In this game it is very hard to predict the winner because teams are so similar and the only thing which is both in common is that they are playing low scoring games and in head to head matches last 4 times it was under 2.5 so I think that is going to continue today but the Odd one that is too low and that is why I decided to risk withdrawal and also because ferreira is close to the relegation zone and they Will surely be pleased to take a point versus a team in good form right now
We were annoyed but we quickly let it go. We changed focus quickly towards tomorrow's match," said Ten Hag. A win would ensure top place in the group for Ajax, who have 10 points from five games, but a draw could see them usurped by Chelsea and finish second. Defeat to Valencia could even see last year's semi-finalists exit the competition, should Chelsea beat Lille in the other group match.
They eventually settled though and missed a great chance of their own in the 20th minute when Alexandre Lacazette drilled a low shot wide with the goal gaping. A cagey second half in wet conditions burst into life in the last ten minutes. Lacazette tapped home the winning goal after some excellent work by Bukayo Saka on the left.
Both sides have injury problems but that shouldn't stop Seattle getting through to the Divisional play-off against the 49ers. They had a strong regular season, winning four more games than their opponents in this wild card match. They also have an excellent away record and have already won once in Philadelphia this season. Go for the Seahawks to win.
Palace) is always a tough opponent, we've drawn twice now," Hasenhuettl said. They are the team with lesser possession at home so we know they defend well. They are) a very experienced team with a very experienced manager. Hasenhuettl said the Saints were still looking for players to sign in the January transfer window but would only look at options if they were available on permanent deals rather than short-term loans.
Marco van BastenGetty Images The channel added that Van Basten's wages for the week would be donated to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation. Van Basten's comment came on the same weekend players across the top two leagues of Dutch football stood still for the first minute of games to protest against racism.
Yes, they may have only lost once, but they had only collected three points more than West Ham United, who were bottom of the pile over that period. A tally of eight goals scored also illustrated the side's issues in recent months. Under Arteta, Arsenal were averaging just 2. Sunday, compared with 4. Emery. It is little wonder they had drawn so many times. Newcastle were always going to come to Emirates Stadium and sit back, but what were Arsenal doing in the first half to disrupt their opponents?Right-back Hector Bellerin seemed to be wary of crossing the halfway line and getting at the Newcastle defence.
If you can’t be good, be lucky. Unfortunately for England, for large swathes of their Nations League semi-final against Netherlands, they were neither. The Dutch were not dramatically better but deserving of their win. Mostly because, as a side, their back four were not handing out gilt-edged chances hand over foot for the entirety of the 120 minutes, and because they had Frenkie de Jong.

Sassuolo, eighth in the table, have no chance of reaching seventh place as that's 11 points away. A top-ten finish is still a moderately good season for the club though and it would be their first since 2016. They will be desperate to hang on to what they have and know that a slip-up could lead to one, if not all, of the three clubs that are two points behind them leapfrogging.
Forrest's injury-time strike - set up by Edouard - put a gloss on the scoreline that was harsh on Accies and flattering to Celtic. But this was another massive win for the champions. Great credit to Accies but they stay bottom as Celtic move further clear. Man of the match - Odsonne EdouardOgkmpoe's first-half display deserves a further mention, as does Alex Gogic's defensive performance almost throughout.
In addition, June’s scheduled internationals have been put on hold, including the Nations League play-offs for Euro 2020. It's been a tricky first few years for Uefa’s latest competition. Just when everybody starts to get a handle on the format, a global pandemic rolls around to muck everything up. But on the other hand, the Euros aren’t happening until 2021, so there’s still time.
It's been a long wait but Alexander Zverev is on the verge of his first Grand Slam semi-final. He's been in top form in this tournament making it to the last eight without dropping a set. He takes on Stan Wawrinka who knows how to win a Grand Slam but has struggled to get to this stage. He has lost five sets aleady and this is going to be tough against an opponent that he has never beaten. Go for Zverev to get the win here.
Bordeaux have been a team in form as of late but so were Monaco, so to see them lose this crucial clash that could have seen them climb eight places up to 6th was extremely disappointing. They continue to wallow in 14th with the second most goals conceded in Ligue 1 so a match against PSG would’ve probably been pretty far down their wish list for this week.
Nevertheless a clean sheet against Palace will do Maguire, and United's goal difference, the world of good. It looks like their fight for a Champions League spot will go to the last game of the season and Maguire will need to be at his best. Did you know? Maguire racked up 75 passes against Crystal Palace, a haul only Paul Pogba could better (88) in the game, with the England defender completing 89% of them.
Relive Real Betis' victory over Real MadridThe Betis substitute broke clear and coolly slide the ball past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois as the hosts picked up only their eighth victory of the season to move up to 12th, eight points clear of the relegation zone. Rubi's team looked far from a side struggling at the wrong end of the table, causing Real Madrid all sorts of problems as Marc Bartra somehow headed over from six yards out with the whole goal to aim at.
SPAL have left it late to save themselves in recent seasons, but they have a whole new task in 2020. The hosts come into the year in the bottom three, with a massive change needed to haul them to safety. The club are really struggling for results so far this season, while a blow in this meeting with Verona could set them back even further.
Today is going to be a very exciting football match in polish league Ekstraklasa: Lechia Gdansk vs Legia Warszawa. Both teams have played recently with results to follow, so the outcome of this game can be unpredictable. However, I find it interesting to place a bet: Lechia or draw.
That will depend on medical protocols being finalised and accepted. Footballers have so far been limited to individual training. A vote on whether to use neutral venues is not planned during Monday's Premier League meeting - a sign that an estimated six or seven clubs remain opposed to the idea. The league has been suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic but is aiming to resume in June, with most clubs facing nine games to play.
Hannover and Dynamo Dresden will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Hannover this season have the following results: 9W, 9D and 10L. Meanwhile Dynamo Dresden have 6W, 6D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Before any player who has tested positive will be allowed to return to training, he will need to have a rigorous examination to ensure he is capable of high-intensity exercise. This includes checking heart and lung function and having blood tests.

