Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Barcelona would make use of a solid striker right now. There is not much time left for the end of the transfer window and Barcelona must act quicker than this. They shouldn't leave the striker transfer to the summer. They are experiencing big problems on scoring multiple goals in a game and this is why they are struggling in each one of their games in their league. If they solve the striker problem, then they can play stronger than ever. But they don't seem like they will go for a striker now. The Aubameyang speculations are still existing but we will see if they will finish this transfer.
Yeah, it wouldn't be fair to expect Manchester United to achieve a big thing in this season of the Premier League. They should be grateful even if they finish at the third place. Because their performance level is still not very satisfying. Actually they seem to be showing a better performance these days but we will see if it will be continual or transient. If they make it continual, then they can at least qualify for the Champions League. Otherwise, the players also wouldn't be happy about that situation.
When it comes to Juventus, their situation is not that good this time. I mean that their performance is really good lately actually but they have fierce competitors near them for taking the fourth place in the standings. Atalanta are their biggest competitor in this and there are other teams not too far away also like Fiorentina, Roma and Lazio. There are still so many games to be played. Juventus are stronger now with the Vlahovic signing. Maybe this can make them one step ahead of the others about making it.
I'm also one of the people who back Barcelona up for the draw against Napoli here. I'm totally aware that Barcelona are not in a very good shape but they are improving themselves by each one of the weeks in the La Liga. Xavi's strategies are starting to work out better as time goes on and there is still enough time for this matchup too. Barcelona are going to face one of the toughest teams of this tournament but I believe that they are powerful enough to eliminate them.
I guess that the biggest game tonight is Warriors - Nets. I believe that we will watch a great game in Chase Center. Kevin Durant has a long-lasting injury as it seems because he is expected to return after February 24 now. But in this game, Harden and Irving both can play as Irving is playing in away games this season. There is going to be a duel between two duos: Curry-Thompson and Harden-Irving. And I feel like the winner will be Nets' duo. Because Thompson is still far from his old times.
Even if Inter draw with Milan in this derby game next week, they would still be the biggest candidate to win the league championship this season. Because they have the best form in the league now and they still don't seem like that they can be stopped for some weeks. As long as they don't have a bad time period for weeks in the league, they are winning another championship this season. Milan and Napoli must just play like there is no tomorrow to hopefully increase their chance for it.
It must be feeling sad for Hornets as they are going to be deprived of Kelly Jr. Oubre in this game against Lakers. His last performance was just insanely good. They demolished Pacers by scoring 158 points which was really absurd I mean. And Oubre was really impressive by 39 points. But they still have LaMelo Ball. He is a talented player and quite capable also. If Lakers also are deprived of their stars, then Hornets can win another game. They are doing really good by fighting for the playoffs and they are safe for now.
That bet probably was lost for many people, I feel like many people probably wagered on Brazil yesterday and they lost. It happens, it's football, sometimes you end up losing games and you just have to get up and continue like nothing happened.
There is really nothing that could be expected in football when the results are like this, but we could martingale out of it, next Brazil game will probably be a win.
Brazil is the most favourite team of the South American group. They have won the first 9 matches of world cup qualification. But Brazil made 3 draws out of their last 5 matches. Which wasn't expected from most of the bettors. It was normal to wager on Brazil as they are performing very well. I had placed a small bet on them as well. Brazil will play their next match against Paraguay. Perhaps, Brazil will win the match as Paraguay is a weak team.There is really nothing that could be expected in football when the results are like this, but we could martingale out of it, next Brazil game will probably be a win.
Brazil are really the favourite now. I see two favourites in the South America Qualifiers actually. Brazil and Argentina. But Brazil seem to be one step ahead of them. But still they both are unbeaten. I really want to see both of them while performing in the World Cup. I think that Brazil would reach a better round in the main tournament than Argentina. Because Argentina really seem to me like that they are a little unpredictable. They still need Messi to carry them like all the time.
Chelsea make me really devastated by their performance for many weeks. They were doing pretty well with Tuchel's great game plan but they have started performing really badly later. They finally won a game last week which was against Tottenham by 2-0. This must be a morale booster for them hopefully. Because I really want to see Chelsea not giving up till the end. Maybe their chance of being the champions is near zero logically but they can fight for the second place or at least keeping their place.
When it comes to the South America Qualifiers, the Colombia - Peru game tomorrow night is drawing my attention more honestly. Because both of these teams are on the brink of the promotion area. Colombia are one point ahead of Peru now but Colombia's current form is just terrible. They couldn't win even one game for so many weeks and got too many draws. They will surely aim to win this game one way or another. And Peru have a winning streak of two games seemingly. Colombia are the favourite team of this game and I believe in them to win this time.
Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid game is getting near us in the Copa del Rey. It will be really nice to see these two teams clashing again after the Super Cup finale. This time, my favourite will be Athletic Bilbao. 
Maybe it is not a common choice but I want to try my luck with him as I really liked their performance in the Super Cup. If they reflect this effort into this tournament and draw also, then they can really defeat and eliminate Real Madrid also. I see them strong enough to do that.

I see them strong enough to do that.Gradually, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are adjusting. Barcelona has been a very weak team since the previous season. They are weak this season too because they lost some of their experienced players.
We can compare the achievements of Barcelona in several seasons based on the final standings. 19-20, 20-21 & 21-22 (ongoing) Here he is.
