Paris Saint-Germain vs. St Etienne - Football Match Preview

Unknown 0 06:32

Paris St Germain boss Unai Emery insists Blaise Matuidi is happy at the Parc des Princes.<br />The France international midfielder was the subject of reported interest from Juventus and Manchester United during the transfer window but PSG did not want to sell.<br />Emery told a press conference ahead of Friday's Ligue 1 clash with St Etienne: "He is happy at Paris St Germain. He is red and blue. On Wednesday, he had a good training session. He is ready physically and mentally. "One player definitely missing will be right-back Serge Aurier, who is also likely to sit out next week's Champions League opener against Arsenal, but Emery sees the 23-year-old as a potential replacement for Luiz.<br />The PSG boss said: "I wanted David Luiz to remain at Paris St Germain. It was important. He asked me to leave the day after the game against Monaco. We told him that if he wanted to leave, he could.<br />"Serge Aurier can evolve into a (central) defender with a little work. He can help the team when needed. "<br />The Ligue 1 champions suffered their first defeat of the season before the international break, losing 3-1 to Monaco.<br />
A victory on Friday would see St Etienne climb above PSG - who lost 3-1 to Monaco last time out - but coach Christophe Galtier admits his side will have their work cut out to inflict back-to-back losses on the champions.<br />He said on his club's website: "PSG are always a great team. A new coach has arrived, he sets up a new philosophy of play.<br />"It is often said that great teams never lose twice. We go there without pressure but with great determination.<br />

Reading vs Ipswich Town: Preview

Unknown 0 06:28

<br /><br />Reading and Ipswich are in a similar kind of form when they lock horns at the Madejski Stadium on Friday evening. Both teams also earn a win in their fifth round match before heading into the international, only the second victory of the season.<br /><br />Reading started their season with a 1-0 home win against Preston, but suffered back-to-back defeats against Wolves and Newcastle in their next two games. They ended their losing streak with a 2-2 home draw against Brighton before earning the 1-0 away win against Cardiff in their fifth match.<br /><br />Ipswich Town also started their season campaign with a 4-2 win against Barnsley. They have to wait till the match day five for their second league win of the season, which came at home against Preston by a 1-0 margin. However, they lost once so far this season, 2-0 at Brentford. While they drew the remaining two games against Wolves and Norwich.<br />Reading vs Ipswich: Head-to-Head Stats<br /><br />Reading won the corresponding fixture of last season by a 5-1 margin, but they lost in the reverse fixture at Ipswich 2-1.<br /><br />Reading are on a five match winning run at home against Ipswich. Their only lost just once to Ipswich in the last 10 home meetings.<br />Reading vs Ipswich: Prediction<br /><br />Ipswich Town have registered just one win in their last 8 away matches in the Championship. But they also managed to get 5 draws during the period. Also they failed to score in the two away games they played so far this season.<br /><br />While Reading have a very strong home record against Ipswich and have won in all of the last five games. So Reading must edge a win, which is also backed by the overall away form of Ipswich from their past 10 meetings.<br />

Bundesliga Matchday 2 | FC Schalke 04 - FC Bayern München

Fancy showing your mates who's boss? Sign up for the Official Fantasy Bundesliga here!<br />
<br />
The Ukrainian winger joined Schalke on a season-long loan from Sevilla FC after his new side’s opening match single-goal defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt. The 26-year-old should add some cutting edge as Markus Weinzierl’s outfit look to bounce back in their first outing on home soil of the 2016/17 Bundesliga campaign.<br />
<br />
Coach Carlo Ancelotti enjoyed the perfect start to his Bayern career when his new charges swept SV Werder Bremen aside 6-0 on the opening night of the season. The reigning champions were untroubled at home, and will be looking to extend their impressive record at the VELTINS Arena, where they have not lost in five visits since December 2010. The match could see Portuguese starlet Renato Sanches get his first taste of Bundesliga action.<br />
<br />
<br />
    Bayern have topped the Bundesliga standings on 122 of the last 137 matchdays.<br />
    Bayern's 6-0 in over Bremen was the joint-highest opening day victory in Bundesliga history.<br />
    Schalke's Markus Weinzierl has lost all five of his previous Matchday 1 encounters as a head coach without his team scoring.<br />
    Bayern are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive games against Schalke (nine wins, two draws); their last Bundesliga defeat to Schalke came in December 2010.<br />
    If selected, Schalke's Naldo will become the third Brazilian to reach the 300-mark for Bundesliga appearances.<br />
    Ancelotti masterminded a 6-1 win over Schalke whilst in charge of Real Madrid CF.<br />

