This is an opportunity for Manchester City to top the Premier League table if they can beat Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield.
it is very hard for manchester city to be able to beat liverpool at anfield in the battle between the 2 strongest candidates for the english league championship this season. and liverpool is also in good form in the europa league playing away can win 5-1. a realistic and fair result for both teams is a draw. because with a draw both teams still have a very big chance to win the premiere league.

The match appears to be quite unpredictable, and it will be difficult to choose between the two teams based on their recent game performances. Manchester City will have a much lower chance of winning this game because it will be played at Liverpool's home stadium, Anfield. Liverpool has a bigger advantage because they'll be playing at home. Aside from home advantage, the statistics and current intensity of the league will determine how the game will end. Manchester City and Liverpool are more likely to draw this match than any other score we can think that they can finish with. It will be a serious match, and I am looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Since Pep Guardiola took over the managerial position at Manchester City, it's always been absolutely difficult to predict who'll win whenever his teams faces Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and that's because of the qualities of players in both teams and also because of the tactical strength of managers of both teams. This weekend in the English Premier League, the two teams who also happens to be the top two teams in the English Premier League table will face each other at Anfield ajd a lot of people including bookmakers are backing the home side Liverpool to win that particular game.
Pep Guardiola is one manager that's not afraid to play in any ground with his Manchester City team because to him, they are very capable to play in any team and still be able to get good results and that's why I expect him to tell his boys to be at their best when they face Liverpool on Sunday in a match that'll play a vital role in deciding who'll win the English Premier League title at the end of the season. Liverpool currently lead the league table but are just one point ahead of Manchester City and two ahead of third placed Arsenal and if they must win the league title at the end of the season, they must make sure they don't suffer a defeat in that match

Following football trends, Victor Osimhen of Napoli will be better off taking the move to PSG and go become the new prince of France. With Mbappe touted to leave for Real Madrid and Goncalo Not firing in the 9 position, Osimhen is one who is one that can fill the voids easily.

Yes, I would think so too. Mbappe had left some shoes that Osimhen could be able to fill in quite comfortably. And perhaps, his skills would be more pronounced playing for PSG than it would playing in any club in the premier league.
He could very well be touted as the new prince of France if such a move takes place later on.
It's a win-win situation for PSG, they didn't really lose Mbappe because Osimhen is also a high tier striker, so he can replace Mbappe's position and shine on there because Ligue 1 is a farmers league. Goncalo will back to Benfica in the middle of the year, PSG probably know Mbappe will leave them and they will sign Osimhen, that's why Goncalo is a loan.

Well it's not really a big achievement if Osimhen can perform in PSG because he must able to perform. While in Premier League there are many tough teams, so it's not a bad thing if he can't score a goal in every match.

I saw a weird news about Mbappe and PSG. We know Mbappe doesn't want to stay in PSG can he is trying to play in the other team and that's mainly because of the pressure they have from Real Madrid because Real Madrid made this player think about leaving his team after years of playing there. Now PSG is not happy about Real Madrid and they want to take revenge, there were new is about Vinicius Junior, the player of Real Madrid!
It seems if PSG loses Mbappe, in order to fill his place in the team they want to send an offer for Vinicius Junior and hire this young and talented player from Real Madrid to fill the place of Mbappe and renege from Real Madrid because hiring Mbappe.

https://www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com/en/transfers/revenge-for-mbappe-psg-wants-to-steal-vinicius-jr-from-madrid_301516_102.html




I'm yet to read any report on any of the sports news platforms that suggests that Paris Saint Germaine are going to reach out to Vinicius Jr when Kylian Mbappe leaves the club but if what I just read now about the potential offer by Paris Saint Germaine to Real Madrid for the services of Vinicius Jr is true, I think it'll be a very difficult task for Paris Saint Germaine.
Kylian Mbappe have already confirmed that he's going to leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the current season and considering the reports we've read about his next destination, I think it's crystal clear that Real Madrid will be his home from next season and should Kylian Mbappe sign for Real Madrid, I don't think his presence is going to be a threat to Vinicius Jr's playing time at the club and that's why I also do not think he'll want to leave Real Madrid for any other European club including Paris Saint Germaine.
Kylian Mbappe is one player that's proven that he can perfectly play from the wing and also as a center forward and because Real Madrid already have a player like Vinicius Jr, I expect him to operate from the center forward position when he joins Madrid which will now compliment the efforts and playing style of Vinicius Jr instead becoming a threat to him.

-snip-
Of course, until now there is no team in Ligue that can break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. They are really a very strong team and also have very large finances. I think they will be able to dominate the league for the next few seasons unless another team is also acquired by a super rich company from the Middle East.
You are not completely right, Lille once broke PSG's dominance in the 2020-2021 season where at that time Lille managed to win the title with a 1 point gap over PSG. Monaco also did this in the 2016-2017 season, but as a team that has good squad depth, PSG tends to be more able to gain dominance again in a different season.

