Leverkusen and Bayern Munich just continue on their way strongly. Bayern Munich really need to win their absent game to follow their opponent more closely. I'm hoping to see Xabi Alonso maintaining this performance to become the champions at the end.  These clubs were getting good result but leverkusen seems quite struggling to beat augburg. I know that if augsburg was a strong club, and this is the main problem. Bayern munich has been beating its opponent with huge margins which was showing the capability of bayern to win the competition. Leverkusen needs to increase its performance. The attacking line has been so wasteful against augsburg and this is the fact. It's hard to remove the image if leverkusen was so struggling to beat augsburg in the last match. Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well.  Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible. Hopefully Bayern Leverkusen keeps on setting the gap longer as much and as long as Bayern Munich slumbers and flops. They won last weekend but they didn't have a good game in between for those who saw that game would understand whatever I'm tryna say right now. The loses they've had don't count now, it's to focus on what's ahead. It's best they focus on the fixtures ahead and how they'll weekly get all of them three points. Impressive of Xabi Alonso and his Bayern Leverkusen lads, it should be a good season of joy if they out in double of whatever they did during the first half of the season. |

Nigeria is really a collection of big names but no team work. Even though the in the game of football, anything is possible, I think it will be funny for anyone to have high hopes in Nigeria winning the host tomorrow. This is just a simple matter of being realistic.
It’s popular opinion that the Super Eagles manager, José Peseiro is unable to make the best of this team. Ivory Coast is not a star studded team, they no longer have big names like Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré and Kolo Touré. Still it is not going to be easy for the super Eagles. My mind is telling me Nigeria will lose but my heart is telling me we will win. Now, in a situation like this, should we believe your mind or your heart?  I watched the Zambia verses Congo Dr game yesterday, and though the game ended in a 1:1 draw, Congo Dr played a very good game even though Zambia had the most ball possession, Congo Dr were always in the goal post of zambia and did miss a couple of opportunities they would have converted to a goal. After watching that match yesterday, I hope for Nigeria winning their game against ivory coast today was raised high, though I am not betting a dime on this game, but I am crossing my fingers for the super eagles and hoping they make us proud this time. Good around the penalty box shouldn't have just scored a single goal, they should ha e doubled that goal up, that's what we mean by good at goal. Anyways props to em as they gotta point out if the game. Y'all still have hopes about Nigeria? Funny how the Nigerian Football Federation goes about dictating what the coach should do and not do in this game. Don't forget too many cooks spoil the soup. We just have few food players who play as a team in that squad,the rest are complete gamblers. What's a player like Iwobi doing on the pitch for 90minutes if not straight up bribe to the NFF. I can't see them games unless they improve. |

I understand your Manchester City concerns. They seem too dependent on a few key players. Every team has stars, but overdependence can be a weakness. Missing those players impacts the team dynamic, not for the better. Yes, clubs like Real Madrid seem more balanced, with more different strategies that dont rely on a few stars.
Isnt that football's beauty? Volatility, ups and downs. Manchester City may look excessively dependant, but they can win the title. I'd love to see another team win the Champions League, maybe even unexpectedly. Football is about shock and awe, and this season's Champions League provides that.
Manchester city have an obvious dependence on a few star amongst the team, it has been seen in the absence of these players Manchester city had a few wins but they struggled around it of which if these players were very much Available if not for injury, they would have won all of those game very well, Manchester city still remains an elite and a favourite in the champions league this season and I wouldn't be really surprised if the win or loose the champions league because football comes with its surprises. People will be expecting Manchester city to defend the champions league as most recent winners which is very possible but Manchester city may aswell loose out if they don't get their complete squad on ground as at when required ,it will be really soothing to see another team win the champions league this season. A name like Bernado Silva the Portuguese has also lost form because player's who complemented his performance from last season left and the one or two around got Injured in away. When i watch him, I see him stressed but still wants to play regardless. In the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and them rest, he alongside Phil Foden has been used for most of them creativity. Also Rodri who has been used a defensive midfielder has also advanced more and attacked more than he did last season. I don't have much to say about who wins and lose. I just want to watch good football, learn from them players and also tactics from Pep Guardiola. |

