Real know victory over PSG will guarantee a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League and will hope to gain revenge for the 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture. But it was in their previous European game - a 6-0 thrashing of Galatasaray - in which Benzema, according to boss Zinedine Zidane, did something "amazing". His two goals meant he became only the second player after Messi to score in 15 consecutive Champions League campaigns - even Ronaldo has not yet achieved the feat as he failed to score in the group stage for United in the 2005-06 season.

That's evident from all the fans who sit around me in the Shed End. If we win the FA Cup and finish fourth, it would be an absolutely fantastic season. Fellow fan Rod Hood added: "I had no expectations for anything this season. I'd have been happy with relegation because I believe we could have come back from that.
I know there was a lot of talk about it and tension," he says. In the first half of the season, we were just trying to stay in touch but we eventually realised we could make the top 10 and got to the point when it was that one-off game on the final day and we won pretty well in the end. Did smaller divisions work?Motherwell would go on to finish fourth in the first season of the Premier Division, while Kilmarnock would earn promotion after finishing runners-up to Thistle in the second tier.
They are on course to emulate Arsenal's 2003-04 'Invincibles' by going a whole season unbeaten and Saturday's 20th successive league win at Anfield meant they equalled Manchester City's record in the Premier League era. Bill Shankly's 1972 Liverpool side, the all-time record holders with 21 straight home wins, could be the next to be eclipsed as Klopp's side look, uniquely, to win every one of their 19 Anfield matches this season.
Both of these two teams have seen over 2.5 goals on plenty of occasions this season. Eintracht failed to score in just two of their 16 Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Paderborn have kept just two clean sheets this season.
In stark contrast, the defeat means the Hammers have lost four of their last five league games and leaves them in 18th place.

Danish Football Association chairman Jesper Moller "As things are now, the setup of the tournament in 2021 will be the same as the tournament in 2020," Moller told reporters. Copenhagen has the opportunity to have its four matches. So if infrastructure, hotels, logistics. Copenhagen in June 2021, then Copenhagen will also have its four matches again.
It's looking grim for Watford unless they can start getting some wins. They have only won one league game this season and that was away at Norwich who are 19th in the table. Since that victory, Watford have lost three league games in a row, the most recent being a 2-0 away loss to Leicester City. That was their fifth loss in six league games as the gap between them and safety continues to grow.
Where once City’s riches opened their doors to some of the very best players on the planet, now any seriously elite performer will park themselves elsewhere for a couple of seasons. Players of the calibre of Raheem Sterling and Kevin de Bruyne may find it difficult to justify spending two years of their career in the European wilderness.
Another match, almost perfect for plenty of goals today and that will be my option, without any dilemma. So, Hoffenheim is team who is always very motivated against Bavarain Gigant and probably will be same and this time. I was watch their match in Munich, at Allianz Arena, when they are beat this rival and also, two weeks ago in Cup, when in duel this rivals was 4-3 for Bayern. I'm pretty sure that this duel will be same and I will try that here. It is more than ok and I can also said that odds are pretty good.
Both Juve Stabia and Livorno received the defeat the day after the COVID epidemic. Juve Stabia lost 1-3 on Pescara and Livorno lost 0-2 at home against Cittadella. Currently, Livorno is monopolizing the bottom position with 18 points less than the safety group so the chances of relegation for them are extremely low. Meanwhile, Juve Stabia is ranked right in the bottom 6 of the group with only 3 points more. Therefore, this is an opportunity for them to work towards victory and increase the gap.
Bristol City, who've scored at least twice in three of their last five at home, may not have been prolific winners of late, but this game represents an opportunity for success. Punters can profit by siding with the hosts to take all three points. Rovers attacking efforts on the road simply don't match up to City's at home, while the visitors have also done a worse job at the back. The Robins have also done a better job of bettering teams in terms of shots on target for. They're average shots on target supremacy may be slight at +0.10, but it's better than Blackburn's of -1.8. Moreover, no team has conceded as many shots than Rovers away from home in the Championship this season. Throw in the fact that the away side are going to be without key player and top-scorer Bradley Dack and the home win looks too good to turn down.
Fulham should prey on QPR's problems, as the hosts have scored 1.8 goals per home game this term. The Cottagers are coming off an impressive win at Birmingham and we expect them to improve their great record at home to the Rs. We’re backing a Fulham victory as our main tip here.

