The dribble. One of the most exciting aspects of football. A good dribbler gets supporters off their seats as they glide past opponents. But there can be frustration too - all that build-up, no end product and a loud groan from the stands. Now a new 'ball-carrying' metric from data analysts Opta - which measures players running with the ball for at least five metres - means we not only know which players take on the most dribbles, but whose are the most effective too.
Minsk will host BATE for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have the motivation to get all three points. Yeah, BATE is not very good team at the start of the new season. They are currently on the 11th place with 3 points. No doubt, the visitors have the motivation to change their positions. I think, they will go in this game to victory. Also, we have Minsk who's is very average team in this league. I think, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. In any case, this will be tense match. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
Duncan Ferguson will remain as Everton caretaker manager for Sunday's Premier League game at Manchester United.

The club are continuing to weigh up their options as regards a permanent manager - with ex-boss David Moyes still figuring heavily in discussions.

Tractor Sazi will host Naft Masjed Soleyman for this fixture of the league. I believe, Tractor are more ambitious team in this league. Yeah, the hosts are favorites in this game. Tractor have advantage at home stadium. True, they are not convincing team in this season. Also, Tractor is a very unpredictable team in recent times. In last game Tractor is won 1-0 against Foolad. Also, we have Naft M. I. S who's is also very average team in this season. However, the visitors are in better shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, the visitors have the potential to provide s strong resistance. My pick - Naft Masjed Soleyman to win.
Villa have drawn two and lost one of their last three games but that just isn't good enough. They remain in the bottom three, though only on goal difference. If they are going to escape relegation, they need to start winning matches but haven't done that in the Premier League since January. Just two points have been earned from their last seven league games and they have a tough run-in.
Juve Stabia seems to have more than a chance in this away game vs Pisa: they actually are one of the best shaped teams in the whole League, having won 4 out of the last 5 games and having even conceded no goal in the last 2, which they have both won by 1-0. Pisa has collected no more than 2 points in the last 4 games and has scored a sum of just 2 goals in those matches, so the visitors could collect a win even scoring once. Juve Stabia has recently beaten Chievo in an away game, so winning against a quite weak team like Pisa is likely.
At three o'clock on a Saturday, I was wound up to batter everybody. You go out and do the things you're good at. I never got beat in the air. The boy that comes to mind is [Steven] Thompson from Rangers - I won every single header for Airdrie at 38 years of age against him playing for Dundee United. I retired two games later and he signed for Rangers a few weeks after that. I stuck the nut on him and got the sack'Brannigan's candour is also a mark of the time he played in.
Middlesbrough head here without a victory in their last 10 matches, while Barnsley can better that. The visitors have failed to win their last 16 games in the second-tier, leaving them in last place. If they slip up against their relegation rivals here, there may be no way out for the away side.
Slavia had an excellent result against in the first leg defeating BATE Borisov at home with 1-0 but since that win Slavia have looked poor with no win in the next 3 games and conceding 5 goals. And they have a poor record at BATE Borisov losing in 10 of the previous 11 visits conceding a total of 32 goals.
Hertha BSC host their biggest rival Union Berlin in the 27th round of the Bundesliga. Hertha BSC were really impressive in their last match where they won 3:0 against Hoffenheim away. Union Berlin had really tough game against Bayern Munich. If you look at the table there is no quality gap between these two squads.
Patryk Klimala is in Glasgow as he is set to finalise his move to Celtic from Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok. The striker, 21, arrived in Scotland on Sunday night with a view to signing a reported four-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish champions. Capped five times for Poland Under-21s, Klimala has scored seven goals in 17 games this season for Bialystok. Speaking outside Celtic Park on Monday, Klimala told STV he was "excited" about the potential move.
Frosinone come into this one with a decent scoring record on the road. They’ve found the net in five of their last six trips in this competition. Meanwhile, Parma have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last seven matches in this competition. With the hosts shipping a goal in 75% of their home league games this season and following their 3-1 win over Serie B opposition in the last round, we’re backing a 2-1 Parma victory as our correct score prediction.

