In Portugal, Portimonense and Maritimo are meeting today in a Primera Liga match which will be held at Estadio Municipal de Portimao stadium, Portimao city. In the table, Maritimo takes position 15 with 28 points after playing 27 matches while Portimonense takes position 17 with 21 points after playing 27 matches.
Port Vale will host Crawley Town for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home ground. Port Vale is really better team at home. Also, Port Vale are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. On the other hand Crawley is very average team in this season. Crawley have advantage at home field. However, Crawley is not very good team away from home. In any case, the visitors have a very difficult task on the road. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
I know they all prefer the PlayStation though and I just don't go there because I get beat. I stick where it is simple and easy on the Switch. West Ham sent Rollins (top) a shirt with his name on it when they found out he was a Hammers fan - but he is a City supporter nowRollins, who is back in the UK in December when he appears in 'Gorilla Position Live' at the O2 in London, never played much football himself but thinks there are a couple of current pros who have the attributes to make good wrestlers.
I can tell you that last season when Jeonbuk won the title with ease and Seoul was also in the fight for the title till late on when they had a poor run in the ending of last season but still got themselves a Champions League spot for this new season, Jeonbuk won here first with 4-2 a game in which the score at half-time was already 2-2 but Jeonbuk overall has better players and a more attacking orientated style of play which secured them all 3 points.

The winter break couldn’t have come at a better time for Boavista, who headed into the festive period reeling from their fourth defeat in five league games. Prior to that they were actually enjoying a very promising season, having remained unbeaten for their first nine outings.
An interesting match between two strong German teams, Monchengladbach Borussia will play at home with Bayer. Leverkusenians showed their strength in their previous match against Bremen, leaving no stone unturned from the defense of Bremen. Borussia is well aware of Bayer's attacking potential, so you have to step on the throat of your own song and pay much more attention to defensive actions. I think that the teams will not take too much risk, focusing on the attack, which will lead to the appearance of free zones. Commanders-in-chief of Borussia and Bayer are competent tactics. I think that even one point gained in such a battle of two giants will be good and fair prey.

Everton lack steel and styleEverton retained some hope of a Europa League place when the Premier League restarted but more than that you sense the final nine games were a chance for Ancelotti to assess which members of his squad have a future at the club. On this evidence, the Italian has his work cut out. They possess two superb centre forwards, but without much of a creative midfield behind them the Blues are unable to maximise their most potent weapons.
Players will not move in the first minute of every match in the country's Eredivisie and second-tier First Division, while the message "Racism?

The only club where he was not sent off was Liverpool. He has also been sent off once for Italy, in a World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic. BRESCIA COACH SAYS SENDING-OFF WAS HARSH Brescia coach Eugenio Corini sympathised with the player, saying he should not have been booked in the first place.
But the move did not materialise and, since then, the 26-year-old has been one of the main beneficiaries of so-called Sarriball which involves moving the ball around the pitch at high speed -- as opposed to predecessor Massimiliano Allegri who put the emphasis on "interpreting the match. Dybala scored the only goal in Juve's 1-0 win on Tuesday from a free kick in the unlikeliest of positions near the goal-line, curling the ball over the Atletico wall and in off the crossbar for his seventh goal of the season in all competitions.
Does he need someone next to him who has been a manager themselves to sit with him and help him? I would say that maybe he does. It doesn’t have to be big names that come through the door in January to fix it. Apart from anything else, how many big-name players want to come to Manchester United at the present moment? I don't believe that's the answer.

Vincent Kompany: Manchester City 1-0 Leicester (Premier League)6 May 2019 With 20 minutes remaining, the score goalless and nerves jangling at Etihad Stadium, Manchester City's inspiration came from their long-serving captain Vincent Kompany, who strode forward and let fly from 25 yards to hand the defending champions the advantage going into the final weekend of the title race with Liverpool. Shearer: "This was about the timing of it and how they needed that piece of magic from their captain.

