After going seven games without a win, West Brom have now won three on the bounce, and it’s good to see their boing boing principles being applied at an ever-more granular level. IN OTHER NEWS Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies are on holiday in New York. And they are looking tremendous. RETRO CORNER As Liverpool rumble on, comparisons are being drawn with Manchester United’s treble-winning side of 1999.
We will experience a lot less transfers this summer because many managers will just want to be competitive - managers will first be trying to simply put together a competitive squad. This will mean more short contracts will be issued to bridge the time until the [January] transfer window, which may go back to normal.
Bale's commitment to the 13-times European champions came under the microscope last month after he helped his nation qualify for Euro 2020 and then joined his team mates dancing alongside a banner saying 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order'. He was booed by real fans during last month's match against Real Sociedad.
We can't use excuses, we still have quality on the pitch. We are missing good players but that happens. The players coming in have to step up and we haven't done that today. We apologise to the fans, to go out and lose like that, they deserve better. We have to fight. We can't be in the position we are in in the league, we can't hide.
While not commenting on those decisions, Martin did express some concern about the schedule of NIFL's top three divisions coming out of sync with the junior leagues. That is something we have to discuss with all parties and it [an overlap of seasons] is a concern. There are other issues such as registration of players that need to be taken into consideration," he added. Coming out of Covid-19 will be a brand new opportunity and hopefully a bright new dawn.
Mbao will host Simba for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Simba is the best team of the league. The visitors have a great attack. They have a solid defense. Simba are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to make a positive result in this game. Also, we have Mbao who's is very average team in this league. True, Mbao are in poor shape. They are more vulnerable team in the last matches. I think, the hosts have little chance to win. Maybe this is - draw..
Guadeloupe's good streak is broken. The team remained unbeaten in 6 games, but on the last match day they were defeated at the Municipal. Guadeloupe is sixth in the standings and collected a total number of 28 points. Alajuelense has also lost only one of the last 7 games (4-2-1) and got a point against leaders Saprissa on the last matchday, but the team is still 8 points behind the leaders, but can shorten it to 5 here. Alajuelense have been victorious in Guadalupe in recent years, but things will take turn here. Guadalupe playing at home can surprise because they have 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 home games.
Valenciennes will be playing with the away team. Guingamp and this two team looking g at they last games they have not given an over of 3.5 total goals in their last 4 meeting and so this makes us to predict on this game with that market
Defenders - Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United), Mason Holgate (Everton), Victor Lindelof (Manchester United) Aaron Wan-Bissaka: I've been banging on about Aaron Wan-Bissaka for nearly two years now. I saw him play for Crystal Palace against Fulham at Craven Cottage, and Roy Hodgson didn't want to talk about the player after the game for fear of attracting too much attention to the lad. I also said he was a Manchester United player if ever I saw one.
Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne City will face each other in the upcoming match in the A league. Western Sydney Wanderers this season have the following results: 3W, 1D and 1L. Meanwhile Melbourne City have 4W, 1D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
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
Home side does not have big intention to play Cup with the full lineup and the top power in the team, especially at this time, when there could be some transfers and possibly change in the roster. Olympiakos is back in the top tier and they play good, with the tough performance in the defensive line.
Naestved had a good resumption of the season with 4 points from 3 matches. Quite well record. But still the team with 22 points is in relegation zone. The team won the last home game. Vendsyssel got 10 points more and is in the mid table with a good away run, the team also got 4 points after the restart. Clear advantage for the visitor that has been able to prove to be superior this season, they are two of the teams where we can see that their matches produce few goals on average, so my bet is on draw. Because it is going to be a cagey affair.
Watford boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation as they secured only their second Premier League win this term against a disappointing Manchester United team at Vicarage Road. The result sees the Hornets move within six points of safety and level on points with Norwich in 19th, while United remain eighth. David de Gea's error gifted Watford their opening goal, with Ismaila Sarr's mishit shot bouncing through his arms and striking him in the face before going in.
The return of David Moyes to the London Stadium wasn’t exactly met with rapturous applause from the West Ham fans, but the Scottish manager certainly made an impression on the squad as they thrashed Bournemouth 4-0 in their first game of 2020.
Ajax need a win here to secure the top spot. But it won't be easy, because their opponent is Valencia, who still have hope to qualify. But they need victory because the draw won't give them anything because Chelsea plays with Lille and will probably win.
I like to focus on football. It didn't take long for Souness to speak out again, though. Chatting to Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports' The Football Show on Tuesday, Souness said: “You know the oldest saying in football comes to mind: Put your medals on the table. I've got a big table. Souness has won a fair few medals in his time. Five English First Division titles with Liverpool, as well as three European Cups and three League Cups.
TALKING POINTS Is the Premier League any good? Chelsea are as good as out, Spurs are a goal down to Leipzig with the away leg to come, Liverpool are an away goal behind the world's best defensive side, and Man City are playing Real Madrid; there's a fair chance the quarter-finals will contain no English team.
Similarly, Arsenal have averaged just 1.0 goal per game under the direction of Mikel Arteta, and shorn of the services of Aubameyang, who scored 50% of their goals in their last six games, the Gunners shouldn't be expected to improve on their average this weekend.

RED CARD! Dreadful pass back from Mustafi, Abraham nips in, rounds Leno, Luiz races back, hauls the Chelsea striker down to the floor and, on his return to Stamford Bridge, is sent off!!! 28’ - GOOOOAAALLLLL!!! Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal. The ever-reliable Jorginho, in his own unique way, slots the penalty into the net.

I really see at least two goals in this match from Romania Cup and with a little luck and maybe even three or more than that. Simply, reason is good form of this rivals and when I say that, I mean on fact that this two teams are in last period played mostly very efficient. Hermannstadt is interesting team who is in last three matches at home played 1-0, 2-2 and 2-2, while on the other side, Steaua is almost in every match on same level - 2-2, 1-2 and 2-1 on last three away matches. Over is very real and I will try.
Obviously Giroud offers a different style to the Austrian forward, but he will look at Moyes' previous work at West Ham and believe that he can go there and score enough goals to keep his place in the France national team ahead of this summer's European Championships. The French forward just needs to leave Chelsea and start playing first-team football again if he wants to play a major role in Les Bleus' potential road to Wembley.
Wolves' Europa League last-16 first-leg match at Olympiakos on Thursday will also be played in a near-empty stadium, as will Rangers' second-leg tie at Bayer Leverkusen on 19 March in the same competition.

The good health of our pack and the general public is one of them.

Man of the Match - Niall McGinnAlthough it was a Celtic victory it was the Aberdeen players who caught the eye on an afternoon where silky football was definitely not on the agenda. Ferguson and McLennan gave their all but McGinn tormented the Celtic backline from the first minute to the last and although he ended up in the losing side he can be pleased with his performance overall. We did annoy them' - reactionAberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "The intent from my team was clear today.

After being without a single win in their first 4 games of this season, Sagadam in their last 5 games has a record of 4-1-0 in the league very solid defending from them with quite a couple of clean sheets and also quite decent at scoring goals, plus they play this game at home against an Ahal side which started this season with 6 wins from their opening 7 games and were league leaders but lost two rounds ago with 2-1 at home to Altyn Asyr but most important last round they faced modest Mew on the road and ended up losing the game with no less than 3-0 in the end as they even missed a penalty kick while being 2-0 behind in the second half.
