Sivasspor is in a very important stage of the season and just one defeat will make them pay with a championship or tickets to the European arena next season. If before the 26th round, Sivasspor temporarily ranked in 4th place with 49 points and they are only 2 points behind the top teams (the group participating in the Champions League season 2020/21) is only 3 points. Looking at the current situation, coach R. Çalımbay's team desperately needed a victory in the late game of the 26th round, so they put pressure on the opponents in the championship race of the Turkish league.

It is easy to see where their issues are too, as Cambridge frequently struggle to find the back of the net and they have failed to score in 44% of their matches overall. With the hosts also failing to score in three of their last five outings, it is hard to imagine a situation where they are able to simply outscore the opposition.
All of VVV’s home games this season have produced over 2.5 goals, as have 83% of Twente’s away games, and we’re expecting more of the same this weekend which goes in line without prediction for a 2-1 away win. Twente have only kept clean sheets in 17% of their away games this season and we’re not expecting the visitors to keep one this weekend either, and the same goes for the hosts who are yet to keep a clean sheet home or away in the Eredivisie.
Injured Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe will miss the Champions League quarter-final with Atalanta on 12 August. Mbappe, 21, sustained an ankle injury during the French Cup final against Saint-Etienne on Friday, ruling him out for three weeks. He could return for the semi-finals on 18 August, if PSG qualify. Scans confirmed "an ankle sprain with damage to the external ligament," the club said.
So next summer, English clubs will be able to purchase players up until September 1. Still, it was a great two-year run. IN OTHER NEWS Everything seems to be going quite well for Petr Cech in his new pursuit. IN THE CHANNELS The, er, ‘windmill’ incident at Newcastle this week seems to have brought the best out of footballers on social media.
PSG and Denmark's Nadia Nadim – an Afghan refugee now represented by Team Visa – was able to work in a refugee camp this summer thanks to the sponsor's support and while Parris has not undertaken a similar project yet, she has been inspired by its success. Women have to feel empowered. They have to feel like they belong somewhere.
Alki Oroklini will host Ayia Napa for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have a chance to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. I believe, Ayia Napa are in better shape than their opponent. They have two consecutive victories. Also, Ayia Napa is the best team on the road. In any case, the visitors have the potential to fight for a positive result. Also, we have Alki Oroklini who's is not very good team in this season. Hosts have big fluctuations. In last game Alki Oroklini is won 2-0 against weak Ypsonas. My pick - Ayia Napa to win.
Sagadam is in very good form right now. They won back to back games. Also, they have good record in this ground against this team. But in this season, their away form is declining and they are on losing streak at present. I think they will be able to continue their recent success at this ground by getting at least a point. The hosts have a good record at home. They are unbeaten in five of the six home games. They have also found the net 8 times. Given that the Sagadam team having a problem in the back line and have been conceding goal we can expect that the hosts will earn a point.

This is a vital game for both clubs as they try to avoid relegation. Villa have escaped the bottom three and a win over Bournemouth would end a very successful week for them. Bournemouth can go above their opponents with a win in this game. They have had a miserable time but won their last home league game. A bet on over 2.5 goals to be scored in this game looks to be a winner with neither side that good at defending.
Lille are on a poor run going to this game and with a poor away record, they won’t have too many favors coming their way. PSG have a great run at home and have seven wins in eight matches against Lille. They have lost just once to Lille in 17 meetings and going by their run this season, we feel they will win this one too. The last six matches between these two have ended in over 2.5 goals and while we feel PSG will win this, perhaps going for over 2.5 goals will offer better odds.
However, in a fabulously contested Carabao Cup final it was Bravo who got the plaudits and was mobbed for his match-winning save. It's not easy when you're the understudy and not considered the best goalkeeper at the club. Nevertheless, Bravo proved his worth against Villa. I'm not entirely sure how Bravo got both hands to Bjorn Engels' header but he managed to push the Villa defender's effort against the post.

