Both sides were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage. Shakhtar lost two of their home group games so Benfica have no reason to be scared of going to the Ukraine.

The 39-year-old will work with manager Gernot Rohr and replaces Imama Amapakabo in the technical crew of the three-times African champions.

Puszcza will host Chojniczanka for this fixture of the league. I think, both teams will try to make a positive result. In any case, this will be tense match. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, this is a very unpredictable league. In previous game Puszcza is won 3-5 against Zaglebie Sosnowiec. On the other hand Chojniczanka is worst team in the league. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. However, they have nothing to lose. No doubt, they have a very difficult task in this game. However, they will provide strong resistance. My pick - Chojniczanka Chojnice to win.

English Premier League ! Newcastle United will play with team Leicester City. Hosts lost last 2 their matches. Their shape is not well. Also they have a problems with players before that match. For example: Clark , Leskelles , Maximen and Ki SO EN are injures. Guests are leaders in the table ( 2 nd place as we see ) .Leicester won last match with West Ham. Their shape is not bad. I want to try them. In this year Leicester won with Newcastle (5 - 0 ) . Hosts are weakest team in this moment. It is not impossible to repeat that result again. My choice for Leicester .
Dnepr Mogilev was relegated from the top tier in the previous season, and they have already made some fusions earlier, where played under the name Dynapro. Team is having financial issues for longer time, and they should be among the mid league rivals in the season.
Kayseri will be meeting today with the away team Goztepe and this game we have given it an under of 2.5 total goals as looking at the last games that this two teams have played together they are very used of scoring under of 2.5 total goals and so in this game we can say that the trend will continue
The club have been linked with AC Milan's Krzysztof Piatek among others. Do we need a striker? Yes, but it has to be a positive move for us.

The hosts have made Griffin Park a tough place to go of late, with some fine form at this ground putting the hosts on their way to the playoffs. Brentford are third in the second tier and they are emerging as the main challengers to the top two. While the Bees are likely to fall a little short of cutting the nine-point gap to second, their strong home record should push them close.
Mourinho needs to ditch the defeatist stuff and get Spurs back on track because only six days earlier spirits were soaring after victory as Aston Villa. High farce, even by VAR's lofty standards'Any record of this match would be incomplete without reference to an incident that constituted high farce, even by VAR's lofty standards.
You think 'aye aye' it's one of those afternoons," Newcastle boss Steve Bruce told the BBC. I think we deserved a chance, it was difficult with a team dropping deep. It was hard going but I think we deserved it. I do believe VAR was right, it's a blatant penalty and a red card as he is over the top of the ball.
WHO IS INTERESTED? Osimhen reportedly had plenty of interest from the Premier League last winter, but it is not clear which teams will realistically make a move for him this summer. Chelsea had hoped to partner him with Tammy Abraham, while Liverpool saw him as a possible stand-in for Roberto Firmino.
Leixoes vs Penafiel is this match in Portugal for Segunda where the host is my favorite who will win this match. They are in good shape right now. They, so far, after 14 matches have 23 points and are in the top zone. And will prove too much for the visitors. They suffered 1 defeat in their last 5 matches and at home they have 4 wins in the last 4 matches and said this they will earn another and make it 5 here.
Liverpool's Premier League title-winning celebrations were slightly dampened as they were thrashed by deposed champions Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side ended an agonising 30-year wait for the top-flight title when City lost at Chelsea last week, but were resoundingly hammered on their return to action. The Reds, who were given a guard of honour by the hosts before kick-off, could have taken the lead at Etihad Stadium but Mohamed Salah's low drive cannoned off the post.

Five of Villa's last 10 games are against top-seven clubs but that does not matter as much as it might have done normally according to Lawro, who says: "The form that teams are in once they restart will be all that matters when you consider which games are most difficult in the run-in"This is a chance for them to put that behind them, though. They were on a run of four straight league defeats when the season stopped, but it won't feel like that because it is so long ago that they last played - 100 days, exactly, since they lost 4-0 at Leicester on 9 March.
Manchester United celebrate their win at the Nou CampGetty Images The hour after the match, when United stayed on the pitch to celebrate first with each other and then the supporters, has stayed with every player.

We were in a position where we were going into the Yugoslavia game knowing a win would take us through. It was a sterling showing and remains the last time Brazil were denied victory by Scotland. I watched the highlights recently and what impressed me was how balanced the team was," said Hay. They didn't have Pele, but you are still playing against that magic yellow jersey. In the first 10 minutes we were under the cosh a wee bit, but from then on we were slightly the better team.

How are the police going to man it? How are they health services going to react to incidents that happen off the back of it and do we need to put any more pressure on the services at this point in time?"However, if those fears could be overcome somewhere down the line within this 12-week period then [behind closed doors games] could be the case.

Nurnberg's travelling efforts have been very up and down. Going forward, they've been very effective, scoring no less than 14 goals in seven away games. Only one team in the entire division has notched more on the road than Monday's visitors. However, at the other end, Nurnberg have struggled big time, shipping 13. Somewhat strangely, Nurnberg have kept three clean sheets on their travels, which means that the 13 goals they've conceded have come in four games. When they do concede, the flood gates tend to open, which doesn't bode well ahead of a match against one of the best attacking teams in the division.
What he’s done in Europe will not be repeated.
