Ultimately, this is a match Boca really should be winning. On paper, they are a stronger side than Union in all areas of the pitch and with a big home support behind them, they should have more than enough quality to get the job does, a feeling that is more than reflected in the odds on offer as far as the betting goes.
Winning a world title is always appreciated but this isn't the way to crown a champion, improvements are needed. That being said, this should be a good final to decide the 'best club' in the world. Liverpool didn't have it all their own way against Monterrey and to be fair the game against Leicester on Boxing Day is far more important than this one. The absence of Virgil van Dijk won't help them against Flamengo. The Brazilians struggled against El Hilal so that doesn't bode too well for them here. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested bet.
Another match today from European Youth league where I will bet on goals and that is very very real for me. Midtjylland U19 is in last official match played just 0-0 against Zrinjski U19, team from Bosnia and Herzegovina, but this time, it will not be like that, and probably will be much more efficient. Lille U19 is coming in this match after three matches, in who was efficient on both sides, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-2. What will happen today, we will see, but in any case I believe in at least three goals. It is very real and ok to try.
They are extremely consistent - far more so than most of the teams immediately around them. It has helped to keep them in the top half since August and put them right in the race for European football. For a promoted team not only is that consistency outstanding, it is also quite unusual. I take my hat off to them.
The draft protocols refer to "additional risk assessment and precautions required for players at increased risk (co-morbidity)". On Wednesday, there will be a meeting between players, the Premier League, medical staff and the PFA. Government approval will need to be granted before teams can continue to the next stage of training, when contact would be permitted. I wouldn't feel comfortable watching football with current risk' Troy Townsend, whose son Andros plays for Crystal Palace, feels there is too much uncertainty for football to resume soonTroy Townsend, from equality and inclusion organisation Kick It Out and father of Crystal Palace and England winger Andros Townsend, says he understands players' concerns over the risk a return to action in the near future could represent to not only themselves but also their families.
Derek McInnes' side were booed off after passing up the chance to narrow the gap to two points, sitting four adrift after the Premiership stalemate. Jon Obika hit a post for the hosts, while the visitors looked blunt in attack throughout. St Mirren do move a point further away from second-bottom Hamilton, now two clear of the relegation play-off spot. Aberdeen had named new signing Matty Kennedy in the starting line-up, but in three games in 2020 they have yet to score from open play.

Frosinone has 4 wins in a row at home without conceding a single goal as they even defeated some decent teams like Empoli with 4-0, they won 2-0 against Chievo, also 3-0 win with Trapani and 1-0 win against Livorno and they are really great at home with a record of 5-2-0 in the league this season not to mention that they also won their first away game in the league away at Juve Stabia last round with 2-0 even, and also played at Parma pretty well in the Italian Cup competition losing narrowly.

Especially impressive were the notes for Oliver Skipp - who has started six games for Spurs - and Parrott, who has made one start.

As a little boy you want to save penalties and get your club through. Big emotions today.
TALKING POINT Silva hanging by a thread. Leicester's bid to confirm the murmurs that they could sneak their way into becoming Liverpool's main title rivals were enhanced here, with the type of belief and togetherness that was reminiscent of the ingredients that saw them crowned shock champions back in 2016.

An unlikely hiccup could be the FA Cup. Although Liverpool's kids impressed in the 1-0 win over Everton in the third round, the 5-0 pumping they took at the hands of Aston Villa in the League Cup was a bigger concern. Klopp will likely use the competition to rest his biggest names for at least another round or two.

Fernandes, who has two caps for Portugal, said he will settle in London alongside family who have already made the move. It's a hard story. My family, they came to London because in Portugal, work is very hard and it's very difficult to find work," said Fernandes. They did not have a brilliant life but they have a good life here and this is one more motivation for me to be here today. They will help me to settle here.
Duel between two sides who are in the same page when it comes to quality team and individual as same as experience.Both teams so far have collected 8 pts. Hai Phong and Gia Lai didn't start the season so well. They are having quite a few problems certainly especially at the back. They are having just too many holes and are doing way too many passing mistakes at the back. I expect one very even match without many goals and for sure a draw where at the end maybe one accidental goal to decide the winner but certainly I don't expect that too much

But it can also be one where dips or upturns in form can see teams either plummet or climb the table rapidly. A glance at the form guide for the bottom eight gives an insight into who is feeling the pressure and which clubs are giving themselves a fighting chance of survival.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer marked his 50th Premier League game in charge of Manchester United in style as Pep Guardiola's season hit a low point in Sunday's derby.

