football match in Spain for the second division, Cadiz play at home against Alcorcon. In this match, I bet it will end in a draw. I think it's a good choice. Alcorcon are 11th with 44 points from 33 games. This is a game between a very good home team and a very good team on the road. Previous head to head match resulted in a 3 - 0 win to Alcorcon. I think we will see a draw here. everything is very tight and they only won 50% of their total games. Alcorcon is definitely not to be underestimated, they have only lost two games more than Cadiz so far.
The half looked destined to end without a goal, until Defoe latched on to a knock-on from Arfield. The striker controlled the ball and, with a crowd of County defenders around him, spun and fired the ball through a sea of bodies. Some might have expected to see Morelos introduced after a drab first half, but the Colombian began the second half on the bench and in his place Defoe continued to trouble the County defence.
The England international has become highly-sought after over the past two years, but the fact that he signed a contract extension until 2024 last season means that the Foxes can demand a huge fee for their full-back. A price tag of around £50 million would be fair in the current market, especially because the 23-year-old is home-grown and has become Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate's number one choice at left-back.

Unterhaching is going to face Waldhof Mannheim. The hosts of this match lost three of the last five matches. They draw against Zwickau in the previous match 2:2 and today they will play against a much better team. Mannheim was on the top of the league and they dropped down in the table because they failed to win three times in the last five matches. Waldhof is a much better team and I think that they will be able to win this match against Unterhaching. The visitors won 8 of 16 games on away and lost only once that's why I pick this bet
We had a lazy day, got up for breakfast and lunch, had a couple of hours of kip in the afternoon and got ready for the game. Once we got into the dressing room, you could see the tension and nerves. We realised that we were playing in the biggest game of our lives. I was a bit disappointed to not start but I never really thought I would, so I was just glad I was on the bench and could hopefully come on and sneak a goal.
Tottenham Failed 2-1 on Chelsea's pitch, which inflicted a painful blow on the race to Tottenham's Top 4 this season. That defeat caused the gap between them and the Blues to be reduced to 4 points and Tottenham let Man Utd take over 5th place on the table with 1 point less. Previously, Tottenham lost 1-0 to Leipzig at home in the first leg of the 1/8 Champions League and they had a lot of difficulties in the second leg. When Tottenham faces a blank season, Mourinho's army will surely focus on the Premier League in search of a ticket to the European Cup next season.
In Poland, Chrobry Glogow and Jastrzebie are expected to face one another for a Liga 1 match at Stadion Chrobry Glogow stadium, Glasgow city. Jastrzebie takes position 5 in the table with 37 points after playing 25 matches while Glogow takes position 14 with 30 points after playing 25 matches.
What can they do differently? Well, firstly they need to cut out the individual errors. They are there in every game at the moment, and they are costing them - with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris the latest culprit. Hugo Lloris got a touch to both of Marcel Sabitzer's goals but could not keep them out"But something bigger needs to change. It might be a short-term thing of turning around and saying 'sorry guys, we are going to have to play ugly for the next few weeks'.
POST! Liverpool's turn to hit the woodwork, with Salah's brilliant curling effort clipping the outside of the post and going behind for a goal kick. KEY STATS Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Salah has both scored and assisted in 14 different Premier League games, five more occasions than any other player in this period Only Arsenal, Leicester and Watford (all 5) have conceded more goals from the penalty spot in the PL this term than West Ham (4) Salah has been directly involved in six goals in five Premier League games against West Ham (5 goals, 1 assist).

