Here we go with very interesting match between Ruh Brest and Horodeya in Belarus. Guests are in little better shape in this season and they are slight favorites in this game and I think that today will be very offensive match between these both teams . Anyway, both teams are really poor in offense so I don't expect much goals today. I think there won't be any goals in this match. I hope that this match will end 4:1 for Ruh BREST. The home team are in very good shape, in the last 5 matches they lost only one time. Good luck

Only one of their last 11 home league games have been lost, so this won't be an easy game at all for their opponents. They know that already though, having lost 2-0 at Brest in the first leg of their Belarus Cup semi-final.
At one point it looked as though Accrington would spend the campaign fighting for survival, though John Coleman's men have seemingly shed the tag of relegation scrappers and are rapidly turning into a side that is challenging for a place in the top half.
Gray had an early penalty saved by West Ham's returning keeper Lukasz Fabianski but Iheanacho headed Leicester into a deserved lead in the 40th minute. West Ham's one flowing move of the first half saw them level with Pablo Fornals slotting home.

So when I arrived in England the first thing I said to myself is "I have to speak English" and the club not only helped me but also encouraged me to speak English even with all the difficulties, which is why I made that effort. I have always made this effort from my first press conference, I always spoke to the players in English and I believe progressively I am speaking it better. Communication in football is very important and it has been one of the basic foundations of my success in Spain and France.

Both teams scored in 67% of Sparta’s and 53% of Heracles matches this season, so we can expect to see goals being scored by both teams this weekend, especially as the hosts haven’t failed to score at home this season and Heracles have no clean sheets away from home and have conceded in both halves of away games in 43% of their trips on the road.
Luton Town are the worst team in the Championship, after 26 games, they have win 6 matches, 3 ended in draw and 17 lost games. With 21 points to show in the Championship doesn't speak so well for them. 4 from the last 5 league games ended over 2.5 goals, and I expect such to happen here again.
The initial transition can be tough but if you just stick at it, naturally you get used to it. You start to perform at that level and it will become standard. What was it like when you first trained with the first team?The first time was under David Moyes and a group of us went over. It was an amazing feeling. I remember the training session, we didn't actually touch the ball, we were just doing shape and stuff like that.
Charlton manager Lee Bowyer was an early candidate to take over the Bluebirds, but he continues his impressive reign at the Valley, having taken Charlton up from League One to the top half of the Championship.

This season we have played a little closer together in midfield so I've probably appreciated her more and what she does for the team so consistently.

The way the day went, the occasion and to score that kind of goal at the Etihad.
The impact of this crisis may be beyond the worst nightmare," Burleanu said. Football will change, there'll be a complete reconstruction. Football will be totally different. I'm afraid that if we do not resume the championship at the latest in May, we will no longer find 14-16 professional clubs in the first two leagues.
Bnei Yehuda will host Hapoel Kfar Saba for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are small favorites on the home field. Bnei Yehuda have better results in this campaign. They are currently on the 1st place with 34 points. However, Bnei Yehuda is not very good team. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Hapoel Kfar Saba who's is one of the outsiders in this relegation group. They are currently on the 5th place with 26 points. The visitors have big fluctuations. Nevertheless, they have a chance to fighting for all three points.
He and Cruyff famously disagreed, with Cruyff finding Van Gaal’s football overly mechanistic, but however profound and irreconcilable their differences were, they were arguing over details in the same philosophy. They may have read the text differently, but they were talking about the same book, and it was the book Cruyff had written with Michels.
However, he was blamed for the quarter-final loss at the 1970 World Cup when England, leading 2-0 in the second half, eventually lost 3-2.

Playing without fans for a long time is tiring. I know it was the only way to finish the season, but I hope the stadiums will be open from September. If I had to choose between not playing next season or playing behind closed doors, I'd rather not play. And it's not just me who thinks like this. These matches are worse than practice. Italy sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora said on Friday that fans could be allowed back in September, depending on the public health situation.
We will start, I hope, at the beginning of the month (May) with tests to ensure that players are negative and the training can follow. Will we play through the summer? We don't have a deadline but the idea is to finish the championships.

Manchester United started the season poorly but seem to have turned the bend. They have managed to string up a five match unbeaten run and meeting the weakest side in the league is sure to boost their confidence. The last five matches must have built United’s resolve and wins over Manchester City and Tottenham are testament to their capability. While they have scoring a plenty, Watford have been conceding a lot and Watford’s form at home should work for United. In the last 10 matches, United have scored twice or more in eight, on the flipside, Watford have conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight. Watford have also failed to score in six of their last 10 matches and scored in just one of the last five league matches at home. Based on this, Manchester United are outright favorites, and we are backing them for a 2-0 win.
