Last season was a challenging season for Real Madrid but they were most successful in that season so they have no reason to worry about next season. Their squad lacked a main striker after the departure of Karim Benzema which has been filled in this transfer window. They signed Jude Bellingham and at that time Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid as a midfielder but Real Madrid turned him into a striker. 

At the Euros we saw Bellingham perform as the main striker for the England national team. Real Madrid have recruited a great man in their finishing position as well as having two of the best star players in the left winger and right winger positions so maybe Jude Bellingham will play in the midfield next season. If Jude Bellingham plays in midfield, just imagine how strong Real Madrid will be next season. Real Madrid can make history next season if the opposition is easy.

Betting on BTTS with odds of 1.87 really makes no sense. I like such bets but only when I find rare odds >3.0. It happens rarely (although I can't say that I always monitor this market) but it is always worth it.
As for the games, two have already gone wrong, and due to the low odds, regardless of the outcome of the last game, the total bet is minus. It's sad, and it seems to me that in such random games, betting on favorites is very unprofitable.

Saint Maximin was one of my favorite player, the former Newcastle United player was basically gifted with potentials and very good footing with the ball. The UEFA Champions League is main for the elite clubs and average clubs. These categories keeps putting up their very best performance to reach peak momentum and finally run for the best. Fenerbahçe have good players for link up for excellent results but watching whats happening to them currently, it's definitely out of the box.

The match is finally over, as Fernabach was defeated at Lille's home pitch. Mourinho lost his first game as Fernabach's manager. Lille dominated the match, despite Fernabach's having their best striker Džeko who scored 4 goals in their previous two games, but he was unable to score tonight. Fernabach could not endure Lille pressure to defend their home to the last whistle, and Zhegrova had a chance to score the winning goal for Lille in the final minute of the game.

However, if Livakovic had not stopped so many goals in this match, Fernabach would have conceded more than two. This is the first leg of two; Fernabach still has a chance to go to the next round because they are hosting the next match, and Fernabach might get a home advantage against Lille. It would be sad if Mourinho did not qualify for the Champions League in his debut with Fernabach.

This Fenerbahce is a really unlucky team. He scored the first goal as his own goal and failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities with Dzeko. İrfancan made the score 1-1 with his own effort, but the match was 90+1. In the minute the ball hit the defense again and misled the goalkeeper and the score became 2-1.
Maybe if the match had been 1-1, he could have passed the round with a victory in Kadıköy, but now he will definitely have to beat Lille in Istanbul.
He could not show any success in Lille. Even though Lille was the favorite of the match, the game was not like that at all.
There is a rematch next week and I am looking forward to the result of this match.

Saint Maximin had a good first half. Fenerbahçe is playing worse as a team but I can say that. Lille is using the advantage of being home very well. Livakovic is on a good day today. If Livakovic was bad, Fenerbahçe would have conceded 4 goals already.

Fenerbahçe still has a chance to get a draw in this first leg. The current situation is that Fenerbahçe is already 1 goal behind and Lille is dominating the game. If they are unable to get a point in the first leg, Fenerbahçe must be able to try not to concede more than one goal to make it easier for them when they welcome Lille to their home ground. We all know how Mourinho is. Moreover, this is his first season at Fenerbahçe.

I'm following the game and in my opinion it's being a very difficult game for Fenerbahce, who are not having spaces to attack or counterattack. Lille's attack and defense are very strong and at the moment I'm writing this post, Lille is winning. Lille is dominating possession of the ball, Lille has been making more attacks. So I see Lille managing to leave this game with a victory. The best option for Mourinho's team would be to focus a lot on defense, let Lille's players get tired quickly because they don't stop attacking and when the game is nearing the end, make counterattacks to at least get an equalizer. And when the game is in the second leg, which will be at Fenerbahce's home, then Mourinho's team could make an effort to win the game. This is the only good option for Fenerbahce to move on to the next phase in this disadvantageous scenario.

The champions league have become like a normal competition for Real Madrid that they can play in every season and win the trophy. As the saying always goes, to win the champions league, don’t allow Real Madrid to reach the finals before wanting to eliminate them in the competition. If you have a way, don’t let them exit the group stage which is highly very impossible to happen. They’ve played and mastered this competition like their own and always the best to show that they are the king of competition. They have all the experience in this competition and also their youth players are already exposed to the competition from their young age because of their participation in it always. They are still the favourites for the champions league trophy but should beware of Manchester City who are also big contender for the UCL trophy just like they are.

We agree with that, that Real Madrid can be said to be more competitive than other competing teams at this time and they also have a big chance theoretically after bringing in Mbappe. However, regarding which team will win this competition there is no guarantee even though Madrid has a high probability. To be honest, I want to see Madrid's current performance. Because, we haven't seen a good game in this preseason. But it's natural, usually Don Carlo doesn't really prioritize winning for his team's preseason matches. To be honest, I'm curious about the system and pattern implemented by Ancelotti. Because, it is very likely that he can tinker with the composition of the players and also the pattern he uses. Besides, it's interesting to see El Real's performance without Toni Kroos.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, not much has changed this season. In fact, one of their strikers will leave. However, I don't doubt Pep Guardiola with his myriad of tactics and strategies. Although it can be said that Madrid is sharper on the front line with the presence of Mbappe, it doesn't mean they can beat Manchester City easily if they meet in the competition phase. So far we have always seen that these two teams are always strong candidates in the Champions League, but maybe there is another team that unexpectedly shows a good performance and can overthrow City and Madrid when they meet later. Well, there is always a possibility and I hope the Champions League next season is quite interesting.

