Bayern Munich need a win in their match away to Wolfsburg headquarters if they are to regain the position taken by Union Berlin who finished their game earlier this week. Now Union Berlin is 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich. This match will not be easy for Bayern Munich because their opponent is not a team that can be taken lightly with victory after victory even though they stopped last week. If Bayern Munich does a not-so-good job then the potential for them to lose points is even greater.
Moreover, this match is an away match for Bayern Munich, of course this will feel a little difficult. Bayern Munich not only have to shift Union Berlin's position at the top but they also have to widen the distance from Dortmund who have the same 37 points and that in my opinion is quite bad for Bayern Munich considering that Dortmund have continued to play consistently these few matches. They (Bayern Munich) must be vigilant in every movement of the team behind them, if they are not careful then one day Bayern Munich will be out of the hunt for the Bundesliga title this season. The performance of the Bayern Munich team is not sustainable. A slight deterioration in the performance of the team players is being observed. But expect Bayern Munich to bounce back with their best performance. |

The problems in the relationship between Mbappe and Neymar have been talked about a lot more recently than the problem in the relationship between Mbappe and Messi.
The owners of PSG definitely made a big mistake when they decided on the strategy of buying the biggest stars of world football, not realizing that each of these footballers has a big ego and wants to be the biggest and most important in the team.
Of course, this is not possible in reality, and due to the conflict between the main stars of the team, the whole team has been playing badly in the French league lately, and they are no longer favorites in the Champions League either.
The owners of PSG really invested huge money in the team but now they understand the hard truth that success in the Champions League cannot be bought with money and that although they have the best players in the world, they do not have the best team in the world.
I have a slightly different view. I think Messi is well aware that he cannot perform extraordinary at his current age. in the first season, Messi had a little difficulty adapting. in the second season, messi played more as a playmaker to serve his two colleagues, namely Neymar and Mbappe. meaning, Messi has left his ego to no longer always score goals. the problem that happened was with Mbappe, he felt he was more special than the other stars. The feud between Mbappe and Neymar is very familiar to us, even rumors regarding PSG stars never escape the news. in fact, not infrequently they still play professionally on the field. The problem is, PSG do not have midfielders who are creative enough when building attacks. especially when facing teams that tend to defend. I think last January, Galtier will bring in a newcomer who plays as an attacking midfielder. but in fact, that didn't happen. related to Mbappe's injury, by the way. as we know, PSG's front line will be slightly less sharp. but in truth, we cannot rule out the existence of Neymar and Messi. because after all, Bayern will not underestimate PSG in the first leg later. I pretty much agree PSG have a considerable shortage of midfielders. Midfielder is one of the playmakers, the entire attacking play depends on the midfielder. Another weakness of PSG is their defense line, they hold the ball for too long. |

Actually, in this condition, I don't know why I feel a little tired of discussing the condition of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. This condition has always been discussed even for several seasons and it is happening again now.
I think this condition should be stopped immediately, but indeed, when the media always does things like this, even if they work, this is a little outrageous if it continues to be brought up, I think because regardless of anything, if even that doesn't turn out to be true, it could change when a third party says.
Mane is currently still recovering and it's quite natural that many still have doubts, especially with his current condition, which is actually getting bigger than doubt after a long injury now. There's no denying that Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are the most talked about players at PSG. They are great strikers and it's only natural that they get a lot of media attention and coverage. I don't see any problem with how the media talks about them too much, but I might disagree if even the smallest things they experience are made bigger by the media. PSG vs Bayern Munich is the most anticipated match in the Champions League, but I believe Bayern Munich seems to have more support to qualify for the quarter-finals. But I'm thinking something different, and I think PSG have chance to qualify for the quarter-finals as well. I can think 50/50 of the chance, and these two teams should have the upper hand at their home ground. For now that's money happening. Regardless of anything, when we talk about PSG's performance which is a little shaky or there is news about player transfer rumors between them, there must be one reason about their relationship not getting along and this is not once or twice but the last few seasons that have made this really too much. When talking about PSG and Bayern it is clear that there will be several opinions going on but indeed I agree with you even though PSG is strong but in this case Bayern will be superior and become the top 8 candidates later. The chemistry between Messi, Neymar and Mbappe has not been the kind of performance we've been hoping for so far. One of the goals in signing Lionel Messi to PSC is to achieve something great in the Champions League. But no performance of PSC team can be noticed that they can do well in Champions League. |

