Lille OSC v HSC Montpellier predictions for this Ligue 1 match. The hosts have been on a good winning streak as of late but can they keep that up as they face a side that recently took PSG to the wire? Read on for our free Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips.
PGetty Images The signature element of Chelsea’s season has been the emergence of a talented young crop of players with world domination on their minds. Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Fiyako Tomori and Reece James. Frank Lampard must feel like Simon Cowell after he created One Direction.
AS Roma is sitting on 5th place at this moment and they are equal on points with 4th placed Atalanta who are on the last Champions League place. They played away from home at Bologna earlier this season dominating the game but scored the winning goal late in added time while playing in just 10 men, so a bit of a lucky late win but a deserved result by the way the game went.
The home side's defence hasn’t been good enough for us to consider predicting them as the winner of this game but with Paris' far from bulletproof away record we can see this one finishing as a draw. PSG have scored in each of their seven away games in the league this season but with them finding the net just once in four of these matches we're backing this game to finish 1-1.
City travel to Wolves on Friday 27 December for a 19:45 kick off, before hosting Sheffield United, who are currently unbeaten on the road in the league this season, on Sunday 29 December at 18:00. City officials are worried that the scheduling favours league leaders Liverpool, who get an extra day's rest between their Christmas fixtures and also face Wolves at 16:30 on Sunday 29 December.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola conceded the Premier League title race is over after the reigning champions lost 3-2 at Wolves on Friday. City are third in the Premier League, 14 points behind leaders Liverpool and a point below Leicester City. Asked if the title race is over, Guardiola told BBC Radio 5 Live: "The advantage is too big, yes. City have lost five Premier League games this season, one more than in the whole of the 2018-19 campaign.
Pohang welcomes Ulsan in the 5th round of the K League 1. The hosts are the fifth side of the league with 7 points while Ulsan is third with 1 point more. The home side is the underdog in this clash but I would not agree. Pohang has won 3 of the last 4 against Ulsan and they demolished them in the last match of the season by 4:1. And that was for the title. Ulsan has spent proper money to build the team but they are struggling so far. They took only draws against the two of the weakest teams so I don`t see them as favorites.
Pep Guardiola has told friends he intends to stay at Manchester City despite the club's two-year ban from the Champions League. Unless City overturn the ban imposed by Uefa on Friday, they will not compete in European football until 2022 after this season. Guardiola's contract is due to expire in 2021. He is expected to speak about the subject for the first time on Wednesday. His contract does have a break clause at the end of this season and it was anticipated he would activate it should City fail to win their appeal which they will be submitting to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in the next few days.

They have been beaten just three times in 20 Championship games this term, while the hosts are on course for a playoff berth in their chase for promotion.
Rangers. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster, who initially refused to do so. The SPFL followed up that call with an email, which we believe was a thinly disguised attempt to silence legitimate concerns. Rangers will not be bullied into silence. We believe it is in the interests of all Scottish clubs and supporters that the evidence, which is alarming, be addressed as quickly as possible.
Although it was encouraged by co-operation at international level, FIFPRO expressed concern that "a significant number of clubs . We call on clubs with short-term financial difficulties to meet with national player unions to negotiate fair and proportionate arrangements which respect their legal obligations," FIFPRO added.
That being said, they still find themselves flying high in 3rd position in the Premier League and have a massive 11 point cushion before dropping out of the top four. Additionally, two of their three recent defeats came at the hands of Liverpool and Manchester City, so they’re still a very capable team.

We will have the eyes of the world on us but the level of planning and preparation that has gone in makes me extremely confident that it will be a great success. Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Purslow added: "It [the Premier League's return] now feels about right. I am not sure I felt that when we first confirmed but I think events have caught up with football and it now feels absolutely the right thing and there is a palpable sense of excitement.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday after their 1-0 victory over Spain in the second of three SheBelieves Cup games, team co-captain Megan Rapinoe said the stance from Cordeiro and the federation "shows the distance between us on some issues. The timing of it on the eve of - not only a game in this tournament – and on the eve of International Women's Day, I guess, if that's how you want to celebrate International Women's Day," said Rapinoe, referring to the symbolic celebration of women that coincided with the announcement of their lawsuit a year ago.
After two hours of talks, it was decided the 40-year-old would remain in his role at the Nou Camp. Abidal, a former team-mate of Messi, made the comments in an interview with Spanish newspaper Diario Sport. But on Tuesday, 32-year-old Argentine Messi responded: "When you talk about players, you have to give names because if not, it gives air to things which are not true. Valverde was sacked when Barcelona were top of La Liga.
That would upset Celtic’s Scott Brown and his manager Neil Lennon, who are desperate to be awarded the title and secure their ninth successive official league title. Paper Round’s view: It is slightly bizarre that anyone could be desperately bothered whether a title counted as official or not, in the circumstances.
Arsenal levelled just shy of the hour mark when Aubameyang fired Mesut Ozil’s corner via an effort from Mustafi for his 12th goal of the season. Two phenomenal saves from Leno protected parity in the game. First, Kenny McLean ran through and he tipped his shot onto the post, before Pukki left Mustafi bamboozled and went in search of his second.
Far from the finished article, Arsenal are showing signs of a bright future under Mikel Arteta. A few defensive reinforcements in the summer could be the making of a great Gunners side. Until then, they look vulnerable at the back. Their attack is good enough to win most games and we think that this home tie against Olympiakos is one such game. Back Arsenal and over 2.5 goals.
It is hard to bet these days. We need to be patients but I am coming in some type of crisis right now. 10 days pass how long I am in quarantine and this Corona virus start to really kill us. These two teams are from 3rd division from Russia. Both solid. Both can score and concede. I really can't predict what will happen and I have rule to pick draw in that situation. We don't have much to choose these days and that is a fact. So let's bet here on draw.
Three Fiorentina players and three members of the club's support staff have tested positive for coronavirus. Serie A clubs have been given permission by the Italian government to resume training, although players can only train individually. The players and staff have been isolated and the rest of the group will have medical and fitness tests. A Torino player also tested positive for the virus on Wednesday and was placed in quarantine.
Is this what we really asked for when VAR was introduced? Why are the FA asking for outrage? If the naked eye cannot see it, then surely it cannot be offside? Do we really want our beautiful game resorting to this? MAN OF THE MATCH Christian Eriksen. The Dane may well be on his way in January, but he showed he still has the ability to score spectacular goals, and got his stuttering team going in the second half with some typically incisive passing.

