Once again, if we just check last year's results, which in my opinion is closer to the truth, we see a 0 x 2 and a 0 x 0 at Nebitci Balkan's stadium. More over, this year we have Nebitci performing better than last year and we will see a more balanced match than in previous years. Despite Ahal being a stronger side I think they will in this match only by a goal 0 x 1 or we can even see a 0 x 0 here. 1 x 0 and 1 x 1 are not discarded too. Interesting match!
There will be different cases, as we are seeing in different federations [where] they are preparing for an option of playing with no public. Another option is to play away, somewhere that is safe, and do it as a World Cup format. Another is to try to extend the season. That would be very complicated unless it comes from Uefa or Fifa and they [fit in] with the Qatar World Cup in 2022. I don't think anyone can give you the decision now because we don't know what the situation will be.
Lampard said he "would look at all areas" but it is further forward he is more concerned about. Tammy Abraham is Chelsea's top scorer with 13 goals this season - but may not have even got in the team had the club been allowed to sign players in the summerHe added: "We have found a way in the team where we can still be competitive in the league and the Champions League and going forward you ask 'can we get even better in forward areas to help us to be more clinical?' We would always look at that.
West Ham could do better but they will pleased to be through. They kept going through the game, showed their energy and eventually that class shone through. Great resilience' - what they saidWest Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC Sport: "We're really thrilled. These games have caused us difficulty over the years and Gillingham nearly did that again - they were really good, really competitive, hard to play against but we had a bit of quality.
You can listen to the full interview with Kelly Cates on 5 live Sport from 12:00 BST on BBC Radio 5 live. Media playback is not supported on this device Klopp 'absolutely overwhelmed' by Liverpool title win In a wide-ranging interview, Henderson praised Klopp's attitude in victory or defeat. When you win, he's on the dancefloor and partying but to be honest, when we lose, the way he handles that is incredible," Henderson said.
Sporting hammered visiting PSV Eindhoven 4-0 to qualify from Group D and will be joined by LASK of Austria who beat Norwegians Rosenborg 2-1 in Trondheim. APOEL Nicosia cruised to a 2-0 win at Dudelange and got a helping hand from Group A winners Sevilla, who beat Qarabag by the same scoreline to put the Cypriots through as runners-up.
Belgian forward Dries Mertens came close to joining Chelsea but will renew his contract with Napoli instead, journalist Kristof Terreur has told BBC Radio 5 Live. In January when Chelsea knocked on the door, he was quite convinced," Belgian reporter Terreur said. But once you are in the south of Italy, with good money and you are a god, why would you change that? "He would come to the Premier League as a nobody and in Italy he is a star.
Swans boss Steve Cooper is an admirer of Brewster and worked with him during his time as England Under-17 coach. Brewster finished as top scorer as Cooper's team won the 2017 Under-17 World Cup. The England Under-21 international is likely to make his Swans debut in Sunday's south Wales derby at Cardiff City. Brewster made his first Liverpool appearances in the Carabao Cup earlier this season, and played the final 11 minutes of their 1-0 FA Cup win over rivals Everton.

Interim coach Hansi Flick has earned bonus points for successfully managing the situation and looks closer than ever to getting a permanent deal. But he knows his team cannot let off as they did in their German Cup round of 16 game on Wednesday when they were leading 4-1 but allowed Hoffenheim to score twice late in the game.
Stones has not featured since City's derby defeat at home by Manchester United earlier this month due to a thigh problem, but is back training along with midfielder David Silva who has shaken off a knock. Guardiola said he expected a tough test against Everton, who are unbeaten in five games, including back-to-back victories in their last two matches under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Analysis or instinct? The former suggests there can be only one winner on Wednesday but partly thanks to the latter there remains that crucial, enticing element of doubt. The game may well appear one-sided, but that doesn't mean only one side can win it. Arsenal, who’re yet to appoint a new permanent manager, are without a win in eight games in all competitions.
Waasland Beveren and Kortrijk will face each other in the upcoming match in the Jupiler League. Waasland Beveren this season have the following results: 5W, 5D and 14L.

