Toulouse shouldn't be awfully difficult opposition for Nantes here though as Antoine Kombouaré's men have been playing with a lack of quality, confidence and ultimately points. They have lost each of their last four games in Ligue 1 and are quickly turning into a laughingstock at the back. Kombouaré has taken charge of five games in the league now and even though they won their opening fixture against Lille, it has been a rapid reality check for les Violets.
This two teams we can say that an over of 2.5 total goals is a very good and sure prediction as looking at the last games this two teams have played with other opponents they are very used of scoring an over of 2.5 total goals and so this game we can say that the trend will continue in this game
I do not agree with bookmakers for this duel. Southampton has two victories in a row, at away against Aston Villa and in last round against Chelsea, but despite that, Southampton will have a strong pressure from domestic crowd, because they disappointment them so many times in current season, actually they have only two victories and one draw at home ground. Crystal Palace plays well at home as at away, in last round, they won against West Ham, and they are five points above Southampton at standings, no doubt they will be strongly motivated to avoid defeat in this duel. Match without winner
Progressive carries measures the number times a player brings the ball at least five metres upfield, and a number defenders - rather than traditional 'dribblers' - make this list as a result. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson leads the way and the presence of Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the top 10 it suggests this is a tactic effectively employed by the league leaders. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are redefining the way full-backs play," former Reds striker Peter Crouch said on Match of the Day 2 earlier in November.

Bass was on hand to help Lineker when he broke his wrist during a friendly in Vancouver before the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Is there a sight in football better than seeing a goalkeeper scoring in injury-time?Former Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard did just that in the Swedish top flight for Helsingborg. Trailing 2-1 in injury time at Falkenbergs, the 36-year-old Danish stopper darted up the field to convert a corner with a perfect header and salvage a point for his side.

Greece top league. Team Atromitos will play at home with team Larissa. Both teams are in the top of relegation group. And they are having any big motivation on this match.

Add in the fact the government's furlough scheme ends in October, and it's clear the prospect of playing in empty stadiums is seen as not economically viable for even some in the second tier. Championship clubs have been issuing dire warnings. Ayr United say some could "revolt" or go into administration if forced to play behind closed doors, chiming with Queen of the South's assessment of "financial suicide" if games go ahead without subsidies in place.

Home team is have better chances to win in this match from Germany Bundesliga, but we will see what will happen. Both of rivals are teams who are have bad defense and in the same time, their attacks are on pretty solid level. Augsburg was had 3-1 lead against Dortmund and lost 3-5 not so long ago, while Werder is in Bremen, at home, lost in previous round against Hoffenheim 0-3, even after first half it was 0-0. I believe in plenty of chances in this match and at least three goals. I will try this option, it is very real.

In recent weeks, Lincoln's goal-scoring problems have alleviated somewhat. The Imps have notched a pleasing eight goals in their last three matches, which given where they were not long ago, is excellent. However, this increase in forward productivity have coincided with an increased in defensive vulnerability. Lincoln have conceded seven in their last three matches, while they're now without a clean sheet in five matches. They were conceding the odd goal before but were generally tough to score lots against.
Without a win in 4 league matches, confidence cannot be high in Fylde ranks and they desperately need to find improvement. The hosts have won just 7 of their 26 league matches so far this season and having conceded a big 41 times, it's not hard to see where problems are stemming from.

Assisted by Wilfred Ndidi. Marco Silva's measured tones disguised the inner turmoil he must surely have felt after VAR inflicted the cruellest of cuts on an Everton manager who appears to be surviving on a game-to-game basis. Silva will have glanced up at the clock at The King Power Stadium as the board showing three minutes of stoppage time went up - three minutes away from a draw with title-chasing Leicester City that could have provided respite, albeit briefly.
Interim coach Hansi Flick has earned bonus points for successfully managing the situation and looks closer than ever to getting a permanent deal. But he knows his team cannot let off as they did in their German Cup round of 16 game on Wednesday when they were leading 4-1 but allowed Hoffenheim to score twice late in the game.
Erling Braut HaalandGetty Images Paper Round’s view: One below-par game will not detract United, particularly given Haaland’s record already this season. The 19-year-old has been sublime, but there will always be worries about how a forward playing in the Austrian first division would adapt to a tougher lead.
We already know they are capable of doing that when they are not at their best. Prediction: 0-1Lawro's full predictions v Sports Team drummer Al Greenwood MATCH FACTSHead-to-headThe Reds can equal their longest top-flight unbeaten streak versus a single opponent of 19 matches.

