TOKYO, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Al Hilal will be backed by up to 3,000 of their own fans at a sold-out Saitama Stadium on Sunday as they look to claim their first Asian title in almost two decades when they face Urawa Red Diamonds in the Asian Champions League final second leg. Razvan Lucescu's side hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Riyadh two weeks ago courtesy of a goal from winger Andre Carillo and the club have requested all of their allocation for the return match at the 63,500-seater stadium north of Tokyo.
It for sure will not be the first time that Ural lose at home by 2 goals difference or more as they have lost 5 of their last 6 home games in the league and defensively they are very weak and cannot manage to avoid conceding goals in their home games lately with 4 losses in a row in the league at this moment this while Spartak defeated city rivals Lokomotiv with no less than 3-0 on the road lately so I do see them very capable not only to win but to win by at least 2 goals difference as well.

Who is Ansu Fati?However, Real will cut the lead to two points if they beat Valencia at home on Thursday (21:00 BST). At 16 years and 298 days, Fati became the second-youngest first-team player in Barcelona history when he made his debut in a 5-2 win over Real Betis on 25 August. Having moved to Spain at the age of six with his family, he has been with Barcelona's youth academy since 2012. This was Barcelona's first match at the Nou Camp since La Liga resumed after it was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemicThe exciting youngster produced a composed finish to put Barca in control before Messi doubled the lead in the first match played at the Nou Camp since La Liga resumed after it was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
They are neither here nor there. What I'm absolutely certain about is they are not a good enough to keep the likes of Mesut Ozil out of the team. One bright spark though in a ordinary Arsenal side is stand-in goal keeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine came into the side at a difficult time for the injured Bernd Leno and he produced a superb one handed save from Southampton's Danny Ings when Arsenal were under immense pressure.
I can't imagine selling Andraz for a fee that is lower than 7-8m Euros. We already registered big offers during summer transfer period, but Sporar stayed with the club. In the case of a summer transfer, it would have been the biggest transfer in Slovakian history. Now, clubs are addressing even better offers than in the summer. His value increased a lot during the last month. With his performance in the group stage of Uefa Europa League, he showed that he fulfils the qualities of European football.
The visitors, who kept a clean sheet for the first time in 14 games, could even afford to rest Sadio Mane against a side whose fifth successive defeat left them one point above the relegation zone. The home cause was not helped by an injury to Nathan Ake, who limped of with a hamstring strain a minute before Liverpool took the lead.
Such a change would add considerably to the actual overall playing time which, he said, might necessitate playing two halves of 30 minutes instead of the current 45 plus stoppage time, which is usually no more than a few minutes. It would be a cultural shift putting soccer more in line with sports such as basketball and American football.
Certainly since the dismal 1-0 away defeat to Sheffield United which ushered in a run of one win in nine games. Perhaps as far back as the ruinous run of form towards the end of last season which saw Arsenal meekly surrender in the race for the top four and then suffer the humiliation of losing 4-1 to Chelsea in the Europa League final – a match that Arsenal needed to win to return to the top table of European football, while Chelsea had already qualified.
If you look around the league, there are plenty of teams who need a goalscorer. I reckon there will be a few clubs trying to take him in the summer, but the statistics show how important he is to Southampton because he gets so many of their goals - for his percentage to be so high is just staggering.

With just three clean sheets in the last 15 matches, Espanyol will have a real defensive concern going to this game. They have also failed to win any of their last three Europa League matches, losing two and drawing one. Espanyol have however gone unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions, though they won only one of these.
This is different to the Premier League, which saw six positive tests come back from the first round of testing of players and staff, but said those affected would isolate for seven days. Before training can resume, Championship players will have to actively 'opt in' to the first phase of training, in accordance with the government's guidelines. They will do so by providing written confirmation that they have received the "Covid-19 operational policy" and that they agree to take part in training.

