Getafe will qualify if they avoid defeat, whereas Krasnodar will be through only with a victory. Even though Basel have just one point more than both teams, the Swiss side's favourable head-to-head record against each of them means they cannot be dislodged from the two qualifying places. However, top spot in the section is still up for grabs and will go to the winner in Spain unless Basel also win their final fixture at home to eliminated Trabzonspor.
Rennes’ home games and Bordeaux’s away games produced an average of 3.00 total goals and both teams have scored in 88% of Rennes’ home games as well as in 78% of Bordeaux’s away games, while over 2.5 goals have been scored in 75% of Rennes’ home games and in 56% of Bordeaux’s away games.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, the former Swindon manager said: "That for me has got to be looked at. Is it mutually exclusive that you want a quick appointment but you don't run a recruitment process?"Can you not do both? Is there a way to marry both those things? I understand and I've been there myself as an ex-manager and probably benefited at one point from needing to make an appointment quite quickly that someone might step into those shoes on a caretaker basis, if that club has the foresight to do that.
Rashford, who has scored 14 league goals this season, picked up a back issue in the 1-0 FA Cup replay win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday after coming on as a substitute. The 22-year-old scored the opener when United held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at home in October, the only time Juergen Klopp's side have dropped points in the league this season.
Still - it's a family game. Leave it out. Zoom hangout A truly electric atmosphere here - not a smartphone in sightThat's what people have done in Denmark, where Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus set up a virtual Zoom grandstand to bring fans into the stadium. It's about creating an atmosphere around the game so that the players will see that they have the support from the city, even though there are no supporters in the stands," the project's co-ordinator Soren Carlsen told BBC World Service's Mani Djazmi.

I don't mean playing well and winning, I am talking about how you react when you have to battle a bit. Palace will compete in every area of the pitch and, if Arsenal are going to win again, they will have to earn it.

Hi! Aston Villa and Newcastle comes ahead of the 13th round of the English Premier League match. I believe that we can expect an interesting game where both opponents could win. So, it would be nice to catch them both scoring as well in this clash. In their last 5 league matches, Aston Villa won twice and lost on three occasions. In their last 5 league matches, they netted 9 goals and allowed 9, so I think that they will score this time as well too. Meanwhile, in their last 5 league matches, Newcastle recorded 3 victories, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 7 scored goals! Nice! Predict - both teams will score at any time and DRAW! Good game!
The visitors have been by far the worst team in Serie A this season and that's more than shown by the situation in which they find themselves. Rock bottom with a measly 18 points from 34 matches, Avai are already relegated and just appear ready for a miserable campaign to come to an end so preparations for life in Serie B can start.
Stuttgart is of course pretty big favorite for the win in this match but I think it is going to be all but easy for them to win cause first of all their offense on the road is not good at all and they scored just 14 goals on 12 games so tomorrow it is hard to believe they will score more than one but even that could be enough for the win cause on the other side when is worst home team in the league and they scored just 10 goals on 12 home games the whole season!

That was followed by a professional win over Gillingham in the FA Cup, but last weekend saw The Hammers return to their old ways as they lost at Sheffield United. This leaves them in a precarious 16th position in the Premier League, just a point outside the relegation zone.
The Hammers have a poor record against City in recent seasons and lost 5-0 at home to Pep Guardiola's side on the opening day of the campaign. Crystal Palace are in 14th place but are only six points away from the bottom three and on Saturday travel to Goodison Park to face Everton, who are seeking to extend a four-match unbeaten run.
He's training, he's available for every game, so I'm delighted with the boy. Morelos takes firm stance on racism Alfredo Morelos insists racist abuse won't force him out of Scottish football. The Colombian has become arguably the most high-profile character in the Premiership since joining Rangers from HJK Helsinki three years ago and has made headlines for a variety of reasons as his scoring exploits have been hailed and discipline questioned.
Everton have kept a clean sheet in their last three Premier League home matches. Everton play host to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Tuesday evening. Writing prior to the 23rd round of Premier League fixtures, Everton are 11th in the table, two points ahead of Newcastle in 13th. The Toffees are now under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti, the veteran Italian coach having taken over the club around Christmas.
That is the 10th time he has opened the scoring in a league game this season - and his fourth Premier League goal from outside the box this term. No player has managed more of either this campaign. He went close again just after the break but curled wide. And he will rue his slow run-up for his penalty as Ramsdale guessed correctly to save his spot-kick. That leaves him two behind Leicester's 23-goal Vardy, who has two games left.

