As the German Bundesliga resumes after the forced break, among the teams in action will be Werder Bremen at home to Bayer Leverkusen this Monday. Going to the match, Werder Bremen are placed 17th on the standings with 18 points and Leverkusen are fifth with 47 points. It has been a bad season so far for Werder Bremen; the threat of getting relegated is staring at them and there is little to argue that they may beat the drop.
Real, despite finishing third in La Liga, qualified because Barcelona won La Liga and finished runner-ups in the Copa del Rey. Zinedine Zidane's side, who are second in La Liga on goal difference, dominated from the start and had 17 attempts on goal at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. Their margin of victory could have been bigger as Isco's header hit the post before Luka Jovic's rebound from two yards out was blocked by Domenech.
He is not on the training ground saying 'this is what I need you to do'. He is the kind of man who in the big moments hopes you have enough instructions to think for your own self without having to refer to him or anything else. It is about growing your own understanding and being a leader who can take the game by the scruff of the neck. If I am trying to win a league, I am not going for Ancelotti.
TALKING POINT - Zinedine Zidane has rediscovered his old groove as Real Madrid manager At their best under Zidane, Real Madrid won games through muscle memory. This was another one of those victories. On the whole, Getafe were probably the better of the two teams, but the visitors took their chances and claimed a win to take them to the top of La Liga.
Today will be played 2 games from Portuguese U23 league. Rivals will be the teams of Famalicao U23 and Benfica U23. Benfica is favorite at this game and probably will win but odds are too low and I will not risk with 1x2 prediction.
The visitors have hit exactly two goals in each of their last three trips, while their last six games have all seen both teams score. Following that form, we are going with a 2-1 away win for Cagliari as they look to extend Udinese’s losing streak against the top teams.
The hosts dominated possession and carved out several opportunities to score but were eventually punished by their more incisive opponents. Christian Benteke, a threat throughout for Roy Hodgson's side, created Ayew's winning goal against the run of play. The Belgian forward turned away from a home defender to find his strike partner with a clever reverse pass, Ayew converting with a low shot under Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said he "does not want to talk" about Christian Eriksen's future after his side's 2-2 draw at Norwich. Eriksen, who has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent months, scored a free-kick on his first Premier League start under Mourinho. We are so open with one another," Mourinho told Sky Sports. We keep it to ourselves. Obviously I share it with my boss but it's just between us.
Sometimes you have to take a broader view. Man of the match - Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) Aston Villa's skipper has been directly involved in seven goals in the Premier League this season (three goals and four assists) - no English midfielder has been involved in more'We huffed and puffed' - what they said Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings: "It's a tough point and a well-deserved point. We made a few mistakes in the build-up to their goals, and they had a few chances, so we are satisfied with a point.
It is mainly a difference in terms of form these two clubs are at this moment with Southampton being 3-1-0 in their last 4 league games and not only did they won a couple of games lately but the opponents they defeated were really top clubs like Tottenham with 1-0 at home and two very big wins on the road as well last round winning with 2-1 away at Leicester while a couple of rounds ago they also won 2-0 away from home at Chelsea, and they are closing to the top 6 places thanks to the points they won lately.
It was he in the early nineties who re-established the philosophy he had practised as a player at the club under Rinus Michels, the philosophy of Total Football imported from Amsterdam. The basic principles have remained the same ever since: control possession and you can’t concede. Press high when out of possession to make the pitch as small as possible when the opposition has the ball.
However, the new timing will avoid a clash with FIFA's revamped 24-team Club World Cup (CWC) to be played in China in June and July 2021. Klopp said the Club World Cup, while lucrative to those involved, was another strain on players. The 2021 CWC) obviously they are offering clubs a lot of money," he said.
Birmingham is now in much better position after two wins in a row they are 8 points away from the relegation zone but still they conceded so many goals at home recently and they must improve that today and on the other side Cardiff is on the middle and they also has some wild games recently with even 7 goals being scored so a lot of people expect another game it goals from big teams but I don't think that is going to happen, in head to head matches here is rarely a game with over 2.5 goals being scored so I take the under
With 13 games remaining and Barcelona leading Real Madrid by two points, El Clasico at the Bernabeu on Sunday could be pivotal in deciding the most compelling La Liga title race for years. Neither team has looked particularly convincing this season, both have been hit by significant injury blows, and Real now have a Champions League home defeat to bounce back from, so there are plenty of uncertainties heading into a game that is likely to be tense and closely contested.
Who can qualify for Champions League and Europa League? Arsenal have lost 10 league matches for a third consecutive season for the first time since a run of seven between 1981-82 and 1987-88A plane flew a banner across Villa Park reading "Back Arteta Kroenke Out" as fans showed their opposition to owner Stan Kroenke during the defeat.

