Expectations are always high for Sydney and, as they invariably do, they’ve lived up to these so far with five wins from six. Their sole loss came as a result of a controversial goal line decision and they’ll be full of confidence after three convincing wins in the past three weeks, putting them just a point behind Melbourne City at the top of the table.
Brugge had a runaway 15 point lead at the top of the standings with one round of matches left to play before the start of the post-season playoffs, involving the top six clubs.

The start of the lucrative Indian Premier League Twenty20 competition (IPL) has also been postponed until April 15 as a "precautionary measure" the Indian cricket board (BCCI) said.
All things considered, backing both nets to be hit simply has to be the way to play here and is something we're happy to do with maximum confidence. The last 3 matches between the two have seen goals at both ends and featured a big average of 4.66 goals per game and although we don't think this meeting will be quite as high scoring, we do think both will notch in a 1-1 draw; leaving it all to play for in the second leg.

In the end, we’re backing the home side to topple Sheffield United’s unbeaten away record. The Blades have ridden their luck at times this season, and with Wolves in such good form we think a 2-1 win for the hosts is a good option.
Remove the Brazilian from City's defensive line-up and a sense of panic is never too far away. Meanwhile, Arsenal quickly need a strong figure with a sizeable reputation at the helm and they should look no further than Carlo Ancelotti. Did you know? Fernandinho made five clearances and two interceptions as Manchester City kept a first clean sheet in 10 games in all competitions. Yerry Mina: Everton don't go to Old Trafford and win many games but with a little bit of luck they might have won this one.
Callum Hudson-Odoi will not face any further action on an allegation of rape, the Chelsea winger has confirmed. Hudson-Odoi, 19, was arrested on 17 May and released on bail. The England international wrote on Twitter: "At a time where there are bigger things happening in the world right now, you may also be aware of serious allegations that were made against me.

Smolevichy Sti is going to play against Dinamo Minsk. The hosts saved one point in the previous match against Belshina where they were losing 0:1 until 90th minutes of play. Then they scored a goal after penalty. The hosts are average and I don't think that they will win or draw against Dinamo Minsk. The visitors failed to win the previous away match against Vitebsk and they lost 0:1 but I hope that it was a mistake. They won against Zhodino at home 2:0 and now they will try to pick another three points. My bet here is Dinamo to win
Granted, they benefited from a failure of technology in their home draw against Sheffield United but having done so could easily have taken three points as opposed to one. They then almost burgled a win against Chelsea on Sunday, taking the lead despite having precious little of the ball, before the Blues rallied to turn the game their way. This may only be the second point they have taken from the last 21 avaialable to them but it is a timely boost, reminding them that they can mix it with some of the top-flight's most stubborn sides and may yet well edge themselves ahead of a faltering pack of sides above them.
Ward-Prowse was carried off five minutes before halftime in their 3-2 FA Cup defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last week after he suffered a laceration on his leg while trying to block Ryan Sessegnon's clearance. Today was his first time on the pitch. I tried to keep him out as long as possible. The players always like to come back on to the pitch and he handled it well, I think," Hasenhuettl told reporters ahead of Saturday's home game.

In the betting, 'Lille to Win & Over 1.5 Goals' gets the nod. Quite simply, Lille have outperformed Amiens this term and their home exploits have been considerably better than Amiens' weak efforts on the road. With an average of 1.8 goals for, having scored multiple goals against bottom-half teams such as Bordeaux, Nimes, Strasbourg and St. Etienne, Lille are backed to score multiple goals on route to beating a side that has struggled defensively on the road. Not only have Amiens conceded multiple goals in each of their last five on the road, but they are also the second-worst team in the division when it comes to shots on target conceded.

I couldn't work out why Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki both started on the bench on the weekend, when Norwich lost at home to Brighton. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich 'deserved more' after 1-0 defeat by Brighton Mind you, Pukki has only scored twice since mid-December and has not found the net at all in his past 11 appearances. The Canaries don't have a goal threat and that's one of the reasons I am going with Watford here.

Last season Siauliai FA finished the season on 6th place and really not that far away from the 2nd place which could have got them promoted, while Jonava, team which played not so long ago even in the first league level in Lithuania had a modest season last term and lost both games played by them against this opponent losing with 2-1 at home and no less than 3-1 loss for them here at Siauliai.
I would actually suggest to you taking Voluntari to win this one by more than one goal difference as Dinamo is a club with big financial problems, they really lacked quality players even before the break but were at least with a decent coach in Dusan Uhrin, now they have an unexperienced coach in Vlad Mihalcea who cannot organize his defense probably, and it is a very weak defense which can easily be out paced in one on ones with the opponent's strikers.
I want my tombstone to say that I won the Champions League with Barca," the 61-year-old said in an interview with Catalan newspaper L'Esportiu on Saturday. Setien was the surprise choice to succeed Ernesto Valverde as the club's coach after the latter was sacked despite winning back-to-back league titles and leading the team to the top of the standings at the halfway stage of the season.
Stal Mielec is currently playing quite well. The home team took 45 points with the 3rd place in the rankings. They won 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 appearances. In total, they won 14 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from the beginning of the season so far. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Stal Mielec is in a better shape than Belchatow recently. Specifically, Stal Mielec won the last 7/8 matches on the away field, won the last 5/8 matches, won the last 7/8 matches on the away field and won the last 3/5 matches. And Belchatow has lost the last 3/5 matches, the last 6/10 matches at home, not winning the last 5/7 matches, not winning the last 7/9 matches at home. So Stal Mielec is quite likely to enjoy the full joy before Belchatow in this match.

However, Allan's effort from the spot though was tipped brilliantly around a post by McCrorie, diving low to his right-hand side.

Barnes scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes left after VAR deemed Jose Holebas had fouled the Burnley forward. James Tarkowski put the gloss on Burnley's victory late on, forcing home a rebound after his first effort had been well saved by Ben Foster.

I do not really see Airbus scoring here in this game against 2nd placed Connah's which is really just one point behind the league leaders from TNS at this moment, and they are in good form at this moment as well. This while Airbus even lost 12-0 at home to TNS 3 rounds ago while last away game was at Caernarfon and they ended up losing it as well with 5-0 in the end.
Victor Lindelof's goal was just his second in 84 appearances for United in all competitions.

Crystal Palace will not have an easy job in this duel at home ground against Arsenal. Both sides are in the middle of standings, host is just one point above visitors, but it will not means a lot in this duel, they will need to prove their quality on the pitch. Arsenal has boosted their self confidence after a victory in last round against Manchester United, and no doubt they are eager to continue winning row. Crystal Palace have a long list of unavailable players including their suspended captain Luka Milivojevic. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta will ask full commitment from all players, and this is a very good opportunity for new three points. Victory for Arsenal with more than 1.5 goals