Fenerbahçe should be very careful in this match because they are playing away. If Fenerbahçe loses this match, they may have a very difficult time in the return match. I think Mourinho is aware of this. That is why I think they will play a defensive game against Lille. I think they will fight in a way that a draw will be enough without taking any risks. Lille is a much more difficult opponent compared to the previous match, so Fenerbahçe should show extra performance.

Agreed. The Champions League is the most competitive league because all teams competing in the UCL league are representatives of Europe's elite leagues, so all teams competing in the UCL league can provide surprises. However, teams that have a good squad and have a UCL league mentality will always be favored, and that's natural. especially Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona.

However, it must be admitted that every season there must be a favorite team that is defeated by a team that was never favored, this also does not rule out the possibility that this season there will be many surprises produced by the underdog teams. Moreover, the new UCL league format is implemented this season, of course this will affect teams that have many competitions, it can be said that with this new format it will be very beneficial for teams that have fewer schedules so that the players' stamina is not too drained.

It seems funny when you say Manchester City is better than Real Madrid, even though you say just about squad factors. I think it's clear, Real Madrid is better from many factors including the squad and also, it's even funnier when you say that Real Madrid has won so many trophies compared to other teams, but you say it is a luck factor. LOL.

After all, basically Real Madrid has been a successful team in the past and is still continuing in the current era. Meanwhile, Manchester City is just a team that has succeeded in the last few  years when it became a rich team and also when Pep Guardiola was coach of Manchester City. With considerations like that,  it would be very inaccurate if you assumed that Real Madrid just got lucky,that would be a joke.

Fenerbahçe's starting XI against Lille has been announced. It'll be the first time we'll see Saint-Maximin in the starting line-up. I hope the coach has an idea behind this bold decision. With Krunic back in the starting 11, the team is already playing short-handed and we will see how Maximin will react to the increased risk with his decision.

Teams that qualify for the Champions League are the best teams in their various leagues; there is no way a team will like to underestimate the other team all because of how good they have been in dominating their leagues and the Champions League.

The reality of this remains that we don't know how the Champions League matches and team preparation will be by next season. We can have a team that is less favorite to win, the team that is everyone's favorite to win the Champions League, knocking them out of the league race, giving the unexpected club the advantage of becoming the Champions League winner.

If Fenerbahce will not be left without Euro Cups, then it will be good, вecause Mourinho always puts a lot of emphasis on these tournaments. On the other hand, if they manage to beat Lille (which will not be easy), then Mourinho can immediately prove himself very well, although I think that everyone understands that the qualifying games will not be easy, but if they cannot beat Lille now, then they have nothing to do further in the group stage of the Champions League, because there will be even more difficult opponents.

Now we are having few minutes left into this game with Fenerbahçe is looking for another win and having chance of going through for the Champions League spot with José Mourinho and his squad is doing good work, and we are watching good development in Turkish clubs for the UEFA spots in this season it's good change because now they are feeling they have to do better and also having their mark into these events this will bring good change for them.

Lille is also good side even recently we are having some problems in French clubs as they are dropping performance and things are not going as they needed but still they are playing at home, and they are also looking for the win and having chance to go through for the big event it's going to be interesting game.

The match will start in less than 2 hours and to be honest, we can categorize the match between Fenerbache vs Lille as the only big match today, I personally am actually inclined to see that Fenerbache will be the favorite to win today match compared to Lille, based on the quality of the squad it is clear that Fenerbache is superior as well as the game strategy that Mourinho will apply in the match, we know that Mourinho is a coach who is very experienced in training big teams so far, so I think that will be a plus for Fenerbache chances of winning, but even though So of course we can't underestimate Lille, who performed quite impressively in Ligue 1 last season, in my opinion, even though Fenerbache will be relatively more favourites, I am quite sure that the match will be very tight because it can be said that this match will be very decisive for the chances from both teams to make it easier for them to qualify for the playoffs later.

When you look at the odds, Lille is seen as the better team so they should be getting the win. I understand that it is not going to be that simple, like just because odds says Lille will win, doesn't mean that Lille will win, we could have Lille losing and Fenerbahce winning as well, with Mourinho at the helm, they are capable of doing a lot of damage and we have seen how amazing they were against Lugano last series, they won very easily in two games, and definitely destroyed their opponent.

I think their style is one of those "doesn't look good, but gets the result" type of system, which Mourinho definitely loves, he doesn't care about how it looks during the game, only cares about the result, which causes issues during the season, but on any tournament he goes very far. I think if they were in Europa, then I would say they have a chance to win the whole title.

With the arrival of Mbappe, everyone expects Real Madrid to win every title in Europe. Let's see how other clubs perform first and then see if Madrid can compete with them all. But I believe they will be the favorites to win the laliga because they are the stronger in the competition for the second season now, but Girona improved and attempted to challenge them last season, but they failed, and Athletico Madrid is signing Manchester City player Alvarez, who will strengthen the team because the boy is very good and I am sure he will help the club very well, and the laliga will be more interested when key players enter the league.

The Champions League is a unique competition that is extremely competitive, and no club in the competition should be underestimated. Manchester City are far superior to Real Madrid in terms of player quality, but Madrid just has more experience in the UCL than other teams in the league they typically have the best luck in the Champions League, which is why they have more trophies than other clubs in the competition. The UCL must begin first before you can assess how other teams will perform and who will be the favorite to win the UCL trophy.
