I am still very optimistic about Sevilla this season even though in truth they still have to fight to get out of the threat of the relegation zone due to the difficulty of winning many match. Their performance was terrible and it was very surprising, but I still believe Sevilla can exist in La Liga next season.

Today they will play Celta Vigo, it is a very important game considering that Sevilla is still too close to the relegation zone. Their current points tally is too low at only 31 points in 27 matches, but since Sevilla is playing at home I think the probability of victory will be good. That win against Celta Vigo is mandatory following their first leg meeting against Manchester United in the Europa League before next weekend.

Basically it is not safe for Newcastle to qualify for the Champions League next season because there are still several important and tough matches waiting for them in the rest of the season. But maybe yes, but only if they are able to maintain their current form.

There were at least 3 matches that I think were difficult for Newcastle including against Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea. IMO, in these 3 matches, Newcastle's consistency is in doubt, even though there is no guarantee they can win many matches before or after. Their targets are good, but they will be heavily challenged by big teams until the end of the season.

Not just the fans, but myself putting Lampard in doubt with his second chance at Chelsea. But Chelsea have changed a lot, that must be something in Lampard's favour. The squad depth Chelsea have at the moment is great, but the team needs a tactician who can get those players to the best form. Of course this is one thing that can help Lampard to get Chelsea to get a good performance, unless the players don't understand his tactics.

Lampard's first match was against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium. It's a test that isn't too difficult considering Chelsea's quality, but however this match will be an interesting one because of Lampard's return.

I don't know if Frank Lampard will be really good for Chelsea, but maybe this is just the first step to take Chelsea in a good direction while contacting some of the best managers. This is a second chance for Frank Lampard which he should be able to take advantage of, he has a good job to bring the team to good performance, this is an opportunity because Chelsea are not in a good position.

Even if Lampard doesn't make it, this means he'll only get that short-term termination, but I think he'll stay until the end of the season. There is a chance that Lampard will stay if in fact Chelsea can get in good form for the rest of the season.

I think it's good that Barcelona let go of one of these domestic competitions to Real Madrid and continue to get the focus on La Liga until the end of the season. Of course Barcelona expects a win, but however every team will not be able to avoid defeat forever even though they have won the first leg. Barcelona's game plan was only good for 45 minutes but then Real Madrid took over and demoralized the players especially in the second half.

But regardless, I think it was a fair result because basically Barcelona had defensive problems throughout the second half. They had several goal chances, but Thibaut Courtois and the Real Madrid defenders saved them well. So congratulations to Real Madrid for qualifying for the Copa Del Rey final, they deserved it after their epic comeback at Camp Nou.

You should probably re-edit your post now that Manchester United have scored 1-0. Yes Rashford scored, maybe seconds after you posted. Manchester United played very well so far they really dominated the match. I have no hesitation in saying 3-1 as a result because Manchester United have been good so far at home. Full points felt like collateral for Manchester United today, unless they made the worst mistake.

One thing about self-moderating threads is that the OP can remove any post that doesn't comply with the rules, is spam, or something like that. So even if you both respond to some users who don't read the thread rules then eventually the OP will delete the post after realizing it.

So I don't think it's always good to respond to some rule breakers or who don't read the rules even if your intentions are good. It can also bring down multiple repeat posts in the thread.

Barcelona so far this season is really the strongest team in domestic competition. They are hard to beat, their winning record is fantastic, and their clean sheet record is also worth considering. But regarding the El Clasico match, I hope it will be difficult for all of us to predict it.

Barcelona are playing at Camp Nou, they are also ahead on aggregate and I think that will give them good confidence to do well. The first half has started, Barcelona seems to appear to attack instead of maintaining the aggregate. I think Barcelona will probably win this match, but a draw wouldn't be bad for El Clasico either.

Brentford is difficult to predict even though they did not win their last 2 matches against Leicester City and Brighton.
So far I can think that Manchester United are the favorites to win today's game especially the match being played at Old Trafford.

After all Manchester United have a good record at home with only 1 defeat and 3 draws from 13 matches, so this is what makes me sure they will continue another positive trend at Old Trafford. But a busy schedule can be a separate problem for a player's fitness to get in the best form. My current prediction is 3-1 for Ten Hag's team to win.

OK, that's a common case that probably has a point. But I think this thread is about something else, pay attention to the last point of @lovemayfamilis post, hope you understand it.

One April morning when we woke up I wished $30k was literally on the screen.
Yes, it's not a ridiculous hope to hope for, it seems even more reasonable after last month we failed to get it.

Small swings are likely always there but would be great to get a little more push going forward. Mate, be optimistic we will be in a bull market going forward as the bearish has ended. You are right, ignoring the bearish is the time. Right now we're only $1800 away from $30k, that's pretty close.

I'm pinning a bit of hope on Chelsea in this match especially as they have started a new journey since Graham Potter was sacked.
Indeed, the two teams both appeared unsatisfactory based on the results of the previous match, but in my opinion Liverpool was the team that was hit hardest at that time compared to Chelsea. I say this because Liverpool usually do well against Manchester City, but yesterday it wasn't true.

