Lille have a fine run over Lyon; they have won five of their last 10 meetings and lost just once. However, that is just history – Lille have not been doing so well lately, at least in terms of attack and defence. They particularly have a poor record in the French League Cup and having beaten Lyon in December, Lyon may want to go for the kill here. We are backing Lyon for a win here.
Former Germany and United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann has been appointed as Hertha Berlin manager until the end of the season after the Bundesliga side sacked Ante Covic. The former Tottenham, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich striker, 55, was named on Hertha's supervisory board in November. Covic, 44, was only appointed in July and leaves with Hertha in 15th. The way we've been playing recently, and the results, have led to this decision," he said.
Greaves quickly came to terms with the new reality. I was gutted when the games first got called off,” he said. We were so close to winning it again after so long. But it rapidly became clear that it was right to push football on to the back burner. We are talking about people's lives here. It’s about getting priorities right.

This game is very important for both teams. C. Zvezda Mali Mokri Lug is second bottom team with just 17 points so far but Radnicki Obrenovac have just 3 points more. Both teams are in deep fighting against relegation and both need just to win. For home side this is last train if you ask me. So I expect they will finally score goal as at last two games they did not score a single goal. In game like this players must give more than than 100 percent and in game like this one you can see everything. Over 2.5 goals for me.
That's why he plays. Have you seen the games? " Two shots on target (against Newcastle) and we conceded. We will improve. City enjoyed 77 percent of possession against Newcastle and had 24 goal attempts but were not clinical -- a theme that has developed this season, allowing Liverpool to pull clear.
Considering the gulf in class between the sides and Mallorca's record of six defeats from six on the road this season, Vicente Moreno's team were hardly expected to get anything against Barcelona at Camp Nou last weekend and the game panned out pretty much as anticipated.
The runaway Premier League leaders' unbeaten record this season came to a surprise end at Vicarage Road, with Ismaila Sarr scoring twice and setting up Troy Deeney for a third, ending their hopes of matching Arsenal's 'Invincible' 2003-04 season. They remain the overwhelming favourites to end the club's 30-year wait for the title and Klopp is eager to see his players dust themselves off and focus on the rest of the season.
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.
Imagine the humiliation of being beaten at noughts and crosses in front of the entire world. Colour it inNot content with getting involved in a game of noughts and crosses that should have had nothing to do with them, Manchester City also invited fans to get in touch with their artistic side. View more on twitterOn the subject of City, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan yesterday took to Twitter to give his message to fans.
In the build-up to the final "Calais-mania" gripped France - its TV channels, newspapers, bars and cafes were awash with talk of the “sang et ors” (Blood and Golds). All of France behind Calais!" declared Le Parisien. Unfortunately, not all of Calais could secure access to their side’s greatest moment. Far from it. The club received 50,000 applications for tickets for the final, but were allocated just 19,300 of the Stade de France’s 80,000 seats.
His goal against Manchester United was his 20th in 28 games that season, and he also scored twice against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in round four as Leeds earned a draw before bowing out in the replay at Elland Road. He ended the campaign with 31 goals in all competitions, including a vital last-day winner against Bristol Rovers to seal promotion. My winner that day is one of those moments that will stay with me forever and is probably the most famous goal of my whole career, but it was actually very similar to quite a few others I got that season.
Sporting have lost four of their seven home games in the league this season and are yet to draw at home, while Benfica boast a 100% record on the road with seven wins from seven away games. Sporting average 1.71 points per home game while Benfica average 3.00 points per away game, so you can see why we have backed the visitors to win on Friday.
I believe that this match from Champions league will be very interesting and very efficient, what is pretty natural to expect, if we know what was happened in first duel. So, Valencia is in big problem. They are lost last match against this rival in Italy with even 1-4, so team is in big problem and very difficult situation. Second problem is fact that because of "Coronavirus", this duel will be play on empty stadium. In any case, I see here fast match with a lot of chances and generally a lot of goals. I will try that here.
But the government is now to review gambling laws, and is considering regulating the way bookmakers advertise through football. But Labour - and anti-gambling campaigners - have called for shirt sponsorship by betting companies to be outlawed, as in countries like Italy. Adams would not be drawn on whether a blanket ban on shirt sponsorship by bookmakers was possible. The EFL has said gambling companies contribute £40m to its clubs each year through sponsorship.
Clubs voted to end the League Two campaign immediately on 15 May, also proposing that no team should be relegated to the National League. However, with the EFL including relegation in its framework for curtailing a season early, Stevenage would go down from League Two as it stands. Swindon, Crewe and Plymouth would be automatically promoted to League One. How the League One season will end has yet to be decided, although the EFL's confirmation that only 12 of the 23 clubs need to be in favour of finishing it early could be significant.
Their win rate when Vardy doesn’t start is less than 30% whereas with him it’s almost 50%. Iheanacho scored a fine goal and made an impression at Carrow Road, but Vardy remains a big loss in Leicester’s pursuit of a top four spot. You’d still expect Leicester to clinch Champions League football, but it’s far from straightforward for them.
KEY STATS Bernd Leno has made seven errors directly leading to an opposition goal in the Premier League since the beginning of last season, the most of any player. Since his Premier League debut in February 2018, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored more goals in the competition (45) than any other player, one more than both Jamie Vardy and Mohamed Salah (44).

