Lawro's prediction: 2-0Portsmouth v BarnsleyLeague One (7th)vChampionship (22nd)Who did they beat?3R: Fleetwood (L1) A3R: Crewe (L2) A2R: Altrincham (NL) H1R: Harrogate (NL) APortsmouth are unbeaten at home in League One this season and Barnsley have only won once away in the Championship - so you probably know where I am going with this. My team, Preston, beat the Tykes 3-0 on Wednesday night and they are in a bit of bother at the bottom of the table, and not playing particularly well.
I know it is a big over line but motivation is really high for the hosts as they are currently 2nd placed in this final round of the season in Bolivia just one point behind the league leaders from Wilstermann right now and 2 points above the 3rd placed club, and while the 1st place would grant them the title and a place in the Copa Libertadores group stage, 2nd place would also allow them to play in the Copa Libertadores so they really cannot make any mistake today.
Overall this season, the Shrimpers have lost 15 times in 18 matches. That’s awful return, which comes despite their change of manager to bring in Sol Campbell. The former Arsenal defender has lost all five league clashes in League One so far, while the odds suggest that they’re on for another defeat in this one after losing seven of nine trips.
Napoli face Liverpool in a key Champions League match on Wednesday amid reports that the players are to be fined between one quarter and one half of this month' wages by the club for refusing to stay in a training retreat earlier this month. Napoli, Serie A runners-up three times in the last four seasons, are also on a run of six matches without a win in all competitions and their challenge for the league title has petered out with barely one third of the season gone.
It was just what Watford required to build on the home win against Norwich City, ensuring momentum was maintained and increasing the peril for the likes of Bournemouth and Aston Villa with Norwich City now relegated. Manager Nigel Pearson has been involved in great escapes before, as an assistant at West Bromwich Albion and in charge at Leicester City - and this result goes a long way towards helping him preserve that record.

Howe tight-lipped on Bournemouth futureThere has been no instruction to lawyers at this stage. After the incident on 17 June, Hawk-Eye said in a statement: "The seven cameras located in the stands around the goal area were significantly occluded by the goalkeeper, defender, and goalpost. This level of occlusion has never been seen before in over 9,000 matches that the Hawk-Eye Goal Line Technology system has been in operation.
Spurs don't really look like opening anyone up, let alone a team as good as Burnley are at the back. I know they have got players missing up front but it is down to Mourinho to do something about it - the clue is in his job title, which is 'manager'. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: 1-0SUNDAY Chelsea v Everton (14:00 GMT)I am sure Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti will get a great reception at Stamford Bridge, on his return to the club where he won the Premier League and FA Cup Double in 2010.
Everton is a completely different task: rebuilding a team assembled on largely unwise spending that needs work from the ground up. It is different from what Ancelotti is used to. However, it is disrespectful to suggest a man of such calibre and experience would find such a task beyond him. And perhaps talk of a "fit" should be the other way around. Maybe it is down to Everton - who have been struggling before hiring Ancelotti - to mould themselves to fit him.
Barcelona kept alive their hopes of winning La Liga with a victory over Espanyol at the Nou Camp that also relegated the visitors. Both sides had a player sent off early in the second half after video assistant referee reviews. Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati was dismissed for a foul on Fernando Calero before Pol Lozano was red carded for a dangerous tackle. Luis Suarez then smashed home a loose ball to secure the three points.
We had [Arjen] Robben and [Damien] Duff and tools that could really hurt teams but we were also really organised. I think Jose's first thing is to be organised, is to be structured, so I think he'll work on that with Tottenham. On top of that he has some really talented players, he's come into a club that were probably tipped to be somewhere in the title race at the beginning of the season. So with the freshness of a Jose Mourinho of course they're going to be challengers for the top four.

This was the sixth time Manchester City have beaten Arsenal in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola (P7 W6 D1 L0), as many wins as City managed against them in the competition before Guardiola's arrival (P38 W6 D9 L23). Arsenal have gone six games without a win at Emirates Stadium across all competitions (D3 L3); their longest run without a home win since between December 1994 and February 1995 under George Graham at Highbury (eight games).
Brno and Dukla Praha are two teams from Czech Republic and which are expected to play a FNL match today. In their previous head to head meetings, it is evident that Dukla has been outshining Brno in all 4 meetings. The fact is that, they won 2 in meetings and drew in the other 2 meetings.
Lyon beat Toulouse 4-1 to book their slot here and Brest were 2-0 winners over Bordeaux. Lyon go to this game on the back of a massive win in the Coupe de France. They will be looking to extend the same to Brest, especially now that they have not had a good run in Ligue 1. Lyon have eight wins, five losses and three clean sheets in their last 15 matches.
With no extra time being played in the League Cup since the 2017 edition, the contest went straight to a penalty shootout in which Lyon converted all of their spot kicks. This is the last season of the League Cup, which was created in 1995 and been won a record eight times by Paris St Germain, after the French league voted to suspend the competition having failed to secure a broadcaster for 2020-2024.
St. Mirren aren't enjoying a good campaign, there can be no getting away from that fact. However, they're not the easiest of teams to get the better of, especially at The Simple Digital Arena, where they've only lost two out of eight in the SPL.
Monaco now has 29 points and is ranked 9th in the rankings. In the last 6 rounds, Monaco lost only 1 match. After 20 rounds, Monaco lost only 3 matches at home in Ligue 1. In contrast, Strasbourg has only 2 away victories since the beginning of the season. They are now in 12th place with 2 points less than Monaco. Strasbourg will march to Louis II Stadium with a significant absence of forces when up to 6 players are injured. Monaco have only 1 time to lose to Strasbourg at home. In the previous 22 meetings, Monaco had 12 wins and Strasbourg had only 5.
They are important in this side. They are not the icing on the cake; they are probably a quarter of the team at the moment. Manchester United aren’t buying anyone… no, wait, they are…. It would seem like a howling scream in the face of all logic that even Ed Woodward, even this crack sponsorship negotiator who looks like Ian Hislop’s younger brother who thinks he’s smarter than he is but who has somehow been in charge of buying players for one of the biggest clubs in the world, would take a look at this Manchester United squad and think “Nope, that looks all set, there really is absolutely nobody out there who can improve this lot.
Second-placed RB Leipzig will travel to bottom-placed Paderborn this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Leipzig will be hoping to earn a fourth straight Bundesliga victory in Saturday's contest.

