In Italian League they don’t have any competition, so this match will help us see how they’ll perform in champions league. Atletico Madrid has a strong team, but they’ll be defeated by Juventus who have world class players like Ronaldo, De Ligt and others. Juventus players better start getting used to Sarriball otherwise they will loose their grip on the league, and Sarri will loose his job.

Never like this year, Inter made a great team.

Juventus is making a lot of changes, this year can be a surprise for any team in the league.

Today will be the last match for Juventus vs Atletico @18.00 CEST time.

This is the final "hard" test before the start of the season, let's see if the Sarriball started to hit players.

I took a really odd parlay today with a mix of favourites... United is 1. Sevilla, Chelsea and Roma are my other 3 picks. Sevilla already closed their game but Chelsea and Roma are a goal behind so it looks like it won't matter.

Well feel bad for you brother. Chelsea disappointed you. Seeing the scores it looks like they are behind from the start and only in the injury time they were able to equalize the score.

In the other match (Man Utd vs AC Milan) AC Milan just took the lead. Not bad not bad 🤪

Quote

United been on good form pre-season haven't they?

It will be interesting to see if they can come back to this match and win from here.

Man Utd vs AC Milan today and obviously my favorite is Man Utd. If the win then they will have three wins like Benfica. Do you guys have any correct score in mind? I would go for 3 - 1 for Man Utd.

I wonder how this match ended because football will always have a way to f@##%k with your mind, and I use to think this way that since a half had so many goals the other half will get not less than this but you will be shocked that not a goal comes in such games.

Well at least you had 2 more goals in the 2nd half. I have seen matches where first half was 7 - 0 but in the 2nd half there were no score. Yes, this is football and it's fun.

United been on good form pre-season haven't they? Wan Bissaka on fire (and also one of the speediest if you saw Lukaku's leaked speed footage where Luke Shaw was the slowest guy haha). Not worth me reupping though, as United isn't even 2/1 on this game.

Starts in 5 minutes...

It's a massacre, Fenerbahce are getting obliterated. But mad props to you for going for 'Fenerbahce to win' (:

There are nothing left for Fenerbahce in this match. The 2nd half has started and I am expecting Bayern to score at least three more goals which will make the score line 8 - 0 LOL

Let's see how this prediction works out 🤪

Does anyone else think that all these friendly tournaments In Asia or USA are just a waste of time and a money making machine? Elite clubs have forgotten how a real pre-season preparation should look like.

Sometimes it is a waste of time and money especially when the so called elite teams fail to perform when the main league starts which is disappointing but j should think these competitions are to try out new accusations and also entertaining and appreciating fans from other parts of the world.

Does anyone else think that all these friendly tournaments In Asia or USA are just a waste of time and a money making machine? Elite clubs have forgotten how a real pre-season preparation should look like. It should be about going to a remote resort high up in the mountains, training in a nice climate and getting in shape for the new season.

What they are doing now is promoting their brands internationally, flying around the States and Asia getting jet legged, constantly tired from the travels, playing in hot and humid conditions.

You make a good point but most of the clubs also perform pre-season preparation you mention right before the season start and the friendly tournaments you said are organised/played in other for the team players to understand themselves more on the field of play.

After all, big teams always make sales or promote the latest releases from these events and this is just about the business they do. But I think it's important too, playing away from home will get a different sensation and it's very good to do, because from the event each team has the opportunity to try many strategies to later be used in the main match or competition.

I agree with you, but this is reality of modern football, it's just a game, but also huge business. Clubs earn a lot from playing these matches, they also promoting their brand in new markets. Last year there was plans to held even some official La Liga matches in USA, but fans were against it and it this idea didn't turned into reality. But I think these pre-season tournaments are also good because fans from Asia, States can see their favourite club playing in their country - not everyone can travel to Europe just to watch football.

It is entertaining and more important for non European people than European imo, and of course it is all about money.
Asian market is very important for these clubs to generate more profits (and some trouble for some players/South Korea vs Ronaldo)

Bayern seems to be in an incredible performance and they are likely to have an amazing road towards the Champions League final next season!

That's too early to say. Many believe Bayern at least go to the semis last season when in fact they lost to Liverpool at home, without scoring anything (Liverpool made an own goal).

Everything is still possible.

I’ll second that as it’s too early in the season to predict that Bayern Munich will reach the finals of Champions League. As we all saw in thier match against Tottenham that they only managed to draw and then lost out on penalties, if a team like theirs wishes to reach the finals then they need to perform better.

@Pmalek this is modern day football all clubs need to be making money, and these tournaments make them lots of money. In my personal opinion I like them because I get to see all new arrivals, and different tactics that clubs may use once the season starts.

Again considering the recent form of Real I will go for either a draw or Fenerbahce. I know it's not usual but Real is not performing these days. In the other match I will go for Tottenham despite Bayern to crash Fenerbahce by 6 - 1 yesterday.

Good to see finally Real to get a win. Look at their last 10 matches. Including the last game they only won two.

Real really needs to do something about this down fall.

These days the clubs are more into making money than giving their players a quality vacation.

I'm done with gambling on anything pertaining to Real Madrid until the season is officially under way.

Well, at least scored 1 goal - considering how they are playing it's big achievemnt lol. Result is 6:1 at 85 minute. Such big result isn't big surprise probably - Fenerbahche finnished just 6th in Turkish league last season and they have huge financial problems - their debts is over $0.5 billion.

Well I was close in terms of goal count. I was expecting 8 - 0 but instead we had 6 - 1 which means 7 goals in this match. 🤪

Tottenham vs Bayern
