Porto is entering a phase of very high unpredictability. They are not playing well, but they are always a dangerous team. Braga has been playing well, despite the draw in the last game. In turn, historically speaking, Braga tends not to have good results with the Big 3 in Portugal, even when they are at their best.

Therefore, I personally have some difficulty saying that he can win. I think a draw is very likely, and I would tend to say that Porto has a slight advantage to win. But, at this moment, for me, a draw seems to be the most likely.
Let’s take a look at Benfica who sits second in the log; this team is composed defensively and have lost just one match out of over 16. And they’re just a point away from Sporting. I think Benfica are good competition for Sporting. They're at the top of the league with just a gap of one point have lost 2 matches, and conceded more goals than Sporting. I think Benfica could overthrow them if they don’t maintain their good form

 Porto are pretty good defensively but poor when attacking and that’s resulting for them sitting out on 3rd and when compared with Braga are not a match to them though they’re above Braga with 2 points but I think Braga seems more composed in attack than Porto, Well the league is getting tougher since it's the 2nd half of the season and they all have to be at their best currently especially Sporting that's at the very top of the league, if they drop more points they'll give Benfica a chance to overthrow them.

Leverkusen is still having patrik schick as the secondary striker and im not seeing it as an important thing. Boniface was injury then what's next? what i can say that if just try to let him recover himself. It will be useless to argue when he will be back and just trust the process.
It's not yet a big lose for leverkusen. Im think that patrik can use this moment to prove his worthiness as a striker as well. This makes the situation becomes even worst and we can only hope that he will able to play good like boniface.

Im not complaining if he was injured caused by this is a non predictable thing. This will make xabi aware how important to have a secondary striker. The club can't always rely upon boniface.
As long as leverkusen has secondary striker then what's the problem? Despite knowing that Boniface was a good player, is it not unfair to deny the secondary striker an opportunity to play, especially considering Boniface's injury?

I think that this is a reasonable solution for this problem.
Leverkusen have been good in their performance so far this season, their squad list has been beneficial to them and the coach's strategy too. It's only fair that now that their key striker is out on injury, they only have to get a replacement for him. Well it's not going to be a very big deal because luckily for them the window is open all they need to do is to carefully scout a good replacement that would match their strikers ability, even though it's temporary.

 The second choice striker doesn't have much of the ability as the first and so a lot of work should be done or it's cost the team their performance records subsequently. Yes injuries cause setbacks to teams but it's inevitable and unpredictable too that's why it'll be best for a team to structure themselves and the squad as to always having the right replacement when these setbacks occur. Let's hope that the second striker would match the pressure that the forth coming games would put up.

yes, this is an interesting match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, I think Real Madrid will be the favorite team because Real Madrid's performance I think is currently good, I think it will be a fierce battle in this match because of the strength of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is of course very good, and I remember when they faced Girona, Atletico Madrid was also very good because even though they lost, the goal difference was not much, namely only 1. So it is possible that in this match Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid there will be a lot of goals because these 2 teams are very great. .

Yes, of course in the Copa del Rey they will meet again, of course the match at that time will definitely be more challenging because of course the team that lost in the Spanish Super Cup will improve itself and will learn from the mistakes they made in the Spanish Super Cup match.

However, the results of the Spanish Super Cup and Copa Del Rey matches for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will certainly be a valuable lesson for both teams because in La Liga, Real Madrid will meet again Atletico madrid in La Liga on February 4, of course this will be even more exciting. However, my prediction is that Real Madrid will be superior in all matches.

Yes, Atletico Madrid's last match against Real Madrid was won by Atletico Madrid with a score of 3-1. At that time, A. Morata and A. Griezmann were the heroes for Atletico Madrid, but indeed their last 5 matches were very unique, but yes, in the next match, of course we won't will know who will win the match but it looks like Real Madrid will be the favorite team.