Inter Milan host Bulgarians Ludogorets Razgrad behind closed doors as the authorities try to contain the coronavirus that has made northern Italy the focal point of the outbreak in Europe.
With the hosts’ home games producing an average of 3.56 total goals per game and the visitors’ away games seeing an average of 3.20 total goals scored, you can see why we have backed over 2.5 goals to be produced in Monday’s match. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 78% of AZ Jong’s home games as well as in 70% of Oss’s away games so far this season, with both teams scoring in 89% of AZ Jong’s home matches.

Guardiola's generous donation will go towards buying medical equipment and protective material for hospital staff in Catalonia.
Football is suspended in the UK and across Europe because of the coronavirus pandemic, so how is the lockdown affecting those at the heart of the sport?From a manager living 1,000 miles away from his wife and children because of the virus to a sporting director trying to run a Premier League club while self-isolating, BBC Sport columnist Guillem Balague talks via video conference to four people with different roles in football to find out how they are coping.
Another match where we should not see much goals or this should be a match where nothing special happens. Both teams are fighting at the bottom at the league to avoid relegation and as this is a direct duel between two teams that can be relegated I don't think that any of the coaches will want to risk anything and will force too much as this is a high value match. Both teams are mostly playing tight and even matches this season and the same goals when they are playing each other.I don't see any winner here. All I see is one boring match.

However, it is understood the 49-year-old has said he will not be doing that and remains committed to the club. Guardiola is likely to discuss the issue after Wednesday's rearranged Premier League game against West Ham. In a bizarre situation, neither side has played since the initial game was postponed due to bad weather on 9 February. As both clubs held pre-match news conferences two days before the game was supposed to be played, they have been told by the Premier League there is no contractual requirement to hold another and it is understood neither side will do so.
Giggs is scheduled to announce his squad at some point next week for the 27 March friendly with Austria at the Liberty Stadium and the game against the States at the Cardiff City Stadium three days later. Ramsey, capped 60 times, played only one full game in Wales' Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, scoring both goals in the 2-0 home win over Hungary which clinched his country's place at this summer's finals.
Liverpool were far from their best but midfielder James Milner said it was important to respond from three defeats in their last four games in all competitions, especially as they face Atletico Madrid next week seeking to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the Champions League last 16. It was important that the boys showed great attitude to come back after some iffy results," Milner said.
Mind games over the Nubel deal The first issue Neuer faces is the transfer of Alexander Nubel, who will follow in Neuer's footsteps from Schalke to the Allianz Arena on a free in the summer. Nubel possesses many of the same qualities as Neuer - he is one of the outstanding goalkeepers in the Bundesliga and he is a leader, having been given the Schalke captaincy at a young age.

Both Kouka and Teixeira describe his "speeches", performed to whip up his players into a frenzy just in time for kick-off. The tone would vary depending on the situation but Nuno generally judged the mood right. He knew when to be calm and when to be angry," says Kouka. He sometimes would shout at me as he wants the best from everyone but he did it with respect as he respects everyone. As a goalkeeper turned elite manager, Nuno has already broken the mould as a coach and there seems little to stop him going even higher.
Okay, so given the form of the hosts, calling it an upset probably isn’t accurate. However, if it is framed as a clash between play-off contenders and a side fighting relegation, it is easy to see why some would expect the hosts to come out on top. The lack of form by the hosts means it seems very unlikely they will claim the points, but it is hard to trust a side in the bottom four to come out on top. With this in mind, adding the “Draw – No Bet” safety net looks to be wise move to make.
Liverpool hammered Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday for their seventh straight win in the Premier League.

