Both teams scored in four of RKC’s and five of Heerenveen’s last six matches and the visitors have drawn 40% of their league games this season, which only adds weight to our prediction for a 2-2 draw this weekend. Both teams scored in 60% of RKC’s and 67% of Heerenveen’s games so far this season and we’re expecting more of the same on Sunday.
Football's biggest carbon emitters Air travel by the top 20 footballers nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or was responsible for producing 505 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year alone, according to a climate change researcher. Andrew Welfle, from the University of Manchester, said governing bodies and teams must combat climate change by curbing air travel and finding alternative methods for their frequent flier players to reduce CO2 emissions.
There is a lack of goals in them and away from home they have a real fragility. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sonny's prediction: 2-1 Man Utd v Aston Villa (16:30 GMT)I have seen enough from Villa to believe they will be fine and avoid the drop. With Manchester United it is a difficult one, like the toss of a coin: heads they look like a good side, tails they look like they just met on the M62. It was a little bit like that at Sheffield United last week although they got a point and could have had three.

Burnley wasted the chance to punish Arsenal, who escaped from Turf Moor with a point from a goalless draw. The Clarets at least ended a run that had seen them beaten in their previous 11 games against the Gunners, but the home side should have had more. After riding some early pressure from the visitors, Burnley gradually asserted themselves to bombard the Arsenal goal with headed efforts. Jeff Hendrick and James Tarkowski were most culpable of missing with headers, both failing to hit the target from close range, while Jay Rodriguez volleyed against the underside of the bar when he should have scored.
Wolves are unbeaten in six Europa League away matches Espanyol have one win in seven matches. Espanyol are unbeaten in four straight home matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers have four straight clean sheets Wolverhampton Wanderers will carry to Spain a massive lead in their return leg round of 16 clash against Espanyol in the Europa League.
Nikolai Kirov's army will probably win this match when they are in better form than Arda. Specifically, the team of coach Nikolai Kirov has won the last 5/10 matches on the away field, won the last 4/6 matches and won the last 6/9 matches on the away field. And Arda has lost the last 5/8 matches, the last 3/5 matches at home, not winning the last 5/8 matches at home, not winning the last 7/8 matches.
Pochettino, so we understand, wanted rid of them all over the summer, the better to reshape a new squad: young, hungry, and keen. All of which adds up to something very strange: José Mourinho the continuity option. Here to keep the squad together. Here to not spend a fortune and smash everything to pieces.
World Cup goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo has been included and two-time Asian Champions League winner Kim Young-gwan is expected to captain the team, while Kim Jin-su, Park Jo-hoo and Kim Bo-kyung all boast significant experience of playing in Europe. The Koreans kick off their campaign on Wednesday against Hong Kong, who qualified for the finals by seeing off North Korea in the preliminary rounds.
Meanwhile, those with darker skin tones were "significantly" more likely to be "reduced to their physical characteristics or athletic ability", such as their pace and power. The research, conducted by Danish firm RunRepeat in association with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), concluded that the findings showed "bias from commentators". The continuous praise for players with lighter skin tone for their skill level, leadership and cognitive abilities combined with the continuous criticism for players with darker skin tone is likely to influence the perception of the soccer watching public," said the researchers.
There is no doubting Messi’s ability to do that, but COPE and Marca have both reported that he is tired of “being a scapegoat” for everything that happens at Barcelona. So could the unthinkable happen and Messi leave? He is currently under contract until 2021 and Abidal said in his interview with Sport that talks are underway over a new deal and he is “positive” over the situation.
Manchester City scored some beautiful goals as they brushed aside Burnley at Turf Moor to earn a comprehensive 4-1 win on Tuesday night. See alsoBurnley v Manchester City - As it happened Goals in each half from Gabriel Jesus gave City a 2-0 lead with 50 minutes gone, before Rodri and Riyad Mahrez added excellent finishes of their own to extend the lead to four.
The Portuguese midfielder's dipping free-kick from the edge of the penalty area flew over Aaron Ramsdale and into the top corner to break the deadlock. Moutinho's quick thinking from another free-kick then released Traore, whose cross was turned in by Jimenez for the Mexican's 14th goal of the season in all competitions.

Club Brugge lost 2-1 away at European hopefuls Antwerp before the international break and will be demanding a response from their players this Thursday. Oostende’s poor form continued last time out when they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Royal Excel Mouscron, making it ten league games without a win.
GERMANY: BAYERN MUNICH: German champions are 75% owned by their fans, with sportswear brand Adidas, carmaker Audi and insurer Allianz all having stakes of 8. SPAIN: REAL MADRID/BARCELONA: The two Spanish clubs are owned by their fans through membership schemes. They regularly have the highest revenue of any European soccer clubs thanks to their commercial appeal.
Grecia is solid in this ending of the season collecting 14 points from their last 6 league games with a record of 4-2-0 as 3 of those wins were even by more than one goal difference and I was even thinking of taking here a bet on Grecia to win this encounter by at least 2 goals difference or more at higher odds and I say this because San Carlos are really weak in this ending of the season, they have 3 losses in their last 5 league games and lost every time by at least 2 goals difference.
Former Ireland defender McCarthy, 61, took over in November 2018 and was poised to lead them into last month's Euro 2020 qualifying playoffs before the coronavirus pandemic took hold. Ex-Dundalk manager Kenny was due to replace McCarthy after the Euros but with the playoffs delayed and the tournament put back a year the FAI have brought the transition forward.
Karl Robinson's title challengers have won six of their last seven at Kassam Stadium and are now unbeaten in eight at home. Not only have they won six of their last seven home matches, but they've done so in tremendously solid style, conceding zero goals. Well over ten hours of football have passed since Oxford conceded a goal in front of their own fans. In addition to keeping a clean sheet, the U's have generally done a good job of restricting teams, conceding an average of just 2.6 shots on target.
One very good reason for taking the home win in this one even with cover on the draw bet is the fact that Valencia in their last 10 home games has a record of 7-3-0, Real Madrid and Chelsea only drew here while Barcelona lost 2-0 here not so long ago, and usually Valencia is bossing their games at home while Atletico is not really the type of side to be dominating games, looking at their recent starting eleven I also see many missing players and overall a weak side compared to the previous seasons.
As for Spurs last season, they had little details for them. VAR [Video Assistant Referee] was with them [against Manchester City], the Lucas [Moura] goal in Amsterdam [against Ajax]. To arrive in the final is an achievement but not history. I love the competition as much as everyone in football. Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions League winner. I have done it two times and would love to add a third.
A man the pair were travelling with has been taken into custody, and early reports suggest that Ronaldinho and his brother believe that they were tricked by the arrested individual.

