Eddie Howe's side managed 14 shots in total, more than any other away league team at the Etihad during Guardiola's reign. A combination of bad luck and poor finishing means they do not have anything tangible to show for it, at least in terms of points that are so precious to them in their current situation. But there were positives, not least the way they avoided any further damage to their goal difference - something Howe must have feared before the game given City's current form.
The NCAA's "March Madness" basketball tournament, one of the most popular annual sporting events in America, was also cancelled. In soccer, domestic leagues, the Champions League and the pan-continental 2020 European Championship were all in limbo. France, Spain and the Netherlands became the latest nations to suspend all matches.
The visitors played a dream first half, with Streli Mamba scoring twice and Gerrit Holtman also on target as they outpaced the hosts and hit them on the break to leave Dortmund shell-shocked and the home fans jeering the team off at halftime. To make matters worse, Dortmund's top striker Paco Alcacer, making a comeback from a heel injury, had to be taken off before halftime after suffering a knee injury that left him in tears.

The players responded with an excellent display and that system could be deployed again on Wednesday. Zidane has said he likes to regularly vary the formation to make it more difficult for opponents to prepare to play against them, and we can't rule out a surprise selection from either manager. It would be even more surprising, though, if the names of De Jong and Valverde do not feature in the starting XIs.

Its hard to find much between these two teams apart though and, for that reason, we’re predicting a 2-2 scoreline meaning each team leaves with a point.

After a promising start at Ajax, Dick's knee was left "black and blue and the size of a football" after a Cup Winners' Cup tie against Olympiakos. There were doubts over whether he would recover and, although he did return after the best part of a year, his pace was gone, along with the confidence to go into tackles. Between his failing body and the three-foreigner rule, Dick's opportunities were limited and his Ajax career petered out.
I believe in at least three goals in this match from Italian Serie A and I will try that here. Reason is of course fact that this two rivals are playing very offensive and probably will be the same and this time. Of course in the same time, I must said that Cagliari is surely favorite here. Home team is in series of even seven matches in a row without win and in last two matches, they are played 2-2 and 2-4. Cagliari is won in last three matches in Serie A, but I will still bet on goals here.
Germany's Bundesliga will have to wait another week to find out about a possible restart date as the government has delayed a decision over resumption. The league has been suspended since mid-March because of coronavirus. Chancellor Angela Merkel said that any decision on if and when sports activities could resume would now be taken on Wednesday, 6 May. It is absolutely necessary that we remain disciplined and stick to health guidelines," she said.
They lost goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley to serious knee injuries in the same game back in January, with both being ruled out for the season. At the time Heaton was ruled out of going to the then-planned Euro 2020 with England, so presumably he will not be fit until August at the very earliest, while Wesley is now back jogging. However, Villa removed both from their 25-man squad at the end of the January transfer window so they would not be able to play at all as it stands.
The Gunners clinched an overdue 3-1 win at West Ham as they climbed back into the top half of the Premier League.

The Lakers (49-14) were the only team in the conference to have clinched a playoff spot, and they still had 19 regular-season games remaining. I can (hopefully) have some satisfaction on what our team has been able to do this year," James said. Having a first-year coach, first-year system, a whole new coaching staff, I honestly didn't think that we'd be able to come together as fast as we did.
Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County and Birmingham City currently find themselves out of immediate danger in mid-table, but all three have potential disciplinary sanctions from the English Football League hanging over them. If clubs are found to be in breach of league regulations, points deductions could follow. Birmingham were docked nine points last season for breaching profitability and sustainability rules.
Typically, this is the last opposing outfield player, because of the goalkeeper's positioning. Saints boss Hasenhuttl is against the Frenchman's suggestion and believes that doing away with the offside law altogether would be more preferable to more potential VAR controversy. If we change it the way he wants to do it we can stop playing offside because it won't work any more," said the Austrian. It will change the game massively in my opinion.
Their under-23 side beat Pianese 1-0 last Sunday.

But then if you take the example of Dynamo Dresden, and their situation, what happens if we schedule our games in for four or five weeks and then players, as Brighton have had, contract the virus and a whole team has to go down and a whole team has to quarantine. The whole season goes into jeopardy then and the competition can't be fulfilled. I just think it's nigh on impossible to do that. I want to win the league' Richie Wellens has been in charge of Swindon Town since November 2018While Rodman's Rovers are mid-table in League One, Swindon Town are second in League Two, behind leaders Crewe only on goal difference with a game in hand, and their manager, Richie Wellens, says he wants the season to be concluded one way or another.
An interesting game here in South Korean K League. The host team returned in K league 1 following a three-year absence. Gwangju did well in K league 2, with the team earning auto promotion. Team's main goal will be securing first division survival and they will do their best to get something positive in the opener. Seongnam finished bottom half of the table last season. The Magpies are experienced side in K league and they should go for win in this opener. Everyone is finding value in sway team.

Chester and Kings Lynn will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League North. Chester this season have the following results: 14W, 9D and 6L.

Given the efforts of both, this appears to be a gilt-edged opportunity for Kilmarnock to make it four wins in five home games. Specifically, 'Kilmarnock to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' stands out. St. Johnstone's efforts simply haven't matched Kilmarnock's at either end of the pitch. That said, we shouldn't expect the hosts to run riot. Killie have won three of their four recent home games against bottom-half opposition, but they only scored more than twice in one of those three and are yet to score more than three at home. They've kept three clean sheets in five games against bottom-half opponents.
Getty Images Lampard was full of praise for Abraham, who looked sharp after returning from a hip injury, and N'golo Kante who was a commanding presence in midfield.

There are eight to 10 big countries. The margins are really, really fine. If England win their group they could face a last-16 tie in Dublin against Germany, France or holders Portugal -- all of whom are in a tough-looking Group F.

The debates continue to rage as European sport starts another week in lockdown.

Ferretti could have well been a couple of places higher in the league standings as they do possess the quality for at least a 2nd place finishing defeating just a few days ago a strong Esteli side with 1-0 at home and not many clubs can say this Clausura they have kept a clean sheet with Esteli. This while prior to that win they did suffer 3 losses in a row away from home but also had a 7-0 win against Chinandega at home, a great result really biggest win in the league all season long for any club and it was not so long ago either, just 3 rounds ago.

Plenty of people in Liverpool had forgotten they even existed. The grand planMoving to the West Cheshire League, South Liverpool started to do well again, climbing steadily from the third division in 2012 into the top division. But, without floodlights at their North Field home, further progression was impossible. Construction of the nearby Jericho Lane soccer hub changed that. South Liverpool were invited in as a key tenant, played their first matches there in January 2019 and immediately saw the possibilities.
It is something we need to change. We have to alter that culture. Moyes is keen not to get carried away with thoughts of next season. He refused to agree victory against Watford would secure a ninth successive top flight season and, after a difficult start to his second tenure, when he won only two of his first 12 Premier League games, he noted his hair has changed a bit. There are a lot of grey hairs but I don't think anyone would have expected anything else," he said.

Away team is at last position in group with 3 points and home team is at 3rd position with same number of points. away team must to win here to get on 3rd position which lead to Europe league and also to have a chance for 2nd place till end of group phase. Leverkusen have better team and they should win here, they simply must to win. Good luck.
Crystal Palace could stay unbeaten in this match. The main reason for my pick is connect with the actual situation in both teams. The Eagles boss Roy Hodgson has no issues with injuries. He has all important players available, including Wilfried Zaha and Joel Ward. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lot of injury issues. The key players Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will probably miss the game with ankle injuries. According to me, they are both irreplaceable. Joel Matip, another important player, are still sidelined with a knee injury.
