Friday's Irish Cup final between Ballymena United and Glentoran is set to be the first played in front of spectators in the UK since March. Restrictions imposed to combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic led to a suspension of action and when games resumed they were behind closed doors. Ballymena and Glentoran have both been allocated 250 tickets for the final at the National Stadium at Windsor Park.
Was initially thinking of taking a handicap bet on the guests in this one if odds were bellow 1.70 but once more Bet365 offers just the odds I want to take a straight bet on the away win in this one with both the big club of Minsk and the reserve club of this team being in great shape in this start of the season scoring plenty of goals, the big club won 3-1 at Belshina and 3-2 at home with Dinamo Minsk while the reserves also won 3-1 at Belshina while drawing 2-2 at home with Din. Minsk so very good scoring form.
Lask Linz fc will go head to head with Rapid Wien fc, this game will be full of confusion to know what will happen at the end of regular time because the last game of their head to head have been won by Rapid Wien with four goals to nil at this venue.
His side played admirably in the second half to push Liverpool back and might have snatched a draw had substitute Giovani Lo Celso not wasted a glorious late chance. But he knows he faces a tough task to provide Champions League football again next season with Tottenham now in eighth place and nine points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
1. FSV Mainz 05 - 1. FC Union Berlin Live - Bundesliga Where to watch Mainz vs Union Berlin in the Bundesliga in Australia.
Guadalupe started season after the break with a win at home with 1-0 and a draw on the road but it is more than clear that they are much better team at home and obviously big favorite for the win tonight and that is also because on the other side Perez zeledon is in very bad form and they lost both games after the break, the only good thing for them is that they never listed in head to head on the road but I think that is going to change tonight and I Surely recommend this bet to anyone despite the odds
Chelsea should never have dropped points against Arsenal on Tuesday after going 2-1 up with six minutes left, against 10 men. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea do not have killer instinct - Lampard The Blues are a bit fragile at times but they should still have enough to get through this tie, even though Hull will have a real go at them. The game is a sell-out so there will be a great atmosphere at the KCOM Stadium, but I'd still back Chelsea.
But if you were, it would be the manner of this Liverpool victory that suggests they appear certainties to win the Premier League. Like in recent victories against Tottenham, Manchester United and Wolves, Klopp's side were far from their best. While they dominated possession they showed little end product until Salah's penalty but it was still good enough to deliver a 23rd victory from 24 matches - taking them to 70 points before January is out.
Espanyol have lost three of the matches they drew at half time in the last five games. Real Madrid have scored two or more in the four matches since resumption. Espanyol have conceded two or more in nine of 15 home league matches this season. Espanyol have won twice in 15 home league matches. Real Madrid have not trailed at the break in the last six league matches.
Well I don't expect much goals here. This is the big final and both teams will get into it with precautions. Both teams got here Preddy luckely. Napoli beat Inter 3-2 at aggregate while Juventus got here against Milan because of the goal scored as a visitors. Both coaches main priority will be not to concede a goal that's for sure and I expect that not to happen.Both teams will get into their full power for sure which is a plus for this pick. This is very important game for both of them and I don't think that they will force too much and risk potential counter attack.
Although they didn't come into the season as anything close to promotion favourites, the prospect of Barrow winning promotion to League Two is a very real one and the side have put in a fantastic campaign thus far. After 28 matches, the hosts have an impressive 55 points; enough to put them top of the National League pile with a 3 point margin of error.
The winger was keen and so was manager Graeme Souness, only for the deal to break down. I made the mistake of telling one of my mates, who told his mate, who phoned a newspaper," Dick says. Two days later the headline wasn't 'Ally Dick signs for Rangers', it was 'RC [Roman Catholic] signs for Rangers'. Souness phoned me and said things had got a little out of hand so they were just going to shelve the move for the time being.

Lawro's prediction: 3-0Katie's prediction: 4-3Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. How did Lawro do last week?Last weekend, Lawro got one correct result, with no exact scores, from 10 games for a total score of 10 points - his lowest tally of the season so far. He was beaten by synth-pop singer-songwriter Georgia, who got six correct results, with no exact scores, for a total score of 60 points.
Of course during the match I expect them to forget me. Mourinho, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino, said he has spoken to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy regarding the futures of Belgium centre-halves Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen. All three are out of contract at the end of the season and are free to speak other clubs from January. If I tell you that I didn't speak with Mr Levy about Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen, I would be lying," he admitted.

