Honestly it's like Chelsea has been swinging around that 10th position for a long time, it's like the team has been switching back and forth in that position due to their inconsistency in their performance, I hope their well deserve win against Crystal Palace would motivate the team towards achieving better results in their subsequent matches though they would face a big challenge this weekend as they battle Man City at the Etihad stadium it would definitely going to be a very tough match, Chelsea would aim to avoid a defeat to keep them on track while Man City who is a title contender would also aim to win the match.
That's right, Chelsea are only around 10th place then in the next match they will play badly and fall out of the top 10 well, this situation has continued to occur in the last few months as you said inconsistency is the cause. So far we can't predict how Chelsea will end this season what's clear is that I don't think they can reach the top 5. Chelsea may lost some points next week as they have to play against some strong teams, based on the schedule in the remaining matches Chelsea will have to face more strong teams until the end of the season. |

Manchester City had the ball but Copenhagen tried to defend well. City found opportunities again in the first 10 minutes and the first goal came in the 11th minute. De Bruyne's return took City up a level. His harmony with Foden is perfect.
After the goal, Copenhagen's resistance will decrease and City will be able to get more opportunities. City wants to get an advantageous score from the first match and advance to the next round. Copenhagen had a disadvantage because their own league wasn't played, this became clear. It will be a smooth round of 16 pass for City.
Manchester City has just scored the 2nd goal, it seems they want to secure their position in the second leg. Manchester City controlled the match from all sides and I'm sure they will score 1 or 2 more goals. In another match, Real Madrid was still trying in the first half but unfortunately there was no goal. Leipzig really doesn't want to miss the opportunity when playing at home and so far both teams have played the same role, I wouldn't be surprised if this match ended in a draw and usually Real Madrid will win the match in the second leg. |

Girona were too bad against Real Madrid for a team competing for the league championship. But is this a big surprise? Not a big one to be honest.  Because basically there is a huge quality gap between these teams. When Real Madrid are in their best shape there aren't many number of teams that can stand in their way in the La Liga. Girona turn into a weak team for them in this case for example. This was what we watched there, a simple destruction. But I don't think it is a big deal for Girona. Finishing as 2nd would still be a huge success.  Of course it will be a big season for the Girona club to finish second and make it to the champoins league next season. For me I think the coach of Girona has really done well so far by guiding the team to this position they are right now in the league. Girona knew it from the start that winning the league will practically be impossible for them to achieve. But if they continue like this, they will win the league in the nearest future. They just have to continue building on their success this season. Yes at least Girona remains motivated to win the title even though the challenges are very difficult, after yesterday's defeat now Girona players realized that it was impossible for them to win the title  but if Laliga has a category with team the best progress then Girona deserves to be a winner. they jumped from the bottom to the top and no other team can do it in the last 10 years. Anyway, I am very sure Girona will play in the Champions League next season together with 3 other top teams, this will be an important experience for them in the history of the Girona club. |

Even though it is difficult to break into the top four, at least Manchester United has revived that hope. Being six points behind Tottenham can be said to be a bit difficult to overcome, but if the Red Devils' performance continues to improve then it is not impossible for United to take over. Apart from that, if we look at Manchester United's remaining schedule, it looks like the obstacles will be tougher to overcome, Erik Ten Hag must prepare his troops to overcome tough obstacles from strong teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
I have to say that with good performance from Manchester United it is not enough because they also have to expect Tottenham's bad performance whatever Manchester United's efforts will be in vain if Tottenham is in the same situation so to make it happen both teams must be in different performance, no other way. In goal productivity, Manchester United are far behind Tottenham, Tottenham with 15 goals differences and Manchester United 0 scored 33 goals conceded 33 goals that's why I say it's so difficult for Manchester United to pursue Tottengam. |

Perform well and they could not score a single goal? Take a look at those who scored for Bayern Leverkusen, they're fullbacks it shows how good they're this season. They have two more game to go so they can be able to break the record set up by Bayern Munich in Bundesliga League Competition.
Props to Xabi Alonso and all of his staffs at the club, they have all had joint efforts to see the club at this level. I'm certain they'll have no other option but to continue this way.
For Tuchel he should be sacked at the end of the season and Jose Mourinho shouldn't be given the chance to takeover. They're both same managers with same pattern.
Exactly, Leverkusen is unstoppable this season in 21 matches they are unbeaten and the Bundesliga still leaves 13 matches meanwhile Bayern Munich has been defeated 3 times so does Bayern Munich still have a chance to pursue? I do not think so. I agree with you that the possibility of Tuchel will be fired because it failed to compete with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga but if Bayern Munich can win the Champions League, Tuchel might be considered, Tuchel only had a chance in the Champions League to cover up his failure. |

