Paris Saint Germain are again looking unstoppable in the league this season. They have won 14 of the 17 games so far and the gap between them and second placed Marseille is already 7 points. In the last weeks PSG is scoring easily with 16 goals in the last 4 games. At home PSG also have kept a clean sheet in the last 6.
Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw have been training at Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex in DubaiNewcastle: The Magpies saw their break reduced by the FA Cup replay at Oxford, although boss Steve Bruce says the players will still get "four or five days off and have a long weekend". Norwich: Players were given a few extra days off earlier this week but it's back to business as usual for Norwich as they prepare to host Liverpool a week on Saturday.
The main issue for Thursday's hosts now seems to be a lack of defensive solidity. They were at one point struggling for goals. They're now scoring with regularity, notching six in their last three, but they seemingly cannot stop teams at the other end. Southend have shipped nine in their last three and 14 in their last five. They've conceded no less than 20 in their last five at Roots Hall.
Guadalupe started season after the break with a win at home with 1-0 and a draw on the road but it is more than clear that they are much better team at home and obviously big favorite for the win tonight and that is also because on the other side Perez zeledon is in very bad form and they lost both games after the break, the only good thing for them is that they never listed in head to head on the road but I think that is going to change tonight and I Surely recommend this bet to anyone despite the odds
Verona’s survival bid is impressive, especially as manager Ivan Juric had a terrible top-flight record before this term. His spells with Genoa didn’t inspire much confidence, while we still question his ability to edge a big game like this. Verona's last win against Roma in Serie A was back in October 1996 – the Giallorossi have won 10 games and drawn five since, so Roma have an obvious advantage here.
Kean was handed a chance to impress Carlo Ancelotti as he made his first start since 21 January and he repaid his manager's faith with a goal and an overall positive display, with the striker one of the few home players willing to chase down lost causes and make attacking runs. Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton's 18-year-old defender, started for the second game in a row and once again did not look out of place, but too many other players put in distinctly average performances.
Zamalek is not been good in recent matches. They sit on 7th spot in the table and this is a team that again can get the season off to a high level and can challenge for the title. But I think it is clear that there is less chance that they will win the title, so now they will fight for that 2nd place on the table. As far as the away team are concerned, this is a team that is ranked 17th in the table and this is the team who has so far only registered 1 win in 10 rounds so I think that tells us a lot.
Rangers say they will produce evidence supporting their push for an independent investigation of the SPFL "well in advance of a general meeting". On Friday, Rangers announced they have requested a summit of all 42 clubs with a view to an inquiry into the resolution on ending the season. A probe, commissioned by the SPFL, into Dundee's belatedly decisive vote found "no evidence of impropriety". Rangers say a wide-ranging inquiry can help restore "confidence" in the SPFL.
Liverpool moved to within three wins of their first Premier League title by coming from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 at Anfield. The hosts fell behind in controversial circumstances, as Callum Wilson slotted home Jefferson Lerma's low cross after appearing to shove Joe Gomez in the build-up to the goal. But Mohamed Salah restored parity with a low finish and Sadio Mane latched on to Virgil van Dijk's perfectly weighted through-ball to complete the turnaround.
What have the players said?In a statement - posted by more than 150 top-flight players on social media - they said they were "collaborating together to create a voluntary initiative, separate to any other league and club conversation". The intention, they said, was to "try and help, along with so many others in the country, to make a real difference". The level of contributions has not been announced but the players said the initiative would help "quickly grant funds to the NHS frontline".
And as club captain, his importance extends beyond the pitch. He is extremely popular among his team-mates and is enjoying growing recognition from the fans; for all this, the club has assured him that they want to keep him where he is. The 34-year-old wants all this to be rewarded in a huge contract.
APOEL should really be capable of winning this encounter by at least 2 goals difference, Achnas is coming from the 2nd league level where they got promoted, but played in the first league two seasons ago back than in their last visit at APOEL they lost with no less than 7-1 that encounter, and in this start of the season they lost 4-0 away at Ol. Nicosia or 5-1 away at AEK Larnaca.
Match between Kalmar vs Jonkopings Sodra. My bet on this match is over 3.25 goals. I think that this match will may end 3:1. Last time, both team was playing very offensive. Kalmar play very well at home and they are favorite im this match. I think that they will may win this match 3:1 or 4:1. Home team to coming from a 4 - 1 win with Orebro. Kamar are very good at home and won 4 games from last 5 home games. I think that away team will may win score 1-2 goals. Jonkopings are play very bad on always.

CSA coach Argel Fucks resigned just hours after his team beat Cruzeiro 1-0 on Thursday night only to join Ceara soon after. Ceara's coach until Thursday was Adilson Batista.

