But Valmiera won the first two games against them last season beating them here with 1-0 and also a 1-0 win at Valmiera stadium for them.

Impressive start to the new season from Famalicao, a team that was last year in the 2nd league but had a tremendous investment a few years ago and is determined to be a solid project in the first division of Portuguese football. They are currently in the 3rd place and securing a place in the European competitions for the next season is definitely the team's goal for this year. On this match they will face they will face Tondela, a team that is clearly a level below them and we expect Famalicão to get the win on this match at home.

All things considered, we feel that backing a Nantes win is the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Angers have lost 6 of their last 9 away matches and with Nantes so strong as hosts, we fancy them to run out 1-0 winners in this one; a scoreline by which 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 home wins have come by.
This is one of the best of the day for sure, genoa is still in relegation zone with 1 point less then leče and I m pretty confident they are going to stay there after this game today because I do not believe they could win some points versus the Roma,Roma has the same number of points as atamana on fourth place and after they beat parka on the road their confidence is surely in high level so I think they are going to win tonight and who wants to risk I surely recommend to him to go with some handicap win on Roma
Manchester United don't have the hardest of fixture lists so look like ending the year on a high. They have won their last two league games and are strong at home. Marcus Rashford is in top scoring form and with Martial back in the team, they can get a win in this game. Everton showed improvement under Duncan Ferguson but they have struggled on their travels for a fair while now. Go for United to get the win.
The technology has led to some frustrating moments for those on the touchline and in the stands as they've celebrated goals, only to see them ruled out after a review. Poor Pep Guardiola has had more than his share of VAR misfortune. It played a significant part in Manchester City's elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Tottenham in April and again went against his side in their crucial Premier League tussle with title rivals Liverpool in November.

They were 14 points clear at the top of the Isthmian North Division with 12 games to play having lost just twice in the league all season. We likewise found out from social media without any prior consultation,” the former Ipswich centre-back told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. This decision has come just 12 days after the suspension of games. I can’t see what the rush is.

This is a fixture of a strong top of the table team against a weak bottom of the table team. It's clear the away team are coming in this fixture as complete underdogs and almost hopeless in the relegation battle. They have been a punching bag for almost all teams only registering two wins in their last ten games in all competitions including a friendly. The last meeting of these teams produced a three goal game with Ajax completely outclassing RKC and firing 19 shots which only seven were on target and four were blocked. Today it will different as they look to command the table. They will be more clinical and more accurate to close the game quick.
It's the isolation life of living on Zoom!" Jepson told BBC Sport. The staff and the squad are having regular catch-ups. We have staff meetings most mornings.

Brazil are the current holders after beating Peru in July to win the tournament for the ninth time.

The four sides in Group J are apart by just three points, meaning it’s all to play for as they approach their penultimate game on Thursday night.

But, after being relegated there too, he returned to Bulgaria last summer.
In my opinion, there is enormous quality difference between these two teams, I don't care what the majority of people thinks about LASK Linz, how good team they are, they compete in the Austrian League, which is very weaker than the Premier League. LASK Linz had an easy opponent in the previous round, vs AZ Alkmaar, team that lost from Manchester United 5:0 in the group stage. I expect the team from Manchester, to win this match without any major problems. After all, they won against Manchester city, so I think they can win against LASK Linz also. Good luck.

The two sides eventually returned and the game eventually ended in a 2-2 draw, unlike Bayern and Hoffenheim, who played out the last 10 minutes uncompetitively in protest at the banners in the stands.

It's that time of the season again. Clubs will be on the hunt for a bargain or big-money signing, whether they are aiming for the title, looking to clinch a European spot or trying to avoid relegation. There is one interesting point to consider this season - players who have played for one team in Europe are no longer cup-tied when they move to another club participating in European competition. So could that mean clubs are more willing to splash the cash?How player values are worked outLondon-based investment company Carteret Analytics advises three Premier League clubs, and another 12 leading sides from around Europe and the rest of the world, on potential new signings.
Another super interesting match from this round in Bundesliga in Germany and another very very interesting duel. After Werder is lost at home more than easy against Bayer Leverkusen 1-4, I was pretty sure that this team will lost and in second match after brake of Corona Virus, against Freiburg, but that was not happened. Werder is beat them 1-0 as a guests. It will be very very hard to do that again, against Borussia, so my option here surely will be goals, who are very good option. I will bet on over 3 and try with that here surely.

I will pick the over 2.5 goals here because their last meeting ended 3-4 in favor of Illertissen in Rosenheim.
Zaha was Brighton's nemesis again. Luka Milivojevic crossed from the right and James Tomkins headed the ball down to the Ivory Coast international, who controlled the ball and cut on to his left foot before smashing a shot into the near top corner of the net. That was his sixth goal against the Seagulls, more than he has scored against any other side. From that stage on, Palace were the more likely winners.

TALKING POINT – Lampard’s home woes mount It is now six defeats in all competitions at the Bridge for Chelsea this season, and the most concerning thing for Lampard is the similarity in the way each victor has played. His youthful side has rightly earned plaudits for the way they have performed at times, but they really struggle to break down low blocks.

Perhaps if Spurs had played with a little more fortitude in the first-leg, when they were up against a Leipzig side without their three first-choice centre-backs, then this sort of Hail Mary approach wouldn’t be required. Maybe they will pull something out of the bag, but you wouldn’t be entirely optimistic about it.
The Spurs and England captain had an ineffective first half despite latching onto a long ball from Alderweireld and firing at Krul from close range. But when Spurs found themselves a goal behind for the second time in the match, Kane came alive in the penalty area and dragged his team level. The striker enticed the challenge from Zimmermann before checking back on his left and winning the spot-kick, which he subsequently converted with ease.
The press box was packed, not a seat to be had. Yes, all the other broadcasters and written journalists can hear you when you go big for a goal. Who cares? Not me. It felt strange knowing we had a seven-second jump on the TV pictures, especially when the radio show itself was coming from a Leicester pub that had 700 people inside. We were offering the best and worst spoiler in sport history. Our presenter at the time, Jason Bourne, was anchoring the coverage with the noises of hopeful Foxes and former pros in the background.

Like many US cities, Miami has experienced several false starts when it comes to football but the latest attempt to bring the game to the south of the Sunshine State promises to be very different, thanks to a Major League Soccer trailblazer and one of the biggest names in world football: David Beckham. On Sunday, MLS welcomes Beckham's Inter Miami to the fold as South Florida takes another shot at sustaining a successful team in a sport the locals call "soccer", or, "futbol".
VAR technology was in use - but only at Premier League grounds. So it was not in operation at Middlesbrough, where Tottenham felt the hosts' goal should have been ruled out for offside, but it will be in operation for the replay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following the 1-1 draw. And the fact it was in use at some grounds but not others was a cause for concern for BBC Radio 5 Live's Pat Nevin.