I saw R. Kruse start as the main striker for Melbourne Victory last round at home against Newcastle Jets and it ended up in being their biggest win in the league so far this season and also their 2nd win in a row as they won 4-0 the game, while the previous round they went away from home at Melbourne City where they also won the game but with 2-1 in the end, still two good performances and they are sitting on the final play-off place at this moment despite modest results in the start of the season.

The football is back in Estonia, after the long break, because of the events that happened outside of the football. The league actually never really started, it is only 2nd round, the clubs never reached their peak form and we cannot make any comparison between the teams. Flora are the defending champions and by far the best team in the country.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Gotta sack ‘em all Sack Levy. But you can’t sack Levy, he has to sell the club’. Then force a sale. He (and Bahamas dweller Joe Lewis) refused to invest in a squad that was so close to winning a major trophy, leaving the club’s greatest modern manager (not you, Jose) tackling back-to-back seasons of 38 away games with the same players.

Mikel Arteta earned his first win as Arsenal boss as the Gunners produced a powerful first-half performance to beat a lacklustre Manchester United. The visitors, who were without the injured Paul Pogba, actually began brightly, but the game took a different turn on eight minutes when Nicolas Pepe steered in his fifth goal of the season after Sead Kolasinac's cross was deflected to him. That led to a first half in which the hosts were in control and Pepe hit the post before they doubled their lead when his corner was smashed in from close range by Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

