Well that first leg produced many goals and many chances which at the end PAOK won with 3-0 but I don't think that we are going to see that too. This is a huge derby in Greece for sure, and this derbies are always heated. Also that result from 2-3 is good for both teams. PAOK will focus more on the defense for sure while Olympiacos only needs win with one goal to gain advantage. More than 60% of the matches between this two teams finished with under, and the odd today is very good and has value most certainly . Last match between this two teams Olympiacos won with 1-0.
Emmen have only lost one of their last four competitive and non-competitive matches against Groningen and under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the pairs’ last five encounters. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Groningen’s last six matches as well as in each of Emmen’s last five matches, so you can see why we are expecting a low-scoring ninety minutes this Sunday.
It is hard to know what to expect from the Magpies this time - they are safe so have nothing to play for, unlike Watford who are fighting for their lives. I'd have to back the Hornets here, but I'm expecting more of a fight from Newcastle. They won't get battered again. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Scotty's prediction: Newcastle are one of the teams who seem to be thriving without fans putting pressure on them, when there can be a pretty toxic atmosphere at St James' Park because of the way their supporters view their owner.
The Manchester City defensive issues we mentioned earlier mean that we are expecting a goal for the hosts, but the odds on offer for Manchester City to claim a third 3-1 win away from home in the league do look enticing.
Both teams are showing a quite weak attack during this season, considering that Wolfsburg has scored just 19 goals in 18 games and Hertha has been slightly better scoring 3 times more than them. However, no less than 4 goals have been scored in the last 3 games played here between these teams, with Hertha which has even been able to score 3 goals twice. Both teams have started 2020 with a clear loss vs Koln and Bayern respectively, so they are both expected to bounce after that bad performance and they could both score more than one: this game to go Over.
Shinnik bid to make it into the Russian Cup semi-finals but will face a tough task at home to Russian Premier League side Ural. They aren't in good form at present, struggling to get wins and goals. It's also been a struggle for them to get through to the last four with the last two rounds going to penalties. Ural have had a couple of bad results of late but are a league higher than their opponents and have a decent away record. Go for an away victory in this match.
Rooney questioned why "big stars from other sports, who are able to avoid tax by living in places like Monaco" are not being scrutinised over the financial support they are offering in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. He also criticised health secretary Hancock focusing on footballers and believes big clubs do not need players to take cuts in order to survive, adding if they did then "football is in a far worse position than any of us imagined".
in the current standings, the hosts are in fifth place and the visitors are in sixth position. Both teams have 36 points. In the last 10 matches played between them 4 times on each side they won and twice they drew. So we believe that once again they will draw.

Chelsea are taking on Nice at Stamford Bridge and there's a clash of two European giants at San Siro as Inter host Barcelona. City hit by injury blows Manchester City are set to be laid bare at the back as John Stones has been ruled out of the festive period, leaving Nicolas Otamendi without a senior recognised centre-back partner once more.
Pep Guardiola will likely make a change or two to his starting XI for City's meeting with lower-league Port Vale on Saturday evening, though the Catalonian manager usually resists making wholesale shifts in personnel for any competition or opponent.
We’re also expecting Benfica to take all three points here. Guimaraes are undoubtedly impressive, but Benfica are on another level entirely and have won 16 of their last 17 competitive meetings with Vitoria. The visitors have averaged 2.5 goals per game away from home, while Vitoria have conceded 0.71 goals per home game. Similarly, the hosts have scored 2.14 goals per home game but Benfica have only conceded 0.5 goals per away game, making a 2-1 correct score prediction look the most likely.
All 20 Premier League captains have started a WhatsApp group to coordinate a united response. Paper Round’s view: It is hard to feel sympathy for Premier League clubs on this one. Most are rich beyond their wildest dreams thanks to the television deal and are unlikely to be hit too hard by a fall in matchday revenue caused by a prolonged delay in the resumption of football and the possible completion of matches behind closed doors.

