Real Madrid have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches and in the last five matches, they have scored 16 goals. They head to this game on three straight clean sheets at home, while they have scored 17 goals in the last five home matches, and conceded just four. In La Liga action at home, Real Madrid are unbeaten in six, winning four and drawing two, with three clean sheets.
Bournemouth aren’t exactly flying high, with a draw at home to Arsenal on Boxing Day leaving them 16th in the table, trailing Brighton on goals scored. They have only won one of their last eight top flight matches, but they’ll be hoping to end 2019 on a high against a team struggling almost as much as they are.
When you make the step up you realise straight away that the standard is a lot better and where I am used to scoring 30 or more goals per season, I realise that is not realistic now. We have proved that we are more than capable of competing at this level and we have the players that can do that too so it's just about learning more about each other.
Son Heung-min struck in stoppage time to give Tottenham a dramatic 3-2 victory over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash at Villa Park. Though Spurs have not been at their best recently, they’ve nonetheless been able to pick up points and will no doubt have felt confident going into today’s clash against league strugglers, Villa.
Actually, scratch the ‘appeared’: that’s exactly what he did do. If you’re not familiar with the specifics of this one, here’s an explanation: ‘Alli posted a video of himself wearing a surgical mask in an airport lounge before turning the camera and zooming in on a man of Asian appearance and zooming in on a bottle of antiseptic hand wash.
Atleti went into the game on the back of a chastening league defeat to Eibar and a Copa del Rey loss to third division Cultural Leonesa, but the home crowd still showed loud support for coach Diego Simeone at the start of Sunday's game. They had little to cheer about as the match progressed, however, as their side struggled to create any real chances and had to rely on two impressive saves from goalkeeper Jan Oblak to prevent Leganes from taking the lead.
He still managed time for another four shots without scoring after that. In fact almost 25% of his touches in the entire game were shots (nine out of 37). BBC pundit Warnock added: "He could have easily had six or seven goals tonight. His finishing has been very, very poor by his standards. What you thought about the goal. Paul B: Salah had been shooting like Carragher and then he goes and does that with right peg.
Kenta joined the Cerezo academy before his younger brother, who was motivated to emulate him - or even surpass him by becoming a professional. Minamino - formed from cherry blossoms and diesel Minamino (right) started his career at Japanese club Cerezo OsakaCerezo Osaka made Minamino the player he is today. Cerezo - cherry blossom in Spanish - was a natural progression for a blossoming Minamino. It was his nearest professional club and, coincidentally, their first season in the J1 League - the Japanese top flight- was the year he was born.
Copenhagen vs Manchester City: How to watch, team 23 hours ago — Reigning European champions Manchester City head to Copenhagen on Tuesday for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie.
That winning sequence continued into this season - a further eight successes stretching their run to 17 straight victories. A 1-1 draw at Manchester United in October meant they fell one game short of City's record of 18 consecutive wins. Liverpool now sit 13 points clear of second-placed Leicester City at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand, but Reds fans might understandably be remaining cautious.
PSV should be able to take their record against the Eredivisie’s lesser lights into a meeting with GVVV. We’re backing the visitors to win with a -2 handicap here, while we are going with a 3-0 victory for the away side on Wednesday night.

