Lazio vs Udinese

As a host Lazio is not in the good shape because in Serie A Lazio suffering 2 losing streak from Fiorentina and Milan and in Champion League Lazio was eliminate by Bayern Munich because they lost with huge scores 3-0 in the second leg of round of 16 and i think it's hard to repeat last season achievement when they finish as runner up even most likely Lazio will not playing at European Competitions and actually Lazio facing easy opponent Udinese and we all know Udinese performance was very poor and they also as the team with the most draw in Serie A with 15 draws and these results too makes Udinese lost plenty of points which make Udinese position on league standings is very not safe

Based on head to head statistics both teams has been met at Udinese home ground this January and at that time Lazio can win with narrow scores and about squad conditions between these teams Lazio and Udinese has facing unfavourable conditions because they lost some players who got suspension and Lazio lost at least 3 players such as Adam Marusic, Matteo Guendouzi and Luca Pellegrini and for Udinese they will lost Festy Ebosele and Walace so basically the recent conditions from them is looks similar and not so different and about the outcomes of this match Lazio is favourited to win this match because from squad quality and meetings records Lazio is much better than Udinese and Lazio win has good odds @1.85
Lazio have not really been performing at the usual pace we all know them to be at. They've got more work to do on themselves. The threats are high no doubt. The league is getting tougher and it's difficult for them to meet up or bounce back to somewhere meaningful at the top. At least, they're in the Champions league, maybe they'd be able to prove their worth there buh odds for advanced for them is low. Their strength should just currently be majored on the Serie A league. They have to stay in the games and acquire meaningful points too.

 Although they are not really the biggest team currently in the league and still they've tried to stay relevant  and it's one feat they strived to attain by positive weekly game results. They've been able to gain grounds to be on top at the end of the season's first half. Judging from their performance so far, they've got what it takes to finish at a very stable spot this season. They're good at what they do and they're relentless in their strides.Their next encounter against Udinese seems a bit tough for them as the both teams have little or no difference in terms of quality of impact in games.

 Udinese are competitive and even though they don't find themselves in an appropriate position on the league table, they still find a way to make relevance in every game encounter they have. I'd say that the both teams have thesame level of advantage to games and to be fair, it's acceptable if the game ends in a fair draw. Although the 3points from winning the game is highly needed at this phase of the season but judging by their performances both then and now, they're very much fit to counter each other and make the game end on equal stance.

Some people were doubt with this transfer because they thought Kane will be failed to adapt with Bayern Munich and Bundesliga atmosphere but clearly they are wrong because currently Kane has successfully to became an effective transfer for Bayern Munich because he can appears as Bayern Munich and Bundesliga top scorer and this season too with his goals Kane was successfully to broke several records and i have to says compared to Lewandowski certainly Kane is much better

But one of important reason why Kane want to leave Tottenham and choose Bayern Munich is he want to gets some trophies before he get retired but apparently this season Kane won't be achieve his target because Bayern Munich almost be failed to gets the trophies from all competitions and in Bundesliga too Bayern Munich was unable to keep up Leverkusen for race title however today Leverkusen can beat Wolfsburg with easily and after this result Leverkusen has successfully to wided their points gap again with Bayern Munich became to 10 points and i know Bundesliga still have 9 matches remaining before this season ended but it still hard for Bayern Munich to taking over first place from Leverkusen
 Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly. His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward.

 This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too. So far he's been doing explicitly well for Munich which should be appreciated, even if his time with Tottenham had also been great. It's good he switched to Germany as he's gathered additional experience too.Even though he's done his best to score as much goals needed to place him at the toppest stand of the goal scorers in the league, it still isn't enough to place Munich in the 1st placed position either.

  He's done his best as the striker but generally, it's a team and collective effort to put Bayern Munich in the first position spot. This season isn't just the best for them as their performance is greatly different from their usual performances in other seasons. In the 10 games left this season, Munich still doesn't have a chance at the Bundesliga trophy this season. They'll just have to try their luck next season. Maybe with a better coach that's as good as their rivals Xabi Alonso.

Even though Man City players are generally of higher quality, the rigid style of play that has shaped the brand will not be easy to change. It is highly appreciated, but Man City cannot beat Liverpool. The two teams played openly, constantly giving each other tit for tat. The match could have had more than two goals if the opportunities were fully utilized. Although their strength could be stronger, Liverpool can make it difficult for any opponent at home. Liverpool is also unafraid to push their squad to play double-attacks with their opponents. The 1-1 draw was even somewhat unfair to Liverpool, as the number of opportunities and the quality of opportunities they created were both better than Man City. At the end of the match, Liverpool was also denied a confusing penalty when Doku kicked Mac Allister in the penalty area. Man City has survived a tsunami in Anfield.

Talking about Erling Haaland in the whole match, he only touched the ball 21 times, lost the ball once, and never won an aerial battle. This was a disappointing match for Erling Haaland, as he was utterly outclassed by Virgil Van Dijk. I actually think Van Dijk is a better centre-back than Haaland as a striker. This is a battle between the best centre-back and the best striker. And Virgil van Dijk won. Klopp's introduction of Salah and Andy Robertson created space for Diaz to move and exploit the hole. Diaz played with enthusiasm, constantly tormenting Man City's defense.
 The battle for the EPL continues as we saw the two top teams playing out another 1-1 draw which means them both sharing the spoils. This was also a great draw for Arsenal as they remain top of the EPL table. Arsenal now have to maintain consistency but one big deal is that they’ve got more matches against the big 6 as compared to these 2. This draw was quite expected but the match was sincerely fascinating. The match is what we would love to talk about today, how it all went down for these 2 teams in yesterday’s encounter. A second half penalty goal from Mac Allister canceled out a John Stones lead in a brilliant 1st half contest.

