After a tough trip to Italy and a poor 1-1 draw at Granada last weekend, the host's simply don't look well placed at all to take on Barca this weekend, especially considering that the Catalan giants have found their mojo again.
Football match from the England league 1 and we have Blackpool playing host to Tranmere Rovers. In this match I think we will have maybe just a goal as both teams are lacking in confidence so it will be a little hard for both teams to score.
A loss by Southampton at the same time keeps Villa just above the relegation zone, while Leicester give the,selves a six point lead ahead of third place Manchester City. They next face Norwich while Villa will play Sheffield United. TALKING POINT - Is the title race on? Leicester City are a side playing with real intent under Brendan Rodgers.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says he does not know when Tammy Abraham will return to action after the striker met a specialist about his ankle injury. Abraham, 22, travelled to Barcelona for advice after pulling up during the warm-down following Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich. The forward initially suffered the injury against Arsenal on 22 January. I'm hoping it's not a long-term injury but I can't tell you if he'll be ready for Tuesday or Saturday," said Lampard.
Both of these sides have made their promotion bids on the back of fine attacking form. The hosts are coming off back to back blanks, which highlighted their low scoring away form. However, at home – where they have claimed 74% of their points – Preston have scored 25 goals (81% of their season total). They’ve found great success in a number of ways. Preston have scored 14 goals from set-pieces in the Championship this season, including four of their last six – more than any other side in the division.
FC Ashgabat has a pretty tough hurdle coming up as Sagadam last year gave them plenty to worry about. If we calculate odds based on years back, FC Asgabat has better numbers, it's a fact, but I don't believe we should go back in time more than one years to measure 2 teams strength. Having said that, last year we have 2 matches between these 2 at Ashgabat and they finished 0 x 3 and 1 x 1. This AH 0.5 to Sagada has great value at 1,90 and I think this will be a 0 x 1 or 1 x 1.
Sevilla have five wins and four clean sheets in six Europa League matches. Sevilla are winless in their last four matches. CFR Cluj won all their group stage matches at home. CFR Cluj scored more than one goal in two of six matches at the group stage. Sevilla have scored two or more goals in eight of their last nine Europa League matches.
The men said the passports were a gift and an investigation indicated the numbers on the passports corresponded to other people, Delfino added. Marin said Brazilians do not need a passport to travel between Brazil and Paraguay, both of which are members of the Mercosul bloc. He could not explain why they showed Paraguayan passports when they had travelled recently on their Brazilian passports to China, Europe and the United States.

City did make some important away victories with good performing in the recent period, and team is in good winning run now. With few points, Bristol could be close in the playoff teams and they should make it here, as light better team in the match.
Things have improved overall of late, but it has been their efforts at Fratton Park that have impressed most. Kenny Jackett's men, who now look capable of challenging for a place in the coveted top six, have won four of their last five at home, scoring 12 and conceded five in the process. They've also kept a clean sheet in each of their last two in front of a home crowd, which given that their opponents both occupy places in the top six, is pleasing.
The home side are five points above the bottom two but failed to build on a good 3-0 home win over Energetik. The weekend saw them travel to in-form BATE Borisov and soon went 2-0 down in the first half, eventually losing 3-1. They have already lost three league games this season but all those losses have been on their travels.
Never again will we complain about the dull goalless draw. We may report it as such but it will no longer be a chore. And even VAR, the cause of so much consternation and comment, may be just be greeted like an old friend rather than a needless, inconvenient intruder on the old order. Absence will have made the heart grow fonder, even for the things we did not care for before, including the inevitable "what game are you watching?" messages after even the most innocuous of observations.
Lautaro Martinez was also on target for Inter who lead the standings on goal difference from Juventus, who beat Cagliari 4-0 earlier on Monday, with both teams on 45 points. The head-to-head record will be used once the two sides have met twice. Napoli also had chances before Lukaku put Inter ahead after 13 minutes.
Meanwhile, newly-appointed West Ham manager David Moyes will also have to weigh up what is required for the Hammers to steer clear of the drop-zone. Olivier Giroud is reportedly a target for West Ham, but whether the Frenchman is willing to make the step down – albeit without having to up sticks – remains to be seen.
It's an extremely competitive league and we're proud of our position at the moment. We've worked extremely hard to get into that position. We've done a lot of things right and we're going to have to do a lot of things right between now and the end of the season. We need the bounce of the ball, to stay clear of big injuries.
