Since losing at home to Getafe, Krasnodar have gone eight games unbeaten in all competitions, which includes four home games, one of which produced a 3-1 win over Trabzonspor. While the hosts may have regained some confidence during the last month or so, Basel head into Thursday’s clash having lost just two of their last eighteen matches in all competitions, both of which arrived away from home in the Swiss Super League. Krasnodar’s only two victories in the group came against Trabzonspor home and away, meaning the Russians have lost their other two games against Basel and Getafe.
Brentford's defeat ensured that, with a move to their new ground scheduled for next season, this was the final cup game after 116 years at the tumbledown stadium. Any chance of an upset was effectively ended by Brentford manager Thomas Frank's decision to field a second team ahead of a key Championship game against promotion rivals Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

BBC, BT, Premier Sports and Sky pay huge amounts of money to screen football. The latter three use football to drive their subscriptions. If there is no football, what happens to the subscription numbers and, in turn, their ability to pay the contracts. As with so many things, the length of time this shutdown goes on for will determine what happens next. What about payments given to clubs depending on league position - what will they get?Stone: "If the Premier League has its way, they will get the payments they are supposed to get because the season will finish.
City have 38 points from 18 games having played one match more than Juergen Klopp's side, who won the Club World Cup in Doha on Saturday. When a team has 16 (league) victories from 17, it's unrealistic to think we're going to chase them," he added. It's unrealistic right now. We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know.
Roda score an average of 1.80 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.80 goals while MVV score an average of 0.80 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.40 goals, which ties in well with our prediction for a 2-1 home win on Sunday. Roda’s home games produce an average of 3.60 total goals and MVV’s away games produce an average of 3.20 total goals, which suggests there is a good chance we will see three goals scored on Sunday.
The main aim for Los Blancos was to avoid defeat in Catalonia to stay level pegging with Barca at the top of the table, and they will now look to overhaul the champions as we move towards the second half of the season.
With both sides focusing their might on keeping the opposition at bay and then hoping to profit at the other end, it could become a bit of a war of attrition. Despite the gap in the league, both teams will know that they are perfectly capable of the three points if they perform, but this will likely come off the back of shutting their opposition out. With this in mind, backing there to be less than 2.5 goals scored looks to be the smartest move which can be made.
The statement continued: "In establishing the new group, the EFL and PFA acknowledge the common problems faced by the League and member clubs, and the need for all parties to be part of a solution. Dialogue with the working group will enable the League both to listen to the concerns of players and to explain the extent of the financial challenges. It will focus not just on the short term (May and June) but will address the medium-term position from the start of July onwards and into next season.
It's a vital game because Green Bay can clinch NFC North if they win this match against the Vikings who are second in the divison with a 10-4 record. The Packers are 4-0 for games against the other sides in their division, compared to 2-2 for their opponents. Green Bay haven't been in the play-offs since 2016 and their performance this year is a big improvement on the 6-9-1 they finished on last season.
They also head to a Roma side who just lost 2-0 at home to Torino. The hosts have had problems at the back all season at the Olimpico, conceding in 89% of their matches here. Torino were the fourth Serie A side to score twice at this ground this term. Juve have scored twice or more in 16 of their last 21 games across Serie A and the Champions League, so we’re backing over 1.5 goals for the visitors in this clash.
City outclassed their neighbours in the first half, going in 3-0 at the break before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side regrouped and avoided what could have been a more emphatic defeat. A brilliant strike from Bernardo Silva put City ahead in the 17th minute, the winger cutting in from the right before unleashing a superb shot into the far, top corner.
It's a one-sided game in favor of hamburger SV. Hamburger is on 3rd spot on league table whereas when is on 17th place. When lost 14 matches so far. They are nowhere in comparison with hamburger. Also after losing 2 back to back matches hamburger need a light team to regain the momentum. I think this is the best setup event to kick off their upcoming fixtures with fresh strategy. I see many goals here by home team. They already hit 52 goals in 28 matches in which they highly dominated weak teams. Therefore -1.5 AH on home team looks great selection. Good luck.
It was Payet's eighth league goal of the season. The Provence side, who were once again helped by a sterling performance from keeper Steve Mandanda, have not yet conceded a single goal in Ligue 1 in 2020. PSG will be without Neymar when they take on Lyon on Sunday after coach Thomas Tuchel said it was 'too early' for the Brazil forward to get back to action after picking up a rib injury last weekend.
