Manchester United head to this game as favorites, even though Brugge are the form team. United have led at half time in three of their last four matches and each of the last two away matches in the Europa League. They head here on a good away run in recent matches and we are backing them to win at the end. United leading at half time and full time comes with good odds and we will go for that.

With the Saints yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season, the game was peppered with tough tackles from both sides. Southampton's Pierre Hojbjerg literally had the shirt torn from his back in one early altercation.
Sander Berge, NorwayGetty Images Norway’s only defeat came in their opening group match against Spain, but five draws to four wins meant they had to settle for a play-off spot. Euro 2020 is but three games away for Norway, who must navigate their way through Path C to reach this summer’s tournament. Norway host Serbia in their play-off semi-final on March 26, with the winner then facing Scotland or Israel for a place in England’s group.
Wigan is going up again, and with the recent series of the good performances, this team has a chance to avoid relegation in the Spring part. Reading is one of the rivals that are fighting the bottom of the league, but they are standing weaker in the competition, with the form at lower level than Wigan.
He's an incredible person, so special. Bielsa has managed Argentina and Chile at international level and clubs including Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lazio and Lille, before joining Leeds in 2018. It will be incredible for English football to have him in the Premier League next season," added Guardiola. Winning titles helps to have a job next season but at the end of your life, what you remember is not the titles you have won, what you remember is the memories you have and whether the manager taught you a lot.
Reaction from Tuesday's FA Cup third-round replaysHow life has changed for Rochdale teen MathesonNewcastle get the job doneNewcastle were frustrated they did not finish the job at Rochdale earlier this month and Bruce took no chances by naming a side boasting a combined 104 Premier League starts this season for the replay.
Giroud may get new Chelsea deal Olivier Giroud could extend his stay at Chelsea, after having almost left the club in January. The striker was out of favour under Frank Lampard and looked to be heading for the exit door, but could not secure a move. He is out of contract in the summer and Football London report that preliminary discussions have taken place regarding a new deal.
David Moyes returns to West Ham announcing "it feels great to be home" - although his previous time in residence encompassed only six months and 31 games. The 56-year-old Scot is back at the club on an 18-month contract with a point to prove and a large helping of humble pie being served up in the West Ham boardroom. When Moyes was previously thanked for his services as he departed in May 2018, joint chairman David Sullivan said: "We feel that it is right to move in a different direction.
Good morning! Krumkachs started the season perfectly, winning two weak teams with a good handicap, but 2 extreme matches showed weak results, especially against Lokomotiv Gomel. Yes, Loko are good this season, but it was extremely shameful to merge at 0-4, especially since Naftan played a draw with them and scored 3 goals on the road. It is also worth noting the game in personal meetings, and here is the advantage of Team 2. I think you can safely try with zero odds. Last season, Naftan was stronger away and was homeless.
An Giang will play against Viettel in the Vietnamese cup. An giang played good in their last 3 matches in May and they drew all of them. They are one of the most draw prone teams of the league. Their home record is quite decent as they have lost only 4 of their last 14 away matches in the league.
The Saudis are hoping to claim the title for the first time after losing in the final in 2014 and 2017. Those failures hold bitter memories for Al Hilal, who were the continent's most successful club two decades ago when they won two Asian Club Championship titles, two Asian Cup Winners Cup crowns and the Asian Super Cup twice from 1991 to 2002.
PAOK is currently on a very impressive streak with 4 consecutive victories, which allowed them to get to the first place of the Greek Superleague after a couple of draws from Olympiakos in the last weeks. PAOK has yet to lose a game this season after 12 wins and 4 drawers and on this match we expect another win from them. Aris is a decent team, is currently in the 6th place but PAOK is clearly the better side and with their price above events on the 1x2 market we can only take PAOK to get the victory on this match.
There were already a lot of eyes on me," he said. Then there's even more pressure, but I knew in training I felt good. In games there was still a bit of adaptation. Step by step I improved. On conceding penalties for handball against Lecce and Torino early in his Juve career, he added: "I remember going to the showers and people were saying it was unbelievable. It's like there was a magnet in my arm.
BARCELONA, March 2 (Reuters) - Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0 on Sunday in the Clasico while Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at Espanyol and Sevilla moved up to third with a 3-2 win over Osasuna. Here are the talking points from the weekend in La Liga: SPAIN'S FALLEN GIANTS STAY NECK AND NECK Barcelona missed a big chance to move five points clear of Real Madrid when they were beaten on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Zinedine Zidane's side now a point ahead.
Ndombele has largely failed to live up to his price tag since his switch to the Premier League and has at times been scapegoated. Barcelona are lying in wait should the Frenchman decide to call time on his time at Spurs, which could depend on their Champions League qualification. Paper Round’s view: For a plethora of reasons and despite some excellent burst, Ndombele has mostly disappointed at Spurs.
Atleti, meanwhile, looked dangerous on the break, and Alvaro Morata ought to have doubled their advantage but scuffed a shot into Alisson Becker's ankle. Both sides improved in the second half, Liverpool looking sharper and Atleti creating the best chance once again; ever creative, this time Morata slipped at the crucial moment.
Cardiff recently enjoyed a run of form of their own, winning three on the bounce, though they were stopped in their tracks on Wednesday evening, as they lost by two goals to one away against Brentford.
The police have notified us today that, having reviewed and investigated, they have closed the crime report as they can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse. We fully support Antonio Rudiger with the action that he took – however there is no evidence to corroborate or contradict the allegation and as such neither ourselves nor the police are in a position to take any further action.
His salary at the moment can be as high as £200,000 a week, but that depends on both the player and Arsenal hitting all their targets, something that will not happen as the club sit well outside the Champions League places. Paper Round’s view: Now may not be the worst time to move Aubameyang on. Of course he is the club’s best striker, and probably the best player in the team, but at 30 he is close to or past his peak.
