Udinese look ripe for the picking by Lazio this weekend. The visitors are in awful form, coming here with three defeats in four away. Since January 2018, only Huddersfield (38) have lost more top-5 European leagues games than Udinese (37). The visitors have also been weak going forward this term, as Udinese have scored fewer than 10 goals at this stage of a Serie A season for the first time since 1993/94 (seven goals). The last time that happened they were relegated at the end of the season.

Shakhtyor were down in the bottom half of the table but have won their last two league games. They have scored ten goals in their last three league and cup fixtures and are yet to concede an away league goal this season. Vitebsk have lost their last two and dropped to eighth in the table. The away side have the confidence and can get the win here.

Valverde won the final; it was the most important piece of play. It was probably going to be a goal. I told him that he did what he had to do at that moment. What's more, despite being sent off, Valverde was also chosen by Spain coach Luis Enrique as man of the match. Not everyone favoured that decision, including Spanish newspaper AS. View more on twitterHow does Valverde's skulduggery rank? Luis Suarez's last-minute handball on the line was eventually rewarded as Ghana missed the resulting spot-kick and lost on penalties in the 2010 World Cup quarter-finalsOne of the archetypes has to be Valverde's compatriot Luis Suarez handballing on the line to deny Ghana's Dominic Adiyiah and wildly celebrating the subsequent missed penalty that saw Ghana knocked out of the World Cup in 2010.

Stranraer will host Montrose for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the visitors are favorites in this game. Montrose are more ambitious team in this league. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. Montrose have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. However, this is a very unpredictable league. I think, this will not be an easy task. On the other hand Stranraer is worst team of the league. Hosts have low potential. They have a very vulnerable defense. Perhaps, they will drop out of the league in this season. In any case, the hosts will try to fight for all three points.
Grasshopper against Aarau in match Switzerland Challenge League. My prediction this match could be won for Grasshopper with margin score is 1 goal. Grasshopper have good result on last 3 match in league due to Grasshopper have won in 1 match and 2 match is draw. Meanwhile, Aarau have also good result on last 3 match in league due to Aarau have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Grasshopper can defeat Aarau due to Grasshopper always have good result in every home match. Moreover Grasshopper only have draw in 2 match and 3 match is won on last 5 match in the home.
bookmakers overestimated the strengths of the Khujand who took second place last season, but you know there wasn’t a big difference between the second meta and middle peasants such as kuktosh, so the second place of Khujand last season was not an indicator at all, they were lucky with 2-3 matches instead of draws take the victory and voila you're second place. And in the last game, Khujand lost to an outsider in his field, having conceded 3 goals from him! A kuktosh is considered to be a stronger team than the khutlon to whom Khujand lost at home 2: 3, and the more so kuktosh plays at home, I think he will score more than 1 goal calmly, well, maybe they can eat

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggested on Tuesday it could be months before United's top scorer was fit for training again.

England's 1966 World Cup hero Sir Geoff Hurst has paid tribute to former West Germany goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski, who died on Sunday at the age of 84. Hurst scored a hat-trick past Tilkowski to help England win the final 4-2 at Wembley. The keeper also won the DFB Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup with former club Borussia Dortmund. Terrific player for his club, Borussia Dortmund, and country and a very fine man," Hurst tweeted.
A usually robust Foxes' defence has kept just two clean sheets in five attempts at home however and only two in eight Premier League matches overall, so while we expect Leicester to make home advantage count again on Saturday, we're tipping Southampton to register.
Luis Alberto fired Lazio in front with a low shot from the edge of the area in the 18th minute and set up the second for Joaquin Correa three minutes later as the hosts extended their unbeaten Serie A run to 21 games. Bologna had two goals disallowed in the second half, one for handball and then one for offside following a VAR review.
In terms of a correct score tip, we think that it could prove to be a closer match than the league table might suggest. As discusssed, we do expected the hosts to find the back of the net but the fact that they concede an average of 2.17 goals per game on home soil suggests they face an uphill challenge to get the points. With this in mind, backing a 2-1 away looks to be the most likely result.