 Liverpool were very tremendous after the break and they caused Man City and Pep some sort of worry and this was a warning message to Arsenal too, that they’re very serious and ready for the challenge. No damage was done to their title challenge rather they’re just behind on Goal Difference and with their performance yesterday, you can begin to think that the goal difference might not be much a worry for this side. With that draw, I think City are so delighted knowing they can at least snatch a point from Liverpool at Anfield. They could have killed the game in the first half but they couldn’t take their chanceS and also in the last minutes too but the chances weren’t converted.

 Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola’s Premier League rivalry came to a pulsating conclusion with a tense and tenacious 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. The final chapter continues with just 1 points separating these teams, it also leaves Arsenal on top with some high goal difference between them and Liverpool. Erling was no where in that match and I felt he was supposed to be the sub off and not KDB. VVD keeps poving why he’s the vest centre back as he kept Erling in his pockets and also exploited upfront and the introduction of Robertson and Salah was real spot on by Klopp. This Liverpool side seems real fierce and I already see them as EPL winners.

Atletico who think their look strong at home actually have to make mistakes in the first leg by playing defense, honestly I think Atletico Madrid can even have a chance to be able to equalize the score or even beat Intermilan in that game if they do not defend completely, like you said, Atletico now is not Atletico a few seasons ago who did have a balance between their forwards and also the backline,  For now I also don't think if Atletico will be able to overcome the attack carried out by Intermilan later, let alone they are burdened with 1 goal on aggregate.

If we compare Atletico then and now it is very different, Atletico who used to often park the bus when indeed they were superior both home and away, while Atletico now precisely every time they play with a team that is at the same level as them at the opponent's home, they will choose to defend and just counterattack to keep the ball away from their defense and we can see this happening in some important matches Atletico.
In the second leg match maybe Atletico will try to attack although it is also possible that they will still defend fully, but when I see Intermilan who are still playing impressively in the league when they are close enough to the Scudetto and without caring they continue to play attacking when facing their opponents, and that's why 1 goal aggregate may not make Intermilan defend and will instead continue to attack Atletico to add to the aggregate victory in second leg match.
The UCL round of 16 leg 2nd leg continues this week and one of the major match of focus is Athletico vs Inter Milan. This match holds lots of excitement because of how similar both teams plays.Though I’m not expecting any excitement from the match especially and I don’t have any other expectation than seeing Inter being able to go through. Many will want to argue and talk about Athletico playing at home and its effect and I just can’t help but to laugh like as if they can’t easily predict what will go down. Yes it can be easily predicted because they’ll come into this match to try to get the fast one on Inter amd then might get hirt by a counter this is because the front and backline of this Athletico team isn’t balanced as they used to be some years back.

 This is one major reason why you see them all calm and trying to hold up the defense line like they did in the first leg. The Athletico mAdrid team have zero urgency to progress the game forward or play through the lines and this will keep them lacking when opportunities present itself. As this is the best way to hit on Inter if they really want to get anything off this match. The Inter Milan squad are a very paced squad and have strong attackers who can be able to break between the lines and they’re also organized defensively as you can see how the played in the first leg. For this reason I’m sure banking on Inter again to get the win.

 Inter will sure win this as they’re not looking like a team satisfied with the 1-0 aggregate score as they want to also hurt the Spanish team the more and they’re very balanced to do so and will do so. Athletico will have to come out and attack and try out their lucks but they must do so being wary of the fast pace attack of Inter Milan.This match like I said I think will be going the way of Inter and nothing is going to change that. Inter can be quiet and still dirty when the match wants to go dirty and they’re a team that can match Diego Simeone toe for toe. The defense of Athletico isn’t as strong as we know it to be and can’t be fully relied on.

The result from the match of liverpool vs manchester city was also quite disappointed. This game ended with draw as the final result and it makes thing become even harder than before. Arsenal is now topping premier league while liverpool and manchester city must able to perform even better than before.
Manchester united is slowly moving up again and yeah it must be a common result since everton was a bad club. Things are going even harder for MU to qualify for UCL since totenham is also very consistent at this moment in winning the game.
I hope that everything will be possible for united to get UCL spot. We are getting closer to the end of the season. Talking about the possibility of manchester united to get into the UCL spot is pretty small. It's caused by manchester united is still having very big gap toward aston villa and totenham.

Things are going even harder since aston villa and totenham are consistently winning against mediocre club. Manchester united shall hope one of those teams get flops in upcoming game. The peformance from manchester united is quite stagnant but the only problem if united has only a chance to get a spot in UCL.
Liverpool, manchester city and arsenal owned three spots to go to the UCL. MU needs to compete with aston villa and totenham for the last spot to go to the UCL next season. This is also giving very big pressure to the manchester united in acquiring the last spot of UCL.
Manchester united must only hope that aston and totenham will be missing so many games. MU has 6 points gap to the totenham and 8 points to the aston villa.


Manchester United have been having very poor performances this season and though their performances haven’t been worthy for a big team, they still managed to remain in the battle for the top 4. Yes they real want to feature in the UCL next season because of how elite that competition is. United in the UCL next season will give them the room on acquiring some key players they need in the club and that’s why they chase for the UCL spot is always the main by clubs in their respective leagues. Manchester United bouncing back from 2 consecutive defeats to Fulham and Man City, made sure they grabbed all 3 points at the Old Trafford against Everton.

 Garnacho was the main man in the 2 goals as he was the player fouled that won both penalties for Manchester United and though he wasn’t able to take any but his contributions didn’t go unnoticed as the only goals in that match were from the challenges he won. Fernandes and Marcus Rashford converted first-half penalties won by Garnacho as Man United beat Everton 2-0 on Saturday to recover from back-to-back Premier League losses that had spoiled its Champions League qualification hopes. Fernandes scored the first in the 12 minute and then handed over the second to Rashford in the 37th who slotted the kick into the corner and was able to double the lead. One noticeable point in that match was the way Everton controlled the game after these 2 penalties and that made us begin to wonder if this United can real get that top 4 hope.

