This will be very interesting match in elite Australian league and I will bet on goals. So, I'm not sure just in over 2,5 but in even more goals and I will take over 3,5. Reason, of course is form of rivals. Adelaide United is playing very offensive in last period and team is, for example, in last three matches played 1-5, 2-1 and 5-2. Newcastle Jets, on the other side, is playing on similar level and they are in last round beat Perth Glory at home 2-1. We will see what will happen, but for me, over is here really ok.
After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made. Until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs. Rooney said he would never have been able to forgive the authorities if anyone in his family had contracted the virus through him. The rest of sport — tennis, Formula One, rugby, golf, football in other countries — was closing down and we were being told to carry on," he added.
UD Logrones are on top of the league after 19 matches and have lost only 2 games so far this season. At home UD Logrones have been undefeated since the September with a 7-2-0 record in the last 9 league games. In 6 of the 9 games they scored 3 or more goals.
He looks set to steer Leicester into the Champions League next decade having been an integral part of their Premier League title-winning season. You get to a point where you’re questioning your own XI and asking why on earth you’ve left the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Sergio Aguero out, but along with Kante for Chelsea, one-season wonder Harry Kane deserved the nod, as did Vincent Kompany for leading City during their greatest era to date.
We all know and agree that the diversity of coaches and managers must increase and this placement scheme represents a positive step. There are lots of roles in the academy system, all the way through to first team, and young coaches can slot in at different points to begin that journey. We need to have the right structures and people in place to develop their careers. I know from my own experiences the value of strong support throughout the coaching journey.
But the game was extremely open, with play racing from end to end, and Greg Docherty warmed the palms of McCrorie with a shot that looked destined for the net. Midway through the opening half, Hibs were handed a golden chance to take the lead. A Boyle cross came off the outstretched arm of Taylor-Sinclair, with Alan Newlands immediately pointing to the spot.
Quite an effort. Liverpool's Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Salah celebrates with teammates after he scoring his team's first goal during the English Premier League football match between Liverpool and Bournemouth at Anfield in Liverpool, north west England on March 7, 2020Getty Images PLAYER RATINGS Liverpool: Adrian 5; Alexander-Arnold 7, Van Dijk 7, Gomez 6, Milner 7; Wijnaldum 6, Oxlade-Chamberlain 7, Fabinho 6; Salah 8, Firmino 5, Mane 7.
Emmen have failed to score in 31% of their matches this season and Sparta have failed to score in 25% of their Eredivisie games, making it very possible that one or both teams will fail to find the back of the net on Sunday. The form and performances of both teams heading into this weekends’ clash certainly suggest that a 0-0 draw could be on the cards as neither team is playing their best right now and both sides have failed to score in recent matches.
Luton chief executive Gary Sweet has warned the future of clubs "at every level" are at risk unless there is "a swift and material aid package" from the game's authorities to deal with the impact of Covid-19. Sweet has been a central figure in the Hatters' rise from non-league back to the Championship and, having experienced the issues involved in running a club at four levels of the English pyramid, is seriously concerned as the game's suspension heads into its second month.

Also, United should really be looking for a much more experienced player if they are wanting to sign someone who can make a difference in their shoddy defence. Read the full story Pep pens letter to Premier League over festive fixtures Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed he has written a letter to the Premier League to "voice his anger" at the decision to make his team play two matches in less than 48 hours during the festive period.
A second Celtic goal did feel inevitable, however, and when it did arrive it was the result of more slick passing - this time between Edouard and Christie - as the Frenchman slipped the ball beyond Lewis to ultimately secure the points. That may have been the case regardless but Aberdeen's chances of a second equaliser were greatly diminished by Cosgrove's dismissal. There was a time his sliding challenge on Ajer would have been deemed a good one, but in the modern game the speed and force of it caused Anderson to produce the red card.

We have to wait, this is a waiting game all the time, it is such a changing landscape and fluctuating on a day to day basis. This is just the start in some respects, whatever proposals are put there it is then open to debate and for comment and opinion to feed into that. If training is resumed before social distancing rules are relaxed, BBC Sport understands players will be tested for coronavirus twice a week and would be screened for symptoms every day.
Chaves vs FC Porto predictions for Sunday's match in the Taca da Liga.

