Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Lens proved that they are still the same as before and in their last 3 matches they have recorded 2 wins and 1 draw. I think a draw against Monaco is normal, especially since both teams are at almost the same level. Furthermore, Lens must continue this positive trend and their next opponent will be Lyon.
We know that Lyon is still implementing the same concept as last season, but they have only recently won their first match after losing the previous two matches. This will be a challenge for Lyon whether they can maintain this victory or lose again to the host Lens. I think if we refer to H2H, it is clear that Lens will win, but even that will not guarantee comfort considering Lyon is a little motivated. This week we will see many teams shifting each other considering the very small points difference.

Atletico Madrid have made a similar start to Real Madrid in the league by the way. Nearly everything was going to be the same if Atletico Madrid scored one more goal. 
Do you think Atletico Madrid will stay in the title race this season? They have made some good signings for the attacking line such as Sørloth and Alvarez. Maybe Alvarez couldn't improve his performance yet but I believe he will in time.
I would love to see them in it. Even though how much I find Simeone's system boring, I still respect his tactical skills a lot.
With a squad like this, they should also be able to fight for the La Liga title.
Nothing strange especially considering that these two teams are brothers. Do you think Atletico Madrid will stay in the title race this season?

Even though how much I find Simeone's system boring, I still respect his tactical skills a lot.
With a squad like this, they should also be able to fight for the La Liga title.I think Atletico can still compete as long as they have the will and maybe if we talk about their new players it's only a matter of time before everything becomes a disaster for their opponent's defense. Sorloth was the player with the most goals last season after Dovbyk and I think with better support at Atletico will make him a more ferocious striker. As for Alvarez maybe he also needs more minutes and high confidence for a different atmosphere.
Simione is actually not boring, the proof is that maintaining Atletico's position in the top four for more than a decade feels very difficult and since his arrival we have rarely seen Atletico struggle. He can always bring this team to its best performance and it is very appropriate if Atletico continues to give him a contract extension.
As far as I know there are 5 different competitions this season that Real Madrid is playing, namely La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super and Club World Cup, but I think Carlo Anceloti's priority is not only La Liga and Champions League. Anceloti definitely wants the Treble Winners title to create history for himself at Real Madrid like Pep Guardiola did. Real Madrid has a good and complete squad, they must be able to maximize the best results this season.
Real Madrid have a very strong squad this season. With the inclusion of Mbappe in the squad, it can be said that no other team has as strong and stable a squad as Madrid. Real Madrid also has an experienced coach like Ancelotti. So if Madrid want to win the title in all 5 competitions, they have the ability to win it. However, it will be very difficult. But it is not impossible for Madrid. Because Madrid has both experienced and talented players and experienced coaches.
Well, Real Madrid is indeed famous for its unconventional way in football and that is why they are the kings in this competition and if there is a team that wants to eliminate them then it is impossible especially since they have always qualified for the last 16 in the last few years. Their consistency has been going on for decades and that is what made them who they are today.
Hoffenheim should not be an opponent that can make it difficult for Leverkusen in the next match because if you look at its quality, Hoffenheim is different from Leipzig, Hoffenheim is an average club that is trying to perform well but Leverkusen is not an easy opponent for it so even though playing at home Hoffenheim has a very small chance of winning compared to Leverkusen.

I will still favor Leverkusen to win this match even though they just lost against Leipzig but I'm sure Xabi Alonso has fixed his previous mistakes so as not to repeat careless mistakes again, Leverkusen has odds @1.58 to win in my opinion this is a pretty good odds.

