One factor about the 2019 Club World Cup is that the matches so far have been high scoring. Only one of the six played so far has yielded under 2.5 goals. Going to this match, these two sides have also been scoring a lot. Al Hilal have score two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches, while Monterrey have scored two or more in seven of their last 10. There isn’t much to play for here and we don’t think either of the two will go for an overly defensive approach. We are thus backing this to end in over 2.5 goals.
Fifa has also established a working group to tackle the issues facing football as a result of the pandemic. The group will look at the international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts. Player contracts typically expire on 30 June but many leagues, if resumed, look likely to continue beyond that date. We could have finished our season'Reacting to the news, Forest Green Rovers owner Dale Vince said suspending all professional matches on 13 March was a "mistake" because the virus had "barely impacted the country" by that stage.
Two players from the same Championship club have tested positive for coronavirus after more than 1,000 tests were carried out. The English Football League confirmed that of the 1,014 tests undertaken on players and staff at all 24 second-tier sides, all but two came back negative. The two players, who have not been named, will now self-isolate in line with guidelines provided by the EFL. Teams in the Championship are due to return to training on Monday.
Still early stages in this new season in small country Faroe Islands, but last season the guests known as Klaksvik won the title thanks to winning their last 9 games in a row in the league and in the Europa League they made it past Tre Fiori from San Marino and also past Riteriai much harder opponent from Lithuania with some decent foreign players compared to the pay level clubs from Faroe Islands can afford. And next round they narrowly lost 1-0 both legs to strong Luzern from Switzerland, very good season indeed for them.
But their effort has meant a feast of football unlike any seen before for fans, with only four of the 40 days it has taken to complete the regular league season lacking a match from either the Premier League or Championship. They clearly haven't all been belters, but there have been some to savour, like Chelsea's impressive win against Manchester City, which sealed Liverpool's Premier League title win, West Ham's see-saw 3-2 victory over Frank Lampard's side, Wycombe's action-packed 4-1 win over Fleetwood in the League One play-offs and Wigan scoring seven in the first half against Hull.
MONDAY Tottenham v Everton (20:00 BST)When you watch Everton, you can see they are slowly morphing into an Italian team under Carlo Ancelotti. I never thought they would be able to get him as manager, but his arrival has been a real coup. The Toffees are going to be an interesting team next season, because they have got money and they will back Ancelotti in the transfer market. They will be targeting the top six, for starters.

WEDNESDAY'S STORIES 20:00: Roberto Moreno has spoken after his replacement as Spain manager by Luis Enrique, who had stepped down earlier this year for family reasons. After what happened in these last days and after the agreement reached on Tuesday, November 19, I feel the need to make a statement to thank the support received during these months and say goodbye to the position of national coach.
While the visitors have form on their side, they also have recent history backing them in this clash. Preston have won only one of their last 15 league games against Middlesbrough (D7 L7). That fantastic run has seen the visitors hold a lengthy advantage at Deepdale. Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their last seven away league visits to Preston (W4 D3) since a 1-0 defeat in April 1972.

Just two points separate these two clubs in the Primeira Liga table but the pair sit seven positions apart due to just how tight it is from seventh places all the way down to Pacos Ferreira in sixteenth. Santa Clara had a poor end to 2019 but picked up three points in their first match of the new year against Aves last time out, while Rio Ave lost their first game in January 1-0 at home to Maritimo.

First game in the Belarus league and we have the title favorite BATE against a team that was able to save from relegation last season in the last game. BATE is a team with tradition in Belarus, that has represented it in the European competition and for sure will want to start strong this season. BATE played 2 cups games before the season start, winning both in high scoring games 2-1 and 3-2 against Dinamo Minsk. The games between this two teams were also high scoring, last two ending with BATE wins with 4-0 and 4-1. I`m going for goals this one.

Girona are coming in this game without being able to win in their last 5 games but the good news is that they have only lost one game of their last 10 played and at home 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 games in this venue. Numancia for its part living a bad time losing consecutively 6 games as visitors. But I also think that a bigger victory for the hosts is absolutely not out of the question. Numancia is not necessarily poorer in terms of quality. After all, they could also win the first leg with 2-0. But Girona may prove too strong for the Numancia here.
Tondela managed to see off Sporting at home late last year, which feels like a platform for them to build on. The hosts need to improve as their home record doesn’t match up to their recent last term, while they also need to bounce back after a setback to finish 2019.
It's been a low scoring round in the second league level in the Czech Republic but this game promises to have a couple of goals scored in it with Brno missing several key first team defenders and they looked awful in their last friendly game which I watched as they ended up losing with 5-0 at their own stadium against Zlin but more important in the second half Zlin used youth players and scored 3 goals against a very modest Brno defense and could have scored more as Zlin even missed a penalty kick and very easy they were alone with the keeper multiple times.

