Heavy defeats by Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich were meted out, while Rangers' reintroduction to Europe didn't as much go with a bang but a nuclear explosion. In the picturesque city of Luxembourg, they suffered what some claimed was the worst European defeat by any Scottish club - and that's some tag. Progres Niederkorn knocked Rangers out of Europe and left manager Pedro Caixinha in a hedge remonstrating with furious punters post match.
Michel Der Zakarian's Montpellier side have been putting together a great run of form recently with them now unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions with three wins along the way. They've scored 14 goals and conceded eight in this time making it a great viewing for the neutral but despite the leaky defence, fans are ecstatic that their team currently sit 6th. They have been brilliant to watch recently with goals coming from all corners of the pitch but primarily from their front three of Andy Delort, Gu00e4etan Laborde and Florent Mollet. The trio have been on fire recently and have had a direct hand in nine of Montpellier's last 14 goals and will be looking to keep that up against the champions.
The result was never really in doubt but Defoe made sure when his smart turn coaxed Adam Cummins into clipping the striker's heels. Defoe tucked the penalty into the bottom left-hand corner for his 15th goal of the season and was substituted shortly after, with Gerrard keen not to over-exert the striker who will lead the line in Rangers' next two league games in place of suspended Alfredo Morelos. Aribo threatened a third on a couple of occasions, and 17-year-old midfielder Kai Kennedy came off the bench for his Rangers debut, but the match petered out as Stranraer departed with heads held high.
Palace saw out the victory in comfort as Bournemouth failed to mount any sort of serious pressure, to leave manager Eddie Howe and his side in serious trouble at the foot of the Premier League. Bournemouth simply too soft Hower's Bournemouth have won just two Premier League games in 2020Howe has received lavish praise for his work at Bournemouth over the years - but he has hit a brick wall as old problems are haunting The Cherries this season.
Perhaps the tactics were wrong, too; but credit to Southampton, who stuck to their plan and grabbed three points in style. Nathan Redmond of Southampton scores his team's second goal past Kepa Arrizabalaga of Chelsea during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Southampton FC at Stamford Bridge on December 26, 2019 in London, United Kingdom.
Bristol rovers is in terrible shape with their new coach and they failed to win with him on the bench and It is hard to believe for me they are going to break that winless streak without team which is in so much good shape as Doncaster is right now, also Doncaster defense on the road is very good so I don't think Bristol rovers is going to score a goal at all today and they will surely concede at least one, so who wants to go with safer bet, could try with under 2,5, or to combine under and Doncaster to win on high Odds!

On Saturday, Norwich return to Carrow Road, where they have endured a pretty miserable time since their summer promotion.

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust (THST) believes "there is still time" for the club to "do the right thing" following their decision to use the government's furlough scheme. On 31 March, the club announced 550 non-playing staff would take a 20% pay cut due to the coronavirus crisis. Chairman Daniel Levy said the club will use the government's furlough scheme in an attempt to "protect jobs". In a lengthy statement, THST urged the club to reverse their decision.
Malaga are in their 5 last league matches unbeaten and will like to maintain the record with this game, after 30 matches they are 12th position with 38 points. They managed to accumulate points away and try all possible to win at home and I believe they will try to get at least 1 valued point here.

Reports suggest Lampard is hoping Sancho might be lured to South West London by England teammates Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi. Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha is a possible alternative. The 27-year-old has looked set to move on from Crystal Palace for some time now, and looked set to join Arsenal last summer, though the North Londoners’ bid was rejected by Palace who deemed it to be too low.
He wants to be his own man'It takes a lot to frustrate Ndidi, described by those who see him behind the scenes at Leicester as one of the most laid-back players at the club. At Genk, he was nicknamed Teddy Bear because of his calm demeanour and ability to take being the butt of some of the team's jokes in good humour. But comparisons with Kante are one thing he struggles to smile about. Any time someone mentions it to him it does upset him a bit," adds Okeleji.
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 10 goals and four assists in Premier League London derbies. Chelsea v Burnley *Burnley have beaten Chelsea only once in the Premier League (D3 L7). Chelsea have lost their last two league home games. They have not lost three in a row since 1993. Chelsea's Christian Pulisic scored his first Premier League goal against Burnley earlier this season when he grabbed a hat-trick in a 4-2 win at Turf Moor but has only scored twice since.
FIFA said in a statement on Wednesday that it would "decide at a later stage when to schedule the new FIFA Club World Cup which was due to take place in June/July 2021. The decision comes after Euro 2020 and Copa America were pushed back a year, meaning the new-look 24-team Club World Cup will not launch in 2021 as the coronavirus pandemic takes continues to wreak havoc with the sporting calendar.

