Yeah PSV is in a better situation, even Peter Bosz's squad is currently at the top of the Eredivisie competition standings. but it is not an easy matter for them to beat Dortmund in the round of 16 meeting. The reason is, PSV also experienced problems when playing their match in the Group B phase of the Champions League. of 6 matches, two wins, 3 draws and one loss. In the group B phase, PSV had a little difficulty when playing the matches against Lens and Sevilla. IMO, for me, PSV's only advantage against Dortmund is playing at home in the first leg. That's why, currently the bookies are favoring the home team over Borussia Dortmund.

On the other hand, Dortmund experienced a decline in performance, especially at the start of this season. Even though Dortmund is in 4th place in the Bundesliga, Terzic has to work hard so that his team can get three points even with an ugly win. It's just that Dortmund is a team whose performance is quite difficult to predict. Plus, Dortmund's problem is with pure strikers who have difficulty completing their tasks as goal scorers. That's why, this season, Dortmund is having difficulty improving its performance. However, in fact, Dortmund was able to become first place in the Group F phase even though they had to work hard to occupy it. in fact, they are capable of doing so. in the last 3 matches in their Domestic League, Dortmund's performance is quite impressive even though their opponents are mediocre teams. especially in the two matches Fullkrug started to contribute in terms of scoring goals. especially in the match against Bochum. The pattern that Terzic applies to his team is quite effective. Niclas Fullkrug scores his first hat trick. 4-2-2-2, looks like it will be Terzic's mainstay pattern in the middle of this season. by pairing Fullkrug and Moukoko on the front lines. Well, we'll see when these two teams meet. Plus, I'm still following Dormund's development pattern, especially the pattern that Terzic will apply in every match.

In last few years, we are having one of the best team for the Nigeria which is having perfect package for me because their attack and defense having good depth which is important for the win in big events and their performance in this last game was at the top which is surely giving all the best for the coming matches. Lookman and Victor Osimhen both were doing their best job which allow them to have perfect win in this important match and now with this they are into last eight of the cup.

Now the best thing happening after few years peoples are talking about them, and they are surely had the best things which are needed by quality team to stay into hunt for the title with this performance now few weak points could be gone under shadow, but they need to act better and have things on well-balanced side because any mistake can make life difficult for them.

I saw that the odds is not even worth with the risk. I think that liverpool will use the same line up as the previous games. The only thing that will make it different if liverpool may be trying to rotate some players. Im only thinking that if betting on the 1x2 can be considered as easy win but it is not even offering worthy odds.
I would prefer to take under 5 rather than it caused by im sure the total from this game will not be more than 5. Over 3 is also offering a high risk bet too. Liverpool is going to win this game easily but the hardest thing to predict which score that is going to happen soon.

Norwich was a mediocre team and seeing btts looks like impossible to happen with this club. Im only saying based on my experience. Liverpool is now offering the good chance to get easy money but i prefer to took the risk by betting ont he different option.
I think that i will take under 5 for this match. Im sure that liverpool will not score a lot of goals against norwice city. Winning with three points will be good achievement by the club. The team needs only to target FA cup.

The difference is five points from Nice who just won narrowly against Metz and that is quite a significant victory because they can maintain their position in the champions league for next season but PSG has not played their match against Brest which will be held today with PSG's opportunity to get three points quite big because Brest, who is in third place in the standings, has only been able to hold a draw in 1 of their many meetings with PSG, so PSG will maximize this so that they can increase the gap with Nice and ensure the title more quickly and if they succeed in qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League, they will can concentrate on the tighter competition.

The Marseille vs Monaco match looked quite tough with two red cards that Monaco players had to receive and this result was as I previously predicted and for Marseille, this was quite detrimental because they could not maximize their ability to score more goals even though their opponents played with fewer players. Only two were goals from nine shots on target and for Monaco, this was quite good because they could get a point even if only one from this quite tough match.

After having watched a good League Cup final, with Braga's victory, we returned to the competition, with the following games:

Yes, this should be a serious concern, where goals that are easily conceded should be immediately repaired because the goalkeeper or back line is not good. Looking at the match against Villareal yesterday, of course it is very regrettable, why is it so easy for Villarela to break through Barcelona's goal so easily with up to 5 goals, that is necessary really serious improvements, Xavi's resignation as coach actually disappointed the fans even though maybe for him the decision was right because he felt he had failed in several title races.

I think actually he didn't really fail because last season Barcelona managed to get the title in Laliga, only failure in several title races I think there is no problem because all of that requires a process that really takes time to make the team better, learn from failure so that it can to get better, it's a shame to hear that he will step down from Barcelona as coach even though I think Xavi is very suitable at Barcelona and I'm not sure there is another coach who can make Barcelona rise from adversity and it will certainly take much longer. whatever it is, the decision must be respected and yesterday's defeat must be corrected immediately because it is important to maintain their position in the top four of La Liga this season for Barcelona as well as the UCL which they will still play against Napoli later.

