2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers – Europe, Group H. Date: Sunday, 13th November 2016 Kick-off at 19:45 UK Venue: King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels. Impressive Belgium will face off with Estonia on Sunday evening in group H of the World Cup qualifying campaign. Belgium being the leaders of the group H table will look to solidify their position in the top of the table. Belgium are level on same points with Greece as they are on a winning streak in the ongoing campaign. Belgium will be delighted with their performance, having won 3 games, with 9 points and 13 goals with 3 clean sheets. Their last game was a 6-0 mauling of Gibraltar away from home, Meanwhile, Estonia 4th in the table with just 3 points, they have lost 2 games and won once. Their only win was against Gibraltar, they did well to win them 4-0 in the game. Estonia’s chances of getting a positive draw in this one is slim, as they are playing the best team in the group. Prediction: Belgium 4 - 0 Estonia UEFA Champions League – Group D Date: Wednesday, 19th October, 2016 Kick-off: 20:45 CET Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich. Bayern Munich are desperate to get back to winning ways when they host Dutch Eredivisie outfit PSV Eindhoven on the matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League. A sharp Atletico Madrid got the better of the Bavarians on the matchday 2 by a 1-0 margin at the Vicente Calderon. It might not have come as a surprise as Bayern Munich had little success over Spanish Clubs away from home. They were then held to consecutive draws in the two Bundesliga games after the defeat at Madrid. Coming back to Munich for the matchday 3, the German Champions are desperate for a win to get their season back on track. They do have some major injury concerns with both Frank Ribery and Arturo Vidal are likely to sit out with injuries. PSV Eindhoven were held at Russia by an FC Rostov, who are making their first ever appearance in Champions League. With the 1-0 loss on the opening day at home to Atletico Madrid, PSV will be coming into this match sitting at the rock bottom of the table. Just like their Wednesday’s opponent, the Dutch side are also in desperate need of a win. Bayern Munich vs PSV Eindhoven: Prediction Bayern Munich is one of the sides in Champions League with an insatiable home record. They are on a 13 match winning run at the Allianz Arena and keeping 8 clean sheets. While PSV, who made a good start to the season have finally fallen from grace and seem to struggle in their domestic league as well. They were held to draws by lower ranked sides in the last two meetings. Also, they haven’t fared well against elite clubs of Europe in recent seasons. This is all pointing to another comfortable home win for the Bavarians. http://leaguelane.com/bayern-munich-vs-psv-preview-prediction-1016/ The host of this match will be the team SJK. Their opponent will be the team Lahti. SJK is currently in 3rd place in the table and have gained 52 points. Lahti is currently in 8th place in the table and have gained 38 points. I think the favorite in this match is the home team. SJK still fighting for the championship. Today they have to win this match, At home play very well and it can be a handicap for them. I think Lahti is a weaker team and it will be difficult for them to gain points. My bet - win team SJK. Also today HJK - Mariehamn http://www.sjk2007.fi/uutiset/SJK_vs._FC_Lahti_perjantaina_klo_18.30_8807.html TEAM NEWS
Southgate, already without several squad members who had ruled themselves out of the Malta match, lost Ryan Bertrand to injury early in the 2-0 win over Malta. Arsenal’s Kieran Gibbs has been called up to replace him. Eric Dier looks set to return to the starting line-up with Rooney dropped to the bench, and the Tottenham man will partner stand-in skipper Henderson, allowing Dele Alli to continue operating in the hole. One of Slovenia’s star men is also the subject of much debate, with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kevin Kampl being labelled a “deserter” by his own team-mates after pulling out of the squad citing exhaustion. There are still quality names in the host’s squad though, with Ilici and Valter Birsa both having extensive experience in Serie A. England will also do well to find a way past Jan Oblak, the formidable goalkeeper at the heart of Atletico Madrid’s defence. LINE UPS Slovenia (4-1-3-2): Oblak; Struna, Cesar, Samardzic, Jokic; Krhin; Kurtic, Birsa, Verbic; Ilicic, Bezjak England (4-2-3-1): Hart; Walker, Cahill, Stones, Rose; Dier, Henderson; Walcott, Alli, Lingard; Sturridge http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/slovenia-vs-england-prediction-team-news-line-ups-live-coverage-head-to-head-and-betting-odds-2018-a3365836.html |
