Two teams with same ambitions and with same quality and experience at their squad. Sepsi are having 3 draw in a row and are not showing that good performances lately for sure. They are solid as a hosts but today they will be without 3 key players. Voluntari on the other hand are in much more dangerous position but due to the fact that Sepsis are having some trouble with the squad and the fact that Voluntari lately are showing much more better performances and think this will be one even and though match, same as most of the match between this two are.

But then we go back to our own age group. What you learned from that little 15-20 minutes is priceless as a young academy player. Those moments start to add up and when you start training with them more regularly, you pick up more things, more things to learn from and that's how you become a first-team player. Who were the biggest influences on your career?I always try to narrow it down to the biggest impact, which was moving into a forward position.

Defending champions Rennes visit Saint-Etienne on Thursday, one night after PSG travel to Lyon to decide who will get the other place in the Stade de France grand finale. Shocked by Rennes last season, PSG are desperate for revenge. It has been another good season for Rennes. On course to successfully defend their trophy, they are set to qualify for the Champions League as things stand.
But when a team sheet is released, no one is piping up with 'we don’t have a chance, Jordan Henderson is starting'. You can bet they are saying it about Van Dijk. His presence has lifted those around him, transforming a defence from liability to sturdy as Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and even Dejan Lovren look assured playing second fiddle.
Still, Bournemouth did not improve, and another fine move allowed Saka to cross for Eddie Nketiah - who looks a natural goalscorer -and he slid home with ease. Bournemouth roused themselves in the closing stages of the half but were unable to create any clear-cut chances, likewise after the break when they at least competed.
Morocco are unbeaten in 16 matches in this competition. Morocco have scored 13 goals in five matches at this tournament. Mali have scored just three goals at this tournament. Mali are unbeaten in nine matches in this competition. Mali are going for their first African Nations Championships (CHAN) title against Morocco, who are looking to win a second straight title.
Tottenham, in eighth and four points off fifth, and Arsenal, five points off with a game in hand, will also fancy their chances of pinching the position. The battle at the bottom One side-effect of the enforced lack of matches over the past two months is that teams in poor form have a chance to reset. Aston Villa, in particular, were on a desperately poor run, with four successive defeats seeing them drop to second from bottom and two points from safety - although they have a game in hand over their rivals.

ROME, March 17 (Reuters) - Tuesday is decision day on soccer's European Championship but if the coronavirus epidemic forces it to be postponed until next year, as is widely expected, it will be only the first of many such calls to be made on the sport's ravaged calendar. European soccer's governing body UEFA is holding a teleconference call with all 55 member associations on Tuesday and, amid pressure to find time to complete the major domestic leagues that are all currently suspended, shifting the Euros back a year looks the most obvious first step.
Spurs came into the game on a three-match winning streak under new manager Jose Mourinho but failed to build on that momentum at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford put United ahead but a piece of technical brilliance from Alli brought Spurs level, only for a 49th-minute Rashford penalty to secure the three points for the hosts.
Krul's reaction - punching the post in frustration - summed up Norwich's performance and when Godfrey slid the ball past Krul and into his own net under no pressure at the back post, the final whistle could not come soon enough for the Canaries. For Norwich, the season could get worse still when they travel to Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City in their final game. Another clean sheet for PopeBurnley boss Sean Dyche said his team would be ready to face whatever came their way from a struggling Norwich side.
We’re confident that PSV will win-to-nil on Saturday and we have predicted a 3-0 final scoreline.

Only three ever-present sides have taken fewer points in that time, while under-fire managers Marco Silva and Unai Emery have both taken at least 10 points more. Spurs last lost more games in a calendar year in 2008, when they suffered 19 defeats during spells under Juande Ramos and Harry Redknapp. Redknapp and Waddle on Pochettino sackingAt the heart of it all has been a dismal away record - their last away league win came in January when they scraped an injury-time victory against a Fulham side destined for relegation.
Brian Rice's side has done relatively well in their home games, only losing a trio of games since the start of the season. They've also managed to score an average of 1.14 goals in their home ties, failing to score in just 29% of them and have kept a clean sheet just once.
But could this two-month break disrupt their momentum?Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach are all within six points of the champions. Statisticians Gracenote give Bayern an 84% chance of winning the league, with Dortmund - who face rivals Schalke on Saturday - on 8% and Leipzig on 7%. Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann - one of the world's most promising young managers - hopes his side can use that break to their advantage and treat the final nine games like a standalone tournament.
IN THE CHANNELS Your old pal James Richardson wanders back down the paths of nostalgia to Italy in the 1990s. Golazzo: The Football Italia Story really is a joy, from the very lo-fi beginnings of what became a cultural touchstone, to japes with Paul Ince and puns with Elvis Costello. Woof. HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: Juan Mata This really is a time for the good eggs to emphasise their status as good eggs, and in football there are fewer gooder eggs than Juan Mata, and there are fewer better ways to emphasise your status as a good egg by making a heartfelt promise to an adorable child who has gone viral on social media.
A win over Aston Villa will see them win this competition for the third year in a row. Their Premier League title may be almost lost but there's still the chance of a treble of EFL Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. That wouldn't be too bad a season!

I always felt he had that belief in this team that after each final we maybe did not win, we would come back stronger, or when we have won, he knows that we'll keep going. This is why it feels so good, to give something back to everyone, especially the Premier League title everyone has wanted for so long.

Nimes will host Nantes for this fixture of the league. Hosts have fallen into a very poor show in this season. Nimes is one of the worst teams in the league. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task in this game. I expect, Nimes will have to invest a great effort in this game. In any case, they will try to capitalize on their advantage at home field. Also, we have Nantes who's is more ambitious team in this season. True, Nantes is really better team at home. Also, Nantes is not very good team away from home. My pick - Nimes to win.

Their most realistic route back to the Champions League lies in Europe’s second-tier competition and by signing a solid centre-back and a dominant centre-midfielder, they could go all the way. However, it just seems like they will bring in a new Kim Kallstrom or Denis Suarez… so good luck to Mikel Arteta.
Charlton Athletic, 19th in the Championship standings, will be at home to host second placed West Bromwich Albion in the 27th round of matches in the league.