Diego Costa marked his first Atletico Madrid goal of 2020 by paying tribute to Virginia Torrecilla - a midfielder for their women's team - who had surgery for a brain tumour. Costa celebrated equalising in a draw with Athletic Bilbao by holding a shirt with Torrecilla's name and number. Torrecilla had a successful operation to remove a brain tumour in May. Bilbao captain Iker Muniain had opened the scoring in the 37th minute only for Costa to level two minutes later.

Burnley's last two Premier League draws at Turf Moor have come on 2 February, drawing 1-1 with Southampton in 2019 and goalless today against Arsenal.

Nimes are 18th and in the relegation play-off spot, three points behind St Etienne in 17th. The top five sides in Ligue 2 are separated by just four points, with Lorient and Lens currently occupying the automatic promotion spots. The LFP had previously met on 10 April and voted to resume the Ligue 1 season. However, Philippe said: "The 2019-20 season of professional sports, including football, will not be able to resume.
Rennes had a crucial match against 2nd placed Marseille at the weekend and could have made a real sign of intent for the season with a win. They controlled much of the match but were truly done by a Marseillaise smash-and-grab as the visitors scored a scrappy winner just before the end of play.
Germany playmaker Ozil kicked his gloves in frustration after being withdrawn in the 59th minute of Arsenal's 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium. Ljungberg, who took temporary charge of Arsenal for the final time in Saturday's goalless draw at Everton, revealed Ozil would have been dropped from the travelling squad had he not been injured.

He repeated the trick five years later in a 3-0 win at United. The chilled celebrationCantona nonchalance A celebration so glorious in its simplicity. After a magnificent - and iconic in its own regard - lob over Sunderland goalkeeper Lionel Perez in December 1996, the Manchester United hero stood nonchalantly puffing his chest out before holding his arms in the air. Earlier this year he said his celebration was revenge for fellow Frenchman Perez refusing to shake his hand before kick-off.
Pablo is an experienced player who will provide us with additional defensive quality,” Arsenal technical director Edu told the club’s website. We have been monitoring Pablo’s career for a while and we are very pleased to have reached agreement with Flamengo for him to join us initially until the end of our season.
The club's desperate financial straits have prompted chairman Ambrose Rachier to not only make the appeal but to turn to his bonga points as well. These are reserves a lot of people are not aware of," Rachier told BBC Sport Africa. For example, I discovered I had 80,000 points which I've converted into 25,000 Kenya shillings ($235) which I have contributed to the fund. The club's financial problems - which some fans lay at Rachier's door - began late last year when betting firm SportPesa withdrew their sponsorship of the club following a local ruling which raised taxes on gambling stakes.
Away from home they have won three of their last six league games, but the most telling stat comes from their record against the traditional Big Six. They have lost none of their five matches against the other Big Six sides, winning three of them. This includes being the only side so far to take a point off Liverpool and victories against Spurs, Manchester City and Chelsea.
It is not as if they are particularly reliant on any one area either as, while they have both a solid enough defensive and offensive record, they are not near the top of either table. One area they do appear highly on however is the away records, as Woking have claimed 21 points from their 12 outings, which is a record which is only two points less than the side who have the best return on the road.
A couple of things then ensued: firstly, speculation started about where he might be going next, fans of goal-shy and striker-light clubs said things like “yeah, I’d take him”, and people thumbed through the rulebooks to figure out for which teams, in which leagues, he would be allowed to sign for. Journalists mused about what a shame it was that this phase of Sturridge’s career seemingly hadn’t worked out, and started thinking about articles on a talent not quite realised.
Their record at this ground is also a worry, as Reading have won just once in their last eight visits to Wigan. We don’t expect that record to improve here, especially with the away side on a downward spiral in the league and on a winless run on their travels.
Peterborough and Southend will face each other in the upcoming match in the League One. Peterborough this season have the following results: 15W, 7D and 9L. Meanwhile Southend have 3W, 7D and 19L.

Southend is just 2nd from bottom in the league with only 8 points won by them all season long and really little chances to be avoiding relegation as they are very weak in defense, they have two draws with 2-2 in their last two home games with Rotherham first and MK Dons just a few days ago while away from home they lost 4-2 away from home at average Bristol Rovers and lost 3-2 at bottom of the league Bolton side as well, so really poor defense but decent attack as they have nothing to lose.
