There have also been big signs of improvement from the hosts. Since Claudio Ranieri’s arrival at Sampdoria, only Real Madrid (seven), Leicester and Getafe (both six) have recorded more clean sheets than the Blucerchiati in the top-5 European Leagues. We are backing Samp to add to that here, with another solid victory over one of the league’s worst sides.

To grow alongside women's football and to see where it is now, I'd have never dreamt it when I was 11 or 12 years old, when I first got into playing in girls' teams. As a girl I think I've been told it's not normal; it's not a girly thing to be competitive and strong. It's something I've fought against my whole life. I've just realised now in my late 20s that being a competitive, strong little girl was the best thing that could have happened to me.

Saturday's loss to Manchester United, coupled with Liverpool's win at Bournemouth, leaves the champions 14 points behind Jurgen Klopp's side. It is not time to think about that," Guardiola said. We have to try to continue. There are many things to play for. City would need to win all their remaining 22 games to reach the 98-point mark that secured the title last season. Even then, City - now three points behind second-placed Leicester, having played a game more - would require a significant dip in form from Klopp's side, who have won 15 of their 16 games this term.
Andrea Orlandi, the former Barcelona, Swansea and Brighton midfielder who is now a pundit for La Liga TV, believes the main question facing manager Ernesto Valverde is not where De Jong should fit in, but how to accommodate others around him. There is no doubt he'll start El Clasico. It's Messi and De Jong, plus nine others," Orlandi told BBC Sport. He's done even better than I expected and looks like he was born to play for Barcelona.

Karlsruher and St Pauli will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Karlsruher this season have the following results: 6W, 10D and 11L. Meanwhile St Pauli have 8W, 9D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Barring a stunning late development, Giroud will remain a Chelsea player until the end of the season after the Blues failed to bring in Dries Mertens from Napoli - or any other suitable alternative. Giroud, who missed the opening section of the season due to injury, has barely featured under Lampard who has Tammy Abraham as his clear first-choice striker and Michy Batshuayi as his understudy.
I met Max very early after I got the job and to have seen his journey back to full fitness and the way he's conducted himself, it's something he'll always have with him," Solskjaer said. He's been through something no one should have to go through but he's come through the other end. He's an inspiration to others.

The France forward's first league goal for 10 months was a fabulous strike. Giroud's emergence from the shadows gives manager Frank Lampard options, especially as Batshuayi is in such poor form and Tammy Abraham is still coming to terms with his first full season in the Premier League. Giroud must have been relieved to get on the score-sheet against Spurs, and that infernal contraption they call VAR didn't chalk off yet another perfectly worked goal as it did in midweek against Manchester United.
The visitors managed to put an end to five successive league defeats last time out as they saw off Rotherham with a 1-0 win, but that goal was just the third time they have managed to find the back of the net in their last six outings. While their offensive record is not as bad as their hosts, they know that they need to find the back of the net on a more regular occurrence if they are to pull themselves to safety.
The boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues, and a representative of world players' union Fifpro have also been invited and discussions will cover all domestic and European competitions, including the possible postponement of Euro 2020 by one year. The Italian Football Federation had previously said the Serie A season may not be completed and offered alternatives including play-offs, not having a champion for 2019-20 or declaring the current standings final.
“Bayer” is now a team that scores three or four goals in almost every meeting. The Germans can snatch the desired result in the last 10 minutes, as was the case with the Dortmund Borussia. Or as it was with “Union”, when it seemed that “Bayer” will lose the victory, but they managed to score in the end. And “Porto” is a team that is fighting for the championship. They have very little difference with Benfica. In addition, in a personal meeting, they beat the “eagles”. Most recently, an important victory was won over the club “Vitoria Guimaraes”.

If Pope and Ederson finish on the same number of clean sheets, the award will be shared for the first time since 2013-14 when Chelsea's Petr Cech and Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny were tied on 16 shutouts. Thanks for the memories Although there will be no supporters present, David Silva will be holding back the tears when he makes his 309th and final Premier League appearance for Manchester City. The former Spain midfielder, 34, is regarded as one of the club's greatest-ever players, a key figure in transforming City into a dominant domestic force over the past few years.

