Three of their four losses at the tail end of last year came away from home which was very contributive to these defeats but at the Matmut Atlantique they have been impressive with five wins in their last six in front of their own fans. They managed to put six past Nîmes a few weeks back but they've still been extremely efficient at scoring despite this outlier with two goals scored in four of these six matches. Four clean sheets have also come in this time highlighting the confidence and ability that Bordeaux showcasing at both ends of the pitch currently.
Meanwhile, City director Txiki Begiristain is viewing the tie as an opportunity for his club to prove their pedigree. It's a difficult one, of course," he told BT Sport . Real Madrid have won [the competition] 13 times, so they're the best. We want to be the best, so we want to beat them. It is always a pleasure to go to Real Madrid and play in a big stadium like the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Frenchman might not be the most glamorous signing, but he is a World Cup winner and his compatriot (and Barca forward) Antoine Griezmann enjoys playing alongside him.

His goal-scoring record is just incredible, and so is his attitude. For someone who is a genuine superstar, he is so humble - and he is the nicest man you will ever meet. A lot of superstars might be great talents on the pitch but can also be a bit difficult off it. With Aguero, both parts are spot on. Yes he shows emotion, as he did with Riyad Mahrez at half-time at Villa Park, asking him why he didn't pass to him when he was clean through, but it is only ever football-related.

Ideally, Baroness Campbell would want the same manager in place for both major tournaments, avoiding an upheavel in the 12 months between them. The FA will need assurances that Neville is willing to commit for that period and agree to a two-year extension to his current contract. Would Neville walk away? Phil Neville has the backing of the FA’s director of women’s football, Sue CampbellNeville was deflated after England's defeat by Spain this month and said he held "honest conversations" with players in the dressing room immediately afterwards.
Yet Everton, displaying impressive new-found enterprise under Carlo Ancelotti, struck back with two goals in three minutes just before the break, with their unlikely saviour being the Colombian defender Mina. Having struck in the first minute of added time when he bundled the ball home after a goalmouth scramble, he then headed in the equaliser on the stroke of half time.
That result leaves The Citizens in 3rd position, some 14 points adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool and relying on a miracle to stand any chance of successfully defending the title again. That miracle may be unlikely, but Manchester City need to get back in shape if they are to take advantage of any slip ups.
The midfielder's free-kick from the right beat Zander Clark, with defender Christopher Jullien claiming a touch. Celtic had pummelled the hosts, Odsonne Edouard striking a post as they sought a 34th-straight domestic cup win. St Johnstone came close through Jamie McCart but ultimately failed to keep the dominant champions at bay. Neil Lennon's side join Edinburgh clubs Hibernian and Heart of Midlothian as well as their last-four opponents as they pursue a fourth-consecutive domestic treble.
This is his first season in National League South after being released by Dagenham & Redbridge in the summer and Hoyte, who joined Arsenal as a nine-year-old before leaving in 2012 after four senior appearances, says he is still adjusting. At Arsenal you play on a carpet and you have to shout to the other person in the changing room because it is so big," he added. At this level some opposition grounds are terrible.
No changes to text. JEDDAH, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Barcelona's campaign to defend the revamped Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia got off to an inauspicious start as they arrived late for a training session in Jeddah on Wednesday, with a club source saying their bus driver had headed to the wrong location.
The Welsh side have a new coach this year with Wayne Pivac replacing Warren Gatland. He has big shoes to fill but couldn't have asked for an easier start to this years Six Nations. A home game and up against perennial losers Italy, what more could you ask for? He'll also be thankful that this is the opening fixture because his side will be without captain Jonathan Davies but Rhys Webb and Talupe Fletau are back.

Mendy was shown a second yellow card in the 82nd minute for a rash challenge. The victory moves Real Madrid three points clear of Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table before Ernesto Valverde's side take on Mallorca later on Saturday (20:00 GMT). Real were comfortably the better team, although Espanyol did come close in the first half when Esteban Granero's header was palmed away by Thibaut Courtois, seconds before Vinicius Junior raced up the other end and forced a save out of Lopez.
Joe Gomez Gomez has done really well this season but every time he does well it is next to Virgil Van Dijk. When he's played in England games before you haven't looked at him and thought, 'He's brought his club form into international form. Can he do well next to Maguire and feel assured? Joe GomezGetty Images Harry Maguire You've got to throw Maguire in there even though I'm not a great fan.
To my friends they still see me as Luke, but to the year sevens (11- and 12-year-olds) I'm some sort of superstar. That's so weird to me because I was in their shoes, wearing that exact same uniform, taught by the same teachers, sitting in the same classrooms, writing with the same pens and pencils and now they're coming up to me with their planners for their homework asking me to sign stuff and I'm getting told off by my old head of year because I'm not allowed to.

