It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.
Odds should go down even further on the away win in this one as Slutsk reserves in two games so far scored no less than 7 goals even defeating the reserve side of Brest who the big team won the title in Belarus last season so really cannot be that bad at reserve level but in round 2 they played at Slutsk 2 and lost the game with no less than 5-1 in the end while in round 1 Slutsk 2 also won at home with 2-1 against Slavia Mozyr 2 so two wins from two games played.
SIDE NETTING! The ball is played over to Ostroukh, who is in acres of space and has time to line up a shot from about 10 yards out at an angle, but he can only fire it into the side netting. The substitute is right to look disappointed with himself. RED CARD! BGU are down to 10 men! Musahagian is late with the tackle and that's enough to earn the No.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has defended Antonio Rudiger after he was criticised for his part in Tottenham forward Son Heung-min's red card on Sunday. Spurs manager Jose Mourinho was unhappy with the Blues defender's reaction to Son's challenge in Chelsea's 2-0 win. Lampard said it was "disappointing" to question Rudiger's integrity while an investigation into alleged racial abuse directed at the German is ongoing.

Ruh Brest will host Energetik-BGU for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will have not be an easy task. They are rookies in this league. However, they will try to make a positive result on the home field. Also, in previous game Ruh Brest is won 0-1 against Dinamo Minsk (away) On the other hand Energetik is very average team in this league. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. In any case, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. In last game Energetik is won 3-1 against BATE. I expect, this will be tense match. My pick - Ruh Brest to win.
Luton Town will host Preston North End for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. Preston are more ambitious team in this season. They will try to make a positive result. True, Preston have a poor results in the last matches. They have three consecutive losses. However, they played against more strong rivals. On the other hand Luton want also to win. Hosts will try to capitalize on their advantage at home stadium. However, they were weaker team. Luton is team of the relegation zone. They have a very difficult task. I think, the visitors will try to break the poor series.
Pep Guardiola admitted after his Man City side's 3-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday that his assistant could leave for his former club. If it happens, it will happen. When he wants to talk we are open to talk but it's private, I don't want to make things uncomfortable. Nick Ames, of the Guardian, reports that the Gunners were hoping to give Ljungberg until May before making a permanent appointment but a run of only one win in five under the Swede has forced their hand.

The coach hinted on Sunday that United might look to a short-term deal for a striker to help them to the end of the season. BLADES HEADING FOR EUROPE? Sheffield United's 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Saturday was another indicator of just how well the promoted side have adjusted to top-flight life and raises the prospect of the Yorkshire club qualifying for the Europa League next season.
Remember it is literally his job to take a collection of players and put them into a cohesive system that produces results. Therefore, Mourinho selected a player who has struggled with the physical demands of the Premier League in a two-man midfield alongside a player, in Oliver Skipp, who played 120 minutes in the cup during the week, with five - yes FIVE - centre-halves behind him.
And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
After so many years of watching Hennessey going from the sublime to the horrendous in a matter of minutes, not to mention the Steve Mandanda failure and gradual ageing of club legend Julian Speroni, Palace fans have fallen in love with a man who oozes class and consistency, on and off the pitch. He was one supposed to be the heir to Santiago Canizares at Valencia before agent mishap saw him leave his boyhood club.
What is even more impressive is that United have hit this form without their best striker, the injured Marcus Rashford, and with their record signing Paul Pogba also sidelined. Tactically, United have proved to be an unpredictable opponent -- still strong on the counter-attack, they have shown themselves capable of more dominant possession football at times as their first half display in last week's draw at Everton proved.
It could be exactly what they need - but it is not without risk. Media playback is not supported on this device Mourinho's Man Utd ups and downs Which Mourinho will Spurs get?This will be the deciding factor on determining whether Levy's gamble works. Will it be the Mourinho who had such success in two spells at Chelsea, or the Mourinho who was so disconnected at Manchester United, living in a hotel while keeping a base in London and eventually sacked, unloved and surrounded by ill-feeling?Will it be the smart, humorous Mourinho who produced winning teams, or the embittered individual who raged at the world in his final months at Old Trafford?Levy, evidently, is banking on the former in both cases.

