I think Brighton might just end their journey in the Europa league at this point and may not be able to go any further because they don't have the experience to further be able to beat Roma to get ahead in the tournament, its their first experience and so much shouldn't be expected of them and just like you did mentioned getting pass the group stage is quite a good level of achievement they have gotten already.

This will definitely add to their wealth of experience so if there be a next time for them in the Europa they will know how well to tackle the situation and be able to navigate their way through, currently hwy have almost no chance of getting pass this stage of the Europa to the next stage because they would have to score above five goals against Roma in their next meeting if they would want to qualify for the next rounds of the tournament and for a team that won then four goals in the first leg, I doubt if it's possible they will be able to get up to four goals against them in the second leg.

Roma may most likely get to the quarter finals of the Europa but my doubts is within the fact that they can't get to the finals because they may not be able to take out the bigger team they will be meeting at these stages of the league, if they are able to get to the finals, even if they don't win I will still say they have achieved a whole lot in the Europa this season because they never looked like they can at the beginning.

I will agree with you but I will also want to note that West Ham isn't a weak or average team, they are above either of such category and that could actually means that West Ham can possibly get to win that game and get the full point, it may not actually be an easy one but it's very much possible they could win the game even with the stress that may come with winning the game, and it's aswell important they do.

Winning this game for Aston villa will mean that they will be having a strong and firm position in the top four on the league table and that has been one of their desire so they can be sure to make it to the champions league by next season hopefully. Aston villa currently at the fourth position on the table with 55 points and in their last five games have won three and lost two of the games showing the relativity of their strength which aswell can't be underestimated because they have got the form they can help them still maintain their position regardless.

West Ham has got the home advantage so I'm hoping they will be able to utilize that well enough to their advantage because Aston villa isn't going to take chances as loosing this game will mean Tottenham has got a chance to get ahead of them if they get to win their next game, but Aston villa wouldn't want that to happen, they are ahead of Tottenham by two points and a draw wouldn't do them even much good because that will means Tottenham winning their next game with good number of goals could aswell keep them ahead of Aaron villa.

I knew that Arsenal was never going to get it easy because they didn't have it easy in the first leg moreover champions league is quiet different from premier league and so is the performance aswell, you can't be expecting that champions league team wouldn't challenge much more than the premier league teams did challenged Arsenal, it's more competitive and has got Moser st stake .

The champions league is like the peak league amongst elite leagues across Europe so most team there puts in only their best because any thing short of that will means they will be crashing out of the league of which they wouldn't want to knowing how much the champions league means to them. Arsenal did put in their very best in last night encounter and so did Porto too but then it happened that Arsenal got to qualify after the penalty shoot out, it's even enough for Porto to have held on thst long.

Personally I would say Porto did fight a good fight even if they weren't able to win the match and qualify for the next stage of the game, congratulations to Arsenal, topping the premier league table and t the same time having qualified for the quarter finals of the champions league, could it be the gunners have got something up their sleeves for us this season, lets see what they have got after now.

Six point ahead staying at the top of the table means that you will have to win three straight matches and the team at the top will aswell have to loose three straight matches too then you will be equal with them and maybe using goal difference could displace them but I don't see that actually happening with inter Milan at this point neither do I see AC Milan been able to pull up such at inter Milan at this time of the league.

Juventus has sadly fallen behind enough not to even think of been able to catch up with inter Milan and getting ahead of them thereafter. I don't see that consistency in winning with either AC Milan or even Juventus, I doubt if they can at this time get a straight four wins in a row which will now give them an edge at inter Milan,. moreover inter Milan isn't even at the point where they would want to be loosing that much to give AC Milan and Juventus such opportunity so it's more like both teams (Juventus and AC Milan) will just compete within themselves.

Either of AC Milan and Juventus can finish at the second position but they are both finishing at top four which isn't much of a bad way to have ended the season but a considerable fair one. Juventus can hope to improve and get another opportunity next season, the opportunity they got this season was actually messed up after they lost to inter Milan a d since them they have been unable to recover again.

