For our correct score prediction, we think that home advantage should provide enough of an edge for the hosts to come out on top, but we cannot see there being too much between the sides. The recent improvement in front of goal by Colchester is something which cannot be ignored and although they only average 1.38 goals per game at home at the moment, that average is steadily increasing. However, we cannot see them keeping a clean sheet and the fact that they are averaging 1.56 goals per game away from home suggests to us that a 2-1 home win is the way to go.
Inter face Roma in Serie A on Friday, in a match which sees former Manchester United team-mates Lukaku and Smalling go head to head. Corriere dello Sport ran with the ‘Black Friday’ headline for its Thursday edition, a move which "overshadowed" its intention to be positive, said Roma chief strategy officer Paul Rogers.
We shall continue to review this position. We hope the current discussions between the Premier League, PFA and LMA will result in players and coaches doing their bit for the football eco system. As the virus continues to wreak havoc across the world, with the cancellation of major sporting events continuing, Levy also had a stern message for those expecting a return to normality anytime soon.
On the European front, Los Blancos have recovered from their heavy 3-0 beating at PSG to record victories against Galatasaray and Club Brugge, and their 2-2 draw at home to PSG last week ensured their progress to the Last 16 of the Champions League.
Bali United will be taking on Persib Bandung in this round of the top tier in Indonesia this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have both teams score a goal in this game as they are both very good offensively and the fact that they did not score in their last respective matches should mean that their appetites have increased. The hosts have managed to score an average of 2.2 goals in their last 5 games at home and they can get at least 1 goal here. The visitors have been scoring an average of 1.4 goals in their last 5 games on the road and they should score at least a goal here
Lyon won a game in the cup away from home at a 3rd league side Bourg Peronnas with no less than 7-0 on the road followed by qualifying to the League Cup semi-finals stage of the competition following a 3-1 win at home against Brest, so quite good scoring form they are in right now but rarely their defense has been trusted to keep a clean sheet this season and Bordeaux usually does well to score goals when playing against Lyon.
RETRO CORNER On this day in 2007, Henrik Larsson scores on his debut for Manchester United, against Aston Villa – managed by his old Celtic boss Martin O’Neill – in the FA Cup. His was a slightly odd time at United: this was one of only three goals, but you’ll struggle to find a United player around at the time who has anything but glowing praise for Larsson, and include Alex Ferguson in that too.
Jose's new excuse Tottenham’s tricky spell under Jose Mourinho continued on Sunday as they had to come from a goal down to draw 1-1 against Jonathan Woodgate’s Middlesbrough. Lucas Moura saved Spurs from a minor giant-killing and Mourinho dig deep into his excuses bag as he tried to explain the disappointing nature of the display.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Jose helps himself by saying Spurs don’t want Zlatan Here’s the thing about Jose Mourinho at Tottenham: he might win some games, but will the people actually like him? Sure, they might like those wins, but will he alienate the fans before they get a chance to actually warm to him.
Host team did start well in this season, and they have made two big win, along with the draw against one of the competition best teams in Leipzig. They are now facing Augsburg, which beat them in the first part of the league 4-0.
Goalkeeper Ederson was shown a straight red card as the reigning champions played over 75 minutes with 10 men in the defeat at Molineux. Guardiola said he will "have to evaluate the players" before making any changes for Sunday's visit of Sheffield United to Etihad Stadium. Of course we have to put fresh legs because Sheffield United are so physical as well, but in these conditions, I don't know," said Guardiola.
SPAL have won seven of their last 10 Serie A meetings against promoted teams, as they’ve targeted the weaker sides for points to beat the drop in recent years. They should be confident of getting a result against this Brescia side who have lost their last four away trips. After seven straight defeats and the worst record in the league, SPAL are worthy favourites. When they last met in the 2016/17 season, SPAL won home and away. We’re backing them for another win this week.
Taipower was second in the league in the previous season. They made a good result and break, beating the champion and main rival in the first round. Team kept on with the minimal win against Taiwan Steel 1:0, and now should make another good performance against Ming Chang University.
Spain Primera Division, 32 round and match between Getafe and Real Sociedad. After 31 round Getafe is on 6 position on table with a 13 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses games with a goal different 40-29 and have 49 points. On the other side Real Sociedad after 31 round is on 7 position on table with 14 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses games wirh a goal different 47:39 and have 47 points. After corona this two team is not a good form. Getafe have 3 draws and one losses games and Sociedad have one draw and 3 losses games. My opinion over 2.0 goals
Fifth-placed Schalke are set to host sixth-placed Freiburg this Saturday in a clash between two teams who will be hoping to keep themselves in the running for a Champions League place heading into the second half of the season. Schalke are currently just one point outside of the top four.
