FC Millwall welcomes Wigan Athletic, both team are playing for something very important, the host need a place to qualify for the Championship Final round for promotion while the visitors are eager to move out around relegation zone. Millwall are 10th in the league with 24 points from 17 matches, scoring 20 goals against 22, winning in all 6 matches, 6 draws and 5 games lost. Wigan Athletic are playing very poor and in a very down form, 3 straight lost game, 20th in the league with 15 points from 17 matches, scoring 14 goals against 26, winning in all 4 matches, 3 draws and 10 lost games. The home team has more quality here.

Nike and I have common goals to elevate women's sports in the years to come.
TALKING POINT Antoine Griezmann has finally found his role in this Barcelona team. There have been recent signs that Griezmann is finally starting to find his place at the Camp Nou and this was arguably his best performance for Barcelona in terms of synchronisation with his teammates, Messi in particular.

Sivasspor still has the opportunity to compete for the championship. They are ranked 3rd in the rankings with 53 points, 6 points behind the top team. Even when unable to take the throne, a European Cup qualification next season is also within the reach of this team. Statistics show that Riza Calimbay's army is fully capable of creating a race to the attractive championship between 4 teams in the Super League this season. The next game is played at home to host a weak opponent, Kayserispor, this is a good opportunity for the host to look for 3 points to shorten the gap with the top team.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool forward has struggled to find form since joining Brescia in August, scoring two goals in eight league appearances. Last month, Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch after suffering racist abuse during a Serie A match against Hellas Verona. Mario is sad because he is unable to play his game," Cellino said on the Italian television programme Le Iene.
LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Here are the talking points from the weekend's action in the Premier League: RASHFORD THRIVING UNDER SOLSKJAER Marcus Rashford marked his 200th Manchester United appearance with two goals in his side's 4-0 thumping of Norwich City at the weekend to continue his finest season to date.
Brady unsure over Premier League restart West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady writes in the Sun that she is unsure whether the Premier League will be able to restart this season, saying: “The re-start is delayed until the virus is at least well under control, and who knows when that will be? Even then, matches could be behind closed doors.
From pre-season friendly tournaments through to the end of a major tournament it was 117 matches - so pretty much a game every three days for a whole year. View more on twitterBest game I've commentated onFrance v Brazil at the 2006 World Cup. Zinedine Zidane's last dance. He would end up getting sent off in the final, but going into that quarter-final it was widely expected that Brazil would knock France out and that would have been Zidane's last international appearance.
Sheffield Wednesday have had a good run so far in the cup with wins at Premier League team Brighton and Championship team QPR. But at the moment they are looking very poor with a 1-3-4 record in the last 8 games and losing 5 of the last 8 games at home.
Everton director of football Marcel Brands addressed a small group of angry supporters at the club's training headquarters after the humiliating FA Cup third-round loss at Liverpool. The group of seven fans arrived at the Finch Farm complex, in the Merseyside town of Halewood, on Tuesday. Everton lost 1-0 against an under-strength Liverpool team on Sunday. Brands spoke to the assembled fans for around 20 minutes in what is said to have been an amicable exchange.

It’s something they could really do without. TRANSFER MARKET WON'T OPEN OVERNIGHT But in terms of whether this transfer could happen, I think it’s impossible to say because the whole thing relates to football starting again. If, for example, the Premier League decided to void this season then football clubs are not going to have the full money that they anticipated.
The use of neutral venues would require a rule change, so clubs will need to vote on this matter. Various 'enhancements' to the broadcasting of matches are also due to be discussed at Thursday's meeting, including the possibility of camera access to dressing rooms, although that is understood to be unlikely. The Premier League is expected to offer a centralised plan for including fans in some way. European football clubs have used different methods to engage fans, with fans of Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus appearing via video link on a virtual grandstand during last weekend's derby match against Randers.
If we don't take timely action, I fear it will collapse. The new rules were confirmed after a meeting of the Chinese Football Association on Wednesday and do not extend to bonuses that can be paid, which could give clubs some flexibility to pursue star signings. Clubs will also be permitted to sign a fifth player from overseas, up from the current quota of four, but will only be allowed to field four foreigners on the pitch at any one time.

