Victory over Brighton lifted the gloom and against Villa there was an intensity from the first whistle that suggests a returning appetite for the struggle. Full-back Adam Smith hit the side-netting before being flagged offside while a long-range effort from Billing tested Villa keeper Pepe Reina. Denmark midfielder Billing did find the back of the net after a wayward free-kick was kept in play by skipper Simon Francis, whose cross was met by Dan Gosling, who nodded it down for Billing to sweep in a left-footed finish from eight yards out.
Hearts' backline, encouraged by their manager, stepped very high and were exposed by Wallace's vision and delivery. He sent a first-time ball over the top for Obika, who held off challenges to force in. There was a suggestion that the ball hit his hand as he ran through. No-one in black and white cared as the home supporters erupted, sensing how big a step to safety this might become. Jakubiak came close to a second when Zlamal touched his shot past before Stendel made changes to make something happen, changes that brought fury from the increasingly desperate travelling support.
In front of their own fans, Portsmouth are incredibly tough to stop, but they're not amazingly tough to score against. Four of the last six teams to visit Fratton Park have found the net, which bodes well for Wimbledon who've tended to score on the road this term, even against the better teams. The Dons have scored in 75% of their visiting matches – they've conceded in 100% – and have notched at least once in six out of seven away games against teams currently in the top half. Couple this with Portsmouth's scoring record at home and 'Both Teams to Score' stands out as a viable option.

In Spain, Deportivo La Coruna and Rayo Vallecano are expected to meet each other in a La Liga 2 match which will be held at Riazor stadium, La Coruna city. In the table, Deportivo takes position 20 with 37 points after playing 33 matches while Vallecano takes position 8 with 47 points after playing 33 matches. The teams have resumed their matches after the long break and we expect a stiff competition here where Deportivo will be the hosts.
Paper Round's view: The Champions League change spells trouble for the competition. It seems to favour the so-called 'big clubs' ahead of teams like Leicester City, who managed to reach the quarter-finals following their Premier League title win back in 2016. The main idea seems to be edging towards the inevitable European Super League, which has been discussed in the past.
Dukla Prague and Vitkovice will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2. Dukla Prague this season have the following results: 14W, 2D and 9L. Meanwhile Vitkovice have 3W, 4D and 17L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
LONDON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Eugenie Le Sommer is two goals away from breaking France's all-time scoring record and has won multiple trophies with club side Olympique Lyonnais, but she says her main goal going into the new year is simply to keep her place in the team. The forward has won every trophy there is with Lyon since joining in 2010, scoring 13 league goals last season to help them secure another treble that included record-extending triumphs in the league (17th title), the French Cup (10) and Champions League (6).
Salford City vs Northampton predictions for Saturday's match in League Two. Mid-table rivals Salford and Northampton clash in League Two this weekend where a win for the visitors could see them move into the playoff places. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
FC Ostrovets won the first match of the new season against Ivatsevichi on away 3:2 and it was a great play. They showed that even that they are underdogs they are able to beat better opponents. I think that at home they will be even better and they should win another match. Kronos failed to win their first match against Pershiy Region and they lost points after a 1:1 draw. Kronos was not the best in away matches so I see a chance here for Ostrovets to pick the second win of this season. Good odds for this pick and I will try this
Of course, that goals are my first option in this duel from Swiss Superleague and I will bet on that option, because it is more than ok and real. So, Young Boys is team who is this season surely the strongest, similar like it was the case in last two seasons, when they are won the title. Still, in last four matches, their defense was very problematic and team is played 1-2, 1-2, 4-3 and 4-3. This match surely will bring similar situation on the court and I will bet on over 3,5. For me, that is very real and ok to try.
Not that the Spurs fans will mind too much – this change in strategy has seen their goalscoring ability rise dramatically, scoring 16 goals in these seven matches and winning five of them. They may be behind the curve when it comes to beating high level opposition, but they certainly know how to make their dominance count against the lesser sides.
I've seen a few good ones, yeah," he noted. I've played with Wazza myself. Obviously natural finishing, he's one of the best I've seen. I knew we had got a top talent there and I think this club is the best at recognising that and, for me, developing talent like this. There's no better place for him to be than here.
Torpedo Zhodino is the favorite this time playing at home and indeed it is! Bet on 1, a Torpedo Zhodino win against Zorka BDU Minsk. Torpedo Zhodino fair odds seem to be 1.82, so it's quite underrated by the bookies at odds of 2.05 or even higher, there is great value on this bet. I would say this is indeed the best of the weekend. Zorka BDU Minsk is way way overrated across all bookies at the odds of 3.40 as their fair odds should be at 5.60. I have no doubts about Torpedo superiority and at this home win!

