Basel won each of their three group-stage matches at home, scoring two or more goals. They have five straight home wins in Europa League and are unbeaten in eight, with six wins. They have four clean sheets in the last six home matches in Europa League. On the other hand, APOEL have just been poor; they have one win and three losses in their last five matches.
Their away record has been truly abysmal with their form sheet currently looking like a sea of red with dashes of amber thrown in there for good measure. They haven't won a game on the road since March and have lost seven of their nine away games so far this season. Les Dogues have managed to score in five of their last six away matches but will find it difficult here as they travel to the Groupama.
De Bruyne was not done yet, brilliantly bending home his side's fifth goal off the inside of the post before the end. Norwich had their moments too as they bid farewell to the top flight, with Ederson brilliantly denying Teemu Pukki and Onel Hernandez in one-on-one situations. Hernandez thought he had put the Canaries ahead with the score at 0-0 but his low long-range effort was disallowed after he was ruled offside by the video assistant referee.
“Potters” play open football, not paying due attention to defense. The home team conceded 18 goals in ten home matches, scoring 11 times. “Stoke City” lost seven times in their field, having managed to cling to only one draw and won twice.
In terms of a correct score tip, although we fully expect the hosts to come out on top we have to respect the fact that Crawley have found the back of the net in 92% of their away matches. The visitors, however, concede an average of 1.67 goals per game on the road and with the hosts scoring an average of 1.55 goals per game and considering that they have score two or more in each of their last four home league matches, backing a 2-1 home win seems like the most likely result.
Recent injuries to Tottenham's Harry Kane, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Chelsea's Tammy Abraham have led to speculation over an England return for 32-year-old Vardy.

For now, Barca's last-16 second leg match with Napoli is to go ahead as normal and Setien said he hopes the game is played at a full stadium but will accept whatever authorities decide. I once played a match without fans as a player and it's sad because the motivation you get from the atmosphere at a game is very important.
As a result of that form, the visitors have seen plenty of low scoring games this season. Just 14% of Preston's away games so far have finished with over 2.5 goals, while 75% of Derby's home games have seen under 2.5. We are backing the same again given the low scoring record. We’re also tipping a 1-0 away win, as Preston head here with 57% of their away games seeing exactly one goal, while Derby are winless against any of the top 12 this term (D3 L5).
Things have improved of late, but Jackett will undoubtedly be wanting further improvement, especially on the road, where consistency has been missing this term. Pompey were defeated when they last played away, while they've just two out of nine. A lack of forward penetration has sometimes been an issue for Pompey when playing away from home. They've failed to score in three out of nine and have scored more than once on just three occasions.
It was very, very strange," Moukoko tells BBC Sport. We played at Rushden and Diamonds. There were a lot of people coming around me asking for an autograph. I didn't really know what was going on, there were so many people. Then one of my friends, Ian Evatt, said: 'You don't know that you are one of the biggest players in this computer game?'. It was just unbelievable. Still now, I have people calling from Australia, France, all over the place.
Motherwell assistant manager Keith Lasley: "[Stephen Robinson] and I were at the Hibs game last week and they [St Mirren] were unlucky to lose that game. The Aberdeen game was a similar story, they had chances to not only draw the game but possibly win it. Did you know? Motherwell's 4-0 win at home to St Johnstone at the weekend was their biggest margin of victory in a Scottish Premiership match since they beat opponents St.
After a derby defeat that could have catastrophic consequences for their Premier League title defence, Manchester City will welcome the opportunity to leave their domestic woes behind them when the Champions League Group Stage resumes this week.
I don't know why we have such a big odds for over 2.5 goals in this game. Both teams have big motive to win this game. Granada at home should be favorite in this game but they have game in Cup next week against Bilbao and they should rotate team and that is a main reason. Still, they also need victory in this one as they can catch Europa league place for next season. Celta is fighting against relegation. This team is just 2 points far from relegation place. So they must go for a win as well. They manage to score twice against Real Madrid in 2-2 draw. So over 2.5 with 2.50 look like good bet.
