But the point of the FA is to protect the sport and the millions of boys and girls around the country who play it - not encourage gambling. Players, managers and owners of clubs are excluded from engaging with betting companies, so why should the FA be any different? The government allowing members of the public to gamble is one thing, but for a governing body to act in this way is entirely different.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams are struggling for wins but have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis of late, all of which points towards the pair playing out a score draw on Saturday which doesn’t do either side a lot of good as they look to distance themselves from the drop zone.
They are fourth in the Premier League and host Southampton who are 17th, having climbed out of the bottom three last weekend.

Except for the opening two games played by Khimik I lost always when they played betting that they lose big away at both Sputnik and Arsenal they only lost 1-0 those games and while last round I switched sides and took under 3 goals at Volna Pinsk the score was 2-2 quite fast and after that Khimik received two red cards and lost the game with 4-2 in the end so no less than 6 goals scored and on the good side for this bet is that Khimik finally scored even 2 goals last game as I watched them against both Sputnik and Arsenal and came quite close to scoring even in those games.

In their last 3 matches, Red star have not a single one, while the hosts won 1 match and drawn 2 matches. I expect another draw from them here in this match. Good luck.

Mourinho, appointed in November, has a three-year contract and believes in that time he can deliver Spurs' first silverware since the 2008 League Cup. Spurs host Arsenal in Sunday's north London derby with both sides competing to earn a Europa League spot. How long it took for Jurgen [Klopp] and Liverpool?" said Mourinho.

St Mirren have conceded over 2.5 goals in just three of their 19 Scottish Premiership games this season. We feel that they may be good enough at the back to at least keep the scoreline down in Thursday's game.
Unfortunately for fans heading to Brunton Park on Boxing Day, we do not see this one being a classic and think goals will come at a bit of premium. The lack of goalscoring threat by the hosts means that they are unlikely to put their opposition to the sword and, given that four of Bradford’s last five league matches have finished with less than 2.5 goals scored, we think backing the same result again is the way to go.
Media playback is not supported on this device Hearts owner Ann Budge speaking in March about the prospect of the season finishing early A huge selling point of Scottish football's commercial rights is that you are pretty much guaranteed four Old Firm matches. Broaden the top flight, and either that number gets diluted or teams will be playing more games than now but with less time to do so. Will broadcasters Sky Sports still be willing to pay the £160m, or at least a fifth of the five-year deal, if there are fewer Celtic v Rangers games on the box? Has the question been posed to not just them but other broadcasters to see if a Premiership rejig would be sufferable, even for one season, to get a resolution done?And, would clubs in the top flight be content with a drop in revenue from potentially fewer home games against the big two? Another key point when you consider sides similar to St Johnstone, who recently decided to give three out of four McDiarmid Park stands to travelling Old Firm fans to boost their coffers.
The pandemic has brought global sport to a virtual standstill with events postponed, suspended or cancelled. The Premier League season has been suspended until at least April 30 after positive cases in several teams deemed it necessary.

The three-time winners are also keen to ensure they go beyond the quarter-final for the first time since they last lifted the trophy in 2000. We want to challenge for trophies," said manager Brendan Rodgers. In the last couple of years, the team has just fallen short at the quarter-final stage, so we're looking to make the semi and go there and be ready to work for it. It's not easy because there are so many teams that want to do it as well, but for us, our mindset and mentality is to try to get into the semi-final.
Arsenal have done well in their last four matches, and have seen a significant rise in the standings too courtesy of three straight league wins. It has been a good period for the Gunners and getting to play at home against Leicester should excite them, having registered their best results at home this season. This fixture has favored the home team in recent times, and Arsenal will hope luck is also on their side. They have been scoring consistently and have had a good break in defence. On the other hand, though Leicester beat Palace comfortably, they have not been very convincing and their away record in recent matches is not so great. Arsenal have six wins in the last eight home matches and are unbeaten in six home league matches, winning five. Eight of their 12 wins this season have come at home and they have failed to score in just one of the 16 home league matches. With their recent form, Leicester head to London as underdogs and a bet on Arsenal winning this could pass.
Real Betis have one loss in their last seven home league matches. Athletic Bilbao have only won one of their last seven away league games.

Tranmere have struggled on the road, there's no two ways about that, but at home, Rovers have performed respectably, winning three, drawing four and losing three of their ten matches on their own patch. Last time out at this venue, Mellon's men recorded a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon, while they recorded a reasonable draw against Accrington prior to that.

The formbook points to a home win in this match. The Kings are longing to end their play-off drought and their improved November has given them a chance of doing that. Home form is good and a win here will give them a chance of getting in the top eight. It's not such good news for the Bulls who are struggling at present.
