In the season, it may happen that Genoa, as a city, can remain without Serie A if “Genoa” and “Sampa” continue to perform as unsuccessfully as they do now, living in the basement. It’s good that “Sampdoria” guessed early to dismiss Di Francesco and invite Claudio Ranieri, who in November brought his vision to the team and she scored 8 points in the last four matches, defeating “Udinese” (2: 1) and SPAL (1: 0). But even their performance in recent years is worse than the arrogant “Cagliari”, which now takes 4th place in the standings, ahead of even “Roma” and “Atalanta”, and Raja Nainggolan plays an important role in the team. In Sardinia, there are always excellent matches between the teams, with the exception of the penultimate game, which ended 0-0, and usually scored at least four goals. Given the form in which the teams are now, which radiate confidence, we can count on the continuation of the banquet even in the middle of the week. My prediction is total over 2.5
The win against Melbourne Victory last weekend came at the right time with their poor form seeing them lose their previous three games and falling 11 points behind the leaders, Sydney FC. Their debut season in the A-League has generally gone well, winning four of their nine games and impressing most with their ability to create chances in the final third, with 11 goals scored.
Another match from this competition where I see surely better home team and I will bet on that option. Of course, I'm not sure that this duel will be play with fans, or with probably empty stadium, like it was the case yesterday in Germany Bundesliga, when M'Gladbach is beat Koln 2-1. In any case, I see good match of home team who is in last round in this competition beat Red Bull Salzburg 4-1 and then as a guest, played against them 2-2. Basel is not in good form and they will surely lost this duel, I'm sure in that.

Rangers dominated this match, they should have won comfortably. This should have been a mark of their improvement under Gerrard and yet it ended up as an illustration of how far they still have to go. Questions will be asked of Morelos again. The Colombian has 25 goals for the season, but he still hasn’t scored against Celtic in 10 games against them.
No decision on the issues has yet been taken by FIFA. Olympics delay opens door for banned wrestler The postponement of the Tokyo Games to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic may have opened the door for dope-tainted Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav to realise his dream of winning an Olympic medal. Yadav was handed a four-year doping ban just hours before his first bout at the Rio Olympics after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) won its appeal against an earlier exoneration.
That's a major concern considering how dismally Garitano's side have performed on their travels this season, and they head to Ciutat de Valencia this weekend having lost seven from nine on the road this term.
Jurgen Klopp. Video - Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi00:29 10:00 - Emery under pressure Good morning and welcome to rolling coverage from the world of football news.

Only Mallorca (34) have attempted fewer shots on target than Brescia (38) in the top-5 European Leagues this season. Meanwhile, Atalanta top that chart with 98 shots on target. They matched Brescia’s current total after just six games this season.

A wasted talent? Troubled genius? Greatest England player of his - and many other - generations? The reason you got into football? All of the above?Few footballers of the past 30 years have captured the imagination quite like Paul Gascoigne. From Mars-bar loving maverick at Newcastle to Roman playboy via World Cup brilliance, Gazza really had it all. And did most of it. Could he have been managed better? Should he have done more with his career? Was he the best player England has produced since, well, you name a date?All valid questions and just some that will be debated during Gazza Day on BBC Sport on Saturday, which coincides with the start of our Euros Rewind programming throughout June, kicking off with a full rerun of England's game against Scotland at Euro 96.
March 17 (Reuters) - The Euro 2020 soccer Championship, trumpeted as a continent-wide feast of football to mark the 60th anniversary of UEFA's flagship tournament, was postponed for a year on Tuesday as the coronavirus pandemic claimed its biggest sporting casualty yet.

The hosts are current league leaders in Belarus as they have 3 wins in just they scored 3+ goals every time and a 3-3 draw with Nafta as well at home game in which they came from being 3-1 down in that encounter, but last home game was really excellent on their side against 2nd placed at the time Krumkachy at the time and they won it with no less than 4-0 in the end while they also won on opening round with 5-0 at home with Chimik and a 3-2 win away at city rivals FC Gomel where they also played really well.
The streets are deserted, the shutters of the stores lowered and industrial activity has stopped. It is very difficult to manage,” comments the technical director of Atalanta. The players are at home and they do not all have the possibility of training on treadmills or specific machines. It is normal that this is more complicated for some.
Sofiane Boufal's late equaliser gave Southampton a fully-deserved FA Cup fourth-round replay against Tottenham after an entertaining encounter. Saints' manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and Spurs counterpart Jose Mourinho made FA Cup statements of intent by selecting strong line-ups - and their teams delivered a game high on quality, chances and passion.

Gaizka Garitano's side managed to bag a cosy 0-3 Copa Del Rey win away to lower league Intercity in midweek, but they simply can't be fancied to get anything this Sunday based on their away results in the league and past visits to the Bernabeu.

