THURSDAY Sheff Utd v NewcastleSheffield United keep on picking up points and I am very aware I have not tipped them enough to win (in the league table below, which is based on Lawro's predictions) this season. I keep thinking they will run out of steam but that has not happened, and they have already shown that they are far better than I thought they were. I thought they would stay up but I did not expect them to be as high as they are, and they just look so comfortable at this level.
I don't know why but for me IMO this is very good value. I mean yes, Vitebsk are lately at much better form but Zhodino are the team with most quality and for sure with far more experienced players. After that very good start for the hosts they are now dealing with a tough period. They have only 1 won at the last 5 games and if u ask me today they have the perfect opportunity to get out of that crisis. Vitebsk I got to say are doing outstanding lately, and they don't know for a lost at the last 7 games which moved them to the 8th place. But still despides the better form when it comes to quality and experience Torpedo are by far the best team. Lipe Veloso, Ramos , Gorbachik, Yashin this are all great players that can make the difference at matches like this for sure .Traditionally Zhodino most of the time doesn't have any troubles against Vitebsk.
How phenomenal Real Madrid were in the last round when they beat Barcelona in El Clasico. Even Lionel Messi could not help his team at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. Now the “creamy” leaders in the standings and now is not the best time to lose points. Perhaps they have to fly out in the Champions League from Manchester City, so that all hopes will remain only on Example.

What followed was a glorious thrill ride that provided a thousand tales of Charlton's eccentric approach (although he was perhaps wily enough to use some of that to cover up an incredibly shrewd tactical mind and superb knowledge) and a period of success that still brings a warm glow to Ireland whenever it is recalled. Charlton wore an iconic white cap while managing the Republic of Ireland at the 1994 World CupCharlton made good use of eligibility rules to build a formidable side with players born outside the Republic of Ireland, such as central defender Mick McCarthy and forwards Tony Cascarino and John Aldridge among others.
Che Adams scored twice after John Lundstram's opener for Chris Wilder's side, who finished ninth following an excellent first campaign back in the English top flight. Burnley's Nick Pope had hoped to secure at least a share of the Golden Glove with Ederson, but his chances of a 16th league clean sheet of the season were ended after 20 minutes against Brighton, by Yves Bissouma's excellent long-range strike.

Swiss prosecutors have launched legal proceedings against Fifa president Gianni Infantino. It is in relation to an alleged secret meeting the head of world football's governing body held with the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber. Lauber last week offered to resign after a court said he covered up the meeting and lied to supervisors during an investigation by his office into corruption surrounding Fifa.
It may have been unambitious, but it was also accomplished. There was a resilience and authority to Bayern’s defending that was not always evident at the other end, where Johnsen and Schmeichel were very jittery for the first half hour. United were grateful for the majestic Stam, who was a nose ahead of Beckham as their outstanding performer.
We have a chat every day without fail. Big Alex McLeish loves a bit of banter. For any local boy to even play for his club is a massive achievement but for myself and Neale to have the success that we did in the 1980s under Sir Alex, even just winning a domestic trophy would have been a great achievement. But to win the Cup Winners' Cup with Aberdeen and to win the Super Cup as well, it's the stuff dreams are made of.
Rukinzo today will be meeting with the away team Musongoti and this game looking at it in a very good way we have seen that the away team is capable of winning this game is looking at the last games with other teams the away team have being doing well in both home and away games and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction
We have to do that together. Together we have to achieve a comeback. The former Crystal Palace midfielder started his managerial career at Reading in 1999, before taking charge at West Ham, Charlton, Southampton, Newcastle, Palace and West Brom. He led both the Hammers and Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final. We are very happy with the appointment of Alan, who has earned his spurs in English football," said Den Haag general manager Mohammed Hamdi.
However, that pre-game assessment by PSG boss Thomas Tuchel was not about any of those much-hyped superstars. It was about Real striker Karim Benzema. In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real for a then world-record £80m fee from Manchester United and Benzema was approached to replace him at Old Trafford. The France forward rejected the move and instead the two became team-mates as he too joined the Spanish giants from Lyon for £30m.
BARCELONA, March 31 (Reuters) - Spain's La Liga could recommence in July without spectators, the head of a major broadcaster has said, adding that the season was likely to be cancelled if a player tested positive for the coronavirus once the campaign had restarted. All organised soccer in Spain has been on hold since March 10 due to the spread of the deadly virus although Jaume Roures, CEO of Spanish multimedia group Mediapro, predicted that matches could resume behind closed doors in three months' time.
Taiwan University won here in the previous duel 3:2. Now it could be harder, since they did not started well, and have lost all the games except against Ming Chan University. They played good for longer period in the previous round, but then drop for a lot of goals conceded against Taipower.
Zwolle and Feyenoord will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Zwolle this season have the following results: 6W, 4D and 12L. Meanwhile Feyenoord have 11W, 7D and 3L.