Ross County travels to Paisley this weekend in search of their first win since September as they are hosted by bottom-placed St Mirren. Can the hosts pick up a much-needed 3 points? Read on for all our Scottish Premiership predictions and betting tips.
Troy Deeney compounded a miserable day for United as he registered his first league goal since April with a penalty after Aaron Wan-Bissaka's foul on Sarr. Not even the introduction of Paul Pogba - returning after a near three-month absence - as a substitute could raise United, who failed to register a shot on target until the hosts were already two goals ahead. And while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side did attempt to chase the game, Watford also had chances to add to their tally and deserved only their third league victory ever over United.
However, Ross County has conceded huge amounts in recent weeks, letting in 14 goals in their last five games- 2.8 on average. Moreover, they've also scored an average of 1.2 goals in their last five, failing to do so just once.
Organisers said on Wednesday they had agreed to move Australia's game against China back by a day to Feb. Taiwan opened the tournament with a 1-0 win over Thailand on Monday. The first and second placed teams in the tournament go into a two-legged playoff with other Asian teams in March to qualify for the Tokyo Games.
Another match from Turkey where I see home win and I will try that. So, here, I can said that both rivals are in very good form but Galata is in still in better form. After many wins, they are played 2-2 not so long ago against Sivasspor, as a guests, while Besiktas is won last two matches in league 2-1 and 2-1. In last two years, Galata is two times played at home against Besiktas and beat them both times, and same was the case when Besiktas was home team - also two wins. So, Galata is closer to win and I will try.
Sean Dyche is a legend. But we already knew that. His many achievements on the pitch are well documented, but there are so many tall tales about Burnley's long-serving manager off the pitch that it's difficult to know what's true and what's fable. Remember when it went around that the reason for his gruff voice was that he used to eat worms? The liege lord of Lancashire is this week's guest on the That Peter Crouch Podcast, and we were treated to more interesting insight.
Sakai, who has 42 caps for Japan, first reported having a fever on Wednesday and was diagnosed with acute upper respiratory infection in a hospital the following day. His positive test for coronavirus was confirmed on Monday, the club said. Kobe said no other player in the squad, which includes Spanish World Cup winner Andres Iniesta, had shown any symptoms.
But I think Chelsea are going to make it. I think Frank Lampard is doing a fabulous job. Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. How did Lawro do last time? Dawe can still drawWith West Ham still to play Watford, Lawro leads DJ Nathan Dawe by 70-30 after nine of the 10 midweek fixtures. Lawro got four results correct, including one exact score, while Dawe managed three correct results and no exact scores.
If you look at our lineup then you see that it is a very young team," Serdar said. Obviously there are things we need to improve but, compared to last season, we have take a big step forward. The Bavarians have themselves brought in reinforcements this week, with right back Alvaro Odriozola joining on loan from Real Madrid until the end of the season, as interim coach Hansi Flick struggles with injuries to defenders Javi Martinez, Lucas Hernandez and Niklas Suele.
Thomas Frank's side continued to press and Luka Racic was denied by a stunning save by Danny Ward in the closing stages while substitute Bryan Mbuema had a goal correctly chalked off for off-side. And Leicester held on thanks to their defensive doggedness to seal their place in the next round and must now turn their attentions to the League Cup semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
I'm frustrated, disappointed, upset," said Bruce. From the first minute to the last we were never good enough in possession. We gave the ball away. Our whole demeanour wasn't right. Oxford made it difficult for us. But we made it difficult for ourselves the way we surrendered possession. The amount of mistakes we made was ridiculous.
We believe that tomorrow will be a great night for us. We have to be prepared to take Braga to the next stage, this is the most important thing. We are aware that it will be a very difficult game, we cannot think of anything else, we cannot be distracted by anything else. Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "What we know is we have a very difficult 90 minutes ahead - a real, big challenge. We have a small advantage going into the game, but in no way do we think we are favourites and in no way do we feel we have any reason to be over-confident.
After a break from the covid epidemic, the Costa Rican League finally returned to the earliest match of the round of 16 between Guadalupe vs Limon FC. Since the beginning of the season, what Guadalupe has performed is more stable than Limon FC. Moreover, Guadalupe proved to be very charming with a home draw. Be aware that all 3 home matches have a handicap of 1/2, Guadalupe has a triumph song and brings joy to investors.
Salzburg is practically already a champion in the league, since LASK is hard to get it close to them at the table in the next games. They will go for the win against Hartberg, but their rival is one of rare teams that manage to avoid to be defeated in duel with the Champion.
Jeju United welcomes Gyeongnam FC in round 8 of the South Korean K league 2. Jeju United have been a good team lately. Currently Jeju United sit in 2nd place and collected a total number of 13 points from 7 games. Gyeongnam FC currently sit 5th place and collected a total number of 10 points. The host has won the last 4 games and is in 2nd place in the table. The guest has only lost one game from the last 4 games. The direct comparison is fairly balanced, but both teams have scored one goal in the last 3 games. A draw here is anticipated.
Seated alongside him was former chief executive David Gill, and the pair are a reminder of the club's halcyon days. It is those days the man whose goal won the 1999 Champions League final is trying to rediscover. No-one knows if he will achieve it. But the United fans who pay to watch their team play will back him to the hilt in the hope he does. At about the hour mark the 3,000 populating a corner of the Etihad's South Stand delivered an audible "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole".
We can see the hosts getting something out of this one, following some solid form. Meanwhile, the hosts record against Forest is strong. Millwall have lost just one of their last 11 home league games against Nottingham Forest, while they’ve lost only one of the last eight league meetings overall. Forest are chasing a third straight win in London for the first time since the 80s, but we are backing them to claim a 2-2 draw after seeing Millwall’s run of scoring form.
The Gazzetta dello Sport said that both teams were already at the stadium when they were told of the postponement and that a coach load of Cremonese fans were turned back.