The Spanish super cup would tonight feature the Madrid Derby. Both teams have been long time rivals and there's not a gleam of certainty of who'll be victorious. In this type of game, anything at all can happen. Both teams are at their extremest form and they have what it takes to be victorious. Even though Real Madrid is ahead of Atletico on the league table, it's still not much of a criteria. Atletico can literally take today's game to heart and give Real Madrid a tough time.

 Normally, Real Madrid would always prove their point of capability in every game they play. They're a strong coordinated team too so any good result can be gotten from them. Tonight's game will really be a major focus, for me though I'll predict for any of the sides to win or better still they draw but one team just has to take the game to penalty and win eventually too.

In this case im just hoping for a surprise return for the club that isn't too unexpected.
In the previous 2 seasons the Europa League was full of unexpected surprises where in the last 2 seasons there were Napoli and Barcelona who were predicted to be champions but the trophy was in the hands of Frankfurt and last season of course we remember Sevilla were very underdogs because of their poor performance in La Liga but actually made a breakthrough by winning the Europa League trophy with a struggle that deserves appreciation.
Currently there are several clubs that are definitely the favorites and of course Liverpool and Leverkusen are the club that have a greater probability in this competition now its just that with 2 surprises that occurred in previous seasons i expect it to happen again this season.

Liverpool will definitely be favored with their strength which is not really suitable to be in the Europa League because the difference in the quality of the players is very different and Leverkusen is still with the Xabi magic that does not end but there could be some things that could surprise and I expect such things from some unexpected clubs later.
The surprise isn’t always missing in European matches; this competition holds a lot of fun and big teams could be hit by smaller teams and this can be seen in surprises of last 2 seasons and last season. Currently we’ve got Leverkusen and Liverpool as favorites of this competition but they could be surprised with underdogs like Roma or AC Milan.

 Liverpool seem better favorite because of their vast experience and Leverkusen because of their current form which they remain unbeaten in over 4 months of play. Well, both teams should take caution as this is Europe and every team is determined to fight for the trophy and are ready to put up a challenge, the thing is that so far they remain consistent in the competition they'll both remain favorites to win the league. However the best team amongst both would win the league.

People still gets disappointed from Chelsea performance, I have remove them since first week of December from my favorite teams for gambling. I don't pick them to win and I don't their rival to win because I don't know them again. The last time I check their standing on the table was the same early December and I check and then they remain where I left them, 8 win 8 loss and 4 draw, damn Todd Boehly is a calm man. If I'm the owner, my hot temper would have sent him a sack letter to live my fucking club for his incompetent.

How can you have 70 ball possession and can't make a simple chance, all their shot on target were useless and conversion was poor. Been in Premier League is a privilege and hardwork, when a team of Premier League has a match from another team from other leagues, it shouldn't be ground breaking thing to do, more like a soft work but Chelsea made it look like impossible miracle. Maybe the next time they start having less fans coming to watch the team matches, the owner will become proactive person.
Chelsea team is just going up and down and just remaining comfortable being at mid of the league. They’re not even an option one should have the guts to play a bet on because their matches are always unpredictable. The owner being calm, I think because he’s got zero knowledge and passion for football. The match against Middlesbrough was one that was too frustrating too watch.

 Why posses the ball so much yet create no clear chance at goal and you’re playing against a team in the lower division. For Crying out loud, you’re bigger and better than this team so why make it look as if you’re dragging with them. This should be a clear victory for you. I think the fans are only keeping cool because they win some and loose some, but that's football for you, if you don't work very hard enough to improve you'll either drop or remain stagnant.

This is different from what is happening to Ajax at the moment, basically Ajax's performance is in a very bad state, so their defeat against a weak team indicates that the Ajax team is really getting worse.
If we talk about defeats by top teams against weak teams in football, it is normal, but basically the Ajax team's performance is very bad and the defeat against a 3rd division team is a benchmark that how bad the Ajax team is at maintaining its consistency even though this team is struggling. in their downturn and I think they have recovered from the downturn they experienced at the start of the season but losing the possibility of winning the title would certainly be a bad thing for the team.
Well Ajax didn’t just lose outrightly to a 3rd division team; they were 2 goals down and tried to equalize but only got unlucky in the last minute of play. The defeat from a 3rd division team isn’t new in football; and yes it happens.That doesn’t mean Ajax haven’t improved from the way they started the season. Yes the team is pretty poor no doubt but they’re better compared to how they started the season.

