Both rivals are going with the less efficient matches, and this clash could be one of those where teams will not make over three goals in the match. Isloch should be favorite in this one, as they play at home and generally have better young reserves and youth team. However, Belshina did show some good capability in the defense, and it will not easy concede in the game.
And I don't think that necessarily means on May 1 we will be. UFC heading to 'private island' Well this is something. UFC President Dana White has said the mixed martial arts promotion is close to securing a "private island" to stage bouts for international fighters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation, which was forced to postpone three events, will resume its calendar with UFC 249 on April 18 and White said he had also found a new venue for that event after the Barclays Center in New York was ruled out.

I've been here many a year and hopefully the new guy coming in uses me. Ancelotti is sure to make it his business to find out why 19-year-old compatriot Moise Kean has not made an impact, even being substituted as a substitute by Ferguson at Old Trafford. Kean will surely welcome Ancelotti's cool, analytical, arm-around-the-shoulder style, not to mention another Italian voice, and the forward might see his arrival as the chance to get his Everton career going.
I think we played well overall, we were defensively sound," he said. We attacked well in the first half and stepped it up in the second. Davies' assist for Lewandowski was his third in the Champions League this season and seventh in all competitions. He has won 17 caps for Canada, having become the youngest player to feature for his country when he made his debut as a 16-year-old in July 2017. Oh, and the youngster is also a huge hit on social media platform Tik-Tok, with his sketch of a scene from US show Brooklyn Nine-Nine going viral.
Ferguson emerged just before kick-off to a raucous reputation and wasted no time reconnecting with the fans who adored him as a player. Never mind the smart shoes, he was off down the touchline at a fair lick whenever celebrating. The most important thing for Everton and Ferguson was the result - and that came deservedly from a set of players who should actually question themselves over how they showed a competitive edge and fire that was missing under Silva.
Haugesund started with two defeats from which they lost from bodo glimt 6-1 on the road in last game and I think they are not going to be able to recover from that so I am pretty confident they are not going to get the win in this match tonight but also it is very possible they are going to be defeated because on the other side Kristiansund started very good with a win over Alesund with 7 scored goals in last game and also a draw versus Rosenborg so I will favorize Kristiansund here but just slightly with draw no bet to secure it!
Not only did Spurs offer little in defeat against The Saints, but they also lost their captain and chief goal-getter Harry Kane to injury. In addition, key midfield player Tanguy Ndombele was also forced off injured. It's fair to say that 2020 didn't start as well as manager Jose Mourinho would've hoped.
Jan 31 (Reuters) - Latest news and highlights from Europe's top football leagues on transfer deadline day (all times GMT): 22:51 Premier League Aston Villa brought in Spanish forward Borja Baston from Championship (second-tier) club Swansea City on a free transfer. UNITED BRING IGHALO IN ON LOAN Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign former Watford forward Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, Sky Sports reported on Friday.
It has obviously changed our plans because we were geared up to perform this summer, we had made a trip to Baku to check things and to Rome but we are just going to replicate everything next year. But I always try to look at the positives. We will hopefully have Joe Allen, which we wouldn't have had this summer, we will have a fit and firing David Brooks. Also the young players who have done so well will have a year more experience, so there are plenty of positives, but ultimately we were built up for this summer.
Aston Villa vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result and 4 minutes ago — Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United: McTominay came off the bench as Erik ten Hag's side closed the gap on the top four with a huge win at Villa ...
TALKING POINT Arsenal need to act fast. If this was an audition to claim the Arsenal job on a permanent basis, then Ljungberg came up well short. To be fair, the Swede is a managerial novice and it is going to take significant changes at the club to undo a continuing decline. He's picked up one win in five at the helm, but masterminding a victory here was always going to be a tall order.
To begin with, the teams are now at different levels and solve different tasks. Juventus is fighting for the championship and I think they count on a minimum for the Champions League final. Ronaldo began to score again stably. His confidence is also reflected in the whole team. The quality of the game in many matches of Turin leaves much to be desired, but they achieve the result. Napoli, in every match, tries to find the game. The loss of Mertens became generally fatal. Without it, Napoli almost does not score. Only 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Gattuso is not a coach. I don’t know where the Napoli leadership is looking. His impulsiveness and tactical settings absolutely do not bring results. This was clear already from work in Milan.
