My principal doubt is, if Girona after this international break is gonna still being this good, or they are gonna start to fall behind, maybe they can last until the winter break, and become the winter champions  i remember the alst team becoming winter champion asides of the big threes was Real Sociedad a lot of time ago. I think some people would have the same doubts as you, including myself. Not to underestimate them, but from our experience in La Liga, that teams that can surprise at the beginning of the season they will not be able to maintain until the end of the season, and that always happens, and maybe we can see from the past few seasons that there are always teams that can provide a surprise but at the end of the season it is still the 3 teams that are in the top 3, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This may also be felt by other teams, one of which is Girona who are now at the top of the table. Although I also doubt Girona will be able to stay at the top of La Liga until the end of the season, but it seems that I little hopeful that Girona can make a big surprise this season. Because after all, although previously teams like Betis and Real Sociedad had the same case of being good at the beginning of the season and then falling. But at least, Betis and Real Sociedad managed to compete at least in the top 6 or in the top 5 in previous seasons as well. But about Girona, who haven't always been in the top 6 in every season, but this season Girona are quickly in contention for the title. So ya, it's been a big surprise this season, even though there are no guaranteed trophies for Girona but still, Girona have managed so far this season in the top La Liga standings, and I hope Girona can keep it up. Who knows |

Atalanta vs Napoli, this will be another interesting match apart from the Juventus vs Inter Milan match. currently the two clubs are only one rank adrift, Napoli in 4th position and Atalanta in 5th position, with a very tight points distance too, 21 points from Napoli, and 20 points that Atalanta managed to collect.
I think the chance of the match ending with a draw is a very likely opportunity, considering the performance of the two clubs does not have a significant difference. In terms of consistency they have a lot in common, in the last 5 matches they played alone, they both won 2 defeats 1 draw and 2 wins.
But so far, the reality is that Napoli have not received any defeat for Napoli's away matches so far this season. So ya, it is certainly feasible that Napoli are predicted to at least not lose this match. Because anyway, based on the odds available at the moment too, although there is not much difference but still, it can be seen that Napoli is still slightly expected to get good results this match. Indeed, it will be difficult to choose whether Atalanta or Napoli will win in this match, because Napoli is also in a bad situation due to Osimhen injury and the lack of harmony between the coach and the players. With that in mind, perhaps betting on both teams to score would be a good choice as well. |

Man City is very lucky to have a coach who is very competent and can always solve every problem at the club. It's no wonder Pep Guardiola has received many awards as a coach. Because we all know he has made the teams he coached win many trophies. Even last season, Man City also won 3 trophies in one season. thanks to the expertise of coach Pep Guardiola.
~
EPL have turned out to become an easy league for Manchester City, consistently winning the Cup as if there's no competitor for them. How can an elite team have an experience coach like Pep Guardiola and not win major trophies? It's impossible, Manchester City have the best leading squad and coach management, there are several settings behind the triumphant Manchester City you see today, I mean enough sacrifice and hardwork have been triggered for such level of club, Manchester City will continue winning because they're always one step ahead and ambitious when it comes to their goals mapped out. Although Manchester City still successful in the Premier League, but I consider that Manchester City also have a big efforts to get their best achievements. So yes, although Manchester City can still maintain its consistency until now in all competitions including in this Champion League but still, nothing is as easy as imagined. Because after all, in reality Manchester City also had several times to get bad results such as losing and also drawing. But the great thing about Pep Guardiola, is that he is able to overcome such problems well and quickly. So yes, it's no wonder that until now Manchester City still managed to get good results because yes, Manchester City has great management and efforts to achieve success in every season. |