They’re down there due to a poor return on their travels, which has left Hull as the favourites for this weekend’s meeting. The Blues have conceded in 82% of their away games and failed to score in four defeats on the road. That’s a worry, with Hull in form ahead of this clash.
Montpellier currently sit 3rd if the table was adjudged by home results but they would be 17th based on away form. La Paillade have picked up just three of a possible 18 points on the road this season, losing three and drawing three. Away form has never really been a strong attribute of this Montpellier side as last season they closed out the campaign with just three wins in their final 13 away games and we feel we could see a similar demise here.
If it's not possible, it's not possible. For me the great thing is that we're all together on this at the club. There's nobody to blame and say you could do better than you did. We don't want a striker to just help us now, to be useful for us. We want a striker to be good for our future, possibly to play with Harry Kane together in the future.
This is a my second bet for tomorrow between Xanthi and Larisa. This is game from Greece Super League and will be very interesting for me to see how they play. They are on the middle of the league and Larisa has just two points more. Last ten games between them have got just one draw result and this is not normal for Greece. Xanthi have not win last four games and they will try to take this game but I think Larisa is not so easily for them. That's why for me the best option is draw maybe correct score 1:1
The visitors have lost each of their previous seven matches, which has put them in danger of the drop. That losing streak has left them bottom, but this has been a difficult campaign from the start. Brescia have lost 10 Serie A matches this season; 13 of the 14 sides with as many defeats after the first 13 league games were relegated at the end of the season – only Crotone in 2016/17 avoided the drop. If they’re going to avoid relegation, then beating the next-worst side in the division would be a start.
Separately, players have united to launch a fundraising initiative for the NHS and vulnerable people called Players Together. Southampton are one of a number of clubs to have publicly announced they will not be using the government's job retention scheme, and Ward-Prowse said: "It is very positive that the club have been able to come up with their own solution. With the Premier League suspended indefinitely and Southampton's Staplewood Campus and St Mary's Stadium closed, the players are training at home following tailored programmes.
But just like that, it was all taken away from the United fans as reports emerged on the morning of deadline day that the club was looking at Josh King in a bid to solve their striking problems. King is a former United striker, he was in the reserves when a young Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was beginning to cut his teeth in management and the pair share an agent.
I believe we will defeat this virus and I can't wait to be back playing matches. Wu is the first player from China to have contracted COVID-19, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. The start of the Chinese Super League season has been delayed indefinitely and China’s World Cup qualifying matches in March and June were postponed until October and November.
Don't let things bottle up inside, make sure it's out in the open and hopefully you will feel a lot better. I want to start playing as soon as it's safe'All Premier League games have been called off until at least 4 April. Asked what he missed most about football, Townsend said: "The adrenaline, the pressure, everything that goes with it. The England international, who has been playing eSports, added: "I entered a Fifa tournament last week for charity and there were 10,000 people watching on the stream at one point.
Celtic will play a derby match on their field against Rangers, no doubt, we can expect a interesting duel between old rivals. Celtic is leader at standings, with five points above second placed Rangers, but host has played one match more than Rangers. Celtic will play with one attacker, Edouard will be alone in attack, on the other side of the pitch will be Morelos, they are top scorers with 12th goals. Rangers usually plays with three attackers, but their coach S. Gerrard must be careful in this duel, because a defeat would be a worst result for visitors. Most realistic result would be a draw
Ajax comes from 2 disappointing performances, having lost the first leg of this clash vs Getafe by 2-0 and having also been beaten by a poor team like Heracles (1-0) in the last Eredivisie round. Getafe will have the target to score once above all, because it should be enough to qualify to the next round, but Ajax is one of the most offensive teams in the whole Europe and scoring twice or even more seems to be possible for them. Ajax has scored twice or more in 5 out of the last 6 home games, so an Over here is really likely in my opinion.
One more great match and of course derby match of this round in Champions league and another match where I surely see goals on both sides. Real Madrid is in this moment in pretty good form and we are saw that in match against Galatasaray when they are wrong even 6-0 at Bernabeu. PSG, on the other side is again have Neymar, after this Brazilian was had huge problems with discipline and also with injury. As I said, I see here at least four goals and I will try that. It is very real and ok to try that here.
Sheffield United qualifying for Europe in their first season in the big time? Too far-fetched. Hang on… could it happen? We’ll have to see when/if play resumes for the 2019-20 Premier League season – Sheffield United currently sit seventh in the table – two points behind fifth and five points off the top four, with a game in hand. Meanwhile, if you like football games you can touch – and, also, if you like your football past-times to have a pleasing, poetic profundity to them, you will most likely enjoy what this Cliftonville fan has done in recreating the Solitude stadium, whilst the real one sits empty during lockdown.
Hosts have 40 points and are sitting on 3rd place in the league mainly thanks to having scored the 3rd most goals so far in the league, 42 goals total but they have also conceded more than 30 goals as their defense is really not to be trusted and I see Zlin capable of even scoring 2+ goals in this one as in the 3 friendly games they have played during this pandemic break they scored 12 times winning even 5-0 away at top second league club Brno a few days ago a game which I watched and they simply attacked non-stop and kept on scoring goals.
The Liverpool player did not feature in Wednesday's game against Monterrey, which Liverpool won thanks to a late winner from Roberto Firmino. Video - The battle for Lautaro Martinez – Euro Papers01:41 The captain said: “It was different! I had fantastic players around me and they helped me out. When you have that quality around you, it makes it a little bit easier.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be back at home to take on Crystal Palace in the 37th round of matches in the Premier League this Monday. Going to the game, Wolves are placed sixth with 56 points and Crystal Palace 14th on 42 points. Wolves’ hopes for playing in the Champions League next season through their Premier League finish were crushed in the final minute of their game with Burnley last time out.
Denver go into this game with a 17-5 home record and are just ahed of Utah Jazz, while second overall in the Western Conference. January has been a good month for them with six wins out of eight. Only three of those matches have been athome with two wins and a defeat by Cleveland. Their last three matches have all been won though.
This is my fifth match on who I will bet today in Germany Bundesliga and that is pretty ok and real option, if we see how this two rivals are played before season was stopped, because of Corona Virus. So, Eintracht is not so strong like before, because club is left few great attackers - Luka Jovic, Rebic, Haller and few others, but they still can beat any rival in this league. Borussia M'Gladbach is better team, but we will see what will happen. I see here 2-1 win for one of rivals, or maybe 2-2. So I will bet on goals.

