Graafschap and Maastricht will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Graafschap this season have the following results: 11W, 10D and 1L. Meanwhile Maastricht have 5W, 6D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We hope Scotty will be back as soon as possible," Solskjaer added. Maybe Villa, maybe Spurs, hopefully for Sunday. The beauty we have with Paul is that he can play in so many roles. He can play in a [midfield] two, he can play in a three and he can play as a No. Jesse [Lingard] is also coming back to his best.
The hosts score an average of 1.38 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.50 goals while the visitors score an average of 1.29 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.71 goals, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair this weekend. 88% of Maritimo’s home games have produced over 1.5 goals and the same can be said for all of Guimaraes’ away games, which points towards at least two goals being scored in Sunday’s clash.
When football is being played behind closed doors, being on the other side of that door is the next best thing, right?Danish Superliga leaders FC Midtjylland think so. So much so, that when the league eventually resumes with games being played in empty stadiums, they have come up with an ingenious idea to ensure their fans are as close as possible to the action - while also remaining at a safe distance.
Burnley have one away win in seven matches. Burnley have scored in nine of their last 11 matches. Tottenham have failed to score in just one of eight home league matches. Burnley have one win over Tottenham in the last 10 meetings. Tottenham are unbeaten in five home league matches. Tottenham Hotspur will be playing their third home match in four outings when they host Burnley in the 16th round of matches this Saturday.
Celtic have been fined 16,000 euros (£13,375) by Uefa for "setting off fireworks" during last month's Europa League win over Lazio. The governing body have also handed out fines of 2,500 and 6,750 euros to the Serie A club for pyrotechnics and "throwing of objects", respectively. The Scottish champions won the match in Rome 2-1 and will play Copenhagen in the last 32 of the competition. Lazio were eliminated at the group stage after finishing third in Group E.
Maybe we should give the 19-year-old a bit of time before plotting his transfer to Real Madrid. Read the full story Aubameyang contract talks with Arsenal hit a halt Arsenal's contract talks with club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have stalled, according to the Sun. The Gunners' star striker will be entering the final year of his contract this summer, leaving the north London club in a stressful situation if he were to decide not to extend his current deal.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under huge pressure as he is the favorite coach right now to be sacked. He has been winless in his last 2 games as has lost both 2 games by 2 goals to nil. One was against Liverpool which can be understood but last game was against Burnley.
Belgian league delay ratifying decision Belgium's professional soccer league has delayed by more than a week the planned ratification of its decision to cancel the rest of the season, it announced on Thursday. The Pro League’s board last week called time on the rest of the suspended season, citing health concerns and financial woes in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has hit Belgium hard and taken more than 2,500 lives.
West Bromwich Albion go to this match unbeaten in 14 and with nine wins in their last 15 matches. They have failed to score in just one of their last 15 matches. That match they failed to score in (against Leeds United) remains their only loss in the season. While West Bromwich Albion have done well so far in the season, they do not boast the best defence in the Championship.
The hosts may be 12th, but they sit just three points shy of the playoffs, with only five points between these two in the table. While Preston are flying high, they have just eight points from 10 trips as they prepare to meet a Cardiff side who have won 70% of their home games. The hosts are third in the home table as a result, while this seems like the perfect game for them.
While the hosts poured forward after the break and had 15 shots on goal to Palace's six, goalkeeper Vicente Guaita was rarely troubled by some errant finishing. And Hodgson's landmark day could have ended even more satisfactorily - with Wilfried Zaha remarkably prodding a right-foot effort against the left post late on with the Brighton goal completely unguarded. Brighton's challenging runWhile Brighton racked up 24 shots against Crystal Palace, their best-ever total in a Premier League game, that only served to underline another performance that brought a distinct lack of cutting edge.
Having that in mind and with the extra rest, some teams may well have changed their objectives now. Athletic Bilbao, for example, will have had their minds firmly focused on the final of the Copa del Rey but that has now been postponed until next season, meaning that their focus now will be solely and exclusively on the league. Teams fighting for relegation might see this new football as a chance to climb on the table.
We'll look at the best Premier League reaction from last night's matches in due course. But could this be the day Everton dismiss Marco Silva? A 5-2 defeat at Liverpool has left them in the bottom three. An eighth defeat in 11 games. BBC Sport claims he faces the sack, with Sky Sports News adding that David Moyes is in line for a Goodison Park return.
Did you know? Only Matt Le Tissier (seven) has scored more direct free-kick goals for Southampton in the Premier League than Ward-Prowse (five). Grealish: After the attention paid to Jack Grealish by Manchester United, I think he is entitled to danger money! I can't remember when a team have inflicted so many tackles on a single player. I suppose Grealish should take that as a compliment. The Aston Villa captain scored a wonderful goal, had a fabulous game at Old Trafford and is precisely the sort of player United need to bolster their prospects.
Spurs are also said to be interested in Piatek, but hesitant to meet the £30m asking price. Video - Liverpool make shock move for Napoli man - Euro Papers01:14 Paper Round's view: Piatek's future will be speculated right until the very second the window closes, unless of course he moves beforehand. He is clearly not the first-choice for either Spurs or Chelsea, so the question will be whether either side settles for the Polish international, or if they wait for the summer to make a permanent signing.
Nubel is serving a four-match ban after being sent off for a chest-high tackle on Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Mijat Gacinovic on 15 December. He has made 35 appearances in Germany's top flight and could be a long-term successor to Manuel Neuer, who has been at Bayern since 2011. Neuer also joined from Schalke and has gone on to make 233 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern, helping them win the league seven times and the Champions League in 2013.