PSG have defended their title in the last two seasons and this season they are also very likely to be able to defend their title again considering that none of the teams in Ligue 1 are able to compete closely with them. The league is still ongoing and of course it will still be different, but considering that PSG has a high points gap compared to other competitors, it is likely that PSG will defend its title for 3 consecutive seasons.
The two times that Monaco and Lille was able to break Paris Saint Germaine's dominance in the French league, I think it was simply caused by the club's very poor performances not because they didn't have players that are very capable to beat the rest of the teams in the league as of that time. However I think to break the current dominance of Paris Saint Germaine would definitely be very difficult even when their best player Kylian Mbappe leaves the club at the end of the current season.
In modern day football, a team will have to spend hugely in the transfer market to be able to remain in competitive their respective leagues and any other competition and while Paris Saint Germaine is spending huge amount of money to sign footballers, their other counterparts in the French league are busy signing either average players or experienced players who are nearing their retirement from football.
So if you ask me, I think Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French league in many more years to come if the owners of the other French teams continues to spend small in getting quality players. Paris Saint Germaine are currently the defending champions of the French league and I don't think there's anyone that's gonna stop them from retaining their title

It is quite risky to see Inter's narrow lead from the first leg against Atletico and even though they are favorites to win, playing the second leg at Atletico's home ground will be a problem. Usually Atletico will be more difficult to beat if they are at home and their fans will never stop providing support. I think Atletico could overturn the aggregate lead and if something like that happens, Inter must be prepared for the worst. Inter just needs to strengthen their defense and if they are able to score more goals, it will be difficult for Atletico to catch up on the aggregate goals.
Inter Milan have easily been the best Italian team since the start of the season and will win the Italian scudetto as far as this season is concerned because their points difference against the other teams in the league table suggests that it'll be almost for any of the other teams to catch up with them but the big question is can they replicate their form in the league when they visit Atletico Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie?
In first leg game of the tie, Inter Milan were able to win the game that was played at the San Siro stadium in Milan by just one goal to nil but defending that one goal lead from the first leg or adding more to it by scoring more goals I think will be very difficult for them because as we all know, Diego Simeone is one manager that loves the UEFA Champions League competition.
 The second leg of that tie is coming up next week and a lot of people are already of the opinion that Inter Milan are certainly going to either win the second leg or get a result that'll ensure they reach the quarter finals of the competition but as someone that's watched Atletico Madrid's games this season, I think it'll be a very difficult task for Inter Milan to progress but I'll still bank on them to get a win or a draw in that game

Unfortunately, Gundogan's penalty kick failed to be executed properly, but now he has managed to take a 1 goal lead through Lamine Yamal. It looks like Barcelona will win narrowly again and they shouldn't be happy just yet because anything can still happen. Mallorca will try to equalize if possible with little time remaining. Barcelona must strengthen its defense and seal this win at home.

Barcelona dominated the game and they were able to play more comfortably especially at the last minutes of the game if they scored the penalty in the first half in addition to the goal scored by Yamal.
I agree with you that Barcelona shouldn't be happy with such result. A one goal difference isn't reassuring and a late goal could cost them two points at the time they are desperate to catch Real Madrid..
Barcelona faced many difficulties when hosting Mallorca, and the team was in the bottom half of the La Liga rankings. On a very ungainly day, the home players kicked 20 times towards the away team's goal, so the 1-0 victory was a big disappointment after the 90 minutes officially ended. Barcelona played slackly after scoring the opening goal against Mallorca. This opens up opportunities for the away team to rise up. However, Mallorca had yet to succeed in front of Barcelona's goal despite having several good opportunities. This can be considered a lucky day for Barcelona. One unconvincing victory. Barcelona has disappointed its fans this season. This season Girona is the breakthrough and strong team, only they have enough strength to compete for the championship with Real Madrid.
In as much as I would admit to the fact that many people expected Barcelona to easily beat Mallorca, let's not forget that it was still this same Mallorca team that defeated Girona last weekend in the Spanish La Liga and that I think is another reason why no one should underestimate the power of the Mallorca team.
That being said, Barcelona have been absolutely impressive in their recent games in the Spanish La Liga and were even able to take a point from their game tonight against Mallorca even when they weren't in their best shape. The club manager Xavi Hernandez is supposed to be praised for what he's been able to achieve with this team this season despite the fact that they've had many injury concerns and also the fact that the club's management failed to sign high profile players to the club in recent transfer windows because of the financial crises at the club.
But the bad news for Barcelona fans is that Xavi Hernandez will leave the club at the end of the season and in my own opinion, I think it'll be very difficult to find another manager that'll help Barcelona to remain in competition for trophies with this current team when Xavi Hernandez leaves the club in the summer

