Looking at Manchester City's performance in their last two Premier League matches, they are not as strong as they were at the start of the season, and they escaped a draw against Fulham with a 90-minute plus penalty scored by Haaland to give them the lead; otherwise, they would have been four points behind Arsenal.
I think Fulham has playing well in that match but indeed they weren't lucky because conceded goal in the last minutes of second half which makes Fulham failed to gets point from home team and for Manchester City this match is very hard for them and not easy to managed the performance by playing with 10 players and besides that i think Manchester City has showed their champion mentality because after red card incident they weren't stopped to attack and dominated the match although the result might be not so satisfied but i think rare to see there is a team who can fliped the situation with only 10 players and win the match |

The result of match between Napoli vs Empoli was predictable that Napoli can showed consistent performance during the game and 3 points is deserved for them however 16 times undefeated and 10 winning streak in Serie A makes Napoli as the most stable team in Seria A and so far there were no strong contender for them especially after Milan failed win from Cremonese
On the other hand Udinese has continue their poor results again that they only can share point along with Spezia and before the match begin i thought Udinese can able to win from Spezia but apparently they cannot able to do that even during the match yesterday Spezia playing more better than them and 3 times in a row draws against mediocre teams i think there is something problem with Udinese squad so the manager have to solved this because if Udinese still playing inconsistency they probably will not reach to European zone

When I saw the results of Round 16's many stunning decisions, I grinned. It will be difficult for the qualifiers. Liverpool might not be in good shape this season, but they shouldn't be underrated. Napoli vs. Frankfurt with Napoli current performance should beat Frankfurt watching their performance in serial A and the other two matches that will be an entertaining are Dortmund vs. Chelsea and PSG playing Bayern. Let's see what each of these teams can do. Man City is playing against Leipzig is a starting bonus for Man City.
About Napoli vs Frankfurt i think Frankfurt will be tough opponent for Napoli although from their recent matches Napoli was better but Frankfurt lately has showed impressive performance and this team since last season has never stopped to surprising me and as defending champion of Europa league i will counted Frankfurt as one of dark horses team with their potention to beat strong team and besides that they also has successfully sent Sporting to Europa league which is most people has thought Frankfurt will be eliminate but they can fliped people predictions and qualified so this time Napoli has get decent opponent who possibly can make them slipped |

It seems like Newcastle and Aston Villa are targeting to sign Eden Hazard. This transfer is likely to happen in winter transfer window also. https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/hazard-confidencia-courtois-desti-decidit-retorn-casa_912462_102.htmlIt is said that Hazard is eager to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He has already said to his teammates that he wants to leave as Ancelotti doesn't seem like Hazard is a part of his plans. It would be the right thing to do for Hazard honestly. He hasn't played football properly for a long time since he joined Real Madrid. It was his biggest mistake in his career I think. He should have stayed at Inter while he was doing a great job. Anyway, it'd still be nice to see him back in the Premier League. I'd like to see him playing for Newcastle while they are this strong. Hazard was a good player while playing at Chelsea but when he was decide moved to Real Madrid this became an one of the biggest mistakes from his career and actually on January last year the rumour about his future already appears but he decide to stayed until hoping Ancelotti can giving chances to him to gets more minutes to play but unfortunately Ancelotti cannot trust him to playing regularly and he lost his place from starting eleven and his contract will be expired on 2024 but apparently Madrid are going to sell him this winter Moved to other clubs will be good decision for Hazard if he want to save his career so far indeed Aston Villa and Newcastle in the front line who want him even Aston Villa is very confident will gets him in this January but if he want to playing at european competitions i think Newcastle will be good choice for him considering this team performance is quite stable but Aston Villa and Newcastle have to realized this is high risk transfer this because Hazard has long term injured history |

