Although Rennes is in 13th place and Clermont is only in 18th place at the bottom of the current Ligue 1 table but yes, the reality is that they only have a gap of 5 points. Also, the reality is that Rennes is also not as good as you think because after all, considering Rennes will be playing away in this match. In fact, of Rennes 7 away matches so far Rennes has only 4 draws and 3 losses and Rennes has never won at all for away match so far this season.

With such a record then yes, I personally do not believe Rennes will be able to beat Clermont in the last match in the first half of the season. Although indeed, based on the odds, Rennes is still quite a favorite too but maybe, I think the match could end in a draw but I'm not sure Rennes will win.

Although Bayern Munich received its first defeat this season but ya, the fact is that Bayern Munich also still remains focused on competing strongly with Bayer Leverkusen . Because ofcourse, Bayern Munich will also always have a way to recover quickly but with that said, then at least Bayern Munich must work even stronger to catch up.

Difficult indeed but who knows, maybe Bayer Leverkusen will also still have the opportunity to be defeated in certain matches . Therefore, it has become a target for Bayern Munich to refocus on winning in every match . Because ya, although there is still a chance for Bayern Munich to return to the top position but ya, when considering the high consistency of Bayer Leverkusen so far this season . Then of course, it will never be easy for Bayern Munich this season,because of course Bayern Munich also get difficult pressure with difficult targets too.

Although the bigger finances still have a better chance of getting the trophy but yes, it is not impossible for a team like Girona to have a chance of getting the trophy too. Indeed,I also recognize that Real Madrid will still be a strong candidate to get the La Liga trophy this season, due to the success of Bellingham who gave great results also for Real Madrid so far this season.

Moreover, Real Madrid is basically the best team in the world and ofcourse it will still be easy for Real Madrid to be able to lock the top position of the La Liga standings this season. But ya, even so, at least I personally hope for a miracle this season for Girona, I hope Girona is able to win the La Liga trophy this season.

I think, Napoli's mistake is to change the coach with a very short time, of course, this factor also has a bad impact on the team's performance this season. After all, the fact is that with the previous Garcia also at least Napoli can still compete well at least in the top five. Although indeed, it does not guarantee to defend the title but at least, Napoli can still compete in the upper zone in the Serie A standings and I think that's still good.

Currently, Napoli must accept the results by firing Garcia and appointing Mazzarri to become Napoli's head coach. Unfortunately, with Mazzarri it looks like Napoli are getting even worse results and with that, then of course there is no good hope for Napoli this season, maybe also for all competitions, not just in Serie A.

After all, even if for example Manchester United brings in several new players in the transfer market later but ya, of course it will still take time for new players to adapt. Therefore, bringing in new players will also still not fully guarantee for Manchester United to recover quickly . What's more, the Premier League competition this season has become very difficult and even, teams as good as Manchester City have also experienced a decline in performance at this moment.

So yes, if Manchester United intend not to sign players because of concerns about financial fair play then ya, of course it will be the right reason for Manchester United not to sign more players in the transfer window later . Therefore, indeed, it is an obligation for Erik ten Hag to also work better to restore Manchester United's performance with his selected players.

Not really sure if Real Madrid will really still try to get Mbappe or not because yes, at least Mbappe has made two disappointments for Real Madrid regarding their transfer. Therefore, I personally might be more confident that Mbappe will still play at PSG maybe for the next 1 or 2 seasons or maybe forever.

Because after all, basically PSG really doesn't want to let Mbappe leave because after all, with PSG continuing to make great efforts to maintain Mbappe by increasing salaries and other bonuses. So clearly, with this factor also being proof, that PSG will never be willing to let Mbappe leave for another team.

It's not surprising, because Muller is also a player who has made a good contribution to Bayern Munich so ya, perhaps it has become a necessity for Bayern Munich to give Muller a contract extension . Because after all, Muller can still play well even though he is no longer in his prime because ya, he is of course retirement age.

But indeed, even if for example Kane is not at Bayern Munich, but I sure that Muller will be on the bench more often, considering his old age . Moreover, Bayern Munich has Kane, so it is clear that Muller will not continue to be forced to play and placing him on the bench is also a decision that is not wrong.

It is appropriate for Barcelona to win with a big score in the home match against Almeria today, even if for example Barcelona wins but only with a low score then I think the victory is not worthy. Because after all, Almeria is the worst team so far this season in La Liga and at the same time, Barcelona still has to improve its position to be able to catch up Real Madrid and Girona.