Galatasaray are in high spirits after playing their match from the front and extending their point difference to 5. They were not expected to lose points today, they had a very comfortable win. The pressure on Fenerbahçe is increasing. They won't lose any points against Pendikspor this week, but the 5-point difference must be affecting the team psychologically.
Both teams have played extra in the league this season and have a very high winning percentage. Seasons like this are very rare. Whoever loses the championship will be devastated in their community.
Galatasaray who currently lead the Turkish Super Lig have u arguably been the best Turkish team since the start of the season especially in the Turkish league and that's why I think they're simply the best team that's capable of winning the Turkish Super Lig title at the end of the season despite the strong competition that's coming from their biggest rivals Fenerbahce.
Tonight against Caykur Rizespor, Galatasaray was in their merciless form as they tore their opponents apart without remorse and that's the kind of performance a team that's trying to defend their title does if you ask me. With that win , Galatasaray are now five points ahead of second placed Fenerbahce who have played one game lesser than the league leaders.

Fenerbahce on Thursday thrashed their opponents in the UEFA Europa League competition with a 3:1 scoreline to increase their chances of reaching the last eight of the competition and I'm very optimistic that they're surely gonna go far in the Europa League but what i think will be very difficult for them is stopping Galatasaray from winning the league title this season

You are right that a lot of sites are scam but you should know as a forum member that a lot of gambling sites announcement on the forum and all of them are legit. And they are running business for a long time. Almsot maximum sites has no accusation.
What you said here is absolutely correct about the authenticity of gambling sites that announced in the forum here especially the ones that are sponsoring different campaigns in the forum but we also mustn't forget that the reason why some forum members still fall for the scam of some of these gambling sites is because of the kind of welcome package that most of the scam sites starts with. They're very good in offering very attractive features to their customers when they're beginning to build their sites in other to lure many people in to their platform as many gamblers are easily drawn to such gambling sites.

So when talking about the use of the forum to know the gambling sites that are genuine, let's also not forget that there are other genuine gambling sites that are not in the forum which some of the forum members are their customers ahd and that's why when the scam gambling platforms introduces themselves with gambling so much tempting offers, some of the forum members will still fall victim to their tricks
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 08, 2024, 10:28:58 PM
Different people have their different mistakes that's made them lose everything in gambling or probably almost everything and I'll share my story of the kind of mistake I made that made me lose every dime I had and also how I learnt a big lesson from it. Sometimes in November 2019, I was not having money with me when a friend of mine who was owing me as of that time reached out to me and told me of his decision to pay me a huge sum of money I borrowed him and I was actually happy about the whole news of his decision to pay me my money. He sent me his location and how I can easily come meet him which I obliged to and went there to take my money. When I got there, he simply recounted the money he was having in his hand before me and it was the complete amount he was supposed to pay me and I recounted the money to confirm it was complete .

When I left his presence, I was stupid to go home direct, eat good food from the money and then plan on how to invest the rest of the money but decided to go inside a betting shop beside me at win more money from the money and to my surprise, I lost every dime I was having there and had to beg someone to help me with the money I used to transport myself. My mistake was when I became greedy by wanting to win more and that's why I'll advise any gambler out there not to always gamble with whichever money that comes their way

For Girona, winning the ticket Champions League is one of the most important things at the moment, regardless of where they will finish when the season ends. Girona gradual decline in performance made Barcelona lucky, because Xavi had the opportunity to bring his squad to finish in runner-up position. On paper, the Barcelona versus Mallorca match is fairly easy to guess, clearly Barcelona has a much higher chance of securing full points.

On the other hand, the Girona versus Osasuna match is also fairly easy to predict, Girona will most likely also be able to secure full points. In the last meeting, Girona managed to beat Osasuna 4-2. Acting as host will help Michel squad start to regain consistency, because in the last five matches Girona has lost a lot of points and was only able to win one match.
Not only is it important, it is a target they must achieve at the end of the season after Girona had a fantastic season this season. Míchel knows that winning the La Liga title is the most difficult thing for him and his team, but if they are able to maintain the consistency of their team's performance then Champions League tickets can still be hoped for.

About the title, Real Madrid is the team that will win it because they have collected a lot of points compared to Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. There are not many threats for Real Madrid after they lead 8 points above Barcelona and 7 points above Girona, meaning that Real Madrid is quite comfortable with the points gap.
Girona I must say have been impressive this season especially in the Spanish La Liga campaign and even if they didn't succeed to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season, we mustn't shy away from the fact that very little number of people would've predicted that they'll finish this season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table. Their impressive performance this season have been the most surprising happening of the season and I'm very optimistic that they'll surely finish the season in the top four of the season but might not be allowed to participate in the UEFA Champions League competition next and I want to say something that I think some of us in this forum are completely unaware of and that is one of the rules of qualifying to play in the UEFA Champions League competition.