Everton have lost only once since Marco Silva was sacked in December, wining six and drawing four -- under interim boss Duncan Ferguson and later Carlo Ancelotti -- to move up to ninth.
This may seem a harsh verdict on a side that has given so much pleasure and has been so successful - but what he has seen will not be lost on a manager of Guardiola's class. Anything else would be delusion. There are so many things right about his Manchester City but too much is wrong in that vital defensive area that makes them too beatable for a manager and club with such high ambitions. As for Arsenal, what a week this has been for Arteta and his team.
The hosts’ poor form is largely down to their inability to find the back of the net and they come into this match having failed to score in three of their last four matches. When you factor in that they have conceded 33 times this season, a record which is the fourth worst in the division, then it is easy to see why their issues are so severe.
Oh dear. He apologies to Bardhi. Hazard injury? Hazard looks to be limping which is not good news for Real Madrid. Of course, the Belgian has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines. He might have to come off here. Indeed, Vinicius comes on for him. GOAL! Levante 1-0 Real Madrid: What a sensational finish! That is a Goal of the Season contender! Morales has given Levante the lead and in some style! Morales was played in down the left channel, the angle was narrow, but he lashes a strike into the back of the net! What a strike! Wow!

And he has now been rewarded with a contract that will keep him at the Allianz Arena for another two seasons. Club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "FC Bayern is very happy with Hansi Flick's work.

A relegation battle between two faltering teams it pits the home side in 16th place (the relegation/promotion play-off spot) taking on the visitors who are six points ahead in 14th place. One of two capital clubs in the German top flight, Hertha have been outdone by newly-promoted Union thus far. The season opened with a draw in Munich against Bayern, a false indication of how the next few months would play out.
The hosts are writing history at this point for sure having qualified from the Europa League group on 1st place in a tough group with Wolfsberger AC from Austria, Gladbach from Germany and AS Roma from Italy, because they won a few days ago thanks to a late late goal with 2-1 in Germany at Gladbach and since Roma could not beat Wolfsberger at home they won the group even.
City won their three games against Fulham last season by an aggregate score of 7-0. They rarely take their foot off the gas (as many will remember when they beat Port Vale 9-0 in 2019) no matter the opposition. Their second-string team could probably finish in the Champions League places, let alone win the Championship. So what chance do Fulham have? Not a great one, we reckon. Back City to win with a clean sheet.
Sometimes players just need a sounding board, and can only talk to someone who's independent; who isn't family, their agent or with a club. Sometimes parents ring me and say 'They've just been released. They've locked themselves in their room and won't talk to us. Can you help?'"They don't know where to turn, or what happens next. They might say they're alright but two or three weeks down the line they get a reality check.

He has an important part to play - and has played an important part with the pressure he has put on the strikers," Wilder added. From my point of view, the example he has set, and is setting, and the influence he has on those young players is huge. On Friday, Sheffield United host 16th-placed West Ham United, who appear rejuvenated under new manager David Moyes with back-to-back wins over Bournemouth and Gillingham.
CORREA STAKES HIS CLAIM Atletico Madrid's Argentine forward Angel Correa was close to leaving in the summer but is proving a crucial presence at the Wanda Metropolitano. With Atletico locked in a stalemate at Real Betis on Sunday, Diego Simeone threw on the electric striker. Correa created the first goal as he won the ball back high up the pitch and rounded Betis goalkeeper Joel Robles before finishing coolly and set up the second for Alvaro Morata.
Jorginho and Fikayo Tomori? Benched. Yes, we've reached that stage of the season when the relentless nature of the fixture list (especially for those clubs in Europe) starts to dictate some squad rotation. However, don't let the recent midweek games prompt any panic sales. Having rested two of his first-choice front three and with an away game this weekend (at Bournemouth), you can pretty confident Klopp will have both Salah and Firmino back in the Liverpool starting XI.
We did not concede a goal at home which is always very important in the knockout stage, but I regret that we did not score another in the first half when we had the capacity.

Hapoel Rishon Lezion is going to face Hapoel Ashkelon. The hosts are in second place in the league standings and today they are favorites to win. However, if we take a look at their last matches in the league they often lose points against teams like Ashkelon. They are struggling hard against the weaker team and that's why I see here a chance for points for Ashkelon. The visitors are in the bad situation as they got minus 9 points. They need points and I expect them to play with the high effort here against Lezion. My bet is Asian handicap +1 for Ashkelon
Even at home, The Imps have found it tough to be productive offensively of late. They've scored only three times in their last five at home, failing to score in three of those five. They also average a measly 2.63 shots on target for at home, which makes them League 1's worst team in terms of shots on target for at home.
Everyone was so proud that they worked on something that had an impact, but Roma isn't responsible for finding five children. Our role from day one was to help with the search to find missing children. If we hadn't done it, would they have been found anyway? Maybe. But how do people find out about a missing child? Most football fans don't follow Missing People on their Twitter, for example. This takes it to a new audience.
