We have studied the economic effects of not completing the season, but on a sporting level we aren't even considering it," Tebas said. We won't have to think about that for a few weeks. We won't start that debate now as it would be sterile and only generate conflicts of interest such as we have seen in other countries.

Getafe drew a blank at home to Osasuna in a 0-0 stalemate before the international break; however last season's 5th placed side have been moving nicely into contention over the past month or so with 13 points accrued from their last six games. Pepe Bordalas' charges take on an Espanyol side this weekend who have lost all six of their home matches this term, and we think the in-form visitors are well priced to inflict further pain upon Periquitos at RCDE Stadium.
I think the away team have better chances to take this win and my bet is the 2 FT. The teams are Rakow and Jagiellonia and this is a match in Poland for the best league. The match will be played in neutral location and this is a match where the hosts have 19 points after 16 matches played and guests have 26 points. Hosts did bad lately with 2 defeats and only 1 win in last 4 matches and so I don't see them well. The guests are coming from a win and did 3 wins in last 5 matches.
Paul Pogba's future continues to divide Manchester United fans, but Peter Crouch thinks the club should "build a team" around the France midfielder. Crouch joined Danny Murphy on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday to analyse Pogba's return to action after almost three months out with an ankle injury. United slumped to a disappointing defeat against the Premier League's bottom side but Pogba, 26, impressed when he came off the bench for the final 26 minutes, when his side were already 2-0 down.

Ndidi more than just a destroyer now Ndidi has made 70 tackles in the Premier League this season, the most by any player.

The 3-0 loss to the German champions at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their last-16 tie was Chelsea's heaviest ever margin of defeat in a home game in European competition.

Black Leopards have a very poor run going to this game. They have the least wins in the PSL this season (five) and have the worst defensive record, having conceded 35.

Two wins from their remaining two games will seal a 100% record and another one for the history books. What records have they broken? The most important stat has already been achieved of course - Premier League title #1 was achieved last month.

In the first Syrian league, Al Ittihad and Al Wahda will meet on this match day. I see a good chance of a completely open game here, that's why I bet on the draw after 90 minutes. The basis for this tip is the collected results in head to head but also the prospect of very few goals. Both teams sit 5th and 6th place on the standings respectively and collected a total number of 37 and 35 points. Al Ittihad have not lost in the last 8 games and 4 of them ended in sharing spoils. Al Wahda have not lost in the last 6 games and 4 of them ended in draw. 3 of the last 5 direct meetings also ended in draw.
We know there are going to be difficult times for people and their families with regards work and income," said captain Ben Mee. The club is behind people in the community, as the players are. The boys wanted to do their bit to help out. And if there is a need for other things we will look at that. ChelseaNHS hospital staff are to be put up in a hotel owned by Chelsea. The club said the Millennium Hotel at Stamford Bridge will be made available to medics in north-west London.
For me football is an easy target sometimes," he told Sky Sports on Tuesday. It's unfair to call on any individual or footballers. I know players do a great amount of work in the community and players are doing a lot to help this situation.

I was never treated any differently, they used to bounce me off the cage walls and that toughened me up – I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'd like to think I'm a bit better than all of them now and I know they are very proud of me but I have a lot of thank them for. The Toffees welcome Chelsea this weekend in the WSL after winning three on the spin, with victories over Brighton and Tottenham sandwiching a historic triumph against Liverpool at Anfield.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche says a 'White Lives Matter Burnley' banner flown over Etihad Stadium was "a moment nobody wanted" but believes people are becoming "more educated in life".

It was my decision to let the captain speak but a number of players wanted to," said Dyche.
It currently does not have a date after it was postponed from April 18. There's no date for the Copa del Rey final. We're looking at May 30 but we can't seal anything.

I thought Ancelotti's side were very unlucky not to beat Manchester United last weekend - I know Gylfi Sigurdsson was lying close to United keeper David de Gea but he was not obstructing his view - so I can see why the Toffees boss was unhappy with that decision. But I am going with Chelsea here. Most of their problems at home this season have come against lesser teams and I think they will be fully focused this time.
Last 3 game between them ended all of them with even 6 or 7 goals being scored in them for example when they met at Rapid earlier this season it ended up in a high scoring draw ending 3-3 in the end while last season as both were part of the same relegation group the game played here ended in a 4-2 win for the guests while at Rapid it was actually Hartberg who won the game with 4-3 in the end so as you can see really high scoring games between them played last year in the league.