 They’re currently 6 points away from Tottenham who defeated Aston Villa at the Villa park with a smashing 0-4 making united top 4 hopes dim by the day. This means serious work for United if they real want to put up a fight for that top 4. I don’t think it’s safe having hope on finishing 5th and waiting for English counterparts to perform exceedingly well across Europe rather it’s safe to be in 4th place and be rest assured. With the increasing form of Tottenham and the points gap between Villa and United then I think United are in for a long chase in the final 10 Game week. Especially now they’re hit with different injuries, I just hope they’ll be able to try to get the 4th spot.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 11, 2024, 08:44:26 AM

 See, my words yesterday came true today where PSG managed to be held to a draw by Reims even in today's match and even PSG must be willing to fall behind first with a goal at the beginning of the first half scored by Munetsi in the 7th minute.

As I said before Reims' counter-attacks are quite fast and if PSG don't pay too much attention to that then they will be troubled because indeed the speed on both sides of the Reims attack is always troublesome for their opponents.
This should be a situation where the match is used as a lesson by PSG because even though their individual skills and strength are superior, in the end they still have many gaps that can be penetrated by the opposing club including when PSG tries to control the rhythm of the attack which makes them unaware of their defense having problems in the match.
A score of 1 point when playing home and when PSG is the favorite in my opinion it is an adverse condition but it is still quite fortunate that they did not lose points in today's match.


PSG was held to a 2-2 draw by Reims and this is a big setback especially in the club’s performance as their performance isn’t in the best stage at the moment. This performance isn’t seen as Psg’s best as you can see how they struggled in this match. When comparing both teams, you’ll see that Psg is very clear off Reims but that didn’t show in the way they performed in that match. As in that match PSG struggled to keep up with the game plan of Reims and were Lucky to earn a draw. This is their 3rd straight domestic draw and this doesn’t speak well of the team as this could have easily landed them under pressure if they were not over 10 points clear the 2nd on the log.

 I think PSG has to up their game especially as we now see how the coach is trying to play without Kylian, so as to let the team get used to they style. Kylian was rested after scoring the 2 goals for the club during midweek UCL win against Real Sociedad which saw PSG able to go through with an aggregate score of 4-1. PSG fell off due to an error from Hakimi and that was an early goal that started the dent on the team’s performance yesterday. PSG gave some goals and were also gifted some but in all what was very noticeable was the way they pressed as a team and they couldn’t just get it right to go 12 points clear. Though Brest who are their closest challenger fell to a 1-0 loss, this means all is well as regarding the title.

 It was a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 game in which Mbappe has either started on the bench or been substituted since he informed PSG of his intention to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. This means the club must begin to learn to play without Kylian and get the winnings too as that’s what will be key to their success. Mbappe had several attempts to score but could not add to his 34 goals for the season in all competitions as PSG followed up recent league draws with Rennes and Monaco by dropping points again. Reims got the 1 point which they earned and this is a disappointing Result for PSG and her fans because they real want to win the league very early and with this kind of performance then that party could be kept on hold a while more.

Arsenal will undoubtedly receive relatively low odds because their next game will be played at home and we know the reputation of emirate stadium this season. it's always becoming the house of dead to the other clubs. Arsenal has always performed well at home, so it makes sense that bookmakers would offer very low odds for Arsenal. Porto will face a major test to determine its status in UCL. Arsenal was always playing crazily at home by scoring as many goals as possible. It's obvious that Arsenal will win the game soon, but Porto still has a slight chance as long as porto keep plays defensively. Porto will probably win as long as the game ends in a draw. The main requirement is for the club to utilize a parking bus strategy against Arsenal. I don't mind if porto played so passively in this match as long as it will win the game or draw.


This will also have a significant impact on Arsenal's performance because scoring will be more difficult, causing them to panic even more. Betting in Porto involves a high risk of losing your bet. I'd rather bet on a total of over 2.75 or BTTS.
It is likely that Porto will be able to defeat Arsenal, but it all depends on the strategy that will be used in the upcoming game against Arsenal. I will call porto a a stupid club if it's putting the big risk by playing offensively against arsenal.
Arsenal is capable enough to destroy it with huge margins. Put all players into the penalty box and it will help club a lot.

Arsenal is scheduled to host Porto in the 2nd leg of the UCL Round of 16 in few days at the Emirates. Arsenal who on aggregate are currently behind after losing the first leg with a last minute goal will be going into this match with much confidence to reverse the score and get the qualification. Arsenal team are on fore currently from the matches we’ve seen the club play after that defeat and how massive they’ve been scoring and playing as a team. This brings us to know where they’ll be garnering confidence for this fixture

 Their current form and momentum is one of the major reasons why Arsenal should be favored to defeat Porto. They have dominantly won their last 7 games since mid season break and they’ve scored whooping 31 goals which is massive and worthy of recognition. Now they are have been handed a major boost which brings them to sit top of the EPL table with the win against Brentford over the weekend. Arsenal have a better squad depth as compared to Porto and most of their players returning from injury is a major boost as this would cause lots of worry for Porto.