It's clear that Barcelona this season is really bad, their game is a mess without any cohesion at all, so it's no wonder Barcelona won't beat Real Madrid, even against Girona they can't.
So, this season, Barcelona had to give up the La Liga title to Real Madrid. It seems that they cannot compete to retain the La Liga title this season. They can only maintain their top four rankings, which is already grateful. Because the problems faced by Barcelona this season are very complete, starting from financial, internal disharmony between very influential in the next matches and will even affect the UCL league against Napoli in the round of 16.
Who gives up that way? Hell No!! It's not over until it's over, they just need one or two additional players at most the defensive midfielder position and a defender, a loan deal would be great. I knew they was going to lose to Real Madrid immediately I recalled they lost to Girona who couldn't get a smooth game against Real Madrid And who says Real Madrid would be the winner of the La Liga Competition this exact season? Lol! More five months to go, more games to be played so stop playing, we still have Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Girona all gingered up. |

Source: https://www.skysports.com/serie-a-fixtures First test for As Roma's new coach at home right in front of the fans. I will do well to see why they got Jose Mourinho sacked yes I know his performance was gradually unbearable. Verona not doing so bad and not so well, I don't trust what the heck the bookmakers say though. Milan has gradually seen some games won and has given em a good rise into the first three clubs in the Scudetto Competition. Tough game against Udinese though, predictions are for both sides to score though, hard to say who wins despite the new form of AC Milan. Five last away games for Juventus have all been won completely, let's see if they can go on with them unbeaten run yet again this very week. |

Arsenal always continue to make their supporters sad by doing this. I don't know maybe having a really young team is also a factor but still they should be able to do better than this normally. Arteta will need to work more on this problem to fix it as much as possible. Otherwise we will probably see them out of the title race before even the final weeks of the season. I really want to see Arsenal winning the league title but they can't do it like this. Manchester City and Liverpool have a much bigger potential at the moment. For now I believe one of them will make it too but hopefully it can be Liverpool to see a different champion this season. I feel like this is the best chance for Mikel Arteta to win the Premier League Competition, they fail to do it this season and they'll never go near winning it again in the next ten years and seasons to come. If they want to win the Premier League, they know what they be lacking and know how to get whatever they want. They're only been reluctant. I hate the late hunt for players they won't probably get. These are the various positions they'll be needing; A Central Forward A New Midfielder And Lastly, A Defender. They've been linked with a six months loan move for Karim Benzema already, don't know if this Gon ever happen. Concerns over the midfielder not talked about so much, but I've seen them games very this season and I feel like they need a mode energetic player to be right in front of Declan Rice. Would Jurim Timber be returning? If Yes!! Then they won't be needing a new defender. |

 Surprise!Surprise! It has been reported that Arsenal is in talks with benzema to potentially loan him from al ittihad, and it's exciting to see that there is a possibility of him joining the English Premier League this season. I would like to see him join in the chelsea but it seems like that arsenal is one step ahead compared to the chelsea. Don't take it seriously caused by benzema join in a club that has never won UCL. It was shocking me that i never expect that if arsenal would be interesting to sign him as a new player. I was hoeping that benzema to stay but it seems like that he will be interesting to play in the premier league. Benzema was a one tap specialist and he may be useful for arsenal. This guy has a very good positioning and i think that he will be join in premier league. Im waiting for the further news regarding this. He may be deciding his final decision very soon. There's no need to feel doubt about that. Bnzema was a good striker even though he was old. Arsenal can at least has more option on its strikers. Nketiah and gabriel are still performing so badly. Benzema would become a short term solution for the club. Nketiah I will say is not fully matured and grown striker still learning. For Gabriel Jesus, I'd say that I'm disappointed. I see the reasons as to why Pep Guardiola finally let him and Raheem Sterling leave Manchester City for good. These players cannot win Mikel Arteta and Arsenal the Premier League, they be poor at decision making and lacked scoring goals. They're not consistent in between. A move for Karim Benzema was something Arsene Wenger tried to do years before, as he wanted to bring over his fellow french man but bid failed on different occasions. The next six months would be great, at least Nketiah would have someone to look at and learn if possible. They'll be needing Karim Benzema and another Central Midfielder. |