I had hoped that the FA, as the game's governing body, would have been able to examine whether its own board was appropriately constituted to represent a diverse game and share its thinking with council. This process is happening across football but will not now happen with respect to the FA board. He added: "As FA chairman this disappoints me". Other options discussed included giving the professional and national Games an extra board seat each "that could provide the flexibility to allow appointment of diverse candidates should they be the best qualified person for the role.
While things may not be that bad yet, with the side just one point off third-placed Aberdeen, the problem manager Stephen Robinson has is that there is not necessarily a clear problem with his team. At least not a consistent one. Against Celtic, the front three of Jermain Hylton, Chris Long and Rolando Aarons looked bright and offered reason for hope, despite the heavy scoreline. Against St Johnstone, they were totally ineffective and, had it not been for a bizarre stroke of luck, they would have not been on the score-sheet at all.
The Champions League, however, is not their priority. We played well, but we lost the game. Spurs) arrived in (the box) twice and scored two goals. I don't have too many things to say about our performance," he said. We have to accept it and work on that. We need to analyse that. Football is to create chances and concede few.

Mourinho's penalty woes continue Will a Jose Mourinho side ever win a penalty shootout in England?Jose Mourinho must be sick of the sight of penalty shootouts.

Derby were charged by the EFL for a breach of spending rules in January and are reportedly fighting to maintain cashflow with football suspended due to the coronavirus. They are confident of paying players this month but are in discussions with the EFL and PFA. Paper Round’s view: The suspension of the season is hitting many clubs financially and Derby don't appear to be an exception.
Mansfield Town have not been shy about splashing the cash in recent years as they bid to climb the football pyramid, but while they have somewhat stagnated in League Two this term, their ambition remains without doubt. That ambition was underlined when they convinced Graham Coughlan to leave his post as Manager of League One club Bristol Rovers and join the side in the division below.
At that stage, both teams had 40 points from 30 games - but they have gone in opposite directions in the past few weeks. The Eagles have lost all seven of their matches since then, while Spurs are finishing their season strongly and Harry Kane is scoring goals again. I'm expecting more of the same here. Lawro's prediction: 0-2James' prediction: 0-2 Everton v BournemouthTo stay up, Bournemouth need to win this game and hope Aston Villa and Watford both lose - but whatever happens elsewhere, I don't see the Cherries getting the result they need.
Granit fc are running a bad form so far they have three consecutive losses they have sustained this season of division one of Belarus, so as compared to the visitors they are not strong enough to contain the visitors so I am backing the visitors to take all points.
Manchester United have won their last four Premier League home games. Paul Pogba has averaged two shots per game in his home appearances for Man United this season. 11 of Danny Ings' 19 Premier League goals have been scored away from home. Manchester United will be looking to go 18 games unbeaten in all competitions when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Monday.
They travel to La Liga 2 side Raya Vallecano in the last 32 of the Copa del Ray. Betis are playing their third straight away game in this year's competition. They have had to get past two teams from the fourth tier of Spanish football and have scored even goals without conceding. Betis are in good form at present with only one defeat in their last nine league and cup games.
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. The host cities are Glasgow, Dublin, Bilbao, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich, Rome, St Petersburg, Bucharest, Budapest and Baku, with the climax set for London's Wembley Stadium.
They should also have had at least a consolation goal near the end, but somehow substitute Oliver McBurnie failed to poke the ball in from close range at the back post from a low cross. Man of the match - Jordan Henderson (Liverpool) Salah scored one and made one, but it was Henderson's strength, tackling and accurate distribution in midfield that helped keep Sheffield United penned in and Liverpool's boot on their throat.

