Lecce's players have been dribbled past by an opponent more often than any other side in Serie A in 2019/20 (156 times), whilst only AC Milan (155) and AS Roma (149) have made more dribbles than Fiorentina (146). That’s obviously been helped by the impact of Franck Ribery on a talented, young Fiorentina squad. Expect them to get plenty of joy going forward this weekend.
Of their 132 days in the top four, 117 have been in fourth, including each of the last 97. The most points they have been above fifth place is seven, most recently on 29 NovemberSutton: "Frank Lampard's side have had some extremely good results, but also some very bad ones, losing to West Ham, Southampton and Bournemouth at home. The Blues do not have a problem creating chances but they do not convert enough of them and they have looked fragile defensively at times.
While Gattuso has issues, his opposite number is breaking new ground. Inter's Antonio Conte is looking to record his 100th Serie A win as manager in what is his 145th match; he would become the fastest manager to reach this milestone among the coaches who made their debut in Serie A from 1994-95 onwards. Could the former Juve boss continue his Serie A dominance here?
Twente have only won one of their last five league games and Vitesse haven’t won any of their last five Eredivisie, and the hosts have only won three of their eight home games this season while the visitors have avoided defeat in half of their away games. Twente average 1.38 points per home game and Vitesse average 1.25 points per away game, which only adds further weight to our prediction for a draw on Saturday.
Cartagines should get better performance in the first round, but team fail to make goal chance in that one, for 2:0 loss. They are going to Zeledon, where squad had success in the previous seasons, and should be able to seek for win.
The court said that with leagues across the country shut down, they will give players the chance to exchange suspensions for fines. Some 90% of those fines paid by players for infringements such as violent play or fighting will be donated to hospitals or clinics treating COVID-19 patients. Each club can choose local institutions to help, or donate to a suggested list, a court spokesman said.

Groningen defeated Heerenveen 5-0, Zwolle 3-1 and Graafschap 2-0 at home, a 3-3 draw with strong Feyenoord and their opening home game was a bit of a disaster a 5-1 loss to Jong Vitesse at home, but otherwise their last 4 home games were quite good for them reason why they are favorites for winning this home game here.
On a more positive note, Sunderland come into this game having avoided defeat during the festive period, winning one and drawing three, so they should fancy themselves to do well against a Lincoln side that has struggled on the road. After all, their best performances have generally come at home, where they've only lost one out of 11.
Meanwhile, Rodgers, has confirmed the club is in talks over new contracts with two integral members of the title-winning team of 2015-16 - veteran defenders Christian Fuchs, 33, and Wes Morgan, 36. Both players have been immense for me," said Rodgers. It's not just on the pitch, it's their qualities off the pitch that are very important. Negotiations with them are ongoing and we'll see where it takes us.
Government sources indicate the scheme is open to all businesses and it is up to individual clubs to decide whether to apply. But by furloughing non-playing staff while continuing to keep squads on full pay, Spurs, Newcastle United and Norwich City have provoked an inevitable outcry, and also put major pressure on players - and the PFA - to agree to a deal that would see players have their pay deferred or even cut - as has happened at clubs in Europe.
Santander is last in the table, but collected 4 points in the last two games before the Corona break and is now 7 points behind the save zone. Lugo has 6 points more, but also occupies a relegation place and is in 20th place and 2 points behind the safe places. I'm taking a draw in this game, which is extremely important for both teams as both are both in a relegation zone. Racing santander has 9 draws at home in 15 games played. Lugo has 7 draws in the 15 trips. Three of the last five between these two teams ended draw.
Juve the opportunity to prove themselves again here, with the club losing twice to Lazio in the last few weeks, one of which came at this ground. However, they are out to extend what has been a largely good run against Roma. While Juventus have failed to score in their last two away league games against Roma, the last time Roma kept three consecutive home clean sheets against Juventus came back in the 80's. Given how this Juve side has changed, they should do well here.
This game has good chances to end up with both teams scoring as well as most likely exact 3 goals scored or maybe 4, last season Brighton won both games against Crystal Palace in the league winning first with 3-1 at home and also winning here at this stadium with 2-1, so they did concede both times one goal but attack had no problem breaking through the Crystal Palace defense and taking 6 out of 6 points last season against this opponent.

