A good start from Milan but we will see whether they can be consistent at the same time. They are one of the top teams with most amount of transfers this summer. These transfers should show their effect on the team during the season of course. This must mean that Milan really want to be more competitive this time.

Giroud is still impressive. He had a great start with a goal and an assist. I have been doubting his performance for this season but this was like an answer to me. However it is still early of course. Milan should be able to get efficiency from their attackers as much as possible.

I think Tottenham have made a good start to the season. Despite losing Kane they are still able to stay quite productive. Collecting 4 points in 2 games is a good work in my opinion. Especially their winning against Manchester United was really unexpected for me honestly. Because I thought Manchester United wouldn't lose.

But Manchester United had serious problems on scoring goals despite having so many goal attempts. Next time Tottenham are playing against Bournemouth away. I think this is a comfortable game for them. I know they drew with Brentford but Bournemouth are a much weaker opponent.

Daniel Peretz is officially about to sign for Bayern Munich. He is a young goalkeeper playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. He has been one of the players who people started to talk about recently. He is said to be a promising goalkeeper. He is only 23 years old so he is open to develop his skills much more in years.

If he really has that much potential as it is said then this can be considered a great transfer for Bayern Munich. However the question is: Will he be able to satisfy the expectations in this season? Because Bayern Munich have lost Sommer so they need a reliable goalkeeper.

Villarreal seem not ready for the new season yet. First the loss against Betis home and after that they had difficulties in beating Mallorca away comfortably. This can be an opportunity for Barcelona to beat them away in their next fixture. Barcelona have already had a superiority to Villarreal in this stadium in the recent years.

I think they will keep up this superiority by this game as well. But maybe it would be a win by one goal. Because Barcelona also don't seem very good at winning in a comfortable way. They just dominate in statistics. But as long as they continue a winning streak they can get better.

I don't know whether Inter really need another striker right now. Therefore they might not want to sign back Alexis Sanchez. Because the number of alternatives will be a lot and this can cause some unhappiness among the attacking players maybe. Because there is no way each one of them can have a good amount of playing time.

I'm saying that although Inter are playing with two forwards on the front. If they didn't bring Arnautovic as well then it would have still been logical to sign Alexis Sanchez. But now I don't think there is any transfer need left for this area.

Havertz might need some more time yeah. But it was the first game of the season so maybe he hasn't built up a strong relationship with his teammates yet. But at least Arteta has put him in a nice position. He isn't a natural striker but Chelsea were preferring him there most of the time. That was also a reason for his underperforming.

Now he is most probably going to be used by Arteta as a winger and attacking midfielder mostly. In time I hope to see better performances from Havertz. His rating in the first game wasn't bad though but of course he would be expected to do much better in general of the season.

I feel like there is a good connection between Napoli players and Rudi Garcia already. Because we saw really positive things there in the game against Frosinone. I know that they didn't play against a very challenging opponent of course. Frosinone are one of the new teams around here this season.

However I can't still overlook the game plan of Napoli. They seemed determined to destroy their opponent and managed to stay in good shape at defending at the same time. Osimhen is the same as the previous season too as it seems. If they keep this up in many more games they should be able to have a long title run again.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised either if Real Madrid get even more favourite. The game they play is much better than Barcelona now in the end. Dominance in a game doesn't matter as long as you are struggling to win games comfortably against much weaker opponents.

But I don't want to be prejudiced for now. We need to see many more weeks to have a better knowledge of the teams. But I hope Real Madrid don't start a bad run like they had in the previous season which can give Barcelona a big advantage again.

Verratti isn't wanted by PSG in the squad anymore. There is a small time period left for European teams to sign him though. However PSG should still be comfortable that they can find a team for him from Saudi Arabia. You know that Saudi Arabian teams are signing everyone these days. Why wouldn't Verratti be one of them?

I don't think the player will turn them down either while he can't find a European team for himself and he can earn much more money in Saudi Arabia. I think he will also join the players going there soon.

Arsenal are going to be playing the last game of the week. They are playing away against Crystal Palace. Both sides started the season with a win. But clearly Arsenal are highly favoured to win this game. It is the beginning of the season maybe but Arsenal still seem decent now. After the recent transfers they have got stronger.

However I don't think Arsenal can win by a big goal gap. Even in the home game against Nottingham they couldn't do that. They might need some more time to have a better chemistry and start getting easier wins. Arteta has a solid system working for the team so I hope we can see them in a title race once again.