I agree with you on this, because Erick Ten Hag was given enough money by Manchester United's management to sign a good striker that will help solve Manchester United's goals scoring issue but Ten Hag chose Hojlund over Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane with the idea of that Hojlund is young and he will score goals for Manchester United in the coming years. Erik Ten Hag's decision to sign Hojlund could cost him his job at Machester United unless he signs another striker in January that will help Manchester United's squad to score goals.
The management appointed Erik Ten Hag to lead the club to glory but it turn out he's not capable for the job. Manchester united is an elite team and it's time they do upgrade their level of football. Watching the Red Devils recorda poor performance is embarrassing especially against average clubs. Erik Ten Hag signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta was one of the brilliant signings he triggered this summer, the only problem the new striker faces is been a United player at critical moments. We're all aware about the present declined performance of Manchester United and they're struggling to win games. Yes indeed, it was the wrong choice and I have regretted it from the beginning because after all, if Manchester United could have brought Osimhen at that time, then of course it would have been better. Anyway, Osimhen is also young and still has good long-term prospects because ya, when compared to Hojlund then of course, Osimhen has better experience and performance too. Thus, then I think also Erik ten Hag will not be long to be at Manchester United, because Manchester United wants to get quick success and does not want to wait long from a bad process like this. |

The Europa League group stage this time is becoming more interesting, because so far from the 4 matches they have played, I have not seen a club that can really ensure that it will qualify for the next round. Leverkusen so far is the only club that is quite successful with perfect points from the 4 matches they played, they only need 1 more point to ensure they will really be able to qualify.
Other than that, we have a Champions League club coming to play in the playoffs for a place in the last 16, I don't have any idea which club is going here yet.
I personally no hesitation in saying that the teams that are currently in positions 1 and 2 in each group in the Europa League right now, almost all of them can be guaranteed to qualify for the next round. Maybe only a few can still be replaced by the team in position 3, but it seems like the chances for them or the team in position 3 are not that good chances either. Because anyway, at this moment theteams in 1st and 2nd positions have quite a good gap in points with the teams in positions 3 and 4. Also, eventhough some of teams in 1st and 2nd positions in fact is some of them have the same points but still, they will still qualify for the next round. So ya, I would say, the teams that are currently in 1st and 2nd positions in all the Europa League groups at the moment, they have a good chance of qualifying for the next round and I'm sure of that. |

Al-Ittihad announced their new coach after Nuno Espirito Santo to be Marcelo Gallardo (El Muneco) who was engaged for a year and a half with the team. El Muneco was training River Plate before and hopefully he will be as successful with his new club. Nuno was sacked since Al-Ittihad results weren't good lately and because of disputes between him and his players namely Benzema. His first match with the team will be away vs Al-Ettifaq which is quite good team. A hard test to start with  It has been a long time since Marcelo Gallardo was the head coach of River Plate, but during that period Marcelo Gallardo only managed to give River Plate one Argentine Professional League title. With achievements like that, I personally not completely sure that Marcelo Gallardo will quickly give his best result for Al Ittihad. Moreover, currently Al Ittihad is in fifth position with 24 points, 11 points different from Al Hilal who are currently at the top of the standings. Thus, playing away against Al Ettifaq in the next match, I think it will not be an easy job for Marcelo Gallardo in his first match for Al Ittihad later. |

Kylian Mbappe's hat trick in the match against Gibraltar confirmed his record of 300 career goals and this is a big achievement for a young player for the French national team. He is not only productive for the club but also for his country and of course PSG is happy that this player can continue to score goals in any competition. It seems that everything went well during the international break without any injuries and as an important player at PSG, Kylian Mbappe must be back in fit condition ahead of the crucial matches in the Ligue 1 or Champions League competitions later. Keeping Kylian Mbappe for longer is PSG's obligation and I think they will try to do that even though there are many rumors that their mainstay player will leave after his contract ends.
Luis Enrique will make plans to accumulate good scores for PSG because he's the headcoach. I'll urged PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi to do everything within his reach to ensure Kylian Mbappe remain in Parc des Princes stadium this summer, because if he leaves, we will witnessed much tense performance of PSG in league games. I've no doubts what so ever because I'm confident Kylian Mbappe will reach milestone of goals just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. The Frenchman have worked on himself to become the branded version of football and he's definitely heading to glory in his path for awards. If Mbappe only plays at PSG, then there is no big achievement for Mbappe. Because after all, a player will be very admired when playing with many trophies and not just great in the local league or domestic league. Although indeed, having many goals is also a great achievement but ya, the achievement is only limited to the acquisition of individual goals. Unlike Ronaldo and Messi who managed to get a lot of trophies with the team and then they became big. As for Mbappe, even so far Mbappe does not have a Champion League trophy and it is a pity that a player as great as Mbappe does not have achievements in the Champion League of Europe's most prestigious competition. |

