350 runs target would have been reasonable in today's match. The openers of Bangladesh made a good start, they would have easily reached above 300+ runs if the middle order players batted with responsibilities. But the middle order players has shown pathetic performance today. India is going to win the match very easily. India and New Zealand could be the finalists in this world cup.
The way India started batting today, it seemed that India could not be stopped even by 350 runs. The day started well but Bangladesh lost quick wickets at crucial moments and the score went down a lot. Bangladesh were under a lot of pressure due to rapid loss of wickets, under pressure Bangladesh managed to score 256 for 8 in the allotted 50 overs. Although I initially predicted India to win, being a Bangladeshi I expected Bangladesh to win. Here I know that Bangladesh can't expect to achieve such a big dream but I hope if Bangladesh can bowl well then India can be restricted to 256 runs. Because I responded by defeating India in the Asia Cup. With their fourth win in a row, India are now second in the points table. Meanwhile, New Zealand has won the fourth match in a row and is at the top of the points table at number 1. I also hope that in this 2023 World Cup New Zealand and India will participate in the final game.
Virat Kohli's 100 like century ensured India a great victory. Bangladesh started well, but needed 300+ runs to secure victory against India. India won this match very easily. Hope the team will be able to win the World Cup title.

I would say that losing against Real Madrid is not a big setback for Girona. After all Real Madrid,, without a doubt the best team in the La Liga competition. So losing against them is not a huge, unexpected action for a lot of people. And at the same time, even though they actually lost against Real Madrid, they are still at the top of the table and on the second position.
Considering Real Madrid's lack of proper form this season and the consistency Girona had before facing Real Madrid, I expect them to get at least a draw in the match because, for the past two seasons, they have played well against Real Madrid because they won Real Madrid last season, and statistically, before this match, their winning possibility was 50/50 because they both won two matches each and drew one in their last five matches they played together.
 
Nevertheless, losing to Real Madrid is not a bad thing because they are one of the best teams in the league, even though their performance this season is not up to fans expectations due to injuries and a lack of a proper, reliable top nine since Benzema left them last season.


Quote
so I will say that the performance is still good enough for them. They just have to be consistent. And looking at the matches that are coming up, I believe they have the capability to avoid loss. I want to be surprised if they stay on the second position of the table and the point difference between them and Barcelona get bigger.
Their next five matches are winnable according to their current form if they can keep the consistency, and they will be ahead of Barcelona since Barcelona's next five matches are more difficult compared to Girona's fixtures.
I think that the type of team that Barcelona have become at the moment, this team can stand up against any strong team and have the ability to secure victory. I am very confident that the Barcelona team will do great things in La Liga this season.

Arsenal did not score any points when playing away in France,in London in their first game they crashed PSV by winning 4-0 and I doubt Sevilla waits a different fate from that of PSV.Sevilla is in an even weaker form than PSV and they may risk to be drown much further deep and Arsenal may entertain themselves with a lot of goals scored.

I don't see any randomness element or surprise element that would make Arsenal not win this game so I agree with the bookies,most likely there will be very modest odds to them for this game.
Sometimes I'm a little confused about who is the strongest between Sevilla and Arsenal, whereas Arsenal is very clear that in the future this club will be the leader to qualify for the next round, but up to now Sevilla for me is still inconsistent or seems unstable even though they haven't been beaten yet, but there are doubts. comes when I think about how strong Arsenal is in this champions league even though Lens will also be a candidate to qualify for the next round but Arsenal is more worthy.
In the upcoming match it looks like I will have a little difficulty placing a bet but I will wait for other information here to see whatever is happening to determine my prediction and for the moment I think the two clubs are a draw.
The Sevilla team has performed somewhat worse this season than last season. So the coach of the team needs to identify the weaknesses of the team and work on them a lot as the season still has many more matches left.

Another game which is one sided in the World Cup. I mean why we are not able to witness an upset. The match between England and New Zealand was a big upset for England. After that game we haven't witnessed anything similar. As far as I understand there are 4 teams that are dominating this World Cup. You can see thier names on the point table.

Bangladesh did well in getting back into the game. They were once 4 down when they had 81 runs on the scoreboard. As expected Shakib and Rahim were able to form a partnership. Looking into the target, I think it won't be an easy for Bangladesh to defend it.
In the World Cup, not only the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was one-sided, but all the matches were one-sided. The way teams are running in this World Cup tournament, 245 runs is nothing for New Zealand but Chennai's wicket could be a problem. Although batting on the wicket is difficult, collecting 245 runs will not be too difficult for the New Zealand batsmen. Out of the five batsmen in the first row, any two batsmen have the capability to take this match out easily. 