Western Sydney Wanderers can’t boast any of this confidence. The visitors did manage to get a win when they faced the dreadful Central Coast Mariners last weekend, but their season as a whole has been a torrid one.
Sivasspor has a great season being on first place for a couple of rounds. But they could not keep the same tempo and are now sitting on 4th, but still with chances for the first place. They are 4 points behind Trabzonspor with today's match to play. It won't be an easy match, because Antalyaspor played well in the last games, being unbeaten in the last 7 games in first division. Sivasspor had some overs in their last games and for sure will go for attack in this one. We could see both teams scoring here and also overs like in last 2 games away of Sivasspor.

Against Arsenal, he had a total of 47 touches - most of which were on the left, close to the halfway line. Just three came inside the Gunners' penalty area. A strange stat'Those numbers surprised Bruce when they were put to him after the game. In the opposition box? Really?" he asked. That seems a strange stat. We have to find a way of scoring more and certainly Joe of being more selfish. He has played a lot of his career to a side and not played as an out-and-out number nine.
Lecce have a tough run of matches as the Serie A takes shape following a three-month break and they have a tough away trip to Juventus this Friday. Ahead of the game, Juventus top the standings with 66 points while Lecce have so far managed 25 points, in 18th place. Juventus have had a rough run in the Coppa Italia, failing to score against Milan and going on to lose to Napoli in the final.

I find the odds for the over 2.5 goals bet in this encounter quite decent as last season these two made it to the play-offs and it was the hosts who won in the play-offs this city derby. Of course the fact that both these sides are from the same city makes the home advantage a bit small this while during the normal season last term when they met here the game ended up in a 2-2 draw in the end so quite open game of football and 4 goals being scored in the end.
Walter Ferreti will host Managua for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the ambitious teams in this season. True, I believe, Managua is the better team in this league. The visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. In any case, this will be a very tense match. The hosts also will try to make a positive result. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Of course, this will not be an easy task. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Also, both sides will try to pay attention on their defense. My pick - Draw.

So far, FC Minsk have won 6 points in 3 matches, scoring 6 goals and conceding 5. They have been playing very average football, however they do have home field advantage and considering the fact there is big rivalry against BATE Borisov anything can happen.
The WTO also called for the country to "bring its measures into conformity with its obligations" under international law. Following the WTO report, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: "What the Premier League wants to do off the back our own efforts and the efforts of other sports is for Saudi Arabia to respond positively to the situation and to allow sports rights holders to protect their rights.
RATING: B - - - - - BURNLEY Sean Dyche's disregard for poacher-type strikers shows again as he's let Nakhi Wells go permanently having given him few playing opportunities (nine appearances in total) since his arrival in 2017. Meanwhile fellow poacher Matej Vydra and club-record signing Ben Gibson both remain in Lancashire, so maybe Dyche is thinking of actually playing them.
These included Inter Milan's visit to Juventus which would have been on Sunday night. The league subsequently also postponed the Serie A game between Sampdoria and Verona that had been scheduled for Monday. Playing around the calendar (fixture list) and always putting the public health as secondary consideration,” said Zhang, 28, in a post on Instagram aimed at Serie A president Paolo Dal Pino.
He's got a lot better at throwing the needle at me now and he's accepting it faster and reversing it back. We have a deal, in the backyard generally every night we'll play putting matches and the winner gets to keep the green jacket in the closet. Occasionally it's gone into his closet. Primarily it's stayed in mine but the fact he's been able to earn it off me because there are no wins that are given in this family.
Rubiales angered Spanish soccer traditionalists by expanding the contest between the league champions and Copa del Rey winners to a four-team format, shifting the event from August to January and pledging to take it outside Spain. He also faced a huge a backlash from campaign groups for signing a three-year deal to play the competition in Saudi Arabia, which is frequently accused of human rights abuses and where women were banned from attending matches until 2018.
It would certainly level the playing field across Europe but not just in individual matches. A by-product of smaller matchday squad could - probably would - be smaller squads, thus a broader spread of talent across leagues, which, in turn, could make the Champions League less of a borefest until the knockout rounds.

The influential midfielder sustained the issue in the latter stages of Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16. Hendo, it could have been worse.

Scoring goals does not seem to be a problem for them either and although they have had the occasional blip - like last week's defeat at Everton - I think Chelsea are in decent shape right now. Lawro's prediction: 2-0David's prediction: We had a bit of a hiccup against Everton which was a bit unexpected, and we clearly still have a bit of work to do, especially at the back. We are better at home, however, and I think we will come back from that defeat and win.
Watford gave up a two-goal lead at home to Everton last week, losing 3-2 to Carlo Ancelotti's side, while in contrast Brighton came back from 3-1 down at West Ham United to earn a 3-3 draw.

He took over with Flamengo in third place and eight points off the lead after 10 rounds. Five months later, they ended the season with a 16-point cushion over second-placed Santos and conquered the South American version of the Champions League with a dramatic 2-1 win over Argentina's River Plate. How did this all happen? Gabriel Barbosa has netted 25 goals in 29 games for Flamengo in the league this yearFlamengo play a brand of attacking football that Brazilians have not seen at domestic level for some time.
Meanwhile, Gary Holt is continuing to do an excellent job as Livingston boss. With extremely limited resources, the side comfortably avoided the drop upon their return to the top flight last season and look like doing so once again this campaign, coming into Thursday's game stationed an impressive 6th in the standings.
