Now what to say about Chelsea? because of the fact that they really can't be relied on as a team this season. I'm not surprised by this result, because from the start Chelsea was not favored and it was only hope for them to make a surprise in the match. An aggregate of 2 goals is difficult for them in the second leg later. But like what they did with Borussia Dortmund, so I still give them a bit of hope.
The problem is if we should realize that dortmund was not real madrid. Most bundesliga clubs have inconsistent performance. Real madrid is always consistently playing so well in any season of UCL. That being said that if real madrid is the strongest candidate to win UCL again this year. You shall put differentiate between dortmund and real madrid. Chelsea is still having a chance but it's even smaller caused by it was facing king of UCL. Real madrid has a very good mentality and it doesn't even matter where the team will be playing in the future. Away or home, real madrid is always having a solution to beat its opponent. Remember that last year chelsea was losing against real madrid. This time real madrid will able to beat chelsea for the second time in a row. It's a shame for lampard who has become a manager for chelsea. This club has the worst attacking line in EPL. Don't you aware of that? chelsea has made zero goals under three coaches. That being said that if the performance of the club is terrible. I'm very upset to see the gameplay of chelsea. Real madrid may able to dominate the second leg in stamford bridge. King of comeback, it's another name of real madrid. |

Kompany now leads a shortlist to coach Tottenham.
Actually would be interesting to see how it goes. I'd give him about 30% to clinch top-4 in the 1st season. Way too inexperienced as a coach, even if well-respected by everyone in EPL
It seems that totenham was seeing the result from the championship league. As far as i know that burnley is successfully staying in the first place right now with 26 wins, 12 draw and 2 losses. The current position of burnley in the championship league has been impressing totenham's owner. I do agree that vincent still lacks experience in managing a big club but why not? Totenham can sack him if vincent will not able to bring the club into a good performance. I hope that if kompany will not try to leave burnley. Burnley will enter EPL next season. Kompany can still stay at burnley for the next season yet the salary might become the main consideration for him to leave burnley and move to the totenham. There are so many problems in totenham that will not able to be fixed by kompany itself. The chairman of totenham is also main problem for the club. Too many interfere by him. |

After ensuring victory in the champions league, now manchester city will focus again on the EPL match this week and the opponent will be Leicester. We know Leicester are currently in the relegation zone and therefore they have just brought in new coach Dean Smith. Changing the coach to avoid relegation has become a new trend right now since some clubs were able to perform so well under the new coach but it seems like that will not be applicable for chelsea which still continues to get bad result in EPL. I doubt if dean smith will able to give a big impact on the performance of leicester city. Dean smith is a very bad coach in my opinion. He has been sacked by norwich city last year due to the facing some loses in row in championship league. Dean Smith has been sacked as Norwich City head coach after a run of just three wins in 13 Championship matches. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64017762This match will also make Dean Smith's debut as Leicester coach and Leicester hope Dean Smith can bring Leicester to a safer position for the rest of the season so they won't be relegated next season. However, it seems that Leicester's first win will vanish because the opponent is Manchester City, which is currently targeting full points to catch up with Arsenal.
I doubt if leicester city will get a good result in the upcoming match against manchester city. City has a very good mentality after it was winning with huge scores against bayern. The chance is zero for leicester. |

The match between napoli vs ac milan is very difficult to predict. According to the previous meeting ac milan was able to be absolutely dominated the match aginst napoli. There are some problems that will be faced by ac milan in the upcoming matches. - napoli already confirmed if it will be playing against ac milan without osimhen. Since osimhen was the top scorer of serie a and that is giving a very big impact on napoli. As has been reported by La Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com), the Nigerian striker was visibly upset when it was confirmed that he is not fit enough to be named in the Champions League squad for the quarter-final first leg against Milan. Spalletti is having self confidence to win the game against ac milan in the first leg even though napoli will be played without osimhen. That's very sad to say that napoli didn't have a capable striker for was able to do the same performance as osimhen. That was decreasing the public's confidence in the napoli. - The defensive line of napoli has become the main concern. I saw that there have been many blunders by napoli's defenders in the previous meetings. I hope that will be solved asap |