Al Shoalah will host Al-Kawkab for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to get a positive result in this game. Both sides are very average teams in this league. However, I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Yeah, the hosts are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Nevertheless, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. I expect, this will be tense match. I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. They will try to remain unbeaten in this game. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - Al-Kawkab to win.
If Rangers win their game in hand and match Celtic result for result then they're champions. They'd need to show all kinds of steel and nerve to get over the line, but they haven't been lacking in those departments this season. Rangers were emphatically the better side on Sunday and not even a goal awarded to Celtic in error and another red card for Morelos could stop them. Last month they lost the League Cup final to their great rivals in the most painful circumstances but they looked like the team that had taken more from that day at Hampden.
Leganes picked up a point at home to Real Betis to pile the pressure on fourth-bottom Celta, who faced table toppers Real Madrid in weekend’s final game. The Galician outfit pulled off the result of the weekend as they claimed an invaluable 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu. The four sides are separated by just two points and any small slip up at this stage could prove fatal.
He might have done better because there was no pace on the header. VAR are checking for a push on Ramos. PENALTY TO CITY! Carvajal has been penalised for a foul on Sterling, and City have the chance to take the lead. It was a stupid tackle from Carvajal. GOAL! Real Madrid 1-2 Man City (De Bruyne pen) The captain De Bruyne slides a cool penalty into the bottom-left corner.
So proud of the team," Ings, who struck the crossbar twice in the first half, told the BBC. We take each game as it comes. We have smiles on our faces, we are getting back to enjoying football. Leicester had earlier gone ahead in the 14th minute through midfielder Dennis Praet's first goal for the club, as he tapped the ball in after Jamie Vardy ran on to a lobbed pass and fired a cross into the penalty area.
However, it’s clear that something has changed at Man City. They have won just 12 of their 18 league games this season and have failed to win three of their last seven. This includes dismal defeats against both Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as a disappointing draw at Newcastle at the end of November.
Nazaries have drawn a blank in their last two away matches against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, but they scored in all of their previous six outings on the road this season, netting 13 times in total across those games.
NEC have scored an average of 1.89 goals per home game and have conceded 1.22 goals while Den Bosch have netted an average of 1.44 goals per away game and have conceded an average of 2.11 goals, and we have backed the pair to play out a 2-2 draw this weekend. Both NEC at home and Den Bosch away average over 3 total goals per game, which suggests that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Sunday’s clash.
Buendia has put together an exceptional season during a very difficult campaign for Norwich, putting up numbers that shame players at better clubs. His season has been criminally underrated, but should he get a move this season to one of the big clubs then his production levels should - given the superior players he will be playing with - be even more impressive, and, thus in retrospect, this season will look even more impressive.
Cambridge United vs Stevenage predictions and betting tips as they meet in League 2 this weekend. Which of these out of form hosts will be able to come out on top? Read on for all our League 2 betting tips and predictions.
With the gap in class between the teams and Colchester's dearth of quality up front established, we think United are priced generously to win to nil on Wednesday, while our correct score prediction is tipping Solskjaer's men to run out comfortable 3-0 winners.
Looking at the losses that made both the host and the guest with poor form we see they have losses against big teams 6th position Sheffield Utd ! 4th Chelsea, 2nd Leicester and 1st Liverpool that is losses from the host. The guest Chelsea, Leicester, 10th Tottenham and 3rd Manchester city, Both of them are unbeaten against low ranking teams. In my opinion they are in good form, they have played against big teams, so they have similar form and possible draw.
Brighton are close to signing Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana on a free transfer. Lallana's deal with the Premier League champions expires at the end of this season and he has been in talks over a three-year contract with the Seagulls. The 32-year-old has made 22 appearances for the Reds in 2019-20, though he has started only three league games and not been involved since the restart. Lallana won the last of his 34 England caps against Italy in March 2018.
MLS side want Modric DC United are hoping to make Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric their next marquee signing after Wayne Rooney’s departure, the Daily Mail reports. Rooney left the MLS club at the end of last season – having returned to England with Derby – and now DC United had set their sights on 30-year-old Modric, who is also said to be a target for David Beckham’s new franchise Inter Miami.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk is the favorite this time around against FK Slutsk at their own stadium. Are they really favorites? Well, yes they really are and they also are well rated by the bookies at odds of 1,44 / 1,45. AS for the other team FK Slutsk they are way overrated by the bookies at the odds of 6.87, as fair odds for them would be around 11,06. There is no much value on this bet but it's still pretty easy money. Last year for the same game we could see Shakhtyor Soligorsk odds at 1,25 for the same game and 11 for Slutsk
One of those games takes place at Prenton Park as Tranmere Rovers host Watford. Both sides are fighting their own relegation battles outside of this contest. Tranmere are 21st in League One while Watford sit in 19th place in the Premier League. The previous meeting between the teams was one of the games of the round as Tranmere stormed back from three goals down to draw 3-3 at Vicarage Road.