Therefore, of course it would not be right if Barcelona only won with a low score because yes, anyway this match should be a match with a very good chance for Barcelona to beat Almeria with big score of course. Thus, I hope Barcelona can win with a score of 3-0 or greater, of course that would be great.

As far as I'm concerned, when they play in the Coppa Italia these top teams are more likely to get bad results. Although in the end only the top teams managed to win the trophy, but those teams are also the ones that really have good stability also in Serie A at least . Therefore, despite Napoli have big loss by Frosinone but ya, I personally wasn't surprised by that result because it's a common occurrence for events like this.

Ofcourse, it would be a different judgment if a top Serie A team lost big like that for a match in Serie A and if the result is like that, then of course it would be a very bad judgment . But ya,as long as the top teams are still losing within a normal score, then atleast their considerations will also remain fine and will probably still be on track as well.

It's still not easy to predict matches in tournaments like this because after all, for matches in this EFL CUP sometimes teams also not play the same as in the Premier League game play. Therefore, although Liverpool remains the favorite in this match but yes, I personally am not entirely sure Liverpool will win, whether it will only end in normal time or through extra time or a penalty shootout.

In addition, that in fact this weekend Liverpool will play against Arsenal in next match in the Premier League. With a schedule like that then yes, I personally don't believe Liverpool will mobilize all their best abilities players in the match against West Ham in this EFL CUP match. Because yes, of course Liverpool will prioritize being able to play well against Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend and if the scenario is like that, then the possibility West Ham has a chance to win.

That is a very impressive achievement for Girona this season and with that, so I personally would not hesitate to still choose Girona in the next few matches too. Because ya, for me with impressive achievements like this, it is certainly worthy for Girona to get a trophy . Indeed, La Liga has the best team in the world like Real Madrid but ya, that doesn't mean Real Madrid will continue to win the La Liga trophy.

Because after all, in reality Real Madrid also failed several times to win the La Liga trophy and indeed, its only competitors were Barcelona and Atletico . But at this moment, the reality is that Girona is better than Barcelona and Atletico . So ya, it is natural that Girona has managed to enter as a strong challenger for the La Liga trophy this season with Real Madrid.

In fact, in Serie A that Napoli managed to beat Frosinone in the first week of this season and yes, Napoli managed to beat Frosinone with a score of 1-3 in that match. Also, at least at this moment Mazzarri is still making efforts to make Napoli consistent with good results. Therefore, because this Coppa Italia match will also be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona then yes, of course Napoli will continue to play well of course to get a win in this match because yes, basically Frosinone does not have good quality compared to Napoli.

Also, about for tomorrow match between Inter v Bologna I think it will be an interesting match because after all, Bologna at this moment at least has a pretty good trend too. Moreover, this is only a Coppa Italia match and usually, the top Serie A teams sometimes fail to win. So yes, if Inter are really favorites in this match and then you are not sure Inter will win, then of course you can still choose Bologna. Even if, for example, you only choose the Asian handicap option, yes, I'm sure the odds you get are still good odds too.

It seems like the Conference League isn't much to get excited about, even though the teams that play here are at least still part of the top European leagues . But ya,still, the reality is that the Conference League is not as interesting to look forward to as it is about what kind of team has a better chance of getting the trophy . But maybe, becasue still there Aston Villa who is having a very good trend this season, then maybe Aston Villa will be a strong candidate to get the Conference League trophy this season.

But about Ajax who will play against Bodo/Glimit in the play offs, I think both have a chance to qualify for the next round of the Conference League. Because ya, anyway, at least we can't put high hopes on Ajax at this moment,because Ajax is really facing a recovery period . Also,it's unclear whether Ajax will prioritize the Eredivisie or focus on the Conference League and therefore, I guess it doesn't seem like there are any guarantees for Ajax at this point.

Yes indeed, it is unfortunate that Everton got a reduction of 10 points and ya, with the reduction of 10 points like that, of course Everton still have to work even harder to continue to stay away from the relegation zone. Because anyway, if Everton do not get a reduction of 10 points like that, then at this moment Everton have the same points as Brighton with 26 and ya, of course Everton position is in the top 10 at this moment if they do not get a reduction of 10 points.

