Hobro won 3-1 away at Esbjerg a couple of days ago coming even from 1-0 behind from early in the first half and the score was indeed 1-0 at half-time for Esbjerg but in the second half Hobro was more brave and scored 3 goals in a row against a rather poor Esbjerg defense which has been so low in the league standings mainly due to poor defending this season, and they are now 5 points away from Hobro the 3rd placed club in this group while direct relegation is very likely for them if they do not win here.
Portsmouth have recovered themselves from bad run of form. They have won their last 5 matches in a row. They have also scored more than 2 goals in those 5 matches. They sit on 10th spot in the league 2 and managed 27 points from 17 matches in this season.
Fernandes has been widely reported as expected to leave Benfica in January having fallen out of favour under Bruno Lage. Parker: United are 10 players short from challenging again Transfer window LIVE - Man Utd chase Van de Beek, Chelsea make Gedson bid? Previous Premier League interest had been credited to West Ham United and Manchester United but now Sky Sports News are reporting that Chelsea have launched their own bid.
It would take a collapse of unthinkable proportions from a Liverpool team that have forgotten how to lose league games, and are at the peak of their powers, to throw this away now. The Queen's famous horse Devon Loch, who inexplicably fell within sight of the winning line in the 1956 Grand National, would be wiped from the history books as the worst finisher if Liverpool made a hash of this. Liverpool will, correctly, point to the twists and turns that could yet impact on their route to the title - but every indicator suggests this race is run in all but the confirmation.
With qualification games included, Wolves were bested just once in the 11 Europa League fixtures they've contested since mid-July, and Wanderers will expect to enhance that fine record even further this week.

Friendly match in Sweden between Sodertalje vs Assyriska United IK. My bet on this match is draw or away team to win. Both team are bad teams. I think that in this match there isn't clear favorite. I think that the chances of winning for both teams are 50/50. Both teams lose many goals in their matches, which is why I think there will be many goals in this match, but the odds of over 2.5 goals are low.
Brodkin has used football as a target before, once infiltrating a press conference where he threw dollar bills all over then FIFA president Sepp Blatter, and it speaks volumes that he now sees Premier League players as a similar target for his humour as the man eventually banned from the game after corruption allegations.
Whilst they had to wait until stoppage time to snatch a 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid at Jose Zorrilla last time out, they previously held 2nd placed Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at Mestalla and have now lost just one of their last eight top flight matches.
What they saidCeltic manager Neil Lennon: "It's sort of weird. I've not really been in this position before, but we are still driven. If we can win the group, it may give you a favourable draw. We have only made 10 points in a European group before and this is an opportunity to better that. That would be another milestone for this group and it is a big incentive. We go into the game with confidence but no complacency.
Tallinna Kalev is much of a weaker side than Trans Narva, but there is a great chance they will hold to a 0 x 2 result. Today we saw the unthinkable happen in Meistriliiga when Tulevik has beaten Paid with the odds over 16, yes that's a fact! Maybe the weaker sides got motivated watching that to happen, we never really know. Past results for the match in question are normally under 3.5 goals as it happened last time here at Kalev's 0 x 3. At the price of 1.91, there is quite a good value for this bet. 0 x 2 is my guess
Famalicao is right behind Sporting closing the gap to the 4th place as they won last round to everyone's surprise to the league leaders from FC Porto at the time with 2-1 at home and odds were great on the home win but I took both teams scoring and it was a won bet. Now they play Gil Vicente who are sitting in the middle of the league table with 30 points 11 points more than the relegation zone but lost to Portimonense which are just 2nd from bottom with 1-0 on the road last round.
Another very interesting match from AFC Cup where I will bet on goals and enjoy in this duel. So Tampines is interesting team who is very efficient in last few years. Believe it, or not, they are in last three matches, played with even 18 goals, what is impressive. In that period, this team is played 3-5, 4-3 and 1-2. PSM, on the other side is team who is played with four or more goals in last three matches, 3-1, 1-4 and 5-2. Yes, over is very real here and I will try that. Odds are also very good and it is ok to try.
However, after the break, Chelsea struggled to create anything against the 10 men and, with their first shot on or off target all match, Arsenal dramatically levelled thing up through Martinelli. The Brazilian became the first Arsenal teenager to score 10 or more goals in all competitions since Nicolas Anelka as he raced clear, for 67 yards, capitalising on a slip from N’Golo Kante on the counter, before slotting home.
On their own patch, Thomas Frank's men have really hit their stride in the last month or so, winning each of their last five at Griffin Park, scoring a pleasing 14 goals and conceding just two in the process. Not only have Brentford hurt teams offensively, but they've also done an excellent job of keeping their opponents at bay.
At that stage Arsenal looked utterly desperate, devoid of hope, skill, determination, confidence…actually, just pick a positive adjective, any one you like: Arsenal didn’t have it. They were heading for a tenth straight winless game, just four points above the relegation zone with a truly ugly fixture list to come.
Championship return schedule confirmed Round 38: Saturday, 20 June (12:30 BST)This west London derby sees two of the most potent at attacking units meet as third plays fourth. But, while you might look at it purely as Aleksandar Mitrovic, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Tom Cairney up against Ollie Watkins, Said Benrahma and Bryan Mbeumo, it's a game that could have a big say in the automatic promotion fight.
In what looks like an interview filmed on someone’s phone, Brescia club president Massimo Cellino responded to Mario Balotelli being dropped from their first-team by coach Fabio Grosso by…well…by being colossally racist. And with clockwork-like depressing predictability, the club chose not to side with, apologise to or sympathise with their player after being racially abused, but rather use the banter defence.
Haaland has now scored 10 Champions League goals in seven games this season -- eight for Salzburg in the group stage. PSG, who were eliminated at this stage of the competition in the previous three seasons, had fit-again Neymar and Kylian Mbappe back in the starting lineup but were almost completely shut out by an extremely efficient Dortmund backline.

Both sides have struggled slightly in front of goal with LASK averaging 1.5 goals per game, a figure skewed by their big win in matchweek four, and Rosenborg finding the net just once. We don't this changing too much and have predicted the 2.5 goal line to remain untouched with both teams largely cancelling each other out.
Nianan will host Bakaridjan for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result. Bakaridjan have a solid defense. Also, they will in this game to try to pick up all three points. Also, it should be said, Bakaridjan have better results in the last mutual matches. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Nianan who's is better team at home. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. However, the hosts have a more vulnerable defense. I think, the visitors will pay attention on their defense. They will in this match seek their chance.

Dortmund, who led 2-0 and 3-2, had only themselves to blame as they failed to close the gap to the top, staying four points behind Leipzig in third place. Dortmund, having won their previous three league games, looked to be cruising to victory when Julian Weigl fired in to give them the lead in the 23rd minute.
Norwich are still struggling after their promotion; they have failed to replicate their good run in the Championship and are the side with the most losses in the Premier League so far. Norwich have two wins in in their last 15 matches and have lost 10 of those. They have two clean sheets in the last 15 matches and conceded two in three of their last four matches.
Tatung is the current Champion of the league and they should be a big favorite here. however, since they have lost initial game from Taipower on the home ground, this squad should play against Taicheng with slower approach. They should not allow another negative surprise, and despite being big favorite, this game may not have such a big number of goals.
