League competition, they're absolutely doing great and scoring high points to push their strength to new levels unluck.

Manchester City have performed quite well in their last few matches. And their performance seems to show that the team is back on track and will do well again. Will continue to fight for the title. But Arsenal's performance has deteriorated. In the last 5 matches, this team managed to win only one match. They have lost their last two matches. And Arsenal dropped from the top of the table to the fourth place in the table very quickly due to losing points in several matches in a row. Despite playing one more match than Manchester City, Arsenal's position in the table is behind Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team is in a bad position at the moment. If the players can't return to form quickly then the Arsenal team will be knocked out of the title fight.

Cagliari is 18th in the table, at this moment they would be relegated to Serie B
He has 14 points, and has therefore lost many games, there is a reason. Furthermore, the company has problems and therefore I give it to Serie B with a 90% certainty.
It's not surprising that when talking about Cagliari this season, the inconsistency in the last few weeks has made Cagliari's decline in Serie A worse, of course their threat is to be kicked out of Serie B. From 18 matches they have experienced 10 defeats, 3 wins and 5 draws, certainly a bad achievement. For this season, the Cagliari squad still has the opportunity to get up and get away from the relegation zone, at least being more consistent in finding points in every match.
Cagliari is only a promoted team and if for example Cagliari is relegated at the end of the season then ya, I think it is still a reasonable result. But ya, even though Cagliari is only a promotion team and is in the relegation zone at this moment, but I think the results that Cagliari have gotten so far this season are not bad at all. Because after all, the fact is that Cagliari still has a great chance to get out of the relegation zone.

Considering Cagliari current points tally is 14 points and the same as Verona who are currently in 17th position. Also, Salernitana who are at the bottom of the table who only have 12 points this moment, but the reality is that Salernitana also still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone. So ya, with their points gap like this, I think the teams that are in the relegation zone at this moment certainly still have a chance to get out of the red zone, because they still have a close points gap that of course they will still be able to compete.

Only half of the season has gone and any team can turn anytime using the January transfer window. But I don't think that would happen to Caligari. They are doing alright considering they just got promoted to Serie A. They went to the Round of 16 in Copa Italia and lost to AC Milan 4-1. But I don't think it is out of the ordinary that Caligari is in the relegation zone.

They have the same points as the team in 17th position. So it is too early to say that they would be relegated. Let more time to go and the relegation battle might get very very interesting.

Perth Scorchers taking on Adelaide Strikers today in the Big Bash League. Perth is in better position as far as points table is concerned, as they have won 3 out of 4 matches so far. Adelaide on the other hand has won just one out of the 5 matches played so far. Anyway, Perth has started well and they are 21/0 after 2.4 overs. Sam Whiteman and Zak Crawley are at the crease. They have a solid top and middle order, consisting of Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis and Laurie Evans. Adelaide bowlers on the other hand are mostly inexperienced.

Perth Scorchers have given a huge target of 212 runs to Adelaide Strikers. Adelaide Strikers are in terrible state at points table and it looks like they will lose this match as well. Full entertaining innings from Laurie Evans, he scored 85 runs on 28 balls that include 7 sixes and 7 fours. Adelaide Strikers have also started there run chase and at the end of 2 overs they have scored 18 runs without losing any wicket.


What Laurie Evans has done is once in a lifetime. I don't think anyone will lose after playing that kind of inning. Matt Short did try to copy him but it was not enough. But Adelaide did try after all and props should be given. Lance Morris bowled amazingly for the Perth Scorchers. I mean look at the economy, 6.00. He got 5 kills after maintaining this economy which is crazy. If you have players like these in your team, you won't lose and that's what is happening to Perth. They are still unbeaten.

I think Napoli chances in each match have decreased along with their current decline in form. As defending champions, beating Torino should be an easy job for Mazzarri squad, but currently the job has become very difficult. Looking at Napoli record this season, I think there is very little to be proud of, so it is not surprising that many people say that Napoli this season is very bad.

The match against Torino can be used to create a turning point in performance for Napoli. I agree that if Mazzarri still fails to manage the club consistently, De Laurentiis will return to hunting for a new manager in the second half of the season. An additional 3 points will boost Napoli position in the standings, and they have the opportunity to overtake Roma and Atalanta if they both draw.

I would also say that this season Napoli is too bad with the status of defending champion. The performance has been very unstable even though they have basically hired two different coaches in one season. The squad is no different, it's just that the team's performance and changes in strategy affect the game which makes Napoli weaker.

Napoli need to get up and try as hard as they can to return to the top 4. They should try to end this season in the Champions League places, I think that is the best target for Napoli instead of retaining the title. They know what their weaknesses are, but the team is struggling to find their best form.

I mean Napoli still got some quality players who won them the Serie A last season after all. But the thing is they are not able to perform at that level. The new manager came in and tried to deliver but he just couldn’t. Napoli just had a draw against Monza. And they are not that good of a team. With this performance of theirs, I think anybody can win this match, to be honest.

But of course, I will believe that Napoli will win this match because after all they got all the advantages to them. Napoli is currently in the 8th position and the more matches are played the further they are from the top 4 spot.  Torino are not doing good either but they are not known for doing good. Napoli has everything to lose in this match.