Sweden vs Netherlands: Match Preview,

Unknown 0 11:31

Legendary striker and all time top goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic had always planned on an international retirement after Euro 2016, but Sweden’s display in the tournament won’t have resulted in any doubts at whether he should continue. They crashed out in the group stages after picking up just one point from matches against Republic of Ireland, Spain and Belgium.<br /><br />Sweden now have to find goals from somewhere. Ibrahimovic scored 62 times in his 116 international appearances, and the top scorer in the current squad is Marcus Berg with ten in 41 appearances. That’s a big gap to make up, and with France, Netherlands, Belarus, Bulgaria and Luxembourg in their World Cup qualification group, it’s a gap that they need to bridge quickly if they are to stand any chance of making it to Russia in two years time.<br /><br />Netherlands are an incredibly frustrating team. They have all the qualities to be challenging at the top level in world football, but inconsistencies plague them. They missed out on Euro 2016 after a dreadful qualifying campaign saw them lose to minnows Iceland twice and finish in 4th place with just 13 points from their ten games.<br /><br />They followed this failure up with friendly victories against Wales, England, Poland and Austria. They were doing the same during qualification as well, as they beat Spain in a friendly.<br />

UEFA 2018 World Cup Qualifying: Switzerland vs Portugal, Preview

Unknown 0 11:29

Newly-acquired Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka missed his spot kick to hand the match to the Polish side and prevent La Nati from advancing to the quarterfinals.<br /><br />Head coach Vladimir Petković's team is currently ranked 18th in the world by FIFA, but they will be facing a much tougher opponent in their opening game this week against Portugal.<br /><br />Portugal is the reigning Euro 2016 champions after beating superteam France, 1-0, in extra time of the final mostly without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who suffered a knee injury midway through the first half of the said championship match.<br /><br />The Real Madrid icon will still be unavailable against the Swiss as he is still recuperating from the said setback, but head coach Fernando Santos' squad remains to be one of the toughest teams in the qualifiers with team captain Nani of Valencia, striker Eder of Lille, and winger Ricardo Quaresma of Besiktas.<br /><br />A Seleção crushed Gibraltar, 5-0, at the Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in Porto last Thursday as their warmup game before opening the UEFA World Cup qualifiers this week, Daily Mail Online reported.<br /><br />Prediction and Predicted Lineup<br /><br />The predicted result is a 2-1 win by Portugal.<br /><br />Switzerland starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schar, Djourou, Rodriguez; Behrami, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Dzemaili, Mehmedi; Seferovic<br /><br />Portugal starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Patricio; Cancelo, Pepe, Alves, Guerreiro; Moutinho, Carvalho, Mario; Quaresma, Eder, Nani<br />

Belarus vs. France - Football Match Preview

Unknown 0 11:27

<br />Didier Deschamps' men fell just short of a first major success in 16 years when they lost to Portugal in the final of Euro 2016, but enjoyed a promising run out against Italy last week.<br /><br />The 3-1 victory, with goals from Anthony Martial, Giroud and Layvin Kurzawa, claimed an impressive win for Les Blues and put the disappointment of Paris behind them.<br /><br />Looking ahead, Arsenal striker Giroud has urged his team-mates to remain focused despite admitting they are favourites to qualify from Group A ahead of Holland and Sweden.<br /><br />"The Netherlands are rebuilding and Sweden lost Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) and begin a new era," he told Le Parisien.<br /><br />"Bulgaria, Belarus and Luxembourg are weaker than us, (but) we must not fall into complacency and rest on our laurels."<br /><br />On the trip to Minsk, he added: "I don't know this team (Belarus), we haven't had time to study them.<br /><br />"We expect a difficult match but it's up to us to make it easy.<br /><br />"They're well into their league season so physically they'll be in top shape, which won't be our case, me especially."<br />

