Ante Rebic has scored 11 goals in his last 15 appearances in all competitions. Napoli have won seven of their last eight Serie A matches. AC Milan have won four of their last five Serie A matches. A real contender for match of the weekend takes place at Stadio San Paolo this weekend when Napoli host AC Milan in Serie A.
Leeds United have won their last three home league games. Leeds United have kept clean sheets in each of those wins. Fulham lost at the weekend and have just one point from their last two league fixtures. It's a massive game for both Leeds United and Fulham as they chase a return to the Premier League.
It was one of Schmeichel’s 11 career goals. Brad Friedel came up for a corner to score in 2004 but the only three keeper goals since in the Premier League - Paul Robinson, Tim Howard and Asmir Begovic - have all been long punts up field. See an animated version of Schmeichel’s goal on a very old-school BBC football page here. Lehmann scores derby equaliser We do not have any pictures of Jens Lehmann scoring sadly - but here he is coming forward in another Schalke-Dortmund matchA major derby.
Now they’re up against a better-quality side in Club Bruges and then they’ve got to go into the game at the weekend. It’ll be interesting to see what Ole does in that Europa League game because that’s a winnable tournament. We saw United win it under Mourinho in 2017. You can’t write off United winning it and if you’re someone like Ole, he knows the only way he’s going to appease anybody – especially the people who’ve got it in for him – is to go and win a trophy.
The home side have only won three league games this season, the last being on November 30. Since then, they have gone ten league matches without a victory earning just four points. Home form has seen them win just one of their 11 played in this season's Girabola. That was the win in November but five subsequent home league games have produced just one point.
We're going to win the league!"That was the chant booming down from The Kop on Sunday as Liverpool fans celebrated a 2-0 win against Manchester United that puts them 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand. After 30 years of slip-ups and near misses, Reds fans - or a decent number of them - now believe a first title since 1990 is tantalisingly within their grasp, even if Jurgen Klopp is refusing to celebrate just yet.
From there, a winner was probably inevitable, and it duly came through the not unexpected combo of a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross, turned in by Sadio Mane. Liverpool now have as many points as Manchester United's 1999 treble-winners, plus more than Arsenal in 1998 and United in 1997. Win at the weekend and they'll hop over the Leicester miracle team and draw level with United of 1996.
Afif is one of a growing number of standout performers from Qatar and is the second player in succession - following on from Al Sadd club mate Abdelkareem Hassan - to be named the continent's leading player by the confederation.

Belarussian top league. Famous team BATE will play at home field with team Torpedo Belaz. Hosts did 2 wins at the last two games. But their play is out of the best condition. Torpedo did a victory in the last match . So, they are on positive wave. My bet will be under 2.5 goals. Guests will play this match from defense. All teams are playing with the such strategy versus team BATE. Hosts will try to score during this "BUS" line. It seems that we will see 0 or 1 goal in this game. I recommend to try this bet with me !

Roma are in good shape. Recently, they often win at the San Siro. Therefore, it is completely reasonable to believe that the team of Fonseca coach will beat host Milan to continue hoping to win tickets to the Champions League.
Metz closed out 2019 with some pretty poor results such as their 2-2 draw with Metz and the 4-1 defeat in Nice. They are winless in their last ten games and in need of a confidence boost but it won't come easy here in Rouen. Metz do have a pretty solid record in this competition against lower league opposition though as they have won six of their last eight games in the tournament, both losses came against teams either in the same division as them or tier above.
Man of the Match - Niall McGinnAlthough it was a Celtic victory it was the Aberdeen players who caught the eye on an afternoon where silky football was definitely not on the agenda. Ferguson and McLennan gave their all but McGinn tormented the Celtic backline from the first minute to the last and although he ended up in the losing side he can be pleased with his performance overall. We did annoy them' - reactionAberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "The intent from my team was clear today.