If we believe in the accuracy of this assessment, then the odds for Leverkusen to win do not look attractive, after all, the probability of winning is not much higher than 50% and the odds are very far from 2.0. But on the other hand, considering the difference in class, +58% for a simple victory for Bayer looks reliable, since no one expects Bayer to lose points two games in a row, especially against a clear underdog.
Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Another Serie A player who has landed in the Turkish league is Filip Kostic. He has been loaned to Fenerbahce from Juventus and to be honest he was a pretty good player at the beginning of his arrival. Maybe other reasons such as not being included in coach Thiago Motta's plans for this season are strong reasons for his move.
His statistics last season were not impressive at all where he did not score a single goal in various competitions with Juventus and maybe that was an additional reason why he was loaned. Apart from all that, I think he will accept a new challenge there and he also looks very happy. I hope he can find his best performance again during one season with Fenerbahce and that will increase his trust in coach Thiago Motta.
This weekend we will be presented with an interesting match, namely the match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli, as we know Al Ahli and Al Nassr last season did not have much different performances and Al Ahli became a club that performed impressively last season and they competed for second place but in the end Al Ahli finished in 3rd place just below Al Nassr, even so their performance was better than Al Ittihad who previously won the championship but last season finished in 5th place.
However, it seems that this season Al Ahli's performance has declined slightly, they lost against Al Fateh in his second match so I think Al Nassr has a great chance of beating Al Ahli, bookies also favor Al Nassr in this match, here are the odds.
As you said above, Al Ahli actually did not experience a decline in performance, but Al Ahli previous defeat when facing Al Fateh could have been predicted before the match started. Regarding the Al Nassr match that will face Al Ahli, it is actually too early because currently Ronaldo is playing for his country and it is uncertain whether he will appear in the match against Al Ahli later. If in the upcoming match Ronaldo has to be absent for a short rest, Al Ahli still has a chance to hold a draw. But if Ronaldo still appears in the match, it would be better to choose to bet on Al Nassr win -1 with higher odds of around @2+.However, it seems that this season Al Ahli's performance has declined slightly, they lost against Al Fateh in his second match so I think Al Nassr has a great chance of beating Al Ahli, bookies also favor Al Nassr in this match, here are the odds.
Again this is the match between Al-Nassr vs Al-Ahli and it is only natural that one of them wants to win this. The importance of maintaining consistency must be shown by both teams and not to be careless during the match. Although Al-Nassr is quite favored, I think Al-Ahli will not just sit still, especially since they have a new striker, Ivan Toney, who will destroy Al-Nassr's defense if it is still weak as usual.
The international break has been Arsenal's nightmare as several of their players are confirmed to be absent for the North London derby. Some of those names include Merino, Calafiori, and Odegaard and honestly this is not good news for Mikel Arteta's squad. For Calafiori, maybe he was just unlucky because when Italy played against France, he accidentally fell on Dembele's body and it immediately hit his leg so he had to be pulled out. On the other hand, Norway's victory against Austria had to be paid dearly with Odegaard's ankle injury and clearly this is also detrimental to Arsenal considering that this week they will play a tough match.
Arsenal must try hard to win after failing to get three points in the previous match and this time they have to go away to face Spurs. The result will certainly not be beneficial for Arsenal and on the contrary this is an opportunity for Ange's squad to get 3 points. Even a few days later, Arsenal must face another tough match against Atalanta in the Champions League and honestly they will not be completely safe.

But we must not forget that AC Milan has also lost once to one of the promoted teams this season, namely Milan lost to Parma in the second week of the season. So I think everyone is really doubting AC Milan at the moment. But because in the second week AC Milan is playing away, the conditions may be very different from the match in week 4 where Milan will face Venice at the San Siro stadium which is their host. So it seems clear that Milan should be the favorite for the match against Venice. And actually it would be very bad if Milan failed to get full points in this match. because it seems like the fate of Milan's new coach is also at stake in this match. Because if this coach fails to make Milan achieve maximum results then his career at Milan seems to be in serious danger.
IIf Milan loses again at home against the promoted club, it will be very embarrassing and AC Milan fans will certainly be disappointed with the result, therefore Paulo Fonseca must be able to improve his club's performance so that his job is not threatened, the club definitely wants better results than last season, for the Milan vs Venezia match, here are the odds AC Milan is still the favorite of the bookies.
But it seems that Paulo Fonseca is a little confused in setting a strategy because only 3 days after that match AC Milan had to face Liverpool in the first Champions League match, maybe this will be a stressful week for him.
I think Paulo Fonseca must rotate players as efficiently as possible and if possible he must also be able to maximize his reserve players to face Venezia. If later they take an early lead against the promoted team then they must try to defend fully even though it is quite embarrassing. So that when they face Liverpool later they can take over the match with their main squad. The bet for Milan doesn't seem bad but it must also be noted that this will be a tiring match.
Barcelona is still leading the rankings, this shows that Barcelona's performance has changed quite well, because previously they had quite serious problems but they were able to get through them well. Although this can still be said to be early in the season, this is better for those who can be in the top rankings.
I think Flick has been quite successful in nurturing these Barcelona players who are as they are with the current results they can still maintain their victory because they show quite extraordinary performance. And it seems that Barcelona is now ready to compete and face Real Madrid who are undoubtedly with their performance.
LaLigaFRA
At first we knew that Barcelona was quite doubtful under Hansi Flick but slowly but surely everything was successfully passed smoothly. Maybe Barcelona will return after last season was quite chaotic and in the competition for the title with their rivals it will be more tense. Barcelona is happy if Real Madrid is still struggling below and the current points difference provides fresh air for Blaugrana.I think Flick has been quite successful in nurturing these Barcelona players who are as they are with the current results they can still maintain their victory because they show quite extraordinary performance.

