The football is back in Estonia, after the long break, because of the events that happened outside of the football. The league actually never really started, it is only 2nd round, the clubs never reached their peak form and we cannot make any comparison between the teams. Flora are the defending champions and by far the best team in the country.
Monarchs made a lot of problem to the favorite Cruz Azul in the recent games, but away team is still big favorite, not only in this match, but in the competition in whole. Cruz is playing in CONCACAF Champions competition and they should make this one, at least not to lose.
Pauli is in better condition at the moment and right under this rival at the league table. Host is dealing with a lot of injuries and they cannot make the top line up at this period of the league. They can have big problem to avoid to concede goal from the rival, and if Sankt Pauli had chance to make advantage, they should left with it till the finish.

To the European market it appears as Pogba will be sensationally expensive and still with an unclear role. It would take a manager willing to go beyond the player's flexibility and above all else risk building a midfield that depends on Pogba's function in a certain position, not a midfield where Pogba has to do everything.

The hosts are second in the league but really should be bottom with Panionios on bottom place with just 6 points winning more points than Panetolikos, 12 total, but being deducted 6 points for their financial problems, while Panetolikos has just one win in the league and are with 8 points one of the main relegation candidates, and they did not play that well earlier this week in the cup as well at home against modest Panionios only drawing the game 0-0 in the end despite being favorites for the win.
AFC Wimbledon have managed to lift themselves out of the bottom three in recent weeks, winning two of their last three games.

Players should follow the news, it adds, but not too much. Avoid reading everything on COVID-19 in the news or on social media because this can unnecessarily amplify stress or worry," it says. Some national players' unions, meanwhile, have set up hotlines to help their members.

We need to give the SPFL and the member clubs the courtesy to resolve the matter themselves. Ultimately the SFA is the overarching regulatory body and if there's any complaint that comes out of this process then potentially we might be required to hear that in some dispute resolution process. You can listen to the full interview with SFA president Rod Petrie on Sportsound on Saturday, 2 May from 14:00 BST on BBC Radio Scotland.
While PSG struggled against Amiens, needing to rise from 0-3 down to draw 4-4, Dortmund had a field day, battering Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0. Dortmund’s win saw then end a run of two losses where they conceded heavily. Dortmund have seen each of their last six matches end in over 2. They have three straight home wins and in the Champions League, Dortmund have four wins in the last 11 – not a very strong run in Europe there.
I think doubts might have started to creep in. Against Real Madrid the previous season we weren't expected to win. But it would have been worse if we'd lost to Spurs and it might have been a blow too many for this project. Liverpool go eight clear and never look back Liverpool 3-1 Man City - 10 November 2019Liverpool ended up missing out on the Premier League title in 2018-19 because of a 2-1 defeat by Manchester City on 3 January 2019.
However, Spanish Football Federation chief Luis Rubiales oversaw a dramatic shake-up in November, striking a three-year deal to play the tournament in Saudi Arabia - a move which has angered human rights groups, as well as local supporters. Real and Valencia meet in the first semi-final in Jeddah on Wednesday before Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid 24 hours later for a place in Sunday's final.
Liverpool marked their first home game since becoming Premier League champions with victory, scoring twice in the second half to see off a stubborn Aston Villa. The Reds, who were beaten by Manchester City 4-0 on Thursday, were far from their best with the opening goal coming from just their second shot on target, Sadio Mane lashing Naby Keita's cross in via the underside of the crossbar. Until then Villa had looked like earning a precious and unexpected point and had even had chances to go ahead themselves, with Alisson parrying away Anwar El Ghazi's fierce shot early in the second half.
in this match I do not expect a lot of goals first of all because this game is very important to both teams, lech is on fourth place with just 1 point behind pogon on third place so I think none of the teams is going to open and rush in attack and also Pogon is a team which is not scoring a lot of goals on the road and it is not going to be a surprise if they don't score at all tonight especially cause leach is pretty big favorite for the win but lech surely can't score more than two goals
It’s unrealistic right now. We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know, no? If they drop a couple of games, and we win and win … I don’t know. When one team lose one game in the last 53, 54, I’m not optimistic they are going to lose four or five in 10 or 11 games because they are incredibly strong.
Julian Knight, chair of the government's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, welcomed the financial help for smaller clubs but said as the wage cut had not yet been agreed by players, the situation was "not much further along".