One of the rules of the UEFA Champions League competition is that two teams of the same owner can't be allowed to participate in the competition and as we all know, Manchester City owners are also the co-owners of Girona and has the highest stake in the club so if Manchester City finishes in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season while Girona does same in the Spanish La Liga table, one of the is certainly not going to play in the competition and because Manchester City has a better ranking in the UEFA rankings, they'll play in the competition ahead of Girona

What do you think on the Manchester United - Everton game? Manchester United are favoured quite much for the win. But firstly Hojlund is still injured and not expected to play in this game as well. Rashford's situation is also not certain for now. If he also doesn't play Manchester United attacking line would be affected even more seriously in this game.  Sad

Manchester United got a really solid win against Everton away by 3-0 before. I hope to see another win by Manchester United and the odds given to that are 1.87 which is very tempting.  Grin  I think it is worth taking the risk so I will try my luck with it. Garnacho might need to play extra if Rashford also doesn't play.
In my opinion, this will still be a victory for Manchester United and despite Hojlund's injury, at least they will still win, even if only by a narrow score. Everton lost badly in the first round at home and now it is their turn to go to Old Trafford. Currently, Manchester United's performance is quite bad with two consecutive defeats, but there is no strong reason for them to lose at home.

Maybe I'm quite hesitant to see Rashford being prioritized as the main striker to replace Hojlund and I also understand that Erik Ten Hag has no other choice than that. Last week, with Hojlund's injury, Erik ten Hag had to rotate, placing Bruno as the right winger and letting Rashford fill the striker position. My question is, when Bruno became a winger, did Erik ten Hag not really trust Antony to fill that position? really funny isn't it?

However, we know that Antony cannot be relied on and is a waste of time when he is demoted to being a starter and soon his career will continue to decline without a deadline. Betting on Manchester United winning is satisfying but I think it can be guaranteed if they are able to control the game.
Manchester United and their opponents of this weekend's game in the English Premier League Everton have all been inconsistent this season but the truth is that Manchester United have been the better than team against the the Merseyside club and when they meet each other this weekend, I expect Manchester United to win the game. Everton who are trying to avoid relegation this season I think will definitely survive to remain in the English Premier League even if they lose to Manchester United this weekend but that doesn't mean that they're not gonna fight for a good result against Manchester United.

United manager Erik ten Hag said in his recent interview that there's hope with this his current Manchester United team and would've been in a better position in the league if some of their important players weren't injured in most parts of this season but inasmuch as he's not lying in the aspect of injury concerns, I think he didn't get it right when he said they would've been in a better position because to me, I think they should've been in a better position if he really managed the team how he was supposed to do.

Three points doesn't look easy for these clubs to accumulate, they have to put in the work. There's always presence of the bigger picture for these clubs. The Bundesliga title race are not mediocre teams, rather we're keen on watching the top race between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso keeps Making his best techniques for the club and explore them in league matches. Bayer Leverkusen will not lift the Bundesliga title with unbeaten record, rather we would looking closely to see how these elite team will compete them.

Bayern Leverkusen is already winning the league with an unbeaten record, they just need to be consistent and continue winning all of their remaining matches. Xabi Alonso has already proven himself to be worthy of all the praises that he is receiving. Bayern Leverkusen last year were not this strong and where not even amongst the top four best teams in the Bundesliga. This season, they remain the best and the most consistent team in the league. For the fact that they were able to beat Bayern Munich and are still maintaining the first place in the league says a lot about their performance this season. I can’t give it away that they cannot finish with an unbeaten run, it is just a matter of time for them to triumph and become the league winners.
P to play a full German Bundesliga season without suffering a defeat I think is one of the hardest things any team in the German league can never achieve and even when I'm totally not writing off Bayer Leverkusen from doing the "invincible" this season, I also think that it'll be very difficult for them to achieve

Arsenal will benefit greatly from a draw between Manchester City and Liverpool, but I'm not sure that will happen. The reason I say this is that both teams are vying for the same point, which is crucial for both of them. If either team wins, it will be a fortunate opportunity for them to win the league. Based on their performances so far, Manchester City looks better than Liverpool. In Liverpool's most recent match against Nothingham Forest, Liverpool struggled to score goals, possibly as a result of their players' absence.


The upcoming match between Manchester City and Liverpool is poised to be a closely contested affair, with the possibility of ending in a draw. Both teams are in good form, although Manchester City may have a slight advantage due to the absence of key players in Liverpool's squad owing to injuries. However, the home advantage could tip the scales in Liverpool's favor, as they tend to perform exceptionally well when playing in front of their home crowd. The passionate support from Liverpool fans adds to the team's morale and makes them a formidable opponent on their home turf.

Although Liverpool managed to secure a narrow victory against Nottingham Forest, it would be unfair to judge their form solely based on that match. Sometimes, even when a team is in great form, they may struggle to score goals due to various factors. In the case of Liverpool, while they controlled the pitch against Nottingham Forest, they were unable to capitalize on their dominance. Similarly, Manchester City also faced challenges in their matches against Bournemouth and Brentford, only managing to win by a single goal margin in each game.It's important to consider the quality of the opposition, as Nottingham and Brentford may not pose as significant of a threat as Manchester United, whom Manchester City defeated convincingly. Therefore, the number of goals scored does not necessarily reflect the strength of a team sometimes.

