I think group E also interesting to see because in my opinion at least 3 teams who had equal chances to qualified and probably only Celtic can be considers as underdog team because Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Feyenoord are equally strong and about Lazio finally after 3 years they can return to champion league again and last time they were playing at this competition on season 2020 at that time Lazio finish at second position but unfortunately at round of 16 they have been eliminated by Bayern Munich
Besides Lazio i am will looking forward to see Feyenoord performance this season because they came as Eredivisie champion status and that's why UEFA placed them in the pot 1 for drawing pot but last time they have been playing in this competition is 6 years ago and Feyenoord have to eliminate early because they have been displaying poor performance because Feyenoord only can able to gets 1 win from 6 matches and i want to know whether they can able to advances to the next stage or not because basically they placed into easy group

One of the important matches that I am curious about the result of today will be the Italy-Ukraine match.While the matches in Group C were competitive, both teams drew against their opponents in their last matches.Of course, although Italy is the favorite, it is important for Ukraine to take points from this match for themselves.Ukraine, which is 3 points ahead of Italy with one more match, will want to leave here with a draw at worst.I think the point they got against England gave them morale.Italy's draw against North Macedonia and loss of points also worked in their favor.
I expect Italy can able to beat North Macedonia before but they were failed to did that although at that time Italy were very dominate the match but North Macedonia can successfully to stole point from them and now against Ukraine i think win result is mandatory for them because it will keep their chances to finish at second second position under England but to beat Ukraine it won't be easy because Italy under Spaletti haven't found their shape and besides that i am sure Ukraine in the positive condition after they can able to get draw result from strong team England however although on the paper Italy is the favourite but i personally doubt they will overcomes Ukraine because in my opinion Ukraine isn't weak team but for betting options i was considering to bet both teams to scores |

Despite the tempting offers coming from Saudi Arabia many players still love to play in Europe. Kevin De Bruyne is having a great time at Manchester City, I doubt he will be considering a move outside Europe at the moment. As for Lewandowski, I cannot rule out a possibility of joining the Saudi clubs in the future because he is aged and more likely he may want a good pay and a less competitive league to finish the rest of his career.
Kevin De Bruyne has being an Manchester City important player since several years ago and he was help this team to gets many of trophies and the latest is Kevin De Bruyne was able to help Manchester City to gets treble winner last season and one of his best achievement during his career is Kevin De Bruyne was able to gets champion league trophy with this team and his performance for every seasons also very consistent so that's why if De Bruyne didn't got the injured Guardiola always be playing him De Bruyne was admitting that after the final match against Inter Milan on champion league there was Saudi Arabian club who attempts to tempting him to moved to Saudi Pro League but he was respond it immediatelly with refuse that offer because De Bruyne want to staying much longer with Manchester City and i think Saudi Arabian clubs will not give up to gets him and this winter possibly they will attempts to tempting him again with huge money |

Ramos may be able to help Sevilla's defense this season, but one cannot expect him to perform as well as before considering his age. As an experienced player, I am sure Ramos will play a good role in Sevilla's defense and he has proven it at PSG last season.
Ramos' performance is still good and he made 33 appearances last season in Ligue 1. Sevilla must give him trust or even a big role so that the team's mentality and defense are good. But I don't rule out the possibility that Sevilla actually also needs a good striker, clearly that could encourage more possibilities in their plans to win the match. La Liga has tough competitors, that's why Sevilla can't just carry out its mission without good squad depth.
Ramos is a strong defender, but we must know that he is no longer in their best form. I am not pessimistic about his contribution, he may bring positive impact for Sevilla defense line. However, with the current situation on Ramos, I don't think Ramos can significantly improve the strength of Sevilla defense. Moreover, Ramos often gets injured, he may be absent in some matches. Sevilla actually has a good striker, En-Nesyri. This player often shows amazing contribution for Sevilla. But it is good if Sevilla has another strong striker, it will strength the power of Sevilla attacking. Anyway, there is something crucial for Sevilla, they lost their main goalkeeper. I think they also need a strong goalkeeper now. After 19 years playing with different teams finally Ramos was return to Sevilla again so this is fantastic moment for him because he want to ended his career with Sevilla and indeed Ramos has passed his prime and i am sure he will be unable reach to his top performance again just like when he was showed while he playing with Real Madrid but at least he can give a significant contribution to Sevilla current conditions with his experience and besides that we all know Sevilla will playing at several different competitions and the manager can played Ramos as the options of defender player About Youssef En Nesyri he was playing with Sevilla since 2019 and although from goals records his performance is not too impressive but at least En Nesyri can help Sevilla to gets several trophies but Sevilla have to hard work to defend En Nesyri because the rumours is AC Milan was interested to him and they will attempts to bought En Nesyri from Sevilla this winter |

