Meanwhile, Fortuna have only fared marginally better than Werder Bremen at the back this season. They have conceded 36 goals in the Bundesliga. Only Werder Bremen and Mainz eclipse this total of goals conceded.
They also ordered thorough medical checks of visitors from Germany, France and Spain. This means that most of our players would not be able to take part in the play-off match, and FA asks again (UEFA) to reconsider all risks that may occur in the case of the match," the association said on its website.
Getting a striker in was always a priority and I hope Mbwana Samatta will prove a decent purchase. Villa won't spend big to get another striker, so a 'serious bid' to prise Jarrod Bowen away from Hull feels unlikely. Christian Benteke's wages may also rule him out, so I'd hope for a loan signing if possible. We've done well to shift Jonathan Kodjia and it looks as if Scott Hogan will be going on loan too.
Breaking down the hosts has been an issue for many sides this season. Verona have only conceded 11 Serie A goals this season – the last newly-promoted side to concede 11 goals or fewer at this stage in the Italian top-flight were Bari in 2009/10 (10). At home they’ve let in just four goals in seven games. Only 43% have seen over 1.5 goals, with nearly half of their matches here seeing exactly one goal scored.
We would like to avoid controversy because it is not the time. But the tone of the statement, which seems overbearing, is obviously not to our liking. It should be remembered, that there are 'other' coaches, instructors, trainers and collaborators employed by football clubs who have merely working incomes, sometimes even below the national average.
When this pair met in Belgium, they drew 0-0. Ancelotti's men may have been disappointed to draw, but the fact that they gave very little away and were clearly the better side bodes well ahead of Tuesday's clash.

They don't owe me anything, I owe them everything. They didn't have to take a punt on that eight-year-old and sign me, they could have gone for that bigger, faster kid, but they went for me, the little kid that still wore glasses back then.

This agreement addresses key strategic priorities for the league and our players while also retaining the basic player compensation structure that has been the foundation for the growth and stability of Major League Soccer," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. The current CBA had expired on Jan.
Lionel Messi is fed up. According to the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, the Barcelona captain has broken off contract talks after finally running out of patience with the club because of the constant rumours and allegations that he is one of the prime reasons for unrest around the Nou Camp. Messi is disillusioned with any number of things emanating from his life at Barcelona at the moment. He is fed up of being accused of running the club, fed up of people saying he hires and fires the coaches, fed up of claims he chooses who should be signed and who should play and fed up with the general direction of the club and the huge mistakes they have made in the transfer market.
Alan Pardew says reports stating he will receive a bonus payment for avoiding relegation with Den Haag are "nonsense". The Dutch Eredivisie season was abandoned on Friday because of coronavirus with no sides relegated. Den Haag were seven points from safety, prompting reports he will get a £100,000 bonus for keeping them up. If I formally was entitled to a bonus, I would never want to receive it," he said in a club statement.
Rosenborg still has a chance of making it into the European spots. It will be difficult and does not only depend on them. They have to win and Odd has to lose their game. The goal difference is higher for Rosenborg and if that happens they will get third place. As we know Rosenborg is very strong when they play home. They rested a little bit in the mid week game as they knew they were out of the Europa Cup and I believe they will win it today against a team that is facing relegation and getting out will be tough.
in this match I do not expect goals,Paderborn is on last place on the table and they are desperate to get some win but still they lost last 4 at home so their first goal should be not to lose today and that is going to be very hard since Hoffenheim is great on the road and also kramaric their top scorer is going to play but still I don't think Hoffenheim could score more than one or maybe two goals and hopefully at the end of the game it will be under 2,5 or at least under 3.5 goals

