I was just suprised when everyone was just certain about arsenal winning that game, I mean Newcastle are a very stubborn side and they have already won arsenal twice this season and even that shows it wasn't going to be easy for them to tackle Newcastle. Sometimes just as you said it, it's better to bet on goals especially when the two teams are good and close to each in terms of playing strength.
In the first leg match we saw Newcastle win 2-0. So I thought Newcastle would try to draw the match in this match. Newcastle might play defensively. But we didn't see that. Like the first match, Newcastle won this match by 2-0. Newcastle team is quite strong and stable this season. We have seen Newcastle players are confident and can perform well even against big teams. Moreover, Newcastle is trying their best to do well in the EFL Cup. Newcastle cannot win any title. If Newcastle can win the EFL Cup, it will be a big achievement for them.

Kean is already under Premier League eye. He has a release clause of 50 millions and he can leave any time.
He already went in England but he failed with everton.
The way Moise Kean is performing this season is certainly commendable. Fiorentina's midfield is not very strong. However, we can see consistent good performance from Moise Kean. Moise Kean has scored 15 goals and provided 2 assists in 22 matches. Next season, several Premier League teams may want to take Moise Kean to their squad. Moise Kean is only 24 years old. This young man can support any squad for a long time. And if he is with a strong squad, we will see further improvement in Moise Kean's performance. Also, 50 million is not a big amount for a player like Moise Kean. If Manchester United can add a player like Antony to the squad by spending 96 million, I would say Moise Kean deserves 100 million+

I think It very difficult to beat Australia in this match, it seems impossible now because at the end of the second day, Australia has got a lead of 67 runs. I don't understand what will be the misjudgment from the Sri Lankan team as they have failed to take the wicket of the Australian batsmen. A great partnership continues between Australia's Steve Smith and Alex Carey, which has shaken the Sri Lankan team's bones and this match has become one-sided. Australia Already have won the first test match the way they are giving batting performance I think Australia second test match will also go to whitewash by beating Sri Lanka
 Winning a Test match against Australia is almost impossible for Sri Lanka. Even then, we expected Sri Lanka to play well at home. But Sri Lanka is not able to do well at home against an experienced Australian team. Sri Lanka managed to take two wickets very quickly. But like in the first match, Alex Carey and Smith have completely changed the scenario. However, in the first match, we saw a big innings from Khawaja. Khawaja managed to score 36 runs in this match. Smith scored 120 and Alex Carey remained unbeaten on 139 runs. Australia's total is 330 for 3. Australia has already taken a lead of 73 runs. I think Australia will be able to take a lead of at least 220+.

Is the second match between Sri Lanka and Australia going to be competitive? Sri Lanka has collected a decent score. Sri Lanka has not been able to collect a big score. The team has collected 257 runs in the first innings. However, Australia has lost two wickets very quickly. Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne have not been able to bat well. Travis Head returned to the dressing room after collecting 21 runs and Marnus Labuschagne has collected only 4 runs. The team has collected 37 runs and lost two wickets.  Australia is now 57/2. Despite losing wickets quickly, Australia has the ability to collect big scores. Almost every batsman in the Australian squad is talented and capable of playing big innings. So if Sri Lanka's bowlers fail, Australia may collect 500+ in this match too.

