Gil Vicente’s home games produce an average of 1.86 total goals and Guimaraes’ away games produce an average of 2.83 total goals, and the average of the two suggests that we will see two goals scored in Sunday’s clash. Only 29% of Gil Vicente’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in 57% of Gil Vicente’s home games and 83% of Guimaraes’ away games.
From captaining a club in crisis in his early twenties through to shining on Europe's biggest stage, Hakim Ziyech has experienced much on his journey from street footballer to becoming Chelsea's latest signing. The Dutch-born Morocco midfielder is poised to head to London this summer after Chelsea agreed a fee with Ajax that could rise to more than £36m. While any big-money transfer to the Premier League comes laden with expectation, 26-year-old Ziyech has already shown he is no stranger to adversity or pressure.
Cedric is a defender with good experience of the Premier League, and of course at international level," Arsenal's technical director Edu told the club website. He is another strong addition to our defensive unit who will provide our squad with quality. I know he is a player who plays with absolute full commitment and energy.
The German called for his side to show some pride and he will have been pleased with how they began at Vicarage Road. Buendia, who had earlier seen a free-kick tipped over by Ben Foster, scored his first Premier League goal when he collected the ball from Onel Hernandez's fine run, cut inside defender Adam Masina and curled the ball into the net from 15 yards out.
Spurs have changed manager since then, with Mauricio Pochettino succeeded by Jose Mourinho, who has two previous Champions League wins to his name - Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010. Their opponents RB Leipzig currently lead the German Bundesliga and have in Timo Werner one of Europe's most coveted strikers and in Julian Nagelsmann one of the continent's most promising young coaches. Chelsea face a tough tie against five-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich, who are reigning Bundesliga champions but sit fifth in the league and sacked manager Niko Kovac last month.
The Seagulls' stubborn defence was then pushed to the limit by waves of Burnley attacks. It seemed the home side had equalised again when Jay Rodriguez headed in - but a video assistant referee check ruled that team-mate Wood was offside. Despite defeat Sean Dyche has led his modestly-priced squad to a second top-10 finish in five Premier League seasons. Brighton's defence keeps Burnley at bayBrighton's style of play may have changed under manager Graham Potter, but one thing that has remained constant from the Chris Hughton era is the miserly defence.
The Blues have major issues, especially having gifted a win to the league’s worst travelling side. They are hardly in better shape in the cup, having won just twice across their previous 11 home matches in this competition. Current boss Pep Clotet oversaw a 3-0 loss at Leauge One Portsmouth in the League Cup in August, will he suffer another early exit?
Former Everton manager David Moyes has been considered as a potential interim successor, but the suggestion has sparked a largely negative reaction from supporters and it remains to be seen whether majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and his boardroom colleagues ignore that and invite the 56-year-old Scot to return. Moyes spent 11 years as Everton manager, and his return has been seen by fans as a retrograde step given his lack of success since leaving for Manchester United in 2013.
FC Barcelona and the Barca Foundation consider it a necessity that at this time of humanitarian crisis, the institution should use all its resources to fight against the coronavirus pandemic and its consequences. Spain is one of only four countries in the world to have more than 20,000 coronavirus-related deaths to date. Barcelona did not have a shirt sponsor until 2010 when they signed a deal with the Qatar Foundation, although charity Unicef had appeared on their shirts from 2006.
The predictions were flying about left, right and centre at the start of the season and few mentioned Wycombe in a positive light, though here we are. The Chairboys will spend Christmas day sat at the top of the League 1 tree and are starting to look like a side with eyes on the title.
Bournemouth have lost 11 of their past 15 games across all competitions (W3 D1). Arsenal have gone eight games without defeat away from home in all competitions (W2 D6 L0), their longest unbeaten run on the road since September-December 2018 (a run of nine). Bukayo Saka has both scored and assisted in three separate games for Arsenal this season (v Eintracht Frankfurt, Standard Liege and today against Bournemouth); no other player has done so more than once for the Gunners in 2019-20.
The club might also start to plan for life after their talismanic captain Troy Deeney, who turns 32 next month - an unenviable task given his importance over the past decade. Since only Crystal Palace have played an older average starting XI this season, Nigel Pearson could look to add some youth to the squad, with Ismaila Sarr currently the only young prospect anywhere near the first team. Bournemouth: Busy window aheadWhether Bournemouth stay up or go down, they will likely be one of the busiest clubs, with seven players set to leave.