Dortmund have had some significant decline in their results for a couple of weeks in the Bundesliga. It is normal to see such time periods for big teams of course. But the key point is to put an end to that bad streak at once. Dortmund have a home game against Gladbach next time. I think this could be the opportunity for them to do this.
First of all they have been really dominant in home games against Gladbach in the recent years. We have watched many games ending up with very comfortable victories. I don't know if we would see such result but I expect Dorttmund to win here to put an end to this.
I think Dortmund is still on track I means, there is no significant decline experienced by Dortmund this moment because after all, every season Dortmund always experiences results like this. But yes, because at the same time there are teams that have managed to be consistent this season, they are Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart and as such, Dortmund does not have a place in the top four. But yes, regarding the next match in the Bundesliga, Dortmund will play at home against Monchengladbach, which of course, Dortmund has a chance to win. Because after all, based on the odds available at this moment, Dortmund is very much the favorite to win and maybe the results on paper will also come true. |

Sergio Ramos got really emotional when he returned to his home. He was understood really ambitious as well from his statements at the first times. His performance can be considered as average for now. I remember him saying that he would like to score against Barcelona in the La Liga game before as well. But he scored an unfortunate own goal instead.  Anyway when it comes to your question about the decision to sack their previous manager I think they did wrong there. They should have given Mendilibar more time to help the team recover. In the end they won the Europa League with him. His credit should have been bigger than this. Sergio Ramos is really so yesterday. He also began to be injured all too often and at PSG he was never able to play his best for a few games in a row. There were some moments when he put some effort into the attacks himself and he can still be dangerous with his head, but he was never close to being the one who decided a game with his spectacular defensive performance. I'd like to know for how long he will stay at Sevilla, but I would rather expect a short stay. Maybe for two seasons in total, but it could also end in summer when some club from Saudi Arabia offers him a lot of money. At least Sergio Ramos only has a contract until the end of this season, or it could be said that Sergio Ramos is under contract at Sevilla only for this season . Also, it seems that previously Sergio Ramos had rejected the offer to play in the Saudi Pro League and Sergio Ramos preferred back home and play at Sevilla, but in fact Sergio Ramos didn't play well here either with an own goal in the match against Barcelona . But ya, maybe Sergio Ramos can still provide good results for Sevilla this season because after all, at this moment Sevilla has also managed to stay away from the relegation zone and is still in the middle of the La Liga standings at the moment. |

Against Fiorentina it will definitely be very difficult for AC Milan because the AC Milan team has not won in its last 4 Serie A matches, this will be a burden in itself for AC Milan which is increasingly behind in points at the top of the standings.
I don't think AC Milan will continue getting negative results and especially at home. I know Fiorentina should not be underestimated and statistically both teams are quite close to each other but I think it is whether a draw or Milan victory. According to bookies, Milan odds are higher to win this game. There is two other interesting and more difficult games between Atalanta and Napoli and the most difficult one is definitely Juventus and Inter. Yes indeed, although Milan did not get a win in their last four matches, but that does not mean Milan became very weak. But indeed, at this moment Milan also experienced many of its key players injured and thus, Milan experienced a decline in performance. But ya, although for example Milan is still difficult to beat Fiorentina in the next match, at least Milan should not to lose. Because after all, a draw is still better for Milan, because the situation and condition of the team are still not entirely good for Milan at this moment. So yes, I also realize that it will still be difficult for Milan to beat Fiorentina, but that does not mean Milan will lose easily, because Milan can still target a draw. |