Great save from Pickford. He first pushed away an effort from Fernandes that he should have stopped but then moved across his line to stop the rebound from Ighalo with his feet. GOAL! Own goal from Maguire. They'll check in on VAR. Sigurdsson was offside behind Maguire but it did not hit him. Disallowed.
The club's basketball team have also agreed voluntary pay cuts. Real said the move was "depending on the circumstances that may affect the closing of the current 2019-20 sports season". It added the decision would help mitigate a decrease in income "as a result of the suspension of competitions and the paralysis of a large part of its commercial activities". It was announced last month that Barcelona players would take a 70% pay cut and make additional contributions to ensure non-sporting staff received full wages.

Asian Champions League games featuring Chinese clubs will be delayed until April and May due to coronavirus. Chinese clubs' matches in Perth and Sydney this month and in March have been rearranged after Australia imposed travel restrictions over the outbreak. After an emergency meeting on Tuesday in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, the Asian Football Confederation confirmed the new dates. The outbreak has killed more than 400 people.
Alongside our Chelsea win to nil forecast, we're tipping the Blues to win 3-0 for our correct score prediction. To compound their misery up front, West Ham's defensive performances have also been deteriorating, and the Irons shipped 3.0 goals in each of their last three Premier League outings.
Dordrecht and Eindhoven FC will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Dordrecht this season have the following results: 2W, 6D and 14L. Meanwhile Eindhoven FC have 7W, 4D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Norwich may have played two good games by their current level against both Arsenal and Tottenham getting themselves two 2-2 draws at home in recent games but they have also lost recently at home 2-1 against both Sheffield Utd and Wolves and also even a 2-0 loss against bottom of the league at the time Watford side, so I really do not trust them that much especially against lower rated opponents as they do seem to play above their abilities against top opponents even beating City 3-2 at home in early stages of this season.
Real said earlier on Thursday that it had sent all of the members of its soccer and basketball teams home into quarantine after one of the sports club's basketball players tested positive for the coronavirus. Juventus defender Daniele Rugani tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, leading the Italian club to quarantine their entire squad.
Rudi García's Lyon side are still to really get going under the Frenchman but they got the win at the weekend, beating Strasbourg 2-1 in a rather drab match in the east of France. Since the arrival of the manager, Lyon have been very good going forward but rather lacklustre at the back. They have 14 goals in their nine games under García, which is a solid ratio for a team aiming to finish rather high up the table. However, many feel they should be doing even better than that with the players they have at their disposal, like Memphis Depay, Houssem Aouar and one of Europe's most wanted strikers Moussa Dembélé.
Barca and Real have problems tooBarcelona have been heavily linked with Inter Milan's 22-year-old Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, who has a £97m release clause in his contract. But it seems that transfer activity for La Liga rivals Real Madrid will be much quieter this summer having spent a hefty £300m on new players, including Eden Hazard, last year. There will be loan deals and a lot of swap deals but they are so difficult to put together," said Balague.
At the age of 21, Bruno Fernandes walked into one of Italy's most famous clubs and declared he would be wearing the number 10 shirt. The Portugal midfielder, now 25, is poised to join Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in a £47m deal which could rise to £67. After joining Novara in Italy from Boavista at the age of 17, without having played a first-team game in Portugal, he moved to Udinese. He stayed for three years before causing a stir on his arrival at Sampdoria by taking on the jersey forever connected with club legend and current Italy boss Roberto Mancini.
Klopp's side are running away with the Premier League title, dropping just two points all season, while Atletico are fourth in La Liga, 13 points behind leaders Real Madrid. Atletico are not the Atletico team they were before, when they had that team of warriors - all fighters who were typical Diego Simeone players. They had a nasty side," says Terreur. I watched them play Real Madrid and it was a very boring game, you see a team that is not a team any more.
Incheon united started this season very bad with 2 draws and a defeat but the thing for huge worry is that they still did not scored a goal in this season and I Think it is time for that to change tomorrow and I surely think just one goal is not going to be enough for Incheon to get the win cause on the other side Pohang is better team then them and big favorite for the win tomorrow,the odd on Pohang is similar to this odd but for me it is much safer to go with both teams to score
