It was his 121st goal for Napoli, equalling the club record held by Marek Hamsik. Mertens limped off injured in the 54th minute, and the mood of the tie changed completely three minutes later when Antoine Griezmann finished emphatically at the end of a fine team move. It was the first time all night that Barcelona had been able to pass through the Napoli defence.
Prior to that they had only scored three goals in four games and with so much riding on this game, we’re expecting the Swedes to revert back to their cautious style that has seen them lose just once in this Europa League campaign.
Furloughing right for some clubs, but not for others Media playback is not supported on this device Josh Murphy: Cardiff City winger joins delivery volunteers This is a challenging time for everyone - but across the country, and in all leagues at every level, I am proud to see that football is playing its part in different ways. It does not surprise me because it has always been the case. The game is an easy target because of the amount of money involved in it but so much great work is done by players, managers and clubs in their local communities and beyond, which often goes unseen.
Home team probably will not have any problems to win this duel with at least 2-0 and probably and more than that. I was watched and follow Lokomotive Pamir in first round in new season in this league, and they are played pretty solid, it was 2-2. On the other side is Dushanbe 83, as I know, team who is played in second round last season. They are played poor in first round and lost against actual champion, even 0-7. With so poor defense, they will surely lost many matches this season and probably and this one, it is clear.
The home team Besiktas will be meeting with the away team Ankaragucu and this game we can be very sure that the home team will not lose this game as looking at the last meeting with this game the home team have won many games as compared to the away team and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction
IOC confirm Olympics will be postponed Bach: 2021 Olympics 'not restricted to summer' Team GB welcome Olympic postponement 21:55 - Union Berlin players forfeit wages Union Berlin have announced that their playing staff has agreed to forego their wages while the Bundesliga is suspended because of the Covid-19 crisis.
These discussions are complex and as a result the process is ongoing. There was criticism when Newcastle and Tottenham became the first Premier League clubs to announce they were placing non-playing staff on furlough. Health secretary Matt Hancock said Premier League players should "take a pay cut and play their part" during the pandemic. Since then, Premier League clubs have said they will ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs.
They are on course to emulate Arsenal's 2003-04 'Invincibles' by going a whole season unbeaten and Saturday's 20th successive league win at Anfield meant they equalled Manchester City's record in the Premier League era. Bill Shankly's 1972 Liverpool side, the all-time record holders with 21 straight home wins, could be the next to be eclipsed as Klopp's side look, uniquely, to win every one of their 19 Anfield matches this season.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSTUESDAY Leicester v Brighton (18:00 BST)Leicester's draw with Watford on Saturday was such a strange game, with both goals coming in stoppage time. Ben Chilwell's strike to put the Foxes ahead was such a cracking goal and they must have thought they had nicked the points. That is exactly what Brighton did against Arsenal later in the day, and that really was a vital win for them.
Today will be played few games at the program of the new round at Slovenian Prva liga. Rivals at this match will be the teams of Triglav and Domzale. Both teams are neighbors at the lower part of the table - 8th and 9th positions.
But it wouldn't be long before he began to try to get his points across to his team-mates. Ten days after signing he made his debut and found himself faced with a silent dressing room after a sterile 0-0 first-half performance against Swansea. Unable to contain himself, he said his piece before turning to his left, where he noticed manager Arsene Wenger taking it all in but saying nothing. The Frenchman - and the players who witnessed the moment - knew then that he had brought a genuine leader into the club.
Tottenham can qualify for the last sixteen even without winning this game. They got off to a winning start on Saturday with a win away at West Ham and now it's time for Jose Mourinho's first home game. Olympiakos drew with Tottenham at home but have lost the next three games played and have a poor away record in the group stages. The tip here is for Tottenham to win and be ahead at both half and full time.

The RFEF's Competition Committee said in a statement https://cdn1. Rayo were also hit with a two-match partial stadium ban and fined 18,000 euros ($20,075. Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reported after the game that Rayo fans sang "Zozulya you are a Nazi" and used offensive language towards the Ukrainian striker, 30, who had a short-lived spell on loan at the Madrid side in February 2017.
All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks the only way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're happy to do with maximum confidence. The last 3 meetings between the two have seen goals at both ends and an average of 4.66 goals a game scored and we fancy that theme to continue in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
Last week's win at Tottenham Hotspur fuelled confidence that Wolves could challenge for a Champions League spot but they were far from their best against a resolute Brighton side. With Adama Traore left on the bench until late on, Wolves's attacking flair was missing and Brighton hung on for what could be a precious point in their fight to avoid relegation.
OB have lost three times at home this season while AaB have won three times on the road, and the hosts’ home games average 3.00 goals and the visitor’s away games average 3.22 goals. 78% of OB’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and 33% have seen over 3.5 goals scored as have 67% of AaB’s away games and over 4.5 goals have been produced in 22% of OB’s home games and 22% of AaB’s away games this season, which is why we have backed a 3-2 final score on Monday.
Much of their success on home soil has come courtesy of their ability to keep the opposition at bay as they have conceded just eight times and with just one side managing to escape with the points so far, they have every reason to be satisfied with the arrangement. That’s not to say they are running away with things, however, as all but one of their wins have come courtesy of a single goal lead.
Emerging victorious from clashes against the Premier League's top teams has been a much simpler task for United this season than winning against teams in the bottom half. While Liverpool have won game after game when not being at their best - earning 12 victories by a one-goal margin this season - United, when not firing on all cylinders, have slipped to disappointing defeats against the likes of Watford, Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Why Quique Setien was appointedTactical compromisesSetien, an ardent admirer of Barca legend Johan Cruyff, arrived in January with a promise to reinstate the Dutch master's playing style, which had been slowly eroded under predecessor Ernesto Valverde. For his first game, at home to Granada, Setien attempted to fulfil that pledge immediately by lining up with a Cruyffian back three, plus wing-backs, and with Lionel Messi as a false nine rather than in the right-sided role he has filled in recent years.