AC Milan seems to have to fight harder in the match against Inter Milan. Because AC Milan really needs points to be able to return to 2nd place. Meanwhile, Inter Milan will certainly fight hard so they can get full points again so that no one shifts their current ranking which is in 2nd place. It is really impressive to see the competition this season so far more fierce. Only Napoli are still comfortable at the top of the standings with the acquisition of points which are indeed very high, namely 53 points.
Three points are really important for ac milan right now. AC Milan is still struggling with its performance to come back again to the best performance. 2 loses and 2 draws from the last 5 matches in series a are very bad achievements by ac milan. I expect the performance from ac milan to be better when it will be facing intermilan. Intermilan seems to win against ac milan. i consider the performance of intermilan in the last five matches in series a. I believe intermilan will be dominating the match against ac milan. I will take intermilan for sure. AC Milan team performance is not very good. Over the last few matches there have been more defeats overall. Team players need to perform better. And the team coach needs to figure out the problems and solve them. |

Erik Ten Hag is showing good signs of a better future for the club. He has made quite an impact in the team and the players now understand the task and objectives of the manager and are showing this character on and off the pitch. Manchester United are playing much better football and will certainly give Barcelona a tough one to contend with when they go head to head in the Europa league play offs.
Both teams have done a very good job lately, they have good coaches, they have been very much strengthened by young players and therefore I cannot choose any clear favorite here. Anyone can be the winner, it will be a good confrontation and I doubt that any of the coaches will put up a non-main team, even if the EL is not such a prestigious tournament as the Champions League, then this confrontation is prestigious itself. For putting the non main team one thing is sure,Manchester United is not leading the standings like Barcelona is in La Liga so Manchester United it is a known thing that they will be putting their main squad and Europa League despite not being prestigious enough as the Champions League,many consider it the second best thing,so in this sense is prestigious also. For Barcelona I think they have the luxury of risking a game in La Liga as they are 5 points ahead and as such I doubt they will also be playing with a non main squad in this encounter. This match is really important for both the teams. Both teams are likely to field their best players. After a long time, Barcelona is going to play against a big team. But since Barcelona beat Real Madrid a few days ago, they have great confidence. I see Barcelona as favorite in this match. |

I don't think so. I understand you were putting MU is a bit weaker compared with barcelona. Barcelona itself was seeing la liga is far more important rather than europa league. Even laporta itself was feeling disappointed after barcelona goes to the europa league.
Manchester United are weaker than Barcelona but if they are weaker, it is a little bit only. Do you think Manchester City are weaker than Barcelona? They are stronger than both Barcelona and Manchester United. If Manchester United can beat Manchester City in Manchester Derby, they can beat Barcelona in Europa League. We should know results are not come from math but by using this example, I want to say Manchester United have chance to beat Barcelona, just have chance. Beating Barcelona or not, we will only know after their two matches complete. Im thinking about barcelona will always be playing with the main squad in any of competitions. Dembele was getting injury. Dembele will not be playing against MU.
I think that barcelona will not even thinking to use non main squad for the upcoming match in la liga. It's better for barcelona to keep 5 points gap rather than become even closer with madrid.
Maybe they don't have confidence that they can win with a B-team and they try to use their main squad anytime they can. It is difference between good and world-class clubs in their substitution player resource. Without good substitution players, a club can not be competitive enough in all matches and in all competitions during a very long season. Considering the current performance, Barcelona is much ahead of Manchester United. Barcelona have secured victory in each of the last few matches. Every player in the team is at their best. So Barcelona have more chances to beat Manchester United. |