I do not really get it why odds are so big on the home win here as for example OFI has no less than 7 defeats in a row away from home at this moment and one of those defeats was even in the cup at 3rd league club Kavala where they ended up losing the first leg with 2-0 in the end but made a big win at home and so qualified further in the cup but so many defeats in a row for them away from home it is clear they have a big problem at this moment when it comes to playing games away from home.
Seongnam comes from an away win against the recently promoted Gwangju FC for 0 x 2, Incheon from a zero goals at home against Daegu at home. Incheon's matches tend to have less goals than the average in South Korean K1, and to confirm that we can see last season's clash between these 2, we had one 0 x 0 and one 0 x 1 at Seongnam's home. Seongnam only scored 25 goals last season over the 33 matches and conceded 36, so one more indication for this safe under 2,5 goals. We will probably see a 1 x 0 here
Brest and Nantes face each other for the first time this year. Starting with the foreigners, they started very well the season with great results nobody was expecting. They were in first place for while and then second. In the last couple months things started to fall apart as it was expected. Others teams started to settle in and Nantes is not really one of the best, so they started losing a lot. Brest came from Ligue 2 not too long ago but they are doing great. They have a team that doesn't feel strong but plays strong. I predict a draw
Emmen vs Sparta Rotterdam predictions for Sunday's match in the Eredivisie. Hosts Emmen look to close the gap between themselves and their mid-table rivals Sparta Rotterdam to just 2pts when the pair lock horns in the Eredivisie on Sunday. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
On top of backing the hosts to avoid defeat, we’re backing them to claim a draw on Thursday. This group is finely poised, with the four sides looking pretty equal based on their results so far. Roma come into this clash having seen both teams score in their last three group games, while they’ve drawn two of their last three outings. They were set for a third consecutive 1-1 draw in this group before a 90th minute Gladbach winner last time out, so a 1-1 draw is our correct score tip here.
He drives into the box, to the byline, and then slides a pass into the six yard box for Abraham to tap in. GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Lille (Azpilicueta). The Chelsea captain meets Emerson's corner from the right wing at the near post, and he glances a powerful header past the 'keeper, who has no time to move.
The reigning Premier League champions have been hit with the remarkable punishment over Financial Fair Play regulations. UEFA's full statement on why they punished Man City with Champions League ban LIVE reaction to City's massive punishment The punishment is subject to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and while saying that the decision left them "disappointed but not surprised", City confirmed that they would take the case forward in a bid to have the drastic punishment reduced.
Man City needed victory over relegation-threatened QPR on the final day to edge out rivals Manchester United, who were away at Sunderland, on goal difference. Pablo Zabaleta gave City a first-half lead but, in an atmosphere of near hysteria, QPR equalised through Djibril Cisse then, despite losing Joey Barton to a red card, went ahead through Jamie Mackie. Manchester United were winning at Sunderland and winning the title as the board went up for five minutes of stoppage time.
In a joint statement, the EFL and PFA said the move was a "recommendation and not a directive as there are clubs who have stated no requirement to take immediate action at this time". In addition, the two bodies said that they will "form a working group of six club captains/PFA delegates from the third and fourth tiers, supported by a representative nominated by the PFA, to engage in dialogue in respect of players' wages".
Nimes head to this game with a very inferior run and it is not helped by their poor run at home. They face a Reims side on a much better run and definitely the favorites here. Nimes are not very prolific upfront; they have failed to score in seven of their last 15 matches while they have no clean sheet in the last five Ligue 1 matches. On the other hand, Reims do not score a lot of goals; they have scored two or more in just two of the last 15 matches and only four of their last 15 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Based on this, we will go with a bet of under 2.5 goals for this clash.

Was Kylian Mbappe paying Erling Braut Haaland a compliment or having a little dig?The France striker led his Paris St-Germain team-mates in mimicking Haaland's trademark 'Zen' celebration after knocking the Norwegian striker's Borussia Dortmund team out of the Champions League. After celebrating on the pitch in front of empty stands at a Parc des Princes closed to spectators because of coronavirus, Mbappe encouraged his jubilant team-mates to strike the same pose in the changing room for an Instagram live video.
