The FA Cup is one of the most illustrious competitions in world football that has sadly been eaten alive by the commercialisation of football but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. For example, imagine the potential scenes we could have been treated to if for the last 15 minutes there was the chance of extra-time and penalties.

City hadn’t have been wrongly awarded the corner from which Rodri scored. Those thin margins made all the difference, which made it all the more galling for Villa. They almost held their own against one of the most lavishly-assembled squads in the history of football. A squad which probably shouldn’t have been allowed to be so lavishly-assembled.
Shakhtyor fc have shared the spoil from their last game on the road to Vitebsk fc which end up without a goal so they are coming into this game in need of a win for them to grab all three points so more goals is expected.
Fluminense have had to fight against relegation throughout the season but having now ensured they'll avoid the drop, they can set their sights on a continental spot. Currently 14th and a point ahead of Botafogo, Tricolor travel to Sao Paulo knowing that a win would book them a slot in next year's Copa Sudamericana.
Erling Braut Haaland's start to life at Borussia Dortmund gets better and better. The 19-year-old striker, who joined the German side for £17. January transfer window, has won the Bundesliga player of the month award for January - despite playing less than an hour of football in the month. He did, however, score five times in those 59 minutes. That's a goal every 11. Haaland and Sancho score as Dortmund beat FrankfurtThe Norwegian came off the bench on his debut to score a hat-trick against FC Augsburg within 23 minutes before scoring twice past Cologne the following week, again as a substitute.
Their away form improved too with five points from their last three games, after seven successive defeats. They have a lot of work to do during the summer if their dreams of European football are ever going to come true. Survival is good enough at present though. Keeping clean sheets isn't their strongest asset.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he will 100% stay at the club and believes the "truth will prevail", after City's ban from European competition. Premier League champions City have been given a two-year Champions League ban and fined 30m euros (£25m) by Uefa. City say they will launch an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We appeal. When someone believes they are right they have to fight," Guardiola told Match of the Day.
This will be a great match as both team have decent performance so. Far in this season. Though Duisburg little bit off form but I hope the corona days really make them to rethink their strategy. Whereas Munich 1860 as always a settled team which gain the form and the capacity to dominate any team at this level or league. Both these club play attacking and aggressive nature of football. So we set to watch many goals this event. Also in recent past, if we see their last 10 matches then 80% of them settled as over 2.5 goals. Therefore I back over 2.5 goals in FT to select your bet in this match than match result. Good luck.

Serdar's curled low shot gave the hosts a deserved win after they dominated the second half as gutsy Union ran out of gas. Schalke are level on 25 points with leaders Borussia Moenchengladbach who welcome Freiburg on Sunday. Champions Bayern Munich, a point behind, host Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Schalke took the lead with a powerful Benito Raman strike in the 23rd but the in-form Berliners had a string of good chances before levelling with a Marcus Ingvartsen penalty 13 minutes later.
So far 7,340 people have died from the virus in Spain. The country is into the third week of a lockdown while all organised football has been postponed indefinitely.

