Last season, Zurich finished seventh in the Swiss league. In the opening match of the 2019-20 season, they are played at home to welcome Lugano. There is a yard advantage but Zurich is only ranked by the house with the ratio of 0: 0. With this handicap, investors do not appreciate the ability of Ludovic Magnin to win 3 points. In fact, compared to Lugano, Zurich was underestimated in terms of reputation. H During the preparation for the new season, teachers and students Ludovic Magnin did not leave much impression. Specifically, in the last 3 friendly matches, they have lost 2. Last season, at home, Zurich reached the top teams with the lowest odds of winning.

I'm just focusing on my job," said Solskjaer on Tuesday. That's doing as well as I can and look forward to the next game, but also look long term, plan things with the board. Pochettino was linked with the United job before Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho, initially on an interim basis, at Old Trafford in December 2018 and has said he is "open to listen to projects" because he intends to "return to manage in Europe".

Meanwhile Guangzhou RF have 9W, 5D and 15L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Other targets emerging are Nuno Espirito Santo, Carlo Ancelotti at Napoli, and Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta. Paper Round’s view: Taking Arteta from Manchester City is also a risk, given he has no experience as a head coach and was not an exceptional player in any regard. Santo and Ancelotti have both impressed in the Premier League and perhaps Ancelotti is less attractive given his likely salary demands, and that he is more of a steady hand than a coach to lift a whole side in disarray.
Barcelona moved within a point of leaders Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a narrow win at Real Valladolid.

Burnley have not been the best side to bet on when playing away from home. They have this season taken heavy defeats at Tottenham, Sheffield United and Chelsea as well as Everton. They have not performed well against Manchester City too, and with just four away wins in the season, we can’t bank heavily on them. On the other hand, City are very prolific at home. They are unbeaten in six home league matches, and have scored two or more in nine of the last 10 home league matches. City have also been scoring a lot in matches against Burnley and we feel a 2-0 pick in favor of Manchester City will do.

Through Keegan's astute recruitment, encouragement of an emerging generation of local talents and uncompromising commitment to attacking football, Newcastle became a Premier League force, later labelled 'The Entertainers' for their cavalier style. I used to come back to London and people would say, 'I don't support Newcastle, but whenever I know they're on TV I make sure I watch'," remembers striker Les Ferdinand.
Most of them fell to striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been in blistering form recently. However, if Calvert-Lewin wants to be among the best strikers in the country, a return of one goal in five chances just won't cut it. Did you know? Aubameyang has been directly involved in 38 goals in 38 Premier League appearances on Sundays (32 goals, six assists). Olivier Giroud: It may have been his first league start since the end of November, but Giroud doesn't seem to have lost his desire to score goals or lead the Chelsea front-line.

Inter Milan Even if he doesn’t join Barcelona, the Catalans may still have some influence over Aubameyang’s future. Inter Milan are also facing a potential exodus of forwards in the next transfer window. Lautaro Martinez has been linked to Manchester City as a potential replacement for Sergio Aguero or Gabriel Jesus, and at 22 would allow the Brazilian to take on the senior role.
Atlas have been so much inconsistent in this season. But lately they have been showing progress. They have won 2 of their last 5 matches and will be eyeing to avoiding a defeat here in this match. Morelia is underperforming lately, and it seems like the can’t secure victory to save their campaign. They need to come back on the track as soon as possible, however, they have a very good squad. They should play well against Atlas and will be confident to secure a victory. But I don't think that they can win here. I would go for a draw.
Away from home, Rotherham have been very good this term. They've claimed 19 points from ten travelling matches, which can only be bettered by Ipswich.

Quite simply, Rotherham have been very so-so on their own patch, where they've won three, drawn two and lost three.

There was no time to dwell on the result, the situation was already critical in terms of qualification. Scotland had just lost to the European champions, but an encounter with the world champions was less than 72 hours away.
Only this time, Jesus was on the left instead of Sterling, who was on the bench after his hamstring injury - Guardiola was waiting to use him, and what an impact he would have. City playing without a centre-forward gave Real something different to think about, as their two experienced centre-halves did not have a number nine to mark. I can see why Guardiola did it, because Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane would not have given Aguero or Jesus much space if they had led the City attack and I am not sure that role would have suited Jesus, in particular.
The statue's face was also covered by a shirt bearing the Swedish badge. I can understand that many people are disappointed in Zlatan's behaviour, but vandalising a statute is simply unworthy," Malmo deputy mayor Frida Trollmyr told AFP.

TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Daniel Sturridge leaves Trabzonspor due to ‘gambling’ ban It was late on Monday morning when the news came through that Daniel Sturridge had departed from Trabzonspor after his contract was terminated mutually. A couple of things then ensued: firstly, speculation started about where he might be going next, fans of goal-shy and striker-light clubs said things like “yeah, I’d take him”, and people thumbed through the rulebooks to figure out for which teams, in which leagues, he would be allowed to sign for.
Newcastle Utd U23 will host Fulham U23 for this fixture of the league. I believe, this is a very unpredictable league. Also, both teams have big fluctuations in this campaign. Yeah, Newcastle U23 have advantage at home stadium. However, they are not convincing team. They have two consecutive losses. Also, the hosts have less potential in attack in the last matches. Also, we have Fulham U23 who's is also not very good team in recent times. Nevertheless, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. I think, they have a real chance to fight for the victory. My pick - Fulham U23 to win.

Neman has a record of 1-2-2 so far after 5 rounds played of this season and it is a bit too much for a team at least middle of the league table material, watching them play very well in their only win of the season so far against a tough Vitebsk side winning the game with 2-0 at home, while they also drew 0-0 away at Soligorsk without really giving too many big scoring chances to their opponents. Last game from them was probably the weakest as they lost 2-0 away at Dinamo Minsk playing for the nil draw but conceded somewhere around the 60 minute, and the 2nd goal came at the last action of the game when the keeper was inside the opposition box and Dinamo scored with an empty net.
West Ham have not won any of their last seven matches. Liverpool have scored two or more in 12 of their last 13 league matches at home. Liverpool have won each of their 13 home matches in the league.

Tallinna Kalev is much of a weaker side than Trans Narva, but there is a great chance they will hold to a 0 x 2 result. Today we saw the unthinkable happen in Meistriliiga when Tulevik has beaten Paid with the odds over 16, yes that's a fact! Maybe the weaker sides got motivated watching that to happen, we never really know. Past results for the match in question are normally under 3.5 goals as it happened last time here at Kalev's 0 x 3. At the price of 1.91, there is quite a good value for this bet. 0 x 2 is my guess
