Juventus vs Napoli - Italian Serie A 29-10-2016


Juventus vs Napoli - Competition: Italian Serie A 
 
Juventus team are back to winning ways after losing at AC Milan last weekend. They top the Italian Serie A standings two points ahead of the chasing pack and enter this match on the back of a 4-1 victory over Sampdoria, a match saw returning defender Giorgio Chiellini grab a rare brace. They have won 34 of their last 38 Serie A matches and are undefeated in their last 6 home matches against Napoli in all competitions.
Paulo Dybala and Marko Pjaca are still out through injury. As consequence, Mario Mandzukic will continue to partner Gonzalo Higuain up front. In defense, Patrice Evra is expected to miss out and the Frenchman will be replaced by Alex Sandro. On the other flank, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Dani Alves are in contention for a starting berth. Claudio Marchisio is now fully fit and will likely feature as playmaker in the middle of the park.
Having lost three straight matches - including the 2:3 loss to Besiktas in UCL - Napoli seem to be back on track after consecutive wins. The Partenopei picked up all three points in their fixture with Empoli (2-0) last Wednesday, following their 2-1 away win over Crotone at the weekend. Last season, Sarri's men suffered a narrow defeat at the Juventus Stadium as Simone Zaza scored a late goal in what was a title deciding match.
Napoli team are without a central forward at the moment. Arkadiusz Milik is still sidelined with a broken ligament while Manolo Gabbiadini is suspended. Dries Mertens is likely to be used as the false nine once again with Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne out wide. Raul Albiol is a major doubt and will be probably replaced by Nikola Maksimovic. The likes of Marek Hamsik, Allan and Jorginho are expected to start in midfield.

Leicester City vs Kobenhavn - Competition: UEFA Champions League

Leicester team made a fantastic start to the UCL campaign as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Club Brugge in Belgium, and they followed up that victory with an impressive 1-0 home win over an FC Porto. Anyway, they are struggling in Premier League and enter this match on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. That was their fourth loss on the road in the league but they have been a different proposition at home with two wins and two draws and just the one goal conceded. The Foxes suffered just three losses last term but they have been already beaten by the likes of Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea thus far, losing by three goals in each of those games.
Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani were rested against Chelsea team on Saturday and will come back into the starting XI tonight. Midfielders Nampalys Mendy and Matthew James remain sidelined with ankle injuries, but Shinji Okazaki is hoping to recover in time to play. The defense is likely to be formed by Danny Simpson, Christian Fuchs, Robert Huth and Wes Morgan.
Copenhagen team are on top of the Danish Superliga and unbeaten in 13 matches in all competitions so far, including eight Champions League matches this season having started their campaign in July. The Danish outfit held Porto to a 1-1 draw in Portugal and beat 4-0 Club Brugge on their own turf. With four points from a possible six however, Copenhagen remain in very real contention for a place in the knockout stages. As to the Champions League qualifiers, Copenhagen got the better of Crusaders (9-0 aggregate) Astra (4-1 aggregate) and also APOEL (2-1 aggregate).
The Danes do not have serious injury concerns and will field their regular starting XI. Federico Santander and Andreas Cornelius are expected to lead the line in a 4-4-2 formation. Jan Gregus is back in contention after serving his suspension in the last match, although Ståle Solbakken may stick with Benjamin Verbic after his impressive performance against Club Bruges.

Netherlands vs France - Qualifications FIFA 2018
Amsterdam Arena, Amsterdam, Netherlands 
Monday, 10 October 2016 - 20:45 CET

Following a 1-1 draw at Sweden back in September, Netherlands team won 4-1 at home against Belarus last time out, with 24-year-old Quincy Promes scoring a brace. Their win ended a shocking run of five losses in a row at home for them, and they have only won four of their last 13 on home turf, losing six of them.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has missed out on the squad, but Quincy Promes and Vincent Janssen made up for his absence in midweek. Davy Klaassen, Wesley Sneijder and Quncy Promes are expected to start in the offensive midfielders positions. Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has injured an ankle in training and is set to be replaced by Michel Vorm. Arjen Robben has been also ruled out through injury.
France team recorded a comfortable 4-1 home win against Bulgaria as Kevin Gameiro got two and Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet bagged a goal apiece. That result followed a disappointing draw at Belarus last month and a 3-1 defeat of Italy in an International Friendly. Sagna has been ruled out after suffering a hamstring injury last time out and will be replaced by Djibril Sidibe. This could be Didier Deschamps' only change to his 4-2-3-1 formation, in which Gameiro will retain his lone forward berth and Payet, Griezmann and Moussa Sissoko will start as offensive midfielders.
The last meeting between these two sides came in March as a memorial match for Johan Cruyff with France coming out on top 3-2 in Amsterdam thanks to a last minute goal by Blaise Matuidi after Netherlands had come back from 2-0 down.

Probable lineups:
Netherland: Stekelenburg – Karsdorp, van Dijk, Bruma, Blind – Strootman, Propper – Promes, Klaassen, Wijnaldum – Janssen 
France Lloris – Sidibe, Varane, Koscielny, Kurzawa – Matuidi, Pogba – Sissoko, Griezmann, Payet – Gameiro.