IFK Haninge has not been able to regain its best form after about 5 months of retirement since the end of the Swedish 3rd Division 2019. Taby FK lost both matches in a series of friendlies before the 2020 season. Specifically, coach Tino Katsoulakis' team lost 1-4 to IF Sylvia and lost 0-1 to FC Stockholm.
this is a game of wits that sees two presumably good teams square off. Tuchel `s man will be seeking to exact revenge on Dortmund for the trashing they got in Germany. Psg front line will be seeking to prove just how formidable they can be. Dortmund will be aiming to shock psg by defeating them both in Germany and in France and earn a well deserved champions league quarter final spot. This game is difficult to predict a straight winner but it is definitely a game that will see both teams wanting to score a number of goals hence I expect at least three goals .
We have always had quality up front - we had Fernando Torres, we had Luis Suarez - when we fell fell short in the league before, but that is not enough on its own. Is this title the start of a spell of Liverpool dominance? Big Zuu hopes so but he is not convinced. I think we are away from those times when teams could win three in a row like Manchester United did. I obviously hope we can go on to win it again and again but you can never count out City, because if they sort out their defence they still have one of the best attacks there is.
Lampard, the club's record goalscorer who took over as manager in the summer, but was not able to sign anyone new and has given plenty of youngsters a chance in the team. The Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced the ban, which had been imposed for breaching rules on signing young players. Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League and finished second in their Champions League group behind Valencia - conceding 33 goals in 22 games in those competitions so far.
This season will be used to find a team for next season, but hopefully we can speed this process up by getting more results," the 46-year-old added. We want to be a team that can go and dominate and break teams down. It has taken Liverpool a few years to get to that state and we need to keep on building because that's what we want to get to.
They see him as someone who gave absolutely everything to the cause. It's one of the classic clichés that he feels the badge. Bedoya commanded respect and scored some spectacular goals, but he feels he is only remembered for the red cards. For Santa Fe and Racing fans, he will be remembered as integral to ending their drought of titles at pretty big teams. Bedoya made 35 appearances for Colombia and played the full 90 minutes in the 2001 Copa America finalAfter Bedoya won the first of his three titles at Deportivo Cali in 1998 and recorded 14 red cards in the process, the drama was never far away.
Liverpool huffed and puffed against Everton, and we saw a few things that we suspected already. Takumi Minamino is a work in progress, the Reds miss Andy Robertson at left-back, and they can be short of a spark in attack when Mohamed Salah is absent. Salah will play in this game though, and that is one of the reasons I think Liverpool will win. I am expecting to see at least another 25% from the Reds, and even if they don't play well, I don't see Palace scoring.
This game is Wolves' 38th of the season after they started their campaign in the Europa League qualifiers in July and boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been pleased with how his squad have handled the extra workload. It's about the way they prepare themselves on a daily basis with the way they recover and compete, credit to all the players," he said. It's the most important game, the next one is always the most important.
Kasimpasa have a bad record on the road and Malatya have a terrible record in general. It's tough for a punter to choose between two struggling sides but we think that the visitors are better of a bad pair. Back Kasimpasa draw no bet.
Tottenham secured their place in next season's Europa League with a hard-fought draw at Crystal Palace. The result sees Jose Mourinho's side leapfrog into sixth place above Wolves, who lost at Chelsea. Harry Kane opened the scoring for Spurs, dispatching a low finish into the bottom left corner after collecting Giovani lo Celso's pass. However, Jeffrey Schlupp levelled for Palace with a close-range finish after some poor Tottenham marking at a corner.
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says he preferred the old format of the Spanish Super Cup and that the competition is only being held in Saudi Arabia because of the money on offer. The competition has been reformatted to include the two top in La Liga and the finalists in the Copa del Rey. It is normally played in August between the league and cup winners. The bottom line is football has become a business and as a business it looks for income," Valverde said.
In terms of going into meetings with staff, I've been involved and giving my opinion on different things. On his desire to become a manager, Rooney said: "Yes, of course. I've been around this game a long time, it's what I want to do and opportunities like this one to play and also have a foot in the other side of things will only benefit me. Although there remains uncertainty over where Rooney will play on the pitch, one aspect that has been confirmed is his controversial squad number.
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.
Theo Zagorakis (Greece) - 5 apps, 0 goals. Tournaments played in: 2004. Best finish: Winner (2004)You would have done well to predict the player of the tournament for 2004 before a ball was kicked. Function overcame fashion in Portugal as unfancied Greece pulled off another huge shock. Zagorakis - formerly of Leicester - was the general in midfield who oversaw a famous triumph. He's now a politician.