Even though they lost many players, the fact is that Manchester City's performance is still very strong and Pep Guardiola still believes that his club will be able to win the highest title in the Champions League even though there is a decline in the performance of several players, but we will see that Manchester City's chances of being able to qualify for the final round are very large as long as His flagship player Haaland has no problems. I'm sure Manchester City still deserves another trophy.
Enchanced performance for every club but it's very important there are goal contributions for this particular club. Pep Guardiola is one of the most respected and experienced coach in football, he's an important instrument for Manchester City, he's the one responsible for the elevated structure of the club, having coordinate the players and the game strategy, winning becomes a priority for them in every major tournaments they compete. Losing players doesn't determine their status because there performance kept on increasing to be the very best in the league, they've dominated and have come this season to conquer. I may also be curious, whether in the next transfer window Manchester City will bring in new players of course, to strengthen their midfield or maybe their attack line. Because ya, at least losing Bruyne it looks like Manchester City still needs new players who are better of course to play Bruyne main role. Although indeed, so far Manchester City still has a guarantee to reach the final match but if the quality of the squad is only limited to this, it looks like Manchester City will still have difficulty reaching the final match of the Champions League this season. |

Onana is over rated because he has better passing skills than De Gea but in general, combining all skills of a goalkeeper, I think he is not a better goalkeeper than De Gea. Hopefully Ten Hag will not have to pay an expensive cost by his coach position because of his belief in Onana.
I keep hearing that Onana is good with his feet and that he can pass the ball, but TBH i don't see that when i watch Manchester United's games, he is average in his usage of his feet and his passing accuracy, he is nothing close to the likes of Ederson of City and Allison of Liverpool when it comes to passing accuracy. That being said, Onana is not a great goalkeeper IMO, average at best, and i think United made a mistake letting De Gea go, the Spanish keeper is better than Onana, De Gea makes unbelievable saves, even though he makes quite a few mistakes too, as for Onana, he doesn't make great saves, but still makes mistakes leading to goals; i'll take De Gea anyday. Being a goalkeeper it will be about his ability to secure the goal, not about passing. If they want players who are good at passing, then such targets should be delegated to other players and not goalkeepers. Funny I guess, recruiting a goalkeeper just to get a goalkeeper who has a good pass, but in his main task as a goalkeeper in fact does not have good quality. LOL! It doesn't matter about passing, and it doesn't matter whether Onana or De Gea is better because after all, as a goalkeeper it must have good skills in playing as a goalkeeper, because they are goalkeepers and not players who have the task of making passes or assists. |

Barcelona being so close (I don't think girona and ATM will be this good for long) that's a trouble for them and Barcelona may catch up to them if they have some more bad games and losses or even draws.
They already missed Vinicious some part of the season and if they do that again, they are going to have a lot of trouble without a doubt.
I understand that it may not be all that easy stuff, but we need to end up with something that will benefit everyone. Hopefully, it will not be all that difficult to handle, it has to be something simple, it didn't look all that terrible, maybe he is not too badly hurt and he could come back soon enough? Like miss maybe just 1-2 games and play? Real is unlucky with injuries to be fair, that's so sad.
The matches played in the current national team have resulted in many key players getting injured and ofcourse, this kind of incident is a very undesirable event for the club . But ya, regarding Vinicius, basically or in the early matches this seasons, the fact is that Vinicius was also injured and what happened was, Real Madrid still able to get goodresults because of the good performance of Bellingham . So ya, it seems that Ancelotti has also experienced cases like this before, so ofcourse Ancelotti will be able to handle it again. Therefore, I think Real Madrid still have a chance to get back to the top of La Liga standings when compared to Barcelona and Atletico. |

