Deportivo Saprissa are so far the best team in the Clausura with a 13-4-2 record and together with Alajuelense they are the only team without a home defeat so far. Deportivo Saprissa have won all of the last 5 matches at home.
Pau will be the home side for this match but they really haven't been at their best in front of their own fans over the last few weeks with just one win in their last five at the Stade du Hameau. They have scored eight times in this run but have also let in eight goals which has held them back and this could get even worse as Ligue 1 Bordeaux come to town.
We’re backing Cagliari to follow up on a run of six games in seven Coppa Italia outings where both teams have scored. However, our confidence in Inter has us backing them for a win. Cagliari have gone out in eight of their last 11 trips in this competition, so we’re backing Inter to win and both teams to score, while we’re tipping a 3-1 defeat for a Cagliari side who have conceded twice or more in eight of their last nine games.
The league leaders are unbeaten in their last 12 matches (one of which was a friendly played during the 'winter break') and scored 24 goals in their last five matches.

Charlton have a huge potential boost here, with Lyle Taylor in contention for selection this weekend. The hosts are much improved with the striker back in the side. They won four and drew two of the six games he played before injury, while he's still their top scorer despite sitting out since August. That would be a major boost for the Addicks, who have kept picking up results without him. We’re backing Charlton to claim a result on the Draw No Bet market.
The players were unbelievable. It is not about me. It is about the players and the result and we got it. Asked whether this could yet be an even-longer-term period in charge, he said: "I don't know if I could go through that again. I need to get my fitness up with all that running down the touchline. I think the fans want the manager to be passionate, show that body language, get them onside. We are a family club - the Everton family - and we all want the best.
I don’t think we should stop talking about the top four,” he said. For us it’s about concentrating on what we’re doing here and now and not look up, down, sideways.

They have another vital home match as they host Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last sixteen tie in the Champions League. Chelsea would probably have preferred the game at Stamford Bridge to be the second leg.

In an exclusive interview with Eurosport, Coman admits he has changed from the kid who arrived at Bayern all those years ago. I’ve progressed. Coman says.

He glided around the middle of the pitch with ease, popping little passes off before setting off, picking the ball up and starting the process all over again. In fact the way he read the game and threw himself into tackles was in the mould of two other diminutive Stamford Bridge favourites, Claude Makelele and N’Golo Kante.
We are talking about the past but what happened has happened," he said when asked about the fines. Now, we are concentrating on the present and on the pitch. The media silence helped us concentrated on the pitch but has also stopped giving air time to those who have talked all sorts of nonsense," said Ancelotti, who added that he had never considered resigning.

We wonder why, when we get to a tournament, England can't perform to the level," the 59-year-old said. For the international footballer of today, it's a huge problem, it's absolutely ridiculous. They don't get a break any more. They are machines and they break down. Someone like Harry Kane, an injury like he has had comes from playing too often, playing Saturday, Tuesday for evermore. As fit as he is, to pull a tendon like he has, it's fixture congestion.
With Wayne Rooney crowded out in midfield and unable to exert any influence, Derby barely threatened to get back on terms, let alone go on to earn a sixth successive victory. Relive Saturday's Championship actionForest could have added to their tally, with substitute Tiago Silva hitting the post from 20 yards and Lewis Grabban wastefully shooting wide. But Martin intervened, meaning the Rams move level on points with Cardiff in the sixth and final play-off place.
City will say they had no choice but to sign up to these rules, and we've seen this argument of a lack of freedom used by claimants in key sports cases in the past. Mehrzad predicts that, with money no object, City's lawyers will refer Cas to the precedent set by the Riza verdict, confront Uefa with the threat of dragging their case out in similar fashion, make clear their willingness to take their challenge to higher courts, and hope the governing body offers a settlement involving a reduced punishment, rather than risk the uncertainty of a drawn-out legal fight.

Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off.

A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.
Champions League and Europa League could be abandonedTimeline: Coronavirus' impact on sporting eventsNew dates for the transfer window - which had been moved back to 1 September in England - will be sanctioned by Fifa providing they fall between the two seasons, with the organisation pledging to try to harmonise the dates as much as possible so clubs and leagues are not unfairly disrupted.

The Blues missed out on qualifying for the Champions League in his final season but did win the FA Cup in 2018 before his departure.

But most of the time it was just one of them challenging us," Solskjaer said. Finishing third wasn't normal. Now there are at least four, maybe five teams that can win the league and the cups. For me, every time you see anyone else lift the trophy, it hurts. I reckon that's the feeling for everyone associated with Manchester United.

AC Milan face Juventus on Thursday at the San Siro in the second semi-final. Inter came from 2-0 down to beat rivals AC at the weekend and go top of the table but they could not find a late rally on this occasion. Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez and Christian Eriksen were all absent from the starting line-up and Dries Mertens and Piotr Zielinski both went close for Napoli in the first half.
