Guijuelo will play against Izarra in the Spain segunda division. Both teams are only separated by 2 points and will play tough contest. They almost have same quality of player this season and playing almost the same. Guijuelo maybe slighly favorite here as they have home advantage. Izarra is good in defensive play and I expect they won't let Guijuelo score easily of course. I hope there will be no goal in this match or this match can end in 1-1.. I don't think these teams can produce more than 2 goals here in this match. They have not so good attacking side. I expect a draw here.

While the January transfer window hasn't provided as many headlines as fans might expect, Milan supporters cannot complain about the inactivity of their club. Drastic action was required after their final game before the Italian winter break, a 5-0 defeat to Atalanta. It was a fitting note to end a dismal decade on for Milan, a ten-year period that produced only one major trophy: The Serie A title way back in 2010-2011.

The same goes for Neymar, another favourite of the Gulf state's ruler, and he too has another two years on his PSG deal. Most significantly, the tears that flooded from him after qualifying behind closed doors against Dortmund, and the acclaim of the fans outside the Parc des Princes' locked gates, suggested his Nou Camp nostalgia is no more. A thornier question for other less financially muscled French clubs will be how to hold on to their best players in the summer transfer window, if there is a mercato, as it's known in France.

Lecce have picked up the joint-fewest home points in Serie A this season (four), while Udinese have picked up the joint-fewest away points (four). We see the pair cancelling each other out, given that Udinese’s only away win came at bottom of the table Genoa. Given that Lecce have drawn four of their last five at home, we expect this one to finish level. Lecce have drawn 2-2 in three of their last four at home, so we’re backing a repeat of that scoreline.

Still, fair or not, this was another grim evening for Chelsea, who haven’t won in four and who a few months ago were comfortably clear in the Champions League places, ten points ahead of Manchester United.

And as an added quirk from this game, United’s win meant that Liverpool have officially qualified for the 2020/21 Champions League, in February, the day before the 2019/20 Champions League knockout stages start.

It can be said that this is the team that everyone wants to meet at the present time. At the end of the 2019 campaign, AB Argir only got 7th place overall. This is a result that is not unexpected by experts. What surprised them the most was that throughout the 2019 season, AB Argir only played well away.

We brought him on for (Mikael) Lustig and Adam Matthews went from left-back to right-back, Charlie Mulgrew went from left-wing to left-back, Georgios Samaras went from centre forward to wide left and we put Tony up there and told him to do what he could.