Bangladesh can bounce back in this match if they can get some early wickets down. If Bangladesh pick up three wickets early and keep New Zealand within 40 runs then the next power play will be easy for Bangladesh. But all things considered, New Zealand is definitely going to secure an easy win in this match.
As Bangladesh's top order batsmen were out, the runs were not supposed to come this far. However, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad's outstanding performance gave Bangladesh a target of 246 runs to New Zealand. It will be very difficult for Bangladesh to secure victory in this match without the outstanding performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers in the second innings.

In Group B, there will be an interesting game between Arsenal and Sevilla, Sevilla fired their coach because of the bad performance they had in La Liga in the past and they surely want to get better results in the Champions League too but Arsenal is the team they won the game against Manchester City and in this season, Arsenal had an amazing performance so far which enough to say they won't have a hard game against Sevilla. The last time they faced each other was the Europe League in which Sevilla won the game and now this is a good chance for Arsenal to take revenge.



After what happened to Sevilla and all the problems they had, including financial problems, I see it very difficult for them to be able to beat an Arsenal team that needs to win at all costs.

It is no coincidence that bookmakers agree with me in this assessment. In fact, Arsenal are the favorite team to win.
The Sevilla team has some attacking players who are performing exceptionally well. But I personally think that if the team's midfield is a little stronger, it can support the attack better, so that the team can fight the opposition in the next matches.

@MarjorieZimmermanGinger I personally believe that the key here was Dortmund selling them their key player’s and had Dortmund taken a stand of not selling them then it would have been pretty different for Bayern but then again Dortmund was always interested making money only so not really surprised that they sold to their direct rival. Furthermore other clubs failed because they lacked the winning mentality that Bayern has and until they learn to cultivate it they won’t win the league title.
Bundesliga belongs to Bayern Munich because they've proven beyond doubts about their stand over the decades, we understands how dominated the team is and have inflicted frighten minds on their opponents when they clash. Borussia Dortmund would have been in that position but the team's board is all about making hugh profits from the sales of talented players in the club. Having no stands to fight with the Bavarians for the title because there's absolutely no current players left to fight, all have been sold to elite teams, I think is high time they start using these brilliant players to fight for Bundesliga title.
Dortmund have sold their key players so they won't be upset at all because it's their business. Dortmund play on the emotions of their supporters. Whenever they see a talented player in their club they sell that player to another club at a high price. Jude Bellingham is not the first talented player that Dortmund have sold, the club has sold many talented players before. Trading is not wrong but should get the most out of those talented players and then trade them. If Dortmund had kept all the talented players they have sold so far and focused on improving the club's performance, they could have been the best in Europe by now. We will see something similar from this club in the coming seasons as well. They never play for honor their main objective is to earn money.
Dortmund's performance is not that bad. Im not seeing if selling the players has been preventing dortmund from moving forward. In fact, dortmund can still play better from one week to another week. Im thinking that if what you are saying was not true.
Dortmund has not yet faced hard fixtures and the club is still achieving a very good result as still being unbeaten till this time. Dortmund sees it as the possible business to be running on.
This is also making the club forced to sell its important players. Dortmund needs also to keep its financial to be stable. Using the income from selling merchandise or playing in bundesliga was not enough to make its balance sheets become stable.
This is also the reason why dortmund keeps try to sell its important players. I shall give applause to the scouting team of this club. It makes dortmund was able producing a lot of talented players.
The performance of the Dortmund team can not be called very good and can not be called bad they are currently in the middle position. But last season this team performed exceptionally well in the end. As there are many more matches in this season, it can be expected that the team will return to their best performance in a big way.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 12, 2023, 03:31:44 PM

I think Sevilla should not rush in sacking Jose Luis Mendilibar. Because Mendilibar was actually an important figure who brought big changes to the Sevilla squad last season. Sevilla even avoided the relegation zone in Laliga and managed to win the Europa League title with Mendilibar.
Even though Sevilla haven't shown a good performance this season, I still think that giving more time to Jose Luis Mendilibar would be much better. Because currently Sevilla also has an important match in the Champions League. And of course changing the current coach is a bad decision.