Wolfsburg vs Dortmund
Actually Wolfsburg has starting Bundesliga with poor performance even at the beginning of league they were gets 5 consecutive no wins but apparently Wolfsburg can able to bounce back even after defeated by Union Berlin on September Wolfsburg has improved their performance with no lose 7 times streak in all competitions and their position on standings league also gradually better and they can avoid relegation zone
After seeing this records i might will considering Wolfsburg will be strong opponent for Dortmund although on the paper Dortmund is the favourite but it's hard to beat Wolfsburg especially at their home ground however for betting purposes most people obviously will see Dortmund can able to win the match but i personally thinking opposite that Wolfsburg might be will makes Dortmund slipped today so there is a chances for Wolfsburg will stole points from Dortmund

Interesting records from meetings statistics between Napoli vs Empoli today that Empoli can able to wins 3 times from 5 matches between them even last season Empoli can gets 2 winning streaks from Napoli but today might be will different that Napoli has more solid and they have been tested against strong teams such as Roma, Lazio and Milan but they can able to gets the winning results from those matches so although Empoli previous records against them was good but for today match Napoli will going to win the match and improved their records from Empoli however i haven't checked the odds yet for this match but Napoli win as betting option could be the safest pick so far

Before international break apparently Laliga will turn to busy because in this mid week there are some of matches available and after Madrid lose Barcelona have good opportunity to wided their difference points if they can able to win from Osasuna today and on the paper obviously Barcelona clearly better but to get the winning result from Osasuna it wouldn't be easy because Osasuna in the good shape after gets 3 wins from their latest 4 matches so they will attempts to gets another winning result from this match or at least Osasuna will attempts not to lose and steal point from Barcelona today however this is hard match for Barcelona and Osasuna have a potention to make Barcelona slipped if Barcelona cannot able to showed good performance

Liverpool's squad is not weak. Their squad is quite strong and they have a lot of talented players. Their weakness is that the chemistry between the players is not good. And their match strategy is weak compared to other teams. This is the only reason why they are not able to play well regularly this season. However, Liverpool's performance against Tottenham was stable. Especially Liverpool's two forwards Nunez and Salah had a good performance so they were able to win this match. However, these two players cannot be relied upon in all matches. Liverpool's overall gameplay needs to be more stable.
I was watching this match and second goal from Liverpool was pure from the mistakes which made from Tottenham player and i have to say Tottenham was playing poor on the first half even while been attacked Tottenham players looks panic and often to do some mistakes and Liverpool players realized this situations and utilized it to scorings goals But everything looks change on the second half that Tottenham can found their rhythm and playing well even they were made several attempts to scoring goals but Liverpool lucky because their players such as Alisson and Fabinho can playing well especially Fabinho that as holding midfielder he can guarded midfield side with very well but although Liverpool can win the match but i am not too satisfied with their performance because their defenders still lack of coordination |

Liverpool vs Real Madrid
PSG vs Bayern Munich
This is the most interesting matches on round of 16 so far and actually drawing results already predicted for some people this because PSG and Liverpool were failed to gets first places on standings groups so like it or not they will meet strong teams early
PSG and Bayern has been meet several times in the last 5 seasons and both of teams has beaten each other but one of the match i was remember between them is when they meet at the final match on season 2020 at that time PSG was lose 1-0 so whether PSG can able to take revenge or PSG will failed again through this match this is interesting to see
Liverpool this season has been showed inconsistency performance and unfortunately drawing results showed they have to meet against one of the strong candidate to get the trophy Real Madrid and the meetings records don't looks good for Liverpool because Madrid is too superior for Liverpool