Tonight is time for revenge for Napoli who was beaten really badly in Serie A by Milan at their home 0-4.I think things will be totally different tonight and most likely Napoli will win this game setting the foot ready to qualify further in the Champions League.Another reason for thinking so is the fact that Napoli has been behaving much better in the Champions where they have won by dominating their opponents and with a lots of goals scored,much different for Milan who were defending big time against Tottenham in their final game in the Champions so far.The odd is also good at over 2.5 which for Napoli I think is a bit exaggerated because Napoli is dominating the Serie A and both teams come from there.
Osimhen is not included in the line up against milan. I think that he will not able to play against milan due to his injury. It's a big loss for napoli to let him play in the qualification international competition. He was getting injured and napoli's hope become even less than when osimhen played the game. The domination of napoli in serie a can't be the right benchmark to call that if napoli will be winning the match against ac milan. Im sure you have seen the last meetings between napoli vs ac milan. Ac milan was destroying napoli. It's also napoli's fault they didn't even wanna keep osimhen for the most important match like this. I can even imagine if napoli was disallowing him to participate with his international club. Osimhen will able to fully perform against ac milan which will help napoli to win against ac milan. I hope that spalletti's players will be learning from the previous matches about some mistakes and blunders that already made before. |

Inter Milan is not my favorite team at all no matter how they get the points to be at the top of the table in fact, they have poor performance in any game they have and they mostly can't even have a complete build-up in-game and mostly they try to have defensive playing style they seriously have problems in finishing attacking line.
Lens was able beating PSG 3-1 in the previous meetings. I think that lens will try to do the same again and cut the gap to three points. PSG in a very difficult situation right now. Galtier is confused about what must be done by him to make the club performs even better. Since neymar has gone and PSG was not able to perform so well with its trio. If PSG will be losing again to the lens and it will be a disaster for galtier. Galtier will have no chance anymore to be a coach for PSG next season. This will become a big gamble for galtier considering lens was in the second position. Lens will able to take PSG's spot anytime if PSG keeps performing inconsistently like that. I guess that if in the last match messi has become savior for PSG against nice while PSG loses against lyon. It seems like the performance from PSG is not as good as people think since PSG can only rely on the messi. Galtier has been losing his direction about what he shall do next. Messi can only try to make sure if PSG will able to get a trophy at the end of season and messi will be moving from there. |

I think Inter Milan deserves to win against Benfica. Inter Milan can play more effectively, they know how to score although they don't play very offensively. If we look at the stats, Benfica dominated the match but they failed to score. In this match, we must appreciate Inter defense, they already performed very well. Inter midfielders also play quite well, they can't win the ball possessions but they can make enough chances for shoot attempts. Anyway, it is a good result for Inter, they got goals from the away match. I think they will win again when they play at home in the 2nd leg.
 A bit surprised to see how difficult benfica is to attack intermilan. I meant to look at the statistic. Intermilan was losing its dominance against benfica but it was able scoring 2-0. The quality between intermilan and benfica is different. benfica was playing so badly in the last night against intermilan. It seems like the bad trend still continues until the second leg where benfica will be playing away against intermilan. I think that this gonna be a disaster for benfica since it was losing big aggregates and playing away will make its team get so much pressure. Benfica feels very unfamilar with the defensive strategy that is used by intermilan. That was benfica some difficulties. Benfica got some golden chances but the problems is the lack of control of the ball making the shots became inaccurate. Simeone inzaghi is very satisfied with the result achieved by intermilan. Intermilan has been bringing the positive trends into the sansiro. The chance for intermilan to win in the second leg is very high after seeing how good intermilan was playing against benfica. Simeone may not use an offensive strategy against benfica in san siro. he may still try to use same strategy again. |

Leverkusen vs U.S Gilloise could see some good goals I'm curious to see what will happen in this match between two in-form teams. Leverkusen has been playing very well lately and will want to complement this good play with at least one trophy this season. It won't be an easy match for them and their opponent has eliminated good teams. I expect Leverkusen to win this match no matter what. They have the advantage of playing at home and they are a team that has no problems in finding goals.
All in for leverkusen. It was getting win streak in bundesliga. I see no problem for leverkusen to beat gilloise. The gap is too big for gilloise to win against leverkusen. After leverkusen coached by xabi alonso. There are so many improvements happened with the club. It was also rarely losing in the domestic league. Leverkusen just like doing everything perfectly under xabi alonso. I would not be surprised if leverkusen will able to beat gilloise easily without any problem. Since his successful to bring back leverkusen from the relegation zone and so many clubs are also interesting to take him as a new coach included chelsea as well.  Bookies were favoring leverkusen. The club has an incredible performance combined with the next match will be happening in the bay arena as leverkusenn's home. That will be boosting the morality of the players to beat gilloise easily. I wonder to see how many goals will be made by leverkusen. Leverkusen was able climbing up in bundesliga. I guess leverkusen will do the same like when it will be playing against gilloise. |

