And they were left seething on Saturday as they were outplayed by an injury-depleted Valencia side who won 2-0. Barca looked devoid of ideas other than passing the ball to Lionel Messi - a problem that cannot be said of their great rivals Real Madrid, who are finding ways to win games from unlikely sources.
This is an unprecedented situation," said Alexander Aleinik, a federation spokesman. One of the networks broadcasting Belarusian matches is Ukraine's Sport-1. Although it began broadcasting the league late last year - prior to the coronavirus outbreak - because many Ukrainians play in Belarus, viewers have been surprised by Belarusian league's quality.
Meanwhile, BGU’s Uzbek talisman Jasurbek Yakhshiboev warrants a mention for an impressive showing. A hand in the first goal, while he netted the second in second-half injury time. The defending was questionable, sure, but overall it was entertaining viewing, and Yakhshiboev's footwork was certainly the standout.
Manchester City aren’t exactly stalwart at the back right now, and the injury to Aymeric Laporte certainly isn’t helping things. Fernandinho has been deputising at centre back, resulting in just two clean sheets from their last six matches.
Rangers and Celtic would both have 'B' teams in the bottom tier of a 14-14-18 league set-up being proposed by the Ibrox club for next season. Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers would also be invited into the SPFL to make up an expanded League One, with the "innovation paper" also suggesting Hearts and Partick Thistle avoid their respective relegations. Both Old Firm B sides would immediately pay a £125,000 joining fee, with further payments to be made in each of the following three campaigns.
Santa Clara have only won twice at home this season and Boavista have only lost once on the road this season, drawing three times.

The 22-year-old Manchester United forward had been a doubt to return this season, and he might have even missed the now-postponed Euro 2020 tournament with England, but he has now said: ‘I’m in a much better place, I’m much happier than I was about a month ago, so things are looking positive. Paper Round’s view: This enforced break will be handy for Rashford, as it will a few other players who were set to miss out on the rest of the season - or much of it - with injury.

Have the rules changed since then?Ben: Maguire is a lucky boy. Should have been red. Matt: I'm not a fan of either team, but it infuriates me that the goal was disallowed. Fred pushes Azpilicueta who, in turn, pushes Williams. Why disallow the goal?Tristan: How on earth is that clear and obvious if it looks like Fred fouled Azpilicueta first?Keith: I'm sorry but. Andy: Offside is offside. That would have been offside everywhere.
Though Swansea had opportunities, it was Cardiff who were the more menacing side in the first period. Steve Cooper's team were guilty of giving the ball away cheaply and as a result found themselves on the back foot too often for their head coach's liking. Robert Glatzel, who had nodded wide early on, saw another header saved by Freddie Woodman. Nelson then sent a header straight at Swansea's goalkeeper before Glatzel pulled a shot badly off target when well placed.

Vitoria Guimaraes were held to a goalless draw away at Maritimo last time out while Santa Clara suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Rio Ave which saw the gap between Saturday’s pair increase to 5pts. Both teams have been involved in a number of low-scoring matches this season, especially in recent weeks, and five of the last six encounters between the two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals. Three of Guimaraes’ and three of Santa Clara’s last six matches in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals scored, so you can see why we are expecting another tight and tense affair on Saturday.

Sivasspor is on the top of the turkey super league table. This means that most of the turkey giants are weak. Assuming its half the fixtures, I can say this team has really improved compared to other seasons. This is a minor competition where they compete for another cup. Sivasspor has hope since it has proven to maintain it form on top. That means they will try to grab as many honors as possible. On the other hand yeni malatyaspor has not won against Sivasspor on the road. Yeni form is not poor but compared to Sivasspor winning spirit, adding on top home advantage I back home win
Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross will not publish nor comment on the findings of the report, his department said in a statement after it referred the audit to police. Delaney, who had led the association since 2005 and remains a member of the executive committee of European soccer's ruling body UEFA, left the FAI completely in September after being on gardening leave for months.
I fancy both the home win and the over 2.5 goals bet to happen here just like last season when Eibar won at home with 2-1 against Alaves who is really not that great away team and concedes goals much more easier on the road than away from home a couple of 4-1 or 4-2 defeats for them away from home and they were not world class opponents either so their defense can really not be trusted here but they should find the back of the net and I will take the over 2.5 goals bet here in this fixture at decent odds.

That's why he received a standing ovation and a huge cheer from the home fans before the game, bettered only by the roar when Dominic Calvert-Lewin's excellent diving header in the 80th minute finally broke a resolute Burnley defence, with Ancelotti later lauding the "fantastic" atmosphere and reception. It was so different earlier this month. Marco Silva's side were in the bottom three after a 5-2 humiliation by Liverpool.
Lionel Messi is fed up. According to the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, the Barcelona captain has broken off contract talks after finally running out of patience with the club because of the constant rumours and allegations that he is one of the prime reasons for unrest around the Nou Camp. Messi is disillusioned with any number of things emanating from his life at Barcelona at the moment. He is fed up of being accused of running the club, fed up of people saying he hires and fires the coaches, fed up of claims he chooses who should be signed and who should play and fed up with the general direction of the club and the huge mistakes they have made in the transfer market.

Match for the Oberliga in Germany where after a balanced match the hosts will be able for me to win and so my bet is on them. The teams are Verlber SC and Velber TVD. The hosts after 16 matches have 14 points. Have less points than opponent but both are in bottom zone. Hosts did 2 wins and a only 1 defeat in the last 4 matches played and did 2 wins in the last 2 matches played at home. The guests did only 1 win in the last 5 matches played and so for me won't win here.

When I listen to managers complaining or moaning, I understand it. Emotionally, it's really tough to take. I also have sympathy for the referees and, in this case, VAR officials because there are rules that have been laid down. It was one where common sense could have been involved but, if the rule book states something, then the handball is given. He added: "VAR has improved us in ways but there are ways to improve it.
