141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: April 28, 2024, 03:56:03 AM
Really it is a mess if one think in that direction because Gambling is an unpredictable event and for such it can't be rely on to make any significant improvement for financial gains, this is why gambling should be taken as a fun thing and nothing more than that, because if you as a gambler have such mindset to make money from gambling or trying to gamble because you need money....


Such approach will only results into a more severe outcome since you are not certain of the ability to win any bets.
In the event that you're looking for the most effective way to get the most out of your own home, you'll want to look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your own home. And if people who gamble the goal is to improve their financial situation, it will not be able to run smoothly according to what is expected, of course what people want is to gamble and get a win, while getting a win is not easy, even if they cannot control themselves they will fall deeper into gambling which will make them experience even greater losses.
Indeed, it is not natural to gamble excessively, gambling reasonably is what must be done so that there is no greater loss. Moreover, gambling to make money is a very wrong principle. It is true what you said, people who respond to gambling wrongly then their approach will be wrong and lead them to misery only.

The most likely thing that gamblers will do when they lose in gambling is to chase defeat, the feeling of wanting to recover the situation can arise with the defeat that has occurred, but this will not happen with those who really understand what gambling is, if they gamble with the aim of making money and the gambling they do ends in defeat then they may take action to recover the situation, which action is likely to also make them lose again in gambling. Moreover, gambling can indeed affect their emotions which will become overflowing, grudges when gambling ends in defeat can make disaster come.
When they gamble irresponsibly such as by chasing defeat, because that action in my opinion is an irresponsible action, where they cannot accept the fact of defeat so they want to turn things around when defeat occurs. Gambling can indeed give them rewards if they are lucky.

It's irresponsible not to accept defeat as a gambler. Because the game revolves around getting some losses. Players struggle a lot over not being careful of losing in a game. Their thoughts will get so wrong about gambling. As what they wanted is not met and the losses incurred seems too enormous that the gambler wouldn't understand where his flaws are arising from. The game is super tricky especially for the low rollers. Who are deliberately concerned about winning more money in gambling, other than figuring out means of making their experience better. Those times when losses are followed happens to be the worse experience for any gambler. As it's not a feel good moment for anyone. Watching the game playing against you is always painful. And causes anxiety to the player. Thereby accumulating more losses in the process of trying to realize a huge amount of money.

The most important thing is indeed from their wrong thinking about gambling, gamblers who will feel more risk of loss in my opinion are those who misinterpret gambling and respond to gambling where they think they can make money just by gambling, and maybe this kind of thinking is more dominant in poor people, but that does not mean that rich people do not have this kind of thinking. Even rich people can have wrong thoughts like this. But maybe the rich don't really care about gambling because they still feel they have money to spare. But even though they have a lot of money to spare, it doesn't make them not feel upset about the losses that will occur with their gambling.
It is true what you said, with those who gamble to make money, most likely they will be very disappointed with the final result that will occur is defeat, because for gamblers who already understand the meaning of gambling, most likely they will also be disappointed if their gambling ends in defeat, especially with those who gamble with the aim of making money.

It's because an addict will not focus on himself but in gambling alone. An addicted gambler is blinded by his gambling activities that he was not able to see what's really happening to himself. This can only be visible by the people that surround that certain addicted gambler.

Limiting oneself is really what we need. though, it is not easy to obtain due to the urge to continue gambling for some reason, such as taking back losses, being confident because of recent win, etc.. But yes, taking a break is needed, I also do practice this especially if I have a recent loss or if I know I have won enough.
Such possibilities, they will not pay attention to others even with themselves even though it can happen because their focus is diverted only on gambling. It's true what you said with someone who is addicted to gambling is that they are already blinded by gambling so that they can ignore other things even for their own health. The thought that is distracted because of gambling can make them addicted and with that they will not care about the things around them that can happen when they are already addicted to gambling.
Maybe the key is to limit yourself from gambling, because with the limits set I think we will not do gambling excessively or maybe we can avoid gambling addiction. Maybe gambling can be done on the basis of a hobby, only I might be very vulnerable to problems, even with the limits set by ourselves.

