This is a bunched Serie A table, with a lot of sides packed into the middle. The top five seem set, but Parma went into the weekend only 10 points clear of fourth-bottom Brescia. The hosts were only 11 clear of the drop and just 13 above last place, so nearly three-quarters of Serie A isn’t on secure ground. Tough seasons for Napoli, AC Milan and Fiorentina – who all trail Parma – show how close things are.
Gladbach score an average of 2.63 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.38 goals and Paderborn score an average of 1.14 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.14 goals, which we believe ties in well with our prediction for a 3-1 final scoreline on Wednesday.
Leeds are coming into this one on the back of a fine run, while that four-game winning streak has obviously made them the favourites for the points in this game. The hosts are aiming to keep their form rolling in their pursuit of West Brom, while they are expected to make short work of a side who have had quite the fall from grace over the last year and a bit.
Regarding this latest appeal to the ECHR, Platini challenged Cas' judgment on three grounds: a right to a fair hearing, that Fifa rules had been used retrospectively against him and that the ban was excessive. In its judgement, the ECHR said: "The court found in particular that, having regard to the seriousness of the misconduct, the senior position held by Mr Platini in football's governing bodies and the need to restore the reputation of the sport and of Fifa, the sanction did not appear excessive or arbitrary.
What chance does the great project have of ending in a true fairytale? It’s difficult to say, not least because of the way Real Sociedad have been playing this season. Home-grown star Mikel Oyarzabal is dove-tailing wonderfully with Alexander Isak and Martin Odegaard and together the trio help make Imanol Alguacil’s side one of the most exciting in Europe.
Tottenham have not done that. The team that sat 14th in the league in November are manifestly worse than the team that finished second in 2016-17. That summer, Spurs lost a wantaway Kyle Walker and failed to replace him. Serge Aurier does not count. In the 2017-18 season Tottenham finished third – two points ahead of Liverpool – and signed no one.
It is no coincidence Las Sabanas was underestimated by experts when playing at home in this match. Looking at the current table, Las Sabanas is really a big disappointment for fans when they only won 1 of the first 10 rounds in the Clausura period.
Tenerife is playing well recently with 4 wins and only 1 defeat in the past 6 matches. However, that is not enough to help this team can surprise Bilbao in the next match and win tickets to go on. Remember, Tenerife is only the team playing in the second division and they are very difficult in the bottom of the table when only 1 point away from the red light group. Meanwhile, Bilbao is in high form with the last 8 unbeaten matches and only 1 defeat in the past 15 matches. This team also has a good ranking in La Liga, only 5 points from the top 5.
Ramos, who turns 34 next month, is set to captain Spain at the European Championship and has been playing for Real Madrid at his usual relentless pace, starting 30 games already this season. But Zidane said he is not concerned about the potential knock-on effects of Ramos playing two major international tournaments after another gruelling campaign with Real, who hope to challenge for the Spanish title and the Champions League.
As a manager I need to make sure that mentally my players are ready to give their all for the club if selected," he told BBC Three Counties Radio. Fleetwood are a very good side. We know we're up against it. As soon as the play-offs were confirmed the bookies made us outsiders, after jumping from eighth to third. All these things seem to make Wycombe the team that won't win the play-offs - for no reasons.

I think it is time that home team is began to play better than it was the case so far in league. So, Shakhtar Soligorsk is have excellent team, but they are not started too good this season, even their ambitions are pretty big again.

I believe that we will see goals on both sides in this match, so I will try that. Over 2,25 is ok.