Even if Diego Alonso could become a good coach for Sevilla, improvements will not occur instantly. Everything definitely requires adaptation and is quite a long process. And actually, Sevilla currently doesn't have enough time to adapt to a new coach. Because a busy match schedule and a change of coach will only make things worse.

Sevilla in the Champions League currently has not experienced a defeat nor has they won. Two matches only ended in draws. And I think that's still quite better than losing. But I'm also curious whether Diego Alonso will really make a drastic improvement in Sevilla's performance or if it will actually get worse. Let's see.
Personally I don't think Sevilla have a coaching problem so they shouldn't be in a haste to sack Luis Mendilibar considering how well he has performed so far in with the team, last season he helped them finish reasonably in the league and even qualified for the UCL something that initially felt difficult for the team, so he is considerably still worth giving some time maybe he could improve.

Although Sevilla hasn't been at their best this season but they aren't at their worse either and the season is still yet halfway so there is still enough room for improvement, he should only improve in his tactics and his formation, they may most likely start getting some wins enough to take them up the table again. The frequent change of manager could affect the teams performance and this time it may most likely not turn out really fine as the teams is already getting along with their currently manager, any changes will mean a start all over again and this is not healthy especially for their position in the UCL.

I am pretty sure that Diego Alonso is the new coach of Sevilla. I am not sure if this was a good decision or not. But I am sure that they were not performing as well as they should.  The only saving price for the coach was that they were able to win the Europa League title the last season. But now we know that they are performing in the Champions League competition. And there is no way they are winning the Champions League.

At the same time the way they are playing right now, they also don't seem to be winning the La Liga title as well. If the decision was actually an improvement or not,  we will be able to know that later. And I absolutely agreed that improvements are not going to come instantly.
I don't care too much about Sevilla's performance but at the start of the season I thought Barcelona and Real Madrid would start well in La Liga and they would go on to compete brilliantly. But although Barcelona team is performing well, I think Real Madrid team is not able to perform as they want.

I feel sad about Manchester United who seems to be this season they have no chance to get out of the CL group stage this season. They have suffered two defeats on two game occasions. This is very far from the expectations of most people, on a Manchester United paper, it is able to play more impressively and get an easy victory in Group A, the only one that is the toughest opponent is Bayern Munich, but the fact is Manchester United are also defeated by Galastasaray.

Furthermore, Manchester United will fight Copenhagen who is a representative of the Denmark League Super, if Manchester United can be held or defeated by Copenhagen it will not be easy for Manchester United in the future, Ten Hag and his team experience so severe decline for the beginning of the season. Undecided
It is clear that Manchester United is too bad in the Champions League at the moment with its two defeats, but the other 3 teams representing the Premier League seem to have better hopes in their respective groups. Manchester City and Newcastle lead groups F and G, while Arsenal, who lost against Lens, should be in second place in group B for the time being.

It feels increasingly convincing that Manchester United are just not ready to compete in the Champions League this season and they will drop into the Europa League. The defeat to Galatasaray was embarrassing, but that is the harsh reality they experienced. Improvement is always hoped for, but Ten Hag failed.
Yes, only Manchester United is experiencing poor performance in the Champion league, oh no, even in the domestic league in the EPL, Manchester United has experienced a significant decline.
Yes, three of the EPL representatives have a high probability of qualifying from the group stage.

I don't know why this can happen to Manchester United, as far as I know they don't have internal problems or anything that interferes with their performance, with the current results I agree with you that it is likely that Manchester United will be relegated to the European league. Ten Hag must fast a lot and regroup strength to continue to improve Manchester United back to their best performance, I think the nickname red devils has been lost this season.
I think there are some structural mistakes in the Manchester United team which the coach of the team has failed to correct so far. First, find out why the team is performing poorly and then work on them. I think Manchester United team management are working on those things.

Abha Club needed a stoppage time goal to draw their game against Al Nassr in the Al Nassr's home ground which was one the biggest surprises in the Saudi Pro League this season. Two early goals from Otavio and Talisca in the first half made many to think that it'll be an easy game for Al Nassr only for the visitors to come back and earn a draw from the game.
Many people who placed their bet on the game had predicted that Al Nassr would comfortably win the game only to be disappointed by Abha Club's fight back. Great result for Abha Club

that's because statistically Al Nassr should win. They appeared convincing in the first half, but in the second half, they experienced many problems in finishing. many wasted opportunities.
but look at the Odds situation offered in this match. betting on AL Nassr is not a profitable bet. but if many bet on AL Nassr, they should regret it.