We cannot blame them. Perhaps Dortmund needs financial help. They are a training ground that produces many stars. Suppose Dortmund has big financial sponsors. I believe they don't sell their stars easily. They have sold a lot of young talent but are still a severe opponent of champion Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League, big clubs also have to worry when facing them.
How strong will Dortmund be when it has a lot of money to recruit players?
Last year Dortmund president Hans-Joachim Watzke has been admit this situation that why Dortmund keeping to sold their important players is because Dortmund has facing financial conditions so keep selling talented players with expensive price can be good solution to stabilized Dortmund conditions so he was admit too pursuing Bayern Munich is not Dortmund primary target so that's why every managers who train this team was never set high targets in the Bundesliga And Dortmund is the right place for young talented players because at this team their chances to playing regularly will be wide open and Dortmund has a policy that they will giving young players the opportunities to gets more minutes to play and the results is those players can be performing well and they can be sold to other teams with expensive price and the latest proof is Haaland and Bellingham that these players can be change as one of the most talented players in the world and Dortmund has been created them |

Regarding Lyon this season, they had a disappointing performance so far and they lost many points, We know Lyon was racing at the top of the table in last season but right now they are in the danger zone and had a poor performance, especially in the game against PSG when they lost the game with 4-1 result. Laurent Blanc is under pressure but he has not been fired yet, however, Lyon thinking about Gennaro Gattuso who was working at Valencia.  But last season Lyon also only finished in seventh position and of course, finishing in seventh position is not a good achievement for Lyon either. Also, will Lyon current poor results immediately sack Laurent Blanc and replace him with Gattuso? After all, I think Gattuso also does not have good quality as a head coach, so if Lyon fired Laurent Blanc and recruited Gattuso, then the result would be the same. Therefore, then of course this season Lyon will only struggle in the relegation zone, and maybe the case will be the same as Sevilla in La Liga last season and this season too. It's still early in the season and it would be a shame if Lyon fired Laurent Blanc, because it would make things worse, Lyon's poor performance at the start of this season cannot be separated from their lack of improving the quality of the team to cover this season, there are not many transfers from Lyon to cover the season This, this is quite unfortunate even though Lyn is one of the top teams in Ligue One. Meanwhile, I think the Gattuso rumors are a little strange, because Gattuso is not a coach who has experience and a history of successfully managing teams. This rumours has been appears because Lyon had poor start in France league so people will starting to speculate Laurent Blanc will be sacked and if these poor results still resumes i think Lyon owner don't want to take the risk that they have to immediatelly decide whether they will sacked Laurent Blanc or not and everything will be decided after the match against Le Harve this weekend and if Lyon can able to beat their opponent then for time being Laurent Blanc position will be safe but if Lyon lost from that match i am sure the owner will immediately sacked Laurent Blanc Just like i said before there are some of candidate as the replacement of Laurent Blanc and the names such as Julen Lopetegui, Oliver Glasner, Thiago Motta, and Graham Potter has been linked to them but i am quite surprised by Lyon owner was putting Genarro Gatusso as the next candidate of Lyon manager because so far he hasn't gets good achievement during his managerial career even i have to says it's very risky to placing him as new manager because last season Valencia has poor performance under him and they even almost being to relegated |

West Ham vs Manchester City
West Ham have really been on an impressive rise at the start of this season. They were unbeaten in the first 4 matches where they only lost 2 points due to a draw against Bournemouth. David Moyes is responsible for the positive results obtained by West Ham in the last 4 matches, but this weekend he has to accept a tough challenge from defending champions Manchester City.
Manchester City has proven its quality as a team that is truly capable of maintaining consistent performance. They have not dropped a single point in the last 4 matches so people will be fully confident they can beat West Ham in their next away match. I hope the match will be difficult and not many goals will be scored throughout the match, but it all really depends on the team's overall performance.
West Ham indeed starting this league with impressive performance and i am quite surprised with them especially after they lost Declan Rice that i thought West Ham will be hard struggling to performing well without him but Moyes has been found the replacement of Declan Rice that their new player which is transfered from Ajax Edson Álvarez and i have been noticed in the last 3 matches he can adapt quickly with West Ham and Álvarez also can bringing significant progress to West Ham performance But Manchester City is the strongest team in Premier League now and it's very hard to beat them even i have to says they are too consistent if we compared with other teams in this competition so in my opinion although West Ham has been successfully to showing impressive performance lately but i think Manchester City will being an the winner of this match |