Real Madrid had a hard time away against Leganes in the quarter-final match of the King's Cup. More precisely, the Leganes goalkeeper had difficulty passing Soriano. They finished the first half leading 1-2, but Leganes made the score 2-2 in the 59th minute. Gonzalo, who came into the game instead of Endrick, scored the winning goal at 90+3. Ancelotti's move brought the match.
I have to praise Leganes performance today, they played differently and were able to make Real Madrid struggle even though they lost, on the other hand Ancelotti entrusted this match to young players with Modric as a balancer and playmaker, and the result was very satisfying Endrick, Arda and Gonzalo Garcia played like main players, I have to say Ancelotti needs to add more playing minutes to them. With this result Real followed Atletico in the semifinals, 2 slots left and will be contested by Barcelona, Valencia, Real Sociedad and Osasuna today. Leganes was a weak opponent. That's why Ancelotti gave the young players of his squad a chance in this match. And such a decision is very important to gradually give young players experience. I would say that young players should be given more chances. Leganes players were confident. Leganes played well enough, there is no doubt about it. Although Leganes lost the match, it was not easy to score 2 goals against a strong team like Madrid. If Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid meet in the semi-finals, the match will undoubtedly be very competitive. These two teams are very strong this season. Atletico has the full ability to win against Real Madrid. However, I would like to see the final between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In the English Premier League, Newcastle is not a stronger team than Arsenal at all, but still the result is against Arsenal and in favor of Newcastle. The second leg of the semi-final of the EFL Cup saw Arsenal exit the tournament with a 4–0 aggregate defeat against Newcastle. If we discuss only the second leg match then there is really nothing to say for Arsenal as they did not perform in a way that can be appreciated based on their performance.
Overall, Newcastle will be behind Arsenal. However, Newcastle can no longer be considered a weak team. We have been seeing better performances from Newcastle for the past few years. And now this team is able to play well against big teams. So I am not surprised at all to see Newcastle win the EFL Cup match. However, I thought we would see a better performance from Arsenal in this match. But Arsenal did not play well. Perhaps Arsenal is more concerned about performing well in the Premier League now.

Marseille have good start but sadly due to problems and inconsistency things gone out of favour, and now they have to stay at second spot which is also good but Monaco and Lille are also doing their best for creating challenges which can bring problems for them in coming rounds. Marseille have good coach and players but still situation is not favourable for them to have competitiveness for PSG, but they are having good season after having worst end in last season which give them shocking end.
Marseille has failed to maintain consistency. Marseille is 10 points behind PSG. It will not be possible for Marseille to reduce the 10 points gap in 14 matches. So it can be said that PSG is going to be the champions of Ligue 1 this season.  The top 3 teams in the points table will be able to qualify for the Champions League. So I don't think it will be very difficult for Marseille to qualify for the Champions League. However, if we see a further decline in Marseille's performance in the upcoming matches, then it will be difficult for Marseille to stay in the top 3 of the table. Lens, who are in sixth place in the table, are 7 points behind Marseille. And Lille, who are in fourth place in the table, are only 5 points behind. So Marseille will have to play better if they want to qualify for the Champions League.

One thing to keep in mind is that Liverpool suffered their only defeat against PSV. The Dutch team is a team full of surprises. I think it will be a difficult match for the Italian team in the match they will play in Holland. The crowd support is very high for PSV. This makes the opponent very difficult in the match. They have very passionate fans in terms of atmosphere. If Juventus cannot pass this elimination, it could be a problem for Motta.
Personally I think PSV is stronger than Juventus. Although Juventus' defense is strong, their overall performance is weak. Especially Juventus' attack and midfield are not strong enough. And this is why Juventus has to share points in most of the matches in Serie A. Also, in the last matches of the Champions League, we have not seen Juventus win. On the other hand, PSV's attack is strong. And we have seen PSV's players play well against big teams. PSV's players have performed well against Liverpool and PSG. I hope PSV's players can do well against Juventus as well. PSV has full potential to defeat Juventus. If you look at the Liverpool starting eleven when Liverpool lost against PSV, in reality Liverpool played second string players and also, Liverpool play away. Because after all, in that match Liverpool had been confirmed to qualify as the top of the standings, so Arne Slot also rotated players to give second string players more time to play in the Champions League. So, with PSV's success in defeating Liverpool, it can't be used as a main reference at all because after all, if Liverpool played the main players in that match, it is certain that PSV would lose. So, for the match between PSV vs Juventus later, I think consider maybe about their head to head record in their last meeting, about the big win that Juventus got by defeating PSV with score 3-1. You are right. PSV won against Liverpool's second-tier team. But after winning against a team like Liverpool, PSV players are definitely confident now. Also, PSV is performing very well in the Eredivisie. I have seen PSV's performance in several matches. I don't think this team is weak. PSV may not be very strong. But is there any chance to call Juventus a strong team? I cannot call Juventus' squad strong this season. Juventus has won one match in the last 5 matches of the Champions League. Juventus has drawn all three matches. How can we call this team strong? I am not sure if I will bet on this match. But I consider PSV to be the favorite.

