Nuno Espirito Santo likes his players to have a sharp eye and to be able to hit the target but it is not just in front of goal that the Wolves manager values accuracy. One of the factors that has enabled the 46-year-old former goalkeeper to lead his team to sixth in the Premier League is a focus on team morale and bonding. Since the start of his coaching career, the Portuguese has placed great emphasis on tight-knit squads, and it all starts with paintball.
Atalanta v Valencia KEY STAT: Valencia have progressed from two of their three Champions League knockout ties against Italian sides, including the only one played in the round of 16 (vs Internazionale in 2007). MOST GOALS Atalanta: Mario Pasalci (2) Valencia: Rodrigo Moreno (2) MOST ASSISTS Atalanta: Ruslan Malinovskyi, Alejandro Gómez, Hans Hateboer (1) Valencia: Daniel Parejo/Rodrigo Moreno (2) KEY PLAYER Atalanta: Duván Zapata Valencia: Rodrigo Moreno PREDICTION A remarkable turn in form and fortune saw Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side emerge from a Group C that also contained Manchester City, Shaktar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb despite losing their opening three fixtures.
And as club captain, his importance extends beyond the pitch. He is extremely popular among his team-mates and is enjoying growing recognition from the fans; for all this, the club has assured him that they want to keep him where he is. The 34-year-old wants all this to be rewarded in a huge contract.
Match of Italian Cup where Parma will play with Frosinone . Guests are in the middle part of rankings (Seria B ) . They did 2 wins and defeat at last 3 matches played. Parma did a draw and defeat at last matches . Yes, they are representing Seria A. But very often in countrys cup matches strong teams are playing without main players. Also the hosts had a hard last match with team Milan. League matches are more important for them. My bet will be on guests with AH +0.75. I think it is a good bet for good odds. I recommend to try this bet with me .
Three Liverpool players in the top five there, which is an achievement in itself. MESSI WINS HIS SIXTH BALLON D'OR What an achievement. The GOAT? Might well be. Virgil van Dijk comes in second with five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo third. Just to round out the top five by the way, Sadio Mane was fourth and Mo Salah sixth.
This series is tied at 1-1 after the first two tests with two remaining. Neither side are in great form coming into this game with form worries over several players including South Africa's captaiin. He may not last too much longer in that job if South Africa lose this series. England will hope that Sibley, Root, Stokes and Pope again make good contributions and their bowlers make use of the conditions. Bet on England to win this test.
Atletico endured another disappointing season, finishing 13th in the Brazilian first division, and they have not won the Minas Gerais state championship since 2017. Foreign coaches are the new trend in Brazilian football following the success of Jorge Jesus at Flamengo and Jorge Sampaoli at Santos. Portuguese Jesus took Flamengo to the Serie A and Copa Libertadores during six months in charge while Sampaoli led Santos to second place in the league with a much lower budget.
Arrizabalaga had earlier denied another Brighton substitute in Aaron Connolly, who turned and shot from close range while Chelsea also had several chances to close out the game. Earlier, Chelsea had stepped off the gas pedal following their goal and nearly paid the price before the break but Arrizabalaga produced another acrobatic save to deny Leandro Trossard.

Bolton Wanderers will host Peterborough United for one of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. I believe, Peterborough is big favorites in this game. The visitors have a great chance to get all three points. On the other hand Bolton have a very difficult task in this season. Bolton is worst team in the league. I think, they have little chance. Hosts have low potential. They have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Peterborough to win.
This is first of two matches from Spain Primera where I will bet on goals tonight and that is pretty real for me. Mallorca is at the start of season played defensive, but in last few weeks, team was very efficient. In that period, they are played even four times in a row efficient. In last round, team is lost 1-2 against Levante, and before that match, they are played 3-1, 0-3 and 2-2. Betis was great against Valencia and if they be on that level and this time, goals are very real here. I will bet on over, odds are great.
He has worked on three continents. He was a senior scout for Celtic and played a part in the signing of Virgil van Dijk. He then served as senior player recruiter for Qatar. The quest to discover the next big thing, he can confirm, starts earlier and earlier. You would never have seen the prices being paid for young kids a decade ago that you see these days with the influx of cash coming from television money, sponsorship deals and wealthy owners investing large sums,” McGuinness said.
Nottingham Forest is in great form and victory over Leeds in last round at home surely give to them huge confidence boost so now I must expect from them to beat Charlton,Charlton is in relegation zone and on the road they are very weak with 2-4-9 record this season, in last round they losted from stoke 3-1 and I really don't see how they are going to avoid defeat in this game, and also it is not realistic they could hold Nottingham from scoring more than one goal so it is very realistic difference at the end will be at least two goals!

