And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.

“Lamia”, which will fight for survival in the league, will meet with a team that will play in the playoffs for the championship. “Aris” is a typical middle peasant in the Greek championship, but thanks to the new draw system, it can also dream of European competitions. But they are unlikely to get there, given the not too many quotas for them in Greece and the competition. For the remaining two rounds, “Aris” will be enough to score a couple of points to stay in the top six, so somewhere the remaining two matches will be cautious.

England's Euro 2020 finals draw is packed with advantages - but it also came with a potentially painful sting in the tail for manager Gareth Southgate's aspirations to win a first major tournament in 54 years. Southgate will want to take England one step further than the run to the World Cup semi-final in Russia in 2018 - and playing every group game at Wembley gives them the perfect platform. England will face Moscow conquerors and sometime bogey side Croatia in their first Group D game at Wembley on 14 June before facing the Czech Republic and the winner of a play-off path that includes Scotland, Israel, Norway and Serbia.

Burnley were unusually sloppy in defence and lacking their usual spirit of work-rate and it was no shock when Grealish doubled Villa's lead four minutes before the break, finishing off a lovely passing move with a confident curling finish. Sean Dyche made a double substitution at the break with Jay Rodriguez and Johann Berg Gudmundsson introduced and that had the desired effect with the Clarets much more positive.
They have started this season in a solid fashion, with 30 points from 14 games played. They have a fluid attack, as they already scored 26 goals. On the other side of the field, problems occur. Their defense allowed 10 goals, which is more than they should if they want to be at their top level. Hajduk’s main goal this season will be getting that second spot, which would lead them to the Champions League qualifiers. Jairo is playing great football this season with 7 goals. Hajduk is having some trouble away from home this season, as they have only 6 points from 7 games played there.

Everton have improved but still struggle against the very best teams in the Premier League. It's ten years since Everton last won a league game against Liverpool.

This fixture features No. 14 vs No. 3 in the league, Sassuolo vs Lazio. The hosts coming from a 3 - 1 home win to Bologna (no. 15 in the league) and that is also their last home game. The visitors coming from a 4 - 2 home win to Lecce (No. 16 in the league) and their last away game a 1 - 2 win over AC Milan. The visitors should win this one as they played a higher table team than the hosts in their last away game scoring multiple goals and conceding but played a team lower than the hosts in their last game scoring and conceding multiple goals facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves, scoring and conceding multiple goals to win the match so an over 3 goals is best to tip here.

Pordenone has got 46 points after 30 matches and is temporarily ranked 6th on the standings. This achievement helps them to be safe enough in the top 8 so far, Pordenone still has the opportunity to compete for a ticket to play directly in Serie A when only 2 points behind Crotone is 5 points while there are still 7 more matches to finish. But their recent form is really not good, since coming back after a long 3-month break, Pordenone has not been able to get their first win and most recently they also lost 0-3 to the opposing team. Last is Trapani. If not quickly regained its form, Pordenone is easily knocked out of the top 8.
All things considered, we cannot see why the hosts have been priced as such big underdogs in this fixture and feel that backing them on the Draw No Bet line provides excellent value. They are in excellent form and with Alanyaspor's goals having dried up, a 1-0 margin of home victory could well be on the cards.

Our main area of concern is the lack of cover in central defence with Wes Morgan only just returning from injury and, at 36, his age counting against him. Manager Brendan Rodgers also feels that Filip Benkovic is not yet ready for the step up and it appears that Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard is now top of the manager's wish list. Luke Shaw, a peripheral player at Manchester United, has been linked with us.

Melbourne City should be the easy victors here and close the gap to Sydney to eight points with plenty of the season to come. We’re backing them to win this game 3-1, a scoreline that shows the dominance they should enjoy but also highlights the frailties in their defence, which has conceded 22 goals in just 13 games this season.
