Well this can happen because if you look at City's previous match against Copenhagen there were several players who were reserved because they were comfortable enough and didn't need another win to qualify.
Even this match looks like it will still be the same especially when City will face Liverpool and after that it is clear that there must be more rest for the core players to be more fit. on the other hand I think Pep will also do some experiments against Dortmund because seeing the match against Copenhagen they have some new drafts that can be used as reserves when their initial scheme doesn't go well.

Surprises happened in this match and I'm pretty sure many people lost their bets in this match including myself personally losing mine.
Brighton had more than 70 per cent of possession but they were surprised by a good performance from Brentford on the counter-attack and Ivan Toney became one of the antagonists in this match thanks to his goal that managed to overthrow Brighton.
This is a loss because with this it is clear they will be knocked out of position this week.

The problem is not really in the selection of players in my opinion but they failed because of the injury storm that is currently affecting them because if the players brought by Juventus are in good form, it is clear that things like this can still be minimized and will not even happen.
At the moment it is difficult to be apart from the demands on Allegri who are great, indeed Allegri is also faced with his squad which is still difficult to compete considering that some players, especially for the midfield, cannot be played.

Currently we can only wait whether Lazio will be able to do much in the next 2 matches because it is certain that when one club loses the match the standings will change and Lazio are now faced with Udinese and Atalanta in the next 2 matches and of course this can It's a good momentum for the three clubs and in this case, in order to maintain the momentum, I think all three clubs (Lazio, Atalanta and Udinese) will play with full strength.

The match has now reached 90 minutes and will go into extra time but until now neither team has scored a goal and the score is still level and it is likely that this will happen until the end.
Rayo was more dominant in the chances but until now they still haven't been able to take advantage of that opportunity because even though there are many chances but only a few shots on target if you look at these 90 minutes.

Obviously Rayo Vallecano are better than Getafe, despite losing their last game. This match is a moment for them to be able to win again. Getafe come in the same form, they have 2 defeats in a row in their last 2 matches. This should be a comfortable win for Rayo Vallecano and restore the 3 points lost last week. Betting for the home win is indeed promising.

Barcelona's players must have realized where their weakness lies now and at what point they often make mistakes. Their back line is easily penetrated by opposing attackers, and up front they are always missing the moment to shoot directly or find the best position to shoot. They play with the ball so much that they forget the important thing, which is scoring goals. If we look at their previous matches, there are some opportunities that they always lose the right timing. I have no problem when they choose to look for gaps to create goals, but what they are doing now is often wasting chances.

They spent a lot of money, but haven't been able to play the players they brought in because some of them are injured. Even though they can play, their performance is still far from what is expected. Now the situation is complicated when they are in very bad shape. Always with negative results they get so many supporters they urge the Management to take immediate decisions to improve their performance. They were favorites at the start of the season, but now they are a team that always loses.

Brighton had a surprising start at the start of the league, but as time went on their performance began to decline, it's a form of unpreparedness for them to navigate this season in my opinion. When it comes to favourites, it's clear that Brighton have the upper hand, but I have my doubts about them now. Brentford is also actually not as good as Brighton, but with the advantage of playing at home, it will be a motivation for them to be able to achieve results in this match. And I'm also less interested in betting in this match. Maybe I'll just enjoy it with nothing at stake for me.

The Champions League is still very tough for them unlike in La Liga and it really feels like it. What makes it more difficult for them is that they have to lose several key players which causes many gaps for the opposing team to take advantage of. It is undeniable when their defense becomes weak because they are not strengthened by their main players. Also their midfield is not very creative so that gap is part of their weakness. The depth of their squad has not been evenly distributed so that's why. Xavi should be able to realize this in order to improve their overall strength.

Yes, it's natural when there are doubts when you see the record of away matches from Hoffenheim which is difficult to get maximum points. But this game it is clear they are the favorites because Schalke are no better than Hoffenheim did. Instead I see betting on a draw as riskier, I personally place Hoffenheim as the main favorite and bet on them to win this match. Yes, when talking about risk, there will always be risk, but I choose the smallest risk from what I have seen so far.


It is difficult to predict who will win in this match. Both teams are targeting the same result, namely victory. I don't think Union Berlin will be that easy to beat Borussia Dortmund, on the contrary Borussia Dortmund will also be difficult to get the most out of this match. Maybe a draw is a bet that will win if you look at the performance of these two teams. A home game for Union Berlin might be in their favour, but to be honest I haven't decided which team to bet on yet.

Leverkusen are still trying to improve their game after they sacked the coach and brought in Xabi Alonso. Xabi Alonso is in doubt a lot because he still doesn't have enough experience to coach a team that is currently in difficult circumstances that require him to boost team morale. It is doubtful Xabi Alonso has a fundamental reason, but we can not claim that Xabi will fail because of inexperience. Sometimes a new coach can show his abilities when he is underestimated, we saw the performance of Xabi in improving Leverkusen who were slumped.

