Doha, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia will meet Bahrain in the Arabian Gulf Cup final after Abdullah Al-Hamdan scored a first-half goal as they beat hosts Qatar 1-0 in the semi-finals on Thursday. Al-Hamdan headed home after 28 minutes and the Saudis withstood late pressure from the Asian champions to reach the final for the fourth time in the last six editions.
There is a top-three clash at Pittodrie as Aberdeen aim to exact revenge on Rangers, following a comprehensive 5-0 loss to Steven Gerrard's men at Ibrox earlier this season. Elsewhere in the full card of games, Celtic - just one goal ahead at the top of the Premiership - host a Hamilton side winless in their last eight. Hearts, who have made an offer to Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel to become manager, sit just ahead of St Mirren and St Johnstone on goal difference at the bottom of the table and are at home to Livingston.
Noble scored his second 10 minutes later from the penalty spot after being brought down by Harry Wilson, before Felipe Anderson completed the rout.

Victory was West Ham's second in six matches, while the defeat sees Bournemouth slip into the relegation places in 18th.
Galatasaray is really modest in the league in Turkey and they lost another game at home even against Basaksehir a few days ago losing with 1-0, same score with which they got beaten at home by both Paris SG and Real Madrid this group stage, while Club Brugge played two very good games on the road drawing 2-2 at Real Madrid but had the lead 2-0.
Players are hoping to set up a fund and there have been discussions among the squads, according to the Daily Mail. However, some of the overseas players have raised the point about helping health services in their home countries too. Paper Round’s view: It could be tricky for the players to come to a unified decision when some will be wanting to contribute to the efforts back home.
Both of these teams have played in very high scoring matches in their last games. This will probably be a low scoring match with only one goal. How many times have we seen a high scoring match between two teams and then see their following up match being low scoring. Both managers would have seen the matches played last week and will know they need to defend well in this entire match and it would be a defensive setup by both teams. Both will drop numbers back and the balls in the box will be used as well because of this
Marseille have scored two goals in each of their last four matches and we feel this momentum will be enough to carry them past this Angers side. The hosts have solid home form this season but haven't been as convincing in recent weeks at the Raymond Kopa, with rather underwhelming performances coming against far weaker teams than Marseille. They drew 1-1 with Amiens before losing 1-0 to Brest and with both these teams currently in the bottom six, there is room for improvement.
The decision about his contract has come about because of coronavirus and its impact on the women's football calendar. Idealy, the FA wants someone to take the side through the Tokyo Olympics - where the manager will lead a Great Britain team - the Euros and the 2023 World Cup so that there is continuity. But that means Neville would need to commit until 2023 and, the Olympics aside, he faces a further two years of friendly matches with England because of their host status for the European Championship.
Lazio have been fined 20,000 euros (£16,958) for their fans' racist abuse of Brescia striker Mario Balotelli. Sunday's Serie A match was temporarily halted and a stadium announcement made during the game urging away fans not to sing discriminatory songs to Balotelli. Balotelli, 29, later said the fans should be ashamed of themselves. The Serie A judge has asked for further details to be given to the Italian Football Federation prosecutor to decide if more sanctions are necessary.
Her innovative approach to menstrual tracking has been hailed as playing a key part in their World Cup triumph last summer. She returned to England in November to work with Neville's coaching staff. We have got someone with a really great experience of working with elite athletes," Neville said. Since the World Cup, I wanted to bring the best possible elite workers within my staff - and I think I have got that with Dawn.
This fixture features No. 14 vs No. 3 in the league, Sassuolo vs Lazio. The hosts coming from a 3 - 1 home win to Bologna (no. 15 in the league) and that is also their last home game. The visitors coming from a 4 - 2 home win to Lecce (No. 16 in the league) and their last away game a 1 - 2 win over AC Milan. The visitors should win this one as they played a higher table team than the hosts in their last away game scoring multiple goals and conceding but played a team lower than the hosts in their last game scoring and conceding multiple goals facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves, scoring and conceding multiple goals to win the match so an over 3 goals is best to tip here.
He's lifted the place, lifted everyone around him and it's still early days. I think he can get even better," former United winger Ryan Giggs told Sky Sports. City could be missing the services of their own midfield talisman Kevin De Bruyne due to a shoulder injury sustained in the League Cup final win over Aston Villa.
Vitesse will against PSV in match Netherlands Eredivisie. My prediction this match could be the won or draw for Vitesse. Vitesse have great result on last 3 match in the home on league due to Vitesse have won in 2 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, PSV have not good result on last 3 away match on league due to PSV only have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Therefore, I think that PSV will difficult to beat Vitesse in home match due to Vitesse more strong and always over confidence. Surely Vitesse never loss on this match.
I'm proud of the effort of the team. It's a massive disappointment to all of us, especially the players. Birmingham deserved to get to extra time with the effort we put in and how smart everyone played. That's the difference when you play with a team with such quality. Any chance can cost you a result. We need to congratulate Leicester because they made it through. We're still on the build and we need to keep going.

In terms of a correct score tip, we think that the hosts should be able to find the back of the net a couple of times. They average 1.43 goals per game on home soil and given that they recorded a morale boosting 2-0 win in the league last time out, they will be confident of repeating that trick. This, combined with the hosts keeping a clean sheet in 71% of their home matches and Tranmere conceding an average of 2.22 goals per game, suggests that backing a 2-0 home win is the safest bet to make.
Guabira and The Strongest will face each other in the upcoming match in the Clausura in Bolivia. Guabira this season have the following results: 4W, 3D and 9L.

Atlanta United’s win came right after a 3-0 triumph over Motagua in the Concacaf Champions League, and with two earlier matches before their league game, Atlanta were definitely the fitter of the two.

I always felt he had that belief in this team that after each final we maybe did not win, we would come back stronger, or when we have won, he knows that we'll keep going.

The past 15 teams to win away from home in the first leg of a League Cup semi-final have all progressed to the final, with Spurs the last side to fail to do so, against Arsenal in 1986-87.

In the first half, we didn't do that but in the second half, we did.
The gap is what it is," Guardiola said. After 28 fixtures, the gap is this. No doubts about this. They lost one game, they draw another one, it's because they deserve to be there.

Gattuso, who will be coaching in the competition for the first time in Tuesday's match, replaced Carlo Ancelotti in December with the team in disarray after the club fined the players for refusing to take part in a training camp.
