However, in public Raiola is sticking to the line that Haaland will stay at Dortmund for some time: " He has to continue to grow. He will stay in Dortmund for as long as is necessary. He is a great player. It is fun to watch him and see how each game develops. Nobody thought that he would adapt so well to a team like Borussia.

English League One. We will be watching a top league match between Coventry and Portsmouth.

Guests have been playing well lately and have as many as 9 wins in a row! Portsmouth have played 3-3 at home this season with Coventry.

A win at home to Orlando Magic is going to be important for them but their opponents are in the final qualifying position of the Eastern Conference. The Trail Blazers are 12-16 for the season and are just behind the Sacramento Kings as they bid to make the play-offs.

MELBOURNE, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Australia are not just going to next year's Copa America to make up the numbers and will be looking to "shock the world" by beating co-hosts Argentina on the way to reaching the quarter-finals, coach Graham Arnold said on Wednesday. Australia, who will make their debut at the South American continental championship as one of two invited guest sides, were on Tuesday drawn in Argentina's Group A alongside Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Chile.
Juventus have already secured top spot in Group D and will have little to play for. The Italians may opt to rest key players, in the wake of the shaky run they have had in the last two matches. This should be an advantage to Bayer Leverkusen, who are playing at home in a must win game. Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in six matches ahead of this clash and have done well at home recently. They will be looking to take full advantage of this as they pray for an Atletico Madrid loss. Playing at home, against a side with nothing to lose, and on the back of their recent form, we feel Bayer Leverkusen will win this game.

Away from home, Wednesday visitors have conceded 18 goals, have zero clean sheets and have conceded two or more in seven out of eight. They've also given up an average of 5.88 shots on target, as well as an average of 13 shots. Such numbers don't exactly bode well, even if they're up against a side that hasn't thrived.
It's Chinandega who need the points from this game but they are struggling for form. Their away record is poor and goals are precious commodities at present. The home side are struggling too and can't make the play-offs after a string of bad results. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the one to make for this fixture.
All of it was set against a backdrop of outrage inside Ibrox. Fort William's child ultrasIt seems that things turned ugly when Fort William played Strathspey Thistle at Claggan Park in March. The behaviour of the, er, notorious Fort William Ultras was the subject of a condemnatory statement from the club's chairman, Peter Murphy. View more on twitter"Following unacceptable behaviour of The Ultras Supporters Group over a number of games this season, we have taken the decision to ban the group from home games," it read.
Willian Jose put the home side ahead midway through a first half in which they created a slew of chances but Manu Trigueros levelled 13 minutes into the second period from the penalty spot after Samuel Chukwueze was felled by Igor Zubeldia. Santi Cazorla then gave the visitors the lead in the 75th minute with a strike that was originally ruled offside then awarded following a VAR review.
Ross County will host Kilmarnock after picking up an important win that will serve them well for their relegation battle. We're going to back both teams to score for this game, as Ross County has seen that happen in their last three home ties whilst it's also happened in two of Kilmarnock's previous four away days. A 1-1 draw also seems like a good shout, as the hosts have done relatively well on home turf this season although not so well in defence, letting in an average of 2.38 goals but also managing to score 1.5 times. In stark contrast, Killie has conceded far less- 1.88 goals- but has also scored half of the amount their upcoming opponents have.
Australia women football league, Adelaide will play against Perth Women. Adelaide united sit on 9th spot and lost their last 6 matches and they are in awful shape right now, so they will be motivated to win this match. In contrast, Perth sit on 8th spot on the table with 5 defeats and a draw so far. they play very bad too, so this will be hard match. I think hosts will be able to win this match. They have home advantage and they will be more motivated. So I think they will be able to win this match too.
The European Championships which were due to take place in the summer have already been postponed until next year which would clear the way to finish the season and the general consensus seems to be that this is the only fair way to conclude issues around promotion and relegation. However, there are also huge financial implications for clubs currently missing ticket receipts and with broadcast commitments owing.
And, of course, again I do not see a scenario in which that would not be Liverpool. I understand that fans will be disappointed if it happens in an empty stadium or even at the green table, but I believe they will win the title one way or another.

Barcelona have an ideal opportunity to clinch the goup with a win over Borussia Dortmund. They are in good form and top of La Liga with an incredible home record in this competition. Borussia Dortmund have struggled of late and are sixth in the Bundesliga. They will be nervously looking to see how Inter are getting on against Slavia Prague because the tip here is for a home win.
They led in that game but an equalizer 10 minutes from time denied them the victory. United have no wins in their last three games, losing in the Women's FA Cup to Manchester City and a home loss to Chelsea in the WSL Cup. Five of their seven home league games have ended in victory, last beating Spurs 3-0 but before that they had slipped to a 1-0 loss at home to bottom-of-the-table Bristol City.

Manchester United's attempt to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes has stalled because the clubs cannot agree a fee. Sporting are demanding 80m euros (£68m) for the 25-year-old, which United are unwilling to pay. Talks continue between the clubs for a player rated at 45m euros by Tottenham Hotspur last summer. United have not ruled out targeting alternatives having made a priority of looking at midfield options this month.
By that point the Reds were in total control. They won the league without playing, thanks to Manchester City failing to beat Chelsea, and are on course for a record points tally. Gibbons: "We knew the head to heads were going to be important even at this early stage. You couldn't rely on anyone else to take points off City - you had to do it yourself. Murray: "It was a symbolic win. What happened the previous season, particularly at Etihad Stadium, was the difference between it going one way or the other.
Atalanta weren’t also entirely comfortable defensively against Lazio earlier. In that game, they conceded twice in the opening 12 minutes but credit to their attack, they came back to win 3-2. Facing a Napoli side that has also done well since the resumption of football is therefore going to be a real challenge.
There have been many great strikers at Atletico Madrid over the last decade. Diego Forlan, Sergio Aguero, Radamel Falcao, and Antoine Griezmann to name but a few. The latest lot aren't having a vintage campaign. Even so, this is still Simeone's Atletico and one thing they know how to do is grind out results. Back them to find a goal somewhere and win 1-0.

Brentford have won six of their last eight Championship games (L2) – no side has won more over this period in the competition. They head here with three wins in four trips, scoring three times in each of those wins.

The home side come into this game hoping to bounce back after Sunday’s defeat at Watford. They are now seven points behind the final Champions League place. Home form has been good though with three wins in the last four league and cup games and no defeats in the last 12 since losing to Crystal Palace.
They stay a point clear of Manchester City and are the only unbeaten team in the league. It was a tough game last week with the winner coming from a 65th minute penalty. That was their fourth straight league win with only two goals conceded in those matches. Chelsea are the joint top league scorers and only conceded three goals in total.
Tabor Sezana may have 29 points at this moment but they simply cannot consider themselves safe from relegation as they are only 3 points away from the 2nd from bottom club right now, but at home they are usually very good at scoring, scored with Olimpija, actually took the lead early on in the first game between them here at this venue but lost the game with 2-1 in the end. Except for a 4-0 loss at home to strong Celje they have scored in 10 games in a row at home but also conceded, defensively they are really not that strong even at home.
We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half time 'even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open'. But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.
