Bruce was then short odds to become the first Premier League manager to lose his job, but he remains and enhanced his reputation on Tyneside while Emery has gone. So did we underestimate Bruce? And how far could he take the club?How does he compare to Benitez so far? Steve Bruce has promoted homegrown midfielder Matty Longstaff (left) into the team, playing him alongside older brother Sean (right)For some Newcastle supporters, Bruce succeeding Benitez seemed like just another insult during a disappointing summer in which their hopes of hanging on to the Spaniard and talks of a takeover from the Middle East vanished in a matter of weeks.
MAN OF THE MATCH – Daniel James (Manchester United) While Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford all had fine games, it was the incisiveness of Daniel James that really stood out.

Chrudim will host Hradec Kralove for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have the potential to fighting for all three points. Hradec Kralove is one of the ambitious teams in this season. They are currently on the 3rd place with 35 points. The visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Chrudim who's is very average team in this season. Chrudim are currently on the 10th place with 24 points. Hosts have highly variable results. Also, they have less potential in attack. My pick - Hradec Kralove to win.

Either way, he manages to find space when there should not be any there. Then there is his finishing. If the ball drops to him in front of goal, then I would back him to score every single time. That is partly down to him being so calm when he gets a chance, but also because of the way he strikes the ball so cleanly - put all that together, and you have a deadly finisher, and it all comes so naturally to him.

Espanyol are long-odds on to bite the dust this term, and Abelardo must arrest their dismal home form if they are to have any chance of staying up.

Neman have won their last 3 games. They have once again joined the fight for a place that leads to Europe. I think they are much better this year than last season and that will only be seen in the middle of the league. Today, they will play against the Smolevich team, which, as far as I know, has just entered the league.
This is one more match from reserve league in Belorussia and one more match where I will just try with goals, what is pretty ok and real for me. So, let's start from Smolevichi and this team is pretty good and efficient this season. In last few matches, almost all their duels are finished with three or four goals, or even more than that. On the other side is Shakhtor Res. and they are have very good defense. In last four matches, they are played 1-1, 0-0, 1-1 and 1-1. Still, in last duel this two rivals, Shakhtar is won 3-1.
Blackburn may view their draw with Wigan on Monday as two points gifted away on the eve of Christmas, but spirits should still be high after their seven-game unbeaten run.

gorodeya vs Minsk FC. From previous matches both teams played with a lot of value both from the home team or the opposing team. I predict tomorrow's match will also be like this with many scores from the first round and second round. Score prediction for this game is over 3. Predicted score of both teams 3-0 or 0-3 with the market price of bets given high enough I tried to bet with a market price of over 2.5 goals at 2.5 odds. I hope this prediction can be useful for all of us. And can win the match tomorrow.
Javi Eraso missed a gilt-edged chance to restore Leganes' lead midway through the half, and Barca took full advantage in the 80th-minute when substitute Vidal was left unmarked to poke home Ousmane Dembele's corner delivery.

The problems encountered by Felix before his injury are a neat microcosm of the wider issues facing Atletico: how to incorporate creative football within the unimaginative framework of manager Simeone's famous defensive rigidity?The right balance has not been struck this season, with the team's lack of attacking intent reflected in their paltry total of 25 goals from 24 league games. They have drawn nine of those encounters 0-0 or 1-1.
Odds are actually bigger for the both teams scoring than the over 2.5 goals scoring and it really should not be like this as Espanyol played really well just some days ago in their first game after the restart and won all 3 points at home against a decent Alaves side with 2-0 in the end, and should come looking for a point although I am sure they want to win this game in order to improve their chances of avoiding relegation and they really have a too good squad of players to get relegated if you asked me.
Jablonec will against Zlin in match Czech Liga. My prediction this match could be the teams have both score due to Jablonec on last 3 match in club friendlies they can make score in 2 match. Meanwhile, Zlin on last 3 match in club friendlies they always make score on last 3 match. Therefore, I think that both teams will make score on this match. Moreover Jablonec on last 3 match in league that Jablonec always make to score. Likewise with Zlin on last 3 match in league that Zlin always make to score. Therefore, I'm sure that both teams will make score on this match.

While most leagues in Europe hope to finish their domestic seasons once restrictions on movement and social contact are lifted, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said last week the season could be lost if play does not start by the end of June.

Will Manchester City's Champions League ban be the catalyst for Pep Guardiola to end his tenure at the Etihad Stadium? On the (far from guaranteed) proviso that City do not overturn this ban on appeal, the repercussions of the two-year exile are potentially enormous. Will they be able to attract the top players needed to compete with Jurgen Klopp's juggernaut of a Liverpool side? Will players seek to leave to win the biggest trophy in European competition? By far the biggest uncertainty surrounds their manager though.
There's a long, long way to go, but we'll keep striving to keep improving and getting success for this club.
