The visitors cannot stop conceding goals - they have let in at least three in their last five games - so a stopgap solution to the problem is scoring more themselves. With that solution is mind, the form of Andre Silva is encouraging. On loan from Milan, Silva is a striker of outstanding potential who has failed to live up to expectations since his big-money move to Italy in 2017.
In the betting, a home win is hard to oppose. Specifically, 'Marseille to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' catches the eye. Bordeaux aren't mugs, but they've not made light work of getting the job done of late, winning none of their last three on the road. They don't concede an abundance of goals, nor has there been an abundance of goals in their recent away matches, but they seemingly lack Marseille's knack of coming out on top. Marseille have won each of their last four at home, all of which have seen less than four goals go in, while they are the team (out of these two) that are better at restricting the opposition and bettering them in terms of shots and shots on target. All in all, a low-scoring win for the hosts stands out as the best option.
All of the big guns rested for the UCL, PSG will start a line-up that would still contend for the Ligue 1 title. That isn't to say that Strasbourg will wilt. No respect to Edinson Cavani, but when teams see that Kylian Mbappe isn't playing, belief surges. No matter who comes out on top, we see it being another low-scoring game between these teams. Bet on under 2.5 goals.
John Egan (Sheffield United) header from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by John Fleck with a cross. Crystal Palace secured their first win of 2020 thanks to Patrick van Aanholt's superb first-half free-kick which saw off visitors Newcastle. The victory also ended a run of three league defeats for Roy Hodgson's side who benefitted from yet another ragged display by the visitors.
What they discovered was that English players’ success rate of 61. However, their conversion rate for penalties during games in World Cups and European Championships (90%) and in European leagues (75%) are above the overall averages of 78. Michel Brinkschulte, Philip Furley and Daniel Memmert, the study authors, conclude that such comparisons do not represent “statistical significance” and that “our results implicate there are no significant differences between the success rates of penalty takers from different nations”.
Burnley's return of two clean sheets from eight Premier League outings doesn't improve on Newcastle's figure by much, and with both defences looking far from watertight, we think there is a strong chance that goals will be scored at either end at Turf Moor on Saturday.
This would save about £760million on our TV contracts but do nothing for all the other lost income. And, as worried as I am about the financial impact, I am more worried about the health and wellbeing of my players. Paper Round’s view: Brady rightly places the lives above the short-term (though expensive) damage done to finances, something that can't be said for the Conservative Party that she serves in the House of Lords.
What were Francis and Cook thinking putting their young goalkeeper under pressure like that? There's a time for playing out from the back and a time to just get rid. GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Watford (Deeney): That should do it! More slack defending from a Bournemouth point-of-view. Sarr gets to the by-line too easily, Doucoure's shot is blocked but the hosts can't clear and Deeney smashes home a vicious shot.
Yet clubs have also requested that relegation from the fourth tier is removed this season. That might have meant bad news for Barrow, top of the National League - which was ended last month - but Bury's expulsion from the EFL in August means there is a space to be filled for next season. Hopefully we come on the end of the right outcome, which is what we deserve and I don't think many people can argue about it," said Barrow boss Ian Evatt.
Traditional derby in Budapest. Ujpest lost the last game against Ferencvaros and recently at Varda (0-1) and thus remains at risk of relegation at the third bottom. Honved has already played 4 competitive games after break and were very successful. In the cup semi-final against MTK (twice 0-0, then victorious in penalty shootout) , in the league there was a 3-1 home win against Debrecen at the league start and on Wednesday the
But I’m not every player. I’m 34, I’ve had a long career and I’ve earned well. I’m in a place where I could give something up. Not every footballer is in the same position. Yet suddenly the whole profession has been put on the spot with a demand for 30 per cent pay cuts across the board. Why are footballers suddenly the scapegoats? " How the past few days have played out is a disgrace.
Blues win tight semi-finalChelsea, who were 4-1 winners at Arsenal in the WSL on 19 January to take the initiative in the league title race, will now bid for their first League Cup triumph. Emma Hayes' side were denied in the first half by Mary Earps' superb save to keep out Millie Bright's header, but Earps could not stop Mjelde's clinical finish from a very tight angle with 18 minutes to go.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Bradford will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in the visitors’ favour. Bradford have been performing well away from home of late while Plymouth have only picked up two wins from their last six home games in league and cup, which is why we believe the visitors will take home at least a point, but more likely all three, this weekend.
Immediately after he left, they had to cope without their best remaining centre-half. They have not had a dominant player in that department all season, so I am sure it will be a priority for Guardiola to put it right when the next transfer window opens. Before then, he is going for more silverware. The title is gone but City are still trying to retain the FA Cup - as they did the Carabao Cup - and going for the Champions League too.
The Telegraph reports that players are confused by the Spaniard's selections, tactics and instructions, and that there is a growing sentiment inside the squad that Emery should be sacked to get Arsenal back on track. A source told Telegraph Sport: “The problem is the coach. He still makes bad decisions and changes his tactics.
With Damien Duff, the reports coming out of Celtic this season have been absolutely outstanding," Kenny said. The postponement of the European Championship play-offs until the autumn - with Euro 2020 now moved to next year - forced the FAI's hand in having to replace McCarthy. When McCarthy was appointed in November 2018, it was announced that Kenny would succeed him at the end of the Euro 2020 campaign but the coronavirus crisis means that the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign is set to start next March in advance of the European finals.
James Chester (2008-) Hull, Aston Villa. Promotion (2012-13, 2018-19)Chester has yo-yoed between the Championship and Premier League this decade, helping Hull and Aston Villa get promoted. Villa paid £9m in 2016 for the centre-half, who missed the second half of last season as Dean Smith's side won the play-off final. Lewis Dunk (2009-) Brighton. Promotion (2016-17), team of the season (2016-17)Dunk spent half of the decade in the Championship with Brighton, who finished second to Newcastle in 2016-17 to reach the top flight.
Gangwon x FC Seoul last 2 matches at Gangwon's ended 3 x 2 both of them! Real price for the yes on bts is 1,54 so at 1,67 we can see some value, together with a great confidence on the past results. Gangwon finished 6th last year and FC Seoul 3rd but they are almost a match in terms of goals average, scored and conceded! I think this match will end in a draw 1 x 1 or even 2 x 1 or 1 x 2. I think this is a pretty safe bet and it's a very good price
Greuther Furth is a strong middle peasant league, which has virtually no tournament motivation. After recent meetings with Arminia (2: 4), Vechen (1: 1), Stuttgart (2: 0), Holstein (1: 1) and Hamburg (2: 2) Trefoils found themselves on the seventh line of the tournament table. Their assets include 37 points with a goal difference of 39:35.