I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo doesn't play today because Portugal is already safe with 15 points I mean if Portugal lose or draw it won't have any impact so the coach will keep Ronaldo to avoid bad things. Luxembourg has been active in scoring goals lately but Portugal's defense is very strong so I don't think Luxembourg can score unless they are lucky to have a chance through a penalty, my prediction is that this match will end with low goal maybe 1 or 2 goals of course only Portugal scored, an interesting betting option is under on total goals.
Ronaldo as a Portugal captain and if he didn't gets the punishment because card accumulation i am sure the manager will played him since early match and confirmed the manager will playing Goncalo Ramos as the replacement of Ronaldo so hopefully Ramos will be able to performing well and help Portugal to win this match and actually i am quite surprised to see Luxembourg performance during qualification because in my opinion they performance were very impressive but indeed even without Ronaldo i think Portugal is too strong for Luxembourg and in the first met on March Luxembourg has been humiliated by Portugal with big scores 6-0 so i am confident this time Portugal will be able to win with big scores again or at least win with 2 goals margin and that's why for this match i personally more prefer to bets over 2.5 goals |

Something is going wrong with them and I wonder if they can solve an important part of their problems until the group matches start. If they don't then this group might turn out to be really interesting.  It needs time for manchester utd to solve its problems. It will not be easy task for them to leave from so many allegations toward its players and the club. I would like to see galatasaray to be qualified for play off stage rather than manchester united. Galatasaray potentially beat manchester united to finish at the second spot. You can imagine if ten hag will put meguire and evans in the game. If we see Maguire in the starting eleven of Manchester United then Galatasaray's getting a positive result against them would be more likely.  I don't expect Manchester United to rotate their starting eleven in the first match they play against each other though. But the next time they are facing each other is on match week 5. Maybe then we can see Manchester United making a rotation. I'm just waiting for especially both matches between these teams as these ones will be the decider about the second position. Galatasaray need to improve their defending until the tournament starts by the way. Otherwise I won't be hopeful about them much. Manchester United vs Galatasaray will be held at next month which mean 3 weeks remaining and probably before the match against Galatasaray some of their players will be recover but indeed this month Manchester United will facing tight schedules because after against Brighton on Premier league they have to facing Bayern Munich on champion league and at least Manchester United will play total 5 matches this September and this is not good for them because Ten Hag have not much options to rotate Manchester United squad However liked it or not if some of their defender such as Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martinez are still got injured i think most likely Ten Hag will played Maguire into starting eleven for upcoming match however recently Manchester United new player Sofyan Amrabat also got injured and he cannot play with Morroco national team but still no update yet regarding his condition |

After defeated with huge scores 4-1 from Japan finally Germany football federation have decide to sack Hansi Flick from manager position this because they feel dissapoint to Germany performance under Hansi Flick and even in the last 5 matches Germany have to conceded 16 goals and only scores 7 goals so this is poor statistics considering Germany is strong candidate for every football competitions and as a host for Euro 2024 i think Germany have to bounce back immediatelly and find new manager
Rumour is some of famous coaches such as Jurgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann, and Louis van Gaal has into the candidate for next manager but Klopp has been confirmed he want to staying at Liverpool and he don't interested to train Germany national team for now and Louis van Gaal have showing his interest to being an the next manager and both representative was under negotiation to talking about this

 Genoa may be quite confident this week because they will play as hosts, but their opponents are now last season's Scudetto champions, Napoli. In general, Genoa can be said to be quite capable of providing resistance to Napoli because they managed to win 1x previous match against a strong team like Lazio. Even though in the end they are currently in 14th position, at least they are still quite better than Roma. Now Napoli are required to win this match because they must immediately take their throne back from Inter. If you look at the available odds, Napoli get very good odds @1.69 and that would be a promising bet if betting on Napoli winning. Genoa still unable to gets the winning result at their home and they even lose while playing at their home from Fiorentina on week 1 so i have to says it doesn't guarantee Genoa will be performing well although this is their home match and especially Napoli also don't want to slipped again because their contender just like Inter or Milan had impressive performance compared to them and indeed some of Napoli players haven't reach to their top performance again especially Kvaratskhelia that after return from injured i think Kvaratskhelia still unable to performing well but i still believe in this match Napoli can collect 3 points from Genoa and i think odds @1.69 is quite decent to bet even this might be the safe bet because Napoli will most likely win this match |

