A place in the last 32 of the Europa League secured, but points were dropped in the title race and a cup final was lost. Fir Park was another big obstacle against a Motherwell side that could have narrowed the gap on their opponents to four points if they could manage a first home win against them since 2002. And the hosts threatened early, with Rangers captain James Tavernier's intervention stopping Devante Cole adding the finishing touch to Christopher Long's cut-back.
The hosts favorite are going to win this match for me and so my bet is the 1 DNB FT. The teams are Tondela and Belenenses and this is a match for the Primera in Portugal. Here the teams have 15 and 11 points after 11 matches played. The hosts did a win in the last match they played at home. The guests away did bad in their last matches played with 4 defeats in the last 5 matches and so I don't see them able to take this win and I go with this DNB on the home team today.

City took full control of proceedings after the restart and within 10 minutes of the second half Jesus had notched two more, both of which involved the super Foden and Benjamin Mendy down the left flank.

They were all in the early stages on their paths to greatness, though one team-mate stood out above all others. I learned very quickly that this wasn't just my pal Marco, this was Marco van Basten," says Dick of the legendary striker. Even then, rumours were going around that he had signed a deal with AC Milan. When I arrived, I didn't have a car so Marco used to pick me up. We got on well and he was always messing around.
We have cleaners going around the training ground all the time, we have disinfected everything, we have hand wash everywhere, the players are no longer shaking hands or hugging so we are doing all the things that are there to be done. The final analysis will be in the hands of the government. Atletico Madrid warmed up for Wednesday's crunch Champions League tie at Liverpool by throwing away a 2-1 lead to draw against Sevilla.
In addition, and despite their poor overall results, Southampton managed to find the net in each of their last seven away matches. With a consistent track record of netting in away fixtures, we think the Saints carry enough attacking threat to notch a consolation against a demonstrably porous Villa backline on Saturday.
Again, broadcasters have signed contracts for an agreed number of matches and so if those matches are not played then it could be argued that the contracts have been breached and compensation must be paid. Total shutdown until September' A separate report in The Independent stated that the idea that football could resume at the start of April was viewed as "ludicrous" in some quarters.
As it was already said, Tambov is currently sitting in 14th place with only 17 points from 16 games. Their attack needs improving, as they are scoring a little over one goal per game, which is unacceptable at this level of play. They will have to play their best if they want to make a potential surprise and get some points. Their coach will have all of his players ready to battle, as no injuries or suspensions are listed prior to this game.
In the round 24 of the English Premier League, Everton welcomes Newcastle to Goodison Park. The home team, Everton are currently at the eleventh position of the league table.

The away team, Newcastle United are currently at the twelfth position of the league table. They have lost 7 of 11 away matches played in the league this season. I expect the home team to win this match but I doubt they will be able to keep a clean sheet. Good luck and bet responsibly.
Harrogate take on Halifax in this round of the National League Conference in England this evening and I believe that the visitors will not lose this game in my view. The hosts have been scoring an average of 1.5 goals in their games at home and they can score a goal here. The visitors have a good head to head record against the visitors and since they have been scoring an average of 1.3 goals in their games on the road, I expect them to score at least a goal as they have won 3 of their last mutual encounters here

There is little fault in their attack though, having failed to score in just one of the seven matches, and understandably against Borussia Dortmund. In their last home match, Hertha lost 4-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt courtesy of a second half capitulation, after taking a 24th minute lead. They will be keen to avoid a repeat.
I can live with the fact that referees are human beings who make mistakes but now when technology makes a mistake, that is a problem," he said.

You are constantly sprinting. It makes you wonder how unfit Arsenal were under former boss Unai Emery? That's a worry. And while you can see that their fitness levels have dramatically improved since Arteta came in last month, to be able to play the way he wants, they will need time to get even fitter. The two sides meet again at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, when I'll be doing co-commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, and it will be interesting to see their progress.

They will be thankful to captain Schmeichel for making a crucial stop to thwart Son's dipping effort, as conceding another goal would have seen them drop down to fifth on goal difference. Leicester could easily have scored four or five goals but were unable to penetrate Lloris' goal, the France World Cup winner keeping out top-scorer Vardy's backheel. And the Tottenham captain made even better stops to add to Leicester's torment, showcasing his sharp reactions to twice repel Perez's volley and long-range drive as well as flying saves off Gray's long-range free-kick and Kelechi Iheanacho's curler.
Dinamo Zagreb had a valuable win over Varazdin on the road last day. Now he is preparing for another away game against an old acquaintance whom he has defeated in four of the last five games, the most recent being in January of this year, a friendly match that ended in a draw to one. The good good shape in which Dinamo Zagreb finds themselves makes them trust in their victory, although it does not seem easy, they have in their favor that their rival has been recovering from their partition in the Croatian Cup and from their last defeat in the local tournament.
Bayern had the better of an entertaining first half, controlling the majority of territory and possession while creating the better of the chances. The closest they came was when Thomas Muller – by far the best player on the pitch – swivelled to plant a back-header against the bar, but Willy Caballero had to be alert on various occasions to deny Robert Lewandowski.

So the club has, from its earliest days, had real pedigree. The roll of honour inside the clubhouse attests to that.
Should that be the case, former Germany boss Silvia Neid arguably has the strongest CV of any out-of-contract European boss. In an 11-year spell as Germany boss, the 55-year-old won the 2007 World Cup as well as an Olympic gold and two European Championships, with a side that frequently enjoyed victories over England. Elsewhere, Sarina Wiegman is in credit after guiding the Netherlands to 2017's European title and then 2019's World Cup final, but England may prefer to look for a coach who is not currently employed by another association.

The hosts of this clash play well at home in the regular season and they won against most of the opponents. Usually, they keep the clean sheet so in this clash there is a chance to see a clear victory of Krumkachy over Oshmyany. The hosts are the better team and with the home advantage, they should win even with more than one goal difference. The visitors play well at home but on away they struggle so hard and concede at least two goals in the last matches. I think that they will not keep a clean sheet for a long time. A clear win for the hosts

City started the second half superbly, and Real Madrid were hanging on when Isco gave them an unexpected lead on the hour. The goal wasn’t just against the run of play, it was an affront to the run of play. Isco gives Madrid the lead.