It must be very difficult to be a Manchester United fan in recent years, and a team that has changed coaches many times in recent years and still failed to obtain good results, failed to win the premier league, failed to get far in the champions league Europeans and this season they run the risk of finishing in a position that will not allow them to reach European competitions next season. my question: will we see big improvements in manchester united next season?
Facing a team that is in the relegation zone and their status as hosts does not allow them to win, and it was a draw that they got again in this match. Even with the difference between them being quite large, the match statistics are also a draw, this is very difficult for Manchester United.
I agree with you, that Manchester United fans are going through difficult times, they have not seen their favorite team play well in the last few seasons. Manchester United, which was once feared by its opponents, is now an "average" team and many even think they are a clown team now.
I will answer your question. I think if they can't improve on what's happening, then they'll be the same. Even if we compare it with last season, they actually experienced a decline, because last season they managed to break through to go to the Champions League. Even though in the Champions League they performed very disappointingly.

The game is starting now guys. It's an away game for acmilan and im hoping juventus will not be doing bottle jobs in this game since it really needs three points. The old lady will play with two strikers with 5 midfielders. It may help juventus to win in the home game against acimlan.

Leaso, pulisic and RLC are playing in this game. Acmilan's wingers shall get more attention from juventus caused by they are the biggst threats for the goal keepers. Juventus is now have smaller odds caused by it's an away game for acmilan.

This odds may be changing at the middle of this game. A difficult match for juventus. Still hope juventus to get three points from acmilan or it's potentially to leave from the UCL spot race.
The match was still running with a score of 0-0 until the 55th minute. The match was a draw with AC Milan being slightly better in possession of the ball, but they could not penetrate the defense built by Juventus so far, on the other hand Juventus could apply pressure, at least they could create better statistics in attack.
I think if their game doesn't change much until the end of the match, then they will end this match with a draw. Yes, that's probably the best result for these two teams, because they actually don't have any significant differences.
But with the remaining time, it was still enough for both teams to give something good to them. They can use the 30 minutes of normal time to get the best results in this match, but it is quite difficult to predict who will be able to utilize the available time, whether it is AC Milan or Juventus. Let's just see this match until the end.

Augsburg vs Werder two teams have entered the field to play in today's match in Germany League. Now Werder team is leading by 2 goals between the two teams. The performance of the players of the Augsburg team is bad for which the Augsburg team has not scored any goals in this match. The players of the Werder team  R. Schmid scored the 1st goal in the 52nd minute and M. Ducksch scored the 2nd goal in the 61st minute. It looks like another goal will be scored by the Werder team in a very short time.
This crushing defeat was quite disappointing for Augsburg, because they suffered defeat at their own headquarters and in fact they were quite the favorites in this match. Not only did they lose in terms of scoring, but they also lost in terms of creating chances, so this was a worthy win for Bremen. Augsburg could only create 1 kick on goal, out of a total of 13 attempts they made.
In the first half they played with a draw, but in the second half Bremen played much better, so they were able to ensure a very convincing victory. This result meant that Augsburg could not take advantage of their opportunity to shift their position even better. In fact, if they could win then they could be in 7th position in the standings, displacing Freiburg, and they would be closer to Frankfurt who are in 6th position. However, they could not take advantage of that, so their position did not change in the standings.

