It was Boca's third league title in four years and robbed River of their first league flag since 2014. Tevez scored the vital goal that clinched Boca the titleGetty Images The win was a revenge of sorts for Boca, who lost to River in the Copa Libertadores final in 2018 and semi-final last year. It was a terrible blow for coach Marcelo Gallardo, who was hoping to win his first league title.
Liefering and Dornbirn will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Liefering this season have the following results: 8W, 7D and 7L. Meanwhile Dornbirn have 6W, 7D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Both teams are high scoring teams close in the league standings both with more than 30 goals scored so far but also more than 30 goals conceded by them this season, so we should really have a good game here as Kaiserslautern with a couple of wins in a row can get close to the top while Bayern II tried to keep on their attacking approach both at home and away from home and despite conceding a lot they also score a lot and are so far safe from relegation zone but would not mind taking all 3 points from this one.
Whilst Wigan hardly came into the season expecting to fight at the top end of the Championship, their performances in it so far have been disappointing. Indeed, the side find themselves second bottom and 3 points short of safety, after taking just 17 points from 21 outings.
Some games are just too sure for over goals, just like this game between SV Mattersburg vs Wolfsberger AC, if you look at the games played by both team and if you look at their odds distribution you will notice that they have been most goals scored by each team in previous game. Games played by both team and today’s each team playing each other or SV Mattersburg playing home or Wolfsberger AC playing away or Wolfsberger AC playing from home or a SV Mattersburg playing from away, you will notice that there have been more than two Goals, some more than one Goals so in today's prediction we are going to be taking over 2.5 goals in this prediction because the statistic is more favorable to our side in this prediction today that is where we are now taking any team not to win the game, but rather we are going to be taking over goes in this prediction.
They are only a point behind fourth placed United but that position is likely to be the highest they can finish this season as there's a 14 point gap to third placed Chelsea Reading come into this game having lost their last two of their last three league games. Both of those games were away from home though and their home record is much better.
He wanted the women's team to do well and he was very motivational. He went out of his way to find me when I was injured because he knew I was upset. He sat with me and checked in with me every now and again. He would say to me: 'It's just in the mind, you can get through it. Those little conversations are important. That's probably why he has been given another year. But Mikel Arteta needs to make sure he manages Luiz properly.
They then reached a low point with a home defeat against Fiorentina which Gattuso described as embarrassing. The 42-year-old, renowned as being one of the most fiercely competitive players of his generation, is not one to give up easily, however, and took them away to a training camp so they could discuss things "face to face".
Posted at 74' Christopher Antwi-Adjei (SC Paderborn 07) wins a free kick on the left wing. Posted at 73' Attempt missed. Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund) right footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Thorgan Hazard. Posted at 68' Foul by Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund).
The hosts are one of the main relegation candidates in the league this season playing quite poor football both at home but also away from home and most important for this bet when they visited Zwolle in the first part of the season they conceded no less than 6 goals in the end as they lost the game with 6-2, so by 4 goals difference as they allowed goal after goal to their opponents, and they are really not much better side at home.
The side who took their lead at the top of the division is this Tuesday’s visitors, Wycombe Wanderers. Since Jim Bentley left Morecambe in League Two, boss Gareth Ainsworth became the longest serving manager in the Football League and his performance in the role is testament to the mindset of giving managers time in order for their vision to be achieved. Wycombe have won 11 times this season and a trip to Gillingham back in September was the only time they have come away with no return. Although their strength is at home, they are full of confidence and know the importance of this fixture so should come out on top.
Posted at 19' Attempt missed. Andreas Cornelius (Parma) left footed shot from outside the box is too high. Assisted by Gastón Brugman. Posted at 18' Attempt missed. Riccardo Gagliolo (Parma) left footed shot from the left side of the box misses to the right. Assisted by Jasmin Kurtic. Posted at 16' Thiago Cionek (SPAL) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
A poor run over the next few games could see both these teams being dragged into a relegation battle. Some good results though, either in the Premier League or FA Cup could see them challenging for Europe. Arsenal are drawing too many games but gradually improving at home. Newcastle continue to be inconsistent and aren't at their best on the road. Go for Arsenal to get the win here.
This fixture features No. 4 vs No. 15 in the league, Pescara vs Cremonese. The hosts coming from a 1 - 2 away win to Empoli (no. 6 in the league) and their last home game a 3 - 0 win over PISA. The visitors coming from a 1 - 0 home win over Salernitana (No. 8 in the league) and their last away game a 2 - 0 loss to Cosenza. The hosts should win this one as they played a higher table team than the visitors scoring multiple goals and conceding one goal to win the match then winning their last home game to a team above the visitors scoring multiple goals without conceding facing a team coming from playing a team below the hosts and winning the match then playing a team below the hosts and losing their last away game without scoring so a win to the hosts.
Because I can source direct at cost price using the not-for-profit donations, it means I can physically buy the product and get it delivered to where it is needed most.

