With Raon-l'Étape in rather poor form in their own division, we doubt they'll be able to pull a fast one on last year's Ligue 1 runners-up. Lille have been solid recently with their defence largely impressive bar a few high-profile catastrophes. However, with the hosts scoring in each of their last 21 games, we're backing Raon-l'Étape to get on the scoresheet here as the away side should still be hurting from their 5-1 defeat in Monaco. Lille have kept clean sheets in just two of their 13 matches on the road this season so we doubt this one will be a whitewash. Nevertheless, the top tier side should be able to get past the fifth tier minnows here so we're backing them to win 3-1.
Salzburg has plenty of problems in defense since the winter break they have not won any of their last 5 games played 3 in the league losing twice with 3-2 and a 2-2 draw at Austria Vienna as well while in the Europa League they lost the first leg away from home in Germany with 4-1 away at Eintracht Frankfurt while in the return leg they only managed a 2-2 draw at home and if I calculate they conceded 14 goals in their last 5 games played while scoring 9 goals but not enough for a single win.
How do you swing that fee on that basis? But the manager had earned that trust and respect, and that enabled him to go out and spend that money. Klopp had put all his trust in Karius and believed he was going to be a world-class keeper. He made world-class saves but he always had that concentration issue. One day Klopp just knew that wasn't good enough if he wanted to take Liverpool to the next step.
I wanted that achievement for myself - to be on that list of Liverpool players that had won something the club never had before. I understand why Klopp wanted it so badly too, because our manager Rafa Benitez was the same. Oxlade-Chamberlain an injury worry for RedsLiverpool keep passing tests - KloppReaction to the Club World Cup finalYou can play it down as much as you like from the outside, but it was an important competition for the club - and they showed that by the way they approached it.
He would then have taken over when there was a vacancy. Paper Round’s view: Mourinho looked on the cusp of a return to Real Madrid, and Zidane looked under serious pressure. However, Real are in with a chance of a league title given the struggles of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, so the chance to take over at the Bernabeu is now less likely.

Unfortunately for them, Lionel Messi continued his outstanding goalscoring form over the international break, netting in both of Argentina’s games to make it 11 goals in his last nine appearances for club and country. Third-placed Atletico Madrid visit surprise package Granada on Saturday, while Eibar host Alaves in a Basque derby on Sunday.
We needed a blowout'Jansen's side kept their composure to reach the home straight in control of their own destiny. By the penultimate game of the season, they travelled to face Dunfermline knowing a win would be enough for the title. A Simon Donnelly goal gave Celtic the lead. All they had to do was hold on. Enter Craig Faulconbridge, the home substitute looping a late header into the net. It would now all come down to the final 90 minutes at home to St Johnstone.
I think that we will see at least two goals in this match from Belarus Premier league and it is ok for me to try this option. Ok, if we so far results of this two teams, than it is pretty clear that both of them are so far played mostly defensive matches, but in this case, I don't believe that will be the case. Smolevichi is in last round in league played 1-1, while rival is played 2-0 and won in last round. Yes, over is ok for me and I will try that - it is more than real.
Championship of Turkmenistan. The meeting of teams with 6 and 2 lines of the standings. In the face-to-face meetings, of course, the absolute leader is the guests, but it is worth paying attention that this season the away game does not work for the guests who could not defeat the outsider 1-1 and not long ago lost to their neighbor 1-0 while the hosts defeated this an outsider at home 2-0. And what else is in favor of the hosts, that there were no more home defeats in more than one ball. I put modestly 1 (1.75) on the hosts in the match.
The Saints added their second when Redmond nicked the ball over the advancing Kepa Arrizabalaga to finish a slick attack. Spurs were also facing a possible upset, until Kane followed up his own shot to equalise in the 53rd minute and cancel out Adam Webster's first-half header. Alli got the winner in the 72nd minute with a brilliant lofted finish as he met a Serge Aurier ball.

A record-breaking seasonWinning the title was always the main aim for a club which had endured such a long wait to be crowned champions of England again, having earned that honour 11 times between 1973 and 1990. But having achieved that ambition things could get better yet, with City's 100-point total for a season one of numerous records Liverpool can still break. Klopp's side have produced one of the most memorable campaigns in Premier League history, amassing 86 points already, with a record of 28 victories, two draws and a single defeat from their 31 games.
From manager to hotelier - Venables was England boss from 1994 to 1996 but now owns a hotel on the edge of the Font Roja National Park in SpainI went over to Spain to speak to him for the documentary - he and his wife run a little boutique hotel near Alicante so he spends half the year over there. It was great to catch up. He looks back at Euro 96 as the best time of his managerial career - which says a lot when you consider his time at Barcelona and everything he achieved.