Do not tell that to Sheffield United. The Blades were denied a clear goal when Villa keeper Nyland carried Norwood's free-kick behind the line. United's players were incredulous when the goal was not given, Oliver pointing to his watch to insist he had received no signal that the ball had crossed the line. It later became clear that he should have been alerted but was not and VAR was unable to intervene.
Brescia are 19th in the league with 15 points while Udinese are 15th with 24 points going to the game. While their bad run will be a key highlight, Brescia’s run up to the game will be the sacking of coach =10. Eugenio Corini earlier in the week after a poor start to 2020. Brescia have the worst home record in the league and go to this match winless in their last seven games.
It is clear that the issues surrounding Mansfield are far from an easy fix and given that the Stags are second from bottom in terms of points gained from their last eight games, it may take some time for them to come around. Although their hosts may not be the most in form side in the division, it is hard to look past them given the troubles of the opposition. However, the new manager bounce could kick in at any stage, so adding the safety net of the ‘Draw – No Bet’ clause looks to be a wise move to make.
Hapoel Ramat Gan is going to face Hapoel Afula. The hosts won only six matches of 14 at home in this season and they struggle so hard in the last weeks. Even that there was a pause they played weak in friendlies matches. Afula had not lost any of the last three matches on Ramat Gan's ground. They lost against them in 2016. After that, they usually won like 1:0. Today I see here a chance for Afula to pick three points or at least one. Both teams play on the similar level and there should not be any difference. I pick double chance here x2
Meanwhile, Tigres' aforementioned play-off defeat to Club America has them coming into this game desperate for revenge. The loss was a hugely disappointing one for the side and having drawn at home to San Luis in last weekend's Clausura opener, they come into Sunday's match desperate for a win and revenge over the hosts.
Both sides can still technically qualify for the knockout stages but it looks very unlikely. There is still plenty on the line here though with the winner of this tie being the most likely team to qualify for the last 32 of the Europa League. Lokomotiv Moscow currently hold the advantage, with a single goal scored being the difference between the two sides at this point.
LIVERPOOL, England, April 8 (Reuters) - Liverpool striker Sadio Mane has praised manager Juergen Klopp for his positivity as the club's players sit idle with the Premier League on hold and the team facing the prospect of missing out on a first championship triumph in 30 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed the future of the 2019/20 campaign in doubt, with Liverpool holding a remarkable 25-point lead at the top of the table, having won 27 of their 29 matches.
Substitute Theo Walcott scored an 87th-minute equaliser for Everton to nudge Aston Villa closer to relegation. Ezri Konsa's first Premier League goal looked to have earned struggling Villa a crucial win at Goodison Park, the former Brentford defender pouncing from close range after getting on the end of Conor Hourihane's free-kick. But Villa were denied a first away win since 1 January when Walcott headed the home side level despite Konsa's attempted goal-line clearance.
Fortuna have won just one of their eight Bundesliga away games this season. Their sole away win came in their first game of the season, versus Werder Bremen. They have failed to win each of their last seven Bundesliga away games. They have also lost five of their last seven Bundesliga away games.
Arsenal hope for rookie's revival Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal 0-0 Everton: 'Arteta knows the club well' - Ljungberg Mikel Arteta is an appointment from the opposite end of the managerial scale to Ancelotti - a fiercely driven, intelligent rookie as opposed to the battle-hardened experience of the Italian. Arteta has, however, learned from a coaching genius in Pep Guardiola during more than three seasons at Manchester City, where his influence has been acknowledged and he has reached the point where he wants to put his own expertise into practice.
This is one of the matches from Ukraine Youth League, where I hope that we can see plenty of goals, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, Shakhtar is excellent team with plenty of young and super-talented players who can beat almost all rivals in this league. I just hope that they can be on good level in this match, what is pretty real to expect. In last official duel against Dnipro 1 U21, they were more than good - they are beat this rival with even 4-0. Yes, I believe in similar scenario and this time.
As a professional whose contract expires on June 30, the crisis brings with it another dimension of uncertainty. So although there are reportedly five clubs interested in him, there is a catch. Coutinho is obviously behaving just like many parents are. Staying at home in Munich, the 27-year-old is currently spending the time with his wife Ainê, daughter Maria and son Philippe Jr.
So they will miss that and it does take away from a game without a shadow of a doubt. THE CARABAO CUP MUST NOT BE SCRAPPED IF NEXT SEASON STARTS LATER If you’re a club and you don’t want to be in the League Cup, you should resign from it if next season starts later. If it’s your club and you feel your poor little footballers are going to get tired, you pull them out.
But despite Mourinho impressing Sanllehi, the new Tottenham boss felt structure of Arsenal’s hierarchy didn’t appeal to him. Mourinho’s wish list Mourinho has wasted no time drawing up a list of possible transfer targets as he aims to catapult the North London club to the summit of the Premier League.
They begin the year with a home game against eighth placed Sheffield United, who are just the 26 points behind their opponents. Liverpool began matchweek 21 thirteen points clear of Leicester in second and with a game in hand, surely they can't mess this title challenge up. The Reds are stacking up some incredible statistics that just keep getting better and better.
Groningen have failed to score in two of their last three games and Emmen have failed to score in three of their last six games, and we have backed the pair to play out a goalless draw this weekend. Groningen are the favourites to win the game but have a midweek KNVB Beker tie against Utrecht to negotiate before they can fully concentrate of Sunday’s clash with Emmen and this is why we believe the visitors can take home a point from their trip to Groningen.
Gillingham haven't exactly been banging in the goals left, right and centre of late, but their recent home efforts against MK Dons point towards them doing well offensively on Sunday. In the betting, 'Gillingham to Score Over 1.5 Goals' catches the eye. Not only have Gillingham scored two or more in each of their three home games against bottom-six teams, but Rochdale have a shocking defensive record. Dale have conceded two or more in four of their last five, as well as in seven out of 11 on the road. They've also conceded the third-most shots on target away from home in League 1 this season, shipping an average of 5.73.
The 45,416 capacity Khalifa International Stadium - the home of Qatar's national team - will now host those matches. The priority is to ensure an enjoyable experience for all fans so it was decided to open the (Education City) stadium at a later date," FIFA said in a statement. Once it is officially opened next year, the Education City Stadium will become the third tournament‐ready venue ahead of the 2022 World Cup hosted by Qatar.
The visitors had talisman Lucas Ocampos sent off for a second booking in stoppage time but they still managed to grind out the victory to go third in the standings on 27 points after 14 games, unseating Atletico who drew 1-1 at Granada on Saturday. Julen Lopetegui's side are one point behind leaders Barcelona and second-placed Real Madrid, who beat Leganes and Real Sociedad respectively the previous day and who have a game in hand each.