His best La Liga finish was as Real Betis coach in 2018, taking them to sixth and qualifying for the Europa League, but he parted ways with them last season as the team ended up 10th.

That’s because every one of Liverpool’s home games this season has seen at least three goals scored, and they’re actually yet to keep a clean sheet at Anfield. Watford haven’t exactly been the most prolific going forward, but their catastrophic defence has seen them concede an average of 2.13 goals per away game this season. For this reason, backing a Liverpool Win and Over 2.5 Goals looks a very solid option to kickstart the weekend.

In the end, we’re backing the home side to topple Sheffield United’s unbeaten away record. The Blades have ridden their luck at times this season, and with Wolves in such good form we think a 2-1 win for the hosts is a good option.
City's number 2 was talked about as a possible successor to Arsene Wenger when the Frenchman stepped down 18 months ago, but was eschewed in favour of former Paris Saint Germain boss Emery.

We are pretty much always ready -- if we can do something which helps us, we will try to do it. If not we will not. In the January 2018 window Klopp splashed out on signing Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk, now the core of his side's defence, from Southampton. Guardiola told reporters he did not want any new players in January but the club, third in the Premier League, would have to refresh the squad at the end of the season.
Leeds have been extremely good at times this season. It can take them several weeks to find their rhythm once they have lost it though, which is why we suggest backing Cardiff in a double chance bet here.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has now scored 16 goals in 14 games against Leicester in all competitions, more than he's scored against any other opponent in his career. Tottenham's Lucas Moura assisted two goals in a single game for Tottenham for only the second time, also doing so against Rochdale in the FA Cup in February 2018. Tottenham Hotspur have benefited from more own goals (5) than any other team in the Premier League this season.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of Dortmund's last seven Bundesliga games. Furthermore, seven of Dortmund's eight Bundesliga away games have also seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Etihad's Euro atmosphere can be electric Pep Guardiola has won back to back Premier League titles with Manchester CityAs their games in Europe become more important, they also get harder - and the players will need every bit of drive and encouragement they can get. I understand why they are booing, and it is a protest against the treatment they feel they and their club have had from European football's governing body Uefa, not because they don't want to win the competition.
Speaking at a press conference before Thursday's Europa League tie at Club Bruges, Solskjaer added: "It has taken time. I'm not a doctor but obviously I was hoping that he would recover quicker than it looks like he is going to. It looks like he is going to be out for a few months definitely. He had a scan and it is more severe than we expected. When it heals he'll be stronger for it so we can't rush him"United signed former Watford forward Odion Ighalo from Shanghai Shenhua in January and Solskjaer said he could play against Bruges.
The Blues have a forward who can prey on this weak Luton side. Since the start of last season, Birmingham City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has scored more headed goals than any other Championship player (11). He should prey on the worst defence in the league, while the visitors’ will get plenty of joy going forward, having scored the most set-piece goals in the league. Five of Luton's last seven league goals have come via set pieces (two corners, two free-kicks, one penalty).
Their away form was especially disappointing with losses at Athletic Bilbao, Granada and Levante plus draws at Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Espanyol.

Reading's 1-1 draw in the FA Cup arena over the weekend helped Cardiff extend their unbeaten run to five consecutive matches in all competitions. In the Championship arena they still have hope for a promotion playoffs when they are 7 points less than the Top 6 while the season still has 16 rounds to play. Although the match was not successful in the English First Division, but Cardiff is the team with the best home record. Specifically, Cardiff has only lost 1 match out of the 13 matches played and won up to 7 matches. I choose X at this match.
After finishing his playing career at Porto in 2010 - having famously been an unused substitute in the club's 2004 Champions League win under Jose Mourinho during an earlier stint at the Estadio do Dragao - the rookie coach was handed his first chance at Rio Ave, a club used to plodding along in the Portuguese top flight. To shake things up, a young squad and dynamic coaching team was assembled. Hassan 'Kouka' Ahmed was in his first season as a professional at Rio Ave when Nuno arrived.
Many went to Paris anyway, just to be near to the event and soak up its magic.

I think it will be a lot of goals in this match who will be play tonight in Danish Cup and that is pretty real to expect, really is.