Forest have managed to score in 83% of their away trips this term, so we expect goals when these two clash at the KCOM. With 67% of their away games seeing both teams scoring, we’re backing a 2-1 Hull victory here. The visitors should grab a goal, but Forest’s problems are likely to condemn them to another defeat.
Odds are quite high for the both teams scoring yes option in this one as Hajduk is priced somewhere around 1.20 for the win and they are favorites and should win this one as they are in a close fight with Rijeka for 2nd place in the league table which starting with next place is a Champions League ticket, they won 2-1 at home with Zapresic but conceded the first goal and scored early away at modest Istra and kept the 1-0 score till the end.
The win, less than 48 hours after a 4-0 home drubbing by the Merseysiders, lifted Leicester four points above third-placed Manchester City and revealed the depth in their squad. It was such a quick turnaround it was a game I felt we had to be fresh," Rodgers, without league-leading scorer Jamie Vardy who was excused duty after becoming a father again on Saturday, said.
There is no doubt that there is an excellent player in there and he could look to other Premier League imports who took a season to find their feet, but should Barca come calling, it would be hard to turn down the lure of Camp Nou, the guarantee of Champions League football and the chance to challenge for the league title, none of which Tottenham can offer.

He was one of four Arsenal players to run in excess of 11km in that match, including all three of the starting midfield'You need good players to execute the plan'It's strange to see a big club like Arsenal down in 10th. They are one point ahead of Southampton, who were a club we were talking about potentially getting relegated a few months ago. But you can see Arteta has been a positive change. Arsenal are more cohesive and there has been such a big shift.
Reaction & as it happenedCeltic ruthlessly charging to titleIn the end, this was an annihilation and the scoreline could have been much higher. Celtic are ruthlessly charging to the league title and their supporters know it. They were delirious as full-time approached. It isn't over but increasingly looks odds-on. The breakthrough in this one took a little time. Stendel's approach could be either interpreted as brave or reckless, but seemed to give Celtic the chance to cut the visitors open, with James Forrest handed numerous chances to punish them.
The visitors endured a pretty slow start to the campaign and that was largely down to their inability to find the back of the net on a regular basis, however they have managed to score 10 in their last six games and they finally appear to have got the relegation monkey off their back. That said, however, there is still concerns about their ability to keep the opposition at bay at the other end.
He left Newcastle at the end of the season and joined Dalian Yifang in China, but recently told BBC Sport he would like to return to the Premier League one day, with his family still living in England. Carlo AncelottiCurrent job: Napoli managerPrevious teams managed: Reggiana, Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern MunichMajor trophies won: 3 Champions Leagues, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, FA Cup, Italian Cup, Spanish Cup, 3 Uefa Super Cups, 2 German Super Cups, Community Shield, Italian Super CupThe 60-year-old Italian is one of only three men to win three European Cups as a manager.
United were 3-0 up going into injury time and only a fine stop from Sergio Romero kept out a free-kick that had it reached its intended destination would have achieved that ultra-rare feat in football: getting both sets of fans applauding in concert. A special night for the cup, for United and for Rooney? Informed by Jake Humphrey of the overwhelming emotional nature of the occasion, Rooney promptly pooped everyone’s party by replying: “Erm, not really.
Clive Tyldesley says "proper training" is needed for pundits after a study found "evident bias" in some broadcasts relating to the skin tone of players. Tyldesley, main football commentator for ITV, said on YouTube he had written to the Professional Footballers' Association about the matter. He also questioned whether ex-players may have contributed to the findings. Co-commentators, ex-players, their members, may well have contributed to the stereotyping," he said.
However, the new timing will avoid a clash with FIFA's revamped 24-team Club World Cup (CWC) to be played in China in June and July 2021. Klopp said the Club World Cup, while lucrative to those involved, was another strain on players. The 2021 CWC) obviously they are offering clubs a lot of money," he said.
If he goes on loan it's a situation he wants and we wish him all the best," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said. It's a tough window to work but it's about rebalancing the squad. The deal will enable Leicester's Croatian centre-back Filip Benkovic to take up a loan move, possibly to Bristol City. Bennett has made 74 appearances for Wolves in all competitions since joining the side in 2017. He previously played for Norwich City and Peterborough.
Jose Mourinho has lost three games in a row for only the fourth time during his managerial career, doing so once with Porto, Chelsea and Manchester United. Wolves have won 35 points from losing positions in the Premier League since the start of last season, at least six more than any other side during this period. Wolves have both scored and conceded in 20 different Premier League games this season (W6 D9 L5), a competition high.
Chinandega will against Managua in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win for Managua with margin score is 1 goal. Managua have better result on last 5 match in league due to Managua have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Chinandega have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Chinandega only have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 3 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Managua can beat Chinandega on this match due to Managua more strong rather than Chinandega.
Real Esteli is one of the favorites in the league, but their current playing form is not at the top, and they are under expected level of the performances for one of the title challenger. They will host bottom placed Deportivo, which made draw with another favorite in the competition in the previous round. They manage to keep under goal match and put down their rival on under 2.5 result in the game there.

