Both sides wore black armbands following the recent death of City loan forward Benik Afobe's two-year-old daughter Amora, with the two sets of spectators joining together for a minute's applause. Top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic was a subdued figure for Fulham in the first half as the Robins defence kept him in check and it was Ivan Cavaleiro who carried the main threat. Mitrovic came more into the game after the break, volleying just too high after receiving Stefan Johansen's ball on his chest and then just failing to make contact as he stretched for Knockaert's curling cross, but he was unable to add to his 15 goals so far this term.

ATK have recovered well from losing their opening match of the season and look to be in good shape to keep on the pressure at the top of the table. They have managed to keep things tight at the back which can’t be said for their opponents Mumbai City, who are shipping in far too many goals to give them a chance of winning games. Even if Mumbai do score it is unlikely that they will be able to keep out the attacking threat posed by ATK and a home win is the prediction. ATK may stay top of the table.

It's been a low scoring round in the second league level in the Czech Republic but this game promises to have a couple of goals scored in it with Brno missing several key first team defenders and they looked awful in their last friendly game which I watched as they ended up losing with 5-0 at their own stadium against Zlin but more important in the second half Zlin used youth players and scored 3 goals against a very modest Brno defense and could have scored more as Zlin even missed a penalty kick and very easy they were alone with the keeper multiple times.

Another chance for Schick, he gets away from his marker Ben Davies then beats Dele Alli to the corner and flicks his header just wide. Best opportunity of the match for Werner.

We had the winning mentality.

TALKING POINT What else… A typical Eurosport report spends a paragraph highlighting the game’s biggest flash point – what the result means, how certain tactics played out, and so on – but it is difficult to select anything trivial when the biggest talking point is the fact the match and league as a whole is still going ahead while the coronavirus outbreak wreaks havoc on the sporting calendar elsewhere.

Leicester have so far managed 45 points and are second in the Premier League, while Wigan have 23 points and are placed 22nd in the Championship. Leicester’s back to back wins came after two straight losses and they will definitely be hoping the journey to stability continues here.
I see here plenty of goals and I will try on that option. Generally, this season is very interesting and pretty efficient, so I believe, that this duel can be similar. Goa is team who is probably first favorite for title in Indian Super league and they are surely stronger team than this rival. In first part of season, they are not had big problems against Mumbai City, and they are beat them 4-2 even as a guests. What will happen this time, we will see, but as I said before, I see here very easy home win, and at least three goals.
Hibs hold off Killie fight back to win Killie have positives despite defeatKilmarnock's defeat by Hibs will hurt, with the Ayrshire men creating enough chances to at least earn a draw. Chris Burke littered the penalty box with crosses, while they won a series of second-half corners from which they could not take advantage. It leaves their chances of reaching the top six difficult, with four points now separating them and Hibs, but all eyes now turn to Wednesday's Scottish Cup tie with Aberdeen.
And yet Odion Ighalo has moved a step closer to his Premier League return after appearing in Manchester United's kit. Whether he’s in England, or United have flown a sponsored backdrop and shirt out to China due to the coronavirus, remains to be seen… IN THE CHANNELS Big John McGinn… is actually Big John McGinn.
A goal in the 3-0 win over Botofogo at the weekend means that Everton Ribeiro has struck three times in his last two games. The attacking midfielder isn't exactly prolific in front of goal but he's been rewarded for making clever runs lately. He's a good option for a goalscorer bet if you can find odds on it. Otherwise, back the reigning champions to win both halves in a commanding display.

KEY MOMENTS 15’ - Oh my days! Ederson comes charging out of his goal to cut out a long ball for Tete . Tete carries the ball into the box but, when the time comes to act, who ignores the man alongside him then restricts his own shooting angle and hits a low one, which the sliding Fernandinho sticks behind for a corner.
The psychological impact and motivation of a new, determined manager helps. Defender Craig Dawson told the club's official website: "The thing that has changed totally: the work rate. Everyone is working hard for each other. If someone is slightly out of position, the person next to them is helping them out. You can see that throughout the pitch. Everyone has got each other's backs. The Hornets are also more settled and structured, with Pearson largely consistent in his selection and relying on a back four in front of Foster - one of the division's best keepers - as opposed to the three or five favoured by Flores.
La Liga side Athletic's goalkeeper Iago Herrerin was sent off in the second minute for fouling Shaquell Moore and the hosts took the lead when Joselu slotted home from the penalty spot six minutes later. Inaki Williams hit back for the Basques but Joselu netted again after 21 minutes. Athletic striker Williams scored his second early in the second half to level the tie and Tenerife's Carlos Ruiz was sent off early in extra time to leave both teams a man short.
That poor record could continue in this meeting with the Addicks, who have scored 15 times across their last six meetings with Luton. With the hosts already in trouble, they could be pushed into the bottom three on Tuesday.

The hosts come into this clash having failed to win seven of their last nine matches overall. That has left them trailing in the fight for the top six, especially after going down to fellow playoff contenders Brentford in midweek. That was yet another setback on the road, where the Swans have claimed the majority of their points this season.
It's been a great week for both of these players for different reasons. Kenin has achieved her best ever performance in a Grand Slam tournament, while Muguruza is back to top form. The Spaniard has beaten four seeds on her way to this final, including two of the top five. Muguruza has more experience of big finals and with her improved form can win this match.
I'm not saying clubs are not following a process but they aren't nailed on to a process because there is a little bit of a loophole there," said Townsend. You aren't going to be held accountable. It's like dipping your toes in without going to swim. After an 18-month pilot, the EFL introduced the policy "for all first team vacancies" last summer - after clubs voted in favour - becoming the only league in Europe to do so.
Bristol City's fading Championship play-off hopes were dealt another blow as Sheffield Wednesday recorded a deserved victory at Ashton Gate. Connor Wickham headed the Owls in front after 13 minutes, directing Jacob Murphy's near-post corner past goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa when completely unmarked.

Fk Ruh Brest Reserves is going to face Gorodeya reserves. The hosts of this clash won four of six matches in this season and they scored 14 goals while conceded seven. At home Brest played twice and won both matches. 6 goals scored to only 1 conceded looks great before this match. Gorodeya is the worst team in this league and I don't think that they will avoid defeat. They conceded 11 goals in only three matches on away and in the last five games overall they conceded 15 goals while scored only 1. I think that Ruh Brest will win this match and cover this handicap

Last season Shakhtar won this game with 5-0 in the end and they are once more clear favorites for winning the title in this country and they are also not doing all that bad in the Champions League as well although they had some problems in defense there while drawing first 2-2 at home and 3-3 away from home at Dinamo Zagreb but they are too good for Lviv who is also in not so great form and I am not really counting on Lviv to score here as their form is poor but the hosts can score this much all alone.
He emerged at Northampton before a move to Premier League Newcastle, where his four substitute appearances matched the number of spells he spent out on loan. Costing just over £500,000 in the summer of 2018, he already has 35 Posh goals to his name, leading the chairman to insist a League One record fee - eclipsing the £11m paid by Everton for Ademola Lookman in 2017 - would be needed to prise him away.