Predictions that Real Madrid will win the Champions League could be wrong, just like when many predicted that Manchester City would go to the semi-finals to open up the opportunity to defend the title again, it turned out that Real Madrid made it to the semi-finals, as well as when they face Bayern Munich, a team from the Bundesliga. even they are not favorites in the first match, moreover in the second match, but Bayern Munich still cannot be underestimated and local failure is not an accurate reflection of what will happen in the Champions League.
I think you are right. But that only happens if Manchester City doesn't meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. All fans predicted that the final match would be Real Madrid vs City but it turned out they met in the quarter-finals. I believe in that match even though City are the favorites but Madrid are the second favorites in the UCL this season. PSG, Dortmund and Munich are great teams and I really respect them for making it through to the semifinals. But I think Madrid are on a different level to them. Only a miracle can make Real Madrid fail to lift the UCL trophy.
When two of the strongest teams meet in a round other than the final, one of them will lose and the other will occupy the position with the greatest opportunity, and now Real Madrid is in that position. Manchester City was previously the biggest favorite, but Real Madrid was able to break them, and now Real Madrid has taken over Manchester City's position as the team with the greatest chance of becoming champions.
I think we all have the same prediction about who will be champions this season, yes that is Real Madrid. We have clear reasons for predicting that Real Madrid will become champions. I agree with you that Real Madrid is now at a different level than the remaining 3 teams.
But they also shouldn't underestimate anyone, because this is just talking about opportunities, and it could be a different story on the field. they should not be complacent because it is just a prediction about their chances.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 27, 2024, 04:07:22 PM
I think realistic with Chelsea's fans expected with their manager Pochettino giving any tittle for the first season after spending much money and make huge rotation players after sacking many senior players. Its problem for Pochettino not trust yet any senior players in squad and replacing by youth players has higher transfer market values but get inconsistent performance, actually too fat comparison between Jose Mourinho and Pochettino how difficult with Chelsea break to top fourth standings position in this season although become most much money spending recruit new players as Premier League teams.

Seems still has second chance for Pochettino in next season will make Chelsea more competitive to get top fourth position standings or not any change yet with Chelsea performance keep difficult raise to Europe League and Champion League spot place.
Chelsea still needs a process to be truly stable in terms of performance, with last season having made a lot of player changes, it is not easy to be able to compete in the EPL. But if the fans are a little patient next season the results could be much better than now. As a fairly well established English club, Chelsea in the hands of Todd Boehly, has many procontra. The transfer and player purchasing policy is considered a failure. Todd doesn't understand Chelsea cycle so it's not surprising that this season the results are a little unexpected. However Chelsea is still facing the end of the season and can still have a positive impact and is now in 9th place, slowly rising. Last season the Blues were only able to finish in 12th position in the standings, while this season there are still 6 matches and if they are able to finish with 3 points, it is possible to overtake Man United in 5th position.
But the problem is that fans are not satisfied with what he has shown this season. The fans definitely want to get better results than now, so it's natural that they doubt the performance of their current coach. This is nothing new, even with teams that can only compete in the top 5, there are some fans who don't like their coach because they think their team can show more than that.
However, Chelsea also have to consider it carefully, because in the last few seasons they have changed coaches several times, and in my opinion this is not a good thing. We can see their decision when they fired Thomas Tuchel at that time, even though their performance was actually not that bad. But when they made the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel, they had even worse results. they must be able to learn from their experience, because there is no guarantee that when they change coaches they will be better, although there is also no guarantee that when they retain their coach, they will improve even more.

I don't think Roma will be able to defeat Bayer Leverkusen because even in the Italian league Roma is not even in the top four best team for thus season but you can see that of Bayer Leverkusen doing well in Bundesliga,  even in europa league Bayer Leverkusen has performed better in their games.
I don't think so. As a reminder, AS Roma reached the semifinals after surprisingly managing to beat AC Milan, the second ranked team in Serie A. If AS Roma was a weak team because they were not in the top four of the league, they should have lost to AC Milan in the quarterfinals. I don't think we can use the league rankings as a reference. Sometimes some teams with bad results in the league can be successful in the International league.
I'm not saying AS Roma will beat Leverkusen. To be honest, I also predicted Leverkusen would win. But I think Leverkusen also have to be careful because AS Roma could give a surprise like when they played against AC Milan.
I can understand why the OP said that it was impossible for As Roma to beat Leverkusen, because on paper Leverkusen is better than AS Roma. In the domestic league, Leverkusen performed extraordinary, they were able to break the dominance held by Bayern Munich so far, they also did that without once experiencing defeat. So it is very natural if someone says it is impossible for AS Roma to beat Leverkusen.
On the pitch during 90x2 anything can happen, and maybe AS Roma will be very lucky in this semifinal, so they can beat Leverkusen. Even though Leverkusen is very strong, there is no guarantee that they will actually win this match. This depends on how their game will be, whether they will be able to apply De Rossi's instructions well or not. Because of course they have learned all the advantages of Leverkusen, and they will look for ways to overcome their advantages this season.