The Premier League is hopeful of a potential 8 June resumption. The 20 club doctors have been holding their own discussions about Project Restart - the label given to plans to resume action - with a view to feeding their thoughts into the Premier League's leadership. A Premier League source told the BBC that they viewed the move by the medics as a natural part of the process with clubs, and a means of reaching "the best possible set of protocols".
I did expect we'd buy someone in January but what has impressed me most is the academy players coming through. It's all well and good buying success, but you have to build success too and the problem with Chelsea is there has been no continuity. If they can give Frank time, build from the bottom up, buy when needed, it's a recipe for success.
The Seagulls showcased some of the progress they have made this term in their reverse fixture against Everton earlier in the campaign when they came out on the right side of a five-goal thriller against the Toffees at the Amex Stadium.
Only problem was, he had no oars and began to drift out to sea. Hay and Eric Schaedler tried to rescue him, but the boat they purloined had a hole in it so they frantically rowed back to the shore. Johnstone had to be rescued by the coastguard, becoming front page news in the process. We gave the perfect response the following Saturday by beating England 2-0," says Hay. You couldn't say Jimmy beat England singlehandedly but he helped destroy them.
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce says he has been told "there's nothing" in reports of a takeover of the club, by managing director Lee Charnley. BBC Sport understands talks on the potential £340m takeover of the St James' Park side by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund are "advanced". However, Bruce said: "If there was something to talk about and something to tell me, he'll (Charnley) tell me.
For White, this is a worrying statistic as the England striker knows it is the attendances away from the bigger occasions that will dictate the future of the women's game. It's about people coming back and watching WSL games week on week, not just when we're playing at big stadiums," said White, who is on the 20-woman shortlist for this year's Ballon d’Or, the winner to be announced in Paris this evening.
We will continue to work with the authorities to help eradicate the growing problem of discrimination within football.

Fulham win their last game and it seems like they are back on track for top of the table after 3 defeats in a row but despite Luton is in horrible shape with just 6 points from last 11 games, I think Fulham is not going to be able to win tomorrow simply because they don't seem like a consistent team and they just depend too much from Aleksandar Mitrovic but of course they should not be defeated, and on the other side, for Luton,draw versus top 7 team on table Will be just like the victory and I think they Will get that draw

In the initial game, there was a distinct lack of high-quality scoring chances. Boston forged one good chance, while Rochdale were mainly restricted to shots from distance. On that occasion, the pair shared just five shots on target, the majority of which came from outside the box. Keeping this in mind, 'Under 2.5 Goals' stands out in the betting. Neither side will want to do anything stupid, while the hosts haven't made a habit of being involved in high-scoring games at this venue. Less than three goals have been scored in only two of Boston's seven home games in the National League North this season.
Wright: "When you hear Sir Alex Ferguson talk about Cantona and the impression he had on all the players coming through and what they went on to achieve, you can't put a price on that kind of professionalism. You are talking about someone who was the ultimate talisman in a football team. He had such an aura about him. Shearer: "If you are going to play with your collar up you have to be some player and he was.
With Scotland international Scott McTominay one of United's best performers of the season and both Fred and Nemanja Matic improving as the campaign went along, the midfield area - once a weakness - has become a strength. Any of them would be capable of playing a full season as a regular at Manchester United so it's given me a nice challenge to pick the right ones against the right opponents," said Solskjaer.
The 33-year-old told Goal: "That moment I was playing with him, I saw so much quality and so much potential in that player "As soon as I saw the news, the possibilities, I told him, ‘Don’t choose Manchester City, don’t choose any other team. You choose Man United!’ "After a couple of months, he moved to Manchester United and I was so, so happy because that advice and his choice were matching.
The hosts now known as Reggio Audace played their last 3 games at home with Padova ending with just 1-1, but there are reasons to hope for over 2.5 goals being scored here as not only have 9 out of their last 10 home games this season ended with both teams scoring but 8 of those games including 5 games in a row in the league ended with over 2.5 goals sometimes even over 3.5 goals scored as they are undefeated in the league at home despite conceding 11 goals in 9 home games they also scored 20.
Borussia Dortmund are in top form and had an easy win last weekend. Away form was patchy earlier in the season but had been improved before the Bundesliga was suspended. With league leaders Bayern Munich likely to beat Eintracht Frankfurt, Dortmund can't afford to drop points at Wolfsburg. The home side are battling to get into the Europa League but haven't got the best of home form, go for an away victory here.
