The visitors are also in the promotion running, but they’ve had trouble with consistency. Having blown a four-game winning run, the Cottagers could be vulnerable as they look to finally see off one of their fellow promotion candidates.
We knew what we were good at and what our weaknesses were. We got so used to being a tight group and knowing how to win that it didn't matter which type of manager came in. We had a great group and it needed tweaking at times but not a full circle of changing everything. As an aspiring coach now, I take the bits from the managers that I liked. Michael Keane has admitted he broke down in tears in front of his family after hitting "rock bottom" during his struggle with injuries and poor form.
He left Arsenal in 2007 and never really reached those heights again as a player, representing West Ham United, Seattle Sounders and Chicago Fire, Scottish giants Celtic as well as clubs in Japan and India. Appointed as an ambassador for Arsenal in 2013, the 42-year-old returned as a coach in 2016, taking over their Under-15 side.
The hosts’ home games produce an average of 2.00 total goals while the visitors away games produce an average of 2.85 total goals, adding further weight to our prediction of a 1-1 draw on Saturday. 54% of Walsall’s home matches have seen both teams score while the same can be said for an amazing 92% of Crawley’s away games this season.
Maccabi Nazareth is only six points from the relegation zone, so I hope they will do their best today in this match and I think they have the potential to register a positive result. So I think it's a good choice to take draw.
Edin Dzeko heads David Silva's corner past Paddy Kenny. Three minutes to win the title. Sergio Aguero takes Mario Balotelli's pass, one touch with his right foot to make space, a second to drill a finish past Kenny and City were champions for the first time in 44 years. Manchester United's players and manager Sir Alex Ferguson, waiting on the pitch at The Stadium Of Light, were plunged into despair as ecstasy enveloped Etihad Stadium.
Excelsior vs Volendam, if you look at the games played by both team and if you look at their odds distribution you will notice that they have been most goals scored by each team in previous game. Games played by both team and today’s each team playing each other or Excelsior playing home or Volendam playing away or Volendam playing from home or a Excelsior playing from away, you will notice that there have been more than two Goals, some more than one Goals so in Today's prediction we are going to be taking over 2.5 goals in this prediction because the statistic is more favorable to our side in this prediction today that is where we are now taking any team not to win the game, but rather we are going to be taking over goes in this prediction.
Real Madrid have been on a steady rise in recent matches but will face a tough challenge against Real Sociedad. However, with their form at home and in recent matches, we feel they are the favorites here. Real Madrid have five straight clean sheets, but here they face a side that scored in 10 of their last 11 matches. Real Madrid have scored 17 goals in the last five home matches and with Karim Benzema on the rise, there is reason to feel the streak will continue. Here we are thus backing Real Madrid for a 2-1 win.
It's been a long week with City advancing to the next round of the FA Cup with a 3-2 triumph over bitter rivals Manchester United, but their six-game winning streak came to an end mid-week with a 2-1 defeat. Goals from Vivianne Miedema and Danielle van de Donk ensured Arsenal got the better of City in the Continental Tyres League Cup semi-final but now there's the immediate chance for vengeance.
Scoring goals has seemingly come naturally to this side of late, especially at home, where they've notched ten in their last four (in all competitions) and have only failed to score in one of their last nine. Unfortunately, clean sheets have been few and far between during that time, while they haven't exactly kept opposing goals down to a minimum, shipping nine in their last five at Pirelli Stadium. Their scoring form bodes well ahead of the visit of MK Dons, but their defensive form does not.
After a rocky start to the season, Portsmouth have turned things around over the last few months. They're unbeaten in nine in all competitions and have won each of their last three in the league, scoring an impressive ten and conceding three in the process. Winger/forward Ronan Curtis has found his shooting boots again, while big summer signing John Marquis, who scored goals for fun at this level last term, is also starting chip in.
These boys are tired; they are down on their knees. We're squeezing absolutely everything out of them, and they've been absolutely brilliant again," he said. We know everything about Wolves; they know everything about us. So we don't need too much time on the pitch, we just need treatment and recovery and to get going again," he said.
Former Brazil forward Ronaldinho has been released from prison and placed under house arrest in Paraguay. The 2005 Ballon d'Or winner had spent time in jail along with his brother after being arrested on 6 March, accused of using fake passports. The pair had previously been denied bail but posted $800,000 (£648,000) each and must now stay in a four-star hotel in Asuncion while awaiting trial. Both Ronaldinho, 40, and his brother Roberto Assis deny any wrongdoing.
Belarus Vysshaya league 5 round and match between Bate and Torpedo. After 4 round Base is on 8 position with 2 wins and 2 losses games and goal different 6:5. On the another side Torpedo is on 2 position on table with 3 wins and one lost games with goal different 4:2. In last five H2H Bate have 3 wins and they played two draw games. Goal different is 11:6 on Bate side. In last 5 dual between this teams always play goal-goals and on four games results was over 2.5 goals. Bate not start good this season but in last round bet away 0:3 and my opinion is over 2.5 goals.
Borussia Dortmund are set to take on Augsburg this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Dortmund will be bolstered by new marquee signing Erling Haaland for this weekend's game. However, they can't overlook an in-form Augsburg side who have been enjoying a spell of good form of late.
I wouldn't have sat here and talked about us being fifth if we had got that one goal extra, so the league table at this point is not the biggest concern because it is so tight," Solskjaer said. I just need to make sure that we get performances and get three or four performances after each other - and results. So far we have had the lead in so many games and we haven't been able to win those games, six or seven times we've been 1-0 up, or 2-1, or 3-2 like last week.
Both Chelsea and Bournemouth will be looking to bounce back from disappointing performances and defeats last weekend when they face off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, though the Blues are huge favourites to triumph.