I know odds are not great on this over 2.5 goals bet but then again the first leg was quite cagey affair in Maldives and it still had 3 goals in it all of those goals being scored in the second half of the game and the hosts lost it 2-1 than, so Bengaluru needs to be scoring some goals today if they are to qualify and certainly have quality in their ranks winning last round no less than 9-1 at home against the champions from Bhutan Paro, although Maziya is a better side.
Beziers despite being above the relegation line at this moment just one point above the bottom clubs though they have the worst defensive record in the league so far as just in their last away game they conceded 7 goals all alone losing with 7-0 away at 2nd placed Pau, and they also have a couple of 2-2 draws on the road lately as well, this while earlier this season at home they drew 2-2 with Laval and it was 3 out of 3 games with Laval with over 3.5 goals being scored in them.
Dennis blow for Club Bruges Dennis has scored nine goals for Club Bruges this seasonUnited have been handed a huge boost by the news that their opponents will be without Emmanuel Dennis for the game. The striker put in a man-of-the-match performance in the first leg, scoring Bruges' goal with a clever chip. However, Dennis was injured in Sunday's win over Charleroi, along with captain Ruud Vormer, and both players will miss Thursday's game.
Home team has one of the better youth school in the Belarus, and they are among the top U 20 squad in this moment. Team will face Vitebsk, which is having a lot of issues in the recent two seasons, both in the senior team, but also with the younger categories.
It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens. It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.