Gorodeya will against Shakhtyor in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the end score is under 2 goals due to Gorodeya and Shakhtyor can't make score. Moreover Gorodeya and Shakhtyor have match in head to head on last match always the end score is under 2 goals. Therefore, my prediction that score can be happen again is under 2 goals. Beside that Gorodeya on last 9 match in club friendlies only can make score 12 goals. Likewise Shakhtyor on last 8 match only can make score is 9 goals. Surely the both team only have small score.
But if they don't achieve promotion, they will have to cut spending significantly in the third season - by possibly selling players or assets - to bring them under the £39m limit. You can lose £39m over three years in the Championship but it's clearly not stopping clubs - a points deduction is a slap on the wrist," said Sharpe. The EFL said that it has "demonstrated that appropriate action will be taken in accordance with our regulations when breaches are identified".
There was one player in the Jacuzzi after training and I remember Carra tearing him to shreds for basically disrespecting the football club. Momo' the rabbit and 'Crouchy' the dogAs Crouch shows his wife Abbey the footage of Cahill's goal, he suggests the fault lies with Sissoko, who appears to have a special place in the Crouch household. Abbey confirms their pet rabbit is named after the defender, while the latest Crouch addition has already adopted the family name.
Juste, rarely threatened the visitors. Borussia Dortmund enjoyed an even more dominant afternoon, demolishing Union Berlin 5-0 with two goals from Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland. Jadon Sancho opened their account in the 13th and teenager Haaland added another five minutes later. Dortmund scored twice more after the break with Marco Reus and Axel Witsel before Haaland drilled in his seventh goal in his three games for the Ruhr valley club so far.
England 2-1 Mexico, World Cup - 2015 To score my first goal at a World Cup with my head was pretty funny as I'm useless usually. It was important in the end because Mexico got one back so we needed that two-goal cushion. We had lost the first game in the tournament and confidence wasn't where it had been. I remember having the conversation with our manager Mark Sampson that I wasn't going to start the first two games.
A lot of jobs in football depend on this. We hope and would be happy if football could start as soon as possible in order to safeguard these jobs. A resumption of the league any time soon is unlikely with the coronavirus epicentre now in Europe. It has so far killed more than 8,200 people and infected over 200,000, globally.
Despite finishing 20th in League Two in each of the past two seasons, a wave of optimism is sweeping through Vale Park following the arrival of new owners in May who paid slightly more than the reported £4m. After six and a half years under Norman Smurthwaite, the Staffordshire club is in the hands of husband and wife Kevin and Carol Shanahan, who own an IT firm which employs 350 people next door to Vale Park.
With the Tigers bound for Elland Road, Leeds have been priced up as the heavy favourites to come away with a result. the hosts are chasing their sixth straight victory in the Championship, as they look to make first place their own.
Liam Heath MBE will compete at his third Olympic Games having won sprint bronze in the K2 200m alongside Jon Schofield in London and silver in Rio before being crowned Olympic Champion in the K1 200m three years ago. The four canoe slalom athletes selected - Mallory Franklin, Kimberley Woods, Adam Burgess, and Bradley Forbes-Cryans, will all make their Olympic debuts in Japan.
Furthermore, Rangers have conceded just five goals in their seven Scottish Premiership home games this season. We expect Kilmarnock to have a difficult time trying to break down an impressive Rangers defence in this Boxing Day clash.
While their hosts may be known for their defensive strengths, that is not something which is true of the visitors. They have conceded in all but one of their away league matches this season and, given that they have also conceded in each of their last eight league matches, it looks like a record which is not going away any time soon.
United stunned City in an impressive 2-1 league victory last month at the Etihad Stadium, just three days after they edged Tottenham Hotspur by the same scoreline. Solskjaer said those performances are now a benchmark for his United squad. We've got to aim for performances like that," he said. But every game lives its own life and when you get highs like that, I'm sure they will look back on it and say, 'that's the Man United we want to see'.
Season two of Sunderland ’Til I Die is out on Wednesday and, spoiler alert, things don't get any easier for Sunderland fans. The first series detailed the Black Cats' miserable relegation from the Championship and the latest, which starts on Netflix on Wednesday, features a surge of hope in League One before two crushing defeats at Wembley. The finale - the last-minute play-off final defeat by Charlton - is painful viewing for Sunderland supporters, no more so than for the series’ producers Ben Turner and Leo Pearlman, who are both Sunderland fans themselves.