Shortly afterwards Davinson Sanchez had a goal scrubbed off by VAR, but Alli doubled Tottenham's lead five minutes after halftime from Toby Alderweireld's long ball. Moussa Sissoko's 69th minute goal gave Spurs a third, taking their tally to 10 in three games under Mourinho. While Tottenham's attack has clicked under Mourinho, another impressive display was rather tarnished once more by a failure to keep a clean sheet.
Team refuse to play after going 8-0 downIn a statement on Twitter posted on Sunday, the club said: "We are clearly disappointed, and continue to find ourselves in a tough position and struggling to recover from previous club management. This has not helped us get back on our feet. Richardson claimed in his own subsequent statement that he had been unable to train his players for three months because of a lack of facilities and had not been backed by club officials.
So what happens now?The league tableThe clamour to claim the 15m euros (£12. Champions League group stage is a pretty penny that has - predictably - already seen things get ugly. No sooner had the Ligue 1 season been suspended in mid-March than Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas and his Marseille counterpart, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, launched into an unsightly public spat. Aulas claimed last season's final placings should be used to determine next season's European participants; Eyraud disagreed.
Santa Clara playing far from their pitch. They are pretty safe on table and can be very relax in this game. Visitors still have chances to survive but I am not sure how big they are. Still, I can see here open game for goal more and both teams to try to win. Not many option for visitors. They must attack and try to score as early as they can but Santa Clara is good team with many good players in, and they are team who love to create chances and score goals. I can see value in over 2.5 goals here.

Coventry were unable take all three points at the weekend, as they drew 1-1 with MK Dons at this venue, though that shouldn't mean that they're viewed negatively. The Sky Blues are a very tough team to face, there's no two ways about that. They've avoided defeat in each of their last five, three of which they've won, while they've only lost one of their last 12 in League 1.
Bayern have been in spectacular form since Hansi Flick took over in November, winning 23 of his 26 matches in charge. Their squad has a seemingly perfect balance between winning experience and youthful potential. While they have been steamrolling all opponents who cross them - winning their last nine league games - Bayern will be without two key players, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, on Saturday due to respective suspensions.
It was hardly a shock tactic and Mourinho will be furious his players were not alive to it. Worse was to follow in first-half stoppage time as goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga dashed recklessly from his goal and cleaned out Marcos Alonso with a high boot - referee Anthony Taylor mystifyingly judging it was a foul by Chelsea's defender before VAR corrected the injustice and Willian completed the formalities from the penalty spot.
Last 2 matches between these 2 clubs actually ended 1 x 0 and 0 x 0 and it's quite incredible. It's easy to look at the table this year and wonder how. Going against the tide is not a bad idea this time, this year Slustsk and BDU matches have been a goal festival, BDU last year conceded 38 goals away and Slutsk 26 in 15 matches. This year the history is repeating itself, I'm pretty sure this match will end 1 x 2 or 2 x 2. Keeping it safe I will go for both to score on this one.

Real Esteli ”is the current champion, but in the regular season the team sometimes plays the fool because the club shows its strength in the playoffs. And this tactic has been working for the past few seasons. Guests cannot bring the latest results to their assets, because the club lost important points and gave the sole leadership of “Managua”. In the last round, the guests again lost points, tied against “Juventus Managua”, and rolled back to third place. However, “Real Esteli” is not used to slowing down at the end of the regular season. Real Esteli ”is a favorite in this match. But the last games do not paint the team. Although in those matches the rivals were very serious, with the exception of the latter. If guests want to start the playoffs from the semifinals, then in this match they should not lose points. Most likely, “Chinandega” will carefully play against the most titled team in the country. But “Real Esteli” just defeats the rivals, precisely due to the fact that the opposing team decides to play more reliable in their half of the field. We propose to put in this “Real Esteli” with a handicap (-1.5)
This is the relegation group of competition, and couple of top rivals are not having a lot of motivation to play from the full power. Host will force their young squad with a lot of reserve team lineup, and there is no way to say that they are big favorite tonight. Away side is Colleague team, and they could not make any points so far in the season.
He continued: "In this market place there are a number of brokers and banking groups that see this as a quick way to make money because they see these deals as being very visible and you might not need a world of credit expertise to understand that Barcelona or Real Madrid, at face value, will pay you back next year for a transfer.

In December, the Sussex club were 11 points from safety, having had two points deducted for failing to control their spectators, but clawed their way back into contention to have a chance of survival on the final day.

Appropriately, The final fixture of the campaign was a scrap between the bottom two at Edgar Street.
Meanwhile, Verona have been defying expectation with their goals conceded tally. So far this season they’ve been conceding 18 shots per game on average. Only conceding 5% of those isn't something we see the promoted side sustaining. That will be hard to maintain in their toughest home clash of the season, with Fiorentina averaging 1.7 goals per game on the road, converting 11% of their chances.
All sport in Italy has been suspended until at least 3 April because of coronavirus, but this does not include Italian clubs or national teams participating in international competitions.

What about the players? Tom Beadling is one of 17 players to be released by DunfermlineFor the hundreds of SPFL players out of contract this summer, the prospects look grim. Desperate to cut costs, clubs are likely to go with streamlined squads supplemented by youth next season. That means shedding players whose deals are up and holding off on making signings. More players than ever will be looking for a club, with fewer deals up for grabs, so the immediate future for some may lie outside football.

The Brazil forward was heavily linked with a switch back to Spain last summer, two years after his world-record £200m move to Paris St-Germain, but the deal never went through. There will be a lot less movement than we have seen in other transfer windows," Tebas added. Neymar [going back to Barca] is a big cash deal," he said. I don't think it is going to come off.

Tiszakecske and Vac will face to face in the 27th matchday in the second tier in Hungary. Both team are in trouble, the home team is in the 17th, the other side stands in the 19th position in the relegation zone, but between the teams have a massive quality difference. Both side conceded a lot of goals, but Tiszakecske score a goal almost always, until the Vac cannot score a goal on the last 7 games... A few years ago the guest team matches bring one of the most goals in the league, played many times high score, but after the financial problems many players left the team and they playing with youth players without salary. My tip: 3-0.
