We’re confident that a double chance bet on Swindon is the best way to bet on Saturday’s game and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors have outplayed their hosts in all departments so far this season but both teams have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1.
The experiment has had mixed results, with the team certainly having more of the ball but looking less effective. Sunday's defeat in Madrid was their third loss in 11 games under Setien and now Real are in the driving seat in the title race, with Sunday's trip to Real Betis up next for Zinedine Zidane's side.
The 33-year-old French international was close to leaving Chelsea in the winter but no move materialised, and he is free to enter negotiations with clubs outside England. However, he may choose to stay in London and the Premier League after interest from Tottenham. Paper Round’s view: Giroud’s problems at Chelsea are that he did not feature for Frank Lampard as he is well down the pecking order.
But they are not the only family members. Brothers Roy and Miguel Kayara also play in the team. Roy, 29, was on trial at Sheffield United before the 2013-14 season, taking part in three friendly games during a tour of Scotland, playing in the same side as England and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire. But being part of the same family isn't the only thing that brings Hienghene Sport's players together.
Former Everton midfielder Li was appointed as successor to Marcello Lippi on Friday, six weeks after the Italian quit the role following a defeat to Syria in qualifying for Qatar 2022. That defeat left China's chances of progressing to their first World Cup finals in 20 years in jeopardy. In the process of recruiting, the first and most important thing is that we want to find people who want to play soccer for our nation, who have the spirit of selfless dedication, who want to sacrifice everything for the national team," said Li at his official unveiling on Sunday.
Patrick Vieira is the "right man" to become Arsenal boss, according to former Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman. Arsenal are starting their search for a new manager for only the second time in 23 years after sacking Unai Emery. And ex-Gunners captain Vieira, now manager of Nice, could be a candidate. I am sure Arsenal fans would love Patrick to come back to the club. Knowing Patrick, I think he would be the right man," Seaman told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily Podcast.
Lokomotiv's Argentine centre-back Lucas Masoero told his country's Mendoza newspaper Diario Uno on Friday that the squad were back in training. Today we started training (in groups) of four players with a coach," said Masoero. We changed clothes in the dressing room, staying away from each other. Lokomotiv, the 2004 Bulgarian champions, were not immediately available for comment when contacted by Reuters.
Lugano v Copenhagen predictions for Thursday’s match in the Europa League. In a relatively tight Group B, both sides could still qualify and it’s all to play for in Switzerland. Read on for all our free Europa League predictions and betting tips.
Claude Puel was brought in to do two things: sure up the defence and get back to winning matches. He has so far managed to do one of those things. Saint-Étienne have won four of the seven matches under the new coach but they have done so by virtue of their incredible attacking talents like Denis Bouanga and Wahbi Khazri as opposed to their solid defence. They have scored eight goals in their last four matches but have also conceded six times in this period so the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard is definitely the place for the neutral at the moment.

Using the relative strengths of teams and 100,000 simulations, the Euro Club Index football ranking has provided BBC Sport with a scientific prediction of the remainder of the campaign, giving a final ranking and clubs' percentage chances of finishing in certain positions. Some of the outcomes won't shock you, but there are a few interesting possibilities. Fever and burning eyes' - one of Italy's first footballers with coronavirusSurprise, surpriseAs long as this season is not declared null and void, as West Ham vice-chairwoman Karren Brady recently suggested should happen, Liverpool are going to be Premier League champions.
Tomlinson admits there are concerns but adds: "It is a billionaire's playground at that level and that is nothing we can bear any degree of responsibility for in terms of ownership. In an ideal world from my perspective, Newcastle United would be owned by the people, by the fans of the city as a community asset. We've seen reports like this before but it seems like we are further down the line this time in terms of ending that 13-year tenure of Mike Ashley which everyone wants to see the end of.
He may have won a host of trophies, scored more than 100 career goals and earned 56 England caps, but Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling will not be satisfied until he adds something else to his collection - a Lionel Messi shirt. Despite already possessing dazzling array of football shirts, one belonging to the Barcelona star has proven elusive. There's only one that I really want and that's a Messi shirt,” Sterling said before his latest ePremier League Invitational tournament match against Everton’s Andre Gomes.
The 20-year-old player has established himself as a first-team option for Jose Mourinho, and talks have accelerated over a new deal, according to the Daily Mail. That should see his wages rise from £1,000 a week to a contract worth at least 15 times that, with the chance to earn £20,000 a week if all incentives are met.
I hold him in high regard but I still have to make a decision for the club and nothing's done yet. Everyone's talking about it so I'm not going to beat around the bush; I think his agent has spoken to the club. But until we decide it's the right thing then it's not done. Giroud has not played for Chelsea since the end of the November, with Tammy Abraham cementing his place as the club's first-choice striker since Lampard's arrival.

