Goals, goals and more goals. The top international teams invited us to score goals again last week. Bayern and Man City alone scored a staggering 20 times in four games!
Just before the turn of the year, some teams have a really tough programme ahead of them. In some top leagues, for example, there were two games in the past week. In England, the football boots will be laced up once again between Christmas and New Year.
Prediction for TOTW 14
- Top Candidates for Week 14
- João Cancelo (Manchester City, Portugal) – 88
- Serge Gnabry (FC Bayern Munich, Germany) – 87
- Gerard Moreno (Villareal, Spain) – 87
- Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City, Algeria) – 87
The Portuguese international João Cancelo is currently one of the strongest full-backs in the world. He showed all his class again in Manchester City’s 4-0 away win against Newcastle United. Pep Guardiola’s team was not only defensively stable, but was also dangerous offensively, especially on the flanks. Cancelo contributed a goal and an assist
to the victory. Man City are now three points clear at the top of the table.
In the Bundesliga, things are currently a little more one-sided. After a strong 5-0 win against VfB Stuttgart during the week and a 4-0 win against VfL Wolfsburg, FC Bayern München extended their lead. The Man of the Match against Stuttgart was, quite deservedly, Serge Gnabry. He was involved in all five goals! He scored a hat-trick himself and set up two more goals for Lewandowski. A strong performance, which gives the German international quite an inform guarantee.
After the win against Rayo Vallecano, Villareal again collected important points against Real Sociedad last weekend. In the end, it was a 1:3 away win in which the experienced striker Gerard Moreno made the difference. After scoring two headers, he single-handedly turned the game around and completed his strong performance with an assist after a counterattack in the 96th minute. The three goals give Moreno a very good chance of becoming an inform player.
Before Manchester City were successful against Newcastle at the weekend, the duel against Leeds Untied already took place on Tuesday. In the end it was 7:0 for City after 31 shots. Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez, among others, were the main protagonists of the shooting fest. Both were involved in two goals each. Due to the amount of the result, we expect an inform here in any case. However, we will only find out who will win in the end on Wednesday.
