It's been a poor start to the season for Dinamo Minsk with a string of league and cup defeats. They do how to score though but also keep conceding goals. Their opponents have made a good start to the season but this will be a potentially tough away game for them. A bet on both teams to score looks the one to make here.

Tondela lost 1-0 away at newly-promoted Pacos Ferreira last time out and will be looking for a response from their players on Sunday when they play host to Belenenses. The visitors sit four points and seven places behind their hosts and were knocked out of the Taca de Portugal last weekend by Chaves 1-0, so confidence is bound to be low.

It seems as if racism is still a problem, certainly in this country. I've been one who has been very vocal in terms of saying we all have to keep doing what we need to do to eradicate it, because it's bang out of order. That's not me just supporting my own players, that's across the board. It's very disappointing that we're talking about situations like this in this day and age. It's embarrassing really.
We will see what the doctors say - the first date that was around was about Christmas, but we cannot give you an exact date. Pellegrini confirmed midfielders Jack Wilshere and Manuel Lanzini remain unavailable due to injury while defender Winston Reid returned to action with the club's Under-23 side.
Rome, which has not been affected so far, is due to hold three group stage matches and one quarter-final at the Euro 2020 tournament in June and July. We are at the waiting stage. We are monitoring country by country, and football must follow the orders of the individual countries," Italian Michele Uva, a member of the UEFA executive committee, told state broadcaster Rai.
That blow might have been a little easier to handle had the United boss succeeded in his aim of recruiting the hottest young striking talent in Europe – Erling Haaland. The fellow Norwegian played under Solskjaer at Molde before his successful move to Salzburg, where he shined in the Champions League and became strongly linked with a move to United, who had been monitoring his progress closely.

United have huge history and their quality is always there but we must try to beat them. We play against a good team, try to follow the performances we've put in and try to win the game. You know my opinion on the title race. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "It took many years before I played a Manchester derby myself. Of course, Man City are a better team now than when I was playing.
This system also uses Elo ratings, which allow you to alter how good a side is depending on their results. This means if a lower-ranked side gets wins over higher-ranked opponents, the lower-ranked side's increased form and ability can be factored in. Sport, as well as the general economy, is people making decisions, and those decisions have an affect on outcomes," adds Professor Reade. All these different decisions taken under pressure lead to particular outcomes occurring and that's the case in sport as well.
Almost every footballer out there has their own book these days. You know the drill - the obligatory autobiography telling of great victories and what makes them tick on and off the field. However, plenty of footballers have also ventured deeper into the literary world. On World Book Day, we take a look at a handful of those players and managers - and one wordsmith in particular - who put pen to paper on something other than a contract or the standard tell-all tale.
Odds pretty much are too big for what this game promises to be, I mean I know that last round both these sides played games with under 2.5 goals as Vitebsk 2 struggled at home to get a 1-1 draw with Slavia Mozyr 2, while Soligorsk 2 lost at home to 10 men Isloch Minsk 2 with 1-0 in the end but had around 13 corner kicks and failed to score. But scoring against Vitebsk 2 is really not that hard, the hosts have conceded in all their games so far this season.
Real confirmed the 28-year-old will miss several matches and, if the media reports are true, Vazquez will become the latest high-profile footballer sidelined by a bizarre injury. His Real team mate Marco Asensio was forced to miss a Champions League game in 2017 after a cut caused by shaving his legs with a razor became infected.

It is our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms this nation was founded upon are extended to everyone. US star Megan Rapinoe, who has opted out of the tournament, said on social media: "You love to see it. You love to see these women using their voice, demanding better for America, and for black people and people of colour.
I think it was more just sheer frustration at what is going on at Spurs of late with their performances and their results and that was his way of reacting to it. It's the environment he's in and it has caught hold of him. He seems quite a mild-mannered person on the pitch so for him to do that tells you there's not a feel-good factor around the club and among the players.
It is 30 years since the Paisley side had last win in the east end of Glasgow - a young Paul Lambert putting the final goal past Pat Bonner in a 3-0 win. In the here and now, Celtic were aiming to go 16 points clear at the top for 24 hours at least, with St Mirren looking for anything to ease their relegation fears. Although history hung heavy against the visitors, Jim Goodwin's side began the match well as they sported a sturdy back three with the wingbacks getting St Mirren up the field.

Burnley have three wins over Watford in the last six matches. Watford have one of the leakiest defences and Burnley may want to take advantage here. However, Burnley do not score too many goals but they will take heart in the fact that the team they are facing has a bad run. Burnley are winless in six away matches this season and this is one factor that WatfordT will be very keen on. Here we will go with a draw.
They wanted to make sure he got a yellow card. It is only half time but you need to be really strong as a referee in this atmosphere. Already in the first 30 minutes three of their players went to the ground I don't know what for. Nobody to blame. I am fine, 1-0 down at half time we have the longest half time break and we will use that.
Leeds during the 1992-93 season was the catalyst for Manchester United's first title triumph in 26 years. Helped by the French mastermind, the Red Devils finished top in the inaugural Premier League season and made it back-to-back titles the following campaign. Cantona scored 18 league goals and was named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, with United going on to claim their first domestic double by thrashing Chelsea 4-0 in the FA Cup final.
the hosts are one of the most blistering sides in the Championship, thanks to their impressive style of play. Given that, it was a surprise that they dropped so many points thanks to taking narrow leads into the latter stages of games. Now Leeds have both tightened up at the back and continued to put more difference between them and their opponents. They come into Tuesday’s clash having won 6-0 on aggregate across their last two clashes.
I will try to get this odd because I really think it is not going to be a surprise if gaziantep finds the way to win this game cause they are first of all better placed on table and also they are not in bad shape, and also they have pretty solid results on the road, on the other side, hosts listed last two and also in first part of the season gaziantep destroyed them and won with 4-1. So I think they could easily beat them again and who don't want to risk so much I recommend to him to go with double chance on visitors!
Clyde will play against Stranraer in the Scottish league one. Here, I believe in good chances for the home team to pick up a win. I think the guests are having a hard time, they are meeting a good home team that looks better on paper than the guests who do not come in the best shape either. There is a big difference between playing at home and abroad, which is why odds of 1.90 on home team also seem well paid. I see a good value here. I expect a home win who has lost only once in 7 matches.

We can't react to all the noise outside," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday. There'll be criticism, you've got to take it. You've got to be stronger mentally.

All of these sides are being beaten by teams you would not expect to, and sometimes pretty easily. Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests. This weekend, he is up against rapper and Manchester United fan Avelino. Avelino grew up in Tottenham but fell in love with Manchester United after watching David Beckham and Paul Scholes on TV. Kevin de Bruyne is the best player in the Premier league - much as I hate to say it.

But given the chance to offer his public support for the player in the USA at the start of a pre-season tour, Guardiola chose a different approach. Jogi decided what was best and I respect the decisions of the manager," he said. For Leroy, this decision may make him stronger. He has to improve his game and keep to the levels he showed last season. To mark that moment as the beginning of the end though would be wrong.

Ronaldo keeps on scoring and that is good for his state of mind," said Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri. He's in great physical shape and is making the difference. The other forwards also did well and the problem is who to leave out. Fiorentina, who suffered their first defeat in five league games under coach Giuseppe Iachini, could easily have scored first as Federico Chiesa forced Wojciech Szczesny to make a fingertip save and Pol Lirola also tested the Juventus goalkeeper.
