Indeed, just like Forest, Wednesday's spell away from the Premier League has been an extended one but hopes are high that The Owls can make their return this season; so long as a rumoured potential points deduction doesn't hit.

Two of the worst teams of the Belarus Reserve league will meet here. They are yet to win a match in the league and managed only 1 point so far in this season. Gorodeya have lost the last 3 matches meanwhile Bate lost their last 4 matches in a row. But if you look at Hosts home form, we can see that they only lost one of their last 5 home matches. They are very much of an underdog here but I don't see why. Bate is in worse situation. They even lost their last away matches by 6-0 goals. I don't think that Bate can win in this one. I will go for the hosts in this game. Because in the reserve league, Anything can happen.
Bets on the hosts and over lines have been very good lately for example they hosted Wisla recently and won the game with 4-2 in the end, they are not great in defense and outsiders a bit here in this one as Jagiellonia is on 6th place at this moment and fighting not to end the normal season inside the relegation group, this while the hosts scored more than 20 goals this season but also conceded 27 while Jagiellonia has the 3rd best scoring record in the league with more than 30 goals scored.

I remember Cristiano getting stick early doors," Wales manager Ryan Giggs said at the time. It's that kind of club. It's a club like no other where the white handkerchiefs come out if they don't like you. That's just the way it is. Last year, the animosity reached a stage where Real manager Zinedine Zidane said it would be "best for everyone" if Bale left. Although Bale ignored the Bernabeu jeers and stayed in Madrid, his opportunities to play with Wales felt increasingly like an escape from the hostility - and Wales were happy to offer that haven.

City looked horribly vulnerable to pace, as exemplified by Aubameyang easing clear to score his second, while left-back is another position in need of attention. Benjamin Mendy got the nod here but too often looks like an accident waiting to happen while Oleksandr Zinchenko is a deputy at best. It will be no surprise to see Guardiola buy big in these areas, with Napoli's outstanding defender Kalidou Koulibaly looking just the sort of lynchpin they will need alongside Laporte.
Stevenage have picked up points in five of their last six meetings with Crawley and both teams have scored in five of the pairs last six encounters.

PRAGUE, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Slavia coach Jindrich Trpisovsky's coaching career has propelled him from the rough-and-tumble lower echelons of Czech football to Barcelona's hallowed Camp Nou - an unlikely journey that the baseball-cap wearing coach describes as a dream. Trpisovsky roamed the sidelines of the Czech third tier only six years ago but is now operating at the highest level in Europe club football while earning an impressive reputation with his attacking philosophy.
This 2006 World Cup final brought the curtain down on the international career of a superstar, but France's Zinedine Zidane left the stage in shame. The two protagonists in the moment that scarred a stellar career had already made their mark in Berlin's historic Olympiastadion.

I had to break down attacks and give the ball to Veron and Scholes. Veron got a lot of stick but he was unbelievable that day. Before the game Sir Alex said we had to put down a marker. At the time Arsenal gave us a massive kick up the backside because they played better football than us the year before. That season we had to show our resilience and fight more than ever before.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's post-match assessment of his side was scathing, saying they "threw it away" and blaming "poor defending" for the "soft" goals conceded.

Did you have a cage in your local park with actual goals? Lucky you!

Crawley Town are far from in form and they have just one win in their last eight league matches. Unsurprisingly, this run of form has seen the hosts drop down the table and although they looked good in the early rounds of the season, they now appear to be in a battle in mid-table. Although they cannot be counted on for the win this weekend, they have earned 67% of their points at home so will be hopeful of a positive result. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 10 matches and have seen both teams score in 78% of their league games, so they know that there is much work to be done in order to reverse their current fortunes.

Grealish opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a beautiful, curling effort into the top corner -- right in front of the Stretford End -- and continued to be a threat through the game, making it impossible not to notice the contrast with United's unimaginative midfield. In fairness, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is without his best midfielder, injured French midfielder Paul Pogba and he was also lacking the physical presence of Scott McTominay, leaving him with few options.
TALKING POINT Will the Europa League be able to finish this season? Wolves wanted the game postponed this evening, calling it an ‘unnecessary risk’ due to the coronavirus outbreak. It went ahead regardless, and the eerie atmosphere in an almost empty stadium seemed to sum up the futility of continuing with these competitions in the face of such a crisis.
Guests are favorites in this match from Germany Regional league, but I will still bet on goals here, what is for me, more than ok and very real. So, Optik Rathenow is team who is won in last match at home in league 3-0, but in previous round, they are lost, as a guests, 0-3. Hertha is better team, that is clear, but they are in bad form and I'm not sure that they will win in this duel. In last three matches, this team is lost 1-2, 1-3 and 1-2. I see here in any case plenty of goals.
The game between Wigan athletic fc and Preston North end will be live on Saturday the 8th of February. The home team lost last head to head away to Preston by three goals to nil, they can't find the back of the net but they only concede but beside this game they won their game before that one at this place so I think the visitors must beware this home team is an underdog.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he never doubted midfielder Naby Keita, who returned and scored in Saturday's 3-0 win at Bournemouth. Keita cost £52. RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018, but has been restricted to only 17 Premier League starts since. Naby had injuries, the team is in really good shape, so then do you change?" said Klopp. It was just unlucky and in life you always need luck. A muscular issue, a groin strain and a back problem have affected 24-year-old Keita at various points during his Anfield career.

The club filed an appeal with CAS in June in a bid to be able to recruit in the January transfer window, and Lampard was asked at a news conference when a decision could be expected. Very soon, I believe. Days, I think," he replied. I haven't heard any more, so I would wait and reserve judgement (on Chelsea's plans for January) until we get the judgement and see where we want to go from there.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the hosts will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Gil Vicente are still yet to lose at home which is very impressive for a club that was promoted up two divisions in the summer, while Guimaraes have secured a point in half of their away games.
If Moyes thinks that is unlikely to happen then it makes sense to move him on and use any money raised to buy younger or more reliable alternatives.

In his personal diary Moore remembered that epic occasion. Today has been the most sensational day of my life. The way the Scottish international team acted once they arrived at the hotel here, they would hardly speak to us," he wrote. To play and score against them was something of a dream come true. After the game we were carried off the field not to mention the £25 bonus which we have to get for winning.
But Peter Schmeichel was in inspired form in the United goal, and Eric Cantona's 51st-minute strike proved decisive. A month later, in a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at Anfield - a game regarded as one of the greatest in Premier League history - Newcastle twice led before being sunk by a stoppage-time Stan Collymore winner. Keegan, deflated by the killer late goal, slumped over an advertising board in front of the away dugout, his title hopes all but slain by his former club.