I agree with you, can still do a lot of things but must admit it won't be easy because they are under pressure and burden. Since the last 2 seasons Everton has always been close to relegation zone and this is their 3rd season meaning Everton have the experience to get through. Oh yes, today Everton is playing in the FA Cup here we can see whether this problem has an impact on the player's performance or everything is normal.
I don’t see Everton to be doing very poor. For a team that had 10 points deducted from them this season over finance problems and somehow, they are just a step above the relegation zone, they aren’t a very bad team, they are doing just fine. 10 points go there current league standing, they might be well around 14th on the league table. I don’t see Everton being a relegated team this season, not with Sean Dyche at the top of its management. His been putting in so much to ensure he wins his easy fixtures and perhaps shared point in what would be seen as the difficult games. That’s the most you could expect of them. Everton would wand their season way better than last season. Ten points not deducted, this is also also a poor run of game in the last few weeks, you can't take that to be a great performance for Eveton. Sean Dyche barely plays consistently, and I hate to see that they'll battle relegation until the last few weeks of the Premier League season. To wrap up what I'm saying, They really need to step up and play like they meant it, play like them own lives depends on it. Good new is that Ivan Toney is back and he had said he wants to fight and win trophies, this could mean he wants a better switch clear message to the management of Arsenal and Chelsea, so they can get a solid number nine. |

Barcelona has taken an interest in Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips. There are many clubs that have already expressed interest in Kalvin Phillips, such as Juventus, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Atlético Madrid, and now Barcelona. Barcelona has some finincal criticism, but by the way, Kalvin Phillips is one of the best younger midfielders, and their attacking sense is quite good. Despite Barcelona's weakness in the attack, no one has the ability to score when Striker gets stuck in the opposition defense. Whether it's Frenki De Jong or Pedri, both can't score like attacking midfielders. Despite both players having decent styles of play in terms of providing, I mean, playmaking, their attack sense is a little bit weak. While Kalvin Phillips is too good, he has the ability to make runs towards the box and also has the capability to score. So therefore, I believe that Kalvin Phillips will be good signing for Barcelona if they got it. Because Xavi needs such type of player who contribute to the club in an attacking sense. Source: https://twitter.com/ManagingBarca/status/1747645255871287484?t=byiLuvdc4JNRofvxABXTaA&s=19Besides that, Jond Henderson has already turned out to be going to leave Saudi Arabia, and now it is sure that he will leave the club. Despite having offered himself to Barcelona to sign him, Barcelona rejected the offer. Source: https://twitter.com/ManagingBarca/status/1747644338602197002?t=nKVLRqvt46Q5pZmyqiK6HQ&s=19What did you think? Share your opinion with us? Kalvin Philips is more of a defensive midfielder, I haven't seen a game where he was featured as the attacking midfielder. Not even for the English national team. If he is down for the move, them I believe it'll be a perfect switch, Pep Guardiola would also want him to move because he still has a great love for Barcelona. I can recall him letting Ferran Torres leave for Barcelona also. For Jordan Henderson, he's heavily linked with a return to the Dutch League. As Ajax are currently leading the hunt for the former Liverpool captain. |