From the 3 seasons that I tried to show in the picture, Barcelona managed to score more than 80 goals every season even though they didn't win the title. At that time they still had Lionel Messi and Suarez. But this season they have only managed to score 32 goals in 21 match, it is a result that is not imagined by everyone about Barcelona. Without Messi they can't do much in front of goal, it's a bad thing for Barcelona this season despite still having 17 games to play.
In this season, there is like nearly no player who can continue from where Messi and Suarez left in the league. They are having big struggles to score many goals in a game and this is their main problem now actually. If they were much more effective than this in their attacking line, then they would have been doing a bigger work now. Barcelona should solve this main problem of theirs by signing a top or talented striker. They need a real goal scorer to deal with their opponents much better. But their financial condition is not that good at the same.
There is not much time left for the Brooklyn Nets - Los Angeles Lakers to be underway. I wonder what Nets will do without Irving and Harden both in this game. Harden will have to do the most of the job but I hope that they have a good teamplay. Otherwise, it doesn't seem likely that they can win this game. Actually, Lakers are also carried by Lebron most of the time but sometimes Westbrook are contributing really big too. They really feel Davis' absence now. But maybe they could still manage to win this somehow.
Leipzig are still on the rise and this makes me feel good. Because Leipzig are one of the decent teams of the Bundesliga and we should see them at top positions. I think the same for Wolfsburg too as they finished the last season at a really good position. But now, they are really terrible unfortunately. They lost to Leipzig away by 2-0 last and they are on the brink of the relegation field. They need to start correcting their mistakes immediately. Otherwise, they can even relegate from the Bundesliga I'm afraid.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
PSG have the full control in the league and it really seems like this will go on for so many more years. Lille won the title too while PSG were this good. But this kind of incidents don't happen often in the end. To be able to finish the PSG dominance in the Ligue 1, some other team must be bought by rich people and the team should build a very strong team like PSG. But we don't see this often too. I mean that we don't see many very rich clubs in ever league. And the Ligue 1 is one of them.
It is really good to watch the Premier League even if you're not a fan of any team. The competition just makes people watch the league every week without missing the games of the big teams especially. Actually, nearly all of the games are quite enjoyable to watch. Because all of the Premier League teams have a good potential inside them. They all can play really delightful when they really want. This is the thing we all want to see in every league actually.
At the next match weekend, there are two great matches. These are:
Bayern Munich v Leipzig
Dortmund v Leverkusen
This is one of the crucial and very important weeks for Bayern Munich and Dortmund both. I mean in terms of the title. Bayern Munich are going to play first. Leipzig have been on the rise lately and there is a slight chance that they can resist Bayern Munich somehow. Maybe they could steal one point. But I still see Bayern Munich as the absolute favourite obviously. Dortmund are going to have a really difficult match too. Leverkusen are having a similar period to Leipzig's and they are eight points behind Dortmund. But I still believe in Dortmund and they would win this somehow.

I don't think these matches will be decisive for anything important. At the moment the difference between Bayern and Borussia is 6 points. Even if Bayern somehow lost and Borussia won, nothing is happening that could threaten Bayern in the current situation. It certainly wouldn't be nice for Bayern and I doubt it would happen, but it would definitely not be something cruel.
If this happens, I think that this changes something. Dortmund would have only a three-point gap and this would fire them up more for the next games. And the title race would be a lot more delightful than now. Bayern Munich would still be the favourite anyway but at least they wouldn't get an easy championship this time. I think that nearly everyone is fed up with their conquering the league every single season. It has been so many seasons that I don't even remember the exact count of their title streak now.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
PSG's situation is already like guaranteed. So I didn't watch the Reims game as it would have been boring for me. But to me, the most competitive game was Montpellier - Monaco. Actually, Monaco got more dangerous attacks and goal chances than Montpellier. But this still doesn't guarantee anything in the end. Montpellier still won by 3-2. They got 2-0 ahead but Monaco equalized it later. But the goal in the stoppage time literally destroyed Monaco. Thanks for both teams to make us watch a nice rivalry.
Now hear me out, Manchester United is in fourth place with 38 points, and they don't really seem to advance any further than the fourth place because there is a huge point difference between the teams above them.
But the problem is they cannot afford to lose matches from now on because that team in fifth place has 37 points.
But on the positive side, Manchester United have played 1 less match.
So if they keep winning they can easily hold the fourth position. And there is no question about them improving their game than before. Now they are producing much better results. But I have to say I expected more from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United can keep up a good form actually. Their last two results were really promising to me. Maybe they didn't defeat West Ham easily but it was normal I think. Because West Ham are not an easy target for any club in this league. I remember Manchester City too as they struggled against them. I don't mean that Manchester United played badly in that one. Actually, they were effective and didn't let their opponent have many chances too. If they keep playing like this, they can maintain a good winning streak and an unbeaten one also. And this could help them have a good position at the end of the season.
It started looking to me like Milan can experience the same thing they had in the last season. I mean that they did a good job by keeping up with Inter last season but after some point they started staying too behind. And Inter got a comfortable title. In this year, this is likely to happen again. Milan are losing points so easily lately and this can lead them to lose another opportunity for the title. Inter really deserve it but I would like to see Milan winning it too after a long time.