If I had staked my bets on Juventus to win against Lazio, I would have been mad with the results but fortunately I ignored the game entirely to be on the safe side. Juventus have a chance when they face Sporting in the quarter finals to redeem their season by beating Sporting to progress to the semi finals but the question remains can they make it against Sporting who in their own amazing way knocked out Arteta's men?
It's very hard to say how big the possibilities owned by juventus. The thing that i believe is if juventus is still having capable squads to defeat sporting in the first leg with good aggregates that will give juventus more room to growth in europa league. Sporting is strong but juventus may see that as an easy club to be beaten. it looks so amazing to see that if sporting was kicking arsenal out of europa league. It's still possibly happened to the juventus, Sporting is not an underrated team at this moment. This club is performing so well in UCL. that's very sad that if sporting must be also eliminated from UCL. Juventus was also going from the same thing as well. It seems like that juventus makes me a bit better to use it as my pick compared with sporting. I consder playing at home will be boosting the performance of the club so much. Sporting may lose in the first leg against juventus. Juventus is in a mission to take europa league to be qualified for UCL trophy. That's why allegri will be urging its players to play seriously against sporting. |

Lionel Messi popularity give beneficial for Barcelona without as long term project due he has 36 years old, but he can bring positive impact with jersey sold more than expected because all fans still hope Messi will back to Barcelona next season, there are not problem between Lewandowski and Lionel Messi because each other have difference position. It's good to see messi going back again to the barcelona but is not it a blunder for the club? I meant Barcelona needs to sell so many players. There are around 7 players who will be sold by barcelona during the summer transfer season. The combination between messi and lewandowski has not tested yet. The outcome may be good or bad. Losing so many players for one players are not worth especially when those who will be going out from barcelona are mostly young players. THere's no guarantee if messi will be playing for a long time. Barcelona fans would like to see him back in the camp nou as long as the club was in good financial condition. Barcelona needs also a secondary player. It's not worth to exchange 7 players for 1 player. Messi will play as second striker and Lewandowski as center forward, but not easy if want to signing Lionel Messi because he has offering higher salary with PSG for extended contract and Barcelona face problem with financial right now. But if Messi return to Barcelona will make La Liga have more competitive and excited again.
True and barcelona need to sell a bunch of players before it will able to do a new signing again. It seems like the contract owned by gavi will be a failed contract. He will be also leaving the club soon. barcelona will lose more than 7 players at once. This is the worst thing that has ever been taken by barcelona. I know that barcelona had no choice but to pay messi's very high salary is unlikely to be an easy task for barcelona at this moment. |

As i predicted before if chelsea will not even silent seeing one of barcelona star gavi potentially going out from the barcelona in summer. It has been reported that Chelsea have launched an operation to sign Barcelona's young star Gavi this summer - with talks reportedly already held between the Blues and the player's representatives.
The 18-year-old Spain international midfielder could be available for nothing if there is no solution to the contract registration row between his club and LaLiga.
Barcelona haven't been able to register Gavi as a first-team player, despite his importance to the side, because of their ongoing financial struggles. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11959713/Chelsea-launch-bid-sign-Barcelona-star-Gavi-summer.htmlThe financial problem has been preventing barcelona to sign more players into the la liga. Meanwhile, barcelona is still interesting to bring back messi again. There are so many names that will be sold by barcelona for messi. Barcelona are looking to offload seven players in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Andreas Christensen and Ansu Fati on the list of potential departures. Apart from the duo, Abde Ezzalzouli, Ferran Torres, Franck Kessie, Raphinha, and Eric Garcia are also on the list. https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-andreas-christensen-ansu-fati-among-7-players-barcelona-eyeing-offload-summer-reportsIt will be so good to see that so many barcelona's players will be going out soon. I hope that some EPL clubs will able to prepare their money to sign those talented players that developed by barcelona. Barcelona was selling so many players just for messi. That proves how valuable messi for barcelona right now. 7 for 1, is it worth it? |

Having recent bad form for juventus in the last 2 match makes most people doubting them to shine in europa league but hey it's againt two big teams consecutively. 1 draw to inter and 1 lost to lazio that's indeed dorsnt mean they will fail as well against sporting cp this thursday.
The bookies still favorited juventus to win though.
The first leg gonna happen in the allianz stadium. I will not be surprised to see that if bookies were favoring juventus over sporting. The thing that i do believe if sporting is a very strong opponent. Remember that bookies were also doing the same when arsenal was against sporting in emirates stadium but surprisingly sporting was able beating arsenal in the penalty round. This is the first leg and i think that sporting will not even let juventus make as many goal as possible. A fully defensive strategy will become the main choice by sporting against juventus. That's pretty much the same strategy being used against arsenal. Juventus has ever meet sporting a few years ago and juventus was only able winning only one leg with very small score. |