OsG isn't in the race for a second or third position, they are currently at the top and aren't looking like they are exiting the top spot anytime soon because they have got a good and firm stand their with a good point difference away from their next team who's behind them, they are currently like the best team across France and that has made them enjoy the top position for quite a good period of time,

Breath has got a very good chance at the second position of the table, this is actually if they keep up with their performance a d making sure to back it with some winnings streeks, breast is ten points away from PSG and also a point away from Monaco which means PSG is safe at the top but breast isn't at their second position so they literally need to work hard enough to get to strengthen their position by further broadening the gap between them and their immediate rival, I'm very hopeful Brest gets to finish second against Monaco who's just a point away from them at the third which means Monaco can actually displace breast if breast slacks.

Lillie is right behind Monaco too at the fourth position with hopes of possibly getting to the third position but then they all have equals chances at finishing top four and be able to still qualify for the champions league next season which will definitely be an achievement for them because participating in such elite league has been the dream of some of the other teams in the Ligue 1 aswell so for those who got it, it's an achievement.

Actually asides the champions league he may not really have an opportunity with other tournament in which he's participating especially his domestic league game and that's why it will look lore like currently he's gotta focus more on the champions league giving it he's very best so he could get something from it upon which he could see as an achievement for the season but then I still doubt he's performance.

Tuchels team don't seem like one who can go beyond the quarter finals bid they eventually get lucky to get pass the round of sixteen, they actually don't really have a bad or poor performance but they don't ha e that for and resilience in spirit that accompany champions league teams especially those who are hoping to get the trophy, they just appear like an average team in the champions league who may actually get to depend on luck at some point beyond which they may not be capable of the performance that will get them the trophy by the end of the season.

So basically this season may end without Munich getting any trophy but if they managed to get to the semifinals of the champions league then it can be said they have done enough for their selves already and can take a bow for the more elite team to see what they can hope to achieve with the league this season. Probably Munich could learn from this season and put up a better performance for next season with adequate performance.

Well taking about the elite team disappointing when it comes to you gambling , I think it's more of your problem as your picks aswell has got a whole lot to do with what exactly will be the outcome of your game but then if you are not lucky with the picks it doesn't mean that the elite teams disappoints it only means that these teams played what the could but you were just not luck with your picks.

It's actually true that xabis team and klops have been spotted to be the elite teams of the Europa this season and that's actually in no doubts as both teams are doing so well not only in the Europa tournament but in their various domestic leagues aswell so I think it's okay to see them as elite but let's not also neglect the kinds of AC Milan and Roma they are both doing well too in their own capacity which could mean that they could possibly challenge the bigger teams if they eventually meet so I don't think Leverkusen and Liverpool alone are the only big teams in the Europa.

Other teams may actually appear like mediocre teams but then they can aswell be a hitch to these big team if at any point they are been taken for granted just like Porto was been overlooked by Arsenal in the champions league and now they are literally struggling to get ahead of Porto because Porto now have a chance and advantage over them in the champions league at the moment .

Ita already pas 30 minutes into the game and I see a very balanced game between both teams as they are both effectively forcing the attack and at same time keeping their defense safe enough against any kind of penetration by their opponent, Arsenal is really looking for an opportunity to get a counter attack upon which they will capitalize you get the scoreboard balanced but it's not looking like that's what they case will be.

Porto aswell is looking like they are pushing for a draw because they have got a very firm lock on their defense such thst all efforts by Arsenal to penetrate the defense in the early hours is almost futile, Arsenal has actually be able to break the defense of Porto a few times so has Porto done aswell buy I think adding some more creativity will help Arsenal much better because it's obvious thats what they may need any this time so their atrempts can be able to give them the kind of results they will be needing to get pass their current stage in the champions league.

I'm hoping to see a better performance by the second half from either teams as I'm actually not supporting any team in particular because both teams have got good performance and one of the teams already has an edge in the fact that they did win their first game at their home so any of them who's got the best performance and the is aswell lucky should win while the other hope to try their luck again next season.