Initially it seemed Matt Doherty's assist would be ruled out for handball but replays showed that the ball bounced against his stomach. When the chance was presented to Jota he turned in one movement and struck a low shot through the legs of Tim Krul. Jota's second was also reviewed by VAR. The striker was offside when the ball was initially played into the area but drifted back onside to tap in Romain Saiss' volleyed cross.
I think I could be back stronger,” he said. Laporte has missed most of the currently interrupted campaign with a knee injury suffered during City’s 4-0 win over Brighton in September. He made his return in January, but limped off after just 33 minutes of the 2-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg win at Real Madrid on 26 February - City’s final game before football was halted. But the 25-year-old, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, said: “After the Real Madrid game it was not a big injury.
Eddie Howe's side managed 14 shots in total, more than any other away league team at the Etihad during Guardiola's reign. A combination of bad luck and poor finishing means they do not have anything tangible to show for it, at least in terms of points that are so precious to them in their current situation. But there were positives, not least the way they avoided any further damage to their goal difference - something Howe must have feared before the game given City's current form.
A game the visitors had in the palm of their hand was all of a sudden up for grabs. The ebb and flow made for compulsive viewing but still the chances mainly fell Celtic's way. A Christie cross almost made its way straight into the net. A break involving Christie and Jonny Hayes then set up Edouard. His fourth big chance of the game - an instinctive first-time toe-poke - brought out the third big save from Johnsson.
Asked whether Bale is now destined to move on, Calderon added: "The problem is there are no offers. It happened last summer when (Real manager Zinedine) Zidane said the sooner he leaves, the better. I think he was a bit fed up with the situation. Apparently only one club from China wanted to sign him. The salary is high, that's another problem. It's going to be something that the club, the agent and the player must decide.
It is impossible not to imagine Liverpool fans doing the same at the point when their 30-year wait reaches its end, which could be as soon as Saturday. The fact Liverpool could achieve the feat inside their own - closed - stadium, with fans outside waiting to celebrate is surreal. One could forgive the Premier League, police, local council and anyone else who would have to deal with this situation wanting it wrapped up very quickly before the present advice changes.
The Everton manager admitted that his language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the fixture amounted to improper conduct and also accepted the standard penalty," the FA said in a statement on Thursday. The decision means Ancelotti will be available on the touchline for Everton's league trip to his former club Chelsea on Sunday.
Sao Paulo have no losses in their last six home games. LDU Quito last won an away game in this competition 12 years ago. LDU Quito's away performances are nothing like those achieved at home in high altitude. It's early days in the group stages of the Copa Libertadores but Sao Paulo will want to get a win here.
Paper Round's view: It's a tough position for Dean Smith to be in. His side are struggling in the league despite spending big in the summer and now his £22 million forward is sidelined with injury for the remainder of the season. To make things worse, his only forward option, Kodjia, has featured just six times in the league this season, all coming as a substitute, which says a lot about how much his manager rates him.
City have been given individual training programmes and are advised to stay at home for the remainder of the week, while United are expected to follow suit after they canclled training at Carrington on Tuesday. O'Neill in limbo over Northern Ireland Michael O'Neill's future as Northern Ireland manager is in doubt following the postponement of Euro 2020.
However, for all they're struggling and seemingly on the way down, the Shrimpers have got some half-respectable results on the road of late. They only lost by a single goal away against Sunderland, while they drew 1-1 with both Tranmere and Burton.

Match where team Greuther Furth will play with team Stuttgart. Hosts have some problems with their shape. They missed 8 goals in the last 3 matches. But they scored goals last 5 matches. Guests have a good shape. Stuttgart did 3 wins at the last 3 matches played. There they scored 6 goals. My bet will be here over 3.5 goals. Both clubs have a strong attack. Both teams have some chances to reach a place to highest league. Our clubs have a big motivation to win a match. I recommend to try this bet with me for good odds !
Chelsea staged a stunning late comeback to snatch victory and wreck Mikel Arteta's return to Emirates Stadium as Arsenal manager. Arteta, taking charge of his first home game since succeeding sacked Unai Emery, looked on course for three important points after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's early header put the Gunners in front. Chelsea, with manager Frank Lampard making a first-half tactical switch when he introduced Jorginho for the struggling Emerson, were gifted an equaliser seven minutes from time when goalkeeper Bernd Leno hopelessly misjudged Mason Mount's free-kick to leave the substitute with a simple finish.
I've lived in this town since 1986 and the football club is different to other clubs," said Pulis on BBC Radio 5 Live at the end of January. There's no way he would still be in a job elsewhere but this club knows they owe Eddie a massive favour in the way he's brought them forward and turned them around. Look at the stadium compared to when I played, the training ground, he's built something special and people in the town understand he's done a wonderful job.
CFR Cluj hosts none of the most successful sides in Europa League in recent times, Sevilla, in the second round of the competition, with both teams having had good runs in the group stages. To get to this point, is already an achievement for Cluj, having come from a group with Lazio, Rennes and Celtic.
Talking Point - Too little, too late The way City struggled to rouse themselves compared to a more energetic Sheffield United hints at a lethargy in the squad. Whether it is mental, physical, or both, this is obviously an imperfect setup at the Etihad. Maybe the transfer window will bring them something to freshen up the environment.

Media playback is not supported on this device How can fallen giants AC Milan return to greatness? According to an opinion from the authority to the Milan municipality which owns the site, the arena does not have any architectural significance that would prevent its demolition. The San Siro has undergone several redevelopments and only a small remnant of the oldest part of the stadium remains. City representatives, including Milan's mayor Giuseppe Sala, had repeatedly questioned plans to completely demolish the San Siro and the clubs have modified initial projects which would have seen the entire stadium destroyed.

Portsmouth haven’t had the start they wanted but are starting to pull themselves back together and are undefeated in their last five. They have four wins and four draws at home, and given that they have earned 67% of their points at Fratton Park, they know that their home form is key to their recovery. The hosts have scored in all but one home game so far but have yet to beat any side who is placed higher than them in the league this season. The two higher placed visitors to Fratton Park so far were Oxford and Coventry, who drew 1-1 and 3-3 respectively.

In this friendly match between Sputnik and Khimik Svetlogorsk, I expect a lot of goals and I think that the home team is able to dominate this game and win with a lot of goals. Sputnik has the better squad and they should show that the difference between those teams is huge. The visitors conceded many goals in the league and on away they play even worse. I think that they will not concede less than two goals here against good offensive players of Sputnik' s team. I pick here the home side to win and they should cover this pick
There are two full rounds of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers scheduled for the international window later this month, while the African Champions League and Confederation Cup club competitions are in the knockout stages.
