Barnes scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes left after VAR deemed Jose Holebas had fouled the Burnley forward. James Tarkowski put the gloss on Burnley's victory late on, forcing home a rebound after his first effort had been well saved by Ben Foster. Watford are yet to win at home in the Premier League this season and their lack of confidence in front of goal was summed up by another toothless display.
He said he had been shocked to hear some players had flown in a hairdresser before the game against Frankfurt in order to look good on the pitch. I would have bet 100,000 euros that our players would not fly in a star hairdresser to get their hair done in the hotel," Rangnick said this week. I would have lost the 100,000 euros.
The hosts score an average of 1.00 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.13 goals while Famalicao score ana average of 1.38 goals per away game, which is why we have backed the visitors to claim a narrow 2-1 win on Saturday. The visitors away games produce an average of 3.25 total goals which ties in well with our prediction for three goals to be produced in Saturday’s clash.
Mason Mount scored the first in the 14th minute, bursting from midfield and playing a one-two with Pedro before controlling the ball, turning and shooting low into the corner. Seven minutes later Spain's Pedro, revelling in space, latched on to a fine through ball from former Everton midfielder Ross Barkley and picked his spot to the left of the advancing Jordan Pickford.

Flamengo didn't play particularly well against Al Hilal in midweek to reach this point but their attacking quality bailed them out, as Mengao came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1. Indeed, having plunged home an average of 2.26 goals a game on their way to claiming the domestic title, as well as having used their firepower to secure continental glory, it's clear Flamengo have the quality to trouble any opponent and they’ll be hoping that’s the case this weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen are in excellent form with 7 wins and 1 draw in the last 8 games and since the winter break they have won all of the 6 games at home scoring at least 2 goals in each match. However, they also kept a clean sheet in only 2 of the 6 games.

What a terrible start for Setien on his return to the Benito Villamarin! 10’ GOAL! Real Betis 1-1 Barcelona: Barcelona have hit back immediately! De Jong has the ball in the back of the net! Messi played a stunning pass into the Dutchman who controlled it on his chest, took a great touch and fired it home on the volley! Barca are back on level terms! 27’ GOAL! Real Betis 2-1 Barcelona: The hosts have retaken the lead and the Benito Villamarin erupts! Vidal gives the ball away, Umtiti backs off Fekir and gives the French international the chance to pick his spot and he does just that, arrowing a strike past Ter Stegen and into the bottom corner! 45+2’ GOAL! Real Betis 2-2 Barcelona: An equaliser right at the end of the first half! Busquets controls a freekick delivery into the Real Betis box and then finishes on the stretch! Barcelona have got themselves back on level terms as we head into the break.
The fact is that we really don’t know much,” Ceferin explained. We are waiting for the development of this terrible situation in the world, and mainly in Europe. It is still better to play the game behind closed doors and have it on TV, which is what the people need and want because it brings positive energy to their homes, than not playing at all. That’s what the people want, that brings positive energy, and it will be July or August.

Eibar vs Atletico Madrid predictions for Saturday night’s La Liga clash at Ipurua. Can Atleti recover from last weekend’s Supercopa de Espana disappointment and beat an Eibar side that have lost five of their last seven in La Liga? Read on for all our free match predictions and betting tips.
Hamilton is yet to pick up a win away from home in the league this season, and it'll be tough for them to pick up their first victory against their rivals, who are in fantastic form. Motherwell has won four of their last five games and has scored at least twice in three of those four wins, which is why we're backing them to get the upper hand over the Accies and over 2.5 goals.
Excellent. The final match of Round 26 ones to us on Monday, and I expect a good bit of fireworks to be going off. First of all, the straight 3 on this total leaves me sitting just fine should they get stuck at 2 - 1. Return my money, walk away, no harm no foul. Secondly, the price of +108 (2.08) is just as lovely. I would be not shocked if we saw two goals in the opening stanza and a wild race in the second-half that could produce two, if not 3 goals in the final 45. This could be a 3 - 2 affair in other words.
Olympique Lyonnais' women's team is among the most dominant in the sport, with 13 domestic league titles and some of soccer's biggest names on its roster, including England's Lucy Bronze and France's Wendie Renard. Reign FC is a reliable high performer in the NWSL, with then-coach Vlatko Andonovski leading the team to back-to-back playoff appearances before being appointed the head coach of the World Cup champion U.