 Though the team isn’t in real shape yet as champions they’re but I believe they’re getting back their confidence and feet. Well they’re in the UEL and they could really get something off that competition if they try to improve on their play style and even get a rise to their league standing too. Ajax have really impressed everyone this season to get where they're to be honest I didn't expect them to go this far cause of their poor start this season.

Hahaha when these two players are in an attacking position it can be said that the front line in Manchester City attack combination is truly perfect, Haaland is sharp striker and De Bruyne is great midfielder.
Imagine if the two of them had created an attacking game then you can be sure that the opposing team defense line would definitely be able to be penetrated easily, really can't wait to see the two of them being able to tear up every team in the UCL competition.
Manchester City still has big chance of becoming UCL champions even though Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also great teams but I believe that Manchester City performance can still compete and provide truly amazing quality.

Huddersfield is team that is not that strong so it is natural that Manchester City can still win big in this match even without the appearance of their two star players.
I sure Pep is really looking forward to the two players he has appearing again.

The game against Newcastle is their first game of the second half of the season and I want to see how Manchester City get their first win after the first half is over.
Of course Haaland can be the goal scorer in this match to beat Newcastle.
By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. No offense to Copenhagen fans buy if you compare both sides you'll see that City stand and better chance and even got better squad and tactics.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

Juventus has been meet it two times in a row. The first match was on the italian league and juventus was destroying salernitana but im quite surprised to see that how salernitana was performing quite better in copa italia. It means there were some improvements happened in the club.
Juventus was struggling against it and it was only scoring two goals. The club is just getting better compared to the last season and it's not surprising me to see that if people are starting to paytheir attention toward the old lady.
The old lady was playing so perfectly in the matches against salernitana. All i have seen high moments in the juventus. It was fucking amazing to see that vlahovic has been finally having better stats compared to the lukaku. It seems allegri will think for twice before try to sell him.
It appears that vlahovic to be one of most important player in the club right now. I may probably wrong but i tell you this is the fact. Old lady may be getting scudetto this season and i do believe it.
For Juventus, by every records of games played, they're expected to earn the 3points for the match easily but one way or the other, their opponent Salernitana were able to make it a tough ride for them. Juventus is a title racing team and they've got to do better, the level at which lower teams ride them is alarming and it's likely going to take effect on their race. Inter is a good side and they wouldn't risk any chance they have to give Juventus a reasonable gap on the league table. Juventus shouldn't try to slack in performance as they may have to pay dearly for it.

 The strongest teams of the league are Juventus and Inter and the odds for the trophy for these teams are very very much alike. Thankfully, they were able to secure a narrow win so far in their league encounters, which although hasn't given them much point gaps too but is still promising. Juventus have still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games.

Timo Werner has officially been loaned to Tottenham until the end of this season from RB Leipzig. If he is able to give his best for the club, of course Tottenham will make him permanent and he will be Tottenham Hotspur's main squad to be used as a striker to replace Harry Kane. But I'm not sure whether he can be used the right choice for Tottenham, if you look at the statistical data, this player actually had a good performance when playing with his original club Lepzig but played so-so when he was with Chelsea but he is very good at providing passes and I think if the coach can provide a suitable strategy I think this player can return to its best performance.

Yes, the purchase is not too expensive considering his potential is decreasing from year to year, but if he returns to his best performance, I think Leipzig will increase the price for this player so that Leipzig can reap bigger profits considering that Premier League clubs have bigger finances but we'll see what Timo Werner is like at Tottenham, whether he deserves to play in the Premier League, where the competition is tougher than the Bundesliga.
Tottenham's squad have been trying but they've not really been trying extra, even though they're at a good spot on the EPL table. Since Kane's exit from the team, it's utterly being difficult to find an almost near intensity that matches that of Kane. Well they've got a new player on loan for themselves in person of Timo Werner for Leipzig. Well let's hope his 2nd time in EPL would mean a lot for Tottenham.