These two sides have both managed to move clear of the drop zone so far, but can they move further away from danger with a victory this weekend? Both Reading and Birmingham are focused on survival, but who will edge the meeting at the Madjeski?
Both of those wins came by a single goal and I think this one will be by an identical margin, to put even more distance between them and the teams at the bottom. Lawro's prediction: 1-0Tom's prediction: Palace are at home so I am backing them. Sheff Utd v NorwichNorwich have had a good week, beating Leicester in the league then getting past Tottenham in the FA Cup. It shows the Canaries are still fighting and will give them confidence too.
Fake fans in the living room and pubs in shedsIn Birmingham, fans did their best to make up for not being inside the ground. A couple of hardy souls braved the rain and set up a gazebo over a bench across the road from Villa Park, making do with at least being able to see the ground, while watching the action on a tablet. Anything to at least get a taste of the matchday-going experience. Those watching at home also did their best to replicate the experience of either watching the game at the ground, or with fellow supporters in the pub.
There are some very important decisions to be made. Oliver Giroud has been linked with a move to Antonio Conte's Inter MilanChelsea have been linked with a move for a striker with reports suggesting Oliver Giroud is set to leave. Speaking on the BBC Radio 5 live Euro Leagues podcast, Poyet added: "If Giroud leaves, probably he will bring someone in. I don't know how the staff are looking at Michy Batshuayi - if they are seeing him as a replacement if Tammy Abraham can't play.
The Belgium international, who after years of flirtation finally signed for Real from Chelsea for a joint-club record 100 million euros in June, raised eyebrows when he reported for pre-season training packing some extra weight. It's true, I cannot lie, if I'm on holiday, then I'm on holiday," Hazard told Belgian magazine Sport/Foot.
Leicester City boss Rodgers is winless in all 15 of his meetings with Chelsea as a manager (drawn eight, lost seven), the most times he has faced a single opponent without winning in his managerial career. This was the first time that Leicester had conceded a goal in this season's FA Cup, making them the last of the 123 sides to participate in the competition proper in 2019-20 to concede a goal. Chelsea have won five consecutive matches across all competitions, their best such winning run since they won seven in succession between September and October 2019.
Anthony Martial netted a brace while Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood scored before halftime as the hosts recovered from conceding an early goal to seal a comfortable win that lifted them to seventh with 28 points. Solskjaer took off 24-year-old Martial in the second half, denying him the chance to become the club's first Premier League hat-trick scorer since 2013, but the Norwegian said he did not want to risk an injury ahead of Saturday's game with Burnley.
They also found themselves knocked out of both the FA Cup and Champions League. Now they can concentrate on the league and somehow qualifying for Europe. Not getting into the Champions League would be a major step backwards for them. It wouldn’t do their finances any good either. Home form has seen them win eight out of 14 in the Premier League but two of the last four have been lost.
Melbourne return back from Asia so this will not be a easy trip to now go to Perth and expect to collect all 3 points. Perth have been a very good home team for most of this season and Melbourne have been a team struggling to score goal and win away from home. All the travel for Melbourne should cost them any chance of winning this match and the home team should take control and run them off their feet. Perth have a very strong team listed to play and seem good enough to go on and win the match

The visitors have slipped down to 17th in the table after a tough season, with their latest defeat pushing them close to the drop. They could do without this midweek cup clash to have a week on the training ground. However, Claudio Ranieri won’t be complaining if his side can claim a victory.
There were a lot of pieces that needed to come into place and at times that looked daunting," said Abbott, who in 2013 was named MLS president and deputy commissioner. But it was very clear to all of us that were involved in the startup that there was such a tremendous opportunity here that if we were able to assemble the right mix of all those different elements we ultimately would be successful.

The away have 22 goals and conceded 36 in their last 18 matches. I am taking Parma to win . Tip : 1
The story goes that Ferguson later amused himself by getting copies of all the match reports that never saw the light of day because they were desperately rewritten at the end of the game. The view that Ferguson messed up tactically is a little simplistic. There were plenty of times in his career when he tinkered too much but on this occasion he was placed in an invidious position by the absence of Keane and Scholes.

They haven't kept a single clean sheet in their last five matches with seven goals conceded along the way. They’ve only won one of these games with three draws and a loss pegging them back and keeping their lead at the top to just one point. Much of their success this season has come in this tremendous cup run with two recent wins over teams in the division above them seeing them to this point of the competition. They will be right up for this coming game but will have to really withstand the force of a PSG side on top of their game.
He made his debut in 1962, establishing a formidable central defensive partnership with Jack Charlton and going on to play 726 games in 15 years at the club. Only three men played more matches for Leeds United - Charlton, Billy Bremner and Paul Reaney. Hunter was a key component of Don Revie's side that won the First Division title in 1968-69 and 1973-74, the FA Cup in 1972, the League Cup in 1968 and the Inter Cities Fairs Cup (the forerunner of the Uefa Cup) in 1968 and 1971.
Both teams are fighting in the highest part of the table and have shown a quite good attack so far, having both scored more than a goal per match: Arsenal Sarandi has scored twice in the last 2 games, winning both of them, while Newell's Old Boys comes from 3 Over games in a row and has even scored 3 goals in its last away match vs Independiente. In the last clash played here between these teams, just one goal has been scored, but the previous 2 had gone Over, moreover 4 out of the last 5 clashes between them had gone Over too.
USM El Harrach will host Amal Bou Saada for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have the motivation to get the victory in this game. Of course, the will try to make a positive result. However, Harrach is worst team of the league. Hosts have less potential in attack. They have a vulnerable defense. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Amal Bou Saada who's is very average team in this season. The visitors have two consecutive losses. However, they have real chance to break the poor series against weak opponent. My pick - Amal Bou Saada to win.
It's something we talked about as academy managers and with the Premier League and EFL," said Brighton academy manager John Morling. In an ideal world, we would have made all these decisions a month or two months after coming back. But the legalities in terms of players' contracts meant that wasn't possible. It remains to be seen whether the four clubs in the semi-finals offer short-term contracts to players they intend to release.

Henderson sustained a hamstring injury during last week's Champions League first-leg defeat by Atletico Madrid, and Milner missed Monday's victory over West Ham with a muscle strain. Swiss forward Shaqiri has been on the sidelines since sustaining a calf issue last month. Hendo is running, Millie is running and even more.
The Premier League title race might be done and dusted but, with 11 games to go, at least one Champions League place is still up for grabs. It could be that fifth place gets you in if Manchester City's European ban is upheld," said BBC pundit Chris Sutton. But even if not and it is only the top four, then there is still a lot to play for and it is the only thing to be decided at the top of the table, with Liverpool so far ahead.
Ireland got off to a winning start last weekend and had by far the tougher game. Wales did what teams do against Italy in the Six Nations and had a comfortable victory. The Irish have a good home record against the Welsh and are confident after that win over Scotland. Home advantage is going to be key here and the tip is for an Irish win.