Fortunately for the hosts, Darmstadt have struggled to get going on their travels. The visitors come into this fixture having won just one out of seven on the road. They've lost four of the other six, shipping 12 goals in the process.
Colchester United chairman Robbie Cowling says the Premier League may need to help support lower league football during the coronavirus crisis. Cowling believes the £50m English Football League support package, while “helpful”, is “nowhere near enough” to help clubs outside the top flight. To really survive and go forward there is going to be help needed from the Premier League or elsewhere,” he said.
Dinamo Brest vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk in the 1st leg of the Belarusian Cup, semi finals. Both teams have been very inconsistent this season, not managing to win 2 games in a row. Dinamo Brest won the league and the super cup last season, while Shakhtyor won the cup. These two teams know very well each other, since they played in the super cup where Dinamo Brest won 2:0, while in the 1/8 finals of the Belarusian Cup last season, Shakhtyor won after penalties.

As previously mentioned, we’re expecting a tight game. Sheffield United have played out three consecutive 1-1 draws away from home, and four of their seven total trips away in the league have ended this way. All things considered, we think another 1-1 correct score prediction is the way to go.
Academica Clinceni will host Chindia Targoviste for this fixture of the league. I expect this will be tough match for both sides. Both teams are one of the weak teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. In my opinion, the hosts are small favorites. Academica have advantage at home stadium. Also, Academica have better results in the last mutual matches. Nevertheless, I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. I expect, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. In previous game Chindia is won 2-1 against Viitorul Constanta.
The Manchester United striker is suffering from a stress fracture of the back, his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Sunday. He’ll be out for a while," Solskjaer said at the weekend. He won’t be back until after the mid-season break. Normally six weeks to heal, but I’m not a doctor, and then he needs rehab after that probably.
The former Chelsea manager, who made his name as a striker at Sampdoria, was first cleared of cancer some time in 2017, revealing his initial struggle with the illness a year later. LIVE Coronavirus in sport: Season conclusions debated, furloughing and deferrals continue He later revealed that he was still suffering in 2019, but is delighted to announce now that his tests have shown that he is cancer-free.
The Rossoneri have been poor in recent outings. Milan have picked up only one point in their last three games, they could go four league games without a win for the first time this season. They’ve lost out to the likes of Lazio and Juventus in that time, but Milan aren’t exclusively losing to the top teams. They’ve lost to Fiorentina, Torino and Udinese this term, sides who all trail Parma.

Scott Allan hooked a high ball into the penalty area and Boyle got between two dithering defenders to meet it with a lovely cushioned volley. Moments later, Melker Hallberg was fortunate to get away with a grapple round the neck of Uche Ikpeazu, with the big Hearts striker strangely muted in his claims for what looked like a nailed on penalty. There have been signs in previous games that Stendel has been trying to implement a high press at Hearts but there was little energy on show from the hosts in a limp first-half showing.
Playing in empty stadiums is going to become the new norm for footballers, so it's probably best they start to get used to it. That may have been the reasoning behind several Premier League teams holding training sessions at their grounds this week, with some even playing full friendlies to give their players a taste of what is to come. The Premier League is set to resume behind closed doors from 17 June after being suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yet again our safety and stewarding team, along with Sussex Police, have had to deal with three separate and unwanted instances of disgusting racist and homophobic abuse," Brighton's chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said. If the prospect of a life ban from watching their clubs play football isn't a strong enough deterrent, we have to ask the question as to whether the courts should be given the power to hand out more severe punishments? "Football can only do so much, and we are sick and tired of the game's reputation being tarnished by these people.
Nice were humiliated on Wednesday as they were beaten 4-1 by Saint-Étienne. It was another poor performance from les Aiglons as they dropped down to 14th. Nice have won just two of their last eleven games in all competitions and have been severely underperforming for a team that finished 7th last year. They've conceded eleven goals in their last six games and have relied on their home form to keep them relatively afloat in recent weeks.