The upshot? Arsenal’s trip to Manchester City is OFF. A host of European matches will take place behind closed doors as the coronavirus continues to tear through the sporting calendar. Barcelona v Napoli? Without fans. Bayern Munich v Chelsea? No spectators. PSG v Borussia Dortmund? Onlookers barred.
England opened the scoring after eight minutes in Nottingham, as the striker's predatory instincts saw her rifle in from ten yards after the Arsenal defence failed to clear their lines. The Gunners had chances to get back into the game, most notably through Vivianne Miedema, but a combination of resolute defending and wayward finishing saw the Blues hold out, until Leah Williamson fired in with five minutes remaining.
Forest Green is in 5th place with 40 points Exeter is in 2nd place with 44 points. I expect a strong match here. Both teams will look for a win here but I predict in this match a draw. Forest Green is a good team especially in home matches and they are a strong opponent for any team. Exeter is making a great season until now and they are between candidates for the promotion and I see them fighting for a win here but also both teams don't want to lose this match. Both teams have qualities and will be a hard match for Exeter but however I predict a draw here.
Hamza Choudhury gave Leicester their "identity back" in the 1-1 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg draw with Aston Villa, manager Brendan Rodgers says. Substitute Choudhury came on to add bite to the midfield, and dispossessed Douglas Luiz in the build-up to Kelechi Iheanacho's 74th-minute equaliser. He made a huge difference - my fault I didn't start him," said Rodgers, whose side were 1-0 down in the 28th minute to Frederic Guilbert's opener.
Bayern Munchen is in first place with 70 points and they have 7 points more than Dortmund that is in second place. Borussia M'Gladbach is in 4th place and they are fighting against Leipzig for a place in UEFA Champions League in the next season and I expect from them a good match here.
AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin told European football's administrators on Tuesday that they can be proud to be in charge of the most popular, wealthiest and best football in the world. In a surprisingly blunt message, the Slovenian told his organisation's annual congress that they should not be ashamed of the success of tournaments such as the Champions League and the Euros -- nor the huge amount money they generate.
Former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin says Grealish's improvement has been helped by the midfielder "growing up". Where would Grealish play for England?Given that Southgate is well stocked for attacking midfielders, could there be a place for Grealish as a deeper-lying player?If it's taken that Harry Kane will start as striker, it might be easier for the Villa player to slot into midfield if England choose to have one defensive midfielder or if Grealish sits alongside the likes of Declan Rice or Jordan Henderson.
Today at Europe will be played few club friendly games which are part of the preparation of the teams for the start of the new season. Here will play 2 Finnish teams - Ilves and SJK. Both teams played at Finnish elite league last season.
I don't believe that home team will lost this duel in Belarusian Premier league and I will try here option on asian handicap on home team, in this case, +0,5. So, Minsk is played poor last match in league, when they are lost that duel 0-2, but at home, this team is much more dangerous and that is the fact. BATE, on the other side, is so far have just 1-0-2 in first three rounds, with two defeats as a guest. Few days ago, they are lost and in the Cup against Slaviya 0-1, also as a guests, so +0,5 on Minsk is ok.
You just need to find that one person that you can vent to," said Scott. My good friend is [Chelsea and England goalkeeper] Carly Telford. She is just a good ear for me where I can just talk and talk and talk and she doesn't have to say anything but I know she is there. On Friday, the Football Association announced the Women's Super League season will not resume until "it is safe and appropriate to do so".

SERIE A While Juventus will be joping to sign Paul Pogba for a second time, they will likely let another midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, leave with Arsenal being heavily linked to the Frenchman who has struggling to find a regular first eleven berth in the line-up of the Scudetto favourites. Kalidou Koulibaly is another player linked to the Emirates Stadium, but Carlo Ancelotti will try to use his connections to get the Napoli centre half to Goodison Park.
The second leg of the play-off semi-final between Ipswich and Bolton in the old First Division in 2000 has always stayed with me - it finished 5-3 to Ipswich and 7-5 on aggregate. I commentated on six of South Korea's seven matches at World Cup 2002 and will never see anything quite like that again; some of it defied logic. I was at both of Middlesbrough's incredible Uefa Cup comebacks on the way to the final in 2006.
England cricket players were heading home after their tour of Sri Lanka was called off on Friday, while this weekend's Six Nations rugby match between Wales and Scotland also succumbed.
