Vincenzo Montella definitely has compromising evidence on Fiorentina bosses. There is no other way to explain his presence on the post of head coach of “violets” until now. “Fiorentina” cannot win the championship for five consecutive matches, dropping to 13th position in the standings. And ahead of the “purple” team meeting with the leading “Inter”. Will “nerazzurri” bring Montella to the long-awaited retirement for Fiorentina fans?
Modern-day football is a global industry worth billions of pounds in revenue, yet it still uses laws on goal sizes drawn up in the mid-19th century," Prof Adrian Bell from the University of Reading said.

Instead, manager Steven Gerrard was left frustrated at another red card for his side.
The team have scored in every game so far this season and scored twice or more in four of their seven games this term.

Real Madrid’s shocker in the cup game will dominate their ambitions in this game; they know they are one competition short in terms of the season’s ambitions and they will want to bounce back here. By their record against Osasuna, this looks like a very tough game for the home side. Osasuna have one win in the last seven league matches and just one win in the last five home matches. However, they have been scoring with some regularity and this may be the only positive they carry to the game. Real Madrid will go all out to attack as they seek to extend their lead in the league, as well as to recover from the midweek loss. This may leave spaces for Osasuna to exploit and we expect them to score. Here we are backing Real Madrid for a 3-1 win.
