Hosts only managed a 1-1 draw at home and played awful defending a few days ago away from home at Port MTI FC conceding 4 goals from which 2 goals came after corner kicks one goal after a set piece as well and one goal from the penalty spot as their keeper made a really stupid foul on the striker, so really poor defending and poor morale coming into this one after such a big loss, while the guests are with great morale. Whatever lens you view it through, Saturday's game pits two relatively toothless attacks against each other at the Vitality Stadium, and that in turn makes the under 2.5 total goal market an attractive option for the fixture. That terrible record has set back the visitors, leaving them rooted in the lower reaches of the table. It’s a long way to fall from last season’s playoff final appearance. It’s tough to see the debut of Wayne Rooney doing much to turn around a side who look to have completely lost their way on the road. Real Esteli is hosting Diriangen as slightly favorites this time. The questions is, are they really favorites? Well true odds don't say so and actually they put Diriangen as slightly favorites. True odds would be at 3,29 - 2,64 - 3,16 at the 1 X 2 market accordingly. We have value on the away team and also the draw. Last 6 matches between those two clubs ended under 2.5 goals and especially the last 3 we had only 3 goals total. I'll go for the under 2.5 goals this time. Despite the low odds we can see value on it. True odds is 1,21 and we're betting at 1,50 They have scored in eight of the 10 matches and have scored two goals or more in five of their last 10 games. They have conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10 matches as well. In the Copa del Rey, Real Sociedad are unbeaten in six, winning three matches and keeping four clean sheets. They have three wins, two losses and five draws in their last 10 Copa del Rey matches at home and have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 Copa del Rey matches at home. The team has been in good form in the Europa League, winning three of their first four games but they tasted defeat in their last match, a 1-0 defeat against Krasnodar and they will be looking to avoid another loss here and progress as the winners of Group C. Mexican side Monterrey will take on Al Hilal in the third place playoff game of the FIFA Club World Cup currently underway in Doha, Qatar. To the get to the game at the Khalifa International Stadium, Monterrey fell to Liverpool in the semis as Al Hilal lost at the hands of Flamengo. Monterrey have three wins in their last five matches and eight wins in 10. He was sacked three days later, to be replaced, co-incidentally, by Lincoln manager Danny Cowley. Siewert is not concerned by the damage his ill-fated time with Huddersfield has done to his reputation. The question he has wrestled with since his dismissal, though, is one every manager must contemplate in the face of failure: how do you learn from a negative experience without it shattering your faith in the convictions that got you there?\"Reputation is one thing, but thinking of a 36-year-old manager going to a struggling club - you have to be brave to do that,\" he says. Chelsea just don't have a defence good enough to absorb pressure, and now trail though City haven't yet got going. Oh! Kepa loses concentration and bungles a clearance to Aguero who does the keeper with his eyes and lamps a shot that cannons the bar! Silva then tries to work an angle for Mahrez, but his first touch is heavy and the chance goes. There were no accompanying quotes from MacLennan or Doncaster. No empathy. It was all so matter-of-fact. Insult was added to injury. SPFL vote 'a mess', says GerrardHearts owner Budge angry at SPFL vote outcomeRelegated Stranraer 'disappointed' as Falkirk accept outcomeThe conduct of the SPFL board has been called into question repeatedly during this saga and so it was again after they issued their missive on Wednesday. Erzgebirge AUE are safe at the 9th place with 41 points and they are going to finish around there as there are only 4 rounds until the end of the season so they cannot go up for sure and they don't have to worry about relegation for sure now.St. Pauli on the other hand are in need of points. They are at the 13th place with 35 pts (only 3 more than When and 5 more then Karlsruher who plays their match also today) so they have to won today in order not to put their survival at risk at the same end. Working in football, it’s about having that agility to move with what’s happening in football. We’re guided by football and federations. We have to press on with our work and prepare as normal. The news is the latest in a series of major developments from the world of football. La Liga was shut down for two weeks after Real Madrid were put into quarantine, while Juventus are self-isolating after defender Daniele Rugani tested positive for the virus, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo stuck on his native Madeira. In the end it would be better for football. One of the more ridiculous opinions from Mr Ramos, especially as Messi shouldn’t have even won it this year. IN THE CHANNELS New Liverpool signing Jeremy Corbyn was anonymous in the 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg, despite the fans doing their best to support him: COMING UP Manchester City take out their frustration on poor Dinamo Zagreb, while Tottenham avenge their [score redacted] defeat to Bayern with a beautifully constructed goalless draw at the Allianz Arena. The equation for Shakhtar is very simple: win and they through to the knockout rounds. A draw may be enough for them to go through, but they would then need to rely on Zagreb not beating Man City, which in all fairness isn't overly likely. Arsenal have already conceded two or more goals in 10 separate Premier League games this term, while Everton shipped two or more goals nine times so far this season, and those statistics scream that goal-scoring opportunities should be plentiful at either end on Merseyside on Saturday. More than 1,200 cases have been confirmed in about 30 other countries and there have been more than 20 deaths. Italy reported two more deaths on Monday, raising the total there to five. In rugby union, Italy v Scotland in the Women's Six Nations was postponed on Sunday. Pro14 games involving Ospreys and Ulster in Italy next weekend have been called off. Ospreys were due to play Zebre in Parma with Treviso the venue for Ulster's game against Benetton. PRAGUE, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Slavia coach Jindrich Trpisovsky's coaching career has propelled him from the rough-and-tumble lower echelons of Czech football to Barcelona's hallowed Camp Nou - an unlikely journey that the baseball-cap wearing coach describes as a dream. Trpisovsky roamed the sidelines of the Czech third tier only six years ago but is now operating at the highest level in Europe club football while earning an impressive reputation with his attacking philosophy. Bolivar and Blooming will face each other in the upcoming match in the Clausura in Bolivia. Bolivar this season have the following results: 13W, 3D and 3L. Meanwhile Blooming have 8W, 2D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring. I have known him for three-and-a-half years, he has made big steps, will 100% be a Liverpool player, if nothing strange happens. Great. That he scores that goal? I am not surprised. He is for these situations. Still a lot to learn, a lot to improve. Sometimes people forget in training, he is 18, unbelievable,\" he said. Both teams are in the relegation zone and not in great form the hosts having two defeats in a row while Bastia has 3 defeats and a draw in their last 4 games played, but really no need to be paying for odds of just 1.70 on the home win as they are both weak sides just 3 points separating them in the league at this moment, and neither will be satisfied with a draw here, so better take the long shot on the bigger odds in this one.
