Australian Super League: Melbourne City vs Brisbane
Match time: 23-12-28 16:45 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Melbourne City's form in the new season is relatively average, with three wins, three draws and three losses, ranking seventh in the league. As one of the traditional powerhouses of the Australian Super League, Melbourne City has been a regular visitor to the playoffs in recent seasons, but because the team's performance in the playoffs is relatively average, so several times it has missed the championship trophy, this season Melbourne City must still aim to compete for the league championship honor, but at this stage, the team and the league leader Wellington Phoenix have opened an eight-point point gap, if the follow-up games Melbourne City can not find the game as soon as possible, perhaps the team is difficult to achieve too much breakthrough in the rankings in a short period of time。
In the last five games, Melbourne City has won two and drawn three, and the record is very ordinary. In the last game, the team drew 0-0 at home to Melbourne Victory and won an embarrassing three-game draw. From the point of view of the course of the game, because this game is a derby battle, so both teams obviously played more conservative after the start, although Melbourne City has a slight advantage in possession, but the opponent uses quick counterattacks to get more shooting attempts, and in terms of attacking threat, Melbourne Victory is also better than Melbourne City. Towards the end of the game, Melbourne City also scored a goal, but because the attacker was offside, Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory could only take away one point each.
Personally, Melbourne City's competitiveness in the Australian Premier League is undoubted, even if this team is temporarily unable to enter the top six ranks, but the Australian Premier League has only just played nine rounds after all, as the league deepens, as long as Melbourne City's main players can gradually find their competitive level, then it is difficult for other league opponents to threaten it, and Melbourne City's player lineup this season has not changed much, and other league opponents have made the lineup younger, but Melbourne City is a more mature lineup system in the league, player experience and tacit understanding must be much higher than other competitors。
Brisbane's form has slipped recently, with four wins, two draws and three defeats, placing them fifth in the league. Brisbane's league results in the previous two seasons were not ideal, and the team's competitive state has been up and down since entering the new and old, although the current league ranking of Brisbane is not too low, but considering the team's several strikers in the previous two games are very sluggish, perhaps it is difficult for Brisbane to achieve too good results in recent times.
It is worth mentioning that Brisbane's usual formation is a 433 impact formation, and more often the team replaces defense with offense, reducing its own defensive pressure through continuous attack. As we all know, attacking teams want to achieve better results, often need to have more offensive firepower, but Brisbane is not a multi-point flowering team, winger Mirusny and midfielder Geosher are the team's two major scoring points at this stage, because the offensive firepower is too concentrated, so the opponent can naturally make some targeted defensive arrangements, and the depth of Brisbane's squad is relatively thin, and there are not too many excellent players on the bench to replace, so once the main players are not in good shape, it is difficult for this team to show too strong competitiveness。
Match Analysis:
In the two meetings last season, Melbourne City won one and drew one, and snatched a lot of points from Brisbane. In the last ten meetings, Melbourne City has seven wins, two draws and one loss, obviously occupying a considerable psychological advantage. Although Melbourne City's current league ranking is lower than Brisbane, but in terms of overall strength, Melbourne City's league competitiveness is bound to be much stronger than Brisbane, and Melbourne City is a more balanced team in attack and defense, even if the team's offensive ability is not good, but with a stable midfield and backfield defense, Melbourne City still maintains a six-game unbeaten record, considering that Melbourne City's defensive ability is guaranteed, and Brisbane's recent offensive ability is relatively limited, I believe that Melbourne City should still be able to rely on stronger overall strength to grab valuable three points in Brisbane。
Portuguese Super League: Amadora vs Arouca
Competition time: 2023-12-29 04:15 Friday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Amadola estimates that fans and friends should be relatively unfamiliar, this team is the promotion horse of the Portuguese Super League this season, and has been playing in the lower level of the Portuguese League for many seasons, but since being promoted to the Portuguese Super League, Amadora has indeed shown a very good competitive state, and the team is currently ranked ninth in the league with a record of four wins, four draws and six losses. As a promoted polo team, the club's senior management will naturally not set too high league ranking requirements for the team, as long as the team can ensure that it stays in the Portuguese Super League next season to continue to play, it should be regarded as the completion of the club's set goals, and the depth of the team's squad is also insufficient, plus there are many young rookies among the main players, it is obvious that the players still need more time to train to really form a whole.
Personally, the reason why Amadora can achieve such good results in the new season is mainly because other league opponents do not pay enough attention to this team, the two armies are against each other lightly but it is taboo, and Amadora's athletic ability has also improved after being promoted to the Portuguese Super League, thanks to the abundant physical reserves of young players, and has been eager to better show their ability to the positive attitude, so often in the process of the game Amadora can cause a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent. However, as the league progresses, other league opponents will naturally gradually adapt to the competitive characteristics of Amadora, and once the league opponents adapt to Amadora's tactical play, it may be very difficult for this team to achieve too good results.
Arouca have not had a good season, with three wins, four draws and seven defeats, placing them in 14th place in the league. Last season, Arouca ended up in fifth place in the league, so the team also got a place in the UEFA Cup play-offs, but because the team failed to defeat their opponents in the UEFA Cup play-offs, Arouca finally failed to qualify for Europe this season, and the team's defensive intensity this season seems to have dropped a lot, before it was precisely because of the poor interception ability of the midfield, so that the team fell into a period of seven consecutive defeats, fortunately, in recent rounds of the league Arouca still stopped the decline, as long as the team can continue this stable performance in the follow-up games, I believe that there is still a lot of room for Arouca to climb in the league rankings in recent times。
Match Analysis:
With Amadora having been playing in the lower leagues before, there is no chance of any cross-hatching between the two teams, and this game can only be analysed in terms of the overall strength and recent form of both sides. Amadora is still a strange opponent for most Portuguese Premier League teams, although the opponent can study the technical and tactical characteristics of Amadora through game replays, but the 90-minute game is fast-changing, the game video can only roughly judge the opponent's offensive and defensive system, once the opponent changes the tactical play before the game, then the previous tactical drills may no longer apply, the unknown is often more deadly, perhaps the overall strength of Arouca is indeed stronger than Amadora, and Arouca has not fallen behind in terms of recent results, but Amadora's players are now full of momentum, before facing Lisbon and Porto and other championship contenders, Amadora also showed a good competitive state, I believe that even if Amadora can't grab three points on Arouca in this game, it is still not a problem to keep the home team from losing with strong defensive performance.