LaLigaFRA
They must maintain the winning trend so far, especially if you see Lewandowski who has returned to his original form will make Barcelona more confident in securing victory. Lamine Yamal last night also provided an assist for Joselu's goal in the Nations League match against Switzerland and that will increase his confidence when he returns to Barcelona later.
Anyway, there is less good news where Dani Olmo suffered a knee injury when Spain played Serbia and last night he could not play against Switzerland and this will be quite a loss for Barcelona losing their attack creator.

Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
https://dailypost.ng/2024/09/08/epl-arteta-reportedly-ended-arsenals-interest-in-osimhen-after-public-spat-with-finidi/
I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.
I also heard that Osimhen has parted ways with his agent and he blames his current situation on the agent's poor handling of his transfer. However, if you want to be a star then you don't need to complicate your own future and focus on fixing your less than professional attitude. When Osimhen returns from Napoli I'm not sure the offers will be as abundant as before.
Al Nassr has tried to strengthen their defense. Currently, they signed Mohamed Simakan, he is a new center-back for Al Nassr. It seems Luís Castro wants Laporte-Simakan as the main center-backs for this season. But sadly, they have no strong defenders in right and left backs. Alex Telles left the club and Al Nassr can't sign another new European players. They have 10 foreign players now, they are unable to sign new non-Saudi players.

I still wonder why Al-Nassr chose to terminate his contract with Alex Telles to be able to bring in Mohamed Simakan, even though they know that there are not enough wing-back options available at the moment. Maybe Mohamed Simakan can be used as a wing-back too but he will not be as fast as Alex Telles in helping the attack and the rest he is only strong in defense.Related sources:
- https://www.transfermarkt.com/al-nassr-fc/legionaere/verein/18544
- https://www.transfermarkt.com/al-nassr-fc/transfers/verein/18544
The restriction on foreign players is also a factor that must be obeyed by the Saudi league team and now Al-Nassr certainly only depends on the depth they have. Maybe they can still play optimally but I doubt this will bother them enough, especially if they still concede a large number of goals during the season there will definitely be another overhaul in the upcoming transfer market.