Lampard said he played three central defenders to snuff out the threat from Spurs' ability to get their attackers behind the back line, while the use of wing-backs helped to stretch the hosts' typically compact defence. We had an element of protection in the way it worked but it also allowed us to have loads of control of the ball," he said.
The PGL said it wanted to work with established tours rather than as a breakaway circuit, but the U. S. PGA Tour and European Tour have been all but dismissive about the proposed circuit.

Only one team can qualify from each of the four groups in the Taca da Liga and even with a weakened starting eleven, you would fancy Porto to do enough to ensure they progressed through to the knockout stage.

Oskarshamns AIK has just finished the 2019 season, they have performed very badly when they only ranked 13th in the Swedish 2nd division (Södra region) - the position must be relegated. However, right at the most important moment of the season, Oskarshamns AIK got the focus and a little luck, they got the ticket to stay with the Swedish 2nd division. In particular, they defeated Berga - the top team in the play-off group in the third division of Sweden.
Newcastle scored at least once in four of their last five Premier League home games with the team's threat from set-pieces a particularly potent weapon, and we're backing the Magpies to make the most of that avenue against a City side that regularly struggle to defend dead-ball deliveries into their box.
Wolfsburg have scored in seven of their last 10 matches but in Bundesliga, they have the second least goals, at 13.

BATE began the new league season with two defeats, both in away games. Since then though, they have won four out of five games and reached the final of the Belarus Cup. A form guide for the last five games in this league has them top of the table with nine goals scored and one conceded. That came in their 3-1 home win over Neman Grodno at the weekend.
Neither side is on the top of their game defensively at the the moment and the lack of form from the hosts overall combined with Exeter’s troubles on the road means the win-draw-win market is best avoided. Instead, we go to the goals market and given that neither side looks capable of a clean sheet in this fixture, backing both teams to score looks to be the way to go.
Coronavirus got to football. In general, the request of the Italian Football Federation to conduct matches without fans is half advisory. But the players and the leadership of the clubs are well aware that it’s not worth the risk and this match the Roman “Lazio” will hold at home without fans. As for football itself, the Roman club is only one point behind the leading Juventus, which began to lose points more often than last season. The leader of the home team, Ciro Immobile, is leading the scorers, ahead of Ronaldo by six goals, and in the last round against the SPAL, the Italian distinguished himself again. This “Lazio" in this season may swing at the championship. “Bologna” confidently holds in the middle of the tournament table and regularly scores points, sometimes beating powerful teams. It is interesting whether “Lazio” will extend its unbeaten run in the championship, which is already more than twenty matches? No doubt, the lack of fans will affect the game, especially the game “Lazio”, which in its last matches spares neither itself nor the opponent. Of all their few points losses, the Romans committed it against the “Bologna” in the first round match, tied. But that was a completely different “Lazio”. Now the team of Simone Inzaghi has become stronger at times and, most likely, in this match the situation will turn out differently. Perhaps the heat in this game is not worth the wait, then the stands are empty.
Boss Karl Robinson says Oxford United can pay a fitting tribute to the club's "greatest ever manager" Jim Smith when they face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Smith, who led the U's to the top flight for the first time in the 1980s, died at the age of 79 on 10 December. A minute's applause will take place before Wednesday's game kicks off. It gives us an opportunity to pay our respects to Jim and what he achieved," Robinson said.
Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection. In the face of this unprecedented adversity, all the stakeholders within the game from players, fans, clubs, owners and administrators need to step up and share the pain to keep the game alive. Taylor donates £500k Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor has donated £500,000 pounds to the Premier League players' fund for the NHS.
I think if fans can see the referee (reviewing the incident) then psychologically they are seeing something happening rather than waiting for (VARs based in) Stockley Park to make a decision. That will be a discussion point,” he said. Video - 'VAR takes half an hour to see if there's a toe nail' - Klopp00:56 Masters said the league was in “constant dialogue” with IFAB, the game’s lawmaking body, over the use of VAR.
A few weeks ago, the Italian Cup looked as if it was the best chance for Napoli to secure European football next season. They were down in the bottom half of the table but have now climbed up to sixth. Napoli are only nine points behind the final Champions League spot, so a strong finish might just get them a top four place.