Whatever be the result of the English Premier League game between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, I think that Arsenal are definitely going to benefit from it provided they win their game against Brentford this weekend because it's either one of them drops points in that game or the two teams drops points but if Arsenal should find themselves in the spot of deciding the result of game, they'll definitely go for a draw as it'll help them to leverage on that to climb the league table.

Qarabağ made a surprise by eliminating Braga in the previous round. Can Qarabağ make another surprise? Bayer Leverkusen earned a 2-2 draw in the Round of 16 first leg away to Qarabag. Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are on course for a first Bundesliga title, 10 points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

Qarabag 2 - 2 Bayer Leverkusen. It was good to see Qarabag leading with 2 goals against big Leverkusen up to two third of the game but they failed to maintain that score and Leverkusen were able to get the draw. I think Bayer are superior and they will score more in their home in the second leg.
Otherwise, Liverpool, Roma and Marseille ended their games with 4 goals difference making them almost qualifying to the next round. AC Milan are favourite too with their two goals difference advantage in front of Slavia Praha.
Before I talk about Bayer Leverkusen come back in their game against Qarabag, I'll want to first talk about the home team's performance in the game and how they were very close to beat Bayer Leverkusen in that game. For a team that's been very strong and consistent since the start of the season like Bayer Leverkusen, I was expecting them to win their game against Qarabag even when they were playing away but the home surprised me when they first scored the first two goals of the game and even had to protect their one goal lead until the stoppage time goal the game.
However, Bayer Leverkusen were still able to end the game with a draw and extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 35 games without a defeat.
In the other games of the Europa League tonight, Liverpool as well as Roma and Marseille all won with four goals margins against their opponents to take full control of their round of 16 ties and I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop any of them from reaching the final quarter final of the competition this season

After Real Madrid narrowly defeated Leipzig in the first leg of their round of 16 game in the UEFA Champions League competition, I had predicted that they're going to easily beat their opponents in the second leg of the tie but little did I know that the Spanish giants are going to struggle in the game and even had to settle for a draw. Real Madrid's result yesterday I don't think is a matter of luck rather they weren't just fortunate to score goals in that match because Real Madrid were simply the better team in that match
Sometimes it does happens in football that a team will be having the best performance while the other who's the weak side my be lucky with the goals and be winning and in the end of the game what matters the most is the results and not the performance or how well a team did played the game, most times it's usual for the best team to win but then a few times the weak side may actually really prove tough and strong.

In champions league, it usually appears that most teams do put on a different kind of performance, they seem to be in a different spirit as compared to how they usually be in their domestic league probably because they are aware of the circumstances around the champions league been a very competitive one and any team that's not in such competitive spirit usually don't go far enough in the champions league so that try to put up that fighting spirit and that's exactly what Leipzig was trying with real Madrid knowing too well how good Madrid is a d how Madrid can stop them in the UCL.

The draw actually turned out in favour of real Madrid because they already had a win and so the draw only helped to give them a chance to the next stage and this was how far Leipzig could go in the champions league this season, for me the results is all that matters how they struggled isn't much of a problem but the result, and that's exactly what real Madrid did, they got the results.
Yes I understand that the result the UEFA Champions League game between Real Madrid and Leipzig yesterday actually favored the home side because of the fact that they managed to narrowly win the first leg of the tie but what I'm trying to say is that considering the football strength of Real Madrid when compared to their German counterparts and the fact that they played the game at home, I expected them to easily win the game but football sometimes doesn't give us what we expect or have already predicted and that's what makes it the most interesting of all the sports in the world.

With the result of that game yesterday, Real Madrid have qualified to play in the quarter finals of the game and after the quarter finals and semi finals draw of the game is made, Real Madrid will know who'll they'll be playing against in the quarter finals and the the team they'll face in the semi final should they happen to win their quarter final opponent.

The UEFA Champions League is club football's most prestigious competition and as the most successful club in the competition, I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will be very much able to face whichever team they'll eventually meet in the later stages of the competition and is also one of the favorite teams that can win the UEFA Champions League competition this season

AS Roma VS Brighton

AS Roma StartXI: 4-3-3
Mile Svilar; Zeki Çelik; Gianluca Mancini; Evan Ndicka; Leonardo Spinazzola; Bryan Cristante; Leandro Paredes; Lorenzo Pellegrini; Paulo Dybala; Romelu Lukaku; Stephan El Shaarawy

Brighton StartXI: 4-2-3-1
Jason Steele; Tariq Lamptey; Jan Paul van Hecke; Lewis Dunk; Igor Júlio; Billy Gilmour; Pascal Groß; Simon Adingra; Julio Enciso; Facundo Buonanotte; Danny Welbeck