I think this odds are more than excellent and of course, this will be my option for this bet - plenty of goals, or over 2,75. So, let's start from the home team and that is Granite, team who was very efficient in last period and I believe that they will continue that way and this time. 4-1, 1-2 and 2-2, they are played in last three matches, one in league, and two friendly games, and same can be said and for their rival today - Arsenal. Yes, this will be match who will be very efficient and with at least three goals.
He emerged after half-time heavily strapped and unable to take goal kicks. Jones would take advantage almost immediately after the injury by giving Leeds the lead, but Bonetti would have the last laugh, living up to his reputation as 'The Cat' by launching off one good leg to make a string of important saves. Fittingly, Bonetti - the foundation on which Chelsea’s first Cup final triumph was built and a revered figure in their history - collected the base of the trophy at its presentation.
Rakuten Monkeys had placed cardboard cut-outs of fans replete with face masks in the stands for the washed-out game on Saturday, while anyone entering the baseball stadiums had their temperatures checked. The fourth season of the Taiwan Football Premier League also got underway on Sunday with Tapei-based champions Tatung City FC 3-2 losing to their rivals from the southern city of Kaohsiung, Taipower, on the opening day.
Boohoo, Granada fans might mock console, for their club has never won the competition full stop. The closest they came to triumphing was a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona in the final of the 1959 edition. There's no chance that Barca will add to their haul or spoil the party for either team this season. That's because Athletic Club knocked them out in the semi-finals.

I think over the two or three-year period in the academy, he grew and changed his whole mentality. He was a flair player, he had to realise that if he was going to play in this position then people were going to kick him. He stood up to the fight and his progression over the past five or six years has been superb. When he was younger he tended not to take a kick too well but he has come on leaps and bounds and is a man now.

Barcelona have become only the second side to avoid defeat in 20 consecutive Champions League group stage games (won 14, drew six), after Real Madrid between 2012 and 2017 (30 matches). Inter boss Antonio Conte has failed to progress from the group stages in two of his four Champions League seasons as a manager (also in 2013-14 with Juventus). This was Barcelona's first win away at Inter in any European competition since September 1959 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final (4-2).
On taking the Betis job, Setien revealed in an interview with El Periodico that despite his love for football he didn't really understand it "until I saw the football of Johan Cruyff". It was with coaches like him when I began to get it," he continued. When to touch the ball, to pass, the spaces. I try to communicate to the players, to keep the ball and to run as little as possible after it. He added he would have had his little finger cut off to be given the chance to play for one of Cruyff's sides, "not because I wanted to be a Barcelona footballer, but rather because of the way they played because I could see just how much the footballers were enjoying themselves".
Five takeaways from the return of the BundesligaBut, so far, all fears have been proven wrong. Almost all Covid-19 tests from players and staff have come back negative. Dynamo Dresden have been the only team from the Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2 who had to quarantine because of multiple infections. The German Football League (DFL), which is responsible for operating the two divisions, did not panic about the situation in Dresden.
In order to deal with this situation, we have called for an urgent meeting with both the Premier League and the EFL to discuss how we might proceed going forward. Birmingham players who earn more than £6,000 per week have been asked to accept a 50% pay cut for the next four months by the club. Meanwhile, League Two Forest Green Rovers will use the government’s wage support scheme to keep paying staff.
Admittedly the gap is eight points, but Leicester are absolutely on the kind of form that, were Liverpool not at a historically great level right now, could win them the title. No one is laughing this time at statements of that nature. We know it’s been done before by this team. And the way they scored a late, late winner in a 2-1 win over Everton, only confirmed after a VAR review rejected the linesman’s decision that Kelechi Iheanacho was offside, certainly smacked of a team chasing English football’s biggest prize.
While Almeria are enjoying a pleasing campaign, Oviedo, who've challenged for a top-six place in recent seasons, are enduring a disappointing season. Thursday's visitors find themselves down in 17th position, just a single point above the dreaded drop-zone.

Juventus shockingly lost to Hellas Verona 2-1 as Milan fell to Inter Milan 4-2 after a second half capitulation. The two most successful Italian clubs face off hoping to bounce back and we expect a cracker here.

City are the only side they have visited in the competition without ever winning, but Chelsea will be hoping their switch in head coach from Nick Cushing to Alan Mahon could also mean a change in their fortunes. If they are to take the three points in Manchester, all eyes will be on number nine Beth England, who set a record by scoring in eight consecutive WSL appearances last time out.
Rangers 'in better shape' for title tiltNo point getting 'violin out' - GerrardSpeaking to former Anfield team-mate Jamie Carragher on The Greatest Game podcast, he said it would be "unbelievable".