I don't think the Saudi league is very important, it's only heard about with transfers and that's it, personally I haven't heard anyone watching the Saudi league, it's a useless league for me.

I hope Sacha Boey will do well there, he contributed a lot to Galatasaray. I want Boey to be successful.

I see on Wikipedia that Kloop started coaching in 2001 in Mainz youth team and will probably end his career with Liverpool in 2024. This means that he has been thinking for 23 years about how to produce a team that does not lose. So if maybe he was tired, it was a reasonable excuse. Maybe he feels bored with his current job. Achievements at Liverpool are also good, he managed to give 7 titles in 8 years with Liverpool. Maybe if at the end of this season he can get the championship it will be a phenomenal farewell.

About Xabi, i thing Liverpool must be work hard to get Xabi. In Leverkusen He is very accomplished. Although indeed rumors of closeness with Real Madrid have been answered, because Ancelotti extended a new contract, he will not go to Real Madrid. But going to Liverpool also seems a little difficult, but maybe it can happen.

Klopp clearly said that he is running out of energy, while Klopp did mention age and the toll of coaching on him, and his style of management is based on mainly energy. The idea that Klopp might be leaving on a high note that ensures that he is remembered for his successful tenure aligns with the notion of leaving at the peak of one's career. It's a sentiment shared by many in various professions who want to be remembered for their achievements and positive contributions.

Klopp's legacy at Liverpool has been remarkable, and the timing of his departure may indeed play a role in how fans and the football community remember him. It's also worth considering that personal factors can contribute to a coach's decision to step away from a position, irrespective of age. In the end, understanding the motivations behind a coach's decision can be complex, and Klopp's departure will likely be viewed through a combination of factors, including his desire to leave on a high and the acknowledgment of his own personal limits in managing the pressures of coaching at the highest level.

Empoli was bad but juventus was playing even bad than empoli. Im not talking about the power owned by club but intermilan should be winning against it. This result is only adding another bad result for juventus. it was also really hurting the current standing of juventus caused by intermilan will be also far away from juventus.
Juventus's squad was not playing really well when it was imssing an important player. It was unnecessary foul from juventus's players. Im feeling so happy to see that juventus was doing it right. Empoli has been performing very well in this game.

It was able getting draw against the team that was performing even better than it. I do appreciate all of efforts from all of empoli's players and this is not the result wanted by bettors.
Im thinking that if allegri will be somad caused by his team has been missing very important match with only 1 point. Empoli must be feeling so happy caused by the club was able stealing 1 point from the strong club like juventus.

Old lady needs to make proper preparation till the end of season to make sure the same situation will not be happening again. i do appreciate all of work from empoli's players. They were showing amazing performance.

Maybe you are wrong, Bayern Munich managed to win the title last season dramatically after Dortmund failed to win their last match by having the same points but Bayern Munich was ahead on Agg goals.

In terms of quality, I think Bayern Munich this season is better than last season, but this season they often cannot maintain their consistency and also on the other hand, their competitor this season is Leverkusen and the Leverkusen team has strength and consistency throughout this season so now they have managed to become leaders of the standings. while the Bundesliga.

In Bayern Munich's last 3 matches, it is clear that they are in decline in form, even though they have managed to win 2 of their last 3 matches, but in terms of quality their team seems to be in decline and they are having difficulty winning matches even though they are against lower level teams.
I think Tauchel must be able to evaluate and improve the performance of the Bayern Munich team otherwise their percentage of being able to defend the title will become smaller.

I'm starting to doubt Barcelona will be able to go far in the Champions League this season, the setbacks they're experiencing are real, and the latest result was when they lost to Villareal and that was after they were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey this season.
It's obviously not going to be easy for Xavi Hernandez and the players as they will be up against much stronger clubs in the Champions League. If they continue like this then Napoli will be able to eliminate them easily in the round of 16. The problem is that they can't do anything big in the transfer market because they have financial problems that don't allow them to spend more money to have a more solid squad. The key is to stick with the players they have at the moment.

A team as big as Liverpool is definitely targeting champions in all the competitions they participate in and the focus I think they will do is do their best in every match in all the tournaments they participate in.
For the EPL it will certainly be difficult and fierce and in fact this always happens every season because the teams in the EPL have sufficient strength so that there is fierce competition at the top of the standings.
And the Europa League is also a prestigious trophy which of course every team will do or use their best strength here to win it.
With Liverpool's current performance and of course the great motivation for them to make this season a farewell to Klopp, of course the percentage of Liverpool being able to win the Europa League is much greater in my opinion.

How long is needed by the fans to understand that if it's not any player who can keep their performance to be consistent anytime? Leao is just facing the downgrade moment on his career and this is a common thing in the football. The same thing was also happening with his friend in acmilan pulisic when he was still playing on chelsea. It was also making the situation even worst caused by leao was one of important player owned by acmilan. I can understnad how frustrated the acmilan fan is but it's not his fault. Leao deserves more chance to solve his problem and i think this will be helping him so much to rebuild his performance again.

