Both of these teams have provided plenty of entertaining games for Bundesliga fans this season. Both teams have scored in nine of Freiburg's 12 Bundesliga games this season. Both teams have also scored in eight of Monchengladbach's last 11 competitive games.
There is little time for Mourinho to settle in, especially with a Champions League knockout place to confirm as well, and he will be hoping the classic ‘new manager bounce’ will lift his new side up into the top half of the table going into the busy Christmas schedule. West Ham are 16th themselves and in dire need of a win – this is not an ideal place for Mourinho to begin his Spurs tenure.
When we played against Liverpool we were getting better as a team. After 45 minutes we were 2-0 down. The atmosphere was unbelievable. Mark Hughes came on and was unbelievable for us, after a few minutes we scored and there was electricity on the pitch, you could feel it was a special game. In the end, we came from 2-0 down to beat Liverpool 4-2. Football hero growing up?"My first one when I was very young, growing up in my hometown.
The VFL Bochum is in really good shape after the restart. In addition, the offense is right, which usually scored twice per game. At Greuther Furth it was rather minimalistic and in none of the games, except vs. the HSV, at 2: 2 / H for the restart, more than two goals were scored. So I'm betting on the offensive style of the hosts and the freedom of both teams to be able to play freely, since the table doesn't really go up or down for either of them.

Conceded by Nick Powell. Konyaspor are unbeaten in five of their last six home matches. Istanbul Basaksehir have won four of their last five Super Lig matches.
One Premier League goal all season, and currently enduring a run of 22 consecutive top-flight games and 1,856 minutes without finding the net. Newcastle striker Joelinton's statistics don't make pleasant viewing for a player that cost a club record £40m in the summer. Manager Steve Bruce admitted after his side's 4-0 thrashing at Arsenal on Sunday that those at the club "would all like him to have 12 or 15 goals" by now.
One more great match for today from Premier league where I hope that we will see easy home win. I was watched Liverpool few times in last few weeks and generally, I think they are fall in form. In last match in Champions league, they are played at home just 1-1 against Italian Napoli, but this time, they will not have problems. Brighton is ok team, but just when they are playing at home. In this case, they will not do anything here, at least I think so. Over is very real but also and easy home win, so I will try.
The 1974 World Cup - what do you think of? West Germany, total football, Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer? No? Perhaps just one team remaining unbeaten during the tournament, only to be knocked out in the first round having conceded just a single goal?Scotland were the only team from the British Isles to make it. What's more, it was the first time they had qualified since 1958. The official World Cup song was called Easy, Easy - but it wasn't conceit or hubris that was their downfall, it was goal difference.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “We have been tracking Bruno for many months and everyone here has been tremendously impressed with all his attributes and what he will bring to this team. Most importantly he is a terrific human being with a great personality and his leadership qualities are clear for all to see.
Concerns over the health and well-being of participants, as well as travel restrictions in many countries, have resulted in the cancellation or postponement of many such events in various parts of the world," it added. A FIFA Council meeting due to be held in Zurich on March 20 -- previously scheduled for Asuncion -- would now take place in June or July, it added.
Barcelona had to prove that Dembele was out for six months before being allowed to make a move. Barcelona are the first club to utilise a clause that Fifa asked the Spanish FA to remove in 2016, but Valencia are trying to follow them after injuries to two centre-backs. Every player in Spanish football has a release clause in his contract - some more realistic than others - and Barca were able to pay the £15m to sign Braithwaite, who joined Leganes from Middlesbrough in the summer.
Torpedo BelAZ won't be an easy opponent for Dinamo Brest, considering that they have collected 3 points more than Dinamo so far and lost just 2 out of 12 rounds. Torpedo has shown one of the best defenses of the whole League, having conceded just 10 goals so far, while Dinamo Brest has been a bit less consistent having conceded 15 goals. Torpedo is still unbeaten at home in Vysshaya Liga and they have conceded no goal in 3 out of 5 games played here, so scoring will be hard for the visitors. Torpedo BelAZ is my favorite for this home match vs Dinamo Brest.

