Derby came agonisingly close to getting promoted last season. A play-off final win away from reaching the top tier, they then had to deal with key players (and their manager) returning to Chelsea. It has taken a few months but it looks as though Phillip Cocu finally has a handle on things. We expect Derby to keep up their good form with a win over Huddersfield. Back Derby to win and both teams to score.
So the stats point towards another low scoring contest at Balaidos this Sunday and the nature of this contest should also see relatively few chances created. It's a game that neither will want to lose and both managers are likely to prioritise defensive tactics after shipping plenty of goals on Matchday 16.
Oh dear. He apologies to Bardhi. Hazard injury? Hazard looks to be limping which is not good news for Real Madrid. Of course, the Belgian has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Morales has given Levante the lead and in some style! Morales was played in down the left channel, the angle was narrow, but he lashes a strike into the back of the net! What a strike! Wow! KEY STATS This was Real Madrid’s first La Liga defeat in 15 games, since the defeat to Real Mallorca on October 19.

All things considered, we see good value in backing Monterrey on the Draw No Bet line and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Al Hilal's defensive issues are a big concern coming into the game and aren't really befitting to the favourites tag attached to them and we fancy the Mexicans to run out 2-1 winners come full time.
Slavia Prague head to this game on the back of some impressive run, unbeaten in four and with four straight clean sheets. That however has been in their domestic action.

Sakhnin should be fighting for the 2nd place in the league table as they consolidated their position in the league standings by winning two games in a row in the league even though they were pretty tough games like for example at home against the league leaders from Maccabi Petah Tikva game which they won with 2-1 in the end as well as last round they won with 3-0 away from home at Qasim covering the over line all by themselves.