When you're talking about 100 to 200 betting companies, we can count quite low for each company and still get up to huge sums. It's a huge, huge amount of money," Dan Korhonen, head of sportsbook integrity at Svenska Spel, told Sportbladet. Instead, the two clubs rearranged the fixture for the following Saturday, and to prevent gamblers from finding out about it, the players were notified via a private Facebook group and no information was posted about it online.
Hermannstadt is a favorite in this match. Even if the form is currently anything but good, it is also because they had to go away three times in a row. They lost none of the last five direct meetings, four of which were even won.
During the summer transfer window, United spent over £130m on defenders, bringing in Harry Maguire from Leicester City and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace, and also signed winger Daniel James from Swansea City. Solskjaer referenced the squad-building at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge in October 2015, with the Reds now 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League and the reigning European champions.
Sporting have lost four of their seven home games in the league this season and are yet to draw at home, while Benfica boast a 100% record on the road with seven wins from seven away games. Sporting average 1.71 points per home game while Benfica average 3.00 points per away game, so you can see why we have backed the visitors to win on Friday.
Over to the corner flag he went, over to his jubilant away fans, and once he got there he gave it the full Kylian Mbappé. And he almost kept a straight face, too. Bless him. RETRO CORNER Obviously Liverpool didn’t technically win the league last night, but … well, they pretty much did. So the Warm-Up looked up the last time Liverpool winning a league happened, a 2-1 win over QPR all the way back in 1990.
Borussia Dortmund need a win over Slavia Praha to have a chance to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund have looked good in the last two games in the Bundesliga winning both and scoring 7 goals. At home Borussia Dortmund have been excellent this season without defeat so far and in the last 4 home games they have scored at least 3 goals.
After Saturday's trip to Brighton, they face crucial games against Watford and Bournemouth. Looking further ahead, Villa's last game of the season is at West Ham, another of the clubs in a perilous position near the bottom of the table. We are a proud club," said Smith, a lifelong Villa fan. Standing there at 6-0 was not a pretty picture. In the end, it was a containment job against a far superior team but we were contributors to our own downfall and their third goal summed up the game.
Ronaldo missed the trip to play Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium as the Portuguese forward recovers from the injury he has been nursing in recent weeks. The side won 3-1 in his absence, with Gonzalo Higuain netting twice after the nerazzuri had taken the lead. I hope Ronaldo will be back for the Champions League on Tuesday," Sarri added.
The Premier League confirmed United and Southampton should not have been given penalties, but Tottenham should have been awarded one. Former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill, a Match of the Day pundit, said a former player should be involved to work alongside the VAR at Stockley Park. I think that would really help them, to understand the movements," the former Australia international said. When a player falls to buy a penalty you can feel it.
Remember: Messi has already won, apparently. Big Virg? Of course, it's not just Messi in the hunt for the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool supremo Virgil van Dijk is also hoping to scoop football's most coveted individual prize - and his team-mate James Milner is backing him. Happy Ballon d'or Day! What a time to be alive.
The players refused to return to the camp following a Champions League match against Salzburg four days later, prompting the club to announce legal action against them. Italian media reported this week that the players would be fined between one quarter and one half of a month's wages. Still, after Wednesday's performance, De Laurentiis appeared to be in a conciliatory mood.
Whatever was said behind closed doors seemed to do the trick as Napoli have won six of their subsequent seven games in all competitions, including cup wins over Inter Milan and Lazio as well as a league win over Serie A leaders Juventus. You win over the squad by working hard every day, with rules, respect and coherence," Gattuso told reporters.
in this fixture tucuman have proved to be the better side in head to head meeting but need to consider the fact that they enter this match with a handicap of being defeated in the first leg of the cup tie hence there is need for a step up within this match. The strongest will be aiming to upset the tucuman club by defeating them of fighting for a draw as this will guarantee a progression into the next round however they will need to solidify their qualification by scoring more goals hence expect a score line of two or more goals
AFC Wimbledon have managed to lift themselves out of the bottom three in recent weeks, winning two of their last three games. That is mainly down to the goalscoring of Marcus Forss, who has scored three goals in three games, giving him 10 for the season overall. This is in contrast to Tranmere whose top scorer has just four goals.

