Argentina-Superliga Cup... The first group duel, not much can be said, no one knows how the teams will approach this tournament. One thing is certain, it will be an interesting match. Lanus is the home team here, so it has theoretical advantage but somehow they do not play their level in this. I see that Argentinos juniors despite they are not the favorites but they are able to take the qualification dance match and because a draw is also an option. You can't say too much good about Argentinos Juniors. I think that today they are equalized and the match will end in a draw.
Man City need Champions League win for successful season - WrightThe emergence of the Big FourThe Merseysiders never seemed like bona fide title contenders in this era but they were usually in and around the top four, and when Roman Abramovich purchased debt-riddled Chelsea in 2003, suddenly, there it was, the nascent Big Four, the divisional architecture that would dominate English and European football for the rest of the decade.

You don't need us to remind you what happened the last time Leicester were as well-placed at this stage of a Premier League season. And while we wouldn't suggest the Foxes book Andrea Bocelli again just yet, the stats behind their impressive start to this campaign do hint at something special brewing once more at the King Power Stadium. Out-foxing opponentsThe 2-0 win at Brighton means Leicester have equalled their best run of consecutive victories in the Premier League.
This, combined with the fact that Palace have scored 0.78 and conceded 0.88 goals per home game and West Ham have scored 0.88 and conceded 1.22 goals per away game, makes backing a 1-1 correct score prediction look a very good choice.

Their league positions only tell one half of the story. The hosts are on the up after picking up their results recently, while QPR are sinking after a string of defeats. The visitors are heading here out of form, with another tough fixture in prospect here.
Cologne, on the other hand, have failed to score in just two of their last 10 Bundesliga games. We feel that they are likely to get on the scoresheet versus a Werder Bremen side who have not kept a single clean sheet this season.
Four wins from five games in December and January had looked to have put them on course for a mid-table finish but Southampton have picked up just three points since the start of February. Their good form in the middle of the season is likely to be enough to keep them out of trouble as they sit seven points above the bottom three but they will be keen to arrest their current slide soon just to be certain.
Reid is playing a good season so far. They are currently on the first position with 48 points, having won 15 games from 20 games played this season. Reid is a team with a powerful attack, as the guests have scored 22 goals in 11 away games with eight wins and three draws.
Let's first see how things develop in China with the coronavirus. If Fellaini is to play at Euro 2020, where Belgium have been drawn in Group B with Denmark, Finland and Russia, Martinez would have to break one of his own rules. The coach previously said that in selecting his squad for any major tournament, he would give preference to those who had competed in most, if not all, of the qualifying matches.
10 days before the summer. Until the summer without EURO). But with Champions League. The coronavirus finally went into decline. But the championship of Belarus is still among the main contents. Today will be a very interesting match. The reigning champion Dynamo Brest receives the practically unchanged champion of the past years of BATE. Dynamo in this championship do not show close results that can give the opportunity to compete for the defense of the title. BATE, after an extremely dull start, issued an impressive spurt and broke into the usual leading position. To say that the motivation of both teams for this fight will be prohibitive is to say nothing. BATE in the last three full-time matches did not defeat the guys from Brest, who in the last five personal meetings won three victories with one draw. Brest plays with varying success, but scores in almost every match. It is difficult to predict the development of events. I will not be surprised at any outcome, from a major victory of Brest to a major victory of the BATTLE. Therefore, I will take neither yours nor ours, as they say. I suppose that the BATE winning streak will finally be interrupted. But Brest will not win. I bet on a draw. Good luck to all!

Guingamp is on 7. Position on the table but I think it is pretty much clear that they are coming for the top of the table or at least to get into a playoff zone because they are in good shape and after 2 wins in a row and 3 wins in last 4 games I m surely going to favorize them versus Sochaux,Sochaux is team on the middle and it seems like they are going to stay there to the end of the season and on the road they are not so good so on this odd I surely recommend this bet to anyone
We want to remind fans that soccer belongs to everyone, no matter what their cultural background, religion or sexual preference is.

The 27-year-old Denmark attacking midfielder has been one of Spurs' best players across his 291 games for the club but he is out of contract next summer and widely expected to leave. Eriksen has only started eight out of Spurs' 17 games this season, scoring two goals and setting up one other. Compare that to last season, when he started in 30 Premier League games - with an abdominal injury keeping him out of the starting XI for six of the other eight games.
I worked very hard during my time at Arsenal but since I have come to Everton I have learned so much more and improved a lot more," said Kelly. I learned a lot from the experienced players like Kelly Smith and Rachel Yankey but it came to a time when I needed to be pushing on and getting minutes on the pitch so moving to Everton was a great step for me.