This is one of the biggest home wins in this round in Belarusian Premier league, at least I think so, but we will see what will happen. So, Slutsk is team who is in this moment leader on the table and they are really playing pretty good. Their midfield is pretty good so far, and also attack who is on big level. In this round, they will be play against Belshina, and that is the weakest team in league and team who is last on the table. Slutsk, with this form, surely must win this duel and they will do it.

Liverpool can take another important step towards winning the Premier League title. It'll be strange to have a Merseyside Derby without any fans but that's football in 2020. The league leaders had a few mishaps before suspension and lost in the FA Cup and Champions League. They will want to get the title won as soon as possible and take on an Everton side that could yet qualify for Europe but struggle against top sides. Go for an away win here.
FIFA have been talking about distribution of the revenue but haven't discussed the impact this would have in different countries," he said. Let's imagine the two teams from Argentina (Boca Juniors and River Plate are expected to take part) get 40 or 50 million dollars from the tournament. This would have a significant impact on their domestic league.
Gent is 4th and they play against the 1st place today Club Brugge. Club Brugge is with 45 points in first place and they have 8 points more than 2nd place Antwerp. Gent have 35 points and have a good chance today that with a win they can take the second place however I predict a draw here. Maybe Club Brugge will not play hard today seeing the difference between them and the second place. Gent will look to win this match but however I don't think that Club Brugge will allow them to win. I see this match a draw.
And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
The poster of the Sunday rivalry of the 22nd round of the Italian Serie A is quite interesting, in which Milan, with the support of the stands of his native San Siro, will play the role of the conqueror of 3 points in the battle against Verona. The only question is how much she will agree to give up.
People were turning around and looking at each other and thinking: 'Could we?' I've never felt a feeling like that in my life, and I grew up standing on the Kop as a kid. It sends shivers down my spine even now thinking about it. I walked out after that game and there was just a stunned silence, and I've never witnessed that before. People were sitting in the pub I went into in shock. No-one could believe what had just happened.
A fantastic player and captain. Patrick Vieira Patrick Vieira captained Arsenal during their 'Invincibles' season of 2003-04 when they went the entire Premier League season unbeatenPremier League appearances: 307Goals: 31Clubs: Arsenal, Manchester CityPremier League titles: ThreeShearer: "Vieira was horrible to play against, in a nice way. He could play if he wanted to play, but if you wanted to have a fight or be physical with him, he was as hard as they come.
After throwing away a two-goal last week, we expect Koln to come roaring out of the blocks. Only 33% of the goals they have conceded at home have been in the first half. Therefore, we see them carrying a lead into the half-time break and holding Fortuna at bay to get the win. Back the home side to win both halves.
Reaction to Tuesday's Premier League actionMartial spurns opportunity A lot of pre-match conversation was focused on how United would cope without Rashford, who is sidelined for at least six weeks with a stress fracture of the back. That gave an opportunity to Anthony Martial to stake his claim to be United's long-term number nine, but the Frenchman looked off the pace throughout and wasted two good first-half opportunities from Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross and Nemanja Matic's throughball.
Persib Bandung are playing good lately. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches and sit on 9th spot with 41 points. They have recorded 10 wins 11 draws and 8 victories in this season. They also have a good home record as they have won 7 home matches in this season.
The trio cost the club more than £80m but before Saturday's fixture they had only managed one goal and one assist between them - both belonging to Joelinton. Bruce was forced to defend them after their underwhelming displays in last Monday's 2-0 loss at Aston Villa, and social media was awash with people asking for a change. There were more moans early on against a dominant City. When Newcastle won back possession Joelinton again struggled to hold up play, Saint-Maximin ran 40 yards then lost the ball, and on one occasion Almiron struggled to get a shot away in the area when the ball got caught up between his feet.