Even if the world is on the verge of a real end of the world, the apocalypse will not hinder Belarusian football. While the leading tournaments everywhere went to a forced pause due to quarantine, here football only continues. Let's pay attention to the meeting in the framework of the second round of the First League between the team “Smorgon” and “Wave” from Pinsk. The teams were not equally impressed at the start of the current season. Both opponents did not manage to win, but did not lose. “Smorgon” in the away match broke the world in a duel with “Sputnik” - 1: 1. “Wave” in their field could not break the resistance of “Slonim” and did not even score, but did not miss, and the match ended in a goalless draw.
Chelsea's newest recruit Timo Werner says playing under manager Frank Lampard was the "main" attraction upon deciding to join the club. The Germany striker, 24, started training with the Blues this week after completing a £54m switch from RB Leipzig earlier this summer. We talked a lot about the system, how he [Lampard] wants to play and sees me playing," said Werner. He knows me now a little bit better and it fits very good between us.
I know that Olympiacos in their recent 3 games have not played a game with over 2.5 goals and that may be one of the reasons why the odds for the over bet are so high here but I base my pick on the fact that once Lamia concedes in this fixture as their defense is really not that great compared to the attacking quality that Olympiacos has at its disposal they should open up and try to score as so far this season Lamia is undefeated at home.
This is a great honour for me. Thanks to my team mates and brothers, the players of my club as well as the coaching staff and all the national team family, (I) would like to tell them we are all players of the year.

Paderborn's opponents and fellow Bundesliga new-boys Union Berlin will also be confident going into Saturday's fixture. Union have been one of the Bundesliga's best teams in recent weeks. They have earned 12 points over their last six games. Only RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach have earned more points, in that time.
With some players facing eviction from their homes, Rachier says he has pleaded with landlords to show patience. I told the landlords that rent arrears are attributable to the salaries we haven't paid the players for reasons already in the public domain, and that they will pay when they get the money. Gor Mahia were declared champions in late April after the season was ended prematurely and there are concerns their financial state may affect their ability to represent Kenya in next season's African Champions League.
I don't like replays'Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is unhappy the replay is eating into his side's winter break although he does not plan to follow the lead of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. Klopp opted to field a team of youngsters for his club's replay with Shrewsbury on Tuesday. It's not the best but we have to accept it," added Hasenhuttl. For us it's not as hard as teams playing in the Champions League and continuing playing three games a week all season.

FRIDAY’S BIG STORIES Tottenham and Arsenal both totally turd at football Tottenham's mini-revival under Jose Mourinho was brought to an abrupt end against a - by any measure - absolutely awful Manchester United side on Wednesday while Arsenal did the whole 'hold my beer' nonsense and took a 2-1 pasting off of Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates on Thursday night.
Slavia come into this game fresh from a 3-2 win at bottom-of-the-table Belshina. They weren't expecting that when 2-0 down after just 24 minutes.

But could things have turned out differently?"I sat down with Kevin Keegan and Sir Alex Ferguson on the same day in a house in Cheshire," Shearer told Gary Lineker. I saw Keegan in the morning and talks went really, really well. Then Kevin left and the Manchester United contingent came in, which was Sir Alex. His first question was 'am I seeing you first or second?' I told him 'second' and his words were 'well I have no chance then'.

We think Montpellier have the capability to take points off of PSG here. La Paillade have just been so imperious at home recently with teams of a similar stature to Paris like Lyon (1-0) and Monaco (3-1) being brushed aside in the process. Montpellier have a very good record at the Stade de la Mosson against PSG as they have won two and drawn one of their last three home matches against the champions and as a result we see the hosts getting something out of this game.
Subs: Neymar 6, Sarabia 8, Draxler 6. KEY STATS Madrid are in the knockout stage for the 23rd consecutive season. Benzema’s goals were the first that PSG had conceded in the Champions League this season. Only Raul, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored more Champions League goals that Benzema.

Praise be! We have another football documentary to watch! At this stage, we’re so football starved that we’d take a fly-on-the-wall doc from the Dog and Duck Sunday league team. Thankfully, we don’t have to resort to that just yet - because there’s a new film coming on 23 April, all about Andres Iniesta. As well as giving us the chance to look back on Iniesta’s glory days and learn about his background, Andres Iniesta: The Unexpected Hero gives an insight into his family’s new life in Japan, where he now plays with J1 League team Vissel Kobe.
We are backing Brentford Draw No Bet here, given Wednesday’s poor record against the top two-thirds of the division. Meanwhile, the Bees have conceded less than a goal per game this term, while the Owls have seen under 2.5 goals in 78% of their home league games. We expect a low-scoring away victory, so we’ve backed a 2-0 win for Brentford.
Sheringham looked up, trying to comprehend the vastness of the stadium, the occasion and what he had just done. As he did so, Schmeichel ran back to his goal. When he got there he started breathing demonstratively in an attempt to focus and get his pulse down. He needn’t have bothered. He’d already had his last touch of the ball as a Manchester United player.
And Lampard has long acknowledged the Portuguese boss' lasting influence on his career. The detail he and others brought to Chelsea was so forward-thinking at the time," Lampard told Lineker. Every training session had immense detail and was planned and structured so that you'd know what you were doing from the start. I don't think that was so evident for me before that, it was more you'd turn up for training and it would just happen.
Leicester's impressive season continued with a dominant win at Newcastle that keeps them second and inflicts a third straight defeat on Steve Bruce's side, who played almost the whole second half with 10 men following a string of injuries. The Foxes, without the division's leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy for the second successive game, took the lead through Ayoze Perez, who kept his cool to finish well against his former side after being gifted possession by a horror pass from Florian Lejeune.