Glen Schreuder's glassesWhen Glen Schreuder's glasses got broken as he celebrated Aberdeen's Scottish Cup win over St Mirren at the end of February, the club took the unusual step of tracking him down, buying a new pair, and getting Sam Cosgrove to present them to him at a special ceremony.
Klopp was asked following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea in the fifth round if the team was worried about the spread of the flu-like virus or how it might affect them. Look, what I don't like in life is that (for) a very serious thing, a football manager's opinion is important. I don't understand it," Klopp told a news conference.
We hope to have Anthony definitely for part of the game, not sure if he's able to start," the Norwegian manager added. Paul won't be (ready), no. I hope Paul will be back as soon as possible, he's out on the grass training. I said (he would return) in 2019 so hopefully before the new year. Solskjaer also commented on Corriere dello Sport's 'Black Friday' headline, which was on the Italian sports daily's front page along with pictures of former United team mates Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku.

It was always about winning at City, and we wanted another trophy. But that season, Wigan had already pushed us very close. A few weeks before the final we beat them 1-0 at Etihad Stadium but they had a strange formation, where their wingers did not drop back and defend. Wigan started the FA Cup final with the same formation that had troubled Manchester City in the Premier LeagueGary Caldwell: "That was the night we all knew we could win the cup because we played so well.
We urgently seek constructive dialogue with the FA with the aim to have the decision reconsidered. BBC Sport has seen communication between clubs and their local MPs demonstrating that they have written, or will be writing, to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on this issue. The letter says that if there is no consensus reached with the clubs, they will "embark on potential legal recourse".

This is going to be their second game ever, so there is no tradition as a factor. I had to look for a recent form and style of play. Playing their first game, the exact correct score will not be an easy task to do. Therefore, I had to combine other factors too. I see an easy away win, as Lokomotiv Moscow represents one of the best clubs in Russia for decades against weakside newcomers.
Not the sort of side to go out and batter anyone, they've scored more than once on just three occasions this term, Reims have fast become a sturdy unit, a team that gives little away, soaks up pressure and grinds out regular results.
A lot of players there haven’t played it, or maybe a few years ago. When you have an eye opener the only answer is to just look at yourself. I thought Mateo Kovacic played with a personality and character. Tonight wasn’t a night where we showed that. I learnt about the players. We went with the system that worked well at the weekend.
Until the inevitable happened. A second yellow in the 92nd minute of Paris St-Germain's 4-3 win against Bordeaux on Sunday means the Brazilian will now be suspended for Saturday's home game against Dijon. In 2015, he was suspended from action for Barcelona, around his sister's birthday in March. In 2016, the same happened. In 2017, he had a muscle issue, which saw him ruled out around his sister's birthday.
In his statement announcing the decision, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy highlighted the examples set across Europe, with Bayern Munich and Juventus players high-profile examples of squads taking pay-cuts. Of course Levy’s surely heartfelt plea would probably land better were it not for the fact that it was recently announced that his own salary as the highest-paid Premier League executive had jumped up to £7 million per year, including a £3 million bonus for the opening of Tottenham’s new stadium, which as a reminder was eight months late and over budget.
It said that its president Gabriele Gravina had put forward three alternatives in case the championship could not be concluded which would be discussed at a meeting on March 23. One possibility would be to have playoffs to decide the champion and relegation to Serie B, the statement said. A second would be to declare the current standings to be final — which would result in Juventus winning the title by one point from Lazio — and a third would be to not declare a champion this season.
Home team will easy win new points in this match from Austrian Bundesliga and that is pretty real for me. So, LASK is this season very good team and that is the fact. They are played in Europa League very good and secure second stage in that competition. In elimination round, Manchester United is beat them 5-0, but they were happy with excellent result generally in that competition. Against Hartberg, they are won last time 5-0, so I don't see any problems for them and this time. Of course, I will try with this option, who is very very real.
A pretty strong set of results over December and the festive period left fans of Colchester United thinking that they had it all to look forward to in 2020. United were playing well, climbing the table and beginning to look like real contenders in the battle for promotion. However, since the turn of the year things have got a lot more frustrating.