We’re confident that Gil Vicente will win on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The visitors arrive on the back of a real hammering at the hands of Braga, who themselves have not been at their best this season, so confidence is bound to be fragile, to say the least, while the hosts are unbeaten in their own backyard and will believe they should win Sunday’s match.

Paper Round’s view: Bournemouth are owned by a Russian billionaire, so it is a bit rich that they did not take this decision initially. However, if the government offers companies what is essentially free money, then it is hardly surprising clubs decide to take up that offer when they face such an uncertain future.
But it took 34 penalties before the game was finally decided by Taunton’s Jack Rice as he netted their 17th spotkick. In doing so they equalled the record set between Chelsea’s under-23 side and Oxford United in 2016 when the two clubs met in the EFL Trophy. Liverpool’s proposed Anfield expansion to reach 60,000 Liverpool have invited local residents to attend a public consultation event as they move forward with plans to increase Anfield’s capacity from 54,074 to 60,000.
As a precaution, the management decided to appoint a temporary replacement, defending their fans, players and colleagues at the club. It said that Istvan Pisont would take charge of Saturday's league match against Diosgyori VTK. The 62-year-old Sannino, who was appointed in May, has coached more than a dozen clubs in Italy as well as Watford in England and Levadiakos in Greece.
That’s nobody’s idea of fun. Well, except Diego Simeone’s. IN OTHER NEWS Manchester City scored their 500th goal under Pep Guardiola’s management. That’s 500 goals in three and a bit years, well over 100 a year. Not bad going, on the whole. What a pity that they will all be overshadowed by that time he waved two fingers at the fourth official.
Furthermore, both teams are likely to make it very difficult for the other to break them down. Wolfsburg have currently got the Bundesliga's best defensive record. They have conceded just 13 goals in their 13 games. They have also conceded just five goals in their six Bundesliga away games.
Racing began this group with a win and can make it two out of two. Their current form is good and they are hard to beat at home. The visitors lost their first group match and are poor on their travels. It's even worse in this competition and Racing can extend that poor run. Go for Racing to win and be ahead at both half and full time.

Everything was in place for a move, but suddenly news of a supposed offer of around €40m (£36m) for James Rodriguez came to the club's notice. How could selling Rodriguez for that sort of money, while simultaneously giving away Gareth Bale, be justified they thought?Real Madrid immediately demanded a fee for the player and that was the end of that. From that moment on the Chinese club would not even accept any calls from any of the parties involved in the negotiation.

Not even the most optimistic of Central Cordoba fans could have imagined the 2019 the side have had. After over four decades in the lower divisions of Argentine football, the club returned to the top flight and now staggeringly have the chance to secure their first ever major title, as well as a place in the Copa Libertadores in case of victory.
Odds are excellent to be taking the over 3.5 goals in this one I mean just take a look at the last 5 games played by OFI Crete here at PAOK as they lost big everytime, conceding 3 goals once, 4 goals three times and even 5 goals once, they lost just one month ago with 3-0 the first leg in the Greek Cup at home with PAOK, and away from home in the return leg despite neither team really pushing too much as the fate of the tie was settled already there were easily 5 goals scored from not so many scoring chances as PAOK won that return leg 4-1 at home.
The club said that the comments were sarcastic and aimed at Balotelli's critics. Last week, all 20 Serie A clubs signed an open letter saying Italian football had to do more to fight racism. Earlier this year, Englishman Smalling, who has joined Roma on loan from Manchester United, backed a campaign for players to boycott social media for 24 hours in a protest against racism.
Belarussian top league. Team Shakhtyor Soligorsk will host team Ruh form Brest. Hosts are favorites in this game. They did 4 wins and draw at the last 5 games played. Their rivals did 3 draws and 2 defeats at the last 5 games played. But my bet will be on Ruh Brest. Ruh made some important wins in this season. They have won with teams Dinamo Minsk, Neman and FC Minsk. Brest have high quality players. It is very real to see surprise in this match ! I recommend to try this bet with me ! And is possible to check this bet in real !