Rangers have recently had 4 wins and 1 draw. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 3 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 5 and lose none of their last 5 league games scoring 18 goal and conceding 1 goal.
Agrotikos Asteras will host Edessaikos for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. They have an effective attack. Also, Edessaikos are in better shape in the last matches. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches - 4 wins and 1 draw. However, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. Of course, they have a very difficult task. In any case, A. Asteras is really better team at home. They probably will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. My pick - A. Asteras to win.
In Italy, Ascoli and Cremonese are expected to meet today for a Serie B match which will be held at Cino e Lillo Del Duca stadium, Ascoli Piceno city. The teams lie almost close to one another in the table where Ascoli takes position 15 with 32 points after playing 27 matches while Cremonese takes position 17 with 30 points after playing 27 matches. There is only a point difference of 2 points.
We have to work harder, get dirty when we need to and not rest on our laurels. The result topped off a superb week for Verona, who held AC Milan and Lazio to away draws before defeating Juve, lifting Ivan Juric's side into sixth place and Europa League contention. NAPOLI, PARMA FUME OVER VAR There was more Video Assistant Referee (VAR) controversy on Sunday, as Napoli and Parma raged at not being awarded penalties in their defeats by Lecce and Lazio, respectively.
The vote was taken at a Premier League shareholders' meeting in London on Thursday. The transfer window was moved to the start of August in England following complaints from clubs and managers that keeping it open after the start of the season was disruptive. It was hoped major leagues across Europe would also bring their own windows forward. However, that did not happen and a number of clubs found themselves in the uncomfortable position of knowing their players were in demand across the continent but unable to bring in replacements for anyone they wanted to sell.