He was really in the starting eleven in yesterday's match. He didn't just make do with that and he benefited from the opportunity great. He scored the winning goal for his team.  Smiley  He is really trying his best when he gets an opportunity. He must be the man of the match as well by the way. Maybe this performance would help him start finding more opportunities in the future.

But it feels like Arda Güler won't still be able to find a good number of opportunities here. Because before anything else it is very difficult to be in the starting eleven regularly. Maybe Ancelotti would start subbing him on later but the number of minutes might not be good enough. I think Arda Güler would think of a loan option this summer.
A good start for Arda in motivating himself to continue developing his abilities. This is just the beginning and don't think that things will get better, there is still a lot of time and lessons to continue to be learned. After the goal was scored until the second half ended quite boringly, I stopped watching because I was sure the 3 points were in Madrid hands. Arda at the previous club was used to it, but because this is La Liga where the competition is quite tight, there are still many unclear things that need to be learned, the biggest challenge is right in front of his eyes. Opponents in La Liga are also diverse, so being able to beat Real Sociedad does not mean that other clubs can also be beaten easily.

In fact, the bad impact of gambling is one's own risk which must be accepted, because gambling is purely one's own actions so it should be acceptable, but most people who gamble cannot control themselves so they cannot accept it. that impact and want to improve the situation, but the steps they take to improve the situation are wrong, they gamble again because they hope that by gambling again it can make them win so they can improve the situation.
It's true, chasing defeat is a very bad action. It is also not recommended to do that, after all there is no guarantee that we will be able to win even if we take actions such as pursuing defeat. because that is the only action that will put us in even more trouble.

It's not quite clear what a gambler will do when he loses, but most players have similar attitude of chasing losses. The casino I think is a psychological object and players should be careful of their emotions. Gambling is still fun when the player reduces his drive for money. And focus on something less addictive in gambling. Like building a good strategy able to bypass addiction. People get what they go for in gambling. Exhibiting irresponsible behavior in gambling will only bring forth addiction. Same way adhering to a smart strategical method will put a gambler away from addiction. It's left for gamblers to know or understand that gambling rewards them according to their behavior.
The most likely thing that gamblers will do when they lose in gambling is to chase defeat, the feeling of wanting to recover the situation can arise with the defeat that has occurred, but this will not happen with those who really understand what gambling is, if they gamble with the aim of making money and the gambling they do ends in defeat then they may take action to recover the situation, which action is likely to also make them lose again in gambling. Moreover, gambling can indeed affect their emotions which will become overflowing, grudges when gambling ends in defeat can make disaster come.
When they gamble irresponsibly such as by chasing defeat, because that action in my opinion is an irresponsible action, where they cannot accept the fact of defeat so they want to turn things around when defeat occurs. Gambling can indeed give them rewards if they are lucky.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: April 27, 2024, 07:23:29 AM
I myself have never done anything crazy to bet, because I think there is no guarantee of winning and making things better. I gamble appropriately with the money I bet that is what I can afford to lose. and in my opinion those who dare to bet on crazy things like selling property or other things to gamble again, I think they are people who have been hypnotized by gambling, so they think that by continuing to gamble there is a win that can be obtained.
I can't imagine what it would be like if I dared to do something crazy to gamble, for example a gambling addict who has lost all his wealth because of gambling, and he is at the point of frustration by daring to sell his remaining assets such as a house, instead of hoping for his gambling. could give him victory but instead put him at the point of misery. It is really not recommended to do crazy things to gamble, but there have been many cases of people who dare to do crazy things to gamble.

