We can see Boavista getting back to winning ways on Saturday, and given Portimonense’s continued struggles to win matches we certainly don’t see the visitors claiming all the points. For this reason, a Boavista Draw No Bet looks the best value on offer.
Some of their individual performances against Liverpool on Sunday were actually quite good, but overall, as a team, they just did OK. Is that good enough for United? No, it's not. I did not see anything at Anfield which they could build on, either. Yes, Luke Shaw, Williams and Wan-Bissaka played well. Nemanja Matic and Fred looked a decent partnership in midfield and, up front, Martial stepped it up in the second half too.
Manchester City have opened talks with forward Raheem Sterling about a new long-term contract. Sterling, 24, signed a deal in November 2018 that runs to 2023 but City are keen to secure his future. It is understood any new contract would see him become one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League. He won the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award last season has been praised for his public stance on racism in society.
There was another scare when he was left clutching his troublesome right Achilles in the win over Nottingham Forest - but he looked as fresh as ever today, producing an exciting display which bodes well for the second half of the season. On too many occasions this season, Chelsea have struggled to break down the division's 'lesser' clubs, but inspired by the rapid pace of their 19-year-old, this was a much more creative and energetic team performance, and they were unfortunate not to win by a bigger margin.
He is thankful for every minute. And while he has no plans to branch out on his own just yet, he has ideas for when it eventually happens. I love the game. I have a passion for the game. I love to be around the players and give advice. I like to be positive. You will have ups and downs but the most important thing is to keep fighting and keep believing in what you are doing.
Liverpool will surely, SURELY, go on to win their first Premier League title when the football season resumes - of, of course, if it resumes. When we asked you to rank the final top-flight table at the start of the season, you said Manchester City would be champions, while Brighton, Norwich and Sheffield United would go down. Pep Guardiola's side should still make it into the top four, but who else will join them? How will the table look following the relegation scrap? Predict how you think the final table will look and share it with your friends using #bbcfootball.
Ahead of the match, Augsburg are 13th with 31 points, three shy of 12th placed Koln. Both sides head to the game on the back of losses in the last round of matches. Augsburg fell 2-0 to Hertha Berlin, making it the second straight game they have failed to score. Being just six points off the automatic relegation slot, they will be hoping to get moving here.
With only one side coming into this game with any kind of positive feeling around them, backing Flamengo on the Draw No Bet line looks like an excellent way to play as far as the betting is concerned.. Palmeiras have looked on the beach in recent weeks and with Flamengo unbeaten in a huge 26 games, winning 21 times in the process, we fancy them to run out comfortable 2-0 winners.
Bochum and Stuttgart will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Bochum this season have the following results: 5W, 8D and 8L. Meanwhile Stuttgart have 11W, 5D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Hearts have no relegation ruin fearsHearts becoming 'laughing stock'Hearts eye legal action after relegationTop-flight Hearts, Championship side Partick Thistle and League One Stranraer were relegated in the SPFL's current 12-12-12-10 format when the season was curtailed by the coronavirus crisis. Hearts and last season's Championship runners-up, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, would make up the expanded Premiership.
Lampard warns Chelsea stars they are playing for their future Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has called for his players to bounce back from the Blues’ defeat to Everton on Saturday and has not ruled out new arrivals in the January transfer window. Chelsea recently had their FIFA transfer ban lifted and the 3-1 loss at Goodison Park has sparked suggestions the Stamford Bridge side could enter the market for reinforcements.
Like Darmstadt at home, Stuttgart haven't been prolific winners on the road, which could end up being their downfall. Promotion is the only goal for Sunday's visitors this season but until they start to collect more points on the road, they'll struggle to cement themselves inside the top two.

While Lida won last two games at home and away. They won both the home games and won both by two or More goals margin. Lida are unbeaten against Khimik Svetlogorsk and Scored four goals each in the last two head to head matches at home .
There will be disappointment no doubt at not setting a new top flight record of 19 wins on the spin and not surpassing Arsenal's Invincibles of 2003-2004 - providing some much-needed nostalgic cheer for the red half of North London after the Europa League exit this week. But in the wider scheme of things, the Reds need just four more wins to seal their first league title in 30 years.