AC Milan has had many injured players so far and this team is not in a good situation. Also, their player, Alessandro Florenzi is going to be probably suspended and they can't use this player for some time. But since Ac Milan don't have enough players and they can't take risk, Alessandro Florenzi is still training with the team.
Alessandro Florenzi said he didn't do any football gambling and there is a high chance for him to return to the team.
Injuries in several key players made AC Milan performance in Serie A in five matches worrying, not only that in the Champion League their performance is also not too impressive. Regarding Alessandro Florenzi, the news is not very clear but I heard from the local media abot Florenzi there is no strong evidence that man gambling on football, and it seems that his statement about didn't do any football gambling seems like honest as it is. Especially their players in defense who suffered a lot of injuries and also, two of their key players in attack also suffered injuries such as Rafael Leao and Pulisic . So ya, it is natural that Milan ultimately experienced a decline in performance and also got bad results in the last few matches because Milan failed to get three points. Obviously, a situation like this is not a good situation for Milan, because Milan is also faced with difficult competition this moment, especially in Serie A . But at least, if Milan can still stay in the top four, I think that will also be a good result for Milan when the team's situation is not completely good. |

There are potential players that are available to be transfer to top teams and there are some players that will dropped due to their decline in games performance. The brilliant players will always picks the limelight when it comes to the market, everything ought to be smooth for these players. Rumours fast arising with Tottenham Hotspur picking interests in signing Jude Bellingham's brother, Jobe from Sunderland in the coming transfer window. There's specifically a whole sum of transfers that be triggered in the markets, and this will be one of my favorites signings this summer.
When the transfer window opens, then ofcourse there will be many player transfers taking place, so it is notsurprising that many players will leave and come. But, regarding Jobe Bellingham, the fact is that when Bellingham succeeded verywell at Real Madrid, andthen Jobe Bellingham got attention too. Also, it was previously rumored that Jobe Bellingham would play for Real Madrid too and I think, at this moment Jobe Bellingham is in demand by many big teams and this will certainly make Tottenham not easy to get him. But ya, I think, because Jobe Bellingham is also still very young and no have experience of playing at bigger clubs and competitions. So ya, maybe I think there is no definite guarantee that Jobe Bellingham will be as successful as Bellingham at Real Madrid. |

I think betting on Al Hilal is still safe even if we consider another team like Al Nassr in this league because we know Al Hilal was always best in the Saudi Arab and regardless of the bad start they had in this season, I think Al Hilal could get in the right place at first place of the table while Al Nassr can also have a good chance because of the more paly they have in this team like Ronaldo but I still bet on Al Hilal in this league.
I really appreciate predictions in everything you are thinking about right now, but to be honest, even though Al Hilal can win with any chance, I will choose to bet on double chance to avoid the risk of surprises happening because after all, surprises like ending in a draw can definitely happen because Al Nassr also a strong team in the SPL, while Al Hilal strategy is always to hold a draw if they cannot beat their opponent. For example, Al Nassr is very favorite to win, but I don't think Al Nassr will win with a big score either. Therefore, perhaps if Al Nassr are very favorites to win, and then betting on Al Hilal with a handicap option for example +1.5, it maybe still a good option. Because ya, basically, Al Hilal is not a weak team at all because Al Hilal is still at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings at this moment. Therefore, even though Al Nassr is the favorite to win, but I believe that maybe Al Nassr will only be able to win with one goal difference. |

Considering Liverpool's general performance since the start of the season, I think it's very much realizable for them to end the season with the English Premier League title as well as the UEFA Europa League trophy.
They have all needed quality of players to achieve that feat as well as a manager that's good enough to help them do the double. But u think they'll have stiffer opponents in the Europa League in the knockout stages and that's when they'll be seriously tested
Yes, looking at the progress they made after undergoing a difficult phase, they are slowly getting better, and now in the English premier league they are also in a very good position to be able to provide competition for the race to become champions. In the Europa League they stumbled in their last match, but their chances of being in the next round are very high. I'm also sure Jurgen Klopp will make the best of it in these 2 different competitions, in the English Premier League and in the Europa League. Their strength is slowly returning, I think they have started to find their true selves. It seems, although Liverpool have a chance to get the Europa League trophy this season, but somehow I feel Liverpool will still find it difficult to get it. Because as far as I remember, that Liverpool quite often slipped when playing in important matches or in decisive matches. Therefore, although I also believe at this moment Liverpool have a chance to be able to advance to the final match, but on the other hand I not entirely sure. Because yes, that performance instability can be a problem for Liverpool over time but yes, hopefully a bad case like that doesn't happen this time. |

