No team in La Liga has a better home record than Barcelona. They have won 12 of their 13 games, losing none. And yet, it feels as though a bad result at the Camp Nou could be on the cards against La Real. Barca have struggled to settle under Quique Setien and we don't see them suddenly getting their act together when Sociedad come to town. Back the visitors double chance.

Olympiakos will host Wolves in the Europa League on Thursday after Uefa rejected Wolves' request for the last-16 first-leg match to be postponed. The Premier League says it has no plans to postpone any other matches and "all necessary measures are being taken". Brighton say their home game against Arsenal on Saturday (15:00 GMT) "remains scheduled to go ahead as planned". The risk is considered extremely low with the self-isolation period for those players ending on Thursday," the Seagulls said.
The shift away from big-name 'Galactico' signings represents Real's determination not to miss out on the next Neymar, whom the club tried to sign back in 2013 before he opted to join Barca. Over the past two years they have snapped up Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo – both 18 – and Reinier appears to be the next Brazilian from the production line set for the Bernabeu.
Beckham exercised that option six years ago but it took several years to get the team up and running because of arguments over a stadium site. The club will have to play 30 miles from Miami until they relocate in 2022. There was never a moment when I said I would walk away but there were moments when I thought this might not happen," Beckham said in a news conference in New York recently. I have always loved a challenge.
This bank holiday weekend was supposed to bring the FA Cup and Championship play-off finals - arguably the most renowned and richest games in club football. Instead there is a void. While those at the top of the football food chain may be able to ride out the financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic, clubs and players down the English Football League and below are preparing for seismic changes to both the sport and the livelihoods of those who rely on it.

Roma's recent efforts at home against the likes of struggling sides Milan and Brescia, both of whom they beat and scored multiple goals against, bode well ahead of this match. A repeat of those antics would surely see Paulo Fonseca record a third straight home win.
The midfielder was making his first appearance in the league since mid-December and wasted little time in making an impact on his struggling team, setting up Angel Correa to score the only goal of the game in the sixth minute. Atletico were comfortable in the first half but began to suffer in the second and it took a world class save from goalkeeper Jan Oblak to prevent Granada's Roberto Soldado levelling with a backheel.
Onel Hernandez: Norwich winger and his country's curious football scene Norwich's goal was only their seventh away from home in the Premier League all seasonNorwich have received plaudits for their style of football since winning promotion from the Championship last season, and gained some impressive results, including wins over Manchester City, Leicester and Everton and draws with Arsenal and Tottenham.
The fans have mostly kept the faith, giving Simeone loud ovations when his name was announced before recent home meetings with Leganes and Granada. But there were outbreaks of whistled complaints against the team's efforts during those two games, and the overwhelming mood among Atletico fans is that something must change if the team want to compete for major titles. For now, that 'something' is not expected to be the departure of Simeone, whose position as iconic leader remains intact after his transformation of the club's fortunes since his arrival in December 2011.

I think there is still time for us to win the league. Real captain Sergio Ramos underlined the importance of the victory for his side after a week in which they were reeling from a Champions League last 16, first-leg defeat at home to Manchester City and a shock 1-0 Liga loss away to Levante. This was a unique opportunity to put our own fate in our own hands for the rest of the season, against a brilliant side but with our fans on our side," he said.

Orlando Pirates will head to this game as favorites going by their record over Golden Arrows, but we just don’t know how their reaction will be after the loss in Soweto Derby. Golden Arrows will want to take advantage of that but they have not been doing so well lately. Arrows have struggled, and most of their good times came late in games or were errors by opponents. With the two sides’ issues coming to this game, it is tough to make a pick but one factor that stands out is the shyness in attack. Just one of the last five meetings has seen both sides score, and only that game has ended in over 2.5 goals. Both sides have not been scoring a lot too ahead of this game, so our pick will be on the game to end with under 2.5 goals.