It is easy to see just why they have been so impressive of late, as Rovers have managed to find the back of the net 12 times in their last four matches. With such a goalscoring threat, they can challenge any side in the division and they know that if they are able to maintain it then they will be in an excellent position to climb a division come the end of the season.
Why? Since that 9-0 defeat Southampton have conceded just 13 Premier League goals in 11 matches - in this time, only Liverpool (seven) and Leicester (11) have conceded fewer. Is Ayoze Perez on for another hat-trick?Who else to consider. Since Carlo Ancelotti's first Premier League match in charge on 26 December, Everton have had more shots than any other team (50). Joao Moutinho has 14 Premier League assists for Wolves, the most of any player for the club.
This lad has been delivering these crosses all season and been an absolute delight to watch. I've often taken the view that when fans sing the name of their full-back you know what they think of that player and Robertson's name is sung on regular occasions at Anfield. What a pity Liverpool fans weren't there to see him and this extraordinary team put Palace to the sword. Did you know? Robertson has created 40 chances from open play in the Premier League this season, the joint-most of any defender, along with team-mate Alexander-Arnold.
Setien, in only his second game in charge, has rested star player Lionel Messi for the match, which is in a new one-game format rather than a two-legged tie, while Alfaro has his eyes on an upset. Barcelona already have their Liga and the 'glamour' of world football with the Champions League, but the Copa levels it out and there's space to humble them here," the 50-year-old told Marca. Man, we've got some weapons.
City have got injuries, but this is not an excuse," added Brown. We fight until the last day'Liverpool led City by nine points after a 5-1 win over Arsenal on 29 December last year, yet Guardiola's side managed to overturn the deficit in the last 19 matches. The chase is still on. We fight until the last day," said defiant City and England defender John Stones after the Newcastle game. That's assuming the title battle goes as far as the final day of the season.
Barkley, who scored Chelsea’s second with a fabulous solo effort, echoed his manager’s comments. Billy was brilliant. But it was not a surprise to me. I've seen him in training and he was like that in training last season. Barkley went on to add how special it was for him to score against Liverpool as a boyhood Evertonian.
El Geish have claimed 71% of their points at home this term and we expect them to follow that up with a win. Al Masry have got poor form behind them and with four 1-0 defeats in six we are going for another narrow defeat for the visitors. Despite their low scoring games, the visitors have conceded in 88% of their games. Given how the away side have struggled to score this term, we think this is perfectly set up for a 1-0 home victory on Wednesday.
Thibaut Courtois has been better than Kepa but has still had an inconsistent season. In Spain it is suggested that Florentino Perez might be looking for a new goalkeeper in the summer and the 21-year-old is in his sights. Real is the dream for so many footballers but the path for now is far from concrete, keep an eye on this one.
LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Heading the ball in training will be outlawed for children under the age of 12 in Scotland under proposals being considered by the Scottish Football Association after a study found former professionals were at more risk of dementia. Scotland would become the first European association to ban heading for juniors if the proposals are adopted.
Stoke will be chasing vital points in Tuesday’s meeting, with this game potentially huge in the fight for survival. The hosts have lost their last three games, but they will believe that this home clash is a chance to turn things around.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund crashed their own website when they released a surprise special edition, black-and-silver kit earlier this month which celebrates the area's coal-mining and steel-producing past, and commemorates a year since the closure of the final mine in the Ruhr Valley. While in the North West Counties League Premier Division, the ninth tier of English football, 1874 Northwich have been selling out of a viral design that features some of the town's Tudor architecture.
Kane, who has started all but one of Tottenham's Premier League games this season, was substituted in the 75th minute, with Erik Lamela replacing him. Harry plays every minute, he plays all the time," said Mourinho. It might be big, it might be small. For sure, he will be out. Record signing Tanguy Ndombele was also forced off with an injury in the first half, replaced by Giovani lo Celso. Tanguy Ndombele, I don't know.
According to The Times: "Tottenham believe they have made a breakthrough in their bid to bring Gareth Bale back to the club. The finer details of a deal have not yet been agreed — not least how they frame a contract when Bale has been earning a staggering £500,000 a week at the Santiago Bernabeu — but The Times understands there is growing confidence among the Spurs hierarchy that they can sign the Welsh superstar today.
