Scunthrope made an awful start to the season but things have certainly picked up of late, meaning a degree of confidence can be taken into Wednesday's match. Indeed, although they've lost their last two matches, said defeats are the visitors' only losses in 10 league matches and having won 3 of their last 4 away games, those taking to the pitch will be hungry to return to winning ways.
8 of Chelsea’s last 9 Premier League away games have seen both teams score. Chelsea’s 10 away games have averaged 4.2 goals per game with 9 featuring over 2.5 goals. Tammy Abraham has scored 12 league goals this season including a winner in the 2-1 win over Arsenal. The Seagulls welcome Frank Lampard’s Chelsea to the AMEX Stadium after an incredible 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend.
Maccabi Netanya is going to face Bnei Yehuda. The hosts of this clash are favorite and I expect them to pick up victory against Yehuda. The hosts won 6 of 14 games at home in this season and lost only one match in the last five played. Their opponents are the best team on away as they won 7 of 13 games and got five victories in a row. I expect a tough match for both sides as they play well in the defensive. I think we will not see many goals here that's why I pick under 2.5 goals as my bet
It looked like both sides would have to settle for a point but that late twist not only provides a huge morale lift to David Moyes' side, putting them three points clear of the relegation places, but also completed a good 24 hours for Manchester United in the race for Champions League places after their win at Brighton and third-placed Leicester City's loss at Everton. Moyes was angry when Soucek saw a first-half goal ruled out because Michail Antonio was adjudged to be offside and in Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's line of vision.

Daegu did not concede in their opening game away from home at Incheon as I happened to notice that they have a new coach starting with this season, a local coach from South Korea but keep the same creativity in attack through their Brazilian players well established at the club with whom they even played in the Asian Champions League last season if I remember right. They dominated the game with Incheon who defended with their teeth for the draw, but should find it easier scoring now at home with Pohang.

They were fortunate not to go behind early in the game as Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved a penalty from Maxi Gomez but Valencia went ahead after the interval through a Jordi Alba own goal and sealed victory with a late strike from Uruguayan Gomez. They still haven't interpreted what I have been telling them or perhaps I am not explaining things well.

Another very interesting match from Norway elite league and I will bet on goals, what is pretty real to expect. So, Alesund is team who is in this moment solid and they are team who is in the middle of the table, mostly - probably will be similar scenario and this season. Molde, on the other side is team who is champion and last season, they are played great football, what is also expect and this season. We will see what will happen and this time, but for me, goals are very real and in this case, I see, 2-2 or 2-1 for one of rivals.
Born in 1996 to a military father, Ndidi grew up in a Lagos barracks. Discipline and education were the priority while football was a passion his father frowned upon. Any time my dad went to work I would go and play," Ndidi said in an interview with BBC World Service. I would then get the signal that he was coming and go back to what I was doing, so he didn't know I'd been playing. I got caught several times but was still going.

Tranmere have struggled on the road, there's no two ways about that, but at home, Rovers have performed respectably, winning three, drawing four and losing three of their ten matches on their own patch. Last time out at this venue, Mellon's men recorded a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon, while they recorded a reasonable draw against Accrington prior to that. Moreover, after losing somewhat unjustly to Rochdale first time out, Tranmere went four unbeaten at this venue, beating the likes of Burton and drawing to Peterborough, while they've only lost twice since, losing two tough sides in Shrewsbury and league leaders Wycombe.
MAN OF THE MATCH Ismaila Sarr (Watford): The club's record signing was given a start today and put on a dazzling display. The Senegalese striker took both goals coolly and then set up Deeney instead of going for his hat-trick.

Chauvin has been charged with murder and the incident prompted mass protests across the world, including in the sporting arena.

First match in this league after corona break, and they should have one low scoring equal clash, since both teams did not play a lot of games in the meantime. Both are from the top, and will fight to return to the top tier. There should not be big difference in this clash, since host will have some home advance, but Jihlava is better positioned in the season at the moment.
Durmus scored four league goals - three winners and one equaliser. Obika has become a cult hero and it was he who got that critical goal against Hearts. The big fella is immortal in Paisley now. Ross County, in 10th, conceded 60 goals and will breathe a sigh of relief because they were in freefall, winning only two of their last 13 games. Hamilton Academical were two points behind in 11th but had at least had found form, beating Rangers and Kilmarnock in their final two games.
Pedro then latched on to a superb through ball by Ross Barkley to score his first league goal of the season as Frank Lampard's side took control. Everton had a chance to strike back five minutes later but top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin duffed a shot with only Kepa Arrizabalaga to beat. Two goals in the space of three minutes shortly after the break ended the game as a contest as Willian found the bottom corner with a low shot and Olivier Giroud continued his renaissance with a tap-in from a short corner.

