QPR are winless in their last 19 away league games played on Boxing Day (D6 L13) since winning 1-0 at Plymouth Argyle back in 1967. That long-running issue comes up against a recent bounce for the hosts. Reading have averaged 1.64 points per game under Mark Bowen (W5 D3 L3), more than they did under José Manuel Gomes this term (0.73 – W2 D2 L7). With the hosts looking up, we’re backing them to claim a 2-1 victory this week.
But with only five minutes remaining Alonso was again in the right place at the right time to nod home after Ramsdale parried Pedro's shot to grab a much-needed leveller for Frank Lampard's side. The result keeps Chelsea in fourth but Manchester United could close the gap to one point with victory at home to Everton on Sunday, while Bournemouth drop to 17th, two points above the drop zone.
This match is from the French ligue 1 and we have Nimes playing host to Nantes. The team of Nimes is currently 19th position, they have gotten just 1 point in their last 5 matches but still I feel they would win this match
We got battered 0-0 - it was a classic Walter Smith performance," says Caldwell, who played in a back three with Russell Anderson and captain Davie Weir. Aye, we took a doing," adds McCulloch of a game in front of almost 60,000 fans in which goalkeeper Neil Alexander pulled off several fine saves. Miller remembers it as the first of his three caps, the striker replacing McCulloch for the final 20 minutes.
Hello. And so today we have the championship of Italy. Series B. "Sharks" are waiting to visit their guests "dolphins" from Pescara. The hosts, as can be seen from the last matches, not in vain spent the New Year break. They have been scoring for nine consecutive matches. Significantly improved their position in the standings. The guests, in turn, only once left the field without a goal in the last five matches. One of the weakest lines of the “blue and white” is undoubtedly defense. It seems to me that an interesting game with scoring chances is ahead. The main thing is that the rivals would use them.
Feyenoord have won four of their last six matches against Vitesse and both teams scored in four of the last five meetings between these two clubs. The hosts have lost their last five matches in the Eredivisie and the visitors are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions while both teams scored in three of Vitesse’s last four and four of Feyenoord’s last five matches, so you can see just why we are backing a 2-1 win for Feyenoord this weekend.

Solskjaer, whose side are ninth, level on points with Burnley and Crystal Palace, has struggled to get results in what was billed as a transitional season for his young team. COMMANDING PRESENCE NEEDED If United's hierarchy want improvement this season then they must surely back Solskjaer in the transfer window and provide him with the missing quality his side needs.
Tottenham Hotspur's decision to impose a 20% wage reduction on 550 non-playing staff and moves by Newcastle United and Norwich City to use the UK government's furlough scheme - meaning public money would be used to pay their employees - has prompted some sharp criticism. No decisions were taken today, with discussions set to continue in the next 48 hours with a focus on several high-profile matters, including player wages and the resumption of the 2019/20 season," the organisations said in their statement.

On the whole, I thought we dealt with them really well but we're disappointed with the goals we conceded. We probably gave away too many chances from counter attacks, which they're good at, but we didn't deserve to lose that. It was a good performance against a team that are fifth in the league but we deserved more than that. On VAR awarding Spurs a penalty: "No-one in the stadium thought it was a penalty - not even the player who went down.
A few months ago we thought that Ashley Young’s career was well and truly over. We worried about what would happen when his Manchester United contract expired. We could see him getting the odd game for soon-to-be-newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion but that was as good as it got in our eyes. But then, out of the mist, like a guardian angel for wing-backs, came Antonio Conte.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Buffalo Sabres Prediction, Preview 2 hours ago — Lukas Dostal got the start and allowed four goals on 18 shots faced in the first period. John Gibson replaced Dostal to start the second period.
Millwall are unbeaten in their last five Championship home games (W3 D2), netting exactly two goals in each game. They have a great 15% shot conversion rate at their own ground this term, which should help them to trouble the visitors on Friday night.
While both of these teams are in good form in attack, neither team have been particularly impressive defensively, of late. Mainz have not kept a single Bundesliga clean sheet this season. Meanwhile, Augsburg have kept jsut one clean sheet in their six Bundesliga home games.