 Timo Werner didn't really quite have a good time with Chelsea and even currently with Leipzig he's not still yet delivering at an expected range. But the team has found him worthy to be the right replacement for that position and so let's all believe he'd be a good addition. He's had his first EPL experience with Chelsea and so I believe that joining Tottenham won't be a new experience for him in the league. Let's see that they effect his move and also watch him perform for the team too.

The top two team had final match for Week 19 and they managed to win their respective matches.
Fenerbahce had 5 - 1 win over İstanbulspor who were the bottom team and Galatasaray managed to win 3 - 0 over Konyaspor, from this victory they again got the same points.
In the Turkish Super League it is clear that the title holder for this season will only be contested by Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, there is no chance for another tick to follow or surpass the points they have achieved so far.
They each have 47 points, while Trabzonspor, who is ranked 3rd can only have 33 points difference of 14 points which is an unreasonable number if they are superior.

The 16th match, which was postponed due to an incident some time ago, will start tomorrow and of course this will be quite fierce match because competition for points is once again presented.
But I sure that each match that will be played by Fenerbahce and Galatasaray will definitely end in victory so that they can get the same points again, only Fenerbahce is superior in terms of goals scored.
The top two Turkish League teams had a favourable game last weekend with the both of them taking off the complete 3 points for the game with good goal margins too. The confidence of these teams is the fact that either home or away, they've got the biggest odds to winning every of their league games even though sometimes the victory isn't always guaranteed. These sides are good at what they do and they did not also let any factor deprive them of the strength out into the game.

 Galatasaray now has just the Turkish League race to focus on having been knocked out of the Champions league and it's an advantage for them to build up enough capacity to stay out at their top spot and for Fernabache, the struggle is up and they're definitely up to whatsoever task put before  them too. Both teams were confident in winning their games last weekend with good goal margins which only means that they're satisfyingly impressive in their progresses. These two teams have always been an upper hand in the league and maybe it'll be repeated this season as well.

This match will start the second half of the season for PSG in League 1, but unfortunately PSG has to start against a club that is quite strong when playing at home, while PSG's away match with Lens did not go smoothly, but maybe Luis Enrique's coaching will provide a different strategy. Maybe last season then Lens was a strong club in league 1 but this season Lens experienced a decline and was ranked 7th and struggled hard to be in the top 5. Even though it is a little doubtful, I still make PSG the favorite to win and I will bet on PSG winning or drawing because I am quite sure PSG will not let defeat break their winning streak so far.

PSG was able to beat Revel with a landslide score but the strengths of Revel and Lens are different and at least PSG is in better condition and has high confidence to be able to perform optimally and steal the full 3 points from Lens' home to continue to widen the gap with Nice and of course can sit comfortably at the top of the standings.
PSG starting their 2nd half of the season with a stong opponent, though I don’t see this to be much of a challenge for Luis and his boys. Lens are pretty good this season but still I believe PSG will get the win from this encounter. But for a safe bet, I think it’ll be preferable to double chance on PSG. Revel are quite different from Lens but PSG should be able to get their confidence into that fixture and get the desired 3 points to help them secure their top spot well.

 Nice aren’t a threat to PSG because I don’t see them matching PSG both in squad value and club’s value, PSG have had a very good history in winning the league title, whereas Nice are just a rising team trying to make a name for themselves, well I must commend Nice for their hard work and progress this season and if they continue with this pattern they could achieve the league trophy in few years to come.