Indeed, Palmeiras were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores by Gremio at the quarter final stage and some 16 points behind Flamengo in the table, it's clear they've been well short of the required standard. Having now failed to win any of their last 4 games, losing the last 2, it's clear Palmeiras' minds are now elsewhere and all concerned just want 2019 to come to a close.

They were better in the second half but there's still no way that they could say they deserved to go through and they did not really even have a proper go at City. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Newcastle United 0-2 Manchester City highlights Staying up was the aim for the season, though, and they probably need one more point to be sure of doing that. I think they will get it on Wednesday.
Diego Demme and Dries Mertens struck in the final 10 minutes as Napoli continued their mini-revival under fiery coach Gennaro Gattuso with a third successive win in all competitions. Napoli raced to a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes as Arkadiusz Milik headed in to finish off a slick passing move and Eljif Elmas turned the ball in at the far post from a corner for his first Serie A goal, the North Macedonian crying with emotion as he celebrated.
The 25-year-old damaged his cartilage and lateral meniscus in a challenge with Brighton & Hove Albion's Adam Webster and had surgery in September but is now back training on grass on his own. Third-placed City, who failed to replace Vincent Kompany in the close season, have struggled during Laporte's absence with fellow central defender John Stones also battling injuries, and the side are 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.

We never give up. The team is always there, that is my feeling," Guardiola told reporters. You (the media) analyse the result. Of course, it's not good for us. I know it doesn't count but I have to analyse the performance. The performance was good. City will have a chance to get back on track when they visit Burnley on Tuesday before rivals Manchester United head for the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Match statsCluj require a draw to guarantee their place in the knockout stages; they have never previously progressed from the group stage of a Champions League or Europa League campaign. This is the fourth meeting between Cluj and Celtic in all competitions this season. Celtic won the reverse Europa League fixture 2-0, while Cluj won 4-3 away after a 1-1 home draw in Champions League qualifying back in August.
La Liga organisers are aiming for a June restart to the season, which was halted by the coronavirus crisis, as clubs return to training this week. Players from the top two divisions will train individually after an agreement with Spain's sports and health authorities that guaranteed the safety of both players and staff. Players must undergo test before they can return to training facilities. Football in Spain was suspended indefinitely in March.
Overall, Chilwell has not done too badly this season and that's why other clubs are still interested. Last season was good for him and he made his England debut in the friendly win over Switzerland at the King Power Stadium. It is massive when you become a senior international. It definitely adds pressure. We saw it with Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli as well. When you first come on the scene, you are young, exciting and nobody knows much about you.
Meanwhile, Wigan have failed to win their last 11 games. That has taken them into the bottom three, with relegation a real concern for the Latics. They did get a point against Blackburn on Monday night, but will that be the start of a revival for the club, or are they going to fail again in this perfect chance to turn around their season?
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.
United are in the thick of it, and I think they will push on here. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Big Zuu's prediction: For Brighton not to lose at Leicester shows there is something going on with them - they played well in that game. But United are in incredible form, so I've got to go with them. Maybe Brighton will score first, but United will come back at them. Sometimes they need that kick up the backside to get going.
Gorodeya will host Dinamo Minsk for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good at the start of the new campaign. Also, both teams are currently bottom of the table. Nevertheless, I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Dinamo Minsk is very ambitious team in this league. In any case, they have the motivation to change their positions. Also, we have Gorodeya who's is modest team in the league. The hosts have less potential. I think, they have a very difficult task in this game. So, I expect, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
To the European market it appears as Pogba will be sensationally expensive and still with an unclear role. It would take a manager willing to go beyond the player's flexibility and above all else risk building a midfield that depends on Pogba's function in a certain position, not a midfield where Pogba has to do everything.
Former Lionesses forward Lianne Sanderson told the BBC the performance "wasn't good enough" and the team have "gone backwards," while ex-defender Alex Scott added they "are not in the same bracket as the USA".