Well I don't doubt the fact that Arsenal can achieve the premier league but I think currently there's room many circumstances around the premier league trophy at this moment to allow Arsenal win the trophy easily, they are actually going to be challenged with bearing all this bigger teams to their game and winning already because teams like Liverpool and Manchester city are ready to making sure they make it to the top.

If Arsenal must be sure to win this trophy then they should make sure to bear Manchester city in their next encounter because that will be the surest way to have a secured their top position and hoping ro be able to get over other smaller teams they will be coming across rill they are able to finally lift the trophy by the end of the season, anyways all these are just speculations buy in reality it's not looking like Arsenal may win the trophy this season , it's looking more like they will only finish amongst top four teams, a d secure a place at the champions league next season.

Manchester city guardiola will literally stop at nothing to lifting the premier league aswell as the champions league too, Arsenal isn't actually matching enough for Manchester city even if they have got what actually looks like a good form presently, they still may not be able to really get to beat Manchester city or be the reason city will nit be lifting the trophy,. Liverpool can buy I doubt it with Arsenal.

Judging by the present situation on ground it's looking like Arsenal is already at disadvantage and needs an extra work and performance to be able to fix the team else they will most likely be relegated from the champions league, they literally need beyond their regular performance to out play both the goal difference and win advantage that Porto has already gotten ahead if they must win and qualify to the next stage for the league game.

Arsenal is In a good and sound form but there are fears they may not be able to take Porto out because even Porto currently has been of good performance in their domestic League even if their domestic league isn't in any way compared to the champions league but that is a boost for their confidence and their attitude towards winning in this meeting against Arsenal. Arsenal needs to win with at least three goals ahead whereby Porto will have no goal then they can be sure to get to the next stage of the champions league but if Porto gets a goal them it further increases the pressure on arsenal.

I don't know how well Arsenal will be able to manage the pressure that will come from porto especially if Porto gets a goal, that will actually threatens their chances of qualifying but then I want to believe that the top team in the premier league will still be top too at the champions league, as they have gotten a good level of experience which I'd employed they will be able to gwt a chance but they will have to play much better than they did in their first meeting.

In as much as I wouldn't want to sound like underestimating Chelsea, I also wouldn't want to see them as they can really do much because they are not even looking like they can so I will rather just accept them as they are and see them within their performance and see to it that that's how well they can perform this season and hope they be improved by next season enough to do much better than they did this season.

If palmer plays in the attacking midfield position like you have suggested with similarities to Manchester city strategy I don't think bit will be a perfect idea because Chelsea don't seem to have that strength that will balance the midfield using such tactical approach, it will be better he maintains his position and pochettino finds a better approach with which he will position his plyers to get the desired results the hope to achieve from the team, strengthen their midfield is another thing they should put to consideration probably by next season.

Chelsea can still return to their glory days but not in this season and they will have to fix their midfield and a little touch around their defense to be able bro achieve that, they have got a fair attacking line which needs some brushing and they will be much better, overall Chelsea doesn't seem to have a bad squad but have a poor tactical approach to their games and that's what pochenttino should work on.

This is a clear evidence of the dependency of gambling on luck, gambling has got a greater part of it to be luck dependent but a few persons still doesn't take this completely as they still believe so well that by their skill and knowledge they don't need too much of the influence of luck on their game about then it's what is most applicable as been lucky literally helps you a lot in gambling than your skill would.

Just like OP did stated he wasn't expecting such a game to be won probably because it was a random pick and he never saw a possibility with such a pick but the. As luck may have it there can a possibility in such pick and now the game is a won ticket for him, he's won such a game by luck, it's possible you can do proper analysis and make the best and most probable pick but at the end of the day it still ends up been a lost ticket but a random picker can just win stress free with jus random picks not making proper analysis or having a perfect knowledge of the game.

I had similar experience with my first ever win in gambling, I had almost no good knowledge about the game but I just made my licks anyways and to my amazement it was a win ticket which actually tempted me to give it a second trial but my friend dragged me out of the casino saying come let's go before you loose it all back to the casino again, so lucky still remains paramount in gambling then followed by your knowledge and skills.