A Euro for Europe - that's how Uefa billed next year's European Championship given it is spread across the continent for the first time in history. We now know 20 of the 24 teams who will feature at Euro 2020 after the groups came to an end on Tuesday. All that remains are the play-off games in March next year. With 12 different host nations, an unprecedented demand for tickets and some of Europe's top teams and star players going into the tournament in top form, it promises to be a memorable event.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY At the King Power Stadium, Leicester missed out on the chance to join Manchester City on 51 points as an unlikely headed double from defender Antonio Rudiger earned Chelsea a draw. The vibrant second-half fare demonstrated again why neither team have been able to muster a sustained challenge to Liverpool, with poor defending enabling Germany international Rudiger to swoop twice.
Nonetheless, Barcelona closed out an important victory. TALKING POINT - This was the most interesting tactical match of Quique Setien’s Barca reign so far When Setien was appointed Barcelona manager we were told to expect a tactical showcase from a man with great ideas on how the game should be played.
Liverpool's unstoppable charge towards their first top-flight title in 30 years continued by edging a narrow victory over bottom-of-the-table Norwich. Sadio Mane came off the bench to score the winner with 12 minutes remaining, expertly taking down skipper Jordan Henderson's raking pass and smashing in at the near post. It means Jurgen Klopp's side need just five more wins from their remaining 12 games to guarantee their first Premier League title, having dropped just two points all campaign.
This is another game where I see a really big chance for the underdog to get a good result. Dinamo plays well but today they will face Shakhtyor and it will be a tough match for them. Dinamo will play at home but I think that draw is a good result for both teams. Maybe not for Dinamo because on away they don't look well but for Shakhtyor will try to win on their ground. My bet here is an Asian handicap for Soligorsk. The visitors will try to avoid losing and maybe they will beat Dinamo. In this moment of the new season, everything is possible
We need to be safe and we need to be sane and then we can speak about football. Belgium have not played since completing their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a 6-1 win over Cyprus in November 2019. Two friendlies in March were postponed because of coronavirus while the European Championship has been put back to 2021. Martinez, who led Belgium to third at the 2018 World Cup, says there was no choice but to delay Euro 2020.
Meanwhile, after a surprising relegation from League 1 last term, Scunthorpe were expected to be amongst the front runners for promotion in the fourth tier this year. Nonetheless, currently 14th and 10 points short of the play-offs, the visitors aren't where they want to be at the moment.
Lecce have conceded two or more in the last five away matches in Serie A. Juventus have scored two or more goals in their last seven home matches. Lecce have conceded 15 goals in their last three matches. Nine of Juventus’ 13 home Serie A matches have ended in over 2.5 goals. Four of Lecce’s last five away matches have ended in over 2.5 goals.
Cardiff’s big problem has been results on their travels. They are fourth-bottom in the away table, which has hit their hopes of a top-six finish this season. The Bluebirds have failed to win any of their nine away trips, so heading to a side like Forest must be a worry for the visitors.
After 8 games without a win, Kaiserslautern won 1-0 at Magdeburg and is now 4 points ahead of the relegation places. Magdeburg was not a sophisticated side as well and that win implies nothing significant. The team are on the safe zone now But that is by no means a pillow of rest in the tightness of the league. The 1800s also won 3-2 at home against league leaders Duisburg and so the Munich are on the auto promotion zone with only 2 points behind leaders Duisburg. Points must also be scored here, I expect a draw. Kaiserslautern for me might be able to win this game but the draw is possible given their performance in this ground. Kaiserslautern played 8 draws in this field and for this reason I think another draw is on the way. Kaiserslautern for me is a good home team although they don't win, but the defense keeps things tight.
Ajax head to this game with the advantage of a good run, playing at home and generally superiority over Heracles. They have struggled a bit against Heracles in the past few meetings, but we don’t see that happening in this game. Ajax have been scoring a lot but they will have defensive concerns, especially as they play a side that has scored in eight of the last 10. Here we are backing Ajax for a win but Heracles will score. A 4-1 result in Ajax’s favor could pass.
I know the reasons, I'm not an idiot. Eriksen, 27, has already indicated he has no wish to sign a contract extension at Spurs and wants to experience life outside England. The Dane, who helped Tottenham reach the Champions League final in June, has appeared 25 times for the club this season, although eight of his appearances in the Premier League matchday squad have been as a substitute. Benfica's Gedson Fernandes due for medical before loan move to SpursHe made Mourinho's starting XI for a league match for the first time in January, more than a month after the Portuguese boss took over from Mauricio Pochettino.
Video - Chelsea set to battle Barca for Porto ace - Euro Papers01:36 Who knows whether the Brazilian may have already played his last game for Munich? It currently seems almost impossible that Bayern will prematurely shell out the fixed transfer fee of €120m. Under coach Hans-Dieter Flick, Coutinho has no regular place in the team, either deployed behind the striker or as a "false seven" on the left wing.
Leipzig have scored in all 16 of their Bundesliga games this season. We feel that this fixture is likely to see goals scored at both ends. However, league leaders Leipzig are likely to have too much quality for an Augsburg side who have won just two of their eight Bundesliga away games.
After 27 rounds in the Turkish league this season, Antalyaspor won 33 points, ranked 10th in the rankings. Meanwhile, with the same number of matches, Rizespor won 28 points, ranked 14th among 18 teams, 2 points higher than the red team.
And even when Cesar Azpilicueta poked home what looked like a winner for Chelsea, Arsenal didn’t give in, eventually getting their second equaliser of the night through Hector Bellerin, of all people. Will this game be a turning point for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal? The day they discovered they could actually play football, or at least scrap effectively enough to make it look like they could play football? Or will it be a false dawn, like all the other false dawns? Who knows, but for now it was extremely heartening for them.