Mahrez a junk player? Really? I don't think you have sat down and watched Mahrez right from when he was at Leicester City, I means the man was on fire and he also contributed to the success of Leicester lifting the EPL trophy, that was why Pep bought him and he became an effective too for the Citizens.
 The player you called a junk player has a total of 78 goals and 58 assist during his 5yrs at the club and you think he's a junk player? Well you need to go back and watch him, I feel you are saying that because he's an African and you don't want to acknowledge his efforts.
 When you say something about pairing, you made mentioned of Alvarez and Grealish, to me I don't see those two as best to make oppositions feel threatened, if you're talking about best pairing I'd say Doku and Alvarez or Doku and Phil Foden.
 If Pep is starting the front 3 it should be Doku on the left, Alvarez as the striker and Foden on the right flank, these guys have more force that would produce goals in a game than Grealish in that selection.
 To me Grealish is just another player you should be calling a junk player because he likes being fouled, he also kills counter attacks, so I prefer Doku to him and if Mahrez was to be in that City team now I'd prefer him over Grealish. If not for the money I don't think Grealish would still be playing regularly for Man City.
Mahrez is never a junk player rather I think he’s one underrated player who’s got so much impact especially when he’s on the pitch of play. He was signed to Man City when he was part of the helping hands that aided in Leicester win of the EPL trophy. Pairing of Alvarez and Grealish is a disaster as Grealish needs someone very experienced to do the finishing jobs for him and most times Alvarez isn’t that person to do it. Alvarez and Doku or Foden will be a better pair because these 2 are also young and would want to achieve a lot especially as they’re not big money signings

 Mahrez over Grealish anytime, anyday he's plays better and is more reliable than Grealish despite his age, I still don't understand why Pep had to let him go, maybe he kept Grealish cause of the money the got him for and decided to sale Mahrez cause of his age, however you're right instead of start Grealish I think Goku is more preferable currently.

Yes, Aston Villa has indeed experienced very significant progress this season and this cannot be separated from the hard work of Unai Emery who was able to make the club compete among the big Premier League clubs. But the strength that Aston Villa currently has is not playing games even though the depth of the squad they lost to Arsenal and Manchester City but in reality Aston Villa were able to beat them. This was not just luck because they also fought hard to be able to beat these top clubs, from a financial perspective I agree that Aston Villa does not have the finances of a top club.

Aston Villa's defense, I admit, they maintain a very tight defense, but sometimes Aston Villa starts to lose concentration if they start to concede, like in the match against Manchester United, where initially Aston Villa took the lead in the first half, but Manchester United was able to provide a counterattack which made Astin Villa lose focused in the second half until finally losing. This must be a lesson for Aston Villa so as not to lose focused when have conceded to the opposing club.
No doubt Unai has really done well for this Aston Villa team and he’s made them attain a height they haven’t in a ling while. Financially they’re not yet befitting to be a top club, but they’ve got the fighting spirit which also has helped them defeat top teams like City and Arsenal, they're a good team but they ought to be careful in certain games.

 Well their lack of concentration in games especially when having 2 goals up is usually what affects this team. Like in the game against Man United, they lost concentration and this had a negative effect on them. They lost all 3 points and even struggled not to concede more than 3 and this is what they should try to work on as a team, else they'll miss their chance of qualifying for the top four to participate in the UCL tournament season.

Come on man, the real challenge for villareal is just starting right now. Leverkusen came even stronger than last season and we have liverpool as the storngest candidate to win europa league. Don't forget about roma and acmilan. These clubs could be threats for villareal as well. Just because villareal was having same pattern as villareal and it doesn't mean villareal will be winning the competition soon. We have to be fair if any clubs have their own chances to take the trophy.

Who knows if villareal will be also going down the line too far at the europa league soon. the team is not at a stage where we could get much worse but villarela needs always try to be careful caused by it has not faced yet the strongest club than it.
Liverpool and any other big clubs could be preventing villareal to get to the final of europa league soon. Im only saying based on what possibilities that may happen in the future.
Villareal was always performing so badly in la liga.

Villarreal are performing so well in the UEL and this doesn’t make them favorite for this competition especially as we’ve Leverkusen who’ve managed to stay unbeaten in all competitions and also Liverpool who’ve got a wide range of experience in European competitions, including other tough teams that got relegated to the tournament, it's a good thing to dream, but I think Villarreal are wasting their time ìf they're hoping on winning the UEL, all their focus should be performing better to remain in the Laliga next season.