Alonso proved to be fairly flexible during his time in Mexico, and his spell with Inter Miami could define him as a coach. The current squad contains a mixture of experienced MLS campaigners and promising youngsters whose value could rise during their time at the club. Scot Lewis Morgan, 23, will wear the number seven shirt after joining from Celtic, while World Cup aficionados might be familiar with 33-year-old Panama defender Roman Torres, who captained his country at its first World Cup appearance in 2018.

We saw that frustration and determination in the Japan game and I want to see that again against Spain," said Neville. The more she gets out there and the more she plays at that level, the better she will get because she is without a doubt one of our best players. Scott said Nobbs "will reach those highs she had before getting injured" with more games but feels like "she has never been gone". I know what Jordan is like and she probably puts herself under pressure but from the outside looking in, she wouldn't be starting for Arsenal or playing for England if she hadn't been putting in the performances," added Scott.
Former Cardiff City and Aston Villa midfielder Peter Whittingham is in hospital recovering from head injuries. The ex-England Under-21 international suffered the injuries after an "accidental" fall in a pub in Barry. At around 10pm on March 7, South Wales Police were called to a licensed premises in Barry," a statement read. A 35-year-old man from Penarth suffered a head injury as a result of a fall and remains at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.
And Liverpool's first game, whoever it is against, is not going to be too challenging. So, while much has been made of how they are probably going to play two games out there, I would look at the fact they are all together as a squad, and will be spending most of their time doing warm-weather training. From that point of view, it is a win-win situation. Before they fly off, the most important thing for Liverpool is that they sign off with a victory on Saturday.

Posted at 65' Attempt blocked. Christian Pulisic (Chelsea) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Posted at 64' Corner, Chelsea. Conceded by Steven Alzate. Aston Villa moved out of the relegation zone with victory against Burnley at Turf Moor despite having a goal ruled out for a marginal offside by the video assistant referee system system. Jack Grealish thought he had put Villa ahead, nodding in Ezri Konsa's cross, but striker Wesley was deemed inches offside in the build-up.
The home side are in 5th place on the standings with 46 points, equal to the score of Atletico Madrid, but more in goal difference / defeat. They are only one point behind the fourth-ranked Real Sociedad, so the opportunity to compete for the Champions League ticket next season is still very open for coach José Bordalás.

Paper Round's view: If there was ever any evidence needed that footballers are in desperate need of a rest then this is exactly that. It's an absurd decision to make a club play two matches in two days on two different continents, but obviously Liverpool needed to prioritise one of the competitions. There seems to be more money involved in the Club World Cup and it's a competition that clubs rarely get to play in (unless you're Real Madrid), so it makes complete sense that the Reds opted for that one.
Gareth Bale is also in Real's squad. Match statsBarcelona have won more La Liga games against Real Madrid than any other side (72), while Real have beaten Barcelona more than any other side in the competition (72). Real have not won any of their last seven La Liga games against Barcelona (D3 L4) - should they fail to win this game, they will suffer their worst such streak in the competition in Clasico history.
Major League Baseball said it would delay its season's opening day by at least two weeks, while motor racing's blue-riband Formula One season has also been stalled with the opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne called off, according to multiple media reports. The first round of golf's Players Championship at Sawgrass continued, however, although the PGA announced a ban on spectators at all its events through April 5.
The LA Times said Galaxy will announce the move later on Tuesday. The report said that Hernandez's contract is for three years and includes an option for a fourth and that he will be paid an annual base salary of $6 million. Hernandez, a three-times World Cup veteran, joined Sevilla from West Ham United in the English Premier League last September.
With both of Saturday’s sides performing to a very similar standard so far this season and their form heading into the match positive, we are expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes in Rotterdam. If the recent history between the two clubs and their results heading into Saturday’s clash are anything to go by then we will see plenty of goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch this weekend.
The prime minister is incredibly keen we land the World Cup. I want to see it here in the United Kingdom and Ireland. As you probably know we've got some talks going on with the devolved nations and Ireland, I met again with the FA last week to discuss the potential bid. It's a work in progress but I think if we have the opportunity of being the European host nation option, I think we've got a very good chance.
No one should be expected - or encouraged - to remain in a situation where they are being racially abused. His team-mates' intentions may have been well-placed but they were wrong. Want to help? Leave the pitch with him in solidarity. ZERO - the racists Again. HAT-TIP Miguel Delaney has delved deep into the corrosive influence of money on football.