Tosun's arrival will boost Hodgson's forward options as, despite being in ninth place in the league, they are the second-lowest scorers in the competition with 19 goals in 21 matches this season. We're delighted to have secured Cenk's services for the remainder of this season," Palace chairman Steve Parish said in a statement https://www.
It is a galling statistic but somehow, helped by the failings of others and their own ability to grind out the occasional vital result, they find themselves right in the chase for the top four. And with Manchester City fighting a two-year ban from the Champions League after being accused of "serious breaches" of Uefa's club licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations, fifth place might yet be precious and lucrative.
Dr Anton Nachreiner, chairman of the DFB control committee, added: "Of course, the DFB control committee always has the requirements of the Fifa football rules and the DFB regulations in mind. In the specific case, however, these are targeted anti-racism campaigns by the players, which are committed to values for which the DFB also stands and always stands for. The Football Association said it would take a "common sense approach" to any protests such as those seen in the Bundesliga when English football resumes later this month.

This is an important game for both teams as it's a direct relegation battle, and the team with the upper will be able to breathe a little better. However, we do believe the hosts will be the ones to take all three points here, as their current form at home is good, with the Perth outfit winning twice and drawing once in their last four games at McDiarmid Park, whereas St Mirren, despite winning their latest away fixture, has still lost eight of their nine matches.
I wonder what happened next. Hernan Crespo's stunning finish was part of a massive false dawn for AC Milan in IstanbulDavid Villa - Barcelona v Manchester United (2011)There was no shortage of contenders for a Barcelona entry to this list. Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti struck as Frank Rijkaard's side overcame Arsenal in 2006, while Eto'o's opener in Rome against Manchester United and Lionel Messi's superb looping header in the same game also came close.

But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up. He did not start any of those 19 games, coming off the bench 10 times and remaining an unused substitute the other nine occasions. This season, Fernandes has been used in a wide variety of positions, but he has failed to hold down a starting spot with Lage not featuring the 20-year-old in the league or Europe since November.

Rosenborg is going to face Kristiansund in the first leg of the new season. The hosts are favorites but in their friendly matches they didn't play well in the offensive and usually, we saw 1 goal and it was a final result. I don't think that they will beat Kristiansund today as they lost the previous match 1:3. The visitors are not weak team and they played well in the previous year so I expect a really good and close match today. Both teams should score here a goal and maybe we will see a draw or a victory for Kristiansund. I play Asian handicap +1 for the visitors
Aldosivi is just one place above bottom, mostly because in last two rounds they are won four points, but this duel against Lanus will be a really test for their squad. Lanus is at 4th place at standings, but it is a fact that they playing much better at home ground than at away. Lanus has won in last round against Racing Club, but their shape still is not on high level, they must make some improvements if they wants to win in this duel. Major problem for Linux is lack of efficiency, but luckily for them, Aldosivi do not have a strong defense. Victory for Lanus sounds as realistic prediction for this duel.
The team is known for its togetherness. But the recent incident (between Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez) was the first challenge for you as regards that unity so do you have any regrets about how it was handled? Is the England culture back on track?For sure, it's not the only challenge we have had to our culture over three years. Absolutely it is done. From the group of players and internally, it was done by Tuesday morning.
I'm not saying clubs are not following a process but they aren't nailed on to a process because there is a little bit of a loophole there," said Townsend. You aren't going to be held accountable. It's like dipping your toes in without going to swim. After an 18-month pilot, the EFL introduced the policy "for all first team vacancies" last summer - after clubs voted in favour - becoming the only league in Europe to do so.
The mood,” said Andy Cole in Andy Mitten’s book Glory Glory!, “was almost like the preparation for a third-round Milk Cup tie at some third division club. Ferguson’s good cheer was briefly interrupted when he administered the hairdryer to a group of fans who were around the hotel and, in his eyes, interrupting the players’ preparation.

Antonio Conte has already made history with Inter Milan this season, but his side continues to impress. After another big victory in Europe in midweek, they face SPAL on Sunday aiming to add to their great league form. Inter are looking to win 12 of their first 14 matches in a Serie A season for the first time in their history, while they meet a SPAL side who look hapless at the moment.
Hero: Mario Balotelli For constantly having to deal with all of this. RETRO CORNER On this day in 1992, Eric Cantona signed for Manchester United, starting one of football’s most intense fan-player relationships. Here are all of his goals at Old Trafford. Try to contain yourselves. HAT TIP "Dortmund’s policy of signing young players cheaply, giving them first-team exposure and then selling them on for massive profits has made the club a byword for transfer success, with Shinji Kagawa, Ilkay Gundogan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ousmane Dembele and Christian Pulisic just some of the players to have trodden that particular path in recent years.