Indeed, Manchester United's performance has appeared to have improved quite rapidly in the last few matches so this victory is quite natural for them to get and also on the other hand, Aston Villa's performance is decreasing at the moment so Manchester United can take advantage of this to be able to win.
This is quite an important victory for Manchester United to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings, even if Manchester United can continue to be consistent, I think it is not impossible that they can enter the top 4 positions.
I didn't say that was impossible for Manchester United to go up to the 4th position but it must be very difficult because the only team that can be pursued is Tottenham while Tottenham can now be said to be a consistent team even though they drew 2 times in the last 5 matches, they still continued to collect points. Indeed Manchester United only need 6 points to approach Tottenham but on the other hand Manchester United must wait for Tottenham to be defeated 2-3 times so is it possible that happened? while Tottenham so far is still consistent. |

This should be the case, it is not easy for a new coach to handle a team especially when the season is already underway to be able to improve performance, everyone has a process and time to put chemistry together so this is indeed a difficult job for Daniele De Rossi but what he has shown so far I think this is better than many people's expectations, so far I think Daniele De Rossi is quite successful.
For matches on the European stage, it might be a little more difficult because Daniele De Rossi is not a coach who has good experience on the European stage.
We understand that the owner of AS Roma might give De Rossi's target to bring Roma in the 5th position and Roma still has the opportunity to get it but for the European League we don't know at least we have to give him one chance to see his abilities. This week Roma will play in the European League against Feyenoord and Feyenoord is not an easy opponent especially Roma playing away, previously Feyenoord played in the Champions League but were eliminated earlier so actually they are at a different level. |

Stanley Nwabali did a great job in keeping the scoreline close. Nigeria's attack just didn't come together today, partly thanks to Ivory Coast's defence. Nigeria had just 1 shot on target, their only goal coming from their defender. Congrats the Ivory Coast for winning AFCON 2023. Ivory Coast improved as the tournament went by as they started with a few hiccups including losing to Nigeria early on but by the time it came to the finals, they played like Champions.
It seems that Ivory Coast have learned the cause of their first defeat in the group phase to Nigeria so that when they faced the same team in the final they were more alert and implemented a more accurate strategy, and Nigeria's victory in the group phase looks like luck because in fact they also experienced problems in penetrated the Ivory Coast defense because in this match there was only one shot on target so it was the same as the final match this time. Ivory Coast's defense was the deciding factor that made them succeed in beating Nigeria because they managed to play better in this match and they deserved this title. I didn't watch this match and I was really surprised to see the Ivory Coast as the champion this year we know that most of us support Nigeria as the winner including me but what happened was the opposite. I just checked statistics and it was really impressive for Ivory Coast they can control the match from all sides and I didn't expect Nigeria to play that bad by only having one shot on target. Luckily I didn't bet in this match, because maybe I would be trapped by betting on Nigeria, I suspect you also favor Nigeria right? |

I agree with you. When Real Madrid are at their best, no team in La Liga has the ability to stop Madrid. It is true that Girona have been in very good form this season. The team was consistently playing well. But their performance against Madrid was very poor. Madrid won by dominating both matches.
I agree with you, that no one can stop Real Madrid when playing with the main squad although Girona is said to be one of the strongest teams in Laliga at this time, in this match they could not do anything and we can confirm that Real Madrid will win the title this season while Girona will end up as runner up, not bad that is their best achievement compared to other popular teams in the Spain League. what makes me wonder how Girona competes in the Champions League next season, are they worthy of being at that level? ? |

We must admit that Manchester United managed to reverse the negative trends and played again as a top club should. On the one hand a bit sorry for Aston Villa, because for the first time in many years they have a chance to compete for first place in the EPL, but on the other hand we must admit that Manchester United looked more interesting and created more chances, which they were able to realize. Aston Villa could have clung to a draw, but Watkins' shot from a couple of meters was deflected by Onana. In general, a legitimate victory for Manchester United, which continues to gradually come out of the crisis.
Right, this is the 2nd match between Manchester United v Aston Villa and Manchester United won 2 matches with one goal difference so actually their victory today is not too surprising and we consider Manchester United to understand how Aston Villa played. Overall Manchester United are in a positive trend with 3 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat well now we will see how they maintain it if Manchester United can maintain it then maybe they can replace Aston Villa in the 5th position at the same time playing in the European League next season. |