However, Spurs, who had one day less to prepare than Southampton, were without the injured Harry Kane, Giovani lo Celso and Erik Lamela, with recent signing Steven Bergwijn ineligible for this game as he did not play in the original match. I think I did very well because I had to manage a team with so many difficulties," said boss Jose Mourinho. I changed from the back five to the back four in the moment when I could.

Subs: Kolasinac (6), Guendouzi (N/A), Nelson (N/A) KEY MOMENTS 33’ - BIG CHANCE! A great opportunity for Ozil goes begging! Aubameyang plays in a dangerous cross onto the head of Ozil, but he nods his free header on the penalty spot over the bar! The Germany international's wait for a first Premier League goal this season continues.
In my opinion, Stoke City is even an easy favorite in this game. They are quite a good team and, had just had bad start just at the beginning of the season. The longer the season went, the stronger they became.
Southampton are 14th, with 34 points from 29 games. They have lost four of their past five matches. They only need a win to be safe," says Lawro. Form-wise, Norwich have been in marginally better shape than Southampton since Danny Ings' goals started to dry up - but the difference is that Saints have got points in the bag. I fancy the Canaries here, though. One thing they always do at Carrow Road is have a real go at the opposition and create a load of chances.
We are going to play with the players we have available. I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench – now I don’t have attacking options on the pitch. His absence means that a combination of Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn are likely to have to combine to fill the striker void.
An own goal from Rifat Zhemaletdinov and a Sven Bender volley gave Leverkusen a precious three points, but their hopes of reaching the last 16 will be extinguished if Atletico Madrid beat Juventus later on Tuesday. The Germans, who play Juventus on Dec. Juve on 10 and Atletico Madrid on seven. The Russians, with just three points from five games, are out of the running.
Reading only won 1/6 of the last match. At home, they have won 5/10 recent matches but drew all the last 3 matches. Meanwhile, Bristol City's performance went down quite clearly when only winning 3, drawing 1, losing 6/10 matches. Away, they lost 5/10 matches, while also losing in the last 3/4 matches. Watch out for what has been shown, the visitors will find it difficult to leave the Madejski field. Reading has an Madejski home advantage. Reading is 6 places inferior to rivals in the First Division English rankings, and the distance between the two sides is 7 points. This is not a big difference.
It shows so much support within the football community to show we are one. We don't know when that will get up and running, so in the meantime it's a great chance for players to show how much the NHS means to us - a cause that is close to a lot of players' hearts. Each club will organise their own donations, which will be distributed across the country, though the level of contributions has not been announced.
Tuchel expressed his view he was not overly happy about the party happening on a Sunday night and there being a match on the Tuesday night. He thought it didn't reflect well on the team and the club. Mbappe decided to go to Disneyland Paris. But, hey, its Neymar, the club's best player, one of the best in the world, for that they could do a little infringement of the rules, I guess. This is my club.
Former Motherwell centre-half Stephen Craigan on BBC Radio Scotland's SportsoundCeltic were a different team when they had an out-and-out centre-forward on against Rangers on Sunday. Nothing against Lewis Morgan, he's not and out-and-out centre-forward. You can get away with it against a Ross County or Hamilton, but you can't get away with it against better quality. Odsonne Edouard is coming back from injury and he's crucial for them in this busy December and has got to be wrapped in cotton wool and it's sensible management from Neil Lennon - he has to rest players.
Recent form hasn't been great as far as Sunday's hosts are concerned, as they've won just one of their last five, three of which they've lost. Even at home, things haven't gone too well lately. Bologna are without a win in three at Stadio Renato Dall'Arca, two of which they've lost. Overall, their efforts at home have been so-so this season, as total of 11 goals for and 12 against show.
The home side have just two points from their six league games since being promoted last season. They lost their first three games before a couple of draws. Last weekend saw them away at league leaders FC Slutsk and went 2-0 down in the first half. Belshina fought back to get level but conceded a goal with two minutes and lost their fourth game of the new season.