Same here! I'm just wondering, those people who did something crazy about gambling are also those people who really can't control theirselves when it comes to betting, there are things they do that they are not totally aware of, because their minds are only focused on gambling and how to make money or return the money they lost, Because if a person is in the right mindset, they will not create any scandal or trouble in the gambling area.
I think that those who do crazy things in gambling are those who cannot control themselves properly. Because gambling will usually only end in defeat and I think those who do crazy rights in gambling are because they cannot accept the defeat that is certain to occur, and I think they do that because they are frustrated with the gambling that is done, with their frustrated state that might make them dare to do crazy things. Like risking all the money they have in the hope that the last bet is because of frustration can turn things around by getting a win that can cover all the losses that have occurred.
With them thinking they can make money by gambling it is one of the problem points, where such thinking is likely to only make them unable to accept defeat and make them addicted to gambling alone.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 27, 2024, 06:32:55 AM
Indeed, a hobby is something that is done based on one's own desires because it can make us happy to do it, as you said, swimming, fishing, playing games have benefits. But of course everything we do has its own risks, now if we like playing games and don't have a job it can make things difficult for us. because playing games too often, in my opinion, is not good, there will be a feeling of being lazy to move other than playing games. It's the same as gambling, which has a bad impact if you make it a hobby, unless you can control yourself as well as possible, it's not a problem, it's just that many people gamble excessively, which is not recommended.
I myself like gambling, but I don't make gambling a hobby, because I have bad thoughts about gambling if it becomes a hobby. As you said, making gambling a hobby can be dangerous, so if you really like gambling, it's better to gamble sensibly. In my opinion, it's not advisable to make gambling a hobby.
Gaming, gambling - these things need limits. Period. Im not judging those who enjoy them, but I've seen the damage firsthand.  People zone out, lose focus. Addictions happen, believe me. Its science, not opinion. Before you know it, you're not just losing money, you're losing yourself. Im all for winning, for being the best. But there's no victory in letting a hobby take over your life. Balance is key, its what separates the winners from the losers.  Gambling is for occasional fun, not a way to make a living. Anyone with brains knows this. Be smart, be strong.  Success comes from discipline, from drive. Dont let yourself get played by the game. You're better than that.

Actually, it is the right of each individual, because it is their desire so it is their right and we do not judge nor do we question it, it's just that of course we don't want to see the closest people or even our own friends. Therefore, it is not wrong for us to advise him to prevent bad things from happening. It is possible that they enjoy what they do even though it harms them but it is true that you say something that is interesting to us will of course make us addicted like online games or even gambling.
Basically, gambling should be done for entertainment only. If they aim to make money it can actually make them addicted to gambling. And of course that is not a good thing, instead of wanting to be a winner but it does make them a loser, if you really want entertainment I think there are still many other things that can be done that not only make them entertained but may even have benefits.

More than 10 teams have contacted Real Madrid to see if they can sign Arda Güler on loan next season!
Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1783149145815126026

We all knew that he is going to be in high demand, especially for a loan contract and I also believe that most of the team are going to try to go for a "loan with a buy option" contract. But Real Madrid is not interested in losing this player in my opinion. Real Madrid actually sees the talent in this guy and wants him for the future in the Real Madrid club. But I don't know if that is a good idea to keep in the club without actually playing him.  it actually probably was going to be a better idea if they could let him go on a loan and that was also probably going to increase his skill with on pitch experience as well.

Maybe they have plans with him that do not involve him getting loaned to another club. We all know Real Madrid is always very careful about their yield players and also the youngsters.

Young footballers develop better in teams where they have the chance to play more. That's why Arda's loan to a team where he can get more playing time sounds like the right idea. But first of all, Arda needs to find a chance at Real Madrid. Because I don't think there is a public opinion on whether Arda should be loaned or not. This season Ancelotti has given him a very short time. If he had given him a chance in the starting 11 for a few games, we could have a better opinion about him. I think we have an uncertain picture in front of us right now. And Ancelotti is responsible for that.

