3 of Bournemouth’s 4 draws this season arrived inside their last 6 Premier League fixtures, and as luck would have it, the they face the division’s draw specialists Wolves who have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches.
The Belgian defender gave Wolves the lead when he poked in from Joao Moutinho's corner in the 23rd minute, before Cutrone found the corner with a low drive, two minutes after replacing Raul Jimenez. West Ham's best chances fell the way of Pablo Fornals and Robert Snodgrass. Fornals forced a good save from Rui Patricio with a curling shot, before Snodgrass' heavy touch allowed the Portuguese keeper to snuff out the danger.

Leverkusen captain Lars Bender said discussions had taken place in the last few weeks and on Tuesday they reached an agreement. The team is ready to waive part of the salaries in order to support the club in its efforts to financially overcome the corona crisis," Bender said in a club statement following a makeshift training session where players trained only in pairs.
Clear over bet in my opinion as Eintracht scored and conceded plenty of goals since the restart losing first with ease 3-1 at home to Gladbach as they were 2-0 behind by the 5th minute than followed an away game at Bayern where they scored 2 goals in the second half but ended up losing 5-2 the game because of poor defending mainly as their attack is in fact decent like their last two games show winning first with luck away from home at a tough Wolfsburg side with 2-1 which prior to that smashed Leverkusen 4-1 on the road, and last round they won 3-0 away at Bremen who did not concede prior to that in their last 3 league games.
A team of experienced winners like Jeonbuk know how to make a lead count. They get in front and strangle possession, starving their opponents of opportunities to equalise. We see a Jeonbuk masterclass incoming. Back them to win both halves.
Lyon faces Nice in this match for Ligue 1. Both teams are not doing as well as they were doing last year. Nice has a good team but lost some of the good players and they lost their identity. Lyon still has a super team but had a really bad start losing and drawing a lot of games they were controlling. This time I believe the home team will win. They have a stronger squad, they are now playing very well and the momentum they built is incredible. Playing at home I do not see them not winning this game. M
Neither of these two sides can be considered experts in the art of defending. The hosts are the opposite, as Luton have faced more shots (408) and conceded more goals (56) than any other Championship team this season. They are without a clean sheet in 14, having conceded 2.1 goals per game this term. The hosts have shipped three or more in each of their last four, so the problem isn’t getting better.
What is the background?Premier League clubs previously said they would ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs. However, the Professional Footballers' Association said such a cut could harm the NHS, adding players were "mindful of their social responsibilities". Speaking to BBC Sport earlier on Wednesday, former England striker and Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer said it should be up to the players to decide the best way to help.

This was a great performance from everybody. The only negative was that we needed to be more clinical as we had 28 shots on goal. We knew we had to do everything to defend our box and congrats to the guys, they did their job. The Saints dominated proceedings and debutant William Smallbone hit the post with a deflected shot in the sixth minute before Ireland striker Long netted the opener two minutes later.
Breidablik will likely win against Fjolnir when it is getting better recently. Specifically, teachers and coaches Milos Milojevic have won the last 4/5 matches, won 3/5 recent matches at home. And Fjolnir has lost the last 3/5 matches away, the last 4/7 matches, did not win the latest 6/9 away matches and did not win the last 6/7 matches.
They pushed us all the way but we clung on and never abandoned the plan we had and with the efforts of the whole team we pulled it off. The Argentine also gave a special mention to his goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who kept the Spanish side in the game with nine saves throughout the 120 minutes. For Simeone, the Slovenian is as talismanic as Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
Hoffenheim have currently got the worst defensive record in the top half of the Bundesliga table. They have conceded 27 goals in their 16 games. This is at least five more goals than any other team in the top half of the table. Hoffenheim also have the Bundesliga's second-worst home defensive record, conceding 18 home goals.
This goal has come just at the moment Real Sociedad looked to be pressing for a winner. GOAL! Barcelona 2-0 Real Sociedad: There’s the finishing touch on the win for the Catalans! Messi played the ball through to Ansu, he cuts back inside and plays the pass across goal for Alba and the Barcelona left back slams the finish into the back of the empty net! Excellent goal! 96’ GOAL RULED OUT! The VAR is used to rule out that goal.
I like the odds for the home win to happen here as Creteil is a decent home side with record of 5-3-3 in home games while one of their rare wins on the road so far this season came against this opponent here in the first part of this season when they played at Rouen and won the game with no less than 3-0 in the end but lately suffered a couple of defeats although remaining quite solid in home games but are a bit far away from the promotion places at this moment.
The Europa League is just purer. For example, when was the last time Mesut Ozil put a slide tackle in the Champions League? He was at it on Thursday night. Lovely stuff. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang loves missing a sitter Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a wonderfully gifted football player, as evidenced by his scissor kick to put Arsenal on the cusp of the last-16 of the Europa League.
Redmond smashed home in the 22nd minute when he was played in behind the Palace defence by Jack Stephens. Southampton doubled their lead when Armstrong whipped in a curling effort after 48 minutes. Palace huffed and puffed in response but Saints held firm to move a place and a point above their hosts into ninth on 31 from 24 games.
In particular, I would like to thank the incredible staff in Marymount Care Centre in Lucan for the care and support they have provided to Sean over the past number of months. Liverpool and Republic of Ireland legends played a charity game at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin"At a time when staying at home takes on new meaning for all of us, its clear that there is no other place that Sean would rather be.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Heerenveen. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites and have only lost once at home so far this season. Heracles have performed to a very similar standard to the home side this season so we are expecting a close game on Saturday but with the home advantage, we are backing Heerenveen to inch all three points.
Video - It's now or never for Paul Pogba and Real Madrid - Euro Papers01:17 As the Daily Mail reports. Insiders describe it as containing more drama and conflict than their fly-on-the-wall account of Manchester City's Premier League title win released last year. Tottenham have endured a disappointing season and are eighth in the suspended Premier League table, but there has been no shortage of incident at the club.
Xavi, a deep lying midfielder, had an incredible career that saw him represent Spain 133 times, winning the World Cup once and European Championship twice. His European club career encompassed a fantastic period of success with Barcelona, including eight La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and both the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup twice apiece. Crouch: “Paul Scholes is number four and Xavi number five.
Victory would have taken Tottenham above London rivals Chelsea into fourth but instead they slipped to sixth, two points behind.