two teams from the middle and the biggest advantage for the nice in this game is that they are playing at home where they are much better than on the road, at home they have 7-3-3 record and also their offense is great with 24 goals scored which is almost two goals per game and on the other side brest on the road is not so good, overall they are in good shape and that is why the odd on nice is so high but still tonight I think they will concede at least two goals and surely lose the game at the end
Norwich against top-flight relegation if Championship endsPlayers should decide on return, says Boro's ClaytonLeague One and Two clubs 'expect season to be over'The plan for the Championship is still to complete the season, thereby avoiding avoid a potential legal minefield around promotion and relegation if the campaign ends early but the Premier League plays to a conclusion. BBC Radio Manchester has acquired a copy of the EFL's 'return to training' draft protocols, which are based around current government guidelines for Covid-19 protocols.
Meanwhile, after finishing well off the play-off pace last season, Barnet are hoping to break into the top 7 this campaign. On paper, they have some talented players that should really be contending at the top end of the National League but currently 11th, there's still plenty of work to be done.
But I don’t want to be crying all the time, want to focus on the players available. One possible replacement for Kane in the Spurs line-up is 17-year-old Republic of Ireland international Troy Parrott. Parrott made his debut for Spurs earlier this season in the EFL Cup defeat to Colchester United before making his first Premier League appearance under Jose Mourinho during the 5-0 defeat of Burnley.
All but one of Espanyol's nine points this term have been on the road and Pablo Machin's men have been truly woeful in front of their own supporters at RCDE Stadium. The Barcelona based outfit have lost seven from eight on their own patch conceding 18 goals in total, with a 1-1 draw against Getafe at the end of November marking their only decent display.
And in all this, you almost forget about Shrewsbury. Through no fault of their own, they are being denied a chance to showcase themselves against proper opposition at Anfield. If that’s the mentality – 'we don’t care, it’s just about us' – then football has lost its values. The Premier League is already drifting towards being like La Liga and Serie A, where the little clubs stay little because the big clubs don’t want to risk losing their status.
We spoke to them on the phone when we were travelling back and their coach was rocking - it was a bit rowdy compared to ours. We were just playing cards, supping juices, but we had the FA Cup sitting next to us. It was a bit surreal. The relegation: A parade, and City sack their managerManchester City announced manager Roberto Mancini had been sacked with a statement on their website at 10:22pm on Monday, 13 May.

Magdeburg is one of the lowest scoring teams especially in their away games where in 16 games they have just 3 losses but also just 3 games won by them as their record on the road reads 3-9-3 reason why they are so close at this moment to the relegation places just 4 points away while on the road in 15 games played they scored just 14 goals but quite great defending with also just 14 goals scored by them so less than 2 goals scored per away game played by them.

The Cup Winners' Cup no longer exists but was held for 39 seasons before being absorbed into the Uefa Cup - now itself known as the Europa League - in 1999. City got as far as the semi-finals when they defended their title in 1970-71, losing to eventual winners Chelsea. City's hopes of being the first team to retain the trophy were ended by eventual winners Chelsea, who beat them 1-0 home and away in the 1970-71 semi-finals, and are seen celebrating here in the bath at Maine Road after the second leg with goalscorer Keith Weller holding his drink aloft.
England international Rashford, 22, is out with a stress fracture in his back sustained after coming on as a substitute during the FA Cup third-round replay win against Wolves on 15 January. AnalysisManchester United do feel like they are winners. The situation is United would argue they have long-term targets and have consistently said that they will only try and sign long-term targets in January.
It makes you feel really sad that there are still things like this," said De Jong. I can't imagine people thinking this way, it's really strange. In our dressing room we have players from South America, Holland, Spain, everywhere in the world and we're coming together - the colour of your skin and where you're from doesn't matter. Sport can play a big role [in the fight against racism] as you can reach many people.

Meanwhile, Wolves skipper Conor Coady says footballers "want to make as much difference as possible" during this "horrible time". Footballers are good people," defender Coady, 27, said. We want to try and help the right people at the right times, to make sure that people are getting the best possible care. It's a horrible, horrible time we're in. It's about everybody coming together, not trying to point fingers at certain people within the world and trying to say they're not doing enough.
Bet on 2 BATE Borisov to win away this cup game in the 1x2 full time market. Bate Borisov fair odds seem to be 1.61 so it is well underrated by the majority of the bookies at 2.05. They started the league not so well this year and for sure they have the Belarus cup set as an objective. BATE Borisov still is the strongest team in the country. On the other hand we have Slavia Mozyr playing at home but highly overrated by all the bookies at around 3.10 on average, fair odds for them seem to be 9.45!
Kane and Son have both made the transition from underrated to Europe’s finest. And this isn’t saying Moura is at that level. It’s just that while Spurs cater to the aforementioned duo, Moura is left – often successfully, recently less so – filling whatever vacancy in the team remains. Everyone will have the own barometer for ‘underrated’.
Al Mojzel only has a 2-1-6 record at home so far this season and with 17 goals conceded, they have the worst defense at home of all the teams in the league. In the last 3 home games they conceded a total of 8 goals. But they also have scored in 8 of the last 11 home games.