Madrid is still optimistic about Arda Guller future, and Ancelotti is definitely preparing something for him so Arda has to be a little patient. Indeed, offers from other clubs for loan options are quite good for learning and also adding experience, but what I see is that Arda Guller fans in Turkey will assess it in a different way. This means that the view is as if Madrid had thrown away Arda Guller and that will definitely cause a lot of criticism in the future. Madrid would have nothing wrong with giving Arda the opportunity to play in La Liga, especially now that he is far behind his opponents on points and the trophy could be said to be theirs. For this reason, I hope that Arda will be given time to train his skills in the remaining matches that Madrid has, because that is the only way that public opinion can be maintained regarding Arda status in Madrid.
Continuing to put Arda Guller on the bench is not a good decision, but behind it all, perhaps Ancelotti is testing the extent of Arda Guller patience to continue to ensure he is there when needed. Usually this is done to educate young players to be patient in controlling their ambitions but remain focused on improving their abilities in training.

It is true that this season Bayern Munich has no more hope and will only end up in second place on the standings, but I am sure that Bayern Munich will win again next season. Bayern Munich will carry out an evaluation to improve the strategy that Bayern Munich uses to always win in every match they face.

Why are you so sure that Bayern Munich will play better next season than this season? At the beginning of the current season last year, almost everyone thought that Bayern Munich would dominate the Bundesliga with Kane as player and Tuchel as coach. And what happened? Another team has shown that they can do it better. Maybe it will be easier and better for Bayern Munich next season, but maybe not. We will see.
Last season it was normal for Bayern Munich to predict that they would dominate the Bundesliga again, because last season they had not seen any team break their record for many years and they were the strongest team in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, now we see that they actually failed because there was a team that could break their dominance, that team even beat Bayern Munich, and that was Leverkusen. Next season Lverkusen will still be with Xabi Alonso, so their opportunity to do the same thing as this season will also be wide open.
In fact, I am sure that they (Bayern Munich) will do their best next season to regain their title which was taken by Leverkusen. However, their task is more difficult because Leverkusen has managed to break their dominance so far, so it is not an easy job for Bayern Munich, especially if Leverkusen can show a performance that is as good or better than this season.

Will Al-Ittihad be able to continue its winning trend today? especially considering that the opponent is Al-Shabab and of course this will not be easy for Al-Ittihad even if they play at home. If Al-Ittihad can beat Al-Shabab then they will shift Al-Ahli's position from 3rd in the standings and of course that will be their goal through this match.

Al-Ittihad need to press from the start of the match and they must not relax their attacks even if they want to get a decent result. A 1 goal advantage will not guarantee they can win and they have to finish with more than 2 goals against Al-Shabab later. Apart from that, Al-Shabab will certainly come with high motivation after not losing in the last 3 matches and they will try to steal points from the hosts. My prediction is that with almost equal squad depth, there is a possibility of a draw or it will be a win for Al-Ittihad. So I will take a handicap bet (-0.25) at odds @1.79 for Al-Ittihad.
On paper, Al Ittihad is superior to Al Shahab. However, with the inconsistency that they often show, something is bothering me about how Al Ittihad will play, whether they will play well or not. However, even so, I put them as favorites to win this match, of course with several notes, one of which is that they have to play well and minimize their mistakes as much as possible.
Looking at the defense, they are similar because they conceded a number that is not much different. However, if we look at the front line, of course Al Ittihad has a more productive front line than Al Shahab. Al Ittihad will also play as hosts in this match, which is something that is in their favor. I hope they don't miss this good opportunity to achieve victory with all their advantages in this match. They must be able to make the best use of it to achieve victory which will later make their mentality even better.