But whether De Bruyne sees his future in Manchester or not is arguably just as important to City's success. The Belgian has enjoyed yet another stellar season, registering 16 assists and eight goals - the most of any player in the Premier League this campaign. He was close to his brilliant best tonight, driving forward effortlessly, exploiting space in the West Ham defence and midfield and generally causing mayhem.

Chinese football has been hit hard by the outbreak, with the start of the Chinese Super League pushed back indefinitely from its intended Feb. Fellaini, however, is the first player in the country's top flight to have returned a positive test for the virus. Brazilian striker Dori, who plays for second division side Meizhou Hakka, was confirmed as having the virus last week while Spain-based China international Wu Lei said he was recovering from the condition on Saturday.
In what could be a highly significant attempt to reassure its critics and break the deadlock over the country's controversial takeover of Newcastle United, the governing body insists it "understands the need to protect and respect intellectual property rights". It comes in the wake of a landmark report by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which concluded the country had failed to do enough to combat the issue in relation to the broadcaster beoutQ.
The dribble. One of the most exciting aspects of football. A good dribbler gets supporters off their seats as they glide past opponents. But there can be frustration too - all that build-up, no end product and a loud groan from the stands. Now a new 'ball-carrying' metric from data analysts Opta - which measures players running with the ball for at least five metres - means we not only know which players take on the most dribbles, but whose are the most effective too.
Manchester United's new signing Odion Ighalo is training away from the club this week as a precautionary measure following his arrival from China. United have decided on the policy because of the risk - albeit extremely slight - posed by coronavirus.

Given that they're going to be up against a hugely inexperienced and youthful Liverpool team, this is a massive opportunity for Villa to get a confidence-boosting win and propel themselves into the semi-finals.
But the Tangerines were left frustrated when, rather than opening talks with the League One club, Wellens chose to sign a new deal with Swindon instead. Blackpool didn't have much luck trying to lure Karl Robinson from Oxford United, either. However, while their search for a new gaffer has yet to reach a happy conclusion, their search for wins has been far more successful.
In that regard, it was the second-worst Saturday in Premier League history. The only Saturday afternoon to feature at least five games and witness fewer goals at the traditional 15:00 GMT time slot was on 24 November 2001, when three goals were scored in six games, three of which ended goalless. Only Newcastle, Southampton and Tottenham scored during the six games to kick off at 15:00 GMT on 24 November 2001It wasn't through a lack of trying, though, as Saturday was an incredibly wasteful day in the Premier League.
Sheffield United, missing the chance to make it two wins in a row after the 1-0 victory over Leicester City. At home, in the last few matches, they have been a different side though, with just one loss in five in the league. Norwich have two wins and two draws in the last five home league games, and have failed to score in just one of the five – against Liverpool.
Big stars don't [usually] do that. I've worked with other stars who believed they were bigger than Sergio when they weren't and they were more difficult to handle and to be with. It's not easy to find a guy with his status, his personality and what he's done in his career with his humility. He is a joy to work with. No replacement for David Silva Another long-serving City player, Spain midfielder David Silva, is set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
Benzema works harder than he is given credit for, on and off the pitch. You don't reach his levels of consistency without incredible fitness and without living your life right off the pitch. France exile now seems permanentDespite his record at club level putting him among Europe's elite, he remains conspicuous by his absence from the France squad. Benzema has netted more league goals than compatriots Antoine Griezmann and Alexandre Lacazette, as well as Olivier Giroud, who played all seven games at the 2018 World Cup but failed to score.
Gil Vicente are the newcomers at this league and so far are doing very good job for sure and it looks like they will survive this season as it is difficult to expect that Portimonense can catch them. They have few very important absences for this match too. Famalicao on the other hand are the most pleasant surprise. They are at the 5th spot and have a great chance for European League. Without any doubt they have much more quality as the proved himself against much bigger teams like Porto(2-1) , Sporting(3-1) and drawn with Benfica. Also when it comes to H2H, Gil Vicente won only once at the last 10 meetings between this two.
The last goal was a matter of managing the situation, but we didn't manage the situation and they snuck behind us and scored. Ok we didn't lift the trophy but this is a great opportunity to deal with big pressure moments and understand how to manage the big pressure moments, because that's the best way to learn.
Kamara then profited from Lumley's mistake to double his tally for the game and season, and it was nearly three for Fulham moments later as Knockaert hit the post in a rousing come-from-behind win for the Cottagers. Fulham manager Scott Parker on match-winner Kamara:"I'm really pleased for him. He has not been a problem since I stepped into the role.

The German's ability is there for all to see, but former manager Wenger suggested problems with his application was the reason for his struggles in England.