Barcelona's performance are not even encouraging, they're behind their usual style of play. This definitely isn't the usual Barcelona of past seasons. Their performance hasn't really been encouraging and even though they're a better side technically to other teams, it's just a number of uncertainties that are present. The players and management teams aren't really at their best and it has to be corrected.
In the round of 16, they are up against a tough opponent, they've got enough weeks to prepare hard and build strong confidence ahead. They really can't afford to take a bow out of the contest at this stage. Although it's unpredictable but they're definitely boasted of to scale through and they have the right player quality too. Just a bit of increase in performance is needed. Although, their games in the coming weeks are definitely awaited.
Now with the poor performance during the super cup final, many fans have called for the sack of Xavi Hernandez. I don't think he's doing a bad job but they haven't really given a positive response and results to the fans. Feel like he deserves all the backing from the management even during rough times like this one exactly. Napoli has been making some signatures to reinforce themselves for the second half of the season, I'm still unsure if this players signed will definitely have the capacity to push the club. The Champions League clash against Napoli though would not go easy, Napoli management be also hoping African Best Player Victor Oshime doesn't return Injured. |

 If Max Allegri and Juventus part ways at the end of the season, Thiago Motta tops the list of potential replacements. The Bologna coach is seen as ready to take on a managerial role at a top club, and his contract expires in June. Source : [@repubblica] Why Thiago Motta when Antonio Conte is vacant? We've read multiple times about the purchase of Antonio Conte of Max Allegri finally decides to part ways with the old ladies at the end of the season. I won't want them to take Thiago Motta even if he's doing a good job ( Not Hundred Percent though ) Antonio Conte is tested, Approved and trusted so I see no reason why Thiago Motta would be leading the list amongst those who goes incharge of Juventus finally for a new season. Great night for the old ladies though, they trashed them opponents greatly. It's now Ac Milan chasing them closely, I hope they don't slack. |

I also think the same about Hojlund with people who say he is not good enough yet because of being very young and playing in a new environment. At the same time this environment is a much more competitive one than where he came from. In the Serie A he was struggling to adapt and here it is pretty much the same - in the Premier League at least. However I must admit that he was really great in the Champions League. He is still one of top scorers in the tournament you know despite his team's being eliminated in the group stage. Moreover he started to adapt to the Premier League recently as well considering his last performances. I hope he goes on like this. Those who bash him are not good viewers of football honestly. They fail to understand that four of the five goals Rasmus Hojlund converted or scored all came from his own individual performance anf hardwork. Manchester United wingers and attacking midfielder's have indeed created fewer chances for him to score goals. It's okay for people to talk about it because he was brought in for a huge fee. Although I doubt he'll score up to ten league goal in the Premier League Competition this exact season for Manchester United. He's not a bad player, he tracks back and also defends when mandatory. He's gonna make history with the club! |

I agree about Rashford. He is really performing poorly this season. I don't know what happened to this guy in only one season to be honest. Last season he was incredible and Erik ten Hag was still the manager then. But now the manager is the same but Rashford isn't. He is a very crucial member of the team as we all know. When he performs badly the team are also in extra trouble. I understand that Manchester United are having a poor season compared to the last one. But skilled individuals still should be able to do their best for the team. Rashford can't give any excuse for his poor effort throughout the season until now. He spent most of last season as false 9 and with Anthony and Sancho running down the LW and RW, he didn't need to drop deep to receive passes like he has this season because there is literally no distribution coming from the wings as Anthony and Sancho both lost their places in the team this season and Casimero and Bruno, who are supposed to provide services from the midfield, are struggling with match fitness. Poor teamwork was more responsible for his drop in form and early-season knocks too Wrong! He was the main main leading the attack for Manchester United as everyone played the ball to see him score. Wout Weghorst did most of the marking and tracking balls ( one of the reasons I saw people as crap who come on here to bash him because they don't look at his team work and work rate for Manchester United last season ) This season, Manchester United has a new number nine and Marcus Rashford has refused to create chances for the Rasmus Hojlund. I don't want to say much about him, take a look at Granacho, the team's performance poor but he tries to up hisngake at all times, top player with top mentality. I hope Erik Ten Hag dumps him on the bench. |

