A friendly match between teams that are in the Denmark Superliga. They have played before 5 days a friendly match and ended with the win of Lyngby 2-0 and now they are playing again while they are preparing to begin the season.
Erling Braut Haaland scored for Borussia Dortmund as they marked the return of the Bundesliga during the coronavirus outbreak with a convincing derby win over Schalke. The game will mostly be remembered for the surreal circumstances in which it was played, as Germany became the first major league in Europe to resume action behind closed doors. There was an eerie atmosphere at Dortmund's iconic Signal Iduna Park stadium, with every shout by players or coaches audible, and social distancing protocol followed by substitutes and during goal celebrations.
That is the very least we should expect from the process. Hearts and Thistle initially went to the Court of Session after their relegations from the Premiership and Championship were not prevented by the SPFL's failed proposal for league reconstruction. The proposal would also have given Stranraer a reprieve from League One relegation. At an initial hearing, Lord Clark decided the rules of the football authorities mean the case must be heard by an independent tribunal set up through the SFA rules.
Oh, and then there’s the folly of the draw happening before the play-offs, meaning that the identity of four teams will remain unknown until March 31. WHAT ARE THE CURRENT GROUPS?

See, there we go again, feeding the machine. Of course it was no surprise to anyone to see journalists [guilty], commentators and fans practically fall over themselves to heap the praise on Gilmour, stopping just short of anointing him as the chosen one. Gilmour’s utterly audacious late nutmeg, sending Fabinho into the shadow realm, will of course only add to the train of hype on which we all must jump.
At 21 years 38 days, Eddie Nketiah is the youngest Arsenal player to be sent off in the Premier League since Konstantinos Mavropanos, also against Leicester in May 2018 (20y 149d). Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is just the fourth player to score at least 10 Premier League goals against Arsenal, after Wayne Rooney (12), Robbie Fowler and Harry Kane (both 10). Since his debut in January 2016, Leicester's Demarai Gray has registered eight assists as a sub in the Premier League, more than any other player.
So next summer, English clubs will be able to purchase players up until September 1. Still, it was a great two-year run. IN OTHER NEWS Everything seems to be going quite well for Petr Cech in his new pursuit. IN THE CHANNELS The, er, ‘windmill’ incident at Newcastle this week seems to have brought the best out of footballers on social media.
That put Leeds behind in a league match at Elland Road for only the second time this season and, without injured forward Pablo Hernandez, the hosts struggled to create clear chances until the midway point of the second half. Left-back Ezgjan Alioski hit the post with a powerful low drive from the edge of the area and sliced a shot over the bar after a cross had broken to him in the box, while Preston goalkeeper Declan Rudd made stunning saves to keep out headers from Alioski and substitute Eddie Nketiah.
A form guide for the last five Premier League games has Bournemouth rock bottom. They desperately need to get a win on the board but it's a tough ask for them to get that at Chelsea this weekend. Their form is terrible and away form is poor with just one point from the last five league games. Chelsea won in midweek but recent Premier League form hasn't been great. This is a good opportunity for the Blues to get three points, go for a home win here.
At McDiarmid Park, St Johnstone has found it hard in recent weeks to score more than a single goal, netting just once in their last trio of games which also coincides with their average of a goal a game. They've also conceded a fair amount too, letting in 15 goals in eight home games and only keeping a clean sheet once.
Lokomotiv Gomel was the best team in the previous season in the first league of Belarus at home where they won 11 of 14 matches and scored 34 goals while conceded only 9. They are pretty strong and to be honest they should get into the extra league of Belarus in this season. Khimik is an amateur team and I don't think that something will happen for them in this clash. I think that they will not be able to even score one goal against Gomel. My bet here is an Asian handicap -2.5 for the hosts. If nothing will be fixed we should see even 6:0 for Gomel
France beat Spain 2-0 in the final at the Parc des Princes in Paris. The creative midfield quartet marshalled by Platini with Alain Giresse, Jean Tigana and Luis Fernandez was acclaimed as the "Magic Square" (Carre Magique). The Debate: Why Sadio Mane must be PFA Player of the Year The Debate: Why Jordan Henderson deserves to be the PFA Player of the Year "The federation, our football is in mourning," said FFF president Noel Le Graet.
Brighton have won four of their last seven Premier League home games (D1 L2), as many as they had won in their previous 18 at the Amex Stadium. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, only Watford (50) have lost more Premier League away games than Bournemouth (47). Only Liverpool (16) have had more different goalscorers in the Premier League this season than Brighton (11). Brighton's Alireza Jahanbakhsh became the third Iranian player to score in Premier League history (also Andranik Teymourian and Ashkan Dejagah).
Much of their early success came on the back of a solid defence, but that is something which has been tested of late. The visitors have managed just two clean sheets out of their last seven outings and have conceded five times in their last four home matches, which suggests that the heavy pitches are not exactly helping them. However, at the other end of the pitch they remain pretty consistent and have scored an average of 1.5 goals per game on home soil.

It is easy to see just why they have been so impressive of late, as Rovers have managed to find the back of the net 12 times in their last four matches. With such a goalscoring threat, they can challenge any side in the division and they know that if they are able to maintain it then they will be in an excellent position to climb a division come the end of the season.

