Croatia captain Luka Modric has welcomed the return of home fans for Thursday's difficult Nations League meeting with Spain in Zagreb.

The World Cup finalists have been forced to play their last two competitive home matches behind closed doors as part of their punishment imposed by Uefa after a swastika was marked on their pitch before a Euro 2016 home qualifier against Italy.

That was just the latest in a litany of offences for racism that has seen Croatia consistently punished.

"We are facing a very difficult match," Modric told reporters on the eve of the game at the Maksimir stadium.

"We need to be patient, wise and not to rush," added the 33-year-old Real Madrid midfielder. Bet Now on NaijaBet

"Playing in front of full stands is an additional motivation. The fans will certainly be of major importance for us, we will give our best and try to win."

The Bafana Bafana squad is shaping up well ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Nigeria on Saturday.

Coach Stuart Baxter was more than happy following Wednesday’s practice game at Steyn City School in which he tried what might be his preferred starting 11.

Without giving much away with three days to go before the crunch game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria, the Bafana Bafana coach said he had an idea of his starting lineup although one or two changes might still come to mind.

“I have an idea of what I need to do although there might be one or two changes and I also need to fine-tune a few areas ahead of Saturday’s game. But I must say that I was very happy with the training today,” he told journalists on Wednesday.

He said Thulani Serero who carries a lot of the home crowd’s expectation on his shoulders had been very comfortable on the ball although he was tentative in the beginning. Place bet on today matches on [url]NaijaBet.COM[/url]

Fulham appointed Italian veteran Claudio Ranieri as manager on Wednesday after sacking Slavisa Jokanovic in a bid to beat the drop from the Premier League.

Jokanovic led Fulham back into England's top flight in May 2018 but the 50-year-old Serbian has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League.

After 12 games, Fulham sit bottom of the pile with just five points and one win from 12 games.

Ranieri, who famously led Leicester to a fairytale Premier League title in 2016, was a free agent after being sacked by French Ligue 1 club Nantes one game before the end of last season.

He has been given a "multi-year" contract by Fulham chairman Shahid Khan.

UEFA nation league is the next big fixtures

Having finally shaken off their World Cup hangover, finalists Croatia are aiming for their first Nations League victory when they face Spain on Thursday, the side who inflicted a 6-0 drubbing in September.

Coach Zlatko Dalic has named a 25-man squad, including three new faces, to face Spain at Zagreb's Maksimir stadium and England on November 18 at Wembley.

"I'm focused on the match against 'La Furia (Roja)', we need that victory," Dalic said earlier this month.

AC Milan forward Gonzalo Higuain has apologised for getting dismissed against Juventus, the club that sent him to San Siro on loan this season, during a 2-0 defeat on Sunday in which he also missed a first-half penalty.

Enraged after being penalised following a collision with Juventus defender Medhi Benatia, the former Real Madrid and Napoli forward was booked for dissent, then given another yellow immediately afterward for continuing to protest.

"First of all, I want to apologise to the team, the coach, the supporters and the referee for my reaction," Higuain said.

"I take responsibility for what happened. Obviously, I hope that it doesn't happen again. It was one of those moments -- we were losing, I missed a penalty and we aren't robots but people. But I don't want to try and justify my actions." Bet Now on NaijaBet

Santiago Solari will become Real Madrid's permanent coach until the end of the season, according to papers filed with the Spanish football association, the sports channel ESPN reported on Monday.

The 42-year-old Argentine has led the team to four wins in four games since replacing Julen Lopetegui at the helm of the European champions two weeks ago.

Spanish rules prevent an interim coach from staying in charge for longer than 15 days, which expire on Monday, without being appointed on a permanent basis.

The Spanish Football Association (RFEF) said that Madrid had filed papers to hire Solari on that basis.

Manchester United can forget trying to challenge Manchester City until they can even compete for a place in the Premier League top four, Jose Mourinho confessed as his side were outclassed in a 3-1 derby defeat by the English champions on Sunday.

A fourth league loss of the season leaves United already 12 points adrift of their local rivals just 12 games into the new campaign.

Of even more concern for Mourinho's job prospects, the Red Devils are now also seven points adrift of the top four, putting Champions League qualification for next season at risk.

Indeed, eighth-placed United are now as close to Cardiff in the relegation zone as they are to City.

Manchester City starts the weekend top of the league but they could be as low as third by the time the derby starts. Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten in the league this season and have kept a clean sheet in six of their last seven in the competition.

City have only conceded four league goals all season and three were by defenders and the other was a Danny Ings penalty.

Manchester United have conceded the first goal in each of their last three away matches but have avoided defeat in all three games (W2, D1) after producing a remarkable comeback against Juventus in midweek, winning 2-1. Jose Mourinho's side are also the only side to beat City at the Etihad in the Premier League in the last 37 games there.

Despite showing signs of revival in recent weeks, it would be a huge surprise if United even managed a draw on Sunday. City are producing jaw-dropping football on a weekly basis and should prove too much for Mourinho's men. There will certainly be no way back for United if they continue to start games poorly.

Dortmund sit top of the Bundesliga table, four points ahead of Bayern, and looked much improved this season under new manager Lucien Favre. They are unbeaten at the Signal-Iduna-Park this season in all competitions and have scored three or more goals in six of their seven home games in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Bayern Munich has endured a rough start under new manager Niko Kovac and their rather old and thin squad seems past their peak, with younger players like Kingsley Coman, Corentin Tolisso and Thiago out injured. They have picked up positive results returned since mid-October, but they are not performing to their best, illustrated by several narrow wins against lesser sides.

Dortmund has a huge chance to extend the gap between themselves and Bayern to seven points here and the 2-0 Champions League defeat at Atletico in midweek might have served as a timely wake-up call. Their impressive home form against strong opposition and the relentless support from their crowd could carry them to another victory here and set the ground for a tense title race this season.

Arsenal has a 100 per cent record in Group E after three matches and have already won their hardest fixture on paper: away to Sporting. The Gunners will guarantee a place in the next round with a win, while a draw would be enough if Vorskla loses at home to Qarabag.

Sporting are still in a good position in the group despite losing at home to Arsenal. They are three points clear of Vorskla in second and are expected to progress even if they lose on Thursday.

Sporting has won just two of 11 matches in England (D2, L7) and are winless in their last six matches there (D1, L5). Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 14 competitive matches (W12, D2) and should maintain that run on Thursday.

Manchester City's Spanish manager Pep Guardiola says it would be impossible for him to ever coach another team in England and says he is now a Mancunian for life.

Guardiola, who led City to the Premier League title last season with a record points tally of 100, signed a contract extension with the champions earlier this year that will take him to the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

One of the most successful managers in world football, Guardiola has been known to keep his coaching stints brief, spending four years at Barcelona and three at Bayern Munich.

However, even if he ended his stay at City after five years in 2021, he said he could not envisage one day managing a Premier League rival.

"I will be Mancunian for rest of my life. I will (always) be a Manchester City fan, it would not be possible to train another team in England like Manchester City," Guardiola said in an interview. Start forecasting your weekend games Now on [url]NaijaBet.com[/url]