 They could probably be eliminated so soon in the Round of 32 or 16 especially as they’ve not faced much a great team. So they’ve got to be pretty careful so as not to let any cheap goal because they’re not yet stable as a team to oppose bigger teams.They’re still performing poorly in the La Liga and that could probably affect their UEL run if they’re not careful.

Im waiting for mitrovic to face messi soon. It will be very interesting friendly match caused by we do know that how big messi was in the past and he will be playing against al hilal which was the strongest team in the SPL right now. Im thinking that the gap is too far consider intermiami was still placing at the bottom last season. Even though the MLS has not yet commenced, I have reservations about Miami's chances of making any progress. The match against al hilal can be used to measure the performance from the club. That's an interesting match to be waited soon.

I would prefer intermiami to face al nassr coz it will make ronaldo to face messi although it will be friendly match. The result from this friendly match will make everything clear regaring many people who keep debate which was better between MLS or SPL.
I hope everything will be going smoothly and al hilal will be able to destroy intermiami soon. By comparing the SPL and the MLS, it will become evident that the former is far superior, ultimately suggesting that Messi made an unfortunate mistake by joining the latter.

Im sure that al hilal will be winnin the match very soon.
Al Hilal vs Inter Miami; a match to watch as Al Hilal are currently the biggest club in the SPL since they stay up the table. I think this match is key especially to help Inter Miami develop more before the commencement of the season. Though Inter Miami might not come close to how the Saudi Club perform currently but they’re lucky to have Balon D’or winner, Messi in their team. And Mitrovic playing upfront against Messi’s team will be a delight to watch on how he performs.

 Comparing the SPL and MLS isn’t supposed to happen because currently the SPL proves to be better than the MLS especially with the European recruits the SPL are garnering every transfer market, Al Hil will sure win Inter Miami, Miami might have one of the greatest player in their team but football regards team work and good squad depth and when it comes to those Al-hilal are better than Inter Miami.

Since Emery left Villarreal their situation has changed slightly but it is not impossible for them to focus more on the Europa League now rather than looking at La Liga.

Not that La Liga is not very important in this case but if you look at their current condition it must be difficult to compete in the race for the Europa League or Champions League because they are currently still scattered in the middle standings so surely their priority will be in the Europa League and it was seen when Villarreal performed quite well in the Europa League group phase.
The current situation is actually almost the same as Sevilla did last season but of course that doesn't mean they can walk free in this competition because after all, looking at the opportunities that exist for them at this time Villarreal is just a dark horse for the Europa League.

Well Unai was such a quality coach and they lost out on him. And since his departure this Villarreal team haven’t achieved much a success both in the league and otherwise. In the UEL, they seem to be quite successful but I don’t see them being able to stand against top guns and battle for the UEL trophy. They’re in a dilemma league wise but quite successful in Europe and could try to achieve a feat in this competition.

 Sevilla was in same dilemma last season and they clinched the UEl title, but it could be quite difficult for Villarreal this time out, they're not really doing very fine in their domestic league and could be relegated if care is not taken, they'll need to forfeit the UEL and focus on their domestic league or end up being relegated which is something I think they won't want. There's no point fighting for a trophy they won't end up winning.

If you think Roma's game was better than Atalanta, I think that's wrong, Roma conceded first than Atlanta. I saw that in this match Roma's attack still looked very bad, and the team's performance also looked less consistent. Especially with Lukaku, he was unable to make a good contribution to his game and failed to take advantage of the good opportunity he had to score a goal against Atalanta. If Roma had not received a penalty kick, perhaps Roma would have lost this match.

It's a shame that Roma were able to draw. In fact, if Roma could take advantage of the opportunities that occurred in the Atalanta goal, maybe Roma could win, because there were lots of opportunities created and these opportunities were wasted by the attackers and as a result no goals were scored. With a draw, Roma failed to equal points with Atalanta. Roma's next match is against Milan, I think it will be very difficult for Roma to win the match against Milan..
Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against Atalanta didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.