Speak to any of the former players, and they all mention the "wee hut" that the club calls home, just off Fords Road in the west of the city. Miller talks about it being "filled with trophies and pennants from all over the world". Townsend talks of the competitive atmosphere that permeated the place. Finnbogason, who moved to Edinburgh with his family as a nine-year-old while his father did a business degree, has another memory.
Stuttgart will ay Against Hamburger in the German Bundesliga 2. If Stuttgart can win this match they can enhance their auto promotion possibility. But they are not in good form and have not won after the break. Their away form is awful but they are the best home team of the league. They only failed 4 times to pick all 3 points from home matches so far. They also have won 5 of their last 7 home matches. Their last defeat in this ground was against Holstein Kiel and that too was in last year. But they were thrashed by Hamburg in the last h2h match where they lost 6-2.
We’re Spurs. He’s José Flippin’ Mourinho. Even when it goes well for him, he’s gone in a couple of years, and it hasn’t gone well for him for a while. Also, the football sits somewhere between unwatchable and execrable. To dare is to do, remember. To do. To dare is not to hang around hoping the opposition fail to do.
Danny Ings opened the scoring, tapping in from close range after Shane Long's initial effort was saved by Villa keeper Tom Heaton. And Long could have added a second before Jack Stephens met James Ward-Prowse's corner to double Saints' lead with a towering header into the bottom right corner. Ings punished Marvelous Nakamba's loose control to add Southampton's third after the break. And while Jack Grealish's superb effort flew into the top right corner for the hosts to reduce the arrears it was not enough to prevent Saints from claiming their fifth win of the season.
A quick look at the league table may suggest that Harrogate are the most likely side to come out on top in this fixture, but the fact that they have only won three of their 13 away matches to date suggests it is not a result which can be relied upon. Instead, we think that the recent improvement by the hosts in front of goal combined with the fact that the visitors are rarely involved in a game where both teams fail to find the back of the net suggests that backing both teams to score is the way to go.
The Red Devils began the day in 10th, 10 points below fourth-placed Chelsea having failed to win two league wins in a row this season. Former United striker Solskjaer, who took caretaker charge of the team almost a year ago, also faced questions about his future in the build-up after former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was again linked with the Old Trafford club. Solskjaer's side were awful in the opening half, going behind to John Fleck's opener before Lys Mousset doubled the lead shortly after the break.
SONALDO' DESERVES ALL THE PLAUDITS The brilliant solo goal by Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min in the 5-0 win over Burnley, promoted Spurs manager Jose Mourinho to dub the player, 'Sonaldo, Sonaldo Nazario', a reference to the former Brazil striker Ronaldo. The weaving, high-speed dribble certainly did recall the ex-Barcelona and Inter Milan forward and raises the question as to whether the South Korean is not a little under-rated.
That made it 2-2 on aggregate and meant Olympiakos were heading through on away goals. But there was one final, dramatic moment to come when, with seconds left, the ball ricocheted into Aubameyang's path six yards from goal and, with just the goalkeeper to beat, the striker missed. Somehow. The Gabon international has scored 61 times for the club since his debut in February 2018 - a tally only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (64) can boast better among Premier League players But this time the usually deadly forward skewed his effort wide and, after a miss which left players from both teams with their heads in their hands in disbelief, Aubameyang himself was at a loss to explain what happened.
Bournemouth haven’t scored more than a goal in 12 of their last 15 matches. Bournemouth have one win in the last seven away matches. Bournemouth have managed just two clean sheets in the last 10 matches. Brighton have one win in 12 meetings with Bournemouth. Brighton have one win in the last eight matches.
Middlesbrough’s season has turned on a great run at the Riverside, which saw them win four on the spin at their own ground. That has inspired confidence for Boro, which has brought big away wins at Preston and West Brom in the aftermath.
