Given the defensive credentials of Thursday's opposition, this game is nothing other than a big opportunity for Almeria to continue scoring at a pleasing rate. Punters can profit by siding with 'Almeria to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. Not only have Oviedo, who have the worst away defensive record in the division, conceded two or more in seven out of 11 on the road, shipping multiple goals in each of their three away games against teams currently in the top six, but Almeria have scored multiple goals on a regular basis at home, notching two or more in four of their last five at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos. Ultimately, when the best attack in the division faces one of the worst defences on Thursday evening, home goals are fancied.
Edouard netted before Griffiths' third, then Callum McGregor converted a late penalty as Celtic edge closer to a ninth consecutive title. Neil Lennon's side - who have played two more games than Rangers - have won 12 of their 13 domestic games in 2020. St Mirren, meanwhile, slip to 11th and are now just three points clear of bottom side Hearts. Reaction & as it happenedNo complacency, no surprises Any chance of a shock St Mirren victory looked slim.
On the night, there was little to suggest that they were capable of that. Not only have their West Lothian rivals been formidable at home but the Paisley side have also been pretty terrible on the road. Goodwin's side may have claimed a point at McDiarmid Park and Easter Road in recent weeks, but that's about it. And, in their 13 away games in the Premiership, they've picked up just five points from a possible 39.
For Swindon, it was a return to the scene where they thought they had secured promotion three years earlier before breaches of league regulations, predominantly involving illegal payments to players, took it away from them. Swindon - led by player-manager Glenn Hoddle - took a 3-0 lead, with Hoddle netting the first, and looked set for a routine win early in the second half. Glenn Hoddle (second from right) masterminded Swindon's promotion to the Premier LeagueBut Leicester roared back as Julian Joachim, Steve Walsh and Steve Thompson all scored in the space of 12 minutes to make it 3-3.
It's obviously concerning that Los Leones were walked over at will in the first 20 minutes against Betis, but they have otherwise been watertight defensively this season, especially at San Mames where they have kept five clean sheets from eight and conceded just three times.

Their elimination came after a labored win over SuperSport United, where they needed an own goal to collect maximum points. Arrows are unbeaten in their last three PSL matches but in the last 10, they have won just three. They have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 11 PSL matches and in the last five league games at home, they haven’t netted more than a goal in the last five.
After Adam Masina drove the home side ahead and Roberto Pereyra coolly added a second, Everton looked fully out of sorts, before two goals arrived in first-half added time from central defender Yerry Mina. Fabian Delph's dismissal for two yellow cards in 13 second-half minutes looked set to temper the away side's comeback, only for Walcott to nudge home in the 90th minute and move the Toffees to ninth in the table, their highest position since September.

FC Slutsk and Ynergetyk-BDU Minsk are two teams that are playing a high scoring football in the Vysshaya liga in Belarus. FC Slutsk are the current league leaders with 16 points, having won five matches from seven games played thanks to their impressive offense that has scored 14 goals already, as the best offensive team in the league. FC Slutsk have combined seven goals in their latest three matches played against Dinamo Minsk, Belshina and Soligorsk. Slutsk should score at least two goals against Ynergetyk that conceded five goals in their last three away matches. I expect visitors to find the net too and choose over 2.5 here.

Best finish: Winner (1984)Another who only graced one tournament, but what a way to do it.

Chinandega will against Real Esteli in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win or draw for Chinandega. Chinandega have great result on last 3 match in league due to Chinandega have won in 2 match and 1 match is lose.

Therefore, I think that Chinandega can beat and have score is draw on this match due to Chinandega on last 3 match in the home only have lose in 1 match. Surely Chinandega have more chance to win on this match.

Jablonec scores most of its goals at home where they have a record of 6-2-1 this season with 22 goals scored but also 10 goals conceded so 32 goals scored in just 9 home games making an average around 3.5 goals scored in their home games, this while the guests even had the lead 3 times away at Sparta Prague recently but only drew that game 3-3 in the end as their defense is just as weak as strong they are at scoring goals.
In the top Israeli league today there will be a match between the team from Tel Aviv Bnei Yehuda and Hapoel Hadera. The home team is pretty much in the middle of the table and accordingly the last performances, they have 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 matches. Hadera is one place ahead of Yehuda in the table and could get at least one point here I believe. The form of both teams is almost the same and I expect an uncertain match here. In the games played by the visitors, it didn't take long for both teams to score, so I expect a draw here.

But we can go through to the quarter-finals and that is what we have to do. We have to be focused on that.

Government officials have said discussions over contact work at training grounds should take place fairly quickly. Barber feels these talks will involve greater detail than the initial discussions over the return-to-training protocol currently in place. However, he also expects them to take place in a different atmosphere given the reduction in the daily number of deaths. The first stage was difficult and took a long time because it was new, it was very detailed and when it was first conceived we were very much in the height of this pandemic and the numbers were horrific," he said.
It was preceded by a minute's silence for those who have lost their lives to coronavirus. This was a very different experience and environment - but we are living in a very different world to the one the Premier League left behind when Aston Villa lost 4-0 at Leicester City on 9 March. As you pulled off the M6 and headed towards Villa Park, you could see old haunts and gathering places were not the usual seething mass of claret and blue.