Interestingly, much of West Brom's best work has come on the road this season. In fact, Slaven Bilic's men have claimed four more points away than they have at The Hawthorns. They're unsurprisingly, the Championship's top travelling point scorers. The Baggies have won three of their last five on the road and are unbeaten in their last seven, five of which they've emerged victorious from.
But the hosts rallied and equalised when Kevin de Bruyne's shot hit Kurt Zouma and wrongfooted goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Riyad Mahrez put the reigning champions - who move above Chelsea into third place - ahead with a fine finish after cutting in from the right wing. Both sides could have scored more in a chaotic first half, City going closest when Sergio Aguero hit the crossbar after a poor clearance by Kepa.
FRIDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Aubameyang set for Arsenal exit - Paper Round 'Mesut Ozil should be annoyed' - Freddie Ljungberg Why Arsenal v Man City was not shown in China after Ozil comments Solskajer admits Greenwood on verge of claiming Manchester United starting berth Ljungberg calls for Arsenal manager decision 10:15 - Napoli rule out Ibrahimovic move Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to have set his sights on a move to Serie A after leaving LA Galaxy but he won't be on his way to Napoli, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis ruling out a move.
Solskjaer's side are unbeaten in 13 Premier League games (W8 D5), which is now the Norwegian's best run in the competition with the Red Devils and his best league run in his managerial career with a single club. West Ham have dropped 26 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other team in the competition in 2019-20. Man Utd's Greenwood has become the first player to score 10 Premier League goals in a season as a teenager since Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14), and the first English player to do so since Wayne Rooney in 2004-05 (11).
Former Milan player Mario Pasalic rubbed further salt into their wounds by also scoring. It was the fourth time Milan have lost a Serie A match by a five-goal margin and the first since 1998. Gomez opened the scoring in the 10th minute, nutmegging a hapless Andrea Conti before firing a right-foot shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma in the tenth minute.
Slutsk will host Belshina for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts are strong favorite against this weak opponent and I expect they to dominate from the start match. Slutsk is one of the best teams at the start of the new campaign. They are currently on the 1st position with 10 points. In any case, the hosts want to win. They will try to make a positive result on the home field. Also, we have Belshina who's is worst team in this league. They are currently on the 16th place with 2 points. The visitors have low potential and for me they could lose.
Otherwise there are currently only two other scenarios. Scenario A: Coutinho is offset against Inter Milan on the Martínez deal, but would then have to go back to his first European club, where he was not really happy. Additionally, it is not yet clear how the situation will develop in northern Italy, which has been hit so hard by the coronavirus.
Atalanta raced to a two-goal lead before being pegged back to 2-2 by halftime but then scored three more in a devastating 15-minute spell early in the second half and added another two late in the game for good measure. Lecce's Giulio Donati scored at both ends. Serie A's leading scorers took their tally to 70 goals in 25 games as they stayed fourth in the table, and in the Champions League spots, with 48 points.

Gorodeya are strugglng for form and goals but this is a decent chance to get some points. Neman Grodno aren't that bad a side but their away form is letting them down with just one point and one goal. That's compared to having the fourth best home record in the Belarus Premier League. With Gorodeya having onlly scored two home league goals (seven goals in total in four at home), the suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
Borussia Monchengladbach are going to have cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands, with supporters of any team able to have one of themselves for a €19 (£16. Every Bundesliga team has been in quarantine, just going from a hotel to their training ground for the week leading up to these games, and players will be regularly tested for coronavirus. There will be a total of 213 people allowed in the stadium - 98 around the pitch (including players, coaches, ball boys and photographers) and another 115 in the stands (including officials and media).
The so-called failure at Manchester United still included Carabao Cup and Europa League success in his first season. This is different. Yes, many Spurs fans had questioned Pochettino's approach and demeanour this season, but the 47-year-old still retained huge affection and admiration for what he had achieved. Mourinho's arrival has not just been greeted in many quarters with suspicion and incredulity, but also hostility on two counts.
I'm pretty sure that Barcelona will not have any problems to win this match in Primera because of many reasons. First fact is that one, that Barca is very motivated, because in first part of season, they are lost against this rival and they want to beat them now at Nou Camp. Second fact is form of both rivals - Barca is beat in Cup Leganes even 5-0 and guests are without win in last few matches, just one draw and four loses in last five matches. Yes, Barca will destroy them tonight and that is pretty clear to expect here.
Under pressure, and with just the keeper to beat, the Scot chests the ball under control and lifts it sublimely over Grace Moloney's head and into the corner of the net. Lauren James – Manchester United The James family is overflowing with talent with Lauren putting hers on full display in Manchester United's 3-1 win over Everton and brother Reece breaking into Frank Lampard's first team at Chelsea this season.
Holders Manchester City continued their FA Cup defence with a dominant fourth-round victory over Fulham in which they became the first major European team to score 100 goals this season. Any prospect of the Championship side producing an upset was effectively over after six minutes, when defender Tim Ream hauled down Gabriel Jesus in the area and was sent off. Raheem Sterling and Jesus had missed their previous two penalties, but Ilkay Gundogan avoided making it an unwanted hat-trick when he tucked the ball into the corner from the spot.
Follow Sunday's Premier League liveBlades' week of VARA bizarre second goal in United's 2-0 home defeat by Newcastle on Thursday led Blades manager Chris Wilder to say that football was "sucking the life" from him. Whether or not today's events have changed his opinion, there is no doubt that the visitors' final 16 minutes would have been much more uncomfortable had the red card been allowed to stand.