Will they be able to convince him to stay for another season before another club lures him away with a better offer?Jonny Hayes: Once upon a time, the Irishman was one of the sharpest attacking talents in country as a winger for Aberdeen. These days, at 32, he has convincingly transformed himself at Celtic into a player who can play anywhere on the left flank. He has made 19 appearances for the Premiership leaders this term, mostly at left-back.
AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has had his contract extended for a further two years until June 2022. The 54-year-old Italian took the role in October and his initial deal expired at the end of this season. But the former Lazio and Inter Milan manager has taken AC Milan to fifth in the Serie A table, on course to qualify for next season's Europa League. I am happy and proud of the trust I have received from AC Milan,” said Pioli.
Vendsyssel will host Viborg for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Viborg is the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 33 points. Visitors have 4 victories in their last 5 matches. In last game Viborg is won 2-1 against weak Naestved. Also, we have Vendsyssel who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 22 points. In last game Vendsyssel lost 3-0 against F. Amager. So, the hosts lost on the previous game and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I expect, they will pay attention on their defense. Also, Vendsyssel will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.
For me, this is one of the matches where I see a lot of goals, in Italian Serie A today, even this is a league, where teams are mostly playing with stronger defense and that is the fact. So, Torino is one of the teams who is very dangerous this season for all us who are betting. When they are not favorites, they are make great results, against stronger rivals, like it was the case against Roma, few days ago (2-0), but when they are favorites, they are making mistakes. Bologna is better and better in every round, so they will score here surely.
ROME, March 20 (Reuters) - Italian soccer clubs, players and fans have banded together to raise millions of euros to support the country’s stretched health system amid the devastating coronavirus outbreak. Thursday was one of the bleakest days in Italy’s battle against COVID-19 as the death toll rose to 3,405, overtaking China as the highest number of fatalities from the disease in one country.
Kafr Qasim is going to face Maccabi Petah Tikva. The hosts are in the 6th place in the league standings and they will stay in top 8 for sure. Today they will face the best team in the second league of Israel. Tikva won 17 of 28 matches and now they need points to win this league and get promoted to the first league. Tikva won 6 matches of 14 on the trips but today I bet them to win this clash. They are a much better team and they played well in the last matches. I think that it will be 0:1 for Tikva
BBC Cymru Wales to show Euro 2016 gamesWales' only other appearance came in the 1958 World Cup, but these were different times. Although that Welsh side contained greats such as John Charles and Ivor Allchurch, a World Cup then did not grip the national consciousness like a championship can today. Such was the ambivalence back home, when players returned to Wales from Sweden they were asked if they had been on holiday.
Triglia FC will host Kavala for this fixture of the league. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. I expect, this will be a very tense match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Kavala is very average team in this season. The visitors have a more offensive team. They have a solid defense. I think, they have the potential to make a positive result. Also, we have Triglia who's is not very good team in this league. Triglia is one of the teams of relegation zone. Also, the hosts have a poor results and for me they could lose.

Vitebsk are in a good league position considering four of their six games have been played away. Home form has seen them win both their games without conceding a goal.

Follow live text and reaction to all Wednesday's Premier League matchesMourinho's return well-receivedAs expected, Mourinho was well received by the United fans, who never fell out with their former manager and have no particular axe to grind with him. That respect will never match the affection Old Trafford has for Solskjaer though. And the Norwegian used memories from his playing days to get the crowd up for the game by emerging last from the tunnel, triggering a song in his honour and the start of what proved to be a lively atmosphere.
They are paid much less, often around average national income. Minimum wage players exist around the world and, for them, any cuts can have drastic personal consequences in terms of simply paying rent or buying groceries for their families. He added that even within leagues the situation could vary greatly between clubs.
The late set-back is likely to have further dented Valladolid's confidence, following an abysmal prior run of five top flight matches without a goal. Pucela's toils up front make them instantly opposable for the win here, although it's important to remember that they have lost just one of their eight La Liga games at Jose Zorrilla this term.
Lviv's results here at Arena Lviv in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats. The lack of attacking qualities in Lviv means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Serie A side raced into a two-goal lead by halftime with goals from Hans Hateboer and Josip Ilicic, while Valencia were denied by the post. Remo Freuler's curling strike and a second goal for Hateboer looked to have ended the tie as a contest, but substitute Denis Cheryshev gave the Spanish visitors a faint glimmer of hope with an away goal.

Galatasaray lead the head to head record between the two clubs by four wins and both teams scored in four of the last six meetings between the pair. The hosts have only lost once at home against Istanbul Basaksehir before and the two sides sit level on 19pts from their opening eleven games of the new season, so you can see why we have backed a 1-1 draw between the two clubs on Friday.
Tondela have drawn more games at home than they have won so far this season, with Saturday’s hosts picking up a single victory and playing out two stalemates in their seven home games, while Moreirense are yet to win on the road but have drawn three times away from home. The hosts average 0.71 points per home game while the visitors average just 0.38 points per away game, which is just one of the reasons we have backed a draw between the pair this weekend.
