With the troubles both of these sides have shown in finding the back of the net, it should come as no surprise to learn that we do not expect there to be a lot between these two sides. With just nine goals scored in total at the Pirelli in the league this season, it is a venue which is well used to low scoring matches, and given that the visitors have scored an average of just 1.4 goals per game on the road, backing there to be less than 2.5 goals scored looks to be a pretty safe bet.
Both sides are struggling for form coming into this game. Lyon need to find some with that Juventus match next week and need to get back up the table. Metz are in relegation trouble but their home form is improving but they draw too many games. The majority of Metz fixtures have had under 2.5 goals scored in them and that's the tip for this game.
Villa finally made the breakthrough when Grealish and substitute Hourihane combined in the box for the latter to sweep a left-footed strike past Tim Krul into the far corner. Aubameyang goal earns Arteta's Arsenal draw at Bournemouth READ: Aubameyang rescues draw for Arteta A second-half equaliser from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Mikel Arteta a point in his first game as Arsenal manager as his side came back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Sergino Dest has left Ajax Amsterdam’s training camp in Qatar and returned to the Netherlands over safety concerns as political tension in the region remained high, the club said on Thursday. The decision of Dutch-born Dest follows a similar move by the U. S national team to cancel a planned training camp in Qatar following an American air strike at Baghdad airport last week that killed a top Iranian general and has caused unrest in the Middle East.
Goztepe, meanwhile, are eighth in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone and 12 points off the European places. Last week's 2-0 win over Rizespor brought a dismal run of four games without a victory to an end. Trabzonspor are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in the Super Lig, the last outing being a close draw with Istanbul Basaksehir.
These two clubs finished on 4th and 3rd place in the league last season, and they caught a play-off place each of them meeting in the Quarter stage and the game at Anyang ended 1-1 which meant Anyang progressed to the semis but lost to Busan on the road and Busan eventually promoted to the first league level. Still two quality teams for this league level with many decent foreign players, mostly Brazilians but I saw some Africans I think it was at Anyang, and they play up-front of course.
High-flying Liverpool and Chelsea are the only teams to have left Burnley's stomping ground with any points this term, and with Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes proving a potent front pairing, the Clarets have been uncharacteristically productive in the final third.

COMING UP Hold onto your narrative: it’s Manchester United against Wayne Rooney (and some other Derby County players, whatever) in the FA Cup. Reckon we could be on for one of the all-time great muted celebrations. Elsewhere, the SheBelieves Cup kicks off in the USA with Spain facing Japan. Here tomorrow to bring you the final judgement on this weird midweek FA Cup experiment, Tom Adams.
Today will be a match of the championship of the Spanish Examples, in which Leganes will take Celta. Leganes is currently at position 20 and has only 6 points. Celta takes 18th place with 13 points. Both teams spend just awful the first part of the season and are fighting for survival. Leganes is not bad in defense, but now there are serious personnel problems, so there will probably be many mistakes in defense in this match. Celta recently changed her coach and finally managed to win, but then a draw followed. The match is very important for both teams and it is quite difficult to single out an obvious favorite here, but still he would have preferred Leganes a little more, since he needs to do everything in this match in order to gain maximum points. Yes, Celta also needs to win, but the situation among the Celts is slightly better. If you look at the face-to-face meetings, you can see that these teams do not play among themselves productively, but I think that in today's match there are quite a few prerequisites for it to be effective.
Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane’s skirmish in the tunnel prior to kick-off set the tone and the hosts twice went in front in a tense atmosphere. But United, who were reduced to 10-men, stormed back to win an incident-packed encounter, with a 19-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two of their three goals after the break.

Before that match, Eintracht Frankfurt has won two times against Leipzig, in league and in cup, also they won at away against Hoffenheim.

He had to adapt to us as well. We had difficult teething problems early in the season, it wasn't perfect by any means, but we found a way to work with each other. No manager has given me that kind of belief before, he got the best out of me. He was a joy to play for.

I'm here to try to develop, win and enjoy everything that goes with being a professional footballer," she added.
This season will be used to find a team and a squad for next season, but hopefully we can speed this process up by getting more results. I expect us to be more consistent, definitely more experienced and learning from these setbacks. At the moment we're a little bit further behind than what I was hoping for. Midfielder Paul Pogba, who had been out since September with an ankle injury, came on as a substitute in United's 2-0 defeat by Watford on Sunday.
Explosiveness and attacking swagger has characterised the bulk of Rooney's career, but this was a display embodied by poise, temperament and guile. When tempers frayed between both sets of players after a clash between Huddlestone and Milivojevic in the second half, it was telling that Rooney tried to intervene as peacemaker.
An interesting match between the second spotted Real Zaragoza and Alcorcon. The hosts are on the right track to directly advance to La Liga. this match is important for Zaragoza because the upper table is very tight, while the guests also need points. They will try to get a stable situation and they have not lost a single away matches this season. Zaragoza won 3 of the last 5 games, and undefeated in 7 games. Alarcon sit 12th and coming from a defeat and won 2 of the last 5 games played. This is going to be tight after the break. Zaragoza don't have home support and Alcorcon is good at home.
Wolfsburg have enjoyed 9 matches unbeaten run in the beginning of the season. But they are without a win in each of their last four Bundesliga fixtures. When we include their European and domestic cup results, their recent form makes for even grimmer reading. They have lost each of their last four competitive games. Furthermore, they are without a win in their last seven competitive fixtures. They will try to get back on the track by giving a good performance here.

Graham Coughlan leaving was always going to have a negative effect, though Rovers fans would've hoped that new man Ben Garner could steady the ship quickly. Unfortunately, that's not really happened.
