What is there to say here? In the Super Cup final, the favorite is visible to the naked eye. Real Madrid stand out against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Germans lost important footballers in the transfer window without properly signing anyone to at least replace those who left. On top of that, it becam... Show more
What can immediately be said about Real Madrid is that the entire core is fit, including the newcomers.
Madrid have an outstanding squad for this season in all areas. They filled the centre-back position with Rüdiger, and did so for free. He will now compete with the Alaba–Militão pairing, while you... Show more
Stuttgart had a very good preseason. They scored at least 2 goals in every match, and overall the team scored in 17 of its last 20 games. Matches involving Leipzig are almost always entertaining. Tedesco's team plays in an exciting and attacking manner, so low-scoring matches involving his players a... Show more
Rennes are a very impressive team, and that is putting it rather mildly. A team that ranks second for home matches, after PSG, and a team that has overtaken PSG in goals scored at home. In short, Rennes are genuinely a force at home; last season proved that to us, and the pre-season did as well.

Lille's new coach is Paulo Fonseca. What do we know about this coach? He plays attacking football; his teams score a lot, but at the same time he is, in a sense, a pragmatist: he always uses the same lineup and prepares his players for every match with equal diligence, not just the top ones. This wa... Show more
The Mancunians have dreamed of returning to the leading positions ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left his post as head coach in 2013. There is once again a lot of hype around United this summer. Ten Hag has arrived at Old Trafford — a supporter of discipline in general, as well as pressing and attacki... Show more
Leicester won 5 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings. Moreover, 4 of them immediately went Over 2.5. What I mean is that Leicester have always dominated Brentford, and I still don’t fully understand why we are seeing such a high odds price on the home side. They are clearly overrating the visitors.

After Inter were knocked out of the Champions League, their performances and results improved significantly. If we look at the schedule, Inter's is much easier than AC Milan's; in addition, the nominal home team have a game in hand, and a win would put them outright in 1st place. We should also add ...

The home side are making history in the Champions League by reaching the semi-finals of the premier European competition, but things are going somewhat worse in La Liga. The team plays 2 matches a week, which cannot help but have a negative impact on its aging leaders. Valencia, on the other hand, a... Show more
Villarreal could lose all the remaining matches of the season in La Liga, and it is unlikely that anyone would blame them for it. The team has reached the Champions League semi-finals.
They can fight for European competitions, but there is almost no chance, especially given the upcoming semi-final m... Show more
At the moment, the Reds are simply much stronger than their eternal rivals. Although can Manchester Utd really be considered Liverpool’s rival now? If the Mancunians have not started performing better since their head-to-head match in October, then Liverpool can currently be called the best team in ... Show more
I’ll start right away with Manchester Utd’s problems. There are more than enough of them. The main one—the loss of Ronaldo due to a tragedy in his family—I can’t imagine under what circumstances CR7 could play. In addition, Shaw, Greenwood, Cavani, McTominay and Fred will definitely be out. It is al... Show more
I’ll start with Inter. In terms of squad quality and bench depth, they are personally, for me, the strongest team in Serie A. Juventus may have come much closer after signing Vlahović and Zakaria in the winter, but the Nerazzurri are still ahead for me. Of course, their attack stands out: powerful a... Show more
After being knocked out of the Europa League, Atalanta have absolutely no room for error. Either the team makes up for lost ground at the end of the league season, or Atalanta’s failure in the 2021/22 season can be officially recorded. Despite their heightened motivation, stopping Verona’s super-att... Show more
Barça is good, no doubt about it. But on Thursday the team played an extremely difficult match in every sense. At home, they lost to Eintracht and were knocked out of the Europa League, even though they had been targeting this tournament. The match was long and emotional, and ended on a rather gloom...

AS Roma have not yet lost their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, and Mourinho will do everything possible to play in the main tournament; to achieve this, they need to beat Napoli.

Under the new coach, Basel have played 7 matches, scoring at least 2 goals in each of them. A trend that, I believe, should continue. Especially since the team still craves catching up with Zurich. They will play for the win, which means they will attack.

Atl. Madrid have just come off an extremely difficult match against Manchester City. Difficult both physically and emotionally.

Chelsea are furious, and that is dangerous for the Eagles, who in principle cannot surprise anyone at this stadium. Crystal Palace have always been an easy opponent for Tuchel's team. The squad is optimal, the motivation is excellent — the trophy is needed. And the fans were disappointed by the 2 la... Show more
Sevilla failed to score in only 1 of their 15 home matches. In addition, Real Madrid also have some problems. Mendy and Marcelo are unavailable, so either Nacho or Alaba will have to be sent to the flank. This means that the center of defense could be disrupted. Casemiro, Real Madrid’s main destroye...

Marseille are in excellent form, with 8 consecutive wins already. I wouldn’t be surprised if Olympique took points off Paris SG, but one goal from them is enough for us. And considering that the Parisians concede against everyone, it should not be difficult for Marseille to score. Will the visitors ... Show more
Both teams continue to fight for a top-4 finish, which is the priority task for the season. Looking at the entire league table, and their play overall, we can confidently say that both fully deserve it.
The most surprising thing is that both sides have similar advanced metrics, and the same is true ... Show more
Eintracht Frankfurt knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League during the week. It was surprising, as the match was played in Spain. It was all because of the 20,000 fans who came to support their team in another country. The visitors scored 3 goals and held that lead until the 80th minute. The team... Show more

"Mainz" have won six of their last seven matches at home, while "Stuttgart" have completely opposite away statistics — this season, the "Swabians" have won only once.

Borussia M have been pleasing lately; they have started performing consistently, and the wins have come. Gladbach should be able to handle Cologne and, moreover, score against them.

There are only a few matches left until the end of the season, and both teams have fulfilled their maximum objective. At the moment, they are neighbors in the league table, occupying 9th and 10th place. In principle, the teams have nothing to divide, but in such matches they can experiment and stren... Show more
I assume that the attacking line will come to the fore today. Both teams have seriously underperformed in terms of goals scored, given the number of quality players they have, so Both Teams to Score — Yes is an option, but I will take an underdog goal, even if it results in a push.
Manchester Utd are without Varane and Shaw — two starting defenders — and the team has already conceded in 6 of 7 matches.

In previous seasons, Bologna looked more interesting in attack and scored more. But in the latest stretch, they have been poor in attack altogether – 2 goals in 5 matches, and none in 4 of them.

In the first match at their home stadium, Marseille defeated PAOK 2:1. And, to be honest, the Greeks were very lucky.

Eintracht can certainly hold out in Barcelona and take the game to extra time. The team is very solid, often draws, and gives all the favorites a tough fight.
The visitors do not need to come up with anything fundamentally new. It is enough to play the same way as a week ago. Vertically, quickly and boldly. In that case, there is a chance to knock the tournament’s main favorite out. Relying on a goalless draw after 120 minutes and luck in the penalty shoo... Show more
We can assess the probability of an outcome involving Bodo/Glimt not only based on the result of their latest match in Norway. Let me remind you that the teams also played in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. There in Norway, Roma were thrashed 6:1, and Mourinho explained this by citing... Show more
The first match between Leicester and PSV was some kind of anomaly. Usually, the teams play extremely high-scoring games, but here there were zeros on the scoreboard.
I don't believe such a result will be repeated.
In this match, teams equal in strength and motivation will take the field, as the first match of the tie proved. Both teams have experienced and technically skilled players who can decide the outcome of the match. In addition, both clubs score a lot, while they also have problems in defense. Today I...

In the first match, Real Madrid can be said to have steamrolled Chelsea, despite the match being played in England.