It was a bit of a mismatch, Van Dijk towering over Kabasele, but the Watford defender dealt with the challenge admirably. If there was a header or an important interception to be made, Kabasele was there to make it. More to the point, I could not have my TOTW without a Watford defender in it, having kept a clean sheet against the best team in the country. As for Liverpool, if ever there was a game that needed the inspiration of Jordan Henderson and the professionalism of James Milner then this was it.
A United goal was palpably in the post, but there were only a few minutes for it to arrive. The German television commentator Marcel Reif wasn’t alone in thinking they’d left it too late. Maybe I shouldn't say this, and I promise never to say it again, ever,” he began. Football, as Gary Lineker once said, is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.
Also a mach Europa league between Ajax and Getafe is a best new chance we play this pick over 2.25 goals where we look see a minimal chance get a secure win if we see this three goals and can for this get a secure win from new great 6.50 points and can for this look a new great win to our order in full time this match now. Home team needed a minimal win from two goals if look get a open door to this next round this play what get to our pick a best chance that can get a win.
this prediction is a far fetched prediction that sees me predicting that the expected team to lose are the one who are going to win the match. Basically there is no room to claim that empoli is better than pisa or pisa is better than empoli. Empoli on have the benefit of being at home when they play this game but other than that both teams are neck to neck on the log they haven't been scoring goals at an exponential rate and have a string of draws to show this performance hence I am prompted to side with pisa
Match of Austrian Bundesleague where team Austria Will play at home with team Wolfsberger. My bet will be on hosts with AH ( 0 ) . Hosts did 3 wins and 2 defeats at last 5 matches played. Their shape is not bad. Guests did 3 defeats, draw and win at last 5 matches played. Their shape is not better. Yesterday Wolfsberger played a hard match vs Roma from Italy. And after 3 days they must to play against team Austria. Guests are tired. And I want to try home team here. Most really result here is a draw. But odds on hosts are more higher
As replays were watched the picture developed, but it wasn't until after the game when I learned that an "outside agent" on the field didn't have to be a person. Another weird one was Graham Poll failing to send off Croatia's Josip Simunic until showing him a THIRD yellow card against Australia at the 2006 World Cup. As he showed the second without a red to follow, I knew something was amiss, but desperate looks for agreement from those around me drew only shrugged shoulders.
Other players, including Tottenham defender Danny Rose and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, have also previously raised concerns about the plan to restart. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said on Thursday that football will only return "if it is safe to do so and the health and welfare of players, coaches and staff comes first". I think the overall feeling is that players have got concerns," defender Hanley told Sky Sports.
Yes, you have to look at the individual as well, but I've got to say Giroud's been nothing but a class act and a top professional since he's been here, so I don't envisage any issues from him on that front," Morris said. The former Chelsea midfielder deputised at the news conference for manager Frank Lampard, who took training on Friday but has been troubled by illness. Several Chelsea players have also suffered from the bug, including England defender Fikayo Tomori, who is a doubt for Sunday's FA Cup fixture with Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United substitute Mason Greenwood scored a 77th-minute equaliser to deny Duncan Ferguson a second successive win as Everton's interim manager. Everton looked set for back-to-back league victories for the first time since April when Victor Lindelof turned Leighton Baines' first-half corner into his own goal after VAR ruled David de Gea had not been impeded by Dominic Calvert-Lewin as they jumped at the near post.
Fair play to the sly old dog. BielsaOut - do yourselves a favour and pipe down Marcelo Bielsa has done an incredible job at Leeds. He has made a fairly bog-standard team more than the sum of its parts. This led to the Elland Road club just missing out on automatic promotion to the Premier League last season to Sheffield United, the same Blades side that sit a heady fifth in the Premier League at the time of writing.
Albion's Jake Livermore and Kyle Edwards forced saves from David Raya after half-time, and 'super-sub' Charlie Austin had a goal ruled out for offside late on, but that was as close as they came to a winner. Despite the result, Bilic's side moved further clear at the summit because of Leeds' defeat at Fulham, with the Bees dropping a place to fifth, also as a consequence of the result at Craven Cottage.
