Savage, formerly of Leicester, Blackburn and Derby, has signed for the semi-professional side from the 10th tier of English football eight years after playing his last professional game.

Schalke is probably the worst shaped team of the whole Bundesliga and a win for them seems to be unlikely, however they have a huge experience and they can win despite coming from 10 matches with no win in Bundesliga. Leverkusen has been certainly better than them being involved in the fight for a Champions League place, however they have been quite inconsistent in the last weeks, beating Mgladbach and Freiburg but also conceding 4 goals to Wolfsburg and Bayern. Leverkusen could be a bit tired after their DFB Pokal match and Schalke could take advantage of that to win this match.

Southampton have been improving massively and looking at their run in the last six matches, we believe they will throw everything at Wolves. The visitors go to this clash as the weaker side, psychologically, having failed to win any of their last five matches. Furthermore, they had a midweek game and lost, getting eliminated from the FA Cup. Meanwhile, among the good stats for Southampton, they have not trailed at half time in their last six matches, and they have gone on to win five. Based on this, we will go for Southampton to lead at half time and full time.

The visitors lost their first group match and are poor on their travels. It's even worse in this competition and Racing can extend that poor run.

Manchester City aren’t exactly in the same trouble as Aston Villa, but their season has been no less disappointing than the newly promoted club. The reigning Premier League champions sit 3rd in the table, but a huge 14 point chasm between themselves and the top spot makes a third consecutive title look almost impossible right now.
It's an uphill battle now, but we have been written off time and time again this season and come back," he added.

Torpedo fc have held BATE fc up to the end of the game while they were both unable to find the back of the net, and that game ended without a goal so I think this opponent was very tough for them to overcome but they fought enough to share the spoil and they were on the road so here they are at their home ground I expect them to take all entire points. The visitors have won their last home game with 1-0 scoreline but they look like they are very poor in their performance when they are away from home so there nothing to expect from them. I expect home to win the game.

Antonio Conte has already made history as the only manager to win 12 of the first 14 Serie A games with two different sides.

In this moment, I think that Villarreal is better team than Leganes and they will probably win in this duel, that is very real option and I will try that.

Leganes, on the other side is in poor form and team is lost last three away matches, 0-1, 0-2 and 0-5. Yes, with this form, for me is home team much closer to win.

City had eight, and 16 in totalReal started off by seeing a lot of the ball - as much as 70% in the first few minutes - but City looked like they were in a good shape and limited their opportunities pretty well. A couple of loose passes got City in a little bit of trouble early on but when Real were bringing the ball forward and building attacks, Guardiola's side looked extremely comfortable. City were actually beginning to take control of the game when they fell behind on the hour mark, and again they brought on their own downfall because it was Rodri who let Real in when he gave the ball away in a key area.

Auxerre were battered in the quarter-final, then they were too good for Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the last four.

Belgian league set to be finished early Club BrugesGetty Images In a possible glimpse into our own future, yesterday the Belgian top flight put forward a proposal which would see the current league season concluded, with existing league positions confirmed.
