Tatung is the reigning Champion of the league, but they have lost in the first game to the main rival Taipower. Therefore, Taitung should push to follow the leader now, not allowing some weaker performances recently.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in four of Union's last five Bundesliga games. We feel that this fixture is unlikely to produce very many goals. We are backing under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
Imagine Liverpool without Salah and Mane for four months. We are improving in some aspects even without these players. This is a team that couldn't win an away match in the Premier League when I arrived. For one year it couldn't cope with certain matches and certain atmospheres and certain styles of play. Our results away are not phenomenal but we have three victories and three draws. There are things that are very difficult to change, especially the mentality, but I loved their mentality [against Burnley].
Air Source was create in the previous season, as new team with quite good and experienced players from other Taiwan clubs, They did not play bad, but having favorites for the rivals, there was hard job to make a lot of there. Team won one point, and few other good resist to the top rivals. They are facing bottom placed rival in the competition, which is having all three losing match.
However, the hosts have been improving their form for a while, with their last four games at the Den seeing them score twice. They’re slowly turning this ground into a fortress, with just one home loss in eight here. That’s given them the fifth-best home record, so they should expect to cruise by Wigan.
I think particularly now, as a parent, it starts to make you look a bit more to the future at what kind of world we are going to hand over to the next generation. There's been a lot of time to think - and you can also have too much time to think, and that's also what worries me. He is in the 'yes to crowd noise' campWilliam says he really missed football during its hiatus. I was trying to pretend I didn't care too much it wasn't around," he says.
Worse than that, Simeone’s team are suffering something of an identity crisis. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six outings, but are also struggling for firepower in the attacking third. Atleti just can’t get going at the moment. This was another meek showing. MAN OF THE MATCH Paolo Dybala (Juventus): The turnaround in Dybala’s fortunes since the summer has been remarkable and this was another demonstration of why the Argentine has become so important to Juventus.
Paris FC vs. AS Saint-Étienne - Watch Live Paris FC vs. AS Saint-Étienne.
For me, this is match who will bring few goals tonight in Dutch Cup and in this moment, I think that, at least three, are more than ok and real option. Feyenoord is of course, huge favorite and team who in this moment can beat almost all rivals in this country. They are in excellent form and they are easy scored almost on average three goals in few last weeks, against all rivals. NAC Breda is team who is also in good form, but they are team from second division and they are just not have chances in this duel.
Angers started the season in such fine form with wins coming out their ears against Saint-Étienne, Dijon, Toulouse and Metz but that momentum has halted in recent weeks as they are now on a run of three consecutive defeats. They were poor again last week as they lost 2-1 to Rennes, creating absolutely nothing under Rachid Alioui's consolation goal in the 91st minute. The wind has very much been taken from Angers' sails as they have slumped to defeat after defeat after defeat, conceding seven and scoring just two in return.
City drew 2-2 at Newcastle United on Saturday, leaving the champions 11 points adrift of leaders Liverpool. The result comes after defeat by Liverpool and victory over Chelsea in the Premier League and a pair of draws in the Champions League. You have to see how the players run, how far, how they try and the body language.
Things have gone well at home of late. Monaco have won each of their last six at home, scoring no less than 17 goals in the process, notching at least twice in five of those six victories. At the other end of proceedings, they've been just so-so, though they do come into this match having kept back-to-back clean sheets at Stade Louis II.

Getafe's best ever finish is fifth, achieved last season under BordalasGetafe rank joint 14th in terms of average shots per game in La Liga (10. But their real strength comes from being a tremendous unit who depend more on the collective than any one star. They have conceded just 20 goals all season. Only Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have let in fewer.
That victory ended a run of 10 consecutive league games without one, and it was just their 3rd win of the season so far. They have lost a massive 11 of their 18 games so far, and 2 of their 3 wins have come against bottom of the table Mariners.
They rode a little bit of luck in the second half. When there were 10 minutes left, the West Ham fans would have been thinking 'that is an absolute eternity'. There are some teams where you think you're running out of time but you don't think that at Anfield anymore. Even a minute feels like an eternity.
Now with three wins and a draw from their past five matches, it looks as though the Watford boss might be able to recreate a second great escape after he led Leicester City to survival at the end of the 2014-15 season. The Hornets are now far more positive in their play, helped by returning striker Troy Deeney, who has scored three goals in his past four games.