The odds for the championship is like this now:

Real Madrid : 1.75   Barcelona : 2.80

I'm wondering whether this time Real Madrid will be the dominating team in the league. However I remember another thing that Barcelona couldn't start the previous season much better than this either. If they manage to improve their performance more like in that season then we can still see a lovely competition between these two teams.

Maybe Leipzig couldn't make a good start but it was a tough away game for them against Leverkusen of course. However the next fixture is against Stuttgart which started the season pretty strongly. Stuttgart demolished Bochum by 5-0 you know. But the game is still going to be in Leipzig's home which should be a good advantage.

I can see from the head-to-head game statistics that every time Leipzig host Stuttgart they managed to beat them. I think another example will happen. Leipzig have 1.53 odds for the win so I think it is worth adding into a parlay.

It is still early to say it maybe but Juventus might really be back to their old performance. The first half against Udinese was really impressive. That 3-0 lead and keeping the score to the end was an indicator of some progress. Udinese aren't a very easy opponent to beat normally in the end. But being consistent will be the key thing of course.

Vlahovic also started the season great. He scored a goal and made an assist too. Last season wasn't very ideal for him as he was quite unproductive. Maybe this start could be a good sign for this season. They were nearly selling him too you know.

It was a pretty bad result for Chelsea.    I thought this would be their first win of the season but they got a big loss. Even after West Ham got a red card they still scored another goal against Chelsea. When you look at the statistics of the game Chelsea seem very superior to their opponent. But the result doesn't say the same thing.

Maybe the turning point of the game was the penalty missed by Enzo Fernandez. Because if he scored the penalty Chelsea were going to get 2-1 ahead. After capturing the psychological superiority too they could have won this game.

Dortmund won on the first week maybe but I didn't like their overall performance. They were able to find the winning goal quite late as well. But I don't want to judge them harshly as it is only the first week. Teams sometimes need some time to reach their expected performance. It is still three points for them here already.

But if Bayern Munich have a consistent season after the addition of Kane it is just very difficult for any other team to compete with them for the league title until the end. Dortmund might not get that lucky this time in short. However it is still early so let's see.

Barcelona were of course the dominant side against Cadiz but they struggled to open the score gap more for a long time. If it weren't for the second goal came then maybe Cadiz would have even found a shocking goal unexpectedly. By the way Lewandowski couldn't score any goal yet so I hope he adapts to new season quickly.

Betis - Atletico Madrid is still going on 0-0 and Atletico Madrid are playing terrible now. They only have 2 shots in the whole game so far. There isn't even a single shot on target for both sides. The game is quite boring to me so I hope it gets better in the coming minutes of the second half.

They say that PSG have agreed with Frankfurt for Kolo Muani. But I don't think PSG are interested in another striker signing now. They have already brough Goncalo Ramos to the team. Besides they still have Mbappe as well. In this situation I don't believe they would make more additions to the attacking line. The new line will need to adapt to playing together.

It looks like Kolo Muani won't be leaving his team this summer as well. His market value is 80 million euros and I can't imagine how much Frankfurt would demand for him. He is a really decent striker who doesn't only score goals. He makes a significant contribution with many assists too.

Newcastle just looked for counter-attacks and tried to steal one point by a defensive game. Maybe they could have managed to do that with that game plan as well. Because it ended by only 1-0. Manchester City wasted so many goal opportunities. Especially Haaland wasted numerous opportunities. He wasn't on one of his good days I'm afraid.

Newcastle could have played bolder than this maybe but then they were going to take much bigger risks at the same time. I don't know whether they could have managed to handle that. But even against this defensive game  Manchester City were still having many dangerous attacks. So maybe taking that risk would be a disaster in terms of final score.

You know Inter were looking for a striker after dropping their interest in Lukaku. They brought Arnautovic on loan a few days ago. He wasn't in the starting lineup of course but he still made an impact by making an assist a short time after being subbed in. He is actually a quite old player so I had doubts about him. But it looks like his experience still helps him quite much.

Lautaro Martinez is really such a lovely player that he started the season with 2 goals. I think it is undisputed that he is the most valuable player for the team. I mean he is like that in market value as well but I'm saying his value in terms of effort. Let's see how consistent Inter will be this time while they are favoured for the title the most.

PSG are having a big problem without Mbappe for now. He didn't start the game from the first minute and PSG weren't very effective in that time period. There was a statistical dominance but it is normal of course. The most important thing is to convert these attacks into goals. The second half was a little better for PSG.

But it was thanks to Mbappe of course. He entered the game and it took him only ten minutes to score a goal to get ahead. After that I was pretty confident about PSG to win. But Toulouse scored a shocking equalizer in the last minutes. It is another draw for PSG as a result. I bet on them but they were really disappointing.