Cukaricki is at 4th place at standings, and after ten rounds they are still without defeat at home ground, but it was in the first part of the season, and it won't be an easy task for them to continue it with good results, in winter transfer window they are sold maybe their best player defender Miroslav Bogosavac, and today they will play against table leaders and the best club in Serbia, Red Star. Visitors has new coach, Dejan Stankovic, he will be without Gajic in defense, also attacker Tomane is injured, but no matter of it, Red Star should collect three points from this duel.
Such gifted feet meant Mount was kept from stepping between the ropes and raising his hands, but his close relationship with grandad Bill ensured he was instilled with a boxer's resilience and work ethic. Regular visits to Fratton Park to watch his beloved Portsmouth with dad began at the age of four, and the aspiring midfielder would pay particularly close attention to the technique and decision making of Gary O'Neil and Argentine playmaker Andres D'Alessandro - a signed shirt from the latter hangs in his house to this day.
We asked Eurosport France’s Vincent Bregevin for his expert opinion on the full back. WILL ANYONE IN PARIS MISS KURZAWA IF HE LEAVES? Not really. He has not lived up to the hype since he joined from Monaco after a very promising season. This season, he’s backup to Juan Bernat at left back but Abdou Diallo can play there too, so my guess is that PSG have no reason to keep him.
We feel that this game is likely to deliver plenty of goals. Werder Bremen currently sit in 15th place in the Bundesliga table. However, they have proven themselves capable of scoring plenty of goals this season. They have scored 23 goals in 15 Bundesliga games so far. They have also scored over 1.5 goals in 53% of their Bundesliga games.

He's had a scan today. We hope it's not a ligament issue. We hope it's a kick but. Gary Cahill," Hodgson told a news conference. We hope to recover the pair of them for the game at the weekend (against Watford). Palace, who ended a winless run of five league games against Burnley at the weekend, are 11th in the table with 18 points from 14 games.
However, this season has seen him start only four games and trailed in more advanced position. This has lead to speculation that the combative midfielder is unhappy and open to move. Though he has reiterated his focus is fully on playing for the Gunners, he left the door open by admitting he will ‘ see what happens’ in the future.
This match is known for the plenty of goals scored in it; eight of the last 10 matches between the two sides have yielded over 2.5 goals. Both sides will feel capable of winning this, with Groningen drawing confidence from their earlier win over Ajax as well as a good run at home. Vitesse on the other hand, have a healthy away run; unbeaten in the last four matches, with three wins. They are also unbeaten in eight and have scored two or more in five of those. Seeing that this game rarely yields draws, and is high scoring, the best bet is to go for over 2.5 goals.
She kept in touch with them via Facetime but admitted it was difficult as "there wasn't anything to talk about because nothing was happening". But the lockdown made Beckie "incredibly humbled by the situation", which she described as "a little bit freaky" and was something "nobody in the world knows how to deal with". I wouldn't say I'm a high-anxiety person but I'm a deep thinker. I over think a lot of things and like to be busy which was really hard for me during lockdown," said Beckie.

Kapfenberger SV will host Dornbirn for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will try to make a positive result. I expect, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. Kapfenberger is worst team in the league. They are currently bottom in the table. In any case, Kapfenberger want to win. Also, we have Dornbirn is also weak team in this campaign. Dornbirn is team of the relegation zone. I think, the visitors have a very difficult task on the road. So, Kapfenberger is better team at home. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.

A ball-boy was hugged and the home crowd responded as only they could to a true Blue great who had coaxed a full-throttle performance from a side who looked so abject in a humiliating 5-2 midweek derby defeat at Liverpool. From the moment Richarlison thumped a fifth-minute header past the keeper -- a goal similar to the many Ferguson scored in his decade at the club -- the result was never in doubt.
For 25 minutes, the Blues looked like a side who have suffered at home at the hands of defensive-minded opponents. West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton - sides then with form and league position not dissimilar to Burnley - have all been to west London and left with a clean sheet and three unexpected points. Despite adding the inventive Ross Barkley to a midfield three already containing Mason Mount they lacked the incisiveness and crispness of passing required to open up a well-drilled Clarets.
Is Moyes actually a perfect fit?Moyes should not simply be dismissed because of the decline in his career and fortunes since leaving Everton - he will certainly bring some realism and pragmatism to West Ham's current plight as they lie 17th, one point off the relegation places. Moyes' record at West Ham - he took over from Slaven Bilic in November 2017 with the club in the relegation zoneHe will relish being back out on the training ground working with West Ham's players, always regarded as his great strength, and there is no doubt there is more quality in this squad than the one he left behind.
