Fancy tips from Federer? 13:30 - Financial fair play must continue during pandemic - La Liga chief La Liga president Javier Tebas has warned against relaxing UEFA's financial fair play rules as clubs struggle to cope with a loss of income due to the pause in competitions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Captain Dusan Tadic suffered a severe dip in form and fellow veteran Daley Blind was diagnosed with heart problems, although he has since made a return. They missed too the dramatic momentum of last season when the footballing world fell in love with Ajax again as they grabbed international headlines and sparked memories of a glorious past and their four European Cup wins.
Serie A’s leading scorer Ciro Immobile took his tally up to 17 goals for the season with two strikes inside the opening 36 minutes, the second from the penalty spot, before Luis Alberto added a third with another spot kick on the brink of halftime. The result leaves the capital club on 30 points, although Cagliari and Roma can move two points behind them by beating Sampdoria and Hellas Verona respectively.
Speaking of sides who have started to come on strongly, Harrogate Town have enjoyed a much stronger run in the league in the last few months. After missing out via the play-offs last term, the visitors have been determined to challenge up at the top once again this season and the 43 points they have to their name so far this season is good enough to put them in fourth place in the league.
Hull city is playing pretty bad at home recently but on the road they are playing fantastic, they won 3 in a row and I believe they are going to continue with that streak today versus the derby county, of course it is not easy at all to beat derby on the road and because of that the odd on hull is this high but still derby is not so good team at all and they are closer to the relegation zone then to the playoff zone and on this Odd I Will take the hull for the win but double chance is much safer option
They actually go into this match in rather poor form with just one win in their last six league games, and even though this did come against heavyweights Metz, the league leaders had to play over 45 minutes with ten men. Raon-l'Étape have conceded ten goals and scored nine in this time but could do with a real confidence boost here. The fifth-tier side have really gone off the boil in recent weeks with their home form also taking a hit. They opened the season with four home wins in a row but since then they have won just one of their last three at the Stade Paul-Gasser with a 4-3 defeat to third bottom Sarreguemines being the worst result so far.
Penalties are tough, especially in pressure situations, but we'll sit down with players and try and find the next solution. The former Liverpool skipper said he was delighted with his team for making it through to the next round. I'm super proud of the players -- to a man they were outstanding. It's one thing giving a team a game plan but you've got to trust them to go and carry it out," Gerrard added.
Kane to the rescue once again. Did you know? Only Alan Shearer (145) and Sergio Aguero (138) have scored more Premier League goals in their first 200 appearances in the competition than Harry Kane (136). Martial: I think I saw Anthony Martial smile over the Christmas period. This lad only seems happy when he's scoring goals. Against Newcastle he bagged two and his second was gorgeous. I was beginning to have my doubts that Martial was the right man to lead the line for Manchester United.
Another friendly match between two Swedish clubs. Both of the teams compete in one of the weakest divisions of Swedish football. Oskarshamns AIK are on one level above than the guests Linneryd. They are rightfully so big favorites to win, however this is not competitive match so anything is possible. For that reason instead of betting on winner, I decided to try with total goals. I expect both teams to score, so I will try with over 2.5 goals. The odds are far from good but I think there is big chance for this bet to be accomplished. Good luck.
They have only lost two of the 17 matches played there this season, one of those being decided by penalties. However, they rarely blitz opponents on their own patch. Their 3-1 home win over Riga last August is the only one of their last ten European matches at Parken in which they have scored more than one goal.

Liverpool would win the title and Leicester and Chelsea would go into the Champions League along with either Manchester City or United depending on how City’s appeal against their European ban goes. Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich would go down. BBC Sport has looked back over the previous 10 Premier League seasons to see how much has changed in the final nine games to get a sense of whether those matches actually tend to impact on the table.

Liverpool have one point from eight games. Liverpool have only scored one league goal this season. West Ham beat Manchester United last weekend and their only away losses have been against the top two. Life for the female players at Liverpool FC isn't quite as successful as it is for their male counterparts.
Christian Gourcuff's Nantes have been quietly going about their business this season with them currently sitting 5th despite little to no buzz about them at the start of the campaign. They've lost just two of their last six league games with three wins in there for good measure. Their most recent league game was a 2-1 loss in the derby to Angers but they bounced back in their first game of 2020 by beating Aviron Bayonnais in the Coupe de France.
Left vacant for the four-year duration of the war, the Scudetto was eventually awarded to Genoa without the outstanding games ever being played. It is not clear when exactly the title was handed to Genoa, but one take of the story states that it was so awarded because of the Rossoblu's perceived superiority over Lazio at the time. With Lazio currently second to Juventus by just a point in Serie A, the Biancocelesti will be hoping their fate is not once again taken entirely out of their control.

MONDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Video - Ozil invited to visit Xinjiang by Chinese government official following Muslim crackdown allegation00:31 15:50 - King hoping experience will pay off for Spurs Ledley King is hoping that Tottenham's Champions League experience - and Jose Mourinho's pedigree in the competition - will be key to their round of 16 tie against RB Leipzig.
The psychological impact and motivation of a new, determined manager helps. Defender Craig Dawson told the club's official website: "The thing that has changed totally: the work rate. Everyone is working hard for each other. If someone is slightly out of position, the person next to them is helping them out. You can see that throughout the pitch. Everyone has got each other's backs. The Hornets are also more settled and structured, with Pearson largely consistent in his selection and relying on a back four in front of Foster - one of the division's best keepers - as opposed to the three or five favoured by Flores.
Matondo 'proud' of racism standIn an incident-packed encounter, Werner - who has 25 Bundesliga goals this season - missed a chance to increase his tally when he fired over with just the goalkeeper to beat. Former Everton winger Ademola Lookman also featured for Leipzig after coming on as a substitute. Bayern Munich will wrap up an eighth consecutive Bundesliga title on Saturday if they beat Borussia Monchengladbach (17:30 BST) and Borussia Dortmund lose at Fortuna Dusseldorf (14:30).
They have won three of their four Premier League matches since the former Manchester United and Chelsea boss took charge, only faltering on his return to Old Trafford last week. That being said, their wins have come against the likes of West Ham, Bournemouth and Burnley, all of whom aren’t on the same level as this Wolves side.
She netted six and assisted a further four before Joe Montemurro withdrew his star striker prior to Emma Mitchell's late 11th. To make things even more absurd, it was the Dutch star who held the previous WSL record for direct goal involvements, when she scored a hat-trick and assisted twice against Liverpool last September.
TALKING POINT - Should the goal have stood? There will be some hoo-ha after the match over the legitimacy of the goal, but it is for the sides to be ready for the referee. If he thought they’d had enough time to get themselves ready - and it seemed that way - then so be it. Dunk should be praised for his quick thinking, and Liverpool need to be wary of slipping into complacency.

Southampton's recent efforts against useful Premier League teams suggest that they can get the better of a Championship side that isn't in the best position. Punters can profit by siding with 'Southampton to Win & Over 2.5 Goals'. Huddersfield shipped five against Stoke last time out, while they've also tended to flounder defensively when playing away against the better Championship teams, conceding three or more away to Bristol City, Preston and West Brom.

Lo and behold, whose face is plastered over the Telegraph this morning? The grown man who thinks he is a lion. With Zlatan currently available on a free transfer following the end of his contract with LA Galaxy, it seems moves are already afoot to bring him to Mourinho’s new project. As the Telegraph reports: " Mourinho signed Ibrahimovic, also on a free transfer, for Manchester United in 2016, with the Swede scoring 26 goals in 46 appearances before a serious knee threatened to end his career.
Burton have found it tough to be prolific scorers at home this term, but they found their scoring touch last time out, while their defensive efforts have simply been far better than Tranmere's, which leads us to 'Burton to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. Forging a few scoring opportunities against a defence that ships an average of 2.1 goals shouldn't be difficult, while keeping out a low-scoring team should be well within the grasp of The Brewers too. After all, Burton have kept a clean sheet in 44% of their games at Pirelli Stadium and have surrendered the fewest home goals in the division. In addition, less than four goals have been scored in seven of Burton's eight games at this venue.

Despite being in place at every Premier League ground, pitchside monitors have not been used at all in more than 140 games so far this season, and Wenger feels that is a problem.

Miguel Almiron scored twice against Championship leaders West Brom as Newcastle United reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2006. The Magpies were bright and sharp throughout, with Paraguay forward Almiron taking his tally to four goals in this season's competition. In an entertaining tie, he opened the scoring after a sublime pass by Allan Saint-Maximin shortly after the Frenchman had hit the post.
Those are our two main competitions. Our hopes are after this year to qualify for the Concacaf Champions League and to continue to develop and push for an MLS championship, and hopefully in the first few years we can continually get better so that we can push to be more competitive in all those environments. What can realistically be expected this season?The pragmatism off the field Beckham and McDonough both allude to could be reflected on it, but that does not mean it will not manifest itself in attractive attacking football at some point.
Osasuna's strength at home and Sociedad's regular failure to back up good results means we're siding with the hosts here, and we certainly wouldn't deter punters from getting stuck into Jagoba Arrasate's men in the double chance market.
This is another match that will be played without spectators. Here the host has a great advantage. Leverkusen can use this opportunity to get involved in the fight for the first place again if Bayern does not win 3 points away against Borussia Dortmund today. Leverkusen have a series of 11 victories in the last 12 matches, which only shows that they are in great form. They were not disturbed by this break. In 2020, Leverkusen scored at least 2 goals in each match on this field. So I believe this is another of their victories. Wolfsburg is definitely a worse team at the moment
I knew the angle was tight so I got enough on it to dink it over him. I thought it might be offside - I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out!"Southampton forward Michael Obafemi: "It was good to get the goal but in the end it didn't mean anything. The boys just have to come together again. We had a good run, we'll try to pick it back up again and hopefully we do.