UAE vs Australia: Match Preview

Unknown 0 06:35

<br />
<br />
UAE earned a priceless 2-1 away win over Japan in their opening match in the third round of World Cup Qualifier. They were 1-0 down by a Keisuke Honda goal just after 11 minutes, but the in-form Ahmed Khalil struck on either halves to complete a brilliant comeback. This could be a decisive three points for them as Australia and Japan are favorites to top the group.<br />
<br />
Australia had no trouble in their opening group match against Iraq. After a quite first half, Massimo Luongo and Tomi Juric scored in quick succession to guarantee three points for the Socceroos. This was also the sixth time in eight home matches that they kept a clean sheet.<br />
UAE vs Australia: Head-to-Head<br />
<br />
The most recent meeting between these two sides was in the semifinal of the 2015 Asia Cup at Newcastle which Australia won by 2-0. This is the only meeting between the two played at Australia. They had met on two other occasions, both in friendlies played in UAE which end in 0-0 draws.<br />
UAE vs Australia: Prediction<br />
<br />
<br />
While UAE’s win against Japan has made bookies to heavily raise the odds for an Australian victory. But I hardly doubt that they will hold off the Aussies like they did against Japan. The odds for Australia to win is priced at 2.40 and is the bet is definitely the one to go with.<br />

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo

Unknown 0 11:20

Real Madrid play their home opener tomorrow against Celta Vigo.<br /><br />After earning promotion in 2011, Celta Vigo have done nothing but ascend in La Liga. In 2012 they avoided relegation by a single point, but fast-forward to last year and they finished 6th, earning a Europa League spot. Celta will be hard-pressed to continue this rise in La Liga with the chore of European play calling, as well as the departures of Nolito and Augusto Fernández. Fernández went off to Atlético in the winter, and in July, Celta reluctantly sold Nolito to Manchester City for €18 million. Nolito was their undisputed star, and now Iago Aspas will be the guy through whom their offense runs. Aspas plays at the top of Celta's 4-2-3-1.<br /><br />Celta were the only team in the top six with a negative goal difference (-8), and yet they thrived thanks to their ability<br />

Match Report - Newcastle vs Brighton

Unknown 0 09:02

Newcastle face Brighton in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday. Watch live on SS1 from 5.15pm<br /><br />Strikers Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dwight Gayle will both miss Newcastle's Sky Bet Championship clash at home to Brighton on Saturday - live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 5.15pm - after suffering concussion.<br /><br />The two men were hurt during the first half of Tuesday night's 2-0 EFL Cup second-round victory over Cheltenham with Mitrovic leaving the pitch before the break and replacement Gayle following him after it.<br />
<br />Newcastle vs Brighton<br /><br /><br />Manager Rafael Benitez would have loved to have both available for a key game, with Mitrovic having only just returned from a four-game ban, but the club will follow Football Association protocol and not allow them to return until six days after their respective head injuries.<br />Newcastle's Aleksandar Mitrovic is ruled out by concussion<br /><br /><br />The club's head of sports medicine and science Paul Catterson said: "The treatment and management of concussion in sport has received deserved attention in recent years.<br /><br />"We have to adhere to the guidelines set out by the FA in line with other competitive sports, which rightly puts the safety and health of players first."<br /><br />Benitez will have to shuffle his pack once again, although he will at least be able to call upon Ayoze Perez, whose double against Cheltenham opened his account for the season.<br />

Match preview: Hull City v Manchester United<br />
<br />
How can I follow the game? The match at the KCOM Stadium kicks off at 17:30 BST on Saturday and will be broadcast live in the UK on BT Sport. MUTV's live matchday programme begins at 16:30 BST and subscribers can watch the game in full at 18:00 BST on Sunday. You can also keep up with all the action as it happens via ManUtd.com's live match blog and by following our official Twitter account @ManUtd.<br />
<br />
Set the scene for me… With the season now getting into full swing, Manchester United face a Hull City side who, like the Reds, have a perfect record from their opening two Premier League outings. In United's win against Southampton last time out, Zlatan Ibrahimovic increased his scoring run to three matches and if the Swede can get on the scoresheet at Hull, he will equal a club record which has stood for 91 years.<br />
<br />
They'll have a familiar face in the dugout... Indeed. Mike Phelan is Hull's caretaker boss and will take charge of his fourth game this weekend, having replaced fellow ex-Red Steve Bruce last month. Phelan, five years a United player, has been in coaching since he retired from playing in 1995, and held various roles at Old Trafford as part of Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom staff; most recently, he was the Scot's number two during a trophy-laden period for the Reds between 2008 and 2013. <br />
<br />
Didn't Hull beat Leicester? Yes, they impressively overcame the champions 2-1 on the opening day, before winning 2-0 at Swansea City last weekend. Phelan made changes for Tuesday's League Cup tie away at Exeter City, which the Tigers won 3-1.<br />