Wolves saw a goal controversially ruled out for offside as they were held 0-0 at home by 10-man Leicester City. Leicester were looking to chase down Manchester City - banned from European football for two seasons - while Wolves wanted to close in on the top four positions themselves. Adama Traore started on the bench for Wolves, while Leicester were at full strength, and it was the home side who started the strongest.
Leicester City ended a poor run of form to set up a home last-eight tie against Chelsea after beating Birmingham City 1-0, Ricardo Pereira's header sealing a tight Midlands derby. Manchester City's reward was an away quarter-final at Newcastle United, while Norwich will have a home tie against Derby County or Manchester United who play on Thursday.
He is an exceptional leader and has had an exceptional season. Philip Neville: Kevin de Bruyne (4)De Bruyne has been the standout player with his passing range with both feet, and his vision - he has the ability in the final third to see and play the killer pass. Then you look at his assists and goals. Joleon Lescott: Sadio Mane (3)Sticking with my theory that the the winner of the best player award should play for the title-winning team I would say Mane.
Bayern Munich have won their last five league games scoring 20 goals. Mainz have lost four of their last five home league games. Bayern Munich have won three of their last four away league matches. History seems to be repeating itself in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich starting slowly and then improving.
The best we can say for it is nothing unexpected really happened. The kids lost to Aston Villa’s grown-ups, as was inevitable, and everybody made lots of noises about their bravery and maturity and so on. Good for them. Quick, somebody ruffle somebody’s hair. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Liverpool and Celso Ortiz of Monterrey compete for the ball during the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar Semi-final match between Monterrey and Liverpool FC at Khalifa International Stadium on December 18, 2019 in Doha, Qatar.
In terms of a correct score tip, we think that the trend of Coventry winning by a one goal margin is set to continue. The hosts have scored in 82% of their matches at St Andrews and average 1.36 goals per game there. However, given that their visitors average just shy of a goal per game on the road and have only failed to score in 27% of their away matches, it is likely that the Sky Blues will have to score twice to take the win. Therefore, we are backing a 2-1 Coventry win in this fixture.
Both teams have scored in four of the last five Valencia home Champions League games. Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine Atalanta games. Atalanta have scored in both of their last two away Champions League matches. After a disastrous start to their first ever Champions League campaign, Atalanta are one game from the quarter finals.

As a shorthand, you might call it "Cool Britannia" and, basically, what it did was offer a pretext for men and women all over the country - from Aberdeen to Stevenage - to wear football shirts as fashion items and swagger about like Liam Gallagher. Out of that heady mix was born the England team's official tournament song Three Lions, written and performed by Lightning Seeds frontman Ian Broudie together with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner (for the unfamiliar, think of them as a pre-digital age Poet and Vuj).
Richarlison has scored 15 goals so far this season - 14 of those coming in the Premier League - an impressive return in a difficult campaign for Everton in which they had looked in danger of being involved in a relegation battle before Ancelotti's arrival in December. A full pre-season working with the Italian and the Brazilian has a real chance of developing into a 20-goals-a-season striker next term.
Dijon have had a real problem with scoring as they have netted the second least goals in Ligue 1 with just 14 in their 19 games. This lack of goals at the top end has been paired with quite a few goals at the wrong end as they haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last ten outings which will make great reading for Valenciennes fans. The Mustards will also have to compete with their awful away record here as they travel a long way north to beside the Belgian border. They have won just one of their eleven away days this season with eight defeats making it one of the worst records in the top flight.
We have seen some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus take steps to reduce their costs. Yesterday, having already taken steps to reduce costs, we ourselves made the difficult decision – in order to protect jobs – to reduce the remuneration of all 550 non-playing directors and employees for April and May by 20% utilising, where appropriate, the Government’s furlough scheme.
Everton are continuing to assess candidates to succeed sacked Marco Silva on a permanent basis despite caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson's flying start - with Shanghai SIPG coach Vitor Pereira high on their list. Ferguson galvanised Everton on and off the pitch as they moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with an outstanding performance in the 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park on Saturday.
After three seasons with Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor left for Manchester City in July 2009 and came up against his former club just four games into the new season. After scoring the fourth goal in a 4-2 win for Mark Hughes' side, Adebayor sprinted from one end of the pitch to the other, before sliding on his knees in front of the travelling Gunners fans.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed captain Harry Kane will start Friday's Premier League home match against Manchester United (20:15 BST). The striker, 26, has not played since a hamstring tear against Southampton on 1 January which required surgery, but has regained full fitness during lockdown. He is working extremely well, I can tell you no problem he is going to start the game," Mourinho said.
But the assistant referee kept his flag down and VAR proved he was correct to do so as Villa avoided defeat at Old Trafford for the first time since 2009. Villa skipper Jack Grealish gave his side a deserved lead with a magnificent curling shot after 11 minutes only for United to equalise against the run of play just before the interval when a Marcus Rashford header hit the inside of a post before bouncing in off the back of former United keeper Tom Heaton.
