It means that Madrid have failed to win three of their last four league matches. At the opposite end of the table, Eibar have also only managed one victory in four. Mallorca visited Eibar and left with a 2-1 victory, Real Madrid loanee Kuba scoring what proved to be the winning goal. They have a game in hand on their relegation rivals which will be played on Tuesday against Real Sociedad.
NK Dugopolje against HNK Sibenik here, meeting of 2 HNL of Croatian football which is played tomorrow afternoon at 1.30pm. Sibenik's favorite to win the match comes from a 1-0 home win against Dubrava while the hosts come from a 1-0 away defeat by Bijelo Brdo. Sibenik has the best technical quality here and I think they will score at least one or two goals against a team that until now has never managed to win against stronger opponents. The home team is currently suffering a lot. Let's try a 2 DNB mark at 1.50 and Good Luck to everyone! ;-)
However, Antonio Conte is loathe to let go of the Slovakian and it would take a bid of €80 million to prise him from their grasp. Bastoni, Skriniar, Getty ImagesGetty Images Paper Round's view: It is clear that Man City's top priority this summer should be the pursuit of a central defender, with their title defence this term having flailed thanks to injuries to the likes of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones.
I retired a few weeks later and, in March, I took over as manager of Oxford United, who were at the other end of the old Division One table and fighting for their lives. I'd only been in charge for a few weeks when we had just got a draw in a big game against Everton. Mike Ingham interviewed me for the BBC afterwards and said 'oh by the way you have got another medal to come - Liverpool have won the league today'.
I'm quite a stiff man and I do struggle, but fitness wise, every pre-season I came back I was always right up there. For a goalkeeper to have been ahead of me, it was not happening. On Begovic's goal: "As the ball bounced I was expecting Boruc to claim it, so I turned to Asmir and told him to relax and play out because it was early in the game. As I was trying to tell him all of this, the ball is in the back of the net, the whole ground has erupted and then I had to pretend it was a great goal.
Shakhter Soligorsk reserves have recorded a solid win in the latest match against Smolevichi reserves. They have scored 4 goals when playing on the road in that match, also they have scored in the latest home game against Neman reserves.
For Palace, the best they can achieve for the season is a 13th placed finish and that will need Newcastle United to draw or lose their final match. Crystal Palace won their first match after resumption of football, beating strugglers Bournemouth 2-0, but it has been downhill since, with seven straight losses and they have been misfiring as well in these matches.

Fukushima Olympic Flame display cancelled The exhibition of the Olympic Flame, due to remain on display in Fukushima until the end of the month, will be cancelled over coronavirus concerns, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee announced on Tuesday.

Racing Ferrol and Rayo Majadahonda will face each other in the Spanish segunda division. Rayo Majadahonda is in good shape and is sitting on 4th place in the table, while the hosts Racing Ferrol is sitting on the 8th place in the table. The host have managed only one win from the last 5 matches. At home they are a bit stronger, here they have only lost one game in this season. The visitors have won 3 of the last 5 matches. They also lost only one game away, with two of three games. This is a balanced match and I expect at least 3 goals here.

But much like Klopp, Watford boss Nigel Pearson did not want to overplay the significance of the result in their battle for Premier League survival. It is just one game," he said of the win that moved his side out of the bottom three on goal difference. We have 10 left and we have to try and emulate today in terms of performance. The results have not been what we wanted. We found it difficult to find ways of winning games.
Paolo Sousa's Bordeaux have been in flying form recently with an incredible mix of hungry youth players and experienced old heads carrying them up to 5th in the table. They have been so exciting to watch with teams struggling to keep up with their sharp passing and pace up top. However, they suffered a setback on Sunday as they endured their first defeat since October. The game finished 3-1 to Marseille despite Bordeaux leading at half-time but in truth it was a soggy performance from the Girondins, something that has been a rarity for them this season.

He's 30 years old, he'll be 31 next year. I don't know how long Gareth will play for. It's what his lifestyle wants. He loves Madrid. His children have been there since they were babies, they speak Spanish, believe it or not. The whole lifestyle is fantastic. I was there two days ago in Madrid, it was 15 degrees, beautiful.
Can he really get Alex Iwobi to give a few pennies return on that £34 million in a few months? To take his tutorage of Alessandro Del Piero, Andriy Shevchenko and Cristiano Ronaldo and apply it to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun? To make fantasy managers believe in Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman again? We wish Mikel and Carlo all the best, but we’re deeply worried for them… Josep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Manchester CityGetty Images 'A sick joke' Deep in Serie A’s headquarters in Milan, a discussion is taking place around a new anti-racism campaign.
But just before the half-time whistle, Serge Aurier, who has been like a player reborn under Mourinho, curled in his first Premier League goal in over a year to restore Tottenham's lead. Alli headed wide to spurn a glorious chance to put daylight between the sides after the restart, and it was a miss he would be left to rue as minutes later Diogo Jota restored parity once again, with Doherty laying on the assist.