We’re going to try to be in the market to see options that can strengthen the team,” Arteta said. My obligation is to give my opinion and see if there are things we can improve. Obviously we have some bad injuries, like Calum a few days ago, and that’s going to change our plans at the back but the reality at the moment is that we are not going to be able to do much.

Schalke have only lost one of their last eight matches against Wolfsburg and both teams have scored in four of the pairs’ last six encounters. The hosts have only lost two of their last six matches while the visitors have only lost one of their last six matches, so you can start to see why we have backed Schalke with a double chance bet.
Here we go with very interesting match between Ruh Brest and Horodeya in Belarus. Guests are in little better shape in this season and they are slight favorites in this game and I think that today will be very offensive match between these both teams . Anyway, both teams are really poor in offense so I don't expect much goals today. I think there won't be any goals in this match. I hope that this match will end 4:1 for Ruh BREST. The home team are in very good shape, in the last 5 matches they lost only one time. Good luck
However, Hearts forward Steven MacLean accepted a two-match suspension last November for grabbing Eboue Kouassi between the legs in the League Cup semi-final loss to Celtic. It remains unclear whether any further charges will arise from the derby at Celtic Park. Morelos was pictured drawing a hand across his neck in an apparent throat-cutting gesture as he left the field following his dismissal. Celtic said they were "aware of the gestures made by the player towards Celtic supporters".
Bayern Munich have only lost one of their six home league games. Bayer Leverkusen have just one win in their last six league matches.

Hourihane nudged the stationary ball to Grealish, who stopped it and, from the better angle, the Republic of Ireland midfielder curled the ball around the wall and into the net. The lively Grealish, back after missing three games with a calf injury, saw a fine run crudely ended when he was brought down by a clumsy Federico Fernandez challenge, again just outside the 18-yard box. This time Hourihane - back in the Villa side after being an unused substitute in the loss to Wolves - was the provider as his excellent delivery was steered in by El Ghazi.
Backing against Liverpool this season hasn't been a very rewarding betting tactic this season. Their game against Wolves could be another easy victory for them. But there are moments in games when they seem vulnerable; as if their energy is waning. With so many games under their belts this season, there's a lot of miles on Liverpool's clock. A breakdown is inevitable. We think that this could be the match that reminds us that Liverpool players are human after all. Back Wolves double chance.
Media playback is not supported on this device Curtis Jones, Mason Greenwood & Bukayo Saka star for Liverpool, Man Utd & Arsenal Arsenal got a good win at Wolves, thanks to a lovely finish by Bukayo Saka and it was a great game to watch. The outcome could have been very different, though, so I don't feel as if the Gunners are on a charge towards the top four, or anything like that. Lawro's prediction: 1-2Joel's prediction: The race for fifth will become so exciting if City do end up being banned from the Champions League and we find out before the last couple of weeks of the season.
Two teams from the opposite sides in the league, and there should be away side as firm favorite for victory and three points. However, Slavia sometimes know to make issues to the top teams, especially on their home ground in Mozyr. They already push FC Minsk to duels with less than 1.5 goal scored in the previous year. Three of recent six were with the low results, and this one could end up to two goals scored.
Espanyol have improved a lot in their recent matches and will go to this game with great hope. However, they have struggled against La Liga opposition, and here they will meet a strong side too. They have not been the best in attack, even though they have managed to score in 1 of their last 15; perhaps their main undoing has been in defence. This may come to haunt them, as they play one of the best scoring sides in La Liga. Real Sociedad have not kept many clean sheets in the Copa del Rey though and based on this, we will go for a 2-1 win for Real Sociedad.

At present, the test does not seem to be fit for purpose to protect football clubs in the future. If English football isn't able to act, the government should review the need for a statutory owners' and directors' test to ensure it is fit for purpose and protects clubs in the future. Wigan's fans need to generate 10,000 signatures to force the government to respond to their petition and 100,000 to stand a chance of a parliamentary debate.