Merw Will host Ahal in the Yokary Liga of Turkmenistan at Toplum Sport Bayramaly on Saturday. Merw has three wins and six defeats this season and Lost four of the five away matches this season but Defeated Energetic by 2-1 in the last away game. While Ahal won six and and lost two matches this season but they lost both derby games to Altyn Asyr and coming from home defeat against Altyn Asyr by 1-2. That should be lack of confidence and this is good chance for Mere to take home advantage against Ahal. So Expecting Draw in this game .
Diego Martinez' men should be supported cautiously after their glut of defeats in November and December, although we do feel they are the most likely winners here considering how poor Mallorca have been on their travels this season.
Rodrigo Moreno and Geoffrey Kondogbia are likely to be back. Second placed Real Madrid, who are level on 43 points with their great rivals, will be ready to take advantage of any slip-ups when they visit Valladolid on Sunday. Coach Zinedine Zidane used Wednesday’s Copa victory over Unionistas to give playing time to a number of squad players and, barring an injury picked up by forward Gareth Bale, the Frenchman was pleased with what he saw.

With both teams currently lacking the confidence and cutting edge to outscore the other, we think the likeliest outcome for Saturday's game is a draw, and that full-time result selection looks an attractive option at the prices available.
The game will be permitted to return in phase two of the Scottish government's easing on lockdown restrictions, which could be around 18 June. The SPFL is to ask if clubs can train from 10 June but McInally - the SPFL's longest-serving manager - believes unless matches resume with supporters it is "meaningless" and a "waste of time". It's not proper football," he said. It's a closed-door friendly. Watching the Bundesliga last week, because there wasn't a crowd there, the players weren't under any pressure to pass the ball forward.
The Cas verdict added: "In addition, the violations of other RSTP (Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players) rules were found to be less serious than those attributed to Chelsea by Fifa. Details of the case which was recently published on a Fifa legal website showed Chelsea claimed many academy players were only triallists and did not play in organised matches. Chelsea lodged an appeal to Cas against the Fifa punishment, which was also prompted by an investigation into the Premier League club's signing of foreign under-18 players.
He also needs his team to rediscover the slick passing game and dominance of midfield that has been their hallmark but has been sorely missing in recent weeks. Injuries are part of the process at this time of year especially and Liverpool suffered a blow with their key holding midfielder Fabinho picking up an ankle injury against Napoli.
Barca target Moreno Barcelona are planning to make room for a striker in their squad. They have been linked with Rodrigo Moreno of Valencia by Spanish newspaper Marca. In order to free up space for the 28-year-old forward, new boss Quique Setien is willing to let youngster Carles Perez leave, despite the 21-year-old attacker only signing a new deal to stay at the club.
Their best chance came when Michael Smith fired across, it fell to Lewis Moore but he miscontrolled in a fabulous position and the ball squirmed painfully to safety. Hearts pushed and pushed but failed to test Vaclav Hladky enough. There was more drama in the final moments. Clevid Dikamona went down under Sam Foley's challenge. The defender raced after referee Alan Muir, who waived away his penalty claims.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said that the position regarding the top flight "remains particularly complicated". Leaders Celtic are 13 points ahead of Rangers at the top having played a game more, while Hearts are four adrift at the bottom, with most teams having eight games still to play. Everyone is aware of Uefa's desire for the family of European football to work together to resolve the issues that confront us all," Doncaster said.

GOAL! West Ham United 0 Tottenham Hotspur 3 (Kane 49) This one's done. Spurs win the ball back again, and work it to Aurier on the right. He whips it into the six-yard box, where Kane arrives with more determination than Diop and powers a downward header into the goal. GOAL! West Ham United 1 (Antonio 73) Tottenham Hotspur 0 A brilliant finish from Antonio, who's deserved this goal.
In this game I definitely prefer home team and in my opinion they are big favorites here, guests are the worst team in the league and they are already relegated, on the other side there is 3 rounds to the end and home team have only 4 points more than team who is dangerous zone, so, it is obvious that this game is much more important for home team and I expect that they will have much more imperative and motive and I expect that they will win and take 3 very important points and for me this is pretty safe bet. Gl to all!