Barcelona and Napoli meeting tomorrow is another interesting game we will be witnessing in the champions league and I don't know if much has really been discussed about it because personally I see a whole lot to talk about in that game as it's a must win for both team if any of them will have to proceed to the next stage of the competition but a draw will favour one side as against the other tho it's relative.

If they draw with more than a goal probably each team getting two goals it will actually be balanced because they have not got equal amount of goals both home and away so in such case they will result to a penalty shoot out to get the actual winner of the game other wise they will have both teams qualifying which is practically impossible. Barcelona has got some good level of champions league experience but it has been really displayed in a less optimal pattern since this round of sixteen, I doubt if Napoli has got same level of experience with the champions league but yet they are trying.

Barcelona needs to brace up especially with the fact that they will be hosting Napoli because it will be very embarrassing I'm a champions league game as this and Barcelona is loosing at home in such a critical time, they will just have to give their best nd let xavi use much Younger players like yamal and Felix who can deliver them in this game with a much more improve tactical approach because Napoli isn't slacking.

Sometimes defensive strength do cause a team not to anticipate a potential loss ahead because they will depend so much on their defense that they will doubt any form of penetration which could cause they conceding goals and probably loosing the game and I think such was with the case of fiorentina, they had much faith in their defense that it reduced how well they were feeding their attacks to get goals.

Tho their midfield wasn't a bad one but then Roma had a better attacks that were able to combine creativity with their attacking strength to continually bet the ball inside the post of fiorntina mercilessly till the end of the second half of the game, the first half didn't come with much action and goals as did the second half and that was where the whole interest of the game did dwell as the play and performance were epic and enjoyable to both the fans who were watching and both to none fans who saw the game aswell, I applaud Roma for such a performance.

Roma has continued to build momentum especially in the serie A since after the arrival of their present new coach who replaced Mourinho, Rossi have been able to get around weak and average teams but still finding it very challenging around strong teams and those who in a way equate his kind of strength but I'm trusting that with time he will get a better tactical approach with which he will be able to tackle that.

Seville hasn't been in their very best form this season but have managed to be at their current position, rhey have been able to get three wins a loss and a draw in their last five games which has kept them at the fourteenth position with twelve points so far, so they appear like the favorite in this game today even if they won't be playing from home in today's game but it isn't a reason they wouldn't be able to defeat their opponent.

Almeria on the other hand has not been in a very good from and has aswell had very weak and poor performance since this season with an unequal matching strength for Sevilla even if Sevilla is a tough team too, Almeria managed to escape relegation last season with a difference of just a point and that has been what has helped them to be able to play in the. La Liga this season but then I doubt if they will be able to participate in next season la Liga because they have no way of escaping relegation this season as their current position and point is really terrible.

This may be their las la Liga game until they will be able to exit relegation probably by subsequent seasons ahead, Almeria with just 9 points since the whole of this season is at the bottom of the table having won none of their recent games but lost two and draw all the rest three, I doubt if they will be able to get ahead of Sevilla or be able to win them because by virtue of their strength the best they can do even with their home advantage is a draw.

Arsenal are temporarily back to the top of the table, I think this sounds better because they are yet to be strongly placed at the top of the table, they could still be displaced soonest from the top of the table so currently they are temporarily at the top pending when they will be able to stay at the top with at least six points ahead of the teams at the second position then I can say for sure they are at the top.

Arsenal has actually been trying to speedily move to the top of which they have partially achieved, they had a performance away from their most recent against Brentford over the weekend so I don't know if it's a sign that they are about to bring down the tempo and just probably play at a normal pase and not the 4-6 goals wins they have been getting. Liverpool and Manchester city are not going to stop at this to letting Arsenal easily get over the premier league but I'm most definite they will most likely try to get the trophy because they have both been at the top too and the current difference is small.

Both city and Liverpool are still both in the title race and are still at equal chance of winning the title at this time so it's not yet a crown for Arsenal but there's still an equal chance for all and let's wait and see how next weekend turns out for the three teams than we would know who will then stand at a better advantage to win the trophy than the other but Manchester city and Liverpool stands at the better chance.

