It would be an interesting move if Haaland decided to go to Leipzig as he has already worked his way to the top of Europe's elites' transfer wishlists. It would relieve the pressure on the forward, who is still a teenager, but admittedly it would be very difficult for him to turn down the chance to play at some of the club interested in him, such as Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
They have got so much respect for him that they listen intently. His own personal performances have improved too and it is no coincidence that has come from him moving from the deep-lying midfield role that Fabinho now occupies to being the wider of the three on the right. The story is that happened because he went to see Klopp and told him he was better suited in that position, which can't have been an easy thing to do either, but the move has been massive for him.
FC Barcelona vs. Osasuna FREE LIVE STREAM (9/3/23) Sep 3, 2023 — FC Barcelona faces Osasuna in a La Liga match on Sunday, September 3, 2023 (9/3/23) at El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona, Spain.
What's more, the Trotters had knocked out Ipswich the season before on away goals after extra time and boss Sam Allardyce must have felt in complete control when Dean Holdsworth and Eidur Gudjohnsen put them 2-0 ahead early in the first leg. But a Marcus Stewart double made it 2-2 and set up what would be an eventful second leg at Portman Road three days later. Ultimately, it would prove to be about two men - Town midfield maestro Jim Magilton for his hat-trick and referee Barry Knight for his contentious decision to both send off two Bolton players and award the hosts three penalties.
Everton stretched their unbeaten run to five games as a 3-1 victory over out-of-form Crystal Palace moved them up to seventh in the Premier League. The hosts dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead when Bernard volleyed in Theo Walcott's superb cross. But Palace, without a win so far in 2020, fought back after the break and equalised when Christian Benteke's low strike went under keeper Jordan Pickford.
Camarasa leaves Palace Victor Camarasa's loan at Crystal Palace from Real Betis has been ended and he has joined Alaves on loan until the end of the season. If you weren't aware that Camarasa was at Palace that's because he only played five minutes in the Premier League this season. Norwich sign Rupp Norwich have signed midfielder Lukas Rupp from Hoffenheim for an undisclosed fee.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Friday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Heerenveen are yet to lose at home but have frustratingly drawn five of their seven games in front of their own fans, while Vitesse have picked up ten points from a possible twenty-one on the road and don’t look capable of winning right now, but do have a great recent record against Heerenveen which has produced six draws from the pairs’ last ten encounters.
It looks as if the best they can hope for is taking second from Inter and they are level on points with them but with Inter still to play at Roma over the weekend. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 14 league games, keeping themselves in good form before the Champions League resumes in August is a key target.
Now the Cottagers are hoping that form will sustain in this meeting with a Bristol City side who are only two points behind them in the table. Who will edge this meeting between two promotion chasers?

Dortmund have been one of the Bundesliga's best teams at home this season. However, they have struggled to earn wins on their travels. Dortmund have won just three of their nine Bundesliga away games this season. We feel that Augsburg will likely fancy their chances going into Saturday's fixture.
Goztepe has started the season quite impressively, which helps them to be in the group capable of competing for a ticket to the European Cup next season. However, Goztepe's erratic performance in the second leg of the season made Goztepe more and more lagging on the charts. Specifically, Goztepe lost in the past 3 matches without scoring a goal. But to admit the fact that opponents of Goztepe are not comfortable. It is the top team Basaksehir, is a Kasimpasa with home field advantage. Therefore, fans are not waiting for a good result for Goztepe in this round. I choose Rizespor +0.5 AH
Both sides face a crucial period in the climax to the Bundesliga season. Augsburg are on the fringe of the relegation battle, while their opponents would love another season in the Europa League. Form going into the suspension has Wolfsburg clearly the better side and their away form isn't too bad either. Go for Wolfsburg to get the victory here and it's likely both teams will get on the scoresheet.
I've been in love with Mbappé for a long time," said Zidane. I've been seeing him for a long time, when he came here [to Real Madrid] for trials. Spurs lineup Ake transfer Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth defender Nathan Aké as they look to bolster their defence, having kept just one clean sheet this season, the lowest of any side in the Premier League.