Manchester United is filled with injured players. Goalkeeper Andre Onana was added to the general list. While playing for the Cameroon national team in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the goalkeeper was injured. Thus, he was added to the club’s list of injured: Hoylund, Eriksen, Evans, Martinez.
It is a pity that Manchester United got such injuries, because even though Manchester United can still play them in the main squad, but the fact is that Manchester United is still difficult to get good results in each match this seasons. Moreover, at this moment Manchester United is at the bottom of group A and by losing players due to such injuries, it will certainly be more difficult for Manchester United to be able to improve its position in this group phase . Considering also, the two remaining matches for Manchester United are against Galatasaray and against Bayern Munich and thus, Manchester United loses the chance to finish in the top three. |

PSG have been given @1.49 odds for the win against Monaco in Parc des Princes. I understand the thinking of bookmakers but I don't know. It still feels like this is lower than it should be. Because we are talking about an unbalanced team this season. But looking at the Ligue 1 table I can also see that impressive winning streak on one hand.
This is the main reason of these odds though. But Monaco have been a pain for PSG in their last three head-to-head games. They couldn't beat them in any of them. I wonder if we would see PSG breaking this cycle by a win this time.
This game will be interesting and tough but then, how important is this game for Paris Saint Germany? Yes they have to win to maintain the top. Best prediction for the match will be to score two goals in the game. Monaco are also stubborn club at home or away they have given PSG a tough time since 2020! Parisians will not want to lose them best players in this game to Injury, they have a more challenging test that though I'm sure they'll win against Newcastle at home. The way they'll play when facing Monaco will be reflected when they play Newcastle also on Tuesday night. Newcastle also should lose both games, they will against Chelsea and then PSG! Indeed, last season PSG failed to beat Monaco but at this moment, at least Monaco does not have a good record of results for away matches. Because anyway, from 6 away matches of Monaco so far in Ligue 1, the fact is that Moncao also has only 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss . Because so far this season, Monaco only has better results for home matches and thus, playing away against PSG is likely to remain a difficult job for Monaco. But even though PSG is very favored in this match, but I think it is still not easy for PSG even though indeed, PSG still has a chance to win but maybe only with a thin score. |

I agree with everyone that Leipzig is the clear favorites there, but there is one more game Bayern vs Koln, which is 100% or so guaranteed, at least lets say 99% guaranteed because in football anything could happen and we have seen even Bayern fail to win, and even losing to a third division team which was a shocker but we do not see teams beating them at bundesliga that easily, so it shows that anything is possible while also the fact that Bayern rarely ever loses ever.
Leverkusen is playing Werder Bremen, which by the looks of it they are doing fine so they may win that one too, doesn't seem like a tough game but I still expect them to have a loss eventually, and we have Dortmund playing Gladbach and Dortmund needs to stop this bad situation. All in all, if we want to make a huge parlay bet, there is nothing stopping us and we could totally do that, there is like at least 4.00+ odds laying there, maybe more if you want to bet more games as well.
Only @4.00 from 4 games? I think it's too risky. There is no doubt for Bayern Munich, but for the other 3 teams I doubt that they will win for sure. Since I believe Bayern Munich will win, I will bet on their match against Koln, and not on the 1X2 type of bet. I would choose -1.5 for Bayern Munich on a handicap bet, it gets @1.66, although these odds are not very good, but also not too bad to get a sure win by 2 goals. Still, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are still certain to win in the next match. I personally don't care about away matches for them, because of course at this moment they are still in a very good trend so the victory can still be obtained by Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen despite playing away. But about Dortmund, although Dortmund will play at home, but I personally doubt it a little but maybe, betting for both teams to score can be a good option too. Also maybe about Leipzig and yes, I also doubt Leipzig to win in the away match against Wolfsburg, because it seems that Wolfsburg is not easy to beat at home at this moment. |