Leverkusen seemed to be on another level this time in beating Bayern Munich, and what was unique was that most of the goals scored by Leverkusen were from their defenders. And I think their lineup is also quite unique. Bayern Munich is certainly very speechless, they weren't even able to score a single goal. And what's more, being slaughtered by 3 goals, this will definitely really make Bayern Munich very disappointed and could possibly reduce their motivation. even though soon they will visit UCL. I hope this result will not affect the course of their match at UCL.
I think almost all of us see Leverkusen's ability in this match and I agree this time Leverkusen is at a different level it doesn't make sense for me Leverkusen can defeat Bayern Munich easily even Bayern Munich without a goal, this is something strange right? Leverkusen is currently on Fire and they are very confident to win the title this season, the question is, whether Bayern Munich can catch up? while Leverkusen leads with 5 points. Indeed, Bayern Munich still has the opportunity to pursue or take over but it requires more effort and waiting for Leverkusen to be defeated 2 times. |

Not sure what you mean about De Rossi and Mourinho because yes, I think Mourinho is an experienced coach and De Rossi is not. Therefore, at least AS Roma also only made De Rossi a temporary coach for AS Roma until the end of this season, as evidenced by the contract that has been agreed upon. So yes, I think appointing De Rossi to replace Mourinho was definitely a gamble that AS Roma made. Because after all, De Rossi is a coach who has no experience and yes, although De Rossi has previously been the head coach of the SPAL team but in fact De Rossi also failed there. Therefore, due to the lack of experience, of course there is still no good result guarantee about De Rossi becoming the head coach of AS Roma.
Experience is really needed to train a team as big as AS Roma because you need a coach who can determine the strategy to use in each match and can bring AS Roma to victory. So far, De Rossi doesn't have good experience, and this will be very dangerous for AS Roma because its position is in the top 6 at the top of the standings. Hopefully, AS Roma will not make fatal mistakes that could make it difficult for AS Roma to win in the next match. I think almost all the coaches who have handled AS Roma have sufficient experience but is not able to provide optimal results, but I know there are other reasons why they are having difficulty building strength within the Roma squad the reason is that management cannot bring in the players the coach wants because of financial problems so they just play with the existing squad. If the coach has a budget to bring in the player I think the results will be different because experience will not be able to compete without the support of the right players. |

Barca took the lead with Lamine Yamal. They were scoring the second goal with Lewandowski, but the defense cleared the ball and on that return, they conceded a goal in the next attack. Even though the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys stadium is full to the brim, the ambiance is very bad. Fans cannot create pressure on the opposing team and cannot support their own team sufficiently. Barca definitely needs to win this match, but they can't do much to score goals so far.
The game ended 3-3, with pellestri having an excellent game and Barcelona once again struggling to win a game in la Liga; the result is once that makes Real Madrid happy; as they get to extend their lead at the top of the league standings I highlight Granada who played well in this match, because they are trying to get out of the relegation zone in the last 2 matches Granada has collected 2 points not bad as their attempt to get closer to the competitors. Granada needs 7 points or more to get out of the relegation zone do you think they can do it in their remaining games? I calculate that Granada has 7 home matches which must be changed into points and this is not an easy task, but that could have been realized if Granada uses other methods by setting the results of the match, maybe you understand what I mean. |

Now it is known that Manchester United can win against Aston Villa and it is a fact that Manchester United was living up to expectations. They had a lot of chances, created a lot of attacks with a decent level of creativity and I have to say that it was one of the better games they played this season. Both teams are struggling in delivering consistent results, but this was a solid performance and although Aston Villa was pushing towards the end of the game, Manchester United had a response for them.
Overall it is true that Manchester United played well especially since they are playing away and this is their 3rd win in a row, I see Manchester United playing more consistently lately with more positive results. is Ten Hag under pressure to bring Manchester United to finish in the top 5? we know Manchester United still has a chance to do it and they have already started it, but Manchester United can do it if they can play consistently like this. Problems will come when Manchester United have to fight strong teams towards the end of the season at least 5 strong teams waiting for them in the upcoming match. |

Qatar have really surprised me, I know the won 2019 AFC Asian Cup but coming to the world cup the never won any single match in 2022 world cup which was hosted by them and now their performance comes incredible in this AFC Asian Cup 2023, and Qatar is the only one that have unbeaten record among the two of them that makes it to the final, Jordan even come out in best third while Qatar comes out first in the table. Jordan has a record to make since this is their first time that they make it to the final, they have an opportunity to lift the trophy, before I was supporting Qatar but since they have won it before I will like Jordan to make a history by winning the trophy, I have much confidence for them because their performance recently have improved and I know that is what brought them to this stage.
Both teams are equally impressive but I think Qatar has a greater chance of winning because of playing at home Jordan has a strong defense while Qatar has a great attacker well both teams have advantages but we don't know where luck is in favor. Based on FIFA ranking, Qatar has better points but based on Head to Head in 2024 Jordan defeated Qatar in a friendly match well will Jordan beat Qatar again today? I'm not sure because the situation is different, what is clear is that I believe the two teams will score each other. |

