They top the group with one game to go and host second placed Valencia who trail them by two points. Defeat in this game and Chelsea beating Lille at home will see the Dutch side in the Europa League after Christmas. A draw will be enough to take them through though but they will want a win to finish top.
The early betting ahead of this match has AC Milan as big favourites, though given the efforts of both, that just doesn't quite add up. Sassuolo have fought well of late, avoiding defeat against a couple of sides that are undoubtedly better than Milan. On this basis, a punt on 'Sassuolo +1 Handicap' stands out as viable option. Moreover, the travelling efforts of Sassuolo have been much the same as Milan's at home, so it's hard to see why the hosts are such strong favourites, especially when the visitors have performed marginally better in terms of shots on target. Sassuolo have an average shots on target supremacy of -0.50 on the road, while Milan's at home is -1.00.
We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both of these teams have played to a very similar standard so far this season and are expected to contest the European places come the business end of the campaign. Utrecht have a good recent record against their hosts but Heracles have been strong at home this season which is why we have predicted a drawn between the pair this weekend.
We have to ask if it works to play football without spectators. If the people do not come to watch the games there is no sense, I wouldn't like to play in the Champions League, Premier League, cups, without people. The Spaniard said City would follow instructions from the authorities. We are here for the people.

The hosts last failed to make the last eight of this competition 10 years ago, while recent years have seen them become regular challengers. Milan have made the semi-finals or better in three of the last four seasons, with the Rossoneri going close in their bid for silverware. However, the hosts are without a major honour since their Scudetto in 2011, which is their longest wait since the Second World War.
Real Madrid have been linked with a summer transfer for De Gea recently, which United are said to be considering due to the return of Henderson from his loan spell. Henderson has impressed during his time in Sheffield and has gathered interest from the likes of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur.
Five-a-side football with your mates. The chance to escape the rules and regulations of work, school, college, life. Not so much at one club, who have a 14-page handbook with strict rules players must adhere to, including no WhatsApp "chit-chat" and bans for late replies. We've all stumbled across bizarre rules and processes when it comes to organised fun but, if Twitter is to be believed, this club have taken it to the extreme.
Things have been going a little better in the Premier League though, with only two defeats in their last 10 league outings and five wins to bolster their points tally. This leaves the Red Devils 5th in the table, five points adrift of the top four.
Jeju United will host Seoul E-Land for this fixture of the league. Hosts were last season of the worst teams in the League 1. Of course, Jeju will try to get a positive results at the start of the new campaign. However, Jeju have a vulnerable defense. I think, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Seoul E-Land who's is very average team in this league. Nevertheless, the visitors have the motivation to get a positive result at the start match of the season. I think, they will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
Both West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United have not had the best of runs in recent matches and going to this clash they will know just how crucial it is to the promotion race. In terms of form, West Bromwich Albion have been poorer; they have one win in the last five matches and somehow their attack is not firing as before. They have not scored more than a goal in four of their last five matches. They have not won in the last two home matches and this will add to their pressure. Leeds on the other hand, recovered from their own slump with the win over Birmingham but it was not very comfortable, especially in the final minutes. In their last five matches, they have conceded two or more goals in three. Their away form has been positive but their key concern will be in defence, considering this is normally a high scoring affair. Five of the last six matches between these two sides have produced over 3.5 goals and looking at the two sides’ defensive runs, we can bet on this one being another high scoring affair but based on form, we will go with a Leeds win.
With the hosts in such poor form, the last thing they need is the most in form side in the division being the latest team to visit stadium:mk, but unfortunately that is exactly what they have got. Oxford United have managed to earn 18 points from their last eight matches and, with a points return like that, it should not be surprising to learn that they have climbed the table and are now back in the promotion picture.
Borussia Dortmund have won their last three away league games. Borussia Dortmund have scored 14 goals in their last five away league fixtures. Paderborn have only won two home league games this season. The last five home Paderborn home league games have produced just one point. Paderborn earned a point in midweek but remain bottom of the Bundesliga.
Aves have only scored 7 goals at home and Portimonese have netted just 5 times on the road, and we can’t see either side scoring more than once this weekend. Over 1.5 goals have been scored in 75% of Portimonense’s away games this season and 50% of those matches have produced exactly 2 goals, so you can understand why we have backed a final score of 1-1 for Saturday’s clash.