The season got off to a difficult start for The Glory only winning one of their opening seven games and languishing near the foot of the table. Two wins, and two clean sheets, in a row have lifted the side to 5th in the table though and they’ve been able to show what they can really do.
MUMBAI, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Liverpool, who equalled the English top-flight record of 18 straight victories this week, are having a freak season and could remain unbeaten en route to winning the Premier League title, ex-England striker Alan Shearer said on Wednesday. Runaway leaders Liverpool have an incredible 22-point lead at the top of the table and need 12 points from 11 games to make sure of their first league crown in 30 years.
What are the financial implications? The costs could be huge, and there may be plenty of legal and other disagreements to come. Some contracts and agreements will have force majeure considerations written into them. Other decisions may be taken by votes. For others, the state might step in. There are relegation and European places to decide, as well as who win the Premier League.
At Euro 2016 - their first appearance at a European Championship - they enjoyed a fairytale run to the semi-finals and they will be hoping to at least replicate that next year. Wales beat Hungary 2-0 to qualify for Euro 2020Ronaldo will be a man on a missionFormer Iran striker Ali Daei holds the record for the most goals in men's international football with 109 - but there is a very realistic possibility Cristiano Ronaldo could surpass that tally at Euro 2020.
Recent matches between these two clubs have been tight, tense, and low-scoring with four of their last five encounters producing under 2.5 goals and three of the last four meetings ending 1-1 after ninety minutes. Vitoria Setubal are yet to lose at home in the Primeira Liga this season but have only won three of those eight matches, with the other five games all ending in stalemates. Sporting have performed better on the road than they have at home so far this season, securing four wins and two draws from their eight away games.

Not only are Sporting in a tough spot, they’ve got a few concerns head of this clash. The hosts have lost Luis Neto to injury, Yannick Bolasie to suspension and goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro remains a doubt. That’s caused problems at the back for Sporting, who haven’t exactly been solid in defence this season. They’ve conceded in 71% of their games, which is high for one of Portugal’s top sides.
MAN OF THE MATCH Jamaal Lascelles – The Newcastle captain, playing his first league game in over two months, was quietly immense. He read the game beautifully, organised everyone around him and oversaw a fine defensive performance.

Sassuolo and Brescia will face each other in the upcoming match in the Serie A. Sassuolo this season have the following results: 8W, 5D and 11L. Meanwhile Brescia have 4W, 4D and 17L.

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.

If we see their h2h matches lechia Gdansk never lost to this opponent in previous 5 seasons. Though They are average performer this season but still good enough for opponent like arka Gdynia. Atma is on very bad run they lost 13 out of their 26 matches. But sure they can score definitely in this game as lechia lapse in defense, their weakness are very highlighted this season. Even their last game was too affected with their bad defensive unit. So it will be a high scoring event where home team will come up as a winner and continue their winning streak. Good luck.
Goals were in short supply elsewhere, especially at Molineux where Wolverhampton Wanderers spurned a golden chance to move above Chelsea and into the top four as they were held 0-0 at home by relegation scrappers Brighton and Hove Albion. Brighton's point was all the more precious as the other sides in the relegation mire lost.
It would not surprise me at all if they went through the season undefeated just like Arsenal did (in 2003-04). Other clubs are in transition in terms of Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea. Leicester have had a brilliant, brilliant season in terms of where they were. But I don't think it's a negative on the standard of the Premier League at all.

Tottenham's Mourinho enjoyed his third win in a week since taking over from sacked Mauricio Pochettino with Dele Alli's brace and Moussa Sissoko putting them 3-0 ahead before two late goals by Harry Wilson took the gloss off the win. I felt the boys felt a bit tired after playing a high intensity game, but we had the chance to score the fourth goals, but then in the Premier League the game is always alive," Mourinho said.
This game is likely to provide a draw. Both sides are strong defensive players and will always try to defend to avoid conceding more goals. The home team is not all that a strong opponent unlike the away team with more attacking abilities and has a good record when it comes to winning most of it's games. The away team will put pressure on the home team but still both sides will be on a draw goal score record. Both sides are expected to score in this game. The expected score in this game is 0-0 or 1-1. With less than 4 goals in this game. The game will end levelled

The Premier League season might be on pause, but it has been a breakthrough campaign for several youngsters. Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka are already established in the top flight, but what about those who have only just announced themselves at the highest level?BBC Sport has selected a team of young players who have impressed in 2019-20 - we've only picked from players aged 21 or under at the start of the campaign.
He would fit into the system well, has pace and is a great crosser of the ball. Potentially Spurs may not qualify for the Champions League next season, so if they want to cash in on Harry Kane, he maybe the perfect replacement for Sergio Aguero. Claudio Bravo has won some silverware during his time at Etihad Stadium but a more reliable replacement is now required. Joining him through the exit door could be Otamendi, Angelino and possibly Stones.
He added: "I am absolutely delighted that our approach has been vindicated throughout, following an intense period of legal scrutiny and review. It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team. SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan confirmed that three members of the organisation's executive team were interviewed by the panel and thousands of pages of evidence were considered.

What the statistics do not show is Carroll's effectiveness in attack, Jetro Willems' consistency as an attacking full-back and Almiron's improvement. Carroll, who re-signed on a free transfer last summer, was brilliant as the main target man, alongside Joelinton. He did not find the target on Saturday but gave Mason Holgate and Michael Keane a tough workout at the back - particularly from set-pieces.

Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in 2012 and won the Premier League title in his first season"It was difficult to take. I was there when Fabregas left, [Samir] Nasri left, big players.

Chelsea had previously seen their bid rejected for the French forward in the January transfer window, but United had held interest in Dembele since last summer when Romelu Lukaku departed the club for Inter Milan. The Red Devils reportedly revisited a potential deal for Dembele after transfer target Erling Braut Haaland completed his transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
I really like the odds for the over bet here and I say this because they are like this because neither have been playing high scoring games since the restart but make no doubt about it Nurnberg despite drawing 3 games in a row they are quite weak in defense only drawing 2-2 away at Regensburg lately, they were also quite attacking minded away at St. Pauli but had the bad misfortune to receive a red card and ended up losing with 1-0 in the end.