Arteta is a tactical genius and you can’t doubt he’s got the acumen to be able to build up a tactics to explore on Porto’s weaknesses with his boy’s strength. The major confidence is them playing at the Emirate, the joy of playing infront of their devoted fans and at a familiar ground will be the biggest boost that they can sure overturn this aggregate score. The fans presence will give an extra dose of inspiration, and confidence as they face Porto. Porto are in for a big game and I’m sure Arsenal will feast on them properly so if I’m to place my money on this game, I think I’m confident of Arsenal having up to 3 goals in this match.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 10, 2024, 02:34:17 PM

Well, I guess not always everything is as specific as you say. I am a supporter of The Gunners, but basically The Bees often give trouble to their opposing teams. unfortunately, this season their performance has been a mess. in the end, Thomas Frank's squad collapsed at the Emirates Stadium. even though Brentford's performance has basically decreased this season, if we compare it with the Sheffield United squad, it is certainly very different. moreover, as we know, Sheffield United is in the red zone. So it was natural that Arsenal at that time overthrew him with a landslide score. In last night's match, overall the Gunners players played with a very good performance. almost overall, the team played as it should. unfortunately, Aaron Ramsdale made several blunders. It's only natural that Aaron Ramsdale can't compete with David Raya to become the main goalkeeper.

As for Martinelli's absence, Arsenal's game has not changed. After all, Trossard played quite well in last night's match. As you say, perhaps this is the strategy used by Mikel Arteta. Trossard, can cause the Brentford players to lose their concentration. because, this player, plays as a multi-player as well as a striker in rotation with Kai Havert. Let's just look at the course of this match, Arsenal controlled 72% ball possession, 17 total shots, 6 of which were on target, 2 big opportunities, 1 hit the goalpost. Likewise tactically, Arsenal is much better than Thomas Frank's squad. well, now Arsenal is temporarily at the top of the Premier League standings, as my favorite team I am very happy.

Tonight, Liverpool's match against City is a big match that will be very tense for fans of both teams. also, for us as neutral football supporters.

Arsenal who are currently league leaders while we await the super Sunday Clash between Liverpool and Man City at the Anfield. They got to that position after having 8 consecutive wins against teams in the EPL and that’s a big boost for their EPL title challenge this season. You can see the level of strength and determination from these players yesterday and that showed how much they wouldn’t want a repetition of last season’s error which made City crowned champions. The way the boys chased every lost ball and the way they progressed too.

 Arsenal is a team with young blood and the determination and confidence level is real high and you can also say that Arteta is real a tactical genius as he’s quite intelligent and know when to make the right changes. Yes the match was going a bit tough which was as expected. As you can’t compare Brentford to Sheffield as the latter are the worst team in the league and they sit pretty well in the 20th position of the league with the worst defense. The former, Brentford are a composed side and they take on every chance they get.

 Yes that’s why they were able to convert with the blunder of Ramsdale and cAme into the game but weren’t able to grow into the game. Ramsdale though made a blunder but he still had good saves that kept Arsenal in the game till Kai got the winning goal. Martinelli’s absence wasn’t real felt as Trossard was able to leave up to expectation and this is one reason why I say this Arsenal squad has a greath depth woth enough quality and yes they can take on any team. With 10 more games to go, I think if they maintain this consistency then they could be crowned winners of the league.

Manchester United managed to get 3 points in that match but the way they played was still ordinary, even the victory they achieved in this match was obtained with a penalty kick so Manchester United's victory was very lucky in the match, there was no extraordinary impression even though they won because they They should be able to do more if they are able to apply a lot of pressure because they are playing at home, but yes, that is not important for them because the most important thing is that they can win this match to continue aiming for the top 4, but with Manchester United's performance being worse than the clubs above me feel they are unable to achieve it.

Manchester United's position has not changed, they are still in 6th position for the time being. In fact, Manchester United still has a chance to be in the top 5 if they are able to perform more consistently in the future, Manchester United is only 3 points different from Tottenham and if Tottenham loses in the game against Aston Villa then Manchester United can take advantage of that moment to be in 5th position but If Manchester United wins the next match and the opponent happens to be the weakest club in the league, this should be a fairly easy match for Manchester United when facing Sheff United.
Manchester United who haven’t had their best of performance this season because of some crazy results got back to winning ways in their home match against Everton yesterday. This win was so important that a loss here could have been crazy and not acceptable.Well getting back to winning ways gives them this sort of hope and boost in their already fainting top 4 hopes. They’re now sitting pretty in 6th position and are very confident that they can still make top 4. The match yesterday had it’s 2 goals in the first half both from the spot kick and that shows the level if brutality in the match. Bruno and Rashford converted from the spot to extend Everton winless run in the EPL to 11 games.

 In the match you can see both teams had same strength going forward but the defensive errors by Everton made them concede those penalty. Talking about the style of play of Manchester United, you can call that pattern of play very disappointing as one expected them to score more goals from open play. You can see how they all ghosted after those 2 goals in the first half and you can try to blame it on injury.Yes we understand the injury crisis in this team though but that doesn’t mean they can’t get something reasonable from this match. Everton have been struggling this 2024 and one expected Man United to have over 5 goals in that match and not struggle like that. The effect of this effect is shown on both teams.

 For Manchester United it’s a boost for their top 4 hopes  since they got all 3 points in this match but for Everton it’s keeping them in danger for relegation. Now Manchester United are 3 points away from Tottenham who are in a tight contest with Villa. The pressure now is much on Tottenham to get all 3 points or at least a draw from Aston Villa else I think they could be parking their load off 5th place soon. The EPL is real fierce and the competition is now coming alive and it’s this kind of scenes we love to see.

I don't know why you criticized Gundogan for playing poorly in this match. Gundogan's determined spirit and desire to conquer the heights have not diminished. Gundogan's versatility is the key to Barcelona's play this season. On the contrary, it also revealed the weaknesses of the home team at Camp Nou. Xavi plans to use Gundogan as an attacking midfielder who is more involved in developing the ball and finding goals. However, out of 23 matches in La Liga this season, in only 12 games did Gundogan play football as an attacking midfielder. Instead, the 33-year-old midfielder often has to play far from goal in the center of midfield. Gundogan's ability to choose positions, exploit space, and penetrate behind the opponent's defense helps Barca's play improve. Sometimes, that causes Gundogan to sacrifice some of his ability to create opportunities. In the 1-1 draw against Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, Gundogan was one of the best players on the field. Gundogan is gradually becoming a leader at Barcelona, similar to when he played for Manchester City. Personally, I still appreciate Gundogan.
This season is one season Barcelona fans wants to forget in a hurry as this season have been one of their down seasons coupled with the financial issues of the club. Club’s finances is always a big worry especially as it’s not going to help the club be able to get the proper signings they need. This is one challenge the club has faced this season and as such have had to manage with the injured players and the available players. Managing with both sets of players seems to be real tough and this can be troublesome especially for the coach.

