Both teams come into this game in overall equal form, but Hearts are in a real slump at the moment when playing away from home. The fact the Jambos haven't scored an away goal since the end of September is damaging, which is why we're going to back the hosts to win here. However, we're going for a narrow 1-0 win for Hamilton, as they have only scored an average of a goal per home game, whilst Hearts have let in 1.89 on the road and don't seem to be changing any time soon- even with their new manager.
He had just done something similar when he set up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to score moments earlier with the most gorgeous backheeled flick. Yes, Southampton should have had a penalty when Fabinho brought down Danny Ings, but Liverpool also had a claim turned down when Firmino was 'hauled down' by Shane Long in the box. This was a game full of errors by referee Kevin Friend but at least he made the errors and not a sophisticated toy.
So how do we keep players positive and focused?, he said. Some have switched off because they think the season's going to end. Others think 'we're just going to be playing the season out' (if it resumes) or 'we're not going to win anything anyway'. At the moment my role's more about psychology than fitness," he said. Players like routine and having an end game. Now they're stuck at home and don't know what's happening.
I told him together with my goalkeeper coach that we had analysed his free-kicks when he was at Manchester United. At no point did I tell Ronaldo how to take a free-kick. Anyway, it is all a bit moot now because well, you know, Benitez does not coach Real Madrid and Ronaldo no longer plays for Real Madrid but Benitez probably should have told him how to take a free-kick to be fair as the 35-year-old currently can’t hit a barn door.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of the last five Southampton league games. The last three Watford league games have only produced four goals. Watford have only scored one goal in their last three league matches. Watford lost their most recent game at Burnley and remain 16th in the Premier League, a point above the bottom three.

Clubs seemed more resigned to their fate. But there have been a lot of meetings over the last six weeks, with raised and angry voices during those. It had to be resolved, there was no way we could deal with the cost of carrying on. I don't know if 'fair' is the right word but I think this is the nearest to fairness you can find. Robins has instilled belief' - analysisBBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Clive EakinCoventry's promotion to the Championship continues a dramatic turnaround in the club's fortunes and is more remarkable than when they bounced back up out of League Two at the first attempt.
We have instead opted to do more technical details that prioritised the players familiarising themselves with the ball once again - touch, passing and shooting. La Liga players returned to training at the end of MayPlayers have finished training more tired than usual, and we have also put in place ice therapy for everyone because temperatures have risen considerably and we are going to have to play our matches in temperatures of around 30 degrees and even more in the months of June and July.
Deportivo de la Coruna face Rayo Vallecano. The Galician team arrives after two consecutive draws and I hope that today they may have options to score one or more goals to fight for the three points at home. On the other hand, the Madrid team arrives after scoring in the last 6 games and I think we can expect an offensive match here. Deportivo La Coruna have not been good and are without win in the last 6 games. Rayo Vallecano are coming from a victory against Fuenlabrada. They are aiming to climb to the playoffs zone, and I think they will get at least a point here. When the two teams met earlier this season Rayo won 3-1.
Arsenal will look to get another win as they continue the Mikel Arteta era. Wins breed confidence and even though the Gunners will make plenty of changes (as will their opponents), they will want to avoid an embarassing defeat by Leeds United. The visitors have a poor record in recent years with some bad defeats by lower league and non league clubs. Their current form isn't that good either and the tip is for a home win.
Injury meant the wing-back struggled to recapture his top-flight debut season form at the start of this campaign, but he is starting to threaten serious points again. He has started Wolves' last three games - his longest run in the side in 2019-20 - and while he hasn't scored or assisted in that time he has had seven shots and created three chances. His 20 touches in the opposition box is the highest of any defender in the league since 1 October and his expected goals of 0.
Botev Plovdiv will host Etar for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both sides are one of the teams of the relegation group. In my opinion, Botev are more ambitious team in this league. I think, the hosts will try to change their position. In any case, Botev will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Botev are in better shape in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. Also, we have Etar who's is a very unpredictable team. Visitors have big fluctuations. Also, Etar is poor team away from home.
Points against the so-called 'big six' must be built on if the Canaries are to become the first side bottom of the Premier League at the turn of the year to overcome a six-point deficit from safety and survive. Kane and Erisken demonstrate their qualityWhen Mourinho took the Spurs job he spoke about the "quality" he was inheriting from Mauricio Pochettino, and Kane is exactly the type of player the Portuguese was referring to.
Complexity Gaming beat Gareth Bale's Ellevens in Milan to win the Fifa eClub World Cup for the first time. Complexity, co-owned by Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones, beat Ellevens on penalties after the game finished 0-0. Americans Joksan Redona Tello, 21, and Max Popov, 17, won $40,000 (£31,000) and 20 Global Series ranking points. Winning the Fifa eClub World Cup title is huge for us and a major step forward ahead of the Fifa eWorld Cup this summer," said Tello.
It has been reported that Williams told Athletic captain Iker Muniain about the abuse, who then informed referee Jose Sanchez Martinez. No black player or any player ever wants to hear that," Williams told the Athletic Bilbao website after the game. It's completely out of order, people should go to matches to enjoy themselves, to support their team; football is a team sport and should be played in a friendly atmosphere.
Sunday, no," Solskjaer told reporters when asked about Pogba's return. Spurs? I can't say now, because I've not been home and seen him, let's see where he's at when he comes back and starts training with us. Every player is allowed to be injured when he's injured and Paul is working hard to get back.
He affectionately describes the former England captain's managerial style as "crazy", with Butcher hyping players up for games by asking what dog, tree or historical figure they would be. It worked because you weren't thinking about the game," Ross recalled. We'd be laughing and then going into the next one like 'what is he going to say now?'. Then came John Hughes. He was different, but just as crazy - all about football," he said.
Manchester United put in another defensively catastrophic performance at the weekend as they were deservedly held at home to Aston Villa, and many may argue that the visiting villains actually deserved to take all three points from Old Trafford.