Gerard Delofeu and Abdoulaye Doucoure fired Watford ahead before Pedro Neto pulled one back for Wolves, who failed to capitalise on a numerical advantage in the last 20 minutes after defender Christian Kabasele was sent off for the hosts. Deulofeu opened the scoring with a neat 30th-minute finish when he beat goalkeeper Rui Patricio with a crisp low shot into the far corner after good work by Ismaila Sarr.
A lot of the time, these hyper-talented ultra-focused multi-millionaires can seem removed from the cares of the everyday working man. But watching Arsenal tear about the place against Manchester United, you could see the same relief, the same sense of liberation that courses through every office when they hear “Yeah, so and so won’t be in today.

We have budgeted for the amount. It is a centralised system and both the national team and franchise players are budgeted for," Faul told local media on Tuesday. At this stage we will have enough capacity to see us through the season. But in the long term, even if we cover this season, we will have to look at what the situation is going to be after that and the financial impact it has.
Slavia did play some high scoring matches at the begin, and they were able to concede and score more more than two goals in average on their games. However, with the recent minimal win in Cup, over favorite BATE, they could make their performances more defensive. Especially if want to keep the high position in the league. They would host Ruh, as favorite, and this can be new role for them.
The Swede has sparked a revival at AC Milan, who are unbeaten since his arrival at the start of January, and raised hopes that they can end their poor recent run against second-placed Inter, who themselves need a win to keep the pressure on leaders Juventus.

Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after 42 minutes after latching on to a flick-on from Adam Lallana, only for Craig Pawson to rule it out for a handball by the Englishman. Video - Nuno fumes at VAR: 'The referee is miles away, he doesn't feel the game'00:54 The Wolves players were further incensed when Neto had an equaliser ruled out for an extremely marginal offside, again by VAR.
Business is about to pick up. The Champions League group stages did not disappoint with a record 308 goals scored - and Europe's elite club competition returns with the start of the knockout stages. All four English teams - holders Liverpool, runners-up Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City - progressed to the last 16, with last season's finalists both in action this week.

However I did warn you in a previous article that something like this was on the cards. Abuse at football matches is out of control. I can't claim to know Dier although I have interviewed him on a number of occasions and he's a decent lad. I also know his uncle Andrew and knew his grandfather, the late Ted Croker, who was the former secretary of the FA and a stickler when it came to standards of behaviour.
Furthermore one of the joys of Vardy the player is how much he brings to the team aside from his goals with his relentless pressing and space he therefore creates for his team-mates. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy of Leicester CityGetty Images Some of those team-mates, such as Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante, have moved on to bigger things, but Vardy has stayed loyal to Leicester, doing his very best to drag them back into the Champions League.

Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Oxford United 2-3 Newcastle United highlights Now they get the chance to push for promotion once more when during the shutdown, it was uncertain whether the season would resume. Boss Karl Robinson wants to pick up where they left off when they face Portsmouth on Friday, having won five games in a row before the season was halted. We're hoping to try and achieve something that was a distant dream for all of us and that's been a constant message to the players in the few weeks we've been back together," he told BBC Radio Oxford.
There could be hundreds of players without a club who know they are talented but are at a career crossroads and thinking 'what on earth do I do now?'They are going to need support. Mental health issues in football are getting a lot more awareness but, given the situation, I can only think there are going to be more players affected in the months ahead.

Thankfully for the visitors, the cup gods were smiling down on them when Klose was sent off and, having a stronger bench to call on, it seemed inevitable United would break Norwich resistance. Krul did his best to keep them at bay, saving from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford - three of United's six substitutes - before remarkably clawing Maguire's header off the line. But with two minutes of extra-time remaining, United finally wore their opponents down when Maguire pounced to hooked home.

However, when he does score they tend to be real beauties - and the one against Brighton was no exception. But for those who think I only pick goal scorers and do not concentrate on performances, think again. Doucoure was the player who chased Aaron Mooy 20 yards and forced the Australia international into an error, allowing Watford to take possession. With almost half the pitch between Doucoure and the Brighton goal the Frenchman planted the most superb strike past Mat Ryan, with five Brighton players closing in.
Hello again for everyone tipster in this very nice game. For tomorrow I will try to take good stake for this game between Brescia and Lacio. This is Italy Serie A and this stake is very good for me.

Brescia is not easy opponent that's why for me I will give win for Lacio bu they will take this game with one or two goals not more.