  And i feel because of the trouble and all Xavi decided to depart the club at the end of the season. The win against Mallorca is a boost for them especially as they head into the UCL 2nd leg against Napoli. You can see how they’ve managed to fight all hard with their injury crisis. This win is a big boost for the team and we’ll hope they can keep the form up till they get the players back as for talks of the team relying on a 16 year old. I don’t think it’s much of a deal especially as the 16 year old is now getting the recognition and he could probably be minting cash for the club.

 Gundogan vertality is one of the main reason why Barcelona is doing very greatly this season. He’s a very good player and I think he’s got a lot to offer no matter the position he’s put to play. I think Xavi just needs to hang on as he can sure get the best of this squad and get something in the UCL though for the UCL, I’m still going to stand strong with Napoli. Cause I think they'll be more desperate and try to steal the 3 points from Barcelona in their next game.

Don't we all know that Mbappe is the best player that PSG has and he joined PSG at very young age, this will be disaster when Mbappe leaves PSG so like it or not they have to look for replacement for Mbappe even though they have to spend lot of money very large.
Lamine Yamal is young player who has very good potential in the future and perhaps this is one of the reasons why PSG is willing to spend that much money on player like Lamine Yamal.
Moreover, with Barcelona he has also made quite good contribution and saved Barcelona from defeat several times, many people think that Lamine Yamal could become star player in the future.
But if the price is so big for Lamine Yamal, I also surprised and think that hopefully decision like this doesn't cause PSG to experience any loss problems because when he is with PSG it is not guaranteed that Lamine Yamal will be able to play well.
This will be condition where PSG builds and makes players even better from zero because he is still young and doesn't really have much experience in facing big team.

No, this is not something that can destroy the market, but it is because this amount is an amount that is considered appropriate to be able to buy players without much drama.
When a star leaves a particular club it’s quite painful and hard to always move on and especially get a replacement who would fit. What’s more painful is letting the star go for free and that means you’ll be on a loss getting a replacement. In every sphere of life getting a replacement for a quality product or person is usually very hard as you could go through crazy phases and yet still not get the right replacement. This is the case for PSG whom their star man Kylian is set to leave the club.

 Kylian Mbappe,  has been forcing his way out for over 2 years now and though the club have managed to keep him on certain occasions but right now they’re no longer able to keep the young man as he’s set to achieving individual limelights to help his career and take on another level of greater challenge. He’s set to join Spanish giants, Real Madrid and the announcement will come in soon for that contract. PSG in a bid to replace him are set to raid Barcelona who are in need for money with some tempting offer for their winderkid, 16 year old Yamal. The offer of over 200m euro prepared by PSG is real mouth watering and very tempting especially to Barcelona who’re currently broke.

 Yes this deal will sure destroy the transfer market and make the valuation of players sly rocket again and we know that this isn’t good for football as clubs will now over price their players who won’t be able to even offer anything. Yes the price is quite high even though we know yes, he’s got the quality and can be a good replacement for Mbappe. Mbappe joined this club at a tender age and he’s achieved success at the club, and that’s why the replacement with Yamal is pretty accepted. Well I think PSG should try to reduce the amount and consider other clubs but the player choice is a great one.

I think in this case we have nothing to do with the club president because we must be aware that the club president is only tasked with making the internal conditions of Napoli run well and that includes the coach and the senior staff there but for matters of player performance and other problems related to players then surely it is the responsibility of Calzona as a coach.
Their momentum in the previous few matches has been very good, especially when they managed to beat Juventus, it's just that some of the conditions that were lacking occurred in the match against Torino.

They played well, it's just that Torino were much better in terms of defense because they played with great focus and indeed that's what made Napoli hassle in the match that happened especially with finishing that was not very good, it made them even more frustrated because the performance did not go as it should.
But indeed there is at least 1 point they got in yesterday's match and that still makes Calzona have not lost points in the matches he did while coaching Napoli.

The weekend's game would have been a bit of a push to the top spot on the Serie A table for Napoli but sadly they weren't able to maximize their chances and advantages possessed which in turn ended the game in a draw against Torino who are currently a team not really fighting for the top spot and have as well been able to secure their safe spot on the league table. A 3 point victory is very much essential for Napoli. Just 10 games left and they've got a task of finishing the season in the fourth placed position on the league standings. They don't have to continue the season at this tempo and performance rate either. Their last games have been fruitful and it's believed that they can still make a difference, just that yesterday's game would have been an added advantage for them.

 They were the host and so they should have garnered up all useful paces in them to cover up the position they are just to be able to get out of it. Let's just watch how the next weeks would turn out for them and hopefully they'll be able to make bigger use of the chances before them to finish the season at a positive spot. Just 10 weeks left to the end of the season and Napoli are trailing below Bologna, yes, they'd want to strive to gain enough points so as to get tickets unto next season's European contests but it'll be a difficult task for them because even if they managed to cover up the points gap now, how can they be so sure that Bologna would sit back and be consistently poor in these last weeks.

 Last season, Napoli were a better side even in season's before last but this season, there's been a big switch to that and now it's seeming like a difficult task. Most less active teams of before have now taken it up on themselves to make long lasting differences this season and they've sure been consistent at it. It'll be difficult to break small teams as they've just developed a hidden confidence and strength to maintain their stiffness and just keep being ahead this season. Napoli can only reduce the track of points gaps between the teams but I'll really be longing that they're able to outstand and come on top the table to ensure the ticket is kept intact.