What you were saying was true. MU has very bad record against Barcelona. MU was so difficult to beat Barcelona. Xavi has raphinha as a replacement for dembele. Raphinha has proven itself during the match against real betis. I think that there should not be a problem with barcelone even playing without dembele. Barcelona is feeling so good with the composition of the current squad. I think that this gonna be a game that may not able to be won by united. It's still a match that can't be determined easily
However it is, Dembele's injury is going to be a problem for Barcelona. He's the most creative attacker they have and he will be missed. The odds of the game favor Barcelona not only because of history but i believe Barcelona are in a better place than Manchester United. Despite the good result from United lately you can see that the players are still struggling to really play the kind of football he wants from them, they choke against formidable opponents at times. There is still a lot of room for improvement in Barcelona but the players already understand what Xavi wants from them, its the execution that's a problem. I don't think it going to be a match won by individual brilliance, it's going to rely more on the coaches tactics. Dembele's hamstring injury is very detrimental for Barcelona that we know his speed to dribble is beyond doubt and as a right winger he has played quite well this season. But indeed he is doubtful to appear when he meets Manchester United later, but that has been resolved by Xavi and the temporary Dembele position will continue to be filled by Raphinha or Ansu Fati until Dembele has recovered from injury. So barcelona will probably still put up a tough fight against manchester united and I think it will be even more interesting. Dembele is one of the key players for the Barcelona team. I think his injury will have a special impact on the team. Currently every match of Barcelona is very important, Dembele playing in these matches would be very beneficial for the team. |

Is this the same team Lampard had under his management that got fans protesting! See how better they are playing. The team right now is on another level of energy with the employment of a new manager in Sean Dyche and you can tell Arsenal is frustrated. There have been lots and lots of chances created but the finishing has been the only thing keeping them from goal.
A. Onana created a very good chance for Calvert-Lewin and all was needed was just to slide it in but, he was inches away from the ball. Abdoulaye Doucoure had his chance with a header that went wide. He ought to have done better with that ball for sure, a no contested ball and he was right there in front of the post. Calvert-Lewin again had another chance with a header but couldn't direct it on target.
B. Saka had his chance but Conor Coady was right on the line to bak J. Pickford up with the clearance. Nketiah had his chance sent wide with an attempt to roof the ball.
The game has been nothing short of a excitement in the first half, let's see what changes to the game the managers would make both tactically and substitutes in the second half.
Chelsea played very well in the match between Chelsea and Fulham. All the controls are great. Chelsea dominated the game more. But neither team was able to score. But Chelsea needed to score. |

Sevilla must have been relieved after securing three victories in last five matches in the league. However I have bad news for them. Their next match is against Barcelona in Camp Nou.  We all know how amazing Barcelona are now. They have only 2 draws and 1 loss so far. This is a very consistent effort and they will play very determinedly in this match without doubt. Sevilla seemed like they have made a little improvement in their defense lately. But their wins in those matches were against weak teams though. Barcelona is a huge challenge for them. Obviously Barcelona will dominate with their game. I can imagine the ball possession percentage already. I expect them to keep Sevilla away from their goal most of the time and get a decent win. Barcelona's performance is much better than Sevilla's. Currently, Barcelona is performing exceptionally well. The young players in the team look like they are very experienced. Behind this good performance of the team is only hard work. |