Talbot had earned 41 points to Kilwinning Rangers' 53, but had no fewer than nine games in hand on their Ayrshire rivals, who had played 25 of their 30 league games. Glasgow side Pollok were second on 42 points from 22 games. But based on a forumla looking at points per game average for home and away fixtures, Talbot finish as league winners. Talbot's reward is that they get to compete in the Scottish Cup, a competition in which they reached the last 16 in 2019 after beating Championship side Ayr United.
The stories were so beautiful. But, yes, we are coming to the end. He added: "We had to make a logical decision. Maybe we are wrong, I do not know - there is never a perfect moment. Now the Champions League is still in sight, and the idea is to continue competing with them until the end of August. How it can be done is not yet clear. Both players' contracts are due to expire on 30 June. Ligue 1 was cancelled in April, but the Champions League is due to be completed in August with a mini-tournament behind closed doors.
It is of little secret that Europe’s premier competition is an obsession of both the club and its manager. Real, by contrast, are currently neck-and-neck with old foes Barcelona at the top of Liga. Guardiola will expect to improve on his already impressive record against Real, who are still mid-rebuild under Zinedine Zidane.
Defenders - Joe Gomez (Liverpool), David Luiz (Arsenal), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) Joe Gomez: It's almost inconceivable to have a Team of the Week without a Liverpool player in it these days, such is their dominance in the Premier League. However, I can't help feeling the mighty Reds are only doing just enough to win games. That's not a criticism by the way, but a compliment. Joe Gomez is back in his favourite position and looking tremendous again.
Norwich were praised for their attacking intent early in the season, but unfortunately for the Canaries this has rarely translated into positive results. They have lost 12 of their 18 Premier League matches so far, and the 37 goals they have conceded makes them the joint worst defensive side in the top flight.

But even when Spurs were leading 2-0, the Clarets were generously allowed chances to get a foothold in the game. Striker Chris Wood saw his follow-up to Brady's header, which hit the underside of the bar and then the left-hand post, blocked by Davinson Sanchez, while Jay Rodriguez perhaps should have converted one of two close-range headers. Ultimately their inability to take these chances did not cost them - it was a lack of the defensive discipline which has served them so well under manager Sean Dyche.
Which is as close as an august body such as IFAB will ever get to writing: “For God’s sake, England, there’s a pitchside monitor right there. Use the bloody thing next time!” In practical terms, the law has been strengthened slightly; the word “often” has been removed, and it now reads: “where a reviewable incident is subjective, the expectation is that the referee will undertake an ‘on-field review’.
The German also missed the FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury with his first-team squad "respecting" the inaugural Premier League break. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has also been highly critical of the fixture congestion saying "a year of 400 days" was needed to fulfil all the games. The Spaniard has suggested removing FA Cup replays or scrapping the Carabao Cup entirely. Wolves' goalless draw against Leicester City on Friday night was their 42nd game of the season and they will play at least 56 matches and a maximum of 63 depending on their progress in the Europa League.
The question is existential. With contracts to honour, or new ones to negotiate, and in some cases deferred wages to cover, how do you survive when you're spending way more than you earn?In the Premiership, gate receipts accounted for 43% of income in 2018 according to Uefa's latest Club Licensing Benchmark report. That is almost three times higher than the European average. Add in the cash from corporate hospitality, and supporters spending money inside the stadium, and it's a business model heavily weighted towards the paying punter.
Looking at the head-to-head record in recent years, Athletic Bilbao is not a competitor that can cause difficulties for Atletico Madrid. Specifically, the Basque team lost 7 and only got 1 match in 9 confrontations since the 2015/16 season.
In Scottish football, even a fleeting European campaign can seem like a decade. Even this summer, signs of the breaking of a new dawn took a while to emerge. Kilmarnock had waited 18 years to be back in Europe but it took just a week for them to get turfed out by Welsh part-timers Connah's Quay Nomads. Aberdeen, now regulars in European competition, were hammered 4-0 by Croatia's Rijeka, the second leg being played out at a dispirited and half-empty Pittodrie.