Chelsea flew out of the traps looking to improve in their recent poor home form, and almost took the lead in fortuitous circumstances early on as Callum Hudson-Odoi clipped what looked like a cross over Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, but saw the ball hit the top of the crossbar. The hosts did not have to wait long, however, given more than a helping hand from a familiar source.
It's an extremely competitive league and we're proud of our position at the moment. We've worked extremely hard to get into that position. We've done a lot of things right and we're going to have to do a lot of things right between now and the end of the season. We need the bounce of the ball, to stay clear of big injuries.
The Turkish giants are one of the most successful teams in the country and won the 2019 championship. However, a competitive race combined with subpar results leaves them sixth in the table, eight points behind leaders Sivasspor. Wily coach Fatih Terim is an experienced veteran who will be confident of catching up over the coming weeks.

Real Oviedo I was used to see them fight for a play-off place in the past couple of seasons with usually a solid attack but not that solid defense, and they remain good at scoring with 22 goals scored in 18 games in the league so far but same poor defense with no less than 28 goals conceded and they are just the first club above the relegation zone at this moment despite winning last round 2-1 a home game.

Al Masry will host Smouha for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very tense match. Both teams want to get a positive result. Smouha have better results in this campaign. Also, Smouha are more ambitious team in this season. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. However, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Al Masry who's is a very unpredictable team in this campaign. In any case, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home field. They have the motivation to change their position. Also, Al Masry have better results in the last mutual matches. My pick - Al Masry to win.

We think this will be a tight game given Metz's awful away form and the fact that Rouen have had a great time playing in front of their own fans. There is a large chasm between the teams but as Rouen showed against Orléans, they are very capable of punching above their weight. As a result of this and given some of the bizarre results that this stage of the competition saw last year with Angers, Marseille and Montpellier all slipping up to lower league sides, we're backing this one to finish 1-1 with a double chance bet in favour of the hosts.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s cup tie and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in Benfica’s favour. The visitors are the clear choice to win the game as their side is packed with international players and they play two divisions above their hosts. However, a heavily rotated squad will even the playing field somewhat and with the hosts flying high in their respective division and scoring on a regular basis, we believe both teams will score on Saturday.

Saints have announced measures to help the club and non-playing staff through the ongoing pandemic. Southampton's players, manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and his coaching staff have agreed to defer part of their salaries for the months of April, May and June "to help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve.
Giroud is obviously not as mobile or pacy - he really relies on balls into the box - but the Frenchman is still very effective if you use him in the right way. He was Chelsea's man of the match in their win over Spurs last week, when he led the line so well and took his goal nicely. So, I don't think it's a disaster from Chelsea's point of view if they have to rely on him up front - in any case, they have bigger issues than that.
We have the VAR but the referee didn't want to go and have a look at the play. I could see it from the sidelines and it was clear," Vinicius told reporters. Referees always come here and make decisions against us on purpose, it's always the same. We are the team that has won the most league titles and most Champions League, it will always be like this.
England teenager Jadon Sancho scored in a seventh consecutive home Bundesliga appearance as Borussia Dortmund beat Freiburg. Only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - now at Arsenal - has ever had a longer run for the club, with 11 home goals in a row. Sancho tapped home Thorgan Hazard's cross from six yards out for the game's only goal. The 19-year-old winger has now scored 14 goals and assisted another 14 in the league this season.
Willian now joins this outstandingly consistent group of players. The Brazilian was at the heart of yet another successful performance by Chelsea, this time against Crystal Palace. Frank Lampard needs to think long and hard before letting Willian leave Stamford Bridge. I don't thing Ross Barkley, Mason Mount or Ruben Loftus-Cheek are ready to replace him so he'd better have someone in mind who can.
The truth for football authorities everywhere is that there are no certainties at the moment and there will be setbacks. The only good news is that although there are a lot of fixtures to pack in, time is relatively on German football's side compared to the other big European leagues, who are still wondering if and when they'll be able to return. Now the DFL will be hoping that this will be the only fixture they'll have to postpone on their high profile re-opening weekend.