This is just the beginning for Graham Potter to continue to improve his team in the game. It is quite satisfying indeed the change of coach that has been done by Chelsea so far because they have received positive results in a row even at a higher level, the Champions League. For now, I say that the strategies implemented by previous coaches tend to be monotonous and can be easily read by opponents. Because in terms of the composition of the players clearly nothing has changed but Graham Potter can do it well, it means that there is something wrong with what Tuchel is doing.

Now Barcelona's weakness is starting to show against Inter Milan in the Champions League. It is undeniable, losing some of the main names in the team is very important for stability on the field. It gives me the impression that the depth of the Barcelona squad is not evenly distributed and there will still be gaps if they don't play with the full squad. Real Madrid is a balanced opponent, you can even say they are better than them for now, especially with the absence of several players it is certain that this will be a tough match for Barcelona. Xavi had to rack his brain so as not to be wrong in applying the strategy in the El Clasico match later.

I think Real Madrid will continue to perform as usual and there will be no special strategy from Carlo Ancelotti, because indeed their coach on this one is not much and has never issued a surprising strategy. But of course there are special instructions for guarding some players who are dangerous for Real Madrid. Likewise with Barcelona, Xavi also must have anticipated several players who were dangerous to their defense. But Real Madrid have the advantage because on the pitch their attack creators have a lot of experience. Toni Kroos in the Champions League match he was very visionary when he passed the ball to Rudiger which led to a goal.

Don't forget Lazio is a very strong team in defense, it can only be seen from their statistics conceding 5 goals, also they are very productive in scoring goals, even though Udinese also have them. Moreover, this will be Lazio's home game that will make them even more excited to win in front of their own audience. They are one consistent team, I prefer a draw bet, my prediction is that it will most likely happen in this match.

As a Liverpudlian obviously I'm happy with this result but looking at the previous result when they won against Bournemouth by a landslide I was worried because after that they always became too stiff because they were too sure of their performance.
Klopp must anticipate the same incident as some time ago now especially they are still in a bad shape even though in the Champions League it looks like they are safe now.

Hopefully the big win against Ranger yesterday will be a good source of motivation for Liverpool because as a fan I don't really like their current condition, which is still very difficult to make a breakthrough, especially in the EPL.
City's dominance will definitely happen in this match and seeing from Liverpool's condition even though they don't like it but making a defensive strategy when facing City is clearly better and they have to take advantage of counter-attacks rather than having to compensate for City's open game which they will definitely win, especially with KDB who always acted as attacking general from midfield for City.

Actually I want to believe but with their condition and with the understanding of the Dortmund officials who are always the same as before, printing young players and selling actually this is no longer something strange for Dortmund.
They don't want to impose their will on this apart from the problem of salary actually it is a consequence when they want their squad to be good then their financial condition must be ready to be drained and they don't want to take that risk.

Indeed in this case the business is the most important and for Dortmund now even from the last few years it is clear their focus is only on being in the top 4 while scoring potential players for them then that is enough for dortmund but this makes the competition monotonous because with this it is clear Bayern are becoming a strong club and managed to dominate again and again.

As for Haaland, it's actually good to have a replacement but it's a shame we'll have to wait longer for Haller.

It's hard to expect Inter not to receive good results in the last 2 matches and they have to collect at least 2 wins against Bayern and Plzen is definitely not an easy job for Xavi.
For Plzen it can still be because they can be said to be the weakest club in this group but for Bayern who until now have never experienced a defeat this is clearly the most difficult thing.

Barcelona's chance now seems to be over and they have to return to the Europa League for the second time in 2 consecutive seasons.

You can actually say that this is a natural trait that humans have because basically everyone must have this trait but there are those who really show their dominance in greed and some can cover it up but this greed persists regardless of how they behave when they are outside. which is shown to others but in a more distant sense there must be a nature of greed in him.

Now actually how can we manage this for the better, Greed and jealousy will not go away forever and will remain in humans but it can be minimized by controlling ourselves, the problem is whether we can do it or not.

Gratitude is not a trivial thing, the fact that many people can't do it, it proves that being grateful is not an easy thing to do. Greed is a natural trait for humans, as well as gratitude, but if greed still dominates in us it will be difficult to make something balanced. It goes back to each of us, because only we can change it. It is difficult to do that because there is indeed greed in us, suppressing the greed in us is one way that we can be grateful. I hope I become one of those people who are good at being grateful.

And now Inter Milan was able to turn things around by scoring 2 goals in the second half. Goals in the 50th minute through Necolo Barella and in the 63rd minute through Lautaro Martinez and now Barcelona are under high pressure after being 1 goal down. I say controlling the game is not enough if they don't dare to shoot speculative kicks from outside the penalty area. It was something they had to try under these circumstances. The remaining time will feel fast for Barcelona because they have to chase a 1-goal deficit, while it will feel long for Inter Milan because they have to maintain their advantage until the final whistle is sounded. There are at least 15 more minutes for Barcelona to change everything.
