Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla will host Hapoel Bnei Lod for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this match. Beitar have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. True, Beitar is very unpredictable team in recent times. They have big fluctuations. On the other hand Hapoel Bnei Lod is one of the teams of relegation group. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. Of course, they have a very difficult task in this campaign. In any case, they have nothing to lose. I expect, the visitors will try to move aggressively. My pick - Hapoel Bnei Lod to win.
It's crazy. This schedule doesn't make sense," the Portuguese told reporters on Tuesday. In our case we are the team who has more competitions already and we are going to play with 45 hours between games, it's absurd. It's one of the issues every time we have a meeting with the FA, we try to make them understand what it means to the players.
Juergen Klopp's unbeaten side had earlier beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Anfield. Pep Guardiola, City's manager, declined to declare the title race was over but repeated his view that it was pointless to even discuss the issue. It's unrealistic to think about it. When a team has the numbers that Liverpool has, why should we think about it, when we are 14 or 17 behind?" he said.
The hosts have only picked up 6pts at home this season while the visitors have secured just 7pts on the road and each side need to be winning more games if they want to avoid relegation. Aves average 0.86 points per home game while Portimonense average 0.88 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result on Saturday is a draw.
Manager Maurizio Sarri will have one new concern before this match, as Blaise Matuidi has suffered a rib fracture and joined Giorgio Chiellini and Marko Pjaca on the injury list. Even though there are many amazing players in their squad, the one who is always in the spotlight is their biggest star, Cristiano Ronaldo. He is their top scorer with 5 goals netted and 1 assist made so far this season.
Reds went to Qatar to win, and they did' Media playback is not supported on this device No pass, no porridge - Klopp denied entry at breakfast Winning the Club World Cup was the only thing that mattered to Liverpool in Doha. To be part of the first Liverpool team to win that competition was a huge incentive for Klopp and his players, and they were absolutely desperate to do it. I know exactly how they felt, because it was the same for me when I was part of the Reds side beaten in the 2005 final.
In the upcoming game of Scottish League Two, Elgin will play against Edinburgh City. In my opinion, there is no real favorite here. Elgin is currently in fifth place with five wins, seven draws and six losses. Edinburgh, meanwhile, is in second place with 13 wins, two draws and three losses. Edinburgh are currently in a good mood and have taken four wins in a row, but Elgin has also lost only one game from their last five league games. It was always close between these two teams, the last four direct duels all from last year ended in a draw.
Brentford have only lost one of their last ten home league games. Sheffield Wednesday have only earned two points from their last four away league fixtures. Sheffield Wednesday have conceded three goals in all but one of their last four matches. Brentford's hopes of automatic promotion to the Championship are fading.
Restart of the season now in the lower division of Spain. The two teams are close to the relegation zone and have to look further to collect points. Oviedo sit 17th in the standings and only 1 point ahead of the relegation zone, Ponferradina is ranked 11th in the standings but the bottom line is that they are only 5 points ahead of the relegation. Ponferradina narrowly won 2-1 in the first leg, here I expect a 1-1 draw. Both teams stand by 5 points in the table. Real Oviedo has 8 draws at home in 15 games this season. Ponferradina is the worst away team but has good number of draws.
Nantes have the head to head advantage over the visitors, while the gulf between them in the table is telling. They have won 67% of their home matches this season, while a loss to PSG is their only setback in December so far, winning their three other matches. They’ve won five of their last six at home in this competition, a run which we’re backing to continue as Nantes are good value for the home win.
Swansea are unbeaten in five of their last six Championship home matches. The midweek Championship fixture list pits Swansea City against Queens Park Rangers at Liberty Stadium. Both teams are coming off the back of defeats at the weekend. At the time of writing, Swansea are in ninth place in the table despite going down 3-2 at home to Derby County on Saturday.

Javier Calleja's side are now without a win in six La Liga games following three draws and three defeats, and although last weekend's 0-0 stalemate against Atletico Madrid at La Ceramica can be considered a fair result, they desperately need a victory soon to restore confidence and prevent being drawn into the relegation picture.
There weren’t many that would’ve predicted Wycombe would be top of League One on Christmas Day but that is the outcome of a fantastic first half of the season for Gareth Ainsworth and his squad, who have tasted defeat just once this season, all the way back in mid-September.
Match between Lida vs Volna. My bet on this match is home team will win. Another match for club friendly match in Sweden and here the home team favorite are going to take the win for me. Hosts are coming from a win and are in good shape. In the last 5 matches at home they won 4 matches and 1 draw. In theirs h2h matches we usually did see many goals so it's under match. I think that hosts are better team and closer to win. In the last 5 games of h2h at home they have won 4 times and lost only once.
Cricket World Cup hero Buttler raises over £65,000 for coronavirus effort England limited overs vice captain Jos Buttler, who enacted the winning run out in the World Cup final and hit a vital four in the famous super over, has auctioned off his jersey for the match on e-Bay, raising over £65,000 for the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity, a lung and heart specialist in London.