Wurzburg kickers is much lower placed on the table but still at home they are very dangerous team and after two good results on the road, I think they are going to win one more game at home and on the other hand unterhaching seems to be better on the road then at home and because of that it is not going to be easy for wurzburger to win but still I expect from them to be able to pull it off and the odd is good enough so I don't have to risk with some handicap on the home team
After the final whistle at Stamford Bridge, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo's thoughts switch to the Europa League and a delayed last-16 second-leg tie at home to Greek side Olympiakos on 6 August. The previous longest campaign for a Premier League team in terms of days was Bradford City's 2000-01 season, which lasted 321 days because of their involvement in the now defunct Intertoto Cup. Should Wolves make it to the Europa League final in Cologne on 21 August, a season suspended for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic will have lasted nearly 400 days and featured 61 games.
I dare take the over 4.5 goals bet in this one as Napoli lost 7-2 at Salzburg 7-0 at Liverpool where they were down 6-0 or 5-0 by half-time already in that one and also lost 5-1 at home to same Salzburg U19 side in their last 3 games played showing a very poor defense and they really have nothing to defend here as they will finish for sure bottom of this group.
Gnabry's Arsenal team-mates Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil even attempted to talk Löw into taking a punt on him, with the forward making his international debut in November 2016, three months after leaving the Premier League. When he was at Arsenal, he was plagued by injury and all these injuries set him back," said Löw. But even at the time, around the 2014 World Cup, he had always been in my thoughts.

However, the Blues have failed to pick a single win in the following six games, losing four of them consecutively before picking up two draws in their last couple of ties.

Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax were knocked out in the group stages as Valencia progressed instead with victory at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Football match from the French lower division and we have Rouen playing host to Vannes. In this match I will bet on the host team to win. The team Rouen is top of the league, they have 37 points from 16 matches played and they show good coordination in defense . They have the best defense so far in the league and it would be difficult for a team like Vannes to score a goal here. At home Rouen has 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Instead, Gascoigne played some of the best football of his career. Some of his goals and assists for Rangers are ridiculous, really. Gazza at his absolute best, surging past midfielders, dummying defenders, lashing past keepers with either foot. A dream to watch. But perhaps his most memorable moment came against Hibs. After a 50-yard run ended with a shot wide, Gascoigne retrieved a yellow card dropped by referee Douglas Smith and returned it in style - brandishing it at the bemused ref.
Real Madrid have been very poor away from home so far in the Clausura with a 1-0-6 record in 7 matches. Especially in the last 5 away games they have looked very poor losing all of them and conceding a total of 15 goals while scoring only 3 goals.
League leaders Bayern followed their impressive 3-0 Champions League win at Chelsea up with a rapid start - without star striker Robert Lewandowski who is out injured for four weeks. Serge Gnabry volleyed home a Thomas Muller cross before Joshua Kimmich doubled their lead. Teenager striker Joshua Zirkzee slotted home from six yards out - his fourth goal in four Bundesliga games. Philippe Coutinho scored twice before Leon Goretzka added a sixth.
After suffering relegation from League 1 last term and coming into the season with a strong squad on paper, Plymouth were pencilled in as promotion favourites before the campaign began. Just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand, the hosts are certainly in the mix and will want to kick on in the second half of the season.
Anthony Taylor will become the first referee to take charge of two FA Cup finals since 1901 when Arsenal face Chelsea at Wembley on 1 August. Referees usually take charge of the FA Cup final just once in their career. The move is because coronavirus rules mean the game will be behind closed doors, and the Football Association does not want a referee’s family to miss out on attending the match. Taylor previously took charge of the 2017 FA Cup final.

Going to the clash, City have 72 points and 18th placed Bournemouth have 31. Manchester City thrashed Brighton 5-0 in their last match, making it the second straight match they have scored five. In their eight matches after lockdown, City have lost two and won the rest emphatically, scoring 25 goals and conceding just three.
Will take the over 2.5 goals bet also in this game from the first league level in Belarus as the guests are 2nd placed right now with 12 points after 6 games played but really took advantage of playing 5 of those games at home where only the league leaders from Slutsk got the win with 3-2, but were also 2-1 down in that game as Isloch Minsk attack is working really well and they have scored in all their games so far even in their solo away game away at the champions from Brest where they ended up losing 3-1 as they are open type of team.