It's very, very weird. Freiburg coach, Christian Streich, told a virtual news conference: "Obviously, it's sad the fans cannot watch the game, that we can't meet up and go to the game and play this game together. This is not something that can go on indefinitely. But under these conditions I did not expect a drop in quality because of a lack of fans and we did not see that. Hertha Berlin boss Bruno Labbadia defended his side celebrating their goals without social distancing.
'Correct Score' punters can try a 1-1 draw. After all, Lyon have only failed to score once in this group, as have Leipzig. Add in that the circumstances and the fact that Lyon have conceded exactly one in each of their home games and a low-scoring draw stands out as a reasonable option.
Arsenal Dzyarzhynsk have played few friendly games recently and most of these matches were high scoring. Arsenal Dzyarzhynsk have recorded a 3-1 win in the latest game against Slonim, earlier they have suffered a 1-4 loss against FC Minsk and also lost to Gorodeja with the score 1-3.
Aves narrowly lost 2-1 away at the league leaders Benfica last time out while Portimonense were held to a goalless draw at home to Pacos Ferreira leaving both teams occupying the two relegation places in the Primeira Liga. Portimonense head into Saturday’s clash as the form favourites with three draws and one win from their last six matches in all competitions but Aves haven’t lost any of their last four games against Saturday’s guests, with the pair drawing twice during that period.
'Correct Score' players are pointed in the direction of a 1-0 win for the visitors. Pompey have tightened up of late, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two. They've not been prolific on the road but have enough forward quality to edge it against a side that has often misfired at home. MK Dons have failed to score in four out of six against top-half teams at home this season.

The ticket covers 10 league games starting with Everton on Dec. Chelsea (Jan. Tottenham Hotspur (May 2) and league leaders Liverpool (May 17). The stadium capacity exceeds 52,000 but average league attendances have only been around 46,000 this season. Tickets will be handed out on a first-come first-served basis to existing season ticket holders.
Lampard added that he was not getting carried away by Chelsea's recent return to form, including a 2-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday which featured many of the players involved in Sunday's thumping of Everton. He warned his players that the battle for the fourth Champions League spot - which Chelsea currently occupy - remained alive.
However, his Post-Shot Expected Goals figure is 34. So Guaita has a differential of +8. Premier League. Only Dubravka, who was another worthy consideration for this piece, had a better figure (+8. The fact that there are such convoluted steps to statistically measure goalkeepers is another great example of how goalkeepers are so often overlooked by fans and pundits alike.
In Joelinton - the club's record £40m signing from Hoffenheim - they have a striker who has netted just once in the league and is on a run of 22 games and 1,856 minutes without a goal. The Brazilian works hard for the team but he lacks goals and also touches inside the opposition penalty area - just three of his 47 came in the 18-yard box. One chance did fall to him in the first-half when he was unmarked eight yards out, but his flicked effort at the near post drifted off target.
A small group of extremely peeved Everton fans visited the club’s training ground on Wednesday, which is never a good sign. They met football director Marcel Brands and had an “amicable” chat. The Warm-Up wasn’t there, but we imagine the conversation began with the weather, moved on to the humiliation at the feet of Liverpool Babies, then ended with a group lament about how tiring it is, day after day, week after week, to support a football club this utterly cursed.
Stéphan's men have been rather awful away from home this season with six defeats and two draws making up their last eight games on the road. Some of these matches have come against beatable sides like Cluj (0-1), Brest (0-0) and Dijon (1-2) but they have consistently slipped up, damaging their league position. Rennes have conceded 13 goals in that time with just six in reply and it could get messy as they travel to the Stade Saint-Symphorien.
Real Madrid have dropped to second, generating income of 757. Manchester United remain third. Arsenal have slipped out of the top 10 or the first time. Barcelona's rise to the top with income of 840 million euros is a clear sign of 'a club adapting to changing market conditions' by bringing merchandising and licensing activities in-house, according to Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
Not this time. The atmosphere was chastened, with everyone keeping their mouths under face masks and obeying physical distancing rules. There was no chatting or joking with the security personnel. Instead, everyone that wanted to enter the stadium acted seriously, realising how surreal the situation was. At the entrance, security officers were waiting to check the accreditations of everyone, but more importantly to receive forms with questions about recent symptoms and infections in the family.