At the beginning of this season, Real Madrid was really unlucky because the list of injuries to their players continued to grow, even though they still had some players they could rely on, but Carlo Anceloti still had to rearrange his strategy, especially since this season they would be busier than previous seasons. The players would experience fatigue and, perhaps, at worst, injury, so the coach had to be smart in rotating players so that they could continue to fight until the end.
Unfortunately, this is not surprising - last season was too long for Real Madrid players, considering that modern footballers are already playing at the limit of their capabilities, such abnormal loads make themselves felt. It is clear why Perez wants to assemble almost two squads - for top clubs this is a necessity and not a whim. If we are to be positive, we must remember that last season for Real also started with a large number of injuries, but in the end everything worked out and the season turned out to be excellent.
Maybe some teams that will be Real Madrid's opponents feel very advantaged by the many key players who are still injured but if they are careless it will only destroy them. The rest of these teams must maintain their concentration during the match and not make Real Madrid angry when they score first because there will always be a comeback that Los Blancos usually do in every difficult match.
Man United actually already has a good defender like Leny Yoro but unfortunately the problem that MU experienced last season happened to the player who was injured.
Good? In terms of which statistics? Yoro has never played more than 2 games for Man United due to injury. And in his first appearance against Rangers it was not something we can judge overall. So I'm confused how to judge him? I even have trouble finding the source of his achievements. Except from the Local article that said Erik Ten Hag was satisfied, it seems 1 game is not something satisfying if it ends up sacrificing a much more important game due to injury. So there is no "good" rating. So far for Yoro with Man United until he recovers and proves me wrong.Local source
I understand you need real validation for Leny Yoro but unfortunately it has to be postponed and no matter what bad luck he experiences, no one knows when it will come. What is certain for now is that Erik ten Hag can only praise him and let's see what Leny Yoro will do after recovering from injury and of course he must focus on maintaining his body better so that his injury does not recur.
Despite all the factors that tend not to do this, I will still bet on Juventus in the match against Empoli. At first I wanted to bet on a draw, but no. After reading the latest posts on this topic, I was all the more determined to bet on Juventus. Maybe in vain. However, I am now following the strategy of the maximum possible number of small bets, which to some extent negates the "price" of each failure
However, the level difference between the two teams is so far that it is impossible for Juventus to feel overwhelmed. On the other hand, Empoli will still feel strong pressure even as the host and it will still not be profitable for them when facing two strong teams in the previous two matches.Now another challenge awaits them and Juventus here will certainly be very eager to steal full points as an addition to continue to stick to Inter at the top of the standings. As far as I know, Thiago Motta has a better plan with Juventus and maybe we will soon see him in a more serious mode after bringing Bologna to the peak of glory last season. I will also bet on Juventus along with other matches later.
Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
There have actually been several offers for Rabiot but unfortunately he has yet to decide on it at this time. Previously he was linked with Galatasaray but it seems he chose to reject it and now another offer has come from the Saudi league which we know will still be eager to recruit other former European players including Rabiot.
But if we look at Rabiot's view who still has the desire to play in the top 5 European leagues, we think we should give him a thumbs up. He doesn't want to lower his level of play and is also not tempted by a lot of money. Maybe he is thinking about a career that is still the same as before and also wants to maintain his chances of being called up by the French national team.
Where do you think he will go? It shouldn't be difficult for a team in Ligue 1 to bring him in, especially since he has free agent status and only needs to spend money to pay his salary.
The season before last, Stuttgart was close to relegation from the Bundesliga, and before betting on them I would think more about this than about the fact that they were successful last season. Union Berlin also flew high and then fell low the following season. High volatility is the norm for non-top clubs. In the case of Stuttgart, the easiest bets in my opinion are BTTS and Total over. I have also already managed to make several unsuccessful bets on favorites (more solid ones like Real), but now it’s the beginning of the season, so surprises are more frequent than expected results, I take this calmly.
Quote
- Hoeneß at the wheel
- Attacking might
- Shrewd summer signings
- Germany core
- German teams can trouble Real Madrid
Stuttgart is always a very interesting side to watch. They come with surprising talents and rarely stay consistent with the excitement. But in all fairness to them, they are always a very well-managed side. They have a great coach in Sebastian Hoeneß, their squad is great and they always refresh their squad with newer talents.
Now they had a rough start to the season, and things get difficult when you face Gladbach because they do things which are really unexpected. They make football very fun to watch for sure. I personally won't recommend betting for Stuttgart until they find their sweet spot. The squad right now lacks form, which they hopefully can gain in the coming days.
Out of the 18 amazing teams, they are now 14th, which isn't a good look at all. I hope they deal with their issues in the squad, so they can return to good football at their earliest convenience. There is an international break now, which they can use to get the best out of players, also players who are specifically struggling in some situations can recover and see better days on the pitch.
Read all of the 5 reasons here---> Bundesliga Official
It's a funny list of reasons, because Real Madrid have a lot more upside in every single one of those. Of the successes of German teams, for some reason I only remember Dortmund's victory (I think in the quarterfinals of the Champions League); in other cases, Real simply destroyed all German clubs, including Bayern.