Now AL Nassr's points tally is still quite good, they have the same points as Ittihad and AL Ahli. only a few points of difference between AL Hilal and AL Taawon.
Al Nasr is a perfect club for Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo's decision was unbelievably good as he joined the Saudi League and colored his late-life career remarkably. And his team is in an incredible position in the Saudi league and managed to win the title.

Dortmund vs Union Berlin.

matchday which will be held in less than an hour. this match will be a very important match for both teams, especially Union Berlin, which experienced a downward trend at the start of this season. In the first 2 matches, Union Berlin won the match smoothly. However, after that match, Berlin experienced a decline in performance with 6 defeats in two different events. 4 in the Bundesliga, 2 matches in the Champions League group phase. Currently, Urs Fischer's squad is in 11th place in the standings. In order for them to increase their standing in the standings, there is no choice but to overthrow Dortmund in this meeting.

On the home side, they have a big chance to get full points in this match. considering that Union Berlin's performance is in disarray, Terzic must take advantage of the momentum to get full points to maintain his ranking or shift Stuttgart's position if they lose against Wolfsburg. From the player's side, it is doubtful that Sabitzer's status will be able to play or not. or, he will start from the bench. As for R.Bensebaini, he will be absent because he is still serving a suspension due to a red card.
For the line-up, there are several possibilities that Terzic can implement. referring to the predicted line-up, Terzic can use a 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-3-2 pattern. What is certain is that these two patterns have different systems.
as for Union Berlin, they tend to use a 3-5-2 pattern. but what is certain is that we will just have to wait for the match to start.

Referring to betting, Dortmund with @1.67 and while Union Berlin @4.70. There are other options if you want to get high odds, but to prevent too big a risk the 1x2 option for Dortmund is quite ideal with @1.67. Worst case scenario from my estimation, the final result of this match is 1-0. or, a narrow result for Dortmund's victory.

Finally a real "test" for Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
Util now they only played scrubs and even then didn't show anything yet. Let's see how they will show up against a common UCL team.
BVB fans are still waiting for the first real signature win of the season. Sure they have 3 wins already but all were against weaker teams and not very convincing.
A, let's say, 3:0 against Union would look very nice and it would for sure be a huge confidence boost for the next weeks to come. You want to go with a win in the national team break, so finally show up and get it BVB!!

The Dortmund team performed exceptionally well last season but unfortunately they failed to secure the title. Since the beginning of this season, the team has been trying hard to do well. However, the performance of the team is not stable. Hopefully the team will try to find something great this season.

Arda Güler the Turkish player from Real Madrid joined this team during the summer and they tried hard to hire this palyer instead of letting him to join Barcelona because both teams wanted to hire Arda Güler. After he joined Real Madrid he could play in many games he was mostly injured. Now the good news for Real Madrid is that this player has recovered and now he is back to team training.



Well, hopefully Arda Güler will really be able to develop his potential at Real Madrid because after all, if Arda Güler cannot play well then of course Arda Güler will not be long at Real Madrid if he does not have a good contribution . Because after all, from the beginning at least Arda Güler predicted to be able to play and contribute well to Real Madrid but in fact, Arda Güler actually suffered an injury which made him have to recover his injury first . After all, the reality is that Real Madrid performance so far is still fine without involving Arda Güler but ya, hopefully Arda Güler can adapt well and also adapt quickly, because to become Real Madrid main player is not easy . Therefore, with his age still young, it has become a necessity for Arda Güler to develop well at Real Madrid, of course to get a place in Real Madrid main squad.
The condition of the Real Madrid team is not very good. I think the coach of the team is very worried about the attacking side of the team. Because the team has seen great problems with the finisher in the attack. I think Barcelona will do great things in La Liga this season.