This match is between England and Italian, currently the most consistency team among this two is AS Roma and at the same time they are the host which means they will do better then Brighton, currently Brighton are facing low consistency in their performance, with I don't see any hope for them to win.
You're right, it is 2-0 to AS Roma and Dybala and Romelu Lukaku have scored the goals. So far they shoot 12 times at the goal from Brighton & Hove Albion and they scored two goals. There are still 35 minutes to play and I think AS Roma will score one more goal, otherwise they will take it a bit easier now, they dont have to score any more goals. Coach de Rossi is doing everything right again, that would be the 5th game in a row won. In the last 10 games they have even won 8 of them, one of them lost against Inter Milan and the other one a draw. So AS Roma is currently one of the best teams in Italy.
The UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie between Italian club Roma and English side Brighton is in the 88nd minute and the Italian team is completely tearing their English counterparts apart in a game many had already predicted that Brighton will have a chance to get at least a draw. Like I've always say, when it comes to European competitions, experience of European football counts and that's been the difference between the two teams tonight. Roma have easily been the better side because they've got a better experience in the competition than Brighton.
Since Daniele De Rossi took over the managerial position at Roma, he's significantly improved the performance of the team and have made them a serious contender for the Europa League trophy and if they can continue with their current performance, I think they go far in the competition

Another game that's caught my attention is the game between Sparta Praha and Liverpool and the game is also in the finals minutes with the English Premier League club leading with an impressive 5:1 scoreline. It's been an easy night for the English Premier League leaders who have a strong game to play this weekend in their league against reigning English champions Manchester City. Mohammed Salah who has been sidelined with injury came into the game in the second half and that I think will boost the confidence of the team going into their league game of the weekend

Luckily for Madrid after they only got 1 point Girona lost and Bacelona drew. They still have a considerable points gap from Girona. As for Barcelona, injuries to several key players have weakened them. One of them is Pedri. Xavi seems to be getting happy because Pedri can play against Atlhtic Club but Xavi must also be sad because Pedri and De Jong are injured again. Xavi can't do much this winter transfer season. Because of their poor financial condition.
Real Madrid benefited from the unsatisfactory results achieved by Girona and Barcelona so that the final results at Valencia headquarters did not really affect the results they achieved. The rather large difference in points is still maintained, Real Madrid is still safe at the top of the standings. Barcelona who began to find the best form of the game, had to re -accept the bitter reality due to the injury suffered by its flagship players, the injury suffered by Pedri and De Jong will make Xavi have to make changes to maintain the stability of Barcelona game. Without the presence of Pedri and De Jong will slightly affect Barcelona appearance because these two players play an important role in maintaining the rhythm of the game and they are also very often the creators of attacks.
I expected Real Madrid to beat Valencia last weekend but surprisingly, they failed to do that and even had to come from a two goals down to get a draw in that particular game but what surprised me more was that the two teams that were supposed to capitalize on Real Madrid's result by winning their respective games failed to to do that. Barcelona and Girona weren't able to win in their Spanish La Liga games of the weekend and that I think is absolutely poor fir both teams who are also trying to catch up with league leaders Real Madrid.

With the results of the weekend in the English Premier League, I think it's now obvious that Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid are definitely going to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season. Speculations have it that Kylian Mbappe have completed 80% of his potential transfer to Real Madrid and would soon be unveiled as a Real Madrid player and that's why I think that Barcelona and Girona's have a better chance of winning the Spanish La Liga title this season than in the coming seasons because with the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the Real Madrid team, it'll be absolutely difficult for other Spanish La Liga clubs to win the league ahead of them

The way Chelsea are going about business in the remaining part of the season is a little bit confusing and is like they're just playing for no reason in the EPL, it has been a while since I saw one of the strongest team as of then behaving the way Chelsea is now. Lost the Carabao Cup to Liverpool for the second time and it's like things are fine with them, all eyes will definitely be on the coach for their poor performance (in some situation).
What is Chelsea playing for this season because at this point I don't see them struggling for anything anymore, if it's the top 4, we shouldn't go their to be honest, if is the FA Cup too, is a no no to me because they're now a team that's two steps forward and four steps backwards. I don't think the fans need to be cool about the condition of these players and every other thing that are not going well with the team.
Chelsea are losing spirit in every game they, altough are still able to get points in the league but we can see the gap that exists between other big teams today and Chelsea, since the Abrahimovich era ended at Chelsea I think that's when Chelsea's destruction began until now, some player purchases and even changes of coaches are not able to lift Chelsea's performance to be better now,  Even reportedly with the myriad of failures obtained by Chelsea this season has caused a huge disappointment in the hearts of the fans and even they are now demanding Pochettino to immediately resign from his position, as well as the current Chelsea owner who is felt not to have high loyalty to football in contrast to Abrahimovich at that time.