EDINSON CAVANI (forward, 32, Paris St-Germain)Linked with: ChelseaFrank Lampard has accused his Chelsea team of "causing their own problems" with their lack of cutting edge. Could Edinson Cavani fit the bill?Uruguay international Cavani has been pushed down the pecking order at Parc des Princes behind new arrival Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and - when he is fit - Neymar. Cavani has scored just three goals this season, his contract is up in June and he could be available at a decent price in January, although they could face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid.
I don’t think we should stop talking about the top four,” he said. For us it’s about concentrating on what we’re doing here and now and not look up, down, sideways. We just need to work on our own game and our own confidence. The Warm-Up: Are Manchester United really back? After back-to-back wins against Spurs and Manchester City, are Manchester United back in business? 09:20 - 'Arsenal can't afford to give Ljungberg a chance' Former Arsenal forward John Hartson has warned his old club not to be sentimental in giving Freddie Ljungberg a chance to prove himself as manager.
Ashkelon is one of the worst teams in the league with just 12 points ts but I think they have good chance of winning this game today because Ramat Hasharon is not so good and despite the seems to be in good shape, they are really not, they beat two bad teams recently and then lose from team which is nothing better than Ashkelon and if Ashkelon wants to have hope to avoid relegation they need to win points at home and on this Odd I Will risk with them but I m not sure and I surely do not recommend it
Last November, a children's football club made the headlines when the mother of one player subjected a child in the rival team to racist slurs. The club issued a strongly worded statement against "the disgusting event", and said that, in support of the child, all players from both teams would attend the next game with their faces painted black.
The 35-year-old lifted six major trophies in six years with City before stepping down from his role in February, and during that time he worked with enough of the current England squad to fill an entire starting XI and most of the bench. He named nine English players in his entirely British starting XI on the day City clinched their first league title in 2016 and has a strong relationship with senior Lionesses, including captain Steph Houghton, midfielder Jill Scott and striker Ellen White.

It's going to be a tough task for Inter to get back into the title race. They might have to win all their games and hope for at least a couple of slip-ups from Juventus and Lazio. Inter are still in the Europa League though, so they have a lot to play for in the coming weeks. The same applies to their opponents but for different reasons. They are only a point above the drop zone and need to get some wins to stay in Serie A. That's unlikely to come this weekend, go for a home victory.
He was a huge influence. He was brilliant from a motivation point of view, but he was also strict - he told you what he thought. But just to be alongside Danny and play with him, and what a player. Denis Irwin: Denis was a cultured full-back. He was in that Manchester United side that won the Champions League. He was a brilliant player. Roy Aitken: Mick McCarthy could handle himself. He was a great organiser, and I could have picked him, but Roy Aitken had great strength, pace, he was unbelievably fit and strong.
Inter were one of four Serie A clubs to postpone their game last weekend with more league matches affected this weekend. Five games, including Juventus versus Inter in Turin on Sunday, will be played without any fans. A number of Italian sporting events have been affected and on Wednesday it was announced that Ireland's men's and women's Six Nations games against Italy in Dublin on 7 and 8 March would be postponed because of the virus.
These two sides drew 3-3 on opening group game at Chelsea U19 who is just 3rd in this group at this moment with only 5 points despite beating Ajax U19 on the road with 1-0, they only drew 3-3 with Valencia at home and 1-1 with Ajax the last game and lost at Lille as well, but the hosts are without any chance of claiming 2nd place, they lost 3 games in a row and I watched them being down 5-1 at home to Ajax and their defense was a pure joke, but not that bad at scoring.
I never complain at the guy with the whistle because it's not the referee any more. I think the referee should always be the man on the pitch and the people in the office should just support and assist. That's not the way it is. The referee who is not very good on the pitch, we cannot expect that he's good in the office. We're going in a direction that's really bad for the beautiful game, the game that everybody fell in love with.
The poor result at the Etihad against the Ukrainian champions meant that City have now one only one of their last four games, and the team's fragility at the back continues to hamstring their pursuit of honours on multiple fronts.

