Maybe one of the reasons for Liverpool's defeat is that they wanted to prepare for the Champions League match. The Champions League is more important and Nottingham was an opponent they did not see as strong. They must have thought that they could beat them in any way and underestimated them. But you shouldn't do that. You should take every opponent seriously, both in the league and in the Champions League. This defeat could even cost Liverpool the championship at the end of the year.

I've noticed that bookies' odds do not disappoint my analysis anymore as the ones with a weak possibility of winning always have high odds and the ones with a high possibility of winning always have low odds. This should naturally tell anyone something and it's more reason why I agree with you here. Going by what we see in the English premier league, it is far better than the Italian league in comparison but we should not use that as the yardstick to judge but use the two clubs coming together to play to judge.

Owning to that, Man City is the champion of the EPL just like Inter Milan is the Champion of Serie A, but the quality of football the two play varies, Man City is "ferocious," and I don't see Inter Milan winning it but Man City scoring more than once. The present feat can be taken for granted even if I would want to avoid hyping the club, it's obvious.

Whatever it is that happened in that game, just like the Liverpool fans, their players may have underestimated Nottingham Forest. Generally, the loss came to  Liverpool as a surprise. However, it's not meant to be the foundation of judgement for their game against Ac Milan, I presume the Liverpool team will buckle up and play a better football. I wouldn't want to predict the outcome of such a competitive game, but from the previous performance of both teams it'll appear to end as a draw.

Frankly, I don't really follow the Serie A competition. So, there are many things I don't know about the development and information of the Italian League teams. In the PSV camp, the team architected by Peter Bosz has performed quite impressively in its Domestic League. So it is not surprising that PSV can provide resistance when they visit Turin, Juventus' headquarters. However, in terms of opportunities and other advantages, Juventus is more favored than PSV in this meeting. In addition, although Juventus' performance is unstable, they still have a big name that can make their opponents not underestimate Thiago Motta's team. Well, because I am blind to judge these two teams. I mean, I have never watched the match directly for these two teams so I don't have much of an idea in betting. The ideal option for me is to bet on Under, 2.5 goals. At most, this match will produce a thin score. My guess is that Juventus will win maybe 1-0.

Yes, you're quite right. While PSV Eindhoven may be performing excellently in the Dutch Eredivisie, competing against Juventus is a different ball game altogether. They are, without a doubt, one of Italy's and Europe's top teams, with more resources in terms of talent and experience. Their defensive prowess certainly is a big plus, and playing at home in Allianz Stadium indeed gives them an edge. It's not impossible for PSV to pull off a victory, but the odds are certainly leaning towards Juventus. However, as you know, football can always surprise us.

PSV Eindhoven is currently occupying the first position in the Eredivisie. They have not lost any game and have gathered fifteen points from five games. Juventus are not also doing badly in the Italian Seria A. They are in third position with eight points. They have not conceded any goal, which shows that they have a good defence. However, we cannot compare the Dutch League with the Seria A, the latter is more difficult. Juventus are favourites in this game, but PSV is also a good side. I wouldn't place my bet on PSV because Juventus has a greater chance of winning, and playing at home in Allianz Stadium is also an advantage.

I agree, of course that loss was a total mess and everyone in the club and outside the club knows it. I am sure that literally nobody put a bet on Nottingham Forest in that game. The chances that Liverpool would give away those three points were zero, but as you can see only because a club has a small name doesn't mean that they can't play any football at all. Opponents have to be taken seriously and you could see that. But usually an event like this happens once or at maximum twice in a season. It's not going to happen again I believe.

Both teams actually have a good performance in their respective leagues at the moment, Juventus and PSV are quite consistent playing in the domestic league although indeed Juventus' journey in Serie A is not as perfect as PSV who continues to win in the Eredivisie, but we cannot judge the two teams today only based on their achievements in the league considering the comparison of quality and also competition in Serie A and also the Eredivisie which is very different at the moment, so indeed the level of performance of the two teams in playing in the Champions League will also be very different later, so far PSV is a team that is quite consistent in playing in European competitions but Juventus who has won the Champions League 2 times of course have a better mentality when playing in the Champions League, last season Juventus failed to play in the Champions League and I think this season they have certainly prepared the team as best as possible to be able to compete  in the championship, ths season is Motta first season in charge of Juventus so I think he will take advantage of every game available to win, my prediction is that Juventus will win with a score of 3-1 over PSV in the first match of the Champions League this season.

In my opinion PSV will win this game, they are a team that has been performing well in the last 4 years and even in European competitions they are also improving, last season they managed to draw against Arsenal and Dortmund and beat Sevilla in European Champions League games. And as you said, Juventus continue to be an inconsistent team, and their biggest strength is in defense, but PSV's biggest strength is in attack with 5 games they have scored 20 goals and they are also strong in defense. I see some football analysis pages saying that Juventus will win. The bookmakers are also placing Juventus as favorites, but I think PSV is better prepared to win the game.