Britain's Health Minister Matt Hancock sparked a debate last week when he said Premier League players must "play their part" and take a pay cut while the league was suspended so that the clubs' non-playing staff are not furloughed. Players in the English top flight earn more in a week than the average Briton earns in years but Solskjaer said it was "unfair" to call out players who are looking at ways they can help National Health Service (NHS) workers on the front line.
Atalanta celebrate their third goal. Getty Images The Spaniards pulled one back, when Jose Palomino's sluggish pass went astray, and fell fortuitously into the path of substitute Denis Cheryshev, who finished with aplomb to make an instant impact and worry some sections of the Atalanta fanbase. But it was not to be.
I would never do something like that and I don't want someone with those characteristics in my staff. Responding to Enrique's accusations of disloyalty, Moreno said on Thursday: "I think he labelled me with words that are ugly and are not attributable to me. In a first meeting with Luis Enrique, he told me that I had done what I had to do and that he felt proud of me. Then I asked him for a meeting to give him a hug and convey my support.
Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino had similar results in the previous season in the top division in Belarus. Slavia Mozyr have finished in the 8th place with 37 points while Zhodino took the 6th place with 45 points in 30 matches played. Both teams had similar results in scoring and defense also. Both head-to-head matches between these teams were close and the latest game ended with the score 1-1.
Despite the defeat in the cup final against Valencia and the desire of many within the club to part company with the manager, both parties decided to go on one more season. But as far back as the beginning of November, just after they had lost 3-1 to Levante, the club approached former player Thierry Henry, only to be informed he had already signed a deal to join Montreal Impact. The Frenchman was told Valverde's days were numbered.
After previously finding the net against Chelsea and Club Bruges, Anthony Martial has now scored in three consecutive games, something he has not managed since September 2017. Solskjaer, though, says it is "a coincidence" Martial has started scoring following Bruno Fernandes' £47m arrival from Sporting Lisbon.
Chelsea’s struggles to break down defensive lines goes some way to explaining their excellent away record. They have won six of their nine Premier League away matches, scoring a massive 22 goals in the process. We’re expecting this to serve them well on Sunday, and with them scoring two or more goals in six of their nine away matches we think backing Chelsea Over 1.5 Team Goals is a great bet.
Great season so far from Leipzig, they have been in very good form on the Champions League and also on the league they are in good form, currently in the 2nd place with just 4 points less than Monchengladbach that is currently on the lead. On the other side, Koln has a poor record with 2 wins, 1 draw an 8 defeats on this league. The difference between the two sides is huge and Leipzig should be able to get a comfortable win on this match at home, which makes this -1.5 Asian Handicap the best line to bet here.
Dutch winger Reuser would go on to net the decisive goal in a 4-2 final victory against Barnsley later that month. Blackpool 3-2 Cardiff CityA sun-baked late May afternoon saw Blackpool and Cardiff City go head-to-head in the Championship play-off final. It had taken two pretty dramatic semi-final ties to pair them together as Cardiff kept their nerve to beat Leicester City on penalties and Blackpool stunned Nottingham Forest with a 4-3 second-leg victory at the City Ground.
Spanish league leaders Barcelona were held to a goalless draw at Sevilla, leaving the title race wide open with eight games remaining. The result means second-placed Real Madrid could move level on points with Barcelona when they travel to Real Sociedad on Sunday. Lionel Messi's free-kick skimmed the bar in the first half but Barcelona were frustrated by Sevilla's defence. Lucas Ocampos also hit the crossbar for the hosts before the break.
Bamford had several good chances, smashing against the crossbar in the 16th minute on the end of another fine Leeds move. Leeds finished the half having 63 per cent possession, having fired 15 shots at the Arsenal goal but, crucially, they could not find the net. After the break, that lack of a killer final touch came back to haunt Leeds as Arsenal stepped it up a gear, with Nelson’s second senior goal for the club settling the encounter.
Many schools and colleges have been closed in Milan on Monday, although the local transport system is operating. More than 600 Ludogorets fans were due to travel from Bulgaria for Thursday's Europa League last-32 first-leg match at the San Siro (20:00 GMT kick-off). It is not known whether any restrictions will be applied to Sunday's Serie A match between Juventus and Inter in Turin. The teams are first and third respectively in Italy's top flight.
Neither of these two seems like leading relegation candidates in the summer, but they meet in a vital clash at the bottom of the table on Boxing Day. These two sides are sitting in the bottom six in the Championship ahead of this clash, but can either of the two move further from the drop with three points?
Naftan will host Lida for this fixture of the league. I think, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result in this match. True, I think, this is a very unpredictable league. Perhaps, Naftan have advantage at home stadium. However, this will not be an easy task. I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate on the home field. On the other hand the visitors will pay attention on their pitch. Also, they will seek on their chance. My pick - Lida to win.
Liverpool have won just one of their past five home FA Cup matches against sides from outside the Premier League (W1 D3 L1) - three of those five games have ended 0-0. In all competitions, Shrewsbury will be the 99th different English team to play at Anfield and the first new opponent for the Reds since Havant & Waterlooville in January 2008. Only eight of the previous 98 won their first away game at Liverpool, most recently Wimbledon in March 1987.
The end of the season in the bottom half of the rankings made AE Larissa and Volos NFC participate in the relegation play-off stage. But the fact is that with a distance of up to 12 points compared to the group holding the red light, the position of both teams is currently quite safe.
Vitebsk have so far a good 2-1-1 record in the league but they scored only 3 goals. But they have also a tough defense conceding only 3 goals so far. The only home game of Vitebsk produced only 1 goal.
Brighton boss Graham Potter conceded his team struggled to keep up with Leicester's blistering pace. We're disappointed to lose but over the course of the game it was a fair result," he said. Once they are 1-0 up, they are hard to contain because they are so dangerous on the counter. They can attack in different ways.
Five Valencia players and staff are "in good health" after testing positive for coronavirus, the club says. Valencia and Argentina defender Ezequiel Garay became the first La Liga player to announce a positive test earlier on Sunday. Spain's La Liga was suspended on Thursday after the Real Madrid squad went into quarantine. Spain is the second worst-hit country in Europe after Italy and is set to declare a national lockdown on Monday.