Fatih Karagumruk are tipped to win by most of the punters and have a 10 point lead over Istanbulspor here. But I am going for a draw. Because these state did not matter much in the first leg where Istanbulspor won by 4 goals and I expect a good performance from the visitors here in this game. Fatih have had good run going for over 5 straight games and the away side are capable given prior mentions. In this match between Faith and Istanbulspor, I foresee a draw. Because Istanbulspor is undefeated in 5 of the last 6 games also Fatih has won 4 of the last 5 games.
Paper Round’s view: It is close to incredible that Cheltenham was allowed to go ahead given the scope it had to spread the infection of coronavirus across the country to so many people. That the Grand National is to be suspended simply fits into the other cancellations of major sports events, but it seems far too late to make the difference it could have done a couple of weeks ago.
GOAL! Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Galatasaray: It's four for PSG and it's a goal for Mbappe this time!

What were City accused of?Uefa launched an investigation after German newspaper Der Spiegel published leaked documents in November 2018 alleging City had inflated the value of a sponsorship deal, misleading European football's governing body. Reports alleged City - who have always denied wrongdoing - deliberately misled Uefa so they could meet FFP rules requiring clubs to break even.

By that time the legacy will be gone," he added.

Manning's shot was blocked by a combination of Kyle Bartley and Jake Livermore, but his second attempt from just outside the box flew to Sam Johnstone's left into the bottom corner. The hosts were level when Robinson slipped a short pass into the inside-left channel and Diangana expertly scored his eighth goal of the season, firing through Lumley's legs.

West Brom need to pick themselves up at this vital time of the season. The hosts are heavy favourites to stop Middlesbrough here, with the visitors look poor in their away clashes this season. Boro have shipped nearly two goals per away game so far, while West Brom have hit 2.64 per home match. Their attacking intent has come at a cost, however.
The latest three matches Isloch Minsk reserves have played in the reserves league in Belarus were very high scoring. Isloch Minsk reserves are coming from a 4-2 win against Brest rest, before that they won 4-0 against Slutsk res and lost to Smolevichi res with the score 2-3.
West Brom have averaged over a goal against them per game this term, so we expect Chaplin to add to his good form. He should lead a Barnsley side who have averaged close to two goals per home game this term.

Djenepo was initially booked when he caught Isaac Hayden above the ankle but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) advised referee Graham Scott to take a second look on the pitchside monitor, after which a red card was produced.

Angers haven't been in the greatest vein of form recently but did manage to turn somewhat of a corner before the international break as they got a 0-0 draw away to a Reims side solid at home.

The penalty was given for handball by Sergio Ramos despite it appearing to be accidental.

Spanish Super Cup - who, why and where?The tournament has a new format this season, with the top two from La Liga and the Copa del Rey finalists playing in a four-team competition rather than the two winners playing each other.
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.
Same as normal really. Oh well. At least it was a memorable occasion for Odion Ighalo, though. United’s most recent attacking acquisition arrived to decidedly less fanfare than Rooney did back in the summer of 2004.

But speaking in Qatar before the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and Flamengo, he stressed he will "be ready if something arrives and, of course, open to listen". It is a weird time for us. But at the same time, I'm very relaxed, very happy when you look backwards. And, of course, obviously in life you need to move on," he added.
In this moment, Rad cannot play on good level against Red Star Belgrade and that is the fact. Guests are amazing team who is really the best in this moment in Serbia and this team is not so long ago played two years in a row in even Champions league, what is pretty impressive for them. RAD is team also from Belgrade, but this season they are poor and I think they will surely relegate from league, that is clear. In any case, this will be probably easy job for guests, so I will try that. It is real.
We never thought that this was going to hit us so hard. On occasions we have held joint video conferences to speak, hardly ever about football. I am sure I don't always get it right, but as coach and the person with the most experience at the club it is my responsibility to encourage not just my players but also my assistants, technical staff and all the employees and try to ensure that the mood doesn't drop so we can return in the best possible frame of mind.

Ah yes, that’s the problem. It should be a nice ‘n’ spicy one anyhow. Tune in.
