Barca's away form has been particularly poor, with losses at Athletic Bilbao, Granada and Levante plus draws at Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Espanyol. The biggest concern is that all those games followed a similar pattern, with Valverde unable to fix the problems that regularly leave his team looking disjointed in possession and vulnerable at the back, edging ever further from the club's trademark incisive passing game.
After Managua U20 Walter Ferretti have been the most productive home team in the league with a total of 19 goals in 7 games. But they also failed to keep a clean sheet in 6 of the 7 games. The last 5 home games of Walter Ferretti all went over the 3.5 goals.
Very good stats for taking the over 2.5 goals bet here in this one as the hosts have played 6 out of 7 home games with over 2.5 goals scored in them actually they won just 2 of those 7 home games one right at the start of this new season and one last round and both times they covered the over 2.5 goals all by themselves as those games ended in 3-0 wins for them and they are good at scoring but in some games they are poor in defense and Real Pilar is a decent team so will back over 2.5 goals.
He scored eight goals in 27 games since joining them permanently and has six of Leganes' 18 league goals so far this season. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected Leganes' request on the grounds that there is no Fifa, RFEF or La Liga ruling that allows a club to sign a player outside the transfer window to replace one who has left to cover for a long-term injury absence. But the federation is going to begin the process of proposing a change to the rule.
Then you have Pepe's histrionic tumble after the slightest touch from Morocco's Medhi Benatia at the World Cup in 2018. Or, further back in the annals, Cristiano Ronaldo winking after successfully lobbying the referee to have his then Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney sent off for England at the World Cup in 2006. Truly reprehensible/admirable stuff… depending on your point of view. While you're here, why not check out this guide to tactical fouls.
Methven, in particular, is forthright and undeniably passionate but an expletive-laden dressing down of an employee is an uncomfortable watch. Speaking to BBC Sport, he admitted there are moments where he “could have done better". People wouldn't be human if they didn't understand you come across well in some moments and not so well in other moments,” Methven said. That is the nature of these fly-on-the-wall documentaries.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored when these two teams clash on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in Willem II’s favour. The hosts are in form and have a good record against their guests, while Sparta arrive with a poor record away from home due to the fact that they concede too many goals and we believe this will make the difference on Saturday.

Paris St-Germain overcame an injury to Kylian Mbappe to beat 10-man Saint-Etienne and win the French Cup in a game in which some fans were allowed into the Stade de France. This was the first game in France after the league was ended in April because of the coronavirus outbreak. Neymar opened the scoring in a fiery first half in which Loic Perrin was sent off for a bad foul on Mbappe. It prompted a melee on the pitch before the injured Mbappe had to go off.

Turkey were in a group with France and Iceland, so to come out of that they've done well, and of course Italy were fantastic in qualifying, winning every game, that'll be tough obviously. Italy are the stand-out team in our group. It won't be easy but if we have all our players we'll compete against all of them. I've got bad memories and good memories of playing in Rome. Hopefully when we play Italy they will have six points already and will play the reserves.
My contract with City was set to end in 2015 and they had offered me a new deal earlier that summer, but I knew I was back-up to Pablo Zabaleta at right-back, who was firmly number one choice. Manuel Pellegrini basically said: 'You either sign a new deal, or you go. I said: 'I love the fact you want to tie me down but I know that I won't play unless Zabaleta gets injured so I can't do it. I can't be a bit-part player, because I have played first-team football all my life.
Manchester United and police are looking into the abuse midfielder Jesse Lingard received as he boarded the team coach after Thursday's 3-0 FA Cup win at Derby County's Pride Park. In a video shared on social media, people can be heard shouting obscenities, including a racial slur. One also shouts "zero goals and zero assists" at the England midfielder, 27. United are furious and feel the behaviour was unacceptable and should be condemned in the strongest terms.