The intention of the newspaper article was actually positive," said Rogers, per BBC Sport. But this headline has totally overshadowed the anti-racist message contained within the story. Unfortunately, as we've seen on social media, more people will see that ill-judged headline on the front page than read the actual article and it creates new issues at a time when we are all trying to tackle the issue of racism in Italian football.

So are Arsenal improving under Arteta?Inevitably, results have been mixed and old failings still exist - as seen with the defensive lapses that transformed a performance that deserved at least a draw into a 2-1 defeat at Spurs. There is, however, an energy about Arsenal that comes from their manager and his touchline micro-management, complete with those multi-lingual instructions. There was passion in the closing stages against Liverpool, even with a team clearly selected with a glance at that FA Cup semi-final.
Bus-stop beatings, forcing players to stay out late before games and pinning up unfair criticism in the changing room. Sheffield United's success in their first season back in the English top flight is just the latest chapter in manager Chris Wilder's journey from non-league to Premier League. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's At Home With Colin Murray podcast, former Northampton, Oxford United and Halifax Town boss Wilder offered an insight into the man behind the stern pitchside stare.
News on Harry we don’t have, and if you ask me every time we come here the answer will be the same. We expect him to be out until mid-April, end of April, May, next season, I don’t know. Naturally, panic set in among some, particularly after Tottenham’s Kane-less performance against Liverpool at the weekend – not so much at the idea that they couldn’t cope without their centre-forward, but at the prospect of how Mourinho will tell his team to play without him.

It will make life particularly difficult for every football club. The League One deadlockWhile Exeter take pride in having a bottom line which is now keeping them afloat, they are also a side with ambition. Playing out the season is something they could have afforded, but seeing the campaign curtailed and a potential automatic promotion spot go begging is not something Tagg decries - not with the very future of other clubs at stake.
Spain can complete the Davis Cup and ATP Cup double. They have Roberto Bautista Agut in top form and are strong in the doubles department. It might not even matter who wins the rubber between Nadal and Djokovic but Spain look the stronger squad and can win the cup.
This has been a very tight clash in recent years with three of the last five meetings ending in draws. It has also seen quite a few goals with 19 being scored in these five matches and both sides getting on the scoresheet each time. We're expecting this one to follow this trend of being tight as Bordeaux are fantastic at home but will be tested by Lyon's new lease of life up top. Lyon have just two clean sheets in their last 14 matches so we're backing this Bordeaux side with five wins in their last six home games to net.
1st leg of the Belarusian cup semi final between Slavia Mozyr and BATE Borisov. Slavia has major advantage in this first match since they are playing at home. They are also in pretty good form, winning 2 matches so far and losing only 1. One of those 2 wins came exactly at this stadium vs BATE Borisov, with the result 2:1.
Three of the last 4 matches have not gone over 2 goals and a few of the matches have actually gone under with only both teams scoring in 1 of these 4 matches too. They have not been very attacking matches against each other most recently, actually there was more good defending than anything in their last couple of meetings. The number of shots coming into the box was low. It should be the same plan from management again for this match as a low scoring match has actually worked out better for these teams in the past I felt.
The club officials will be desperate for the Financial Fair Play problems to be resolved. City are adamant that they have done nothing wrong and have submitted an appeal, but the problems keep on coming. A domestic investigation is more hassle for the club, but if they are innocent they have nothing to worry about.
Rachel Furness was the visitors' savour in the West Country, notching her first Liverpool goal after instinctively pouncing on Melissa Lawley's parried shot. The Reds now sit just outside the league's solitary relegation place on goal difference, level on six points with Tanya Oxtoby's team who have mustered just one league win all season themselves.
Home form has seen them earn just a single point from their last five at Villa Park. They have Palace and Arsenal to play at home and trips to Everton and West Ham remaining as they try to somewhow escape the bottom three. Their main target must be to be within reach of West Ham before playing them on the final day of the Premier League season.
Or might a year away make us lust for it more. Premier League behind closed doors for start of next season When the Premier League does restart it could be without fans in attendance. It was agreed on Thursday by officials from all 20 top-flight clubs that the suspension of the season would be extended until April 30 and the 2019/20 campaign will be extended indefinitely.
Basel have a good lead going to this game and there is a feel that this tie is over. While APOEL would like to get something off it, their away form remains a big impediment. They have not conceded heavily away from home but they have been rare scorers away from home. In seven of their last nine matches, APOEL have not scored though in Europa League, they have scored six in the last five matches, but won only one. While Basel up their game when playing in Europe, they have had challenges keeping clean sheets at home; they have none in the last three. We feel APOEL, coming with nothing to lose, will go out to attack and could get a goal. We are backing this to end 3-1 in Basel’s favor.
It says a lot about the great character we have," added Alli. We are one of the best teams in the world in the years we have been together.