Monaco is increasingly flying high in the standings and they managed to get another win against Lille yesterday. I didn't expect that after playing a tough match against Brest, Monaco would still play another difficult match against Lille and were lucky they could still win with a narrow score of 1-0. Fofana was the only player to score the winning goal for Monaco at home and with this result, Monaco sits comfortably in second place in the standings with 58 points.

It seems that Brest will have even more difficulty taking its place back from Monaco considering the difference is 5 points. Moreover, Brest will face Rennes this week, which we know is not an opponent to be taken lightly. I think Brest will still face difficult obstacles in this match and it is possible that Rennes can beat Brest considering that they have the aim of immediately closing in on Lens in the standings, who are 4 points apart.
Overall, this was a fierce match between the two teams, but Monaco was able to silence and send Lille home empty-handed after they managed to score a goal in the second half in the 61st minute. Monaco, who played as hosts, did not miss their chance to win the match. This. They are better at creating opportunities even though they can only create 1 goal, but that is more than enough to make them win the match.
This victory allowed them to widen their points gap from Brest, because at the same time Brest also lost to Monaco. They are now 5 points away, and with 4 remaining matches in Ligue 1, it looks like Monaco will succeed in becoming runners-up this season. Brest themselves were a little lucky because Lille lost to Monaco, because if Lille can win this match, then their position will be shifted from 3rd place in the standings. The competition for 3rd place is getting more interesting because they are only 1 point away and that can change at any time.

In the 34th match we will have 2 matches which will be very exciting to watch. Namely, once again Juventus will face Milan. And in the previous meeting, Milan lost at home by Juventus. And now Milan will definitely try to avenge their defeat at the start of the season by beating Juventus in front of the Juventus supporters themselves. And yes, this is a match that will be very exciting. And another match that I think is interesting is the Napoli vs Roma match. And I am here with confidence that I will have Roma as favorites for this match. Because I see that Roma's consistency is clearly better than Napoli this season.  Smiley

For Milan it is not an important match, they have now secured second place but for Juventus it is an essential match: they must necessarily win.
As a fan I am now resigned, in the end there is little that can be done at this point in the championship. Patience. Well try again next season.
Even though this match will not be decisive for AC Milan, they still have to maintain their prestige so as not to lose in this match. For a team, especially if it is a big match, they will not allow their opponent to win, even though the result of the match will not affect them whether they win or lose.
You also need to remember that every meeting they have will be recorded as a meeting record and they must maintain that meeting record so that they always record better than their opponents. They (Juventus and AC Milan) are one of the big teams in Serie A, they can't just give victory to their opponents, they have to maintain great prestige in order to always get the best results in every match. For me, there is no reason for AC Milan not to perform as well as possible even though they are safely in 2nd place in the standings. Likewise for Juventus, they must continue to do their best in big matches like this.

Sociedad is in good form at the moment, but I don't understand why the bookies make them the favourites to play against Real Madrid... Of course Madrid have a UCL game against Bayern soon, but it seems to me that they will not lose away today... Maybe it will be a draw and both teams will score...
Yeah, it's really surprising.

Real Madrid is win streak, so there's no reason why the bookies need to list them as underdog. They will use their main lineup for this match, although Rodrygo is absent, but that's okay.

Yep, both teams will score is the safest bet, while draw or Real Madrid to win is for risk taker.
The only reason why the bookie gives bigger odds for Rea Sociedad is because they will play as hosts in this match, I don't see any other reason other than that so the bookie puts Real Sociedad's odds bigger. But I also don't understand why they are like that, because Real Madrid is a very strong team, even though they fielded second-tier players, we know that their second-tier players are not much different from their main players. they also just won the match in El Clasico, of course that will boost their morale even better.
They also haven't locked up the title this season, so it's likely they will play to the best of their ability to secure victory in this match. Yes, because if they have succeeded in locking in the La Liga title, they will be more comfortable when playing in the Champions League. I think Ancelotti is also aware of all that, and he will make Real Madrid lock the title more quickly and focus on the Champions League.