Rennes are dangerous, good pace in the team and counter attack well and, if they come and play with a freedom, we could be in for a difficult night. Rennes head coach Julien Stephan: "After the result of the weekend, there is disappointment, obviously, but this is the Europa League, it is really important for us and we want to show what we can do. We also want to perform very well because we are playing in what I call a cathedral of football.
Mourinho has manoeuvred Spurs into position to challenge for the top four with a crucial match at Chelsea on Saturday but this result and this tie may prove a task too far in the Champions League context. He will not give anything up - why should he? - but Mourinho and his players must somehow summon up the spirit that saw them make an unlikely escape from their group last season before that glory night when a 2-0 goal deficit was turned around into a 3-2 victory against Ajax amid scenes of wild emotion and tears from then manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Martial’s problem is that he has set such a low bar. To improve the side, all Ighalo needs to do is stay active across the front, give Fernandes somebody to aim at, and be able to bring those to his left and right into the game. He has shown himself moderately competent at all disciplines. Not brilliant, but capable.
We think both teams to score is the best option, while we’re going for back to back 2-2 draws for Charlton. The Rs have seen exactly four goals in 55% of their home matches this season, while they’ve drawn three of five home clashes with sides below them. The Rs have scored at least twice in four of those five, so we’re backing a sixth 2-2 draw of the season for Charlton.
You look at who they've got to play, they've got Southampton, Newcastle, Burnley, Norwich, Watford and Villa in the run-in. That'll be 18 points where they think they can go and win. If they take at least 10 from those they'll be on 34 points and I think that will be OK given the way the league is going.
They are assured of a Champions League place and will head to their penultimate game only looking to hold on to second place, and a run of six unbeaten matches should inspire some confidence going to this game. Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the 3-0 win making it three goals in the last three matches and alongside Alexis Sanchez, who has also done well lately, they should have enough firepower upfront for this game.
Ratcliffe added: "Getting the hand sanitiser into production in just ten days was a huge team effort and Team INEOS, led by Sir Dave Brailsford, have made a great contribution alongside the rest of the Ineos family. Danny Rose continues 'charitable spree' What, two good news stories to start your day? Step forward Newcastle loanee Danny Rose, who has continued his 'chritable spree' after donating £19,000 to the North Middlesex Hospital and the same amount to the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals Trust's charity, to help them fight against the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Green, Carson, Wright, Turnbull, Lonergan, Grant. IconicIn the past few years, there have been plenty of players making seemingly strange moves in a new breed - third-choice goalkeepers who are just there in case of emergency. Scott Carson, 34, is on a season-long loan at Manchester City from Derby. He's still waiting for his debut. In fact he's probably not. Rob Green, 39, retired last summer after the greatest achievement of his career, winning the Europa League with Chelsea.
Arsenal goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was sent off by the video assistant referee (VAR) for a rash tackle. Injury-hit Newcastle United ended a three-game losing run as they grabbed a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. HUGE GAP Liverpool and Tottenham contested the Champions League final in June but their now appears a chasm between the two clubs.
UEFA, who is yet to confirm the decision, has proposed that the June 12-July 12 tournament to be held in 12 countries be put back to June 11-July 11 next year to give the suspended domestic leagues time to be completed. The proposal was agreed during a video conference with all 55 of its affiliated national football federations and representatives of clubs, leagues and players.
Get the Titanic music out - this goal secured a tie with Liverpool: Zero: Bristol City For not signing Aaron Pierre after a trial in 2017. RETRO CORNER It’s 20 years to the day since Ipswich Town’s Gary Croft became the first professional footballer to play wearing an electronic tag.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has confirmed that a deal has been struck for midfielder Ismaila Soro. The 21-year-old Ivorian will arrive from Israeli club Bnei Yehuda but will not sign in time for Saturday's Scottish Cup tie with Partick Thistle. We're just waiting on the paperwork being done," said Lennon. Hopefully that can be resolved over the next few days. He's strong, technically very good, quick across the ground and hungry.
Osha have scored 3 and have allowed 4 goals in two preseason games played. Lida also had some high scoring matches in the preseason like a 4-2 win in the match against Gomel. Also in the latest game they have scored 10 goals against Zelva.
Smolevichi is quite okay for this reserve level, but that being said the hosts are much better overall despite being new to the first league level at the big team level even there they are solid this season and at reserves they have some good results like winning 3-1 at home playing since 4th minute in 10 men against 2nd placed in the league Minsk 2 before this round started. Other results from them at home saw them win 2-0 with Gorodeja, but had big big scoring chances to win bigger, and little trouble in defense as well as winning 3-0 at home against a quite decent Energetik 2 side.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are the best teams in the Primera Division and the crowd wait a big victories when they play at home. Granada stands top half of the table, but they have got one of the most terrible record at away. Barcelona have a new coach, the ex-Betis trainer prefer the offense football, I remembered really enjoy that Betis games, high score were guaranteed. Suarez out of knee injury, so Messi, Fati and Griezmann must to score a goal, now. Granada played a 4 goals match vs. Getafe, 6 goals match vs. the Blancós, and 8 goals draw vs. Villarreal. I expect another plenty of goals match.
Watford started much the better side at Selhurst Park but attempts by Abdoulaye Doucoure and Will Hughes failed to trouble Vicente Guiata. Palace, who also record a third straight clean sheet, went close through Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke's overhead kick during a scrappy second half which neither side was able to really seize control of.
There is too much at stake at all levels of the professional game. It has to finish, do not even consider starting the next one until this is over. Leeds United have had a horrendous time. They are a huge club and they bring a lot to football. The position they are in now, they cannot have the opportunity to get back to where they belong taken away from them.

In the previous round, both these sides saw off opposition from lower ranked teams. Burnley beat Peterborough United 4-2 as Norwich beat Preston North End by the same margin.

Pogba feels at home in Italy," he is quoted as saying by the Guardian. Italy is like his second home or family, same for [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic. That’s why Paul would like to come back to Juventus. But we’ll go to speak about that just after Euro 2020. Pogba wants to play at the best levels always . Manchester United now, in this moment where the club is not having a good period.
Ten positions separate these two clubs but United have only won one more game than City. These are the two sides that filled the automatic promotion places in the Championship last season, but it's United who look most likely to survive this season. Norwich had earned four points in two games before the midweek defeat at Southampton.