PSG has not seem to have issues with winning the Ligue 1 trophy this season, it's been a norm for them most of the times win the Ligue 1 at ease as they have got one of the best and most formidable team in the whole of the french Ligue 1, they have show so much dominance that most of the french team real find it difficult getting ahead of them in a season, even if they slack at some point they do have their way around back.

In the Ligue 1 so far they have been almost not contendable by most team even when the loose a few games and loose points, it doesn't take them long enough to bounce back and when they are been closely followed by other teams at the second position they still seem not to be moved because it's more like they have gotten too used to the Ligue 1 they always have their way around it and always know how best to get back at it whenever they feel there's a set back on their path, they don't have much problem around the Ligue their biggest challenge has always been with the champions league.

PSG winning the champions league will be greater achievement for them worth much more than the Ligue 1 and so they have seen to Chanel and exert more efforts to the champions league than they would to their domestic League which is already looking like a certainty to the unlike the champions league do appear to be, they would strength their squad and so all.rhey can just for the champions league and never for their domestic league because by default they will still have the domestic league trophy.

Away from winning the German bundesliga title this season, the record of staying unbeaten too is aswell important to Bayern Leverkusen too and they are actually fighting so hard to  maintaining that because if they are able to keep such a record they are definitely going to aswell be able able to win the league without much stress because such a record already means they are accumulating points on every match already.

Bayern Leverkusen has indeed brought a new dimensions to the German bundesliga this season, they now sit comfortably at the top of the table such that they don't have much issues with the points no more but they are not focused on maintaining an unbeaten record which is a spectacular aspiration as it's not just the regular kind of wins seen in the German bundesliga, their unbeaten records still stands at a threat until the season is over because most teams now would want to not just win them but stop them from making such record this season.

The interesting part have to be in the fact that the record they are holding isn't just in the German bundesliga but across all their European competition and I think this is something no German team has done in a long time and that why theirs is looking real different that what is assumed to be the regular, a few team has been able to maintain an unbeaten record through the season but I don't think it's common to be across all European competition for the season.

I see Arsenal been the favourite in this game as a trap by the bookies because looking at every Indication the probable chance of draw is way higher to a win, although Arsenal has been doing great in the premier league they still doesn't look too convincing for the champions league because the game in the champions league is actually very tensed and way too competitive than it is in various domestic leagues.

Porto since after their first encounter with Arsenal has continued to still remain firm in their performance and I think they will be able to put Arsenal on their toes by not giving them an easy game to win and looking at Arsenal last performance which they literally struggled  against Brentford, it's like an indication to the fact that their chances to win Porto isn't that great because normally previous games before the next has got a way of affecting players psychology and confidence too except Arsenal is quick enough to snap out of it they seem to be setting into a new slow down period.

A draw will actually favour Porto, even tho the gunners may try not to want to end their champions league journey at this point a draw wouldn't do much for them because they are already a g behind of which they will have to make up for if they must further proceed into the next stage of the game. Porto on the oder hand wouldn't want to jeopardize this opportunity so they will fight to get a draw which will still be in their advantage.

A draw will be to the detriment of Brighton but the advantage of Roma and Roma has been really trying with their performance when they come across teams such as this which shares almost equal strength with them, except for teams that are much stronger than they are then they would now struggle with such team with the hope for a draw and if they be lucky they could win but most recent they have lost to stronger team.

It's very likely that Roma will make it to the quarter finals because they have got the broad edge which can cushion any mistake if they eventually make any at this point but if they make the mistakes of conceding UpTo four goals which I don't think will happen than they may not be able bro further proceed to the next stage of the tournament. Brighton isn't in a very much bad form but generally they have got an average team strength of which their results too will rest within such corridors so I'm expecting that they get a fair play and the best team qualifies.

Even in the premier league Brighton has got a really good position that could bring them back to the Europa next season. Beyond the round of sixteen I think Roma may actually find it really tough getting pass unto the semifinals but then if they do they may stop at the third place because meeting the likes of Leverkusen bor Liverpool or AC Milan is more like a stop for them as they seem not to have the capacity to handle any of those.