We soaked up pressure and we had periods where we took the game to them. It was a game of few chances and we have been done by two crosses into our box. It was a long, hard-fought battle and it's hard to take. My players know what we're about and what we can do together. We have to take this on in our league form, we have 10 games to go and we will pick up points. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder: "It was always going to be tough.
Losing the first leg wasn't part of the plan, but Monday's hosts probably won't be too downbeat ahead of the return leg. After all, they only lost by a single goal, while they produced moments of promise, moments that will leave them feeling confident ahead of a game on their own patch.
The new chance for this my pick at the mach now from this Brasil league between this two great teams Botafogo and Cabofriense a best new chance for this my play at the mach now where I look see four goals and can for this my pick look get new great win from this mach now from new just and full 20 points to my score what be this best my play at the march now and can we for this my play look a new win from home team and a best new chance for this season get a best position for this next time this play.
Brage will host GIF Sundsvall for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are small favorites in this game. However, Sundsvall is very average team in this league. I do not think, the visitors have easy task in this match. In any case, they will have invest great effort in this game. Hosts have a poor result at the start of the new campaign. In previous game Bridge lost 4-1 against Degerfors. Nevertheless, the hosts have a chance to make a positive result in this match. Brage is better team at home. I think, they will try to be much more serious in this game. My pick - Bridge to win.
Osasuna's strength at home and Sociedad's regular failure to back up good results means we're siding with the hosts here, and we certainly wouldn't deter punters from getting stuck into Jagoba Arrasate's men in the double chance market.
The 28-year-old Turkish striker is on the fringes of the Everton first team, and may also attract attention from Aston Villa and Newcastle. Villa are also keen on Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi at Chelsea, though Chelsea would like to keep hold of Batshuayi. Paper Round’s view: All three clubs are struggling to stay up this season, and one of their key weaknesses is a lack of goals.
The Italian side travel to Valencia with a 4-1 lead and will be confident of progressing. They began the competition with three defeats and 11 goals conceded and looking on their way out of the competition. They they earned seven points from their last three games to reach the knock-out stages. The first leg saw them score four goals in the first 62 minutes and they may be slightly disappointed at only winning 4-1.
Four of the last five clashes between these two sides have seen both teams score, while we expect that to land again when these two meet on Sunday. We’re going for both teams to score as our pick here, while we are backing Roma to follow up on their strong record against Torino. With the hosts winning four straight home games, we think they’ll secure a 3-1 victory in this one to maintain their scoring record against Torino.
Jurgen KlinsmannGetty Images WHAT ABOUT KLINSMANN'S FUTURE? I think in Germany it will become really difficult for him to become coach anymore, but I'm not sure if he even wants to. In my opinion, he is not that good of a coach to demand so much money and there is no club (except BVB and Bayern who definitely won't be interested) who will pay him what he wants and give him that kind of power.
Chindia Targoviste will play against Viitorul in the Liga 1 Of Romania in Relegation Group on Wednesday. Chindia Targoviste failed to win any of the two Relegation Group matches.

This is only match from Belgium Pro league who will be played tonight and I believe and in the same time, I hope that we will see a lot of goals in this duel. So, it is clear and real to expect something like that, when we just know how this teams are played in last period. Home team is played in even five of last six matches with three or more goals and similar facts we can said and for Mechelen. In the same time, in last two duels Mechelen is beat this rival 3-1 and 3-1. Over 3 is ok.

All of Sheffield Wednesday’s defeats this season have come by a single goal. Meanwhile, Derby have won by a one-goal margin in 60% of their wins at this ground, backed up by a solid defensive return. The Rams have a clean sheet in all but one of their victories at home, while the Owls have scored only once in their last three visits here. As a result, a 1-0 home win is our correct score prediction for this one.
Top players have come under pressure to accept wage cuts to help their clubs through the stoppage, however FIFPRO says this is not an option for many outside the biggest leagues who often struggle to make ends meet. We have many young individuals who are on their own, away from their home countries, they often have no family support in these countries and many of them literally have one-year employment contracts," said Baer-Hoffmann.
