Üst üste 6 galibiyet alan Arsenal aynı zamanda çok gol atıyor ve rakiplerine gözdağı veriyor. Bu periyotta Leicester'ı tek golle geçtiler ama diğer beş maçta hep 3-4 gol attılar. Jesus döndükten sonra iki maçta sonradan oyuna girdi ve az süre aldı. Ondan gol katkısı gelmese de Martinelli, Saka ve Ødegaard inanılmaz verimli oynuyor. Savunma oyuncuları dahi gol katkısı veriyor. Takım böyle olunca haliyle önünde kimse duramaz.
Aynı 6 maçlık dönemde 5 galibiyet alıp Nottingham Forest ile berabere kalan Manchester City yarışın sonuna kadar Arsenal'in hata yapmasını bekleyecek gibi görünüyor. 26 Nisan'da oynanacak maç şampiyonluğun düğümünü çözebilir veya yarışın son haftalara kadar uzamasına neden olabilir. Ligin bitmesine sadece 10 maç kaldı.

Dallas Mavericks played three periods perfectly, but they screwed up so badly in the last quarter that they only scored 12 points. Although Jaren Jackson Jr. got into foul trouble, Santi Aldama filled his place very well. Tyus Jones kept them in the game when Memphis fell back. Desmond Bane played a disastrous match. He made only one three-pointer, which came late in the game.
Ja Morant's suspension is over, but he didn't play in this match as he didn't work with the team. He's expected to play in the next match.
Dallas lost the game in their hands. It was fun for us to watch though. Memphis Grizzlies retained their second place in Western Conference. Dallas Mavericks missed a great opportunity. Things are more complicated for them now.

Cenk Tosun rejected Chicago Fire's offer. That was the right decision. Cenk is not that old, it's too early for him to go to America. It would make sense for him to go there towards the end of his career, but 1 more year can be considered as his prime period and he can play at top level for 2 more years. He still plays at a high level and scores constantly.
The Premier League adventure didn't go well for him due to injuries, but now he has a very good form in the Turkish League and his number of goals has reached double digits already. That was his first since 2016/17 championship season. His finishing is good, despite last few games he missed some chances. If they agree on a new deal I believe his performance will be better.

Demek ki çok fazla sürpriz olmamış. Sezon başındaki favori takımlar konferanslarını önde götürmüş. Bucks ve Celtics iyi bir sezon geçirdi, bunların yanında Sixers son galibiyet serisiyle aralarına girdi. Mitchell ve Garland ile Cavs da rüya gibi bir sezon yaşıyor. Doğuda ilk 4 az çok oturdu. Kendi aralarında sıraları değişebilir ama sezon sonu ilk dörtte kalacaklardır.
Triple double istatistikli Jokić ile Nuggets Batı liderliğini aldı diyebiliriz. Kings bu sezon çok ekstra bir oyun oynadı ve ikinci sırada bulunuyor. Normal sezonun sürprizi onlar. Televizyon çok fazla maçlarını vermiyor nedense. De'Aaron Fox ve Sabonis liderliğinde beklentilerin çok üzerinde galibiyet aldılar. Morantsız da kazanan Grizzlies üçüncü ama ondan sonrası tam anlamıyla kaos. Dördüncü Suns'ın bile play-off dışı kalma ihtimali var. Kimin nerede bitireceği hiç belli değil. Lig sonu çok heyecanlı geçecek.


Ligin bitmesine 10-12 maç var. Play-off ve play-in sıralamasında saydığım takımlar dışında her şey değişebilir. Doğuda ilk dört ve batıda ilk üç hariç takımlar birbirine çok yakın.

Only ten games left. Even if Manchester City win the missing game and decrease point difference to 5, that means Arsenal have to slip in two games and City  don't make any mistakes. It doesn't look like both teams make a mistake though. Both teams will play with Liverpool and Chelsea and they play with each other. There is no fixture advantage for any sides. I still believe Arsenal will go until the end and lift that long awaited trophy.

Maçtan önce 2-1 gibi bir skor beklentim vardı o yüzden güzel bir orandan 2.5 gol üstü oynamıştım. Real Madrid ikinci golü atınca fazla sevinemedim ama ofsayt nedeniyle gol iptal edildi. Maç bitmeden bir gol daha olacağına emindim. Geç de olsa Barcelona'nın galibiyet golü geldi. Bu sezon üç El Clasico'yu da Barca kazandı. Artık şampiyonluk yarışı bitti, puan farkı 12'ye çıktı. Barcelona bu sezon çok daha iyiydi. Üç sezon aranın ardından beklenen şampiyonluk geliyor.

The best case scenario happened for Borussia Dortmund this week, they won and Bayern lost. I was kinda expecting this, at some point Bayer Leverkusen had to beat Bayern, as they haven't in last seven games. Finally this streak over. Unexpected part was two penalties for Leverkusen but it doesn't really matter, a goal is a goal.
Now hopes are up for Dortmund. Will we see another champion after a decade finally? I hope so. But there are still nine games and the big game after national break will be very important for both teams.

I haven't used sportsbet.io for a while and came back with a win.
As I said in La Liga thread I was expecting over 2.5 goals for El Clasico and odds were great in the site. I couldn't stop myself to use this opportunity.
I hope my luck goes on with my NBA bets as well.

A typical derby, what more do you expect? I was waiting for Lazio win as they were in better form and had stadium advantage, we saw how fans affect the game and pushed the team in a good way. Roger Ibañez's early red card was a positive thing for Lazio but if it had 11 on 11 I don't think much things will change. Lazio was the favorite and won by one goal. They deserve to be second more than others. Lazio's mascot eagle also joined winning celebrations.

Napoli is playing absolute nuts. Nobody can stop this team. The league will finish in June but they probably guarantee to win it in April. What a season for them, now they can focus on Champions League more.