Yeah that's right, no matter how many goals Thomas Tuchel's squad scores, the points will still be three. in this match, Mainz was very sadly defeated by Bayern with a result of 8-1. this defeat will make it even more difficult for Mainz to avoid the red zone. is in 17th place with only 16 points. in fact, the Mainz team squad tried to put up resistance to match Thomas Thucel's team, but it was true that several of the Mainz defense line players really underperformed, so that Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Muller, easily penetrated the opposing team's defense line. including Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka, he contributed two goals, as well as two assists and several other opportunities that he had. Kane, again scored a hat trick in this match. with this result, at least Bayern reduced the point difference from Lerkusen. even though in reality, Bayer Leverkusen is still in the safe zone. but at least, Thucel tried his best and brought his team back to high confidence. as for the results of the next match after match, I'm sure Thucel will try to give his best while hoping that Lerkusen slips up in match after match before the end of the competition.

Early this morning, in my country, Leverkusen will host Wolfsburg at Leverkusen's home BayArena. on paper, Leverkusen should easily win the match. but I haven't tried to research and analyze it, especially for betting options. so, let's wait before the match takes place.
Munich yesterday were able to restore back their pride and confidence even though their chances for the Bundesliga trophy was off, they just had to keep up their face and yes they were able to beat mercilessly Mainz at the Allianz Arena with a 7 goal margin. A very big loss to Mainz as that game result further pushed them below the table thereby increasing the odds to been relegated. Well it won't be much of a heavy task on them, they'll only have to absorb the lesson and experiences learn and garnered whilst working towards bouncing back up into the main German league again. It ought to and was an easy win for Munich.

 Thankfully, they didn't mess up with the game. For Leverkusen, they've kept a clear gap from second placed Munich and the odds for their game against Wolfsburg seems very much high for them to come out victorious. They'll be the host and considering their unbeaten performance so far this season. One can safely bet on them to deliver positively. The staking odds are in their favor too. Wolfsburg yes are a competitive side and have had the chance to net a numbet of goals in majority of their games. It's still safe to bet that there'll be inflow of goals and not with standing, Leverkusen will take home the 3 points.

 The experience in the league so far should be held onto strongly by the other teams, while they set out to work on themselves, differences positively and corrections can still be made.they should use Leverkusen as an example and learn to do better and try to make the league more competitive and difficult for only some set of teams to dominate the league, I believe Leverkusen are gradually becoming the next Champions of the league and I can't wait to see them lift the trophy.

Liverpool will play at Anfield and everyone knows that Anfield is a haunted stadium for Liverpool opponents but I think that only applies to teams other than Manchester City at the moment, playing at home probably will not be too beneficial for Liverpool to beat Manchester City in that match, because Manchester City is one of the best clubs at the moment,  Manchester City consistency in facing each opponent has been very proven and it is fitting that Liverpool are wary, both teams now have the same quality, performance and consistency so it is very difficult for us to predict who the team will win in the match and it is even impossible if both teams only rely on the performance and quality of players then it looks like the two teams will only end in a draw.

With the quality of the team, the same performance and consistency of both teams, of course, later maybe the techniques and strategies used by the two coaches will be the difference that will probably make one of the teams superior later, both coaches I think have their own secret strategies in stopping the opponent and of course we will see how the two great coaches will be able to maximize the match to get 3 points for their team.

This match could be the last for Pep and Jurgen to face each other in the EPL and it holds plenty of surprises as we’ve got 3 consistent teams all battling out to be crowned Champions of the league in May. Liverpool are currently on top with 63 points and City with 62. Followed by a firing Arsenal who sits close with 61 points, they’ve scored 31 goals in their last 7 matches which makes and help them build a very massive Goal Difference. Liverpool welcome City to the Anfield this weekend and that match will have so many turning point on how the league is shaped.

 Anfield is a fortress for Liverpool and they’re very excellent when playing there but this match will be having it’s own feeling as any result here would have great impact on the league title chase. City are known to come from behind and haunt you as they’ve had all 3 points recently from that kind of play. Liverpool will need to go into this match with very high confidence and make sure they take all their chances that’s been clinical as City could hurt them. After this match, I think Liverpool still have somw pretty daunting fixtures and for that they must be at ease with victory in this match.

 Both teams have same strength and the tactics of the two coaches are top notch and for that I must say this match is going to be real tensed and we can’t wait for the fun of the match. I wish both teams luck though I will love to see Liverpool get the victory off this match at least so Manchester City won’t win the league again, cause if they do Pep Guardiola  would be too full of himself and start feeling like the God of all managers, lol, currently Arsenal are at the top of the table and if they both draw that would be a big advantage for Arsenal.

Al Nassr received several poor results, worsening the club's situation. Ronaldo performed poorly in his last game. Al Nassr does not have a winning mentality this season, and that is the truth. It is a perfect result from Al Hilal, who are currently unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League and i hope it keeps continue to deliver three points till the last game of this season..
This was another setback for al Nassr after Tallisca was sidelined for weeks then the performacne dropped drastically. The poor performance forced Nassr failed to collect three points from its opponents. I couldn't believe al Nassr had missed so many points. Ronaldo played so badly in the last game.

Castro may be fired before the end of the season if Al Nassr continues to perform poorly across all competitions. I'm only guessing that failing to win against Al Hilal in the upcoming stage will result in Castro's removal by the club.
The club's performance was very disappointing. Have they ever listened to the various suggestions made by the fans?