 The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.

The German Bundesliga this season have been more competitive than it's been in the past eleven years thanks to Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen impressive performance and just like many other football lovers across the globe who very happy with the development in the German league, I'm also very happy that Bayern Munich is finally facing a strong contention from a strong and determined team on who will finish the season with the German Bundesliga title.

Thomas Tuchel without doubt is a very experienced manager who have the needed managerial experience and abilities to help Bayern Munich overtake the current league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the race for the league but Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso have also shown strong signs on why he should also be feared and have proven already that he's ready to match whichever energy that's presented to him by Bayern Munich this season. Considering the the kind of hardwork and energy that Leverkusen have put in this season, I'll be disappointed if they don't end up with the league title
With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is. The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich.

 The two sides are currently in thesame range and tempo and assuredly, the next few weeks would be heated up for the Bundesliga as both teams would take every game extremely serious.Tuchel has to regain Munich's pride, there's chance for him to do so, he just needs extra effort while hoping on a little of Leverkusen's back slide.

You are right that comparing Richarlison with Kane will of course never be comparable because Kane himself is one of the best players England has and he has created quite lot of goals for the team he plays for.
Maybe Richarlison is much younger, but his skills on the field are clearly visible and can be assessed with clear evidence that Kane is player that Tottenham actually had to keep around last season.
I sure and I have said this more than once that Ange Postecoglou will definitely regret not keeping Kane, Kane development is very good and he has become the top scorer for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
If only Ange Postecoglou can defend Kane and provide what is needed, such as mature strategy and the right support, then Kane can be the player who brings Tottenham to face this season with more wins.

But is it possible that Kane will return to Tottenham? considering that he has also played with Tottenham for quite long time in their struggle for the Premier League and other competitions.
Moreover, Kane himself also moved from Tottenham several times but came back again and I wonder if maybe in the future there will be an opportunity or an open door for Kane to return to playing with Tottenham.
Comparing both players doesn't make any sense, Harry Kane is a world class player despite the fact that he played for Tottenham, a team with no tittles both in the domestic and major leagues, but he's proved himself at EPL by scoring numerous goals, Almost beating the all time record of Allan Shearer  and he's currently doing same at Bundesliga where he is currently, which is something I don't think Richarlison could match, he's a good player no doubt but Comparing him to Kane is a blunder.

 Well the chances of Kane returning to totenham is very slim, cause Bayern Munich know his worth they've seen what he's capable of, and what they could achieve with him in their team therefore  I don't think they'll really want to let go of him currently, maybe in future when he's probably at his retirement stage but not now, even if they want to sell him it would cost a lot for any buyer based on the amount they got him for.

There is no doubt this was shocking defeat but still this is not happening first time in soccer history because we have long list of defeats like these in many leagues as big giant teams lost to unknown teams with currently, we all know Ajax is having troubling time, and they are trying to rebuild themselves for the better future in Eredivisie so we can expect results like these from them.

This match was played on 21st December for the KNVB Cup round of 32 once USV Hercules were leading by 2–0, but we have some good drama at the end and Ajax able to score two quick goals but injury time goal from the Grotenbreg give them shocking win odds for the USV Hercules @51 at the start of the match.
Ajax got defeated by a 3rd division team. Well it sounds crazy though but it’s never the least expected especially as Bayern Munich were also defeated in the German Cup by a 3rd division team. Ajax is facing rebuilding and being eliminated from this competition at this point is kind of better. This is to enable them focus more on better competitions e.g the UEL and try to come up on the league’s standing.

 The match was full of drama and Ajax no doubt gave in their best but they were quite unlucky. So I feel it shouldn’t be much a big deal, they can forge ahead of this defeat.A victory in that game would had given then a boost in morale towards the chase for the top four in the Eredivisie League but all hope is not lost yet, they should put themselves together and try to do better so as to secure a spot in the UCL.