The odds are also more in favor of Chelsea today, I don't know but most likely Chelsea will not have a big problem to win this game unless the team plays without direction. Chelsea's return in the top 6 is expected, I hope they win.

I didn't watch the full game but I think Tottenham really deserved to win it. But of course Everton did not want to lose and they actually got lucky with the penalty that ultimately saved them from defeat.

As a result, it is very possible for Tottenham to be knocked out of the European zone if Manchester United and Brighton actually get consecutive wins. Of course this is a situation that is not in their favor, but Brighton in my opinion is less of a threat than Manchester United.

I know some people still hope that Barcelona fail to win the title this season and Real Madrid, who are already 12 points behind, step on the gas and win the title. I don't know, I don't think it makes sense even if it's mathematically possible, but it all depends on Barcelona's form for the rest of the season.

Barcelona still has the chance to lose few points, especially if they fail to maintain their good performance so far. The match against Atletico Madrid will probably be the toughest, but it is played at the Spotify Camp Nou which will also benefit Barcelona. There are 11 matches still remain, 6 of which will be played at the Spotify Camp Nou and 5 match away from home.

Both teams had chances to qualify, but either way Barcelona had the advantage actually work in their favor. Barcelona just need to avoid defeat to qualify, either they can draw or they also hope to win. I'm not going to put Real Madrid ahead especially because of the second leg at Spotify Camp Nou, they have proven a lot this season especially against La Liga sides including Real Madrid.

What is clear is that the two teams know each other both in terms of tactics and player character. So maybe there are some surprises to be expected from that semifinal even though there is a possibility of a draw in my opinion. I only believe Barcelona will try to get a goal to increase the chances of qualifying for the final, but I also think Real Madrid has learned a lot from its last few El Clasico defeats from Barcelona.

Xavi has proven that beating Real Madrid both home and away is possible, even when Barcelona lose control of their game. While in the last EL Clasico, Barcelona also managed to look stunning with a win and good game control. Camp Nou will be a witness, Barcelona needs supporters to increase the team's confidence. Even if you don't think so, but let's look forward to it.

Valencia can't lose, at least that's what I thought of their match today. But anyway, Valencia seems to have to be very good in defense considering that Rayo Vallecano is not an easy team to face. So far Valencia have won 6 home matches out of 13 matches, but they have lost 5 and drawn 2. I don't think it's a good record, but it's also not a bad record compared to Vallecano away.

Milan's win actually won't have much effect on Napoli's title chances this season, it's still safe, but Milan's win is important.
Napoli's worries are likely to increase about Milan especially in the Champions League, that's because Milan has the potential to make more of a difference to its Champions League chances.

In that match, Napoli were too weak in defense and they gave Milan a lot of space to take advantage of. Rafael Leão is in great shape, he's really excited about this win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Thus, Milan managed to get a safe position in the standings with 1 point away from Inter and Roma. Indeed, it is not completely safe, but at least the victory over Napoli will change many things from the player's confidence.

This season the strength of the two teams doesn't seem to be much different, but Rayo Vallecano has a good form compared to Valencia. I don't think Valencia will have too many doubts about winning their home match today, I mean Valencia is a team that is likely to win based on the probabilities.

Apart from that, it is very likely that Valencia will play well at home today considering that they really need points to improve their position in the standings. At home, it's the best moment to take advantage of, but Rubén Baraja which we can be sure doesn't think it's an easy match.

You have a different font for the number, so it should be pretty easy to verify that you're fooling someone. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of your yesterday's thread, but I wish I did answer for something similar to what I said above.

But great idea, at least you can fool some newbie who don't really care about the merit system. Next time use the exact same font so someone can hardly tell the difference. 

Without Osimhen, it seems that Napoli is quite easy to lose. Although the match is still quite long, I think Milan will get this match with a win. No matter how favorite Napoli is in Serie A, but Milan like him will not let go of this match without 3 points.

If Milan wins, of course Napoli will be very worried because they will meet in the Champions League. Milan can never be underestimated because they have a chance regardless of who is the favourite, it is very interesting. I'm really not strange to find Napoli struggling to get in form without Osimhen, that player is very important in Napoli's line up.

The match is live right now, both teams looked very excited to play their best game.
PSG are trying to get their best home match following their loss in the previous match against Rennes, but Lyon are a serious team today. Meanwhile, I don't expect this fight to be easy for PSG even though they are playing at home.

It will be interesting to look forward to the collaboration between Messi and Mbappe in this match considering that Messi is constantly being rumored to return to Barcelona. I saw him play the game with totality, I hope he finds goals today as well.

Regardless of who won the match with a lot of goals or few goals, in fact these two teams are both ready to continue the final battle to qualify for the Copa Del Rey final.

It's true that both of them are in good form, but I think Xavi has a good plan to avoid defeat in the semi-final second leg. At least Xavi expected draw for qualified to final, but I think win can also be expected. Now Frank Kessie will be heavily marked instead of another player.