You can be a really good manager but if you don't have the players to execute the plan, then you will struggle. Arteta has good attacking options but he still has weaknesses in central midfield and defence. They still need to bring players in.

RB Leipzig – Borussia Mönchengladbach - Bundesliga Match RB Leipzig vs Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga (2/17/2024): Live score, stream, statistics match & H2H results on Tribuna.com.
The home team Monchengladbach held host Leipzig with 2-2 to help this team not be abandoned in the race to the Bundesliga championship this season. They are currently in the fourth position on the table with 4 points less than the team currently headed by Bayern Munich. In this round, Monchengladbach will be back home to host Hoffenheim and a victory will surely help the team continue to chase the top 1 and they will keep a place in the group to participate in the Champions League next season. On the other side of the line, Hoffenheim was not in good shape when losing to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 2-3
This is my fourth option for today from Dutch second league and another match where I will bet on goals, what is very real and of course, I will try the same and here. So, NEC is team who is traditionally playing efficient against this rival and in last four matches against them, NEC is played 4-1, 1-2, 0-2 and 3-1. If we know that this two rivals are played on same level and in last few weeks than, it is pretty clear and real, to expect again tonight three or more goals. Of course, I will try that here.
Two teams without any relegation worries in this ending of the season and especially Santa Clara is very attacking minded as last round they even scored 4 goals away from home at league leaders at the time Benfica and won the game to everyone's surprise with 4-3 in the end, and they also won with 4th placed Braga with 3-2 at home after the restart and drew 2-2 at Setubal and 1-1 at home with Portimonense as well so odds of 2.60 on the over 2.5 goals are excellent.
It is a far cry from six weeks ago, when the Clarets were comprehensively beaten 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, leaving them three points above the bottom three and, in the minds of many a pundit, destined for a relegation battle. Not that Dyche's post-match mood gives much indication as to the rapidly changing fortunes of his side.
Shocker. A near-perfect Jose performance and they still lost Perfection is a relative concept. Jose Mourinho's MO in big games is simple: keep it tight and capitalise on an opponent's mistakes. Ergo, Tottenham's defeat against 2019-20 Premier League champions Liverpool was almost close to perfect. Spurs were resolute; they made one mistake - really - and were punished for it.
Top league scorer: Clint Dempsey (6). Other key men: Brian McBride, Diomansy Kamara, Danny Murphy. The Cottagers twice came back from the brink in 2008. Derby went down with what remains the Premier League's lowest points total (11) and with 20 minutes left at Manchester City, Fulham were about to join them. Roy Hodgson's men were 2-0 down and set to go six points adrift with two games left. Surely it was over?Diomansy Kamara had other ideas.
However, while the club view the current Official Supporters' Board (OSB) as a group featuring all sections of their support, Hammers United see it as being made up of representatives hand-picked by the club who do not articulate their demands strongly enough. West Ham do not want to meet Hammers United without the OSB being in the same room; Hammers United will not meet West Ham with it. There is no indication the impasse can be broken.
Some light relief. Can you name all the Ballon d'Or winners of the last 30 years? I can certainly name two. Try the quiz here! 10:35 - Serie A retreat to finish the season? Reports in Italy claim the Serie A are pondering the idea of moving all 20 clubs to Rome and completing the season in around 45 days this summer.
But it doesn’t make me anymore concerned that it’s December, no. Solskjaer slams 'blatant lies' Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has slammed the "blatant lies" after his future at the club was once more cast under the spotlight. I'm good, it's absolutely no problem," said Solskjaer. Sometimes you laugh when you read stories about what I've said and stuff.
But despite her unquestionable success as a player, she has been constantly overlooked internationally picking up just 16 appearances over the years, struggling with multiple injuries in-between. Another injury restricted her playing time early in the season, but Davison returned to the pitch quicker than expected – just eight weeks later.
It added on Twitter: "When you use homophobic chants you aren't abusing most Chelsea fans who will be straight, but all gay fans whether they support Chelsea or West Ham. We're better than that and can come up with much smarter chants that don't abuse our own fans. We shouldn't be the club appearing in the news for homophobia. Let's not join their ranks. Be better. Be West Ham. Support the whole West Ham Family, no matter race, gender, sexuality or anything else.
Player contracts, some of which end in June, could be an issue although world governing body FIFA has said it is looking into possible 'dispensations'. The problems facing Premier League clubs, who are among the rich elite of the world game, are minor compared to those facing lower league teams. They now face cash-flow problems with no ticket revenue.
