Both teams scored in two of Wolfsburg’s last three and five of Schalke’s last six league games and the hosts have dropped points in five of their eight home games this season while the visitors have won four and drawn one of their seven away games this season, adding weight to our prediction for Wednesday nights’ clash.
His idea was probably that Neymar could come back to Barcelona and take over as leader when he says his goodbyes perhaps two, three or four years down the line. Messi would love to have him back at the club and I'm sure a real effort will be made this summer to make it happen, not just because Messi would like him there but also because it is what is needed. Neymar and Messi get on very well together on and off the pitch and they are still in touch with each other on a regular basis, including keeping a WhatsApp group with Suarez.
Hammers sign Issa Diop, Lucasz Fabianski, Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson amongst others. Since the end of last season, West Ham smashed their club record by signing striker Sebastian Haller in a deal that could cost them £45m. The former Eintracht Frankfurt forward has scored six times in 22 Premier League games. The board made a decision at the beginning of 2018 to embark on an investment programme that would involve bringing in a world class manager, investing in better players and making significant investment in the club's infrastructure," said Sullivan.
Benfica haven’t failed to score away from home so far this season and Sporting have scored in all of their home games, so you can see why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1 this Friday. Exactly 3 goals have been scored in 43% of Sporting’s home games and in 29% of Benfica’s away games, suggesting that there is a good chance we will see 3 goals scored in Friday’s match. A majority of Sporting’s defeats this season (4) have had a 1-goal margin while a majority of Benfica’s wins (9) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more but 6 of their wins had a 1-goal margin, which is why we have backed a narrow 2-1 win for the visitors this Friday.
It was anticipated the play-offs would be staged in September, which would see thrust Kenny straight into a high-pressure qualifier in his first game in charge. However, Kerr has another theory. The finals have been put back to 2021, so it is quite possible those play-offs may not be played until March next year," he said. If that is the case, there is no rush so from the FAI point of view, it made sense for Stephen to start now.
But he refuted suggestions that City's lack of activity during the summer transfer window was to blame for the club's slip down the table. City signed four players during the period but have been plagued by injuries with Aymeric Laporte, Leroy Sane, David Silva and John Stones all currently sidelined. No. I think the team is fantastic. I love my team," said Guardiola. We have had problems with injuries.
Sheffield United have lost each of their last four league meetings with Newcastle, their longest ever such losing run against them. Only Southampton (five) have lost more Premier League games on home soil this season than Sheffield United at Bramall Lane (four). Saint-Maximin's goal (14:58) was the earliest Sheffield United have conceded in a league game at Bramall Lane since March 2017, when Ricky Holmes scored in the third minute for Charlton.
By the age of 18 - after a short stint working in a powder paint company - Smith was embarking on a 16-year playing career as a centre-back which would take him from Walsall, where he was captain at 19, to Port Vale via Hereford United, Leyton Orient and Sheffield Wednesday. During his playing days, he frequently nipped back to watch Villa when time allowed. Before he became a manager, you'd see him down the match occasionally," said Dave Woodhall, editor of the Aston Villa fanzine Heroes & Villains, who would give a lift home to Smith from reserve games when he was growing up.
Both teams have scored in 38% of Guimaraes’ home games and 29% of Santa Clara’s away games, which points towards just one side scoring, if any at all, on Saturday. The hosts have netted 15 goals in their own backyard this season while Santa Clara have only scored 5 goals on the road, which is one of the main reasons we have backed Guimaraes to claim all three points on Saturday. Vitoria Guimaraes have kept clean sheets in 38% of their home games and have gone on to win all of those games.
Imagine the humiliation of being beaten at noughts and crosses in front of the entire world. Colour it inNot content with getting involved in a game of noughts and crosses that should have had nothing to do with them, Manchester City also invited fans to get in touch with their artistic side. View more on twitterOn the subject of City, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan yesterday took to Twitter to give his message to fans.
Amid that success there was disappointment for Peters, who was not included in the West Ham side that won the FA Cup final against Preston North End in 1964, victory being secured by Ronnie Boyce's last-minute winner. There was to be consolation, of sorts, for Peters a year later when he was a key component of the team that won the European Cup Winners' Cup against 1860 Munich at Wembley, courtesy of two goals from Alan Sealey.

Ten-man Leipzig fail to hold onIn a game played in an empty stadium because of the coronavirus restrictions, Leipzig suffered a blow in the build-up as Slovenia midfielder Kevin Kampl picked up an injury, although the hosts did have the first chance with Konrad Laimer's low strike saved by Hertha goalkeeper Rune Jarstein. The visitors took the lead in the ninth minute when Grujic flicked into the net from just outside the six-yard box from a corner from Plattenhardt, who had to be substituted three minutes later following a clash of heads before the goal.

