Lawro's prediction: 2-0Aitch's prediction: Home win. No question. Aitch on United's prospects: "It looks like things are on the up for United but it is hard to say. Because of the way things have gone over the past few years it is hard to know. Things have been promising for us before, but then it goes wrong in the blink of an eye. I have always got faith, but I don't think we are all of a sudden going to be challenging to win the title again next season.
Gerard Deulofeu's extra-time winner, a six-goal thriller at Wembley and Steven Gerrard's disappointment at the hands of Aston Villa - there's been some cracking FA Cup semi-finals over the last five years.

There's not a huge amount of pressure on Wolfsburg in Thursday's clash but they won't want to risk angering their fans any further with another poor result.

Juventus have lost only one of their last 29 Serie A games against Lazio (W22 D6), and only once have they not scored in that run. Meanwhile, Lazio’s last home win against Juventus in Serie A was back in December 2003.

But United, who were reduced to 10-men, stormed back to win an incident-packed encounter, with a 19-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two of their three goals after the break.

Lukashenko is planting trees during the cleanup, football is in full swing and everything seems to be not so bad, well, according to the president, of course. Minsk “Dynamo” meets “Slutsk” at the home stadium in the seventh round. Dynamo feels just fine and shows quality football from tour to tour. “Slutsk” - is rather weak and certainly weaker than “Dynamo”. Most likely, the guests will not be able to score, but to win for sure. “Dynamo” over the past five matches has not been defeated. The team has four victories and one draw match. “Slutsk” over the past five matches won only once, tied twice and lost twice. Dynamo scores a lot and in this match is likely to win, but I do not think that with a big score.
The Professional Footballers' Association has had talks with social media companies after Premier League players were sent racist abuse.

If it hits the crossbar or the post then it becomes a goal-kick, as simple as that. On average 75% of penalties are scored, it’s a free shot from 12 yards out, why on earth are takers being given a second chance? They missed they need to accept it and move on. So what are the potential issues with this? To my mind two spring immediately to mind.
We are going to go for a draw today in this match the truth is that it seems very likely that this can happen is a team that is playing at a pretty good level comes from doing in their last away game a very good game against the second classified and I think that today they can even win this game by the local team is a team which in its stadium still does not know what it is to win and I think that is why today the visiting team can win this confrontation and even more considering that he comes from winning his last match by 3 to 1 and who the record between these two teams has never lost
Last season this game was very interesting as the hosts made it 2-0 till the 10th minute of the game, but Bohemians did not say their last word as they missed a penalty kick and in the second half made it 2-2 only for Plzen to score late and get all 3 points very hard though with 3-2 in the end. And 2nd placed Plzen is very strong in home games this season with 7 wins and just 2 losses in the league so far, while they score twice the number of goals they do in away games at home.

They had more emotion than us," the Portuguese coach said. You see for example, McTominay's performance . He was dominant. Klopp: Origi exceptional A bold team selection saw Jurgen Klopp start both Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on the bench. Safe to say the gamble paid off with Origi scoring twice and Shaqiri also on target.
This odds is just amazing on goals and when I find in some duel from this league at least 1,70 or 1,75 like it is the case in this duel, I just take that every time. Croydon Kings is team who is playing pretty relaxing in last few weeks and in last four matches, this team is played 1-1, 1-1, 2-3 and 2-1. Guests on the other side, or Adelaide Raiders is team who is played in last six matches, even three times also with three or more goals. With this excellent odds, of course that I will try this.
Having scored four minutes before the interval, he should then have done so again four minutes after the restart, but when Mateus Pereira shot from range and Christian Walton could only parry, Krovinovic hit the right post with the rebound. It took a quadruple substitution by Mowbray to turn the game Rovers' way as two of the replacements combined to level within two minutes of coming on. Former Birmingham City loan forward Sam Gallagher galloped down the right, and outmuscled Kyle Bartley before pulling it back and the untracked Rothwell drilled home from 12 yards.

If I want to dazzle in Europe then he is my number one choice. He does seem to place more of a priority on that and prefers to play the bigger teams with the better football that he likes to see. He is the man who won La Decima with Real Madrid, he is the only man this season to have beaten Liverpool with a Napoli side that did not have the right to do what they did. He is a guy who changes the team, makes you grow, makes you feel you are capable of defeating the best.

Charlton is in excellent form at this reserve level I believe they have 4 wins and just one draw in their last 5 games played by them and watched them in an away game this season and they are excellent attacking minded side on the road looking to score goal after goal even when one goal up they defeated Cardiff with just 1-0 at home at the start of this new season and for me are favorites to secure another 3 points here as they are really good team very good at creating scoring chances and they do score goals.
Their main thing this season is their goal-scoring. We can clearly see that they are trying to score a goal more in every game, as they have already netted 24 goals while conceding 18.

Home team is leader of the league in the country, and they already have beat two of four top competition rivals, like Dinamo and Shakhtyor. Squad is having a lot of foreign players, and they give quality them. Players from Guinea Bissau could only play better, as warmer time is coming.
Well in this game I expect goals, a lot of ir because macabi Tel Aviv is big favorite for the win and I expect from them to win but for something like that they Will need to score at least 2 or maybe even 3 goals in my opinion cause their defense simply must concede a goal on the road, and I think that is going to happen tonight for the first time in the season cause Bnei Yehuda is in very good shape and it is not going to be a surprise for me if the score even 2 goals tonight
Both teams have scored in 62% of Oldham’s home games and Carlisle’s away games this season but only 46% of the hosts’ matches have gone on to produce over 2.5 goals, adding further weight to our final score prediction of one goal apiece. Oldham have scored 15 times at home, conceding 18 goals, while Carlisle have scored 13 times on the road but have conceded a disappointing 25 times, and the home sides better defensive record is another reason we have backed Oldham with a double chance bet despite predicting a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

At Rio Ave a few players needed time to trust a goalkeeper and his coaching plans but Kouka was sold immediately. I think it was very quick that we had confidence in him," Kouka says. Teixeira adds: "Goalkeepers see the game from a different perspective. He was the guy behind the team, so he could see all the game, where everyone was on the pitch, so that helped.

Two squad may not have competition games in the recent two months, but there is a chance for them to make the first one in Cup, which is not of the main importance for both.

Another interesting match for today and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is very real to expect. So, Lyngby is team who is last time in official duel against this rival played just 1-1, but this time, surely will be different, if we know how both of rivals are playing in this moment. So, 2-2, 4-3, 2-1 and 2-1 is home team played in last four matches, while Nordsjaelland, on the other side is played in last five of six matches on same level, or with three or more goals. I believe it will be same and this time.

City boss Guardiola had said on Friday that he was "fully confident about what the club has done". What next?Uefa could appeal against the decision in the Swiss federal courts. It is unlikely that any such appeal would be heard before the 2020-21 Champions League starts.