Last Thursday, Inter Milan's Europa League victory over Ludogorets was played behind closed doors at San Siro Stadium.
Huddersfield Town will host Queens Park Rangers for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. I believe, Huddersfield have have a very difficult task in this game. In any case, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, we have QPR who's is a very unpredictable team. They have two consecutive losses. However, the visitors have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. So, the visitors have an effective attack. I think, QPR will closer to victory. Of course, this will not be an easy job.
His optimism has clearly rubbed off on his players as they got off to a rapid start - Gayle scoring within five minutes. It made amends for the striker's shocking miss in Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City and set the tone for a comfortable first-half performance from Newcastle. Saint-Maximin, the playmaker Newcastle can't seem to manage without, then produced the goods after half an hour when he deceived three defenders on the left and put a chance on a plate for Longstaff to fire into the roof of the net.
Al wasl fc have 3 win and 1 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 9 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 3 and lose 2 of their last 5 games scoring 12 goals and conceding 13 goals.
ZURICH, March 11 (Reuters) - The coronavirus outbreak led to more soccer postponements around Europe on Wednesday while travel and quarantine restrictions posed potential problems for international matches even in regions which have so far been less affected.

WBA has three victories in a row, and six points above second placed Leeds at standings, so far so good for them, they are confidently walk to their major goal in current season, and it is a direct promotion. Host has most effective attack in Championship, and definitely Nottingham Forest will not have an easy job in this duel. Visitors are at 5th place, they are also in a race for promotion, but despite a good performance in last round against Reading, they was defeated 0-1. In this duel, Nottingham Forest will be boosted with their best attacker Grabban, also Matty Cash should return into midfield. Major goal in this duel for visitors would be to avoid defeat.
Warta Poznan is going to face Nieciecza. The hosts of this match are not in good shape as they lost 0:2 against Odra Opole. They played pretty bad in the defense and made a simple mistake. They are a good and strong team but after that clash, I see a chance for Nieciecza to pick up at least one point. The visitors lost only one match of the last four and they look so good. They should take one point but I see a chance here for them to take 3 points. My bet is Asian handicap +0.25 for Termalica Nieciecza

N'Golo Kante has returned to Chelsea training having been allowed to stay away because of coronavirus fears. The France midfielder, 29, took part in the club's first session on 19 May but then decided to train at home, a move supported by Chelsea. However he has now resumed individual training at the club's Cobham base. Kante caused concern among team-mates in 2018 when he fainted after a training session.
His record is unbelievable and he transmits that confidence," said the England international. The way he speaks, you believe it, you feel it from him. I hope we can win a lot of games and do as well as possible. I think he's the perfect person to have followed on from Pochettino. That's the feeling I have. We're really happy that if someone was to replace Pochettino it was him, with that winning mentality.
Despite Amiens' misfortune in their last nine games, six of these have come away from home with their form at the Stade de la Licorne considerably better. Amiens have won four of their last six home games with victories over Marseille and Angers highlighting the quality they can show in front of their own fans. They have conceded ten goals in this time so there is still work to be done defensively but they will definitely give Montpellier a challenge here as they host la Paillade.
Ritchie was unfortunate not to open the scoring five minutes later when headed wide from Gayle's delivery, before striking the foot of the post via Rodriguez's deflection. Gayle and Ritchie both went close in the second half but the hosts managed just one effort on target after the restart - a low shot from second-half substitute Allan Saint-Maximin that was easily held by Pope.
But we have to listen to the recruitment experts too. Luis Enrique takes aim at 'disloyal' Spain predecessor Returning Spain manager Luis Enrique has lifted the lid on the chain of events which led to the ousting of his former assistant and successor to the national team job Luis Enrique. Read the full story here.
Moreno was 'disloyal', says EnriqueEnrique resigned from the role in June to spend more time with his nine-year-old daughter Xana, who died from bone cancer in August. Moreno succeeded him but told Enrique he wanted to be in charge at Euro 2020 before returning to assistant manager. Moreno left the role after Spain's 5-0 win over Romania on 18 November. I understand that he has worked very hard to be the coach and that he is ambitious - but for me that is disloyal," Enrique said.

Angers usually aren't scoring for fun but they have been particularly poor up front recently with just three goals scored in their last eight Ligue 1 matches. They will also need to be careful as they travel to Rennes as their away form has been pretty torrid this season. Les Scoïstes have won just one of their eight away games in all competitions this campaign with 18 goals leaked in this time, although it should be noted that six of these came in the first game of the season.
Incredibly, their victory over Wycombe at the weekend was their first away win of the season in League One, with seven of their nine previous outings ending in a draw. Considering Tranmere have only lost three home games all season, we think backing a Tranmere Win or Draw Double Chance is a great value offering.
