The early betting ahead of this match points towards both teams not finding the net on Tuesday evening, though it's tough to go along with that. On their own patch, Spurs should have more than enough quality to hurt Boro, but they're simply not defending well and haven't been for a long time. Middlesbrough deservedly got on the scoresheet when the pair recently met, and the way in which they looked a threat both on the break and at set-pieces bodes well ahead of the replay. Tottenham have scored plenty of home goals this season, but they've kept very few clean sheets, shutting their opponents out in just one of their last ten domestic home matches.

Legia is of course enormous favorites for the win, best team in the league 10-1-3 record at home and there is no doubts that they will score a goal so crucial thing for this bet is arka to score and I think that is very possible to happen cause arka offense on the road is not that bad at all and now when they are in good shape I think they are not going to just defend tonight, I expect from them to be aggressive and to find the way to score a goal, the odd is great and I surely recommend this bet

They had the wind with them in that first half, so we had to deal with the elements and a lot of direct football, and we gave away a lot of cheap free-kicks. The first 10, 15 minutes there were about 10 balls come straight into our box and we spoke about that beforehand. We were behind in the game, came out, had countless chances to equalise, concede a poor goal and were left chasing the game. Had we equalised at 1-0 down I think we would have won the game.

Football around the world has been brought to a standstill by the pandemic, depriving clubs of revenue. Teams outside the big five European leagues, such as four-times Scottish champions Hearts, are seen as the most vulnerable. Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge said there would be no income from matches during the stoppage while a ban on large gatherings would impact non-matchday business streams.
The Sun believes that Lazio, who sit two points clear of Juventus, could want the player to partner Ciro Immobile up top. Paper Round’s view: Depay has a buyback clause with United, and looking at their current options, he could be considered if they land neither Jack Grealish nor Jadon Sancho. However, Depay deserves praise for rebuilding his career at Lyon after it appeared he had wasted a golden chance at United.
With the scores level after extra-time, how do you decide who goes through to the quarter-finals? Penalties? A replay? No. The referee took the two captains, Celtic's McNeill and Mario Coluna of Benfica, into his dressing room for a coin toss. McNeill called heads, it landed on heads. He was then informed that round was merely for the right to toss the actual coin. He stuck to his guns. Heads again.

Krasnodar is in a good position at the moment, Krasnodar is currently one of the most difficult teams to beat in the Russian league. Because at this time, the home team is getting 2nd place in the rankings with 35 points after 19 rounds. Need to know, Krasnodar only inferior to Zenit with 45 points. According to experts, maybe Krasnodar is not too prominent in winning against rivals but to defeat them is also a feat. Because in the past 19 rounds, Krasnodar has lost only 2 matches, drawn 8 and won 9. With 2 losses, Krasnodar and Zenit at the top of the table, they are the two names who lost at least the current tournament. Meanwhile, Rostov, CSKA or Lokomotiv all had 5 losses. Therefore, today will be a day without hope for FC Ufa.
Tranmere are far from a terrible team. However, they shouldn't be able to beat Watford. The entertaining draw between these two teams was something of an anomaly created by complacency from the Premier League outfit. It's a complacency that they haven't shown at any other point during Pearson's reign and we don't expect it to be present on Thursday night. Back Watford to book their progress to the fourth round with a win in normal time.

They've conceded eleven goals in their last six games and have relied on their home form to keep them relatively afloat in recent weeks.
The difference he has made to this Manchester United team is unbelievable. I think Manchester United need another centre forward but that midfield is exciting.

Isloch 2 started the new season with two home defeats, but since then have been really impressive winning for example 4-0 at home with a really decent Slutsk 2 side which I watched last round making life hard to the league leaders from Dinamo Minsk 2 on the road and only losing 2-1 that encounter. Isloch 2 also won 3-0 at home with Slavia Mozyr 2 and also a 4-1 win at home against Vitebsk 2 so quite easy wins and big wins reason why I suggest even taking the -1.5 AH on the hosts in this encounter.
Neman is near the top of the league, with good performances and well record 3-1-1. They are playing well, having to bigger up and down going in the league. This could be potentially tough task for the host, since Energetic is not such a weak side, as results may be showing currently.
Brighton look to ensure their top-flight safety when they host Newcastle in the Premier League at The Amex on Monday night. The Seagulls are 15th at the time of writing, six points clear of the relegation zone with two games to play.

The home side's defence hasn’t been good enough for us to consider predicting them as the winner of this game but with Paris' far from bulletproof away record we can see this one finishing as a draw.

This is my third option for today and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is very real. So, Union this season is solid and their first goal is to survive in league, what I mean, that is pretty real to expect. In last three matches, this team is won three times, 3-2, 1-0 and 3-1, while on the other side, Borussia M'Gladbach is team who is leader in league and team who is favorite here. 3-1, 2-1, 2-1 and 4-1 are their results and their wins in last four matches. Over is ideal option and I will try that.

That might be music to Burnley fans' ears after several clubs have reportedly shown interest in young winger Dwight McNeil.