Oxford marched into the top two last time out, as they got the better of AFC Wimbledon away from home, which as several teams have found out of late, isn't an overly easy thing to do. The U's have now won three on the bounce and are starting to look more and more like a side capable of winning promotion.
TALKING POINT Can Tottenham cope without Harry Kane? When the Spurs and England captain tore his hamstring on New Years’ Day it presented a worrying problem for club and country. The concern for Tottenham is the more immediate, and although they dominated proceedings at the Riverside they were largely forced into speculative efforts from distance for their attempts at goal.
It was a good team performance. They flung their bodies on the line and I love to see that. After almost 1,500 matches as a manager, can what may or may not be Warnock's final, final farewell - at the 16th club of a 40-year managerial career - save Boro from relegation to League One?Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long Things are looking up for Luton and their new/old boss Nathan JonesLooking up at the entire division from the foot of the table and with just three away wins in 19 Championship games, Luton Town fans were probably not feeling too optimistic prior to their day in Wales facing play-off chasing Swansea City.
Chelsea v SouthamptonSouthampton were very impressive in their win at relegation rivals Aston Villa, but so was Chelsea's performance to beat Tottenham. It was a huge win for Blues boss Frank Lampard for all sorts of reasons, not least because they had lost four of their previous five league games. Chelsea's problem this season has been consistency and Southampton will make things difficult for them but, after beating Spurs, I don't think they will follow that up by dropping points here.
Fletcher looks borderline offside but we have no VAR today, so he races onto the ball into the area and slots it through Gazzaniga to give Middlesbrough the lead! 61’ GOAL! Middlesbrough 1 Tottenham 1 (Lucas Moura 61) This is a superb equaliser by Tottenham. Lo Celso pushes forward from midfield with intent, and finds Aurier on the right wing.

GOAL! Leicester City 0-4 Liverpool. Alexander Arnold gets the goal his performance deserves with a low, first-time drive into the bottom corner. KEY STATS Each of Roberto Firmino's last nine goals for Liverpool in all competitions have come away from Anfield (including neutral venues). Since the start of last season, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has provided 20 assists in the Premier League, more than any other player.
I was convinced Mauricio Pochettino was not going to quit Tottenham but his future was not in his hands and, although I cannot understand many of the reasons behind his sacking, it has also felt like the end of the road for a while. And, in a way, it may feel like a liberation for him and his coaching staff. Pochettino is a fighter and wanted to continue fighting, but in the end whether he stayed or went was always going to depend on the club.
Benzema is Real's top scorer this season with 18 goals in all competitions, followed by Sergio Ramos and Rodrygo (both seven)Vinicius Junior has been playing well, but without scoring many goals, and with Bale in and out of the team, Real no longer carry the kind of individual attacking threat that they had when Cristiano Ronaldo was in their team and at his peak. Their best players recently have been the likes of Casemiro or Federico Valverde - who has been fantastic in central midfield, which will be such a key area on Wednesday.