But unfortunately, although Everton still managed to recover, but for the next matches in the Premier League, the fact is that Everton got a difficult opponent. After all, at the end of the first half of the season too, Everton got opponents like Tottenham, Manchester City and also Aston Villa. Obviously, these teams currently also still need full points because they still competing in the top four.

So ya, of course, the match is not an easy match for Everton in a situation like this, because Everton also still needs moral improvement and recovery because the reduction of 10 points certainly has a bad impact on the team's mentality.

In fact, although Rennes managed to become the runner up of group F but ya, the teams in that group also not entirely good. After all, Villarreal who managed to become the winner of group f also, the fact is that Villarreal also did not have good results in La Liga so far this season. Therefore, then of course Milan will still have a very good chance of winning.

Perhaps, I will also say that Milan will be able to win easily, by beating Rennes in leg 1 and leg 2. Because after all, of course Milan has better quality and performance compared to Rennes so far this season in their results in the domestic league and also in this European tournament. So yes, it is very natural that Milan are very favored to win and thus, Milan also has a chance to be able to advance further in the Europa League this season.

It's natural, because in previous seasons the SPL teams at least still had quality that wasn't much different, of course it's different from now because the SPL teams have crazy transfers with the top European players they have. Therefore, it seems inappropriate to expect Al Shabab to be in the top zone in the current SPL standings.

Because even though a team like Al Ittihad has slipped to 5th place at the moment, despite the fact that Al Ittihad also has top European players in the squad . But ya, in fact Al Ittihad also still failed to be strong at least in the race for the title and therefore, compare it with Al Shabab which does not have top European players in the squad. So ya, it is very natural that at this moment Al Shabab is only in the middle zone or bottom zone in the SPL standings this season.

Yes, although Real Madrid is still the favorite team but still, the reality is that Real Madrid is not completely strong so far this season. Therefore, it seems that there is no full guarantee for Real Madrid to get the Champions League trophy this season. Although ya, there are still Manchester City, Bayern Munich and also Inter but at this moment at least they also look to have quality that is not much different.

Therefore, I also think it is still difficult to predict a strong candidate team to get the Champions League trophy this season. Because yes, at least I also still consider their competition and results in the domestic league. Therefore, because at this moment they also look not entirely good then ya, at least the Champions League this season has a more difficult competition because of their performance which is also a serious consideration so far in all competitions still not completely good.

Today Manchester City will be playing in the FIFA Club World Cup against Urawa Reds from Japan and yes, I am curious whether Manchester City will be playing their main squad or just playing their second tier players. But, if I consider Mancester City's schedule, then it doesn't seem right if Manchester City only plays second-tier players because after all, Manchester City will also return to playing in the Premier League on the 29th against Everton.

Moreover, considering also the trophy winners in the FIFA Club World Cup are dominated by European elite teams and in fact, Manchester City has not yet won this FIFA Club World Cup trophy. Therefore, even though the opponent that Manchester City will face is not a team that has as good quality as the elite European teams. So yes, it is very likely that Manchester City will continue to play their main players in this semifinal match and of course, also in the final match later against Fluminense.

I don't think it's too far of a stretch to expect PSG to do well in the Champions League because anyway, for domestic competitions like the Coupe de France. In fact, PSG does not always manage to get the trophy because yes, if PSG is a French eilt team then it should have good dominance also in the Coupe de France. But ya, in fact PSG does not always have good results too and therefore, it is not surprising that PSG also does not always win for matches played in Ligue 1.

But for me, the draw that occurred between the Lille v PSG match, was actually not surprising at all if PSG failed to win. Because anyway, basically Lille is also not a weak team and thus, I did not choose PSG to win in the match. Because anyway, there is no guarantee that it will also be consistent to win, moreover PSG playing away against Lille and obviously, there is no strong guarantee for PSG to beat Lille in that match.

Yes indeed, the truth is that from the previous few seasons when Bayern Munich still managed to get the Bundesliga trophy, the truth is that Bayern Munich also sometimes made mistakes and failed to get three points from certain matches. But at that time, no other team had as good a dominance as Bayer Leverkusen as is the case in this moment or season in the Bundesliga.

Therefore, although at this moment Bayern Munich only or just got 1 defeat in the Bundesliga but yes, the reality is that Bayern Munich is starting to be a little uncomfortable. Because yes, that Bayer Leverkusen is still very consistent even in all competitions unbeaten. With a team as good as Bayer Leverkusen at this moment then yes, of course Bayern Munich get more difficult pressure at the moment or in this season in the Bundesliga.
