Hoffenheim will host Mainz in German 1 Bundesliga round 12. The host are 5th in the league table with 20 points from 11 matches scoring 16 goals against 14, in the beginning of the season things didn't go all that well, but recently they picked great form since 6 last game undefeated, and I believe that they will keep that wonderful form rolling to be able to get a Champions league place next season, Mainz are in relegation zone presently and will give everything here to secure a point or points, after 11 matches they have scored 12 goals against 30 and with just 9 points to show for it. I don't think that they can be able to stop the host with the type of quality they present.
He's come in and been a leader in the group. I've been, not surprised, but I've been impressed by his leadership skills," said Solskjaer, whose side face unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The appointment fits in with a series of moves made by Solskjaer since he was named manager in March, after a three month spell as interim boss following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
Read the full story Red Devils ‘oblivious’ to Minamino release clause Staying in Salzburg, reports were flooding out on Thursday that Liverpool were close to completing the signing of Haaland's teammate Takumi Minamino. However, the Mirror have reported the reason behind the Merseyside club pipping their rivals Manchester United to the signing of the Japan international.
This is going to be one very interesting match for sure but also and a match for Bnei Sakhnin to seal the deal. So far Sakhnin are at the 2nd place with 60 pts while Hapoel Rishon LeZion are right behind them with 2 points less.Normally I wouldn't bet on this one but after the last few games and the performances by Rishon I am not convinced with them. They are just doing too many mistakes at the back. They now have only 1 won at the last 6 matches and it too bad because what supposed to be their best season is not going to finish well, not with performances like this. On the other hand Sakhnin with a won here will increase their chances for promotion a lot. They are in good shape and are having run of 4 wins in a row now including that won against 1st placed team of Maccabi Petah Tikva with 0-1 (the best team at Leumit League by far).Given the performances both teams are showing my call here goes to Bnei Sakhnin. Hapoel are not convincing lately while Sakhnin is on fire and should take advantage of this bad situation that Rishon LeZion are.
Michu may not have total monopoly on Haaland's affections though. Asked recently about his inspirations, he gave a slightly more conventional answer, citing Cristiano Ronaldo. I would love to meet him and tell him that I am a footballer thanks to him," he said. For me, he was always a model. Probably not beyond the realms of imagination that they might face one another at some point. Or even play together.
We will this new friendly match between this two Sweden teams look see a great soccer match with more goals and a great soccer match with more goals and a best play from boat teams in this soccer play.

FC Slutsk have only lost one of their last five home league games. Vibetsk have lost four of their last six away league matches. Vibetsk's last trip to FC Slutsk ended in a 3-0 loss. FC Slutsk are in second place after the first three games of the new Belarus Premier League season. They have won two games so far and aim to make it three when hosting fourth placed Vitebsk.

Arsenal overcame struggling Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium to set up an FA Cup fifth-round trip to Portsmouth. Mikel Arteta's side were good value for their victory, the platform for progress into the next round built on first-half goals from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah. Bournemouth substitute Sam Surridge pulled a goal back deep into eight minutes of stoppage to give the scoreline a look of respectability and give Arsenal some late anxious moments, but in reality the Gunners were by far the superior team.
It is true that Atletico Madrid is one of the best teams in Spain. It is also true they have the best defense system in Spain but not only, maybe too 3 defense team in the world. They also have a problem, this defense comes with disadvantages, they are horrible at scoring goals. Against a Granada that comes with great morale as they are on top of the table I do not know if Atletico has what it takes to beat Granada. This will be a tough game for the hosts but they already showed their worth as no one expected a recently promoted team to do this well.

It's been a poor start to the season for Dinamo Minsk with a string of league and cup defeats. They do how to score though but also keep conceding goals. Their opponents have made a good start to the season but this will be a potentially tough away game for them. A bet on both teams to score looks the one to make here.
Schalke certainly has problems due to several problems in the different parts and locker room. There is also a very negative run, which ended with the draw vs Union 1: 1 and a defeat vs Gladbach 2: 0. Leverkusen made it to the finals during the week and can climb back to fourth place with a win. It would be a surprise if Schalke won this game, because Leverkusen has presented itself well recently. Nevertheless, due to the tight schedule, I see an opportunity here that we will not experience. I think Bayer will win this game easily. Bayer won with Borussia Moengladach 3-1 away and a good victory against Werder, who defeated Schalke. Leverkusen is fighting for the UCL place.