Believe me your list is outdated and not how it's meant to be Dusan Vlahovic scored a brace yesterday night as Juventus went ahead to win the game at home with three goals to nothing, making it a five over five wins at home for the old ladies Lautaro Martinez would be far gone by the time Victor Oshime returns back from the African Cup of Nations Competitions. I do not think he'll be able to outscore the Argentine this season. They to get your list update, Dusan Vlahovic currently has nine goals added to his name on the Scudetto Competition in Italian Seria A Allegri has helped Improved the squad as they chase Inter Milan gradually. |

After losing points in the most unexpected game I'm curious about what Girona will do against Sevilla home next time. Sevilla are also one of the worst teams in the league this season. Technically Girona should be able to make up for what they did against Almeria by this game. But will I make a bet on Girona this time? Hell no. But I feel like Girona will win this game as long as we see their usual performance this time. Sevilla are just really weak at defending these days. Girona can score multiple goals against them easily in their best shape. Predicting it'll definitely be a week for the underdog's, Sevilla would want to see a rise from them current situation and position on the table. I'll be going for a win for Sevilla, even if Girona would be at home. Last game, Sevilla attacked with purpose only if they can replicate that same energy from the Del Ray Competition to the La Liga Competition. Almeria meanwhile would travel to recent Super Cup winners Real Madrid, they should squeeze a point if fatigued and stressed likewise tired legs affects how they play come Sunday at home. A draw for that game is what I see. |

Yesterday West Ham lost in the FA cup against a team playing in a much lower division than the Premier League and that for me was a really big surprise result.A team from the Premier League who happen to have won not long ago the Europa Conference League to lose to a team playing in a lower division.That shows that West Ham is truly in a volatile performance in the Premier League.
I didn't get to see the game to the very end, that was because, I dozed off right after that goal was scored. It should have been a penalty if he had not beaten the goalkeeper completely. ( I mean the first goal ). West Ham United wasn't with players like Paqueta, Kudus the Ghanaian as lastly Jared Bowen. They're name I knew that wasn't available. Ivan Toney after his eight months ban has finally returned and should be amongst the list of players to play the next games for Brentford. Though, I would love if he makes the switch to Arsenal, but that's far from getting done. Everton are now the scapegoat, this should definitely lead to point deduction,but if it doesn't, they should and would escape relegation. |

Mourinho has left his job at Roma. Maybe Mourinho can return to Chelsea one more time and make things right. His second adventure at Chelsea was not so good, but he is the best manager in Chelsea's history. I think he should take charge of Chelsea once again and try to bring Chelsea back to the old days. They spend money on transfers but they don't have someone who can manage the team. I think Mourinho could be the right person for them.
I don’t think Mourinho will be returning to Chelsea. They really do not deserve him. There are speculations Newcastle are interested in Mourinho as manager, I would like to see that happen. I believe that could be the game changer Newcastle needs to become a better contender for the league title. Jose Mourinho has a track record of success, he’s been able to perform miracles in his career. I think people forget how he become the special one. IMO Roma shouldn’t have sacked Mourinho, no manager could have done a better job with that team. Pep Guardiola won the award for best manager yesterday, but Mourinho is one who also deserves that recognition in my opinion. If Pep was given the same team Mourinho managed in Roma, I doubt he will be able to get a better result. I'm waiting to see some news about Mourinho and his next destination but all I can see in the news about this famous coach is how he is leaving Roma and how they didn't respect him as they had to. Mourinho had good performances in many teams including Chelsea and there is a high chance for him to return to Chelsea because currently, Chelsea is not in a good situation with their new coach even after spending a huge amount of money on this team and the player they bought Returning to Chelsea ain't no wise decision besides he doesn't work with young players like the present players in Chelsea, they're not well made an it'll take one two seasons before they finally adapt. Chelsea like Manchester United are currently in need of some quick success bit that don't mean they'll entertain a coach like Jose Mourinho back, believe mez he's tactics are outdated and poor lately they can't win the league with these current Chelsea squad and. In the Premier League, I'll say he's nearest to return to Newcastle United. Manchester United? Hell No!! Don't Compare Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, they're both in a different level. one get results the other doesn't. |