Honestly Lens lost some good players, and hoping some of the players they got gets adjustment, even if you get a better player there is an adjustment period, and some good ones left so it may take some time. Lyon is even in worse situation, they have sold players worth of 100+ million euro total, and got 20 million worth of players. That means there is a near 90 million euro difference between the players they sold and they got. That causes any team to be a lot worse without a doubt.
Of course they would have been worse, sure they got some players too, but nobody that is gamechanger. So that is why I believe that it is going to be something that would be tough for them and shouldn't be a shock to see them at the bottom.
Yes indeed, it is also unfortunate for Lens, because in this season Lens also has to play in the Champion League. Therefore, at this moment Lens is experiencing a very difficult situation and conditions and again, Ligue 1 teams will not succeed in the Champions League and that is a bad result too. But yes, maybe Lens will put that aside because after all, improving their position in the Ligue 1 standings is the main thing. Because if not, then Lens and Lyon will struggle in the relegation zone throughout this season. Last season at the beginning of France league Lens was able to gets 9 matches unbeatable and they are very strong at their home ground because until end of season Lens has unbeatable status at home even these records is more good than PSG at that time but with their current situations i am so doubt Lens will be able reach to his achievement just like last season again because until week 4 they are one of strong team who unable to gets the winning results and it was never cross in my mind before because i have to see their position currently at 17th place Lens have done poor transfer this season because they have already sell their some of key players and they were attempts to buy new players to covered the position from those who leave this team but apparently it was bad decision because Lens new players performance currently were far from the expectation and they have hard task to bounce back and it wouldn't be easy especially Lens have to divided their focus by playing at champion league |

It looks like Tottenham's winning streak will be 4 games by their upcoming game against Sheffield home. This is an amazing way to start a season for Tottenham. Kane's leaving the team hasn't affected them negatively because they are playing more effective as a team right now. It seems like there is a good relationship with their new manager.
Just like i said before that surprisingly Tottenham can able to performing well without Kane and before the league starting mostly people has predict Tottenham will be suffering big lost because Kane has decide moved to Bayern Munich and apparently it doesn't take long time for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou to solved this problem because currently Tottenham were able to performing well and they got 3 winning streak and this weekend they have good chances to resumes their positive trend because Tottenham opponent is only Sheffield United and not necessary to analyzing for this match because obviously Tottenham is much better if we compared to Sheffield United but for bets options the bookmakers were giving low odds for Tottenham @1.29 |

I would like to know next weekend whether Newcastle will be able to bounce back and win from Brentford or not because from 3 matches they were failed to earn points and the latest is Newcastle lose from Brighton so their consistency is really tested this season because Newcastle had tight schedules because after fight against Brentford then on monday Newcastle have to play against AC Milan on champion league so Eddie Howe probably will do some rotation players to ensure all of Newcastle players in the good fitness
Last season Brentford was recognized as a giant killer this because they were so often to playing unpredictable and beat big teams but this season i have to says they haven't reach to their top performance again and about the match for next weekend i can see Newcastle had good records from Brentford so if they can managed their consistency i think very possible Newcastle will return to the winning ways and collect 3 points from Brentford

Win result is mandatory for Netherlands because they had 9 points gap below to France and this is not easy match because Ireland sometimes can able to performing well at their home ground but Netherlands also in the good shape because in the last 2 matches on group B they can able to scores 6 goals and wins the matches so i assume Netherlands in the in the positive trend and they are fully confident to facing this match
Netherlands probably will using same strategy just like when they were beat Greece few days ago and Weghorst will be played as centre striker along with Xavi Simons and Gakpo as attacking midfielder and this strategy has successfully to make Netherlands playing with more attacking and for betting options Netherlands win has odds @1.70 i think this odds is quite decent to try because in my opinion Netherlands had good chances to win the match but besides that over 2.5 goals also seems good pick

Lorient will be next opponent for Monaco and i think this is interesting match because based on head to head statistics i can see Monaco always be hard struggle to beat Lorient even in the last 5 meetings Monaco was only able to win once from Lorient so this proven Lorient could be the first test for Monaco consistency and indeed this season Monaco performance is quite impressive that at least after week 4 Monaco can able to occupy first place on Ligue 1 and the combination between their forward players such as Minamino, Ben Yedder and Aleksandr Golovin make Monaco is quite sharp currently and total these players has been scores 8 goals besides that i am looking forward to see Balogun performance because last week his debut match doesn't run well that he was starting the match from the bench and playing only 17 minutes but he hasn't scores goals yet