Ind vs Eng
Looks like a batting track and Poms are belting Indians. Hoping for a high scoring chase, hopefully 350+.
Edit
Lol Philly boy just gifted his wicket.
 England's two openers started brilliantly. However, England lost their first wicket for 75 runs and their third wicket for 77 runs. Harry Brook could not add any runs to the scoreboard. Phil Salt batted aggressively. Phil Salt scored 43 runs off 26 balls. Ben Duckett was able to play an innings of 32 runs off 29 balls. Now there are two experienced players like Root and Buttler at the crease. However, England lost wickets quite quickly. England's run rate is quite good. However, if they cannot survive at the crease, England will not be able to give a big target. I do not see the possibility of England winning if they do not give a big target against India.

In my opinion, Chelsea played well in this match, there were many successful attacks compared to the visitors, even when Chelsea were behind first they managed to improve their style of play to be able to score an equalizer. So far Chelsea's performance has not been completely stable, sometimes they have not been able to take advantage of opportunities to win which determines the many efforts that must be completed to fix the gaps in the team. West Ham did surprise Chelsea fans who were present in the stadium because they were able to score first in this match. But unfortunately they failed to maintain their performance when Chelsea attacked them so West Ham had to be satisfied with less than satisfactory results because they lost points again in this match. The additional 3 points make Chelsea return to the top 4 by overtaking Manchester City because they failed to get points when they faced Arsenal.
It seemed that Maresca managed to make Chelsea a very strong team, but then there was a run of bad luck at the end of last year, and they lost points with not the strongest opponents. Maresca can say that it is difficult to achieve a quick result, but it seemed that he had decided on the lineup and the team should win. Maybe they were just unlucky because they played well and controlled the game, they just could not score goals. I am at least satisfied with Chelsea's overall performance. Although Chelsea's performance is not consistent yet. I would say that Chelsea management should now take necessary steps to strengthen their squad. Enzo Maresca has proven his ability. And it is also understandable that he is going in the right direction. So Chelsea management should now provide Maresca with big funds to buy players. Chelsea's match strategy is quite good. That is why we see Chelsea performing well even against strong teams. However, if Chelsea's target is to compete for the title next season, then Chelsea will have to prepare for it now. And of course the squad will have to be strengthened.

In fact, in the remaining 14 matches, Paris Saint-Germain will widen the gap even more. Because Paris Saint-Germain is much stronger than other French teams. Its squad is also larger. In case of injuries or suspensions, there are many players they can replace. This turns into an advantage for them. However, when we look at Marseille and Monaco, the players coming from the reserves in case of injuries or suspensions are not of the same quality.
After Luis Enrique became the coach of PSG, there has been an unprecedented change in the overall performance of PSG. Gradually, Luis Enrique has been able to stabilize this squad. PSG's squad lacks experienced players. Then this team is able to perform very well. PSG's match strategy is also very good. Dembele is in great form this season. This is possibly the best season of Dembele's career. Dembele has scored 13 goals and 4 assists in 18 matches. We have not seen Dembele score so many goals in any previous season. Luis Enrique is not worried about winning the Ligue 1 title. Now Luis Enrique's target is definitely to do well in the Champions League. However, I think Enrique should try to strengthen his squad for this. Especially experienced players should be added in the attack.