It seems that Real Madrid will win easily even though they are playing away from home, Napoli doesn't look good so I don't think this match can be a draw, but there will definitely be one who gets full points in this match, because Napoli is not competitive in several matches here.  Serie A, of course Real Madrid will take advantage of this, and the Real Madrid coach knows very well how the Seie A League plays, so in my opinion this match will benefit Real Madrid.
This is the Champions League which is sometimes always difficult to conclude because on the one hand Napoli will play against Real Madrid at home with very good awareness that Napoli will play very well and also carefully. Because Napoli knows that this time's opponent is a very good team so Napoli will try to excel in today's match, as well as Real Madrid who will try to get full points at home to Napoli and today's match will not be taken lightly and easily by Real Even though Madrid is always good when competing in the Champions League.
UCL action resumes tonight, and it promises another exciting battle. Real Madrid, the Champions League KING, are always strong contenders. Napoli, aiming for their first victory, seem underrated considering their historical head-to-head record. In their last two matches, Napoli hasn't secured a win, while Madrid secured win both times. Today's clash between Serie A topper Napoli vs Champions League powerhouse, Real Madrid.

Napoli seems to need to work even harder in getting three points from real madrid. Madrid is coming with the same squad as last season, but the only thing that makes it different is if there were some new players like bellingham and joselu.
There have no been numerous changes happened with real madrid. I think that napol could still use the result against madrid last season as an evaluation for the club to beat madrid.
The odds between madrid and napoli are the same and things are very hard to predict since real madrid has had good head to head against napoli. Many people are still feeling so dilema which club to pick in this match.
Btts looked like a reasonable choice for this match. It is my opinion that even if Napoli were to win against Real Madrid, it is highly unlikely that they would do so without conceding a goal due to Real Madrid being a team that is full of surprises.

The club can make its comeback anytime.
The Napoli team managed to perform well last season. However, this season they are trying to play a great role in the Champions League, which I can understand by seeing their performance. But I believe that if the team's attack is a little stronger then the team will do well this season.

I feel Real Madrid have great potential to end up as the winners of the laliga as they are really doing great, they started the League on a very good grounds and have ever since kept the energy and continued to scale up the standings making sure to never go down as seen by their results so far in the league. But then I'm very concerned about the UCL as it could be a reason Madrid may not end up the winners of laliga.



Sorry but I think that Barcelona will win La Liga this season. Even though they have had 2 draws, their overall game is very consistent. Barcelona has scored 19 goals and that is the most in the league at the moment. I don't deny that Madrid is a strong candidate to win but I predict that they will be ranked 2nd or 3rd in the League. Girona is not as strong as Barca and Madrid, but their current quality is worthy of considering them as competitors to Madrid and Barca, but this season it is very impossible to win the title.
I am also very optimistic that the Barcelona team is performing the way they need to secure the La Liga title this season. Because the dedication of Barcelona team players is much more than other teams in La Liga. So that every player is performing exceptionally well.

Wolves beating the defending champion Manchester city, is something I didn't see coming, I believe a lot of people too didn't.
That's just the beauty of the game of football, the two biggest teams in Manchester dropping points to lesser teams today isn't funny at all.
For Manchester city, I would just say wolves where just lucky, but crystal palace played brilliantly that first half of the game, as Manchester United where the good side at second half but then palace had the day.

I least expected this as it was really surprising to me that wolves who hasn't been at their best this season could defeat the champions of the league, they actually won the first half and Manchester city couldn't get an equalizer for the first half of the game, wolves although isn't a weak team but it wasn't expected of them to have won this match.

Manchester city managed to get a goal in the second half of the game. I was expecting a comeback from Manchester city because they had a good play throughout the game from the first to the second. But then wolves were lucky to have the day, this is making the league become really interesting as all this stands as suprises, to further make it fun it is coming at this time when we think the big boys are at their best.

Crystal palace did put up a very strong resistance against Manchester united in the second half of the game as they were very defensive to protect their goal and make sure that Manchester united didn't get to have a draw, it was interesting most big teams dropped points today, not only did they drop points but they did to smaller teams which they shouldn't have but then that's the game of football and anything can happen.
Manchester City is a team that can bounce back after losing a few matches. However, Manchester City's performance this season has slightly declined from last season. One of the reasons for this could be Kevin DeBruiner's injury.