I think maybe we will see Chelsea glory era as a team that won many trophies in the past coming to an end, not in the sense that they will be relegated but it looks like they will return to being the mediocre club they were before Abrahimovich buy in 2003, Chelsea are currently very down and even with spending a lot of money it seems that it will be difficult for Chelsea to return to its former glory.
If you can recall, it was Abrahimovic that revived Chelsea, after he bought Chelsea and pumped in money into the club. He made Chelsea to be strong and also made them to be among the top four in EPL. After he left the club, Chelsea is now going back to their initial level before Abrahimovic bought the club. It is still those past glory that Chelsea is benefiting till date.

Chelsea fans are still in their slumber, and they have not woken up yet, because they have not seen that the club is falling and fading away, going back to the way it was before. I don't know why the club no longer buys quality players and coach, that will bring back hope to the fans and the club. It is very sad to see that this is happening to Chelsea, and I hope that all their fans worldwide will not decamp to other strong clubs, because it is useless to be the fan of a club with no hope on winning any trophy from season to season.
I don't think anyone will want to argue the fact that the most successful era in the history of Chelsea as a football club was from the time Russian billionaire Roman Abramovic bought the club in 2004 till when he was forced out of the club in 2022 because of the political disagreement between his nation Russia and the United Kingdom government and since he left Chelsea, Chelsea have never been the same again as they're now considered by many as an average team.

Talking about signing quality players, I think the current management of the club have spent so much in signing quality players to the club but what they've actually failed in is the area of finding the best playing pattern that'll bring out the best from these set of quality footballers and until they do that part, Chelsea will continue to struggle if you ask me.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Im telling you some reasons manchester city deserves to be favored in the match against liverpool. Here are some reasons.

1. Liverpool had so many injured players
2. Liverpool will get only 1 day to recover their stamina, which will impact their performance.
3. Salah may not play in the upcoming duel manchester city vs liverpool
Yeah Manchester City will be favored in this match, but it's still uncertain, there's a possibility the match will end in draw too. People would think Manchester City will destroy Liverpool, but actually there's a decline in Manchester City's performance, they're not quite stable.

Over/under bet seems to be safer, since both of them are fan of scoring many goals, probably over 2.5 or 3.5 goals could be a good bet.
Nothing should be underestimated here because these two teams have almost the same quality, Manchester City and Liverpool are also quite consistent, especially as there is quite a lot of motivation for both teams at this time to be able to win the Premier League title.

For betting on goal overs, I quite agree, because I also think so, both teams have almost the same quality and also great motivation which allows for high match tension so there is an opportunity for many goals to be scored in this match.

I agree with you, Liverpool and Manchester City are in the same level this season and with the current position they both occupy now it will be difficult to right off one of the team because of the injury crisis they have. For Manchester City, they may be considered as the favorite to win probably because of the time they have used to rest but Liverpool will have little resting time as they have a game in the Europa league today but seeing that both teams are in good shape, one can decide to pick a bts for betting or over 2.5 goals but am afraid cause the game may be too difficult to get plenty goals in it.
Liverpool and Manchester City have been the biggest rivals in the English Premier League for the past six seasons and just like many other seasons, the two English Premier League clubs have are currently the leading teams of the league table. Since the start of the season, they've the two teams have been giving their best to make sure they win the league at the end of the season but the problem now is none is them is ready to drop points for each. This weekend, they meet each other at Anfield and considering the result of the English Premier League fixtures between the two clubs at Anfield over the years, many are of the opinion that the league leaders Liverpool are going to win that particular encounter but for me, I think it'll be a very difficult game for both teams. However, just like bookmakers I'm also of the opinion that Liverpool stands a better chance to win or at least get a draw in that game.

Liverpool suffered injuries from a number of players who we know are part of the main squad, such as Mohamed Salah, even though there is news that Klopp could play Mo Salah in the match against Sparta in the 1st leg of the European League and I also saw yesterday that Salah had started training with the team in several Liverpool team training video circulating to the public.

Liverpool should not be too pushy to win the match by forcing players like Salah because there is still a chance in the second leg.
Klopp needs to pay attention to the more important Premier League against Manchester City in round 28.
It doesn't matter if he gets featured in this game if actually the injury he sustained was a minor one, Salah may come in to play during the second half due to his condition and depending on the situation of the game too because the result from this first leg can determine who wins in the end, just as the games are about goal aggregate to move to the next stage of the competition, therefore both first leg and second leg results are very important to take it seriously and not wait on second leg result, so resting Mo Salah when his injury is a minor injury wouldn't help matters because he is Liverpool's key player.
Later tonight in the city of Prague, Liverpool will kickoff their first knockout stage game of the season in the UEFA Europa League competition against Sparta Praga at the epet ARENA and because their best player of the last seven years Mohammed Salah is just removing from injury, a lot of people are trying figure out if he'll feature gir his club tonight or not. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is one man that surely knows how to rotate his team and knows which player is fit enough to play so I don't expect him to start Mohammed Salah tonight since they also have a crucial game to play in the English Premier League this coming weekend.