All that said, the vulnerability for England was their bowling, and not any other department. Even Archer bowled poorly in the first match, when he conceded 81 runs from his 10 overs. No one among the England bowlers performed in a consistent manner.
Agreed. England have so many amazing batsmen, but they have very few amazing bowlers these days which is why they are dominating all the formats like before. They need consistent bowlers like Broad, Anderson etc in their squad. This is why I feel that their chances of winning the upcoming ODI World Cup are lower when compared to teams like Australia, India etc. I would say that England is not favorites for the upcoming ODI World Cup. Because we know that England has some explosive batsmen. Every batsman is in very good form. Scoring 300 runs is easy for England batsmen. However, the performance of England's bowlers is very poor. If the bowlers are not good, I do not see the possibility of England's good results in the World Cup. India and South Africa teams are in very good form now. I think the chances of these two teams winning the title are very high. I want to place the Australian team in third place. Australia's performance is now quite stable. I guess India will be able to win the title. South Africa are now back to their old performances. In the middle they really disappointed the fans. However, there are many qualified veteran players in the team who have been able to re-fit themselves and make the team stronger. |

Jos freaking Buttler! Wow! This man is the new run machine these days. He keeps delivering consistently great performances in the ODI and test formats in recent times which makes him someone to watch out for in the upcoming World Cup.
Archer returned with a bang, but one epic performance isn't enough to state whether he is back in form or not.
Yes Jos Buttler was in good form in the last match and continuously he is making good scores and I think he is good for England in the coming ODI ICC world cup. I was looking the prediction board before this match and I was looking much more votes in the favor of England team and as it is we saw a great performance from England team. Now the series is finished with 2-1. I did not get the performance I expected from England against South Africa. Because in almost every match, England's batsmen performed well, but the bowlers' performance was poor. They bowled very badly. They lost even after giving a big score target of 343 runs. I will say that if the performance of the bowlers is not stronger in the coming days, then I do not consider the England team to be the favorite for the next World Cup. India and South Africa teams are much stronger and stable now. England have been badly beaten in the first two matches against South Africa. As England lost the first two matches, South Africa secured their series. But in the last match, England was able to perform well. Jos Buttler has to be mentioned. He has been able to do his excellent performance. |

If I consider the next three matches in Serie A for Napoli, I think Napoli have got quite an easy opponent. Because Napoli will play against Spezia, Cremonese and Sassuolo before Napoli play in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt.
With these factors, I think Napoli's path to playing well in the Champions League is very good at this moment. I personally don't doubt Napoli's performance at the moment, so I can be confident that Napoli will get the expected points in the next four matches in Serie A.
Napoli are performing really well. Their style of play has improved a lot. They are showing their dominance in the Serie A league. |

Big match Serie A this week
City rivals Inter and Milan will meet this week at the San Siro
Inter have the potential to dominate the match based on their statistics in the last few matches
Milan's consistency in Serie A seems to have decreased after being hold to a draw in Roma some time ago, Milan continue to experience defeat after that meet. Even a team like Sassuolo managed to embarrass Milan in front of their supporters
Manchester City is currently one of the best clubs. Although the best players like Messi and Neymar do not play in that club. However, the quality of players in that team is very high. Whose playing style is very advanced. However, the team's coach plays one of the most effective roles in this team's performance. |

I have just been reading up on those fan protests that seem to translate into people cancelling their subscriptions with SKY and DAZN. One source says that the damage caused for the broadcasters could be well more than 100 million Euro. It's interesting to see the options fan actually do have to put pressure onto their beloved sports clubs.
It is a bit sad that things turned out this way because it looked like Juventus might be in a position to make the race for the title at least a bit more exciting than it currently is. I am not sure what Juventus' overall financial situation is, but with all the trouble they are facing (from their fans included), this could severely backfire and throw them back ages in development. If they don't qualify for any international tournament, they might be forced to sell lots of players and they will have an extraordinarily hard time to sign any new strong ones.
Juventus is currently performing fairly well. The team is missing some great players. I think that if Juventus add players with attacking performance, the team will be much stronger. |