They sing from the heart. Sheikh Mansour, My Lord, Sheikh Mansour". This was followed by the familiar: "Guardiola, we've got Guardiola. After that it got a bit stronger. We'll see you in court," started one song and after Rodri had put the hosts in front "Uefa" was mentioned in another two-word effort. In both instances, the missing words included an expletive that left no doubt about the negative view held by a substantial number of City fans regarding European football's governing body.
Even this look like too big handicap in this match from this duel from Germany Bundesliga, but I will still bet on this option and that is pretty real and ok for me to try. So, Bayern is probably not even close to their maximum level, but they are still play very good in first match after break because of Corona Virus and beat very easy Union Berlin 2-0, as a guests. Eintracht Frankfurt is have huge problems with defense and this team will easy lost this match, that is pretty clear. I will bet on asian handicap on home team.
I think that this game is decisive in the fight for the championship. Especially for Arminius. The team has a much easier calendar, games will be with middle men and only in the last round will the game with Heidenheim. Hamburg is getting harder, two games in a row with the Top 3 teams. And in the last round, we were sadly lost points in the 94th minute, missed the second goal and a draw. Guests will be satisfied with a draw in this match, because Hamburg and Stuttgart have the next game. It will be hard to ward Heking. Plus, the guests in the defense look good, I think they can restrain the hosts' attack. I believe that the guests will try to give all their strength, at least for 1 point, in order to facilitate the champion's way.
We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2 in favour of Zwolle. Fortuna Sittard have been very poor on the road and are yet to win away from home and have been conceding an average of over three goals per game on the road. Zwolle haven’t been at their best at home but have managed to win two of their six games in front of their own fans and have a good record against Saturday’s guests.
With stadiums closed and uncertainty over TV revenues, clubs in other countries have issued financial warnings as the virus continues to spread, and Norway is believed to be the first country to announce such sweeping temporary layoffs. While clubs in countries like England and Spain can pay top players and managers huge salaries backed by lucrative TV deals and sponsorship agreements, teams in smaller European countries often live on the edge, trying to pay competitive wages while balancing the books.
Arsenal overcame David Luiz's dismissal against his old club to twice come from behind against Chelsea in an eventful London derby. The Gunners looked beaten when Jorginho fired Chelsea ahead from the penalty spot after Luiz was shown a straight red card for bundling over Tammy Abraham. The Chelsea forward had pounced on a terrible backpass by Shkodran Mustafi and rounded keeper Bernd Leno when he was shoved over by Brazil defender Luiz.
It's a tough group with two favourites for the title and one candidate. We are going to believe in our chances. Southgate dismissed suggestions that England could have an easier draw by finishing second in their group. If you can win and be top seeds then you have to take control of your destiny," he said.
Juventus has a completely different outlook to the teams in the 17th, 18th or 19th places," he said. Last Saturday, Italian champions Juve said their players had accepted wage cuts from March to June, an agreement which Baer-Hoffmann welcomed. However, he added that while the majority of clubs behaved reasonably, there had also been knee-jerk reactions from a few.
Jorginho scored the resultant penalty, and from that point Arsenal were chasing things. But they actually did pretty well. The glorious phenomenon that is Gabriel Martinelli equalised after the break, bamboozling N’Golo Kante into falling to the ground like he was trying out motorised rollerskates for the first time and didn’t really have the hang of it.
Newcastle United were the first Premier League club to place their non-playing staff on temporary leave and Norwich have also put staff on the job retention scheme. Chelsea have also outlined that they will credit season ticket holders for any games played behind closed doors for the remainder of the season and reimburse those who had booked non-refundable travel to the postponed Champions League tie at Bayern Munich last month.
In Laporte's absence, Fernandinho has been the mainstay of City's defence but I don't think it is an issue that they have hardly played together at the back as they go into the final part of the season. City's system and style is the same whoever is in the team, so all of their players always understand how they play anyway, however Guardiola rotates things. I actually think their chemistry at the back will be better with Fernandinho and Laporte in the same side but, in any case, the manager will have bigger calls to make with his squad in the next few months.
Through a combination of their away day struggles and their moral-sapping 0-1 at home to West Ham last week, the Saints self-belief is likely to be at a low ebb for their trip to Villa Park this weekend, and we're backing the hosts to take advantage.
