Doncaster vs MK Dons predictions for Saturday’s League 1 fixture at Keepmoat Stadium. Will the hosts get their first win in four matches (in all competitions)? Read on for our free League 1 predictions and betting tips.
Given that Brescia and SPAL are the bottom two sides in Serie A, it would take a brave person to bet against the former Manchester United forward adding another record to his CV. Ronaldo could also set a few more new marks in the months to come - we have done some digging and found these records that the forward could break. He could become the highest men's international goalscorer - he already holds the European record with 99 goals, leaving him 10 behind Iran's Ali Daei who scored 109 between 1993 and 2006.
These two teams are at opposite ends of the table when it comes to the goal line this season, with Melbourne City games having 3 goals or more on 11 occasions whilst the same can only be said of four Brisbane Roar games. We’re confident that this game will see plenty of goals though and we are backing the 2.5 goal line to be beaten.
Meanwhile, after coming up from the National League, Leyton Orient harboured more modest aspirations prior to action kicking off. Staying in the fourth tier is the team's primary objective and they are currently well on course to do exactly that; currently 18th and 7 points clear of safety.
A depleted Newcastle side dug deep to come away from Wolverhampton Wanderers with a point over the Premier League weekend but they lost defender Paul Dummett and striker Dwight Gayle to injuries within the first 30 minutes. Bruce said it was the worst injury crisis he had seen in 40 years with as many as 13 players sidelined -- the highest among all Premier League clubs -- and the 59-year-old said he is pinning his hopes on Joelinton to lead the line.
Chelsea were outplayed by Arteta's Arsenal in the first half but Jorginho appeared to change the game, according to fellow goal-scorer Abraham. I give credit to the boys, I give credit to Jorginho," Abraham said. The first 30 minutes they dominated the ball, they were popping us in midfield, then this man [Jorginho] comes on and it was a whole different ball game.
The players struggled to carry out the German's energy-intensive pressing game and the high defensive line also had teething problems. The switch to zonal marking was another issue and led directly to St Johnstone's winning goal. With champions Celtic up next on Wednesday night, Hearts' time on the training ground is limited and Stendel must hope his players are fast learners. Media playback is not supported on this device 'Hearts rebuild will be more work than I expected' Stendel suffers Hearts defeat in dugout debut Can survivors beat the drop again?Accies have built a reputation for being able to pull themselves clear of relegation trouble and even this early in the season you can rest assured they are going to have to delve deeply into their reserves of courage again.
Whilst Boca Juniors would much rather be contesting the Copa Libertadores final this weekend, as rivals River Plate are, they can only focus on the task at hand, which is this league match. Indeed, having lost their domestic crown to Racing Club last season, running out kings of Argentina is a real objective for El Xeneize this term and winning games like Sunday's is going to be key if they are to do so.
The Villains do have undoubted talent in their midst, as their 5-1 demolition of Norwich in October showed. However, there’s a distinct feeling that this team hasn’t quite gelled yet, and that is hampering their chances of pushing up the table.
Villarreal played the more exciting football and also had several chances to break the deadlock, the best of which fell to Samuel Chukwueze who missed the target from inside the area. The clash had been pencilled in as the first Liga game to take place in the United States but was instead played at Villarreal's home after the league's organising body lost a legal battle with the Spanish soccer federation.
The newly formatted four team tournament was considered an unwelcome break to the La Liga season by many, particularly due to the Spanish Football Federation's decision to take a jaunt to the Middle East, but celebrations following Sergio Ramos' decisive spot kick proved the high level of importance placed on the occasion by Los Blancos, who emerged victorious despite being without the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale.
For both of these clubs, this is an important month for them. Good form will have them dreaming of a top ten finish, perhaps even getting into the Europa League. A run of bad results could see them dragged into a relegation battle. Palace have won three home league games but there haven't been many goals being scored. Brighton are inconsistent and need to build on that win at the Emirates. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the recommended one for this game.
Braga have won their last eight games in league and cup, home and away, against Aves and have kept a clean sheet in three of the duos’ last five encounters. Braga have scored two team goals in five of the pairs’ last six competitive and non-competitive matches, so you can see why we have backed the visitors to win 2-0 on Saturday.
Chelsea v BournemouthIt is five defeats in a row now for Bournemouth, and it is hard to see that run ending here. The Cherries have got a long list of injuries to contend with, especially at the back, and I just do not see them keeping Chelsea out. There will be a spring in everyone's step in the Blues squad after they secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League this week, and Lampard has got good competition for places in his squad.
In those circumstances and in line with The Football Association and the Professional Game, at a Board Meeting today The National League has decided that its competition is now suspended until at least 3rd April 2020". The league added that it had "no other choice but to reach this decision". Several club officials have warned that club's could struggle to survive without matchday income.
Wolfsburg is very close to the spot which leads to the Europa league next season and I think that spot is their main goal from this season and today I expect from them to be able to beat Augsburg on the road because they are simply better squad and they already failed to beat them at home in first part of the season when the game ended with 0-0,Augsburg on the other side is very close to the relegation zone and they will have a lot of problems staying in this league so I don't expect a lot from them today
Clapping emojis* Football does its part And now, a quick rundown of some of the ways that football, and the people within it, are helping. Even if the news can feel overwhelming, there are many examples out there of humans coming together to fight for their shared health and future. Stay safe everyone and have a good weekend.
We should have gone better than we did in the second half but you have to give them credit as well," Van Dijk said. Unfortunately we got that red card with Alisson then we just had to defend. City have now won only once in their last five games in all competitions and will be kicking themselves after twice leading at struggling Newcastle.
If you take a shirt from 24 years ago, when the national team started, and you take a shirt from now, you can see the difference in football. How football has developed. I love it because it's a way to travel through the history of football. From the kit that players wear to the way that they prepare for games, Lima has witnessed this evolution first hand. Everything has become much more detailed and focused, even for a country like Andorra that has nowhere near the sporting infrastructure or resources of Europe's elite.
Manager Antonio Conte's expression gave little away as he watched from the sidelines with his assistant, Steve Holland, but the Italian couldn't help but be impressed by Mount's near-flawless 70-minute showing in the 3-2 victory. You could see the first-team players trusted him because he's so good on the ball," says Viveash. The first thing you notice is that they're not afraid to give it him all the time.