Roma, who had also lost to Sassuolo last week, are in fifth on 39. The visitors went ahead with Riccardo Orsolini's 16th minute tap-in after Chris Smalling failed to clear a low Barrows cross. A Stefano Denswil own goal in the 22nd briefly gave the hosts some hope but Barrow's deflected effort four minutes later restored their lead.
New Taipei Air Source will host Taichung Blue Whale in the Mulan football league of Chinese Taipei in Saturday. New Taipei Air Source has only one win from five Games this season and lost three of the last four. Also New Taipei conceded two or more goals in the last three defeats and three of the last four games saw more than 2.5 goals.
One of the big things he has already identified is the vulnerability of the team, and I think he is working hard to put that right. I don't mean any tactical weakness, more their state of mind. Yes, part of his time has to go on coaching and setting up the team the way he wants it, but he has also been trying to restore confidence, arrogance and belief to this Spurs side. As a team, they had completely lost that, especially at home, because they had suffered a few dodgy results there.
Wilder did not exactly break the bank on new signings but I found it odd that Norwich spent hardly anything at all. It is going to be very interesting to see what Norwich do next, but if they can keep hold of their best players then they should be competitive next season. If they can get back up to the top flight, their aim will be to emulate Burnley, which essentially is what the Blades are doing.
Campbell, 45, is manager of Southend having spent nine months at Macclesfield, where he helped the club avoid relegation from League Two. Cole, 39, works for Chelsea's academy and coached at Derby during Lampard's only other managerial stint since retiring as a player. Liverpool legend Gerrard, 40, coached at the club's academy before his first role as a manager with Rangers. The FA do a lot of good work, I've just finished my pro licence, it was very diverse, it was very open," added Lampard.
Brighton extend Potter contract Brighton & Hove Albion have extended manager Graham Potter's contract by two years, which will see him stay at the club until 2025, the Premier League side said on Tuesday. Potter, who arrived from Swansea City and replaced Chris Hughton at Brighton in the close season, has reinvigorated the club that barely survived relegation last season.
Yes, Manchester City made up some ground on Jurgen Klopp's side by beating Leicester City, but Liverpool have retained their 10-point cushion without kicking a ball in that competition - and they now have a game in hand on both the teams who are just below them too. I don't think they could really have asked for much more from their week away. Liverpool head for the King Power Stadium next, and they know that if they beat the Foxes there on 26 December, they will take a huge step towards the Premier League title.
If many Arsenal fans had been prepared to cut Emery some slack during what was at times quite a painful adjustment period to his new methods – Petr Cech trying to play out from the back and only succeeding in almost passing the ball into his own net on the opening game of last season against Manchester City springs to mind – the conclusion to 2018-19 and the start to 2019-20 had effectively extinguished all hope that the replacement for Arsene Wenger would be a long-term fixture.
Paper Round’s view: Spurs have underfunded their squad for the past couple of seasons which has led them to trail the top four positions so far this season. An injury to Harry Kane threatens to hamper their campaign under Mourinho so giving him a midfielder with technical qualities and the energy of youth might go some way to mitigating any problems.
Melbourne City’s title challenge has fallen in recent weeks, a lot like their Premier League counterparts. City have lost four of their last six games after a nearly perfect start, with that run leaving them nine points shy of the leaders in the A-League. Can the hosts start to claw that back with a victory over Western United this week?
The 32-year-old is on his way out of the club, according to Marca. Ivan RakiticGetty Images Paper Round’s view: Rakitic has been one of the better transfers at Barcelona since their very best team started to be broken up with retirements and sales. However, at 32 it is now time for them to move on from the Croatian, and also start to prepare for life without Lionel Messi, who is allowed to leave on a free transfer in the coming months.
The French word epopee is a tricky one to translate directly into English, but it essentially means epic or saga, as in the poetic narrative of people performing extraordinary deeds to overcome insurmountable odds. In French football, it is a word synonymous with one club: Calais Racing Union. To fully understand why, we must go back 20 years to the 1999-2000 season and one of the single greatest cup runs in sport.
Gerard, or Jerry as he was more affectionately known, joined the club earlier this season and became an instant hit with his team-mates and our supporters. He was a larger than life character who brought a fantastic energy and commitment to our club. Although he was only with us for a short time, he will be fondly remembered by everyone associated with Carrick Rangers FC.
Torpedo Zhodino Reserves won two matches of 5 in this season but they got one of the best defenses. They conceded only two goals in five matches. However, they should win more games but they are struggling hard in the offensive as they scored only 4 goals. Ruh Brest won four matches of five and four in a row. They scored 12 goals and conceded only four and two of them against top 1 Dinamo Minsk. I think that Ruh will pick the fifth victory in this season. They are so strong and against a team like Torpedo, they should score two goals.
Coronavirus: The key questions answered about sport's £700m 'hole'Rick Parry: EFL clubs 'face £200m shortfall by September'A further EFL board meeting will be held on Wednesday. There is also a second meeting of the cross-sport medical working group that involves medical officers from football, rugby, cricket and racing and medical experts from the government.

We’re expecting The Blades to get something from this game too. Manchester United have won just one of their six away matches this season, two of which have ended as 1-1 draws. Considering Sheffield United score an average of one goal per game at home and Manchester United score 0.83 goals per game away from home, backing a 1-1 draw looks the best option.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he is "very concerned" about defender Eric Garcia, with the teenager taken to hospital after suffering an injury against Arsenal.
Bradford City will host Grimsby Town for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. True, Bradford have a poor results in the last matches. However, Bradford are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. Also, we have Grimsby who's is very average team in this league. The visitors have highly variable results. Also, Grimsby is not very good team away from home. I expect, Bradford to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Bradford to win.
I was struggling with tendinitis in both knees and just wanted my career to be over," he added. Newcastle had invested heavily in me and I felt I couldn't justify it. I remember Manchester United were interested in me as well, that summer, but I knew I couldn't go there. I knew I was in no position to compete with the likes of the players they had there. Having to deal with that was the toughest time during my career.
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.