The only other players to score 20 Bundesliga goals while still a teenager are Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz (24) - who is now 20 - and the long-retired Horst Koppel (24) and Olaf Thon (20). Dortmund - who were wearing a special black shirt to celebrate their 110th anniversary - moved up to third in the table, two points ahead of sixth-placed champions Bayern Munich, while Fortuna Dusseldorf dropped into the relegation play-off spot.
I can't see here Sporting not to score. Basaksehir is not so good lately. At the end, they lost 3-1 in Portugal and it wasn't happen by accident. Sporting was much better team in that game and they will defend today and wait for contra attack. Home side with Demba Ba upfront always dangerous but also very shaky back in defense. So I prefer here over 2.5 bet than home win. Sporting with much more experience in Europe and without chances to fight for title in Portugal will give all they have in this game. Home side have fight for title in Turkey...

You wouldn't believe we were at the wrong end of the table early in the game. I was disappointed that we weren't able to recover after they equalised. We had a couple of moments but the second goal was a killer blow. You are used to these conditions. The pitch played well but we lost momentum as the game went on. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder: "We were hanging on at times. We grew into the game and I felt a goal was coming.
Constant changes to the match day squads left players unsettled and some even aired their dissatisfaction publicly. Being eight points off safety and with nine matches to go, Bremen have a lot to do but will be without the suspended Davy Klaasen in this game. Defensively, Bremen have been the worst in the league this season; they have conceded 55 goals and have not done well in attack either.
The use of VAR, match officials who use technology to review certain decisions made by the referee, has been surrounded by controversy over the last few months. Some fans say the system goes far beyond its original remit -- which involved only reviewing the most glaring mistakes -- and that decisions are taking too long.
These two clubs have a proud history in the Belarus Cup, especially in recent years. Shakhtyor are the current holders and will look to get a good lead to take to Premier League champions Dinamo Brest for the second leg. Both sides have made an average start to the new league season and their six games between them have only seen nine goals scored. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game looks the one to make.
They have won seven of the last 10 matches and have eight clean sheets in the 10 matches. Going to this game, Al Ahly haven’t been scoring a lot; in their last four matches, they have scored more than a goal in just one match. At the world stage though, the African giants have managed just four wins in their 13 matches.
AZ Alkmaar, who were leading the standings with Ajax when the league was suspended last month because of the coronavirus pandemic, and PSV Eindhoven, champions in 2018 and runners-up last season, added their voices to a call made by Ajax technical director Marc Overmars. We find the current coronavirus situation extremely concerning and think to complete the rest of the season behind closed doors in irrelevant,” AZ technical director Robert Eenhoorn told Dutch media.
Dinamo Brest have conceded seven goals in their last three games. Both teams have scored in two of the last four Brest away league matches. The last three Belshina league games have seen both teams score. Belshina remain bottom of the Belarus Premier League and are already five points from safety. They host defending champions Dinamo Brest who are one place above the relegation zone.
Paul Pogba has been included in the Manchester United squad for Sunday's Premier League game at Watford. The midfielder, 26, has not played since the draw with Arsenal on 30 September after having ankle surgery. The French international's return to action was put on hold last week after he picked up an illness while at his brother's wedding in France. However, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Friday that Pogba had started training again.
The quality across the squad is top tier," he added. I also think the fact there is no egos there either is important too. I think the addition of Virgil van Dijk at the start of 2018 was the best signing the club has ever made. He was exactly what we needed in our defence and he completely changed the complexion of the whole club. I remember the first game he played for us, against Everton in the FA Cup.

MANCHESTER, England, March 12 (Reuters) - Liverpool's Champions League last-16 exit to Atletico Madrid was a bitter blow for Juergen Klopp's side, but with their first Premier League title in 30 years inching ever closer, a Merseyside derby should certainly refocus their minds. Liverpool could even secure the title in Monday's clash against Everton at Goodison Park in the unlikely event that Manchester City, the only team who can mathematically catch Klopp's team, were to lose at home to Burnley on Saturday.
That dreadful record should make for some interesting reading for Burnley, though the Clarets will need to drag their performance levels up a few notches to take advantage of their visitor's travel sickness this week.

Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, travelled to Madrid for talks with Madrid president Florentino Perez in an effort to secure the services of the 30-year-old forward who moved from White Hart Lane to Madrid for what, in 2013, was a world record transfer of £85 million.