Atletico Tucuman are struggling at the moment with no win in the last 7 games but in 4 of the last 5 games at home they have scored at least 2 goals. In the Copa Libertadores Atletico Tucuman have a good home record winning 5 of the last 7 matches.
Smolevichy-STI have been poor so far in the league as newly promoted team with only 1 point out of the first 3 games and scoring only once. Including the last 2 friendlies they have lost 4 of the last 5 games.
Odds were better before for the over 3.5 goals bet but will have to do with how they stand at this moment at odds of just 2.00 still decent odds but I preferred if they were a bit bigger, this while earlier this season Young Boys defeated Sion at home but quite hard with only 3-2 in the end and they are of course favorites once more for winning all 3 points here as well just that I see the hosts scoring in this one and I prefer to be betting on the over line over 3.5 goals should do just fine.
The Polish striker doesn't seem to be slowing up, which is the main issue in the touted £75 million deal for Firmino. Why would Bayern spend such a huge fee on a new striker when they already have one of the best in the world in Lewandowski? Maybe a move for the Brazilian could be more of a long-term target.
Brentford are on a major charge at present and could yet clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League. It's not in their hands at the time of writing this preview but if West Brom don't win at Huddersifleld on Friday it will be. They have won eight league games in a row and three successive away victories. There have been plenty of goals scored and they are likely to flourish against a Stoke side that has conceded 67 league goals this season. The home side are nearly safe and only the sides in the relegation zone going on winning streaks will see them go down. Go for an away win here.
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.
Ten-man Alkmaar had substitute Ferdy Druijf to thank for two late goals as they recovered to draw 2-2 at home to Partizan Belgrade in Group L and join leaders Manchester United, whose second-string side lost 2-1 at Astana, in the knockout phase. Wout Weghorst's penalty put Wolfsburg through with a 1-0 win against Ukrainians Oleksandriya and were joined by Group I leaders Gent, who drew 0-0 at French side Saint Etienne.
Hibernian striker Marc McNulty faces a two-match ban after being charged retrospectively with stamping on Sean Clare in Hearts' Edinburgh derby win. McNulty avoided sanction at the time after referee Kevin Clancy and his assistants missed the incident during the first-half of Hearts' 3-1 win. However, he has been issued with a Scottish FA notice of complaint for violent conduct. The case will be heard on Monday, 9 March.
On the road, Fleetwood's efforts have been so-so. They've won two, drawn one and lost four, scoring 13 and conceding 13 in the process. They've certainly made an impact going forward, but they've struggled to be as defensively solid as they've often been at Highbury Stadium. Just one clean sheet is all Barton's side have mustered away from home this term. If they're to seriously challenge for the top six, they may need to improve in that department.
Exeter's Matt Jay, who replaced the experienced Lee Martin after 36 minutes, hit the side netting with a second-half free-kick, while at the other end Frank Nouble had a pair of chances blocked in quick succession with 15 minutes to go. The game was Colchester's first play-off match for more than 22 years - they last featured in them when they beat Exeter's nearest neighbours Torquay 1-0 at the old Wembley to win promotion from this level in 1998.
They are a very skilful outfit. Do I think they are going to be the team to end Liverpool's long unbeaten run? Not quite, because Wolves are not brilliant at home, but this is still the Reds' most difficult game for a long time - and I am going for a draw here. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Steve's prediction: I am going to go for a Wolves win, being a total idiot. Liverpool have been incredible this season but they are going to lose at some point so I am going to stick my neck out here.

They haven’t done well defensively too, with one clean sheet in their last 11 matches, but credit to their attack – they have failed to score in just three of the last 15 matches. Spurs’ last win (against West Ham United) came at home, ending a run of four home matches without a win and it also provided a first clean sheet in six home matches.

Should the deal go through, it will be the biggest of the January transfer window in the Premier League so far. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has prioritised midfield as an area to strengthen this month. Fernandes joined Sporting from Sampdoria for £7. He has gone on to score 64 goals in 137 matches in all competitions and won the Portuguese Cup in 2018-19. He was also named the Primeira Liga's player of the year in both 2017-18 and 2018-19.
They look to get back in winning ways when traveling to 17th placed West Ham United. City have conceded seven goals in their last two games and have shown they are still a fair bit behind Liverpool and Manchester City. City are still a dangerous side though and up against the lesser opposition of West Ham are likely to fare much better.
I have very little doubt that Botosani will not be able to win this game. The team scored an excellent move as never before and in the last 10 games won 6 games and 2 ended in a draw. At the same time, the last 4 meetings ended in victory for the team. The victory over “Polytechnic” (CSMS Iasi) will allow the team to ensure access to the playoffs. Therefore, I think the team is quite motivated. As for the guests, things are bad here. The team has already reserved a struggle for survival and will definitely fight in transitional games. Of the last 10 games, the team’s best achievement was a draw. The remaining 9 meetings, the team lost. I do not think that there are possible options, except for the next defeat of the Polytechnic.
Oxford's slump continued during the week, while having shown signs of losing their attacking potency of late, the goals finally dried up, as they drew 0-0 at home to Ipswich. They once again showed that they're not easy to beat, though Karl Robinson's men have looked far less menacing in recent weeks, which is why they've dropped to 5th in the table. Only two points now separates the U's and the those outside of the coveted top six.

Four of Arsenal's seven FA Cup goals this season have been scored by players under the age of 21 - the most of any side from the first round proper - Bukayo Saka (1), Eddie Nketiah (2), Reiss Nelson (1).

For anyone who’s ever wanted to see Pep test his mettle without the usual budget, this could be their chance. Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, Southampton are no longer a feeder-club for Liverpool and may be poaching some of the Reds’ youngest prospects. Rangers dominate Europe In a world that exists exclusively in one man’s household, Rangers have not only eclipsed Celtic’s European record (the Hoops won the European Cup in 1967), but Scotland are World Cup contenders.
It was a very poor performance," Solskjaer said. To be honest, I’m thinking back to Everton (defeat in April) because that team gave up and this team didn’t. So when we turned it round it’s a great answer to get from the boys. We did play badly in the first half, we didn’t win any challenges. But to be able to shake those fears away – what looked like fears in the first half – when you’re 2-0 down and don’t give up is pleasing.