Clermont vs PSG, the last meeting Clermont managed to win at PSG's home ground but in fact overall PSG was always able to beat their opponent with a very convincing score with lots of goals, and Clermont has not won a single win this season, so it can be seen that the two teams are in very different conditions So PSG will probably repeat its great success by beating this home team with a big score, my prediction is that PSG will score 3 goals or more and there is a big chance for the PSG striker to score a hat trick in this match which will probably be a one-sided match.
The score is still 0-0, both clubs are still plying goalless. Paris Siant Germain controlled the game, but they still struggled to find the back of the net. They haven't fully developed their game either, and Clrmont have so far been able to keep Paris Saint Germain from penetrating their defense further. I think the Paris Saint Germain midfield must work more creatively, because they need to make their attacks more creative to be able to penetrate the defense built by Clermont. Because this is their chance to get 3 full points.
Considering the rich and very quality players that Paris Saint Germain added to their squad in the summer transfer window, I think it very poor to see them struggling to score against a team like Clermont.
Luis Enrique needs to do better for his new club by finding the best playing pattern that'll help bring out the best from his boys or risk losing his job before the end of the season.
The first half of PSG's match is already over. Neither team was able to score. However, in the first half, PSG performed superbly and kept most of the possession. Hopefully PSG will attack well in the second half and be able to score.

~~~
Eddie Howe is an excellent coach no doubt. He has transformed a mediocre team into a strong team. Newcastle do not have a very strong squad, but the team has consistently performed well. The way Newcastle performed in the away match against Milan was really good. The team has the ability to perform well against PSG as well. I say this because Eddie Howe's match tactics are excellent. However, PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. I'd say this match will basically be Eddie Howe vs. Luis Enrique.
Newcastle is playing at home, so I think they will have home advantage as a supporting factor to play better. We know Newcastle and Eddie Howe still lack Champions League experience compared to Luis Enrique and PSG, but that's not a good reason to underestimate them completely.
However, I don't doubt that PSG is the favorite team to qualify for the round of 16 this season, even if they lost Kylian Mbappe due to injury against Marseille a few days ago. Mbappe's absence will affect PSG's winning probabilities, but that's not entirely a measure of why we should ignore the form of a replacement striker. Gonçalo Ramos scored 2 goals in his last game, so he shouldn't really be underestimated.

Compared to Luis Enrique and PSG, the Newcastle team and Eddie Howe are inexperienced on a platform like the Champions League. Experience is very important in a competitive platform like the Champions League. Still, it's good that the Newcastle team is performing as it is. I think they will play defensive strategy and try to secure 1 point from the match.

I forgot that Mbappe is going to miss this match. And if Mbappe misses this match, it will be very difficult for PSG to beat the Newcastle side. First of all I would say PSG attack is pretty weak except for Mbappe. The performances of Dembele, Asensio and Ramos have been erratic. On the other hand, Newcastle's defense is very strong. I wouldn't consider PSG as favorites if Mbappe is absent in this match.
Manchester City's loss to Newcastle was a sad one. However, competing against Manchester City like this and securing a match win will give Newcastle players great confidence. However, the Newcastle team are doing very well at the moment and are trying to improve themselves in a great way.

Anyone here betting on Roma? I hope you don't do that. Grin

As we know, Genoa just humiliated Roma in last night's home match which left Jose Mourinho's troops unable to move and were beaten with a score of 4-1. In fact, even though Roma dominated the match, their defense was so chaotic that it was very easy for Genoa to score 4 goals against them.

On the other hand, no one thought that Roma would lose in this match and looking at the results they achieved in the last few matches, this result can be said to be very unstable. Moreover, this result meant that Roma had to be stuck in 16th position again this week.
I think many people bet on AS Roma in that match. Even I personally am also included in it. To be honest, I didn't even suspect that AS Roma would lose in this match. The worst result I expect is a draw. I didn't watch this match in full. I only watched the second half. And I was surprised because it turned out that Roma had lost 2-1 in the first half. But I think that Roma will turn things around in the second half. Because Roma's ball control is also quite good. But it turns out I was wrong. And yeah this is really disappointing. Genoa apparently should not be underestimated. It seems that the 2 teams promoted from Serie B this season are quite high quality. And we should not underestimate it.

After this match I have decided not to bet on any Roma match again. I would have no regrets that Roma were defeated. Unless they conceded a humiliating 4-1 defeat. The team played very badly. After falling behind in the first half, I thought the team would make a comeback in the second half. But their performance deteriorated further in the second half. Genoa's attack is not strong. The team did not attack too much in this match. However, Roma conceded four goals. The performances of Roma's attacking players as well as their defenders have also deteriorated dramatically. I have no expectations from this team this season. Although Mourinho is one of my favorite coaches, I would still say he failed with Roma.