The Bundesliga is very tight this season and I know everyone in Germany wants to see that," Bayern coach Hansi Flick said. There are several teams that have the quality to become champions. We want to hold on to our position until the end. We know it will be tough. KLINSMANN CRISIS Hertha Berlin have failed to pull away from the relegation battle despite spending more than 70 million euros ($76.
New boss Neil Warnock guided Middlesbrough to a valuable 2-0 win over Stoke City in his first game in charge of the Championship strugglers. Boro, who replaced Jonathan Woodgate with the veteran in midweek, enjoyed only their second win in 13 games, dragging their opponents into the relegation dogfight in the process. Ashley Fletcher headed Boro in front just before the half-hour, glancing in Patrick Roberts' swinging free-kick from the right.
Napoli are second in Group E with nine points, while Genk are bottom of the group with just one point. While it is all over for Genk, Napoli needs a draw to be sure of a place in the second round. It has not been so rosy for Napoli lately; they go to this game winless in their last nine matches; they have really dropped in Serie A and can only hope for a positive result here.
Home team is great team and I believe that they will not have any problems to win in this duel from Belarusian Premier league - that is pretty clear and real. So, this team is with BATE Borisov, biggest favorite for the title this season and they are playing very good. I was watched all their duel from last round, when they are beat Gorodeya as a guests, 2-0, so I believe that they will be on that level and this time. Neman is team who is most of their points winning at home, and as a guests, they are poor.

Red Star Waasland-Beveren is having a very good falling point with the recent 3 consecutive victories. Remember, Red Star Waasland-Beveren had previously gone through a series of nine non-winning matches from early October to early December. However, everything seemed to be out of control. Since the victory over Gent in early November, the hosts have had 7 games without winning on the fronts, including 5 matches in the league.
So instead of gaining a morale boost before next week's final, Villa fans are fearing a repeat of last month's 6-1 drubbing by City - followed by the growing prospect of an immediate return to the Championship. Man of the match - Moussa Djenepo (Southampton) Despite suffering a cut to the head, the Mali winger covered more ground than any other player (11.

Almere city sit on 9th spot right now. They have some mixed performance recently. They have won only once in their last 5 matches. They recorded 6 wins 4 draws and 5 losses in their last 15 matches and I expect them to lose points here as well.
But you have to see what Liverpool and Manchester City have been doing for two years and the gap they have opened up, it is the challenge all of us have to close. If we can sustain Champions League football, we would probably gain confidence from a finish like that. The kids are alright Mason Mount made 44 appearances for Derby under Lampard last termWhile Mount, Tomori and Abraham have become regulars under Lampard, the likes of Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Billy Gilmour have also left their mark on the Blues first team this season.
And not just prolong his career but actually improve as a player. Not many people look to do that when the end is in sight. The comparison I would draw from the the football world would be Ryan Giggs. He was always the one guy I looked at as a great example of a player who changed the way he played to prolong his career and stay at the top. I think that's a natural thing that a lot of athletes will figure out as they go along but Roger has done that on an unbelievable level.
Giroud may get new Chelsea deal Olivier Giroud could extend his stay at Chelsea, after having almost left the club in January. The striker was out of favour under Frank Lampard and looked to be heading for the exit door, but could not secure a move. He is out of contract in the summer and Football London report that preliminary discussions have taken place regarding a new deal.
The fund was established after meetings between Premier League players including Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Manchester United's Harry Maguire to discuss the best way to help during the crisis and has partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT). Professional footballers had come in for criticism for their response to the crisis, with health secretary Matt Hancock saying earlier this month that Premier League players should "take a pay cut and play their part".
That has left them off the pace in the chase for the top four spots, seven points from fourth-placed Chelsea with half the season remaining. Against sides who take the game to them, Solskjaer’s focus on young, quick attackers has paid off as they exploit the space behind the defence and make the most of Marcus Rashford and Daniel James’ direct play on the wings.
It was just what they needed to consolidate their leadership of the standings and they can dare dream of another league title. Chiefs will however want to address their attacking woes, having failed to score more than a goal in their last six matches. Defensively, they have done fairly well, with three clean sheets in the last five matches and the one against Pirates will for sure push them.
The Bavarians trained in groups of five but without any contact, just like Borussia Moenchengladbach, VfL Wolfsburg and others. Video - Bayern's 'cyber training session' in coronavirus lockdown02:28 Bottom club Paderborn also trained in small groups with coach Steffen Baumgart saying it was important for the players to be back on the pitch.
Jim Goodwin's side has struggled for goals this season, although not so much in recent weeks despite some bad results along the way, with the Buddies scoring at least once in 3 of their last 5 games but have averaged a measly 0.83 goals in their home ties this season. However, their defensive record on home soil has been impressive too, as the Paisley outfit has conceded just 0.33 times and has conceded in only 2 of their 6 home games.