I strongly doubt that Ronaldo will play in the 2026 world cup, if you watched their game against morocco(not 100 percent sure) in the last world cup which brought about their disqualification from the tournament, Ronaldo was crying while leaving the football pitch, many believe that the reason why he was crying was because the 2022 world cup match was his last, and he thought he could have done better but failed, even through out the entire game Portugal played in the 2022 world cup, Ronaldo wasn't as active and vibrant like the Ronaldo we all used to know, i highly doubt his participation in 2026 world cup.
Even though it was once doubted that Ronaldo would not appear at the 2026 world cup, I saw the official video release from the Portuguese national team Instagram account where the new coach Roberto Martínez said that he would still add Ronaldo's name to his list in the Portugal squad, but this does not mean Ronaldo can strengthen Portugal in the 2026 world cup which I think is impossible considering that Ronaldo is already 38 years old now and if you wait until the 2026 world cup title he will definitely be 42 years old in my opinion that is too old, but for other competitions like Euro 2024 I think he is will still appear to defend the Portuguese national team, even though he will only be a substitute on the bench. I also think that Cristiano Ronaldo's career is at its end now. There is absolutely no chance of playing the World Cup in 2026. His game shows no progress. He could not match himself in the new club. |

Napoli vs Roma will happen tomorrow it will be an exciting game in my opinion roma team has improved greatly in the recent games both in terms of performance and results which allowed them to stay on the top six but i think napoli will be too much for them to handle i expect them to perform well but i still think napoli will end up winning the game.
Yes, there is more confident for Napoli to win this match because at this point they will not allow any team to have chance to reduce their points than to make use of their potential players to maintain the first position in the Italian league table till the end of the tournament. And it will be difficult for Roma to stop Napoli strikers not to achieve goals from this match, because they will definitely achieve goals that will make them to defeat Roma 1-3 to prepare the mind of their fans that they have what it takes to win this Italian league title this season. Roma is not a team to push aside because they still can win this match if Napoli is not careful. Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach that is technically good. He might identify any loophole in the Napoli team and capitalize on it and make a difference. But Napoli possesses the mentality of a champion. Their strikers are currently the best in Italy and they also have a solid defense and midfield. This match is the star match today and I expect it to be very entertaining. In the Napoli vs Roma match, I am placing Napoli ahead. Because Roma have no better player than Paulo Dybala. But Napoli have a lot of good players in their side, which they have the ability to beat Roma. |

Seeing from the current conditions it is clear that this is a little difficult for Madrid, especially Sociedada always has a pretty good defense.
But of course, if you look at the results of the last match in the Copa del Rey, even though it was not too decisive, of course this also had an effect on the mental side, especially with Madrid's victory and the defeat suffered by Sociedad before.
This condition will still remain the same even though they have a pretty good defense, but I think Madrid will still be the winner in this match.
After seeing Barcelona manage to win against their opponent Girona in last night's match, it seems that Real Madrid will try to win this match against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid will find it quite difficult, especially the performance of some of its players in the previous game, such as Valverde and Mendy, who still often make mistakes on the field, making the coach have to be more observant about who he will put as the starting line-up later. But I will still favor Real Madrid to win this match, I think the match will end with a narrow score of 1-0. Barcelona had to work hard to win this match. Most of the advantage in the game is gained by the opposing team. However, Barcelona's defense lineup played superbly. Barcelona are currently in their best form. |

It was such an easy victory for Sevilla today. They didn't have any struggle against Elche in their home game. It was a 3-0 win and Elche's getting that red card made things even easier for Sevilla to win.
However even if that red card wasn't shown Sevilla would still have won this game by a dominant game. Because there was a significant difference between these teams before anything else. And there has been some improvement in Sevilla's form recently after getting two wins in the league. These wins will hopefully increase their confidence and they will maintain a decent streak from now on. Indeed Sevilla should win more match from now on. They have suffered too much since the start of the season, but it is still difficult to expect Sevilla to be consistent in every match. The bad thing about Sevilla right now is that they lost so many points in easy matches and have only been able to win the 5 matches they have played so far. 5 of the 19 matches have been won, 6 of them have been draws while they have lost 8 of them. The first half of the season should serve as lesson for Sevilla to get him up and running during the second half of the season. They are very likely to continue to move and improve their performance, and now is the time for them to do so. Sevilla played brilliantly against the Elche. Sevilla kept possession for the entire game. The Elche could not create any chances. Sevilla's Argentinian player Acuna played superbly. |