Some will argue that it’s part of the game, that players effectively have two lives each time they step onto the pitch and are therefore entitled to scissor someone down. But does it make for a better spectacle? And more importantly, does any yellow card offence?" RETRO CORNER On this day in 2010, Manchester United are knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, after Rafael was sent off and Arjen Robben scored a quite brilliant volley to clinch the tie.
An England game 'shrouded in an unreality' Can you let me in please?"There has been a PA announcer on reading out the teams. I don't know why. We've all got team sheets and there's nobody here to read the teams to. He could have had the night off. That was one observation from former England captain Terry Butcher during an unusual evening in Rijeka for the Three Lions' goalless draw in Croatia. Defender Ben Chilwell, who was making his full debut, described the night as "strange" and said there was "a weird environment".
Roda Kerkrade versus Excelsior Rotterdam here, meeting of the Dutch football Eerste Divisie which is played tomorrow night at 8:00 pm. Slightly favored guests for the victory of the match come from a 1-2 home defeat against Volendam while the yellow-blacks are back from a 1-1 exterior draw against Go Ahead Eagles. The Excelsior is the strongest team here, but Today is going through a good period of form according to me, he will be able to take advantage of the field factor to score at least one or two goals, so let's try a 1 DNB mark at 2.00 and Good Luck
Simone Zaza ended an early spell of pressure for Torino by scoring with a diving header from Cristian Ansaldi's cross in the 21st minute and Ansaldi himself added the second goal with a low shot in the 72nd minute. Martin Caceres pulled one back for Fiorentina in stoppage time and Federico Chiesa nearly grabbed an unlikely equaliser but his effort was deflected wide.
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to build on a 4-0 win over Schalke 04 when they take on Wolfsburg on Matchday 27. Borussia Dortmund impressed in the Revierderby, with their rolling over team bitter rivals without any difficulties, but Lucien Favre’s troops will have a much bigger fish to fry against Wolfsburg. The Wolves are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and they head into Saturday's football game following a 2-1 win over Augsburg.
MANCHESTER, England, April 5 (Reuters) - FIFA is getting ready to deal with complaints and appeals over wage cuts for players, producing guidelines for clubs and football bodies looking to cut costs during the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an internal document seen by Reuters showed. The issue of pay cuts for players has exploded as a major controversy in England while in other countries, such as Germany and Spain, players have accepted temporary reductions in earnings.
The Blades, who won promotion to the top flight last season, are sixth in the standings with 36 points after a stellar campaign but Wilder's target is 40 points which virtually guarantees a team stays up. It's a push for three points, 40 has always been a big number for a newly-promoted side," Wilder told reporters ahead of Sunday's home game against Bournemouth.
As yet, there is no confirmation from UEFA on new dates for the Champions League and Europa League finals but reports state that they will be played on June 27 and June 24 respectively. The virus has infected almost 180,000 people and killed more than 7,000 worldwide. The European championship is usually held in one or two host nations, but was spread around the continent this time in what organisers said was a romantic one-off event.

We are in a crisis which peace-time football has never had to face before and there is no way of knowing precisely what we will have to tackle further along the road. All I can promise is that everything we do in the weeks to come will be designed to ensure our club is in as strong a position as it has been possible to secure when football resumes.
Mullins, the former Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Portsmouth midfielder, joined Watford's coaching staff in 2016 and will look to guide them to their second league win this season. British media reported that former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton was a contender for the position along with ex-Swansea City manager Paul Clement.

We did a great first half, it was maturity in the second half. We have to be honest and humble to admit physically we are not ready. But where physically you are not there you have to put your hearts in. You can't change from zero to 10 in one day, one week, one month, but it is beautiful to see how these kids start to understand their commitment, their behaviours of what they need to do for big things in life and big things in football.
The Italians are level on points with Borussia Dortmund, but have a better head-to-head record. It means Inter, who host group leaders Barcelona on 10 December, will qualify if they at least match Dortmund's result at home to Slavia. Lukaku, who now has 198 club goals and 52 for Belgium, also had two goals disallowed in the Czech Republic. Inter's club record signing cut back for Martinez to open the scoring before his team-mate returned the favour, only for the video assistant referee to rule there had been a foul at the other end moments earlier.
The seven players appeared to have got round tight security at the hotel where they were staying on Monday evening, said Rogers Mulindwa, spokesman for the regional soccer association CECAFA that was running the tournament. There was no immediate comment from the Eritrean government. The rest of the team returned home after losing 3-0 to Uganda in the final of the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup.
Chelsea’s problem quite clearly stems from the back. Their open style of play leaves a sub-par defence exposed, and the result has been 17 goals conceded in 12 league matches. This gets even worse when away from home, where they have shipped an average of two goals per game.