It's El Clasico night! FC Barcelona is nine points ahead of Real Madrid and they are in a very comfortable position. Even if they lose tonight they still have a big advantage. For that reason the pressure over Real Madrid will be more. Real has no choice but to win the game, but Barca is okay with a draw so they can keep the point difference same. Real Madrid will take more risks. It's the last chance for them.
Let's see squads. Both teams will play 4-3-3 and they don't have any big players missing. Raphinha, Gavi and Lewandowski will look out for goals in Barca and Benzema, Vini Jr. and Valverde in Real Madrid.
I expect both teams to score and one team to win the game so my choice is over 2.5 goals. Odds were tempting so I took it at 2.08.

Finally Dortmund is back on track. All attackers scored today. Dahoud's free kick wasn't a goal but Haller finished. Köln goalkeeper Schwabe might play one of the worst games in his career. Look at Malen's goal for example, he could've saved it. 6 conceded goals in 8 shots on target, that tells something.
Haller was much needed for Dortmund offense and he started scoring again. Although he couldn't finish any games yet he could play 70+ minutes now. It's nice to see Dortmund at the top again even though Bayern has a missing game. That would surely put some pressure over them.

So three Russian guys manage 1xbet and it's known but when you research 1xbit owners it's kinda anonymous and we have to take a guess. I found that Wikipedia also listed them as subsidiary company so probably it belongs to same group of people.
I just wonder how 1xbet manage to actively do partnerships with big clubs such as FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC Lille but on the other hand 1xbit reputation goes down deeper every day. That's something you wouldn't expect for a billion dollar company to do.

Well, that was worse than expected. Valencia is clearly having difficulties both in defense and attack. Alarm is ringing for them. Manager changes couldn't affect them well, still there is no good attacking plan and they concede too many goals. Seven matches loss in a row in away games, that's unacceptable.
If Getafe get a point against Sevilla, Valencia will be in relegation zone again. They need serious recovery. I admit that it wasn't easy to get points from the Atletico Madrid match, but now they have to win in the target matches. Even a draw against Almeria, Elche, Valladolid and Cadiz would be a bad result for Valencia.

In first half Beşiktaş got the ball possession, İstanbulspor played like a typical Anatolian club against big three, gave ball to opponent and closed down much. Beşiktaş couldn't create big chances but in last minutes they found the goal with a corner organisation. Ghezzal's return had a positive impact. He came back with another assist. Onur Bulut played way better than Rosier in right wing. He's the right player for that position. Both attack and defense he's very efficient.
Beşiktaş have to find second goal in second half to finish the job. İstanbulspor now need to take more risks and give gaps in defense. Beşiktaş have to use these opportunities. Muleka likes these fast counter attack games, maybe that move would be better. Maxim and Redmond are also players that can change the game waiting in the bench.

I thought both sites have same owners but lately I read they are different platforms with different owners. I couldn't find the reliable info on this and I'm confused now. Can you point me to the official source on both sides are same company with slightly different operations?
Although 1xbit has a lot of scam accusations here, 1xbet has big sponsorship agreements. It's hard for me to understand why aren't they doing anything about their reputation if they're both affiliated with the same company.

There is a good Saturday game for us fans. Beşiktaş will play with İstanbulspor at home. Stadium will probably be full. It will be a good atmosphere.
In the first game of this season Beşiktaş couldn't beat İstanbulspor and the match ended draw after away teams goal in last minutes. Beşiktaş shouldn't let that happen again. There is a serious quality difference between these teams.
İstanbulspor is still in relegation zone but this isn't the match they should target three points. I expect a different goals Beşiktaş win. Aboubakar is back at his best form and scored in last two games. Redmond plays better in every game. Cenk Tosun has been spending the clear goal positions generously in the last few matches, but he will recover. Beşiktaş should win this match differently and show their opponents that they are still in the race.

Looking at the remaining teams in the Conference League, I see West Ham United as the serious favourites. I watched the matches played by Fiorentina, I liked them too. They beat Sivasspor by playing well. West Ham United could win this trophy if they take it seriously. Other teams are the average teams of Europe. I don't see a team that stands out. There is not much difference between them.

I was expecting Feyenoord win but didn't expect 7 goals from them. And they did it only in 2/3 of the game. They stopped pressing and attacking in last period of the game. Sure it was a bad night for Shakhtar Donetsk, they scored a goal in last minutes. Nice run and one touch came from youngster Kevin Kelsy. He was probably the only positive thing for Ukrainian side today.

Sevilla eliminated Fenerbahçe but it was way harder than expected. They saw how important was the two goals lead in first game. It could've gone to extra time. Anyway they are in quarter final now. They'll learn from this loss and be happy to advance, they are still the favorite of this cup.

I would rate Real Madrid and Manchester City S. They are top tier and potential winner of this tournament.
Bayern München and Napoli would be rated A. It's very possible for them to win the tournament. Napoli is in quarter final for the first time but their squad quality is above average considering their opponents.
I'd say AC Milan and Chelsea are good clubs with impressive history, but not good enough to win the cup with their current form. Benfica and Inter are clubs that already achieved something by making to quarter finals, anywhere above here would be a big surprise for them.

So my list is as follows:
Real Madrid
Manchester City
Bayern München
Napoli
AC Milan
Chelsea
Benfica
Inter

Anyone know why Pep took out Haaland? The man scored 5 goals, he would break the record if he played a little more. From the 60th minute, Pep took him out of the game. Okay, you might be thinking about the Premier League, but let the guy play a little longer and break the record. I couldn't understand this at all.
It's an evening that Leipzig will want to forget as soon as possible. They probably didn't expect such a match after the advantageous result they got in the first leg.
