Thursday night’s first Coppa Italia tie pits together two sides who met in Serie A last season. Frosinone are looking to bounce back after dropping out of the top flight last term, but they are sitting outside the playoff spots in the second tier after a poor start. The visitors are seen as the underdogs for this trip, but can they pull off a cup shock?
Peterborough have failed to score in three of their last four on the road too, which doesn’t bode well when coming up against a Lincoln City defence that can be fiercely protective of their clean sheet.
Of course there’s probably a wider discussion to be had here about why the offside rule has gone from a simple solution for goalhangers to something we dissect on a miniate basis week-to-week. In fact, hang on a second, is VAR just highlighting an already broken system? Are…? *Warm-Up looks at itself in the mirror* Are we the bad guys? Wonderkid makes great decision not based on money* There were few players in world football more in demand than Erling Braut Haaland after what can only be described as him “announcing” himself to the world stage in this season’s Champions League.

Returning to the match this afternoon, Ehime is a team that is not overestimated in terms of ability and last season was only lucky to stay in the relegation thanks to a 2-point gap between the red team. Meanwhile, Tokushima Vortis finished in the top 6 and got a ticket to the play-off promotion. However, this team did not take advantage of success and continue to accept life in the 2nd division.

Assistant manager Gary Brabin, first-team coach Inigo Idiakez and technical goalkeeping coach Imanol Etxeberria have also had their contracts terminated with immediate effect.

Monaco have been flying recently with so many emphatic wins and even though their away form isn't spectacular, we're backing them to get the win against this Angers side in a bout of poor form. Les Scoïstes haven't been great at home recently but we're expecting them to score against this Monaco side with just one clean sheet in their last five away games. Nevertheless. the hosts have seven goals in their last four games and with their top assister and second top scorer Islam Slimani back in the team we're expecting them to win 2-1.

The Blues had been eliminated at the semi-final stage of three competitions last season but can now look ahead to a showdown with Joe Montemurro's Gunners. Sunderland moved into the League One play-off positions with a scrappy 1-0 victory over 10-man Tranmere at Prenton Park.

But Dortmund were not to be denied for long, as Guerreiro finished off a lightning counter-attack, slotting past Lukas Hradecky, after Kai Havertz had struck the post at the other end. The away side then took control of the match after their third goal, consolidating possession and limiting their hosts to few chances, only for the game to burst into an explosive finale. Leverkusen's Jamaican forward Bailey had the ball in the net with his first touch after coming on in the 71st minute, only for it to be called offside by the on-field officials, but he soon drew his side level, calmly stroking home in the 81st minute after Hummels' brilliant tackle fell to him in the box.

Crystal Palace will host AFC Bournemouth for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be another one tense match for both sides. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. However, Crystal Palace is a very unpredictable team. Also, they have big fluctuations. In last game Crystal Palace is won 0-2 against Burnley. Also, we have Bornemouth who's is not very good team in their last matches. They have three consecutive losses. True, they played against more strong rivals. In last game Bournemouth lost 3-2 against Tottenham. In any case, the visitors wil ltry to provide a strong resistance. I think, they will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.

Preston North End, despite their home-field advantage, has nothing to guarantee for them to win against the guests. 15 times compared to the previous match, the two sides won 5, drew 5, and lost 5, the number of talents balanced. The problem is that the current performance between the two teams is very different, Preston North End did not win in the last 4 rounds (draw 1, lose 3) and are playing somewhat down at the right sprint stage. Meanwhile, Cardiff knows how to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes and earn 7 points in the last 3 rounds, thereby approaching Preston and 7th place in the rankings. Because of that, it is the homeowners who are worried about this match, even if they do not revive their spirits soon, the ability to retain even 1 point is very difficult for Preston North End.

Napoli are second in Group E with nine points, while Genk are bottom of the group with just one point. While it is all over for Genk, Napoli needs a draw to be sure of a place in the second round.

Speaking on BT Sport, Keown said: "It was the first time I felt that the players were not responding to the manager and the manager did not know what changes to make.

If you break down the performance you could have looked at every single player and say that they could have all done more.
Real Zaragoza surprised professionals this season. Starting from a low position, no one dared to expect much from them. However, what Real Zaragoza has shown in recent years brings many positive signals. After half a season, they have a good position on the rankings, they can compete for a return to La Liga.

A little warmth and humour has also gone a long way after the almost robotic-like Marco Silva, who was sacked after the club slipped into the bottom three at the start of December. Prior to the win over Watford last weekend, the former AC Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea manager jokingly told Theo Walcott: "Theo, you are allowed to score goals. It made me laugh and relaxed me," said Walcott, who went on to score the injury-time winner, before likening Ancelotti to his former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The Borussia Dortmund forward can delay any decision due to Manchester City’s Champions League ban appeal, and the coronavirus. Paper Round’s view: If City’s ban is upheld then they may find that United manage to qualify for the Champions League, but that also assumes that either the league standings are upheld for next season, or that they are able to complete the Premier League season and United are able to finish at least in fifth place.

The visitors missed a huge chance to turn things around when they hosted a struggling Stoke side before the break.

I think that Bask team will not have any problems to beat rival from second league in this match from Semifinals in Copa Del Ray, or Spain Cup. So, this season is very interesting fact that in last four, we are not have any of big teams from this competition - Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Atl. Madrid or Valencia. Real Sociedad is playing very good and they are team who is beat Real Madrid in last round 4-3 at Bernabeu. Mirandes is great, but I think that they will all their power give in Secunda, and not in this competition, where they are not have chances anymore.