Liverpool who are currently leading the English Premier League table have been considered by many as one of the major favorite teams to win the Europa League trophy this season and because it's also Jurgen Klopp's last season at the club, Liverpool is even more determined to win as many trophies as possible so even if the manager starts with Mohammed Salah or not, I'm very optimistic that Liverpool will beat Sparta Praha before hosting them for the second leg of their round of 16 tie next week Thursday at Anfield. If for any reason Liverpool fails to beat Sparta Praha tonight, then I think they'll surely get a draw.

The funniest thing is that if they sell their main players instead, they should get some good and experienced players. They are not doing that because I’m not seeing it in them, which is what they are supposed to do, so I won’t count Dortmund as a strong club even though they are one of the best squads in the Bundesliga. 
Dortmund apart from being the best club in the Bundesliga they also seem to be in business where they always produce the best players and always sell their best players at high prices, I know they don't seem to really want the Bundesliga title if you look at last season where they almost won but they didn't get it. because they were unable to win the match which ultimately made Munich continue to dominate the Bundesliga by becoming champions for the umpteenth time and it was very boring to see them win the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen this season has been more successful than Dortmund, they don't just think about having good players in their squad, consistency is a very expensive price for Leverkusen. Becoming champions this season will make Leverkusen the only club that is currently undefeated and break Munich's dominance. This season, Dortmund should learn a lot from Leverkusen, that's why I was a little surprised by the unsatisfactory results last season where they failed to break Munich's dominance. I am sure that now Leverkusen is the only team in the Bundesliga that will succeed this season in becoming champions.
It's fair to say that Borussia Dortmund is one of the best clubs in Germany for the last two decades but definitely not the best football club in the German league because as we all know, Bayern Munich have been the best and most successful German club in history. But when you say that Borussia Dortmund's management is very good in football business, I'll absolutely agree with you because they've been able to breed some of the best players in Europe in the past one decade and sell them for big profitable prices.

However, Borussia Dortmund haven't been able to use successful in winning trophies because of this very idea of always selling their best players. Imagine if they never sold players like Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham and see how strong the team would've been in not just Germany but also in the whole of Europe. Football in recent years has been more of business than the passion to win trophies for some clubs and that I think is killing the beauty of the round leather game.

Bayer Leverkusen have been incredibly impressive since the start of the season and that's because they were able to keep assemble some of the best legs that are passionate about winning trophies for the club and considering how well they've been since the start of the season and their current position in the German Bundesliga table,, I think it's absolutely safe to say that they're surely gonna win the German Bundesliga title at the end of the current season

In my opinion, he should study and see about players who join Paris Saint Germain, indeed if we talk about money, Paris Saint Germain can pay him more than any other club. However, if we talk about career, I would not include Paris Saint Germain as a club that can make a player's career better. Let's see what happened to Mbappe after joining Paris Saint Germain. Indeed, he got many privileges, but he couldn't get anything special in his career, even though players would definitely want that.

Chelsea is not very good at the moment, so it is quite risky for Osimhen, Manchester United is also the same, but Manchester United is slightly better than Chelsea. If there is another club that is better and interested in him, I think he should consider that. The reason is that the situation of a club sometimes also influences a player's performance, unless the player can be at a very good level of stability, that might actually be what can take the club in an even better direction. But I haven't seen that from Osimhen.
I am more interested when Osimhem joins the English league compared to other leagues because if he is able to maintain the best playing form then in the English league it will be easier for him to achieve the best career. Chelsea is not at all a good place for him to come to now because the club's condition is very unstable and vice versa with Man United, but compared to Chelsea Man United is much better for Osimhem. If there were other clubs interested, maybe I would agree that he would be better off playing there, but so far not many clubs are willing to pay Osimhem a high price.

If players prioritize money then PSG is the place because there they can get everything like Mbappe, but talking about individual careers it is completely difficult for them to achieve this because PSG is only able to dominate the local league. If a player wants to have the best career then he must consider joining a certain club because if they are wrong they will actually bury their dreams of achieving the best career.
Victor Osimhen is one player that's shown that he can actually succeed in any of the top clubs in Europe if he finally gets a chance to play in any of them and considering his records since he joined his current club Napoli, I think he'll surely make a good signing for any of the top clubs in England so I think it'll be a good move for any of the top English Premier League clubs to go for his services at the end of the current season.

Rumor already has is that some of the top English Premier League  clubs are already trying to secure his signature. Some of the rumoured clubs are Chelsea, Manchester United and even Arsenal football club and for someone that's been following the English Premier League, I think joining any of Chelsea or Manchester United will definitely be a bad move for the Nigeria striker. Chelsea in the last two seasons have been absolutely awful and so is Manchester United and that's why I would suggest he joins Mikel Arteta's Arsenal who have been doing well in the last few seasons especially in the English Premier League. Again, with Chelsea and Manchester United, playing in the UEFA Champions League competition will likely not be possible for Victor Osimhen so it'll be better he joins Arsenal who will definitely guarantee him European Cup football
