Bournemouth v Leicester (19:00 BST)I know Bournemouth kept a clean sheet against Spurs on Thursday but I don't see that as a turning point for them. Leicester have got their mojo back in attack, so the Foxes have to be big favourites here. Having Jamie Vardy back in the goals is huge for Brendan Rodgers in terms of making the top four - and Vardy is also going for the Golden Boot as the Premier League's top scorer, so he has plenty to play for.
Down in 12th, they have a tough task on their hands as they host second placed Benfica. The home side may be in poor form but have no real relegation problems. They are a comfortable 11 points above the relegation zone but 12 behind the final Europa League qualifying position. Setubal only have two points from their last five league games and are really struggling at home.
The Seagulls' stubborn defence was then pushed to the limit by waves of Burnley attacks. It seemed the home side had equalised again when Jay Rodriguez headed in - but a video assistant referee check ruled that team-mate Wood was offside. Despite defeat Sean Dyche has led his modestly-priced squad to a second top-10 finish in five Premier League seasons. Brighton's defence keeps Burnley at bayBrighton's style of play may have changed under manager Graham Potter, but one thing that has remained constant from the Chris Hughton era is the miserly defence.

Danny Ings scored his 13th goal in 15 games as Southampton came from one down to draw 1-1 at home with Crystal Palace, with the help of a big VAR call.

Southampton's Pierre Hojbjerg literally had the shirt torn from his back in one early altercation.

He is an incredibly talented artist who is becoming very famous. One of the many pictures I have up on the wall is a painting someone did of me a few years ago when I was Blackpool manager. After that I went on and did the Blackpool Tower myself while I was really just learning. It was actually in Blackpool that a friend of ours, who had paintings up at a local pub, said to both Kim and I that we should have a go.

The Croatian top-flight is also poised to resume - without spectators - with cup ties to take place on 30 May, followed by league action on 6 June, pending government approval.
Start of the new season, and there should be one close fight between rivals of the mid of the table. They often had under 2.5 goals per their matches in the previous seasons, and now should be able to make the same one, since teams were not playing for long time. After the virus break, it would be hard to get fast into the playing form, especially for the offensives players.
PSV, the hosts in this game, are placed fourth with 45 points and Feyenoord third on 46 points. With three straight wins, PSV will be very confident going to this game and the fact that they have done well at home this season will further push them as they seek to rise above the visitors. PSV have lost one, drawn two and won eight of their 11 league matches at home this season.
Referee Nick Walsh produced the red card for Hamilton and, to compound Accies' misery, Edouard swept the free-kick over the wall and past Luke Southwood from the edge of the box. From that point onwards, the one-way traffic towards the Accies goal was relentless. The home side's defending, though, was immense.

Leicester have struggled when playing the very best teams in the Premier League. The reverse fixture saw them lose 3-1 at City and that was swiftly followed by a 4-0 home drubbing by Liverpool. They rallied with two straight league wins but since then have just one victory in their last five matches.
Pohang Steelers have had a good start to life in the K-League with a win and a draw in the opening two games they were impressive in their last home game scoring twice against Busan and they should be among the goals again in this game, away side Seoul finished in top 3 in last season in the K-League with third best offense and although they have started this season slowly should create chances today. The last two head to head matches between Pohang Steelers and Seoul produced at least three goals and I believe in the same thing here.
The 2016 Premier League champions are also interested in Liverpool's Adam Lallana who will available as a free agent this summer. Paper Round's view: It's always good to plan ahead. Leicester's transfer policy over the past few years has been one of the best in the Premier League. The Foxes know Chilwell is likely to leave the King Power stadium this summer, but they won't let him go for cheap.
January sees many of us count the cost of Christmas. There are those who have spent too much, others who have eaten too much and then there are Premier League bosses generally frustrated by playing too much. Some managers felt four games in 12 days was "absurd" and one club has been hit by injuries which look set to keep some of their players out for around a combined 500 days. In all, 74 players picked up anything from a niggle to a serious injury as most teams played four fixtures between 21 December and 2 January.
On Friday, the SPFL released a statement declaring three unnamed clubs still had not voted, including one from each section. Crucially, one in the Championship - which we now know to be Dundee - with the entire house of cards balanced finely on the end of the Dens Park fax machine. Whether Dundee are in an extremely vulnerable position or an incredibly powerful one depends on personal preference. On one hand, clubs across the country desperate for money now know who to target for the hold up in the season being called and cash being allowed to flow from the £9m SPFL TV honey pot.
Whereupon he was hustled out of there by a steward. The quietly protesting Renaud appealed to the steward's sense of fair play, his spirit of football. The response was not exactly the stuff of the United Nations. There's no spirit of football! Get out! You're a disgrace!" In that moment, Renaud learned a valuable lesson. Every second football person in this magnificent country is completely off their rocker.
The win, less than 48 hours after a 4-0 home drubbing by the Merseysiders, lifted Leicester four points above third-placed Manchester City and revealed the depth in their squad.

Champions Liverpool ended their campaign in style by coming from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1, while runners-up Manchester City thrashed bottom side Norwich 5-0. Manchester United beat Leicester 2-0 to clinch a Champions League place and deny the Foxes a spot in Europe's elite club competition next season, with Chelsea finishing fourth after a 2-0 win over Wolves.

After a sixth-place finish last term, you certainly wouldn't have predicted Hearts to be where they are before the season started. Rock bottom with just 12 points to their name after 19 matches, The Jambos have been utterly atrocious up to this point and are at real risk of suffering relegation.
31% of Oldham’s home games and Carlisle’s away games have featured exactly 2 goals, which ties in well with our prediction for a final score of 1-1 on Saturday. A majority of Oldham’s wins this season (4) have been obtained with a 1-goal margin so if the hosts do go on to claim all three points on Saturday it is likely to be via the odd goal.
It's poor Start from Smolevichi this season as they are currently Winless in The Vysshaya Liga ( 3W , 3D ) .

For me it's strange to play the Super Cup with two guest teams. It's clear that these games are exciting for the crowd but from a sporting point of view there is only one league champion and there is only one cup winner," added the coach. It was always the first trophy of the season between the league and cup winners, I thought that format was fine but it has been changed.

Boulogne right now seems to be unstoppable,they won 4 in a row they are on fifth position on the table and I really don't know how Bastia borgo could stop them from winning this game tonight,especially Bastia is not in that good shape with just 1 win on last 5 games played, also Bastia defense at home is pretty bad and on the other side Boulogne has terrific defense on the road so even one goal could be enough for Boulogne to win this game but I decided to go with small odd because I don't want to lose full stake in the case of draw