The hosts have had a season of two halves, despite us only approaching December. They had started the campaign with a disappointing losing streak, but they come into this clash with just one defeat across their last eight. The arrival of the Cowleys from Lincoln has brought positivity back to the club.
Some of the most iconic starting XIs in football history barely ever began a game together. Injuries, suspensions and, more recently, squad rotation, along with perhaps a bit of misremembering on our part, all contribute to make some of football's most revered sides no more than a myth. The Premier League era is awash with them. There are, of course, also notable examples from pre-1992 in England. One such case is the one which inspired this piece - that the iconic Don Revie Leeds side of the late 1960s and early 70s started just one game together.
Perhaps it’s adorably naive of us to have any sympathy for Sturridge: after all, he can’t have been entirely oblivious to what was happening, but for someone who’s already suffered from plenty of bad luck in the past with injuries and so forth, it’s still a significant kick in the pants. Arsenal ease through with win over Portsmouth This has generally been a season when things haven’t gone to plan, up and down the Premier League and beyond.
Nomme Kalju looking at their last games with other teams there are not used of scoring an over of 4.5 total goals as in their last 5 home games they have not recorded an over of 4.5 total goals in any game and so this factor makes us to give this game an under of 4.5 total goals as their will be meeting on their home ground field and we can say when they will be meeting with the away team Flora they will continue with the trend as also
The move comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States. Iran tensions: Iran faces watershed momentThe Iranian football federation said it would announce a "final position" in the "following days". Iran has four teams - Persepolis, Esteghlal, Sepahan and Shahr Khodro - in the AFC Champions League, and they are expected to be consulted on Saturday. Before the meeting, Persepolis chief executive Mohammad Hassan Ansarifard told the Mehr news agency the club will "certainly not participate" in the new Champions League season "if they insist on their decision".
But no. We got in at full-time and Fergie went at me for two or three minutes saying 'you are finished, you are out and in the reserves, that is you done'. All the big boys including Cristiano Ronaldo were still in the dressing room at the time. That was me done, I was training with the reserves for the rest of the season. Pulis not fond of 'that Barca' footballFoster had a year at Birmingham, where he won the League Cup, before spending seven seasons at West Brom and playing under Tony Pulis.
I've had offers of a new contract taken off the table because I decided to go to the Cup of Nations," he told Sport Today. I can understand it from the point of view of managers but we want to go and we want to win it. I've had managers pulling their hair out every time I've had to go but it's tradition. The weather is better in that period in Cameroon [the winter]; we need the best Cup of Nations for African football and that's the right time to play it.
There are 83,000 of us scattered around the island and the other day two people died with coronavirus. That's a big thing on an island of this size. If you don't know the person then you will probably know the face. One of the people who died was a police officer who I knew when I was involved in the police football team. It does make it personal. He always said 'hello' when we passed one another on the street.
I watched the reverse fixture between them earlier this season at Gent who had the lead by half-time of the game with no less than 4-0, while in the second half they did not really wanted to waste any more energy conceded a goal and scored two more late goals to win with 6-1 in the end against Eupen so a win by them with no less than 5 goals difference with 6 goals scored by them, and they are on 2nd place fighting for the title and cannot afford to lose points here.
Guardiola's side were on top for most of the second half but it was not until the 85th minute when Otamendi headed in a corner that the hosts were able to find a way through. United's Brazilian midfielder Fred appeared to be struck by an object thrown from the crowd while taking a corner in the second half.
Obviously, Jurgen Klopp's side have only dropped two points all season for starters. But Spurs have won just one of their past 14 Premier League meetings with Liverpool - 4-1 win at Wembley in October 2017 when Reds defender Dejan Lovren had a tricky afternoon - and have lost nine of the other 13. There should be goals at the Lane - only bottom of the table Norwich have kept as few Premier League clean sheets this season as Tottenham (two), while Liverpool have scored in 29 consecutive matches.
It is mainly a difference in terms of form these two clubs are at this moment with Southampton being 3-1-0 in their last 4 league games and not only did they won a couple of games lately but the opponents they defeated were really top clubs like Tottenham with 1-0 at home and two very big wins on the road as well last round winning with 2-1 away at Leicester while a couple of rounds ago they also won 2-0 away from home at Chelsea, and they are closing to the top 6 places thanks to the points they won lately.

In the meantime, the men's team building, one of several separate buildings at our training ground, will remain closed. The rest of our training facility, Stamford Bridge and other facilities are operating as normal," the club added.