AC Milan welcome Tottenham to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the first leg of the teams’ Champions League Round of 16 tie on Tuesday, February 14thAC Milan are favourites to get the better result against the English side Tottenham in the first leg of the sides’ Round of 16 tussle in the Champions League. Tottenham have failed to impress for the majority of the 2022/23 club campaign and frustrations about the team’s style of play under Antonio Conte has contributed to the gloomy mood around the club. AC Milan will hope to take advantage of their visitor’s plight in the first leg of the Round of 16, and though they lost twice to Chelsea in the Champions League group stage, the Milanese giants have the quality to produce an improved performance against a weaker Spurs outfit. With that considered, I sucumb to the fact that the hosts is going to win this one.
The AC Milan vs Tottenham match in the Champions League will be held in about 2 weeks from now. So that the current performance of the two teams cannot be a strong reference for later. But AC Milan might indeed be the favorite in this match. because AC Milan hosted the match. But we also need to know that currently AC Milan's performance has decreased slightly. even lately AC Milan has not won back either in Serie A or in the Coppa Italia. Even in Serie A AC milan has suffered a big defeat by Lazio with a score of 4-0. But as I said that the last 16 match for AC Milan vs Tottenham will take place in 2 weeks from now. so maybe at that time AC Milan will return to their best performance again. But if until then AC Milan don't show their best form again then I think Tottenham will probably win the last 16 match later. Tottenham favorite in AC Milan vs Tottenham match. Tottenham captain Lloris. The team has progressed very well under his leadership. But Harry Kane is not able to support the team like before. Tottenham now need to recruit some new attacking players to the squad. |

When it comes to the story about Real Madrid and Liverpool, Madrid usually be the team that marries Liverpool in the pitch, this time around the story will still be the same, and Liverpool will find it even more difficult to win Real Madrid in this game as ever find it difficult before, due to their poor form in the premier league compition and their in ability to improve their performance.
Liverpool was at the bottom now. Liverpool not even comparable with real madrid at this moment. Let's see what's gonna be the result from Liverpool in the next match on EPL. I doubt if Liverpool can even make it. Real madrid is slowly coming back again as king of come back. The overall performance by real madrid is still very good compared with Liverpool. I think that real madrid will take it as easy match. Liverpool shall not be underrated but the performance from the club was making me feeling doubt. Let's wait for what kind of surprise will be shown by Liverpool. Since his decline, Liverpool have not gained much trust, especially when their opponent is Real Madrid, where they can beat Liverpool and stop Liverpool in this Champions League. Looking at Liverpool now, we just have to wait to see how they play later. Will they be able to show surprise or no hope at all. It's a shame that a big team like them is in such a difficult situation. It's worthy to wait but if Liverpool will be getting another bad result in EPL and I'm not sure Liverpool gonna give a hard game against real madrid. The time is always going on. We have become even closer to the UCL. There's no time for Liverpool to keep stay with its poor performance. I think that the result from local league can be a good measurement for the performance of Liverpool. Madrid was on another level but yeah gave Liverpool some time. It's gonna be a shame for Liverpool if the new transfers will become unsuccessful transfer. Sometimes the performance in the Domestic league does not influence the performance in other leagues, Most especially when the league is the champion league. I don't expect anything less from Liverpool as long as it has to do with the UEFA champion league. so no matter the current performance, I still believe that Liverpool's match against Real Madrid may become the most shocking football tail in the history of the 2022/23 champion league tournament The Champions League is currently in full swing. Matches are very important for every team, all teams are trying to move forward with their best. So the current matches have accumulated. |