Leeds United 0, Wigan Athletic 1. Posted at 59' Corner, Wigan Athletic. Conceded by Luke Ayling. Another transfer window has come and gone with Premier League clubs shelling out millions of pounds to secure new signings. However, while British clubs have paid some big transfer fees this past month, none of them came close to surpassing the £89m paid to Juventus by Manchester United for Paul Pogba in 2016.
I think a lot of footballers were wondering, 'Is it something to do with money being involved in this?'. Why did we wait until Friday? Why did it take Mikel Arteta [Arsenal manager] to get ill for the game in England to do the right thing?" "After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made - until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs.

Atlético Madrid - FC GranadaGetty Images Koke's absence from the team coincided with their woeful slide in form, in which they lost to Eibar and Real Madrid, drew 0-0 at home to struggling Leganes and were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third division side Cultural Leonesa. For the first time in his eight-year spell with Atletico, the pressure was on all-powerful coach Diego Simeone, who this week was named by French newspaper L'Equipe as the highest earning manager in European football.
Playing matches behind closed doors is "sadder than dancing with your sister", says Spain manager Luis Enrique. Germany's Bundesliga became the first major European football league to restart after the coronavirus shutdown when it resumed over the weekend. No fans are allowed, substitutes and coaches are spaced out at a distance on the bench, and players are not supposed to celebrate goals together.
With Ousmane Dembele ruled out for up to six months - and Luis Suarez also sidelined - Barca are looking at several options, including Angel, who has a £7. Messi has now failed to score in four consecutive La Liga appearances for the first time since October 2013 to January 2014 - although he had set up Barca's previous six league goals before Roberto's strike. Real Madrid can re-establish their three-point lead on Sunday when they host Celta Vigo (20:00 GMT).
Against a Clarets team that might be a little punch drunk after their mid-week bout with Man City, Tottenham will expect to win this weekend, though Spurs' continued fragility at the back means that a clean sheet is unlikely.
Machine Sazi will host Tractor Sazi for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have the motivation to get all three points in this game. Yeah, Tractor is not very good team in this campaign. Also, they have a poor results in the last matches. However, Tractor is one of the ambitious teams in this league. Of course, they want to stay in the race for higher range. Machine Sazi is very average team. True, the hosts are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In any case, they have less potential than their rival. My pick - Tractor to win.
One point separates the sides going into this encounter with Hertha making a winning return on Saturday. A subject of derision for much of the season, Hertha looked like a side transformed under new boss Bruno Labbadia when they travelled to Hoffenheim last weekend. A slick performance led to a 3-0 victory for the away side with goals from Ibisevic and Cunha following an own-goal early in the second half.
Benfica haven’t failed to score away from home so far this season and Sporting have scored in all of their home games, so you can see why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1 this Friday. Exactly 3 goals have been scored in 43% of Sporting’s home games and in 29% of Benfica’s away games, suggesting that there is a good chance we will see 3 goals scored in Friday’s match. A majority of Sporting’s defeats this season (4) have had a 1-goal margin while a majority of Benfica’s wins (9) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more but 6 of their wins had a 1-goal margin, which is why we have backed a narrow 2-1 win for the visitors this Friday.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said that the position regarding the top flight "remains particularly complicated". Leaders Celtic are 13 points ahead of Rangers at the top having played a game more, while Hearts are four adrift at the bottom, with most teams having eight games still to play.

Everything he said came true. Delph expects Arteta to be a success at Arsenal, although he hopes it does not come at the expense of an Everton side who travel to Emirates Stadium on the back of an impressive run of form under their own new manager, Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffeemen have won five and drawn two of their eight games under the former AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss, which has taken them to within five points of fourth-placed Chelsea, another of Ancelotti's old clubs.
Sparta Praha will host Viktoria Plzen for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very ambitious teams in this league. Of course, both sides want to get a positive result. However, Sparta is very average team in this season. In any case, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. I think, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Viktoria Plzen who's is one of the best teams in this campaign. The visitors are in solid shape in the last matches. They have four consecutive victories. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory.
