The first goal was a wonder goal. The second goal was a lapse in concentration. We had chances in the game, opportunities to be ruthless, and we didn't really commit to it. Earlier on Thursday, tournament debutants Spain beat Japan 3-1 at the Exploria Stadium thanks to two second-half goals from 21-year-old Lucia Garcia.
Clearly there remains more work to be done by the football authorities in tackling this issue and we are committed to working with them on this to stamp it out. The FA, Premier League and English Football League have significantly stepped up their efforts, but we expect them to continue to prioritise this issue and to consult with both players and supporter groups, and we will be monitoring how the football authorities implement their plans through the season.
I really fear for the Cherries. We are used to them being open at the back but their attacking players usually cause real problems for opposition teams and I don't know what has happened to them all. At the moment it looks like they are going down - it just feels like there is a pall of relegation hanging over the club and their performances at the moment are nowhere near good enough to change that.
It's not easy to pinpoint where Charlton are going wrong. They're not the best defensively, but it's not as if they're visibly too weak to compete at this level, while despite failing to win since October, they never receive a battering.

In their own division, Le Mans have not been in great form, but they did win their most recent match, which was at this venue. Scoring three goals on route to victory on that occasion should've raised confidence levels slightly. The fact that they also scored three goals on route to beating Ligue 1's Nice in the previous round will have the hosts feeling confident too.
5 round on Belarus Vysshaya league match between Shakhtyor and Slutsk. After 4 round Shakhtyor is on 4 position on table and have 2 wins one draw and one lost games with goal different 7:5. On the another side Slutsk is on 12 position on table and have one win, 2 draw and one lost games with goal difference 2:1.

My prediction is over 2.5 goals. Good luck

Without a head coach following Marcello Lippi's resignation last month, China have sent a reserve squad under the care of former Everton midfielder Li Tie, who led Wuhan Zall to sixth place in the Chinese Super League in the just-completed season.
This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides and having drawn in their last match in this competition, Delfin will hope to stun Santos in Brazil. With their form in the Copa Libertadores, Deflin will feel they have a chance here but Santos are a tough side and it will be at home, which adds to their advantage. With 11 wins in 14 home matches, Santos stand out as favorites and we are backing them for a 2-0 win.
Brighton were able to reach the semi-finals of this competition last season before a narrow loss to Man City ended their hopes. They’ll be keen for another trip to Wembley this season though, although a tough game against Sheffield Wednesday stands in their way. Brighton had a tough journey to the semi-finals last season though, beating Bournemouth in the third round before beating three Championship sides before their loss against Man City so they definitely have pedigree in beating opponents at their own level in this competition.

I know they are without Harry Kane and he is a big miss but they coped without him last year, when they went with the pace of Lucas Moura and Son-Heung Min. Media playback is not supported on this device Harry Kane is irreplaceable - Mourinho Mourinho has to come up with something here - and he really should be able to find a way to beat the Premier League's bottom team at home. Norwich played well when these two sides met at Carrow Road last month, but they have the worst away record in the Premier Division so it is hard to see them getting anything this time.
The Premier League should consider delaying its planned restart so players have more time to get match fit, says Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce. Clubs will meet on Monday to discuss rules around training during the coronavirus pandemic. The league is aiming to resume on 12 June but Bruce wants to restart later.

Znamya Truda will against Rotor-2 in match Russia Club Friendlies. My prediction this match could be the end score is won or draw for Znamya Truda. Znamya Truda have better result on last 4 match in club friendlies due to Znamya Truda have won in 1 match, 2 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Rotor-2 have also good result on last 2 match in club friendlies due to Rotor-2 have won in 1 match and 1 match is draw. Nevertheless, I think Znamya Truda can beat Rotor-2 due to Znamya Truda more better in every home match. Surely Znamya Truda have more chance to win on this match.

Swindon town fc will host Crewe Alexandra fc on Saturday, that is meeting against the top log leaders against the third ranked team, that is a league two game. My analysis is based on their past head to head encounter results that's why I chose the away team to get the whole points here because their head to head are as follows, the home team won two and the visitors won three and their last head to head game Crewe won 4-1 so Here I think history will repeat itself.

Lechia is playing good this season and still have chances to get the qualification to the Europa league by the Polish Cup. The team has remained undefeated in 4 of the last 5 game and have 49 points while the Jagiellonia have remained undefeated in 4 games and won against Cracovia. The hosts played against Legia at home in the last game, while Lechia does not present a stable form. It is hard to expect many chances from guests in Bialystok, especially that this season they have already lost 3: 0 here, and in Gdańsk they only managed to draw a goalless. The only obstacle for Jaga may be injuries in the team, so a draw cannot be ruled out in this match.

The Premier League has been suspended since 13 March but all clubs remain committed to playing the remaining fixtures of 2019-20 and there was no discussion at the meeting about voiding the season. Everybody wants to know where we are going and when we are going to play, but I think the important thing to stress before we get into the processes is that in reality it is not a decision that Southampton Football Club is making and in a lot of ways not really one that the Premier League make on their own," added Semmens.

My pick for this match in Bundesliga between Schalke 04 vs Werder Bremen is Werder to win. Odd is 2.90. Schalke is playing very poorly this season. They haven't won a single match in the last 5 matches. Bremen have won 4 times in the last 5 direct matches. No doubt the goals in this match is likely to be on the high side. Looks like that's the outcome when they meet. All of the last 5 meetings have 3 ended with over 2.5 goals. I think that Werder Bremen will win this match 2:1. They fight to stay in the league.