But this welcome victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in a performance that was a throwback to the Sir Alex Ferguson day, in total control at Old Trafford and taking their chances against a struggling side. Rashford impressed up front by showcasing a wide array of skills, including putting defender Sam Byram on his backside with an outrageous 'elastico'. He was ruthless in front of goal too, taking his tally to 63 goals for United.

He is the sixth manager to be dimissed since Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim bought the club in 2014, while Sanchez - appointed in January - is the sixth sporting director to leave in the same period. According to reports in Spain, Sanchez resigned shortly after Celades' sacking on Monday, having earlier told the squad their manager would still be in charge for Wednesday's game against Athletic Bilbao.
It has said it has no intention of postponing matches or cancelling the season it began earlier this month. While most of its teams, perhaps with the exception of BATE Borisov and Dinamo Minsk, are unknown to the majority of soccer fans, the league is making the most of stoppages to the world's top competitions.
The fact that they've done a good job of restricting teams when winning at home, conceding zero goals, should mean that Rangers come into this final game feeling confident, even if they are playing the only team to beat them.

So there are plenty of reasons to back Saints here, although I am slightly reluctant because of how well Burnley are playing. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Katie's prediction: 1-0 Norwich v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)At the start of the season it looked like Norwich's home form would give them a platform for staying up, but it has not really worked out like that. And while Manchester City were undone at Carrow Road in September when Norwich went at them, I just don't see the Canaries causing Liverpool the same sort of problems.
His free-kick against Spain and some of his close control was mesmerising. Then was still brilliant four years later to down England with two late goals. As good as they were, should still have a word with his strikeforce - he has one assist from 38 chances created at the finals!FORWARDSAntoine Griezmann (France) - 7 apps, 6 goals. Tournaments played in: 2016. Best finish: Runner-up (2016)Another Frenchman to have a brilliant tournament on home soil, Griezmann looked like carrying his side to another win until they blew it in the final.
Today Arsenal is expected to host Oshmyany for the second time and we really expect the match to be very tough. Since Arsenal is playing at their home ground we don't expect them to be defeated by Oshmyany.
The Catalans, who have won the Copa del Rey a record 30 times, will visit the island side, who play in Spain's fourth tier, on Jan. Barca captain Lionel Messi, fellow striker Luis Suarez and others from the team are regular visitors to the Spanish party island in the close season. Real Madrid will travel to Unionistas de Salamanca, the fan-owned club formed from the ashes of UD Salamanca, which folded in 2013.
However, it's important to put Motherwell's away form into context. They have lost three on the bounce, but they've faced the top two during that spell and Hibernian, who're a top-six side at present. Against bottom-six teams, Motherwell are unbeaten away from home, winning three out of four.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is "open" to the idea of a new contract with the Premier League champions. The 48-year-old Spaniard was appointed in 2016 and signed a contract extension last year until 2021. No talks have yet been held with City chiefs, but Guardiola said: "I'm so comfortable working with this club. When you are [somewhere for] five years it depends on the results. We will see what happens this season and next season.
It has also been suggested by some clubs that a 16-day tournament be organised, with several matches each day and clubs playing every two days in order to complete the 82 remaining matches by June 30, including the German Cup semi-finals and final. We should definitely end this season. For reasons of fairness but also to limit the economic damage," said Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
When I listen to managers complaining or moaning, I understand it. Emotionally, it's really tough to take. I also have sympathy for the referees and, in this case, VAR officials because there are rules that have been laid down. It was one where common sense could have been involved but, if the rule book states something, then the handball is given. He added: "VAR has improved us in ways but there are ways to improve it.
It's around this time of year that clubs start preparing to reveal their kit designs for next season. But we might have to wait a little this time around, so we've been reminiscing and appreciating some of the most iconic kits from years gone by. We asked BBC Sport journalists for their suggestions and, although there were plenty of classic kits that didn't make the cut, we've narrowed it down to the 20 below.
It makes me more hungry to come back and do well. The France international suffered a foot injury in August that he aggravated by continuing to play. I had a cast on it, a plaster-cast, so it went very well but too well.