Aston Villa have lost 12 of their last 13 Premier League matches at Old Trafford. Manchester United have won half of their Premier League home games this season. averaging 1.83 goals per game. Aston Villa have lost five of their six away matches in the Premier League. Manchester United suffered another humbling defeat in midweek as their team of fresh-faced youngsters found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 score line at Astana. Aston Villa are another side showing a remarkable inconsistency. They beat Newcastle last time out, but the newly promoted club have lost over half their league outings so far and find themselves just four points above the drop zone.
While his introverted nature has kept him from the headlines, his status as a Swedish football icon has not wavered. Fagerlund added: "Fredrik will always be considered as one of the greatest. He did a lot for the national Team and today Arsenal is one of the most popular clubs in Sweden. He describes himself as shy but he is a strong character nowadays. That he's not driven by fame or recognition may be an advantage in his leadership.
Roda and Excelsior will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Roda this season have the following results: 4W, 7D and 5L. Meanwhile Excelsior have 7W, 4D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
As well as training in groups of no more than five, sessions must last no longer than 75 minutes for each player. Social distancing must be adhered to. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table, with nine games to play, and need just two more wins to secure their first Premier League title. The league had previously identified 12 June for matches to possibly start again, but there is now an expectation this will need to be pushed back.
Manchester United head to this game as favorites, even though Brugge are the form team. United have led at half time in three of their last four matches and each of the last two away matches in the Europa League. They head here on a good away run in recent matches and we are backing them to win at the end. United leading at half time and full time comes with good odds and we will go for that.
Here we have two eternal contenders for a promotion, last year they finished 3rd and 4th, they're playing at K2 at least since 2013 and have been improving since then. Maybe we will see one of them promoted this season. This both to score at 1,80 has value and therefore here it goes. Last two matches at Bucheon 1995's stadium finished 0 x 0 and the last one 2 x 2. Anyang is slightly stronger I think and they will be waiting to redeem their last result at home against a weaker side. Bucheon will be wanting to show their fans some goals too!

Grasshopper against Aarau in match Switzerland Challenge League. My prediction this match could be won for Grasshopper with margin score is 1 goal. Grasshopper have good result on last 3 match in league due to Grasshopper have won in 1 match and 2 match is draw. Meanwhile, Aarau have also good result on last 3 match in league due to Aarau have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Grasshopper can defeat Aarau due to Grasshopper always have good result in every home match. Moreover Grasshopper only have draw in 2 match and 3 match is won on last 5 match in the home.
Atalanta, usually found in the lower half of Serie A, have finished fourth, seventh and third in their first three seasons under Gasperini and their success has continued this season. They are Serie A's leading scorers with 48 goals from 18 games - three times more than AC Milan - which is the highest total achieved by any team at this stage of the season since Fiorentina in 1958/59.
For he hasn’t actually been banned for betting on a game he played in. Or a game at all. Or actually betting at all. Sturridge has actually been banned because it was deemed he shared information with his brother and friends about potential transfer away from Liverpool, to Sevilla and West Brom in 2018, information that was apparently then used for betting.

Torino have won the Coppa Italia five times before, the last of which arrived during the 1992/93 season, while Genoa have only won this competition once way back in 1937. Going by the season so far, Torino are the favourites to progress through to the next round as they have the home advantage and sit 9th in the Serie A table, while their guests are currently occupying one of the relegation places and have 10 fewer points on the board than their hosts.
Dani Olmo scored twice in two first-half minutes as RB Leipzig moved one point behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund with victory at Hoffenheim. Spanish midfielder Olmo skipped past two defenders for his first before doubling the lead from eight yards. Leipzig's line-up included Germany forward Timo Werner, who is set to join Chelsea after the clubs agreed a deal. Hoffenheim were awarded a penalty at 0-0 but it was overturned after a video assistant referee (VAR) review.
While Reims have managed two straight wins over PSG, they are sure to find it tough here. They have had a bad run, winless in the last five matches and they wouldn’t have loved to face PSG at this points in time. PSG have one loss in their last 24 matches in this competition. They have scored two or more in their last eight away matches in the competition and have six straight away wins across all competitions. Perhaps Reims’ hope will be drawn from the fact that they are regular scorers in this fixture, we don’t see them winning though. We will go for a 2-1 win in favor of PSG here.
Lazio lost at Lecce so that seven point lead was preserved. That was only the fourth league loss for Juventus this season and all on their travels. Home form has seen them win 14 and draw one of their 15 league fixtures with the last eight all being won. Only Sassuolo have come away from Juventus with a league point this season.
Saka was as classy as ever going forward – there is no smoother attacking left-back available to Gareth Southgate - but struggled a little with Portsmouth’s direct approach at the other end. Nelson isn’t quite as elegant, but his dynamic, decisive running down the right made him a regular threat to Portsmouth.
He had his doubters even towards the end of last season but it is unlikely he will be underestimated again. Fabinho, arguably Liverpool's best player before he sustained a knee injury against against Napoli in the Champions League in November, has not been able to regain his best form since his return to action. The idea of Ross Barkley running from inside his own half to seal the deal is a lot harder to contemplate when Henderson and Fabinho are in top form.

Talk about a hospital pass!'Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live:I have so much sympathy for Hayden Mullins. Talk about being handed a hospital pass. Of course he wants the job, but facing Manchester City after they have just lost a semi-final - it is a nightmare situation. He has it all to do and I think it is actually unfair on him to take over in this situation. Was he going to get a real response out of the players? I think they will be shell-shocked with what has gone on at the club, not just this week but the whole season.

Meanwhile, Samp head into this clash with four defeats in five, having lost 75% of their away Serie A games so far this term. That’s set Milan up as the heavy favourites, while the Rossoneri have already beaten the bottom three so far.

A remarkable own goal by Eagles goalkeeper Vicente Guaita gifted the Blades all three points. Meanwhile Newcastle and Norwich played out a goalless draw which leaves the Canaries seven points from safety at the bottom of the table.
It ultimately ended in another disappointing defeat but I still saw plenty of promise in Mikel Arteta's first home game as Arsenal manager. There were good performances from a lot of the Gunners players against Chelsea on Sunday, and I think that came out of a better understanding of how they had to set up as a team when they were out of possession. The Emirates crowd enjoyed seeing them knocking the ball around nicely early on, which they could do at that stage because Chelsea's starting formation meant the Blues were outnumbered in midfield.