I also had a bet on over 2.5 goals on the guests in their last league game away from home at Inter Star and despite not really needing the win staying way clear from relegation in this ending of the season they had enough scoring chances to win the game, they could have also lost the game as it ended just 1-1 in the end bad for my over 2.5 goals bet though, but really open game as the guests have not been shy of attacking scoring away from home at the top 2 teams but losing 4-1 and 2-1 there lately.
The currently unattached, former Juventus manager comes with an impressive pedigree having secured five Serie A and four Coppa Italia titles, plus two Champions League finals. Though the Italian is said to be on a sabbatical this season. Others linked to the role include Carlo Ancellotti, Woles boss Nuno Espirito Santo, Mikel Arteta, Rafa Benitez and Patrick Viera, among others.
For everyone in our country, the primary focus of the present - and the coming months - is undoubtedly to look after our families, support our communities and work together to come through what is clearly the most extreme test that we've faced collectively in decades. On behalf of all the team and staff, I would like to take this opportunity to send our sympathies to those who have lost loved ones already.
Leicester City are in top form at present with 27 points from their last 10 league games. They are powerful going forward but mean at the back too and in great form at home. Norwich are in relegation trouble and the joy of that win at Everton has been followed by one point from the next three games. Their away form is poor and they regularly go behind in the first half of away league matches. Go for Leicester to win and be ahead at both half and full time.

West Ham boss David Moyes expects a chance to "improve a great club with big ambitions" after keeping them in the Premier League for a second time. The Hammers secured safety with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Wednesday. Moyes guided West Ham clear of trouble - just as he did two seasons ago, when his reward was the sack. Last time I only had a short contract, so the owners were entitled to do what they wanted.
Toulouse have lost three of their last four home games and even though Marseille haven't been great on the road, we're backing the visitors to get the win here. Toulouse have just been so poor at both ends of the pitch and with their last game finishing 3-0 to Montpellier, we don't have a lot of faith in les Violets here.
It's an uphill battle now, but we have been written off time and time again this season and come back," he added. Fulham are now huge favourites, but they have everything to lose and we have everything to gain. There was a 2-0 deficit in the League Two play-offs. That does not mean it will happen for us but ultimately we need to be positive. The second leg takes place at Craven Cottage on Thursday, while Swansea City take a 1-0 lead to Brentford in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
Pordenone has got 46 points after 30 matches and is temporarily ranked 6th on the standings. This achievement helps them to be safe enough in the top 8 so far, Pordenone still has the opportunity to compete for a ticket to play directly in Serie A when only 2 points behind Crotone is 5 points while there are still 7 more matches to finish. But their recent form is really not good, since coming back after a long 3-month break, Pordenone has not been able to get their first win and most recently they also lost 0-3 to the opposing team. Last is Trapani. If not quickly regained its form, Pordenone is easily knocked out of the top 8.
Exactly four goals have been scored in an astonishing 62% of Zwolle’s home games this season while 33% of Utrecht’s away games have also featured that number of goals. A majority of Zwolle’s defeats this season (9) had a margin of 2 goals or more while a majority of Utrecht’s wins this campaign (7) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more, which makes our prediction for a 3-1 final scoreline in favour of the visitors look even more realistic.
Another interesting match from Belarus Reserve league where I hope that we can see plenty of goals and yea, I will try that here, because that is more than ok and real option. FK Ruch Brest Reserves is team who is in last four of six matches played in league with three or more goals and in last round, they are lost even 1-4, so they are now under pressure and they just need to win here. We will see what will happen, but for me, this match probably will be very efficient, and I will try this option here.
One football federation official said “all options are on the table” for the meeting and another source said those options include one-legged ties for the remainder of the Champions League and Europa League games to halve the fixture load. The focus on completing domestic competitions reflects a concern that clubs throughout Europe will lose significant ticket and associated match-day revenue by not completing the season while still having to pay player salaries.