It is hard to predict who will win between Juventus and PSV. PSV is doing very well in their league, winning a lot of games. Juventus on the other hand they have some problems inside team making their games unpredictable. But Juventus has played in strong league Serie A for long time which helps them. Still PSV is playing well and Juventus is unpredictable so anything can happen. Sometimes it is good to take chance and bet against the team that is expected to win because surprises can happen in football.

If you look at the quality, the English Premier League has a quality above the Italian League and I think it is very reasonable if the bookies give Man City a greater chance of winning because Inter Milan will play away in this match so it is not easy for them to beat Manchester City who are in their best form, although surprises are still possible but getting a draw might be a fair result for both of them who look equally strong.

I find it a little difficult to determine predictions when it comes to top clubs when they meet, especially since it is still early in the season so we don't know their full performance in this Champions League even though we can also analyze through domestic league matches.

It is hard to predict who will win between Juventus and PSV. PSV is doing very well in their league, winning a lot of games. Juventus on the other hand they have some problems inside team making their games unpredictable. But Juventus has played in strong league Serie A for long time which helps them.

Manchester City are stronger than Inter Milan but they are not too different in quality and competitiveness. Manchester City can lose this match and Inter Milan fans are given an amazing odds for their bets in this match. As fans of Inter Milan, they will have no issue to take the amazing given odds to support their team, watch the match either on television or on field while have opportunities to win big if Inter Milan get a good result at the end.

Ancelotti is good at player choice for his squad and he proves this ability with many big clubs. He did and is doing very well in Real Madrid too but in the club now, there are many problems, massive player injuries, lack of good combination of attacking star players and maybe conflicts among star players too. The coach actually is facing with uncomfortable and hard time in Real Madrid, and I am not sure when he will be able to settle these things in this season.
Comparing the chances of Inter Milan and Manchester City, there definitely seems to be an underdog advantage. As betting is a game of risk versus reward, fans of Inter Milan may view this as a golden opportunity to place their bets, considering the favorable odds. This indeed would add excitement to their viewing experience, regardless of where they choose to see the game.

In terms of Carlo Ancelotti, his versatility and adaptability as a manager is highly praised. He has successfully managed a number of top clubs, including Real Madrid. His ability to strategize according to changing situations, and utilize players in unconventional positions speaks volumes of his capability. Despite facing numerous challenges with injuries within the squad and potential internal conflicts, Ancelotti's resilient approach is commendable. Football is an unpredictable sport and it would be interesting to see when and how Ancelotti manages to stabilize the situation at Real Madrid.

Undoubtedly, the Premier League is better than Serie A. But even in the last season we have seen Serie A teams perform well on the Champions League and Europa League platforms. So there is no chance of underestimating Serie A teams at the moment. Also the best club in Serie A is Inter Milan. And Inter Milan's squad is also very strong. Inter Milan players will play for the purpose of victory against Manchester City.

Manchester City won the match 1-0 against Inter Milan last season. Although Manchester City won the match, the performance of Inter Milan players was very good. So there is no doubt that the City vs Inter Milan match will be very competitive. As both teams are in good form I think both teams have equal chances to win. However, since the match is Manchester City's home match, bookih is probably considering Manchester City as the favorite. I will probably hold myself back from betting on this match.

Bellingham performed well last season. Perhaps this is why the Real Madrid management does not consider it necessary to keep Toni Kross with the squad by paying high wages. Toni Korss wants to end his career with Real Madrid. So he did not join any other club. But if the Real Madrid management had extended the contract with Kross, we might have seen Toni Kross stay with Madrid.

Toni Kroos didn't score many goals or assists. But Kross is a fantastic player. He played the most important role in stabilizing Madrid's midfield. And since Bellingham is not in the squad this season. So the weakness of Madrid's midfield is very well understood. Toni Kroos was what Madrid needed right now. However, if Bellingham returns from injury it looks like we could see a stable Madrid midfield.

Looking at both teams Juventus and PSV is a bit difficult, PSV does have a good record and in their domestic league they are quite dominant which we can conclude that they are the strongest and most consistent team in the Dutch league so far, while if thrown at Juventus which in the last few seasons has been very chaotic with internal problems and the team has made this team uncontrollable and its performance has fluctuated, that's what makes us doubtful about Juventus, but when compared between the Eredevisie leagues, of course Juventus' experience is more and more impressive with its Serie A.

But sometimes we have to fight the bookies to try our luck in matches like this.

In my opinion PSV will win this game, they are a team that has been performing well in the last 4 years and even in European competitions they are also improving, last season they managed to draw against Arsenal and Dortmund and beat Sevilla in European Champions League games.