And now we see the result is that they’re trying to chase and catch up. The last two managers have been employed on the strength of their big names, they’ve thrown money at the problem and it hasn’t materialised. Video - 'I don't feel sorry for United' - Guardiola00:41 I’d even look at Solskjaer and ask if he’s got the right people sitting with him on the bench.
Posted at 61' Foul by Mario Pasalic (Atalanta). Nearly two years after Reuters first reported the group's plans, the Premier Golf League (PGL) hopes to launch in January, 2022, it said in a detailed news release on Saturday. Each tournament would have prize money of $10 million. Whether the tour is feasible remains to be seen on an already-crowded calendar.
Hi! Santa Clara host Boavista at Friday clash. Both clubs are evenly matched, so a big deal is coming for the DARW game. Santa Clara have failed to win four consecutive matches. So, even a tie game with the Boavista, will be a big celebrate with their own fans. Meanwhile, Boavista - they are hard to beat this season with having drawn seven of their last 11 matches in all competitions. So, tough match is upcoming. However, in the last season Santa Clara won 4-2 at home against the same opponent. So, why not to do it again :) Best prediction - DRAW with BTTS! Good game, for all! :)
One thing that is clear about this game is that the home team are favorites here. They come in the game with much confidence to continue piling pressure at the top of the table against an out of moral bottom placed away team. The last time they met, the away team really struggled to get something out of the game but it was in vain. Although we can note that the away team scores in almost every game despite them loosing meaning chances are high it won't be any different in this game. This will prompt the home team to score either two or more goals to be able to win this game.

Exeter City chairman Julian Tagg said the £50m made available was a “significant” move by a governing body that has come under heavy criticism in recent years as member clubs have struggled financially. They have come in for a lot of stick , but I think this is one time where they should be applauded for what they have done in terms of preparation, and what they have done to relieve some of the immediate pressure on all the EFL clubs,” Tagg told BBC Sport.

Clearly, no-one knows how long the game will be in shut down for. But whenever it restarts, I would think it will restart by finishing off this season. It is not entirely clear whether players will carry on training. We are in completely uncharted territory here. What happens to tickets for fans, especially season tickets - will people get a refund?Stone: "As with any situation, tickets are refundable if matches don't take place - and generally, clubs will look favourably on fans who can't make date changes that could not have been envisaged when the tickets were bought.
It mattered not on what looks like a decisive occasion. Things absolutely imploded for Hearts immediately after the break. Julien rose unchallenged at a corner to power a header home, with Pereira stranded on his line. The French defender is an imposing figure, who is making a positive contribution at both ends of the pitch for the champions. The centre-back they have been crying out for. Another corner nearly caught Hearts again with both Simunovic then Scott Brown striking the same post.

Boro will go to North London on Tuesday evening having lost none of their last six, four of which they've won.

In in the initial tie, Woodgate's men, looked a real threat on the break, while they also caused Spurs problems from set pieces too.
I regret taking the video, I regret sending that video and, whilst it was a dark-humoured joke, it was just that. A joke. It was not intended to shame anyone," he added. Whilst I absolutely understand the importance of an employer taking discrimination seriously, as they did, the decision to this day still stuns me.
It evolved into an eight-nation tournament in 1980 and in 1996, when it was held in England, it grew to 16 teams. The most recent edition in 2016, in France, included 24 nations for the first time. The final, in which Portugal beat the hosts, was watched by a television audience of 284 million. The 2020 edition, brainchild of former UEFA president Michel Platini, was supposed to be the first staged across the continent, rather than by a single or joint host nations.
Winger Anthony Knockaert looked bright and he and Mitrovic forced relatively comfortable saves from home goalkeeper Illan Meslier. The visitors were incensed that they were not awarded a penalty when the ball struck Tyler Roberts on the arm in the area as Leeds were left hanging on for the half-time whistle. It was a different story after the interval, as subs Alioski and Pablo Hernandez both made pivotal impacts to secure a vital three points for Marcelo Bielsa's men.