In seven Champions League games in 2019-20, he has scored one goal and made twoBayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says his club have not taken up the option of turning Philippe Coutinho's loan deal from Barcelona into a permanent deal. The 27-year-old Brazilian midfielder is on a season-long loan, which included an option for Bayern to buy him for 120m euros (£109.
Professor Reade and Dr Singleton have used the same methods they use to forecast inflation or gross domestic product (GDP) to predict the results for League One's remaining matches. Using league form and historic records, they predict the number of goals a side will score in each given fixture and the percentage chance that a side will win that fixture. Those results are factored into the next week's set of fixtures and so on until the end of the season.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Vitoria Guimaraes. The hosts head into this match as the form favourites with three wins and two draws from their last six matches, with their only defeat coming at the hands of the league leaders Benfica. Santa Clara have lost four of their last five matches and despite some decent performances on the road, we expect Vitoria Guimaraes to just do enough to win Saturday’s clash.
Going to the match, hosts Villarreal have so far managed 54 points and are in fifth place while Barcelona, in second place, have 70 points. A top four place is achievable for Villarreal, as they are just three points out and have had a fine run since the league returned from the forced break. Their top four target will have a big boost if they can win here and their recent run has been very encouraging.
For a moment it looks like the rebound will fall to Martinelli, but it does not and Bournemouth scramble the ball clear. GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal (Nketiah) He's got the knack! Mustafi into Nketiah, who comes short and lays off to Willock, who moves it wide to Saka. His cross is more of a pass - that's how poor Bournemouth's passing is - and Nketiah slots home with ease.
I was hope that odds on goals in this match will be maybe even bigger, because this is second Russian league, where teams mostly playing with strong defense, but never mind, 2,00 is more than ok. So, reason for this bet is Spartak Moskva II, because that is team who is playing without any pressure and mostly very efficient, similar like Benfica II or Porto II in Portugal second league. Home team is lost against Shinik in last round at home 1-3, so I hope that this duel can be similar and efficient, also. I will try with this bet.
Football in Bulgaria. Vitosha Bistritsa plays against CSKA Sofia. The favorite is the invited team. CSKA ranks 4th in the league with a balance of 13W 7D 4L. The home team is in last position in the league with a balance of 1W 3D 20L. I think we will see a high score in this game.
Why always you, Mario? Why always you?3. Agueroooooo! (2012) Sergio Aguero's stoppage-time winner against QPR was his 23rd goal of the seasonIt is one of those moments where everyone remembers where they were when it happened. Mancini's Manchester City team side had been fantastic throughout the campaign but goals from Djibril Cisse and Jamie Mackie saw them 2-1 down at home to QPR on the final day of the 2011-12 season, needing all three points to seal their first Premier League title.
Derby County have been charged by the English Football League for a breach of spending rules and now face a possible points deduction. The charge relates to losses in the three years up to June 2018, despite the club posting a pre-tax profit of £14. Pride Park was sold to owner Mel Morris for £80m. Spending rules allow Championship clubs to lose £39m over a three-year period. Derby have now been referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission.
All things considered, we see good value in backing Huddersfield on the Draw No Bet line and are happy to do so with maximum confidence. Wigan haven't won since mid-October and thus; whilst at worst Huddersfield should be able to avoid defeat, given they've won half of their last 6 Championship away games, we fancy them to run out 1-0 winners.
This fixture features No. 8 vs No. 18 in the league, Shinnik vs Tekstilshchik. The hosts coming from a 2 - 2 away draw with Avangard Kursk (no. 14 in the league) and their last home game a 3 - 1 win over Luch Energiya Vladivostok. The visitors coming from a 1 - 2 home loss to Neftekhimik (No. 5 in the league) and their last away game a 2 - 1 loss to Khimki. The hosts should win this one as they played a higher table team than the visitors and scored multiple goals but conceded multiple goals to draw the match then won their last home game to a team above the visitors facing a team coming from playing a team above themselves and the hosts, scoring and conceding multiple goals to lose the match then losing their last away game to another team above the hosts scoring and conceding so an over 2.5 is best to tip.
This season is longer than ever and we should be proud of what we have done so far. Now is the time to finish it off, we've got to do it. Can BMW drive Brentford?Two sides from the capital, separated by just a few miles, are also hoping they can make it to the promised land. Third-placed Brentford have played some of the best football of any side this season and, in their 'BMW' front three of Said Benrahma, Bryan Mbuemo and Ollie Watkins, they have an attacking force that would cause many a Premier League defence problems.

If you want any indication as to the esteem with which Guaita is held by those at Palace however, then consider manager Roy Hodgson’s quotes after the Sheffield United howler. He [Guaita] was the first one, when he came in after the game to apologise. But from my point of view, the coaching staff and the players’ point was to say: ‘You don’t apologise for anything.
Vital was somewhat of the teams that are among the top in the league, but having weak play and poor run in the previous three round, they are out of the title fight and should not be able to make up more than 10 points behind the leader. They are facing the first placed team, and away side is in must win position, because of the fight with the second rival in the competition Musongaty.
Palace ended a run of five Premier League games without a win and kept a clean sheet for the first time in seven in the competition.

Shortly after the full-time whistle was blown, Ferguson was asked why he decided to substitute the substitute. Greenwood salvages draw for Man Utd"I just needed to make a substitution to kill a bit of time," he said. I have a lot of attackers on the bench, it was nothing against him personally.

Threat was coming from everywhere with Edouard and Griffiths combining well as they pinned St Johnstone in and created chance after chance. They were ably supported by the likes of Callum McGregor, Ntcham, Taylor and Forrest, who seems to love playing against this opposition. It was his delivery which created the opener. An inch perfect cross that allowed Ntcham to power home without breaking stride.