I guess people will pay a lot of attention for the match between barcelona and MU. Barcelona may good in the domestic league but the performance in champion league was so bad. CR7 will be facing barcelona again. it may make him feel interested with that match. I hope that CR7 will be played against barcelona. MU needs to play serious to be able beating barcelona. The most interesting match to be seen. Just wanna see how serious MU to rebuild its team after the lost against aston villa in EPL. I will vote for MU  Actually i was hoping both of teams can meet on the final match but unfortunately they have to meet early on playoff matches and compared to track records between two managers Ten Hag has more experience than Xavi because while in Ajax he can bringing this team qualified to round of 16 on champion league on 2021 season but i will considers they are equally strong and not easy to predict who is the winner of the matches between them However this is final drawing for playoff Europa league today besides Barcelona and Manchester United i saw some of big teams will meet dark horses teams Barcelona vs Manchester United Juventus vs Nantes Sporting CP vs FC Midthylland Shakhtar Donetsk vs Stade Rennes Ajax Amsterdam vs Union Berlin Sevilla vs PSV Eindhoven FC Salzburg vs AS Roma |

Next match for today between Rayo vs Real Madrid and head to head statistics indeed showed Real Madrid had good records from Rayo but i think they should be careful from Rayo because possibly Rayo can be the team who hard to be defeated especially Rayo performance lately quite impressive with 4 times in a row unbeatable and from it they can able to gets 2 wins so if Madrid not focus i think they will be slipped especially they will playing without Kroos who suspended after get red card while against Girona and this player is so important for Real Madrid and losing him will have any effect for Madrid strength
If we talking about betting option the bookie provide decent odds for Madrid @1.70 and i don't know why because usually the odds for Madrid usually low while against mediocre teams but this is good option to those who want to bets for Real Madrid because regardless all of the factors which i mentioned above i think Madrid is the favourite to win this match

Leverkusen is the team who still fight for relegation zone but surprisingly they can able to humiliated Union Berlin with big scores and i am sure most of Union Berlin fans didn't expect this result because during this season Union Berlin has displayed strong defense even for each matches they never conceded more than 2 goals in all competitions before and i think this also indicated Union Berlin has failed to showed their consistency because seems they cannot managed their performance for each matches and with this result finally Bayern has taking over first position from Union Berlin and i am sure Bayern will last long on that position because compared to other teams their performance is more stable

Apparently Aston Villa players are not necessary to more adaptation for Unay Emery strategy because they can through yesterday match with 3 points and the result of Manchester United vs Aston Villa was beyond out of my expectation that Aston Villa has displayed fantastic performance even first half was belongs to them because Aston Villa has playing more effective than Manchester United
Besides that i noticed too Manchester United transition from attack to defense was still poor and it proven 3rd goal from Aston Villa that they cannot anticipate the counter attack from their opponent and another important thing why Manchester United failed to win because playing without Bruno Fernandes makes Manchester United players has lost their creativity to attack and it proven from their statistics yesterday that Manchester United still lacking for shots on goals

Roma vs Lazio and away team Lazio has suffering 2 losing streak against Salernitana and Feyenoord so their condition actually not really good and the opposite from Lazio that their opponent Roma has just find their shape because after defeated by Napoli few weeks ago Roma can able to bounce back and gets 3 wins in all competitions and for head to head statistics both of teams has been beated each other even on their last 5 meetings Lazio and Roma has equal records with gets 2 wins each and 1 draw
But if we compared the current condition from them i think Roma has slightly better than Lazio especially they are in the good mentally after qualified on Europa league and for this match too Mourinho looks confident will gets 3 points so although this option is quite risky because both of teams are equally strong but i would like to pick Roma win as my bet

About center-back Xavi will look into January transfers there are several candidates but that has not been decided yet as it will wait until after the world cup is over. Of course, after losing Gerard Pique then Xavi is here moving quickly to fill his position but he says Ińigo Martínez is an existing target. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1588511651003006977I hope Xavi will consider top center backs, Ińigo Martínez seems not strong enough. I think he is still an average center-back, he won't add an instant impact to improve Barcelona defense line. I am sure Milan kriniar and Niklas Süle are better options for Barcelona, they are stronger and have the ideal height as central backs. Barcelona needs a strong center back because their defense looks rather weak, Xavi should be aware of the current weaknesses of his squad. Apparently Barcelona probably won't spend a lot of money to get new players as the replacement of Pique this because they still have financial issue so that's why their target lists is the players with free transfer status and Inigo Martinez name indeed appears as the most possibilities player who will arrived to Barcelona even before Pique was decide to retired Barcelona already put his name into their watchlist since months ago even Martinez almost arrived to Barcelona this season There was a rumour Barcelona and Ińigo Martínez already have personal deal and he will be arrived to Barcelona at the end of this season and besides Martinez other name such as Diogo Dalot also appears as Barcelona watchlist player this because Dalot contract will be expired on June 2023 and his agent will looking for new clubs and the rumor is he offering Dalot to Barcelona |