They will want to beat Deeney on Sunday, just to shut him up - although he had a point at the time. They could end up relegating him too. I just think Watford are shot now, after Nigel Pearson's departure last week. This is a huge game for them, but they go into it at rock bottom. Lawro's prediction: 2-0James' prediction: I live in Islington and I have a small affinity for the Gunners - I come from Hertfordshire and I knew a lot of Arsenal fans there too.
Slovenia first league and match between Radar and Domzale. After 27 round Rudar is without win only 10 draw and 17 losses games with a goal different 24:61. On the another side Domzale on 9 place on table with 7 wins, 6 draw and 14 losses games with a goal different 36:50. Domzale finished in 3rd placed last season, now they are in relegation zone they no longer have the right to stumble. In the last round Domzale played 1:1 with Triglav, and if they were much better. For my must win situation for Domzale and my opinion is win Domzale with AH -1.0. Good luck
We provided the evidence but in the end this FFP Investigatory Chamber relied more on out-of-context stolen emails than all the other evidence we provided of what actually happened and I think it is normal that we feel like we feel. Ultimately based on our experience and our perception this seems to be less about justice and more about politics," said the Spaniard.
Ben Garner has no overseen eight games in all competitions. His side have come out on top in terms of shots in just one of those eight, while they've been bettered in terms of shots on target in seven too. Against Donny just a few days ago, they registered just one shot on target. In original FA Cup match against Coventry, Rovers allowed Coventry to take double their shots, while they also surrendered twice as many shots on target as they registered.
We have always had quality up front - we had Fernando Torres, we had Luis Suarez - when we fell fell short in the league before, but that is not enough on its own. Is this title the start of a spell of Liverpool dominance? Big Zuu hopes so but he is not convinced. I think we are away from those times when teams could win three in a row like Manchester United did. I obviously hope we can go on to win it again and again but you can never count out City, because if they sort out their defence they still have one of the best attacks there is.

It is hard to know what to expect from the Magpies this time - they are safe so have nothing to play for, unlike Watford who are fighting for their lives. I'd have to back the Hornets here, but I'm expecting more of a fight from Newcastle. They won't get battered again. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Scotty's prediction: Newcastle are one of the teams who seem to be thriving without fans putting pressure on them, when there can be a pretty toxic atmosphere at St James' Park because of the way their supporters view their owner.
I've always been one to say that when you're enjoying your football that's when you play your best stuff. The best way to enjoy your football is to win games. Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel enjoyed a comfortable afternoon at the other end of the pitch, although midfielder Wilfred Ndidi needed to make a brilliant block to deny Martin Montoya.
Tampa are 6-7 for the season but at least that's one more win than in 2018. Even so, it's now 12 seasons without a post season play-off place, so back to the drawing board for next season. The Buccaneers are in good form though with three straight wins, last weekend seeing them get a narrow 38-35 win over Indianapolis Colts.
PSG have conceded 12 goals in the last five matches. Dijon have one win in 12 Ligue 1 away matches. Dijon have no win in their last five matches. PSG have scored two or more goals in 11 of their 12 Ligue 1 home matches. Dijon have scored two or more goals in eight of their last 15 matches. PSG have had a great campaign so far in the Ligue 1, but a few shocking results have exposed the weak points in the team ahead of their home match against Dijon.
Michael O'Neill has permanently left his role as Northern Ireland manager after eight years in charge. O'Neill was set to lead Northern Ireland into March's postponed Euros qualifier with Bosnia-Herzegovina. However with Uefa proposing to reschedule the game in the autumn, the 50-year-old will now solely focus on his job as Stoke City manager. I feel it is only fair that now is the right time for me to step aside," said O'Neill.
Rochdale boss Brian Barry-Murphy: "We've had amazing backing from our supporters. The players were desperate to give them something to shout about in the second half. Familiar territory - the statsNewcastle have reached the fourth round for the fourth consecutive season. They have not reached the fifth round since 2005-06.
Rennes got their fourth league win in five games on Wednesday as they climbed up to 7th. It has been a good run of games for Julien Stéphan's men as they put the disappointment of the Europa League to one side to focus on their domestic duties. Stéphan will be desperate for this team to keep this going due to the pressure that had been mounting before this run of form.
Freiburg have scored in all of their home games this season meaning they haven’t lost-to-nil in their own backyard, while Bayern have scored in all of their home and away games this season. 43% of Freiburg’s home games and 29% of Bayern’s away games this season have produced exactly 3 goals and Freiburg have conceded as many 1-goal margin defeats as defeats with a margin of 2 goals or more (2 defeats for each), suggesting there is a good chance that the hosts will only lose by one-goal on Wednesday.
Crystal Palace is in 9th place with 28 points while Arsenal is in 10th place with 27 points. Manchester Utd that is in 5th place that means Europa League have 31 points. Seems that both teams wants to win here to fight for that place and I see more favorite Arsenal here.