You cannot buy that fear, you can only build it - by doing the same thing over and over again, like Liverpool have done. It is the same with the self-belief the Reds have clearly got right now. It is the biggest thing any team can have, but instilling it in your players is the hardest thing. Of course, Liverpool players were already full of confidence after their successes over the past few months - but they are going to have even more now they can say they are world champions.
My bet for this match is over 2.5 goals. Both team good play in this season and I think that they may will draw, but I think that this match will be offensive. The away team enter the game after win first two games. For me we have both team have a good attaque and more home team and I see over 2.5 goals is good, but I think that odd for x2 is very good. In the last 5 direct matches was 2 times over 2.5 goals and 3 times 2 goals. I think that this match will end 2:1 or 2:2
Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
The 2010s witnessed Harry Kane's arrival as one of the world's most prolific strikers. The Tottenham forward produced at least 20 Premier League goals in four successive seasons before an injury-hit 2018-19 campaign and earned himself the 2015-16 Golden Boot in the process as Spurs established themselves as a top-four side. N'Golo Kante(152 appearances; 10 goals; 10 assists) N'Golo Kante (right) made the most tackles and interceptions in the Premier League during Leicester City's title-winning campaign in 2016One of the bargains of the decade.
The government does have a responsibility. They should be looking into it. Football is the sport and there is a national interest in this," he told BBC Sport. Where you have a conflict over the potential undermining of commercial contracts by organisations seeking to buy a club then that's much closer to home. Betts says he is worried that broadcast rights-holders like Qatar-based beIN Sport - which has urged the Premier League to "interrogate" the takeover - may reconsider their partnerships if the piracy continues.
Rochdale aren't enjoying a particularly fruitful campaign. Thanks mainly to the disastrous efforts of a few teams below them, Brian Barry-Murphy's men find themselves sat four points above the dreaded drop-zone, which is the silver lining.
Play-offs in each division will also be played, but with no more than four teams. In a statement, the EFL said fresh proposals were submitted by Barnsley and Tramnere Rovers, while further amendments were put forward by Lincoln City, Stevenage and Ipswich Town. It said the EFL board's own framework, initially outlined on 21 May, was "overwhelmingly" agreed upon by its 71 clubs. The board has endeavoured to listen to all views and alternative approaches but understands that the decisions taken will not be met with universal satisfaction from all clubs," said EFL chair Rick Parry.
Everton lack steel and styleEverton retained some hope of a Europa League place when the Premier League restarted but more than that you sense the final nine games were a chance for Ancelotti to assess which members of his squad have a future at the club. On this evidence, the Italian has his work cut out. They possess two superb centre forwards, but without much of a creative midfield behind them the Blues are unable to maximise their most potent weapons.
FK Gorodeya Reserves is in a worse shape; when the last 10 matches they only brought back 1 point remaining 9 consecutive losses. This is not difficult to understand when this season they do not set high goals. Their attack is very poor while the defense is constantly making mistakes and creating space for the opponent. Therefore, although it is very difficult to return to the home field, FK Gorodeya Reserves will make a victory.
Fiorentina claimed a massive win at the weekend, edging out SPAL to move away from the drop zone. Beating the league’s worst side isn’t a momentous achievement from the hosts, but it was their first league win since October. Can they follow that up with success in the Coppa Italia this week?
I think he might have wanted to box, although I'm glad he never did. Mason Mount's keen interest in boxing was inspired by his maternal grandfather, Bill, a retired tarmacer who was a standout amateur boxer in his youth. The now-86-year-old father of three daughters doted on Mount as though he were the son he never had. He rarely missed one of his grandson's training sessions or matches as Mount's talent for football blossomed.
Bournemouth go to this game with relegation staring, as they are placed 18th with 27 points while Palace have 39 points and are placed 11th. It has been a tough season for Bournemouth and they head to this game winless in their last four matches, three of those being losses. They have conceded at least two goals in each of the last four matches and have no clean sheet in the last nine matches.
Serie A leaders Juventus lacked quality, with Cristiano Ronaldo rarely getting into scoring positions, and they will need to improve in the return leg on March 17 if they are to progress. About 2,700 Juventus fans travelled from Piedmont, a region neighbouring the coronavirus-hit Lombardy, as the game went ahead as planned despite concern over the virus.
Tonbridge and Maidstone will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Tonbridge this season have the following results: 7W, 7D and 12L. Meanwhile Maidstone have 10W, 9D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
When he plays from the left he is really dangerous and I knew that and gave the players the best information about it. His first goal is a typical Rashford goal coming on the inside. Our boys knew that clearly," he said. Solskjaer was unsurprisingly even more fulsome in his praise of the 22-year-old England international, who delivered a performance of real quality.
If he learns to play collectively, he'll have even more fun. Balotelli was asked about a possible Italy recall for Euro 2020. Everyone wants to play in the European championship but for me the important thing is to save Brescia. That's what is in my head," he said. Brescia moved up to 19th in the 20-team table with 10 points, one ahead of SPAL.
The visitors have seen both teams score in each of their last four matches, while it has landed in 92% of West Brom’s home games. Each of the last four meetings between these two at the Hawthorns have seen both teams find the net, so we’re backing another entertaining clash this week. Both teams to score is our pick in this one, while we’re backing a 1-1 draw between these two. With West Brom failing to win half their home games and Leeds losing just three of 13 away, we’re backing a fourth 1-1 draw in six games for West Brom.
Striker Raul Jimenez fired in a 73rd-minute winner as Wolves twice came back from a goal down to defeat Jose Mourinho's team and leapfrog them into sixth place in the standings with 42 points from 28 games. The win capped off a fine week for Santo's side, who reached the Europa League last 16 with a 6-3 aggregate win over Spain's Espanyol despite a 3-2 second-leg defeat last Thursday.
Goals win matches. Or, so they say anyway. But who has been the best European striker of the 21st century so far? It's a tough one. In fact, there's only one way to decide - a tournament!BBC Sport journalists have shortlisted 32 players and they will face off in a knockout competition until you pick the ultimate winner. To be included on the shortlist, players must have scored at least 20 goals in three seasons and their international pedigree and success has also been taken into account.
Dortmund have impressively scored at least two goals in 23 of their last 24 Bundesliga home games. Meanwhile, Leipzig have scored at least three goals over the last six Bundesliga games. We feel that this game is likely to produce a high scoring draw. We feel that a 3-3 draw is a likely outcome of this fixture.