A bit confused to see the odds between Leverkusen vs Union Berlin because the bookie placed Leverkusen as the favourite
Leverkusen @2.32
Union Berlin @3.15
Last season indeed Leverkusen can able to gets draw results from Union Berlin several times but for today those statistics cannot be used as the reference considering Leverkusen had poor performance and they have to fight to avoid relegated zone
For other match Freiburg vs Koln actually Koln could be tough opponent for Freiburg because they had several times stole points from Freiburg but i will considers home matches statistics from Freiburg could be my reference as my bet because so far with total 9 matches at their home ground in all competitions Freiburg can wins 6 from it so today too i think Freiburg can continue their positive results from Koln and gets 3 points

Lorient actually need more points to secured their position on standings league because they were failed to wins 3 times streak but unfortunately today they will faced strong opponent PSG and this is really hard match for them especially last week Lorient surprisingly lose at their home ground from Nice so my predictions Lorient will tasted another lose from this match
PSG had good records from Lorient even they were able to wins with 2 goals margin or more from Lorient so this proven PSG is too strong for home team but Galtier as the manager of PSG should be more concern to PSG defensive line because conceded 5 goals total from weak teams such as Troyes and Maccabi Haifa is not good achievement and Lorient also quite productive this season so if he don't want PSG slipped today i think he have to evaluated this issue and for those who want to bets for PSG win this option has odds @1.34

I can see the difference points from 3rd position until 7th is very tight so if there is a the team who lose or win today probably the positions on standings league will be changed and today Atletico will fight to defend their position against Espanyol if we see from their recent statistics obviously Atletico is better because they only lose once from 5 matches but for Espanyol they are really not in the good shape after only get 1 win from 8 matches but Atletico shouldn't not repeat their mistakes while against Cadiz and focus to this match and if Atletico can forget their losses and bounce back i think 3 points certaintly will belongs to them and the bookie provide odds @1.54 for Atletico indeed this is not high but it's quite fair considering Atletico as the favourite

Thanks for Napoli and Milan who helping me to wins my bets especially Napoli that they just had a hard match yesterday because in my opinion Atalanta also playing well even since the beginning of match Atalanta has gets several chances to scoring goals but unfortunately their players cannot be utilities those chances and i noticed toi after conceded goal most of Napoli players didn't panic and focus to playing more attacking attempts to equalized and i think Napoli has showed they have strong mentally because of their epic comeback and Osimhen might be deserved as man of the match because he scoring 1 goal and he also the creator of second goals which bringing Napoli get 3 points from this match and after this result Napoli was strong at first position on standings league with 6 points above Milan

Unay Emery as the new manager of Aston Villa will fight for his debut match today against Manchester United but this is hard match for Aston Villa because i am sure this team required adaptation for new tactic and for Manchester United 4 wins from 5 matches in all competitions it proven Ten Hag has successfully improved Manchester United performance especially after he bringing Manchester United to qualified on europa league by beat Sociedad and without doubt i will say Manchester United are going to win this match
Dark horses team Newcastle today will attempts to gets 4 winning streak from Southampton but it won't be easy because sometimes Southampton can playing well at their home ground even Arsenal cannot able to beat them at that time so this is big challenge for Newcastle whether they can able to showed their consistency and win the match or not but i personally highly doubt Newcastle will gets 3 points and even i was thinking the match will ended with draw result
