We feel Klinsmann's first game in charge of Hertha is likely to be an entertaining one on the pitch, so we are backing over 3.5 goals to be netted. Neither of these two teams are enjoying a particularly good run of form at present. Dortmund have failed to win each of their last three games, including their last two Bundesliga fixtures.
Apart from their three straight wins, Lille have scored in each of the last four matches. They have scored two goals in four of their last seven matches. They have two straight clean sheets going to the game but have conceded in the remaining four of the last six matches. Lille have four wins and three clean sheets in their last five home matches and have lost just once in their last 12 home matches in Ligue 1, winning nine.
Under 2.5 goals were produced when these two sides last met in February and under 2.5 goals were also produced in each of Vitoria Guimaraes’ and three of Portimonense’s last six matches. The hosts have drawn four of their last six matches and each one has ended 1-1 while the visitors have drawn three of their last five matches and each one have ended 1-1, so you can see why we have backed both teams to score and a final scoreline of 1-1 this weekend.
Messi's first Champions League final goal Barcelona 2-0 Manchester United, 27 May 2009If you can believe it, there was a time when people questioned whether Messi could do it against English clubs in Europe. He had failed to score in 10 Champions League appearances against English sides before the 2009 final. But there were no doubts any more when Messi rose highest in the box to head home Xavi's cross in his first Champions League final - and the first game billed as Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo.
Last season’s Champions League finalists Spurs are the latest to show an interest in Haaland. Eurosport investigate that potential transfer.

We take any such allegations extremely seriously and shall take the strongest possible action against any individual found to be behaving in such a way, including stadium bans. A fairly standard but callow statement. Each and every time racism occurs within a stadium the club who own said stadium follows the same template for the statement.

I believe in at least three goals in this match from Austrian Bundesliga and I will try that here. So, Rapid Wien is team who this season can beat any rival, but also, they can lose against any rival. This is important match for both teams and I really can said that both rivals are have surely 50% to win in this duel. Sturm Graz is in better form, but that is not mean that they will win here. I don't know what will happen here, but over is ok for me and I will try that. It is real.
At the end of his first season with Walsall, Curtis was due to join up with United's youngsters for a European tour, but a bout of Sever's disease - a painful inflammation of the heel common among adolescents - scuppered plans. Later, a surreptitious trial with Newcastle was arranged by Curtis's agent, the late former England striker Cyrille Regis, unbeknown to Walsall and Manchester United. They wanted me to go back for another two to three weeks, but I couldn't say I was sick for any longer than a week.
They host Bristol City who are fifth in the table but only three points behind the Londoners. Fulham are in great form at present having won each of their last four league games.

Home form has seen Fulham win three of their last four played at Craven Cottage.
We handed it back and did not know what it was going to be used for. That night or the next morning, everyone found an envelope under their door. We opened it to find everything that our team-mates and the staff had written about us, on strips of paper. It was quite emotional and very powerful. You really felt a sense of the team spirit and that was a fantastic thing to do right before the final. Graham Barrow, Wigan's first-team coach: "Nobody signed any of it, so you did not know who had written what, but you obviously had some idea.
The loan move in the winter window is looking extremely likely, with England under-21 international sitting behind Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi in the pecking order at Anfield. Brewster is yet to make an appearance for the Merseyside club in the Premier League this season and Liverpool believe that he would benefit from more first-team experience.
Footballers "have to give back" to supporters in times of crisis such as the coronavirus pandemic, says Crystal Palace's Andros Townsend.

Wolves have lost five of their six closing-day matches in the Premier League, winning the other against Sunderland in 2009-10.

Wolves have lost their first Premier League game in London since March 2012 (5-0 v Fulham), with Chelsea ending their 10-game unbeaten run in the capital.
Bartomeu, who is unable to stand for re-election as he has served two terms, became Barca president in 2014 after Sandro Rosell's resignation. He has faced increasing criticism from supporters, who staged noisy protests against him in the last two matches at the Camp Nou and called for his resignation.
It's hard to tell whether or not the Edinburgh club will continue with the high-scoring trend from MacPhee's first league game, as their average tally away from home currently rests at 0.83 goals, with the defence conceding an average of 1.33 on their travels. Moreover, the Jambos have only scored in 50% of away trips and failing to keep a clean sheet in 67% of those ties.

Newcastle United had goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to thank as they climbed to 10th spot in the table following a tense but scoreless draw with Norwich City at St. James's Park on Saturday. Despite being bottom of the table, the visitors came out all guns blazing, playing much of the opening 45 minutes in the Newcastle half and forcing Dubravka into two fine first-half saves to keep the scoreline level.
Brighton will be hoping to take advantage of the low scoring hosts, but while their season as a whole is going fairly well there are definitely some concerns floating around. One such concern is the fact that they’ve lost over half of their away games, and they’ve only actually won three of their 17 Premier League away days since the start of 2019.

Early on in the season, he asked Werner to drop back on occasions and engage in passing plays instead of hanging on the shoulder of the last defender all the time. He no doubt brings impressive statistics to the Chelsea line-up - he has scored 26 goals and provided eight assists in 32 league games this season - and he will offer Lampard the option of playing in a 4-4-2 alongside Abraham or out wide in a front three.
It's taken them a while, but under the stewardship of Mark Bowen, Reading are rapidly moving in the right direction. Prior to the fixture directly before Christmas Day, The Royals had won just one in six.

Here are the top three performers of the weekend. Sophie Ingle In truth, this could have gone to any of the Chelsea team on Sunday, as the Blues romped to a 4-1 victory at Meadow Park to continue their unbeaten run and blow the title race wide open. Beth England did what Beth England does, Sam Kerr opened her account in the FA WSL, but it was Ingle who stole the show in North London with a third goal right out of the top drawer.
Knockout football is the harshest of beasts and has made many in the pantheon of football managerial greats look all the more human, but not the big-stage firebrand that is Diego Simeone. The Argentine has steered his Atletico side to two Champions League finals and one semi-final in the last six seasons.
Instead of the 10% allocation as stipulated in Football League regulations, City received 3,000 tickets for the game, with United getting around 2,800 for the return leg at Etihad Stadium on 29 January.

It is also understood at the previous semi-final, there were flashpoints that made the clubs wary of the consequences of a repeat.

As a result, St. Polten continued to stay in the last position on the chart (the same 12 points as Trenkwalder Admira but poor in sub-index).
"Inter" once again broke out into the championship leaders and obviously does not plan to reach the achieved - the situation in the standings obliges guests to make a bet only for the victory.
