As long as Darmstadt do believe they have a chance to gain promotion this bet is for sure on as they are a decent side with only 5 losses all season long, would have been in even a better position if they would not have a 4-8-1 record at home this season while away from home they are 4-4-4, so just 5 losses for them all season long, while in comparison the hosts have just 5 wins all season long in the league, 2nd from bottom at this moment but not quite mission impossible to avoid relegation as there have been plenty of disappointing sides this season in the 2nd league level in Germany.
British media reported Solskjaer had told his players he risked losing his job if United were to lose to Tottenham on Wednesday and Manchester City on Saturday.

The formbook points to a home win in this match. The Kings are longing to end their play-off drought and their improved November has given them a chance of doing that. Home form is good and a win here will give them a chance of getting in the top eight. It's not such good news for the Bulls who are struggling at present. They have lost three in a row and away form isn't good either. Go for a home win here.
Last season Siauliai FA finished the season on 6th place and really not that far away from the 2nd place which could have got them promoted, while Jonava, team which played not so long ago even in the first league level in Lithuania had a modest season last term and lost both games played by them against this opponent losing with 2-1 at home and no less than 3-1 loss for them here at Siauliai.
It was the latest impressive performance in a standout season for the former Charlton number one, who missed a large chunk of the previous campaign through injury, but will be expected to add to his two England caps. We created super chances but there was always one guy who wanted to deny us and it was Nick Pope," said Klopp. Pope added: "It's nice to be involved, you come to big grounds like this and you expect to be busy.
Gremio made good start of the league and they should be one of the possible better team in the state competition. Squad has won previous game in the league, and would come here, to face big rival from Serie B, in order to get to the good result. They are able to play with the good defense, and are about to make a lot of pain the back in the team.
Sabanas youth team, did have some well period, and they left the bottom in that time, having some better results in the competition. However, as season is getting to the final part, this squad got used to lose with ten goals again. They are coming from 10:3 duel, and should at least to try closing this season with better play on their home ground.
Vardy is two ahead of his nearest rival - Southampton forward Danny Ings - in the race of the Premier League's Golden Boot. He also recently passed a century of top-flight goals - with 103 scored in 210 appearances. He's a very serious guy," Rodgers said. I think everyone thinks of him as this fun guy, dressed up as Spiderman and everything else. But you don't become a top-level striker by not being super professional.
Van Dijk: We've seen Virgil van Dijk marshal his defence with grace and tackle like a steam train when needed but I have never seen him score two headers like a striker before. The way he took his second goal from another beautifully delivered Alexander-Arnold ball was superb. John Toshack couldn't have put the ball into the net any better. Brighton were 2-0 down before they had time to draw breath.

It still required a huge error to hand Sheffield United the lead.

PSV Jong’s home games produce an average of 2.70 total goals while Ajax Jong’s away games produce an average of 4.10 total goals, adding further weight to our prediction for over 2.5 goals to be scored in Monday’s clash.
Adelaide United will host Melbourne Victory for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this league. However, the hosts are in better shape in recent times. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Adelaide is won 1-3 against weak Central Coast Mariners. Also, we have Melbourne Victory who's is a outsider in this game. Visitors have less potential. They have only 1 victory in this campaign. In any case, this will be tense match for both sides. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. They want to continue to the winning track.
Cresswell looked to have produced the only blot on an otherwise blemish-free day for West Ham when referee Graham Scott showed him a straight red for a needless tackle on Fraser, but it was Scott who was left red-faced when VAR overturned his decision. Bournemouth's woes continueFour changes were also the order of the day for Eddie Howe's Cherries as they looked to start 2020 in better fashion than 2019 had ended - but it did not go to plan.
While Bournemouth's heads went down, Newcastle started to play with freedom and expression. Saint-Maximin took on defenders at any opportunity, Shelvey's passing was full of vision and precision, while Almiron was a burst of energy when he came on. And Newcastle will have a spring in their step after picking up three consecutive away wins for the first time since November 2016 and extending their unbeaten run to five games.
Chelsea have played three away Champions League matches at Valencia without losing (W2, D1, L0) - they've only faced Schalke and Atletico Madrid as often away from home without defeat in the competition.

They look to get a fourth league win of the season when hosting ninth placed Rukh Brest. Zhodino won their first two league games of the season, beating Shakhtyor and Belshina without conceding a goal. That run ended when they lost 2-0 away at Dinamo Minsk. They got back into winning ways though with a 2-0 win over Energetik that took them to the top of the table.
He believes he could have been struggling to be fully fit had Euro 2020 - which has been postponed until the summer of 2021 - taken place next month. I wouldn't have had as many games as I would have liked or as much training as I would have liked to really get to my highest level," he said. Kane has not played since suffering a torn hamstring in a 1-0 defeat at Southampton on 1 January"I'm trying to take the positives.
But their hair was still bedraggled after dinner and they did not want to come out, so us lads all went out on our own. It was my birthday the same night, so I had a lot to celebrate, then we eventually got back to Manchester about 4pm the following day and we went out and had another celebration dinner there. That got rid of Thursday night too - it went on and on. It was some time on Friday before I got home, and I had not been to sleep since before the game.
The two teams met as recently as December when Udinese travelled to Turin, where they were on the receiving end of a Cristiano Ronaldo pummeling. The Portuguese forward scored twice and pounded the woodwork in a 3-1 victory. It was a very comfortable win for the Old Lady and they were frustrated to concede a goal that cost them a clean sheet in stoppage time.
The home team have been winning a lot of matches here and have been one of the harder teams to score against when they play at home. On top of this if you do score against them normally you cannot beat them as they have scored 3 goals or even more in a lot of matches at home. The away team have struggled here the past couple of times losing by big scores as they have been unable to stop the home team scoring over and over again when playing at this ground. Looks like another easy home win for the PSG
Both teams scored in four of RKC’s and five of Heerenveen’s last six matches and the visitors have drawn 40% of their league games this season, which only adds weight to our prediction for a 2-2 draw this weekend. Both teams scored in 60% of RKC’s and 67% of Heerenveen’s games so far this season and we’re expecting more of the same on Sunday.
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon. United will pay an initial fee of around 55m euros (£47m) for the 25-year-old, though add-ons could increase the overall cost to 80m euros (£67. Fernandes' move is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms. The two clubs have been negotiating throughout the transfer window with a breakthrough made on Tuesday amid reports of interest from Barcelona.
Tottenham travel to West Ham who have slipped down the table to 16th. This was a match between two struggling sides but it's now turned into the return to the Premier League of Jose Mourinho. The sometimes special one is back and this time in charge of Tottenham. He has a hectic start to his time with the club with this Premier League London derby followed by a Champions League game.
Subs: Ramsey 6. Bernardeschi 6. Higuain 5. Match highlights: 22' - Off the bar! Great headed flick at the front post by Ekambi but it comes back off the Juventus woodwork. So close! 30' - GOAL! Lyon in front! Aouar gets to the byline and keeps his cool, sliding a ball for Tousart to strike home. Crucially De Ligt was off the field after Dembele inadvertently caused a cut on his head.
Both teams have scored in 29% of Ajax’s home games and in 57% of Willem II’s away games but the hosts have scored in 71% of their games on the road which is why we have backed Willem II to score once in Amsterdam. We’re confident that over 3.5 goals will be scored in Friday nights’ match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of Ajax. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites though Willem II are also playing very well right not, but Ajax have a 100% record at home and score an average of four goals per home game and we can’t see Willem II surviving the kind of onslaught expected in Amsterdam.
