He was part of a squad that included both Jan Oblak and Ederson, now at Atletico Madrid and Manchester City respectively and two of the world's finest goalkeepers. We used to go paintballing and zipwiring as a squad," the Olympiakos and Egypt striker recalls. It was a little bit risky but it was fun and brought the group together. After matches and training, the squad would spend time together and this was something he thought was important - he wants everyone to be united and sometimes he does different things to create a good atmosphere.
Odds are excellent for the over 2.5 goals bet in this one perhaps one of the reason could be that BATE last round won only 1-0 at home with very defensive minded Rukh Brest while this week in the cup they lost the first leg away at Slavia Mozyr with 1-0 but once more faced a very defensive minded team. Still Minsk had the lead in the second part of last season 3-0 by the 20 minute of the game with BATE at home, they did concede 2 goals shortly after the restart in the second half but still won the game with 3-2.
That has us backing a home win and under 3.5 goals as our main tip in this one. We’re also backing Leeds to follow up on their solid home form with a 2-0 victory. The hosts have won to nil in 50% of their home matches so far this season, while 67% of Middlesbrough’s league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored. That has us going with a 2-0 home win in our correct score tip.
Southend are heading for League 2, there can be no denying that, but they're certainly showing some fight. Frankly, if they're looking for a better opportunity to treat the Roots Hall crowd to a win, then it's not going to come. The recent goal-scoring exploits of the hosts bode well ahead of a match against a Tranmere side that has struggled massively on the road. While Southend are unbeaten in their last two at home, scoring four goals in the process and posting an encouraging 28 shots, ten of which hit the target, Tranmere have lost each of their last three on the road and have looked relatively weak in doing so.

After initially stating that players had to be born in Cornwall to be eligible, Bragg changed the rules after realising a lot of players in the west of the county may actually have been taken across the Tamar to Devon to be born at the nearest hospital in Plymouth. Now, provided you came to live in the county before your 16th birthday, you are eligible to play for Kernow. We've got a couple of lads who play down in Australia who are very interested in coming over and we've got a couple of lads who play over in Sweden who have committed to coming to North Macedonia with us," Bragg continued.
Derby County players and staff have agreed to take wage deferrals amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Championship side has not revealed how big a percentage of wages are being deferred but said it was "considerably more than has been reported".

A Rams statement "specifically" thanked Rooney for his "help and support".

BATE Borisov has been gaining momentum since their bad start, and actually I think they will hammer this fragile Smolevichi that probably will end up being relegated back to Pershaya where, honestly, it's their place. I will place this value AH -1,75 and I think BATE will easily win this match 2 x 0 if not more. # x 0 is my guess for this Smolevichi x BATE. BATE is looking up for the 1st place on the table and they know if they get there it will be hard for Dinamo Brest catch up with them later on. 3 points for BATE
Former Molde and Norway U21 manager Tor Ole Skullerud, who is an expert for Eurosport Norway, was then asked about the decisions Haaland has made. Yes [they have been the right decisions], because it can be really tempting to choose a little bit bigger than Austria, Salzburg, when he got his first international breakthrough.
He also scored a penalty that day. Look. Away. Now. Liverpool give Chelsea their dues - 2014-15 The air was blueChelsea actually helped to hand the title to Liverpool this year, when they beat Manchester City after the resumption of the Premier League. That will feel extra sweet on the Kop, given the amount of grief they've had from Chelsea and Chelsea fans over the years - not least that time in the 2013-14 season when a Steven Gerrard slip against the Blues proved costly as Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side let the title slide from their grasp.
As a result, investment in the sport in China has skyrocketed in the six years since Xi - a well-known football fan - came to power, although the fortunes of the national team lag behind the leading nations in Asia.

The Premier League made its return after a 100-day absence as Aston Villa and Sheffield United played out a goalless draw in a match memorable for powerful statements before kick-off - and a major technology controversy.

In the first leg of the coppa Italia semi final between Milan and Juventus, Milan outplayed Juventus, however the match end with a draw 1:1. Now Juventus has huge advantage playing at home and I think they will win, but also they will try to recover some of the lost confidence after their shock defeat in the champions league vs Lyon. There is huge quality difference between these two teams, so I think there is big possibility Juventus to win by 2 goals difference. After all, they have Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad. As I said, my bet is Juventus ah -1.5
Excelsior beat Dordrecht 3-2 in the pairs’ reverse league fixture back in October and have won 12 of their last 29 matches against Friday’s hosts.

I said at the beginning we want to write our own stories, create our own history," said Klopp. Obviously, the boys took that really seriously and that is all cool but just not too important at the moment.

Even with their domestic failures, Emery’s side remain unbeaten in all competitions at home this season, and they have scored at least two goals in eight of their 10 matches. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have shipped two or more goals in five of their nine away games since the Bundesliga season started, so we think backing Arsenal Over 1.5 Team Goals looks a great choice here.
A couple he made from close range to deny Isco and Benzema after the break stand out in particular and, given Courtois’ unconvincing display, many of the home fans may wish he was still guarding their net. KEY MOMENTS 17’ - GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 PSG (Benzema). What a lovely team goal! Following nice work from Hazard, Valverde and Carvajal have an overlap on the right.
Arsenal de Sarandi will host Aldosivi for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Arsenal Sarandi have advantage at home stadium. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. True, this will not be an easy task. Arsenal Sarandi have fallen in their shape. They have two consecutive losses. In any case, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Aldosivi who's is also not very good team in this season. Nevertheless, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance on the road. My pick - Aldosivi to win.

Five of their last six home matches across all competitions have produced over 2.
However, against Aston Villa - and games don't get much bigger than Wembley cup finals - I thought Foden played brilliantly. The discipline he showed throughout the match and the way he constantly held his position, and the team their shape, indicated that here is a real team player. It was Foden's ball back across the box that provided the opening for Sergio Aguero to score. For Foden to start and finish such a high-profile game suggests he is growing fast and winning Pep Guardiola's trust.

Smolevichy-STI is in this moment better team and they are have 0-2-2, so we will what will happen this time. As I said, I hope that we will see at least two goals in this match.

Following the tests carried out today on our player, Eden Hazard, by the Real Madrid medical department, he has been diagnosed with a fracture to his right distal fibula," a Real Madrid statement read.

The area where the visitors need to improve is their defence. They head into this clash without a clean sheet in five, while they’ve seen both teams score in 82% of their away trips this term. We see them maintaining that record here, with the hosts seeing their last three home clashes finish with both teams scoring. BTTS has landed in seven of Wednesday’s last eight, so it’s our pick on this one.