Fiorentina, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are under new ownership after American billionaire Rocco Commisso bought the club from the Della Valle family. The defeat left them 13th with 16 points, increasing the pressure on coach Vincenzo Montella, while Torino are eighth. Surprise package Cagliari stayed fourth, ahead of AS Roma on goal difference, when they hit back from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at Sassuolo, who missed a second-half penalty Domenico Berardi and Filip Djuricic put the hosts 2-0 ahead by halftime but Joao Pedro headed one back six minutes after the restart and Daniele Ragatzu equalised in the final minute.
Three of the last five Watford league games have been drawn. Watford registered just their first in of the season before the international break and they will be looking to make it two when they host Burnley. The win lifted Watford to 18th place on the standings with eight points while Burnley have 15 points and are 10th.
Although Cheltenham will approach this match with plenty of confidence given that they are in decent form, this weekend’s visitors will also believe they are more than capable of being able to come away with the three points given their own recent spell. Walsall have won three of their last four matches, and although they still have a bit of a gap to make up, they know that they need to maintain this form for a while longer if they are going to get back into the promotion race.
This went on for a couple of days. All of a sudden I said 'Right I'm going to put them all in' and that was against Huddersfield the following Saturday. I think we played three of the championship side and eight new players. It was a big decision, but sometimes you have to face these things, it worked out the right way. United are champions again with the team that's become known as The Busby Babes.
Juventus are the only unbeaten side in all competitions among teams in the top five European leagues this season (W15 D4). Meanwhile, Lazio have won their last six league games: the Biancocelesti have never had a longer run in the first half of a Serie A season. Following that run, these two Italian heavyweights go head to head.
Ashley Barnes scored with his only shot on targetA two-goal lead was comfortable, but Tarkowski twisted the knife with his first goal since last December as the clock edged towards injury time. Burnley already have the division's fourth best home record and, if they are addressing their away form, they may stick around the top six for a while longer.
With 10 points from four games, Group L leaders United are assured of a place in the last-32 and Solskjaer said it was "common sense" to rest most of their senior players while a number of youngsters expected to make their senior debut. We have done great to qualify after four games and it gives us an opportunity to give game time to experienced lads who need it," Solskjaer told reporters ahead of Thursday's encounter.
Summer signing Luka Jovic has failed to make an impact since his summer transfer to the Bernabeu so Real Madrid are ready to invest in Haaland, who has lit up the footballing world this season. Dortmund value the 19-year-old at £65 million and Real are willing to meet the German club's demands. The report also states that Real Madrid view RB Leipzig's Timo Werner and Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez as potential alternative strikers to Haaland.
With Blackpool failing to keep a clean sheet in five at home and Reading conceding in all four cup games they’ve played this term, we expect goals here. We are going for both teams to score as our pick following their thrilling 2-2 draw in the last meeting. That was the third time in four clashes between these two that BTTS landed, while a repeat looks likely for this clash with both suffering from defensive insecurities.
Newcastle United fail to score a goal in their last meeting against Oxford United which ended goalless draw. They will be looking to put this match into the bag to advance in the league table as they host Norwich city in Saint James Park match day 25. At home for Newcastle United this season they have have managed 5-4-3 (wins draws losses) they have created 12 goals in 12 matches and conceded 12 also.
On another frenetic day of sporting turmoil the announcement that England's top flight soccer league would be halted came shortly after the sport's European governing body UEFA announced that all next week's Champions League and Europa League games had been postponed. After Thursday's wipe-out which included placing American leagues the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball on hold, forcing the cancellation of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix in Melbourne, shutting down the men's tennis Tour and curtailing golf's Players Championship, the virus continued to decimate the global sporting calendar.
Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in four of Solihull Moors’ last six and three of Rotherman’s last five matches, so both teams head into Monday’s match in good scoring form but with very few clean sheets in their name. Solihull have lost twice at home this season and Rotherham have won six times on the road, so you can start to see why we have backed a narrow win for the League One side on Monday.

Mexican side Monterrey beat Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal 4-3 on penalties to equal their best performance at a Club World Cup with a third-place finish. Captain Carlos Eduardo met Yasser Al-Shahrani's cross to head Al Hilal in front after 35 minutes in Qatar. Monterrey fought back with two goals in five second-half minutes through Arturo Gonzalez' header and Maximiliano Meza.
There has been a failing at the club but that failing has largely come at a boardroom level – the building of the new stadium offers some mitigation but the pressures associated with that sort of project are well-documented, so that argument holds only so much weight. However, the timing of the decision, as the statement said, to relieve Pochettino and his staff of their duties at the end – rather than the start – of the November international break reinforced the impression of a board lacking football acumen, or direction.

How to Watch Olympique Marseille vs. Stade Brest 29 Aug 21, 2023 — Olympique Marseille hosts Stade Brest 29 in Ligue 1 action at Orange Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday at 11:00 AM ET.
I don't think Southampton's struggles mean Ralph Hasenhuttl is going to lose his job - I think there is more chance of him being given money to improve his team in the January transfer window. This is the start of a key period for Villa, who follow this game by playing Norwich (home) and Watford (away). I don't think Dean Smith's side have been playing that badly, and I don't think they will lack any confidence for this game.
Eddie Howe's side managed 14 shots in total, more than any other away league team at the Etihad during Guardiola's reign. A combination of bad luck and poor finishing means they do not have anything tangible to show for it, at least in terms of points that are so precious to them in their current situation. But there were positives, not least the way they avoided any further damage to their goal difference - something Howe must have feared before the game given City's current form.
He turned what was essentially a superb piece of defending from Stam into a demonstration of his own assumed superiority. He might as well have been blowing a dog whistle at Stam. I’m going to hit the arrogant w****r if he carries on" For all the showboating, Basler was one of the few attackers on either side who was invigorated rather than inhibited by the occasion.