I am looking forward to getting back to work with the team as soon as possible," said former England international Neville. We have a fantastic squad of players and there is plenty to work on as we look to progress as a team going into 2021. Who could replace Neville for England?Lionesses need an experienced manager - Brown-FinnisThe 43-year-old former Manchester United and Everton defender was appointed in January 2018 on a contract until the summer of 2021.
I believe that this match from Champions league will be very interesting and very efficient, what is pretty natural to expect, if we know what was happened in first duel. So, Valencia is in big problem. They are lost last match against this rival in Italy with even 1-4, so team is in big problem and very difficult situation. Second problem is fact that because of "Coronavirus", this duel will be play on empty stadium. In any case, I see here fast match with a lot of chances and generally a lot of goals. I will try that here.
I would like to see Abraham get an opportunity against Italy and Denmark later this month and, if he is fit, I am sure he will. He is not going to be England's first-choice striker unless there are injuries to the players ahead of him, but that is exactly what has happened. Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford won't be involved in either of those friendlies, and Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate does not have many other options.
I don't know why we cannot see a lot of goals in this match, who will be played today in Turkey Cup, when it is clear that this option is very real. So, it is the fact that this two rivals are fighting for the title in Turkey Super league, but also and in this competition, also, for trophy - Cup. In first match of this two rivals, Alanyspor was great and they are won 2-0, but we will see what will happen this time. For me, over is ok, because both of rivals will score in this match, that is sure.
He has, however, found it difficult leaving his partner and two-year-old daughter in Liverpool. It is tough not being with them, but we keep in touch through FaceTime," Baxter, who signed a 12-month deal with the Tennessee outfit, adds. Some of the away games here involve three-day round trips, so I felt it would be selfish of me to leave them in my apartment for so long, thousands of miles from home.
They love their club, so they love Solskjaer. England's Euro 2020 warm-ups England have added a couple of fixtures to their Euro 2020 build-up in June - matches against Austria and Romania. Pep: City don't miss Kompany Video - Guardiola claims ‘extraordinary’ Man City players don’t miss Vincent Kompany00:47 11:30 - Back to a 'happy place' Mourinho is excited for his Old Trafford return on Wednesday.
Was he genuine? Has the leopard really changed his spots? The evidence will start building on Saturday when Spurs take on West Ham in the early kick-off. The inevitable Zlatan link emerges Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates at the end of the match with Jose MourinhoReuters Yesterday, one of The Warm-Up’s colleagues idly speculated about putting £1,000 on Zlatan Ibrahimovic joining Tottenham in January, so obvious was it that he was the first type of player Mourinho would be looking to bring into a Tottenham squad starved of success, and light on strikers.

Fu Jen University will against Taichung Futuro in match Taiwan Football Premier. My prediction this match could be the win for Fu Jen University with margin score is 1 goal. Fu Jen University have great result on last match due to Fu Jen University can beat Red Lions with score is 4-0. Meanwhile, Taichung Futuro have also good result on last match due to Taichung Futuro can beat NTUS with score is 2-1. Nevertheless, my prediction that Fu Jen University can beat Taichung Futuro due to Fu Jen University have good result in every home match on last season. Surely Fu Jen University have more chance to win on this match.
He would be able to handle the pressure of playing for United too - obviously talent is the first thing you need but to be a success at big clubs you need the right mentality too, and he showed that by going to Germany and becoming a key player for his team. As for the game? It is a tough one but we are going to go there and absolutely pulverise them. Pogba will be back in the side too. SUNDAY Arsenal v Chelsea (14:00)This is Mikel Arteta's first home game as Arsenal boss, and I am sure that will give everyone a bit of a lift.

Burnley hosted Crewe twice in this reserve league and they won both games winning first with 1-0 and last season back in December last year they won with 3-2 the game, I was a bit tempted to take the over line here as Burnley does concede when playing games at home but the guests have no less than 3 defeats in a row in this league at this moment and the hosts are quite a decent home side so will back the home win to happen for a 3rd time in a row here as odds are decent to be taken.
Aston Villa moved out of the Premier League relegation zone for the first time since 28 February, with one game to go, after Trezeguet's priceless winner against Arsenal. Trezeguet beat Emiliano Martinez with a powerful first-time finish after Tyrone Mings had diverted a corner into the Egypt international's path to lift his side above managerless Watford, who had started the day 17th before a heavy 4-0 home defeat by Manchester City, on goal difference.
That might lead to some awkward questions. Could Newcastle match Manchester City's investment?With all the talk about the Saudi Arabian royal family's wealth, it must be hard for Newcastle fans not to dream of the mega-star players the club could potentially buy. More than anything, they hope the club can return to their glory years in the mid 1990s and early 2000s when they consistently challenged for Europe and even the Premier League title.