Let's continue with matches from Dutch second league and this is next duel where I will bet on goals, what is for me very real, but we will see what will happen. So, Jong PSV is similar like Ajax, very talented team who is last time beat this rival just 2-0, and in the same time in last round, they are lost even 1-4. They are in this moment under pressure and they just need to win. NAC Breda, on the other side is team who is lost against Jong Ajax in previous round at home 1-2. Over is fine option here.
There isn’t much argument for Central Coast Mariners performing this weekend and claiming the win and we’re of the same opinion with Melbourne Victory looking like the relatively easy victors in this one. There have been plenty of goals in matches featuring these two recently though, with both sides beating the 2.5 goal line 60% of the time in recent weeks and we’re backing the goal line to be beaten once more in this one.
Back on her feet, Kerr saw a low, close-range effort from a tight angle kept out by a good save from replacement keeper Laws, before showing her class with a clever backheel into England's path for the equaliser. Kerr was sent flying by Reading goalkeeper Moloney, who was sent off for the challengeAfter the break, Kerr was played clean through by England and had time to slot past Laws, but could not beat the keeper - but, from the clearance, the ball was eventually expertly lobbed into the corner from range by Norway's Reiten.
AEK Athens is perhaps not as strong as in the previous two seasons even winning the title once here in Greece I believe it was 2 seasons ago as they did play in the Champions League group stage, now they are 3rd place a long distance from the top two clubs, but big favorites to be winning all 3 points here as they won their last two games against Panetolikos at home with 4-0 in the end and also won at the start of this season with 1-0 away from home at this opponent.
Griezmann might have been wondering if the move had been worth it as he has faced constant criticism for a slow start at the Camp Nou, scoring five times in 17 appearances. He started on the bench in Wednesday's Champions League match with Borussia Dortmund but an injury to Ousmane Dembele presented him with a chance which he duly took.
And should he end up on the sidelines of the Juventus Stadium, there will of course be fascination concerning his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, given his championing of Lionel Messi. You would not totally rule out Barcelona, given the uncertainty of their current leadership, also making a pitch for Guardiola and despite the extra stress he felt leading his home side, the chance to link up with Messi once more may prove attractive.
Girona are coming in this game without being able to win in their last 5 games but the good news is that they have only lost one game of their last 10 played and at home 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 games in this venue. Numancia for its part living a bad time losing consecutively 6 games as visitors. But I also think that a bigger victory for the hosts is absolutely not out of the question. Numancia is not necessarily poorer in terms of quality. After all, they could also win the first leg with 2-0. But Girona may prove too strong for the Numancia here.
There is always one thing in your lifetime that hasn’t happened - it happened," he told reporters. So, OK, I have another record, I won one game without possession. They (Chelsea) are an incredible team with Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, so it can happen," he said. Chelsea's midfield was indeed impressive but Guardiola teams have regularly played against top-quality mid-fields and still dominated the ball.
He deserves to take his place among the legends of Celtic," he said. Odsonne Edouard was Celtic's top goalscorer last season"To come back after Brendan [Rodgers] went to Leicester, he was coming into a totally different set-up, a different philosophy, and he had to win those games from day one. He's done that exceptionally well. Now he's set his sights on European football. Of course that's very important, but if he clinches 10 in a row - which he has a good chance of doing - that would be fantastic.
Sturridge terminates Trabzonspor contract The former England striker, who terminated his contract at Turkish club Trabzonspor earlier on Monday, was first banned for two weeks in July 2019. Sturridge was initially found guilty of two charges of instructing his brother to lay bets on a proposed move to Sevilla, but an appeal lodged by the Football Association proved a further two charges.

We'll be back on Tuesday morning. Mancini: Delay could help Italy at Euro 2020 Italy manager Roberto Mancini likes Italy's chances at next year's Euro 2020 tournament.
Spal has for sure better results at home than in away games for example they played one of their best games this season at home when they hosted Lazio playing really attacking minded and ending up winning the game with 2-1 in the end so I would rate them favorites to win this one but Genoa even drew away at Napoli last round so they will not be that easy to beat while last season this game had just 2 goals scored in it as it ended up in a 1-1 draw in the end and I would take both teams scoring once more.
Brest Malorita are coming from a very high scoring match. In the latest round they have recorded a 3-2 win in the game against Baranovici when playing on the road. They were solid in offense but had problems in defense as well and they also allowed two more goals in the first match of the season against Meliorator.
Hamburger will lock horns with Armenia today as they look to as they look to get back to winning ways after a 2-2 draw last game they have registered one win 2 draws and 2 losses in their last five games and will be hoping to get back to winning ways with a result here.
We feel that this game is likely to be low scoring. Monchengladbach have not been scoring freely in recent weeks. Furthermore, their away goalscoring record has been poor, of late. We feel that they are unlikely to open the floodgates versus a Hertha side who have kept a clean sheet in their last two Bundesliga games.
However, the Blues have failed to pick a single win in the following six games, losing four of them consecutively before picking up two draws in their last couple of ties. They've netted an average of a goal a game in their last six but have a woeful defence that's conceded 16 times in those fixtures.
It means the final games of a City career that encompasses all the honours won during the Sheikh Mansour era will be played behind closed doors. It is unfortunate David is going to finish his last games here without people," said Guardiola. No-one wants it but the situation is what it is. Following on from Yaya Toure, Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart and Vincent Kompany, Silva's exit will mark the departure of another figure from what is destined to go down as a golden era for City, when they emerged as one of the major forces in the English game.

Man of the match: Hans Hateboer (Atalanta) From minute one, the Dutchman was flying. From his work rate up and down the flank, to his attacking output and defensive solidity, it was an all-round mesmerising display from Hateboer, tied in with two predatory finishes that would make strikers stand up and take notice.

Only food businesses, banks and insurance companies, newsstands, tobacconists and health personnel are still authorized to circulate.