Arsenal first match in this competition and they will fight against PSV and this is very interesting because both teams have been met last year on Europa league and both teams have defeated each other which mean PSV can be considers as tough opponent for Arsenal especially PSV performance were increase rapidly because since July PSV has fantastic achievement and since that month PSV has through 11 matches with unbeatable status in all competitions and before they advances to the group stage PSV has been done a good job because they can able to eliminate Rangers with total aggregate 7-2 so although Arsenal is the favourite in this match but PSV cannot be underestimate because they have a potention to make Arsenal get in trouble

There was a bad news regarding Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes this because seems he got injured after defend Brazil national team and while Brazil fight against Bolivia he was played as a starter and in the second half Brazil manager Fernando Diniz have to replace him because apparently Gabriel got injured and until now there was no certain news regarding his condition but Arsenal should be worried about this situation because we all know Gabriel is Arsenal key player and Arteta always be playing him for each matches and if Gabriel had serious injured i think it will be big lost for Arsenal because previously they have to lost Jurrien Timber who confirmed got long term injured and Arsenal will be lack of defender players

Roma and Empoli both started the season very badly. From 3 matches, Empoli even lost 3 times. And likewise with Roma who have not won a single win from 3 matches at the start of this season. Roma only got 1 point from a draw against Salernitana. Against Empoli, Roma should be able to win the match more easily. Well this is a home game for Roma. And I think it's time to save the dignity of a good coach like Mourinho. I think Roma will win with a close result like 1-0 or 2-1. If Roma don't get a win in this match then I think this will really be the worst season for Roma.
Also, in the next match, AS Roma seems to have been able to play Lukaku and thus, AS Roma should be able to get their first three points this season. After all, the fact is that Empoli also does not have a good record when playing against AS Roma and therefore, at this moment also Empoli still does not seem to have the ability to win. Moreover, if I consider the odds available at the moment, it is at least clear that AS Roma are very favored to win. So yes, I personally still believe that AS Roma will get a win in the match against Empoli in the next match in Serie A. Against Empoli, it looks like Mourinho will use Lukaku as the starter in this match because Roma front line was very dull at the start of this season because the absence of Tammy Abraham had a negative impact on their performance in the early matches of this season. Lukaku had appeared with Roma when Roma faced AC Milan, but in that match Lukaku was not able to have a big influence in the match because he came on in the 70th minute and at the same time he needed a process to adapt to Roma game. So, in the match against Empoli, I think Roma chances of getting full points are quite big because they are playing in front of supporters and of course Lukaku will try his best to make a difference to Roma front line in this match. It is hoped that Lukaku and Dybala can bring victory to Roma in this match. Mourinho doesn't have much options for forward lines now because they only have Lukaku and Belotti so Mourinho have to optimalized these players although the performance of these players doesn't too satisfied him and as far i know Dybala was got injured so he was unable to play this week even while Roma defeated by Milan last week Dybala wasn't available at the squad and i think this also causes why Roma lost because without Dybala Roma can't so anything on that match And last week Mourinho has attempts to played El Shaarawy to replace Dybala position but he was unable to performing well maybe because El Shaarawy real position is not striker because he is a attacking midfielder and if Mourinho will using the same strategy which mean he will used 2 striker and there is a chance for Lukaku to being an the starter while Roma fight against Empoli so lets see whether Mourinho will played him since the beginning of match or Lukaku will starting the match from the bench again |

I prefer to think that they are struggling to score goals rather than not trying to score many goals in a match because looking at their condition for the beginning of this season it seems very difficult for them to score more than 2 goals in 1 match.
There still needs to be some familiarisation when trying out some of the younger players and Lewandowski's performance is still hampered by the opposition's marking which makes it difficult for Barcelona to find many goals in their matches.
Despite this the chances of them winning definitely remain as they are the favourites and the worst possibility is a draw although this would be difficult for Betis to force a draw.
I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them. Lewandowski has admitted that he has slow start this season because if we compared to his goal records last season is much better than now and even his goals records with Poland national team is much better than in Barcelona and Lewandowski has been complaining Xavi tactic while Barcelona only playing draw against Getafe last month this because he hasn't gets enough ball supply from the midfielder so that's why he was unable to scores at that time but i think it's only a matter of time to see Lewandowski reach to his top performance again because gradually he has found his shape again and the latest proof is he was able to scores two times in a row when Barcelona win from Osasuna and Villarreal |
