My pick for this match is over 3.0 goals. Match in Vietnamese CUP between Dong Thap vs Hai Phong. I think that this match will be offensive. Both teams are doing well and are in good shape and I think that they will score a lots of goals. I think that they will score 4-5 goals.

Hopefully, the midweek games will take place as ninth placed Brighton and Hove Albion host Manchester United who are fourth in the table. Brighton have 12 points and that has them six points above the bottom spot that would relegate them.

The flick, the finish, and the celebration that followed have made it one of the most famous goals in English football history - but it only sews sorrow in Scottish hearts. Paul Gascoigne's spectacular strike, and the sight of his team-mates sprinting to squirt water down his throat, is remembered fondly by England fans for far more than just being the moment that kickstarted Euro 96 for the hosts.
Main reason for taking this over 3.5 goals bet here is the H2H between them as earlier this season at Crystal Palace, Liverpool won the game with 2-1, but most important game for me while placing a bet in this encounter is the game from Anfield last season which Liverpool won very hard with 4-3 in the end. And Crystal Palace also defeated Manchester City on the road last season while this season they also got a point by scoring 2 goals there as well if I remember right.

Lifelong Wednesday fan Chris McClure told BBC Radio 5 Live his club's situation "shines a light on a bigger problem" within the league and its finances, and he now feels "numb" going to watch his side, with their season in limbo as they await their fate.
The bold Curtice would call this confidently and with a knowing smile.

Nov 25 (Reuters) - The owners of Olympique Lyonnais are in talks to buy National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) franchise Reign FC, according to the Washington State-based club, bringing added clout to the team amid an explosive year for U.

While he acknowledged that fans would travel more and therefore have a greater carbon footprint, he noted that several teams would keep the same base for the whole group stage.

Well it's a shame there is only 2 markets to tip on this match, as I would love to tip "both to score - NO" as it is of great value at 1.68 at the bookies. But let's keep it to 1 x 2 and this tip. It's a low od yes but still Ahal seems to be underrated at 1,25 so there is value here. Last year the 2 matches at Ahal ended 1 x 0 and 4 x 0. This match will go either 2 x 0 or 3 x 0 and I see no value backing under 2,5 at 1,55 so I'll stick to this one!
The visitors seem to have the pressure off them on the road, giving them a little more freedom in their away trips.

RATING: B - - - - - BURNLEY Sean Dyche's disregard for poacher-type strikers shows again as he's let Nakhi Wells go permanently having given him few playing opportunities (nine appearances in total) since his arrival in 2017.

My client deserves to be treated as an innocent man, until proven guilty. So far there hasn't been any solid evidence against him. The key point in the Premier League's eyes, however, is that he had not been found guilty of those allegations when he took charge. After he left the club, he was charged with corruption and he denied any wrongdoing. City's current Abu Dhabi owners, who replaced Thaksin in 2008, have also been accused of whitewashing their country's human rights record.
But build-up and patterns of play mattered little when Arfield stepped up to smash in his second stunner in four days to answer his manager's rallying cry to his midfielders for more goals to ease the burden on Morelos and Jermain Defoe. It should have been a jolt to the system but, other than that moment of magic, the opening half was a bit of a toil for Rangers. Morelos' header forced Jan Koprivec to stir, then Joe Aribo slashed a shot wide under pressure from Dario Del Fabro, and that was about the totality of the first-half chances for either side.

The time is now right to step away from this role and seek new challenges," Dr Chakraverty told BBC Sport.
