Marseille is still unbeaten at home in this season in all competitions (90 minutes/normal time).
They only lost once in a penalty shootout against Panathinaikos back in August 2023 - Champions League Qualifying R3.

With this record, Marseille will be heavily favored by the bettors despite both of the teams performance.
In reality, Shakhtar players should be more fit in stamina than Marseille players, because the Ukraine Premier League was in a break since Dec last year.
If I have to bet on this match, I will pick Shakhtar with asian handicap.

Marseille have finally decided to sack Gennaro Gattuso after the poor results they got in the league for six weeks in a row. Jean-Louis Gasset has been named as their new manager.  

Jean-Louis Gasset was Ivory Coast's manager before this job. Ivory Coast won the last AFCON title with him as well. After a great success his name must have come one step forward. He has a history with managing French teams before as well so maybe his period with Marseille would be better than Gattuso at least. Marseille really ned to be saved after dropping down to the ninth position in the standings.  

Today I decided to check the quotes for the title (in the hope that they are still better than a bank deposit, haha, just kidding):

Paris Saint Germain 1.01

Brest 49.98
As Monaco Fc 79.38
Lille 98.98
Nice 98.98

they are already much worse. Although there are 3 months left until the end of the championship, and PSG will become the official champion approximately 5-6 rounds before the end. If you think about it from this point of view, 1% for two months is very good, but in fact few people are interested.
The fight for the two remaining spots in the Champions League between four teams looks much more interesting. Brest is a logical favorite, but for some reason Monaco is rated better than Nice and Lille, which in my opinion is simply a reflection of the “strength” of the brand and not the real strength of the game.

If you look at how Arsenal played the last games against strong teams away, like Liverpool, PSV or Aston Villa, they could not win any of these matches. And Porto can undoubtedly be called a home team, so I don’t expect a major victory for Arsenal in this match, and I’m also not sure that Arsenal will be able to beat Porto.
In the match between Barcelona and Napoli, I would give preference to Xavi’s team, because Napoli were unable to show almost anything meaningful in the last games.

I think Arsenal will struggle to beat FC Porto at the stadium of Estadio do Dragao today even though the players of Arsenal are currently looking to be in their best form. The defense of FC Porto are great when they are playing at their home stadium but their offense and ability to score goals are not that ideal this season and I guess this 1st leg match might ends up with a draw between these two teams.

Take care when you bet on this kind of game, they are a fucking lottery man, we think we know everything about football but in this tournament you never know what to expect, the weak teams are making a lot of surprises in the recent years, and some big teams tremble when they play.

Shaktar can take out Marseille for example.

For me the most unknown result of this journey is gonna be the travel of Betis into Zagreb, is gonna be a very difficult one for the spaniard team, Dinamo is a strong and good team and more in their home, they already beaten big teams in the past in otehr european competitions, so maybe we can see a big shock with Betis out of the competition.

Inter vs Atletico Madrid
   1     -        0

Look how Inter really didn't give any chance for Atletico Madrid to attack.

Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's  defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.

For this season I don't doubt Real Madrid I'm sure they will win the title and there are no competitors who can disturb them, initially Laliga had Girona as the main competitor but now we can see that Girona's performance is getting worse so they are not worthy of competitors. The same thing with Barcelona who is still far behind  and they have no way to pursue Real Madrid. Anyway Laliga is no longer interesting towards the end of the season because we already know who is the champion,

1 goal lead is not enough for Dortmund to secure the win today. They have to score more if they want to qualify. Am saying this because i still see more pressing from their opponents and care is not taken we might see an equalising goal from PSV.

Although i have placed my bet on Dortmund to win but with multiple of goals of 3. So i am still expecting to see more goals, each specifically from both teams.

They are in 3rd place with a difference of 4 points from the current leaders, Liverpool and they are only 2 points away from Arsenal who are now in second place. However, you also need to remember that they still have 1 match that has not been played in Week 18 and that match will be played today against Brentford.

It was very unfortunate that Milan got a defeat against a small team like Monza. Milan missed the chance to overtake Juventus in the second place.

We should keep our hopes alive because the best team comes with competitive strength and excellent results, just keep in mind that Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are actively in the EPL title race. The positions of these elite teams doesn't matter because it keeps fluctuating and bringing in solid differences. Manchester City coming in for everything valuable in the English Premier League this season. They just have to observe and aim for the big points and inother to do that, there are points and tough games that must be won.

I think the big funds bought the coins at the last bottom and now have a big profit. It turns out they have already made x3 in a year. And now these funds need to gradually sell their coins. I want to be wrong, but there is a reason why there was a good rise on etf news.

As I said some several posts ago here that Bayern should not be relied to be betting on them as all the psychological pressure is on them and they showed tonight that they could not bear such a pressure and I also conclude that in here they completely lost any single glimpse of hope that they may had to win the Bundesliga this year,they simply have not been consistent.

Leverkussen needs just to not be self complacent and I am pretty sure with their performance they are going to have an easy win of the Bundesliga title during this year,they just need to not underestimate any remaining games until the end of the season.

Is it because of the fact that most of their players are out injured cause Carlo Ancelloti is using the formation he used when they played Leipzig in the champions league and honestly it's not doing well for him.

Maybe even further.
The result was a draw at home and even almost lost, fortunately there was a goal at the end of the match which saved Napoli from defeat in front of their own supporters.

This is a fair result because Napoli's performance was not that good in this match and it is clear that there is no good progress in terms of performance in the Napoli team and I doubt that they can finish in the European zone.

A simple and pragmatic win for Leverkussen makes them 8 points ahead Bayern Munchen,of course with a game more but it shows that this year it won't be easy at all for Munchen to recover and win the title like they usually have done when they were fighting against Dortmund and Leipzig which are well known for screwing up and being very consistent teams.

I think now since Munchen knows this,some surprise results may also happen to them because they will bearing a huge psychological pressure as they see Leverkussen quite ahead now so I would refrain from betting and choosing them in my tickets.

As we have often seen with teams that make surprises like Girona did in La Liga this season and it is very likely that moments like this season will not be repeated and even Leicester, who won the Premier League at that time, will not be able to maintain their performance in the following season.
That's only natural and so far what Girona has done is quite extraordinary, I'm sure their target to win La Liga is not even in their minds, this is very significant and quite a small percentage and I can even say it won't be possible.