Both of these sides are currently struggling, but we think that Fiorentina will take advantage with a result. La Viola will eventually turn things around under Iachini and meeting this SPAL side is the perfect chance. The visitors have lost seven of nine away trips this season, while Fiorentina won both meetings last term. With goals likely here, we’re backing a narrow victory for Fiorentina with a 2-1 home win our correct score pick.
The hosts have shown their creative side with back to back 2-2 draws, so if Jonathan Woodgate can sort out their defence then a survival bid looks promising. However, they could receive an early bounce on Wednesday night, as this Boro side are primed to take advantage of a Barnsley outfit who have been dire at times this season.
They were second best for large parts of the contest in last week's 1-1 draw away to strugglers Espanyol, although Periquitos really got their tails up after cancelling out Mata's early strike. Getafe are a far more formidable and consistent team at home, and they will fancy their chances of beating Levante here despite losing 0-1 in the last two meetings between the sides in Madrid.
They include why the game gave commentary wizard Barry Davies his big break at the BBC, how a downpour ruined the night in Vienna for City's WAGS but did not prevent the players from partying - and why the victorious Blues threatened Uefa with a European boycott afterwards. And what is undisputed is that a club so often derided by rival fans for having "no history", let alone any track record in Europe, were ahead of some now established Champions League giants when it came to pioneering success on foreign fields.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax are out of the Europa League after being beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Getafe over two legs. Ajax, who were 2-0 down from the first game, went behind early on as Jaime Mata opened the scoring for Getafe. Danilo quickly levelled for Ajax, before Mathias Olivera scored an own goal for the Spanish side in the second half to put Ajax 2-1 up. But Erik ten Hag's men, top of the Dutch Eredivisie by three points, could not find a way past the resilient Getafe, despite enjoying 70% of possession.
The fate of Cosenza in Serie B is seriously threatened. The hosts are in the relegation group when they only have 23 points after 24 rounds. This achievement of Cosenza is less than 3 points compared to the team that has to play relegation play-offs and less than 6 points with a safe position. This is the end of the season so everything becomes very difficult for Cosenza. Looking at Cosenza's performance, not many people dare to believe in their ability to escape to relegate their success. In the last 6 rounds, the home team lost to 5 matches, which is the most clear evidence.
I do it naturally. People want to work with good people. As long as you are a good man, you have good manners and want to bring the best from the players, the players will like you. I am very happy with my progression right now, working with Brendan Rodgers. I am learning a lot. When the time comes, everybody will feel it.
He walks his dogs on the beach, he plays guitar and studies for an economics degree in his spare time. I'm here and enjoying my football again," he recently told Saints' official website. I feel absolutely loved by the fans and my team, so all of that helps altogether. Any striker will tell you that when they're enjoying football and having fun, it brings out the best in you.

Stainless Pinsk will against Arsenal in match Belarusian Cup. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3.5 goals due to Stainless Pink on last 3 match can make total score is 4 goals. Meanwhile, Arsenal on last 3 match in league can make total score is 5 goals. Therefore, I think this match will much score from both team and moreover both teams currently play in different competition league. Surely Arsenal have more chance to make much score due to Stainless Pink only play in second division Belarusian League. Meanwhile, Arsenal play in division 1 of Belarusian League. Therefore, my prediction this match will the end score is over 3.5 goals.

Don’t take anything away from City – you earn the right to score goals sometimes. But it was poor decision-making, poor defending from Manchester United. The general performance, with and without the ball, was awful. Video - 'Pride at stake after worst United showing of season' - Solskjaer00:41 You can look at last night and say there’s maybe two players in there that came out of it well.
No side has suffered more defeats than Luton in the Championship this term, so it is no shock that Fulham are favourites here. Luton have lost nine of their last 11 league matches (W2 L9), including losing each of the last three in a row. The hosts also come into this clash with one of the league’s worst home records, as only two teams have fewer points at their own ground.
If it is to end tomorrow, then hopefully it will end on a high," Ferguson told a news conference on Friday. The players have been incredible. I'm happy with the job I've done. I think we've got a little bit of the club back, back to the fans. We've all pulled together. We've proved that we can beat top teams.
Date changed for weather reasons at Cameroon's request. Caf's deputy general secretary Tony Baffoe said: "We have reviewed the period of the competition as requested by the Cameroonian party due to unfavourable climatic conditions during the period initially slated. After listening to the various arguments and viewpoints - and in particular from the Cameroonian meteorological authorities, the coaches and players - the representatives of the Afcon organising committee, which received the mandate from Caf Executive Committee to take the decision, has granted this request.
I have to be honest and say I think the best team lost on the pitch but my team were the ones with more heart and went to their limit," he told BT Sport. So many difficulties to even build a team, the options were not options to change the game. My team to deserved to win – but the best team lost. From the intensity level and freshness, they were much stronger than us.

Braga remained a danger, however, and Paulinho looped a far-post header too high before Trincao curled a shot through Borna Barisic's legs and just past the post. There was no real indication of the tide turning as the second half began with Braga again in the ascendancy. Glen Kamara's misplaced header put Joao Palhinha in on goal, with the striker's heavy touch getting the hosts off the hook. A miscued Morelos cross from the right flank then deceived Matheus and almost ended up in the top corner.
