The visitors have scored twice in nine of their 11 clashes with teams outside the top eight, scoring 23 times against the bottom half teams so far. We expect them to rack up another couple here against a Fiorentina side who have seen under 2.5 goals in 12 of their last 15 home matches. That has us backing a 2-0 away win for the Giallorossi this week.
The official decision after review is no penalty. You've seen those given, as the saying goes. GOAL! Southampton 0 West Ham United 1 (Haller 37) West Ham are in front, and it's beautifully worked. Antonio gets to the byline on the right and cuts it back to Snodgrass. He crosses first time to Fornals at the back post, who nods it back to Haller.

Isloch is really not that strong in defense, from the 9 games played by them so far this season despite 6 of those games being at home they only kept just 2 clean sheets, I mean even modest Belshina was down 2-0 same as Slavia Mozyr here at Isloch and scored both a late goal to lose just 2-1 in the end, Slutsk even won the game played here with 3-2 coming from 2-1 behind in the second half, while on the road they have been a bit of a disaster losing 3-1 at Dynamo Brest and 4-0 away at Soligorsk, their attack is indeed very good mainly in home games but really not a team to trust to keep a clean sheet even at home.
Newcastle defenders Jetro Willems and Paul Dummett will miss the rest of the season, manager Steve Bruce has confirmed. A scan has shown loan signing Willems ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in Saturday's win over Chelsea, while Dummett could face surgery on a tendon injury.

On Tuesday, the City manager added: "In some departments he can improve. Without the ball, because he is so young, sometimes he has to think more about decision-making. It's normal for his age. His development is perfect. I never doubt in him. The confidence is always there. If he plays bad the confidence is the same.
After the match Jose Mourinho tried in a desperate but futile attempt to defend his player. What he should have said was this is now a matter for the FA and it will determine what happens now. The reason Dier felt so outraged and took it upon himself to get involved with supporters is, in my view, irrelevant. There are no circumstances in which a professional player should ever involve himself in such matters.
Former Liverpool and Celtic manager Rodgers was appointed at Leicester in February and after presiding over a ninth-place finish last term, he has seen his team win 10 of their first 14 league matches this season. Arsenal sacked Emery after 18 months in charge during their longest winless run since 1992. The Gunners, who are eighth in the table, 13 points behind Leicester, have placed their former midfielder Freddie Ljungberg in interim charge.
Boss Adilson Batista was sacked after a 4-1 defeat at champions Flamengo in midweek and whilst spirits in home ranks are pretty low, some hope can be drawn from recent showings in front of the home crowd. The side are unbeaten in 5 home matches, winning 3 times in the process and have been strong as hosts all season, with their struggles typically coming on the road and as such, their prospects can be considered fairly bright coming into the game.
Genclerbirligi have won 8 of their last 10 home games against Konyaspor, an adversary in which the team succeeds rather well. They have also scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 home games. Konyaspor has drawn 3 away games in a row. The hosts have lost only once in 13 meetings with Konyaspor in front of their audience. In addition, they are in good shape at home, as they have only lost to Trabzonspor in the last 8 home games. Half of these eight games turned out to be a win for the hosts. As we know, visitors are not known for their brilliant score. But they will have chances because the local team has a fragile defense which has already conceded 44 goals. Close contest is anticipated.
He is in brilliant shape at the minute but he is in a lot of pain. The fact he wanted to play on shows his character," Farke added. His goal was a fantastic pass and finish. If he had been fully fit he might have got those goals [in the second half]. He's from Finland so I'm not too concerned. Norwich's draw means they remain 19th but they are now only three points adrift of safety.

Not only have Blackpool lost each of their last two, scoring no goals in the process, but they're without a win in five on the road. They've lost none of those five and are clearly not easy to beat, but such form isn't likely to strike fear into the hearts of the hosts.
The Bees eventually settled into a rhythm and came close to scoring through Emiliano Marcondes on two occasions. Brentford finished the first half strongly although Ayoze Perez should have doubled his side's lead but his effort was saved. The Bees outfoxed the Foxes for most of the second period and came close to scoring when Marcondes' deflected cross hit the post.
Le Havre will host Guingamp for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are more ambitious team in this campaign. I expect, they will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium. However, Guingamp is not very good team away from home. Also, Guingamp have big fluctuations. In any case, this will not be an easy task for the visitors. Also, we have Le Havre who's is very average team in this season. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. However, Le Havre have advantage at home stadium. I expect, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.
It was another corner routine which led to United taking the lead in the 64th, this time Fred's cross was inadvertently headed to the back post by Villa striker Wesley and United's Swedish defender Victor Lindelof nodded home. But the lead last only two minutes before Villa got back on level terms, the impressive Matt Targett chipping the ball into the box to an unmarked Tyrone Mings who volleyed home.
They play Burnley later on Wednesday, hoping to close the gap to fourth placed Chelsea to three points. The season ends on May 17. Marcus is going to get as long as he needs. We are not going to risk him when he has had an injury. When he comes back he will be 100% fit," Solskjaer said. Rashford has scored 14 league goals this season, six more than United's next best scorer Anthony Martial.
In my opinion, Jubilo Iwata is the favorite in this game. They want to go straight back to the league and were able to take a 2-0 home win on matchday one. Kyoto Sanga, on the other hand, lost 0-1 to Renofa. All in all, Iwata should ultimately prevail here. The guest is an easy favorite. They also won the first game, the guest lost the first game. The guest is one of the top teams. The host was seen more in the second half of the table last season. Nevertheless, in the last 4 games in a direct comparison, Jubilo won twice.
Valencia have not scored more than one goal in 11 of the last 12 matches. Atletico have not scored more than one goal in the last six matches. Atletico have three straight away losses.

Meanwhile Always Ready have 7W, 0D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We go to VAR. NO GOAL! It is unlucky for Spurs as Lo Celso's well-placed finish from the edge of the box just clips the heel of Son on its way in, with the South Korean in an offside position. SAVE! What a save from Gunn! Alli threads a lovely pass through for Lucas, the Brazilian looks certain to score, fires for the bottom former, but Gunn sticks out a leg and just gets enough on it to divert the ball wide.
The Rams have been going from win to loss in their league form overall, but at home they’ve managed to win the last five on the spin. On top of that, they have won to nil in each of the last four. That great record combined with Derby’s recent advantage over QPR makes the hosts worthy favourites.

Al Taee will host Al Jeel for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their rival. Al Taee have better position in the table. However, Al Taee is very average team in this league. Also, they are not convincing team in recent times. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Al Jeel who's is not very good team in this season. They are currently bottom of the table. Also, the visitors have fallen into a poor show. They have three consecutive losses. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. However, they will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. My pick - Al Jeel to win.

Blackburn’s winning streak hasn’t seen them blow sides away. The visitors have won by a single goal in five of their last six games, so we don’t see them thumping Swansea. The hosts have also lost by a single goal in four of their five home defeats, so we think that a 2-1 away victory is the best correct score pick for this game.