He needs support and trust from the fans. He can increase his standard again as a winger or there will be also another good solution for him like leave from acmilan. This will be making the situation even better for him.
I know that fans are always putting very high expectation for him consider he has been named as one of great winger this decade but he is just also a human. So, people shall not blame him anymore. Let him cook in the upcoming game. This will be helping him a lot.

I guess that if some fans were understand regarding his situation in the club. Leaso's contribution is still needed by the club.

Bayer Leverkusen have already done enough this season to be considered as the favorites to win the German Bundesliga ahead of any other team in the league. Like you rightly pointed out, they've not just been good in the league but have also been good in Europe. Tonight, they play against Borussia Monchengladbach and if they win that game, they'll go seven points clear at the top of the league which I think is a very good one for the team.

Borussia Monchengladbach if we remember defeated Stuttgart last time they met in the league and considering how strong and consistent Stuttgart have been since the start of the season, a team that defeated I think should be considered as a very strong team. I know it'll be very tough game for the two sides, but I'm banking on Bayer Leverkusen to either defeat Borussia Monchengladbach or at least get a draw from that game

You're right, for me, My the only player who has a higher level in Barcelona is him, there is no other, in fact I think that Lewa's biggest mistake is having gone to a Barcelona that is not close to winning anything, yes, they are good in the UCL , They had a team that really won Serie A through pure luck, because they have not shown that they are winners or that they are defending champions , but rather that things have happened to them by pure luck, so if they have a chance of passing and beating Napoli, He could not deny that sometimes Barcelona has good luck and they win , Especially in the UCL , but from then on things are not so good to try when they come across teams like City,  Bayern who That's where the race will come to them.

It seems to me that things with Barcelona are complicated, I don't see it very well, they also lost in the Copa del Rey and nothing is going well for them, I think that now their main contender is not Madrid, it is Girona, Therefore, when we do something to see what could be happening, I realize that Xavi himself is to blame for everything, he can't take it anymore, he doesn't have any more ideas, and that shows on the playing field, I also believe We have all laughed at the excuses he makes that are truly useless, say that he lost and that's it, but don't make excuses because that makes the team look bad, it's as if they were children, know that type of thing that he says sometimes no I know, it could be that he says it like that to save his job, but I really don't see this team well, for me they lack a lot, and they are falling very far behind, at least in the League it is like that, it is very easy for them to be beaten too Get out of the UCL quickly, as its level is very demanding.

Manchester City's attacking line was missing Haaland due to injury but he is said to be recovering and starting training, so this will sharpen the front line if he returns to play in the main squad including Kevin De Bruyne.
The FA is not the top priority but with this win all the fans have been cheering.

It was showing that if liverpool and chelsea are committing to win any of available competitions. It's not about how prestigious the competition is but winning a trophy can also boost the confidence owned by the players. There's nothing wrong by winning it and im only wondering why do people feel so disgusting with this trophy?
Trophy is trophy and it's still worth to winning it. People shall not be blind by seeing it based on how big the competition is. The main key is making the club to perform even better by boosting their performance after winning the competition. Klopp was sometimes field his secondary players.
Don't you see the match between liverpool vs toulouse? jurgen club have been using so many secondary players and it was losing against toulouse. Klopp was just giving secondary players in the team time to play when it was only facing the garbage club. I hope that klopp will able to show his justice to the any players till the end of season.
Klopp will be leaving from liverpool soon and the club needs to find his replacement as soon as possible. There's not time for liverpool to wait and see. FSG needs to hunt the new potential coach as soon as possible. it will probably xabi alonso from leverkusen.
Let's wait and see. The time will be answering us regarding this question.

Osimhen have never been a bad striker for the Nigerian national team, just that Nigerian pattern of play is totally different from Napolian style of play, in that Napoli team, the midfielder makes it easier for the attacker, but in the Nigerian color that's never the case.

Secondly, in as much as Nigeria vs Cameroon will always be a fascinating encounter, the Nigerian team need to step up and work on their attack, since their defense is well able to do, if they must qualify to the next round.

After having the worst start of this season their recent three wins give some good hopes but now suddenly again the lost two matches and in both matches they conceded 3 goals each which are surely going to be troubling time for them because now we are in 19th round and their performance level is still not compatible for having anything positive if they fail to bring better results then surely we can expect them into relegation zone until end of this season which could be disastrous for them and their fans as well now in coming round they are going to host Marseille which is also having very good form, and they can bring them down as well.

Against Rennes, they concede three goals in first half and then try to fight back into second half, but sadly they were not able to fight back as Rennes were better team and having good defense as well after scoring three goals in first half so they have done good job and having good end of this match with three points.