His strike partner McBurnie had scored United's second with a powerful header before half-time and substitute Lys Mousset should have made it four when he raced clear but clipped past the post. This was United's 10th home win of an outstanding season and Wilder's side are a good bet to secure European football at Bramall Lane for the first time in their 130-year history. No defence for Chelsea Chelsea had 76% possession in this match but lost 3-0 - the biggest margin of defeat for a team to hold as much as 76% possession in a Premier League game since 2003-04Chelsea had plundered 36 goals in their 17 matches away from Stamford Bridge in 2019/20 and Christian Pulisic, Willian and Olivier Giroud were in excellent form coming into this game.
I am still in contact with a few of the players and we have a few reunions. Howard: "I did see Elleray again a few years later, where I was at an FA Cup semi-final and he was assessing the referees. I went and spoke to him and there was actually a piece in the matchday programme from our 1997 game. I told him I was the player that had hit the shot and he was very apologetic. Mercer: "Everyone loves an underdog and people love the stories of a little club taking on the big boys.
Ireland have won five of their last six games against the Scots in this championship and last year went to Murrayfield and won 22-13. They confirmed their superiority over them with a 27-3 win in the pool stages of the World Cup. All didn't go well for Ireland in that tournament with a loss to Japan in the pool stages and a quarter final hammering by New Zealand.
The Hornets recorded a 1-1 home draw on the last day of the game against Leicester. Despite the two-point drop, the fact that the home team hit the tie in the 90th and 3rd minute really boosted their confidence. Meanwhile, the Saints recorded a 0-3 road victory last week over Norwich. The three goals came in the second period. The Saints used their game against the worst team in the competition to the full. Southampton have only made four draws so far, but that means nothing and it is time for a draw again. Watford with a very good defense will not allow much here and it will be a rather boring game.
Roma come into this one pushing for the Champions League on two fronts. They want a return to Serie A’s top four, while they must see the Europa League as an option. The winners of this competition get a spot in next season’s Champions League, so Roma may see it as a useful backup – as long as they can make it out of the group. However, their recent record might make that tricky.
Only 2,000 of them have been able to be tested for coronavirus. This is not right, these people are putting their lives on the line to try and save lives. He is coming out and deflecting on to the easy targets, the footballers, and that doesn’t sit right with me. Billie Jean King Tennis Center being turned into temporary hospital American tennis legend Billie Jean King has shared a snap of the USA's National Tennis Center - named after her and homed of the US Open - being turned into a hospital to help stricken New Yorkers, with the city the worst-hit part of America and a rapidly-developing new epicentre of the pandemic.
They have scored some important late goals in that time too, which is a useful habit to have, but I just have a feeling that their run will end here. Brighton will cause them some problems - the Seagulls will have to work hard to hold out though. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Andy's prediction: 0-1MONDAY West Ham v Arsenal (20:00 GMT)Both of these teams have got problems, but Arsenal's away form is probably the biggest issue here.

La Fama and Britannia will face to face in the 3rd matchday in Honor League, Aruba. The teams finished each other on last season. La Fama started well the new season, they collected 3 pts out of 6, while Britannia are continuing their winless period. I expect a high score match because both sides conceded at least 2-2 goals on the previous games of the new season. LA Fama received 3 goals on the opening round at away, but failed at home vs the champion by 2 goals. Britannia played a 6 goals draw in the last week after they failed to score a goal in the beginning. My tip: 1.
Brazil's fifth World Cup final win was not simply about Ronaldo's two second-half goals amid Yokohama's space-age architecture - it was a story of redemption. Ronaldo was one of the great players of his generation but the striker's career had been blighted by serious injury and the mystery surrounding his absence from the final at France 98. He was off, then on the teamsheet for that final, which ended in a 3-0 victory for France, with talk of a seizure then injury as conspiracy theories ran rampant in Paris.
The defensive side of Liverpool’s game has improved recently too, seeing them keep a clean sheet in each of their last four league games. Considering Sheffield United’s struggles at the Etihad we think a clean sheet is on the cards for the hosts, but with the visitors yet to concede more than two goals in an away game we think a conservative 2-0 correct score prediction is a good choice.
Norwich City have not had a good season, and it has been worse away from home. They have produced just one away win and lost 14 and they go to this clash on the back of 10 straight losses, home and away. The team has conceded two or more goals in six of the 10 matches and failed to score in eight of those. Meanwhile, City have the second best home form this season and will be facing a side that has failed to score in five of their last six away league matches. City have averaged 3.8 goals at home in their last five league matches at the Etihad, and conceded just once. Based on this, and Norwich’s poor run we are backing this game to yield over 3.5 goals and a correct score bet of City winning 4-0 could pass.