In Germany, Freiburg and Borussia M'gladbach are expected to meet today for a Bundesliga match which will be held at Schwarzwald Stadion, Freiburg city. In the table, M'gladbach takes position 4 with 56 points after playing 29 matches while Freiburg takes position 8 with 38 points after playing 29 games.
Leicester U23 and Wolves U23 will face each other in the upcoming match in the Premier League 2. Leicester U23 this season have the following results: 6W, 4D and 3L. Meanwhile Wolves U23 have 2W, 5D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
City have one loss and nine wins in their last 10 matches and 13 of their last 15 matches have produced over 2. They however have no clean sheets in their last four matches, and just two in the last 15. City have scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 15 matches while they have conceded two or more in just three of the last 15.
To do so though, they need to beat the host nation Spain. There had been concerns that this new format might not be great news for the doubles matches. That was perhaps the case early on when some matches didn't take place after the tie had already been won. However, in the closer games the doubles has provided a nail-biting finish and that could well happen in this final.
I see this as an excellent game to make some money on as Stockport defeated Halifax on 25th December with no less than 5-1 at home, and lately they are in very good scoring form also winning 5-1 away at Torquay recently, 2-2 draw at Bromley, 2-1 win at both Barnet and Fylde which are decent sides and also a 2-1 loss for them on the road at Aldershot, so they are really open type of team and we can expect them to both score and concede once more in this one with them likely to be winning all 3 points at the end.
Monchengladbach will have an advantage here going by their defensive run this season, though their away form has deteriorated in the past few matches. They have no win in the last five away league matches but going by the quality of opponent they face, we believe they will put an end to the poor run. However, we do not expect to see too many goals, going by the two sides’ performances in attack. Back this to end with under 2.5 goals.</p><p>
Amazing news. Vialli, who also won Serie A as a player at Sampdoria, said he had written a will in case he did not make it. You realise just by writing down everything you own that it's just materialistic stuff," he added. We are much more than that. I have my family. I've got the love of my wife, my daughters and friends, people who like me, think about me and send me prayers and positive energy. Media playback is not supported on this device Gianluca Vialli tells BBC Radio 5 Live his take on whether the football season should start again.
We’re confident that Porto will win-to-nil on Monday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts are the slight form favourites and have outplayed their guests in all departments so far this season. Yet to concede in their own backyard, Porto will be confident of keeping another clean sheet and collecting another three points on Monday.
They have given us absolutely everything these boys, I'm so incredibly proud," he added. He was less impressed by the behaviour of some fans during the game and called for it to be stamped out. Football is a game we should all enjoy, spectators and the ones playing," he said. We want rivalry but keep it at the same level.
Semifinals of Serbian Cup, also the most popular city derby in this part of Europe, Partizan will play against Red Star, and this will be their 200. Derby match. Stake is big for both side, fans from both clubs want a win in this duel, Red Star is in better form, they are already won the title, but no doubt, coach Dejan Stankovic wants want to continue with good results and a victory against their biggest rival. Partizan was defeated in last round against Spartak, despite the fact that they lead two times in the match, final result was 3-2. Match without winner in regular time.
Leverkusen have also historically fared poorly on their travels to take on Bayern Munich. They have won just one of their last 15 away games versus Bayern Munich. This record stretches back as far as 2005. Leverkusen also lost three of their last four games at the Allianz by more than one goal.

Farke's side could have secured a point they barely deserved in injury time but both Buendia and Byram missed the target when they should have done better. Man of the match - James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) Both Southampton goals came following excellent set-piece deliveries from James Ward-ProwseRare back-to-back success for Saints - the statsSouthampton have lost just one of their past 14 home games against Norwich in all competitions (won nine, drew four), winning the last four in a row.
Angers have only scored more than one goal in one of their last twelve league matches so we don't think they'll blast past Nice but with their strong defensive record we're backing them to win 1-0. Four of Nice's last seven defeats have all been by a one goal margin so we're expecting the match to finish by this scoreline.

