Leicester City vs Tottenham Premier League 28/11/2017

Leicester City vs Tottenham
Competition: English Premier League

 

 

Date: 28 November 2017
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester

 

Leicester City can boast with the fact that out of the last 3 away games with Tottenham, they won one and drew two, and now many in Leicester City think that the time has come to defeat them at home. However, if coach, Puel players,' want positive outcome of this game they have to play much better than in the previous rounds in which they won away Stoke and West Ham, and lost at home to leading Manchester City.
Right that duel with the Citizens should be the best example what they expect from the Spurs, especially as Tottenham need points to return in the very top of the English Premiership. Last weekend the Foxes met the Hammers away and they showed good defence but were not good in attack, for example scorer of the only goal was midfielder Albrighton. Players who will miss this match are: injured stopper Huth and midfielder James, and suspended midfielder Silva.
The guests from London, Tottenham, merely drew at home with West Bromwich 1-1 last weekend, which together with defeat in the previous round by the city rival, Arsenal, pulled them down for the first time in this season to the 5th place in the English Premier League table. Tottenham still have just 02 points fewer than leading Chelsea and are by that still in the race for the very top but only under the condition to start winning, which was the case at the beginning of this season.
It seems that all those great results made in the UEFA Champions League in which Tottenham reached the round of 16 after just five rounds as the first team in the group and ahead of Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have exerted its toll on their ability to compete in the English Premier League and now against Leicester City, they definitely must play much better if they want to win all the three points. Currently out of action are only injured, stopper Alderweireld and midfielder Wanyama.

Athletic Bilbao vs Hertha BSC UEFA Europa League 23-11-2017

Athletic Bilbao vs Hertha BSC
Competition: UEFA Europa League
Date: November,23rd, 2017
Kick-off Time: 18:00 GMT
Venue: San Mames Barria, Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao has many problems on, and today in the UEFA Europa league virtually everything depends on this match and they have to look for a win over Hertha, while a draw might also be good, depending on the outcome of the second match. In the last round, Athletic defeated Ostersund in their field with 1-0, so the team is hoping to win again, but that is why there is less hope that they will win placement on European scene through championship.
Athletic Bilbao have not won for four rounds yet, but after three defeats, at least they did in the last round. Their rival was, Villarreal, and the fact that they were playing in Bilbao was not a big advantage for Athletic. The guests have been running for a long time, and Arrizabalaga has also defended the penalty, and then, as usual, the rescuer was, Aduriz. Players, Benat and Munia will be absent due to injuries, and Nunez is suspended.
Hertha BSC also has problems and is in an even worse situation, because they are even closer to the relegation zone in the championship, especially after the defeat in the previous round, but they also earlier had major problems. Hertha was already eliminated from the Cup, and similar thing awaits them in the UEFA Europa League. So to prevent this from happening, they need to defeat Athletic Bilbao in this duel. One big question is whether Hertha can do it in a period when their form is desperately bad, especially away.
San Mames Stadium is definitely not a stadium where it is easy to make a situation when they are already shaken by the home defeat of Borussia M'gladbach. Hertha have experienced the crush already in the first 20 minutes when they received even three goals and then in the end it was all just an attempt to avoid defeat to which they did succeeded to some extent. After the draw in Wolfsburg, players, Pekarik and Lazaro ended up on the bench, while Stark was not in the team because of injury injury. He will not be present, the suspended Ibisevic, and of the previously injured Stocker and Darida.

Probable lineups for this match of the UEFA Europa League:
Athletic Bilbao: Herrerin – Boveda, Etxeita, Laporte, Balenziaga – San Jose, Vesga – Williams, Raul Garcia, Cordoba – Aduriz
Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Jarstein – Pekarik, S.Langkamp, Rekik, Plattenhardt – Lustenberger, Meier – Weiser, Skjelbred, Kalou – Selke

Iceland vs Czech Republic International Friendly 08-11-2017

Iceland vs Czech Republic
Competition: Friendly
Date: 8 November 2017
Kick-off Time: 14:45 GMT
Venue: Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium

Iceland played well in qualifications and it won the first place in very demanding group shared with Croatia,  Turkey and Ukraine. At some point, Icelnad seemed that they cannot reach even the 2nd place as they allowed themselves a luxury to lose to Finland but, in the meantime, they defeated Ukraine and Turkey, which was the key moment, away by sound 3-0. At the end, the Icelanders defeated Kosovo and ended up at first place with three victories and clean sheet. This is the first historic qualification for the FIFA World Cup and it follows first participation at UEFA European championship last year.
Facing Czech Republic is a good starting preparation for the World Cup and it will also face Qatar. Coach, Hallgrimsson, has problems to gather the team and he invited several players later on as a plan B. Players, Sigurdarson and Saevarsson, haven’t recovered yet.
Czech Republic won the last two qualification matches, but didn’t bring any good to the Czechs since they ruined their chance to qualify for the FIFA World Cup much earlier. They might have done something close to the end if they defeated Norway and Northern Ireland away and Germany at home, but they won just one point from those three games. Czech Republic hoped after qualifying for the final tournament of European Championship, where they didn’t make a name for themselves, to repeat the success and qualify for another major competition.
Their qualifying group wasn’t too difficult and the second place seemed to be theirs but, unfortunately, they didn’t play well. Several older players left the national team after the European Championship in France, which was felt in the team’s performance. The Czechs want to keep a good record after victories over Azerbeijan and San Marino, but, coach Jarolim, doesn’t have at disposal all players that he would like to see in the team. There are no defenders Kaderabek and Gebre Selassie, and midfielder Darida, while Dockal, Krejci and Zmrhal are injured. Young forward player, Schick, is also out of action, so the starting line-up will be truly a mixed team.

Probable lineups:
Iceland: Halldorsson – Ingason, R. Sigurdsson, Arnason, Skulason – Sigurjonsson, Gunnarsson – Gudmundsson, Bjarnason, G. Sigurdsson – Finnbogason
Czech Republic: Pavlenka – Boril, Brabec, Suchy, Novak – Soucek, Jankto – Kopic, Barak, Husbauer – Krmencik

AS Monaco vs Besiktas Champions League 17-10-2017

AS Monaco vs Besiktas
Competition: UEFA Champions League
Date: 17 October 2017
Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: Stade Louis II 

For AS Monaco, the match with Besiktas team comes in a bad moment, taking into account that they cannot reach the desired form and at the same time must win due to the situation in standings. AS Monaco, in first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League, have won just two points after away draw with Leipzig 1-1, while after that it lost at home to Porto by 3-0, and right now it has 02 points fewer than them and 05 less than leading Besiktas.
After the defeat by Porto, everything went downslope for AS Monaco in the French championship as it firstly drew at home with Montpellier, while last weekend the team was defeat away by Olympique Lyon 3-2. Even though, AS Monaco still occupies the second place in the French Ligue 1 but now it has even six points fewer than Paris Saint Germain, which is definitely not good for their self-confidence ahead of match with Besiktas. The suspended defender, Sidibe, and injured forward, Jovetic, are supposed to miss the game.
On the other side, reigning champion of Turkey, Besiktas, is under far lesser pressure ahead of the 3rd round of UEFA Champions League given it triumphed in the first two rounds and fully deservedly occupies leading position in the Group G at the moment. For sure, Besiktas away triumph over Porto 3-1 was a great result, while after it Besiktas routinely defeated at home debutant in the UEFA Champions League, Leipzig, by 2-0.
Besides that, problems in the Turkish championship are piling up and Besiktas won just 01 point from last three rounds when it drew at home with Trabzonspor, while it was defeated away by Fenerbahce and Genclerbirligi. All that led to Besiktas downfall at 6th place in the table, where they have eight points fewer than leading Galatasaray, but just two than second-placed Goztepe. Stopper Nukan and forward Tore will skip the match because of injuries, while defender Erkin is suspended.

Probable lineups:
AS Monaco: Subasic – Toure, Glik, Jemerson, Jorge – Lopes, Fabinho, Moutinho, Lemar – Falcao, Keita
Besiktas: Fabricio – Gonul, Pepe, Tosic, Adriano – Hutchinson, Ozyakup – Quaresma, Talisca, Babel – Tosun