They host FC Slutsk who are in third place but only two points above them. The home side got their season off to a poor start with a 1-0 home defeat by Zhodino. Perhaps not too bad though, considering their opponents now top the league table. They are unbeaten in the league since that opening loss and won their second game 2-0 at Gorodeja.
The KNVB was among 55 members of European football’s governing body who on Wednesday discussed possible next steps for football on the continent following the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The KNVB issued a statement saying it would follow UEFA’s desire to try and complete the season, even if it meant re-starting the suspended campaign in mid-June and playing through into August.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Wednesday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Bayern. The visitors head into the game as the form favourites and with an excellent recent record against their hosts. Freiburg have been good at home this season so we’re certainly not expecting a big win for Bayern but we do believe the visitors’ extra quality going forward will see them through to all three points.
As well as being better organised, the whole team seemed engaged defensively too - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was chasing back down the left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles was switched on at right-back and I thought David Luiz had his best game of the season at the heart of their defence. Put it all together and the first 45 minutes was as good a display as I have seen from Arsenal for some time. It is just a shame it did not last.
When these two sides met for the reverse fixture Gent secured all three points courtesy of a 3-2 win and both teams have scored in all of Gent’s and Saint-Etienne’s eight games in Group I combined. The hosts have secured three draws in the group stage two of which arrived in their two home games so far, while Gent remain unbeaten in Group I but have drawn one game at home and one game on the road.
Odds have gone down quite a lot on the home win and the handicap bets on the hosts in this one and for good reasons as the hosts are league leaders with 30 points 3 more points than 2nd placed Esteli at this moment while Ocotal is really playing like the worst club in the league right now, their last two away games they lost with 2-0 in the end, scored just 2 goals in 6 away games this season while conceding 13 goals total as they even lost with 5-0 away from home at Esteli early on.
They’ve beaten both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, rolled over and let Southampton scratch their belly, and worst of all surrendered late goals away at Brighton and Newcastle. Tuesday night’s draw with Arsenal was the icing on a particularly soggy cake. The early-season charm of Chelsea’s youth approach after a transfer ban has now worn off, fans are frustrated and the media are circling.
I could come and work on Arsenal’s defence and make them better tomorrow, not a problem whatsoever. I’ve done it everywhere I’ve been – Newcastle, Blackburn, Bolton, West Ham Crystal Palace, Everton, I’ve done it all there. But what you can’t do is get the front line performing that much better, you’ve got to hope you’ve got good quality players up there, and Arsenal have.
Ings joined Southampton for £20m from Liverpool last summer after spending the previous campaign on loan with the south-coast club. With 18 goals towards Saints' total of 41, Ings has scored the joint-highest percentage of his team's Premier League goals this season along with Norwich's Teemu Pukki (11/25)"What a signing Ings has turned out to be," Lawro said. He is a brilliant goal poacher. They loved having him around the place at Liverpool because he is such a positive personality, but he did not fit into Jurgen Klopp's system so he had to leave to flourish, which is exactly what he is doing with Saints.
Club president Dirk Zingler described the situation as exceptional. Our club's purpose is football. If it ceases to exist, then it will touch the core of our existence," he said. The management, our staff, the squad and backroom staff have worked hard in recent months to ensure success in the Bundesliga.
The top 18 teams are closer than that. Focusing on Forest and Leeds in particular, the gap is four points. Leeds are in the second automatic promotion spot and Forest have a play-off place thanks to their fourth-place position. Despite their lofty positions, both teams lost at the weekend (both suffering their seventh league defeats of the campaign).
In terms of our correct score tip, we cannot see there being too much between the two teams. The hosts concede an average of 1.73 goals per game at home this season but score 1.27 goals themselves. With the visitors scoring two or more goals per game in four of their last six outings and averaging 1.27 goals per game on the road overall, we think backing a 2-1 away win is the way to go.
That dreadful record should make for some interesting reading for Burnley, though the Clarets will need to drag their performance levels up a few notches to take advantage of their visitor's travel sickness this week.
Twelve years after his last appearance for Arsenal as a player, Ljungberg was given a chance to show fans inside a far-from-full Emirates he is capable of managing the club where he won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups. It started well, with the Swede given a decent reception by the crowd, before rapidly going downhill as Brighton, who had lost their previous four away games, took control.
So I have got to give credit to my players. For the fans who turned out, it just shows you this cup has got a wonderful presence. My players were exceptional. Probably say we got the best chance of the game. All in all a very good performance by my players and I am very pleased with them. I thought we tried to play, which was brave of the players.
But slowly, heads started to look up, not down. The fatalistic view began to fall away. Through the hard work of Guangchang, Shi, chief executive Laurie Dalrymple, sporting director Kevin Thelwell and manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves reset their aims. If Wolves finish in the top half of the table this season, it will be the first time they have done so in consecutive top-flight campaigns in 47 years.