That responsibility lies with us all. We are also conscious of the economic uncertainty affecting so many businesses and, consequently, virtually every family. Coupled with the unique challenges of self-isolation, the loss of routine to normal working and social life, we face real challenges to our mental wellbeing. Our children may feel anxious with uncertainty. It's not normal for any of us and it's going to challenge us all.
Wolverhampton Wanderers had a game in Spain before this one and will find a well rested Spurs side, playing at home. This could would for Spurs but Wolves have shown they can push even the giants. One factor here is that the two sides’ matches have been producing plenty of goals and with both seeking a top four place, we expect an open game. Five of the last seven meetings between the two have produced over 2.5 goals and three of Spurs’ last five home matches have also yielded over 2.5 goals. Three of Wolves’ last five away league matches have produced over 2.5 goals. We are backing this to produce three or more goals.
Moshiri, misguidedly and mistakenly as we can now see, saw Silva as a Jose Mourinho-lite. Young, driven, intense and with a desire to bring attractive, winning football to Everton. Silva's occasional high spots, such as home wins against Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United at the back end of last season when Everton finished eighth, were welcomed after the joyless Allardyce months, but were the exception rather than the rule.
First it was David De Gea taking so long to clear the ball that he allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to close him down and deflect the ball back into the net. Then Jordan Pickford’s miserable form continued with a weak attempt to save a long-range effort from Bruno Fernandes to make it 1-1. De Gea’s lapse drew a typically compassionate response from Roy Keane.

I think this is going to be great and very interesting game to watch because these two teams have same amount of points and also they are 4 points away from the promotion zone so they will both be forced to attack and to try to win and Ingolstadt is in good form but at home they didn't won on 5 straight games so I expect from them to score but on the other side Manheim is pretty good on the road so I expect from them to score a goal too and 1-1 might be correct result at the end
Suarez’s diveAnother diving celebration. In the build-up to the Merseyside derby in October 2012, Everton boss David Moyes heavily criticised Luis Suarez for what he said was a dive to get Jack Rodwell sent off the previous year. Suarez scored… and proceeded to dive right in front of Moyes to celebrate. Old man’ Eto’oChelsea manager Jose Mourinho was caught on camera suggesting his striker Samuel Eto’o was 35 instead of 32 - although he claimed he was joking.
Traditionally regarded as the best of Italy's provincial sides, Atalanta have blossomed in the last few seasons under Gasperini and finished a best-ever third in Serie A last season to qualify for the Champions League for the first time. They made it past the group stage despite losing their first three matches and are Serie A's leading scorers with 63 goals.
Partizan have thus followed in the footsteps of Serbian champions and local rivals Red Star Belgrade, who halved player wages on Saturday and also terminated contracts with Dutchman Rajiv van la Parra and Brazilian defender Jander. Leagues across Europe have been trying to reach agreements over wage cuts after global sport came to a virtual standstill last month due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Admira and Wattens will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Admira this season have the following results: 5W, 7D and 13L. Meanwhile Wattens have 5W, 6D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Manchester United are now three points behind Chelsea, who are in fourth place in the league. They are two of a group of seven clubs who might have a realistic shot at a Champions League qualifying places – especially if the recent UEFA sanctions against Manchester City bring fifth place into that equation.
Fair play to the sly old dog. BielsaOut - do yourselves a favour and pipe down Marcelo Bielsa has done an incredible job at Leeds. He has made a fairly bog-standard team more than the sum of its parts. This led to the Elland Road club just missing out on automatic promotion to the Premier League last season to Sheffield United, the same Blades side that sit a heady fifth in the Premier League at the time of writing.
Sean Dyche is a legend. But we already knew that. His many achievements on the pitch are well documented, but there are so many tall tales about Burnley's long-serving manager off the pitch that it's difficult to know what's true and what's fable. Remember when it went around that the reason for his gruff voice was that he used to eat worms? The liege lord of Lancashire is this week's guest on the That Peter Crouch Podcast, and we were treated to more interesting insight.
