Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 71% of Sporting’s home games as well as in 57% of Benfica’s away games, and both teams have scored in 71% of the hosts’ home matches which ties in well with our prediction for a 2-1 Benfica victory. Sporting have scored 12 goals at home this season but their guests have scored 16 times on the road and we believe that that extra scoring power will see Benfica through to a win on Friday.
Going to this game, Valencia have three straight wins, and are unbeaten in the last four matches. They have three losses and eight wins in their last 15 matches while they have failed to score in just one of the last 15 matches. They will however have defensive concerns going to this game, as they have just two clean sheets in the last 14 matches.
Montenegro first division, 27 round and match between Radar and Petrovac. After 26 matches Rudar on 6 place on table with 10 wins, 4 draw and 12 losses games, 34 points and goal difference 37:47. On the another side Petrovac on 7 place on table with 7 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses games, 28 points and goal different 24:43. In first two games this season Rudar win 1:4 and 4:0. Last week Rudar played with Kom 1:1 but Petrovac won with Iskra 4:1. For me is time Petrovac to get same points and go to safe position on table. Best option for me is double chance x2.

I don't want to say what he said because I could be in trouble. It was in French because he is French. Whatever was said, events at the Amex Stadium clearly had a huge impact on Arteta as he has banished Guendouzi from the first team, leaving his Arsenal future in serious doubt. Arteta is already renowned around Arsenal's London Colney training base for his calm and clarity - but underneath lies a personality not to be crossed.
Pep Guardiola has questioned why more Manchester City fans did not turn up for his side's 4-0 win over Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round. The attendance of 39,223 at Etihad Stadium was the third highest in the round, behind West Ham and Newcastle. Today was not full - I don't know why," the City manager said. He added he hoped there would be "more people" and "more support" at Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester United.
If I could bring Mbappe [to Real Madrid]. Hazard told Le Parisien. There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he'll be one of the best players in history. By 20 years old, I'd already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there's no comparison [between me and Mbappe].
The Bavarians were far from impressive, having only one shot on target in the first half, with injured top scorer Robert Lewandowski's efficiency badly missing.

Not just the players but other people employed through professional football - our industry employs hundreds of thousands. There is the potential for it to turn ugly very quickly… If we don't respond quickly in terms of stabilising the cash flow we could see mass redundancies and mass lay-offs of players and other staff within weeks.
These teams have been both strong teams for getting the ball into the box this season and this could be a very high scoring match with how open they play their matches against each other. Can see this match having a lot of goals but will play it safe and pick over 2 for the match. This will be attacking right from the start, as both of these teams do not usually look to defend as much as some other teams do, they look to play some faster football and look to get in to dangerous scoring positions more often

in this match I decide to go with draw because quality of these two teams is pretty much similar and also I think both teams will be happy with a draw, central coast mariners are very good team at home but overall they are very bad and only Newcastle jets are below them on the table, and on the other side Brisbane is pretty much unpredictable and inconsistent but I think they will not going to chase win too hard, so I expect draw 1-1 or 2-2 at the end because 0-0 is really not realistic to happen, good luck who will follow it!
Ebbsfleet has good results in their recent away games winning 3 away games in a row before their most recent away game at Stockport which ended in just a 1-1 draw in the end, but they won here with no less than 3-0 last season on their last visit here at Barnet, so it is understandable why odds of 3.60 for the away win are dropping at this moment just that the guests have drawn many games lately so I prefer to take double chance on them here.

That set the tone for what was to follow, with the visitors wasting several good chances to extend their lead before Alexandre Lacazette turned in a close-range equaliser. The goal did little to kick-start Arsenal though, who fell behind for a second time when James Ward-Prowse scored on the rebound after seeing his second-half penalty saved by home goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Not even Lacazette's second goal of the day, which came late in stoppage time, could raise spirits at the Emirates, with the forward appearing embarrassed to celebrate.

Back Watford to book their progress to the fourth round with a win in normal time.
