Whilst they won't be running out Serie A champions, finishing as runners-up would still rank as good going for Santos and that's exactly what they'll be looking to do. Lacking the financial muscle of Brazil's most powerful clubs, Peixe have still competed at the top end under Jorge Sampaoli, picking up an impressive 68 point haul that means 2nd place will be theirs if they win their remaining fixtures.
They are paid much less, often around average national income. Minimum wage players exist around the world and, for them, any cuts can have drastic personal consequences in terms of simply paying rent or buying groceries for their families. He added that even within leagues the situation could vary greatly between clubs.

Once Municipal will host Joroco for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be another one tough match for both sides. Both teams are one of the main outsiders in this league. They are currently bottom of the table. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. True, Once Municipal is not very good team at home. Of course, the hosts want to get a first home win in this season. However, the hosts have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Jocoro who's is worst team on the road. Nevertheless, the visitors will try to remain unbeaten in this game. Maybe this is - draw... My pick - Jocoro to win.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme means the government will pay staff placed on furlough - temporary leave - 80% of their wages, to a maximum of £2,500 a month. Knight is concerned that the scheme is not being used in the appropriate way. This isn't what it's designed for. It's not designed to effectively allow them to continue to pay people hundreds of thousands of pounds, while at the same time furloughing staff on hundreds of pounds," said the MP for Solihull.
French club Nantes and Cardiff have since been in dispute over fee payments, with world governing body Fifa rejecting the Welsh club's arguments.

My personal opinion, I have one of course, is of course I think we should all be treated equally, that is clear. But we don't have the time to judge things when we are here, we only have time for training. Paul Amman, founder of Liverpool LGBT+ fans group Kop Out, was invited by the organisers of the 2020 World Cup to visit the country last month with his husband. Amman, who is not in Qatar for the Monterrey match, although other members of Kop Out are, told BBC Sport: "Qatar has moved significantly in recent years, especially in migrant workers' rights and in capacity and capability to host major events.
What an unbelievable career. Wright: "I only scored against Schmeichel in friendlies. He was the only goalkeeper I thought about before I went into a game because he was so good. I genuinely hated him as a goalkeeper. I knew how good he was and how it was to score against him. Christopher Wreh scored against Schmeichel - people don't even know who he is - and I didn't manage to do it.

Sheffield United U23 will host Wigan U23 for this fixture of the league. I do not think the hosts are favorites in this game. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, Sheffield Utd is not very good team at home. Also, the hosts have a poor results in the last matches. I believe, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Wigan who's is also very average team in this campaign. However, Wigan is the best team on the road. In previous game Wigan U23 is won 0-1 against Crewe U23 (away) I expect, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
The home team Vitkovice is struggling against relegation, but at home they do perform quite better than away, where they are a true disaster. At home they scored 12 goals and conceded the same amount in 8 matches so far. They only have 2 wins 3 draws and 3 defeats.
What is most interesting about this game is the fact that one month ago they were playing in the same Svenska Cupen group stage and met here at Kalmar who remain a first league club in Sweden despite needing to play a play-out for avoiding relegation last season, and the winner in that cup game was by far Kalmar who won the game no less than 5-0 in the end and it was already by the 30 minute of the game 4-0 in their favor, and even more back than odds were 1.75 on Kalmar to simply win the game, now they are 1.40 but I suggest taking high handicap bets on the hosts here.
I think the away team has a great chance to get a good result from this match. I think the away team will decide this match pretty early. The home team are newcomers to the league and I think there should be some difference between these two teams. Llagostera is not playing well this season. But they have a good away record and I think that

Simeone has already attempted a rebuild - more than one - and so boardroom patience might be wearing thin. They might hesitate in delivering even more expensive signings to the Argentine and may have been a factor in the club’s reluctance to get a January deal done for Edinson Cavani. Contrast this to the way Zidane has methodically overhauled Real Madrid’s squad since the summer, successfully integrating Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao, Fede Valverde and Rodrygo.

How does the table look? The top two teams in the WSL would ordinarily qualify for the European competition in the following season. Manchester City hold a one-point lead at the top of the WSL table, but second-placed Chelsea have a better points-per-game ratio, so if an average points-per-game system was chosen to determine final league positions, Chelsea would leapfrog City. Arsenal are third and, like Chelsea, have a game in hand on the leaders, but are four points behind City.
Fortunately for the hosts, Portsmouth have struggled to get going away from home. Kenny Jackett's men, who have been on a good run of late, have found it tough to impose themselves on the road, where they've scored just six goals. Given that they've scored such a low total, it's not surprising that Pompey have won just one of their seven travelling matches. They are one of only eight teams to concede less than ten travelling goals, though that hasn't stopped from losing more than they've won or drawn, tasting defeat in four out of seven on the road.
Data reflects players who were still teenagers at the start of this season, who have played 500+ minutesAs you can see above, there is a huge gulf between Sancho's goal involvements since 2018-19 and the next best teenager in any of Europe's top five leagues. Such impressive stats stack up well against players of any age across the continent's top five leagues since August 2018, leaving him fourth behind the impressive trio of Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe and that man Messi.
For any squad, especially a squad that's new to a full-time environment, you need to have that balance between youth and experience in the team. You need the young players, their energy and their tenacity, but you also need to have the experience – people who have been there, done that, won titles. You need to have a good mixture of them all and quite scarily I do see myself as a slightly older player now but I think that was good for me.
Valencia has been excellent at home so far this season in the league with a 4-4-0 record and including the matches in the Champions League they have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of the last 6 games at home. However, in 8 of the last 9 games at home they also conceded at least once.

Four out of five Dinamo Minsk league games have had under 2.5 goals scored. Both of these clubs have made a disappointing start to the Belarus Premier League season.

Lampard says he has only spoken briefly to Rudiger, who informed Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta of what he had heard and he told referee Anthony Taylor. However, Tottenham say their initial findings after the alleged racist abuse of Rudiger are "inconclusive". I saw Toni's social media post, I thought it was well put, from the heart and something that he feels very strongly about," said Lampard.
Relive the draw between Manchester United and West HamGreenwood the United starAlthough Solskjaer said during United's pre-season tour of Australia he rated Greenwood as the best finisher at the club, it was not until December that he gave the Yorkshireman his first Premier League start of the season.