Watford v Arsenal: match preview

Unknown 0 05:51

<br />
Arsenal and Watford enter the Premier League’s third week both needing to claim a first win of the season.<br />
<br />
Two league games into his reign at Watford the pressure is not as intense on Walter Mazzarri as it has become on Arsene Wenger, who faced displays of fan discontent both in a home defeat to Liverpool and a draw away to champions Leicester.<br />
<br />
Wenger will be confident that a side slowly returning to match sharpness can get a win at Vicarage Road, where they won 3-0 last season, but will well remember the frustration of being dumped out of the FA Cup by the Hornets in March’s sixth round tie.<br />
<br />
Whilst Watford knew that they faced a cruel start to the league season (Mazzarri’s reign has begun with a draw at Southampton and defeat at home to Chelsea) they can ill-afford to settle into a spiral of defeats, particularly in light of their shock EFL Cup exit to League One side Gillingham.<br />
<br />
A win over their training ground neighbours would provide a major boost for Mazzarri in his early days, but just how hard would more dropped points hit Arsenal and the under-fire Wenger?<br />

Chelsea v Burnley: match preview

Unknown 0 03:49

<br />
Burnley’s eye-catching win over Liverpool last weekend served as a warning to Chelsea that a fixture which once might have been considered a likely walkover actually has the potential to be awkward. “They are a very solid team in defensive situations, and always ready to go on the counter-attack with two forwards,” said Antonio Conte, who was impressed by Sean Dyche when the pair met at a coaches’ meeting in pre-season. “This is dangerous.” All three of his side’s successes to date have been narrow and nerve-jangling. This, too, should prove tight. Dominic Fifield<br />

MATCH PREVIEW: CARDIFF CITY vs READING

MATCH PREVIEW: CARDIFF CITY vs READING<br /><br /><br />17:30 25th August 2016<br /><br />Cardiff City welcome Reading to South Wales for their fifth Sky Bet Championship fixture of the season.<br /><br />The Bluebirds will be looking to build on the four points they collected last week through beating Blackburn Rovers and drawing away to Fulham.<br /><br />Reading arrive in the Welsh capital still looking to recover their form from the opening day of the campaign. The Royals beat Preston North End 1-0 at the Madejski Stadium to get their season off to an ideal start under new manager, Jaap Stam.<br /><br />However, they are now without a win in their previous three Championship fixtures losing to Wolves and Newcastle United away from home before drawing 2-2 with Brighton & Hove Albion at home last Saturday.<br /><br />One of Reading’s top performers of the season so far has been 21-year-old John Swift. The midfielder was signed from Chelsea in the summer and has notched two goals in his first four appearances to make an immediate impression. City will also have to be mindful of winger Garath McCleary, who has been with the Royals since 2012 and opened his account for the season from the penalty spot in the defeat to Newcastle.

Augsburg vs Wolfsburg: Match Preview

Unknown 0 German Bundesliga 03:38

Augsburg were brilliant in 2014–15 season as they surprised everyone by finishing fifth in the league and booked their first ever ticket to the Europa League. They even reached to the round of 16 of the Europa League before bowing out to Liverpool. However they struggled to cope with the busy schedule of fixtures in the domestic league and finished 12th in the 2015/16 standing. With no burden of European football this term, Dirk Schuster and his men will be looking to emulate the feat of 2014/15 season.<br /><br />Wolfsburg by their standards were fairly disappointing and finished 8th in the last season’s Bundesliga table. They did lack consistency and much of their woes were due to their poor record in away games. They managed just three wins from their 17 away games in the league last season by losing 10. They had a strong run in the UEFA Champions League as they reached the quarter final stage where they grabbed a shock 2-0 home win over Real Madrid.<br />Augsburg vs Wolfsburg: Head-to-Head<br /><br />Augsburg enjoyed considerable success over Wolfsburg both home and away as they won and drawn 4 each from the 10 games over the last five seasons. While Wolfsburg are left with two wins during the period.<br /><br />
