They lost that season’s German Cup final on penalties but within two years they experienced the purest catharsis. They won the European Cup in 2000-01, dismissing a fading United with ease along the way. Most of the players from 1999 were involved when they beat Valencia in the final – but not Matthaus, who is one of the greatest players never to win the European Cup.
For the correct score, Pompey have drawn as many as they have won this season and they have scored 1.75 goals per game on home soil. Similarly, Rotherham average 1.67 goals per game and have won each of their last four on the road, so they will be confident at getting a result. Our pick is for an entertaining evening with the points ultimately being shared in a 2-2 draw.
Would have wanted to take the over 3.5 goals bet in this one for odds around 4.00 and I say this because the two games between them last season here in the second league level in Colombia last season ended with both teams scoring 2+ goals in each of those games and also both sides won their home games won against the other with the latest game between them being here at Fortaleza who defeated on that occasion with 4-2 at home Cortulua.

Ajax Jong claimed all three points when these two sides locked horns for their reverse league fixture in September, running out 2-0 winners in Amsterdam, and the visitors head into Monday nights’ clash as the clear form favourites having gone unbeaten in their last seven league games.
ESTIMATED COST: £78M 32: Donny Van de Beek (Ajax) WHY HE COULD MOVE Van de Beek is a midfielder with impressive athleticism and stamina who can essentially do everything. Despite having had a mixed season with Ajax, the Dutchman is highly thought of around Europe and will surely get a big move very soon.
They have four clean sheets in 10 matches ahead of this clash and seven of their last 10 matches have produced over 2. Monterrey have scored two or more goals in seven of their last 10 matches and they are unbeaten in the last six away matches. They have managed just three clean sheets in their last 13 away matches.
I believe in a home win here as the hosts finished inside the top 3 places in the league in Algeria last season and finally got their chance to play in the Champions League where they made it past a couple of qualifying rounds and made it to the group stage where they defeated Vita Club 1-0 at home but lost a few days ago also with 1-0 away from home at Esperance Tunis the title holders of this competition.
It was a perfect first half," said Garcia. It was a different story after the break as Juventus stepped up a gear and enjoyed more possession. In the second half, we were more pressed and it was harder to keep the ball. And when we had it we were not dangerous," Garcia admitted. Aouar is expecting a tough trip to Italy.
Alioski doubled Leeds' advantage after a quick counter-attack from Fulham's corner ended with Harrison's ball just evading two desperate visiting defenders and finding its way to the Macedonia international's feet in the area. Hernandez, who has so often been at the heart of the Whites' best play over the past four seasons, was making his first appearance since the restart but showed no signs of being rusty.
Newcastle have struggled both in attack and defence this season, scoring just 12 and conceding 27 as teams regularly beat them with ease. They’ve conceded three or more goals in a third of their matches this season and have kept just two clean sheets. Their games have seen have average of 3.3 goals per game this season but their output has been just one per game on average.
Norwich have taken four points from their past eight league games. They play Brighton (h), Watford (a) and West Ham (h) in their next three fixturesBrighton were turned over by Manchester United on Tuesday, but this is an opportunity for them to take another big step towards survival and take a lot of pressure off their run-in. They will know all of that, which is why I think they will go to Carrow Road for a win.
It's very easy to compare the two of them, yes," Solskjaer said. Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything. The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player. Let's hope he continues like this. Rashford has previously been criticised for a perceived lack of composure in front of goal but he is flourishing under Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals in 366 appearances as a player for United.
Milan's Ibrahimovic set to play after flu AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to feature in the Serie A derby after flu, said head coach Stefano Pioli who has urged his players to follow the striker’s example. The 38-year-old Swede, who joined the club for a second spell on a free transfer during the January transfer window, missed Milan’s 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona last Sunday.
Two games in four days for Wayne Rooney may be a bit of a stretch and his experience will be vital if Derby are to get a result here. I don’t expect too many goals here and I’m going to to tip a home win and under 2.5 goals in the game.
That's three games in seven days which is a lot. We lost Sadio Mane and that's the pressure I think about. All the rest is no pressure. We said it before it would be a really tough game, Wolves are doing so unbelievably well, they are so different to everything else you face. Klopp praised his captain Henderson, who scored the opener and set up the winner. I am not sure when Hendo became involved in offensive set-pieces.

Lazio are unbeaten in all three of their home games against Romanian opposition (W1 D2), with both teams finding the net each time. They’ll be hoping to pull off a result and continue their strong recent form, but their recent outings in Europe are a worry. Lazio have lost seven of their last eight in this competition, so they need to sort themselves out in this clash.
No-one at Chelsea's academy has got into the first team since John Terry," he pleaded. I'm staying at Chelsea," the teenage Mount asserted, giving no consideration to his father's suggestion that he should, perhaps, take advantage of the interest several other top clubs were showing in him. I've been here since I was six; it's my club. I will play first-team football here. If he hadn't learned to kick a ball," Tony Mount tells BBC Sport.

The win marked an end to a three – game losing streak and they will be hoping to claim a big scalp here.
MONDAY’S TOP HEADLINES Manchester United: A story of privilege Manchester United tasted success on Sunday, beating Manchester City 2-0. However, the point they are at now is more luck than judgement. United have been toilet for many years now. They have been utterly abject - really - since Sir Alex Ferguson did one after winning a 20th league title back in 2013.
Akhmat could remain unbeaten here. There are two reasons for my pick. First reason is connect with the actual form. Somebody may argue because there was a winter break in Russia and just one round is played after, but I think the overall results are still very important for the players confidence. So, Akhmat have just one defeat on the last seven matches in the Premier League. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. On contrary, Lokomotiv Moscow have two defeats on the last three matches, with just one draw.

Hi! Aston Villa and Newcastle comes ahead of the 13th round of the English Premier League match. I believe that we can expect an interesting game where both opponents could win. So, it would be nice to catch them both scoring as well in this clash. In their last 5 league matches, Aston Villa won twice and lost on three occasions. In their last 5 league matches, they netted 9 goals and allowed 9, so I think that they will score this time as well too. Meanwhile, in their last 5 league matches, Newcastle recorded 3 victories, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 7 scored goals! Nice! Predict - both teams will score at any time and DRAW! Good game!
Guardiola, who was given his debut by Cruyff after he’d seen him playing for the reserves, continued that with two further Champions Leagues. This season, Luis Enrique could become the first coach ever to retain the Champions League, giving Barcelona a fifth title in 11 years. All with the football of Cruyff.
Perth Glory will host Sydney for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this league. Sydney have a better results in this new campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 12 points. They have 4 victories in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Perth Glory who's is not very good team in this season. True, they have only 1 lose. In any case, the hosts want to win. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. I think, Perth Glory have the motivation to stay in the race for higher range. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result.

More importantly, the club remains an aspirational example for their troubled city. As Lozano said in an interview with French football news site sofoot. Calais’ municipal council: “The six years spent at the club affected me, but also the mentality of the locals, their way of fighting, going beyond their limits, rejecting adversity. Calais is forging characters. Even 20 years on, the legacy of the club’s now legendary achievement lives on in the city, both in memories and mortar.

Real Sociedad will against Mallorca in match Spain Primera Liga. Real Sociedad have better result on last 5 match due to Real Sociedad have won in 3 match and 2 match is lose. Meanwhile, Mallorca have not good result on last 5 match due to Mallorca only have won in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I'm sure that Real Sociedad can defeat Mallorca on this match due to Real Sociedad have great forward like as Mikel Oyarzabal and Willian Jose. Moreover Mallorca have not good result in every away match in league. Surely Real Sociedad will be win on this match.