You're right LOL. I think it was a typing error because Empoli and Everton have almost similar prepositions. Sorry. This bad result brought Salernitana closer to the brink of relegation. Currently they are 6 points behind the safe zone. And with their current form and the number of games remaining I think we can bet that Salernitana will be relegated for sure. Only a miracle made them get out of the relegation zone. I can only hope the best for Salernitana because it seems like they no longer have hope  I agree with you that Salanitana has no chance to get out of degradation even if there is it must be very low, Salernitana is still continuing the bad trend of their last few games without wins so there is nothing to be relied upon from them. Cagliari and Verona are still struggling to get out because only 1 point adrift of the safe zone we cannot confirm whether the two teams are safe or will be degraded because there are still 15 matches left, I personally see Verona still have a chance but it takes more effort to get it. |

Everton in the 18th place beating Manchester city in the 2nd place in the EPL table will or would be a miracle, and I even don't see the possibility that the game will end in a draw, Manchester city have been playing a very good game of recent, and there is no way I would expect that they would lose to Everton, and no way as well I would expect that the same also end in a draw.
I agree with you. I think it would be a miracle if Everton beat Manchester City. Because Kevin De Bruyne is back from injury. Haaland is starting to come back. And Phil Foden has been very good in recent weeks. Everything favors Manchester City. But Everton are not an easy opponent. They're 18th in the league. But we must not forget that this season they received a 10-point deduction for not complying with the rules of financial sustainability. In fact, they should be 12th in the league right now. They are 18th in the league. But this perspective can mislead us. I don't hesitate to Manchester City in this match I'm sure they won for several reasons, Manchester City's first reason wanted to take over the standings immediately because with this win Manchester City will have 52 points or 1 point above Liverpool I'm sure Manchester City will not miss this opportunity. Another reason for next week Manchester City will play in the Champions League so they have to secure the Premier League first then concentrate on the Champions League, anyway today Manchester City will try to play as much as possible. |

Expect a battle between Real and Girona tonight... I hope there will be a lot of goals and corners... It should really be a battle, because the winner will take the first place in the standings... If Real wins, the gap will be five points and it will probably be impossible to catch up... Girona have a very difficult task today...
This is the match we are waiting for the most we will see who is at the top of the standings after this fight because both teams are only 2 points adrift many people predict Real Madrid will win because of playing at home but for me it's not easy to predict because both teams have a mainstay player who is on the top score list. Based on statistics the two teams have never lost in the last 5 matches this means that the two teams are ready in this fight and I agree with you there will be many goals and corner kicks. |

Today Napoli have to prove that they are one of the strongest teams in Serie A and cannot continue to suffer less than convincing results in every match. Napoli's match against Verona will last in about 30 minutes and I think playing at home could be a very promising result for Napoli to secure an additional 3 points and at the same time to overtake Fiorentina.
This season comes with different spirits, I've watch Napoli struggling to win matches. There's no opponents capable of stopping Napoli from exploring to top spots. I'm no longer afraid to watch Napoli game, they're the best when it comes to handling the essential opponents. Napoli headcoach, Walter Mazzarri is doing a good job for his new team, atleast we get to watch the top performance of the club. Napoli bouncing back to balance shape step by step, and it takes only a heavy duty to be triggered to witnessed such result. Are you talking about Napoli last season? because from what we see Napoli have not shown significant progress in the last 5 matches Napoli only won 2 times and there is nothing we can be proud of from this achievement, even I was a little doubtful Napoli got a ticket to the European League next season. I saw Napoli like losing many things I don't know to call it what is clear overall their performance has decreased by more than 50% even though they played with the same squad as last season there were only a few changes in the defense. |

Manchester City's performance was bad because some of their key players were absent at the start of the season. That is why they were performing badly, so now that all their key players are back, their performance is very good, and I'm thinking Manchester City will do the same as they did last season in the Premier League because last season Manchester City were unbeatable, which I think will still happen this season any moment from now.
You are right, in fact we doubt Manchester City can compete for the champion candidates this season but Manchester City can prove its ability after playing with a complete squad and this week Manchester City will be at the top of the standings after defeating Everton on February 18. If Manchester City keep playing with the current squad then they can win again this season, the only main competitor for Manchester City is Liverpool while Liverpool lost in the last fight, Manchester City can take advantage of it. |