Overall, it doesn't matter how Stuttgart plays in the Champions League (I don't think they'll make it into the top 8, but they won't be eliminated right away either, so only the playoffs will matter), they need to improve their situation in the Bundesliga - 6 goals conceded in 2 games is a bad sign.
The last reason from that list should be a joke. Calling Stuttgart could trouble Real Madrid is a joke. Their current stats showed how they're being toothless after Guirassy joined Dortmund. They were losing their sharpness. they have been so poor in bundesliga. also, it's an away game for them
It's a fortune for Stuttgart if they manage to enter the R16. They'll have two intensive weeks. First, an away match against Madrid. Then, a home game against Dortmund.
I think those two weeks will still not produce any points for Stuttgart, the fatigue of thinking about two competitions that have not been able to improve their fate is one of the reasons they will not perform optimally. Rather than thinking about the chances of the champions league towards the last 16, I think it is better for Stuttgart to think about how to avoid falling into the relegation zone.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
For upcoming match PSG will fight against Brest and last season actually Brest performance is really impressive they even can able reach to 3rd place at the end of season but this season Brest had poor performance even on week 1 Brest was humilliated by Marseille with huge scores 5-1 and i think they are unlucky because this weekend Brest have to met PSG and just like we all know PSG is really fantastic and without Mbappe they have been change more solid than last season so i think this could be easy win again for PSG and here is the current odds for these teams
PSG @1.32
Brest @8.60
Draw @6.00
Considering Brest has poor defense because their records from 3 latest matches is conceded 7 goals i think there is potention PSG will be able to win with big scores again from this match so for betting option over 3.5 goals seems good too
So far the average goal scored by PSG in their last 3 matches is 3 goals and indeed this team is very solid especially since they fought very hard to secure the top position at the beginning of the season. If we look at the comparison last season they were not like this and now PSG is much more dominant.PSG @1.32
Brest @8.60
Draw @6.00
Considering Brest has poor defense because their records from 3 latest matches is conceded 7 goals i think there is potention PSG will be able to win with big scores again from this match so for betting option over 3.5 goals seems good too
Brest is indeed very chaotic and who would have thought this team would experience such a drastic decline in performance and I think they will not be able to repeat the same success as the previous season. If normal time bets only give small odds, I think there is nothing wrong with betting on the over 3.5 goal result but I also quite doubt that later Brest could have corrected their mistakes and on the other hand make it very difficult for PSG to break into their goal with a big score. So to be safe, I think I will bet on PSG even with only small odds @1.32
Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Will Anthony Martial's career end soon? because he is rumored to be signing a contract with a Brazilian team, Flamengo. Honestly, it was a bad end to his career and after leaving Manchester United, it seems that no European club wants to recruit him. His status is still without a club and that should be used well for any team that wants to bring him in, but on the other hand, the problem of frequent injuries cannot be tolerated and maybe that is one of the reasons that cannot be accepted by any club.
He is still 28 years old and that should be a fairly productive age for a striker, but over the past few years we know he has only spent a lot of time on the bench so it is difficult for him to show his quality. I think Anthony Martial is not as lucky as expected and we can see him very well when he was at Monaco and in his first year at Manchester United.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
There are two teams with 0 points in the league right now. These are Angers and St Etienne which have just promoted to the Ligue 1. Auxerre made a better start than them honestly. They are able to score at least even though they have defensive problems. But we don't see any good defensive or offensive performance from the other two. For now, they are the biggest candidates for relegation. 
In that case, I hope the last team to relegate wouldn't be Lyon. Because their game isn't convincing at all. I don't know how they managed to return to the point they started last season...
For Angers it's just a bad start and I'm pretty sure they'll bounce back in the next game. Maybe not immediately but at least they know that getting relegated will only wear them out. We know they were relegated two seasons ago and then they were back in Ligue 1 one season later and I hope they learn from their mistakes.In that case, I hope the last team to relegate wouldn't be Lyon. Because their game isn't convincing at all. I don't know how they managed to return to the point they started last season...
St Etienne I think are the more likely to be relegated and I don't think even if they had a chance it would be a big one at all. Lyon always have a way of finding something that's missing and they did that in the middle of last season to save themselves from the relegation zone. That could happen again and we know the bigger the problems they have the more confidence they have to win.

I admit Los Blancos had to accept the bitter reality at the beginning of the season because their players were hit by a storm of injuries that were quite worrying in number. It is unimaginable that their tight schedule with a limited number of players will only add to the mounting injury problems. President Florentino must immediately take anticipatory steps, hopefully he will not remain silent watching his troops continue to decrease. In this season's transfer market they should be more aggressive in buying back line players.At the beginning of this season, Real Madrid was really unlucky because the list of injuries to their players continued to grow, even though they still had some players they could rely on, but Carlo Anceloti still had to rearrange his strategy, especially since this season they would be busier than previous seasons.

It is too late for Real Madrid to add ammunition to the back line and currently all that is left are free agent players if they want to recruit them. But seeing Real Madrid's movements who are always careful in targeting players, I think it is quite impossible for them considering the criteria they want is always high for a player.