I also feel that the digitalized world has turned me into someone who bets more, but it doesn't bother me. Because I think I can control myself and digitalization gives me comfort. I can't blame them for giving me comfort, just like I don't blame anyone for buying supermarket groceries online. If I change my consumption habits because of technological developments, I am to blame, not anyone else.
You are right. If we can control ourselves, we will never be addicted to gambling. Gambling has spread a lot because of online gambling. We can now gamble easily. As a result, although the addiction to gambling has increased for many people. Because earlier we used to have to go to the casino to gamble. But now we can easily gamble through mobile or computer. But I would say that the worst effect has been on the youth. The youth are not properly aware of the dangers of gambling. They are easily attracted to gambling. They are not able to control themselves from gambling addiction. However, those who have been gambling for a long time or those whom we know as professional gamblers do not get addicted to it as a result of online gambling. Because they know how to control themselves. What makes you think that young people are interested in gambling nowadays? A few decades ago in my country young people gambled in almost every yard because there was much less entertainment than today. If you did not gamble you were considered strange. Now there is a huge amount of entertainment that is not addictive. I haven't seen young people playing card games in a long time. Even when gambling was allowed in my country, there were always more old people than young people in land-based casinos. I used to live in a country where gambling was illegal. So people couldn't gamble spontaneously. And there were no casinos here. Since gambling is officially illegal, no one can gamble openly. Online casinos have been a blessing for these people. Because now they can participate in gambling from home. At the same time, they are able to easily try different types of gambling. And this is why gambling is increasing among young people. In countries where gambling is legal, and there are many casinos, I think physical casinos are more popular than online casinos.

Inter Milan have their next match against Fiorentina where Inter Milan have a high chance of winning against this team. Maybe Inter Milan will not take too much pressure before taking the field against this team because Inter Milan know that if they can play their normal game in this match they can secure a big win against this team. If the points of Inter Milan and Napoli are equal then in a few more matches it will be seen that Inter Milan overtakes Napoli in terms of points and Inter Milan confirms the top position of the points table. I look forward to seeing Inter Milan top the points table again.
I think Inter Milan could reach the top of the points table but they played a match a few days ago that they could not win in the match. If they didn't draw in that match, their points would have been much higher. Yet they still have enough opportunities to rise to the top of the points table. Inter Milan will face Fiorentina in their next match and they may have to win this match if they want to move to the top of the points table, because the team they will face in that match is relatively weaker than them, this might be their best opportunity. If Inter Milan can perform in that match according to their previous record, then they are most likely to win that match. Inter Milan still has a chance to take the top spot in the table. Because Inter Milan has played 1 match less than Napoli and is 3 points behind. If Inter Milan can win their next match, then Inter Milan will take the top spot in the table. Although Napoli is at the top of the table, the overall performance of this team is not very strong. We saw Napoli's poor performance against Roma. Also, Napoli's attack is not strong enough. Napoli's players have scored 38 goals in 23 matches. On the other hand, Inter Milan has scored 56 goals in 22 matches. Napoli will not be able to hold on to the top spot in the table for long.

Football is primarily a system and game. Luck is also needed in the game, but some results are certain. Manchester United has a lot to do. If it doesn't happen this time, they will have to rebuild completely with Amorim. It will be a great success for the club to go further in the European league and at least be successful there after their recent failures. Focusing on the European cup instead of the league will give better results.
Good luck is needed. However, if the match strategy is weak, and the players also perform poorly in every match, then it is not possible to get good results by relying on luck alone. Manchester United's performance has improved somewhat with the help of Amorim. However, Manchester United's performance is still very irregular. A few days ago we saw that Manchester United performed very badly against Crystal Palace and lost. If Manchester United's performance is so irregular, this team will not be able to win the Europa League title. If they want to win the title, they will have to play well consistently in every match. This is not possible for Manchester United at the moment.

