The Portuguese side went to Scotland last week and lost the first leg of this last 32 tie 3-2. That wasn't the result they were expecting with just 23 minutes remaining of that game. Braga had taken a 2-0 lead but then a great Rangers comeback saw them return home with a one-goal deficit. That loss ended a unbeaten run of 13 games in the Europa League going back to February 2018.
Aizawl will host Chennai City for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. Both teams have highly variable results at the start of the new campaign. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. I believe, Aizawl is really better team at home. In any case, the hosts will try to make a positive result. In previous game Aizawl is won 1-2 against Indian Arrows (away) Also, we have Chennai City who's is not very good team away from home. Of course, this will not be an easy task. Also, in previous game Chennai City lost 3-1 against Minerva. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
Another match where we should not see much goals or this should be a match where nothing special happens. Both teams are fighting at the bottom at the league to avoid relegation and as this is a direct duel between two teams that can be relegated I don't think that any of the coaches will want to risk anything and will force too much as this is a high value match. Both teams are mostly playing tight and even matches this season and the same goals when they are playing each other.I don't see any winner here. All I see is one boring match.
Lampard expects Chelsea transfer decision 'soon' Chelsea may find out within days whether the transfer ban for two windows imposed on it by world soccer governing body FIFA has been lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, thinks manager Frank Lampard. They were sanctioned in February for breaching rules on the international transfer and registration of players under 18.
Almiron doubled the lead after a cheeky backheel from Joelinton, while Austria midfielder Valentino Lazaro bundled home the third from Saint-Maximin's cross before the Baggies hit back through Matt Phillips and substitute Kenneth Zohore. Reaction from Tuesday's FA Cup fifth round tiesNewcastle hung on and are just two wins away from the final after a strong performance confirmed their place in Wednesday's last-eight draw.
This match means a lot to both teams in terms of ambitions for Europe next season and as such we expect an all out attacking game. With the teams coming from wins in Round 36, it is expected they will want to add three more points and seeing that this has recently been a high scoring game, we can bet on an end to end clash. Both sides have scored in 10 of Spurs’ 18 home league games and the same is the case in seven of Leicester’s last 10 away league matches. With that in mind and what’s on offer for the two sides, we will go with both sides to score here and over 2.5 goals.

Some were prepared and OK with it; they could handle it. Brazilian left-back Maxwell was an example of that - someone who he played with at Ajax, Inter, Barcelona and PSG. When Zlatan had a go at Maxwell about something in a game or in training, he would just tell him where to go. Some other players were like shrinking violets and I felt for them. They were shaking in their boots when Zlatan had a go at them.
Falkenberg is going to face Hacken. The hosts of this clash are huge underdogs here but it will be the first leg of the new season in Sweden and everything is possible. The hosts were good at home in the previous season and I think that at this time they got even more chances to win against a team like Hacken. The visitors are obviously better team but no one knows how will they play in this match. I see a chance for this value pick for Falkenberg and the hosts can make a big surprise today. I pick Falkenberg to win this match
Game for the Portuguese Cup that will take place this Saturday with Academico Viseu facing Feirense on this match here. Both teams compete on the Segunda Liga in Portugal but Feirense should be able to get the win on this contest. Feirense was relegated from Primeira Liga last year but they are still a pretty good team while on the other side, Academico Viseu is a lower team that is fighting to avoid relegation this season and although they are playing at home, the value is definitely on the visitors to cover this Asian Handicap 0 as the best bet.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said his side went into half-time of Sunday's remarkable 4-1 win over Leicester with their survival hopes "as bleak as they could be". The Cherries were six points from safety in the as-it-stands table with just nine points remaining after a toothless 45 minutes which saw Jamie Vardy's goal give Leicester the lead and star defender Nathan Ake come off injured. But an incredible two-minute spell saw Howe's side take the lead and Leicester go down to 10 men, with striker Dominic Solanke finally scoring his first league goal for the club.
In a strongly worded statement last Tuesday, Levy confirmed Spurs were taking advantage of the Government’s furlough scheme in order to "protect jobs”, with those involved set to be paid 80 per cent of their wages through April and May. We shall all need to work together to ensure the impact of this crisis does not undermine the future stability of the club," the statement read.
Still, at least Maurizio Sarri knows what the problem is: If you’re reading, Maurizio, have you tried saying “please”? 1-0 to the Leeds One eye on Madrid. The other on Lyon. Which leaves the third eye to keep watch on events in Middlesbrough. It’s a spiritual business, keeping up with the football. And the big news from the Ironopolis is that Leeds, who are supposed to be doing that second-half-of-the-season implosion thing, won their second game in a row.
So is this fair? Does it have any semblance of sporting integrity? Of course not. A distorted nine-game mini league'The Premier League has been suspended since 13 March but is aiming to resume in June with most teams faced with nine fixtures left to fulfil. Germany's Bundesliga will return on 16 May and teams will use their own stadiums for their remaining fixtures. League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan has said the Premier League season could be cancelled if clubs do not agree to play at neutral venues.

