The three options are to start again in mid-May, in June or at the end of June. There is also the possibility of starting again at the beginning of the next [season], starting the following one later. We will see the best solution for leagues and clubs. Ceferin says that playing remaining games behind closed doors would have to be an option across Europe. It's hard for me to imagine all the matches behind closed doors, but we still don't know whether we'll resume, with or without spectators," he said.
Porto will have a strong support from domestic and, despite a bad result and defeat in first leg against Bayer Leverkusen, 2-1, host will not surrender without a strong resistance. Soares and Marega will be in attack for Porto, and host is forced to play attacking if they want to make their place in 1/8 finals, they have enough quality for the victory in this duel, but it is a question will that be enough. Volland and Alario will be in attack for visitors, visitors will play with strong defense, so anything can happen in this duel. Victory for Porto with more than 1.5 goals AH
It’s the battle of the winless sides on Wednesday, as Barnsley head to Middlesbrough. These two sides have found themselves in the bottom three following dreadful runs of form, but will either of these two boost their fortunes with a result this week?
He has since had a five-month spell at Derby County, leaving by mutual consent in October 2016, and at Belgian First Division side OH Leuven, where he was sacked in February 2019. It's been a pleasure spending time listening to the passion with which he talks about the game," Duxbury said. Saturday gives the perfect opportunity for Nigel to be officially introduced to our supporters as Hayden leads the team in the quest for a very important three points.

New half, same old Navas making smart saves.

Just when defeat looked inevitable, Burnley rescued a point on Wednesday through Chris Wood's penalty in the last-minute of injury-time against Wolves at Turf Moor. The result means they are unbeaten at home since New Year's Day and consolidates their position in the top-half of the table - a successful season given the size of the clubs they are competing against. But with two games of the campaign remaining, the big question around Burnley centres on whether they will be the last two matches Sean Dyche spends in the manager's dugout.

It's looking grim for Watford unless they can start getting some wins. They have only won one league game this season and that was away at Norwich who are 19th in the table.

That was their fifth loss in six league games as the gap between them and safety continues to grow.

We walked on to the pitch together, had a little kick about and then went to the bench. We were wrapped up in sleeping bags trying to keep ourselves warm. When you put the ball down, it was floating on the water. You were kicking it but the ball didn't go anywhere. We started so well. It was elation on the bench when Eric Black scored after seven minutes. The goal came from a corner routine that we had worked on in training.
After their excellent 7th place finish last season, Wolves endured a somewhat underwhelming start to the 2019/20 campaign. They failed to win their opening six league matches, and it looked like a classic case of second season syndrome mixed in with the demanding juggling act that is the Europa League qualifiers.
He was down," said Arteta. He felt responsible for what happened. We all tried to convince him that even though he had the best chance of the game, he was the one who put us in that situation earlier.

Newcastle remain in mid-table but their points cushion above the relegation zone is down to six. There are no such concerns for Leicester, though, with this win giving them a four-point advantage over third-placed Manchester City, who host Everton later on Wednesday. It was also Leicester's seventh away Premier League win of the season - only unbeaten leaders Liverpool have managed more.

Marcus Rashford scored a goal, and after that you’d have to say that Brandon Williams was the best player. Williams is only a young boy, and for some reason he can’t get regular football in that team. That tells you there’s something wrong at the club if that player can’t get regular game time. Williams should be playing at left-back every single week.
Leicester City are into their third EFL Cup quarter-final in as many seasons - they have lost on penalties in the previous two, both against Manchester City. The Foxes last reached the semi-final in the 1999-2000 campaign, going on to win the trophy. Brendan Rodgers has progressed from 28 consecutive domestic cup ties (one with Liverpool, 24 with Celtic, three with Leicester), last failing in the FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool in April 2015 against Aston Villa.

It came after Gray reportedly held a birthday party at his home, breaking coronavirus lockdown rules.

Handicap -3.00 for the host team, this is my choice for this bet in the Greek Cup between Olympiacos and Kalamata. In this match, Olympiacos is largely favored and it is very superior to this team. The Olympiacos team is the strong team of the championship of Greece. I believe that at home, this host team can win more than 4 difference goals. Olympiacos have just won a 4-0 league victory and have not lost a game in the last 5 games. However, the Kalamata team is not in good shape, it is on 4 losses and 1 draw in the last 5 games.
Cavani's future at the Ligue 1 champions has long been the subject of speculation, ever since his teammate Neymar arrived at the club in 2017 for a world-record fee.

Spurs are lacking a defensive midfielder and full-backs, but are blessed with Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez in the middle. Arsenal's central defence is a shambles, so it wouldn't hurt to sign up the centre-back who has featured in the past two Liga Team of the Years alongside Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique, respectively.
And in 2013-14 Sunderland used their three games in hand (26 games played after 29 rounds) to stay up at the expense of Norwich. The 2014-15 season saw probably the most consequential survival in Premier League history. Leicester were bottom of the table, seven points adrift of safety and nine behind Hull at this stage of the season - with just one game in hand. But a remarkable run saw them stay up as Hull went down.
Speed is keyThere is no great secret to Dortmund's recruitment policy. Ask Ricken what features the club's scouts and coaches are looking for as they try to develop young players and the answer is universal. Technical skills are very important. And the quickness and speed of action," he said. Players in our first team are all so fast. It is unbelievable. A few months ago, we had a player from a foreign country who was playing for our under-17s and he wasn't fast enough, so we decided not to make the transfer.

We’re confident that AZ will score over 1.5 team goals this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in the visitors’ favour. AZ are the clear form favourites heading into kickoff having won five of their last six matches in league and cup, while Zwolle are struggling in the Eredivisie after suffering four defeats in their last five outings. The visitors have been scoring plenty of goals of late and the hosts have been conceding a lot, which is why we have backed a comfortable away win for AZ.