Betting for Benfica does look more convincing for this match. But I won't dare to bet big for this match because Inter Milan could surprise us in this match. Likewise with the Man City vs Bayern match. I will probably bet on Man City because the position as the host seems to bring high motivation for the Man City players to win this match. But I don't think this game will score a lot of goals. because the two teams do have almost the same level of strength so the fight will definitely take place fiercely.
Benfica has been always winning in domestic competitions. It will be so hard for intermilan to defeat benfica even though intermilan will be playing away. Intermilan didn't have a good squads right now. I expect the result will be draw or benfica may lose with small scores against intermilan. Benfica was superior compared with intermilan but it doesn't even mean that benfica can't be beaten. I saw that how ancelotti was putting benfica as his most favorite team to go to the semi final. Inter milan was over feeling confidence with itself and forgot that if benfica was not the same like barcelona or another club that already faced by intermilan before in the group stages. This time intermilan will be facing far more difficult opponents. It will be so bad if inter will be losing with huge scores against benfica. I think that benfica will not even waste the opportunity to win against intermilan. it doesn't even matter where benfica play. It seems like that benfica is likely to dominate the match against intermilan |

Although Liverpool's recent performances may have been hit and miss it's crucial to keep in mind that they are a great team with a successful past. The team's perseverance and tenacity are demonstrated by their ability to recover from setbacks and compete at the top level.
As far as i can see that if liverpool is always doing so well. The problem is in the defensive line. So far, salah is always doing so well. Liverpool would able to get draw against arsenal which is a team that is still on fire right now. That was proving how capable liverpool to compete with the big clubs in EPL. The problem is so many blunders that are very often made by liverpool's players need to be fixed. As supporters we should continue to have faith in Liverpool capacity to turn things around and continue to play well for the rest of the season. Liverpool has the capacity to astound even the most doubtful of critics and win their future games with the help of their devoted fan base and the guidance of their skilled manager.
I think that for people or fans who have been analyzing the performance from liverpool carefully and i can say that if liverpool's problem was on its defenders. I just say this based on what i have seen from the previous meetings of liverpool in EPL. The inconsistency of liverpool's defenders are the main problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. I think that if you have been watching the previous meeting against arsenal carefully and you would have seen some mistakes that already made by van dijk that was giving free space for gabrial to concede the second goal against liverpool. |

I was not expecting Juventus to suffer defeat in the hands of Lazio based on their recent form, I thought the game was going end in a tie but Zaccagni's 53th minutes goal became the decider. Lazio has been playing well and beating Juventus shows that they deserve the second spot. It was good business as usual for Napoli as they won Leece to maintain their 16th point lead on the table. They only need to bag 12pts to be crowned champion of Italian seria a.
This is football. Juventus did so well against lazio but the problem is juventus's defenders were always making some blunders. These blunders are giving lazio's players chance to make two goals and won the game. I wonder how many people god surprised after seeing juventus loses against lazio. I personally think if juventus had a chance to win against lazio but the performance from juventus's defenders is very bad right now. The mission for juventus to make the gap owned by napoli to be even far from lazio has failed. I was not even predicting correctly about that since juventus was always winning the game in the previous matches but juventus's defenders are making very bad actions in that match. Juventus defenders were making unnecessary diving. LMAO |

I believe that going for one long season without any title to contend for other than the Premier League will force Chelsea to build a strong team and focus solely on winning a trophy for that season. I'm not sure what the outcome of their match with Real Madrid will be, as that is their only chance of winning a title this season. But some of the top players may want to leave because competing for just one title in a season isn't what some players want; they want it to be more competitive.
Lampard is a caretaker for chelsea until the end of the season but if todd was extending his contract and i think that what you were saying above will not be the reality. Sometimes a team is already forced to built a team even stronger but chelsea was doing it differently. Chelsea was even making the team even weaker from time to the time. Basically, chelsea has enough time to sign a professional coach who regularly coaches the world-class club but todd was always taking unpredictable decisions that leads the team into lose streaks. Winning against madrid is a must for chelsea. Chelsea will not participate in UCL upcoming season if this club will not able to win UCL this season. It's caused by chelsea even going into the relegation zone along with some meaty clubs. I don't even know what to say about chelsea right now but calling it as worst club in EPL is already represented everything. Im not sure even if chelsea got nothing for this season will push todd to take the decision even more wisely. Chelsea owner was always making very bad decisions for its clubs. I don't even know whether he was aware of the impact of his decision or not. Chelsea is still having some big matches in EPL |