The club becomes centralized around one or two players. The gameplay was unpleasant, and it lacks of creativity.
Al Naasr current hopes will probably only be the same as last season, which leaves them ranked 2nd, the same as last season. They are sure to get back to winning ways after this bad result just gotten. Because the bad results that have just been experienced are actually quite worrying for everyone who is an Al-Nassr fan. because they don't play like usual. You could see a decline in the performance of the team which is a thing for worry especially after the team has spent quite a lot during transfer windows and yet they are not able to win the league. Rather they finish up second which isn’t what the owners want and what’s pleasing to the fans.

With the way they played in this disappointing result, you could see how poorly they perform and all rely on Talisca which is a big arrow pointing tha the coach might not be fit for the job. I also appreciate that the board are already considering letting him go because that obviously could be a better way out.They need a very experienced coach with winning mentality probably frim Europe who’ll be able to groom this team till they get the trophy. There was a fairly clear decline in performance that occurred at Al-Nassr and I agree that it would take a miracle for Al-Nassr to be able to seize the top position from Al-Hilal.

 I think so, because Al-hilal currently looks even better. And I don't see any signs that they will experience a decline in performance at this time. So now we just have to admit that Al-hilal will win the title this season.Castro should be let out of the club and a better coach gotten as this is going to be a boost for the club at this stage and time. Al-Hilal performance this season is very fantastic and with the current point gap, i already see them as the league winners.

Well, Nice performed again with bad performance, they suffered a defeat against lower middle class team like Montpellier and this is the result of the match for the umpteenth time which has made many people really doubt Nice.
They performed very well at the start of the season and from some of the previous bad results I thought they could learn and try to perform better but in reality everything is the same and shows that Nice is not team that can be used as favorite.
Nice stability and consistency have been completely destroyed after entering the middle of the season until now and it seems like there will be an opportunity for Nice to face conditions where the decline in standings ranking becomes even worse.
They made mistake which gave Montpellier 1 goal lead and after two minutes Nice were able to put up resistance which made it 1-1 draw but in the end they made another mistake which resulted in penalty.
1 - 2 result lasted until the match was over and this defeat occurred because of the mistake of the Nice players who acted too immeasurably, I think mistakes like this must really be corrected because they are very detrimental to the team if they happen again.

But they will have much more difficult match, namely in the French Cup quarter-finals where they will meet PSG, this will be bad match and could knock Nice out of the competition.
All these small teams without proper investment starts the league and have high and plenty strengths and then they look like King Of the Jungle and when the Jungle gets matured they go into hiding and oblivion. This is the story of OGC Nice whom we thought will be the contenders with PSG. Stumping Nice fell to another loss at home to Montpellier with all goals of this fixture coming in the first half. This shows how porous the defense of this Nice team and how much investment needs to be done in this team.

 With this kind of defense they’ll be seen as the worst team in any European competition talk more of the Elite UCL and I’m glad their hopes of getting to the UCL is getting dim. Nice’s early season promise looks more distant with every game after losing at home to lowly Montpellier 2-1 extended its winless streak to six French league matches on Friday. After leading Ligue 1 in the early part of the season, the club has fallen away in recent weeks.Its last league victory was on Jan, 27 and it has slide to fifth place in the table.

 This win is a major boost for Montpellier as it helps them in their battle out of relegation and it’s a crazy one for Nice as it’s the another bad result. In the QF of the French Cup, they’ll also be knocked out by PSG and this is very bad as they might try to maintain the position or go to 3rd to get a good European competition spot, they're not match for PSG and i don't think the French Giants would want to be kicked out so easily.

The city needs to implement a parking bus and it will be quite easy for the club to win against Liverpool. The only strategy that will prevent liverpool from winning is when your club using low block. That's the only way for the club. Manchester city shall not play openly in this game. The club must try to play bad football, waiting for the city to come.
There will be some good math to come soon along with this match. Salah has been playing since the first half, and the city must put more effort into performing defensively. Liverpool was very often scoring through counterattack when Salah Nunez and Diaz played together.
This is a good reason for the city to focus more on building a proper defensive line. Manchester City needs its forwarders to help the club when it was in fending mode from Liverpool's attack. Things are changing a lot. Manchester City needs to perform better to beat Liverpool in this game.
I am sure that if the majority of bettors believe in Liverpool getting three points from Manchester City, I'm very optimistic that City will perform better than last season. Hence, Kyle Walker has a very important role in stopping Diaz.

The EPL is coming to an end with very much competitions going on for who will be taking the league home. The EPL is filled with lots of healthy competition and this season’s own is very fierce and could last till the last days.This competition is very much needed for clubs in a league so as to help the clubs increase the way they play and get massive and needed recruitments. This season’s competition is very top notch and it holds so much fun. With just few games to go, this match could be seen as a major decider on who lifts the EPL this season. Liverpool are in great form especially after their massive away riot win of 1-5 to Sparta Prague. This shows how in form this Liverpool team is.

 At Anfield, a fortress for the Reds, I don’t think it’ll be an easy one for Pep and his boys tomorrow especially with the return of Mo who’s back to full training and will sure be in action full time tomorrow. The Reds players are on course to give Jurgen a good and happy ending at the club which is the EPL title majorly. They know the importance of Avoiding a defeat in the match against City tomorrow.City who are also unbeaten after running riots against Copenhagen during mid week and are in chase for another treble know how pretty important tomorrow’s fixture is. They know they must fight to get a positive result.

 As such the best result that could come out from this fixture is to have a full time drawn as both team are going to lock horns together in this match. Liverpool are dominant at Anfield and the crowd and fans will be up for this to help the team get the fast start they need. City too have also proven that they can’t be overlooked as they have come from behind to do sine incredible magics and can still do same at Anfield but I don’t see it been pretty much out of Liverpool control. So a perfect prediction for this match is that it could end in a draw either 1-1 or 2-2.