The last match of the Roma team performed very poorly. This kind of performance from Roma team is not really expected. The team performed fairly well last season. Hope the coach of the team will be able to do something good.

If we look at Real Madrid's overall matches this season, it seems like they have never won in a convincing way even though the opponents they have faced are quite weak.
They deserved the victory against Las Palmas because these two teams have quite a significant difference in quality, but it must be admitted that even though they won, the performance of the Real Madrid team was still not satisfactory.
In the next match, Real Madrid will face Girona, I think it will be a very difficult match and it is possible that Real Madrid will suffer another defeat because Girona is currently in very good form, and this is in contrast to Real Madrid which has a lot of problems.
It's true that I agree that Real Madrid has had a little difficulty winning games this season, several of their key players suffered injuries at the start of the season being the main factor. However, now that Vinicius is available again, the Los Blancos squad will have additional energy on the wings and not be completely dependent on Bellingham. As we know, Madrid really needs an ideal number nine, maybe it will come true in January when the transfer window opens.

But I think otherwise for Madrid next match against Girona, I'm pretty sure Ancelotti squad can beat Girona. Maybe this is the time for Girona to experience their first defeat of the season, it's true that Girona has an unbeaten record and is at the top of the standings at the moment, I think it's natural because they haven't met a tougher team. But Madrid is a nightmare for them, we'll see how the match goes.
Aside from the impact of multiple players injury for Real Madrid we still have some other limitations that have dragged the club backward in the past and still affecting their present standing although the club is gradually recovering and at that we must give them some commendation from the outcome of their recent games that have recorded a lot of success in the area of goals recorded.

But then we still expect more positive outcome from real Madrid in the remaining time in the season like what was witnessed in the 2021-2022 season.
From the Real Madrid team, I am really surprised by the performance of the Barcelona team. Currently in some matches Barcelona team is behind in the first half and also in the second half but they are able to either draw or win the match in the last minute. This thing will bring great things to the Barcelona team. Coach Xavi really has to be praised for the amazing Barcelona team he has developed.

The surprising result of Inter's match against Sassuolo which ended in defeat for Inter was a sad result for Inter fans.


It's not a surprise to me, because this is not the first time Sassuolo get a winning results that were beyond predictions when meeting a top team. I personally think that Sassuolo is "the big four killer", and the club that often gets surprises is AC Milan, and its happens from few season back. However, this is an advantage for AC Milan, because currently Milan has the same points as Inter Milan. There is little hope for Milan to be able to provide pressure to Inter Milan.

Yes, it's not a surprising result either, but at least at this moment Inter look like the best team in Serie A, so naturally there are some of them who are surprised by results like this. Because yes, what is extraordinary for Sassuolo is that Sassuolo managed to beat two big teams in a row. Therefore, for me even though Sassuolo is a team that has a good ability to beat teams in the top four. But yes, if Sassuolo managed to beat Juventus and Inter in a row then obviously, at least the result also makes anyone can be surprised because Sassuolo managed to make Juventus and Inter suffer their first defeat this season.
Last season's Juventus team did not perform very well. I haven't followed much of the Juventus team this season so far. However, seeing the news in some places, I understand that the team is trying hard to return to their best performance.

You’re probably right about Napoli. They’re not having the performance they would have hoped. But I did think they played rather well in their game against Braga despite the fact that their second goal which gave them the win was an own goal. They had some good chances but failed to produce goals.
Napoli will have more careful preparation of opponents against them because they are no longer an underdog like the last season. They can go to round of 16 but going farther will be very difficult. They need to play better than the past season, that I doubt they can do it, and a lot of luckiness. An underdog can make surprise when big clubs are careless but with current position of Napoli, none of big clubs will play against Napoli with careless attitude because Napoli is currently Serie A Champions.
For now the position in the big group phase is likely to get them easily, their rival in group C is only Madrid and although they also have to watch out for Union because of their performance in the Champions League even though the first match lost but they are still quite good in terms of defense but Madrid and Napoli are strong candidates to qualify for the last 16 phase.
Napoli's 2nd match is a bit tough because there is Madrid ready to travel to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Technically they play home for sure with great confidence but when the opponent is Madrid obviously this will be different and it could be that they lose so in this match it would be great if they could get 1 point or force for 3 points but if it is difficult then 1 point will not be a problem I think.
The Napoli team is currently performing well. Tried to do a lot better last season. But the team is doing great this season. However, the team's attack share needs to be improved. The team will do well if they play like this this season.
