Hartson, who battled cancer as well as a gambling addiction, is willing to give people in the game the impetus to seek help. All I can do is take Brian, then it's up to him," Hartson said. It's like taking a horse to water. It took me to the depths. The cancer took me to my knees and ripped me to pieces mentally and physically. I can honestly say as much as that was my life, stopping gambling and becoming clean has not only saved my life it's given me a life.
The hosts now known as Reggio Audace played their last 3 games at home with Padova ending with just 1-1, but there are reasons to hope for over 2.5 goals being scored here as not only have 9 out of their last 10 home games this season ended with both teams scoring but 8 of those games including 5 games in a row in the league ended with over 2.5 goals sometimes even over 3.5 goals scored as they are undefeated in the league at home despite conceding 11 goals in 9 home games they also scored 20.
I see good chances that this game shall end up in a 2-0 win for the guests, and I say this because Smolevichi played in the first league two seasons ago and back than when they hosted Soligorsk which is season after season one of the top clubs in this country they lost that time with 2-0. Also last season in the 2nd league level when Smolevichi finished inside the top 2 places and gained direct promotion to the first league they met Soligorsk also at home in the cup and also lost that game quite easy with 2-0 in the end.
Port Vale have only kept clean sheets in 33% of their home games and both teams scored in 67% of games that Port Vale have hosted. 44% of Port Vale’s home games and Walsall’s have produced over 2.5 goals, which provides even more reason to back a 2-1 win for the hosts on Saturday. Six of Port Vale’s wins have been obtained with a 1-goal margin this season, while Walsall have conceded five 1-goal margin defeats in the league.
Rodrygo, 18, has been playing for both Zinedine Zidane's first team and reserve side Castilla in the third tier of Spanish soccer and was involved in farcical scenes in Sunday's 2-0 win at home to San Sebastian de los Reyes. The teenager scored the second goal late in the game with a mesmeric run followed by an audacious chip over visiting goalkeeper Xabi Irureta, who berated the forward after the ball had nestled in the net.
There are those among the players who are happy to continue, others who express their concerns. There are many foreign players too and it's obvious their families will be worried watching what's happening in Italy.

Therefore, if the earliest a deal would be made is 2021, Haaland becomes a serious alternative option for Real Madrid. If the £65 million release clause is compared to an eye-watering transfer fee for Mbappe, it could be a no-brainer. However, Haaland hasn't been performing at the highest level for the same amount of time as the French forward and he's only just joined Dortmund.
Bordeaux also have four clean sheets in their last six games at the Matmut Atlantique so we think they will give Lyon attack a run for its money. As a result of this, we're backing this match to finish 1-1 as it has been a common score in this fixture (two of the last three finishing 1-1) and both teams have reasons to be confident and weary.
Augsburg will host Fortuna Dusseldorf for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent and I think Augsburg have the potential to win. Augsburg is very average team in this league. However, the hosts are in solid shape. They have 4 victories in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Dusseldorf who's is one of the teams of the relegation zone. Of course, the guests have a very difficult task. Dusseldorf is in poor shape. Nevertheless, they want to move from the bottom of the table. They will in this match seek their chance.
We were in a bit of a tricky situation form-wise," says Joel Byrom, a midfielder who spend two years with Northampton from 2014. I think we dropped quite low in the league and a lot of people were calling for his head. Then all of a sudden he signed a couple of players in January who turned out to be really important for us over the next 18 months. Everyone mentions his recruitment. He knows the right people to have around the dressing room.
The manager said Sarabia's animated personality was often a strength but stressed that he needs to work on the image he portrays of himself during matches. It's true that you have to understand how people are at certain moments, we are not all the same. Eder has a great temperament, and in many situations it helps us phenomenally well.
The club's desperate financial straits have prompted chairman Ambrose Rachier to not only make the appeal but to turn to his bonga points as well. These are reserves a lot of people are not aware of," Rachier told BBC Sport Africa. For example, I discovered I had 80,000 points which I've converted into 25,000 Kenya shillings ($235) which I have contributed to the fund. The club's financial problems - which some fans lay at Rachier's door - began late last year when betting firm SportPesa withdrew their sponsorship of the club following a local ruling which raised taxes on gambling stakes.

City hotly contested the free-kick, given by referee Mike Dean for a foul by Ilkay Gundogan on Fernandes, that led to Martial's goal - although United also felt they were denied a penalty when Fred was booked for diving after tangling with Nicolas Otamendi. Sergio Aguero had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR and even though City enjoyed the greater share of possession, United sealed a crucial win with McTominay's strike to take their unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions.
FC Minsk made a good start to the new season with a 3-1 away win. They host Dinamo Minsk in this derby clash and their opponents have been disappointing in pre-season. Four games have been lost in a row and they will be determined to improve on that sorry statistic. Place a double chance bet on FC Minsk to win or draw this fixture.
For me, this is one of the matches, who will bring surely at least three goals and we will see what will happen. So, let's start from the home team and that is Hertha, who is after this break because of Corona Virus, start to play just amazing and I hope that they will continue that way and this time. So, this team is won in first match after brake even 3-0 as a guests, so probably they will continue on that level and this time. Union, at least I hope so, they will score at least one goal here.

It's so nice to have the fans here. I am always grateful for their support. Since I arrived here until the last day I want to fight to play as well as possible and see the Etihad full for every game. The 4-0 home victory over Fulham was the Blues sixth game at home since 20 December and the first of those in which they had failed to record an attendance above 50,000. It led Guardiola to say: "Motivation was right and hopefully in the next game against [Manchester] United, our fans can come and make the stadium full.
In terms of the game, though, Leicester have been flying this season and I can see Jamie Vardy making the difference. Brighton v Arsenal (15:00 BST)This is a quick turnaround for Arsenal after Wednesday's defeat by Manchester City but at least it is only a short flight for them this time. Being serious, I cannot believe the Gunners only flew up to Manchester a few hours before kick-off. That will not have helped their preparations at all.

Chippa United against Black Leopards here, meeting of the Premier Soccer League of South African soccer that is played tomorrow afternoon at 6:30 pm. Favorite hosts for the victory of the match come from an external success for 0-2 on the AmaZulu while the guests are coming back from a home victory for 2-1 on Cape Town City. The Chippa will have the field from his UI but the guests do not lose from two matches and in any case there is no technical gap between these two teams so I decide to try a draw here at 3.00. Good luck to all! ;-)

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper said he was reconsidering his candidacy because of the "exceptional social, economic and health situation that our country is suffering".

Weddings and Caribbean holidays, Jurgen Klopp certainly isn't alone in missing matches. Immediately after Liverpool's 2-2 FA Cup draw at Shrewsbury Town, the German said he would not be on the touchline for the replay at Anfield nine days later. Why?

This is a game I feel very strongly about. The home team is really good lately and should have every chance in the world to win big here. I imagine the numbers can run away here and that it will be a clear victory for the home team. The bot team is also drawn with some damage and that makes this game even better.
Schalke and Wales winger Rabbi Matondo says he is "proud" of how young players have used their profiles to take a stand against racism.