But indeed it is still quite reasonable because after all playing home it will certainly have an advantage and make it possible to become a favorite considering the performance situation that is not much different and with the militancy of supporters it could make the opponent's mental state a little divided.
For Atletico and Inter also indeed at this time I think the chances of both are still there even though at this time Inter's chances are much greater because of their 1 goal advantage but the second leg could change.

1 goal from the Aggregate is not a difficult thing for Atletico to overtake, it's just that Inter's performance to date has also been extraordinary and admittedly or not Inter this season is better than last season in terms of performance which indirectly says that Inter is a tough opponent to stop Atletico in the round of 16.
2 big Serie A clubs against 2 big La Ligs clubs with some of their internal problems for Napoli and Barcelona and the improved performance of Atletico and Inter in domestic competitions are quite interesting to wait for.

The UCL has resumed and it’s greatly known for the wide range of surprises it holds. Now in this stage of the UCL and down
We’ll be having much work to do with calculating goal differences between the clubs as this is what helps a club go through to the next round.We now have some already known potential winners who are very good on form and they can be trusted and reliable even in bad times. One of them proves to be in the match we’ll be focusing this discuss on.

 The match between Inter and Athletico Madrid; In the first leg of this encounter Inter were able to steal the win which gives them the major advantage with a 79th minute lone goal. That being the only goal in that match showed how strong both teas were and how composed they’re. Athletico Madrid returnn to Spain with their tail between their legs after falling to this low defeat which has now put them at the edge of leaving the competition. Though and yes it can be argues that it’s just a lone goal and Athletico Madrid have the advantage in the return leg owing that their fans have a way of spurning the players up to victory

 This should be worrisome for Inter Milan as they’re just a goal up and it can be overturned if they are not going to play their best. This match is one that we will love to see especially as those waiting for Inter Milan to have a bad record this season. Inter will sure be defending solidly and hoping they can increase their lead with a very quick counter. That’s the major way they’ll be able to eliminate this Stubborn Athletico Madrid. Athletico Madrid plays same way and pattern as Inter and for that reason this match is going to be evenly played. My prediction is that Inter will be able to go through but they ought to be very careful else they lose it all.

Stuttgart is the favorite to win the game even so far Stuttgart has been able to dominate the match almost 68%, so it didn't take long for Stuttgart to score its first goal of the day through Guilrasy in the 19th minute, seeing the impressive game of Stuttgart today looks like it will be difficult for Union to get a victory at the end of the game later, the motivation of Stuttgart players continues to increase after the first goal is created and even now more intense in attack Although it is still often wasted.

The poor accuracy of passes by union players often makes it easier for stuttgart players to get the ball and I think now we just have to wait for the time before the second goal will be scored, you have made the right decision by betting for a stuggart victory today and I am sure you will enjoy the victory when the game ends because it seems a bit impossible if Union can win with the current game performance.
If Stuttgart can maintain their victory then today they will be able to get closer to Munich who have not played their week 25 match and I think for now even Stuttgart start to have a chance to eliminate Munich from second place if they lose against Mainz later.
Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too.

 They've had a tough weekend game against Monchengladbach though but still they stood out. For Leverkusen, against Darmstadt away from home was very much impactful and advantageous to their advancement on the league standings too. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with. Even their game against Union Berlin yesterday ended in their favor with a 2-nil goal margin, it was a result expected of them still considering their impacts made already in the league from the start of the season till this game week.

 They've been able to fight to earn the position they're comfortably sitting on now. Yes Union Berlin were and are still an unpredictable team who's had the history of coming out of the blue to cause difficult and less effective game outcomes for teams but one way or the other, Stuttgart were able to overpower them and ensured to keep a clean sheet. It's a boost to their league game points and their confidence ahead of games left till the round up of the season. They're a fighting side and testifyingly, this season has very much been favourable to them and they just have to bask in its glamour and do their best to hold onto their efforts and ensure that there's no decline subsequently. They're a great team and it'll be more fun that this tempo is kept up with until seasons to come.

We can't just blame Cristiano Ronaldo, because in appearance he was actually still quite helpful for the team, but the other supporting teams played below their best and not just one or two players, but almost all Manchester United players at that time played below proper performance. This ultimately makes the team not as expected. I don't think it's fair to only blame one person, because we know that football is a team game.
What makes Ronaldo perhaps not liked by many is because of his always ambitious attitude, he always does what he wants to do without thinking about the impact on the team (in this case the negative impact). But we also can't look at it from another point of view, because if we look at it from various points of view, what Ronaldo does has a good side too.
From the start I also had doubts about the seriousness of management in managing this team, and at the same time Ronaldo appeared in an interview revealing what was happening within the team (of course this was from his point of view). But if we look, there are similarities between what he said and what happened. So I started to believe that what he said was true.
When I saw Ronaldo coming back to Manchester United though I had chills but at a point I was like why?? Will he still be effective?. It proved his return wasn’t met well by the coach Ten Hag because of the negative imapct it had in the club. The club had some needs and when Ronaldo came back they obviously forgot what they needed and made sure football is played all around Ronaldo and that reAl brought in a sense of pride for the Balon D’Or winner.

 Erik Ten Hag took over and showed he’s in charge and that was what was needed at that time. The iron hands of the boss was what the team needed. Though we can’t blame Ronaldo for the bad performance of the team as he proved to be helpful on so many occasions even before the arrival of Ten Hag.  His interview was the line drawer for him and that made Hag lose hope and every confidence and trust in him and if you look at the interview and what’s going on now, then you’ll see some sort of truth in what he spoke about then.

 Well though the board to an extent were wrong in bringing him back and trying to build the team around him rather they would have brought him back amd make him come in from the bench that way it would have been more honorable and get match winning victory than the humiliation he was put through. Ronaldo is still an integral part of the club’s success and history and he’s still loyal to the cluv and vice versa though things went wrong but I think it could have been better if a different approach was followed.