Emmanuel Monthe had put the hosts, who are deep in relegation trouble in League One (third tier), ahead in the 36th minute for a well deserved lead.
The guests are just a relegation candidate with two losses in a row at this moment, it is true they did not score in those two games losing with 4-0 and 2-0 but they have quality in attack and once a goal down they do try to score, they even won a game at Bukairiyah with 3-2 thanks to the fact that the hosts in that game received a red card and they are fine at scoring.
Marcus Rashford's brace ensured former manager Jose Mourinho's return to Old Trafford ended in a 2-1 defeat on Wednesday and the win for United -- which moved them up to sixth -- gave the club something to celebrate after their worst start to a season since 1988.

Italy has emerged as the worst-hit country outside China with over 35,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and nearly 3,000 deaths. Serie A was the first of the big five European leagues to be suspended and the stoppage is expected to last for weeks or months, causing significant damage to clubs' revenues.
The visitors seem to be quite fancied by the bookies for this clash, as they’re not picking a clear favourite for this one. That may line up with their positions in the table, but it’s odd considering the seven-point gap between them. It’s even stranger when you look at Stoke’s awful record on their travels.

Too good to be true! Three goals you would see in a playground. Keighlan Coe: They were doing alright until they conceded, then you could see them crumble mentally and they panicked every time they had the ball it seemed. Would have won that with a stronger mentality. Ken McKirdy: Celtic were awful tonight - especially at the back - and deserved nothing from that game. Missed Ryan Christie big time.
Ljungberg's first match in charge will be at Norwich on Sunday, with Arsenal in ninth place, eight points off the top four. First and foremost, Freddie has Arsenal DNA," Kroenke, son of Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, said.

My message to Freddie and the players was let's get back to basics and most importantly let's get back to having some fun.

First of all I thought my players were terrific. We didn't deserve to lose," said Moyes, who looked incredulous at the VAR decision. We were worth at least a draw. It was a good goal. Anybody who has played football or been around the game knows it was a good goal. Declan Rice did really good to break through the middle.
Reims may not score too many goals at home, but their defensive strength has given them a platform to defeat the likes of Montpellier and Lille this term. Moreover, if the hosts, who've conceded the lowest number of shots on target in Ligue 1 this term, continue to restrict as they've done all season, then they aren't likely to be without scoring chance against a St. Etienne defence that has leaked plenty of goals on the road.
AS Monaco have had two successive victories in the last two rounds, with 1-0 against opponents not rated as Angers or Amiens. However, these are victories that help them regain their form, and create better psychological momentum for them in the coming period when they have previously gone through 3 consecutive games without a hand. The home ground of Gonzalez's army is quite good when winning the last 10/14 matches on all fronts . Montpellier had a very effective time when there were 5 consecutive wins, including 3 in Ligue 1 and 2 in the national cup. However, the recent time has shown the decline of this team when the last 4 matches they have won only 1, drew 1 and lost 2
Inverness CT will host Queen of the South for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Inverness is one of the best teams in this season. However, the hosts have highly variable results in the last matches. In previous game Inverness lost 2-0 against weak Alloa. Also, we have Queen of South who's is one of the teams of relegation zone. The visitors have less potential. In last game Queen of the South played in a 1-1 draw with Dunfermline. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. However, this will be a very unpredictable league. Also, they have the motivation to change their positions.
For all the moralising, Hegerberg's ongoing absence has drawn more attention to the situation than it would have done had she played and then tried to make her voice heard post-match.

Everton head to this game on the back of a heavy beating at Wolves and will want to regain the lost ground. However, it will not be easy, with Aston Villa heading to Liverpool with renewed belief after their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. Villa have not done very well away from home but here their backs are against the wall and we expect that they will give more than they have done in previous matches. They meet an Everton side with a good home run in recent matches but low in confidence after the defeat at Wolves and a run of two losses in the last three games. As they fight for survival, we expect Villa to take the bigger initiative here and we will go with either a win for them or a draw.
Tottenham Hotspur will play host to Liverpool in this match. Am a Spurs fan and it's not everytime I bet against my team but in this match I see just 1 winner and that's Liverpool. Tottenham coming to this match has a lot of injuries and a lot of players who aren't performing well. The most important injury they have is that of Sissoko, he's literally the only one who plays well in the whole team and you wonder which player will step up to play like him.