Uerdingen and Preussen Munster will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Uerdingen this season have the following results: 10W, 6D and 8L. Meanwhile Preussen Munster have 4W, 9D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The Swede couldn’t take them, though. He did find the net three times at start of the second half, though, although his first was ruled out for offside following a VAR review. There was no debate over Isak’s second and third, though, as Real Sociedad took a 3-0 lead. Marcelo clawed one back for the hosts, squeezing a strike in at the near post, before Mikel Merino restored La Real’s three-goal lead.
They will leave the club if they win that trophy because they'll want to win it somewhere else, you get that hunger to win it. I think the fans will have a different mindset, you know what it's like when they go to the Etihad, they already boo the Champions League anthem so will that play on the players' minds? But for the players they will be desperate to win that trophy. Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman believes the ban may galvanise the club.
They had more edge, more physicality, more intent. They looked fitter and stronger. They over-ran Celtic in midfield. Ryan Christie, James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard have 49 goals between them this season. There was barely a peep out of any of them. Christie, a major influence in most of the games he's played, missed a penalty, Forrest was anonymous and Edouard, so impressive for so long, got lucky with his goal and didn't do a whole lot else.
There are a lot of players who make more mistakes than him. He's dragged Manchester United into Europe on his own in previous seasons. We have to remember that before we write him off or condemn him. De Gea howler helps Watford to victory over Man Utd Manchester United lack quality in certain areas - De Gea De Gea is hardly the one who deserves the blame Outfielders have more of a luxury in making mistakes because they have others to bail them out.

They asked Bartomeu to call presidential elections as soon as possible and criticised the club for hiring a third party, I3 Ventures, earlier this year to monitor social media coverage of Barca. Bartomeu has denied accusations the company created social media accounts to smear future presidential candidates, and former and current players, but he anyway rescinded the club's contract with the firm.
The games are going to come thick and fast for Premier League teams between now and the final kick of the season. One wrong result could have a club spiralling. We foresee these two clubs sussing one another out. Place your bet on a draw.
Nobody else got to the World Cup semi-finals and the latter stages of the Nations League. So we are in that mix of teams, but there are lot of good teams and the difference on one day between any of the top 10 teams is so marginal in football. It's a bit different in rugby union, where there are only really four or five contenders. With us in the European Championships, it's always been more random than a World Cup actually, so you could look at any one of 10 teams and think they could win it.
Hours. That’s how long the goodwill towards Ed Woodward, or what little of it there even was, lasted after he sealed the signing of Bruno Fernandes the day before deadline day. Transfer deadline day LIVE - United in striker dash, Bowen set for PL move, Spurs in Bale link If Chelsea aren’t going to treat Giroud properly, they have to start using him Over before it even started? The timeline on a frantic morning of Bale rumours The Fernandes deal, although long in the making, appears on the surface at least to be the sort of quality signing that United fans have been crying out for.
Why pick a DRAW here:-Hannover are unbeaten in their last nine home matches the guest also are unbeaten in their last seven Away matches. Their most recent head to head matches also support my draw, their recent forms. The host have eight out of sixteen draws at home while the guest have thirteen draws so far in 2nd Bundesliga. Both have scored in the last five encounters. At this stage nine of the team are playing for something. Note most of the teams with same quality normally draws. So I strongly feel that a draw will be the most appropriate pick here
Kane thought he had equalised late in the second half, but he was adjudged to be offside. The England captain then limped off, seemingly with a hamstring injury. We see the bad result today which is the continuity of the last year," Mourinho said. GOAL OF THE SEASON CONTENDER Chelsea have also struggled for consistency over the festive period.
While the improvement of Notts County heading into this fixture is not to be ignored, the strength of the hosts just simply overwhelms every other stat. They have won each of their last six home matches and managed to score two or more in the process. Meanwhile, they boast the strongest defensive record in the division with just 27 goals conceded to date. With this in mind, it is hard to pick anything other than the hosts coming out on top in this fixture.

Responding to arguments that players in Italy and Spain had made greater sacrifices, Lineker said: "They're a few weeks ahead of us in Spain and Italy as everybody knows. Give the players a chance to help the situation. I'm positive they will do what's right. If it transpires that they don't, I'll be their harshest critic.
This match is from the Faroe island league between Ruvanik and Tvororyi. This is the 1st match of the new season and I think we won't be seeing teams playing any form of defense, so I'm going with a lot of goals for this match.
A game in Spain which started last December before being stopped because of offensive chanting was finally completed on Wednesday as the country's football season restarted. The concluding 45 minutes of the second-tier match between Madrid side Rayo Vallecano and Albacete were played out in the capital - 179 days after the game started - without spectators. The original match was goalless when a decision was made to stop it at half-time on 15 December after Vallecano fans chanted that Albacete forward Roman Zozulya was a Nazi.