Atletico managed to complete their mission perfectly, the victory over Vallecano made their distance with Real Madrid even closer. This victory also made Atletico widen the distance with Real Sociedad, consistency is needed to secure a place in the top four positions.
Real Madrid point difference with Atletico is getting closer due to the victory that Atletico just won, entering Week 28 the two are only two points away due to Real Madrid dramatic 3-2 defeat to Villarreal. Real Madrid must find the motivation to win in the next game to keep its position safe in second place.
Even though vallecano was leading the match. it can be seen from how vallecano was able to get more control over the ball compared with atletico madrid. Atletico madrid was almost getting drawn against vallecano. Glad to see that madrid is still strong enough to stay even longer at the 3rd position. The horrible result already got by real madrid. one days before real madrid will be facing chelsea and this world best club must have lost against villareal while at the same time chelsea was also doing the same thing like real madrid. i wonder what's wrong with real madrid? it doesn't even make sense to see that if real madrid was able to lose against villareal. Madrid faces difficulty in making goals against villareal. The performance from real madrid against villareal looks like the opposite thing like when it was against barcelina in the second leg of copa del rey. I lose. what a horrible performance by real madrid. |

What happens is that Cremonese is something else when it faces a team like Napoli, Napoli is a team that was going to grow, but it is based on work, not because of having stars, at Napoli we do check They don't have stars, they are just players who knew how to accommodate and integrate into the strategy that their coach gave them, and that made them Believe in themselves and be able to move forward, victories in a Team are very necessary and that everyone sees each other as brothers, and I have Particularly seen that at Napoli, so much so that they have not even sold players or something similar.
Thing can change with the goes of time. Napoli already stated if the club wanna let osimhen go out as long as there will is a worthy offer to be taken. Napoli was just developing amateur players to be its new stars. Napoli has stars right now and these stars already targeted by some big clubs. Napoli is targeting trophy for this season. Serie a already fully secured by napoli and it's the time for napoli to get another trophy for this season but the problem is osimhen has not yet fully recovered from his injury. He must also use mask again in the upcoming match against ac milan. I think that any big clubs must have started to take cheap players and then develop it to be another star like what already done by napoli. |

Arsenal seems to be favourite to win the 2022/2023 Premier League season but Manchester City is still very much in it and I think the winner would be either of the teams but being a Gunner, I just hope we win!
If arsenal will be drawing or losing again in upcoming match. Arsenal may lose a chance to take EPL this season. City is still having a bigger chance as long as it can be consistent until the end of the season. you can even try to do a proper calculation to calculate how big the chances that owned by arsenal right now. Arsenal is not owning a big chance after it was getting a draw against liverpool. With only 1 loss and it can change everything right now. There will be a match between city and arsenal. This will be determining the winner of this season. I hope that city will able to clean sheet against arsenal. It seems like their performance from arsenal is not that good. It can be seen from the result against liverpool. This gonna be the biggest match for this season. The winner will be coming from the result of that match. I wonder how city will be able making so many goals against arsenal. Arsenal is strong but it seems like that city has enough capability to make it happen as long as some main players will be playing. |

The UCL this season is tough, I must admit. I certainly cannot deny the fact that the teams almost have equal chances of winning it. However, I would still go with the defending champions, Real Madrid. It's not so hard if the club was getting in the other group where almost all of participants are coming from serie a. All of hard opponents were playing in the same group. You can imagine how hard the group that has been filled by chelsea, real madrid, bayern and manchester city. This is far hardest compared with the group that has been fulfilled by serie a clubs. I hope that benfica will able to destroy serie a club. Benfica is very strong right now. It can't be underrated even though was napoli in that group/ Benfica will able to win easily against napoli. Though, odds may not be in their favour, I just have a hunch that they would come out victorious. They may not be very consistent in their League games but they are very experienced when it comes to Champions League football. I don't see any team stopping them this time.
Chelsea has won UCL two times, and madrid 14 times. Bayern has also ever won UCL too but city has none. It has proven how strong the teams that were playing in these groups. Real madrid is the most favorite club right now to win UCL. Real madrid already won UCL last year and it may repeat the same story again. Madrid is very capable to win against any clubs in its group. The best team in the world. |