But never underestimate how knowledgeable many football fans who devoutly follow their team are.

He's also attempting to rehabilitate Leigh Griffiths, not for just for Celtic's own good but, by extension, for the good of Scotland, who are crying out for the striker to be restored to full throttle.

Klopp says there is still "a lot of work to do" and Liverpool "want to win as many games as possible". It's nice to think about it but we are not champions yet and we know that," he added. We know we are close but close is not there. There are 27 points left for us and we will try everything to take them all. We are still not champions. We have to play football games and we have to win them. We don't want to stop winning after two games or whatever it is.
Crystal Palace won 2-0 in the earlier meeting between these two sides, making it four wins in five against Wolves. However, going to this game, they are in poor form, occasioned by a toothless attack and a very poor defence. Palace have not scored in five of their last six matches, and have conceded two or more in the process. On the other hand, Wolves have six clean sheets in their last seven home matches and have failed to score in just three of their 18 home games in the league. Palace have more worries in injuries and suspension of key players, which leaves Roy Hodgson with fewer options and playing an away game after three straight away losses, puts his side on the back foot. We will go with a 2-0 win for Wolves here.

Barcelona lost just three league matches throughout 2018/19 en route to securing their 26th La Liga title, so they will be bitterly disappointed to have registered the same amount of defeats already this term after just 12 games.

Richards anticipates another tense battle to the finish line with Liverpool just like last season. They have stabilised the team a lot. I think Klopp's a big part of that," Richards said. And what I like a lot about Liverpool is that they are pushing City to be greater. When you win things it's because normally someone's pushing you.
According to CONI, he is the first Olympic finalist in the world to die from the virus. The Italian athletics federation (FIDAL), which described him as "an extraordinarily talented athlete but, above all, a gentle person", said that Sabia's father had also died from COVID-19 a few days earlier. It's a tragedy within a tragedy," said FIDAL president Alfio Giomi in a statement.
UNDER PRESSURE But the prospect of La Liga clubs in Spain playing every second day was a non-starter for Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu. The scenario we are looking at now is to play a game or two before June 30 so we can end the season in July or August. We have no problems in doing that," he said on Tuesday.
All things considered, backing Santos on the Draw No Bet line looks like an appealing way to play and is something we're more than happy to do. They are the only side fully focused on the match and simply rampant on home soil, we think there's a chance of a minor upset here and think the hosts will be able to run out 2-1 winners.

Bournemouth have won just one of their past 19 games against top-flight opposition in the FA Cup (D4 L14), a 2-0 victory against Manchester United in January 1984 as a third-tier side. Arsenal have won nine of their past 10 away games in the FA Cup (L1), with the only exception being a 4-2 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the third round of the 2017-18 competition.
With seven subs - or a matchday squad of 18 - clubs are effectively able to offer players that are not a guaranteed start, but could be worth serious money, say £40m upwards, the guarantee of a spot in their matchday 18. Take for example Bernardo Silva, he was bought for £40 plus million in 2017, yet was not guaranteed a start for City – in his first season he started just 15 games, playing the full 90 in just three, despite being fully fit for the whole season.
This match has of recent meetings, stood out for its high scoring nature. Both teams have scored in the last seven meetings and four of those have ended in over 2.5 goals. Inter have scored two or more goals in their last 10 matches and nine of their last 10 have produced over 2.5 goals. Roma’s seven of the last eight matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The best bet here would thus easily be on the game to hit over 2.5 goals.
The Spaniard, who twice won the tournament when in charge of Barcelona but who has not got past the quarter-finals with City, added: "We have the chance to close the group stage. We have to do our best to go to Zagreb [for the last game] with the job done. City will be without back-up goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who was sent off in the 1-1 draw against Italian side Atalanta as defender Kyle Walker had to end the game in goal.

I have a lot of friends here and it is a huge club, so I can't wait to get going. Macclesfield-born Christiansen, who has won 31 England caps, was one of four Lionesses at Lyon along with Lucy Bronze, Nikita Parris and Alex Greenwood. However, damaged ankle ligaments while on international duty forced her to miss the Women's Champions League final win over Barcelona in May - their fourth consecutive title in the competition.
This title, without doubt, has been built on defensive foundations. Goals from everywhereThe team ethic is also reflected in the list of goalscorers, with 21 different players getting on the scoresheet over the league campaign - something never previously seen in La Liga. Back-up defender Eder Militao and rarely used winger Brahim Diaz are the only outfield players who haven't scored. In a way, this reflects badly on the team's forwards, none of whom have mustered more than three league goals except Karim Benzema.
The home side are getting a break from the survival fight this week, with the club aiming to build on their two home wins this campaign. They are approaching three months without a victory, which is bad news for the second-bottom team. They’re at risk of being cut adrift, as they’re five points shy of guaranteed safety as it stands.