Very important match for both teams. Both teams have been playing great football whole season long but most likely one of the is not going into playoffs. Cartagines now took over that 4th spot so Guadalupe have to won. Also Jicaral with a won could make some troubles as Cartagines is playing against Guadalupe at the last round. However Guadalupe are playing outstanding football this season with great defending and have some very good individual talent at the team. It is not going to be easy as both teams will much likely not risk too much but also I give a slight advantage to Guadalupe.
I think there is still time for us to win the league. Real captain Sergio Ramos underlined the importance of the victory for his side after a week in which they were reeling from a Champions League last 16, first-leg defeat at home to Manchester City and a shock 1-0 Liga loss away to Levante. This was a unique opportunity to put our own fate in our own hands for the rest of the season, against a brilliant side but with our fans on our side," he said.
Sure, you can see what he’s trying to do, and what he’s trying to say. But he might want to tread quite carefully here. Still, he probably did endear himself to their fans by declaring that they wouldn’t be signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a move that would surely have signalled they were going Full Jose.
It is hoped specific proposals will be presented by mid-May at the latest. However, the continuing uncertainty over the spread of coronavirus is creating major issues, with some leagues - including Germany and Denmark - talking optimistically about a resumption next month, while others - England among them - believe it will be June at the earliest before they can play games, and some Premier League clubs feel it will be longer than that.
Nimes aren't having the best of seasons, but if we scratch beneath the surface there's a reasonable amount to like about their home efforts, so much so that they warrant more respect in the betting. For all they've not taken a great deal of points, Blaquart's side have been tough to beat at home, especially of late, losing just one of their last five. During that time, they've conceded only three goals and haven't conceded more than once in 90 minutes. They've also done a good job of bettering teams in terms of shots, averaging 17 for and 8.2 against.

They have failed to score in three of their last five matches and three of their last four matches have yielded over 2. In their last 18 matches across all competitions, Bristol have won just one and facing a promotion chasing side will pose a big challenge to their ambitions. They were outplayed by second – from bottom side Southend United in their last match, losing 3-1 and have not scored a first half goal in their last five matches.
An end to home advantage, more young players and weird celebrations - are these among the things we can expect to see in the Premier League when it restarts inside empty stadiums?The last two weeks of Bundesliga action have given us an insight into how the game has been affected behind closed doors in Germany. And there have been benefits, as well as disadvantages, to playing without fans. Here are a few things we have noticed that could have an impact on the Premier League.
Swansea City are in 11th place with 30 points from 20 matches, scoring 25 goals against 25, winning in all 8 matches, 6 games ended in draw and 6 games lost. In their last 5 league games 2 draws and 3 lost games, they are out of form at the moment and with this game at hand, they have to buckle up and no loss of more points.
Everton stretched their unbeaten run to five games as a 3-1 victory over out-of-form Crystal Palace moved them up to seventh in the Premier League. The hosts dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead when Bernard volleyed in Theo Walcott's superb cross. But Palace, without a win so far in 2020, fought back after the break and equalised when Christian Benteke's low strike went under keeper Jordan Pickford.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2Hugh's prediction: 0-0Matthew's prediction: 1-4SUNDAY Bournemouth v Watford (14:00 GMT)Bournemouth's performance in their last Premier League game, a 4-0 defeat by West Ham on New Year's Day, was probably their worst since they were promoted to the top flight in 2015. Watford being held by Tranmere after going 3-0 up was probably the strangest result of the FA Cup third round - and good luck to them in the replay because have you seen the pitch at Prenton Park? Media playback is not supported on this device League One Tranmere come back from 3-0 down at Watford to earn replay Look at league form, and there is only one winner - the resurgent Hornets - but I still think the Cherries are capable of springing a surprise.

Slavia Mozyr has won the first leg of this semifinal in the Belarus Cup by 1-0, so BATTE now needs a win by more than a goal here at home to reach the final. I think collecting a large win will be quite easy for BATE, which is one of the best teams in Belarus and has even conceded no goal in the last 3 official matches after 2 surprising losses in the first 2 games of this season. Slavia Mozyr has scored no goal in the last 4 games played here @BATE, even conceding 6 in the last 2 matches, so I will bet on a large win for the home team.
