The Brazilian needed treatment during PSG's victory against Montpellier on Saturday, before then celebrating his 28th birthday at a Parisian nightclub 24 hours later. Manager Thomas Tuchel said his team selection would not be influenced by the timing of the party. Is it the best way to prepare for a match? No, clearly not," he said.
These odds are really interesting to bet on this outcome: Lecce has just stopped Inter on a 1-1 draw but they had lost the previous 4 games in a row, because of a very poor attack above all, considering that they have scored no goal in 3 of those matches. Verona is instead playing very well and they can certainly count on a very good defense at home, considering that they have conceded just 11 goals in their 10 home matches. In the first game between these teams, no more than a goal has been scored, so this match could be quite tight too: it could stay Under.

Giggs said he was “comfortable” playing on the right, though he has more recently spoken of his irritation at not being picked in the centre of midfield. The team that Ferguson picked was a bespoke solution to a bespoke problem. Indeed, in his first three Champions League finals at United, he picked an XI that had never played together before, and would never do so again.
PSG have now scored in their last 31 away games in Ligue 1, just one shy of the French top-flight record set by Sedan between 1957-59. Kehrer doubled the lead in the 57th minute, heading in a Di Maria corner for PSG's 100th goal in all competitions this season. Simon pulled one back by scoring from close range after benefiting from a defensive blunder by Presnel Kimpembe, but PSG were still a cut above as they claimed their 10th win in their last 11 league matches.
Naftan started this season with a clash against Gomel where they were underdogs. They played pretty solid in the defensive and they got one point after a draw. Naftan still looks good and at home, they should show their real skills. The home advantage is very important for them and I expect them to win this match. Lida failed to win the first match against Orsha where they were favorites. They conceded three goals and scored two. I don't think that after a bad match they will improve much and win against Nafta. My pick here is Naftan to pick three points
All things considered, we're more than happy to back Chivas Guadalajara to secure victory with maximum confidence and feel it provides good value at current prices. Chivas aren't finding goals hard to come by of late and they should be able to put a couple past a pretty weak Juarez team; with a 2-0 margin of home victory on the cards.
In the 18th round of the EPL, Tottenham welcomes Chelsea. Tottenham is ranked 7th on the table with 26 points while Chelsea has 29 and is 4`th. Chelsea holds the CL place that Tottenham desires and after this match I expect them to be leveled on points. Tottenham has 5-2-1 at home with also a rock solid defense which is the second home defense of the league. Tottenham is resurrected under Mourinho and they play much better, with enthusiasm. They played some great matches lately and they are on a roll. Chelsea has dropped a lot and they lost 4 of the last 5. They lost to the likes of West Ham and Bournemouth at home which doesn't look good for this match.
The Argentine took over a declining Atletico side in 2012 and turned them into one of the top sides in Europe, his success underpinned by superb fitness levels, allowing his team to relentlessly press opponents and survive bruising encounters. Fitness coach Oscar 'El Profe' Ortega, whose unforgiving sessions have been known to cause players to vomit, was the architect of this fitness revolution but his relationship with the squad has become strained.
In the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen hosts Dortmund. The hosts are ranked fifth on the table with 34 points while Dortmund is ranked third with 39 points. The home side doesn`t have so strong home form and the away side has also dropped plenty of points on the travels. Dortmund has big dominance over Bayer in the past seasons and they lost just once while they won even 7 times. Dortmund is the team on the scoring front foot and they scored 17 goals in the last 4 matches. They will be missing Reus but they have Halland, Sancho, and Witsell. Al capable of scoring goals.
They will hope for a better turn when they host struggling Fiorentina. Lazio heads to this clash still placed second with 62 points and Fiorentina are 13th with 31 points. A place in the Champions League seems assured for Lazio but they will wish for better – dethroning Juventus, who are four points ahead.
Petra Kvitova is the highest seeded player and takes on Aryna Sablenka as she bids to win her first WTA title since 2018.

SPAL is in 19th place with 12 points while Verona is in 12th place with 19 points. Verona seems to be more good at this moment but however they aren't safe. 5 points more than Brescia that is in 18th place isn't a safety situation and I think Verona will look for points here.
Meanwhile, Santos are also a highly expansive and entertaining side but are also one of the strongest teams in the country. Indeed, Peixe have put in a good campaign under Jorge Sampaoli and come into this game in 2nd place and already assured of their place in the group phase of next year's Copa Libertadores.
In their last four home matches, they have one win, and one clean sheet in the last five home matches. Genk have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four games at home.

Zhodino have had problems scoring goals this season, despite winning matches. They made up for that with a 5-2 away win at the weekend and are now second, two points off the top of the table. Their away form is good with two wins this season and they will be confident of getting another victory here. Slavia Mozyr are in seventh but have already lost three league games and conceded 12 goals (their opponents have only conceded four in seven games). Go for an away win here.
Fortuna Dusseldorf went the same way on penalties in the quarter-finals after a dramatic finale. Saarbrucken had looked set for a 1-0 victory before Mathias Jorgensen's injury-time equaliser - set up by goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier after he came up for a corner - took the game to extra time. Saarbrucken were twice one spot-kick away from being eliminated but Batz became the first keeper to save four penalties in a German Cup shootout since Opta started recording those statistics.
Paper Round’s view: Red Bull’s control over both sides means that Salzburg can be used as a testing ground for Leipzig, and allows them the chance to give younger players a chance before bringing them in for a cut-price fee. However, Haaland will be able to exercise some control over his future and presumably could in fact refuse to join any club but the one he ultimately elects to choose, assuming a transfer fee is agreed.

It was during this period that United boss Sir Alex Ferguson famously revelled in having "knocked Liverpool off their perch". The Reds have come close during that time to restoring themselves to the top of the English game, finishing second in the Premier League on four occasions. Gerard Houllier (2001-02) and Rafael Benitez (2008-09) both took them close. Famously, in the 2013-14 season, Brendan Rodgers' side looked as though they were going to take the crown but a late-season slump - synonymous with a Steven Gerrard slip that enabled Chelsea to score and win at Anfield - saw them fall agonisingly short.

Wolves v Tottenham (14:00 GMT)Wolves are unbeaten in the Premier League since mid-September - 11 games ago - and it is clear they have got a bit of extra quality going right through their side. Those runs cannot last forever though, and I am going to go for a Tottenham win. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho made loads of changes against Bayern Munich in midweek which will help ahead of this game. Mourinho's side were poor when they lost at Old Trafford last week.

Which records have slipped away or are looking unlikely?That Watford win ended hopes of Liverpool joining Arsenal's invincibles of 2003-04 - the only side to go a Premier League season unbeaten. Manchester City's record haul of 106 goals in a Premier League season from 2017-18 looks very safe - Liverpool would need to muster 32 goals from their last four games to beat it. City's hauls from the same season of 50 away points and 16 away wins are both also safe - Liverpool can 'only' reach 15 wins on the road and 47 points away from Anfield with two more wins.