It does not matter the point gap and how Bayern performance was in their last match, because they got all three points from the match. Sometimes a club will be in a form that they will find it difficult to win but at the end they will still win the game. If Bayern doesn't drop points and continue winning their matches, six points gap will become uneasy to catch up with.
Bayern Munich is consistently able to gain points in the Bundesliga. In the last match, Holstein Kiel managed to score 3 goals against Madrid's defense. Kiel will score 3 goals in this match. It was unexpected because this team is not that strong. Even so, the important thing is that Bayern Munich managed to gain 3 points in this match. And still the top position of the table is occupied by Munich. Bayern Munich is 6 points ahead of Leverkusen. Bayern Munich coach Kompany is now worried about the next match in the Champions League. Bayern Munich must win the play-offs to qualify for the next round. Bayern Munich will face Celtic. If Bayern Munich makes any mistakes, they have the possibility of losing points in this match. Often Celtic players surprise us with their good performances.

It is not difficult for Liverpool to dominate the Premier League this season. Since the performance of Arsenal and Manchester City is still quite irregular, it has become easier for Liverpool to keep the top spot in their possession.  Arsenal has achieved 50 points in 24 matches. Nottingham Forest has achieved 47. City and Newcastle have achieved only 41 points. Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have a small chance of competing with Liverpool for the title. However, since we are not seeing consistent good performance from these two teams. Therefore, it does not seem possible for Nottingham Forest and Arsenal to reduce the big gap of 9 points. Only if Liverpool can perform somewhat consistently, they will win the title. Forest and Arsenal are the two teams who's got the chance around contending Liverpool but then Liverpool is very much in a good form that I feel it will be difficult to have them loose points to the point they become almost as equal with them by the end if the game. I'm still very optimistic with Liverpool but Arsenal's irregularities with their patterns has been a challenge will make me not completely trust they will make a better attempt especially looking at historical records. I am completely optimistic about Liverpool. I don't think Arsenal and Nottingham Forest will be able to compete for the title. I have seen their performance in Liverpool's recent matches. Liverpool's gameplay is very organized. Liverpool's match strategy is good. Both defense and attack are strong. This is why the team has been able to maintain a good performance consistency. On the other hand, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest's performance is strong now, but their overall performance is not consistent. We saw the Nottingham Forest team a few days ago losing 5-0 against Bournemouth.

Chittagong Kings are now playing against Barisal. Both Barisal and Chittagong are in good form now. A few days ago we saw that Chittagong played brilliantly against Barisal and won the match.
But Chittagong batsmen are not able to perform well in today's match. Chittagong won the toss and decided to field. Chittagong lost four wickets in 5.4 overs and collected only 34 runs.
Parvez Emon and Shamim have been able to build a big partnership. As a result, Chittagong's total is 109 runs for the loss of 4 wickets after 13 overs. Emon is batting very carefully. He is unbeaten on 36 runs from 32 balls. And Shamim's total is 47 runs from 28 balls. Chittagong has already scored 65 runs from this partnership. Shamim and EMon are in the best form in the Chittagong Kings squad. If these two batsmen can survive for another 5 overs, then I guess Chittagong team will be able to give a target of 180+ today. Chittagong's batsmen are not playing well. Now Chittagong's bowlers are also not bowling well. Barisal's two openers Tamim and Hridoy are batting very carefully. Chittagong's bowlers are not able to take a single wicket in 8 overs. Chittagong captain has used his 5 bowlers in 8 overs. But he could not take a single wicket. Barisal has managed to collect 52 runs in 8 overs. This cannot be called a good collection. The batting of both openers is very slow. If Barisal suddenly starts losing wickets, then the team will face a big problem. Barisal still needs 98 runs from 72 balls to win. If Chittagong's bowlers can take 2/3 wickets quickly, then the scenario of the match will change.

Liverpool is more than ready to keep consistently winning the game until the last match at the middle of this year. They're feeling so confident to win the trophy. Their odds is reflecting how bookies are also favoring them.
They have 9 points gap as long as they can win their unplayed match, which is gonna start next week. It's a problem for Arsenal caused by their opponent would not perform badly, and have to be ready to be trophyless again. They will be mocked once again for three years in a row.
