PSG have made a habit of battering St. Etienne in recent years and more of the same is expected there. 'PSG to Win & Over 3.5 Goals' stands out as a viable option. The hosts are away and clear in the league, so there's no reason for them not to focus on this game. The same cannot be said for St. Etienne, who're jostling for position in and among a pack of teams marooned mid-table. Not only did PSG scored four goals with relative ease against St. Etienne less than a month ago, but four in three of their last five at home. Ligue 1's best home team, in terms of shots for, shots on target for and goals for, is backed to once again seriously damage a visiting side that ranks as one of the worst in numerous areas.
We feel that both of these teams are likely to get on the scoresheet this Saturday. Despite their poor results in recent weeks, Hoffenheim are still a threat in front of goal. They have scored in each of their last eight competitive games. Hoffenheim have seen both teams score in five of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures.
Emiliano Buendia has assisted six goals for Norwich City this season; double that of any other player for the Canaries - furthermore, only Kevin de Bruyne (70) has created more chances than Buendia (57).

We have to prepare the match in one day which means there is no time to change strategy, but we have to get used to it," Conte told reporters on Saturday.
Every manager needs a bit of good fortune and Arteta seems to have Lady Luck on his side at the moment. MAN OF THE MATCH Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): The teenager is making the left-back position his own this season and in this form, he must be on the verge of an England call-up. Once again he was Arsenal's most creative and exciting player.
He was dismissed after a season without silverware, even though he had won two trophies 12 months earlier. Since then, he has managed Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Napoli before making an unexpected return to England following Everton's decision to sack Marco Silva earlier this month. Ancelotti has won three Champions League titles and four domestic championships in a glittering managerial career and was given a rapturous standing ovation from the home fans, whose side have not won a trophy since the 1995 FA Cup.

They were unable to add to Ash Taylor's goal despite bombarding the Celtic box for much of the contest. Aberdeen have only scored more than once three times in their last 14 games. Curtis Main kept his place in the side and was a nuisance but offered little goal threat. Fellow striker Sam Cosgrove made a late substitute appearance but has not scored from open play since 21 December - nine games ago.
Inter have a two goal advantage from first leg, quality is on their side, and they will be able to rest some standard players in this duel. Ludogorets is not so weak opponent, despite defeat of 0-2 on their stadium, they will not surrender, but reality is cruel, they simply not have enough quality to qualify into next round. Wanderson, Swierczok and Marcelinho will be in attack, but it's never easy task to score a goal against Inter, despite the fact that host will be without their first goalkeeper Handanovic. After final whistle of the referee I expect equal result and match without winner.
The Belgium international, who after years of flirtation finally signed for Real from Chelsea for a joint-club record 100 million euros in June, raised eyebrows when he reported for pre-season training packing some extra weight. It's true, I cannot lie, if I'm on holiday, then I'm on holiday," Hazard told Belgian magazine Sport/Foot.
According to the Mail, the 25-year-old was only offered a new contract with the Liga NOS side because of an odd clause his in previous deal. In 2018, the player and the club agreed that if a bid worth over £30 million for Fernandes was rejected, Sporting would pay him and his agent £4. However, the Portuguese club can't afford to pay this fee outright, so they have simply offered him an increased salary on a four-year deal, allowing the club to pay him and his agent out.
After Lewandowski restored the host's advantage from close range, Neuer then parried Dennis Jastrzembski's shot into the path of Michel as Bayern were pegged back once more.

Making his first media appearance since being sacked by the Catalans in January and replaced by Quique Setien, Valverde expressed his admiration for former player Andres Iniesta's decision to move to Japanese side Vissel Kobe when he left Barca in 2018.

QPR are outsiders for Wednesday’s meeting, but they are coming off an important result at the weekend. The Rs had gone seven games without a victory, a run of form which saw them fall down the table.

The Champions League in particular, with its financial inequality and confected structure which is designed to allow the richest and most powerful progress with the least trouble possible. But then you contemplate a night like tonight in the competition, and you’re ordering a Heineken with your Mastercard, but only one because you’ve got to drive your Nissan filled up with Gazprom to go buy some Pepsi and a PlayStation using money in your Santander bank account.
Belarus football carrying on 'not comprehendible' - FifproFootball is continuing in a handful of countries, including Belarus, Burundi, Nicaragua and Tajikistan. Infantino, head of football's world governing body, insisted that safety should come first. I cannot stress this enough," he told Fifa's 211 member associations on Friday.

Leverkusen played their first two games after the restart away from home and they were far from easy games as first they played away at desperate Werder Bremen and won with ease 4-1 in the end attack working superb for them and second met a few days ago Gladbach on the road as well with Gladbach sitting in front of them in the league standings before that encounter as both are top clubs this season and Leverkusen winning that game as well with 3-1 in the end so another win by at least 2 goals difference.
They have registers five clean sheets in the last six matches, the only side to have scored against them being Club Brugge in the first leg. United’s 3-0 romp over Watford was a show of new found confidence in the team and playing at home will give them the needed confidence in this well balanced tie.
Juventus, for instance, always have a full house at the Allianz Stadium, which brought them 74m euros (£62m) in revenue during the 2018-19 season - 53m (£45m) of which came from matchdays. Clubs have not been forced to play behind closed doors, with other options available. Clubs could have also suspended games and postpone them, but there are scheduling issues," said the Italian minister of sports Vincenzo Spadafora.
More fool you. To be fair, there have been plenty of rumours, including Dries Mertens, but, as the month rumbled on with no concrete news of new signings, fans' frustrations grew.

Relive Manchester United's goalless draw with WolvesA solid debut for FernandesWhile it could not be described as an explosive debut, Fernandes did enough to indicate he will improve United as an offensive threat. The former Sporting Lisbon man was eager to get on the ball, took the initiative at set-pieces and was not afraid to shoot. His first effort drifted wide as he shot from the angle. His second, from a central position, turned out to be the hosts' only first-half shot on target, which went straight at Patricio.
Blackpool are enjoying a pleasing campaign all round, but their home efforts have been particularly encouraging.

Therefore the match between SV Ried and Blau Weiss Linz is likely to have more than 2 goals scored.

Fc Minsk fc will lock their horns against BATE Borisov in the premier league of Belarus this afternoon at 1600 hours. The home team win their last head to head game with 3-2 scoreline at this same venue so I think the history is going to repeat itself and we see that the home team is in good shape than the visitors which are currently struggling to make it since the start of the season, they only won once against Ruh Brest. The hosts won last home game against Dinamo Minsk and the visitors also lost last away game against Slavia so I give home straight win.