Norwich lost 3-0 at home to Southampton on Friday and ended the weekend six points from safety with eight games to play. They have an inferior goal difference so really it's a seven point deficit. The big question is where are those points going to come from? Norwich have only won five league games all season and one in the last five.
West Ham United gave a huge response to the arrival of new manager David Moyes, but beating a struggling Bournemouth side may not be the right yardstick for now. They are set to face a much gritty side in Gillingham and though they play in a superior league, they will have to be on alert. Gillingham have had a good run lately and they are even better when playing at home. They have also had a good run in the FA Cup, especially at home and looking at West Ham’s away run, and in the FA Cup, we will go for a home win here.
Alonso chases a ball into the area. Gazzaniga flies off his line, misses his kick completely and crashes straight into the Chelsea man. VAR checks - and eventually it's a PENALTY! Willian steps up and sends the keeper the wrong way. TOTTENHAM RED CARD! It's another intervention from VAR as Son is giving his marching orders for kicking up into the chest of Rudiger while the Spurs man was on the floor.
It was fantastic for everyone connected to the club but it was mixed in many ways because of my own experiences being a fan and being an ex player," he said. A lot of demons were put to bed, not all of them, but certainly I felt a lot better when Liverpool got over the line recently. I look back every day (at not winning a Premier League title) and I think I will forever and ever. It is the one that eludes me in terms of being a player and it would have completed the set.
It's official. Jurgen Klopp has landed another Christmas number one with Liverpool's 2019 title challenge entry. But can they correct a record that has previously seen them fail to convert that promise into a Premier League trophy?Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's worst start to a campaign goes on - but Jonjo Shelvey's season just keeps getting better. BBC Sport takes a look at the key statistics from the weekend's Premier League action.
In short this has been, as the fans used to sing in happier times, "Same old Arsenal" - but not in a good way. Arsenal had firepower in the shape of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but even their threat could not compensate for Emery's failure to stiffen Arsenal's resolve. Quite simply, Arsenal remained just as soft as they were under Wenger. In the 2-2 draw at Watford earlier this season, the Hornets attempted 31 shots on target, the highest the Gunners have faced since Opta starting compiling such statistics in 2003-04.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted final scoreline of 2-1 in Barnet’s favour. The hosts have been at their strongest at home while Fylde have looked vulnerable on the road this season but do head into Saturday’s clash in good form. We are expecting a close and competitive ninety-minute but believe Barnet will come out on top, just.

Cardiff have won all of their home clashes with bottom half sides, while their good scoring record should continue here. We expect them to pile onto a Millwall side who have just lost 2-1 at home to a poor Barnsley side, while we expect Cardiff to repeat that scoreline in a victory this week.
Dordrecht and Eindhoven FC will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Dordrecht this season have the following results: 2W, 6D and 14L. Meanwhile Eindhoven FC have 7W, 4D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The FIFA president, speaking at a seminar in Rabat on the development of African football, complained that football in the region had not progressed as expected and that he wanted to "project African football to the top of the world. Ivory Coast's captain Yaya Toure raises the trophy after winning the African Nations Cup final soccer match against Ghana in Bata, February 8, 2015Reuters However, playing in June-July would have meant following on from FIFA's revamped Club World Cup in China.
In fact, they’ve been lucky in a number of their victories, and have only won by more than a single goal twice on the road this season. Not only that, but they have required late goals in three of their last four away days to beat Aston Villa and Crystal Palace and to salvage a point at Old Trafford.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has been accused by prosecutors in Spain of not paying 1m euros (£904,000) in taxes. The charge relates to tax due for image rights earnings during the Italian's time as Real Madrid boss in 2014-15. The Madrid Community Prosecutor's office claims the 61-year-old concealed revenues "intending to avoid his tax duties towards the public treasury with no justification". Ancelotti is yet to respond and Everton said they have no comment to make.