Video - Juventus target Kane to complete lethal strike force – Euro Papers01:11 It would be commendable, had it not proved a disastrous move in the past.

Pau is on 2nd place just one point behind the league leaders at this moment with 41 points won by them so far this term, they are with two wins in a row from which their last home game is very impressive winning with no less than 7-0 at home against a Beziers side just above the relegation zone, and backed that result by winning last round on the road with 2-1 away from home at Red Star so scored 9 goals in their last two games.

The Pole converted a 53rd-minute penalty after Milos Degenek handled in the box and made it 3-0 on the hour from a fine assist by Tolisso. He headed in the fourth soon afterwards from a Benjamin Pavard cross and stunned Red Star again in the 68th minute. Tolisso completed the rout in the dying minutes with a simple finish.
It is going to be very hard for them to make it, whether it is fourth or fifth place that gets them back into that competition next season. They have already clawed their way back into contention for the top-four once this season - you probably remember Mourinho's analogy about climbing up the floors without any stairs - but doing it again is going to be even more difficult. They are on such a bad run of results, and that is not their only problem.
Pogba has barely featured at Old Trafford this term and has been widely linked with a move away from the club, with Real Madrid and Juventus among the mooted destinations. Solskjaer said in the run-up to the 2-0 win over Chelsea that "Paul is our player and not Mino's", prompting a furious response from the agent.
Werner then added a second in the 53rd, after a mistake from Brandt, to take his league goal tally to 18, joining Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski as top scorer, but Jadon Sancho put the hosts back in front two minutes later. Dortmund looked to be back in control until Patrik Schick was left unmarked to stab in the equaliser on the rebound in the 78th.
A captain's goal. That settles nerves. GOAL! Dalot with a beauty! The defender twists and turns into the box before sending an absolute rifle into the corner. Unstoppable. GOAL! Lingard with third and it's another glorious goal! Maguire drives at the heart of the Tranmere defence before laying off Lingard right on the 18-yard box.

In fact, if an agreement has taken a few days to be reached it is simply because we were seeking a formula to help the club and also to help its employees in these very difficult times. The number of coronavirus cases in Spain increased to 85,195 on Monday from 78,797 on Sunday, the country's health ministry said, as the infections surpassed those reported in China.
Claypole will host Deportivo Paraguayo for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have the potential to fight for all three points. Deportivo Paraguayo have a great results at the start of the new campaign. Visitors are undefeated in this campaign. They want to return unbeaten. In any case, they will try to make a positive result. On the other hand Claypole have advantage at home stadium. However, they are not convincing team. True, in last game Claypole is won 2-1 against weak Argentino de Rosario. I expect, this will be a tense match. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
Well it is interesting how the hosts could have lost the first leg played away from home at the 3rd league club of Lipoti with 3-1 in the end, but not worries they know very well they have what it takes to produce a big win at home and still make it through to the next round of this competition and I say this because the guests even in their 3rd league level lost their last away game with 4-0 there, so the hosts who are a 1st league side even though just fresh from the 2nd league level last season, are for sure capable of covering this asian handicap bet here.
A professional job still needs to be done but in strong form, Roma can be confident coming into the game. Indeed, they've won 6 of their last 9 games and having kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 outings whilst scoring an average of 2.25 goals game, the hosts are currently functioning very well at both ends of the pitch