LIVERPOOL, England, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Everton scored twice in the second half thanks to a piece of brilliance from Richarlison and late opportunism from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to claim a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on Saturday and move up to seventh in the Premier League. After Christian Benteke had cancelled out Bernard's opener with his first Palace goal since April, Richarlison picked up the ball on the halfway line, drove into the area and unleashed an unstoppable shot for his ninth league goal of the season.
This defeat means they are now without a win in front of their own fans since their impressive 2-1 victory against champions Manchester City on 26 September. Despite that worrying run, there were positives to take from this performance as they dominated a surprisingly subdued Wolves side for well over an hour. This display, coupled with the one in their 1-1 draw with second-placed Leicester last weekend, should give concerned home fans some comfort, but having let slip a lead for a second game in a row, Daniel Farke's side need to start improving their ability to close out matches.
Typically strong as hosts, Tigres should be able to do exactly but they do need to start tightening up their defence if they are to meet objectives. Indeed, both teams have now scored in Tigres' last 3 competitive outings as well as 6 of their last 10 Liga MX home games and a 3-2 friendly defeat to Santos Laguna in their last match hardly suggests improvement is forthcoming on the defensive front.

Further forward, recently installed manager Quique Setien has plenty of options to support key man Lionel Messi, who has again carried the team this season by recording league-high totals of 18 goals and 12 assists. Against Napoli in midweek, Setien opted for Messi and Antoine Griezmann in attack, stacking the midfield with a narrow quartet of Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Frenkie de Jong and Arturo Vidal.
Everton were reduced to two fully fit midfield men in Tom Davies and Gylfi Sigurdsson and yet still carried a combative edge right up until that sickening 95th-minute finale. Silva has been robbed of key midfield duo Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin with long-term injuries, while Fabian Delph was also out and Morgan Schneiderlin was only fit enough to be a substitute.
With both teams currently lacking the confidence and cutting edge to outscore the other, we think the likeliest outcome for Saturday's game is a draw, and that full-time result selection looks an attractive option at the prices available.
Speed is keyThere is no great secret to Dortmund's recruitment policy. Ask Ricken what features the club's scouts and coaches are looking for as they try to develop young players and the answer is universal. Technical skills are very important. And the quickness and speed of action," he said. Players in our first team are all so fast. It is unbelievable. A few months ago, we had a player from a foreign country who was playing for our under-17s and he wasn't fast enough, so we decided not to make the transfer.
How they were left to rue their wastefulness. Firstly, James Forrest might have scored had he shown a little more belief at the back post after Mohamed Elyounoussi had swung in a terrific cross. Then, Elyounoussi, after starting the move by ransacking the visitors in his own half, fired over when he should have, at the very least, tested Karl-Johan Johnsson in the Copenhagen goal. Celtic were slick and menacing.
Stal Mielec Will play against Lech Poznan in the Polish cup on Tuesday. Stal Mielec lost last game to Termalica B-B by 0-3 before that they Defeated Grudziadz by 5-0 in the league game. They Defeated Blekitni by 2-1 in the 1/8 Final. While Lech Poznan are unbeaten from last four games in the Ekstraklasa. But two of the last three matches finished in Draw. They only lost one of the last 13 matches in Ekstraklasa. They Defeated S. Wola by 2-0 in 1/8 Final of this tournament. Lech Poznan are top Division team so likely to progress further in the cup .
But Championship clubs lost a combined £300m, with a ratio of players' wages to turnover of 107%. Deloitte believes teams in the division should work to a salary cap of 70% of revenue to ensure their survival. Jones said: "You've got 107% of revenue going out on wages. You can see the problem looming. A salary cap is a blunt instrument, but if you can only spend 70% of revenue on salary, and applied that in 2018-19, you take £300m out of the wage bill and wipe out the losses.
I'm very fast, I'm skilful, I'm strong, I have good techniques, so I can find my way in the field of play," he said. They have a striker that stays mostly in the middle, but Martial likes to come from the side, even Rashford, so you need someone in the middle that can keep the ball, hold the ball. They need a physicality up front to keep the ball, to give and to make some movement, which I believe if everything goes well I can add to the team.

a football match in the Morocco el botola league between the team of Mat Tetouan and the team of RSB Berkane, I will go for a draw here in this match. The visitors have been good lately and they are better than mat tetouan so I think that the won't lose this match.