He has made 127 appearances for five different clubsIt is scary times for players like me who are coming to the end of their contracts. It is the first time in my career that I am potentially going to be a free agent and, given what is going on, it has probably happened to me at the worst possible time. But I hope being a free agent is going to be a positive. Clubs generally are not able to spend £2m or £3m on a player so, overall, I would probably say that I am in a strong position.
Game for the 26th round of the Championship with Bristol City facing Brentford on this contest here. Brentford is currently in Playoffs position but the last rounds on the road for this team have not been easy with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games that they played away from home. On the other side, Bristol City got a very good win in the previous game at home and definitely have good chances to avoid a defeat here. For that reason, we will take their +0.5 Asian Handicap since we expect them to get at least a draw.
I am talking about the timeframe between the moment you lose the ball, when you try to win it back, and what you do in the meantime. If you cannot win it back immediately by competing with the person who took it off you, then you get back into position, and the team drops back into its shape. These are the basics, really, but doing neither leaves you exposed, which is what has been happening too often to Arsenal for a long time now.
Both Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG were due to play Champions League matches next week in Australia against A-League sides Perth Glory and Sydney FC. Australia's government, however, on Saturday imposed a temporary travel ban on foreign nationals arriving from China. Anyone arriving in Australia from China would be returned to their port of origin or quarantined for 14 days.
Both tournaments are currently in the last-16 phase. This relies on the health situation improving quickly – perhaps why UEFA were reluctant to confirm the dates in Tuesday’s statement – as that would only push the original dates back by four weeks. The proposed, and at this stage unofficial, schedule appears to reflect fears surrounding player contracts with a host of top players (see below link) set to depart their clubs on June 30.
Going to the game, Bournemouth are placed 12th with 16 points and Liverpool are at the top with 43 points. Bournemouth have four straight losses as they head to this game. In their last 10 matches, they have one win and six losses. They have failed to score in five of their last 10 matches and three of their last five matches have produced over 2.
Avai were winning 2-0 away to local rivals Figueirense in Florianopolis when video images showed the shirtless fan running towards their team bench. The fan was hauled over by reserve goalkeeper Gledson before another Avai player, Bruno Silva, aimed a kick at the fan -- who was now on the ground -- but accidentally struck his team mate instead.
Others, such as Rochdale and AFC Wimbledon, have pinpointed financial and safety concerns which make them less in favour of a resumption. The EFL announced their "recommended framework" for how the season could be completed last week - with promotion, relegation and play-offs still in place in the event of a curtailment. The EFL board will review feedback from clubs at a meeting on Wednesday and then put forward a proposal to be voted on by clubs at an EGM.
We are heading towards a football match always in the championship of Israel. The match will pit two teams very badly ranked since they are the last two of the classification. The match will therefore put the raanana team against the team of nes tziona. Raanana's team has not won in their last 8 games, losing 5 times. The team has won only once this season in 10 games. Even if it is not terrific, I do not see the visitors losing them who comes with confidence after their victory in the last match against the 3rd placed team

Palace have lost at home to all of the top three teams in the league and recently lost 4-0 at Liverpool and 3-0 at Leicester. Goals are a big problem for Palace and only once in their last 12 home league fixtures have they scored more than once, that being the 2-1 win over West Ham.

Arteta's positive test forced the team to go into self-isolation, while the Premier League has suspend the soccer season until April 30.

After a while, you realise that and stop making the runs. What is the point?"Whereas when I was at Liverpool with Steven Gerrard or Stoke with Charlie Adam, I knew they would be looking for me whenever they could and it kept me on my toes. It is the same with Pogba at United now. You could see the effect his introduction had on the movement of Martial, Rashford and Mason Greenwood on Sunday, because suddenly they were on the move as soon as he got on the ball.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced the state of emergency on Tuesday, giving authorities more power to press people to stay at home and businesses to close.

Ambition is to be encouraged but excessive ambition is a defect, not a virtue.

Stuart Pearce says West Ham's owners blocked his return to the club as part of manager David Moyes' backroom team. The ex-England and Hammers defender had questioned the decision not to keep Moyes on after his first spell as boss. Pearce had been an assistant along with Alan Irvine and Billy McKinlay but said he will not be returning this time. It won't happen. I think the owners felt I was a little bit critical of the regime when we left last time and put the block on it," said the 57-year-old.
That game against Real made me realise how good he is. Everyone knows he is a world-class player but it is about time now we started putting him right up there with the very best, like we did with Luka Modric or we used to with Andres Iniesta and Xavi. He is a different sort of player, but he is one of them - he is that good. And the winner is.

Bale has been heavily criticised in the Spanish press over the flag celebration, which followed Wales' decisive 2-0 win over Hungary on Tuesday. There was also consternation in Spain over Bale's return to Wales action in Azerbaijan last Saturday, as he had not played for Real since picking up an injury while with his country in the October international break. We don't if he knew what was on that banner," Calderon said.

However, a senior source has told the BBC there is merit in the proposals and they could be used as a template that can be amended slightly to gain support from clubs and countries alike. The ECA is trying to increase both the size and scope of what will be three European competitions by 2024 as many clubs outside the major leagues feel they do not get enough games. Europe's five most high-profile domestic leagues - in England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany - are providing all 16 teams for the knockout stages of this season's Champions League; it is the first time that has happened in the competition's history.
He completed 90 minutes in Barca's 3-2 defeat by Atletico Madrid on Thursday which saw them exit the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