Forest Green Rovers are having an excellent season and after last season’s disappointment in the play-offs, they are doing all they can to put that behind them. Much like their success form the last campaign, their excellent form has been largely built on a solid defense. Rovers top the charts for fewest goals conceded in League Two with just 11 goals against. While it may not be thrilling for the fans, it is noticeable that 71% of their league matches have finished with less than 2.5 goals scored and they have kept a clean sheet in 56% of their away matches.
Bayern is on third place on the table with 3 points away from the first place but most important they are just 1 point ahead of teams behind them and they are right now in promotion zone so I think they will surely be motivated to win tonight and I think they will get the win because they are great team in great form and on the other side munchen is not that good especially defensively but they need to open and try to win and that is why I think they will lose it and the odd on hosts is much higher than I was expected it to be
Rodriguez and Chris Wood both missed good chances before Wood finally found the target with a back post header from an Ashley Westwood cross in the 80th minute but Burnley were unable to force an equaliser. Villa's former Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton injured himself attempting to keep out the goal and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Both teams have scored in the last seven Everton away league games. Only one of the last seven West Ham home league games has not seen both teams score. The two clubs have conceded 65 league goals between them this season. West Ham start the weekend in 16th place and only a point above the relegation zone.
Emmen have failed to score in 31% of their matches this season and Sparta have failed to score in 25% of their Eredivisie games, making it very possible that one or both teams will fail to find the back of the net on Sunday. The form and performances of both teams heading into this weekends’ clash certainly suggest that a 0-0 draw could be on the cards as neither team is playing their best right now and both sides have failed to score in recent matches.

Neither Piatek, nor any alternative, will be available for Wednesday's Premier League encounter with Burnley. Solskjaer has ruled out picking 19-year-old D'Mani Mellor, a substitute in November's Europa League game against Astana, so the responsibility of filling the void left by United's 19-goal top scorer against Burnley will fall on Anthony Martial and 18-year-old Mason Greenwood.
The boys they understood and actually it was pretty easy. Believe you can do something - that's my message'Gomes has been overwhelmed by the goodwill he has felt since his return and has commissioned a professional YouTube video-maker to document his rehabilitation and inspire others facing daunting obstacles in their lives. People have their own issues, their own problems," he said. There are worse problems than I had.
It’s turned a little sour since that 2-0 defeat, with Kane’s injury compounding the misery, but it’s hardly the most disastrous of spells. In truth, there hasn’t been much life at Tottenham since the end of 2018 - aside from the performance-masking run to the Champions League final - and they are certainly no worse under Mourinho than the final embers of Mauricio Pochettino's spell.
The postponement of the Euro 2020 championship for a year, however, has cleared space in the calendar for domestic competitions to finish if the public health situation allows. Player contracts, some of which end in June, could be an issue although world governing body FIFA has said it is looking into possible 'dispensations'.
They were never given a moment's peace by a St Mirren side full of endeavour but the gulf of quality proved telling. The Paisley club have gone just shy of a decade since their last league win over Celtic, and even a goal had proved beyond them in the sides' last five meetings until MacPherson's deflected free-kick sailed past Fraser Forster to end that trend.
The ban on matches being played with spectators will remain in place in three regions -- Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna -- until March 8 at least, and could well be extended. That suggests that the championship can only finish if matches are played behind closed doors. However, some clubs say that option was taken off the table by Serie A's decision on Saturday.

The Swiss court temporarily suspended the ruling pending a more reasoned hearing. These are truly extraordinary times in sports law. Alongside the City case, Cas is also being asked to decide whether to uphold the World Anti-Doping Agency's qualified ban of Russia before the Tokyo Olympics this summer. The stakes are high in such cases. Entire governments lie behind the claimants. National prestige and reputation is on the line.
Subs: Riedewald 6, Tosun 6. KEY MOMENTS 28’ CLASH! Zaha spits in the direction of Brighton substitute Schelotto. Zaha then holds his hands to his ears in front of the Brighton fans, and Schelotto kicks the ball in Zaha's direction. Schelotto gets a yellow. Zaha, however, escapes without a card when he should have seen yellow as well.
Well .. a very difficult match for the forecast, but it must be done. Also, as in the game of Slutsk and Belshina, I will take guests in whom they believe less, with zero handicap. In five rounds, Rukh missed only 2 goals, scoring the truth exactly the same, but the team manages to achieve the result, as they won 1-0 against Minsk and Dynamo Minsk. The torpedo Belaz is also reliable in defense, and they play well in their field, but I don’t see the hosts win in this match. It is very likely that there will be a draw of course, but something tells us that Rukh will be able to catch on for 3 points. Good luck to everyone !!!
SPAL have left it late to save themselves in recent seasons, but they have a whole new task in 2020. The hosts come into the year in the bottom three, with a massive change needed to haul them to safety. The club are really struggling for results so far this season, while a blow in this meeting with Verona could set them back even further.
Although Lazzari was at least 30 metres from goal, referee Michael Fabbri judged that he had been denied a scoring chance, amid angry protests from the Juventus players. Five minutes later, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic latched on to Luis Alberto's cross to put Lazio in front. Ciro Immobile had a penalty saved before substitute Felipe Caicedo scored a third goal in stoppage time.

Relive Leicester v Chelsea as it happened Ross Barkley's goal was his third of the season in the FA CupLampard's reshuffle does the trickAn FA Cup quarter-final behind closed doors contains little of the passion and noise that usually accompanies these occasions, with a place in the last four at stake. It did, however, enable those few of us inside the ground to hear several loud blasts of "liven up, liven up" from Chelsea manager Lampard as he expressed his displeasure at his side's early inability to cope with Leicester City's bright start.
After all, the Reds already have a well-functioning attacking triumvirate of Mohamed Salah , Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino. And Werner would presumably have to oust the latter in order to establish himself permanently in the first XI. Doing this could turn out to be a Herculean task for Werner, because – looking beyond the Brazilian’s underwhelming base stats of eight goals and seven assists – Firmino is a crucial piece of the puzzle in Klopp's offensive armada, linking together play and cleverly utilising space in a way that few players in the world can match.