Why don't such people just be making use of prediction site? There are many prediction sites online and they can choose the ones that they know are having good predictions. They have many matches, so the gambler can choose like 1 to 3 matches from it.
But I will prefer to make use of the prediction site and also further analyze the matches myself to know if it is worth staking or not.
Prediction sites can be cool and not cool at the same time. They don't always come correct if you ask me. Though people can be very greedy, they'll fail to pick two to three game and place them bets with a high stake. That alone increases them chances of winning bets daily. I do go with Predictz. Selecting Eight Odds is enough already for me. I don't want too much all I want is nothing but the consistent winning that comes with it. Whenever you play and stake that way, you consistently win bets, in conclusion, winning bets is mainly for those that have money. Those lack funds can't win big consistently because they be hoping for a ticket with 30 to 40 selections gets em a million $. Nothing is Impossible tho achieve though but, risky! |

James Madison could do some of them creation, creativity and assisting done by Kevin De Bruyne, but it's disrespectful to talk about players under contract for another club.
The sad truth was is that, Pep Guardiola was greedy, he shouldn't have brought in a player like Kalvin Philips if he wasn't gonna use him , then why buy him? So he could prevent him from being signed by his rivals? Anyways, Kalvin Philips has the treble attached to his name without much stress he was more like a ball boy for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
During the transfer window, it should have been a chase for James Madison who also had a lesser fee.
There'll only be issues when Kevin De Bruyne gets Injured, he has so much influence off and in the pitch as we've seen for the past few months.
When a player gets signed by Manchester City, automatically he's entitled to winning significant titles and adding crucial numerous titles to his archives. Manchester City have awakened for the EPL title race and I just hope Liverpool gives them hard-time as they should because the EPL long race is definitely not easy. Why will you be tagging the Manchester City headcoach, Pep Guardiola as a greedy coach? He just wants the very best for the team and we shouldn't dare to criticized him rather points fingers to the player signed, Kelvin Philips who failed to develop and improve his stats in matches. Is that too difficult for you to see? That was pure greed. You won't see people and the media talking about it and how they be misbehaving because they have trophies to backup whatever negative criticisms anyone has against them. I never said that he wants what's bad for Manchester City. Till date, Pep Guardiola remains the best manager in the world like it or not. Really? I hope Kalvin Philips finally leaves completely, the game against Aston Villa was a chance to play him as Rodri was absent but Pep Guardiola came up with so much to say during the press!! He's been getting results so who am I to criticize him? I don't think I want to see City winning the league though. |

Chelsea hiring Mourinho again is not a matter of deserve or not, but it's not the time for how the managerial style of Mourinho who will demand new players again. He is not the type of a manager who would build a team for the future which is what has been a trajectory for Chelsea right now.
Chelsea claim they are building players for the future but at what cost? Relegation may be the future if they continue to play badly. Arsenal under Arsene Wenger was a club that focused on developing young talents. Chelsea has never been that club. The speculation about Newcastle's interest in Mourinho is intriguing. I'm sure it wont gonna happen because Newcastle seem to have policy of developing players which is not what Mourinho will do.
Things have changed at Newcastle since the club was bought by Saudi Arabia. They have gone form a team struggling with relegation to a team with Champions league football, the new owners have the money to make Newcastle a strong side like Manchester City. They just need a good manager who can help them achieve their goals. Maybe Newcastle owners should sack Eddie Howe and sign Jose Mourinho who just lost his job yesterday with As Roma as they have parted ways. He is very experienced and is a big coach, he needs a club who has the money to sponsor whatever player he wants, if they can do that, watch Jose Mourinho take them to the Champions League Competition and also possibly compete for the Premier League Competition. Chelsea has a failed manager, but I don't know if he has learnt from his previous failures. Mauricio Pochetino I believe is not that man for Chelsea, he can't win them the Premier League. He can go ahead to win them the Cup game but not the Premier League. Mikel Arteta better all he needs right now is a new midfielder and a central forward!! |