Spain is the second worst-hit country in Europe after Italy and is set to declare a national lockdown on Monday.
We see that form carrying on here, with the visitors conceding in 78% of their trips so far. Saint Etienne have scored in their last four visits to Nimes, keeping just one clean sheet in that time. We’re going with both teams to score in this one, with neither side showing the defensive discipline to keep a clean sheet.

The Crown Prince has been using sporting events and personalities as a means of improving the Kingdom's reputation following the grisly murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi - widely believed to have taken place with his approval," the Amnesty letter continued.

But since that result, Granada have dropped to 8th from a surprise share of the lead, whilst Osasuna have begun to flourish.

We announced the signing a few days later and the SAS was formed. Midfielder Mark Atkins, who scored six goals in 34 league appearances: "It was a signing of real intent. We needed it because Kevin, who was our second top scorer the previous season behind Shearer, was injured. We needed somebody to push us on. Gallacher: "I always say tongue-in-cheek that if I hadn't broken my leg then Blackburn wouldn't have bought Chris and there wouldn't have been the SAS.
The Inter Milan man was also the Libertadores top scorer with nine goals. But Jesus' team also has the crucial contribution of veteran full-backs: former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis and Rafinha, a Bayern Munich legend. Playmakers Everton Ribeiro and Giorgian De Arrascaeta - an Uruguayan who barely got playing time for his country in Russia 2018 - are also fan favourites. In goal, 34-year-old former Sevilla man Diego Alves is not as famous as his countryman Alisson, but was voted the best goalkeeper in Brazil this year.

Manchester United had two teenagers score in a Premier League game for the first time since October 2005 against Sunderland (Wayne Rooney and Giuseppe Rossi)"When you're 2-0 down, you fear the worst," he told BBC's Match of the Day. But this group won't give in, don't give in. We've made massive strides and would have a learned a lot today. The Norwegian added: "Even though the big part of this game is a negative and we are disappointed with it, the overriding feeling is a positive because of the character to stick in there and turn it around.
West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has apologised and promised to make a donation to a mental health charity after liking a social media post that described the late TV presenter Caroline Flack as "weak".

It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.
I would really like to speak to him," Ljungberg told a news conference on Tuesday. I'm in contact with him but I haven't spoken to him because it's been a bit hectic, but it's on my list to do so.

Kylian Mbappe hugged a child who ran on to the pitch and signed an autograph in the closing stages of Paris St-Germain's win over Amiens. As the game entered injury time, a young boy ran on to the pitch with stewards chasing after him.

Neymar and Mauro Icardi also scored in the comfortable PSG win.
Match where we go teams should score are the most scoring teams in the entire National League so taking into account that I take an average of 1.66 goals per game while Hector neck to the average of 1.50 goals per game I think that the most likely result is that both teams mark the rope of 157 is close in the ball but I see it the safest of the night taking into account the scoring ability of both contestants and that in the historical between both teams in the last three seasons in five games there was a both mark and I think tonight he will repeat again
We are conscious of it because it has happened already in Italy," added Guardiola. The league is suspended, and in Spain the next two weeks are behind closed doors. It is going to happen here. The tendency rises at the same level as Italy before and in Spain right now. The other issue you have to ask is, is it worse to play football without the spectators? We do our job for the people and if the people cannot come to watch us, there is no sense.
This fixture features No. 5 vs No. 7 in the league, Mechelen vs Zulte Waregem. The hosts coming from a 1 - 2 away win to Standard liege (no. 3 in the league) and their last home game a 2 - 2 draw with Sporting Charleroi. The hosts coming from a 1 - 2 home loss to Anderlecht (No. 10 in the league) and their last away game a 1 - 2 win over Waasland-Beveren. The hosts should win this one as they played a higher table team than the visitors and themselves scoring multiple goals but conceded one goal to win the match then drew their last home game to a team above the visitors facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves, scoring and conceding multiple goals to lose the match then winning their last away game to a team below themselves scoring and conceding so a win to the hosts.
